The May 4 primary will give Guilford County Republicans the victory in one Guilford County Board of Commissioners race because no Democrat filed for the District 2 seat. But Tuesday’s results will not settle a nonpartisan Board of Education race, where three High Pointers face off

for the District 2 seat. Meanwhile, Democrats and Republicans will vote for their candidates for sheriff in a race where a Democratic runoff primary is a possibility. This two-part series looks at the races in Guilford County as voters get set to head to the polls on Tuesday.

As many Tea Party supporters proclaim, Stanley said she likes the idea of local ROAD political conTO THE trol. “We are PRIMARIES supposed to take care of Spotlight ourselves on Guilford at the local County level,” she ■■■ said. “I just want to keep national politics out of our business.” The primary will decide who wins the vacant seat created when veteran Republican Commissioner Steve Arnold announced his retirement earlier this year. The two candidates agree the board of commissioners still needs a conservative voice and they

agree on several issues, including local zoning and development controls that could be lost to the Heart of the Triad project or to Guilford County through a consolidation. Winston-Salem, Greensboro, High Point, Kernersville and Forsyth and Guilford counties are working on plans to transform 6,300 acres along the border between Guilford and Forsyth counties for transportation logistics and high-tech centers. Residents opposed to the HOT development and road plans have lobbied

the board of commissioners for several years. “The people most affected were circumvented at first. I don’t see what the county brings to the table here, and I don’t see High Point doing any forced annexation,” Bencini said. Stanley said she favors allowing residents to vote on how the plan should proceed and any annexations. “I’m passionate about property rights,” Stanley said. “People who do not live in the city do not want to be taxed to death.” In a related area, Bencini wants growth-area zoning rights for High Point. Commissioners so far have declined to approve zoning control for High Point in a 1,400-acre area near Kernersville where High Point has extended a sewer line. “The county’s use there is not the best use of the land,”

Stanley, Bencini both say they are frugal spenders. 2A Bencini said. “The county should adopt High Point’s development rules there.” Greensboro and county officials have discussed consolidating a range of services from planning and inspections to human resources, purchasing and geographic information services. “The city and the county need to work together, but the city should be autonomous,” Stanley said. “There are just a few areas where this may work,” Bencini said. “ We should give it very careful consideration.”

HIGH POINT – The two High Point Republicans seeking the vacant District 2 seat on the Guilford County Board of Commissioners are a contrast in experience and service. Bill Bencini has the experience. On the High Point City Council, he has been chairman of the Planning and Development Committee and a member of the Finance Committee. Bencini wants to provide dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626 a strong voice for High Point by encouraging regular joint city-county meetings. “I want to work closely with the county and be cooperative to help the city. We need regular discussions,” Bencini said. Myrene Stanley, who has been chairwoman of the High Point Republican Women’s Club, says she has the passion for service. “I am not a politician and I have become frustrated with politicians,” said Stanley, who has followed the Tea Party movement. “I’m tired of politics as usual. I am one of the little people, and I feel I can represent them to their satisfaction. Passion can be more imporDON DAVIS JR. | HPE tant than experience.” The yard at the Roy B. Culler Jr. Senior Center, an early primary voting site, was nearly filled with campaign signs.

Joseph E. Ely of Winston-Salem recently was elected chairman of the Presbyterian Homes Inc. board of governors for the class of 2013. Ely is retired from Aon, where he served as executive vice president and regional manager for the Southeast.

Discipline in schools gets focus BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – School discipline is a shared concern among the three High Pointers in Tuesday’s nonpartisan primary for the District 2 seat on the Guilford County Board of Education. Incumbent Garth Hebert faces a challenge from two newcomers, businessman Ed Price and retiree and former teacher Richard Becker. “I think some of the violence is covered up,” said Hebert, who has two sons in the district schools. Becker said the district should work with parents to stress proper behavior at school. “I hear from teachers all the time about how much time it takes to handle these discipline issues,” Becker said. “We need something better. Not all students fall into the special schools category.” Price favors programs that improve self-esteem.

Price

“Students who participate in activities do better,” Price said. Hebert, an accountant and fiscal conservative, said he has more to do. “I am not finished,” Hebert said. “I have set new goals, and I’m still a long way off.” Hebert said he has been successful in achieving more data and financial transparency, but the district still has a way to go in closing the student achievement gap. “There has been no improvement in the scores for better and average students, while those below that level have improved,”

he said. “We have closed that gap at the price of mediocrity. I’d like to see more emphasis on academics, period. If we don’t have graduates coming back to High Point, we don’t have much of a future.” Hebert also wants to make the best advantage of technology. “We spend $2 million for textbooks,” he said. “Our best teachers could prepare virtual textbooks instead and modify them as needed. Students would not be as bored with that.” Working only for High Point issues is short-sighted, Hebert said. “High Point is not much different from the rest of the district. You have to look at it as a whole,” he said. Price said he would have more of a High Point focus. “I would like to see better cooperation between the city and the school board so that maybe we could share

some facilities,” he said. “We need to work better together to help the young people.” Price wants to see more teacher assistants assigned to the schools and more help for the low-performing schools. Becker said he would use his engineering background to help supervise the district’s school construction and maintenance programs. “I wonder about the variances in the costs of new Guilford County schools and those in other counties,” Becker said. “We need to track that.”

‘Local control’ is hot topic for District 2 commissioner candidates. 1A Discipline gets focus from District 2 school board candidates. 1A BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY — Two Republicans from High Point seeking the District 2 seat on the Guilford County Board of Commissioners say trimming county spending when possible is a priority. Even if it means giving up a degree of support for the arts and the High Point Market Authority. “You have to have priorities,” said Myrene Stanley, a self-acknowledged art lover. “If the sheriff can not buy gas with his budget, you have to think about the money that goes to the arts. But we should not cut back the libraries, and the market brings in

More than 1,000 youths from around the Triad, mostly 9 and 10-year-olds, participated in the 3.1 mile event. The students represented 25 schools from across Guilford and Forsyth counties.

how you get the two boards together.” With the partisan balance on the board favoring Democrats unlikely to shift in the 2010 elections, the District 2 winner will have to work from a minority position. “It’s easier when you have a nonpartisan board,” Bencini said. “You have to find out where you can work together. And I hope we can leave the disagreements on the field.” “You have to use common sense and not take it personally and not get combative,” Stanley said. “You have to remember the people who put you there.”

Waterhouse said he nearly rescued the boy and almost pulled him to the surface of the water by a fishing line, but the line snapped and the teen sunk into the water. “I had him almost five to 10 feet form the surface, the line broke so I dove in off my boat into the water and tried to rescue him but I couldn’t,” Waterhouse said. “He sunk faster than my dive was.

Groups accuse town’s police of racial profiling ZEBULON (AP) – Three civil rights groups say police in Zebulon are singling out members of a Latino church for repeated traffic checkpoints where drivers are stopped and asked to show their license and registration. The American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina, the North Carolina Justice Center and the Southern Coalition for Social Justice have asked Zebulon officials for records of traffic checkpoints dating to 2006. The groups believe that Lati-

nos at the Iglesia de Dios Catedral de Jesus are being targeted by racial profiling tactics, a charge town leaders dismiss. “We don’t believe that those allegations are founded, and we believe we’ll be able to show that,” Zebulon Mayor Robert Matheny said Friday. Matheny said the town is pleased to turn over the records sought by the groups. “We don’t have anything to hide,” he said. The groups also are

asking for similar documents from the Wake County Sheriff’s Office, because members of the church say they believe sheriff’s deputies were at some of the checkpoints. Calls to the Zebulon Police Department and the Wake County Sheriff’s Office were not immediately returned Friday. In a so-called license checkpoint, unlike a drunken driving checkpoint, drivers are asked by police to produce their license and registration.

Dell postpones plant closure to early 2011 WINSTON-SALEM (AP) – Computer maker Dell Inc. has postponed the closing date for a North Carolina manufacturing plant a fourth time, now pushing the target date into next year. Dell spokesman David Frink said Friday the Texas-based company has seen improved demand for personal computers and will keep production humming in Winston-Salem until early January. The plant has 400 employees and a number of contract workers Frink wouldn’t disclose. The company announced last October it would close the plant within three months, eliminating 900 workers. The massive computer assembly plant was offered more than $300 million in incentives to choose the North Carolina site in 2004. Most state incentives were never paid, and Dell repaid local governments $26 million in upfront incentives.

Arkansas tornadoes kill woman; drowning also reported SCOTLAND, Ark. (AP) – Leveled homes, overturned vehicles and uprooted trees were scattered across central Arkansas on Saturday after several tornadoes ripped through the state, killing a woman and injuring two dozen others, authorities said. At least one person drowned after heavy rain fell in western Arkansas, said Renee Preslar, spokeswoman for the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management. The woman killed by a tornado was among three people in one of many homes destroyed by the Friday night storms in the small community of Scotland, about 75 miles north of Little Rock, said Van Buren County Sheriff Scott Bradley. The two others were hurt, but Bradley did not believe their injuries were life-threatening.

BP subcontractor hires fishermen for cleanup SHELL BEACH, La. – A subcontractor for BP PLC is hiring unemployed fishermen for a boom deployment off the Louisiana coast. Oil Mop LLC, which specializes in oil cleanups, plans to have fishermen show up at Hopedale on Sunday, where they would be put into groups and sent out to place boom across wetlands that border upon Breton Sound.

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama has some advice for the class of 2010: Don’t get caught up in the partisan bickering that often consumes Washington and use your talents to help your country confront its greatest challenges. Obama’s homily on the imperatives of citizenship comes in a speech Saturday at the Univer-

sity of Michigan in Ann Arbor. At the same time, 45 miles away, Sarah Palin was set to denounce the president as a biggovernment Democrat whose free-spending ways will bankrupt the country. The former GOP vice presidential hopeful was the headliner at a Clarkston, Mich., forum hosted by the anti-tax Americans for Pros-

perity Foundation. Officials expected more than 1,000 to attend. Palin’s been on a nationwide speaking tour as she considers a 2012 White House bid and promotes her book. Obama’s road show was playing at a larger venue – Michigan Stadium, which can seat 106,201. People began poring into the stadium after a morning rain made

for a damp wait to go through security. In the speech, White House spokesman Bill Burton said, the president will urge graduates “to participate as citizens in shaping our nation’s destiny. He will offer reflections on the role of government, drawing on our founding fathers and based on his own experiences.”

Water main break affects Boston, suburbs BOSTON – Water to 2 million people in Boston and more than two dozen suburbs is temporarily unsuitable for drinking after a break in a pipe that connects a major suburban reservoir to the city.

Report to the Community

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

At High Point Regional Health System, success has always been defined by how well we take care of the people of our community. By that definition, 2009 was a success. Much was achieved last year, thanks to the commitment of the staff of this hospital, our doctors, our volunteers and our generous financial partners. We have remained focused on providing truly exceptional care to our patients, and we have extended those services to our community through outreach programs and support that serves the greater good. In short, we have been committed to Total Care. In this report to the community, we highlight some of the ways that High Point Regional Health System exemplifies Total Care. I invite you to read and see for yourself how we are transforming the healthcare experience, making High Point Regional a different kind of health system. High Point Regional Health System touched the lives of more than 130,000 patients in 2009. Employing almost 2,400 people, High Point Regional Health System is one of High Point’s largest employers. Our Charles E. and Pauline Lewis Hayworth Cancer Center is rated TOP Community Comprehensive Cancer Center in the Triad by U.S. News & World Report. Our Women’s Imaging Center was the first full-field digital mammography facility in High Point to offer both diagnostic and screening mammography services, and was fully funded through our own Endowment Fund. The 2009 acquisition of the newest da Vinci Si Surgical System offers patients the most sophisticated robotic platform for minimally invasive surgery. We are the first hospital in the Triad to provide 24-hour electronic monitoring in the Intensive Care Unit, which improves outcomes and safety among critically ill patients. High Point Regional was accredited by the Society of Chest Pain Centers for meeting and exceeding qualityof-care measures in acute cardiac medicine. Our Stroke Center was re-certified as a Primary Stroke Center by the Joint Commission, demonstrating that our program follows national standards and guidelines that can significantly improve outcomes for stroke patients. High Point Regional’s Emergency Department received Renewal of Level III Trauma Designation. Our Fitness Center is one of only seven medical fitness centers in the country to be certified by the Medical Fitness Association. In a joint venture with Cornerstone Health Care, Premier Medical Plaza was opened in 2009 in North High Point to bring an innovative and resourceful medical facility to the citizens of our greater community. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to serving the members of the greater High Point community as we strive to uphold our commitment to Total Care.

Swink says he has support to make ballot

WHO’S NEWS

----

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A Thomasville resident says he has enough signatures to get his name on the ballot in November for the Davidson County sheriff race. Don Swink, who ran unsuccessfully for sheriff in 2002, has been working on getting the signatures of 4 percent of the county’s 100,000 registered voters to be eligible to be placed on the ballot as an unaffiliated candidate. Swink said Friday he has reached the amount needed of 4,021 signatures, but he’s working on getting an additional 400 in case some are thrown out by the Davidson County Board of Elections for various reasons. “I’m going to be safe,” said Swink, who has until June 25 to submit the signatures to the Davidson County Board of Elections office. “I’m going to make sure I get enough.” Swink, who retired last year as an owner of a commercial and industrial painting business, has been spending time going door to door asking for signatures. He had a setback last weekend when his appendix burst. “I’ve been down all week,” he said. “I guess the Lord said it’s time for me to take a break. He’s my pilot. He’s leading me in this. I’m the co-pilot.” Changing his party affiliation from Democrat to unaffiliated in 2007, Swink said his unhappiness with the current sheriff’s office administration caused him to make the attempt to be on the ballot. “I just simply think I can do a better job than what we’ve got now,” he said. “I believe that we need somebody up there that is in touch with the people. I feel like I am and I can be out there with the people.” If the signatures are accepted by the Davidson County Board of Elections, Swink will be the first candidate in Davidson County’s history to be placed on the ballot in such a way. Three Republicans – Sheriff David Grice, former Davidson County Sheriff Gerald Hege and retired state trooper Terry Price – are in Tuesday’s primary. Tommy Evans is the lone Democrat to file for the sheriff race. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Housing authority seek Pillars of Fame nominees BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – High Point Housing Authority officials are seeking the public’s help in locating pillars of the community to honor. The agency is seeking nominees for its annual Pillars of Fame award that is bestowed on former public housing or Section 8 housing residents who have overcome obstacles in life to become successful. A committee of authority staff and local volunteers will select this year’s honorees, who will be recognized Sept. 22. The program, which began in 2006, also seeks to serve as an inspiration to local youth. “What we’re looking for are role models, and we want our youth to know just because they may live in public housing for awhile or just because they may live in Section 8 housing for awhile, that doesn’t limit them

as far as growing up and doing very well and achieving great things and making contributions to their neighborhood and their communities,” said Rachael Matthews, a housing authority spokeswoman. Past recipients of the honor include Albert A. Campbell, Pridell L. McCormick, Guilford County Sheriff BJ Barnes, Jerry Wayne Camp, Bruce E. Davis, Valda Boyd-Ford, Glenn Chavis and Bernita Sims. The recipients’ pictures are permanently encased in the pillars at the Astor Dowdy Towers community on E. Green Drive. The authority is focusing on getting the word out about the nomination process, which includes several criteria for eligibility, such as documentation about nominees’ work in the community. Officials said the program has been well-received by the community and has made strong impres-

Lots of times they don’t even know they’re being nominated, and then when they are notified, they’re so excited,” Matthews said. “All through the year they ask us, ‘What can we do? We don’t want to be here just once a year.

We want to do things throughout the year to help in public housing, to help get the positive word out instead of all the negative things you hear.’” Matthews added that for this year’s recognition ceremony, the authority is looking at the possibility of bringing some youths to the event from local schools. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Drive-in theater remains a family affair BELMONT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; As Melinda Pentecost popped corn and cooked chilli at the Belmont Drive-In Theater concession stand, memories flickered like images on the big screen. Summer nights when folks lie out under the stars slapping insects they called â&#x20AC;&#x153;gollywhoppersâ&#x20AC;?; kids tossing footballs and Frisbees; neighbors visiting before the show. Pentecost, 40, remembered it all while getting ready, in a few hours, to open the theater for a new season. A landmark since 1946, Belmont Drive-In would be ready at 7 p.m. when fans from around the region rolled in. But it was hard for Pentecost to stay focused; this was the first time sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d worked here without her mother. Pentecost had grown up in the business her parents, Bill and Peggy Lawing, had run for nearly 30 years. When her father died in 1997, her mother kept things going, even while taking cancer treatments. Peggy Lawing suffered a stroke, fell and died in January. Lawingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three children

had families and other jobs. But there was never any question the theater would come alive again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This drive-in was what Mom and Dad were all about,â&#x20AC;? said Pentecost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being here makes me feel closer to them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bittersweet, but I think my parents would love what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing and be proud.â&#x20AC;? A dozen or so family and friends showed up to help, including Pentecostâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband, Roger, their children Lane, 15, Casey, 10, and Pentecostâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brothers, Wayne and David. They cooked and cleaned, checked lights and equipment, feeling a return of that old magic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the promise of another showtime just ahead. Drive-ins are a dying breed, and Belmontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is one of about a half dozen that survive in North Carolina. For George Hall, 77, Belmontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theater evokes memories of â&#x20AC;&#x153;the good times we had as teenagers in junior high and high school.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We might see a car load of girls and holler at each other. None of us was overly polished in the social arena,â&#x20AC;? said Hall.

The theater is opening for another season after its owner Peggy Lawing died earlier this year. Her children have decided to try and keep the old theater going. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dying breed but they feel like they owe it to their mom.

Nearly 600 immigrants arrested in operation

Testimony ends in tax case against NC pastor

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A North Carolina pastor says mistakes made on his tax returns were not intended to wrongly bilk the government out of money. But federal prosecutors say Anthony Jinwright did not make honest mistakes. Both sides are expected to sum up their arguments Monday in the tax evasion case against Jinwright. He has denied tax evasion allegations but acknowledged taking â&#x20AC;&#x153;too muchâ&#x20AC;? compensation from his church.

HICKORY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Nearly 600 immigrants with criminal records were arrested in the Southeast in three days in an operation conducted by U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE), including 17 in Hickory and Durham. Operation Cross Check, as it was called, was carried out Wednesday through Friday and resulted in the largest number of arrests ever, said Barbara Gonzalez, the southern regional communications director for ICE. The operation was carried out in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Arkansas,

Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi and Puerto Rico, with help from area law enforcement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All had been convicted of felony crimes and served sentences and were eligible for removal,â&#x20AC;? Gonzalez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some were here lawfully, but because of their convictions, they were eligible for revocation.â&#x20AC;? She said many of the people arrested were here illegally. The people arrested are from 60 countries, representing Latin America, Asia, Europe, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Only 55 of the 596 people arrested were women. The area with the highest number of arrests was in Florida and Puerto

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;All had been convicted of felony crimes and served sentences and were eligible for removal.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Barbara Gonzalez ICE communications director Rico, where ICE arrested 258 people. Gonzalez said people were not arrested as soon as their prison sentences were completed because it

may not have been feasible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a world of limited resources, programs may not have been in place to do this where they lived,â&#x20AC;? she said. Three of the foreign nationals had criminal records for murder, Gonzalez said. More than 20 were sex offenders. Others convictions included drug trafficking, robbery and aggravated assault. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being in the country is a privilege and they violated that privilege,â&#x20AC;? Gonzalez said. Anyone arrested during the roundup who has an active warrant will be referred to local law enforcement, and ICE will

place a detainer on them, to ensure that person returns to ICE custody after their criminal case. For the people with outstanding deportation orders or who returned to the U.S. illegally after being deported, they could be removed from the U.S. immediately, according to a press release from ICE. Felony reentry carries a penalty of 20 years in prison. Those remaining people are in ICE custody, awaiting a hearing before an immigration judge. Hickory and Durham had the largest number of arrests in the state, at 17 apiece.

Aquila and Priscilla leave Rome T

wo of Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helpers were Aquila and Priscilla. They were originally Jews from Rome â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who became Christian either before or after meeting Paul (weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not sure) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and then traveled with Paul. But the story of their meeting Paul has its own history. To give some dates, Paul did most of his traveling in the late 40s to the mid 60s (AD); they probably met Paul in AD 49 or 50. But to tell the full story of how Aquila and Priscilla met Paul we have to go back 120 years before, to the year 63 BC. In that year, 63 BC, the Roman general Pompey â&#x20AC;&#x153;capturedâ&#x20AC;? Israel. A leadership disagreement had arisen in Israel between Hyrcanus and Aristobulus, who just happened to be brothers. Pompey was in the area, and the brothers sent representatives to him and asked him to decide. Pompey ultimately decided that Hyrcanus would become High Priest. Aristobulus and his followers did not like this, and refused to let the Romans into Jerusalem. Bad idea. The Romans took the city, and Pompey

sent Aristobulus and a number of Jews (either hundreds or thousands, depending on the source) back to Rome. Now, other Jews already lived in Rome, but this action resulted in a huge STUDYING influx of Jews to Rome. THE CHURCH Eventually the Jews melted into the population, buying homes, setting up businessMark es, and opening synagogues. Nickens So, by the year, oh say, 40 â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; BC, Rome had a thriving Jewish population. Fast forward to the year AD 41, 81 years later. In that year, Claudius became emperor. Jews in Rome could care less as long as he left them alone. And Claudius does just that for awhile. But eventually he started having problems with the Jews. Suetonius, who wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Life of Claudius,â&#x20AC;? describes the problem and solution: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since the Jews

constantly made disturbances at the instigation of Chrestus, he expelled them from Rome.â&#x20AC;? (25:4) This occurred around the year AD 49. Many Christian scholars believe this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chrestusâ&#x20AC;? refers to Jesus Christ. Apparently some Christians were talking about Jesus and causing arguments within the Jewish community. So the emperor expelled the Jews. Some scholars say this may have meant that he expelled them from the synagogues and not Rome itself, since the arguments probably occurred in the synagogues. But whatever the case, some Jews decided to leave Rome. And we know the names of two of those Jews, Aquila and Priscilla. We know this from Acts 18:2. Starting at the end of verse one, Paul was in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Corinth. There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome.â&#x20AC;? The couple may

The Constitution, Old and New Testament and prayer n recent days, I have been reading The Constitution of the United States, something I wish all members of the Congress, the Supreme Court, the vice president and the president would do. I would, of course, want them to read and study it in much greater depth than I have done. I am convinced, by some of their decisions, that most of these national leaders have read and studied it very little and lack a basic understanding of what it is about and the context in which it was written. The Preamble to the Constitution states: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution of the United States of America.â&#x20AC;? Every word of this document should be read and understood, protected vigorously, believed and practiced in all deliberations and kept secure. Of the 55 signers of the United States Constitution of 1787, most all were associated with a Christian denomination: â&#x20AC;&#x153;29 were Anglicans, 16-18 were Calvinists, 2 were Methodists, 2 were Lutherans, 2 were Roman Catholic, 1 lapsed Quaker and sometimes Anglican, and 1 open Deist â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dr. Franklin who attended every kind of Christian worship, called for public prayer, and contributed to all denominations.â&#x20AC;? Quotations from both the Old Testament and New Testament were often used in the speeches and conversations of our early leaders. This nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles. Laws for our civil behavior are based on the Ten Commandments that may be read in the book of Exodus 20:1-21 and reviewed in Deuteronomy 5:1-22, the book from which Jesus is quoted most often. The Sermon on the Mount, from Jesus Himself, is found in Matthew chapters 5-7 and in Luke 6:12-49. You may want to

have been Christians prior to meeting Paul, perhaps being convinced while in the synagogues in Rome. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. But we do know that, because of Pompeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions in 63 BC, a large number of Jews moved to Rome, and that in the year AD 49, Claudius decided to either expel the Jews from Rome or from their synagogues, and that two of those Jews were Aquila and Priscilla, who decided to move to Corinth where they met, ta-dah, Paul the missionary. Aquila and Priscilla are mentioned in six other places in the New Testament: Three more times in Acts 17, verses 18, 19, and 26; in Romans 16:3, when Paul and the couple were in Corinth; in I Corinthians 16:19, when Paul and the couple were in Ephesus; and in II Timothy 4:19, when Paul was in Rome and the couple were probably in Ephesus.

Halted construction filling US waterways with silt INDIAN LAND, S.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Residents in a subdivision of two-story brick homes near the North Carolina state line say they were promised roads and ball fields and tennis courts. But the developer has vanished and the neighbors never came so, when the rains do, the ground crumbles. The potholes at Edenmoor are big enough to swallow car tires these days. With every deluge, miniature Grand Canyons carve through the red clay of the abandoned home sites, clogging a nearby stream with dirt and adding to a growing environmental problem. The housing bust that has pockmarked the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landscape with half-built construction projects has done more than crash home values. Federal officials and environmentalists says abandoned developments are polluting nearby waterways with sediment, endangering fish and plant life and flooding areas where the silt has built up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some that are still not being taken over by anybody or theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in limbo or theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in litiga-

tion and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just sitting there, bleeding sediment into the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waters,â&#x20AC;? said Mell Nevils, director of the Division of Land Resources in North Carolina. He estimates that 40 halted and abandoned projects are polluting waterways in the state. In April, the Environmental Protection Agency settled with one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest homebuilders for sediment runoff at almost 600 sites in 18 states and the District of Columbia. Hovnanian Enterprises agreed to pay $1 million and take steps to prevent runoff. The EPA, which monitors runoff as part of its enforcement of the Clean Water Act, said the agreement is expected to prevent the run off of 366 million pounds of sediment nationwide. Erosion experts say a construction site will lose about 200 tons of sediment per acre per year compared with just five to seven tons per acre per year for a farm. The EPA considers sediment the leading â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and most costly to fix â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cause of water pollution. Projects abandoned by their owners, also known

Environmentalists say the housing and construction bust that has pockmarked the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landscape with half-built projects is filling rivers and streams with one of the most expensive forms of water pollution â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sediment. as orphan sites, are tougher to penalize because nobody takes responsibility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Storm water is one of those chronic, almost invisible problems throughout the nation, throughout the developed world in general, because no one really thinks about rain as being a source of pollution,â&#x20AC;? said Janelle Robbins, staff scientist with the Waterkeeper Alliance, an international coalition of waterway advocates.

Officials probe discovery of crude explosives MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WILSON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Residents in the Longleaf Drive area of Elm City contacted authorities on two separate dates after finding crude, homemade explosive devices that had been exploded in the roadway. According to the investigation report taken by Deputy M. L. Wingo, residents reported finding plastic bottles lying in the street with aluminium foil scattered around them on April 19 and 29. Wingo reported it â&#x20AC;&#x153;...appeared that these bottles were filled with a combustible material which caused them to explode.â&#x20AC;? On one occasion, a resident said they heard a loud noise â&#x20AC;&#x153;...like a shotgun being shotâ&#x20AC;? but did not call authorities at that time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bottles were apparently filled with a combustible material before exploding on the roadway,â&#x20AC;? Wingo indicated in his report. So far, there havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been any reports of damage or injuries. Sheriff Wayne Gay is concerned about the safety of residents in the area if they decided to handle any of these explosives, he said.

Marchers protest Durham school budget MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

DURHAM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Alex Christman was doing it for the young teachers. Beth Bruch did it because she cares. Tevin Armstrong marched for those like him. Those three, and at least 200 others, marched from Hillside High School to the county administration building Friday to protest the proposed 2010-11 Durham Public Schools budget. Organized by the Durham Umbrella Coalition, the march is part of a continuing effort by the group â&#x20AC;&#x201C; students, teachers and community members â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to get more dollars into the schools budget. The $383.4 million budget reflects $20 million of reductions in county and state support, which means that 323 employees, including 263 teachers, are slated to

lose their jobs. Those layoffs will mean that class sizes at every grade level will increase by almost four students and that resources will be cut across the district. Young teachers are concerned that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the first to go, said Alex Christman, a social studies teacher at Hillside. Bigger classes, along with limited supplies, will only make things worse for the teachers who are left. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem like much to raise class sizes to 30, 35,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to sit in these classes. On a fourth period in the spring, when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to keep 35 minds on what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing and have them understand what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing, that can be difficult.â&#x20AC;? Protesters, mostly Hillside students, initially gathered in the school parking lot to hear music, watch performances by various student groups and listen to

comments from organizers and supporters. The marchers kept to the sidewalk but drew plenty of attention as they made their way up Fayetteville Street. Drivers blew their horns in support as the group chanted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey, hey, ho, ho, budget cuts have got to go,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;They say cut back, we say fight back.â&#x20AC;? Beth Bruch, 37, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work for a school or have any children but wanted to support those directly affected by the budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a homeowner; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a taxpayer. Education is what I want to fund,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something everyone in Durham cares about. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here.â&#x20AC;? Tevin Armstrong, a junior at Hillside, was there because of the broken desks, outdated textbooks and slow computers at his school.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the kids canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get their work done in the class period because the computers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t act right and there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough for students,â&#x20AC;? said Armstrong, 18. Armstrong and others who spoke to the crowd called for more financial support from the county and the state. Some urged the county to dip into its â&#x20AC;&#x153;rainy day fund,â&#x20AC;? which is used to maintain the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credit rating and help pay for large projects. Some marchers carried umbrellas to signal support for tapping the fund. County Commissioners Brenda Howerton and Joe Bowser attended the rally and voiced their support for the schools. They said dipping into the fund would put the county further in debt. Bowser said some commissioners may be interested in raising taxes by up to 2 cents to support the schools.

LEONARD PITTS: Shame on Arizona. TOMORROW

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

If political sign violates ordinance, remove it While the removal of political signs may be upsetting to the candidates who are running, I believe that there is little to do about it. If city regulation prohibits the placement of such signs on public grounds, then they must come to expect it. While I obviously will not defend the placement of the signs on public land, I will not say that they are necessarily a distraction or inconvenience. I often do not notice them because they are so small.

Candidates must learn to expect it.

YOUR VIEW

---

Nevertheless, if regulation states that it is unlawful, then the signs must be removed, regardless of whether they block the right of way or not or how much they cost the candidates themselves. In addition, there must be another, more effective way to campaign and get one’s name out there. A way where they can spend campaign money and not worry about whether it is going to be wasted because someone walks off with their only or few outlets for campaigning. ALEX RUANO High Point

City staffers were overzealous in sign removal I am one of those running for office who had many of my campaign signs removed in the recent city sweep. I went to the Municipal Operations Center to retrieve them. I can tell you that there were a great deal more signs there than the 120 reported to the city manager. I wonder why the under-reporting. Prior to picking up my signs, I had gone to the office of the person who is in charge of enforcing

the code on signs. This person told me that she herself had joined the crews of 18 people in removing signs. Since the day of the sign removal also happened to be Earth Day, and the supervisor saw fit to join in the effort with the workers on that particular day, I suspect an overzealous effort to curry favor was involved in this whole incident. Especially since some of my signs, like those of other candidates, were definitely on private property. RICHARD BECKER High Point

Norcross leads strong field in District 61

HIGH POINT

----

City Council

oters have the opportunity May 4 choose the successor to Rep. Laura Wiley in the N.C. House of Representatives 61st District. No Democrat is running for the seat in the district that includes much of High Point and Jamestown and a small portion of Greensboro. It is highly likely, with a field this strong, that a run-off election may be necessary to determine the winner. Two of the candidates – Gerald Grubb and Paul Norcross – are seeking elective office for the first time while the other two – John Faircloth and Georgia Nixon-Roney are city/town council members in their respective communities. All four favor holding the line on taxes and getting a grip on spending, and all but Grubb say they would vote to lift the 100-school limit on charter schools. Faircloth, 71, who sought this legislative seat as a Democrat in 1992, has served in the administrative side of government for 31 years, including three years with the N.C. Department of Justice and 16 years as chief of police in High Point. He’s been on the policy-making side seven years, serving on High Point City Council since 2003. Faircloth has said he is interested in simplifying the state’s tax structure, revision of the N.C. Department of Transportation’s equity formula and continuing state financial support for the High Point Market. He claims many people in Raleigh don’t understand and don’t appreciate market’s positive impact on the state. Grubb, 64, a strong advocate for laws that will help rather than hamper small business in North Carolina, didn’t visit with us, but his campaign literature claims he is pro-life, pro-Second Amendment and says “no” to gay marriage, amnesty for illegals, the state spending more than it takes in and any new taxes. He also campaigned against the federal health care bill. With 20 years’ experience as an attorney, Nixon-Roney, 44, claims High Point has not had a strong voice in Raleigh and that she has the political experience (member of Jamestown Town Council since 2007 and current mayor pro tem) and work ethic to “make a difference.” She wants the state to do more to ensure all students who want to attend college are prepared to do so and vows to work to revitalize the state’s business climate so that North Carolina could attempt to become a “Delaware” for corporate clients, noting that over 50 percent of U.S. publicly-traded corporations and 60 percent of the Fortune 500 companies are incorporated in that state. Norcross, 44, who owns a supply chain management/ consulting company, is founder and chairman of Phoenix Academy (Guilford County’s only charter school) and founder and chairman of 7 Degrees of Change, a global literacy program. Norcross cites the need for advocacy and practical experience to kick-start both economic growth and job creation – creating a more positive environment for small business growth and better marketing the district’s business resources in addition to leveraging lessons learned in successful charter schools to improve both educational management and achievement in public schools. He sees a need, in addition to strengthening the High Point Market, to encourage home furnishings manufacturers from across the country and around the world to headquarter, bring research and development, logistics/distribution and job training to our district. Nixon-Roney and Faircloth bring both political experience and talent to the table in this race but Norcross, with his record of advocacy, successful practical experience and a solid vision for job growth, reducing spending and taxes, restructuring the way the state deals with education, public safety, transportation, etc., and a number of methods for strengthening the High Point Market, appears to be the best candidate for District 61.

OUR MISSION

---

The High Point Enterprise is committed to this community ... and always will serve it by being an intensely local newspaper of excellent quality every day.

It’s already been a long campaign; 6 months to go

arly voting wound up Saturday and on Tuesday (hopefully) many eligible voters in High Point and Guilford County, Davidson, Forsyth and Randolph counties will go to the polls to cast votes in primary elections. For many of you, the primary has been or will be a step in the process that leads to the general election Nov. 2, with a couple of steps (run-off election June 22 if needed and filing for City Council positions in High Point and Archdale July 2-16) in between. For The High Point Enterprise, the local campaign coverage began eight months ago, some 14 months before the 2010 general election. It was on Sept. 16, 2009, that a story by Enterprise reporter Darrick Ignasiak first reported that former Davidson County Sheriff Gerald Hege was “testing the waters” for a run for the position he vacated in 2004 when he pleaded guilty to two felony counts of obstruction of justice for attempting to cover up money missing from the vice and narcotics unit of the sheriff’s office. Hege’s probation wound up in May 2007, and he registered to vote in October 2008. At that mid-September 2009 date, signs boosting Hege’s candidacy were visible throughout Davidson County. Almost two months later, on Nov. 6, a story atop the front page of the Enterprise was headlined “Hege makes it official” and a story across the bottom of the same page reported that Cathy Brewer Hinson was to announce the next day that she would challenge Rep. Howard Coble, R-6th, for his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Coble is seeking his 14th term. Both of these stories appeared four months before the filing period began Feb. 8, 2010. Before 2009 came to a close, Marcus Brandon had declared that he would challenge Rep. Earl Jones in the Democratic primary for the 60th State House District seat Jones has held since 2002. And Harold Costner, a Democrat and former chief deputy in the Guilford County sheriff’s office, announced he would challenge Republican BJ Barnes for the Guilford County sheriff’s badge Barnes has worn since 1994. As Paul Johnson, Enterprise political reporter, pointed out to me Thursday night, “The newspaper provides a scope and depth of coverage that you

can’t get from other media.” Two contests this time around are especially crucial for voters in High Point because no Democrats have filed for the offices, so whoever OPINION wins the primary – or the runoff if, indeed, one Tom is necessary – will, in Blount effect, be elected five or ■■■ six months before the general election. The Enterprise editorial board limited its primary endorsements to those two races for that reason. [The board decided to allow the parties to determine who the best candidates in contested races were for the general election, then schedule endorsement interviews for a number of major races in the fall.] Those Republican-only primary races are: the District 2 (one of two “High Point” seats) for Guilford County Board of Commissioners with Bill Bencini and Myrene Stanley the candidates; and the 61st State House District (commonly referred to as the only “High Point” seat in the General Assembly) with John Faircloth, Gerald Grubb, Georgia Nixon-Roney and Paul Norcross the candidates. As you will note in the simulated sample ballot published today or in Monday’s Enterprise, there are a plethora of important races. Please study the list, determine for whom you will cast your vote, then be sure to go to the polls on Tuesday. One person often can make a difference in an election, especially one which draws a low voter turnout. If you don’t vote, you really have no business complaining about the election outcome or what the people elected do once they get in office. I recall, during the latter years of my father-in-law’s life, that he didn’t go to the polls on Election Day. Whenever he would start talking politics when Betty Lou and I visited, she – never a fan of politics (too many overnighters at the courthouse tallying ballots) – would remind him gently, yet firmly, that he didn’t vote so she didn’t want to listen to his complaints. The same strategy applies to you. If you don’t vote, don’t complain.

COMMENTARY THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE SUNDAY, MAY 2, 2010 www.hpe.com

We can learn valuable lessons from our founders

n 1710, a group of 695 German and Swiss men, women and children left Europe to start a new colony. More than half of them would die before reaching the site they named New Bern at the union of the Neuse and Trent Rivers in Carolina. Bath, established in 1705, had about 50 residents and it would be 1712 before Edenton was established. New Bern struggled but became the largest town in the colony for many years. That colonial heritage and charm is alive to be seen today. A new book, “New Bern, 1710 in the Carolinas,” gives fresh insights into what life was like for our early ancestors. Author Jimmy C. Waters use diaries, property deeds, news accounts and history books to tell the story of struggles with disease,

wars with Native Americans, pirates and hardships in growing enough food to feed this settlement. On more than one occaMY SPIN sion the future of this new colony Tom was tested and it Campbell survived largely ■■■ due to the men and women who faced challenges, heartbreaks and setbacks but would not be defeated. This book weaves a story around the Bender family, a young boy whose parents die before seeing their new home. Using real-life characters, the novel ties together historical events in a highly readable way we haven’t experienced

since the late Inglis Fletcher’s 1940s Carolina series. There is much to be learned about the Tuscarora War, the influence of pirates and the difficulty of travel within the state. There were déjà vu insights into the colony’s government, often stagnated by leadership arguments between the appointed governor and colonial legislature and the lack of revenues. Sometimes we like to romanticize those early years, but there is neither glamour nor grandeur recounting how difficult it was to give birth to a new town and new colony. While there were a few wealthy plantation families, most early residents of this state came searching for religious or personal freedom, wanting to make a better life than the one they left. We were

not an aristocratic colony, mostly hard-working folks trying to provide for their families. We remain pretty much the same today. On more than one occasion, I found myself wanting to draw comparisons between those first colonists and people today, wondering if we could endure similar hardships. They couldn’t turn to government at any level to solve their problems. Early settlers had each other and were personally responsible for their own outcomes. This year we celebrate with the people of New Bern as they observe the 300th anniversary of their founding. Not too far away, Tarboro is also celebrating its 250th birthday. It would do us well to go visit these early towns, to study their

history and hear their stories about North Carolina’s early years. Lessons learned from early settlers might be worth learning anew. These stories are our stories; every generation faces challenges and we can both celebrate those brave men and women on whose shoulders we stand while taking comfort in knowing that they survived and thrived under conditions much worse than we will ever know, inspiring us to persevere in meeting our challenges.

Power grab Obama administration launches another assault on American capitalism

s President Obama pushes for stricter regulations on Wall Street institutions, I want to call us back to caution. Undoubtedly, we should learn from past mistakes and forge a path through to prosperity and an understanding of proper limits on the dangers associated with potentially catastrophic lending and investment practices. But without appropriate caution, we will jump the gun with an over-expanded and unjustifiably influential federal government in the financial sector. It is imperative that we look at our past to truly understand how we got here. And we need not look further than the Carter administration’s Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 for the answer. That act required banks to lend to uncreditworthy borOPINION rowers, mostly in underprivileged and minority Michael communities. Reagan While the concept of ■■■ putting more Americans in homes comes across as a “feel good” policy, the fact of the matter is that these types of policies saddle families who don’t have the income or earning potential to meet their payment obligations, leading to foreclosure and displacement. This type of enabling legislation, coupled with predatory lenders and institutions, including those under federal government control, who would push potential investors into homebuying and other schemes for which they were not fiscally viable, formed an all-too-powerful formula that led to an almost paralyzing economic bust. Democrats in Washington have looked at this scenario as a political opportunity in the run-up to the midterm elections. Without acknowledging the complexity or history of the issue, they hope to score easy points with a hit on Wall Street and the promise of reform. But insensible reform is nothing but reckless. In recent weeks, all 41 Republican senators, under the leadership of Mitch

McConnell, signed a letter stating their opposition to the current version of the “Wall Street reform bill.” If needed, this type of unity could stop the bill. Key Republicans have declared their intent to use their unity as a negotiating position with which to improve the bill, rather than as a tool to kill it. Sen. John McCain said, “This one is a little bit different (than the health care bill). We want to keep 41 votes together to have a negotiating position; on health care, we didn’t like any of it.” This is the type of measured, strategic leadership we need in Washington. Promising bipartisan talks are under-

way, and if Republicans stay strong, we can see a way through to a reasonable reform which does not increase the size and influence of the federal government at the expense of the core components of our economy. There are a few key provisions Republicans must continue to fight: First, the suggested creation of a new “Consumer Protection Agency” to tighten government oversight is a blatantly unnecessary power-grab. Its proposed duties could be easily handled through existing agencies. Second, Democrats are pushing for the creation of a $50 billion fund which

could be used by the government to seize and dismantle large, failing financial agencies. This proposal only endorses “too big to fail” and institutionalizes the misguided bailouts of the past two years. Third, Republicans must oppose a proposed tax on bank liabilities, to the tune of $90 billion over 10 years, which would be designed to help the government recoup losses from the recent bailouts. While Americans are entitled to recoup their lost tax dollars, placing a new tax on a weak financial sector is not the way to go about it. Lastly, we can expect new regulatory standards for derivatives to soon be passed through committee. Abuse of derivatives must end, but the private sector rightly argues that these proposed regulations are too intrusive and restrictive and would harm America’s ability to compete internationally. More risky investments and sales would potentially be prohibited. We need smart – not smothering – reform on derivatives. As Washington grapples with these important issues, and the president seeks camera time in our nation’s financial capital, it is important for us all to remember that the reforms of a past failing Democratic administration enabled the very issues over which they are now indignant. Too-broad reform only serves as a mask for an expanded federal government and will ultimately lead to greater economic uncertainty and market paralysis. When it comes to market innovation, Americans will vote far more effectively with their wallet than through misguided and self-interested members of Congress. More than ever, we need smart and realistic leadership, not another Washington power grab.

Is UAW really looking out for its Thomas members? BY PHIL J. BRYANT

here’s something rotten in Denmark. It’s time to face the music. Oh, what a tangled web we weave. ... Pick a phrase, any phrase, to describe the precarious position that employees of Thomas Built Buses now find themselves in when relying on Local 5287 to negotiate their fate come October of this year. As we learned in his guest column of March 18, Gariel J. Ross is no fan of the current leadership of Local 5287 and their ability to negotiate a new labor agreement. Ross correctly pointed out that the contract at Thomas is set to expire in October of this year. It is no secret of the incongruity and dysfunctional manner in which the local has

operated for the last 4½ years. Ross, who is a “shop steward,” even went further to accuse local hierarchy of “racial polarization” and “intellectual dishonesty.” That’s rather shocking coming from an insider! Ross believes that unless there is a change in the local leadership, the new contract could include wage reductions and a loss of benefits. I agree with him, but I believe the liabilities go much deeper. Allow me to explain. I have nothing but contempt and mistrust with the “parent union,” the International United Auto Workers. From my first encounter with them at the “captive audience meeting” employees were required to attend in March 2004 and up to now, I continue to believe they are little more than “snake

oil hawkers!” Heck, they even referred to Thomas as Taylor Built Buses! What preparation for a company-wide address! Repeatedly they have proven they do not respect the autonomy or the integrity of the local union! Court documents retrieved from the NLRB hearing in January 2005 (Jeff Ward vs. Freightliner/UAW Card Check Proceedings) prove that the International UAW is little more than a modern day Judas Escariot! The documents establish and prove that the International UAW was willing to “freeze” the wages of Mount Holly employees on their next contract in exchange for

Freightliner recognizing “card check” as an acceptable way for UAW organization. Guess what? Ten months later on the next contract at Mount Holly ... wages were frozen! In 2007, when Local 3520, at Cleveland, N.C., was renegotiating its contract, an apparent impasse was at hand that included “22 open articles and 86 sub-issues involving health and safety.” The Statesville Record and Landmark reported Dec. 5, 2007, that bargaining committee member Franklin Torrence said, “The International UAW called on the local to accept a package we had already voted to reject” and went on to say, “We were told to take this and ratify it, we could work out the open issues later.” Members convincingly rejected the

contract 749-621 and a strike ensued without the blessings of the International UAW. For attempting to represent the majority interest of the membership at the local level, five members of the bargaining committee were terminated for their roles in the “wildcat strike.” Allen Bradley, David Crisco, Glenna Swinford, Franklin Torrence and Robert Whiteside would later write, “What we didn’t realize was that the UAW is actually a passive, company ran union that has no desire to help their members.” That statement is intriguing! Time will tell just how badly employees at Thomas will be “Escariotized” by the peddlers of “snake oil!” PHIL J. BRYANT lives in Thomasville.

Signs of rebound Furniture orders continue to improve BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The data in Ken Smith’s monthly Furniture Insights report continues to show a slight improvement in new orders for the fourth consecutive month. After new orders com-

pared to the same time last year ended a yearlong decline in October, slight increases have been documented since November. The latest data, released Thursday, reveals new furniture orders in February were up 13 percent from last year. New orders also increased 23 percent from January. Smith, a CPA with Smith Leonard Accountants and Consultants, also reported that about 68 percent of furniture manufacturers surveyed have experienced an increase in sales

in the last two months. The increases follow fears from retailers and Smith that a harsh winter and snowstorms that hit the Southeast and Midwest might have hindered sales at the beginning of the year. “The results for February continued to be encouraging for most manufacturers and distributors,” Smith said. “We have heard that some of the momentum from February may have been lost a bit in March, but certainly we have not heard this from everyone.”

Other areas that saw year-over-year increases included shipments with a 4 percent increase and backlogs with a 34 percent increase. Employment in the industry continued to drop, falling 5 percent from the same time last year. The latest report was released a week after the spring High Point Market ended. Smith said he heard several positive remarks about the event, which was held April 17-22. “Based on all we heard at the High Point Market,

it does appear that business is getting better at retail,” he said. “Maybe not where it once was or even where we would like for it to be – but at least improving.” Smith added that the furniture market seemed to be “distinctly improved.” “We didn’t even hear much complaining at all...,” he said. “We think it was a good experience for those who came. Those that did not missed a good one.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Cancer survivor helps others

WHERE’S THE BEEF?

----

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Tricia Setzer knows that a breast cancer diagnosis can feel like the end of the road for some people. Her own diagnosis in 1997, however, turned out to be the beginning of a new life and a new career path. Now the owner of Tricia’s Pink Bowtique, Setzer said she felt alone when she began her battle with the disease and had many questions with no place to go for the answers. “My life was abnormal for a year,” said Setzer, who underwent a mastectomy and weeks of chemotherapy treatment. “I felt so alone. I didn’t know anyone else with breast cancer.” While recuperating from chemotherapy treatment, Setzer said she had a lot of time to think. Sometimes she thought about her mastectomy and worried that she would never find clothes that fit properly again. Sometimes she wondered how she could help other breast cancer patients. As breast cancer became more prevalent in the early 2000s, all of her thoughts meshed into one idea – a store that offered prosthetics and some inspirational products for breast cancer survivors. Leaving her career in property management behind, Setzer opened Tricia’s Pink Bowtique – spelled “bowtique” after the iconic pink ribbon that represents breast cancer awareness – in 2002 at 1701 N. Main St. While her own cancer was

–

Tricia’s Pink Bowtique provides mastectomy products and fittings for prosthetic breast inserts on an appointment basis. It is certified through the American Board of Orthotics and Prosthetics. The store is located at 1701 N. Main St. at the corner of State Avenue and N. Main Street. It can be reached at 8868464.

gone and her health and confidence had returned, she said she thought it was important to provide other women with the information and assistance that she didn’t have while battling the disease. Specifically, Setzer wanted to focus on custom fitting for prosthetic breast inserts. She said the mastectomy took a toll on her self-confidence even after the cancer was gone.

“When you go through that, you wonder, ‘How am I ever going to look right in clothes again?’” she said. “But after you get fitted properly (for a prosthetic breast insert), you really get your confidence back.” Inside of the pink walls of her store, she now performs prosthetic fittings on an appointment basis. Patients must have a prescription from their doctor for the fitting, and often insurance will partially or completely pay for the prosthetic piece. She also sells lingerie and bathing suits with built-in pockets for the prosthetics. Her customers come from all over the Triad and sometimes as far away as Raleigh. They come for the fittings as well as other breast cancer awareness products in the store. The pink hats or scarves that she sells make a person feel unified with other breast cancer survivors, she said. “A lot of times, these

ladies will come into the store before their surgery just to talk,” Setzer said. “I can tell them what I went through and what they can do to get back to normal after the surgery.” The prosthetic fittings often change the lives of breast cancer survivors, she said, allowing them to go on living as they had before. But it’s the connection and the experience that enhances her business and allows her to

connect with her patients, she said. “There’s a connection people who have gone through breast cancer have,” Setzer said. “People who haven’t had it, they mean well with the things that they say. But unless you have gone through the chemotherapy, the mastectomy, and the hair loss, you don’t know what that’s like.”

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – The building’s “L” shape is all that’s recognizable from the very first Wendy’s restaurant after a major makeover in Ohio. A ceremonial ribbon-cutting was held in downtown Columbus Friday at what’s now the home of the Catholic Foundation, which raises money for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus. White and blue stripes on the restaurant’s exterior have been replaced with a subdued brick facade and a regal entrance topped off with spires. It has been more than three years since poor sales led Wendy’s to close the place where Dave Thomas started the chain in 1969. The foundation says the purchase and renovations cost $1.7 million. Executive Director Jennifer Damiano says the location, across the street from St. Joseph Cathedral, is perfect.

Woman hopes tractor course pulls in the business MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

JACKSONVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an old-fashioned pastime, with a huge following in agricultural communities. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming to Jacksonville. Victoria Costner of Jacksonville is planning to open the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first tractor pull course this spring. Costner said the idea began as a dream when she was young and her family competed in various local â&#x20AC;&#x153;pulls.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I grew up tractor pulling,â&#x20AC;? she said. A few months ago, she purchased 25 acres of land on Deppe Road. Since then, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been working to ready the course for its first competition, a task that she admits is a labor of love. The finished

grounds will have a 35-by-300foot tractor course complete with guardrails, bleachers, areas for food vending and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attractions and parking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve moved really quickly on it,â&#x20AC;? Costner said. The first big event, the Deppe Showdown National Truck and Tractor Pull, will be held May 7-8, organized by the United Pullers of the Carolinas. Between 35 and 50 teams from across the U.S. and Canada are expected to participate in the event, Costner said. And she has already been busy getting the word out: Her course has gotten support and sponsorship from the JacksonvilleOnslow Sports Commission, Kiwanis, the Museum of the Marine and the Richlands

High School chapter of Future Farmers of America. Jesse Newsom, executive director of the JacksonvilleOnslow Sports Commission, said that based on figures from other events, Costner can expect between 1,500 to 4,000 people to attend the pull competition, and revenues of $45,000 to $60,000 per day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a rural area, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the appeals and attractions for people,â&#x20AC;? Newson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know a lot of people in our area are farmers, so these are the types of events that they enjoy and they like.â&#x20AC;? Newsom said the commission was helping by advertising and promoting the event. Tickets for the competition will be $15 per day, Newsom said.

Job hunters: Get a handle on corporate culture BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

Hints of a declining recession spawn hope for job seekers. The market is ripening, albeit slowly, for long-term solutions to employment needs. When compensation becomes more obtainable, you must assess corporate culture to gauge whether a particular company offers a future, not just a job. Selena Rezvani, leadership speaker and author at Philadelphia’s NextGenWomen L.L.C., knows that as a change management consultant, she needs to grasp a company’s culture so that her recommendations are well-received. She assesses corporate culture before even gathering data. Rezvani describes this culture as “nuanced – (with) implicit, unspoken rules about how things get done. Each company has a unique culture, just as a group has a distinct dynamic (coming from) its members.” How do corporate culture and work environment differ? Danny Wong, lead marketer at Blank Label Group Inc., an online custom dress shirt startup in Wellesley, Mass., indicates that “a corporate culture is related to a company’s mission rather

than a work environment, which is more subjective and involves limited space and a limited number of people.” But avoid generalizing, says Michael Bettick, managing director of The Mergis Group in Baltimore: “The culture could vary depending on the department. The sales and marketing group could be a great place, while the accounting group might be a sweatshop.”

‘COMPASS’ You’ll be going blind into a company if you haven’t identified your own values. “Use your values as a compass,” Rezvani advises. Think about what makes you feel fulfilled at work, Wong explains. Once you’ve identified your values, don’t be reluctant to consider what the company line teaches you. Some web sites advertise the company, according to Rezvani, mentioning “promoting from within” or reinforcing a company’s personality. She advises that, without fail, you “access anyone in your network or extended network who’s worked at the company for information about how to position yourself in an interview. Then, use your gut instinct.” Executive search consultant Susan Martin of

SPECIAL | WORKWISE FEATURES

Selena Rezvani is constantly ferreting out corporate culture as part of her work at Philadelphia’s NextGenWomen L.L.C., where she’s a change management consultant. In this photo she’s speaking on the topic. Plan B Communications L.L.C., in Los Angeles, Calif., advises candidates to review mission and value statements on web sites for what they reveal about corporate social responsibility. Value statements often indicate the company’s record at fulfilling its mission – “insight that may not be obvious during the interview process,” she says. She also suggests checking blogs for reasons people left companies.

Before and after interviews, “plan for ‘white space,’ ” recommends Darcy Eikenberg of Atlanta’s Coach Darcy L.L.C. “Schedule enough time to arrive early and/or stay late enough to hang around the lobby, the cafeteria, or any other public space where this company’s employees go. Watch their faces and their posture; listen to their conversation. Is it energetic and excited? Or is it filled with dread and disgust?” Wong says observing

the behavior of people in the company will also give you more information about culture. Do they seem to be easy to talk to or do they work isolated from each other? Do they seem happy? What makes them feel that way? It has to be more than “the donut box on the coffee table every morning,” he says. It could be a good-sized paycheck or, as in his company, a chance to be “antiestablishment, to change the world.” You’ll find out

more if you speak with a range of people in different parts of the company at different levels. Then you can assess whether your values parallel theirs. When speaking in interviews or informally, ask specific questions to get targeted answers. Rezvani suggests getting at traits and habits among employees by asking about people who’ve been most successful and what made them be. A response such as “very hard-working” gives you one value. Eikenberg suggests asking questions about characteristics that are “important to the job seeker, such as ‘autonomy,’ ‘recognition’ and ‘work-life balance.’ If people struggle with an answer, it’s likely not a common characteristic,” she says. “After the interview,” Rezvani states, “before you discuss with others and get input, jot down what you liked and didn’t like. Could you see yourself not just fitting in there but thriving? Talking right away can dilute your own thoughts.” DR. MILDRED L. CULP, Workwise Features, is an award-winning journalist.

Jockey Calvin Borel rides Super Saver to victory during the 136th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on Saturday evening in Louisville, Ky.

Super Saver cashes in LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) – They don’t call him Bo-rail for nothing. Calvin Borel grabbed the rail and didn’t let go Saturday, sloshing through the slop on another flawless ride to win his third Kentucky Derby in four years. The most wide-open Derby in years ended with a sure thing — Borel crossing the finish line and punching the air with this right fist, raising it toward the gray sky. The jockey’s magic touch on his home track gave trainer Todd Pletcher his first Derby victory after 24 failures. “Calvin Borel is a great rider anywhere he goes, but at Churchill Downs he’s even five lengths better,” Pletcher said. “He knows how to ride this track and gets along with his colt beautifully.” Borel’s ride nearly duplicated

the one he turned in last year aboard 50-1 shot Mine That Bird, except he and Super Saver went off at lower odds and were never in last place. He was confident enough in his colt and his knowledge of the track to take him off the lead in the early going of the 11⁄4-mile race. In all but one of his six previous races, Super Saver had never been farther back than second in the early stages. Borel knew that strategy wouldn’t work in a 20-horse Derby field on a tiring, sloppy track that had been pelted by heavy rain early in the day. Breaking from the No. 4 post, he immediately tucked his colt along the rail – a predictable move considering his nickname – and there they stayed almost the entire way. Super Saver was timed in 2:04.45

as the 8-1 second-choice behind favorite Lookin At Lucky, whose 6-1 odds tied Harlan’s Holiday in 2002 for the longest priced favorite in 136 runnings. He paid $18, $8.80 and $6. Borel is the first jockey to win three derbies in four years; Bill Hartack won three in five years from 1960-64. “Calvin Borel is amazing. He is fearless,” trainer Bob Baffert said. “He takes control of the race, and you have to give him a lot of credit. He’s a great rider.” Baffert should know. He thought he had his fourth Derby victory in the bag last year until front-running Pioneerof the Nile was overtaken in the stretch by Borel and Mine That Bird. Baffert’s Lookin At Lucky wound up sixth, clearly compromised by starting on the rail. His

other colt, Conveyance, finished 15th after setting the pace for more than three-quarters of a mile. Trained by Nick Zito, Ice Box returned $11.20 and $8 after nipping Paddy O’Prado at the wire for second. Paddy O’Prado paid $7.40 to show. The crowd of 155,804 sought shelter early on from the rain, which had stopped by post time, with sun breaking through the clouds. Make Music for Me was fourth, followed by Noble’s Promise, Lookin At Lucky, Dublin, Stately Victor, Mission Impazible, Devil May Care, American Lion and Jackson Bend. Discreetly Mine was 13th, followed by Dean’s Kitten, Conveyance, Homeboykris, Sidney’s Candy, Line of David, Awesome Act and Backtalk.

Mayfair clings to lead at Quail Hollow CHARLOTTE (AP) – Winless for almost 12 years on the PGA Tour, Billy Mayfair will take whatever he can get. There was that Friday game he won a few weeks ago at Whisper Rock, the Arizona club where members include Geoff Ogilvy and Paul Casey. He won a match against his wife, a good college player. And he won a qualifier Monday, significant because it gave Mayfair a tee time in the Quail Hollow Championship. Now comes a chance for the real thing. Mayfair kept the ball in play Saturday and kept the lead at Quail Hollow, shooting a 1under 71 to take a two-shot lead over Masters champion Phil Mickelson and Carolina favorite Davis Love III. A victory would be his first since the 1998 Buick Open, and the first time a Monday qualifier won on the PGA Tour since Fred Wadsworth in the 1986 Southern Open. It is hard for Mayfair not to get caught up in the possibilities. He lost his PGA Tour card after the worst season of his career, and a victory would sure take care of that. He only got into Quail Hollow because of a Monday qualifier that he almost missed. Mayfair was late arriving in Charlotte, had to race to the course to make his tee time and then shot a 65, his best score of the year.

Inside...

----

Third-round scores from Quail Hollow. 8D All that’s left is to hold off Mickelson, Love and a collection of players who have won far more recently than Mayfair. “I’ve got to put it out of my mind,” he said. “I’ve got to use my 21 years of experiences out here. I’m a tour veteran, I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I know what I need to do tomorrow and how to handle it.” He has been good enough so far, finishing three rounds at 9-under 207. It’s his first 54-hole lead in four years. Mickelson, in his first start since winning a third green jacket, overcame food poisoning at the start of the week and a few errant shots to put himself in a great position to join a strong list of champions at Quail Hollow. He birdied the par 5s on the back nine, and he closed with a tough two-putt from 60 feet for a 71. Love birdied three of his last five holes for a 4-under 68 and will play in the final group with Mayfair. Two-time major champion Angel Cabrera had a 73 and was in the group at 6-under 210 that included Pebble Beach winner Dustin Johnson (72) and J.J. Henry (71).

Billy Mayfair carries a two-shot lead into today’s final round at Quail Hollow Club.

HIT AND RUN

few points to ponder while waiting for the sinking Atlanta Braves to scream “May Day! May Day!” •Mets minor-leaguer R.A. Dickey made the most of his mulligan on Thursday night. And that’s no bull. Dickey, a 35-year-old journeyman right-hander who’s enjoyed a couple cups of coffee in the big leagues, was almost perfect for the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons in a 4-0 victory over the Durham Bulls. After allowing a leadoff single on his third pitch, the knuckleballer retired 27 straight batters. Dickey, who fanned six, did not start throwing the knuckler until after a 2005 shoulder injury that robbed him of most of his velocity. A few more efforts like that could enable Dickey to punch his ticket

back to the show. Crash Davis tells me the majors are really something. •The show’s over for Mark Cuban and his under-achieving Dallas Mavericks. Cuban made waves earlier in the playoffs when he said that he hated the San Antonio Spurs. The always controversial owner later claimed he was joking. But the joke was on the second-seeded Mavs, who lost to the seventh-seeded Spurs in six games. I wonder if the San Antonio Spurs serenaded the ousted Mavs with the Toby Keith classic “How Do You Like Me Now?” following their Game 6 victory late Thursday night.

Wesleyan athletes fan out across the U.S. P

icking the perfect college often requires a leap of faith from young men and women. Kevin Polkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to attend Eastern University in Pennsylvania turned out to be the easy part. Leaving his home in New Jersey a week before his junior year at Wesleyan Christian Academy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; now that SPORTS was hard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lord kind Steve of laid all that Hanf out,â&#x20AC;? Polk said. â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could tell God was in this. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really helped me with my walk with Christ.â&#x20AC;? The Wesleyan family gathered last week for what seemingly has become an annual tradition: the scholarship signing ceremony for athletes going to play sports at the next level. The soccer team will send Polk to Eastern, Jordan Lessard to Wheaton College outside of Chicago and Aaron Vidovich to Anderson University in South Carolina. Lessard was all but destined for Wheaton, the four-year private school often referred to as the Harvard of Christian colleges. When he enrolls next year, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a fifth-generation student on the campus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I received a little bit of pressure from the family,â&#x20AC;? he said with a smile while also mentioning that he considered Davidson and College of Charleston. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was kind of meant to be. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a Wesleyan environment. After being around guys like this, I wanted to be in a place where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d experience the same values and be around the same kind of people.â&#x20AC;? The center-midfielder also will be around talented soccer players similar to his Wesleyan

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

Four Wesleyan Christian Academy seniors signed on the dotted line to continue their playing careers in college. From left: Aaron Vidovich will play soccer at Anderson University in S.C., Kevin Polk will play soccer at Eastern University in Pennsylvania, Jordan Lessard will play soccer at Wheaton College located just outside of Chicago, and Cara Chance will swim at Radford University in Virginia. teammates. Wheaton, which plays in the NCAA Division III College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin, has won two national championships and produced 46 All-Americans in its proud history. Lessard, who plans to study business and economics, committed to the school last May. Vidovich knew immediately that Anderson was the place for him. He liked Appalachian State, but not for soccer, and also was in touch with Covenant College. But the NCAA Division II school from Conference Carolinas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the former CVAC â&#x20AC;&#x201C; won him over as soon as he stepped foot on campus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started right off that I was going to Anderson,â&#x20AC;? said the midfielder, who may study graphic design. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody there was extremely nice, I

loved the coach and the soccer program. It reminded me a lot of the program here.â&#x20AC;? The pull of Wesleyanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer program and the school itself was so great for Polk that he actually left home to become a part of it. Polk grew up in the southern part of New Jersey and developed into an accomplished soccer player. As a freshman, he was selected to join the Charlotte Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; touring team on their soccer/mission trip to Brazil. The Eagles, a professional team, have a long history with Wesleyan due to former legendary Trojans coach David Sanford now working with the club. His son, Mitch, helps organize the international tours, and almost every year those trips include a few Wesleyan standouts.

Chance dives into Radford pool BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

HIGH POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Most swimmers who get the chance to swim on college teams started young and devoted their entire lives to the pool. Not Cara Chance. The Wesleyan Christian Academy senior actually walked away from the sport for a few years, trying her hand at soccer and gymnastics. But ... â&#x20AC;&#x153;Swimming was what I loved, so I started back up again freshman year with STAR Aquatics,â&#x20AC;? Chance said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was hard getting back into it, but it was worth it. I just love it.â&#x20AC;? Chance was part of a signing ceremony last week as the school honored four college-bound student-athletes. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only one who inked an NCAA Division I deal, set to swim for the Radford Highlanders. The Big South Conference school competes in the Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association, a collection of schools from the Big South, Southern, Atlantic Sun and Mid-Eastern Athletic conferences. The Big South only has two colleges with swimming and diving programs: Radford and VMI. Chanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to swim for Radford proved fairly easy. She was considering College of Charleston, Georgia Southern

and Lenoir-Rhyne. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had three requirements for a school,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The big thing was womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swimming â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that narrowed it down a lot. I wanted a mid-size school, nothing really big or really small; and third, I want to get involved in campus outreach.â&#x20AC;? Chance started swimming at a young age and was competing year-round as an elementary school student before leaving the sport. When she came back with STAR and the Trojans for her high school years, it became apparent that she was gifted enough to swim at the next level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My junior year I was talking to a bunch of different people,â&#x20AC;? Chance said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had put in the effort for so long â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Gosh, can I do this in college?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; But I knew I was prepared after talking to my coaches.â&#x20AC;? Chance primarily swam the 100 fly, 100 back, 100 free and 200 free for STARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Doug Cornish and Wesleyanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mary Kay Bell. She plans to compete in those same events at Radford, where sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also major in biology with an eye toward occupational therapy. And it might just be a good thing Chance already took off a few years, because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly back in full-time swim mode for the foreseeable future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything has been good,â&#x20AC;? Chance said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My club team, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just like a little family. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there every morning with each other at 5 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock. That kind of creates a bond.â&#x20AC;?

During a return visit after his sophomore year, Polk got to know Colby Robbins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just noticed something different about the guys that went here, how they were on the right path, doing things right,â&#x20AC;? Polk remembered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt a call that I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t where I should be and I wanted to follow something greater than myself.â&#x20AC;? Polk talked to administrators at Wesleyan, then soccer coach Scott Reitnour. All agreed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including Polkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that it would pretty much take a miracle for Polk to leave home for his final two years of high school. Then Reitnour and Polkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Don and Laurie â&#x20AC;&#x201C; got their sign from above. During another conversation between

the parties, it was discovered that Reitnour had served as Kevin Polkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach during a Charlotte Eagles camp in New Jersey when the player was 9 years old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when my parents knew,â&#x20AC;? Polk said. The attacking center-mid lived with teammate Daniel Craverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family last year and starred for the Trojans. This fall he moved in with Seth Kirschâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family, but suffered a huge setback on the field when he broke his ankle. But off the field, Polk had been transformed. In addition to excelling as a student, Polkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faith grew to the point that he became the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Senior Chaplain this year. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll head home to Eastern â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just outside of Philadelphia and about an hour from his house â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a changed person. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pretty close, but far enough,â&#x20AC;? Polk said of Eastern, which plays in the NCAA D-III Middle Atlantic Conference. Reitnour, who has watched some 35 Wesleyan soccer players sign with colleges over the past seven years, lauded the choices of Polk, Vidovich and Lessard. And not so much the where, but the why. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those kids have made decisions to go to schools that will help them become better people. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really cool to me,â&#x20AC;? Reitnour said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being intentional in choosing schools with credible academic reputations where they will deepen their faith and they will become contributing members of society. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every one of them bled, every one of them cried â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a lot,â&#x20AC;? Reitnour added of their time with the team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were wholly invested in our program and we will not be able to replace them.â&#x20AC;? shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Cherry bolsters numbers at HPU T

here are some numbers that High Point University men’s head basketball coach Scott Cherry refrains from talking about. He doesn’t put much stock in how many stars a player was given by those recruiting rating sites on the internet. And, he refrains from labeling players by number position such as 5 for center, 4 for power forward and so on. There are some numbers Cherry is excited talking about when discussing about his recruiting class that will be coming in for the 2010-11 season. Numbers such as bringing in seven new players next season to go with six holdovers and put his stamp on the program for his second season. Numbers such as bigger size at every position other than a comparably proportioned replacement at center for 6-11 Cruz Daniels. He did attract a couple of 6-8 post players in Georges Massoda of Forsyth Country Day and Travis Elliott of Lauderdale Lakes, Fla., both who will be expected to contribute considering the biggest returning Panthers are 6-6 players Earnest Bridges and Corey Law. “We won’t have someone like Cruz, but we will have bulk,” Cherry said. “Where we had 6-5 guys that weighed 220 pounds, we’ll have 6-8 guys who weigh 230, 240, Travis is up to 245 and 250. We’ll have guys who can battle and hold their place on the block and score over people because they are bigger. We are going to miss Cruz because he altered the game on the defensive end of the floor, but collectively we will better defensively from the standpoint

of teams not being able to get to the rim. He added size at the wings in 6-8 John Brown of Jacksonville, Fla., 6-6 Du’Vaughn Maxwell of Petersburg, Va., 6-4 Justin Cheek of Ardrey SPORTS Kell in Charlotte and 6-4 Cameron Solomon of Greer Lovejoy High in Georgia; Smith and size at guard with 6-2 ■■■ Shay Shine, a transfer from Iowa Western Community College. “The look of the team is going to be a lot different,” Cherry said. “We’ve gotten bigger and more athletic at every position. I don’t think our style of play will change in the fact that we’ll have a lot of changing parts that will enhance the way I want to play.” Because of the extra parts, Cherry believes he won’t have to be as conservative with his defenses and will have tougher, harder practices. “This year I had to back off some of the full-court pressure and some of the trapping because of the limited numbers we had,” Cherry said. “This year, I envision us being able to do more of that stuff because of the depth we will have. “Competition in practice is going to be phenomenal. There are guys who are going to be competing for playing time. Everybody is going to have an opportunity to start. Practice is going to fun next year. It is going to be highly competitive. Not that it wasn’t this year but we didn’t have the same type of

numbers so we couldn’t go as long and couldn’t do as many of the things we wanted to do, I had to pull back a little because I didn’t want to wear the guys out and get someone injured because we did have limited numbers.” Cherry expects the competition on the team to be more intense because some of the recruits bring impressive credentials. Elliott was a key player on a team that went to the state finals in Florida’s largest classification. Solomon, a finalist for Georgia AAAA player of the year, averaged 25 points and scored as many as 42 for a team that went to the third round of the playoffs. Maxwell was the leading scorer at 18 ppg for a team that went unbeaten until poor free-throw shooting resulted in a loss in the Virginia AAA title game. Brown was tops with averages of 17.9 points and 12 rebounds on a team that lost in the Florida 1A finals as he led the way with 18 points despite a shoulder injury suffered in the semifinals. Cheek was the leading scorer on a team that went to the 4A Western regional finals this season. “The common denominator is they are all winners,” Cherry said. “They came from great programs with coaches that know how to teach the necessary skills. So all I need to do enhance them and get them stronger and get them acclimated to the college games.” Cherry recruited Shine in hopes that he will get acclimated more quickly. Shine, a point guard in high school who moved to shooting guard in junior college, was origi-

nally signed by now-HPU assistant Mike Balado for Florida Atlantic and wound up in junior college when he couldn’t qualify academically. Cherry envisions Shine, who was recruited by Cal State-Fullerton and Illinois State, will play at shooting guard with the ability to move to point guard if needed to help senior Tehran Cox and sophomore Jarius Sims. Cherry said Massoda and Elliott are traditional back to the basket centers, but that Elliot could step out and make jump shots. He described Maxwell, who has a 7-2 wing span, and Brown as high energy guys involved in all phases of the game including steals, deflections and blocked shot. Brown played small forward in high school. Maxwell played in the post for a team loaded with guards. He said that he expects Solomon and Cheek to help spread the defense by providing more shooting weapons from the outside in addition to Nick Barbour, last season’s leading scorer and the only returning outside threat. Solomon, Cheek and Maxwell can drive to the hoop and dunk, something the Panthers lacked last season. Maxwell and Brown are hoped to provide more options in addition to returning Corey Law up front. “I see all these guys being impact players,” Cherry said. “We have guys coming back that logged a lot of minutes. But nothing is guaranteed next year because we recruited guys to make an impact. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Edwards learning on the job with Carolina CHARLOTTE (AP) – Armanti Edwards finished running a route Saturday morning and Carolina offensive coordinator Jeff Davidson hustled over for a critique. Seconds later, Panthers coach John Fox chimed in before clapping with encouragement. After Edwards caught a pass over the middle, receivers coach Tyke Tolbert shouted, “That’s it, Armanti!” Before the workout was over, Edwards was praised for quickly learning the

proper technique of fielding a punt. Nobody on Carolina’s roster is getting more attention at this weekend’s minicamp, and for a good reason. The former Appalachian State quarterback is the Panthers’ biggest draft gamble. “I’ve got a lot to learn,” Edwards said. Indeed, the wiry, speedy, elusive QB who engineered the Mountaineers’ stunning upset of Michigan in 2007 and delivered two FCS national championships, is not behind center anymore.

The 5-foot-11, 182-pound Edwards is running routes as a receiver, something he hasn’t done since his junior year of high school. He’s also fielding punts for the first time in his life. “It was expected,” Edwards said of his position change. “I’m undersized so I basically knew I was making the transition to receiver right away.”

Few expected Edwards to go so high in the draft, or have a team go to such lengths to take the only player in NCAA Division I history to pass for 10,000 yards and rush for 4,000 more. Panthers general manager Marty Hurney was so determined to get Edwards that he traded next year’s second-round pick to New England for the Pats’ third-round choice.

Thomasville Chevrolet

IS NOW Picking a puppy Carolina NAPA

arry has turned two years old. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a fun journey and still a long way to go. At this point, I could stop training and have an obedient and trusted friend for life. It seems like it was just a few weeks ago that I drove up to Michigan to pick him up. A while back we SPORTS bred him to our neighDick borâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s black Jones female, â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; McKenzie, and the puppies are a popular neighborhood attraction. Last week a couple came to look at the puppies, and wanted to see Larry so they walked down the drive to meet him. Meeting the sire and dam is an important consideration in choosing a puppy. In Larryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, I researched the family history and based my decision on past accomplishments. While this is a good indication of how the dog will turn out, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never a sure thing. Environment has a lot more to do with how a dog is perceived than heredity. The things that impressed our visitors, and almost everyone else who meets Larry, were the result of training. Researching history says nothing of nature, in fact, most accomplished dogs have a rather strong will, something that generates the drive to excel, and arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the best choice for most trainers. My old Lab, Ernie, was loved by almost everyone, but he was strong willed, aggressive, and purely a one man dog. He was a great hunting dog and got along well with people but he never really liked people. He was a major problem around other dogs because he had such a strong Alpha personality. Larry on the other hand is a type B personality, much calmer and, though heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enthusiastic and still has some puppy nature, a much more relaxed dog. He never met a person or dog he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like and is much softer hearted. He loves to hunt and works hard in the field, but lacks that hard edge that made Ernie difficult at times. The thing is though, that no amount of watching will allow you to see into a puppies nature at the six

to eight weeks theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re normally adopted out. True, you can see indications if you see a puppy that dominates the litter or perhaps holds back a bit, but only the people who are with the litter everyday really know much about behavior patterns. Sometimes theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the boss puppy and whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the shy, quiet one, but normally theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more interested in selling you a puppy. The best approach is to not tell the seller which type youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for and just ask questions. Ask which puppy seems dominant and if any have traits that set them apart. If some puppies seem too docile, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry too much. My first impression of Larry was that he would be lazy because he was so much calmer than Ernie had been. He is more relaxed, but anyone who has hunted with him will tell you heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardly lazy. In fact, my toughest job is keeping him held back. Of course, knowing which puppy is most aggressive or calmest doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do you any good if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what you want. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to be said for the bossy puppy. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more likely to turn out to be a spectacular dog if properly trained. Only you can decide whether you want to put that effort into the dog to get there, though. Strong willed dogs have a lot of heart, but will likely be a handful at times. Unless you do your homework, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll end up with an adult strong willed dog with a lot of unrealized potential. This wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be all that gratifying because you have to remember that what makes dog ownership special for most people is cooperation and obedience. A milder natured dog is probably a better choice. Mild nature has nothing to do with intelligence, only drive. Unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to donate a lot of your life to the dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s training, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get better results with a milder dog. No matter which type of dog you chose, if you put in the effort, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wind up with one of the best friends of your life. I see lotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of dogs and hardly ever see one that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really like. The biggest part of the decision is making the commitment to spend the first couple of years training your dog. Dog ownership is rewarding, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge respon-

THE BITE IS STILL BUILDING The fishing on the Roanoke River is spotty with several large schools of stripers being located and other anglers having a hard time finding fish. I talked to Adam Brooks, of Fowl Hooked Guide Service, this week and he reported a lot of activity further down the river about halfway between Weldon and Scotland Neck. Rod Thomas, of Captain Ponytail Guide Service, found about 20 stripers for Mel Lohr of High Point and his party. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last three or four days have been spotty due to a water drop but there are multiple schools of fish in the Weldon area.â&#x20AC;? Thomas reported. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re drifting and you find a school and pick up a few fish, mark the spot and when you run out of the fish, go back up for another pass. The fish arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dense enough to make long drifts just yet.â&#x20AC;? The good news is that most guides think the real bite hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really started yet and the best is yet to come. There are still some of the McKenzie/Larry puppies available. You can reach the Kanoys at (336) 869-8782. DICK JONES IS a freelance writer living in High Point. Larry is a 2 year old Fox Red Labrador who will hunt as well as do personal appearances with Dick.

Bruins strike first, ground Flyers in OT BOSTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In his first game back since a concussion seven weeks ago, Marc Savard scored on a delayed penalty with 6:08 left in the first overtime to give the Boston Bruins a 5-4 playoff victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday. The Bruins took a 1-0 lead in the best-of seven Eastern Conference semifinals. Game 2 is Monday night in Boston. With the Flyers due to receive a penalty in their own end, Savard got the puck at the right circle and slapped it past goalie Brian Boucher and under the crossbar. Savard was injured on a blindside hit from Matt Cooke on March 7 and hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played since. Tuukka Rask stopped 32 shots for Boston, and Miroslav Satan and Patrice Bergeron each had a goal and an assist. Boucher stopped 41 shots, and Mike Richards had a goal and two assists for the Flyers. Dennis Wideman had three assists for Boston, which took a 2-0 lead in the first 13 minutes and still led 4-2 with under 8 minutes left. Richards cut the deficit to one goal with 7:23 to play, then Danny Briere outmuscled two defenders to go in alone on Rask and tie it with 3:22 left. Boston had several good chances early in the overtime, and Philadelphia had one with 15:33 left when Rask stopped Daniel Carcillo on a breakaway. The game was a rematch

of the New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Winter Classic, and a rare second-round matchup of two teams that needed to win on the final weekend just to reach the playoffs. Boston beat the thirdseeded Buffalo Sabres in the first round in six games, and Philadelphia upset the second-seeded New Jersey Devils in five. When the top-seeded Washington Capitals lost their first-round series to Montreal, that left sixthseeded Boston with homeice advantage in the conference semis against seventh-seeded Philadelphia. Boston and Philadelphia hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t met in the playoffs since 1978, when the Big Bad Bruins beat the Broad Street Bullies

in the second round for the second straight year. Neither team has won the Cup since the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s. One of them will reach the conference finals. The Flyers never led in the game, but they never let it get away from them, either. They fell behind 2-0 in the first on goals from Steve Begin and Bergeron. Ryan Parent scored for Philadelphia to cut the deficit to one goal in the second and, after Satan made it 3-1 for Boston, Chris Pronger made it a one-goal game with 4:12 left in the period. Richards scored a power-play goal to make it 4-3 a few seconds after Rask was knocked down in the crease by Scott Hartnell.

Edwards followed his Pro Stock win at Las Vegas by driving his Pontiac GXP to a 6.640 at 207.82, while Arana rode his Buell to the top of the field in Pro Stock Motorcycle.

Lakers knock out Thunder on Gasolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tip-in OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A series that was all about Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant ended up being decided by the superstar who got lost in the shuffle. Pau Gasol swooped in to tip in Bryantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s missed jumper with a half-sec-

ond left and the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers survived a late comeback effort by Oklahoma City to eliminate the Thunder 95-94 in Game 6 of the first-round playoff series late Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pau didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quit on the

play,â&#x20AC;? said Bryant, who finished with 32 points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, he saved the game for us.â&#x20AC;? The top-seeded Lakers face a quick turnaround before facing fifth-seeded Utah in Game 1 of the second round today at home.

Nadia Moffett of High Point hopes to follow Wilmington’s Kristen Dalton as the second North Carolinian in a row to be crowned Miss USA.

Praying for reign Nadia Moffett heads to Miss USA Pageant with confidence BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

IGH POINT – Nadia Moffett is a woman of many hats, but for the next two weeks, the one that matters most is the one that’s shaped like a crown. Moffett, a 24-year-old High Point woman – and the reigning Miss North Carolina USA – left Friday for Las Vegas, where she will compete in the 2010 Miss USA Pageant, taking place on May 16. She hopes to receive the crown from the current Miss USA, Kristen Dalton, who also represented North Carolina. “You never know what’s going to happen, because I’ve never had this experience before,” said Moffett, a team manager for American Express in Greensboro. “Some of the previous queens have given me advice, but at the end of the day, I have to be confident in myself. I have to know I’ve done everything that’s in my control, and then just leave the rest up to God. I’m going to give it my all, and if it’s meant to happen, it’ll happen. And I want it to happen – I really do. It’s lifealtering, you know?” Moffett’s life has already

been altered since November, when she was crowned Miss North Carolina USA. Ironically, though, unlike many pageant winners, Moffett doesn’t have a wealth of pageant experience. “I’m a little bit outside the box,” she said during a telephone

’We saw a need for positive role models for young women. Our mission is to inspire young women to reach their full potential in life.’ Nadia Moffett Co-founder, Make Me A Queen Foundation interview before leaving for Las Vegas. “I never competed in pageants growing up. I did my first one in college, the Miss Black and Gold Pageant, and I won that one.” She didn’t compete in any more pageants, though, until last year, when she entered – and won – the Miss North Carolina

USA Pageant. That’s kept her very busy the past few months, attending events all over the state. As mentioned, though, Moffett is a woman of many hats. One of her pet projects is the Make Me A Queen Foundation, which she and her best friend, Nicole Lowery, founded two years ago. “It has nothing to do with pageantry,” Moffett said, explaining that the two young women established the foundation before she became Miss North Carolina USA. “We saw a need for positive role models for young women. Our mission is to inspire young women to reach their full potential in life.” Through the program, teenage girls are taught the six characteristics that constitute a powerful woman, or a “queen”: beauty, character, talent, confidence, accountability and vision. “We’ve tried to create interactive, fun, impressionable experiences that are not necessarily designed to change their lives, but to plant a seed,” Moffett said. “Like I said, we started this before I was crowned, but being crowned Miss North Carolina USA has given me a vessel to

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

expand this program throughout North Carolina.” Moffett is also a passionate advocate for breast and ovarian cancer research. Recently, she teamed with the local affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure to launch a new initiative called The Circle of Promise, which focuses on the problem of breast cancer among African-American women. “I got involved with this because there’s a huge difference in the fatality rate between African-American women with breast cancer and Caucasian women with breast cancer,” Moffett said. Moffett comes from a multicultural family, which she says has broadened her as a person by teaching her to embrace diversity. “I think being from such a diverse background made me aware of so many different things and so many issues,” she said. “It has helped me as Miss North Carolina, because I’m able to relate to a lot of different people from a lot of different backgrounds. I can relate to all walks of life.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

HOROSCOPE

---

Sunday, May 2, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Lily Allen, 25; David Beckham, 35; Dwayne Johnson, 38; Christine Baranski, 58 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You can make headway this year if you put your time, effort and know-how into contracts, deals and investment opportunities. This can be a lucrative year if you take a different approach to an old goal or reunite with someone from your past. Your intuition will not lead you astray but someone who doesn’t have your best interests at heart may. Your numbers are 1, 8, 16, 24, 29, 31, 45 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t isolate yourself because you are so intent on being first. Spending more time on looking your best and flirting and socializing will be a much better way to spend your day and improve your life. ★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Experience is the spice of life and, right now, you need something inspirational to happen. Different cultures, lifestyles and traditions will help you revisit your own beliefs and decide what and whom you want to keep in your life. ★★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t be afraid to make some financial changes. You will have insight and can make a decision that brings you profits in the future. A property investment will bring you a sense of security and stability. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Prepare your work for the upcoming week – it can make all the difference. An interesting proposal can be yours if you are willing to diversify. Adapting to change will put you in the lead. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t take a chance or say something that might offend another. Watch and observe instead of being the center of attention. A friendship with someone who needs your help will be uplifting and will help spin you in a practical direction. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A new friendship will develop from an activity or event that brings you in touch with like-minded people. Enlightening talks will make you question what you want to do with the rest of your life. ★★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): An acquaintance will realize your potential. Present your ideas, along with a budget, and you will entice someone to take part in your plans. Don’t allow someone who is close to you to stand in your way. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Networking with people striving to reach similar goals will reveal valuable information, helping you jumpstart your plans. Invest in your talent. You have lots to offer and often sell yourself short. ★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Make your move but not at the expense of a friendship or partnership. Change is required if you want to make things better. Be aboveboard and honest about your intentions. A concern about your financial situation will be raised. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Emotional matters must be dealt with immediately. Deception about someone from your past will lead you in the wrong direction. Find out firsthand before you make a decision that will be difficult to reverse. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t get involved in something you don’t want to participate in because someone else wants you to. You can make extra money if you offer a service you feel comfortable doing. Avoid taking part in a joint financial venture – it will lead to a tight and uncompromising spot. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t take too long to dwell over the ins and outs of something that needs to be done. Give whatever is required of you. Your sincerity and compassionate nature will help you help others. The potential to meet someone important to you through an organization you join is likely. ★★★★

ear Abby: I have been married to “Ted” for many years. He is a people person with close friends of both sexes. I have never had a problem with his having female friends because I trust him, and because these women are my friends, too. Recently, however, a woman I’ll call “Ellie” has become infatuated with my husband. At least I think she has, and I need an unbiased perspective. Ted has a separate email account and he has shown me some of her messages. She calls him “Dearest” and says things like, “You are amazing; you are inspirational; you are my special friend; and you rascal, you.” He either doesn’t reply or is very careful how he does. Abby, I sense that Ellie is trying to establish a separate relationship with Ted. He and I have discussed it. He thinks it’s funny and we have joked about it, but we’re both becoming uncomfortable around her. We have mutual friends we see once a month for dinner. We’d have to explain to them why we want to cut off contact with Ellie. They may understand because Ellie’s flirting has been escalating at these dinners. Am I being paranoid? – Wondering in Washington Dear Wondering: If you and Ted have both become uncom-

fortable because of Ellie’s advances, you’re not paranoid. Yes, you can withdraw from the dinners so you have less exposure to Ellie. But ADVICE there is another way to handle it. Dear Your husband can Abby inform the woman ■■■ that her attentions are making him uncomfortable and, if she wants to communicate via e-mail, she do it using your joint account – and block her from his private one.

Dear Abby: My husband, “Gerald,” and I have been married since the ’70s, and in all that time we have never taken a trip or shared a vacation by ourselves. He makes the plans (even asking me where I’d like to go), but we always end up visiting one of his relatives or friends instead. And I end up doing the same things there I do at home – cooking meals, cleaning, doing dishes and laundry – while Gerald sits and enjoys himself. The last time I mentioned that we have never been anywhere by ourselves, he seemed to really consider it. The next day he said, “OK, let’s take a cruise.” Then he

said, “I’ll call my brother and see if he and his wife want to come with us!” Am I wrong in feeling upset that my husband doesn’t care enough to go anywhere with just me or to a place that I want to visit? – Needs A Vacation

Dear Needs: Not in my book. It appears that your husband doesn’t consider one-on-one time with you to be special, and that IS upsetting. When he suggested inviting his brother and sisterin-law along on the cruise, I hope you responded with a resounding “No!” But if you didn’t, I’m recommending that for your next vacation, YOU make the reservations and plan the destination. After 40 years, you deserve a holiday you can enjoy. Dear Abby: I have a short question I need an answer to. How do we know when it’s time to end a relationship and move on? – Kiki In Texas Dear Kiki: The short answer is when it brings you more pain than pleasure. The longer answer is, when you make a list of the pros and cons in the relationship, and the cons outnumber the pros. WRITE DEAR ABBY at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Breast Enlargement Now Less Painful and A Great Time of Year To Do It Breast augmentation has, again, become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. The silicon gel breast implant “ﬁasco” has faded (where it belongs,) and besides, we use saline implants most of the time anyway. Let’s talk about breast enlargement. When I am seeing a patient thinking of enlarging her breasts, the biggest reason she hasn’t already had the operation is usually the fear of pain. Now, pain is always an important reason. But, we have a great gadget to help with pain. The ON-Q Pain pump has been a true blessing for many of the painful operations we do. For instance, if you are considering a tummy tuck, we use it here too. This pump is like blowing up a balloon, except we use numbing medications (like

lidocaine which a dentist might use to numb your teeth.) The numbing ﬂuid is slowly passed through a small tube that we insert next to your breast implant. The implant is bathed in the lidocaine for TWO DAYS. WOW! The worst of the pain occurs in the ﬁrst two days, so you get help during the most painful time. We still give you narcotics, but narcotics sometime have side effects like nausea and constipation that obviously are less if you need less, and use less. Fantastic. So, what are you waiting for? Bathing suit season is coming soon. Having your surgery now is a good idea. The reason is that we are probably going to place the implant under the pectoralis (chest-come on, you can learn some anatomy too)

muscle. The thing about putting implants there is that it takes time for the pectoralis to stretch out. We need this stretching over weeks to months to allow the implant to lower itself into a correct position behind your breast. OK, what’s your excuse now? We can help you with the pain, and NOW is a great time to have breast augmentation. Get the body balance you want. I tell my patients we are in the Happy Business. And it’s true. Our breast enlargement patients are some of our happiest! Virgil V. Willard, II, MD

Low platelet count can lead to bleeding

ear Dr. Donohue: My doctor found that I have a low platelet count. He says no treatment is needed right now. The whole thing perplexes me and makes me nervous. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand the significance of a low count and how it affects me. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel sick. I saw the doctor only for a routine exam, HEALTH and now I have Dr. Paul this Donohue hanging â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; over my head. Will you straighten it out for me? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; L.P. Platelets, also called thrombocytes (THROM-boh-sites), are the smallest blood cells. Their job is to stick to each other to form a clot when a blood vessel breaks. Every day, tiny vessels break without our knowing whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening, and platelets seal the break. The normal platelet count is 150,000 to 400,000. A count less than 150,000 is a low count. However, nothing bad happens until the count falls to less than 50,000. At that platelet number, having surgery could be an occasion of brisk bleeding. When the count falls below 10,000, serious bleeding from minimal trauma is possible. Your count must be nowhere near the danger zone, or the doctor would not have let you leave the office. Now your doctor has to find out if the drop in your platelets is only a transient thing, or if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that requires further investigation. Viral infections can lower the count for a short time. It rises after the illness is over. Deficiencies of vitamin B-12 and folate (one of the B vitamins) also can bring down the count. Sometimes, the immune system turns on platelets and destroys them. The causes are many. A few are serious and require immediate attention. Yours is not one of those situations. Since the doctor hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t given you any restrictions, you can do whatever you want, just as you did before you found out your count was low. The only thing you have to do is follow up with the doctor to see what is planned next for you. A low platelet count is also called thrombocytopenia (THROM-boh-SITE-uhPEA-knee-uh). Dear Dr. Donohue: What exactly is leukemia? Is it cancer? Does it happen only to children? Are there treatments? One of my children has a friend with it. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; B.H. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;leukâ&#x20AC;? of leukemia stands for â&#x20AC;&#x153;whiteâ&#x20AC;?; the â&#x20AC;&#x153;emia,â&#x20AC;? for â&#x20AC;&#x153;blood.â&#x20AC;? Leukemia is cancer of white blood cells. Leukemias happen at any age. Many kinds exist, and each has its own name and its own prognosis. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is a common leukemia of adults. It often requires no treatment for years and years. All leukemias are treatable, and many are curable.

Children thrive with love, discipline Q

uestion: If you had to choose between a very authoritarian style of parenting versus one that is permissive and lax, which would you prefer? Which is healthier for kids? Dr. Dobson: Both extremes leave their characteristic scars on children, and I would be hard-pressed to say which is more damaging. At the oppressive end of the continuum, a child suffers the humiliation of total domination. The atmosphere is icy and rigid, and he lives in constant fear. He is unable to make his own decisions, and his personality is squelched beneath the hobnailed boot of parental authority. Lasting characteristics of dependency, deep abiding anger and serious adolescent rebellion often result from this domination. But the opposite extreme is also damaging to kids. In the absence of adult leadership the child is her own master from her earliest babyhood. She thinks the world revolves around her heady empire, and she often has utter contempt and disrespect for those closest to her. Anarchy and chaos reign in her home. Her mother

is often the most frazzled and frustrated woman on her block. It would be worth the hardship and embarrassment she endures if FOCUS her passivity produced healthy, ON THE secure children. It FAMILY typically does not. The healthiest Dr. James approach to child Dobson rearing is found â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; in the safety of the middle ground between disciplinary extremes. I attempted to illustrate that reasonable parenting style on the cover of my first book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dare to Discipline,â&#x20AC;? which included a little diagram much like a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seesaw, with â&#x20AC;&#x153;loveâ&#x20AC;? on one end and â&#x20AC;&#x153;controlâ&#x20AC;? on the other and the fulcrum balancing the two. Children tend to thrive best in an environment where these two ingredients, love and control, are present in balanced proportions. When the scale tips in either direction, problems usually begin to develop at home. Unfortunately, parenting styles in a culture tend to sweep

back and forth like a pendulum from one extreme to the other. Question: My husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents are wonderful people, and we love them very much. They have always refrained from interfering in our family; that is, until our daughter was born. Now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re arguing with us about how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re raising her and undermining the things weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to teach. We want to base Amyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upbringing on biblical principles, but not being Christians, my in-laws donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really understand this. How can we deal with this situation without offending them? Dr. Dobson: It is time to have a loving but candid conversation with your in-laws about how your child will be raised. I would suggest that you take them to dinner some evening, during which this topic will be addressed. When the moment is right, tell them of your concerns. Make it clear that you love them and want them to enjoy their granddaughter. But the responsibility for how she is being managed must rest entirely with you and your husband. Remind them that they had their day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when the deci-

sions about child rearing were theirs alone. Spell out the issues that mean the most to you, including your desire to raise your daughter according to Christian principles. Try to help them understand your reasons, but recognize that their world view might make it impossible for them to agree. If that is the case, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to honor your wishes anyway. It is likely that sparks will fly during this conversation. If so, try to remain calm and stand your ground. If the worst occurs and the dinner ends in an emotional walkout, I suggest that you give your in-laws some space while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cooling off. When you do come back together, let love and respect continue to be your guides â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t back off on the issue at hand. You have the right to do what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing. Your in-laws are the ones who are out of line. But remember that Amy needs her grandparents, and your goal should be to harmonize your relationship. In most cases, that will occur in time. DR. DOBSON is founder and Chairman Emeritus of the nonprofit organization Focus on the Family, Colorado Springs, Colo. 80995 (www.focusonthefamily.org).

Consider how to treat cat with hypothyroidism

ear Dr. Fox: I have an 18-year-old tabby cat that has developed hypothyroidism. What do you suggest I feed her? Should she be taking supplements? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; J.K., Lake Worth, Fla. Dear J.K.: There are various treatments for your cat, from medication to radiation. These need to be considered in relation to your catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age and cost of treatment. If your cat only has mild signs of this all-toocommon feline endocrine disease, consider trying her on various supplements such as kelp, chlorella and spirulina and transition her, if possible, onto a no-cereal diet. High-cereal-content diets can disrupt normal carnivore metabolism and trigger abnormal endocrine gland responses, especially thyroidal and pancreatic. Give her catnip to nibble on and inhale (if she likes it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some cats donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t). It can have a brief, feel-good stimulating effect and then sedating effect not unlike valerian or Valium.

Dear Dr. Fox: A few months ago, you recommended pet owners hire a ANIMAL pet sitter to come DOCTOR into their homes as Dr. Michael an alternaFox tive for â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; boarding in a kennel. You recommended that people go to Craigslist. org to find a pet sitter. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually a much easier way to find safe, trustworthy and affordable care for pets and homes. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a pet sitter for about five years. I

am insured and bonded through Business Insurers of the Carolinas, sponsored by Pet Sitters International. PSI has many members all over the United States, all of whom are caring responsible pet lovers that work to provide the best possible care for peoplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pets. To find a professional, insured and bonded pet sitter, simply go to www.petsit.com, type in your ZIP code, and find all the pet sitters in your area that are currently members of PSI. Patti Moran is president of PSI, and you can contact her or her staff at PSI, 201 E. King St., King, NC 27021; phone: (336) 983-9222; fax: (336) 983-5266; or e-mail infopetsit.com.

I hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pass on this important information to your readers. Having a professional, insured and bonded pet sitter coming into your home to take care of your precious pets is a great option. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Z.M., King, N.C. Dear Z.M.: Thanks for this helpful informa-

tion. Some pet sitters have dubious credentials, even using relatives as references and having no insurance coverage. I urge active, animalloving retirees to get a new lease on life, provide a valuable community service, and generate extra income by becoming insured and bonded pet sitters.

Portsmouth holds centuries of naval history BY KELVIN K. CHAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

ORTSMOUTH, England â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A modern tower shaped like a sail, with a view of the sea, stands in tribute to the history of this famous port, where centuries of naval warfare can be experienced in a day trip from London, just 75 miles away. Portsmouth has been a naval station since Roman times. A narrow channel port and the Isle of Wight just offshore offer natural defensive advantages. Here Viking invaders were fought off, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first dry dock was built, and the D-Day invasion of Nazi-occupied France, just across the English Channel, was planned, changing the course of World War II. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visitors can tour ships in the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, visit a D-Day museum, follow the Millennium Trail along the waterfront, and take in the panoramic view from the observation deck of the Spinnaker Tower, which looks 23 miles out to sea. Other tourist attractions include Charles Dickensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; birthplace. The writer lived here for a few years as a young child after his father was transferred to Portsmouth by a Navy office. But the dockyard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; heaven for naval history buffs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is Portsmouthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest draw. Its centerpiece is HMS Victory, the vessel on which legendary naval commander Lord Nelson was killed in 1805 during the Battle of Trafalgar, in which the British fleet defeated a combined French and Spanish armada. Today, the Victory sits

HMS Victory is seen on display in the Historic Dockyard Complex in Portsmouth, England. Portsmouth has been a naval station since Roman times. sank in 1545 in a battle with French naval forces just off Portsmouth. The Mary Rose was one of the first warships built to carry heavy guns, which may have contributed to her demise. According to a popular theory about the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sinking, gun ports near the waterline were left open after firing and when the ship heeled over in heavy wind, water poured in. More than 400 people aboard were killed. The wreck was raised from the seabed in 1982 and conservationists have been working to restore the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hull along with 19,000 Tudor-era artifacts found with it. A new museum set to open in a few years will display 70 percent of the artifacts as well as the hull. The existing museum displays just 6 percent of the artifacts, but still offers

plenty to see â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including a fragment of a rigging line that still smells of the tar used to keep it waterproof 500 years ago. Below deck, visitors can explore the low-ceilinged quarters for regular sailors, the ornate quarters of the admiral and the galley with its giant stoves. Gundecks are crowded with massive cannons. After a morning at the dockyard, I was ready for lunch. A guard who

looked the picture of an old-fashioned sailor in a blue uniform, bushy white beard and cap adorned with military insignia directed me to the Britannia Fish Bar, just outside the gate. It was, he advised, where all the staff ate. I dined on fish and chips, then set off to explore the town. My lodestar was the Spinnaker Tower, a white 558foot tower in the shape of, and named after, the

sail. Rising above the centuries-old buildings surrounding the harbor, the tower, which opened in 2005, is a modern take on the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditions. The building also marks the start of the Millennium Promenade tourist walk; just look for the chain motif carved into the sidewalk. The motif is a reference to a chain that used to be stretched across the harbor to defend against potential attack.

Novel inspires new Frank Lloyd Wright tour SPRING GREEN, Wis. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A novel about Frank Lloyd Wrightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love life has inspired a new tour at Taliesin in southwest Wisconsin.

ADVICE 6E www.hpe.com SUNDAY, MAY 2, 2010 THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE

Several factors help determine when to get benefits SOCIAL SECURITY --Q

How should I decide when to start receiving my Social Security retirement benefits?

A. The decision regarding when to start receiving retirement benefits is highly personal and depends on a number of factors, such as your current cash needs, your health and family longevity, whether you plan to work in retirement, and the amount of your future Social Security benefit. You may start receiving benefits as early as age 62. However, if you start benefits early – before your “full retirement age” – your benefits are reduced for each month before your full retirement age. For help in making your decision, as well as all the

factors to consider, read our publication “When To Start Receiving Retirement Benefits” at www. socialsecurity.gov/ pubs/10147.html. Q. Will my retirement pension from my job reduce the amount of my Social Security benefit? A. If your pension is from work where you also paid Social Security taxes, it will not affect your Social Security benefit amount. However, a pension based on work that is not covered by Social Security (for example, some federal, state, local, or foreign

Bailout fallout AP

A large crowd lashes out at U.S. Rep. Gresham Barrett, R-S.C., as he speaks at the Bi-Lo Center on April 17 during a tea party protest.

Incumbents take heat for 2008 bank bill vote BY ANDREW DEMILLO ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Some of Congress’ staunchest conservatives voted two years ago to prop up the nation’s banking industry. At the time, they saw a threat to American business. Now the emergency is their own political survival. In dozens of races around the country, chal-

Opinion polls show a sharp decline in public support for the government’s role in stabilizing financial institutions. Public opinion soured amid reports of bonuses and high salaries paid to officials of bailed out institutions. lengers are hammering away at the bank bailout and deriding Republican lawmakers they claim spent billions to rescue Wall Street, not Main Street.

Rep. John Boozman of Arkansas is facing seven opponents for the Republican nomination for Senate. All are talking about his bailout vote, and one brings a blue plastic tarp to his events to symbolize the TARP, or Troubled Asset Relief Program. Three-term Sen. Robert Bennett, who won re-election handily in 2004, says he’s in the fight of his life in Utah. Four-term Rep. Gresham Barrett of South Carolina was booed at a political rally last April because of his bailout vote. The lawmakers are grappling to explain something that didn’t seem unusual for conservatives at the time. “I called businesses and banks in Utah, and I was told unanimously by Utah businesses and banks, ‘You have to vote for this or we will fail,”’ Bennett said. Even in politics, which is notorious for its mood swings, the change in perceptions about the economic rescue is striking. It is now part of the especially dark cloud hanging over many incumbents. And it shows the presence of the ultra-conservative tea party movement, which hasn’t proven yet it can help candidates but has shown it can hurt some. Though the bailout is an issue in Democratic races, it has become more damaging for Republicans, for whom government spending is more controversial. In March, the issue contributed to veteran Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison’s resounding defeat in the Republican gubernatorial primary in Texas, where Gov. Rick Perry dubbed her “Kay ‘Bailout’ Hutchison.” Opinion polls show a sharp decline in public support for the government’s role in stabilizing financial institutions. A

State Sen. Gilbert Baker, R-Conway, one of eight Republicans seeking their party’s nomination in the race for U.S. Senate, speaks near his “No Bailouts” campaign bus in Little Rock, Ark., Wednesday. survey conducted by the Pew Center for the People and the Press in February showed that only 40 percent of Americans now support the effort, and only 26 percent of Republicans. Among Republicans, “It’s come to be seen as a bailout of these firms, rather than a rescue package,” said Carroll Doherty, Pew Center associate director. Oddly, the perception has worsened as the program’s balance sheet has improved. The Treasury Department now estimates the government will earn a profit from dividends, interest, early repayments and other income. When President George W. Bush unveiled his $700 billion package in 2008 to buy bad mortgage debt to thaw lending, he portrayed it as “a pivotal moment for America’s economy.” A majority of Senate Republicans voted for the measure. A fragile bipartisan coalition passed it in the House. Public opinion soured amid reports of bonuses

and high salaries paid to officials of bailed out institutions. Now, in Arkansas, Boozman finds himself defending his vote at nearly every forum, saying that letting banks fail didn’t seem like a good conservative option. He said his concern for Arkansans was to “protect their savings and their jobs.” State Sen. Gilbert Baker, Boozman’s chief rival for the Republican Senate nomination, says Boozman’s explanations come too late. “He’s the only federal Republican official in the state, and he voted for the program.” Baker’s campaign has set up a bailoutsarebad.com website to press the point and he holds up a blue plastic tarp at stump speeches. Boozman is still considered the front-runner, but he acknowledged his rivals are exploiting the issue. The GOP’s presidential nominee in 2008, John McCain, is among the chief targets of the bailout attacks. In Utah, Bennett faces

seven challengers in his race. In 2004, he had no opponent in the primary. The conservative Club for Growth has spent more than $120,000 on television ads, mailings and a website opposing his reelection bid. Bennett says he’s trying to explain himself. “I find that if I can go through the details of the condition of the economy of the time,” along with the analysis of conservative economists, “that I can usually turn people around,” he said. In South Carolina, the booing at a rally last year was a stinging rebuke to Barrett as he runs for governor after a career as a reliable conservative vote in the House. Greenville political consultant Chip Felkel says Barrett appears to be weathering the criticism but adds, “If he has an Achilles heal in his campaign, it is that vote.” Associated Press writers Brock Vergakis and Joseph Freeman in Salt Lake City, Jim Davenport in Columbia, S.C., and Jonathan J. Cooper in Phoenix contributed to this report.

Desperate to curtail expected widespread losses this fall, President Barack Obama pleaded with supporters of his 2008 campaign Monday to help elect Democrats as his aides intensified their focus on re-energizing his broad coalition of backers. “I need your help once more,” the president said in an online video sent to millions of his supporters. “If you help us make sure that firsttime voters in 2008 make their voices heard again in November, then together we will deliver on the promise of change, and hope, and prosperity for generations to come.” The video announcement of what Democrats are calling “Vote 2010” is part of a multi-pronged effort by the Democratic National Committee to re-engage the legions of backers — including first-time voters, young people, blacks, Hispanics, and independents — who propelled Obama to victory in his groundbreaking campaign. That won’t be easy. Democrats who control the House and Senate face a tough political environment, partly because of the economic recession and continued joblessness. Obama’s party worries about losing the House, and possibly the Senate.

A plume of ash from the volcano under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier covers the farm of Pall Eggert Olafsson, in Thorvaldseyri, Iceland, on April 19. A reader-submitted question about the volcanic ash and global weather, is being answered as part of an Associated Press Q&A column called “Ask AP.”

Questions concern volcanoes and weather, underemployment THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The volcano in Iceland made a mess of air travel for several days, though air travel has returned to normal now. Is it likely to influence global weather in any way? Curiosity about the volcano’s impact 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. If you have your own news-related question that you’d like to see answered by an AP reporter or editor, send it to newsquestions@)ap. org, with “Ask AP” in the subject line. Please include your full name and hometown so they can be published with your question. You can also tweet your questions to AP, using the AskAP hashtag. Ask AP can also be found on AP Mobile, a multimedia news service available on Internetenabled cell phones. Go to http://www.apnews. com/ to learn more. Q. You answered a question that said unemployment was 24.9 percent at top of Great Depression. And now it is 9.7 percent (and was recently 10.1 percent). However, another estimate of unemployment is how many people have stopped looking for work, dropped off the rolls, work part-time and want to work full-time, etc., and that figure for today is around 16 or 17 percent. What would it have been in the ’30s? Greg Gibbs

Minneapolis A. Counting people who have given up looking for work and parttimers who would prefer to be working full-time, the so-called “underemployment” rate is now 16.9 percent. In October 2009, it hit 17.4 percent — the highest on records going back to 1994. The government didn’t calculate this figure back in the Great Depression. However, Lynn Reaser, chief economist at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego and president of the National Association for Business Economics, estimates that the so-called underemployment rate would have been 45 percent in 1933. That’s the year when the unemployment rate spiked to 24.9 percent. Jeannine Aversa AP Economics Writer Washington

the atmosphere to bring about such a cooling, nor injected it at high enough altitudes to make it hang around long enough. What’s more, material ejected from volcanoes at high latitudes like Iceland’s tends not to spread globally. And for the record, it’s not the ash itself that can affect climate. Rather, it’s sulfur dioxide that the volcano spits out. Malcolm Ritter AP Science Writer New York Q. I read in an AP story that Brittany Favre gave birth, making Brett Favre a grandfather. The writer goes on to say that the NFL knows of no current players who are also grandfathers. My question is: Is Brett Favre the first active player ever to become a grandfather? What about in Major League Baseball, where Satchel Paige and others played into their 50s? Tom Jeffs Edison, N.J. A. To the NFL’s knowledge, Favre is the first active player to become a grandfather. It is more common in baseball because so many players remain in the sport into their 40s. One famous example is Stan Musial, who became a grandfather in September 1963 at the age of 42, during his final season. In his first at-bat after his grandchild was born, Musial hit a home run. Rachel Cohen AP Sports Writer New York

Q. Is the volcanic ash in the atmosphere likely to affect global weather? Has the ash increased the Earth’s albedo significantly? Greg Robinson St. Paul, Minn. A. First, a definition: Earth’s albedo is its tendency to reflect sunlight back into space, which would have a cooling effect on climate. And the answer to both questions is, “No.” The Iceland volcano Have questions of simply hasn’t blown your own? Send them to enough material into newsquestions(at)ap.org.

Statue honors coaching legend BY BOB SUTTON MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

GIBSONVILLE – For Roy Dixon, the artist who designed the monument commissioned for Kay Yow’s grave in Gibsonville City Cemetery, it was more than just one assignment in a career that spans 26 years. “It’s not the biggest, but probably the most important because it’s Kay Yow,” Dixon said Tuesday after the 5-foot tablet

memorializing the late basketball coach and pioneer was placed. “This was an important woman, not just in basketball, but with what shedid(inthefightagainst) breast cancer. She’s probably the most influential person I’ve done.” Yow, a former North Carolina State and U.S. Olympic women’s basketball coach, died Jan. 24, 2009, after a prolonged and public battle with breast cancer. She was 66.

The memorial stone depicts Yow wearing a cross necklace, with an arm raised giving the Wolfpack symbol and the block “S” on one side. The other side is a poem (and it’s laid out in the form of a basketball hoop and net) that Yow wrote 30 years ago and read on a pre-recorded videotape at her emotional funeral in Cary. “The poem is who she was as a person,” said Ronnie Yow, Kay Yow’s brother.

Cheap, common pine straw scrutinized BY SADIA LATIFI MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS

CARY – Pine straw is a ubiquitous mulch in the Carolinas, both cheap and natural. In yards, it helps grow plants and keep unsightly weeds and termites at bay. But it also poses a fire hazard, some contend. That’s why Cary is ex-

amining its fire code. The town may restrict the use of pine straw within 10 feet of apartments, townhomes or condominiums. The discussion comes one month after a fire destroyed a half-dozen homes in a new North Raleigh neighborhood. Witnesses said the fire started in the grass and was further ignited by pine straw.

Cary fire officials are drafting a proposal to present to town leaders at a May 3 meeting. “We’re lucky we haven’t had anything as catastrophic as some of the recent fires in Chapel Hill, Raleigh or Apex,” Cary fire chief Allan Cain said. The town’s fire stations still confront pine strawrelated fires, however. Between 2006 and 2008, the town’s fire stations

received 15 calls about lit pine straw. Cain said the department was working on getting more recent numbers. The new rules would not apply to single-family homes. “It’s most important in situations where you have multifamily dwellings, where the actions of one person could affect the property and life of another,” Cain said.

Newbery winner Gaiman gives readers â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Instructionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BY JEFF BAENEN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

INNEAPOLIS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Winning the highest honor for childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s literature is changing Neil Gaimanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s image from cult favorite to celebrity author. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making him think twice before he Tweets. Before winning the John Newbery Medal in 2009 for his best-selling novel â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Graveyard Book,â&#x20AC;? Gaiman said readers had found him on their own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went from being something that was everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secret, private thing to being this huge kind of strange public thing,â&#x20AC;? Gaiman said. And his burgeoning fame means Gaiman has found he needs to be careful what he says on Twitter, where he has nearly 1.5 million followers. He once had to delete and apologize for a grumpy post after a friend told him it would look like bullying. Dressed in his daily uniform of black pants, black T-shirt and black boots, the British-born author of fantasy, science fiction, horror â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books such as

Best-selling author Neil Gaiman, 49, sits in his writing gazebo at his home in western Wisconsin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coralineâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; relaxes with a cup of tea in his writing gazebo on a balmy spring afternoon. Bees dance among the white plumtree blossoms outside Gaimanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s towering home in western Wisconsin, outside Minneapolis. While â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Graveyard Bookâ&#x20AC;? is set in a cemetery, where an orphaned boy is raised by ghosts after his family is murdered, Gaiman said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a book about life and leaving home. His latest book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instructions,â&#x20AC;? is a poem about how to survive a fairy tale. It has charming illustrations by Charles Vess and hit bookstores last week.

Gaiman and Vess first teamed up 20 years ago on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sandmanâ&#x20AC;? comic book series. Sandman No. 19, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Midsummer Nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream,â&#x20AC;? written by Gaiman and illustrated by Vess, won a World Fantasy Award in 1991, an unprecedented feat for a comic book. The two also collaborated on the novel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stardustâ&#x20AC;? and the 2009 childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blueberry Girl.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The better the writer youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with as an artist, the better your art will be,â&#x20AC;? Vess said from his studio in Abingdon, Va. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will pull things out of you as an artist you hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thought of before.â&#x20AC;?

George W. Bush book due out in November NEW YORK (AP) – The publisher of former President George W. Bush’s book “Decision Points” set a Nov. 9 release date, unveiled its cover design and announced new details about it. Bush has said he is not writing a traditional memoir but an account of key decisions in his life. The cover features a photo of then-President Bush alone with his thoughts, standing in the Rose Garden Colonnade, wearing a dark suit and holding a briefing book, his head turned slightly from the camera. According to Crown Publishers, “Decision Points” will offer “gripping, never-before-heard

detail” on such historic events as the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and the 2000 presidential election along with Bush’s decision to quit drinking, his relationship with his family and other personal details. “Since leaving the Oval Office, President Bush has given virtually no interviews or public speeches about his presidency,” Crown said in a statement. “Instead, he has spent almost every day writing ’Decision Points,’ a strikingly personal and candid account

revealing how and why he made the defining decisions in his consequential presidency and personal life.” A publishing industry source familiar with the book said that Bush had completed a first draft and was editing the manuscript on a computer at his office in Dallas. A former White House speech writer, Chris Michel, is helping with research. The source was unsure whether Bush had compared notes with his wife, Laura Bush, whose memoir comes out May 4. The source asked not to be identified because the book had not been released.

Monroe writings to be released NEW YORK (AP) – Musings about life, literature and other rarely seen writings by Marilyn Monroe will be published this fall. Farrar, Straus & Giroux announced last week that “Fragments” would come out in October. Editor Courtney Hodell said the book would include poems, photographs, reflections on third husband Arthur Miller and other men in Monroe’s life, and references to works by Samuel Beckett, James Joyce and numerous other authors. “I think the book will show that she was a really thoughtful person with a real interior life,” Hodell said. “She was a great reader and someone with real writing flair. There are fragments of poetry that are really quite beautiful, lines that stop you in your tracks.” The book features a long essay about Monroe’s first husband, James Dougherty; notes about acting and the roles

she was working on; lists of resolutions and a letter to acting coach Lee Strasberg. Monroe wrote on everything from spiral bound notebooks to stationery from the Waldorf Astoria. The writings date from 1943, when Monroe was a teenager, to near the end of her life. Monroe was found dead in her Los Angeles home in 1962 at age 36, her death ruled a probable suicide, although theories of murder have proliferated. Hodell said there were passages by Monroe that “make her seem suicidal,” but declined to say what years the passages were written. Hodell also declined to say whether Monroe referred to Joe DiMaggio, her second of three husbands, or President John F. Kennedy, with whom she was widely rumored to have had an affair. But Hodell did say that “there’s stuff about all of her relationships here.”

Study: Bad habits can age you by 12 years, study suggests CHICAGO (AP) – Four common bad habits combined – smoking, drinking too much, inactivity and poor diet – can age you by 12 years, sobering new research suggests. The findings are from a study that tracked nearly 5,000 British adults for 20 years, and they highlight yet another reason to adopt a healthier lifestyle. Overall, 314 people stud-

ied had all four unhealthy behaviors. Among them, 91 died during the study, or 29 percent. Among the 387 healthiest people with none of the four habits, only 32 died, or about 8 percent. The risky behaviors were: smoking tobacco; downing more than three alcoholic drinks per day for men and more than two daily for women; get-

ting less than two hours of physical activity per week; and eating fruits and vegetables fewer than three times daily. These habits combined substantially increased the risk of death and made people who engaged in them seem 12 years older than people in the healthiest group, said lead researcher Elisabeth Kvaavik of the University of Oslo.

Report: Most Americans still live in unclean air LOS ANGELES (AP) – Six in 10 Americans – about 175 million people – are living in places where air pollution often reaches dangerous levels, despite progress in reducing particle pollution, the American Lung Association said in a report released last week. The Los Angeles area had the nation’s worst ozone pollution. The report examined fine particulate matter over 24-hour periods and as a year-round average. Bakersfield, Calif., had the worst short-term particle pollution, and the Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale area of Arizona had the worst yearround particle pollution. The U.S. cities with the cleanest air were Fargo, N.D., Wahpeton, N.D., and Lincoln, Neb. The report is accurate but doesn’t show how far California has come, said Dimitri Stanich, a spokesman for the California Air Resources Board. “More than 45 percent of the days in the 1990 ozone season were considered very unhealthy (in the South Coast area). Today, 45 percent of the days are

clean, more than double the number of clean days during 1990.” “So while we are still not meeting the federal air quality standards, the concentrations that Californians are exposed to are coming down dramatically,” he said. In Arizona, Benjamin H. Grumbles, the state’s environmental quality director, issued a statement objecting to the methodology of the report highlighting the Phoenix area’s levels of particulates such as dust. “This finding came about because of one lonely air quality monitor near the cowtown area of western Pinal County, nearly 40 miles and across the mountains from downtown Phoenix,” he said. He also called the report, based on 200608 figures, outdated, saying pollution levels have improved since then. He said the state recognizes that the Phoenix area has significant air pollution problems, and “we’re making some progress on dust and ozone in the Phoenix area, but not enough and not as quickly as we’d like.”
