More election results. 2A, 8A, 1B support to Price. Grice, who defeated Roy Holman for the seat in 2006, won the primary that had received quite a bit of attention with Hege in the sheriff race. Hege resigned in 2004 after pleading guilty to two felony counts of obstruction of justice for attempting to cover up money missing from the vice and narcotics unit of the sheriff’s department. As part of his platform, Grice previously said he has not and will not use the “office of Davidson County sheriff to promote myself, sell merchandise, create reality TV shows, or participate in any other money-

making schemes.” Hege, as sheriff, starred in a role on a national reality television program on Court TV and didn’t rule out during his campaign starring in another television show. Grice will face off against Democrat Tommy Evans, who didn’t have any challengers for a primary, on the November ballot. Grice and Evans also may have a challenge from Thomasville Resident Don Swink, who says he has enough signatures to get on the November ballot as an unaffiliated candidate. Price and Hege will not have the opportunity to get on the ballot through the petition process because their names appeared on the ballot in the primary election, according to general statutes. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

The N.C. Department of Insurance offers these hints as to whether or not you’ll receive a refund from your automobile insurance agency: • If your insurance premiums significantly increased in the first half of 2009, you may be eligible for a refund. • If you were already receiving discounts on your policy, such as discounts for being a safe driver, you may not be eligible for a refund. • If you were already receiving lower than average rates before rates increased in January, 2009, you may not be eligible for a refund because you weren’t affected by high premiums.

with 18 percent of 4,500 ballots cast. Because three candidates filed, the primary was needed to eliminate one for the Nov. 2 ballot. The candidates agreed in their campaigns that school violence is a major problem. Hebert, an accountant and fiscal conservative, said he has more to do. “I am not finished,” Hebert said earlier. Hebert, who received 1,226 votes, said he has been successful in achieving more data and finan-

cial transparency, but the district still has a way to go in closing the student achievement gap. Price, who led with 2,465 ballots, also favors better cooperation between the city and the school board on sharing some facilities and more teacher assistants. Becker, who got 808 votes, wanted to use his engineering background to help supervise the district’s school construction and maintenance programs. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Insurance refunds coming to drivers BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Drivers worried about summer gas price spikes or oil spills on the Gulf Coast soon may find comfort in the form of a refund check. A dispute between the N.C. Department of Insurance and the N.C. Rate Bureau led to a settlement last year that will send refund checks to about 1 million drivers who were charged rates that later were appealed. A first wave of refunds will begin to be sent out this week. Drivers may or may not yet know

if they’ll be receiving a check, said Kristin Milam, spokesperson for the insurance department. “It depends on the level of communication they have with their insurance agent or company,” Milam said. “If somebody has a question about whether or not they’ll be receiving a check, they should contact their insurance agent. They’ll have a good idea at this point as to who will receive a refund.” Before the settlement denied a rate hike last year, insurers were

Barnes takes easy win in Guilford sheriff’s contest Democratic race too close to call BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Sheriff BJ Barnes turned back the challenge Tuesday of a Republican opponent who had a personal issue with him. On the Democratic side, no candidate was able to get the

40 percent of votes needed to declare a clear victory. The top two candidates could face each other in a June 22 runoff. Barnes, who campaigned to see the completion of a new downtown Greensboro jail, won easily as he garnered 90 percent of 18,000 votes cast in the race. With the help of voters who approved $115 million in bond financing in 2008, the project is under construction. “I am glad to be in the big dance again,” Barnes said. “I am humbled by the support I re-

Both candidates campaigned on trimming county spending where possible even when support for the arts and the High Point Market Authority are at stake.

Phillip Wadsworth, a retired state trooper, led in early counts with 32 percent of the votes cast, followed by C.B. Goins of Greensboro with 23 percent, Costner with 22 percent, and James Zimmerman Sr., a retired department civil process server, with 21 percent. Zimmerman ran for sheriff in 2006.

The Greensboro businessman said he made respect an issue because he is angered over the way he claims the department treated him in his 2009 arrest on charges of assault on a deputy serving civil papers and communicating threats. Jones denies the charges. The case is pending in court. Democratic candidates received more than 15,000 votes. Harlon E. Costner is the best known.

As part of his platform, Davis said his goals for the sheriff’s office were for more and better training, a renewed dedication to public service, reorganization and change, a new promotional process built on performance and adding a fulltime internal affairs investigator.

The insurance department argued in the settlement that the 9.4 percent rate was too high, which is why insurance companies were ordered to pay refunds. Whitley said he believes most firms won’t be affected too negatively by the refund process. “We’ve been through this before, and things went smoothly,” he said about past refund settlements. “I hope there is more of a positive effect now that everybody is trying to do the right thing.”

Two face drug charges after raid BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

RANDOLPH COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Two people face numerous drug-related charges after authorities in Randolph County raided a residence near Liberty. The Randolph County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office Vice & Narcotics Unit conducted a search of a Gold Field Road home on April 28 that led to the seizure of illegal drugs and alcohol, according to sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s officials. After executing a search warrant, officers seized approximately 186 grams of marijuana, 13 dosages

of methadone and various items of drug paraphernalia, deputies said. Officials did not disclose whether the suspected drugs were found in individual packets for possible sale or distribution, or in some other form. Deputies also found a small amount of non tax-paid liquor, which was seized because it was allegedly the product of bootlegging. A total of $1,260 found at the scene was confiscated as well. As a result of the raid, arrest warrants were drawn on two people who deputies said were residents of the home.

Warrants were drawn on Joshua Charles Kearns, 27, and Angela Dawn Roberts, 29, for the following charges: manufacturing marijuana, possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver marijuana, felony possession of marijuana, possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver a schedule II controlled substance, simple possession of a schedule II controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office.

Combining Cosmetic Breast and Abdominal Surgery It is very common for a woman to come to see me with concern about the appearance of her breasts and her abdomen. This typically occurs after she has had all of her children. God help us, we love our children, but the cosmetic toll that pregnancy brings can be signiďŹ cant! Similarly, a large weight loss can have a negative effect on our cosmetic appearance. The changes that occur in the breasts vary, but usually the skin stretches beyond what it can recover naturally. You then lose some volume as well. This gives you a double whammy for your breasts --- they are smaller and now droopy. Breast augmentation is the solution to the loss of volume. Breast enlargement is one of our most common cosmetic procedures. A breast lift might help with sagging. This is a fantastic operation. Raising the nipple and tightening the skin does wonders for the cosmetic look of breasts. Often we do both-- a lift, and an enlarge, at the same time, for a fantastic change in appearance.

Sometimes after pregnancy the breast will stay larger than before. If this becomes a problem, a breast reduction is the operation for you. The result is a shapelier, smaller breast with elevated nipples. The changes in the abdomen after pregnancy usually involve three things. Sometime there is more fat deposited there, the skin has stretched out (probably now with stretch marks showing,) and the abdominal muscles have been stretched apart. Liposuction is the cosmetic surgery solution to the fat deposits. This works great when done on the right person -- usually someone who has no excess skin. This means, if you have loose skin, liposuction alone will not be enough, and you need some of that excess skin removed. Here a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty is appropriate. We remove a football-shaped piece of skin and the fat below it -- from the pubic hair up to the belly button. Now all the stretch marks below the belly button are gone! At the same

time we can sew the stretched out muscles tighter. Voila, a more taut, ďŹ&#x201A;atter stomach. Combining procedures can be a great opportunity for you. We wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let you do too much at one time, but if it is safe, this saves you time and money. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less expensive to combine the procedures than to do them separately. Perhaps, even more beneďŹ cial, there is only ONE recovery. The single recovery may be a few days longer, but much shorter than having two separate operations from which to recover. So, what about pain? We have a pain pump that can bathe the surgical area with numbing medicine for days. This has truly been a blessing in treating the pain of breast enlargement and abdominoplasties. Do not let fear of pain keep you from learning about these procedures! So give us a call. If pregnancy or weight loss has wrought some changes, hey, you deserve to look the best you can! We can help.

Japan: Part of US base will stay on Okinawa TOKYO – Japan’s prime minister said for the first time Tuesday at least part of a key U.S. military base will remain on the southern island of Okinawa, a move that could reduce tension with Washington but dent his sinking popularity and raise the ire of island residents. A dispute over the relocation of Futenma Marine Corps airfield has become the focal point of U.S.-Japan ties since Yukio Hatoyama took office last September promising to move the base off Okinawa.

Ash may keep choking Europe’s air travel DUBLIN – Iceland’s clouds of volcanic ash are menacing European air traffic again, but transport chiefs insisted Tuesday they are learning from last month’s crisis and won’t let the hard-to-measure emissions ground their continent again. Rising volcanic activity spurred aviation authorities in Ireland, northwest Scotland and the Faeroe Islands to shut down services Tuesday after a twoweek hiatus. Their airports reopened several hours later, once the densest ash clouds had passed over their airports and back over the Atlantic.

Thai protesters welcome government’s offer BANGKOK – Protest leaders said they agreed in principle Tuesday with a government-proposed compromise to end Thailand’s deadly political crisis, but refused to leave their camp in Bangkok’s streets until details can be worked out. Pressure on both sides to end the 8-week-old stalemate has grown in recent days, with the government fending off calls for a crackdown on the paralyzing protest and the anti-government “Red Shirts” attempting to recover from a public relations debacle caused by their raid of a hospital.

Kim to meet Chinese leaders on rare visit BEIJING – North Korea’s reclusive leader Kim Jong Il was making his way Tuesday to China’s capital on a rare overseas trip meant to be so secret that Beijing refused to confirm it – despite videos shot by foreign media showing him leaving a Chinese hotel. Kim is expected to meet with President Hu Jintao and other top Chinese leaders just as South Korea inches closer to blaming the North for the recent sinking of a navy ship that killed 46 sailors.

Shell spilled near 14,000 tons of oil in Nigeria LAGOS, Nigeria – Royal Dutch Shell PLC spilled nearly 14,000 tons of crude oil into the creeks of the Niger Delta last year, the company said Tuesday, blaming thieves and militants for the damage. The amount of oil spilled by Shell’s Nigerian subsidiary was more than double what poured into the delta in 2008, and quadruple what was spilled in 2007 – highlighting the worsening situation the oil major faces in Nigeria.

Noriega’s lawyers complain to Red Cross PARIS – French lawyers for former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega sent a letter to the International Committee of the Red Cross on Tuesday to protest his lack of prisoner-of-war status in France and complain about his prison conditions. Lawyers for Noriega have been pressing for his release since he was extradited from the U.S. last week to face charges of laundering drug money. The former strongman is being held in La Sante prison in southern Paris.

al Alliance leaves them just four parliamentary seats shy of a ruling majority. The union could cement Shiite domination of Iraq’s government and further alienate minority Sunnis who lost their positions with the fall of Saddam Hussein in the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. Such an outcome threatens to stir further violence at an especially fragile moment as American troops prepare to withdrawal.

Times Square bomb suspect charged with terrorism

A man identified as Faisal Shahzad was arrested at a New York airport Monday.

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Pakistani-born U.S. citizen was charged Tuesday with terrorism and attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction in the botched Times Square bombing. The government said he confessed to receiving explosives training in Pakistan. Faisal Shahzad â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the son of an air force officer in a wealthy Pakistani family â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was arrested Mon-

day night and pulled off a plane that was about to fly to the Middle East. According to the complaint, Shahzad confessed to buying an SUV, rigging it with a homemade bomb and driving it Saturday night into Times Square, where he tried to detonate it. In Pakistan, intelligence officials said several people had been detained in connection with the Times Square case. But a law en-

forcement official briefed on the investigation told The Associated Press the FBI is not aware of any arrests in Pakistan related to the case. Shahzad admitted to receiving bomb-making training in Waziristan, the lawless tribal region where the Pakistani Taliban operates with near impunity, but there is no mention of al-Qaida in the complaint filed in Manhattan federal court.

The complaint said he returned from Pakistan in February, telling an immigration agent that he had been visiting his parents for five months and had left his wife behind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Based on what we know so far, it is clear that this was a terrorist plot aimed at murdering Americans in one of the busiest places in our country,â&#x20AC;? Attorney General Eric Holder said in Washington. Shahzad was on board

a Dubai-bound flight that was taxiing away from the gate at Kennedy Airport late Monday when the plane was turned around and federal authorities took him into custody, law enforcement officials said. Federal officials had placed him on a â&#x20AC;&#x153;no-flyâ&#x20AC;? list hours before his arrest. Holder said Shahzad was talking to investigators, providing them with valuable information.

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An executive with BP PLC is saying that the company has announced $25 million grants for four Gulf coast states affected by the oil spill. BP Chief Operating Office Doug Suttles said Tuesday that he hopes the grants will help Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida cut through red tape to get money to communities and people impacted by the spill. Suttles also said there have been more than 10,000 volunteers and about 3,500 have been trained to help with the cleanup. He says they are offering to pay the volunteers but some have refused the money. Officials have received more than 1,000 applications for boats to join in

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

This administration doesn’t care about the people Isn’t it amazing how the Democrats and this administration come up with sound bites to degrade and intimidate those who do not agree with their form of government? We now have a new phrase, “Words Matter.” Obama’s predecessor Bill Clinton supported him stating “Yes, words do matter.” Bill should know. Remember the Lewinsky investigation, “It depends on what is, is.” Absolutely, words do matter. However, Obama, his czars and appointees should be more concerned with words in our Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Holy Bible and quit trying to change them to fit their leadership. Words on the Tea Partiers’ signs are expressions of frustration, disappointment and righteous anger about our rights being trampled on, our out of control debt, our Constitution being trashed and our country becoming a haven for terrorists. It seems we the people no longer matter to this administration, our voices are being stilled, we are ridiculed by a president who jokes about us on TV, our country is being threatened, and we are no longer respected internationally. Barack Hussein Obama bows to leaders of countries who are not our friends, assures our enemies we will not fight back if attacked and recently insulted America’s friend Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. We must stop the runaway spending, stop illegal entry into the United States, kick out the UN and let our enemies, such as Iran, know we do not negotiate with terrorist countries. A nation says

safe only through strength, not weakness. Yes, words do matter. I hope the momentum of the Tea Parties will stay strong, and the American people will stand up to Barack, Harry and Nancy.

Driving and talking on your cell phone don’t mix I am responding to the comment of Dave Cecil, “The ones who make our laws are the ones who are primarily responsible for the lives lost by foolish people,” in his letter April 22. Cecil incorrectly places the blame of foolish people on government. The lady he describes as talking on the cell phone while driving and endangering her child is the responsible person! Just because an action is not against the law doesn’t mean that a person should do it! Unfortunately, that’s why everyone must drive defensively and take care of themselves while driving on our streets and highways. Drivers should always remember to: 1. Make sure everyone in their car is buckled-up. 2. Watch what other vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians are doing around you as you drive. 3. Wait a moment before leaving

a stoplight to ensure other drivers are heeding the signal. 4. Let off the gas and slow down if there are people near the road as you approach (like a brokendown car or a pedestrian on the side of the road).

Is President Obama hiding something from us? I have a couple of observations and a question. Lew Alcindor chose a Muslim name after converting to Islam and became Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Cassius Clay chose a Muslim name after converting to Islam and became Mohammed Ali. Robert Earl Moore chose a Muslim name after converting to Islam and became Ahmad Rashad. So why did Barry Soetoro change his name to Barack Hussein Obama? If Obama is who and what he is, then why has he not chosen and attended a local church since being elected? His claim of being a disruption will not fly in my eyes. If he is hiding this, what else could he be hiding? MIKE ROBERTSON Trinity

With this being Children’s Mental Health Awareness Month, The Guilford Center Children’s Mental Health Collaborative is sponsoring a Resource Fair at the Department of Social Services in Greeensboro 1-6 p.m. on Friday. Why is such a program needed? As a direct care worker for a local mental health agency, the time has arrived for all providers to become more aware of what services are available for the children and adolescents that are presently receiving mental health services. With the state continuously creating much needed changes in the clinical services provided to this population, we that have the responsibility of rendering services must do so with a collaborative effort. There are many issues that affect the success of our children and adolescents and we must educate each other on how we should properly address these issues, as a means to assure that no child is left behind.

Community shares grief after deaths t was a coincident that Julie Fox’s slot for her rotating Teen View column (opposite this on the Commentary page) came today, just five days after an accident took the lives of two of her classmates at High Point Christian Academy. But Fox clearly describes the pain and the grief that fellow students and faculty at HPCA are sharing just now along with the families and friends of Justin Simmons and Jacob Nance. As in any tragedy that strikes young lives, there’s a sorrow shared by the entire community. Our thoughts and prayers for the healing touch of God to ease the hurting go out to the families and friends. And just as in any tragedy that strikes young lives, there’s the question, “Why?” HPCA junior Ethan Moore said students understand “that God has a plan for this. There’s something to learn from this.” Surely, the classmates and friends of Justin and Jacob will find the search for that plan a tough process and come to realize that the “something to learn” will be painful lessons. But what these young people gain from this hurtful experience will be invaluable as they go forward with their lives, and as they carry the memories of their two friends and classmates with them forever.

BP had better be prepared to pay for this cleanup

’ve been monitoring the cleanup efforts by oil giant British Petroleum (BP) and their inability to cap a gaping hole in the ocean’s floor that’s oozing thousands of barrels of black gold per day. I have to say I’m perplexed that a billion-dollar corporation, which has specialized in underwater oil extraction since the process was created, can’t seem to solve this crisis. I’m no engineer, but these guys are. So what’s the problem? In applying with the Department of Energy and EPA to open the mega-platform years ago, BP told regulators they weren’t worried about potential environmental damage to the coastline’s industries if a spill ever occurred because the rig sat nearly 45 miles offshore, presumably allowing BP plenty of time to eradicate any damage prior to landfall. And yet, here we sit today, a modern-day Exxon Valdez in one of our nation’s largest and busiest commercial ports. And after 12 days, oil continues to spew, polluting the coastline and threatening fishing and other commercial enterprises. Gulf area workers and residents are growing restless. What’s more unsettling than the spill itself is the fact that BP can’t seem to plug the hole. Our government is also growing restless. President Obama traveled to Louisiana this week to vent his own frustrations, and I appreciated his tough talk. “BP is responsible for this leak. BP will be paying this bill,” Obama said. On behalf of all Americans, let me echo that sentiment. In fact, as far as the feds are concerned, BP

should now stand for “Better Pay!” That’s why I was worried when, in the same speech, Obama stated, “Your government will do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to stop this crisis.” Uhh, just what exactly does OPINION that mean, Mr. President? I realize your administration Armstrong believes government can play Williams a role in every facet of our lives, but when it comes to this situation, don’t you dare let BP off the hook. Besides the fact that our country is flat broke, not one American believes one tax dollar should be spent helping a British oil company, I don’t care how many American jobs they create. This is their mess. Lean on them to speed up the process, but don’t give them any slack. And please, refuse the urge to tilt another government department toward any grand agenda. It’s national situations like these that average Americans fully understand and appreciate. We don’t need any new laws to gum up the works or any new bureaucracies to watch other bureaucratic agencies. Forget the chance to push a leftist philosophy and just play this one straight up the middle.

Memories of High Point Christian students remain

THREE VIEWS

---

don’t know how I’m writing this column; it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to write. Our school family at High Point Christian Academy has suffered the loss of two of our seniors, two of my longtime classmates. I was not there at school with everyone when it happened, but in Chapel Hill for All-State band. My band director, Mr. Padgett, had the unfortunate task of telling me the news during a rehearsal break. It was tough to go back to the music and difficult to focus on the conductor. I knew that no one would fault me for leaving and going home, but despite my shock and disbelief, I knew I needed to stay, if only for the diversion. Still, I found myself feeling guilty for having a good time when I knew that there were so many back home wracked with pain. There is no pleasure in writing this month about this, but I knew I couldn’t write about anything else. Last Friday, April 30, tragedy struck when four of our seniors were going to lunch off campus. This should have been a simple affair: Get in the car with your buddies, drive to Subway or Wendy’s, eat lunch, go back to school. But this time they didn’t make it back. You may have heard about it on the news and seen a picture of the ruins of the car. Jacob Nance and Justin Simmons were ejected from Jacob’s SUV as it flipped four times. They died as a result of their injuries. Thankfully, Alex Murr and Ivan Soldo survived. The people in the other car, who were also HPCA seniors, along with the entire school family, will be forever impacted by this horrible event.

The school is in shock, and several prayer vigils have been held. AP exams have been rescheduled for the seniors and due dates for some assignments are being extended because our teachers are grieving as much as we TEEN VIEW are. Things are different; they feel surreal. GraduJulie ation is only three weeks Fox away, and hopefully we ■■■ will be able to enjoy this momentous season without it forever being linked to this sad ordeal. Somehow, we have to make it a good time; Justin and Jacob would have wanted that. I was not close to either of them, but having such a small senior class (around 50) means you still gain memories of everyone. In my November column about my experience at Habitat for Humanity, Justin was one of the guys who used a hammer to hang from the ceiling rafters. We went on many band trips and jazz band gigs together, and I could tell he was a funloving person. Jacob is unforgettable; he had a way of making class periods and trips memorable. I remember sitting at a table with him in a sixth-grade class and elbowing him to keep him from taking over the entire space. He made his presence known wherever he was. Neither of these guys will be forgotten but will have a permanent place in the class of 2010. Teen View columnist JULIE FOX is a senior at High Point Christian Academy.

Foxx, Jones, Burr, Coble win easily Shuler among winners THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx has advanced to the general election after beating Keith Gardnere, an Alexander County small business owner, in the Republican primary for North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5th District. In November, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take on Democrat Billy Kennedy of Watauga County. He faced no primary opposition. Democratic Rep. Bob Etheridge, seeking his 8th term, will face general election opponent Renee Ellmers, the Republican primary winner in North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2nd District. U.S. Rep. Walter Jones, with 77 percent of the vote, has advanced to the general election after turning back two fellow Republican opponents in North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3rd District primary. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seeking his ninth term. Johnny Rouse of Winterville is Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; only Democratic challenger in the 3rd District covering far eastern North Carolina.

North Carolina Rep. Heath Shuler has defeated his 11th District primary challenger and now awaits a Republican opponent for the November election. Six Republicans are vying to challenge Shuler. North Carolina Rep. Patrick McHenry has defeated his three Republican primary opponents as he seeks a fourth term in Congress and will face one of two Democrats vying for a spot on the November ballot. With half of precincts reporting, Jeff Gregory of Shelby and Anne N. Fischer of Morganton each had 50 percent of the vote. William Randall and Bernie Reeves GOP, advanced to the runoff for U.S. House, N.C. District 13, while William Lawson, GOP, was nominated in the 4th, Ashley Woolard, GOP, won nomination in the 1st, Jeff Gregory, Dem, was nominated in District 10, and Ilario Pantano, GOP, was nominated in District 7.

In North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6th Congressional District, Republican Rep. Howard Coble, who first won his seat in 1984, easily beat five opponents. And in the 8th District, first-term Democratic Rep. Larry Kissell was leading one challenger. Also, six Democrats were competing in the Democratic primary for the chance to challenge first-term GOP Sen. Richard Burr, whose public approval numbers in North Carolina are lower than expected. Still, Burr easily won his partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nomination. But the Democratic results were so close that a June 22 runoff is certain between Secretary of State Elaine Marshall and Cal Cunningham, a former state senator who was the favored choice of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Neither candidate achieved the 40 percent of the vote needed to avoid a two-person runoff. North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of the State Board of Elections projected turnout to be slightly above 2006 levels, when only 12 percent of voters cast a primary ballot. Former Sen. Dan Coats, the Washington establishmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favored Republican, won the GOP nomination in Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Senate race on Tuesday, beating back a challenge from one candidate supported by the tea party coalition and another who is an ex-congressman. Voters in North Carolina and Ohio

also made their choices in House and Senate primaries. In Indiana this fall, Coats â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who was recruited by the National Republican Senatorial Committee â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will face Democrat Brad Ellsworth, whose nomination is assured. The candidates are seeking the seat held by retiring Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh. Coats, 66, retired from the Senate in 1998, has worked as a lobbyist and was U.S. ambassador to Germany under President George W. Bush. He overcame spirited challenges from four, including state Sen. Marlin Stutzman, a tea party favorite, and former Rep. John Hostettler. Turnout was exceptionally light in Indiana, Ohio and North Carolina, a possible indication that the anger fueling voters across the country over economic woes, persistently high unemployment and Congress itself wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t translating into votes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and, perhaps, the limited influence of the conservatives and libertarians who make up the fledgling tea party coalition. In Ohio, Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher, a former Ohio attorney general backed by Democrats in Washington, grabbed an early comfortable lead over Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner. The two are battling for the Democratic nomination to fill the Senate seat of retiring Republican George Voinovich. The winner will face former Rep. Rob Portman, the budget director and trade representative under George W. Bush.

President Barack Obama interviewed federal judge Diane Wood of Chicago on Tuesday for an opening on the Supreme Court, the fourth candidate known to have had face-to-face talks with the president, a person familiar with the conversation told The Associated Press. Wood met with Obama in the Oval Office and also interviewed separately with Vice President Joe Biden. The source familiar with those sessions spoke on condition of anonymity to protect the privacy of Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deliberations. The president appears to be homing in on a decision. He has done sit-down interviews in recent days with at least three other finalists: Solicitor General Elena Kagan and federal appeals court judges Merrick Garland, District of Columbia, and Sidney Thomas, Montana.

Coble holds off challengers BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – U.S. Rep. Howard Coble, R-6th, didn’t miss a beat in his first primary challenge since the 13-term congressman captured the office 26 years ago. Coble, facing as many primary foes as any congressman in the state, comfortably won the Republican 6th District nomination against five fellow Republicans in the primary Tuesday. With 28 percent of precincts reporting, Coble had 11,937 votes or 63 percent. Guilford County Commissioner Billy Yow was closest with 3,225 votes, or 17 percent. Moore County physician James Taylor had 2,750 votes, or 15 percent, while High Point furniture showroom manager Cathy Brewer Hinson received 548 votes, or 3

percent, according to unofficial returns. Jeff Phillips of Greensboro gleaned 331 votes, or 2 percent, while Jon Mangin of Stokesdale, who bowed out of the race late last month but remained on the ballot, got 74 votes, less than 1 percent. Coble said Tuesday night he worked as diligently in this primary as he did in 1984, when he narrowly won the seat over Democrat Robin Britt in the general election, and in 1986, when he retained the seat by a razor-thin margin in a rematch against Britt. Coble said he wouldn’t have been surprised if he had been forced into a runoff because of the crowded field of primary challengers. “This was a demanding race,” he said. The congressman said he believes his extensive, conservative voting record and attention

to constituent service helped him overcome any sentiment against incumbents this year. Coble carried local counties, receiving 72 percent of the 6th District vote in Davidson County, 73 percent in Guilford County and 61 percent in Randolph County, according to partial, unofficial returns. Coble will face Democratic challenger Sam Turner of Salisbury in the Nov. 2 general election. Coble has won by comfortable to overwhelming margins in general elections against Democratic and Libertarian challengers for the past 20 years. The 6th Congressional District in the Piedmont has the highest concentration of registered Republican voters among the 13 congressional districts in the state.

Kepley, Hedrick win most votes BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Voters on Tuesday narrowed down the list of 16 candidates to eight for the Davidson County Board of Commissioners during the Republican and Democrat primaries. Four seats on the board of commissioners are up for grabs in November, with incumbents Don Truell, Sam Watford and Billy Joe Kepley up for re-election. Davidson County Board of Commissioners Chairman Max Walser, who also was up for reelection this year, chose not to run again. For the Democrats, Jason Hedrick, Ronald Swicegood, Kevin Williams and Jeff Switzer will be on the ballot in November. Hedrick was the top vote getter for Democrats with 24 percent or 3,392 votes. For the Republicans, Truell, Watford, and Kepley, as well as Todd Yates, will be on the ballot in November. Kepley was the top vote getter for Republicans with 16 percent or 8,183 votes. Davidson County Board of Elections Director Ruth Huneycutt said it didn’t appear late Tuesday night that there would be a need for a runoff in either commissioners’ race, though that still remained to be determined by local election officials this week.

Brandon pulls upset primary win BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Democrat Marcus Brandon pulled off a major upset Tuesday when he defeated four-term Rep. Earl Jones, D-Guilford, in the 60th State House District, while Republican John Faircloth appeared headed for a victory in a four-way race in the 61st State House District. Brandon, a political consultant who set up a campaign headquarters in High Point, won the Democratic primary convincingly against Jones, the chairman of the Guilford County legislative delegation and a former Greensboro City Councilman. Brandon received 1,569 votes, or 60 percent, to 1,062 votes for Jones, or 40 percent, in the Democraticleaning district. Brandon will take on Republican challenger Lonnie Wilson of High Point in the general election Nov. 2. “We took our mes-

sage to the people,” Brandon said, referring to thousands of homes he visited during the past year. Faircloth, a High Point City Councilman, appeared to win the open 61st House seat. The former High Point police chief had 1,774 votes, or 43 percent, and would need more than 40 percent to avoid a runoff against the second-place finisher. Paul Norcross of High Point received 1,048 votes, or 25 percent, while Georgia Nixon-Roney of Jamestown had 714 votes, or 17 percent. Gerald Grubb of High Point received 633, or 15 percent. No Democrat filed in the district. In the 28th State Senate District, Guilford County health agency nonprofit leader Gladys Robinson captured the Democratic nomination while Greensboro City Councilwoman Trudy Wade nabbed the Republican nomination.

Icon of French luxury dies at 72 PARIS (AP) – JeanLouis Dumas, who ran Hermes for almost three decades and was hailed as an emblem of French luxury, has died. He was 72. Credited with transforming Hermes from a mainly leather goods business to a luxury brand famous for its high-end scarves and leather bags, Dumas died Saturday after a long illness, a company spokeswoman said Monday. The great-great grandson of Thierry Hermes, who founded the com-

Soap opera matriarch dies at 91 NEW YORK (AP) – Actress Helen Wagner, who played mild-mannered Nancy Hughes on the CBS soap opera “As the World Turns” for more than a half-century and spoke its first words, has died at age 91. She died Saturday, said the show’s New Yorkbased production company, TeleNext Media Inc. Wagner opened “As the World Turns” when it premiered on April 2, 1956, with the words: “Good morning, dear.” She held the Guinness World Record for playing the same role on television for the longest amount of time, 54 years, TeleNext Media said. “All of us at ‘As the World Turns’ are deeply saddened by Helen’s passing,” executive producer Christopher Goutman said in a statement. “She is loved by generations of fans, and while we will miss her greatly Helen will always remain the heart and soul of ‘As the World Turns.”’

pany in 1837, Dumas ran Hermes from 1978 to 2006. French President Nicolas Sarkozy led the homage to Dumas, saying “his death is a great loss for France.” Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand called Dumas “an emblem of luxury a la francaise,” and a man of “inexhaustible and visionary imagination” who attracted artists such as fashion designer JeanPaul Gaultier, who reinvented Hermes women’s ready-to-wear collection.

THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE WEDNESDAY, MAY 5, 2010 www.hpe.com

WILMINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Wilmington businessman, whose company has an operation in north High Point, pleaded guilty Tuesday to violating three misdemeanor campaign donation laws when he funneled money to North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s governor and two state senators. New Hanover County District Court Judge John J. Carroll accepted the guilty plea from Rusty Carter, the owner of the Atlantic Corp. packaging company. Carter was fined $5,000 and sentenced to two years of unsupervised probation. The fine was paid to the New Hanover County Schools.

Carter was charged with making illegal campaign contributions to Gov. Beverly Perdue, Senate leader Marc Basnight and Sen. Julia Boseman. Atlantic Corp. has a location on Beechwood Drive in northernmost High Point adjacent to the Greensboro city limit. Dressed in a dark suit and Carolina blue tie, Carter did not speak during the hearing except to answer the judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s questions. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak to reporters after the hearing. The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board of Elections investigated Carter and his employees after he contacted them in March when questions were raised

about contributions to Perdue, Basnight and Boseman. According to Tom Old, an assistant district attorney in New Hanover County, more than a dozen employees at Carterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company contributed more than $175,000 to the three campaigns since 2003. Carterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyers said the employees were given a bonus knowing that some of it would be contributed to political campaigns. State law caps individual campaign contributions at $4,000 and businesses cannot contribute directly or indirectly to a candidate. Old said the campaigns were not aware of the violations when they accepted the contributions.

Judge: School districts need to shape up Officials from Guilford County testify about low-perfoming schools RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Superior Court judge warned three large urban school districts on Tuesday to clear the â&#x20AC;&#x153;deadwoodâ&#x20AC;? out of chronically bad schools, or face the possibility of greater state control. Judge Howard Manning told officials from Guilford, Forsyth and Durham counties that test scores show thousands of students in those districts are being badly served by their schools, with many reaching their teenage years barely able to read or do simple math. Together, the three districts have roughly 156,000 students in public schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not happy about is, with all the talk,

weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got all these little children who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read,â&#x20AC;? Manning said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to clean up the classroom. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deadwood that needs to go.â&#x20AC;? The officials spent much of the more than five-hour hearing trying to convince Manning that they already have strategic plans in place that will turn around the performance at schools where test scores show huge numbers of students arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meeting minimum state standards. But Manning was more interested in hearing about more severe remedies, including forcing out staff members at schools that regularly come in below state minimums on

test scores and other measures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are you going to do about the principals in these schools that are doing so terribly?â&#x20AC;? Manning asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How long are they going to get to stay?â&#x20AC;? Guilford County Superintendent of Schools Superintendent Maurice Green had an answer that Manning liked: Recently, every employee at chronically underperforming Oak Hill Elementary School in High Point was dismissed, although they can reapply for their jobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the staff have decided not to reapply,â&#x20AC;? Green said. Officials with the Forsyth and Durham county systems didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have examples as dramatic, but said that principals and teachers at failing schools have either been reassigned or encouraged to find work elsewhere.

Victim of herpes infection feels consumed by anger

ear Abby: I recently got genital herpes. I am very depressed over it and am experiencing a lot of difficulties, not to mention the expense. The man I caught the virus from, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jack,â&#x20AC;? claims he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know he had herpes. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to believe, except that I should be compensated. My life has been destroyed. I hate the fact that this happened and, to top it off, Jack has changed his phone number! Is this a criminal act? Should I take action? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Outraged in Missouri Dear Outraged: Please do not allow having herpes to define who you are. Your life has not been â&#x20AC;&#x153;destroyed.â&#x20AC;? You contracted a virus, as millions of other Americans have. While inconvenient, it is not the end of the world. What you need is emotional support, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as near as your computer. There are support groups for people who have herpes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just Google â&#x20AC;&#x153;herpes support groups-USAâ&#x20AC;? and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find groups galore. As to whether to take legal action against â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jack,â&#x20AC;? please remember that lawsuits can be expensive. And to determine whether he knew he had herpes at the time he was involved with you, you would have to get a hold of his medical records â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which could be complicated. Your time and money would be better spent in other

ways than looking backward, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I recommend. Dear Abby: I am 35 years Dear old and the Abby mother of â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; two children. The oldest is 4 and my little one just turned 1. My mother-in-law had gastric bypass surgery two years ago. She lost a lot of weight and looks great, having gone from a size 16 to a size 4. My problem is the comments she makes about my weight in the presence of others. For example, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you see that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is so big-boned and I am so petite?â&#x20AC;? It hurts, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to do about it. What can I say to her the next time she says something like that? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cateâ&#x20AC;? in Oklahoma City

ADVICE

Deare Cate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for your motherin-law to say something about your weight in front of others. Tell her clearly, in advance, that her comparisons are hurtful and you want them stopped immediately. And if she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comply, the next time she does it, smile and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can all see that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re petite and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll always be younger.â&#x20AC;? Dear Abby: Early this

year, my mother went to the curb to collect the empty trash bin and put it away for the week. As she wheeled it behind her home, she slipped on the ice and broke her hip. She lives alone and was in the back of her property where nobody could see or hear her. Fortunately, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d had the foresight to grab her cell phone before she went outside. Because she was unable to stand up she could have frozen to death. She called 911 and within minutes an ambulance arrived to take her to the hospital. Mom had surgery to repair the hip and is recovering, but it was a close call. This is a reminder to your readers that if they live alone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or have parents who do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to make sure to have a cell phone available at all times. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Relieved Son In Elkhart, Ind. Dear Relieved Son: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pleased to pass along your important message. Your mother did, indeed, have a close call. It must have been her guardian angel who handed her her cell phone as she left the house that wintry day. Please tell her I said so and that I hope sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better soon. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

UNC to stop using coal by 2020 CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill says the school will stop using coal in its power plant in the next 10 years. Chancellor Holden Thorp accepted all recommendations on Tuesday that he received last week from a task force studying energy issues. The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cogeneration facility will test co-firing coal with biomass later this spring. By May 2020, the school aims to end all coal use. In February, UNC students protested their schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s power plant as part of a campaign by the Sierra Club.

P. Shanahan went to work in the coal mine at Boissevain, Va., when he was 18 years old. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t his first job. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d farmed, worked in a defense plant making tent pins for the Army and even had a try at lumbering. But coal mining was his favorite job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make any money farming; lumbering paid only 35 cents per hour, and the defense plant pay was only 40 cents ABOVE per hour. AND Coal BEYOND mining paid a Patty Jo dollar an Sawvel hour and â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I was working for, money,â&#x20AC;? Shanahan said. Actually, the work suited him well. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind working deep underground, and his job was easier than most. Shanahan was assigned to lay track for the cutting machine. Similar to railroad track, with the longest pieces weighed 400 pounds. Other miners, though, had to load coal. Two men handloaded coal cars that held 4 tons and averaged 28 tons daily. Unlike the song, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sixteen Tons,â&#x20AC;? Shanahan did not get â&#x20AC;&#x153;another day older and deeper in debt.â&#x20AC;? To the contrary, he bought a 45-acre farm shortly after marrying his sweetheart, Ruth, in 1948. When their five children started coming along, they fed their family from the farm. And, just like the song says, there was a company store, but in Shanahanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion, the items cost more because the merchandise was higher quality. Even safety was not an issue with Shanahan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our mine was well ventilated, and we had good air most of the time. And, no boss ever asked us to do something that I felt was unsafe,â&#x20AC;? Shanahan said. Of course, there were the dangers. In fact, when Shanahan was 5, he looked down the hill and saw an explosion in this very mine that killed 38 men in 1932. Years later, he was just a few feet away when a workmate was crushed by a wall of falling coal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we pulled him out, I thought, That could have been me. But then I thought, It could be me anywhere. You can die no matter what you are doing,â&#x20AC;? Shanahan said. Shanahan worked in mining for 11 years until the United States started buying oil from Iran. Oil was cheaper and burned cleaner than coal, so the mine shut down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, I always liked working in the mines,â&#x20AC;? Shanahan said.

GARFIELD

Three treatment options for overactive thyroid

ear Dr. Donohue: It’s only taken a full year and a half and three doctors to finally diagnose me as having Graves’ disease. I’m glad to know what I have, but I am upset at how long it took to find out. At one point, I was told my symptoms were all in my head. Now that the diagnosis has been made, I am facing the prospect of deciding what the best treatment is. I would appreciate your opinion. – E.E.

BLONDIE

B.C.

Graves’ disease is a thyroid gland that has gone wild. The actual culprit is the immune system. It makes antibodies that stimulate the thyroid gland to overproduce thyroid hormone. Excessive thyroid hormone produces the myriad signs and symptoms of this illness. The heart beats fast even when a person is sitting quietly. People are warm and might sweat when others are quite comfortable. Weight loss in the face of increased calorie consumption indicates that all body processes are in overdrive. Menstrual periods become irregular. The hands might develop a trembling. Often the eyes bulge, because excessive thyroid hormone fills the eye sockets with a gooey material. The thyroid gland enlarges and becomes a goiter. In the days before effective treatments, the

death rate for Graves’ disease was between 10 percent and 30 percent. You have a pick of HEALTH three quite different Dr. Paul treatments. Donohue Your doctor ■■■ will help you make the choice based on your specific situation. Oral medicines can stop the overproduction of thyroid hormone. The two most commonly prescribed are Tapazole and PTU. The only drawback to oral medicines is that Graves’s disease can recur after the pills are stopped. Surgical removal of the gland is another option. That eradicates the problem. In North America, radioactive iodine is the treatment chosen most often. Iodine makes a beeline to the thyroid gland, and the radioactivity destroys it. After this treatment and after surgery, people have to take replacement thyroid for the rest of their lives. That entails taking only one tablet a day. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am 16. I have had menstrual periods for three years. I am very much in the dark about them. How long is normal for a period? How much blood is lost with each? I don’t have cramps or any kind

of pain. I hardly know I’m having one. I’ve never discussed this with anyone. – D.J. Three to six days of bleeding are normal for a period. Around 1 to 2 ounces (30 ml to 60 ml) of blood is lost. The first day of bleeding marks the first day of the menstrual cycle. A normal cycle is approximately 28 days, with a range of 24 to 35 days. In the first five to seven years of menstruation, cycles are not as regular as they eventually become. Don’t worry if yours are not exactly what I have outlined. Dear Dr. Donohue: When I visited my grandmother on my grandparents’ farm, she used to speak about blackstrap molasses all the time. I asked my mother about it, and she shuddered. My mother never gave it to us kids. I’ve been curious about it for a long time. Is it a remedy for anything? – C.A. Molasses comes from the syrupy residue left from processing sugar cane into table sugar. When that syrup is boiled once, it becomes molasses. When it is boiled three times, it’s blackstrap molasses. It has calcium, potassium, copper and iron. I don’t know if it’s a remedy or a preventive for anything. I’ve never tasted it. I don’t think I ever will.

State’s Lowe sets bar high O

n the way to the front doors of the Emerald Event Center, N.C. State coach Sidney Lowe stopped and shook the hands of Wolfpack faithful on Tuesday. On a day when State officially announced athletics director Lee Fowler will be gone at the end of June with three years left on his contract, Lowe rode the wave of good news on another front as he served as the featured celebrity at one of 22 stops where State coaches meet athletics SPORTS contributors from the Wolfpack Club. Greer Lowe came to Smith Greensboro just ■■■ hours after highlytouted and much-sought-after C.J. Leslie signed his national letter-of intent with the Wolfpack, putting the cherry on top of a three-man recruiting class rated as fifth-best in the country by Scout.com. Leslie, a 6-8, 190-pound wing from Holly Springs who played at Word of God in Raleigh, was rated as the No. 4 power forward by two recruiting services and was regarded as one of the top 14 players in the country. He was the best of the stellar class, which includes Ryan Harrow, a 5-11 guard who was the 5A player of the year in Georgia and ranked as high as the No. 19 player in the country, and Lorenzo Brown, a 6-4 guard from Georgia who originally signed with the Pack in 2008 but played last year at Hargrave Military Academy and is rated as high as the 29th-best prospect. “I know our fans have been waiting on a class like this to get this thing started,” Lowe said. “I’m excited that they are excited.

We stuck with them and they remembered that and they liked the recruiting process. And we were fortunate to get them.” The new recruits will join 12 of 14 players on last season’s squad, assuming last season’s leading scorer Tracy Smith returns instead of jumping to the NBA. The players not returning after exhausting their eligibility are forward Dennis Horner, the secondleading scorer last season, and reserve guard Farnold Degand. Because he envisions moving Smith from center to power forward to help get him ready for the NBA, Lowe thinks the lineup is in good shape except needing sophomores DeShawn Painter and Jordan Vandenberg to contribute more at center. “We’ll be solid at shooting AP FILE N.C.

Wolfpack’s Fowler steps down RALEIGH (AP) – N.C. State athletic director Lee Fowler is resigning next month, ending a 10-year run with the school. Fowler will step down June 30. In a release from Fowler the school, chancellor Randy Woodson said he spoke with Fowler on Monday and the two “agreed that now is the appropriate time to make a change.” Woodson will name an interim director before Fowler’s last day. N.C. State said it will honor Fowler’s contract, which expires Sept. 20, 2013, and pays him $280,000 per year. Fowler, 58, directed the drive to upgrade facilities throughout the 23-sport athletic department.

City police are considering whether officers should get involved when unruly but nonthreatening fans sprint onto the field during sporting events, a review begun after a teenager was subdued with a Taser at a Phillies game. A police officer used his stun gun Monday night on 17-year-old Steve Consalvi, who jumped onto the field and ran around in circles in the outfield. Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey examined video of the arrest and felt the officer acted within department guidelines, which allow officers to use Tasers to arrest fleeing suspects, said police spokesman Lt. Frank Vanore. The department’s internal affairs unit is investigating, Vanore said. The department is reviewing whether its officers should be on the field wrangling runaway fans who aren’t threatening anyone.

rior to Sunday, I wasn’t sure I knew the difference between Rory McIlroy and Roy McAvoy. McIlroy made sure I’ll never confuse those two again with an epic performance at the Quail Hollow Championship. While McAvoy was the colorful fictional character portrayed by Kevin Costner in the 1996 comedy “Tin Cup,” McIlroy proved he’s the real deal. Two days shy of his 21st birthday, the talented youngster from Northern Ireland

overcame a stellar array of challengers that included Phil Mickelson, Davis Love III, Angel Cabrera, Padraig Harrington and Anthony Kim to post his first career PGA Tour victory. I expect many, many more triumphs will follow. McIlroy made the cut on the number at Quail Hollow, then did a number on the field over the final 36 holes. He followed Saturday’s 66 with a courserecord 10-under-par 62 to finish at 15-under

273 for a four-stroke victory over Lefty. And McIlroy did it in style. He played his final five holes in 5 under par and posted six 3s over the final 18 holes. McIlroy has all the tools to remain a major force on the international stage for a long time. This young man figures to make quite a name for himself. Fact is, he already has.

SUNS TO WEAR â&#x20AC;&#x2122;LOS SUNSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; JERSEYS FOR GAME 2

---

PHOENIX (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Phoenix Suns will wear â&#x20AC;&#x153;Los Sunsâ&#x20AC;? on their jerseys in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals tonight, owner Robert Sarver said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to honor our Latino community and the diversity of our league, the state of Arizona, and our nation.â&#x20AC;? The decision to wear the jerseys on the Cinco de Mayo holiday stems from a law passed by the Arizona Legislature and signed by Gov. Jan Brewer that has drawn widespread criticism from Latino organizations and civil rights groups that say it could lead to racial profiling of Hispanics. President Barack Obama has called the law â&#x20AC;&#x153;misguided.â&#x20AC;? Sarver, who was born and raised in Tucson, said frustration with the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failure to deal with the illegal immigration issue led to the passage of what he called â&#x20AC;&#x153;a flawed state law.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;However intended, the result of passing the law is that our basic principles of equal rights and protection under the law are being called into question,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already struggling economy will suffer even further setbacks at a time when the state can ill-afford them.â&#x20AC;? The measure makes it a crime under state law to be in the country illegally, and it directs local police to question people about their immigration status and demand to see their documents if there is reason to suspect they are illegal. The controversy surrounding the law has led to picketing at some road games of baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arizona Diamondbacks and a call from the Rev. Jesse Jackson for major league baseball to move next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AllStar Game from Phoenix. Sarver came up with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Los Sunsâ&#x20AC;? jersey idea but left it up to the players for the final decision, Suns guard Steve Nash said, and all of them were for it. San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said his team was interested in taking part but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get new â&#x20AC;&#x153;Los Spursâ&#x20AC;? road jerseys in time for the game.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The NBA All-Star game will be played in Orlando in 2012 at the Magicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new arena. NBA commissioner David Stern made the announcement Tuesday at the Amway Center, which opens next season. This is the second time Orlando will host the game. Orlando also held the All-Star game in 1992, when Magic Johnson returned to basketball to win the Most Valuable Player award after his retirement and acknowledgment he was HIV positive. The new arena and the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return to prominence clearly worked in Orlandoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favor. The Magic returned to the NBA finals last year, losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in five games, and had the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-best record behind Cleveland this season.

Paxson apologizes for Del Negro altercation DEERFIELD, Ill. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Saying he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;not at all proud,â&#x20AC;? Chicago Bulls executive John Paxson apologized Tuesday to the organization and newly fired coach Vinny Del Negro for their lateseason altercation. Paxson Del Negro also made it clear: He plans to stick around. Speaking to reporters Tuesday for the first time since his confrontation with Del Negro in late March, Paxson said he accepts the criticism and â&#x20AC;&#x153;people saying I should probably be fired or released, whatever. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going anywhere because I believe in what the organization stands for and what I stand for.â&#x20AC;? He said he plans â&#x20AC;&#x153;on contributing to the Bullsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; organization for a lot of years.â&#x20AC;? Del Negroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time is up, however. General manager Gar Forman insisted the post-game altercation on March 30 played no part in the firing, that the Bulls simply needed a change â&#x20AC;&#x153;in order to take this team to another levelâ&#x20AC;? after Del Negro led them to 41-41 records and first-round playoff exits in each of his two seasons. Del Negro said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;gratefulâ&#x20AC;? to chairman Jerry Reinsdorf, the organization and his players while praising his assistants and the fans in a brief statement outside the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice facility. He did not address the dispute with Paxson, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive vice president for basketball operations, or take questions from reporters. Paxson, however, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not at all proud of how I handled the situation. I was wrong in how I handled it.â&#x20AC;?

Frustrated Woods aims to hit his stride AP

Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rasheed Wallace (30) dunks on Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Antawn Jamison in the fourth quarter of Game 2 of their second-round playoff series late Monday night. Wallace scored 17 points off the bench and the Celtics won 104-86 to even things at a game apiece.

Rondo, Celtics strike back, even series CLEVELAND (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; LeBron James better make sure his new MVP trophy isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t missing. The Boston Celtics stole everything else. Rajon Rondo tied a team playoff record with 19 assists, Ray Allen scored 22 points and the Celtics, playing with renewed confidence and looking very dangerous despite their years, opened a 25-point lead in the fourth and then survived Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comeback for a 104-86 victory on Monday night to even their semifinal series at 1-1. An underdog coming in, the Celtics left town with a split. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did everything we set out to do,â&#x20AC;? Allen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve talked all year about closing out games. When we do that, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty good.â&#x20AC;? After blowing an 11-point lead in the third quarter of Game 1, the Celtics almost squandered a much bigger one. They led 91-66 with 9:08 left before the Cavaliers, who have been outplayed in both games, scored 15 straight and pulled within 93-83 on Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basket with 3:13 left. Boston, though, closed with an 11-3 spurt and then packed up and headed

home for Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Game 3 thinking it can oust the Cavs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They believe,â&#x20AC;? Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Antawn Jamison said. James, who seemed to be favoring his injured right elbow, scored 24 and Jamison 16 for Cleveland, outscored 3112 in the third. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to continue to try to be the player I am and not use this elbow as an excuse,â&#x20AC;? James said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never use an injury as an excuse. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just two games. I understand the burden and the pain Cleveland fans have. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel pressure at all. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to Game 3.â&#x20AC;? The Celtics seemed in control with their 25-point bulge, but they got complacent and found themselves having to scramble down the stretch when they could have been resting their starters. Boston went nearly six minutes without scoring. Up 93-83, the Celtics finally regrouped. Rondo and Allen scored, then Kevin Garnett completed a three-point play to make it 100-84, allowing Rivers to relax after watching his club play inspired ball most of the way before letting up.

Nash, Suns finally beat Spurs in a Game 1 PHOENIX (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Finally, Phoenix has beaten San Antonio in a Game 1. Win three more, and maybe those images of playoffs past â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Steve Nashâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bloodied nose, Robert Horryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hip-check of Nash into the scoring table, Bruce Bowen kicking Nash in the groin, and Tim Duncanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one and only 3-point basket of the 2007-08 season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will fade into history. After resting his strained right hip for three days, Nash had 33 points and 10 assists, and the Suns fought off third- and fourth-quarter rallies Monday night to win 111-102 in the opener of their Western Conference semifinal series. Game 2 is tonight in Phoenix. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get too excited,â&#x20AC;? the Sunsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Amare Stoudemire said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a team with a great pedigree that knows

how to come back in a playoff series.â&#x20AC;? Any concern that Nash would be slowed by the injury was erased in a hurry. He made his five shots, including an array of twisting, swiveling drives to the hoop, and had 17 points when the first quarter ended. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He ran it down our throat,â&#x20AC;? Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. Jason Richardson scored 27 and Stoudemire had 23 points and 13 rebounds for the Suns. Manu Ginobili, tape across his broken nose, scored 27, Tony Parker 26 and Duncan 20 for the Spurs, who had won three straight Game 1s against the Suns, two of them in Phoenix. Both of those times, in 2005 and 2007, the Spurs went on to win the NBA title.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The 18th hole on the TPC Sawgrass is not nearly as daunting without wind, which was the case on a muggy Tuesday morning when Tiger Woods set up over the tee shot with a 3wood in hand. The ball never had a chance to stay dry. It started down the left side with a severe hook and splashed down some 20 yards to the left of the waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge. With a mild curse under his breath, Woods asked his caddie for another ball. It was his fifth ball in the water during nine holes of practice at The Players Championship. He lost two in the water on the front nine the day before. There have been flashes of brilliance, as always, but far more shots that hardly resemble golf from the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best player. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a matter of ... getting my mind where it needs to be,â&#x20AC;? Woods said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And certainly, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made a lot of adjustments in my life, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone through a lot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a lot. Just trying to make sure I get everything organized so I can play.â&#x20AC;? Woods is capable of making some form of history at just about any golf tournament, and The Players Championship is no exception. Only now, the question is whether Woods will miss the cut in consecutive tournaments for the first time in his career. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just miss the cut last week at Quail

Hollow, he missed it by a mile. With a 79 in the second round â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his second-highest score in his career â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Woods posted his highest 36-hole total (153) in 14 years on the PGA Tour. Two days of practice this week did little to change the notion that his game â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not to mention his head â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is not in a good spot. After three days of rampant speculation that he would ditch his swing coach, Woods said that nothing has changed with Hank Haney, who was not at Sawgrass. Haney rarely goes to tournaments outside the majors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still working with him, yeah,â&#x20AC;? Woods said. How did he tie for fourth at Augusta National in his first tournament in five months, then miss the cut by eight shots in his next start? Woods said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting better, perhaps because â&#x20AC;&#x153;it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any worse.â&#x20AC;? Physical or mental? â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of the above,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit the ball very good, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think myself around the golf course very well, and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t putt well, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t chip well. I teed up the ball well. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any balls fall off tees. It just kind of got worse from there.â&#x20AC;? The Players Stadium Course is not much of a tonic. While he won The Players Championship in 2001, this is the only tournament where Woods has finished out of the top 20 at least five times.

Panthers, Cowboys bow out of tennis playoffs ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORTS

TENNIS N. GUILFORD 5, LEDFORD 4 WALLBURG – Ledford’s valiant comeback fell two games short Tuesday night in the first round of the N.C. High School Athletic Association 3A playoffs. The Panthers saw Northern Guilford come in and take four of six singles matches, the last of which came on a third-set tie-break at No. 3 singles that went to 12-10 before Russell Riley prevailed over Josh Edwards. The lone victories came from Rick Ydrovo at No. 2 and Thomas Edwards at the fourth spot. Ledford rallied in doubles, though, with the No. 2 team of Josh Edwards and Jay Buchanan cruising 10-4 and the No. 1 team of Landon Rogers and Thomas Edwards pulling out an 11-10 (10-8) triumph. On the third court, though, Ydrovo and Jackson Somers battled before falling 10-8. “I’m really proud of the guys,” said Panthers coach Randy Grimes, who saw his team’s season end at 16-4 but will send four players to the individual regionals this weekend. “It’s a tough one to lose, but they battled all night long.” The match lasted 41⁄2 hours.

Hernandez, Nationals turn back Braves Penguins blank THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON – Livan Hernandez had his season-low in innings and his season-high in pitches, yet he still managed to keep his ERA below 1.00 as he pitched the Washington Nationals to a 6-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night. The 35-year-old right-hander allowed two runs – one earned – while

throwing 123 pitches over 51⁄3 innings for the Nationals, who moved back to two games above .500 (14-12) and are making a run for first place in May, rare territory for the franchise in recent years. Hernandez (4-1) walked five, and the earned run he allowed – a homer by rookie Jason Heyward – raised his ERA from 0.87 all the way to 0.99. Matt Capps earned his majorsleading 11th save in 11 tries.

Josh Willingham, Ian Desmond and Adam Dunn hit solo home runs as the Nationals snapped Atlanta’s three-game winning streak and handed the Braves their eighth straight road loss, the franchise’s longest road skid since 1996. Every starting position player for Washington except Ryan Zimmerman had at least one hit, and Ivan Rodriguez singled twice to raise his average to .406.

Tigers’ longtime broadcaster Harwell dead at 92 DETROIT (AP) – Longtime Detroit Tigers broadcaster Ernie Harwell, beloved by generations of fans who grew up listening to his rich voice, Southern cadence and quirky phrases on the radio, has died after a months-long battle with cancer. He was 92. Tigers spokesman Brian Britten said the Tigers learned of Harwell’s death from his agent. Harwell, who called Detroit Tigers games for four-plus decades and was acquired by the Brooklyn

Dodgers for a catcher, announced in September that he had been diagnosed with inoperable cancer of the bile duct. Then 91, he took the news with characteristic poise, saying he planned to continue working on a book and other projects. “Whatever happens, I’m ready to face it,” Harwell told The Associated Press on Sept. 4, 2009. “I have a great faith in God and Jesus.” Shortly after Harwell’s announcement, the Tigers honored him during the third inning of a game

against Kansas City, showing a video tribute and giving him a chance to address the crowd at Comerica Park. “In my almost 92 years on this Earth, the good Lord has blessed me with a great journey,” Harwell said at a microphone behind home plate. “The blessed part of that journey is that it’s going to end here in the great state of Michigan.” Harwell died Tuesday at his home in Novi, about 30 miles northwest of Detroit.

Canadiens, 2-0 MONTREAL (AP) – Evgeni Malkin scored a power-play goal 1:16 into the third period and Marc-Andre Fleury made 18 saves for his fourth NHL playoff shutout, lifting the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 2-0 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night and a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinal series. Malkin took Sergei Gonchar’s pass and fired a one-timer from the right side past Jaroslav Halak to give the Penguins a 1-0 edge. Alex Goligoski also assisted on Malkin’s fifth goal of the playoffs, but first since Game 4 of the Penguins’ first-round win against Ottawa. Pascal Dupuis scored

into an empty net with 15 seconds remaining to seal the victory. Fleury slid across to make a left pad stop on Michael Cammalleri’s shot from the right side with 7:33 remaining. He stuck out his right pad to thwart Tomas Plekanec’s redirection on Cammalleri’s centering feed during a Canadiens power play late in the third. It was Fleury’s first playoff shutout since a 6-0 win over Philadelphia on May 18, 2008. Pittsburgh outshot Montreal 25-18, including 13-3 in the second. Halak stopped 23 shots for the Canadiens, who have lost seven of eight playoff games at home, including three of four this year.

Philanthropist keeps hospital on cutting edge I

t was a momentous occasion. You read about it in the newspaper. You saw it on television. The “it” is the “da Vinci Robot,” which robotically performs minimally invasive surgery, that recently was unveiled to the press at High Point Regional Health System by Dr. Craig Hall. I was thrilled and excited to be there and to be able to witness this surgical phenom in action in a real operating room on a real patient. The da Vinci Robot represents the future of medicine and HPRHS in one of the first hospitals to have it. In other words, HPRHS is ABOUT the leader TOWN in the Mary health care Bogest industry getting the latest technology. A medical system with the latest technology attracts the best doctors and keeping up with the fast paced innovations means keeping up with these changes. When Dr. Hall approached HPRHS President/CEO Jeff Miller about this new robot, Miller was impressed but there was a small problem. There was no room in the budget for the $1 million price tag. It was then that David Hayworth offered to buy the da Vinci Robot for HPRHS, for the doctors at HPRHS, for the patients at HPRHS. As the press paparazzi readied lighting and cameras in a nearby operation room, I had the opportunity to talk to Hayworth whose vision will live on through his philanthropic legacy. The Hayworth family name adorns the Cancer Center at HPRHS and according to Miller, “There is hardly a corner which you pass in HPRHS that David Hayworth or his family has not touched in ■■■

To that Miller added, “The love affair that this community has with this hospital is unique.” At that moment, we got “the word.” The cameras were ready. The lighting was just right. We walked to the operating room and Hayworth smiled, perhaps uncomfortably at the flashing lights for the photo opportunity with Miller and Dr. Hall. The day had only begun for Hayworth. I asked him if he was going to stay for the operation. (I had to get into scrubs ... believe me that was not a pretty sight.) “No,” he told me, “I have to be in Raleigh for the North Carolina Museum of Art this afternoon and the gala tomorrow.” That’s all he

told me. It was only later and by complete accident that I learned that the North Carolina Museum of Art, which is reopening after a major renovation, has named an entire gallery after our David Hayworth! It is the Flemish Gallery. After I found out, I said, “David,” “How come you didn’t tell me?” He smiled sheepishly and said, “I hope you go see it and let me know if you like it.” HPU President Nido Qubein once said, “Lighting one candle at a time can change the world” David Hayworth is lighting one candle at a time!

some philanthropic way. And what about High Point University? The Hayworth Fine Arts Center, the Hayworth Chapel, The Hayworth School of Arts & Sciences, the David Hayworth Park. I could go on. To many Hayworth is known as a quiet, gentle man but his heart speaks volumes as his generosity has paved the way for generations to come. Incidentally, I had seen him just the day before at the String & Splinter where he and “the boys,” including his dear friend and fellow philanthropist Jack Slane, meet daily for lunch. I boldly broke up the “boys club” momentarily to announce, “David, I get to see your robot

‘roboting’ tomorrow!” To my surprise, he had not even told his friends of his philanthropic gift so I told them. While I hoped I had not embarrassed Hayworth, I was deeply touched by his modestly as he acknowledged his important donation. The next day, when the big press event had arrived, I anxiously waited for Hayworth who arrived with Denise Potter, HPRHS executive director of development. Shortly, we were joined by Jeff Miller. I immediately put on my reporter’s hat and asked probably what could be considered an obvious question. I asked him simply how this day made him feel? “I feel

very thankful. It has been said that the Lord knows who to give his money.” Hayworth added that he hopes that his gift will inspire others to give. Our talk then centered on HPRHS and the increasing needs of philanthropy as the health care situation in our country continues tenuously.

At her father’s alma mater Sunday, former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice stood before Johnson C. Smith University’s latest graduates as an example of what they can strive to be and issued their responsibilities as “educated people.” Rice, the country’s 66th secretary of state, told the 221 graduates to keep searching for their passion: “I don’t mean any old thing that interests you, or something you could or might do,” she said. “But that one unique calling that you can’t do without.” She urged them to commit to reason when trying to understanding important issues; to use the skills they learned at JCSU to think, ask questions and examine assumptions. ‘’This experience will sustain you for the rest of your life,” said Rice, who has returned to teaching at Stanford University, where she was once provost before becoming national security adviser for President George W. Bush, then secretary of state. She was the country’s first black woman to hold that position. ‘’No one should assume that a life of reason is

She said there are plenty of people as intelligent and deserving of the education they were given,

but “for whatever reason – maybe a broken home, poverty or just bad luck – these people did not enjoy the opportunity that you have had at Johnson C.

difficult to aspire. “Differences have been used to divide and dehumanize,” she said. She’d wanted to be a concert pianist, but in college at the University of Denver, she found she didn’t have what it takes to “make it to Carnegie Hall.” Instead, she said her passion became all things Russian – finding it in a international politics class taught

by the father of Madeleine Albright, the country’s 64th secretary of state. Years later, escorting Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to California with President George H.W. Bush, she was glad she found that passion. ‘’Your passion may be hard to spot,” she told the graduates. “But keep an open mind and keep searching.”

The checks were supposed to have been delivered Monday. The number of missing checks and the area involved is larger than originally thought. Postal Service officials say an investigation is under way to determine what went wrong. District Manager Dave Fields said the missing checks were found early Monday evening and distributed to the offices affected. Fields heads the Mid-Carolinas District, which has ZIP codes starting with 280 through 285, 287 through 289, and 297.

Pfizer profit slides on Wyeth charges NEW YORK – Drugmaker Pfizer Inc. on Tuesday reported a huge jump in its firstquarter revenue, thanks to its giant acquisition of Wyeth last October, but charges from the deal weighed down net income for the world’s biggest drugmaker. The maker of cholesterol fighter Lipitor and impotence pill Viagra earned $2.03 billion, or 25 cents per share, in the latest quarter, down 26 percent from $2.73 billion, or 40 cents per share.

Reports boost recovery hopes WASHINGTON (AP) – A surprisingly busy month for U.S. factories and a surge in home buying are the latest signs that the economic recovery is picking up. Orders to U.S. factories rose 1.3 percent in March, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. That was much better than the 0.1 percent decline analysts had expected. Excluding the volatile transportation sector, orders gained 3.1 percent, the biggest increase since August 2005. Widespread activity in many industries offset a big drop in commercial

aircraft. The increase offers further evidence that U.S. manufacturers are helping drive the recovery. A separate report showed that more people signed contracts on previously owned homes in March than was expected. The jump was in large part the result of tax incentives that have propelled the housing market this spring. The National Association of Realtors said its seasonally adjusted index of sales agreements for previously occupied homes rose 5.3 percent from a month earlier to

a reading of 102.9. It was the highest level since October and a 21 percent increase from the same month a year earlier. The index provides an early measurement of sales activity because there is usually a one- to twomonth lag between a sales contract and a completed deal. The two reports offered more evidence that the recovery is strengthening. But Wall Street appeared to be more focused on the growing debt crisis in Europe. Stocks slid at the opening bell and the Dow Jones industrial average was down more than 270

points in midday trading, or 2.4 percent. At the moment, manufacturing is the leading star of the economic rebound and economists are predicting that will continue for the rest of the year, helping to offset weakness in other areas. Manufacturers are benefiting not only from the rebound in the United States but also rising demand for U.S. exports as the global economy recovers at a faster rate than had been expected. “I expect that will continue for quite some time,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s An-

The overall durable goods number was heavily influenced by a big swing in commercial aircraft, a volatile category, which plunged 66.9 percent in March after having posted huge gains in the two previous months.

Marathon profits from oil spike HOUSTON (AP) – Marathon Oil said Tuesday that its first-quarter profit rose 62 percent as higher oil prices offset losses in the company’s refining business. Marathon made $457 million, or 64 cents per share, for the quarter ended March 31 compared with $282 million, or 40 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter. Including one-time charges, the company would have

made $315 million, or 44 cents per share, in the quarter compared with $240 million, or 34 cents per share, a year ago. Like other integrated oil companies which refine crude oil as well as produce it, Marathon has been helped by oil prices that have skyrocketed from $33 a barrel in the first quarter of last year to above $84 a barrel now. But their refining businesses have suffered

because they have been unable to fully pass along the costs of higher crude to customers for gasoline and diesel. Marathon’s revenue totaled $16.8 billion for the quarter, up 64 percent from $10.3 billion a year ago. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected profit of 21 cents per share on revenue of $16.5 billion. Marathon’s profit from its exploration and produc-

tion business totaled $502 million in the quarter compared with $83 million in the year-ago quarter even as sales volumes dropped. Marathon’s refining business lost $237 million, compared with profit of $159 million in the first quarter last year. The company said maintenance costs and expansion of its refinery at Garyville, Louisiana, drove operating expenses higher in the quarter.

MasterCard benefits as shoppers reach for plastic PURCHASE, N.Y. (AP) – MasterCard Inc. on Tuesday said its first-quarter profit jumped 24 percent with more shoppers feeling comfortable enough about the economy and their jobs to reach for the plastic again, and as debit card use soared. The payment processor earned $455 million, or $3.46 per share in the first three months of the year, compared with $367 million, or

$2.81 per share, in the yearago period. Revenue climbed 13 percent to $1.31 billion, from $1.16 billion last year. MasterCard said about 5 percent of that gain came from raising the prices it charges to merchants for processing transactions. The results easily topped the $3.14 per share and $1.27 billion revenue expected, on average, by analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.

The healthier profits reflect 5 percent growth in the number of transactions processed, and an 11 percent increase in MasterCard’s international volume. The use of credit cards in the U.S. remained sluggish, dropping 3 percent. That was a far smaller decline than the double-digit drops seen for most of 2009, and Chief Financial Officer Martina Hund-Mejean said in an interview that credit

use actually edged slightly higher in March and April. “People are starting to come back and use credit a little bit more,” she said in an interview. But debit card used surged everywhere. MasterCard said total debit volume using cards that draw money from bank accounts rose 18 percent worldwide, including a 7 percent jump in the U.S. and 33 percent spike abroad.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal regulators plan to examine whether Apple Inc. is violating antitrust rules by requiring software developers to use Apple programming tools to create applications for the iPhone and iPad. A person with knowledge of the inquiry tells The Associated Press that officials at the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission are sorting out which agency will examine Apple’s policy. The policy could prevent developers from using outside tools such as those from Adobe Systems Inc. to design apps for Apple’s devices. The person with knowledge of the inquiry, who was not authorized to speak publicly, noted that it is in a preliminary stage. The government regularly scrutinizes corporate conduct without taking action.

Nissan to recall Infiniti G35 WASHINGTON (AP) – Nissan Motor Co. said Tuesday it will recall nearly 135,000 Infiniti G35 sedans and coupes to address a problem that could lead to the air bag not deploying in a crash. Nissan said the recall involves G35 Coupes from the 2005 to 2007 model years and G35 Sedans from the 2005 to 2006 model year. The automaker says the air bag unit’s wire harness under the front passenger seat could wear down and interrupt the air bag’s signal.

Merck beats expectations, shares rise NEW YORK (AP) – Drugmaker Merck & Co. said Tuesday double-digit sales growth for a half-dozen of its top medicines and favorable currency rates fueled a 7 percent jump in first-quarter sales, but large charges for its November deal to buy Scher-

ing-Plough Corp. pulled profit down sharply. Despite that, Merck handily beat analyst expectations and Wall Street pushed up its share price in return. The maker of asthma and allergy pill Singulair and cholesterol drugs Vytorin and Zetia reported earnings of

$298.8 million, or just 9 cents per share. A year earlier, before Merck’s megadeal to buy Schering-Plough for $41 billion, Whitehouse Station, N.J.-based Merck reported a first-quarter profit of $1.43 billion, or 67 cents per share, on revenue of $5.39 billion.

Mild flu season dents CVS sales NEW YORK (AP) – CVS Caremark Corp. said Tuesday its profit grew in the first quarter, but said the mild cold and flu season hurt its sales. CVS raised the low end of its profit forecast for the year, pointing to its first-quarter results and confidence about its performance for the rest of the year. But it reduced its revenue expectations, saying total revenue will be equal or slightly lower than its 2009 results. It said that was because of the surprisingly mild flu season, which has hurt results for the largest U.S. drugstore chain. Its shares fell 52 cents, or 1.4 percent, to $36.56 in morning trading. Despite the mild flu season and bad weather, revenue at CVS drugstores rose 4 percent. Revenue rose 3 percent at the Caremark pharmacy benefits management business although it lost several major contracts at the end of 2009 and some lost Medicare Part D prescription drug business. The company said it earned $771 million, or 55 cents per share, for

Greek debt fears rattle world markets LONDON – World markets tumbled Tuesday as investors worried that Europe’s debt crisis would spread despite the weekend’s €110 billion ($143 billion) bailout package for Greece. The euro took another hammering, dropping to a one-year low against the dollar. In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares closed a hefty 142.18 points, or 2.6 percent, at 5,411.11 on the first day of trading following the May Day public holiday. Germany’s DAX dropped 160.06 points, or 2.6 percent, to 6,006.86 while France’s CAC-40 slid 128.78 points, or 3.2 percent, to 3,705.68.

German car exports jump 58% on year BERLIN – German car exports were up 58 percent on the year in April as major global markets regained momentum, even as a decline in new registrations at home continued, an industry group said Tuesday. Germany exported 338,800 cars last month, according to the VDA group, which represents automakers. The year-on-year increase compared with a rise of 51 percent in March.

the three months ended March 31. That was up 4.5 percent from the $738 million, or 50 cents per share, it reported a year ago. Excluding one-time items, the company said it earned 60 cents per share. That’s 2 cents a share more than analysts expected, according to a survey by Thomson Reuters.

Revenue edged up 2 percent to $23.76 billion from $23.4 billion a year ago. Analysts expected revenue of $24.12 billion. The company runs 7,063 drugstores around the country, about 400 hundred less than rival Walgreen Co. CVS said sales at stores open at least a year rose 2.3 percent.

Greece cuts cause public outcry ATHENS, Greece (AP) – Angry Greek unionists took to the streets Tuesday to protest harsh austerity measures imposed under an international bailout to save Greece from looming bankruptcy, while financial markets were far from assured that the €110 billion ($144 billion) in promised loans could douse Europe’s smoldering sovereign debt crisis. About 4,000 striking teachers and students marched in Athens to protest the cuts, carrying black flags, while some scuffled with police. Earlier, about 100 Communist Party supporters broke through the gates of the Acropolis, the city’s chief ancient monument, and hung banners in Greek and English reading “Peoples of Europe Rise Up,” to the bemusement of tourists allowed in despite the disruption.

The cutbacks were announced on Sunday, as a precondition for the loans from the International Monetary Fund and the other 15 EU countries using the euro. The aid, spread over three years, is Greece’s only hope of paying off €8.5 billion ($11 billion) in debt that matures May 19 – or defaulting. Yet market reaction to the bailout deal was “lukewarm at best,” as although Greek and peripheral bond yield spreads narrowed the euro slipped against the dollar, said analyst Mitul Kotecha at Credit Agricole CIB Research. “Concerns about parliamentary approvals, implementation-execution risk, prospects for relatively weaker growth in Europe, as well as contagion to Spain and Portugal, has tempered any enthusiasm towards the package,” Kotecha said.

Interactive Data agrees to buyout BEDFORD, Mass. (AP) – Interactive Data Corp., which provides financial information and tools to analyze it, said Tuesday it has agreed to a $3.4 billion takeover by Silver Lake and Warburg Pincus as private equity firms begin to return to leveraged buyouts. Interactive’s biggest shareholder, U.K. publisher Pearson PLC, and its board of directors approved the deal. Pearson publishes Penguin books, the Financial Times and The Economist periodicals and education materials. Interactive Data had been exploring strategic options, including a potential sale. Interactive Data stock-

holders will receive $33.86 in cash for each share they own. This represents an approximately 33 percent premium over its Jan. 14 stock price, the last trading day before it decided to explore options. It is also a 3 percent premium over Interactive’s Monday closing stock price of $32.99. The deal is a potential windfall for former CEO Stuart Clark, who retired in March 2009. He has more than 228,000 Interactive Data shares and options to buy 375,000 more, according to an April securities filing. Together, that could bring him more than $20 million if the deal goes through as planned.

Stocks tumble on Greece doubts NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks plunged around the world Tuesday as fears spread that Europe’s attempt to contain Greece’s debt crisis would fail. The euro fell to its lowest point against the dollar in a year. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 225 points, its biggest drop in three months. The slide erased a 143-point gain from Monday. The Dow and broader indexes each fell more than 2 percent. Meanwhile, Treasury prices rose on increased demand for safe investments. Stocks have seesawed in the past week as European countries’ efforts to agree on a bailout package for Greece proceeded in fits and starts. An agreement finally came together over the weekend, but its ballooning size of $144 billion has investors worried that Europe would have an even tougher time assembling an aid package if a larger country such as Spain or Portugal were to get in trouble. Traders are concerned that problems in Greece and other countries could spill over to the rest of Europe and in turn, the U.S. The market’s plunge wasn’t a surprise to some analysts who have warned for weeks that stocks were due for a retreat. After Monday’s rally, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index was up almost 14 percent from its 2010 low of 1,056.74, reached Feb. 8.

Ninety-three-year-old MaeBelle Clapp assists Cynthia Waller at Kirkman Park School during Tuesday’s primary voting. Clapp has been working as an election volunteer for more than 50 years.

Assisting democracy For at least 50 years, MaeBelle Clapp has helped High Pointers vote BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

IGH POINT – No one’s quite certain how long MaeBelle Clapp has been a High Point precinct worker, but at age 93 – with a birthday less than two weeks away – she’s certainly got seniority on all of her fellow precinct workers. “She’s been doing this forever,” Shelley Delmestri, chief judge for the H-12 precinct, said Tuesday morning at Kirkman Park Elementary School, where Clapp – a Republican precinct judge – spent the day assisting voters. “Forever” may be stretching it a bit, but it’s safe to say Clapp has been a precinct worker for more than half a century. “I don’t remember what year it was, but I think it’s been a little over 50 years,” said the soft-spoken Clapp, who is the widow of former High Point mayor Paul Clapp. She figures she worked the polls at the old Ray Street Elementary School for about 10 years, until a fire destroyed the school in 1961. She has worked at Kirkman Park since then. If her memory is correct, that means she became a precinct

worker in the early 1950s, meaning her total years of service could be closer to 60 than 50. “I just love to work and see the people,” Clapp said. And she’s not just sitting around doing nothing – she’s working. “She’ll be here from 6 o’clock in the

’I’ve seen her chase down a few people to give them their sticker.’ Shelley Delmestri Precinct judge, speaking of MaeBelle Clapp morning till 8 o’clock at night, after the polls have closed,” Delmestri said. “I mean, that’s a long day for anybody. And she prefers to be a machine operator – that’s what she likes to do. And she gives out stickers to voters. I’ve seen her chase down a few people to give them their sticker.” When Clapp first became a precinct worker – “They just needed some help,”

she recalled – paper ballots were still being used. Through the years, though, the election process became more modern, and Clapp kept up with no problem. “Even at 93 – almost 94 – she’s taken on all the new technology,” Delmestri said. “Every time we’d get new machines, it would be a little bit different, but she just goes along and figures it out. She’s amazing.” Voters seem to like seeing Clapp’s friendly face when they return to the polls, according to Delmestri. “Especially in small elections like this, we get the same voters coming in,” she said. “You’ll get the same 25 people, and every time they’re like, ‘Hey, Ms. MaeBelle, how are you doing? How’s your garden?’ They all love seeing her. And I think she enjoys it, too – she enjoys having a purpose and just keeps on keeping on.” Clapp said she plans to remain a precinct worker as long as she’s able. “I’m doing pretty good,” she said. “As long as my health is good, I’d love to keep doing this.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Marinated lamb rib chops make for tender wrap BY J.M. HIRSCH AP FOOD EDITOR

eeping a grilled lamb dish tender and fast is all a matter of choosing the right cut. For this recipe, I wanted something I could marinate briefly, toss on the grill for a few minutes, then shove into a pita bread with some roasted peppers and crumbled feta. I ended up going with lamb rib chops, an incredibly tender cut most often prepared – and eaten – on the bone. But a quick slice with a paring knife turned the ribs into medallions just the right size for a wrap. For this sandwich, I kept everything simple, and very Greek. The marinade is olive oil, red pepper flakes and oregano. For the acid, I went with cider vinegar for ease, but lemon juice would just as good (and more authentic).

Grilled Marinated Lamb Wraps with Feta Start to finish: 25 minutes 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided 1 tablespoon cider vinegar 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano Salt and ground black pepper 2 pounds lamb rib chops 2 red bell peppers, cored and quartered 4 large pita pocket breads 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves

In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the vinegar, red pepper flakes, dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Carefully cut the meat from the bones, then add the meat to the bowl. Toss well to coat, then refrigerate for 15 minutes. Heat the grill to medium-high. Coat the grates with cooking spray. Use the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to rub all sides of

the pepper quarters. Arrange the peppers on the grill and cook until solid grill lines form on the bottoms. Turn the peppers, then continue grilling. Add the lamb to the grill and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. To assemble the wraps, place 4 rounds of lamb down the center of each pita. Top with grilled peppers, crumbled feta and fresh oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Serves 4.

If Pradeep K. Garg, Ph.D., of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center figures out why some smokers are more addicted to nicotine than others, it could lead to more successful smoking cessation treatments. Backed by a $2.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, Garg and research colleagues at Wake Forest Baptist and Duke University Medical Center are conducting research to improve the effectiveness of nicotine vaccination for cigarette smokers. Using positron emission topography imaging, he will be able to see the dynamics of nicotine distribution in human body organs during actual cigarette smoking. The research, published recently by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, looked at how long it takes nicotine to reach peak levels in smokers’ brains. “If we can effectively block nicotine entry in the brain, we will have effective therapy,” Garg said. “Having an accurate understanding of the mechanism of anti-nicotine immunotherapy will help us improve its treatment efficacy and could lead to better patient management and may help develop better vaccines in the future.” Understanding why some people are more addicted to nicotine than others will lead to better treatment options. It’s an important question to answer when, in the United States alone, approximately 47 million adults are current cigarette smokers and smoking-attributable health care expenditures and productivity losses exceed $190 billion annually.

In a penny Chicago game, Cy the Cynic made a slam -- and couldn’t resist a little crowing. “How many men does it take to change a light bulb?” sighed Wendy, my club’s feminist. “One, to hold the bulb and let the world revolve around him.” Cy and Wendy soon became partners, and Wendy led the king of spades against South’s ill-judged four hearts. South considered, then played low from dummy. When Cy discarded, Wendy led a low spade. Dummy played low again, and Cy ruffed and led a club. South won, drew trumps, led a spade to the jack and threw his club loser on the ace. He lost a diamond but made game.

and he loses two more tricks.

THANKS “Thanks, partner,” Cy snarled. “You’re as smart as the woman who went to see ‘Closed for the Winter’ at a drive-in movie and froze to death.” I was surprised that Wendy let South make four hearts. Wendy can send a woman to get the job done. If she leads the queen of spades at Trick Two, Cy will ruff dummy’s ace. South’s high spades are tangled up,

HOROSCOPE

CROSSWORD

Wednesday, May 5, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Craig David, 29; Henry Cavill, 27; Danielle Fishel, 29; Richard E. Grant, 53 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Don’t be too sure of yourself or you will make a costly mistake. Much can be accomplished if you are diligent about why and how you do things. You must take action and address every detail so you receive the credit you deserve. Don’t fall short this year because someone has let you down personally. Your numbers are 6, 13, 21, 25, 32, 40, 47 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take the edge off your stress by doing something physically challenging or that can boost your confidence. Interacting with people who offer a different slant on things will help you formulate new plans with greater potential for success.★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): An emotional matter that revolves around home and family will raise issues that need to be addressed. Decide what’s important to you and what you must discard in order to ease tension and keep things amicable. ★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Inconsistency and uncertainty are the enemies. Don’t let anger or someone’s discontent sway you from what you know in your heart must be done. This is the time to think, make your plans, do your own thing and discover what life has to offer you. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Show stability by sticking to your plans and following through with promises. Older and younger people in your life will be counting on you and you mustn’t let them down, no matter what. Avoid overspending. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be inclined to react harshly toward anyone who disagrees with you. Emotional issues will be raised and can lead to an argument as easily as to a passionate encounter. The outcome will be directly linked to the way you deal with the suggestions made. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Productive projects with moneymaking potential should be on your agenda. Proper diet and regular exercise should be implemented into your everyday routine. Keep a close watch over what everyone around you is contributing. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This is the perfect day to contribute to your emotional well-being. Don’t let someone else’s uncertainty cause you to miss out on something you really want to do. You’ll enhance your love life if you are playful and experimental. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Avoid people who withhold information or use emotional ultimatums. Stand up for what you want. It’s not worth holding on to a relationship that is all take and no give. Back away from anyone who won’t meet you halfway. ★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Fact finding will be in your best interest, especially when it has to do with legal, financial or medical issues. A new friendship can turn into a financially worthwhile connection if you share knowledge. ★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Worrying about a money matter won’t save you from loss but making an unexpected move will. Set up a budget that will help you deter anyone from trying to talk you out of your cash. Put your money into your home or an investment property. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Nothing will be easy for you if you let your emotions take over. Don’t try to push others or put too much pressure on getting things done. You need time to think matters through and to figure out what to do next. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you don’t have any expectations, you won’t be disappointed. Rely on your own abilities to get you through the day. Depending on others will lead to dissatisfaction. Delays will cause uncertainty and a need to rethink your next move. ★★★

ANSWER: Most pairs agree that after a weak two-bid, a new-suit response is forcing. (So is a bid of 2NT, which pairs treat as some type of artificial inquiry.) Only a spade raise would be not forcing. Partner’s hand is unknown, but you must bid. Since you have stoppers in both minor suits, try 3NT. South dealer Both sides vulnerable

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

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA-Part B, Public Law 105.17) Project is presently being amended. The Project describes the special education programs that Guilford County Schools proposes for Federal funding for the 20102011 school year. To the extent consistent with the number and location of children with disabilities in Guilford County who are enrolled by their parents in private schools located within the district, the provision is made for the Child Find process to ensure the equitable participation of those children in the program assisted or carried out under IDEA by providing for such children special education and related services. Interested persons, including representatives of private educational settings, are encouraged to review amendments to the Project and make comments concerning the implementation of special education under this Federal Program. All comments will be considered prior to submission of the amended Project to the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction in Raleigh, North Carolina. The IDEA-Part B Project is open to the public for review and comments daily during May 10 through May 14, 2010 in the following Guilford County Administrative offices: 712 North Eugene St., Greensboro and 120 Franklin Boulevard, Greensboro. Comments regarding the project may be sent to Betty Anne Chandler, Executive Director of Exceptional Children Services at 134 Franklin Blvd., Greensboro, NC 27401 or electronically submitted to chandlb@gcsnc.com.
