PART debates long-term funding BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GREENSBORO – Mass transit agency leader Brent McKinney doesn’t sugarcoat the future funding dilemma for the Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation. The agency that ferries tens of thousands of passengers each month on buses across the Piedmont is in solid financial shape now, McKinney told the PART board of trustees during a meeting Wednesday. The agency launched 12 years ago has a fund balance of between $5 million and $6 million. But given expected expenses, demands for service and personnel considerations, PART faces draining its fund balance by the 2012 fiscal year unless tough decisions are made about how the agency is funded and operates, said McKinney, the PART executive director. Two examples – the cost of fuel is up 20 percent from a year ago, and PART has five park-and-ride lots under construction, including one in northwest High Point at N. Main Street and Old Plank Road. PART Express buses serve riders in eight counties and last year carried 453,583 passengers. McKinney and members of the board acknowledged that PART’s options will involve prickly political and fiscal decisions for elected officials from across the region. The PART trustees are elected officials representing county and municipal governments in 10 counties. Last year PART total expenditures were $14.5 million. PART’s revenue stream primarily comes from bus fares, a 5 percent rental car tax and state and federal grants. McKinney has warned in the past that the mass transit agency can’t sustain its growth based on those revenue streams. McKinney mentioned possible options of a license tag fee or halfcent sales tax in Guilford and Forsyth counties to secure funding for PART. But board members, such as Greensboro City Councilman Robbie Perkins and Randolph County Commissioner Darrell Frye, acknowledged that any proposed tax or fee increase will be a tough sell in a difficult economy. “Government revenues are lagging, and we are feeling the collapse of the economy. There needs to be a real strategy to sell this,” Perkins said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Analyst gives take on state of industry. 1B

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Rep. Howard Coble toured the High Point Market on Sunday and said he heard s o m e positive stories f r o m marketCoble goers as well as general concerns about the state of the furniture industry. After meeting with exhibitors in the 200 Steele building and Showplace, Coble, R-6th District, said market attendees seemed “upbeat, but cautiously optimistic” about the furniture market, which opened Saturday. “Based on my conversations with other people, the atmosphere has been very upbeat,” Coble told The High Point Enterprise Sunday. “That seems to be the feeling I get from the exhibitors I’ve seen today.” He also said the importance of the event shouldn’t be forgotten. “I always make time to visit the market because this event is so very significant to the well-being of the economy in North Carolina,” he said. “It generates so much revenue.” Brian Casey, High Point Market Authority president and CEO, said Saturday that this market could be one of the best markets in the

Some exhibitors, however, said the market had a slow start on Saturday with increased traffic by Sunday afternoon. “Compared to last spring, Saturday was down a little,” said Meredith Younger Spell, a spokesperson for Thomasville-based Younger Furniture, on Sunday. “But today (Sunday) has been a lot better than yesterday. We’re seeing some more people come in.” Other exhibitors reported low foot traffic and said they hoped more customers would pour in before the

event closes on Thursday. “The town seems pretty empty,” said Simon Hilton, marketing manager for Fauld Town & Country Furniture. “The reality is it’s only the second day of market, so it may be early, but we’d like to see more traffic. It really isn’t a lot different from last spring. It’s probably about the same.” Still, there were some exhibitors who were already happy with the number of orders they had written. “We’ve never had a bad market here,” said G.P. Shryer, a partner with Wilson Clements

LLC, which is showing lighting fixtures made out of recycled glass and other accessories at the Suites at Market Square. “We get new clients and new orders all of the time. It’s great for repeat orders.” Shryer added that he, like Casey, expected the market to make a comeback this year. “My expectations for this market is everything is coming back,” he said. “You may see fewer vendors, but the people who are here are going to come out of this thing (the recession).”

HIGH POINT – A key component of a High Point Police Department strategy to curb crime in one part of the city recently resulted in a successful outcome. When a judge ruled that three Hobson Street houses linked to years of criminal activity constituted a nuisance and ordered them forfeited, it eliminated the scene of dozens of incidents involving all manner of drug and violent crime in the Washington Drive neighborhood, according to police. Police are targeting the area with an initiative program designed to clean up street-level drug dealing and the violent crime that accompanies it. The nuisance abatement lawsuit represented one prong of the strategy involving civil action, focusing on 228, 230 and 232 Hobson St., where police responded to more than 319 calls

Habitat for Humanity construction supervisor James Garon (right) is joined by Habitat volunteers George Orsega (left) and Dave Stouppe (center) as they put the finishing touches on a foot stool at the Chair-ity fundraiser held in New Bern.

Habitat fundraiser provides anew for new homeowner NEW BERN (AP) – At the height of summer, Ketra Tucker will receive a very large gift. That statement is not merely an unsubstantiated prediction. Rather, it will become a reality thanks to Habitat for Humanity and a large group of volunteers. Tucker will receive the keys – and all the responsibilities of homeownership – when her new Habitat for Humanity house is completed in late July or early August. The two-story, three-bedroom house will nicely accommodate her family, which includes Tucker and her three children. “I feel blessed and happy,” she said Saturday, as she worked at the Habitat for Humanity Chair Fair for Chair-ity, a fundraiser intended to pay for the foundation of her new house. During the event, patrons placed bids on 50 wooden chairs, each designed and painted by 50 area artists who donated their time and talents. Bill and Carol Kemp donated the 50 blank-slate chairs and the artists provided each one with a one-of-a-kind artistic twist. Some

chairs featured a seascape theme while others paid tribute to Georgia O’Keefe or Andy Warhol. Still others carried a musical motif or other popular themes. The bright-

Aside from three bedrooms, the house design features one full bathroom and two half-bathrooms. ly colored creations adorned the sidewalk in front of Habitat for Humanity’s 930 Pollock St. location, where visitors could view them and place a silent auction bid. Organizers had hoped the chair auction would raise $5,000, but purchasers stepped it up a bit to drive the actual total raised to $6,769, said Jane Kistler Halweg, Habitat for Humanity’s New Bern executive director. Food and azalea sales raised an additional $3,738. Lela McClanahan, an artist and interior design instructor at

Carteret Community College, and about eight of her former and current students donated their time and talent to provide chairs for the event. The idea to participate began when one of the college’s interior design program graduates, Serah Cheatham, began to rally the program’s alumni to get involved. “I love painting and it’s for a good cause,” McClanahan said. “It was like a treat to do something I enjoy doing for a good cause.” Nearby in the parking lot an inspirational band provided live music while dozens of volunteers from eight churches dished out plates of roasted pork dinners. Lowe’s, which is Habitat for Humanity’s national partner, provided a craft area for children, said Kistler Halweg. “Everybody is coming out and having a good time,” said Julia Thomas, a First Baptist Church volunteer. “We appreciate all the volunteers and all the people who donated food.” Tucker said the foundation and exterior framing of her new house on Bryan Street are completed.

Students suspended over religious T-shirt dispute MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

MARION – A dispute between factions of students led to some suspensions last week at West McDowell Junior High School. West Principal Coy Gibson told The McDowell News on Friday that controversy arose last week over the expression of reli-

gious and irreligious sentiments on T-shirts which were regarded as offensive by some. The ensuing Tshirt war quickly escalated to the point of disruption, Gibson stated. “A couple of students have expressed agnostic beliefs in a way that was somewhat inappropriate and that upset some students who are Chris-

paign,” he continued, “of students wearing proChristian T-shirts that infuriated the agnostic students.” The pro-Christian faction was asking students to sign their T-shirts as a show of solidarity, he said. By that point, the controversy constituted a disruption, he determined.

Cases of beer left at landfill too hard to resist COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) – Two Columbia sanitation workers who apparently couldn’t stand by and let beer go down the drain allegedly took dozens of cases of expired brew from the city landfill. Police and city supervisors are trying to determine if the salvage was a crime – theft of city property – or just a policy violation.

Former soldier uses car to pay tribute to fallen MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

FAYETTEVILLE – The grim task took six hours, coating white aluminum with the names of dead men. Two hundred seventyseven of them, every U.S. special operations soldier killed since 9/11, placed carefully in blue lettering along the torso of a dirttrack race car. Never on the sides or too low on the hood: they’d get scratched off in action. In red on the roof, a soldier’s silhouette on one knee holds a rifle in front of a cross. Surrounding him is the familiar phrase, “All gave some. Some gave all.” The 2,400-pound speeding war memorial belongs to Mike Evock, a recently retired Special Forces soldier who calls Gray’s Creek home. These names – only a fraction of the more than 5,000 American troops killed in war since 9/11

“If we determine it’s a police matter, we will take some action,” said Officer Jessie Haden, a Columbia police spokeswoman. A Columbia distributor, Scheppers Distributing Co., sent 1,500 cases of expired beer to the landfill on April 1 in two shipments. The first shipment was destroyed immediately, but the

second, containing about 700 cases of Budweiser and Michelob Ultra, was not. Margrace Buckler, the city’s human resource director, said two Solid Waste Division workers, who haven’t been identified, brought a city pickup truck to the landfill and hauled off about 50 cases of the beer.

The fire crew at the track asked him if the names on his car – like on most race cars – were sponsors who helped finance his hobby. “Well, in a way,” Evock says. But they paid in blood. Pacing around the car – No. 773 as a nod to his last Special Forces unit – in jeans, sandals, a green Special Forces T-shirt and a Dale Earnhardt hat, Evock sees men he served with, men he considered friends. Men such as Master Sgt. Arthur L. Lilley, shot to death in Afghanistan on June 15, 2007. Evock had known Lilley since 1996. His name is on a row behind the driver’s seat. “I look down (at the car) and see his wife and little girl sitting up front at the memorial service.

NEW BERN – Rescued dogs looking for a loving home will be walking down a red carpet and posing for photographers at the nonprofit Paws For A Cause’s second annual Fur Ball benefit on May 1 that is aimed to raise money for local animal rescue groups. The guest speaker of the semi-formal fundraiser to be held at 6 p.m. at the Hilton is Joel Silverman, an animal trainer who was a host of the TV show “Good Dog U” on Animal Planet and the author of the dog training book “What Color is Your Dog?” Silverman will give a demonstration with a rescue dog named Foster who has been trained to work on movies, TV and in commercials, according to a news release.

The event will also include dinner, music, and a live auction. Rescue puppies will be showcased in case a member of the audience is looking to adopt. “The event is not only an event to celebrate the special bond people share with their pets, but to generate awareness of the many adoptable animals in need of a home in our community, and to raise money to support the local rescue organizations that care for their needs,” said Kerry McKeel, Paws For A Cause chairman, in the release. Event proceeds will benefit the Carolina Bassett Hound Rescue, the Colonial Capital Humane Society, the Croatan Animal Rescue & Sanctuary, Fran’s Felines, Home at Last Animal Foundation, and Pal’s for Paws, according to the release.

Parents: Texts didn’t spur teen’s suicide THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The parents of a North Carolina teen who hanged herself after receiving hurtful text messages from classmates say she suffered from depression and the circumstances of her suicide are not similar to other cases of high schoolers bullied by their peers. Ashley Rogers had been hospitalized for suicidal thoughts in the years be-

fore she hanged herself in her bedroom closet, her parents said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press on Saturday from their Kernersville home. Text messages their 15-year-old daughter received from boys at her school in the days leading up to her death Wednesday were mean, but Todd and Christine Rogers said they don’t think they drove her to suicide.

“We truly believe it was unintentional because of other depression issues that she’s had,” said Christine Rogers, the girl’s mother. “We feel like it was a cry for help and she was only out of our sight for 10 minutes and we were just a little too late.” The parents did not want to reveal the contents of the messages. They did not know the boys who sent them, but said they

were part of Ashley’s circle of friends. “The night they occurred I said I was going to school the next day to make a complaint, and she asked me not to because she feared retaliation,” said Christine Rogers, a nurse. She said when she spoke with officials at Glenn High School, where Ashley was a sophomore, they told her the texts were sent outside school

hours and would have to be reported to police. Christine Rogers said police told her they had not found anything criminal in the messages, but that the investigation is ongoing. The Kernersville Police Department would only say Saturday that it is investigating the death of a 15-year-old girl and would not release any details about the investigation or how the girl died.

Todd Rogers said they suspected Ashley was having a problem at school when she stopped eating lunch in the cafeteria and started eating homemade sandwiches in the dance studio. That change might have been a result of bullying, but the family said they don’t know. “We’re not saying that it’s not a problem and that the texting didn’t hurt her, it did,” Todd Rogers said.

HILLSBOROUGH – A teenager accused of firing a gun on a Chapel Hill High School bus was back in custody Friday after a judge increased his bond to $30,000. Aaron Small, 18, had been released on $15,000 bond Thursday, the day of the incident. The .22caliber revolver went off as he was pulling the gun out of his clothing and a bullet shot through a seat. No one was injured. Arguing for a bond of $150,000, Assistant District Attorney Lamar Proctor said Small had pending drug charges in Wake County and had failed to appear in court on a hit-and-run. He said Small also changed his clothing, gave police a false name and claimed people were shooting at him when officers responded to Chapel Hill High School Thursday.

Durham officer shoots, kills man during confrontation DURHAM (AP) – A North Carolina police officer has shot and killed a man during a confrontation. The Durham Police Department said in a news release

that Saturday’s shooting came as officers responded to a caller who said he had overdosed and was making suicide threats. Officers were confronted by a man when they arrived at the

location of the call. The man was pronounced dead at the scene. The names of the victim and the officer were not released. Police officials did not immedi-

ately return a phone message Sunday. The investigation has been turned over to the State Bureau of Investigation. The Herald-Sun of Durham

reported Sunday that this is the third officer-involved shooting in the small city about 30 miles northwest of Raleigh. Two of those shootings were fatal.

Is arts funding supporting the best activities? I am saddened by the departure of Jennifer Blevins as director of the High Point Community Theatre. She has touched the lives of hundreds of young people in our city giving them the opportunity to discover the magic of the theatre. Her productions have given audiences a glimpse of the talent that we have right here in our area and we didn’t have to leave the city limits to find it. Dealing with budget tightening over the last few years, Blevins was able to stretch dollars and find creative ways of fund raising to make up for lost dollars. What I don’t understand about the entire situation is this: If the city funds the High Point Arts Council and the Arts Council is to fund the agencies under its umbrella, how could there be no funds to sustain the High Point Community Theatre? Where did their money share go? For the past few years, the Arts Council has cut the share to the Community Theatre until I guess there was just too little left. Is it more important to fund a jazz and wine party for market goers than an organization that benefits so many in our own community? The High Point Arts Council should have to answer for this one and as our city budget comes up for consideration, I hope our leaders will make sure our tax money is getting the best for its citizens.

Elect Dick Johnson to the N.C. House of Representatives It is indeed a pleasure to recommend Dick Johnson for the N.C. House of Representatives. A lifelong resident of Davidson County, Johnson knows how important it is to communicate effectively with the people of this district. He never meets a stranger and is very attentive to people and their needs. His father, the late Robert Johnson, was the owner operator of Yadkin Valley Chevrolet. Robert taught Dick and his two brothers the value of hard work and treating people fairly and with integrity. Dick learned this lesson well and has a wonderful reputation in the car business as well as the real estate business where he now works. Married to an outstanding educator, Sandi Elliott Johnson, the father of two sons, he maintains a genuine interest in quality

education for the children of our state. I am sure that he will work diligently to insure that our state continues to pursue quality in the classroom. Working with the EF foundation to place foreign exchange students with area families, Johnson and his wife have seen first hand how small our world really is and how important it is to promote understanding of people in our communities with different cultures of the world. Through this programs, families have helped these students realize how similar we are in our desires and wishes for a world of peace and understanding. A life-long Methodist, Johnson serves his church well. He has just completed serving as the co-chair of a successful capital campaign. He will work tirelessly to understand the issues that are facing our state and will work to bring information from experts and citizens alike to problem solve for developing the most effective strategies for a plan of change. He is a fiscal conservative and will base his economic decisions on this approach. NANCY NUCKOLS Denton

We couldn’t afford delay of health care reform At long last, health care reform will become a reality. The law that passed is not all that it could be, but I have come to understand that putting off passage might have delayed any improvement for another 20 years. Millions of Americans will benefit as the law is phased in over the next few years. It outrages me that there are

still those obstructionist politicians who hope to keep us from experiencing the security that they, as our civil servants take for granted. For the sake of preventing “the other side” from scoring a success, they would have the rest of us do without. Some claim they object on the basis of fiscal responsibility. That does not wash when it comes from those who were happy to incur the unfunded expense of two wars while cutting taxes for the wealthy. I would like to thank those who supported passage of this law. As for the others, get over it! DIANE ILARDI Jamestown

Despite the fact that I’ve been a fairly fortunate individual all my life, I still have people in my family who have gone without health insurance. First, it was my cousin. Then my sister. Now, I am not covered. The trepidation from even the thought of being injured or falling ill is enough to keep me up at night. If I can’t afford health insurance, how could I ever afford to pay off medical bills? So when the health care reform bill was still being debated, I wrote Sen. Kay Hagan asking her to support it for myself, my family and millions of other people. I am certain that at times it was difficult to be a sentinel of this bill. However, in the face of seemingly rampant hysteria, which in some cases later turned violent, Hagan did vote for this bill. For that, I would like to thank her. RICHARD HRONEK Jamestown

So, may the Maverick’s integrity rest in peace

W

e are gathered here today to pay our final respects to John McCain’s integ-

rity. It died recently – turned a triple somersault, stiffened like an exclamation point, fell to the floor with its tongue hanging out – when the senator told Newsweek magazine, “I never considered myself a maverick.” This, after the hard-fought presidential campaign of 2008 in which McCain, his advertising team, his surrogates and his running mate all but tattooed the “M” word on their foreheads. Indeed, not only did they call McCain a maverick, but so did the subtitle of his 2003 memoir. Heck, his campaign plane when he ran for president back in 1999 was dubbed Maverick One. Yet there he is in the April 12, 2010, edition of Newsweek, page 29, top of the center column: “I never considered myself a maverick.” And his integrity kicked twice and was still. The death was not unexpected. McCain’s integrity had been in ill health for a long time. Once, it had been his most attractive political trait, drawing smitten

prose from political reporters and intrigued attention from voters sick of the same old, same old from politicians who would bend like Gumby for the OPINION electorate’s approval. Leonard McCain’s integPitts rity wouldn’t allow ■■■ him to be that guy. He was this hard bitten former Navy flier and heroic POW, impatient with the belittling demands of politics as usual, a fellow who would speak an impolitic truth or cross the aisle to work with the opposition because he had this quaint idea that the needs of the country superseded the needs of his party. Then came the GOP presidential primary of 2000 in which McCain was bested by one George Walker Bush and a load of dirty tricks. McCain took note. And his integrity took sick. The illness began in that selfsame campaign. By his own admission, McCain lied to voters about his opinion of the Confederate battle flag, fearing that calling

it what it is – a flag of treason, racism and slavery – would cost him votes in flag-worshipping South Carolina. In later years, he embraced right-wing religious extremists he had once condemned. And reneged on a promise that he’d be open to repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” if military leaders advised it. And went from opposition of offshore oil drilling to “Drill, baby, drill!” And et cetera. Two things here: One, all the nattering about flip-flops aside, there is nothing wrong with changing one’s opinion. It indicates a thinking mind. Two, McCain is hardly unique. Indeed, they have a name for people who change their opinions in order to win votes: politicians. But these are not just changes of opinion we’re talking about. Rather, they are betrayals of core principle. And while that might be politics as usual, there is a higher standard for the politician who has positioned himself as a man of uncommon integrity, a purveyor of straight talk in a nation hungry for same. When that man panders, the disappointment is keen.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

So it stings to see McCain knuckle under to the ideological rigidity that makes it heresy to cross the aisle, question the orthodoxy or have an independent thought. There’s a sense of loss for those who ask of leaders, leadership. It reinforces the cynical notion that there is no one out there who is authentic. One is reminded of that poignant scene in “The Truman Show” where Jim Carrey as Truman Burbank has just discovered his entire life was a made-for-TV fiction. “Was nothing real?” he asks. A voter who believed in John McCain, who regarded his iconoclastic singularity as a stirring example, might be forgiven for asking the very same thing. “I never considered myself a maverick?!” Wow. With those words, McCain completes his transmutation into an avatar of all that is wrong in American politics. May his integrity rest in peace.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – A moderate earthquake has rattled the eastern Dominican Republic and western Puerto Rico. No damage or injuries are being reported in what the U.S. Geological Survey recorded as a magnitude5.1 temblor.

JERUSALEM (AP) – Iran is a danger to the whole civilized world, not just Israel, President Shimon Peres warned Sunday, setting an especially somber tone for his nation’s annual memorial day for soldiers and civilians killed in wars and terror attacks. Alluding to Iran’s nuclear program, Peres said the country threatens to annihilate Israel. “On no account must we underestimate these threats,� he said. “Nor should our enemies underestimate our capabilities.� Israel has been urging the world community to impose stiff sanctions on Iran to force it to abandon its nuclear program, but Israel has not taken the option of a military strike against Iran off the table. Israel, the U.S. and others believe Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons. Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful. Speaking at the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem before relatives of fallen soldiers, Peres added, “A threat to the peace of the Jewish people always carries the danger of turning into a threat to the civilized world as a whole.� Israel considers Iran a threat because of its nuclear program, long-range missiles and frequent references by its president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Palin taken aback by ’superpower’ remark WASHINGTON, Ill. – Sarah Palin criticized President Barack Obama on Saturday for saying America is a military superpower “whether we like it or not,� saying she was taken aback by his comment. “I would hope that our leaders in Washington, D.C., understand we like to be a dominant superpower,� the former Alaska governor said. “I don’t understand a world view where we have to question whether we like it or not that America is powerful.� Obama said earlier this week that the United States must do its best to resolve conflicts around the world before they grow too serious.

Clinton: Look beyond judges for court pick WASHINGTON – Bill Clinton says someone who hasn’t been a judge should be considered for the Supreme Court. But scratch the idea of the ex-president or his wife as a justice. Clinton suggested that President Barack Obama follow a model that Clinton used when he tried unsuccessfully to persuade then-New York Gov. Mario Cuomo and then-Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell to agree to be nominated to the high court. The former president urged Obama to pick someone around 50 years old. Justice John Paul Stevens’ recent decision to retire hands Obama a second chance to shape the court.

DAVIDSON COUNTY – The Davidson County Board of Commissioners last week agreed to purchase land for a new EMS base in the northwest part of the county.

HIGH POINT – The High Point Task Force of the Guilford County Coalition on Infant Mortality will sponsor an April 23 child abuse prevention community awareness fair.

Ready to buy Analyst says fresh inventory is a must for retailers BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – There’s one factor that furniture industry veteran and analyst Jerry Epperson says should push buyers to purchase new inventory at the High Point Market – a buildup of stale inventory. “The consumer has seen everything you have, and they’re tired of it,” he told a crowd of marketgoers at an educational seminar Sunday morning. Epperson, a furniture industry analyst with Mann, Armistead & Epperson Ltd., publishes the monthly Furnishings Digest Newsletter out of Richmond, Va. He said at the seminar the state of the furniture industry was best determined by the performance of the mattress and bedding sector. “The bedding sector is the purest indicator of the health of our business because there is no inventory cushion that you’ve got to

work through like most furniture categories,” he said. “The good news is that in October of 2009, (bedding) showed a modest gain.” While mattress sales were down 10 percent for 2009, the newsletter has documented percent gains in the sector every month since October. February saw a 12 percent gain. “The mattress sector is the best indicator we have of what’s to come,” he said. Given the somewhat good news, he said retailers should be ready to replace at least 35 percent of their merchandise, which will give consumers a reason to come back to their stores again. Exhibitors at the High Point Market partially agreed with Epperson’s view but said they still sensed a hesitancy from buyers to place new, large orders. “If the economy was vibrant, I think the answer would be yes, retailers would be ready,” said Simon Hilton, marketing manager with Fauld Town & Country

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

Furniture. “I just don’t know that it’s there yet.” Meredith Younger Spell, a spokesperson for Thomasvillebased Younger Furniture, agreed with Epperson, adding that retailers needed new color and designs in stores to attract consumers. “It’s not just that things have been getting stale,” she said. “I think retailers need more color. People have been telling us they need more color to bring change to their floors.” Epperson also told retailers at the seminar that they needed to find a way to connect with Generation Y shoppers, those born between 1977 and 1994. “That’s where the growth is going to be,” he said. “They (Generation Y) don’t have time to shop like baby boomers do. They’re only thinking about where they’re going to be in the next five years or so. You’ve got to find a way to reach them.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Dede Allen edits film negatives in this undated photo.

Pioneering film editor dies at 86 LOS ANGELES (AP) – Dede Allen, the film editor whose pioneering work on movies like “The Hustler� and “Bonnie and Clyde� brought a new approach to shaping the look and sound of American movies, has died. She was 86. Allen died Saturday at her home in Los Angeles days after suffering a stroke, her son Tom Fleischman told The Los Angeles Times. With “Bonnie and Clyde� in 1967, Allen became the first film editor to receive sole credit on a movie. She was nominated for Academy Awards

for that movie, 1975’s “Dog Day Afternoon,� “Reds� in 1981 and “Wonder Boys� in 2000. Allen was the first American to embrace European methods of editing by beginning sequences with close-ups or jump cuts and using the sound from the next shot while the previous scene was still playing. Greg S. Faller, professor of film studies at Towson University in Maryland, said “The Hustler� and “Bonnie and Clyde� “must be considered benchmark films in the history of editing.�

NEW YORK (AP) – Ralph Snodsmith, a specialist in gardening who tilled the mediums of radio, television and publishing to help homeowners in New York and across the country to care for their plants and to help them to thrive, died Saturday in Fredericksburg, Va. He was 70. He died from complications of a broken hip, said Mary Snodsmith, his wife of 47 years. “He was just a gentle man. He cared about people. And he liked people,� she said. Joe Bartlett, the news director of WOR-AM where her husband was host of “Garden Hotline,� called Ralph Snodsmith “the foremost authority on gardening.� “He’s helped millions of people with their gardening questions, whether it’s their indoor plants, gardens or trees,� he said. Snodsmith for eight years served as a gardening expert on “Good Morning America,� wrote several popular books

10301 North N.C. 109 Winston-Salem Wallburg Community 769-5548

on gardening, including “The Tri-State Gardener’s Guide� and “Fundamentals of Gardening,� and lectured at the New York Botanical Garden. With degrees in floriculture and ornamental horticulture, he approached his subject with a scientist’s tenor and a gardener’s love for the earthiness of the art. “Planting the right plant in the right environment means more than just knowing the amount of sun or shade it will receive,� he writes in “New York Gardener’s Guide.� ‘’Consider exposure to cold and wind.� Snodsmith was born Nov. 21, 1939, in Mount Vernon, Ill. He began his career as an agricultural extension agent in Rockland County, N.Y., before becoming executive director of the Queens Botanical Garden in New York City. For more than 35 years, he served as host of “Garden Hotline� and was a distinguished lecturer.

Democratic Senate hopefuls divided on death penalty

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

Impressive flowers Folks passing through downtown Thomasville can’t help but be inpressed by the flowers around the square area. These are tulips and pansies in front of the big chair.

RALEIGH (AP) – The leading candidates for the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination are divided on the death penalty but generally agree on other social policy issues such as keeping abortion laws intact and ending “don’t ask, don’t tell� in the military. The candidates also agree on supporting immigration rules that don’t send most illegal immigrants across the border. Attorney Ken Lewis said he opposes capital punishment in all circumstances. Former state Sen. Cal Cunningham said he believes the death penalty should be carried out for the most heinous offenses, like those involving terrorism or military-related crimes. “It is appropriate in those narrow cases of the most extreme misconduct,� Cunningham, who served as an Army prosecutor, said in a recent series of interviews. Lewis said there’s no reason to sentence people to death if they can be sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. “I don’t think the government should take life unless it’s necessary. I see no necessity for the death penalty,� said Lewis, who worked on some death penalty appeals

while in law school. Secretary of State E l a i n e Marshall, also an atMarshall torney, said she’s satisfied with the current standstill in North Carolina state government over the death penalty. A de facto death penalty moratorium has been in place for three years while legal challenges have been pending over how executions are carried out. “We’re not even ready to think about� carrying out death sentences in the state, Marshall said, pointing to past allegations of prosecutorial misconduct and eyewitnesses to crimes naming the wrong suspects. She said she wasn’t painting federal prosecutions with a similar brush. Cunningham, Marshall and Lewis emerged earlier this year as the strongest candidates to challenge for Richard Burr’s seat, each entering 2010 with more than $100,00 in campaign cash.

Sexually active seniors risk spreading disease

D

ear Abby: April is Sexually Transmitted Disease/Infection (STD/STI) Month. The good news is that many younger people pay attention to the education they have received and are more likely to use protection when having sex. The troubling news is, one of the fastest-growing groups of people contracting and spreading STDs/STIs is senior citizens. Some blame medications for erectile dysfunction; others blame midlife divorces and online dating sites. The biggest factor is lack of education. When seniors were growing up, they had to think about only two STDs. Today there are many more. Back then, the “worst� thing that could happen if you had unprotected sex was that you could get pregnant. Now, because many are past menopause, that risk factor is gone, so they don’t use condoms. And the STDs and STIs rage on. Many seniors won’t talk to their doctors about their sexual activity, and – worse – many doctors don’t bring up the subject because they feel uncomfortable or mistakenly assume older people don’t engage in sexual activity. Please, Abby, urge your older readers to get tested for STDs/STIs. – Edward Salko, D.O., Fort Myers, Fla.

Dear Dr. Salko: I long for the days when the only things people associated April ADVICE with were paying Dear taxes and Abby the rain ■■■that would bring May flowers. But enough about ancient history. Readers, if you are sexually active – and this applies to those of you from your teens to your 90s – for your own sake as well as that of your partner, use a condom every time unless you and your partner have been tested for STDs and know with certainty that neither of you has one. Not everyone who has an STD is aware of it – and you can’t tell by looking at someone whether that person is infected. Dear Abby: I work with a woman who talks to dragonflies and believes she was abducted by aliens. She’s one of those people who come across as sweet and caring, but complain and gossip behind your back. I work in close proximity to her and must interact with her daily. I can’t stand her, yet she relentlessly tries to “befriend� me regardless of how hard I try to make it clear I’m not interested.

Recently there was a fire in my home and our family was left with nothing. Miss “X� offered me her deceased mother’s dinner set. I felt awkward accepting it, but because she told me it made her feel good to spread parts of her mother around, I accepted. Now I regret accepting it because she thinks I’m indebted to her, and she makes my life miserable trying to engage me in mindless conversations during work. Abby, I thanked her for the dinner set at the time she gave it to me. How long do I have to pretend to like her? – Not Interested Dear Not Interested: You always have to be polite and considerate, because that’s common courtesy. A way to handle this would be for you to return the dinner set to Miss “X,� thanking her warmly for “lending� it to you in your time of need. (I assume you have the means to buy one now.) And when she tries to engage you in personal conversations, tell her kindly but firmly that you have a lot of work to do and no time to talk. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

NC city says presidential visit priceless ASHEVILLE (AP) – Business leaders in a North Carolina mountain city say a visit from the Obama family will bring plenty of good publicity. The Citizen-Times of Asheville reported Sunday that local officials say having the leader of the free world choose your city for vacation trumps millions in advertising dollars. The Obamas will arrive in Asheville on Friday and plan no public events. The family will spend the weekend at the Grove Park Inn. Asheville spends about $2.5 million a year to advertise as a tourist destination.

I

have learned that the direction our lives take depends so much on the everyday decisions we make. One such decision is wearing a seat belt. Almost every day you get into a vehicle and make the simple decision to buckle or not buckle your seat belt. This decision, made with little thought, FIREHOUSE could CHAT have profound Lee conseKnight quences. ■■■I have viewed video clips in training exercises that showed the negative aspect of not buckling a seat belt. I won’t list the gruesome details, but I can assure you there is no good reason to leave your seat belt unbuckled. It’s hard to explain how violent forces are during a vehicle accident and how easily they propel unbuckled passengers from one end of the car to the other. Also, an unbuckled passenger in a car can be deadly. They can be thrown through the car like a rag doll, likely colliding with other passengers with such force they can cause serious injury and even death. Think about this the next time you make your kids wear seat belts but you decide to leave yours off. During the years we’ve been told of the importance of wearing seat belts. We understand how dangerous it can be to not take the few seconds required to buckle our seat belts, yet most of us are occasionally guilty of not using this simple life-saving feature. The positive aspect of buckling your seat belt are the other side of the coin. Although not guaranteed, chances of survival are increased when people are buckled in. Many have walked away from an accident with minor injuries, telling people how lucky they were. Maybe the reason that person walked away is because of wearing a seat belt. Unbuckled, the outcome could have been different. Every day we make many simple decisions that can have a tremendous affect on our lives. Seat belt use is just one of many. Don’t allow yourself to be convinced that there isn’t enough time or it’s not very far to drive. Take the time necessary to buckle your seat belt; those few extra seconds could very likely save your life. 24/7/365: You call; we respond.

Laxatives not as harmful as once thought

D

ear Dr. Donohue: Would you say something about laxatives? I suffer from constipation, and the only way I can deal with it is to take a laxative. I use three or four different ones, not all at the same time. I switch between them so I don’t get used to one. My wife says I’m asking for trouble. I’ll get the laxative habit, whatever that is. What is your opinion on laxatives? – R.S.

BLONDIE

What I am about to say is contentious to many doctors and nondoctors. I expect a spirited response. Constipation is a common complaint, especially among elderly people. Defining it is difficult. One criterion is having less than three stools a week. A daily bowel movement isn’t necessary for health. Another criterion is straining to evacuate hard stool regardless of the frequency of bowel movements. Older people face the prospects of constipation because they eat less fiber, are less physically active and drink smaller quantities of fluid. Adopting a diet with lots of fruits, vegetables and whole grains is one way to prevent constipation. Those foods are fiber sources. Fiber is the indigestible part of food that keeps stool soft because it retains water. Whole grains are grains that haven’t been refined. They keep their outer coat, bran. Caffeine is a stimulant of the digestive tract, and eating sets in motion reflex contractions of the intestine. Taking a walk after breakfast, when

you’ve had a high-fiber cereal, wholegrain bread and some caffeine or other fluid will work HEALTH in concert with that Dr. Paul reflex to Donohue evacuate the diges■■■ tive tract. Other natural remedies are eating six daily prunes or drinking 6 ounces of prune juice, and possibly yogurt. Laxatives have their place. The “deleterious” laxative habit is a doctrine most authorities have discarded. It’s the belief that laxative use makes the digestive tract lose its normal, propelling forces to pass along undigested food. That has never been proven. The colon doesn’t become a slave of laxatives. Laxatives don’t cause major health problems. Mineral oil can decrease the absorption of vitamins A, D, E and K.

Spinal fluid circulates through those ventricles and over the surface of the brain and spinal cord. Eventually, it is absorbed into the circulation. If there’s an obstruction to the flow of spinal fluid, water remains in the brain’s ventricles and distends them and the brain. The head expands. All of this is correctable by shunting the fluid out of the brain and into other body cavities, like the abdominal cavity. That prevents destruction of brain cells. If possible, the neurosurgeon corrects whatever is causing the fluid obstruction.

Dear Dr. Donohue: You’re probably too young to have seen children who had water on the brain. I don’t hear this spoken of anymore. Why? Has improved care during pregnancy caused it to disappear? I asked my daughter about this, and she told me to write to you. – B.K.

You have not destroyed any calories or any sugar. You’ve got the exact same amount you had before you added the water. If you mean you drink only 8 ounces of the diluted mix, you have cut the calories and sugar in half.

I’m too young? A million thanks. Hydrocephalus, water on the brain, hasn’t gone away. It still happens. About seven out of 10,000 newborns have it. The brain has hollow spaces called ventricles.

Dear Dr. Donohue: Since I am concerned about the number of calories and the grams of sugar in orange juice, I dilute it with water – 8 ounces of orange juice with 8 ounces of water. Does this change the calories and sugar content (and other nutrients) in the orange juice to half? – M.R.

DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475

Tackling a need

Former NFL standout, now a pastor, joins local charitable effort BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

D

erwin Gray, a former NFL defensive back and two-time Pro Bowler during the 1990s, wants to hit you hard – harder than you’ve ever been hit before – but he wants to hit you with his heart. Gray, who played five seasons with the Indianapolis Colts and one season with the Carolina Panthers, has given up tackling, having been out of the league for more than a decade now. These days, he makes more of an impact with his words than his shoulder pads, spreading the message of Christianity to anyone who will listen. “Everything in life is a platform to magnify Jesus, and my NFL career is a platform to do that,” says Gray, who lives in Charlotte, pastors a church and heads up One Heart At A Time, a ministry he founded with his wife, Vicki. (He has also written a book, “Hero:

’Football was my way out. Because I wasn’t a Christian, I had to worship something, so for me football was my god.’ Derwin Gray Pastor, former football player Unleashing God’s Power In A Man’s Heart.”) Saturday evening, Gray will speak at Trinity High School, in conjunction with Feed the Need, a multi-church outreach effort taking place in the ArchdaleTrinity community. Gray, 39, says football helped him escape the environment he grew up in – a world of drugs, alcohol and poverty – but still left him feeling empty. “Football was my way out,” says Gray, who played collegiately at Brigham Young University. “Because I wasn’t a Christian, I had to worship something, so for me football was my god. But no matter how successful I got, my fame and success and money could not give me the power to forgive my father, could not give me the power to love my wife, and could not help me escape the reality that one day I wouldn’t be able to play football anymore, and who would I be then?” Inspired by a Christian teammate in Indianapo-

lis, Gray accepted Christ in 1997, then retired from the NFL in 1998 – a deciGray sion made easier by his newfound faith, he says. “I wasn’t losing my identity,” Gray explains. “My identity was not Derwin Gray, football player. It was Derwin Gray, son of God, loved by God.” The following year, he and Vicki established One Heart At A Time, through which he has become a highly soughtafter Christian speaker, even speaking at major events sponsored by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. That’s ironic, Gray says, considering he grew up a compulsive stutterer – an embarrassing trait he says God has delivered him from. “I laugh about it all the time,” he says. “Every time I hear a compliment about how well I speak, I have to say, ‘Guys, I’m not trying to be overly spiritual here, but this is a miracle of God, because I used to be terrified to speak.’ Even now, before I get up to speak, a lot of times I can still hear the jokes and hear the kids laughing at me. But I use that as a positive to press me more into Christ, and that empowers my speaking even more.” It was at one of Gray’s speaking engagements – at a youth camp during the summer of 2008 – that Jeff Foster, a youth leader at Faith Baptist Church, felt challenged by Gray’s message to go back to his community and do something that would make an impact for Christ. That challenge led Foster to found Feed the Need, which debuted last spring. Derwin Gray, a two-time Pro Bowl selection “Derwin really opened season for the Carolina Panthers. my eyes and gave me a wake-up call about making a difference in our community,” Foster says. “We’re feeding the need Feed the Need, a multi-church outmaterially, physically reach project in the Archdale-Trinity and spiritually.

HIGH TRUMP South easily makes his game if he handles the trump suit carefully. On the first trump he must play low from dummy. East wins and returns a club, and South ruffs and takes the ace of trumps. When both defenders follow suit, South starts the diamonds, ignoring the missing high trump. The defenders can’t stop him from ruffing his fourth diamond in dummy to assure the contract. This week: managing your trump suit.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S Q 10 H K Q 9 D J 10 8 3 C A J 9 4. You open one club, your partner responds one spade, you bid 1NT and he raises to 2NT. The opponents pass. What do you say? ANSWER: This hand contains 13 high-card points and therefore is nearer to minimum strength. Nevertheless, the hand is stronger because the intermediate spot cards are impressive. You have two tens and two nines, all of which may be helpful at notrump. To bid 3NT is clear. South dealer N-S vulnerable

A positive attitude will influence the outcome of a conversation, changing your current direction. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t be fooled into thinking you have more or are getting more from someone when you are not. Comb through all the information you can before you agree to a deal that will affect your future finances, location or responsibilities. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It will be difficult for the people you deal with to figure out what you really want. Your opinion will be in a state of flux, causing you to send mixed signals. Emotional instability can send the wrong impression. Do as much as you can on your own. ★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may feel limited or restricted due to unexpected responsibilities. Learn what you can from someone who may need your help but can offer you valuable information. Your sympathetic nature will ensure you get the response and help required. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Set things up to meet your needs but be willing to make adjustments to accommodate others. Arguments will slow you down, so mind your own business and work alone as much as possible. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The more upbeat you are, the more you will get in return. Travel or gathering information that will help you make some changes to your life will motivate you to move a little faster. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may feel limited by the people around you. Take your time, listen and observe. Money owed or loaned will cause a problem. Setting up a budget will help avoid a falling out that could be irreversible. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Fixing up your place or addressing money matters will help you feel better about the future. Love and romance are in the stars. An interesting plan will help you and the person you love do better financially, emotionally and professionally. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You should do everything you can to free up your cash or solve a legal, financial or personal problem. Deal with an unexpected change at home quickly if you don’t want to suffer a loss. Avoid disputes. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Make changes while you incorporate some of your old ideas into your current plans. Take care of home, family and the ones you love and you will be the one everyone looks up to and admires. A long term investment will stabilize your personal and financial situation. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Stick close to home and avoid anyone looking for an argument. Don’t let a last-minute change cause uncertainty. Continue to follow through with your plans, no matter what. Someone may not be completely honest with you. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t let your emotions lead you in the wrong direction. An unexpected change should send you a red flag about whether or not to trust a situation or person you are dealing with. A past experience should help you see a situation you face with greater clarity. ★★

BRIDGE Cy the Cynic, who hates giving money to the government, says that nothing is more permanent than a “temporary” tax. He may be right; still, I never expect to see declarers stop mishandling trumps. In today’s deal, East took the ace of clubs and returned a club. South won, led a trump to dummy’s ace and returned a trump, and East took the queen and hastily cashed the king. East next led a third club. South ruffed, took the A-K of spades and ruffed a spade with his last trump. He cashed his three top diamonds, but East’s jack won the 13th trick. Down one.

HOROSCOPE

distributor Lionsgate reported its movie debuting at $19.75 million. With just $250,000 separating them, either movie could end up at No. 1 when studios release final weekend numbers today. Finishing first at the box office is a valuable marketing tool, with the winning studio able to declare its movie No. 1 in advertisements through the following weekend.

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

Baseball family reunion T

he initial greeting was quick, a mere formality so the father could get to the really important stuff. “You changed your stance,” he commented. The son picked up a bat in the dugout and displayed the differences his dad had observed from the seats during batting practice. The 57year-old man with a baseball tan and still-bulging forearms nodded his approval. “Whatever’s comfortable. To be a good hitter, you’ve SPORTS got to be relaxed and comfortable at Steve home plate. I used Hanf a lot of different ■■■ stances, too.” In this case, there’s no doubt father knows best. Jim Gantner enjoyed a 17-year career with the Milwaukee Brewers, playing second or third base alongside team legends Robin Yount and Paul Molitor while becoming a hometown hero and legendary figure himself. The native of Fond du Lac, Wis., played 1,801 games for the Brewers – third-most in team history – and recorded 1,696 hits on the way to a .274 career batting average. Gantner throws right-handed and bats left, just like his youngest son. Matt Gantner is an outfielder for High Point University who entered this spring with a career batting average in the .270s, but thanks to a breakout senior season, that mark now tops .300. The younger Gantner stands 6-foot-2, 210 pounds after putting in serious time in the weight room since the arrival of secondyear head coach Craig Cozart. All five of his career home runs have come this season, and he’s hitting in the .380s. Matt Gantner inherited some good baseball genes, no doubt – “He makes me look small now,” Dad said with a chuckle – but he also has a great baseball brain to pick. “When you’ve got a guy who played 17 years in the big leagues, he knows a lot of the tricks and the adjustments you have to make,” Matt said. “It’s obviously a luxury to have him only a phone call away to talk to about anything baseball-wise.” The benefits of growing up as the son of Jim Gantner far outweighed any negatives for Matt and his older brother, Mark. The kids played catch on the field and batted in the cages outside the

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

High Point senior outfielder Matt Gantner (left) and his father Jim, who played 17 seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers, enjoyed a family reunion this weekend at Williard Stadium. clubhouse of old County Stadium. One of Matt’s fondest memories involved being in a Home Run Derby at Fenway Park, taking on the Green Monster. “God, I loved watching the kids play,” Jim said. As one might expect, there was pressure on Mark – who played one year of college baseball in Minnesota – and Matt to excel, to prove themselves, all the way back to Little League. “Once they saw I played the game right, that I played the game hard ...” Matt remarked. “And I had enough talent to keep them quiet.” For his part, Matt certainly planned on taking that talent and dedication as far as it would carry him. The game never was forced on him. “He always loved playing when he was a kid,” Jim said. “He just had it in his heart. You could tell it from the beginning that he loved playing baseball.” Matt Gantner’s college choice came about in an unusual way. In looking for a way to play more frequently than Wisconsin’s short springs would allow, he moved in with his older sister, Jamie. That explains how Matt

graduated right down the road at Charlotte Christian. As for picking High Point, it certainly helped that former Panthers coach Sal Bando Jr. was a known quantity after his father spent the last five years of his career with the Brewers. Remarkably, the Panther roster now also boasts freshman pitcher Wes Torrez, whose father Mike pitched 18 years in the majors and faced Jim Gantner. Matt appeared in 45 games his freshman year before an injury limited his sophomore campaign to six starts. In 2008, he batted .294 in 32 games before taking a redshirt year last season. By the time this season ends, Matt could lead the team in batting average, hits, doubles and RBIs. Jim got to watch the Panthers’ weekend series against Radford and also will catch Tuesday’s game against North Carolina A&T before flying home. He still works for the team in various capacities, hitting ground balls and taking throws on the infield with bench coach Willie Randolph at every home game, working with players during spring training. “I like putting the uniform on yet,” Jim said.

Chimed in Matt: “Keeps him young!” Jim also went to the draft last June and served as one of the Brewers’ officials relaying picks from the front office to the MLB officials calling out players’ names. Last year, Jim said he joked with his wife, Sue, that “the No. 1 pick for the Milwaukee Brewers is Matt Gantner,” he said with a laugh. This June, there’s little doubt some team will come calling. “Right now I’m just worried about this season, trying to help our team win, and if I keep playing well, hopefully I can get picked up in the draft in June,” Matt said. Then Matt Gantner can continue his career in the minor leagues and hear all the same questions again: Are you related to Jim Gantner? “Definitely around here, he’s not as well-known. In Wisconsin everybody knows who he is,” Matt said. “So it’s changed a little bit, but it was cool to have a dad who played that long and worked that hard to get where he was.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

NASCAR doubleheader postponed by rain “It is disappointing not to race, FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) – For all the but this happens now and then,” talk about green-white-checkered finishes in said Ryan Newman, who starts NASCAR this season, the Sprint Cup and Na10th a week after winning at tionwide races can’t even get started in rainy Phoenix International to break Texas. a 77-race winless streak. “I think Persistent wet weather Sunday forced the we are going to be good (today). postponement of a Sprint Cup and Nationwide Newman We just have to live with it. It is doubleheader until today. part of racing.” The Sprint Cup race was called Sunday Rain on Saturday wiped out the Nationwide about 75 minutes after its scheduled 3:16 p.m. EDT start because of persistent drizzle and race then. It had been rescheduled for Sunday the forecast for misty conditions until late in night after the Cup race and will now be run the evening. The Cup race was rescheduled at approximately 5 p.m. EDT today (ESPN2). for noon EDT today (WGHP, Ch. 8). About 21⁄2 inches of rain fell at the track Sat-

urday and Sunday. The forecast today calls for cloudy skies with only a minimal chance of rain. When the races were called, there was still a light mist in the area and it would have been futile to try to dry the track until that stopped. Under ideal conditions, it would take about 21⁄2 hours to dry the 11⁄2-mile, high-banked track. But with cloudy skies, temperatures in the 50s and high humidity, the process could have taken significantly longer. If both races are run today, which is likely, that means 15 drivers face the potential of 801 miles behind the wheel – 501 miles in the Cup race and 300 more in the Nationwide race.

ur old buddy San Quentin Quayle called (collect) and offered a rare outof-prep-football-season prediction. “This year’s PGA Tour stop at Quail Hollow is gonna be a major hit,” Quayle offered. With apologies to old Quenty, that’s a no-brainer. The Quail Hollow Championship begins April 29 at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte with a stellar, five-star field worthy of a major.

Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, No. 1 and No. 2 in the world rankings, have committed to play, as have No. 4 Lee Westwood, No. 6 Jim Furyk and No. 10 Padraig Harrington. Other big-name players confirmed to compete include Retief Goosen, Hunter Mahan, Kenny Perry and defending champion Sean O’Hair. And look for several more top-drawer performers to add their names to the tourna-

ment mix before the April 23 deadline. It’s no wonder tickets are selling briskly and event organizers predict sellouts for the weekend and perhaps all four rounds. For the record, Quayle did not predict a winner at Quail Hollow. He’s resting up for the rigors of the high school football season.

Sergio Martinez dominated the final five rounds Saturday night, winning a bloody and impressive unanimous decision over Kelly Pavlik to claim the WBO and WBC middleweight championships. Martinez (45-2-2) moved up to 160 pounds to challenge Pavlik, who had never been defeated at his natural weight. But the junior middleweight champ put on marvelous display of speed and footwork, battering and frustrating the pride of Youngstown, Ohio. When the final bell sounded, Martinez ran for the corner and leaped onto the ropes in victory. Pavlik solemnly raised his own arm, his face awash in blood – just as it been at the end of every round after the eighth. Roberto Ramirez scored it 116-111, Barbara Perez had it 115111 and Craig Metcalfe had it 115-112, all for Martinez. The Associated Press scored it 115-112.

Davis’ penalty lifts Furyk THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – Brian Davis called a two-stroke penalty on himself on the first playoff hole Sunday to give Jim Furyk a victory at the Verizon Heritage. Davis, an Englishman who has never won on the PGA Tour, birdied the 72nd hole to force the extra hole. However, Davis’ approach rolled off the green of the lighthouse hole and into some rocks. As Davis attempted to chip on, his wedge moved a loose reed in the marshy area. Davis quickly called for a rules official, who after calling colleagues to check the replay, confirmed the penalty. Davis conceded to Furyk before the world’s sixthranked player putted out. Furyk shot a 2-under 69 to finish at 13-under 271. He earned $1,026,000 for his second victory of the season and 15th overall on the PGA Tour. Davis closed with a 68.

LANGER REIGNS IN RAIN LUTZ, Fla. – Bernhard Langer won the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am when the final round was rained out at TPC Tampa Bay. Langer, the German star who won the Allianz Championship in February in Boca Raton, opened with rounds of 67 and 66 to finish at 9-under 133. He has 10 Champions Tour victories in 51 career starts. Mark O’Meara and Mike Reid tied for second, a stroke back. Fred Couples, trying to match the tour record for victories in consecutive starts of four set by Chi Chi Rodriguez in 1987, finished 12th at 4 under.

YANG BAGS CHINA OPEN SUZHOU, China – South Korea’s Y.E. Yang won the China Open, shooting a 1-under 71 for a twostroke victory over Welshmen Rhys Davies and Stephen Dodd. Yang, eighth last week at the Masters, made his only bogey of the weekend on Jinji Lake’s tough 18th hole, leaving him with a 15-under 273 total. Davies closed with a 67, and Dodd shot a 69.

Orlando’s Dwight Howard (right) blocks a shot by Charlotte’s Raymond Felton (20) during the first half of Game 1 of their first-round playoff series on Sunday in Orlando.

Nelson, Magic hold off Bobcats ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – Jameer Nelson scored 24 of his 32 points in the first half, and the Orlando Magic nearly blew a 22-point lead before beating the Charlotte Bobcats 98-89 in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series Sunday. Rashard Lewis added 19 points, and Dwight Howard had nine blocks but was limited offensively and in foul trouble for most of the second

half. Gerald Wallace had 25 points, and Stephen Jackson played through a hyperextended left knee to finish with 18 points in the Bobcats’ first playoff game in franchise history. Game 2 in the best-of-seven series is Wednesday night in Orlando. Charlotte swarmed and slapped Howard on every opportunity near the rim to frustrate the Magic’s AllStar center. Howard had five points

and seven rebounds, and was 1 for 6 on free throws. Wallace’s free throws trimmed Orlando’s lead to 85-80 late in the fourth, and had the Bobcats on the brink of a stunning upset. Howard then returned with a putback dunk, Mickael Pietrus had a 3-pointer and the Magic eventually went ahead 92-84 to put the game out of reach.

Wake women repeat as ACC champions SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

GREENSBORO – Wake Forest claimed its fifth ACC Women’s Golf Championship in dramatic fashion with a four-stroke victory over Virginia at the 2010 ACC Women’s Golf Championship at Sedgefield Country Club (Par 71, 6,355 yards). The Demon Deacons shot 869 to edge the Cavaliers. The title was the second in a row for Wake Forest after winning last year at Sedgefield Country Club. The Deacons also won back to back titles in 1994 and 1995. The individual race was close with Wake Forest freshman Michelle Shin (Cape Coral, Fla.) capturing medalist honors with a two-under-par 211. Shin is the first freshman to win the individual honor since Duke’s Amanda Blumenherst captured the title in 2006. The Demon Deacons started the final round with a 15-shot lead,

but Duke and Virginia fought back to even the score at one point during the tournament before the Deacons pulled away with the victory. Virginia was led by freshman Brittany Altomare (Shrewsbury, Mass.) and junior Calle Nielson (Nashville, Tenn.) who tied for second with a one-underpar 212 scores. Duke finished in third place with an 874 score and was led by two freshmen in Lindy Duncan (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) and Stacey Kim (Columbus, Ga.), who tied for fourth with a three-over-par 216. Florida State finished fourth at 901. North Carolina senior Kate Thomas (Murwillumbah, Australia) led her team to a fifth-place finish (906) and individually had a five-over-par 218. Maryland finished in sixth place (915). N.C. State, Miami and Boston College finished seventh, eighth and ninth, respectively.

Mike Edwards won the Pro Stock final. Edwards had a 6.751-second pass at 205.51 mph to edge Greg Stanfield.

Hunter-Reay notches second career IRL win

Button captures Chinese Grand Prix SHANGHAI (AP) – Jenson Button gambled on tire strategy to win the Chinese Grand Prix on Sunday, beating teammate Lewis Hamilton to give McLaren a 1-2 finish. Button, the reigning world champion, vaulted to the top of the Formula One standings by employing some cool-headed decision making amid the chaos of changing weather that forced most drivers to pit at least four times. Button made only two stops.

Rain began to fall just before the race started, yet all the cars started on dry-weather tires. A dampening track soon forced a critical decision. Many of the leaders elected to change to wet-weather tires after a couple of laps, while Button, and third-place finisher Nico Rosberg stayed out on dry-weather tires. Drivers who had changed to wetweather treads soon found their rubber wearing quickly and after three or four more laps, returned

to the pits to change back. That allowed Button, Rosberg and Renault’s Robert Kubica to dash to the front. Renault’s Robert Kubica finished fifth and teammate Vitaly Petrov earned his first F1 points by taking seventh. After four races this season, Button leads the drivers’ standings with 60 points, ahead of Rosberg’s 50. Hamilton and Alonso are tied for third with 49 points.

LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) – Ryan HunterReay took advantage of an early mistake by Will Power and was never really challenged, cruising to his second career Indy Racing League title at the Grand Prix of Long Beach on Sunday. Hunter-Reay started second and took the lead on the 18th lap when Power, the pole sitter, slowed and had to pull to the outside.

A part-time driver for Andretti Autosport, Hunter-Reay lost the lead after his two pit stops, but quickly regained it both times on the 11-turn, 1.968-mile temporary street course through downtown Long Beach. Justin Wilson finished second, despite a collision with Alex Lloyd on Lap 53, Power ended up third and Scott Dixon was fourth.

Fee-weary air travelers get a break for now ATLANTA (AP) – U.S. airlines never met a fee they didn’t like. Until now, it seems. Five major carriers on Sunday agreed not to follow the lead of a small Florida airline that plans to charge for carryon bags. Their commitment comes just in time to keep travelers from running for the exits during the peak summer flying season, but it is doubtful that it marks a change in strategy. Airlines are going to tack on every fee they feel they can get away with because it bolsters their revenue stream while allowing them to keep base fares lower. They just don’t feel like passengers will tolerate losing their sacred free carryons – at least not right now. The promise to New York Sen. Charles Schumer from American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, US Airways and JetBlue Airways comes despite the fact that some of those same airlines are expected to report first-quarter losses next week. They were stung by higher fuel prices and the heavy February snowstorms. Ancillary fees for air travel – including baggage fees, reservation change fees and other miscellaneous operating revenue – have been piling up.

Passengers wait to check in at Logan International Airport in Boston. Five major airlines have agreed not to follow Spirit Airlines in instituting fees for carry-on luggage, and New York Sen. Charles Schumer said he was hopeful other carriers would follow suit. For U.S. carriers they totaled $1.95 billion in the third quarter of 2009, roughly 36 percent higher than for the same period a year earlier. For 26 large U.S. airlines, those fees made up 6.9 percent of their total operating revenue in the third quarter of last year, according to the

most recent government data available. But major carriers risk alienating customers if they follow Spirit Airlines’ lead and impose a fee on carryon bags. In August, Spirit will begin charging customers up to $45 to place a bag in an overhead bin.

Other fees haven’t stopped people from flying, but many can be avoided. Carryon bag fees would be hard to avoid. “We believe it is something that’s important to our customers and they value, and we will continue making that

available to them at no charge,” American Airlines spokesman Roger Frizzell said. It wasn’t clear how long the five airlines had pledged not to charge for carryons. Frizzell couldn’t say, and a spokesman for Delta declined to comment.

Goldman Sachs faces questions in Europe LONDON (AP) – Goldman Sachs is facing a potential backlash in Europe over the fraud case brought against it in the United States, with Britain’s Prime Minister Gordon Brown calling for authorities there to investigate and accusing the investment bank of “moral bankruptcy.” Germany also said it would ask for detailed information about the case. Both governments had to bail out banks that lost hundreds of millions of dollars on investments marketed by Goldman, according to the fraud suit brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, in Britain’s case Royal Bank of Scotland

through its acquisition of parts of ABN Amro. The SEC said the Royal Bank of Scotland paid Goldman $841 million to unwind ABN Amro transactions. Royal Bank of Scotland is now 84 percent owned by British taxpayers after being partly nationalized by the government. Germany’s IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG, an early victim of the credit crunch, lost nearly all its $150 million investment, the SEC said. Brown on Sunday called for a full inquiry by Britain’s Financial Services Authority in conjunction with the SEC. Britain would join Germany, where government officials said they would seek information about the bank’s activities.

Brown, currently facing a tough re-election battle, seemed additionally angry at Goldman Sachs’ plan to pay 3.5 billion pounds ($5.4 billion) in bonuses as reported in British newspapers. “I am shocked at this moral bankruptcy,” he said on BBC TV. “This is probably one of the worst cases that we have seen.” Brown called for a “new global constitution for the banking system” that would, among other things, ban bonus packages like the ones planned by Goldman Sachs. The U.S. charges against Goldman Sachs relate to a complex investment tied to the performance of pools of risky mortgages. In a complaint filed Friday, the Securities

and Exchange Commission alleged that Goldman marketed the package to investors without disclosing that the pools were picked by another client that wanted to bet the U.S. housing bubble would burst. Within months, most of the mortgages had been downgraded as the U.S. housing boom went into reverse and the securities fell sharply in value. The company denies it did anything wrong, saying investor losses came from the deterioration of the whole sector, not regarding which securities were in the pool. Goldman Sachs already is facing an EU investigation into a 2002 swap deal it carried out with Greece that may have helped hide the extent of the country’s financial troubles.

Experts: Friday loss won’t stop stock market’s momentum NEW YORK (AP) – Goldman Sachs & Co. reminded investors that the stock market still can go down. The government charged the bank with civil fraud Friday, and the Dow Jones industrial average fell 126 points, its biggest slide in more than two and a half months. The Goldman Sachs news gave a dose of reality to investors who were used to seeing the market climb almost relentlessly on signs of a recovering economy. But there are signs investors are already shaking off the Securities and Exchange Commission’s charges that Goldman Sachs failed to tell clients about conflicts of dilbert

interest in mortgage investments it sold. Stocks ended off their lows Friday. That’s a sign that investors are still making predictions that stocks will bounce higher. “They’ve been conditioned to buy the dips, and they’ve been rewarded. It’s like a Pavlovian thing,” said Alec Young, equity strategist at Standard & Poor’s. “The road is littered with the bodies of people that have predicted a pullback in the last couple of months.” It’s easy to see from recent news why stocks are trekking steadily higher. Big companies like chipmaker Intel Corp. and financial firm JPMorgan Chase & Co. last

week posted huge profit gains for the first three months of the year. The government reported that employers added jobs in March at the fastest rate in three years. The problem is that stocks haven’t had a break, making the market more vulnerable to a big drop. By one measure of the market, stocks are overheated. Yale professor Robert Shiller compares share prices of S&P 500 companies to their average earnings over 10 years. Based on data going back more than 100 years, stock prices are about 51 percent overvalued, he said. He cautioned that doesn’t mean a crash is due but that stocks are above their norms.

Senator: Rework bank reform WASHINGTON (AP) – The Republican leader in the Senate says President Barack Obama is trying to “politicize” financial reform. Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky says senators ought to go back to the drawing board and try to fix the bill. That’s similar to the GOP message about Obama’s health care legislation as it headed for Senate passage. Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia disagrees and says McConnell and other Republicans should offer specifics, not just “broad-brush critiques.” Obama used his media address this weekend to criticize McConnell for opposing a bill Obama contends would help prevent another financial meltdown. Republicans say the bill would make more bailouts possible. The senators spoke Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Dish to carry Epix movie channel NEW YORK (AP) – Dish Network subscribers will have available to them some of the latest movies from three major Hollywood studios when Epix becomes one of their channel choices this month. Epix, the pay TV channel owned by Viacom Inc.’s Paramount Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. and Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., said Monday it has signed a distribution deal with Dish, which will make its movies and other content available to the satellite service’s 14 million customers. The channel, Epix Premium HD, will begin broadcasting on Dish this month. Details of the deal were not disclosed. Epix offerings include new movies and the catalog of 15,000 films from the studios, original programming and special comedy and concert events offered in high definition and standard formats. Epix formed in 2008 and has also reached distribution deals with cable providers Charter Communications Inc., Verizon Communications Inc.’s FiOS, Mediacom Communications Corp., and Cox Communications Inc.

Energy ministers seek to stabilize gas prices ORAN, Algeria (AP) – Oil and energy ministers from the countries that produce most of the world’s natural gas are gathering Sunday to seek ways to boost and stabilize export prices. Several ministers from gas-producing giants, in-

cluding Qatar and Russia, say they want to stabilize gas prices at a level that can sustain long-term investment and output. Algeria’s minister for energy, Chakib Khelil, the host of the Forum of Gas Exporting Countries, said prices need to be bet-

ter managed. He is a longtime advocate of creating an OPEC-like cartel for gas producers. But, apparently backtracking from statements to Algerian media in recent weeks, Khelil said gas production quotas aren’t an option.

Solo trans-Atlantic rower coped with iPods, candy CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio (AP) – An Ohio woman who became youngest person to row across the Atlantic Ocean alone says she got through the journey with four iPods, 300 chocolate bars and 100 audiobooks. Katie Spotz spent more than two months alone at sea before completing her feat in March. The 22-year-old athlete spoke about the adventure at a welcome-home party Saturday in suburban Cleveland.

Gas drilling debate rages in Delaware River watershed PLEASANT MOUNT, Pa. (AP) – A few hundred yards from Louis Matoushek’s farmhouse is a well that could soon produce not only natural gas, but a drilling boom in the Delaware River watershed. Energy companies have leased thousands of acres of land in Pennsylvania’s unspoiled northeastern tip, hoping to tap vast stores of gas in a sprawling rock formation

– the Marcellus shale – that some experts believe could become the nation’s most productive gas field. Plenty of folks like Matoushek are eager for the gas, and the royalty checks, to start flowing. “It’s a depressed area,” Matoushek said. “This is going to mean new jobs, real jobs, not government jobs.” Standing in the way is a loose coalition of sporting groups, conser-

NASA: Rain delays likely for return CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (AP) – NASA warned space shuttle Discovery’s astronauts Sunday to expect rain delays as they wrapped up their two-week mission and got ready to come home. Discovery and its crew of seven were scheduled to land this morning at

NASA’s Florida spaceport. Shuttle commander Alan Poindexter said Sunday he enjoys spending extra time in orbit and doesn’t mind if Discovery can’t make it back to Earth until Tuesday. Mission Control promised to keep monitoring the weather in case the forecast improved.

vationists and anti-drilling neighbors. They contend that large-scale gas exploration so close to crucial waterways will threaten drinking water, ruin a renowned wild trout fishery, wreck property values, and transform a rural area popular with tourists into an industrial zone. Both sides are furiously lobbying the Delaware River Basin Commission.

Spotz says her training included more than 100 hours meditating to help cope with the loneliness of rowing for 10 hours a day. She said the hardest part was sleeping in cramped quarters and battling sleep deprivation. She split the rowing into twohour shifts and spent time sending e-mails and Twitter messages. Spotz, from Mentor, set out from Dakar, Senegal, on Jan. 3 and finished March 14 in Georgetown, Guyana.

Pediatrician was subject of complaint in 1996 LEWES, Del. (AP) – A Delaware hospital has revealed it investigated a 1996 complaint against a pediatrician now accused of molesting more than 100 patients, but the doctor was cleared of any wrongdoing. A nurse reported in 1996 that Dr. Earl Bradley may have inappropriately touched young girls in his care.

Officials at Beebe Medical Center said after Bradley’s December arrest that they were not aware of any past problems with him. They have since acknowledged that Bradley was investigated by Milford police in 2005, but no charges were filed. Officials said in a statement that they were revealing the 1996 complaint now because they

could do so “without jeopardizing the criminal case.” Police and prosecutors found out about the 1996 investigation after they charged him in December. Bradley faces 471 criminal counts including rape, sexual exploitation of a child and continuous sexual abuse of a child.
