We'd like to welcome you to 2013. We have high hopes for this year and are hoping that it behaves better than its predecessor.

Justin Bieber and The Rhino go way back, which is one reason The Rhino has some tickets to give away for Justin's show at the Greensboro Coliseum on Jan. 19. If you would like to enter the drawing to win two tickets to see Justin, complete with VIP parking, go to rhinotimes.com, look for the box that says "Enter to Win Free Tickets" and follow the directions. Good luck.

All newspapers make mistakes. It's the price you pay for deadlines, but we do hate it when we make the same mistake again and again. Former High Point Mayor Arnold Koonce called this week to remind us that he served two terms as mayor. We know this and we don't know how we missed it, but somehow the mistake that he served one term snuck back into the paper. We are going to do our best to make sure that when we refer to former High Point Mayor Arnold Koonce we will refer to him as Arnold Koonce, mayor of High Point from 1999 to 2003.

Speaking of newspapers and mistakes, the editor of the News & Record, Jeff "Grits" Gauger, has lived in this area less than a year. He can't be blamed for not knowing much about Greensboro. But really, the headline above the fold on a Sunday newspaper announcing to the area that there is a major gun manufacturing in the piedmont is a little much. It may have been news to some of the new folks in town, and it was a big deal when they moved here in 1996, but it was not news to those of us who have lived here more than a few months.
