Chamber honors young leaders
Celebration set for 50th anniv. The name still resonates and generates goose bumps like few others in the world of spaceflight. John Glenn. Even astronauts not just the rest of us mere mortals get mushy talking about Project Mercury’s “clean Marine” who led the country’s charge into orbit. See Page 4.

It’s not easy to keep a secret from a Marine, but the Troy Area Chamber of Commerce bestowed its annual Outstanding Young Man of the Year Award to Brock Heath Thursday without him finding out ahead of time. The Unity National Bank Tipp City branch manager and former Marine was awarded the A. Robert Davies M.D. Memorial
Outstanding Young Man award Thursday at the 73rd anniversary of the Troy Area Chamber of Commerce dinner held at the Crystal Room in Troy. “This is a complete surprise,” the 1998 graduate of Troy High School said after receiving the award from former recipient Rob Davis. Heath said it was an honor to be named amongst “heroes of
this community.” Heath also attributed his success in the Troy community to his experience in the United States Marine Corps. “That was a pivotal point in my life,” Heath said about his service in the armed forces. Heath was joined by his wife Leyla. They have two daughters, Majo and Adriana. Colleen Gilardi was named Outstanding Young Woman of the Year by former recipient Susan Walker-Hemm. Gilardi was
unable to attend the ceremony to receive the Shirley Culp Davies Memorial Young Woman of the Year award. Gilardi sent her thanks to the chamber of commerce, which Walker-Hemm read to the audience. “Thank you to the Troy area chamber of commerce for this very honorable award,” Gilardi said. “Being part of such a wonderful town makes it only natural to

Van set to make stop in Troy Response for mammography event brings it back to library Staff Reports One in eight women today will develop breast cancer, according to the National Cancer Institute. Yet, thanks to TriHealth Women’s Health Van’s mobile mammography unit, early detection once again will be available to the community on Feb. 21 at the Troy-Miami County Public Library. The TriHealth Women’s Health Van will make its second stop next week at the Troy library from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Feb. 21, providing uninsured or under-insured women the opportunity to receive a digital mammogram on board its mobile mammography unit. The TriHealth’s Women’s Health Van is staffed by female mammography technicians, specially trained in mammographic imaging. The digital mammography is the newest technology for the most accurate detection of early breast cancer, which the mobile unit is equipped to provide those who may not have access to the screenings by other means. All participants must register for the screening by Feb. 20. The screening takes approximately 15 minutes, but participants should allow 30 minutes for the process. Patients can expect to spend 20-30 minutes in the van. According to TriHealth’s website, the Women’s Health Van utilizes the R2 ImageChecker, a computeraided detection system

• CONTINUED FROM A1 grants for preventive care and by curbs on Medicaid payments to hospitals that care for a disproportionate share of uninsured patients. The pact was sealed after weeks of negotiations, first a public round featuring speechifying and bickering, and then a more intense private round in which Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., and Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., took the lead. The two men, the respective chairmen of the House and Senate panel with jurisdiction over taxes, unemployment insurance and Medicare, have forged a close working relationship, even as top party leaders publicly traded salvos over the negotiations. Combative Democrats like Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York openly boasted of the leverage Democrats carried into the talks. He almost seemed to welcome a reprise of a bruising December battle when House Republicans refused to back a bipartisan Senate bill providing a two-month extension of the tax cuts and jobless benefits to buy time for negotiations on a yearlong
deal. But Republicans had no interest in reprising their December experience, when they got their heads handed to them after a barrage of criticism from Republicans and conservatives around the country — featured almost every hour on 24-hour cable new networks. GOP leaders gave the talks a major boost over the weekend by dropping a demand that the tax cut be paid for with spending cuts. The move guaranteed that the measure wouldn’t be popular with deficit hawks in either party, and Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Mark Warner, D-Va., came out against the measure on Thursday. According to a Congressional Budget Office estimate released Thursday, the measure would add $141 billion to the deficit during fiscal 2012-2013, with $52 billion of that cost gradually recouped over the coming decade. Still, piling most of the measure’s cost onto the $15 trillion-plus national debt meant negotiators had to find just $50 billion or so in revenues or spending cuts to finance renewing jobless benefits and fixing the Medicare payment rate. About $15 billion came as free
money to be raised by auctioning off parts of the broadcast television airwaves to wireless companies. Even more would be raised in upcoming auctions, but broadcast license holders would be compensated for giving up spectrum, while $7 billion would be dedicated to creating a new public safety network for emergency first responders. That would complete a key remaining recommendation of the commission that looked into the way emergency officials dealt with the 9/11 terror attacks. The last major hang-up involved changes to a provision demanded by Republicans to require federal workers contribute more to their generous defined benefit pension plans. Most pension systems have switched to less generous but more mobile defined contribution plans. The provision, modified to win support from key members of the Maryland delegation, requires newly-hired federal workers to contribute 2.3 percent more of their salaries toward their traditional defined benefit pensions, raising $15 billion over the coming decade. Sen. Ben Cardin and Rep. Chris Van Hollen, two Maryland Democrats, had bitterly fought an

earlier plan — tentatively agreed to by key Democrats like Baucus — that would have required current federal workers to contribute 1.5 percent more to their pensions. “We will not let others find excuses to extend the gridlock,” Van Hollen and Cardin said in a joint statement. “But it is inherently unfair that the primary offset found for extending unemployment insurance came from additional sacrifice from other middle-class families.” Republicans claimed victory in reducing the number of weeks of jobless benefits that workers would be eligible to receive. The maximum number in states with the highest jobless rates would be cut from 99 weeks to 73 weeks by the end of the year. Republicans had wanted to cut the maximum to 59 weeks. But in states with particularly high unemployment, such as Rhode Island and Nevada, the measure is actually more generous over the next few months than current law. The measure also would prevent welfare recipients from using their electronic benefits cards to withdraw money at ATMs in strip clubs, casinos and liquor stores.

Area Civil Air Patrol cadets receive awards For the Troy Daily News
TROY
On Feb. 7, Cadets Patrick McGail and Trevor Luth were awarded the General Billy Mitchell Award. McGail received the award from Troy Mayor Michael Beamish and Luth received his award from New Carlisle Mayor Lowell McGlothin and his wife Pattie. The General Billy Mitchell Award is earned by Civil Air Patrol cadets who have successfully completed the second phase of the cadet program. It marks the end of the enlisted phase of the cadet program; cadets are promoted to Cadet Second Lieutenant upon receipt and, by extension, Cadet Officers. The award is given in honor of Maj Gen William “Billy” Mitchell, former Deputy Chief of the Army Air Service and military aviation visionary. In order to earn this award, cadets must pass a series of leadership, aerospace and physical fitness tests and attend character development training for each achievement from Cadet Airman Basic through Cadet Chief Master Sergeant. In addition, cadets must attend a military-style encampment before this award is made, and have maintained active membership in the Civil Air Patrol for at least 18 months since joining. 15 percent of Civil Air Patrol cadets achieve the Mitchell Award. Patrick joined Civil Air Patrol in Sept. 2009. Since joining he has been trained extensively in emergency services, earning his Ground Team 1 designation, as well as earning ratings as a Mission Radio Operator and Urban Direction Finding team member. He has attended several summer encampments in Ohio and Michigan both as a basic cadet and as cadet staff and has attended national CAP schools including Hawk Mountain Ranger School in Pennsylvania and the Combat Control Orientation Course in North Carolina. Patrick is 15 years old and a sophomore at Troy High School. In addition to CAP, he is active in the music program at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, takes drum and guitar lessons and is on the THS wrestling team. He lives in Troy with his parents, Beth and Jim McGail, and has an older sister, Autumn Frost Kunkle of Springfield, and an older brother, Alec McGail, who is attending Purdue University. He hopes to join the military upon completion of his education. Luth joined Civil Air Patrol in Nov.
2007. Since joining he has been trained extensively in emergency services, earning his Ground Team Leader designation, as well as earning ratings as a Mission Radio Operator and Urban Direction Finding team member. He has attended summer encampment and has attended the national CAP Pararescue Orientation Course in New Mexico. Luth is 18 years old and an honor roll senior at Tecumseh High School. He also is taking classes at Clark State through PSEOP and would like to attend Ohio University after graduation. In addition to CAP, he is an avid target shooting and hunting enthusiast and is on the hockey team. He lives in New Carlisle with his mother, Jane Karafit; his father, Mike Luth, lives in Troy. He has recently enlisted in the Air National Guard and is awaiting clearance and assignment in the intelligence field. He would like to become an EMT and hopes to be trained as a pararescueman. The first Civil Air Patrol members of 1941 were men and women who served their country by sinking or chasing away German submarines off America’s East and Gulf coasts. As a result of their bravery, patriotism and tenacity, CAP subchasers effectively thwarted German U-boat attacks and, in the process, saved countless lives. Today, more than 60,000 CAP members handle 90 percent of inland search and rescue missions, with approximately 75 lives saved each year. Members are generally the first on the scene transmitting satellite digital images of the damage within seconds around the world and providing disaster relief and emergency services following natural and manmade disasters, including such phenomena as 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, Texas and Oklahoma wildfires, tornadoes in the south and central U.S., North Dakota flash flooding and the October 2006 earthquake in Hawaii, as well as humanitarian missions along the U.S. and Mexican border. For more information on this program and the opportunities for youth and adults, contact Major Justin MacKellar at justin.mackellar@ohwg.cap.gov or call (937) 475-7641.

Godspeed John Glenn Ohio native to celebrate 50 years since first U.S. orbit CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The name still resonates and generates goose bumps like few others in the world of spaceflight. John Glenn. Even astronauts not just the rest of us mere mortals get mushy talking about Project Mercury’s “clean Marine� who led the country’s charge into orbit. As the world’s most enduring and endearing spaceman gets set to celebrate what no other living astronaut has done mark the 50th anniversary of his own spaceflight he finds himself in overdrive reflecting on what has been an undeniably charmed, golden life. First American to orbit the Earth, aboard Friendship 7 on Feb. 20, 1962. Oldest person to fly in space, at age 77 aboard shuttle Discovery in 1998. U.S. senator for four terms and one-time presidential candidate. Namesake of a NASA center as well as a university’s school of public affairs. Now 90 and living in Columbus, Ohio, Glenn just recently gave up flying and sold his twin-engine Beechcraft Baron. It was tough hopping up on a wing to climb aboard the plane. Glenn and his wife, Annie, who turns 92 on Friday, both had knee replacements last year. “We decided it was time to pack it in,� Glenn said. Besides, his goal was to fly the plane until 90, “and I did that.� With so many blessings and accomplishments, there’s still one brass ring Glenn wishes he’d snagged: Apollo 11, the first manned moon landing in 1969. It’s a sentiment he’s shared often with Neil Armstrong, Ohio’s other revered son and the first man to set foot on the moon. “I’ve been very fortunate to have a lot of great experiences in my life, and I’m thankful for them. So I don’t see myself as being envious. But in his case, I’ll
“I have never sold a single thing. Nor will I,� Glenn said firmly. His hope is that the mementos drum up interest among schoolchildren in space, science and technology. A collectible from that first flight inspired astronaut Donald Pettit, 56, now a resident of the International Space Station. He recalls getting a pair of Red Ball Jets sneakers as a boy growing up in Oregon, and inside the box was a 45-rpm record of Glenn describing his orbital flight. The recording blew Pettit away, as did the photos of the pioneering astronauts that appeared in Life magazine. (Life held exclusive rights to the stories of the original Mercury Seven astronauts.)

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Los Angeles Times on U.S. drones: When the London-based Bureau of Investigative Journalism released a report Feb. 5 claiming that U.S. drone strikes have killed dozens of civilian rescuers and mourners in Pakistan, the American media scarcely noticed. Similarly, while other countries hotly debate America’s covert program of targeted assassination, its legality has never been considered by a U.S. court and is seldom discussed by Congress, which has ceded extraordinary authority over the drone program to the president and the CIA. That silence could well come back to haunt this country. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism’s findings are worth a look — not because they’re an ironclad assertion of facts on the ground in Pakistan’s tribal areas, where solid information is hard to come by, but because of the questions they raise about the drone program.

This is a misguided view of individual rights. Autonomy should not give people with incurable illnesses the right to put others at risk. Privacy should not mean that infected individuals may bypass consent, without which sex becomes sexual assault. Rights do not exist in a vacuum. Individuals have obligations, too, and those include the obligation not to physically hurt others, and not to willfully or recklessly spread disease. HIV advocates say the disease no longer poses a “significant risk of serious bodily harm” — a key phrase in a 1998 Supreme Court case on HIV disclosure before sex. Treatment or condoms should be enough. The Manitoba Court of Appeal accepted this argument in a case now before the Supreme Court. The onus belongs on those infected with HIV, not on their sexual partners. That is an onus that this country’s HIV advocates do not want to accept. If their view holds sway, many people would be left exposed to the possibility of life-altering disease, and the vulnerable would be especially at risk.

Please help me find my daughter To the Editor: I have a son and a daughter that are both 19 years old. I had a good relationship with my son, but I have lost contact with my daughter and have not seen or heard from her or her mother in over 15 years. My mother and father are aging and in failing health and I know I don’t have much time left with them. I do not want another day to pass without doing all I can to get in contact with my daughter so that I can reunite her with her grandparents before they pass. Now that she is an adult,
she was the right to know her biological family. I want her to meet the wonderful grandparents that she has while they are still living. I want her to know she is loved and has never been forgotten. I am desperately trying to put my family chain back together. She was born in Piqua in 1992 and her mother graduated from Piqua High School. I know that around 3-4 years old, her mother moved to Bellefontaine, and that was the last I saw or was in contact with either of them. I know she married and has more children. I do not know her married last name, nor do I know where they are are living. My intentions are not to
disrupt her mother’s marriage or her life at all. I’m asking that my daughter get in touch with me via Facebook at Steven Spradley and message me if she is willing to meet me and have a reunion with her biological father’s side of her family. I have made mistakes in my life and have many regrets, but my son and my daughter are not a part of any of them. My family is only half of what it should be without her. My dream is to be reunited with my daughter and after all of this time, my circle of family will be complete.

DOONESBURY
Varmints, visitors and coyotes, oh my! This week marks the three— month anniversary of my epic move to the Great Beyond. So in true “Twin” style, here’s a list of my latest observances for you to enjoy: 1. The Volume Shhhh…it’s so quiet out here. One of the things I’m slowly adapting to is how loud the quiet is out here. I still find myself tip-toeing through the dining room to the kitchen every morning. I used to try to tread lightly for three years straight while living on the second-story floor of my old apartment, I tried to not sound like a herd of elephants tromping through the hallways above very nice and friendly neighbors. I don’t know why I try to keep quiet when there’s no one around anymore. Weird. I know. 2. The Varmints and such. Another aspect of being out here is listening to the different animals that live here in the Great Beyond. First off, I have pigeons in the bank barn that make so much noise that their coos sound like a cell phone dialing random numbers rapidly. I often check my phone to ensure that I’m not dialing someone on accident.
Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist Then I’ve also found a neighbors has a rooster at their place. This rooster crows about the same time I’m waking up for the day around noon. This is my kind of rooster. Then it’s the field mice. I know, I know, they come with the territory. Literally. But when you have one leap out of your trash can, and your mom isn’t there to set a real trap, you feel a little helpless. My mom is my hero. I’ll stick with the glue traps. I’ve yet to catch one, but also, I haven’t seen a trace of them since the Hefty cinch sack attack. Then there’s the coyotes. This is the varmint that has terrified me the most. If y’all never heard a pack of wild coyotes scream, let me tell you, it sounds like a herd of screaming puppies attacking a cat. Wow. One night they were so terrifying
— Steven Spradley Troy
that I ran to my car, and pulled in to the front of the yard to make sure they hadn’t killed something on my front porch. I need a roadrunner with an Acme catalog to catch these fellas. My dad installed a device in the bank barn to get rid of the pigeons and it may be working on the coyotes, too. Patent pending. 3. My Visitors (or lack thereof) When I was in town, I always had friends stopping by my place for a chat and a glass of wine. This is amusing since I’ve moved closer to four of my five friends. Now, I never see them and now I know why. Once you get in your car to come home from work, you really don’t feel like stopping anywhere else. Another welcome visitor is my dad stopping in almost daily. I’ve enjoyed this tremendously since the three years I was in “town” my dad never saw my place. This was due to the fact I lived on the second floor — which meant navigating a set of stairs. My dad, well, “he doesn’t do stairs.” Now that I’m in the Great Beyond, my dad stops in at the house, not to see me, but to visit with Evan and to check the fuel oil levels and give me the daily bank barn restoration report. Once the level of oil in my heating element
has been recorded, he then shares the bank barn progress. Remember that storm door I lost in the wind a few weeks ago? Well, Dad saved it and it now serves as a window at the top of the barn. That’s Dad’s way of “going green.” When God blows off a door, Dad makes a window. 4. Connecting with the past Another great thing about being out here is my lunch date Scottie. We’ve had lunch together several times since I’ve moved out here. Scottie grew up down the road from my mother and uncle. The stories he has told me about hanging out at the farm where I also grew up have been priceless. I’ve gained valuable information like how my mother had a “mean ole pony named Rowdy.” Wait a second, I never had a pony! Scottie’s a great storyteller and he buys me lunch at Loretta’s in the ‘Burg. Plus, he gives me ammunition to obtain a pony, or in my case, a pair of pygmy goats. Happy Birthday Scottie! Thanks for the information! There ya have it folks. Anytime you’d like to stop in for a chat, you are more than welcome. The storm door is always open, well, at least the one in the bank barn is always open.

Met record-holder dead at 82
OBITUARIES
NEW YORK (AP) — Character singer Charles Anthony, who set the record for most appearances at the Metropolitan Opera 2,928 during a career that spanned from 1954 to 2010, died Wednesday. He was 82. Anthony, a tenor, died at his home in Tampa, Florida, from kidney failure following a long illness, Met spokesman Peter Clark said. “Your talent, demeanor, joy and heart will be missed,” mezzo-soprano Susanne Mentzer wrote on Twitter. “What a loss.” Beginning his career at the old Met on Broadway and moving uptown with the company to its new home at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in 1966, Anthony was a “comprimario,” or supporting singer. He shared the stage with the greatest classical artists of several eras, performing in the Met debuts of Marian Anderson, Birgit Nilsson, Jon Vickers, Leontyne Price, Franco Corelli, Joan Sutherland, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Jose Carreras. “It’s no exaggeration to say that Charlie Anthony is the soul of the Metropolitan Opera,” Joseph Volpe, then the Met’s general manager, said when Anthony was honored during an intermission in Puccini’s “Tosca” in 2004. Born Calogero Antonio Caruso in New Orleans in 1929, Anthony entered the Met’s Auditions of the Air competition in 1952. Met general manager Rudolf Bing feared that the public would think he was related to the great tenor Enrico Caruso and that the young singer would be burdened with expectations so Bing persuaded him to change his name a halfhour before air time. Milton Cross, the Met’s broadcast host, apparently played a role in the decision on what name to take. “I couldn’t think of anything, so we just dropped Caruso, which made grandfather furious,” Anthony told The New York Times in 1992. Anthony made his Met debut as the Simpleton in Mussorsky’s “Boris Godunov” on March 6, 1954, with George London in the title role. “Probably few who saw the performance will forget him,” the

could bring something to it no one else could,” Colgan said. Whenever he was filming programs at Irish broadcasters RTE, Kelly was a common sight for Dubliner commuters on the bus traveling from his native district of Goatstown. Kelly was always at the back of the bus, appearing to be talking to himself, but actually memorizing his day’s lines. Irish comedian Niall Tobin, who worked alongside Kelly in the 1990s village comedy-drama series “Ballykissangel,” said Kelly “would make you laugh all the time. Even when he was in the depths of a hangover, he would make you laugh.” Usually consigned to bit parts in film, Kelly’s two most prominent roles came late in life. In 1998’s “Waking Ned Devine” he portrayed an Irish villager who must impersonate the late Devine to collect a huge lottery win — and finds himself hurtling down a muddy road, naked apart from his motorcycle helmet, socks and shoes, to keep the ruse intact. Kelly often joked that his career took off in his 70s once casting agents finally knew about his sexy body. In 2005 he played Charlie Bucket’s grandfatherly escort in Tim Burton’s adaptation of the fantasy world of Willy Wonka. That year he also received a lifetime

Character actor David Kelly dies DUBLIN (AP) — Irish character actor David Kelly, who played Grandpa Joe in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and motorcycled naked in “Waking Ned Devine,” has died. He was 82. His family and friends said Kelly died Sunday in Dublin after an acting career on stage, film, TV and radio that spanned a half-century. His cause of death was not announced. Kelly was best known in Ireland for his 1980 depiction of doomed tenement dweller Rashers Tierney in the historical miniseries “Strumpet City” and for his large body of work as a Dublin stage actor in the 1950s and 1960s. British and Irish TV viewers also could recognize his face and bony frame from short, usually comedic turns on myriad soaps and sitcoms, most memorably as a workdodging Irish builder opposite John Cleese in a 1975 episode of “Fawlty Towers.” He also played a dimwitted, one-armed dishwasher in the late 1970s British sitcom “Robin’s Nest.” A longtime colleague, Gate Theatre director Michael Colgan, noted Kelly’s old-school charms, punctuated by his propensity for bow ties and smart suits. “In rehearsal he had a biting wit.

TROY DAILY NEWS • WWW.TROYDAILYNEWS.COM
BULLHEAD: This Academy Award-nominated foreign-language film from Belgium is a dark, haunting and wholly original exploration of what it means to be a man. Writer-director Michael R. Roskam’s auspicious film debut looks like a crime thriller, full of shady figures making secret deals, with a tension and a seamy, muted color palette reminiscent of David Fincher. But eventually it reveals itself to be a character drama about the way the past shapes us and our inability to escape it, no matter how convincingly we believe we’ve transformed ourselves. Matthias Schoenaerts gives a fierce and frightening turn as Jacky, a steroid-addicted cattle rancher who works out an arrangement with some meat-trading mobsters, only to try and back out when an investigating federal agent is gunned down. This sequence of events forces him to revisit a horrific incident from his childhood 20 years ago, as well as the people who were crucial to that pivotal moment. Schoenaerts turns Jacky into a hulking beast given to volatile fits of rage, but he also makes you feel his character’s loneliness, awkwardness and a desperate need to be loved. R for some strong violence, language and sexual content. In Dutch and French with subtitles. 126 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic THE SECRET WORLD OF ARRIETTY: Considering the eccentric, almost psychedelic fantasy worlds created in Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki’s tales, a story of tiny people living beneath the floorboards of a house seems almost normal. This latest from Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli also is a pleasant antidote to the siege mentality of so many Hollywood cartoons, whose makers aim to occupy every instant of the audience’s attention with an assault of noise and images. Slow, stately, gentle and meditative, the film is a marvel of image and color, its old-fashioned pen-and-ink frames vividly bringing to life the world of children’s author Mary Norton’s “The Borrowers.” Directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi, with sound designer Gary Rydstrom directing a Hollywood voice cast for the English-language version, the film follows the adventures of tiny teen Arrietty (Bridgit Mendler) and her parents (Amy Poehler and Will Arnett), who live off things scavenged from the oversized human world above. Befriended by a sickly human youth (David Henrie) and menaced by a busybody housekeeper (Carol Burnett), Arrietty stands at the center of a sweet, chaste, sort-of first love story told with warm simplicity and grandly fluid visuals. G. 94 minutes. Three stars out of four. — David Germain, AP Movie Writer THIS MEANS WAR: Having great-looking actors who actually can act makes this noisy romp more tolerable than it ought to be. It’s essentially a lovetriangle version of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” rendered even more bombastic in the hands of “Charlie’s Angels” director McG. So you’ve got your sport utility vehicles tumbling in slow motion, your gravitydefying shootouts and your obligatory explosions galore. Naturally, the premise is the most high-concept contrived confection: Two CIA agents (Chris Pine and Tom Hardy) who happen to be best friends also happen to fall in love with the same woman (Reese Witherspoon). Screwball and high-tech, it aims to provide laughs and thrills at the same time, and only intermittently achieves its goals. Still, the sight of Pine and Hardy one-upping each other for this woman’s affections through ridiculously elaborate dates and outright stalking (with the help of government resources) has its amusing moments. And McG unsurprisingly keeps the action humming at a nearly nonstop pace. All in all, it’s not an entirely insufferable distraction. Chelsea Handler shows up as Witherspoon’s wisecracking, married best friend living vicariously through her dating adventures, which is even more implausible than the film’s outsized stunts. PG-13 for sexual content including references, some violence and action and for language. 97 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic UNDEFEATED: It seems impossibly feel-good, this tale of sacrifice and redemption, tragedy and triumph. It may also sound like the kind of uplifting football drama you’ve seen countless times before — and comparisons to both “Friday Night Lights” and “The Blind Side” will be inevitable. Still, this Oscar-nominated documentary knocks you over with a power all its own; told in intimate, unadorned fashion, it comes from a pure place that’s irresistible. It isn’t trying too hard to inspire us — and that’s precisely why it does. Dan Lindsay and T.J. Martin, who directed, shot and edited the film, know well enough to get out of the way and let the story and the characters work their magic. Their focus is the 2009 football team at Manassas High School in North Memphis, a predominantly black school in a blighted part of town that hadn’t won a playoff game in its 110-year history. Volunteer Coach Bill Courtney hopes that by working with these kids and developing their strengths on the field, they’ll recognize the importance of being strong men off the field. “Undefeated” follows three players fighting to overcome their circumstances, but the larger-than-life Courtney is the film’s de facto star. Bring tissues. You’ve been warned. PG-13 for some language. 113 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four. — Christy Lemire, AP Movie Critic

Plethora of musical vibes set at Winter Fest Feb. 25 BY KATIE YANTIS Staff Writer kyantis@tdnpublishing.com
TROY
n an effort to continue sharing the talents of area musicians with the community, one local group has expanded a festival that was started five years ago.
I
Miami Valley Music Festival Director Brad Denson said the event was started as a summer event which is set for August each year to exploit the talent hidden within the community. He said area residents travel for festivals and shows for a variety of music, but don’t realize what is in their own community. “It’s time it gets recognized,” Denson said in a previous interview. As the festival continues to grow, Denson said he wanted a way to keep enthusiasm up and to continue to be involved in the community in terms of giving to charities — another main goal of the festival. To do just that, he and the rest of the committee decided to host a Winter Fest at 2 p.m. Feb. 25 at the Eagles Campground. “It’s to keep what we are doing fresh in people’s minds,” Denson said. “Now is about the time that cabin fever and the winter blues are starting to set in. This will help them get out of the house.” Denson also said the winter event spawned out of response from the original summer music fest. “We are getting good responses from everyone,” he said. “We have a great line-up of bands again.”
From Toledo and Indiana to Columbus and Cincinnati, Denson said the array of musical talent is something that will offer a little bit of entertainment for everyone. “It’s everything from bluegrass and reggae to acoustic and funk,” he said. “We have about four or five from the summer, but there is a lot of new bands as well.” One band Denson highlighted as a local favorite, Higgins-Madewell, will perform at this year’s Miami Valley Music Fest and the donor’s ball set for April 28. As for Winter Fest, the event will spotlight 15 bands throughout the day and the proceeds will supplement the main event that will be in August, as well as continue to contribute to charities in the local area. Tickets for the event are available at www.miamivalleymusicfest.com. In addition to Winter Fest, Denson said the committee is hosting other events throughout the year to continue raising money for the August festival, as well as to give back to the community. On March 24, the organization will team up with the Miami County Park District for trash pick-up through the local parks and rivers. “We are using the music to get people’s attention so they know what they can do for the community,” Denson said. “It makes giving back to the community a little more fun.”
“
Now is about the time that cabin fever and the winter blues are starting to set in. This will help them get out of the house — Brad Denson
”
The day will include breakfast from Tim Hortons and lunch from Subway. A chicken dinner will be for sale at 5:30 p.m. at the Eagles Campground the evening of the pick-up with performances by Mark Cantwill, Bootleg and Demolition Crew Reggae Band. In the case of inclement weather, the rain date is scheduled for March 31. The other event set for the year is the donor ball, which will be April 28. There will be local artists showcasing works at the event, as well as live entertainment by HigginsMadewell. Tickets area available at the Miami Valley Music Fest website and are $75 for all-you-can eat for a couple. The Spikedrivers will perform following the event. The Miami Valley Music Fest is scheduled for Aug. 9-11 this year. For more information on the festival and other events happening with the organization, visit www.miamvalleymusicfest.com.
Film with novice Eskimo cast opens in U.S. theaters ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Two Inupiat Eskimo teenagers from a remote Arctic town find themselves at the center of a tragic killing brought on by a crystal meth-fueled fight during a seal hunt in the frozen north. The childhood best friends try to cover up the death but struggle to elude suspicions, forcing them to confront the limits of friendship and forgiveness. The fictional dilemma is the heart of “On the Ice,” a thriller filmed in Barrow, Alaska, in 2010 with novice Inupiat actors. The 2011 Sundance Film festival entry will make its theatrical premiere Friday in New York and the Alaska cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks, then expand to cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle and San Francisco. Barrow, an isolated whaling community of 4,300, is far from Alaska’s limited road system. Located about 320 miles (515 kilometers) north of the Arctic Circle, it is the northernmost town in the United States. Winter means endless nights and summer constant daylight, and temperatures can dip to minus 40 degrees Farenheit (minus 40 Celsius). Everyone knows everyone, often through family connections. For the filmmakers, it was important to capture the setting. It was crucial to cast Inuit people as Inuit people. “I didn’t want to cast Japanese people or Korean people, which is what I
grew up watching,” said its New York-based director and screenwriter, Andrew Okpeaha MacLean. “It’s just like, no way. That has to stop.” The 96-minute film is the first feature-length movie from the 39-year-old MacLean — who is part Inupiat and spent much of his youth in Barrow — and was co-produced by his wife, Cara Marcous. It was loosely based on their short film “Sikumi,” which means on the ice in Inupiaq. The period film, shot in Barrow in the Inupiaq language, won the jury prize for short filmmaking at Sundance in 2008. Both movies used novice Inupiat actors, though the short film starred older ones — mostly MacLean’s friends. But few Inuits work as professional actors, especially teenagers, who were the focus of the story. Casting calls throughout Alaska, as well as in Arctic Canada, attracted about 700 hopefuls. “They did an amazing job,” Marcous, 36, said of the cast. “It’s really incredible what they were able to do. They literally had no experience with the camera at all.” After the success of “Sikumi,” the couple returned to Sundance to help develop the feature film, participating in Sundance Institute programs and getting paired up with advisers such as actor Ed Harris. Harris said he learned that MacLean’s Native heritage is important to him and he has a keen passion for storytelling.

Set some boundaries with in-laws
Today: 5 p.m.: Community Bulletin Board 6:30 p.m.: Talking Pictures 7:30 p.m.: Around Troy
Dear Annie: I have two daughters, ages 5 and 2. My inlaws favor the older girl. They buy her more presents, give her more money and pay way more attention to her than to her sister. They almost seem obsessed with her. As soon as she walks in the door, they grab her and make her sit next to them on the sofa for the entire visit. If they give my children gifts when we are at someone else's house, they become annoyed if I make the girls say hello to our hosts before they are permitted to play with their new toys. I feel it is only polite. We recently visited with them three times over a six-week period. We drove three hours to see them twice, and the third time, they came to us. My mother-inlaw then became angry because I refused to visit again two weeks later. Both of my daughters get carsick, and they have to take medication in order not to throw up. My husband does not like to make waves, so he is of little help with this. I am not sure how much to say without ruining our relationship. — Annoyed in Atlanta Dear Atlanta: This is an issue of boundaries. Unless you are firm about them, your inlaws will keep pushing. The trick is to remain polite and sweet while you are saying no. ("We'd love to visit again, but the girls get so sick when they travel that we don't want them to associate nausea with Grandma and Grandpa. Maybe we can try again next month.") Meanwhile, the Internet and the current crop of smartphones will allow the in-laws to see and speak to the girls often. You might even set up a time for a daily cyber visit. But please bring the blatant favoritism to their attention before your younger child is old enough to notice. Tell them it is damaging the relationship they have with both girls (as well as their parents). Dear Annie: My wife and I are nearly 80 years old, and we are ill prepared for our future. We have no children, own no home or car, have no savings account or life insurance, and struggle from month to month just to survive. What can we do to make minimal preparations for our inevitable demise? It would be nice to have a memorial service, but that costs money. Even cremation costs more than what we have. I believe Social Security provides $250, which might get the match lit, but that's about all. As a Navy vet, I can be buried at a national cemetery, but there is no provision for my wife. Can you suggest any alternatives? — Hanging Loose in California. Dear California: First check with your local churches, funeral homes and the coroner's office. There are often discounts available if you ask. But also research donating your body to a medical school. Some places will transport the body at no cost to you. As for a memorial service, there is no reason to use a funeral home. You or your friends can arrange something at someone's home, church or nearby park. Dear Annie: This is in response to "Confused in Connecticut." I, too, was an overweight child. I was bullied, ridiculed and laughed at. When I reached high school, the kids finally left me alone, but no boy would consider dating me. Then I graduated and realized that the grownup world is different. There are still some people who like to be cruel, but it gets a lot better. I found good friends and men who love some chunkiness on a woman. I am now very happily married with two wonderful children, and I look back on my high school days and laugh. Gaze in the mirror every morning and find that beauty in you, and don't let anyone take it away. — Lucky in Lubbock Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE
Try household window cleaner to clean windshield Dear Heloise: I can’t seem to clean my auto windshield. I have tried vinegar and ammonia, to no avail. When the morning sun hits the glass, I cannot see out. Any suggestions? — J.H., via email Cleaning the windshield is important, because you do need to see out! Heloise Central checked a few automobile owners manuals and spoke with an auto detailer. They all recommend using ordinary household window cleaner, with a soft cloth, followed by drying with a microfiber cloth. This works for both inside and outside the vehicle, and is best to remove smoke and dust film. If possible, leave windows open to circulate the air. Don’t
Hints from Heloise Columnist
use chlorine-based and disinfectant-type cleaners. They can damage defoggers, electrical conductors and radio antenna pieces. — Heloise GARAGE-DOOR OPENER Dear Readers: Before you leave on a long trip, disconnect your garage-door opener. There
are only so many radio frequencies, and there is the possibility that a crook could have an opener that will open your door! — Heloise NO WRAPPING Dear Heloise: I had a bunch of leftover rectangular wicker baskets. One day, I needed to wrap a birthday present and couldn’t find a box or bag. Then I spied the baskets. I pulled one out and used it with some tissue paper. It made a lovely package, the gift fit perfectly, and the receiver loved it! — Joanne from Texas CLEAN PLANT POTS Dear Readers: When reusing pots for plants, always wash with
hot water and a couple of drops of liquid dishwashing detergent. Use a solution of chlorine bleach and water (1 part bleach to 8 parts water) and let soak for 20 minutes. Once dry, they are ready for use. — Heloise STINKY OINTMENT Dear Heloise: I hated putting the medicated ointment on my husband’s sore muscles because it left my hands smelly and hot! Washing them didn’t always remove the residue. One day at the store, I saw some inexpensive disposable gloves and thought I could use them with the ointment. So, I bought a box, and now everything is great! — G.R. in Atlanta

HOROSCOPE Friday, Feb. 17, 2012 In the year ahead, an old romantic interest might re-enter your life with an attempt to revitalize some banked embers. If it didn’t end badly before, it might be worth it to take a second look. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Regardless of where you’re at or what you’re doing, be content with your situation. If you display a desire to be elsewhere, it will have an effect on how others feel about you. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — When involved with friends who are generous and considerate, be sure to unlock your wallet as best you can. If you don’t, the contrast will make you look like a skinflint. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Relax and just be yourself because, unfortunately, any form of pretense could make you look phony and would produce the opposite effect of the one you are trying to make. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — If you allow your emotions to gain the upper hand, they are likely to affect your ability to evaluate certain situations in a meaningful manner. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Usually you’re not the type of person who tends to nurse grudges, yet you might have a difficult time being around someone whom you feel treated you badly. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Be cognizant of what you say and how you behave. You could unintentionally do something or use words that will make you look rudely disinterested in what others say or do. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — All you may want is to be helpful, but a friend might consider any unsolicited suggestions on your behalf to be uncouth criticism. Be sure your pal wants an honest assessment of his or her work. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Lending money or something of value to someone who, time after time, fails to return what he or she borrows could be a pretty dopey thing to do. If you get taken, it’ll be your own fault. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Even if it’s inconvenient for you, stand by your word. If you break a promise you made, someone who holds you in high esteem will be severely disappointed. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Strive to be discerning of the job you’re doing, especially if you consider it to be a work of art. Your normally excellent taste might not be up to the job’s demands. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Be sure your purse can withstand any extravagant splurges you subject it to. Once you empty it, it might take quite a while to replenish. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Whether you be flitting through the social sphere or merely taking care of business at work, be on your best behavior when placed in a highly visible position. Antisocial actions always mar one’s image. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Friday, Feb. 17, the 48th day of 2012. There are 318 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 17, 1972, President Richard M. Nixon departed the White House with his wife, Pat, on a historic trip to China, which he called “a journey for peace.” On this date: • In 1801, the U.S. House of Representatives broke an electoral tie between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr, electing Jefferson president; Burr became vice president.
• In 1864, during the Civil War, the Union ship USS Housatonic was rammed and sunk in Charleston Harbor, S.C., by the Confederate hand-cranked submarine HL Hunley, which also sank. • In 1897, the forerunner of the National PTA, the National Congress of Mothers, convened its first meeting, in Washington. • In 1933, Newsweek was first published by Thomas J.C. Martyn under the title “News-Week.” • In 1986, Johnson & Johnson announced it would no longer sell over-the-counter medications in
capsule form, following the death of a woman who had taken a cyanide-laced Tylenol capsule. • In 1992, serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer was sentenced in Milwaukee to life in prison (he was beaten to death by a fellow inmate in Nov. 1994). • Today’s Birthdays: Actor Hal Holbrook is 87. Football Hallof-Famer Jim Brown is 76. Actress Rene Russo is 58. Actor Lou Diamond Phillips is 50. Basketball Hall of Famer Michael Jordan is 49. Actor-comedian Larry, the Cable Guy is 49.
Earthquake simulator to be made at U.A. trolled environment. “In essence, the table is a large piece of steel that moves back and forth and represents the motion of the earth. This particular table is designed to be used to collapse structures,” said John van de Lindt, professor and endowed chair of UA’s civil construction and environmental engineering program. “We want to know the margin against structure collapses. We can’t know that unless we know exactly how these structures col-
lapse.” Some might argue that Alabama is an odd place for an earthquake lab. However, van de Lindt left Colorado State University, a place with a lot more seismic activity, to work at UA. “We’re doing this work here because, from an educational standpoint, we’re educating global engineers,” he said. “The engineers we put out into the world are ready to go out and meet anything, and this is a global problem.” Van de Lindt said once

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — There aren’t very many rooms in the world that can successfully reproduce the devastating effects of an earthquake. But come May 1, a laboratory on the University of Alabama campus may be able to do just that. Work is under way to outfit the laboratory within UA’s South Engineering Research Center with what is called a shake table to subject building design codes and materials to nature’s wrath in a con-
the lab is outfitted with the table, it will be one of a kind in the Southeast and one of no more than 10 similar laboratories nationwide. With such capability, it should come as no surprise that the lab has such an imposing appearance. The ceiling of the lab reaches some 30 feet up, and just below it are twin cranes capable of lifting 15 tons, not to mention two more cranes capable of lifting 5 tons. The 3-foot thick concrete floor of the lab is actually porous. Every 3 feet in all directions there is a hole in the floor that can be uncapped in order to anchor the shake table and other equipment used in the lab with long rods that descend into the basement of the facility. Lining the walls of the lab are pipes capable of funneling 720 gallons of hydraulic fluid into the shake table each minute. Van de Lindt said he designed the shake table himself. The system is composed of several steel blocks placed on rails attached to the floor. Those blocks are
then fastened to actuators, the large rods that do all the shaking. The table itself is solid steel, measuring 17-feetlong by 17-feet-wide and weighing in at 32,000 pounds, van de Lindt said. It hasn’t arrived at the lab yet, but will be placed atop the steel blocks. Once the table is in place, UA researchers can begin building structures and parts of structures atop it for testing. Van de Lindt said the table is capable of supporting structures of upwards of 50,000 pounds. Van de Lindt said that what makes UA’s shake table system so unique is that it’s capable of doing hybrid testing that other labs can’t do. A few yards away from where the shake table will be built is a pit measuring 10 feet deep, 10 feet wide and 10 feet long. Called the “soil pit,” it will allow UA researchers to not only test the effects of an earthquake on structures but also to measure its effects on soil or other foundations that lie beneath structures. Researchers will build a
foundation within the soil pit and attach an actuator to apply motion to it. Once the test begins, van de Lindt said researchers can measure the response of both the structure atop the table and whatever is inside the soil pit, all while changing the motion of the shake table accordingly. “It’s an extremely different test and something that hasn’t been done before,” he said. Van de Lindt said this hybrid testing is important because it would shed light on whether or not design codes in earthquake engineering have been too strong or not strong enough. “These design codes have been calibrated without the information of such a test that includes the soil information. It’s possible that these codes could be conservative. We could be building structures that are too strong. Some might ask how is that a bad thing, but that’s potentially a waste of money,” he said. “But what is more likely is that we are not designing structures as safe as we could be.”

TODAY’S TIPS
NEW YORK (AP) — Jeremy Lin’s first NBA coach was practically gushing as he listed the qualities that have made the former Harvard guard a star in New York. The same ones, by the way, that would still have him riding Golden State’s bench. And that couldn’t even get him drafted. And that got him cut twice and demoted to the minors four times. In fact, Keith Smart isn’t the only guy who didn’t see what he had with Lin. “It’s good (the) Monday morning quarterbacks are here now,” Smart said, “but no one could have predicted this guy being this big.” Almost no one, anyway. Even Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni had so many questions about Lin’s defense and shooting that he only gave him a chance when the team was desperate. Now Lin’s control of the offense draws comparisons to Phoenix star Steve Nash. But before picking on all the NBA people who missed on Lin, start with those hundreds of coaches who wouldn’t even give him a scholarship to play in college. “I couldn’t even get some D-III schools to look at me,” he said Thursday during an ESPN Radio

The Miami Heat’s LeBron James (6) signals a play against the Cleveland Cavaliers March 29, 2011 in Cleveland. In recent weeks, James’ future has been a topic of conversation in Cleveland, where some fans wonder if there could be a day when he plays for the Cavaliers again.
However, James appeared sincere when talking about a potential return to the Cavs, his fractured relationship with Cavs owner Dan Gilbert and topics ranging from phenom Jeremy Lin to rookie Kyrie Irving following practice on the fourth floor of Quicken Loans Arena. Perhaps it was because he was back in familiar surroundings that prompted James’ remarks. Or maybe it’s part of a larger agenda. Whatever the case, his past with Cleveland, and his decision to bolt from the Cavs, will always be a sensitive subject. After all, James put
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Four days after his big win at Pebble Beach, Phil Mickelson keeps right on rolling. Mickelson hit driver off the deck from just under 300 yards on the par-5 11th that led to a two-putt birdie, and he ended a gorgeous afternoon Thursday at Riviera by chipping in from 35 feet for birdie. That gave him a 5under 66 and a one-shot lead in the Northern Trust Open. Dating to the back nine of his second round at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, Mickelson has made birdie or eagle on one-third of the holes he has played. And his streak of consecutive holes without a bogey finally ended at 49 on the par-3 16th. No matter. He looked good with the putter and with his low, penetrating tee shots that he kept below the tree line on a windy day that prevented low scoring. J.B. Holmes, in his fourth tournament since returning from

Return of the King? LeBron doesn’t want to rule out returning to Cavs CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron James could picture returning one day to the place where his NBA journey began. Back in Cleveland. Imagine that. After practicing in a gym where he refined his game for seven seasons, James said Thursday he would not rule out a return to the Cavaliers, a team he carried to the brink of a title before he spurned an entire region by leaving as a free agent in 2010 to chase a championship with Miami. Asked if he could play for the Cavs again, James initially paused before giving his answer. “I don’t know. I think it would be great,” he said. “It would be fun to play in front of these fans
again. I had a lot fun times in my seven years here. You can’t predict the future and hopefully I continue to stay healthy. I’m here as a Miami Heat player, and I’m happy where I am now, but I don’t rule that out in no sense. “And if I decide to come back, hopefully the fans will accept me.” James’ comments may have been calculated, coming one day before the Cavs host the Heat for the third time since the superstar’s infamous and messy exit from Cleveland. In mentioning a possible reunion, he may be trying to soften the negative response he’ll get Friday night from fans who haven’t forgotten what he did to them.

4 straight for MSU Spartans tid for 1st with Buckeyes
Gary Carter loses battle with cancer Hall of Fame catcher Gary Carter, whose single for the New York Mets in the 1986 World Series touched off one of the most improbable rallies in baseball, died Thursday. He was 57. Carter was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor last May, two weeks after finishing his second season as coach at Palm Beach Atlantic University. See Page 18.
EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Draymond Green had 20 points and 10 rebounds, Keith Appling scored 20 points and No. 7 Michigan State beat No. 15 Wisconsin 69-55 on Thursday night to move back into a firstplace tie with No. 6 Ohio State. The Spartans (21-5, 10-3 Big Ten) have won four straight — the longest active streak in the conference — and six of their last seven games. The Badgers (19-7, 8-5) had won seven of their last eight, including their previous four AP PHOTO road games, after opening the Michigan State’s Adreian Payne, left, and Wisconsin’s Jared Big Ten season with three Berggren reach for a rebound during the first half Thursday in East straight losses. Appling’s three-point play Lansing, Mich.
with 5:24 left in the first half capped a 14-0 run that gave Michigan State a 22-12 lead. The Spartans led 31-19 at halftime and built a 53-33 lead midway through the second half. This was their sixth win over a ranked team this season, most in Division I. Wisconsin’s Jordan Taylor missed 10 of his 13 shots and was held to 13 points. Michigan State, which snapped the Buckeyes’ 39-game home winning streak Saturday night, improved to 16-0 at the Breslin Center. The home of the Spartans was

LeBron ■ CONTINUED FROM 16 Cleveland back on the NBA map by taking the Cavs to one finals and winning two MVP awards during his stay. He left the franchise during a summer in which he held an entire city at bay as it awaited his decision. After he announced he was joining the Heat during a nationally televised special, the Akron native was vilified by the same fans who cheered every one of his dribbles and dunks. Time has healed some of the wounds not all. James said he has made
no attempt to patch things up with Gilbert, who harshly criticized James in a scathing letter to Cleveland’s fans. Gilbert promised to win a title before James, questioned his character and told The Associated Press he felt James quit on the Cavs during the playoffs. James said he has no bitterness toward Gilbert. They have not spoken since James met with the Cavaliers on July 3, 2010, when they were one of several teams courting him to sign with them. “I don’t have any hard
feelings. He said what he said and I’ve moved on,” said James, who is under contract with the Heat for two more seasons. “But there’s been no attempt to patch things up.” James, however, said he can envision being friends again with Gilbert. “I don’t hold grudges,” he said. “I hold them a little bit, but I don’t hold them that long. He said what he said out of anger and he would probably want to take that back. But I made a mistake, too, and there are some things I would want to take back
as well. “You make mistakes and move on.” But could he play for Gilbert? “Dan is not the coach,” he said. “I can play for any coach. We’ll see what happens.” Attempts to reach Gilbert were unsuccessful. It wasn’t clear if by “mistake” James meant the way he announced his departure from Cleveland or joining the Heat. He insists he’s happy in South Florida and committed to winning a title with the Heat, who are favored to

win it all this season after losing to Dallas in the finals last June. James acknowledged he’s changed and enjoying hoops the way he once did. “I’m back to how I was in Cleveland, having fun with the game, appreciating the game, loving the game and playing at a high level,” he said. “I got away from that last year. It was a difficult year for me last year, making the whole transition, on and off the floor, going through everything I went through. “I just got back to how I got to this point, back to
playing the way I know how to play.” James’ comments about a return to Cleveland albeit unlikely caught former teammate Antawn Jamison off guard. “It surprises me that he’s saying that now,” said Jamison, who played 25 games with James in 2010 after coming over in a trade. “Three years down the road it wouldn’t surprise me if he entertains the idea. But hey, after the first go-round, I don’t think anything would surprise you as far as scenarios taking place.”

‘Kid’ Carter dead at 57 Hall of Fame catcher loses battle with brain cancer NEW YORK (AP) — Gary Carter was nicknamed “Kid” for good reason. His smile, bubbly personality and eagerness to excel on a ballfield made him a joy to watch at the plate and behind it. Even his Hall of Fame bronze plaque at Cooperstown shows him with a toothy grin — the Kid forever. The star catcher, whose single for the New York Mets in the 1986 World Series touched off one of the most improbable rallies in baseball, died Thursday. He was 57. Carter was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor last May, two weeks after finishing his second season as coach at Palm Beach Atlantic University. Mets spokesman Jay Horwitz said Carter died at a hospice in the West Palm Beach, Fla., area. “I am deeply saddened to tell you all that my precious dad went to be with Jesus today at 4:10 p.m.,” Carter’s daughter Kimmy Bloemers wrote on the family website. “This is the most difficult thing I have ever had to write in my entire life but I wanted you all to know.” Carter was an 11-time All-Star and three-time Gold Glove winner. His bottom-of-the-10th single in Game 6 of the 1986 Series helped the Mets mount a charge against the Boston Red Sox and eventually beat them. With curly, blond locks flaring out from beneath his helmet, and a rigid, upright batting stance, Carter was immediately recognizable. And anyone who watched Carter recognized his zest. “Nobody loved the game of baseball more than Gary Carter. Nobody enjoyed playing the game of baseball more than Gary Carter. He wore his heart on his sleeve every inning he played,” Mets Hall of Fame pitcher Tom Seaver said.

New York Mets Gary Carter is lifted in the air by relief pitcher Jese Orosco following the Mets’ 8-5 victory over the Boston Red Sox in Game 7 of the World Series Oct. 27, 1986 at New York’s Shea Stadium. After Carter’s diagnosis, the Mets began playing a highlight reel of his accomplishments on the video board during games at Citi Field and posted this message: “Our thoughts are with you Gary. From your millions of fans and the New York Mets.” “His nickname ‘The Kid’ captured how Gary approached life,” the Mets said Thursday in a statement. “He did everything with enthusiasm and with gusto on and off the field. His smile was infectious. … He was a Hall of Famer in everything he did.” Carter played nearly two decades with the Mets, Montreal, San Francisco and the Los Angeles Dodgers. He led the Expos to their only playoff berth and
was the first player enshrined in Cooperstown wearing an Expos cap. ”Gary was one of the happiest guys in the world every day,” Mets teammate Mookie Wilson once said. Carter was known as much for his effervescent personality as his talents. He earned his nickname as an eager teen in his first major league camp and the label stuck for the rest of his career, and beyond. “An exuberant on-field general with a signature smile who was known for clutch hitting and rock-solid defense over 19 seasons,” reads his Hall plaque. He was especially pumped during the biggest moment of his career. The powerful Mets were down to their last chance in the ‘86
Series when Carter stepped up with two outs. No one was on base, and New York was trailing Boston 5-3 in the bottom of the 10th inning in Game 6. Carter said he had just one thought in mind: “I wasn’t going to make the last out of the World Series.” True to his word, he delivered a clean single to left field off Red Sox reliever Calvin Schiraldi. Kevin Mitchell followed with a single, and when Ray Knight also singled, Carter scampered home from second base. As Carter crossed the plate, he clapped his hands, pointed at Wilson on deck and clapped again. Moments later, Bill Buckner’s error scored Knight for an amazing 6-5 win. Carter rushed from the dugout to join the celebration at home plate, catcher’s gear already on. Overshadowed by the rally was the fact that Carter had tied the game with a sacrifice fly in the eighth. Then in Game 7, Carter drove in the tying run in the sixth inning, and the Mets went on to win their most recent championship. “What he added to the team was character. His approach to the game was contagious. It spread to the rest of us. He helped each of us understand what it took to win,” former teammate Darryl Strawberry said. Carter homered twice over the Green Monster at Fenway Park in Game 4 and totaled nine RBIs in that Series. Since then, only two players have gotten more in a World Series. Overall, Carter hit .262 with 324 home runs and 1,225 RBIs with the Expos, Mets, San Francisco and the Los Angeles Dodgers. He set the major league record for putouts by a catcher, a testament to his durability despite nine knee operations.

New fame not helping Bayne What all that newfound fame hasn’t done for Bayne, though, is get him a fulltime ride in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup series or a guaranteed starting spot in this year’s Daytona 500. Bayne’s team, Wood Brothers Racing, currently plans to run him in 14 Sprint Cup series races this season. For now, at least, he doesn’t have a full-time Nationwide Series ride either. “It’s OK,” Bayne said at

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A year later, Trevor Bayne still can’t quite believe the whirlwind of instant notoriety that followed his wild Daytona 500 victory. Bayne fondly recalls taking a congratulatory phone call from Vice President Joe Biden, meeting a list of celebrities that included Pamela Anderson, and talking to an athlete he’s often compared with, Tim Tebow.

Thursday’s media day at Daytona International Speedway. “We’re just making the best of what we’ve got right now and it’s tough to do that when you only have a few races. For me, I’m running about the same schedule I ran in Cup last year. It’s kind of one a month with the 21 car, but in Nationwide I had hoped to run a full season this year and run for a championship. Obviously, as a young guy
you want to have championships under your belt and full seasons.” The Feb. 26 Daytona 500 is on Bayne’s limited schedule, but he doesn’t have one of the starting spots guaranteed to the top 35 teams in points from last season. He says they don’t plan on trying to buy a guaranteed spot from another team so he’ll have earn a spot in Sunday’s qualifying or Thursday’s qualifying races.

Lin ■ CONTINUED FROM 16 interview. How can that be? How did so many teams on so many levels pass on a guy who scored more points in his first five NBA starts than any player since the 1976-77 merger with the ABA? “This is hard to predict,” D’Antoni said. “It’s like winning the lottery. You buy a ticket, you hope, but there’s no guarantee it’s going to happen.” It sure didn’t in Golden State or Houston, where the teams liked Lin but had too many guards in front of him. And it wouldn’t have happened in New York if Baron Davis had gotten over his back woes sooner, or if Iman Shumpert didn’t hurt his knee in the season opener, or if any of the three point guards D’Antoni tried first had been able to run his offense properly. It took all those circumstances to get Lin to New York, then onto the court, which is why Smart and Minnesota director of basketball operations Rob Babcock both called it a “perfect storm.” He’s been so good that the NBA added him Thursday to the roster of players for the Rising Stars
Challenge at All-Star weekend. He wasn’t among the original 18 players who were chosen but now will play in the Feb. 24 game of rookies and second-year players. The Warriors liked Lin, a native of Northern California, enough to give him a two-year deal. But Smart had a high-scoring backcourt with Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry, not to mention backups Reggie Williams and Acie Law. So the Warriors got Lin into only 29 games last season while sending him to Reno for three stints in the NBA Development League. They cut him in December when they were trying to sign center DeAndre Jordan away from the Clippers, and Lin was discouraged when he was a claimed by a Houston team that he said had six point guards in training camp. The Rockets cut him after two weeks, and though current point guard Kyle Lowry was an All-Star candidate, general manager Daryl Morey recently wrote on Twitter that he regretted giving up Lin. There’s plenty of similar mea culpas being made around the NBA these days.

Golf ■ CONTINUED FROM 16 brain surgery in September, played his final six holes without a par. His round ended with a 315-yard tee shot a big drive in the cool air of Los Angeles in February and an approach to 8 feet for birdie at No. 9, the second-toughest hole at Riviera. That gave him a 4under 67. He was tied with Hunter Mahan. LPGA Thailand PATTAYA, Thailand —
Japan’s Ai Miyazato shot a bogey-free 5-under 67 in warm and humid conditions to take a one-stroke lead after the first round of the LPGA Thailand. Miyazato won the 2010 tournament on the Old Course at Siam Country Club. Karrie Webb, Na Yeon Choi, Se Ri Pak, Anna Nordqvist and Amy Yang were a stroke back. Paula Creamer had a hole-in-one on the 146yard 12th hole in her 72.

Roundup ■ CONTINUED FROM 16 so loud late in the first half that official Mike Sanzere told ranting Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan that he couldn’t hear him. Ryan was often livid in the first half, screaming about calls that were made or that he thought were missed, but was much more subdued on the sideline after halftime as the Badgers headed toward a familiar fate on the road
against a highly ranked team in the Big Ten. No. 20 Florida St. 48, Virginia Tech 47 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Michael Snaer’s 3-pointer with 2.6 seconds left boosted No. 20 Florida State to a 4847 victory over Virginia Tech on Thursday night, keeping the Seminoles in a firstplace tie in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Snaer, who had made only 3 of his 10 previous shots, hit the game-winner
from nearly the identical spot he produced similar heroics in Florida State’s 7673 win at Duke on Jan. 21. Ian Miller led Florida State (18-7, 9-2) with 11 points and Snaer had nine to help the Seminoles rally from a 15-point deficit early in the second half. • Women No. 9 Ohio State 75, Indiana 54 COLUMBUS — Tayler Hill scored 27 points and No. 9 Ohio State never trailed in
handing Indiana its 13th straight loss, 75-54 on Thursday night, even with the Buckeyes playing without Big Ten scoring leader Samantha Prahalis. Ohio State (23-3, 10-3), which has won the last nine meetings with Indiana, never trailed while staying in a tie for the top spot in the Big Ten. Aulani Sinclair had 23 points and Quaneisha McCurty 11 for the Hoosiers (5-21, 0-13).
