Second session of 2009-2010 biennium of General Assembly will convene May 12.

It will color legislative session more than usual BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Each time the N.C. General Assembly convenes during an election year – as will happen this week in Raleigh for the 2010 state legislative session – politics plays a pivotal role in the deliberations, analyst Ran Coble said. But this year, given the fiscal and electoral backdrop for what’s called the short session, it may be politics on steroids. Not only will first-term Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue and state legislators have to contend with yet another substantial budget shortfall, they will deliberate over potential cuts in state spending while pondering how the budget resolution will play at the polls in the fall general election. Add to that turmoil the importance of the Nov. 2 general election for the future of the General Assembly. The legislators who win on Election Day and take the oath of office in January will determine state legislative district lines for the rest of the decade based on the results of the 2010 census. The desire

of legislators from both parties to control redistricting next year will factor into what controversial issues do – and don’t – come up during this year’s session, said Coble, executive director of the nonpartisan N.C. Center for Public Policy Research in Raleigh. The 170 members of the General Assembly will start work at noon Wednesday after the gavels bang down in the House and Senate chambers at the State Legislative Building. “To me, politics in this session is magnified times

10. That will make the Legislature very cautious in terms of what it takes up. They will tend to have a very minimalist agenda and not want to take up anything controversial that can be used as an election issue,” said Coble, no relation to U.S. Rep. Howard Coble, R-6th. Also, because more legislators than usual face general election opponents in 2010 than in previous years, legislators don’t want this year’s session to extend into the fall campaign season, he said.

Budget woes dominate that the state budget shortfall could total $1.6 billion, meaning that the governor TRIAD – The fiscal picture and 170 members of the facing Gov. Beverly Perdue Legislature will have to fill and members of the N.C. a painful gap to meet the General Assembly this requirement of a balanced year is shaping up like an state budget. unpleasant remake of last The fiscal picture facing year’s legislative session. Analysts have estimated BUDGET, 2A BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

General Assembly agenda Issues that may come up during 2010 N.C. General Assembly session other than the budget shortfall: • Reform state Alcoholic Beverage Control system • Oversight of state mental health system • Merger of Smart Start and More at 4 • Reworking Lee Tax Credits • Campaign finance law • Requirement for all community colleges to offer federal loans in exchange for budget flexibility • Homeowner & homebuyer protection reforms • Gubernatorial appointee background disclosure • Reorganizing schools with high dropout rates • Governor’s initiatives including job creation measures, ethics reform, a small business growth package & probation reform GRAYSON SHULER | HPE

“The worst thing for anybody who’s in a contested race is to be nailed down in Raleigh until September or October while his challenger is out there campaigning,” Coble said. Democrats currently control both chambers of the General Assembly – by a 16-seat margin in the House and 10-seat edge in the Senate. If Democrats can keep control of both chambers after the general election, their party will control state legislative and congressional redistricting. The district lines drawn next year will be used for elections starting in 2012 and through the decade. Republicans, in turn, want to gain control of at least one chamber of the General Assembly to have more clout when

district lines are drawn. Coble said the dicey political situation of 2010 means legislators will try to avoid raising any issue in this year’s session that might backfire on them or their party. If any legislation comes up, and it looks like it will extend the session by weeks, legislators probably will punt the matter to the 2011 session if it’s possible, Coble said. “For example, we know we are going to have a recommendation from a study commission on Alcoholic Beverage Control. But that’s a pretty major decision on whether to privatize all that. I’m skeptical that’s the kind of thing they want to deal with this year,” he said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Maggie Jeffus, D-Guilford. However, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act stimulus aid will expire at the end of this calendar year, said Ran Coble, executive director of the N.C.

an economic recovery.” Republicans have expressed skepticism about the proposal, saying that it doesn’t go far enough to reduce state spending in real terms. Coble said that legislators aren’t likely to raise taxes in an election year. So that leaves balancing the state budget during the 2010 session through reductions in programs, services and state positions. A report from Jeffus’ legislative office indicates that last year the General Assembly cut more than 500 budget line items and eliminated more than 50 programs to resolve the shortfall. Last year’s budget eliminated 2,191 state positions, her office reports. Perdue indicated in presenting her 2010-11 year budget that spending for most state agencies would be reduced 5 percent to 7 percent. The governor proposes protecting parts of state government tied to education by having reductions of less than 4 percent in those areas. Still, the governor’s office said her proposal would eliminate more than 600 state government positions in the 2010-11 fiscal year.

Mother of missing NC woman waits for answers TARBORO (AP) – For more than a year, Juray Tucker has worn a yellow ribbon on her nursing scrubs. A flier with a photograph of her missing daughter is taped to her car window. Every few hours, Tucker’s husband checks their home phone for a message, still hoping she hasn’t fallen victim to a possible serial killer. “I got to be realistic – whenever the phone rings,” Tucker, a 59-year-old nursing assistant, said as she paused and shed tears in the living room of her mobile home. “It’s always there. But I still hope and pray that she’s alive.” Since 2006, nine AfricanAmerican women have disappeared near the small central North Carolina city of Rocky Mount. Seven bodies were found along rural roads or in woods outside town,

most so decomposed that investigators couldn’t tell how they died. At least one of the women was strangled, and all the deaths have been classified as homicides. Police say they have a suspect in five of the deaths in custody and talk of a possible serial killer, yet Tucker’s daughter is one of two women who have not been found. For Tucker, this is a time of anguish and waiting that leads her to question her parenting. “When I’m alone I always think, ‘Lord, did I do everything that I could do? Have I done everything that I could do when it comes to her?’” she said. Tucker’s daughter – Yolanda Renee Lancaster, a 37-yearold mother of two – wasn’t found, and her mother says that gives her a glimmer of hope even as she ago nizes

over her disappearance. “After you do everything that you can do to raise them the right way, when they grow up you got no more say. They choose their own way,” she said. Lancaster disappeared in February 2009 after an argument with her boyfriend, said Tucker, noting the spats were common. But after a few weeks, she said she became worried. Normally, Lancaster would at least call to check on her two young children, whom Tucker has raised since they were infants. The 11-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy used to ask about their mother. Now the questions have ceased. “It’s hard to explain why she’s missing because I don’t know why she’s missing or why did she just up and leave and didn’t contact them,” Tucker said.

Officers fired upon during human trafficking investigation MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Four people were taken into custody Friday night after officers investigating a human trafficking case came under fire, according to the Guilford County Sheriff’s office. Reyna Isabel-Reyes Caballero, 37, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. Caballero is being held at the Guilford County Jail. His bail was set at $250,000. Three other people were also taken into custody at the scene, according to Col. Randy Powers. It is

not yet clear what, if any, charges have been filed against them. Caballero has not been charged with human trafficking. The incident, which involves alleged prostitution, is still being investigated, according to law enforcement officials. Officers conducting an undercover operation believe there was probable cause that there was a female human trafficking victim at a home at 700 N.

Blast hits Russia coal mine; 2 killed MOSCOW – A methane explosion tore through Russia’s largest underground coal mine on Saturday, killing two workers and injuring four others, a regional emergency services official said. Of the 312 miners who were below ground at the time of the blast, 142 remained about three hours after the explosion and rescue workers were laboring to extract them, said Valery Korchagin, a spokesman for the Emergencies Ministry in the west Siberian region of Kemerovo.

UK parties mull possible pact LONDON (AP) – Within days, Britain may have something it hasn’t seen since World War II – a coalition government. The first-place Conservatives and third-place Liberal Democrats are negotiating in hopes of resolving an election that failed to produce a clear winner. It re-

mains to be seen whether the right-wing and center-left party can share power or even cooperate on keeping a minority Conservative administration in control of Parliament. They are likely to find common ground on the economy and taxes but have divergent views on voting-system reform,

nuclear weapons and some key foreign policy issues. With negotiations between the parties likely to stretch on for at least two more days and the ruling Labour party still lobbying for its own alternative coalition with the Liberal Democrats, the only thing that’s clear “is how confused

it is at the moment,” according to Bill Jones, a professor of politics at Liverpool Hope University in northern England. Uncertainty has a cost: Market jitters over Britain’s record deficit mean that there’s increased pressure on both parties to compromise on their principles.

Fidel Castro: Spill shows corporate domination HAVANA – Fidel Castro says the spreading oil slick fouling the Gulf of Mexico is proof that the world’s most powerful governments cannot control large corporations that now dictate the public’s destiny. Officials are rushing to seal an underwater oil gusher triggered after a deep-water rig operated by BP PLC exploded and sank on April 20, killing 11 people. It still is unclear whether some of the 3 million gallons of spilled crude could eventually reach Cuba’s shores – though government scientists have appeared on state television to say the island is not immediately at risk.

3 beheaded bodies found near Acapulco ACAPULCO, Mexico – Mexican police are investigating the murders of three men whose bodies were found tortured and headless near the beachside resorts of Acapulco. A Saturday statement from police in Guerrero state says the victims were in their 20s and 30s. Neither their identities nor a motive has been determined. They were found on a peninsula a few miles south of the city. The U.S. State Department warned this week that parts of southern Guerrero state could be dangerous for travelers due to drug violence.

Palestinian approval clears way for talks RAMALLAH, West Bank – Formal Palestinian approval of indirect talks with Israel cleared the way Saturday for President Barack Obama’s first sustained on-the-ground attempt to bring peace to the Middle East.

ISLAMABAD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Pakistan will investigate alleged links between the man accused of trying to detonate a car bomb in Times Square and militant groups operating in the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s northwest believed to have supported the botched attack, the interior minister said Saturday.

Funeral held for slain lacrosse player BALTIMORE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The life of Yeardley Love was celebrated with song and tears Saturday at a funeral service for the slain University of Virginia womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacrosse player. The 90-minute service was held only a few weeks before Love was to graduate, and at a church located just a few miles from where she excelled as a lacrosse player at Notre Dame Preparatory School. Family, friends and Loveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former teammates filled the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen in a closed ceremony.

Highway patrol pilot killed in plane crash IMPERIAL, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A highway patrol pilot flying to monitor freeway speeders was killed when his aircraft crashed in Southern California, officials said Saturday. Officer Danny Benavides, 39, was flying solo when his plane went down about 9:30 a.m. Friday in a desert area near Highway 78 and Split Mountain Road in Imperial County, the patrol said in a news release. It said the patrol communication center lost contact with the pilot and called for a regional search that involved both military and law enforcement personnel.

Officials: New focus on striking US, West WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The failed bombing in New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Times Square is a possible signal that militant leaders in Pakistan have shifted their focus to targets in the U.S. and other Western countries instead of sticking to their home base, according to U.S. counterterrorism officials. The attack, they also warned, could be only the first by terrorist groups that seek to avoid detection by using simpler methods that are more independently planned. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case publicly.

13 injured in LA apartment fire LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A morning fire at an apartment building near downtown Los Angeles injured 13 people Saturday, including a woman who jumped from a window and a 5-year-old girl who suffered third-degree burns, authorities said. Crews plucked residents from windows in the three-story building after the fire broke out about 8:45 a.m. in a corner apartment, city fire Capt. Steve Ruda said. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Staten Island ferry with a history of accidents malfunctioned as it approached its terminal Saturday and smashed into a pier with a jolt that tossed passengers and hurt as many as 37 people.

Deep-sea ice crystals stymie Gulf oil leak fix ON THE GULF OF MEXICO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ice-like crystals encrusting a 100ton steel-and-concrete box meant to contain oil gushing from a broken well deep in the Gulf of Mexico forced crews Saturday to back off the longshot plan, while more than 100 miles away, blobs of tar washed up at an Alabama beach full of swimmers. The failure in the first attempt to use the specially constructed containment box over the leak 50 miles off the Louisiana coast, coupled with the ominous arrival of the sticky substance

at Dauphin Island, Ala., crushed hopes of a shortterm solution to what could yet grow into the worst oil spill in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. More than 3 million gallons of crude have spewed into the Gulf since a rig exploded April 20, killing 11, and officials said it would be at least Monday before a different solution is found. Authorities in protective gear descended on the public beach on Dauphin Island, three miles off the Alabama mainland at the mouth of Mobile Bay and much farther east than oil had been reported.

Sen. Bennett ousted at Utah GOP convention SALT LAKE CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Republican Sen. Bob Bennett was thrown out of office Saturday by delegates at the Utah GOP convention in what represents a stunning defeat for a once-popular three-term incumbent who fell victim to a growing conser-

vative movement nationwide. Bennett survived a first round of voting but was a distant third in the second round. He garnered just under 27 percent of the vote. Businessman Tim Bridgewater had 37 percent and attorney Mike Lee got 35 percent.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano examines discarded items ruined by floodwaters, including a photo album and a record album, as she visits flood-damaged areas of Nashville, Tenn., on Saturday.

Napolitano: Tennessee flood victims should seek help NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano toured Tennesseeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flood zone Saturday morning, urging those affected to seek help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Napolitano says more than $4.1 million in individual assistance has been approved already with 16,000 applications made and 695 inspections done by early Saturday morning.

FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate and Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen joined Napolitano on the tour of Nashville, where the damage has been estimated to be at least $1.5 billion after record rains. Two more bodies of storm victims have been found, bringing the death toll from last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s string of thunderstorms to 33 in Tennessee, Kentucky and Mississippi.

Gates: Urgent need to cut defense bureaucracy ABILENE, Kan. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Warring against waste, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Saturday he is ordering a top-to-bottom paring of the military bureaucracy in search of at least $10 billion in annual savings needed to prevent an erosion of U.S. combat power. He took aim what he called a bloated bureaucracy, wasteful business prac-

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Idolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; finalists remain harmonious through rivalry

2 West Virginia FAMOUS, FABULOUS, FRIVOLOUS --men charged in Lady Gaga concert scam MARTINSBURG, W.Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Two men face charges of scamming fans of Lady Gaga and Adam Lambert by selling tickets for a bogus concert in West Virginia. Martinsburg police say 45-year-old Sherman Luke Loy and 45-year-old Dean R. DeSana turned themselves in separately Friday and were released on bond. Each was charged with one count of obtaining money by false pretenses. Loyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer says the tickets started at $100. According to a criminal complaint, the men claimed the concert would be held April 24 at a park near Harpers Ferry. The concert never happened.

LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The last four â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idolâ&#x20AC;? contestants left standing say their rivalry is a friendly one. The singers told a news conference Friday theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve remained close even as they strive to win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all friends,â&#x20AC;? said Lee Dewyze, 24, of Mount Prospect, Ill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But as far as the show, at the end of the day, all of us do want to win. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here: We want that No. 1 spot ... (but) we want it for ourselves, not because we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want anyone else to win.â&#x20AC;?

Singer Vanessa Carlton bitten by pit bull SHOHOLA, Pa. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The father of singer Vanessa Carlton says his daughter was bitten by a pit bull while jogging near his northeastern Pennsylvania home. Carltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Ed, says his daughter is being treated with antibiotics following the May 2 incident in Shohola, about 100 miles north of Philadelphia. Ed Carlton says his daughter was jogging along a road when a neighborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dog bit her leg.

Animal control officials have put the dog under a 10-day home quarantine. The state Carlton Department of Agriculture says a dog warden will examine the dog at the end of quarantine for signs of illness.

Casey James, 27, of Fort Worth, Texas, agreed, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a matter of how badly you want to do this and how hard you push yourself.â&#x20AC;? There is a sense of competition when song choices are made for their weekly performance, conceded Michael â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Mikeâ&#x20AC;? Lynche, 26, from Queens, N.Y. But when worry sets in about grabbing the best tune, Lynche said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;you realize nobody sings the songs that you singâ&#x20AC;? or has the same style. This week, the foursome will be mentored by singer-actor Jamie Foxx and will perform cinemathemed songs.

Kent: Diverse future awaits Coca-Cola CEO offers words of wisdom to HPU grads

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A leading international business executive urged High Point University graduates Saturday to savor their college relationships, but also to prepare to lead the world into a diverse future. Coca-Cola Company Chairman and CEO Muhtar Kent, who oversees a global company with 93,000 employees worldwide and $32 billion in sales, told nearly 700 graduates they will need their campus relationships in the future. “Hold those relationships closely,” he told the gathering on the Roberts Hall front lawn. “Let them serve you as models for the way you will engage with all the new people you will meet in your life. Relationships will be at the heart of your future success.” Kent said he was confident that HPU leaders and faculty had prepared the class of 2010 for leadership. “You came here for a great education,” he said. “With this gift, you are all now ready to reach to many, many high points. Don’t let anything get in your way.” Kent, who is of Turkish descent, came to the United States with little more than the cash in his pocket. After he moved to New York City to live with an uncle, he answered a newspaper ad to land his first job at Coca-Cola in 1978. Growing global diversity will require young leaders to move through many cultures, said Kent, who often speaks on globalization. Coca-Cola has grown globally to sell beverages in more than 200 countries. “Never lose your ability to adapt to change,” he said. “Your ability to work across borders and different points of view will be essential.” Kent, whose company is known for developing sustainable communities and enhancing economic development, praised HPU for campus community efforts and urged the graduates to remember to “give back to the world as much as you take.” “The world grows more in-

Officials consider incentives for new projects BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – The Davidson County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday night will consider three economic development projects that could bring 90 new jobs and retain 160 jobs. Steve Googe, director of the Davidson County Economic Development Commission, said the projects are named Project L, Project Heel and Project SI. All

of the projects are involved in the manufacturing business, Googe said. “We have seen a strong interest from smaller manufacturing companies looking to this area and provide 30 or 50 jobs because of our manufacturing heritage here,” he said. Project L would invest $3 million and employ about 35 people initially and eventually working up to 60 employees over a 36month period. Googe is suggesting

the county offer the company an incentive grant of .0032 times the company’s investment each year for five years not to exceed $10,000 a year. The Lexington City Council on Monday night will consider a similar incentives package for Project L, Googe said. Project L is related to the wood products industry, according to Googe. Project Heel would invest $1 million and employ about 30 people. Googe is suggesting the coun-

ty offer the company an incentive grant of 0.0027 times the investment each year for five years. Project SI would invest $3 million and retain 160 jobs. Googe is suggesting the county offer an incentive grant of .0027 times the investment each year for five years. The Davidson County Board of Commissioners scheduled public hearings on the projects last month. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Then-Secretary of the Interior Walter Hickel studies a question during an interview in Washington.

Hickel, ex-Interior Secretary, dies at 90 ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – Former Alaska Gov. Walter J. Hickel, who served as Interior secretary under President Nixon until he was dismissed for objecting to the treatment of Vietnam War protesters, has died at age 90. Gov. Sean Parnell ordered state flags flown at half-staff Saturday in honor of his predecessor. U.S. Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, said Alaska “lost one of its true visionaries” with Hickel’s passing. “He was creative and courageous and always put the interests of the state first,” Begich said in a written statement. Hickel was fired from his Interior post in late 1970 after sending Nixon a letter critical of the president’s handling of student protests following the National Guard shootings at Kent State and the U.S. invasion of Cambodia. The letter helped to stir national debate about the growing generational rift over the Vietnam War. “I believe this administration finds itself today embracing a philosophy which appears to lack appropriate concern for the attitude of a great mass of Americans – our young people,” Hickel wrote.

Computer pioneer, Intel founder dies from heart failure BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) – Computer technology pioneer and venture capitalist Max Palevsky, perhaps best-known for funding then-startup chipmaker Intel Corp., has died. He was 85. Palevsky died of heart failure Wednesday at his Beverly Hills home, his wife Jodie Evans told the Los Angeles Times. The early high-tech pioneer transformed mainframe computer builder Scientific Data Systems into an industry powerhouse that he sold to Xerox for $1 billion in 1969.

The billionaire financier and philanthropist then became a founder and director of chipmaker Intel. He left the corporate world in the 1970s. Over the years, Palevsky helped finance then-fledgling Rolling Stone magazine, bankrolled movies, became a political activist and built a world-renowned art collection that transformed the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. A liberal Democrat, Palevsky was a major supporter of Robert F. Kennedy

and Jimmy Carter’s presidential bids and an early supporter of 1972 presidential candidate George McGovern. Palevsky later soured on politics and concentrated on art. Then, in 2000, he stunned Democrats when he contributed $1 million to the campaign finance reform initiative co-authored by Ron Unz, a conservative Silicon Valley tycoon. Palevsky said he was sickened by the “corruption in the electoral process.” Democrats opposed the ultimately unsuccessful measure.

Chess grandmaster dies at 99 BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) – Andor Lilienthal, the last surviving member of 27 original grandmaster chess players, died Saturday in Budapest at the age of 99, the Hungarian Chess Federation said. Lilienthal died at his home after a long illness, the federation’s communications

director Zsuzsa Veroci told The Associated Press. “He was a phenomenon,” said Veroci, also a FIDE woman grandmaster. “It may sound like an exaggeration, but he had no enemies, just friends. He loved chess and was always helping other players.” Lilienthal competed for

Jury selection in trial for 2 murders set to begin

Civil War re-enactors live history at camp

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

STATESVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A 21year-old man, accused of killing a store clerk and customer during a robbery in December 2007, will go on trial for his life in Iredell County Superior Court. Andrew Darrin Ramseur is charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of robbery with a dangerous weapon. He is accused of killing Jennifer Vincek and Jeffrey Peck at the Shell Station on East Broad Street in the early morning hours of Dec. 16, 2007. Vincek was the clerk at the convenience store, and Peck a regular customer who stopped in for his morning cup of coffee. The state is seeking the death penalty in the case. Jury selection is set to begin Monday. Three times the number of jurors normally summoned for a week of Superior Court have been summoned for this case. A total of 150 potential jurors are to report on Monday with another 150 set to come in Wednesday.

NC public employee pension information kept secret RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; State records show that more than 260 former public employees in North Carolina receive annual payment of $100,000 or more but no one can find out how they earned those pensions. The News & Observer

of Raleigh reported Saturday that state Treasurer Janet Cowell has refused to release job information for those and 187,000 other retirees and would not say how long they worked in public jobs. Cowell says the infor-

mation was made secret by an amendment to the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personnel law three years ago. But the sponsor of that law said he never intended to shield the information the treasurer is withholding. The newspaper reports

Death triggers nursing home probe MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

CHAPEL HILL – An 84year-old nursing-home patient who died in February had toxic levels of morphine in her body, according to a medical examiner’s report released last month. The State Bureau of Investigation is looking into Britthaven of Chapel Hill after several residents tested positive for opiates

following Rachel Holliday’s death on Feb. 16. UNC Hospitals caregivers found more than 50,000 nanograms of morphine per milliliter in Holliday’s urine. More than 2,000 nanograms would trigger a positive result in employment screenings, based on federal guidelines. A medical examiner’s report said Holliday had not been prescribed any opiate painkillers.

The state’s Division of Health Service Regulation visited Britthaven after Holliday died and two other patients were hospitalized in February. Division director Jeff Horton said the division may renew its own investigation depending on what the SBI finds. Horton said Britthaven has taken steps to protect residents though it remains unclear where the opiates came from.

Opponents of religion in inaugurations lose fight WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Atheists who oppose prayer and other religious elements in presidential inaugurations have lost a case in a federal appeals court. A three-judge panel on Friday upheld the dismissal of a lawsuit that sought to stop Barack

Obama from using the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;so help me Godâ&#x20AC;? when he took the oath of office last year. Those who sued also wanted to stop ministers from saying prayers at Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inauguration and wanted the court to eliminate religion from future inaugurations.

Two judges said it is too late to act on Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inauguration and the court cannot block religious elements at future events when the participants are not yet known. The third judge says long-standing practices such as prayers and the oath of office are constitutional.

Shut down illegal immigration with a high wall The governor of Arizona signed into Arizona state law a carbon copy statute that transfers federal language into Arizona state language, that gives Arizonian law enforcement officers the ability to detain suspected illegal immigrants from Mexico. While a step toward shutting down illegal immigration from Mexico – and the loss of unskilled labor jobs that could be done by Americans trying to get off welfare or other government entitlement programs – this new legislation doesn’t go far enough. What is needed is a physical barrier along the southern U.S. border with Mexico. A real wall, like the former “Berlin Wall” that was the responsibility of the East German Stasi secret police. While I am as far from being a communist as you can possibly get, one thing the former East Germany could do well was build a wall. Not just a dirt road with a fence and a bunch of remote sensors with federal border patrol agents patrolling the border, but a Berlin Wall-type physical barrier. A wall that is quite tall, impossible to cross, with minefields, cut glass glued on top of the wall, trip wires, German shepherd guard dogs, elevated intersecting machine gun posts at regular intervals that have night vision and thermal optics, listening posts that can hear approaching illegals on the Mexican side, etc.

I would encourage our “supposed” elected representatives to go so far as to consider hiring former East German Stasi officers who were responsible for the building, maintenance and day to day operation of the Berlin Wall. Bring them here, pay them American taxpayer money and take their advice on how to build a physical barrier that will physically shut out illegals so the issue is not even an issue anymore.

Fix Washington by bringing God back into government I haven’t written in a while, but a few things need to be said.

Congress and President Obama have recklessly forced many unwanted changes and programs on the American people. The current Democratic leadership does not have our best interests in mind. Their swagger and intimidation tactics are very telling. It seems they want to consolidate their power base in Washington and strangle our freedom-loving spirit. Have you ever wondered how we became the greatest nation in the history of the world? The fact is we were not afraid to use the Bible as a textbook, teach morality and stand up for our Christian beliefs. As I watch the endless political ads, I have to chuckle. There is at least one ad that says the only way to fix Washington is to bring a well-known senator

home. Let me suggest that the only way to fix Washington is to stop sending Democrats who are unable to lead. I also fail to understand why Michelle Obama is so worried about our children’s diet when teenagers with guns are a more dangerous threat to their life expectancy. The only way to fix any of our problems is to acknowledge that we can’t fix them in the first place. We need to humbly place God back into our government, schools, businesses and even our churches again. We also don’t need more self-esteem programs for our children. We should first teach them about God and how to tell right from wrong. I’m not sure who I am voting for in November, but I can guarantee it will not be for anyone who is not devoted to the conservative values that made our nation great. I don’t see any Democratic candidates willing to place God above politics and do what is right for America. RAY CARTER Jamestown

If it’s not one thing, it’s another Watt’s vote but we’re still here for raises lacks logic A S kewed logic? Or just a lame excuse? “Usually, I try to apply the same principles to myself that I would apply to other people,” Rep. Mel Watt responded when questioned about being one of 15 U.S. House members to vote against freezing pay for congressmen next year. “I couldn’t imagine voting against a cost-of-living increase for anyone else.” Automatic pay raises for members of Congress every year generally are the norm but, this year, given the uncertain state of the economy and the seemingly ever-increasing deficit, the measure approved last week at least temporarily stops automatic raises that were scheduled to take effect Jan. 1. Most members of Congress are paid $174,000 a year. This is one time when Watt, a Democrat who represents part of High Point, might have accepted the logic of Rep. Howard Coble, a Republican who also represents part of High Point. Coble, speaking on the floor of the House in favor of the freeze, said, “Some would say it’s just a symbolic gesture. It may be symbolic, but it’s symbolically significant. What better time to impose a freeze against ourselves than now, during these harsh economic times.” Keep in mind, Watt often has voted for legislation, especially during the last three years, that applies to other people but doesn’t apply to members of Congress. Members of Congress who “try to do the right thing without regards to politics,” as Watt claims, particularly should be making the same sacrifices that most of their constituents (especially those on Social Security) have had to make – tightening the belt anywhere and everywhere. Skewed logic. Lame excuse.

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

stood or sat at his “case,” with his “copy” before him, and picked the type up letter by letter until he had filled and correctly spaced a line. Typesetting was slow and expensive but became dramatically quicker and cheaper with the invention of two intricate and OPINION ingenious machines: the linotype, invented by Ottmar Mergenthaler Tom of Baltimore, and the monotype of Blount Tolbert Lanston, a native of Ohio. ■■■ The once-feared telegraph became a great tool for newspapers. The newspaper funeral bell was rung by many when radio became the instant messenger in the 1920s, but newspapers, after struggling for a bit, adapted to the new conditions and came back strong. The knell was sounded – even louder – again some 30 years later, when television began to grab and hold America’s interest. But the newspaper industry again transformed itself and, as a result, remained the major ingredient in America’s information recipe. A quarter of a century later, Ted Turner took over a small, struggling UHF station, guided it to success, originated the “superstation” concept, changed the company name to Turner Broadcasting System and broke new ground with the launch of CNN, the first 24-hour all-news network, forever changing the way the world saw breaking news. Turner boldly predicted in 1981 that it was “all over” for newspapers, and predicted that they would be gone in 10 years. That was three decades ago and most newspapers, after surviving their worst year financially since the Great Depression in 2009, are still here. The Internet became a strong challenger for newspapers about 15 years ago and, more recently, as Marsha Friedman of News and Experts wrote, “The explosion of Internet applications, such as Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, to name a few, has shifted and expanded the world of marketing and PR, and it will never be the same. “But, don’t expect the traditional media – newspapers, radio and TV – to disappear any time soon,” Friedman continued. “Those who predict the death of traditional media could not be more wrong! In truth, the only really successful marketing campaigns must now embrace ALL media avenues, both offline (traditional) and online.” We believe her. That’s why we’re looking back with our anniversary edition, to be distributed on May 28, and looking ahead with optimism.

s you might imagine, as editor of your daily newspaper, I have been reading a lot lately about newspapers and forecasts on their future. Some “experts” say flat out that newspapers don’t have a future. Example: An article in The New Yorker in January 2009 titled “The day the newspaper died.” Another example: An article in Business Insider in July 2009 that began, “As you may have noticed, newspapers have had a rough 2009. But you may not quite appreciate the magnitude of the collapse. So far this year: 105 newspapers have been shuttered; 10,000 newspaper jobs have been lost; print ad sales fell 30 percent in Q1 ’09; 23 of the top 25 newspapers reported circulation declines between 7 percent and 20 percent.” The headline for that article read, “The Year The Newspaper Died.” But newspapers are still here and conditions – advertising and circulation, at least for smaller markets – are showing gradual but steady improvement. “A Brief History of Newspapers” by collector/ historian Phil Barber tells us “the first printed forerunners of the newspaper appeared in Germany in the late 1400s in the form of news pamphlets or broadsides” and “the earliest predecessors of the newspapers (in the English-speaking world) were corantos, small news pamphlets produced only when some event worthy of notice occurred.” The Weekly News of 1622 was the first successively published title but, Barber declares, “the first true newspaper in English was the London Gazette in 1666.” The first American newspaper, immediately suppressed, appeared in Boston in 1690 entitled Publick Occurrences. The first successful newspaper was the Boston News-Letter, begun by postmaster John Campbell in 1704. Newspapers have been under attack either by government or from some other form of information provider ever since. The death knell has been sounded many times and, each time, newspapers have reinvented themselves, managed to weather the storm and return to varying degrees of prosperity. Steam-powered printing in America began about the same time that Samuel Morse was struggling to perfect the telegraph and, by mid-19th century, the revolving/rotary press evolved and, with better machinery, newspapers were able to print more newspapers faster but, to partner – rather than compete – with the telegraph, still had to find ways to handle news that was coming in increasingly larger waves over the wires. However, the newspapers of 1885, still set up their type by the same method that Benjamin Franklin used to set up the type for The Pennsylvania Gazette. The compositor

COMMENTARY THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE SUNDAY, MAY 9, 2010 www.hpe.com

Common Complaints didn’t translate into votes sense rules A in court cases A nti-religious liberals have been slapped-down recently in two high-level court

cases. In March, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against atheist Michael Newdow, the annoying liberal who tried to use the courts to remove the words “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance and “In God We Trust” from U.S. currency. And in April, the Supreme Court ruled against the removal of a World War I memorial cross from public land in the Mojave Desert. All U.S. coins have had the words “In God We Trust” inscribed on them since 1938. These words first appeared on a U.S. coin in 1864, and they first appeared on paper money in 1957. President Eisenhower signed a law in 1956 making “In God We Trust” our national motto. Two years earlier, Eisenhower had signed a law that added the words “under God” to the pledge. The words “under God” were attributed to OPINION words reportedly spoken by Abraham Mike Lincoln during the Hughes Gettysburg Ad■■■ dress. In 1934, the VFW erected a small wooden cross in the Mojave Desert with a plaque stating, “The Cross, Erected in Memory of the Dead of All Wars.” The site was cared for by World War I veteran Riley Bembrey, one of the site’s founders, until he died in 1984. Henry and Wanda Sandoz have been the caretakers since then. The site has been vandalized repeatedly and a new cross was erected after the original was destroyed. Even the Clinton Administration tried to pressure the Sandoz’s into removing the cross. In a revolting display of liberal intolerance, the cross was encased in a plywood box after the ACLU sued on behalf of Frank Buono, a former low-level bureaucrat in the National Park Service who said, “I have a real problem with government endorsing religion.” The First Amendment in the Bill of Rights has been in effect since 1791. It was written in plain language so that all Americans could read and understand it. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” The words are clear. The meaning is clear. Liberals would like to redefine the words and distort the meaning. The judge in Newdow’s case referred to a 1970 ruling in which the court stated, “It is quite obvious that the national motto and the slogan on coinage and currency ‘In God We Trust’ has nothing whatsoever to do with the establishment of religion.” In the Buono case, Justice Kennedy wrote, “The Constitution does not oblige government to avoid any public acknowledgment of religion’s role in society.” Common sense. How refreshing! When Eisenhower added “under God” to the pledge he said, “In this way we are reaffirming the transcendence of religious faith in America’s heritage and future; in this way we shall constantly strengthen those spiritual weapons which forever will be our country’s most powerful resource in peace and war.” Spoken like a true general. Progressivism has weakened our spiritual weapons. This weakening is at the root of most American social problems. It’s good to see that our courts are not yet devoid of common sense, but it’s unfortunate that these two victories are the exception, not the rule.

ccording to the so-called political experts, voters going into the May 4 primary elections were angry and disliked both the direction our state was taking as well as the elected officials of both parties who were leading our state. One would have expected this unrest to have been evident in the election, but looking at the outcome we find ourselves wondering, like that little old lady in the old Wendy’s ads, where’s the beef? There were a few upsets in the elections but not many. Democrats will stage a runoff in the U.S. Senate race. None of the congressional members had serious challenges and no incumbent state senator lost in the primaries. Five members of the N.C. House lost their challenges, four Democrats and one Republican.

Two sheriffs and at least one district attorney lost re-election bids, but these numbers are well within normal ranges MY SPIN for primary elections. Tom A pitiful 14 Campbell percent of the ■■■ registered voters showed up at the polls. That’s not the worst turnout for primary elections, but it isn’t far from the low of 12 percent, recorded in 2006 when about half the legislative seats weren’t contested. To be sure, the election that really counts will be held in November, but with so much reported unhappiness you would have thought a larger percentage would have voted. Were people misleading the pollsters and are basi-

cally happy? Is their unhappiness mostly over national issues, or have we reached a point where we would just prefer to complain? There is an irony to this civics lesson, as many folks in Wake County can testify. In last fall’s school board elections, few voters went to the polls. The large majority of voters in each district stayed home. In this low percentage turnout, the few who voted elected four new board members who, coupled with one incumbent, have radically changed the state’s largest school district. Vocal protesters pack the room at every school board meeting, but their protestations are overruled by the new majority on the board. That’s the way our system of government works. People who show up to vote have a voice, and the fewer who

show up, the more important that voice becomes. Those they elect make the decisions. This brings us back to our opening question. Where’s the beef? If people are truly upset, we would expect their emotions to translate into actions, specifically voting. There were some important elections. A large vote, even if only incumbents were returned, would have sent a clear message to elected officials that people were engaged and participating in the process. But this didn’t happen. Maybe folks just prefer complaining. We will know for sure after November’s general election.

Loose lips We can still sink ships by revealing too much information

n days past, other nations needed a sophisticated and highly trained espionage operation to know the details of America’s military might. Now, they only need a subscription to The New York Times. The Obama administration has released information regarding the number of nuclear weapons we have stockpiled: 5,113 precisely. This is a mere 16 percent of the nuclear weapons we once had, and the smallest number of nuclear weapons on hand since the Eisenhower administration. OPINION Now, let’s be completely Michael clear that 5,113 Reagan nuclear weap■■■ ons are more than enough. I don’t particularly care to contemplate how many times over the world could be annihilated with that number of nukes. My father, Ronald Reagan, dreamed of a world where our stockpile would be reduced to zero, and that destructive power would be entirely eliminated. But regardless of the merits of reducing the size of our stockpile – an effort which has spanned decades and multiple presidencies – what I cannot applaud is this administration’s loose treatment of American interests. In so many ways, President Obama seems to have forgotten that we are still a sovereign nation facing real threats and irrational enemies. Once again, he has made a substantive offer of American

intelligence and resources without any known return on investment. This deeply disturbing pattern would have appalled my father. Since his inauguration, President Obama has made multiple overtures towards the Iranian government. The response? A report released just this past February by the International Atomic Energy Agency said the Iranians are working even more determinedly in their pursuit of atomic weapons. Their massive enrichment program, perhaps be too large to halt, is now certainly too large for the Iranian government to easily surrender.

During the international climate negotiations in Copenhagen, the United States was only stopped from surrendering massive shares of its economic power by the complete unwillingness to engage on the part of large developing nations such as China, India, and Indonesia. In dealing with rogue nation North Korea, President Obama has only seen the situation with that intractable county disintegrate. Just over a year ago, North Korea pulled out of six-party talks and ejected all nuclear inspectors. A month later, they publicly tested a nuclear weapon. Now, a South Korean naval vessel has sunk under

suspicious circumstances, and even if North Korea is to blame, no one seems quite sure what recourse is available. And while the Obama administration claims a warm relationship with China, we can’t help but look at tensions over North Korea, Taiwan, currency – even Google – and ask: Really? Does a friendly diplomatic meeting do us any good if we walk away with no progress? From his multi-nation apology tour to stalled foreign policy promises to this preemptive release of our nuclear secrets, President Obama has repeatedly demonstrated his willingness to give away the store and gain little to nothing in return. Last weekend’s attempted bombing in Times Square should have driven home, once again, the very real threats America still faces in this world. The economic, military, and diplomatic strength our country has known for the past half-century is not inevitable. Without strong, strategic leadership this nation, like so many before it, will peak and fade. President Obama seems not to know, or not to care, and that is one quality we can not afford in our leader.

Area help line shines in uncertain times BY CHRIS GREENE AND LAURIE WEAVER

he strength of United Way is found in the connection of people to resources – and resources to people – and the amazing capacity for changing lives that results when those connections are successfully made. These connections are even more critical during uncertain times when unemployment is on the rise and making ends meet is more difficult in our community. 2-1-1 shines as an example of such a community resource, provided by your local United Ways in Guilford County: United Way of Greater High Point and United Way of Greater Greensboro. 2-1-1 is an easy to remember, three-

digit telephone number that connects people with a wide variety of important community services to meet everyday needs and serves as a resource for immediate crisis needs. In one phone call from a land line or cell phone, 2-1-1 can offer referral to affordable, high-quality child care, after-school programs, services for senior citizens, counseling and support groups. 2-1-1 also addresses more immediate crisis needs, including food, housing, and clothing emergencies. 2-1-1 is free, confidential, multi-lingual, and available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

2-1-1 can provide information to individuals who are facing unemployment, or direct people in need to lesser known resources, taking pressure off front line agencies like The Salvation Army and Open Door Ministries. In times of natural disasters, 2-1-1 has proven itself invaluable in taking call volume off the 9-1-1 system for needs that are not immediate emergencies. The residents of Guilford County made 8,049 calls to 2-11 in 2009. The largest percentage of these calls came from people in crisis or transition, and 2-1-1 linked them to the help they needed. As we look to the future in this age of uncertainty, it is up to us to make sure that this service continues.

Please give to your local United Way. We must insure that community resources like 2-1-1 continue to be available for all of us, and that the trained, compassionate 2-1-1 operator is there to answer the call from the mother looking for a food pantry, from the father looking for after-school programs, from the daughter looking for home delivered meals for an aging parent ... from any of us, for any reason. Your support of United Way does that, and more. In many ways, our future is in our own hands. We must take care of each other. CHRIS GREENE is a board member of United Way of Greater High Point.

45-year-old civil rights slaying still unresolved MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It took more than four decades for a former Alabama state trooper to be indicted on charges that he gunned down a black demonstrator â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a killing that helped galvanize the civil rights movement. Now a three-year delay for the trial has both sides fearing that elderly Fowler witnesses could die before they get a chance to testify. The lag since the indictment, due in part to a feud between the prosecutor and judge, is on track to be the longest for a major civil rights case since authorities in the 1970s began reopening investigations of the slayings of activists from the previous decade. No trial date has been set for James Bonard Fowler on charges he killed Jimmie Lee Jackson in 1965 during the chaotic aftermath of a civil rights march in Marion. A grand jury indicted Fowler on murder charges May 9, 2007. Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter won-

In this Sept. 19, 2008 photo, vehicles pass a memorial sign on Alabama Highway 183 in Marion, Ala., that designates the highway in memory of Jimmie Lee Jackson, who was shot during a civil rights protest in 1965, and voting rights activist Albert Turner Sr. The sign spells Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name differently than other memorials around Marion. ders if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever be able to fill the gaps about what happened to her father when she was 4 years old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a void in my life I want to fill,â&#x20AC;? said Cordelia Herd Billingsley of Marion.

NC officials say man kills himself in Buncombe jail ASHEVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; North Carolina officials say a man awaiting trial on a habitual impaired driving charge has killed himself in jail. The Buncombe County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office told the Asheville Citizen-Times that 44-year-old David Levi Huskey hanged himself with a bedsheet on Friday afternoon. Huskey had been in jail since April 9. Investigators say that Huskey also had been charged with having a

fake vehicle registration. Authorities say Huskey was not any under special watch conditions and was in the cell alone at the time of his death.

The 76-year-old former trooper, meanwhile, said the case has left him broke, in declining health and uncertain about his future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every day I think they want to keep it open to wear me down until I die,â&#x20AC;?

Fowler said in a recent interview. The case has been delayed by factors ranging from an appeal of a judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s order to the sparse court schedule in rural Perry County, which only holds

court a few weeks each year. In the appeal, the prosecution challenged an order that they give the defense a list of potential witnesses and their expected testimony. The Alabama Supreme Court ruled the

judge went too far. Other motions yet to be resolved include one by the prosecution saying the judge, who is white, has become Fowlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;guardian angelâ&#x20AC;? and should turn the case over to a new judge. The defense also is waiting for a ruling on its claim that a fair trial is impossible in Marion, where historic markers memorialize Jackson as a martyr and a play about him extended its run last year because it drew such large audiences. District Attorney Michael Jackson, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not related to the victim, said the judge must rule on the recusal request before anything can happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m cautiously optimistic that in the next few months there will be a court date set,â&#x20AC;? he said. That may be too optimistic. Some of Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top Democrats have recommended that President Barack Obama appoint Fowlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead attorney, George Beck, to the U.S. Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s post in Montgomery. If that happens, Beck would withdraw from the case and Fowler would need a new lawyer.

MAJOR MALFUNCTION: Internet flaw is open door for hostile takeover. 2C

Business: Pam Haynes PHaynes@hpe.com (336) 888-3617

Money mystery Regulators scour trades for clues to market plunge NEW YORK (AP) – Regulators and Wall Street officials scoured millions of trades one by one Friday and canceled thousands as they sought to explain a record plunge in the stock market, undo the damage and keep it from happening again. It wasn’t clear how long the laborious process would take or if it would even solve the mystery behind Thursday’s harrowing trad-

ing session that saw the Dow Jones industrial average fall hundreds of points and then recover, all in a matter of minutes. The chaotic slide – some stocks briefly fell to near zero – brought back memories of the darkest days of the financial crisis. The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission were investigating but on the day after, there were more questions than answers: • Did a single trader mistakenly punch in the wrong number of shares when making a sell order, maybe mistyping “billion” instead of “million” and setting off a marketwide panic that at one point pulled the Dow down almost 1,000 points? • Did high-speed computerized

trading systems that are supposed to make markets work smoothly go haywire, sending stocks into a nosedive? • Most important to anyone with money in the stock market: Could it happen again? Maybe the scariest part was that no one could unravel what happened. That left executives at the major stock exchanges pointing fingers at each other, and the public wondering if the hidden world of high-frequency, computerized trading that fed the panic posed a threat to their 401(k)s. “It could be awhile before they figure it out because they have to sift through everything trade by trade,” said San Diego State University finance professor Dan

Seiver, who has followed the markets for 52 years. “And humans are a lot slower than machines.” High-frequency trading uses mathematical models and computers to buy and sell huge numbers of shares in milliseconds. It accounts for twothirds of all stock trading in the U.S., and proponents say it makes the stock market run more smoothly by efficiently connecting buyers and sellers. One theory for Thursday’s decline was that high-frequency traders pulled out of the market briefly. But Jeff Wecker, chief executive of Lime Brokerage, said his high-frequency clients bought and sold stocks more during the steepest drop. “They’re the reason the market rebounded as rapidly as it did,” he said.

Unlikely combination successful for couple

ple eventually learned how to operate a salon as well, filling its booths with three stylists. The business, which experienced its best first quarter this year, is now divided into three parts – a boutique with bags and small gift items, a graphic design office and a salon. Printing specialized T-shirts is a large portion of the business, Gregg said, and there is no minimum order requirement. “There is a lot of teamwork involved,” Gregg

said. “We each have our own special niche, you might say.” Now the unlikely combination of businesses operates smoothly with opportunities for growth in the future. “The most rewarding part is just when we see a happy customer,” Gregg said. “Being able to be creative has been very rewarding, but making a customer happy with your creativity is very rewarding.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

THOMASVILLE – A hair salon and a graphic design office may not seem a like a likely pair. But inside the building that houses Gregg’s Graphics Inc. and Hair It Is salon on Cedar Lodge Road in Thomasville, hair stylists cut and style while Gregg and Terri Sprinkle design T-shirts, business cards and other promotional pieces and embroider bags. “If you really think about it, there’s something here for everyone,” said Sprinkle. “From shirts and haircuts to purses and wallets or business cards, we do a little bit of everything.” The unexpected combination of businesses was just that for the couple – unexpected. The original business plan was for the couple to operate the graphic design office while Terri’s sister, Deanie DeHart, an experienced Great Clips manager, would operate the salon. They had planned to share the space and work side by side as a family. Tragedy struck four days after the salon and graphic design office opened in April 2007, however. The shop opened on a Tuesday, and DeHart died of a heart attack on Friday. “I still get choked up when I talk about it,” Terri said. Losing DeHart left the Sprinkles with a lot of grief. It also left the business’s future in question. Who would operate the sa-

the size and cost of electronic gadgets. Apple had already responded with its own infringement claims against Nokia. Lawsuits over patent rights are common in the technology industry. They can take years to resolve and often end with some kind of licensing agreement. In the meantime, consumers should be able to buy the Apple or Nokia products in question.

Apple has also sued Taiwan’s HTC Corp., one of the leading producers of cell phones that run on Google Inc.’s Android software, a potential challenger to Apple’s popular iPhone. Apple says HTC’s Android phones violate iPhone patents. The legal disputes come amid increasing competition in the fast-growing market for smartphones. Nokia is the world’s biggest cell phone maker,

though it is more dominant in Asia and Europe. In the U.S., it faces intense competition from the iPhone and Research in Motion Ltd.’s BlackBerrys. Nokia’s latest lawsuit targets the iPhone and the iPad 3G, the version of the device that can connect to the Web using cell phone networks.

Apple spokesman Steve Dowling declined to comment on the new case.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) – President Hugo Chavez is tops on Twitter in Venezuela less than 2 weeks after launching his account, surpassing Internet-savvy foes who dominate the social networking site and use it to oppose him. Chavez’s account, “chavezcandanga,” had racked up more than 237,000 followers as of Saturday morning – besting the 234,000 who receive tweets from Globovision, the only TV channel that remains critical of the socialist leader. In recent televised appearances, Chavez has trumpeted the meteoric rise of his Twitter popularity while downplaying the critical, often disparaging messages he receives. “Some criticize me, others insult me. I don’t care,” he said. “It’s a form of contact with the world.” The president joined Twitter on April 27 in an attempt to counter adversaries who have actively used the site to make accusations of human rights violations, organize protests and – above all – ridicule Chavez. He urged supporters to join as well, calling Twitter “a weapon that also needs to be used by the revolution.”

Be alert to nurture changes in work BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

The recession has compelled millions of employees to rethink their places at work, although for some, changes evolve by increased awareness and personal interest. Once employees have begun to reshape their work, how do they measure whether something new is effective? Tim Gaddis manages the Cheese Department of a retail store and four restaurants at metro Atlanta’s Star Provisions. His job involves ordering 150 cheeses for cooking or cheese plates, managing two employees and, at the restaurants, “talking to customers and training wait staff supervisors,” he says. “I’m constantly trying to find another way to get people in the store.” Architect Betsy del Monte, principal and director of Sustainability at the Dallas headquarters of Beck Architecture L.L.C., moved slowly into sustainability as she “became more concerned about the impact of the projects on the communities,” and as the market required fewer new buildings. Her professional growth reflects evolving personal interests.

EXPANSION

SPECIAL | WORKWISE FEATURES

Tim Gaddis, known as “Tim the Cheeseman,” slices cheese at Star Provisions in Atlanta, where he manages the cheese department in several facilities.

It’s one thing to have an idea – in Gaddis’ case, to increase customer exposure and, in del Monte’s, to be interested in a developing trend and integrating it into an organization – and another to implement it. Gaddis

learned from his wife, an attorney, about using social media to attract customers. The fact that doing so is cost-free and didn’t seem to have many risks made it attractive to try. Gaddis went by Tim the Cheeseman. He became fully-engaged on Twitter, initially, “paying attention to replies and re-tweets,” he recalls. “People are walking in the store a couple of times a week asking, ‘Are you Tim the Cheeseman?’ And that’s just the ones who announce themselves.” In 2006, del Monte found that her internal sustainability projects were leading to projects with others in her profession, including competitors, contractors and developers. She was promoted from principal to her current title late in 2007. Meanwhile, she kept referring clients and potential clients to environmental scientists or management consultants that offered Enterprise Sustainability Assessment for existing buildings. The following year, her own firm began accepting these projects, which involved “analyzing the operational efficiencies in an organization’s use of resources,” such as: • energy, water and materials; • the powering of vehicles, such as school buses and golf carts; • purchasing of recycled paper and printing double-sided; and • food service delivery, whether on Styrofoam and platters. Sustainability now supports three full-time people, a person on contract, as needed, and a

summer intern. The use of Twitter inspired Gaddis to manage a page on Facebook, which draws about 50 percent of any one event’s attendees. “I see some increases in sales from a year ago,” he says. “I kind of blew Twitter off as being a teenage, early 20s kind of thing. The turning point was standing in the cheese room with a BlackBerry when I was showing an employee how Twitter works. At that moment, someone walked in and said, ‘I was in line for a sandwich and read the post on my iPhone.’ ” She bought the cheese. Gaddis posts three tweets a day about such developments as a new cheese or stock vanishing from the shelves. Gaddis learned that you need to “be open to lots of new things.” Del Monte advises you to look within: “By really paying attention to what you’re interested in and what’s important – instead of things people think you should be doing – you’re probably going to be more successful at it. If you think there’s a need and a market, then there probably is.” Of course, neither Gaddis nor del Monte had to get the buyin from anyone else, because they manage their own areas. If they had, the changes might not have evolved as smoothly, in the same way or even at all. DR. MILDRED L. CULP, Workwise Features, is an award-winning journalist.

WHO’S NEWS

The sun sets over the track during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Showtime Southern 500 auto race at the Darlington Raceway during the early stages of Saturday night’s event.

Darlington remains unique C

arved from what was once a cotton and peanut field and built smaller at one end to avoid a minnow pond 60 years ago, Darlington Raceway is far from the most glamorous facility that NASCAR’s premier series visits. Stunted by 20 years of nongrowth and little improvement under private ownership from the 1960s into the ’80s before its sale to International Speedway Corporation, the historic track fell behind the times – its facilities unable to keep up with renovation and improvements at places such as Charlotte Motor Speedway. The years of stagnation, which included no appreciable seating expansion, still prevents the place from paying anything close to the top purse on the circuit. The track’s location in rural South Carolina can’t compare with Las Vegas, Atlanta or Phoenix. What it does have going for it is history going back to the early days of stock-car racing and arguably being the toughest test of driving skill that is something akin to driving on a one-lane road at 160-to-180 miles an hour. Back in the day, when qualifying was spread out over at least

two days, the place was regarded as so treacherous rookies weren’t allowed to qualify on the first day and were required to attend a meeting in which SPORTS they were lectured on the trouble lurkGreer ing around each Smith bend. ■■■ “When I got the first opportunity to race here, that was when they used to have a rookie orientation meeting and they used to scare the hell out of you,” said Jeff Burton, who made his first Darlington start on the Cup level in 1994. “They would show you videos of stuff and tell you that you were essentially stupid for even being here and then they would say ‘here are the keys to the car, go drive it.’ It was pretty fascinating. They don’t do it like that anymore, but it used to be that they would intentionally scare you. I found that quite appealing.” The margin between a fast lap and a bent-up car looked scary as cars skated through turns three and four while drifting just a few feet from the outside wall. The margin for error was narrow as drivers ran three-wide on the

Hamlin savors third straight Nationwide win at Darlington. 3D backstretch before eventually, one would run out of nerve and yield to the other two. Drivers were wary of the dangers, so they filtered down to single-file order in just a few laps after the start. Why risk a wreck with a little under 500 miles to go? They didn’t take long to find trouble Saturday evening. Within a matter of a few laps, cars started scraping the walls, leaving tell-tale black marks over the red and white paint. Reed Sorenson was one of the first to bounce off the barrier and go to the garage. Jimmie Johnson got away with minor damage when he almost lost control and got sideways on lap 30. Michael McDowell caused the first caution of the night when he scraped the wall and left debris on lap 45. Jeff Gordon and Brian Vickers bumped racing for second on the restart, bending one of Vickers’ fenders. Bobby Labonte scraped the wall and then spun in turn two on lap 52, seconds before Joey Logano

spun off turn four. A few laps later, Paul Menard spun in turn two after getting help from Tony Stewart. On lap 83, Greg Biffle lost control, starting a turn four wreck that Martin Truex and Jimmie Johnson couldn’t avoid. A wild start, yes. But that’s Darlington. The difficulty and the history is not lost on drivers. Some tracks may pay more money, but the challenge makes a Darlington victory one of the most rewarding on the circuit. “I’d say it’s probably third, fourth or fifth,” Jeff Gordon said on Friday. “You’ve got Daytona, Indy, I think Bristol and Charlotte are right up there, as well as Darlington. The history of this place and how challenging this track is might even make it right there in third.” Gordon should know since he entered Saturday night with seven Darlington wins, the most among active drivers, and went past Cale Yarborough for fifth place in most laps led at the “Lady in Black.” Darlington may not be the most beautiful place in big-time auto racing, but proves that at some places, beauty is only skin deep. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Westwood tops crowded Players leaderboard PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) – A scrambling par on the final hole allowed Lee Westwood to keep the one-shot lead that he started with Saturday at The Players Championship. Only now he has a lot more company. Masters champion Phil Mickelson suddenly is back in the picture, along with that No. 1 ranking. Tiger Woods is not. Westwood, who fell two shots behind with six holes left in the third round, avoided the kind of

mistakes on the back nine that slowed Heath Slocum and finished with a 2-under 70 to take a oneshot lead over Robert Allenby going Westwood into the final round on the always unpredictable TPC Sawgrass. Allenby was five shots behind when he walked off the 13th tee. He answered with a 6-iron to just outside 12 feet on the par-5 16th for eagle, then a 12-foot birdie on the

island-green 17th that curled into the side of the cup. He shot a 67 and will play in the final group. Westwood was at 14-under 202. Lefty began the day nine shots out of the lead, same as Woods. They went opposite directions, however. Mickelson didn’t make a bogey until the final hole for a 66 to put himself back into the picture, just five shots behind Westwood. The 10 players ahead of him have a combined 14 victories on the PGA Tour. “I feel like things started to

click a little bit today, and I think I’ve got one more low round in me,” Mickelson said. “I just hope that it will be enough, that I’ll be within striking distance.” To reach No. 1 for the first time in his career, Mickelson has to win and have Woods finish out of the top five. Woods did hit part with a bogey-bogey finish for a 71 that put him 10 shots behind in a tie for 45th. His final bogey came after Woods popped up another 3wood and had to hit fairway metal to the green.

HIT AND RUN

---

arlington Raceway’s lone remaining race in May is known as the Southern 500, but it will never be the same as the classic race held on Labor Day weekend from 1950 through 2003. With temperatures hovering in the low 90s across South Carolina’s Pee Dee region, the feel at the “Lady in Black” on Saturday was more like September than the second weekend in May. Only a slight breeze that was blowing and low humidity kept the day from having that old Southern 500 atmosphere as crewmen

scurried across the worn, rock-filled asphalt to work on cars under long sheds that were the standard garage area coverings 30 years ago and light years behind the enclosed buildings that house cars at some tracks today. Even though grandstands and parking have been added, the current frontstretch was once the backstretch and some facilities and a few infield tunnels have closed, driving into the track brings back the same feel as it did 20 years ago. For all the window dressing, the place is

the same old narrow dinosaur that it has been for most of its history. That’s the charm of Darlington for all of its warts. The challenge for the drivers is the same as it has always been, even though the place was built when cars ran more like 80 miles an hour than 180 miles an hour. With ties to the early days, how appropriate the Southern 500 falls as the last race before the opening of the NASCAR Hall of Fame on Tuesday.

Former High Point Christian Academy standout Conner Scarborough is the scheduled starter for GardnerWebb in today’s series finale at High Point University. First pitch is slated for 1 p.m. at Williard Stadium. One year removed from leading the Cougars to a state title, the right-hander is a front-line starter for G-W. He got his first college win last month in the Triad, working seven shutout innings against N.C. A&T. A large number of fans from the High Point Christian community is expected to attend the game to cheer on Scarborough.

Last season, his first with the Yankees, he led the Teixeira American League with 122 RBIs and tied Carlos Pena of Tampa Bay for first with 39 homers. Cervelli made his fourth straight start in place of catcher Jorge Posada, who said before the game his strained right calf muscle feels much better but manager Joe Girardi resisted his pleas to play. Cervelli singled in a run that tied the score 3-all in the third, hit a two-run single in the fourth that put the Yankees ahead 6-3 then capped a four-run eighth that made it 12-3. Alfredo Aceves (3-0) relieved CC Sabathia with two outs in the bottom of the fifth after a rain delay of 1 hour, 14 minutes. Clay Buchholz (3-3) allowed six runs in five innings for Boston.

BOSTON – Mark Teixeira joined Lou Gehrig as the only Yankees to hit three home runs in one game against the Boston Red Sox, and he and Francisco Cervelli drove in five runs each as New York clinched another series with a 14-3 win Saturday. The Yankees have won nine of their first 10 series this season, a mark surpassed only twice in team history. They won 14 of their first 15 in 1928 and 11 of their first 12 in 1939. The three-game set began with a 10-3 win Friday night and ends tonight when unbeaten A.J. Burnett faces Boston’s Jon Lester. Teixeira hit solo homers in the fifth and seventh, then hit a tworun shot far over the left field wall in the eighth off outfielder Jonathan Van Every, who last pitched on April 30, 2009, for Boston. He now has five homers this season after hitting three for the third time in his career. Gehrig hit three homers for New York on June 23, 1927, according to STATS LLC.

Cabrera’s bases-loaded line drive off Kerry Wood (0-1) broke a 3-3 tie and Detroit went on to win its 10th consecutive game against the Indians. The Tigers are 18-4 in the series over the past two years, outscoring Cleveland 116-79. Justin Verlander (3-2) gave up three runs over six innings, striking out nine. A year ago, the right-hander was 4-0 with a 0.90 ERA and three games of 11 strikeouts against Cleveland. Joel Zumaya pitched two innings and Jose Valverde worked the ninth for his eighth save.

first-inning lead against Jeremy Guthrie (1-4). But the Orioles still handed Liriano (4-1) his first loss with an abundance of well-placed singles. The American League Pitcher of the Month for April lasted through the sixth, but after 17 scoreless innings to start his experience at Minnesota’s new ballpark, the left-hander couldn’t close the third inning or the fourth before damage was done.

ATHLETICS 4, RAYS 2 OAKLAND, Calif. – Ben Sheets finally pitched like an ace, Daric Barton drove in a pair of runs and the Oakland Athletics beat Tampa Bay 4-2 on Saturday to give the Rays their second road loss of the season. Sheets (2-3) scattered four hits over 61⁄3 innings and had a seasonhigh eight strikeouts in his most impressive start of the year. Sheets signed a $10 million, oneyear contract in the offseason, but had allowed 17 runs in only 71⁄3 innings covering his last two starts. Andrew Bailey pitched the ninth for his sixth save in six tries.

Schultz, Panthers subdue Runnin’ Bulldogs SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HIGH POINT – Freshman Jaime Schultz won his second consecutive start, holding Gardner-Webb to one hit in five innings to lead the High Point University baseball team to a 7-2 win over the Runnin’ Bulldogs on Saturday night at Williard Stadium. “Today we just figured out a way to win,” said HPU head coach Craig Cozart. “Our timing is still off, offensively, but we got enough outs on the mound and put ourselves in a position to win. Every day we are out here our timing and rhythm will come back. Hopefully tomorrow we can come out and win the series.” Schultz pitched five innings, allowing just one hit with seven strikeouts to improve to 4-0 on the season. Schultz struck out the side in the first inning and allowed his only hit

in the second inning, a leadoff home run to shortstop Aaron Miller. His seven strikeouts tie his career high. He has recorded seven strikeouts in an outing three times this season, including his last start against UNC Asheville. Schultz also walked seven Gardner-Webb batters. “I struggled to throw strikes but my defense really stepped up behind me and I got outs,” Schultz said. “I felt good about my curve ball which really helped tonight and now I need to work on my efficiency. I have to go more than five innings on 100 pitches.” HPU took the lead with a four-run fourth inning. Nate Roberts and Kyle Mahoney were hit by pitches and came around to score with Max Fulginiti and Steve Antolik picking up RBI singles. High Point has been hit by 103 pitches this

season. The Big South record is 119 set by VMI in 2006. HPU added a run in the fifth inning. Max Fulginiti singled to lead off the inning and came around to score on single by Murray White IV went 2-3 with an RBI and a run scored to go with two walks for the night. Brian Jones pitched 21⁄3 innings of relief, allowing one run on three hits. Spencer Andrews and Al Yevoli came in to get one out in the eighth inning before the ball was turned over to Mikel Rodenberg in the ninth. Rodenberg kept GWU off the scoreboard to give HPU the 7-2 win. HPU (23-24, 9-11 Big South) and GardnerWebb (22-24, 8-12 Big South) will play the final game of the series today at 1 p.m. Seniors Matt Gantner, Max Fulginiti, Pablo Rosario and Jamie Serber will be honored before the game.

ATLANTA (AP) – Orlando keeps on winning, even when Dwight Howard doesn’t stand out. One more Magic victory will finish off the Atlanta Hawks. Rashard Lewis scored 22 points and the backups helped Orlando pull away early with Howard on the bench as the Magic romped to another playoff blowout, moving to the brink of their second straight sweep with a 105-75 victory over the Hawks on Saturday. Howard had 21 points and 16 rebounds but was hardly dominating. No problem for the Magic, who have so many complements to Superman and allowed many of them to shine in Orlando’s seventh straight postseason victory and 13th straight win overall. Lewis knocked down four 3-pointers. Jameer Nelson scored 14 points. Mickael Pietrus chipped in with 13, hitting three shots from outside the arc. Marcin Gortat, Howard’s backup, grabbed six rebounds in less than 10 minutes. All 10 Orlando players who got on the court made it to the scoresheet. The Magic are up 30 in the best-of-seven series, winning by an average margin of 29 points. Game 4 is Monday night, and about all the Hawks are playing for is pride. No NBA team has ever come back from such a daunting deficit, and the challenge looks even greater considering how well the Magic are playing. Atlanta never led in this one and was trailing 24-16 when Howard picked up his second foul with 1:45 left in the opening quarter. Even with its big man on the bench, Orlando just kept adding to it lead. Lewis hit a jumper and Gortat flew through the lane for a dunk that gave the Magic a 28-18 lead after one period. The Hawks never got the margin under double figures again.

Suns enjoy 3-0 series cushion SAN ANTONIO (AP) – Hungry after taking a 3-0 lead on the San Antonio Spurs with a fifth straight playoff win, the Phoenix Suns ate dinner early Saturday at one of the few places they could find open. “Hard Rock,” Grant Hill said. “We didn’t have many options that late.” At least they firmly control what really matters. The Suns returned to the AT&T Center for practice Saturday every bit as relaxed as the night before, when general manager Steve Kerr was comparing Goran Dragic with Michael Jordan and Phoenix left with its most commanding playoff series lead in five years. No team in the NBA playoffs has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit. Game 4 is tonight. “Everybody’s surprised,” said the Spurs’ Tony Parker. “We’re in a bad situation and it doesn’t look good.”

Hamlin edges teammate Busch for win in 200

Denny Hamlin raises the trophy in victory lane after winning the NASCAR Nationwide series Royal Purple 200 at the Darlington Raceway late Friday night.

DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) – Denny Hamlin doesn’t care which Kyle Busch he beat at Darlington Raceway on Friday night. Hamlin pulled away from Busch over the final five laps late Friday night to take the Royal Purple 200, his third straight Nationwide series victory at the track. Earlier, Hamlin playfully shot down Busch’s contention from last week that he was the “new and improved Kyle Busch” who persevered to win at Richmond. Busch almost did it again this time, sliding to about a half-car length ahead of Hamlin on the final restart before falling back in line behind his friend. “I talked to him over the radio,” Hamlin said. “I said, ’Is this the new Kyle or the old Kyle?”’ Beating any Kyle Busch is a challenge in itself. “He is so good on restarts, it’s hard to hold him off,” Hamlin said. “I knew that I could just hold him off for one lap, we could clear him.” Hamlin and first-year crew chief Kevin Kidd did just that. It was Hamlin’s third victory in his last three Nationwide starts at Darlington after taking the checkered flag in 2006 and 2007. Hamlin wrecked in qualifying to miss the 2008 event, then sat out last season. “I could’ve been working on a fourpeat,” Hamlin joked. Like those two earlier Darlington wins, Hamlin started from the pole and led much of the race. Still, it was a side-by-side drag race with Busch on the last restart. Busch looked as if he had the stuff to prevail

but was outgunned by Hamlin’s Toyota. “I think we were a little bit better than the 20 (Hamlin) was, but it showed how pivotal clean air is out here,” said Busch, who held on for second. As for which Busch is which, he said, “I’ve gotten a lot of play off that from last week, so that’s all that matters.” Jamie McMurray, the pole winner earlier Friday for the Sprint Cup Southern 500, finished third. For Hamlin, it was his 10th Nationwide win in 121 starts. Hamlin got a line on this victory with his qualifying run earlier Friday. He took advantage of the pristine air out front to stay there, leading 111 of 147 laps. “It’s an overwhelming feeling to win at a place like this,” Kidd said. Plus, Hamlin’s prime position kept him free from another wreck-filled Darlington effort. Matt Kenseth, last year’s winner here, wrecked twice and took perhaps the hardest hit when the slammed the inside wall along. However, he waved to the crowd as he jumped in the ambulance for the routine check at the infield care center. There were nine caution periods – one short of Darlington’s Nationwide record, last accomplished a year ago. Kasey Kahne was fourth, followed by Jason Leffler, Carl Edwards and series points leader Brad Keselowski. Kevin Harvick, Brian Vickers and Paul Menard rounded out the top 10. Hamlin is still feeling the effects of surgery to repair the ACL in his left knee. The Nationwide event ended a long day of Sprint Cup practice and qualifying.

McMurray pays homage to France Jr. BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

DARLINGTON, S.C. – Pole-sitter Jamie McMurray carried a decal on the back of his Chevrolet that heralded the upcoming induction of former NASCAR leader Bill France Jr. into the NASCAR Hall of Fame. The decal had special meaning for one of McMurray’s car owners, Felix Sabates, who was a close friend of France. “I had a special relationship with Bill,” Sabates said. “I learned a lot of things from him.” McMurray, who became a Cup driver in 2002 as France began taking a less

public role, admitted he had very little association with France. “I still have a picture from 1996 or 1997,” McMurray said. “I went to the NASCAR weekly track banquet and Bill was there. He was fairly intimidating. So I told my mom or my dad, ‘I’m going to walk up behind him and you take my picture.’ I’ve got a photo of me about two feet behind him and he is not paying any attention to me.” NASCAR spokesman Jim Hunter, who is recovering from small-cell lung cancer, said France’s association with Darlington goes back to its opening in 1950. “Bill loved to tell the story about the

Slocum gets to 15 under, then fades at Players PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) – Heath Slocum got lower than anyone at The Players Championship on Saturday. He just didn’t stay there long. Minutes after getting to 15 under in the third round, Slocum gave back several strokes and tumbled down the leaderboard. When it was over, Slocum tried to stay positive, pointing out that he’s still in contention for his fourth PGA Tour victory. “I didn’t end the round like I wanted to, but I feel like I’m at least still in it,” he said. Slocum shot even par in the third round and remained at 11-under 205, three strokes behind leader Lee Westwood and in a four-way tie for sixth. Slocum birdied Nos. 9, 11 and 12 – he stuck an approach shot to 3 feet to start the run, then made a 14-foot putt and a 10-footer – and saved par on No. 10 with a 15-footer. He was leading the way after that fourhole stretch, but then his round unraveled. He had poor tee shots at Nos. 13 and 15, leading to a pair of bogeys, then yanked his tee shot into the water at the famed par-3 17th and wound up with a double. He regrouped by hitting one of his better drives of the day at the finishing hole. He followed that with an approach shot to 10 feet, but just missed his birdie putt. “I feel like I got it out of my head, and it’s just time to move forward,” he said. “I’ll go out tomorrow with the same kind of attitude I had today. ... I would like to have had a few more shots with me, but that’s what I have so I’ll just go out tomorrow and make some birdies.”

long to No. 1. Kiss it goodbye.” The kid wasn’t subdued by a Taser or removed from TPC Sawgrass. Woods, meanwhile, showed no reaction. He was more concerned with getting back on track after another mediocre round. “I hit more good shots today than I have all week,” said Woods, who shot a 1-under 71 that left him at 4-under 212. “So you don’t turn this thing around overnight and then just go out there and play great golf. This is a process, especially since I haven’t played at all. I just need more rounds. Luckily I’ve got two rounds on the weekend.” Mickelson has a chance to go to No. 1 in the world for the first time in his career, provided he wins and Woods finishes out of the top five. Mickelson shot a 6-under 66, moved to 9-under 207 and heads into the final round five strokes behind leader Lee Westwood. “I felt like things started to click a little bit today, and I think I’ve got one more low round in me,” Mickelson said. “I just hope that it will be enough, that I’ll be within striking distance.”

People would come up and ask for a flavor and he would say, ‘all I have is plain.’ ” As for McMurray’s pole run, Sabates said: “I think Bill was steering the car and Jamie was along for the ride.” McMurray gave up the lead to second-starting Jeff Gordon at the start but came back to lead 38 laps early.

Labonte scraped the wall and had dropped to the rear of the field when he spun in turn two on lap 52. No caution waved, but the yellow came out second later when Joey Logano broke loose off turn four. Labonte also hit the pit road commitment line cone coming into the pits on lap 143.

Kevin Stadler made a big splash at the par-4 18th, giving the raucous crowd surrounding the tee box something to cheer about. Stadler pulled his tee shot left into the water, did the same thing with his next shot and then tossed his 3-wood so far into the murky lagoon that it wasn’t even retrievable. “We went nuts,” said onlooker Jason Thomas of Jacksonville. “It was awesome.” Stadler quickly dropped again and pushed his third shot right.

3A REGIONALS

The Ledford tennis team huddles before its playoff match with Northern Guilford last week.

Never a dull moment for Ledford tennis W

in or lose, Ledford’s tennis team always enjoyed its perennial battles with conference and state powers Salisbury and Lexington. Those went away this year when the Panthers shifted from the Central Carolina 2A Conference to the Mid-Piedmont 3A. The move up in classification also meant a harder road in the postseason, as the Panthers found out Tuesday in a painful 5-4 first-round loss to Northern Guilford. “I think we had a better team this year, but we just couldn’t make it as far because we stepped up to 3A and that made it a little more difficult,” senior Jay Buchanan said. “But we had a good team and a fun year. It’s been good to see us keep it up.” Ledford only lost four dual-team matches all spring with a team that featured three seniors – Josh Edwards at No. 3, Buchanan at No. 5 and David McSwaim at No. 6 – and plenty of returning talent. Junior Landon Rogers will be back at No. 1 next year, junior Thomas Edwards figures to move up from No. 4, and freshman Rick Ydrovo was a force in his rookie campaign on the second court. “I just met them and now I’m really close with the team, part of the family,” Ydrovo said of being able to play so well as a freshman. “Everybody just treats everybody like family and we’re all close, and it makes me feel good that I’m now part of the team. I can tell the next three years I’m going to have a good time playing tennis for Ledford.” The family connection, of course, does not include the Edwards boys.

While mistaken for brothers throughout their Panther careers, it’s “just a SPORTS funny coincidence,” Steve Thomas Hanf explained. ■■■ “One’s hairier than the other,” chimed in a laughing Rogers. No arguing that point. Josh Edwards sports a full, thick beard that has helped him stand out for quite a while. “He has,” Thomas Edwards agreed, piling on with Rogers. “Since about fourth grade.” It’s about more than wins and losses for the Panthers, who have plenty of fun on the courts under the leadership of coaches Chris Doby and Randy Grimes. What’s it like playing for the animated Grimes? “It’s always fun and interesting,” Thomas Edwards said. “You never know what to expect.” Like that two-hour practice in the rain, which involved running some 30 laps around the courts – after a 9-0 win the day before. “He is by far the craziest man I have ever been around,” Rogers offered with a laugh. “He teaches a very good morality on how to succeed in life.” Over the years, Ledford has enjoyed plenty of success on the courts, as well. That’s what made this year’s early exit from the playoffs so disappointing after a deep run last spring. “Once we had not as much competition, we got used to not having to be at our greatest to succeed,” Rogers explained.

“When we had to play tough teams, it was tough to stay focused.” The Panthers fell twice to strong 4A squad Southwest Guilford. Other than that, practices proved to be some of the toughest competition around. In the MPC Tournament, Thomas Edwards and Rogers ended up facing each other in the championship match. “It was a lot of fun to play each other in the conference tournament,” Rogers said. “We’ve been playing together since we were like 8. Unfortunate ending...” For him. Rogers didn’t mind the 8-3 win, and said beating a teammate wasn’t as difficult a task as some might think. “It wasn’t weird for me. I play friends all the time in USTA,” he said of the junior tournament circuit. “It was actually more fun than most finals because we joked around a little bit.” Added Edwards: “It was more relaxed.” Rogers now is the last Panther standing. At this weekend’s Mideast Regional, Thomas Edwards won his first singles match before bowing out in Round 2, and Buchanan and Ydrovo did the same in doubles play. Rogers, meanwhile, didn’t drop a game in Friday’s first two rounds and bounced back from a loss Saturday morning to finish third in the region. He’ll play in the finals next weekend. “I’d like to get a state championship,” Rogers said. “I think that would have happened this year if I was still in 2A, but I have a lot of friends in 3A, so I’ll have fun and see how it goes.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Five years of frustration pays off M

y old fishing buddy, Austin Caviness of WXII Channel 12, called this week and reported he finally got his turkey. Austin and I have cooked, hunted, sighted-in rifles and fished together over the last year or so. He does the weekly Austin Outdoors segment every Friday about 5:45 on WXII as well as covering the weather desk on the morning news. His story was so animated, I decided to share it. Austin and Mike Helsabeck, a local wildlife artist originally from High Point, hunted in Davidson County in the Linwood area. When I asked the exact location, Caviness was cagey and described it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a safe enough distance SPORTS from Lexington that the smell of barbeque didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overpower my desire to Dick hunt.â&#x20AC;? In typical meteorologist fashion, Jones Caviness described the morning as â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; beautiful and clear with some light, patchy frost. Helsabeck and Caviness walked into the woods at 5:40 a.m. Helsabeck had a good idea of where the turkeys were roosting and they set up on the edge of a field. At about 6:15, there was an unexplained gust of wind in the trees behind them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lord, is this your way of telling me that today is my day to get a turkey after all this time?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; After struggling for five years to get a turkey, maybe todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the day,â&#x20AC;? Caviness said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly, the turkey gobbled three seconds later. When the gobble sounded, Helsabeck did just a couple of purrs on the slate. The turkey gobbled, but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sound really hot.â&#x20AC;? The gobble had revealed his exact position and Helsabeck decided his position might be too exposed. He moved around behind Caviness. At that point, the two hunters couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see each other or see from the same perspective. The gobbling accelerated and he got with a hen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We guessed the gobbler and hen were having a romantic interlude and all was quiet for about 10 minutes,â&#x20AC;? Caviness chuckled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;About that time, things got confusing as two more birds came off the roost and landed in the field in front of us. I lost sight of them because the grass was so high.â&#x20AC;?

MIKE HELSABECK

---

WHEN HEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S NOT guiding Austin on turkey hunts, Mike Helsabeck is one of North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading wildlife artists. In addition to being selected for the cover of the NCWRC 25th Anniversary calendar â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his second consecutive appearance on the cover â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Helsabeck was also chosen for the second straight year as NC Ducks Unlimitedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Artist of the Year. His wildlife works have helped raise money for The NC Wildlife Habitat Fund, The National Wild Turkey Federation and NC Waterfowl, and his paintings have been featured by the outdoor retail giant Bass Pro Shops. Add to that the television appearances, features in magazines and newspapers from all over the state and being selected to paint the GMAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100th anniversary painting of Greensboro, and you can see why some in the art world are already comparing him to fellow Lexingtonian Bob Timberlake. For more information on Mike, go to mikehelsabeck. com. Caviness was excited, but Helsabeck advised him to be patient. Both hunters now had concerns the first gobbler might approach them from behind since heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been quiet since the encounter with the hen. Mike waited, totally still for about 10 minutes, and then made a couple of box calls. There was no response. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was starting to lose faith,â&#x20AC;? Caviness remembered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was beginning to think I might get skunked again. I was doing something a weatherman should never do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I was doubting my forecast.â&#x20AC;? Finally, even Helsabeck was beginning to lose patience, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get him,â&#x20AC;? he said and shook the gobble call. The first turkey cut him off with his own gobble and Helsabeck whispered, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get ready.â&#x20AC;? Caviness raised his left leg to support the gun and soon saw a big, tall, redhead come over the horizon of the field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been practicing with Todd Leinbach on shots from 50 to 20 yards and I was sure I could put the pellets on that head at the distance the bird was when he came into view, and he was coming fast,â&#x20AC;? Caviness said. Then, the turkey stopped. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looked like he was

thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Uh oh â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I might have messed up here.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I made the decision, after all these years of something going wrong, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to mess up this time.â&#x20AC;? Caviness whispered, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to nail him.â&#x20AC;? Helsabeck whispered, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wait a second.â&#x20AC;? Boom! Too late, the shot was off. When the pair stood, there were four birds that got up in front and about a dozen from the rear, including the big tom that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d heard earlier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My turkey wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as big as the one that got up behind us, but he was a trophy to me,â&#x20AC;? Caviness chuckled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I turned around and gave Mike a big bear hug. Mike was disappointed and said we should have waited for the big tom, but I was happy. I saw my shot and I took it.â&#x20AC;? Caviness became serious, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a lot of people try to help me get a turkey and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thankful for all of them. Several names come to mind, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss mentioning anyone. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so grateful for all the help Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten.â&#x20AC;?

Webber leads Red Bull 1-2 in Spanish GP qualifying BARCELONA, Spain (AP) – Mark Webber claimed his second pole position of the Formula One season on Saturday, leading a Red Bull 1-2 at the Spanish Grand Prix. Ferrari was fined $20,000 after Fernando Alonso nearly collided with Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg during qualifying. Alonso pulled out of Ferrari’s garage and almost drove straight into Rosberg as they both left the pit lane. Webber secured Red Bull’s fifth straight start from first place on the grid with a lap time of 1 minute, 19.995 seconds at the Circuit de Catalunya. Sebastian Vettel trailed for the Austrian team’s third 1-2 start of the season. Lewis Hamilton of McLaren will start third ahead of Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso, while overall F1 leader Jenson Button was fifth. Michael Schumacher will start from a season-high sixth spot, ahead of Renault’s Robert Kubica and Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg. The last nine Spanish GP winners have come from the pole position. No team has been able to compete with Red Bull’s pace in qualifying for the first four races and it was the same story Saturday. “Normally it’s a good battle all the way

through qualifying, but today I had two solid laps and it was nice to go into the second lap knowing you’re ahead,” said Webber, who now has career poles. “The work in the car is now translating into lap times.” Vettel has qualified first three times this season but has only won one race, coming from third place in Malaysia with Webber starting from pole position. The last nine Spanish GP winners have come from the pole. “We are enjoying ourselves, but obviously Mark wants to beat me and I want to beat Mark,” Vettel said. “But today he was not beatable.” Hamilton labeled McLaren “the best of the rest” and said his team’s race pace gives it a chance, while the possibility of rain could help the rest of the field. “I don’t think anyone expected them to be so fast this weekend. We expected them to be quick but there is a decent gap (to the field),” Hamilton said. “It’s great to be up there, so at least we can fight.” Red Bull must hope the reliability problems that have hurt it this season don’t reappear and give Webber a chance of getting into the title fight. “We’ve got to capitalize in the upcoming races,” said Webber, who is going for his second career victory.

KENTUCKY’S ORTON, BLEDSOE STAY IN NBA DRAFT

---

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) – Kentucky’s freshman exodus is complete. Guard Eric Bledsoe and center Daniel Orton said Saturday they’re going to remain in the NBA Draft rather than return for their sophomores seasons. They will join classmates John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins in the draft. Junior forward Patrick Patterson is also leaving school early to head to the NBA, leaving coach John Calipari with some major holes to fill heading into next season. Saturday was the deadline for underclassmen to remove their names from draft consideration. Bledsoe averaged 11.9 points in the backcourt alongside Wall, the Southeastern Conference Player of the Year. The 6-foot-1 Bledsoe made 49 3pointers and created one of the quickest guard combinations in the country with Wall. “I never thought I’d be ready for the NBA after one year,” Bledsoe said. “I worked hard to be able to have this choice. Coach Cal pushed me to be the best I could be, and I’m ready to take my game to the next level.” Orton spent most of the season as a reserve center behind Cousins. He averaged 3.4 points and 3.3 rebounds and was second on the team with 53 blocks. Orton called his season with the Wildcats a great experience but he’s ready to move on. The 6-10 Orton is considered raw offensively, but Calipari said he’d received calls from several NBA teams inquiring about Orton’s ability. “There are teams all over that first round that say we really like the guy,” Calipari said. Bledsoe and Orton were part of one of the greatest freshmen classes in recent memory, helping Kentucky go 35-3 and win the SEC regular season and conference tournament titles. Calipari has already begun the rebuilding process. The Wildcats have signed Florida high school star Brandon Knight and Turkish center Enes Kanter.

Larry Small enjoys hearing his wife, ToKhanh, play “The Marines’ Hymn” on the guitar.

From hate to love After almost dying there, Larry Small returned to Vietnam and came home a different man BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HOMASVILLE – Every morning, Cpl. Larry Small, USMC, wakes up with the reminders of how drastically Vietnam changed his life. The partial paralysis on his right side. The slurred speech. The intense, throbbing headaches, resulting from a bullet and shrapnel buried deep in his brain more than 40 years ago. Some days he’s confused, even to the point that he doesn’t recognize his wife. He once believed she was a stranger intent on poisoning his food. For decades, bitterness festered in Small’s soul and ate at his heart. “I hated Vietnam,” the 62-yearold Thomasville man says in his slurred, halting voice. “I didn’t like the people. I didn’t like nothing. I had a lot of bitterness in my heart.” And why shouldn’t he be bitter? Once a gifted athlete at East Davidson High School, where he was voted Most Athletic and Most Popular his senior year, Small had a world of potential ... until Vietnam changed his life. Why shouldn’t he be bitter? He was only 21 years old on that day in September 1969, when a Viet Cong ambush nearly killed him. There were probably days he wishes he had died in that godforsaken jungle. And yet today, some four de-

cades later, the bitterness Small once felt is as far removed from his heart as he is removed from the country itself. Ironically, one of the reasons for Small’s dramatic about-face is a pretty, diminutive South Vietnamese woman named ToKhanh (pronounced “toeCAN”), who is more than 20 years his junior. ToKhanh sleeps on cushions on the floor, next to the hospital bed in Small’s bedroom, so she can care for his every need. Her full name is ToKhanh Small – yes, she’s the old, wounded soldier’s wife – and she’s another one of those reminders he wakes up with every morning, reminding him how drastically Vietnam changed his life. **** SPECIAL | HPE

The first time Vietnam changed Larry’s life was in 1969, when he was a young soldier assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 9th Marines, in the jungles of Vietnam. On Sept. 25, 1969, Larry’s platoon walked into a Viet Cong ambush. Larry, walking point, took a bullet to the head from an AK-47 assault rifle. He lay paralyzed on the ground, unable to get up or yell for help. “If I could’ve got up, I’d have got killed, because I was behind a big ol’ tree,” he recalls. “It kept me alive.” Unfortunately, though, the bullet had blown the helmet off

Larry Small, an athlete and popular student at East Davidson High School, served in Vietnam in 1969. Small’s head, and small pieces of shrapnel lodged in his brain as he lay there. Bleeding and gasping, he drifted in and out of consciousness for a couple of hours before finally being carried from the battlefield and taken to a military hospital. Doctors gave Larry little chance of surviving – much less actually walking and talking – but after about a year of intense therapy, he returned home to his native Thomasville, a hero with a Purple Heart. And a bitter heart, too. Partially paralyzed on his right side, Larry limped noticeably, slurred his words and battled terrifying nightmares and horrendous headaches. Doctors predicted he would live another 10 years at the most. His marriage failed, and Larry grew even more bitter – not only toward Vietnam, but toward God. In 1972, when Larry hit rockbottom, he looked up and saw God, and his cold, hardened heart began to thaw. He got involved in church, served as a deacon, taught Sunday school

classes, spoke at church revivals and, eventually, began going on mission trips. He developed a passion for reaching the lost. Larry’s heart was no longer bitter – it was better. Or so he thought, until 1998, when he was invited on a mission trip to a land he’d been to decades earlier, only with a vastly different mission – Vietnam. **** “I didn’t know how bitter I still was until they asked me to go on that mission trip to Vietnam,” Larry says. “I thought I had buried it, and I thought there was no way I had any bitterness in my heart, but my heart was full of bitterness. All of those feelings came back, and I did not want to go back to Vietnam.” But he believed God wanted him to, so he eventually caved in and agreed to go. “I did a lot of praying and

The 4 millionth North Carolinian joined the state’s organ, eye and tissue donor registry in April, making the registry the 6th largest in the nation. Just over 30,000 North Carolinians joined the registry during March and April, an increase of more than 50 percent from the same time period last year, enabling North Carolina to reach this milestone by the end of April, National Donate Life Month. The challenge to reach this registry goal by April 30 was issued by Gov. Beverly Perdue and Rep. Dale Folwell (R-Forsyth) in March. “We’re grateful for the generosity of North Carolinians who want to save lives by being a donor and for the DMV driver’s license personnel who give them the opportunity to register by placing a heart on their license,” said Tamara McLaughlin, executive director of Donate Life North Carolina. The Heart Prevails legislation, passed in 2007, made the heart on a North Carolina license or ID card legal consent to donate. “This milestone belongs to the people of North Carolina starting with the DMV license examiners who ask that important question. North Carolinians can be assured that their decision to save lives through donation will be honored,” Folwell said. Since 2007 more than 2,231 life-saving organ transplants have been performed in North Carolina and more than 10,000 North Carolinians have given the gift of life through organ, eye and tissue donation.

Church prays for relief from choir director’s wife D

ear Abby: Our small church choir has a talented volunteer director. His wife, “Martha,” is an energetic and animated soprano who has a reasonably good voice in her range. Unfortunately, Martha sings louder than all of the other choir members, and she ends many songs by trying to reach a final high note. The problem is her high notes are often flat and sound more like a cat’s scream. No one likes it. The congregation is held hostage to Martha’s screams because they’re afraid of losing her husband’s free directing services. How can we convince Martha to cut out the high notes? – Covering Our Ears on The West Coast Dear Covering: Because Martha’s improvisations are distracting the congregation – which I assume is larger than the choir – your spiritual leader should have a private chat with

ADVICE Dear Abby

the director and explain that “the congregation” would prefer the choir perform the hymns exactly as they are written. It should get the message across without being personally offensive. And it’s not as if you’re all asking that his wife not perform, just that she tone it down.

■■■

Dear Abby: I was in line at the pharmacy yesterday and one clerk was on duty with the pharmacist. I waited my turn and asked for my prescription. She had to go check on it, so I sat down to wait. In the meantime, two other customers came in and waited in line. The clerk called my name, then asked me to get back in line. Shouldn’t I have been taken care of next? – Annoyed in Victorville, Calif. Dear Annoyed: I’m not sure there

there anymore because of the policy of not supervising infants while customers shop. My sister has dealt with many customer-related issues, but this one left her speechless. Employees assist customers, but they do not baby-sit. Also, leaving a child with a stranger is dangerous and could lead to potentially serious situations that parents may regret. What’s your opinion on this issue? – Speechless in Ohio

are rules of etiquette for counter service at a pharmacy, but common sense dictates that the customers be taken care of in an efficient manner. I see nothing efficient about making someone who has started being served wait longer – particularly if the clerk might also have to check on the prescriptions of the customers who came after you did. You should have been taken care of next. Dear Abby: Two women carrying a baby in an infant car seat entered the gift shop where my sister works. The grandmother asked my sister if they could leave the baby behind the counter while they shopped. My sister politely told them it was against store policy. They proceeded to shop, putting the carrier down in the middle of the aisle while they browsed – leaving it unattended at times. The grandmother bought a few items, then told my sister she might not shop

Dear Speechless: Your sister was right to inform the grandmother about the store’s policy. And it is the grandmother’s privilege to take her business elsewhere if she doesn’t approve of it. Dear Readers: A happy Mother’s Day to mothers everywhere – birth mothers, adoptive and foster mothers, and stepmothers – and especially to my own beautiful mother, Pauline Phillips, in Minneapolis.

Newspapers make a larger investment in journalism than any other medium. Most of the information you already read from “aggregators” and other media originated with newspapers. No amount of effort from local bloggers, non-proﬁt news entities or TV news sources could match the depth and breadth of newspaperproduced content.

Soldier’s return changes lives FROM PAGE 1E

asked the Lord to clear my heart, because I could not be a witness to help the people with all that bitterness,” Larry recalls. As he arrived in Vietnam, Larry’s mind flashed back to his horrible memories from three decades earlier – including the fateful day he nearly died on the battlefield – and he broke out in a sweat. Why had he agreed to do this? Amazingly, though, as Larry poured his heart into his reason for being there – to minister to the Vietnamese people – he felt his heart soften. He watched in awe as he saw one person after another accept the message of the Gospel. Meanwhile, it was clear that Larry’s Vietnamese interpreter – a young woman named ToKhanh – did not like him. She had seen the Vietnamese government make her father do hard labor simply because he spoke English – fearing he might be a threat to the government – so she resented all Americans, because it was their language that had gotten her father in trouble. Moreover, something about Larry’s personality rubbed her the wrong way. “I have to say I hate him,” ToKhanh says now in her broken English. “He was American, and he so very serious in his work. I just don’t like him because he too hard all the time.” Slowly, ToKhanh’s impression of Larry began to change as she watched him minister to her people. She saw him lead people to Christ. She saw him pray for the diseased and injured, some of whom she says were miraculously healed. Then she saw him lead her to Christ, and her family. “Larry have compassion and he

very emotional – he cry a lot,” she says. “They say he cry because he Vietnam veteran, and he think they hurt our country. He hope he can pay us back because he think he hurt us. So I see Larry so good to the people. He down on his knees and he hold people’s hands and pray for them. All of a sudden it touch me, and next thing you know we engaged. I just surprised.” She’s not the only one. Larry couldn’t believe he was falling in love with a Vietnamese woman. Only weeks earlier, he had hated the Vietnamese people, and now he was about to marry one. “It’s a miracle,” Larry says, shaking his head in wonder. “You know how the Lord parted the Red Sea? It’s almost that big a miracle for me, because I was through with Vietnam. And now I’ve found my mate there. That’s a miracle.” **** Larry and ToKhanh live in a modest home in Thomasville, with a long wheelchair ramp in the yard, a handicap-accessible van in the driveway, and two flags – an American flag and a U.S. Marine Corps flag – flying from the front porch. Ten years after they married, the Smalls well understand what it means to wed someone “for better or for worse.” Larry’s health has deteriorated significantly, especially in the past few years. He’s no longer able to walk, and he still suffers maddening bouts of confusion from time to time. Twice since 2006, he’s been on life support in the hospital, battling pneumonia

and related complications. Through it all, ToKhanh has stood by her husband’s side, caring for his every need. When doctors recommended she put Larry in a nursing home, she adamantly refused, instead choosing to care for him herself. When he needs to move from the couch to his electric scooter, she helps him. She also helps him use the bathroom. She feeds and bathes him, and dresses him. ToKhanh pampers her husband, too. She bought him a flat-screen TV, against his humble wishes. When he wanted to hear “The Marines’ Hymn,” she taught herself to play it on the guitar. “She is so good to me,” Larry says softly. “I don’t know why she takes care of me the way she does.” ToKhanh smiles and takes Larry’s hand, rubbing it gently with her thumb. “Well, baby, it’s because I love you,” she says proudly. “He not just my husband – he my hero. I do this to see the smile on his face – that make me happy. It my goal to make him happy every day.” Larry wipes a tear from his eye and says, “She don’t take good care of me – it’s excellent care. I’m a very lucky man.” Yes, he calls himself lucky. This Vietnam veteran – who nearly died in the jungles of Vietnam, who grew bitter toward that country and its people, who grew bitter toward his God, who ironically married a woman from the country he once hated so passionately – calls himself lucky. You see? Vietnam really did change his life. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Woman worries about cholesterol D

ear Dr. Donohue: I would like your opinion. My cholesterol is 206 mg/dL. My HDL cholesterol is 71, my triglycerides 69 and my LDL cholesterol 121. I do not want to take Lipitor because it affected my leg muscles. I have taken red rice yeast for more than a year, but it doesn’t help me. Should I continue the red rice yeast, or do you have another suggestion? I am 87. – C.P.

Your doctor should be the one advising you on this, since he or she has a better picture of your total health. Nevertheless, since you asked my opinion, I’ll give it. You have to take matters into your own hands, however. If I were you, I would be eternally grateful that my parents bequeathed me a set of genes as good as yours. A cholesterol of 206 mg/dL is so close to the normal of 200 that it isn’t a health issue for you. Your triglycerides are excellent, well below the normal of 150. Tri-

glycerides act in concert with cholesterol to plug arteries. Your HDL cholesterol HEALTH – good cholesterol, Dr. Paul the kind Donohue that keeps ■■■ arteries free of buildup – is well above the desired minimum of 60. That’s a definite plus for you. The higher the HDL, the better off you are. Your LDL cholesterol, bad cholesterol, is more than acceptable for people at even a moderate risk for a heart attack.

comment on bronchial artery embolization for bronchiectasis. Since patients will ask about this (one of mine did), can you retract or clarify your comments? – Dr. D.L. You are absolutely right, and I am wrong. Bronchial artery embolization is only for bleeding resulting from

bronchiectasis. I do want to clarify that for all readers. Thank you so much, Doctor. DR.

Cancer in young dog leaves owner depressed

ear Dr. Fox: I have a 5-year-old female cockapoo who was recently diagnosed with bladder cancer. After considering the option of chemotherapy, which would only prolong her life about six months, and being told that surgery is not an option due to the location of the tumor (in the neck of the bladder), I have decided to let her live out her remaining days and hope the end will not be too painful. I am heartbroken that such a young and beautiful dog will die of cancer. The internist said it is unusual for a dog her age, but she is seeing more cancers in younger dogs that could be traced to things such as lawn chemicals or even using flea and tick treatments. I’ve read your columns long enough to know how you feel about flea and tick treatments. I can’t imagine not having a dog in my house and know I will certainly want a puppy in the future. What can I do to avoid such a terrible situation again? I feed her Fromm, and, yes, I do use flea and tick products in the warm spring and summer months only. I also have a lawn service that applies chemicals and fertilizers. Six weeks after the diagnosis and she still seems like a puppy, but I know her end is near. The internist said the cancer is aggressive and will spread quickly. I will miss her. – L.E., Centreville, Md. Dear L.E.: It is heartbreaking to lose a loved one at such a young age. The scourge of cancer is ranked as the No. 1

cause of death from disease in children aged 14 and under. This ANIMAL is the sad price we DOCTOR all must pay for Dr. Michael contamiFox nating ■■■ our air, water and entire food chain with harmful chemicals. This background-exposure risk is compounded by individual and inherited susceptibility and by maternal and pre- and post-weaning nutrition and chemical exposure. Clean your house and garden of all pesticides, and transition your dog onto an organic dog food (see my Web site for details). Let your ailing dog be your teacher and healer as you search the Internet for beneficial supplements, and go to the American Veterinary Medical Association Web site (avma.org) to locate veterinarians near you who integrate them in their holistic practices. I would focus on antiinflammatory, anticancer and super-antioxidant supplements beginning with perhaps CoQ10, New Chapter’s Zyflamend, wild-salmon oil, brown seaweed and probiotics.

World Cup brings chance for safari BY CARLEY PETESCH ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

OHANNESBURG – Lions and cheetah, check. Buffalo, check. Rhino, hippo and leopard. check. Penguins, check. South Africa has them all. The country has nearly 600 national parks and reserves – plenty of opportunity for the hordes of visitors coming for Africa’s first World Cup to do something besides watching football. South Africa’s best known game reserve is Kruger National Park, near one of the World Cup host cities, Nelspruit, in the north. Kruger boasts the Big Five – buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion and rhino. The reserve is the size of the state of Massachusetts, but it might still seem crowded with tourists during the June-July World Cup. Still, there are off-thebeaten track options that are just as exciting and probably more accessible, and don’t involve malaria tablets. Those on a budget can make do with glimpsing animals for free on a drive from Cape Town to Cape Point. Others ready to break the bank can lodge at private game reserves and wake up to monkeys at the doorstep. Three of the World Cup host cities, Johannesburg, Pretoria and Rustenburg, are near Pilanesburg, the fourth largest park in South Africa. It covers 136,000 acres and has more than 7,000 animals, including 24 of the larger species. You can take a room at Pilanesburg’s luxurious Ivory Tree Game Lodge or Bakubung Bush Lodge, or the Tshukudu. Packages usually include lodging, meals and two safaris per day with guide. Camping options or dormitory-style self-catering places for families can be booked at the Bosele Group Camp or Golden Leopard Resorts. Sites on the edges of the park allow campers or tents. Mike Crowther, Pilanesburg park manager, said June is the best time to visit the reserve because the weather is cooler and drier, so the roads are easy to drive on, and because vegetation is not lush, enhancing any animal viewing. But June is also winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and that means it is cold. Bring hats, gloves and lots of layers no matter where you go. If you take a late afternoon game drive, temperatures can plummet

Elephants cross a road inside the Pilanesberg Game Reserve near Rustenburg, South Africa. The country nearly 600 national parks and reserves, plenty of opportunity for the hordes of visitors coming for Africa’s first World Cup to do something besides watching soccer. as the sun descends. Johannesburg, Pretoria and Rustenburg are close enough for a day trip to Pilanesburg. Tourists can drive themselves, no bookings required,

Mike Crowther, Pilanesburg park manager, said June is the best time to visit the reserve because the weather is cooler and drier. through the park on roads that are clearly marked, and you’ll certainly see animals if you hit it early or late in the day. Nothing can beat seeing rhinos in the distance, elephants walking in front of your

vehicle or giraffes eating leaves from the tops of trees. “You can come in anytime of the week, anytime of the day and pay to get a permit and drive around,” Crowther said. Though there are likely to be many visitors during the World Cup, Crowther said it’s unlikely that they will have to cap the number of permits per day. Still, it’s recommended you call ahead, or arrive early at any reserve. If the drive and stay seem overwhelming, there’s a more local Johannesburg option. The Rhino and Lion Reserve is a 2,700 acre reserve on the edge of the city, about a 45-minute drive from northern Johannesburg. A fake elephant, giraffe and rhino greet you at the gate. The cost is only about $14 per person and you can drive yourself over the dirt roads or hire

a guide. While there are no elephants here, you can see buffalo, rhino, ostrich, oryx, zebra and more in the open. Feeding times for the lions, cheetahs and wild dogs are 1 p.m. Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Owner Ed Hern said the meat comes from local farms. The feedings are quite popular, so it’s best to go on a Wednesday, when it’s less likely locals will be going. There’s also a reptile farm and an animal nursery where you can get a close look at baby rhinos, tigers, leopard, rare birds, pygmy hippos and lions. For a small fee, you can pet the lion cubs. While there is game on a few reserves in the Western Cape, the focus there is more on the local flora known as fynbos, said Liesl Brink, spokeswoman for Cape Nature.

Still, during a few hours’ drive from World Cup host city Cape Town through to Simon’s Town and down to the Cape of Good Hope, you can see penguins – yes, penguins – and possibly some baboons and ostrich. The baboons in the Cape of Good Hope nature reserve are accustomed to humans – almost too much so. They have been known to bother tourists and steal things from cars, so be sure to keep your windows and car doors closed. For the most promising option to see game in southern South Africa, take an hour or so drive from host city Port Elizabeth or a seven-hour drive from Cape Town along the Garden Route to the Addo Elephant Park. Though the drive from Cape Town will take a day, it’s stunning along the well-traveled

Garden Route, which passes through the Tsitsikamma Forest where there have been rare sightings of elephants. Addo is the only Big Five national park in the southern half of the country. It’s known for its 300-strong elephant herd. But the park also has spotted hyenas, black rhino, kudu and ostrich. You can drive yourself or go on a twohour guided tour. A tip for those new to safaris: Ask other drivers, especially the guides, where they last saw elephant or lion or buffalo. The animals move around a lot, but if you have a general idea where they are, it’s likely you’ll spot some. Patience is the key. And upon that first close sighting, you’ll understand what makes safaris so enthralling.

Mother may be able to get help with Medicare

I will be visiting my mom on Mother’s Day. She has Medicare prescription drug coverage and I was wondering if she could get extra help with the associated costs? A. She may be able to, depending on her income and resources. In 2010, she must have an annual income below $16,245 (or $21,855 if she is married and living with her husband). If her annual income is higher, she still may be able to get some help if she supports other family members who live with her, has earnings from work, or lives in Alaska or Hawaii. To get the extra help with Medicare prescription drug plan costs, her total resources also need to be limited to $12,510 (or $25,010 if she is married and living with her husband). Recent changes in the law now make it easier to save on Medicare drug plan costs. To learn more, visit www. socialsecurity.gov/prescriptionhelp. Q. Someone told me that my 58 year old sister might be able to qualify for a “compassionate allowance” because of her Alzheimer’s. Is this true? A. She might, but the only way to know for sure is for her to submit an application for disability benefits. Compassionate Allowances are a way of quickly identifying diseases and other medical conditions that clearly qualify for Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability benefits. The process allows us to identify and make speedy decisions for the most obviously disabled individuals. Recently 38 more conditions were added to our original list of 50 conditions – 25 rare diseases and 25 cancers. The expansion of the list means tens of thousands of Americans with devastating disabilities, such as early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, now can get

approved for benefits in a matter of days, rather than months or years. To learn more, and to see a complete list of the Compassionate Allowance conditions, visit www.socialsecurity. gov/compassionateallowances. Q. What can I do if I think someone has stolen my identity? A. You should do several things, including: File a report with the local police or the police department where the identity theft took place, and keep a copy of the police report as proof of the crime; Notify the Federal Trade Commission at (877) ID-THEFT, (877) 4384338; or www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/idtheft/. File a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3. gov; and contact the fraud units of the three major credit reporting bureaus: Equifax, www.equifax.com/ (800-5256285); Trans Union, www.transunion. com/ (800-680-7289); and Experian, www.experian.com/ (888-397-3742). If your Social Security card has been stolen, you can apply for a replacement card. But you usually don’t need a new card as long as you know your number. To protect yourself in the future, treat your Social Security number as confidential and avoid giving it out. Keep your Social Security card in a safe place with your other important papers. Do not carry it with you. Learn more by reading our publication, Identity Theft And Your Social Security Number, at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10064.html.

ADVICE 6E www.hpe.com SUNDAY, MAY 9, 2010 THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE

Single moms need male role models for sons Q

uestion: I am a single mother with a 5-year-old son. How can I raise him to be a healthy man who has a good masculine image? Dr. Dobson: As I think you recognize from your question, your son has needs that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not properly equipped to meet. Your best option, then, is to recruit a man who can act as a mentor to him â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one who can serve as a masculine role model. In her book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mothers and Sons,â&#x20AC;? the late Jean Lush talked about the challenges single mothers face in raising sons. She says the ages four to six are especially important and difficult. I agree. A boy at that age still loves his mother, but he feels the need to separate from her and gravitate toward a masculine model. If he has a father in the home, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll usually want to spend more time with his dad apart from his mother and sisters. If his dad is not accessible to him, a substitute must be found. Admittedly, good mentors can be difficult to recruit. Consider your friends, relatives or neighbors who can offer as little as an hour or two a month. In a pinch, a mature high schooler who likes kids could even be â&#x20AC;&#x153;rentedâ&#x20AC;? to play ball or go fishing with a boy in need. If you belong to a church, you should be able to find support for your son among the male members of the Christian community. I believe it is our responsibility as Christian men to help single mothers with their difficult parenting tasks. Certainly single moth-

ers have many demands on their time and energy, but the effort to find a mentor for their sons might be the most worthwhile contribution they can make.

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY Dr. James Dobson

children to stay in touch with the outside world. Though it may seem safer and less taxing to remain cloistered within the four walls of a home, it is a mistake to do so. Loneliness does bad things to the mind. Furthermore, there are many ways to network with other women today, including church activities, Bible study groups and supportive programs such as

They feel like they will explode if they have to do one more load of laundry or tie one more shoe. In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mobile, highly energized society, young mothers are much more isolated than in years past. Many of them hardly know the women next door, and their sisters and mothers may live a thousand miles away. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why it is so important for those with small

Moms In Touch and Mothers of Preschoolers. Husbands of stay-athome mothers need to recognize the importance of their support, too. It is a wise man who plans a romantic date at least once a week and offers to take care of the children so Mom can get a muchneeded break. Burnout isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t inevitable in a busy household. It can be avoided in families

Question: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a fulltime mother with three children in the preschool years. I love them like crazy, but I am exhausted from just trying to keep up with them. I also feel emotionally isolated by being here in the house every day of the week. What do you suggest for mothers like me?

Disastrous suggestions Corks, pillows suggested as remedies for oil spill BY JAY REEVES ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

DAUPHIN ISLAND, Ala. – Here’s an idea for stopping all that oil from spewing into the Gulf of Mexico: Put a cork in the blown-out well. If that doesn’t work, how about freezing the petroleum to create black oilsicles that can be picked up, refined and sold? Government officials are being inundated with homespun remedies as they try to prevent the nightmare scenario of oil washing up all over the Gulf Coast, blackening a region known for its abundant wildlife and white beaches. Some proposals are realistic, others seem farfetched. Some are just goofy. Someone who called a telephone line that was accepting public suggestions mentioned stopping the flow by capping the damaged well with a cork, said Lt. James McKnight, a spokesman with the Coast Guard in Mobile. It would have to be a really big cork, presumably. One caller suggested sewing pillows together to line beaches and soak up the oil as it comes ashore. Along the same

line, dozens of salons in Alabama and Florida are collecting hair trimmings with plans to stuff shorn locks into old stockings and create makeshift oilabsorbers called booms. On Facebook, a group dedicated to the oil spill includes suggestions like using explosives to stop the gusher, which is about 5,000 feet underwater. And some suggest the real solution is an old standby – prayer. A group of business people with a product called Clean Kool have suggested using a carbon dioxide solution shot

Government officials are being inundated with homespun remedies as they try to prevent the nightmare scenario of oil washing up all over the Gulf Coast. from guns to freeze parts of the slick, which could then be scooped up and refined. Supporters of the idea include consultant Lee Helms, a former director of the Alabama Emergency Management Agency who now is in private business. “We’re fixing to do a demonstration of our

product for a couple of mayors down at the beach. The state is going to look at our product, too,” said Terry Hester, a representative of Clean Kool. “We’ve got a product we know will work.” Members of the Clean Kool team, like other business representatives, have gone to a command center set up by BP PLC, which is responsible for the cleanup, and the Coast Guard in Mobile to pitch their products. Hester and his associates waited more than five hours in the lobby before guards ushered them into the nerve center of the operation, where more than 400 government and industry scientists, members of the military and others are trying to figure out how to best protect the coast.

The Obama administration is offering lowinterest loans to businesses in parts of the Gulf Coast that have suffered financial losses from the massive oil spill. The Small Business Administration says the loans will be available immediately to businesses along the Louisiana coast, as well as in some counties in Mississippi. Qualifying businesses include those engaged in fishing, suppliers of fishing gear and retailers who depend on revenue from fishing. The April 20 spill shut down commercial and recreational fishing in parts of the region. The loans provide up to $2 million in working capital at an interest rate of 4 percent for up to 30 years.

ASK A.P.: Journalist handles question on sandbags. 2F

FOCUS 2F www.hpe.com SUNDAY, MAY 9, 2010 THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE “PET FOOD” By JOHN LAMPKIN

General Motors Co. CEO Edward Whitacre Jr. speaks during a news conference recently at the GM Fairfax plant near Kansas City. A reader-submitted question about how GM paid back its government handout “with interest” and “five years earlier” than planned is being answered as part of an Associated Press Q&A column called “Ask AP.”

Questions answered on GM loans, fate of sandbags THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

You see them piled up around homes, businesses, entire towns when a nearby river is rising, threatening a catastrophic flood. But what happens to all those sandbags after the floodwaters recede? That’s one of the questions in this edition of “Ask AP,” a weekly Q&A column where AP journalists respond to readers’ questions about the news. If you have your own news-related question that you’d like to see answered by an AP reporter or editor, send it to newsquestions@ap.org, with “Ask AP” in the subject line. And please include your full name and hometown so they can be published with your question. You can also tweet your questions to AP, using the AskAP hashtag. Ask AP can also be found on AP Mobile, a multimedia news service available on Internetenabled cell phones. Go to http://www.apnews. com/ to learn more. Q. I have seen television commercials for GM saying that they paid back their government handout “with interest” and “five years earlier” than planned. I’d like to know: How did they do it? Where did they get the money? And did they really pay back exactly the amount that they received plus interest, or are they putting a positive spin on the numbers? Daryle Urban Ozawkie, Kan. A. General Motors Co. repaid loans from the U.S. and Canadian governments worth $8.1 billion five years ahead of schedule, with interest. But the company doesn’t note in its TV commercials that the majority of the taxpayer

investment in GM rests in the U.S. government’s 61 percent ownership of the automaker. GM has said it hopes to conduct a public stock offering later this year or in 2011 to allow U.S. taxpayers to begin recouping their $52 billion investment. GM paid off its loan from a $16.4 billion escrow fund created by the U.S. government as part of the auto company’s bankruptcy last year. The fund was developed to give GM some cushion in case the economy tumbled but required the company to seek permission from the U.S. Treasury before spending it. By paying off the loans early, GM is essentially saying that it does not need the government cushion and is beginning to make money on its revamped lineup of midsize passenger cars and crossover vehicles. The loan repayment signifies that the company is no longer on life support and is slowly making progress toward its goal of returning to profitability. Q. Hundreds of sandbags are used to keep back floodwaters during the spring floods. What happens to the sandbags when the flood is over? Dolores Baker Fredonia, Kan. A. Sandbags that come in contact with floodwaters cannot be reused because the waters are contaminated with pesticides, sewage and other toxic pollution. In Fargo, N.D., where the Red River overflowed its banks in 2009 and threatened to do so again in March, used sandbags

are trucked to a site on the outskirts of town and emptied into large piles. The sand can be reused for limited purposes such as providing fill for road and building construction, but not for children’s sand boxes or other household uses where people would be likely to touch it. Even before this year’s 1.5 million sandbags were dismantled, there were still 70,000 tons of used sand in the Fargo piles. John Flesher AP Environmental Writer Traverse City, Mich. Q. How are the members of a firing squad chosen for an execution, like the one that’s coming up in Utah? Lex Marsh Englewood, Colo. A. Members of the fiveperson execution team in Utah must by law be certified peace officers in the state. Squad members are selected by the executive director of the Utah Department of Corrections in consultation with the county sheriff from the jurisdiction where the crime occurred. By law, the identities of those selected to serve on the firing squad are kept secret. The executioners are armed with matched .30-caliber rifles, four of which are loaded with a live round. The fifth is loaded with a blank. The rifles are randomly assigned to the executioners so none knows which rifle carries the blank, or carries the burden of knowing his bullet killed the condemned. The executioners fire from behind a gunport bricked into the cinder block wall of the execution chamber, a 20-by24-foot room inside the prison. Jennifer Dobner Associated Press Writer Salt Lake City

Police try to combat speeding BY REBECCA CLARK MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS SERVICE

SHELBY – Every day Joseph Lamm said he sees vehicles speeding up and down James Love School Road going over the 45 mile per hour speed limit and causing him concern. An elementary school is located a short ways up the road and Lamm said there are plans to build a church across the street. “It’s just getting worse every day and I’m afraid somebody’s going to get killed out here,” he said.

“After sunup it just picks up and goes.” Lamm said he has lived on the road for 10 years. Recently he went to the Shelby police station and complained about the speeding. Shelby Police Chief Jeff Ledford said the department had received a call regarding speeding on James Love School Road in late April. “We said absolutely, we’ll step up and monitor the area,” Ledford said. A traffic team was sent out and when that didn’t seem to fix the problem,

Ledford said they put the speed board up. “That’s about the routine,” he said. “If we get repetitive calls we get a traffic counter. That gives us statistics about what’s going on.” He said the black cable that stretches across the road can do a little bit of everything. “It’ll give us a car count, peak time for traffic. Break it down to this many cars, tractortrailers and motorcycles. Minimum speed, average speed on a road. That’s a powerful tool we can show somebody.”

Shelters aim to help Haitians BY MARTHA QUILLIN MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS SERVICE

TITANYEN, Haiti – Rain has begun to fall on Haiti, heavy evening showers that hammer tin roofs and coax pink and purple blooms from the stunted crepe myrtle and bougainvillea clinging to the rocky soil. In the village of Titanyen, something else is sprouting: tiny, bright blue houses built of treated 2-by-

4s and plastic tarps. “The reason we’re here is the earthquake,” Scott Daughtry told a dozen new volunteers for the N.C. Baptist Men before they began a week of building the shelters and running medical clinics. “But the purpose we’re here for is to fix people’s souls.” The group of men and women, mostly from the Triangle, are staying in a house leased by the Baptists on a mission compound that is also the temporary home of Boone-

based Samaritan’s Purse. Both groups came to Haiti after the Jan. 12 earthquake to provide medical care for the injured and have stayed to help with long-term rebuilding. With rains coming more frequently, that means providing shelter for some of the hundreds of thousands of people whose homes collapsed or were damaged in the quake or who were so traumatized by the experience that they are afraid to sleep indoors, though their houses have been deemed safe.

TLANTA – Standing outside an Atlanta cotton mill campaigning for her husband’s bid to become governor of Georgia, Rosalynn Carter came upon a weary woman heading home to care for a mentally ill daughter. The encounter in 1966 would help launch a crusade that has lasted to this day. As her husband’s political career catapulted him to the White House, Mrs. Carter worked to bring mental health to the fore. Her advocacy has continued long after the couple left the nation’s capital and established the Carter Center in Atlanta. The former first lady details that 1966 meeting and her work since in a new book, “Within Our Reach: Ending the Mental Health Crisis.” It is Mrs. Carter’s fifth book and

isters Martie Maguire and Emily Robinson began performing together in childhood, and they recorded their first album, as members of the Dixie Chicks, 20 years ago. But the Court Yard Hounds marks the talented musiciansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first effort as a duo.

Sparks to join Broadwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;In the Heightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Another â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idolâ&#x20AC;? alum is headed to Broadway. Jordin Sparks will join the cast of the Tonywinning Sparks musical â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the Heightsâ&#x20AC;? this summer. Producers Kevin McCollum and Jeffrey Seller said Monday the 2007 â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Idolâ&#x20AC;? winner will play Nina Rosario in the musical for a 12-week engagement Aug. 19 through Nov. 14. The 20-year-old Sparks has had such pop hits as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tattoo,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;No Airâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;One Step at a Time,â&#x20AC;? as well as the dance success â&#x20AC;&#x153;S.O.S. (Let the Music Play).â&#x20AC;?

The result â&#x20AC;&#x201C; tender, thoughtful, and immaculately put together â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is quieter and more understated than their work in the Dixie Chicks. The self-titled album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Court Yard Houndsâ&#x20AC;? (Columbia), offers contemplative songs about love and self-identity that emphasize wisdom more than action. Co-produced with veteran engineer Jim

Scott, the album features beautifully rendered acoustic arrangements, with Robinson on banjo, dobro and guitar, and Maguire on fiddle, viola and mandolin. The songs, most of them written by Robison, are mature reflections on grown-up life, inspired in part by Robisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent divorce. Robison handles most of the vocals.

Comedian wins as ‘mother-in-law’ suit gets tossed out

Former First Lady Laura Bush (left) kicks off a national tour with a book signing at Books-A-Million in McLean, Va., this week, promoting her new book, “Spoken from the Heart.”

Laura Bush kicks off book tour M

cLEAN, Va. (AP) – Former First Lady Laura Bush kicked off a national book tour this week in northern Virginia, cranking out nearly 10 autographs a minute as hundreds of fans waited hours for a five-second opportunity to say hello. Fans began lining up shortly after 7 a.m. Tuesday outside the Books-A-Million in McLean for the chance to buy an autographed copy of Bush’s new memoir, “Spoken from the Heart.” Seated on a chair with goldcolored accents, Bush repeatedly thanked her many fans, who were thrilled to meet a woman they universally described as “a class act.” “I will read anything the Bush family writes,” said Susan Miller, 64, of Arlington. “I’ve always admired Laura Bush and I can’t wait for her husband’s book to

come out. I just think they’re a great team.” Former President George W. Bush’s memoir, “Decision Points,” is set to be released in November. Kristina Okhotin, 21, of San Diego said she is a fan of the Bushes, but she debated whether to attend the signing. She finally decided an opportunity to meet a first lady was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. “In real life, she looked a lot prettier,” Okhotin said. Bush began signing books at noon and the line had cleared by about 1:30 p.m. Most of those waiting in line were women. In the book she discusses her husband’s decision to stop drinking in the mid 1980s and describes him as “a bore” when he drank. She also writes about a fatal car accident she was involved in as a

teenager growing up in Midland, Texas. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey on her syndicated television show Tuesday, Bush said she still carries guilt from the crash, in which she ran a stop sign and struck and killed a high school friend. “What I did was try not to think about it, put it out of my mind,” Bush told Winfrey. As for the drinking, Bush told Winfrey it was part of the culture in Midland but that her husband decided after his 40th birthday to quit drinking, and did it cold turkey. “I knew that George was drinking too much. ... He knew it, too,” Bush said. The former first lady also appear ed at bookstores in Arlington, Washington and Dallas.

Project puts 1 million books online for blind, dyslexic SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Even as audio versions of best-sellers fill store shelves and new technology fuels the popularity of digitized books, the number of titles accessible to people who are blind or dyslexic is minuscule. A new service being announced Thursday by the nonprofit Internet Archive in San Francisco is trying to change that. The group has hired hundreds of people to scan thousands of books into its digital database – more than doubling the titles available to people who aren’t able to read a hard copy. Brewster Kahle, the organization’s founder, says the project will initially make 1 million books available to the visually impaired, using money from foundations, libraries, corporations and the government. He’s hoping a subsequent book drive will add even more titles to the collection. “We’ll offer current novels, educational books, anything. If somebody then donates a book to the archive, we can digi-

tize it and add it to the collection,” he said. The problems with many of the digitized books sold commercially is that they’re expensive, they’re often abridged, and they don’t come in a format that is easily accessed by the visually impaired. The collections are also limited to the most popular titles published within the past several years. The Internet Archive is scanning a variety of books in many languages so they can be read by the software and devices blind people use to convert written pages into speech. The organization has 20 scanning centers in five countries, including one in the Library of Congress. “Publishers mostly concentrate on their newest, profitable books. We are working to get all books online,” Kahle said. Marc Maurer, president of the National Federation of the Blind, says getting access to books has been a big challenge for blind people.

LOS ANGELES (AP) – A standup comedian who was sued for making mother-in-law jokes has had the last laugh after a federal judge threw the case out of court. Sunda Croonquist, whose shtick for years has been to describe her life as a half-black, halfSwedish woman who marries into a Jewish family, was sued two years ago after her mother-in-law, sister-in-law and brother-in-law said her jokes were holding them up to public ridicule. In a 21-page ruling issued recently, U.S. District Judge Mary L. Cooper of New Jersey concluded that the examples they cited – including one in which Croonquist says her sister-in-law’s voice sounds like a cat in heat – fell under the category of protected speech. Many of the jokes, Cooper said, were clearly statements of opinion

and not fact and therefore protected by the First Amendment. The cat-inheat joke, the judge said, quoting from a previous court decision, was “colorful, figurative rhetoric that reasonable minds would not take to be factual.” The suit was filed in New Jersey because two of the plaintiffs, Croonquist’s brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Neil and Shelley Edelman, live there. Croonquist lives in Beverly Hills and her mother-in-law, Ruth Zafrin, lives in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. Adding another family twist to the case was the fact Croonquist’s husband, Mark Zafrin, is a partner in the law firm that successfully represented her. “He’s excited that I won, but he’s not happy about the legal fees that his firm had to incur,” she said.

Picasso sells at NYC auction for record $106.5M NEW YORK (AP) – A 1932 Pablo Picasso painting of his mistress has sold for $106.5 million, a world record price for any work of art at auction. “Nude, Green Leaves and Bust,” which had a pre-sale estimate of between $70 million and $90 million, was sold

at Christie’s auction house last week to an unidentified telephone bidder. There were nine minutes of bidding involving eight clients in the sale room and on the phone, Christie’s said. At $88 million, two bidders remained.
