ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

Several people had been involved in establishing what became The High Point Enter-prise, and J.J. Far-riss certainly gets credit for position-ing the newspaper as a major force throughout the community. But two people who bought all of the company’s out-standing stock in 1921 set the Enter-prise on a journey that lasted nearly 80 years. Read all about it in the Enterprise’s an-niversary edition coming out in May.

J A M E S -TOWN – Two groups of students – in-strumental-ists and sing-ers – that will r e p r e s e n t R a g s d a l e High School in the “On Stage!” tal-ent showcase T h u r s d a y will provide a sampling of what larger

groups at the school offer.

An eight-member string group is part of the larger 27-member school orches-tra led by Andrew Oldham, director of instrumental music.

Some cast members from the March production of the school edition of the musical “Rent” will per-form a song from the show, “Seasons of Love.” The full production of “Rent” involved 21 students in the cast and 16 who served as backstage crew, said drama teacher Susan Reinecke. She worked with teacher Jessica Glime, who

was musical director for the full production and is working with students for the “On Stage!” song.

In both instances, teach-ers decided to showcase Ragsdale by taking advan-tage of what already was in place at the school.

“We had a cast that was doing well, and we decided to send an audition video,” Reinecke said. “We just

came off an incredibly suc-cessful musical they’re very proud of, and it gives them another way to also refl ect the hard work they put into that musical.”

Oldham created the string group specifi cal-ly to be in “On Stage!” The musicians will per-form the fi rst movement

BY DAVID NIVENSENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

LEXINGTON – A group of Davidson County residents challenging former sheriff Gerald Hege’s candidacy in the Republican primary will get a hearing May 7.

At the request of board member Jon Myers, the Davidson County Board of Elections scheduled the hearing after the May 4 elec-tion, but before the May 11 canvass. The residents and Hege will have until May 5 to fi le briefs and arrange for legal counsel, the board ruled Monday. “Voting has begun, so we should have a stay,” Myers said.

Early primary voting be-gan April 15.

Melisia Prout, the presi-dent of Salvation’s Way and a Forsyth County resident, organized the challenge. The challengers say Hege, a convicted felon, would be in direct violation of state law if elected because he would have control over fi rearms in the sheriff’s offi ce.

“We are very happy that we got a hearing,” Prout said. “We will fi le a brief for the board with the witness-es and the documents. Our case is on the qualifi cations, and we are most concerned about the general election ballot, not so much about the primary. This gives us more time to prepare.”

Hege has claimed the com-plaint does not make sense and should have been han-dled before voting started.

“We expected this to hap-pen,” Hege said. “This is no surprise. The board is giving them the benefi t of the doubt. We don’t want any doubt either.”

Although elections offi -

cials said they could not fi nd Hege’s probation release pa-pers with his offi ce fi ling pa-pers, Hege said he was con-fi dent that papers restoring his citizenship are on fi le.

“Those are the last pa-pers you get as probation ends,” Hege said. “It’s just a matter of getting a copy of it.”

Last week, the board de-termined that the group’s petition was a protest and not a challenge allowed within 10 days after a can-didate fi les for an offi ce. The board decided to hear constitutional and statu-tory arguments against Hege’s candidacy.

“This is all about the

Constitution,” Hege said. “It goes back to that.”

Hege has contended that the fi rearms argument is not an issue. “There is no state law I know of that requires a sheriff to carry a fi rearm,” Hege said. “The president of the United States and the governor do not carry one. Each deputy has qualifi ca-tions to carry a fi rearm.”

Hege resigned as sher-iff in 2004 after pleading guilty to two felony counts of obstruction of justice for attempting to cover up money missing from the vice and narcotics unit of the sheriff’s department.

Challenging Hege

BY PAT KIMBROUGHENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Guilford County’s proposed budget cuts could spell bad news for the world’s largest furniture trade show.

County Manager Brenda Jones-Fox’s draft spending plan includes a one-third reduction in funding for most local economic development agencies, including the High Point Market Authority, which would see its allocation cut from $75,000 to $50,000. The move disappointed city leaders, who were optimistic about an increase for the market after a joint meeting between the City Council and Guilford County Board of Commissioners last month.

“I was truly surprised by the re-

duced amount recommended by the county manager,” said Mayor Becky Smothers. “The commis-sioners’ comments about the val-ue of the market were so positive when we met with them recently.”

Jones-Fox – under direction from the board to deliver a spending plan that does not raise the property tax rate – has proposed $17.2 million in cuts to a variety of county services, staff, arts and community groups and other organizations.

The market authority receives

city and state funding to support transportation services and promote what is billed as the single-largest economic event in North Carolina each year. But fi nding additional lo-cal sources has been a struggle.

“I am very concerned that any de-crease in funding sends a very nega-tive message,” Smothers said. “We have been unable to convince other local governments in the region that the market has a profound impact on their sales tax, hotel occupancy taxes and provides a signifi cant fi -nancial boost for many of the busi-nesses throughout the Triad. Guil-ford should be taking the lead.”

Some commissioners on Mon-day again expressed support for the market. “I know we have cut everything, and we’re going to go

back now and see if maybe there’s areas we might need to tweak again and help out,” said Republi-can Commissioner Linda Shaw. “I support that furniture market 100 percent. I think it’s vital to High Point as well as Guilford County. It brings in a lot of revenue.”

Council members said they plan to continue lobbying for the mar-ket during the budget process, which ends in June.

“The county commissioners have the ability to modify (the proposed allocation), and I hope they will,” said Councilman Latimer Alexan-der. “I feel like we’ll be reaching out to them and showing what their investment in High Point means.”

PROTEST–According to state law, it’s “unlawful for any person who has been convicted of a felony to purchase, own, possess or have in custody, care or control any fi rearm or any weapon of mass death and destruction.” The challengers say Gerald Hege would be in direct violation if elected.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) – Police in one Connecticut city have a warning for nightclub patrons: Don’t call 911 for a ride home.

New Haven police say that’s what 28-year-old Quandria (KWAN’-dree-

ah) Bailey did, calling the emergency line six times to request a ride from a nightclub back to her Meriden home.

Bailey was charged with six counts of mis-use of the 911 system early Sunday. She was

released on a $1,000 bond and is scheduled to ap-pear in court May 5.

A telephone number for Bailey could not im-mediately be located Sunday and it was un-clear whether she had an attorney.

of Mozart’s “Symphony No. 12.” The entire school or-chestra performs the piece, and Oldham modifi ed it for the string ensemble.

“This was an extra com-mitment,” Oldham said. “I set the calendar in stone ahead of time, and this was extra rehearsal time for the students, and I needed a group that could pull a piece together really quick-ly, and the upper-classmen have enough experience that they could get the piece together more quickly than the younger kids.”

Both groups will perform at “On Stage!” for the fi rst time.

“Ragsdale has so many really good programs, but at times they don’t have a chance to be prominent or shine, so this will be a chance to get our names out there and have people be willing to come to our performances,” said Sara-ina Pierre, a violinist in the ensemble and a senior at Ragsdale.

GUILFORD COUNTY – With their 2011 budgets formed, a group of county leaders will meet today to discuss funding for school con-struction.

So far, a committee of Guilford County commissioners and Guil-ford County Board of Education members have skirmished over the additional $3 million Superin-tendent Mo Green has asked for repairs and maintenance in his $651.8 million 2011 budget.

The committee has yet to cov-er school construction in detail, especially the status of projects listed in the 2008 voter-approved $412 million school construction list.

School board Chairman Alan

Duncan said earlier this month during a committee meeting that the school board has an obliga-tion to fund the 27 projects on the 2008 construction list before spending the bond money on anything else. The school board and commissioners should dis-cuss what to do with any left-over money, he said.

“This has to be a joint discus-sion,” Duncan said.

The school district received $10 million or $11 million in mainte-nance money until last year, when that amount was cut to $4 million. In her 2011 budget proposal total-ing $568.9 million, County Manag-er Brenda Jones-Fox has kept dis-trict funding level at $175 million and maintenance and repairs at $4 million.

Several commissioners have urged the school board to bring them emergency requests for main-tenance and repairs, but they have not agreed on what constitutes an emergency. Green has so far ruled out using a $3 million reserve fund set aside to cover any state give-backs.

MARION – After it was closed in 2008 due to the eco-nomic recession, the Spec-trum plant in Marion will soon reopen under a new name and hire 49 people.

Gov. Bev Perdue an-nounced Monday that Spectrum Mills LLC will locate an operation in Marion. The company, which will manufacture specialty textured yarns, plans to create 49 jobs and

invest $2.7 million during the next three years. The project was made pos-sible in part by a $135,000 grant from the One North Carolina Fund, according to a news release from the governor’s offi ce.

“North Carolina re-mains a top choice for companies seeking to cre-ate new jobs and enhance their successful opera-tions,” said Perdue. “Our exceptional business cli-mate, skilled workforce and training programs

continue to attract busi-nesses and investment to our state.”

Spectrum Mills is a pri-vately owned company headquartered in Mar-ion. The company will make textured and color polyester yarns for use in wholesale and retail applications, including sewing, needlework and piece goods. The com-pany’s predecessor was Spectrum Yarns, which was shut down in 2008. It was purchased from

bankruptcy by a private investor who plans to consolidate two inactive facilities into one opera-tion in Marion and re-start production, accord-ing to the news release.

“It’s going to be very similar,” said County Manager Chuck Aber-nathy, who is also the county’s economic de-velopment director. “We understand there will be an opportunity for the former employees to be possibly hired back.”

WILSON – A little more than 300 people fell at Fike High School Saturday af-ternoon – but luckily no-body was hurt, and it was all for a good cause.

Special Olympics in Wil-son County sponsored the event that raised money for special needs athletes in the community. They had hoped to break the world record but fell short this year.

Kit Lewis, a mother of a 13-year-old special needs athlete, thought the Hu-man Domino Fall was a

great way to get the com-munity involved in thecause.

“This was great fun,”she said. “This is a won-derful way to get people toparticipate in the SpecialOlympics.”

A little after 2 p.m., morethan 300 participants linedup on Fike High School’strack, sat down and waitedfor the command to start.With arms raised in the air,one by one the volunteers,who were wearing blackshirts that resembled domi-nos, fell back on each other.When the last “domino”fell, there was a loud cheerfrom the crowd.

BRIEFS---Court says Wal-Mart to face massive suit

SAN FRANCISCO – A sharply divided federal appeals court on Monday exposed Wal-Mart Stores Inc. to billions of dollars in legal damages when it ruled a massive class action lawsuit alleging gender discrimination over pay for female work-ers can go to trial.

In its 6-5 ruling, the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals said the world’s largest private employer will have to face charges it pays women less than men for the same jobs and that female employees receive fewer promotions and have to wait longer for those promotions than males counterparts.

eBay pulls Kevorkian death van listing

DETROIT – Online auction site eBay pulled a listing Monday for a van used by Dr. Jack Kevork-ian to perform several assisted suicides, saying the sale of the van would violate the company’s policy against the sale of “murderabilia.”

Jack Finn, a retired used auto parts dealer, put the 1968 Volkswagon van up for auction on eBay last week. With three days left in the auction, the top bid placed for it was $3,400 at 12:30 p.m. EDT Monday, but the ad had been pulled an hour later.

MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. – Remains found two weeks ago in Pennsylva-nia have been identifi ed as those of an aspiring dancer from Texas who disappeared after leaving a New York City night club in 2008 with a regis-tered sex offender, state police said Monday.

I like the spring furniture market, especially when weather cooper-ates, wisteria and azaleas bloom, the streets are crowded with visitors. This town shines during spring market. The annual migration of buyers and manufacturers to High Point has become a mark in time, a new season in life has arrived, bet-ter days ahead. We all benefi t.

We all hear, “I got some show-room work,” or, “Oh yeah, we cater down there,” and the most frequent is, “We’re sleeping on my sister’s living room fl oor, rented the house out to market.” What we don’t hear as often is, “We got a purchase order for a thousand headboards.” Those words are spoken in a differ-ent language, in a land far away. Those words are the crux to our economic problems today.

I arrived in High Point 13 years ago. What I saw then was the apex of the furniture business, maybe the apex of manufactur-ing in America, too. One by one, plants closed, even rail tracks were removed. Now, most of that work is done in other countries where the labor is cheap, little regard to pol-lution and worker safety. It’s good

that laborer has work, his standard of living raised, I have no problem with that. I have a problem with what it has done: our jobs, our stan-dard of living, our future.

We can control our future by voting for candidates who sup-port U.S. manufacturing, and by voting with our wallets when we purchase. Buy American made products. If we do that, maybe some future market we’ll hear a sawdust covered fellow who smells of varnish, proudly say “we got a purchase order for a thousand dressers.” That will mark a new season of better days.

Rayne Brown has stuff to

defeat Holliman

The Fred McClure I used to support for the Davidson County Board of Commissioners was a tax-cutter, innovator, and boat-rocker extraordinaire. But the Fred McClure who returned to the board after the voters exiled him for two years is not the same Fred McClure. For example, he now insists that the property tax rate ought to stay the same year after year, not even a token reduction in the revaluation years.

Because two years remained on the four-year term the voters granted him two years ago, Com-

missioner McClure had nothing to lose by indulging in a little extracurricular political activity this year. He fi led for the North Carolina House seat now held by Representative Hugh Holliman.

But the commissioner was a no-show at the recent candidates forum at Piedmont Crossing. The explanation: a doctor’s ap-pointment took priority. Fred McClure’s name will be on the Republican primary ballot, but his heart is not in this campaign.

Rayne Brown’s heart, body, mind, and soul are in this cam-paign, and in this campaign only. She doesn’t know how to hedge her bets or pull her punches. She is the little Red Hen and the Little Engine That Could all rolled into one. She is the conservative fi rebrand that Fred McClure used to be.

Two years ago, when the smart money said that challenging Hugh Holliman was a fool’s errand, Rayne Brown took him on and almost took him out. This time she can fi nish the job.

YOUR VIEW---

W ith recent news updates on the con-tinuing investigation of former Gov. Mike Easley, now is a good time to

assess how much such news is likely to af-fect politics in North Carolina.

My view is that scandals can determine electoral outcomes, but not through the mechanism that most often springs to mind: propelling undecided voters into the camp of the party out of power.

I don’t doubt that high-profi le scandals can sometimes do this. In 2006, the perception of widespread Republican incompetence and corruption in Washington probably led some

voters with weak partisan affi liations to lean in favor of giving Democrats more power. What I doubt is that the number of undecid-ed voters swayed by scandal is large.

The greater effect of political scandal on elections comes from base voters, not swing voters. Within the party of a politician convicted or even just credibly accused of wrongdoing, the scandal saps the energy of volunteers, weakens the pitch of fundrais-ers, and depresses the turnout of the base.

Meanwhile, within the party out of power, scandal leads to two mutually reinforcing responses: righteous indignation at incumbent abuses of power and rising expectations about the possibility of electoral victory. As a result, chal-lengers benefi t from more energetic volunteers, more effective fundraisers, and more turnout.

Ideological, highly partisan voters are better informed about the details of politics than

swing voters. On both sides, they are more likely to know which party controls which congressional or legislative chambers. They are more likely to recognize the names of politi-cians below the rank of presi-dent, governor, or U.S. Senate. And they are more consistent consumers of political news. So when a scandal breaks, they are far more likely to make the necessary connections.

In nonpresidential years such as 1994, 1998, and 2006 – all years in which one or both chamber of Congress changed hands – real or perceived scandals in the incumbent party contributed to its downfall largely by depressing turnout among base voters. Those are cycles in which swing voters played smaller roles, because there was no presidential race at the top of the ticket to bring them to the polls.

Looking at the 2010 elections in North Car-olina, then, I think we may well see a similar dynamic. I know more than a few Democrats who are tired of seeing their leaders show up in scandals, particularly if they worked hard to get those leaders elected or keep them in power. And I know quite a few Republicans who are both outraged at the shenanigans of Black, Easley, etc. and expectant of a rising tide for their party in November.

Still, there are still enough truly unde-cided voters to tip the balance in key races. They’ll vote more on economic and fi scal issues than ethical ones. If GOP candidates offer them a credible set of alternatives for addressing North Carolina’s problems, those voters will swing Republican.

It won’t be because Ruffi n Poole is guilty of tax evasion. They don’t know who he is.

S ad tale, indeed!Oak Hollow Mall opened with great fan-

fare in the summer of 1995 and now, 15 years later, what had been a fi rst-class shop-ping facility is for sale for $15 million.

That’s just one-third of what CBL & Associ-ates reportedly was asking two years ago when The High Point Enterprise was the fi rst to tell you about the desire of the mall’s corporate owner/operator to dump it. And, a year ago, Green Street Advisors included it in a list of 84 “dead” malls across America last May. Green Street Advisors contends that any large, en-closed mall generating sales per square foot of $250 or less (U.S. average is $381) is in danger of failure. And it has been reported that Oak Hol-low’s occupancy is less than two-thirds full.

Even if mall struggles are common, a city the size of High Point deserves a fi rst-class mall.

Even if consumer mentality is shifting, a community the size (geographically and pop-ulationwise) of the greater High Point area should be able to support a mall.

A mall and its merchants that were as suc-cessful as Oak Hollow was during its fi rst 10 years regularly should be inviting those who live, work, shop and/or play in the greater High Point area via – even if it sounds self-serving – advertising in The High Point En-terprise, your hometown newspaper. Most of the other stores at the mall have, from its be-ginning in 1995, laid back and tried to ride the coattails of the advertising of anchor stores, of which only Belk, Sears and JC Penney re-main. And advertising from Oak Hollow Mall itself has been sparse.

Obviously, if most merchants, and now the nontraditional tenants, don’t invest enough to tell local people what they have to offer and don’t entice them regularly to visit the mall, they can’t expect folks to go there in any appre-ciable numbers just because the mall is there.

The mall can survive, if all parties with a stake in it – mall operators, the anchors who have been carrying the load, the other mer-chants and tenants, the High Point Chamber of Commerce, the Enterprise and the people residing and working in the greater High Point area – “work” together to make it happen.

Otherwise, High Pointers sooner or later are going to have another white elephant on its hands and, this time, it will be diffi cult to fi nd a church to bail them out.

Sad tale, indeed! Do you care?

OUR MISSION---The High Point Enterprise is committed to

this community ... and always will serve it by being an intensely local newspaper of excel-lent quality every day.

OUR VIEW---

RON WILKINS: God has put him in the right place again.

BRIEFS---Haiti drops kidnapping charge for missionaries

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – A Haitian judge has dropped kidnapping charges against all 10 U.S. mis-sionaries detained for trying to take children out of the country after the Jan. 12 earthquake.

But the only missionary still in jail, group leader Laura Silsby, still faces a charge of organizing the illegal transport of 33 children in the chaos.

King accepts resignation of Belgian governmentBRUSSELS – Belgium King Albert II accepted the

government’s resignation Monday after negotiations failed to resolve a long-simmering dispute between Dutch- and French-speaking politicians over a bilingual voting district in and around Brussels, the country’s capital.

The king had waited since last week to see if last-ditch talks could keep the coalition government.

BRUSSELS (AP) – The European Union and the continent’s air traf-fi c agency want to move fast to abolish Europe’s fragmented national air-spaces, which they say exacerbated the unprece-

dented air travel disrup-tions that grounded over 100,000 fl ights because of volcanic ash last week.

Industry representa-tives, regulators and analysts all say the most important result of the

post-mortem meetings starting this week will be a move toward a unifi ed airspace at the expense of nations still seeking to jealously guard the sky as a symbol of national sovereignty.

Unifi ed airspace wouldalso put the skies underone regulatory body in-stead of leaving decisionsto dozens of individualcountries – one of the keysources of confusion inthe volcanic ash crisis.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) – A United Nations investigation has found that four U.N. staff members killed during a suicide attack on a Kabul guest house last October may have died because of friendly fi re from Afghan security forces, U.N. offi cials said Monday.

A fi nal report by a four-member outside panel suggested that four of the fi ve U.N. staffers killed in the at-tack had been shot to death because

they were mistaken for Taliban in-surgents during the Oct. 28 incident.

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s offi ce said Monday it had received the report, which it declined to make public. Ban’s spokesman, Martin Nesirky, said Monday the report described a “confused situ-ation at the Bakhtar guest house with the attackers and responding security personnel both dressed in Afghan police uniforms and a fi re

raging through the compound.”Nesirky said one of the dead U.N.

staffers, Louis Maxwell of Miami,“may have been killed by Afghansecurity forces who may have mis-taken him for an insurgent. ... Thereport was not able to determinewho fi red the shots that killed thethree other United Nations staffmembers, though it leaves openthe possibility that they may alsohave been killed by friendly fi re.”

BAGHDAD (AP) – An Iraqi court threw the na-tion’s disputed election into deeper disarray Monday by disqualifying 52 candidates, including one winner, in a legal ruling that cast doubt on the slim lead of a Sunni-backed alliance over the prime minister’s political coalition.

The decision by the three-judge election court in-tensifi ed political turmoil and dealt a new setback to efforts to form a new gov-ernment in Iraq nearly two months after the vote for a new 325-member parlia-ment, which must select the next prime minister.

U.S. offi cials had hoped the elections would boost efforts to reconcile Iraq’s divided ethnic and reli-gious groups as American

military forces prepare to withdraw combat forces by September, with the rest to follow by the end of next year. But the maneuvering following the inconclusive vote instead has created a giant political vacuum and fears of new violence.

It also threatened to an-ger anew Sunni voters, who had thrown their sup-port behind secular candi-date Ayad Allawi’s bloc to give it a two-seat lead.

The winning candidate who would lose his seat was from Allawi’s Iraqiya coalition. Sunnis largely have spurned Prime Min-ister Nouri al-Maliki, and their anger against the Shi-ite-led government in 2006 and 2007 was one of the key motivators for their bloody insurgency.

frozen new Jewish construction in Jerusalem’s disputed eastern sector, municipal offi cials said Monday.

The decision was made despite Prime Minister Ben-jamin Netanyahu’s public insistence that building would not be stopped in the face of U.S. pressure.

Dear friend,

Many of you have heard I will be admitting a mistake in this letter today. You’ve heard right, it’s time to fess up.

As a doctor here in Thomasville for ten years, I’ve taken care of thousands of people. All throughout that time I’ve kept my secret. But, now, as I’ve started to come clean, instead of an investigation or a local up-roar, my patients are relieved. They under-stand, and people are still flocking to my office.

I’m going to tell you what I’m admitting to, and what I regret, but I want to give you some background first.

Twenty years ago my life took a dramatic turn.

Twenty years ago I started college, but I was overwhelmed by intense migraine headaches that were getting worse. They made it nearly impossible to study. The medical doctors just gave me pills and said it would go away, but they didn’t. In my case they came on slowly, over years, but they worsened to the point where I could barely function. Most of my time was spent lying down in a dark room, taking handfuls of painkillers. I felt like giving up. A friend of mine convinced me to give a chiropractor a try. The chiropractor did an exam, took some films, and then “adjusted” my spine. The adjustment didn’t hurt, it actually felt good. I got relief, and I finally felt like myself again. It felt great to throw away that bottle of pills. In fact, it worked so well that not only did I finish college but I went on to chiropractic school myself.

I am not a miracle workerOh, about the mistake, and the regrets I promised to tell you about. Here it is. People tell me I’m a ‘miracle worker’ because before coming to see me, often, nobody else could help them. I used to swell with pride when I heard that kind of thing. But, as time goes on, something has become very clear to me. I’m not a miracle worker. It’s a mistake

to let people think I am. It’s the body that holds the miracle. I just remove nerve interference, and the body does the rest. The body is constantly striving to heal, and to be well. When nerve interference is removed, the body has a greater chance to heal.

I should have made this very clear to all my patients. I regret that I haven’t because the distinction is important. So, I admit it. We get great results, but I don’t deserve the praise. The praise goes to the Creator, and this wonderful body of ours.

My patients come to me with problems like headaches, migraines, chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder or arm pain, whiplash from car accidents, carpal tunnel syndrome, backaches, numbness in limbs and more.

But, as I’ve said, it’s not ‘me’ that cures them of these problems. Here’s why making this distinction is so important. You know, people are taught from very young that ‘health comes from the outside.’ People actually believe that the answer to health always comes in the form of a pill. I don’t believe that. Health is an inside-out process. Our bodies were designed to be self-healing. What I do as a chiropractor works with the body, and not against it. That’s why the results are so profound.

I know that I need to do a better job in the future telling people that, in so many cases, they don’t need to be a slave to drugs. I need to get that message out. I admit I made a mistake. It’s time to correct it.

Third Leading Cause of Death

The present state of our Nation’s health is appalling. Much of that is due to our faith in pills, and being responsible for our health. We wait for a crisis, and often it’s too late. And, we are so brainwashed; believing that the only way to health is through pills. We have become a nation of pill-poppers, and people who do not want to accept responsibility. What’s the result? It’s not good.

The World Health Organization recently completed a study that ranked the U.S. only twenty-ninth in health. This is a startling statistic considering the U.S. is equipped with the most modern technology, and probably some of the finest doctors. So, you’ve got to ask yourself…Are drugs and technology really the answer?

On July 26, 2000, The Journal of the American Medical Association reported that, according to Johns Hopkins, medication errors are the third leading cause of death in the U.S. Is the medical establishment bad? No! But, why not consider safe and effective alternatives?

WASHINGTON (AP) – The U.S. extradited for-mer Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega to France on Monday, clearing the way for him to stand trial there on money launder-ing charges.

The former strongman, who was being held in a federal prison in Miami, was on an Air France fl ight to Paris, according to a De-partment of Justice source who spoke anonymously because he was not autho-rized to comment.

One of Noriega’s law-yers, Yves Leberquier,

confirmed N o r i e g a was headed to France.

“When he arrives, he will be pre-sented to the prosecutor

and notifi ed of the arrest warrant, and he will con-fi rm his opposition” to the warrant, Leberquier said.

At some point today, Noriega will be presented to a Paris judge who will determine whether he should stay in custody pending further action.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Crews raced to protect the Gulf of Mexico coast-line Monday as a remote sub tried to shut off an underwater oil well that’s gushing 42,000 gal-lons a day from the site of a wrecked drilling platform.

If crews cannot stop the leak quickly, they might need to drill an-other well to redirect the oil, a laborious process that could take about two months while oil washes up along a broad stretch of shore, from the white-sand beaches of Florida’s Panhandle to the swamps of Louisiana.

The oil, which could reach shore in as little as three days, is escaping from two leaks in a drill-

ing pipe about 5,000 feetbelow the surface. Thespill has grown to morethan 1,800 square miles,or an area larger thanRhode Island.

Winds and currentscan change rapidly anddrastically, so offi cialswere hesitant to giveany longer forecasts forwhere the spill will head.Hundreds of miles ofcoastline in four statesare threatened.

The oil began spewingout of the sea fl oor afterthe rig Deepwater Ho-rizon exploded April 20and sank two days laterabout 40 miles off theMississippi River delta.Eleven of the 126 work-ers aboard at the time aremissing and presumeddead; the rest escaped.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Supreme Court will decide whether free speech rights are more important than helping parents keep violent mate-rial away from children.

The justices agreed Monday to consider re-instating California’s ban on the sale or rental of violent video games to minors, a law the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco threw out last year on grounds that it violated minors’ constitutional rights.

California Gov. Arnold

Schwarzenegger said hewas pleased the high courtwould review the appealscourt decision.

He said, “We have a re-sponsibility to our kidsand our communities toprotect against the effectsof games that depict ultra-violent actions, just as wealready do with movies.”

However, the judge whowrote the decision over-turning the law said at thetime that there was no re-search showing a connec-tion between violent videogames and psychologicalharm to young people.

YAZOO CITY, Miss. (AP) – Some Mississippi residents cracked jokes Monday to keep from crying while they looked for salvageable items among the rubble left by severe storms that killed 12 people over the weekend.

State offi cials were tallying the cost of the damage so they could ask for an emergency declaration from President Barack Obama, along with federal funds to help clean up the mess. The latest fi gures Monday were grim: In Mississippi alone, nearly 700 homes were damaged, 49

people injured and 10 killed. Two others died in storms in Alabama.

Nancy Luke stepped careful-ly through fallen cinderblocks, cracked mirrors and a broken disco ball in what used to be the Yazoo City bar she managed, Wendy’s On the Hill. The bar was in the center of the mile-wide swath of destruction.

Luke said she and the owner, Wendy Douglas, have been joking with each other to fend off tears.

“She’s a neat freak. This is usu-ally the cleanest bar in town, I tell you,” Luke said.

Most of the bar was obliterated, but the offi ce and the restrooms still stood. Luke said she found three rolls of toilet paper still stacked in a pyra-mid on a tray in the women’s room.

Miss. Gov. Haley Barbour was spending part of the day in neigh-borhoods of his native Yazoo City talking privately with residents.

“When you know everybody, it’s harder,” said Barbour, whose home was undamaged in Saturday’s tor-nado. President Obama called Bar-bour Monday to express concern about the weekend storms.

Bret Ruschewski, landlord of Wendy’s on the Hill, a Yazoo City, Miss., tavern, takes a break Monday from his cleanup to explain how a 500-pound dumpster fi lled with empty beer bottles was picked up by Saturday’s tornado, fl ipped over, emptying the bottles around the collapsing walls and carried off across the neighborhood, landing several miles away.

Student Keith Handford (from left), teachers Jessica Glime and Susan Reinecke, and student Erin Jones are among the cast and advisers for Ragsdale’s production of “Rent.”

BY VICKI KNOPFLERENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

JAMESTOWN – Some student musicians and singers who will perform Thursday view “On Stage!” as a chance to let people know there’s more to Ragsdale High School than its well-known sports teams.

Keith Handford, a senior and a cast member in “Rent,” straddles both worlds; he also plays football for the Tigers.

“A lot of time, people don’t fi nd out about the arts in schools, like they do about sports, so it’s cool to do an ‘On Stage!’ performance to represent your school,” Hand-ford said. “At fi rst I did both, but I think I’ve come to favor drama more than sports now.

“I moved here from New Jer-sey, and I really didn’t play much sports until I moved here. But when I moved here, I did it to

make friends. But I found out singing, dancing and acting is my passion, and I want to turn it into a career.”

Leah Kouchel, a violinist and a se-nior, hasn’t decided on a career yet, but she hopes music will be part of what-ever she chooses. Performing in the small string ensem-

ble has been fun because she’s gotten to know her fellow musi-cians better.

“I want to let the community know that we enjoy playing, and we want people to hear us and to be involved in the community,” Kouchel said. “Usually people will stick with playing in school, but this way, we’re involved in the community.”

Erin Jones, a junior and “Rent” cast member, likens acting to sports, only better. She plans to make dra-ma her career and has taken part in several talent competitions.

“I kind of look at acting as a

sport,” Jones said. “You’ve got people who are good at it, and you’re got people who try out. You have auditions, like try-outs, and it’s something you hone.

“In sports you’re looking for certain types of people, but the-ater gives everybody a chance.”

Saraina Pierre, a senior and a

violinist, has never performed in front of a group as large as the one she’ll face Thursday. She’s a little nervous, she said, but she expects the enjoyment she fi nds in play-ing music to override any fear.

“I feel that it’s important for us to help others to be more aware of the arts and how they can enrich our lives, and to have a good time. Hopefully, we’ll have a good time and he audience will enjoy our music,” she said.

DAVIDSON COUNTY – Three employees of Davidson Coun-ty 911 have been recognized for their dedication, devotion and perseverance to perform their role protecting the county.

Co-workers nominated the trio for the awards after submitting nominations de-scribing the reasons the em-ployees were outstanding professionals in the fi eld of 911 communications.

Josh Myers was awarded the Shift Supervisor of the Year Award after employees

described his dedication to the community by “always keeping his hand on the pulse of what is currently happen-ing and is able to handle it with great effi ciency.”

Lisa Whitaker was award-ed one of two Telecommuni-cators of the Year Awards because co-workers said she “is a very effective and thorough trainer … who re-spects their trainees, backs them up and gives them all of the information they need to get the job done.” Whitaker, who is a fi rst-time winner of the award,

has been an employee of Da-vidson 911 since 2006.

Brandon Mabe was award-ed the second Telecommu-nicator of the Year award. Brandon’s co-workers de-scribed him as a person who “is always willing to offer their assistance and has an excellent rapport with the many constituents served by Davidson County 911 includ-ing clients, other profession-al organizations and fellow employees and … has been an asset to our organization.” Mabe is a fi rst-time winner of the award.

HIGH POINT – The city has a public event scheduled for later this week to highlight the ecological, aes-thetic and economic signifi cance of High Point’s designation as a 2009 Tree City USA.

The Arbor Day Celebration, planned for Friday, will mark the sixth consecutive year High Point has earned the recognition from the Arbor Day Foundation. Com-munities must meet four standards to earn the recognition. They must have a tree board or committee, a comprehensive tree-care ordi-nance, a community forestry pro-gram with a budget of at least $2 per capita, and an annual Arbor Day observance and proclamation.

The city budgeted about $332,000 for its forestry program for 2009, which covers all of the city’s tree-related work, such as planting, purchasing, removal, maintenance and tree trimming for utility lines.

“The benefi t of having trees are they help clean the air, obviously. The help with reduced enery costs, help property values, as well as just make the city more attractive and improve the quality of life,” said Andy Piper, a senior planner for the city.

Another benefi t of being a Tree City USA is that it helps when seek-ing grants for various projects, Pip-er said. The city is going to apply for a grant to fund a tree inventory on city owned or controlled proper-ties in core city areas.

“It would give us a count so we know where we stand,” he said. “It also gives us a tool so we can iden-tify potential planting sites.”

Also Friday, the city’s Urban Forestry Committee will high-light efforts to plant 150 trees over the past year in recognition of the city’s sesquicentennial and intro-duce the new “Plant to Remember” memorial tree program, which will provide people the opportunity to donate a tree in honor or in mem-ory of a loved one.

RALEIGH (AP) – The National Weather Ser-vice has confi rmed that a tornado with winds of up to 80 mph touched down in the area near North Carolina’s capital city.

The weather service re-ported on Monday that an EF-0 tornado struck Zebu-lon, about 20 miles east of Raleigh, and in adjacent Franklin County to the northeast, on Sunday.

No injuries were re-ported. The weather service said several trees were uprooted and fencing damaged at the Zebulon municipal building. Several stores at a local shopping cen-ter suffered damage.

LONDON (AP) – British writer Alan Sillitoe, whose “Saturday Night And Sun-day Morning,” and “The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner” chroni-cled the bleak postwar real-ities of the country’s poor, died Sunday. He was 82.

Sillitoe, a leading mem-ber of the 1950s group of so-called angry young men of British fi ction, was acclaimed for his uncom-promising social criticism and depiction of domestic tensions – often dubbed kitchen sink dramas.

The writer’s son David said his father had died at Lon-don’s Charing Cross hospital, but gave no other details.

Albert Finney starred in the adaptation of “Saturday Night And Sunday Morn-ing,” as a disillusioned young factory worker. In the “The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner,” Tom Courtenay portrayed a young delinquent whose athletic prowess is seized upon by authorities as proof of their ability to re-habilitate troubled youths.

“He put somehow for-

gotten places at center-stage,” British poet Ian MacMillan told the BBC.

Recalling his own mod-est upbringing in Notting-ham, central England, Sillitoe once recalled the smells of “leaking gas, stale fat, and layers of moldering wallpaper.”

In 2008, the author was bestowed with the freedom of Nottingham – an ancient ceremonial honor that al-lows recipients to drove sheep through the center of the city. He was forced to withdraw due to illness.

British author Alan Sillitoe dies at 82

Serial eater gets praise, support for eating habits

D ear Abby: Regard-ing “Ruminating in Rio Rancho” (Feb.

19), whose wife has an is-sue with his eating style, I too am a “serial eater,” and I have taken a fair amount of kidding and abuse over it. However, the tactic of claiming it is poor etiquette to shame the eater is a new one to me.

In my experience, people react to serial eat-ing because it is unusual. I can’t explain why I do it, just as I can’t understand why other people feel they must rotate their bites. I just know it works for me, and their method seems as odd to me as mine does to them.

I recall this subject was mentioned years ago in your mother’s column. The writer said as a boy he was teased for eating this way, but an uncle of his had a different take. The uncle said that he had the capacity to become a great success because he did one thing at a time, and fi nished what he started before moving on.

So, to “Ruminating,” what I advise is: Use your silverware, chew with your mouth closed, and compliment the chef. Tell her/him that each dish is so good that you don’t want to dilute the taste, which would hamper your enjoyment. – Fin-ishing What I Start in Raleigh, N.C.

Dear Finishing: My readers agree unani-mously that a person’s eating habits are a matter of personal choice and “Ruminating’s” wife should resist the urge

to be such a control freak. Read on:

Dear Abby: Eating one portion at a time is not uncommon. During a home-cooked

meal in Thailand, I made the mistake of taking a little from each platter and eating a bit of each one in rotation. My host informed me that in his country one takes a serv-ing from one platter, eats it, and then takes another serving from another, etc.

There is no universal standard for proper etiquette. Customs vary from family to family and country to country. To es-tablish their family “stan-dards,” the couple should discuss and do what they decide. At any meal, I follow my host’s lead and then I am always correct. – Polite In Any Company, Dwayne Ozewalla, Ph.D.

Dear Abby: It is actually proper to rotate selections of food on your dinner plate. A good chef plans meals so that the taste of each selection complements the other, and the polite diner ac-knowledges each one. It’s the second-best “gratu-ity” a chef can receive. Those who formed the habit of eating one item at a time were introduced to this style of eating by their mothers – who opened one jar of baby food, fed their infant from that, then closed the jar and fed them from the

next jar. – Keith From Houston

Dear Abby: “Ruminat-ing” eats the way some dietitians recommend: protein fi rst, vegetables second, starch last. That’s the healthiest way to eat, especially if you are trying to watch what you eat. – Dana From Katy, Texas

Dear Abby: Do as I do, and take your eating to the next level. Instead of just consuming every item completely before moving to the next, try eating alphabetically ... mashed potatoes, meat-loaf, then your peas. – Organized in Utah

Dear Abby: My husband eats his least-favorite thing fi rst and ends with his favorite. This was incorporated as a young boy to make sure he cleaned his plate. I suggested as an option that he eat his favorite fi rst and then, when he gets full, he will stop eating, instead of always cleaning his plate. He has lost a few pounds in the process. – Wife Of Husband From The Clean Plate Club

Dear Abby: Does “Ruminating” know he shares the same style of eating as Albert Einstein? This natural habit is a sign of genius. – Shirley in Brookfi eld, Wis. DEAR ABBY is written by Abi-gail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.Dear-Abby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Demeatrius Montgom-ery is again asking to be declared incompetent to stand trial for the 2007 murders of two Char-lotte-Mecklenburg police offi cers.

Superior Court Judge Albert Diaz last Septem-ber rejected Montgom-ery’s fi rst attempt to be declared incompetent.

The death penalty trial

is set for July. Montgom-ery is charged with two counts of fi rst-degree murder in connection with the slayings of Of-fi cers Sean Clark, 34, and Jeff Shelton, 35, who were both shot in the head as they stood outside the Timber Ridge apart-ments while responding to a domestic dispute.

Montgomery’s lawyers also are asking that the state be prohibited from

seeking the death penaltyagainst Montgomery, 28.

And they’ve asked thatMontgomery’s trial bedelayed so they can col-lect information from thestate in hopes of demon-strating that race is a sig-nifi cant factor in seekingand imposing the deathpenalty in North Caro-lina.

A hearing on the de-fense motions is schedulefor Thursday.

GREENSBORO – The owner of a Pleasant Gar-den kennel at the center of an animal cruelty investigation was or-dered by a judge to pay a $50,400 bond this week or surrender ownership of her seized animals.

The bond was imposed on Sheila Savage, owner of Rush Kennel in Pleas-ant Garden, where au-thorities seized 97 dogs earlier this month.

District Court Judge Angela Foster imposed the bond Monday morn-ing at the request of the county. County attor-ney Mark Payne said Savage has fi ve days to pay the bond or surren-der the animals. Sav-age said she needed to discuss the matter with her attorney before de-ciding whether to pay.

Judge: Kennel owner must pay bond or lose animals

ASHEVILLE (AP) – An Ohio man who authorities say was carrying a gun and driving a car loaded with law enforcement equipment when he said he wanted to see the presi-dent is a “public-service-minded” ham-radio, weather and police buff, acquaintances said Monday.

Joseph Sean McVey, who was spotted by police in an Asheville Re-gional Airport parking lot Sunday just after Air Force One departed, had a note in his car with formulas used for fi ring a rifl e with a scope, authorities said.

McVey did not have a rifl e with him, but the arrest was merited to ensure McVey was not a threat, said Jeff Augram, the airport’s pub-lic safety chief. Knowing McVey’s interests as a radio buff, weather enthusiast and sheriff’s volunteer helped explain many of the items found in his car, Augram said.

“In a post-9/11 culture, we have to

take a pro-active posture,” Augram said.

Acquaintances from his hometown of Coshocton, Ohio, suggested the whole episode may just be a misun-derstanding involving a sometimes overly enthusiastic 23-year-old.

McVey, whose mother lives in Ashe-ville, was being held under a $100,000 secured bond for the misdemeanor charge of going armed in terror of the public. If he posts bail, McVey would be released. The investigation was continuing, but Secret Service spokesman Malcolm Wiley said he did not believe there was a federal agency that wanted him held.

On Monday, he wore a white jail jumpsuit, appeared calm and spoke in a steady voice for a court hearing via video conference. McVey faces up to 120 days in jail if convicted of the misdemeanor, District Judge Pa-tricia Young said. She told him an at-torney had agreed to represent him.

For about two years, McVey has been a member of a volunteer organi-zation that assists the sheriff’s depart-ment with traffi c control at emergen-cy scenes, said Tim Wise, president of Coshocton County Radio Emergency Association Citizen Team.

Wise said he was inclined to be-lieve McVey’s arrest resulted from a misunderstanding. He was un-aware McVey had a gun, but said he did not believe McVey would ever want to harm the president.

McVey’s car was equipped with police gear, including a siren box, a mounted digital camera and LED law enforcement-style strobe lights in the front and rear dash.

“He’s kind of a go-getter, and I know we had to kind of clip his wings a couple times and tell him he needed to watch what he was do-ing out there and slow down a little bit,” Wise said.

McVey’s next court date is June 10.

MCCALTCHY-TRIBUNE NEW SERVICE

SPRING LAKE – Anyone who has spent time driving through Spring Lake has seen the dilapidated houses scattered through town.

They are older homes in disrepair. Some need a new paint job, windows or sid-ing. Others need complete renovations, or are in such a state the only real option is demolition.

HONOR ROLL: See what local school’s students made the top grades.

BY NINA HAMMOND

C hances are that you or someone you know has

high blood pressure; approximately one in three adults in the United States does.

Why is it important to identify and treat high blood pressure?

Maintaining a high blood pressure greatly increases the risk of

heart disease and stroke,

the fi rst- and third-leading causes of death in the United States.

What is blood pres-sure?

It is the force that blood exerts on ar-tery walls as it fl ows through the body. Blood pressure normally rises and falls throughout the day, based on activ-ity and stress levels. It becomes a problem when the levels remain high for a long time.

A normal blood pres-sure is considered to be less than 120/80. Blood pressure is considered high if it is greater than 140/90 and pre-hyperten-sive if it is in-between.

How do you know if you have it?

Often called the “silent killer,” high blood pressure usually has no warning signs or symptoms. The best way to fi nd out is to have it checked regularly. You may be at increased risk of having high blood pressure if you have dia-betes, eat a high sodium diet, are overweight, are physically inactive, con-sume too much alcohol or if you smoke.

If you are diagnosed with high blood pres-sure and are prescribed medicine, be sure to take the medicine as directed. Do not stop taking the medicine be-cause your blood pres-sure is normal, which means the medicine is working, or because you feel fi ne. If you stop treatment without a doctor’s guidance, you may be at risk.

Remember that you probably won’t feel high blood pressure.

How can you prevent high blood pressure?

Healthy lifestyle choices are the best way to prevent or man-age high blood pres-sure. Eat a healthy diet rich with fresh fruits and vegetables and low in saturated fats, cholesterol and salt. Be aware that most processed and restau-rant foods are high in sodium. Get at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week. Control your weight. Don’t smoke, and limit alcohol use.

If you are diabetic, do your best to keep your blood sugar regulated. And, have your blood pressure checked regu-larly.

C-reactive protein is a blood test that detects infl ammation. Infections and illnesses like rheu-matoid arthritis can raise it. It doesn’t point to any specifi c illness; it says only that the body has a site of infl ammation. That’s the old test.

You’re talking about the new C-reactive protein test, hs-C-reac-tive protein. The “hs” stands for “high sensi-tivity.” It’s a new varia-tion of the old test, and it’s used for diagnosis of heart artery infl am-mation. Infl ammation of artery lining leads to the buildup of plaque – a mound of cholesterol, fat and other substances that clings to the artery wall and obstructs blood fl ow through it. The results of this test add to a person’s likelihood of having a heart attack or a stroke. Your value of 3.5 is slightly elevated. The normal hs-C-reactive protein should be less than 3, and some would set the upper limit at 2.

This information has to be taken in light of all the other information that predicts the possibil-ity of a heart attack or stroke – things like total cholesterol, high LDL

cholesterol (bad cho-lesterol), low HDL cholesterol (good cho-lesterol), blood pressure, age, family history of heart at-tacks and strokes,

diabetes, smoking and physical activity.

Exercise, diet changes and smoking cessation are the interventions suited to your hs-C-reac-tive protein result. Daily exercise of eventually 30 minutes is worth your consideration. Walking is an example. Smoking speaks for itself. Your diet ought to focus on fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and go easy on whole-fat dairy products and red meat. You should limit salt. Two servings of fi sh a week help keep arteries free of buildup. If you don’t like fi sh, substi-tute fi sh oil capsules containing omega-3 fatty acids.

Dear Dr. Donohue: What causes restless leg syndrome? Is there a cure? – H.N.

An intensely unpleas-ant sensation – like a crawling, burning or tingling feeling – in the legs that comes on mostly in the evening or night when a person is sitting in a chair or lying in bed is the distinguishing

symptom of restless leg syndrome. The sensation forces a person to get up and walk around to get rid of it.

I wish I could tell you the cause. For a few, it’s iron defi ciency and iron-defi ciency anemia. Or it might represent nerve damage. For most, a cause cannot be found.

One thing that can limitthe severity and frequen-cy of restless leg attacks is to decrease the amount of caffeine drunk. Thirty minutes of daily exercise is another, and walking fi ts the bill.

If medicines are need-ed, Mirapex and Requip might be helpful. They are Parkinson’s disease medicines.

Dear Dr. Donohue: I have had an allergy prob-lem for many years that seems to be due to dust. Itcauses me to sneeze and have a runny nose. When I take one tablet of Reac-tine, it helps me a lot.

I would like to know if there are any foods I can eat to get rid of my allergy. – B.T.

I don’t know of any foodthat rids a person of aller-gies. Some foods cause an allergy, but that’s a story for another day. Have you seen an allergist? Desensitization might help you.

Reactine is the Cana-dian brand name for ceti-rizine, an antihistamine. In the United States, the brand name of that drug is Zyrtec.

SYDNEY (AP) – Thou-sands of frenzied teenag-ers, who spent the night camped out by Sydney Harbour awaiting a con-cert by pop star Justin Bieber, surged toward the venue Monday morning, sending at least eight girls to the hospital and injur-ing several more.

Police canceled the per-formance after the swarm, which may have begun when rumors spread that the 16-year-old Canadian heartthrob had arrived early. In the crush, at least 10 girls fainted, and paramedics had to pull them out of the crowd, according to Australia’s Network Seven. Of the eight sent to the hospital, one fractured her knee cap, though most had hy-perventilated.

“We were expecting this to be the biggest concert we ever had, but we just

couldn’t have foreseen this scale,” said Grant De-nyer, the weather present-er for Network Seven’s Sunrise program, which was planning to broadcast the open-air concert.

Police said the station was well prepared, but that the frenzy of 5,000 fans got out of control.

“They wouldn’t listen to our directions, so hence they left us with no op-

tion,” Deputy Commis-sioner Dave Owens told reporters, adding it was a concern that so many youngsters were out at night without their par-ents.

GENEVA (AP) – Swiss authorities indicated fur-ther delays Monday on a decision to extradite Ro-man Polanski, as they be-gan studying last week’s California court ruling to deny the director sen-tencing in absentia.

Justice Ministry spokesman Folco Galli confi rmed that Switzer-land received an offi cial copy of the ruling that was seen as a crucial loss in Polanski’s battle to avoid being returned to Los Angeles for hav-ing sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl.

Swiss offi cials have been waiting for clarity from the United States about whether the 76-year-old fi lmmaker needs to appear before a U.S. court to be sen-tenced. While that ques-tion appeared largely solved, barring a rever-sal from California’s Supreme Court, Galli dampened expectations of an imminent decision

from Swit-zerland.

“ W e ’ v e said that we will wait for this de-cision to ensure that our pro-

ceedings are harmonized with those in the United States,” Galli told The As-sociated Press.

NEW YORK (AP) – The football star whose life in-spired the book and mov-ie “The Blind Side” is now telling his own story.

Gotham Books an-nounced Monday that Mi-chael Oher’s “I Beat the Odds” will be published in February 2011.

Oher rose from poverty in Memphis to fame as an offensive lineman for the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens. His story became a best-selling book by Michael Lewis and a popular mov-ie starring Sandra Bull-ock as Leigh Anne Tuohy, Oher’s foster mother.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – Kate’s eight are free to appear on their mom’s upcoming reality show.

A spokesman for the Pennsylvania Depart-ment of Labor and Indus-try says producers have obtained child-labor per-mits for Kate Gosselin’s twins and sextuplets to appear with their moth-er on a series of TLC spe-cials, “Kate Plus 8.”

Troy Thompson said Monday that the permits are good for six months, then must be renewed.

Pennsylvania regula-

tors concluded last month that permits should have been obtained for Gos-selin’s old show, “Jon &

Kate Plus 8.” The series ended last year when Kate split with her hus-band, Jon.

Another runJunior League

ready for second Kentucky Derby

fundraiserBY JIMMY TOMLIN

ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H IGH POINT – It may not be Churchill Downs, but the Briles House will welcome

hundreds of Kentucky Derby spectators Saturday, when the Junior League of High Point hosts its second annual Kentucky Derby Party.

The party, a fundraiser for the Junior League, will be from 4 to 7:30 p.m. at the Briles House, the site of the Junior League offi ces.

“It’s turned into a successful fundraiser,” says Beth Earnst, one of the event’s organizers. “It’s a social event and a real fun after-noon, but it’s also raising funds for our programs, and we get good response. We raised approximate-ly $8,500 last year.”

This year’s goal is $10,000, ac-cording to Julie Andrews, who chairs the 2010 event.

“It’ll be a lot of fun,” Andrews says. “You get to get all dressed up and wear your derby hats. We’re gonna have a hat con-test, where the girls will parade around wearing their hats, and they’ll be judged on creativity and

originality, and how well the hat goes with their outfi t. We’ll also have a ‘Pick the Winner’ contest.”

In addition to light hors d’oeuvres, beverages and tradi-tional Kentucky Derby fare such as mint juleps, there will be live music provided by Joey Whita-ker, as well as a silent auction to raise additional funds for Junior League programs. The party will culminate with the watching of the Derby – traditionally billed as “the most exciting two minutes in sports” – on several big-screen televisions.

According to Andrews, guests will be able to bid on more than 50 items in the silent auction. Some of the highlights include:

• More than 10 hours of design consulting time – a $1,000 value – with an architect and designer from Interlandi and Associates of Kernersville.

• A Slane necklace from Simon Jewelers, valued at $341.

• Several getaway packages, including a trip to Asheville’s Grove Park Inn, the same

swanky resort President and Mrs. Obama visited this past weekend.

• A day and dinner for two at Biltmore Estate, also in Ashe-ville.

• A one-night stay and dinner for two at the J.H. Adams Inn in High Point.

• Bed-and-breakfast packages.• Spa packages.• Tickets to sporting events.Tickets to the Kentucky Derby

Party are $25 apiece, and all proceeds will go to the Junior League for its numerous com-munity projects, including Kids in the Kitchen, the historic preservation of the Briles House, and the organization’s signature project, the Children’s Learning Center, which will be opened to the community next month.

For more information, call the Junior League offi ce at 889-5479.


WANT TO GO?----The Junior League of High Point’s second annual Ken-tucky Derby Party will be held Saturday, from 4 to 7:30 p.m., at the Junior League head-quarters, located at the Briles House, 1103 N. Main St.

Tickets are $25 apiece and are available at the Junior League offi ce between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. weekdays, and at Harrison’s Restaurant, Simon Jewelers and High Point Jew-elers. They can also be pur-chased from any Junior League member.

na Easton, 51; Ace Frehley, 59; Anouk Aimee, 78; Casey Kasem, 78

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You’ll be able to pick up valuable information this year that will help you get ahead personally, professionally and fi nancial-ly. Impulsiveness and impatience will be an issue but, if you can put that energy into something con-structive, the sky is the limit. Don’t let someone else’s uncertainty slow you down or cloud your vi-sion. Your numbers are 3, 11, 19, 21, 23, 30, 42

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Speak freely about the way you feel and what you want to see unfold. You will get some honest, helpful input. Your in-tuition and ability to deal with red tape and part-nership matters will enable you to fi nish a project from a long time ago. ★★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may fi nd an interesting idea with which you want to partici-pate. Your contributions will be welcome. A short business trip will bring good results and give you greater confi dence in what you are doing. ★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Something you do that is out of the ordinary will capture attention and will be the deciding factor regarding your future. Make a commitment and follow through with perfection, precision and a charismatic pre-sentation. ★★★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may not rel-ish the thought of trying something new or making a geographical change but the bonus that comes with being adaptable will allow you far greater creative opportunities. Don’t let your emotions rule your head. ★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Opposition will leave you questioning whether or not you are doing the right thing. You won’t be able to please everyone but you, above everyone else, have to live with your decisions. Once you are happy with your choices, everything will fall into place. ★★★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The more you fi nd out and can adapt to something you want to pur-sue, the better equipped you will be when the time comes. Get everything in order but do not make your move until you feel confi dent you have not overlooked any details. ★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There is a chance to turn a friendship into a unique type of partner-ship. Your fi nances will be affected by a decision you make. Before you decide, consider which choice will help to eliminate the pressure you are feeling. ★★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The questions you’ve been asking in the past will come back to haunt you if you haven’t found a suitable answer. You do need to undergo some changes in your life. Be sure before you venture down a path of no re-turn. ★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Drum up a little excitement and get others to participate in one of your plans. The more hype you create, the more pressure will be put on you to obtain posi-tive results. Don’t promise anything you cannot deliver. ★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take a back seat and a wait and watch attitude. Something does not add up and you don’t want to get caught in the crossfi re. Don’t give in to someone or some-thing based on your emotions. ★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will be able to use your assets to get what you want or to clear up an old debt. Taking care of your responsibili-ties will encourage others to deal with you more readily. Don’t let someone from your past come back into your life. ★★★★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Reinvent what you do or how you do things. Look at your attributes and combine them with what you enjoy most. Be-ing responsible and admitting to past mistakes will help you move forward now. ★★★

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid confl icts; 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.

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

I’ve heard optimism de-fi ned as the point of view that everything is beauti-ful, including that which is ugly. To beat today’s contract, East must make an ugly-looking play and hope it turns out beauti-fully. (To test your own defense, cover the West and South cards.)

Against South’s con-tract of four spades, West leads the king of hearts, and you take your ace. What do you lead at the second trick?

DISCARDSSuppose East makes the

obvious shift to the king of diamonds. South can carefully play low and win the next diamond. He can draw trumps, lose a club fi nesse to East’s king, and later discard his remain-ing hearts on the clubs, losing only three tricks in all.

East needs four tricks to beat four spades and must be an optimist to get them. East must lead a LOW dia-mond at Trick Two, hop-ing West has the ten.

If South takes the ace, draws trumps and fi -nesses in clubs, East wins and leads a second low diamond, letting West get in to cash a heart for the setting trick.

DAILY QUESTIONYou hold: S 7 6 2 H A D K

Q J 3 2 C K 8 5 4. Your part-ner opens one spade, you respond two diamonds and he bids two hearts. The opponents pass. What do you say?

ANSWER: You must force to game, hence jump to three spades. To bid 3NT, suppressing your spade fi t, would be mas-terminding; if partner has Q 10 8 4 3, K Q 7 6, 4, A Q 3, he can try 3NT next. Nor should you bid three clubs before supporting the spades since that se-quence would imply slam interest.

WHO’S NEWS---

Former Wes-leyan Christian Academy soc-cer star Richard Eurillo was presented the Greensboro Col-lege President’s men’s Scholar Athlete Award on Sunday.

Greensboro College la-crosse standout Layne Woodard received the women’s award.

The son of Charles and Brenda Eurillo, Richard Eurillo hails from Trinity. He studies in GC’s rigorous athletic training program and carries a 3.4 grade point average. Rich-ard is President of Greensboro College’s athletic training club and serves as a resi-dent advisor on campus.

A three-year member of the Pride men’s soc-cer program, Richard battled back from serious injury to rejoin the team this year.

A defender, he played in 10 games for GC this season.

M att Moore entered the NFL Draft feel-ing pretty confi dent about his status as the Carolina Panthers starting

quarterback.By the time the three-day pro football

marathon selection show ended, Moore felt plenty of company.

Carolina drafted three quarterbacks, although the team plans to move third-round pick Armanti Edwards of Appalachian State to wide receiver.

That leaves second-round pick Jimmy

Clausen of Notre Dame and sixth-round pick Tony Pike of Cincinnati to battle Moore and holdover Hunter Cantwell at a suddenly-crowded quarterback position.

While most pre-draft scenarios slotted Pike as a second- or third-round pick, the real stunner was Carolina landing Clausen at No. 48 overall. Clausen was considered a fi rst-round lock in most circles and the former Irish star seemed an impossible dream for the Panthers.

Now, that dream is a reality.

Look for Clausen and Moore to wage a spir-ited competition for the starting job.

Moore is clearly the front-runner right now, but much can change between now and September. It would not surprise me to see Clausen earn the starting nod sometime this season if Moore falters.

The long-time prognosis for Clausen in Carolina looks even more promising.

But time will tell.– MARK MCKINNEY

HIT AND RUN---

AP

Please fence me in!Dennis Setzer (92) crashes into Paul Menard (98) and sails into the catch fence as Kenny Wallace passes by during the NASCAR Na-tionwide Series Aaron’s 312 at Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega, Ala. on Sunday night. Setzer, a former Caraway champion, was not injured in the crash. His car did not reach the stands, but the fence was damaged.

P erhaps it shouldn’t come as a shock that Talladega Superspeedway was the

place that Kevin Harvick broke a 115-race victory drought given the track is known for producing

quirky outcomes.It also didn’t

come as a shock that Harvick used the victory to over-shadow the bad news of earlier in the week that Shell-Pennzoil is moving to Penske Racing next year.

“I think it’s great karma with every-thing that has hap-

pened this week with the sponsor and everything,” Harvick said. “I think it’s kind of funny in itself. It’s really good for our team. Our cars have been running well all year and we were really close to winning races, but the karma thing is the best part.”

Karma isn’t exactly something you would have heard David Pearson or Cale Yarborough or Bobby Allison talk about 25 years ago. But, this is the 21st century, and maybe that’s the right thing to have to ward off the evil spirits at a place built near an old Indian burial ground.

The good karma ended several weeks of frustrations. Harvick

lost the lead on the fi nal lap of the Day-tona 500 to Jamie McMurray, whom Harvick edged at the fi nish on Sunday. He lost at California when a late caution fl ag put Jimmie

Johnson in the lead.“I really feel good about every-

thing the 29 team has going right now,” car owner Richard Chil-dress said. “We want to win the championship.”

From a numbers perspective, Childress had reason to mention the championship word although 17 races remain to determine the 12 drivers who will qualify for the Chase for the Championship playoff.

Harvick left Talladega second in the standings, just 26 points behind Jimmie Johnson, whose driving error resulted in a crash and his second DNF of the year, negating the ground that Harvick lost during a string of unspec-tacular outings.

“I think this shows the fact of the matter that we are a top-notch team,” said Harvick’s crew chief, Gil Martin. “We’re looking for (a sponsor) to come on board and start a new chapter with them.”

Being a title contender once again would give Childress a

much-needed boost in the sponsorship search. He does have the luxury of having six or seven months to lock down a company. That’s a much bet-ter situation than

confronts Bobby Labonte and the TRG team that fi elds his cars.

Labonte left Talladega know-ing that the second-year outfi t, which is backed by Taxslayer.com for some races, doesn’t have a sponsor for this weekend at Richmond.

“That’s going to make it a long week,” Labonte said.

That comes after a long day at Talladega which started out looking promising when he got as high as third in the draft. When it mattered, however, Labonte was never unable to match his earlier gains while several cars who stayed back over the fi rst 375 miles started to race when it mattered.

“There wasn’t much difference from the beginning of the race to the end with the car,” Labonte said. “I think when we were near the front in the beginning, some cars were holding back. At the end when everyone starts to move, that’s when you need to go. Why was (McMurray) bad in the beginning but fi nished second?

That’s just Talladega.”The good times disappeared

when Labonte lost the draft and was spun by David Reutimann coming off turn two on lap 176 of what became a 200-lap event.

“He was pushing me and just helped a little too much,” La-bonte said.

Labonte’s Chevrolet skidded to a stop without sustaining dam-age. Later, his luck turned worse as he went into the third turn as part of a four-abreast pattern on lap 189. Labonte was to the left of Ryan Newman when Joey Lo-gano pushed Newman into a spin. Newman slammed into Labonte in what became a 10-car wreck.

“When you fell back, you couldn’t get a good run without the right help,” Labonte said. “I passed Elliott Sadler going into turn one and he had a head of steam going down the back-stretch. I tried to block him by staying in the middle and then Newman went to the outside of me. Then someone hit Newman and he came down in front of me, and we got in the wreck.”

A spokesperson for Labonte said TRG doesn’t plan to become a start-and-park effort at Rich-mond if it doesn’t fi nd a sponsor.

“We need some help,” Labonte said before leaving Alabama.

And some karma. [email protected] | 888-3519

Drivers deal with different karma

Harvick Labonte

BY BRYAN STRICKLANDENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

DURHAM – Coming off a national championship run in which big-ger was better for Duke, the Blue Devils have secured the services of another big man for the future.

Tyler Adams, a 6-9, 255-pound post player out of Mississippi, has made a verbal commitment to play for Duke beginning in 2011.

Adams, who averaged 17 points and 11 rebounds as a junior at Brandon High School, picked Duke over Memphis, Mississippi State and Alabama among others.

Scout.com recruiting analyst Dave Telep ranks Adams as the 14th-best center prospect in the class of 2011 and a top-100 prospect

regardless of posi-tion.

Adams is some-what of a traditional, back-to-the-basket type of post player, but his high school coach said he is more polished than many

similar post players his age.“He’s 6-9 and he’s 255, but he’s

very mobile. A kid that size is usu-ally a little bit clumsy,” Brandon coach Fredrick Barnes said. “He’s just a competitor and a smart kid. He loves basketball, and he wants to get better. I think he has all the things that Coach K is looking for. Coach K loves the way that he can move on the court.”

Duke’s recent run to the NCAA

title featured a trio of high-scoring perimeter players who benefi ted from the presence of 7-footer Brian Zoubek, who made a living late in his college career grabbing offensive rebounds and spotting shooters.

Zoubek was a senior, so the Blue Devils are expected to feature brothers Miles and Mason Plum-lee – more face-the-basket type of big men – in the 2010-11 season, along with already signed fresh-man Josh Hairston.

Adams can’t offi cially sign un-til November. The same goes for Duke’s other verbal commitment to date for the class, 6-6 forward Michael Gbinije out of Richmond. In addition, the Blue Devils still are considering several other top prospects for the class.

NFL DRAFT VIEWERSHIPSETS RECORD---

NEW YORK (AP) – More than 45 million viewers watched a portion of the NFL draft on three television channels, easily a record.

A total viewership of 45.4 million tuned in to the 75th draft on NFL Network, ESPN and ESPN2. That’s up 16 per-cent from last year’s record of 39 million, according to Nielsen Media Research.

Draft viewership has nearly doubled during the last de-cade, from 23.5 million in 2001.

In addition, a record 12,275 fans attended the draft at Radio City Music Hall. Of course, this was the fi rst three-session draft.

TRIVIA QUESTION---Q. Which Hall-of-Fame slugger fi nished his career with 2,597 strikeouts?

HORSE RACING---Derby favorite Eskendereya

out with swollen legLOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Todd Pletcher

sank into the chair and wearily turned toward the cameras.

The Eclipse Award-winning trainer has grown accustomed to disappointment at the Kentucky Derby — where he’s winless in 24 starts — but never quite like this.

Pletcher pulled likely favorite Eskendereya (pronounced Es-ken-der-AE-ah) out of the Derby on Sunday due to swelling in the 3-year-old chestnut colt’s left front leg.

Eskendereya had been so dominant in winning the Wood Memorial and Fountain of Youth Stakes by a combined 18 1⁄4 lengths he would have easily been the morning line fa-vorite when the expected 20-horse fi eld is set Wednesday afternoon.

Oddsmaker Mike Battaglia said he could have put the odds on Eskendereya as low as 9-5, an eye-poppingly low number in a race as wide-open as the Derby.

BOSTON – The New England Patriots on Mon-day released former Pro Bowl linebacker Adalius Thomas, who joined the team as a high-profi le free agent in 2007, but fell into disfavor with coach Bill Belichick last season.

The decision, an-nounced by the team on Monday, leaves Thomas, 32, free to sign with any other NFL team. His agent, Bus Cook, did not immediately return a phone message.

The linebacker signed a fi ve-year, $35 million deal with the Patriots af-ter seven seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, where he played alongside Ray Lewis. He was voted to the Pro Bowl in 2003 and again in 2006.

Thomas had 14 1⁄2 sacks in his three seasons in New England. But his lowest total came in 2009, when he had only three sacks.

The Patriots drafted line-backer Brandon Spikes in the second round last week and also selected his Florida teammate, Jermaine Cunningham, who played defensive end in college but may be con-

verted to linebacker inthe pros.

Thomas’ departureleaves New England thinat outside linebacker,with Tully Banta-Cain thetop returning veteran.

PITTSBURGH (AP) – Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger says he won’t appeal his six-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.

Emphasizing he committed no crime, Roethlisberger apologized Monday to his teammates and fans for his behavior last month in a Georgia bar, where a 20-year-old college student accused him of sexual assault. He also admitted he is disappointed with himself and promised to make the changes expected of him by the league and his team.

Roethlisberger was cleared of charges because a prosecutor says the case was not strong enough to pursue, but he was chastised by authorities and NFL commission-er Roger Goodell for his behavior.

In a short statement released by the team, Roethlisberger promised

he will not put himself in such a situation again.

“The commissioner’s decision to suspend me speaks clearly that more is expected of me. I am ac-countable for the consequences of my actions. Though I have com-mitted no crime, I regret that I have fallen short of the values in-stilled in me by my family,” Roeth-lisberger said in the statement. “I will not appeal the suspension and will comply with what is asked of me — and more.”

In his fi rst comments since being suspended Wednesday by Goodell, Roethlisberger said it will be “dev-astating” to miss games.

“I am sorry to let down my team-mates and the entire Steelers fan base. I am disappointed that I have reached this point and will not put myself in this situation again,” Roethlisberger said. “I appreciate

the opportunities that I have been given in my life and will make the necessary improvements.”

Roethlisberger is the fi rst player suspended by Goodell under the conduct policy who hasn’t been arrested or charged with a crime. Goodell said the league’s conduct policy gave him the right to impose discipline regardless of whether Roethlisberger broke the law.

“In your six years in the NFL, you have fi rst thrilled and now dis-appointed a great many people,” Goodell wrote. “I urge you to take full advantage of this opportunity to get your life and career back on track.”

The suspension can be reduced to four games if Roethlisberger completes an evaluation mandat-ed by the league, any action that is mandated by that evaluation and he remains out of trouble. He can practice during training camp .

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Treasury Depart-ment said Monday that it plans to sell up to 1.5 bil-lion shares of Citigroup stock, its latest move to unwind the support it provided big banks dur-ing the fi nancial crisis.

The sales, which amount to about 20 percent of the government’s ownership stake, could begin as soon as Monday, according to a person familiar with the transaction. The person wasn’t authorized to speak on the record about the deal.

The government re-ceived about 7.7 billion shares, or a 27 percent ownership stake, as com-pensation for the massive support it extended to the bank during the height of the fi nancial crisis in late 2008. Treasury said last month that it would soon begin selling its Citigroup stock and planned to com-plete the sales this year.

The sales should earn a tidy profi t for the govern-ment, which purchased the common stock in the

summer of 2009 at a share price of $3.25. Citigroup shares fell 19 cents, or 3.9 percent, to $4.67 in mid-day trading Monday.

If the government sold all its 7.7 billion shares at $4.70, it would receive about $36.2 billion in pro-ceeds. That’s $11.2 billion above the $25 billion it paid for the shares.

By selling its stock over time, the Treasury is tak-ing a risk that Citigroup’s share price could dip be-low $3.25, resulting in a loss on some of the sales, said Linus Wilson, assis-tant professor of fi nance at the University of Loui-siana at Lafayette.

But “there’s a very good chance” that Treasury will be able to sell between 50 million and 100 million shares a day “and exit with a profi t,” Wilson said.

In a statement Monday, Treasury said it planned to proceed with the sales of the Citigroup common stock “in an orderly fashion un-der a pre-arranged trading plan with Morgan Stanley, Treasury’s sales agent.”

NEW YORK (AP) – Econo-mists are more optimistic about growth this year as in-dustries increasingly report better profits and add new jobs, though they still expect the recovery to remain slow, a new survey shows.

Seventy percent of those surveyed by The National Association for Business Economics believe real GDP will grow by more than 2 percent this year, up from 61 percent who said the same in January.

Twenty-four percent are predicting real GDP will grow by more than 3 per-cent in 2010, up from 14 percent earlier this year.

The NABE forecast, re-leased Monday, shows fewer jobs are being shed, more are being created and more companies are making money. But rising wages and materials costs, weak pricing power and still-tight credit conditions may be curbing capital spending.

Stocks end mixed despitestrong reports

WASHINGTON (AP) – Undaunted by a Senate set-back, Democrats appeared increasingly confi dent Monday they will be able to take advantage of Amer-icans’ anger at Wall Street and push through the most sweeping new controls on fi nancial institutions since the Great Depression.

The Senate, in a 57-41 vote, failed to get the 60 sup-porters needed to proceed on the regulatory overhaul. One Democrat, Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska, joined with the Republicans.

But the evening vote was just part of a legislative ballet keeping bipartisan talks alive. At the end, Sen-ate Majority Leader Harry Reid switched his vote to “no,” too, but that was just a maneuver that will en-

able him to call for a new tally as early as today.

Democrats believe that public pressure and the scent of a Wall Street scan-dal have given them the upper hand. Republicans themselves have taken up the Democrats Wall Street-bashing rhetoric and have voiced hope that a bill will ultimately pass. In that light, the path to fi nal approval seems clearer than it ever did during the contentious debate over health care.

The fi nancial overhaul bill is a priority of Presi-dent Barack Obama and, after health care, its pas-sage would build on his legislative successes – an important political con-sideration in an election year. The House has al-ready passed its version

of new bank regulations.Less than an hour before

the scheduled vote, the White House issued its offi -cial endorsement of the bill, saying Obama would op-pose adding any loopholes.

Following the vote, the president said he was “deeply disappointed” and urged Senators to put the interests of the coun-try ahead of party.

“Some of these senators may believe that this ob-struction is a good political strategy, and others may see delay as an opportunity to take this debate behind closed doors, where fi nan-cial industry lobbyists can water down reform or kill it altogether,” Obama said in a statement.

“But the American peo-ple can’t afford that.”

MIAMI (AP) – Incidents of residential mortgage fraud increased last year, a sign that scammers are still targeting the indus-try despite more diligent efforts to fi nd and report such activity.

The number of mort-gage fraud reports among loans made in 2009 grew 7 percent, a smaller in-crease than the 26 percent jump seen the previous year, according to a study released Monday by the LexisNexis Mortgage As-set Research Institute.

Since the housing boom, lenders have tightened their underwriting stan-dards, requiring larger down payments, stronger credit histories and reli-able proof of income. Law enforcement agencies also have created investi-gative teams to fi ght mort-

gage fraud. These efforts should make it harder for consumers and industry professionals to commit mortgage fraud.

The slower growth rate is being attributed to better reporting and policing for fraud activity, but there’s more to it. The report also said more scammers are us-ing technology to access in-formation and allow them to remain anonymous by using the Internet.

“It remains critical for those in the mortgage in-dustry to reassess their processes, work together by sharing information and reporting incidents of fraudulent activity, and ready themselves for more complex schemes in order to continue the fi ght against mortgage fraud,” said Denise James, a co-author of the report.

Mortgage fraud rises 7 percent

CHICAGO (AP) – Hertz Global Holdings Inc. said Monday it has agreed to buy rival Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group for about $1.17 billion in cash and stock as it tries to ex-pand its vacationer busi-ness.

Shares of both compa-nies soared.

The deal will give Hertz, already the world’s larg-est car rental company, a third more locations around the globe, boosting

its total to 9,800. More im-portantly, it will also give Hertz’s leisure segment a much-needed boost when it assumes control of the company’s Dollar and Thrifty brands.

“Together we will be able to compete even more ef-fectively and effi ciently against other multi-brand car rental companies, offer-ing customers a full range of rental options in the U.S.,” Hertz CEO Mark Frissora said in a statement.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) – Help is on the way for debt-stricken Greece, but fears of an eventual fi nan-cial disaster still haunt the country and the rest of the 16-nation eurozone.

A €45 billion bailout package from other eu-rozone countries and the International Monetary Fund should see Greece through its borrowing needs for this year. But the bailout is complicated by German grumbling, which continued Monday, about the burden of the bailout on its own fi nances.

More than that, bond markets are still fl ashing warning lights that some-day Greece might say it can’t pay – and announce a restructuring or default.

That kind of collapse wouldn’t be unprecedent-

ed – it notably occurred in both Argentina and Russia in 2001 and 1998 – but could spread the debt crisis to other troubled eurozone countries such as Portugal, Spain and Ireland. That could make lenders even more reluctant, bringing higher borrowing costs for governments that would crimp what they can do for people across Europe for years to come.

A key indicator – the in-terest rate gap, or spread, between Greek and bench-mark German 10-year bonds trading on fi nancial markets – jumped to a re-cord 6.5 percentage points Monday, the fi rst day of markets opening after Ath-ens asked for the eurozone-IMF rescue to be activated on Friday.

The gap translates into

an interest rate approach-ing 10 percent if the govern-ment were to try to raise money on the markets – three times what econom-ic powerhouse Germany pays. Squirming between a massive budget defi cit and a €300 billion public debt, the spiraling borrow-ing costs forced Athens on Friday to request the res-cue package.

Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou said he expected the IMF board would approve its por-tion of the loan support – around a quarter of the total – in the fi rst 10 days of May. If some European parliaments were delayed in approving their contri-butions, the IMF support could be used to obtain bridge fi nancing from oth-er sources.

Greek crisis could spread

BRIEFS–Merck buys rights to potential lung drug

TRENTON, N.J. – Drugmaker Merck & Co. said Monday it has bought rights to help market what would be the fi rst anti-infl amma-tory pill for a chronic lung condition, just a few days after Europe-an regulators recom-mended approval there.

The deal gives Merck rights to jointly market Daxas, made by Swiss drugmaker Nycomed, for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in Canada and several European countries. Merck, based in White-house Station, N.J., alsoreceived an exclusive distribution deal for the United Kingdom.

If approved, Daxas would be the fi rst drug ina new class of treatmentsfor chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
