Thomas Built names new president BY PAM HAYNES AND PAUL JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITERS

HIGH POINT – Thomas Built Buses is announcing that a new president will lead the company starting next year. Kelley Platt will become president of the High Point-based bus manufacturer, effective Jan. 1, with the responsibility for the entire school bus business. Platt will succeed John O’Leary, who served as the company’s

first president outside of the local Thomas family, which founded the company as a streetcar manufacturer in the early 20th century. O’Leary became president of Thomas Built Buses in 2002 after serving as an executive for Freightliner Corp. Thomas Built Buses and Freightliner are part of the conglomerate Daimler AG. O’Leary took over the company after it committed to a $39.7 million local expansion that would add 178 jobs to its work force. Officials in High Point, Archdale, and Guilford

and Randolph counties came together earlier this decade to prevent the Thomas Built Buses expansion from taking place in Gaffney, S.C. O’Leary will move into a new role with Daimler Trucks North America, a spokeswoman for the company said Thursday. Platt has served as the general manager of business excellence since 2006. She joined Daimler Trucks North America, Thomas’ parent company, in 1989 as manager of treasury services. In 1997, she was promoted to treasurer.

She also played a role in the 1998 activities that led to the purchase of Thomas Built Buses by Daimler from the Thomas family and Berkshire Investors. Prior to joining Daimler, Platt was in commercial banking in Portland, Ore., where Daimler Truck North America’s corporate headquarters are located, and New York. Platt will relocate with her family to High Point. phaynes@hpe.com | 888-3617 pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Forecast for area, nation. 6C BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Monday may mark the official start of winter, but a storm expected to bring snow, sleet and freezing temperatures to the region should usher in the season starting today. The amount of snow from the storm in the greater High Point area remained a point of uncertainty with forecasters Thursday. Forecasters indicated the storm could produce from 2 inches to 10 inches of snow in parts of the Piedmont, depending on the track of the system, its duration and the mix in the atmosphere between precipitation and cold temperatures. Snow could start falling during the late morning to early afternoon today and continue through Saturday night, said Brandon Locklear, senior meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Raleigh. Crews for the city of High Point Public Services Department and the N.C. Department of Transportation were out Thursday spreading salt brine on roadways to prepare for the elements.

Street Department’s Seth Couzens works filling brine truck at the Hoskins Street facility. An area of low pressure developing in the Gulf Coast will move through the Southeastern United States, Locklear said. “The track will determine how much lift and how much moisture we get. The closer it is to the coast, the more lift and moisture we get. If it’s too far off the coast, then you’ll see a drastic reduction of lift and precipitation,” he said. The line between the areas that receive significant snow and those that don’t can be narrow, Locklear said. Four years ago, for example, a similar storm brought 2 inches of snow to the Triad, while 25 miles to 30 miles to the southeast, areas received 10 inches to 1 foot of snow.

“This event has the potential to do that,” he said Thursday. The storm isn’t expected to involve significant accumulations of ice, Locklear said. City of High Point Electric Utilities Department crews are prepared to respond to outages, though snow won’t represent as much of a threat compared to ice. “It’s absolutely much better that it’s a snow event than an ice event. Snow usually isn’t an issue for us. Once we get up toward a half an inch of ice, it’s catastrophic for us,” said Larry Hopkins, electric operations engineer for the city. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

AT A GLANCE

—

The snow from a storm in the Southeast should reach the High Point area around lunchtime today, forecasters predicted on Thursday. The heaviest snowfall should occur during this afternoon and evening. The snow should continue through Saturday night. The National Weather Service on Thursday afternoon was projecting the most significant snow to the north and west of the Triad, though a winter storm warning was in effect for the Piedmont.

Hundreds of homeless attend memorial dinner BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – With the elements predicted to turn inhospitable for those without shelter, Thursday’s gathering of local homeless for a free meal in downtown High Point was timely. The annual Homeless Memorial Dinner, presented by the High Point Housing Coalition, brought 350 to 400 homeless individuals from local shelters, transitional housing programs and off the streets to Showplace. In addition to the meal, attendees were treated to a program

that featured music, testimonials and served to honor and remember eight local homeless citizens who died during 2009. The event also served to recognize National Homeless Person’s Memorial Day, which is observed each Dec. 21, the first day of winter. “We’re here to raise awareness of homelessness and to bring recognition to those who have died,” said Steve Key, executive director of Open Door Ministries. “This is a difficult time for a lot of our homeless friends.” Clients from the Housing First program – which puts the

chronically homeless in permanent housing and helps them find support services – shared inspirational stories about their journeys from being down and out to getting help with their lives, and gave thanks for the community’s generosity in putting the dinner together. “This is an awesome thing for people to have so much love,” said Tony Leak, who started a ministry at a local shelter. “It’s a blessing to be able to reach out to people and share the word of God. I thank Him for the people he put in my life.” Rosemary Nuncio said she came from Oklahoma to High

vices, Guilford Interfaith Hospitality, I Am Now Inc., Leslie’s House/West End Ministries and the Salvation Army. In addition to the High Point Housing Coalition, sponsors were the city of High Point, Community Bible Church, Green Street Baptist Church, High Point Bank, High Point Christian Academy, Messiah Too!! Catering, Showplace, Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church, Wesleyan Christian Academy, Westchester Country Day School and Williams Memorial CME Church.

School officials OK consolidated Area arts council awards $10,800 program for autistic BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

AUTISM PROGRAMS

GUILFORD COUNTY – School district officials approved a consolidated program for autistic children in two schools Thursday. The Board of Education voted 92 to open a new wing at Ragsdale High School and a second at a site yet to be determined. Each school could grow to more than 100 students with consolidation. A second site has not yet been determined. Voters approved three sites when they passed a $457 million construction bond referendum in 2008. Several school board members agreed with district staff that two sites would be more efficient. “Forty-eight students at three schools is not the best grouping,” said Board of Education Chairman Alan Duncan. “We could do two sites for about the same money as three wings and we could get a state-paid principal for two schools. That could be a better service.” Board member Paul Daniels, who wanted to table the issue for more discussion next month, voted against the plan as did board mem-

Earlier, parent Dwight Meredith urged the board to build two autism wings. “It is hard to put classes together if each school has 48 students,” he said. The board’s decision appeared to eliminate a site considered for a new $80 million high school near Piedmont Triad International Airport and a site in southeast Guilford County. So far, the board has not decided what to do with the McIver special education school in Greensboro, which serves 133 students. Betty Anne Chandler, executive

director of district’s exceptional children program, proposed the change to two schools after meetings with parents and experts. “We need the Ragsdale site to serve High Point and Jamestown,” Chandler said. “The airport and the southeast Guilford sites are too far away.” School officials also reviewed costs. “This could cost more,” said Nora Carr, school district chief of staff. “But this plan should address growth better.” District officials estimate that the number of students with autism will grow by 15 percent a year. Chandler said she will continue to meet with parents and experts to discuss plans for the schools. The $25 million addition and renovation project for Ragsdale High also includes a gymnasium with spectator seating, band and chorus rooms, a media center, and administrative offices. The adjoining middle school gyms will be converted to house classrooms, a kitchen, and dining facilities for the high school. dnivens@hpe.com|888-3626

Ex-Easley aide declines to testify RALEIGH (AP) – An aide to then-Gov. Mike Easley declined to testify Thursday before the State Board of Elections, which sought more information from him in its monthslong investigation into Easley’s campaign committee. Through his attorney, Ruffin Poole exercised his Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself during a brief hearing before the fivemember board. Poole had been subpoenaed to testify during the election board’s inves-

tigation, and evidence during an October board hearing showed Poole was involved in fundraising for the governor’s campaign. Poole’s decision adds further intrigue to the probe into Easley’s campaign, which the board penalized $100,000 in October for failing to disclose previously dozens of private airplane flights for a former Easley political ally, McQueen Campbell. A local prosecutor is now examining whether Easley or others should face criminal charges.

Federal prosecutors also are investigating activities surrounding Easley and his associates. A Thursday report by The News & Observer in Raleigh also raised questions about Poole’s role in the permitting of a coastal development assembled by brothers Gary and Randy Allen, who were Easley’s political supporters. Poole and his attorney, Joe Zeszotarski, declined to comment further after leaving the board hearing. Poole is also an attorney who joined a law firm with Easley after the two-term

Democrat left office in January. Poole’s potential testimony was delayed in October when he successfully got a Superior Court judge to quash the subpoena when Poole claimed attorneyclient privilege prevented him from speaking. But the Court of Appeals issued a stay on the lower court order, and the board rescheduled his appearance to seek testimony. On Thursday, Zeszotarski told board chairman Larry Leake that Poole wouldn’t answer any questions, citing the privilege.

Teacher on leave for taking choir to Hooters PHOENIX (AP) — An Arizona music teacher whose students performed at a presidential inauguration event is on administrative leave after taking 40 high school students to a Hooters restaurant. Paradise Valley school district spokeswoman Judi Willis says choir

director Mary Segall accompanied the students to a performance in downtown Phoenix last week, and during the outing, they ate lunch at Hooters. Willis says Segall explained that the restaurant, known for its waitresses’ somewhat revealing attire, was the only place that could ac-

commodate a group of that size. But district officials believe there were other options for lunch in the area. Segall could not be reached for comment. The teacher plans on retiring in January, and Willis says she does not know if she’ll return before then.

Kenneth Lewis said Thursday that Cal Cunningham never spoke out as a member of the North Carolina Banking Commission this year in opposition to bonuses for commission staff members. The staff would have shared $200,000. The bonuses were never paid due to the bad economy. Lewis also said Cunningham should resign from the commission because membership could be a conflict should Cunningham raise campaign funds from the banking industry.

White ribbons represent meeting’s desire for peace Over the last couple of years people driving through the intersection of Penny Road and Wendover Avenue in High Point may have noticed the presence of a multitude of white ribbons on the trees and bushes in the front yard of Deep River Friends Meeting (Quaker). Many have asked us about the purpose of those white ribbons. The white ribbons represent for us a witness to peace. We began by putting up a ribbon for each person that had been killed in the war in Iraq. The ribbon serves both as a way to honor the life that has been lost as well as a reminder that we long and pray for peace to prevail. We are in the process of putting up more ribbons and our focus is now on the present war in Afghanistan. As before, the ribbons will serve to honor those who have given their life in service of their country as well as be a reminder that peace is God’s ultimate dream for creation – and our hope as well. As a Quaker meeting, we feel God has called us to witness to peace and at the same time support those who find themselves on the front lines of these wars. Quakers have historically maintained a peace testimony and we humbly seek to live that out as best we can. We are aware of the reality of armed conflict but long for a day when “… nations will never again go to war, never prepare for battle again” (Micah 4:3 TEV). Until that time, we con-

ise move! Members of the Guilford County Board of Commissioners again have selected Democrat Skip Alston as their chairman and Republican Steve Arnold as vice chairman. When this leadership team was elected a year ago, lots of folks throughout Guilford County were skeptical. After all, as The High Point Enterprise then pointed out in an editorial, the Guilford County Board of Commissioners was “certainly one of the most politically partisan and divisive county boards in the state” and, before Alston and Arnold formed the leadership team, they rarely agreed on any issue. Cliches were everywhere: Oil and water don’t mix, leopards won’t change their spots and politics makes strange bedfellows appeared to be the favorites. Still, during the past year Alston and Arnold made it work. Guilford’s commissioners, in spite of the challenges they had to overcome, demonstrated more civility and less partisan bickering than that body had in years. Alston plans to continue his work to squeeze the biggest bang for the buck out of the county budget and, putting his sizeable ego behind him, has pointed out “this has not been a one-man show. ... All of the commissioners participated ... in committees that helped to pass a budget early with no tax increase.” Arnold has vowed the two have joined to work this year on an agenda of “effectiveness and efficiency.” Last December, the Enterprise noted, “Board members need to be working together to address tough governance questions, particularly as they pertain to budgets and taxes.” Heeding that advice remains just as crucial during this new year, given the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Keep the momentum heading in the correct direction.

y thanks to all who worked so faithfully on the annual Christmas dinner at the Vet Safety Net/Caring Services office in High Point. Once again this year, Marie Jones of the United Hearts and Hands made this day a great success. Jones and her workers prepared a huge gift bag for each veteran. The Herndon brothers from Greensboro presented wonderful holiday music, and we all enjoyed the sing-along of Christmas carols we all remember from our childhood. We had wonderful food furnished and prepared by Triad Bass Masters group. It was good to see some familiar faces there. Lately, I have spent time at the Veterans Affairs clinic and the VA regional office in Winston-Salem. I have seen a pleasant change there; they are all friendly and very willing to help any veteran. Throughout the many years that I have been going there, many times I would leave feeling as if I had taken up their time for nothing. Attitudes have changed, and I see willingness to help veterans. I believe Gen. Eric K. Shinseki, secretary of Veterans Affairs, is responsible for the needed changes. He is keeping his word to all veterans. I am very convinced that Veterans Affairs offices always need people who have served in the military. They have a better understanding of veterans and their needs, maybe because they have worn the shoes of a military person. The Disabled American Veterans (DAV) office is located in the Federal Building on the same floor as the Veterans Affairs Regional Office. All the national service officers there

are disabled veterans. The DAV mission is to serve disabled veterans, and I know there are those who have not been pleased with some of the DAV people. But don’t give up; stand up and say you don’t agree with the way business is being handled, VETERAN’S and help make things better. We all have differences of opinion VIEWS now and then, but we all know how important it is to work Stan together for the good of all. Spangle Sr. Have you thought about donat■■■ ing a pint of blood during the holidays? Did you know three people can be helped by one unit of donated blood, through red cells, plasma and platelets? There are 43,000 units of blood used daily in the United States. I know there are times when it is just not convenient to donate, but the need for donated blood never takes a holiday. So, think about giving the gift of life. Stop when you see the Red Cross sign along the streets and roads in our area, or call the American Red Cross office at (336) 885-9121. They will be glad to hear you are interested in donating a unit of blood. Remember the reason for the Christmas holiday season, and God bless America and all the other nations. Semper Fi! STAN SPANGLE SR. is a 21-year veteran of the Marine Corps, serving in Korea and Vietnam. He’s a member of numerous veterans organizations.

Missiles kill 17 in Pakistan

Aid offer boosts US at climate talks COPENHAGEN (AP) – Large pieces of a climate deal fell into place Thursday with new offers from the U.S. and China, but other tough issues remained before President Barack Obama and other leaders can sign off on a political accord to contain the threat of an overheated world. An announcement by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton that the United States would contribute to a climate change fund amounting to $100 billion a year by 2020 was quickly followed by an offer from China to open its books on carbon emissions to international review. The U.S. delegation did not immediately react to the offer by Vice Foreign Minister He Yafei. But it went a long way toward the U.S.

Obama joins climate talks. 6B demand that China report on its actions to limit the growth of Beijing’s carbon emissions and allow experts to go over its data. The sudden concessions on the eve of Friday’s final session lifted hopes that the 193-nation conference could reach a framework agreement that could be refined into a legal accord next year on limiting greenhouse gas emissions and fighting climate change. It’s also possible that once the world leaders depart, the talks

Mexican kingpin’s death could spark response MEXICO CITY – Mexican troops acting on information from U.S. officials took out drug kingpin Arturo Beltran Leyva in an assault that provided a rare victory for President Felipe Calderon but left a power vacuum that could lead to more violence. In a carefully executed attack, heavily armed Mexican marines quietly evacuated an upscale apartment complex in Cuernavaca Wednesday before some 200 troops stormed the building and demanded the surrender of Beltran Leyva, one of the world’s most brutal drug lords.

French troops lead Afghan attack on Taliban PARIS – Some 800 French Legionnaires backed by 200 U.S. special forces and Afghan soldiers have gone on an offensive in a valley in Afghanistan where the Taliban killed 10 French soldiers last year, the French military said Thursday. Spokesman Rear Adm. Christophe Prazuck said several American soldiers were wounded in the operation in the Uzbin Valley east of Kabul. He had no information on the number of wounded, but said the American special forces were posted on a crest of the valley and were targeted from a neighboring valley.

Mudslide kills 9, destroys houses in Peru Andes AYACUCHO, Peru – A storm-loosened wave of mud and rocks rolled through the streets of Ayacucho in the Peruvian Andes, killing at least nine people while destroying homes and cars, authorities said Thursday. Wednesday’s mudslide came to within a block of the central plaza in the mountain city of 150,000 people. Senior Cabinet Minister Javier Velasquez said nine victims were confirmed dead and 23 injured, three of whom were still hospitalized for fractured bones.

A pair of Greenpeace activists crashed a Thursday night banquet hosted by Denmark’s Queen Margrethe for the world leaders already in town. The couple, dressed in formal wear, unfurled two banners reading “Politicians Talk, Leaders Act” as they walked on the red carpet reception line, and were dragged from the hall by security guards. The conference seems likely to fall short of the goal set by many developing countries for a deal that would be legally binding on all parties and guarantee the kind of dramatic emissions reductions by the industrial world.

Boy’s return to US dad denied by Brazil court RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) – Brazil’s Supreme Court on Thursday delayed the return of a 9year-old boy to his U.S. father only hours after the man arrived from New Jersey in hopes of taking the boy home for Christmas. The court ruled the child must stay in Brazil while it considers a request that his own testimony be heard in the case, which has dragged on for five years. The ruling written by Justice Marco Aurelio Mello means the boy will be in Brazil at least until Feb. 1, following the justices’ return from a recess, according to a court spokesman who commented on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to discuss the case.

push the U.S. and NATO out of Afghanistan. The second, bloodier attack involved five drones and 10 missiles – an unusually intense bombardment, they said. The strikes in North Waziristan are especially sensitive because they risk angering Afghan-focused militant groups who have agreed to be neutral as Islamabad cracks down on Taliban fighters in neighboring South Waziristan who have threatened the Pakistani state. It was not immediately clear exactly who or what was the target of the strike, and the Pakistani officials said they were trying to establish the identities of the dead.

UK judge convicts Kurd of ‘honor killing’ LONDON – A Kurdish father was convicted and sentenced to life in prison Thursday for murdering his 15-year-old daughter because she fell in love with a follower of a different branch of Islam. A London judge gave Mehmet Goren, 49, a minimum 22-year prison sentence for his so-called “honor killing” of daughter Tulay, who disappeared a decade ago and was never found. He also was convicted of attacking her boyfriend with an ax. Prosecutor Damaris Lakin said the fish-and-chip server killed his daughter for having a relationship with a Sunni Muslim.

BRASILIA, Brazil – The stepfather of a 2-year-old boy found with 42 needles in his body confessed to jabbing them into the toddler during a month of rituals with a lover who he claimed received instructions through trances, Brazilian police said Thursday. Roberto Carlos Magalhaes, a 30-year-old bricklayer, told detectives the woman went into trances and would “command him to stick the needles in the boy’s body,” police inspector Helder Fernandes Santana said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

Woman charged with murder in womb-cut case

Facebook privacy settings are shown in San Francisco, Thursday.

Want privacy on Facebook? Here is how to get some NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Over the past week, Facebook has been nudging its users â&#x20AC;&#x201C; first gently, then firmly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to review and update their privacy settings. You may have procrastinated by hitting â&#x20AC;&#x153;skip for now,â&#x20AC;? but Facebook eventually took away that button and forced you to update your settings before continuing to use the site. After finally accepting Facebookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations or tweaking the privacy settings yourself, though, you might have made more information about you public than what you had intended. At the same time, Facebook has given users many granular controls over their privacy, more than whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available on other major social networks.

So if you want to stay out of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view, but still want to be on Facebook, here are some things to look out for as you take another look at your settings. 1. Some of your information is viewable by everyone. Everyone can see your name, your profile photo and the names of work and school networks youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re part of. Ditto for pages you are a fan of. If you are worried about a potential employer finding out about a quirky fetish or unorthodox political leaning, avoid becoming a Facebook fan of such groups. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell Facebook you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want those publicly listed. Your gender and current city are also available, if you choose to specify them. You can uncheck

Your list of friends may also be public. Facebook also considers your friends list publicly available information.

BOSTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A woman who authorities believe faked her own pregnancy was charged Thursday with killing her pregnant friend, cutting her baby girl from her womb and kidnapping the infant. Julie Corey, 35, was initially charged with kidnapping after authorities found her and the 4pound girl in a homeless shelter in Plymouth, N.H., in July. On Thursday, a Worcester County grand jury returned indictments charging Corey with both kidnapping and murder.

DNA tests showed that the baby was cut from the womb of Darlene Haynes, 23. Haynes was eight months pregnant when she was killed in her Worcester apartment. Authorities said Julie Corey, of Worcester, and her boyfriend were friends with Haynes and her boyfriend. In the months before Haynes was killed, Corey told her family and her boyfriend that she was pregnant. Her boyfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family said she introduced a baby girl to them at a family gather-

ing on July 25, two days before Haynesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; body was found in a closet, wrapped in bedding. The state medical examiner determined the cause of death to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;blunt force trauma, asphyxia by ligature strangulation and incision of abdomen.â&#x20AC;? Corey will plead not guilty when she is arraigned on the murder and kidnapping charges in Worcester Superior Court, said her attorney, Louis Aloise. No date has been set for the arraignment.

Parents want videos sealed BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

RANDOLPH COUNTY – An Asheboro attorney representing the parents of a UNC Chapel Hill student who was fatally shot by an Archdale police officer will argue today in Randolph County Superior Court why police vehicle dash-cam videos that recorded events of the August incident should be sealed permanently. On Aug. 23, Courtland Smith, a 21-year-old fraternity president, was stopped on Interstate 85 by two Archdale police officers. Prior to being stopped, Smith had called 911 asking for police assistance and telling a dispatcher he was suicidal, driving drunk at speeds of

up to 110 mph and armed with a 9 mm pistol. Since the shooting, Superior Court Smith Judge Brad Long has kept sealed from public view two videos that portray interaction between Smith and police during the traffic stop and leading up to the shooting. He ruled in September that releasing the videos would hinder the case and jeopardize the right of potential defendants to receive a fair trial. The judge also ruled against a law firm representing several media outlets, including The High Point Enterprise, that “the video is a record of crimi-

nal investigation” and not a public record as currently defined by statutes. Following his review of the video, the judge said neither video shows Smith being shot by an officer, stating the video portrays interaction between Smith “and the officers immediately prior to the shooting.” Long also ruled if no charges are filed against the officers in the case, the videos would be made available to the public. Randolph County District Attorney Garland Yates earlier this month cleared Officer Jeremy Paul Flinchum, who shot Smith, ruling that the officer’s actions were justified under North Carolina law governing the use of deadly force.

Stopping the immediate release of the videos, Pharr and Susan D. Smith, who could not be reached for comment by The High Point Enterprise on Thursday, hired the Asheboro law firm of Megerian & Wells to request that Long seal the footage permanently. The firm will argue today there is legal precedent to seal the videos indefinitely, said Megerian and Wells attorney Jonathan Megerian. “I don’t think it needs to be released to YouTube, Nancy Grace and all the other places it’s going to end up,” Megerian said. “There is no need for it ... It can only cause harm and can’t do any good ... We certainly are going to argue that there is legal precedent for not releas-

ing it.” Amanda Martin, an attorney with Everette, Gaskins, Hancock & Stevens, said attorney Hugh Stevens, on behalf of The High Point Enterprise and several media outlets, will argue that the release of the videos would “help the public understand the complete context of what happened that morning and how or why Courtland Smith ended up being shot.” “It will help the public understand the district attorney’s decision not to pursue charges against the officers,” Martin said. “The video that was recorded gives an unbiased, completely neutral view of what took place in those few minutes.” dignasiak@hpe.com | 888-3657

WHITE CHRISTMAS

Snow may hit today. 1A BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – A white Christmas is rare in the Triad. Recent forecasts call for a snowy weekend and perhaps a repeat on Christmas Eve. But on average, it snows just one day in December in North Carolina. January and February bring more of the white stuff to the Triad, according to the NWS. Most forecasters are calling for below-normal temperatures and above-normal precipitation for the Triad. The winter should get progressively colder with best snow chances in February, next best in January and lowest in December, according to the NWS. After a number of years of La Nina or “neutral” Pacific Ocean temperature conditions, some experts say the El Nino pattern is stronger than

Snow: There is only a 10 percent chance of Christmas Day snowfall accumulating to 1 inch, according to the National Weather Service. Traces of snow fell on Christmas Day in central North Carolina in 1897, 1899, 1915, 1947, 1953, 1970, 1981, 1993, 1998 and 1999. Sleet and freezing rain were reported on Christmas in 1975. it has been for some time. Up to 8 inches of snow fell across portions of the Piedmont last winter, but none during the holidays. “We are getting prepared for this one,” said Jeff Idol of Southside Hardware on S. Main Street. “We have more ice melt and sleds on the way. We have sold a few sleds. The adults are getting prepared. We have not seen any children come in yet.” Not all prognosticators, including the Banner Elk woolly worm, have ruled out short episodes of snow. Folklore has it that the width or narrowness of the stripes on Banner Elk’s festival worm predict weather. Woolly worm Wilbur has predicted that the first

four weeks of winter, including Christmas, will be cold and snowy, with snow in week 11 and flurries in weeks 12 and 13. Old Farmer’s Almanac calls for no snow until late January. The Farmers’ Almanac calls for a cold snap in late January, but no snow. It predicts cold in early February with mountain snow. Ray’sWeather.com predicts one of the three snowiest winters since 1995-1996, with 110 percent of the long-term average snowfall and 155 percent of the 10-year average. Overall temperatures will be about 3 degrees less than average, according to the Web site.

Christmas Cheer Fund tops $22,000 ENTERPRISE STAFF REPORT

The 2009 Christmas Cheer Fund has received $3,035 today. That brings the total in donations to $22,494. This year’s goal is $35,000. The fund, operated by the Kiwanis Club of High Point, provides Christmas gifts for nearly 1,500 children identified by the Guilford County Department of Social Services. The campaign was started in 1924 by The High Point Enterprise as a campaign to raise money for needy families. “Local organizations, such as the Rotary, Kiwanis and Civitan clubs, are to aid in taking care of these families,” the Enterprise said in a front page article published Dec. 12, 1924. The initial campaign collected $848. The campaign has changed responsibility over the years. It was operated as an Empty Stocking Fund by the High Point Jaycees for about 30 years, after it was passed around between different private local residents and groups. When the last local nonprofit charitable organization owner, the late Benny Braica, retired in the late 1990s, the High Point Kiwanis Club took over what’s now called the Christmas Cheer Fund. This year’s distribution of gifts will be from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. Saturday at Mount Vernon Baptist Church, 716 Leonard Ave. Parents of eligible

children will be mailed vouchers that they can redeem for gifts. Donations should be made out to Christmas Cheer Fund and mailed to P.O. Box 5467, High Point, NC 27261. Today’s donors are:

SC killer appeals after execution date set COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A death row inmate whose execution date was set for next month has appealed his case in federal court. Defense attorney Bob Dudek said Thursday he filed the request to stay Quincy Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s execution. The appeal was filed hours after state prison officials set a Jan. 8 execution date and said Allen chose to die in the electric chair. Dudek says that will likely be delayed because Allen also has the potential for a state appeal remaining. The state Supreme Court refused Thursday to reconsider its decision to uphold Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death sentence. Allen killed four people across South Carolina and North Carolina in the summer of 2002. Authorities say he tried to escape from death row two weeks ago, stabbing a guard.

dent William Holden in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing.â&#x20AC;? Despite her heavily dramatic screen roles, Jones conveyed an aura of shyness, even aloofness offstage. She rarely gave interviews, explaining to a reporter in 1957: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most interviewers probe and pry into your personal life, and I just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it. I respect everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to privacy, and I feel mine should be respected, too.â&#x20AC;? Early in her career, Jones had become nearly as famous for her highprofile marriages as for her movie work. She met actor Robert Walker when both studied acting in New York, and they married and came to Hollywood, where her stardom ascended more rapidly than his. Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; boss, David O. Selznick, became obsessed with his star and spent much of his time promoting her career. They married four years after she divorced Walker in 1945.

Authorities seek Bearcat Bandit MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

HICKORY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; They call him the Bearcat Bandit because he regularly wears a jacket with the University of Cincinnati Bearcats logo on it, but he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wearing that one when he robbed the First Citizens Bank in Hickory on Tuesday. His jacket choice changes but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always wearing the same green hat and sunglasses in the photos taken of him during bank robberies across the state. Investigators say he robbed three banks Tuesday. He struck first at a Sun Trust Bank in Mocksville, then he hit a Wachovia Bank in Statesville and wrapped up his crime spree by robbing the First Citizens Bank in Hickory. The FBI says the Bearcat Bandit robbed another six banks in North and South Caro-

Oscar winner Jennifer Jones dead at 90 LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jennifer Jones, the beautiful, raven-haired actress who was nominated for Academy Awards five times, winning in 1943 for her portrayal of a saintly nun in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Song of Bernadette,â&#x20AC;? died Thursday. She was 90. Jones, who in later years was a leader of the Norton Simon Museum, died at her home in Malibu of natural causes, museum spokeswoman Leslie Denk told The Associated Press. Jones was the widow of the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founder, wealthy industrialist Norton Simon, and served as chair of the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of directors after his death. Known for her intense performances, Jones was one of Hollywoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest stars of the 1940s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s. Among her most memorable roles were the vixen who vamps rowdy cowboy Gregory Peck in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Duel in the Sun,â&#x20AC;? and the Eurasian doctor who falls for Korean War correspon-

lina in October and November. Investigators said the bandit used the same tactic in his Hickory robbery that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s used at his previous robberies. He handed the teller a note that said he had a bomb and directed her to take all of the money and place it on the counter, said Capt. Thurman Whisnant of the Hickory Police Department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say a word,â&#x20AC;? said Sgt. Brett Porter. The teller cooperated and the bandit left with an undisclosed amount of money and the note heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d given the teller, Whisnant said. The bandit doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show the tellers a gun or threaten he has one. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s described as a white male, in his late 40s to early 50s with a full beard. Anyone with information about the bandit or his robberies is asked to call the Hickory Police Department at 328-5551.

Winston-Salem company buys Crown Printing BY PAUL B. JOHNSON ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Crown Printing Co. Inc. closed its facility in High Point as part of its merger with a Winston-Salem printing and imaging company. Perry Clark, owner of Allegra Print & Imaging in Winston-Salem, this week announced the purchase of Crown Printing. The merger “brings all services under one roof at the Allegra facility located at 5059 Country Club Road,” Allegra indicates in a release. Former Crown Printing owner David Everhart and a pressman will stay on with Allegra as part of the transition, Clark said Thursday. “He had one other parttime graphics prepress person that is helping me part time with the transition,” Clark said. Allegra offers traditional and advanced printing technologies, including full-color printing, graphic design ser-

vices, short-run digital printing, color copying, finishing and mailing services, variable data capabilities and promotional products. “Allegra and Crown Printing share many of the same philosophies when it comes to providing our customers with leading-edge technologies and superior service,” Clark said. “The combined businesses are better positioned to serve the area business community with strategic solutions for their marketing and print communications.” Everhart said he intends to sell the Crown Printing building on W. Kivett Drive. Allegra’s operation in Winston-Salem is part of the Allegra Network, one of the world’s largest print and graphic communications franchises. The network links 550 locations in North America. pjohnson@hpe.com | 888-3528

Judge rules NC sex offender law unconstitutional PITTSBORO (AP) – A judge has declared a North Carolina law that limits sex offenders’ ability to worship unconstitutional. Superior Court Judge Allen Baddour ruled on Thursday that two parts of a North Carolina general

statute aimed at protecting children from child molesters are unconstitutionally vague and unconstitutionally overboard. Baddour said in his opinion the statues infringe on the constitutionally protected right to worship.

The decision comes after authorities arrested registered sex offender James Nichols in March for attending a Baptist church outside of Raleigh because the church provided onpremise childcare.

Christmas menu battle turns feast into food fight

ear Abby: My wife and I are involved in a power struggle with my brother. At Christmas we invite him and his family to our home. We try to make our Christmas dinner fun and festive, so a lot of planning goes into the menu. Every year, a day or two before the event, my brother calls to ask what’s on the menu, then offers his unwanted opinion on what we should or shouldn’t serve. Last year he told me he wouldn’t be able to enjoy the meal because we weren’t serving one of the items he feels is “traditional” in our family. He says he’s family so he’s entitled to make suggestions. When I was unwilling to accommodate his “simple” request, he got upset. I’m on the verge of not inviting his family in the future. Who is right? – Offended in Pennsylvania Dear Offended: You are. Your brother may be family, but his behavior is childish and impolite. When he calls this year and starts the drill, if he tells you he doesn’t think he will enjoy the meal if he can’t dictate the menu, serve him a dose of reality. Tell him that your menu is already set and if he wants something in addition he can prepare it and bring it with him – or make other plans. Dear Abby: When my in-laws moved to town, we exchanged keys in

case of emergencies. The problem is they never call prior to using our key. ADVICE Although they Dear do nice Abby things, like ■■■ dropping off gifts or plants, when I see something on the counter that wasn’t there before I left home, I feel invaded. They drop off these “presents” specifically when no one is home. Abby, they are retired and could drop things off when we are home and the children can see them and visit with them. I was taught not to use a key unless specifically instructed to do so or for an emergency. My neighbors and I have called regarding perishables that need to be dropped off, so why can’t family? My husband thinks my feelings are off base and that family is forgiven for almost everything. Please advise, as I am about to change the locks. – Invaded in Mississippi Dear Invaded: Before changing the locks, have a chat with your in-laws and explain that coming home and finding things that weren’t there when you left makes you uncomfortable. Tell them you would prefer they not come in without giving you prior notice. Your feelings are valid, and

your husband might feel similarly if it was your parents coming in rather than his. If your wishes are disregarded, then change the locks. Dear Abby: Please settle a dispute between me and my husband. I became upset when we were discussing an idea having to do with his job and he immediately began texting it to a co-worker. I find it offensive when someone looks at his (or her) cell phone rather than at me while we’re talking. My husband says if you text someone during a conversation that it’s not an interruption and “it only takes a second.” I say texting in the middle of any conversation is rude, regardless of its relevance of brevity. Please advise. – To Text Or Not To Text In Boulder, Colo. Dear T.T. Or Not T.T.: I agree with you. But if your husband doesn’t want to hear it from you, I guarantee he’ll resist accepting the message from me. I was raised with the premise that when in conversation, people should give each other their undivided attention and look each other in the eye. Taking “just a sec” to dash off a text – or read one – may be convenient, but it’s impolite to the person you’re with. 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.

The statute says offenders must stay 300 feet away from any area intended for the use, care of supervision of minors and any place where minors gather for regularly scheduled events.

MERRY CHRIST MAS TO ALL! S â&#x20AC;&#x2122; T W S

Christmas is a holiday with many traditions that are passed down over the years. Many families and cultures have their own special traditions during the holidays. Christmas traditions include celebrating the birth of Christ, hanging wreaths and holly, decorating cut ďŹ r trees, baking cookies and special foods, singing Christmas Carols, hanging strands of bright Christmas lights, sending out cards, exchanging gifts with loved ones, and preparing for Santa Claus. Some people associate snow with Christmas, and because it is usually cold where they live, it often snows in December. Many Christmas Carols mention people enjoying a â&#x20AC;&#x153;White Christmas.â&#x20AC;? Frosty the Snowman is a popular childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas character. In the Southern Hemisphere, where it is summer during our winter months, people still celebrate the holiday. Though it is not cold where they live, they still have traditions that make the season special. People also associate ďŹ r trees with Christmas. In ancient times, trees were used to symbolize life and warmth during the cold winter darkness. It has been said that the modern Christmas tree tradition was started in Germany in the Middle Ages. The tradition was then passed on to future generations and remains with us today. In Northern Europe, there was a festival that was held on December 21to celebrate that the shortest day of the year had passed. Perhaps the most exciting part of Christmas for children is the Legend of Saint Nick. This legend began several hundred years ago with Saint Nicholas, a man who was credited with performing many miracles. In Germany, he is known as Kris Kringle. In many other parts of the world, including the U.S., he is known as Santa Claus. His legend spread across Europe and then to the rest of the world, because he became famous for giving children gifts and performing miracles on Christmas Eve!

Family of missing Utah mom speaks out

NEW YORKâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; A man, his son and his grandson were found shot to death in an apartment in an upscale Manhattan neighborhood Thursday, with a female relative wounded and a fourth man, possibly the gunman, found dead in the backyard, police said. The three dead family members were found in the third-floor apartment, police said.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With global climate change talks at a critical juncture, President Barack Obama dashed to Copenhagen on Thursday evening to join more than 110 other world leaders looking to push an interim agreement across the finish line. Obama will be on hand for the final day of the two-week, 193-nation U.N. climate conference. But U.S.-China acrimony, a bitter divide between rich and poor nations and dissatisfaction with the U.S. emissions-reduction pledge clouded prospects for any agreement.

GARFIELD

Leg pain can be a sign of artery disease

ear Dr. Donohue: About four to six months ago, you wrote about pain in the calves. I suffer from this problem. Would you repeat the information for me? – V.G.

BLONDIE

The topic was peripheral artery disease, also called peripheral vascular disease. “Periphery,” when used here, refers to the arms and legs (mostly the legs). The buildup of plaque – cholesterol, fats and other materials – within leg arteries obstructs the flow of blood to leg muscles. The result is pain on exercise, since exercise requires an increased blood supply. Obstructed arteries can’t provide it. It’s as though a tight tourniquet is tied around the legs. Pain arises in areas downstream of the obstruction. If an artery high up in the legs is blocked, then the pain is felt in the buttocks, hips or thigh. If the obstruction is lower in the thigh, pain is felt in the calves, and that’s where many patients have their pain. Obstruction in arteries lower in the legs brings foot pain. When doctors examine the legs of people with peripheral artery disease, they can’t feel a pulse, as they can in normal people’s legs. One good test is blood pressure measurement at the ankle. Ordinarily, it should be the same as blood pressure in the arm. If ankle blood pressure is much lower than arm blood pres-

sure, that’s evidence of leg artery obstruction. The same kind of diet that HEALTH people with blocked Dr. Paul heart arterDonohue ies follow ■■■ should be the kind of diet for those with peripheral artery disease – one low in fat, high in grains, fruits and vegetables, and low in red meat. An exercise program is essential. People start out modestly by walking for five or 10 minutes. Walk to the point of pain, stop and then start again when the pain leaves. Progressively increase the time and pace of the walk. Aspirin, Pletal and Plavix are medicines frequently prescribed for this condition. Blood pressure and cholesterol have to be controlled. Procedures that replace the obstructed artery with a graft or open it with a balloon also are available. Dear Dr. Donohue: Please give me an answer. My son has had a lot of heart problems. He has a pacemaker and a defibrillator implanted in his chest. He passed out once and fell. When they checked, they said he had died and his defibrillator brought him back to life. How will he ever die if his defibrillator keeps working? It starts his heart again. – L.A.

A defibrillator doesn’t bestow immortality. It can end lethal heart rhythms, and it can jump-start a heart that has suddenly stopped, but it cannot keep a worn-out heart beating forever. People who have a defibrillator eventually die just as you and I will. They die from a heart that can no longer pump or from cancer, kidney failure, emphysema, infections and on and on – the same kinds of things we without a defibrillator face. Dear Dr. Donohue: Will you please discuss my problem of yawning way too much even though I have had enough sleep? I have asked four or five doctors, but they just say I am bored. That’s completely incorrect. – C.A. Yawning isn’t my favorite subject. Information on it is sorely lacking. It is associated with boredom and sleepiness, but not always. One suggested explanation is that yawning cools the brain. Does this sound as strange to you as it does to me? At any rate, the people who propose this theory say that ice applied to the head stops a person from yawning. A previous explanation was that it supplied the brain with oxygen. That isn’t true. It does keep the lungs’ air sacks (alveoli) open, and it might be a reflex to promote this action.

Drama plays out in Orange County on reality TV NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Peculiar things have been happening this season on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Real Housewives of Orange County.â&#x20AC;? Gretchen Rossi had a garage sale, Jeana Keough went shopping with her daughter at H&M and Tamra Barney is now doing her own housework. What? This is a dramatic turn from season three when Barneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband gave her a diamond Rolex for her 40th birthday, Vicky Gunvalson debated over buying a yacht (she decided against it) and Rossiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiance gave her a Harley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of them have been very much affected by the economic situation,â&#x20AC;? explains the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive producer, Douglas Ross.

In this publicity image released by Bravo (from left), Alexis Bellino, Jeana Keough, Gretchen Rossi, Vicki Gunvalson, Lynne Curtin and Tamra Barney, from â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Real Housewives of Orange County,â&#x20AC;? are shown. This means the downsizing weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing on camera is not just for show. A number of the cast members were involved in real estate thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been on a downslide the past two years. And this season, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see Lynne Curtinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family get evicted from their Laguna Beach home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to treat it as gently but as honestly as

we can,â&#x20AC;? Ross says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We happened to have been there with our cameras ... as part of our normal schedule when they were served the eviction notice. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those great reality TV moments that happened to be caught because we were in the right place at the right time.â&#x20AC;? Money is a sensitive subject and some people

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even reality TV stars â&#x20AC;&#x201C; may not want to expose their financial struggles to millions of people. But the housewives donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to mind sharing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they even fancy themselves as an inspiration to others in similar situations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps people across the nation because they realize itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just them,â&#x20AC;? says Keough.

Wolfpack holds off Phoenix

RALEIGH (AP) — Tracy Smith scored 13 of his 21 points in the second half — including two key baskets in the final 90 seconds — that helped North Carolina State rally past Elon 79-76 on Thursday night. Dennis Horner scored a career-high 23 points for the Wolfpack (8-1), who turned in an unimpressive performance in its final game before an early start to Atlantic Coast Conference play. N.C. State trailed by as many as 11 points in the first half and didn’t push ahead for good until the final 6 minutes, then had to hang on until the buzzer. Smith’s three-point play put the Wolfpack in front with 5:25 to play. He then came through with a layup and a turn-

around shot over Adam Constantine for a 73-68 lead with 45.9 seconds left. Constantine scored a career-high 26 points for Elon (3-8), which had a chance for a desperation 3-pointer to tie it but couldn’t get the shot off in time on the final play. Elon built some confidence with a strong start behind Constantine, who reached his 10-point scoring average in the first 11 1/2 minutes and helped the Phoenix lead by as many as 11 points in the opening half. Elon didn’t let up either, repeatedly answering surges from the Wolfpack with some clutch baskets that helped it to a 61-57 lead with 6:45 to play. But eventually, N.C. State did what it was supposed to.

Henry dies of injuries CHARLOTTE (AP) — Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry died Thursday, a day after falling out of the back of a pickup truck during what police said was a domestic dispute with his fiancee. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said Henry died at 6:36 a.m. Henry was 26. “We knew him in a different way than his public persona,” Bengals owner Mike Brown said of the player who was suspended five times during his career. “He had worked through the troubles in his life and had finally seemingly reached the point where everything was going to blossom.” Police spokeswoman Ro-

Henry

salyn Harrington said homicide detectives have been assigned to the case but had no further infor-

mation. Later Thursday, police released two 911 tapes. The first was from an unidentified woman who said she was following a yellow pickup truck. “It’s got a black man on it with no shirt on, and he’s got his arm in a cast and black pants on,” she told a dispatcher. “He’s beating on the back of this truck window. ...

he’s trying to break in or something. It just looks crazy. It’s a girl driving it.” Just over a minute later, an unidentified man called 911 and said he saw a man “laying in the road” and “definitely unconscious.” Henry was rushed to the hospital early Wednesday afternoon after being found on a curvy section of a residential road. Police said the dispute began at a home about a half-mile away, and Henry jumped into the bed of the pickup as his fiancee was driving away from the residence. Police said at some point when she was driving, Henry “came out of the back of the vehicle.”

WHO: High Point (4-5) vs. Longwood (3-8) WHAT: Women’s basketball game WHERE: Millis Center (1,750), High Point WHEN: 7 p.m. AUDIO: http://www.HighPointPanthers.com OF NOTE: This is the last game in a three-game home stand for the Panthers, who return to action for the first time since defeating UNC Wilmington on Francis Fields shot at the buzzer Saturday. Longwood has defeated Utah Valley, Texas-Pan American and Campbell. The Lancers return two starters and seven letter winners from a squad that went just 8-21 in 2008-09, led by senior guard Becky Fernandes, LU’s leading scorer last season at 8.9 ppg. In Longwood’s last game, the Lancers outscored Campbell by 12 in the second half to pick up the 72-55 win. HPU last defeated Longwood in 2007. The Lancers prevailed on their home floor last year.

Patrick chooses to make Nationwide debut at California MOORESVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Danica Patrick will ease her way into NASCAR by skipping the Nationwide Series opener at Daytona International Speedway in favor of a lessstressful debut one week later at California. The IndyCar star is still working on piecing together a 13-race schedule for JR Motorsports in NASCAR’s second-tier series, but announced Thursday she’s marked the Feb. 20 race at Auto Club Speedway for her debut. JR Motorsports also will field a car for Patrick in the Feb. 27 race at Las Vegas. Although Patrick will make her stock-car debut in the Feb. 6 ARCA opener at Daytona, she will not attempt the Nationwide race. The opener is usually stacked with NASCAR’s top talent, and Sprint Cup drivers have won nine of the last 10 Nationwide races at Daytona. The lone exception? Martin Truex Jr., who won in 2005 in JR Motorsports car. “The race is basically a Cup race, some 30

You only get one grand opening, so I’ve heard. We want it to be the right opportunity.” Patrick made her first appearance with new boss Dale Earnhardt Jr. since announcing a

two-year contract last week to try NASCAR for JR Motorsports, the team owned in combination by Rick Hendrick, Earnhardt, his sister, Kelley, and their cousin, Tony Eury Jr. Sitting on a stage at JR Motorsports flanked by her new team, she fielded questions from reporters before it was opened up to two preselected fans in attendance, as well as one question submitted through Facebook. “I don’t ever think I’ve seen as much power up on stage in NASCAR as I do today,” Kelley Earnhardt said. She wasn’t lying. This partnership combines the most marketable drivers in America’s top two racing series, and with it will come a tremendous amount of attention. Patrick, who is used to a low-key IndyCar schedule, joked that she might have to by a private plane since there were race fans waiting for her when she landed at the Charlotte airport.

HIT AND RUN

ollege basketball fans get an early Christmas present on Saturday with a pair of great matchups. No. 10 North Carolina (8-2) battles second-ranked Texas (9-0) before a Texas-sized crowd at Cowboys Stadium. That game tips at 2 p.m. and will be televised by ESPN. At 4 p.m., seventh-rated Duke (8-1) tangles with No. 15 Gonzaga (8-2) at historic Madison Square Garden. That game will be televised by CBS (WFMY, Ch. 2 locally). I can’t wait.

76 72

Let’s face it. Most big-time basketball programs stuff their pre-Christmas stockings with the Texas-Pan Americans and the IPFWs and the Northern Arizonas of the world. It’s a holiday feast of hoops cupcakes. These games provide needed tuneups for the big boys and welcome paychecks for the little guys. It’s a win-win for all parties involved. Well, the big boys almost always get the win, but you get my point. That’s what makes contests such as UNC-

Texas and Duke-Gonzaga so special. Heavyweight showdowns like this generally feature an NCAA Tournament-style atmosphere. It’s a terrific early season gage of where teams from different regions stack up against each other. Plus, it’s a ton of fun to watch. Thanks Santa for bringing us such an amazing gift on Dec. 19. Of course, we’re still open to more gifts six days later...

West Virginia assistant coach John “Doc” Holliday has signed a five-year contract to coach at Marshall, Thundering Herd athletic director Mike Hamrick said Thursday. Hamrick says Holliday will be paid $600,000 per season. The school has scheduled a news conference for 2 p.m. Thursday to introduce Holliday. Holliday replaces Mark Snyder, who resigned Nov. 29 after going 22-37 in five seasons. Known as a solid recruiter in the state of Florida, Holliday, 52, becomes a head coach for the first time after three decades as an assistant, most of them with the Mountaineers. He has the task of restoring respectability to a program that hasn’t had a winning season since 2003. Holliday also must deal with skeptics at Marshall who loath his longtime ties with cross-state foe West Virginia. In tight financial times, he’ll also have to tackle the issue of Marshall’s lack of an indoor practice facility. Marshall saw a steady decline in attendance under Snyder. Marshall’s stadium was half empty for its final three home games.

PGA commissioner believes Tour will survive without Woods PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said golf will survive no matter how long Tiger Woods stays away to sort out his personal life, and that a portrait of “gloom and doom” is misleading. In the midst of a shocking sex scandal, Woods is taking an indefinite leave from competition to try to save his marriage, leaving the sport without its biggest star while it continues to cope with a downturn in the economy. “I want him to come back and play,” Finchem said Thursday in a conference call. “But we are going to be successful in ’10. If Tiger is out for a couple of months or eight months of a year, we’re going to

have a successful year. ... It won’t be at the same levels without our No. 1 player, there’s no question about that. No sport would be at the same level without its No. 1 player. “But I think the doom and gloom needs to go away.” Finchem said six of the highest-performing tournaments, which he based on net revenue donated to charity, have not had Woods in the field during the last several years. He also said the cumulative number of viewers during a PGA Tour event did not decrease even when Woods missed the second half of 2008 with knee surgery. “I’m not saying that I think everything

is fine,” Finchem said. “We’re in a down economy. It’s hard to sell. And having the No. 1 player in our sport not play is not a positive thing, and it does hurt television ratings. But I look at it in the reverse. I look at Tiger spiking ratings off of a significantly solid base when he plays ... and I want that spike. And I certainly want the attention he brings to the sport.” The attention has shifted dramatically since a Nov. 27 car accident outside his Florida home, setting off sensational details of extramarital affairs that have tarnished sports’ biggest star. Finchem said it was the biggest “curveball” he has dealt with in his 15 years as commissioner.

Gonzaga standout may not play against Duke

Swine flu shuts down practice ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Rams canceled practice Thursday due to an undisclosed number of swine flu cases on the team, just three days before a home game against the Houston Texans. Coach Steve Spagnuolo would not say how many players had the illness but said five or six players had flulike symptoms, and added that other players had reported symptoms the last few weeks. He anticipated the Rams would return to practice on Friday with a workout that will incorporate some of the elements missed on Thursday. “It’s really more of a precaution than anything,” Spagnuolo said. Players were seen driving away from Rams Park shortly before noon after consulting with medical staff. Team spokesman Ted Crews said players received medication before leaving. Two players, quarterback Kyle Boller and center Jason Brown, missed practice Wednesday and Spagnuolo said both players had flulike symptoms. Spagnuolo first reported Brown’s illness on Monday, but Brown was back with the team Thursday and had been expected to practice before the team decided to send players home.

Dunn buys into Falcons FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) — Former Atlanta Falcons running back Warrick Dunn is buying a piece of the team. The Falcons announced Thursday that Dunn, who retired after the 2008 season, has an agreement to become the team’s seventh limited partner. The purchase was unanimously approved by NFL owners on Wednesday and is expected to be completed by March 1.

“I can’t think of anything else that was more of a curveball,” Finchem said during a brief break from media interviews. “Just the magnitude of it. I can’t recall an individual in politics, entertainment, sports, with this level of focus that it’s generating in the media. Everybody is talking about it. My 17-year-old daughter comes home from school, they’re talking about it in the classroom. “I’ve often said that up until (President Barack) Obama, he was the most recognized guy on the planet, and everybody thought he was perfect. The realization that he’s not is huge news.” Finchem said the tour had no input on Woods’ decision to step away.

Redskins hire new GM

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — The Washington Redskins overhauled their front office Thursday morning, hiring Bruce Allen as general manager after the resignation of Vinny Cerrato. Allen becomes the first person hired by owner Dan Snyder to hold the general manager title, a notable milestone after a decade of various front office arrangements that usually centered around Snyder and his good friend Cerrato. But changes were needed for a team that is 4-9 this season, and

Cerrato has been widely criticized for his roster decisions since getting the title of executive vice president of football operations two years ago. Snyder is also expected to be hiring a new coach in a few weeks, and Allen could be the bridge to that change as well. The son of legendary Redskins coach George Allen, Bruce Allen was the general manager for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for five seasons. He and Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden were fired in January, and the pair could renew their asso-

ciation if current coach Jim Zorn is fired as the end of the season. “Bruce Allen is the personification of an NFL winner,” Snyder said in a statement released by the team. “Our fans know his heritage; we know his abilities. He is the right person to lead our club.” Tampa Bay won two division championships under Allen. He previously worked for nine years in the Oakland Raiders front office. The Redskins said Allen would begin work immediately.

Panthers’ corner puts Favre on pedestal CHARLOTTE (AP) — Carolina Panthers rookie cornerback Captain Munnerlyn can barely contain his enthusiasm this week. It’s not often NFL players get a chance to play against their childhood hero. Munnerlyn was only 3-years-old when Brett Favre was drafted into the NFL by the Atlanta Falcons, but Munnerlyn has been a fan ever since he can remember and can tell you all about Green Bay’s glory days. He wore a Favre’s green and gold No. 4 jersey until the number began

to fade off from being washed so many times and kept his Packers Starter jacket handy for colder days growing up in Mobile, Ala. “You want to know the truth, that’s my favorite player,” Munnerlyn said, the excitement growing in his voice. “Growing up, he always was. My friends have been calling me. They marked this game on the calendar. Oh man, I love Brett Favre. Like for real, seriously.” On Sunday night, Munnerlyn will get a chance to play against Favre — and possibly even start

— when the Panthers host the Minnesota Vikings on national television. With starting cornerback Richard Marshall missing his second straight day of practice on Thursday with an ankle injury, Munnerlyn, the team’s impressive young nickel back, could get tossed into the starting lineup. “I hope I don’t get starstruck when he’s under center. I don’t want to be out there playing and be like, ’Man, this is Brett Favre!’ and he’s like, ’Hike!”’ Munnerlyn said with a laugh.

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — It’s not clear whether leading scorer Matt Bouldin will be recovered enough from a head injury to play when No. 15 Gonzaga faces No. 7 Duke in Madison Square Garden on Saturday. Bouldin, who averages nearly 17 points per game, bumped heads with Augustana’s Troy Rorer in the first half of their game on Dec. 9. He sat out the rest of that game and also the game against Davidson on Dec. 12, which the Zags won 103-91 Bouldin said he is feeling better. “It really gets down to as long as I’m feeling better, I’m sure I’ll be able to go,” Bouldin said. Gonzaga (8-2) will need him against the prolific offense of Duke (8-1), which is play-

ing its annual game in the Garden. Bouldin is one of only a handful of veterans on a young Gonzaga team and is the only player left who played on the team that lost to Duke in Madison Square Garden on Dec. 21, 2006. He had four points, four rebounds and four assists in that game. “Not many programs have a chance to play with Duke,” coach Mark Few said. “We welcome that, and now we have to play probably close to great to be able to get it done.” The Zags have been playing well in what had been expected to be a rebuilding year, with wins over Wisconsin, No. 25 Cincinnati and Washington State. Their losses are to No. 12 Michigan State and Wake Forest by tiny margins.

Grizzlies eye title to finish unbeaten season CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — Villanova coach Andy Talley sometimes wears his national championship ring while on recruiting trips — his basketball national championship ring, that is. The ring was a gift from the school’s basketball team when he was hired in 1985 to rebuild the football program. Twenty-five seasons later, Talley and the Wildcats finally have their first shot at winning the school’s first Football Championship Subdivision title when they face Montana on Friday night in Chattanooga. The second-ranked Wildcats (13-1) couldn’t

have picked a more dominant opponent. “I think they’ve won something like 3,000 conference championships in a row,” Talley joked about Montana on Thursday. “They are the only show in town in Montana, and people rally around it much like people do in Pennsylvania with Penn State. We suffer from being in the suburbs in Philadelphia. I think this could have a bigger impact on the Villanova nation.” Actually, the Grizzlies (14-0) have won just 12 Big Sky Conference titles in a row, but they’re undefeated for the second time in three seasons after losing last year’s title game to Richmond.

A-Rod won’t require more surgery NEW YORK (AP) — Alex Rodriguez is all set to start his winter workouts. The New York Yankees star found out this week that his surgically repaired right hip is holding up fine. “Great news,” he said Thursday.

Rodriguez had surgery last March for torn cartilage and missed the first month of the season. At the time, Dr. Marc Philippon, who performed the operation, thought Rodriguez would need a more extensive procedure in the offseason.

Stocks fall as dollar gains NEW YORK (AP) – A stronger dollar and disappointing corporate news muscled stocks lower Thursday over concerns that the economy will struggle to recover. Major stock indexes slid 1 percent Thursday, including the Dow Jones industrial average, which fell 133 points for its third straight loss. Treasury prices jumped. The dollar climbed to a three-month high against the euro, a sign investors were seeking safety. Investor confidence was further sapped as Citigroup Inc. sold stock at a steep discount as part of a plan to repay government loans and a forecast from FedEx Corp. fell short of expectations. More downbeat news came in on the economy as the government reported

an unexpected rise in unemployment claims. The number of new jobless claims rose to 480,000 last week, up 7,000 from the previous week. The Dow fell 132.86, or 1.3 percent, to 10,308.26. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 13.10, or 1.2 percent, to 1,096.08, and the Nasdaq composite index fell 26.89, or 1.2 percent, to 2,180.05. Bond prices jumped, pushing yields lower. The yield on the benchmark 10year Treasury note fell to 3.48 percent from 3.60 percent late Wednesday. The ICE Futures U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of foreign currencies, rose 1 percent. Gold rose, while crude oil dropped 1 cent to settle at $72.65 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

long search complicated by pay restrictions imposed by government pay czar Kenneth Feinberg before the bank repaid $45 billion of federal bailout loans needed to prevent its failure over the past year. “I am pleased that it’s finally over,” said Nancy Bush, managing member of NAB Research LLC in Annandale, New Jersey. Bush said there will be divergent opinions both on Wall Street and within the bank about Moynihan, but overall, she feels it was the smart move. “My concern about bring-

ing in an external candidate was that somebody would come in and feel the need to put their stamp on the company through a restructuring or through a period of turbulence,” she said. “The bank just doesn’t need that right now. An internal candidate who knows the players and who knows what needs to be done ... is probably a wiser choice at this point.” Analysts have said outside candidates likely would have wanted to break up the company, something Bank of America’s board reportedly is reluctant to do. “Brian’s wide range of

experience, his relationships inside and outside of the company, and his demonstrated ability to understand business dynamics and effect constructive change made him the best person for the position,” said Bank of America Chairman Walter E. Massey, who led the CEO search. Massey said that while the bank did consider external candidates, the board decided that Moynihan’s experience was as good or better, “and he offered the advantage of a smooth transition.”

Senate panel clears Bernanke nomination cism on the Fed chief. In voting for Bernanke, the panel’s chairman, Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., said Bernanke’s “wise leadership” will mean “better days do lie ahead.” Although Bernanke, 56, appears to have enough votes in the Senate to win a second term, six Republicans and one Democrat on the committee did line up against him. They blame him for

not spotting problems that led to the financial crisis, failing to protect consumers and supporting Wall Street bailouts. Bernanke’s nomination comes at the height of public anger toward the Fed. Many ordinary Americans were disgusted by the Wall Street bailouts and hefty bonuses paid to employees of those rescued companies, while Main Street con-

WASHINGTON (AP) – A Senate panel on Thursday approved the nomination of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to run the nation’s central bank for another four years.

CHARLOTTE (AP) – Bank of America’s new CEO says he doesn’t expect to lead a major shift in strategy at America’s largest bank when he takes over from Ken Lewis on Jan. 1. But with loan losses continuing to mount amid double-digit unemployment rates, it remains to be seen whether investors will embrace staying the course. Bank of America’s board late Wednesday named its 50-year-old consumer and small business banking chief, Brian Moynihan, as president and CEO. The promotion ended a months-

In turn, legislation in Congress would rein in the Fed’s powers, and a House-passed provision would subject the Fed to an audit by congressional investigators. The opposition to Bernanke came from an odd coalition of liberals and conservatives.

GM names new head of Buick, GMC brands DETROIT (AP) – General Motors Co. on Thursday named Brian K. Sweeney, a 20-year company veteran, to head its Buick and GMC brands. Sweeney replaces Michael Richards, who abruptly left the company on Dec. 10 after just eight days on the job.

British Airways wins order barring strike LONDON (AP) – British Airways has won an emergency court injunction to stop a 12-day strike by its cabin crew, bringing relief to around one million travelers whose Christmas holiday plans were threatened by the planned walkout. The High Court backed BA’s claim that the ballot of around 13,000 workers by the Unite labor union was illegal because it included members no longer employed by the airline. That meant that Unite had to call off the strike.

Natural gas jumps, oil drops NEW YORK (AP) – Natural gas prices jumped Thursday after the government reported that supplies fell by the largest amount ever for this time of year as frigid weather chilled parts of the Midwest and Northeast. A wintry mix of rain and snow kept heaters cranked on high, consuming large stores of natural gas in some of the country’s largest markets like Chicago. Meanwhile, benchmark crude for January delivery gave up 65 cents to $72.01 a barrel. In London, Brent crude for February delivery fell $1.21 to $73.08 on the ICE Futures exchange.

Reports point to gradual recovery WASHINGTON (AP) — A report on unemployment claims and a forecast of U.S. economic activity pointed Thursday to an economy mending slowly, without the job growth needed to fuel a vigorous recovery. The number of newly laid-off workers filing claims for unemployment benefits unexpectedly rose last week. But the four-week average for jobless claims, which smooths out fluctuations, fell. That was an encouraging sign that the labor market is gradually improving. The four-week average is now at its lowest point since late Sep-

tember 2008, when the financial crisis hit with full force. Separately, a forecast of economic activity rose for the eighth straight month in November, a private research group said, signaling the economic rebound will continue into next year. Still, employers across the country remain reluctant to ramp up hiring. “People who have already lost their job are having incredible difficulty finding a job,” Dan Greenhaus, an economist at Miller Tabak, said in a research note Thursday.

Pepsi won’t advertise in Super Bowl MILWAUKEE (AP) — Pepsi will not advertise its drinks in the upcoming Super Bowl, ending a 23year run so the company can focus on a new marketing effort that will appear mostly online. Pepsi beverages have been advertised in the Super Bowl since 1987. FritoLay, a unit of parent company PepsiCo Inc., will still advertise. The company, which is based in Purchase, N.Y., wouldn’t say how much it spent last year on Super Bowl ads, but it was one of the biggest advertisers, buy-

ing several minutes of commercial time. Ad time last year cost about $3 million for 30 seconds, on average. The Feb. 7 NFL championship game will be televised on CBS. Package delivery company FedEx also said Thursday it will not advertise again in the Super Bowl due to costs, the same reason the company gave last year for sitting it out. Pepsi recognizes Super Bowl ads can be effective for marketing, spokeswoman Nicole Bradley said, but the game doesn’t work with the company’s goals next year.

Winnebago losses shrink as sales rise

Alex Ponce scans packages at a FedEx facility in the Queens borough of New York on Monday.

FedEx issues cautious forecast NEW YORK (AP) — FedEx offered a tepid outlook Thursday for the quarter that ends in February, after reporting fiscal second-quarter results fell 30 percent from a year ago. Although the package delivery company expects a modest economic recovery to continue next year,

FedEx said “there is some uncertainty regarding the sustainability of current demand trends after our peak shipping season.” The company, based in Memphis, Tenn., predicts earnings of 50 to 70 cents per share in the third quarter, well under analysts’ expectations of 84 cents per share.

But despite the cautious near-term forecast, the company sees many economic indicators turning positive. CEO Fred Smith said in a conference call that he believes the U.S. economy “reached a turning point” during the company’s second fiscal quarter, which went from September to November.

FOREST CITY, Iowa – Recreation vehicle maker Winnebago Industries Inc. continued to lose money in its fiscal first quarter, though its net loss narrowed from a year ago as the RV market showed signs of improvement. The company said Thursday its order backlog more than quadrupled during the quarter, while dealer inventory fell 52 percent. Its loss was smaller than analysts expected, sending shares climbing in morning trading. “While the economic environment, the availability of credit and the level of retail demand remain tenuous, we believe that dealer inventory has finally bottomed out,” CEO Bob Olson said in a statement.

Built in the 1920s, Chinqua Penn Plantation in Reidsville hosts holiday and candlelight tours through Jan. 3.

DINNER BOOSTS NCCJ The 43rd Brotherhood/Sisterhood Citation Award Dinner held by the National Conference for Community and Justice of the Piedmont Triad in November drew nearly 1,000 sponsors and donors and raised more than $232,000, topping the fundraising goal by 8 percent, according to Amanda Osborne, director of development and communications. Theme for the event was “Living the Golden Rule,” commonly known as, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” NCCJ honored Rabbi Fred Guttman and the Rev. Dr. Mark R. Sills, both of whom have lived the Golden Rule by furthering NCCJ’s mission to fight bias, bigotry and racism. NCCJ Board Chairwoman Pat Cross says the organization is planning an aggressive array of programs for 2010, including a strategic partnership with Guilford County Schools to train middle- and high-school students across the county in cross-cultural understanding and unity.

EIDSVILLE – A holiday tradition born way back in the 1920s continues this month and next at Reidsville’s elegant Chinqua Penn Plantation. The plantation’s annual holiday and candlelight tours, highlighting Chinqua Penn’s many themed Christmas trees and other decorations, began Thanksgiving weekend and will continue through Jan. 3. “The whole house is decorated,” says Amy Huber, tours coordinator at Chinqua Penn. “I think there are about 25 trees in the house, with a different theme in each room.” Consider, for example, the peacock tree. “We have peacocks on the property, so we have a tree full of peacock feathers,” Huber explains, adding that the tree has other bird-oriented decorations as well. Other trees on display in the 27-room mansion include one in the mud room that features more primitive ornaments such as handmade pine-cone orna-

In addition, hundreds of live poinsettias are on display throughout the house, and holiday lights and decorations have been installed across the 22 acres of grounds. Candlelight tours, which feature live entertainment, also include a display of luminaries in front of the plantation. “It’s just the most beautiful it has been in years this year,” Huber says. “They worked really hard on it. They began about the first of October and finished up around Thanksgiving night.” Co-owner Lisa Phelps, who bought Chinqua Penn from the state with her husband, Calvin, in 2006, oversees the decorations each year, according to Huber. According to Phelps, the holiday tours uphold the tradition set by Chinqua Penn’s original owners, Thomas and Beatrice Penn, who built the estate in the 1920s with the idea of grandly entertaining their friends, family and business associates. jtomlin@hpe.com | 888-3579

Randolph Hospital is again bringing the QuitSmart smoking cessation program to area residents who wish to gain freedom from the three chains that bind smokers to cigarettes and tobacco-products: physical addiction, habit and emotional dependence. The three-part series will be held on Jan. 5, 19 and 26 at 6:30 p.m. at Randolph Hospital. Participants will learn several proven techniques to ease off nicotine, as well as decide if they need medication and ultimately break the habit of smoking. To overcome psychological dependence on cigarettes, QuitSmart teaches positive thinking, decision-firming techniques and hypnosis. Most smokers try to quit cold turkey using willpower alone. To overcome physical withdrawal symptoms, QuitSmart has smokers quit “warm chicken.” Nicotine addiction is reduced gradually by switching each week to cigarettes at 40 to 50 percent less nicotine. Additionally, QuitSmart teaches positive thinking, decision-firming techniques and hypnosis. The classes will be held in the conference room of the Home Health Building at 341 N. Fayetteville St. in Asheboro. The classes are free and funded through a grant from the Randolph Hospital Community Health Foundation. For more information or to register, call (336) 629-8836 or visit www. randolph hospital.org.

BRIDGE Unlucky Louie went to a Christmas tree farm to buy his tree. “I got a great deal,” he told me. “I found a nice spruce and got a threeyear extended warranty on it for only $10 more.” “Maybe next time you can get a tree, batteries included,” I remarked. As you’d gather, Louie is easily taken in. He was today’s East, and dummy’s jack won the first heart. Declarer, after a little thought, led the deuce of diamonds from dummy: four, jack. West ducked smoothly, keeping his entry, but South figured out what was happening and led a diamond to the king. When Louie’s queen fell, South led another diamond and made overtricks.

Cops have jolly good time in Christmas video MADISON, Wis. (AP) – The Christmas spirit seems to be in full swing at a police department in Wisconsin. Kenosha police officers have made a Christmas video that features their version of “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” The cops sing about gifts from

their chief that include bullets, guns, jelly doughnuts, night shifts and coffee breaks. One officer is shown with his feet up on a desk sipping coffee. Another is sitting in front of a box of doughnuts, his nose and cheek smeared with jelly. A blurb on the depart-

LIFE&STYLE THE HIGH POINT ENTERPRISE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2009 www.hpe.com

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little e-mail etiquette between friends? article that I felt was important. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t send anything of a political nature anymore A DADâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S to those friends who POINT think the OF VIEW â&#x20AC;&#x153;other way,â&#x20AC;? but even Bruce many of my Sallan like-minded â&#x2013; â&#x2013; â&#x2013; friends have asked me to stop sending them e-mails of a non-personal nature. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to check on how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing, make plans to get

together, wish someone a happy birthday, or the like, it is fine. Just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t send them that health-care column by a noted writer or something dealing with the Middle East. I am passionate in everything I do, so when my friends react this way, it hurts and disappoints. Most everyone knows where the delete button is and, if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s respect for the person sending such an e-mail, how difficult is it to peruse a few sentences to see if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of interest. Then, if it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grab you, just hit â&#x20AC;&#x153;delete.â&#x20AC;? I have fought this for too long and am

throwing in the towel. Now, I just send out those sorts of e-mail to the muchreduced list of friends and family who welcome them. Our children are growing up with this and other technology, and it will all be a part of their lives hereafter. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have memories of 8-track tapes, reel-to-reel recording tape, LPs or transistor radios. To them, early cellphones were big and clunky. So, I will bet as e-mail and other new-tech etiquette evolve, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll evolve with it. But for my generation, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a struggle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the way my parents could never learn

to program their video tape recorder or store a phone number in a cellphone.

-mail is so ubiquitous that we forget that it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talking on the phone or having a conversation in person. Subtlety, facial expressions and tonality are lost in e-mail messages. This has gotten me in trouble when I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m being funny or sarcastic in an e-mail. And, the habit many of us have of forwarding a joke, photo or an article often creates even greater problems. I think e-mail should probably be treated as Eliza Doolittle was advised in â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Fair Ladyâ&#x20AC;? about making conversation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stick to the weather and healthâ&#x20AC;? was Professor Higginsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s caution. Even that proved problematic as Eliza went into too much embarrassing detail about her own familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health, before she completely blew it with her expletive encouraging one of the racehorses to â&#x20AC;&#x153;move your bloominâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ass!â&#x20AC;? I read recently that e-mail, like so many new technological innovations, may be receding in popularity among the younger generation in favor of instant messaging (on cellphones and computers) or â&#x20AC;&#x153;tweetingâ&#x20AC;? via Twitter, which is limited to 140 characters of text. Acronyms are the norm, and the list of these short cuts, like â&#x20AC;&#x153;ttylâ&#x20AC;? (talk to you later) or â&#x20AC;&#x153;btwâ&#x20AC;? (by the way), just keep growing and growing. Correspondence, like in the days of pen and ink, has gone the way of the horse and buggy. But, e-mail is its own special creature, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found it rampant with potential misunderstandings and strains on relationships. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell you how many times Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been stung by an e-mail reply to something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sent out that I felt that person might really enjoy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or maybe, God forbid, learn something from. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My badâ&#x20AC;? to quote my son as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m learning that almost no one but those closest to you want such e-mail. For me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning new behavior, rules and etiquette. And, there are actually some new rule books, though for me itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been mostly learning by trial and error. An early book on this subject is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Send: The Essential Guide to Email for Office and Homeâ&#x20AC;? by David Shipley and Will Schwalbe. Amazon.comâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s review said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Funny, engaging and oh-so-practical, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is the ultimate etiquette handbook for email, making David Shipley and Will Schwalbe the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Miss Mannersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; resource for the digital age. Full of practical insights, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is an invaluable resource for anyone who uses e-mail, and is guaranteed to help you â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;think before you click.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just not sure I want to consult it for every decision regarding e-mail. My wife prefers to talk vs. using e-mail. When weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re apart, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to put a sentence or two in an e-mail, especially if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a simple question. This is a case where I must take into consideration her feelings and pick up the phone and call. My boys, on the other hand, totally ignore my e-mail but respond instantly to a text message. My younger son is truly glued to his cellphone as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s messaging his friends constantly. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing. I never see him on the phone unless itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fellow classmate calling about a homework issue or problem. He also doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make as many play dates as when he was in elementary school, though he clearly has many friends. Is this emblematic of the times? As for me, my biggest disappointment has been the reactions some friends to email that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sent with an
