A fundraiser for 12-year-old Piqua student Dylan Blair is set for Saturday, in Bradford. Dylan is fighting medulloblastoma. Medulloblastomas are tumors in the cerebellum and one of the most common malignant central nervous system tumors in children.

‘Do It For Dylan’ Benefit will help family pay mounting medical expenses BY WILL E SANDERS Civitas Media wsanders@dailycall.com

Flu hurts businesses WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly half the 70 employees at a Ford dealership in Clarksville, Ind., have been out sick at some point in the past month. It didn’t have to be that way, the boss says. “If people had stayed home in the first place, a lot of times that spread wouldn’t have happened,” says Marty Book, a vice president at Carriage Ford. “But people really want to get out and do their jobs, and sometimes that’s a detriment.” See Business,

Twelve-year-old Piqua student Dylan Blair enjoys most things boys his age enjoy, such as video games, airplanes and helicopters, and being outdoors. But unlike most adventurous 12-year-old boys, Dylan suffers from a malignant brain tumor,

PIQUA which is why his parents and their friends and family decided to host a truly-one-of-a-kind benefit in his honor to assist with medical costs associated with his condition, treatment and additional surgeries.

Sandy relief package swells aid for past disasters

Why attend auto show? DETROIT (AP) — Why go to a crowded auto show when you can glimpse dozens of new models on the internet? Because you can’t catch a whiff of that new car smell through your iPhone. Photos can’t re-create the smell of leather seats or the smooth feel of a hood. At this year’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit, which opens to the public Jan. 19, visitors can see 500 cars and trucks spread over 18 carpeted acres. See Page

“People want to laugh and they need a break,” she said. “It’s (going to be) a giant party, and everybody that comes to it is going to wish they were a Southern Fried Chick. We’re going to show you a little bit of our crazy lives. It’s a blast.” A familiar face on television and on the stand-up comedy circuit, May has forged a loyal following with her down-home, southern-style humor.

Manovich said the city of Troy is excited about the news of both Sculptures on the Square and the Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure returning to Troy in 2013. Manovich said the internationally acclaimed artist Seward Johnson’s “Man on the Street” exhibit will include 20 life-like painted bronze statues of everyday people on the sidewalks downtown. The outdoor exhibit will call Troy home from May 4 through August. The exhibit previously

traveled to Troy in 2003 and 2005. Also this year, GOBA is back once again, bringing more than 3,000 bikers and friends to Troy on June 16 and 17. “Troy Main Street will also be a partner in providing two-day entertainment, shopping and food for the GOBA attendees,” Manovich said. “We will be preparing the downtown merchants and restaurants to welcome and serve the 3,000 campers who will be enjoying downtown for the twoday event.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Conservatives and watchdog groups are mounting a “not-sofast” campaign against a $50.7 billion Superstorm Sandy aid package that Northeastern governors and lawmakers hope to push through the House this coming week. Their complaint is that lots of the money that lawmakers are considering will actually go toward recovery efforts for past disasters and other projects unrelated to the late-October storm. A Senate-passed version from the end of the last Congress included $150 million for what the Commerce Department described as fisheries disasters in Alaska, Mississippi and the Northeast, and $50 million in subsidies for replanting trees on private land damaged by wildfires. The objections have led senior House Republicans to assemble their own $17 billion proposal, that when combined with already approved money for flood insurance claims, is less than half what President Barack Obama sought and the Senate passed in December That $17 billion package will be brought to the floor by the House

Dylan • Continued from A1 The Do It For Dylan Benefit is slated for Saturday, beginning at noon at the Bradford Community Club, 154 1/2 N. Miami St. in Bradford. The event will feature a silent auction and 50/50 raffles. Then, later that night nationally-known comedian Donnie Baker, heard on the “Bob and Tom Show” each morning, will perform two shows at 7:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. at the Covington Eagles 3998, 715 E. Broadway, and Shindig will provide transportation from the Bradford

Community Club to the Covington Eagles and back. Tickets for the show are $20. Dylan’s parents, Jeff and April Blair of Piqua, described Dylan as a typical boy who never showed any symptoms of the condition, which is called medulloblastoma. Medulloblastomas are tumors in the cerebellum, which is the part of the brain that controls balance and other motor functions. It is the most common cancerous central nervous system tumor in children and accounts for up to 20 percent of all pediatric brain tumors.

Jeff and April said the condition was discovered while Dylan was being checked out for issues he was having with his salivary glands, and tests later revealed medulloblastoma. “I now live in Piqua, but I am from Bradford, and in Bradford everyone pulls together,” April said of how much it means to her that the community of Bradford has taken Dylan and her family under their wings. “Bradford is a small community with a big heart.” Despite the prognosis, April said her son continues to be the same boy. “He is just in high spir-

its and you can’t get him down,” April said from a Bloomington, Ind., hospital Friday morning before Dylan was to undergo another round of treatment. So far Dylan has had brain surgery to remove as much of the cancer as possible and is in the process of receiving radiation and then he will start with chemotherapy. Dylan has three other siblings, a younger sister, Carly, 9; and an adult sister, Melania, and brother, Matthew, who suffers from cerebral palsy. For more information on the Baker show contact

Jack Preston for tickets at (937) 417-2518. Tickets also may be purchased at Clark’s Pizza, Covington Eagles or Lavy’s Marathon in Gettysburg. Those interested in donating services, products to be auctioned or monetary donations should contact Maria Brewer at (937) 417-7128 or email her at steelbrewer@yahoo.com, or by calling Eli Brogan at (937) 606-0489. All checks can be made payable to “Do It For Dylan,” and there is a savings account set up for him at Greenville National Bank under the same name.

New year, new businesses In 2012, 17 new businesses opened first-floor spaces in downtown Troy, Manovich said. “We always have a handful of vacant storefronts and a turnover in businesses,” she said. “(Currently) there are nine vacancies out of 170 firstfloor spaces — we are at about a 95 percent occupancy rate.” New businesses already are getting settled in downtown such as Trojan Nutrition, Wagmore Pet Salon as well as photography studio Photos at Six and Bottle No. 121, which will open soon. “We are currently showing prospective tenants the space located at 4 W. Main St. (formerly Unrefined Café) and have had interest from restaurants and others,” she said. “Due to its prime location, we do not expect it to remain vacant for long.” For example, Manovich said the historic Mayflower Theater recently changed hands and is undergoing a transformation into an art venue by new owner Lisa Bauer. “She has a phased plan to bring working artist studios, exhibit and performance spaces, and an artistin-residence loft to the for-

is you’ll get all aspects. We don’t do a lot of male bashing, so what’s great is, guys like us, too.” She said the Southern Fried Chicks tour — which formed about six years ago and has featured different lineups over the years — allows each of the participants to share the spotlight. “When we do the Southern Fried Chicks, we’re working with two or three other headliners and not a one of us has to have the responsibility of carrying the show,” May said. “We’re past that point of ego or trying to outdo each other. It’s like hanging out with your best friends. “Sonya is weird because

Challenges in the year to come Like most non-profit organizations, Manovich said Troy Main Street’s challenges are mostly funding-related. “Our challenges remain the same each year,” she said. “(There is) not enough hours in the day to accomplish all the creative ideas that we have to improve and enhance downtown Troy.” Manovich also said Troy Main Street is developing a pilot façade improvement grant program to seek major funding to assist businesses in a target area to improve their building exteriors. The organization also is seeking corporate event sponsors for events such as the return of Sculptures on the Square. “As a non-profit, we are also always working to raise funds to cover event costs, overhead and project costs,” she said. “We organized, promoted, funded and managed more than 20 large public events in 2012 with a very small staff and budget,” she said. “We use events, traditional and new, to bring people to downtown to increase vibrancy and commerce in the district.”

see the organization out in public are just a small part of the organization’s mission. “Many people don’t realize that events are just one function of our organization,” she said. “The scope of our mission includes much more, and we perform many other tasks such as business recruitment, business retention, beautification and revitalization of downtown Troy, destination marketing, social media and marketing counseling, video production for our members, and more.” Manovich said she and her staff continue to draw upon ideas with help from Heritage Ohio. “Our state affiliate, Heritage Ohio, hosts quarterly training and networks, training webinars, an annual conference, and provides supporting materials to all the Ohio Main Street programs across the state,” she said. “Our staff and board members regularly participate in these events, and they are invaluable to improving all aspects of our organization.”

she can do any impression. She does a lot of impressions and can sing and do comedy, so she’s hilarious,” she continued. “And Karen represents the intellectual type — the urban southerner. She has very smart humor. So that’s what’s nice — we’re throwing three different aspects at you. It’s not just a bunch of dumb southerners.” While May said she loves doing what she does for a living, it isn’t all chuckles and gags. There is a serious side to what she does. “It’s very strange. As a performer, a lot of times you just feel like ‘poof ’ — when you get done with a performance, you go ‘yea, I did a good show and made people happy.’ But it’s just

gone,” she said. “I can remember driving around town with my dad and him pointing at a building and saying ‘Your grandpa built that, and it’s standing there and it’s a part of him and he touched every brick in that wall.’ With stand-up, it’s kind of like, ‘Are you really changing the world or making a difference or doing anything that anyone will remember an hour later?’ Then I’ll do a show and will get these emails, or people will literally come up to me and say something like ‘My mom died two months ago and this is the first time I got out of the house,’ or ‘This is the first time I laughed or have been happy for two months.’ “One woman told me a sister of hers died of pancreatic cancer and she felt guilty to go out and have a nice meal or take her kids to a park — doing all of those things that are living,” she continued.

“Things like that make me realize that there is a wonderful thing about being human … that we get to laugh.” She said seeing that concept unfold before her eyes on a nightly basis is particularly gratifying. “People laugh in so many different ways, and when I’m on stage I get to watching the audience so much that I can get mesmerized by watching how I’ll say something, and then watch a person go into convulsions,” she said with a laugh. May said she made the decision to pursue comedy several years ago when she discovered the magic of laughter. “What feels good to me is, I kind of knew what my path in life was … that I was going to work at a factory, I was going to get pregnant and live a lower income life,” she said. “The thing that made me take a chance at becoming a stand-up comedian is, I’m

at the bottom of the barrel. I can’t go any further down. Why not try to do something special? “I don’t think a lot of people feel special in this world, and doing stand-up makes me feel special,” she continued. “I get to do something that not everybody can do. It’s not an ego thing, but I do get to go to sleep at night and say that I do something that 90 percent of people can’t do, so that has brought joy to my life. “It’s such a magical thing to make people laugh.” Tickets are $25, $16 and $12 and can be obtained from the Hobart Arena website (www.hobartarena.com) or by calling the arena box office at 3392911. • To learn more about Etta May or the Southern Fried Chicks Comedy Tour, visit May’s website at www.ettamay.com; or the SFC website at www.southernfriedchicks.net.

State to offer discounts at Grand Lake St. Marys ST. MARYS (AP) — Ohio is offering extended discounts starting this spring at Ohio’s largest inland lake. The sprawling Grand Lake St. Marys in western Ohio was hit by a toxic algae bloom in 2010 that damaged the region’s tourism business while highlighting problems caused by phosphorous runoff from farms. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources says discounts at the lake include 25 percent off shelter house rentals and half-price discounts on fees for docks, camping and day use. The special rates will be in effect from April 1 until Oct. 31, but don’t include certain periods, including days around the Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day holidays. The department’s deputy director says the state hopes the discounts encourage people to pick Grand Lake St. Marys State Park as their vacation destination.

ONLINE POLL

(WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM)

Question: Do you trust the federal government? Watch for final poll results in next Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

Last week’s question: Will Barack Obama do a better or worse job in his second term? Results: Better: 30%

Worse: 70% Watch for a new poll question in next Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” — First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Oregonian, Portland, on the 2012 stock market: President Barack Obama’s push to increase taxes on upper-income earners unleashed a form of economic stimulus in recent weeks. Some companies increased dividend payments to distribute money to shareholders before rates go up. And investors sold shares to reap gains before the New Year. The possibility of higher tax rates doesn’t fully explain these trends. For companies that had surplus cash, it made sense to return some to shareholders. And even without a looming tax increase, the timing was right for investors to sell some stocks after a strong year on Wall Street. But it’s clear that the political climate — the probability of higher taxes and the high level of uncertainty about the nation’s fiscal path — has influenced investors. Viewed from the left, the investors’ gains show how the economy is rigged for the wealthy, allowing those with money to cash in even when the economy struggles. Viewed from the right, this year’s performance — in particular fourth-quarter dividend payouts by companies and sell orders by investors — shows how tax policy affects economic decisions. To a degree, both arguments are correct. So the real question is what economic policymakers should do because of these trends. Whatever they do, it’s important to remember that the stock market and economy do not necessarily react to political and financial events in the same way. This year’s market gains in part reflect a relatively low starting point and the lack of other attractive investments options. As a result, stocks increased in value across the globe in countries with all types of governments and economies. Instead of focusing on winners and losers, public officials in Washington, D.C., should concentrate on addressing problems that undermine the economy. Investors, whether individuals or companies, need a more certain operating environment. Those on the lower end of the income scale need more opportunities. Who knows where the stock market will finish in 2013. But if Congress can provide more certainty and opportunity, it’s a good bet that more Americans will have something to toast next New Year’s Eve. The Oneida (N.Y.) Dispatch on the nomination of Sen. John Kerry for U.S. Secretary of State: If you have to have a backup plan for nominating a new secretary of state, it would be hard to do better than President Barack Obama’s selection of Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. The senior senator from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts would replace Hillary Clinton, who has given notice of her desire to step down after four grueling years as one of the most-travelled secretaries of state in U.S. history. The selection of Clinton was a gutsy move by Obama. His former Democratic rival for the 2008 presidential nomination not only had star power, but many feared that the irrepressible Bill Clinton would prove a liability. Instead, the former first lady and the current president have worked seamlessly together without complication. Kerry is Plan B following the ferocious right-wing assault on Obama’s planned nomination of Susan Rice, our United Nations ambassador. In any event, Kerry has been a member of the U.S. Senate since 1985, all of that tenure on the Foreign Relations Committee, with the last six years as chairman. He’s often travelled in his official capacity and been something of a special envoy for Obama, including yeoman’s work in convincing a recalcitrant Hamid Karzai, president of Afghanistan, to hold an election. He also went to Pakistan to steady our relationship with Islamabad after the unauthorized U.S. incursion to kill Osama bin Laden. The president and Kerry have their differences on foreign policy, but Kerry is a political pro. He understands the role of a secretary of state perhaps as well as any nominee ever has and Obama has demonstrated his ability to work with a secretary with gravitas.

THEY SAID IT “People just don’t realize what help Hospice can offer them. I couldn’t have made it through without Hospice, I would have had to put him in a nursing home, which is something I didn’t want to do. I couldn’t praise Hospice enough for what they did for my husband — and me. They are angels.” — Miami County Hospice volunteer Lola Rowan “It is the most despicable case that I have ever had to deal with. The fact we have grown men who are actively looking to hook up with other men who will share their sons with them.” — Miami County Assistant Prosecutor Tony Kendell, on the indictment of Jason Zwick, who was found guilty of child rape “Politics has always been an interest to me, so this will be a very nice job to me.” — New Miami County Board of Elections Director Andrew Higgins

Sci-fi future closer than we think Troy Well, it’s official. We know where the government stands on one of the greatest debates of all time. No, not spending vs. taxes or prochoice vs. pro-life. Not even gay marriage, gun control or legalizing marijuana. Star Trek vs. Star Wars. In September of last year, Gizmodo posted an article about how NASA not only thinks a Star Trekstyle warp drive to propel our spaceships is “theoretically possible, they’ve already started the work to create one.” Sure, it’s likely still years and years away from becoming a reality and actually working, but if they were to pull it off, it would be the single biggest thing any of us will ever see in our lifetimes — until it leads us to other, even bigger things like visiting and colonizing other planets and meeting alien lifeforms, which is all sure to follow. More recently, though, a petition circulated on the Internet to have the U.S. government begin construction on a Star Wars-style Death Star, a massive space station with weapons capable of destroying an entire planet, by 2016. In a response from the White House titled “This Isn’t the Petition Response You’re Looking For” (thanks for not being

Josh Brown Sunday Columnist condescending), the government shot down the proposal, saying that $850 quadrillion is just too much to spend when they’re already trying to lower the national debt. Goodbye, millions of potential jobs. The response was well written, sure, and contained plenty of fitting Star Wars references, but it was all just to butter us up. They still said NO. NASA, meanwhile, is working to make Star Trek tech a reality. “Perhaps a Star Trek experience within our lifetime is not such a remote possibility,” said Dr. Harold White, the Advanced Propulsion Team Lead for the NASA Engineering Directorate. In essence, they’re working to

detect warp bubbles — instances where the very fabric of space and time are warped. Once detected, they will be studied, which will lead to the ability to create them. “By creating one of these warp bubbles, the spaceship’s engine will compress the space ahead and expand the space behind, moving it to another place without actually moving and carrying none of the adverse effects of other travel methods,” the article said. Basically, to get to the nearest star to us, Alpha Centauri, it would take hundreds of thousands of years with engines better than we currently have. With this warp drive, the trip could theoretically take two weeks. Of course, anyone familiar with the Star Trek universe knows the importance of mankind’s first warpspeed flight. An alien race, the Vulcans, had been monitoring humanity for years, waiting for them to develop the technology for interstellar travel. Once we had, they introduced themselves and welcomed us to the greater universe. And once we figured out that we’re not alone in the universe, humanity began living as it always should have — as one race. No more country vs. country or religion vs.

religion. No more caring about our own differences based on skin color, ethnicity, religious beliefs, etc. No more hating other humans for no good reason. After all, those freaks from outer space have pointy friggin’ ears! Naturally, I’m not saying that’s how it would go down if and when we do meet aliens for the first time. But having the ability to truly explore the universe, to go where no one has gone before, would easily be the most monumental achievement in human history — bigger than the boat, or the car, or the plane, or the space shuttle. The next logical step. And if it leads us to a real-life Star Trek experience like the fictional first contact — which comes in 2063, so we still have time — so much the better. Of course, if that meeting with aliens goes sour, we might want to have a Death Star handy. Thanks, government. For dooming us all by not building one.

TDN Sports Editor Josh Brown appears Sundays. Warp tech? Death Stars? We still don’t even have hoverboards yet. Two more years, science! That’s how long you have on that one.

A year’s tumult echoes still BY CHRISTOPHER SULLIVAN Associated Press

WILMER J. LEISS

TIPP CITY — Wilmer J. Leiss, 97, formerly of Tipp City, passed away Thursday, Jan. 10, 2013, at Friendship Village, Dayton, Ohio. Born Aug. 8, 1915, in Jonesville, Mich., to Harry J. and Amanda (Hartman) Leiss. Wilmer is preceded in death by his parents, his wife, Dorothy Jean (Sprecher) Leiss, brother, Roy Leiss and son in-law, John Giambri. He is survived by his daughters, Nancy and her husband Dave Imler, Tipp City, and Patty and her husband Dick Zimmerman, Troy; along with grandchildren, Russ (Andrea) Imler, Shelley (Tom) Weaver, Michael (Christal) Giambri and Roxanna Giambri.

The music they listened to was beginning to challenge givens of the conformist 1950s. Bob Dylan, who sang in 1963 of all that was “blowin’ in the wind.” Motown. And soon the shaggy-haired, parent-unsettling Beatles, whose first album came out in Britain that year, leading a new wave of Pied Piper bands who’d produce much of the generation’s soundtrack. At the center of it all was the Kennedy administration, glamorous and youthful, often likened to “Camelot” the mythical world lasting, as a Broadway lyric lamented, just “one brief, shining moment.” Then suddenly, in November, the greatest jolt of all in a year of tumult, one felt still today: Rifle shots in Dallas that brought that moment to a close. “So much happened in the ’60s that every year is almost its own brand … and ’63 has a rightful place,” said Jeremy Varon, a history professor at New York’s New School and co-editor of the journal “The Sixties.” The decade’s themes resounded, he says. There was “the revolution in race relations,” the divisive Vietnam war, widespread experimentation with drugs, the sexual revolution, a societal turn toward youth. “All of this was experienced as a crisis,” Varon said. But he added, the period was “also exuberantly fun.” Ever since, “youth has defined popular taste,” and a favored demographic for marketers remains the age group 18-to-35. “Coming of age in the ’60s still is sort of the great archetype of … what youth is all about,” said Varon, and the decade’s early years helped define that. “Kennedy gave young people this charge to define American strength … and virtue.”

And today’s students appreciate that even while consigning Kennedy and King to a misty past. Having grown up during the shadowy war on terrorism, many show no sense of “what it’s like to live in a culture of optimism.” “The biggest thing I find,” Varon added, “is that students are enraptured by the fact that once upon a time young people had a sense of purpose in life.” Cultural historian Thomas Hine calls the young people of the 1960s “the luckiest generation.” Their sense of purpose coincided with an economic upswing that had propelled the nation since the end of World War II, with the promise of progress seen in relentless “Mad men”-style advertising everything “new and improved” and with Kennedy’s New Frontier. In Spivey’s ’60s classes at Miami, students grasp the sense of purpose in 1963’s pivotal chapter in the civil rights movement, with its hundreds of demonstrations that year alone. With other lecturers and with music, film and the personal recollections of participants he tries to bring the ferment of the time alive for students. “We try and make them feel the era,” he said. Ticking off milestones, the professor mentions Birmingham. That city was a bulwark of the resistance to progress toward civil rights begun with prior years’ lunch counter sit-ins and “freedom rides.” And it was there that King and others went to launch Project C, for “confrontation.” With a series of marches, they wanted to provoke a reaction and draw public attention. Hundreds were arrested, including King, whose galvanizing “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” is course reading for students now.

member of the Rotary Club, Historical Society, Tipp City United Methodist Church, the Chamber of Commerce and was a driver for the “Handy Van,” providing transportation for those in need. Wilmer also was chosen as “Citizen of the Year.” Funeral service will be at 11 a.m. Monday, Jan. 14, 2013, at Tipp City United Methodist Church, 8 W. Main St., Tipp City, OH 45371, with Pastor Bonita Wood officiating. Burial to follow in Maple Hill Cemetery. Visitation will be from 9-11 a.m. Monday prior to the service at the church.

A new year was just beginning, an extraordinary year in which so much would change. Half a century ago, on Jan. 14, 1963, George Wallace took the podium to give his inaugural address as governor of Alabama. His words framed a fiery rejoinder to a civil rights movement gathering strength. “I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny,” he thundered, “and I say, segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!” Fifty years later, the words still have the power to shock. In college classes like “The Sixties in History and Memory,” today’s students recoil. But turn the pages of their text to a day just seven months later, and there’s another riveting oration. At the thronged Lincoln Memorial, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. offered a vision of a “day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: ‘Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty, we are free at last!’” The students shiver at the words and cadence of this speech and at the contradictions and convulsions of 1963. “We constantly make the point,” notes Donald Spivey, who teaches “The Sixties” at the University of Miami, “that you’re hit with all of these things at once.” What things? Under the shadow of the Cold War’s threat of “mutually assured destruction,” 1963 was the year of dawning arms control between the U.S. and the Soviet Union; they signed a Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. In June, the adversaries agreed to set up a “hotline” communications link between the Kremlin and the White House to ensure against a catastrophic mistake. For many women, it was a year of liberation. The 1963 best-seller “The Feminine Mystique” catalyzed the modern women’s movement. One author says the book literally saved lives. Around 1963, the critical mass of the baby boom generation was reaching a critical moment. Its leading edge, teenagers by then, were starting to recognize what they wanted to do, to believe and, significantly, to

She also leaves grandchildren, Michael (Alejandra) Gautier and Kevin Gautier of Venice and their children. She was a homemaker most of her life but did enjoy her career in the tax assessor’s office in Sarasota, the Key Book Store in Siesta Village and her association with the circus gift shop at the Ringling Estate.

Double-double powers TC past FM BY COLIN FOSTER Associate Sports Editor cfoster@tdnpublishing.com Troy Christian had its shot and lost against one of the top Cross County Conference teams in Tri-Village earlier this week. Then on Saturday, the Eagles got a chance at a little redemption against another CCC powerhouse, the Franklin Monroe Jets. And this time around, Troy Christian didn’t slip up, taking control of the game in the third quarter and never faltering again in a 51-41 victory in front a packed crowd at Troy Christian

TROY High School. It was the second Saturday in a row that the Eagles took down a quality team from the CCC. On Jan. 5, Troy Christian beat Miami East for the first time in coach Ray Zawadzki’s tenure at the school. “It was important to come out and get this one,” Troy Christian forward Christian Salazar said. “I really wanted it. Our team really wanted it. We don’t like STAFF PHOTO/COLIN FOSTER losing.” Troy Christian’s Holden Varvel passes the ball between two

MIAMI COUNTY

Sometimes when a team is struggling offensively, a goalie needs to pick the team up. Jake Eldridge did just that. The Troy senior pitched a shutout Saturday afternoon, stuffing all 27 shots that the Centerville Elks sent his way, and the offense cashed in two of its few chances in a 2-0 victory that snapped a four-game losing streak. The win got Troy back to the .500 mark at 11-11 with a home game against Bowling Green coming up today.

Covington (10-5, 5-3 CCC) took advantage, winning the fourth 16-15 with the help of Jessie Crowell, who hit five 3s and led the Buccaneers with 20 points. The win takes the Vikings to 13-1 and 9-0 in the CCC, with only Twin Valley South, National Trail and Tri-County North left in league play. But Miami East will start gearing up for the postseason this week with a pair of tough non-league road games — at Graham Wednesday and at inter-county rival Tippecanoe Saturday. Covington, meanwhile, travels to National Trail Thursday.

TROY The Trojans were outshot by the Elks 27-13 in the game but snuck two in — and Eldridge made them stand up. “It’s hard to keep yourself up when the team is struggling offensively,” Eldridge said. “You’re always worried that one shot could go in, and that could be the game-winner. It’s nervewracking. “It feels amazing (the shutout). I haven’t had one in a

COVINGTON — The list of challengers to Miami East’s Cross County Conference title keeps getting smaller and smaller. Saturday, the Vikings took care of another one, connecting on nine shots from the outside, shared the basketball well and played stifling defense in a 92-38 victory over Covington on the road. Angie Mack hit three 3s and scored 23 points, while Abby Cash added 22 points and six rebounds to lead the way. Ashley Current had 12 points, eight rebounds and six assists and Trina Current and Tori Nuss both had nine points and five assists. Madison Linn — who did not score — had four assists and three steals. “We had 38 field goals and 33 assists. We shared the basketball extremely well,” Miami East coach Preston Elifritz said. “It was an all-around team effort. Angie and Abby had all of their points in the first three quarters — no starters played in the fourth.”

Tippecanoe’s been busy. And with a makeshift lineup. Minus seven wrestlers thanks to various reasons, the Red Devils still had a strong showing at the Spartan Invitational Saturday at Lima Senior, winning one individual championship and placing 10th as a team with 131 points.

“I was very proud of all of our wrestlers today. Everyone continues to improve,” Tippecanoe coach Jordan Krebs said. “(We were) missing seven guys from our lineup today as we continue battling injuries and illnesses.” Jack Peura (138), meanwhile, battled for a title. he

won a 9-5 decision over Spencerville’s Cory Binkley in the championship match to claim the Devils’ lone individual title. Shane Dodd (182) placed fourth, while Garon Cruz (106), Eric Seeman (113), Mitchell Poynter (120) and Logan Lafferty (152) all placed fifth. It was the third time on the mats for the Devils this week, and fourth since the Troy

Invitational on Jan. 5. And they will be staying busy, too — the Devils travel to Miami East for a tri-match along with Kenton Ridge Tuesday. “We hope to have everyone back by the end of the week but are in no rush,” Krebs said. “Getting better, staying healthy and striving to wrestle late in February are what it’s all about.”

Athletes from college to pros offer help in Newtown NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — Newtown first-grader Katelyn Sullivan has been sleeping in her parents’ bed since last month’s massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary school. Katelyn, who attends another school in town, knew seven of the victims. They were in her Sunday school or dance class, or just friends. But on this day, the 6-year-old wasn’t thinking about bad men or death. She was meeting soccer stars such as Mia Hamm and Landon Donovan, and kick-

ing a ball around the field at the Newtown Youth Academy, a nonprofit sports center. “The best part was probably playing soccer,” she said. “I was playing with professional players, but I don’t know who they were.” She just shrugged when her parents mentioned that one was Alexi Lalas, the retired star of the U.S. national team. Since the tragedy, Katelyn and her two older brothers also have met members of the Harlem

Globetrotters and the UConn men’s basketball team. Brooklyn Nets forward Kris Humphries picked Katelyn up at one event to help her dunk a basketball. But what mattered to her parents was their children were having fun. “It’s just been huge,” said Joe Sullivan, Katelyn’s father. “It’s a pick-me-up for the community and the kids to get back to a little bit of a sense of normalcy and to kind of take their minds off of everything that has hap-

pened.” The sports world began responding shortly after the 20 children and six adults were killed inside the school Dec. 14. New York Giants receiver Victor Cruz came to play tag football and video games with the family and friends of victim Jack Pinto, after learning the 6-year-old shooting victim was to be buried in a replica of Cruz’s jersey. The Giants later hosted families from Sandy Hook at a game. “I didn’t want to go in

there and make a speech,” Cruz said. “I just wanted to go and spend some time with them and be someone they could talk to, and be someone they can vent to, talk about how much of a fan they are of the team, or different times they watched the Super Bowl.” Later in the month, NBA and NHL stars helped lead a series of clinics and games for Newtown children at the Chelsea Piers sports center in nearby Stamford. Pro Lacrosse players did the same in Newtown.

Troy Christian’s Logan George pulls up for a shot Saturday against Franklin Monroe. ■ CONTINUED FROM A7 In the third quarter, Salazar put the team on his back — scoring 10 points in the first four minutes of the half to help the Eagles turn a 20-17 halftime lead into a 34-19 advantage. But Devin Fourman and the Jets were able to weather the storm a little bit. Fourman scored six straight to cut the deficit to 35-29 going into the fourth. Midway through the final period, Fourman hit a 3-pointer to chop the lead to five. That, however, was the closest the Jets would get. With Troy Christian up 39-34, Holden Varvel drove through the lane and delivered a no-look pass to Salazar for an easy bucket. On the next possession, Salazar was fouled and went to the line. He made the first free throw, then missed the second — but collected the offensive rebound off his own miss and finished to put the Eagles back on top by 10. It was just that kind of night for the Troy Christian senior. Salazar had a double-double with a career-high 23 points and 12 rebounds. “If our guards weren’t that good, if they couldn’t penetrate to the hole like that, it would be impossible for me to do that without them,” Salazar said. “Christian has the ability to be the man every night,” Ray Zawadzki said.

Armstrong to admit to doping on Oprah AUSTIN, Texas (AP) Lance Armstrong said he will answer questions “directly, honestly and candidly” during an interview with Oprah Winfrey next week. He will also apologize and make a limited confession to using performanceenhancing drugs, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. Armstrong has spent more than a decade denying that he doped to win the Tour de France seven times. Without saying whether he would confess or apologize during the taping, Armstrong told The Associated Press in a text message early Saturday, “I told her (Winfrey) to go wherever she wants and I’ll answer the questions directly, honestly and candidly. That’s all I can say.” A confession would be a stunning reversal for Armstrong after years of public statements, interviews and court battles from Austin to Europe in which he denied doping and zealously protected his reputation.

Armstrong was stripped of his titles and banned from the sport for life last year after the U.S. AntiDoping agency issued a detailed report accusing him of leading a sophisticated and brazen drug program on his U.S. Postal Service teams that included steroids, blood boosters and a range of performanceenhancing drugs. Armstrong’s interview with Winfrey is not expected to go into great detail about specific allegations levied in the more than 1,000-page USADA report. But Armstrong will make a general confession and apologize, according to the person, who requested anonymity because there was no authorization to speak publicly. Several outlets had also reported that Armstrong was considering a confession. Armstrong hasn’t responded to the USADA report or being stripped of his Tour de France titles. But shortly afterward, he tweeted a picture of himself on a couch at home with all

seven of the yellow leader’s jerseys on display in a room at his home in Austin. He also agreed to be interviewed there, in what the Oprah Winfrey Network announced would be a “noholds barred” session. That’s scheduled to be taped Monday and broadcast Thursday night. “His reputation is in crisis,” said crisis management expert Mike Paul, president of New Yorkbased, MGP & Associates PR. “Most people don’t trust what comes out of his mouth. He has to be truly repentant and humble.” He also has to be careful. Armstrong is facing legal challenges on several fronts, including a federal whistle-blower lawsuit brought by former teammate Floyd Landis, who himself was stripped of the 2006 Tour de France title, accusing him of defrauding the U.S. Postal Service. The U.S. Justice Department has yet to announce whether it will join the case. The London-based

Sunday Times is also suing Armstrong to recover about $500,000 it paid him to settle a libel lawsuit, and Dallas-based SCA Promotions has threatened to bring yet another lawsuit against Armstrong to recover more than $7.5 million an arbitration panel awarded him as a bonus for winning the Tour de France. The only lawsuit potentially impacted by a confession might be the Sunday Times case. Potential perjury charges stemming from his sworn testimony in the 2005 arbitration fight would not apply because of the statute of limitations. Armstrong was not deposed during a federal investigation that was closed last year without charges being brought. However, he lost most of his personal endorsements worth tens of millions of dollars after USADA issued its report and he left the board of the Livestrong cancer-fighting charity he founded in 1997. He is still said to be worth an estimated $100 million.

And college hockey players from the University of New Haven came to help staff the center when it opened its doors to Newtown children to come in and play. The media has been barred from most of the events. “We made sure everyone understood that if they were coming, they had to be playing with the kids,” said Kaki Taylor, who helped organize the events at the youth academy. “This isn’t a public relations opportunity.”

NHL officially back, camps to open NEW YORK (AP) — NHL hockey is finally back, and this time it’s official. Nearly one week after a tentative labor deal was agreed to by the league and its players, the sides agreed to a required memorandum of understanding (MOU) on Saturday night that truly makes the lockout a thing of the past. Training camps will open on Sunday, and a 48-game regular season will begin next Saturday. The signing of the MOU also paved the

way for the NHL to release the long-awaited revised schedule. Twenty-six of the 30 teams will play next Saturday. All games will be intraconference this season. It took another lengthy negotiation to finally end the four-month lockout. The sides worked on the MOU all week, after a tentative deal was reached last Sunday morning the 113th day of the lockout and needed all day Saturday to finish it.

The announcement that the deal was signed came several hours after the union easily ratified the tentative agreement that was reached after an all-night, 16-hour bargaining session last weekend. The more than 700 union members had a 36-hour window from Thursday night until Saturday morning to vote electronically. The NHL board of governors unanimously approved the deal on Wednesday. The NHL hoped to open

camps today, and that prospect seemed in jeopardy Saturday until the document was signed at 10 p.m. EST. The new deal is for 10 years, but either side can opt out of it after eight. The previous agreement was in effect for seven seasons. While this negotiation was long, the sides were able to rescue at least part of the season. The NHL also played a 48-game campaign following a lockout in the 1994-95 season.

‘Flacco Fling,’ overtime FG propel Ravens

Troy’s Troy Smith chases down the puck Saturday. ■ CONTINUED FROM A7 while. Coming back after last weekend, and in a rivalry game like this, it feels amazing.” “As a goalie, you have the ability to change any game. And Jake stepped up,” Troy coach Larrell Walters said. “When you’re struggling to get shots and have a goalie stop 27, that’s just solid. That gives our guys confidence to play and brings the whole team up. “Jake stood the team on his shoulders. He played a phenomenal game.” Of course, Troy still needed some offense to post a win — and the Trojans made the most of their chances. Even with Centerville controlling play for the first three minutes of the game, Troy still cashed in its first offensive opportunity. Mason Hagen got the puck in the corner behind the Elks net and sent it in front to Brandon Beaty, who fought through a mess of Centerville defenders to poke it in to give Troy a 1-0 lead 3:34 into the first. “Brandon was laying on his back when he hit that one in,” Walters said. “Somehow, he worked the puck free and was able to put it in from the ice.” The score stayed that way for the rest of the period, though, despite power play chances for both teams. The Elks hit the post moments after a Trojan was sent to the box, then halfway through the penalty Clay Terrill had a shot at a shorthanded goal but just missed the net. Centerville had its own chance for a shorthanded goal in the closing minute of the period, but Troy goalie Jake Eldridge stood

Troy’s Michael Walter beats the Centerville goalie one-on-one and scores the Trojans’ second goal of the game Saturday at Hobart Arena. strong against a two-onthe-goalie break. Centerville outshot Troy 97 in the opening period, but the Trojans still held a 1-0 lead. Michael Walter doubled that lead 45 seconds into the second period. He stole a lazy pass between Centerville defenders at the blue line and beat the keeper top-shelf to make it 2-0 – the only score of the second period. “Michael broke free and got us a big insurance goal,” Walters said. “We had good hustle from our forwards, and we were very opportunistic.” Which Eldridge liked to see. “It’s so much better when your team can get the first goal — or even the second,” he said. The Trojans spent most of the second killing off penalties – including 1:06 worth of five-on-three play – but Eldridge and the defense were up to the task. Shots on goal were scarce, too, as the hitting intensified both ways. The third period was all on Eldridge. Troy killed off an early penalty with Eldridge making a number of big stops on shots right in front. Then midway through the period,

Troy’s Jake Uhlenbrock clears the puck Saturday against Centerville. Centerville put tons of pressure on during a Trojan power play, hitting the post twice — and Eldridge’s pads or glove even more often. And with 1:46 to go, the Elks pulled their goalie and got even more of a push … but Eldridge and the defense stood tough all the way to the end. “I was feeling pretty

good, but that barrage at the end, I got tired real quick,” Eldridge said. “It was good to see the forwards backchecking and helping to get the puck out of my face.” “Centerville’s a quick team, a fast-skating team,” Walters said. “They beat us 3-1 the last time we saw them. This is a big win for us.”

DENVER (AP) — No matter where his season or his career might end, Joe Flacco will always have The Fling. And Peyton Manning will always have to live with that throw he made, too. Flacco’s desperation 70yard touchdown pass to Jacoby Jones with 31 seconds left in regulation saved the game for Baltimore in regulation and Manning’s throw across his body in overtime all but lost it for Denver. On a frostbitten day on the frozen tundra known as Denver, the Ravens got a 47-yard field goal from Justin Tucker 1:42 into the second overtime Saturday to pull off a 38-35 upset over Manning and the Broncos, extending linebacker Ray Lewis’ career by at least one game. “Our team is so confident and everything went against us,” Lewis said, “but we found a way to come here together and we’re leaving together. It’s just awesome.” Lewis, who led the Ravens with 17 tackles over this nearly 77-minute game, kneeled down to the ground and put his helmet on the rock-solid turf when it was over. After Lewis thaws out, the Ravens (126), 9-point underdogs for this one, will get ready for a game at either New England or Houston, who meet Sunday for the other spot in the AFC title game. This game, the longest since the Browns beat the New York Jets 23-20 in 1987, was an all-timer up there with San Diego’s 4138 double-overtime victory over Miami for drama. But Flacco’s throw might best be bookended next to one made by Roger Staubach, who famously coined the term “Hail Mary” after his game-winning toss to Drew Pearson beat Minnesota in the 1975

playoffs. How to describe the Flacco Fling? On third-and-3 from his 30 with 41 seconds and no timeouts left, Flacco bought time in the pocket and saw Jones sprinting down the right sideline into double coverage. Defensive back Tony Carter slowed up and let Jones streak by him. Instead of staying step for step with Jones, safety Rahim Moore tried to leap and knock down the ball. Flacco, who throws the high, deep ball as well as anyone, got it over Moore’s head and into Jones’ hands. “At that point, you have to start taking shots,” Flacco said. “You have to get a little lucky. Had to take a shot and everyone came through.” Jones caught it and pranced into the end zone, blowing kisses to the crowd. • Big Night For Kaepernick SAN FRANCISCO — Colin Kaepernick set an NFL playoff record by a quarterback with 163 yards rushing to go with four total touchdowns, and the San Francisco 49ers held a 38-24 lead over the Green Bay Packers early in the fourth quarter of the NFC divisional playoff game Saturday night. Showing off his strong arm and fleet footwork, Kaepernick shook off a shaky start to his postseason debut and turned in a performance unlike any other. He threw for 232 yards and two more scores to put Aaron Rodgers and the Packers on the brink of elimination. Michael Vick’s 119 yards rushing in Atlanta’s 47-17 win over St. Louis in 2005 had been the most by a quarterback in a playoff game. San Fransisco led 45-24 with two minutes left in the game at time of press.

No. 20 NC State upsets No. 1 Duke, 84-76 RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — C.J. Leslie and Richard Howell wanted this moment, the chance to help No. 20 North Carolina State make a big step forward after a bumpy start to a season filled with potential. Now, after a rousing performance to take down No. 1 Duke, the duo has put the Wolfpack back on everyone’s radar. Leslie scored 25 points, including six straight during a key second-half run, to help N.C. State beat the Blue Devils 84-76 on Saturday. Howell added 16 points and 18 rebounds in a relentless performance for the Wolfpack (14-2, 3-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) in a matchup of the teams predicted to finish 1-2 in the league. “Coach (Mark Gottfried) said in the locker room: Nobody’s going to give us anything and we’ve got to

take it,” Howell said. “That’s the mindset we came out with.” N.C. State was picked for the first time in nearly four decades to win the league, though two early losses drained some buzz. No longer. Any lowered expectations are gone along with Duke’s perfect record. No. 14 Butler 79, Dayton 73 DAYTON — Leading scorer Rotnei Clarke fell head-first into the backboard support, then rolled on his back and lay there dazed. He didn’t even try to get up. How bad was it? Wideeyed Butler teammates gathered around and wondered. “At that point, it’s not about basketball anymore,” senior center Andrew Smith said. Turns out that it wasn’t as bad as initially feared only a sprained neck but it’s

still a significant setback for No. 14 Butler. The Bulldogs pulled through without their leading scorer on Saturday, using their depth to beat Dayton 79-73 for their 11th straight win. Roosevelt Jones scored 16 points, helping Butler (14-2, 2-0 Atlantic 10) extend its best start in four years. The Bulldogs’ defense and depth pulled them through against Dayton (10-6, 0-2), which has lost four of its last six and fell to 7-3 on its home court. Dyshawn Pierre and Vee Sanford scored 14 apiece for the Flyers. No. 21 Cincinnati 68, Rutgers 58 PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Cashmere Wright scored 23 points and No. 21 Cincinnati snapped a twogame losing streak and stayed unbeaten on the road with a 68-58 victory over Rutgers on Saturday night.

Ohio 61, W. Michigan 59 KALAMAZOO, Mich. — D.J. Cooper had 16 points and six assists, leading Ohio to a 61-59 victory over Western Michigan on Saturday. Reggie Keely added 10 points for the Bobcats (11-5, 2-0 Mid-American), who overcame 17 turnovers and held on after leading by 12 points midway through the second half. Xavier 71, GW 56 CINCINNATI — Semaj Christon and Brad Redford scored 21 points apiece as Xavier dominated George Washington for a 71-56, Atlantic 10 Conference victory Saturday. The Musketeers (9-6, 2-0) were without point guard Dee Davis, who injured his left wrist in Xavier’s previous game with Temple. Redford and Christon picked up the slack in the backcourt, with Redford hit-

ting 7 of 8 3-pointers and Christon adding seven assists. Jeff Robinson scored 14 points while Travis Taylor pulled down 11 rebounds with six points and six assists. Kent State 61, Ball State 47 MUNCIE, Ind. — Randal Holt scored 16 points and Kent State defeated Ball State 61-47 on Saturday. Chris Evans added 14 points for the Golden Flashes (10-6, 1-1 MidAmerican). Bowling Green 46, E. Michigan 44 BOWLING GREEN — Jordan Crawford made a 3pointer with 7 seconds left to lift Bowling Green to a 46-44 win over Eastern Michigan on Saturday night. Bowling Green trailed 44-41 with 2:32 left in the second half when Eastern Michigan’s Derek Thompson made a free throw. A’uston Calhoun made a layup and

Crawford knocked down the game-winning shot for the Falcons (6-9, 1-1 MidAmerican Conference). Akron 68, N. Illinois 53 DE KALB, Ill. — Reggie McAdams scored 20 points, making all six of his shots from the field, and Akron breezed past Northern Illinois 68-53 on Saturday. Miami (Ohio) 58, Buffalo 57 BUFFALO, N.Y. — Allen Roberts scored 22 points and made two free throws with 6 seconds left to help Miami (Ohio) edge Buffalo 58-57 in a Mid-American Conference game Saturday. Miami led 51-31 on Geovonie McKnight’s free throws with 11:01 left, but Buffalo cut the score to 5442 at 2:57. Buffalo took a 5756 lead on Jevon McCrea’s free throws with 1:01 remaining, but Roberts saved the win with his foul shots.

Flu season puts businesses, OAR installs employees alike in a bind officers, honors its members

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly half the 70 employees at a Ford dealership in Clarksville, Ind., have been out sick at some point in the past month. It didn’t have to be that way, the boss says. “If people had stayed home in the first place, a lot of times that spread wouldn’t have happened,” says Marty Book, a vice president at Carriage Ford. “But people really want to get out and do their jobs, and sometimes that’s a detriment.” The flu season that has struck early and hard across the U.S. is putting businesses and employees alike in a bind. In this shaky economy, many Americans are reluctant to call in sick, something that can backfire for their employers. Flu was widespread in 47 states last week, up from 41 the week before, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday. The only states without widespread flu were California, Mississippi and Hawaii. And the main strain of the virus circulating tends to make people sicker than usual. Blake Fleetwood, president of Cook Travel in New York, says his agency is operating with less than 40 percent of its staff of 35 because of the flu and other ailments. “The people here are working longer hours and

Other employees report for work out of financial necessity, since roughly 40 percent of U.S. workers don’t get paid

if they are out sick. Some simply have a strong work ethic and feel obligated to show up. Flu season typically costs employers $10.4 billion for hospitalization and doctor’s office visits, according to the CDC. That does not include the costs of lost productivity from absences. At Carriage Ford, Book says the company plans to make flu shots mandatory for all employees. Linda Doyle, CEO of the Northcrest Community retirement home in Ames, Iowa, says the company took that step this year for its 120 employees, providing the shots at no cost. It is also supplying face masks for all staff. And no one is expected

to come into work if sick, she says. So far, the company hasn’t seen an outbreak of flu cases. “You keep your fingers crossed and hope it continues this way,” Doyle says. “You see the news and it’s frightening. We just want to make sure that we’re doing everything possible to keep everyone healthy. Cleanliness is really the key to it. Washing your hands. Wash, wash, wash.” Among other steps employers can take to reduce the spread of the flu on the job: holding meetings via conference calls, staggering shifts so that fewer people are on the job at the same time, and avoiding handshaking. Newspaper editor Rob Blackwell says he had taken only two sick days in the last two years before coming down with the flu and then pneumonia in the past two weeks. He missed several days the first week of January and has been working from home the past week. “I kept trying to push myself to get back to work because, generally speaking, when I’m sick I just push through it,” says Blackwell, the Washington bureau chief for the daily trade paper American Banker.

Why attend car shows when photos are a swipe away?

In this Jan. 11, 2003, file photo, visitors at the North American International Auto Show walk the floor at Cobo Hall in Detroit. Hundreds of thousands of buyers and car fans are expected to crowd Detroitís North American International Auto Show from Jan. 14-27. Some 800,000 visitors are expected to descend on the city’s 18-acre Cobo Center, where more than 500 cars and trucks will be on display. screen. You can’t crawl inside and get a feel for it,” says Rod Alberts, a 23-year veteran of the Detroit show who is now its executive director. Detroit is one of 65 shows that will be held in the U.S. this year, from a tiny one in Toledo to New York and Chicago gatherings that attract more than 1 million visitors each year. Detroit has been holding an auto show almost continuously since the early 1900s, when local dealers lined up a handful of cars alongside fishing and hunting gear. More than half of visitors at the Detroit show are shopping for a new car, according to informal polls. And with car sales stronger than they’ve been in five years, attendance at NAIAS and other shows could be higher in 2013, after slipping during the recession. Car sales rose 13 percent to 14.5 million last year and could reach 15 million in 2013. The auto show is the ideal venue for shoppers because they can browse

without being pestered by salespeople, says Michelle Krebs, a senior analyst with car buying site Edmunds.com. “It’s like the circus. It’s the only place you can see it under one roof,” she says. It’s also a circus for car companies. Literally. Infiniti will use performers from Cirque du Soleil to introduce its new small car in Detroit. “Auto shows are one of the rare moments that the brand can meet the customer, shake their hand, look them in the eye and say, ‘This is who we are,’” says Jim Farley, Ford’s global marketing director. Car companies had to cut back on their displays during the downturn. Most are no longer doing the kinds of expensive stunts they did at the Detroit show before the sobering recession, which forced them to close plants and lay off thousands of workers. In 1992, thenChrysler chief Bob Lutz drove the new Jeep Grand Cherokee through a plate glass window. This year,

Detroit auto show set to begin

DETROIT (AP) — Why go to a crowded auto show when you can glimpse dozens of new models on the internet? Because you can’t catch a whiff of that new car smell through your iPhone. Photos can’t re-create the smell of leather seats or the smooth feel of a hood. At this year’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit, which opens to the public Jan. 19, visitors can see 500 cars and trucks spread over 18 carpeted acres. At least 800,000 people are expected to take in all the shiny models, amid the bright lights and thumping mood music. The biggest draw will be the first new Corvette in nine years. Technology lovers can see an experimental concept from electric carmaker Tesla and a diesel version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Young buyers can check out a small SUV concept from Honda. Big spenders and big dreamers can take a gander at the new Bentley convertible. But for all the gleaming metal, most models won’t be new to fans. Corvette lovers have been salivating over drawings posted on the Web. Spy cameras snapped an Acura MDX last fall, months before its official debut in Detroit. Mercedes has already released photos of its E-Class coupe and convertible. But even with all those spoilers, visitors keep flocking to Detroit and other auto shows. They want to touch the cars, check out the trunk space or just hop in. “You can’t do enough on a

Lutz will be talking to a holographic image of Thomas Edison at the display of electric-truck maker Via Motors. And the element of surprise is gone. Icons like the Ford Mustang and Dodge Viper were seen for the first time when sheets were pulled off of them in Detroit. As recently as 2000, there were audible gasps when General Motors revealed the ungainly Pontiac Aztek. “There isn’t going to be that sort of shock and awe that you had at earlier shows,” says Justin Hyde, senior editor of the Yahoo Autos’ Motoramic blog. Bloggers are already abuzz about whether a new Ferrari supercar will appear next year in Detroit. Still, Hyde says, the show is the best place to get a lot of information about cars in a global market that’s become huge and fractured. More than 6,000 journalists from 70 countries will attend two days of media previews starting on Monday, giving the show a reach far beyond Detroit.

Second inauguration smaller, yet still grand WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s second inauguration is shaping up as a high-energy celebration smaller than his first milestone swearing-in, yet still designed to mark his unprecedented role in American history with plenty of eye-catching glamour. A long list of celebrity performers will give the once-every-four years right of democratic passage the air of a star-studded concert, from the buntingdraped Capitol’s west front of the Capitol, where Obama takes the oath Jan. 21, to the Washington Convention Center, which is expected to be packed with 40,000 ball-goers that evening. The first family will lead a parade of clanging bands, elaborate floats and marchers, including costumed dancers, prancing horses and military units, down Pennsylvania Avenue. The president will dance with the first lady, whose dress seems destined to be most anticipated fashion statement of the second Obama administration. A new element of the inaugural events will be announced next week, with the appointment of around

half a dozen “citizen cochairs,” community leaders from across the country chosen because they represent the president’s accomplishments and commitments. They will take part in inaugural events throughout the weekend. Estimates of turnout are 600,000 to 800,000, compared with the 1.8 million in the record crowd on the National Mall four years ago to see the first swearing in of a black president. The mood of this 57th inauguration will be tempered by the weak economy, high unemployment, the aftermath of the Connecticut elementary school shooting and the long war in Afghanistan that’s expected to require U.S. combat forces through the end of next year. Yet developments in the last week have shown that inaugural enthusiasm is high. A limited offering of $60 inaugural ball tickets for the general public sold out quickly, and inauguration planners have tried to crack down on scalping business that’s sprung up online. There’s an impressive list of celebrities, including Beyonce, Katy Perry and Usher, who have signed on to perform. 2356940

Welcome to 2013! Local leaders share their hopes for the new year or our city, that council continues to support the efforts of the Troy Development Council as they strive to bring more jobs to the community; and that council continues to support city staff BAKER in reducing costs wherever possible and yet maintain services that are vital to our citizens. For our country, that an end to conflict brings our military home safely; and that our leaders do what is best for all of the people of our country. For people everywhere, that we can all share small acts of kindness, to make the world a better place. — Marty Baker, President, Troy City Council

My hope for 2013 is continued growth of the trend of buying local, particularly in downtown Troy. I wish MANOVICH prosperity to the downtown businesses, who work so hard to compete with national retailers and restaurants. On a national level, I would like to see unity and less divisiveness among politicians and the people of our country. For Troy Main Street, I wish for more hours in the day as we have a very full year planned for downtown with Sculptures on the Square, GOBA and all of our traditional events. Personally, I always hope for good health, happiness and humor for my family. — Karin Manovich, Executive Director, Troy Main Street Inc.

Troy Mayor Mike Beamish awaits a ribbon cutting at the Troy McDonald’s during a kick-off celebration June 18, 2012, at the new facility that opened its doors on West Main Street. To All Troy Residents, It is difficult to believe that another year has come and gone. As 2012 winds down, I’d like to share some reflections on the year just past, as well as some hopes for 2013. I am honored to serve the people of Troy as your mayor and to bring the qualities of our community to the regional and global stage. It is certain that these economic times have been a challenge for everyone. While Troy is by no means immune to these difficulties, I am grateful that the people who live, work, and play here continue to make Troy, Ohio, a great place. As mayor, I have always felt it part of my responsibility and privilege to support and highlight the unique attributes of our town. I have always referred to our downtown as Troy’s living room, and I firmly believe that its overall beauty lends a welcoming touch to our community. It has been a priority of Troy City Council and this administration to place great significance on our economic development efforts. In partnership with the Troy Development Council, we continue to maintain, expand and grow business and industrial opportunities for Troy and this region. We are blessed to have both domestic and international companies providing employment opportunities for our citizens. During these tough economic times we have been able to retain and even expand business into our community and county. This equates to positive job opportunities. Globally our Sister City relationship with Takahashi City provides friendship and cultural exchange for citizens of both cities. Our Festival of Nations continues to grow and celebrate our cultural diversity here in Troy. A key issue for many communities is maintaining quality services while remaining fiscally responsible. I am grateful that through the efforts of our city staff and elected officials, we have been able to accomplish that task for all Trojan residents. I have often said that it takes good people doing good things to make a great community. In Troy, Ohio, that statement is a way of life. In October 2012, we all celebrated the grand opening of our new Adams Street Bridge. This bridge features wider pedestrian walkways, a bike-friendly lane, a viewing area, and wider lanes for our vehicles to safely cross. We are happy that the bridge finished on schedule and under budget! Troy is fortunate to have a strong legislative body through which we as residents are represented and heard. I would ask all citizens to remember that our form of government is a republic. I know that council draws strength and courage from the knowledge that they represent the people of Troy. In turn, it is our duty to up hold, value and support those who are elected to serve. Each decision made by council affects all of us. I can personally attest that all members of council make it a top priority to listen to their constituency, and your voices are heard. It will continue to be our goal to think forward, and consider how choices made today will impact Troy in the decades to come. The coming year offers many new opportunities and improvements. We will continue to see our Summer Concert Series and our downtown Farmers’ Market. We will also see the return of the Seward Johnson sculptures from May through August on our downtown sidewalks. The Great Ohio Bike Adventure (GOBA) is back in 2013 for an unprecedented third time as part of their 25th anniversary. We continue to offer top-name entertainment at our historic Hobart Arena. The list includes a second appearance of Theatre on Ice. I am hopeful that our participation in the Ohio River Corridor Association will enhance opportunities on our Great Miami River, such as the return of our Treasure Island River Adventure Series. The coming year also will see much-needed improvements to North Market Street (Staunton Road to Foss Way and Kirk Lane). Troy is the place where “Civic Pride is City Wide.” Cooperation is the key element that makes these words more than just a catchphrase. As 2012 draws to a close, I challenge all Trojan residents to continue the tradition of excellence in serving their community. Troy truly is a great place to live, work and raise a family. During this holiday season, I ask that you take some time to reflect on all the positives that make Troy, Ohio, very special, the place where “Civic Pride truly is City Wide.” I wish all residents of Troy and of our surrounding communities joy, peace and hope for a bright and better tomorrow.

— Troy Mayor Michael Beamish

municipal tax assessment, enforcement and collections in a manner that is revenue neutral and that will not cost the TITTERINGTON city of Troy in excess of another $1 million per year. • Locally, to lead, with the mayor, in the expansion of the city’s industrial economic development base to increase employment opportunities and revenues for city residents. To find further ongoing savings to the city’s budget without asking for more general rate, fee and tax increases. To work with our employee groups to identify alternative ways and methods of controlling the city’s escalating health care costs by isolating usage trends, assisting in identifying individual risks, educating them to better manage those risks and expanding our wellness programs. — Patrick Titterington, City of Troy Director of Public Service and Safety The first thing that comes to mind is that I hope for 2013 to be as successful as 2012 for our THOMPSON organization. We experienced a very economically productive 2012 and with this year’s branding project we are very excited to be able to use some of these resources and tools to bring our organization to another level. I hope our lawmakers come together to create a path for the betterment of our country. A more personal resolution is to be more organized, as always.

First, you need a plan or get the help of someone like herself. “It’s a myth that having a personal trainer is expensive,” she said. “You don’t have to meet with a trainer every time you work out.” Smith describes her role as creating a program for her client. The client follows the program for an agreed upon period of time, then the two meet again to adjust the program as necessary. There is a great advantage for the client, she said. “They don’t have to figure it out …

they just have to get to the gym.” It’s perfectly acceptable, Smith said, to interview potential trainers. Find someone you are comfortable with, she said, but also someone who will “push you a little bit out of your comfort zone.” Whether you hire a trainer or develop your own plan, it’s essential to address eating habits as well as exercise.

Some states unhappy about happy hours BY MICHELLE LOCKE Associated Press During “happy hour” at the Summer Winter bar in Burlington, Mass., the bargain is on the bivalves, not the brews. That’s because Massachusetts legislators passed a law in 1984 banning bars from offering cutprice drinks. So James Flaherty, the bar’s director of food and beverage, decided to use shellfish specials to draw customers. “We’ve had to get creative by offering something other than a typical happy hour,” he said. “Having a raw bar at the heart of the restaurant, we launched Oyster Happy Hour to appeal to the after work crowd with fresh, local selections and it’s become a popular draw.” And Massachusetts isn’t alone. The concept of happy hour when bars offer lower prices or two-for-one specials may seem like an American tradition, but is in fact illegal or restricted in quite a few places. Laws vary by state, and even districts within states, so it’s hard to get a handle on the national picture, but Ben Jenkins, vice president of government communications for the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, has noted some recent activity aimed at updating happy hour laws. A few states, including Oklahoma, Massachusetts and Virginia, recently have considered changes to existing restrictions. The bills failed, but are likely to re-emerge. Meanwhile, happy hour became legal in Kansas last year after a 26-year ban. In 2011, Pennsylvania extended happy hour potentials from two to four hours and New Hampshire changed its law to allow establishments to advertise drinks specials. DISCUS does not take a position on happy hour bills, but Jenkins sees the activity in the context of a larger modernization trend. “States across the country are updating their liquor laws to provide better consumer convenience and increased revenue without raising taxes,” he says. The patchwork nature of the laws is a holdover from Prohibition, when states were left to set regulations once the federal ban had been repealed. Some of the laws written then are still on the books, which can strike an anachronistic note today. For instance, it’s still ille-

The concept of happy hour when bars offer lower prices or two-for-one specials seems like a widespread tradition, but is actually illegal or restricted in quite a few places.

Bartender James Smith delivers a $5 Mai Tai during happy hour at the Roy’s restaurant in San Francisco. gal to sell alcohol in South Carolina on Election Day. And it may surprise you to know that Moore County in Tennessee is “dry” and also home to the Jack Daniel Distillery. The reasoning behind happy hour bans or restrictions gener-

ally stems from concerns that lowering prices will encourage high consumption and its ensuing problems. “Some communities have issues of morality regarding promoting the drinking of alcohol or concerns regarding the kinds of behavior that can come from drinking too much,” notes KyleBeth Hilfer, an advertising and marketing attorney with the New York-based law firm Collen IP.

Having so many different rules means bar owners and restaurateurs need to keep up with changes in the laws and read existing statutes carefully, says Hilfer. Some states allow happy hours, but ban advertising them. Oregon, on the other hand, is OK with bars advertising general happy hours but not specific price discounts. Utah outlawed happy hours in 2011. Advertising also can be tricky.

A state may OK advertising happy hour specials, but going beyond the simple price and inviting customers to “lose weight at our low-carb beer happy hour,” could be subject to regulation by state alcohol beverage officials, Hilfer explains. She recommends that proprietors of venues that serve alcohol and have happy hours have a lawyer vet advertising copy. Social media has added a new twist to the mix. In Virginia, it’s illegal for bars and restaurants to advertise happy hours in electronic media, radio, TV and the Internet, a law that goes back to 1984, long before Twitter had left the nest. This year, Virginia legislators considered changing the rules, though the bill ultimately was withdrawn, partly due to concerns about underage drinking. This wasn’t Virginia’s first time to update old laws. In 2006, a tapas restaurant was cited for serving sangria because its recipe, a mix of red wine, brandy and fruit, violated a 1934 law prohibiting the mixing of wine or beer and spirits. In 2008, lawmakers passed a bill sanctioning sangria.

Drinking on a diet? Those calories can add up fast The first rule of drinking on a diet is: Don’t. Surely you’ve heard that Americans get way too many calories and nutritionally empty calories at that from alcohol. But the second rule of drinking on a diet is that since you probably will ignore Rule No. 1, find a way to enjoy alcohol without letting it swamp your healthy intentions. Here are a few suggestions on how to go about that.

Think before you drink

rum, for a total of 360 calories, roughly the same as a Sausage McMuffin from McDonald’s. Even a simple rum and Coke can have 200 calories or more. A vodka and cranberry juice has about the same. “Mixers can really add up,” says Giancoli. “If you like to use liquor vs. having beer or wine, go for the lowcalorie mixer. If you’re somebody who likes rum and cola, do rum and diet cola. If you’re somebody who likes vodka cranberry, you can do vodka with diet cranberry.” It can take some of the spontaneity out of an evening, but if you’re planning to drink it’s best to plan ahead, tally the calories and budget accordingly.

Ice is nice Lisa McRee, a former “Good Morning America” co-anchor who now publishes the popular recipe and diet tip site The Skinny, remembers being on a “no white foods” diet and being miserable since that included “no white wine.” These days she eschews fad diets for a sensible regime of good food cooked well, heavy on the vegetables. “The philosophy really comes down to eat more things that grow and fewer things that walk,” she says. Cutting carbs and other empty calories leaves a little room for alcohol. And when she wants to enjoy her favorite chardonnay she slips an ice cube or two into the glass. That makes the drink last longer and also dilutes the alcohol, an important point since alcohol is a notorious sapper of willpower. In summer, she’ll do the

same with a light red wine. While you probably wouldn’t want to do this with a heavy red wine such as cabernet sauvignon or in front of your vinophile friends serving wine over ice is not without precedent. McRee first came across it while traveling in Italy in 100-degree weather and seeing the locals chill their wine with a few cubes.

Get on the fresh express Jacques Bezuidenhout, the master mixologist for Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, has an easy tip for trimming calories from drinks: Keep it simple. “When I approach healthy drinking, I focus on what goes in the glass,” he says. “Is the juice fresh squeezed? Are we using quality spirits? When you look at those key factors then really look at what kind of sugar you add to the drink! Sugar is the first thing that will start to tag on the calories or assist in a poor feeling in the morning.” Using better ingredients and fresh juice means you need to add less sugar or liqueurs to balance out the cocktail. He recommends using sweeteners such as agave nectar or honey. His diet cocktail? A gin martini, no mixers required. Alcohol isn’t necessarily the best thing to do when you’re watching your weight, “but if you’re going to do it, we encourage that kind of wellness factor in our bar. Look at what you’re putting in your cocktail, balance that sugar,” he says. And one more tip buy smaller glassware for your

home. If you are constantly trying to fill a 12-ounce martini glass or 14-ounce highball with a cocktail of any kind, your sugar levels and spirit levels will go up, says Bezuidenout.

Flavor without fear Look for no- and lowcalorie ways to add flavor to your cocktails. Diet sodas (including diet tonic water) are an obvious choice. But many companies also offer low-sugar varieties of juices, such as cranberry. Lemon and lime juice add tons of flavor, but pack just 4 calories per tablespoon. Flavor a serving of white rum with a bit of fresh mint (5 calories for 2 tablespoons), some lime juice, a calorie-free sweetener such as stevia, then pour the whole thing over crushed ice and top with seltzer water and you have a mojito for 110 calories. Or opt for juices with big flavor so you don’t have to use as much. Pomegranate juice which has just 18 calories per ounce (2 tablespoons) can do wonders for a shot of vodka and a splash of seltzer. And if you’re playing bartender at home, there’s always the infusion technique. Get a bottle of tequila or vodka and dump it in a large glass jar. Use a vegetable peeler to strip the zest off a whole bunch of citrus (for example, 8 or so lemons for a 750-milliliter bottle), then add the zest to the liquor. Cover and set aside for four or five days, shaking every once in a while. Strain out and discard the zest. To drink, spike a serving of it with calorie-free sweetener and a splash of seltzer.

A gift comes with strings attached Mom goes viral with son’s phone code of conduct NEW YORK (AP) — Janell Burley Hofmann honored her 13-year-old son’s “maturity and growth” at Christmas with his first iPhone, but it came with strings attached. Eighteen strings, to be exact, in a written code of conduct that placed the mommy blogger at the center of the debate over how parents should handle technology in the hands of their teens, especially younger ones just entering the frenetic world of social networks and smartphones. Thousands of people, including those bemoaning too much helicopter parenting, commented and shared the funny, heartfelt agreement posted at the holiday by the Cape Cod, Mass., mom of five. The interest crashed her website and led her to appear with her eldest, Gregory, on morning TV. Hofmann’s first order of business: “1. It is my phone. I bought it. I pay for it. I am loaning it to you. Aren’t I the greatest?” She included caveats that some parenting and tech addiction experts consider crucial in easing new entrants onto Facebook, Instagram and shiny new mobile devices: You must share passwords with a parent, answer their calls, hand over said device early on school nights and a little later on weekends. You must avoid hurtful texts and porn and pay for a replacement if your phone “falls into the toilet, smashes on the ground, or vanishes into thin air.” Of the latter Hofmann advises her teen, “Mow a lawn, stash some birthday money. It will happen, you should be prepared.”

Hofmann said in an interview that she decided on the contract as she pondered the power of the technology she and her husband were about to plop into their son’s world. She was looking for a way to be present in his phone use without being a “creeper,” his word for stalky, spying parents. She wasn’t surprised that her list, which Greg agreed to, resonates with other parents. It also resonates with psychologist David Greenfield, a technology addiction specialist in West Hartford, Conn. “We have ritualized the gift of the smartphone,” he said, yet many parents don’t have the know-how, stomach, time or interest in actively guiding kids when they first jump into digital life. For some parents, he said, it’s only when things go horribly wrong that attention is paid. He knows of parents who have gone so far as to jam all Internet and cell phone signals at home when they couldn’t get their kids to power down. Police in Rocklin, Calif., said two girls, ages 15 and 16, used a prescription sleeping medication recently to spike the milkshakes of one’s parents so they could log onto the Internet after 10 p.m. Greenfield recommends contracts like Hofmann’s, if parents follow through. Others creep using apps and monitoring software. He thinks that’s fine, too. There’s little data broken down by age on the number of Internet users whose lives are negatively impacted by smartphones, tablets, laptops and other technology, Greenfield said. In the general population, studies range from 1 per-

cent to 10 percent of users whose digital habits interfere with their lives. Greenfield estimates the is somewhere reality between 2 and 6 percent. Hofmann was looking for a way to open the conversation with her son. Many other parents are, obviously, concerned as well about what their teens are doing online, but also what is being done to them. In a recent report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project, 81 percent of parents with online teens said they are concerned about how much information advertisers can learn about their kids’ behavior and 72 percent said they’re concerned about how their children interact online with people they don’t know. Nearly 70 percent said they’re concerned about how their children manage their reputations online and 57 percent of kids ages 12 and 13 said they’re very concerned about it.

The report said parents are being more proactive, not just relying on parental-control tools such as browser filters. An increasing number are joining their kids on social media, but older parents may be approaching their kids’ lives there with the wrong emotional filters. “We see it as a separation from social behavior. They see it AS social behavior,” Greenfield said. “I’m not sure we’re going to be able to bridge that difference generationally.” More tech abuse education needs to be done in this country before teens are actively engaged, he said. In parts of Europe and Asia, for instance, kids learn how to handle their digital lives as formal training in third or fourth grade. “Here they think of it like it’s part of their body, and they treat it that way,” Greenfield said. Hofmann’s contract is her own attempt at educa-

tion. “Don’t take a zillion pictures and videos. There is no need to document everything. Live your experiences. They will be stored in your memory for eternity.” And she gets downright inspirational toward the bottom: “Leave your phone home sometimes and feel safe and secure in that decision. It is not alive or an extension of you. Learn to live without it. Be bigger and more powerful than FOMO fear of missing out.” Hofmann also urges her boy to, “Keep your eyes up. See the world happening around you. Stare out a window. Listen to the birds. Take a walk. Talk to a stranger. Wonder without googling.” And her final word: “You will mess up. I will take away your phone. We will sit down and talk about it. We will start over again. You & I, we are always learning. I am on your team. We are in this together.”

Aisha Sultan in St. Louis studied parenting in the digital age as a Knight Wallace Fellow at the University of Michigan. As parents, she said, “We’ve sort of hit a tipping point. The conversation has shifted from wow, isn’t all this technology cool to wow, how do we control it? We can’t eliminate it completely.” But parental frustration is mounting, Sultan said. She cited last year’s case of a father who shot up his daughter’s laptop over a profanity-infused Facebook rant against her parents. He recorded the act and earned more than 23 million YouTube views for his trouble. Before the conversation with our kids begins, Greenfield said, parents have to deal with their own digital obsessions. “Parents have to have limits, too,” he said. “We have to be brutally honest with ourselves on our own use and abuse.”

Hands-on displays help people understand lore, power of river VICKSBURG, Miss. (AP) — The Lower Mississippi River Museum uses hands-on displays to help people understand the lore and power of the waterway that has shaped North American life for centuries. The Mississippi and its tributaries drain 41 percent of the U.S. and parts of Canada, comprising the world’s third-largest watershed. The portion called the Lower Mississippi runs about 1,000 miles, from Cairo, Ill., southward past New Orleans. The museum, on a hill in downtown Vicksburg, Miss., opened in August and was built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. So far, it has attracted more than 2,000 visitors most months. Admission is free. “The only thing we charge people with is that they learn something when they come in,” said museum director Sherry Jones. The museum features displays about the 1927 flood that deluged 27,000 square miles and displaced more than 160,000 families from Illinois south. Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas were hardest hit, and a tent inside the museum shows how people lived after being forced from their homes. Interactive kiosks offer glimpses into the lives of people who’ve traveled on or lived by the river for centuries. Maps painted on glass show how the river has changed course over the years, and visitors can slide maps over each other to compare the differences. A 1,500-gallon aquarium is filled with catfish and other river creatures. A small-scale model shows the confluence of two rivers, and visi-

Visitors to the Lower Mississippi River Museum in Vicksburg, Miss., have the opportunity to sit at a captain’s chair in the pilot house of the Motor Vessel Mississippi IV, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers towboat that floated up and down the Mississippi River. The museum provides visitors with a extensive look at life surrounding the Mississippi River through several centuries by way of its interactive and static displays, while the Motor Vessel Mississippi IV exhibits show how crews worked and lived on the towboats. tors can turn faucets to release water in one river at a time or both rivers at once. It’s possible to flood the valley and its miniature buildings. On an afternoon in midDecember, several employees of the Mississippi Association of Educators toured the museum to explore ideas for school field trips, and the adults played like children. Terri Rounsaville, who works in MAE’s regional office in the northern part of the state, and Jerri McGee, who works in the Jackson office, pressed the screen of an electronic kiosk to learn the stories of a banker, a farmer and a gambler who traveled down the Mississippi River in olden times. They chose different scenarios, with the character traveling in

spring or fall, with or without family. In one scenario, a character tried to swim ashore and drowned. “Awww,” McGee said. “How sad is that?” Some MAE employees rubbed crayons across blank pieces of paper over metal plates with reliefs of a catfish, a rabbit or a snapping turtle. Others laughed while creating a flood in the miniature valley. “Kids must love these things,” Beverly Brahan, MAE’s associate executive director, said to Jones. “School kids and adult kids,” Jones replied. The Mississippi River is a water highway that made Vicksburg strategically important during the Civil War, and the museum touches on the 47-

day siege that ended July 4, 1863, when Confederate forces surrendered the city and the Union gained control to the vital port. The muddy river cuts a path through American literature with the works of Mark Twain. Humans have tried to tame the river for decades, with varying degrees of success, and the museum gives information about those engineering efforts. Visitors can wander through the Motor Vessel Mississippi IV, dry-docked next to the building. From 1961 to 1993, the Corps of Engineers used the four-level, diesel-powered towboat for its work, and the Mississippi River Commission used it for twice-ayear river inspections one week in the spring and one week in

the fall. In the pilot house on the top deck, people can test their skills as a riverboat pilot on a video simulator that’s the same kind used in real training exercises. The Mississippi River changed its course at Vicksburg in April 1876, cutting across a strip of land called the DeSoto peninsula and leaving the city without a river port. In 1902, the Corps of Engineers diverted the Yazoo River into the old Mississippi River bed near downtown Vicksburg, creating the Yazoo Diversion Canal. The Lower Mississippi River Museum sits near the Yazoo Diversion Canal, not the Mississippi River itself perhaps a fitting choice for a museum that touts the massive work of the Corps. Museum employees say it’s no surprise that the building’s construction was delayed when the Mississippi River flooded in 2011, rising near the museum’s perch up a steep hill. During the summer of 2012, the river was so low that barges had trouble traveling up and down the river. Peggy Dudley, a museum employee and longtime Vicksburg resident, said the museum provides perspective about the Father of Waters. “You live around here,” Dudley said, “you have a healthy respect for the river.”

Carnival season kicks off along the Gulf Coast NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Christmas wreaths and holiday parties gave way to king cakes and street parades as the Carnival season kicked off last weekend along the Gulf Coast. In New Orleans, the noisy and colorful streetcar ride of the Phunny Phorty Phellows troupe marked the first street appearance of the Carnival season. The costumed revelers boarded a St. Charles Avenue streetcar on Sunday, Twelfth Night, the traditional start of the Carnival season that for many Christians also marks the end of the Christmas season. As a brass band plays, the masked troupe sipped champagne, tossed the first Mardi Gras beads of the season and gobbled up king cake —

Carnival’s signature pastry topped with sugar in the traditional Carnival colors of purple, green and gold. Another Twelfth Night tradition: A Joan of Arc-inspired walking club of revelers dressed in medieval-themed costumes on the streets of New Orleans costumed as knights, monks and peasants, and some will be on horseback. On Monday, New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu greeted royalty from the Rex and Zulu clubs at historic Gallier Hall, where they unveiled their official 2013 posters and ate king cake with captains from the city’s other major parading organizations. Mardi Gras Fat Tuesday falls on Feb. 12, and record crowds are

expected with the NFL’s Super Bowl championship game being held in New Orleans about a week earlier, on Feb. 3. In the weeks leading up to Mardi Gras, more than 100 parades will roll through streets or float down waterways in dozens of communities along the Gulf Coast. “Mardi Gras really is a shared cultural event that spans the entire Gulf Coast,” said Beth Carriere, executive director of the Mississippi Gulf Coast Convention and Visitors Bureau. Mardi Gras was first marked in 1699 when French explorers stopped for the festival along the Mississippi River, south of what 19 years later would become the settlement of New Orleans. In the early 1700s, celebrations cropped up as French

colonists settled in Mobile, Ala., and Biloxi, Miss. Mobile has the oldest community celebration, dating from 1703. Those communities still hold dozens of parades in the weeks leading up to Mardi Gras, and Mobile has a museum dedicated to its Carnival history. There are the festive street parades, where watchers plead for beads, doubloons and other trinkets from maskers riding huge floats. But there also are the private masked balls, at which debutantes of the season take their bow to society. In coming weeks, the revelry will reach inland to such cities as Natchez, Miss., and Shreveport, La. “Natchez is a river town just up the Mississippi River from New Orleans, so it has a lot of

historical connections to New Orleans, including Mardi Gras,” said Rochelle Hicks, a former Natchez resident who now serves as executive director of the Mississippi Tourism Association in Madison, Miss. Hicks said that like New Orleans, Natchez and other Mississippi towns have organized Carnival clubs with formal balls, royalty and float parades. Some clubs include Mardi Gras Indians in full feather headdresses, marching bands and parades geared for children with decorated wagons in place of floats. In south Louisiana’s Cajun country, Mardi Gras traditionally includes costumed revelers on horseback who ride from farm to farm collecting birds and other ingredients for gumbo.

Hollywood sticks to tried and true 2013 lineup brings more of same AP PHOTO/WARNER BROS. PICTURES/LEGENDARY PICTURES

This undated publicity photo released by Lionsgate shows Forest Whitaker, left, as Agent John Bannister, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, as Ray Owens, in a scene from the film “The Last Stand.” his first starring role since leaving the governor’s office, playing an LA-copturned-small-town-sheriff taking on an escaped drug kingpin. His “Expendables 2” co-star Willis is back in “A Good Day to Die Hard” as the cop who won’t quit teams with his son to stop a nuclear heist in Moscow. And rounding out the stillin-action ’80s heroes, their “Expendables” buddy Sylvester Stallone stars in February’s “Bullet to the Head” as a hitman working with a cop to get the bad guys that killed their partners. Other highlights for January through April: Sean Penn’s mob drama “Gangster Squad”; Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton’s fairy-tale update “Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters”; Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy’s

comedy “Identity Thief”; James Franco and Sam Raimi’s “Wizard of Oz” prelude “Oz the Great and Powerful”; Channing Tatum, Bruce Willis and Dwayne Johnson’s action sequel “G.I. Joe: Retaliation”; Tom Cruise’s sci-fi tale “Oblivion”; a demonic update with “Evil Dead”; and a 3-D re-release of Steven Spielberg’s “Jurassic Park.” SUMMER SEASON: In Hollywood, summer starts the first weekend in May, and this year that means Robert Downey Jr. suits up again as rich, flaky genius Tony Stark in “Iron Man 3,” back in leading-man form after 2012’s superhero ensemble smash “The Avengers.” This time, Tony’s forced to fall back on his own survival skills after an enemy up-ends his universe.

“Tony definitely is brought out of his comfort zone, so there’s a lot of travel in this,” Downey said. Two weeks later comes “Star Trek: Into Darkness,” with headstrong Capt. Kirk (Chris Pine) still feeling the growing pains as he struggles to protect his crew from peril while realizing that he doesn’t have all the answers. Not quite the brassy Kirk we remember from William Shatner’s days on the bridge. “He’s not the Capt. Kirk that we knew before. He’s not the mature leader of men yet,” Pine said. “It brings all of his kind of brash, all-knowing sense of himself up against the reality of, “well, do you really know what you’re doing?’” Other highlights for May through August:

Bradley Cooper and his gang in “The Hangover Part III”; Vin Diesel and his gang in “Fast and Furious 6”; Adam Sandler and his gang in “Grown Ups 2”; Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role of “The Great Gatsby”; Henry Cavill as Superman in “Man of Steel”; Brad Pitt and zombies in “World War Z”; Will Smith and son Jaden in the sci-fi adventure “After Earth”; Billy Crystal and John Goodman voicing the “Monsters, Inc.” prequel “Monsters University”; Jamie Foxx and Channing Tatum in the Oval Office thriller “White House Down”; the return of the little blue folks in “The Smurfs 2”; “Wedding Crashers” pals Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson in the comedy “The Internship”; Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer as trail buddies in “The Lone Ranger”; Charlie Hunnam and Rinko Kikuchi’s sci-fi battle “Pacific Rim”; Steve Carell’s animated sequel “Despicable Me 2”; Hugh Jackman’s superhero follow-up “The Wolverine”; Matt Damon’s futuristic thriller “Elysium”; the ancient Greece follow-up “300: Rise of an Empire”; and Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg’s crime story “2 Guns.” FALL AND HOLIDAYS: Part two of “The Hobbit” may own next Christmas, but Thanksgiving will be all about “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.” Jennifer Lawrence is back as reluctant hero Katniss, hurled back into competition against fellow past winners of the life-or-death games. The usual worry after a critical and commercial

‘Twilight’ finale leads Razzies worst-of list LOS ANGELES (AP) — The “Twilight” finale had better reviews than the franchise’s previous four movies, but you’d never know it from the Razzie nominations singling out Hollywood’s worst of the year. “The Twilight Saga:

Breaking Dawn Part 2” led the Razzies lineup late Tuesday with 11 nominations, including worst picture, lead-acting slots for Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, and supportingacting nominations for Taylor Lautner and Ashley Greene.

Other worst-picture nominees are the naval action tale “Battleship,” the family flick “The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure,” Adam Sandler’s raunchy dud “That’s My Boy” and Eddie Murphy’s comedy flop “A Thousand Words.”

A spoof of the Academy Awards, the Razzies announcement came a little more than a day before Thursday’s Oscar nominations. Winners for the 33rd annual Razzies will be announced Feb. 23, the night before the Oscar show.

The final installment in the supernatural romance involving vampires, werewolves and a moody schoolgirl, “Breaking Dawn Part 2” also had nominations for worst director for Bill Condon, plus worst sequel, screenplay and screen ensemble. I

smash is whether the sequel can match up. Lawrence isn’t sweating that, though. “I didn’t think, we’ve got to do as good or better, which is probably a very basic thing to think about. It’s probably a good idea to think that way,” Lawrence said. “But I didn’t. Then when I read the script and started seeing everything developing, I really did think it could be better. And I’m definitely not worrying about it being worse or disappointing. I don’t even consider that.” Other highlights for September through December: the animated sequel “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2”; 3-D reissues of “The Little Mermaid” and the “Star Wars” prequels “Attack of the Clones” and “Revenge of the Sith”; Tom Hanks’ Somali pirate saga “Captain Phillips”; Chloe Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore’s new take on Stephen King’s “Carrie”; Vince Vaughn’s spermdonor comedy “Delivery Man”; Chris Hemsworth’s superhero sequel “Thor: The Dark World”; the animated TV cartoon adaptation “Mr. Peabody & Sherman”; the wintry animated adventure “Frozen”; Will Ferrell’s comedy sequel “Anchorman II”; Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson’s “Mary Poppins” behind-the-scenes story “Saving Mr. Banks”; Chris Pine’s Tom Clancy thriller “Jack Ryan”; Keanu Reeves’ samurai adventure “47 Ronin”; George Clooney’s World War II tale “The Monuments Men”; and Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline’s bachelor bash “Last Vegas.” 2356599

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It’s not really news that Arnold Schwarzenegger is back this year. Everybody else in Hollywood is, too, so why not the former California governor? Schwarzenegger’s back with this month’s action tale “The Last Stand,” while fellow aging action star Bruce Willis returns in February’s “A Good Day to Die Hard,” the fifth installment in his “Die Hard” series. Superheroes return throughout the year with “Iron Man 3,” ”The Wolverine,” ”Thor: The Dark World” and a new take on Superman with “Man of Steel.” Animated pals revisit with follow-ups to “Despicable Me,” ”Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,” ”The Smurfs,” and “Monsters, Inc.” Horror is resurrected with fresh stabs at “Carrie” and “The Evil Dead.” Action crews re-enlist for more on the “G.I. Joe,” ”The Fast and the Furious” and “Star Trek” fronts. Comedy crews go for more laughs with “The Hangover Part III” and “Grown Ups 2.” Even old favorites such as “Jurassic Park,” ”The Little Mermaid” and a couple more “Star Wars” prequels come back in 3-D reissues. And the next chapters quickly follow for two of 2012’s biggest hits with “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” and “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.” The second “Hobbit” originally was supposed to finish Peter Jackson’s prelude to his “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, until Warner Bros. and the filmmakers decided last year to shoot more footage and make it another three-pack. To expand the relatively slender “The Hobbit” into a three-movie epic, Jackson has borrowed heavily from J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” appendices, which fill in much of the Middleearth back-story about dwarf history, elf lore and the mysterious comings and goings of Ian McKellen’s wizard, Gandalf. “In ‘The Hobbit,’ Gandalf accompanies the dwarves on the journey, but from time to time, he disappears. He says, ‘Right, I’ve got some important things to do. I’ll meet you up at so-and-so,’” Jackson said. “Tolkien wrote a lot of, like, story outlines for what was happening to Gandalf during that time, and it was all ‘Lord of the Rings’ stuff. … We’ve been weaving that material into ‘The Hobbit,’ so this is ‘The Hobbit’ expanded, using Tolkien’s own text to do so.” Here’s a look at other 2013 movie highlights: WINTER AND SPRING: This used to be the dead zone, when studios dumped stinkers into theaters and counted the days until summer blockbuster season. Yet recently, the first few months of the year have yielded big hits, including “The Hunger Games” and “Dr. Seuss’ the Lorax” last March. In “The Last Stand,” Schwarzenegger is back for

BOOK REVIEW

‘Blood Gospel’ is thriller By the AP “The Blood Gospel” (William Morrow), by James Rollins and Rebecca Cantrell: James Rollins, king of the actionadventure thriller, and award-winning novelist Rebecca Cantrell, author of four Hannah Vogel mysteries set in pre-World War II Nazi Germany, combine their talents and create a supernatural page turner in “The Blood Gospel.” Fans will discover a storytelling voice vastly different from the authors’ individual novels. Rollins uses science and history to deepen the suspense in his books. Cantrell’s stories ooze atmosphere, transporting the reader into a vivid world as if being transported back in time. Together they have introduced a series that will certainly create as much debate and scrutiny as Dan Brown’s “The Da Vinci Code.” Dr. Erin Granger and her team are examining an archaeological dig in Caesarea, Israel, when she’s asked to assist in Masada. A hidden tomb has been uncovered in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake. A deadly gas was released during the quake, and the sole survivor is shocked to discover that his cancer-ridden body is now disease-free. Granger teams up with a military forensic expert and a Vatican priest to examine the tomb. While unearthing a sarcophagus, the team is attacked by strange creatures. “The Blood Gospel” is a combination of religious conspiracy and another popular genre, and to reveal more about the concept behind this engaging novel would be a crime.

Book chronicles Idaho’s rural airstrips TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) — Twin Falls pilot Steve Mulberry flipped through an Idaho author’s thick new book on backcountry aviation, pausing at a 1970 photo from a mountain airstrip. “This is the Twin Otter I used to fly in Alaska I can’t believe it,” said Mulberry, 59, who reported for his job as an Alaskan bush pilot three days after his Boise State University graduation in 1975. In the 557-page hardcover “Bound for the Backcountry: A History of Idaho’s Remote Airstrips,” those moments of recognition might be plentiful for any pilot with experience in the Idaho backcountry. Written by Richard H. Holm Jr. of Boise and McCall, the book chronicles the personalities and aircraft important to nearly a hundred of Idaho’s isolated airstrips. “Almost with every picture I recognize something, it brings back a memory,” Mulberry said, spotting pilots’ names and aircraft models as he scanned the pages. “This is a real great history; I don’t think you’ll ever find a history like this.” These days Mulberry flies a 747 for United Airlines, and photos of Idaho wilderness share space on his cell phone with his cockpit photography of Siberia’s snow-crusted peaks. He’d returned from Hong Kong two days earlier and would head for Sydney, Australia, next. But Mulberry still owns a Cessna 185, a model suited to the heavy loads and short takeoffs and landings of Idaho mountain flying. He takes his sons airplane camping every summer — in 2012, for instance, at the

AP PHOTO/COURTESY OF RICHARD HOLM

This undated image shows author Richard Holm in his Cessna at Moose Creek located in the Selway Bitterroot wilderness in Idaho. Holm’s book chronicles the personalities and aircraft important to nearly a hundred of Idaho’s isolated airstrips. remote Warm Springs airstrip on the South Fork of the Payette River. He flies war veterans into the backcountry for Wounded Warrior programs, and he donates plane time to search for lost snowmobiles, lost hunters and missing aircraft. Mountain flying is dangerous. It requires humility and a knowledge of the limits of both pilot and aircraft. And it’s dreadfully hard to make a living at it, Mulberry said. “You can’t eat scenery,” he said, echoing advice he heard as a young flier. Still, those long-ago years were a wonderful life. “I savor every moment of the mountain flying. That was the best.” You’ll find a lot of that

sentiment in Holm’s book. As a University of Idaho student, Holm, now 30, got interested in the state’s backcountry history. As a pilot, he does seasonal air taxi work such as regional charter flights and delivering river rafters to their putin destinations, particularly on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. The two interests combined in his “Bound for the Backcountry,” whose narrative backdrop is “how aviation … shaped what we think of as wilderness areas.” The book’s early chapters put Idaho’s remote flying into the context of 1930s fire suppression; the shift of backcountry homesteads from serving minors to attracting hunters and

anglers; the explosion of whitewater river sports; and The Wilderness Act of 1964. But the bulk of this thick volume is devoted to heavily researched accounts of individual strips: how and why they were built, who was involved and any interesting tales, funny or tragic, attached to them. “It’s very, very good and comprehensive of the origination of a lot of ranches,” said pilot Dick Waite, 86, of Hagerman, who has flown over Idaho for 67 years. “It’s a great book that Richard did.” One of the book’s most tragic tales involves a blown cylinder on a DC-3 148Z’s right engine above the Selway River in 1979. The flaming engine tore away from the wing, and the right landing gear dropped. The pilots maneuvered the wounded aircraft through the walls of the Selway canyon, Holm writes, but when the left wing struck a tree they lost all control. The images captured by a newspaper photographer hiking up the Selway show the outline of the DC-3 and smoke trailing from the falling engine below it. The crash killed both pilots and eight of the 10 passengers. But the history has its heroes, too. Among them is helicopter pilot Rod Snider, who descended through thick smoke, flames, airborne embers and intense heat and wind over and over to rescue trapped smokejumpers four at a time in 1961 near Grangeville. Holm tells the story with enough technical detail for aircraft-savvy readers to appreciate the difficulty of the feat, but with all the humanity that another reader might crave.

“It’s more dangerous flying than you’re going to find in other places, and as a result there are a lot of accidents back there,” Holm said in a telephone interview. In general, pilots who operate in Idaho’s backcountry are humble, understated folks, he said. It takes that to fly in these conditions: heat and altitude that lower aircraft performance, heavy loads, tight canyon maneuvers, smoke. “They do some pretty amazing things these people who have been at it for 30 years,” Holm said. A key figure in Twin Falls’ aviation history makes an appearance in Holm’s account of a crew who bailed out of a B-17 bomber during World War II over the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. Charles Reeder who in 1941 started Reeder Flying Service in Twin Falls made a daring night landing at Indian Creek to help in the crew’s 1943 rescue. “… the only way he could identify the airstrip was the reflection of the snow between the trees,” Holm writes. Mulberry played a role at the Falconberry Ranch homestead on Loon Creek, a large tributary to the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. Dr. John Hatch of Idaho Falls, who owned the Falconberry property for decades, decided in 1977 that a tennis court would be just the thing for his remote ranch. Mulberry, a family friend home from a summer of Alaska flying and the new owner of a Cessna 185, made 149 landings there to shuttle sacks of cement for the tennis court, Holm writes.

“You cannot out-exercise a poor diet,” Smith said. Christie Ferriell, diabetes and nutrition education coordinator at Reid Hospital & Health Care Services, encourages people to “try to find what works for them instead of going with a one-size-fits-all diet. They need to think about what motivates them and what creates results for them.” Ferriell, a registered and certified dietitian, said there is nothing wrong with a New Year’s resolution to lose weight, but “I … encourage people to focus less on the number of pounds they want to lose and more on how they want to feel.” Specific and measurable “smart goals” can help change daily habits and create a feeling of success. Ferriell gives vegetables as an example. Instead of just saying “I will eat more vegetables,” she suggests saying “I will eat one serving of vegetables every day.” Once that habit has been established, the goal can be changed to two servings a day, and so on. “Research shows a person is more likely to reach

specific goals,” Ferriell said. Smith agrees. “Instead of asking ‘What am I going to do this year?’ ask ‘What am I going to do this week?’” she said. But Smith also warned anyone setting goals that some failure is inevitable. “You are going to screw up,” she said. “The idea is not to be perfect but to learn from your mistakes.” Plan for growth of spirit “Any time we make a resolution … that’s good for spiritual growth, that’s good emotionally,” said Martin Holman, pastor of Hillcrest Baptist Church in Richmond. The start of a new year is a good time to make resolutions, he said, recommending that people take up some daily practices based on scripture. First, Holman cited the call for daily study of the Bible in Acts 11:17 to suggest that everyone set aside some quiet time every day. “We need a time to get away from the stress of relationships, jobs and financial worries,” he said. Secondly, Holman recommends daily prayer. “It’s a way of saying, ‘Hey, we can’t handle some of this by ourselves. We need a greater strength,’”

he said. Thirdly, “resolve to encourage somebody every day,” Holman said, referring to Hebrews 13:3 in the Bible. “People get beat up on a lot these days,” he said. “We need to help each other out.” Another good resolution, Holman said, is to “live every day as if this is the day Christ will come.” It’s human nature to put things off until the last minute, but as a Christian he believes we do not know when the last minute will be. Resolve now to live the life you would want to be living then, he suggested. Finally, cherish and cultivate the family and family relationships, Holman said. “In our culture today, I think the most important thing we have in our lives is family.” Michelle Fields of Centerville, who spent time enjoying the snow recently at Roosevelt Hill in Richmond, offered her spiritual resolution: “To become more grounded in my faith in God.”

MORTGAGE WATCH

Mortgage rate rises to 3.40 percent WASHINGTON (AP) — Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages rose this week but remained close to record lows. Cheap mortgages have made home buying more affordable and helped drive a housing recovery. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average rate on the 30-year loan increased to 3.40 percent from 3.34 percent last week. That’s still near the 3.31 percent rate reached in November, the lowest on records dating to 1971. The average on the 15-year fixed mortgage increased to 2.66 percent from 2.64 percent last week. The record low is 2.63 percent. Mortgage rates tend to track the yield on the 10-year Treasury note. The yield on the note has risen this year from 1.70 percent to 1.89 percent Thursday. A deal between Congress and the White House to avoid sharp tax increases and a mildly positive employment report for December led investors last week to buy stocks and sell Treasurys. As demand for Treasurys declines, the yield increases. Even with the increase, mortgage rates are hovering near historic lows. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate averaged 3.66 percent in 2012, the lowest annual average in 65 years, according to Freddie Mac. Cheaper mortgages are a key reason the housing market began to come back last year. Many economists predict the housing recovery will strengthen in 2013. Home prices are steadily increasing, which makes consumers feel wealthier and more likely to spend. Another reason for the housing rebound is that there aren’t enough houses for sale. A limited supply has created demand for new construction, which has made builders more confident. Lower mortgage rates also have persuaded more people to refinance. That typically leads to lower monthly mortgage payments and more spending. Consumer spending drives nearly 70 percent of economic activity. Still, the housing market has a long way to a full recovery. And many people are unable to take advantage of the low rates, either because they can’t qualify for stricter lending rules or they lack the money to meet larger down payment requirements.

I’m one of the most disorganized people in the world. I run at such a high speed, my home is in constant chaos. So this January, I’m resolving to change my ways. I’m going to take three key steps to get my year off to a well-organized start. Here are three spots to start off with. • Step 1: Tame Your Entry The area around the entry door you use most often is one of the hardest spots in your home to keep organized. As we cross the threshold, we immediately dump everything on the first surface we see. In my home, this is my kitchen table, which has the misfortune of being a few steps from our back door. This poor table is where we pile our coats, mail, keys and cellphones. Without an organizational plan, it can look like a war zone in a matter of hours. Chances are you don’t have room to set up a coming-in-and-going-out station by your entry. But you can still use some of the ideas to organize your space. I started by hanging heavy-grade decorative hooks by my back door to catch coats, the dog leash and briefcases. Another trick I’m trying is to convert a drawer in the kitchen cabinet nearest the door into a catchall space to hold cellphones, sunglasses and keys. If my husband embraces this system, it will revolutionize his morning. He will no longer have to start his day with the phrase, “Have you seen my keys?” The drawer next to it will hold mail — bills and invitations we need to attend to.

Brighten the walls of a laundry room with some paint or paper, then use baskets to organize laundry-room essentials. With all the important mail corralled into one small drawer, I hope I will no longer be accused of losing the bills. • Step 2: Make Your Work Areas Work Well Next, aim to make your workrooms streamlined and stylish. My laundry is in my scary, dark, icky basement,

which resembles a dungeon in the Tower of London. Renovating this cell of a room would cost more than my home is worth, so it’s not going to change anytime soon. Maybe that’s why I love my friends’ lovely laundry rooms so much. Every time I walk into my friend Cynthia’s laundry

room, I am green with envy. This space was pretty lackluster until she used her ample creative energy to remake it. Instead of going to the expense of remodeling, she just painted her outdated cabinets a warm white. Then, she filled the open • See ORGANIZE on C2

Homes prices were up nationally in 2012 from a year ago. According to the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices, home prices continued to rise in the third quarter of 2012, marking six months in a row of increases. The national composite index was up 3.6 percent over the third quarter of 2011 and up 2.2 percent from the second quarter of 2012. Home prices have returned to their mid-2003 levels nationally, after bottoming out at around the 2001 level in 2009. Consumer confidence in November 2012 was at its highest

Organize addiction and like to entertain a lot, I have lots of supplies to stash away. So every single drawer in every piece of furniture in my living room is packed full of linens, trays and candles. Beautiful baskets and boxes also make great hidden storage units. Or you can store stuff in plain view when you use gorgeous storage containers, like silver, glass and china serving pieces. When I decorated the little office on the sun porch off my bedroom, I used some of my pretty treasures to hold my stuff. Forget the office superstore — go shopping in your china cabinet. Convert a vase into a penholder, use a tray for your inbox, stash paper clips in porcelain jars. Pretty jewelry is like artwork. So why keep it hidden away in a jewelry box when you’re not wearing it? I put my rings and bracelets in a porcelain server on my desk for some eye candy. What else can you store out in public view, turning it into a lovely display and conversation piece? Maybe your grandmother’s china? A few pieces of a favorite collection? Some old photos?

shelves with her enviable collection of dishes, displaying them so beautifully the scene could be from a decorating magazine. Since her washer and dryer were not so lovely to look at, she hid them behind a standing wooden screen. To make the mundane magnificent, she put her laundry detergent into delicate decanters. Do you have any old decanters you can use in your laundry room? Serving pieces you can use to hold laundry supplies? Bring them out and make your daily grind a bit more beautiful. • Step 3: Get Creative with Storage When you live in an old home like I do, you get really good at creating storage space. Through the years, I’ve become a master at selecting furnishings and accents that are not only beautiful but also can store my stuff. Sometimes every organizational tool you need is right under your nose — you just have to see your furnishings and accents with new eyes. For example, pick pieces for your living areas that have lots of drawers and closed cabinets. You can pack these drawers full of games, photo albums — anyThe column has been adapted thing. from Mary Carol Garrity’s blog Since I have a serious dish at www.nellhills.com.

28 percent in October 2011 to 24 percent a year later, and nondistressed sales have increased. This has resulted in an increase in the median home price. The median existing-home price rose 11.1 percent in October 2012 from October 2011, according to the National Association of Realtors. This was the eighth consecutive monthly year-over-year increase. Half the homes sold during a period sold for more than the median and half for less. There have been periods of monthly year-over-year increases in median home price during the last several years. But, none have matched the length of the recent wave of increases since the period between October 2005 and May 2006, which was before the recent housing recession. The Census Bureau reported a big increase in the annual average household formations in the 12 months ending in September 2012. Nationally, 1.15 million new households were formed, a little under the long-term average of 1.25 household formations a year. But, this was significantly more than the annual average of 650,000 new households

formed during the previous four years. All of this is good news for the housing market, which many economists feel is in recovery after six years of the worst housing recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s. And there is cautious optimism going forward. HOUSE HUNTING TIP: The state of the housing market is not steady across the nation. For example, areas that have strong job growth like the Silicon Valley, San Francisco Bay Area, North Dakota, Texas and Denver are generating jobs, which create demand for housing. The economies in these areas are tied to oil production and technology. Phoenix is the leader in terms of annual growth, up 20.4 percent in 2012 as of the end of the third quarter, according to David Blitzer, chairman of the Index Committee of the S&P Dow Jones Indices. This is one of the markets most heavily hit during the recession. On the other end of the spectrum, Blitz reported that the September housing data showed an annual decline in the growth rates in Chicago and New York City of 1.5 percent and 2.3 percent, respectively. Ken Rosen, chairman for

real estate and economics at the University of California, Berkeley’s Haas Business School, spoke at a recent symposium during which he said the housing market is in recovery in most parts of the country. However, some places, like Las Vegas, will never get back to their former growth rate. He pointed out the importance of focusing on local areas. For instance, even though the San Francisco Bay Area housing market is moving ahead nicely, the West Bay (San Francisco south to Silicon Valley) is having a stronger recovery than the East Bay. Rosen noted that the housing market is cyclical; that can’t be stopped. There will be booms and busts. He thinks now is a good time to buy. Interest rates are low and will increase as the economy improves. THE CLOSING: Select where you buy carefully, expect volatility to continue, and don’t buy for the short term.

help. If you choose one of the loose-fill materials, some of the bigbox stores will either loan or rent the blower equipment necessary for installation. This is not a DIY project, and for safety reasons it should be a team effort. 1. Wear a longsleeved shirt and use gloves, eye protection and dust masks for personal protection. 2. Use walk boards across the ceiling joists when working in the attic. 3. Do not leave the boards behind because this will reduce the Rvalue of your insulation. 4. Do not work near electrical wiring unless the power to the home has been turned off. Inspect the wiring and have a licensed electrician make repairs if the wiring has been damaged or if you can see where two or more wires have been spliced. Spliced wires must be inside a junction box. 5. Do not cover pot or canned light fixtures unless the lighting is approved for insulation. 6. Do not cover bathroom vent fans. Moisture from the fans

will damage the insulation and the roof structure. Fans must be vented to the outside. 7. Do not cover the venting to the attic from the soffits (roof’s overhang). 8. Do not allow the insulating materials to touch the underside of the roof’s decking. Condensation can form, which would damage both the insulation and the roof decking. 9. Batts covered with paper or foil cannot be used to cover existing insulation. The paper or foil is a vapor barrier and will hold moisture next to the existing insulation. If you find existing insulation with the paper or foil exposed to the attic, simply peel the facing off the batts before adding additional insulation. Remove the flammable paper or foil from the attic space. 10. Make plans to insulate the attic access cover, door or stairs and, finally, add a self-adhesive foam seal for the attic access when the job is done. Dwight Barnett is a certified master inspector.
