City crews expand hours for road-clearing work. 2A BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Here we go again ... or, maybe not. Residents of the area could be coping by Thursday night with their second winter storm in a week – and third in a little more than a month. The Triad should receive another round of precipitation this week. The only question is what form, said Russell Henes with the National Weather Service in Raleigh. “Definitively, it’s still a little bit up in the air,” Henes said Tuesday. A system bringing precipitation to the area should reach the region Thursday night and continue to affect the area through Saturday. “We still don’t have a good handle on whether rain or snow yet. It’s not as clear as it was before the storm last week,” Henes said Tuesday. The system could bring rain, freezing rain, snow or a mix of precipitation. “We’re definitely going

Last week’s snowfall, combined with steady rain Tuesday, hasn’t caused any flooding problems so far, Henes said. “The river stages are doing pretty good right now,” he said. The lingering effects of last week’s storm will leave all Triad public schools closed for the third straight day. Guilford County Schools will turn their third snow

day of the week into an optional teacher workday. All central offices will operate on a regular schedule. All after-school activities are canceled. To make up the missed days, students in several cases will go to school on what had been scheduled teacher work days. Guilford officials also have postponed the district science fair until Feb. 10 at Four Seasons Town Centre in Greensboro.

City tries to close widening budget gap BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The city is facing an estimated $8 million budget deficit through the next two years, as the recession has brought about lower-than-expected revenues.

City Manager Strib Boynton told City Council members Tuesday the city can get through the current fiscal year through belttightening, but tough decisions about spending priorities, service levels and new ways to raise revenue are looming. “The great recession has

caught us. We are weathering it. We’re not in a financial crisis like some communities are,” Boynton said. “Something has to give on the revenue side, or we will be making choices on what existing services will be reduced or eliminated in the next couple of years.”

A $3 million shortfall is projected for the current $320.4 million budget, and officials forecast a $5 million shortfall through 201011. In addition to sales tax, other funding sources – such as beer/ wine and franchise revenues,

Toyota dealers extend hours over recall BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – If you drive a Toyota, the ice on the streets may not have been your only driving concern this week. You may have joined the hundreds of Toyota owners who called local dealerships with inquiries about your car’s safety since the carmaker issued a recall last week due to some instances of sticking accelerator pedals. But local dealerships are telling their customers that the cars should be safe to drive until replacement parts for the accelerators arrive within the next week. “We, of course, have people calling wanting to know if their car is safe to

Vann York Toyota service manager Steve Byrd shows an accelerator pedal similar to the ones subject to modification/recall by the manufacturer. drive,” said Elmon Dale, general sales manager at Rice Toyota in Greensboro. “I think that most of the cars are safe since there have been so few ac-

cidents with the accelerator, and Toyota has sold about 26 million cars.” To handle the stream of phone calls, the Vann York Auto Group in High Point

has two employees answering specific questions about the recall, said Greg York, president of the group. Once the parts arrive, the dealership will operate extended evening and Saturday hours to put in the replacements, he said. “Most people have remained calm about the situation,” he said. “Most people are just wanting to know if their vehicle is part of the recall.” York said the carmaker will send a notice to its customers if they own one of the affected vehicles. When the replacement parts arrive in a customer’s area, they’ll be directed to their local dealerships. That’s when another problem could occur, according to Kerry Mitchell, general sales

manager at Modern Toyota in Winston-Salem. “I have a feeling people will start coming in here before they get the notice,” Mitchell said. “They should call before they bring their vehicle in. We’re going to try to get people in here as systematically as possible on an appointment basis, but we still have regular service customers and we’ve got to work everyone in.” Mitchell said he doesn’t know if different models will require different repairs, but the dealership hopes to replace the recalled parts as quickly as possible. “It’s going to take more than a week. I know that much,” he said.

Thieves swipe Twinkies, leave tracks in snow KINGSPORT, Tenn. (AP) – It was a Zinger of a theft in Tennessee. It also included cupcakes, Twinkies and other snack cakes from the Merita Bread Company. The Kingsport TimesNews cites a report from the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office in reporting 34-

year-old James M. Denoon and 18-year-old Anthony Stout were found hiding under a truck at the bakery late Friday night. The deputies found about $300 worth of stolen snack cakes stacked on the ground nearby. Finding the accused thieves was easy: The dep-

uties only had to follow their footprints. There was more than an inch of snow on the ground by Friday night. Denoon and Stout were charged with theft under $500 and two counts of auto burglary. It was not immediately clear if they had attorneys.

At the same time, the city faces increases in employer retirement contribution rates and health insurance costs that should total about $2.2 million. About $2.5 million in shared revenues with Guilford County and the state could be at risk, and the city could be forced to take over state road maintenance responsibility at a cost of about $1 million per year. Boynton said no one has suggested a property tax increase. Each penny on the tax rate will raise about $900,000. Another possible way to raise revenue is to institute a $5 or $10 monthly garbage collection fee that would raise $2.1 million to $4.2 million. Although not recommended, transferring money from the electric or water and sewer funds to the general fund is another option. To date, the city has

LEONARD PITTS: Obama appeals for civility in government. TOMORROW

Opinion Page Editor: Vince Wheeler vwheeler@hpe.com (336) 888-3517

How do we pay off this massive national debt?

Can the budget be balanced? I read that the national debt is so much it would be allocated to every man, woman and child $365,000 each to pay it off. The value of our dollar is not worth much; the national debt is out of control. If we are going to redistribute the wealth and turn to communism, we need to take some drastic measures now. We could return back to the income tax system of the late 1940s when the time was if your taxable income was over $200,000, you paid 92 percent federal tax and 6 percent state tax, leaving you with 2 percent of the amount over $200,000. After one year, we could pay off the national debt; pass a law of no borrowing and no loaning of money and no give-a-ways. For all who protested, we could revert to the time when the Cherokee Indians were rounded up and walked the “Trail of Tears” to Oklahoma with the Cherokee Indians in charge, so they could get even. The spirit of Geronimo would probably be heard even though he was not a Cherokee, but was shipped off to Florida and could not even see one of his wives (worse than waterboarding). We could fast-forward the inheritance tax law that gives the government 50 percent. This way

For school safety, use SROs, Tasers

‘W

e do have to look at this as a budget matter,” Amos Quick said during a meeting of Guilford school and law enforcement officials last week. Guilford County Board of Education members remain divided over the value of school resource officers and the controversy that has arisen over stun guns. Guilford County Sheriff BJ Barnes, High Point Chief of Police Jim Fealy and Greensboro police Assistant Chief Gary Hastings adamantly support keeping SROs in middle and high schools while including Tasers as part of standard equipment. Some school board members are just as stubbornly opposed to SROs carrying and possibly using Tasers to quell disturbances or subdue a person who becomes unruly, resists arrest or attacks someone (especially a police officer) on school campuses. Using cost – $2.9 million for the 39 assigned officers – as added ammunition in their arguments, board members opposed to the use of Tasers seriously are considering replacing SROs with security guards, at least at the middle school level. Let’s hope, should the get-rid-of-the-SROs crowd prevail, that the school board isn’t being penny-wise and pound-foolish. We agree with Barnes, who declared at last week’s meeting that SROs “are more expensive, but you get more and the children are better off,” and even more so with Fealy, who said, “it would be a colossal mistake to remove the SROs.” Even with SROs on site, school officials have a difficult time providing a safe environment for students, in keeping order and in quickly, efficiently and as safely as possible mitigating disturbances major and minor. Security guards in the schools most likely would get no more respect nor be able to prevent and/or control dangerous behavior inside the schools or deal effectively with threats and/or actions from outsiders than they do at Oak Hollow Mall or a variety of other locations around the county. As we noted in this space in November, the record contains plenty of reports of fights among students and violence in our schools, including injuries to school administrators assaulted by students. Officers must be armed sufficiently to provide for students, teachers and administrative personnel the protection they are assigned to give. Granted, officers must be thoroughly trained in how and when to use Tasers and clear rules should guide their use. But we see keeping SROs and them reaching for a Taser instead of the standard firearms officers carry on our streets if forced to take action as extremely necessary to keep safety a priority in our schools.

Unexpected snow holidays give us special time

riday morning, I woke myself up singing. The song, “Let It Snow.” True to my nature, I accepted this to be a good omen. As inch upon inch of snow piled up outside my window Friday and Saturday, I couldn’t help but let the winter wonderland raise my hopes as I eagerly awaited my first choice college’s Sunday decision-posting. However, reflecting on the hours I spent refreshing my “My UNC” page, I realize that perhaps the children frolicking around outside have a thing or two to teach me about snow. Perhaps snow isn’t meant to be just a “good omen.” Perhaps it’s meant to be more. As long as I can remember, my parents have referred to me as a “snow baby,” prompting me to believe that I always have and always will love snow. Those who have witnessed my reaction to a season’s first snow can attest to the validity of this; I revert to age 4, giggling, dancing and of course stumbling around with my tongue out trying to catch a few flakes. To me, those flakes are so much more than droplets of frozen water falling from the sky. They are a reminder that beautiful, miraculous things are most magical when they are unplanned and beyond our control. Instead of enjoying the snow in its entirety, though, the older I have gotten, the quicker I find myself alone inside, determined to continue business as usual, occasionally forgetting about the snow altogether. I’m not the only one. It seems more and more people are becoming antagonistic about my good omen, venting their frustration in the form of a Facebook status: “The snow ruined my weekend plans!” Though I am one of

the last people who would ever be angry about a snow day, my friends’ grumblings have prompted me to realize something we have in common: we are all misunderstanding snow. TEEN VIEW Snow is not intended to be a personal injury to Leslie Ann weekend plans, nor to be Blake an omen of something to ■■■ come. Snow has no intentions. … It’s simply an opportunity for which you decide the meaning. But ignoring the snow is hardly making the best of an opportunity, and cursing it will not cause it to spontaneously melt. The simple fact of life is: snow happens. It’s those unexpected holidays, those times when an opportunity presents itself, and we haven’t the faintest idea how to react. Snow doesn’t “ruin” plans, it simply changes them. Snow days never should be wasted deciding how to spend them. They should just be enjoyed. My acceptance into Carolina on a snow day wasn’t a good omen that I would have a perfect four years of college ahead of me; it was the opportunity of a lifetime. So here’s to the snow. To all the snowmen, snow-angels, igloos, snowball fights, sled races, and to going back inside to warm up with those who warm our hearts. Most importantly, here’s to how much more magical our lives are when we embrace those snowy moments. Teen View columnist LESLIE ANN BLAKE is a senior at High Point Central High School.

Militants float bombs toward Israel

JERUSALEM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Palestinian militants said Tuesday they had launched a large number of floating explosives into the Mediterranean Sea to avenge the death of a top Hamas commander. Israeli authorities launched an intensive search for new bombs, closing miles of beaches, deploying robotic bomb squads and ordering surfers out of the waters.

Saudi Arabia wants bin Laden expelled

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Saudi Arabia said during a visit by Afghan President Hamid Karzai Tuesday that it will not get involved in peacemaking in Afghanistan unless the Taliban stops providing shelter and severs all ties with Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida movement. Afghan President Hamid Karzai is visiting Saudi Arabia hoping for a active Saudi role in his plan to persuade Taliban militants to switch sides.

Leader proposes swap of prisoners for hikers

TEHRAN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday proposed a swap of Iranians in U.S. prisons for three American hikers being held in Tehran. Ahmadinejad said in an interview with state TV that there were ongoing negotiations about exchanging the hikers for several Iranians jailed for years in the United States.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Twenty armed men blocked a road and tried to hijack a convoy of food for earthquake victims, but were driven off by police gunfire, U.N. officials said Tuesday as they warned of security problems in a still-desperate nation. The attack on the convoy as it carried supplies from an airport in the southern town of Jeremie underscored the shaky safety in the streets that has added to Haitiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; frustration at the slow pace of aid since the Jan. 12 earthquake. Most quake victims are still living outside in squalid tents of sheets and sticks and aid officials acknowledge they have not yet gotten food to the majority of those in need. Mobs have stolen food and looted goods from their neighbors in the camps, prompting many to band together or stay awake at night to prevent raids. Haitian police have increased their own patrols and are accompanying UN police guarding aid distribution.

Iran says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready to send uranium abroad for further enrichment TEHRAN, Iran (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iran said on Tuesday it was ready to send its uranium abroad for further enrichment as requested by the U.N. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iran will have â&#x20AC;&#x153;no problemâ&#x20AC;? giving the West its lowenriched uranium and taking it back several months later when it is enriched by 20 percent.

Combining Cosmetic Breast and Abdominal Surgery It is very common for a woman to come to see me with concern about the appearance of her breasts and her abdomen. This typically occurs after she has had all of her children. God help us, we love our children, but the cosmetic toll that pregnancy brings can be signiďŹ cant! Similarly, a large weight loss can have a negative effect on our cosmetic appearance. The changes that occur in the breasts vary, but usually the skin stretches beyond what it can recover naturally. You then lose some volume as well. This gives you a double whammy for your breasts --- they are smaller and now droopy. Breast augmentation is the solution to the loss of volume. Breast enlargement is one of our most common cosmetic procedures. A breast lift might help with sagging. This is a fantastic operation. Raising the nipple and tightening the skin does wonders for the cosmetic look of breasts. Often we do both-- a lift, and an enlarge, at the same time, for a fantastic change in appearance.

Sometimes after pregnancy the breast will stay larger than before. If this becomes a problem, a breast reduction is the operation for you. The result is a shapelier, smaller breast with elevated nipples. The changes in the abdomen after pregnancy usually involve three things. Sometime there is more fat deposited there, the skin has stretched out (probably now with stretch marks showing,) and the abdominal muscles have been stretched apart. Liposuction is the cosmetic surgery solution to the fat deposits. This works great when done on the right person -- usually someone who has no excess skin. This means, if you have loose skin, liposuction alone will not be enough, and you need some of that excess skin removed. Here a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty is appropriate. We remove a football-shaped piece of skin and the fat below it -- from the pubic hair up to the belly button. Now all the stretch marks below the belly button are gone! At the same

time we can sew the stretched out muscles tighter. Voila, a more taut, ďŹ&#x201A;atter stomach. Combining procedures can be a great opportunity for you. We wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let you do too much at one time, but if it is safe, this saves you time and money. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less expensive to combine the procedures than to do them separately. Perhaps, even more beneďŹ cial, there is only ONE recovery. The single recovery may be a few days longer, but much shorter than having two separate operations from which to recover. So, what about pain? We have a pain pump that can bathe the surgical area with numbing medicine for days. This has truly been a blessing in treating the pain of breast enlargement and abdominoplasties. Do not let fear of pain keep you from learning about these procedures! So give us a call. If pregnancy or weight loss has wrought some changes, hey, you deserve to look the best you can! We can help.

Obama lashes out at Republican critics NASHUA, N.H. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; President Barack Obama unleashed bare-knuckled criticism against opposition Republicans on Tuesday, using some of his toughest language yet to paint them as electoral opportunists willing to switch positions at will to score points with voters. The presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fellow Democrats have been pleading with him, as de facto leader of his party, to get tougher on Republicans leading into this fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s midterm congressional and gubernatorial elections. Those calls increased with the Democratsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stunning loss two weeks ago of a Senate seat in Massachusetts, seen as an indictment of Democratic leadership in Washington and a po-

Evidence pins NY crash cause on pilot errors WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Evidence laid out by safety investigators Tuesday pins the cause of an airline crash into a house near Buffalo, N.Y., last year on errors by the pilots, but officials said the root problems extend far beyond a single event. National Transportation Safety Board chairwoman Deborah Hersman said the accident casts doubt on whether regional airlines are held to the same level of safety as are major airlines, and she promised the board will pursue the issue. She also criticized the Federal Aviation Administration for taking too long to address safety problems raised by the investigation, saying the

same issues have turned up before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today is Groundhog Day, and I feel like we are in that movie,â&#x20AC;? Hersman said, referring to the 1993 Bill Murray movie about a Pittsburgh weatherman who repeatedly lives through the same day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have made recommendations time after time after time. They havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been heeded by the FAA.â&#x20AC;? Hersman praised FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt for initiating regulation changes in response to the crash on Feb. 12, 2009. But Hersman said Babbitt has been unable so far to push reforms â&#x20AC;&#x153;across the finish lineâ&#x20AC;? and that congressional action may be needed.

3 children mauled by escaped dogs

FONTANA, Calif. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A 5-year-old California girl who was mauled along with two siblings by a pack of escaped dogs remained hospitalized Tuesday and was unable to breath on her own, police said. The girl, whose name was not released, was walking with her mother and three siblings along train tracks when they were attacked Monday afternoon by five dogs that escaped a nearby yard by digging under a fence, said Fontana police Sgt. Jeff Decker. One dog, a mastiff, pulled the girl from her

motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand and â&#x20AC;&#x153;and tossed the child around like a rag doll,â&#x20AC;? Decker said. The girl suffered a punctured lung, broken ribs and numerous bites. She remained hospitalized in

critical condition and was breathing with the help of a ventilator, Decker said. Her brother, who is about 7, also remained hospitalized after needing 237 staples to close a leg wound, he said.

Bargain hunting County, school leaders prepare to hash out budget BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

GUILFORD COUNTY – With Commissioner Steve Arnold taking the lead, county leaders began to focus closely Tuesday on the school district’s upcoming budget. Arnold, a High Point Republican, said he wants to know “how every dime is spent.” County taxpayers provided $175 million this year for the school dis-

The school district could be faced with more than $4 million in increased funding needs next year to cover increasing enrollments, staff retirement and benefit contributions. A committee of four commissioners and four school board members will meet again Feb. 10 to start a series of budget reviews.

trict’s $591 million budget. Arnold, Guilford County Board of Commissioners vice chairman, said he wants to know which expenses are state mandated and which are local options. “I want to know every line item,” Arnold said. Arnold mentioned possibly replacing school

resource officers in the middle schools with security guards. He also complained that the school board has often shown up at the last minute too many times with a budget. “We need to find a way of working better together than your showing up at the last minute,” Arnold

told a budget committee of commissioners and school board members, “so that we have to see the signs about not hurting our teachers.” Commissioners said they are looking for ways to save. “We need to see the expenditures, and what’s left for the year,” said Democratic Commissioner Bruce Davis of High Point. “If you have not spent some funds, then you may be able to reroute some of that.” Sharon Ozment, district chief financial officer, warned the district could face state cuts again this year ranging from $11 to $25 million. State cuts in the current budget totaled $22 million.

Superintendent Mo Green welcomed the opportunity to show commissioners the district’s budget process and needs listed in the district’s strategic plan. “We know the superintendent has a vision, “ said at-large Democratic Commissioner John Parks of High Point. “We need to see what it costs and what we may have to turn down.” “We need more dialog about what plan initiatives are working and what needs to be sustained,” said at-large school board member Sandra Alexander. dnivens@hpe.com | 888-3626

HIGH POINT – The High Point City Council adopted a new annexation agreement with Thomasville Monday that essentially keeps in place the same potential growth areas between the cities that were outlined in an arrangement established 15 years ago. That agreement was set to expire March 1, so High Point took action this week. The Thomasville City Council is expected to do the same later this month. The agreement divides portions of unincorporated northwestern Randolph County near Interstate 85 Business Loop into areas that could be annexed by either city, with High Point’s territory primarily north of the highway. A public hearing on the agreement drew no speakers. The city is expected soon to renew an annexation agreement with Archdale that is about to expire and to establish an agreement with Trinity. Also Monday, the council voted to authorize city staff to execute an agreement with the N.C. Department of Transportation for the funding and design of the airport area roadway network. The project will entail a planning and environmental study and design/engineering work for the widening of Johnson Street/Sandy Ridge Road from Skeet Club Road to Interstate 40 in northwest High Point. The project has been a high priority for many years among transportation planners. The city has been approved for up to $6.4 million in federal funds for environmental planning and design of this project and two subprojects. Funding for construction is not included. City staff estimated that construction funding is probably more than five years away and will probably involve a combination of state and local sources. The first of the two smaller, related projects is a feasibility study under way by the Greensboro Department of Transportation to evaluate alternatives for interchange improvements at I-40 and the widening of Sandy Ridge Road northward to its terminus at W. Market Street in Greensboro. The second involves studying possible interim measures to address steadily increasing congestion on the N.C. 68 corridor from Penny Road to north of I-40. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

More families may cash in on tax credit BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – As tax season kicks into full swing this month, the Internal Revenue Service is touting a tax credit that more families may be eligible for after facing tough economic conditions in 2009. The Earned Income Tax Credit has been increased and expanded to a new group of working families this year, according to Patrick Laughrey, area manager for Jackson and Hewitt. With an additional $7.4 million in funding, the tax credit is one of the biggest alterations during this tax season, he said. “This is one of the biggest changes this year,” Laughrey said. “It’s going to be a lot more money in the pockets of tax payers.” For the first time, the tax credit will expand to filers who

claim three or more qualifying children with an income less than $49,000 a year. Originally designed for filers that claim one or two eligible children, the expanded credit will offer up to $5,657 to filers who claim three or more qualifying children. Also, filers who claim two children can earn up to $5,028, an increase of $204 from last year, or $3,043 for one child, an increase of $126 from last year. The tax credit has been around for 35 years, so most filers are aware of it, Laughrey said, but tough economic conditions may have lowered the pay of individuals who earned more than $49,000 in past years, allowing them to take advantage of the credit this year. “Some people who have had a lot of earned income in the past but don’t this year because of the economy may not

realize it’s out there for them,” he said. The downside to the situation is that other economic factors, including high unemployment rates, also may prevent some filers from receiving the tax credit this tax season. “The title of the credit says it all,” he said. “It has to be earned income (that applies). Unemployment or social security do not count toward the credit. It has to be money you made working a job. That’s thrown a lot of people off this year since some only have unemployment to claim. That does not qualify them for the credit.” The IRS also is offering free tax return preparation and electronic filing at its Greensboro office at 320 Federal Place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Feb. 6 and Feb. 20. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617

Wife wants to leave BRING IT! but stay part of family

Dear Going Crazy:

Allow me to offer a clue. Harryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sisters appear to be traditional in their beliefs ADVICE and may consider Dear you to be Abby an adulterâ&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; ess who has wronged their brother. If the breach can be healed, Harry will have to explain to them that the divorce is also his idea because your marriage has been over for years. However, if your soon-tobe-ex is unwilling to step forward, then I seriously doubt time will heal this wound, so please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold your breath expecting any invitations when their clan gathers. Dear Abby: Ever since my father died 15 years ago, my mother has pursued her childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends and made them her own. Example: I live in another state and have had a best friend, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anne,â&#x20AC;? for 20 years. Mom has gotten to know Anne quite well over the years, through me. She now calls Anne long distance, invites her to come and stay with her (without me), and considers the two of them best friends. Last week when I talked to Anne, I learned that Mother will be joining us on a girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; trip I had planned with my closest friends. Mother has done this with my siblingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; friends, too â&#x20AC;&#x201C; taking

them on trips with her or inviting them to visit. Since Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, she has severed most of their old friendships. Now, aside from our friends, her only friends are her secretary and some of her employees. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m having a hard time with this because I can no longer be open about my mother to Anne. Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship with Anne has changed my relationship with my friend, and I resent it. Is this normal? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Competing With Mom Dear Competing: No, but has it occurred to you that after your fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, their friends may have ended their relationship with your mother? According to my mail, it happens quite often because a widow may be perceived as a third wheel or even a threat. Your mother may be competing with you (and your siblings), or it could be a desperate attempt to be more involved in your lives. Does Anne know how uncomfortable this threeway has made you feel? If so, how did she respond when you told her? If you have discussed it, then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to recognize that the problem isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t entirely your mother, and you may be mad at the wrong person. DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

ear Abby: My husband, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harry,â&#x20AC;? and I had a good marriage for 25 years, but we have grown apart and have agreed to divorce when our child finishes college. We just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot in common anymore. Harry is on the road a lot, and I have my own business. My problem is I have fallen in love with Harryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cousin â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cyrus.â&#x20AC;? We met 25 years ago at my sister-in-lawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house and were instantly attracted. My mother-in-law reintroduced us five years ago so we could put together a business deal, and we became close. Cyrus is successful, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generous to me and my child. I have been secretly in love with him all these years, and now he has fallen in love with me, too. Because I plan to leave Harry does not mean I want to leave his family. I have a wonderful motherin-law and great sistersin-law, and I love being a part of their family. I enjoy the weddings, family reunions and even the memorial services. When I divorce Harry and marry Cyrus, I plan to remain part of the family, but my sisters-inlaw do not approve, and they no longer want to continue our friendship. If it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother my soon-to-be-ex-husband, why should my continuing to attend family reunions bother them? And will time heal all wounds? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Going Crazy in Alabama

Bronchiectasis fosters infection

GARFIELD

ear Dr. Donohue: Tell me something about bronchiectasis. I have had it for more than six months. Is it treatable? I use albuterol in a nebulizer. I am tired all the time and have no appetite. I have a cough with phlegm. Some nights I sweat. My doctor has me on ethambutol, clarithromycin and rifampin. – D.M.

BLONDIE

The bronchi are the airways, the breathing tubes. Bronchiectasis (BRONG-key-EK-tuh-siss) is a condition where the airways are stretched way out of shape. They become the perfect place for collection of thick, pus-filled secretions that promote coughing of yellow sputum, sometimes containing blood. The airway problem often results from previous infections, and it fosters recurrent infections. Antibiotics are frequently called upon to clear the airways of infecting germs. Medicines that open up the airways so that their thick secretions can drain are prescribed. Your albuterol nebulizer is such a medicine. If bronchiectasis is limited to one specific lung location, that section can be surgically removed, or removed through artery embolization. That’s a procedure in which the artery serving the involved lung part is injected with material that forms a clot. Cut off from its blood supply, that section of lung dies and is absorbed. I believe, however, that you suffer from the more-widespread

variety of bronchiectasis, where much of the lung is involved. You are HEALTH getting treatment. Dr. Paul You are Donohue on three ■■■ antibiotics: ethambutol, clarithromycin and rifampin. This combination of antibiotics is used for a germ called mycobacterium, a germ often associated with bronchiectasis. It’s a distant relative of the TB germ. Let me emphasize that you do not have TB, and you won’t spread the mycobacterium germ to others. It takes a long time to eliminate mycobacterium. If the germ succumbs to treatment, as it often does, you should be feeling much better. Your energy returns. You stop coughing. You don’t have further night sweats. Bronchiectasis is somewhat like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the two illnesses of emphysema and chronic bronchitis. This is a very common condition. Dear Dr. Donohue: I would like to know the following: If a frying chicken has 10 percent saturated fat and 30 percent cholesterol with its skin, how much fat and cholesterol does it have without its skin? – R.B. Does the label list fat and cholesterol as percentages or as grams? Let me do this in grams.

A fried chicken breast with skin (about 3 or so ounces) has 8.7 grams of fat, 2.4 grams of which is saturated fat, the bad kind of fat. It has 87 mg of cholesterol. (The daily total of cholesterol should be kept under 300 mg.) A fried chicken breast without skin has 4.1 grams of fat, of which only 1.1 grams is saturated fat. It contains 78 mg of cholesterol. You can see that there is a big difference in the amount of fat between the two. The same decrease in fat occurs with other parts of the chicken when the skin is removed – wings, drumsticks, etc. Dear Dr. Donohue: What can you tell me about sniffing or smoking incense? The teenagers are into this. Are there side effects? – F.C. The only information I can find on this topic is a study that took place in Singapore on a large number of Chinese there. They lived in cramped quarters where incense was burning constantly. Those people had an increased incidence of cancers of the tongue, mouth, nasal passages and larynx (voice box). I have to admit, I was unaware of this fad. I thought it was my age, but I talked to many teens, and they had no knowledge of it. Maybe it’s a regional thing.

DR. DONOHUE regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) – The science-fiction sensation “Avatar” and the war-on-terror thriller “The Hurt Locker” lead the Academy Awards with nine nominations each, including best picture and director for former spouses James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow. For the first time since 1943 the Oscars feature 10 best-picture contenders instead of the usual five. Also nominated for bestpicture Tuesday: “District 9”; the animated comedy “Up”; the World War II saga “Inglourious Basterds”; the football drama “The Blind Side”; the recession tale “Up in The Air,” the 1960s drama “A Serious Man,” and the teen tales “An Education” and “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ By Sapphire.” Acting nominees include: lead players Sandra Bullock for “The Blind Side” and Jeff Bridges for the country-music tale “Crazy Heart” and supporting performers Mo’Nique for “Precious” and Christoph Waltz for “Inglourious Basterds.” The best-picture and director categories set up a showdown between ex-spouses who directed films that have dominated earlier HolBigelow lywood honors.

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

High Point Regional Hospital emergency room nurse Debbie Galloway almost died of a heart attack in 2008.

“Queen of Hearts: Going Red Fashion Show and Luncheon,” a community education event sponsored by Carolina Regional Heart Center, has been rescheduled due to inclement weather for Feb. 19, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., at High Point Country Club, 800 Country Club Road. Local cardiologist Dr. Kathryn McFarland will discuss heart-healthy tips for women, and heart-attack survivor Debbie Galloway will share her story. A fashion show and heart-healthy lunch are also planned. Women are encouraged to wear red in conjunction with Go Red For Women, a national awareness campaign sponsored by the American Heart Association. The cost is $20 per person, payable at the door by cash or check (made payable to High Point Regional). Reservations are required. To reserve a spot, call the Contact Center at 8786888.

A problem women ignore The No. 1 killer of females? It’s heart disease BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

ebbie Galloway wasn’t particularly concerned about the nausea, vomiting and discomfort she woke up with that night in April 2008. Oh sure, she had a history of heart disease – she’d had three stents placed in her arteries a few years earlier – but heart attacks happen to other people. And besides, the last time she’d gone to the hospital with chest discomfort, the pain was gone by the time she got there and a stress test showed she was just fine. “That’s the reason I hesitated about going to the hospital,” she recalls. “I thought it was the same pain as before. I thought it wasn’t a heart attack, because it wasn’t a heart attack the last time.” She was wrong – and very nearly dead-wrong.

“It was the middle of the night, so it was a couple of hours before I even woke my husband (Mike) up,” Galloway McFarland continues. “He said, ‘We’re going to the hospital,’ and I said, ‘No, I just want to lay here for a few minutes.’ But if I had laid there, I would’ve died. By the time I got to the hospital, I was in real trouble.” Nearly two years later, the 57-year-old Thomasville woman speaks of her heart attack with the wisdom of a woman who learned her lesson the hard way. “Don’t ever ignore any kind of symptoms,” says Galloway, who will share her story at the annual “Queen of Hearts” luncheon, a community education event aimed at increasing women’s awareness of heart disease. Dr. Kathryn McFarland, a car-

diologist with Carolina Regional Heart Center, will speak about women and heart disease. The event will also include a hearthealthy lunch and a fashion show. The event will take place Feb. 19 at the High Point Country Club. Tickets are $10 apiece, and reservations are required. “I think community events like this have really helped with public awareness,” Galloway says. “Getting the word out to women that we’re not invincible to heart problems has helped a lot.” Still, the numbers indicate heart disease remains a serious threat to women. According to the American Heart Association, one in three women have some form of cardiovascular disease, and every minute a

woman dies of cardiovascular disease. Moreover, even though more women die of cardiovascular disease than the next five causes of death combined – including all forms of cancer – only one in five women realize heart disease is their greatest health risk. As a nurse in the emergency room at High Point Regional Hospital for some 30 years, Galloway surely knew the threat heart disease poses to women, having seen countless women heart-attack patients in the ER. And she still nearly did the wrong thing when she suffered her own heart attack. Now, though, she’s doing what she can to help spread the word. “You have to know the symptoms,” Galloway says. “You think, ‘It could never happen to me,’ but it can.”

RACE OR RIDE BBQ

The Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center will be a beneficiary of donations made during the “Race or Ride BBQ” Thursday at the RCR Museum in Welcome.

The resolutions you make should bring out the strengths in the people around you. Your strong beliefs and strategy will inspire and encourage. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It won’t hurt to take a different approach to the way you handle the situations that arise. Instead of taking a back seat, discuss problems head on and you will find solutions. Take action. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Make some moves toward a better profession or a job that will enable you to use your skills and talents to the fullest. Your future is about to take a turn for the better. A different geographical location looks promising. ★★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Let your inhibitions go and your creativity take over in all that you pursue. You will get a favorable response from the people who can make a difference to your future. Don’t procrastinate when the possibilities are endless. ★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Move in a direction that will help you map out a better future.

Be willing to let go of the people who are not contributing and engage with the ones who are. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Opportunities are present but you have to be willing to make the effort. It may be time for you to check out a different occupation that will bring greater satisfaction. Love is looking good but don’t let it cost you. ★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Now is not the time to make an important personal decision. You can’t even trust your own judgment, let alone someone else’s. You are emotionally uncertain and will not benefit if you follow your heart. Sit and observe. ★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Believe in yourself. You can make a connection with someone who has plenty to offer financially, personally and emotionally. Joining forces will keep you moving in the right direction. ★★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Reflection is the answer.

“That Grapefruit ought to keep his words soft and sweet,” a club player told me. “It’d be much easier when he has to eat them.” Grapefruit, our acidtongued member, makes his partners miserable. “Grapefruit was North,” I was told, “and West led a heart against four spades. East took the king and led a diamond to West’s ace. South won the next diamond, cashed the ace of hearts, led a trump to his ace, took the king of diamonds and queen of hearts, and led a trump to ... the king.

DAILY QUESTION IGNORANCE

“South next took the top clubs and led a trump. When West produced the queen, Grapefruit had his say – loud and sour: ‘Partner, your ignorance is encyclopedic. Ever heard of (BEGIN ITALICS)eight ever, nine never?(END ITALICS)’ ” At Trick 12 West had to lead a red card, and declarer ruffed in dummy and threw his last club. Making four. Grapefruit had to eat his words. South’s refusal to finesse in trumps was quite reasonable. It would cost only if West had Q-x-x in trumps and three clubs, an unlikely parlay.

You hold: S Q 10 3 H 10 5 3 2 D A 9 6 3 C 10 3. Your partner opens one club, you respond one heart and he bids one spade. The opponents pass. What do you say? ANSWER: This is a close call. Partner’s minimum change of suit is not forcing, and one spade may be a decent spot – and may be your last makable contract. To pass might be right, but since you have an ace and a working queen, game is barely possible. I’d accept a bid of 1NT. North dealer Both sides vulnerable

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help.

Goals more than golds for skater

WHO’S NEWS

---

rom the time she first strapped on inline skates at the age of 9, Heather Richardson raced to success. Two national records as part of High Point Rol-A-Rink’s speed team in her first year of competition. A spot on the U.S. Junior World team in 2005 and three gold medals. An invitation to be whisked from inlines to speedskates, which netted a top-12 showing at the Junior Worlds in her first year competing on a frozen surface. Sure, the 2007 High Point Central graduate pondered a SPORTS shot at the Olympics – the 2014 games in Russia. Steve Then again, Richardson’s not Hanf been one to take it slow. ■■■ “Me and my parents, it was ‘either go now or wait a long time to go,’ ” Richardson recalled when chatting by phone last week from Salt Lake City. “We were in the moment. I was definitely shooting for 2014, so I wasn’t sure I would be able to come out here this soon.” This soon is 2010 – now – and the decision made by Heather and parents Jeff and Pat set the precocious speedskater blazing a trail to the Vancouver Games. On Tuesday, Richardson and her Olympic teammates departed Salt Lake City for the Olympic Village. The 20-year-old will compete in the 500 meters on Feb. 16, the 1,000 meters on Feb. 18 and the 1,500 meters on Feb. 21. Richardson and Ryan Shimabukuro, head coach of US Speedskating’s national long track sprint training, believe this trip primarily will benefit the young skater in the long run. “Right now I believe it’s just to get experience,” Richardson said of her spot on the team. “In the beginning of the year, we were even talking ‘if you just make the team, you make the team.’ We were definitely looking at 2014 like I was.” But... “I’m right with the other girls,” Richardson added. “It’s pretty much whoever has the best race that day.” Shimabukuro agreed. “To say she’s a medal contender right now would be a little bit of a stretch; however, if she puts together a near-perfect race and has the right frame of mind going into the 1,000-meter, I think she has an outside chance at the podium,” the coach said. “I don’t think too many other countries have her on the radar, so there’s not a lot of pressure on her to perform.” Of course, how would countries know of Richardson? She was only whipped into shape – literally – three years ago. Richardson’s breakthrough came when the Olympic committee and USA Roller Sports launched an initiative called the “Wheels to Ice Program” – WHIP. Her first year saw a top-12 showing at the Junior Worlds. She followed that with a top-20 effort at the World Sprint Championships and was named to the U.S. national team the past two years. In December of 2008, Richardson became the U.S. Sprint champion, sweeping four races against some of America’s best and most experienced performers on the ice. She earned a spot in the Olympics in the 500 and 1,000 with her performances in U.S. Speedskating’s World Cup Qualifier last October. At the 2010 U.S. Speedskating Championships at the end of December, Richardson also broke through in the 1,500, racing to first place there for her third Olympic qualifying time. The 1,000 is Richardson’s favorite event, she explained, “just because there’s enough

EDITOR’S NOTE

---

Due to early deadlines mandated by the threat of icy roads, most of Tuesday night’s sporting events ended too late to be included in today’s edition of The High Point Enterprise. Look for stories and boxscores on the Miami at Wake Forest and High Point University men at Longwood basketball games in Thursday’s edition.

High Point’s Heather Richardson is focused and determined as the Winter Olympics loom. She is scheduled to compete in the 500 meters on Feb. 16, the 1,000 meters on Feb. 18 and the 1,500 meters on Feb. 21. room to where if you make a mistake you can make it up, but it’s not too long, so it’s not quite into the endurance.” And as someone who still battles mistakes regularly from her inline days, Richardson appreciates that margin for error. “The biggest adjustment is working on my form, for sure,” she explained. “On inlines, you can get away with anything. On the ice, you have to be crisp with every move you make. It’s something I work on daily off the ice.” Shimabukuro said those who transition from inline to speedskates face obstacles with their body positioning and how they deliver force to the ice as opposed to a hard track. “I do know it was frustrating for her in the beginning,” the coach said. “We’re trying not to dramatically change her style. We’ve tried to slowly change the technique and stay within her style. Heather’s been a true blessing. Working with her over the last few

years, she’s very coachable. She works really hard to improve her skating and has a really good attitude.” Slow changes so far have led to fast gains in Richardson’s new sport. That’s exactly why no one is counting her out even at these Olympics. “She’s very young and she has a very, very bright future. We’re very excited to see in this short period of time she’s already come along so far,” Shimabukuro said. “One strong thing about Heather is she likes to compete. Under that gentle smile is a fierce competitor. I really think that’s her secret weapon. A lot of skaters underestimate her, and because her style is a little unorthodox, she flies under the radar.” Now that she’s flying to Vancouver, that picture may change. shanf@hpe.com | 888-3526

Manning’s star shines brightest on media day MIAMI (AP) – Four MVP awards carry quite a bit of clout. So it was no surprise that Peyton Manning’s appearance at Super Bowl media day was part rock star, part presidential,

with a bit of a scrum thrown in for good measure. The Indianapolis Colts quarterback was clearly the biggest attraction on Tuesday, his podium surrounded by as many as 100 reporters, photographers

and cameramen throughout his hour-long session. The media was already staking out spots an hour ahead of time, and there was even a bit of jostling between two journalists before Manning arrived.

HIT AND RUN

obe Bryant passed Jerry West as the Lakers’ career scoring leader in Monday night’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. It was good to see West’s name resurface on the national scene, because “Mr. Clutch” still ranks as one of the five greatest basketball players I’ve ever watched. West averaged 27 points and 6.7 assists per game in a stellar NBA career from 1960-74. He finished with 25,192 points, 5,366 rebounds and 6,238 assists.

A 14-time NBA All-Star, West earned first-team All-NBA honors 10 times and was named to the league’s 50th anniversary alltime team in 1996. He was MVP of the 1969 NBA Finals despite losing to the Celtics in seven games. He was NBA All-Star Game MVP in 1972 – which also marks the only time West played on an NBA championship team. But stats and accolades don’t tell the full story. West’s court presence and pure shoot-

ing stroke inspired the NBA to make him “The Logo” of the NBA. Few players could match West’s defensive skills or passing ability. And if West had played with a 3-point line, he easily would have scored another 10,000 points – or more. Congratulations to Bryant on his milestone. He’s a great player. But so was Mr. West.

New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez will have surgery on his left knee and is expected to be ready in time for training camp. The team said Tuesday that the operation, which will repair the patella ligament that holds the kneecap in place, will be performed by Jets physician Dr. Ken Montgomery and orthopedist Dr. Elliott Hershman in the next few weeks. Sanchez, who led the Jets to the AFC title game in his rookie season, will miss some offseason workouts but general manager Mike Tannenbaum has said the quarterback would be completely healthy by the start of training camp in July if he had surgery. The Daily News of New York first reported Sanchez’s decision. Sanchez dislocated the kneecap during fall practice before his junior season at Southern California. He has worn a brace on the knee since, but aggravated the injury against Carolina on Nov. 29. He had both knees examined by team doctors last week and sought a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala., before deciding on surgery. It is expected to help prevent future tweaks to the kneecap area.

AP FILE

Jimmie Johnson celebrates after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway in this Nov. 22, 2009 file photo. Johnson targets an unprecedented fifth straight Cup title this season.

Johnson enjoys championship comfort zone S tewart-Haas Racing competition director Bobby Hutchens can see the parallels. As an engineer at Richard Childress Racing, Hutchens was part of Dale Earnhardt’s glory years in which RCR dominated NASCAR’s premier division in the late 1980s and early ‘90s. Thinking back to his days of working with Earnhardt, Hutchens sees some of the same traits that Earnhardt had in the current king of the track, Jimmie Johnson. “There are similarities,” Hutchens said. “A lot of people look over Jimmie’s determination and the ability to elevate his game. When I was with Dale, when he decided he was going to win a race, he usually went and won the race. I see a lot of that in Jimmie.” He’s also seen Johnson do some things that seven-time champions Earnhardt and Richard Petty failed to do – win four straight championships and be voted the Associated Press male athlete of the year. The start of Johnson’s and his Hendrick Motorsports team’s drive for a fifth straight championship starts Friday when practice begins for the 52nd Daytona 500 a week from Sunday. Hutchens, who benefits at Stewart-Haas from a technical alliance with Hendrick that includes engines, not only sees a common thread in Johnson and Earnhardt but also in their teams. RCR was the top outfit in the business when Earnhardt ruled the roost. Hendrick is the top team today with nine championships in the past 15 seasons. “(Johnson’s crew chief) Chad Knaus is top dog on pit road,” Hutchens said. “They kept the nucleus of their team, which we did. That plays a big part of it, having the left arm knowing what the right arm is doing. ... It’s not so much that you are dominant in one area; you’ve got a little edge in several areas. That’s what makes it hard for people to catch them.” And where Earnhardt tried to physically intimidate people on the track and played mind games, the low-key Johnson has become intimidating just by winning a series-best 47 races since becoming a regular in 2002.

Plus, he wins championships with almost robot-like precision. At least Denny Hamlin feels that way about Johnson. Hamlin said he wrecked himself in the late stages of a race at Auto Club Speedway SPORTS in California last October trying to stay ahead of JohnGreer son and trying to remain in Smith contention in the Chase for ■■■ the Championship. In his haste to jump to the front on a double-file restart. Hamlin cut over before clearing Juan Pablo Montoya, hooked the front of Montoya’s car and went spinning into a wall that separates the pits and the frontstretch. The crash basically ended Hamlin’s chances of winning the championship. “He’s cool under pressure,” Hamlin said of Johnson. “He forced me into a wreck at California, not physically but mentally. I knew he had the car to beat. I knew there was no way I was going to beat him unless I outdrove him. And I drove over my head and wrecked. He forced me to make a mistake. That’s what he is so good at.” Hamlin felt that he had to make up ground on Johnson because his No. 48 team under Knaus has very rarely faltered. They were so good in the Chase last year that Johnson could have very well clinched the title with a race to go if he had not been wrecked by Sam Hornish Jr. in the opening laps at Texas Motor Speedway. “Hendrick’s cars are so reliable,” Hamlin said. “You know they are not going to have any mechanical troubles, so you’ve got to beat them on the track. That’s what he is so good at. He forces people to make mistakes. “That’s what champions do. They don’t make mistakes. They force other people to make mistakes.” In the case of Johnson and Knaus, they have developed a formula and routine for attacking the Chase for the Championship. Johnson believes that they will use it again

this season. After all, if it’s not broken, why change? Johnson used the formula to post four wins, a second, a fourth, a fifth, a sixth and a ninth in nine of the 10 Chase races. The formula has resulted in 12 victories in the 40 Chase races during his championship years. “My mindset is the same as last year,” Johnson said. “We’ve found a rhythm, an approach, a confidence, a style, whatever it is, that works. Winning the championship in 2006 was tough because we hadn’t won one. When we won, then we had a road map. In 2007, it went more smoothly and we felt good about things. In 2008, we were really comfortable creating our own destiny, running these races. Last year was the same. “I have a good idea of how I think I can do it, but there are so many variables in the sport – technology keeps changing, tires keep changing, rules keep changing. I don’t know if it is going to work. But from a mental idea, I think I know what I have to do.” With the domination have come complaints that Johnson’s winning with ease is bad for the sport – a complaint that dogged most drivers who have been fortunate enough to be overpowering. “The fact that we have made history, I think is good for the sport,” Johnson said. “It makes people think back to Earnhardt, think back to Petty. The question of greatest ever comes along. There are so many things to spin off of it. It takes it in a whole different direction.” Johnson, who has blended into the woodwork at times because of a bland public personality, is now becoming more outspoken as he adapts to his celebrity. “As the years go by and I accomplish more stuff, I get more comfortable in my own skin – my place in the sport, my voice in the sport, how I interact with NASCAR and the fans,” Johnson said. The more Johnson becomes more comfortable, the more uncomfortable the days for the opposition become. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

With area schools idled another day by icy roads, yet another slate of prep games has been either postponed or canceled. Below is a look at upcoming schedules as provided by the schools – and under the assumption that the next wave of potential winter weather doesn’t put a halt to Friday’s contests. According to Rick Strunk at the N.C. High School Athletic Association, schools are permitted by a provision in the new rulebook to play four games during any two weeks of the regular season as long as the fourth is on a non-school day. Any schools that haven’t taken advantage of that provision yet could be looking at a busy week next Monday through Saturday. High Point Central: Friday’s scheduled basketball games at home vs. Glenn are moved up to Thursday; the Bison home games vs. Parkland are tentatively scheduled for Saturday at 3 and 4:30 p.m.; basketball vs. Grimsley is canceled.

Trail Blazers cool off Bobcats

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – The Portland Trail Blazers were determined to overcome the slow starts that were costly in two recent consecutive home losses. On Monday night, the Trail Blazers started quickly and led from the opening basket in beating Charlotte 98-79. Portland (29-21) hit its first four shots and wound up shooting 53.3 percent. The Bobcats, who lost for the first time in four games, missed their first four shots and finished the game shooting 40.6 percent. The quick start, which put Portland in front 10-2 and 29-19 by the end of the first quarter, was nothing like the Blazers’ recent losses to New Orleans and Utah. In those games, Portland couldn’t recover after trailing by double digits during the first quarter. Blazers guard Jerryd Bayless was crucial to the start, as he scored eight of his 15 points in the first six minutes. “Coach (Nate McMillan) gave me an opportunity to be aggressive and that is what I did, stay aggressive,” Bayless said.

Charlotte coach Larry Brown said he noticed Portland’s motivation from the outset. “They played with unbelievable energy, shared the ball and did all the good things,” Brown said. Portland had six players score in double figures, led by LaMarcus Aldridge with 17 points. Nicolas Batum and Bayless had 15 points each, followed by Rudy Fernandez with 11 and Martell Webster and Dante Cunningham with 10 each. Andre Miller, who had 52 points on Saturday, had eight points and 10 assists for the Blazers. Portland didn’t need a career high from Miller this time, as the Blazers had significant contributions from its bench players. The Blazers’ six reserves outscored Charlotte’s reserves 45-19. “Their bench was far superior. I think they really determined the game,” Brown said. Leading the way for Charlotte was Stephen Jackson, who scored 23 points. Gerald Wallace had 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Bobcats. Charlotte came into Monday’s game on a high note,

having posted a 12-4 record in January, a franchise best for a month in terms of winning percentage and wins. The Bobcats averaged 112.7 points in their past three games, road wins over Phoenix, Golden State and Sacramento. It was the Bobcats’ fifth game in seven days during this six-game Western Conference road swing, but the Bobcats were not making any excuses for their loss. “You can say we’re road weary, but at the end of the day we still have to come compete and give all we have and I don’t think we did that tonight,” Jackson said. Portland led 51-43 at halftime, and three minutes into the second half had a 60-46 edge as Aldridge scored the Blazers’ first six points of the third quarter. Charlotte made a push midway through the quarter with a run of 10 unanswered points, and trailed 72-65 heading into the fourth quarter. The Bobcats pulled within 76-70 early in the quarter when Portland went on an 8-1 run to stretch its lead to 13 points. The Blazers maintained a double-digit lead the rest of the game.

Oilers snap 13-game skid with win over Hurricanes

Los Angeles Lakers’ Kobe Bryant (right) drives to the basket against Memphis’ Zach Randolph during the first half of Monday night’s game in Memphis. Bryant finished with 44 points and passed Jerry West as the Lakers’ all-time career leading scorer, but the Grizzlies posted a 95-93 win.

Bryant gets Lakers’ mark, but Grizzlies bag win

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) – Kobe Bryant got the Los Angeles Lakers’ franchise scoring record, but the Memphis Grizzlies spoiled the celebration. Bryant scored 44 points, passing Jerry West as the Lakers’ career scorer, but it wasn’t enough as the Grizzlies got 22 points and 17 rebounds from Zach Randolph to defeat the Lakers 95-93 on Monday night. “It’s a great honor to say the least (because) of the great players that have played here and the tradition we have,” Bryant said of becoming the Lakers’ career leading scorer. “(West) taught me so much when I was 17 years old. He showed me a lot about the game, the jump shot and spin moves and all the others. “Even though it’s me passing him in the record books, it’s still us, and it’s still Magic and all the other great players.” While the focus was on Bryant and the Lakers’ record, Memphis held on for the victory. Rudy Gay led the Grizzlies with 25 points, and his 3-pointer with 29.5 seconds left helped Memphis end its two-game losing streak.

“I was open and Marc (Gasol) gave me a good pass, and I made the shot,” said Gay, who was 10 of 19 from the field. “You know I’ve never been reluctant to shoot at the end of the game.” The basket was just enough for Memphis to escape with the win after holding 11-point leads in both halves. Ron Artest’s 3-point attempt from the right side bounced high off the rim as the horn sounded, snapping the Lakers’ four-game winning streak. “I thought it was good,” Artest said of the last shot, adding: “Obviously, if there was more time, you would head-fake and do something else. I thought it was about to drop in too. I thought it had a chance.” Bryant actually had the ball for the last possession, and as he has done many times before, seemed set to carry the Lakers to victory. But Bryant had to give up the ball as the clock wound down and Memphis defenders surrounded him. “They had like three guys (on me),” Bryant said. “Ron was wide open in the corner. I’ll

take that look any time. It just went a little long.” Bryant passed West’s mark on a breakaway dunk in the third quarter. Bryant made 16 of 28 shots, including 4 of 7 outside the arc. Artest added 18 points, while Pau Gasol had 10 points. Lester Hudson had 13 points for Memphis, and Marc Gasol finished with 11 points and 13 rebounds for Memphis. While Bryant got the franchise record for scoring, the loss prevented Lakers coach Phil Jackson from passing Pat Riley as the winningest coach in regular-season games for Los Angeles. The two are tied at 533. The game was tied at 88, when Memphis ran the shot clock to near the end before Randolph made a 22-footer for a 90-88 lead with 1:08 left. His two free throws extended the lead to 92-88. Bryant scored on a drive before Gay’s 3-pointer gave Memphis a 95-90 lead, and the Grizzlies held on. Memphis got an unexpected offensive boost from Hudson, the rookie shooting guard who was picked up Jan. 8 off waivers from the Celtics.

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) – One day into February, the struggling Edmonton Oilers eclipsed their win total for January. Marc Pouliot and J.F. Jacques had a goal and an assist each, and the Oilers ended a 13-game losing streak by beating the Carolina Hurricanes 4-2 late Monday night. Gilbert Brule and Sam Gagner also scored for the Oilers, who went 011-2 in their previous 13 games. Edmonton was one loss shy of tying the franchise-worst winless streak of 14 games (0-104), set in 1993. “It’s obviously a great feeling,” Gagner said. “You never want to be in that situation. But it was great to have fun again. It’s only one win. Hopefully it gives us some confidence.” The Oilers have just two victories in 22 games and are five points behind Carolina and Toronto for last place in the NHL. Edmonton hadn’t won since beating Toronto at home on Dec. 30. Andrew Alberts and Jussi Jokinen scored for the Hurricanes (1929-7), who had won four in a row and five of six before Monday. “It wasn’t a pretty game to watch from either side,” Carolina coach Paul Maurice said. “The puck was bouncing around a bit out there. I thought we were a bit sluggish out of the gate.

Cavs sign guard Jackson to 10-day contract

CLEVELAND (AP) – The Cleveland Cavaliers have signed point guard Cedric Jackson to a second 10-day contract. Jackson, a former Cleveland State standout, signed his first 10-day deal with the Cavs on

Jan. 23 after the club lost guards Mo Williams and Delonte West in consecutive games with injuries. Jackson has played in four games. Williams has missed six games with a sprained

shoulder and West will miss his sixth game Tuesday night with a broken left ring finger. Williams was expected to be sidelined at least one month. There is no timetable for West to return.

BNY Mellon to buy PNC Financial division

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Bank of New York Mellon Corp. said Tuesday it is acquiring the global investment servicing business of PNC Financial Services Group Inc. for $2.31 billion in cash. By buying the Wilmington, Del., business, BNY Mellon said it will add $855 billion in assets under administration and become the secondlargest provider of fund accounting, administration and transfer agency services. The business being acquired is known as Global Investment Servicing Inc., and it provides asset mangers and financial advisors with services such

as custody, transfers and fund accounting. “It’s one of those rare situations where it actually was complimentary to three of our business lines,” said Robert P. Kelly, BNY Mellon chairman and chief executive officer, said in an interview with The Associated Press. “Strategically it makes since, and financially it’s very attractive.” BNY Mellon says it will pay $1.57 billion for the business’ stock and intercompany debt. It will raise $800 million in equity as part of the deal. The allcash acquisition, which will boost BNY Mellon’s profit in the first year, is expected to close in the

third quarter, pending approval by regulators. PNC said it expects to report an after-tax gain of about $500 million and an increase in its Tier 1 capital level, a key measure of financial strength, by $1.6 billion. As a result, PNC’s Tier 1 common capital ratio as of Dec. 31 would be raised by 0.7 percentage points to an estimated 6.7 percent. “Given the changing competitive landscape in the investment servicing industry, we believe this is the proper time to sell the business to capture the full value of PNC Global Investment Servicing,” James E. Rohr, PNC chairman and chief execu-

tive officer of PNC, said in a statement. “The capital generated from this transaction will position PNC with further flexibility.” PNC was among the better regional bank performers during the financial crisis, buying struggling rival National City Corp. in a 2008 deal that made the Pittsburgh-based bank the nation’s fifth-largest by assets. PNC received government bailout funds to help assist with the National City deal. The sale of Global Investment Servicing Inc. could help the bank pay back some of the $7.6 billion in bailout funds. PNC’s Rohr has made repayment a goal for 2010.

Geithner: Economy better than a year ago

WASHINGTON – Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner says the nation’s economy is stronger than it was a year ago, yet the government must continue to act to stimulate job growth. Geithner told the Senate Finance Committee Tuesday that the Obama administration is trying to balance the desire to add jobs with the need to rein in ballooning budget deficits. President Barack Obama has proposed giving companies a $5,000 tax credit for each new worker they hire in 2010. Businesses that increase wages or hours for their current workers in 2010 would be reimbursed for the extra Social Security payroll taxes they would pay.

Fidelity implements flat-fee commissions

BOSTON – Fidelity Investments on Tuesday undercut its brokerage rivals, reducing its online stock trading commission to a flat fee of $7.95, four weeks after Charles Schwab Corp. cut its price to $8.95. Fidelity’s flat fee replaces a tiered structure that had charged customers as much as $19.95 per trade to as little as $8 depending on asset levels and how many online trades a customer made.

Oil rises on positive economic reports

NEW YORK – Oil surged ahead for the second straight day on Tuesday as prices that were sliding lower for two weeks abruptly switched direction on economic reports that suggest demand for crude could improve. Benchmark crude for March delivery rose $2.02 to $76.45 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

A 2010 Taurus sedan sits at a Ford dealership in Lakewood, Colo., in this December photograph.

Ford sales jump in January DETROIT (AP) — Ford Motor Co.’s sales rose 25 percent in January, buoyed by a stronger economy and Toyota Motor Corp.’s decision to halt U.S. sales of eight popular models because of faulty gas pedal systems. Ford said Tuesday car sales rose 43 percent while sales of trucks and SUVs climbed 15 percent. The automaker also more than doubled sales to rental car agencies and other fleets as the credit crunch eased and businesses started spending again.

January is typically a weak month for U.S. auto sales, but automakers were expecting sales to improve over last January, when they dipped to a 26-year low because of the tough economy. Sales never really recovered last year, totaling 10.4 million cars and light trucks, the lowest since 1982. Korean automaker Kia said its January U.S. sales were essentially flat. Other automakers, including Toyota, were scheduled to report results later Tuesday.

Ford was expecting to snatch some sales from Toyota, which stopped selling the Camry sedan and seven other cars and trucks on Jan. 26 following a recall over sticky accelerator pedals. Ford and General Motors Corp. are offering incentives to Toyota drivers who trade in vehicles. Toyota has said dealers will get the parts to fix the problem by the end of this week, but in the meantime Toyota could lose thousands of sales in January and February.

Contracts to buy homes edge upward MIAMI (AP) — The number of people preparing to buy a home rose slightly in December, a positive sign heading into the spring home buying season. The National Association of Realtors said Tuesday its seasonally adjusted index of sales agreements rose 1 percent from November to December to a reading of 96.6. That was a bit lower than the 97.1 level analysts expected,

according to Thomson Reuters. The index has risen for nine out of the past 10 months as buyers work to take advantage of an $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit. The credit had been set to expire Nov. 30 before Congress extended it to April 30. Lawmakers also added a $6,500 credit for current homeowners.

The pending home sales index fell 16 percent from October to November, as activity temporarily died down after the first-time buyer credit was extended. The index is up nearly 11 percent from December 2008. “These swings are masking the underlying trend, which is a broad improvement over year-ago levels,” said Lawrence Yun, the Realtors’ group chief economist.

Housing report boosts stocks NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Signs of strength in the housing market pushed the Dow Jones industrial average to its second straight gain of more than 100 points. An increase in the number of people with contracts to buy homes and the first profit at home-

builder D.R. Horton in three years raised hopes that one of the most stubborn weak spots in the economy is improving. The Dow rose 111.32, or 1.1 percent, to 10,296.85, boosting its two-day gain to 230 points and extending a recovery from a slide in January.

The S&P 500 index rose 14.13, or 1.3 percent, to 1,103.32, while Nasdaq composite index advanced 18.86, or 0.9 percent, to 2,190.06. The National Association of Realtors, a trade group, said its index of sale contracts rose 1 percent in December.

UPS profit nearly triples

ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; UPS is seeing more people using cell phones to buy and ship goods over the Internet, a greater number of customers paying for premium services like nextday air and businesses beefing up operations overseas. That resulted in a fourth-quarter profit of $757 million, nearly triple

the amount from a year earlier. The only blemish was UPSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money-losing freight business, which ships larger items such as gym equipment, grand pianos and automobiles. The worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest shipping carrier continues to position itself for an economic rebound, albeit a gradual one. UPS will again this year spend

less money than it has historically on things like equipment, airplanes and trucks. It also is cutting jobs. Although, UPS said Tuesday it has enough money to give raises to managers. The company forecast 2010 earnings within a range thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consistent with Wall Street expectations.

LaHood: Toyota slow to respond

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood says Toyota was slow to realize safety problems with its gas pedals that has led to the recall of millions of popular Toyota brands. LaHood tells The Associated Press that Toyota was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a little safety deafâ&#x20AC;?

and that federal safety officials needed to â&#x20AC;&#x153;wake them upâ&#x20AC;? to the seriousness of the pedal problems. LaHood says the Toyota case is one of most pressing safety issues he has faced as secretary. Toyota has recalled 2.3 million vehicles due to

concerns over gas pedals that can stick when drivers step on the gas. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in addition to millions more the company has recalled over problems with pedals catching on floor mats. The company says it is sending parts for a fix to dealers.

Hocking College President Ron Erickson (right) his wife, Nancy, and their dog, Molly, sit for an interview about moving into a residence hall on Hockingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campus in Nelsonville, Ohio.

Ohio college president stays in dorm where threat found NELSONVILLE, Ohio (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Instructors lectured to classrooms peppered with empty seats at an Ohio technical college where graffiti had warned that black students would die Tuesday, as the school president sought to reassure students by camping out in the dorm where the threat was scrawled. The message led at least two black students to withdraw from school and caused others to move out of the dorm where it was found more than a week ago. Campus police and the

FBI have been investigating but havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t identified who was responsible for the threat, written on the wall of a menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bathroom. President Ron Erickson and his wife moved into the Hocking Heights dorm, where the threat was discovered, over the weekend and remained there Tuesday, school spokeswoman Judy Sinnott said. Student Alexis Loomis, 20, of Niles, said the couple, with their dog in tow, â&#x20AC;&#x153;seemed to be having a good time.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It kind of shows the students that he feels

that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe in there, which I think it is,â&#x20AC;? said Loomis, a third-year student majoring in wilderness horsemanship. Erickson, who was not made available for comment Tuesday, had pledged better security, police and counselors as the threat loomed over the campus of the two-year college tucked into a forest in the Appalachian foothills of southwestern Ohio. No obvious extra police presence was evident Tuesday, but two State Highway Patrol cruisers sat outside campus police headquarters.
