Resolution says issue will be ‘consideration’ for hiring city manager BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – An important consideration in the next hiring of a city manager will be residency, but living within the city limits of Thomasville will not be an absolute requirement, according to a resolution approved by the Thomasville City Council Monday night. Following The High Point Enterprise’s three-part series concerning the city of Thomasville’s residency

Councilman David Yemm voted against the policy change. policy for department officials published earlier this month, the City Council voted 6-1 to approve the resolution during the governing body’s regular monthly meeting. Councilman David Yemm voted against the policy change. “It’s kind of a compromise,” City Attorney Paul Mitchell said of the resolution. “We have a couple who want it to be an ironclad requirement. Then we probably have a majority who feel strongly that it’s a good thing – good enough to be a preference.” The resolution, which will be included in the city’s personnel manual, doesn’t mandate the next city manager live in the city limits, but says it will be “an important consideration” among the criteria in the selection process. “The City Council finds that it is preferable that the city manager reside within the city limits of Thomasville for a number of reasons,” the resolution reads. “... The council recognizes that its primary duty is to insure the best possible services to be provided to the citizens of Thomasville, and that sometimes there may be a compelling reason to select a manager who does not reside in Thomasville, and whose qualifications are superior to other applicants for the position.” The City Council had been discussing a proposed policy that would require all department heads to live within the city.

Perdue touts furniture industry’s future BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – It was clear to Gov. Beverly Perdue when she visited the High Point Market on Monday that furniture manufacturing jobs can still thrive in North Carolina. The first-term Democratic governor toured the showroom and factory of Thayer Coggin, a furniture manufacturer on South Road in High Point, and spoke with market attendees and workers at the company. The late Thayer Coggin opened the business in 1953 after learning to build furniture in a high school shop class. His wife, Dot Coggin, and daughter, Royale Wiggin, now run the business, which has more than 40 employees in its office and factory. “This is one of High Point’s stars,” Perdue told the press on Monday. “I specifically wanted to see a brand like Thayer Coggin.

Coble has huge money lead BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

New birthday! It has been 25 years since The High Point Enterprise celebrated its centennial in January 1985. The Enterprise will be celebrating its birthday in May, rather than January, this year, however, because an Enterprise historian has discovered that the beginning date for the newspaper was different than indicated in stories in the 1935 and 1985 historical editions.

TRIAD – U.S. Rep. Howard Coble, R-6th, has nearly $500,000 available for the final stretch of his primary campaign as he seeks to hold onto his seat against five Republican challengers. Coble has $498,740 in cash on hand as of the end of March, according to a campaign finance report Coble through the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan campaign-monitoring group based in Washington. The closest challenger to Coble in fundraising is physician James Taylor of Moore County, who has raised $113,290. But 68 percent of Taylor’s money, or $77,000, is self-financed by the candidate, according to campaign finance records compiled by the center. Guilford County Commissioner

Billy Yow has raised $36,236, while Jeff Phillips of Greensboro has raised $5,343, according to the center. Cathy Brewer Hinson, a High Point furniture showroom manager, said she is close to the $5,000 threshold. “The economic environment is such that the citizens of the 6th District can’t fund campaigns like they used to, so what I have had to do is think ‘outside the box.’ We will just have to see if my creative marketing has worked after May 4,” Hinson said, referring to primary elections. Campaign finance information for Republican challenger Jon Mangin of Stokesdale wasn’t available. Congressional candidates aren’t required to declare funds if the total is less than $5,000.

maining funds are left over from previous campaigns. This is the first time since Coble initially ran for Congress in 1984 that he’s taken on primary opponents. Of the money Coble has raised since the first of 2009, 79 percent, or $188,665, has come through political action committees. The remainder comes from individual contributions and other sources, according to the center’s records. The level of fundraising can indicate the vitality of a campaign, though congressional races have been won on occasion by challengers with far less money than incumbents, said John Dinan, professor of political science at Wake Forest University. “For challengers, fundraising reports can be a way of demonstrating to folks a certain viability as a candidate. Or in a multiple candidate race, it can separate them from the pack as well,” Dinan said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Man who decapitated classmate gets life in prison RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – A former Virginia Tech graduate student who prosecutors said decapitated a classmate in a campus cafe because she rejected his romantic advances was sentenced to life in prison on Monday. Montgomery County Circuit Judge Robert Turk sentenced Haiyang Zhu to life without parole, said Commonwealth’s Attorney Brad Finch. Zhu pleaded guilty in December to first-degree murder in the death of fellow Chinese student Xin Yang. He admitted decapitating the 22-year-old as the pair had coffee at a campus eatery in January 2009. Zhu’s plea did not qualify for the death penalty under Virginia law.

Authorities ID drowning victims DAVIDSON COUNTY – Authorities on Monday identified a father and son who drowned in an accident in Davidson County over the weekend. Phothy Chanthahevang, 39, and Blu Chanthahevang, 14, both of Albemarle, were fishing in a small aluminum boat on the Yadkin River behind the High Rock dam at the Bringle Ferry Road Wildlife Access area when the boy dropped his rod and reel into the water and fell in while attempting to retrieve it around 5 p.m. Saturday, according to Davidson County Sheriff David Grice. The father jumped into the water to try to rescue his son. Neither were wearing personal floatation devices, Grice said.

A North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission officer reported that while he was checking fishing licenses on the bank, he heard someone yelling and observed the two in the water. Aware that the water current was strong, he called another wildlife resources officer who was fishing nearby to come assist. One of the officers reported that after they approached, a life vest was thrown to the father, but he didn’t grab it and went under. One of the officers dove into the water but could not locate the victim. Rescue workers located the son’s body about 6:25 p.m. and that of the father a short time later. Both were pronounced dead at the scene. Another son who was in the boat, 10year-old Vin Chanthahevang, was unharmed. The vehicle and the boat used

by the victims were taken to the Denton Police Department for safe keeping for the family. Observation of the boat and its contents revealed that no life jackets were available, according to Grice, who emphasized the legal requirement and necessity for everyone on a water craft to have available or to wear a personal floatation device, or life vest. Several rescue and EMS squads, as well as volunteer firefighters, responded to the scene, including the Davidson and Thomasville rescue squads, the Rowan Rescue Squad, the Healing Springs Fire Department Dive Team, the Thomasville Rescue Dive Team, Davidson sheriff’s deputies and wildlife resources officers. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Court appoints lawyers for man accused of killing state official RALEIGH (AP) – The suspect in the death of a North Carolina school board member has made his first appearance in court. Jason Keith Williford appeared briefly in a Wake County courtroom on Monday. The court appointed two lawyers to prepare his defense. The 30-year-old Raleigh man is charged with first-degree rape and murder in the death of 62year-old Kathy Taft. Taft, who was from Greenville, died three days after being found badly beaten at the home of a friend. Members of Taft’s family attended the court proceeding, but did not speak to the media. Williford is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on May 10. He is being held without bond. Calls to his lawyers were not immediately returned Monday.

RALEIGH (AP) – The man accused of killing a University of North Carolina student body president found shot to death in the middle of a street two years ago pleaded guilty Monday to federal crimes, avoiding the death penalty.

Prosecutors agreed to drop their plan to pursue the death penalty and Atwater agreed to a life sentence. Eve Carson, 22, of Athens, Ga., was found shot to death in the middle of a Chapel Hill street in March 2008. She had been shot five times, including once in the head with a 12-gauge shotgun. “While we deplore the evil and negligence that led to Eve’s death, we agree with the U.S. attorney’s decision to accept the plea agreement,� Carson’s parents said in a statement released by prosecutors Monday.

THOMASVILLE – The Thomasville City Council on Monday night agreed to mandate that all business owners purchase a permit to operate in the city. During its regular monthly meeting, the City Council voted 6-1 to implement the business privilege license program – a issue that had been discussed several times during the last two years. Councilman David Yemm voted against mandating permits. City officials have previously said business privilege license program was needed, so they could know what is going on inside of businesses, such as illegal or other harmful activity. Councilman Ronald Bratton said the city has no intentions to create revenue off the program. “I think it’s important that we know what businesses are doing,� he said. Yemm spoke against the ordinance before the City Council took action Monday night. “It’s too bad that the only solution considered

is to tax the 99 percent of legitimate business in order to protect the public from the 1 percent that may be engaged in illegal business activity,� he said. “In the same way that gun laws do not keep guns out of the hands of criminals, the business privilege license tax will not keep people from operating businesses illegally.� According to the ordinance, which becomes effective July 1, permits will not be issued until Oct. 1. Although permits will not be issued until October, annual fees for the year July 1, 2010, through June 30, 2011, will not be prorated. Depending on the type of business, fees range from $2.50 to $50, according to a fee schedule that accompanies the ordinance. Business owners will be required to purchase permits from the city on an annual basis. Accountants, architects, attorneys, banks, dentists, insurance agents, real estate agents, surgeons and veterinarians are some who are exempt from having to purchase permits.

Don’t be unfair to Thomasville department heads The department heads for the city of Thomasville did not start their employment in that position. Most of them started as a regular worker. They worked hard and took advantage of the opportunities that the city offered. Many of them worked all day and went to school at night and sometimes the whole week-end. They studied and took tests and waited for a chance to advance. Sometimes, it was years before they moved up to the next position. Being a resident of Thomasville did not qualify or disqualify them for advancement. I am sure we have a lot of hardworking personnel today who are doing the same thing. It would be a wrong decision to put in place a requirement saying in order to move up they would have to live inside the city limits. Some of them probably would have to uproot their family and go to the expense of moving only a few miles, in most cases with only a few years left until retirement. I am sure a lot of employers would feel like there was not any need to improve their qualifications. I also wonder if it would be that easy to find qualified personnel from other areas who would want to move here. Thomasville is well-run and maintained with nice parks and recreation for all ages.We have good streets and the grass is mowed and trimmed all over town. We have great fire and police departments.

Nuisance abatement tactic works

W

hen a judge recently ruled in favor of the city of High Point in a nuisance abatement lawsuit, the court reaffirmed an important tool for local police departments to use in protecting the public they serve. The legal action resulted in three Hobson Street residences being declared public nuisances, and the judge ordered the property to be forfeited by the owners, Fred and May Frazier of Linwood, to the Guilford County Schools. High Point police were able to show to the court that the houses at 228, 230 and 232 Hobson St. had been the scenes of more than 300 calls to police during the past five years related to shootings, assaults, fights, robberies and domestic disputes. They had become known throughout the community as drug houses where crack cocaine, heroin and other drugs were available. It’s no surprise that residents of the area were concerned about the crime and violence in their neighborhood and wanted city police help in cleaning up the area. And because of cases such as this one, it’s good police have this nuisance abatement tool in their arsenal. But it is a tactic that police and law enforcement officials must use sparingly and pretty much as a last resort in combating crime. We’re certainly partial to the rights of property owners and believe that they should be free of unreasonable actions of government at all levels. We also expect High Point’s city and law enforcement officials (actually, all public officials and law enforcement) to be diligent in respecting those rights, too. That is why it is no simple task for public officials and law enforcement to prove violations of nuisance abatement regulations. And that’s as it should be to protect the general public and the property owner at the same time.

now insurance companies will be held accountable and will not be able to deny care because of preexisting conditions. And lastly, the cost of medications for seniors is so unfair. We work all our lives and as soon as you retire – and you have earned it – we feel like we are garbage and nobody cares. If you’re retired or disabled, you are made to feel like we are no longer human. Insurance companies just care about making money. You work and pay into it, and they try to find ways not to pay what is owed to you. They spend more money investigating people that already have proven their disability over and over. The worst is when you become disabled; the average wait is three and a half years for Social Security disability. And you must hire a lawyer. My wife worked more than 35 years, and now she is being made to feel guilty because she is disabled. Can you imagine if I was not working when she became disabled, we would have been homeless!

There were a lot of pictures in the Enterprise regarding the tornado and rightfully so. However, you left out one that I wish was included. I reside at the Westchester Manor and the staff did a wonderful job taking care of each of us by moving each of us to a safe place away from the windows in our rooms. They worked quietly, quickly and cheerfully getting us to the halls for our safety. All of us felt safe and were so thankful for the care they gave us. In that safe way, they returned us to our rooms where we were relaxed. During this time, they were discussing a better way to remove us should a second tornado come. They deserve our praise and I’m thankful for each one of our staff. They deserve our thanks and praise. SYLVIA TATE High Point

N.C. Rep. Jerry Dockham wants to repeal the smoking ban that took effect in North Carolina on Jan. 2. In 30 words or less (no name, address required), e-mail us your thoughts to letterbox@ hpe. com. Here are three responses: • Admittedly, I have enjoyed not smelling cigarette smoke when I eat, but it should be left up to business owners to allow or not allow smoking. • You have to look at the big picture. Take one right away and then it gets easier. Eventually, one will step on your toe. • I believe if someone owns their own place of business, they should be able to have smoking or not.

OPINION

■■■

• Achieving a significant reduction in future traffic congestion alone would boost the state’s economy by nearly $1 billion a year. • Reallocating existing revenues to address the state’s highest priorities is a more realistic approach than trying to tax our way out of the problem, since North Carolina’s transportation-related taxes are already high by regional

standards. The conventional wisdom in Raleigh appears to be is that North Carolina needs to raise taxes and change the equity formula to steer more dollars to urban areas such as Charlotte, the Triad and the Triangle. This is not so much the wrong answer as it is the wrong phrasing of the question. If policymakers used current and projected traffic counts to allocate highway dollars, some counties would gain projects and some would lose them. But North Carolinians do not confine their driving within county lines. They travel from city to city, region to region – or, at least, the products they consume travel across the state in trucks. Most North Carolinians would benefit from highway projects that alleviate congestion and improve safety along highly traveled corridors, be they around the southern side of Wake County or a stretch of rural interstate in the foothills, sandhills or coastal plain. Tossing a bunch of money into a basket and watching immature politicians fight over it may be entertaining, but it’s not a transportation policy worthy of the name. Maybe some grownups will get involved at some point. JOHN HOOD is president of the John Locke Foundation and publisher of CarolinaJournal.com.

YOUR VIEW POLL

Transportation funds woes aren’t all about formula f North Carolina lawmakers continue to eye the state transportation budget like greedy kids spying a basket of candy, they’ll continue to grab and squabble. As former UNC-Charlotte professor Dave Hartgen observes in a new John Locke Foundation study, our policymakers need to look at the issue from a different perspective. Building transportation infrastructure is an investment activity. In rough proportion to their use of state roadways, motorists pay car and gas taxes into the system. State and local officials are charged with investing some of the money in adding valuable new capacity, saving the rest for maintaining the value of the existing capital stock. Unfortunately, so many hands touch this capital flow that it becomes diluted: • Transit boosters want to force nonriders to subsidize the trips of transit riders. • Governors want to do favors for their biggest supporters. • Legislators want to maximize the flow of funds into their districts. • The private firms that design, build, and supply raw materials for new projects want to maximize their revenues. • City and county officials want to move their local projects to the top of the list. Rather than focus on divvying up highway funds by region, Hartgen argues that North Carolina needs to focus on projects, wherever they are located, that promise the greatest bang for the buck in alleviating traffic congestion and improving safety. The need is pressing, because: • Roads of inadequate quality and capacity reduce the incomes of North Carolina residents by billions of dollars a year in lost time, lost fuel and vehicle repairs.

10 million roses ruined, 5K Kenya workers laid off

Europe resumes some flights

NAIROBI, Kenya – Daniel Oyier has been eating only once a day since an ash-belching volcano more than 5,000 miles away caused him to be laid off from his $4-a-day job packing red roses and white lilies for export to Paris and Amsterdam. Some 5,000 day laborers in Kenya have been without work since the ash cloud from Iceland shut down air traffic across Europe. “If this goes on for a week it will be really bad for us,� said Oyier, 23 at Nairobi’s international airport.

Despite volcano’s ash, officials agree to let traffic start again on limited basis

Hamas leader vows to snare more Israeli soldiers

LONDON (AP) – After five days in which nature brought the jet age to a halt, European officials agreed Monday to let air traffic resume on a limited basis, giving hope to millions of travelers around the world stranded by ash from a volcano in Iceland. Three KLM passenger planes left Schiphol airport in Amsterdam on Monday evening during daylight under visual flight rules bound for New York, Dubai and Shanghai. An Associated Press photographer saw one jet taking off into a colorful sunset, which weather officials said was pinker than normal due to the ash.

DAMASCUS, Syria – The leader of the Palestinian militant group Hamas has vowed to capture more Israeli soldiers to use in bargaining for the release of Palestinian prisoners. Khaled Mashaal accused Israel of obstructing a deal to trade Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit for hundreds of jailed militants. Gaza militants captured Schalit in a 2006 cross-border raid. A deal brokered by Egypt and Germany for his release had appeared close in November.

Haiti judge: No decision on missionaries PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – The Haitian judge investigating 10 American missionaries accused of kidnapping for trying to take a busload of children out of the country says no decision has been made on whether to drop any charges. Judge Bernard Saint-Vil tells The Associated Press that he is still considering the legal fates of detained group leader Laura Silsby and her nine freed compatriots. The office of U.S. Sen. Jim Risch of Idaho – home state of most of the missionaries – and the U.S. State Department said last week that the charges had been dropped against the nine freed Americans.

AIRLINE LOSSES ABOVE $1 BILLION PARIS – Airline losses from the volcanic ash cloud climbed above $1 billion Monday, and the industry demanded compensation from the European Union. Also a senior Western diplomat said that several NATO F-16 fighters had suffered engine damage.

Obama to eulogize West Virginia coal miners WASHINGTON – The White House says President Barack Obama will deliver a eulogy Sunday for the 29 miners killed in a West Virginia coal mine explosion. Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will attend a memorial service for the miners in Beckley, W.Va. The April 5 blast at the Upper Big Branch mine was the nation’s worst coal mine disaster since 1970. Obama has ordered a sweeping review of mine safety records and called for stronger mining laws.

US military operation in Haiti draws to close WASHINGTON – The U.S. military mobilization in support of Haitian earthquake relief and recovery efforts is winding down and will be concluded for the most part by June 1. U.S. Southern Command chief Lt. Gen. Ken Keen says there are about 2,200 American troops still there, compared to 22,000 at the peak of the U.S. effort. And he says that by June, only about 500 National Guard and Reserve personnel will be stationed in Haiti to help aid workers.

The attack happened about 4:30 p.m. outside the hospital’s discharge area. Police are still trying to determine a motive but don’t believe the shooter worked at the hospital, Owen said. The names of the victims and suspect weren’t released by police because the families haven’t yet been notified.

The Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center sits partially obscured by fog Monday in Cape Canaveral, Fla. NASA managers waived off the first landing opportunity for the space shuttle Discovery due to rain and low clouds in the area.

“The folks really worked it hard down here. There was a lot of cause for optimism ... but in the end of the day� the clouds remained too low and too thick, Mission Control radioed. “We appreciate everything you’ve done,� replied shuttle commander Alan Poindexter, “and we’ll be hopeful for better weather tomorrow.� He urged flight controllers to get some rest. Clearer skies are expected over Kennedy Space Center today. If the clouds linger, however, NASA will try for the backup landing site in Southern California. The first landing opportunity is at 7:34 a.m., shortly after sunrise in Florida. Discovery and its seven astronauts can remain in orbit until Wednesday.

Council OKs housing loan

WHO’S NEWS

----

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A divided City Council gave its blessing Monday to helping finance a proposed low-income housing development for elderly residents in north High Point. By a 5-4 vote, the council approved a $500,000 city loan to Wynnefield Properties of Jamestown, which plans to construct a 56-unit, three-story complex on about 2 acres at Admiral Drive and Samet Drive. The developer said $500,000 was the minimum amount necessary to secure tax credit equity through the state and other funding sources for the $5.53 million project. The terms of the loan – a 2 percent interest rate amortized over 20 years – also are required for the financing, according to Craig Stone, president of Wynnefield Properties. The loan will come from federal housing funds the city received last year. City leaders said it will fill a need for low- to moderate-income housing among those age 55 and up, but council members raised several concerns, including the fact that the site is not served by public transportation and is located on a busy four-lane road with no sidewalks. “You’re talking about a senior population, and I would assume public transportation would be a reasonable item they would be looking for,” said Councilman Latimer Alexander, who voted against authorizing the loan, along with Bill Bencini, John Faircloth and Chris Whitley. According to the city, the developer did a market study that found demand for 517 units and estimated that all 56 planned units would rent within six months. “We tried it three times before when it was on a bus line, and this council said ‘no,’” said Councilwoman Bernita Sims. “If it’s gone through the state process and the state process has said there is a market for it, then I think we ought to go ahead with it.” The development would be only for residents who are able to live independently. Instead of residents receiving rental subsidies, the developer would agree to lower rates up front designed to be affordable for different income groups. “I certainly don’t challenge the need for housing, but I can’t believe you put 56 units on 2 acres of property,” said Mayor Becky Smothers. “I don’t have a problem with it other than it’s so compact, and the sidewalk issue.” After signing off on the loan, the council granted the developer’s request to rezone the property to allow for high-density residential use, as well as office space. The council also approved a related land-use plan amendment and conditional use permit for the project.

Some exhibitors return to market after hiatus BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The positive projections from officials at the High Point Market may be evidenced in some companies that are returning to the show after several years of absence. High Point Market Authority President Brian Casey said Monday pre-registration numbers for the event so far had exceeded the last three markets. Some of those figures are attributed to new marketgoers while others are due to once-loyal exhibitors coming back again. Massage chairmaker Human Touch took a two-year hiatus from the market but returned on opening day Saturday to exhibit in the International Home Furnishings Center. According to representatives from the company, the market was too important to miss. “I think we’ve realized to be players in the furniture industry we need to be present in one form or another at trade shows in the industry,” Billy Curtright, director of sales for the California-based

pkimbrough@hpe.com 888-3531

company, told The High Point Enterprise on Monday. “This is obviously a strong, viable market.” Curtright said the company also showed its products at the Las Vegas Market but wasn’t able to reach its total client base through that show.

‘We’re seeing an improvement in business, and we decided it was time to come back.’ Ed Walsh Vice president, Leda Furniture “We still have some East Coast accounts that did not go to Vegas,” he said. Canadian casegoods manufacturer Leda Furniture also is making an appearance at the High Point Market for the first time in three years. The company exhibited at the show for 18 consecutive years before departing in 2007. “We’re seeing an improve-

ment in business, and we decided it was time to come back,” said Ed Walsh, vice president of sales and marketing for Leda. “Changes are happening in the import picture. The cost of ocean freight is going up. We make everything in North America, so we can ship it in two weeks.” Walsh said the company left after attendance in their showroom at the market declined. Factors like the rising cost of ocean freight are making the market viable for them again, he said. “People are getting tired of dealing with import goods,” he said. “Regardless, if we didn’t believe in the investment (of attending market), we wouldn’t have committed.” Other companies returning to the market this year include Vineyard Furniture, showing in Center Point. Curtright said the company had already decided to attend the fall market. “We do plan on being here next market in some form,” he said. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

County backs drive for tougher animal cruelty laws BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

Inside...

GUILFORD COUNTY – A resolution backing the upgrading of animal cruelty laws was one of several county commissioners sent off to Raleigh last week for legislators to consider during the session starting next month. The Guilford County Board of Commissioners voted to support “Susie’s Law,” which is named for the mixed-breed puppy badly burned and found

in a Greensboro park last year. The dog and her new owner, Donna Lawrence, visited the Old Courthouse for the discussion. In March, a judge sentenced 21-year-old LaShawn Whitehead to four to six months in prison for burning personal property. He received a four- to five-month sus-

pended sentence for animal cruelty. Animal rights advocates want the offense upgraded to a Class F felony so offenders will serve jail time. State Sen. Don Vaughan, a Greensboro Democrat, told commissioners he is amending a bill that deals with puppy kennels to include stiffer penalties for animal cruelty. Legislators could consider the amended bill when they resume work in May, he said. Commissioners amend-

ed their resolution to include support of the “puppy mill” legislation, which is aimed at improving conditions at kennels. “These businesses would have to apply for a license like any other business, and they would be inspected by the health department and visited by a veterinarian,” said Republican Commissioner Linda Shaw. A bill passed by the Senate would license kennels that sell directly to the public through the Depart-

Public concern for conditions at Rush Kennels near Pleasant Garden this month has revived interest in legislation. Officers removed 98 dogs – many of them sick and injured – from the kennels. Investigators found filthy conditions and foul drinking water. The owners face animal cruelty charges. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Legendary cigar maker dies at 91 HAVANA (AP) – Cuban tobacco grower Alejandro Robaina, an international symbol of the island’s cigar-making prowess, died Saturday. He was 91. Cuban state television announced his death, and the state tobacco concern Habanos SA, which produces the Robaina brand cigar, said on its Web site that he was the “victim of a somber illness.” The only Cuban grower with a cigar brand named after him, Robaina traveled for decades as an unofficial global ambassador for the island’s stogies. Into his final days, he could be found smoking cigars in a rocking chair on his front portch in San Luis. He worked the fields in Vuelta Abajo, Cuba’s most-famous cigar-growing region, where Habanos – a joint venture between the communist government and Britain’s Imperial Tobacco Group PLC – produced Robainas. “He left an indelible mark on the history of Cuban tobacco,” Havana’s Radio Reloj reported.

CAROLINAS, ABBY THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 2010 www.hpe.com

RALEIGH (AP) – Gov. Beverly Perdue’s spending proposal for next year likely will contain aggressive efforts to improve North Carolina’s public education and mental health systems as well as spending cuts of around $1 billion to help pay for them, legislative budget-writers said Monday. Perdue, who is scheduled Tuesday to propose adjustments to the $19.6 billion budget already approved last summer and set to begin July 1, also wants changes to the personal care services program that has struggled with Medicaid overspending, according to a lawmaker who got a preview last week from Perdue and her staff. “She’s got an ambitious program,� said Rep. Mickey Michaux, D-Durham, senior co-chairman of the House Appropriations Com-

mittee. “We’ve got to see how ambition works out.� Michaux and a Senate budgetwriter interviewed Monday declined to discuss specifics about the health or education initiatives. The Democratic governor hasn’t provided many hints publicly about what she wants lawmakers to approve during this year’s session save for a $17 million small business assistance package and ethics reforms. But Perdue has said her spending plan would include efforts to expand her “Ready Set Go!� program designed to ensure every child must graduate from high school with the skills to succeed in a career or attend a community college, university or technical training. Perdue spokeswoman Chrissy

Pearson confirmed last week the budget proposal would have money to pay for hand-held devices teachers can use to make realtime diagnostic assessments of students to ensure they don’t fall behind their classmates. Each device costs about $300, Pearson said. Perdue said in January she would shift money away from outdated or unnecessary state programs to find additional cash. “The bulk of the budget will be about trimming state government (and) finding ways to make state government leaner,� Pearson said Monday. Perdue also said in March she wanted to repay North Carolina state workers their lost wages for taking away 0.5 percent of their salaries last year to close a budget shortfall, at a cost of $65 million.

Ex-aide to Easley pleads guilty to tax evasion RALEIGH (AP) – An ex-aide to former North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley pleaded guilty Monday to one count of federal income tax evasion for failing to report a $30,000 investment return on a coastal subdivision that government attorneys argue he received thanks to a Wilmington developer’s favor. U.S. District Judge Terrence Boyle accepted the plea agreement of Ruffin Poole, 38, just two weeks before his trial on 57 corruption-related counts was set to begin. Poole had pleaded not guilty earlier this month but changed his mind Monday. There was no reason given. Poole, 38, acknowledged in open court he didn’t put the proceeds from his 30 percent return on the Cannonsgate development in Beaufort County on his 2005 tax return.

AP

Ruffin Poole, a longtime aide to former Gov. Mike Easley, and his wife Kathryn head to court in Raleigh on Monday. At the same time he made the money during the coastal land boom five years ago, Poole helped grease the wheels for the permitting for Cannonsgate, which was being financed by Lanny

Wilson, a politically ally of Easley’s, a government attorney said. “Without the permits, you’re not going to develop the property,� Assistant U.S. Attorney Dennis Duffy told Boyle,

Teenager’s puppy love delivers a painful bite

D

ear Abby: I’m 13, and my “first kiss� just broke up with me. My dad says it’s just puppy love, which may be true, but I have a feeling that I need to be with him. What hurts even more is he had a new girlfriend the next day. I have tried moving on, but I don’t think I want to. I want to try to get back with him, but I don’t know how. Can you help me? – Aching Heart in Iowa Dear Aching Heart: If your “first kiss� broke up with you and had a new girlfriend the next day, what it shows about him is that he has a short attention span. I know you would like to get him back, but the word from here is: Don’t waste your time. While the end of a romance is painful, chalk it up to experience and a part of growing up. There is no growth without a little pain; and it only hurts for a little while. Trust me on that. Now a little advice woman-to-woman: Once it’s over, all the note writing, phoning or conniving will not help your cause. Accept that it’s time to forget him. The longer you linger, the more foolish you will appear. So stand up straight, smile and move on. There are better days – and better boys – ahead. Dear Abby: Would you please print this to educate your readers about something I wit-

ness every summer – parents encouraging little kids to take native wildlife. ADVICE I watched a 6-year-old Dear girl show Abby off the two ■■■palm-sized baby turtles her dad had “given� her from the lake, and put them into a plastic container to take home. Abby, they were snapping turtles! Mom won’t be pleased when those “pets� snap a finger. Then there was the mom who thought it would be fun for her 7-year-old boy to play with a few frogs in their dry, dense, sun-drenched backyard. Within an hour, the amphibians had escaped and, best guess is, they died and became dehydrated, sun-dried critters or dog food. Abby, not only is it illegal to take wildlife on a whim, but it’s also selfish. At a time when we’re already damaging our planet for our recreational pastimes, we need to be teaching our kids that living beings are not toys, but rather a valuable part of natural ecosystems. It’s so much more fun to observe and learn from a turtle swimming free in the lake. Please urge parents to stop being so thoughtless, or they may end up with a ticket or a missing digit. – Wildlife Preserver in Lafayette, Colo.

Dear Wildlife Preserver: Well said. Children – and too many adults – act on impulse when they pick wild plants and flowers, or decide to “adopt� little feral creatures that are destined to die when taken from their natural habitat. Earth Day is April 22 – that’s Thursday – and it offers a chance for all of us to do something positive for the planet. Many parents use it as an opportunity to bond with their children, and some schools offer credit to students who participate. (Hint, hint.) Dear Abby: How do you attract single women while on a budget? – Gary in Longwood, Fla. Dear Gary: Matinees cost less for admission than late shows, and if there are any museums that are not too far away, check out free museum days. A picnic in the park or a day at the beach doesn’t cost a lot – and neither do outdoor activities such as biking or hiking. You really don’t have to have a lot of money to attract a nice woman. And anyone who makes you feel otherwise is someone you should run from. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

adding that Poole’s influence “would at least get the permit to the top of the pile.� The plea means Poole faces up to five years in prison, a $250,000 fine and three years of supervised probation, but a sentencing hearing wasn’t set. Poole, once a personal assistant and special counsel to Easley, agreed to testify and submit to questioning by federal investigators who have spent the past year looking closely at activities surrounding Easley and his associates. Easley, a Democrat who left office after two terms in January 2009, hasn’t been charged with a crime. Easley and his wife purchased a lot at Cannonsgate in late 2005 and received a $137,000 discount, according to documents.

Old Salem to close Toy Museum MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Old Salem will close its Toy Museum on May 17, officials said Monday. “The Toy Museum had a great run,� said Lee French, the president and chief executive of Old Salem Inc. “I think it was a fantastically interesting effort.� He said that the museum is talking to several auction houses about the toy collection. With such a specialized collection, it’s difficult to know how much money will be raised. The museum also plans to upgrade Old Salem’s library and research center. Tom Gray, a long-time supporter of Old Salem and the co-founder of the toy museum, has given Old Salem a donation to help pay for the upgrade. The improved library and research center should be open within five years, French said. The center will go a long way to establishing Old Salem as the authority for information on the history, culture and arts of the early American South, including those of the Moravians, French said. Those who want to visit the Toy Museum before it closes can buy a special ticket – $7 for adults, $5 for children.

S

alt is often added to foods to enhance the flavor, to help it last longer and to control how yeast works in baked goods. Many people are familiar with table salt, which is sodium chloride, the most common form of sodium in our diet. Sodium is also found in some foods naturally. Sodium actually has some important functions in the body, such as maintaining the body’s water balance, transmitting nerve impulses and regulating muscle contractions. The problem with salt is that we’re getting too much. High sodium diets can increase blood pressure in people who have high blood pressure. It may also increase a person’s risk for heart disease and stroke. High sodium diets can cause people to retain fluids. People often say they are not adding salt at the table, but the highest sources of salt in our diet are from packaged foods and eating away from home. Sodium can be hidden in sauces, marinades and salad dressings people add at the table. Salt is also added to food during cooking at restaurants. To find out how much sodium is in foods, look at the label. Most Americans are getting at least 4,000 to 6,000 milligrams per day. According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, adults should get no more than 2,300 milligrams per day or less, which equals about one teaspoon of salt. The American Heart Association recommends 1,500 milligrams of sodium per day. To lower sodium intake, look for foods with no salt added. Pick more fresh fruits and vegetables. The more processed a food is, the higher the salt can be. If you use frozen or canned, choose “no added salt.� Look at the food label. Less than 140 milligrams per serving is a low sodium choice. Avoid using the salt shaker at the table or in cooking. Try using herbs and spices such as oregano, basil, thyme or something spicy such as cumin, pepper or chili powder. Premixed herb blends give flavor without adding salt. Use fresh herbs. Plant a few of your favorites in a planter on your porch and use them when you want. Use more onions, peppers, garlic, lemon juice and vinegar.

Surgery only one treatment for peripheral artery disease

ear Dr. Donohue: While watching TV with my grandson, I saw an ad featuring a grandmother and grandson in a store. The youngster read a sign about peripheral artery disease and asked his grandmother if she had it. My grandson looked at me and asked the same question. I told him I didn’t think so. Actually, I’m not sure. How do I know if I have it? Is surgery the only answer? – C.C.

Peripheral artery disease, also called peripheral vascular disease, is a clogging of leg arteries, the same process that happens to heart arteries. Cholesterol and other materials form a buildup on the artery lining and block the flow of blood to leg muscles. When the buildup reaches a certain size, blood flow to the leg muscles is insufficient to meet their demands when a person walks. Pain occurs. Rest relieves it. The calf muscles are the ones most often involved in exhibiting the pain of PAD. But pain can arise in other places – the buttocks, the thighs or the feet. It all depends where the obstruction is located in the artery. Signs of PAD are an absence of pulses in the feet and at the ankles, coolness of the affected leg when compared with the other and a loss of hair on the involved leg. The doctor can make a definite diagnosis by comparing ankle blood pressure to blood pressure in the arm. The two

If the ankle pressure is lower than the arm pressure, something HEALTH is obstructing blood Dr. Paul flow in that Donohue leg. ■■■ The causes of PAD are the same as the causes of heart disease: cigarette smoking, high blood cholesterol, diabetes, inactivity, heredity and aging. Surgery is not the only answer: Medicines to lower cholesterol and to inhibit clot formation (aspirin, Plavix) are the first treatment. A low-fat, low-cholesterol diet is important. Eliminating smoking is mandatory. An exercise program tailored to the individual’s capability is another factor. Balloon dilation of the clogged artery is a less-invasive procedure than surgery.

About one or two weeks after ingesting the giardia organism, the prominent symptom of this illness appears – diarrhea. Think about where you were and where you ate one to two weeks before you became symptomatic, and you can get an idea of where and how you caught this bug. If you were camping, from now on, boil drinking water for 10 minutes. That will get rid of all organisms. Metronidazole (Flagyl) and tinidazole (Tindamax) are two reliable treatments for giardia.

Dear Dr. Donohue: What’s the scoop on giardia? I had it. How did I pick it up? I had diarrhea so bad that I practically lived in the bathroom. I am better now. I’ll be even better if you can tell me how I got it and how I can avoid it. – J.A.

Mo’Nique’s brother admits he molested the actress

Underwood makes history Singer becomes first woman to win ACM entertainer of the year twice LAS VEGAS (AP) – When Carrie Underwood took the gamble and tried out for “American Idol,” she never imagined a night – or year – quite like this. She made history Sunday night by becoming the first woman to win entertainer of the year twice at the Academy of Country Music Awards. She also has celebrated her 12th consecutive No. 1 single, the continued success of her album “Play On” and a premier headlining tour. Add in her impending wedding to NHL player Mike Fisher, and Underwood is living a fairy tale life. “Whenever I was on ‘Idol’ I was just hoping to stay there for another week,”

Brown to host Haiti benefit concert NEW YORK (AP) – R&B singer Chris Brown will headline and host a benefit concert in Virginia next month. “Virginia Stand Up! A Call to Action” will be held May 15 at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. Performers

will include Trey Songz, Keri Hilson, T-Pain, Mario and Ryan Leslie. The 20-year-old said in a statement Monday he wanted to personally contribute to the Haitian relief effort and support an organization that helps people in his home state.

Underwood said. “I don’t think anybody could have possibly predicted any of this.” Lady Antebellum was the dominant winner, grabbing five trophies, and Miranda Lambert won three, but Underwood stole the show. She won the fan-voted award in a category that included most of country music’s major stars and also was recognized earlier in the evening with a special trophy for achieving the “triple crown” of ACM wins – entertainer of the year, top female vocalist and top newcomer – in the course of her career. “That just says everything about how great she is,” Brad Paisley, who took top male vocalist honors, said. Lambert won top female vocalist.

Susie becomes ‘poster dog’ for tougher animal cruelty laws BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

onna Lawrence has a strong opinion about animal cruelty, but it’s her puppy Susie – a pit bull-shepherd mix that was burned and left to die last summer – that does most of the talking. Susie’s visible scars – from her burned-off ears to the hairless patches that cover much of her body – speak to the horrific experience she somehow survived. But her sweet, trusting nature around people, despite being set on fire by her previous owner, speaks to her new life as the “poster dog” for animal rights in North Carolina. “She speaks volumes of hope,” Lawrence says. “She’s the voice for other animals out there concerning animal cruelty.” Guilford County citizens have rallied around Susie since last August, when she was found nearly dead in a Greensboro park. Her owner, 21-year-old Lashawn Whitehead, had broken the puppy’s jaw and several teeth before dousing her with lighter fluid and setting her on fire. Second- and thirddegree burns covered more than 60 percent of Susie’s body when she was found, and her ears had been burned off. Her body was covered in maggots. “She’s just a miracle – people are shocked that she survived,” says Lawrence, who officially adopted Susie in December. They were equally shocked, though, when Whitehead received only a suspended sentence – a punishment Lawrence and other supporters say doesn’t even come close to fitting the crime. Under North Carolina law, though, animal cruelty is a Class I felony, and the state’s structured sentencing guidelines prohibited the judge from issuing a tougher sentence.

For more information about Susie’s Law, visit http://ncvaw.org/susie/. You can also visit the Susie’s Law page on Facebook at www.facebook.com/pages/ Susies-Law/403433747183.

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

Phoenix Academy students, such as kindergartner Bryant Jackson, get a chance to feed Susie. “I had no idea the law was this lenient, but we’re way behind on our animal cruelty laws in North Carolina,” Lawrence says. “Ironically, burning someone’s personal property is a Class H felony, which carries an active prison term, so you can burn your neighbor’s couch and get more time for that than for burning a dog.” That may be about to change, though. Susie’s traumatic ordeal, and Whitehead’s

subsequent punishment, have prompted Lawrence and other concerned citizens to establish a movement they call “Susie’s Law,” with the ultimate goal of rewriting the state’s animal cruelty legislation. Under a bill amendment being drafted by state Sen. Don Vaughan of Greensboro, animal cruelty would be bumped up to a Class F felony, which would allow for violators to be sentenced to active prison time. Legislators are expected to consider the amendment next month. In the meantime, Susie has been lending her paws to the cause, going around with Lawrence as she drums up support for Susie’s Law. Supporters have been going doorto-door recruiting citizens to send letters to their legislators in support of Susie’s Law, and Lawrence takes Susie to visit schoolchildren and other groups, where she speaks about the importance of how to care for pets and not abuse them. She made such a visit Monday to Phoenix Academy, where students oohed and aahed as Susie performed a series of tricks for the kids. Susie even has her own Facebook page – and has garnered nearly 13,000 fans in only three weeks. “She’s a star,” Lawrence says. “People just love her.”

Unlucky Louie had been spending more time than usual at the club. He told us ruefully that his in-laws were visiting. “If marriage were outlawed,” Louie sighed, “onlq outlaws would have in-laws. But I’m stuck.” I think Louie would prefer that bad trump breaks were outlawed. At today’s slam he took the ace of spades and led the jack of trumps, and East’s queen covered. Gratified at winning a finesse, Louie took the ace and king – and West discarded.

DAILY QUESTION LAST SPADE Louie did what he could by ruffing a spade with dummy’s last trump and starting the diamonds. He pitched his last spade on the third diamond as East ruffed, but then East led a heart, and West’s king won. To make the slam, Louie must maintain trump control so he can run the diamonds. To handle a 4-1 break, he lets East’s queen of trumps win. If East returns a heart, Louie wins, ruffs a spade and draws trumps. He then runs the diamonds, winning four trumps, five diamonds, a heart, a spade and a spade ruff.

You hold: S A H Q 8 6 4 D A K Q J 10 C J 6 2. You open one diamond, and your partner bids one spade. The opponents pass. What do you say? ANSWER: Many good players would willingly bid two hearts: In their style, a “reverse” would promise substantial extra strength but wouldn’t force to game. Other players would want a better hand and would rebid three diamonds or try 2NT. Your own “reversing” style is a matter for you and your partner to discuss. North dealer N-S vulnerable

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

Hamlin makes most of rain delay FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) – Denny Hamlin went ahead in the closing 12-lap shootout for a victory at Texas Motor Speedway on Monday, holding off Jimmie Johnson at the end to win another rain-delayed race. Hamlin won for the second time in three races, both victories coming in races that were postponed by rain before being run on the first day of the week. It was the 10th career NASCAR Sprint Cup victory for Hamlin, who won a Monday race at Martinsville three weeks ago, then had surgery two days after for a torn ACL in his left knee. He ran every lap at Phoenix last week, and was still hurting in Texas. “I’m trying to get it straight right now,”

said Hamlin, who gingerly climbed out of the car in Victory Lane. “I did it for the long run. Even though it was going to take some sacrifice, I knew once I came back I was going to be stronger.” Hamlin started 29th in his No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota and never led until that final run, set up after a spectacular nine-car crash involving polesitter Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon, who had led a race-high 124 laps and was trying to get back to the front. On the first lap after a restart with 18 laps left – following yellow-flag stops when Stewart was among the drivers who took only two tires and Gordon took four – they ended up threewide with Gordon in the middle and Johnson

on the inside coming out of Turn 4. Stewart got loose in the pack and there was contact with Gordon, who had three-time Texas winner Carl Edwards coming up behind and trying to follow him. Then things spun out of control along the frontstretch, though Johnson escaped that wreck unscathed. “Definitely my fault,” Stewart said, taking the blame for the accident after leading five times for 74 laps. Johnson led four times for 39 laps. Gordon led six times and Dale Earnhardt Jr. led seven times for 46 laps. There were 29 lead changes, tying the record for the Cup series at the 11⁄2-mile high-banked Texas track. A dozen drivers led laps.

That was spring break for High Point Central sophomore Gabby Gray, who piled in a car with dad Gary, mom Toi and brother Julian for a trip to Arlington, Texas. There, Gabby suited up for the 100- and 200-meter races at the USA Track & Field Area Youth Olympic Selection Trials. “It was kind of fun for me,” she said. “It was exciting to run against all the top girls in the nation.

HIT AND RUN

S

ome baseball observers suggest it takes starting pitchers a few months to adjust to a change from the American League to the National League, and vice versa. It’s a different style of play with different umpires and different strike zones, etc. That may be true, but Roy Halladay is handling the adjustment just fine, thank you. Halladay, traded from Toronto to Philadelphia over the winter, has bolted from the gates in the Senior Circuit. He tossed eight brilliant innings of two-run baseball in his home debut, an 8-6 victory over Florida on Friday night.

Halladay sports a 3-0 record with a 1.13 earned run average in 24 innings. He’s struck out 21, walked just two and allowed 21 hits. Rainy weather prompted Phillies’ manager Charlie Manuel to go to the bullpen after eight against the Marlins, denying the durable Halladay his 51st career complete game. Perhaps Halladay likes the benefit of facing his opposite number two or three times a game. I would imagine it’s easier to retire most NL pitchers than it is to deal with those

pesky American League designated hitters. Of course, Halladay seems to handle most opposing batters with ease. Teams are hitting a paltry .179 against the right-hander this season. Maybe Halladay, an .079 career hitter coming into this season, likes batting himself. He has one hit in each start. I think Halladay’s plenty comfortable in the National League. That’s bad news for the rest of the Senior Circuit.

WHO’S NEWS

Former boxing champion Edwin Valero, who gained fame for knocking out all his 27 opponents and having a tattoo of Hugo Chavez on his chest, was found dead in his jail cell Monday and police said he hanged himself after being arrested in his wife’s murder. The former lightweight champion used his own clothes to hang himself from a bar in his cell early Monday. He was found by another inmate, who alerted authorities. Valero still showed signs of life when they took him down, but they were unable to save him and he died about 1:30 a.m. The 28-yearold was detained Sunday on suspicion of killing his 24-year-old wife. Prosecutors said Sunday night that they planned to charge Valero. The fighter was a household name in Venezuela and had a huge image of President Chavez tattooed on his chest along with the country’s yellow, blue and red flag.

Wake’s Frye now a leader

Familiar name wins marathon BOSTON (AP) – Let him be known from Hopkinton to the Back Bay as “Robert the Younger” – the second Kenyan named Robert K. Cheruiyot to win the Boston Marathon and the first person ever to run the legendary course in under 2 hours, 6 minutes. Robert Kiprono Cheruiyot won the 114th Boston race Monday, finishing in 2:05:52 to shatter by 82 seconds the course record set by four-time winner Robert Kipkoech Cheruiyot, who’s not related. American Ryan Hall, who finished third last year, missed another spot on the podium by 2 seconds, but his time of 2:08:41 was the fastest ever for a U.S.

HPU’s Dougherty third in league tourney SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

NINETY-SIX, S.C. – High Point University junior D.J. Dougherty fired a careerbest 69 in the first round of the 2010 Big South men’s golf championship to end the day tied for third on Monday. The Panthers shot 297 at the Patriot Golf Club and sit in third, 11 strokes behind day one leader Coastal Carolina. “Obviously D.J. played very well,” coach J.B. White said. “All of them struggled a bit on the first few holes, but we came back to shoot pretty good numbers. I thought we might shoot a little better. But I am pretty happy with the way we played and the score we shot.” Dougherty, who finished fourth at last season’s championship, birdied his first two holes and finished with five birdies. His score was the lowest by any HPU golfer since Andrew Mespelt shot 69 on March 18, 2008, and the lowest in the conference championship since Brian Hayes carded a 69 in 2004.

“I played very well today,” Dougherty said. “I had five birdies and just two bogeys. I got off to a hot start with birdies on the first two holes. I stroked the ball really well. I hit a lot of greens and was able to bury some key putts.” Nick Goins recovered from a double bogey on the second hole to finish in a tie for 12th with a 75, with fellow junior Evan LaRocque finishing another stroke back in a tie for 20th. Chase Wilson shot even-par on the back nine to finish his first championship round in a tie for 24th with at 77. Curtis Brotherton carded an opening-round 79 to tie for 30th and complete the HPU scorers. Coastal, the No. 1 seed, shot 286 in the first round to jump to a five-stroke lead over Winthrop after 18 holes. Radford and Charleston Southern finished tied for fourth at 298, one behind HPU. Presbyterian was sixth at 300, followed by Liberty (304) and Gardner-Webb (314). PC’s Matt Sizemore shot 65 to finish atop the individual standings.

Alex Frye continues to make amends. Suspended by coach Jim Grobe for three games last season, Frye is determined to show he can be a leader and key contributor in Wake Forest’s defensive secondary. “One of my personal goals was to show people can trust in me and also to earn the coach’s respect,” Frye said after last Saturday’s scrimmage that ended spring practice. “I think I’ve tried to do that trying to get everyone to gel together and by showing Coach Grobe that I can be a team player.” He showed enough that Grobe has noted his play as one of the highlights this spring as the Deacons try to regroup after last fall’s disappointing 5-7 campaign in which they ranked 10th in the ACC in total defense, 10th in rushing defense, eighth in passing defense, gave up 21 passing touchdowns and 17 rushing touchdowns. On Saturday, the unit surrendered 4.8 yards per play, registering three sacks and 13 tackles for loss. But, they also allowed a 65-yard touchdown run to Devon Brown and a couple of 33-yard pass plays. “I think we’re going back to the old Wake Forest people are used to seeing, making turnovers and being game-changers,” Frye said. “Those were the things we were missing last year. Most of that came down to the cohesiveness. This year is more of a family unit. Everyone is a lot closer.”

Frye said Grobe is encouraging the bonding. “We’re doing more outside of football, SPORTS but we are studying Greer more film Smith together ■■■ and taking football more serious this year.” Defensive backs Chyl Qarles and Kyle Jarrett along with linebacker Hunter Haynes led the Deacs with four tackles each on Saturday.

NO ILLUSIONS Skylar Jones moved to the top of the depth chart at quarterback largely because Ted Stachitas and Brendan Cross were sidelined for part of the spring – Stachitas with a bad hamstring and Cross with a concussion. Jones ended the spring No. 1, but is aware that he will have to keep the position when preseason practice starts in August. “I understand that it’s not over,” Jones said. “I don’t consider myself as the leader. I just want to go out there and work hard. If I turn out on top, I turn out on top. If I don’t, I don’t. I’ll support whoever the coaches decide is the guy and I’ll be the best cheerleader.” Jones said he has used humor as a way to get the trust of his offensive linemen. “The last few weeks, I’ve tried to stay motivated and talked to my offensive line and tell them good job, keep blocking and I’ll make something happen,” Jones said. “I

think they have responded to me. I’ve been vocal with them. In the huddle, I’ve been laughing around and they’ve been laughing with me. It’s all about having fun, and that’s what I’ve been doing.”

WORK IN PROGRESS Regarding the offensive line, Grobe is starting to get a feel of what it might look like in the fall as he tries to replace three starters who exhausted their eligibility. At the beginning of Saturday’s scrimmage, Grobe opted for a line of Doug Weaver at left tackle, Gabe Irby at left guard, Garrick Williams at center, Joe Looney at right guard and Steven Chase at right tackle. Looney is a returning starter from last season, as is center Russell Nenon, who missed most of the spring because of injury. Chase was moved from the defensive line. “We’re better,” Grobe said. “Our consistency had been hurting because of the injuries and we’ve moved four guys from defense to offense. Steve Chase has been a big boost and could take the job at right tackle. I think we’ve got plenty of ability, but durability is doing to be the key. The five guys who start are going to be the toughest guys. We’ve got enough talent to get it done “Nenon is going to be one (of the starters). Looney’s been dynamite. Doug Weaver is going to be good. We’ve got to get a couple more guys in there who can start and end the season.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Toyota accepts record fine WASHINGTON (AP) – Toyota Motor Corp. agreed Monday to pay a record $16.4 million fine for failing to properly notify U.S. authorities about a dangerous accelerator pedal defect, but denied allegations it broke the law. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, announcing the largest-ever penalty paid by an automaker to the U.S. government, said that “by failing to report known safety problems as it is required to do under the law, Toyota put consumers at risk.” “I am pleased that Toyota has accepted responsibility for violating its legal obligations to report any defects promptly,” LaHood said,

Economic indicators exceed estimates NEW YORK – A gauge of future economic activity jumped 1.4 percent in March, the fastest pace of growth in 10 months. The rise in the Conference Board’s index of leading economic indictors suggests economic growth is likely to continue for the next three to six months. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters had expected the index to grow 0.9 percent last month.

Dodd: Goldman suit should spur GOP WASHINGTON – The chairman of the Senate Banking Committee says a government fraud lawsuit against Goldman Sachs should dissuade Republicans from attempting to block financial regulations pending before the Senate. Sen. Christopher Dodd also said Monday that his legislation would have provided more transparency to a Goldman mortgagerelated instrument that cost investors $1 billion.

Lilly profit falls on health reform cost INDIANAPOLIS – Health care reform charges helped chop Eli Lilly and Co.’s first-quarter profit by 5 percent, offsetting strong sales growth from some of its top-selling drugs. The Indianapolis drugmaker said Monday it took a one-time charge of $85 million in the three months that ended March 31 due to its retiree prescription drug coverage, and it expects Medicaid-related rebates to shrink revenue by $350 million to $400 million this year.

noting that the U.S. government was continuing to investigate “whether the company has lived up to all its disclosure obligations.” Toyota said it agreed to the penalty “to avoid a protracted dispute and possible litigation” but denied the government’s allegation that it violated the law. “We believe we made a good faith effort to investigate this condition and develop an appropriate countermeasure. We have acknowledged that we could have done a better job of sharing relevant information within our global operations and outside the company, but we did not try to hide a defect to avoid dealing with a safety

problem,” Toyota said. The penalty is connected to a January recall of 2.3 million vehicles with sticking accelerator pedals. The government says Toyota knew about the problem in late September and failed to report the potential safety defect within five business days, as required by law. The fine does not free Toyota from potential civil and criminal penalties. The Japanese auto company still faces dozens of personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits in federal courts and federal prosecutors and the Securities and Exchange Commission are conducting investigations related to the recalls.

Airline losses soar from volcano PARIS (AP) – As airline losses from the volcanic ash cloud spiraled over $1 billion on Monday, the industry demanded EU compensation and criticized European governments for relying too much on scientific theory – not fact – in their decisions to shut down airspace across the continent. Shares of some European airlines fell as flight disruptions from the volcanic cloud moved into a fifth day, and the International Air Transport Association complained of “no leadership” from government leaders – one of whom admitted to EU dissension about how to respond. “It’s embarrassing, and a European mess,” IATA CEO Giovanni Bisignani told The Associated Press. “It took five days

to organize a conference call with the ministers of transport and we are losing $200 million per day (and) 750,000 passengers are stranded all over. Does it make sense?” European civil aviation authorities held a conference call Monday about what steps could be taken toward opening airspace, and transport ministers from all 27 EU member states were to hold another later in the day. Dominique Bussereau, France’s transport minister, told reporters Monday that he had urged EU president Spain ever since Saturday to call the ministerial meeting immediately – but Madrid declined. “Naturally, it would have been better if had taken place Sunday or Saturday,” Bussereau said.

Chrysler settles dealer lawsuit DETROIT (AP) – Chrysler Group LLC says it has settled a lawsuit against one state but is suing three others because of laws that give dealers the right to block the automaker’s plan to thin its dealership ranks. The automaker said in a statement Monday that North Carolina has agreed not to enforce a recently passed law that gives dealers who were cut by Chrysler the right to challenge or stop the

company from awarding new franchises in their areas. But Chrysler says it will pursue its lawsuit against Oregon, Maine and Illinois, which recently enacted similar laws. Chrysler contends in a lawsuit filed last year with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York that the state laws are trumped by the bankruptcy court order approving plans to shed 789 dealerships.

Stocks end mixed after financials rebound NEW YORK (AP) – Investors snapped up financial stocks Monday after concerns eased about the government’s case against Goldman Sachs. The Dow Jones industrial average ended with a gain of 73 points after sliding for much of the day. The advance followed a drop of 126 points Friday after the Securities and Exchange Commission filed civil fraud charges against Goldman Sachs related to mortgage investments. Analysts said reports that the SEC voted 3-2 along party lines to press its case against Goldman Sachs eased some of investors’ worries. Investors seemed placated by the fact the vote wasn’t unanimous. A rebound in Goldman helped lift financial shares. Investors have been concerned about potential repercussions tied to the charges against Goldman. Meanwhile, airline stocks fell after most European airports remained closed for a fifth day following the spread of ash from a volcano in Iceland. Analysts estimated that airline losses topped $1 billion. American Airlines parent AMR Corp. fell 4.3 percent, while United parent UAL Corp. lost 5.1 percent. The technology-dominated Nasdaq composite index lagged ahead of a report from International Business Machines Corp. The company said after the closing bell that its first-quarter profit rose in part because of higher revenue. The stock slipped in electronic trading.

lone remaining anchor – announced it was closing its store at the end of March. The city of Charlotte had considered buying the entire 90-acre site – the mall itself measures 1.1 million square feet – in hopes of revitalizing east Charlotte. City staffers proposed demolishing the mall and, in its place, building a new “town center” – a walkable community with homes, stores and offices. Other ideas included placing a YMCA or a VA hospital at the site. The staffers last year negotiated behind the scenes to buy the mall and move forward with plans to tear it down.

Citigroup earnings offer hope for troubled industry NEW YORK (AP) – Citigroup Inc. provided more evidence that America’s big banks may have turned a corner. The bank reported a surprise first-quarter profit Monday as trading revenue offset losses from failed loans. Citigroup said it earned $4.4 billion after payment of preferred dividends, compared with a loss of $696 million a year earlier. That was the bank’s biggest quarterly profit since the second quarter of 2007. The company cited

strong trading of bonds, stocks and other securities for its big profit. Citigroup, one of the hardest hit banks during the credit crisis and recession, said losses from bad loans fell for the third consecutive quarter. It also set aside less money for loan losses. “Loan losses coming down with growth of top-line revenue speaks to the overall recovery,” said Oliver Pursche, executive vice president at Gary Goldberg Finan-

cial Services. Pursche a co-portfolio manager of the GMG Defensive Beta Fund, which holds shares in Citigroup, but is not currently buying shares. Citigroup earned 15 cents per share on revenue of $25.4 billion. That easily beat analysts expectations of a slight loss, according to Thomson Reuters. Citigroup’s strong showing follows similarly impressive results last week by Bank of America Corp. and JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Halliburton profit drops on slowed drilling NEW YORK (AP) – Halliburton said Monday its first-quarter profit slumped nearly 46 percent as the company saw drilling operations slow internationally. Reversing a trend last year, the Houston company’s results were propped up by a resurgence in the U.S., where crews have been working around the clock to tap natural gas deposits in underground layers of shale. Natural gas, which has fewer emissions that other fossil fuels like coal, has been a bright spot in the energy industry as Congress looks for ways to fight climate change. Halliburton CEO Dave Lesar said the oil services firm has been able to raise its prices as shale drilling expands.

But Lesar warned investors in a conference call that profits from natural gas could slip this year as supplies grow. Despite a frigid winter, the U.S. still sits atop huge stores of surplus gas. This “may potentially disrupt the current rebound in drilling activity,” Lesar said. Halliburton reported earnings of $206 million, or 23 cents a share, in the first three months of the year. That compares with $378 million, or 42 cents a share, in the prior-year period. Revenue fell 4 percent to $3.76 billion, compared with the first quarter of last year. Halliburton said it would have earned 28 cents a share excluding special charges related to

the recent devaluation of Venezuela’s currency. Oil services companies are in the midst of a growth spurt, with the largest companies attempting to get bigger so that they can offer more to giant, international oil companies. Halliburton said earlier this month it would buy the company Boots & Coots Inc. in a deal valued at $240.4 million. Boots & Coots specializes in pressure-control and emergency response services to control oil and gas fires. Schlumberger Ltd., the world’s biggest oilfield services company, is buying Smith International Inc. for about $11 billion, and rival Baker Hughes Inc. is buying BJ Services Co. for $5.5 billion.
