THOMASVILLE – The Thomasville City Council has turned down more than $100,000 to install signals and gates at a unprotected railroad crossing on Carolina Avenue. The City Council recently voted unanimously to not accept federal funds being offered through the N.C. Department of Transportation. The city would have had to provide an estimated $16,200 of the $162,000 project, but those costs could have changed after the design phase of the project, said Bryan Fulbright, Thomasville city engineer. The project, which had an estimated cost for annual maintenance of $1,290, would have installed gates and signals at the Carolina Avenue crossing, between Liberty Drive and Julian Avenue. Currently, Carolina Avenue only has signs to alert motorists of the crossing. The City Council voted to turn down the offer after a

In February, the committee also reached a consensus to deny the funds, Fulbright said. “It’s one of those things where there has never
been an accident there,” Councilman David Yemm said. “It’s just money that wasn’t necessary to spend. (DOT) is not making us. We would have had to maintain it.” The railroad, which serves High Point, Thomasville and Denton, has
two trains that come through daily, Yemm said, adding that the speed of the trains are not “all that fast.” In a memo to City Manager Kelly Craver, Jim Morrison, DOT crossing safety preconstruction engineer, said the city had
the choice of accepting or declining the project, but if the city declined the project, the DOT felt that the city may be subject to possible additional liability if an accident occurs at the crossing. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657
District leaders pleased with bond vote BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
GUILFORD COUNTY – Commissioners pleased school district officials last week with the approval of $16.8 million in school repairs. The Guilford County Board of Commissioners decided Thursday to use conventional financing to tap funds from the county’s 2010 allotment of Qualified School Construction Bonds to pay for 28 maintenance projects at 23 schools. By using low-interest certificates of participation, which are more like commercial loans or mortgages, commissioners will be required to hold a public hearing on the repair package. School officials asked commissioners to use a second installment of the federal stimulus bonds for repairs and maintenance. Last August, commissioners approved

Tim D’Annunzio, Republican congressional candidate for North Carolina’s 8th district, speaks at a news conference in Concord on Monday.
GOP tries to upend NC campaign backed by tea party RALEIGH (AP) – Republican officials are taking the rare step of trying to derail the campaign of one of their own candidates – a risky move for party leaders trying to harness the power of the tea party movement while not letting it grow beyond their control. Tim D’Annunzio, a congressional candidate in North Carolina’s most competitive district, has run an anti-establishment campaign with vows to dismantle entire branches of federal government. His ideas have drawn support from tea party activists, and he has raised more money from individuals than his GOP rival while also contributing more than $1 million to his own campaign. Republican leaders in both Raleigh and Wash-
ington, however, are worried about his candidacy as he heads into a primary runoff, exposing tensions between the
‘Mr. D’Annunzio has disqualified himself by his background, his record and his behavior.’ Tom Fetzer N.C. Republican Party chairman party’s core and the tea party movement on its outskirts. They’re publicizing court documents about D’Annunzio’s past legal, martial and business troubles and denouncing him as unfit for office.
“Mr. D’Annunzio has disqualified himself by his background, his record and his behavior,” said Tom Fetzer, North Carolina’s Republican Party chairman. He said the GOP embraces the tea party but doesn’t believe a person with such a checkered past should be the party’s nominee. In Hoke County divorce records, D’Annunzio’s wife said in 1995 that he had claimed to be the Messiah, had traveled to New Jersey to raise his stepfather from the dead, believed God would drop a 1,000-mile high pyramid as the New Jerusalem on Greenland and found the Ark of the Covenant in Arizona. A doctor’s evaluation the following month said D’Annunzio used marijuana almost daily, had been living with an-
other woman for several months, had once been in drug treatment for heroin dependence and was jailed a couple of times as a teenager. The doctor concluded that his religious beliefs were not delusional. A judge wrote in a child support ruling a few years later that D’Annunzio was a self-described “religious zealot” who believed the government was the “Antichrist.” The judge said he was willfully failing to make child support payments. D’Annunzio declined Monday to discuss the specifics of his past and refused to confirm or deny the details of the court documents. He acknowledged having “a troubled upbringing” but said he changed his life 16 years ago when he had a religious conversion.
Perdue: New highway projects fund needed RALEIGH (AP) – Mayors joined Gov. Beverly Perdue on Monday to urge the Legislature to create this year a dedicated fund to build urgent road and other transportation projects they say are needed to keep the state’s economic engines roaring in the decades ahead. Perdue wants the General Assembly to create the North Carolina Mobility Fund, which the governor said would generate up to nearly $300 million annually by 2013 through higher driver’s license fees, the end of a trade-in sales tax break on new car sales and shifting around other pots of money.

between Atlanta and points north. Work is about ready to start to replace the aging bridge by issuing bonds. “North Carolina values the safety of our businesses and the people who call North Carolina home and travel through North Carolina,” Perdue told reporters at a news conference. “It’s our obligation to make our traveling public safe.” A portion of Mobility Fund money also would go to interstate maintenance, city transportation projects and improving the state’s ports to attract industries that rely on shipping.

The governor said the Department of Transportation would use the fund to pay for efforts to ease congestion with projects of statewide Perdue significance. The current road-funding formula punishes regions that want to spend money on large projects, making them hard to accomplish. The fund likely would first be used to widen several miles of Interstate 85 close to the Yadkin River Bridge in Davidson and Rowan counties – a key shipping corridor

Randolph County up to an average county tax rate. Our responsibility is to fund the mandated priorities. Cutting services has consequences that can be worse than paying more taxes.” Randolph County currently has a tax rate of 55.5 cents per $100 valuation, compared to the average county property tax rate for 2010 at 61 cents in North Carolina, Massie said. Randolph County has the 34th lowest property tax rate of the 100 counties in North Carolina. If commissioners approve the increase in the proposed 2010-11 fiscal year budget, the county would have a tax rate of 64.6 cents per $100 valuation. Massie said the owner of a home valued at $150,000 would pay about $130 more in property taxes per year under the proposal. Under the current rate, that owner pays $832 per year. “We realize that the board is always reluctant to discuss a property tax increase,” Massie said. “In the past, we all expected revenue growth would help offset dependence on property taxes. Due to the severity of the recession, revenue growth coming from a recovering economy cannot be counted until it arrives.

“It will be many years before government revenues reach their previous levels, meaning departmental budgets and school appropriations will remain relatively flat until after we eliminate the use of fund balance to pay for recurring expenses. Property taxes are our only significant revenue source to correct this budget imbalance.” Building Providence Grove and Wheatmore high schools among other school projects in the county in recent years also has caused Massie to propose a property tax rate increase. The total cost for Wheatmore, Providence and other school projects has created a total debt of $77.5 million for Randolph County. The debt is being paid back over a 20-year period. “You can’t build two high schools without it impacting the property tax rate,” Massie said. “Here we are in the 201011 budget, the schools are built and along with new facilities goes operating costs.” Randolph County commissioners will hold a public hearing on the budget at 6:30 p.m. June 14. Adoption of the final budget is expected to be at 6 p.m. June 21.

Roberts said that it is not known why Bruce crossed the center line. “Mr. Bruce crossed the center line as both vehicles were coming to a curve,” he said. The other driver sustained minor injuries. The intersection was closed for about one hour Saturday after the accident and then re-opened. No charges have been filed at this time, Roberts said.

Linwood shooting leads to murder charge BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
Accused in UNC student’s death pleads guilty to state charges HILLSBOROUGH (AP) – A man accused in the shooting death of a University of North Carolina student body president pleaded guilty Monday to state charges, avoiding a trial and the possibility of a death sentence. Demario Atwater of Durham pleaded guilty at a hearing in Hillsborough to first-degree murder, armed robbery, kidnapping and other charges in the death of Eve Carson. In a plea agreement with prosecutors, Atwater agreed to life in prison without parole on the murder charge. “Although the punishment is very severe, we are grateful that it was a punishment that will allow him to live,� said Jonathan Broun, an attorney for Atwater, after the hearing. Orange County Superior Court Judge Allen Baddour paused several times while he delivered the sentence. He said the life sentence provided some measure of justice for Carson, who was 22, and her family. “I hope that you’ll take some solace in today’s events and recognizing the number of lives that your daughter touched,� Baddour told the family, who sat in the first few rows of the courtroom. Orange County District Attor-

Demario Atwater (left) is brought to the courthouse in Hillsborough. In a plea agreement with prosecutors, Atwater agreed to life in prison without parole. ney Jim Woodall cleared his throat continually as he described the anguish of the Carson family. “There aren’t any words that can describe how senseless and how tragic Eve Carson’s death is,� he said. “There’s nothing that we can do today that makes it any easier, that reduces their loss.�
Atwater had already pleaded guilty in April to several federal charges, including carjacking resulting in death and kidnapping. He is to be sentenced in federal court Sept. 23. His agreement with prosecutors is for a life sentence. During the hearing, Woodall reviewed what he said was literally a mountain of evidence against Atwater, who he said had made admissions to being involved with Carson’s murder to about a dozen people. As Woodall described Carson’s gunshot wounds, Atwater’s mother, Peggy Maybrey, could be heard sniffing and used a tissue. It was Atwater’s shot from a sawed-off shotgun to Carson’s right temple that killed the Georgia native instantly, Woodall said. Carson was found shot to death in a Chapel Hill neighborhood in March 2008, nearly a mile from campus. Her family issued a statement through Raleigh attorney Wade Smith. “Today’s outcome is neither adequate nor good, but the court’s acceptance of the guilty plea with a sentence of life in prison is consistent with the wishes of our family and honors Eve’s love of life and all people,� Smith said.

DAVIDSON COUNTY – A Linwood man has been charged in the shooting death of his roommate, said Davidson County Sheriff David Grice. Adam Courtney Hartley, 39, of 9051 S. N.C. 150, was charged with murder in the death of William Dean Sink Jr., 89. At 1:02 a.m. Sunday, the Davidson County 911 Center received a call concerning a shooting in the Churchland community. When deputies arrived, they found Sink lying on the living room floor. He was checked by deputies and paramed-
ics, who determined he was dead. At 3:39 a.m. Davidson County detectives arrested Hartley. He was being held Monday in the Davidson County Jail without bond. According to Grice, Hartley called police to alert them of the shooting. Deputies did obtain a weapon, Grice said. Grice limited his comments on the case, declining to say what led up to the shooting. Grice said a search warrant involving the case had been sealed. “It’s one that we have to be very careful on comment,� he said.
NC furniture makers join show in Iraq ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT
TRIAD – North Carolina home furnishings manufacturers are participating in catalog shows in Iraq, including one in Ramadi that began today and winds up May 27. David Brantley, senior business adviser for U.S. Department of State, explained that because “difficulties with electricity
and access to high-speed Internet make an online trade event impractical ... a catalog show makes a lot of sense for Iraq.� “The opportunity for Iraq’s government and business buyers and agents/distributors to view print catalogs from U.S. companies will, we believe, release a tidal wave of interest, enthusiasm and demand held
back by many years of isolation and conflict,� Brantley said. A “Made in USA� Catalog Show 2010 is scheduled for June 1-14. The U.S. Embassy and its Provincial Reconstruction Teams have invited U.S. companies to participate in a “Made in USA� catalog show during June in three Iraq cities: Basrah, Baghdad and Ramadi.
Brantley said furniture will play a major role in the shows, and Charles Greene of High Point, chairman of the North Carolina Furnishings Export Council, has encouraged state-based companies and other companies that participate in the High Point Market to take advantage of the opportunity in Iraq.

Why do we let creeps like Atwater even live? So this killer, who should be hanging from a gallows somewhere, is going to get life in prison instead of the death penalty? Now you know why the criminals don’t worry about killing people. They know that some bleeding heart lawyer will get a plea bargain for them so they won’t face the death penalty. How do we correct something like this? Someone like Demario Atwater, when there is no chance of a wrongful arrest, when they are found guilty, pass a law that lets them be taken from the courthouse and straight to Raleigh and sit them in the chair and drop the egg in the bucket under the chair. People say that the death penalty doesn’t deter crime, but if we started doing this, I’ll bet it will. This should be done to that other animal that was with him, also. Although I hate to call him an animal because that gives the animals a bad name. I’m not prejudiced, just against people like them and it doesn’t

According to The High Point Enterprise newspaper, two ‘Negro’ members of a Pope Field Army Air Team participated in the last half of a football game with High Point College on September 29, 1949.” To some, perhaps many, in the greater High Point community, the “facts” cited on the plaques may appear to be insignificant, but they are important threads in High Point’s historical fabric. The greater High Point community is indebted to the High Point Preservation Society, to High Point University for the roles they have played and especially to Glenn R. Chavis for his diligence in pursuing, collecting and sharing verifiable historical information about blacks in the development and growth of High Point that otherwise would be lost. These plaques are but two reminders of roles blacks have played in this community over its 151 years as a chartered city. Recognize that, in addition to his researching black history in High Point, Chavis also constantly is discovering and making available facts that improve our knowledge of the entire High Point community. We hope Chavis and the institutions with which he is building partnerships will continue to shed light on such contributions so that the history of the city might be more complete.

Some cuts in budget are justified reductions
I
’m as fond of proverbs and folk wisdom as the next person. But I don’t think that “an apple a day keeps the doctor way” suffices as an agenda for health reform, or that “penny wise, pound foolish” is a sufficient guide for managing one’s investment portfolio. Unfortunately, more than a few politicians and activists seem to think that the familiar saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” constitutes not just a vague endorsement of prudence but also a statistically valid prediction. Thus they’ve convinced themselves that it would save taxpayers money in the long run for government to spend more money in the short run – be it on crime prevention, early childhood education or preventive health care. It all sounds reasonable in theory. In the real world, though, the savings usually don’t materialize. North Carolina’s recent, painful experience with “preventive” home-health services serves as a case in point. In the N.C. Senate’s new budget plan for the 2010-11 fiscal year, lawmakers are proposing to cut tens of millions of dollars from Medicaid expenditures on in-home “personal care services.” Right now, vendors currently assist some 40,000 Medicaid patients with such daily needs as dressing, eating or going to the bathroom. If something like the Senate budget becomes law, only about 5,000 North Carolinians will receive this level of in-home care. Patients are upset. Private vendors are very upset. And the usual apologists for government giveaways are issuing the usual predictions about how taxpayers won’t end up saving money in the long run because the recipients previously receiving in-home services will end up in far-costlier institutions. Experience and common sense tells us, however, that such cases will be rare. Most
of the Medicaid patients who will no longer be eligible for in-home services were never at significant risk of institutionalization in the first place. The problem stems from two related phenomena. The Prevention Myth is the previously OPINION mentioned idea that spending money on the front end always John or usually saves much more Hood money on the back end. The ■■■ Woodwork Effect is the tendency for reforms, whatever their immediate efficiency gains, to make services so much more attractive to potential beneficiaries that increased enrollment and utilization swamp any savings. In this case, the evidence is convincing that personal-care services have been overutilized. Only a tiny percentage of current recipients are so severely disabled and lacking in family support that they truly can’t function without daily in-home care. It was reasonable for the Perdue administration to tighten eligibility for these services last year, and for the Senate to propose replacing them this year with a more targeted program. The Prevention Myth and the Woodwork Effect aren’t always present. There are some government interventions – typically lowcost, well-targeted programs – that do indeed pay for themselves in foregone future expenses. But not many. The program the Senate now wants to end isn’t one of them. Sometimes a budget cut is just a budget cut – a necessary action that saves money, regardless of how loudly the affected parties object.

Gunmen kill newly elected Iraq official
JERUSALEM – Israeli President Shimon Peres on Monday categorically denied a report that he offered nuclear warheads to South Africa in 1975, when he was defense minister. The report published Sunday in the British newspaper The Guardian is based on an American academic’s research and claims to cite secret minutes of a meeting Peres held with senior South African officials. Peres said Israel never negotiated the transfer of nuclear weapons to South Africa.

BAGHDAD (AP) – Gunmen in northern Iraq killed a newly elected lawmaker from a Sunni-backed list that narrowly won Iraq’s March elections, officials said, in a slaying certain to rattle the fragile political system. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the Sunni lawmaker’s allies in the Iraqiya coalition said Monday’s shooting was politically motivated. His death, in the former insurgent hotbed of Mosul, was sure to further destabilize Iraqi politics, as the country’s leaders continue to haggle over the makeup of a new government nearly three months after a parliamentary election. A spokesman for the Iraqiya list said Bashar Mohammed Hamid Ahmed was killed in a drive-by shooting as he was on his way home, making him the first lawmaker to die since the March 7 election. “We condemn this criminal act. The mo-
tivation of this killing is purely political after the outstanding victory achieved by Iraqiya in the elections and it is part of the vicious scheme carried out by some groups that want to keep anarchy in this country,� said Osama al-Nujaifi.

RIO DE JANEIRO – A magnitude-6.5 earthquake has hit deep below Brazil’s Amazon region, but no damage or deaths have been reported.

WASHINGTON (AP) – More U.S. forces are serving in Afghanistan than in Iraq, the Pentagon said Monday, a first since the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq and a reflection of the new primacy of the nine-year Afghan war.

Feds: Government can’t push BP aside on oil spill COVINGTON, La. (AP) – The Obama administration’s point man on the oil spill rejected the notion of removing BP and taking over the crisis Monday, saying the government has neither the company’s expertise nor its deep-sea equipment. “To push BP out of the way, it would raise the question, to replace them with what?� Coast Guard Commandant Thad Allen, who is heading the federal response to the spill, said at a White House briefing. The White House is facing increasing questions about why the government can’t assert more control over the handling of the catastrophe, which unfold-
ed after a BP offshore drilling rig blew up April 20. All of BP’s attempts to stop the leak have failed, despite the oil giant’s use of joystick-operated submarine robots that can operate at depths no human could withstand. Millions of gallons of crude are now coating birds and other wildlife and fouling the Louisiana marshes. BP is pinning its hopes of stopping the gusher on yet another technique never tested 5,000 feet underwater: a “top kill,� in which heavy mud and cement would be shot into the blown-out well to plug it up.

He said the only capital outlay requests for next year were $150,000 for renovation costs at the jail and a $35,000 replacement vehicle requested by Randolph County Emergency Services.
In addition, there is no increase for current expenses for public schools, Massie said. There also is no increase for Randolph Community College because the college will have proceeds from a sales tax increase that was recently passed by Randolph County voters. The budget also includes no cost-of-living adjustments and merit increases for county employees. “Unfortunately, there is no pay plan adjustment included in the proposed budget,” Massie said. “Our employees understand

Rex Gallimore THOMASVILLE – Mr. Rex Gallimore, 87, a resident of 5021 E. Holly Grove Road, son of the late Seaph and Mary Alice Snider Gallimore, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, May 22, 2010. Rex, who was born in Randolph County, February 25, 1923, was owner of Rex Gallimore Plumbing Company for nearly twenty years and was very well known around Thomasville. For the next 27 years Rex was an instrumental figure of Davidson Water, Inc. and was responsible for tasks such as elevated tank inspection as well as operation and maintenance of more than 60 pumping systems. He retired from Davidson Water, Inc. in 1998. Rex was not only an employee of Davidson Water, Inc., he was a founding member and board president of the non profit previously known as East Central Water. He almost single-handedly obtained the signatures of 3,000 families desiring water service in the late 1970’s. East Central Water later became Davidson Water, Inc. He supervised construction of the initial piping project. His efforts earned him an employee spot with the company, and later on, recognition as North Carolina Rural Water Association State Employee of the Year in 1994. Wherever there was a water break, be it noon or night, he was usually the first one to arrive and get the valves turned off and the leak fixed. Davidson Water, Inc. was not the only place that Rex left his mark. He was also well known in the community for his volunteer efforts. His volunteerism included Commissioner of the Little League Baseball team in the Fair Grove-Pilot area. He also served as a past member of the Fair Grove Lions Club and held a variety of offices including Fire Chief at Fair Grove Fire Department. He served
Tote won’t take mental health post RALEIGH (AP) – The state’s troubled mental health system faced another setback Monday when an advocate for the mentally ill named last week to run the agency withdrew from the post due to a flap over some tax problems at the group he ran. John Tote, who until recently was the executive director of the Mental Health Association in North Carolina, and Health and Human Services Secretary Lanier Cansler announced that he won’t become the next state mental health director. Tote’s departure came on the same day he was slated to report to work for the state.
in the U.S. Army and also supported the cause of the American Red Cross by donating 10 gallons of blood throughout the years. Some of his volunteer efforts carried over to his house where thousands of Christmas lights blanketed the front yard each year. Families enjoyed stopping to view the lights and to visit with Santa Claus as part of their Christmas celebration. Rex was preceded in death by his first wife, Mozelle Foust Gallimore; two brothers, Boyd Gallimore and Aster Gallimore. Survivors include Rex and Mozelle Foust Gallimore’s daughters, Jean Hege and her husband Mike of Thomasville, Debbie Slack of Florence, SC, and Rex Gallimore’s second wife, Edith Rider Lambeth Gallimore of Thomasville.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Paul Gray, the bassist for Grammywinning metal band Slipknot, was found dead Monday in an Iowa hotel room, police said. A hotel employee found Gray, 38, dead in a room at the Town Plaza Hotel in Urbandale, a suburb of Des Moines, police said Gray in a statement. Foul play isn’t suspected. An autopsy is planned for today. Amy Sciarretto, a publicist at the band’s record company, Roadrunner Records, confirmed Gray’s death but declined further comment. Most of the band’s members grew up in the Des Moines area. Known for its grotesque masks, the band won a Grammy in 2006 for best metal performance for the song “Before I Forget.”

Girl dies from injuries sustained in wreck with state trooper 11:44 a.m. Sunday when Allmond’s burgundy Honda Accord, traveling north on the interstate, turned left into the path of Trooper J.D. Goodnight’s vehicle, which had just turned around to chase a speeding vehicle identified as a blue Buick Skylark. The four were reportedly heading home from church. Family members have questioned whether Goodnight had turned on his siren during the chase. The Highway Patrol said witnesses of the crash confirmed the trooper’s flashing lights were on. Goodnight was treated and released Sunday and has been placed on paid injury leave. A Highway Patrol accident reconstruction team is investigating the incident, Ingram said. The Highway Patrol is searching for the driver and passengers of the Buick, which troopers say was occupied by four black males.

South Carolina Rep. Nikki Haley, R-Lexington, speaks as Rep. Gresham Barrett, R-S.C. (left), and State Sen. Robert Ford, D-Charleston, look on during a forum at the Carolina First Center in Greenville, S.C., Monday.
SC governor hopeful denies blogger claim of affair COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – Tea party favorite Nikki Haley, a Republican candidate for governor whose campaign gained momentum with recent endorsements from Sarah Palin and Jenny Sanford, vehemently denied allegations Monday that she had an inappropriate relationship with a political blogger several years ago. Haley, a legislator vying to become the state’s first female chief executive and replace disgraced Gov. Mark Sanford, called the claim posted on the blogger’s site Monday a smear. She questioned the timing two weeks before the primary, saying it was an attempt to derail her campaign, once considered a longshot. And she called on primary opponents to renounce the tactics. “I have been 100 percent faithful to my husband throughout our 13 years of marriage. This claim
against me is categorically and totally false,� Haley, a 38year-old mother of two, said in a statement. “It is quite simply South Carolina politics at its worst.� Folks The claim came from Will Folks, a conservative blogger who previously served as Sanford’s spokesman. Folks said the relationship took place in 2007 when he did communications work for Haley, including writing speeches and news releases. He offered no proof of it and refused to go into any details. “I’m not going to paint pictures,� he said in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press on the condition his statements would not be published before the allegation was posted on his blog early Monday.
Folks pleaded guilty to criminal domestic violence in 2005 and left the Sanford administration around that time. He is now a political consultant and runs FITSNews.com, a conservative site that features occasionally insightful commentary, thinly sourced stories of state political intrigue and photos of women in bikinis. Folks’ allegation comes nearly a year after the governor famously vanished from the state for five days, reappearing from a trip to Argentina to admit to an affair with a woman he later called his “soul mate.� The scandal ended Sanford’s marriage and led to calls for his resignation. He is term-limited and leaves office in January; in years past he had backed Haley’s political aspirations, and his exwife campaigned with her earlier this month.

Licensed tax professionals come with different titles
D
ear Abby: Regarding your column of April 12, 2010, and the letter about the man who refuses to file tax returns, your answer was only partially correct. In addition to enrolled agents, tax returns are also prepared by other licensed professionals. Certified public accountants are regulated by the various states and do a great deal of tax preparation. Some tax attorneys may prepare income tax returns. The failure to file a tax return could be a crime, in which case the individual would need a tax attorney to represent him in trying to avoid a jail sentence. Communications to tax attorneys may be covered by the attorney-client privilege. In addition, there are practitioners who are qualified both as attorneys and as CPAs. While many enrolled agents may also be CPAs, or even attorneys, you should not have restricted your recommendation to enrolled agents only. – Sydney S. Traum, Jd-cpa, Miami Beach, Florida. Dear Sydney: My thanks to you and the countless other CPAs and attorneys who wrote to correct me. I apologize for the omission. After wading through the tidal
wave of mail, I contacted the National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA) for ADVICE clarification and Dear was told: Abby “There ■■■are many outstanding tax practitioners who are attorneys or CPAs, some of whom are members of NAEA. We do not wish to imply in any way that they are less qualified or capable in the field of taxation. We just want to call attention to the profession of enrolled agents and let the public know that they are the only tax practitioners SPECIFICALLY licensed by the Department of the Treasury.� Readers, I hope this straightens out any confusion. Read on: Dear Abby: I was intrigued by the letter from the woman whose boyfriend has refused to file tax returns for eight years. In addition to the civil ramifications of refusing to file the tax return as articulated in your response, it is a federal crime not to file one. An individual who has the requisite income is punishable for up to
three years in prison for failure to file a tax return for each year in which he or she is responsible for filing one. Additionally, it can be construed by the government as tax evasion, for which the maximum penalty includes five years imprisonment for each year in which the tax is evaded. – Dennis C. Kainen, Miami Beach, Florida Dear Abby: My 12-year marriage to someone just like the man in that letter became a financial disaster. Even though I did file separately, I co-signed home, car and credit card loans with him. It has taken me more than 10 years to regain my good credit and restore my dignity. If she does marry him, he will display immaturity in other areas – as a husband, a father, an employee – and she will look back (as I did) and realize what a horrible mistake she made. She should not ignore this important signpost! Please warn her to wake up before it’s too late.– Been There, Done That, Rochester, New York DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Trial for 1972 murder on hold $
BBQ Sandwiches ches
JACKSONVILLE (AP) – The trial of a 57-yearold former small-town police chief accused of killing a Marine 37 years ago in North Carolina is on hold. The Daily News of Jacksonville reported Monday that a juror was in the hospital. The jury had been in deliberations since Friday. Superior Court Judge Ken Crow postponed the trial until this morning to determine how long the juror would be away. George Hayden faces murder and conspiracy charges for what prosecutors say was an ambush triggered by a love triangle involving William Miller’s wife. Crow dismissed the conspiracy charge last week after he ruled the state lacked evidence. The case remained unsolved until Miller’s sister contacted a newspaper reporter looking into cold cases. The resulting investigation found new information.

ost people buy shoes for reasons such as brand name, style or affordability. There is more to buying shoes than how they look. Each shoe is specifically designed for a purpose and foot type, and finding the type of shoe to fit your foot properly is more important than many people think. Twenty-five percent of the bones in your body are in your feet. If any of these are misaligned, your entire body could be affected. You might not even feel that you have a foot problem, but it can cause knee, hip, low-back, shoulder and neck problems. It can even cause headaches, stomach aches, emotional stresses and physiological changes. It is important to know what type of shoe is best for you. Either going to a specialty shoe store with knowledgeable employees or seeing a podiatrist can save you a lot of future pain. There are a few key points to finding the proper shoes. A good shoe will have laces to fit your foot properly, heel and good arch support and proper width and length. Your toes should not touch the front of the shoe; the foot width should not hang over the sides of the shoes; and the heel should not be higher than medium height. Shoes get worn out and need to be replaced, not just when they are dirty and the bottom of the soles are worn and falling off. Shoes are designed with a limited life. Most sneakers are made to last 300 to 500 miles. That means if you exercise three to five times per week, you should replace your sneakers every six to eight months. In general, your sneakers wear out before they even look like they have. The cushioning and support systems of your shoes are the first to go and the most vital. Our feet are far more complex than we know. The feet are our base of support and strength. Like many other things, if there isn’t a strong foundation, it’s only a matter of time before everything else comes falling down. This column only touches on how complex and important our feet are to our well-being.

Hepatitis B stays active in some people for life
D
ear Dr. Donohue: I would like to know the course, prevention and treatment of hepatitis B. Is this illness active inside the human body for life? – M.M.
BLONDIE
Hepatitis B is an enormous worldwide problem with approximately 400 million humans infected with this virus. Half a million people die from it yearly. In the United States, about 1.25 million people carry the virus. The initial infection with the virus has signs and symptoms that are similar to all causes of hepatitis (liver inflammation): nausea, vomiting, fatigue, headache, temperature elevation and a yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes. However – and this is an important piece of information – many infected patients develop no signs and symptoms, and never realize that they have been infected. Later in life, they are told they have been infected with the virus because of abnormal lab tests. The hepatitis B virus stays for life in the liver of 10 percent to 15 percent of those it infects. Some of these people eventually will develop liver cirrhosis or liver cancer. Treatment is available. If patients have ongoing liver damage and if the virus is detected in their blood as well as in their liver, these people are in need of antiviral drugs. Seven such drugs are

obtainable. There definitely is help for the chronically infected hepatitis B patient. PrevenHEALTH tion in the form of a Dr. Paul vaccine is Donohue possible. ■■■ All infants now receive the hepatitis B vaccine. Since the vaccine has been in wide use, a 90 percent drop in the infection rate has occurred in the U.S. Adults who have missed out on childhood vaccination should be vaccinated if they are at high risk of catching this illness. Having many sexual partners, men who have sex with men, needle-using drug users, sexual partners of an infected person and health-care workers are considered to be at risk and should get the vaccine. Dear Dr. Donohue: Three years ago, at the age of 14, my granddaughter had StevensJohnson syndrome. She broke out in blisters all over her throat and lips. She was rushed to the children’s hospital and was admitted to intensive care. Please advise me of this illness and what precautions my granddaughter should take. – H.H. Thankfully, StevensJohnson syndrome is a rare occurrence. It’s a reaction mostly to
drugs like penicillin, erythromycin, quinolone antibiotics, sulfa, some epilepsy drugs and even the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs that everyone takes – Advil, Aleve and Motrin. Less often, an infection triggers an outbreak. Purple spots cover the face and trunk, and they fuse into patches that eventually become blisters. The involved skin sheds. Ulcers appear in the mouth and on the eyes. The liver, kidney and lungs can be affected. Treatment is carried out in a burn unit or an intensive-care unit. Your granddaughter must, as I am sure her doctors emphasized, avoid a repeat exposure to the culprit drug. She should wear a bracelet warning everyone not to give her that drug. It sounds like she weathered the storm well. Dear Dr. Donohue: I have read various articles concerning the danger of cooking with aluminum cookware. What is your opinion on this matter? – G.B. Let me give you the opinion of experts. The World Health Organization, the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Institutes of Health all say that aluminum cookware is safe. It releases very little – insignificant – amounts of aluminum into foods. I don’t hesitate to eat food cooks in aluminum pots or pans.

Sharon Kearns’ painting, titled “Today’s Catch,” was chosen for the poster promoting the North Carolina Seafood Festival in Morehead City.
Seafood scene High Point native’s painting selected for state festival poster BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER
M
ore than two decades ago, Sharon Kearns took a gamble at The High Point Enterprise, and it continues to pay off for her. Kearns, a Concord artist – and High Point native – was recently selected as the official North Carolina Seafood Festival poster artist. Her painting “Today’s Catch,” will be featured on all posters advertising the annual festival, and the original painting will be displayed on a tour of several coastal cities. “This was a really big deal for me,” says Kearns, 48. “For the past 25 years or so, I’ve been following the artists who were selected every year for this honor. Just to think I would be considered among the artists that have been so monumental in this state is a big deal for me. It also gives credibility to my work, because I don’t have any kind of formal art background.”
Kearns, a 1979 graduate of High Point Central High School, says she’s always been creative, but she’d never really given art a try until afKearns ter college, when she worked as an advertising account executive for the Enterprise. “I went to the advertising director, who at the time was Bob Lindsay, and asked if he would let me try being a staff artist, and if I didn’t like it, could I still come back to sales,” Kearns recalls. “Well, it turns out it was the best job I ever had. It was like being paid to play golf – it was so much fun.” Family moves eventually prompted a career shift back to sales, but Kearns built a freelance portfolio of graphic design and illustration projects. It wasn’t until seven or eight years ago, when Kearns painted a coastal scene for her sister,

Suzanne Bland, that she realized her artistic abilities included painting. “When I finished, I was so amazed at the outcome of my efforts that I ended up painting something else, too,” Kearns says. One thing led to another, and she eventually gave up her day job to become a fulltime artist. While much of her work reflects her love of small towns, historic buildings and sprawling landscapes, one of her favorite subjects is the coast, which led to
her interest in the North Carolina Seafood Festival’s poster artwork competition. Her winning entry, “Today’s Catch,” is an acrylic on canvas that depicts a seafood market from yesteryear. “The idea came from my daughter’s fiance, and at first I dismissed the idea, because those old seafood markets don’t even exist anymore – they’ve all been kind of cleaned up,” Kearns says. “But the more I thought about it, the more I liked it. The painting is almost like a collage of all my memories from childhood of what those markets used to be like.” And apparently, Kearns adds, that’s what appealed to the committee that selected her painting. “It’s an idea that hasn’t been used very often, and the committee liked it for that reason,” she says. “It’s representative of a time that is quickly becoming a part of the past.” jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Tuesday, May 25, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Lauryn Hill, 35; Anne Heche, 41; Mike Myers, 47; Leslie Uggams, 67 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Put effort into your professional advancement. Don’t take on a responsibility that will eat up your time, leaving little chance for you to follow your dreams. Keep things simple with strategy, organization and precision. Don’t let a sudden change disrupt your plans, especially when dealing with home improvement or family time. Your numbers are 6,13,23,27,30,31,42 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Stop worrying about what has already taken place and prepare to put an end to the negativity. Letting matters escalate now will lead to a situation that cannot be reversed. Pleasing everyone will not be easy but can be done if you are willing to compromise. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Go after your personal and professional goals. Business prospects are favorable, so stay focused. You don’t have to share your recipe for success; being mysterious will attract more interest. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Enhance your appearance or check out someone who interests you personally or professionally. Make some changes to your home or surroundings that will help you become more productive. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): As long as you stay in control, you will avoid any mistakes or upsetting results. Love is in a high cycle, so do everything you can to enhance a relationship that means a lot to you. Push for greater security and comfort and you will find the happiness and the stability you desire. ★★★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be upfront about the way you feel and you will gain popularity. Being accommodating and generous will help you get along in a hostile environment. Listen to complaints and you will find solutions. ★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you have a good idea that can potentially make you extra cash, implement it immediately. Put your ideas on paper and you will be able to drum up the help and support required to make your dream come true. Love is in the stars. ★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Avoid any sort of conflict. Getting into a senseless dispute will take its toll and may cost you emotionally. The sympathy you get for handling whatever you face gracefully and without malice will help you win in the end. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Get out with friends or your lover and discuss some of the ideas you want to pursue. The feedback you get will enable you to move quickly toward a goal that may have seemed impossible in the past. Love is looking positive. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Money, property and living up to the promises you have made will all lead to a better day and good results. Do your best and you will be privy to information to enable you to make financial plans or investments for future security. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You will get the best results if you speak from the heart. Investing in something that is practical and serviceable will lead to greater income. A love relationship can be enhanced with additional affection and a commitment. ★★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Look at all the angles. Pleasing the one person who has been in your corner all along will be important if you don’t want to jeopardize your relationship. Don’t mistake kindness for love. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You don’t have to get everything done all at once. As long as you begin to chip away at your to-do list, you will make progress. Financial or medical matters will take a favorable turn if you address the agencies or institutions holding information pertinent to your situation. ★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
The play in today’s deal reminds me of a press release by a computer maker: “As far as we know, our computers have never made an undetected error.” At six hearts, South took the king of spades and cashed the K-A of trumps. When West discarded, declarer shrugged and let the queen of diamonds ride. The finesse worked, and South claimed the slam. Do you detect any errors in South’s play?
MISPLAY It doesn’t take a detective to see that South misplayed. He should take the king of clubs at Trick Two, lead a trump to dummy’s king and ruff a club. He gets back to dummy by ruffing his ace of spades and ruffs a club. When both defenders follow, South cashes the ace of trumps. He concedes a trump to East’s queen, ruffs the spade return, goes to the ace of diamonds and discards his last two diamonds on the ace and nine of clubs. The clubs will break 43 about 62 percent of the time. If they broke badly, South could still hope for
good luck in trumps or diamonds.
DAILY QUESTION You hold: S J 10 6 5 3 2 H 6 D K 6 C Q 10 8 5. Your partner opens 1NT. The next player passes. What do you say? ANSWER: Before “transfer” responses, this hand was hard to handle: It’s too promising to sign off at two spades, too weak to jump to four. Bid two hearts, a transfer that asks partner to bid two spades. Then raise to three spades and let him judge. If he has a fair hand with spade support such as K 9 4, A J 7 5, A 8 7 5, K 9, he’ll bid game. North dealer N-S vulnerable
ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

he team that lost 11 games in 12 outings during a rough April is not making the trip today for the Big South Conference Tournament. Instead, Craig Cozart’s talented group that won 10 of 11 early in the year to set a record-breaking tone will board the bus for The Winthrop Ballpark. High Point University arrives today, but doesn’t have to play until SPORTS Wednesday as a No. 4 seed. The PanSteve thers avoided the Hanf two opening-round ■■■ single-elimination games by winning their last four conference series, finishing 29-27 overall and 15-12 in the Big South. Both victory totals are Division I-era records for the Panthers. “The nice thing about the way we’re heading into the tournament is the team has the same type vibe it had earlier in the year when we were sweeping series, winning a lot of games,” Cozart said. “We’ve found that energy of being able to put up zeroes defensively when we need to and at the same time put up as many runs as we need to.

NFL MEETING’S AGENDA: 2014 SUPER BOWL, NEW OVERTIME RULE
---
IRVING, Texas (AP) – Ready for an outdoor Super Bowl in cold, possibly snowy weather? Thinking that new overtime rule adopted for playoff games should be used in the regular season, too? NFL owners will discuss those things and more today. The 2014 Super Bowl site definitely will be picked. It’s widely expected to go to the new $1.6 billion Meadowlands stadium that will become home to the Jets and Giants this season, although Miami and Tampa, Fla., also are bidding. The new stadium for the New York City area would seem like a natural site for the NFL’s marquee event, especially with league headquarters in Manhattan. Plus, the league has rewarded cities for building expensive new stadiums by giving them a Super Bowl. But there’s a fundamental problem: the Meadowlands doesn’t have a roof and temperatures are usually in the 20s during early February in East Rutherford, N.J. There’s even a league rule aimed at ensuring good weather, either by playing in a warm climate or by having a roof; the fact it was waived for this bid shows what a shoo-in it might be. As for overtime, when owners last met, in March, they voted to change the suddendeath rule so that if a team losing the coin toss immediately gives up a field goal, they still get a chance to score and either tie it or win – but only in the playoffs. There’s a sentiment that if the rule is good enough for the postseason, it should be done in the regular season. Owners also will talk about the proposed sale of the St. Louis Rams.
Cavs fire Brown CLEVELAND (AP) – Of the many reasons the Cleveland Cavaliers had for firing coach Mike Brown after five seasons without an NBA title, one mattered most. They can’t lose LeBron James. Less than two weeks after their stunning, second-round loss to Boston in the NBA playoffs, the Cavaliers fired Brown on Monday, an expected move that perhaps indicates the team believes it can Brown re-sign James, the two-time MVP and free agent-in-waiting. Brown was the most successful coach in franchise history. In five seasons, he led the Cavs to the playoffs every year, to the finals in 2007 and to 127 wins in the past two seasons. But Brown failed to win a championship, and with James about to explore free agency, owner Dan Gilbert decided to make a change. The Cavs did not hold a news conference to explain their decision to relieve Brown, who went 314-177 and was the league’s coach of the year in 2009.
HIT AND RUN

I
don’t think there’s been this much anticipation in Paris since that whole revolution thing a few hundred years back. The French Open started Sunday and all eyes are on the men’s side of the draw. That’s where Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal appear on course for an epic finals showdown on that slow, red clay. Nadal targets his fifth French crown, while Federer seeks a second straight title in Paris. Last season, Nadal’s four-year reign ended as he was hobbled by painful knees. That
opened the door for Federer to complete his career grand slam and cement his status as the greatest men’s singles player of the modern era. Don’t look for Federer to repeat. Nadal, who is 15-0 on clay this season, appears 100 percent healthy. Nadal sports a 14-7 career record against Federer, including 10-2 on clay. And while Nadal made history this year by becoming the first man to win Monte Carlo, Rome and Madrid in the same season,
Federer is just 6-3 on the surface in 2010. Still, it’s never wise to count out a man with a record 16 grand slam titles. Federer took the Australian Open earlier this year, so he’s the only man with a shot at the 2010 grand slam. Federer has never won all four majors in the same year. So here’s hoping Federer and Nadal stay on track for that championship showdown. It figures to be another classic.

– MARK MCKINNEY ENTERPRISE SPORTS EDITOR
Doug Collins helped lead the 76ers from the bottom of the NBA to the Finals as a player. He gets that shot now as their coach. All anyone wants to know is, why? Collins understands why friends and fans keep asking him why he would quit a cozy job calling NBA games on TNT for a job coaching the Philadelphia 76ers. Among the reasons is the one that raced through his mind as his plane touched down. Philadelphia is home. With his daughter, who lives in the Philly area, among the scores of family members attending Collins’ press conference on Monday, he was reminded of the imprint the city left on him when he played on some of the greatest Sixers teams in franchise history. Collins wants to revitalize the Sixers – and make them matter again in a city where their popularity has plummeted among all sports teams. “We’re talking about being relevant again,” Collins said Monday. The Sixers haven’t won a playoff series since 2003 or won a championship since 1983. Since Larry Brown left in 2003, the Sixers have discarded six other coaches. The 58-year-old Collins has a fouryear deal.

Rangers seek bankruptcy protection to spur sale ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Texas Rangers have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in an effort to spur completion of the stalled $575 million sale of the team — and maybe clear the decks for the new owners to make pennant-chasing decisions this summer. The bankruptcy filing Monday comes four months after Tom Hicks announced an agreement to sell the team to a group led by Hall of Fame pitcher and team president Nolan Ryan.

Karmanos seeks new minority owner of Canes RALEIGH (AP) — Carolina Hurricanes owner Peter Karmanos Jr. says he has hired an investment bank to help him find a minority partner. Karmanos issued a statement Monday confirming the hiring of Allen & Co. but said “the intent is in no way to sell the team.” He says he has been exploring options for finding a minority partner since general partner Thomas Thewes died in 2008, and said Allen & Co. was hired “to assist us with the process.”

Lakers look to dismantle Suns’ zone in Game 4 PHOENIX (AP) – Losing one game in Phoenix was tolerable for the Los Angeles Lakers. Two losses and things start to get uncomfortable for the reigning NBA champions. It’s safe to say that coach Phil Jackson was giving his team a refresher course on how to beat a zone defense when the Lakers worked out at US Airways Center on Monday after Phoenix employed the strategy to great success in its 118-109 victory on Sunday night. The Suns can square the series at 2-2 with another home win in Game 4 tonight.
Jackson said he had never seen a team use the zone so much in a playoff game since the NBA legalized the defense in the 2001-02 season, not that Kobe Bryant seemed all that concerned. When asked if a day of practice would be enough to work out how to attack the zone, he answered sarcastically. “Nah,” he said. “We’re doomed.” The Suns used the zone much of the second quarter and the entire second half. Phoenix coach Alvin Gentry said that was more
than he anticipated but he stuck with it because it worked when nothing else had against the Lakers, who averaged 126 points and shot 58 percent in the series’ first two games. There were inferences on Monday that the zone is somehow an “unmanly” defense, that real teams play man-to-man. “We have to try every way we can to find a situation where we can win,” Gentry said. “Whatever that takes, that’s what it is. If we have to play our ’girlie zone’ as somebody said, we’ll play our ’girlie zone.”’
Steve Nash’s nose and Andrew Bynum’s knee were main subjects of discussion on Monday. Nash has a small nasal fracture from a fourth-quarter collision with Derek Fisher but said he’s had “a handful” of broken noses and expected to be fine for Game 4. After all, he played the fourth quarter of Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals with his right eye swollen shut after taking an elbow from Tim Duncan. “To me I think he’s as tough as they come,” Gentry said. “You saw what happened in the
game last night, he tried to rearrange his own nose. My wife was in a car accident and broke her nose. It almost made her physically sick to see him grab his nose and just try to rearrange it himself.” The taller Lakers dominated the inside game in the first two contests, but Phoenix’s front line duo of Amare Stoudemire and Robin Lopez outscored the Lakers’ trio of Pau Gasol, Bynum and Lamar Odom 62-35 in Game 3. Gasol scored 23 on 11 of 14 shooting, but Odom made just 4 of 14 shots for 10 points.
Flyers oust Habs, advance to Stanley Cup finals

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jhonny Peralta can’t reach a single by Chicago White Sox’s Gordon Beckham in the second inning of Monday night’s game in Cleveland.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) – The Stanley Cup finals are back in orange-andblack. Led by players who stormed back this postseason from injury and a colossal deficit, the Philadelphia Flyers have rekindled some of their old “Broad Street Bullies” championship days and can win their first Stanley Cup since 1975.

White Sox wallop Indians Four Panther men set for NCAA track action THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND – Mark Teahen drove in three runs, John Danks went the minimum to stop a personal three-game slide and the Chicago White Sox snapped a five-game losing streak against Cleveland by beating the hapless Indians 7-2 on Monday night. Teahen hit a two-run double in Chicago’s four-run first inning off Justin Masterson (0-5), who lost his 11th straight decision. The right-hander hasn’t won in 16 starts since Aug. 20. Danks (4-3) allowed two runs and six hits in five innings. The left-hander was winless in his previous four starts, and the White Sox scored just three runs in his last three outings. After shutting out the Indians on opening day in Chicago, the White Sox dropped five in a row to the AL Central’s last-place team. Alex Rios hit his ninth homer for the White Sox. Chicago’s Omar Vizquel got his 2,764th career hit, moving him into a tie with Hall of Famer Luis Aparicio, his boyhood idol, for the second-most by a
shortstop. Vizquel’s hit total is second only to New York Yankees star Derek Jeter, who entered the week with 2,782. Vizquel got another single in the ninth, but he had moved to third base in the seventh. The 43-year-old Vizquel received a warm ovation from Cleveland fans, who adored the 11-time Gold Glove winner during his 11 seasons playing for the Indians.
RED SOX 6, RAYS 1 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Kevin Youkilis and David Ortiz homered to back the strong pitching of Clay Buchholz and lead the resurgent Boston Red Sox to a 6-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night. Ortiz homered for the fifth time in his last nine games.
REDS 7, PIRATES 5 CINCINNATI – Drew Stubbs had three hits Monday night, and right-hander Aaron Harang singled home a run and chugged around the bases to score another during Cincinnati’s five-run fourth inning, leading the Reds to a 7-5 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Tracy fails to qualify for Indianapolis 500 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Paul Tracy had one of the fastest cars during practice for the Indianapolis 500 only a few days ago. That’s what made his failure to qualify for the race so difficult to stomach. “The team did everything they could,” said Tracy, who finished second in 2002 and ninth last year. “I drove the wheels off it. And I don’t know what to say.” Tracy withdrew a qualifying time that would have put him into the race in an attempt to post an even faster time. His strategy backfired, and he knocked himself out. Jay Howard did the same on Sunday — opening the door for rookie Sebastian Saavedra to back his way into the field. The situation reduced Tracy, one of IndyCar’s tough guys, to tears. “I’m a little bit numb right now, disappointed,” he said. “We were on track, and we were trying to do it. And it’s harder to walk away, you know.” Milka Duno and Jaques Lazier also failed on the last day of qualifying for Sunday’s race. Long faces were plentiful in the garages on Monday, knowing that there would be no reward for more than a week’s worth of preparation. Tracy had the second-fastest lap Thursday, but he scraped the wall and damaged the lower right rear wishbone on his No. 15 car in practice Friday. Mechanics had him back on the track on Saturday morning, and he had a fast lap of 223.435 miles per hour during practice.
When it was time to qualify, he went out for his warmup lap but never took the green flag and pulled into pits after getting stuck in neutral. He got back on the track later, but he didn’t qualify. He went back out on Sunday, the final day of qualifying, and posted a time good enough to make the field. Indy’s Bump Day format is set up so the lowest qualifier can be knocked out of the field of 33 if someone else qualifies faster before the 6 p.m. cutoff. Tracy withdrew his time to try to increase his speed and protect himself against other cars that appeared to be threatening his position. He never had control of the car on his final run, nearly hitting the outside wall several times before waving the attempt off, leaving him out of the top 33 and without time for another run. “I just about touched on every lap,” he said. “And it was sliding. I was on the verge of crashing every corner. So I was able to keep it off the wall and not destroy the car.” He didn’t assign blame for the decision to take another shot. Another driver, Mario Romancini, did the same thing and moved up several positions. “Tony Kanaan, who qualified on the final day, said he knew withdrawing the time wasn’t Tracy’s choice. He thought his longtime friend had made the field. “I realized actually in my interview that he was out of it because I didn’t even see it,” Kanaan said. “Too bad. I think it was a bad call on their part.”
SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE
HIGH POINT – Seniors Jesse Cherry, Cole Atkins and Josh Morgan as well as freshmen Dakota Peachee and Josh Pelletier have qualified for the first round of the NCAA Championship and will compete on Thursday and Friday at N.C. A&T. Cherry is ranked fourth in the 10,000. “Everyone is pretty healthy and training has been going pretty well,” said HPU head coach Mike Esposito. “We’re excited about the meet, and we’re going with the intent to have some people qualify for the finals in Eugene. For the freshmen, it’s great to have them get this experience but we don’t want them to be happy just to be there, we want them to compete for a spot in the championship. For the seniors, this is their last opportunity so there’s a sense of urgency.” HPU’s top-ranked competitors are Cherry and Atkins in the 10,000. Cherry is ranked fourth in the race, while Atkins is ranked 13th. The men’s 10,000 is slated for Thursday night at 8:30 p.m. The top 12 finishers will qualify for the finals of the national championship June 9-12 in Eugene, Oregon. Both Cherry and Atkins ran their careerbest times in that event at the Stanford Invitational on March 26. Cherry was in the fastest heat and led most of the race, eventually finishing sixth in an HPU-record time of 28:44.05. Atkins was in the next heat and finished fourth in 29:20.77. Morgan will run the first round of the 1,500 on Thursday at 4:30 p.m. If he advances, he will compete in the quarterfinal on Friday at 5:30 p.m. The top 12 finishers from the quarterfinal
advance to Eugene. Morgan ran a career-best 3:46.13 in the 1,500 at the Joe Hilton Carolina Fast Times meet on April 10 in Chapel Hill, which ranks him 34th in Friday’s preliminary. Peachee qualified for the first round of the NCAA Championship in the 3,000 steeplechase with a breakthrough performance at the Georgia Tech Invitational on May 15. Peachee ran a time of 8:59.62 to break the previous HPU record of 9:02.09 and crush his own career-best of 9:25.38 set in his steeplechase debut at the Big South Championship. The 3,000 steeplechase will be run on Friday at 8:30 p.m. Peachee is ranked 34th in Friday’s event. Pelletier qualified for the javelin in this week’s competition with his throw of 65.97 meters (216-5), which set an HPU record at the Big South Championship on April 15. He placed second in that meet. Pelletier is ranked 26th in the javelin this weekend and he is ranked 53rd, nationally. Pelletier has advanced the HPU javelin record by nearly 30 feet, as the record prior to this season was 189-3 set by Bill Kimmel in 1987. “Josh gets excited and has shown he performs well at big meets, as he did at the Big South Championship,” said HPU assistant coach Eric Dudley. The meet in Greensboro features the Eastern part of the country, while the West will compete at the same time in Austin, Texas. The top 12 finishers from each event at each meet will make up the 24 competitors in the finals of the NCAA Championship. This is the first time this qualifying format has been used, with only competitionbased qualifiers and no performancebased qualifiers.
Gamble, Fenske represent HPU women SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE
HIGH POINT – Sophomores Manika Gamble and Christina Fenske will compete in the first round of the NCAA Championship on Thursday and Friday at N.C. A&T. Gamble will compete in the 400-meter hurdles and Fenske will compete in the high jump. “Both have a great chance to be in the hunt for the top 12 and advance to the championship in Eugene,” said HPU head coach Mike Esposito. “In the high jump, there could be a lot of ties and it could come down to misses. If Chris-
tina performs her best, she could be right there. Manika is going to enter this weekend with the same mindset she had at the Florida Relays when she ran her career best. She competed in the regional last year, and her intent is to do a lot better this season.” Gamble is seeded 19th in the 400 hurdles this weekend and is ranked 31st in the nation. Her season-best time of 58.56 came at the Pepsi Florida Relays in April, setting both HPU and Big South records in that event. The first round of the 400 hurdles is Thursday at 4 p.m. and the quarterfinals are Friday at 7:15 p.m. The
top 12 finishers in the quarterfinals advance to the finals of the NCAA Championship June 9-12 in Eugene, Oregon. After coming close to qualifying for most of the season, Fenske cleared a career-best and HPU-record 1.78 meters (5-10) in the high jump at the N.C. A&T Aggie Classic on May 17, the same facility she will compete at this weekend. Fenske’s previous best was 1.70 (5-7), which she cleared on multiple occasions. The women’s high jump will begin at 5 p.m. on Thursday, with the top 12 finishers qualifying for the finals in Eugene.

Federer’s debut as champ goes well PARIS (AP) – The French-speaking voice booming through loudspeakers at Court Philippe Chatrier recited Roger Federer’s bona fides during prematch introductions, detailing his six titles at Wimbledon, five at the U.S. Open, four at the Australian Open and then, reaching a crescendo, concluded this way: “One at Roland Garros, here, last year!” Federer smiled. Fans roared, many rising to applaud. Playing at the French Open as defending champion for the first time, Federer gave ’em plenty to cheer about Monday, dipping into his considerable repertoire of shotmaking in a 6-4, 6-1, 6-2 victory over 71st-ranked Peter Luczak of Australia. With the end result far from in doubt, Federer turned the outing into a glorified practice session. He closed one extended exchange by slicing a backhand with so much spin that, after landing, the ball darted back toward the net, away from Luczak. Federer acknowledged the cheers by raising an index finger, lest somebody forget he’s No. 1. “If it was anyone else, I’d be getting pretty angry,” said Luczak, whose career mark in Grand Slam matches fell to 5-14. “He just had me on a string and just (was) toying with me at the end. I think he was enjoying it.” Federer made only 11 unforced errors, won 50 of 64 points on his serve and faced one break point, which he saved. “I was pretty relaxed,” said Federer, who can tie Pete Sampras’ record of 286 total weeks at No. 1 in the rankings June 7. “It was like a perfect match to get off
the French Open campaign, really.” Other top players – even those who also won – were less pleased with their performances on Day 2, when a searing sun carried the temperature into the 80s and made the most grueling of tennis’ surfaces even more of a test of fitness. The No. 1-ranked woman, Serena Williams, for example, found little to smile about after following Federer into the main stadium and beating Stefanie Voegele of Switzerland 7-6 (2), 6-2. “I definitely didn’t feel good about it,” said Williams, who counts the 2002 French Open among her 12 major championships. “At least I won. I think I’m still in the tournament; that’s what matters.” She compiled 10 aces, converted 3 of 3 break points and accumulated a 28-13 edge in winners. Asked what pleased her about the way she played, Williams replied: “Across the board, nothing, really, just to be honest.” It was not the sort of afternoon for long outings, but some players just can’t seem to help themselves, such as No. 4 Andy Murray and former top-10 player Richard Gasquet of France. Gasquet started well, but Murray finished well and won 4-6, 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-2, 6-1. Murray also lost the first two sets before beating Gasquet in five at Wimbledon in 2008. Two seeded Spaniards lost, No. 21 Tommy Robredo and No. 27 Feliciano Lopez, while Monday’s winners included No. 3 AP Novak Djokovic, No. 12 Fernando Gon- Switzerland’s Roger Federer returns the ball to Australia’s Peter Luczak during their zalez, No. 13 Gael Monfils, No. 14 Ivan first-round match in the French Open tennis tournament at the Roland Garros stadium Ljubicic and No. 19 Nicolas Almagro. in Paris on Monday.

Economists upbeat amid deficit woes CHICAGO (AP) – Economists forecast the pace of U.S. growth to pick up in the year ahead as consumers and businesses alike accelerate spending, according to a new survey. The assessment by leading forecasters is set to be released Monday by The National Association for Business Economics. It finds them more bullish than when the survey was last surveyed in February, with a majority expecting the economy’s performance to exceed the long-term norm in 2010 and 2011. The outlook amounts to an encouraging report card on the economy at nearly the one-year mark of the recovery, which the experts date to June 2009 when the recession hit bottom. “Although risks involv-
BRIEFS High court rejects Microsoft appeal WASHINGTON – The Sreme Court has turned - Microsoft Corp.’s appeal of a jury verdict that it infringed on another company’s patent. The justices said Monday they will not intervene in Microsoft’s legal fight with AlcatelLucent. The disputed patent covers a method of entering information into fields on a computer screen without using a keyboard.
Campbell So net income drops NEW YORK – The Campbell So Co.’s thirdquarter revenue rose almost 7 percent – its biggest quarterly increase since 2008. But onetime expenses took a bite out of its net income. The 3.4 percent decline in net income reported Monday by the world’s largest so maker represented a reversal of a recent trend in which Campbell managed to increase net income by cutting expenses in quarters when sales have been - or just barely higher.
Gas demand stable despite drop in price NEW YORK – Although gasoline prices are dropping ahead of the start of the summer driving season, there’s no sign motorists are rushing back to the pump to top off their tanks. Retail gas prices fell again Monday as this month’s big drop in oil prices continues to work its way to the pump. The national average pump price fell 0.8 cents to $2.793 per gallon.

ing Europe have recently escalated, the outlook in this country has improved in most respects,” said Lynn Reaser, the group’s president and chief economist at Point Loma Nazarene University. “Growth prospects are stronger, unemployment and inflation are lower, and worries relating to consumer retrenchment and domestic financial headwinds have diminished.” While the economy is in “reasonably good shape,” she said, forecasters are extremely concerned about the impact of large federal deficits in the future. The panel of forecasters boosted its expectations for growth in 2010 to 3.2 percent real gross domestic product, up from 3.1 percent in its February outlook. It also
pegged the 2011 growth rate at 3.2 percent. Household spending, while still lagging the overall economy, is still expected to grow significantly this year. The forecasters attribute part of that to consumers being less thrifty, with the saving rate for 2010 seen dropping to 3.4 percent from the 4.6 percent they predicted just three months ago. Business investment also is expected to fuel the recovery. The economists expect higher operating rates and rising corporate profits boosting companies’ spending on equipment and software, while retailers restock inventory. Unemployment is forecast to decline to 9.4 percent by year’s end and 8.5 percent by the end of 2011.
Gentiva Health to buy Odyssey ATLANTA (AP) – Home health provider Gentiva Health Services Inc. said Monday it plans to spend nearly $1 billion in cash to buy hospice firm Odyssey HealthCare Inc. in a move to create the nation’s largest provider of home health and hospice care. Atlanta-based Gentiva said it will pay $27 per share for Odyssey stock, marking a 40 percent premium to the shares’ closing price Friday. Based on Odyssey’s 33.8 million shares outstanding at March 31, the deal is valued at $912.3 million. Shares of Dallas-based Odyssey surged $7.02, or 36.4 percent, to $26.31 in morning trading. Shares last traded above $26 in 2004. Gentiva shares rose $2.54, or about 10 percent, to $28.33. The boards of both companies have approved the ac-
quisition, which is expected to close in the third quarter, pending approval by regulators and Odyssey stockholders. The companies said the deal will create a hospice care provider with an average daily patient census of about 14,000 and operations in 30 states. They anticipate the combination will create a company with more than $1.8 billion in annual revenue. Gentiva expects the acquisition to add to adjusted earnings per share within the first 12 months following closing. “The two companies share similar geography between Gentiva’s home health operations and Odyssey’s hospice operations, with very little overlap between the two companies’ hospice programs,” Gentiva CEO and President Tony Strange said in a statement.
Tax credit, low rates boost home sales WASHINGTON (AP) – Homebuyers rushed to take advantage of government incentives and low mortgage rates in April, giving the housing market its biggest boost in five months. But now that a homebuyer tax credit has expired, any improvement will depend mainly on the lure of historically low mortgage rates. Some economists say that won’t be enough. “Although mortgage rates have fallen sharply, the combination of high unemployment, heavy indebtedness and tight credit suggest to us that demand will stumble,” said Paul Dales, an economist at Capital Economics. Sales of previously owned
homes rose 7.6 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.77 million, the National Association of Realtors said Monday. The increase in sales sparked a rise in home prices. The median price for a new home rose to $173,100, up 4 percent from a year ago. Mortgage fell last week to the lowest level for the year and close to 50-year lows as worries over the European debt crisis sent investors rushing into the safety of U.S. credit markets. But Patrick Newport, an economist at IHS Global Insight, said the key to growth in the housing market won’t be low mortgage rates. It will be growth in the job market.

Financial stocks drive markets down NEW YORK (AP) – Financial companies dragged stocks lower Monday as already anxious investors grew even more uncertain about the U.S. government’s financial overhaul plan and debt problems in Europe. The Dow Jones industrial average slid 80 points in the final 15 minutes of trading to end with a loss of almost 127. It was the lowest close for the Dow since February. All major indexes fell more than 1 percent. Investors are worried about limits that could be placed on U.S. banks in a final version of the financial overhaul bill. A bill that passed the Senate last week is now being reconciled with the House version. The late drop illustrates how jittery traders are in particular about what will happen in Europe. “People are afraid to go home, and say, ‘All of the sudden what’s going to happen overnight in Europe? Is something new going to pop up?’ ” said Joe Saluzzi, co-head of equity trading at Themis Trading LLC. The euro fell against the dollar, dropping to $1.2361. The 16-nation currency has become a symbol of investors’ concern about the continent’s economy. Traders have been dumping the euro on fears that massive debts will cause a default by a weaker country in the European Union. The euro hit a four-year low against the dollar last week.

special advisory committee. The panel is examining the freefall that sent the Dow Jones industrials down nearly 1,000 points in less than 30 minutes. SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro said the market chaos of May 6 “undermined investors’ faith” in the integrity of the securities markets. The regulators and U.S. securities exchanges have a plan to keep it from happening again, proposing essentially that markets call a “time out” when trading gets too chaotic. The big stock exchanges say that new curbs on trading known as “circuit breakers” will help prevent runaway market drops. But not everyone is convinced. Some market
watchers say the proposed rules are too limited; others say they go too far. The SEC unveiled the plan for circuit breakers last week with support from the exchanges. Under the plan, trading of any Standard & Poor’s 500 stock that rises or falls 10 percent or more within a five-minute period would be halted for five minutes. The rules would be applied if the price swing occurs between 9:45 a.m. and 3:35 p.m. Eastern time – nearly the entire trading day. The idea is that circuit breakers would give investors a break during extreme market dips, and possibly head off a chain reaction of human and computerized selling.
IBM to buy AT&T’s Sterling unit NEW YORK (AP) – IBM Corp. said Monday that it is buying AT&T Inc.’s Sterling Commerce unit, which makes software that helps businesses buy and sell to each other, for $1.4 billion. The deal would be IBM Corp.’s largest acquisition since it bought business software maker Cognos in 2008. Sterling runs “collaboration networks” where companies can interact with vendors. It has 18,000 clients worldwide and
enables more than 1 billion deals per year, IBM and AT&T said. Customers include H.J. Heinz Co., Motorola Inc., Boise Cascade LLC and Boston Market Corp. The parties would not provide a figure for the unit’s annual revenue. AT&T Inc., then known as SBC Communications, paid $3.9 billion for Sterling in 2000, near the peak of the Internet bubble. The price tag was driven by forecasts that all “business-to-business” commerce would
soon be conducted through online marketplaces not unlike a stock exchange, with demand dictating prices more efficiently. The unit, which is based in Dublin, Ohio, has little connection to AT&T’s main telecommunications business and has maintained its own brand. AT&T spokeswoman McCall Butler said AT&T’s business has changed since 2000, and Sterling is “no longer core to the company’s long-term strategic objectives.”

Murphy’s husband found dead

WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal regulators said Monday they are looking at whether big trading firms abandoned the market during the massive sell-off on May 6 rather than providing cash support required under law. Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission said the possible retreat of big “liquidity providers” during the market plunge is an area of focus in the investigation. Major firms are required by law to remain in the market by buying and selling stocks; smaller firms are not. Staff members of the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission were presenting their findings at the first meeting of the two agencies’
