X Games star dies from crash injuries Caleb Moore was a Texas kid drawn to the snow, rehearsing complicated tricks on a snowmobile into a foam pit back home until they became second nature and ready for the mountains. With his younger brother following along and constantly pushing him, Moore became a rising talent in action sports. The innovative freestyle snowmobile rider, who was hurt in a crash at the Winter X Games in Colorado, died Thursday morning. He was 25. See Page 5.

BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@civitasmedia.com St. Patrick Catholic Schools know how to celebrate in service and in style. This week, the parochial school celebrated National Catholic Schools Week, with special activities and charitable services. On “Souper” Thursday, students wore their favorite team’s gear in preparation for the staff versus student volleyball game. Students also brought in 152 canned goods to donate to the St. Patrick Soup Kitchen to wind down the week of service and celebration. Seventh grade student Zach Bopp and sixth grade student Lauren Roy are members of the Faith Committee and helped come up with creative ideas to celebrate the week in a fun and charitable way. Bopp and Roy helped sort through more than 190 pairs of brand new socks which the school will donate to a local nursing home. The new socks were part of “Wacky Wednesday” and encouraged students to donate new socks for the residents of the nursing home as they wore “crazy socks.” Principal Cyndi Cathcart said the Faith

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton issued a parting warning Thursday about Syria’s civil war, accusing Iran of playing an increasingly prominent role in directing the violence, which she said heightened the danger of a larger regional conflict that draws in Israel or other neighbors. “I’ve done what was possible to do,” Clinton told reporters on the eve of her last day as secretary of state. But she painted a harrowing picture of a war that could still get worse. “The worst kind of predictions about what could happen internally and spilling over the borders of Syria are certainly within the realm of the possible now,” she said. The conflict “is distressing on all fronts,” Clinton told a roundtable of journalists Thursday, a day STAFF PHOTO/ANTHONY WEBER before John Kerry is sworn Students of St. Patrick School including Zach Bopp and Lauren Roy sort socks that in as her successor.

They are praying and asking all of us to pray with them.” Republican Rep. Steve Clouse, who represents the Midland City area, said he visited the boy’s mother Thursday and that she is “hanging on by a thread.” “Everybody is praying with her for the boy,” he said. Clouse said the mother told him that the boy has Asperger’s syndrome, an autism-like disorder, as well as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. Police have been delivering medication to him through the pipe, he said. The normally quiet red clay road was teeming Thursday with more than a dozen police cars and trucks, a fire truck, a helicopter, officers from multiple agencies, media and at least one ambulance near Midland City, population 2,300. Dykes was known around the neighborhood as a menacing figure who neighbors said once beat a dog to death with a lead pipe, threatened to shoot children for setting foot on his property and patrolled his yard at night with a flashlight and a firearm. The chief confirmed that Dykes held anti-government views, as described by multiple neighbors: “He’s against the government starting with Obama on down.” “He doesn’t like law enforcement or the government telling him what to do,” he said. “He’s just a loner.” Authorities say the gunman boarded a stopped school bus Tuesday afternoon and demanded two boys between 6 and 8 years old. When the driver tried to block his way, the gunman shot him several times and took a 5-year-old boy off the bus.

Roy said a few of her favorite saint facts included the Saint Catherine of Sienna and Elizabeth Seton. “Catherine of Sienna was beheaded but when people looked at her body there were roses so we decorated the door with roses,” Roy said. “I liked Saint Elizabeth Seton the best. She started the very first Catholic School in America.” “And she was the first Catholic in America to

The bus driver, Charles Albert Poland Jr., 66, was hailed by locals as a hero who gave his life to protect the 21 students aboard the bus. No motive has been discussed by investigators, but the police chief said the FBI had evidence suggesting it could be considered a hate crime. Federal authorities have not released any details about the standoff or the investigation. The mayor said he hasn’t seen anything tying together Dykes’ anti-government views and the allegations against him. Dykes had been scheduled to appear in court Wednesday to answer charges he shot at his neighbors in a dispute last month over a speed bump. Neighbor Claudia Davis said he yelled and fired shots at her, her son and her baby grandson over damage Dykes claimed their pickup truck did to a makeshift speed bump in the dirt road. No one was hurt. The son, James Davis Jr., believes Tuesday’s shooting was connected to the court date. “I

believe he thought I was going to be in court and he was going to get more charges than the menacing, which he deserved, and he had a bunch of stuff to hide and that’s why he did it.” Neighbors described a number of other run-ins with Dykes in the time since he moved to this small town near the Georgia and Florida borders, in a region known for peanut farming. A neighbor directly across the street, Brock Parrish, said Dykes usually wore overalls and glasses and his posture was hunched-over. He said Dykes usually drove a run-down “creeper” van with some of the windows covered in aluminum foil. Parrish saw him often digging in his yard, as if he was preparing a spot to lay down a driveway or a building foundation. He lived in a small camping trailer on the site. He patrolled his lawn at night, walking from corner to corner with a flashlight and an assault rifle. Mike and Patricia Smith, who

• CONTINUED FROM 1 threatened Thursday to retaliate for an Israeli airstrike, and its ally Iran warned ominously that the Jewish state would regret the attack. In a letter to the U.N. secretary-general, Assad’s regime stressed its “right to defend itself, its territory and sovereignty” and holding Israel and its supporters accountable. And Ali Abdul-Karim Ali, Assad’s ambassador in Lebanon, said his government maintained “the option and the capacity to surprise in retaliation.” Clinton declined to talk specifically about Israel’s strike, which U.S. officials described as targeting trucks containing sophisticated Russian-made SA-17 anti-aircraft missiles. The trucks were next to a military research facility, and the strike hit both the trucks and the facility, U.S. officials said. If the SA-17s were to have reached Hezbollah, they would have greatly inhibited the Israeli air force’s ability to operate in Lebanon, where Israel has flown frequent sorties in recent years. The attack has inflamed regional tensions already running high over Syria’s 22-month-old civil war, and which has already led to deaths in neighboring Turkey and Lebanon. In her strikingly candid assessment, Clinton spread

also live across the street from Dykes and whose two children were on the bus, said their youngsters had a run-in with him about 10 months ago. “My bulldogs got loose and went over there,” Patricia Smith said. “The children went to get them. He threatened to shoot them if they came back.” Another neighbor, Ronda Wilbur, said Dykes beat her 120pound dog with a lead pipe for coming onto his side of the dirt road. The dog died a week later. “He said his only regret was he didn’t beat him to death all the way,” Wilbur said. “If a man can kill a dog, and beat it with a lead pipe and brag about it, it’s nothing until it’s going to be people.” Court records showed Dykes was arrested in Florida in 1995 for improper exhibition of a weapon, but the misdemeanor was dismissed. The circumstances of the arrest were not detailed in his criminal record. He was also arrested for marijuana possession in 2000.

the criticism to Russia, which has stymied U.S.-led efforts to set global sanctions against the Syrian regime at the U.N. Security Council. Washington and Moscow have remained in a three-way dialogue with the U.N. special envoy for Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, since late last year, but Clinton said the Russians were simultaneously providing financial assistance and military equipment to Assad. “The Russians are not passive bystanders in their support for Assad. They have been much more active,” she told reporters. “But maybe they will change. And maybe they will be more open to an international solution because they can’t look at what’s happening and not believe it could be incredibly dangerous to everyone’s interests, including theirs.” Despite the dismal outlook of the war, Clinton stressed she in no way has softened her opposition to the United States providing weapons to Syrian rebels or intervening militarily to halt the conflict. Asked about America’s Gulf allies who have sent arms to the Syrian opposition, Clinton said the Obama administration continues to urge caution on the types of materiel being supplied and vetting recipients. The U.S. fears that if extremist groups get dangerous weapons, they could then use them against

American interests or Israel. “Sitting here today, I can’t tell you that we’ve been entirely successful in that,” Clinton said. “There are those who are supplying weapons and money for weapons, who really don’t care who gets it as long as they are against Assad and who have the view that once Assad is gone, then we’ll deal with the consequences of these other groups who are now armed and funded. That’s not our view.” She stressed that a political solution was necessary, and defended Syria’s top opposition leader for suggesting earlier this week that he’d be willing to negotiate with members of Assad’s regime. The call provoked an outcry from rebels who insist that Assad must step down first. And she urged Kerry to press on with efforts at the United Nations and elsewhere to “create more credibility for the opposition” and create the possibility for more forceful international action to end the war. “I think I’ve done what was possible to do over the last two years in trying to create or help stand up an opposition that was credible and could be an interlocutor in any kind of political negotiation,” Clinton said. “We’ve engaged in a steady drumbeat of activities and trying to put together a coalition and trying to find a way to get something through the Security Council that would serve as the international legal basis for further action to be taken by many countries.” 2359696

PERSPECTIVE

“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 San Francisco Chronicle on Boy Scout gay policy: At long last, the Boy Scouts are living up to their professed ideals of fairness and respect by reconsidering a ban on gays. It’s an overdue sign that the organization can square its beliefs with changing American views. Last July, the Scouts stood by a longtime ban, covering both leaders and youths. It was a hurtful move that kicked out a lesbian mom as den leader in Ohio and barred an East Bay teen, Ryan Andresen of Moraga, from achieving Scouting’s top rank of Eagle after he came out as gay. The organization, which marked its 100th anniversary in 2010, might have thought that time could stand still and public awareness could be tamed. But corporate donors withdrew funds, and board members rethought their stand. Recently, President Barack Obama mentioned gays for the first time in an inaugural address. The result is that the Scouts might be reconsidering their ill-chosen stand at an upcoming As I national board meeting. Instead of a top-down See It pronouncement on the topic, the decision will ■ The Troy be left to local groups who sponsor scouting Daily News units.

The measure directs both the House and Senate to pass budget resolutions by April 15. If either chamber fails to pass a budget in that time, members of that body would have their paychecks withheld until one is passed. It also extends the debt ceiling through May 18. That gives Congress and President Barack Obama a few more months to agree to spending cuts — something the Democrats wouldn’t do as part of the deal to avoid going over the so-called fiscal cliff. Yes, the vote means kicking the can down the road a bit longer. But this time, it’s for a good reason. The Democratic-controlled Senate hasn’t passed a budget in four years. That’s inexcusable. It’s also a violation of the 1874 Budget Control Act. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the upper chamber will pass “No Budget, No Pay” fairly quickly. Then both houses can immediately get down to work and approve a budget that reduces debt and is fiscally responsible for the long haul, not one that’s a short-term fix. Putting members of Congress on the spot — Republicans as well as Democrats — is overdue. If duty alone won’t make them do their jobs, maybe the threat of going without paychecks will.

LETTERS

Quit blaming the NRA for problems To the Editor: In regards to an article published on the Jan. 4 opinion page, I would like to point out the article by the Chicago SunTimes is not being factual in its reporting of the response by the National Rifle Association. I watched the broadcast and at no time was there a “blistering and paranoid rant” the article would have you believe occur. The response by NRA Vice President Wayne LaPierre was calm and straight forward. There was no unnecessary outburst of emotions or disrespect

for the tragic event that occurred in Newtown, Conn. If you want to see “blistering and paranoid rants,” just listen to the anti-gun people and politicians who are uneducated about firearms or the laws. If the Chicago Sun-Times wants to make a point about the problem of gun violence, they should instead point out the city of Chicago has the strictest firearm laws in the nation. And yet, before Christmas of 2012, the city was on the verge of breaking its own record for homicides in a year, which stood at 500 deaths. What have they done to

stop this kind of violence? There are 20,000 federal, state, and local laws regarding the use, sale, ownership and transportation of firearms. In Ohio, all legal firearm purchases must be approved with a background check at the time of purchase. You must be 18 years of age to own a long gun and 21 years of age to have a hand gun. How is making new laws going to solve the problem of gun violence? Enforce the laws on the books and stop blaming the NRA .

DOONESBURY

Happy birthday to the two men in my life The two most important guys in my life have been keeping me pretty busy in the birthday department lately. My landlord has a birthday tomorrow. It’s more than fitting that my dad was born on Groundhog’s Day for two reasons. First, he kills these oversized rodents all the time due to the damage they cause to buildings. Good thing there isn’t a Raccoon Day. Second, he is obsessed with the weather, which this mock holiday is centered around. During last summer’s drought, he even wrote a check to our church because he was so desperate for rain. Funny thing, the day the check cleared, we got a decent rain fall. When I asked him if he felt like he got his money’s worth, he just stared at me and smiled. “It is what it is,” he said. He tends to repeat this saying a lot because it’s fitting in most any wacky situations. This is where I get all my amazing wisdom, folks. And last weekend my roommate decided to throw a birthday bash. This getting older when it comes to your own kids (I’ll forever be 23 years old in mind and

Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist in spirit no matter what the calender says) makes me feel all cliche inside. Time really does go fast. They really grow up before your very eyes. Waah! I want him to stay little forever! But I consented to letting him have a couple friends over for the night. Turning 9 years old is a pretty big deal in elementary years. So I took the boys to the Vandalia Rec Center, where they swam for two and a half hours straight. They also spent the majority of their time in the nifty little current pool, which just looks exhausting. Ever wonder why every family gets a pool pass? It’s not because it’s part of the summer fun, or a great way to spend a day in the sun.

— Gary L. Cooper Troy

It’s because it is one of the most exhausting forms of exercise disguised as playtime that is both legally and socially acceptable. This isn’t my first rodeo. I also tried to brave the waters. I believe the older one gets, the less tolerance one has for being submerged in any liquid that has a temperature less than bath water — something I definitely learned a few years ago when I spent some time in the Heywood Carnival dunk tank. As a kid, if the water was slightly chilly, it was no big deal. These days, if it makes my teeth chatter, you’ll find me reading a magazine poolside. (Grandma disclaimer: There were life guards on duty and I kept an eye on them, too). So these three energized third graders hit the waters and didn’t come to shore until they finally noticed their eyes were burning from the chlorine — so we returned home. While my dog Shorty and I hid in my bedroom, video game after video game was being played in the living room. I didn’t want them to turn on me and stage a military style coup. Trying to counteract the sugar-infused birthday treat, I

tossed out a few bags of popcorn in the living room. No such luck. I surrendered and just hoped nature would take over. The last time I looked at the clock it was 1:07 a.m. Then I was woken up by a request for immediate hydration and saw the clock glaring at me with 7:14 a.m. I forgot birthday sleepovers were exempt from sleeping in. I reminded Evan of his functioning two legs and the well-stocked refrigerator full of juice boxes. Once again, they were up playing video games as I tried to feed them pancakes and sausage links. That lasted three minutes. JJ managed to inhale six pancakes while Evan and Mason pretended to eat and then ran off to play. I like a kid with a big appetite. I then sent them home. You know they have had a good time when they don’t want to go home. I was flattered, but really tired. So here’s hoping both my roommate and my landlord have wonderful birthdays because they are my favorite guys on Earth. It is what it is. “Twin” Melanie Yingst appears on Fridays in the Troy Daily News. Only 27 days until her birthday!

Liza was born June 28, 1984, in Troy, Ohio, and spent her childhood years in Westfield, N.J., and Columbus, Ohio. After completing her BS in biology from Colby College in Waterville, Maine, Liza was pursuing her physician assistant’s degree from the University of Washington.

A funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. Monday, Feb. 4, at Trinity Episcopal Church in Troy, Ohio, with interment to follow at Riverside Cemetery in Troy.

FUNERAL DIRECTORY and support they have received from people around the world. X Games officials expressed their condolences and said Moore, a four-time X Games medalist, would be remembered “for his natural passion for life and his deep love for his family and friends.” B.C. Vaught, Caleb Moore’s agent for almost a decade, said he first saw Moore when he was racing an ATV in Minnesota and signed him up to star in some action sports movies. Later, Moore wanted to make the switch from ATVs to snowmobiles and Vaught helped him. A natural talent, it only took Moore two weeks to master a difficult backflip. Moore honed his skills in Krum, a town about 5,000 people 50 miles northwest of Dallas that rarely sees snow. Instead, he worked on tricks by launching his sled into a foam pit. After a brief training run on snow ramps in Michigan, he was ready for his sport’s biggest stage the 2010 Winter X Games. In that contest, Moore captured a bronze in freestyle and finished sixth in best trick. Two years later, his biography on ESPN said, “Caleb Moore has gone from

‘beginner’s luck’ to ‘serious threat.’” That was hardly a surprise to Vaught, who said, “Whatever he wanted to do, he did it.” Vaught said Moore didn’t believe his sport was too extreme, but rather “it was a lifestyle.” He was good at it along with ATV racing as he accumulated a garage full of trophies. Fellow snowmobile rider Levi LaVallee recently described Moore as a “fierce competitor.” “A very creative mind,” LaVallee said. “I’ve watched him try some crazy, crazy tricks and some of them were successful, some of them not so much. But he was first guy to get back on a sled and go try it again. It shows a lot of heart.” X Games officials said in a statement that they would conduct a thorough review of freestyle snowmobiling events and adopt any appropriate changes. “For 18 years, we have worked closely on safety issues with athletes, course designers and other experts. Still, when the world’s best compete at the highest level in any sport, risks remain,” they said, noting that Moore was hurt performing a move he had done several times before.

DEATHS OF NATIONAL INTEREST • Ann Rabson FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Pianist and vocalist Ann Rabson, cofounder of the trio Saffire_The Uppity Blues Women, died Wednesday in Virginia after a battle with cancer, her label announced. She was 67. A barrelhouse blues pianist, Rabson was also a songwriter and guitarist. She recorded eight albums with Saffire and one solo CD for Alligator Records. She made three solo albums for other labels. Rabson was best known for her work with Saffire, which she formed with one of her guitar students, Gaye Adegbalola. Andra Faye McIntosh completed the trio, which had a loyal following. Saffire disbanded in 2009 after 25 years of performing. While Rabson didn’t

start playing piano until she was 35, DownBeat magazine said she played “bluesy, honky-tonk piano with staggering authority.” A native New Yorker who grew up in Ohio, she moved to Fredericksburg in 1971 where she gave music lessons on the side. Her father gave her a guitar when she was 17 and she idolized blues greats such as Memphis Minnie and Big Bill

Broonzy. “Blues speaks to me directly,” she said. “It wasn’t a choice. I was drawn to it naturally, sort of like a sheepdog with sheep.” Alligator president Bruce Iglauer, a friend and producer, described Rabson as a “delightful, smart and funny person” and a dedicated champion of the blues. “We were blessed to have known her,” he said in a statement. 2362620

DENVER (AP) Caleb Moore was a Texas kid drawn to the snow, rehearsing complicated tricks on a snowmobile into a foam pit back home until they became second nature and ready for the mountains. With his younger brother following along and constantly pushing him, Moore became a rising talent in action sports. The innovative freestyle snowmobile rider, who was hurt in a crash at the Winter X Games in Colorado, died Thursday morning. He was 25. Moore had been undergoing care at a hospital in Grand Junction since the Jan. 24 crash. Family spokeswoman Chelsea Lawson confirmed his death, the first in the 18year history of the X Games. “He lived his life to the fullest. He was an inspiration,” Lawson said. A former all-terrain vehicle racer, Moore switched over to snowmobiles as a teenager and quickly rose to the top of the sport. He won four Winter X Games medals, including a bronze last season when his younger brother, Colten, captured gold. Caleb Moore was attempting a backflip in the freestyle event in Aspen last week when the skis on his 450-pound snowmobile caught the lip of the landing area, sending him flying over the handlebars. Moore landed face first into the snow with his snowmobile rolling over him. Moore stayed down for quite some time, before walking off with help and going to a hospital to treat a concussion. Moore developed bleeding around his heart and was flown to a hospital in Grand Junction for surgery. The family later said that Moore, of Krum, Texas, also had a complication involving his brain. Colten Moore was injured in a separate crash that same night. He suffered a separated pelvis in the spill. The family said in a statement they were grateful for all the prayers

TIPP CITY — William E. Kessler, 83, of Tipp City, departed this Earth on Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2013, after a long courageous battle with cancer. He was born Aug. 24, 1929, in Jacksonville, Fla.

‘Swim Club’ comes to La Comedia Longtime friends catch up during comedy BY AMY MAXWELL Record Herald Writer amaxwell579@gmail.com La Comedia Dinner Theatre, located in Springboro, is currently presenting the comedy “The Dixie Swim Club.” Five Southern women, whose friendships began many years ago on their college swim team, set aside a long weekend every August to recharge those relationships. “The Dixie Swim Club,” directed by Chris Beiser, focuses on four of those weekends and spans a period of 33 years. Free from husbands, kids and jobs, they meet at the same beach cottage on North Carolina’s Outer Banks to catch up, laugh, and meddle in each other’s lives. Sheree, played by Cheryl Salzman, is the “mother hen” of the bunch planning a schedule to follow for the weekends they spend together and even preparing a healthy, but very unappealing, menu for the girls to nosh on. Sheree keeps the girls up to date on “Coach” who fondly remembers the girls over the years and shares his memories with her as he is now not only their former college swim team coach, but her current father-in-law. She shares with the girls the new phase of parenthood she has entered as her and her husband’s two grown children start their own lives, and even the internal struggle she experiences when she becomes a grandmother. During the first scene, as Sheree, of course the first one to arrive at the cottage for the weekend, is busying herself unpacking and tidying up, we next

Forever chasing the fountain of youth, and her next husband, the women can barely appear interested in her latest divorce sagas or plastic surgery procedures. Dinah, played by Linda Dew, the high-powered, workaholic attorney of the bunch, delivers her humorous banter with Lexie the same way she prefers her martini — straight up and dry. When Dinah shifts her focus from her successful career to finding love, a twist is in store for the audience when Dinah’s path crosses with Lexie’s first of many ex-husbands. However, the two women end up sharing a surprisingly touching friendship. The women also experience quite a surprise when Jeri Neal, played by Sue Combs, who they refer affectionately to by her convent name Sister Mary Esther, shows up to one of their weekends at the cottage to share some big news. Jeri Neal’s news is just the beginning of a new path that she will let

the girls in on at each step of the way. The character of Vernette, played by Leslie Jo Bissett, brings her fair share of news to share at the cottage each year, and she’s sure to keep them guessing. Whether she’s explaining why she hobbles in on crutches wearing a clown suit or the illegal or questionable activity her son or daughter are involved in this time, the women will lend an ear, have a laugh and provide Vernette with the support that is non-existent from her couch-loving husband. The ensemble cast carried a great chemistry, becoming a stage version of “The Golden Girls.” All five of the actresses owned their roles and were quite believeble, although Dew portrayed the most character development over time. Anyone can enjoy this heartwarming comedy, but it will most appeal to ladies of the Red Hat Club, who understand the joys and trials of life’s everchanging stages.

Before every show, La Comedia offers a diverse dinner buffet complete with a carving station and its popular sweet potato souffle. Guests are also served La Comedia’s signature salad featuring papaya chutney dressing prior to the buffet, and the meal is finished off by a dessert created specifically for each show by the chef.

AP MOVIE REVIEWS • “Parker” — This plays like the bloodiest promotional video ever made for Palm Beach tourism. Stabbings, explosions and furniture-smashing brawls occur at some of the ritziest locations within the sun-splashed, pastelsoaked slab of Florida opulence. The city is the setting for a $50 million jewel heist as well as some revenge doled out with the usual machine-like efficiency by Jason Statham. As the title character, the anti-hero of many of the novels by Richard Stark (the pseudonym of the late Donald E. Westlake), Statham is stepping into a wellknown persona. But he’s not exactly pushing himself outside his comfort zone. Parker is the kind of thief who lives by a civilized, self-imposed code one he expects others to adhere to, as well. But this is the same character Statham always plays: quietly cool, dryly British, powerfully lethal. Director Taylor Hackford’s rather perfunctory action film is actually more compelling before it even gets to Palm Beach, as Parker makes his way from Ohio to Texas to New Orleans before reaching his final destination. After being double-crossed by his partners (including Michael Chiklis and Wendell Pierce) on a daring robbery of the Ohio State Fair, Parker seeks revenge by tailing them to their next job: hitting the auction of some major jewels that belonged to a late society maven. Jennifer Lopez co-stars as the struggling Palm Beach real estate agent who learns too much and wants a piece of the action, but playing weak and girlish isn’t exactly her strong suit. R for strong violence, language throughout and brief sexual content/nudity. 118 minutes. One and a half stars out of four. • “Broken City” — It should come as no surprise that every character in a movie with a title like this is either rotten to the core, or a liar, or a schemer, or the bearer of seriously damaging secrets. What is surprising is that these characters never feel like real people, despite a series of twists that should, in theory, reveal hidden, unexpected facets of their personalities and despite being played by big-name stars including Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe and Catherine Zeta-Jones. They’re all still conniving, only with varying alliances and targets. At the center of these dizzying double crosses is Wahlberg as Billy Taggart, a former New York police detective who got kicked off the force after a questionable shooting. Seven years later, Billy is barely getting by as a Brooklyn private eye. Then one day, the mayor (Crowe), who’d always been on Billy’s side, hires Billy to investigate whether his wife (Zeta-Jones) is having an affair. He’s up for re-election in a week and doesn’t want to lose to a young, well-financed challenger (Barry Pepper) over revelations that he’s being cuckolded. But Billy’s digging leads to further revelations involving the mayor’s rival, the rival’s campaign manager (Kyle Chandler), the police commissioner (Jeffrey Wright) and some wealthy, well-connected land developers. Everything is simultaneously too complicated and overly spelled out. Director Allen Hughes’ film is a forgettable piece of pulp. R for pervasive language, some violence and sexual content. 108 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.

• “The Last Stand” — The Arnold Schwarzenegger movie you didn’t even realize you wanted to see. This is the action superstar’s first leading role in a decade, having left acting to serve as the governor of California and whatnot, and while it may not have occurred to you to miss him during that time, it’s still surprisingly good to see him on the big screen again. He is not exactly pushing himself here. Korean director Kim Jeewoon’s American filmmaking debut turns out to be an extremely Schwarzeneggerish Schwarzenegger film, full of big, violent set pieces and broad comedy. He may look a little creaky (and facially freaky) these days, but Arnold proves he’s still game for the mayhem as he fires off rounds and tosses off one-liners, and the movie at least has the decency to acknowledge that it knows that you know that he’s old. The script also feels a bit old “The Last Stand” is essentially an amped-up version of “Rio Bravo,” with some “Jackass”-style hijinks courtesy of Johnny Knoxville himself Mexican drug kingpin (Eduardo Noriega) daringly escapes federal custody and heads for a quiet Arizona border town where Schwarzenegger, as the sheriff, rounds up a posse of misfits to stop him. But Kim keeps things moving briskly and the members of the strong supporting cast (Peter Stormare, Luis Guzman, Forest Whitaker) don’t seem to mind that they’re playing flimsy types. Everyone’s just here for a mindless good time. R for strong, bloody violence throughout and language. 107 minutes. Three stars out of four. • “LUV” — This drama about the tragic realities of fathers and sons in unforgiving urban environs can’t measure up to the lyricism of its star’s own music. It stars Common, the thoughtful, charismatic Chicago rhymer who, in three- and four-minute hiphop ruminations, summons more vibrant social imagery than these well-intended but hollow 1 hours. Taking place over a day in Baltimore, “LUV” stars Common as the former convict Vincent, who takes his 11-year-old nephew Woody (Michael Rainey Jr.) for a lesson-filled day of bonding. But Vincent’s qualifications are questionable: He’s desperate for the $22,000 he needs for a business loan and has gang members after him. It’s a promising enough conceit a stressed, untrustworthy but inherently decent guy trying to play the role model but the day takes awkward, implausible turns, jumping from violence to stoneskipping in the harbor. The dialogue, too, is often cringe-worthy as the two meet various friends and associates of Vincent’s, with cameos by Danny Glover, Dennis Haysbert, Clark Johnson and Michael Kenneth Williams. The cliches mount as the journey leads to bloody standoffs and drug dealer confrontations. Still, there is tenderness here, and first-time director Sheldon Candis should further develop his naturalistic impulse. We are, after all, not exactly showered with intimate, aspiring films of urban life. 95 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.

• “Jack Reacher” — The idea of watching a movie in which a sniper methodically manufactures his own bullets, practices weekly at a gun range, then waits quietly in an empty parking garage before shooting five people dead may not sound like the most appealing form of entertainment during these tragic days. Nevertheless, it’s important to assess “Jack Reacher” on its own terms, for what it is and what it isn’t. Besides being caught in some unfortunate timing, it’s also clever, well-crafted and darkly humorous, and it features one of those effortless bad-ass performances from Tom Cruise that remind us that he is indeed a movie star, first and foremost. OK, so maybe Cruise doesn’t exactly resemble the Reacher of British novelist Lee Child’s books: a 6-foot-5, 250-pound, blond behemoth. If you haven’t read them, you probably won’t care. Even if you have read them, Christopher McQuarrie’s film the first he’s directed and written since 2000’s “The Way of the Gun” moves so fluidly and with such confidence, it’ll suck you in from the start. Jack Reacher is a former military investigator who’s become a bit of a mythic figure since he’s gone off the grid. When the deadly shooting occurs at the film’s start, authorities believe they’ve quickly found their man: a sniper who’s ex-Army himself. He reveals nothing during his interrogation but manages to scribble the words “Get Jack Reacher” on a notepad before winding up in a coma. But when Reacher arrives and reluctantly agrees to help the defense attorney (Rosamund Pike) investigate, he finds the case isn’t nearly as simple as it seems. PG-13 for violence, language and some drug material. 130 minutes. Three stars out of four.

Try to forgive them and work on your own grieving process

Today: 6 p.m.: Ultimate Sports 8 p.m.: Spotlight 11 p.m.: Tales of the Strange

Dear Annie: Two years ago, my son's fiancee recommended we rotate who hosts Christmas dinner. That year, she and my son went to her mom's house, and last year they were supposed to come to mine. Instead, they went to her mom's again and were upset that I didn't want to tag along. Annie, at the time, my 73-year-old mother was in a rehab facility. There was no way I could bring her along for dinner, and I refused to leave her alone for the holiday. A week before Christmas, my future daughter-in-law sent me a text asking me to reconsider. I again said no. She accidentally texted me instead of my son and said, "Your mom is a nasty liar." I was dumbfounded. I immediately got another text saying, "I'm sorry, but my feelings are hurt." I forwarded both of these to my son, who said he was at work and didn't have time to deal with this. Right after the holiday, my mother fell and broke her hip. She ended up needing two surgeries. She refused additional treatment, saying she'd had enough. She went into hospice care and died a few days later. My son became angry with me, saying I deliberately shortened Mom's life by putting her into hospice. My son's fiancee still has not apologized for what she texted. I haven't heard from either of them since. I am hurt and upset. I not only lost my mother, but it seems I've lost my son, as well. How do I handle this mess? My husband and I are both losing sleep. — Hurt Dear Hurt: Our condolences on the loss of your mother. Your son may be feeling guilty for pressuring you to abandon Grandma for his fiancee's Christmas dinner, not realizing how short her time was. It is not uncommon to deflect that by blaming someone else. And his fiancee may be encouraging his anger toward you because it gets her off the hook entirely. Please forgive them so you can work on your grieving process without this additional sadness. Keep the lines of communication open, and try to maintain a certain superficiality. We hope this will allow the relationship to move forward. Dear Annie: We are getting tired of people telling us that the use of capital letters in our emails means we are "shouting" at them. This idea should be tossed out. We are visually impaired and have friends who have glaucoma, eye cancer and developing cataracts or are post cataract surgery, and some of us have macular degeneration in various stages. We are blessed that we can still use our computers, but are unable to read the small print of most messages. We need and appreciate the larger capital letters. Please tell your readers to think outside the box before criticizing those of us with limited vision. — Windows to the Soul Dear Windows: We are sympathetic to your plight, but using all caps looks like shouting to most people. Of course, if that's the only way you can see the type, by all means continue. However, please know that there are other ways to increase the type size. Try holding CTRL while pressing the plus sign or rolling your mouse wheel forward. Or hit "reply," and then highlight the text and increase the font size. Your browser may offer other options in the manual or online. Dear Annie: Please tell "No Name, No Location" to get in touch with a local Cub Scout or Boy Scout troop for help shoveling snow or cutting their grass. Both groups of scouts are required to perform community service. When I was a Cubmaster, we organized kids to rake leaves for some elderly residents. Paying it back by volunteering is a win-win. — Problem Solved Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Think ahead and send the mark of love Dear Readers: Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and there is no better way to show your valentine he or she is loved than by sending a specially postmarked card.

your choice. — Heloise TRAVEL HINT Dear Heloise: The last time my husband and I went on a trip, my luggage ended being “misplaced” for the first day of our trip. We eventually got it, but I was without fresh clothes for a day. Now when we go on a trip, I pack an outfit in his suitcase and he packs one of his in mine. That way, if something should happen to one of our bags again, we at least have one fresh change of clothes. — A Reader, via email

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Friday, Feb. 1, the 32nd day of 2013. There are 333 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 1, 2003, the space shuttle Columbia broke up during re-entry, killing all seven of its crew members. On this date: • In 1790, the U.S. Supreme Court convened for the first time in New York. (However, since only three of the six justices were present, the court recessed until the next day.) • In 1862, “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” a poem by Julia Ward Howe, was published in the Atlantic Monthly.

• In 1960, four black college students began a sit-in protest at a Woolworth’s lunch counter in Greensboro, N.C., where they’d been refused service. • In 1968, during the Vietnam War, South Vietnam’s police chief (Nguyen Ngoc Loan) executed a Viet Cong officer with a pistol shot to the head. Richard M. Nixon announced his bid for the Republican presidential nomination. • In 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini received a tumultuous welcome in Tehran as he ended nearly 15 years of exile. • In 1991, 34 people were killed

when an arriving USAir jetliner crashed atop a commuter plane on a runway at Los Angeles International Airport. • In 1993, Gary Bettman took office as the NHL’s first commissioner. • One year ago: Facebook announced plans to go public with a stock offering. (The social network priced its IPO at $38 per share, but the stock started to fall soon after the first day of trading.) • Today’s Birthdays: Actor Garrett Morris is 76. Comedian Terry Jones is 71. Actor Linus Roache is 49. Lisa Marie Presley is 45. Comedian-actor Pauly Shore is 45.

County prosecutor killed near North Texas courthouse

A woman comforts a child after after a shooting at an Price Middle school in Atlanta Thursday.

Police: Teen shot by fellow student at Georgia school ATLANTA (AP) — A student opened fire at his middle school Thursday afternoon, wounding a 14year-old in the neck before an armed officer working at the school was able to get the gun away, police said. Multiple shots were fired in the courtyard of Price Middle School just south of downtown around 1:50 p.m. and the one boy was hit, Atlanta Police Chief George Turner said. In the aftermath, a teacher received minor cuts, he said. The wounded boy was taken “alert, conscious and breathing” to Grady Memorial Hospital, said police spokesman Carlos Campos. He was expected to be released Thursday night. Police swarmed the school of about 400 students after reports of the shooting while a crowd of anxious parents gathered in the streets, awaiting word on their children. Students were kept at the lockeddown school for more than two hours before being dismissed. Investigators believe the shooting was not random and that something

occurred between the two students that may have led to it. Schools Superintendent Erroll Davis said the school does have metal detectors. “The obvious question is how did this get past a metal detector?” Davis asked about the gun. “That’s something we do not know yet.” The armed resource officer who took the gun away was off-duty and at the school, but police didn’t release details on him or whether he is regularly at Price. Since 20 children and six adults were shot to death at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut in December, calls for armed officers in every school have resonated across the country. Hours after the Atlanta shooting, several school buses loaded with children pulled away from the school and stopped in front of a church about a half-block away. Parents tried boarding the buses. Police who initially tried to stop the parents, relented and screamed, “Let them off!” about the students. James Bolton was at work when

his sister called saying a teen had been shot at his son’s school and was in the crowd as parents began swarming the fleet of buses. “Move, I see my son, I see mine!” he said, running up to embrace James Bolton Jr. “As long as I got this one back I’m OK,” he said, holding his son’s head against his chest as parents nearby frantically searched for their children. Bolton Jr. said he was in class when the intercom sounded and a school official announced the building was under immediate lockdown. “They told us we had to be quiet,” Bolton told The Associated Press. “They said something went on in the courtyard.” Bolton said he was unaware that anyone had been shot until a reporter asked him about it. Shakita Walker, whose daughter is an eighth-grader at the school, said she received a text from her that said, “Ma somebody’s shooting and somebody got shot.” Walker, who works at another school, said she jumped in her car and was thinking “just hurry up and get there.”

KAUFMAN, Texas (AP) — An assistant district attorney was shot and killed Thursday morning near the North Texas courthouse where he worked, and authorities said they were searching through his cases to try to find clues about why he may have been targeted. Mark Hasse, 57, had exited his vehicle in the parking lot behind the Kaufman County Courthouse annex and was walking toward the building when a masked gunman shot him multiple times just before 9 a.m., Kaufman County authorities said. Hasse was taken away in an ambulance, but it’s unclear if he died at the hospital or en route. Investigators were talking to witnesses and had some leads but had not arrested anyone as of Thursday afternoon, Kaufman Police Chief Chris Aulbaugh said. He urged the public to come forward with tips. The suspect or suspects were believed to have fled in a brown or silver older model Ford Taurus. Officials didn’t immediately indicate any motive for the shooting in Kaufman, located about 33 miles southeast of Dallas. “I hope the people that did this are watching because we’re very confident that we’re going to pull you out of whatever hole you’re in. We’re going to bring you back and let the people of Kaufman County prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law,” District Attorney Mike McLelland said at a news conference Thursday afternoon. He said his office, the county and state had suffered a “devastating loss” and called Hasse a spectacular prosecutor who would not be easily replaced. He

said Hasse, who worked in a variety of areas such as organized crime, knew the dangers of his job but readily accepted them. Doug Lowe, longtime district attorney in nearby Anderson County, said Hasse’s death is disturbing for all who prosecute crimes in Texas. “We are a tight group of people, and my heart bleeds for his family and his office,” Lowe said. “This reminds us all that we deal with some very, very bad people.” Lowe said he keeps a pistol in his office but plans to start taking it with him. “This is pretty scary,” he said. “I may be packing heat for a while.” Local law enforcement officials decried the shooting as an attack on the criminal justice system. “We understand that we may come into contact with violent people, but this is the next level,” Kaufman County Sheriff David Byrnes said at a news conference. Hasse, who previously worked as an assistant prosecutor in Dallas County, had worked in Kaufman County for three years. McLelland said Hasse worked hard and took work home with him at night and on weekends. He called him the office “storyteller.” Investigators gathered in a parking lot adjacent to the annex where the prosecutor was shot. Yellow tape and law enforcement vehicles blocked the area from spectators. Aulbaugh said a $20,000 reward was being offered. “It’s going to take a long time to get over this,” said Wayne Gent, an attorney whose law office is on the courthouse square. “And the thing is everybody’s vulnerable.”

Tippecanoe’s Halee Printz drives for two of her seven first-quarter points Thursday against Anna. Printz scored 13 points in the Red Devils’ 49-39 loss.

Rockets hold on Devils can’t complete comeback BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@civitasmedia.com Tippecanoe coach Aaron Jackson can’t see the future. But his Red Devils had a chance to make it seem that way. “I told the girls before the game that if we had less than 15 turnovers, we would win,” Jackson said. “We had 10. So much for being a prophet.”

COLUMBUS (AP) — The St. Louis Blues take pride in the fact they’re a band of players without a real superstar. They don’t win individual awards. All they do is win games. Barret Jackman, Patrik Berglund and Vladimir Tarasenko each scored in the opening 14 minutes, Brian Elliott made 24 saves and the Blues won their fourth straight game with a 4-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday night. David Backes, who also had an assist, added an empty-netter. T.J. Oshie had two assists. True to its Blue-collar form, St. Louis had four different goal-scorers, 11 different players score a point and just about everybody else contributed one way or another in a fight-filled match. The Blues took command and locked up the two points before a crowd of 11,155 could settle into its seats. Just 2:19 in, Jackman almost lackadaisically wristed the puck on net from the boards near the blue line. It sailed past Jamie Langenbrunner and defenseman Tim Erixon, playing his first game for the Blue Jackets, who were tangled near the left hash. It continued on past a surprised Sergei Bobrovsky for Jackman’s second of the year. It was the third time that Bobrovsky, who has been solid in net most of this young season, has been victimized for a soft goal in the first minutes of the game. Brandon Dubinsky, a newcomer to Columbus who arrived in the blockbuster deal that sent Rick Nash to the New York Rangers last summer, was angry with the way the Blue Jackets played. “We didn’t come out and play hard enough,” Dubinsky said. “That’s been a theme the whole year so far. We’ve got to come out with some fire, with some passion. And we didn’t again tonight.”

Devils sweep Panthers Staff Reports Tippecanoe got back on track Thursday night, sweeping Springboro. The boys (15-5) edged the Panthers 2,275-2,022, while the girls (6-14) won a tight 1,687-1,531 game. Ryan Rittenhouse led the Devil boys with games of 186-247 for a 433 series. Jack Bauder rolled 214-214—428, Jordan Vollmer rolled 189-191—380, Steven Calhoun rolled 172-204— 376 and Logan Banks rolled 182171—353.

TIPP CITY Still, Tippecanoe deprived the Anna offense of its usual fuel — easy points off of steals created by its full-court pressure — but some hurried shots by the Devil offense led to an 110 stretch for the Rockets to start the second quarter and that proved to be the difference in a 49-39 loss non-league Thursday at Pat Wampler Gymnasium. The Devils (11-9) were even with Anna in both rebounding and turnovers for the game, and even closed what had been a 14point gap to start the fourth quarter to six points with two minutes to play after a putback by Halee Printz. But Anna —

Vikings win despite off night on offense Staff Reports

Mickelson shoots 60, opens with lead Phil Mickelson pointed his putter at the cup and started to walk toward the hole, ready to celebrate golf’s magic number. Right at the end, though, the ball caught the right edge of the cup, curled 180 degrees to the other side of the hole and stayed out. A fraction of inch turned cheers to gasps and cost him a 59 on Thursday in the first round of the Phoenix Open. See Page 15.

CASSTOWN — Maybe it was a showdown with an old rival coming up. Or the impending Division III tournament draw. Either way, Miami East’s mind was not on getting the ball in the basket. Luckily for the Vikings, defense doesn’t take a night off. Tri-County North only managed five second-quarter points and 10 total field goals in the game, falling behind by 10 at the

Leah Dunivan was huge on the defensive end with four blocks half as the Vikings (18-1, 11-0 and nine rebounds.

■ CONTINUED FROM 13 which was 5 for 13 from the free throw line at that point — went 6 for 6 to close the game out. “We thought about it (fouling earlier in the fourth),” Jackson said. “But they made them when it counted. When it was time to finally step up and make them, they did.” The Rockets (15-5) took the score from 13-11 late in the first quarter to 24-11 halfway through the second quarter, but the stretch couldn’t be called a “run” in any way. That’s because Tippecanoe handled the Anna pressure with ease and turned the game into a half-court one — but when they got chances on the offensive end in the second quarter, the Devils rushed and forced their shots, wasting possession after possession. “We spent way too much time on defense,” Jackson said. “We’d spend about 15 seconds on offense and not take the best shot, and then we’d spend way too much energy on defense. The girls were tired. We talked about that at the half, and in the second half we were more patient on offense — which gave the girls a chance to rest. “We got our first points of the second quarter with 3:48 left. We went four minutes without scoring. You can’t do that against Anna.” And the key to the Devils staying in the game on both sides was Printz. In addition to a double-double with a game-high 13 points, 10 rebounds and three assists, Printz drew the unenviable task of guarding Anna’s perennial All-Ohio player, Natalie Billing. Billing was held scoreless in the first half and finished with five points and four rebounds. “We put Halee up to that task,” Jackson said. “(Billing) is physical and does a great job using her body. Halee was going to have to match her intensity the whole game — and she did a good job.” But Anna’s other weapons stepped up. Cayla Bensman scored nine of her team-high 13 points in the first half, while Kayla Blankenship scored eight of her 11 in the first half. Sydney Rioch came off the bench and added 10 points in the post. Erica Comer added 10 points and seven rebounds for the Devils, Chelsea Clawson scored six of her eight points in the second half and Carly Clodfelter chipped in six. Tippecanoe had three of the toughest Division III teams in the state on its non-league schedule. The Devils lost early in the season to Versailles in another close game and fell to Miami East two weeks ago. Versailles is No. 8 in the latest D-III poll, Anna No. 10 and East No. 11 — with

■ CONTINUED FROM 13 points for the Eagles (163), who improved to 8-0 at home on the season. “We haven’t beaten a Lehman team in six years,” Troy Christian coach Dick Steineman said. “Lydia controlled the point area under the hoop tonight, and Amanda had a good offensive game shooting and taking the ball to the hoop.” Troy Christian remains at home, hosting Middletown Christian Monday.

Mickelson opens with 60 SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Phil Mickelson pointed his putter at the cup and started to walk toward the hole, ready to celebrate golf’s magic number. Right at the end, though, the ball caught the right edge of the cup, curled 180 degrees to the other side of the hole and stayed out. A fraction of inch turned cheers to gasps and cost him a 59 on Thursday in the first round of the Phoenix Open. “Six feet to go, it was in the center,” Mickelson said. “Three feet to go, it was in the center. A foot to go, it was in the center, and even as it’s approaching the hole, I couldn’t envision which side of the hole it could possibly miss on, and it ended up somehow just dying off at the end, catching the lip.” His caddie, Jim Mackay, fell to his knees and stayed there several seconds. “He could not have hit a better putt,” Mackay said. Playing partners Jason Dufner and Rickie Fowler also watched in disbelief when the 25-foot birdie

putt lipped out. “Unlucky,” Dufner said. “He was walking it in.” “I thought it was in,” Fowler said. “I was pulling for him.” Mickelson settled for an 11-under 60 at TPC Scottsdale, matching the tournament record he already shared with Grant Waite and Mark Calcavecchia. “Well, 60 is awesome,” Mickelson said. “Last time I shot 60 here in ‘05, I birdied like the last three or four holes just to do that, and I was ecstatic, and I’m ecstatic to shoot 60. But there’s a big difference between 60 and 59. Not that big between 60 and 61, there really isn’t. But there’s a big barrier, a Berlin Wall barrier, between 59 and 60. “I shot it in the PGA Grand Slam of Golf. I shot 58 in a practice round. But to do it in a tournament would have been historic for me, something I’d always remember, and I’ll always remember that putt on the last hole probably, too.”

Hoax mastermind was in love with Te’o

Gay rights a Super Bowl headliner

Staff Reports Ronaiah Tuiasosopo fell in love with Manti Te’o and said all his energy went into pretending to be the woman the Notre Dame linebacker came to know as Lennay Kekua. Tuiasosopo, the 22year-old mastermind of the elaborate hoax that embarrassed Te’o and left him looking gullible, spoke publicly for the first time in an interview with Dr. Phil McGraw for the “Dr. Phil Show,” the first part of which aired Thursday. Tuiasosopo said Te’o knew nothing of the scam, and doesn’t believe he ever suspected Kekua was fake. “He had no involvement,” Tuiasosopo said. “He did not know anything.” Tuiasosopo said he built the online persona of Kekua, a nonexistent woman who Te’o said he

fell in love with despite never meeting in person. Tuiasosopo then killed off the character last September. “I pretty much had this escape of Lennay and this was where my heart had pretty much invested, not just time, but all of my energy went into this,” Tuiasosopo said. He said he felt Kekua was a part of him, and grew feelings and emotions for Te’o that he could not control. He acknowledged that the hoax was cruel, but said it was never intended as a joke and that he got no financial gain from it. “As twisted and confusing as it may be, yeah, I cared for this person,” he said, referring to Te’o. “I did all that I could to help this person become a better person, even though I wasn’t getting nothing out of it.”

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Brendon Ayanbadejo has heard from many players who applaud his support of gay marriage — some of them teammates, others from the opposing side of the line. Then, just days before the biggest game of the year, he received a striking reminder of the macho attitudes that still prevail in the NFL. San Francisco cornerback Chris Culliver said he wouldn’t welcome a gay player on his team. Even though he quickly backtracked, the comments underscored what Ayanbadejo already believed: The league is still a long way from embracing its first openly gay player. “It’s going to take a very courageous person to come out,” said Ayanbadejo, a backup linebacker and special teams ace for the Baltimore Ravens.

Culliver apologized Thursday, maintaining that what he said during an interview with comedian Artie Lange during Super Bowl media day videotaped and posted on the Internet were not his true beliefs. “That’s not what I feel in my heart,” the defensive back said. But Ayanbadejo (EYN’beh-day-joe), who stirred debate this season by backing a gay-rights amendment in his adopted state of Maryland, estimates that at least half the NFL’s players would agree with what Culliver said, at least privately. Responding to a series of crude questions from Lange, Culliver said the 49ers didn’t have any gay players, and if they did those players should leave. “Can’t be with that sweet stuff,” he said, seemingly unaware that his comments would ever get back to San Francisco and the

Bay Area, home to a large gay community. “I’m sorry if I offended anyone. They were very ugly comments,” Culliver said. “Hopefully I will learn and grow from this experience and this situation. I love San Francisco.” Whether he was honestly expressing his true feelings or trying to limit the damage, the comments prompted plenty of discussion about a larger issue: Is the NFL or any major pro sport in the U.S. ready to accept a player who comes out? Several retired athletes have acknowledged their homosexuality after their careers were over. But no one has revealed it while actually suiting up, no doubt mindful of the divisiveness it might cause in the locker room. “I’d say 50 percent of the people (in the NFL) think like Culliver. I’d say 25 percent of the people think like me. And 25 per-

cent of the people are religious. They don’t necessarily agree with all the things I agree with, but they’re accepting,” Ayanbadejo said. “So it’s a fight. It’s an uphill battle.” For Ayanbadejo, taking a strong stand on heated issues is just part of his makeup. The 36-year-old grew up in northern California less than an hour from the 49ers current training facility and learned at an early age from his family to treat all people with tolerance and respect. He remembers marveling at the skill of Olympic diving champion Greg Louganis, then finding out later he was gay. “I thought it was awesome he could go out there and do his thing,” Ayanbadejo said. “No matter who you are or what you’re doing, if you’re doing something you love, you should be able to do that and express who you are.”

work that was needed that wasn’t being done,” Ahmed said. Within four days, Steven was back in Ahmed’s office and the doctor determined that Steven was in such advanced stages of congestive heart failure that he could be a candidate for a heart transplant. Ahmed called the Cleveland Clinic and Steven was transported there by helicopter immediately. “It looked like his heart was failing,” Ahmed said. Steven was hospitalized in Cleveland for six weeks. There, surgeons implanted a defibrillator and a left ventricular assist device (LVAD).

When it comes to health, never underestimate the value of a second opinion. That’s the first thing Steven Petrocelli, of Sidney, and his wife, Teresa, will say when asked for advice about heart issues. Steven’s heart has been the focus of attention by a lot of health professionals in recent weeks. The second opinion probably saved his life.

Then Thoratec Corp., about our family doctor sent him to a cardiologist at Good Samaritan (Hospital in Dayton). The cardiologist said he had congestive heart failure.” The Petrocellis were told that with medications, Steven would make a good recovery. That was not true. “But I didn’t have any of the symptoms (of a failed heart),” Steven said. “Not high cholesterol, not clogged arteries.” Doctors thought the pneumonia had attacked his heart. He was on the prescribed medication for nine months. “Every time I would have a flare-up, I would stop work, sit for 15 minutes, and then go back to work. Sometimes in the morning, my blood pressure would be down, and my heart rate would be up and I wouldn’t go to work. We’d call the cardiac clinic at Good Sam. The nurses there would help me,” he said.

‘Very vague’

Train staff In the meantime, technicians from Thoratec will soon visit Shelby County to train EMS staff and people at Wilson Memorial in how to treat Steven if he has an emergency need for them before he can return to the Cleveland Clinic. “I don’t have an expertise in (the LVAD),” Ahmed said. “There are only a couple people in the state that do this.

Teresa took Steven to Good Samaritan Hospital five or six times during that nine-month period. But the Petrocellis weren’t getting the information they wanted from the cardiologist, whom they did not name in discussions with the Daily News. They said that following Steven’s stress tests in October 2012, they had to phone the doctor to get the results and his response was “very vague.” “So we decided to switch cardiologists,” Teresa said. By that time, they had also switched family doctors and were seeing someone closer to home, Dr. Eric Prenger. Prenger recommended Dr. Rehan Ahmed at Sidney Cardiology. “Let’s get a second opinion,” Teresa said. Ahmed, a doctor of osteopathy, took one look at Steven and saw red flags. “I saw a lot more

10,000 have been distributed worldwide since 2005. The pump looks like a small jet turbine. It floats freely. Steven sets its RPMs on a unit worn on his belt. The unit is connected to the pump by a cord that goes through his skin in the middle of his body. The opening must be kept sterile. “The Cleveland Clinic people trained me in how to do a sterile procedure on the dressing,” Teresa said. When Steven is at home, he stays connected to a unit on the wall. He has a portable battery pack to use when he leaves the house. He carries extra batteries and an extra monitor with him at all times. In a year, doctors will re-evaluate his situation and make a decision about his candidacy for a transplant.

UVMC to offer free screenings Part of Heart Month Health Fair BY NATALIE KNOTH nknoth@civitasmedia.com

To eat for health, individuals are advised to choose fruits, vegetables and whole grains while reducing sodium and limiting fat to no more than 30 percent of daily calories. Reducing saturated fats and cholesterol also lowers the risk of coronary artery disease. High blood pressure also places individuals at a greater risk. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, not smoking and taking medication can all help manage blood pressure and keep the heart healthy. Another major factor for heart disease is smoking, which more than doubles the risk for cardiovascular problems. Secondhand smoke is harmful for the heart as well. Doctors may perform a cardiac disease risk assessment

TROY — The focus of February may be heartfelt gifts for Valentine’s Day, but it’s also time to pay attention to the beating of your own heart. February is national Heart Health Month. More than 950,000 people die of heart disease every year — the No. 1 cause of death for American adults, according to a press release from Upper Valley Medical Center. While some people are more at risk due to hereditary and age, risks can be reduced by making some lifestyle changes. Exercise, stress management and a healthy diet are all sound means to keeping cardiovascular disease at bay.

DALLAS — The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association launches Together to End Stroke, a national initiative to bring stroke awareness to the forefront of Americans’ minds and to educate them that stroke is preventable, largely treatable and beatable. Covidien, a global medical products leader and national sponsor of the initiative, is helping the association to drive awareness with a stated goal of building healthier lives by reducing disability and death from stroke by 20 percent by 2020. According to a survey commissioned by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association in November 2011, 93 percent of Americans do not think of stroke as a major health concern, despite the fact that it is the fourth leading cause of
