HEGE PETITION Protest group awaits hearing on former sheriff’s bid to get old job back BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

LEXINGTON – A group of Davidson County residents challenging former Davidson County sheriff Gerald Hege’s bid to get his old job back could get a hearing next week. The Davidson County Board of Elections dismissed the group’s original complaints Tuesday because the challengers failed to give complete addresses and telephone numbers and because their affidavits did not say what they wanted officials to do about Hege’s candidacy.

Fuabeh Fonge, an associate professor of history at North Carolina A&T State University, recently presented a paper on “The Fate of Megalomaniacal Dictators” at the 2010 annual meeting of the North Carolina Association of Historians at Barton College.

LEGAL CHALLENGE

–

In their new affidavits, the challengers say they want Hege’s name removed from the ballot. Early primary voting began April 15. Hege is one of three Republicans in the primary. The elections board is scheduled to meet next Monday. “We do not want a convicted felon elected sheriff,” said Melisia Prout, the president of Salvation’s Way and a Forsyth County resident who organized the challenge. The challengers say Hege, a convicted felon, would be in direct violation of N.C. G.S. 14-415.1 if elected because he would have

Trinity adopts new truck-parking ordinance BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRINITY – The Trinity City Council on Tuesday night approved a new ordinance that will allow some truck drivers to park on their own property. By a vote of 6-2, the City Council agreed to allow truck drivers who lease or own their rigs to park on their own property. The truck drivers also must have requested a permit from the city between Feb. 16 and March 18 to park their rigs and trailers on their own property. Council members Karen Bridges and Tyler Earnst voted against the new ordinance. At the board’s meeting in February, members agreed to allow truck drivers to park only a rig on their own property, and truckers

were given from Feb. 16 to March 18 to request a permit from the city. City officials had more than 40 truckers request permits from

City Council agreed to allow truck drivers who lease or own their rigs to park on their own property. the city but were not able to issue them because the council had yet to finalize a trucking ordinance. The approved ordinance allows tractors and trailers to be parked on property zoned residential if they belong to the owner of the property, spouse of the property owner or child of the property

owner and reside at the property. The owner of the tractor also must have a valid North Carolina commercial driver’s license. Trinity residents on both sides of the issue, which has been discussed by the governing body since August, spoke during a public hearing on the new ordinance before the City Council took action. Wayne Hill, a Trinity truck driver who leases his truck, urged the City Council to allow drivers who lease their trucks to park in the city. He said he wouldn’t be able to park his truck on his own property if the City Council didn’t change the ordinance to allow truckers who lease their trucks to park in the city, which the governing body eventually agreed upon Tuesday night. “There are a lot of drivers here who don’t own their trucks, but

they own their own property,” Hill said. “… I’ve been here for a long time. It’s just not going to work for me. We need to come to some kind of understanding. I’ve got to work, and that’s what I do for a living.” Jerry Sturgis, a Trinity resident who is against the parking of trucks in the city, said he wouldn’t have bought his home in Trinity several years ago if there was a rig parked beside his residence. He said he had talked to Randolph County officials concerning getting his property re-evaluated because of a truck being parked beside his home. Ed Lohr, a truck driver, told the City Council that the best thing Trinity could do is to “dump” the ordinance. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Businessman accused of insurance fraud BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – A Thomasville business owner faces charges alleging he collected insurance premiums from dozens of employees and failed to provide the insurance that they paid. Darrell Haire, owner of the defunct A.M. Haire Truck Bodies Inc., has been charged with 47 counts of obtaining property by false pretense, according to the Davidson County District Attorney’s

office. A.M Haire Truck Bodies Inc. ceased operations on June 19 at its facilities on Pineywood Road. Davidson County Assistant District Attorney Greg Brown, who is handling the case, said the N.C. Department of Insurance brought the case to the district attorney’s office. Brown said Haire was arrested but was released on bond. When reached by phone Tuesday, Haire would not comment on the case. Haire did say that his company still is closed. Brown said A.M. Haire Truck

Bodies Inc. and Haire have been charged for collecting insurance premiums for a number of their employees and failing to provide insurance that they paid for, as well as failing to give notice when the company stopped providing insurance. The time frame of when the company failed to provide the insurance was between Nov. 1, 2008, and Jan. 31, 2009, Brown said. A total of $200,000 is involved in the allegations, Brown said. Brown said each count of obtain-

ing property by false pretense is a Class H Felony and the maximum sentence would be 30 months on each count. An administrative hearing on the case is set for Monday, according to Brown. The case is in the early stages, he said. Lexington attorney William Fritts, who is representing Haire, and a spokesperson from the N.C. Department of Insurance could not be reached for comment.

Perdue budget gets mixed reviews BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – There is possible good news and some concerns for the school district in Gov. Beverly Perdue’s proposed state budget adjustments. Perdue has proposed restoring funding for driver training, matching money for raises and restoring an experience-based pay raise for teachers. Teachers again would receive their longevity-based salary increase – on average about 1.8 percent. State employees and teachers would get a one-time bonus to make up for a furlough last year that cost them 0.5 percent of their salaries. The district may have to contribute to some of

Goals: Gov. Beverly Perdue wants 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.

the salary adjustments. “We could take a hit on this,” Guilford County Board of Education Chairman Alan Duncan said Tuesday during a budget work session on the district’s proposed $651.8 million budget. “But once again classified employees do not

get a raise when teachers do,” said board member Jeff Belton. Classified employees include custodians, bus drivers and lunchroom workers. The state stopped funding for driver’s education while an effectiveness study was under way. School district leaders say the district can’t afford to pay the $1.7 million it would cost to continue the free classes. “This could take the issue off the table for us,” Duncan said. Overall, Perdue wants most state agencies to take an additional 5 to 7 percent spending reduction on top of 10 percent reductions last year. Much of the $957 million in Perdue’s spending cuts would be used for expand-

ing other programs, teach additional children in the public schools and in higher education, help pay small businesses to create jobs and pay for salaries and benefits. The state also would benefit from an additional $578 million in expected federal stimulus funds, Perdue said. Perdue also wants an extra $39 million for the public schools to buy hand-held devices designed to help teachers in kindergarten through third grade and fifth grade to assess student performance. “It will take us a couple of days to review all of this,” said Guilford County Schools Superintendent Mo Green. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Governor’s proposal reduces spending by $950 million RALEIGH (AP) – Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue proposed Tuesday that legislators trim another 2 percent in state spending from North Carolina’s government budget for the coming year in part by eliminating or reducing dozens of programs and requiring cash-strapped local school districts to make even further reductions. Perdue released her recommended changes to the second year of the two-year budget approved by the General Assembly and signed by the governor last summer. Her plan would reduce the budgeted amount by a net $410 million to $19.1 billion. The reductions she wants starting July 1 reflect the still-troubled economy generating less tax revenues than was predicted last August. Tax collections are only expected to grow 2.7 percent. It’s still an improvement over the historic 10.9 percent decline in collections the last fiscal year and the slight decline for the year ending June 30. “North Carolina’s economy is stabilizing again,” Perdue told reporters in releasing the plan, but “I don’t believe any time soon we’ll be back to the giddy days of 2007 and early 2008 ... This budget helps us set the table for that ’new

HIGH POINT – Furniture marketgoers may have the chance to get a leg up on marketing to younger consumers with a publication put out by High Point University this week. High Point University published its third issue of The Home Front during the spring High Point Market. The furnishings research newsletter is produced biannually by The Knabusch-Shoemaker International School of Home Furnishings and Design at HPU. Named for the cofounders of the La-Z-Boy Co., the Knabusch-Shoemaker School is a leading center for education and research on the furnishings industry. The current issue of The Home Front

concentrates on social media marketing. The spring issue contains an article by social media expert Leslie Carothers discussing “Why Social Media Matters to Your Business.” It also contains contributions from HPU professors and researchers. The newsletter contains research on younger consumers in the 18-to-35 bracket. HPU has had a Home Furnishings curriculum for more than 30 years. Located in the university’s Earl N. Phillips School of Business, the Knabusch-Shoemaker School offers two furnishings-related degrees – a bachelor of science in home furnishings and a bachelor of science in interior design.

tives, teaching more community college and university students, improving mental health services and pay for employee salaries and benefits. Perdue also wants a new transportation fund, paid for mostly with higher fees, to build urgent projects like the Yadkin River Bridge replacement on Interstate 85. The Medicaid program to provide in-home personal care services would be retooled to get a handle on overspending after efforts this year have failed. There are no broad-based tax increases, although car and truck owners would see their annual state vehicle registrations rise from $28 to $35 to pay for the new North Carolina Mobility Fund, which Perdue’s office hopes will one day reach $300 million. “It’s a realistic budget. It makes tough decisions now instead of kicking them backward or forwards for another time,” Perdue said. Another 600 positions would be eliminated in addition to the 2,000 this year, according to Perdue, although most of newly targeted positions are vacant. The state also expects another $578 million in expected federal stimulus funds to help close a budget gap projected at $1.2 billion.

I see no big deal with it. As sheriff, I would have no need to grab a firearm every morning when I wake up.” Hege claims the complaint does not make sense and should have been handled before voting started. “The state constitution allows me to run for office, and you can’t change the constitution by protest,” Hege said. “Time is running out.” State law allows for residents to challenge candidates no later than 10 business days after the close of the candidate’s filing periods, but because the complaints were filed last week, the board determined they were a protest and not a challenge. Prout, a former Davidson

County resident, couldn’t sign an affidavit. “I do not support any candidate in this election,” she said. The board could hear the complaints at any time while voters cast their ballots, said County Attorney Chuck Frye. “The statute allows an amended protest, and they can file that at any time,” Frye said. “The board can consider this if the protest meets the legal requirements and then decide on when a hearing can be held. There is also a potential that the hearing may not be held until after the election.” Hege resigned as sheriff in 2004 after pleading guilty to two felony counts of obstruction of justice for attempting to cover up money missing from the vice and narcotics unit of the sheriff’s department. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Crocodile forces aerobics class to wait SYDNEY (AP) – The biweekly water aerobics class at a holiday park in northern Australia was postponed Tuesday when an unwanted guest entered the pool – a 5-footlong (1.5-meter) crocodile. Workers at the Howard Springs Holiday Park on the outskirts of the tropical northern city of Darwin went to the pool

to scoop out leaves and otherwise prepare it for the class when they were surprised to find the croc, which had apparently crawled under a fence from a nearby swamp. A government ranger was summoned to remove the visitor, which was identified as a freshwater crocodile – generally considered to be capable

of giving a nasty bite but rarely fatal to humans. Crocodile numbers have burgeoned in northern Australia since hunting that pushed the animal almost to extinction was banned in 1971. Attacks on humans have increased, with four people killed by crocodiles in seven months from 2008 to early 2009.

NC court rejects appeal of coastal insurance cost RALEIGH (AP) – A state appeals court ruled Tuesday it can’t reverse homeowners’ insurance premiums that increased by up to nearly 30 percent along the coast because state law doesn’t allow a challenge to the former insurance commissioner’s last-minute deal. A three-judge Court of Appeals panel ruled in a lawsuit by coastal communities trying to overturn a December 2008 deal between former Insurance Commissioner Jim Long and the North Carolina Rate Bureau, which represents insurers. Their settlement on homeowners’ rates,

which came weeks before Long ended his 24year run as the state’s top insurance regulator, also allowed homeowners in 32 western counties to cut their premiums. The municipalities argued Long made the deal before coastal residents could react to the increases insurers wanted. Then Long allowed homeowners’ premiums to jump by unreasonably high levels, said attorneys representing Dare, Washington, Currituck, and Hyde counties and five coastal towns. Attorneys for the state agency and the Rate Bureau told the judges at

a hearing three months ago that state law makes the insurance commissioner responsible for representing consumers, and rate settlements can’t be appealed to the court by anyone else. Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin, who took over the month after Long’s settlement, said the case isn’t over and that he couldn’t comment on Tuesday’s ruling. A second, related appeal of the Rate Bureau case was argued last week before a different threejudge appeals court panel, Goodwin said. “Our case is still before the Court of Appeals on the issues that are important to

----

us,” Dare County Manager Bobby Outten said. “This was one of two avenues that was dismissed and the other avenue is before the court for their decision.” The judges ruled that since Long never held a hearing at which the rate increases were challenged and never judged the requested premium increases to be excessive, inadequate, or unreasonable, the court couldn’t overturn the deal. “This court cannot assume jurisdiction over any order of the commissioner that does not include those requisite findings,” Judge Ann Marie Calabria wrote in the ruling also joined by Judges Linda Stephens and Martha Geer.

NATO troops kill 4 unarmed Afghans KABUL â&#x20AC;&#x201C; NATO troops fired on a vehicle that approached their convoy in eastern Afghanistan, killing four unarmed Afghans and drawing swift condemnation from President Hamid Karzai. NATO said Tuesday two of those killed Monday night were later identified as â&#x20AC;&#x153;known insurgents,â&#x20AC;? but Karzai and the provincial chief of police, Abdul Hakim Hesaq Zoy, said they were all civilians. Zoy said one of the victims was a 12-year-old boy.

German priest ordered home in abuse case BERLIN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A German priest has been suspended and ordered home from a posting in the U.S. as he faces allegations he sexually abused teenage girls in Germany two decades ago, church authorities said Tuesday. The Roman Catholic diocese of Mainz in southwestern Germany said it had informed prosecutors in Darmstadt of the abuse allegations. It said there was no suggestion that he sexually abused children under the age of 14. The priest has most recently been working at the German Catholic Mission in Washington, D.C. Church authorities didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t identify him.

Guyana political gadfly arraigned in child rape GEORGETOWN, Guyana â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A television broadcaster and perennial presidential candidate in Guyana was ordered jailed Tuesday on a child rape charge. Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson ordered Chandra Narine Sharma sent to jail to await a hearing next month at which the judge will decide if the prosecution has enough evidence to put him on trial. Sharma, 60, leader of the minor opposition party Justice for All, is accused of raping a 7-year-old child around six years ago.

LONDON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busiest airport reopened Tuesday as air traffic across the continent lurched back to life. But the gridlock created by Icelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volcanic ash plume was far from over: Officials said it would be weeks before all stranded travelers could be brought home. Passengers wept with relief as flights took off from Parisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Charles de Gaulle Airport, Amsterdam and elsewhere. A jetliner from Vancouver, British Columbia, was the first to land at Londonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heathrow airport, the continentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busiest, since the volcano erupted last week. British Airways said it expected about two dozen flights from the United States, Africa and Asia to land by early today. Travelers cheered as the first European flights took off. Jenny Lynn Cohen, waiting at Charles de Gaulle to travel to San Francisco, had a boarding pass but could hardly believe she was going to fly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a little afraid â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I am hopeful that the plane will take off, and that it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet with any volcanic ash,â&#x20AC;? she said. The Eurocontrol air traffic agency said it expected just under half of the 27,500 flights over Europe to go ahead Tuesday, a marked AP improvement over the Passengers arrive at Londonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heathrow Airport after flying in on a British Airways last few days.

Pakistan: Islamist blames US for suicide attack PESHAWAR, Pakistan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An Islamist politician whose party lost several members in a suicide attack blamed Pakistanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alliance with the U.S. for the violence and urged Islamabad on Tuesday to break ranks in the war on terror. The comments showed the depth of anti-Americanism in Pakistan, whose support Washington considers key to stabilizing neighboring Afghanistan. In the past three days, attacks in Pakistan have killed more than 70 people in a new wave of violence.

last Argentine dictator gets 25 years in prison BUENOS AIRES, Argentina â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Argentinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last dictator was convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison Tuesday for torture and illegal detentions committed during the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1976-1983 military regime. Reynaldo Bignone, 82, shared responsibility in 56 cases involving break-ins, robbery, illegal detentions and torture in one of Argentinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest torture centers, the Campo de Mayo military base, the tribunal ruled.

Panel weighs rules after mine explosion CHARLESTON, W.Va. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; West Virginia is considering new regulations to respond to the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst coal mining disaster in 40 years. Members of the state Board of Coal Mine Health and Safety say that quick action is essential after the explosion that killed 29 men at Massey Energyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Upper Big Branch mine. Proposed changes for mine rescue and ventilation of coal conveyer belts are expected to be released for public comment today.

FBI file on accused shooter dates to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;63 WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; James von Brunn, the white supremacist who died before he could stand trial in the shooting death of a security guard at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, first came to the FBIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention 47 years ago when he was accused of making a death threat over a business dispute involving $1,000 that von Brunn said he was owed by a Greensboro, N.C., company. Documents about the 1963 incident were released by the FBI this month. The episode provides an early glimpse of von Brunn as an angry man.

White House protest Protesters (from left) Petty Officer Autumn Sandeen, Lt. Dan Choi, Cpl. Evelyn Thomas, Capt.

The group demands that President Barack Obama keep his promise to repeal â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Ask, Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Tellâ&#x20AC;? this year.

Massive deficit under scrutiny by top Democrat WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A top Senate Democrat Tuesday outlined a budget plan to cut the deficit below levels projected by President Barack Obama. The plan by Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, D-N.D., would also allow Democrats later this year to advance legislation on priorities such as taxes, energy and job creation without fear of a Republican filibuster. The hope is to wrestle the deficit down to $545 billion in five years, in part

by aggressively curbing spending on the domestic programs Congress funds each year. The deficit hit a record $1.4 trillion last year. Like Obama, Conrad would extend middleclass tax cuts passed during President George W. Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first term but let those for upper-income taxpayers expire. But unlike Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget, the plan forecasts tax increases elsewhere in the budget if millions of middle-class taxpayers

are to avoid the alternative minimum tax. It also would require tax increases to finance estate tax relief for couples inheriting more than $7 million. Conrad released only sketchy highlights Tuesday in advance of a twoday panel session thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a

precursor to floor debate before Memorial Day. The annual congressional budget is a nonbinding blueprint for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1 and sets the parameters for subsequent tax and spending bills that could boost clean energy programs and re-

vive Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stalled jobs agenda. The deficit has exploded since the recession began in December 2007 and as the nation endured a financial crisis and bailout of insurance companies, banks and investment houses.

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

I’m ready for more change this November I’m writing in response to an article printed on Oct. 5, 2009, about Ken Sunshine’s decision to get involved in politics. He said it was because of George Bush, things were upsetting him and making him afraid. Also, he stated that it wasn’t so much for himself but the kind of world his kids would end up inheriting. I wonder if he feels better now. When I read this, I kept the article knowing that I would be able to respond to it when Obama started breaking promises. I had no idea it would be as bad as it is. I hope we can get out of this mess in November. When George Bush was the president, unemployment was in the 4 percent range, the GDP was up. He created several million jobs and the stock market hit 14,000. The Democrats called him

a liar every day. Everything that happened was his fault. Remember, the Democrats took over in 2007 and talked him into signing a $700 billion TARP bill so that would be added to his debt not the next president. They knew that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were in trouble and waited till right before the mid-term election to unload the blunders they made in the two banking industries and yelled it was Bush’s fault. Well, it worked and the people fell for it. If I was a betting man, I would bet that they had some influence over the futures buyers when they artificially ran the price of oil up to $147 per barrel and in turn the price of gas went out of sight. All of this set the path for this socialistic bunch to take over. Well you can have it now. Good luck. DOUG ROBERTS Denton

Coble goes to Congress to represent the people Moderating candidate forums here for over three decades allowed me to get to know hundreds of politicians and political wannabes. This year, reading letters to the newspapers and attending candidate forums has been an eye opener. Looking closely at the candidates seeking the seat of Sixth District incumbent Howard Coble, you realize that the voters don’t know how lucky they are and have been to have Coble as “our representative.” Coble is not only our congressman, he is “our” representative. He works for us. Coble is accessible. When you need him, he is there to help you navigate the federal bureaucracy. He is there for us and he and his staff can make things happen. I know of many examples, but a

personal one tells the story. We had planned a family vacation, the first in over 25 years. One son forgot to renew his passport. Coble and his staff made it happen. We got the passport and enjoyed the family trip. We need Coble in Washington. We need him to represent us. We know what he believes in. A vote for Howard Coble on May 4, will be an investment in our future. We have had enough “change.” GENE BOHI High Point

YOUR VIEW POLL

OUR VIEW

ometimes, less is more. It would be wise for President Obama and the rest of the White House team to step back from the current battle over reform of the U.S. financial system, especially on “too big to fail” legislation and let both houses of Congress do their jobs. Obama’s heavy-handedness is wearing thin and continues to exacerbate the divisiveness in Congress that has thwarted progress toward what is best for the country – true bipartisan legislation, something that has been extremely rare throughout the present administration reign. Without Obama constantly sticking his nose into the debate, usually by denigrating his scapegoat of the day and lecturing congressional Republicans for not falling in lockstep line behind every opportunity he takes to increase government control, the GOP should be willing to break from its “just say no” strategy. A wise private business management team member some three decades ago was asked how he was able to motivate “his troops” – those who liked him and those who didn’t – to strive so hard and so effectively to meet the company’s mission during an extremely difficult decade. It’s philosophy, he replied. “I hire people who are smarter than I was at their age or experience level, clearly state the objectives we’re trying to achieve, give them the best resources I have available, then get the hell out of the way and let them do their things.” We suggest it is time for Obama to allow Congress to, as a Kansas City Star editorial suggests, “impose tough rules limiting the debt and risky investments that banks and other institutions can pile up ... tighten supervision of derivatives trading ... and create a council of regulators made up of the Fed, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the Treasury” that “with the approval of three bankruptcy judges, could authorize the ‘orderly liquidation’ – not a bailout – of distressed financial firms,” without his hand on the throttle daily. Fact-checking by The Associated Press indicates Republican arguments that White House-backed legislation to oversee the financial industry would lead to more government bailouts are supported by many on the left, right and center. AP also points out that the GOP position, which Democrats now claim is absurd, was raised more than once in the past by Timothy Geitner, Obama’s treasury secretary. Republicans and others also see Obama’s heavy hand so far on this issue to be a step toward what Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell claims is “giving unaccountable bureaucrats and self-appointed wise men in Washington even more power to protect, promote and punish companies at whim.” Government by politically motivated whim is a clear and present danger. Congress needs to get some backbone, attempt to be statesmanlike and provide legislation that resolves issues rather than merely scoring what it believes to be political points.

OK class, now let’s revise the Pledge of Allegiance

‘B

illy Johnson, stand at the head of the class. I want you to help us conduct an exercise on the Pledge of Allegiance.” “Yes, Ms. Smith.” “Billy, last week the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that it is constitutional to use the phrase ‘one nation under God’ in the pledge. Did you know the court reversed its 2002 decision in which it ruled the same phrase was unconstitutional?” “No, Ms. Smith.” “Did you know that the phrase ‘one nation under God’ was not in the original version of the pledge? Or that the original pledge has been altered four times?” “No, Ms. Smith.” “The original pledge was written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy. Shortly after he wrote it, the word ‘to’ was placed before ‘the republic.’ In 1923, the words ‘my flag’ were changed to ‘the flag of the United States of America.’ And in 1924, ‘United States’ was changed to ‘United States of America.’ ” “What about the fourth alteration, Ms. Smith?” “That came in 1954, Billy. President Eisenhower added the words ‘one nation under God’ to – says about.com – ‘reaffirm the transcendence of religious faith in America’s heritage and future ...’ ” “Cool, Ms. Smith.” “America was a much less progressive place in 1954, Billy. In fact, today I want the class to alter the pledge one more time to reflect America’s contemporary values. Billy, begin reciting the current version of the pledge.” “Sure thing, Ms. Smith. I pledge ...” “Stop, Billy. ‘I’ is so typical of Americans looking at the rest of the world through their own narrow point of view. Say ‘we’ instead.” “We pledge ...” “Stop, Billy. A pledge is so harsh. Besides, the courts ruled that reciting the pledge is voluntary. Change ‘pledge’ to ‘may or may not provide.’ ” “We may or may not provide our allegiance ...” “Stop! ‘Allegiance’ is so confining, Billy. It’s fine if a student wants to hold allegiance for America, but what about those students who don’t?

Change allegiance to ‘like.’ ” “We may or may not like the flag ...” “Stop! The American flag is so divisive, Billy. Isn’t it a symbol of American overreaching all over the globe? It’s really just a promotional OPINION marketing gimmick and that’s what I want you to Tom call it.” Purcell “We may or may not like ■■■ the promotional marketing gimmick of the United States of America and to the Republic ...” “Stop! ‘Republic,’ Billy? You sound as though a republic is somehow better than the political systems used in other countries. Your tone is so condescending. Delete!” “We may or may not like the promotional marketing gimmick of the United States of America, one nation under God ...” “Whoa! God, Billy? You have the audacity to mention God in a country that holds such strong separation of church and state? Sure, I know the 9th Circuit Court decided that the term neither restricts nor promotes religion, but for today’s exercise, let’s delete it.” “We may or may not like the promotional marketing gimmick of the United States of America, indivisible with liberty ...” “Liberty, Billy? Is there liberty for the millions in this country who are held down by the rich and powerful? Delete!” “We may or may not like the promotional marketing gimmick of the United States of America, with justice ...” “Justice, Billy! You really believe there is justice for all in good old America? We use the vast majority of the world’s resources. Where’s the justice in that, Billy? Delete! Now read our new Pledge of Allegiance from the top.” “We may or may not like the promotional marketing gimmick of the United States of America.” “Bravo, Billy, bravo!” TOM PURCELL, a humor columnist for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, is nationally syndicated exclusively by Cagle Cartoons newspaper syndicate.

and to cultivate robust business development in a 12-county region surrounding the Triad. To accomplish this goal, the Partnership has identified five key areas that set the Triad apart as a competitive region in the ever-expanding global economy. Those areas are aerotropolis logistics, home furnishings, nanotechnology, biotechnology and life sciences. While High Pointers are right to ask the perennial question, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Howâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market doing this year?â&#x20AC;? a broader question is emerging which needs to be asked with similar frequency and inquisitiveness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How is High Point fitting into the Piedmont Triadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future regional identity?â&#x20AC;? which by many accounts is the necessary wave of the globalized future. As the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Home Furnishings Capital of the World,â&#x20AC;? home furnishings are well within High Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to contribute to the overall Piedmont Triad identity. However, our regional identity will impact us for years to come. Therefore, it is imperative we proactively consider our

contribution to the Piedmont Triad, rather than expect someone else to make the decision for us or assume our contribution needs no evaluation. In this context, the previous King, Francis T. King, has set a useful precedent. First in agriculture and now in furniture, High Point has a history of cutting-edge design that creates a boon to local and regional economies. High Point should fully embrace a design-based identity and leverage the strength of its global furniture design reputation, to pioneer other areas of design as well. A designbased identity invites creativity, entrepreneurship and cutting edgethinking, all essential for economic vitality. This natural and prudent economic diversification will serve High Point well locally and as a robust contributor to the future Piedmont Triad regional identity.

eople hate people. I can understand this. I mean why else would we have war? Why else would we have gangs? Why else would we have fights at all? And you know, I can even try and accept the fact that people hate people. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all different and there are going to be altercations, I get that. What I cannot and will not even try to accept is the bigotry people exhibit when people hate people for their skin color, gender or sexual preference. As much as we try to deny its existence, the bias still ruining our society today cannot just be ignored though many of us choose to do just that. When I hear about prejudice I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but wonder, what do these discriminating citizens think makes them so much better than the rest of us? What makes them so beyond reproach that they have the right to judge others for things about themselves in which they cannot change? Unless some miracle of a gift has been bestowed upon them that everyone else is utterly oblivious to, then they have no right. If anything, just the fact that they are passing judgment leaves them looking narrow-minded and critical. When you take it upon yourself to criticize an individual for the mistakes or mannerisms of a massive group of people, you prove your idiocy. Everyone is different, which should make us more reluctant to stereotype and decide we dislike someone before weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve even talked to them. Being homosexual doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean

How can people like that be so convinced they are correct that they will openly proclaim their ridiculous opinions? What ludicrous ideas have been drilled into their heads that keep them so confident of their decisions? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost pitiful to see how misled they are, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very difficult to pity someone so unfavorable. I want to scream at these people, shake them, just to make them see that the bias they posses is not by any means the truth and is just the twisted way they see things. I guess that no matter what, no matter how long we live, there will always be prejudice. As horrendous as it is, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not something we can change in a few days. However, hopefully, eventually, the distorted mind-set of these judgmental people will begin to alter. Teen View columnist HAILEY HENDRIX is a sophomore at High Point Central High School.

Shuttle crew of 7 back on Earth CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Shuttle Discovery and its seven astronauts returned safely to Earth on Tuesday after making a rare flyover of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heartland to wrap up their 15-day, 6 million-mile journey to the International Space Station. The touchdown was delayed by rain and fog that dissipated as the sun rose, allowing Mission Control to take advantage of the morningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second landing opportunity. Shuttle commander Alan Poindexter held a small U.S. flag as he stood in front of Discovery, two hours later, and described the â&#x20AC;&#x153;beautiful entry.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got the bonus of coming over the entire

across the Mississippi Delta. It was just a fantastic entry.â&#x20AC;? Discovery swooped through a hazy sky before landing a day late because of rain.

Sarah Palin set to take stand in Tennessee hacking trial KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jurors in the trial of a former college student charged with hacking Sarah Palinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s e-mail account in 2008 heard testimony Tuesday that the accused man didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in what Palin wanted to do when she was the Republican vice presidential candidate. Palin has been subpoenaed to testify at the trial of 22-year-old David Kernell and Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg Weddle said in court for the first time that Palinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband, Todd Palin, and their daughter, Bristol, are also potential witnesses in the trial. Kernellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney told a federal jury his client had no criminal intent and guessed his way into Palinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal e-

mail. However, Kernellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former college roommate gave his testimony to open the trial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He definitely talked about how he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in what she wanted to do,â&#x20AC;? David Omiecinski, KerKernell nellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former University of Tennessee roommate, testified as the chief prosecutor used video monitors to show jurors copies of the e-mail and obscenity-laced Internet postings traced to Kernell. Omiecinski, the first government witness, said Kernell never said anything about wanting to hurt the former Alaska governor.

DETROIT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick violated terms of his probation by failing to report assets and turn over tax refunds, a judge ruled Tuesday, strongly suggesting he may send him to jail when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sentenced next month. Wayne County Circuit Judge David Groner said Kilpatrick could remain free on bond pending sentencing on May 25, and ordered state corrections officials to prepare a presentence report by May 18. Kilpatrick pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice in 2008 after sexually explicit text messages became public, showing he had lied under oath about an affair with a staff mem-

ber in a whistle-blowersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lawsuit. The 39-year-old resigned, served 99 days in jail, agreed to give up his law license, repay the city $1 million, and stay out of politics for five years. Prosecutors claim Kilpatrick hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t paid enough toward the $1 million he owes Detroit. He

has been making monthly payments of $3,000 while living in the Dallas area and working as a salesman for information-technology company Covisint. But prosecutors learned Kilpatrick and his wife have had other money, live in a rented mansion and drive fancy SUVs.

Census workers to make house calls BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISES STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – If you did not mail in your 2010 Census form last week, you may get a knock at the door next month. Starting May 1, census workers will go door to door to collect census information from people who didn’t mail in their forms. Census workers will visit a household up to six times if no one is at home. At each visit, a census worker will leave a door hanger with a phone number to schedule

a time to meet with a census worker. So far, various campaigns have worked to move mail participation past 2000 levels. The national rate is 69 percent, and the North Carolina rate is 71 percent. The 2000 rate was 66 percent. Among Triad counties, only Guilford was below the state rate at 69 percent with the others ranging up to 74 percent for Rockingham. Meanwhile, the count has shifted to those who could be the most difficult to find. Chris Kromm of

Sleep specialist unveils bed at High Point Market

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Becoming involved in the mattress industry was the last thought on Michael Breus’s mind when he was earning his Ph.D. in clinical psychology. Years of treating patients with sleep disorders, however, led him to the unveiling of a line of mattresses at the High Point Market that bears his name - The Doctor Breus Bed. The 31-year-old sleep specialist said he’s had numerous patients who have asked him what type of mattress they should buy to get a good night’s sleep. To answer that question, he went through a one-year process of developing the six mattresses in the line with the International Bedding Company. “I saw this as a unique opportunity to actually help people sleep better,” said Breus, also the author of “Beauty Sleep.” “I think of mattresses like I would a piece of exercise equipment or a piece of health care equipment. If you were to go running, sure, you can go for a jog in flip-flops, but you

vary in their firmness and softness. “We’ve really come up with a unique combination to give people both firmness and support,” Breus said. “Latex turns out to be a fabulous material to do something like that with.” Figuring out what type of person is suitable for each bed is a process in and of itself, Breus said. When a customer goes to a store that sells the mattresses, they should lie on the bed on both sides for three minutes while the sales person walks away. “Your body needs a certain amount of time to relax to feel that bed,” he said. The bed may or may not take the place of clinical sleep drugs, Breus said, but the goal is to improve their sleep pattern as much as possible with the right mattress, he said. “A lot of people don’t fall asleep because they aren’t comfortable,” said Breus. “That problem can be physical, or that can be mental. If we give them an optimal surface to sleep on, we can decrease their physical anxiety.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

NC anti-port group says analysis flawed

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate and current Secretary of State Elaine Marshall responds to questions during an interview in Raleigh. A local branch of the Teamsters union has broken with its leadership on a U.S. senate endorsement in North Carolina, saying a candidate went back on his commitment to a pro-labor proposal. Charlotte-based Teamsters Local 71 said Monday it would endorse Marshall for the May 4 Democratic primary.

Teamsters split on NC Democratic Senate race RALEIGH (AP) – The Charlotte branch of the Teamsters union broke with its leadership Monday on a U.S. Senate endorsement, saying a candidate went back on his commitment to a pro-labor proposal. Teamsters Local 71 said it is endorsing Secretary of State Elaine Marshall for the May 4 Democratic primary. The local president, Ted Russell, said his members were concerned after candidate Cal Cunningham’s comments in

an interview with The Associated Press that he would not pursue a so-called “card check” plan to make it easier for unions to organize. Russell said he believed Cunningham, who won the endorsement of Teamsters leadership, recanted on a commitment to the idea. “We don’t need that,” said Russell, whose unit has about 3,800 members. “We see enough of that already.” Unions have long

pushed to allow card check, fearing that businesses can abuse secret ballot elections and tilt the scales against workers. Card check would allow workers to form a union by signing cards as an alternative to an election. Asked in an AP interview whether he would support that, Cunningham said: “I support elections. I think that what we’re about to see emerge from the Senate, if anything, protects elections

as the sole way for there to be unions created. That’s something that I would support.” Pressed on whether he would push to allow card check, Cunningham responded: “No, no, not the card check.” Later asked to clarify, Cunningham said he supports a compromise idea that would allow workers to use card check as a way to trigger an immediate secret-ballot election – similar to what is allowed today.

WILMINGTON (AP) – Opponents of a massive cargo terminal along North Carolina’s coast have filed a complaint challenging the conclusions of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers study recommending that state and federal officials move forward with a feasibility study. The nonprofit No Port/ Southport group claims the port inflated the economic benefits of a proposed international port according to a complaint filed Monday with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Inspector General. The group says the corps’ analysis is based on the “capture” of container traffic from other Atlantic coast ports. Inclusion of captured economic benefits is prohibited by section 904 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1986, according to the complaint. “Without consideration of captured benefits, the analysis would not find a surplus of benefits over costs,” writes retired Col. Albert Willis, a member of the No Port/Southport steering committee. Willis filed the complaint on behalf of No Port/Southport. The group wants the corps to withdraw its report and remove the captured economic data from its analysis. Karen Fox, a spokes-

woman for the North Carolina State Ports Authority, would not comment on the draft report or the complaint, but said the Ports Authority was pleased the process is continuing. Telephone calls to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers were not returned. “What is especially troubling is that the Wilmington District is using this badly flawed report to induce the State of North Carolina to provide a commitment to go forward with the project,” said Mike Rice, a No Port/Southport steering committee member. The $96,000 reconnaissance study completed by the corps is only the first step in the port’s lengthy approval process. Dee Freeman, secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, is reviewing the report and speaking with Gov. Beverly Perdue to determine if the state will be the nonfederal sponsor of this feasibility study, said Jamie Kritzer, a spokesman for the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Kritzer said there is no timetable for the department or Perdue to make a decision. If North Carolina decides to sponsor the study, it will split costs with the federal government.

Wife questions husband’s choice of clothes

ear Abby: I think my husband may be a cross-dresser. Last night while “Roland” and I were cuddling in bed, I felt his legs and they were smoother than mine. I asked him why he keeps shaving his legs and stomach, and then it dawned on me. Roland has sent me e-mails hinting about dressing up. One year, he purchased a pair of high heels, saying he wanted to dress up like a woman. I examined them the other day and there is evidence that they have been worn more than once. My lingerie drawer is sometimes a mess, and sometimes my clothes are a bit out of place. I believe my husband dresses up while I’m out of town on business trips. I’d kind of like to see him dressed up, but I’m afraid he might look sexier than me. Lately Roland has been asking me if he can join me when I go shopping for clothes. He does chores around the house (vacuuming, ironing, dishes), and if he enjoys cross-dressing, I say he can wear any outfit he wants. How can I tell him I know what he’s doing? – Wise To Him in Fort Worth Dear Wise To Him: The next time the two of you cuddle up in bed, tell Roland you have been thinking about the e-mail he sent you regarding dressing up, that it’s OK with you, and you think you might enjoy seeing him

that way. It’s a nonthreatening way to get the message across. But ADVICE please remember Dear that not all Abby men who ■■■ shave their body hair are cross-dressers. And if your husband has been doing the ironing – and the washing that would naturally precede it – your clothes may not have been the way you left them because he put them away. As to him accompanying you shopping, plenty of non-cross-dressers shop with their wives – and some of them have better taste than the women. Dear Abby: My boyfriend will not let go of my past. I didn’t level with him about a couple of relationships because I knew he was a racist. He found out, and now all I get is teasing and comments almost every day. If he sees a talk show about a liar, he says, “Oh! There you are!” It’s the same if the subject is a whore. What he’s doing is hurting me. Is this normal behavior? Am I supposed to ignore him? I have asked him to stop, but he says he won’t until I learn to laugh about it. Any suggestions? – Embarrassed in Anaheim Dear Embarrassed: Just this: What’s going on is not “normal” and

it’s no laughing matter. Tell your boyfriend that the next time he calls you a whore or a liar, he is history. And stand by your word, unless you want to spend the rest of your life with a racist who has a sadistic sense of humor and no respect for your feelings. Dear Abby: How do I tell a friend of many years that the wig she wears is not flattering? We’re nearly 80, and the wig is black and falls past her shoulders. Her hair was dark when she was young, but now the color looks harsh. She started wearing the wig because it was too much trouble to go to the hairdresser every week. Something shorter and lighter in color would look much better. My friend can be vain about her appearance. How do I enlighten her without hurting her feelings? – Caring Friend in Ohio Dear Caring Friend: Here’s what I’d do. With the understanding that it’s affordable, I would suggest to my friend that “for kicks” the two of us “girls” go out for a makeup and hair makeover – and let a professional broach the subject. If she declined the invitation, I’d keep my mouth firmly shut. And that’s what I’d recommend to you. 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.

ou Friedman, 68, grew up in the Bronx, N.Y., at a time when there was a genuine no-child-leftbehind ethic. Friedmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighbors were as caring and inviting as his family members; his school offered a recreation program that kept kids active and supervised until 10 p.m., and his apartment complex had its own boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; softball team. Best of all, his team had Al Goldberg as a coach. ABOVE â&#x20AC;&#x153;Al GoldAND berg gave BEYOND us his time. Most of all, Patty Jo he taught us Sawvel sportsmanâ&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; ship,â&#x20AC;? Friedman said. Like most coaches, Goldberg taught his guys to look out for their teammates. But he also taught them to value and respect their opponents. By his book, it was important to win, but it was never OK to embarrass or humiliate those who lost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I admired him so much that I decided to pattern my life after him,â&#x20AC;? Friedman said. Friedman attended Kansas State Teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College to become a science teacher and coach, but the Vietnam War interrupted his plans. After serving one tour in Vietnam, Friedman decided to attend graduate school to study psychology and vocational rehabilitation. Once that was completed, Friedman accepted a job with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and moved to WinstonSalem. Now, instead of helping boys play sports, Friedman helped returning vets get back into the game of life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every veteran is different. They all had different needs and strengths and weaknesses. My job was to make sure they got on the right team so that they could be successful,â&#x20AC;? Freidman said. Two years later, Friedman moved to Kernersville with his wife, Judy, and a few years after that, their sons, Thaddeus and Shaylor, were born. As soon as the boys were old enough to play ball, Friedman started coaching soccer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started volunteering with Kernersville Soccer Association 25 years ago, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still volunteering. Now that my sons are grown, I get to watch other children grow and develop into outstanding young men. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the reward. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Al,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Friedman said. So for most of his adult life, Friedman coached veterans by day and young novices at night. In doing this, he not only made sure no child was left behind, but he also watched out for the adults. Today, Friedman assigns referees for the Piedmont Triad Football Club. He often volunteers up to 40 hours a week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the trail, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really happy with the way that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to give back,â&#x20AC;? Friedman said.

Heart pain possible with normal heart arteries

ear Dr. Donohue: I am a 35-year-old father with two young children. Two times in the past month, I had bad chest pain while sitting and watching TV. After the second time, my wife insisted I see a doctor. The doctor did an EKG, which was normal. He then arranged for me to have an exam with a cardiologist. He thinks I have something called variant angina. Will you explain? Does it cause a heart attack? – M.J.

BLONDIE

Variant angina has another name, Prinzmetal’s angina. It’s heart pain like the heart pain of regular angina, but with some big differences. It comes on when at rest, not with activity. It’s caused by sudden constriction of a heart artery. And it often happens at younger ages. The involved heart artery can be free of any cholesterol buildup. The artery spasm is so intense, however, that it cuts off blood supply to a section of heart muscle and produces chest pain that occurs with artery blockage. Sometimes, however, there is buildup in the artery, and that complicates the picture. Proof of this condition lies in finding the typical EKG changes of variant angina during an attack. That’s not easy to do, because the attacks are unpredictable. If the heart doctor feels it necessary, he or she can provoke an artery spasm by giving drugs. The EKG is running during the procedure.

If you do have variant angina, then medicines like nitrates and calcium channel HEALTH blockers can prevent Dr. Paul spasms Donohue or termi■■■ nate them if they arise. One of the cholesterol-lowering statin drugs Lescol (fluvastatin) can ward off attacks of variant angina. The outlook for this condition is good. The chances of having a heart attack are quite small. Dear Dr. Donohue: This past January, I saw a doctor because I had sore joints. The doctor’s impression was rheumatoid arthritis. I have three small children, and I have a part-time job. I don’t have time to have rheumatoid arthritis. The pain left in February. Now the doctor says I could have had a viral infection. Is this possible? Don’t doctors blame viruses for everything they don’t have an answer for? – J.S. The viral diagnosis makes sense. Hepatitis viruses, echoviruses and coxsackie viruses are but a few of the viruses that cause joint swelling and joint pain. The names might not be familiar to you, but they are common viral infections. Since you had no other symptoms, the hepatitis viruses are not a real possibility. Lyme disease,

a bacterial infection, is another illness that targets joints. If I had to pick a viral cause for your joint pain, I’d pick parvovirus B19. It causes an illness called fifth disease in children. Infected children have bright-red cheeks. In adults, painful joints are the primary sign. It almost always resolves on its own. The doctor has given you a reasonable explanation. Dear Dr. Donohue: I’ve thought of this many times. In my childhood, we were told not to smoke because it would stunt our growth. I know plenty of people who are 6 foot plus and who have smoked since their teens. I never hear about stunted growth in antismoking campaigns. If it is true, why don’t they use this as a deterrent anymore? – C.N. I have to admit. I can’t find any reliable information that proves smoking stunts growth. It’s OK by me if youngsters believe it does. Anything that keeps them from smoking is not a bad thing. If anyone has evidence that growth stunting is a side effect of cigarettes, please send it to me.

Feelin’ groovy? The designer of ‘Summer of Love’ furnishings believes his retro line will take you back in time BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

IGH POINT – Ask home furnishings designer Chris Bruning how business has been at this week’s High Point Market, and he might tell you it’s been groovy. Outta sight. Far-out. Right on. Choose your own euphemism, but Bruning – co-founder of the eco-conscious manufacturer Groovystuff – is picking up good vibrations, and they’re giving him excitations. Bruning is the designer of Groovystuff’s new “Summer of Love” collection – a 1960s- and ’70s-inspired home furnishings line making its debut at the market – and interest in the collection has been, well, groovy. “Art and music and fashion are all ways to express ourselves, and the ’60s were a really big time as an age of expression,” Bruning says. “A lot of people want to express themselves through home furnishings, too, so my idea was to take all this interest in the ’60s and blend it in with my designs.” The result is the “Summer of Love” collection, which features bar stools and end tables covered with synthetic fur – including a purple fur Bruning calls “Purple Haze” – as well as coffee tables, lamps, lampshades and a few occasional pieces. The collection also includes a few accessory items such as brightly colored teak snowflakes that hang on the wall and evoke a definitive retro feel. “Everybody likes retro home furnishings anyhow – things from the past that remind them of some sort of nostalgic time,” Bruning says. “Retro furnishings have always kinda made their statement.” The 1960s have enjoyed an especially strong resurgence in pop culture in recent years, from the 40th anniversary of Woodstock observed in 2009 to the popularity of reissued music from that era. Much of that interest is being fueled by the children of baby boomers, Bruning says, and he believes their interest is even strong enough to influence the kind of home furnishings they buy. “Think of all the vintage clothing stores around the country right now, and they’re all staffed by young, hip people selling vintage retro clothing,” he says. “They’re old enough to buy home furnishings, and they want this – they’re going out looking for it. They’re a strong demographic that needs to be recognized.” Bruning figures the “Summer of Love” collection most likely will be found in basements and recreation rooms. “Rec rooms is where I see it being used most,” he says, “or maybe in that funky room, like Dad’s den. Maybe it’s in that nostalgia room that has the jukebox in it.” While the collection is obviously functional, it’s more about self-expression than anything else, Bruning says. “People want to express themselves through their home furnishings, and this is a good way of expressing that creative, funky side of yourself,” he says.

SENIOR DIETS

---

A new study by researchers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center indicates that intentional weight loss in older adults decreases the risk of death. The study is the first to refute the widely held belief that intentional weight loss in older adults increases the risk of death. In fact, the research shows that seniors who intentionally exercised and/or modified their diets to lose weight were half as likely to die within eight years of follow-up as their peers who did not work toward weight loss, said M. Kyla Shea, Ph.D., first author on the study and a research associate in the Department of Internal Medicine, Section on Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine. “It was an unusually strong and surprising finding,” Shea said. “Our data suggest that people should not be concerned about trying or recommending weight loss to address obesityrelated health problems in older adults.” The study, funded by the National Institute on Aging, is currently available online and is schedule to appear in a future print issue of the Journal of Gerontology: Medical Sciences. Prior to this study, research that has looked at the association between mortality and weight loss has not factored in the many different potential causes of the weight loss. So, using a more rigorous randomized trial approach, Shea and colleagues sought to prove or disprove the idea that older individuals who actively tried to lose weight increased their risk of death.

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

“Rule of Thumb,” it’s said, comes from an old English law that forbade a husband to beat his wife with any wider instrument. Today’s declarer didn’t deserve a beating but did deserve to lose his slam. South took the ace of spades and foresaw an easy time. He led a trump to his king and another trump. East took the ace and led a third trump. South next cashed the top clubs and ruffed a club. When East discarded, South took the king of spades and ruffed a spade. This time West discarded, and South had only 11 tricks. He tried a desperate heart finesse with the jack, but it lost.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S 8 7 H 10 6 5 3 D 6 C Q 9 8 6 4 3. Your partner opens 1NT, and the next player passes. What do you say?

NO PROBLEM A rule of thumb is to draw trumps only if you see no problem whatever. South’s play was all thumbs, but he could get a “thumbs up” if he took the ace of clubs at Trick Three. The play would continue: club ruff, spade ruff, club ruff, trump. East could win and lead his last trump, but South would win four trumps in his hand, two clubs, two ruffs in dummy, two spades and two hearts.

---

ANSWER: Since your hand may be worthless at notrump, bid two clubs, which partner will temporarily treat as Stayman. If he bids two hearts next, you’ll pass. Otherwise, you’ll continue with three clubs to sign off. (Pairs use various methods to show a weak hand with long clubs: Some may treat a direct jump to three clubs as weak.) North dealer Both sides vulnerable

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

Experts learn to eat on food-stamp budget BY PERVAIZ SHALLWANI FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ow well can a family of four eat on just $68.88 a week? For more than 38 million Americans, it’s more than a matter of conjecture. With job growth and the economy still only sputtering along, a record number of Americans have turned to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the formal name for federal food-stamp program. At the end of last year, roughly 1 in 8 Americans received food stamps, the highest rate ever, according to Lisa Pino, the program’s deputy administrator. During the past two years alone, another nearly 12 million people enrolled in the program. How much a family gets per month is determined by a number of factors, but typically ranges from less than $100 to more than $500. The national average for a family of four at the end of 2009 was $275.53 a month, or about $68.88 a week. Despite growing dependence on food stamps, the popular impression is that the meals you can make with them are bleak. To find out how well you can eat on food stamps, the AP asked two chefs and a magazine food editor to plan out seven days of meals for a family of four using that budget: $68.88. Food stamp officials note that the program is meant to supplement a household’s food budget, not be its only spending. But to best illustrate what’s possible – or not – on a very tight budget, we asked the participants to work with the food stamp budget only. “It was tough. You really have to think outside the box,” says Jose Garces, a Food Network Iron Chef and James Beard award-winning chef from Philadelphia. “When you are used to creating food the way we do, it takes you back.” Though not everyone succeeded in staying within budget, the lessons learned were universal. All three said planning and careful shopping were key, as was a willingness to recast leftovers. They also championed chicken as an inexpensive and versatile protein. Here’s how they managed: ****

Bill Telepan of Telepan restaurant in New York Telepan approached the food stamp challenge with the same sustainable eating philosophy he uses at his restaurant. He favors high-quality, unprocessed ingredients (organic when possible) and plenty of from-scratch cooking. “The problem with the way some people spend food stamps is by buying processed foods,” he says. “I wanted to buy everything fresh and cook from scratch. You are not going to do it every day. But do it two or three times a week and then make enough so you heat it up.” Processed foods may sometimes seem less expensive, but they are harder to stretch and generally not as healthy. Telepan also looked for more seasonal foods, which generally are cheaper. But even without buying the organic, grass-fed meats he favors, Telepan still came in nearly $20 over budget. Some aggressive use of coupons, sales and bulk shopping probably could bring his total closer to the goal. When constructing his menu, Tele-

Restaurant owner and chef Bill Telepan shops at New York’s Fairway market. pan began by selecting the protein and building out from there. This ensured the meals were satisfying. He also assembled his meal plan backward, starting with each day’s dinner, then sorting out how to use the leftovers in other meals. For example, the leftovers from Monday’s roasted chicken dinner became a salad for lunch on Tuesday. And ziti that was served with broccoli, toasted garlic and shell beans on Wednesday got a makeover with meatballs two nights later. Of course, cooking from scratch is more work, which many busy families will find daunting. Telepan advocates involving the whole family in the cooking. “People look at cooking as a chore,” he says. “In the end, if people all help out it makes it fun.” Where the money went: Telepan’s menu came to $87.76, nearly $20 over budget. The biggest chunk of that – $31.01 – was spent on produce, with another $22.48 on dry goods such as bread, pasta, rice, beans and oatmeal. Meat – two whole chickens ands 2 pounds of ground beef – accounted for another $18.62. A savvy shopper could use coupons, sales and bulk purchases to get his menu closer to budget. **** Anna Last, editor of Everyday Food magazine Last focused on stretching her ingredients as far as possible and budgeting her time as much as her cash. When planning out the week, she was careful not to schedule too many timeconsuming recipes in a row. When she planned the chili garlic chicken legs one night, she followed it with an easier rice and beans the next. Like Telepan, she avoided processed foods. Not only are whole foods often more nutritious, they usually are easier to stretch. “Cooking on a budget and actually cooking means cooking without using

packaged foods,” she says. “Packaged food can often be not as nutritious for you. You are also paying for the convenience sometimes. Pasta sauce is a convenience. Cooking it yourself, you know what’s in it. There is less sodium. There is less fat. It’s those sorts of things that you have to think of as well.” How she shopped also was part of her plan for staying on budget. If possible, she says don’t shop when hungry or with your children, both of which can prompt unplanned purchases. And always use a list; it makes shopping faster because you only look for what you need. “It also helps you avoid buying extra things,” she says. “To me, writing the list is the most important thing.” When selecting foods, Last started with foods she liked, as well as basic staples. She also made sure to buy foods with multiple uses – such as flour, oil and spices. But she splurged where she could, as with buttermilk and andoiuille sausage. She simply bought those items in smaller amounts or made sure she had uses for leftovers. “Throw out nothing,” she says. “If you want a special ingredient, figure out what else to do with it.” This is where Last turned to a kitchen sink stew, building around extra chicken legs and adding anything that was leftover from the week. “You can use almost any vegetable in it.” Where the money went: Last spent a total of $68.49, giving her 39 cents to spare. Nearly $22 of that was spent on about 14 pounds of meat, mostly chicken, ground beef and a bit of bacon. About another $22 was spent on produce, with the remaining money split between dry goods and dairy, including milk, eggs and cheese. **** Jose Garces of Philadelphia Garces’ signature style is to dress up simple foods with plenty of ethnic flavors.

And because seasonings – both dry spices and fresh herbs – tend to be inexpensive, his is an approach that works well when trying to make the most of a small budget. Inexpensive basics – such as pasta, beans, greens and potatoes – can get tons of flavor from spices and herbs. The same foods also can taste radically different from one meal to the next – Indian flavors one night, Asian the next and Mexican on the third. Garces suggests that budget shoppers start in the grocer’s ethnic aisle, where the products generally are less expensive. Budget cooking “traces back to roots in ethnic cooking,” he says. “If you look back in history, people had to survive, and using inexpensive products became ways to survive and using those inexpensive products became traditional dishes.” To create his menu, Garces drew on his Mexican roots, as well as his love of Indian food. Beans, spices, herbs and produce are at the heart of both cuisines – and are among the least expensive ingredients at the grocer. If cooking ethnic dishes intimidates you, head to the library, which should have plenty of books covering plenty of cuisines. On his menu, an inexpensive chipotle pepper gives a kick to meatloaf. Smokey paprika adds depth to roasted chicken. “It’s all about shopping and buying the right amounts,” he says. “Buy products that contain a ton of flavor. Chorizo typically has paprika, black pepper, garlic, cumin and a lot of pork fat.” Where the money went: Garces spent $69.54, just 66 cents over budget. Nearly $23 went to meat, including high-flavor items such as chorizo and bacon. Another $18 was spent on dry goods and flavorful foods, such as salsa, roasted peppers, chipotles in adobo sauce, paprika and maple syrup. The rest was split mostly between dairy and produce, including garlic, avocado and lemons.

Pot of chili makes most of affordable ingredients

Cross between omelet, quiche is inexpensive

Fold the onion mixture and potatoes into the eggs, then season with salt and pepper. Heat the oven to broil. Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook for 4 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven about 10 inches from the broiler. Broil for about 10 minutes, or until lightly browned on the top and the egg is set.

TOO MUCH SALT Report urges FDA to force rollback AP

A concierge at a building on New York’s Park Avenue holds the door for a woman as she gets into a car Tuesday. New Yorkers are bracing for a possible strike by 30,000 doormen, porters and other building workers.

New Yorkers brace for possible doorman strike NEW YORK (AP) – They sign for deliveries, hail taxis, fix leaky faucets and, of course, open doors. Nearly 1 million New York City apartment dwellers rely on doormen and other building workers to make life in a high-rise run smoothly. But 30,000 doormen, concierges, porters and handymen had threatened to go on strike at 12:01 a.m. today, worrying many tenants. “What do we do with the trash?” said Stafanie Howarth, who lives in a brick apartment tower in Greenwich Village. “Do we bring it outside? I don’t know.” The union members work at luxury buildings with grand marble lobbies and at modest buildings for middle-class tenants. They mop the

hallways, admit visitors and accept deliveries of groceries and Chinese food. Some will walk a tenant’s dog or assemble Ikea furniture. Doorman Hector Matias, who works at a luxury tower near the Hudson River, said he once helped a pregnant woman whose water broke. “The lady went into labor, and I put her in the car and buckled her seat belt,” he said with a broad grin as he recalled the story. “The baby was born minutes later.” The union and the Realty Advisory Board, which represents building owners, are fighting over wages and benefits, including health care, sick days and overtime rules. The union last went on strike in 1991.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Too much salt is hidden in Americans’ food, and regulators plan to work with manufacturers to cut back – but the government isn’t ready to go along with a major new recommendation that it order a decrease. “We believe we can achieve some substantial voluntary reductions,” Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “We are shaping a strategy, and that strategy involves working in partnership.” Don’t expect soups, pizzas and breakfast cereals – yes, they contain added sodium, too – to taste different any time soon. The FDA’s plans are still being formulated, but the idea is for gradual change so consumer taste buds can adjust, as well as industry recipes and production methods. Americans eat about 11⁄2 teaspoons of salt daily, more than double what they need for good health and enough to increase the risk of high blood pressure, strokes and other problems. Most of that sodium doesn’t come from the table salt shaker; it’s hidden inside common processed foods and restaurant meals.

The Morton Salt distribution facility is seen in Chicago Tuesday. On Tuesday, the prestigious Institute of Medicine said the food industry has made little progress in voluntarily reducing sodium. The advisers urged the FDA to set maximum sodium levels for different foods in a stepwise rollback, so that eventually average consump-

tion would drop by about half a teaspoon. “This needs to be a mandatory standard,” said Dr. Jane E. Henney of the University of Cincinnati, a former FDA commissioner who headed the IOM’s study. The report doesn’t set a deadline.

BY JASON QUEEN SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – Picking up a win on the mound despite giving up seven runs is about as rare as an injury in a dizzy bat race. Fans saw both at High Point University on Tuesday evening. Ledford alum Nick Oelker was the beneficiary of N.C. A&T’s eight-run eighth inning as the Aggies topped the Panthers 13-8 in midweek nonconference action at Williard Stadium. For Oelker, who came in with a 1-4 record, was thrilled to earn the victory just a few miles from his old stomping grounds. “It means a lot,” Oelker said. “Most of my friends and family came to this one, and they were here to watch. I mostly pitch midweek, and when we go away they don’t get to come. So it’s nice to pitch so close to home.” Oelker’s former teammate, Murray White IV, did his part to stake the Panthers to a 7-3 lead after seven innings. White doubled, drove in two runs and got plunked as High Point seemed to be in complete control most of the evening. But the Aggies, who left the bases loaded in the seventh, came all the way back an inning later. George Hines started the rally with a two-run double, Dario Little plated him with an infield single moments later, and Marquis Riley blasted a three-run homer to get the Aggies within 7-6. Lester Rivenbark made it hurt with a tworun bomb to left to give A&T its first lead of the game. Max Fulginiti led the Panthers at the plate with four hits. High Point, which travels to Elon on Wednesday, fell to 18-21. A&T moved to 16-21.

Panthers schedule unveiled BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

CHARLOTTE – What is not on the Carolina Panthers’ 2010 schedule stands out as much as what is. Not surprisingly in the wake of last year’s 8-8 record and third-place finish in the NFC South, the Panthers are not slated for appearances on Sunday night or Monday night, according to the slate announced by the NFL on Tuesday. The Panthers were not totally shut out of prime-time telecasts. They will play a Thursday night game televised by the NFL Network at Pittsburgh on Dec, 23. The schedule makers were also not kind in another regard, preventing Carolina from either opening or closing the season at Bank of America Stadium. In fact, the last two games are on the road – at Pittsburgh and

at division-rival Atlanta on Jan. 2. Carolina will have one honor in opening the season on the road as the Panthers serve as the New York Giants’ first regular-season opponent at the New Meadowlands Stadium. The Panthers open their home slate the next week against division rival Tampa Bay – starting a stretch of six home games in 10 weeks that includes an open date on Oct. 17, the same weekend as the fall Cup race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Following the Tampa game, the stretch includes a home game against Cincinnati, a trip to Super Bowl champ New Orleans, hosting Chicago and former Panther defensive end Julius Peppers, the bye week, hosting San Francisco, traveling to St. Louis, hosting the Saints, going to Tampa and hosting Baltimore. Four of the last six games are on

the road, In the last six weeks include road games at Cleveland and Seattle, hosting the Falcons and Arizona (and former High Point resident Adrian Wilson) before the trips to Pittsburgh and Atlanta. “We will have a young team and opening against the Giants on the road will be an exciting challenge,” coach John Fox said in a statement. “So much can change during the course of a season that it’s difficult to say how a schedule will play out, but it is good to know the flow of how the games are scheduled.” All the afternoon games are currently slated for 1 p.m. starts, except for a 4:15 kickoff at Seattle. Six games late in the season could be moved to Sunday night if chosen by NBC for its weekly game or to a 4:15 start. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Storm embraces unprecedented success BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

LEXINGTON – For coaches and players at Davidson County Community College, Tuesday night validated a series of accomplishments three years in the making. An elegant banquet held inside the campus’ brand new Conference Center honored the 2009-2010 women’s volleyball and men’s basketball programs for reaching national prominence in just the third year of DCCC athletics. “We had special teams and a special year,” Storm basketball coach Matt Ridge proclaimed before a large crowd Tuesday.

Volleyball coach Kevin Hammond seconded his opinion. DCCC’s volleyball squad finished the season with a 19-9 overall record and a perfect 6-0 mark as Tarheel Conference Champions. Upon completion of its unblemished conference title, the Storm went on to become Region X and District H Champions before qualifying as an NJCAA Elite 8 Finalist. Among the multitude of individual achievements, DCCC had three players – Logan Ballue, Whitley Saintsing and Katie Watkins – to earn first team AllConference honors. Watkins represented the school as Region X player of the year.

“I have a terrific group of girls,” Hammond said. “Every woman who was on this team was their high school’s best player. You always worry about (chemistry), but the team I had this year sacrificed themselves for team success.” DCCC basketball also enjoyed an incredible season, highlighted by a 21-game winning streak over three months, a streak that culminated in Tarheel Conference, Region X and District 7 Championships. The run came to an end during the NJCAA Division III national tournament. The Storm dropped three contests by a combined mar-

gin of 12 points to finish eighth in the nation among D-III junior colleges. Roderick Geter finished his career as DCCC’s all-time leading scorer, surpassing Justin Strickland and Eric Potts, Phillip Williams and Justin Glover all made the All-Conference and All-Region teams. Glover also joined Kimani Hunt and Robbie Rives on the AllFreshman squad and became a Third Team All-American. Collectively, the outgoing sophomore class won 54 basketball games in two years. “Awards are a byproduct of having a great team,” said Ridge – 2010 District 7 Coach of the Year.”

HIT AND RUN

BASEBALL NY METS CHICAGO CUBS

hen Colorado ace Ubaldo Jimenez no-hit the Braves on Saturday night, it reminded me of one of the oddest statistics in big-league history. The San Diego Padres remain the only team in the majors without a no-hitter or a player to hit for the cycle. That’s mind-boggling. There have been 288 cycles – a batter who hits a single, double, triple and homer in the same game – in major-league history to go along with 264 no-hitters. The only teams without a no-hitter are the

Tampa Bay Rays, New York Mets and the Padres. The only teams without a player to hit for the cycle are the Florida Marlins and the Padres. Think about all of the great pitchers who’ve played multiple seasons for the Padres: Gaylord Perry, Eric Show, Randy Jones and Jake Peavy come to mind. But when you consider the top-flight hitters in Padre history, the lack of a cycle is even more amazing. Hall of Famers Dave Winfield and Tony Gwynn never hit for the cycle. Neither did

Steve Garvey, Rickey Henderson, Nate Colbert or Graig Nettles, who each spent part of their standout careers in San Diego. No cycle for Kurt Bevacqua or Joe Lefebvre. Or Terry Kennedy or Shawn Abner. Or Jack Clark, Jerald Clark, Jermaine Clark, Phil Clark or Tony Clark. The law of averages suggests the Padres, who began play in 1969, have to toss a no-hitter or ride a big-league cycle eventually. But if it hasn’t happened after 41 years...

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

Lorena Ochoa is retiring, just as Annika Sorenstam did two years ago, leaving the struggling LPGA Tour without its No. 1 player again and depriving the sport of one of its great ambassadors. Ochoa, probably the bestknown athlete in Mexico who is not a soccer player, announced her surprise decision Tuesday and will discuss her plans Friday. The 28-year-old Mexican got married last year, setting off speculation she might be putting golf aside to raise a family. She has been No. 1 in the world the last three years and won 27 times over the last six. The LPGA said it would not comment until Friday’s news conference. Ochoa is scheduled to play next week in the Tres Marias event in Morelia, west of Mexico City. It was not clear if she would play there or if this month’s Kraft Nabisco Championship in California, where she finished fourth in the year’s first major, was her finale. Sorenstam was 37 when she retired in May 2008.

HPU men hold third in Big South golf

Brown: Magic not taking Bobcats â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;seriouslyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; enough ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Charlotte Bobcats coach Larry Brown assembled his team for practice Tuesday, delivering a fiery message to his players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesterday, Orlando took the day off,â&#x20AC;? Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how ... seriously theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking us.â&#x20AC;? Brown and the Bobcats are looking for the franchiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first playoff victory. And he is making sure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to work for it. While the Magic didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t officially practice Monday, most players worked out at the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facility. Charlotte had organized team practices during both off days, searching for any means necessary to even the series. Game 2 is tonight. Charlotte swingman Gerald Wallace went out of his way for the second straight day to make sure it was known his team is not intimidated by the Magicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dwight Howard, who blocked nine shots in the opener and won the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive player of the year award for the two years in a row. Charlotte also might be a little banged up. Stephen Jackson is expected to start despite hyperextending his left knee in Game 1. He said he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear any kind of brace around the knee, and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect the injury to hamper his mobility too much.

Howard earns consecutive NBA defensive awards ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dwight Howard won his second straight NBA defensive player of the year award Tuesday after becoming the only player to lead the league in blocks and rebounds in the same season twice â&#x20AC;&#x201C; let alone in consecutive years. The Orlando Magicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AllStar center received 576 total points, including 110 first-place votes from a panel of 122 writers and broadcasters. Atlantaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Josh Smith was second with 136 points, and Charlotteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gerald Wallace finished third with 113 points.

Johnson, Smith lead Hawks past Bucks ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With Joe Johnson and high-flying Josh Smith leading the way, the Atlanta Hawks avoided another Game 2 letdown. Johnson took control in the fourth quarter to finish off a 27point effort, Smith finished one assist shy of a triple-double and the Hawks ran away from the pesky but outmanned Milwaukee Bucks for a 96-86 victory in the Eastern Conference playoffs Tuesday night. Atlanta was mindful of last season, when it blew out Miami in its playoff opener â&#x20AC;&#x201C; then lost at home and had to go the full seven games. This time, the Hawks took care of business. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll head to Milwaukee on Saturday night with a commanding 2-0 lead.

NFL opener: Super Bowl champ Saints vs. Vikings NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints will get an early test when they host the Minnesota Vikings in the NFL season opener, a rematch of their thrilling NFC championship game decided in overtime. That nationally televised game will be Thursday night, Sept. 9. New Orleans won its first conference title by beating Minnesota 31-28 on a 40-yard field goal by Garrett Hartley 4:45 into overtime. The Saints went on to defeat the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 in the Super Bowl. The Saints also will play at Dallas on Thanksgiving Day; the Cowboys handed New Orleans its first defeat after 13 victories last season. In an effort to make late-season games more meaningful and avoid teams sitting out regulars once they have clinched a playoff berth, the NFL set up all intradivision matchups for the final Sunday, Jan. 2. That adjustment caused much of the delay in the release of the schedule this year; it normally is announced in early April or before. Indianapolis begins its 2010

schedule at Houston on the first full day of the season, Sept. 12. Another highlight that Sunday will be the regular-season debut of the new Meadowlands Stadium, with Carolina at the New York Giants. The next night, Baltimore is at the New York Jets in the same venue, followed by San Diego at Kansas City in what has become a traditional Monday night doubleheader to kick off the season. Two games will be played abroad: Denver vs. San Francisco in London on Oct. 31, and Chicago vs. Buffalo in Toronto the following Sunday, Nov. 7. The Jets also will host the Thanksgiving night game, against Cincinnati. Also on that holiday, New England visits Detroit. Donovan McNabbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first game as Redskins quarterback will be against a familiar foe: Dallas. The Cowboys visit Washington in the Sunday night game on Sept. 12. McNabb goes back to Philadelphia on Sunday, Oct. 4, the fourth week of the schedule and the first week with byes.

NINETY-SIX, S.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The High Point University menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf team shot 293 on the second day of the Big South Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Golf Championship on Tuesday to remain in third place with a twoday score of 590. Sophomore Curtis Brotherton carded a career-low 69 on the round to lead the Panthers on the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hit the ball better today because we were more used to the course which let us score a little better,â&#x20AC;? head coach J.B. White said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am proud of the way Curtis shot today. I feel good about where we stand and am looking forward to tomorrow. We had a couple guys that ran into some bad holes but all in all it is hard not to be happy sitting in third place when you are seeded seventh.â&#x20AC;? Brotherton had seven birdies as he shaved 10 strokes off his first-round score. The sophomoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous career-best on 18 holes was 70, which he shot on four different rounds. Brothertonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 69 comes just one day after junior D.J. Dougherty scored 69 in the opening round of the championship. It is the first time since joining the Big South that High Point has had two players break 70 in a single conference championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s round I went to the range and worked on my game and that helped me out today,â&#x20AC;? Brotherton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hit the ball the best I have all year. I made seven birdies and there were a lot of good things that I did out there. I have to get my putter working but I am definitely happy with my score today.â&#x20AC;? The Panthers secondround score of 293 is their second-best score on any round in the Big

South Championship. HPUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best single round score came in 2002 when the team shot 292 in the second round. Dougherty still holds the low individual score on the team after shooting 76 in the secondround to finish in a tie for seventh with a 36hole score of 145. Both Brotherton and junior Nick Goins sit three strokes behind Dougherty in a tie for 14th with identical two-round scores of 148. Goins followed an opening round 75 with a 73 on Tuesday, the second lowest HPU round of the day. Freshman Chase Wilson shot 75 in the second round and is tied for 23rd with a two-day score of 152 (77-75) while junior Evan LaRocque finished the day tied for 25th with a two-round total of 153 (76-77). Coastal Carolina shot 290 in the second round and still sit atop the team standings with a two-day score of 576. The Chanticleers lead by eight strokes over Charleston Southern which carded the low-round of the day, a two-under 286, to move into second place with a combined team score of 584. Liberty sits in fourth place after two rounds with a two-day score of 592, two shots behind HPU. Winthrop fell from second to fifth after shooting 308 in the second round to finish with a two-day score of 599. Presbyterian and Radford are tied for sixth with identical tworound scores of 602 while Gardner-Webb finished the day in eighth with a score of 607. The final round of the 2010 Big South Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Golf Championship will tee off at the Patriot Golf Club at 8 a.m. today. High Point will play in the final group of teams and will begin at 8:50 a.m.

Singlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to return to Duke was simple DURHAM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In the end, Kyle Singler made it sound simple. The Duke star wanted one more year of being a college student more than making an early jump to the NBA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have gone wrong with either decision,â&#x20AC;? Singler said Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With that, the pressure was lighter. Making my decision to come back to school, I feel really good about it.â&#x20AC;? Singler, the most outstanding player at the Final Four in Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run to a fourth national championship, said he tried to be open-minded about the decision, even imagining what life would be like if he stayed or if he left for the NBA. But the 6-foot-8 junior settled over the weekend on returning to savor the opportunity that comes with being a senior leader on a team aiming to defend its title. In a news conference, coach Mike Krzyzewski said Singler kept telling him and his parents three things while weighing the decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The No. 1 thing was â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and he said this to his mom more than he did to me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;I love Duke. I love going to school here,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Krzyzewski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The second thing was, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;I can get better. I want to be the best player when I do make that step and I think that I can improve here to do that.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;The third thing ... he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss out on the things that will happen to me as a senior.â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Krzyzewski said he and his staff reached out to about half the NBA teams to gauge where Singler might be drafted, learning that Singler would likely have been a middle to late first-round pick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s positive about Kyle,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kyle will be a pro. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a great player for us next year.â&#x20AC;? Singler averaged nearly 18 points and seven rebounds for Duke (35-5), which edged Butler 61-59 in Indianapolis for the national title.

Local governments pay price for Lehman WASHINGTON (AP) – Two lawmakers say Lehman Brothers’ historic collapse cost school districts and local governments millions, forcing many to make major cutbacks. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., said 40 municipalities nationwide lost around $1.7 billion after the firm went under. She is introducing legislation that would require the federal government to compensate those governments. At a hearing Tuesday probing what led to Lehman’s collapse, Eshoo said San Mateo County, which is in her district, lost $155 million. Lehman’s meltdown in September 2008 was the biggest corporate bankruptcy in U.S. history. It threw global financial markets into crisis.

Delta reports $256 million loss ATLANTA – Delta Air Lines Inc. blamed heavy winter storms and one-time expenses for propelling it to a $256 million loss during the first three months of the year, though it said Tuesday it expects a solidly profitable second quarter as the peak summer season ramps up. That assumes the severe travel disruptions in Europe from the volcanic ash cloud – which has caused the world’s largest carrier to lose $5 million a day, or $20 million so far – don’t intensify.

Oil prices rise as stock markets climb NEW YORK – Oil prices rose 2 percent Tuesday, rebounding from a two-week slump as stock markets rallied and the dollar fell. Benchmark crude on Tuesday added $1.89 at $83.34 on the New York Mercantile Exchange on the last day of trading for the May contract.

Coach earnings rise as affluent buy more NEW YORK – Coach enticed more of its shoppers to buy handbags during the first three months of the year, driving the luxury goods maker’s fiscal third-quarter profit up 37 percent. The solid quarter is the latest sign that wellheeled shoppers are increasingly in the mood to splurge after a sharp spending pullback during the recession. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

DILBERT

Another lawmaker said numerous governments suffered huge losses. “These were school districts and local governments that made investments that they believed were conservative,” said Rep. Ed Perlmutter, D-Colo. “They trusted that federal regulators were keeping a watchful eye on companies like Lehman Brothers.” The former chief executive for Lehman is scheduled to testify at the hearing, which will probe a bankruptcy examiner’s report that the firm masked $50 billion in debt. The examiner, Anton Valukas, criticized the company and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Lehman “was significantly and persis-

tently in excess of its own risk limits,” he said in prepared remarks. The SEC, meanwhile, “was aware of these excesses and simply acquiesced.” In his report last month, Valukas disclosed that Lehman put together complex transactions that allowed the firm to sell “toxic” securities – mainly those made up of mortgages – at the end of a quarter. That wiped them off its balance sheet, avoiding the scrutiny of regulators and shareholders. Then the bank quickly repurchased them – hence the term “repo.” Richard Fuld, Lehman’s former CEO, said he has “absolutely no recollection whatsoever” of any documents related to the so-called Repo 105 accounting maneuver.

Goldman earns profit as fraud case looms NEW YORK (AP) – Goldman Sachs reaffirmed its leadership among Wall Street banks as it reported its first-quarter profits doubled, but the news was overshadowed by the investment bank’s growing legal problems. As Goldman Sachs Group Inc. executives held conference calls with banking industry analysts and reporters Tuesday, the questions focused more on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s civil fraud charges against the company rather than its $3.3 billion earnings. And the company came under scrutiny abroad. Britain’s financial regulator said it had begun an investigation into Goldman Sachs International, the

bank’s London-based operations. The announcement from the Financial Services Authority follows pressure from Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who over the weekend accused Goldman of “moral bankruptcy” for planning to pay big employee bonuses despite the investigation. The SEC charges grow out of a 2007 transaction involving collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs, exotic mortgage-related securities that many analysts say helped accelerate the financial crisis and recession. The government said Goldman Sachs did not tell two clients that the CDOs they bought were crafted in part by billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson, who was betting on them to fail.

Amazon fights NC bid to track taxes RALEIGH (AP) – Online retailer Amazon.com says it’s taking a stand for free speech by fighting an effort by North Carolina tax authorities to identify buyers. The company says in a federal lawsuit filed in Seattle that North Carolina tax collectors have demanded information identifying the buyers of nearly 50 million books, movies, CDs and other items since 2003. A spokeswoman for the state Revenue Department

had no immediate comment Tuesday. Revenue Secretary Kenneth Lay was named in the lawsuit but was not immediately available for comment. North Carolina requires residents to pay taxes on online items if they would pay sales tax in a store. Amazon.com Inc. says revealing buyers’ names would harm customers who may have bought controversial books or movies and would diminish future sales.

Earnings, energy prices fuel stocks NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks resumed their advance after investors got the numbers they wanted from firstquarter earnings reports. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 25 points Tuesday for its eighth gain in nine days. Broader indexes posted bigger percentage increases after a mixed finish Monday. Investors set aside some concerns about the government’s civil fraud case against Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and looked to profit numbers. Beyond those reports, a bounce in the price of crude oil after a two-week slide helped energy stocks. Harley-Davidson Inc., industrial equipment maker Illinois Tool Works Inc., and regional bank Marshall & Ilsley Corp. rose after reporting earnings. Goldman Sachs said its first-quarter profit nearly doubled on higher trading revenue. However, the stock fell on concerns about the company’s legal troubles. After the closing bell, Apple Inc. said its first-quarter profit jumped 90 percent after it sold more iPhones and Macintosh computers. The stock rose 6 percent in electronic trading after ending the regular session lower. James Meyer, chief investment officer at Tower Bridge Advisors in Conshohocken, Pa., said stocks aren’t as likely to leap higher as they were even days ago because expectations have risen.

IMF trims estimate of losses WASHINGTON (AP) – The world’s banks could be spared billions in losses thanks to a global economy that is recovering from the financial meltdown more quickly than initially expected. The International Monetary Fund is forecasting that global bank losses from the financial crisis will total $2.28 trillion, a drop of $533 billion from an estimate made last October. The IMF said Tuesday that its forecast for losses just for U.S. banks had dropped to $885 billion, down from an estimate of $1.03 trillion made in October. The international lending agency attributes the improvements in part to a faster-than-expected rebound in the global economy. But the IMF warns that risks still remain,

especially in the area of government debt. A debt crisis in Greece is still roiling markets and raising concerns about huge debt burdens in other countries including the United States. “Risks to global financial stability have eased as the economic recovery has gained steam,” the IMF said in a new report. The document is being issued in advance of the spring meetings of the IMF and World Bank and finance officials from the Group of 20 major industrial and developing nations. The meetings, which will begin Thursday, are taking place against a backdrop that has significantly improved from a year ago when the world was still in the grips of the worst financial crisis since the 1930s.

Novartis reports 49 percent quarterly gain GENEVA (AP) – Boosted by strong sales of swine flu vaccine, Novartis AG increased its net profit by 49 percent to $2.95 billion during the first quarter, the drug maker said Tuesday. The results beat analyst expectations for a net profit of $2.49 billion. In the same quarter a year ago, the Swiss company reported net earnings of $1.98 billion. Novartis shares closed up 0.5 percent at 56.70 Swiss francs ($53.08) on the Zurich exchange Tuesday.

The company benefited from $1.1 billion in sales of swine flu vaccine during the January-March period, with overall sales increasing 25 percent to $12.13 billion from $9.71 billion last year. “All of our businesses are making good progress, particularly the sustained expansion in pharmaceuticals and the strong contributions from supply contracts for (H1N1) pandemic flu vaccines,” said CEO Joseph Jimenez.

World markets edge higher on earnings

Coca-Cola signs are seen at Pop’s Clam Shell in Alton, N.H., on Monday.

Coke profit rises on overseas gains NEW YORK (AP) – CocaCola Co.’s first-quarter profit climbed 19 percent as the world’s largest drink maker continued to expand rapidly overseas. That offset persistent weakness in the U.S. as shoppers skimped on buying soda, water, juices and teas. The results were weaker than analyst expectations. The company earned $1.61 billion, or 69 cents per share, in the quarter ending April 2. That’s up from earnings of $1.35 billion, or 58 cents a share, in the same period last year. Revenue rose 5 percent to $7.53 billion. Analysts expected earnings of 75 cents per share on revenue of $7.72 billion, according to Thomson Reuters.

Worldwide case volume rose 3 percent, with international case volume growing faster at 5 percent. The company has courted consumers in international markets as their economies improve, by pitching its drinks as an affordable luxury. In North America, shoppers have cut back on spending during the recession. Eurasia and Africa led international growth, with volume up 11 percent. India’s volume grew 29 percent and Turkey’s 18 percent. Elsewhere, Brazil’s volume gained 12 percent. The flagship Coca-Cola brand posted double-digit growth in Russia, Egypt, Brazil, India, Vietnam and the Philippines. About three-fourths of Coca-Cola’s revenue came

from outside North America in the quarter. North America is the world’s biggest soft drink market, but sales have been weak as people shift to juices and teas. Emerging markets are still key, and Coca-Cola is doing a solid job of getting people to consume more soft drinks by investing in its business there, said Edward Jones analyst Jack Russo. As those markets grow, the idle markets of North America and Europe will continue to be less relevant, he said. “There’s so much opportunity it’s almost frightening to think of,” he said. “And really, the U.S. and Europe just become sources of cash flow to fund these investments.”

LONDON – European markets largely pushed past their Asian counterparts Tuesday, rallying on upbeat economic and earnings data that for the moment eclipsed an earlier sell-off prompted by the U.S. government’s fraud case against Goldman Sachs & Co. London’s FTSE 100 was 1 percent higher, at 5782.99 while France’s CAC 40 rose by 1.3 percent to 4,023.14. Germany’s DAX rallied ahead by 1.6 percent to 6,260.17, pulled ahead by strong economic data from Europe’s largest economy.

Canada says higher rates are coming TORONTO – Canada’s central bank held its key interest rate at a record low 0.25 percent on Tuesday, but said the need is passing for record-low rates. The Bank of Canada said it is withdrawing its conditional commitment to keep the rate steady until July. The bank said the need for such extraordinary policy is now passing and it is appropriate to begin to lessen the degree of monetary stimulus. That sets the stage for a rate hike on June 1 when the central bank next meets. Canada could become the first Group of Seven country to raise rates since the financial crisis.
