Budget raises utility rates, rec fees BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – High Point City Manager Strib Boynton’s proposed 201011 budget calls for holding the property tax rate steady, but residents and businesses would see higher utility rates and a new garbage collection fee under the spending plan unveiled Monday. At $308 million, the proposed budget represents a decrease of 3.8 percent from the city’s current annual budget. Boynton’s plan outlines an additional $190 million that is committed to the ongoing rebuilding and upgrading of various water, sewer, transportation, solid waste, parks and recreation and other in-

frastructure, bringing the city’s total 2010-11 financial program to $498 million. “It is quite a juggling act, trying to balance our ability to maintain Boynton services with very limited revenues,” Boynton told the City Council. “Water and sewer projects, personnel, operational and capital expenses have been cut dramatically.” The city’s major general fund revenue sources continue to shrink because of the recession. New residential and commercial construction, electric usage, sales tax revenue and other sources have all dropped significantly, leading city officials

to cut $3.7 million from the current budget. The proposed budget calls for a 4.8 percent electric rate increase effective June 1 to cover the city’s cost to purchase wholesale power through ElectriCities, a 4.9 percent increase in water and sewer rates effective Oct. 1 to pay for major water and sewer system improvements and a new $6 monthly fee for solid waste collection beginning Jan. 1. Various parks and recreation fees would rise, as would the maximum business license fee, from $400 to $1,500. The High Point Public Library, which is currently open seven days a week, would close on Mondays and operating hours at five of the city’s six recreation centers would

be reduced by 15 hours per week during the school year. Enactment of the solid waste collection fee could depend on what happens with state and county shared revenue sources. The budget would eliminate 51 full and part-time vacant city positions, following the cuts of 23 vacant jobs in the current budget, for estimated total savings of $2.9 million. In addition, city workers’ salaries would be frozen for a second year in a row. The city has scheduled two public hearings on the proposed budget: June 7 at 5:30 p.m. and June 10 at 9 a.m. Council must adopt a final budget by June 30. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Furniture company plans move

INDEX

BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The New Jersey-based furniture business Huffman Koos has achieved so much success at the High Point Market that it plans to move to a larger location closer to the heart of the showroom district. Huffman Koos purchased the former First Union National Bank branch at Kivett Drive and N. Main Street four years ago, opening the building for the furniture trade at the spring 2007 market. Now Huffman Koos wants to relocate to a new location and lease its current, 13,500-squarefoot building, said Mike Salazar, vice president of sales and operations. “We want to be closer to the main building and/or possibly be in the building,” Salazar said, referring to the International Home Furnishings Center, the largest single

Huffman Koos, currently at 209 N. Main St., is moving closer to the center of the showroom district. showroom complex at the High Point Market. Salazar said Huffman Koos is negotiating for a new location, and the company hopes to be in its new showroom by the fall market Oct. 16-21. If not, Huffman Koos would continue to operate out of its current home for the fall market, he said.

Huffman Koos, founded in 1961, is one of the largest independent furniture retailers in the New York City metropolitan area. “The last few markets have been pretty good for us, and our business wholesale-wise has grown quite a bit. We’re looking for great foot traffic,” Salazar said Monday

about the relocation. The new location could give Huffman Koos 15 percent more space than it has now at market, he said. “We firmly believe in High Point. We know what it’s capable of, and we’re looking to grow and expand,” Salazar said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

The proposed budget recommends an 8 percent increase for water and sewer rates. A previous sewer rate study had projected a 5.2 percent increase for the 2011 fiscal year, but the additional increase is necessary because of the continuing decline in consumption, according the city manager’s budget letter. Councilman Raleigh York Jr. said last week that all of the city’s outside organization will be funded the same as last year, except for the Piedmont Triad Partnership. At a work session last week, the City Council decided to eliminate funding completely for the Piedmont Triad Partnership because Davidson County is already a contributor to the organization, according to York. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

New rules on grates may close hundreds of NC pools RALEIGH (AP) – A federal safety law has led some North Carolina counties to close their public pools and could keep hundreds more from opening this summer. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported state officials are enforcing the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act, which helps protect children from injuring themselves in public pool drains. The act is named after the 7-year-old grand-

daughter of former Secretary of State James Baker, who drowned in 2002 when she was caught in a hot tub drain. The law requires grates designed to prevent body parts and jewelry from being sucked into drains. Counties which oversee pools have begun to close those not in compliance. State pool program supervisor Jim Hayes says that 1,000 pools across the state could easily be shut down.

Alston: County, health providers close to deal for clinics BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – County officials are close to a deal with two hospital groups on two health clinic contracts, Commissioner Skip Alston said Monday.

GUILFORD CLINICS

–

Intense negotiations began after County Manager Brenda Jones-Fox proposed eliminating $1.6 million for Guilford Adult Health in her $568.9 million 2011 budget plan. The hospitals have wanted to sign a deal with the county at the same time for both clinic programs, according to health officials. Health Director Merle Green has said the agency will not stop clinic services. The agency may find another provider, or replace some services, if no

contract is approved. “We may also work with local providers for primary care,� Green said. Discussions heated up as budget deadlines approached. Alston was critical of Moses Cone earlier this month for apparently linking the two contracts and placing Child Health in jeopardy. “Things now may not be as bad as it could be,� Alston said Monday. Meanwhile, a section of Benbow Professional Center on Martin Luther

King Jr. Drive in Greensboro, where a new clinic will open, is under renovations, Green said. The board of health earlier chose Prison Health Systems of Brentwood, Tenn., which provides services in the county jails, to run the clinic to provide health services for the low-income neighborhood. Staff will include part-time physicians, nurses and medical and nursing assistants. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Solve parking issues along E. Fork Road I read with interest Nick Marshall’s letter on May 16. I agree with him. One of my favorite places to run is the Deep River Trail off E. Fork Road in Jamestown where the Greenway crosses the road by the back nine on the Jamestown Golf Course. I have parked on the shoulder of the road for years, stretched and hopped out to hit the trail for a nice five-mile out and back to my car. There is a problem, however. No-parking signs have recently appeared. I was told that it was because of complaints from drivers suggesting it was dangerous to allow the cars to pull out onto East Fork Road from either side. Rather than restrict parking in this easy-access area, why not put up guardrails or widen the blacktop (for a “pullout” lane) to provide safer access? This spot, where the Greenway crosses, provides great access for those who are less able and cannot walk the hills from the Piedmont

Signs in each direction could warn drivers there is a crossing present and that cars may be pulling out instead of taking away access for some who are unable to access the Greenway there from Gibson Park (almost three miles on the Greenway) or the Piedmont Environmental Center. For me, it only adds another mile to my run but for many it limits accessibility. It wouldn’t hurt to have a police officer sit there and hand out some speeding tickets. Now that would pretty quickly raise funds to pay for work that should be done to allow safe access to this area for everyone instead of restricting it further. JOHN MCKINNEY High Point

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

Caution: Liberal politicians use ‘different’ language patients, oil companies and motorists, or police officers and crime victims. Yet they routinely equate the interests of teacher unions with the delivery of high-quality educational services to North Carolina families. It is certainly true that OPINION there are many education policies that have the potenJohn tial to help specific groups Hood of educators and students at ■■■ the same time. Differentiating teacher pay according to evident performance in the classroom would serve to reward the best teachers, which would create an incentive for them to stay in the profession and for other current or would-be teachers to improve their performance to make more money. These incentives would help students be more successful, too. And eliminating the statewide cap on charter schools would give both parents and teachers more choices, more opportunities to find the educational setting that best meets their preferences and expectations. But simply protecting the jobs of current teachers is hardly in the interests of the students subjected to the supervision of the latter two groups. It doesn’t take a cynic to recognize that liberals who advocate such a policy are more likely to be responding to pressure-group politics than to the prospect of educational progress. Just to be clear: I’m defining “educational progress” as demonstrable increases in student learning and parental satisfaction, not as a teacher-union endorsement for the next election.

Let me see, union thugs throwing rocks and bottles at police during protest against the evil, racist Arizona law (which is the same as the federal law) = GOOD. Grandmothers singing “God Bless America” at a tea party rally = evil, hating, racist, fearmongering,Obama haters. Something is badly wrong with this picture. In this next election, we might have our last good chance to take back our country. People, do not be complacent, do not let your friends and family be complacent. Vote out any who support these anti-American progressive policies, regardless of party. For the last 40 years, North Carolina has voted the same way, expecting new results. Wake up North Carolina, wake up Ameri-

iberal politicians speak a different language from most of us – which may help to explain why the “liberal” label, unlike the “conservative” one, is eschewed by most politicians seeking election or re-election. For example, when liberal politicians say the government needs a “balanced” package of “revenue enhancements,” what they really mean is that you have too much money in your pocket – and that they plan to pick it in the most-surreptitious manner they can come up with. Every now and then, however, liberal politicians drift away from their carefully constructed terminology of obfuscation and say what they think. Check out how North Carolina House Speaker Joe Hackney defined his terms in press interviews leading up to the opening day of the 2010 legislative session in Raleigh. Asked about his fiscal priorities in fashioning a 2010-11 state budget that is several hundred millions dollars in the red, Hackney first indicated that education would be a top priority. But later, he defined the priority as protecting teachers, a phrase that had the virtue of explaining precisely what he really meant – though not really what most people think of as the top education priority, namely protecting students. Hackney apparently believes that protecting the economic interests of teachers is the same thing as protecting educational opportunity. It is no coincidence that the North Carolina Association of Educators, the state’s largest teacher union, sees the issue the same way. In few other areas of our political debate is it so blithely assumed that the interests of the producers and consumers of a good or service are precisely aligned. Liberals rarely equate the interests of drug companies and the elderly, hospitals and

he registration figures released by the High Point Market Authority last week affirmed the success of the spring furniture market and encourage most of us to look forward with considerable optimism to both Showtime and the October market. The Market Authority announced that 77,705 registrations were recorded for the spring market and, while some of those registered may not have shown up, the figure indicates renewed interest in High Point by those in the home furnishings industry. Authority records show that 46,087 (59 percent) of registrants were buyers. That figure probably is the most important because buyers are the primary reason for staging market. Even more encouraging is that some 3,500 buyers who had not registered over the last three years were registrants for the April market, which also had 7,605 new buyers among registrants. We agree with Market Authority President and CEO Brian Casey that “we’re seeing a renewed interest in High Point and a very positive attitude toward this market that we have not seen in a long time” and that registration increases are “a good sign for both market and the furniture industry.” We hope such enthusiasm for visiting High Point carries over to Showtime, the semiannual fabric market produced by and for the members of the International Textile Market Association (ITMA) that regularly draws about 3,000 people including representatives from more than 800 buying companies, scheduled for June 6-9. And, as Casey emphasized, this renewed interest in the High Point Market “doesn’t mean our work is done,” it merely means that all of us – the Market Authority, showroom building owners and operators, exhibitors, hotel/motel/restaurant and other service business owners and, yes, even a majority of High Pointers should strive to do everything necessary to make the experience even batter for marketgoers. Some locals, apparently not realizing the many benefits – tangible and intangible – that market has helped provide for the community over the years, complain about market showrooms taking over so much of the central downtown area, leaving little space (at reasonable prices) for restaurants, retail stores and other service-type enterprises. It’s true that the majority of the showrooms, especially along N. and S. Main streets are “open” only for market but we all should be thankful that someone is using and maintaining those street-level facilities rather than having a plethora of deteriorating, empty storefronts in the heart of the city. We all should be ambassadors for High Point when market and Showtime roll around.

Explosion at Turkish coal mine traps 32 ANKARA, Turkey – An explosion ripped through a major coal mine in northern Turkey on Monday, trapping 32 workers underground, authorities said. The blast took place at the Karadon mine near the Black Sea port of Zonguldak. There was no immediate word on its cause. It was the third mine accident in Turkey in the past six months. Gov. Erdal Ata of Zonguldak province said 32 workers were stuck below ground.

ference in Baghdad, Iraq, Monday, about plot on World Cup by al-Qaida.

Iraq says it uncovered al-Qaida plot on World Cup BAGHDAD (AP) – Iraqi security forces have detained an al-Qaida militant suspected of planning an attack targeting the World Cup in South Africa next month, an official said Monday. Maj. Gen. Qassim alMoussawi, a spokesman for Baghdad security services, said Abdullah Azam Saleh al-Qahtani was an officer in the Saudi army. He is suspected of planning a “terrorist act� in South Africa during the World Cup beginning June 11, al-Moussawi

told a news conference in Baghdad. He said al-Qahtani entered Iraq in 2004 and is suspected in several attacks in the capital and elsewhere in the country. In South Africa, a police spokesman said Iraq has not notified them of the arrest. “We have not received any official reports from them,� Vish Naidoo told The Associated Press. “Whatever arrest they made there, they know, we don’t know anything about it.�

US missionary convicted, but freed in Haiti PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) – The last of 10 Americans detained while trying to take 33 children out of Haiti after the Jan. 12 earthquake was freed Monday when a judge convicted her but sentenced her to time already served in jail. Laura Silsby, the organizer of the ill-fated effort to take the children to an orphanage being set up in the neighboring Dominican Republic, returned to her cell briefly to retrieve belongings before quickly heading to the Portau-Prince airport.

“All the nine appeals were accepted, and we were informed officially about this and now they have the right to join the parliament as lawmakers,� said the Shiite head of the committee, Ali al-Lami. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki narrowly lost the March 7 election to former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi, a fellow Shiite whose nonsectarian stance made him popular with the Sunni minority. But al-Maliki has challenged the results at every turn, by demanding a recount of votes cast in Baghdad.

BAGHDAD (AP) – An Iraqi court overturned on Monday a ban on nine newly elected parliament members who had been barred by a committee vetting candidates for ties to Saddam Hussein’s regime, clearing a major hurdle to forming the new government. The ban of the candidates, seven of them from a Sunnibacked bloc, was seen as an attempt to overturn election results that handed the Shiite prime minister a narrow loss and threatened to further delay what has AP already been a long, contenIraqi military spokesman Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, speaks during a news con- tious election process.

“I’m praising God,� Silsby told The Associated Press as she waited for a flight out of Haiti. She declined to answer further questions before clearing immigration and heading through a gate to catch a plane to Florida. The Idaho businesswoman had been in custody since Jan. 29. She was originally charged with kidnapping and criminal association, but those charges were dropped for her and the nine other Americans who were previously released.

planes fly for a limited time at higher ash densities than currently allowed. The rules – which go into effect Tuesday – are subject to airlines getting a guarantee from their engine makers that their aircraft can safely tolerate the ash. The body said that so far British budget carrier Flybe was the only airline that satisfied those conditions, but it expected other airlines to follow soon and European authorities to introduce similar rules. British air traffic control company NATS said the new rules meant that restrictions on British airspace could now be eased. Now Open for 24 Hours on Friday & Saturday’s

Kagan stepping aside as US solicitor general

ROBERT, La. (AP) – With BP finally gaining some control over the amount of oil spewing into the Gulf of Mexico, scientists are increasingly worried that huge plumes of crude already spilled could get caught in a current that would carry the mess all the way to the Florida Keys and beyond, damaging reefs and killing wildlife. Scientists said the oil will move into the so-called loop current soon if it hasn’t already,

WASHINGTON – Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan is stepping aside as solicitor general during her confirmation process. Kagan wrote a letter to the Supreme Court on Monday, saying her deputy, Neal Kumar Katyal, will serve as acting solicitor general in light of her nomination. Katyal was a co-counsel for former Vice President Al Gore in the Supreme Court election dispute of 2000.

Scam artists target eateries

WHO’S NEWS

----

BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – Scam artists apparently have targeted local restaurants posing as inspectors, according to health officials. A person who identified himself as James Sedric contacted a local restaurant recently to verify his “appointment” to inspect the restaurant. The restaurant contacted the Guilford County Department of Public Health. Local inspectors do not schedule visits. Food and Lodging Supervisor James Priddy verified the call did not come from a health department inspector and reported the incident to his boss, Tobin Shepherd, Environmental Health program manager. In other states, these “inspectors” have threatened restaurants with fines for alleged violations. “The important reminder for all food service establishments is that inspections of your facilities for grading purposes are unannounced,” Shepherd said. “We are asking that any calls or e-mails received from someone saying he or she is a health inspector and is calling to verify an inspection appointment, be reported to the health department as soon as possible.” Local inspectors do not impose fines during inspections. “The the objective (of the scam) may be to extort money by using public health authority,” Shepherd said. “We are there to ensure the facility is safe for food consumption, provide education to food handlers and post a grade for the public.” dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

Organizers cancel annual Denton event BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DENTON – Horse and Mule Days, a festival that’s an annual rite of fall for Denton, will not be back this October at the Denton FarmPark. Brown Loflin, owner of the Denton FarmPark, said he has decided to cancel the festival indefinitely. The two-day event, which took place Oct. 9-10 last year, had been held at the Denton FarmPark for 13 years. “One year we made money, about two or three we broke even, and we lost money the rest of the time,” Loflin said. “It seemed like the weather had just turned against us. “It rained (each year) for the last five or six Fridays in a row and rained some on Saturday. It was just a weather situation.” In addition to the weather, Loflin said the economy didn’t help the event because people “don’t have the horses they did before.” “We could never just get

it off the ground flying,” he said. Karen Miller, general manager of Denton FarmPark, said Horse and Mule Days had once attracted 6,000 to 8,000 people a year.

‘One year we made money, about two or three we broke even, and we lost money the rest of the time.’ Brown Loflin Owner, Denton FarmPark With the theme of horse and mules, the festival featured equestrian events, heritage demonstrations, bluegrass music, clogging and arts and crafts. Sagebrush, Sixguns and Rawhide, a group of North Carolina men who entertain train riders with a shootout,

also had appeared in recent years. “We’ve got people who enjoyed it, and we had to stop it, but sometimes you’ve reached a point where you have to,” Loflin said. “The other events were carrying that event. “We needed to take that money and the time that we were applying to that and try to do something that’s more beneficiary.” The Southeast Old Threshers’ Reunion and the Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver Bluegrass Music Festival remain strong events at Denton FarmPark, Loflin said, adding that last year’s first “Country Christmas Train” event did well for the first time at the park. “I just decided that we would apply our time in the fall of the year to the Christmas decorations,” Loflin said. “Maybe we could do more good that way and do more people good and do us more good.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

lead singer of the band Elf. From there, the spotlight grew, and in 1975, he became the first lead singer of Rainbow, the heavy metal band put together by guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, who had just quit Deep Purple. But there was another band that needed his help. In 1980, after Ozzy Osbourne left the hugely successful and groundbreaking metal band Black Sabbath, the band tapped Dio to fill his spot. He also enjoyed a successful solo career with his self-titled band, Dio, in between his three runs with Black Sabbath (198082, 1992, and 2007-09, when the band toured as Heaven And Hell, to differentiate it from Osbourne-led versions of Sabbath). “He possessed one of the greatest voices in all of heavy metal and had a heart to match it,” said Twisted Sister guitarist Jay Jay French, whose band toured with Dio since 1983.

Metal music legend Dio dies from cancer NEW YORK (AP) – Even as he endured grueling chemotherapy treatments to rid his stomach of cancer, Ronnie James Dio showed the fiery passion that made him a metal legend, flashing his famous devil’s horns signal as he lay in a hospital bed. “This hasn’t really been a problem for me. Cancer? I’ll kick the hell out of you,” declared Dio in March in an interview with KIAHTV in Houston. But on Sunday, Dio – whose famous wailing vocals gave Black Sabbath a second life – succumbed to the disease, at age 67. “Today my heart is broken,” Wendy Dio, his wife and a manger, wrote on the singer’s Web site. “Many, many friends and family were able to say their private goodbyes before he peacefully passed away.” Dio, who grew up in upstate New York in the town of Cortland, had his first taste of rock fame as the

Historic black cemetery in Triad gets recognition MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Linda Scales Dark pointed to a yellow silk rose tied to a tree and a line of rocks at her feet leading to her family plot. Dark created the markers to help guide her and other family members to the Scales family plot at

School psychologist under investigation found dead MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

MOREHEAD CITY – A former Carteret County school psychologist under investigation for alleged inappropriate activity related to nude photographs of minors was found dead Monday near his Morehead City home, police said. Johnny E. Clevinger, 52, was found lying partly in the roadway in a residential area still under development near his home at off North 20th Street, police Maj. Richard Abell said. Abell said there were no apparent signs of foul play, and an autopsy is being performed to determine the cause of death. “Clevinger’s death comes nearly a year after his May 19, 2009, arrest on charges of first-degree sexual exploitation of a minor and indecent liberties with a child. He had not been indicted and was free on bond as the investigation continued.

Dear It’s Complicated: There doesn’t appear to be anything wrong with the relationship. It has worked for seven years. What’s “wrong� may be that you’re afraid you have “settled� for someone who isn’t up to the standards of those in your professional circle. If you are happy, why do you feel you must live up

Dear Abby: I am a young, single mother of two girls. I work full time and I’m involved in my daughters’ lives. I go to all their school functions, coach their soccer team, serve as the Cookie Mom for Girl Scouts and volunteer for anything else I can manage to squeeze into my schedule, but I have a hard time making friends with any other moms. None of the other mothers wants to get to know me. I wait at the bus stop with my girls and the moms talk to each other, but not to me. I get a weird “vibe� from them, as if they think I’m too young to know anything. I try to join in, but it seems they really don’t care for me. I have friends my age, but they don’t have children. I want friends who have families because they face the same kind of issues I do. What can I do

to make these moms like me? – Friend-challenged in Cypress, Texas Dear Friend-challenged: There is no way to “make� someone like you, and if a clique has already been established, it can be difficult to break in. It is possible that because of your youth and single status you are perceived as a threat to them – but I do have a suggestion, and your youth can be an advantage. Start asking them for advice, and it’s possible they may take you under their collective wing. Dear Abby: What is the proper way to kiss after the wedding officiant says, “You may now kiss the bride�? Should the couple share a simple kiss, or can it be a little more intense? – Danielle in Tampa Dear Danielle: The wedding is a time to demonstrate eternal commitment, not unbridled passion. The kiss can be as intense as you like, as long as it doesn’t last more than six seconds, and doesn’t remove the bride’s lipstick.

riglycerides are a kind of fat found in the blood, and they are associated with cholesterol. Triglycerides come from the fat in foods we eat; they can be made in the body from other sources of energy. When we eat food, the calories that we don’t use right away are changed into triglycerides and stored in fat cells. Triglycerides are released in the body by hormones, between meals when energy is needed. A simple blood test called a “lipid panel� can be ordered by the doctor to check triglycerides. The recommendation, according to the American Heart Association, for a good fasting triglyceride level is less than 150 milligrams. When people regularly take in more calories than needed, triglycerides can be high, which can increase the risk of heart disease. High triglycerides may also be a sign of uncontrolled diabetes, kidney disease or hypothyroidism. People with high triglycerides can do several things to lower levels. Modest weight loss by reducing calories can improve lab results. Alcohol can significantly increase triglyceride levels, so reduce consumption considerably or avoid it all together. Eating sweets or drinking a lot of sugar sweetened beverages, such as sweetened tea, soda and fruit punch can also increase triglycerides in the blood. Water is the best beverage, along with unsweetened tea and low-fat milk. Try lowering transfats from margarines, fried foods and packaged foods. Reduce saturated fats by eating low-fat dairy foods and lean meats such as poultry without skin and fish. Choose fish that is higher in omega-3 fats, such as wild-caught salmon, herring, sardines, freshwater trout and pollock. Eat more fruits, vegetables and healthier fats such as olive oil and nuts. Another important lifestyle change that can help is to get moving. Exercise 30 minutes on most days of the week. Sometimes lifestyle changes are not enough to get the triglycerides into the recommended range, and medications along with diet and exercise may be needed, particularly if a person has existing heart disease. Make sure to get your triglycerides checked at least every five years and more frequently if you are older than 45 years of age with a family history or existing heart disease.

Then about a week before Christmas, I found myself unable to catch my breath. I felt like I was dying. I called an ambulance, and they took me to the hospital. They found blood clots in my lungs. I was put on blood thinners. It took 11 days to feel better. Is there a reason for concern because this happened too many times? What medicines can the doctors prescribe? – R.W.

Blood clots in the leg veins that are buried deeply in leg muscles can cause great trouble. Pieces of the clot or clots can break loose and be swept in the circulation to the lungs. A large clot in the lung – a pulmonary embolus – can cause the death of the part of the lung where it lodges, and, if really large, can cause the death of the involved individual. Causes of clots in the deep leg veins include recuperation from surgery, prolonged bed rest, old age and birth-control pills. Sitting for a long time in a car or airplane also promotes the formation of leg-vein clots. That’s why it’s important on a long car trip to take some walking breaks, and on an airplane to contract the leg muscles many times every hour or so. Those contractions keep blood flowing in the veins. Stagnant blood clots. You’re a relatively young man. Repeated epi-

sodes of legvein clots at your age are unusual. You might have a condition that disHEALTH poses you to forming Dr. Paul clots. Two Donohue of these ■■■ conditions are deficiencies of protein C and protein S, substances that keep blood in the fluid state. A similar condition is factor V (Roman numeral 5) Leiden, another protein that favors clot formation. Your doctors probably are checking your blood for these conditions. At any rate, doctors prescribe anticoagulants to prevent recurrent episodes of clot formation. People with repeat episodes have to stay on those medicines for a long time, some even for life. Dear Dr. Donohue: A topic that never gets much attention but should is pilonidal cyst. My son has been suffering for a year and a half with one. He has had two surgeries. The lower portion of the incision remains open and drains. He has wound care weekly for it. His frustration is unbearable. He wants to return to a normal life. He is 18, and from what I understand about this terrible disease, it targets young people. Any ideas you have would be appreciated. – M.C. The literal translation of pilonidal is “nest of

hairs.” It’s mostly but not exclusively a young man’s ailment. It happens to the skin in line with the buttock crease. Hair is driven into the skin and into the oil glands of that area. Sweating, extended sitting on hard surfaces and bouncing around on the unpadded seat of a vehicle promote formation of this kind of cyst. In World War II, it was a common problem for Jeep drivers, and got the nickname “Jeep driver’s illness.” The usual progression is that an infection starts with the initial introduction of hair into the skin. An abscess forms. It must be drained. If it doesn’t heal, drainage continues and creates a cyst. Surgery is the standard treatment. Often, as your son can testify, the first go-around doesn’t put an end to the trouble. Repeat surgery is necessary. One approach to resistant cases is to thoroughly clean the area and remove all dead tissue. Then the wound is covered with a dressing but not sutured. Healing takes two to five months. Your son has had a most unfortunate experience, and I don’t have a good answer for him. I wonder what I would do if I were in his shoes. I think I would get to a very large medical center for a second opinion. DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

TV chef pleads not guilty to attempted murder LOS ANGELES (AP) – A former television chef has pleaded not guilty to charges involving an alleged plot to hire homeless men to kill his wife. Juan Carlos Cruz, who hosted the Food Network show “Calorie Commando,” entered the plea Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court. Prosecutors charged him with attempted murder and solicitation of murder. The district attorney’s office says the 48-year-old chef offered money to two homeless men to kill his wife. Santa Monica police arrested Cruz on Thursday after one of the homeless men contacted the department.

US court grants asylum to Obama’s African aunt

Spacewalk hit by power outage; no danger CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) – A partial power outage at the International Space Station briefly interrupted Monday’s spacewalk, knocking out robotic camera views of the two astronauts as they worked to install a spare antenna. The outage happened two hours into the 71⁄2-hour spacewalk by Atlantis crewmen Garrett Reisman and Stephen Bowen. The space station’s main command-and-control computer suddenly crashed. A backup computer kicked in, but power temporarily was lost to some equipment, including the video monitors being used by the robot arm operator, Piers Sellers. Reisman was perched on the end of the space station’s 58-foot robot arm when Sellers lost his camera views. Bowen was working with connectors on the space station’s framework. Both were told to stop what they were doing. NASA said neither spacewalker was ever in any danger. In less than a half-hour, everything was back to normal, although the backup computer remained in charge. “Ah, much better,” Sellers said when his camera views came back. The spacewalkers had to contend with a tough connector and refas-

CLEVELAND (AP) – A U.S. immigration court has granted asylum to President B a r a c k Obama’s African aunt, allowing her to stay in the country and setting Onyango her on the road to citizenship after years of legal wrangling, her attorneys announced Monday. The decision was made by a judge in U.S. Immigration Court in Boston and mailed out Friday. It comes three months after Kenya native Zeituni Onyango, the half-sister of Obama’s late father, testified at a closed hearing in Boston. AP

Festival of storytelling brings performers to High Point, Greensboro BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

Q

uality storytelling will come to High Point this weekend, as the 6th Annual NC Storyfest begins to expand beyond Greensboro. The Healing Force, an energetic Winston-Salem troupe that combines African music, dance and storytelling, will kick off the free storytelling festival with a Friday evening performance at PennGriffin School for the Arts. “This is a wonderful, dynamic group – it will be a great show,” says Beth Sheffield, vice president of NC Storyfest Inc. The Healing Force consists of the husband-and-wife team of Joseph and Gail Anderson, who founded the troupe in 1975. Completing the group are the

‘And it’s not what people think it is. I was under the misconception that storytelling was just for children, and it’s not – it’s for everybody’ Beth Sheffield NC Storyfest Inc. couple’s daughter, Sonji Gardner, and their son, Karim. The Andersons acted with the AfroAmerican Folkloric Troupe and studied with the National Black Theater of New York. The Healing Force has performed at the prestigious National Storytelling Festival, the Bay Area Storytelling Festival, and at numerous schools, colleges, churches, museums, festivals and community events.

SPECIAL | HPE

Blues musician and storyteller Logie Meachum will perform Saturday in Greensboro. “Friday we’ll also have our featured tellers for Saturday there to introduce them to everyone,” Sheffield says. Those featured tellers are Leeny Del Seamonds, a master Cuban-American teller, and Logie Meachum, who combines storytelling and blues. Also performing Saturday will be Sandra Hughes, longtime news anchor for WFMY-TV, and several other veteran storytellers. “We started NC Storyfest six years ago, and it’s modeled after the National Storytelling Festival,” Sheffield says. “We started the festival to bring quality storytelling to our area. We have so many good

regional tellers with the North Carolina Storytelling Guild. Now we’re branching out into High Point because we really want to make this a regional festival.” The expansion into High Point actually began last fall with the NC Storyfest Inc.’s Youth Storytelling Collaborative, a youth development program funded by the United Arts Council of Greater Greensboro. The program provided storytelling workshops at area schools, with about 200 students participating. From those workshops, 13 Guilford County youths were selected to compete in the state storytelling competition coordinated through the Storytelling Arts Center of the Southeast, and five of those 13 won and will advance to the regional competition. The winners at the state level are Imani Nelson, Katie Wilson and Olivia Lawson from Millis Road Elementary School in High Point; Eva Raquel Jones from Ragsdale High School in Jamestown; and Aziza Ward from Guilford Early College (and formerly a student at Penn-Griffin). They will also perform during the festival Saturday. In addition, several storytelling workshops will be offered Saturday morning at the Central Branch of the Greensboro Public Library. Storytelling, once a form of communication, has evolved into an art form, Sheffield says. “One of the great things about storytelling is that it’s an intergenerational art form,” she says. “And it’s not what people think it is. I was taken to my first (storytelling festival) not knowing what to expect. I was under the misconception that storytelling was just for children, and it’s not – it’s for everybody.”

Bike to Work Day is Friday. On Friday, the Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation (PART) will allow anyone who rides a bike to the PART bus stop a free ride, encouraging people to ride their bike to work and also to promote the use of public transit. PART buses have a rack that will hold two bicycles. There is also room inside the bus for an additional bike. PART will have a refueling station and invite people to drop by for refreshments. On Wednesday, there will be a Ride of Silence. This is a silent, slow-paced bike ride to honor the cyclists who’ve been killed or injured while cycling during the past year. The following are safety tips for bicyclists: • Obey all traffic laws. • Always wear a helmet. • Wear a reflective vest at night, and have a blinking/solid red light as well as a head light. The law requires a front and rear reflector. • Bicyclists fare best when they are treated and behave like motor vehicles. Visit www. partnc.org/Bike toworkmonth. html for the calendar of events.

“Here’s a trick question,” my friend the English professor said. “Can you rearrange the seven letters in ’new door’ to form one word?” “Here’s another trick question,” I said. “How should South plan to win 10 of them at four spades?” The actual South took the king of hearts and cashed the A-K of trumps. When East discarded, South took the ace of hearts and ruffed a heart in dummy. He later led toward the K-Q of diamonds, but when East had the ace, South lost two diamonds, a trump and a club.

INADEQUATE One word described South’s play: inadequate. South must win the first heart with the ace and lead a club to try to set up dummy’s clubs. Suppose West plays low, and East captures dummy’s jack and leads another heart. South wins in dummy, ruffs a club, takes the top trumps, ruffs a heart and ruffs a club, dropping West’s ace. Eventually, South discards a diamond on the high queen of clubs. Puzzle: You can rearrange “new door” to form “one word.” They have the same letters.

Southwest trio is double trouble A

s it so often works out with twins, Ally and Meredith Davenport have been just about inseparable. They’ve played softball together. And basketball. Swimming. Taekwondo. You name it. “Everything,” Meredith said. Remarkably, the long list does not include joining Southwest Guilford’s varsity softball team at the same time. “Their freshman year I cut a girl from the team right after the SPORTS game – there was a conflict,” recalled Steve coach Jon ChamHanf bers, smiling at the ■■■ memory of what happened next. “Meredith was standing right there and I turned around and looked at Meredith and said, ‘You’re my new starting right fielder. Be there tomorrow at practice ready to go.’ “Ally got so mad. She wouldn’t talk to me for a week or two,” Chambers continued. “She was infuriated because her sister got picked and she didn’t. I could have taken either one of them, but Meredith was at the right place at the right time.” As sophomores, both sisters were key contributors during the varsity’s run to the quarterfinals of the 3A state playoffs. The next year, Jessica Becher joined them on the varsity, and the success continued for all three. Tonight they lead Southwest into the 4A playoffs at Southeast Guilford. Whenever their high school season ends, they’ll look for more success on college diamonds. Monday at the school, a signing ceremony celebrated the Davenports’ decision to play for Brevard College and Becher’s choice of attending Rhodes College in Memphis, Tenn. “They’re going to excel at the next level,” Chambers said. “These three, more so than any others, have possessed the most leadership qualities of any of the seniors we’ve ever had. They lead on the field, they lead by example, they lead by word, they lead by deed: They have all the bases covered.” Becher has pitched the last two

WOODS ADDS BRITISH OPEN TO HIS SUMMER SCHEDULE

---

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – Tiger Woods has added the British Open to his summer schedule. Woods has a chance to become the first player in the 150-year history of the British Open to win three times at historic St. Andrews, where golf’s oldest championship will be held July 15-18. He added the British Open to the schedule on his website Monday. Woods, who withdrew from the final round of The Players Championship on May 9 with a neck injury, also has the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and the AT&T National at Aronimink on his schedule. Woods has yet to enter the Memorial, where he is the defending champion.

She suffered through joint problems that included a knee cap popping out and – worst of all – “my shoulder was trying to dislocate when I pitched,” Becher explained. “Not good. Lots of physical therapy. It was rough, but I got through it. I think it made me stronger overall.” Becher earned conference pitcher of the year honors last season. This spring, she owns a 16-8 mark and the school record with 128 strikeouts. She’s also become a force at the plate, batting .466 with three doubles, a triple, one homer and 17 RBIs. Becher plans to pitch and play some outfield for Rhodes. She first heard about the small private school in the heart of Memphis at a showcase tournament, and after visiting the campus made the decision to join the NCAA Division III Lynx over the likes of Methodist, Washington & Jefferson, and Emory. “I loved the feel of the campus,” Becher said. “It’s also right beside the zoo, which is really cool

because I want to go into pre-vet. They have a really good biology program – and also a really good softball program.” Playing with the Davenport sisters was plenty of fun for Becher and her teammates. “They walk up and say, ‘Oh, we’re twins,’ and people think that they’re kidding,” Becher said with a smile. “Nobody ever believes us,” said Meredith. “Nobody believes we’re even sisters,” Ally added with a laugh. Ally stands slightly taller than Meredith, with blonde hair contrasting with Meredith’s dark locks. Ally played first base for the Cowgirls and Meredith center field. Both are fearsome slap hitters from the left side. Meredith, in the leadoff spot, sports a .500 batting average with 17 stolen bases and 14 RBIs. Ally, in the No. 2 hole, is hitting .534 with 11 steals, four doubles and 24 RBIs. She’s set a Southwest record with a 24-game hitting streak this year: a hit in every game for the 16-8 Cowgirls. “We’re always first and second in the lineup,” Meredith said. “If

I get on, she’ll get on.” Added Ally: “And if she gets hurt, I feel it. I make just as big a scene as she does.” The plan all along was to be a dynamic duo in college. “One school asked each of us would we consider going without the other and we said no,” said Ally, who plans to major in sports marketing. “We’re going to room together and everything.” Added Meredith, who plans to major in criminal justice: “We checked out ECU and Wingate to walk on, but ... they were all really welcoming (at Brevard) when we visited.” “We’ll fit in really well and the school’s a lot smaller,” chimed in Ally, “so we’ll get a lot better education, I feel like.” And both scholarship recipients should get plenty of playing time for the NCAA Division II South Atlantic Conference squad. As long as the Tornados’ coaches utilize their twins together from the start, it should be another fun run together. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

ACC, ESPN near $1.86-billion TV deal for football, hoops BY BRYAN STRICKLAND ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

DURHAM – The ACC appears to have scored a major victory for the financial future of its member schools, reportedly reaching a television deal that should double the amount of money that each receives from the invaluable revenue source on a yearly basis. The conference and ESPN have struck a 12-year deal for $1.86 billion, according to the Sports Business Journal. The deal, which combines football and basketball broadcast rights for the first time, dwarfs the ACC’s current deals that expire after the upcoming season. The league is finishing up a seven-year, $258 million deal for foot-

ball and a 10-year, $370 million deal for basketball that pays each member school approximately $6.2 million a year. The new deal averages out to $12.9 million a year to each school. The SEC still is setting the standard with its 15-year, $3 billion deal with ESPN and CBS that pays each school approximately $16.7 million a year, and Big Ten schools got roughly $15.7 million apiece in 2009, a figure that could change annually based on Big Ten Network profits and that presumably would go down if the league expands. The ACC deal, however, far exceeds current deals in place for the Big 12 ($6.6 million) and the Pac-10 ($5.3 million). The ACC’s current deal for bas-

ketball belongs to Raycom Sports while the football deal belongs to ESPN, with the networks paying each other for broadcast rights for select games. That relationship is expected to continue, although ESPN now has ultimate control over that process. What isn’t as clear is whether the league’s Sunday night basketball package with Fox Sports Net will continue. Several coaches, including Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, have been critical of the Sunday evening contests and the associated travel. Fox reportedly made a significant push to outbid ESPN for the new contract at the ACC spring meetings a week ago but came up short.

arion Jones hopes to get her athletic career back on track in the WNBA. Jones, who sparked the University of North Carolina to a women’s national basketball championship before winning three Olympic gold medals, saw it all unravel when she was convicted of lying to federal investigators and served time in prison. She was stripped of her five Olympic medals and banned from track and field.

She made mistakes, but she did her time and hopefully she’ll make the most of her athletic second chance. I wish Jones the best of luck with the Tulsa Shock. But whatever she does as a reserve performer in the WNBA, it’s not likely too many folks will notice. This struggling women’s professional basketball league is light years removed

from the spotlight of Olympic track and field glory. I imagine Jones knows her best sports moments are lodged deep in the past. But success in the WNBA, no matter how limited or unheralded, might help her exit the sports stage on a positive note. And that can’t be bad.

Sophomore Christina Fenske cleared an High Point University-record 1.78 meters (5 feet, 10 inches) in the high jump at the Tar Heel/Aggie Classic on Sunday at North Carolina A&T. Fenske’s previous best was 1.70 meters (5-7). “It was a great performance for Christina and she should qualify for the first round of the NCAA Championship with that height,” said HPU head coach Mike Esposito. “She competed at Georgia Tech on Saturday and cleared 1.70, and this was her last chance to qualify. We were looking for her to clear 1.75 and she went beyond that to 1.78.” Fenske will join Manika Gamble at the first round of the NCAA Championship May 27-29 at North Carolina A&T. Gamble will compete in the 400-meter hurdles.

Navratilova to play senior doubles at French Open

PARIS (AP) — Martina Navratilova has a tiring schedule lined up for the French Open — radiation therapy for cancer, playing in a senior doubles event and calling matches on TV for Tennis Channel. Navratilova says Monday that she is in her second week of treatments after being diagnosed this year with a noninvasive form of breast cancer and having a lumpectomy in March. She went public with her illness last month. “So far, so good,” she says. The 53-year-old Navratilova has been practicing at Roland Garros with doubles partner Jana Novotna ahead of the four-team mini-tournament they’ll participate in during the second week of the French Open. The clay-court Grand Slam event begins Sunday.

Halak’s confidence not shaken by early NHL Game 1 exit PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Jaroslav Halak hit the showers early in another playoff opener. If he rebounds the same way, the Montreal Canadiens will be just fine. The star goalie was pulled from a 6-0 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers after allowing four goals on 14 shots in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals on Sunday night. That won’t shatter his confidence, or worry his teammates and coaches. After all, it’s nothing new. Halak got yanked after giving up five goals in a 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh in Game 1 of the second round. He was dominant the rest of the series, and the eighthseeded Canadiens eliminated the defending Stanley Cup champions in seven games. “It wasn’t one of his better games,” Canadiens coach Jacques Martin said Monday. “I think he’ll recognize that, and not just him. I think it goes with our hockey team. I think last night wasn’t a good performance, and the result was there to show it. I’ve got lots of confidence, and his teammates have a lot of confidence in Jaro that he’ll be able to bounce back.” Halak entered this series with the best save percentage (.933) in the playoffs. He was the main reason the Canadiens stunned Presidents’ Trophy winners Washington and the reigning champion Penguins in the first two rounds to go deeper into the playoffs than they have since 1993, when they won the Stanley Cup a record 24th time. Halak stopped 131 of the final 134 shots he faced against the Capitals in the opening round. After his early exit against the Penguins, Halak allowed just 12 goals in the last six games. Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin each had one in the series. The Flyers, who overcame a 3-0 series deficit against Boston, could get more help soon. Injured forwards Jeff Carter (foot) and Ian Laperriere (concussion) both skated on Monday. Laperriere was cleared for contact, and general manager Paul Holmgren said the gritty forward is closer to playing. “Hockey players live to play hockey,” Holmgren said. “So I’m sure they’re both champing at the bit.”

Blackhawks stay hungry after Game 1 victory SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) – If there’s any team that should know how tenuous a 1-0 series lead can be in the NHL playoffs it’s the Chicago Blackhawks. The team that had to fight back after losing the opener to win the first two rounds finds itself in an unusual spot now, leading the Western Conference final 1-0 over the San Jose Sharks. “It’s a different situation than we’ve been in most of the time,” forward Patrick Sharp said Monday. “I don’t think it changes much. It’s not going to make the series any easier being up 1-0. If anything, it will just get more difficult as we go on. It’s a great opportunity to try to take both games in their building and that’s what we’ll try to do.” The Blackhawks,

in fact, had lost four straight series openers dating to last season before seizing the home-ice advantage by winning 21 in Game 1 at the Shark Tank on Sunday. They came back to win three of those series, only losing last year’s conference final against Detroit. While the Game 1 victory might take some pressure off Chicago heading into Game 2 tonight, coach Joel Quenneville wants to see the same level of desperation his team had in winning the second game in the previous two series after losing the opener. “I just think that we got to react like we shouldn’t be satisfied, we haven’t accomplished anything, and feel like we have to win that game,” Quenneville said.

Denmark advances to quarterfinals COLOGNE, Germany (AP) – Denmark reached the quarterfinals of the hockey world championship for the first time Monday, joining Canada and Finland in the final eight. Denmark advanced despite a 2-1 loss to Belarus, and Finland earned its spot with a 5-2 win over Slovakia. Canada moved on even though it didn’t play. Other results determined that the Olympic gold medal champion is guaranteed to finish ahead of Norway and Latvia in Group F. Russia, Sweden and Switzerland are already in the playoff rounds. The last two spots will be determined today. Denmark, which beat the United States in overtime in the first group stage for the biggest upset of the tournament, knew it had advanced after Slovakia’s loss in the first game of the day. The Danes went ahead 38 seconds in when Lars Eller sent a wrist shot past Belarus goalie Vitali Koval, but Denmark struggled to create scoring chances after that. Belarus had already been eliminated, but showed no sign of caving in. Andrei Stas responded late in the second period, and Mikhail Stefanovich scored the winner with a one-timer on a power play with 2:11 left in the third. Earlier, Finland scored three goals in a four-minute span midway through the second period to grab a 3-0 lead. Jussi Jokinen scored twice and Pekka Rinne made 27 saves for Finland, which improved to nine points after three wins and a loss in Group E. “It was another must-win game for us. We’ve had four of those now,” said Jokinen of the Carolina Hurricanes. “This is good for our self confidence.” Norway beat Switzerland 3-2 and the Czech Republic defeated Latvia 3-1. Slovakia can still reach the quarterfinals with a win over host Germany today. The Czechs will need at least one point against Canada to secure a playoff berth over Norway.

Duke, ASU, UCLA lead field at women’s golf tourney WILMINGTON (AP) – A pair of UCLA golfers polished off their practice round on the 18th green Monday when two Arizona State players joined them to putt a few balls. No intraconference hostility here: The Bruins greeted them with friendly waves. With so many Pac-10 teams coming together on the opposite coast this week, they might as well all get along. Six Pac-10 schools are in the 24team field at the NCAA women’s golf championship, which begins today. The event usually is dominated either by that conference or by Duke; since 1993, every national title but one has gone to either the Blue Devils or a Pac-10 school. “I think we’re really committed to excellence,” Sun Devils coach

Melissa Luellen said. “They’re really committed to their athletic programs. They’ve got great coaches. The weather’s pretty great on the West Coast. ... If I was a kid looking at schools, I’d look at the West Coast, for sure.” No women’s golf program has won more NCAA team titles than the defending national champion Sun Devils, who have seven. They’re joined here by top-ranked UCLA, Pac-10 champion Arizona, Southern California, Stanford and Oregon – making up one-fourth of the field that will take on the 6,368yard, par-72 course at the Country Club of Landfall. Coach Dan Brooks’ Blue Devils rank second with five championships, all since 1999, including three in a row from 2005-07. The Sun Devils return a strong

nucleus from the group that captured the school’s most recent national title. Three players who led Arizona State last year in Owings Mills, Md. – Juliana Murcia, Carlota Ciganda and Jaclyn Sweeney – are in Luellen’s lineup. UCLA enters the tournament ranked No. 1 in the coaches’ poll and by GolfStat and GolfWeek, but Forsyth downplayed that ranking, saying “it means zero, frankly.” The Bruins are chasing their third NCAA title and first since 2004 after finishing second in both 2008 and ’09. Eleven of the teams here this week played Landfall a few months ago during the NCAA Fall Preview. Duke finished at 17-over 881 for a one-stroke victory over Auburn and UCLA.

Local duo completes softball season at Guilford SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

GREENSBORO – Sophomore Shelby Bowser, who starred at Ledford, and freshman Lauren Clement, a Southwest Guilford product recently completed their 2010 softball season at Guilford College. Clement’s high school teammmate, freshman Rachel Hill, sat out the year with a knee injury. Guilford’s number-two starting pitcher, Bowser appeared in 24 games, starting 13, and compiled a a team- and career-best 10-3 record. Her 10 wins rank second in school history and fourth among Old Dominion Athletic Conference leaders through games of May 10. She posted a career-low 3.97 ERA in 93.1 innings and struck out 39 batters. Bowser pitched in relief a

team-high 11 times this season. She recorded her first career shutout against Meredith College Apr. 8, a five-hitter with no walks and two strikeouts. Bowser earned her first ODAC Pitcher of the Week Award on March 15 after she went 3-0 with a 1.68 ERA and helped extend Guilford’s six-game winning streak. She earned both wins in the Quakers’ sweep of conference-rival Bridgewater College on March 11, Guilford’s first softball wins over the Eagles in 19 meetings. In the opener of the doubleheader, she allowed only two runs and struck out four. In the nightcap, Bowser came in as a relief pitcher and allowed five hits, one run, and walked two as Guilford rallied to win. Clement appeared in 13 games and

made five starts in her rookie debut. She held a .385 batting average with five hits and one RBI. Her best performance came against ODACfoe Roanoke College on March 17 as she went one-for-one with an RBI in a pinch-hitting appearance. Fourth-year head coach Dennis Shores guided his club to a schoolbest 28-13-1 overall record and a 13-5 ODAC mark that tied for tops in the league. After a series of tiebreakers, Guilford earned its first top seed for the eight-team postseason tournament in Salem, Va. In addition, the Quakers received their initial NCAA regional ranking this year and set or tied 34 team and individual records. Shores expects as many as 18 letter winners back in 2011, including Bowser and Clement.

Magic face first adversity of playoffs ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – Play time is over. The trick shots that had become a ritual after Orlando Magic practices were gone Monday. So were the usual jokes and playful banter. They were small but telling signs of just how much has changed in the Eastern Conference finals after the Boston Celtics took home-court advantage, shattering the Magic’s playoff invincibility. Orlando will now have to overcome a loss for the first time in more than six weeks when the Magic face the resurgent Celtics in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals tonight. “It was a good wake-up call for us,” forward Matt Barnes said. “I can’t speak for everyone, but we may have been feeling ourselves too much. They kicked our tail last night, and now we have to get back to work.” There’s plenty on the agenda. The Celtics swarmed Dwight Howard from the open-

ing tip, with four different big men – Kendrick Perkins, Rasheed Wallace, Glen Davis and Kevin Garnett – all taking turns. Boston bullied its way past the Magic in punishing fashion. Howard was held to 13 points and 12 rebounds on 3-for-10 shooting. But he also had a game-high seven turnovers, some coming at the worst of times. Boston’s scrappy play in the paint, elbows and forearms constantly jabbing, frustrated Howard again. “I’m just playing him tough,” Wallace said. “The difference is I’m clean with it. Some guys who do that, they’re dirty with it. They’re walking under you when you’re shooting a jump shot. I’m just playing him tough. “I don’t do no dirty play. It’s just all tough.” The ripple effect allowed the Celtics to close out fast on the Magic’s potent 3-point shooters, who went cold – especially early when Boston went ahead by 20

– and never allowed to get in rhythm. Orlando shot 41 percent from the field and 22 percent from beyond the arc. The Magic, who swept Atlanta and Charlotte in the first two rounds, haven’t lost consecutive home games all season. They’re banking on that streak continuing heading into Game 2, or their hopes of redeeming last year’s NBA finals loss to the Lakers could be crushed. “You can’t allow it to happen again,” Howard said. While the Magic are trying to prove they can overcome adversity, the Celtics are looking to regain their knockout punch. Streaky for parts of the season, the Celtics have only now started to find the defensive prowess that carried them to an NBA title two years ago. They spent the season, hobbled by injuries, dazzling one minute and baffling the next.

With Prokhorov in front row, Nets seek draft lottery win NEW YORK (AP) – With their new owner sitting front row, the New Jersey Nets will have the best chance to win the NBA draft lottery. They could sure use the help. Mikhail Prokhorov will represent the Nets on stage Tuesday night in Secaucus, N.J., for the lottery, which his team has a 25 percent chance of winning after finishing with a league-worst 12-70 record. Kentucky freshman point guard John Wall is considered the top prize in this year’s class, with player of the year Evan Turner of Ohio State also expected to go high next month. “From my perspective, I think that we

are in a very good position. We’re going to get a really good player, so I’m excited about that,” Nets president Rod Thorn said. “You always want to get as high as you can, because the higher you get, the more leverage it gives you. We’re hoping for the best, but we do know that wherever we end up, we’ll get a good player.” The Nets can finish no worse than fourth. However, the lottery hasn’t been kind to the team that needs the most assistance lately. Not since 2004, when the Orlando Magic selected Dwight Howard, has the team with the worst record won the lottery. Last year, the Sacramento Kings tumbled to fourth – though they did end up

with eventual Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans. Thorn believes the lottery system works and has always been supportive of it, going back to when he worked in the league office, though he joked that, “Hopefully I won’t be upset tomorrow night.” The Minnesota Timberwolves (19.9 percent) and Sacramento (15.6 percent) are the other teams with high lottery probabilities. Golden State (10.4 percent) and Washington (10.3) round out the top five. The 14 teams that missed the playoffs are in the lottery. The lottery determines the top three picks, with the next

11 spots being determined in inverse order of a team’s record. The Timberwolves are in the lottery for the 13th time and have never improved their position, staying in the spot they were supposed to pick six times and falling six other times. Maybe that’s why Wolves president of basketball operations David Kahn was trying to downplay the importance of the drawing. Prokhorov, a billionaire from Russia, was approved as Nets owner by the NBA’s board of governors last week. The team will formally introduce him at a news conference in New York on Wednesday.

GM rides cuts to profit DETROIT (AP) – General Motors Co. rode expense cuts from its bankruptcy and strong sales of redesigned models to its first quarterly net income in nearly three years, drawing the company closer to a stock offering that would repay at least part of its government aid. The $865 million firstquarter profit is a dramatic reversal from the huge $6 billion loss in the same period last year. The last time the company made a quarterly profit was the second quarter of 2007, when it earned $891 million. The Detroit automaker said it made money because debt and other expenses

Washington Mutual revises Chapt. 11 plan DOVER, Del. – Bank holding company Washington Mutual Inc. has reached an agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation that puts WaMu closer to exiting Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The revised reorganization plan filed Sunday in Delaware bankruptcy court is based on a settlement involving the bank holding company, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and JPMorgan Chase Bank, which filed lawsuits against one another after the FDIC seized WaMu’s flagship bank in 2008 and sold its assets to JPMorgan for $1.9 billion.

Gas prices fail to meet oil’s drop NEW YORK – Oil prices continue to dramatically spiral downward. A decline in U.S. pump prices apparently will be more drawn out. Oil fell below $70 Monday for the first time since February due to concerns about the European economy and weakness in the euro. The price has dropped nearly 20 percent since hitting an 18-month high of $87.15 on May 3.

Man Group to buy GLG Partners NEW YORK – Man Group plc, the world’s largest publicly traded hedge fund, said Monday it’s acquiring GLG Partners for $1.6 billion in cash and stock. The combined company will manage $63 billion in assets worldwide. Shares of GLG soared $1.40, or 48 percent, to $4.32 in morning trading. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

were slashed by its stay in bankruptcy court, and because of strong new-model sales. It also generated higher revenue from growth in Asia and South America. The earnings of $1.66 per share from January through March are stunningly different from the first quarter of last year, when the largest U.S. automaker lost $9.78 per share as it skidded into bankruptcy protection. First-quarter revenue soared 40 percent to $31.5 billion. GM lost $3.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2009 on revenues of $32.3 billion, the company’s first full quarter out of bankruptcy protection.

Chief Financial Officer Chris Liddell was said it may be difficult to sustain the same level of profit for the remainder of the year because first-quarter production is usually higher than other quarters, with automakers ramping up for the spring selling season. “I’d still be reasonably cautious about the rest of the year,” he said. New models such as the Chevrolet Equinox small sport utility vehicle and the Buick LaCrosse luxury sedan lifted GM’s North American operations to a $1.2 billion profit, compared with a $3.4 billion loss in the year-earlier quarter.

Court rejects cable TV appeal WASHINGTON (AP) – The Supreme Court has declined to take up a challenge from cable television operators to the 18-year-old requirement that they carry local broadcast stations on their systems. The justices rejected an appeal Monday from Cablevision Systems Corp. The court upheld a federal “must carry” law, enacted in 1992 when cable TV systems faced much less competition than they do today. Cablevision, the nation’s fifth-largest cable TV operator, sued the Federal Communications Commission over its ruling that forced Cablevision to carry the signal of a distant home-shopping station on its Long Island cable systems. The fed-

eral appeals court in New York upheld the FCC’s determination. Cablevision said in court papers that “the monopolistic nature of the cable industry...has been replaced by vibrant competition.” The Obama administration urged the court to stay out of the case. It noted that being carried on cable systems “remains critical to broadcast stations’ financial viability generally.” C-SPAN, Discovery Communications and Time Warner Cable filed briefs in support of Cablevision. C-SPAN said 12 million cables homes lost all or some access to its programming when cable operators were forced to make room for broadcast stations in the 1990s.

Lowe’s net income rises NEW YORK (AP) – Lowe’s Cos. said Monday its net income rose 2.7 percent in the first quarter as people spent more money on home-improvement projects and bought more big-ticket items such as gas grills and riding mowers. The No. 2 home-improvement retailer raised its guidance for the year, though it fell shy of analyst expectations and shares fell. The company, based in Mooresville, N.C., said it earned $489 million, or 34 cents a share, in the threemonth period ended April 30. In the same period last year the Mooresville, N.C.,

company earned $476 million, or 32 cents a share. Revenue rose 4.7 percent to $12.39 billion. The results handily beat the expectations of analysts. According to Thomson Reuters, analysts expected the company to earn 31 cents a share on revenue of $12.24 billion. But shares fell on the outlook for the year, dropping 87 cents, or 3.3 percent, to $25.20 in morning trading Monday. Home improvement retailers have been hurting in the weak economy as shoppers cut back on their spending to focus on only essentials.

Stocks make gains after early drop NEW YORK (AP) – Stocks ended an erratic session little changed Monday after investors spent the day tracking the euro’s moves against the dollar. A drop and subsequent rebound in the euro steered the Dow Jones industrial average from a loss of 184 points at midday to a gain of almost 6 by the close. But three stocks fell for every two that rose on the New York Stock Exchange. Stocks and other assets seen as risky have been hit hard at times in recent weeks because traders have so many unanswered questions about how Europe will pull itself from its financial mess without hurting its recovery. Energy stocks, which make up about 10 percent of the Standard & Poor’s 500 index, dropped after oil prices fell. Shares of consumer staples companies, which are seen as safer bets in weak economies, rose. Peabody Energy Corp. fell 5.3 percent. Procter & Gamble Co., which makes Tide detergent and Gillette razors, rose 1.3 percent. Investors are questioning whether steep budget cuts in countries including Greece, Spain and Portugal will hinder an economic recovery in Europe and in turn, the U.S. “We need to quantify how much Europe can hurt us,” said Philip Dow, managing director of equity strategy at RBC Dain Rauscher in Minneapolis.

Germany calls for deficit cuts as euro slides BRUSSELS (AP) – Germany’s finance minister pushed eurozone nations to battle their currency’s slide by swiftly reducing their budget deficits and setting up an emergency bailout fund. Wolfgang Schaeuble said at a meeting of finance ministers from the 16 euro countries that reducing out-of-control deficits was “the only task that everyone has to fulfill for himself and for the common good.” The euro traded near fouryear lows Monday amid warnings from European leaders that a (€750 billion) $1 trillion loan backstop announced last week to prop up troubled governments would not be enough to de-

fuse the continent’s government debt crisis. The euro earlier fell to $1.2237 – its lowest since April 2006, undermined by the prospect of continuing fear and turmoil over the heavy government debt loads among its members. The shared currency has now fallen a staggering 12 percent over the past week despite the “shock and awe” financial backstop they agreed with the International Monetary Fund on May 10. The euro was trading 0.2 percent lower on the day at $1.2328 as finance ministers gathered in Brussels to try to restore confidence by showing that they will make the harsh cutbacks

needed to reduce their debt burdens. Schaeuble said that eurozone nations must make a reality the €750 billion ($1 trillion) rescue package they agreed last week, saying it had to become “credible in each member country” so that “what we agreed means something.” The fund initially calmed markets last week but has more recently failed to reassure them that European governments can reduce swelling debt levels. Eurozone finance ministers are holding their first talks on suggestions put forward by the EU executive to toughen the fundamental rules that govern their 11year-old currency.

China boosts holdings of US Treasury debt WASHINGTON (AP) – China boosted its holdings of U.S. Treasury debt for the first time in six months. That development could ease concerns that lagging foreign demand will force the U.S. government to pay higher interest rates to finance its debt. The Treasury Department reported Monday that China’s holdings of U.S. Treasury securities rose in March 2 percent to $895.2 billion, the first increase since last September. Total foreign holdings of Treasury securities

rose 3.5 percent to $3.88 trillion. The government reported that net holdings of long-term securities, which includes the debt of U.S. companies as well as government debt, rose $140.5 billion in March, the largest one-month gain on record. It surpassed the old record of a net increase of $135.8 billion in May 2007. The big increase was influenced by two factors: a flight to safety by investors increasingly worried about the debt crisis in Europe; and a rebounding

U.S. economy which has sparked greater interest by foreigners in purchasing U.S. corporate debt. Investors have grown nervous about the ability of Greece and other heavily indebted nations to repay their debt. Last week, European nations and the International Monetary Fund assembled a nearly $1 trillion support package to convince investors that their bond holdings are safe. But markets have remained nervous. Stocks slid Monday after the euro hit a fouryear low.

Homebuilder sentiment jumps in May LOS ANGELES (AP) – U.S. homebuilders are growing more optimistic about their fortunes, with many expecting improved sales and customer traffic in coming months despite the end of homebuyer tax incentives. The National Association of Home Builders said Monday its housing market index, which tracks industry confidence, rose three points this month to 22, the highest reading since August 2007. Readings below 50 indicate negative sentiment about the market. The last time the index was above 50 was in April 2006. Builders have seen sales and home orders improve this year thanks to low mortgage rates and two

government tax credits – $8,000 for new buyers and $6,500 for current owners who who buy and move into another property. The government incentives helped gin up home sales this spring as many buyers raced to purchase a home in time to qualify before they expired at the end of April. Without the tax credits, however, many experts anticipate home sales will slow in the second half of this year. In addition, high unemployment and tight mortgage lending continue to keep many buyers on the sidelines. Regardless, homebuilders polled in the May survey were hopeful the sales momentum will hold. “Builders are more com-

fortable that the market is truly beginning to recover, and that positive factors for buying a new home – low interest rates, great selection, stabilizing prices and a recovering job market – are taking the place of tax incentives to generate buyer demand,” said David Crowe, the trade association’s chief economist. Sales of new homes rose 27 percent in March, the biggest monthly increase in 47 years. Still, new home sales are down 70 percent from their peak in July 2005. The latest index of builder sentiment bodes well for May sales, however. The reading for current sales conditions jumped three points to 23.
