This week, High Point-area students will join their peers for “On Stage!,” a talent showcase that will allow some of the best performers from local schools to take the stage in a large venue and perform for a big crowd. This three-part series looks at three local schools that will participate and gives the stories behind the scenes, from a drum-line group that hopes to restore morale for its school and shed its rocky past to a group of elementary school students who show a dedication beyond their years. And musicians and singers from one local high school hope to show off one of the school’s best-kept secrets. BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – When “On Stage!” a talent showcase featuring Guilford County schools and students, is held for the fourth year Thursday night in Greensboro, High Point area schools will be well represented. Four schools – Florence Elementary, Andrews and Ragsdale high schools and Penn-Griffin School for the Arts – will be among the 17 selected by audition to perform, and two of those schools each will send two groups.

The showcase is sponsored by Guilford Education Alliance, an independent nonprofit group that supports Guilford County Schools, to point to the value ON STAGE! of arts education in schools and to raise Local youth money for arts protalent in the grams. spotlight Peripheral ben■■■ efits are many, say teachers and students involved in this year’s show. Being selected is a point of pride for schools, teachers and students. Some of the students plan careers in arts performance, and they gain valuable experience. “It’s a chance to play in a huge venue, ... and they get an idea of what it’s really like in the ideal real world,” said Michael Connors, who leads the guitar group at Penn-Griffin that will perform. Several teachers whose groups have been in previous “On Stage!” shows said the way the showcase is organized and the backstage structure has grown more impressive each year and is an example for students of a professionally staged production. “I attended ‘On Stage!’ last year and decided I wanted to participate,” said Susan Moorefield, who leads the choral group at Florence

ment for Guilford Education Alliance. Nathan Street, arts curriculum specialist for Guilford County Schools, directs the production. ROTC students from some of the high schools act as guides to get students from holding areas to backstage. The fact that the show is not a contest with winners also is a plus, said Cheri Stokes, who leads the dance group at Penn-Griffiin chosen to perform. “Since it’s not a competitive thing, (students) can have fun, and everybody gets along, and they can meet other dancers,” she said. For the first time this year, visual artists will be represented, and their work will be displayed in the lobby of War Memorial Auditorium. Artists are judged, and the Superintendent’s Choice Art Award will be announced during the show. An average of $25,000 is raised from “On Stage!” each year, and a portion goes to arts programs in Guilford County Schools, Courts said. vknopfler@hpe.com | 888-3601

Officials select principal for new education center ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

JAMESTOWN – Kevin Carr will be the first principal of the new Meredith Leigh Haynes-Bennie Lee Inman Education Center, district officials announced last week. Carr’s appointment begins May 15. The $18 million school on the Jamestown Middle School campus at Harvey Road will open this fall. The school was named

after the late Meredith Leigh Haynes, a High Point native, and Bennie Lee Inman, a special education pioneer. Carr has been an administrator with Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools since 2000. In addition to his current role as an administrator at Smith Language Academy Middle, Carr has served as principal of Ranson Middle and as assistant principal at

Olympic High, Waddell High and South Mecklenburg High. During his tenure in Charlotte and previously in Missouri as a high school assistant principal and math teacher, Carr successfully improved school climate and culture, initiated and supported staff planning teams to improve instruction and strengthened wrap-around services to provide necessary sup-

port to at-risk students. In 1990, he was named “Most Influential Teacher” by the University of Missouri-Columbia. “Carr will be a tremendous addition to our school district,” said Terry Worrell, Central Region superintendent. “He has proven leadership abilities and will work hard to ensure all students are achieving educational excellence in our schools.”

Slight improvements in retail sales may combat some of the bad news, however, said Jesse Tron, a spokesman with the International Council of Shopping Centers. “We’ve started to see retail sales in chain stores are now coming back,” Tron said. “We just saw a 9 percent increase in March. Tron said that’s a good sign because most malls include major chain stores. It’s also doubtful that efforts to improve business in malls is over, McCully said. “A lot of chain stores still have major outlets at malls, and it is unlikely they will simply write-off these large investments,” he said. “So we can expect to see ongoing efforts to refurbish and revitalize malls as another strategy.”

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For Kevin Slocumb, the drum line at T. Wingate Andrews High School and its part in Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Stage!â&#x20AC;? talent showcase is more â&#x20AC;&#x201C; far more â&#x20AC;&#x201C; than one performance by 12 student percussionists. The kids, the drum line, the larger 50-member school band and Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chance to dazzle the audience with an ear-splitting, eye-popping performance are at the heart of why heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at Andrews as band director and what he hopes to accomplish. Slocumb is new this year to Andrews. He came from Fayetteville, where he taught eight years, specifically to help rebuild the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine arts program and, in turn, rebuild the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s morale, reputation and academic performance. His goals are lofty, but Slocumb seems to have a surfeit of energy and confidence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The band as a whole I feel is an integral part of school spirit and the morale of the school,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes the pulse of the school and dictates how they feel about their school. It is imperative you have a full band program that inspires excitement and gives students a reason to be proud of their school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to accomplish, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a low-performing school, obviously, and a majority of students are from low-income areas, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to raise morale through band and start a music production and (fine arts technology) lab. Fine arts gives students an opportunity to be creative, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big release from standard subjects.â&#x20AC;? Fine arts, he said, inspire students to excel in other areas of study. Participation this year in the drum line is not part of the regular school day, and the percussionists must stay after school to practice and often perform and travel on their own time. Still, Slocumb had no trouble getting students to join.

Now, the drum line is the best part of the band, which is in embryonic stages, he said. He makes it clear to the entire ON STAGE! group what he expects of Local youth their music, talent in the academics and spotlight conduct and â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; that he will help them excel. So far this year, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen improvement in all areas, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) level of performance was, by my judgment, mediocre at best, and mediocrity is something I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t condone; I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live with that,â&#x20AC;? Slocumb said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt charged to encourage them to raise their level of performance, and I gave them an identity, and fortunately for me, they ran with it. ... It flourished. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I set standards even higher than whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected. I check with (other) teachers; I call home. There are certain things I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tolerate, and I make it clear I expect them to lead the way, and every student who sees them understands, yes, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the band.â&#x20AC;? Slocumb said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking forward to Andrewsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; resurrection as a school, and he thinks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible to rebuild the name and reputation of the school in the eyes of the community, other schools and Andrews students.

The move comes as al-Sadr seeks to consolidate political power among Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shiites after a strong showing by his followers in March 7 parliamentary elections. The cleric, a staunch opponent of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, has emerged as a power broker who could play a key role in deciding the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next leader.

Ahmadinejad: Proposed sanctions not legal KAMPALA, Uganda â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad flouted any more United Nations sanctions on his nuclear program as illegal Saturday, insisting he will not submit to any such pressure based on the United States and Britain â&#x20AC;&#x153;lyingâ&#x20AC;? about the evidence. The Iranian leader, wrapping up two days of talks with Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, lambasted the Western allies for pressing for another round of U.N. Security Council sanctions against Iran. The council is preparing to consider a fourth round of sanctions on Tehran for its nuclear defiance.

New Zealand military chopper crashes; 3 dead WELLINGTON, New Zealand â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Three airmen are dead and a fourth seriously hurt after a New Zealand military helicopter en route to a military memorial flyover crashed on farmland north of the capital, Wellington, emergency services said today. Earlier, three Vietnam-era Iroquois military helicopters failed to appear at a scheduled fly past at a dawn service in the capital to commemorate the 95th anniversary of the landing of New Zealand and Australian troops at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I.

Suicide attack killed American soldier, US says KABUL â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The explosion that killed an American soldier on an Afghan military base this week was a suicide attack, the Pentagon has confirmed. It was not immediately clear how the attacker got into the base or how many people were wounded in Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blast. NATO referred questions to Afghan military officials because it happened on their base. On Saturday, Afghan Defense Ministry spokesman Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi said he had received no information that the attack was a suicide bomb. The Taliban claimed responsibility in calls to news organizations in Kabul soon after the blast.

Abbas calls on Obama to impose peace deal RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas called on President Barack Obama on Saturday to impose a Mideast peace deal, reflecting growing frustration with what Palestinians see as Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failure to wrangle concessions out of Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardline government. In an unusually blunt appeal, Abbas said that if Obama believes Palestinian statehood is a vital U.S. interest, then the American leader must take forceful steps to bring it about. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since you, Mr. President and you, the members of the American administration, believe in this, it is your duty to call for the steps in order to reach the solution and

Armenians mourn victims of mass killings YEREVAN, Armenia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hundreds of thousands of Armenians laid flowers Saturday at a monument to the victims of mass killings by Ottoman Turks, marking the 95th anniversary of the start of the slaughter. President Barack Obama called it â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of the worst atrocities of the 20th century.â&#x20AC;? Historians estimate that up to 1.5 million Armenians were killed by Ottoman Turks around the time of World War I. Turkey denies that the deaths constituted genocide, saying the toll has been inflated and those killed were victims of civil war and unrest. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Bret Michaels hospitalized with brain hemorrhage LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bret Michaels is in critical condition suffering from a brain hemorrhage, his publicist said Friday. Joann Mignano, Michaelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; New Yorkbased publicist, confirmed a report on People magazineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Web site that said the former Poison frontman was rushed to intensive care late Thursday after a severe headache. The report said doctors discovered bleeding at the base of his brain stem. Mignano said tests are being conducted but did not know where he was being treated. The 47-year-old glam-rock reality TV star had an emergency appendectomy at a private care facility for diabetics last week after complaining of stomach pains before he was scheduled to perform at Sea World in San Antonio, Texas. Michaels later wrote on his Web site that though the surgery â&#x20AC;&#x153;has taken its toll,â&#x20AC;? doctors expected him to make a full recovery. Michaels is currently a contestant on the third season of Donald Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NBC competitive reality show, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Celebrity Apprentice.â&#x20AC;? For the first six episodes, Michaels served as a lighting rod for the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s male team, avoiding being fired in the boardroom. Trump said in a statement Friday that he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;deeply saddenedâ&#x20AC;? to hear of Michaelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; condition.

Trump said. Before joining â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Celebrity Apprentice,â&#x20AC;? Michaels starred as the lothario on VH1â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lusty reality dating series â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rock of Loveâ&#x20AC;? from 2007 to 2009. For three seasons, Michaels searched for the women of his dreams amid a sea of implants, tattoos and thongs. He also served as a judge on the fifth season of the USA singing competition â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nashville Starâ&#x20AC;? in 2007.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Survivorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; contestant accused of shoving woman LAFAYETTE, La.

Lafayette police say Hantz was booked into

the parish jail early Friday after the incident in downtown Lafayette. The woman was not seriously hurt. Officers on patrol nearby were flagged down and interviewed several witnesses. Hantz was re-

leased later in the day. It could not be determined whether he had an attorney. Hantz was runner-up in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Survivor: Samoaâ&#x20AC;? series and is currently on the series â&#x20AC;&#x153;Survivor: Heroes vs. Villainsâ&#x20AC;? on CBS.

Air Force: Robotic spacecraft launched CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An unmanned Air Force space plane resembling a small space shuttle was launched on its maiden voyage into orbit, carried aloft aboard an Atlas 5 rocket Thursday evening, the service announced. The rocket carrying the reusable X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle lifted off at 7:52 p.m. EDT from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, an Air Force statement said. It called the launch of the winged spacecraft a success,

but released no immediate details of the missionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress. The space plane is to serve as a test platform for unspecified experiments and can stay in orbit for up to 270 days before gliding to an autonomous runway landing, the Air Force has said. The primary landing site is Vandenberg Air Force Base on the California coast northwest of Los Angeles. The mission length wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disclosed by the Air Force.

The X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle is launched from atop an Atlas V Rocket at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Thursday.

Finance leaders pledge to attack debt problems WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Financial leaders, with a nervous eye on Greece, pledged on Saturday to address the risks posed to the global recovery from high government debt.

Coast Guard: Oil leaking from well at blast site NEW ORLEANS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Coast Guard says oil is now leaking from the damaged well that fed a massive rig that exploded this week off Louisianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coast. Guard officials on Saturday estimated as much as 1,000 barrels of oil is escaping each day from the well head on the ocean floor, increasing the threat to the Gulfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fragile ecosystem. As recently as Friday, the Coast Guard said no oil appeared to be leaking. Rear Adm. Mary Landry said on Saturday that the leak was a new discovery but could have begun when the rig sank on Thursday, two days after the initial explosion. BP PLC, which leased the rig and is taking the lead in the cleanup, says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studying how to stop the leak. Eleven workers missing after the blast are presumed dead.

Scouts ordered to pay $18.5M in abuse case

PHOENIX (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Civil rights advocates vowed Saturday to challenge Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough new law targeting illegal immigration, saying it will lead to racial profiling of Hispanics despite the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assurance abuses wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be tolerated.

Candidate drops out of congressional race. 2B BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Rick Cornwell took care of performing his civic duty in short order Saturday morning. The attorney from High Point was among the first people to cast a vote in the primaries during the start of satellite early voting at the Roy Culler Jr. Senior Center. The Guilford County Board of Elections opened six extra locations for early voting Saturday, and the Culler Center serves as the lone poll for the High Point area. “It’s convenient. We happened to be out running errands, thought we would vote,” Cornwell said as he exited the polling place. Satellite early voting got off to a slow start Saturday at the Culler Center. Only four voters had cast ballots during the first 20 minutes. A handful of candidates and campaign volunteers were greeting voters outside the center on Hamilton Street near downtown. Dozens of campaign signs dotted the grassy median between the Culler Center and the street. Overall, early voting in Guilford County is noticeably ahead of the pace of the last non-presidential election in 2006. The total for the first six days of early voting in the primaries four years ago was 305 voters. This spring, the total for the first six days was 672 as of noon Friday, according to board of elections figures. But compared to the presidential-year primaries in 2008, early voting is significantly behind the pace. On

HIGH POINT – In the backdrop of Oak Hollow Mall being listed for sale, the future of retail in High Point may seem uncertain. But the mall’s problems may be due to consumers shifting their preference from malls to a downtown atmosphere or outdoor shopping centers, according to experts. “In part, this is a long-term trend,” said Michael McCully, associate professor of economics at High Point University. “Consumers and retail developers in recent years have preferred openair shopping centers over mall-based shopping.” Oak Hollow Mall opened in 1995, and, at the time, was one of the only major malls being built in America except for a mall in Jonesboro, Ark., that was built in 1993, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers. New mall construction has continued to dwindle, the ICSC reports. Aaron Clinard, chairman of the City Project, a group formed to revitalize the downtown High Point area, has seen two stores relocate from the mall to N. Main Street in the last six months. Both Bridgit’s Bridal and Destiny’s Wardrobe now reside in the 1700 block of N. Main Street. Clinard recognizes the importance of the mall but says the City Project won’t hesitate to welcome any new businesses to the Main Street area if a downtown shopping experience is what customers want. “I certainly think this may be a trend,” he said. “I think if you look at some of the newer shopping areas like the Friendly Center in Greensboro, you’ll see that.” Telissa Ward, owner of Destiny’s Wardrobe, said relocating her store has allowed her to give customers a more personable shopping experience. “In coming here, I can really get to know my customers,” she said. “You can do that in a downtown area. In a mall, there is a lot of traffic and noise and other things that keep that from happening.” Bridgit Miles, owner of Bridgit’s Bridal, said there are pros and cons to relocating from the mall. “You can make your own hours and set your own schedule outside of the mall,” Miles said. “But there is a flow of traffic through the mall, whether it’s kids going to the movie theater or just walking around, that you don’t have in this area yet. You really have to advertise to let people know you’re here.” “The City Project doesn’t want to do anything to harm the success of Oak Hollow Mall,” Clinard added. “It’s another important element to High Point. However, if it’s a trend that a mall cannot survive, we certainly want to be there at the forefront to keep stores here in High Point.”

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Cindy Livengood is humble when discussing her recent promotion. “It’s about the employees who day to day do the work on the front lines to serve the customers coming in the doors and businesses we serve,” Livengood said, referring to her reasoning of why she was named the new director of DavidsonWorks. Earlier this month, County Manager Robert Hyatt announced the appointment of Livengood as the director of DavidsonWorks. Livengood, who was promoted from her position as manager at Thomasville Job Link Career Center, has worked at DavidsonWorks for about 30 years. “We are very fortunate to

have such an outstanding employee such as Cindy step up and accept this important and challenging position,” Hyatt said. “Based upon Cindy’s excellent work history, her motivation level, her knowledge of the jobs programs, and her passion for our citizens, I am confident that she will be an asset to the Davidson County Workforce Development Board and that her appointment will enable DavidsonWorks to move forward in providing continuity of high quality services for the citizens of Davidson County.” According to its Web site, DavidsonWorks is a dynamic partnership of private and public resources with a successful track record of delivering work-force development solutions for individuals and business in Davidson County.

Jack Herer, advocate for marijuana legalization, dies at 70 MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

LOS ANGELES – Jack Herer, an energetic advocate for marijuana legalization who was a mesmerizing presence on the Venice Beach Boardwalk in California and achieved worldwide renown after he wrote a treatise extolling the virtues of hemp, died April 15. He was 70. Herer suffered a debilitating heart attack in September minutes after he delivered a typically pugnacious pro-pot speech at the Hempstalk festival in Portland, Ore., insisting that marijuana ought to be smoked morning, noon and night. “You’ve got to be out of your mind not to smoke dope,” shouted Herer, dressed in a green short-sleeved shirt and shorts made from hemp. “It is the best thing the world has ever had.” He never recovered and died at home in Eugene on

tax day. “Dad has not filed taxes in over 30 years, so it was wonderful he died on tax day, it really was,” said his son Mark Herer, president of The Third Eye, the family’s smoke shop and hippie wares store in Portland. Herer researched and wrote an exuberant book that became the bible of the movement to legalize hemp, a non-psychoactive strain of marijuana. “The Emperor Wears No Clothes,” which was first published in 1985, has sold more than 700,000 copies. In it, Herer wields extensive documentation to ridicule the government’s ban on hemp cultivation and to highlight the plant’s versatility as paper, fiber, fuel, food and medicine. The book made Herer into one of the most recognizable figures in the marijuana movement and converted him into a pop icon memorialized by a strain of cannabis.

TRIAD – One of the five Republicans seeking to unseat Rep. Howard Coble, R-6th, has bowed out of the race and endorsed a challenger in the primary. Small business owner Jon Mangin of Stokesdale has endorsed Moore County physician James Taylor. The GOP 6th District nominee will be decided in the May 4 primary, with the winner taking on Democratic challenger Sam Turner of Salisbury in the Nov. 2 general election. “My campaign determined that it had become unlikely that I would gain the nomination to represent the 6th District in this election. After very careful consideration, I have determined that the candidate who best reflects my platform and who has best energized the voter base is Dr. James Taylor,” Mangin indicates in a statement on his campaign Web site Saturday. Mangin told The High Point Enterprise that he plans to campaign for Taylor, who welcomed Mangin’s endorsement. Mangin’s decision leaves four active Republican challengers seeking to unseat Coble – Taylor, Guilford County Commissioner Billy Yow, furniture showroom manager Cathy Brewer Hinson of High Point and Jeff Phillips of Greensboro. Coble, the 13-term congressman from Greensboro and longest-serving current representative from North Carolina, is facing a primary challenge for the first time since he initially ran for the office in 1984. Mangin’s withdrawal takes place against the

Rep. Howard Coble, R-6th, until this year hadn’t faced a primary challenger since his first bid for the office in 1984. The 13-term congressmen now faces four active challengers with the withdrawal of Jon Mangin of Stokesdale – Guilford County Commissioner Billy Yow, Moore County physician James Taylor, furniture showroom manager Cathy Brewer Hinson of High Point and Jeff Phillips of Greensboro. The GOP 6th District primary is May 4. The 6th District has the highest concentration of Republican voters among the 13 congressional districts in the state. The district covers all of Randolph and Moore counties and parts of Rowan, Davidson, Guilford and Alamance counties.

backdrop of Taylor recently asking the other four challengers in the race to step aside and allow him to actively campaign against Coble alone. Taylor suggested his opponents bow out of campaigning because one candidate against Coble would have a better chance of winning than several challengers. Though Mangin is endorsing Taylor and ending his own campaign, his name will remain on primary ballots because it’s too close to the election to have his name removed. Also, balloting has begun for the primaries through early voting that started April 15.

Poll shows Tarheels divided on Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job performance MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

ELON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; North Carolinians surveyed last week in an Elon University Poll were closely divided when asked about Presi-

dent Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job performance. More people surveyed disapproved than approved of N.C. Gov. Beverly Perdueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job performance. More rated U.S. Sen. Richard Burr favor-

ably than unfavorably, though a little more than a third had no opinion. The poll was conducted Monday through Thursday. It surveyed 607 North Carolina residents and has a margin of error of

plus or minus 4.1 percentage points. Forty-eight percent of people surveyed said they disapprove of Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job performance as president. Forty-seven percent said they approve.

Other polls have shown Obama to be less popular in North Carolina. A Rasmussen Poll of North Carolina voters this month found 57 percent of people surveyed disapprove of Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job performance,

while 41 percent approve. Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popularity as measured by the Elon Poll was lower than indicated in February, which found 50 percent approved of his job performance and 45 percent disapproved.

Vatican to finance adult stem cell research

Hayworth Chapel

ROME (AP) – The Vatican is pushing for research of adult stem cells as an alternative to the use of embryonic stem cells, which the Catholic Church opposes because it maintains that the destruction of the embryo amounts to the killing of human life. On Friday, the Catholic Church threw its support and resources behind the study of intestinal adult stem cells by a group of experts led by the University of Maryland School of Medicine. The group wants to explore the potential use of those cells in the treatment of intestinal and possibly other diseases, and is seeking an initial euro2 million ($2.7 million) to get the project going, officials said. “This research protects

Hal Warlick, Dean of the Chapel at High Point University, will deliver a sermon, titled “Meeting Goals and Finding a Purpose,” during the special senior service at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday in Hayworth Chapel on the HPU campus.

life,” Cardinal Renato Martino said during a meeting with Italian and American scientists and health officials to outline the project. “I want to stress that it doesn’t involve embryonic stem cells, where one helps oneself and then throws the embryo away and kills a human life.” The church is opposed to embryonic stem cell research because it involves the destruction of embryos, but it supports the use of adult stem cells, which are found in the bodies of all humans. Human embryonic stem cells are produced from surplus embryos of in vitro fertilization procedures used to help infertile women get pregnant. Both are prized for their ability to morph into other kinds of cells,

Yesterday’s Bible question: How was the Abrahamic covenant enlarged in Genesis 22?

Cardinal Renato Martino gestures during a meeting at Rome’s National Institute of Health, Friday. The Vatican is pushing for research of adult stem cells. offering the possibility of replacing tissue damaged by ailments such as Parkinson’s disease. But adult cells are thought to be less versatile than embryonic ones, and scientists have had more trouble growing adult stem

cells in the laboratory than embryonic cells. Still, adult stem cells could be easier to use if they are taken from patients themselves, because the replacement tissue would have less chance of being rejected.

Answer to yesterday’s question: “That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.” (Genesis 22:17-18) Today’s Bible question: Find the only woman whose age at death is mentioned in Scripture.

LEONARD PITTS: Change in the human spirit is not inevitable. TOMORROW

Stealing campaign signs violates our rights, Bible People put signs up to show which candidates they want to vote for. Stealing these signs is taking away the rights of people who put them up. Stealing these signs is wrong, as well as illegal. And the Bible says stealing is a sin. DAVID BOVENDER Thomasville

United Way fund drive leader says thanks to community I recently had the honor and privilege of saying “thank you” to the incredibly generous community of greater High Point, as we celebrated the results of our 2009 United Way campaign: $4,336,572. Author and therapist Melody Beattie once said, “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and

creates a vision for tomorrow.” United Way’s vision continues to be a stronger, healthier and safer community. How fortunate we are that during a year of enormous economic instability, so many of the good people of High Point, Archdale, Trinity and Jamestown chose to support our 29 partner agencies that provide critical help to those in need and enrich our way of life. Through their gifts and volunteer service to United Way blessed are the lives of our neighbors who are given hope. Every gift to our campaign, large or small, is

Tricks occur when you least expect them

Perdue budget proposal lays A out cuts ome of the words in news reports about Gov. Beverly Perdue’s proposed budget were music to the ears of many taxpayers. • Trim another 2 percent (about $1.3 billion) in spending. • Eliminate or reduce dozens of program and requiring cash-strapped local school districts to make even further reductions. • Cut about 600 jobs (most of them already vacant positions). • No broad-based tax increases. • $86 million in tax cuts for small businesses. • Cut more than 20 inefficient or duplicative programs. And sweet music it is – as long as those same taxpayers currently aren’t beneficiaries of services being cut. A Civitas Institute poll shows that nearly two out of three North Carolina voters support spending cuts and freezing spending as preferred methods to balance the state’s budget. Fat chance that means anything to the General Assembly. As you might suspect, those same news reports indicate that you are going to hear quite a few sour notes in Perdue’s proposal. • Perdue favors a new transportation fund, “paid for mostly with higher fees,” according to The Associated Press, for urgent projects such as the replacing the Interstate 85 bridge over the Yadkin River at the Davidson/Rowan county line. For example, vehicle registration costs for car and truck owners would climb from $28 to $35. • The governor’s proposal asks school districts to absorb an additional $135 million in adjustments, which means that burden will be felt locally either in increased taxes or reduced or eliminated services. • Spending increases in education and other initiatives more than offset savings in other line items. • Spending on health and human services will rise. • WRAL points out that Perdue’s proposal includes a 3 percent spending increase over current, reduced levels. The News & Observer reports economic forecasters expect a deficit of at least $800 million and Perdue also proposed spending $86 million on programs meant to create jobs. No need to feel especially good about the cuts the governor has suggested nor to get your underwear all twisted over what you don’t like about her proposal. Simply recognize that the tune the governor is humming won’t sound anything like it does today once legislators get their hands on the proposal and manipulate it to suit their needs when the short session cranks up in May. We’re still pretty deep in the hole and, as usual, you are going to help bail us out.

they voted to reject it. Last year, the newspaper reported their pay raise was about $4,700. The Social Security recipients did not get a cost of living increase. My grandson said he read a report that said the reason was that there was no cost of living increase last year. If that was true, why did Congress get their automatic cost of living raise? Do I have my facts correct or have I been misinformed? Considering the terrible shape our economy is in, it appears to me it would be prudent for the members of Congress to vote to reimportant, and we are grateful for ject the next automatic pay raise! each and every one of them.

lmost every newspaper, at least once, hoping to inject some humor into the lives of its readers, has played tricks on its readers. I am happy to say that, during the 42 years that I have served as editor at four newspapers, I haven’t succumbed to urging by staff members to publish a fictitious story as a celebration of April Fool’s Day. The High Point Enterprise wasn’t immune to such shenanigans years ago, however, and gained considerable notoriety on April 1, 1949, when a couple of rookie reporters – Joe Brown, who later would serve as the newspaper’s editor for 17 years, and Joe Leslie – came up with “a scarcely believable April Fool’s Day tale about a 10,000-ton battleship of Japanese or German descent that had navigated its way to High Point’s City Lake,” according to an Enterprise historical account. “Appearing with a doctored photo under the headline ‘Mystery Ship Steams Into City Lake of High Point,’ the story claimed the ship had made its way from the Atlantic Ocean” via the Cape Fear and Deep rivers and sitting at anchor in City Lake some 100 yards offshore. Despite a final paragraph tipping off readers that the story was an April Fool’s prank, hundreds of readers didn’t read all the way to the punch line, instead driving out to the lake to have a look at the battleship,” history shows. Two weekly publications in the Triad – Yes! Weekly and The Rhinoceros Times – did play pranks on readers this spring. This excerpt from the WXII12.com Web site summarizes what Yes! Weekly was up to: “WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – WinstonSalem Mayor Allen Joines is not happy after YES! Weekly published an article about him as an April Fools’ prank. The article posted on the alternative newspaper’s Web site described a weeklong trip that Joines took to Las Vegas. It talks about his future plans to revamp the downtown Winston-Salem district to resemble the bright lights of the popular tourist city. The prank continued with a description of Joines’ fascination with Las Vegas and his idea to bring casinos to the city of Winston-Salem. Joines is quoted in the article as saying he heard that prostitution is now legal in High Point, however, legalizing prostitution is not in his plan for Winston-Salem. After the article was forwarded to him, the mayor responded on Twitter saying, ‘YES! Weekly tried to do an April Fools’ prank and only succeeded in demonstrating irresponsible journalism.’ Joines said anyone who reads headlines or just the quotes could be misled.” The Rhino really celebrated April Fool’s Day with front-page stories headlined, “High Point Breaks Away From

Guilford County,” “Intern Uncovers Testing Mishap” and “Greensboro In Running For New SUV Promotion.” Scott Yost wrote what I thought was an entertaining piece, laying out step OPINION by step how High Point officials were able to do Tom everything necessary for Blount secession and for the new ■■■ High Point County to begin operation on July 1, 2012. “City leaders were informed by a memo sent late Wednesday (March 31) that NC Gov. Beverly Perdue had signed the resolution that made the new county official” appeared in about the middle of the 50-inch story. That’s a major reason we avoid such shenanigans. A week after I brought the Rhino edition, labeled “April Fool’s Day, 2010” in the upper right corner of the page (just under the nameplate), into the Enterprise newsroom, HPE reporter David Nivens brought me the following message from a Rhinoceros Times blog : “The candidates running to represent the High Point area seemed less enthusiastic about consolidation in general – which shouldn’t be surprising to anyone since High Point is so much of a political island in Guilford County that, when the Rhino Times ran a front-page 2010 April Fool’s Day story that High Point was seceding from Guilford County and forming its own county, that story was bought hook, line and sinker by many readers. – Scott Yost, The Rhino Times, April 8.” The Enterprise inadvertently fooled some of its readers with a quarter-page photo (6A, April 20) showing the foggy sky above the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Fla. The lines under the photo noted that NASA managers had waved off the first landing opportunity for the space shuttle Discovery due to rain and low clouds in the area. About halfway up the picture in many copies of the paper, to some readers’ eyes, a hand was reaching out of the fog. Simple explanation: A photo, showing a buyer from Florida testing a Human Touch massage chair at the High Point Market was on 1B, the front page of the Local section. When the B section front and 6A (the back page of the A section) came together as they were coming off the press, the ink from the buyer’s hand rubbed off on the sky in the photo on 6A, making it appear that a hand actually was waving from the fog. Even when we’re not trying to be funny, funny things happen.

COMMENTARY THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE SUNDAY, APRIL 25, 2010 www.hpe.com

Get ready for the ‘debutante ball’ Meet Fred Phelps: T Democrat

iberals in the so-called mainstream media have a long history of bias, supporting Democrats while dishonestly portraying Republicans as extremists who favor the rich over the poor. More recently that bias has been used against a diverse group of fiscal conservatives known as the Tea Party. Unfortunately for liberals, the success of the national Tea Party movement is too big to ignore. So liberal journalists will continue to search for anything and everything that can be used to discredit the movement. Since there really isn’t much that can be used against the Tea Party, a few dim-witted liberals tried to get other dim-witted liberals to infiltrate the Tea parties by posing as right-wing radicals carrying offensive signs. That idea fizzled out after the infiltrator’s Web sites were exposed, including “The Reasonable Uprising in Greensboro.” Apparently these geniuses didn’t realize that conservatives know how to use the Internet too. For now anyway, liberals will OPINION have to settle for an old standard Mike – attempting to Hughes demean conserva■■■ tives by calling them angry. The “reasonable” liberals of Greensboro wrote, “Let’s celebrate the positive and peace and love in the face of anger.” An AP story in the Enterprise on April 16 began by saying, “the Tea Party movement will be for nothing if its members don’t convert their anger into action.” Another AP story the next day began with, “Former President Bill Clinton warned of a slippery slope from angry anti-government rhetoric to violence like the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.” Maybe Clinton never saw the thousands of angry liberals who carried offensive anti-Bush protest signs, many of which included the words “kill Bush.” Most of us have never heard the name Fred Phelps. There’s a reason for that. Most of us have heard about the despicable actions of the Westboro Baptist Church, the church that gained notoriety by protesting at the funerals of fallen soldiers. The protestors exhibit the kind of right-wing hatred that liberals love to put on display. Fred Phelps is the founder of this church – and a Democrat with a long history of involvement with the party. Liberal journalists try hard to protect Democrat leadership, but the actions of some Democrat leaders are too despicable to hide, Eliot Spitzer and John Edwards come to mind. It’s interesting to compare the way the liberal media treats right-wing hatred with the way they treat left-wing hatred. Most people are very familiar with the name Westboro Baptist Church, but not so familiar with the name Trinity United Church of Christ even though it’s the former home of Jeremiah Wright whom we all know very well. Wright is up there with Spitzer and Edwards, the liberal media couldn’t save him. But the media sure has done a good job of keeping Phelps’s party affiliation quiet. We’ve all seen the hateful actions of WBC members, but what about the TUCC crowd that was cheering wildly as Wright spewed his racist vitriol on camera? The liberal media has gone out of their way to point out the good that’s been done by TUCC, and they’ve also gone out of their way to cover up the hatred that exists in President Obama’s former church.

he dance begins. We’re not talking about the dance with the stars or even the recently concluded big dance from the NCAA in college basketball. The dance we’re watching is the annual state budget pirouette. It began with the governor laying out her suggestions for spending for the coming year. While Gov. Perdue’s posture and footwork were technically correct, the performance lacked a lot of details. In response, legislative leaders just as dutifully responded that the governor’s proposals are a good starting point, a mannerly thank-you bow in dismissing this partner before moving on. The real dance, the “debutante ball,” formally begins May 12 when all 170 legislators, appropriately attired and rehearsed, perform their steps, accompanied by a le-

gion of admirers with their own dance cards to fill. So we begin again the budget box step in anticipation MY SPIN of a spending plan hopefully Tom enacted before Campbell the beginning ■■■ of the new fiscal year. Between now and then, expect to hear the dance partners (House and Senate) posture about the lack of money, the tremendous needs and the tough decisions that must be reached. We’ve attended this cha-cha before and know how it ends. Later, rather than sooner, a handful of lawmakers will meet behind closed doors, make decisions and on very short notice require that the

entire Legislature vote on what they’ve decided. Gov. Perdue talked, as have legislative leaders, about cutting out low priority programs, but everyone knows that once an item is included in the continuation budget, few programs are ever eliminated. Behind every line item is an audience eager to defend their pet program. We must establish a zerobased budget process where every program regularly goes through an examination and priorities are established. This should involve hearings in which the public has the chance to participate and decisions are made in public. Such a process would lengthen the dance but would be much more pleasing. While state expenditures need change, the revenue side of the equation must also be reformed. Our leaders have

known this for years but have refused to address tax codes drawn when we were largely a manufacturing economy. Unless we are badly mistaken, the budget dance will play out this year as it has for many years. We will go through the motions, everyone understanding their role and somehow our elected officials will declare the process over and adjourn to their re-election campaign dances. But this ball is neither pleasing to watch nor a work of art. North Carolina deserves better than this annual cotillion of awkward missteps.

The limits of power Arbitrary control over our lives by government can go only so far

hen I first began to study the history of slavery around the world, many years ago, one of the oddities that puzzled me was the practice of paying certain slaves, which existed in ancient Rome and in America’s antebellum South, among other places. In both places, slave owners or their overseers whipped slaves to force them to work, and in neither place was whipping a slave literally to death likely to bring any serious consequences. There could hardly be a greater power of one human being over another than the arbitrary power of life and death. Why then was it necessary to OPINION pay certain slaves? At the very least, it suggested that Thomas there were limits to what Sowell could be accomplished by ■■■ power. Most slaves performing most tasks were of course not paid, but were simply forced to work by the threat of punishment. That was sufficient for galley slaves or plantation slaves. But there were various kinds of work where that was not sufficient. Tasks involving judgment or talents were different because no one can know how much judgment or talent someone else has. In short, knowledge is an inherent constraint on power. Payment can bring forth the knowledge or talent by giving those who have it an incentive to reveal it and to develop it. At more mundane levels, such tasks as diving operations in the Carolina swamps required a level of discretion

and skill far in excess of that required to pick cotton in the South or cut sugar cane in the tropics. Slaves doing this kind of work had financial incentives and were treated far better. So were slaves working in Virginia’s tobacco factories. The point of all this is that when even slaves had to be paid to get certain kinds of work done, this shows the limits of what can be accomplished by power alone. Yet so much of what is said and done by those who rely on the power of government to direct ever more sweeping areas of our life seem to have no sense of the limits of what can be accomplished that way. Even the totalitarian governments of the 20th century eventually learned the hard way the limits of what could be accomplished by power alone. China still has a totalitarian government today but, after the death of Mao, the Chinese government began to loosen its controls on some parts of the economy, in order to reap the economic benefits of freer markets. As those benefits became clear in higher rates of economic growth and ris-

ing standards of living, more government controls were loosened. But, just as market principles were applied to only certain kinds of slavery, so freedom in China has been allowed in economic activities to a far greater extent than in other realms of the country’s life. Ironically, the United States is moving in the direction of the kind of economy that China has been forced to move away from. China once had complete government control of medical care, but eventually gave it up as the disaster that it was. The current leadership in Washington operates as if they can just set arbitrary goals, whether “affordable housing” or “universal health care” or anything else – and not concern themselves with the repercussions – since they have the power to simply force individuals, businesses, doctors or anyone else to knuckle under and follow their dictates. Friedrich Hayek called this mindset “the road to serfdom.” But, even under serfdom and slavery, experience forced those with power to recognize the limits of their power. What this administration – and especially the president – does not have is experience. Barack Obama had no experience running even the most modest business, and personally paying the consequences of his mistakes, before becoming president of the United States. He can believe that his heady new power is the answer to all things. THOMAS SOWELL, a native of North Carolina, is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305.

Let’s get facts straight on health care law BY GARY PARKER

et’s take a look at this health care reform law. Turns out there is no take-over by the government. And what Armageddon? Far from adding to the debt, it’s projected by the nonpartisan and conservative CBO to reduce annual budget deficits. The death panels nonsense was a reference to the nearend-of-life counseling someone can get if desired. And there are no reductions in guaranteed Medicare benefits; only in Medicare Advantage benefits. In the first year of this health care reform law, children with pre-existing conditions will no longer be refused coverage. Also, small businesses can receive tax credits for providing health insurance. Dependent children can remain on their parents’ insurance until 26 years of age. It provides a $250 rebate when Medicare prescription drug plan beneficiaries hit the “donut hole,” provides access

to a high-risk pool for people who have pre-existing conditions and no health insurance, bars insurance companies from denying coverage when people get sick and bars insurers from setting lifetime caps. In 2014, it provides subsidies to families of four making less than $88,000 a year. In 2014, it begins covering 32 million Americans. It funds all this through savings in Medicare fraud and waste, an increase of nine-tenths of 1 percent on investment income, taxing those Cadillac plans, and an increase in taxes on high income earners making more than $200,000 a year. Interestingly, one of the organizations fighting reform was Conservatives for Patients’ Rights headed by Rick Scott, who was the former head of HCA, which was fined $1.7 billion by the federal government for Medicare fraud, and who himself makes more than $200,000 a year and spent

millions on anti-reform ads. Some have argued that this health care reform is a government take-over of our health care system. Yet, it adds millions of people to the rolls of private health insurance companies and some few to the Medicaid program. Some have argued that it’s being forced on the American people. Yet, most public opinion polls show that an overwhelming majority of people want to see health care reform; they just don’t like this particular bill. Well, it’s no wonder! Some took a voluminous and complex piece of legislation and trivialized it with such absurd terms as, “government take-over, Armageddon, death panels, reduces your Medicare.” Sarah Palin, the pied-piper of the Tea Party, called it a government take-over recently. Sen. John McCain said Americans “overwhelmingly oppose it,” whereas the polls already showed a shift in public opinion toward support as people learn more about it. We now read that

Republican politicians oppose the health insurance requirement, whereas for two decades they were for it because it was their own idea. And state attorneys general are suing the federal government over it. What does this tell us? That politics trumps common sense … they are against it now merely because Democrats are for it. Some famous person in history said, “The measure of a society is how it treats the least among us.” With the passage of health care reform, our country has finally met this standard on the health care of the American people. At the same time, we also slowed down the escalating costs of health care and their negative impact on the nation’s economy. And Republicans want to overturn that? Good luck with that in November.

Raleigh moves to become more bike friendly RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital city is moving forward with several initiatives to make it easier for residents to travel around town by bicycle, a newspaper reported Saturday. The city is adding bike lanes to more stretches of road and is waiting on a $150,000 matching grant to do more, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported. A bicyclesharing program also is expected to be available in the downtown area in the next few months. Raleigh is not among the handful of North Carolina cities recognized

by the nonprofit League of American Bicyclists as a bike-friendly community. Cary, Carrboro, Charlotte and Greensboro all have that honor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city is in terrible shape,â&#x20AC;? said Will Alphin, a Raleigh resident and bicyclist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They do have a lot of things on the books, but for whatever reason, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never gotten funded.â&#x20AC;? A pedestrian and bicycling committee was created last year to advise the City Council on making roads easier to navigate by foot and bike. Just two Raleigh streets have designated bicycle lanes, but city

transportation services manager Eric Lamb said every time a road comes up for repair or resurfacing, officials will take a look at changes to improve bike travel. Lamb said the public works department is waiting to see whether the city will get a matching grant that would set aside more than $150,000 to add bicycle lanes on existing roads or to widen roads. He said the goal is to get more than 300 miles of road with bike lanes. And the city is looking to make more bikes available for downtown riders.

TANNING TAX: Portion of health care law has salon owners worried. 2C

Made in the USA Consumers switching to American cars CINCINNATI (AP) – Buy American? That’s suddenly a good idea again to more car buyers. Toyota’s safety problems and a buffed-up lineup of offerings from Detroit’s Big 3 are rubbing the tarnish off car buyers’ perceptions of U.S. models. An Associated Press-GfK Poll shows that 38 percent favor U.S. vehicles while 33 percent prefer Asian brands, a significant improvement for U.S. automakers compared to four years ago. “Really, the American car industry has opened its eyes,” said Jose Nunez, 24, a customer at Planet Dodge Chrysler Jeep in Miami on

Wednesday. “And it’s really giving the people what they want, what they need. I think after all we’ve been through, definitely the three big companies are responding to it.” The findings provide fuel for U.S. automakers who are getting sales and swagger back after a bleak period of huge financial losses, job cuts and market share declines. General Motors Co. and Chrysler LLC needed government help just to survive. Watching an iconic American industry beaten down amid the Great Recession may be one reason Americans are giving U.S. automakers a closer look. “I think Americans are beginning to realize the significance of the America’s auto industry to its history and to its future, and we’re a bit more sensitive now to

what will be its fate,” John Heitmann, an auto historian at the University of Dayton. Veronica Sullivan, 41, typified that approach as she finalized the paperwork at a suburban Buffalo, N.Y., dealership on her new Ford Focus. “Keep the wages in the American hand, supplying jobs for Americans. Why not keep the cash flow where we are and benefit for ourselves?” Sullivan said. “And I think also that Ford, for myself, builds a really good car.” The poll results are encouraging to Tom Gill, who owns a Chevrolet dealership just off Interstate 75 in Florence, Ky. – in the heart of the so-called “Auto Alley” region loaded with auto-related businesses and plants. The veteran dealer often uses the American flag and

patriotic pitches in his advertising. “With all that said, the General Motors product line, the Ford product line, have just really been producing hit after hit,” said Gill, citing the Chevrolet Malibu and Camaro as current hot sellers. He says his sales are up 30 percent so far this year. General Motors CEO Ed Whitacre noted the optimism Wednesday at a factory in Kansas City, Kan., where he announced that GM was paying $8.1 billion in U.S. and Canadian government loans early. He also announced that GM will pump $257 million into expanded production at the Kansas plant and another in Michigan. Whitacre said the company is “designing, building and selling the best cars and trucks General Motors has

produced ever.” Peggy Hyatt, a 52-year-old worker at the Kansas City plant who moved there after being laid off in Georgia, echoed that sentiment. “We may have had hard times before, but now we’re coming back,” Hyatt said. The AP-GfK Poll was conducted in March, as Toyota reeled from the recall of more than 8 million vehicles around the globe and allegations that it responded sluggishly to safety concerns. In a December 2006 APAOL poll, 46 percent said Asian countries made superior cars, while just 29 percent said American automakers did. In both AP polls, Japan – home to brands including Toyota, Honda and Nissan – was by far the dominant Asian nation volunteered as producing the best cars.

EYES ON THE ROAD

----

BERLIN (AP) — Tired of spinning that steering wheel? Try this: German researchers have developed a new technology that lets drivers steer cars using only their eyes. Raul Rojas, an artificial intelligence researcher at Berlin’s Free University, said Friday that the technology tracks a driver’s eye movement and, in turn, steers the car in whatever direction they’re looking. Rojas and his team presented the technologypacked prototype under a clear blue sky at an airport in the German capital. The Dodge Caravan crisscrossed the tarmac at the abandoned Tempelhof Airport, its driver using his line of sight to control the car. The car’s steering wheel was turning as if guided by ghostly hands. The technology called eyeDriver lets the car drive up to 31 mph (50 kph). “The next step will be to get it to drive 60 mph,” Rojas said. Ultimately, however, the Mexican-born researcher is aiming for even more: “The biggest challenge is of course to drive in a city with pedestrians and lots of obstacles.”

Cherry Creek Tans owner Kristi Alpers reaches for a bottle of tanning lotion at her salon in Denver, Colo.

Proposed tax worries beleaguered industry DENVER (AP) — It’s prime season for tanning beds, when proms and spring beach vacations prompt young women to pack indoor salons in search of bronze skin to go with their new bikinis. But business is slow this spring. Health warnings about the skin cancer risks of tanning beds, combined with consumers forgoing nonessentials in this recession, have the nation’s estimated 18,000 tanning salons on hard times. Now they’re bracing for another hit: A 10 percent tax on tanning bed use starts nationwide this July, part of the federal health care overhaul. “Will I be here next year? I don’t know,” said Kristi Alpers, owner of Cherry Creek Tans in Denver. The tax will add 90 cents to a few dollars for a single tanning session, depending on the machine. It’s a fee she thinks will bankrupt her. “They’re trying to ban tanning totally. That’s what this is about.” Congressional tax writers project the tax will raise about $2.7 billion to

help expand health coverage to uninsured Americans over the next decade, and they’re betting that indoor tanners won’t be turned off by a few extra dollars. After all, customers already are paying sales tax on tanning lotions and oils. Why not the tanning service itself? “I don’t care how much it costs, I’m going to do it. I love it,” said Lisa Mailloux, who tans at Cherry Creek Tans. The health warnings don’t bother 57-year-old Kris Cruzen, a mechanic. “I’ve been tanning for 30 years, and look at me,” Cruzen said, stripping off his shirt before popping on protective eye goggles and climbing into a tanning bed. “I’m fine.” But the industry insists it’s in danger. Many momand-pop salons are going to close, says the Indoor Tanning Association, although the industry group doesn’t have figures. “The jury’s still out. We don’t know how the public’s going to take it,” said Greg Henson, owner of Heartland Tanning Inc., a Lee’s Summit, Mo., tan-

ning bed manufacturer and distributor. The government says the indoor tanning industry is peddling a known cancer risk. In March, advisers to the Food and Drug Administration recommended tighter controls on artificial tanning, ranging from requiring parental consent forms to banning use by younger teens. Last summer, the World Health Organization listed tanning beds as confirmed cancer-causers, particularly for teens and young adults. The tanning tax wasn’t in early versions of the health care bill. It was added after dermatologists persuaded powerful senators to substitute it for a proposed tax on cosmetic surgery. The “Botax” vanished, and the tanning tax took its place. “It was a revenue source that could have an overall impact on the country’s health,” said Jim Manley, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat who oversaw the final language.

The tanning industry was outmanuevered by a more powerful interest group. “For some reason, they want us all out of business,” said Tisha Schlochtermeier, who owns three Sun Connection tanning salons in Manhattan, Kan. “They just want to tax us to death.” Some in the medical profession would wear that charge as a badge of honor. Dr. Jeffrey Sosman, an oncologist who leads Vanderbilt University’s melanoma program, said health authorities would be happy to see tanning bed salons shuttered because of the tax. “It would be nice if it were the nail in the coffin,” Sosman said. “The more it can discourage usage of these tanning beds, the better.” But he doubts the tax will be the fearsome deterrent that salon owners fear. Sosman called efforts to discourage use by teen girls through parental warnings “a joke.” He noted that the industry is pushing back against medical research that documented the cancer risk.

HPU students learn from market ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

HIGH POINT – Amid the wheeling and dealing between market exhibitors and buyers at last week’s High Point Market, local college students got the chance to get some real-world experience. Students at High Point University have been involved with the furniture trade show for several years, and this spring was no different. For this year’s spring market, which ended on Thursday, several students signed up to assist companies looking for help in a variety of ways, from greeting guests, controlling traffic, handing out fliers and even dressing up in unique costumes to pique inter-

This year, several stu-

Higher revenue boosts Hasbro profit NEW YORK (AP) — Toys are increasingly making their way back into parents’ budgets, Hasbro Inc.’s results showed last week. A big spike in sales of girls’ toys and strong sales across the board helped Hasbro’s firstquarter profit nearly triple. Revenue from girls’

toys, including Littlest Pet Shop, My Little Pony and Strawberry Shortcake, rose 16 percent. The second-largest U.S. toymaker also said Monday that it is starting a $625 million share buyback program. Both Hasbro and Mattel Inc., the largest U.S. toy maker, reported strong first quarters.

How to manage the fragile worker BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

About 15 percent to 20 percent of the population is extremely sensitive, according to psychologist Paul Radde of Thrival Systems in Longmont, Colo. Many prefer solitary jobs, such as working on a night desk or as a veterinarian. How do you manage the fragile workers, or manage around them?

FINE LINE Avoid being a psychologist or social worker. Instead, be a person who keeps the individual on track by focusing on work. Nance Guilmartin, executive coach and business consultant at Boston’s Bridgewell Communications, advises you to step back: “Suspend judgment, even if you can’t understand why the person is having a hard time, and give the person the benefit of the doubt. You may never learn the source of the sensitivity.” “If the person is a co-worker,” Radde says, “the supervisor should ... make it clear to the person that there’s a difference between professional practice and personal behavior. Focus on what you have to do with a person, not what your feelings are.” Unnecessary accommodation causes problems for the in-

dividual and the organization. Walk that fine line. Erik Van Slyke, founder of The Solleva Group L.L.C., in Princeton, N.J., says that there is a choice – to engage or disengage. If you choose the former, you must be committed. Choose the latter and disconnect. Codependence isn’t a positive response or strategy. “Separate the person from the problem,” he advises. “Deal with the person, the emotional person, by listening. Deal with the (employment) problem once the person is ready to have a conversation. Create collaborative solutions.” Van Slyke’s reference to collaboration is critical. An emotionally fragile person often feels alone and at risk. While you can’t (and shouldn’t) spend your time “counseling” the individual, creating a sense of collaboration, of the two of you being in this together, helps tear down the wall of loneliness in the professional sphere. Let the warmth impact both of you.

LEGALITIES There may be potential legal complications when fragility gets in the way. Employment attorney Christopher D’Angelo of Vandenberg & Feliu L.L.P., in New York City, discourages employers from allowing employ-

ees to intervene: “Unwitting coworkers or supervisors who are too solicitous or paternalistic may commit discrimination or create a hostile work environment.” He points out that, under federal law, assigning “difficult or stressful work assignments” only to other employees might be discriminatory. “If an employer shies away from giving difficult assignments because of the perception,” he explains, “the actions could be viewed as denying the employee certain advantages, terms and conditions for professional advancement.” Note the use of “perception.” Radde, the psychologist, would concur. He indicates that indulging the person protects him or her, “only to be punished by not having to engage in the professional practices one needs to know and do.” In other words, pseudo-psychologists, dismount. Radde mentions that the person who hired the employee is ultimately responsible, because that individual was to assess the person’s “capability.” D’Angelo confirms that not hiring the person only because of the disability or the perception of it would have been discriminatory. “If the personal behavior is such that they start to shake and shout, instead of being able to

SPECIAL | WORKWISE FEATURES

Erik Van Slyke, with associates, discusses options for responding to fragile workers. He founded Princeton, N.J.’s The Solleva Group L.L.C. remain focused on the particular practice,” Radde observes, “they’re not engaging in professional practice, which is what they’re getting paid for. The more highly sensitive hide out. They need to confront their fears.” While HR might be obtaining EAP services for the individual, you still have work to do. Cre-

ate a safe professional environment filled with positive feedback and openness about work that must be done. Let one plus one equal sweet victory. DR. MILDRED L. CULP, Workwise Features, is an award-winning journalist. E-mail questions or comments to culp@ workwise.net.

Colquitt sets Kivett pace BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT – Bryan Colquitt shrugged off the jokes he heard in the Blair Park Golf Course clubhouse Saturday afternoon. Shooting a 66 has a way of making everything else a little easier to take. Colquitt, the former T. Wingate Andrews standout, used his 6-underpar round to take the lead at the 34th annual Bud Kivett Memorial City Colquitt Golf Championship. High Point University players Hogan Nance and Chase R. Wilson were second at 68, while a five-man group at 69 included two-time former champion Danny Southern, former Wesleyan Christian Academy star Addison Lambeth, former High Point Central and HPU standout Chase Wilson, and past Ledford High School leaders Michael Kochekian and Nick Goins. Six other golfers fired rounds of 70, while three others shot 71. Colquitt works three days a week at Blair Park, and after his morning round concluded, he got to work while catching good-natured grief from those inside. “I’m off cart duty,” Colquitt did allow with a smile. “I’ve got scorecard duty and computer duty, I guess.” His score was the lowest of the day to record and type in from 137 entrants thanks to six birdies, an eagle and only two bogeys. Colquitt opened with a birdie at the first hole and

an eagle at No. 2. Another birdie at seven was followed by a string of pars before Colquitt got three straight birdies from the 14th to the 16th. He closed with a bogey at 17 and a birdie on the 18th. “The past couple years I’ve struggled out here in the first round. I think I was trying too hard,” said Colquitt, who grew up playing Oak Hollow all the time and is more comfortable with the site of today’s final round. “I just played smart, didn’t get myself in too much trouble.” Colquitt credited “half” of his good round to pointers gleaned from Jay Hoover during a practice round Friday. Hoover owns four Kivett championships. Southern is a two-time winner, in 1988 and 1995, but the 54-year-old is back in contention despite taking more putts than he would have liked Saturday. Starting on No. 10, Southern birdied 16 and 18 to make the turn at 2under and made another birdie at No. 1 before bogeying the second. Birdies followed at Nos. 3 and 7 along with a bogey at the fourth. “It’s nice to be at the top of the leaderboard again,” Southern said. “Playing with these young bucks, their limber backs – they can hit it a mile. “Just goes to show some of the older guys can still play a little bit,” DON DAVIS JE. | HPE Southern added with a Marc Cox, the 2001 Bud Kivett champion, follows his putt during Saturday’s first round of chuckle.

TALLADEGA, Ala. – Things often happen in a big way at NASCAR’s biggest track. Typically, that applies to crashes more than anything else at Talladega Superspeedway. It applied to the weather on Saturday. With rain falling and the threat of severe weather looming, officials called off qualifying for today’s Cup race and the 312-mile Nationwide race in mid-morning, about an hour before the qualifying session was to begin. The Nationwide race was rescheduled for this afternoon at 4:30 p.m. local time (5:30 EST on ESPN2) following the Aaron’s 499,

Inside...

Jeff Gordon targets elusive win. 2D setting up the second doubleheader for NASCAR’s top two divisions in seven days. The Cup race is to get the green flag a little after 1 p.m. Eastern (WGHP, Ch. 8). The Cup starting field was set by the rule book. The top 35 will line up on owners points, putting Jimmie Johnson on the pole with Matt Kenseth beside him. The race will be the first restrictor-plate event since NASCAR decided to ditch the rear wings on its new generation car and revert to the old-style blade spoiler.

“It’s going to be a crazy race,” Greg Biffle said after Friday’s drafting sessions in practice. “The closing rate (when one car is pulled toward the one in front of it in the aerodynamic draft) is very, very fast. Two cars can get hooked up (with one closely following another) and they can really stream away from the field quickly. The way to explain it is like being in the slow lane and guys are going 85 beside you. It’s going to be challenging. “I think the biggest challenge is when those two cars get pushing back in the pack and they get cut off. How are guys going to slow quickly enough?” Biffle and Matt Kenseth both said it is hard for a driver to see

over and around the spoiler of the car directly in front of him. “You can see over it a little bit better than you could with the wing,” Kenseth said. “But it is so wide, it is hard to see around people when you get two cars hooked up and they are running five miles an hour faster than the rest of the field. That’s a little nerve-wracking if you are in the car pushing someone.” Harvick will start from the pole in the Nationwide race, flanked by Carl Edwards. In the second row are rookie drivers Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (in a Roush Racing car) and Steve Arpin in the No. 7 from JR Motorsports that Danica Patrick drove at Daytona. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

HIT AND RUN

Inside...

Rain wreaks havoc on Talladega schedule

---

TOP SCORES

rivers take for granted there will be at least one big wreck in today’s Cup race at Talladega Superspeedway. That’s just one of the brutal facts about restrictor-plate rules which leave everyone running the same speed and bunched together in the aerodynamic draft. One slight miscalculation or tire failure and boom, a dozen cars turn to balls of twisted metal. “Things are so much out of your hands,” Juan Pablo Montoya said. “So much is about being in the right place at the right time. Make sure they don’t wreck in front of you or they wreck in the other lane or you are ahead of the wreck or you are so far behind it that you don’t get involved. You are going so fast that if they wreck and they are in your path,

you are going to hit them. You aren’t going to slow down. There isn’t much you can do.” Even if a driver thinks he’s made the right decision to avoid a wreck, it isn’t always enough to avoid calamity. Mark Martin appeared to have dodged a crash near the end of Talladega’s race last fall until a spinning car clipped his Chevy in the right rear. Martin flipped for the first time in his career. Instead of heading for a decent finish and keeping pace with points leader Jimmie Johnson, Martin’s car headed to the scrap heap. Martin, who has seen racing evolve at Talladega over nearly 30 years from a test of brute horsepower to an exercise in aerodynamics and drafting luck, tries not to worry

much about what might transpire today. “I certainly don’t want to turn over again,” Martin said. “I’m just going out there and see what happens. The racing has changed so much over the years that it doesn’t really matter. Back in the day, only about 20 percent of the field was fast enough to be a contender. Nowadays, everybody is fast enough. It just matters what goes down at the end. I don’t really care how my car runs. I just want to be lucky.” Lucky enough to escape a wreck. Lucky enough to get in the right line and blast into the lead coming to the checkered flag. That’s all that matters today.

Nelson, Magic beat Bobcats for 3-0 lead

Jeff Gordon eyes an end to his lengthy Cup Series winless streak this afternoon at Talladega Superspeedway.

Gordon hopes breaks go his way T

he breaks that once went Jeff Gordon’s way haven’t this season. With a little bit of luck, he could be coming into Talladega Superspeedway riding a three-race winning streak. He could have broken his losing streak that stands at 37 races since he won in April of last year at Texas, his only victory since the fall race at Charlotte in 2007. The three wins would have Gordon at 85 victories and third all time behind Richard Petty and David Pearson. Instead, he saw a chance to steal an overtime victory at Martinsville go away when he was bumped by Matt Kenseth and then got into a bumping match with Kenseth as Denny Hamlin went into the lead. He got the lead at Phoenix when he didn’t pit during overtime, but watched Ryan Newman drive away on the restart. On Monday at Texas, he dominated before getting turned into the wall by Tony Stewart while trying to thread through a pack of traffic with 18 laps to go. Back in his heyday in the late 1990s when he could do little wrong, Gordon more than likely would have threaded his way to those victories. Now, his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson owns all the luck. Johnson has three wins this season, one of them directly related to good fortune thanks to a caution flag that enabled him to go from also-ran to contender and winner at California. The incident with Kenseth and one at Texas in which Gordon banged his way past Johnson prompted speculation the losing and not being able to stay in the neighborhood of Johnson’s success since the end of the 2007 season

might be stirring some frustration and renewed determination in Gordon. Gordon maintains his aggressive driving is more the product of having the best equipment since that SPORTS 2007 season when he lost the championGreer ship to Johnson by Smith 77 points and scored ■■■ six victories, second that year to Johnson’s 10. Since the end of that season, Johnson has 17 wins to Gordon’s one. “On the track, when I’ve got a car that has been as strong as these cars have been this year, I have to get everything out of it I can,” Gordon said during preparations for today’s 500-miler at Talladega Superspeedway. “I have to be more aggressive with those opportunities.” Gordon got aggressive with Johnson at Texas by using air to make Johnson’s car wiggle out of the groove, shooting to the inside of Johnson’s car and then not giving an inch when Johnson tried to cut back in line. The banging together left a doughnut mark on Johnson’s car. Johnson doesn’t believe Gordon was any more aggressive than at other times in his career, recalling how Gordon used the “bumpand-run” to beat Rusty Wallace at Bristol. “When he’s in position to win a race, he is one of the best at putting guys in compromising positions,” Johnson said. “He’s very smart at doing that. That’s not a knock on him. I don’t like what he has done to me at times, kind of like that thing the other day. ... I’ve seen that aggression in years past

and now that everything is really buttoned up on that team and those guys are competitive, he’s taking those opportunities.” Having a better car makes Gordon more visible than he was on the way to finishing seventh and third in the last two Chase for the Championship runs largely on consistency. “I don’t feel like I’m driving much different than I did (in 2007),” Gordon said. “The last couple of years, we just haven’t had it like we do this year.” Chances of a full-scale breaking out between the two are slim, they claim. Gordon cited car owner Rick Hendrick as the big equalizer. “We have a mediator in Rick when things go too far,” Gordon said. “We know we have to be careful at crossing the line. When you are on the track you want to do everything possible to win. Sometimes, you push things too far. “I think that’s what happened last weekend, and why it is good that Jimmie and I can communicate about it. ... Jimmie and I are friends, so that makes it easier for us. We know that our intentions are to go out there and win. There are times that you need to leave that out on the track.” Said Johnson, who owes his ride at Hendrick in part to Gordon: “It really boils down to when something irritates you, you need to say something about it and communicate in order to preserve the team, the company and the big picture of things.” The big picture is that the student is now outshining the driver who was his mentor.

Daytona set for track makeover BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

THE MOTORSPORTS NOTEBOOK: TALLADEGA, Ala. – Daytona International Speedway officials announced Saturday that they will trust their paving patch job for just one more Cup race. The 2.5-mile speedway, which developed a pothole during the Daytona 500, will be repaved following its race weekend in July. Completion date for the repaving is Jan. 1. The track, which was last repaved in 1978, developed a gash in turn one during the 500. The material used in the first attempt to fill it came up, forcing a second lengthy stoppage. Speedway officials said the decision to repave came after a thorough evaluation of the track. All of the existing asphalt will be removed down to the original lime rock base. Concrete will be used to repave pit stalls. An October motorcycle race, Richard Petty Driving Experience dates, test sessions and track rental have been cancelled for the rest of the year. The facility’s annual go-cart races in December will be limited to events that do not use the 2.5-mile layout. Dale Earnhardt Jr., a two-time Daytona winner in Cup points races, applauded the decision to repave. He believes that a new surface will make how well cars handle less of an issue.

“We will be side-by-side and have the ability to race and run side-by-side for a longer period of time on new tires,” Earnhardt said. “Usually, you wouldn’t be able to run side-by-side after about 10 laps. We should have a lot more grip and be able to challenge each other for position a little more easily for a longer period of time. I still think with the shape of Daytona and certain characteristics of the transitions (from the turns to the straights), still near the end of the run it could probably still, even at the first race, provide the drivers with handling aspects to be concerned with. We’ll just have to see.”

FIRST OF THREE Today’s postponed Nationwide race will be the first of a three-race deal for Scott Wimmer in the Baker-Curb No. 27 Ford usually driven by Greg Biffle. The other races are at Nashville and Kentucky in June. “I am happy we got this deal done,” Wimmer said. “We have been talking with the guys at Baker-Curb Racing for some time now. We are trying very hard to keep the momentum going this season and lay the groundwork for as many races as possible this season and have those results lead us into a full-season deal for 2011.” Today’s race will be Wimmer’s third this season. He drove JR Motorsports’ No. 7 at Bristol and Nashville. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

CHARLOTTE (AP) – In front of a boisterous, hostile crowd and facing a team in desperation mode, the Orlando Magic showcased their depth, grit and poise when it mattered most. Imagine how good they could be if their superstar center played more than half the game. No Dwight Howard, no problem for the Magic, who got 32 points from sudden star Jameer Nelson to overcome another frustrating, foul-filled game by their big man in a 90-86 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Saturday. Spoiling Charlotte’s return to the playoff stage after an eightyear absence, the Magic took a commanding 3-0 lead in their firstround series despite being without Howard for the final 3:32 after he fouled out. “You’ve got to admire them with Dwight getting foul trouble and fouling out how they still didn’t fold,” Bobcats coach Larry Brown said. “They were disciplined and executed. They got a well-deserved win.” For the third straight game and two days after Orlando was assessed $70,000 in fines for complaining about the officiating, Howard played about half the game, finishing with 13 points, eight rebounds and seven blocks. After Howard was sidelined for good, Nelson had a key bucket and backup center Marcin Gortat hit two free throws with 12 seconds left to put it away. The defending Eastern Conference champions can clinch a spot in the second round with a win in Game 4 on Monday. “I think this is a big test for me, learning how to keep my composure in tough situations,” said Howard, who has played in only 83 of 144 minutes in the series because of chronic foul trouble. “Things may not go my

way, but we’re playing for something bigger.” Stephen Jackson scored 19 Nelson points, but was 6 of 18 from the field and missed a key 3pointer in the final minute for the cold-shooting Bobcats, who face the prospect of a first-round sweep in their first playoff appearance. Charlotte hadn’t hosted a playoff game since the Hornets’ last year here in 2002, and towelwaving, white T-shirtclad fans arrived early for the team’s milestone moment. But even with excited owner Michael Jordan squirming in his seat and relaying pointers to players from the end of Charlotte’s bench, the 6year-old Bobcats wilted in a tight fourth quarter. Gerald Wallace added 13 points on 4-of-12 shooting for Charlotte. Raymond Felton also scored 13, but shot 5 of 14 and again couldn’t contain Nelson. “We’re not good enough to win with one or two guys playing at a high level,” Brown said. Nelson’s floater in the lane with 1:32 left put Orlando ahead 85-82. After an empty possession for each team, Felton’s driving layup with 52 seconds left cut the lead to one. Nelson then missed a contested layup, giving Charlotte the ball with 31 seconds left. But Jackson was badly short on a straightaway 3-point attempt. It was a familiar sight: Charlotte was 5 of 23 from 3-point range. Vince Carter and Gortat combined to hit 5-of6 free throws to put it away. Nelson, who also scored 32 points in the series opener, hit 12-of21 shots and 5-of-9 3-point attempts.

Blazers down Suns, 96-87 PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – Brandon Roy made a surprising return from knee surgery and scored 10 points, including a key 3-pointer in the fourth quarter, and Portland evened their playoff series with the Phoenix Suns at two

games apiece with a 9687 victory on Saturday. LaMarcus Aldridge had 31 points and 11 rebounds for the Blazers, who activated Roy shortly before the game, eight days after he had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee.

HPU completes series sweep SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

Atlanta shortstop Yunel Escobar leaps over the New York Mets’ Jason Bay (44) after forcing Bay out at second base and throwing to first for the double play to get David Wright out in the eighth inning of Saturday’s game in New York. The Mets won 3-1.

Bay, Francoeur lead Mets over Braves THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK – For nearly a year, the Mets had been streaking – straight out of contention. Now, following a 4-8 start, they’ve evened their record for the first time since the opening week of the season. Jason Bay hit a tying double in the sixth inning, Jeff Francoeur doubled in the go-ahead run with a drive off the 415-foot sign in the seventh and the Mets finally got to Jair Jurrjens in a 3-1 victory over the reeling Atlanta Braves on Saturday. “.500 is nothing to throw a party about, by any means,” Francoeur said. “It’s a stepping stone.” New York (9-9) took advantage of brain-locked baserunning by Yunel Escobar to improve to 5-1 on a 10-game homestand. Starting with last weekend’s 20-inning victory at St. Louis, the Mets have won six of eight. They’re on just their third threegame winning streak since May. “For the most part this season, we’ve played good baseball,” New York manager Jerry Manuel said. “We didn’t have much to

show for it, but we were in a lot of games.” It was a costly loss for the Braves. Playing on his 38th birthday, Chipper Jones injured his right hip on his first swing. He took a pair of called third strikes and was removed after 21⁄2 innings. Jones feared he will be sidelined for a few games. “I’ve never had that happen before, in football or anything,” he said. “It still hurts after I’ve had ice and everything.” Atlanta has lost four straight, its steepest skid since dropping its final six last year. The Braves ran themselves out of an inning in the fifth. With runners on second and third and one out, Troy Glaus lined to Francoeur in the gap in right-center. Escobar failed to tag up at third and Martin Prado, who had replaced Jones, tagged up at second. Whoops! “Everybody was really dumbfounded,” David Ross said. Not thinking he would have a play at the plate, Francoeur threw to third. Prado got trapped in a rundown and was tagged out quickly, failing to give Escobar time to score.

Given where the ball was hit, Braves manager Bobby Cox couldn’t understand what Escobar was – or wasn’t – thinking. “I’ve seen that on line drives, but never in the gap like that,” he said. Mets shortstop Jose Reyes also appeared to lose track of the outs, throwing home in an attempt for Escobar – which would have been the fourth out. Escobar wouldn’t discuss the game, throwing his jersey and pants into his locker. “I guess he didn’t know how many outs there were,” Jurrjens said. “It was just a mental mistake.”

on Saturday afternoon. Will Venable also connected and Yorvit Torrealba added a two-run double to help send the Reds to their eighth loss in 10 games.

DODGERS 4, NATIONALS 3 (13) WASHINGTON – Russell Martin lined a twoout RBI single off Miguel Batista in the 13th inning for his only hit in six at-bats Saturday, Casey Blake homered twice and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Washington Nationals 4-3 to avoid what would have been their first three-game losing streak of 2010.

HIGH POINT – The High Point University baseball team swept Saturday’s doubleheader against UNC Asheville to complete a three-game romp past the Bulldogs. The Panthers took the opener 9-1 as freshman Jaime Schultz kept the Bulldogs hitless through 41⁄3 innings in his first career start. HPU won the nightcap 17-10. The Panthers pounded 18 hits and benefitted from six Bulldog errors. Five Panthers drove in two runs each and six scored twice. Zach Tessier went 2-for-3 with three runs and two RBIs for HPU in Game 2. Former Wesleyan standout Mikel Rodenberg recorded the final three outs for the Panthers. He was the last of seven Panther pitchers. High Point improved to 22-21, 8-10 in the Big South Conference. UNCA fell to 11-25, 5-13. In the opener, the Panthers gave Schultz

a five-run lead to work with in the first inning. UNC Asheville starting pitcher Justin Schumer walked two batters and hit two more to help HPU push across five runs on just three hits. Matt Gantner had an RBI single and HPU scored two runs when Max Fulginiti reached on an error by the second baseman. Schultz walked three and recorded seven strikeouts, tying his career high in seven innings, his longest appearance of the season. HPU put up four more runs in the bottom of the seventh inning off three UNC Asheville relievers. High Point capitalized on four walks in the inning to score four runs on two hits. Kyle Mahoney, Sal Pezzino and Murray White IV picked up RBIs in the inning and Gantner scored on a wild pitch. HPU steps out of conference for its next two games, playing at UNC on Tuesday and home for Duke on Wednesday.

Two Chase Wilsons chase title T

he face-to-face meeting came on the 17th hole Saturday at Blair Park Golf Course. Chase Wilson? Meet Chase Wilson. “We got introduced to ourselves,” Wilson said. Oh, boy. This could get confusing. Let’s clarify. The Chase Wilson speaking above is the well-known local golfer who starred at High Point Central and High Point University. He even owns a city championship, having won the Bud Kivett in 2005. The other Chase SPORTS Wilson hails from Zanesville, Ohio. Steve This weekend marks Hanf the first Bud Kivett ■■■ for a golfer who just finished his freshman year playing for HPU and coach J.B. White. That’s who set up the first brief meeting. “Coach White was out there watching me and he said, ‘I’d like for you to meet your twin,’ ” said the younger Chase Wilson. At the scorer’s tent, officials told the younger golfer that he’d be called Chase R. Wilson from now on. That decision came after more than one player walked up to the scoreboard at the end of the round and asked, “Is there more than one Chase Wilson playing?” In their case, the confusing coincidence began long before both registered for the Kivett. Curtis Brotherton, a sophomore at High Point, grew up playing with the older Chase Wilson at Willow Creek. This year, he got to play with the new Chase Wilson. “It was pretty funny,” Brotherton said. “We call him ‘Junior’ sometimes because he’s younger than Chase. But they’re both real solid players. We’re glad to have Chase at High Point. He looks very promising for us. “Their games are actually kind of similar,” Brotherton added. “They play a little cut, they’re both really fiery. But they’re both really good guys.” The older Chase Wilson couldn’t believe White had recruited his namesake. “I’m surprised my golf coach let another Chase Wilson on the team after what I put him through,” he said with a laugh. The younger Chase Wilson started hearing some of those tales as soon as he arrived on campus. “I’ve heard about him ever since I got to High Point,” said the freshman. “Coach told me, ‘I had to do a double-take at your resume when I saw it because I just had a Chase Wilson a few years ago.’ You hear stories about all the guys on the team past and present, so I’ve heard about him.” The older Chase Wilson graduated from HPU in 2007 and currently lives in Asheville, where he works for Cardinal Health, an outfit that sells medical supplies to hospitals. He said he plays golf about once during the week and twice on the weekends – “I’m not married, no kids, so I still try to play quite a bit,” he explained – and enjoys competing in tournaments. The former city champ has competed in the last seven or eight Kivetts. “It’s just a fun tournament to come back to,” he said. “Now that I’ve moved away, I know I’ll get to see friends who are going to play in this.” Who knew there would be that little catch of seeing a new friend – named Chase Wilson. As the Kivett weekend approached, the older Chase Wilson had trouble figuring out his tee time. The younger Chase Wilson knew exactly which time was his since he’d signed up with teammate Nick Goins and they were paired together. Not so for Chase Senior. “I looked online and I saw I was

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

Chase Wilson, a freshman at High Point University, studies a shot during Saturday’s opening round of the Bud Kivett Memorial City Golf Championship at Blair Park. Wilson shot a 4-under-par 68 and is in second place entering today’s final round at Oak Hollow. Among those he’ll fend off in the championship flight are former High Point Central and HPU player Chase Wilson, shown below in a file photo from the 2007 Kivett.

teed up twice,” said the Asheville resident. “My friends were asking me what time I tee off and I was joking with them, ‘Well, I’ve got two tee times. I’m going to see which playing partners I like better and tee off with them.’ ” On the course, the older Chase Wilson opened with an eagle, struggled making putts the rest of the day and finished with a 3under-par 69. The younger Chase Wilson fired a 4-under 68. “Any time you can post a number in the 60s, you can’t be too disappointed,” said the Ohio native. “Put yourself in contention...” ... And you’ve got a shot in the finale. Imagine, Chase Wilson’s name on the plaque in the clubhouse and on the list of all-time winners published each year. Oh, boy. Here we go again.

PANTHER CONNECTION High Point University was wellrepresented in the Kivett, with J.B. White around to watch a number of his charges. In addition to Wilson and Brotherton, HPU senior Hogan Nance was near the top of the leaderboard after firing a 68. Others from HPU included Evan LaRocque and Nick Goins. Nance had to play through some of the wet weather down the stretch, but said “it wasn’t that bad.” As for how he arrived at his

68, “it was just the par-5s, really. I did pick up a birdie on one of the par-4s, but the par-5s I just got it done. I didn’t have any 5s today.” All in all, the first round of his first Kivett was enjoyable. “Playing with my brother and two friends made it comfortable and it was just a good time,” Nance said. “I’m looking forward to doing the same thing tomorrow.”

FINGERS CROSSED High Point Director of Golf Steve High and Blair Park Head PGA Pro Johnny Carroll were monitoring the weather forecast Saturday night while attempting to plot the best possible strategy for today’s final round at Oak Hollow. Duplicating Saturday’s tee times – a pair of morning starts from the first and 10th tees followed by a wave of afternoon starts from the 10th – didn’t appear possible because of storms predicted for this morning and again later in the afternoon. In the end, officials elected to go with tee times starting at 9 a.m. from one side only. “We just thought the worst of it is going to be early morning, and going off only on one side gives us a chance to get more of the golfers into better weather and also have enough daylight to finish,” Carroll explained. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Panthers draft two quarterbacks, create competition at position CHARLOTTE (AP) – So much for the idea that Matt Moore had an unquestioned hold on the Carolina Panthers’ starting quarterback job. The franchise that has been reluctant to use any pick – let alone a high one – on a quarterback under general manager Marty Hurney and coach John Fox took Notre Dame’s Jimmy Clausen in the second round of the NFL draft. Saturday the Panthers drafted Cincinnati’s Tony Pike with one of four sixth-round selections. The additions of Clausen and Pike not only add depth at the position, but they could push Moore for playing time sooner rather than later. “It certainly had nothing to do with Matt and Hunter” Cantwell, Hurney said Saturday after the draft. “You can’t say enough about how strongly we feel about those two guys. We just got into a draft where surprisingly ... we got to the second round and the

sixth round where the board just dictated that, ‘Hey, this is the pick. This is the best player to take.’ ” Taking Clausen was the highlight of the weekend for the Panthers, who didn’t have a first-round pick yet saw a player many projected as a high first-rounder slide to them at No. 48. But the selection of Pike, who led Cincinnati to the Sugar Bowl last season, bucked tradition most. Consider, the Panthers had picked only two quarterbacks in eight drafts under Hurney and Fox: Fifth-rounder Randy Fasani out of Stanford in 2002 and fourthrounder Stefan LeFors out of Louisville in 2005. Fasani threw 44 passes for the Panthers, while LeFors never even had an attempt. Moore is a former undrafted free agent with just eight career starts, though he led the Panthers to a 4-1 finish after taking over as the starter for an injured Jake Del-

homme. The Panthers later cut Delhomme and didn’t re-sign Josh McCown and A.J. Feeley, leaving only Moore and Cantwell – a rookie free agent who didn’t play a down. Fox said drafting Clausen was “a slam dunk” once he slid, while Hurney said Pike was rated significantly higher by the Panthers than a sixth-rounder. Carolina also addressed pressing needs at receiver by picking both LSU’s Brandon LaFell and Appalachian State’s Armanti Edwards in the third round, then grabbed Baylor’s David Gettis in the sixth. Carolina also bolstered its defense with South Carolina linebacker Eric Norwood (fourth round), Mississippi defensive end Greg Hardy (sixth), Texas A&M defensive back Jordan Pugh (sixth), Utah defensive back R.J. Stanford (seventh) and Connecticut defensive back Robert McClain (seventh).

Wake Forest offensive lineman Chris DeGeare (70), shown in this 2007 file photo, was selected in the fifth round of the NFL Draft on Saturday by the Minnesota Vikings. DeGeare, a former Glenn High School standout, was the 30th selection of the fifth round and the 161st player taken overall. He was the 12th player taken in the draft who was listed as an offensive guard. DeGeare played in 49 games and made 35 starts for the Demon Deacons. He played a total of 2,410 offensive snaps in his career and had 199.5 knockdown blocks.

Vikings take DeGeare in fifth round of draft SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

WINSTON-SALEM – Wake Forest offensive lineman Chris DeGeare was selected in the fifth round of the NFL Draft on Saturday by the Minnesota Vikings. DeGeare was the 30th selection of the fifth round and the 161st player taken overall. He was the 12th player taken in the draft who was listed as an offensive guard. A local product out of Kernersville, DeGeare played in 49 games and made 35 starts for the Demon Deacons. He played a total of 2,410 offensive snaps in his career and had 199.5 knockdown blocks. As a senior in 2009, DeGeare started all 12 games at left tackle. The fifthyear senior had a careerhigh 70 knockdowns on the year, while playing 698 snaps. DeGeare saw most of his action in his career at offensive guard until moving to tackle in 2009. He played in all 11 games as a true freshman in 2005, earning honorable mention Freshman All-America honors. He moved into the starting lineup the following season as a sophomore on Wake Forest’s 2006 ACC

championship team. He started all 14 games that year, seeing action on 699 offensive snaps and recording 56 knockdown blocks. DeGeare started eight of 12 games as a junior in 2007 before utilizing a redshirt year in 2008. DeGeare is the highest drafted Deacon offensive lineman since Ben Coleman was taken in the second round of the 1993 draft by the Arizona Cardinals. Wake Forest has had at least one offensive lineman selected in three of the past four drafts. DeGeare joins Steve Vallos (7th round pick by Seattle in 2007) and Steve Justice (6th round pick by Indianapolis in 2008) as recent Deacon linemen draftees. Wake Forest defensive back Brandon Ghee was drafted in the third round by the Cincinnati Bengals on Friday. This marks the fourth straight season multiple Deacons have been taken in the NFL Draft. At least one Deacon player has been selected in each of the past six NFL drafts, a feat Wake Forest had not accomplished since 1985-90 when each draft consisted of 12 rounds.

Lions make Weber State’s Toone ‘Mr. Irrelevant’ ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) – This year’s Mr. Irrelevant is wide receiver Tim Toone of Weber State. The Detroit Lions picked Toone with the 255th and final pick of the NFL draft on Saturday. The final pick generally gets saddled with the moniker. Last year’s Mr. Irrel-

evant was South Carolina place-kicker Ryan Succop, picked 256th overall by Kansas City. Toone is expected to compete for Detroit’s kickoff and punt returning jobs. He is 5-foot-10 and 184 pounds, but has good speed and led the Big Sky Conference with a 19.9yard average last season.

The ‘fishing report’ THE REAL FISHING REPORT --I

sat on the seat of Evander’s old green Chevy truck and waited. We’d had breakfast at Red Haymore’s Wallburg Diner and were on our way home when Evander suddenly slammed on brakes and turned into Van Parker’s driveway. The truck had barely stopped rolling when he opened the door and SPORTS bailed out, “I’ll be right back,” Dick he called without Jones looking over his ■■■ shoulder. When he came back, he had his straw hat filled with tomatoes. “Van’s got hot house tomatoes and I’ve been craving a ‘mater sandwich,” he grinned. “I also got some good dope on the fishing. The Parsley brothers went to Thomalex yesterday and caught a mess of bass; best fish was almost six pounds. They say they’re hittin’ everything.” Smoke from his cigar billowed around his head as he put the Chevy in gear. Evander’s life consisted of a series of connections which hinged on the return of favors. If he found good fishing, he shared it with his network and his network returned the favor. Of course, certain things were too sacred to be included in the exchange. Things like wood duck honey holes or a truly great catfishing spot were a closely guarded secret. But, on return from a surf fishing trip or a foray to the Roanoke River, Evander would spend the better part of the evening on the phone updating his friends who might be interested. I suppose it was a precursor to internet bulletin boards or social networks like Facebook. On this particular occasion, the word had gone from the original fisherman, Johnny Parsley, to Van Parker during the transfer of some tomato plants. Casual conversation had revealed that the bass were on the bed and hitting like crazy on the Brushy Fork side of the lake. Van knew that Evander liked to catch bass in springtime and forwarded the info on to him when he picked up the tomatoes. Evander treated this kind of information like a diamond found in a turnip patch. On the other side of the equation, Johnny Parsley shared ownership of an auto repair shop, Y&B Motors, with Willie Baker and had told Willie about the fish. Willie was also a passionate bass angler, but didn’t trust Johnnie’s judgment about bass fishing because Johnny was a relative newcomer to the sport. Willie also didn’t trust Johnnie’s judgment because Johnnie didn’t fish scientifically. Willie was constantly reading fishing magazines and studying solunar tables to determine the best time to fish. Johnnie just fished when he had a chance and caught as many fish as Willie, anyway. Another part of the rift was that Willie and Johnnie had a strange, symbiotic relationship in their work and friendship at Y&B Motors. They had entirely different ways of approaching a problem, though both were equally competent. Willie took care of the office and did some mechanic work, Johnny only worked on cars and could fix anything on instinct. Willie was scientific and would consult a Chilton’s Auto Manual if he was stumped. Johnny would just plow through the problem and somehow always managed to get the car running smooth. This irritated Willie. The fact was, they got along like blackberry briars and honeysuckle. “I reckon Johnny and Willie will close down the shop until the fishing slows down,” I kind of thought out loud. “Nope, that’s what Van was talking about. Johnny wants to fish with Willie but Willie won’t fish with Johnny. He thinks Johnny doesn’t know anything about fishing; he says having to work with somebody who just guesses through everything is nerve wracking enough.” Evander chuckled and I thought it was a shame that two guys who liked each other couldn’t fish together. The next Saturday, we were planning to fish with Van Parker at Thomalex to see if we couldn’t find some of those bass. Evander seemed a little distracted, but I figured he was just

Not only is bass and Crappie fishing heating up, fishing everywhere is getting hot. There have been big drum as well as puppies landed at Hatteras along with good catches of sea mullet, bluefish and toadfish. We fished the Roanoke two days this week and, while it’s not wide open yet, it’s coming fast. We caught several stripers each day and the fisheries guys shocked a 52 pounder this past week. The keeper season ends on April 30 but there should be at least a week or two more of catch and release fishing before the fish head back down river. The fish aren’t hitting artificials really well yet though some of the better anglers have done pretty well. I watched a fly fisherman catch three in about five minutes on Wednesday. A jig angler caught a 34 pounder on a bucktail this week.

stressed from dodging everyone who was working in their gardens. He hated to get drafted into doing garden work. Besides the heat, I think it was one of the reasons he disliked summer. On Thursday afternoon, Evander came by and asked if I would go with him in his little MG to see if Johnny could get it to stop backfiring. Johnny and Willie never worked on foreign cars and I wondered why Evander was taking it to Y&B Motors. Johnny looked at the car and scratched his head. “I know it’s the timing, but I don’t know what it’s supposed to be set at,” he mumbled to himself. He walked into the office and picked up the Chilton’s Auto manual. He studied it a little and went over to the car, loosened the distributor, and hooked up the timing light. The car was smooth as silk in thirty seconds. I noticed Willie was standing there staring with his jaw hung slack. He turned into the office and we followed him in. “Well Evander, you won that one but it wasn’t very profitable. The bill is five dollars, want to just take it off the five I owe you?” Willie had a sour look on his face. “That’ll be fine,” Evander said and we got in the car and left. “What was that all about?” I asked. “I had lunch with Willie today and he was complaining again about how Johnny just guesses how to fix stuff instead doing it by the book. I bet him that Johnny would look something up in the Chilton’s manual by the end of the day. I just won my bet.” He grinned. “But it cost you five dollars and part of the afternoon to win five dollars,” I said. “That doesn’t make sense.” “There was more to the bet than just the money,” Evander said. “The other part was that Willie has to ask Johnny to go fishing with him Saturday. I just did a good deed by getting two friends to fish together.” When Van, Evander, and I were fishing Thomalex on Saturday, we saw Willie and Johnny in Willie’s boat working spinner baits off a little point. Van’s jaw dropped and he said, “Well, I’ll be, I knew I shouldn’t have took that bet.” He reached into his wallet and handed Evander a twenty dollar bill. Evander looked at me and winked. “I also made a bet with Van that Willie and Johnnie would go fishing together this weekend. Sometimes doing a good deed can be profitable. Van, just hang onto that twenty and apply it to my tomato bill.” DICK JONES IS a freelance writer living in High Point.

Eagles are one of Randy Everett’s favorite subjects, along with tikis, bears and Indians.

Cuttin’ up Chainsaw carver Randy Everett lets the chips fly where they may BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

OLFAX – Pardon the pun, but Randy Everett has carved out a pretty good career for himself. After 26 years in the communications field, the 53-year-old Colfax man found his true calling – professional chainsaw carver – and you have to agree his work is, well, a cut above. “I knew a little about chainsaw carving, but not a lot,” Everett says. “But one day I was sawing some trees down around here, and I had some that were too big and too messed up to split for wood or anything, so I actually made my first tiki out of a big ol’ ugly stump.” That was in early 2000, and

’I actually made my first tiki out of a big ol’ ugly stump.’ Randy Everett Chainsaw carver Everett’s passion for chainsaw carving – tikis and eagles and bears, oh my! – has been revved wide open ever since. This week, he’ll be one of 13 carvers participating in the Thomasville Tourism, ECHO Chainsaw Sculpting Invitational, a three-day event taking place in downtown Thomasville. This week’s competition will be a far cry from Everett’s first competition in 2003. “I didn’t know what to expect,” he says. “I thought I was good with my one chainsaw and my little chainsaw, and then these guys came rolling out with wheelbarrows and dolleys full of chainsaws, so I knew right then that it was gonna be a little more than I was anticipating.” These days Everett owns about

The Thomasville Tourism, ECHO Chainsaw Sculpting Invitational, featuring nationally acclaimed chainsaw sculptors, will be held Thursday through Saturday in downtown Thomasville’s clock tower parking lot, across from the Big Chair. Carvers will be carving from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday. A “quick carve,” in which logs will become art in only 45 minutes, will take place from 11 to 11:45 a.m. Saturday. A public auction of the finished pieces of art will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday.

The bad part about it is it’s really heavy when you get it because it comes from our swamps here in North Carolina. After it dries, it’s extremely light – it loses about two-thirds or more of its water weight. It doesn’t seem to crack too bad, and the wood will last forever.” During competitions, though, he prefers to work with pine, because it carves faster, he says. The carving process begins in Everett’s mind before he’s able to put his hands to work, he says, explaining that he has to visual-

The Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) recently granted a three-year re-accreditation with commendation to the Randolph Cancer Center. This accreditation is awarded when a program complies with all standards and receives a commendation rating for one or more of the eligible standards. The Randolph Cancer Center received its first accreditation from the commission and the ACS in 2004. “This recognition assures our patients have access to some of the best cancer care right here in Asheboro,” notes Stacey Bannister, executive director of the cancer center. “Not only are we able to offer advanced technologies for treatment, but our outstanding physicians and staff are dedicated to each patient. The fact that we met or exceeded each standard is a testimony to our commitment to provide the best care.” Every commission-approved cancer program must qualify for basic service categories including: diagnostic, treatment, other clinical opportunities, rehabilitation, support, and prevention and early detection. These services must be provided on-site at the facility, by referral, or coordinated with other facilities or local agencies. “This recognition continues to be an important achievement for the Randolph Cancer Center,” said Dr. Robert McGee, pathologist and chairman of the cancer committee at Randolph Hospital.

Search for father yields more questions D

ear Abby: My biological father left soon after I was born. Mom spent her life in orphanages and foster homes, so she knows nothing about her ancestry, genetics or family information. I was always curious about where I came from, so finally, at the age of 26, I decided to do something about it. Mom had always told me about â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donny,â&#x20AC;? who she said was my father. I was able to track him down and made contact. At first he denied knowing Mom, then he changed his story. Because he was married and had a family, the matter was dropped. Four years passed and I contacted Donny again. This time, I offered to meet him on his terms to take a paternity test. He called my mother a liar and said she had been promiscuous. It made me angry because Mom was open with me about him and we have always had a close relationship. The paternity test came back and â&#x20AC;&#x201C; guess what? Donny is not my father! I feel like a fool for pursuing him for nothing.

ADVICE Dear Abby

Mom acted surprised and now refuses to talk about it. I want to know my background, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eating away at me that I was told Donny was a deadbeat father and I was lied to for so long. Am I doomed to never know my ancestry? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Man With No Past

Dear Man With No Past: Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a possibility, and for that you have my sympathy. When someone clams up the way your mother has, it may be because the person is too ashamed to admit the truth â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which may be that she does not know who fathered you. There may be reasons why your mother behaved the way she did, having grown up not knowing who her parents were and in a series of foster homes. She may have simply been looking for someone to love her. One thing is certain, however. She raised you to be the man you â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;

Weak immune system cause of skin infection? D

ear Dr. Fox: I have a 9-year-old Maltese. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been treating her for a bacterial infection since Dec. 18. She has had three (twoweek intervals) rounds of Baytril, but three weeks after the symptoms returned. They start like a small bite and then spread to the size of a half dollar. The scab is light in color. She licks her feet until they bleed, but she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scratch and is eating well. When you mentioned the Sarcoptes mite, I thought about my dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s situation. My longtime vet is caring for her. He says it is simply a bacterial infection and not uncommon. I wonder where it came from. Is it contagious? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; R.H., Pinckneyville, Ill. Dear R.H.: A diagnosis of â&#x20AC;&#x153;bacterial skin infectionâ&#x20AC;? is just giving a name to one of the symptoms. One must ask what, in the dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body or environment, might have impaired the normal defenses of the dermis to allow a bacterial dermatitis to settle in, causing both you and your dog much distress. I would begin by prescribing probiotics rather than antibiotics (unless your dog is feverish and septic) and slowly transition from his regular diet to a hypoallergenic diet (rice and lamb, venison and sweet potato) over a five- to seven-day period. Give supplements such as fish or flaxseed oil and brewerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yeast, along with a Selsun Blue medicated (human) shampoo, followed three to four days later by an aloe, oatmeal or calendula-based shampoo. Let your dog lie on clean (no laundry scent) cotton sheets, and use only white vinegar, baking soda and Orange TKO to clean your floors. A food or chemical allergy may be weakening your dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immune system. This or a nutrient deficiency underlying her dermatitis may then be rectified. Other factors include early diabetes and hypothyroidism for which your veterinarian may wish to test. Dear Dr. Fox: I understand you may not treat small rodents, but I need your help desperately. A few days ago, my gerbil (Whiskers) was scratching a spot just below his left ear that

became a scab that comes off and bleeds a lot. I am worried it might get infected. ANIMAL I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand DOCTOR how it could be Dr. Michael itchy there Fox â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I clean his â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; cage once a week, and I change his food and water every two to three days. He pees in his food dish once in a while. But I got him a little hamster-size litter box, and he goes in that now. My parents refuse to take him to our vet who absolutely hates small rodents. They wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay the $40 for a checkup and are saying to me that it might be a sign he might be ready to move on to a better life in the clouds because he is 2 years old and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old for a gerbil. I want to keep him alive and healthy as long as possible. I hope you have answers to my questions. Thank you. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; T.T., Arlington, Va. Dear T.T.: I always welcome letters from young readers who, like you, try to give proper care to their pets. Your gerbil may have something in the ear canal, even an infection that makes him scratch so hard as to hurt himself behind that ear. I would use a dropper to put three to for drops of olive oil into his ear twice a day for a week. If the sore spot bleeds badly, touch it lightly with a styptic (like your dad may use to stop a bleeder when he shaves). Once it is beginning to heal, apply a smear of Bacitracin three times a day for three to four days. Be sure that your gerbil gets some nuts and little bits of fresh sweet potato, carrot and parsnip in addition to his regular food. Good luck. Every creature is special. Dear Dr. Fox: My mother has a 6-year-old male French bulldog. For the past two or three years, she has lived alone. Owing to a physical disability (COPD), she isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to take him on walks but does let him get some air and do his business in the backyard. She gives him nothing but love and affection, and they seem

to be inseparable. This all changes when I (or my niece) go to visit. When my 13-yearold niece comes over, the dog clings to her all the time. If my mother calls to him and tells him to come, he just stares at her and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go over to her. Why does he become so cold to the hand that feeds him? What happened to his loyalty? It hurts my motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feelings. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; J.M., Arlington, Va. Dear J.M.: Perhaps the dog is craving the affection and companionship of a more active, lively human who takes him out for walks and long romps. Or maybe he senses that your mother is fading away and may soon be hospitalized with her COPD. I hope that you are prepared to take her beloved dog when the time comes. The dog is not being disloyal. He may be showing your mother how much he loves your company and your nieceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Your mother should celebrate that.

are today and did the best she could, so please try to forgive her for the deception. Dear Abby: I am in my mid-30s, blond, blue-eyed, tall and slender. I am health-conscious and physically active. I have had a seven-year marriage and a relationship that lasted for four â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but for the last five years I have been unattached. It took me a while to get used to being alone, but I have realized something that everyone needs to know: Being single can be very satisfying I clean my house; it stays clean. I have no extra dishes or laundry to do. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no toothpaste left in the sink. The toilet seat stays down. I can relax in front of the fireplace because no one is trying to get my attention. My checkbook is always balanced, with no surprises. I can go to bed at night and sleep without having to spend half the night explaining why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the mood.â&#x20AC;? I wake up refreshed in the morning without having to share someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenges.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m free to come and go as I please without the burden of anyone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expectations. And, if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m feeling social, I can get together with a male or female friend and go out and have a good time. Please reassure your single readers that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK to be single, and not to allow their well-meaning friends, family or society to try to convince them they â&#x20AC;&#x153;needâ&#x20AC;? to be in a relationship. If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happily single, as am I, they can remain that way and life will be just fine if they let it be. For me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only way to be. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Happily Single in Seattle Dear Happily Single: I have often said it is better to be alone than to wish you were. I have also said that there are worse things than being alone, and evidently you have experienced them.

Supplemental hormones cause breast growth

ear Dr. Donohue: Nearly two years ago, my doctor prescribed AndroGel for treating low testosterone. Six months ago, I called my breastsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; enlargement to his attention, and his only comment was: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why that would be happening.â&#x20AC;? I then went to my primary-care physician. He was certain that the enlargement is due to the AndroGel. I shared with the doctor my pharmacistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s explanation. The pharmacist said that the testosterone medicine causes my body to produce more estrogen. The doctor didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree with that. Then to confuse me further, I read that a low serum testosterone causes male breast enlargement. So, is it possible that male breasts enlarge if testosterone is low AND if it is high? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; G.T. Gynecomastia (GUYnuh-coe-MASS-tee-uh), enlargement of the male breast, comes about when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an imbalance between male hormone and female hormone. Males make both. The imbalances occur at puberty and again in old age, when testosterone production wanes. Estrogen (female hormone) promotes breast-tissue growth. Older menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slackening production of testosterone allows their natural estrogen to spur breast growth. Men taking testosterone supplements, like your AndroGel, often experience breast enlargement. Some of the male hormone is transformed into female hormone, and that explains why your breasts are getting bigger. Stopping the supplement can reverse the breast enlargement if it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been present for longer than one or two years. If it has, surgical removal of the breast tissue is the remedy, if you wish to go that route. Most often in situations similar to yours, such breast enlargement is not an indication of serious trouble. In other situations, it can be. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am a 58-year-old woman who has had high blood

pressure since I was 40. Weight gain throughout the years had HEALTH elevated it from Dr. Paul 140/95 to Donohue 150/98. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; Altace, the blood pressure medicine I now take, has it in a good range. Through the years I have made dietary changes, one of which is avoidance of salt and high-sodium foods. For dental health I rinse my mouth with warm saltwater a few times a day. Am I absorbing salt into my system? I also add a cup of Epsom salts to my bathwater. Does my body absorb salt from that? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; C.D. The amount of salt absorbed from rinsing your mouth with saltwater is so small that it has no effect on blood pressure. If you want to be extra cautious, swish plain water in your mouth after the saltwater rinse, and spit it out. Epsom salts is magnesium sulfate. It has no sodium. You have no concern with putting it into your bathwater. Dear Dr. Donohue: Is it true that beta carotene supplements taken by a smoker will give the smoker lung cancer? I have read several times that smokers should not take beta carotene. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; M.M. Beta carotene supplements can increase a smokerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risk for coming down with lung cancer. This is not the case with beta carotene found in foods. Carrots were the plants from which beta carotene was first obtained. I guess thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the name comes from. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also found in many other fruits, vegetables, grains and oils. The body converts beta carotene into vitamin A. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Children may qualify on parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; disability record Q

My brother had an accident at work last year and is now receiving Social Security disability benefits for himself, his wife, and daughter. Before his accident, he helped support another daughter he had by a woman he never married. Is the second child entitled to some benefits as well?

A. Even though your brother wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t married to the second childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, the child may qualify for Social Security benefits. Someone should file an application on the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behalf. If she is found to be eligible, both children would receive equal benefits. Learn more by reading our online publication, Disability Benefits, at www.socialsecurity. gov/pubs/10029.html. Q. What are the rules for getting Supplemental Security Income (SSI)? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking about applying. A. To be eligible to receive SSI benefits, you must be disabled, blind, or age 65 or older and have limited income and resources.

Income is defined as wages, Social Security benefits, and pensions. Income also includes such things as food and shelter you receive from others. Social Security does not count all of your income when deciding whether you qualify for SSI. Resources include bank accounts, cash, stocks, and bonds. You may be able to get SSI if your resources are worth no more than $2,000. A couple may be able to get SSI if they have resources worth no more than $3,000. Learn more by reading our publication, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), at www.socialsecurity.gov/ pubs/11000.html.

Q. I recently received my annual Social Security statement in the mail, and I noticed my taxes are only â&#x20AC;&#x153;estimated.â&#x20AC;? How did you calculate the amount? A. The Internal Revenue Service collects your Social Security and Medicare taxes. At Social

Most carvers use a sander or grinder to take off the rough edges, and some use hand tools such as a hammer and chisels to add detail to their pieces. Everett points out, however, that some competitions allow only chainsaws for carving. And if you think chainsaw carving is physically demanding, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wear you out,â&#x20AC;? Everett says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get hand cramps, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get forearm cramps, bicep cramps and leg cramps if you do a lot of bending down. And your back gets sore from a lot of bending over and the weight of the saw pulling you forward.â&#x20AC;? Injuries can happen, he adds, but most carvers are very safety-conscious. Everett says thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s virtually no limit to what he can carve with his trusty chainsaws, but some of his favorite subjects are eagles, Indians, tikis and bears.

Prices of finished pieces range from about $300 up to $2,500 or more, depending on their size and the amount of detail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Typically, the general rule of thumb is a hundred dollars a foot,â&#x20AC;? Everett says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can use that with most carvings, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also like diamonds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the bigger they are, the more expensive they are, so a 10-foot carving may be $1,500 or $2,000 or even $2,500. Depends on how much detail you want on it.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a living for Everett, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also something he simply enjoys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the artistic side of it and being able to create whatever you want to,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I take a lot of pride in it.â&#x20AC;?

On the Beatnik trail AP

A vintage car is parked on a street in the Roma neighborhood of Mexico City. The Roma district, a once-wealthy neighborhood of mansions, was in decline by the time Beat Generation writers Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg lived there.

Old Mexico City hangouts are enjoying a mild rebirth BY DAVID W. KOOP ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

EXICO CITY – Mexico City was a magnet in the 1950s for some of America’s greatest Beat Generation writers – Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg and others. Many of their old haunts in Mexico’s capital have now faded. But fans of the Beats can still find traces of their sojourns here – in cafes and cantinas, along boulevards and even at the site of an infamous killing. The Beats came to Mexico City seeking a refuge from mainstream America in what they saw as a magical and alien land south of the border. They were searching for enlightenment, and sometimes fleeing criminal cases. Their stomping ground was the Roma district, a once-wealthy neighborhood of mansions that was in decline by the time Kerouac and Burroughs lived there. In recent years, Roma has enjoyed a mild rebirth and is now filled with pretty parks, hidden cafes, galleries and upscale restaurants. But it still has a bohemian, down-at-the-heels side with working-class eateries, tortillerias, cheap hotels and repair shops. Most Beat landmarks are in Roma, within walking distance of one another. First stop for any Beat pilgrim would be an anonymous building at Monterrey 122 on the busy corner of Chihuahua Street. It’s a dingy apartment block with cheap taco and enchilada restaurants on the ground floor, but it has a notorious past: During a night of drinking in 1951, Burroughs, the Beat godfather, shot his wife dead in an upstairs flat in a game of William Tell gone awry.

Burroughs, the author of “Naked Lunch,” “Junky” and “Queer,” had placed a glass on Joan Vollmer’s head and fired his pistol, only to hit her head by mistake. He was imprisoned for 13 days before being granted bail. He was eventually convicted of negligent homicide and given a

’I liked Mexico City from the first day of my visit. ... A single man could live well there for two dollars a day.’ William Burroughs Writing in 1949 two-year suspended sentence. He later wrote that without Vollmer’s death he would never have become a writer. The apartment where Burroughs shot Vollmer was located above the legendary Bounty bar, where expat Beat writers drank till dawn. Now the Bounty is an unassuming cantina called Krika’s, where locals eat cheap meals largely unaware of what happened above their heads more than a half-century ago. “Every now and then I see tourists standing outside looking at the building, wondering if it could really be the place where it all happened,” said Huberto Suarez, owner of Krika’s. “There are no statues or plaques, so I tell them that this is it.” Even more anonymous is Jose Alvarado 37, a rundown white building on a tiny side street across from the Plaza Insurgentes shopping mall and a Sears outlet. Its black metal door

is uninviting and the neighboring building bears a large yellow sign that reads: “Housing yes! Evictions no!” This was Burroughs’ first address in Mexico City – Cerrada de Medellin 37 at the time – after fleeing a drug possession case in the United States. He was there when Kerouac and his buddy Neal Cassady showed up in 1950 on their famous road trip to Mexico. Cassady was characterized as Dean Moriarity in Kerouac’s Beat classic “On the Road.” Kerouac later penned the poem, “Cerrada de Medellin Blues.” While Kerouac was inspired by Mexico’s indigenous culture and spiritual Mayan roots, Burroughs’ reasons for living in Mexico City from 1949 to 1952 were more practical, at least at first: It was a place to avoid the law, live cheaply and satisfy his vices. “I liked Mexico City from the first day of my first visit there,” Burroughs wrote in the introduction to “Queer.” “In 1949, it was a cheap place to live, with a large foreign colony, fabulous whorehouses and restaurants, cockfights and bullfights, and every conceivable diversion. A single man could live well there for two dollars a day.” A 10-minute walk from Cerrada de Medellin is the former site of the Beats’ informal Mexico City headquarters, Orizaba 210. The original building here was demolished and replaced by a red-brick apartment block. Occasionally a lone tourist guide shows up with a handful of travelers, staring at it forlornly before pointing to the neighboring building which he says used to be its twin. In the 1950s, Kerouac,

Burroughs, Cassady, poet Gregory Corso and Ginsberg – whose poem “Howl” launched the Beat movement – all stayed at Orizaba 210. It was there in a rooftop grotto that Kerouac wrote parts of “Mexico City Blues” and his short novel “Tristessa.” Heroin-haunted Burroughs wrote much of “Queer” inside its walls. An obligatory stop on any Beat tour is Plaza Luis Cabrera, on Orizaba at Zacatecas Street, an attractive cafe-ringed plaza with trees and a fountain. In the 1950s it was a favorite hangout for Beat writers talking nirvana in a haze of marijuana, heroin and alcohol. One night, after taking peyote with Burroughs, Kerouac ran to Plaza Luis Cabrera at midnight and lay in the grass to experience the hallucinogen, writes Jorge GarciaRobles, who documented the two authors’ time in Mexico City in his book “Burroughs y Kerouac: dos forasteros perdidos en Mexico.” Kerouac also ended up at the plaza at the end of a rain-soaked walk

while high on morphine. Describing the walk in “Tristessa,” he called Plaza Luis Cabrera “a magnificent fountain and pool in a green park at a round O-turn in residential splendid shape of stone and glass and old grills and scrolly worly lovely majesties.” Kerouac’s surreal stroll that night started in a crime-filled downtown neighborhood, probably La Lagunilla, where he passed a street lined with hundreds of “crooking finger” whores waiting in front of their “crib cells where Big Mamacita sits.” He also passed Plaza Garibaldi – the legendary home of Mexico’s Mariachis – where musicians strum guitars for pesos and drunks stagger out of bars.

He continued past the Palacio de Bellas Artes – an Art Nouveau gem known for murals by Diego Rivera – and down San Juan de Letran street, now part of a thoroughfare called the Eje Central. He described walking 15 blocks down San Juan de Letran, where he let out a morphine-and-alcohol yell of “You’re nuts!” to the crowd on the street. When he eventually reached Roma, he headed down the boulevard Alvaro Obregon, where the median is studded with statues and trees. Visitors seeking to walk in Kerouac’s footsteps will be relatively safe in Plaza Garibaldi, and Alvaro Obregon has bookstores and markets selling arts and crafts.

Tough childhood can lead to success later Q

uestion: Do childhood traumas inevitably twist and warp a person in the adult years? Dr. Dobson: No. It is well known that difficult childhoods leave some people wounded and disadvantaged, but for others, they fuel great achievement and success. The difference appears to be a function of individual temperaments and resourcefulness. In a classic study called “Cradles of Eminence,” Victor and Mildred Goertzel investigated the home backgrounds of three hundred highly successful people. The researchers sought to identify the early experiences that may have contributed to remarkable achievement. All of the subjects were well known for their accomplishments; they included Einstein, Freud, Churchill and many others. The backgrounds of these people proved very interesting. Threefourths of them came from troubled childhoods, enduring poverty, broken homes or parental abuse. One-fourth had physical handicaps. Most of those who became writers and playwrights had watched their own parents embroiled in psychological dramas of one sort or another. The researchers concluded that the need to compensate for disadvantages was a major factor in the drive toward personal achievement. One of the best illustrations of this phenomenon is seen in the life of Eleanor Roosevelt, a former first lady. Being orphaned at ten, she underwent a childhood of utter anguish. She was very homely and never felt she really belonged to anybody. According to Victor Wilson, Newhouse News Service, “She was a rather humorless introvert, a young woman unbelievably shy, unable to overcome her personal insecurity and with a conviction of her own inadequacy.” The world knows, however, that Mrs. Roosevelt rose above her emotional shackles. As Wilson said, “...From some inner wellspring, Mrs. Roosevelt summoned a tough,

unyielding courage, tempered by remarkable selfcontrol and self-discipline...” FOCUS That “inner wellON THE spring” has FAMILY another appropriDr. James ate name: Dobson compensa■■■ tion! Obviously, one’s attitude toward a handicap determines its impact on one’s life. It has become popular to blame adverse circumstances for irresponsible behavior (e.g., poverty causes crime, broken homes produce juvenile delinquents, a sick society imposes drug addiction on its youth). There is some truth in this assumption, since people in those difficult circumstances are more likely to behave in destructive ways. But they are not forced to do so. To say that adverse conditions cause irresponsible behavior is to remove all responsibility from the shoulders of the individual. The excuse is hollow. We must each decide what we will do with inner doubt and outer hardship. The application to an individual family should be obvious. If a child has gone through a traumatic experience or is physically disadvantaged, his or her parents need not give up hope. They should identify his or her strengths and natural abilities, which can be used to overcome the hurdle. The problem that seems so formidable today may become the inspiration for greatness tomorrow. Question: We have a 5-year-old son who has been diagnosed with ADHD. He is really difficult to handle, and I have no idea how to manage him. I know he has a neurological problem; I don’t feel right about making him obey like we do our other children. It is a big problem for us. What do you suggest? Dr. Dobson: I understand your dilemma, but I urge you to discipline your son. Every youngster needs the security of defined limits, and

His personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, has pleaded not guilty to a charge of involuntary manslaughter.

LOS ANGELES (AP) – First the Beatles and Elvis, now Michael Jackson. The acrobatic troupe Cirque du Soleil announced Tuesday that it will put on a live touring show featuring the songs of the King of Pop starting late next year. That will be followed by a permanent production in Las Vegas in 2012 at a property owned by MGM Mirage. The casino company did not say which venue will host the show. A nightclub in Las Vegas will also open with the show. Cirque and Jackson’s estate will each own 50 percent of the project and share equally in the cost of putting it on. The estate will also receive royalties from the use of Jackson’s music and other assets.

the ADHD boy or girl is no exception. Such a child should be held responsible for his or her behavior, although the approach may be a little different. For example, most children can be required to sit on a chair

for disciplinary reasons, whereas some very hyperactive children would not be able to remain there. Similarly, corporal punishment is sometimes ineffective with a highly excitable little bundle of electricity.

As with every aspect of parenthood, disciplinary measures for the ADHD child must be suited to his or her unique characteristics and needs. DR. DOBSON is founder and chairman emeritus of the non-

Real-life rehearsal Dance, music students nurture skills through stage BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Dance and guitar students and teachers at Penn-Griffin School for the Arts approach performing at the “On Stage!” talent showcase Thursday with a different perspective. Since Penn-Griffin is an arts magnet school, students chose to attend and had to audition for admission. Arts classes are part of the regular curriculum at the school, rather than extracurricular activities.

Connors

Many of the students want careers in their respective fields and are well-adjusted to performing for audi-

ences. This will be the third year the 13-member PennGriffin High School Dance Ensemble has performed at “On Stage!” and the fourth year for the PennGriffin Guitar Quartet, all juniors. “Each year the show gets better and better” said Cheri Stokes, dance instructor and group leader. “They’re all very excited. Every year they want to audition; it’s kind of become a tradition for them. This year, we talked about what we could do differently.” The group performs a variety of dance, including African and jazz, but

it will perform a modern dance piece, “Black and Gold,” Thursday. Stokes and the dancers collaborated on the choreography. In addition to getting experience by performing, dancers look forward to the show each year because they’re able to watch groups from other schools and get ideas. Weaver Academy for Performing/Visual Arts and Advanced Technology in Greensboro also has a dance program, and the Penn-Griffin dancers compare and contrast performances, Stokes said. Members of the PennGriffin Guitar Quartet play classical-style guitar, and they will perform Mozart’s “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik,” which was written for strings but adapted for guitar. Guitar Quartet members are serious about classical guitar and frequently

Penn-Griffin teacher Cheri Stokes. participate in extra rehearsals and community performances, such as the Special Olympics and High Point’s Sesquicentennial celebration, said Michael Connors, PennGriffin guitar director and leader of the quartet.

Connors has been at Penn-Griffin since it became an arts magnet school in 2003, and he started the guitar program. “To prepare for a performance and perform really nurtures and utilizes skills that go far beyond the classroom, practice room or stage,” Connors said. “Being able to extend one’s attention span and memory, seeing tasks go through from beginning to end, conquering fear, handling pressure, teamwork, leadership and self-evaluation skills are all qualities that do help students succeed in school, work and life. “If a kid can play a Mozart sonata, they’re more likely to finish reading a chapter or seeing a test through to the end or go through the pressure of a job interview.”

Extra: Students at GTCC Middle College in High Point will film the show and create DVDs that can be ordered for $15 at the show or online at www. guilfordeducationalliance. org. T-shirts will be available for $15. Cost for both the DVD and T-shirt is $25.

Young people reflect on benefits of performing BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – All but one member of Penn-Griffin’s quitar quartet and dance ensemble have performed at “On Stage!” before. Their thoughts on the experience range from school pride and getting exposure for the school, being part of a group, getting nervous, gaining experience to prepare for the professional world and showcasing talent in Guilford County Schools. • On school pride: Ryan Le, guitarist: “It’s cool to represent a school you’ve been with for a long time (since seventh grade). And it’s cool to say, ‘I go to an arts school,’ especially saying, ‘I go for guitar.’” Chelsea Hansen, guitarist: “I

like representing the school because I was here when it was first established as a high school. It’s not well known, so it’s good to get out there and get the school known for programs.” Haley Crumley, dancer: “Because we’re new, we try our hardest to be sure they remember what we did and be a memorable group.” • Being part of a group: Cameron Keever, guitarist: “We have a sense of community, in that the group is a lot like sports and makes the group and whole school sound well prepared.” • Getting nervous: Cameron Keever: “The blinding stage lights help because you can’t see anything.” Ileana Le, guitarist: “I never get nervous beforehand, but I get on

DON DAVIS JR. | HPE

Students in Cheri Stokes’ class will dance at “On Stage!” stage sometimes, and my hands are shaking and it’s like a hot air balloon is inside me.” Michael Connors, guitar teacher: “Ryan (Le) sure doesn’t get nervous. I took them to McDonald’s beforehand last year, and he ate four double cheeseburgers.” • Gaining experience: Tori Catlin, who wants to dance professionally: “It helps me see what it would be like to perform other places than just school, and it gives me an outlook on what a different place will be like and helps me understand what it’s gonna be

like in the professional world.” Courtney Bailey, dancer: “Since we perform in front of school groups most of the time, it’s actually exciting to perform in front of bigger groups.” • On showcasing students county-wide: Merra Price, dancer: “It’s a good performance that shows Guilford County talent because it’s not focused on any one thing – like art, singing or dancing – and it’s different age groups from throughout Guilford County. vknopfler@hpe.com | 888-3601

Unemployed people, numbering about 5,000, wait outside the State Labor Bureau, which housed the State Temporary Employment Relief administration in New York City, on Nov. 24, 1933. Curiosity about the number of people unemployed during the Great Depression inspired one of the questions in this edition of “Ask AP.”

Curiosity about the number of people unemployed during the Great Depression inspired one of the questions in this edition of “Ask AP,” a weekly Q&A column where AP journalists respond to readers’ questions about the news.

What was the highest number of unemployed people during the Depression of the 1930s? Helen Schaible Bismarck, N.D. A. The unemployment rate spiked at 24.9 percent in 1933. The number of out of work people swelled to 12.8 million, while a total of 38.8 million people had jobs. The way the government measured employment was different back then. For instance, figures are based on workers 14 years of age and older. Today’s employment figures are based on workers 16 years and older. As of March, 138.9 million people were employed, while 15 million were without jobs. The unemployment rate stands at 9.7 percent, close to its highest levels since the early 1980s. The

labor force, however, has tripled since 1933. That’s why the unemployment rate is lower now than back then ‚Äî even though there are more people out of work. Jeannine Aversa AP Economics Writer Washington Q. Illegal/Undocumented immigration is a very hot topic in the news. Many who are seen as “anti-immigrant” say they would be supportive if people just immigrated into the U.S. legally. What is the process for a laborer to immigrate legally into the U.S.? Josef Sifuentes Houston A. A worker wanting to come to the U.S. legally is dependent on an employer wanting that worker, and applying for temporary workers to fill jobs that can’t be filled by qualified American workers. There are temporary worker programs for professionals and nonprofessionals. Laborers would generally come to the U.S. with an H-2A visa for temporary or seasonal agricultural workers, or a H-2B visa for temporary nonagricultural workers, such as landscaping, construction, cleaning, and restaurant and hotel jobs. There is no limit on H2A visas, which are not widely used. H-2B visas are limited to 66,000 a year. More detailed information about the process for getting these visas can be found on the tem-

Q. Several times I thought a reporter mentioned that there was an El Nino this year. However, it was colder than normal in the Midwest and East in February and March. In previous El Nino years, I thought it was usually warm and dry in the winter and spring. Is there an El Nino? Dan Punzak Springfield, Ill. A. A moderate-tostrong El Nino is under way and is expected to continue through spring. In the past, El Ninos have been associated with heavy East Coast snowstorms but El Nino winters often tend to be mild over Western Canada and much of the northern United States. This year, however, there was a coconspirator, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s CSI (as in Climate Scene Investigators). A major factor this year was the North Atlantic Oscillation, a fluctuating air-pressure pattern that alternatively strengthens or blocks the stormsteering jet stream over North America. This winter the NAO produced a massive block of high pressure over Greenland that caused the jet stream to flow further south than usual bringing along cold weather from the north. Randolph E.

Women protect river communities BY KAREN SULLIVAN MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS SERVICE

CHARLOTTE – Don’t let the baked goods and colorful table settings fool you. The women who gathered recently at a Mountain Island Lake homeweren’t there for refreshments and light conversation. They’re organizing to take control of the Catawba River’s shores in our region. Newly organized as the Catawba River Women’s Group,

these residents of Mecklenburg and Gaston counties see their communities as emergingareas for growth. They’re not opposed to that, as long as development is sensitive to the environment and maintains the lifestyle in shore communities, including Belmont, Mountain Island and Mount Holly. To be effective in shaping growth that they see as inevitable, a core group of 11 founding members is preparing to expand and build a power base through greater numbers.

The group’s soft-sell approach of education programs and genteel luncheons are in no way an attempt to conceal its agenda. The members’ desire to build a core of committed, informed activists will be made plain, they said. “Where do you see your biggest problems with crime and foreclosures and dilapidated housing?” said Edna Chirico, who came up with the idea for the women’s group. “Those are locations where you do not have a strong sense of community.”

Legal fight over restaurants continues MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS SERVICE

WINSTON-SALEM – Bethany Padron knew that something was up last week when she and a friend dropped by the Waffle House off Peters Creek Parkway. It was close to midnight, and nobody was there. “Waffle House does not close,” Pardon said, not-

ing that the chain’s restaurants are typically open 24 hours. “The lights were on, but it was like driving by a sad, empty house.” As she and many other customers have learned in recent days, a running dispute between Waffle House Inc. and a franchisee has resulted in the closing of two of the 36 Waffle Houses in North

Carolina owned by Gary Fly of Freeway Foods Inc. Many employees from affected restaurants throughout North Carolina anxiously await word on complaints filed after they received worthless paychecks. Last week, a judge in Georgia, where the Waffle House corporation is based, ruled that Freeway Foods is responsible for paying the

Waffle House employees who claimed that they received worthless checks, said Pat Warner, a Waffle House spokesman. “We’re working with Freeway Foods to facilitate that,” Warner said. As of Friday, 36 Waffle House employees throughout North Carolina had filed wage and hour complaints with the N.C. Department of Labor.

Harry Connick Jr. in concert set for Broadway NEW YORK (AP) – Harry Connick Jr. is set to sing again on Broadway. Producers James L. Nederlander and Broadway Across America said last week that the singer would appear this summer Connick Jr. in “Harry Connick Jr. in Concert on Broadway.” It will be a limited engagement of 11 performances. Connick’s show will run July 15 through July 26 at the Neil Simon Theatre. The Grammyand Emmy-winning recording artist last appeared on Broadway in the 2006 Roundabout Theatre Company revival of “The Pajama Game.” Connick received a Tony nomination for his performance.

Cirque to put on show based on Jackson LOS ANGELES (AP) – First the Beatles and Elvis, now Michael Jackson. The acrobatic troupe Cirque du Soleil announced that it will put on a live touring show featuring the songs of the King of Pop starting late next year. That will be followed by a permanent production in Las Vegas in 2012 at a property owned by MGM Mirage Inc. The casino company did not say which venue will host the show. A nightclub in Las Vegas will also open with the show. Cirque and Jackson’s estate will each own 50 percent of the projects and share equally in the cost of putting them on.

LL Cool J’s jacket and hat are among the items on display in a new exhibit about how the Apollo Theater shaped American entertainment at the National Museum of American History in Washington.

Apollo Theater exhibit in DC shows stars’ legacy BY BRETT ZONGKER ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

ASHINGTON – Michael Jackson’s fedora, Ella Fitzgerald’s yellow dress and Louis Armstrong’s trumpet are together in a Smithsonian exhibit celebrating the famed Apollo Theater that helped these stars to shine. The not-yet-built National Museum of African American History and Culture is bringing New York’s Harlem to the nation’s capital with the first-ever exhibit focused on the Apollo, where many musical careers were launched. It opened Friday at the National Museum of American History. About 100 items are on view, representing big names from entertainment today and from decades past. “When I was growing up, the Apollo was

for us our Radio City Music Hall – it was the theater to play in our community,” said singer and actress Leslie Uggams, 66, who toured the exhibit last week. “From the time I was 9 until about 16, I played the Apollo with some of the great, great stars – Ella (Fitzgerald), Diana (Ross), you name them.” The theater opened originally as a segregated, white burlesque hall in 1914. It was renamed the Apollo in 1928 and was early to integrate as black people migrated to Harlem, making it a cultural and political center. It was one of the first places where black performers could speak directly to white audiences, curator Tuliza Fleming said. In 1934, it became the home of a live version of a popular “Amateur Hour” radio show, and Fitzgerald was one of the first winners at age 17.

Like Uggams, who once performed 29 Apollo shows a week, and many others, the late King of Pop started early at the Apollo as well. Jackson won the theater’s Amateur Night as a youngster in 1967 with the Jackson Five. The exhibit traces the Apollo’s history to its place on the campaign trail for President Barack Obama in 2007. Among the items on view are Willie Nelson’s bandanna and sneakers, LL Cool J’s jacket, the Beastie Boys’ boombox, James Brown’s cape and jumpsuit, dresses worn by the Supremes, Miles Davis’ flugelhorn (on public view for the first time) and Sammy Davis’ childhood tap shoes. “For some reason, it just doesn’t seem like old, vintage stuff,” dancer Savion Glover said during a preview while taking a look at Davis’ shoes. “It’s fresh. It seems like it doesn’t need to be in a museum yet.”

At 40, Jennifer Lopez balances motherhood, marriage, movies BY MIKE CIDONI ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

AS VEGAS – Two children and two years later, Jennifer Lopez has resurfaced with a “Back-up Plan.” “This movie is about a woman who gets to a point in her life,” Lopez says. “She’s successful ... She has a full life. But, at the same time, she hasn’t found that person to share her life with and to have a family with, and so she decides to do it on her own. She decides to have a baby on her own.” The film, which opened Friday, is part of the mid-life movie genre that has served actresses well of late, including such blockbusters as “The Proposal” and “It’s Complicated,” starring Sandra Bullock, 45, and Meryl Streep, 60, respectively. “The Back-up Plan” marks Lopez’s first film since turning 40 last July. “It is a great time to be an actress,” Lopez said at a recent convention of theater owners in Las Vegas. “It seems like you can work and do anything at any age... It’s a great time that people are just seeing people’s souls.” “It’s not so superficial anymore,” the actress continued. “Women have proven that they are viable in this business, as well, and it doesn’t matter if you’re not 21 years old. It just matters that you’re great at what you do. And that’s exciting.”

“Back-up Plan” works through a variety of pregnancy issues – now familiar turf for Lopez, who gave birth to fraternal twins, Emme and Maximilian, in February 2008. One thing in the film she couldn’t relate to: the last act’s big (and hilari-

It was a much more controlled atmosphere: no singing, no drums. But there was a little bit of music. But other than that, no similarities.” In addition to making a movie and caring for her children (with musician-husband Marc Anthony), Lopez continues to run her empire, which also includes a fragrance line, clothing and music.

Willie Nelson returns to his roots with ‘Country Music’ BY CHRIS TALBOTT AP ENTERTAINMENT WRITER

illie Nelson has been all over the map the last decade, from reggae to jazz to pop standards. He makes his return to his personal roots with the aptly titled, “Country Music,” Nelson and his return is welcomed with much enthusiasm. The T Bone Burnettproduced “Country Music” showcases Nelson at his best, working through a series of standards that have been name-checked over the years but largely forgotten in the popular consciousness. With Burnett assembling a top-notch roster of players – most of whom played on the Robert Plant-Alison Krauss collaboration “Raising Sand” – in Nashville, Tenn., Nelson hits several high points over the album’s 15 tracks. There’s his energetic take on “Pistol Packin’ Mama,” a haunting

In this CD cover image released by Rounder Records, Willie Nelson’s “Country Music” is shown. version of “Nobody’s Fault but Mine,” a caboose-shaking romp on “Freight Train Boogie” and an earnest version of “Dark as a Dungeon,” which feels raw and immediate, thanks to current events. The Grammy- and Oscar-winning Burnett has been on quite a run lately (he won his most recent Oscar with his work on the movie “Crazy Heart”), and he has the highly anticipated pair-

ing of Elton John and Leon Russell due soon. This is the first time he’s worked with Nelson, though, and “Country Music” makes you wonder why it took so long. For all his rollicking good humor, Nelson is often at his best when tackling religious material. That’s true here on the spare “Satan Your Kingdom Must Come Down” track, a song with a true sense of gravitas.

Pot smokers out in nation, proud for high holiday BY LISA LEFF ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

Ryan Graham sits at his computer showing the Web site Project Race founded by his mother at his home in North Lauderdale, Fla. Project Race was founded in 1991 to fight for a multiracial classification in the census. Graham is the son of a black-white marriage and defines himself as multiracial.

Black or biracial? Census forces a choice for some BY JESSE WASHINGTON AP NATIONAL WRITER

here were 784,764 U.S. residents who described their race as white and black in the last census. But that number didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include Laura Martin, whose father is black and mother is white. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always just checked black on my form,â&#x20AC;? said Martin, a 29-year-old university employee in Las Vegas. She grew up surrounded by black family and friends, listening to black music and active in black causes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m black.â&#x20AC;? Nor did it include Steve Bumbaugh, a 43-year-old foundation director in Los Angeles, who also has a black father and white mother. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have been able to drink out of the white and colored water fountains during Jim Crow,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I most assuredly would have been a slave. As far as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m concerned, that makes me black.â&#x20AC;? Friday was the deadline to mail 2010 census forms. Although the results are expected to show an increase in the number of multiracial people, some AfricanAmericans with one white parent are deciding to simply â&#x20AC;&#x153;stay black.â&#x20AC;? This is only the second census to allow people to identify themselves by more than one race. About 7 million people, or 2.4 percent of the U.S. population, chose that option in 2000. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible to know how many of the 35 million people counted as â&#x20AC;&#x153;black aloneâ&#x20AC;? in 2000

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that the decision to check one box â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or more â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on the census is often steeped in history, culture, pride and mentality. Exhibit A is President Barack Obama. He declined to check the box for â&#x20AC;&#x153;whiteâ&#x20AC;? on his census form, despite his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-known whiteness. Obama offered no explanation, but Leila McDowell has an idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Put a hoodie on him and have him walk down an alley, and see how biracial he is then,â&#x20AC;? said McDowell, vice president of communications for the NAACP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being black in this country is a political construct,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though my father is white and I have half his genes, when I apply for a loan, when I walk into the car lot, when I apply for a job, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see me as half white, they see me as black. If you have any identifying characteristics, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re black.â&#x20AC;? There is evidence, though, that while some may be resistant to the idea of identifying as

skinned man is president, and for many white people, one white parent means you are NOT black. But the logic is simple for Ryan Graham, the brown-skinned son of a white-black marriage who defines himself as multiracial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Say youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wearing a black-and-white shirt. Somebody asks, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;What color is your shirt?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s black and white. There you go. People ask me, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;What race are you?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m black and white. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that simple,â&#x20AC;? said Graham, a 25-yearold sales consultant from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Grahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother founded Project Race in 1991 to fight for a multiracial classification in the census. Graham testified before Congress on the issue when he was 8. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disappointed that Obama chose not to check the white box on the census, but said that people should be allowed to define themselves however they choose.

multiracial, white attitudes are moving in that direction. In a January poll by the Pew Research Center, 53 percent of white people said Obama is â&#x20AC;&#x153;mixed raceâ&#x20AC;? and 24 percent said he is black. In contrast, 55 percent of black people said Obama is black and 34 percent said he is mixed. This also may represent a new twist on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;one dropâ&#x20AC;? concept, which for centuries held that even one black ancestor made a person black. Now a brown-

OAKLAND, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stoked by advancing legalization efforts, pot smokers across the country lit up in public parks, outside statehouses and in the posh confines of a Hummer parked outside a pot gardening superstore to observe the movementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual high holiday. Those who werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t within whiffing distance of a college campus or a reggae concert may not have realized Tuesday was 4/20, the celebrationcum-mass civil disobedience derived from â&#x20AC;&#x153;420â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; insider shorthand for cannabis consumption. Advocates from New Hampshire to California trumpeted marijuanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rising commercial and political acceptance while producing collective clouds of pungent smoke â&#x20AC;&#x201C; often under the watchful eyes of law enforcement officers who for the most part let the parties proceed. A daylong rally in Denverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Civil Center Park drew thousands of people, as did the public smoking event that persisted at the University of Colorado in Boulder despite discouragement from college administrators.
