HIGH POINT – A revitalization effort in a key core city area is getting a boost thanks to an investment by a Triad foundation. The Hayden-Harman Foundation of Burlington bought a former barber shop and restaurant at 613 Washington Drive and is financing the rehabilitation of the building. It’s the first such investment by the private sector in the Washington Drive portion of the Core City Plan, officials said. The building will serve as the office for The City Project and local headquarters for the foundation. “We basically have a master plan for Washington Drive, so we’ve got the foundation in place. We just need people to start investing,” said Wendy Fuscoe, City Project executive director. “I believe Patrick

Washington Drive revitalization effort attracts first investor BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

Harman, in buying this building and the City Project moving there, is the first step in what I hope will be a public-private partnership.” Harman, the foundation’s executive director, said plans call for the building to have space for four offices and a display area, possibly to host an art gallery, in the front. The project, which he estimated involves an investment of about $120,000, could be finished by fall. “We sort of have an interest in all the historical things that happened in that area, and we’re trying to help the community at the same time,” he said. Fuscoe said the city has taken several measures to try to spark revitalization in the area. For instance, city engineers have completed designs for “shovelready” streetscape projects, such as burying utility lines, along the corridor, and planners are working to

get part of the corridor designated as a historic district, which would enable developers who wanted to rehabilitate properties like the old Kilby Hotel or the Ritz Theater to obtain tax credits. In addition, police have undertaken an initiative to shut down drug houses that has curbed crime in the neighborhood. “The city has done everything the public sector can do to this point. The city has taken the first step,” Fuscoe said. “I feel really good about where we are in the Washington Drive plan. I feel like we’re moving in the right direction.” SHARE of North Carolina Inc., which has been involved in revitalization projects in Macedonia, West End, and the East Central neighborhood, is the general contractor on the renovation.

Andrea Harvey (left to right), Virginia Tunstall, Robert Heraldez and Lindsay Jones will see the designs they drew up be implemented in a new “green” solar house.

GTCC students will see their eco-friendly designs in new house ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT HIGH POINT – As they graduated from Guilford Technical Community College last week, two architecture students left behind designs for a “green” solar house project. Andrea Harvey and Lindsay Jones, both of High Point, left other jobs to become co-presidents of the GTCC Architectural Club and co-designers of the project house with a third student. GTCC will seek “green” certification for the house, which will have solar elements, eco-friendly materials and rainwater harvesting. Jones obtained a GTCC degree in graphic design in 2004 and worked in creating and coordinating advertising for Custom Air. “After a short while, I knew this wasn’t what I wanted to do for the rest of my life,” she said. “I decided to go back to school to study architecture. My mom always told me I should be an architect.” Harvey moved to the Triad in 2002 from Toronto to marry and work in a variety of jobs in what she called the “suffering” furniture industry. She studied architectural technology.

THE HOUSE

–

Address: 502 Old Treybrooke Drive, Greensboro. Financing: Duke Energy provided $168,776 for construction, landscaping and developing a curriculum for solar photovoltaic installation, training faculty and for other parts of the project. Construction: Students in the GTCC construction technologies program started work on the 1,800-square-foot house in April. Completion: This fall, with a public open house hosted by the students and instructors. Sale: Profits will go to GHG Construction Corp., a nonprofit company that supervises GTCC construction projects. “I wanted to obtain an American-based education, which will likely help further my professional goals, and perhaps intrigue me in areas as yet undiscovered,” she said.

Working with Jones has “afforded the ‘real life’ process of working as a team to create a design which satisfies the mandates set before us,” she said. For Jones, participating in the house design was a big part of her education. “This isn’t going away,” she said about eco-friendly designs and architecture. “We as students need to be learning sustainability to prepare us for the future job situation.” The final house plan was a merger. Student Robert Heraldez of Greensboro helped associate professor Virginia Tunstall with the construction drawings. Tunstall, a registered architect and teacher, praised the work of the three students. “The decision was made to merge Lindsay’s floor plans with Andrea’s exterior design,” Tunstall said. “The result was fabulous.” Heraldez will graduate after completing studies for the fall semester. “The project gave me an opportunity to see a real project take place. There were constant changes and deadlines to meet,” he said.

Highways renamed to honor Marines, sailors MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

U.S. 17 from Holly Ridge to Edenton and U.S. 70 from New Bern to Havelock has been renamed the U.S. Marine Corps Highway.

Jury selection begins today in the first-degree murder trial of a 23-yearold man accused of beating his 30-year-old former girlfriend to death. Desmond Johnson Jr. faces the death penalty if convicted in the Aug. 24, 2008 murder case. April Renee Torres of Havelock was found suffering from head injuries when Havelock police arrived at 1402 Scotch Pine Court around 6:30 p.m. Police went to the residence after a break-in was reported. Torres was airlifted to Pitt County Memorial Hospital where she later died. District Attorney Scott Thomas said at the time that the woman appeared strangled as well as beaten. Havelock police said that Johnson and Torres were formerly boyfriend and girlfriend. Police reported at the time that Johnson followed Torres and another man to the home at

1402 Scotch Pine Court. Havelock Police Chief Wayne Cyrus said Torres was apparently beaten with bare hands and left injured on the garage floor. As police interviewed witnesses at the murder scene, officers found out that Johnson was at an apartment on Shipman Road. As police approached, Johnson fled through a back window. Cyrus said Johnson scaled a fence surrounding the Havelock High football stadium. Two officers chasing him took him into custody. He has been in the Craven County Jail without bail since the killing. Thomas and assistant district attorney Ann Kirby are prosecuting the case. Defense lawyer Jack Wormack with the indigent defense services, paid by taxpayers, is representing Johnson. Superior Court Judge W. Allen Cobb Jr. of Wilmington is presiding. Thomas expects the trial to last a week.

Writing tests don’t escape SC budget ax COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – South Carolina public school students will not take standardized writing tests in four grades next year as lawmakers try to cut costs and keep potential teacher layoffs to a minimum. The move is irking few legislators and few educators, who say keeping teachers in classrooms is the highest priority for scant budget money. But the decision to cut back on standardized testing offers some insight into the debate about the best use of school time and resources. “Students get burned out, AP and teachers are so driven Carol Sample, a math teacher at Pontiac Elementary School, by the tests, they sometimes coaches a group of children on math as part of the prepara- forget about the child,� said Anita Looper Richardson, tions for the Pass Test Tuesday in Columbia, S.C.

Since 1998, South Carolina has relied on an increasing number of tests to judge the performance of public schools and districts. But in the midst of a budget crisis that threatens thousands of teachers’ jobs statewide, politicians and educators alike said some of the tests that were not federally mandated should go. The House version of the budget limited science testing to two primary grades, canceled social studies tests, and – at the high school

The $1.6 million saved on writing tests is minuscule compared to the $500 million hole dug in education funding over the past two years, even after factoring in federal stimulus money.

So now they’re going to blame Bush for spill Well here we go again. These far left loons and “yellow dog” Democrats just can’t leave poor old George W. Bush alone. I knew sooner or later someone would come along and blame the oil leak on poor old George, but it came sooner than I expected. A few people are even still saying the 2000 and 2004 elections were fraudulent. But if you wish to really know about a fraudulent election, all you have to do is look back to 2008 with Acorn and other subversive organizations out signing up people in the streets, bars, back alleys-etc. There’s no way anyone could check the validly of these voters, and no one tried. One young man said on national TV that he signed up 73 times, but no major network or newspaper bothered to check this out. If this sounds like sour grapes and/or a Republican sounding off, that’s far from the truth. When our family goes to the poles to vote, we have decided on which person we think will do the best job for our country regardless of his/her party affiliation. I wish everyone voted this way.

Assistance after tornado was greatly appreciated My family and I would like to personally thank all who helped with relief and cleanup after the tornado March 28 that destroyed our daughter’s home on Old Mill Road. We have a wonderful city to live in and that was all reinforced when we saw how quickly city crews responded and people came out to help. Duke Energy had our power back on in four days. City of High Point workers began to immediately help with tree and debris removal. City police patrolled our neighborhood to keep us safe while we were without power and until we could remove our belongings from our home. Volunteers from the community and our church family, Shady Grove Wesleyan Church in Colfax, worked tirelessly to clean and remove what was once our daughter’s house.

beautiful is that she is an amalgamation of all genera, and our Constitution fits us all and serves us all equally. When execution of the laws under her become obstructed under the character of exercising new interpretations according to one’s life experiences or bringing freshness to an outdated document, this will lead to injecting prejudices and discriminations whereby no one genus in this beautiful amalgamation will be free from the possibility of discrimination. Such actions will be destructive of the “fundamental maxims of true liberty.” They will eventually lead to a fatal outcome for liberty and democracy. It will serve only to bring “artificial and extraordinary force in place of the delegated will of the nation.” As John Adams once said: “A constitutional government once changed from freedom can never be restored. Once Liberty is lost, is lost forever.” This being said, I am in disfavor of any person running for office (Republican as well as Democrat) who refuses to live up to his “oath of office” and refuses to swear that he/she is there to serve the people who elected them to office. They should refuse to serve party agendas. They should not serve the president’s agenda or be bound to serve the agenda of the speaker of the House or the leadership of the Senate. If the people do not come first, then we have no use for them in office. This should be the standard for all echelons of government – city, state as well as federal. By now, the people have seen what servitude to a party agenda and individual agendas of leadership has gotten us. Our grandchildren, great grandchildren as well as our great, great grandchildren will be paying for it. HORACE D. STEADMAN lives in High Point.

OUR MISSION

My history is also a part of our history

H

istory is not a Hallmark card. Sometimes, history breaks your heart. I know this because I have often recounted history in this space, tales of black men and women bought and sold, cheated and mistreated, maimed and lynched. And whenever I do this, I can be assured of e-mails and calls of chastisement. I still remember one of the first, an earnest lady who pleaded with me to leave this history behind. Telling such tales, she said, could not help but make black people resent white ones. Her complaint presented a quandary. I find the same value in recounting those stories that my former boss Bert used to find in remembering Holocaust brutalities and my friend John finds in recalling Irish suffering at British hands. Understanding the past provides context to understand the present and predict the future. Moreover, history is identity. These stories tell me who I am. But there’s a difference, isn’t there? Bert’s history indicts Germans in Europe, John’s indicts Britons in the United Kingdom. Mine indicts white people, here.

So I’m not without sympathy for people like that lady. This history hurts. But is requiring me not to speak it really the best response to that hurt? OPINION Should a hard truth not be uttered for Leonard fear it might cause Pitts somebody, some■■■ where to resent? Her answer, I suspect, would be yes. In that, she would be much like the state of Arizona, where Gov. Jan Brewer just signed a law restricting ethnic studies courses in public schools. Having apparently decided she had not done enough to peeve Latino voters by signing a Draconian immigration bill a few days back, the governor went after a Mexican-American studies program in Tucson. But the prohibitions in the new law seem to say more about the mind-set of the governor than about any real danger posed by ethnic studies. Specifically, the law bans classes that “promote the overthrow of the United States government,

promote resentment toward a race or class of people, are designed primarily for pupils of a particular ethnic group, advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals.” And you wonder: What sort of ethnic studies classes did she attend? Is that really what people think those classes are about? Worse, the restrictions are so broad, so void of legal precision, as to be meaningless. How does one decide to a legal certainty whether a class is “designed primarily for pupils of a particular ethnic group?” How can one know with legal exactness whether a class will “promote resentment”? Like the lady who called me, the governor seems to prefer that hard stories not be told, that doing so detracts from American unity. As one online observer put it, “We need to focus on America instead of promoting everyone else.” The problem with that reasoning is obvious: America is everyone else, a nation composed of other nations, a culture made of other cultures, a history built of other histories. And yes, some-

times, those histories will be hard to hear. But silence does not make a hard story go away. Silence only makes it fester, grow and, sometimes, explode. It is in our narratives that we explain ourselves to ourselves. That’s a crucial matter in a nation that is, after all, bound not by common blood or ancestry, but by common fealty to a set of revolutionary ideals that begins, “We hold these truths to be selfevident ...” To those ideals have flocked men and women from every other nation on earth, each with stories of their own. Granted, the challenge of incorporating those stories into the larger American story is daunting. The governor seems to fear what kind of nation we’ll be if we accept that challenge. I fear what kind we’ll be if we don’t. LEONARD PITTS JR., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald. E-mail him at lpitts@miamiherald.com.

Iraq recount affirms Sunni-bloc win

Ash cloud closes some UK airports LONDON (AP) – Airports in northern England, Scotland, Ireland and Northern Ireland were forced to close Sunday afternoon due to a dense cloud of volcanic ash drifting over from Iceland. The shutdowns affected all airports in Northern Ireland, along with others in northern England – including the key cities of Manchester and Liverpool – as well as Prestwick in Scotland and other Scottish airports, Britain’s National Air Traffic Service said. Aviation authorities expected London’s airports – including Heathrow, Europe’s busiest – to remain open until at least 1 a.m. today (0000 GMT; 7 p.m. EDT Sunday). But airports in Birmingham, about 110 miles northwest of London, and Norwich, on England’s east cost, were to close early Sunday evening. In Ireland, Dublin’s international airport was closing early Sunday evening until at least 12 p.m. today (7 a.m. EDT).

Suicide bomber strikes Afghan border police KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) – A suicide bomber detonated his cache of explosives late Sunday near the gate of an Afghan Border Police residence in Kandahar where insurgents are waging a campaign of targeted killings. Kandahar Police Chief Sher Mohammed Zazai said at least three people were wounded in the attack in the northeast part of Kandahar city. “There was a suicide attacker on a motorbike who blew himself up when he got near the gate,� Zazai said. Zelmai Ayubi, spokesman for the provincial governor of Kandahar, said at least four bor-

He said two other suicide attackers entered the police compound, but were shot dead by police during a gunbattle before they could detonate their vests of explosives. NATO is pouring troops into southern Afghanistan as part of a steppedup security operation in Kandahar. Earlier on Sunday, two militants on a motorbike opened fire on a car belonging to a National Security Directorate official who was on his way to work, Zazai said. The intelligence official’s driver was killed. Separately, a U.S. ser-

Pakistani military kills 58 suspected militants PARACHINAR, Pakistan (AP) – The military killed 58 suspected militants in northwestern Pakistan on Sunday with a mix of airstrikes and ground combat, the latest violence in a monthslong campaign to rout Taliban fighters from a mountainous area near the Afghan border. The Pakistani military launched the ongoing offensive in the Orakzai tribal region in mid-March to flush out militants who last year fled an army offensive in nearby South Waziristan. Persistent artillery and aircraft attacks have killed hundreds of insurgents over the past two months, the military says. Fighter jets and helicopter gunships attacked militant sanctuaries Sunday in the villages of Dabori, Gojar and Kamer Mela in Orakzai, killing 40 suspected insurgents, said Samiullah Khan, a senior government administrator in Orakzai. Later, troops attacked militant hide-outs in Koul village, triggering clashes that killed 18 suspected insurgents, said Jehanzeb Khan, a local administrator.

Engineers remotely guiding robot submersibles had worked since Friday to place the tube into a 21-inch pipe nearly a mile below the sea. Kent Wells, BP’s senior vice president for exploration and production, said during a news conference that the amount being drawn was gradually increasing, and it would take several days to measure it. Company spokesman Mark Proegler had initially said the tube was containing most of the oil coming from the pipe, which is contributing an estimated 85 percent of the crude in the spill.

HAMMOND, La. (AP) – In a significant step toward containing a massive Gulf of Mexico oil leak, BP said a mile-long tube was funneling crude Sunday from a blown well to a tanker ship after three days of wrestling to get the stopgap measure into place on the seafloor. Yet even as the company reported the success after weeks of fruitless efforts, scientists warned oil that has already spewed into the Gulf could have dire consequences for the environment. Computer models show the black ooze may have already entered a major current flowing toward the Florida Keys, a researcher told the Associated Press Sunday. The contraption used by BP was

25-year-old drowns at High Rock

Trinity budget calls for higher sewer rate

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A man drowned Saturday morning while swimming in High Rock Lake, according to the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office. A 911 emergency call was placed at 10:51 a.m. about a possible drowning after a 25-year-old man who was swimming in the Pebble Beach area of High Rock Lake went under the water and didn’t resurface. Deputies, the Healing Springs Fire Department’s Water Rescue and Davidson County EMS arrived at the scene minutes later and began a search for the man. His body was recovered around 12:30 p.m., the sheriff’s office said. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The man’s name is being withheld until all family has been contacted. The man, who was a resident of China Grove, was swimming with his two children at the time, WXII reported. The children are OK. The sheriff’s office also said alcohol didn’t appear to be a factor in the drowning.

TRINITY – The 2010-11 proposed fiscal-year budget for the city of Trinity recommends an increase in sewer rates, but the city’s property tax rate is recommended to remain the same, according to City Manager Ann Bailie. Bailie will present the City Council with its proposed $4.4 million budget on Tuesday night. Sewer rates are proposed to increase by 2.5 percent because Archdale and Thomasville are raising their rates, Bailie said, adding that both of those cities treat Trinity’s wastewater. If the sewer rate hike is approved by the City Council, the average monthly sewer bill would increase by 84 cents from $33 to $33.84 per month. Bailie said the sewer rate hike is necessary to keep pace with treatment costs and increased maintenance

costs as sewer extensions are constructed. Under the proposed budget, Trinity’s current property tax rate will remain at 10 cents per $100 valuation. Trinity has the lowest prop-

If the increase is approved by the City Council, the average monthly sewer bill would increase by 84 cents from $33 to $33.84 per month. erty tax rate in Randolph County, according to Bailie. Bailie would not comment on whether the proposed budget included a salary increase for employees.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

According to the city manager, funding for most of the city’s outside agencies has already been approved by the City Council and in some cases has increased over the current year. A total of $25,000 is proposed for miscellaneous economic development activities. The same amounted was budgeted for the 2009-10 fiscal year. The budget is proposed to be about $900,000 more than last year’s financial plan. The larger budget is partly due to increases in Powell Bill and sewer billing revenues as the Phase 3 sewer project is coming online. The budget also is more than last year’s because it includes a one-time fund balance appropriation of $450,000 for a local match if the city receives a grant from the N.C. Parks and Recreation Trust Fund. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

College-bound couple gives long-distance a try D

ear Abby: I am an 18-year-old high school senior who will be leaving for college soon. My boyfriend, also a senior, will be leaving, too. We have been going out for the past two years and trust each other completely. We attended different schools, so we are both fairly adapted to a “long- distance relationship.� The problem is I will be going to college in Florida while he will be staying in Michigan. Neither of us wants to break up, but we understand the enormous changes that will be taking place soon. I don’t want to force any unnecessary stress upon him, and I know he feels the same. What are the chances of a longdistance relationship like this working out? Do you have any tips for maintaining it? – Collegebound

Dear College-bound: You are right that significant changes will take place after you and your boyfriend leave for college. You will both grow in different directions, which is a good thing and is to be expected. It will either enrich your relationship or end it. But if you have a strong friendship, are honest with each other and aren’t afraid of letting each other enjoy some freedom, your chances are stronger of having a relationship that is long-lasting. It may seem counterintuitive, but it’s true.

Dear Abby: In the past your column has been supportive of OvereatADVICE ers Anonymous, a Dear 12-step proAbby gram for ■■■those suffering from compulsive eating. This year is the 50th birthday of OA. We want to remind people that they are not alone. I have been a grateful recovery member of OA for eight years. Food is no longer my reason for living. I have been transformed by the program, both externally and internally. I want people to know there is help. Just as all heavy drinkers are not necessarily alcoholics, neither are all overeaters food addicts. But for those who are – and there are thousands – OA is the answer. – Janet in Tucson Dear Janet: My warmest congratulations to you, your fellow OA members and to Overeaters Anonymous on its golden anniversary year. When my mother first mentioned Overeaters Anonymous in this column in 1973, I am told the organization was inundated with 40,000 letters from readers wanting to know more or to start chapters. Today OA has grown to more than 6,500 chapters located in

more than 75 countries. There is no shaming, no weighing, and no dues or fees are charged at the meetings.

Dear Abby: What do you think of friends like the “Joneses,� who tell us about all the different people they have had over for dinner and what was served, but have never invited us to share a meal even though we have had them to our house for dinner on more than one occasion? – Stiffed in New Jersey Dear Stiffed: The people you have described are not acting like “friends.� What they’re doing shows extreme disregard for your feelings. When someone accepts an invitation to dinner in your home, anyone with good manners expects to reciprocate the hospitality in some way. If I were you, I would distance myself from the “Joneses.� You’ll have less hurt feelings and frustration if you do.

hen someone needs emergency assistance, the time it takes for help to arrive seems like an eternity. Aid normally arrives in a timely manner, but with your help, emergency responders could decrease response times. Simply put, we need for people to FIREHOUSE move veCHAT hicles to the right when Lee they hear Knight sirens and ■■■see lights. When I ask firefighters for column suggestions, moving to the right is the most requested subject. Every year more than 16,000 accidents involve fire department emergency vehicles, and they result in 1,000 firefighter injuries and 50 deaths. When an emergency vehicle approaches, many people simply panic or don’t understand what’s required of them, while others choose to ignore the law requiring drivers to yield the right-of-way to emergency vehicles. In life-threatening situations, traffic delays could prove to be deadly. Most people fall into the first two categories (above) so hopefully the following tips will make your next meeting with an emergency vehicle easier. The most important thing is to stay calm and don’t panic. When possible ease to the right and stop, allowing the emergency vehicle to pass. If you cannot move right or have no idea what to do, the next best option is to stop and allow the emergency vehicle to move around you. Once stopped, don’t move until the emergency vehicle has gone around you. On a four-lane highway without barriers, cars going in both directions should pull to the right. Once the emergency vehicle passes, stay back at least 500 feet. Here are some things not to do. Do not wear earphones or play radios so loud that you cannot hear sirens. Don’t stop in the middle lane of a highway. Never pull left because emergency vehicles want to pass on the left. Never ignore an emergency vehicle and continue to drive because that is dangerous and could delay emergency help. It’s the responsibility of emergency responders to provide service in an efficient and timely manner. To accomplish this, we need the help of everyone who drives. The next time you encounter an emergency vehicle, help us by pulling to the right and stopping. It would be much appreciated. 24/7/365: You call; we respond.

Does head trauma cause Alzheimer’s?

D

ear Dr. Donohue: My neighbor fell backward, and the back of her head hit a railroad tie. She unknowingly bled beneath her skull for a month until she passed out. The doctors found a crack in her skull and said she should have died. I read that a brain injury causes something like “alkaloids” to form in the brain, and that they are the precursors of Alzheimer’s disease. This same woman’s mother died young with Alzheimer’s. At age 11, I fell off a broken tire swing and hit the back of my head. I was in and out of consciousness all day, but my parents did not take me to a doctor for more than a week. There were no MRIs back then. Which of us has the stronger threat of getting Alzheimer’s disease? – S.S.

BLONDIE

B.C.

HAGAR THE HORRIBLE

The brain changes of Alzheimer’s disease include brain shrinkage, a buildup of amyloid deposits – not “alkaloids” – and the formation of tangles of brain cells infiltrated with a peculiar protein called tau. Amyloid is another pathological protein. Advancing age is one cause of these changes. Diabetes and high blood pressure are risks for Alzheimer’s. Family history is a risk. If a parent develops Alzheimer’s disease before age 60, the risk that the parent’s children will get it is

higher than it is for the general population. If a parent develops Alzheimer’s at HEALTH age 75 or later, the Dr. Paul increase in Donohue risk is not ■■■ great. If a parent does so after age 80, the increased risk is practically zero. Genes do play a role in Alzheimer’s disease, but they are not the sole risk and are not a risk in all patients. Some studies suggest that brain trauma might lead to Alzheimer’s changes, but the evidence for that relationship is questioned by many experts. Boxers who become punch drunk from repeated blows to the head have amyloid deposits in their brains, but they lack many of the other features common in Alzheimer’s patients’ brains. Neither you nor your neighbor has a great threat of coming down with Alzheimer’s because of your head injuries. Since your neighbor’s mother died with it a young age, her risk of getting it is greater than average. Dear Dr. Donohue: I am an 82-year-old woman in good health and very active. My problem is a Wenckebach’s block. It has been verified by my primary-care physician

and a cardiologist. I have had it for about 35 years. No one has ever told me what it is or what causes it. I know when it is happening, because I get a catch in my throat. I gather it is not lifethreatening. I would appreciate your input. – C.O. A technical EKG definition of a Wenckebach (WINK-ee-bock) block would serve only to confuse, so I’ll give you a nontechnical explanation. It’s a dropped beat. One of the electrical impulses that trigger every heartbeat doesn’t make it to the bottom heart chambers. Those chambers are the ventricles, and they’re responsible for contracting and pumping out blood. One electrical impulse in a series of impulses fails to make it to the ventricles. It’s a lost beat. It almost never creates a problem, and doesn’t usually progress to a more serious condition. You are a living example. Nothing bad has happened in 35 years, and nothing bad is likely to happen in the next 35 years. I don’t know what causes it. I never heard of it causing a catch in the throat. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475

IGH POINT – Got an old doll that belonged to your great-grandmother? A toy you played with as a child? Your mother’s wedding china? A World War I souvenir passed down from generation to generation in your family? If you have antiques or collectibles you’d like to know the value of, the High Point Museum is the place to be this weekend, when the High Point Historical Society will sponsor its fourth Evaluation Extravaganza, a fundraiser for the organization. At least half a dozen qualified evaluators will be on hand, offering appraisals of everything from gold and silver jewelry to dolls, rare books, military items and glassware. “It’s kind of like an ‘Antiques Roadshow’ type of event,” says event chairwoman Jo Williamson, referring to the popular PBS television show on which antiques appraisers travel to different cities to appraise items brought in by local people. “I think people like knowing what the value is of stuff they have or that they’ve found at a yard sale.” Appraisals will cost $5 apiece for

Williamson also expects to have a doll appraiser on hand, but that person hasn’t been confirmed yet. “That’s a big one – dolls are always one of our most popular items brought in,” she says. The Evaluation Extravaganza is not an annual event but is held every few years, according to Williamson. The last one was held in 2007.

The North Carolina Zoo Society and the Randolph Friends of the Zoo gave grants of more than $7,500 through the Randolph Friends of the Zoo Grant Fund. The fund, now in its eighth year, provides money to zoo and Zoo Society employees for projects that are innovative, practical, likely to have tangible results and of direct relevance to the work of the zoo and zoo society. Recipients are Nell Allen, Lisa Cassidy, Wendy Foley, Aaron Jesue, Marissa Krouse, Robert McCrory, Jeff Owen and Bill Seward. Some projects receiving funding include the purchase of an Enviroscape Wetlands Model to be used in educational programs at the zoo and in schools, funds to host the North Carolina Bat Working Group annual meeting at the N.C. Zoo, employee training in crocodilian biology and captive management and fern identification and funds to send two arborists to take the International Society of Arboriculture Certified Climber Specialist exam.

DAILY QUESTION

CLUB SHIFT

You hold: S 5 4 3 H 9 D K J 8 3 C Q 10 9 6 5. Your partner opens one heart, you respond 1NT and he bids two spades. The opponents pass. What do you say?

The deal is from the 1967 college “par” event, and South was expected to make four hearts with that loser-on-loser “scissors coup.” But the analyst didn’t notice that West could pitch a club on the fourth diamond. East could then lead a club, and when he took the ace of trumps, he could lead another club effectively. After a spade lead, the contract is unmakable.

ANSWER: If you feel like washing your hands of the whole business, I don’t blame you. But partner has “reversed” and has a strong hand. Some pairs treat this particular sequence as not forcing, but most pairs play that a reverse is forcing. In that style, your correct bid is 2NT. South dealer N-S vulnerable

Strive for stability and security. Both are attainable if you buckle down and call the shots. It’s time to take control and make things happen. It’s your turn to excel. Your numbers are 3, 12, 19, 26, 27, 38, 44 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Get into a key position and hold your ground. You stand a much better chance getting what you want if you take control. Work alone so you don’t have to deal with people who are a liability. ★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Focus on friends, neighbors and relatives who may be in need of your help. Patience and tolerance may not come easy right now, but will be necessary if you want others to confide in you. What you find out will help you get ahead. ★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t believe everything you hear and follow your intuition in emotional matters or affairs of the heart. Someone is likely to try to entice you to do things that don’t suit your needs. Don’t feel obligated to follow someone else’s direction. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Avoid disappointment by doing things on your own. Someone is likely to pull out at the last minute, forcing you to make a fast decision. You mustn’t miss out on what you want to do. Take action and don’t look back. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may be feeling anxious but that’s exactly when you should push and strive to accomplish whatever you have left unfinished. Your attitude and determination will get people’s attention. Question whatever and whoever you don’t agree with but don’t push your beliefs on others. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Chasing an impossible dream will not measure up in the end, but focusing on the moment and what you can make happen will bring you great satisfaction and the ability to see how far you can go. Master your skills and you will continue to advance. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Emotions will get the better of you, causing costly personal and professional mistakes. Focus on how to make your money work harder for you. There is plenty to learn and the people you meet while doing so will influence your future. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Present and promote the things you have been working on, even if they aren’t complete. You will gain confidence from the remarks you get and the help that is offered. A proposal is heading your way. ★★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Overindulgence and extravagance will work against you but, if you find a way to build your assets or add value to something you own or purchase, you will make gains. A little discipline will go a long way when dealing with projects and budgeting. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Use past experience to win whatever you face personally or professionally. You may want to contact someone you miss or feel can help you now. Being adaptable can be the key to accomplishment. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t do a repeat performance. Pick up the slack and do what will get you the furthest ahead. There is no room for error when it comes to your health, position or financial situation. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take pride in what you do. Taking time to enjoy the moment will help you capture a glimpse of what you want and who you want to be in your future. A partnership will play a role in your income. ★★★★★

BRIDGE

Here’s a play-or-defend deal with a historical twist. Would you rather play four hearts or try to beat it? South takes the ace of spades and sees four losers. Before he starts the trumps, he must get rid of a spade. He takes the ace of diamonds, overtakes his queen with the king and throws a spade on the jack. If South leads a trump next, East will win, cash a spade and lead his last diamond. If South ruffs with a high trump, West discards and scores his eight of trumps as well as the king. To avoid the “trump promotion,” South can lead dummy’s fourth diamond himself and throw his last spade. Agree?

HOROSCOPE

tures Russell Crowe teaming up with director Ridley Scott for the fifth time, debuted in the No. 2 spot with an estimated $37.1 million.

The film stars Amanda Seyfried as a New York journalist who travels to Verona, the setting for Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.”

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.

AP

Kyle Busch poses in victory lane with the trophy after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series’ Autism Speaks 400 on Sunday in Dover, Del. Busch also captured Saturday’s Nationwide Series race and fell just short of victory in Friday’s Truck Series event at Dover.

Busch tames ‘The Monster’ DOVER, Del. (AP) – Kyle Busch would like to believe he would have defeated Jimmie Johnson even without the four-time champion making a rare pit road mistake. Busch never will know, and he doesn’t really care. When Johnson was penalized for speeding on the final pit stop, that was all the opportunity Busch needed to pull away late Sunday and win his second race in two days at Dover International Speedway. Johnson made a quick burst out of the box and accelerated trying to catch a departing Busch coming off pit road. Busch joked that he wanted to “coax him into speeding a little bit.”

“I don’t know if that happened or not, but I’m going to say it did,” Busch said. Busch’s victory capped a wildly successful weekend for the Joe Gibbs Racing driver. Busch missed the tripleheader sweep on the one-mile concrete track by just a couple gallons of gas. He was in position to win the Trucks Series race on Friday but ran out of gas at the end. He easily took the checkered flag in Saturday’s second-tier series race and raced about 800 miles in three days. On Sunday, Busch swapped the lead with Johnson throughout most of the 400-mile race run in front of thousands of empty seats. He expected the duel to continue until Johnson

was clocked at 40.09 mph in a 35 mph zone. “I just had too much forward bite leaving the pit box and got going too fast and got busted,” Johnson said. Johnson, who won both Dover races last year, finished 16th after having the dominant car most of the race. Johnson led 225 laps to Busch’s 131. Jeff Burton was second and Matt Kenseth third. Denny Hamlin and David Reutimann rounded out the top five. Busch won his second race of the season – he won at Richmond International Raceway two weeks ago – and moved into second place in the standings behind seventh-place finisher Kevin Harvick.

Cougars keep baseball loss in perspective C

amouflage, by definition, is designed to conceal. High Point Christian Academy’s baseball players donned camouflage jerseys for the exact opposite reason: to show their feelings, wear their emotions on their sleeves. The Cougars capped a 24-5 campaign Friday in the semifinals of the N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association 2A tournament. The 6-4 loss to Kerr-Vance Academy marked a heartbreaking end to a spring filled with heartache of a far more serious nature. A car accident on April 30 claimed the lives of High Point Christian seniors Jacob Nance and Justin Simmons. The small private school and its close-knit community was forever changed in that instant. “A lot of our kids have never known anyone to die,” said Cougars coach Corey Gesell, also the school’s athletic director. “The first time that happens – for everybody – there’s a check as to what’s really important. Emotionally, it was tough.” Nance and Simmons didn’t play sports for HPCA, although Nance served as team manager during

the basketball season. Still, baseball players Cameron Cecil and Andrew Barnett talked of knowing the duo as students. Nance was especially close SPORTS to several of the baseball players, Steve and it was Barnett Hanf and fellow senior ■■■ Joseph Powell who came up with the idea to remember their classmates. “Jacob Nance, he was a big camo guy,” Cecil said, smiling at the memory. Added Barnett: “He loved his camo and his fishing, so we figured what better way to honor him than with camouflage shirts.” On the field, High Point Christian’s season screeched to a halt in the days following the crash. Gesell expressed his gratitude to Wesleyan Christian Academy coach Scott Davis, who agreed to a scrimmage four days after the accident “to get onto the field, get some emotions out.” Barnett and Powell pitched their idea for the special T-shirt

jerseys, which sport the initials of Nance and Simmons on the sleeve. The players wore the blueand-white camouflage pattern for the first time in a first-round playoff last Friday. The next day, they attended Nance’s memorial service. At last Tuesday’s second-rounder, Nance’s family was in the crowd and saw the Cougars reach the final four while wearing the new jerseys. “I’m hoping it encouraged them, to see Jacob’s friends doing this, representing him,” Gesell said. “That just shows what kinds of kids we have. Our kids care about each other. They wanted to do something special for those guys because they were their friends, they miss them.” The Nances also made the trek to Wingate University on Friday. There, High Point Christian’s players were denied what could have been a happy ending to their sad spring. “It was tough and it was always in the back of our minds,” Barnett said. “To try to play in their honor, to have a purpose instead of just trying to win a state championship ... unfortunately we didn’t make it, but I think we

exceeded expectations.” Cecil had his own thoughts on that subject. The Cougars, who experienced the thrill of winning a state championship last spring, didn’t need to reach that plateau just to honor their friends. “It wasn’t like we were playing for them. It was more like our effort needs to be for them,” Cecil explained. “I think toward the end of the season people weren’t giving that good an effort, and whenever we got these jerseys it kind of re-energized our team. I guess it gave us a higher meaning to have a great effort all the time.” The end of the season means there’s no further need for the special jerseys. But the message behind the shirts – displayed in plain sight no matter the camouflage – will be needed for some time to come. “While we were playing baseball, I guess it was a good distraction about the real issues of life,” Gesell said of the last two weeks. “But when two classmates die, that’s going to be there for a while.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

L

eBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers may gone from the NBA playoffs, but The Akron Hammer is far from forgotten. Fact is, the question of “Where will LeBron play next?” overshadows the four teams left in the playoffs. I understand James is a unique talent. He is an amazingly gifted athlete who can sink jumpshots from the concession stand

in prep-game warmups as well as regularly approach triple-double stats in the actual games. This guy is great. Period. I admit that I am mildly curious to see if James stays with the Cavaliers or follows the free-agent mega-millions to New York or Chicago or Los Angeles or wherever. But remember this. For all his skills and showmanship, James owns the same number of NBA champion-

ships as the Toronto Raptors or Chuckles, The Wonder Clown. That would be zero. So until the Magic, Celtics, Lakers or Suns are crowned NBA champs, I’m planning to leave the LeBron soap opera on the back burner. Where it belongs.

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR

The way Rafael Nadal has been playing on clay, it’s hard to imagine he won’t take home a fifth French Open title this year. Nadal improved to 15-0 on clay this season and won a record 18th Masters title Sunday, beating top-ranked Roger Federer 6-4, 7-6 (5) in the Madrid final. Nadal, who will return to No. 2 in today’s rankings, dodged questions about being the favorite at the French Open starting May 23. “I’m very happy with everything so far this year. I think I’ve returned to my top form and that’s the most important thing for me,” Nadal said. “Am I favorite to win at Roland Garros? I was last year and I lost.” Nadal, hampered by nagging knee injuries last season, reversed the result of the 2009 final – the last time he and Federer faced each other – to win in Madrid for a second time and move one Masters title ahead of Andre Agassi and two in front of Federer. In the women’s final on Sunday, Venus Williams was beaten 6-2, 7-5 by unseeded Aravane Rezai of France.

Presbyterian tops HPU in series finale SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

CLINTON, S.C. – Presbyterian College took the final game of the Big South series from the High Point University baseball team on Sunday , prevailing 10-9. The Panthers jumped out to a 9-4 lead but the Blue Hose bullpen kept HPU off the scoreboard for the final five innings to drop HPU to 26-26 (12-12 Big South Conference). “This is honestly the most disappointing loss we have experienced in a long time,” said HPU head coach Craig Cozart. “We were in control of this game until the rain came and then we literally stopped playing. Now, instead of securing ourselves a position in the postseason we leave ourselves in limbo for another week.” Kyle Starnes allowed just one run in relief but was tagged with the loss, fall-

ing to 3-2 on the season. Freshman Jared Avidon made the start for High Point but lasted just 22⁄3 innings, allowing four runs, three earned, on seven hits with two strikeouts. Pablo Rosario took the first pitch of the game from PC starter Andrew Foushee through the right side for a single, and after stealing second base came around to score when Nate Roberts doubled to left center. Roberts also picked up a stolen base in the inning, coming around to score when Matt Gantner reached on an error. Presbyterian took a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the second. Nate Horton struck out to lead off the inning but reached on a wild pitch, coming around to score on Matthew Hill’s double. Hill was thrown out trying to stretch it in to a triple. The Blue Hose added two more runs in the inning, one unearned on a pass ball. The Panthers answered with a fourrun third. Drew Geissinger led off with a

double.. Rosario sacrificed him to third and he scored on a Mike Mercurio hit. Roberts, Gantner and Max Fulginiti singled in the inning, with Roberts and Gantner scoring to make it a 6-3 game. Avidon walked Kenny Bryant to lead off the bottom of the third and he came around to score on back-to-back two out singles before Avidon was taken out of the game. Corey Swickle struck out Derek Herron to get out of the inning with a 6-4 HPU advantage. Murray White IV led off the fourth with a base hit and Geissinger was hit by a pitch, sending Presbyterian College to the bullpen. Jordan Pace came in, giving up a single to Mercurio to score White before he intentionally walked Roberts to load the bases. Gantner made Pace pay with a single through the left side, picking up two RBI and extending HPU’s lead to 9-4. PC tied the game with a five-run fifth

inning, scoring three runs off Swickle and two more off Mike Caldwell before Starnes came out of the bullpen with two outs and runner on first. Bryant popped up the first pitch from Starnes to first baseman, Steve Antolik in foul territory to end the inning. After striking out the first batter of the sixth inning, Starnes gave up three base hits to load the bases. Derek Herron earned a walk to bring in a run and put PC ahead 10-9. Starnes induced a 5-23 double play from Jeff Tatum to get out of the jam. Starnes, Kyle Wigmore and Al Yevoli each recorded one out on the mound for HPU in the eighth inning. Gantner went 2-5 with four RBIs. HPU will visit N.C. State on Tuesday at 6 p.m. before heading to Charleston Southern for the final series of the regular season. The first game will be played Thursday at 3 p.m.

Hudson (4-1) improved to 3-0 in May with his longest start of the season. He struck out six and walked only one batter, while also getting two hits and driving in a run.

Kubel’s slam stuns Yankees THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK – Jason Kubel hit a stunning grand slam off Mariano Rivera with two outs in the eighth inning and the Minnesota Twins snapped a nine-game losing streak against the New York Yankees with a 6-3 victory Sunday. Rivera replaced Joba Chamberlain (1-2) with the bases loaded and a 3-1 lead and walked Jim Thome. Kubel pulled a drive into the seats in right, startling the crowd of 46,628. Kubel’s third homer of the season and sixth career slam snapped a string of 51 straight converted save opportunities for Rivera at home, tying the major league record set by Eric Gagne with the Dodgers. It was the first grand slam off Rivera since Bill Selby’s game-ending shot for Cleveland on July 14, 2002. Rivera hadn’t allowed a run in 11 innings this year. The ace closer issued his fourth career bases-loaded walk and first since May 6, 2005, before allowing his fourth grand slam, according to STATS LLC. Jon Rauch gave up two singles to start the ninth, then struck out Derek Jeter, Brett Gardner and Mark Teixeira to hold on for his 10th save in 11 chances. Nick Blackburn (4-1) helped the Twins beat New York for the first time since Aug. 13, 2008. They had lost 12 straight overall against the Yankees, counting the sweep in last year’s AL division series.

to rally past the Seattle Mariners. Lee (1-2) took a 1-0 lead into the seventh, limiting the team with baseball’s best record to doubles by B.J. Upton and Willy Aybar up to that point. Upton doubled again with one out in the seventh, then scored when Rodriguez followed with his hit off the right-center field wall. Carl Crawford tripled into the leftfield corner, just beyond the reach of Michael Saunders, and scored on Kapler’s sacrifice fly. Dan Wheeler (2-0) retired the only two batters he faced to get the win. Rafael Soriano got three outs for his 10th save in 10 opportunities.

Pineiro (3-4) struck out five, walked one and threw just 98 pitches. Trevor Cahill (1-2) allowed three runs, five hits and no walks over seven innings.

SAN DIEGO – Russell Martin’s RBI single was one of only two hits for the Los Angeles Dodgers, who beat the first-place San Diego Padres 1-0 on Sunday for a three-game sweep and their season-high seventh straight victory. The Dodgers, playing again without Andre Ethier, won for the 12th time in 15 games. Chad Billingsley (4-2) shut down the Padres over 71⁄3 innings, allowing just four singles, striking out six and walking one. Jonathan Broxton pitched a perfect ninth for his third save.

GIANTS 4, ASTROS 3 SAN FRANCISCO – Barry Zito earned his sixth win of the season, Aaron Rowand hit a go-ahead home run in the sixth inning and the Giants finished a three-game sweep.

Brian Wilson pitched around two hits to earn his nith save.

ROCKIES 2, NATIONALS 1 DENVER – Brad Hawpe hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the eighth, and Colorado won after Jeff Francis threw seven sharp innings in his first start since September 2008.

REDS 7, CARDINALS 2 CINCINNATI – Scott Rolen homered and drove in three runs, helping the surging Reds move a half game ahead of St. Louis following their seventh win in eight games. The Reds haven’t been in first place this deep into a season since June 8, 2006.

CUBS 4, PIRATES 3 CHICAGO – Pinch-hitter Xavier Nady lined a goahead single in the eighth inning and the Cubs rallied to their first victory over the Pirates after seven straight losses. Alfonso Soriano singled off D.J. Carrasco (1-1) with one out in the eighth, stole second and went to third on a wild pitch. After Geovany Soto drew a two-out walk, Nady singled to right field for his first pinch-hit since July 19, 2008 – when he was with the Pirates.

MARLINS 10, METS 8 MIAMI – Pinch-hitter Chris Coghlan hit a threerun homer in the seventh inning and the Marlins completed their first four-game sweep since August 2006. Two Mets errors helped the Marlins score four unearned runs en route to a 7-0 lead.

Boston’s Ray Allen goes up for a shot past Orlando’s Dwight Howard (12), J.J. Redick (7), and Rashard Lewis (right) during the first half in Game 1 of their NBA Eastern Conference Finals best-of-seven series on Sunday. Allen finished with 25 points as the Celtics netted a 92-88 victory.

Celtics smother Magic, take 1-0 series lead ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – The hair is a little grayer. The ankles and knees no longer so sturdy. Even with a roster full of aging superstars, the Boston Celtics are still standing tall. Too old to chase a title? Not these days. Ray Allen scored 25 points, Paul Pierce had 22 and the Celtics used smothering defense to beat the Orlando Magic 92-88 on Sunday in the Eastern Conference finals opener. Hampered by injuries, the Celtics

literally limped their way through parts of the regular season. All that seems a distant memory now. “I honestly say we lost ourselves,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. “I think we’ve found ourselves again.” Rasheed Wallace added 13 points as the Celtics built a 20-point lead, then held on late to snap Orlando’s 14-game winning streak. They held the Magic to 41 percent shooting – 22 percent from 3-point range – in

displaying that rough and tough defense that was once their staple. Vince Carter had 23 points and Jameer Nelson finished with 20 for Orlando, which cut the lead to two in the final seconds but simply ran out of time, looking rusty after a six-day layoff. Dwight Howard was limited to 13 points and 12 rebounds, nowhere near the dominant force the Magic need to win a title. Game 2 in the best-of-seven series is Tuesday night in Orlando.

Scott takes Texas Open title THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN ANTONIO – Australia’s Adam Scott made the Texas Open his first PGA Tour victory in two years, shooting a combined 11-under 133 in a 36hole finale Sunday to edge Fredrik Jacobson by a stroke. The 2008 Byron Nelson Classic winner, Scott overcame two early bogeys with an eagle on the par-4 17th in his third-round 66, then built his lead with six birdies en route to a closing 67 on the new Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio. Scott survived a closing bogey – his only one in the final round – when Jacobson missed a 16-footer from the fringe on No. 18 that would’ve forced a playoff. Scott finished at 14-under 274 and earned $1,098,000 for his seventh tour victory. Jacobson closed with rounds of 65 and 70. Ernie Els (69-68), Aaron Baddeley (67-68) and Jimmy Walker (70-

69) tied for third place at 12 under.

PAK ENDS THREE-YEAR DROUGHT MOBILE, Ala. – Se Ri Pak ended a three-year LPGA Tour victory drought, beating Brittany Lincicome with a birdie on the third hole of playoff after rain washed out the fourth round of the Bell Micro LPGA Classic. Pak, Lincicome and Suzann Pettersen – eliminated with a bogey on the second extra hole – finished 54 holes at 13 under.

FORSMAN PREVAILS BY THREE HOOVER, Ala. – Dan Forsman won the Regions Charity Classic for his second Champions Tour title, making an eagle and four consecutive birdies on the front nine on his way to a three-stroke victory. Forsman closed with a 66 to finish at 20 under. Joe Ozaki (66) and Peter Senior (68) tied for second at 17 under, David Peoples (68) followed at 15 under.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) – Dustin Byfuglien scored the tiebreaking goal with 6:45 remaining in regulation, Antti Niemi made 44 saves and the Chicago Blackhawks extended their road dominance in the playoffs with a 2-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks in the opener of the Western Conference final on Sunday. Patrick Sharp also scored for the Blackhawks, who improved to 6-1 on the road this postseason and snapped a streak of four straight losses in series openers. Rookie Jason Demers scored the lone goal for San Jose, which fell to 0-4 at home alltime in two trips to the conference final. Game 2 will be played Tuesday night in San Jose.

Jeffreys dominates at Bowman Gray ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

WINSTON-SALEM – Lee Jeffreys was happy to qualify on the pole for K&N Filters Night, happy to lead every lap, and happy to take the checkered flag. But the thing that really put a smile on his face was reminding all the fans that he’s as much a force to be reckoned with as the oftenmentioned names of Burt Myers and Tim Brown. “Brown and Myers – that’s all you heard last year,” said Jeffreys. “We’re going to see if we can’t get our name out there several times.” Jeffreys knew that qualifying would be the key to victory entering Saturday’s twin 25-lap races. With the starting lineup for the 25lappers for the Bill Plemmons RV World Modified Series determined strictly by qualifying, these short, intense races are often won or lost with the qualifying laps. “That’s 90% of it – getting your qualifying lap in. It’ll make you or break you,” said Jeffreys. Starting beside Jeffreys would be Randy Butner of Pfafftown, with Burt Myers of Walnut Cove starting in third and Michael Clifton of Walkertown in fourth. Jeffreys

shot out to the lead as the green flag fell – while Myers took advantage of his inside lane position to slip into second. Myers began putting the pressure on Jeffreys, giving him a few taps to the rear – but Jeffreys was unshaken. Despite several caution restarts, Jeffreys stayed up front until the end. Myers came in second. Jonathan Brown of Winston-Salem finished third, with Randy Butner of Pfafftown finishing fourth. Junior Miller of Danbury started off his night with a streak of bad luck. First, he was unable to compete in his primary car as he waited on purchased parts to come in. Then, Miller’s secondary car had problems during practice. “We thought it was ready to go, because in practice two weeks ago it ran fine,” said Miller. “When we went out to practice today, it just ran flat.” The crew of Miller worked feverishly to get the car running again, but they were unable to do so in time for the No. 69 to make a qualifying attempt. Miller would make the field based on a provisional start – but he would be forced to lineup at the very rear of the field in 24th.

The former champion climbed his way through the pack until a tightracing incident dropped him back to a 16th place finish. When the time came for the Four Seasons Home Improvement “Madhouse Scramble” to shake up the starting lineup for the second race, Miller was placed on the pole. It seemed at first like a chance of redemption for the Miller team – until raindrops began to fall right as the cars were being rolled out to start the second race. The Street Stock 50 for the Street Stock Series has been postponed until next Saturday due to rain. Zack Clifton of Walkertown, Rookie of the Year for last season, qualified on the pole for the 50-lapper: the longest and most prestigious race of the season for the Street Stock Division. In the Sportsman Series, Scott Hall of Walkertown took the checkered in the first 20-lap race. Reigning Champ Ronnie Clifton of Walkertown brought home the win in the second 20-lapper. In the Stadium Stock Series, veteran Johnny Burke of Midway claimed victory in the first scheduled 15-lap race. The second race was postponed due to rain.

RALEIGH – High Point Christian Academy’s boys placed third in the NCISAA 1A/2A track and field championships that ended late Saturday at Ravenscroft School, while Westchester Country Day School’s girls took fifth. Westchester’s boys claimed fifth overall in the 22team field, while the HPCA girls placed seventh out of the 18 teams that scored points.

Taylor Christiansen took sixth in the 1,600 in 4:48.84 and was seventh in the 3,200 in 10:31.25. Logan Yeager was third in the pole vault at 9-6 with Jay Kennedy fifth at eight feet.

Stock markets stay turbulent as Europe sours

AP

German Chancellor Angela Merkel addresses the audience at the Congress of the German Labor Union, DGB, in Berlin Sunday.

Merkel: $1 trillion rescue package only buys time BERLIN (AP) – The ¤750 billion ($1 trillion) rescue loan package only bought euro-zone countries more time, but didn’t resolve the continent’s underlying debt problem, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and a European Central Bank official said. The market turmoil only will calm down if the 16 member states of the euro zone reform their economies and reduce their deficits, ECB chief economist Juergen Stark told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung newspaper on Sunday. Stark was quoted as saying about the loan package that “We bought time, not more than that.” The euro was not in danger “but in a critical situation,” he added.

Merkel on Sunday defended the loan package as the right step to stabilize the currency, but she also acknowledged it only bought time. “We didn’t do more than buy time to get the differences in competitiveness and budget deficits of euro-zone countries in order,” she said at a conference of the Confederation of German Trade Unions in Berlin. The speculation against the euro was only possible because of the differing economic strength and debt level of the euro-zone countries, Merkel said. “If you just ignore this problem, you won’t get things to calm down,” the chancellor added. Merkel also told the union members that budget cuts in Germany

are inevitable, calling the country’s current debt level unsustainable. In the past few days, Merkel has repeatedly urged all euro-zone countries to trim their budget deficits. She also called for greater cooperation in financial and economic policy across Europe to ensure the currency’s long-term stability. Defending the latest bailout package – which is unpopular among German voters – Merkel told daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung on Saturday that it’s not only the currency’s stability that is at stake, but the European idea as a whole. “Because we know if the euro fails, then more is failing,” the paper quoted her as saying.

NEW YORK (AP) – Stock traders are worried that what happens in Europe won’t stay in Europe. Countries including Greece and Spain are being forced to make budget cuts because of soaring debts. Investors are concerned that this new frugality could slow not just the European economic recovery, but the global rebound as well. So they’re shrugging off signs of a sustained U.S. turnaround and are instead taking cues from developments abroad. Investors are focusing some of their concern on the euro, the currency shared by 16 European countries. Sagging confidence in Europe’s ability to solve its economic problems has sent the euro plunging against the dollar. Investors believe that the dollar’s strength combined with weaker growth in Europe will reduce demand for U.S. exports and hurt the recovery that U.S. companies, particularly manufacturers, have been enjoying. “Manufacturing has been doing very well. Exports have been doing very well. And if there is any fear that the global engine is going to slow, even at the margins, it creates uncertainty,” said Quincy Krosby, chief market strategist at Prudential Financial. It’s clear that traders have lost some of their

swagger. The Dow Jones industrial average posted a 14-month gain of 71.2 percent from March 2009. It’s down 5.2 percent since late April. The Dow tumbled 163 points Friday after the euro fell to a 19-month low against the dollar. The market still closed higher for the week after falling in the two previous weeks, but there was no sense of relief on Wall Street. As they sold Friday, traders looked past upbeat reports on retail sales and industrial production. The reason: They make their moves based on what they expect the economy and corporate profits will be six to nine months in the future. Investors are now factoring slower growth in Europe, and perhaps a recession, into stock prices. Good news from the U.S. economy last month is now almost immaterial in traders’ eyes. “At the end of the day it’s always about confidence,” Krosby said. “We tend to look at our markets as the barometer of that confidence.” The stock market’s swings started just as individual investors were returning to the market after fleeing in 2008 during the financial crisis. “This is only lending to the skepticism that individual investors have,” said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott.

Greek leader mulls action against US banks ATHENS, Greece (AP) – Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou declared he is not ruling out taking legal action against U.S. investment banks for their role in creating the spiraling Greek debt crisis. Both the Greek government and its citizens have blamed international banks for fanning the flames of the debt crisis with comments about Greece’s likely default, actions that are causing the country’s borrowing costs to soar. “I wouldn’t rule out that (legal action) might be a recourse. But we need to let due process (take its course) and then make our judgments once we get the results from the investigations,” Papandreou

said in a CNN interview broadcast Sunday. He did not elaborate further on any actions against U.S. banks. Papandreou also said a parliamentary investigation will examine the rapid swelling of Greece’s debt and international banking practices to examine whether the financial sector engaged in “fraud and lack of transparency.” The European Union and the International Monetary fund have approved a ¤110 billion ($136 billion) bailout package for Greece. In addition, European nations have created a ¤750 billion ($1 trillion) rescue package to protect the euro, the common currency of 16 European nations, including Greece.

The Greek leader also urged more regulation of the markets which, in his view, are now betting against the European governments that have poured billions into them since the global financial crisis began in 2008. Some European governments plan to push for tighter regulation of hedge funds this week – a move opposed by Britain, home to the financial hub of London. Papandreou also tried to counter criticism, expressed mainly in Germany, that Greeks are getting a free ride and rejected widespread international skepticism about Greece’s ability to pay back its loans. Greek debt is scheduled to exceed 140 percent of its economic output in 2012.

Obama wants light on Wall Street’s shadowy deals WASHINGTON (AP) – Closer watch over Wall Street will help consumers make better informed choices about investing and shine light on the shadowy deals that caused the financial crisis, President Barack Obama said Saturday in pushing Congress to pass overhaul legislation. In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama

DILBERT

said the bill also would curb predatory lending practices, prevent banks from taking on too much risk and give shareholders more of a say. “Put simply, Wall Street reform will bring greater security to folks on Main Street,” the president said. “My responsibility as president isn’t just to help our economy rebound from

this recession; it’s to make sure an economic crisis like the one that helped trigger this recession never happens again,” he said. “That’s what Wall Street reform will help us do.” The Senate is debating the broadest rewrite of the rules governing Wall Street since the Great Depression. A final vote is possible as early as the coming week. The bill would

then have to be merged with the House’s version. The legislation would set up a mechanism to watch out for risks in the financial system, create a method to liquidate large failing firms and write new rules for complex securities blamed for helping precipitate the 2008 economic crisis. It also would create a new con-

sumer protection agency, a key point for Obama. The Senate version calls for an independent bureau within the Federal Reserve to write and enforce regulations that would police lending, while the House bill has a stand-alone agency. “You’ll be empowered with the clear and concise information you need to make

the choices that are best for you. We’ll help stop predatory practices, and curb unscrupulous lenders, helping secure your family’s financial future,” Obama said. “With reform, we’ll make our financial system more transparent by bringing the kinds of complex, backroom deals that helped trigger this crisis into the light of day.”

Atlantis arrives at space station CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) – Atlantis arrived at the International Space Station on Sunday for what could be its last visit, delivering fresh batteries and other equipment to help keep the outpost running long after the shuttle program ends. For now, Atlantis’ dance card is empty after this flight, and NASA has just two missions remaining. But there’s a push to keep the space shuttles flying until next June and to give Atlantis one last hurrah. AP Shuttle commander In this image provided by NASA, space shuttle Atlantis’ cargo bay and its vertical stabilizer intersecting Earth’s Kenneth Ham was visibly moved as he floated horizon was provided on Saturday by one of the six STS-132 crew members.

Abortion foes capitalize on health care law WASHINGTON (AP) – Abortion opponents fought passage of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul to the bitter end, and now that it’s the law, they’re using it to limit coverage by private insurers. An obscure part of the law allows states to restrict abortion coverage by private plans operating in new insurance markets. Capitalizing on

that language, abortion foes have succeeded in passing bans that, in some cases, go beyond federal statutes. “We don’t consider elective abortion to be health care, so we don’t think it’s a bad thing for fewer private insurance companies to cover it,” said Mary Harned, attorney for Americans United for Life, a national organization that wrote a model law for the states.

District agrees to rehire teachers CENTRAL FALLS, R.I. (AP) – A school district that fired all 88 high school teachers has reached a deal with the union to return all the current staffers to their jobs. The two sides said Sunday a so-called transformation plan for Central

Falls High School for the coming school year will allow current staff members to return to the school without having to reapply for their jobs. The agreement also imposes a longer school day, more after-school tutoring and other changes.

He grabbed two of the station astronauts in a tight embrace. “It’s bigger than we remember and, speaking for myself, better than I remember,” Ham said. “I love this place.” The rendezvous by Atlantis was accompanied by considerably more picture-taking than usual, to make up for a curtailed safety survey the day before. Three of the six space station residents snapped a total of 398 pictures using zoom lenses as Atlantis made its final approach.

Kagan unlikely to see GOP filibuster WASHINGTON (AP) – Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan is unlikely to face a GOP filibuster but should expect difficult questions from lawmakers who will decide whether she deserves the lifetime appointment despite having no judicial experience, the Senate’s secondranking Republican said Sunday. “The filibuster should be relegated to the extreme circumstances, and I don’t think Elena Kagan represents that,” said Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The committee chairman, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said he hoped to have Kagan on the bench this summer, succeeding retiring Justice John Paul Stevens well ahead of the new term that begins in October. GOP senators are placing great weight on her testimony in determining the fate of President Barack Obama’s second nominee for the

high court. At issue is her lack of a judicial paper trail. Kagan is now solicitor general, the top government lawyer who argues the administration’s cases Kagan before the Supreme Court, and was dean of Harvard Law School. But she has never been a judge. “She has so little other record, this is going to be a big deal,” said Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, the committee’s top Republican. “It’s so important how she testifies.” Republicans want to know “whether she will lay her political beliefs aside when she’s deciding cases and decide those cases strictly based upon the facts and the law of the case,” Kyl said. “That may be a little difficult in her case because she’s never had to do that before as a judge, and so it’s more difficult to know whether she is actually able

But that will be the primary issue.” Kyl also said he wants answers on her thoughts about the “enemy combatant” designation used for terrorism suspects. The Senate’s Republican leader, Kentucky’s Mitch McConnell, said he wants to know about Kagan’s thoughts on campaign finance and free speech.
