City to shift pickup of recyclables BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – The city next month will start converting the current weekly collection of recyclables to every other week for residential customers. The move puts into effect a plan the City Council first approved during last year’s budget process as a cost-cutting measure estimated to save $500,000 each year. The biweekly pickups will begin the week of May 31. City officials said they have seen about a 30 percent increase in the amount of re-
cyclable materials collected since they began distributing 95-gallon recycling carts last year. All single-family homes have received the carts, which replaced 18-gallon bins that were previously used. With more than five times the volume of the old bins, officials said the carts provide plenty of room and they don’t expect to start seeing more recyclables put into garbage containers, which crews will continue to pick up weekly. “We do hope that’s not the case,” said Assistant City Manager Pat Pate. “We would encourage people to continue to pack materials
in recycling containers as best they can. If they have one week that is particularly heavy for recyclables, we would suggest storing the excess materials in their garage or somewhere else until the next collection day.” Previously distributed guidelines to recycling customers suggest placing the carts at the curb for collection when they are at least 75 percent full. The city has switched to automated trucks and has reduced routes and personnel necessary for the solid waste and recycling program. Customers are paying a $1

monthly fee to help cover the cost of the new containers that officials have said will be phased out. There are no plans to switch to biweekly garbage pickups. “The reason garbage is every week has to do with the general nature of what is put into garbage containers,” Pate said. “Particularly with summer coming up, we wouldn’t want them sitting out that long because of rodent considerations and other factors.” A route map that clarifies the new recycling pickup days will be distributed to citizens.

Both Emily Medlin, grade five, and Rachel Edens, grade four, said they love singing and that they sing in their rooms and hum under their breaths when singing aloud wouldn’t be appropriate. Signing the contract also
was easy for the girls. “It’s no problem because I do a lot of extra activities,” said Rachel, who also is a cheerleader and thinks she would like to teach, maybe even cheerleading, when she grows up. “You have to sign for Clown Club, and I hate getting in trouble, so I knew I would sign,” Emily said.
“Students have to make a commitment. ... “I kinda got used to doing it,” Emily said of singing in front of a large group. “Not to brag, but I got into all-county chorus, and that was scary.” Both Moorefield and Florence Principal James McNeil attended “On Stage!” last year and were so impressed they imme-

GUILFORD COUNTY – School district officials approved the final details Thursday for their federal grant applications for two High Point magnet schools. Officials are seeking $6.4 million in funding during a three-year period to help adjust magnet themes at four schools including Montlieu Math and Science Academy, which would focus on technology, and Parkview A+ cultural arts, which would offer more arts specialties. The Guilford County Board of Education voted 5-3 for to apply for the grants. District officials began looking at Bluford Communications and Hampton Leadership Academy in Greensboro and the High Point schools because they met less than 70 percent of district academic and curriculum target goals.
At Montlieu, students will learn in a collaborative, project-based environment and will have access to one-on-one technology, such as netbook computers or iPod Touch devices. Parents will have oppor-

So far the Florence chorus hasn’t performed outside school, but they will sing and dance at a nursing home in May. “It teaches kids to work in a group, how to cooperate and accept others as they are,” Moorefield said. “It gives them a chance to excel at something they’re good at.

Scores turn out to discuss deer solutions in Chapel Hill MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
CHAPEL HILL – Killing animals doesn’t sit well with a lot of people in Chapel Hill. Trouble is, humans are the only natural predators left to control the deer population. Nearly 100 people crowded into the Town Hall chamber last Monday night to talk about how – and even whether – to do that. Deer have multiplied 60-fold in the past century. There are more than 30 million in the U.S. and more than a million in North Carolina. People have driven out the wolves, leaving deer to feed on plant life with no native carnivores to control their growth. Duke Forest manager Judd Ede-

They asked town staff to conduct a deer census, examine the health of plant life in the town and propose options for reducing the deer population – including contraception and bowhunting. Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt also asked for information on whether culling would have an effect lasting long enough to justify the conflict it would create in the community. A recent two-month bowhunt in Governor’s Club sparked a lot of controversy but netted just seven deer.

BURLINGTON – There were 130 homeless people living in Alamance County during the official state head count this winter. Almost double that amount are perilously close to losing their homes, according to the first-ever count of Alamance County residents who are sharing homes with other families to save money or because they lost their homes. On Jan. 27, there were at least 216 residents sharing residences with other families. Of that population, classified as “atrisk” by the N.C. Coalition to End Homelessness and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 127 were children. Within two weeks, ABSS reported the at-risk population had grown by another 50 people, said Dianne Shipmon, chairwoman of the Alamance County Interagency Council for Homeless Assistance.

He said the drivethrough drop off was a very easy way to recycle them. “It’s the right thing to do,” he said. “It keeps them out of the landfill and seeping into the groundwater.” John Birkholz with Synergy said that electronic waste takes up space in landfills and becomes toxic waste. Monitors are made of leaded glass, which breaks down and leaks lead into the ground, even if there is a landfill liner. LCD screens contain mercury. And most electronics use batteries, which should also be recycled.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT US The High Point Enterprise
The state and HUD track each county’s homeless and at-risk populations by annual point-in-time counts to help determine funding to agencies that assist the homeless. In Alamance County, that includes agencies such as Allied Churches of Alamance County, Residential Treatment Services of Alamance and Family Abuse Services of Alamance. HUD also uses the numbers to ensure individuals aren’t “doubledipping” for assistance, Shipmon said. She and school officials believe the high numbers of at-risk residents are influenced by the Hispanic population – which commonly shares housing – and the county’s high rate of unemployment. “It’s an ever-increasing situation,” Shipmon said. “Even for someone with no criminal record, it’s extremely hard to get a job right now. If someone has a criminal record, it’s ten times harder than ever to find a job.”

Obama’s plans damage future of space exploration Astronauts landed on the moon in 1969. They did not go there with tourist luggage in hand just to see what it looked like. The goal was to come back to stay. In 1952, scientist, engineer and designer Werner von Braun published his concept for a manned space station. The ultimate purpose would be to provide a platform for manned lunar expeditions and colonization of space and to establish a permanent lunar base. That would be the beginning. Von Braun envisioned concepts for a manned Mars mission that would use the space station as a starting point. The U.S. government had a second, and primary, use for the space station and that was to contain the Soviet Union. The station would give the United States orbital to ground abilities to launch armed missiles. Facing severe budget restraints, von Braun resigned from NASA in 1972 when it became clear that NASA’s vision was no longer compatible with his own. It was frustrating then, as it is today, to see support go away after reaching the moon. President Obama has said “Why go back, we have been there.” But, we continued, and the space program has made contributions far too many to count, from lightweight frames and materials to nanos, communications, electronics, etc. I believe there are no physical or psychological barriers to space settlement, although there are technological and financial hurdles and risks. The long-range payoffs are huge. We have started with the first step on the moon and development of the space station. Do we just quit and relinquish our heavy payload lift abilities over to the Russians like Obama has decided? And, handing this astronomically huge task to private enterprise is tantamount to quitting. Settling space is very much like pioneering and settling America or Australia. Do we just quit? DOUGLAS S.

Gov. Bev Perdue refused to come to High Point to view the extensive tornado damage, but she decided to come to High Point to tour the furniture market. This begs the question of whether her priorities are in the proper order for the best interests of the citizens of North Carolina? To say she did not want to “scare” the furniture market people away, this is a poor excuse.

Critics of Pastor Wright ignore his military service a sheriff’s office that has reduced crime and received numerous awards of excellence. The rhetoric of those running against me would have you believe different. One states that I cater to special interest, but does not state who the special interest is. I wonder if he might be referring to the Jail Ministry, Alcohol and Drug Services, Job on the Outside, Partners Ending Homelessness, The Animal Shelter, boards I serve on, or could he mean the March of Dimes, Special Olympics, Hospice, the Red Cross, SPCA, Humane Society or the Women’s Resource Center, some of the charities I work with. Another candidate accuses me of not being responsive to the citizens. This same person is facing criminal charges and has a tax warrant from the state for failure to pay taxes, not the kind of person I would want for a sheriff, how about you? This same candidate, states he would park patrol cars, and take Tasers and SRO’s out of the schools making our schools and communities less safe for us and our kids. He also accuses the sheriff’s office of profiling people. To this I admit, we profile criminals, we catch them and we put them in jail. As one can see during a campaign, words are cheap and are often spoken to appeal to the group one is speaking too. This type of
campaign is reckless and irresponsible. Having been Guilford’s sheriff, I know this is not what Guilford residents are looking for. As sheriff, I have represented residents in a straightforward, ethical manner. If re-elected, I will continue to do so. I would appreciate their vote on May 4th. SHERIFF BJ BARNES Greensboro
I had positive impression of Roberts, Oak Hill School Sara Roberts has been replaced as principal of Oak Hill Elementary School. I cannot say whether or not the Guilford County school system has made a wise decision in this move. I do know my Rotary Club has donated more than 100 books to the school’s library over the past three years. During all of my visits to the school, I have been impressed with the positive atmosphere in the hallways and the library. The students appeared well-behaved and wanting to learn. Nonetheless, it is an understatement to say that Oak Hill presents a unique challenge to any principal. I always found Roberts to be cordial and very professional. She has my utmost respect, and I wish her well. BLAIR RANKIN High Point
I listen to O’Reilly and Hannity throw Pastor Wright under the bus. To those who do not know it, Pastor Wright spent six years in the service of this country. O’Reilly and Hannity never spent one day in uniform. Hannity talks about the president spending 20 years in Wright’s church. I never hear either of them talking about all those young choir boys being raped by the Catholic priests of the churches that they belong to. WHEELER A. LEWIS High Point

OUR MISSION

We’ve had reminders change is not inevitable
C
all it the myth of inevitability. It is the mind-set that says enlightenment and progress are the inescapable byproducts of time. As in a reader who asked last week during an online chat how I thought slavery would have ended had the South won the Civil War. That it might not have ended at all did not enter his calculations. Slavery would’ve ended, he assured me, through slave revolt “or the onslaught of time/world justice.” It is a common enough conceit, this idea that time inexorably brings change. Whenever I hear it, I am reminded of a passage in Martin Luther King’s “Letter From a Birmingham Jail.” That attitude, wrote King, stems from “the strangely irrational notion that there is something in the very flow of time that will inevitably cure all ills. Actually, time itself is neutral; it can be used either destructively or constructively.” “Human progress,” he added, “never rolls in on wheels of inevitability.” So time doesn’t bring change. People bring change over time.
One of those people, Dorothy Height, died last week. Another, Benjamin Hooks, died a few days before. She was 98, grande dame of the civil OPINION rights movement, founder of the Black Leonard Family Reunion, Pitts fighter for women’s ■■■ rights and, for 40 years, president of the National Council of Negro Women. He was 85, organizer of lunch counter sit-ins during the 1960s, leader of the NAACP for 16 years, and first black member of the Federal Communications Commission, from which perch he pushed for minority ownership of television and radio stations. One suspects their names are little known to most Americans. Education in history being what it is these days, one is gratified enough when kids can identify King and know that his accomplishments do not include freeing the slaves. But for every King, for every Rosa Parks or Malcolm X whose name is bold-faced in history,
there are a hundred who are less well known. There are a Diane Nash and a C.T. Vivian, a Stanley Levinson and a Bob Moses, a Bayard Rustin and a Fannie Lou Hamer, there are church mothers who walked on feeble legs rather than ride Jim Crow buses, there are children who marched exuberantly past snarling police dogs, there are illiterate sharecroppers who made their marks on voter registration forms in the full knowledge that this act of defiance might cost them their lives. There are envelope stuffers, door knockers and foot soldiers whose names never found their way into history. And there are Dorothy Height and Benjamin Hooks. We take progress for granted in this country. We stand on the shoulders of giants and think the view is great because WE are so tall. We tend to think – especially if we are black and young – that our freedoms were somehow preordained. Of course, we can take any open seat on the bus. Of course, we can vote. Of course, we can use the library or the park. It’s 2010, after all. Time brings change.
YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.
Height knew better. When people would tell her the time was not ripe for a given thing, she would challenge them to “ripen the time.” Hooks knew better, too. “I wish I could tell you,” he once said, “every time I was on the highway and couldn’t use a restroom. My bladder is messed up because of that. Stomach is messed up from eating cold sandwiches. So I can’t tell you how I feel about the question, ‘Has integration worked?’ All these intellectual super-egoists sit around trying to pinpoint where it hasn’t. But I have to begin at the fundamental issue that I can drive from Houston to my home in Memphis and stop for a hamburger.” Two great Americans died recently after long lives spent creating the world we take for granted. Lives that remind us human progress does NOT roll in “wheels of inevitability.” Change is a conscious decision.

Thousands lose homes in Manila slum fire
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) – President Barack Obama’s Middle East envoy wrapped up his latest diplomatic mission Sunday without getting the Palestinians to agree to indirect peace talks with Israel, but there were signs the impasse could be broken soon. George Mitchell said he would return to the region next week, signaling he is making progress. Palestinian officials said President Mahmoud Abbas plans to consult with Arab countries at the end of the week and could soon be heading to the White House for talks with Obama. Abbas needs to decide whether to engage with Israel, with Mitchell as a go-between, even though Israel has rejected his demands to freeze new construction for Jews in east Jerusalem, the Palestin-

80 Afghan schoolgirls fall ill KABUL (AP) – Dozens of Afghan schoolgirls have fallen ill in recent days after reporting a strange odor in their classrooms in northern Afghanistan, prompting an investigation into whether they were targeted by militants who oppose education for girls or victims of mass hysteria.
Either way, the reports from three schools within 2 miles of one another in Kunduz province have raised alarm. The latest cases occurred Sunday, when 13 girls became sick, Kunduz provincial spokesman Mahbobullah Sayedi said. Another 47 complained of dizziness and
nausea the day before, and 23 fell ill last Wednesday. Elsewhere in Afghanistan on Sunday, hundreds of people blocked a main road in Logar province, west of Kabul, and burned several trucks to protest what they said were civilian deaths in NATO operations.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) – A huge fire sweeping through a shantytown outside the Philippine capital has destroyed about 300 houses and left about 7,000 people homeless. Metropolitan Manila Fire Marshal Pablito Cordeta says about 200 firetrucks are battling the fire that started at midafternoon Sunday and was still burning at nightfall. It spread rapidly in the slum in Quezon city because of strong winds and the scorching summer heat. Firefighters struggled to penetrate alleys, which were clogged by people trying to save their belongings. Residents wept as they watched their burning houses.

Race for top cop heats up Randolph County sheriff faces former employee in primary BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
RANDOLPH COUNTY – Randolph County Sheriff Maynard Reid is trying to fend off a challenge from a former employee as he attempts to retain his seat in the May 4 Republican primary. Gary Davis, 53, a former lieutenant with the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office, said he decided to retire early after Reid
Reid
Davis
learned of his intentions to run. Reid would not comment on Davis’ candidacy. “You get to the point and time where you get to a certain age, where you need to do it or it’s going to be too late,” Davis said of his candidacy for sheriff. “Plus, there are some things going on that I don’t agree with.” Davis, who has 20 years of experience in law enforcement, said he doesn’t
like the sheriff’s method of hiring employees, while claiming that Randolph County residents are not getting served like they should be. If elected as sheriff, Davis’ goals for the department are for more and better training, a renewed dedication to public service, reorganization and change, an updated professional office, a new promotional process built on performance and put in place a full-time internal affairs investigator. A law enforcement veteran of 32 years who was elected sheriff in 2006, Reid said he is running for sheriff because he likes the position and enjoys helping people. He
said the sheriff’s office is one of the best in the state. “I think that people have been satisfied with our job so far,” Reid said. “I certainly hope they will put us back into office.” Under his leadership, Reid said the sheriff’s office has made many arrests in Internet crimes against children by partnering with several counties, including Guilford County. The sheriff also touted the fact that the department’s vice and narcotics unit has had at least two raids a week on suspected drug dealers during the last four years. “I think we are making a positive impact
against these sexual predators who are online trying to lure the children of this county into all kinds of crazy mess,” he said. Reid noted that the sheriff’s office has hired a gang specialist and created an all-volunteer special search team. He also said major drug seizures have paid for a lot of new equipment. “The uniform crime reports for Randolph County are down 11 percent,” he said. “In these tough economic times, when crime is going up all around you and you have a 11 percent decrease from last year, I feel really good about that.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

List of donors to Avenue of Flags. 2B
BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
HIGH POINT – For Jordan Washburn, the American flag flying on Main Street will represent more than the banner of freedom. Washburn recently contributed to a project to recognize and honor local heroes with a display of flags. The Avenue of Flags is being designed as a tribute to the sacrifices of military personnel, as well as those who contributed to the community in other ways. Washburn’s flag will fly in memory of his father, former High Point Mayor Jess Washburn, under whose leadership the city’s primary water supply, Oak Hollow Lake, was created. “I honored my dad with a flag, as he was truly one of my heroes in the way he lived his life and in his love for the city he served so well,” Washburn said. “Not a summer passes, if we have a drought, without people telling me we can thank your Dad that our city not only has plenty of water, but enough we can help other communities.” City Councilman Latimer Alexander is spearheading the Avenue of Flags and said he hopes more people will be moved to make the same gesture as Washburn. Since rolling out the idea, Alexander said about 25 flags have been claimed for the initial display along Main Street between Russell and Montlieu avenues – an area that can accommodate up to 77 flags. The goal is to have them up for Memorial Day or Flag Day, which is June 14, and display them annually on those days as well as the Fourth of July and Veterans Day. The flags are available to members of the public for a $150 donation, which will provide a flag and a mount. The city will put the flags up, take them down and maintain them. “It doesn’t necessarily have to be a veteran who is honored. Everybody has a role model,” said Alexander. “Every time I talk to someone who is making a donation and they tell me who they’re honoring, it’s always a wonderful human-interest story.” Stewart Hartley of High Point decided to honor his father, Edgar Hartley, and others in his family who served in the military. “Everybody grew up knowing him. He had six boys in his family, and all six of them served in the (military) – five of them during World War II and one during the Korean conflict,” Hartley said. “I just thought it was a nice idea to start with, and I thought it was a good way to honor the family.” pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

HPU pays tribute to faculty member ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
HIGH POINT – A former longtime High Point University faculty member now has a garden named in his honor. High Point University celebrated Arbor Day on April 22 with a special tribute to the late Roy Epperson. The ceremony was held in the Hoffman Amphitheater at David R. Hayworth University Park. The Philosophy Club named a garden in honor of Epperson and also dedicated a tree to him in recognition of his service for the past 40 years at HPU. “The Dr. Epperson Garden will be planted this summer from samples from his garden and will be located between Congdon Science Hall and the Hayworth Fine Arts Center,” said HPU first lady Mariana Qubein. “The arts and sciences were always his love, and I think that it will be very special.”

Armed man arrested as Obama departs

---
ASHEVILLE (AP) – An Ohio man has been charged after authorities spotted him with a gun in a North Carolina airport parking lot as Air Force One was departing Sunday afternoon. Joseph McVey, 23, is charged going armed in terror of the public, a misdemeanor, said Asheville Regional Airport Police Capt. Kevan Smith. Air-

port police saw McVey get out of a car about 2 p.m. in the rental car return lot and he had a gun, Smith said. He was taken into custody immediately and was being held at the Buncombe County jail. Security was heightened at the airport because President Barack Obama was leaving after vacationing in the state, headed to the memo-
rial service for the 29 West Virginia coal miners killed in an explosion. The suspect was nowhere near the president’s plane and was in a public area. Obama also visited 91year-old evangelist Billy Graham’s home after spending the weekend in Asheville. McVey’s car had strobe lights like a police car
might, but the suspect is not in law enforcement, said Smith. The investigation into what McVey was doing with a gun and why his car was equipped with strobe lights is continuing, Smith said. Local police were in charge of the investigation. The Secret Service had no comment on the arrest, deferring to airport police.

Perdue faces uphill battle Sechrest to reorganize government RALEIGH (AP) – Gov.

Perdue’s announcement that she’ll tackle both of these reforms – made in a short aside during last week’s rollout of her state budget proposal – is part of her announced priority to “set government straight” by making it more responsive and efficient when state tax dollars are scarce. The governor said by November she’ll have a reorganization plan to present to lawmakers. She also said she’d give lawmakers in two to three weeks a
Former labor secretary dies at 98 WASHINGTON (AP) – W. Willard Wirtz, a lawyer and labor arbitrator who was labor secretary in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations but broke publicly with Lyndon Johnson over Vietnam, has died. Wirtz, 98, died Saturday of natural causes at his home in Washington, his son Philip said Sunday. Wirtz left a Chicago law firm to join the Kennedy administration as undersecretary of labor in 1961. President John F. Kennedy promoted him to the top job in 1962 just one day after naming Labor Secretary Arthur J. Goldberg to the Supreme Court. Wirtz continued in the post after Johnson succeeded Kennedy in 1963 and stayed on until Johnson completed his term in January 1969. He remained in Washington and resumed the practice of law, often serving on boards and pursuing labor-related projects. His wife, Jane, who died in 2002, was a prominent Washington socialite who was active in political and social organizations.

reporters. Everyone likes the idea of making government more lean and eliminating state panels that seemingly have outlived their usefulness. But the opposition comes in the details. Lawmakers and special interests worry about losing their political turf and what they believe are important government duties and avenues for citizen involvement. “We have some areas where we can consolidate now,” said 13-term Rep. Jim Crawford, DGranville, after a meeting when Perdue’s budget was presented to legislators, but “you know how it is when it gets to this crowd. They’ve all got something they want to protect.”

Media matriarch dies from cancer SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) – Allison Stacey Cowles, a member of a Spokane family with large media holdings and the wife of retired New York Times patriarch Arthur “Punch” Sulzberger, has died at the age of 75. The Spokesman-Review said Cowles died late Saturday from pancreatic cancer. Cowles married Sulzberger in 1996, four years after her first husband, William H. Cowles III, died of a heart attack while jogging. Sulzberger was chairman and chief executive officer of The New York Times Co. The couple moved to Spokane sev-

Wounded warrior official forced out WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Pentagon official in charge of the wounded warrior program said Sunday he has been forced to resign, as the military continues to struggle with how best to care for troops injured in combat.

Obama: West Virginia miners died in pursuit of better life BECKLEY, W.Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; They lived and they died pursuing the American Dream, working in dangerous conditions underground to help keep the lights on across the country, a somber President Barack Obama said Sunday in a eulogy to the workers who died in the worst mine accident in a generation.
President, evangelist Graham share a prayer MONTREAT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; President Barack Obama made a pilgrimage Sunday to Billy Grahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mountainside home, concluding his North Carolina vacation with his first meeting with the ailing evangelist. The 48-year-old president made the short drive to Montreat from Asheville, where he spent the weekend, to see the 91year-old Graham and son Franklin, also an evangelist.
During the visit, which lasted about 30 minutes, Obama had a private prayer and conversation with Billy Graham. The evangelist gave Obama two Bibles, one for him and one for the first lady, Graham spokesman Larry Ross said. Obama was â&#x20AC;&#x153;extraordinarily gratified that he took the time to meet with him,â&#x20AC;? White House spokesman Bill Burton said. Franklin Graham said his father and Obama did
Birthday parties for dead child cause parents pain
D
ear Abby: Nine years ago, my sister and I gave birth on the same day. Her daughter lived; my son died the next day. At my nieceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday parties my family insists on bringing gifts for my deceased son. My niece opens his gifts and my mother and sister then take them to the cemetery. They also order a special birthday cake for him along with the one for my niece. I have tried telling them several times that this is confusing to my 6-year-old son, and it depresses my husband and me. My husband refuses to attend any more of my nieceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday parties until the gifts/cake for our deceased son stop, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m about ready to join him. Are we being â&#x20AC;&#x153;too uptight,â&#x20AC;? as my family says, and is this behavior on the part of my family normal? Are we right to ask them to stop? And how do we convey this to them without hurting their feelings again? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mourning Mother in Big Spring, Texas Dear Mourning Mother: The practice of taking gifts to the deceased does occur in other cultures, and is considered normal in those cultures. However, for your mother and sister to insist upon doing so when you and your husband have told them that it causes you pain is wrong. Tell them before the next party that you do

Most days, they would come home. Most days, but not that day.â&#x20AC;?
The president told the families of the workers killed in the Upper Big Branch Mine that the nation would honor their memories by improving safety in the mines. Obama spoke broadly about the 29 workers killed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In coveralls and hard-toe boots, a hardhat over their heads, they would sit quietly
ADVICE Dear Abby
not want it to happen, and exactly why. If they disregard your wishes, follow your husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead and skip the parties, too.
â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013;
Dear Abby: I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to grow up. I think I may have something similar to a Peter Pan complex. I often fantasize about my childhood. I miss it more than I should. I am a 25year-old female. I also do things that people usually do at younger ages. I put stickers all over everything. I like coloring books, and feel comfortable in kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; clothing. I watch youthoriented TV shows people my age are not interested in. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in college, and try hard to put these things behind me, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a constant battle. They stay in the forefront of my mind. With each passing year it gets harder to hide. My parents think I act this way for attention, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s embarrassing and I often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing something childish. In contrast, my big brother (age 29) is out of college, married and leading a positive, normal life. Do I need help? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Childish Adult Dear Childish Adult: When someone is a child, she isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready to assume
the responsibilities of adulthood. But when an adult clings to the trappings of childhood as you have, it may be because the responsibilities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and privileges â&#x20AC;&#x201C; of adulthood are in some way threatening. Do you need help? Possibly, because whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on is troubling you. And the place to find it is in the counseling department of your student health center. Dear Abby: While in a department store recently, I lost my credit cards, driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license, important papers and a sizable sum of money. Two employees called me later to say they had found my belongings. When I returned to the store to pick up my things, I presented the young women with a basket of fruits and chocolate along with my thanks. Some friends told me I was wrong not to reward them with money. Did I do the right thing? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In Luck in New York Dear In Luck: It was thoughtful of you to bring the fruits and chocolate, but if the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sizable sum of moneyâ&#x20AC;? was still in your wallet, it would have been â&#x20AC;&#x153;sweeterâ&#x20AC;? had you given them some money in addition.

SPRING LAKE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Gary Eastburn has lived with painful memories in the 25 years since his wife and two of this daughters were stabbed to death in North Carolina. T h e man accused of Eastburn killing them was found guilty and sentenced to death in 1986, but then was acquitted in a 1989 retrial.
Gary Eastburn says he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dwell on the gory crime scene photos. Eastburn thought that was the end of the story. But a new trial this year brought a different ending. The suspect, retired Master Sgt. Timothy Hennis, was recalled to active duty and given an Army court martial at Fort Bragg. On April 15, he was sentenced to death. Eastburn says he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dwell on the gory crime scene photos that were displayed at the trial, but on the happy family pictures that also were shown to the jury. And now he can put them away.

oseph Loverede was a worker in the Harber Corp.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s metalworking plant on the north side of Chicago on April 16, 1953. He was going about one of his duties, working a buffer, when a belt slipped off the machine, causing sparks to fly. The sparks ignited a fine aluminum dust in the air, causing an exploFIREHOUSE sion that CHAT led to a fast-movLee ing fire Knight in the â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; four-story metal products factory. The fire shot hundreds of feet into the air and was even more intense because of high winds. One survivor covered in bandages later said it was like looking into a gun and having it go off in your face. Approximately 100 people were working when the explosion occurred. Several died in the initial explosion, while others fled, with clothes burning, toward a single fire escape. Terrified workers found the fire escape packed as people tried to escape, with some reports that the escape route was blocked by flames shooting from a second-story window. Driven by the fire and intense heat, many people jumped from the third-floor windows. Initial reports found it difficult to pin down the number of workers unaccounted for. Wrecking crews knocked down walls in danger of collapsing, while firefighters dug through the watersoaked ruins looking for victims. Digging nonstop through the smoldering rubble with a claw shovel, searchers eventually recovered 34 bodies, one of those being Harry Brady, vice president of the company. Twenty-nine people were hospitalized in serious condition. An inquest was immediately held to determine the cause of the fire. The factory owner, Titus Haffa, was a former city alderman who subsequently faced a coronerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jury. One key finding that could not be explained was that during renovations, an interior stairway and the front fire escape had been removed, leaving only one fire escape for the four-story building. News reports stated that Titus was shocked and contrite. He promised to turn the site into a playground for children as a memorial to all who died. One must wonder how many lives would have been spared by a sufficient number of exits. 24/7/365: You call we respond.

The possibilities are many, and digestive enzyme lack is really toward the bottom of the possibility list. I am not aware of an herbal preparation that supplies testosterone. If there is one, such a preparation isn’t subjected to the same kind of stringent standards that medicines are. If you really are testosterone deficient, a blood test will prove it, and a prescription testosterone can be obtained. DR.

Actor says kids enjoy this ‘Hamlet’
BABY BASICS
---
BY VICKI KNOPFLER ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
H
IGH POINT – Actor J Hernandez finds more similarity than difference between the “Shakespeare To Go” version of “Hamlet” and a formal production. He and his five fellow actors take liberties in order to make the production fun for the audience, but also to keep it fresh for themselves. “We throw in something new, and the kids seem to love it,” he said. Hernandez, a native of Texas who lives in Virginia when he’s not on the road for the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival, has a master’s degree in directing from Texas State University and a master’s in fine arts from the University of Virginia. “For me, if you stay true to the words, if you’re not taking away from what Shakespeare put down and just adding some of your own flair, but giving what the playwright has given you, well, the kids are still getting it,” he said. “They see the conflict between Hamlet and his mom and Hamlet and the king. They still understand the relationships and the through-line: one man’s path toward redemption.” Hernandez’s take on the madness of Hamlet is to play it broadly, emphasizing humor. He has never performed the title role in a traditional production, but said if he were to, he likely wouldn’t play it too differently. “I find the character of Hamlet to be very, very funny,” he said. “In doing my research, back to watching (Laurence) Olivier doing it, he has his quirks and idiosyncrasies, and (Derek) Jacobi and (Kenneth) Branagh all bring these little, funny quirks to it.” Children, especially, come alive and get involved in the production when Hamlet’s madness surfaces. “That’s something they can relate to,” he said. “There’s a clowning element to it.” vknopfler@hpe.com / 888-3601

IGH POINT – The Shakespeare Festival folks are anxious for people to sample what they’re about, so they’re offering something silly that also thumbs its nose at the poor economy. On Friday and Saturday nights, six actors will perform a wildly adapted, 60-minute version of “Hamlet” for pay-what-you-can admission. The show is part of the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival’s “Shakespeare To Go” program that goes on tour to school groups in North Carolina and adjoining states. The production can easily be enjoyed by adults, and it well could be subtitled “It’s OK to Laugh at ‘Hamlet.’ ” One actor opens the show by proclaiming, “Anybody who has a cell phone, turn it off. We’re far more entertaining. I promise.” Six actors – using little scenery and only minimal costume changes – play the major roles in Shakespeare’s story of power and madness. Gender doesn’t matter. Actor Shu-nan Chu, a tall male with a prominent Adam’s apple and hairy arms, dons a rather frumpy dress
What: Shakespeare To Go production of “Hamlet” When: 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday Where: NCSF’s Spirit Center, 807 W. Ward Ave. Admission: Pay-what-you-can Reservations: Required, call 8412273, Ext. 226 and Burger King crown to portray Hamlet’s mother. Sometimes he speaks in a high, squeaky Monty Python voice, and at other times he sports Groucho Marx glasses with furry eyebrows and moustache. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are played by women, one of whom also portrays Ophelia. Time and place don’t matter. J Hernandez, as Hamlet, is the only actor who sticks to one character. He sings a snippet of the “Batman” TV show theme song and throws out a couple of words with a Scot’s brogue. He
plunks down in spare seats among the audience to chat or clown. Horatio lapses into a redneck Southern accent; Ophelia sings a heart-break country song; a gravedigger unearths poor Yorick’s skull using kitchen utensils carried in a Walmart bag. The story, however, remains the same, and that’s what is important, according to Pedro Silva, managing director of the festival. “Even though the play is heavily edited, it still works. It’s still a legitimate entertainment event,” Silva said. “It’s a great entree into Shakespeare for young people. They’re getting to him in a slightly different way that’s more accessible and user-friendly as they begin to explore that world. It’s a valid visual aid that helps classes that come and see the work get a better sense of Shakespeare. “For the general public, it might be a good opportunity for somebody not familiar with a Shakespeare performance to come explore him in a shorter version. It might be a good initial step into making contact.”
The YWCA of High Point will host an open house for its Baby Basics Closet from 10 a.m. until noon Friday. YWCA staff will be on hand to explain the new voucher system for the Baby Basics Closet, which allows social workers, nurses and other caseworkers to give families in need vouchers enabling them to purchase muchneeded items from the Baby Basics Closet. The closet will be open to families with vouchers from 9 a.m. to noon on Mondays and Wednesdays, and from 3 to 6 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. For more information, contact Dana Hester, director of women’s services, at 882-4126.

Team works to reduce child fatalities F
or the last two years, Guilford County has held steady at 82 deaths per year involving children under 17, accounting for approximately 19 child deaths in North Carolina. While this number has not increased, more needs to be done to reduce it. That is why Guilford County’s Child Fatality Prevention Team, along with other agencies, is working hard. The causes of child death are recorded in 14 categories: birth defects, perinatal conditions (conditions surrounding the birth of a baby), Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), illnesses, motor vehicle accidents, bicycle accidents, fires, drownings, falls, poisonings, other injuries, homicide, suicide and all others. There were 31 deaths in Guilford County due to perinatal conditions. This reflects Guilford County’s largest category. Seventeen deaths were related to acute and
chronic illnesses. Seventy-seven percent of deaths involved infants less than 1 year of age, with adolescents (15-17 years of age) accounting FOR THE for 11 percent. In 1991, the HEALTH state created the OF IT N.C. Child Fatality Task Force to Lisa review the data on Alexander child deaths and ■■■ to take action to change or implement laws to reduce the number of child fatalities. In 1993, the state established Child Fatality Prevention Teams (CFPT) in every county. Each team’s primary goal is to ensure the safety of its county’s children. Teams are responsible for reviewing child deaths in their county and making recommendations to prevent future fatalities. The team in Guilford County
is comprised of members from the community, including the Department of Public Health, Department of Social Services, law enforcement, school system, guardian ad litem, medical examiner, medical provider, firefighter/EMS and other groups who serve children. The team meets bimonthly to review deaths, identify system problems and gaps in services and make recommendations to local and state government. Recommendations such as tightening driver’s license requirements for teens, making bicycle helmets mandatory for children under 16, and the development and implementation of the Safe Surrender Law to discourage infant homicide have helped to save lives. Guilford’s primary focus areas for this year are to increase public awareness of the Child Fatality Prevention Team, increase public knowledge of the Safe Surrender Law, ensure that agencies display the
YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.
Safe Surrender logo to identify themselves as a site, promote gun safety, and increase community knowledge of new risk behaviors which can result in serious injury or death. Each year the Guilford team recognizes a group or agency for its efforts toward promoting injury prevention. The Safety Makes Cents Award, which is a gift of $1,000, is presented every April. For additional information about the Guilford team or data related to injury deaths in this county, contact Lisa Alexander at (336) 641-6130 or Terri Whitt at (336) 641-6696.

“Did you hear about the self-help group for compulsive talkers?” a club player asked me. “It’s called ‘On-and-On Anon.’ My partner needs to go.” My friend’s partner, who never shuts up, was declarer at six spades. She took the ace of hearts, pondered and led a LOW club from dummy. East won and shifted to a trump, and declarer won in dummy and ruffed a club. When both defenders followed, South took the ace of trumps. If the trumps had split, South would have drawn trumps and led a diamond to dummy to run the clubs, but the 5-1 break was fatal.
BAD LUCK “My partner insisted that she found an inspired play,” North said. “She’s still talking about her bad luck.” Some people go through life with their horn stuck, but talk is cheap. South’s play was imaginative but questionable. After South wins Trick One, she can take the top clubs and diamonds. She can then crossruff for seven more tricks, succeeding despite the bad trump break. Yes, West should have led a trump.
HOROSCOPE
CROSSWORD
Monday, April 26, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Channing Tatum, 30; Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, 40; Michael Damian, 48; Carol Burnett, 77 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Opportunities are open to you but you must get the ball rolling. Don’t let your own uncertainty hold you back. There is plenty to gain if you stay mellow, do your own thing and refuse to get involved in other people’s petty problems. Keeping a level head and staying focused on your own endeavors will lead to your success. Your numbers are 6, 9, 14, 22, 28, 31, 44 ARIES (March 21-April 19): The easier you are to get along with, the more you will accomplish. Put your efforts into doing a good job and being a team player and you will make gains far beyond your expectations. Listen and you will learn something valuable. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You don’t have to make a fast decision or follow what someone else is doing if you feel uneasy. Minor mishaps can be prevented if you are careful. Being self-sufficient is a must. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Look at the bright side of any situation you face and you will sway others to think the same as you. Laziness or trying to get others to do things for you will be your only mistake. Do your best and you’ll attract contributors and assistance. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t get worked up with the excitement going on around you. Watch, listen and base your moves on what you want to see happen. An emotional issue can cloud your vision, causing you to miss out on a great opportunity. ★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your communication skills will not be stellar so, before you confront a situation that is bothering you, think matters through thoroughly. Once you disclose your ideas and thoughts, you will be open to criticism. Networking will be worthwhile. ★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t shy away from a responsibility that has the potential to bring you more clout and control. An opportunity to make a financial gain looks promising. Make a couple of changes to your portfolio and a partnership. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Be careful not to reveal too much information. Emotional matters will escalate if you discuss your plans with someone who doesn’t agree with you. Concentrate on a creative project that will take your mind off your worries. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t waffle when you should be moving full steam ahead. Your fear is holding you back and, until you are ready to put that aside, you can’t move forward. Sitting idle will be your downfall. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may have to take care of responsibilities that don’t belong to you or make changes that will limit your time. Look at the bright side and realize the positive side of your situation. You are likely to meet or start collaborating with someone who complements your plans. ★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Now is not the time to push or pick fights. Efforts put in at home or to improve your surroundings or your financial situation should be at the top of your to-do list. Talk with a trusted friend. ★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Good fortune and a favorable connection with someone you find interesting can change your life positively. It may be time to change your lifestyle or at least to look into ways that you can improve your current situation. Love is in the stars. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Uncertainty will prevail but that shouldn’t stop you from checking out alternatives and potential opportunities. A close relationship you have may be in jeopardy if either one of you is not being completely honest. ★★★

Harvick’s plan pays off BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
TALLADEGA, Ala. – At a place where unpredictability is the norm and in a race in which the lead changed at an average of every 2.2 laps, everything went just as Kevin Harvick planned. Harvick raced conservatively for most of the day, moved into the top 10 by not stopping for fuel during a caution that set the stage for 12 laps of overtime, then edged ahead of Jamie McMurray coming to the finish Harvick line to post a threefoot victory that was the Kernersville resident’s first in 115 starts since the 2007 Daytona 500 and the first for Richard Childress Racing since Jeff Burton prevailed in the fall race at Charlotte in 2008. “I don’t think it could have happened more perfect than how we planned it out,” Harvick’s crew chief Gil Martin said. Harvick lined up behind leader McMurray for the restart with two laps to go with McMurray’s teammate at the head of the outside line, followed by Denny Hamlin. The pairs ran side-by-side for about a lap until McMurray and Harvick broke clear. As they headed to the finish line, McMurray’s car moved a little to the right, giving Harvick an opening to the inside. The change of air against McMurray’s car enabled Harvick to edge ahead by about three feet at the finish – a margin timed at 0.011 seconds – as the last of a Cup-record 88 lead changes that smashed the old mark of 75 set in May of 1984. Of the 43 starters, 29 managed to lead, breaking the old series record of 28. The victory comes at the end

Harvick, who led just two laps and lost this year’s Daytona 500 in the last lap of overtime, said he tried the winning move in practice on Friday. “You basically had one move,” Harvick said. “As you shot past someone, it slowed them down and you could stay ahead for several hundred feet. It worked out absolutely perfectly.” McMurray and Montoya laid back until the last 50 laps. McMurray, who took the lead for the first
time on lap 156, held his ground after he, Harvick and Montoya were among those who didn’t pit for fuel on lap on 177. McMurray led from that point until the finish. Montoya finished third with Denny Hamlin fourth and Mark Martin fifth. Bobby Labonte survived two wrecks and finished 23rd. Brian Vickers was sidelined by the last crash and got 29th. “I was guarding against him going to the outside, and when he went left, it really made my car loose,” McMurray said. “When there’s someone directly behind

HIGH POINT – Bryan Colquitt remembers watching the winner’s ceremony for the Bud Kivett Memorial City Golf Championship just about every spring since he was 6 years old. Sunday, the 21-year-old was participating instead of watching. “It’s a lot different. It’s definitely a good feeling,” Colquitt said. “Growing up around here, watching everybody play it – you look at the list of all the players that have won this tournament, it feels really good to be on that list.” Colquitt finished with a three-shot margin of victory following Sunday’s final round. He opened the day leading by a pair of shots after firing a 6-under-par 66 at Blair Park, but scoring conditions proved difficult at blustery Oak Hollow. Michael Cross enjoyed the low round of the day with a 3-under 69, which gave him a total of 142 good for a second-place tie with Jim Carmichael, Nick Goins and former High Point Central and HPU standout Chase Wilson. Cross won a scorecard playoff for second overall. The only other sub-par round Sunday came from Carmichael (70), while Preston Lilly had an even-par 72. Colquitt found himself cruising after birdies on the first, fifth and eighth holes, but disaster struck on the back nine. He carded bogeys at Nos. 11, 12, 13 and 14, but answered the
you and they pull out of line rally fast, it’s like you pull a parachute bin in your car. It feels like you lose three to five miles an hour immediately, and when that happens, the car doing the passing has the momentum.” Harvick, McMurray and Montoya went 130 miles without stopping at the end. Crew chief Martin said a combination of caution laps hogging 13 of the last 18 laps and conservation by Harvick made him confident there was enough fuel in the tank to make it at least to lap 200. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Colquitt won by three strokes. pressure with a tap-in birdie on the par-5 15th. Pars coming in proved good enough as the former T. Wingate Andrews star became one of the youngest players ever to win the 34th annual event.
“I thought it would be a little closer than it was,” Colquitt said of attempting to pick up another birdie down the stretch. “Even-par, I thought that was the number. But 73 was all right.” The top-four finishers in the championship flight each carded 73s Sunday, with Goins and Wilson landing at 142 and Dylan Swaim a shot behind after rounds of 70 and 73. Chase R. Wilson – the HPU freshman – carded a 77 Sunday and tied with Jason Morton and Brad Helms at 145 in the championship flight. Brad Raczenski and Lilly landed at 145 in first flight as some golfers managed to make moves from the opening day. “I just tried to come out and play my game and hope for the best,” said Goins, the former Ledford star and current HPU junior. “I threeputted three of the par-5s. That kind of slowed me down.” Slow rounds were the norm Sunday – most golfers took more than five hours to finish – but the finish proved rewarding for more than just Colquitt and those receiving trophies. High Point Regional Health System’s Heart Strides Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehab Program was presented with a check for $31,605 from the event’s proceeds. Smart Choice was a presenting sponsor of this year’s Bud Kivett, named in memory of a well-known local golfer who died in the mid-1970s from heart failure. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

ive NASCAR credit for either getting incredibly lucky switching from the rear wing to spoiler on the new generation Cup car or actually figuring out what it needed to do with aerodynamics and the restrictor-plate size to produce good racing again at Talladega Superpeedway. With the wing, drivers became so dissatisfied with the difficulty to pass they started running single file to avoid getting caught in a big wreck. Sunday, they put on one of the best shows ever at the 2.66-mile track. With the ability
of two cars to hook up and shoot to the front, the car shuffling resulted in a Cup-record 88 lead changes among a record 29 drivers. Over the first 160 laps, the longest anyone led was nine laps by Kyle Busch. Then drivers started setting up for the finish and didn’t want to lead as much. Jeff Burton led for a 17-lap stretch until he and others pitted on lap 177. Then, Jamie McMurray led 23 laps (17 of them under the yellow) before he was unable to prevent Kevin Harvick’s slingshot pass for the win at the finish. “I applaud the whole deal because the cars
were able to slingshot and pass,” Harvick’s crew chief Gil Martin said. “When someone pulled out of line to pass with the wing, he kind of stalled out. But with the spoiler, the cars can get a side draft and go right by the next car. It wouldn’t last but about a half lap, maybe a half of a straightaway, but at least it worked.” Whatever it was, it worked well enough to entice fans in the future to help fill up the seats that were empty on Sunday.

Dwight Howard was the last player off the practice court Sunday, then went straight to the locker room for a personalized film session. The featured attraction for the Orlando center: A collage of his elbows and shoves that have put him in permanent foul trouble in the Magic’s firstround playoff series against Charlotte. “Everybody’s trying to tell me what I need to do, what I should do,” Howard said. “I think I just can’t allow myself to get frustrated.” The good news for the four-time All-Star is the Magic have been able to overcome his long stretches strapped to the bench, and Vince Carter’s shooting slump, to be on the verge of a sweep of the Bobcats ahead of Game 4 tonight. No NBA team has blown a 3-0 series lead. Howard has played just 82 of 144 minutes.

Bohn captures Zurich Classic THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AVONDALE, La. – Jason Bohn won the Zurich Classic for his second PGA Tour title, birdieing three of the final four holes Sunday at TPC Louisiana for a 5-under 67 and a two-stroke victory over Jeff Overton. Bohn, who completed a thirdround 71 in the morning in the weather-plagued tournament, finished at 18-under 270. The 37-yearold Bohn also won the 2005 B.C. Open. Overton mounted a persistent challenge, twice tying Bohn on his way to a 66. Overton birdied the 18th, but Bohn, who made birdie putts of 5 1/2 feet on No. 15 and 22 feet on No. 16, had to only tap in on 18 for his fifth birdie of the round.

Champions Tour start since having his lower right leg amputated after an auto accident in June that killed his brother and girlfriend, teamed with Mike Reid tied for 26th at 12 under. They had a 71 on Sunday.
FRASER GOES WIRE-TO-WIRE JEJU, South Korea – Australia’s Marcus Fraser broke a seven-year title drought, shooting a 3-under 69 to complete a wire-to-wire victory in the weather-shortened Ballantine’s Championship. Fraser had just one bogey going into final round and added only one more, on the 18th hole. He finished at 12-under 204 at Pinx Golf Club, where the tournament was shortened to 54-holes after fog delayed the first day of play for nearly seven hours. The 31-year-old Fraser won for the first time since the 2003 Russian Open. Australia’s Brett Rumford (71) and Northern Ireland’s Gareth Maybin (72) tied for second, four strokes back.

Keselowski posts wild victory BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
TALLAGEDA, Ala. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Brad Keselowski, with a push from Joey Logano, got to the lead in the nick of time on Sunday. Trying to make a move in the outside lane going through turn three on the final lap, Keselowski got the nose of his Dodge just ahead of Kevin Harvick, who had been leading in the lower lane, just before a massive wreck broke out behind them and brought out the caution. The field was frozen at the time of the yellow, making Keselowski the winner of a 312-mile Nationwide race, preventing Harvick from becoming the first driver to sweep a doubleheader for two of NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national series on the same day. Earlier, Harvick got his first Cup victory since the 2007 Daytona 500. Logano also edged ahead of Harvick to finish second. Harvick was third, Jason Keller fourth and John Borneman III fifth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did the same thing I did in the Cup race when I went to the outside pushing Ryan Newman (which resulted in a big wreck),â&#x20AC;? Logano said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;oh.boy, here we go
again.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; But, Brad held on to it.â&#x20AC;? Keselowski said Logano probably would have won if the green had stayed out until the end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He made the move he needed to win if it had gone the full race,â&#x20AC;? Keselowski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we would have cleared Harvick, but I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to block Joey.â&#x20AC;? Keselowski almost didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t race. His carbon monoxide level was too high when measured after the Cup race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a pretty place in the care center when they told me I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t race,â&#x20AC;? Keselowski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I took oxygen for about 45 minutes. They werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to let me in the car until the level went down to the right point. If the race would have started five minutes earlier, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been in there.â&#x20AC;? Because of the higher than normal possibility of getting involved in a big wreck, Harvick wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overly disappointed he failed to pull off the sweep, even though he dominated the late stages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This place is playing Russian Roulette,â&#x20AC;? Harvick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complain coming out of here with two cars rolling.â&#x20AC;? The big crash started when Jamie McMurray couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cleanly squeeze
in line between Harvick and Clint Bowyer. Harvick had blocked McMurrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move to the outside on the previous lap. A dozen cars were caught in the carnage, which included Dennis Setzer getting into the catch fence. Among those involved was High Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Scott Wimmer, who got up to third at one point by following Harvick and Bowyer. Wimmer was the first to hit McMurray when McMurray started spinning. Wimmer, in his third start of the season and first for Baker-Curb Racing, kept his car going and finished 12th. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what McMurray was thinking,â&#x20AC;? Wimmer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had gotten good on the bottom and I was going to follow Kevin and Clint as far as I could, then make a move in the tri-oval. But, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get that far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, it was the first time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked with group and we had a great day. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d led laps and finished in the top 10 in the other two races. I led laps again but we came up short of a top 10.â&#x20AC;?
Gordon-Johnson feud boils over BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER
TALLADEGA, Ala. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The relationship between Jeff Gordon and his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as peaches and cream after Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cup race as they said it was earlier in the week. Gordon, in no uncertain terms, expressed that his frustration level with Johnson is about to reach the boiling point after Johnson blocked and forced Gordon to go down on the apron at the end of the backstretch on lap 182 of what became a 200-lap race. The incident helped cut Gordonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s momentum and put him in position to get slammed by Jeff Burtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spinning car after Burton was tapped by Mike Bliss later in that lap. Gordon kept going and finished 22nd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somebody gave me a big shove and I was running 10 miles an hour faster than anybody,â&#x20AC;? Gordon said of the head of steam he had when Johnson blocked him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jimmie is testing my patience. It takes a lot to get me mad and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ticked right now. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what it is with him and me right now. But, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tested my patience down to the last nerve.â&#x20AC;? The incident comes just days after
Gordon and Johnson banged together as Gordon was trying to complete a pass at Texas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You turn left like that when a car is coming and somebody is going to have a problem,â&#x20AC;? Gordon said of Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did everything I could to keep from wrecking him.â&#x20AC;? The wreck helped force overtime that went the maximum three attempts to run the final two laps under the green flag. Johnson pitted for repair of slight damage when he was nudged by Gordon. He was eventually eliminated when he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear Greg Biffle and wound up hitting the inside wall on lap 195, causing a caution that led to the third and final restart of the overtime. Johnson was in the inside lane when he tried to cut between Clint Bowyer and Biffle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was trying to fish my way around those cars and (Biffle) and I touched,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. The first wreck of the overtime was the biggest. It came on lap 189 when Ryan Newman got a push from Joey Logano and spun into Bobby Labonte as 10 cars piled together. Earlier, Labonte spun as a result of a push from David Reutimann.

EARNINGS BONANZA: See how Wall Street responds as companies continue quarterly reports. TOMORROW
Business: Pam Haynes PHaynes@hpe.com (336) 888-3617
5D
Partisan showdown looms over financial reform WASHINGTON (AP) – Democrats are showing little willingness to alter financial overhaul legislation any further and are ready for a showdown vote today, hoping to splinter solid Republican opposition or to cast the minority party as an ally of Wall Street. Republican leaders seem prepared to take that risk – for now – if they can force Democratic concessions. The top negotiators on the sweeping bill – Democratic Sen. Christopher Dodd and Republican Sen. Richard Shelby – professed
to be close to a deal Sunday during a joint appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” But, as Shelby said, “inches sometimes are miles.” The two lawmakers did not hold a negotiating session Sunday. The legislation, the most sweeping effort to rein in financial institutions since the Great Depression, is approaching its end game, and Republicans and Democrats alike predict it can ultimately pass with bipartisan support. But for now, Republicans are using what leverage they have in hopes of putting a bigger GOP
imprint on the bill or removing Democratic provisions they perceive as government overreach. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell on Friday blocked Democrats’ efforts to bring the bill up for debate, setting up a vote Monday that will require 60 votes to move ahead. McConnell and Shelby said Sunday that without a deal with Dodd, all 41 Republican senators would vote to stall the start of debate. Shelby said a deal in time for the vote was unlikely. Democrats said they were out of patience.
“Are we going to start the debate or are we going to shut it down and continue negotiating, negotiating, negotiating?” Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, said on ABC’s “This Week.” The impasse reflected differences over how to contain large, interconnected financial firms and how to liquidate them when they fail. But Democrats and Republicans also differed on how to protect consumers and how to set limits on previously unregulated exotic instruments such as derivatives. After health care, the
financial regulation legislation has emerged as a top priority for President Barack Obama. The House has already passed its version of the legislation. Both bills would create a mechanism for liquidating large firms, set up a council to detect systemwide financial threats, and establish a consumer protection agency to police lending. The legislation also would require derivatives, blamed for helping precipitate the meltdown, to be traded in open exchanges. Polls show a public desire to regulate financial
institutions, and a recent fraud lawsuit against Goldman Sachs has created a desire by several Republicans not to be seen as obstructing Wall Street legislation. “If you listen carefully to the tone in Washington, just sort of the last couple of days, I think there has been a substantial shift,” Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS” program Sunday. “And I think really on balance there are a very substantial number of Republicans who want to be for a strong set of reforms.”
Greece confident of landing new loans
AP
The Development Committee meets on the final day of the G-20 summit of finance ministers and central bank governors at World Bank headquarters in Washington Sunday.
China gains influence at World Bank WASHINGTON (AP) – The World Bank recognized China’s growing economic influence and agreed Sunday to elevate Beijing’s voting power to behind only the U.S. and Japan in the 186-nation lending organization. Lifting China above a number of Western powers, including Germany, France and Britain, also gives other nations with emerging economies more voice and say in how the bank operates and lends money. Bank members also decided to increase the institution’s capital
by $3.5 billion; it was the first increase in more than 20 years. China’s stake at the bank, in terms of voting power, climbs from 2.78 percent to 4.42 percent. The U.S., the world’s largest economy, remains No. 1 spot at 15.85 percent, effectively giving it veto power, followed by Japan at 6.84 percent. Countries such as China, Brazil, India and Russia long have complained about the dominance of the United States and European nations in the bank’s decisions. Under an informal agreement dating to the end of World
War II, an American is president of the bank and a European leads its sister institution, the International Monetary Fund. Robert Zoellick, the bank’s president, said at a news conference that the shift in voting power “recognizes that we need to consign outdated concepts like ‘Third World’ to history. Today the world is moving toward a new, fast evolving multipolar economy.” Speaking after a meeting of the bank’s policy-setting Development Committee, Zoellick said countries with emerging
economies are critical sources of demand in the global economic recovery under way and over time “can become multiple poles of growth.” But Oxfam, a development advocacy group, said the World Bank broke a promise made at its meeting last year in Turkey to protect the voice of the poorest countries. “Of 47 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, more than a third have lost share, stayed the same and one (Sudan) has gained,” said Caroline HooperBox, an Oxfam spokeswoman.
WASHINGTON (AP) – A key Greek economic official expressed confidence Sunday that his country will be able to secure billions of dollars in emergency loans from European countries and the International Monetary Fund to avoid a crippling debt default. Greek Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou also had a blunt message for market speculators betting against Greece: “They will lose their shirts.” Papaconstantinou called a “red herring” market speculation that Greece may still have to default on some of its debt, forcing investors to accept less than full repayment on the Greek bonds they are holding. He said any such restructuring of Greek debt was “off the table.” In a nationally televised address announcing the decision to request aid, Greek Prime Minister George Papandreo described his country’s economy as a “sinking ship” with soaring government budget deficits that Greece could no longer finance without outside help. To tide it over, Greece is hoping to obtain emergency loans of about $40 billion from the group of 16 European countries which, like Greece, use the euro as a common currency, and an additional $13.4 billion from the IMF.
Strong earnings don’t buy jobs just yet NEW YORK (AP) – Companies are pulling in big profits but that doesn’t mean they’ll be quick to hire. Investors have been buying stocks for nearly 14 months on the assumption that a rebounding economy will bring higher earnings and lower unemployment. Companies’ first-quarter profit reports have been upbeat, and the government released promising numbers showing employers added 162,000 jobs in March. So, many investors may now be looking for stronger job growth. Not so fast. The hiring will come, but only gradually, analysts say.
DILBERT
The concern in the market is that investors may be so impressed by earnings they’ll get overconfident about employment, and that could mean disappointment if the Labor Department’s April jobs report two weeks from now falls short of expectations. Unemployment sits at 9.7 percent, compared with 10.1 percent in October. Investors believe a sustained increase in job growth will be the ultimate proof that the economy is healing. Steven Goldman, chief market strategist at Weeden & Co. in Greenwich, Conn., said better earnings will indeed help nudge companies
toward adding workers. He’s predicting unemployment will fall, but by the end of the year. “They’re going to be a bit more relaxed going forward and I think they will loosen up their budgets to do that hiring,” Goldman said. “It’s following the normal stages of an economic rebound.” The earnings reports for the January-March quarter that are now arriving are giving investors some hope. Of the more than 100 Standard & Poor’s 500 companies to report earnings so far, more than 80 percent have posted profits that beat analysts’ estimates by at least 2 percent.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters now forecast that the companies that make up the S&P 500 will earn about $83 per share in 2010. At the start of the year, analysts were calling for earnings to rise to about $77.50 in 2010 from about $62 in 2009. But Anthony Chan, chief economist at J.P. Morgan Private Wealth Management, said some employers don’t want to add to their expenses by hiring. “Firms have now sort of gotten used to a greater level of efficiency that they essentially generated during the recession,” Chan said. “I think they’ll still show some caution.”
Gas prices virtually unchanged in 2 weeks CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) – The average price of regular gasoline in the United States was virtually unchanged over a two-week period, dipping only 42 cents to $2.85. That’s according to the national Lundberg Sur-
vey of fuel prices released Sunday. Analyst Trilby Lundberg says the average price for a gallon of midgrade was $2.97. Premium was at $3.09. Tulsa, Okla., had the lowest average price among
cities surveyed at $2.60 a gallon for regular. Honolulu was highest at $3.47. Diesel was at $3.08, up 2.59 cents from two weeks ago. In California, the average price for a gallon of regular down 1.14 cents to $3.05.

Al-Qaida in Iraq confirms deaths of top 2 figures BAGHDAD – An al-Qaida front group in Iraq on Sunday confirmed the killing of its two top leaders but vowed to keep up the fight despite claims by U.S. and Iraqi officials that the deaths could be a devastating blow to the terror network. The defiance came in a statement released a week after the leaders – Abu Omar al-Baghdadi and Abu Ayyub al-Masri – were killed in a raid by Iraqi and U.S. security forces on their safe house near Tikrit.
Austrian president bests rightist to win election VIENNA – Austria’s president easily secured a second term Sunday, deflecting a challenge by a far-right politician who had criticized the country’s anti-Nazi law. Incumbent Heinz Fischer, a Social Democrat, won 78.9 percent of the vote, trouncing his main rival, Barbara Rosenkranz of the anti-foreigner and anti-European Union Freedom Party, who netted 15.6 percent. Rudolf Gehring of the tiny Austrian Christian Party – the only other candidate in the running for the largely ceremonial post – trailed with 5.4 percent.

Hilma Aparecida Caldeira, 38, a bronze medal winner at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta as part of Brazil’s national volleyball team, has not appeared in public since the case surfaced.
Ash-stranded Europeans to be home by today LONDON – Most tourists stranded by the volcanic ash crisis will be home by today although thousands could be stuck for nearly another week, European airlines and government officials said. A week of airspace closures caused by ash spewed by Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull (pronounced ay-yahFYAH-lah-yer-kuhl) volcano prompted the worst breakdown in civil aviation in Europe since World War II, with about 100,000 flights canceled.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Hamas released an animated film Sunday bearing a grisly message for Israel: If it doesn’t meet the Islamic militant group’s demands, an Israeli soldier it has held for nearly four years could return home in a coffin. The short but sophisticated cartoon – which depicts Sgt. Gilad Schalit’s aging father wandering empty streets with a picture of his son and ends with the words “There is still hope” – is the latest product of Hamas’ growing media machine.

Yazoo City, Miss., resident Sharron Moore can’t believe how close she came to living in what is left of her new house, destroyed by Saturday’s tornado, as she reviews the damage on Sunday. The three bedroom house was blown off its slab for several feet. Moore was to have moved into the new house within a week.
Saviors as tornado hit Mississippi: A table, a wall YAZOO CITY, Miss. (AP) – One prayed to God under a communion table as his church was blown to pieces around him. Another was on the phone with a meteorologist when the tornado threw him against a cinderblock wall that held just long enough to save his life. At least 10 people were killed when the tornado ripped through the rural Mississippi countryside, but the stories told by survivors on Sunday show how much higher the toll could have been. Dale Thrasher, 60, had been alone in Hillcrest Baptist Church when the tornado hit Saturday, ripping away wood and metal until all that was left was rubble, Thrasher and the table he had climbed under as he prayed for protection. “The whole building caved in,” he said. “But me and that table were still there.” Sunday was sunny and breezy as
Thrasher and other members of the Yazoo City church dug through the debris and pulled out a few chairs and other items. One found a hymnal opened to the song, “Till the Storm Passes By.” Hundreds of homes also were damaged in the storm, which carved a path of devastation from the Louisiana line to east-central Mississippi, and at least three dozen people were hurt. Rescuers spread out Sunday to find anyone who might be trapped, while survivors returned to demolished homes to salvage what they could and bulldoze the rubble. “This tornado was enormous,” said Gov. Haley Barbour, who grew up in Yazoo County, a county of about 28,000 people known for blues, catfish and cotton. The twister wreaked “utter obliteration” among the picturesque hills rising from the flat Mississippi Delta, the governor said.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) – It could take hours or it could take months to stop a 42,000-gallon-aday oil leak polluting the Gulf of Mexico at the site of a wrecked drilling platform. Whether the environmental threat grows many times bigger depends on whether the oil company can turn the well completely off. Crews are using robot submarines to activate valves at the well head in hopes of cutting off the leak, which threatens the Gulf Coast’s fragile ecosystem. The submarine work will take 24 to 36 hours, Doug Suttles, chief operating officer for BP Exploration and Production, said Sunday.
Activists call on Obama to fight immigrant law PHOENIX (AP) – Civil rights activists called on President Barack Obama to fight a tough new Arizona law targeting illegal immigrants Sunday, promising to march in the streets and invite arrest by refusing to comply if the measure goes into effect. U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva of Arizona told about 3,500 protesters gathered at the state Capitol that the Obama administration can help defeat the law by refusing to cooperate when illegal immigrants are picked up by local police and turned over to federal immigration officers.
