Officials: Jobs program missing link to cutting crime BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – High Point is adding a component to a crime-reduction strategy that has become a national model. Officials with the High Point Police Department and High Point Community Against Violence are working to set up a contract with America Works, a New York-based company that helps find work for people with criminal records and other hard-to-serve job-seekers. “This thing has been a long time in the making, and we’re anxious to get it rolling,” said police Chief Jim Fealy. “They have a class program that produces results. We have a class program that produces results. We’re going to

put the two together and, we really think, have a home run.” City Council last week approved the $100,000 contract, $55,000 of which was raised by business Fealy leaders in the community who comprise HPCAV’s advisory board. The city will fund the remaining amount. The goal of the arrangement is to strengthen what has been regarded as the weak link in the police department’s strategy for dealing with chronic offenders who drive the majority of violent crime: placing them in jobs to direct them away from a criminal lifestyle. “In the past, we’ve had people that were right on the tipping

point,” Fealy said. “They were, we believed, sincere about wanting to make lifestyle changes, sincere about wanting to avoid crime, sincere about wanting to avoid prison, and we just weren’t able to strike with the resources they needed to make those changes quickly enough.” Police and HPCAV representatives plan to choose 33 chronic offenders from a list of about 100 to undergo 40 hours of job readiness training, job placement and monitoring by America Works to make sure they stay in the position. All 33 will have felony convictions, some of which involve acts of violence. “We’re going to try to take the most risky and use them first,” Fealy said. “The first year of the contract will be kind of a demo

or pilot. During that first year of the contract, we’ll be looking for funding sources to sustain it.” America Works “has been successful everywhere they’ve gone” in making living-wage jobs available to ex-offenders who have little or no employment history. It has operated in large cities in the northeast, California and elsewhere, but High Point will be its first foray into the Southeast. “Our thinking is, if we have this tool available to latch on to them quickly enough, they will see the offer of help from the community as entirely sincere,” Fealy said. “They’ll be involved in the process and hopefully not return to that life of offending.” pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Voters swing back between parties at breakneck pace BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – What a difference a year can make in politics – or, to be more precise, 13 months. In December 2008, Republicans were free-falling from losses in the fall general election. The party was scrambling to save a final Senate seat in the rock-solid Republican state of Georgia, where Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., was forced into a runoff against little-known former Democratic state legislator Jim Martin. Chambliss emerged from the runoff victorious. Fast-forward to last week. Massachusetts state legislator Scott Brown, an obscure Republican politician outside New England as little as a month ago, soundly defeated Democratic Senate nominee Martha Coakley to capture the seat

Fickle electorate. 2A of the late Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy. Brown won the special election in one of the most solidly Democratic states in the nation. The change from late 2008 to today may show that shifts in political cycles, which historically have taken decades to play out, may be compressing into breakneck periods of time, area political analysts say. “We used to talk about political realignments in these 32-year, 36year cycles. But in recent years, we’ve been having these cycles take place in about two years. What we’ve seen happen from 2006 to today is really a very ac-

celerated pace,” said John Dinan, professor of political science at Wake Forest University. Democrats, for example, dominated Congress for decades leading up to the 1994 takeover by Republicans. Then the Republicans held sway for 12 years, “which actually, historically, is a short period of time when you compare it to other cycles,” said Matthew DeSantis, assistant professor of political science at High Point University. One reason voters might be shifting from one party to the other more quickly is the media saturation coverage of elections, DeSantis said. “But I also think there’s a misinterpretation that politicians are falling into today. Politicians in both parties misinterpret mandates. They get elected with 53 percent of the vote and go, ‘We have a mandate from the

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR NEWSPAPER.

American people.’ No you don’t,” DeSantis said. “Politicians today forget there’s a significant and critical mass in the minority. All you need is a couple of percentage points here and there to flip back over – become discontent with what you’re doing – and suddenly you’re out of office.” Another reason for the rapid shift in the electorate may relate to what Dinan terms the “nationalization” of congressional races. Elections that used to revolve around local or state matters now involve national campaign groups and money. “Congressional elections are as likely to be nationalized as they are to be localized. When you have these nationalized elections, it allows for national trends to have an effect more swiftly,” Dinan said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Free vaccine clinics offered BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Health officials are offering another round of influenza vaccinations in advance of the expected season peak next month. The Guilford County Department of Public Health will hold two public flu vaccination clinics from 4-7 p.m. Wednesday at Christ United Methodist Church, 1300 N. College Drive, and at Moses Cone Med Center, 2630 Willard Dairy Road. Both clinics will offer H1N1 and seasonal flu vaccine. Although outbreaks of both seasonal and H1N1 flu cases are not considered widespread in the state, the peak of the season is expected next month. The flu season often lasts through May. “I know everyone is thinking that H1N1 has come and gone, so that must be the end of flu season. But we are just moving into the traditional flu season, and H1N1 remains unpredictable,” said Kathy Haddix-Hill, Moses Cone executive

director of emergency services. “We never thought we would see a flu outbreak in June. But we did.” Most health agencies have reported ample supplies of H1N1 vaccines. The H1N1 vaccination is for anyone 6 months of age and older. The seasonal flu vaccine is for anyone 4 years of age and older. No appointment is needed to attend the clinics, and both vaccines will be provided free of charge. Kerr Drug has joined the group of pharmacies offering vaccines in stores and at employer sites. “Kerr Drug has an adequate supply of H1N1 vaccine so we are able to provide the vaccine to anyone (ages 14 years or older) who wants it,” Joe Heidrick, director of the clinical subsidiary of Kerr Drug, said last week. “Those at high risk include children and young adults, pregnant women and people with chronic health problems such as asthma and heart disease.” dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

ARCHDALE – The Archdale City Council tonight will hear a report concerning its audit for the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2009. Lori Nurse, Archdale’s finance director, said Wade Greene, of Whiteville-based S. Preston Douglas & Associates LLP, will present an audit report that will indicate the City Council has a clean audit, which the city received last year. “We did really well this year because we anticipated the reduction in revenues because of the economy,” Nurse said. “We held back there. Even as things looked worse, we went in and we did budget amendments. ... It was a good year of holding back and putting things in the fund balance.” Nurse said city officials will be showing at a February City Council retreat “how that fund balance is needed.” According to the audit,

Cost: There is no outof-pocket expense to receive the vaccinations. People should bring their insurance card or Medicaid card if they have one. Children already scheduled to receive the H1N1 vaccination at the Health Department will be offered a seasonal flu vaccination during the same visit, as the supply lasts. Flu vaccine locator: Visit www.flu.nc.gov to find a flu vaccine provider. Others: Rite Aid is offering H1N1 flu shots. Visit www.riteaid.com/H1N1. Go to www.cvs.com and www.minuteclinic. com to check on clinics at CVS pharmacies. Vaccines are $15 at many pharmacies. Walgreen also is offering H1N1 vaccinations.

“Whenever there are tough economic times, you are going to look to the people in power,” said Matthew DeSantis, assistant professor of political science at High Point University. Voters are giving Democrats and Republicans a short time frame to come into power and make changes that better the lives of a broad section of Americans, Moseley said. “A lot of this is based on the loss of security as far as jobs are concerned. People are suffering unprecedented hardship, and the government, they feel, is not really taking them seriously about it. There is a disconnect, they feel, between what’s happening in their daily lives and what is viewed as being important by public officials,” Moseley said. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

The man told Perez it was the only $5 he had, but he wanted it to go to Haiti. “I think it’s just the spirit of this community and this county,” Perez said. “We are always looking to help others more often than ourselves. That’s what I think about this county.” While most relief efforts are being carried out by officials through national organizations rather than groups of individuals, Perez said monetary donations are the best way to support relief efforts at this time. Stray donated items and inexperienced volunteers won’t further the efforts, he said. “We aren’t asking the public to give any type

Custody dispute sparked shooting, deputies say BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

DAVIDSON COUNTY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An altercation over a child dispute resulted in a man being shot in the Pilot community of Davidson County on Sunday night, according to the Davidson County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. At 8:30 p.m., deputies responded to a reported

shooting that occurred on Chapel Drive. When deputies arrived they were informed the Hepler victim, Kiel McKenzie, 25, unknown address, had been shot once in the abdominal area and had been trans-

ported by a private vehicle to Thomasville Medical Center. The sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office said McKenzie later was transferred to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. Sheriff David Grice said Monday McKenzie had non life-threatening injuries. A Wake Forest University Baptist Medi-

cal Center spokeswoman said McKenzieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t available Monday. Deputies investigated the shooting to find out that McKenzie was shot during an altercation with Michael Shawn Hepler over a child custody dispute, according to a sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office press release.

Deputies also allege Hepler fired two other shots into a vehicle that was leaving the area after the shooting. The sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office has charged Hepler, 27, of 356 Chapel Drive, Thomasville, with felony assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury and a count of felony discharging

weapon into occupied property. Grice said the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office is continuing to investigate the shooting. Hepler, who has a court date set for Feb. 16, was placed in the Davidson County Jail under a $5,000 secured bond. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Fire and rescue work at the scene of a fatal accident just south of the town of Dallas Monday. A tree fell onto a car, killing the driver.

Flooding, winds leave 1 dead ported several homes were evacuated because of the flooding. State Department of Transportation crews spent Monday assessing damages and working to open roads affected by the heavy rain. The majority of the flooding occurred in the western Piedmont and western North Carolina. Many secondary roads in those areas were closed, but are expected to reopen when high waters recede.

Developer linked to Easley quits toll road board RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A Wilmington businessman politically connected to former Gov. Mike Easley resigned Monday from the state toll road authority, days after a former Easley aide was indicted on charges of unlawfully profiting from a development involving the businessman. Lanny Wilson sent his letter resigning from the North Carolina Turnpike Authority board of directors to Senate leader Marc Basnight, D-Dare, who had picked

him for the panel. Wilson, who was the authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice chairman, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give a reason for his departure. Last Thursday, Wilson resigned from the state Board of Transportation because he wanted to â&#x20AC;&#x153;avoid further unnecessary distractionsâ&#x20AC;? that would impede Gov. Beverly Perdueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation reforms, according to his resignation letter. The Board of Transportation letter was released hours before a federal grand jury indicted for-

mer Easley aide Ruffin Poole on 51 federal corruption charges. Poole was Easleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former special counsel and aide during the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two terms. Government prosecutors allege Poole accepted gifts from a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wilmington financierâ&#x20AC;? unidentified in the indictment. The indictment said Easley appointed the financier to the transportation board in 2001, just as Wilson was. Wilson was the only board member from Wilmington.

The DOT said the heavy rain led to blocked culverts, small mudslides and debris washed onto roads. Some roads damaged by the flooding will be closed for repairs. The damage will be further assessed once the high water recedes. Eastern North Carolina also experienced heavy rain and wind with isolated flooding, but no major problems were reported.

JACKSONVILLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A former North Carolina-based Marine accused of killing a pregnant colleague has been granted a change of venue for his murder trial. Onslow County Superior Court Judge Charles Henry issued an order Monday, saying the trial of Cesar Laurean should be moved because pretrial publicity surrounding the case might influence jurors. Laureanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney had requested a different venue, and prosecutors did not object. Laurean is charged with murder in the death of 20-year-old Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach of Vandalia, Ohio. He fled to Mexico shortly before her charred remains were found buried in his backyard in Jacksonville in January 2008. He was arrested in April 2008, and extradited to North Carolina last year. A judge has scheduled the trial to begin June 28.

Reform Medicare, Social Security to help seniors Regarding Kay Spangle’s Your View letter, “Who would give up Medicare, Social Security?” Jan. 18: She is fighting against the very people who are trying the help her and those like her. My 80-year-old mother gets Medicare and, because of changes made by Congress to Medicare this year, this program will pay the first $2,800 for her medicines. Then, she will go into what is referred to as a “doughnut hole.” She will have to pay for the next $4,000 toward her medicines and doctor visits (which she does not have). After she pays $4,000, Medicare will kick back in, and she pays her deductible only. My father-in-law, who has cancer, is in the same situation. So, I quote Spangle: “I wonder what the average elderly person would do without Medicare?” They are in trouble because of a liberal Congress with their own agenda, and this legislation needs to be reversed! In regard to Social Security, many things are written and circulated on the Internet and by word of mouth, some true and most false. I do know, in 1935, the original rate was 1 percent of the first $3,000 earnings. In four stages, the rate was increased until 1949 when it was 3 percent on the first $3,000. The money was put in a trust fund and has never been put into a “general fund” as some rumors say, but some say it has never been spent, which is not true either. This Social Security trust fund was invested in Treasury securities and has been spent by some administrations at a rate of $500 million per day. I know her heart is in the right place. We must personally know our candidates and what we are trying to do. CATHY BREWER HINSON High Point The writer has announced her intention to seek the Republican nomination for the 6th District U.S. House seat, challenging Rep. Howard Coble.

Thoughtful conservatives now have no voice Kudos for your publishing Dusty Schoch’s guest column (“Let’s shut Negro-Gate before it opens,” Jan. 16) taking issue with Armstrong Williams’ renunciation of Sen. Harry Reid’s reference to then presidential candidate Barack Obama as a “light-skinned Negro,” etc. I read with sadness his comments, knowing that he was correct in what he said. I am customarily dismayed at the choice of writers used on the editorial pages of The High Point Enterprise. Apparently its editors are unaware that High Point voted for both John Kerry and Obama. Each week, I am saddened and disheartened at the astonishing displays of ignorance published in the letters to the HPE editors. Perhaps the name of that section of the paper should be changed from “letters to the editor” to “rightwing nuts and religious wackos.” I have many thoughtful conservative friends, and I share their concern for fiscal responsibility in our government and the protection of individual liberty. These conservatives have no voice since the death of Bill Buckley. They are pushed to the side and

PART must ride out downturn

ust like many businesses and quasi-governmental agencies that depend on public and private sources for operating revenues, the Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation saw a decline in customers during 2009, as the national recession’s impact continued. For PART, that customer decline translated to a 2 percent drop in ridership on buses and vans the regional transportation agency operates. Total ridership declined last year to 453,583 trips. The ridership decline can be attributed mostly to job losses resulting from economic woes and a retreat in gasoline prices from the $4 a gallon range a couple years ago to just over $2 for much of 2009. So it would be unwise for the agency to begin slashing services and routes at this time in response to lower ridership. A wise strategy for PART officials would be to try to economize as much as possible during the next year as we all wait to see how the economy and the price of gasoline move. PART’s plans to continue marketing efforts to provide greater exposure also are wise. We see now as a great time for PART leadership to continue assessing the Triad’s future mass transit needs. Then, after a year or so when economic vitality returns, PART will be in a position to evaluate ridership patterns to determine service-area priorities and where service cuts might be justified. Yes, tough times are causing problems, but panic isn’t an answer.

It’s time for Democrats to abandon the sinking ship

o the extent U.S. senators from Massachusetts have ever played much of a role in North Carolina politics, it’s been as useful foils for Republicans. Ted Kennedy certainly showed up in more than his share of fundraising mailings by Jesse Helms and other conservative candidates. John Kerry picked John Edwards as his running mate in 2004 in an attempt to compete for Carolinian and Southern votes, a tactic that ended embarrassingly for all concerned. The GOP loved it. But state Sen. Scott Brown’s improbable, spectacular election last Tuesday night to fill out the remainder of the late Sen. Kennedy’s term has ripple effects that will reach all the way to North Carolina. The Brown victory cannot credibly be spun as a contest settled by local issues or personalities. Everyone knows that the Senate race between Brown and Democrat Martha Coakley was a referendum on President Obama’s agenda for health care reform and other issues. The president certainly recognized it. That’s why he went to Massachusetts the weekend prior to the election to campaign against Brown and to link his political fate to that of Coakley. By giving Brown the thumbs-up, voters in one of America’s most liberal states gave Obamacare the thumbs-down. Congressional leaders and the president have vowed to pass the plan, anyway. It is the act of fanatics determined to ride a sinking ship to the bottom of the ocean. Now we shall see how many rank-and-file Democrats are as willing to become martyrs to the cause of government-run health care as their leaders are. Here in North Carolina, two Democrats in swing House seats, Larry Kissell of the 8th District and Health Shuler of the 11th, abandoned the doomed vessel months ago, along with Mike McIntyre of the more

Democratic-leaning 7th. Now attention will turn to the future votes to be cast by Reps. Bob Etheridge and Brad Miller, two incumbents who represent Democratic-leaning districts that, according to historical voting patterns, OPINION will only flip Republican under extraordinary circumJohn stances. Hood The election of a Republi■■■ can senator in Massachusetts qualifies as extraordinary circumstances. As for freshman U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan, she won’t stand for re-election until 2014. A vote for the final version of Obamacare may not end her political career. But it will mark Hagan as a Democrat of the left, not the center. The ideologues who still cling to Obamacare insist that its demise will mean an end to health care reform. Their claim is idiotic. While significant disagreements persist about the merits of governmentrun insurance, the application of market principles to health care delivery, and the extent to which health plans should price risk accurately or simply redistribute income, there remain some areas of broad agreement that could serve as common ground for a truly bipartisan reform initiative. It should focus on eliminating tax distortions and empowering consumers to make informed decisions about their own care. Nervous North Carolina Democrats don’t need to abandon health care reform to save themselves from Martha Coakley’s fate. They just have to abandon the sinking ship.

7-year-old raises thousands for Haiti LONDON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A young British schoolboy has raised more than 100,000 pounds ($160,000) Monday for Haitiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relief effort by cycling round his local park. Seven-year-old Charlie Simpson was so upset by the images of Haitiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deadly earthquake that he asked his mother if she could help him set up a sponsored bicycle ride around a west London park.

Urgent need for tent cities in Haiti PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The collapse of much of Haitiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital has a large part of the nation struggling just to find a place to sleep. As many as 1 million people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one person in nine across the entire country â&#x20AC;&#x201C; need to find new shelter, the United Nations estimates, and there are too few tents, let alone safe buildings, to put them in.

Baghdad blasts strike popular hotels, kill 37 AP

Lebanese soldiers gather debris from plane.

Witnesses: Plane tumbled out of sky off Lebanon BEIRUT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The first sign of trouble was a flash of light on the horizon Monday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and then witnesses said the Boeing 737 tumbled like â&#x20AC;&#x153;fire falling down from the skyâ&#x20AC;? into the stormy Mediterranean Sea. All 90 aboard were feared dead in the pre-dawn

crash. Lebanonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaders ruled out terrorism while investigators collected witness accounts in hopes they could provide clues. Aviation experts cautioned it was too early to know what brought down the Ethiopian Airlines jet â&#x20AC;&#x201C; particularly without the black boxes.

BAGHDAD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Suicide bombers struck in quick succession Monday at three Baghdad hotels favored by Western journalists in well-planned assaults that killed at least 37 people and wounded more than 100. The attacks were another blow to an Iraqi government already struggling to answer for security lapses that have allowed bombers to carry out massive attacks in the heart of the Iraqi capital since August, raising serious questions about the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stability ahead of the March 7 parliamentary elections.

The blasts were launched over a span of 15 minutes, shortly before Iraq announced it had hanged Saddam Husseinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notorious henchman â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chemical Aliâ&#x20AC;? and gave rise to speculation about possible links to the attacks. The first explosion struck near the Sheraton Hotel, along the Abu Nawas esplanade across the Tigris River from the Green Zone. The force of the blast toppled a row of 10-foot, 7-ton concrete blast walls protecting the site, tore cars apart and damaged a number

of other buildings. Twisted metal and shards of glass littered the lawns and courtyards of the popular fish restaurants along the river. Although known in Baghdad as the Sheraton Ishtar, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; owners of the Sheraton brand â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pulled out of the hotel years ago. Two other blasts followed minutes later, striking near the Babylon Hotel and Hamra Hotel, which is popular with Western journalists and foreign security contractors.

Veterans could get benefits upgrade WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A military review could bring millions of dollars in benefits to thousands of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans discharged with post-traumatic stress disorder. The military has agreed to review the records of recent veterans discharged with PTSD to decide whether they were improperly denied benefits. The agreement stems from a judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s order in a class action lawsuit originally filed by seven combat veterans.

3 Gitmo detainees transferred to Slovakia WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Justice Department says three Guantanamo Bay detainees have been transferred to the government of Slovakia. They are the latest of more than 570 prisoners moved from the prison at the U.S. naval base in Cuba to at least 38 countries since 2002. The government provided little information about Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transfer and is withholding their names at the request of Slovakia for security and privacy reasons.

Study: Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; math anxiety comes from female teachers WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Little girls may learn to fear math from the women who are their earliest teachers. Despite gains in recent years, women still trail men in some areas of math achievement, and the question of why has provoked controversy. Now, a study of first- and second-graders suggests what may be part of the answer: Female elementary school teachers who are concerned about their own math skills could be passing that along to the little girls they teach.

Obama to seek freeze on part of domestic spending budget WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; President Barack Obama will ask Congress to freeze spending for some domestic programs for three years beginning in 2011. The proposal comes as Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress face public anger over growing deficits. Administration offi-

cials told The Associated Press on Monday that the freeze would apply to a Obama relatively small portion of the budget. It would affect money available for domestic agencies whose budgets

are approved each year. Exempt from the freeze would be the Pentagon, veterans programs, foreign aid and homeland security. Officials say the proposed three-year freeze will be part of the budget that Obama will submit Feb. 1. They spoke on condition of anonymity to reveal private details.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty activated the National Guard to help counties in southern and west-central Minnesota provide shelter and other services. Armories in Olivia, Marshall, and St. James were opened for stranded travelers. At the Pilot Travel Center in Clear Lake in northern Iowa, truckers and other travelers were pulling off Interstate 35 and waiting for the storm to pass. Manager Dan Skiye said he had at least 100 semitrailers in his parking lot Monday afternoon.

Democrats look to new budget rules to tame deficit WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Democrats are trying to toughen budget rules to make it more difficult to run up the deficit with new tax cuts or federal benefit programs, a move Republicans say is a recipe for tax increases. The proposal by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., would make it harder to extend permanently some tax cuts that expire at the end of this year, renew

health care subsidies for laid-off workers that expire next month, or offer more help to states for Medicaid for the poor. Some middle-class tax cuts would not be affected, and extended unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless may also be exempt. The move to stiffen budget rules is aimed at softening opposition among moderates to letting the government extend itself another $1.9 trillion into debt.

Triad mourns loss of familiar face BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Frank Deal, the Triad’s resident wacky weatherman for nearly 30 years, died Sunday at age 84. Part forecaster and part funny man – and not necessarily in that order – Deal

‘I think he brightened a lot of people’s days.’ Van Denton WGHP meteorologist entertained and informed WGHP-TV viewers from 1969 until his retirement in 1996, typically incorporating his forecasts with his trademark cornball brand of humor that endeared him to his audience. The news of Deal’s death

triggered a flood of viewers sharing their memories of Deal on WGHP’s Web site. “A lot of people grew up watching him,” says Van Denton, WGHP’s chief meteorologist, who worked with Deal for six years before his retirement. “You get attached to the people you watch on a regular basis, and these people were really attached to Frank. I think he brightened a lot of people’s days.” In addition to his jokes, many viewers remember the time Deal had laryngitis but still managed to go on the air by acting out the entire forecast without saying a word – a feat that earned him a rousing ovation from co-workers when he was done. Denton was studying meteorology at N.C. State University when a friend told him about Deal’s offbeat forecasts. The first time he saw one, Deal’s segment began with a graphic about

Deal, who retired after 30 years on the air, died Sunday. how many leaves there are on the average tree. “Had nothing to do with the weather, but it was very interesting,” Denton recalls. “And then he pushed this little button and all the leaves fell off the tree, and he laughed that crazy laugh of his and said, ‘But then all those pretty leaves,

you’ve gotta rake ’em up.’ Right then, I could see why everybody was hooked on this guy, and I was hooked, too.” Denton even wrapped aluminum foil around his TV’s rabbit ears in his dorm room so he could continue watching Deal’s forecasts all the way in Raleigh.

When Denton joined WGHP in 1990, he learned firsthand that forecasting the weather goes beyond mere science. “I learned from Frank that you could have fun doing the weather and still maintain some credibility,” he says. “I learned what a fun medium TV can be.” Deal was an actor before he made the jump to weather forecasting – he once starred in “Unto These Hills,” the historical outdoor drama made famous in Cherokee – which explains his penchant for making his forecasts entertaining. WGHP news anchor Neill McNeill said as much in a blog he wrote about Deal’s passing. “He recognized putting a little ‘show business’ into what he did on television helped form an almost unbreakable bond between him and his viewers,” he wrote.

RANDOLPH COUNTY – The Randolph County Board of Education recently approved its 2011-12 school year calendar. Marty Trotter, Randolph County Schools assistant superintendent of operations, said the system’s school board annually considers a calendar two years out so it will give parents plenty of time to book vacations. The 2010-11 school year calendar was approved last year, Trotter said. The Randolph County Board of Education viewed the proposed calendar for the first time in November. The calendar, which was generated by a committee of school officials and parents, was then put on the school’s Web site for public comments. “Comments were taken the whole month of December,” said Trotter, chairman of the calendar committee. “Since we got back from Christmas break, we reviewed the comments with the committee and now we are bringing a final recommendation back to the board Tuesday.” Under the approved calendar, students will get nine days off for Christmas in comparison to having 10 days this year. Students, however, will gain a day for Easter break pending bad weather. “We were trying to give as many days at Christmas as we could,” Trotter said. “Just the way it all fell and worked out this year, we ended up with 9 days at Christmas, but we were able to put back the Good Friday as a holiday and then the next full week would be spring break.” The 2011-12 calendar also consist of set open-house dates “because families with more than one child” may have to miss an open house if there is a conflict with another open house, Trotter said. dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

Grammy winner Earl Wild dies at 94 NEW YORK (AP) – Grammy-winning pianist Earl Wild, who learned his craft from students of Liszt and Ravel and became one of America’s masters of the keyboard, has died at age 94. Wild died of congestive heart disease Saturday at his home in Palm Springs, Calif., publicist Mary Lou Falcone said Monday. Despite his advanced age, Wild continued to teach until last week – he listened to a pupil play his “Porgy and Bess Fantasy,” said Michael Rolland Davis, his com-

Haitian family FUNERAL reunites in NC WILMINGTON (AP) – A Haitian family has been reunited in North Carolina, where the father and two children arrived last week so one child could have surgery. The StarNews of Wilmington reported that Marie Defils arrived Sunday evening at Wilmington International Airport, where her husband, Octavius, and their two children were waiting. Octavius Defils and the children, 12-year-old Carlens and 9-year-old Farah, had arrived earlier so that Carlens could have surgery on a hand. He injured the hand while helping his sister escape the rubble of their home in Port-au-Prince after the earthquake that struck Jan. 12.

‘All My Children’ actor Mitchell dies at 89 LOS ANGELES (AP) – James Mitchell, who for nearly three decades played gruff patriarch Palmer Cortland on the ABC soap opera “All My Children,” has died, his longtime partner said Sunday night. Mitchell died Friday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, partner Albert Wolsky said. Mitchell had suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease for years, complicated by a recent bout of pneumonia. Mitchell appeared in more than 300 episodes of the popular soap from 1979 until a 40th anniversary episode this month. He was a regular on the show until 2008. Mitchell enjoyed play-

Wild’s last public performance was at age 92 at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, where he was presented with the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences’ Presidential Merit Award. In all, Wild recorded more than 35 piano concertos and 700 solo pieces. His other awards include being named Musical America’s Instrumentalist of the Year in 2005.

His film credits include 1953’s “The Band Wagon” with Fred Astaire, 1954’s “Deep in My Heart” and 1955’s “Oklahoma.”

Enrollment at GTCC skyrockets JAMESTOWN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As predicted by campus officials last fall, economic conditions have pushed GTCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spring enrollment to record levels. There are 13,954 students enrolled this semester, the largest enrollment in the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, college officials said, for a 21.7 percent increase from last spring.

The number of students receiving financial aid has jumped 51 percent from last spring to 8,223. GTCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enrollment continues to grow despite a tuition increase from $42 to $50 per credit hour for in-state students. GTCC and other Triad community college officials say that idle and underemployed workers are enrolling at community colleges to improve their

job skills and to seek new careers in growing industries. GTCC President Don Cameron has told county officials over the last two years that GTCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enrollment runs opposite of the economy, adding the college expects more students when the economy is down. Including enrollment for continuing education and basic skills classes,

GTCC has a total of 41,524 students on campuses in Jamestown, High Point and Greensboro. GTCC has grown to become the fourth-largest of 58 state community colleges. The N.C. Community College System reported in October there were more than 20,000 additional full-time students enrolled at its 58 campuses, compared to the 200809 academic year.

Three found dead in Clemmons home MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

CLEMMONS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Authorities are investigating both the shooting deaths of an couple whose bodies were found at a mobile home in Clemmons early Sunday afternoon and the apparent suicide of a Davie County man, court documents said. The couple had been estranged and the wife had been dating the man who killed himself, a search warrant on file at the Forsyth County Magistrateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office said. A family member and authorities found Patricia and Otto Brandon dead from gunshots wounds in a home at 1646 Chardale Drive in the Chappell Mobile Home Park off Styers Ferry Road, according

sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s officials and the warrant said. He was found in a chair in the living room while she was found lying on the floor. According to the search warrant, the Brandons had been separated for some time and were attempting to reconcile their marriage. Patricia Brandon had been dating Franklin Gray McBride, 72, of 290 Hartly Road, Mocksville. The warrant said that he was not happy about the reconciliation. Myra Bruggman, the Brandonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter had been trying to contact her mother by phone since Friday, the warrant said. She received a call from McBrideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter-in-law Saturday evening who said that Mc-

Bride had committed suicide in Davie County, the warrant said. That led her to go to her parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; house the next day. She went inside, saw her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body and left to call authorities. Forsyth Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investigators were able to confirm with Davie County authorities that McBride died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The Brandonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bodies have been taken to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said Major Brad Stanley of the Forsyth County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. Stanley could not say how long couple had been dead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will let the medical examiner make that determination,â&#x20AC;? Stanley said.

Teen embarrassments turn into fond memories later

ear Abby: I had to respond to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blushing in San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;? (Nov. 21), the 11-year-old girl whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s embarrassed because her mother sings and dances in the mall. I was that mother a few years ago. My daughter and I shopped in trendy stores where the music was really loud, and when she saw me bob my head and move to the music, she would shake her head â&#x20AC;&#x153;no.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d do it again â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just to torture her. As she tried on clothes, she would pop out and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have you been dancing again? This is a no-dancing zone!â&#x20AC;? We laugh about it now. When I teach, I tell my students what I did. They tell me unanimously that they would die if I were their mom â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to which I respond that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my job to make them miserable. As the Bee Gees sang, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You should be daaaancinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, yeah!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Still Dancing in Granite City, Ill. Dear Still Dancing: Your letter was among hundreds I received pointing out that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blushing in San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? dilemma is universal. Read on: Dear Abby: My husband is a contractor, and his office is in our home. He enjoys playing music while he works, and we often hear him singing happily along. One evening when my daughter was 11, she had some friends over and was trying her best to ignore the fact that her dad was singing while he worked, and hoping

her friends wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice. All went well until Shania Twain came on and he ADVICE started singing Dear along to Abby â&#x20AC;&#x153;Man! I â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; Feel Like a Woman!â&#x20AC;? We all laughed hysterically, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still one of our favorite memories. My daughter saw that her dad could laugh at himself, and that her friends enjoyed the humor without losing respect for him. Not to take oneself too seriously was the lesson learned. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one we all need reminding about occasionally. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Still Laughing in San Jose Dear Abby: When my daughter was about 8, I was walking her to the door of her school and thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have some fun with her, so I started acting like a cross between the Hunchback of Notre Dame, Dracula and the Mummy. When I asked if I was embarrassing her, she responded: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why would I be embarrassed? Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the one acting silly!â&#x20AC;? I immediately stopped because she was right. What she understood at her tender age was that you can only be responsible for your own actions. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mom In Hamilton, Ontario, Canada Dear Abby: My advice to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blushingâ&#x20AC;? is to enjoy her mother while she has her. When I was in my teens, my dad morti-

fied me with his dancing whenever we went to the grocery store. While pushing his shopping cart, Dad would bebop up and down the aisles. As an adolescent, it embarrassed me to no end. I look back now and regard my fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dancing fondly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; mainly because I have two delightful small children who inherited their grandfatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of dancing. When I see them â&#x20AC;&#x153;perform,â&#x20AC;? I know my dad is looking down from heaven and chuckling, too. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Proud Mom In Georgia Dear Abby: I was embarrassed every time I went to the mall with my mom because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d usually burst into show tunes before we got out of the parking lot. I am now 40, and I sing in parking lots, too. I finally understand that the most valuable lesson my mother ever taught me was to let that song in my heart out and not care what anybody else thinks. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s empowering, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blushingâ&#x20AC;? should give it a try. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Secondgeneration Singer Dear Singer: One of these days, try it in a parking structure. The acoustics are as good as any youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find in a recording studio. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; La-la in L.a.

Retired priest accused of sexual misconduct MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

RALEIGH â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A retired Roman Catholic priest, who served in a Garner church in the mid-1980s, was suspended from having public duties as a priest in the Roman Catholic Church after accusations of sexual misconduct surfaced last fall. Kenneth R. Parker, 73, had retired in 1993 but had his responsibility taken from him last week by diocese of Raleighâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bishop Michael Burbridge, according to a news release from the diocese. Parker, who now lives in Carthage, denied any wrongdoing took place in a brief telephone interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m innocent,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The accusations are false.â&#x20AC;? Church officials were contacted by the accuser in November and then reported it to authorities as it conducted its own probe, according to

the church news release. A board then reviewed the findings and Burbridge made his decision to suspend Parkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public â&#x20AC;&#x153;priestly facultiesâ&#x20AC;? on last Tuesday. No details about the allegation itself were available, other than that it involved a minor and the misconduct is alleged to have occurred in 1982. Parker became a priest in 1965 and served in North Carolina churches throughout his career, until his retirement in 1993. Locally, he was a pastor at Our Lady Of Guadaloupe Parish in Newton Grove from 1979 to 1985 and in Garnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s St. Mary Mother of the Church from January 1985 until he took a leave of absence in July 1986. At the time of his retirement, he served at a Whiteville church. He had recently been providing parishes in the Raleigh diocese with help when pastors went on vacation.

weeks prior to the last frost for the spring. Always follow the planting directions on the back of the seed packet. After seedlings have developed, before being transplanted into the garden, they must go through a period of hardening for approximately two weeks. This process is induced by gradually decreasing temperature and humidity, while reducing water. This is accomplished by placing plants outside in a protected area on warm days for a short period of time and gradually increasing the length of time every few days.

ne thousand, four hundred pounds. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how much weight was lost in 2009, the first year of the Get Healthy High Point disease prevention campaign. If you werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a part of it, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be discouraged. The campaign is kicking off its second year, and anyone may join. Community-based wellness programs are not new, but they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t commonplace either. As the nation struggles to control health-care costs and spending, a renewed focus on preventative medicine has emerged. This resurgence has its sights on managing chronic disease, with weight loss as its primary target. Sixty-eight percent of U.S. adults were overweight, and 34 percent were obese in 2008, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association. Approximately $36 billion is spent each year on weight-loss products, pills and potions, yet our rates keep increasing. These remedies are obviously ineffective, and, for the most part, Americans are wasting their money. Weight loss, or, more specifically, fat loss, is crucial in the battle of health care. The connection between excessive weight/ fat and chronic disease is well documented. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, stroke, heart attack, diabetes, cancer, depression and joint replacement are just some of the conditions with which risk goes up substantially with an increase in body weight. The only prescription for reducing risk also has been well documented. Physical activity and good eating habits are the cure for what ails most Americans. Yes, effort is required, and therein lies the hurdle for most. There are no quick fixes. Once started, though, these healthy lifestyle habits are just as difficult to quit. Use the Get Healthy High Point campaign as your spark plug, catalyst or even an excuse to get started and/or reinforce positive lifestyle choices. Be a part of the High Point team and make a contribution in our goal of reaching the 3,000pound mark in 2010. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great opportunity for families, businesses and organizations to rally around a common theme and a healthy one, at that.

Anemia is a decrease in the number of red blood cells, the cells that bring oxygen from the lungs to the entire body. Fatigue and shortness of breath on slight exertion are signs of anemia. Bleeding is a major cause of anemia, and the bleeding can go unnoticed if it comes from the digestive tract. Bleeding is often a complication of the blood thinner Coumadin. Anemia also can come from a destruction of red blood cells within blood vessels, because of an attack on those cells by the immune system. Bone marrow makes blood cells. Failure of bone marrow leads to an anemia. A deficiency of vitamin B-12, folic acid (another B vitamin) or iron can bring about an anemia. Most of these conditions can be diagnosed with lab tests. Tracking down the source of digestivetract bleeding entails examining the tract with a scope. I can’t give you a specific answer to the cause of your bleeding. Your doctor is the one who can provide you with it. However, there are instances when no cause can be found. DR.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) – Actor and comedian Andy Dick has been charged with two felony counts of sexual abuse in West Virginia. Dick was arraigned Saturday in Cabell County Magistrate Court. Court documents say he’s accused of grabbing a bounc-

er’s crotch and groping and kissing a male patron earlier in the morning at a bar in Huntington. Bail was set at $60,000. “Andy is stunned by these allegations and we are strongly denying any criminal conduct,” Dick’s attorney, Jeff Rubenstein, said in a statement.

Actor Gary Coleman posts bail in Utah SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – Actor Gary Coleman was released from a Utah jail Monday after being arrested over the weekend on a warrant for failing to appear in court, police said. Santaquin Police Chief Dennis Howard said officers went to the “Diff’rent Strokes” star’s home after a domestic disturbance call Sunday afternoon. Howard said they arrested Coleman, 41, on the warrant and booked him

into the Utah County Jail. Santaquin City Attorney Brett Rich said the warrant is related to a domestic violence charge filed against Coleman in the city justice court on Aug. 26, 2009. Jail records show Coleman posted $1,725 bail and was released Monday afternoon. He is expected to appear at a hearing in Santaquin Justice Court on Feb. 8, Rich said. “Diff’rent Strokes” aired from 1978 to 1986.

He did not speak at his arraignment but at one point put his head in his hands and wept. Nancy Kerrigan, a twotime Olympic medal winner, arrived at the family home shortly before 2 p.m. Monday and left

Jake Rickard of Thomasville holds the Bronze Star, one of eight medals he received last month for his service during World War II.

High time to honor World War II vet gets his medals – more than 60 years later BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HOMASVILLE – Jake Rickard never really complained about not receiving his combat medals for his service during World War II. But 60-plus years later, when the 87-year-old Thomasville man recently received eight longoverdue medals, he admits he was thrilled finally to get the recognition he deserves. “It makes me feel good,” Rickard says softly. “Makes me feel like I did something.” He did something, all right. He served in the Army under Gen. George Patton, saw combat in

Germany and took a hit when he was about 72 miles from Berlin, earning himself a Purple Heart. Rickard had already received that award, but until a few weeks ago, the World War II veteran had not received any of his other medals. That finally happened on Dec. 13, when Rickard’s American Legion unit, Post 284 in Thomasville, presented him his medals during a ceremony at his church, New Calvary Baptist. Swanson “Jerry” Hudson, commander of Post 284, and Jerry Hedricks, a member of the American Legion National Executive Committee, presented Rickard with eight medals: Bronze Star,

Combat Infantryman’s Badge, European-African Middle Eastern Campaign Medal, World War II Victory Medal, World War II Army Occupation Medal, U.S. Army Good Conduct Medal, Honorary Service Lapel Pin and the Marksman Rifle Qualification Badge. According to Hudson, Rickard was one of many World War II veterans who were discharged from the military after the war and never received their combat medals. “I would say a large number of World War II veterans are just now getting their awards,” says Hudson, a veteran of the Vietnam War. “A lot of the guys

wanted to get out of there, and their paperwork hadn’t caught up with them, and they were just on their way home. I would say every day a lot of these guys are getting their awards from 60 years ago.” Even if the awards are 60 years late, it’s never too late to recognize World War II veterans for their service, Hudson says. “A lot of them never had a parade or got the recognition they deserved,” he says. “His neighbors around here probably don’t even know he’s a veteran, but I think it’s good for the guys who have fought to be told thanks.”

A beginners’ beekeeping course will be offered Thursdays, from 7 to 9 p.m., at the Guilford County Agriculture Center, 3309 Burlington Road, Greensboro. The course will begin this week and continue on successive Thursdays through March 4. Members of the Guilford County Beekeepers Association will teach the skills necessary for beekeeping, and free bees may be available for graduates of the course. The cost is $25 per person or $30 per family. To sign up or for more information, call Martha Boren at (336) 674-2996.

Museum features Griffith memorabilia FROM ENTERPRISE REPORTS

OUNT AIRY – The Andy Griffith Museum opened recently, providing a permanent place for the world’s largest collection of Andy Griffith memorabilia. The museum is located next door to the Andy Griffith Playhouse, a half-mile from the actor’s boyhood home. It houses a treasure trove of items collected by Emmett Forrest, a schoolmate and close friend of Griffith. Forrest’s collection has been displayed at various places in Mount Airy over the last 15 years but never had a true home until late last year when the doors opened to a new 2,500-square-foot museum that cost more than half a million dollars. Fans of “The Andy Griffith Show” will marvel at the memorabilia on display. Griffith gave many of the items to Forrest, including the iconic signs from the show’s courthouse doors that read “Sheriff” and “Justice of the Peace.” There are also mementos from Griffith’s movies and his music career. “I’ve been collecting this for 25 years,” says Forrest. “Every piece is like one of my children. My favorite items are the signs

They identify the show. You see them in almost every episode. Another favorite item is Barney’s saltand-pepper suit. Also, Andy gave me items from his desk and the keys to the jail, so those are very special.” The collection contains several items donated by Francey Knotts, widow of actor Don Knotts, who played Deputy Barney Fife on the show. Those include Barney’s chair, bronzed and signed by cast members when Fife left the show, and an autographed copy of the script Knotts used for the televi-

sion movie, “Return to Mayberry.” Actress Betty Lynn, who played Barney’s girlfriend, Thelma Lou, on the show, donated to the collection as well. Lynn moved to Mount Airy in 2007 after several visits to the Mayberry Days Festival. “Anything he ever did is in that museum. It’s really a lovely tribute to Andy and a great museum for people to enjoy,” Lynn said. Tanya Jones, executive director of the local arts council, secured financing through grants and donations. “Andy and Emmett wanted

the collection to be on this site because it had sentimental value to them,” Jones says. “And, it made sense to have the collection, the TV Land Landmark statue of Andy and Opie, and the Andy Griffith Playhouse all in one location.” The museum is open seven days a week and admission is $3 per person. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday; 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays; and 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sundays. For more information, call (336) 786-1604, or visit www. AndyGriffithMuseum.com.

Grapefruit, my club’s sourpuss member, is surly even when he’s healthy. He was playing in a Chicago game despite a case of the sniffles. “What’s Grapefruit treating his cold with?” I asked a kibitzer. “Contempt,” was the reply, “the same way he treats partners.” Against four spades, Grapefruit, West, sneezed, blew his nose and led the queen of hearts. After the defense took three heart tricks, East could have cashed the ace of clubs for down one but saw no hurry since he had the diamonds under control: He led a trump.

INFERENCE South won in dummy and could have played for a lucky lie of the diamonds. But South inferred from East’s defense that East had good diamonds: South led the jack of clubs, faking a finesse. East ducked, and South won and ran off six rounds of trumps. At the end, East was squeezed in the minor suits. He discarded the ace of clubs, South claimed – and Grapefruit told East that if his brains were water, he couldn’t give a bath to a flea.

Your numbers are 6, 11, 14, 25, 30, 43, 45 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Explore your creative side and trust in your ability instead of thinking everyone else can do a better job. Someone or something will continuously try to stop you or stand in your way today. Persevere. ★★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): An ulterior motive may lead you in the wrong direction. A promotion or changing from one job to another will be tempting and should be considered, even if someone is encouraging you to stay put. Don’t let someone’s bragging make you feel inferior. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t give up on your goals. Home, family and getting things in order must take top priority. An emotional issue you have with someone will escalate into something you cannot resolve if you don’t act fast. Moderation will be key. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Make some financial moves that will help you save at tax time. Dig deep for information that will help you make the best choices. A partnership will make you think about your future. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Focus on the people you know can help you get ahead. Work hard and contribute in a positive manner and you will avoid arguments that can develop into ongoing problems. Say little but do the best job possible. ★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t count on anyone doing your work for you if you want it done properly. An emotional issue regarding your personal or professional status may be an issue if you allow someone to pressure you. Use your imagination. ★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll be pulled in different directions. It’s important that you don’t give in to what others want. Follow your dreams and venture down your own path if you want to get ahead. If you speak up, you will be heard. ★★★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Keep an open mind or you will make a costly mistake. Don’t argue with a loved one but don’t give in to something you don’t believe is right either. A short trip may be necessary to clear up a misunderstanding. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Get contracts or financial agreements in writing. Emotions will be unstable when it comes to a personal relationship. It’s time to make a change regarding how you earn your living. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A change within one of your friendships will take place due to a money matter that arises. Don’t be too quick to trade someone or something in for a newer model because you think it will help you get ahead. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Travel or taking on a new lifestyle or interest will do you good. A change may be required in order to fulfill a dream. A promise made will ensure you get to spend time with someone special. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Check out the importance of each and every situation you face before you make a decision about what to do first. There is a sequence that must be followed if you want to come out unscathed. It will be easy to lose a friend if you aren’t cautious about pointing out blame. ★★ 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.

DCCC set for Tar Heel invasion BY STEVE HANF ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

LEXINGTON – Campus officials have been getting ready for Wednesday night for weeks. Matt Ridge told his Davidson County Community College players in no uncertain terms they’d have to wait to think about playing the North Carolina Tar Heels’ junior varsity team until today. With Monday’s blowout win over Piedmont Baptist College in the books, the time has arrived. “I told the guys after our game (Saturday) that I don’t want to hear anything about Carolina until Monday night after our game,” Ridge said. “We can’t overlook anybody. On Tuesday we’ll get ready for it.” The campus is more than ready for the ultra-

rare visit by the Tar Heels. UNC plays just one road game per season, and after three Storm appearances in Chapel Hill, DCCC got picked to be this year’s site. Tip-off at Brinkley Gymnasium is set for 7 p.m. Tickets sold out rapidly for students and in less than an hour for fans in the community. To meet the excess demand, officials at DCCC also are selling tickets to a “StormWatch” party in the college’s conference center. Tickets to view the live telecast in the conference center are $7 for adults, $5 for children 12 and under, and $5 for alumni association members. Free tickets are available for currently enrolled DCCC students. Refreshments are included in the ticket price. Doors will open for the party at 6:30. “The college is really working hard to ac-

commodate everybody who wants to be a part of it. That’s cool, too,” Ridge said. “Our marketing department has done a phenomenal job of getting the buzz around campus.” A roar rather than a buzz figures to fill Brinkley. The Storm nearly beat the Tar Heels in their first meeting three years ago, while DCCC led by three points with five minutes to play this season at the Smith Center before falling late. UNC enters the game undefeated, while the Storm sits 16-4. “We know we can play with them,” said Ridge, a UNC graduate who played two seasons on the Tar Heels’ JV squad. “They play in front of 200, 300 people in a 20,000-seat arena. For them to play in a 280-seat arena with 280 people there, they’re excited about it.” shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

HP Central boys nip Glenn, 67-64 BY DANIEL KENNEDY SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

KERNERSVILLE – Derek Grant and Drew Adams produced enough offense in the second half Monday night to drastically alter the way things unfolded between High Point Central and Glenn. The Bobcats held a 30-27 advantage at the half and maintained a seven-point lead late in the third quarter when Grant and Adams transformed the game. The Bison (8-8, 5-2 Metro 4A) closed the third with a 10-0 run to put Central on top 48-45. The Bison went on to prevail 67-64. In the fourth, Grant hit a 10-foot jumper with 1:15 to go put the Bison up 63-60. Grant then followed a missed layup for Glenn with a crucial free throw to make it a two-possession game. Another missed layup that would have cut Central’s lead to two with 30 seconds to play sealed the Bobcats’ fate as they dropped a tough one to the Bison. “In the first half, Glenn wouldn’t miss a shot,” Bison coach Patrick Bat-

tle said. “In the second half, we got some fast break opportunities.” Specifically, Adams and Grant made plays in the open floor to provide points in transition and hustled defensively to pick up several steals. In both halves, center Shaq Bethea gave the Bobcats (9-9, 2-5) fits. Bethea gained an upper hand in the paint by successfully attacking the Bobcats’ interior defense and creating foul trouble. He finished with 14 points. “Shaq has been playing like that all season,” Battle said. “If we can get him playing like that inside and (Adams and Grant) get going, they’re going to knock down some huge shots for us.” The difference became Central’s long-range shooting. Grant finished with a game-high 17 points and Adams added 12, including nine in the second half and two 3-pointers at crucial junctures. “Number five (Adams) hit a couple of deep 3s that were huge,” Glenn coach Lee Revis said. “We had an opportunity late, but we missed those two layups. It is what it is.”

as a success. The Bobcats could not break the press with any consistency, a crucial factor for success against Central (17-1, 5-1 Metro 4A). Santia Davis had nine points to lead the Bison, while four others – including Megan Tate – finished with eight. Tate also spearheaded a relentless defensive pursuit which gave the Bison a decided advantage in transition, where much of their offense was accounted for. Deonna Young paced Glenn (5-13, 1-5 Metro 4A) with 20 points. “We haven’t played against that type of pressure all year,” Bobcats coach Eugene Love said. “I think it was a shock to us. It’s a philosophy. I know coach Carter. I was his assistant for three years. I’m trying to build a program to that level. It only makes you better to play against (Central).”

Dodd’s 28 points power HPU women SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE

ASHEVILLE – Junior Amy Dodd scored a career-high 28 points to lead High Point University to a 77-63 women’s basketball win over UNC Asheville on Monday night. The Panthers improve to 13-7 overall and 6-1 in the Big South. HPU won its third straight and ninth in 10 games. Dodd topped her previous best of 18 against Livingstone College in 2007. Lindsey Montgomery finished with 15 points and 18 rebounds to lead UNC Asheville (6-14, 1-6).

HIT AND RUN

---

uke cleared a pair of painful roadblocks with Saturday night’s 60-47 victory over Clemson. The Blue Devils avenged a 74-47 loss at Littlejohn Coliseum last February that marked Duke’s most lopsided loss since a 30point blowout to UNLV in the 1990 national title game. And Duke’s 13-point triumph marked its first true road victory this season, following losses at Wisconsin, Georgia Tech and N.C. State.

Revenge may be sweet, but for Duke, the successful road work figures to pay bigger dividends. Teams can’t capture conference titles or expect to make deep postseason tournament runs without consistently winning away from home. Few teams have been better road warriors than the Blue Devils during the past decade. Since the 1998-99 season, Duke’s ACC regular-season road records generally have been stellar: 8-0, 8-0, 7-1, 6-2, 3-5, 6-2, 4-4, 7-1, 4-4, 6-2 and 4-4.

The Blue Devils stood 38 games over .500 away from Cameron Indoor Stadium over the past 11 seasons. Not coincidentally, Duke won or shared five ACC regular-season titles and finished second four times during that span. With games at Boston College, North Carolina, Miami, Virginia and Maryland on the horizon, Duke hopes the Clemson victory spurs more road magic.

WHO’S NEWS

He’s Susan Lucci no more. London Fletcher is finally going to the Pro Bowl. The Washington Redskins middle linebacker has been promoted to the NFC roster because the player ahead of him, Jonathan Vilma, will be going to the Super Bowl with the New Orleans Saints. Fletcher said he “did a little sprinting around the house” when the Saints kicked an overtime field goal to beat the Minnesota Vikings in Sunday’s NFC championship game. The 34-year-old Fletcher is the league’s most prolific tackler over the past decade, with at least 100 tackles in 11 straight seasons. He has never missed a game in his 12-year career and ranks only behind Brett Favre in consecutive games played among non-specialists with 192.

NFL scraps plan for 2nd game in Britain in 2010 LONDON (AP) — The NFL has scrapped plans to play a second regular-season game in Britain next season. Last week, the league announced that the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos would play at Wembley Stadium on Oct. 31. That will mark the fourth straight season in which the NFL has played a regular-season game in the British capital. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said last year that the league was considering adding a second game. But the NFL said on its Web site that uncertainty related to collective bargaining talks and the current economic climate “were critical factors in our decision not to play a second game in the UK.” The NFL has played games at Wembley for the last three seasons, with more than 80,000 fans at each game. The first game featured the eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants beating the Miami Dolphins 13-10. In 2008, the New Orleans Saints beat the San Diego Chargers 37-32. And this season, the New England Patriots defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 35-7 in October. Aside from Wembley Stadium, Manchester and Glasgow, Scotland, are being looked at as potential venues to host NFL games in the future. In October, before the New England-Tampa Bay game, Goodell said the idea of eventually putting an expansion team in London was of “tremendous interest” to the NFL. He gave no timeline when such a decision might be taken.

Cowboys Romo, Jenkins added to Pro Bowl IRVING, Texas (AP) — Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is going to his third Pro Bowl, while Dallas cornerback Mike Jenkins will go for the first time. The Cowboys announced Monday that Romo and Jenkins had been added to the NFC roster as injury replacements. Dallas has seven players going to Sunday’s game in Miami. Romo replaces Minnesota’s Brett Favre, who pulled out of the Pro Bowl after hurting his ankle and taking numerous hard hits in the NFC championship game loss at New Orleans on Sunday. Romo this season set Cowboys’ single-season records by completing 347 of 550 passes for 4,483 yards while taking every snap. He had a career-low nine interceptions. Jenkins will take the roster spot of Vikings cornerback Antoine Winfield (foot). Jenkins, a second-year player, led Dallas with five interceptions and 23 pass breakups.

Jaguars’ Garrard gets late invite to Pro Bowl JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback David Garrard has been added to the AFC Pro Bowl roster. Garrard replaces Indianapolis’ Peyton Manning, who will miss the NFL’s all-star game Sunday because of the Super Bowl. Garrard, playing in the Pro Bowl for the first time in his eight-year career, will join running back Maurice Jones-Drew as the team’s only representatives. Garrard threw for 3,597 yards and 15 touchdowns last season, and led all quarterbacks with 323 yards rushing and three scores. He also was sacked 42 times, threw 10 interceptions and fumbled five times.

East Carolina hires two assistant coaches GREENVILLE (AP) — New East Carolina coach Ruffin McNeill has added two assistants to his staff. School officials said Monday that John Wiley will be McNeill’s associate head football coach and Brian Mitchell will serve as defensive coordinator. Wiley also will coach the Pirates’ linebackers, while Mitchell would coach the defensive backs. Mitchell coached four seasons at Texas Tech with McNeill, and had been named cornerbacks coach at Memphis on Jan. 18. Wiley spent 19 seasons at Appalachian State, taking over as defensive coordinator in 1993 and helping the Mountaineers win three Bowl Championship Subdivision titles from 2005-07. Last week, McNeill was named head coach at his alma mater. He replaced Skip Holtz, who left for South Florida.

Labonte’s team hits the dirt

North Carolina head coach Roy Williams put his head down as this team loses 82-69 to Wake Forest 82-69 on Jan. 20. The Tar Heels look to stop a three-game slide that knocked them from The Associated Press Top 25 when they visit N.C. State tonight (9 p.m., WFMY, Ch. 2).

Tar Heels, Wolfpack set to clash BY BRIANA GORMAN ENTERPRISE DURHAM BUREAU

RALEIGH – North Carolina could be without sophomore Ed Davis, its second-leading scorer and top rebounder, for the second straight game tonight when the Tar Heels travel across I-40 to face N.C. State (9 p.m., WFMY, Ch. 2). UNC coach Roy Williams said Davis, who missed Wednesday’s loss to Wake Forest with a sprained left ankle, has not practiced during the team’s six-day break and is “very questionable.” “If the game had been scheduled (Sunday), I would not have played Ed,” Williams said on Monday, the same day the Tar Heels dropped out of the Associated Press Top 25 poll without receiving a vote. “He’s got to make some very significant improvements from practice (Sunday) at 2 o’clock to 9 o’clock (tonight). And if he does, we’ll try to play him,

and if he does not make any significant improvement, we won’t.” Williams said Davis still does not feel comfortable planting his foot and pushing off, but the biggest issue has been swelling. “We didn’t play him Wednesday night and Thursday he had more swelling,” Williams said. If Davis doesn’t play against the Wolfpack, freshman Travis Wear is expected to earn his second career start. But it will still be a big blow for the Tar Heels (12-7, 1-3 ACC), who are hoping to end a three-game losing streak. Still, Williams said he would not let his team give into the “woe is me” attitude after losing four of its past five. “Some dadgum time you got to put your foot down and say, ‘I’m going to play better,’ ” Williams said. “And you know what, I’m doing that as a coach, ‘Today I’m going to coach better.’ I can’t imagine any

time I’ve been more involved, more into it, more enthusiastic, critical, vocal, whatever you want to say than I have been in practices since last Wednesday. “Whether or not that transfers to good play or not remains to be seen, but that’s what you’ve got to do. You can’t sit around and moan, and my team’s not going to do that.” But UNC will not just be trying to stop its slide tonight against N.C. State (13-7, 2-4), the Tar Heels also will be trying to earn their first true road win of the season. UNC is 1-5 away from the Smith Center this season, and the victory was on a neutral court. Williams said getting a win tonight will be important for his slumping team, but the season is not over regardless of what happens. “We’ve dug ourselves a hole, but there’s still a lot of basketball to be played and that’s what I’m trying to get our kids to understand,” Williams said.

Kentucky unanimous No. 1; UNC tumbles from poll THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Kentucky is back in a familiar place, and so is its coach. The Wildcats, the last unbeaten team in Division I, were an unanimous No. 1 in The Associated Press’ college basketball poll on Monday, their first time on top since the final poll of 2002-03. Only three schools have been No. 1 more often. North Carolina (12-7), the defending national champion and loser of three straight and four of five, did not receive a vote and dropped out of the poll for the first time since

DCCC storms to 106-67 win ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

WINSTON-SALEM – Justin Glover scored a season-high 32 points to spark Davidson County Community College to a 106-67 victory over Piedmont Baptist on Monday night. Kimani Hunt added 19 points for the Storm (174). Eric Potts collected 17 points and 11 rebounds for DCCC, while Zack Williams had 14 points and Robbie Rives 11.

Haas wins Hope Classic for 1st PGA victory LA QUINTA, Calif. (AP) – Bill Haas followed his father’s advice to be patient through six long days at the Bob Hope Classic until his final hole, when a highly impatient shot clinched his first PGA Tour victory. Haas made a short birdie putt after an aggressive approach shot on the 18th hole to win the Hope Classic on Monday, beating Matt Kuchar, Tim Clark and Bubba Watson by one stroke with an 8under 64. Haas expertly dropped his 3-iron behind the pin, allowing him to two-putt No. 18 his way to a 30-under 330 finish and his first victory.

January 2006. The Tar Heels were sixth in the preseason poll. For first-year coach John Calipari, Kentucky is the third school he has taken to No. 1. He led Massachusetts to the top spot in 1994-95 and 1995-96, and Memphis in 200708. Calipari is 40-5 while coaching the No. 1 team. The Wildcats (19-0) moved up one spot, replacing Texas (17-2), which was No. 1 for two weeks before losing to Kansas State and Connecticut, both on the road. The Longhorns, who were ranked No. 1 for the first time in school history,

dropped to sixth. Kentucky’s first game as the nation’s No. 1 team will be at South Carolina tonight. This is Kentucky’s 89th week at No. 1, which trails only UCLA (134), Duke (111) and North Carolina (105). Kansas, the only other No. 1 team this season, Villanova, Syracuse and Michigan State all moved up one place from last week to be second through fifth. After Texas, Georgetown, Duke, West Virginia and Purdue rounded out the top 10. Clemson, Northern Iowa and Mississippi State also dropped out of the Top 25.

ctivity whirred full bore over the weekend down on the lower level of Bobby Labonte’s complex in Archdale. While the Cup series doesn’t really get in gear until next week at Daytona, Labonte’s late-model dirt team was in full mode getting ready for the start of its season. The push to get ready was more hectic than in the past because Labonte added a second team over the winter. Earl Pearson Jr., the Floridian who saw his string of Lucas Oil series championships snapped at five in 2009, returns for his fourth season since Labonte bought Pearson’s team equipment. Added to the fold is Brad Neat, a friend of Pearson’s from Dunnville, Ky. (about an hour south of Lexington) who finSPORTS ished seventh in Lucas Oil standings while Pearson took third. Greer Normally, Pearson meets his car Smith and crew at the track, and the 30■■■ year-old Neat is expected to do the same while he still works in his family’s trucking business. Because it is the start of the season, that wasn’t the case. Both drivers were helping put the finishing touches on the two cars that will be loaded into separate haulers to make it through the grueling three-week start that’s typical for those who compete at the upper level of dirt-track late model racing on the East Coast and in the Midwest. The swing started with a shakedown test at a track outside of Brunswick, Ga., in preparation for a three-day show there Thursday through Saturday. From there, it’s on Labonte to East Bay Raceway near Tampa for the Lucas Series opener Feb. 1-6, then over to Volusia County Speedway near Daytona for six nights of racing Feb. 8-13. That will be at least 15 starts for the dirt trackers before Labonte makes his fourth start of Speedweeks in the Daytona 500. Pearson said the Florida swing is not as bad as some of the three-week trips to the Midwest during the summer. “The way the schedule is, even with the Midwest races, that it makes more sense to stay on the road than go back and forth,” Pearson said. “The stretch in the Midwest is tougher because it’s so hot, in the 90s every day. It just wears on you. But being on the road isn’t that bad. Especially during Speedweeks, because your racing about every day instead of sitting in the truck or looking for a bowling alley or something else to do.” Neat, who is soft spoken, has been racing late models for 10 years, mostly on the local track level. Starting his third season on the Lucas Oil tour, this will be the first time he will be on the road for longer than seven days. “As for being gone that long, I’m not accustomed to that,” Neat said. “We’re used to racing a week at a time. I don’t look at it as being a lot different. We’re used to racing night after night.” Labonte has a dirt-track team solely because he likes Pearson. “I met Earl at a track and I thought ‘this guy is cool,’” Labonte said. “We became friends. If it weren’t for Earl, I wouldn’t be doing this and I mean that in a good way. I’ve enjoyed the heck out of this even though I haven’t been able to go to a lot of the races. I enjoy seeing him race and being part of what he is doing. If I can give him anything, I want to be a part of that. I don’t have a bad day with them.” Neat traveled with Pearson last season, bought a car from Pearson and won with it the first time out. They got along so well that Labonte decided to add Neet to the team. “We built a good relationship,” Pearson said. “Bobby wanted to do more since we’ve got this big shop here and wanted to fill it up a little bit. We approached Brad and he jumped all over it. He’s a good guy. Doesn’t get upset and kind of laid back. He’s level-headed and a good fit for Bobby.” Pearson said he was pleased with last year even though he failed to win the Lucas championship and came home with five victories, far below his yearly goal of 10. “We started out slow but changed some things and I think we’re back where we need to be,” Pearson said. Not surprisingly, Pearson is targeting another championship. Neat wants to finish in the top five in points but isn’t worried about number of victories. “We go to win every race. If we don’t, we like to have top fives, especially racing for points.” Even if things go bad, Pearson claims Labonte doesn’t get upset. “The good thing about Bobby is he understands when you have a bad day, you have a bad day,” Pearson said. “Some of the other owners, if you have a bad day, you have to answer to them. He understands things happen.” Labonte enjoys fielding his short-track cars so much that he looks forward to Pearson’s calls from the road to detail how he does. Those will be plentiful starting this week. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

Colts hope experience pays â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Superâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dividends

Saints soak in landmark NFL victory METAIRIE, La. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sean Payton still hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gone home yet when the New Orleans Saints returned to work on the morning after the biggest win in franchise history. Payton says he and his family decided to stay in a downtown hotel on Sunday night while the Saints celebrated a Super Bowl berth with a 31-28 overtime win over Minnesota in the NFC championship game. The coach says he want-

ed to relax and enjoy the emotional victory with friends and family instead of driving home across Lake Pontchartrain. Players worked out and attended meetings on Monday. Payton is giving them the next couple days off before they return to practice on Thursday to prepare for the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Super Bowl in its 43-year history against native son Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts.

Conference championship games draw most viewers since â&#x20AC;&#x2122;82 NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Brett Favre and Peyton Manning. A New York team and the city of New Orleans. A long list of intriguing story lines â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and two close contests â&#x20AC;&#x201C; earned huge television ratings for the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conference championships Sunday. The games drew the most viewers in 28 years, averaging 52.9 million people, up 34 percent from last season. The dramatic NFC championship attracted 57.9 million viewers, the most since San Francisco beat Dallas on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Catchâ&#x20AC;? in 1982. The New Orleans Saintsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; overtime victory over Favre and the Minnesota Vikings on Fox was the most watched non-Super Bowl program since the

series finale of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seinfeldâ&#x20AC;? 12 years ago. The fast national rating of 30.6 was the highest for a conference championship game since Packers-Cowboys in 1996. In New Orleans, the game drew a 63.2 rating and 82 share, the highest local rating ever for an NFL postseason game. The Indianapolis Coltsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; win over the New York Jets on CBS drew 46.9 million viewers, the most for an AFC title game since Patriots-Dolphins in 1986. Ratings represent the percentage of all households with televisions tuned into a program, and shares represent the percentage of all homes with TVs in use at the time.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre sits on the field after being hit during the first quarter of Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NFC Championship Game against the Saints in New Orleans. The Saints posted a 31-28 overtime victory in what may have been Favreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final game.

Vikings cope with defeat, ponder Favreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; One after another, the Minnesota Vikings mentioned how much they enjoyed playing with Brett Favre. Will the fun will be one season and done? The devastated Vikings gathered Monday at their practice facility for exit physicals and meetings with coaches, two weeks sooner than they hoped thanks to that epic overtime loss in New Orleans for the NFC championship. Despite all the other intriguing ingame developments and offseason story lines, the day-after focus fell on the 40year-old Favreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear in the locker room at Winter Park while it was open to reporters, but his demeanor after the game and responses from teammates suggested heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaning toward quitting. For now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a situation like this I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to make a decision right now based on whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happened, because

I do know the year could not have gone any better aside from us not going to Miami,â&#x20AC;? Favre said Sunday night at the Superdome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really enjoyed it, to be honest. Just wondering if I can hold up, especially after a day like today.â&#x20AC;? He took a beating by the Saints, and the ankle injury he suffered in the third quarter was another reminder of how draining the game has been for him mentally and physically down the stretch of his 19-year career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From a physical standpoint I feel for him, but definitely mentally and emotionally as he always does he lays it on the line and gave it everything he had,â&#x20AC;? linebacker Ben Leber said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I truly wish we could have him back next year, but that will be his decision.â&#x20AC;? Leber sounded resigned to losing Favre to retirement, though the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alltime leading passer is so famously prone to waffling over his decision he could always find a renewed desire to return.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Indianapolis Colts started this season with one goal: winning another Super Bowl. Now they are one victory away and headed back to the place they last one a championship. No, the plans havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed much from Indyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last postseason trip to Miami. This week will be spent putting in a game plan, and next week, first-year coach Jim Caldwell is taking a page right out of Tony Dungyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playbook. The Colts will stay at the same hotel, practice at the same facility and follow almost the same routine that they did before beating Chicago in the rainiest Super Bowl on record. Four-time MVP Peyton Manning and his Pro Bowl teammates, who include Dallas Clark, Dwight Freeney and Reggie Wayne, are expected to be in town Sunday afternoon for a pregame news conference â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a full day before the rest of the Colts (162) arrive. But with nearly half of Indyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roster having Super Bowl experience, Caldwell will rely on his veterans to help younger players cope with the countless distractions.

Survey: Slow recovery continues NEW YORK (AP) – Businesses expect to boost hiring and capital spending in the first half of the year as the U.S. recovery from the recession slowly continues, according to a new survey. Since the fall of 2009, demand has edged higher in the goods-producing, finance and real estate industries, while other sectors such as transportation are seeing less drastic declines in growth. While costs have been increasing, prices also have moved higher, allowing businesses to post improved profits. Job losses, meanwhile, have been moderating with a slightly better out-

look for hiring over the next six months. The latest industry survey from the National Association for Business Economics, set for release Monday, shows that capital spending plans continue to brighten as credit markets loosen slightly. Thirty-five percent of those surveyed said credit conditions are hurting their business, down from 42 percent in the third quarter. Many indicated “credit still remains tight but less so than in recent months,” said William Strauss, a senior economist for the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Respondents say they

plan to spend money on computers and communications but hold back on building costs. Of the 75 NABE members from private sector and industry trade associations interviewed for the survey, all said they are making business decisions with an eye toward positive economic growth in 2010. Sixty-one percent of survey respondents believe real GDP will expand by more than 2 percent in 2010 – up from 45 percent of respondents in October. For the second quarter in a row, price increases have been more common than price cuts. Only 8 percent of respondents

said their companies cut prices in the last quarter. Meanwhile, job losses are slowing down. While the unemployment rate remains at 10 percent and many economists expect it to increase in the coming months, the percentage of companies cutting payrolls fell to 28 percent from 31 percent in NABE’s October 2009 survey. Also, 29 percent of those surveyed expect their companies to hire over the next six months, up from 24 percent last fall. The vast majority – 69 percent – said the government’s fiscal stimulus package enacted in February 2009 has had no impact on employment to date.

NEW YORK – Medtronic said Monday it will pay up to $500 million for Invatec, a company that makes medical devices to treat cardiovascular disease. The purchase will help Medtronic expand its interventional cardiology business in Europe, where Invatec is based. Medtronic estimates the global market for interventional cardiology devices is $10 billion per year.

AK Steel profits, beats forecast WEST CHESTER, Ohio – AK Steel Holding Corp. said Tuesday that it posted a profit in the fourth-quarter in contrast to a big loss a year ago and reported a 28 percent rise in shipments. AK Steel officials said that the market for steel, which was heavily impacted by the recession, has been steadily improving. “AK Steel met the severe economic crisis of 2009 head-on and emerged as a stronger company,” said James L. Wainscott, the company’s president and CEO. The results topped Wall Street forecasts, and AK Steel shares rose 72 cents, or 3.6 percent, to $20.91 in morning trading after rising as high as $21.94. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

Home sales drop nearly 17 percent WASHINGTON (AP) — Sales of previously occupied homes took the largest monthly drop in more than 40 years last month, sinking more dramatically than expected after lawmakers gave buyers additional time to use a tax credit. The report reflects a sharp drop in demand after buyers stopped scrambling to qualify for a tax credit of up to $8,000 for first-time homeowners. It had been due to

expire on Nov. 30, but Congress extended the deadline until April 30 and expanded it with a new $6,500 credit for existing homeowners who move. “It’s ‘exit stage left’ for firsttime homebuyers,” wrote Guy LeBas, an analyst with Janney Montgomery Scott. December’s sales fell 16.7 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.45 million, from an unchanged pace of 6.54

million in November, the National Association of Realtors said Monday. Sales had been expected to fall by about 10 percent, according to economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters. The report “places a large question mark over whether the recovery can be sustained when the extended tax credit expires,” wrote Paul Dales, U.S. economist with Capital Economics.

GM names Whitacre permanent CEO DETROIT (AP) – General Motors Co.’s chairman and interim chief executive, Ed Whitacre Jr., is dropping the interim from his CEO title and reaffirmed Monday the automaker would

Investors may be cautious on FriendFinder IPO NEW YORK (AP) – Sex may sell, but investors may not be ready for an IPO this hardcore. Penthouse magazine publisher FriendFinder Networks Inc., which operates adult entertainment and networking Web sites like Bondage.com, AdultFriendFinder.com and HotBox. com, hopes to raise $220 million in an initial public offering this week. Analysts say the IPO could serve as a litmus test for the emerging so-

cial networking sector, but aren’t sure how investors will receive its racy content and weak balance sheet. FriendFinder, which changed its name from Penthouse Media Group in 2007, will sell 20 million shares. The stock is expected to price between $10 and $12. Paid-usage pornography, personal ads and other graphic content make up about 70 percent of revenue for the Boca Raton, Fla., company.

China denies Google accusations BEIJING (AP) – China sharply rebuked the United States on Monday, denying involvement in any Internet attacks and defending its online restrictions as lawful after Washington urged Beijing to investigate an attack against Google. The search engine giant announced on Jan. 12 that it would pull out of China unless the government relaxes its rules on censorship. The ultimatum came after Google said email accounts of human

rights activists critical of China had been hacked. Since then, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has criticized the censorship of cyberspace, drawing a strong counterattack from Beijing. The Foreign Ministry on Friday said her remarks damaged bilateral relations, while a Chinese state newspaper said Washington was imposing “information imperialism” on China. On Monday, the Ministry of Industry and Infor-

Stocks turn higher on Bernanke prospects NEW YORK (AP) – The major stock indexes rose Monday, as momentum shifted in favor of the reappointment of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. Investors want a sign that Bernanke will remain in control of the Fed because that would make a big shift in interest rate policy far less likely. The Dow rose 23.88, or 0.2 percent, to 10,196.86 after losing 552 points over the previous three days. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 5.02, or 0.5 percent, to 1,096.78, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 5.51, or 0.3 percent, to 2,210.80.

US housing news weighs on world markets LONDON (AP) – European stock markets extended losses Monday as a Wall Street rally ground to a halt following particularly bad U.S. housing data and ongoing concerns about President Barack Obama’s plan to curb banks’ risk-taking. In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading 100 shares closed down 42.68 points, or 0.8 percent, at 5,260.31 while Germany’s DAX fell 63.95 points, or 1.1 percent, to 5,631.37. The CAC-40 in France ended 38.93 points, or 1 percent, lower at 3,781.85. One market that actually advanced Monday was Greece’s composite index which ended 2.8 percent higher amid market talk that the Greek goverment had managed to raise around €8 billion via a bond issue.

mation Technology went on the offensive again, saying the country’s antihacking policy is transparent and consistent. “Any accusation that the Chinese government participated in cyberattacks, either in an explicit or indirect way, is groundless and aims to discredit China,” an unidentified ministry spokesman said, according to a transcript of an interview with the official Xinhua News Agency posted on the ministry’s Web site.

Oil drops, but gas doesn’t NEW YORK (AP) – When oil prices jumped last month, retail prices were slow to follow. Now that crude prices are tumbling, the same thing is happening in the opposite direction. Gasoline prices have fallen less than a nickel per gallon from their 15-month peak, even though oil prices have dropped nearly 10 percent in the last two weeks. Gasoline hit $2.7543 per gallon on Jan. 14. On Monday, the national average was $2.709, a drop of 0.4 cents from Sunday, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service.

80 homes evacuated in San Antonio as hill crumbles SAN ANTONIO (AP) – Construction crews moved dirt to shore up a group of houses precariously perched on a crumbling hill in San Antonio on Monday as engineers tried to figure out why the land below was shifting and whether dozens of evacuated families could return to their homes. About 80 homes were evacuated on Sunday after a resident in the northwest side subdivision reported that his backyard was sliding down hill. Gaping crevices, some 15 feet deep,

cut across his and other yards as dirt cascaded into a two-story-high stone retaining wall that began to give way. Fences crumbled like accordions as the land fissured, splitting the nearby retaining wall nearly into two. No one has been injured since the soil started sliding beneath the homes on Friday, but aerial photos showed land had given way near the foundations of several homes in the upper-middle class neighborhood of sprawling two-story homes set among rolling hills.

Many residents evacuated from homes that were not directly on top of or below the crumbling hill were expected to be allowed to return home later Monday, District Fire Chief Nim Kidd said. Engineers were assessing each of the structures in the evacuated area, while fire officials escorted some families to retrieve belongings from the neighborhood. At least seven homes would remain vacant for an extended period, said Kidd, who is also the head of the city’s management office.

Rain, wind lead to flood warnings, airport delays ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) – A nasty rain storm is filling rivers and streams, delaying flights and blowing debris off buildings in the Northeast. The National Weather Service has issued flood warnings in New York and Pennsylvania. Airports from Philadelphia to New York City are

showing severe weather delays. There also are offshore storm warnings. High winds sent construction debris fluttering to the streets in New York City and Jersey City, N.J. Some streets have been closed in lower Manhattan and light rail service was halted in Jersey City.

In western Pennsylvania, flooded roads are closed and a motorist had to be rescued. In Vermont, a fiery highway crash among two milk tanker trucks and a car killed two people. There’s no immediate word on what caused it, but roadways are slick.
