Money tight yet again for help from Legislature

Abby Donnelly with Sandler Training recently received an award from Rotary International recognizing significant contributions toward eradicating polio worldwide.

Rotary District Governor Mike Conrad presented Donnelly with the award in appreciation for presenting a day of professional development that netted a $50,000 donation to end polio.

TRIAD – It’s a refrain from 2009 that local groups seeking appropriations from the N.C. General Assembly don’t want to hear, but they’ll confront anyway this year.

State legislators, facing the need to fill another large budget shortfall, won’t have much discretionary money to assist nonprofit groups and other entities seeking appropriations, a pair of local representatives say.

The 170 members of the General Assembly began the 2010 session Wednesday at the State Legislative Building in Raleigh.

The current estimate is that the shortfall for the upcoming 2010-11 fiscal year will total $800 million to $1 billion. The gap will depend in part on how much tax revenues improve between now and when the next state fiscal year begins July 1.

Legislators aren’t under any illusions that the state’s fiscal picture will improve dramatically through the spring.

When groups have approached Rep. Maggie Jeffus, D-Guilford, about prospects for state funding, she’s told them candidly that the outlook isn’t promising.

At this point, there’s going to be very little discretionary money for things that aren’t absolutely essential,” Jeffus said.

Rep. Jerry Dockham, RDavidson, agrees that discretionary appropriations for local projects will be limited.

“People who honestly need help, we should help them,” he said.

Area legislators this year want to secure at least the same amount of state money for the High Point Market, Jeffus said.

A bill could be introduced today or early next week that would seek to main-

N.C. GENERAL ASSEMBLY

–

Three members of the Guilford County legislative delegation began serving their last year in the N.C. General Assembly when the Legislature convened the 2010 session Wednesday in Raleigh.

Sen. Katie Dorsett, D-Guilford, and Rep. Laura Wiley, R-Guilford, will retire after the 2010 session. Rep. Earl Jones, D-Guilford and chairman of the Guilford County legislative delegation, lost in the May 4 Democratic primary to challenger Marcus Brandon of High Point. Either Brandon or Republican Lonnie Wilson of High Point will take the seat in the Nov. 2 general election and begin serving during the 2011 legislative session.

“The market stimulates our economy, brings jobs in. That’s exactly what we need,” Jeffus said.

During the spring market

last month, Gov. Beverly Perdue pledged to maintain current levels of funding for the market.

The state provides $2 million for transportation services and promo-

tion of the world’s largest home furnishings trade show, which is also the single-largest economic event in the state each year.

City acquiring land for new park

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The city has acquired about 50 acres and is in the process of purchasing more land for what is being eyed as the site of a community park in southwest High Point.

Last week, the City Council approved the purchase of a total of 2.45 acres of foreclosed properties on Irwin Avenue for $36,750. The tracts adjoin roughly 50 acres between Coventry Road and Burton Avenue that the city acquired for about $750,000 a few months ago.

The site – former pastureland that is a mixture of wooded areas, open fields and rolling hills – is being targeted for a “passive” park that could be composed of a nature trail and similar uses, rather than playing fields, according to city officials.

The city’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan in 2007 identified the need for such a project in this area of the city.

“There is a tremendous amount of potential with this property,” said Allen Oliver, High Point’s Parks and Recreation director.

“Typically, what we’ll do next is

some type of master plan for the site where we have public meetings, get public involvement and talk about what our vision is for the property, which is not really established right now.”

The expenditures are coming from $1.5 million in bond money approved by voters in a 2004 referendum. The bond funds are for land acquisition only and not for development of the park.

Officials said the city probably won’t pursue funding for development until the economy improves.

“Probably in a future bond referendum, we’ll request the money

for the development of the property,” Oliver said.

The site, located behind Cornerstone Health Care and North State Communications facilities on Westchester Drive, could have access points off Burton Avenue, Coventry Road and/or Westchester Drive.

“I really don’t know what we’ll put in there. We’ve got a sewer line that runs through there, so we’ve got a natural area for a trail along the creek,” Oliver said. “It’s a wonderful piece of property.”

HIGH POINT – Positive attitudes and an upbeat atmosphere touted by High Point Market organizers this spring may be evident in a slight uptick of registrations.

The High Point Market Authority announced Wednesday that 77,705 registrations were recorded for the event, held April 17-22. Of those registrations, 59 percent, or 46,087, were buyers.

Last spring, 75,537 people attended the furniture market while 82,095 were recorded in spring 2008.

Board Oks budget increases

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – School district officials gave Superintendent Mo Green’s proposed $651 million 2011 budget a first-round approval this week.

The plan, approved on a 8-2 vote, includes a $3.4 million increase to $178.5 million for school operations that county commissioners and school board members have already scrapped over. The budget also includes an additional $3 million for maintenance and repairs for a total of $7 million.

The school board passed the budget to meet a May 15 statutory deadline, but no final budget is possible until state officials agree on school allotments and program support this summer. The Board of Commissioners will discuss the district’s budget again during a Tuesday workshop.

“Our ultimate obligation is to advocate for the needs of our students and for our school system,” said Alan Duncan, board chairman.

“The approved budget request is reflective of the great needs of our schools.”

The board also approved consolidating some bus stops to save $173,000 on a 7-3 vote and also authorized on a unanimous vote a study of bus schedules to see how staggering school start times could save money.

“We need to see how this would look so that we’d have some planning in place if we want to make a change,” Duncan said.

The bus stop change means some students will have to walk on average two-tenths of a mile farther to bus stops rather than the three-tenths of a mile Green had proposed. To make up for the difference, the board approved using $1.19 million instead of $1.02 million in 2009-10 reserves for operational expenses.

Green’s budget would cut administrative expenses by an additional $6 million and eliminate 26 full-time positions, most of which would be transferred to vacant positions.

Lawmakers focus on funding

GCS BUDGET

–

Cuts: District officials expect to lose another $9.07 million in state funding for the 2010-11 year for a total of $29.79 million. Meanwhile, state budget officials have estimated that school districts may have to cut another 3 percent or more this year. For GCS, that would mean another $10.39 million loss in state funding for a total of $40.18 million.

The board held off action on proposed staff furloughs beyond the two-day furloughs Green has proposed as a possibility for employees earning $25,000 or more.

Furloughs are listed on a “B” list of possible cuts, including more administrative positions.

“We don’t want to have to go here, but we may have too,” Duncan said.

SC governor spends weekend with lover COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford said Wednesday he spent last weekend in Florida with his Argentine lover, hoping to rekindle the affair that wrecked his marriage and his political future and brought a formal rebuke from legislators for embarrassing the state.

At a news conference on an unrelated issue, Sanford conceded he owes the public the assurance that he’s safe and in communication with his office but said the media is obsessed with his personal life.

Sanford did not mention Maria Belen Chapur of Argentina by name when asked about a weekend trip out of state about which his staff has refused to provide details. But the governor, now divorced, left no room for doubt.

“As a matter of record, everybody in this room knows exactly who I was with over the weekend,” Sanford said. “That is no mystery to anybody given what I said last summer. And, you know, the purpose was obviously to see if something could be restarted on that front given the rather enormous geographic gulf between us. And time will tell. I don’t know if it will or won’t.”

Drunken man shocks Spain with generosity MADRID (AP) – A British man who arrived at a Spanish airport after having too much to drink was taken into custody – not for bad behavior but for being too generous.

Turns out the tourist had recently received an inheritance, and he had started to give away 52,000 ($72,285) he was carrying in cash and travelers checks.

Spain’s Interior Ministry said people at Son Sant Joan Airport in Palma de Mallorca first alerted police because the disheveled man “looked like a tramp” and “had a disagreeable smell.”

Police determined he was giving away thousands of euros, without realizing what he was doing. “Having arrived at the airport terminal

he began handing out cash while laughing,” a ministry statement said.

The ministry said the man – identified as James B.N., 59, from Manchester, England – was taken in custody and persuaded to fly home. The British Foreign Office was informed but officials did not have to intervene to coax the man back aboard a return flight.

Lobbyists and advocates for a host of interest groups and legislation swarmed the legislative complex downtown to prepare to push – or push back on – legislation that has a chance to pass before adjournment.

“Our goals for this session are to have an expeditious session ... but also to have a thorough session,” House Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange, said while releasing the House Democrats’ four-point agenda to help small businesses create jobs, protect public education to keep teachers in the classroom, root out government waste and fraud and pass ethics and state contract reforms.

Republicans, who are aiming to win back both chambers in November and control the once-a-decade redistricting in 2011, were unanimous in voting against last year’s budget bill. That could change this year if Democrats find real savings and don’t use scare tactics of severe cuts to generate new revenues, House Minority Whip Thom Tillis said.

BOTTOM LINE

–

RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina legislators returned to Raleigh on Wednesday to focus on fixing a state budget that still can’t keep up with flagging revenues and to find ways to encourage job creation among small businesses.

The gavels fell at noon Wednesday in the Legislative Building, bringing the House and Senate officially back to work after a ninemonth absence.

Their main business will be to adjust the second year of the two-year budget approved by lawmakers last summer. Democrats estimate between $800 million and $1 billion in additional revenues or spending cuts are needed to balance the budget for the year starting July 1.

But Democratic leaders, who control both chambers, have made clear they don’t want to stick around too long after the budget adjustments are made and signed by Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue. Senate Democrats say they’re still on track to pass their version of the budget adjustments by May 20.

“We don’t have money to fix most problems, so there’s not a whole lot of reasons to stay around here,” said Senate Major-

FAYETTEVILLE – Three men are accused of stealing a car Monday afternoon.

But not just any car.

It was a specially equipped car belonging to the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office and used to bait car thieves.

Jose Rashaan Akins, 28, and two homeless men, Tennell Washington, 28,

and 39-year-old Edward Allen Craig, were arrested.

Surveillance video shows Akins getting into the car that was parked on an unidentified rural road.

Akins is later seen getting out of the car in the parking lot of an apartment complex and trying to break into the trunk, the release said.

The video then shows the three leaving the parking lot before they are stopped by deputies.

Bladenboro police chief embroiled in controversy MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

BLADENBORO – Town Manager Delane Jackson says he hasn’t found any substance to allegations against Police Chief Ronnie Rising that brought an angry crowd to the town board’s meeting Monday.

More than 35 people attended the meeting, asking town leaders to look into allegations that Rising shared racially charged jokes and viewed pornography at the Police Department.

Jackson said the town wasn’t

made aware of the allegations until hours before the meeting. “But until I get some more details with names, places and proof of events actually happening, it’s hard for me to investigate,� Jackson said. “We are looking into it as much as we can, but it’s hard to do that when you don’t have many facts.�

Rising did not return phone messages to his office seeking comment Tuesday.

Jackson said he’ll continue investigating the allegations. So far, he said, he hasn’t found any evidence to support disciplinary action.

It’s too early to tell if the incidents are related, Acciardo said. An investigator has been assigned to the case.

Jackson said he personally checked the computers at the Police Department and found nothing out of the ordinary.

The controversy started last week when Bob Huffman of White Lake began circulating a handwritten letter around the town of about 2,000 people. Huffman worked for a number of years at a private medical practice next to the Bladenboro Police Department.

Reached by phone Tuesday, Huffman said he had been friends with Rising. Huffman said the chief often visited him at his office.

7 kids killed at China school in latest attack HANZHONG, China – A man charged into a kindergarten in northwestern China with a cleaver Wednesday and hacked to death seven children and two adults – the fifth such rampage in less than two months. The attacker, identified as 48-year-old Wu Huanming, then went home and killed himself.

The assault, which left 11 other children hospitalized, occurred despite heightened security countrywide, with gates and cameras installed at some schools and additional police and guards posted at entrances.

Taliban claims killing of Afghan prison official KABUL – Three NATO service members and three Afghan policemen were killed in southern Afghanistan on Wednesday, officials said, and the Taliban claimed responsibility for assassinating a senior prison official.

A suicide bomber attacked an Afghan police vehicle in the Dihrawud district of Uruzgan province, killing three policemen, said Gulab Khan, the criminal investigation director in the province.

Iraqi officials: 7 killed in Sadr City bombing BAGHDAD – A bomb in a parked car ripped through a Sadr City neighborhood Wednesday evening, killing seven young people who had gathered at a nearby cafe to drink tea and play dominoes, Iraqi officials said.

The attack comes just days after a string of shootings and bombings convulsed the country in Iraq’s worst violence so far this year.

Nepal police search for missing American hiker KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) – Police are scouring a remote region in northern Nepal, searching for a Colorado woman who has been missing since last month when she failed to check in after a solo hike in the Himalayan mountains, an official said Wednesday.

Aubrey Sacco, 23, of Greeley, was reported missing by her family. She had arrived in the Langtang area in the northern region of Nepal in April for a trek that was to last just over a week.

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) – A 10-year-old Dutch boy lay in a hospital bed, head bandaged, skin pale and legs shattered – the lone “miracle” survivor of a plane crash Wednesday that killed 103 people in the LibySurvivor an capital.

Most victims were Dutch tourists returning from vacation in South Africa.

Little was known about the dark-haired boy, who was rushed to a hospital in Tripoli where he underwent surgery for multiple fractures in both legs.

The barely conscious child muttered “Holland!

Holland!” after he was found, an official said.

Rescuers search the site of the Libyan jetliner crash in Tripoli, Libya, Wednesday.

Libyan TV footage showed the boy, one eye bruised and swollen closed, breathing through an oxygen mask with multiple intravenous lines connected to his body. Doctors later said he was out of danger.

The boy appeared groggy as he was tended by a doctor in green scrubs and a veiled, gloved and masked nurse. A bandage of layers of white gauze and hand-lettered with the date – 5/12 – covered his head.

Britain welcomes new government’s odd couple LONDON (AP) – Britain ushered in its first coalition government since World War II on Wednesday as a pair of rivals-turned-partners pledged to set aside their deep policy differences and tackle the country’s disastrous budget deficit.

Newly minted Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron and his Liberal Democrat deputy Nick Clegg showcased their pact in Downing Street’s sundappled garden. “This is what the new politics looks like,” Clegg said.

Cameron and his center-left partner pledged sweeping reforms to Parliament.

Thailand to cut water, power to protesters BANGKOK – Thai authorities prepared Wednesday to cut water, electricity and food supplies to anti-government demonstrators camped in central Bangkok, turning to siege tactics after a compromise offer failed to end their protest.

Officials originally planned to start the blockade at midnight, but then said it might be delayed because of problems for people not participating in the protest.

Russia, US moving toward deal on adoptions MOSCOW – Russia and the United States are moving closer to signing a new accord on adoptions, officials from both countries said Wednesday.

But how close is unclear. A Russian official said agreement has been reached on “all principal issues” and a deal should be signed within two months. The U.S. State Department spokesman, however, said that although the two countries have reached a “broad understanding,” many details still need to be worked out and the deal “is not done.”

What went wrong at oil rig?

A lot, probe finds WASHINGTON (AP) – Bad wiring and a leak in what’s supposed to be a “blowout preventer.�

Sealing problems that may have allowed a methane eruption. Even a dead battery, of all things.

New disclosures revealed a complex cascade of deep-sea equipment failures and procedural problems in the oil rig explosion and massive spill that is still fouling the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and threatening industries and wildlife near the coast and on shore.

The public also got its first look on Wednesday of oil gushing from the broken pipe that rests nearly a mile under wa-

ter as BP PLC, the well’s operator, released a video taken by a remote control camera. Oil flowing from a break in the yellowish pipe becomes lighter in color as it mixes with natural gas. Over the past 21 days more than 4 million gallons of oil have been released.

A litany of worrisome events and findings that were at play on the night of the well explosion and pipe rupture was described in internal corporate documents, marked confidential but provided to a House committee by BP and by the manufacturer of the safety device.

Lawmakers released them at a House hearing.

AP

This Monday image shows a small pollution containment chamber, known as the “top hat,� being loaded onto the deck of the motor vessel Gulf Protector in Port Fourchon, La. BP announced Wednesday that the “top hat� was on the sea floor near the well that has spewed at least 4 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

A senior BP executive, Lamar McKay, cautioned, “It’s inappropriate to draw any conclusions before all the facts are known.� But the documents established

the firmest evidence to date of the sequence of catastrophic events that led to the explosion and worsening spill, a series of failures more reminiscent of the loss of the

The National Weather Service said a storm system that was expected to move into the Plains and parts of the Midwest on Wednesday could bring more thunderstorms, heavy rain and possibly even tornadoes to a region that saw deadly twisters two days earlier.

Scientists were able to predict almost to the hour when Monday’s twisters might strike.

President Barack Obama (right) holds a bilateral meeting with Afghanistan’s President Hamid Karzai (left) in the Oval Office in Washington on Wednesday.

Obama: Afghan war will worsen before it improves WASHINGTON (AP) – The war in Afghanistan will get worse before it gets better, President Barack Obama warned on Wednesday, but he declared his plan to begin withdrawing U.S. forces next year remains on track.

Standing alongside Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Obama said, “What I’ve tried to emphasize is the fact that there is going to be some hard fighting over the next several months.�

The two leaders spoke at a White House news conference as U.S.led forces in Afghanistan prepare to push hard into the Taliban’s birthplace in Kandahar Province in June. The campaign for Kandahar, already under way in districts outside the

city, is expected to be among the bloodiest of the nearly nine-year-old war. “There is no denying the progress,� Obama said. “Nor, however, can we deny the very serious challenges still facing Afghanistan.�

Karzai’s warm White House welcome followed months of sniping and frustration over man-

agement of the war and about fraud allegations surrounding Karzai’s re-election last year.

Both leaders said disagreements are normal with so much at stake. “There are moments when we speak frankly to each other, and that frankness will only contribute to the strength of the relationship,� Karzai said with a smile.

Arizona governor wises up and gets criticized Let’s talk common sense. The Bible says: do unto others as you would want them to do unto you.

That doesn’t mean to let people run over you.

For instance, look what happened to the American Indian?

The Jews? Example: Wonder how Sitting Bull felt when the white man he trusted put him in a reservation, eating cornmeal and dried fish? His people’s land was taken by deceit and greed.

Anyone with the brain of a dodo bird can see that if something isn’t done, we are going to be on our own little reservation as drugs pour in from Mexico every day to feed our children and overpopulating this country needlessly as we try to go by planned parenthood. Does that sound like do unto others as you would want us to do unto you?

Since they have run Mexico into poverty, they want to do the same over here. A governor in Arizona has finally wised up and saw this.

But apparently our beloved president still wants the legal Hispanic vote and disagrees.

Bottom line, it appears that Obama is going to see that his $5 million is all he needs to escape our coming poverty. Think about it. Is he for us?

Two-thirds bonds is not the way

W

e all should be pleased that the city is about to begin work on a number of projects that will improve some infrastructure and enhance some neighborhoods.

Part of the $5.6 million the city is spending will be used for reconfiguration and resurfacing and marking of the parking lot on the north side of School Park Road, for improvements to rest rooms and concession facilities and renovation of the entrance to A.J. Simeon Stadium at High Point’s Athletic Complex. It also will complete the city’s greenway from University Park on Deep River Road to the Piedmont Environmental Center on Penny Road. Almost 45 percent of that money will be used for various road improvements, streetscapes, sidewalks and other work in core city (City Project) areas.

Those are fine ideas.

What isn’t fine about such activity is that the work is being financed by two-thirds bonds, for which taxpayers have no opportunity to vote. The theory is that using twothirds bonds will not require a tax increase.

In High Point’s case, city officials determined the projects can be paid for with money that’s already been allocated for debt services.

Keep in mind that whatever money is spent to retire these bonds is taxpayer money, whether or not it comes from funds already allocated for debt service. All money government spends is taxpayer funded.

State law allows local governments to borrow money equal to two-thirds of the amount of the previous year’s retired bond debt. So circumventing the will of the voters in cases such as this is legal. But, we ask, is it morally and ethically correct?

H

e purported to cure homosexual urges.

But if that were possible, you’d think he’d have started with himself.

Meaning psychologist Dr. George Rekers, 61, a leader of the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality.

NARTH believes gays can be made straight.

It is a belief the organization now struggles to reconcile with Rekers’ rather contradictory behavior.

As initially reported in Miami New Times, Rekers recently went on a two-week vacation to Europe. He took with him a male traveling companion, one Jovanni Roman – alias “Geo,” alias “Lucien,” age 20. Rekers found said traveling companion advertised on rentboy.com, a Web site featuring images of admirably fit young men whose gym fees and personal trainer costs evidently leave them little budget for clothing.

Rekers paid Roman’s expenses and gave him $75 a day. He certainly had the wherewithal to do so, having recently pocketed more than $120,000 from the state of Florida to testify in favor of the state’s ban on gay adoptions. So in effect, Florida taxpayers helped Rekers rent his rentboy. Florida, for what it’s worth, is projecting a $6 billion budget deficit for next year.

Both men say Rekers did not purchase sex.

Roman says he did, however, give Rekers nude “sexual massages” that stopped short of sexual release.

Reker’s explanation? He needed someone to carry his luggage. No, seriously, that’s his explanation.

If all this sounds like a rerun, that’s only because it is. Indeed, in recent years, the crusader against gay rights who is revealed to be secretly gay himself has become a “type,” ubiquitous to the point of cliche. The list includes disgraced evangelist Ted Haggard, the late former Spokane, Wash., Mayor James West, California state Sen. Roy Ashburn, Mel White, ghost writer for the likes of Jerry Falwell, who became a gay activist, and my personal favorite, Michael Bussee, a founder of Exodus International, another group that purported to cure homosexuality. He gave it up when he fell in love with a guy named Gary Cooper.

As much free material as fellows like this

provide for the likes of Jon Stewart and David Letterman, as perversely entertaining as it is to watch someone work out his private psychodrama in the public space, as fascinating as naked self-loathing can be, it is important to remember that this is not harmless. To OPINION the contrary, there is a moral crime here. We are, after all, Leonard talking about men in positions Pitts of authority and reach, men ■■■ who could make laws and influence public perception and who used that power against their own.

Put yourself in the shoes of the teenager, bewildered and frightened by these feelings he or she is not “supposed” to have, feelings of sexual attraction to people of the same gender. You try to deny them, try to ignore them, try to suppress them, but they will not go away. You are all alone, isolated behind a secret that presses down on you like weights, a fear of rejection that haunts you like ghosts.

And here comes Dr. Rekers telling you that you are abnormal, telling you that you are bad, telling you he can cure you, as if you had a disease like measles or the flu. Then, in his off hours, after he’s done curing you, he’s trolling rentboy.com looking for young men to handle his, ahem ... baggage.

That’s more than hypocrisy, more even than self-loathing. It is a betrayal of one’s own, a sellout of the most vulnerable. And what’s sad is not just that a George Rekers would do this, but that ours is a culture that would encourage and reward such duplicity in the first place.

He purported to heal homosexuals? One is reminded of an injunction from the book of Luke: “Physician, heal thyself” (4:23). Rekers would be wise to heed that advice.

Homosexual urges are the least of his afflictions.

Congress must get up to speed with constituent communications

BY ASHLEY EDWARDS

GUEST COLUMN

Y

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Drill, Baby, Drillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; quickly fades T

heyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried fire and robots and domes and booms and drones and boxes and rosary beads and even pantyhose stuffed with human hair, but so far nothing has slowed the Deepwater Horizon oil spill from creeping towards our Southern Coast like a drunken lobbyist staggering towards a free seafood buffet.

And almost as ugly. This maritime miasma promises to be the most monumental attack of sludge to hit American shores since Ann Coulterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recent book.

Hard to say what frightens Gulf Coast residents more; the toxic slick bearing down on their shore or the administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guarantee that our government is poised and ready to swoop in with federal assistance.

It worked so well after Katrina. The kind of news that prompts residents to wake screaming â&#x20AC;&#x201C; bathed in sweat â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from nightmares of FEMA loading trucks full of mutant hair sausages never to be delivered. And ice. But never let it be said that Congress doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to exploit a crisis.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve leaped into action and appointed a panel.

The one positive to come out of this amphibious affliction (besides never hearing another New Orleans restaurant say they are out of blackened redfish) is we can expect to hear a lot fewer of those strident rallying cries of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drill, Baby, Drillâ&#x20AC;? this election year.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already given way to the more muted

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cap, Baby, Cap,â&#x20AC;? and threaten to digress into â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tax, Baby, Tax.â&#x20AC;?

Right now though, OPINION those responsible Will seem to be Durst sticking â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; like shrimp to otter fur with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prevaricate, Baby, Prevaricate.â&#x20AC;?

BP, which apparently stands for Brainless Pinheads, first announced the seepage from the MC252 well (isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that cute) was barely a couple of drips. Nothing to worry about. More oil pooled on your average garage floor. Then it bounced up to 1,000 barrels a day, then 2,000, and now that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re obviously in gushing territory estimates are not really useful anymore. Numbers can be so misleading.

Chemicals were sprayed on the leak to disperse it, but that was curtailed because the dispersant might be doing more harm than good. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know.

Oh, good. Turns out, these guys donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know a lot. They wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even say

whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the dispersant because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proprietary.

All they can reveal is itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not harmful. However, if you do happen to get a smidgeon on your skin, you immediately want to flush it with a bleach bath. That they know.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think a company that makes its living poking holes in the bottom of seas would have a plan to close them back up, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you? Well, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be wrong. Actually, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be half wrong. They do have means. Using technology theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re required to install when drilling in other countries. Not here, though. We encourage voluntary participation. And let the industry write the regs. And then pray to the oil fairies.

Maybe this will signal an end to our bowing down to the fossil fuel gods. Maybe Obama will seize this reprehensible moment to carve out an anti-carbon strategy and the whole country will rise as one and demand a national policy based on clean energies and shared sacrifice.

oung voters care about issues like health care, the environment and the education system, but they are having trouble getting their voices heard.

Different generations speak the same language, but the media used has changed. Some 74.1 percent of all Americans now use the Internet, and Facebook.com has been ranked as second-most used Web site in the United States. Gen Yers and even Gen Xers have turned increasingly to digital media communication.

Unfortunately, members of Congress do not solicit text messages, twitter updates, Facebook statuses or youtube videos. The opinions of an entire voting segment are being lost because they feel as if their voices arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being read from their Twitter accounts or their Facebook notes.

One in three teens sends over 100 texts a day, yet politicians have not found a way to allow voters to text them their opinions.

From here, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a short step to lack of interest in the political system.

The consequence would be a generation lost from our political system.

And our system cannot function well if our constituent groups fail to vote and participate in the political system.

Moreover, our information moves at the speed of light and these young generations expect change or responses within days, not the years that the pace of Congress can take.

So Gen Yers get bored with politics because taking the time to change things seems too slow compared to the speed of information found and changed on popular sites like Wikipedia and Twitter. The problem is that our elected representatives are not keeping up with the increased pace of communication.

up with his Internet supporters; he has a Facebook fan page, although it is not open to posts from fans and he releases YouTube videos about current issues.

These are great ways to keep his supporters abreast of his views on the issues, but how are his Internet supporters expected to keep him informed about the public opinion?

Surely, if he thinks that the Internet is the way most young voters receive their information, he should think that the Internet is also their preferred way of disseminating their own information.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it, most Gen Yers wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start writing letters. The new rally is online and the politicians of this era need to find a way to judge the opinions of Americans from the Internet. This might require polls set up on popular sites, or form letters where one can simply sign their name in agreement or trying to analyze the Twitter updates to get a feel for the public opinion.

Neither Kay Hagan nor Richard Burr, the North Carolina senators, has a fast way to let voters express their opinions on current issues. Both have the typical comments box where one can write long letters, but neither have a quick way for voters to be polled on hot topics.

Young voters are increasingly communicating online and politicians need a way to capture these views on issues like health care, the environment and the education system. If these voices are to be heard, elected officials will need to communicate with them on their level.

Federal budget deficit soars in April

BRIEFS

---

California wildfire burns near homes PEDLEY, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Fire spread across about 40 acres of brushy hills Wednesday, forcing evacuation of part of a Southern California mobile home community.

Winds up to 15 mph pushed the fire. Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputies evacuated 32 of 126 homes in the Santiago Estates Mobile Home Park.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The federal budget deficit hit an all-time high for April as the government kept spending to aid the recovery while revenue fell sharply.

The Treasury Department said Wednesday the April deficit soared to $82.7 billion. That was significantly higher than last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s April deficit of $20 billion and the largest imbalance for that month on record.

The government normally runs surpluses in April as millions of

taxpayers file their income tax returns. However, income tax payments were down this April, reflecting the impact of the recession which has pushed millions of people out of work.

Total revenues for April were down 7.9 percent from a year ago.

The Obama administration forecast in February that the deficit for this year will hit an all-time high of $1.56 trillion, surpassing the current record $1.4 trillion set last year.

Many private economists be-

lieve this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imbalance will be closer to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s figure and that deficits will remain high for years to come.

The trillion-dollar-plus deficits are being driven by the impact of the recession, which has cut government tax revenue while driving up spending.

Aprilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record deficit was a little misleading because about a third of the increase was the result of federal benefits for May that were paid on the last day in April, analysts note.

Judge: Elderly sister can keep full lottery NEW HAVEN, Conn. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A judge says an elderly Connecticut woman doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to share her half of a $500,000 lottery windfall with the sister who sued her over it.

Eighty-seven-year-old Rose Bakaysa and her 84year-old sister, Theresa Sokaitis, have been fighting over the money in court since 2005. Sokaitis says they signed a notarized contract a decade earlier to split all gambling profits. Bakaysa says that deal ended in 2004 during a spat over a few hundred dollars.

Man, 22, accused of posing as student ODESSA, Texas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A 22-year-old man accused of posing as a high school basketball player in Texas was released from jail Wednesday.

Guerdwich Montimere posted $500 bond.

School officials said Montimere admitted posing as Jerry Joseph, a 16-year-old sophomore who led Permian High School to the state playoffs.

An investigator takes photos of an adjacent house damaged when a house exploded, Wednesday, in Cleveland.

Blast levels 3 Cleveland homes CLEVELAND (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An explosion rattled Cleveland and its suburbs on Wednesday, destroying three houses, damaging at least 12 others and injuring at least 11 people, though none seriously, authorities said.

The blast around 8 a.m. demolished an apparently unoccupied home, leaving a hole. Only the chimney was left of one adjacent home, and another had just one wall standing.

Authorities evacuated the street where the explosion occurred, located on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s east side, and were checking for leaking natural gas. City and federal authorities were trying to determine the cause of the blast.

Fire Department spokesman Larry Gray said the injuries were minor, mostly burns. MetroHealth Medical Center said it received six adults and five children from the scene.

Neighbors told firefighters that the house that blew up was vacant, Gray said.

People living in suburbs at least 10 miles away reported feeling the explosion.

Neil Durbin, a spokesman for Dominion East Ohio, said crews were canvassing the area for gas leaks and shut off

service to 17 homes as a safety measure.

A public school located in the neighborhood closed for the day before students arrived.

A blast in January destroyed a house on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s west side and damaged more than 50 others.

A neighbor with two arson convictions has been charged in that explosion.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan defended herself Wednesday against Republican charges sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not fit to be a justice as she met for the first time with senators who hold the key to her confirmation.

Mostly mum in public as she made the rounds on Capitol Hill, Kagan sought during a series of private meetings to beat back GOP suggestions that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be a liberal rubber stamp for President Obama, who named her Monday to succeed retiring Justice John Paul Stevens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been politically active throughout her life, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identified with the American liberal position, she clerked for two activist judges,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the top Republican on the Judiciary panel that will hold hearings on Kaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nomination.

Educators share Spirit of the Foundation award

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Two women who have dedicated years of service to High Point and surrounding communities while battling struggles of their own were recognized at the High Point Community Foundation’s annual luncheon on Wednesday.

Martha Yarborough and Vicki Miller, both

‘When my husband died, I had the choice to move on or move backward.

Moving on, to me, is giving to others.’

Martha Yarborough Spirit of the Foundation award co-recipient retired educators from Guilford County Schools, were co-recipients of the Spirit of the Foundation award.

The award was established to recognize extraordinary contributions of time, leadership and vision, said foundation President Paul Les-

sard. “These are two very strong women,” Lessard said at the event.

Video presentations were made about the life of each woman, documenting successes and struggles.

Yarborough, who obtained an education degree from Greensboro College, dedicated her life to teaching and raising her family. She joined the staff at High Point Central with Communities In Schools when both of her sons reached high school. She also taught special-needs students and placed them in jobs throughout Guilford County. It was in 2006, however, that she faced her biggest hurdle when her husband, Yogi Yarborough, died from complications caused by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. She then began focusing her time on volunteer work at organizations such as the High Point Family Life Council, the YWCA and the HPCF, where she is chairman of the Heart of High Point Fund.

“For me, this is sort of a culmination of a journey,” she said about receiving the award.

“When my husband died, I had the choice to move on or move backward.

Moving on, to me, is giving to others.”

Vicki Miller (left) and Martha Yarborough, retired educators from Guilford County Schools, were co-recipients of the Spirit of the Foundation award.

Vicki Miller faced similar struggles and triumphs. She earned a degree in music education, married and had two children, but found herself amid a divorce 10 years later. She remained a single, working mother for 14 years until she met her current husband,

David Miller. She is the creator of the Ferndale PRIDE program, which promotes community service, and is the recipient of the North Carolina PTA Outstanding Educator award. She also is chairperson of HPCF’s Principal’s Fund.

“I’m so grateful,” Mill-

er said. “But it almost seems odd to get an award for doing the work I love to do and the work I felt God called me to do.”

Past recipients of the award include Bill Horney, Judy Mendenhall, Dan Odom and Ed Price. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Man held in murder gets new counsel

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – A High Point man facing the death penalty got his wish this week when a judge approved his request for new representation as his case moves forward.

Superior Court Judge L. Todd Burke of Forsyth County granted Keith Lauchon Jackson Jr.’s motion to discharge his attorneys and have new defense counsel appointed through the state Office of the Capital Defender.

Jackson filed a handwritten motion last month, claiming that his court-appointed attorneys, Jim Kimel and Robert McClellan, both of Greensboro, were in-

effective in helping him defend himself against a capital first-degree murder charge in the Oct. 31, 2007, shooting death of Joshua Matthew Jackson Sweitzer, who was working as a clerk at what was then the Lucky Mart convenience store in south High Point.

“It’s been my experience with these two attorneys that they’re very conscientious and do care about winning,” Burke told Jackson during a hearing on the motion.

The judge nevertheless granted the motion after McClellan and Kimel said they believe there are

irreconcilable differences with their client.

Sweitzer’s mother, Phoebe Shepherd, attended the hearing and said she understands that capital murder cases take a long time to proceed through the court system.

“I am willing to patiently wait however many years as necessary for the state of North Carolina to obtain a death penalty verdict against Mr. Jackson. Anything less will be an injustice to my son Josh in my book,” Shepherd said.

The developments in the case left unresolved a pending motion

by Kimel and McClellan seeking to delay Jackson’s trial until information is gathered on what

role race may play in North Carolina’s use of capital punishment.

Attorneys for capital murder defendants across the state have filed similar motions in the wake of the passage of North Carolina’s Racial Justice Act, which allows suspects and death-row inmates to try to prove that racial bias was behind prosecutors’ decisions to seek the death penalty or jurors’ decisions to impose it.

Jackson, 21, already has been sentenced to 55 years in federal prison for his role in a string of armed robberies in High Point and Davidson County. A trial date on the murder charge has not been set. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Agencies prepare for motorists survey ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

TRIAD – Motorists traveling in 11 counties across the Piedmont may be asked to pull over starting later this month by someone in a position of authority, but it won’t be to receive a ticket.

Instead, it will be to ask their opinion about traveling the state’s roadways.

Beginning May 24, sur-

vey-takers will conduct interviews along strategic routes throughout the region, report the N.C. Department of Transportation and Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation, which will conduct the surveys.

PART is the mass transit agency for the region.

The surveys will be taken in Alamance, Caswell, Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, Guilford, Orange,

Randolph, Rockingham, Stokes and Yadkin counties. The results will be used by transportation officials to help develop long-range plans and identify priorities. The surveys will conclude in late May and early June.

“By taking a couple moments of their time, motorists are helping planning officials determine the type and location for transportation improve-

ments. They are also helping officials determine the priority order for these projects,” said Mike Bruff, manager of the DOT Transportation Planning Branch.

Survey-takers will randomly stop motorists at designated sites and ask questions about their trip, though the interviews will be at locations that don’t disrupt traffic flow. The questions will involve the

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

motorists’ trip origin and destination, as well as their general purpose of travel. Personal information about the motorists won’t be collected.

For the safety of motorists and the survey-takers, drivers are asked to slow down as they approach the sites and obey traffic control signs and personnel. For more information, contact Scott Rhine with PART at 662-0002.

Lawmaker told video poker could net $576M RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The North Carolina Education Lottery says the state could one day generate $576 million annually if lawmakers legalize video poker machines again and regulate them heavily.

The lottery released on

Wednesday its analysis for a state senator who sought information on state revenues that could originate from casinostyle video gambling games.

The Legislature banned video poker machines in 2007 but judges say simi-

lar-style sweepstakes games are exempt from the prohibition. Those cases are pending.

Sen. David Hoyle of Gaston County has suggested lawmakers could legalize video poker again and regulate them through the lottery.

Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shame over infidelity prompts suicide thoughts

D

ear Abby: I have been married 19 years to a beautiful, accomplished woman.

We have two wonderful children. I fooled around throughout my marriage because I could. I justified it by telling myself the women knew what they were doing, and I never made any false promises about leaving my wife.

She suspected a couple of times, but always gave me the benefit of the doubt.

My last affair ended publicly with every gory detail exposed. My family, work, reputation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; everything that mattered to me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have been destroyed. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk about any of it to a therapist because I am so ashamed. Friends, family and co-workers now shun me. I have hit rock bottom.

If you have a hopeful solution, please share it.

Otherwise, please print this as a warning to other men like me that when they hit bottom â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as will surely happen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nowhere to turn. I want to end my life. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Shattered in Louisiana

to discuss everything that has happened from the beginning.

There is life after diADVICE vorce. And, as many Dear celebrities Abby can attest, â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; there is also life after public embarrassment and career setbacks. So straighten your backbone and keep marching forward. While it may not seem like it right now, there are better days ahead.

Dear Abby: My mother and I rarely get along â&#x20AC;&#x201C; mainly because she thinks sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fabulous and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in my 30s, married with a child and have a career. I am tired of riding an emotional roller coaster with Mother.

She is planning her next visit and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want her to come. Her visits end up lasting a week or more, and her conversation consists Dear Shattered: I of complaining, making understand this experience snide comments about has been painful for all my house and how I am concerned, but stop focusraising my child (under ing only about yourself the guise of being â&#x20AC;&#x153;helpand your pain. Suicide fulâ&#x20AC;?), and then whining may seem like a solution because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the to your problems, but your time or desire to enterchildren need you alive and tain or placate her. functional â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and their needs Can you tell me how must take precedence. to tell her that visits to Find a therapist â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some- my house are no longer one you can relate to, welcomed? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Done With and feel safe enough with The Drama

Dear Done: When your mother raises the subject of her visit, tell her that she would be more comfortable staying at a hotel when she comes and so would you. That way you can control the amount of time you spend together.

Offer to split the cost with her, then pray she agrees.

Dear Abby: Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new one for you. A group of friends and I are frequent customers on some of the home shopping channels. When we buy jewelry it arrives in a gift case or box. We hate to throw them away.

Any ideas on how we can donate or recycle those gift boxes? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Diana in Lakewood, Calif.

Dear Diana: Depending upon how you store your jewelry, you could keep the items in their presentation boxes in a drawer with the tops open, so the drawer becomes a large jewelry box and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t become scratched. Or, save the boxes and reuse them when giving small gifts at Christmas or on birthdays. If you know of any people or groups who make jewelry or other crafts, offer the boxes to them. Otherwise, (sob!) itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s off to the landfill.

Parents spread word of son’s illness – amyloidosis

D

ear Dr. Donohue: Our son fought amyloidosis, which took his life on Oct. 10, 2009. We hope you make this disease a topic for a column. Our family’s mission is to aggressively spread the word and hopefully save lives.

We are meeting with the director of the Amyloid Treatment and Research Program from Boston University Medical School and the Boston Medical Center. He would be appreciative of your interest in reporting on amyloidosis. – J.S.

BLONDIE

B.C.

My sincerest sympathy to you and your family on the death of your son.

It’s difficult to imagine a greater sorrow than the death of a child. My best to you in spreading the word on amyloidosis.

It’s an unusual illness. The body makes a strange kind of protein that infiltrates tissues and organs and interferes with their functioning.

The heart (as in your son’s case), kidneys, liver, adrenal glands, thyroid gland, nerves and the pituitary gland are potential targets. The array of possible symptoms, therefore, is great.

Sometimes amyloidosis is seen in conjunction with other conditions, like the cancer multiple myeloma and rheumatoid arthritis.

The kidneys are the most frequently targeted organs. Signs of that happening are the appearance of protein in the

urine and fluid retention.

The heart is second on the list of involved organs.

It’s unable to pump blood, and heart failure is a conse-

quence.

Since the presentation of amyloidosis can be quite confusing, it should be considered in patients with large amounts of protein in the urine, patients with large hearts or patients with liver malfunction when no cause can be found for these abnormalities.

Biopsy provides the best evidence of amyloidosis, and biopsy of abdominal fat is a simple way to obtain suitable tissue for microscopic proof.

I hope such a brief exposure introduces people to this illness and to the wonderful work on it being done at Boston University Medical School and the Boston Medical Center.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I have congestive heart failure. I see ads for EECP, enhanced external counter pulsation, as a remedy for it and other heart problems I’ve never read any literature on EECP and would appreciate your opinion. It doesn’t seem widely used. – L.S.

Enhanced external counter pulsation is used mostly for the treatment of angina – chest pain due to clogged heart arteries.

The pain comes on when a person is active, stops when the person rests and returns when activity resumes.

Three inflatable cuffs are wrapped around the legs – one at the calves, one at the lower thigh and the third at the upper thigh. The cuffs are programmed to inflate when the heart is filling with blood and to deflate when it’s pumping blood.

They do so in sequence from bottom to top. This squeezing action propels blood back to the heart and the heart muscle, increasing its nourishment.

The procedure takes about an hour. A total of 35 sessions spread over seven weeks is the standard treatment schedule.

People with angina that doesn’t respond to the usual treatments have obtained improvement with this technique. It can be used for heart-failure patients, too. It’s considered when more-standard methods are not yielding satisfactory results. Make sure that your insurance covers this therapy.

DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475

Crowe brings scruffy new look to ‘Robin Hood’ DAVID GERMAIN AP MOVIE WRITER

L

OS ANGELES –The legend of Robin Hood, king of the rogues, is best summed up by Roger Miller, the guy who sang “King of the Road.”

“There’s been a heap of legends and tall tales about Robin Hood. All different, too,” Miller says as the voice of the minstrel rooster who narrates Disney’s 1973 animated “Robin Hood.”

That version cast the thief of Sherwood Forest as a wily fox. The latest rendition, Ridley Scott’s “Robin Hood,” has Russell Crowe as a bit of a poser and huckster named Robin Longstride, a brooding, scruffy footsoldier back from the Crusades and a siege in France.

Though a skilled and loyal archer of King Richard the Lion-Heart, Crowe’s Robin returns to England such a footsore, slovenly wreck that when he gets a nice dinner invitation, he’s told to bathe first because he stinks.

It’s a wild contrast to Hollywood’s standardbearer as the merry bandit of Sherwood Forest, Errol Flynn, who starred in the 1938 Technicolor extravaganza “The Adventures of Robin Hood.”

Flynn’s Robin dresses like a dandy in green tights and tunic, with frills and spangles, plus a feather in his hat. Crowe and Scott had no interest in perpetuating that

UNIVERSAL PICTURES | AP

Russell Crowe portrays the title character in this latest version of “Robin Hood.” cliched fashion sense, and they wanted to spin a more authentic period drama of the late 12th and early 13th centuries to explain how the legend arose of a Robin Hood who steals from the rich to look after the poor.

“He’s a guy who’s been on the road, as opposed to a guy walking around with a feather in his hat and wearing a little green skirt. I never liked that Robin Hood. I couldn’t buy it,” Scott said. “The film starts to build the process of how Robin becomes Robin Hood. In a funny way, it’s like a prequel to Robin Hood.”

“Robin Hood” was the opening-night premiere Wednesday at the Cannes Film Festival, coinciding with its release in France. The film debuts theatrically in most other countries over the next

two days, including the United States on Friday.

The film co-stars Cate Blanchett as Lady Marian, more of a warrior princess than the Maid Marian damsels of past films, including Olivia de Havilland as Flynn’s romantic interest.

Dozens of movies and TV shows have taken up the “Robin Hood” story, the earliest dating back to silent film days a century ago. Douglas Fairbanks starred in the 1922 silent epic “Robin Hood,” a blockbuster of its era whose acrobatic action was a blueprint for Flynn’s swashbuckler 16 years later.

A rush of B-movies followed the 1938 version over the next two decades, such as 1948’s “The Prince of Thieves” and 1954’s “The Men of Sherwood Forest,” featur-

ing Robin Hoods cast in the mold of Flynn.

“He is to Robin Hood what Sean Connery is to James Bond,” said Allen W. Wright, a Robin Hood enthusiast who oversees the Web site www.boldoutlaw.com, dedicated to the lore and literature of the hero. “If I close my eyes and someone says, ‘Robin Hood,’ I see Errol Flynn.”

Richard Greene played the lead in the 1950s TV series “The Adventures of Robin Hood.” Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack buddies updated the story to Prohibitionera Chicago with 1964’s “Robin and the 7 Hoods.”

The Disney cartoon carried on Robin’s traditional green-clad style, while Connery embodied a more frazzled, worldweary look in 1976’s “Robin and Marian,” co-

starring Audrey Hepburn as Robin’s great love.

Kevin Costner scored a blockbuster with 1991’s “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves,” playing the character as a sensitive New Age dreamboat.

Then Mel Brooks turned around and mocked the legend with 1993’s “Robin Hood: Men in Tights.”

The versions all differ in the details, yet a few key threads run through most Robin Hood tales, from the 15th and 16th century ballads that first popularized the figure through the films and TV shows.

“The one consistent thing is he’s an outlaw,” said Alan Lupack, director of the University of Rochester’s Robbins Library, which houses the Robin Hood Project, a collection of texts, images and other materials.

“He’s outside the law and often resisting unjust authority, but whatever he’s doing, there’s always that conflict with authority.”

Like many Robin Hood stories, Crowe and Scott’s new take is set in the era of King Richard and his conniving brother, Prince John. Crowe’s Robin returns to an England bankrupt from “foreign adventures,” the citizenry fed up with high taxes and leaders scheming to profit at the expense of the little guy.

Good timing, given today’s economic and political climate, yet Robin Hood stories always have bended to the times.

JESSIE STONE

----

Tom Selleck’s sixth turn for CBS as lawman Jesse Stone is bittersweet: The movie is airing less than five months after the death of Robert Parker, the novelist who created Stone.

“Jesse Stone: No Remorse” is dedicated to Parker. The author wasn’t involved with the production but saw the finished TV movie before his heart attack in January, Selleck said. He gave it his blessing, as he had the other Stone films.

“I don’t want to hype what Bob said about the show, but he said really wonderful things and he didn’t always feel that way about characters” adapted from his novels, the actor said. “He is – I still talk in the present tense about him – he was something of a curmudgeon.

Praise did not come easy.”

Selleck recalled Parker telling him he had shed tears of joy when he saw “Stone Cold,” the first CBS movie based on his work, because he felt “the spirit of the storytelling was captured.”

The actor has long admired Parker’s novels, including his sharp dialogue.

Stone’s flaws – he’s bedeviled by women and drinking – drew Selleck to the first movie and have kept him hooked.

In “Jesse Stone: No Remorse,” Stone is moonlighting on a serial murder case in Boston after being suspended from his job as police chief of Paradise, Massachusetts.

Kathy Baker, Kohl Sudduth, William Devane and William Sadler co-star in the TV movie.

Parker’s friendship and sense of humor are missed

by Selleck, but he’s not saying goodbye to Stone. A seventh movie for CBS has been completed and work is under way on No. 8.

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

When I watched today’s deal at the club, everybody was arguing – as players will do – not only about what happened but about what might have happened.

At four spades, South won the first diamond with the ace, took the ace of clubs and gave up a club. East won and shifted promptly to the ace and a low trump, and the contract was unmakable.

South drew trumps and led the jack of hearts, but East took the ace and cashed a club for down one.

DAILY QUESTION DUSTY “Your attic seems to be a little dusty,” North told his partner. “Concede a club without taking the ace. If the defenders clear dummy’s trumps, you can draw trumps and force out the ace of hearts to get a discard for your last low club.”

The argument heated up when North asserted that no defense would beat the contract. Do you agree?

East-West can come out on top if West’s opening lead is a trump, ducked

by East. Whether South leads a low club or the jack of hearts at Trick Two, the defenders have a route to four tricks.

You hold: S K J 10 9 6 4 H J 4 D 6 3 C A 5 3. You open two spades (weak) and your partner bids three spades. The opponents pass. What do you say?

ANSWER: Pass (without looking at your hand). Partner’s raise is preemptive, not constructive. If he were interested in game, he would start with a response of 2NT, which all pairs treat as some type of artificial inquiry, or with a bid of a new suit.

He may have a hand such as Q 2, 7 6 5, A 8 7 5 2, 8 7 6.

North dealer Both sides vulnerable

---

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

N

Two and one-half hour finale airºs at 9 p.m. May 23 on ABC. the island. Except for the ones who want to leave it again. But none of them can leave it alone.

That goes double for “Lost” viewers.

In an alternate universe where no one ever heard of “Lost,” what would people do with all that time they didn’t spend immersed in “Lost” lore and theories? What would they have found to investigate and argue about otherwise? Sports, politics, religion – how elementary without “Lost” factored in!

Lately, everybody’s psyched by the emergence of 3-D television. But “Lost,” from its start in fall 2004, was destined to

leapfrog from TV’s traditional flat surface into multiple dimensions of time and space.

Flashbacks! Flash-forwards!

Parallel narratives! Sideways, too! “Lost” has always surpassed 3-D, and without those funny glasses.

The pilot episode put us on notice. Its opening scene showed a bloodied young man (Matthew Fox) regaining consciousness in a bamboo grove, then stumbling to the nearby beach to find a ghastly spectacle: pieces of an aircraft strewn across the sand with his fellow passengers injured or dying.

This was Oceanic Airlines flight 815 from Sydney, which crashed for no clear reason en route to Los Angeles.

From that haunting twohour premiere (which ABC will re-air at 8 p.m. on May 22), “Lost” has never loosened its grip.

It has continued to be gor-

geous cinematically, from its lush Hawaii locations to its meticulous-in-every-detail art direction. The musical score is evocative and stirring.

Dozens of the characters will stick with fans for good, along with the actors who played them. The aforementioned Fox, plus Evangeline Lily, Terry O’Quinn and Michael Emerson spring instantly to mind, just for starters. Other actors not nearly so accomplished – like dimpled hunk Josh Holloway, whose skill set is limited to cockiness and snarling – are also lodged forever in my mind.

I bow to the show’s everthickening deposits of mythology. Its hairpin, sometimes preposterous plot twists. Information fiendishly withheld or kept in crazy-making flux. The circular, oblique dialogue. Putting it simply, nothing has ever been simple on “Lost.”

Reality TV’s Kristin Cavallari lets her guard down ALICIA RANCILIO ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

N

EW YORK – Those familiar with reality star Kristin Cavallari know that she’s brutally honest and doesn’t sugarcoat her feelings. That’s probably contributed to an unflattering label she’s had since starring on MTV’s “Laguna Beach.”

MTV even played off Cavallari’s reputation as being mean when she joined “The Hills” after Lauren Conrad left the show. (Cavallari became a celebrity in 2004 when MTV tracked her high school love life and rivalry with Conrad on “Laguna Beach.”)

Cavallari, 23, talked about being honest, tabloid stories about drug use and proving herself as an actress in a recent

interview with The Associated Press.

AP: You became famous on MTV’s “Laguna Beach” when you were in high school and quickly became an It Girl. What have you learned about fame?

Cavallari: It can be kind of lonely sometimes.

AP: Did you talk to Lauren Conrad before replacing her on “The Hills”? (Cavallari’s first scene was showing up at the wedding of the series’ duo, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt.)

Cavallari: No, I wasn’t allowed to tell anyone I was coming to the wedding.

AP: And then you walked into the church by yourself and everyone looked surprised. Was that real?

Cavallari: I was so nervous walking into the

Kristin Cavallari church! I didn’t know how everyone was gonna react. It ended up being

OK. Even though you didn’t see it on camera, Lauren and I actually

walked out of the church arm and arm. Things were OK. (Laughs.)

AP: What did you think about MTV’s ads when you joined “The Hills”?

Are you OK with your reputation?

Cavallari: I’m definitely very honest. I go after what I want. ... MTV actually asked me if they could do “the bitch is back” slogan and I said, “Of course.” I mean I think it’s funny, you know, it’s a TV show and I want to have fun with it. And it’s fun to play it up for the cameras, too.

AP: The new episodes of “The Hills” address a tabloid report that you were using drugs, which you’ve denied. What was that like?

Cavallari: It was very, very difficult. The thing is, it’s one thing if it’s just

on the show, you know, fine, I understand the show needs drama and that’s what it’s about. But when it’s in tabloids and it’s starting to affect my personal life, it’s not cool.

And it was a very difficult thing for me to deal with.

But at the same time, I feel like it was so stupid, and there really wasn’t a story there, that it just died down. ... It’s just a stupid rumor. So, I’m not too worried about it.

AP: When you’re auditioning for acting roles, do you feel you have more to prove because you come from a reality TV background?

Cavallari: I definitely feel like I have to prove myself 10 times more. Everyone assumes because I’m on a reality show I can’t act. Which is fine.

It’s just another battle I have to fight.

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

Southwest Guilford’s Joel Shuford (left) and Andrew Daniel look to net a N.C. High School Athletic Association 4A state doubles title this weekend in Raleigh. Shuford and Daniel enter as the Midwest Regional’s No. 1 seed.

Southwest duo doubles down T

wo of the most successful tennis players in Southwest Guilford history find themselves just four wins away from the ultimate prize.

When the N.C. High School Athletic Association 4A championships open Friday at Millbrook Exchange Park in Raleigh, Joel Shuford and Andrew Daniel will face off against some of the state’s most talented twosomes in the doubles bracket. Shuford and Daniel enter as the Midwest Regional’s No. 1 seed after winning last week’s tournament.

“I told them they were the best team in the tournament. They didn’t believe me,” Cowboys coach Denny Wesney said of the regional. “They’re two great young men. Especially for Joel, him being a senior, this is a nice way for him to end.”

In 10 years leading the Cowboys, Wesney never has had a doubles team win a regional championship, and the only duo to advance to the state tournament was Andrew Guenther and Travis Lynk six years ago. This weekend marks the first state championship appearances for Shuford and Daniel, but neither is a stranger to success.

Shuford, thrown into the fire

as a freshman the year Southwest lost its top 11 players due to graduation, has played No. 1 doubles all four years for the Cowboys. RegardSPORTS less of how the weekend plays out, Steve he’ll leave SouthHanf west as the all-time ■■■ winningest doubles player.

Daniel, a junior, is just 17 matches off the pace as the alltime winningest player in school history for singles and doubles combined. With 70 career wins, he may even reach the century mark next spring – especially if Wesney doesn’t sub him out of matches against weaker teams like he’s done in the past.

“Maybe next year I’ll let him have a shot at it,” the coach mused.

Together, Shuford and Daniel have been a nearly unstoppable force. They lost their first match of the spring to Northwest Guilford and their second to Ragsdale. They’ve won 13 in a row since, including a 9-8 scrape past rival Ragsdale in the second meeting and a thorough 8-3 beat-

ing the third time around.

The top two players in the singles lineup hit together over the summer, and they knew entering the season they’d be the Cowboys’ No. 1 doubles team.

“Normally I don’t play my 1 and 2 together – I try to separate them to make two strong doubles teams,” Wesney said. “But moving up to 4A, I knew we needed a really strong No. 1 team, and I knew they would be there.”

Shuford, in his third straight season with a different doubles partner, handled the transition with ease.

“It’s great,” he said. “Every year it gets better and better.”

What does he like about playing with Daniel?

“I can expect more balls to be in the court,” Shuford said with a laugh.

High praise indeed for Daniel: “’I’ll take it,” the junior responded with a smile.

The teammates spent much of their last week of practice either playing Wesney or competing in singles. They actually learn a lot just by playing against each other.

“It helps me figure out what he’s going to do with the ball,” Shuford said of those tune-up sessions.

Celtics aim to bounce Cavs WALTHAM, Mass. (AP) – Glen Davis sat beside the practice court, recalling the last time the Boston Celtics led a playoff series 3-2.

That happened just last year when an injured Kevin Garnett had his own seat at courtside. He watched helplessly in street clothes as the Celtics lost the next two games to the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Now Boston holds a 32 lead in that same round against the Cleveland Cavaliers. But Garnett’s right

knee is healthy again and he’s playing some of his best basketball of the season. His offense has picked up and on Tuesday night he directed a defense that shut down LeBron James in a 120-88 rout in Cleveland.

“It’s a different ballgame when you’ve got one of your star players in there,” Davis said in a soft voice after a brief practice Wednesday.

“He can carry a team with his actions.”

That’s what James usually does. But one more loss tonight in Boston and the team

with the NBA’s best record won’t even reach the conference final. Orlando already has made it by sweeping Atlanta in four games.

The league’s MVP had one of his worst playoff games in Game 5, finishing with 15 points on 3-for-14 shooting after being blanked from the field in the first half.

Garnett, a 15-year veteran, averaged 14.3 points during the regular season. But he’s been remarkably consistent against Cleveland, scoring 18, 18, 19, 18, and 18 points in the five games.

“Playing somebody better than you helps out,” reasoned Daniel.

This year’s success on the tennis court actually has put a crimp in Daniel’s plans for his primary sport. Last weekend, Daniel didn’t even stick around long enough to receive his regional championship medal: His Jamestown Soccer Club squad was competing in the State Cup, and Daniel played five sets of tennis, raced to his soccer game, immediately took the field – and scored a goal less than 10 minutes later.

Should the Cowboys advance to Saturday’s semifinal and championship matches in the tennis tournament, Daniel will be forced to miss his next soccer game.

Shuford and Daniel, who don’t play year-round or take lessons anymore, open against Wilmington Hoggard’s Philip Bonner and Matt Johnson.

“AD is real consistent, he’s got real good hands. Joel hits the ball a little bit harder, has a bigger serve,” Wesney said. “They’re both very good off the ground – they complement one another real well.”

Win or lose this weekend, they’ll be remembered as aces at Southwest for a long time. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

ACC/BIG TEN CHALLENGE MATCHUPS SET

---

NEW YORK (AP) – Final Four teams Duke and Michigan State will face off in the 12th annual ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

The Spartans, who lost in the semifinals to Butler, will play at the national champion Blue Devils on Dec. 1.

Other marquee matchups announced Wednesday include Purdue at Virginia Tech, also Dec. 1, and North Carolina at Illinois and Ohio State at Florida State on Nov. 30.

The series opens Nov. 29 with Virginia at Minnesota. Also on Nov. 30 are Michigan at Clemson, Georgia Tech at Northwestern, and Iowa at Wake Forest. The final three games Dec. 1 are N.C. State at Wisconsin, Indiana at Boston College and Maryland at Penn State.

The games will be broadcast on ESPN networks.

The Big Ten won last season for the first time in 10 years.

HIT AND RUN

---

S

o far, the Orlando Magic have this NBA playoff thing down pat.

Orlando completed its second straight playoff sweep with a 98-84 victory over Atlanta on Monday night.

That gives the Magic back-to-back fourgame sweeps to open this postseason, 14 straight victories dating to the end of the regular season and 28 wins in their last 31 games overall.

That’s pretty impressive.

Orlando won the four games against Atlanta by an average of 25.3 points per game.

Factoring in the first-round sweep of Charlotte, the Magic won its eight postseason games by nearly 18 ppg.

And this is far from a one-man Magic show. While Dwight Howard has been slowed by foul trouble at times this postseason, his teammates have more than picked up the slack.

Vince Carter, Jameer Nelson, Rashard

Lewis and Mickael Pietrus have been terrific throughout this postseason. Toss in timely contributions from role players Matt Barnes, J.J. Redick, Jason Williams, Marcin Gortat and Ryan Anderson, and it’s easy to see why Orlando rates such a strong threat to return to the NBA Finals this season.

This Magic run could end in an NBA championship.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing won a revote Wednesday to keep The Associated Press NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award, despite his positive drug test.

The second vote was taken after the league suspended Cushing without pay for four games last week for violating the NFL’s drug policy.

Although Cushing said he took a non-steroid substance, the league still considers it a performance-enhancer.

The AP decided to have a revote, with a Wednesday noon deadline.

That revote gave Cushing 18 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the league. Buffalo safety Jairus Byrd received 13 votes, and Green Bay linebacker Clay Matthews III got 12. Washington linebacker Brian Orakpo earned three votes.

Catamounts nip Panthers, 6-5 SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

AP FILE

Jamie McMurray celebrates in Victory Lane after winning the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway on Feb. 14, 2010. While McMurray has proven his toughness on restrictor-plate tracks in recent seasons, he wants to become a more consistent threat to win on all tracks.

McMurray seeks all-track consistency A

s one of the drivers who enjoyed a decent amount of success dealing with “The Lady in Black” last weekend, Jamie McMurray gave signs he can be more than a one-trick carburetor restrictor-plate racing pony.

Being good at the two tracks where plates with openings to limit fuel and gas flow as a way of reducing speeds isn’t what appeared to be in the future for McMurray when he came out of Missouri in 2002 and won at Charlotte Motor Speedway in just his second start as emergency replacement for injured Sterling Marlin in Chip Ganassi’s No. 40.

Since then, all three of his wins have been in the restrictor-plate events at Daytona and Talladega where drafting is a key to success.

So it was no surprise he won the Daytona 500 in February to start the season and came within 100 yards of prevailing last month at Talladega.

At most other places, McMurray has struggled. Outside of the four victories, he has just 29 top-five finishes in 265 starts. Only once has he posted more than five top-fives in a season, when he did it nine times in 2004.

Thinking some of his mediocrity was tied to driving for Ganassi, McMurray jumped to the Jack Roush camp in 2006. But, the mediocrity continued and he was the odd man out when Roush had to cut back to four teams this season.

He jumped at the chance to go back to Ganassi, with whom he had a more personal relationship than he did with Roush. Considering that Ganassi’s restrictor-plate effort has benefitted from a merger with Dale Earnhardt Inc., McMurray was considered a victory contender at Daytona and Talladega.

He wasn’t expected to be one last weekend at Darlington. But, he did

attract attention and showed the return to Ganassi might be paying other dividends by winning the pole with a trackrecord average of more than 180 miles an hour, leading 71 SPORTS laps and finishing second in his stronGreer gest non-restrictor Smith plate showing of the ■■■ year.

It was a showing that lifted McMurray to 16th in points, just 39 shy of climbing into 12th, the last place that will qualify for the Chase for the Championship in 15 more races.

“Our season has actually been good,” McMurray said. “We’ve put ourselves in position to win three races this year and I don’t know that I’ve been able to do that ever in a season, much less 10 or 12 races. I just haven’t done a good enough job on the other weekends when the car wasn’t as good.”

Only once in the four seasons with Roush did he post more than three top-five finishes in a season.

And when he did, he only managed four.

“When I left (Earnhardt Ganassi) in 2005 to go to a bigger team, you think everything is going to be better,” McMurray said. “It’s amazing coming back and seeing the results, how much a difference everything has been for me.”

McMurray said he has some trepidation over how well prepared the cars at Earnhardt Ganassi might be after being accustomed to working at a technology-driven company like Roush.

“They had what I thought was a fairly complex computer simulation program,” McMurray said. “It is very technical. We have something similar at Ganassi, but it’s

different the way we get out setups.

When you get used to something for four years and that’s what you’ve lived by, I was worried about that. But I’ve been impressed how good the cars are every week.”

Everything hasn’t been all roses.

McMurray has posted five finishes of 24th or worse. On one of those bad days, he wrecked teammate Juan Pablo Montoya while both were running in the top five at Las Vegas, severely damaging their relationship.

“It’s fine now,” McMurray said.

“There’s no hard feelings. When I won the pole (at Darlington), I was on the top of the hauler and Juan came over and congratulated me. It seemed sincere. ... Juan’s not a jealous guy. He knows the talent he has. He was frustrated at Vegas because we were racing so hard.

“Over the past five weeks, especially at Talladega, we’ve been working as team. As the races have gone on, there’s been more giveand-take between us.”

Now comes Dover, where McMurray will be challenged to duplicate the Darlington effort. In 14 previous starts on the “Monster Mile,” he has just one top-five finish, a second to Matt Kenseth after losing the lead with three laps to go.

“I feel that’s a good track for me,” McMurray said. “Maybe I haven’t had the results there, but it’s one the tracks on the schedule that I forward to.

“The thing about Dover is if your car is a bit off and you get a long green-flag run, you can lose a lot of time. Your car has to handle really well there.”

If it does, McMurray might get another opportunity to prove he is more than a one-trick pony. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Conrad, Braves pound Brewers for 9-2 victory THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jason Heyward hit a hard shot runs while subbing for injured Chipper Jones, and Atlanta roughed up off first baseman Prince Fielder’s MILWAUKEE – Brooks Conrad Milwaukee’s bullpen once again in glove for a go-ahead double in the homered, doubled and drove in four a 9-2 victory on Wednesday night. seventh inning.

HIGH POINT – Despite six shutout innings from the Panther bullpen to end the game, the High Point University baseball team dropped a 65 decision to Western Carolina on Wednesday night at Williard Stadium.

Freshman Steven Schils took the loss in his first career start, allowing all six of the Catamount runs.

“This is a disappointing loss because we put up six consecutive zeros to end the game,” said head coach Craig Cozart. “To put a positive spin on it, we saw good things out of the bullpen and that is what we will need to finish out the season. We couldn’t execute in easy offensive situations. We have seven regular-season games left; hopefully we can build off the pitching and fight to do better offensively.”

Schils gave up six runs, five earned, in 22⁄3 innings in his first start.

He recorded three strikeouts. Freshman Preston Hatcher pitched 51⁄3 innings for his first win, walking three Panthers without a strikeout.

The Catamounts put up four runs in the first inning on four hits and one HPU error. Trevor Collias had a one-out, two-run homer.

The Panthers an-

swered with two runs in the bottom of the first with Steve Antolik and Max Fulginiti picking up RBIs. WCU added one run each in the second and third innings.

Pablo Rosario reached on an error to lead off the fifth and scored on Mike Mercurio sacrifice fly to left field to make it a 6-3 Catamount lead.

A two-run sixth cut WCU’s lead to 6-5. Andrew Bartlett singled to score Murray White IV and Sal Pezzino came up with an pinch-hit RBI single that scored Zach Tessier.

Mikel Rodenberg pitched a scoreless ninth inning. In total, six HPU relievers kept Western Carolina scoreless in the final six innings of the game, allowing just six hits.

Brandon Johnson kept HPU from scoring in the final three innings for his first career save.

HPU stranded eight runners in the game.

White went 2-4 with a run scored on the night and Matt Gantner went 1-3 with two walks.

The Panthers fall to 24-25. It was HPU’s final home game of the season as the Panthers wrap up the regular season with seven road games. HPU will travel to Clinton, S.C.for a Big South weekend series with Presbyterian. Friday’s first pitch is set for 3 p.m.

Guilford golfers climb to third SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

HERSHEY, Pa. – Guilford College’s men’s golf team shot 297 Wednesday and climbed two spots into third place after the second of four rounds at the 37-team NCAA Division III Golf Championships.

The Quakers trail leader Methodist University (307290-597) by three strokes after the top-ranked Monarchs turned in the tournament’s low score playing the par-72 Hershey Links Course. Secondranked Huntingdon College (309-290-599) shot 290 Wednesday on the same course and sits one shot ahead of the Quakers with a 36-hole score of 599.

After playing through rainy and cold conditions for most of Tuesday’s first round, the 190 competitors found more temperate weather Wednesday with mostly cloudy skies and temperatures in the 50s. Guilford played the par-71 East Course of the Hershey Country Club Wednesday after playing Tuesday’s round on the Links Course. The Quakers’ 297 marked the low score among the 18 teams playing the East Course Wednesday and the lowest score on the course among all 37 teams.

Guilford is ranked fourth in the Apr. 28 Golf World/NIKE Division III Coaches’ Poll and third in the latest Golfstat.com Division III Head-to-Head Ratings. The Quakers are after their third national title in nine years after winning the 2005 and 2002 NCAA titles.

Senior Peter Latimer led the Quakers’ charge with a one-over-par 72 Wednesday. He birdied both par-three holes on the back nine and posted the day’s second-lowest score among 90 competitors on the East Course.

The two-time defending

2009 Old Dominion Athletic Conference Player of the Year climbed 22 rungs on the individual leader board into a share of 17th place with a two-day total of 77-72-149. Guilford senior Brian Creghan maintained his sixth-place individual standing with a two-over 73 Wednesday. He had three birdies mixed with five bogeys in his second straight round of 73. Sophomore Dusty Roberts continued his solid play with a two-over 73 that moved him up seven spots into a share of 11th place at 75-73-148. Freshman J.T. Thomas carded the Quakers’ fourth score Wednesday with a 79 that ranks 120th in the field at 82-79-161. Classmate Noah Ratner shot 80 and shares 89th place with a 36-hole 78-80-158.

Claremont-MuddScripps Colleges individual Tain Lee maintained his first-round lead by shooting three-under 69 Wednesday on the Links Course. He is five under for the tournament and holds a six-shot edge over the University of LaVerne’s Mitchell Fedorka (74-70-144) and Hope College’s Steven Strock (74-70-144). Centre College’s Chris Morris had Wednesday’s low score on the East Course with a one-under 70. At 145, he shares fourth place with Susquehanna University individual Mitch Mercer, who blistered the Links Course Wednesday with a sixunder 66, the tourney’s low round to date.

The top-23 teams and top-five individuals not on one of those teams after 36 holes advance to the final two rounds, which will be played today and Friday on the East Course. ODAC champion Bridgewater College was among the teams that did not make the cut.

LPGA carries on minus Ochoa, Blasberg MOBILE, Ala. (AP) – The Bell Micro LPGA Classic will have two big voids, for vastly different reasons.

The tour had already braced for the loss of newly retired star Lorena Ochoa, but now moves on without Erica Blasberg as well with the tournament starting today.

The 25-year-old Blasberg died Sunday in suburban Las Vegas and her agent said she had been all set to attempt to qualify for the field at Magnolia Grove on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. Blasberg had competed in only one LPGA event this year.

“She was more than a golfer,” said Michelle Wie, who played on the Curtis Cup team with Blasberg.

“She was a really great person. She was always really sweet.”

Police haven’t said how Blasberg died or if they suspect foul play.

The grieving competitors, meanwhile, will refocus on trying to fill the large hole left by Ochoa.

Charelle Barnes slides in the last post position for First Dude at Pimlico Race Course on Wednesday in Baltimore. The 135th Preakness Stakes will be held Saturday.

Super Saver rated 5-2 favorite for Preakness BALTIMORE (AP) – Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver was made the early 5-2 favorite Wednesday for the Preakness Stakes, and he’ll break from the starting gate next to beaten Derby favorite Lookin At Lucky.

Coach K, Geno prep for world championships NEW YORK (AP) – It’s going to be a busy summer for both Mike Krzyzewski and Geno Auriemma.

Fresh off winning college basketball national championships last month, the two Hall of Fame coaches will prepare for their next challenge – guiding the U.S. men’s and women’s basketball teams to gold at the world championships.

Krzyzewski will start training with the men’s national team in July in Las Vegas while Auriemma will have a few days to work with his players during the WNBA All-Star break.

Krzyzewski’s schedule hasn’t been as hectic since Duke won its fourth title and first since 2001. The national team won’t train until the summer, but he was eager to get back on the court.

“I always love coaching USA basketball as you learn so much from the players and assistants,” he said.

Saver would become the first Triple Crown winner since 1978.

Lookin At Lucky was the 3-1 second choice of Pimlico oddsmaker Frank Carulli. He’ll start next to Super Saver in the No. 7 post after starting the Derby on the rail and finishing sixth. He’ll be ridden by Martin Garcia in the Preakness, with Garrett Gomez switching to 10-1 Dublin.

Paddy O’Prado, the thirdplace Derby finisher, is the third choice at 9-2. He’ll break from the No. 10 post.

Trainer D. Wayne Lukas is taking two shots at winning his sixth Preakness, and his first since 1999. He saddles Dublin, who was seventh in the Derby and got the No. 12 post in the Preakness, and Northern Giant, who ran ninth in the Arkansas Derby. Northern Giant and Yawanna Twist are the two longest shots in the field at 30-1.

RALEIGH (AP) – Paul Simson took a brief break from chasing another championship to receive another honor.

Simson hustled onto the stage after shooting a 72 in the first round of the North Carolina Senior Amateur in Winston-Salem, and later joked that “the career continues.”

State receiver Mike Quick; former Marshall and Georgia coach Jim Donnan of Burlington; North Carolina field hockey coach Karen Shelton; former Tar Heels soccer star Carla Overbeck and longtime Guilford College administrator Herb Appenzeller.

Trade deficit rises with consumer demand WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. trade deficit rose to a 15-month high as rising oil prices pushed crude oil imports to the highest level since the fall of 2008, offsetting another strong gain in exports. The larger deficit is evidence of a rebounding U.S. economy.

The Commerce Department said Wednesday that the trade deficit rose 2.5 percent to $40.4 billion in March. It was close to the $40.1 billion deficit economists had expected and the biggest monthly trade deficit since December 2008.

Exports of goods and services rose 3.2 percent to $147.87 billion, the highest level since October 2008. Imports were up 3.1 percent to $188.3 billion.

Comcast to carry ESPN 3-D channel PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Comcast, the nation’s largest cable TV provider, will start carrying the ESPN 3-D cable channel in June.

That makes Comcast Corp. the first cable company to sign on.

In March, satellite TV company DirecTV Inc. said it would carry the channel.

Oil prices fall as supplies increase NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices fell Wednesday after the government reported that crude stocks increased again last week.

Benchmark crude fell 81 cents to $75.56 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

The June contract dropped 43 cents to settle at $76.37 on Tuesday.

Localization boosts Macy’s profit NEW YORK (AP) — Macy’s intense focus on tailoring its merchandise to local markets helped push the department store chain to profitability in the first quarter.

More customers who had defected to rivals returning to its stores, the chain said, helping to drive better-than-expected sales.

However, the department store operator, which boosted its annual outlook last month, said it’s too early to further raise its guidance for the year because of economic uncertainty.

Shares rose 1 cent to $23.91 in morning trading.

DILBERT

The higher deficit shows demand is picking up in the United States following the recession, which had cut the trade gap last year to the lowest level in eight years.

Economists believe U.S. manufacturers will continue to get a boost from rising demand for their products, reflecting the rebound in the global economy and a weaker dollar against many major currencies. However, that forecast could turn out to be too optimistic if a widening European debt crisis cuts into demand for American products in Europe, a major market for U.S. goods.

“The outlook for exports has been dampened by the fiscal crisis in Europe, which has reduced

the prospects for overseas activity,” said Paul Dales, senior economist at Capital Economics.

Greece, the center of the debt crisis, accounts for only 0.2 percent of U.S. exports. But the 16 European nations that use the euro currency account for 15 percent of U.S. exports, and Greece is one of them.

So far this year, the U.S. deficit is running at an annual rate of $467.2 billion, 23.4 percent higher than last year’s imbalance of $378.6 billion.

For March, the rise in exports reflected increased sales of American farm products and a wide range of heavy machinery from electric generators to earth-moving equipment.

Possible probe affects Morgan shares

NEW YORK (AP) — Morgan Stanley shares dropped Wednesday following a report that the investment bank is facing an investigation into mortgage derivative deals.

Federal prosecutors are investigating whether Morgan Stanley misled investors about its role in a pair of $200 million derivatives whose performance was tied to mortgage-backed securities, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.

The newspaper said Morgan Stanley sometimes bet against the success of the derivatives, which were underwritten and marketed to investors by Citigroup Inc. and UBS AG. Shares of Morgan Stanley fell $1.13, or 4 percent, to $27.25 in morning trading.

A spokesman from Morgan Stanley said the bank

has not been contacted by the Justice Department about the deals in question and has no knowledge of an ongoing investigation.

The spokesman said the bank has not received a Wells Notice from the Securities and Exchange Commission. A Wells Notice informs a company that the SEC’s staff is recommending bringing charges against the company.

Speaking in Tokyo on Wednesday, Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman said, “We have no reason to believe there is any substance behind any supposed investigation.”

The reported investigation comes as the Securities and Exchange Commission is charging Morgan Stanley competitor Goldman Sachs Group Inc. with fraud over that bank’s packaging of mortgage securities.

Fed to retain small bank oversight WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate has overwhelmingly voted to let the Federal Reserve retain its supervision of smaller banks. The measure changes a financial regulation bill that would have given the central bank oversight only over large financial institutions.

The Senate voted 90-9 not to narrow the Fed’s supervisory role. Regional Fed presidents lobbied senators to let them continue

watching over smaller bank holding companies and state-chartered community banks.

The underlying bill by Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd, D-Conn., would have limited the Fed’s oversight to bank holding companies with assets exceeding $50 billion. It also would have let the Fed oversee financial institutions so large that their failure could jeopardize the economy.

Stocks recover from slide NEW YORK (AP) — A dose of good economic news sent stocks sharply higher Wednesday and erased the Dow Jones industrials’ big plunge of last week.

The Dow rose 148 points to return to where it stood before Thursday’s tumble that briefly took the average down nearly 1,000 points. The technologydominated Nasdaq composite index led major indexes with a 2.1 percent gain.

Investors moved into tech stocks ahead of earnings from network gear maker Cisco Systems Inc. and following an upbeat forecast from IBM Corp.

Analysts say the market’s rebound from last week’s drop reflects investors’ growing confidence that Europe’s debt problems are contained for now. Fears that losses on debt would spill over to the U.S. fed the market’s plunge.

Economic reports from the U.S. and Europe helped reassure the market that the global recovery is intact. The Commerce Department said exports rose in March to their highest levels since 2008. That was a welcome signal for the manufacturing industry, which has been getting stronger since last year. Increased demand could eventually lead to more hiring.

The Dow rose 148.65, or 1.4 percent, to 10,896.91. The Dow stands at its highest level since May 4. The Dow is up 5 percent in three days, its best gain since July.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 15.88, or 1.4 percent, to 1,171.67, while the Nasdaq rose 49.71, or 2.1 percent, to 2,425.02.

EU wants tighter rules to stem crisis

BRUSSELS (AP) – European Union officials urged a crackdown on widespread government overspending, calling Wednesday for closer economic coordination between EU nations to curb the acute debt crisis that has threatened to sink their shared currency.

The plan by the EU’s executive commission advocated unprecedented scrutiny of countries’ spending plans even before they go to their national parliaments – and new financial penalties for rulebreakers.

That would deepen the ties that bind 16 nations in Europe’s currency union and would curtail some nations’ power over

their own economies in an attempt to keep more reckless spenders like recently bailed-out Greece from dumping their debts on all eurozone members.

The EU is effectively extending its powers to monitor budgets by seeking oversight for the entire economy, saying this is crucial to prevent the debt mountains that have caused the euro to slide in value against the dollar and forced Greece to seek financial help from EU nations.

EU Economy Commissioner Olli Rehn said the EU’s moves would ensure that national governments’ spending plans were “consistent with European objectives.”

They will also “lead to a substantial deepening and prudent widening of the economic and monetary union,” he said.

German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle, who heads the smaller party in Germany’s coalition government, rejected the idea, saying the EU should not interfere with the “core of national sovereignty,” the DAPD news agency reported.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel was less concerned, saying budget programs “were not secret” and it would not be a problem for parliaments to know the European Commission’s views on national budgets at an earlier stage.

Greek unions call new strike ATHENS, Greece (AP) – Greek labor unions announced a new general strike to protest pension reforms next week, as government officials waited Wednesday for the first installment of a €110 billion ($140 billion) rescue package designed to stave off bankruptcy.

Greece’s two main public and private sector unions set a walkout for May 20 – a day after Greece must repay some €9 billion ($11.4 billion) in expiring debt, using loans from its eurozone partners and the International Monetary Fund.

The Mediterranean country’s acute debt problems, resulting from years of overspending and falsified accounts, battered global markets and weakened the euro.

In response, the European Union and the IMF threw together a €750 billion ($952.35 billion) standby package early Monday to prevent the debt crisis from spreading and protect the common euro currency. That package came in addition to the billions already pledged to Greece.

Cate Blanchett arrives for the “Robin Hood” premiere at the film festival, in Cannes, southern France, Wednesday.

Celebrities strut stuff at Cannes opening CANNES, France (AP) – This year’s lineup at the Cannes Film Festival is leaner and less star-studded than usual, but you wouldn’t know that from Wednesday’s high-glamour opening ceremony.

Celebrities from Eva Longoria to Salma Hayek strutted their stuff on the red carpet for the premiere of Ridley Scott’s “Robin Hood,” which opened the French Riviera’s 12-day film extravaganza.

The film’s stars, Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett, electrified the throngs of spectators who lined the red carpet hoping for a celebrity glimpse.

Still, the festival’s 63rd edition has fewer household names among the actors and directors to be featured here. The pareddown roster of 19 movies in competition is dominated by emerging filmmakers from Asia, Eastern Europe and elsewhere.
