ENOUGH ALREADY More misery on the way as new storm approaches BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

The Carolinian pulls into the High Point depot as passengers wait to board. The train, which normally runs to New York, now runs only as far north as Raleigh because of heavy snow in the North.

TRIAD – The first time it snowed – just before Christmas – many people in the High Point area found it charming. The second time it snowed heavily a couple of weeks ago, some of the charm disappeared as people traversed treacherous roads and shoveled snow-covered walkways. Then after last week’s storm, the novelty was beginning to rub off entirely. Now, as a fourth winter weather system is set to arrive this morning in the Triad, many people may find it just plain annoying. Winters in the High Point area that usually involve several dustings of snow, or sometimes no snow at all, have turned into a winter approaching a season up north. High Point has recorded 11.9 inches of snow so far

City eyes sewer plant expansion BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – City leaders have given the go-ahead for the next phase of a major infrastructure improvement project. The High Point City Council recently approved an amendment in the amount of $1,028,300 to the city’s contract with Raleigh-based engineering consultant Hazen & Sawyer for preliminary work related to the third and final phase of improvements to the Westside Wastewater Treatment Plant. The work will entail design, permitting and bidding services for the up-

–

Current estimates for the cost of the phase three expansion of the Westside Wastewater Treatment Plant are about $33 million. The city is funding the upgrades at the plant through revenue bonds, which are supported by water and sewer system revenues. The first phase of improvements to the plant focused on odor control. The $8.98 million phase two is under way and involves upgrading the treatment system so it will meet stricter state permit requirements.

coming phase, which will provide for expansion of the plant. The state has approved an increase in the plant’s wastewater treatment capacity from 6.2 million gallons per day to 8.2 million gallons per day.

The city ultimately plans to expand the capacity to 10 million gallons per day. The goal of the expansion is to accommodate 20 years worth of future development in the area served by the plant, officials said.

“The benefits are not only the extra capacity, but we’ll also be going to a new treatment procedure,” said High Point’s Public Services Director Chris Thompson. “We’re looking at an impaired High Rock Lake, and we know future permits will be more stringent.” The expansion will allow for the possibility of future growth as the economy picks up and development starts again, according to Assistant City Manager Pat Pate. “It sets us up so the capacity will be there when it is needed,” he said. In addition to the expansion, the phase three im-

provements will include stream restoration for a stretch of Rich Fork Creek below the plant. New treatment procedures being implemented will entail the same type of biological nutrient removal process that is in place at the city’s Eastside Wastewater Treatment Plant. Officials hope to have the design and bid process complete for phase three by the end of 2010. The city also will have to get approval for the expansion from the Davidson County Board of Commissioners, since the plant is located in that county.

Prius recall at 300,000. 5D

To contact a dealership: • Vann York Toyota Scion dealership: 885-9016 • Modern Toyota: 7853100

BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – It isn’t that the replacement parts aren’t arriving at Vann York Toyota Scion since Toyota issued a nationwide recall last month. It’s just that they’re arriving slowly and in smaller quantities than some would like. “We are receiving a little of these parts on a daily basis,” said Steve Byrd, service manager at the Toyota dealership on Eastchester Drive. “Unfortunately, it’s like Murphy’s law is kicking in here. The actual parts I’m using the most aren’t the ones I’m getting in inventory.” Different car models will require different replacement parts, called shims, to fix the sticking accelerator pedals that prompted

Kevin Coon, a mechanic at Vann York Toyota, holds a gas pedal and several shims, one of which will fit into the pedal to fix the problem. the recall, Byrd said. In some cases, the same models will require different sizes of the parts. “Sometimes you’ll have two cars that are identical, yet the bar (shim) that is needed for the accelerator pedal is different from the

one beside of it,” he said. “It hasn’t put us behind necessarily, and we are getting them on a daily basis. We just aren’t getting a lot of the parts of the most popular size.” The carmaker announced it would send a

notification letter to drivers who own one of the recalled vehicles, but Byrd said the dealership already had compiled a list of motorists in the area who have called with concerns about their cars. Because dealerships have said that it’s still OK to drive the cars unless a noticeable problem occurs, Byrd continues to add names to the list. Each customer will be serviced on an appointment-only basis when more parts arrive. On average, it takes about 45 minutes to install the replacement shim, said Kerry Mitchell, general sales manager at Modern Toyota in Winston-Salem.

Mitchell said the dealership had plenty of parts so far, but certain models also required a re-configuration process that could take up to three hours. There are some cases Byrd refers to as “heat cases” where the Vann York dealership will replace the shim on a Toyota immediately. “We’ve had some people who have recently purchased their vehicles and aren’t comfortable enough to know if their vehicle is safe or not yet,” he said. “We also have some friends and family concerned about their loved ones driving one of the cars. If a daughter or son is concerned about their mother driving the car, or if there’s a young mother who has a baby and is concerned about her car – we put that in the heat case category.

The weather pattern that brought the series of storms to the area should continue through the winter, said Smith and Mike Pigott, meteorologist with AccuWeather. “This is a very El Ninolike pattern, with the jet stream further south. Storms that would have cut through the Great Lakes are cutting further south,” Pigott said. Smith and Pigott said the El Nino-driven pattern shows no signs of changing through the end of winter. “We’re in a pattern where we get these systems coming up from the southwest from the Gulf (of Mexico), and they bring quite a bit of moisture with them. Then you have this fine line between the cold air and warm air being in place when they arrive,” Smith said.

Today’s winter storm shouldn’t be as severe as the previous ones, said Barrett Smith, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Raleigh. A mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain should arrive in the area around sunrise, Smith said Monday afternoon, but the precipitation should change by mid-morning to cold rain as temperatures rise above freezing. “There should be a brief couple of hours there where we could see a mix.

Bus plunges down ravine in China; 7 dead BEIJING – A bus collided with a sport utility vehicle Monday and plunged down a mountain ravine in southern China, killing seven people and injuring 50, state media reported. At least 53 people were on the bus, which was traveling on a highway in the Guangxi region, when it rolled down the 320-foot- deep ravine, the official Xinhua News Agency said, citing police in Hechi city.

Militants targeting Americans arrested LAHORE, Pakistan – Authorities arrested six suspected Taliban militants with a suicide vest and hand grenades allegedly on their way Monday to attack a five-star hotel and kill Americans in Pakistan’s cultural capital, said police. The eastern city of Lahore has suffered a spate of bombings at markets and security installations in recent years as the Taliban have expanded attacks beyond their main sanctuary in the northwest.

Report: Alligator kills 11-year-old girl in Brazil SAO PAULO – A 13-foot (4-meter) alligator has reportedly attacked and killed a girl who was swimming in a Brazilian jungle river. Firefighters tell local media that 11-year-old Gigliane do Nascimento Bira was playing with friends in shallow water in the northern state of Rondonia, in the Amazon region.

Mexican troops find 12 tons of pot TIJUANA, Mexico – Mexican soldiers have seized more than 12 tons of marijuana found beneath a false floor of a tractor trailer. A military statement issued Monday says soldiers discovered the drugs during a routine search at a checkpoint near San Felipe, a town in the central part of the Baja California peninsula.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) – Survivors of Haiti’s catastrophic earthquake have had one saving grace: There’s been no significant rain since the disaster. But that won’t last. The rainy season in Haiti is deadly even in a good year. Now, the early spring rains threaten to cause landslides and bring about health problems in the makeshift AP camps where more than U.N. peacekeepers stand guard atop of an armored vehicle as women carry bags of 500,000 people are living. Rain is already falling rice received during a food distribution operation in Port-au-Prince, Monday. in some parts of the coun-

Iran draws closer to nuke warhead capacity VIENNA (AP) – Iran pressed ahead Monday with plans that will increase its ability to make nuclear weapons as it formally informed the U.N. nuclear agency of its intention to enrich uranium to higher levels. Alarmed world powers questioned the rationale behind the move and warned the country it could face more U.N. sanctions if it made good on its intentions. Iran maintains its nuclear activities are peaceful, and an envoy insisted the move was meant only to provide

fuel for Tehran’s research reactor. But world powers fearing that Iran’s enrichment program might be a cover for a weapons program were critical. Britain said the Islamic Republic’s reason for further enrichment made no sense because it is not technically advanced enough to turn the resulting material into the fuel rods needed for the reactor. France and the U.S. said the latest Iranian move left no choice but to push harder for more U.N. sanctions to punish Iran’s nuclear defiance.

Yanukovych winner in Ukraine KIEV, Ukraine (AP) – International monitors on Monday hailed Ukraine’s presidential election as transparent and honest, bolstering opposition leader Viktor Yanukovych’s claim of

victory and leaving Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko in a strategic bind. Tymoshenko, who was the charismatic catalyst of the 2004 Orange Revolution mass protests, issued no protest call on Monday.

try, but Haiti’s shattered capital has been spared so far – a rarity for this time of year, when afternoon showers are common. Steady rains could come as soon as the end of the month, and hurricane season begins in June. Workers are racing to move victims outside of floodplains and into tents and are trying to clear tons of debris from ravines, canals and riverbeds, so rain does not turn the survivors’ encampments into breeding grounds for disease.

JULIE FOX: Where’s a little global warming when you really need it? TOMORROW

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

4A

Stem pollution, stimulate economy at same time Global warming? Free trade? It’s recently occurred to me that the United States can improve on the global pollution problem and stimulate our economy at the same time. It is a fact that we do a better job of reducing pollution from manufacturing than the countries on the other side of the Pacific. Think back to the Olympics when China shut down all the factories around Beijing and the smog was still so heavy it was hard to see more than a mile or so. India and other developing countries in that area are at least as bad. We all know that emission controls were pioneered by the United States. In 1968, we were the only country in the world that was putting emission controls on cars as well as manufacturing facilities; somehow we seem to have forgotten that the United States pioneered the concept of environmentalism. The United States is the world’s biggest consumer, but nobody mentions that the products we are consuming are manufactured in counties that have the worst environmental records in the world and that the carbon footprints of those countries have burgeoned as we’ve increased our level of trade with them. I suggest we put tariffs on all goods that are made in factories that do not meet our U.S. standards. Those same goods could be made here with much less damage to the environment.

YOUR VIEW

Imported goods are often cheaper than domestic goods only because they’re manufactured without environmental constraints. Free trade is creating an environmental nightmare in Asia while wreaking havoc on our economy. Only importing environmentally sound products would put our population back to work while cleaning up the world’s environment. DICK JONES Wallburg

It is estimated that around 1 million people are living with HIV/AIDS in the United States. The HIV virus attacks the healthy cells in your body. HIV medications work to stop this process and can even make the disease undetectable in your blood. These medications slow the progress of the disease and allow people to live much longer, healthier lives. While there is no cure for HIV, it is a manageable disease. Without a cure, our

I hope this network nor NBC airs the biggest day in football ever again. On the scale of class, we gave it a minus 10!

y his own admission, Davidson County Sheriff David Grice placed fliers soliciting help for his upcoming re-election bid in the mailboxes of deputies in the sheriff’s office. And in doing so, Grice may have violated general statutes that regulate political activity by county employees. Deputies’ mailboxes probably qualify as county property that is off-limits for political use, an attorney for the N.C . Press Association told the Enterprise. So Grice well may have broken this rule, although it isn’t a criminal offense. Grice said he didn’t realize placing fliers in the mailboxes constituted a violation because other announcements of interest to deputies often are funneled through the mailboxes. We’ll accept that explanation. However, we’ll also note that Grice should have known the rules about these matters, or at least thought to check them, before acting to solicit political help. We doubt this is the first time a sheriff in Davidson County or anywhere else has ever broken – whether unknowingly or knowingly – such regulations about political activity. Although Grice’s mistake was not an egregious one, we encourage him to avoid it happening again. We also suggest that he make sure he and his staff become thoroughly familiar with all election regulations and be vigilant in upholding them. The Davidson County sheriff’s race this year is going to be one to watch, particularly the Republican Party primary. Former Sheriff Gerald Hege, Terry Price and Edgar Shuler have announced intentions to challenge Grice in the GOP primary. Shuler, of Thomasville, is a former lieutenant with the sheriff’s office who says he was fired by Grice a few weeks ago because Grice learned of his intention to run for sheriff. (Grice would not discuss that matter with the Enterprise, citing state laws governing the privacy of personnel matters.) Such an allegation only adds to the interest – and possible animosity – that this year’s sheriff’s race will generate. The voters of Davidson County have a lot to think about during the next few months.

If that makes me one of the world’s worst ... fine

I

was tucking my sons in bed a few nights ago when MSNBC commentator Keith Olbermann named me as one of the worst people in the world. When a left-wing friend later informed me of the honor, I admit to being a bit underwhelmed. Since Olbermann hands out the honorific frequently, and presumably doesn’t want to bore his audience by naming Dick Cheney every night, it was only a matter of time before he got to me. Plus, I’ve seen MSNBC’s ratings so I figured it was statistically unlikely that I’d meet very many people who had actually watched the show. So I just went to bed. But it turns out that being named one of the worst people in the world comes with responsibilities that aren’t easy to shirk. There are character flaws to be hidden, prejudices to be denied and conspiracies to be explained away. Still, it’s pretty silly to ascribe made-up beliefs and attitudes to individuals who write and speak for a living. In my case, there are literally tens of thousands of columns, blog posts, audio files and TV snippets freely available on the Web to anyone who might wonder what I think. But I’ll offer the following as a handy time-saver: I hold it to be self-evident that all persons are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; and that among these are life, liberty, the enjoyment of the fruits of their own labor, and the pursuit of happiness. Sound familiar? It should. This is a direct quote from the North Carolina Constitution. With a couple of small differences,

of course, the passage also appears near the beginning of America’s founding document, the Declaration of Independence. That language was, in turn, lifted with just a few other alterations from a famous OPINION passage in Two Treatises of Government by, as it hapJohn pens, an English chap named Hood John Locke. ■■■ To say we are all created equal is not to say that we are indistinguishable. What the phrase really means is that, whatever our differences of status or wealth, we all enjoy equal rights under the law. And what are those rights? They include the right to own ourselves and our decisions (life and liberty), to acquire property by mixing our labor with natural resources (the fruits of our labors), and to acquire property by voluntary exchange with other people (the pursuit of happiness). To say I have the right to pursue happiness is not, of course, to say that I have a right to force you to make me happy. I don’t have a right to force you to give me food, clothing, shelter or health care. I can ask. I can offer something you value in exchange. When the Left tries to misuse the concept of rights to justify theft, I snort. If that makes me one of the worst people in the world in the eyes of a few deluded nincompoops, fine. I’ll just wish them a speedy recovery and go play with my kids. JOHN HOOD is president of the John Locke Foundation and publisher of CarolinaJournal.com.

GOP cool to call for two-party health talks

AP

Michael Rosario, business representative for the Plumbers, Pipefitters, & HVAC Local 777, hugs a friend Monday after telling reporters about losing three friends in the explosion at the Kleen Energy plant on Sunday in Middletown, Conn.

Criminal probe launched in plant explosion MIDDLETOWN, Conn. (AP) – Authorities looking for the cause of an explosion that killed five people at a power plant under construction launched a criminal investigation Monday, saying they could not rule out criminal negligence. “If everything went right, we wouldn’t all be here right now,� Middletown Mayor Sebastian Guiliano said. “There’s a point where negligence raises to the level of criminal conduct, and that’s what we’re investigating.� The explosion blew apart large swaths of the nearly completed 620-megawatt Kleen Energy plant as workers for the construction company O&G Industries Inc. were purging a gas line Sunday

morning. The blast tore apart sheet metal that covered the plant’s sides and left parts of the complex so unstable that rescuers were unable to work Monday. The mayor said rescue crews had been unable to get to all areas of the plant and he could not say for certain that no more victims would be found. But authorities also said every worker who was assigned to work at the plant at the time of the explosion was accounted for. The men who died were identified as Peter Chetulis of Thomaston, Conn.; Ronald J. Crabb of Colchester, Conn.; Raymond Dobratz of Old Saybrook, Conn.; Chris Walters of Florissant, Mo.; and Roy Rushton of Hamilton, Ontario.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Republicans gave a chilly reception Monday to President Barack Obama’s invitation to discuss health care in a bipartisan, televised setting later this month, part of the White House effort to revive the stalled legislation. The House and Senate GOP leaders Obama said Obama and his fellow Democrats must shelve their longdebated health care bill, which was on the verge of becoming law until Republican Scott Brown won a special Senate election in Massachusetts last month. The White House says Obama has no plans to do so but is willing to hear Republicans’ ideas. Rep. Darrell Issa of California, the top Republican on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, said the first question for Obama should be: “Did you lie about moving forward on malpractice reform?� He was alluding to the president’s earlier remarks about possibly curbing malpractice lawsuits, which is not included in the health bills passed separately by House and Senate Democrats in December.

Sarah Palin addresses attendees at the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville on Saturday.

Palin tells ‘tea party’: It’s revolution time NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Sarah Palin declared “America is ready for another revolution� and assailed President Barack Obama on Saturday before adoring “tea party� activists. They make up a seemingly natural constituency should she run for president. “This movement is about the people,� the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee said as the crowd roared. “Government is supposed to be

working for the people.� Palin noted Democrats’ electoral losses since Obama took office a year ago with talk of hope and promises of change and asked: “How’s that hopey, change-y stuff workin’ out for you?� Her audience waved flags and erupted in cheers during multiple standing ovations as Palin gave the keynote address at the first national convention of the “tea party� coalition.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said the administration will seek changes when Congress overhauls the Childhood Nutrition Act. “Our children deserve better nutrition, and our country’s better and brighter future depends on it,� Vilsack said.

Rail crossing at Grimes Avenue to close

WHO’S NEWS

----

BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The next step in a project involving several city railroad crossings is set for later this month. Norfolk Southern permanently will close the crossing on W. Grimes Avenue Feb. 18. The crossing, near the intersection with W. Green Drive, was recommended to be closed in a 2002 study. City officials said they don’t expect the closure to have a significant impact on vehicle traffic in the area because it’s not heavily traveled and other improvements, including reopening Taylor Avenue at W. Green Drive, will be made. “There’s very little traffic that uses that crossing that’s not localized there,” said city Transportation Director Mark McDonald. “There will be some other minor street improvements

‘There’s very little traffic that uses that crossing that’s not localized there.’ Mark McDonald High Point transportation director made throughout the area to kind of facilitate the flow of traffic in that industrial area.” Improvements have been made at the West Point Avenue crossing and work is getting under way on the reconnection of Taylor Avenue to W. Green Drive just south of the Grimes Avenue closure. There also are plans to make improvements at the Prospect Street railroad crossing just off English Road. The study also recommended closing the Taylor Avenue railroad crossing, which will follow the Grimes closure. The closings and improvements are part of an agreement approved by the City Council in 2005 between the city and the N.C. Department of Transportation Rail Division. Funding for the approximately $434,000 project is coming from the DOT Rail Division’s Transportation Improvement Program. More work remains to be done on an additional project in the study – lowering the roadway under the W. Ward Avenue underpass. Clearance at the underpass has been deemed substandard and does not allow some tractor-trailer rigs to pass beneath it. The railroad company has raised the bridge, and plans call for crews to lower the road, add curbing and gutters, and make other improvements to the roadway in the vicinity of the bridge. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Rep. John Murtha, Iraq war critic, dies HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – Rep. John Murtha, the tall, gruff-mannered former Marine who became the de facto voice of veterans on Capitol Hill and later an outspoken and influential critic of the Iraq war, died Monday. He was 77. The Pennsylvania Democrat had been suffering complications from gallbladder surgery. He died at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, Va., the hospital said. In 1974 Murtha, then an officer in the Marine Reserves, became the first Vietnam War combat veteran elected to Congress. Ethical questions often shadowed his congressional service, but he wielded considerable clout for two decades.

Frank Griffin and his wife Loretta of Asheville laugh during a news conference in Raleigh Monday after claiming their Powerball jackpot winnings of $141 million.

Retired firefighter claims $47 million jackpot RALEIGH (AP) – Retired Asheville Fire Department employee Frank Griffin is $47 million richer, but he has few grand plans for the money. He mainly wants to spend more time with his wife. “I may get us a new house later, but I really want to spend more time with her and my grandchildren,� Griffin said Monday at a news conference where he was introduced as the sole winner of the $141 million Powerball lottery jackpot. Griffin choose the $69 million cash over the $141 million annuity. That equals about $47 million after

state and federal taxes are paid, said Tom Shaheen, executive director of the North Carolina Education Lottery. Griffin, 66, said he had $5 left over after buying gas Saturday so he bought five tickets, letting the machine choose his numbers and he was unaware of the total jackpot. A friend, identified only as Larry, said, “you ain’t going to win that,� Griffin recalled. But at 8:30 a.m. Sunday, Griffin woke up his wife, 65-year-old Loretta, with the news that he thought they had won the lottery.

He returned to store to make sure the ticket was legitimate. He plans to use the money to take care of his family and to travel with his wife to Hawaii. He also plans to play more golf and to help his church, Crossroads Assembly in Asheville. When asked how their lives would change after winning the money, Griffin replied: “It won’t change that much.� Loretta Griffin made a face, indicating her disagreement. Later, she said she thought the money would make their lives easier. “We just won’t have to worry about bills,� she said.

Charges dropped against Lincoln County sheriff misdemeanor of making a false report to another officer. The judge refused to delay the case so they dropped the charges. The State Bureau of Investigation reported Daugherty gave conflicting statements and

evidence about learning his former chief deputy helped a local doctor avoid a DWI charge in 2007. The former chief deputy was convicted of misdemeanor obstruction of justice and fired.

ear Abby: “49 and Holding� (Dec. 5), who doesn’t want her daughter to give her a 50th birthday party, needs to grow up and learn to celebrate life instead of hiding from the fact that she’s growing older. She is aging because she’s alive – and what a blessing that is. I lived through the worst years of the AIDS epidemic and witnessed the deaths of more than 200 friends – all of whom would have loved to celebrate a 50th birthday. My mother died at 82 and was grateful for every year, as am I. Life’s milestones warrant a party. Those who don’t want to celebrate life and the birthdays that come with it should consider the alternative. – Bruce C., Atlanta Dear Bruce: My readers agreed that “Holding� should quit whining and enjoy life because everyone isn’t so fortunate. Growing old is a gift, and it sure does beat the alternative! Read on: Dear Abby: Sorry, 50 is NOT the new 30. Fifty is 50! One of the reasons “Holding� may have issues with aging is this obsession with youth. Youth is definitely transitory, but that doesn’t mean one’s health, beauty and vibrancy vanish. “Holding� has every right to feel as she does, but I hope she won’t continue sitting on the sidelines of life.

You definitely DO get better as you age! – Jacqueline W., Chandler, Ariz. Dear Abby: I admit that I felt much as “Holding� did until my sister told me that, for her, turning 50 was an exceptionally freeing experience. It’s true. At that age, I realized I wasn’t going to be the CEO of the company I worked for, that I had a job I enjoyed, that my family was there for me in whatever I chose to pursue, and that there were places on this planet I wanted to visit (and have). I have found it difficult finding a downside to being 50. Age is in your head, Abby. I’ve met 10-yearolds who are eons past 50, and 70-year-olds who are as curious, inquisitive and active as people far younger. So I say, go for it proudly. – Past 50 And Fabulous Dear Abby: Everyone regards aging differently, but why be depressed over something you can’t control? When I turned 50, I decided I

could either be depressed and drink myself silly or celebrate the milestone. I declared to my family, friends and co-workers that it was my year and my goal was to do 50 things I had never done before – or hadn’t done in a long time. I reconnected with neglected friends, went on my first cruise, stayed in a haunted hotel. While I didn’t quite make it to 50 things (I made it to 30), it was fun trying, and everyone had a blast in the process. – 50-plus And Dealing With It Dear Abby: At 36 I was diagnosed with cancer. My son was only 5. As radiation treatments pulsed through my body in the hope of giving me more life, I wondered if those would be his last memories of me. Fast forward 13 years. I am 49 and holding – with one major difference. I look forward to each and every birthday. In a few months, I’ll turn 50. And do you know what looks even better than my 50th birthday? My 60th! Birthdays are a celebration of life, a reminder that we have the good fortune to be with the people who mean the most to us. – Thankful For Each And Every Day DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

RALEIGH (AP) – The head of North Carolina’s Republican Party said Monday that two top aides to Gov. Beverly Perdue should resign their positions or be fired over poor performance.

Mike Easley ordered e-mail messages deleted to prevent them from becoming public, North Carolina GOP Chairman Tom Fetzer said. Young was Easley’s chief legal adviser.

arch Madness is right around the corner, and basketball courts are filling with players and leagues of all types. Few people play basketball without having an injury. Basketball injuries are responsible for the highest percentage of emergency room visits. Coaches and players should be aware that even though the total number of injuries occurs most often during practices, the actual rate of injury is higher during games. Rebounding is the most dangerous activity, accounting for 25 to 30 percent of all injuries, followed by defending, then dribbling and shooting. Both males and females are most likely to injure the ankle/foot, followed by the knee and then the head/face. Females are more likely to have concussions and require surgery for knee injuries than males, but males are more likely to have facial injuries that require surgery. What can we do to prevent the most injuries? During preseason the emphasis should be on conditioning, with a gradual increase in intensity and duration. Cross-training can help reduce the risk of developing overuse injuries,and a thorough warm-up and stretching period is absolutely necessary before practice and following any prolonged breaks. The length of practices is usually longer in the preseason, providing more opportunity for accidents and injuries to occur, especially when the players become fatigued and lose concentration. Look for signs of excessive fatigue, and utilize drills that minimize player-player contact when athletes are tired. Simply building in appropriate recovery periods and insisting on frequent hydration (drinking water) are easy ways to promote player safety. During games, players naturally play at a higher level of intensity. Close supervision and officiating is vital to ensure players’ safety. Research shows the combination of preventive ankle taping and use of high-top shoes can lower the risk for ankle sprains, the most common injury in basketball. Injuries can never be 100 percent eliminated from any sport. Prepare your body, stay hydrated, stretch before and after, play smart and have fun. The only time we want to be on the sofa instead of playing is if our favorite team is in the Final Four.

to salt to prevent them. I don’t see as many goiters now. Will this low-salt diet cause me to get one? I would rather have high blood pressure. – W.W. A goiter is an enlarged thyroid gland, and many different illnesses cause it. It can be seen as a bulge in the lower neck. Iodine deficiency is one cause. In the 1920s, iodine was added to salt to provide a source of this mineral to those who lived in places where the iodine content of soil was low. Once that program was under way, the number of goiters dropped. A low-salt diet still provides you with more than enough iodine to prevent goiter formation. Dear Dr. Donohue: This might not seem like an important question, but it’s important to me. I blink uncontrollably when anything gets near my eyes. I have never been able to get over this. A drop put into my eye causes me to have fluttering lids. Would it be better for me to close my eyes after the drop or to try to keep them opened? – M.L. It’s better for everyone to close the eye gently after putting a drop in it. You don’t have to squeeze the lids tightly. All people who keep the lids apart after instilling a drop blink. Even normal blinks push the medicine off the eye.

Jackson doctor pleads not guilty in singer’s death LOS ANGELES (AP) – Michael Jackson’s doctor has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the death of the pop star. Dr. Conrad Murray, a Houston cardiologist who was with Jackson when he died June 25, entered his plea Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court just hours after he was charged.

“Bell of Hope” was donated to the Cancer Center of High Point Regional Health System.

Final toll for chemo ‘Bell of Hope’ rings joyous notes at High Point Regional BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

H

IGH POINT – After four months of chemotherapy, Tammy Morgan struck a chord for cancer patients all over High Point. Morgan, 42, on Monday rang the new “Bell of Hope” at the Cancer Center of High Point Regional Health System, signaling the completion of her chemo treatments for breast cancer. “That felt good to ring the bell,” Morgan says. “I love the nurses in the chemo room, and I love seeing them, but to have the chemo behind me now is a relief, because it’s really hard to go through.” Morgan, of High Point, was diagnosed with breast cancer in September. She underwent a lumpectomy, followed by six chemo treatments – the final one on Monday. She will also receive radiation treatment. During her chemo treatments, Morgan suffered the usual side effects – loss of hair, mouth blisters, chronic fatigue – which, of course, made the completion of her treatment a cause for celebration. Morgan’s family donated the bell to the Cancer Center after reading about a cancer patient at another medical practice who donated a similar bell to that facility.

“I thought it might be a wonderful idea for the patients at (the Cancer Center) to have the same thing,” explains Doris Rigaud, Morgan’s mother, of Trinity. “I just thought it would be a nice thing for these patients who go through so much to have something to look forward to when they have their final treatment.” The bell is engraved with a verse of Scripture from Psalm 46:10, which reads, “Be still and know that I am God.” In addition to the bell, the family also created a plaque. Morgan, a computer graphic designer for Winner’s Circle Trophies in Thomasville, designed the plaque, and her boss agreed to donate it to the Cancer Center. The plaque features an image of the bell and reads: “Ring this bell, / Three times well, / Its toll to clearly say, / My treatment’s done, / This course is run, / And I am on my way.” The family also donated journals, which will be signed by patients to signify further that they have completed their chemo treatments. “As each patient finishes their chemo and rings the bell, they can also sign the journal and date it as finalization of that chapter,” Rigaud says. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center is the first hospital in the state to earn the Gold Star Standard from N.C. Prevention Partners (NCPP) for providing the highest standard of excellence for tobacco cessation programs offered to employees. NCPP is a leader in reducing preventable illness and early death in North Carolina caused by tobacco use, poor nutrition, physical inactivity and obesity. The organization works with the state’s hospitals and medical centers to enhance tobacco cessation efforts and resources available to all employees and patients. “This award shows our commitment to helping our employees and visitors to be tobaccofree and our support for them to quit if they are tobacco users,” said Bob Parker, vice president of support operations and community health at Wake Forest Baptist. “We’re committed to improving their overall health and quality of life.” To achieve the Gold Star Standard status, Wake Forest Baptist has shown a high level of commitment for its tobacco cessation program. The Medical Center refers its employees to effective quit tobacco counseling, provides comprehensive benefits (nicotine replacement therapy and prescription cessation medications) and offers incentives to encourage employees to quit tobacco use, all of which is done through ActionHealth, the employee health program.

Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Tyson Houseman, 20; David Gallagher, 25; Zhang Ziyi, 31; Mia Farrow, 65 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Look beyond your normal circle or familiar locations and you will find something to help you choose a new path. It’s time to open up and share your plans with people who have an interest and more experience and knowledge. Your adaptability will help you when things get tough. Strive to reach goals that you have been denied in the past. Your numbers are 5, 11, 24, 27, 36, 38, 46 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Check everything you do twice. You are bound to make costly mistakes if you aren’t careful. A poor partnership will start you thinking about ways to correct the situation. Before you jump into something too fast, do your research. ★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Whether it’s a vacation or taking a course to enrich your mind or teach you a new skill, it will turn out well and lead to new friendships. Don’t limit what you can do because of a lack of confidence. If someone tries to discourage you, proceed with your plans anyway. ★★★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take a greater interest in contracts, investments and debts. A job that offers you more creativity will be made available. You will meet an unusually interesting individual through work or an industry-related event. ★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll be drawn to personal concerns that involve partnerships. Take a serious look at the possible repercussions and make some changes yourself and where your associates are concerned – but within reason. ★★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Aggressive behavior will not help you accomplish your goals. Instead, work quietly behind the scenes, away from those who will slow you down and hold you back. Don’t take on someone else’s job. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Do something nice for yourself. A change made to an investment will be beneficial if you take control and handle what’s happening. Expect a more experienced individual to try to undermine you. ★★★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Stick to your morals and your principles. Problems at home will leave you in an uncertain position. You can turn negativity around by surrounding yourself with people who are like-minded and enjoy the same events and activities you do. ★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t leave anything to chance, especially if it might affect your personal life. Deception is apparent when dealing with contractors or anyone making promises. Reliability will be hard to find when dealing with others. Prepare to do the bulk of the work yourself. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Concerns regarding your position will arise. Don’t get emotional about something you cannot change. Concentrate on ways to draw greater interest to what you have to offer. A trip will pay off in terms of contracts. ★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Do your best to fix anything that may turn into a costly venture and avoid anyone who wants to disrupt your plans. Someone with authority may give you a hard time. Preparation and organization will be your saving grace. ★★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t give in to pressure by someone trying to take advantage of your good nature or vulnerability. Pay your debts but don’t pay for someone else. A relationship may not be as it appears. If you are unsure how someone feels, ask. ★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A window of opportunity will open, allowing you to move into a much better professional position. Don’t be afraid to put a little pressure on someone who has promised you something. Be ready to say no to anyone asking for too much. ★★★★

How’s this for questionable timing? “The tragedy in Mr. Smith’s death,” read a newspaper report of a fatal accident, “is that if it had happened a few minutes earlier, he might still be alive.” In today’s deal, West led the seven of spades against South’s game. East took the queen and knew the lead was a singleton, hence he cashed the ace and led a third spade for West to ruff. West next led a club, but South rose with dummy’s ace, drew trumps, discarded dummy’s losing club on a good spade, and claimed the rest. Making four.

DAILY QUESTION

EARLIER

You hold: S K 10 4 H A J 5 3 D K 6 5 2 C A 7. You are the dealer. What is your opening call?

South benefitted from some bad timing: If East had given West his ruff one trick earlier, the defense might still be alive. Instead of establishing declarer’s spades for him, East must lead the deuce of spades at Trick Two. When West ruffs, he’ll lead a club: East’s deuce – his lowest spade – is a suit-preference play, asking West to lead the lowest-ranking side suit next. Then the defense gets a club, two spades and a ruff.

ANSWER: Tournament players would open 1NT, using a range of 15 to 17 points. (Tournament fans often open balanced 12point hands. They bid 1NT next with 12 to 14 points: A range of 12 to 15 points would be unwieldy.) If you prefer a 16-to-18 range and would open this hand with one diamond, fine. Just be sure you and your partner have a firm agreement. South 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. 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.

SONNY HEDGECOCK | HPE

Winter weather last week delayed but couldn’t put a damper on the celebration of three football players from T. Wingate Andrews signing National Letters of Intent. From left, Jamie Smith (N.C. A&T), Quan Stevenson (Duke) and Daniel Pinnix (Fayetteville State) were honored Monday.

Andrews lauds talented trio Q

uan Stevenson dropped out of the recruiting wars before the high school football season began last August. “I just wanted to lock down a scholarship,” Stevenson said. What he did then was make a commitment to play at Duke, saying no to Wake Forest, East Carolina and Marshall. Wearing a ball cap with a distinctive dark blue D on the front, Stevenson took part in a ceremony in the T. Wingate Andrews media center Monday to demonstrate that the commitment turned into singing a national letter-of-intent with the Blue Devils last Wednesday. Stevenson going to Duke was the most notable college choice among three Red Raiders who participated in the mock signings. Jamie Smith is headed to Football Championship Subdivision member North Carolina A&T, and Daniel Pinnix is going to Division II Fayetteville State. “They helped keep me afloat

here when we had some rough times,” Red Raider coach Rodney McKoy said. “Even in the difficult days, they managed to give it their best.” SPORTS Stevenson, who plans to major in Greer graphic arts, said Smith he chose the Blue ■■■ Devils because of the strides they have made under coach David Cutcliffe. Duke improved to 5-7 last season after going 3-8 in 2008 and 1-10 in 2007. “It’s a great academic opportunity and they have an up-andcoming program,” Stevenson said. “Coach Cutcliffe is a real humble man and a great person to be around. The coaching staff felt real good about me and they think they can build me into a potential starter.” Stevenson was a jack-of-all

trades on offense and a mainstay in the defensive backfield for the Red Raiders. The 6-foot-1, 190pound athlete was recruited to play cornerback for the Blue Devils, who surrendered an average of 215 passing yards last season. “They need more height at the corner position,” Stevenson said. As a junior, Stevenson had five interceptions to go with 60 tackles. Last season, he added two interceptions and 70 tackles. He was rated as the 115th safety in the nation by ESPN.com. Stevenson’s first ACC contest will come against Wake Forest in the second game of the season. A week after that, defending national champion Alabama comes to Wallace Wade Stadium. “It’s going to be a real good challenge for me,” Stevenson said of facing the Crimson Tide. “I’ll have to step up to the plate.” Smith picked A&T over Duke, Norfolk State, Appalachian State and Winston-Salem State.

Danica gets f irst start

ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

Danica Patrick now gets a chance at experiencing how much tougher restrictor-plate racing is in the upper levels of stock-car racing than what she went through on Saturday. In a move that was expected, JR Motorsports announced Monday that Patrick will race in Saturday’s 300-mile Nationwide Series seasonopener at Daytona International Speedway. A statement from the team said the decision was made following Patrick’s performance in Saturday’s ARCA race. Patrick recovered from a spin, rallied from 12th-place in the closing laps and finished sixth. “Racing in the Nationwide Series race was my goal during this entire two-month preparation process, but we wanted to make sure it was the right thing to do,” Patrick said in a statement. “The ARCA race was a blast, and I’m not ready for my first Daytona Speedweeks to end just yet. I want more racing.” JR Motorsports is owned by Dale Earnhardt Jr., Rick Hendrick and Tony Eury Jr. “I think Danica proved to everyone that she can compete in stock cars at a high level, and right now seat time is extremely important” JRM general manager Kelley Earnhardt Elledge said. “She has worked extremely hard during the past two months for this opportunity. Her

pects to play cornerback for the Aggies, who were 5-6 and gave up 155 yards per game through the air last season. “Coach (Alonzo) Lee is a real good man,” said Smith, who wants to major in biology or forensics. “He puts faith, education and becoming a man ahead of football. That stood out to me and played a big part in my decision.” Pinnix chose Fayetteville over Coastal Carolina, Presbyterian, Norfolk State and N.C. State. He is projected as either a defensive end or outside linebacker for the Broncos, who were 8-3 last season. “It was an opportunity to get a full scholarship,” said Pinnix, who had 110 tackles last season and is eyeing a degree in business management. “They showed me real good hospitality. They made me feel like I was already a part of the family.”

AP

Danica Patrick waves after being introduced before Saturday’s ARCA series race at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla. dedication and work ethic is infectious.” Earnhardt Jr. is to drive the team’s No. 88 in Saturday’s race. Patrick was previously scheduled to make her Nationwide debut a week from Saturday at Auto Club Speedway in California. She still plans to race there and is also slated to compete in the Nationwide event the following week at Las Vegas. She is guaranteed a starting position in all three events because JRM acquired the points earned by the CJM team’s No. 11 cars last year. The CJM team disbanded in the offseason. gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

CHARLESTON, S.C. – Freshman Erin Reynolds set new career highs with 18 points and five steals Monday night, but it wasn’t enough as the High Point University women fell 66-60 at Charleston Southern. The Panthers led by eight points with nine minutes remaining before being outscored 24-10 down the stretch. The loss was the third straight for HPU (13-10, 6-4 Big South), which lost 67-60 at Coastal Carolina on Saturday. “They made big shots and we missed quite a few easy ones in the last two or three minutes,” coach Tooey Loy said. “This was a game in which we let them hang around and get back into it, and when you do that anything can happen in the last two minutes. I am disappointed with how things went on this road trip, but we will get back in the gym this week and work and get things going again.” CSU (13-10, 5-5) got 25 points from Katie Tull. For the Panthers, junior Mackenzie Maier blocked seven shots to tie her own school record (Division-I era) for the fourth time. Jurica Hargraves added 13 points and Shamia Brown had 12. High Point returns to action Saturday at 2 p.m. in the Millis Center against leagueleader Gardner-Webb.

HIT AND RUN

---

N

ew Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton displayed the go-for-broke spirit of a riverboat gambler in Sunday’s Super Bowl. He hit the jackpot in a way that would have made Bret Maverick or Brady Hawkes (Kenny Rogers’ character in “The Gambler” movies) proud. With the Saints trailing the Colts 10-6 inside of two minutes in the first half, Payton rolled the dice on fourth-and-goal from just

inside the 2. He shunned a field goal, but came up snake eyes when Pierre Thomas was stuffed short of the end zone on a run. Undaunted, Payton gambled again to start the second half. He called for an onside kickoff and the move caught the Colts completely off guard. The Saints recovered and marched into the end zone to take their first lead of the game at 13-10. That gutsy play marked the first time in Super Bowl history that a team tried an

onside kick prior to the fourth quarter. It changed the entire complexion of Super Bowl XLIV. Indy briefly rallied to lead 17-13, but the Saints would not be denied. I applaud Payton’s play-calling courage. He took chances on his sport’s biggest stage and brought the curtain down in championship style.

The Chicago White Sox are taking Hall of Famer Luis Aparicio’s No. 11 out of retirement for newly acquired 11-time Gold Glove winner Omar Vizquel. A Venezuelan like Aparicio, Vizquel will wear the number as a tribute to his countryman. “For me, it’s like a huge celebration, trying to keep his name alive and trying to spread the word of Venezuelan shortstops,” Vizquel said Monday. “I think every kid now – the new generation of shortstops in Venezuela – has to know about Luis Aparicio and everything that he means to us.” Aparicio said if there’s one player he’d like to see wear his number, it’s Vizquel, the leader among shortstops in games (2,681) and a three-time AL All-Star. “I have known Omar for a long time,” the 10-time All-Star shortstop and nine-time Gold Glove winner said. “Along with being an outstanding player, he is a good and decent man.” Vizquel has worn 13, but that number belongs to Sox manager Ozzie Guillen.

Trinity splits with Wheatmore ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORTS

WHEATMORE, TRINITY

AP

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, the Super Bowl XLIV MVP, joins Mickey Mouse in a parade in the Magic Kingdom in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., in celebration of the Saints’ 31-17 victory over the Colts on Sunday.

Saints bask in championship glory FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) – Clearly exhausted from a late night of post-Super Bowl celebrations, Sean Payton leaned on a podium Monday, clutching the Vince Lombardi trophy in his right hand. “You can’t get enough of this,” the Saints’ head coach said. “This thing lay in my bed next to me last night, rolled over it a couple times. I probably drooled on it. But man, there’s nothing like it.” Certainly, the New Orleans Saints never experienced anything like it. Before this one, the Saints had only eight winning seasons –

and two playoff victories – in their previous 42 years combined. New Orleans had to win three postseason games over three great quarterbacks – Kurt Warner, Brett Favre and Peyton Manning – to win the title this season. The last quarterback standing was Drew Brees, who joined Payton in 2006 with the idea of transforming the Saints into champions for a region needing widespread rebuilding after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. That was easier said than done, but in their fourth season togeth-

er, they did it. Brees was chosen the Super Bowl MVP after Sunday night’s 31-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. After that, his only remaining challenge was believing he’d actually pulled it off. “I had to wake up this morning and turn to my wife and say, ‘Did yesterday really happen?’ ” Brees said. Payton said when all was quiet in the team hotel around 3 a.m., he offered a prayer of thanks for his team and his experience in New Orleans, where he became a head coach for the first time in 2006.

Colts seek solace with focus on next year MIAMI (AP) – Reggie Wayne stared right through all those reporters. He wasn’t bothered by the questions Sunday night. He just couldn’t believe he and the Colts lost to his hometown New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl. Moments after Indianapolis came up one win short of a championship, the Pro Bowl receiver downplayed the disappointment by focusing on next season. “I’d rather win than lose, but I think once we get this feeling out of the way, we’ll be determined to

come back and get another shot at it,” Wayne said. Who could blame him for being upset? He’ll hear about this loss for years. It won’t be any easier for other Colts, who will constantly be reminded of blowing a 10-point lead in the Super Bowl and failing to live up to expectations following a near-perfect regular season. “I felt like we played well this postseason,” Peyton Manning said. “We played well in our first playoff game, played well two weeks ago and, at times, made some plays against the Saints. We just didn’t

play well enough to win.” The Colts compiled several impressive accomplishments this season. Late in December, they were 14-0 and had a shot to join the 2007 Patriots as the only teams to go 16-0 in a regular season. But Indianapolis traded that chance for an opportunity to rest its starters down the stretch, figuring that was the best way to chase a second Super Bowl title in four years. The Colts finished 14-2 in the regular season and 16-3 overall. Their 31-17 loss to underdog New Orleans left both quests unfulfilled.

won’t be as a starter – at least not right away. “Under normal circumstances I would always start a guy who’s been your starter,” Bobcats coach Larry Brown said. “But I don’t think this is normal circumstances because he hasn’t had a lot of time on the floor. But let’s hope he can come back (today). It’s a nice problem to have.” Nazr Mohammed has been one of the big surprises for the Bobcats (24-25), who sit in seventh place in the East as they vie for the franchise’s first playoff berth. Mohammed has posted impressive numbers in Chandler’s place.

Chandler’s return nears for Bobcats CHARLOTTE (AP) – Tyson Chandler arrived in Charlotte recovering from ankle and toe surgery. After slogging through the first third of the season with unimpressive results, he was shelved again with a stress reaction in his left foot. Finally healthy, Chandler is ready to return – and wary of fitting in with a team that hit its stride without him. Chandler participated in his first full practice Monday since being sidelined before Christmas. After missing 22 games, it’s possible he could play some tonight. When he returns, it

TRINITY – Trinity’s boys remained atop the PAC 6 2A Conference with a 5128 romp over Wheatmore on Monday night. The Bulldogs took firm control in the third quarter, expanding a 19-10 lead at the half to 35-16 entering the fourth quarter. They improved to 7-0 to stay one game in the loss column ahead of Andrews. Matt Watkins paced Trinity with 14 points. David Clausel had 13 and Dustin Mann six. Jordan Fulp led the Warriors with six points. Justin Payne and Ray Edwards had five. In the girls’ game, Wheatmore won 56-51 after regaining the lead late and extending the margin by hitting free throws. Taylor Walker made 6 of 6 free throws during the stretch run and led the Warriors with 27 points. Peyton Boswell had 13 and Courtney Rains 12. Rains added 19 rebounds for the Warriors (8-13, 4-4). Paige Hudson also sparked the Warriors’ best defensive effort of the year, coach Chad Ellington said. Logan Terry hit for 18 to lead the Bulldogs (8-13, 43), who were up by five in the fourth before Wheatmore rallied. Amber Simrel has 12 and Christy Campbell 11.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Arnold Schwarzenegger will hand the Olympic torch off to Sebastian Coe on Friday morning, the day of the opening ceremony at the Vancouver Games. The California governor and the two-time Olympic gold medalist runner were revealed Monday as torch relay participants along with several famous Canadians, including the father of hockey great Wayne Gretzky. “Clearly we want to have a big finish,� said John Furlong, the CEO of the Vancouver organizing committee. Besides Walter Gretzky, other notable relay runners include astronaut Julie Payette, singer Jann Arden and former hockey player Richard Brodeur. The 106-day relay is closing in on Vancouver, where a protest is planned for Friday afternoon just hours before the opening ceremony. VANOC executive vice president Dave Cobb said the organizing committee has notified the International Olympic Committee of the protest possibility. “We told them what we expect and security is telling us that the protests that may occur are expected to be peaceful and within the law,� Cobb said. “If they are then we’re fine with it, but the security forces are prepared to react if people break the law.� IOC executive board member Gerhard Heiberg said the Olympic

body was not overly worried about the protests. “I wouldn’t call it concerns,� said Heiberg, who organized the 1994 Winter Games in Lillehammer, Norway. “We have to accept protests, and there will be some. Fine, we are used to that. That’s normal.�

Toyota to recall nearly 300,000 Priuses TOKYO (AP) – Toyota plans to recall about 300,000 Prius hybrids worldwide over a brake problem and is likely to notify both the U.S. and Japanese governments today, news reports said, as a top executive will testify before U.S. lawmakers about defects that have tarnished its reputation for quality and safety. The recall of the gaselectric Prius will cover the latest version of the cars that went on sale from May last year, Kyodo News agency reported late Monday. Kyodo, which did not identify its sources for the information, said the automaker planned to no-

tify authorities in Japan on Tuesday and probably also in the U.S. on the same day. The recall will cover about 270,000 of the hybrids sold in the two countries — 170,000 in Japan and 100,000 in the U.S., Kyodo said. Japan’s Nikkei business daily carried a similar report about Toyota’s recall plans on its Web site, saying the automaker would notify authorities in Japan on Tuesday and was also likely to do so in the U.S. at about the same time. Toyota Motor Corp. spokeswoman Ririko Takeuchi said no decision on a Prius recall has been made. Kenji Sugai, an of-

ficial in Japan’s Transport Ministry section in charge of recalls, said it had not been informed of any such plan by Toyota. The automaker is still weighing its options on how to handle the Prius repairs in the U.S., but it intends to begin fixing them soon, according to a person briefed on the matter who asked not to be identified because the remedy hasn’t been made public. Toyota has said among its options are a service campaign in which owners would be notified to bring their cars in for repairs, or a full-fledged safety recall. Toyota is communicating with the

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on how to handle the fix. A service campaign wouldn’t have the stigma of a safety recall, but regulators may press for the recall. The reports follow others in Japanese media recently that the world’s largest automaker has decided to announce a recall early this week as a way of regaining damaged consumer trust. Toyota has already recalled more than 7 million other cars for repairs in the U.S. and other countries over a sticky accelerator and floor mats that can get caught in the gas pedal.

BRIEFS Ex-Merrill CEO Thain to lead CIT NEW YORK – John Thain is getting a second chance. CIT Group Inc. tapped the former Merrill Lynch CEO to become its chairman and chief executive. Thain brokered Merrill’s sale to Bank of America as the credit crisis peaked in the fall of 2008, but was forced to resign after the deal closed because of controversy over bonus payments and mounting losses at the investment bank. CIT, one of the nation’s largest lenders to small and mid-sized businesses, is betting Thain can repair his image and the company’s after a difficult 2009.

HHS wants insurer to justify rate hike WASHINGTON – The Obama administration is asking Anthem Blue Cross to justify its plans to raise health insurance premiums by as much as 39 percent for customers in California. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius sent a letter to the company’s president on Monday calling the planned increases extraordinary and difficult to understand. She wrote that the company has an obligation to provided a detailed justification for the rate hikes to the public.

Tallest tower closes month after opening DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – The world’s tallest skyscraper has unexpectedly closed to the public a month after its lavish opening, disappointing tourists headed for the observation deck and casting doubt over plans to welcome its first permanent occupants in the coming weeks. Electrical problems are at least partly to blame for the closure of the Burj Khalifa’s viewing platform. ENTERPRISE NEWS SERVICE REPORTS

CVS Caremark sees profit NEW YORK (AP) – CVS Caremark Corp., one of the nation’s biggest drugstore operators, said Monday its profit rose 11 percent in the fourth quarter as results improved for its pharmacy benefits management business. CVS shares rose $1.95, or 6.3 percent, to $33.02. in afternoon trading. The Woonsocket, R.I., company said it earned $1.05 billion, or 74 cents

per share, in the last three months of 2009, up from $949 million, or 65 cents per share, a year earlier. Excluding onetime costs, CVS earned 79 cents per share – a penny ahead of the average analyst estimate, according to Thomson Reuters. Revenue grew 7 percent to $25.82 billion from $24.14 billion but fell short of Street estimates of $26.22 billion.

The company did not disclose any new contract losses for its Caremark pharmacy benefits management business and sought to reassure analysts that the billions in contracts it has lost were a one-time problem. In November, the company said Caremark had lost about $4.8 billion in contract revenue for 2010.

Transformers boost Hasbro NEW YORK (AP) – Strong sales of boys’ brands including Transformers and Nerf helped Hasbro Inc. post a better-than-expected fourthquarter profit, sending shares up 11 percent, briefly touching a 52-week high. The owner of the G.I. Joe, Tonka and Playskool brands also said it expects sales and earnings per share to grow this year, although it didn’t offer specific estimates.

DILBERT

“Overall in 2009, the global economic environment did not improve significantly, but it also did not deteriorate further,” CEO Brian Gardner said. “We were well positioned when the consumer came out to shop, and the consumer did come out to shop, albeit late in the fourth quarter.” Shares rose $3.52, or 11.4 percent, to $34.32, during morning trading, after earlier reaching a

52-week high of $34.81. The fourth quarter is key for toy makers because it contains the holiday period and can make up to half of the year’s sales. Transformers – boosted by the “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” movie in June – took in $592 million in revenue in 2009, up 23 percent compared with 2007, when the original “Transformers” movie debuted.

Government remains shut down as DC, region dig out WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal workers and school children got a day off Monday as the Mid-Atlantic region dug out from as much as 3 feet of snow that made travel nearly impossible

Utilities warned it could be days before power is restored to everyone. and knocked out power to tens of thousands. Federal agencies that employ 230,000 in Washington were closed, as were many local governments, businesses and school districts. Utilities warned it could be days before power is restored to everyone. With more snow expected today into Wednesday – as much as a foot in some places and close to

another foot and a half in Philadelphia – stranded travelers wondered when they might escape the icy, gray mess. At Washington’s Reagan National Airport, where flights had resumed after more than two days, the “on time” flights on the departure board started to outnumber the canceled ones by mid-afternoon. But many people still didn’t know when they might get out. Mark Burroughs, the mayor of Denton, Texas, needed to be back for a vote today, but he and his wife, Annie, were on standby. They made it to a weekend snowball fight in Dupont Circle that they called “great fun,” but by Monday they were ready to go home. “I saw on the news Thursday night that the snow was coming, so like masochists, we got on an airplane and came here,” Annie Burroughs joked.

Balloon boy dad transferred to start work-release FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) – The man who pleaded guilty in the balloon boy hoax has been released from a Colorado jail to serve the rest of his sentence in a workrelease program. Larimer County sheriff’s office spokeswoman Eloise Campanella says Richard Heene was transferred Sunday and is expected to work during the day, then spend nights at a work-release dormitory.

His wife, Mayumi, pleaded guilty to filing a false report and must serve 20 days in jail. Sheriff’s officials say the couple’s report Oct. 15 that their young son had floated away in a UFO-shaped helium balloon was a hoax.

Telefonica considers charging Google

Toyota exec gets set to appear in Congress TOKYO (AP) – Toyota is counting on a trusted veteran with ample U.S. experience, Yoshimi Inaba, when the Japanese automaker’s recall problems are scrutinized by Congress later this week. Inaba, 63, a sales expert, was hand-picked from semiretirement by Toyota Motor Corp. President Akio Toyoda last year to head the North American operations and help steer Toyota through the company’s biggest earnings slump in its 72-year history as global auto sales dived. Now he must explain a

spate of safety problems – first with floor mats that could entangle the gas pedal, followed by a design flaw that could cause a depressed gas pedal to get stuck – covering more than 7 million vehicles worldwide. The quality woes have spread to the Prius, the world’s top-selling hybrid car and a symbol of Toyota’s technological prowess. There have been dozens of complaints in Japan and the U.S. of a short delay before the brakes kick in. Inaba will appear before the U.S. House Com-

mittee on Oversight and Government Reform on Wednesday along with Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Administrator David Strickland. The name of the hearing: “Toyota Gas Pedals: Is the Public at Risk?” Inaba, who has a master’s in business administration from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Business, faces the enormous challenge of assuaging public alarm about what has gone wrong at the manufacturer.

MADRID – Spanish telecoms operator Telefonica says it is considering charging Internet search companies like Google and Yahoo for network use. In comments published Monday from a press conference in the northern city of Bilbao, President Cesar Alierta said companies like Google use a lot of network bandwidth for free, something which was good for them but not for Telefonica. Alierta says his company, which operates in Spain and across Latin America, provides the network, product sale, customer care, installation and maintenance to search engine companies that profit from using them.

Weather drives energy prices higher NEW YORK – Natural gas prices climbed Monday as another winter storm was expected to dump even more snow on the East Coast. Already, parts of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Washington are blanketed in about three feet of snow, knocking out power for tens of thousands of people and forcing government offices to close. Meanwhile, benchmark crude for March delivery added 73 cents at $71.92 a barrel on the Nymex. In London, Brent crude gained 74 cents at $70.33 on the ICE futures exchange.
