HIGH POINT – Ann Heath wandered up her neighborhood on Sink Lake Road in the hot sun on Saturday to find the High Point Salvation Army’s canteen van. Heath, a resident of the mobile home park that was struck by a tornado on March 28, saw smiling faces that day as the nonprofit cooked hot dogs and hamburgers in the van and served the food to the neighborhood as part of national Salvation Army week. “If it wasn’t for people like these, I don’t know

In the words of Trinity High School senior Jacob Grochowski, graduating from high school is “a huge accomplishment...especially nowadays.” Imagine keeping up with school work and maintaining a GPA higher than 3.0 while dealing with a debilitating disease. Or finishing high school while coping with the death of a 4-month-old child. These are a few of the stories that will be told in this four-part series profiling local high school seniors who have had to overcome adversity before making that longawaited march to the stage to get their diplomas. The series will highlight four students, each from a different school system in the immediate area, who fought hard to overcome obstacles and complete their high school education as local high schools prepare for upcoming commencement ceremonies.

T. Wingate Andrews High School senior Anna Paengrord has had two children, one of whom died of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), yet she will graduate in June.

One-time ‘troublemaker’ earns 3.2 GPA, heads to college BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Anna Paengrord says words can’t express how much it will mean to graduate from T. Wingate Andrews High School next month. “It will mean a lot,” said Paengrord, who has overcome quite a bit of adversity to receive her high school diploma. Graduation should mean a lot for Paengrord, a single mother who lost her 4-month-old child to sudden infant death syndrome just days before the start of her senior year in August. It’s been hard for Paengrord this year after losing her newborn, but knowing she has her 2-year-old daughter, Kalivia, to raise has helped her keep going. “I never thought about going to college until I had them,” Paengrord said. “I don’t know why I thought about it, but I guess it was that situation.” As a student who had been in trouble often, raising Kalivia and losing her son also has caused Paengrord to stay away from the wrong crowd. The single mother said, after she had Kalivia her sophomore year, she came

to school and got in trouble for fighting. “That’s why every time I come to school, I walk by myself unless it’s the people I really talk to,” she said. “I’ve already dropped a lot of friends. It seems to me that when you have kids, BEATING you really don’t worry about friends.” THE ODDS Despite losing the child, Paengrord has managed to have a 3.2. GPA. She’s Graduates planning on taking online college overcoming courses so she won’t need day care for adversity Kalivia. ■■■ Roslyn Bennet, a High Point Andrews guidance counselor, said Paengrord’s story is about “perseverance.” “She sees that she has to take care of her child, so coming to school is something she has to do,” Bennett said. “She has. She has done 100 percent better this year. She hasn’t been in any trouble this year. It speaks volumes of her perseverance and dedication to completing school.”

Duke plans more undergraduate financial aid MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

AP

School children tour the plantation house at the Hampton Plantation State Historic Site near McClellanville, S.C. A recent archaeological dig at the plantation was financed by federal stimulus money.

DURHAM – Duke University plans to greatly increase undergraduate financial aid for the next year while drawing on its reserves to help balance the school’s operating budget. The university’s board of trustees on Friday adopted a $1.93 billion budget that raises institutional undergraduate financial aid by 11.8 percent, to $108.5 million. That’s nearly three times the previously announced tuition increase for next year of 3.9 percent. The new budget also calls for a 5.9 percent increase in financial aid for graduate and professional students. The operating budget, which covers the fiscal year

Federal cash helps pay for dig at SC plantation and the remains of fence posts and a root cellar. It also seems to verify locations in an 1809 land plat showing nine structures in the area. The work was financed by a modest $136,000 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service grant for forest restoration at five state parks. That money is only a sliver of the $4.2 billion stimulus coming to the state and the $787 billion being spent nationwide. The federal Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board Web site indicates about three dozen archaeological field projects nationwide are receiving about $6.3 million in stimulus money. Those projects range from archaeological surveys of the fire lines in the nearby Francis Marion National

McCLELLANVILLE, S.C. (AP) – Federal stimulus money helped unearth some of South Carolina’s past during an archaeological dig in a shady glen on a former coastal plantation. The dig at Hampton Plantation State Historic Site on the Santee River Delta offers glimpses into property once owned by the state’s most prominent families. It’s a place where state parks officials had long wanted to dig, but until the stimulus, had no money for it. “We had known there were structures out here somewhere, but we didn’t have the resources,” said David Jones, the archaeologist for the state parks service. The work this spring uncovered what may be a chimney foundation

In South Carolina, the money was spent at Hampton Plantation – between Georgetown and McClellanville – which is best known to visitors for its white plantation house dating to the mid 1700s. The plantation was once visited by George Washington and before the Civil War had 340 slaves. Over the years, its owners included such famous South Carolina names as the Horry, Pinckney and Rutledge families. In 1971, it was sold by Archibald Rutledge, the late South Carolina poet laureate, to the state for use as a state park.

Fire guts Winston-Salem body shop MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

WINSTON-SALEM – Investigators are trying to determine the cause of a fire Friday that gutted a long-standing body shop on Reynolda Road. The fire at Pegram Motors and Body Shop in the 6700 block of Reynolda Road started about 9 a.m. Heavy smoke was coming from the top of the one-story brick building when firefighters arrived, said Chief Alan Fariss of the Old Richmond Fire & Rescue Department.

Pegram family members at the scene declined to comment. Fern Hunter, who lives across the street from the building, said she went to her door after hearing what sounded like an explosion. “I came out and I saw smoke coming over the trees,” she said. “It looked like the fire was going through the woods.” Her husband, Moir, said that the couple built the house in 1961 and he first went to Pegram Motors in 1962, when he needed some work done on his Pontiac.

erty. There were also some cars parked behind the building, but Fariss said he did not know if any of them were damaged. Greg White manages the property for the owner of the building, Lois Kinney, and works at 67 Motors, which is next to Pegram. He said that a customer came in and told them that there was thick smoke coming from behind the building. White said that the building will need a new roof, but he hopes that its shell can be saved.

falling on my house,” she said. She escaped the incident with no injuries to herself, but there was damage to her home. A new roof was finally installed about two weeks ago, but repairs still need to be made to the underpinning of the mobile home. “I appreciate the help I’ve seen so much,” she said. Farther down the road, just across from her home, kids in the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club of High Point planted flowers in a large pot on a barren patch of ground. The flowers were brought to brighten up the neighborhood and the spirit of those who live here, according to the small hands that planted them.

“We planted flowers and seeds. It makes the people here feel respected,” said Blake Owens, a member of the Boys and Girls Club. “I like being outside and helping people.” The pink and purple blooms they left behind represent the purpose of serving the neighborhood, said Anjani Webb, development and marketing coordinator for the Salvation Army. “Letting the kids plant the flowers leaves something behind that will keep on growing,” Webb said. “We haven’t been back here since right after the tornado hit. We wanted to come back today to let the neighborhood know we’re still here for them.”

“They’re good people,” Moir Hunter said. “They do good work.” There were no injuries. At least five fire departments – Forsyth County, Old Richmond, Rural Hall, Lewisville and Vienna – helped fight the fire.

It’s part of a three-year strategy that the board adopted in February 2009 to enable the university to recover from the financial crisis. The university announced then that because of the economic crunch – which included a big hit to Duke’s endowment and reduced gifts to the school – it needed to trim its budget by $125 million over the next three years. But as the economy has improved, so have Duke’s fortunes, with the university benefitting from greater than anticipated investment returns in its endowment over the past year.

Judge to OK Wake County school plan RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina’s largest school district is set to give final approval next week to a plan to end its busing for diversity program after a judge dismissed a lawsuit seeking to block the move. Judge Bill Pittman said in his ruling Friday that the Wake County school board was taking reasonable measures to accommodate the large crowds that have been at its meetings concerning the change in attendance policy. Opponents of sending children to school based primarily on where they live had challenged the board’s move, saying public participation at meetings was limited by the size of the meeting space. “The board has taken actions that clearly have the intention and effect of curtailing public attendance,� said Swain Wood, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs in the case.

Police say teen killed in crash was texting ASHEVILLE (AP) – Police say a North Carolina teenager killed in a car crash was texting in the moments before her car veered into oncoming traffic. Asheville police spokeswoman Melissa Williams told the Asheville CitizenTimes on Friday that investigators learned of the message by checking the driver’s cell phone. Ashley Johnson, 16, of Arden, died Tuesday at a local hospital one day after the wreck. She was a 10th-grader at Buncombe County Early College. Investigators also said Johnson’s car was going 52 miles an hour in a 45 mph zone.

To ease the growing crowds at meetings, the school system began requiring people to have tickets to get seats in the board room starting with the March 23 meeting. School officials said that move was a fire safety precaution. To compensate, school officials expanded time for public comment and meetings were shown live on video screens in overflow rooms. “The statute is not designed to vest rights in every individual to be in the room to watch the proceedings,� said attorney Kieran Shanahan, who represented the school board in the lawsuit. Wood said it is unlikely that his clients would appeal Friday’s ruling. “It was a frivolous lawsuit and truly not about the Open Meetings

Law,� school board chairman Ron Margiotta said. “We are bending over backwards to accommodate the public.� Margiotta said there are no plans to move Tuesday’s meeting, where the board is expected to give final approval to removing all references to socio-economic diversity in favor of making students’ living close to school a priority. Other groups, including the North Carolina branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, have threatened to sue to stop the policy change. NAACP leaders have said they think the switch to neighborhood attendance will lead to resegregation of Raleigh-area schools based on race. The state NAACP is planning a rally Monday night at Martin Street Baptist Church in Raleigh.

Officials: US missiles kill 5 in Pakistan PESHAWAR, Pakistan – A suspected U.S. missile strike killed at least five people in the Khyber tribal region of northwest Pakistan on Saturday, in what would be one of the first such attacks in the area, intelligence and government officials said. U.S. missiles have regularly pounded al-Qaida and Taliban targets along the Afghan border for two years now. The attacks have killed scores of people, most of them identified as militants by Pakistani officials. But they have caused anger in Pakistan, where many people see them as an unacceptable violation of the country’s sovereignty.

Bittersweet return for Dutch boy crash survivor AMSTERDAM – The 9-year-old Dutch boy who miraculously survived a plane crash in Libya returned to the Netherlands aboard an airborne ambulance Saturday and was whisked away to a hospital in his hometown, where he must begin to rebuild his life without his parents or brother. Ruben van Assouw was the sole survivor, pulled unconscious from the wreckage of an Afriqiyah Airways jetliner that plunged into the desert less than a mile from the runway in Tripoli four days ago, killing 103 people.

North Korea denies role in spread of WMD SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea is denying an Israeli allegation that Pyongyang is spreading weapons of mass destruction and vowing not to tolerate Israel’s alleged slander. The North’s Foreign Ministry said Saturday the North “has nothing to do with any spread of WMDs.� It also said it would never pardon Israel for “daring slander the dignified (North) by faking up sheer lies.� The comment responded to Israel’s Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman’s comment this past week.

British leader meets Afghan president LONDON (AP) – British Prime Minister David Cameron met Saturday with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, his first face-fo-face conversation with a foreign leader since he assumed office earlier this week. The discussion focused on Karzai’s recent visit to Washington, where he met with President

Barack Obama and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, a Downing Street spokesman said on condition of anonymity in line with government policy. Cameron and Karzai met at Chequers, the country residence of British prime ministers. Cameron and Karzai also discussed the Afghan leader’s peace

conference, or jirga, planned for the end of May, the spokesman said, without providing further detail. The conference is intended to secure consensus on how to reconcile with the Taliban. The spokesman said the leaders also agreed the relationship between their two countries should be “strengthened.�

Iranian cleric wants creation of ’Greater Iran’ TEHRAN, Iran – A radical cleric called Saturday for the creation of a “Greater Iran� that would rule over the entire Middle East and Central Asia, in an event that he said would herald the coming of Islam’s expected messiah. Ayatollah Mohammad Bagher Kharrazi said the creation of what he calls an Islamic United States is a central aim of the political party he leads called Hezbollah, or Party of God, and that he hoped to make it a reality if they win the next presidential election.

Candidates threatened in local Mexico elections MEXICO CITY (AP) – One candidate was gunned down with his son inside his business. Another is missing after assailants torched her home. In some towns near the U.S. border, parties can’t find anyone to run for mayor. The violence is intensifying fear that Mexico’s drug cartels could control July 4 local elections in 10 states by supporting candidates who cooperate with organized crime and killing or intimidating those who don’t. Nowhere has the in-

timidation been worse than in the border state of Tamaulipas, where Mexican soldiers are trying to control an intensifying turf battle between the Gulf cartel and its former ally, the Zetas gang. Gunmen burst into the farm supplies business of Jose Guajardo Varela Thursday and killed him and his son, after he ignored warnings to drop his bid for mayor of Valle Hermosa, a town about 30 miles (50 kilometers) south of Brownsville, Texas.

Thai prime minister defends crackdown BANGKOK (AP) – Thailand’s leader defended the deadly army crackdown on protesters besieging the capital’s heart, saying Saturday the country’s very future was at stake. Protesters dragged away the bodies of three people from sidewalks – shot by army snipers, they claim – as soldiers blocked major roads and pinned up notices

of a “Live Firing Zone.� “I insist that what we are doing is necessary,� Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said in a defiant broadcast on national television, making it clear he would not compromise. “The government must move forward. We cannot retreat because we are doing things that will benefit the entire country.�

16-year-old Jessica Watson works with the rigging as she sails past the finish line in Sydney Harbour in Sydney, Australia, Saturday, capping off a nearly 23,000 nautical mile voyage that many thought she wouldn’t survive.

Teen girl finishes round-the-world sail SYDNEY (AP) – A 16-year-old Australian who braved boat knockdowns and seven months of solitude on a sail around the world set foot on dry land outside the Sydney Opera House on Saturday and quickly set an earthier goal – getting her driver’s license. Jessica Watson became the youngest person to sail around the globe solo, nonstop and unassisted

when she cruised into Sydney Harbour in her pink, 34-foot yacht to a rock-star welcome. She successfully maneuvered her boat through raging storms, 40-foot waves and seven knockdowns during the 23,000 nautical mile journey that critics thought she wouldn’t survive. “Amazingly, I just enjoyed it much, much more than I ever

thought I would and handled the challenges better than I thought,� Watson said. “You don’t actually have a choice – you’re in the middle of a storm, you’re being knocked down – you can’t fall apart.� After standing on land for the first time in 210 days, the teen said she’s eager to learn how to drive a car, to eat fresh fruit and salad after months of packaged meals.

President Barack Obama greets police officers during a memorial ceremony on the west lawn of the U.S. Capitol in Washington Saturday, as he paid tribute to law enforcement officers who were killed in the line of duty last year. With Obama is Chuck Canterbury (right), President Grand Lodge Fraternal Order of Police.

Obama honors law officers killed in line of duty WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama paid tribute Saturday on behalf of a grateful nation to law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice while safeguarding their communities. Americans “rely on a certain order in our lives, a certain sense of security that lets us sleep safely in our beds and walk around our neighborhoods free from fear and go about our daily lives without

being the victims of crime. That sense of security doesn’t come on its own,� he said in brief remarks on the west front lawn of the Capitol during Peace Officers Memorial Day, which honors officers killed in the line of duty. “What makes it possible, what makes freedom possible, are the law enforcement officials that we honor today,� he said. The event is part of National Po-

by a major interest group for Kagan, who is solicitor general, the governKagan ment’s top lawyer at the Supreme Court. The NAACP’s president, Benjamin Jealous, said the group initially was concerned because Kagan had little direct evidence or a record that she would actively promote civil rights.

lice Week, an annual tribute to law enforcement service and sacrifice. The president said he was proud of law enforcement officials who chose their careers out of a sense of calling to serve their neighbors, neighborhoods and “to live a life in service of others.� “It’s a calling that carriers immense risk,� he added, citing the uncertainty of what that next duty call might bring.

Astronauts forced into shorter shuttle survey CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) – A snagged cable forced Atlantis’ astronauts to resort to a more inconvenient and less comprehensive method of inspecting their space shuttle Saturday as they sped toward a weekend rendezvous with the International Space Station. Mission Control, meanwhile, decided there was no need to move the space station away from a

piece of space junk. Experts had monitored the orbiting debris for a couple of days, projecting it to pass within six miles of the shuttle and space station shortly after today’s docking. In the end, flight controllers concluded the unidentified object would remain at a safe distance and pose no threat. This morning’s scheduled linkup remained on track, despite the

space junk issue and the condensed safety survey of Atlantis. The inspection is a standard – and essential – procedure the day after liftoff. A 100-foot boom is used to survey the heat shield on both wings and the nose in a hunt for launch damage. On Saturday morning, however, the astronauts could not tilt the bundle of laser sensors and TV camera on the end of the pole.

A brown pelican is cleaned at the Fort Jackson Wildlife Rehabilitation Center at Buras, La., Saturday. The bird was rescued after being exposed in the Gulf oil spill.

ROBERT, La. (AP) – BP was confident Saturday its latest attempt to capture much of the oil flowing into the Gulf of Mexico will succeed even as the company disclosed yet another setback in their experiments to curb one of the nation’s worst environmental disasters. BP believes it can hook up its mile-long tube to suck oil from a blown-out well, despite an earlier snag with connecting two pieces of equipment. If successful, it would be the first time the company has captured any of the

oil since a rig sank April 22 and millions of gallons of crude started spewing into the ocean. The company also began spraying dispersants beneath the sea Saturday and said the chemicals appear to have reduced the amount of surface oil. The spraying is a contentious development because it has never been done underwater. Technicians have been working since early Friday to insert the tube into an oil pipe a mile beneath the surface using robotic submarines.

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Though she still has a passion for her job as principal at East Davidson High, Cathi Smith has decided to retire after 34 years with Davidson County Schools. “I still love what I do,” she said. “I love my school and my community. It’s time for a change. Everybody kept telling me you’d know, and I think you do. It’s time for a change in my life.

TRIAD – A Cary-based organization will use a $25,000 grant to help prevent teen and unplanned pregnancy. Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc. is partnering with The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy in an effort to reach out to the African-American community. Sigma Gamma Rho, a non-governmental organization associated with the United Nations Department of Public Information, received the grant from the National Campaign to reach teens and single young adults. Through surveys and forums, the objective of the initial collaboration between the two organizations is to develop a deeper understanding of the attitudes and beliefs regarding teen and unplanned pregnancy in the black community. The partnership helps support the sorority’s signature program, Project Reassurance. Developed first as a pilot program in 1974 to support and nurture expectant teen moth-

ers, Project Reassurance now offers more comprehensive, year-round strategies to build self-esteem and to combat obesity and other health issues. Results from the first phase of the collaboration will help develop a plan to directly reach target groups with messages about the importance of preventing teen and unplanned pregnancy. The grant runs through May 1, 2011. Founded in 1922, Sigma Gamma Rho has a history of educational and civic initiatives including work through its foundations: The National Education Fund, Sigma Public Education and Research and the Seven Pearls Foundation. Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc. was founded in 1922 on the campus of Butler University in Indianapolis, Ind., by seven school teachers. The sorority’s aim is to enhance the quality of life in the community through public service, leadership development and education of youth. The headquarters is at 1000 Southill Drive, Suite 200, in Cary. For more information, log onto: www. sgrho1922.org.

Study: Growth creates commuter rail demand RALEIGH (AP) – A study funded by the North Carolina Railroad Company predicts commuters who become frustrated with congested traffic in the growing Triangle region will take to rush-hour commuter trains. The report conducted by London-based firm Steer Davies Gleave and released last week focuses on the demand for possible commuter lines between Goldsboro and Greensboro taking advantage of existing land and rail lines already in use by the railroad company’s 317-mile rail corridor. The study predicts that a potential NCRR commuter line system would rank 16th in the country in commuter rail ridership. The rail segment with the most potential would be from Durham through Raleigh to the Wilson’s Mills area south of the state capital. Project manager Masroor Hasan says a commuter train traveling that 50-mile stretch would serve about 2 million riders annually by the year 2022. By comparison, a segment in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro area was deemed unnecessary because many commuters there already take advantage of inexpensive public transit options.

Program helps residents escape illiteracy T

his is an important column to “read.” “Read” is the operative word. Have you ever thought what it would be like not to be able to read ... the newspaper, a book, your mail, job applications, credit card applications or help with your children’s homework? The list goes on and on. I had the opportunity to ABOUT learn about TOWN the plight Mary of many in Bogest our community after responding to an invitation which read, “Reading Connections invites you to help us start a new chapter at the High Point Public Library. Please join us for a breakfast fundraiser.” I RSVP’d but, to be honest, I had no idea what it was about. I quickly learned that it was about reading! I just can’t imagine not being able to read. It is an essential and a pleasurable part of my life. It shocked me to find out that 54 percent of High Pointers do not even have a high school level of reading. You did not misread that statistic. Compiled by the U.S. Census 2008 American Community Survey. it was found that 25 percent of High Pointers have little or no ability to read basic instructions and maps and consequently have little or no written communication or computation skills. Another 29 percent can read only the simplest of instruction and can complete only basic entry level tasks or communication. I won’t even attempt to answer the questions of “why” or “how did this happen.” ■■■

Steven Hairston (center) reads a sailing handbook while Jennifer Gore, (left) executive director of Reading Connections, and Patrick Harman of Hayden-Harman Foundation look on. Hairston spent years hiding his illiteracy. I did learn the answer to the question, “What can we do about it?” That answer is Reading Connections. Reading Connections helps adults improve their reading skills by tutoring one-on-one or small group milieu. It is based in Greensboro but has been in High Point since 2005 and previously was located in the Employment Security Commission building. The library will provide the perfect setting for the program providing access to library’s computer lab and, of course ... books! Kem Ellis, library

director, told me that this wise partnership was developed and culminated as the Library renovations neared completion so there had been no planned space (nor budget) for the Reading Connections. That is not an obstacle that can’t be overcome. There is an open space on the second floor that will be transformed into office space and a meeting room for Reading Connections. Herein lies the challenge. The price tag on construction costs will be about $44,000. The Library Foundation has matched $10,000 given by

the community and the Hayden-Harman Foundation has donated another $10,000. You do the math. As a side note ... Patrick Harman told me that the Foundation based in Burlington has just opened an office on historic Washington Street. Wonderful! Welcome to High Point! Now, I’ll take you to the fundraiser breakfast held at High Point Country Club. When I arrived, I saw a lot of unfamiliar faces with some familiar ones. Certainly one of the most familiar ones was that of Carol Andrews, who you may know as the former anchor at FOX 8 news, the current member of the WFMY weekend news team, the author of two children’s books, board member of Reading Connections or the mother of Nicholas. This was the first time that I met Andrews. She told me that, as a High Pointer, she is very ex-

cited to becoming more involved in the High Point Community. We are, too. After Andrews gave the welcome, Executive Director Jennifer Gore told of the impact that Reading Connections has already made in High Point. Over 600 adults in High Point have taken advantage of Reading Connections. With literacy comes the ability to get their GED and opportunities for jobs. It was High Pointer Steven Hairston who touched the hearts of everyone. Like many others who can’t read, Hairston was clever in hiding it. He had relatives help him fill out job applications and worked for three decades in factory jobs. Many like Hairston have hidden their illiteracy, but those jobs are going away and it is getting harder and harder to hide the inability to read. Hairston emotionally

entranced everyone as he spoke of reading a bedtime story to his little girl. He would pretend to read and just ad-lib as he turned page after page but as his little girl started school and learned to read she would say things like, “That isn’t what it says, Daddy.” Hairston was embarrassed. He connected with Reading Connections. His life has changed. “I’m living now,” he said. “The grass is greener. The sun is brighter. If you don’t open up that door you will never get to see that.” Reading Connections helped him open that door. He now is featured in the Reading Connection brochure. “Before I just existed. Now I am living and I’m enjoying life because I am reading!” added Hairston. That says it all! MARY BOGEST is an artist and writer who resides in High Point | MSBogest@aol.com

Winston-Salem residents accuse campaigns of electioneering MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Three Winston-Salem residents, including two candidates, have filed protests over what they say was illegal electioneering during early voting before the May 4 primary. The three – Beaufort Bailey, a Forsyth County commissioner; Vic Johnson, a member of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County school board; and Johnson’s wife, Constance – say that some candidates and their supporters not only helped people cast ballots but used various methods to tell the people whom to vote for.

The three also say that local elections officials didn’t properly monitor those helping voters or enforce laws about providing help. Bailey said he and the others aren’t asking for new elections, but they say they believe that the results were altered by what took place during early voting. The Forsyth County Board of Elections will discuss the protests in a meeting at 1 p.m. Tuesday at the Forsyth County Government Center. According to local and state election officials, candidates and their supporters are allowed to assist voters who ask for help, but they

can’t try to influence how the voter casts a ballot. The allegations center on two candidates and the supporters of two other candidates. The candidates named in the protests as wrongly helping voters were Everette Witherspoon, who defeated Bailey for a seat on Forsyth County Board of Commissioners, and Jimmie Lee Bonham, who is running for school board in the same district as Johnson. Also mentioned in the protests were unnamed supporters of state Rep. Earline Parmon, D-72nd, and Susan Speaks Frye, a Democratic candidate for clerk of Superior Court.

Tracks reopen after train mishap MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

MEBANE – The sound of an Amtrak train whistle could be heard in downtown Mebane on Friday morning – a clear sign that service resumed after a train collided with a tractor-trailer early Thursday at the railroad crossing at Fifth and Center streets. The sound of the train whistle mixed with all the noise created by crews operating heavy equipment to remove debris and soil contaminated by the diesel fuel that leaked from the train. While the tracks were reopened to trains late Thursday, parts of the areas around the tracks remain cordoned off by yellow caution tape. Authorities estimate that more than 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel was

removed from the site Thursday, but hazardous material workers were expected to remain on scene all day Friday to continue with that cleanup. In addition, Norfolk Southern Railway crews worked to repair the crossing arms and warning lights damaged during the collision. While all other streets closed Thursday due to the incident have reopened, Fifth Street will remain closed until those repairs are done, said Mebane Police Capt. R.L. Putnam. “We anticipate that Fifth Street crossing to reopen mid next week,� said Robin Chapman, Norfolk Southern Railway spokesman. On Monday, crews will return to install gate mechanisms, but it will take a few more days to ensure all the safety features are in place, he said.

Rare sea turtle washes up dead on NC beach NORTH TOPSAIL BEACH (AP) – A wildlife expert says a rare sea turtle that was found tied up and dead on a North Carolina beach may have been intentionally dragged behind a boat. The Kemp’s ridley sea turtle washed ashore Friday. Sea turtle rescue center executive director Jean Beasley said the animal’s flippers were tied together with twine or rope, and a piece of twine trailed away from the flippers as if the turtle had been dragged.

Benedict celebrated Mass in the northern city

‘Fix’ parking at Jamestown Park entrance There are two entrances to Jamestown Park off E. Fork Road. One has parking by the golf course. The problems are: Crossing the street there on foot is precarious; when leaving by car you can’t see the vehicles (from the left) until they’re practically on top of you. Mainly, this portion of the park has a lot of bends and is hilly. If you’re a female walking alone, it’s not as ‘user friendly’ as the opposite side of the park by the golf course and the lake with boaters. Walking space is also wider on the lake side. Also, if you park at the golf course and attempt to walk on the side of the road to get to the lake portion of the park, it’s very difficult to traverse because it’s quite uneven. If you’re disabled, it’s impossible. At the park entrance by the lake

Randleman water to flow soon

A QUICK THOUGHT

Michael B. Starn Publisher

OUR VIEW

n article the other day that the first drinking water could begin flowing this summer to taps across the Triad from the Randleman Regional Reservoir brought good news indeed. It has been more than seven decades since planning for the reservoir began and many senior citizens in Randolph and Guilford counties have wondered if water would be pumped from it during their lifetime. The last steps before water begins to flow are completion of the treatment plant along Adams Farm Road near the public access entrance for the lake off U.S. 220 near Randleman, testing the plant, pumps and sections of pipelines and obtaining approval of the delivery system from state officials. That means water could be flowing to five Piedmont municipalities by late summer. The timing is important because, following a fairly “wet” year, drought conditions gradually are ramping up in much of North Carolina. The N.C. Drought Management Advisory Council’s update Thursday reflects drought (abnormally dry) conditions as of May 11 and, until further notice, “strongly urges implementation of drought response actions for all water users located in or dependent on water resources” in Davidson, Forsyth, Guilford and Randolph counties along with the two-thirds of the state’s counties roughly lying east of Interstate 77. The 48 million gallons that will be pumped daily from the plant will be even more welcome should drought conditions worsen.

Arizona’s General Assembly has plenty on its plate wrong; T reform is needed The Charlotte Observer, May 7

L

et’s recap what we’ve said in the past. Lawmakers in Washington have repeatedly failed to reform a broken immigration system. With no practical, comprehensive border security plan, no workable guest worker programs and unrealistically small quotas for legal immigration, Americans have grown increasingly frustrated, some angry, with the whole situation. Given the federal government’s failings on the matter, it’s hardly surprising a state such as Arizona would step into the breach. But Arizona’s new law is offensive and likely illegal. North Carolina lawmakers should turn a deaf ear to those urging this state to follow Arizona’s lead. It’s simply the wrong way to go. Frustration with the situation is understandable. There are about 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. – about 460,000 in Arizona and about 350,000 in North Carolina, according to the Pew Hispanic Center. The very fact that so many are here in violation of federal law irks plenty of people. But in today’s dire economy, their presence has been particularly stinging to many who are jobless or struggling to make ends meet. ... Of course, the big problem with Arizona’s law is its directive that state law enforcement officers check the immigration status of people they come into contact with in the course of other law enforcement activity if the officers have “reasonable suspicion” that those people might be in this country illegally. The legislation bars profiling someone based on race, but – tellingly – doesn’t specify how this is to be enforced. That provides little comfort that Arizona will rigorously oversee the enforcement of this law to ensure profiling does not occur. Unfortunately, the prospect for civil liberties violations is great. President Barack Obama called the Arizona law misguided and that he wants to pursue immigration reform this year. We hope that wasn’t just pandering. Washington’s foot-dragging on immigration reform has allowed, even emboldened, Arizona to pass its law. Other states may follow suit. Congress can and should put a stop to it. But it’s got to act. The time is now.

he short session of the General Assembly has convened in Raleigh and the primary emphasis will be on filling an estimated 800 million dollar shortfall in the state budget that begins July 1. The elephant in both chambers, however, is November’s elections. All 170 seats are up for election and lawmakers know voters don’t like the direction our state is headed, are highly dissatisfied with both political parties and are unhappy with incumbents. Here’s a suggestion to legislators: Do your job and show voters you are doing the job you were elected to do. Let us offer four areas in which lawmakers could demonstrate true leadership. Let’s start alphabetically, with the ABC system. The problems with our system of alcohol control include excessive salaries, generous perks to board members, nepotism and overpayments in construction of ABC stores. Local boards

want to increase their markup from 39 to 41.5 percent because even with a monopoly, nine of the 167 local boards are losing MY SPIN money and many more are barely Tom breaking even. Campbell Bowing to pres■■■ sure by local ABC boards, a legislative committee recently unwisely watered down reforms. This is a time to admit the old system is broken and either undertake dramatic reforms or privatize the sale of alcohol, which would likely generate more tax revenues for the state and local governments. North Carolina has developed a reputation for corrupt government and the next needed action is to change that impression. Reforms to date don’t go far enough in changing campaign finance or ethics laws. Unfortunately, good offi-

cials get painted with the same brush as those who use their positions for personal gain, but that is going to continue until those good officials stop worrying so much about offending members of their “club” and begin taking these reforms seriously. Fixing mental health is another great opportunity. We’ve known since shortly after the legislature passed reforms in 2001 that these reforms were not working, but there has been little real reform of the reforms. It is unconscionable to learn mental hospital employees have dragged a patient along the floor then put a pillow over his head. We need a zero tolerance policy for abuses, mismanagement and waste. These problems continue because the mentally ill don’t have a strong lobby and have gone on far too long. Finally, lawmakers need to reform antiquated tax codes. They know it. We know it. For over 20 years, there have

been study commissions, blue ribbon panels and lengthy debates on the subject. There are solid proposals that could quickly modernize and make our state’s tax policies more equitable if sufficient backbone can be found that will tune out special interests and tune in to the interests of our state. Bold action on these four reforms would make an immediate impact and, while they might offend some, we believe the majority of voters would see that our representatives are acting rather than ignoring serious issues. Sometimes the way a leader can remain in office is to demonstrate a willingness to sacrifice their position by doing the right thing.

No restraint

Bipartisan failures of government to control spending cause great damage BY MARK W. HENDRICKSON

E

conomic error knows no partisan bounds. Republican Herbert Hoover and Democrat Franklin Roosevelt both adopted foolish, harmful policies during the Great Depression. Republican George W. Bush’s stimulus plan made no sense, and neither did Democrat Barack Obama’s. The greatest threat to our country’s future is chronic overspending by the federal government. We are racing toward national bankruptcy. Once again, bipartisan economic ignorance is the problem. Neither political party seems ready to tackle the spending problem. This is not to say, as some do, that there are no significant differences between Republicans and Democrats. Such assertions are either intellectually lazy or an expression of extreme exasperation. That being said, neither party is sufficiently grounded in the philosophy of freedom and free enterprise to propose a freeze in government spending, much less a quantum reduction in the power and scope of government intervention into economic matters. Instead, the party of Big Government – the Republicans – and the party of Bigger Government – the Democrats –both support continued increases in federal spending. Under the leadership of the Obama-Pelosi-Reid troika, Democrats have embarked on a reckless, dangerous spending splurge. Republicans are enjoying a resurgence of popularity by virtue of their opposition to the Democrats’ attempts to expand federal control over health care, energy, education, etc. But would Republicans cut spending, balance the budget, shrink government and begin to reduce the gargantuan national debt if voters gave them the chance? I have my doubts. We saw earlier this decade that, given

majority status, Republicans went wild with earmarks and produced gushers of red ink in Washington. It seems to me that the best thing one could say about the Republicans is that might take us down the path toward national bankruptcy more slowly than the Democrats. What we have here is a classic case of the “good cop, bad cop” routine. In terms of controlling government spending, Republicans may seem far more pleasant for us to deal with than the other guys, but in the final analysis, they’re both part of a statist system that would curtail our economic liberty and penalize us with diminished prosperity. We may regard Republicans as the “good cops” insofar as they seem more aware that if they redistribute wealth too rapidly, the system may collapse. However, the GOP has a long track record of redistributing wealth (some to different special interests than Democrats and some to the same but to a different extent) and they never question the fundamental legitimacy of government power trumping property rights. Here are a few timely questions: What do Republicans want, other than to unseat Democrats? What is their vision? What are their principles? What concrete,

coherent programs have Republicans offered to shrink government? What challenge are they posing to the practice of redistributing wealth? Few Republicans talk about shrinking the leviathan state. They may talk about the need for fiscal responsibility, affordability, and slowing the growth of the state, but few question the premise that the state must continue to grow. Economic problems abound. Weak job prospects, a shaky housing market, concerns about affordable health care, ongoing bank closures – take your pick, they’re all serious and large numbers of Americans are affected by each one of those problems. But the biggest, most menacing, economic problem of all – the one that jeopardizes the economic well-being of almost all of us – is reckless overspending by the federal government. Years of unjustified and unaffordable government spending have brought us to the precipice of national bankruptcy. When investor demand for government debt falls below the bloated supply, interest rates will surge and the Fed will probably inflate like mad. We will suffer massive business failures, surging unemployment, a colossal debt implosion and/or a severely depreciated (if not utterly ruined) currency, and significantly lower standards of living. Who got us into this parlous predicament? The facile answer for conservatives is to blame Democrats. Certainly, Democrats are not innocent in this matter. But are Republicans blameless? No. Outof-control government spending has been a bipartisan failure. MARK W. HENDRICKSON, Ph.D., is an adjunct faculty member, economist, and contributing scholar with The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College.

Nation’s ‘greater good’ ideals are in jeopardy BY BRITT MOORE

L

ife can be a crazy and confusing. So can people. Witness High Point’s community over the last few months. March 28, tornados rip through leaving devastation. Yet, compassion and charity of neighbors near and far moved in to ease wherever it could. Friends and strangers showing up with chain saws, food, coffee or a pair gloves and a willing heart. April 30, the innocent lives of two of our children from the High Point Christian Academy family were taken in a tragic accident and others injured sending waves of sadness around the area. Again the community responded. Wesleyan Chris-

tian Academy came together during the middle of classes to pray for the victims and their families. Westchester Academy wore ribbons during sports events in honor. People who do not even know these kids, like me, continue to pray and help. News travels fast these days, I don’t have to tell you that. It is an amazing thing to witness. I promise you that people by the thousands, from all over the city, state, country and the world were touched by this. Via mail, e-mail, facebook, text, calls, people shed tears, sent up prayers, sent donations, asked why. All of which is needed and very gratifying to see. We are blessed to be free to do these things of our own fruition.

GUEST COLUMN

---

And yet at times that welcomed sense of community, togetherness, love, respect and appreciation is so elusive as to be lethal. And it is happening every day. Our country is in trouble and the mood is so divisive, she just may fall. If you don’t think it can happen here, you are naive. America at its core is not just a plot of land. Learn your history, the real history. You will have to do it on your own, it is no longer taught in public school or college. This country was an idea, a dream. One where things mattered such as individual liberty

and freedom, self-reliance and accountability, laws and consequences. All of this placed squarely on the foundation of Judeo-Christian principles. How is it with the aforementioned tragedies we can rally with a passion that can bring out the best in humankind, igniting the soul to emotions so deep, we seldom go there, but feel so good about ourselves when we do? Then daily, we witness infighting so vicious that the foundations of this great country are crumbling. There may be no better feeling than when a community is united with a common purpose for its greater good. Mark my words, the greater good of this country is on the line, now. If we continue with the current

apathy and fail to rally now, we will forever lose this country for our children and generations to come all around the world. In his farewell address, George Washington warned against the biggest threats to the Republic, those forces of geographical sectionalism, political factionalism and foreign powers in domestic affairs. He counseled against the establishment of “permanent alliances with other countries” that he feared would inevitably be subversive of America’s national interest. We have arrived. Wonder how George knew all this? Learn your history, it’s there. BRITT MOORE lives in High Point.

Reform and you Financial proposals impact more than Wall Street NEW YORK (AP) – The planned creation of a consumer financial protection agency isn’t the only aspect of financial regulatory reform that could impact your wallet. Although much of the legislation working its way through the Senate is aimed at Wall Street, among nearly 200 proposed amendments are dozens that address consumer issues. From capping credit card interest rates and ATM fees, to limiting third-party access to your credit report, senators have put forth an array of proposals that could affect your financial life. Here are some of the most notable: • Free credit scores: One of few amendments that has bipartisan backing is a re-

quirement that each of the three credit reporting agencies provide a free credit score once a year, the same way they must now provide a free annual credit report. The companies could charge “reasonable fees” for providing further scores. • Make FDIC insurance increase permanent: As part of the government’s response to the financial crisis, the limit on Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. coverage for individual accounts was raised to $250,000 from $100,000 in an attempt to calm depositor’s fears and prevent runs on banks. The extension expires on Jan. 1, 2014. This amendment would make the higher limit permanent. Supported by both the banking industry and consumer advocates,

it’s likely this amendment will make it through. • Extend fiduciary duty to investment advisers: Brokers, dealers and investment advisers would be required to act “in the best interest of the customer” when providing personalized investment advice to average investors. The amendment would require that they disclose conflicts of interest; sell only suitable investments to their customers; and let their customers know when they sell a limited range of products, such as only annuities or mutual funds marketed by the company that employs them. There are several amendments supporting similar approaches from different senators. •Ban the use of credit checks for employment: Lawmakers in at least 16 states have proposed prohibiting current or prospective employers from using credit checks for employment purposes, even if an

individual consents. This amendment would make such a ban federal law – with exceptions for certain jobs related to national security, working with specified state or local government agencies, or handling customer funds or company financial accounts. The strength of the exceptions will be a big factor in how much support this measure gathers. • Exclude nonfinancial merchants: Several amendments would exempt businesses that extend credit – but that aren’t banks or credit unions – from the protections on consumer lending. One amendment excludes auto dealers and other small retailers that offer credit. There’s likely to be heated debate over which businesses should be covered by the law and which get a pass. • Credit card interest rate caps: One proposal would limit credit card interest rates to a maximum 15

percent. The amendment would also prohibit card companies from charging other fees, not considered finance charges, to evade that limit. The amendment would cap the total sum of such fees so that they don’t exceed the interest charges. It contains a provision for the limit to increase if market interest rates rise. Banks have already seen their card profits diminished by credit card reforms that took effect in February, so these proposals face strong opposition. • ATM fee cap: This amendment would require fees charged for transactions done at ATMs to “bear a reasonable relation to the cost of processing the transaction,” and would be capped at 50 cents per transaction. The proposal would cut into the profits of independent ATM operators, along with banks. It has just a handful of liberal sponsors and faces an uphill battle to pass.

their dogs so they don’t have to go to her. They also don’t have to leave their pets at an unfamiliar grooming salon for hours on end, she said. “One of my biggest client-bases is mothers with very active children,” Joyce said. “Also people

that are limited in their travel or elderly people can benefit from the service.” The van is outfitted with a grooming table, a tub, a sink and two water heaters in the back. It’s also climate controlled. It’s a new idea in the

world of dog grooming that 29-year-old Joyce decided upon working in a grooming shop and in a veterinary’s office. While working at the vet, Joyce said she watched and admired a groomer there. “It was something I wanted to do, but had no clue as to how to get started,” she said. “The groomer encouraged me that if I wanted to do this, I had to go for it.” She completed the appropriate training and groomed dogs at a PetSmart store, but she wanted to give more attention to each pooch. In February 2009, she discovered the van was

for sale from a former mobile grooming company. She took a trip to see the van for a friend who wanted to go into the business. But the van, much like the dogs she works with every day, stole her heart, she said. “I fell in love with this van,” she said. “It has everything I need in it.” She grooms about six dogs a day in the High Point area, depending on the day, and each appointment takes about 45 minutes. Joyce is in high demand due to her limited time, but also due to the undivided attention she can give the dogs. “Mobile grooming can be more extensive than shop grooming,” she said. “It’s the nature of the business to give the dogs more oneon-one attention.” Joyce admits every job, no matter how unconventional, has its ups and downs. But whenever she’s having a bad day, her furry clients can make her smile. “I can go into work every day knowing that no matter how bad I feel, if I’m sick or if I’m tired, I won’t feel sad anymore at the end of the day,” she said. “I don’t feel sad anymore because I have these little animals that never talk back and just want your love.” phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

NEW YORK (AP) – Adobe is firing back at Apple with love. Adobe Systems Inc. is countering Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs’ recent jab at Adobe’s Flash technology for Web video and games. Jobs had described Flash as buggy and unfit for Apple’s iPhone and iPad gadgets. Adobe is running advertisements in major newspapers saying “We Love Apple” – with a bright red heart in place of love. The ad begins, “We love creativity,” “We love innovation,” “We love apps.” “What we don’t love,” it continues, “is anybody taking away your freedom to choose what you create, how you create it, and what you experience on the Web.” Adobe cofounders Chuck Geschke and John Warnock, highly regarded in Silicon Valley, also posted a statement criticizing Apple. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

A customer looks through the bargain bins at a Target store in Mountain View, Calif.

Looking for that bargain? Here are some tips NEW YORK (AP) – Retailers say they’re selling more merchandise, including designer clothing, at full price these days. That means you won’t find piles of deals at 70 percent off, but they’re still out there. Here are some up-tothe-minute tips on bargain-hunting for coveted brands. • The mall: There are still department stores and mall chains offering broad discounts. They’re just quieter about it than they were during the recession-fueled fire sales, so keep looking in stores and online. Dan de Grandpre, editor-in-chief of online shopping and discount guide dealnews. com, said the most efficient way to find store coupons is search online for the name of the store and the word “coupon,â€? rather than jumping from one online coupon site to another. • Off-price chains: There are two types of off-price chains – outlet stores connected to full-price chains such as Saks Fifth Avenue and standalone chains such as T.J. Maxx and Filene’s Basement. Stores like T.J. Maxx get their merchandise from a variety of sources that want to get rid of

excess merchandise. You can find good deals, but finding something specific can be hit-or-miss. One thing to be wary of: Outlet stores don’t always sell the same stuff as the big chain. For example, Nordstrom Rack gets only about 25 percent of its merchandise from the parent stores; the rest is purchased or made to sell at the outlet. So carefully assess the quality and price. While you can consistently find branded goods at low prices at places like T.J. Maxx, if you want to put your hands on a specific top designer label, it’s best to go to one of the designer stores’ outlets, said Candace Corlett, principal at consulting firm WSL Strategic. Corlett advises shoppers looking for top designer names to search for the items stocked in small quantities. “You should look for the treasures,â€? she said. Nordstrom Rack’s new Manhattan store earlier this week was offering a men’s leather jacket by John Varvatos for $699.97, slashed from $1,995; and a pair of sunglasses by Prada’s Miu Miu for $59.97, reduced from $150. • Private designer sales sites: Web sites that offer deep discounts on status

brands for a limited time to subscribing members, known as “private sales sites,â€? are proliferating. Of course, all you have to do to become a “memberâ€? is sign up. Gilt.com, hautelook. com and ruelala.com are among the bestknown fashion sites. Others include Totsy, which targets expecting moms and families with items like diaper bags and strollers. You should sign up for sites that focus on the kind of merchandise you want, or the sites will bombard you with too many e-mails. These sites offer discounts of up to 70 percent, but the bad news is that the hottest items can sell out within a few minutes. • Consignment shops: Secondhand shops are expanding, said Adele R. Meyer, executive director for the National Association of Resale and Thrift Shops, which counts more than 1,200 members, up from 900 a year ago. Shoppers looking for top premium brands such as Prada and Chanel should pick consignment shops in wealthy areas, because they tend to get the best merchandise. If you like a store, develop a rapport with the store owner and get

on the store’s wish lists so that when what you want comes in, the store can contact you. Carefully examine the shop’s return policies – many don’t accept returns. And check for stains on clothing and other problems. The best deals can be found when consignment shops start clearing out seasonal goods. Markdowns can hit as much as 90 percent off retail. At Designer Resale, a consignment shop in Manhattan, the summer sale begins at the end of July. • Haggle: Dealnews. com’s Grandpre noted that even as the economy recovers, “there’s still room to haggle,â€? particularly on the most expensive items. So if you want a 30 percent discount on an evening gown instead of 10 percent, ask. Hey, it can’t hurt.

Stanley to cut 530 jobs ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

WINSTON-SALEM – Stanley Furniture Co. Inc. conceded last week that its days of being a predominantly domestic manufacturer are over. The company said it is shifting the bulk of its production of adult furniture to offshore vendors by the end of the year, cutting 530 jobs in Virginia – or about 41 percent of its work force of 1,300. Most of the jobs will be eliminated in the fourth quarter. The biggest part of the

blow will be felt in its hometown of Stanleytown, Va., where the operations there represent one of the largest remaining domestic plants in terms of work force. The plant will be converted into a warehouse and distribution center. Stanley said it will maintain quick-ship production of its youth and nursery lines in Robbinsville in Western North Carolina, where it has concentrated the manufacturing of those pieces in recent years.

Under no circumstances shall this announcement constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of, the Bonds in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. The Bonds will be sold by means of an Official Statement.

Hiring continues in some niches responsible behavior. Ask questions about stability, if the firm is overstaffed, if it’s cut back on expenses and if it’s laid people office in the past, because it shows they’ve accepted reality.” Experience in surviving recessions bodes well for their surviving this one.

BY MILDRED L. CULP WORKWISE FEATURES

Although the recession has wiped out many careers, hiring continues, especially in some niches. Some, but not all, are highly-specialized, open only to people with related experience and training. Niches in the legal, medical and credit recovery field offer some opportunities worth getting a toe-hold into, then capitalizing on.

THE FUTURE

NICHES Douglas Minor, president of Easy Credit Relief Inc., in Westlake Village, Calif., defies the stereotype of the fast-talking credit-recovery businessman. “We educate recovery from short sales, foreclosures, bankruptcy and debt-settlement,” he says. “We help people recover their credit score, dignity and self-worth. This isn’t a life sentence.” He maintains, however, that the need for businesses in his niche will continue long after the recession, because of credit ignorance. “Parents don’t teach us enough about these things,” he says. “It’s sort of a perpetual problem. Until our society says credit education is important and essential, we will see continued need for this industry.” Minor points out that financial educators and speakers, salespeople and those with experience in the mortgage industry can find opportunities in the field nationally. However, he cautions job seekers to research

SPECIAL | WORKWISE FEATURES

Doug Minor and a client discuss methods for recovering credit. As president of Westlake, Calif.’s Easy Credit Relief Inc., Minor has become very aware of career opportunities in his niche. companies well, beginning with a company’s founding date, to avoid businesses that have formed since December, 2007, which might be capitalizing on a trend and not committed to helping clients change behaviors. Three areas of medical staffing (in addition to clerical) are not only in demand but “somewhat recession-proof” in the eyes of Epoch Medical Staffing L.L.C., in Charlottesville, Va. Karen Barnes, partner, is observing high demand for physical thera-

pists. “Anyone with a degree can get a job,” she comments. Barnes credits the lively hiring of nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician’s assistants (PAs) to an attempt to cover responsibilities of physicians, who are in short supply. She also mentions informatics – electronic medical records – as a good field. The legal field has been unstable during the recession, according to Rahul Yodh, principal at Dallas’ Link Legal Search Group, an executive search firm.

At the outset, most firms didn’t react, but the first layoff rippled throughout firms all over the country. Hiring freezes came next. “That’s loosened up since December,” he says. “Smaller and mid-sized firms that didn’t grow beyond their means or pay attorneys more than the market could sustain are very stable and open to hiring based on needs.” Their niches include bankruptcy, litigation, and labor and employment law. Yodh advocates “looking for

When asked about settling into a niche that’s strong during a recession, Yodh points out that “there are no guarantees in life.” Although his advice applies to his field, it has broad application. Hedge your bets: • Take on new responsibilities to diversify. • Be a solid, continuous performer. • Shoot for “the biggest and best deals,” those bringing you high visibility and prestige. • Develop a portfolio of your work. In the specialized medical industry, Barnes mentions that education is the key to the future. “The higher the educational level, the more opportunities you have,” she says. She specifically encourages RNs to become PAs and NPs. Minor concurs that increased awareness of credit recovery trends, along with more education, training and certification, foster advancement into leadership. DR. MILDRED L.

SPECIAL

Wesleyan Christian Academy’s Chris Ferrante (second from right, No. 14 holding helmet) is mobbed at home plate by his teammates after hitting a decisive three-run homer in the fifth inning of Game 2 of the NCISAA 3A state baseball championship series at Finch Field in Thomasville. Ferrante’s blast proved the game-winner in WCA’s 4-3 victory over Forsyth Country Day. The Trojans took the state title with a two-game sweep.

Trojans take state crown BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Given orders to be more aggressive at the plate, junior catcher Chris Ferrante delivered in timely and spectacular fashion Saturday. Ferrante followed coach Scott Davis’s suggestion by drilling a three-run homer against Forsyth Country Day in the fifth, providing what proved to be winning blow as Wesleyan Christian Academy grabbed its second North Carolina Independent School Athletic Association 3A baseball championship in three seasons. “I told him that he was the No. 4 hitter and I wanted him to drive the ball deep early in the count,” Davis said. “He got a good pitch to hit and was able to connect.” Ferrante drilled a 0-1 fastball

Wesleyan makes big splash on state championship stage. 5D from Furies reliever Garrett Royster, who came on after starter Tyler Alberts was taken off the mount in the wake of walking the first two batters of the inning. The blast gave the Trojans a 4-3 lead that turned out to be the final margin in the capper to an 18-7 season and a sweep against the Furies in the three-game 3A playoff at Finch Field. FCD winds up 19-10. “The past couple of weeks I’ve been taking too many pitches, watching good ones go and swinging at too many bad ones and getting myself out,” Ferrante said. “When I saw that pitch I figured

what not this one. I wasn’t going to see a much better pitch, so I hit it.” Ferrante said the ball was where he likes to see pitches. He lined it over the wall just to the left of the main scoreboard. “It was belt-high on the inner third of the plate,” Ferrante said. “That’s my sweet spot. I couldn’t tell if it was going to carry out because of the deep field and big wall. When I saw the umpire wave his hand, I knew I had done something special.” The Trojans enjoyed the sweetness of sweeping the Furies in the first two games of the three-game series thanks to Ferrante coming up with the key play when Seth Constable tried to steal home with one out in the bottom of the seventh. Constable, who laced a lead-

off double and went to third on a groundout, broke for the plate with Nick Ferri batting. Ferrante quickly called for a pitchout from reliever David Anderson and applied the tag. “I can’t credit David enough to get the ball to the plate right where we needed it,” Ferrante said. “I saw the runner break, I called for the pitchout and I had just enough time to apply the tag.” FCD coach Andy Partin argued the call, claiming Anderson broke his motion during his delivery. Wesleyan shortstop Bennett Hixson then handled a bad-hop grounder from the next batter to get the final out, prompting the Trojans to leap into a celebratory pile in the middle of the diamond. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Lookin At Lucky wins Preakness; Super Saver fades BALTIMORE (AP) – Change in jockeys, change in fortune. So it was for trainer Bob Baffert and his Preakness-winning colt Lookin At Lucky, who stayed out of trouble with Martin Garcia aboard and held off First Dude to win by three quarters of a length Saturday. Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver faded to eighth as the 9-5 favorite in the 12-horse field, squandering a perfect trip and foiling jockey Calvin Borel’s boast of a Triple Crown. “When I asked him, he kind of just folded up. It happens,” said Borel, who didn’t ride the rail this time – his signature trip. Jackson Bend was another head back in third.

Lookin At Lucky ran 13⁄16 miles in 1:55.47, giving Baffert his fifth Preakness victory, tying him with D. Wayne Lukas for second all-time. It was the Hall of Famer’s first Triple Crown win since 2002, when War Emblem won at Pimlico. “When they turned for home, he can really finish,” Baffert said. “When I saw those red colors making that cruise, I thought, ‘Oh boy, he’s running today.”’ Lucky’s win means yet another year will pass without a Triple Crown champion. Affirmed was the last to sweep the Derby, Preakness and Belmont in 1978. Lookin At Lucky paid $6.80, $4.60 and $3.80 as the 2-1 second choice. First Dude returned $16.60

and $9.20, while Jackson Bend paid $6.60 to show. Yawanna Twist was fourth, followed by Dublin, Paddy O’Prado and Caracortado. Then came Super Saver, Schoolyard Dreams, Aikenite, Pleasant Prince and Northern Giant. Baffert made a gutsy decision when he replaced Garrett Gomez with Garcia after Lookin At Lucky finished sixth on a sloppy track as the Derby favorite two weeks ago. At Churchill Downs, the bay colt was compromised by his starting position on the rail. He was immediately checked hard along the fence under Gomez, who rode Lookin At Lucky in his first nine races, including a troubled trip as

the beaten favorite in the Santa Anita Derby. “Our luck had to change somehow the way the trips have been,” Baffert said. Things started to look up Wednesday when Lucky drew the No. 7 post, with Super Saver immediately to his outside. Garcia kept Lookin At Lucky clear and out of trouble while running mid-pack down the backstretch, behind pacesetting First Dude. He made a big move on the final turn to challenge the surprisingly stubborn First Dude, a 23-1 long shot. Turning for home, Super Saver came up empty. “He run so hard in the Derby,” Borel said. “He’s not a big horse and he wore out.”

HIT AND RUN

W

e’re just a few weeks away from the dawn of the Stephen Strasburg Era with the Washington Nationals, and I can’t wait. For financial reasons that are too complicated to explain in a short story such as this, the Nationals need to wait until June 1 to call up their hotshot pitching phenom. I expect he’ll get the call no later than June 2. In two starts for Triple-A Syracuse, Strasburg has struck out 13 batters and allowed

only one hit in 13 innings of work. He tossed six innings on no-hit ball for the Chiefs en route to a 4-0 victory over the Norfolk Tides on Wednesday night. Strasburg regularly hits the mid- and upper-90s with his fastball, and his curveball has frozen batters at Double- and Triple A. Strasburg, who starred at San Diego State, signed a $15.1-million, four-year contract after being selected first overall in the amateur draft. That contract was a record for an ama-

teur baseball player. If Strasburg can come close to his minor-league performances when he reached the big leagues, he’ll be a bargain. And with the Nationals currently sailing along above .500 and in the middle of the National League East race, Strasburg could arrive just in time to create Nationals’ pennant fever. It should make for an exciting summer.

Big names dot All-Star qualifier O

n some occasions, the Showdown qualifying races that were the last chance to get into the NASCAR All-Star race held little appeal because few top-flight drivers were entered. Not on Saturday at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Thanks in large part to the struggles of Richard Childress Racing and RoushFenway Racing, some of the sport’s more notable names will be in the 40lap event unless one of them wins today at Dover International Speedway. Heading the list are Jeff Burton and Clint Bowyer from RCR, and Greg Biffle and Carl Edwards from Roush-Fenway. Others are Juan Pablo Montoya and today’s pole-sitter Martin Truex Jr. All are not automatically eligible for the All-Star race because they have not won since the start of last season or have not won a series championship or the All-Star race in the past 10 years. Burton, with 21 wins, isn’t eligible even though he has won more races

than 12 drivers who are. Edwards (16 victories) and Biffle (14) have been to victory lane than more than 10 drivers in the field. “Well, I certainly think that if you look at who SPORTS is in that race, it’s a lot of good teams and a lot Greer of good drivers and none Smith of those guys that are in ■■■ it are proud to be in it,” Burton said. “They don’t want to be in it. They want to be in the other race. Every one of those drivers and teams, as we are, are embarrassed about being in that race. But the rules are the rules and somebody’s going to go out and find a way to win that race and move in.” The first- and second-place finishers advance to the All-Star race. Another will advance via voting by fans. Burton isn’t actively trying to get in by the fan vote.

“It doesn’t mean that it wouldn’t mean a lot to me if the fans voted me in, but I’m not asking for the vote,” Burton said. “They all want me to ask for the vote, but I’m not going to do it. I’m embarrassed we are not in it and that is really where I am.”

BURNOUT CONTESTANTS NAMED Defending champion Kevin Harvick leads the drivers who will participate in the burnout contest that precedes all of the racing on Saturday night. Others are Bowyer, Joey Logano, Ryan Newman, David Reutimann, Kyle Busch and Jamie McMurray. How seriously should the participants take competition based on the racing credentials, or better yet, lack of racing credentials among those who will serve as judges? The only one on the panel who has raced professionally is former Cup driver Jimmy Spencer. The others are Carolina Panthers wideout Steve Smith, professional wrestler Jeff Hardy and

two members of the rock band Creed that will perform in concert Saturday in the infield beginning at 3:15 p.m.

SPARK PLUGS Caraway Speedway is using a raffle to entice purchase of lap sponsorships for its Rusty Harpe Memorial late model race on July 7. If all 200 laps are sponsored at $100 each, the winnertake-all pot will be $5,000. If between 100 and 200 laps are sold, the drawing prize will be $2,000. If less than 100 laps are sold, the amount to be won will be $10 for each lap sold. Lap sponsors receive two grandstand tickets and two dinners at the track’s hospitality tent. ... Goodyear tire testing for the new generation Nationwide car is scheduled Tuesday and Wednesday at Daytona, where the new car is to debut in July. Scott Wimmer is among the 22 drivers scheduled to participate according to the track. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Vickers released from hospital DOVER, Del. (AP) – NASCAR driver Brian Vickers was released from the hospital where he was treated for blood clots in his legs and near his lungs. Red Bull Racing said their driver was released Friday night from a Washington hospital. He was admitted Wednesday. Red Bull Racing said Vickers’ return to racing is uncertain. He will not race this weekend at Dover International Speedway. “Hopefully he gets better and he gets back here pretty soon,” driver Juan Pablo Montoya said. The 26-year-old Vickers has been cleared to fly to Charlotte, where he will meet with a group of specialists. Casey Mears will replace Vickers in the No. 83 Toyota.

Johnson seeks end to mini-slump

AP

Kyle Busch poses with the trophy in victory lane after winning the NASCAR Nationwide Series 200 on Saturday in Dover, Del.

Busch dominates Dover DOVER, Del. (AP) – Kyle Busch has won the Nationwide Series race at Dover International Speedway on Saturday, a day after he ran out of fuel at the end of the Trucks Series race. Busch won from the pole in a race that needed a green-white checkered finish Saturday. And what a finish. The final laps were marred by wrecks, including one in which Clint Bowyer intentionally hit Denny Hamlin in retaliation for an earlier accident. Bowyer was immedi-

ately parked and ordered straight to the NASCAR hauler. The race was red flagged for 11 minutes, 43 seconds with less than 10 laps remaining after an accident left fluid and debris all over the track. Ryan Newman, Jamie McMurray, Reed Sorenson and Jason Leffler rounded out the top five. “It got exciting for everybody at the end,” Newman said, laughing. Bowyer was rear-ended by Hamlin on one of the late restarts. Bowyer took his car to the pits, but just

before the green flagged dropped, he drove into Hamlin and spun the No. 20. Hamlin said his hit on Bowyer was “nothing intentional.” Bowyer could lose points as part of a NASCAR punishment. “I hope that they don’t penalize Clint Bowyer,” McMurray said. “You don’t want to hurt anybody, but when someone takes you out of a race like that and you have no chance of finishing, and they’re still going to finish, that is just the best gratification that a guy can have.”

Webber takes Monaco GP pole MONACO (AP) – Mark Webber was fastest in qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix on Saturday, giving Red Bull its sixth straight start from the pole position this Formula One season. The Australian turned a lap in 1 minute, 13.826 seconds around the winding street circuit to claim his fourth career pole a week after his wire-towire victory in the Spanish GP. Robert Kubica of Renault will start second ahead of Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull and Felipe Massa of Ferrari goes from fourth, followed by Lewis Hamilton of McLaren. Fernando Alonso will start from pit lane after missing qualifying because his Ferrari was damaged when he crashed into a barrier during the final practice session earlier Saturday. Webber beat Kubica by nearly

three-tenths of a second to set a course record for pole. “It’s a vicious venue in terms of punishment for mistakes,” Webber said. Overall F1 leader and defending champion Jenson Button will start eighth behind Michael Schumacher, who fell a spot back of Nico Rosberg after his Mercedes teammate inadvertently blocked him. Webber is looking to become the second Australian after Jack Brabham to win at the iconic circuit. With teams struggling to match Red Bull’s pace and on a narrow circuit offering few overtaking chances, Webber is set up for a fourth career victory. Kubica was on the leaders’ pace in each of the three practice sessions and the Pole dominated the final qualifying session, along with Webber. Alonso, who set the previous pole

record on his way to victory four years ago, watched qualifying from Ferrari’s garage. The Spaniard slid into the wall at the Massenet corner 21 minutes into the final free practice session, damaging his car’s chassis and front suspension, and losing his front right tire. Alonso will start behind the six cars from the new teams after Lotus, Virgin and HRT all failed to get past the first qualifying round for the sixth straight race weekend. Despite 23 cars being on track for that first session, there were no traffic incidents. Vitaly Petrov swerved into the first corner padding and will start 14th. Button leads the overall standings with 70 points. Alonso has 67, Vettel 60 and Webber 53. Hamilton and Massa each have 49, while Kubica has 44.

DOVER, Del. (AP) – Jimmie Johnson is in a mini-slump. A big one by his standards. He’s finished two of the last three races in the garage instead of on the track. Johnson hasn’t won in six races and no longer holds the Sprint Cup points lead. Throw in a busted rear axle in the season-opening Daytona 500 and he already has two more DNF’s than he did all of last year. Johnson is suddenly hearing questions he’s not accustomed to answering. Has Johnson’s luck finally run out? Have other drivers – notably the ones at Joe Gibbs Racing – finally caught up with the four-time defending champ? Ahh, not so fast. For all the issues that have hit Johnson’s No. 48 team this season, he still has three wins and is a lock to qualify for the Chase for the championship. And no driver dominates those final 10 championship races quite like Johnson and his Hendrick Motorsports crew. Count out that fifth title at your own risk. Still, watching Johnson’s Chevrolet limp toward the garage after getting caught up in wrecks has to have the rest of the field hoping some of that misfortune lingers well into October and November. “We’ve been saying this all along with the 48 car being at the top of its game, this stuff doesn’t last forever,” Johnson said. “The garage area get smarter, teams, drivers, everyone is developing and trying to make their equipment faster and better.” Johnson refuses to blame NASCAR’s ear-

ly-season shift to the spoiler as the reason. Instead, it’s been bad luck and accidents that have some thinking he might finally be vulnerable. He’s not fearful this little stretch is a sign of bad things ahead. “We’re not where we want to be,” he said, “but we’re still awfully competitive. We’re not as worried or concerned as some of the headlines may read and some speculation that might be out there.” Johnson has finished 31st and 36th in two of his last three races. His miserable race last week at Darlington Raceway ended in a crash. Johnson acknowledges NASCAR’s change from the wing to a spoiler has been an adjustment, but crew chief Chad Knaus and the HMS team were prepared. As Johnson has cooled, his closest competitors have ripped off hot streaks. Over Johnson’s winless streak, Denny Hamlin has won three times. Kevin Harvick, who grabbed the points lead, has a win and four straight top-sevens. Kyle Busch has been steady and Johnson’s HMS teammate Jeff Gordon has no wins to show for some otherwise fantastic up-front runs. All are nipping at the shot to end Johnson’s reign. “If we can beat them in the first 10, we can beat them in the last 10,” Harvick said. Jeff Burton, ninth in the standings, doesn’t feel Johnson’s time is up just because of some recent struggles. Johnson could start to put some of the doubts to rest with a strong performance today at Dover International Speedway. He’s at one of his favorite tracks on the onemile concrete at Dover.

Rays designate Burrell for assignment ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) – Pat Burrell’s unproductive stint in Tampa Bay is over. The Rays designated the ex-Philadelphia slugger for assignment before Saturday’s game against Seattle and selected the contract of former Texas Rangers infielder Hank Blalock from Triple-A. Burrell has struggled since signing with the Rays two months after helping the Phillies beat Tampa Bay in the 2008 World Series. He batted .221 with 14 homers and 64 RBIs in 2009. The 33-yearold was hitting .202 with two homers this year.

HPU moves to 26-25 (12-11 Big South Conference), while PC falls to 12-37, 4-19 BSC. “This was a great, great offensive performance,” said head coach Craig Cozart. “We hit in every situation and executed just about perfectly. We got six quality innings from Schultz and the bullpen did a good job. We put ourselves in a great position to go for the sweep tomorrow. This is a tremendous win and we need to build off this as we finish out the season.” The Panthers put up 17 runs on 13 hits with eight walks, while HPU pitchers allowed just three runs on six hits with 11 strikeouts. After giving up a run in the first inning the Panthers gave Schultz a 5-1 lead in the top of the second. Murray White IV earned a walk on four straight balls to load the bases. Drew Geissinger took the first pitch from Joe Hammond down the left field line for a bases clearing double. Pablo Rosario’s fly ball to right field moved Geissinger to third base and he scored on Mike Mercurio’s single to center. Presbyterian College went to the bullpen, bringing out lefty Chase Gould who caught Mercurio trying to steal second for the third out. Schultz walked three batters in the second inning to load the bases with two outs but Gabe Grammer popped up the first pitch he saw the end the inning, stranding all three runners. Roberts led off the third with a walk, scoring on Matt Gantner’s 23rd double of the season. Steve Antolik reached on a fielder’s choice and a double steal moved both Gantner and Antolik in to scoring position. Kyle Mahoney brought both runners in with a single up the middle to give HPU an 8-1 lead. Schultz allowed three runs, two earned in six innings with eight strikeouts and six walks. Roberts earned three walks in the game, scoring four runs to bring his season total to 77. Gantner went 4-for-4 with three runs scored and four RBIs. HPU will go for the sweep of today at 1 p.m.

Peachee leads HPU men’s track at Georgia Tech SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

ATLANTA – Freshman Dakota Peachee led the High Point University men’s track & field team with a runner-up finish in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the Georgia Tech Invitational on Friday in Atlanta, Ga. His time of 8:59.62 was an HPU record. Peachee became the first HPU runner to break 9:00 in the steeplechase. The previous record was 9:02.09 set by Anthony Berkis last year. Peachee crushed his previous best of 9:25.38 at the Big South Championship in April, which was his debut in that event. Peachee will likely qualify for the first round of the NCAA Championship with that performance. Senior Josh Morgan took 18th in the 1,500 in a time of 3:47.54 and junior Jevin Monds finished 22nd in a careerbest 3:48.48. Morgan’s

time was just off his career best of 3:46.13 set at UNC earlier this season, while Monds beat his previous best of 3:50.88 from a year ago. Also on Friday, freshman Josh Pelletier took 11th in the javelin with a throw of 195-11 (59.73m). On Saturday, Morgan finished fifth in his heat and 17th overall in the 800 with a time of 1:51.71. For the HPU women, Manika Gamble took 16th in the 400-meter hurdles and Christina Fenske equaled her career best in the high jump at 5-7. Gamble placed eighth in the fastest heat of the 400-meter hurdles and 16th overall with her time of 59.54. Fenske’s leap of 5-7 in the high jump equaled her HPU record in that event. If she clears 5-8.75 today, she will have a good chance of qualifying for the first round of the NCAA Championship.

Westchester Country Day School’s players walk off the field following Saturday’s 12-1 loss to Kerr-Vance Academy in Game 3 of the N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association 2A state championship series at Wingate University.

Westchester takes second, looks to next year T

he postgame chat ended and the long line of hugs and handshakes began. “I’ll be there opening day,” Zach Gilliland told one of his Westchester Country Day School teammates. Why not. Gilliland, after all, has been there since middle school, watching a fledgling program get better and better. Gilliland and his fellow seniors – Mickey Williard, Thomas McGukin, D.J. Russ, Joe Max Floyd and Alex Embler – almost got the Wildcats all the way to the top, but had to settle for second place after back-to-back losses Saturday at the N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association 2A championship series. “I’ve come a long way, being in this program from middle school – it’s awesome being here for the first time in Westchester history,” Gilliland said from Wingate University’s Ron Christopher Stadium. “We did all we could do, played a great game. We got beat by a good team. “I hope they can take it there next year,” he added. “They’ve got a really good program going.” For the first time in school history, Westchester baseball had it all going the right way. The Wildcats rolled to a Triad Athletic Conference championship – their first – and opened the playoffs as the No. 1 seed. They advanced to the final four and reached the championship series with a

10-5 win over SouthLake Christian. Later Friday night, the team was on the cusp of a championship after toppling KerrVance Academy 11-1 in five innings. That magic could not SPORTS be recaptured Saturday in the blazing sun. Steve Facing Kerr-Vance ace Hanf John Allen in Game 2, ■■■ the Wildcats managed just two hits through six innings and trailed 7-1. A brief rally flared up in the seventh when KerrVance attempted to rest Allen – two relievers allowed four straight batters to reach – but Allen subbed back in for three infield outs. In essence, the lefty both won and saved the 7-4 decision, while Russ suffered the loss after allowing four earned runs in four innings. Westchester was ready to regroup for the Game 3 clincher, putting Embler on the mound with fellow ace Floyd ready to go if needed. But Kerr-Vance owned all the momentum and – capitalizing on two errors – scored four runs in the first. Floyd entered after Embler gave up two singles in the second, but the hit parade continued. Tyler Bolton’s grand slam to deep left-center made it 9-0, and another unearned run scored for a 10-0 cushion. After two scoreless innings from Floyd,

Devin McLemore allowed two runs in the top of the fifth to make it 12-0. Westchester got its only hit in Game 3 in the bottom half, but Gilliland’s double could not stave off a 10-run mercy rule defeat. “Tip your hat,” Wildcats coach Joey Hammond said. “Those guys swung the bats all day long. They were relentless – they just flat-out beat us. We knew they had their arms saved up for today, but they just swung the bats. We couldn’t have expected, after being able to have our way with them last night, for them to have that kind of success.” As for the pitching side of things, the Spartans (27-5) sent Allen back onto the hill to start Game 3, and he wasn’t about to squander the early lead. The tall, thin junior, who said he’s talked about playing for the likes of Gardner-Webb and Clemson, retired the Wildcats in order in the first and third innings and allowed just a walk in the second. He left after three innings, having pitched the maximum 10 – in a three-day period – permitted by the NCISAA. In Saturday’s doubleheader, the lefty allowed two hits, walked five and struck out 15. He threw 149 pitches in all. “The kid throws 10 innings in a day, in this kind of heat,” Hammond marveled. “That says a lot about his mettle.” Allen thought he only threw about a

hundred pitches in the opener. Either way, he knew he was getting the ball in Game 3. “I just felt good. I was basically running off adrenaline,” he said. Allen plays summer ball with Embler on the Carolina Cubs and said the offensive outburst was an unexpected surprise. In all, Kerr-Vance finished with 21 hits Saturday. “Alex, he’s definitely a closer – he would definitely close us out,” Allen said. “But we stepped up today and got some good hits off him.” Because of that, Westchester ended its season 21-6 and with a second-place trophy and second-place medals. All things considered, not a bad year at all. But Saturday wasn’t a day for taking in the big picture. “When you show up as a No. 1 seed you fully expect to win the whole thing, and if you don’t, then you’ve fallen short,” Hammond said. “I don’t think, if you look at any of the faces of those guys down there, would you see any sense of satisfaction of coming to this point. “It is a good thing. To look back at what the program was two years ago to what it is right now, guys are going to be very proud of building something that hopefully is going to be special for years to come,” Hammond added. “It’s one of those things that probably will take some time before you look back and see anything positive in it.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

ROCKINGHAM – Brandon McReynolds, son of former Cup crew chief Larry McReynolds, dominated the UARA 75lap late model race Saturday at Rockingham Speeday. “It was fun,” quipped McReynolds after the race. “We got to move around a lot. We were sliding around – it was just how it played out.” Taking the lead from pole winner Paddy Rodenbeck early in the race, McReynolds drove away from the field to win by

nearly 20 car lengths. “It wasn’t exactly what I came here for,” Rodenbeck said. “It’s definitely a driver’s track – I think maybe we overdrove a little bit early. Rodenbeck held off a challenge from Lee Tissot for third. Alex Yontz and Coleman Pressley completed the top five. Robert Johnson, son of Junior Johnson, was 17th with Clint King of Denton 18th.

Celtics aim to turn back the clock against Magic ORLANDO, Fla.

There were the famil-

would be the difference?” These days, it might be hard to tell. Turning back the clock to make another title run, the resurgent Celtics are healthy again and looking to take down the playoffperfect Orlando Magic starting today in the Eastern Conference finals.

Notre Dame-Miami football rivalry to resume CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) – College football powers Notre Dame and Miami appear ready to play again for the first time since 1990. The once-vaunted rivals are nearing a deal for a threegame series, starting with a game at Chicago’s Soldier Field in 2012, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Friday. The game would be followed by a home-and-home, likely in 2014 and 2016. The Chicago Tribune first reported that the teams were nearing a deal to play in 2012. Games between the Fighting Irish and the Hurricanes were must-see television in the 1980s, when the schools engaged in one of college football’s most

heated series – and those infamous “Catholics vs. Convicts” T-shirts haven’t been forgotten in South Bend or South Florida, either. Apparently, both sides decided it’s time to forget the past. “It’s a game that would be great for both universities,” said the person familiar with the talks, speaking on condition of anonymity because no deal has been signed. “Everyone involved wants it to happen.” The game makes sense for a number of reasons. Foremost, perhaps, it would likely be a TV bonanza, given that even in recent years when both programs have struggled at times, Miami and Notre Dame remain among the top ratings draws.

Notre Dame has been looking to play one neutral-site game a year, with trips to Yankee Stadium (against Army in November) and the Washington Redskins’ FedEx Field (against Maryland in November 2011). The Irish are scheduled to play Arizona State at the Dallas Cowboys’ stadium in 2013. Miami has sought to play an ambitious non-conference schedule as well. The Hurricanes played Oklahoma in 2007 and ’09, will begin a series with Ohio State this fall in Columbus, start a two-game set with Kansas State in 2011, are involved in a five-year series with South Florida, face Florida again in 2013 and will play Nebraska in 2014 and 2015.

The finest trophy of all T

he South Yadkin River meanders through Davie County and crosses under I 40 as a waterway just wide and deep enough to float a canoe most of the year. It’s a great duck hunting location in the early season; if you float it, and you’re a good shot, you’re almost sure to get enough shots at wood ducks to get your three duck limit. Float trips for duck hunting involve putting one vehicle at the take out point and putting in the river or creek at another point. On the way to one of the take out points on the South Yadkin, there’s a small house trailer on a rather large lot that has a vintage Corvette and a relatively new Corvette parked in the drive way. It’s obvious that the owner of the trailer likes Corvettes more than he likes nice houses. Life is all about priorities. For some, it’s ridiculous to even consider paying $1,000 for a fishing rod and reel and others consider that getting out cheap. I’ve hunted with millionaires who shoot a $300 shotgun and are perfectly happy with them and I have another friend who lives simple a simple life, driving a 15-year-old car, and owns three $20,000 Dickson shotguns. No matter what excites you, the most important priority for all with a love of the outdoors is making sure that the outdoor traditions are passed on to the next generations whether the kids involved are your own or someone else’s. Outdoor sportsmen have a great history of passing along the tradition and now, with summer coming along and school ending, is a great time to think about what you can do to insure the future of our sport. In doing this we shouldn’t forget the debt of gratitude we owe to the older generation that helped us get started. The happiest people I know are those who do things for other people, especially those who are young enough to need leadership or old enough to need assistance. I’ve been on the river quite a lot in the last few weeks and I’ve seen a lot of boats with younger anglers catching fish. Not only are the anglers on those boats smiling, the folks who are fishing close

seem to be affected. Nothing brings a smile to a real sportsman’s face like seeing a young angler or hunter finding success. Most of us who’ve accomplished something in our outdoor adventures, have caught enough fish or shot enough ducks or deer to give us a sufficient sense of accomplishment. Once that SPORTS level of satisfaction is obtained, the real feelings of accomplishment often come Dick with helping someone else. Some of us Jones never learn that pleasure and continue ■■■ to try to find satisfaction by getting involved with exotic hunting and fishing techniques and that’s OK, but the happiest outdoorsmen I know, invest in the future of the sport by getting kids involved. If you have children or grandkids, it’s easy for you to continue the tradition the same way you most likely got involved, through family outdoor fishing and hunting outings. Unfortunately, there are a lot of kids who aren’t that lucky. We certainly have enough outdoor media outlets to get kids who have a bent for fishing and hunting to see what it’s all about. Almost all cable systems have at least one full time outdoor channel. The problem is that many of those kids don’t have a mentor who has the same interest. Hunting and fishing recruitment on new sportsmen in many states is dwindling. For those who don’t have their own kids or grandkids to pass the tradition on to, there are events where you get the opportunity. A couple of those opportunities are coming up within the next few weeks in High Point. Hunters Helping Kids is an organization that operates on the idea of getting kids who wouldn’t otherwise have an opportunity to get involved with hunting a chance. They volunteer their time and accumulate money to outfit young hunters who don’t

have a mentor or resources to get the equipment they need. One of the ways they raise money is through events and they’re having a Dinner on May, 22 at 410 English Road, at Union Square. Tickets are $25 and there’ll be prizes, raffles, auctions, and a great meal. The event is being put on by the Central Piedmont Chapter Contact: Mark McDowell of Lodge Creek Game Calls 336 259 8992 or email mmjm@northstate. net for more information. The High Point Parks and Recreation Oak Hollow Marina Youth Fishing Derby is a great event that’s near to my heart. I’ve been Master of Ceremonies at the event for about five years now. I always see kids having a good time and getting an introduction to fishing many will remember for their whole lives. While the parks department does a great job of organizing and putting on the event, there’s always a need for hook baiters and fish removers. Please come out and join me on Saturday, June 5, at the Oak Hollow Marina. Things start at 7:30 a.m. If you know a young person who’d like to enter, preregistration is required and the event is limited to 100 participants. Trophies will be awarded for the biggest fish, largest Carp caught, and most fish caught in each age group. For more information, contact the Marina office at 883-3494. I’ve got a case of shooting medals and a file full of big fish and hunting pictures and none of them measure up to the satisfaction I’ve gained when a kid gave me a big smile and said something like, “That’s the biggest fish I ever caught.” I promise, it’s the greatest trophy of all. I hope I’ll see you at one of these events, at the least. DICK JONES IS a freelance writer living in High Point.

Gilroy’s hat trick leads U.S. past Kazakhstan, 10-0 COLOGNE, Germany (AP) – Matt Gilroy scored a hat trick and the United States ended its scoring struggles Saturday with a 10-0 victory over Kazakhstan in the relegation round at the ice hockey world championship. TJ Oshie, Kyle Okposo, Nick Foligno, Ryan Potulny, Brandon Dubinsky, Tim Kennedy and Chris Kreider also scored for the Americans, who had only tallied

four goals in three first-round games. Dubinksy also had four assists. St. Louis Blues forward Oshie opened the scoring just 55 seconds into the game and assisted on a goal 18 seconds later by New York Islanders’ forward Okposo. Gilroy, the Rangers rookie defenseman, added two goals by the 10:20 mark of the second and Scott Gordon’s team had the offensive boost it had been seeking.

“It was good to get some goals on that first shift. And the rest of the guys just kind of fed off it,” Oshie said. “We’re really not where we want to be. We wanted to play in the other bracket. But it’s nice to get a win.” The onslaught continued in the second period with Foligno, Potulny, Gilroy, Dubinsky and Kennedy finding the back of the net for a 9-0 lead.

Kreider finished off the scoring in the final minute. The Americans next play today against France. The U.S. is in the relegation round for the first time since 2003 and must finish in the top two of the four-team Group G. France beat Italy 2-1 in the other relegation game after goals by Baptiste Amar and Laurent Gras. Michele Strazzabosco scored for Italy.

Look, up in the sky, it’s... ... an unidentified falling object, and Doc Hazzard would like to know what it is and where it came from SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

Arthur “Doc” Hazzard holds mysterious “rock” that he found on the rooftop of a High Point business in the late 1960s. BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – Just call it a UFO – an unidentified falling object. For more than 40 years, Arthur “Doc” Hazzard has been the proud owner of – well, he’s not exactly sure what he found embedded in a downtown rooftop that day in the late 1960s, but the 85-year-old High Point man says he’d sure like to find out. “I’ve called all over the United States – observatories, space agencies, the Smithsonian, every place under the sun – and nobody will tell me nothing,” Hazzard says.

‘The reason I didn’t say anything about it back then, that was the time when people were talking about UFOs. ... I didn’t want people to think I was one of them idiots.’ Doc Hazzard “They say, ‘Send it to us,’ but I’m not doing that.” Why would Hazzard call observatories and space agencies? “Because it came from the sky,” he says. “It had to.” The mystery object is a grayish-green, translucent object, with no definitive shape, that appears to be some sort of hard glass or mineral. It’s about 10 inches wide, sits nearly 8 inches high and weighs roughly 30 pounds. It has a smooth, flat surface on one side, and what appears to be a groove on the other side; there’s also a deep crack on its interior, which Hazzard believes occurred when the object struck the roof.

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

Glass experts believe the object could be from a glass factory’s furnace. Hazzard, a retired roofer, found the object after being called to a commercial building on Wrenn Street where he had installed a roof in the early 1960s. Though it was only a few years old, the roof was leaking, so Hazzard had been summoned to repair it. He inspected inside the building – which has since been demolished – and saw where the metal decking of the roof was sagging a bit, allowing water to seep through. Then he took his ladders outside and climbed to the top of the twostory, flat-roof building, where he saw the mystery object embedded in the roof. Around the object was a shallow, circular crater – about 10 feet in diameter – that appeared to have been caused by the object when it hit the roof, according to Hazzard. “Man,” he said to himself, “what in the world is that?” Hazzard marveled at the impact

the object had caused. “My roof was maybe an inch thick, the insulation was probably an inch thick and the concrete was probably at least four inches thick,” he recalls. “And incidentally, the thing hit right over a floor joist or an I-beam, and if it hadn’t done that, it would’ve gone right through the concrete roof.” Hazzard repaired the roof and kept the mystery object for himself, without mentioning it to the building’s tenants – or anyone else, for that matter. “The reason I didn’t say anything about it back then, that was the time when people were talking about UFOs and flying saucers and aliens from outer space, and I didn’t want people to think I was one of them idiots,” Hazzard says. He does believe, though, that the object fell from the sky, most likely having broken off of a satellite or some other kind of space-

age technology. He says one NASA representative he spoke with agreed with that assessment. “He said, ‘The only reasonable explanation we can give you is that it’s probably part of a spy satellite made for taking pictures, and it crashed somewhere or busted, and this piece happened to fall there,’” Hazzard says. Researchers at the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, N.Y., examined a photo of the object at the Enterprise’s request and suggested it might be what’s known as cullet, which is a chunk of scrap glass removed from a glass factory’s glassmaking furnace. “It is definitely not a meteorite, nor a piece of a telescope lens,” says Gail Bardhan, reference and research librarian at the museum. So why cullet? “The external color and surface resemble the cullet that we have seen,” she says. “...But I won’t speculate as to why it was on a roof.” Hazzard contends, however, that the object is too hard to be glass – in fact, he says he can cut glass with the object, as if it were a diamond. He took it to a gemologist last year who identified the substance as corundum, a mineral that measures a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale (diamonds are a 10, glass a 6.5). “You cannot bust concrete with glass,” Hazzard says, referring to the damage the object caused to the roof. “And there’s no way in the world anybody could get up on that roof and pick that thing up and slam it down into concrete and it do what it did. It had to fall from the sky.” Hazzard says he’s so eager to know what the object is that he’ll pay $1,000 to the person who can definitively identify it. And if it happens to be worth anything, he’ll sell it and donate the money to charity. “I don’t need the money,” he says. “I just want to find out what it is.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Wife sinks man’s teeth into housecleaning D

ear Abby: The other day my wife of 45 years was cleaning our bathroom and I popped in to ask her a question. I saw her remove my denture brush from the cup and begin cleaning the cracks and crevices of the bathroom with it. When she realized I was watching her, she said, “Oops, busted! Oh, well, it’s not like you put it in your mouth.� She also admitted it wasn’t the first time. Do you think I should be concerned? – Brushed Off in Wisconsin Dear Brushed Off: You absolutely should be concerned. Although the denture brush doesn’t go into your mouth, it does have contact with the appliances that do. Your wife’s behavior could be a sign of ignorance or bad judgment, but it could also be a sign of senility. This should be reported to your doctor, who should explain to your wife how ill-advised this practice is – or give her a diagnosis.

Dear Abby: Two years ago, after much searching, I found the love of my life, “Laura,� and we were married. Most of our time together is harmonious; the remainder is volatile. ADVICE Laura is insanely jealous of practically evDear erything I do. The most Abby recent episode was over ■■■a junk e-mail she had seen in my inbox. She asked me about it as we were going to bed, and I told her I had no idea what it was. The next day she asked me to look for it. I did, but I couldn’t find it. Laura then accused me of hiding and deleting it. Well, I always delete the “spam� e-mail I receive. Laura had a horrible first marriage and was wronged in the divorce. She keeps telling me it isn’t the reason for her suspicions, but it’s hard to believe

This is a year to move forward. The time for talk is over, allowing you to put your undivided attention into actual accomplishment. Love will take you on a rollercoaster ride but your insight and intelligence will help you find what you are looking for. Your numbers are 2, 5, 13, 25, 27, 31, 42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Put a little pizzazz back into your life. Take on a physical challenge that will test your endurance and motivate you. Romance is highlighted but don’t neglect to spend quality time with the one you love or you may be faced with a disgruntled partner. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Someone from your past may want to inch back into your world but only to meddle and cause you grief. Prepare to say no and then put your focus on someone you truly want to be with. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may be faced with some emotional situations if you haven’t cleared up past relationships. Giving someone a false impression or offering to do more for someone than you are capable of doing will be a costly mistake. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may get backed into a corner but that doesn’t mean you should lie or keep secrets. Be upfront in order to end old conditions and start anew. A positive change is heading your way. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You have to find out information first hand so your plans are based on solid evidence. Taking anyone or anything for granted will result in criticism and a heated discussion. Listen to the voice of experience. ★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ve got a lot on your plate and must concentrate on what needs to be done. Expect someone who isn’t keen on your

recent choices to create an emotional conflict that slows you down. Put your creative imagination to work. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Schedule and organize your plans and time wisely. An error will leave you at a loss and may cause you some emotional problems with someone you care about. Don’t take anyone for granted or you will pay the price. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Let your creativity lead the way. A project could turn into a moneymaker. Positive changes at home will make your place more conducive to productivity. Don’t let someone’s disapproval slow you down. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The best way to accomplish your goals is to do it yourself. It’s always nice to get help but those closest to you will only slow you down. A lover will play with your emotions if you are neglectful. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Do things with family and focus on ways to help the ones you love accomplish their goals. Your insight, determination and strong family ties will ensure greater support and progress lies ahead. Love, money and security are in the stars. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Love is in the stars and emotional matters will rise to the top, giving you reason to make some interesting, life-altering moves. A creative plan can be put into play. A moneymaking project will bring in positive resources. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Look and listen before you make a promise that is unfair to you. Additional responsibilities may sound doable but, in the end, you will be faced with impossible tasks. Think matters through before you give your word. ★★ 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.

that doesn’t play a part. These arguments are horrible and are causing trouble in our marriage. I am open and honest with her, and I truly want to be with her for the rest of my life. But her doubts, fears and mistrust are driving me crazy. What do I do? – Under Constant Attack n Tempe, Ariz. Dear Under Attack: If you want your marriage to survive, tell Laura that although you love her, you will no longer tolerate her inability to trust you and the volatile scenes her insecurity has caused. Whatever is driving her paranoia, she needs to work it through with a licensed mental health professional. Because she may be resistant to the idea, start by insisting you both see a marriage counselor. That person can be an ally in guiding her into the counseling she seriously needs. I wish you luck, because I suspect her issues go back farther than her first marriage.

Dear Abby: With the push in stores to buy their reusable shopping bags, I was wondering what the rule is about bringing bags from different stores. Is it rude if I use bags I purchased from somewhere else? – Shopping Green in Bloomfield, N.M. Dear Shopping Green: Not at all. Stores are in the business of selling merchandise, and if they can bring in money and at the same time promote their brand by selling bags with their logo, that’s a double bang for their buck. But please don’t feel obligated to use store-brand shopping bags in every establishment you patronize – or you’ll wind up owning more than you can reasonably use. And that’s not budget-wise or “green� either. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.

Chronic arthritis likely cause of dog’s groaning D

ear Dr. Fox: Our 15-year-old male German shorthair has begun to show signs of age – arthritis, hypothyroidism, fatty tumors and subcutaneous cysts – all of which are being treated, except for the tumors. Recently, he has begun to emit a series of short, low-frequency sounds. These sounds usually last around 20 to 40 seconds. They routinely stop after defecation and are alleviated by rubbing the underside of the neck or ears. Our veterinarian says the dog is simply seeking attention, but I believe this is indicative of a more dangerous, severe condition. These bouts seem to increase as the weather gets colder. What do you think? – J.L.O., Springfield, Va. Dear J.L.O.: The groans of an old dog are not simply “seeking attention� sounds but rather the spontaneous vocalizations of an ani-

Do bone density readings reflect digestive trouble?

Disenchantment could lead to disrespect

Q

uestion: You have described the “trapped� feeling that causes some people to withdraw from their spouses. I think that applies to my wife, who has been strangely distant from me in recent years. Can you tell me more about what such a person might be thinking? Dr. Dobson: The feeling of entrapment begins with disrespect for a partner. For example, a man may think these kinds of thoughts about his wife: Look at Joan. She used to be rather pretty. Now with those fifteen extra pounds she doesn’t even attract me anymore. Her lack of discipline bothers me in other areas, too – the house is always in a mess and she seems totally disorganized. I made an enormous mistake back there in my youth when I decided to marry her. Now I have to spend the rest of my life – can you believe it? – all the years I have left – tied up with someone I’m disinterested in. Oh, I know Joanie is a good woman, and I wouldn’t hurt her for anything, but man! Is this what they call living? Or Joanie may be doing some thinking of her own: Michael, Michael, how different you are than I first thought you to be. You seemed so exciting and energetic in those early days. How did you get to be such a bore? You work far too much and are so tired when you come home. I can’t even get you to talk to me, much less sweep me into ecstasy. Look at him, sleeping on the couch with his mouth hanging open. I wish his hair wasn’t falling out. Am I really going to invest my entire lifetime in this aging man? Our friends don’t respect him anymore, and he hasn’t received a promotion at the plant for more than five years. He’s going nowhere, and he’s taking me with him! If Joanie and Michael are both thinking these entrapment thoughts, it is obvious that their future together is in serious jeopardy. But the typical situation is unilateral, as in your marriage. One partner (of either gender) begins to chafe at the bit without revealing to the other how his or her attitude has changed. A reasonably compassionate person simply does

not disclose these disturbing rumblings to someone who loves him or her. Instead, a FOCUS person’s behavior ON THE begins to FAMILY evolve in inexplicaDr. James ble ways. Dobson He may ■■■increase the frequency of his evening business meetings – anything to be away from home more often. He may become irritable or “deep in thought� or otherwise noncommunicative. He may retreat into televised sports or fishing trips or poker with the boys. He may provoke continuous fights over insignificant issues. And of course, he may move out or find someone younger to play with. A woman who feels trapped will reveal her disenchantment in similar indirect ways. To summarize, the trapped feeling is a consequence of two factors: Disrespect for the spouse and the wish for an excuse to get away. Question: When do children begin to develop a sexual nature? Does this occur suddenly during puberty? Dr. Dobson: No, it occurs long before puberty. Perhaps the most important concept suggested by Freud was his observation that children are not asexual. He stated that sexual gratification begins in the cradle and is first associated with feeding. Behavior during childhood is influenced considerably by sexual curiosity and interest, although the happy hormones do not take full charge until early adolescence. Thus, it is not uncommon for a fouryear-old to be interested in nudity and the sexual apparatus of the opposite sex. The elementary school years are an important time in the forming of sexual attitudes. Parents should be careful not to express shock and disgust over this kind of curiosity, even though they have to disapprove of exploratory behavior. It is believed that many sexual problems begin as a result of inappropriate training during early childhood.

ear Dr. Donohue: I am a 53-year-old male and have always been thin. I am 5 feet 10 inches tall and have weighed 120 pounds for the past 33 years. I lift weights one to three times a week. A year and a half ago, I had tests that suggested osteopenia, so I had a DXA (DEXA) scan. It showed osteopenia. Since then, I have been beefing up on vitamin D and calcium. On my recent DXA scan, my numbers went down. My doctor tells me that the osteoporosis numbers are “female based.� Why? Would my numbers (-1.4) put me in a normal range if there were a chart for men? Am I doing everything I can do? – S.L. The numbers you refer to are the numbers from the DXA scan, a scan that shows how robust the bones are. A score of -1 to -2.5 is osteopenia. It isn’t osteoporosis, but it’s only one rung away from osteoporosis, the score for which is below -2.5. These scores are based on women’s bones, but they apply to men as well. The World Health Organization, as well as the rest of the world, uses them for both genders. Men do get osteoporosis, especially at older ages, when testosterone production wanes. Some aspects of your story are troubling. One is your age. Men at age 53 usually do not have osteopenia or osteoporosis. The second troubling feature is the fact that with a year of supplemental calcium and vitamin D, your score decreased. And the third is your weight, even though you have weighed 120 pounds for 33 years. You are below normal weight for your height. You might not be absorbing calcium

and other nutrients. Celiac disease – one of the many conditions that affect mineral absorption – can present as osteoporosis without any HEALTH other osteoporosis signs or symptoms. Dr. Paul You ought to be Donohue checked for celiac ■■■disease, as well as other digestive problems. Furthermore, you need to explore other causes of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis in a male of your age could be due to a low production of testosterone, an overactive adrenal gland, a tumor of the parathyroid glands, an overproduction of thyroid hormone, prolonged use of cortisone drugs or excessive intake of alcohol. Those issues deserve investigation. Other than that, you’re doing all you can do. Dear Dr. Donohue: My wife, 79, has a problem with eye tearing, so much so that tears run down her face. She has been treated by a respected eye doctor and six other doctors. Her tear ducts have been opened. She has seen three allergists. No reason has been found for her tears. We hope you can help. – T.O. I’m going to disappoint you. I can’t add anything to what seven other doctors have done. The tear glands, located above the upper eyelids and off to the side, produce tears all day and night. One cause of watering eyes is a blocked tear duct. That possibility has been explored for your wife. A drooping lower eyelid is a cause of tears running down

Sands opens Singapore’s second casino-resort BY ALEX KENNEDY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

SINGAPORE – Singapore’s second casinoresort opened recently, a massive $5.7 billion project by Las Vegas Sands Corp. that aims to makeover the city-state as a Southeast Asian gambling and tourism magnet. After big cost overruns and months of delays, the casino, more than a third of 2,500 hotel rooms and parts of a shopping mall and convention center were opened. A 1.2-hectare (3-acre) SkyPark connecting the tops of three 55-story hotel towers should open on June 23 while a theater opens in October and a museum in December. The resort, known as the Marina Bay Sands,

remakes Singapore’s skyline, forming the far side of a marina facing the downtown area and what the government envisions will be a must-see tourist attraction. Officials also hope the casinos will revamp Singapore’s image as an efficient but sterile manufacturing and financial center that’s better known for strict laws including a ban on chewing gum and caning for minor offenses. “There’s no other casino this big right in the middle of a downtown,� said Aaron Fischer, an analyst with CLSA in Hong Kong. “It’s not comparable to anything.� The Marina Bay and Genting’s Resorts World Sentosa opened Singapore’s first casino in February.

the cheek. That’s an anatomical problem that can be surgically corrected. Dry eyes, as paradoxical as it might sound, lead to excessive tear production. The tear glands overcompensate, and the usual routes for getting rid of tears cannot drain them as they should. In this case, treatment of the dry eyes cures the tearing. Sjogren’s (SHOW-grins) syndrome is an example. It’s an immune attack on the tear and salivary glands, so it usually features dry eyes and dry mouth. Restasis eyedrops are helpful for that ailment. T.O., I appeal to doctor/readers to add their input. I’ll pass that information on to you. Dear Dr. Donohue: I read your treatment of eczema and must comment on my mother’s experience. In her 70s, she was tested for allergies and it was found that she was allergic to peanuts. She is now 98 and has had no more eczema since she stopped eating them. – J.B. That is interesting. Eczema also goes by the name “atopic dermatitis.� “Atopic� is applied to individuals who tend to have allergic reactions. Foods as a trigger for eczema are more prevalent in children. I don’t want all eczema sufferers to believe they have a food allergy. They don’t. Excessively dry skin is the usual setting for it. 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 328536475

Nations often make odd neighbors at expo BY ELAINE KURTENBACH ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

S

HANGHAI – It’s a small but odd world at Shanghai’s World Expo, where nuclear problem states North Korea and Iran are next-door neighbors, and visitors can check out such novelties as translucent cement and a curtain made of solarcell soybean fiber. The Expo has been drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors since its May 1 opening, and hours-long lines jam around the most popular pavilions, especially the Japanese, Italian, French and Australian exhibits. While the majestic red China pavilion can been seen only with a “fast pass” reservation system that sells out after just minutes each day, visitors can just waltz right into the nearly deserted North Korean pavilion, which is tucked behind Iran’s in the northeast corner of the two-square-mile Expo grounds. The Expo’s theme of “Better City, Better Life” allows for a vast range of interpretations by the 189 countries and 57 international organizations participating. South Korea’s pavilion is shaped in characters from its “hangul” alphabet, with some walls covered with colorful tiles embossed with smaller characters. It features the country’s most advanced technology and traditional culture. North Korea, participating in a world’s fair for the first time ever, has a much more spartan exhibit, like the impoverished country itself. Its pavilion features film clips of life under its “Dear Leader” Kim Jong Il – shots of families bowling and visiting parks – and models of the capital Pyongyang’s “Juche Tower” and the Taedong River – a winding stream of shiny clear plastic over wrinkled blue sheeting. A fountain, a few video screens and a counter selling books and other North Korean paraphernalia sum up the rest. Though both North Korea and Iran remain nuclear trouble spots, they no longer are deemed part of the “axis of evil,” as thenPresident George W. Bush dubbed those two countries and Iraq in 2002, when it was still ruled by the late Saddam Hussein. With so many cultures gathered in one area, surprises are inevitable. One recent day, the music blaring from the Qatar pavilion – which is clustered with other

KY 31 Fescue . 50 l b $

Muslim countries Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates and Oman around the Israeli exhibit – was an instrumental version of “Sunrise, Sunset,” a song sung at a Jewish wedding in the film “Fiddler on the Roof.” In a joint pavilion nearby that also houses exhibits from Afghanistan and Brunei, Palestine is displaying an abundance of creches, handcarved crucifixes and other handicrafts for sale. The locations of the largest pavilions seem strategically thought out in some cases and puzzling in others. The eagle-shaped USA Pavilion and Russia’s gilden sun-shaped structure anchor one end of the sprawling Expo grounds, Japan’s lavender silkworm dome the other. Of course, China, the erstwhile Middle Kingdom, stands at the center. India’s pavilion sits beside Nepal’s but well away from Pakistan’s. Argentina’s is adjacent to others from the Americas, but its closest neighbors are Slovenia, South Africa and Tunis. One joint pavilion, provided by host China to other developing countries, groups such odd bedfellows as Mongolia, the Maldives, Tajikistan and East Timor – all in Asia, but otherwise about as unalike as countries could be. Given the Expo’s theme of sustainability, many pavilions use recyclable and ultrahigh tech materials, like the solar cell soybean fiber netting around the Swiss pavilion, which is said to be biodegradable. Italy’s pavilion uses a type of translucent cement that by allowing light to shine through walls can help save on energy, while Britain’s has a six-story “Seed Cathedral” formed by 60,000 see-through fiber optic rods. Across the river are corporate pavilions sponsored by big companies like Coca Cola, Cisco Systems and General Motors. In keeping with the Japanese philosophy that “customer is king,” the joint Japan Industry pavilion is drawing attention with its “throne room,” said to be the best toilet at the Expo. But only a few lucky visitors will win the lottery that gives them a chance to experience in that deluxe “comfort zone.” Reservations are already full, meanwhile, for the next two months for the pavilion’s special “kaiseki” restaurant, where meals cost a mean 3,000 yuan ($440) – or about what it costs to fly to Japan.

Thin paper trail Court nominee doesn’t have extensive record BY MARK SHERMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

WASHINGTON — Elena Kagan’s opposition to the Pentagon’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on gay troops is a rare insight into her personal views. Kagan’s public record, thinner than most earlier Supreme Court nominees, otherwise offers supporters and critics little assurance about how she would vote as a justice. President Barack Obama nominated Kagan on Monday to replace Jus-

Kagan is expected to vote the same way as Stevens, the leader of the court’s liberals, on most issues. But the assessment of her anticipated votes is based more on her affiliation with two Democratic administrations than on her record. With the exception of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” which she condemned as

a discriminatory “moral outrage,” Kagan has more often been circumspect and cautious about injecting her own views into her public words. She worked in the Clinton White House and the Obama Justice Department, putting forward or defending the administration position. At Harvard Law School, she saw her role as dean as inclusive and generally avoided polemics. Writing about Kagan’s view of the First Amendment, UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh wrote on his blog, The Volokh Conspiracy, that it’s “hard to predict” from her writings how Kagan would decide cases as a Supreme Court justice. Volokh praised Kagan’s scholarship, saying her articles “go behind glib generalizations and formalistic distinctions.” But they are poor predictors because they “are often more analytical...than prescriptive,” Volokh said in a blog post. In general, her writings and comments over the years provide a little something for everyone. On presidential power, Kagan has written both in support of the robust use of power and probing judicial review of executive action. Kagan was the dean at Harvard Law School in 2005 when she and three other law school deans signed a letter opposing a bill that would have prevented civilian courts from reviewing cases of people detained without charge at the naval brig at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The measure was proposed by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. “To put this most pointedly were the Graham Amendment to become

On Monday, President Barack Obama nominated Kagan to the Supreme Court, declaring she would demonstrate the same independence, integrity and passion for the law exhibited by retiring Justice John Paul Stevens. law, a person suspected of being a member of Al Qaida could be arrested, transferred to Guantanamo, detained indefinitely...subjected to inhumane treatment, tried before a military commission and sentenced to death without any express authorization from Congress and without review by any independent federal court,” they wrote. They urged lawmakers to avoid endorsing the most aggressive legal tactics in the Bush administration’s fight against terrorism. “We cannot imagine a

more inappropriate moment to remove scrutiny of Executive Branch treatment of noncitizen detainees. We are all aware of serious and disturbing reports of secret overseas prisons, extraordinary renditions, and the abuse of prisoners in Guantanamo, Iraq and Afghanistan,” Kagan and the others said. Four years later, after Obama nominated her to be solicitor general, Graham asked Kagan her views on detaining terror suspects. She said terror suspects could be held without

trial. “If our intelligence agencies should capture someone in the Philippines that is suspected of financing al-Qaida worldwide, would you consider that person part of the battlefield?” Graham asked. “Do you agree with that?” “I do,” Kagan said. Graham also asked Kagan if she agreed with this proposition: Under the law of war, the government can say, “If you’re part of the enemy force, there is no requirement to let them go back to the war and kill our troops.” “I think it makes sense, and I think you’re correct that that is the law,” Kagan said. Abortion rights groups and abortion opponents both assume Kagan to be in favor of a woman’s right to an abortion, though how strongly is less clear. In a law review article in 1992, Kagan assessed a Supreme Court ruling that upheld a rule prohibiting recipients of federal funds from counseling women to have an abortion. “The regulations at issue can hardly be understood except as stemming from government hostility towards some ideas (and their consequences) and government approval of others,” Kagan wrote. She was then a law professor at the University of Chicago. Five years later, while serving as a White House aide, she recommended that President Bill Clinton support a ban on most late-term abortions, a political compromise that put the administration at odds with abortion rights groups. The compromise eventually failed and Clinton vetoed a stricter bill.

From President Barack Obama’s Top 10 list, one nominee emerged — Elena Kagan. White House aides were already vetting more than two dozen candidates when the soonto-be 90-yearold Justice John Paul Stevens announced his retirement last month. With an opening on the high court official, senior staff quickly narrowed that pool to 10, sending the president stacks of material to review on each, including academic writings, legal briefs and speeches. The top 10 included Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm and federal court judges Merrick Garland and Sidney Thomas. Also under consideration were two women who had impressed Obama a year before as he contemplated his first Supreme Court nominee — Kagan and Diane Wood, a federal judge from Chicago. Obama regarded both women highly, having known them for several years. Though they were among Obama’s finalists for the court the first time around, he ultimately nominated Sonia Sotomayor, the court’s first Hispanic justice.

AP

A boat motors out of the harbor in Valdez, Alaska, past docks with commercial fishing boats mixed in with personal boats. A reader-submitted question about the spelling and pronunciation of Valdez, Alaska, is being answered as part of an Associated Press Q&A column called “Ask AP.”

Inquiries concern emergency vehicles, Alaska bay’s name THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Why is Alaska’s Bay of Valdez pronounced more like the Bay of ValDEEZ? That’s one of the questions in this edition of “Ask AP,” a weekly Q&A column where AP journalists respond to readers’ questions about the news. If you have your own news-related question that you’d like to see answered by an AP reporter or editor, send it to newsquestions@ap.org, with “Ask AP” in the subject line. And please include your full name and hometown so they can be published with your question. You can also tweet your questions to AP, using the AskAP hashtag. Ask AP can also be found on AP Mobile, a multimedia news service available on Internetenabled cell phones. Go to http://www.apnews. com/ to learn more. Q. The recent AP article on the WTC steel returning to Coatesville, Pa., reminded me of the somber video showing row upon row of emergency vehicles that were destroyed in the 9/11 attack. What became of these vehicles? Bill Yagerlener West Bloomfield, Mich. A. At least 95 emergency vehicles were destroyed in the Sept. 11 terror attacks, including ambulances, fire engines and ladder trucks. Some doors and other parts of the wrecked vehicles were given to museums and others were given to investigators. Most others were turned into scrap metal. There are about 20 Fire Department and Port Author-

ity of New York and New Jersey vehicles that are sitting in a storage room at a Kennedy Airport hangar, along with other World Trade Center artifacts. Some will eventually be moved to the Sept. 11 memorial museum, including a fire truck partially crushed by the collapse of the north tower. Amy Westfeldt and Colleen Long Associated Press Writers, New York Q. If the Spanish, in 1790, named the “Bay of Valdez” after Admiral Antonio Valdes – head of the Spanish Marines and Minister of the Indies at the time – why is it pronounced “Val-deez” instead of “Val-dez”? Saul Garza Dallas A. You can likely blame the Spanish-American War for today’s spelling and pronunciation of Valdez (val’-DEEZ), Alaska. The picturesque community is located in Prince William Sound, not far from where the Exxon Valdez oil tanker ran aground and spilled nearly 11 million gallons of oil in 1989. According to the Valdez Museum and Historical Archive, Salvador Fidalgo, a Spanish cartographer, was sent to Alaska in 1790 to re-establish Spanish claim to the area. In honor of Admiral Antonio Valdes, the Minister of the Indies and

head of the Spanish Marines, he named the area “Bay of Valdes.” The small town boomed in the winter of 1897-98 as gold-seekers inundated the community to follow the “All-American Route” over the Valdez Glacier to prospects in interior Alaska. But that was also the time of the SpanishAmerican War. Rick Dunkin, the public programs manager for the Valdez Museum, says that’s when it is speculated changes were made to the town’s name out of deference to the Americans. Mark Thiessen AP News Editor Anchorage, Alaska Q. The widespread publication of the Times Square car bomb suspect’s photo, lifted from social media sites, got me wondering: Even if I have maximum privacy settings on a social network, is my profile picture public domain at all times? If I do something that’s newsworthy, does the media have the right to publish that photo? Ron Hanson Indianapolis A. Many social networks, including Facebook, show your profile photo to the public no matter what your privacy settings are, so the safest bet is not to post a photo of yourself if you don’t want it published anywhere. News outlets routinely lift photos and other information from social networks when someone is in the news, because they can give valuable insight into their lives.

Nurse charged for fake prescriptions BY ELY PORTILLO MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS SERVICE

CHARLOTTE – A Mooresville nurse has been charged with hacking into an electronic prescription system and fraudulently obtaining about 3,400 hydrocodone tablets, authorities said Monday. Kara Lee Roland, a 35year-old licensed practical nurse, was arrested Friday by the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office.

She worked for OrthoCarolina, a major orthopedic care provider based in Charlotte. Investigators said Roland started accessing an electronic prescription system and creating fake prescriptions about a year and a half ago. She made at least 61 prescriptions in her friends’ and family members’ names for hydrocodone, a narcotic. She then had them filled at a Mooresville pharmacy and picked them up her-

self, investigators said. Roland got at least 3,400 pills that way, according to the sheriff’s office. When deputies searched her house, they said they found prescription bottles and receipts related to the alleged scheme. Officials at OrthoCarolina said they learned of Roland’s activities in early February and fired her the following day. They said they also reported her to state agencies and local law enforcement.

Alcoa questioned on land deal BY JIM LISK MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE REGIONAL NEWS SERVICE

ALBEMARLE – Sen. Stan Bingham, R-Davidson, and Yadkin Riverkeeper Dean Naujoks have asked the state to investigate the possibly illegal lobbying on behalf of Alcoa in the over the Yadkin Hydroelectric Project.

In a letter to N.C. Secretary of State Elaine Marshall, Bingham and Naujoks question the conveyance of 2.5 acres of waterfront property to Larry Jones last year by Alcoa. They also say that their investigation of Rowan County tax records show that no taxes were paid when the property was conveyed to Jones. Bingham and Naujoks

contend that before the land conveyance, Jones met state senators and representatives in their offices to defend Alcoa. They have also asked the state to investigate whether Jones failed to file a registration statement and a quarterly expense report as required of lobbyists. They also say that prior to 2007, Jones was a

staunch critic of Alcoa, then abruptly switched his allegiance in 2007. Alcoa spokesperson Joyce Fitzpatrick responded: “Alcoa has not received a copy of the letter so it is difficult to address what is claimed. However, Alcoa has complied fully with all registration and reporting requirements under the NC lobbying laws.”

New Palin book, ‘America By Heart,’ due out Nov. 23

AP

Japan’s Shigeru Ban (left) and France’s Jean de Gastines, co-architects of the Pompidou Center in Metz, eastern France, pose in the new architectural wonder that looks like a floppy hat or a swimming manta ray.

At new French museum, the building steals the show M

ETZ, France – It’s France’s newest architectural wonder, and it looks something like an enormous white floppy sun hat. Or a giant swimming manta ray, or maybe an alien spacecraft. The new Pompidou Center art museum in the eastern French city of Metz, which opened to the public last week, has generated a big buzz in the architecture world, largely for its complex freeform roof. The building is all the more

surreal for its setting amid the stern gray clocktowers and church steeples of Metz, chosen for its strategic location near Germany, Luxembourg and Belgium. Reporters got a preview before the opening of the new museum, an outpost of Paris’ Pompidou Center for modern and contemporary art – whose offbeat design caused a ruckus when it opened more than 30 years ago. Even many of those who find the exterior absurd will appreciate the galleries and how they interact with the art. On the ground floor,

a hanging mirror reflects a maze of small, roofless rooms, giving art-gazers a contorted, ever-shifting view of the floor plan and art in other rooms. The Pompidou Center is the first Paris museum to embark on what authorities call “cultural decentralization� – setting up art centers in unlikely areas outside the capital, with its hordes of masterpiece-worshipping tourists and savvy locals. The Louvre is also set to open a branch in the northern former mining town of Lens in 2012.

Number of creative options for advertisers choosing to utilize the newspaper. From belly bands, polybags, post-it notes, scented ads, taste-it ads, glow-in-the-dark and temporary tattoos, as well as event and database marketing, behavioral targeting, e-mail blasts, e-newsletters and more.

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

This is not a portrait of a dying industry. It’s illustrative of transformation. Newspapers are reinventing themselves to focus on serving distinct audiences with a variety of products, and delivering those audiences effectively to advertisers across media channels.
