Options set for those lacking new insurance Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar Associated Press

WASHINGTON — People whose existing health care insurance has been canceled because of the Affordable Care Act will not be hit with tax penalties for failing to line up new coverage as required under the law. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius says she will use authorities in the law to issue a “temporary hardship exemption” from those penalties. Under another stopgap option Sebelius announced T h u r s d ay, t h o s e wh o s e plans were canceled will be able to buy a bare-bones catastrophic plan regardless of their age. Such plans had been intended for those under 30. A dedicated hotline for people who got cancella-

tions, 1-866-837-0677, is being set up by the Health and Human Services Department as part of the effort to head off more bad news coming from the chaotic rollout of President Barack Obama’s health care law. Democrats praised the steps as a common-sense backup in a difficult situation while Republicans panned the administration action as another patch to an unworkable law. The insurance industry immediately criticized the moves. “This latest rule change could cause significant instability in the marketplace and lead to further confusion and disruption for consumers,” said Robert Zirkelbach, spokesman for America’s Health Insurance Plans. Only Wednesday, the industry had announced its

or years, David Behling has been a grief counselor and pastor. He serves part time at First Baptist Church in Charlevoix, and has long led bereavement and family counseling. Behling served in hospital ministry for more than 20 years, he said, including serving as chaplain at Charlevoix Area Hospital. He also works with Hospice of Northwest Michigan and their bereavement programs. Behling, with wife, Dawn, and two sons, has also lost a daughter. Their daughter, Miriam Rae Behling, died in a car accident in 2005. She was 19. “People’s bereavement is what I do as a profession, but we have also lived it,” said Behling. Cataclysmic losses like the Behlings’ can be particularly difficult around the holidays.

“Here’s a season that is supposed to be filed with gratefulness and joy, and you’re not feeling real joyful,” said Behling. Behling came to know all too well the task of tackling grief. He gives four steps: first, a person must accept the reality of the loss. See brief on Page A14

he holiday season brings with it many traditions — gift-giving, decorating, special foods and gatherings with friends and family are a few examples. But as mental health professionals note, the celebratory atmosphere this time of year can also be accompanied by feelings of stress. Karleen Berry, outpatient psychotherapist at the Petoskey office of North Country Community Mental Health, notes that stress levels can increase when one is trying to pursue a multitude of projects, a situation many people find themselves in as they prepare for and participate in holiday happenings. Low energy levels, fatigue, irritability and an inability to find peace and calm can be common signs that one is experiencing stress, she said.

Along with demanding tasks, Berry noted that the holiday season occurs at a time of year when seasonal affective disorder brings depressive symptoms for some people, and when illnesses such as the flu sometimes work against people’s well-being. Some contributors to stress are easier to control than others, she added. The expectations many people see to be fulfilled around the holidays can factor in as well. “For a lot of people, the stress is dwelling on the past,” Berry said, noting recollections of past holiday seasons’ shortcomings and disappointments can be stressful when they occur. Petoskey-based psychologist M. Teri Daunter noted additional situations which can add to holiday-season stress. “People with addictions, especially alcohol addictions, have the most difficult time during the holidays especially if they are in

Detroit City Council to discuss new Red Wings arena deal DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit City Council has called a special session to discuss a management agreement for a Detroit Red Wings sports arena and entertainment complex just outside downtown. Council members also are expected Friday to consider changing the city code to add property to Detroit’s Downtown Development District. Expansion of the district’s boundaries is a step needed for plans for the new arena to move forward. The Wings would move from Joe Louis Arena to the new facility, which would seat 18,000 for hockey and other events.

State police step up patrols ahead of Christmas

LANSING (AP) — Police in Michigan plan to step up patrols ahead of the Christmas holiday. Michigan State Police are participating in the Operation CARE Lifesaver Weekend, which involves police from around the country. CARE stands for Combined Accident Reduction Effort. The aim is to reduce traffic injuries and fatalities linked to dangerous driving. State Police Director Col. Kriste Kibbey Etue said in a statement that troopers will be “taking a zero-tolerance approach to impaired drivers and motorists who are exhibiting any unsafe driving practice, including not wearing their safety belt, running red lights and drowsy and distracted driving.” Operation CARE Lifesaver Weekend begins Friday night and runs through the end of the day Sunday.

Hundreds of Michigan schools closed amid icy roads GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — Hundreds of school closings are reported in Michigan as freezing rain and wintry weather left roadways slippery. Broadcasters report hundreds of closings Friday in western Michigan. In southeastern Michigan, closings are reported in counties including Oakland, Macomb and Livingston. Slippery roads extended into Lapeer, St. Clair, Genesee and Shiawassee counties, where some schools also shut. The closings came on what would have been the last day of school this year for many students. The National Weather Service says a mix of rain and snow is expected for Friday in the southern Lower Peninsula. In the northern Lower Peninsula, forecasters predict 3 to 6 inches of snow is possible in places. Wintry weather is expected to continue through the weekend. Southeastern Michigan could see freezing rain Saturday and snow Sunday.

Michigan Tech students give proposal to heat buildings through mine water Sarah Blakely WLUC-TV (Marquette)

CALUMET (AP) — Michigan Tech student researchers have spent the semester analyzing the feasibility of using mine water to heat buildings in the village of Calumet through a geothermal energy system. With 37 mine shafts holding billions of gallons of water beneath the village of Calumet, the researchers took it upon themselves to see it put to use, according to WLUC-TV in Marquette. “This is a sustainable resource, and we have so many around the area that one pos-

sible thing that we could save on is cost, and that seems to be a huge issue around this area,” said student researcher Carrie Karvakko. Mine water would be pumped through a heat exchanger, sent through pipelines in buildings, and then sent back to the mine to be used again. Currently, Michigan Tech’s Keweenaw Research Center operates on a $100,000 geothermal energy system that has saved the facility an estimated 30 percent in costs. KRC executive director Jay Meldr um said the system proves more useful than a standard gas boiler.

“The biggest advantage is we have the ability to air condition in the summer, and we have the ability to air condition areas even in the winter that become warmer,” said Meldrum. The students also spoke with residents of Calumet to gather information about the social implications. “Most of the people that we talked with really felt like the water in the mines is a community resource,” explained associate professor Richelle Winkler. “It was built off the toil of peoples’ ancestors working in the mine, and so this is something that, really, the commu-

nity owns it. It’s theirs to do something with or not.” “We even think that there’s a possibility of some kind of coop system that could be developed and distribute that water throughout the town and have more of a district heating operation,” Meldrum added. Meldrum said based on the KRC, the geothermal system could be technically feasible if the village wished to continue with the idea. “This is such a cultural legacy here, the mining, and to actually be able to utilize it, not just for mining but for something else, you’re keeping that legacy here,” Karvakko added.

Detroit-owned Van Gogh appraised at up to $150 million Corey Williams Associated Press

DETROIT — The fair market values of some of the most popular pieces in the Detroit Institute of Arts — including Bruegel the Elder’s “The Wedding Dance” and a Van Gogh self-portrait — have been released. Christie’s auction house appraised about 2,800 paintings, sculptures, pottery and other city-owned ar twork at the city’s request. The list of the items and how much each would fetch at sale were released Thursday by the city. “The Wedding Dance” is valued at $100 million to $200 million, while Van Gogh’s “Self Por trait with Straw Hat” was given a price tag of between $80 million and $150 million. State-appointed emergency manager Kevyn Or r hired Christie’s to do the work. Orr has said city-owned art in the museum can be considered an asset and could be vulnerable during a bankruptcy. He filed for bankrupt-

vangoghgallery.com

cy in July, and federal Judge Steven Rhodes approved the petition Dec. 3. The high values of some of Detroit’s pieces are not surprising, said Charles Guerin, director of the Hyde Collection in Glen Falls, New York. “The art market has become a place to invest large sums of money,” Guerin said. “Art is a commodity, especially when you get into those numbers. It’s amazing somebody

would even have $150 million to spend. There are a lot of wealthy people in the world who can look at $150 million as if it’s chump change.” According to the appraisal by New York-based Christie’s, the city-owned pieces at the Detroit Institute of Arts are collectively worth between $454 million to $867 million. They re pre s e n t ab o u t f ive p e rc e n t of the museum’s estimated 66,000-work collection. Orr has said the city’s debt is at least $18 billion. That includes $5.7 billion in unfunded health care obligations and $3.5 billion in unfunded pension liabilities. He is expected to present a plan of adjustment for fiscal restructuring to the bankruptcy court in early January that will include his recommendations for the art. Guerin cautioned against selling any of the art, saying it would be “short-sighted.” “ D e t ro i t i s a g re at c i t y. One of the things that make it a great city is that it has an absolutely g reat muse-

um,” he said. Here are some of the highlights of the appraisal: — “The Wedding Dance,” Pieter Brue gel I, $100 million-$200 million. — “Self Portrait with Straw Hat,” Vincent Van Gogh, $80 million-$150 million. — “The Visitation,” Rembrandt Harmensz. Van Rijn, $50 million-$90 million. — “Le guéridon,” Henri Matisse, $40 million-$80 million. — “Gladioli,” Claude Monet, $12 million-$20 million. — “The Palla Altarpiece: Tobias and Three Archangels,” Neri Di Bicci, $8 million-$15 million. — “ Po r t r a i t o f H e n d r i k Swalmius,” Frans Hals, $6 million-$10 million. — “Madonna and Child,” Giovanni Bellini and Workshop, $4 million-$10 million. — “Saint Jerome in His Study,” Workshop of Jan Van Eyck, $4 million-$8 million. — “A dead hare with flowers and onions on a ledge,” Jean-Simeon Chardin, $5 million-$7 million.

Two companies to invest $28.6 million, add jobs in Michigan LANSING (AP) — Two companies planning to invest up to $28.6 million in Michigan are getting support for expansion efforts from the state. The Michigan Economic Development Corp. this week announced that Circuit Controls

Corp. and North American Lighting Inc. are getting incentives approved by the Michigan Strategic Fund. The state says the expansions could mean 112 new Michigan jobs. Circuit Controls makes automotive electrical terminals and

is a subsidiary of Tokyo-based Yazaki Corp. The company is planning to expand its manufacturing facility in Emmet County’s Bear Creek Township as part of an effort to support new business. Illinois-based North Ameri-

can Lighting makes automotive lighting equipment. The company has an engineering and sales facility in Michigan, and it plans to lease a larger facility and expand engineering and sales operations in Farmington Hills.

Our View

Reezie DeVet made our community stronger I t was a job she never asked for. But as a community, we’re stronger because of her. After more than three years as president and CEO of McLaren Northern Michigan, which was formerly Northern Michigan Regional Hospital and previously Northern Michigan Hospital, Reezie DeVet is retiring at the end of this year. And while she does plan to stay in the area and remain active in various projects, we’d like to thank her for her tireless service to making our community a better place to live. “I’ve planned on retiring sev-

eral times before now,” DeVet told the News-Review back in April. “It’s true that it’s never a good time — there’s a lot happening in health DeVet care — but right now, for me, this is the right time.” DeVet has watched the hospital go through some major changes during her tenure — the untimely loss of her predecessor, difficult layoffs, changing health care reform and becoming part of a larger health system.

DeVet joined the health system in 2003 when it was known as Northern Michigan Hospital, as vice president and chief nurse executive. In 2006, she was named chief operating officer. And in 2009, DeVet rose to fill the seat of president Tom Mroczkowski, after his sudden death in November of that year. Managing through that transition and being thrust into a role she never anticipated was a tough time, DeVet admitted. But in the years that followed, DeVet rose to meet a number of challenges. She was one of the leaders in making the John and Marnie

Demmer Wellness Pavilion and Dialysis Center in Petoskey a reality. The center opened in 2011 and offers a variety of outpatient services. In January 2012, DeVet announced Northern Michigan Regional Health System had become part of Flint-based McLaren Health Care, and was later renamed McLaren Northern Michigan. By becoming part of McLaren, the hospital began seeing benefits almost immediately, primarily financially and gaining the ability to offer more medical services to patients. And in the spring of 2012, De-

Vet helped manage through the sudden closure of the former Cheboygan Memorial Hospital, which later became McLaren Northern Michigan Cheboygan Campus. DeVet’s foresight has made our local hospital stronger. Her leadership has made the quality of care in our region stronger. And her commitment has made our community stronger. Thank you, Reezie.

Letters from our readers Petoskey Center: Once burned, twice shy Editor: Is this a distant replay of Petoskey Pointe? Two out-of-town entrepreneurs with extravagant plans: Requesting reduced taxes, moneys from Petoskey’s already depleted funds, changes in building codes especially enormous height variance equalling a complete change of atmosphere of our town. Then the infamous leave town with their bags of gold and Petoskey is left holding a bag of debt. Once burned, twice shy and beware and beware. Judith A. Caird Petoskey

Petoskey Center: What’s next? Editor: On Dec. 12, I spent two hours listening to the Petoskey City Council and the Petoskey Planning Commission discussing the future of the Petoskey Pointe site. Most of the time was spent on rehashing concerns about proposed building heights in the downtown area. What will it look like? What will make us feel comfortable? What will happen to the waterfront panorama? These are all justified questions but hardly helpful in encouraging any potential developer to invest his energy and money in our community. I would like to propose the following questions for the next joint discussion? 1. What can we (city council, planning commission, chamber of commerce) do to revitalize the downtown business district? Attracting permanent residents in addition to more short term tourists no doubt would prove helpful. 2. How can we attract permanent residents? Offering a variety of residential accommodations in the downtown area would prove very helpful. A significant number of condominiums included in the Petoskey Pointe project were presold long before the big hole was dug. 3. What needs to be done to facilitate the construction of condominiums and upper floor apartments in the downtown area? Some updating of the zoning rules, some agreement on what really counts when it comes to preserving our special small town community.

I hope to witness not only another lively discussion but some determined steps forward toward getting the Petoskey Center project to sprout out of its deep hole. Gustav Uhlich Petoskey

Sarowski should take closer look at Common Core Editor: It is unfortunate that Nancy Sarowski did not look for further information about the Common Core before stating her opinion (News-Review, Tuesday, Dec. 17). First of all, social studies standards are still Michigan Grade Level Content Expectations. The same ones what were being used well before the Common Core was piloted and implemented this year. Second, Pearson Education develops textbooks and they use the Common Core as a guideline. Nowhere in the fifth grade standards for English Language Arts does it require students to edit sentences that are opinions (A president’s job is not easy) or incorrect information (The president makes sure the laws of the country are fair). It was the choice of the textbook developers to create that worksheet. Lastly, Reading Street ELA textbooks are not used by all schools in the country. Each school district chooses the text they desire and I know many teachers would prefer the students work on editing their own work rather than arbitrary sentences. Nancy states that “Our children will be given an inadequate education to be successful in a free market society. They will not have the motivation or the skills to be self-sufficient.” The Common Core was developed for students to become independent thinkers, work with a variety of text and be able to write in various situations. As a parent, I believe it is up to me to motivate my children and make sure they have the skills to self sufficient. And I most definitely do not want them dependent on me when they are adults. By the way, in fifth grade, students study the Constitution, become familiar with the Bill of Rights and in fourth grade they learn about free market economies. These standards are in the Michigan GLCEs. Michele Hinkle Charlevoix NewsRoom

Renée Tanner: I am a mom I am a mom. I wear clothes that I bought 5 years ago, but when I stop to think, it was really more like 15. I am a mom. I make sure the kids eat healthy, nutritious food, while I eat Cheez-Its and pickles for breakfast. I am a mom. I delegate chores to the kids, and tremble inside when I think of how much I will have to do when they’re not here to help me anymore. I am a mom. I cannot sleep because I’m afraid my baby will stop breathing in the night. And I cannot sleep when my daughter is out late and isn’t answering her texts. I am a mom. I feel guilty all of the time. I don’t understand when no one else seems to feel the same way. I am a mom. When the phone rings at 2 a.m., I fear the worst. When I find out it is just a group of giggly girls who ask for my son, I am proud. I am a mom. I use everything

Renée Tanner

Because I said so

as a teachable moment. I am a mom. If something gets spilled I am either getting a wet towel or screaming at someone else to “Hurry up before it stains!” I am a mom. I cry at sappy commercials and emotional birthday cards. I am a mom. Going to the grocery store is on my list of “fun things to do with the family.” I am a mom. I wear homemade jewelry and my walls are decorated with kindergarten paintings. I am a mom. Somewhere in my house is a strip of wall with heights of children and

dates scratched deep into the drywall. And when the hubby wants to remodel that wall, I chain myself to it in protest. I am a mom. I love anyone who loves my children. I am a mom. I protect and serve. I am a mom. I think about how when the kids are small, the definition of the job is so clear. Keep them safe and alive. Read to them. Teach them. Encourage them. Love them. As they grow, the job description gets fuzzy. I can barely make out the words. I knew this was coming. I don’t like it, and I will put it off as long as possible, but there’s just one thing left to do. Let them go.

Our elected officials, including State Representative Frank Foster, cut school funding and even broke a promise to retired teachers by taxing pensions.

Obituaries Robert ‘Paul’ Cook Sr., 68 Paul Cook passed away Wednesday, Dec. 18, 2013, at his home in Petoskey. He was born in Pontiac, Mich., on Feb. 12, 1945, to Walter and Isadore (VanGilder) Cook. The family moved to the Charlevoix area when he was 2 and then on to Petoskey where he attended school, ran track, played intramural basketball and was on the football team, graduating from Petoskey High School with the class of 1964. He served his country from August 1965 until January 1969 in the Air Force, reaching the rank of sergeant. His last assignment was at Kincheloe Air Force Base at Kinross, Mich., with the 2177th Communication Squadron. Paul married Barbara Mock on Sept. 17, 1966, in Petoskey. Other than the Air Force years, they lived in Petoskey. After his years in the service, he worked for more than 40 years in the LP gas industry starting with PetGas and ending with AmeriGas. He enjoyed delivering the cylinders of gas and being outside year around. He met many wonderful people in his customers, some who remained his friends after his retirement. From 1971 to 1993, he served with pride on the Petoskey Fire Department. He was an EMT, taught first aid and CPR. He valued all the men who were his brothers on the department and still delighted in visiting with them any time he could. He started his love of electronics at an early age. He was mentored by his teacher Bill Steffens at Petoskey Schools where he won a state award for a lamp he made. He learned more while in the Air Force working on ground radio communications. He would always try to see the Air Force Thunderbirds and the Navy Blue Angels, if he was anywhere near an air show. After years of studying Morse code and testing through all the levels of Armature Radio, he reached his Extra Class License, joined the Quarter Century Club and tried to go to several H.A.M. Radio HAMFESTs every year. He enjoyed his time on the radio talking with his H.A.M. buddies Dick, Rick, Ken, Jim and many others. After 40 years, N8IZF has signed off for the last time and is now a Silent Key. Community was important to Paul as well as helping others: the fire department; giving gallons of blood until his health terminated that gift of giving; helping family, friends, neighbors and strangers. Rob got him involved in helping with BMX bike racing and off-road motorcycling. Many happy Sundays were spent with the Page and Hansen families at the Hansen cabin riding those

bikes and trying to outdo each other. He enjoyed the water and the many summers spent at his in-laws at Cook their Walloon Lake home. He finally did get up on waterskis after Barb dragged him around the lake a few times. Family card games of cribbage, pinochle, euchre, 31 were never turned down: he played to win, but played for the fun of it and didn’t take it too seriously. He was well known in the family for his silly, dumb jokes, which weren’t always appreciated, but will be missed. His children remember his love of M&M’s, diet caffeine free Pepsi, peanut butter and ketchup sandwiches, Star Trek, chocolate covered cherries, a good burger or steak on the grill — only slightly warm — and chocolate shakes from the DQ! The grandchildren were very dear to his heart and he was proud to be their Papa and Grandpa. He just wished that they lived closer so he could see them more and enjoy their company. He was looking forward to the next grandbaby in January 2014. Paul is survived by his wife of 47 years, Barbara Jean (Mock); his children, Rob (Robert P. Cook Jr.), his girlfriend, Lorry Parrott, and her son, Will Parrott, of Indian River, Air Force 1st Lt. Valerie Kay Cook of Cheyenne, Wyo., and her daughters, Kayla Dawn Hodgson of Powell, Wyo., and Rebecca Lynn Hodgson at home; Nicole Renee Russell and her husband, Ian, and their baby due in January 2014, of Petoskey, Jacquelyn Susanne Urban and her husband, Army Sgt. Jeffery Alan Urban, and children, Alden Michael Cook and Parker James Urban, of Wahiawa, Hawaii; brother, Walter Cook (Caroline), of Petoskey; sister-in-law, Nancy Cook, of Conway; sister and brother-in-law, Gerri and Dr. Ronald L. VanderMolen, of Birmingham, Mich.; sister-in-law, Sandra Skrei Mock, of Texas; several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Walter and Isadore Cook; his sisters, Norma June Silkowski and Lorraine Wilson and husband, George; brothers, Francis “Bud” Cook and William (Bill) Cook; his motherand father-in-law, Jack and Irene Mock; brother-in-law, Randy Mock. There will be no funeral service at this time with a memorial announced by Stone Funeral Home at a later date. Those wishing to remember Paul in a special way may do so by contributing to any one of the following; Michigan Fireman’s Memorial, P.O. Box 672, Roscommon, MI 48653; American Cancer Society; American Heart Association; or American Diabetes Foundation.

Virginia ‘Jinny’ Cullman, 73 Virginia “Jinny” Cullman of Naples, Florida, and Walloon Lake, passed on Tuesday, Dec. 17, 2013, a peaceful ending to a life lived bravely and fully following a diagnosis of cancer in February 2013. She was 73. Jinny was born and raised in Grand Rapids along with her sister, Joan, by adoring parents, Fremont D. Pace and Josephine Gehrig Pace. She earned a bachelor’s degree from the Honors College at Michigan State University where she was a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. She completed one year of post-graduate studies in psychology and later in mid-life, earned her juris doctor (J.D.) from the University of Detroit and was admitted to both the Michigan Bar and the Florida Bar. Jinny lived and raised her children in Rochester and Birmingham, Michigan. She and husband, Peter Cullman, the love of her life whom she met on a blind date, began vacationing in Naples in 1987. They moved to Naples in 1997 as their full-time winter residence while spending summers on Walloon Lake in beautiful Northern Michigan. In addition to their shared love of tennis which originally brought them together, Jinny and Peter forged a formidable duplicate bridge team and both achieved Life Master status. They were

members and active bridge players at both the Royal Poinciana Country Club in Naples and the Walloon Lake Cullman Country Club in Petoskey. Jinny’s interests included reading, sewing, the arts and cooking. She loved to bring people together through the magic of good food and everyone relished her culinary flair. She was also greatly admired for her talent in designing beautiful and colorful interiors for family and friends to enjoy. No boring beige for Jinny! Our beloved Jinny will be greatly missed by her loving and devoted husband, Peter; her children, Sam Warwick, Joanne Warwick and Susan Considine of Michigan, Abigail and her husband, Sacha DuBéarn and Beth Ann Cullman of Florida; two sweet granddaughters, Alexandra DuBéarn and Tamsin Considine; and many dear nieces, nephews, siblingsin-law and loving friends. She was preceded in death by her sister, Joan Sailer; her father, Fremont (Monty); and her mother, Josephine, who lived to be an impressive 100 years old. A celebration of Jinny’s life will take place in Naples, Fla., the first week of February 2014.

FedEx CEO: Delivery drones unlikely to make big impact

CRAIG LASSIG/AP IMAGES FOR TARGET

Holiday shopping season: A disappointment N E W YO R K ( A P ) — Sparse crowds at malls and “50 percent off ” signs at The Gap and other stores offer clues as to how this holiday season is shaping up so far: It’s the most discount-driven one since the U.S. was in a deep recession. It’s also the most disappointing for stores. Sales are up 2 percent to $176.7 billion from Nov. 1 through Sunday, according to data provided to The Associated Press from store data tracker ShopperTrak. That’s a slower pace than expected with days left in the season. ShopperTrak’s predicts sales will rise 2.4 percent to $265 billion for the two-month stretch that’s typically the busiest shopping period of the year. T h e m o d e s t g r ow t h comes as the amount of discounts that stores are offering this season is up 13 percent from last year — the highest level since 2008, according to financial services firm BMO Capital Markets, which tracks 20

order to attract U.S. shoppers, many of who are still dealing with stagnant wages and rising costs for things like health care. Andrew McSherry, who was shopping for an iPad and other gifts in Atlanta on Sunday, agrees that people are holding back even when there are big sales. McSherry, 44, pointed to the small crowds at Lenox Square Mall over the weekend as proof of that. “The economy is bad and most people’s discretionary income is getting squeezed constantly,” said McSherry, who works at Verizon. “I don’t see any signs of that abating.” Stores are rolling out more discounts to try to attract shoppers in the final days. The number of promotional emails that seven major retailers, including Wal-Mart and Target, sent for the 13-day period that ended Sunday was up nearly 70 percent from the same period last year, according to Market Track, which tracks discounts.

That shift was a factor in the smaller-than-expected gain in FedEx’s second-quarter profit reported on Wednesday. Revenue and U.S. volume both fell slightly in FedEx’s express unit, which handles overnight shipments and is the company’s largest division. Ground shipping revenue rose 10 percent, and freight revenue was up 4 percent. E ve n w i t h s h i p p e r s moving away from express, cost cuts in that unit drove most of the company’s profit growth. Fe d E x C o r p. n e t i ncome rose 14 percent to $500 million, or $1.57 per share. Analysts had been expecting $1.64 per share. A year earlier it earned $438 million, or $1.39 per share. It said superstorm Sandy hurt last year’s profit by 11 cents per share. Edward Jones analyst Logan Purk said FedEx executives once had to manage the shift from its old business of delivering urgent letters, which was replaced by email. Now they’ll do it again as customers increasingly favor ground over air shipping. “They are once again reinventing the business in response to the conditions the market is throwing at them,” he said.

clothing stores. “The holiday season has been marginal to just OK,” said Joel Bines, managing director and co-head of the retail practice at AlixPartners. “Retailers are doing anything they can to get rid of merchandise.” The data underscores how aggressive discounting has been both a blessing and a curse for retailers. Since the recession, the only way to get Americans into stores has been to flash huge discount signs in front of their faces. But the discounting has had unintended consequences. Shoppers become immune to the deals, so retailers must offer bigger discounts to keep them coming into stores. That erodes retailers’ sales since shoppers aren’t buying things for regular price. It also eats away at retailers’ profit margins. Still, analysts say retailers have created a cycle of constant discounting that they’ll have to continue in

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — T he CEO of FedEx doesn’t see drones taking over the package delivery business anytime soon. Fred Smith says FedEx has several drone studies underway. But the idea of delivering items by drone is “almost amusing,” Smith said on a conference call on Wednesday after the company reported financial results. Smith said FedEx has a drone expert on staff — its technology chief, Rob Carter. “He actually owns a drone,” Smith said. “He reported that it operates about eight minutes and can carry four Budweiser beers at his farm.” Jef f Be zos, the CEO of Amazon.com, caused a stir recently when he said Amazon is exploring drone deliveries, and that sending a small package via an automated drone could be reality in a few years. United Parcel Service and German delivery company Deutsche Post DHL have both said they are evaluating drone delivery. There are huge obstacles to residential drone deliveries. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration barred their use for commercial purposes in 2007. No-fly zones abound in places like Washington D.C. There are questions about who is liable if a drone crashes and damages something, or someone, on the ground. T he comments from Smith, who is also FedEx’s chairman and president, came in response to an analyst’s question about online sellers getting into the business of delivering goods them-

Petoskey High novice debate teams place in top 10 at state finals The Petoskey High School novice debate team recently competed at the Michigan Interscholastic Forensic Association Novice State Finals, which took place at Midland Dow High School. Novice policy debaters from Michigan high schools considered whether or not the United States should substantially increase its economic engagement toward Cuba, Mexico, or Venezuela. Petoskey fielded two novice teams at the tournament. Freshmen Alex Esterline, Thomas Keller, Anne Johnson and senior Olivia Tanner went 3-2 and missed breaking to the semi-final elimination round by 15 speaker points, placing eighth overall. The Alex/Thomas/Anne/Olivia team beat Groves and Detroit Country Day High Schools on the negative and Portage Northern on the affirmative, falling to Traverse City Central and West Bloomfield on the affirmative. Senior Wayne Campbell and freshmen Kaden DeCastro, Brendon Egolf and Owen Fedorko went 2-3 at state finals, defeating Groves High School on the negative and Washtenaw International High School on the affirmative. The Wayne/Kaden/Brendon/ Owen team dropped rounds against Dow and West Bloomfield High Schools on the negative and Detroit Country Day School on the affirmative. This team’s combined high individual speaker points landed them a ninth place spot in the state. Novice debaters were supported at state finals by varsity team members Declan Akins, Jackson Burek and Paige Petrowski. Dr. Andrew Keller judged rounds for Petoskey at the competition. In advance of novice state finals, the Petoskey debate team competed at the 23rd annual Spartan Classic Debate Tournament at Michigan State University. Sixty-nine teams from throughout Michigan and beyond participated in this national qual-

ifier competition. Debating in the novice division, Alex Esterline/ Thomas Keller went 3-2, Anne Johnson/Olivia Tanner went 2-3 and Wayne Campbell/Owen Fedorko went 1-4. In the open division, Declan Akins/Grace Marshall and Jackson Burek/Paige Petrowski each went 2-3. Petoskey debaters will next compete at varsity state finals Friday and Saturday, Jan. 10-11, at Dexter High School. The Petoskey High School debate team, coached by Tina DeMoore, is supported by grants from the Tanton Family Fund and an anonymous fund at the Petoskey/Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation, the Emmet Charlevoix Bar Association, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Petoskey Lodge 282 and the Petoskey Education Foundation.

Dear Annie: After many years of using smokeless tobacco, I’d like to quit. Are there any effective measures one can take to beat this highly addictive habit? I use the kind of tobacco that comes in a can, and it goes wherever I go. It wakes me up in the morning demanding attention. I believe it is partially responsible Annie’s for my high Mailbox blood pressure. My dentist has concerns for my teeth and gums. I mentioned my tobacco use to my doctor, but he couldn’t give me a response that would be an effective way to quit. I see commercials on TV for a drug that helps smokers, but I don’t know whether it would be helpful for those of us who dip. I, and the many others with this problem, would appreciate any advice. — Not a Baseball Player Dear Not: Smokeless tobacco is also called chew, snuff, spit and oral tobacco, but it still can cause cancer, just like cigarettes, along with other health problems such as tooth loss and gum disease. While some nicotine replacement therapy (patches, lozenges, sprays) can be helpful, not all work for smokeless tobacco. Some people prefer alternative medicine (hypnosis, acupuncture, herbal treatments, etc.), although studies are inconclusive as to its effectiveness. The American Cancer Society offers a Guide to Quitting Smokeless Tobacco on its website (cancer.org) and assistance by phone at 1-800-227-2345. Here are additional resources: Nicotine Anonymous (nicotine-anonymous.org) at 1-877-879-6422; Kill the Can (killthecan.org); the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (cdc.gov/ tobacco) at 1-800-QUITNOW, and the National Cancer Institute (cancer. gov) at 1-800-4-CANCER, or smokefree.gov at 1-877448-7848.

fact, he earned his Eagle Scouts badge for Boy Scouts by building a new concession stand for the baseball field at Alanson with the help from volunteers and some very generous donations. After Sproule graduated he left for boot camp and thrived every second with each challenge they put before him. Since he’s been enlisted in the Marines he has been promoted twice, his first promotion was awarded to him before he even left for boot camp and that was for his Eagle Scouts project. Sproule is currently stationed at the Marine Corps Barracks in Washington, D.C., which is the oldest barracks in the country founded in 1801. He was selected for the Silent Drill Platoon.

Emily said she enjoys being a high school student this year because she is able to work and interact with students at different grade levels. She commented that the teachers and students are very helpful

which leads to her feeling confident in herself and her work. “Emily attempts any assignment, practice, group activity or lab with a positive attitude,” Whitley said. “She is very respectful of her fellow classmates and me. She cares about how she treats people. She is willing to work with anyone in class and has a good attitude about it. When I have had a sub in the past she has volunteered to help other students who need help understanding the work. Emily does a great job with her work but also in making sure that her peers are doing well. “ After high school, Emily is interested in working in the fashion industry and hopes to attend Pratt University/Art School in New York City.

Freshman Emily Daily is the Petoskey High School science department’s Student of the Month for December. Emily, daughter of Nicole Daily and Joe Hibbler, was nominated by Jamie Whitley, her physical science teacher. Emily has a twin sister, Anna, and a 3-year-old brother, Chase. Whitley cited Emily’s love of learning and respect for others among the reasons she was nominated. “Emily has a genuine love of learning and works hard to keep her grades up, but she truly finds science interesting and likes to understand how things work. Emily always works hard at being a student leader and does exceptionally well at completing all her work.”

Dads to diapers and more, myth-busting survey says Lindsey Tanner AP Medical Writer

CHICAGO — The detached dad, turning up his nose at diapering and too busy to bathe, dress and play with his kids, is mostly a myth, a big government survey suggests. Most American fathers say they are heavily involved in hands-on parenting, the researchers found. The nationally representative survey shows fathers’ involvement has increased slightly since the government first asked in 2002, coinciding with research since then that bolsters the benefits of handson fathering. The results are encouraging and important “because others have found the more involved dads are, the better the outcomes for their children,” said researcher Jo Jones of the National Center for Health Statistics, part of the Centers for Disease Control Prevention. She co-authored the report released Friday. More academic success, fewer behavior problems and healthier eating habits are just some of the ways fathers’ involvement has been linked with children’s well-being. “Times have changed,” said Robert Loftus, 34, of Yonkers, N.Y. He quit a six-figure sales job a year ago to care for his two young children while his wife works full time. “We’re trying to rethink our priorities and family seems to be the No. 1 priority whereas in the past maybe people were more focused on career.” The results build on volumes of research showing changes in the American family since the baby boom years and before, when women were mostly stay-at-home moms and dads were the major breadwinners. As those roles shifted, so did the view that moms are the only nurturers. University of Chicago sociologist Jennifer Bellamy, who also studies fathering, said some old stereotypes persist, “that dads are sort of the co-pilots in their families,” absent or less involved than moms. But she said the survey confirms that fathers “are quite involved in a variety of different and important ways.” The study involved nearly 4,000 fathers aged 15 to 44 who were interviewed in person between 2006 and 2010. One caveat: They self-reported their involvement, without input from their partners or others. Most men were married or living with a partner. Key findings among fathers living with children younger than 5: —9 in 10 bathed, diapered, helped them use the toilet or get dressed at least several times weekly. —Even higher numbers played with them and ate meals with them that often.

—Almost 2 out of 3 read to them at least several times weekly. Among dads living with kids aged 5-18: —More than 9 out of 10 ate meals with them at least several times weekly and talked with them about what happened during the kids’ day that often. —Almost 2 out of 3 helped with homework several times weekly. —About half took their kids to or from activities that often. Overall, almost 90 percent of dads said they thought they were doing at least a good job of fathering. The researchers noted that during the study years, 45 percent of U.S. men — 28 million — aged 15 to 44 had a biological child. About the same number had a biological, adopted or non-related child living with them or an adopted or biological child living elsewhere. S u r ve y q u e s t i o n s we r e based on whether dads were living with their biological or unrelated kids, or apart. Most lived with their kids. Not surprisingly, men who didn’t were less involved with parenting activities. Even so, several times weekly, at least 1 in 5 still managed to help bathe, diaper, dress, eat or play with their kids. Fathers of older children were generally less involved than those with kids younger than 5 but that’s at least partly due to the changing nature of parenting as children mature. The survey suggests black fathers may be more involved than whites or Hispanics with some activities, including homework, but Jones downplayed racial differences and said some were not statistically significant. Men with at least some college education were generally more involved with their kids than less educated fathers. The CDC did a similar survey in 2002 that showed slightly less father involvement. Previous CDC surveys relied only on mothers’ responses about family life so aren’t comparable. A national parenting survey by University of Maryland researchers found that in 2000, married U.S. fathers spent about two hours weekly interacting with their kids aged 18 and younger, more than double the time spent in 1965. Dr. David Hill, a Wilmington, N.C., pediatrician and author of “Dad to Dad: Parenting Like a Pro,” said the survey echoes what he’s seen among his patients’ fathers. Increasingly, fathers rather than mothers take their kids to the doctor, he said. Some “are anxious about changing a diaper,” he said, but the study offers reassuring evidence “that everybody’s doing this.”

insurance from A1 own accommodation — giving consumers an extra 10 days to pay January’s premiums. The Oct. 1 launch of the HealthCare.gov website became an embarrassment for the administration after problems with the online gateway to coverage froze out millions of potential customers. But the biggest political damage to the president has come from cancellations issued to at least 4 million people who had individual plans they purchased themselves. Those plans did not pass muster under the health care law, which generally requires more robust benefits. On Thursday, the administration estimated at less than 500,000 those who have not yet found other coverage in the wake of seeing their coverage canceled. Obama was roundly criticized for reneging on a longstanding promise that if you liked your plan, you would be able to keep it under his health care law. The president apologized, and then said insurers could extend those plans for one more year. Most state regulators followed Obama’s lead and gave insurance companies the additional latitude, but it’s

unclear whether the problem has been fully resolved. Although the website is now working more smoothly, there’s still a concern that technolog y problems may prevent some people who got cancellations from signing up for a new plan. Consumers have until Dec. 23 — Monday — to pick a plan if they want their coverage to take effect Jan. 1, thus avoiding a break in coverage. The industry says it will accept payment of the first month’s premiums until Jan. 10. Timely payment is required for the new plan to take effect. “There still may be a small number of consumers who are not able to renew their existing plans and are having difficulty finding an acceptable replacement,” Sebelius wrote Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., and several of his colleagues, adding: “These consumers should qualify for this temporary hardship exemption.” Insurers are concerned that healthy customers who potentially would have bought full coverage may now stay out of the market, leaving the companies with a group of patients in worse health overall.

stress from A1 the beginning stages of their recovery because society has made drinking so glamorous and they cannot seem to get away from it,” she said. “Consequently, they often isolate themselves to maintain their sobriety. It becomes not life as usual for them. They are more isolated. “Furthermore, I cannot tell you how many young couples come into my office these days asking me to assist them in eliminating alcohol completely from their lives. They say, ‘Our group of friends cannot seem to do anything without alcohol being involved. We can’t go to lunch or dinner without alcohol. We cannot get together in one another’s homes without alcohol. We cannot golf or boat without alcohol. We don’t want this lifestyle anymore.’ During the holidays this problem seems to become exacerbated.” Coming together within one’s family of origin is another holiday-season situation that can be stressful for some, Daunter noted. “We often say in psychology that if you want to see how much a person has grown, send them back home for a weekend!” she said. “For many this is a delightful time to gather together; for others it has many difficult points. So finances are by far not the only holiday stressor for many, although that is often the first issue many think of.” Daunter noted, “any stress, whether related to holidays or not, has health implications. Stress affects (body, mind and spirit). You cannot separate one from the other and you cannot affect one without affecting the other. Health issues can be anxiety, depression, cardiac issues, chronic pain ... we know that stress can manifest itself in multiple ways in a person, so the list can be endless.” Daunter and Berry both pointed to physical exercise and healthy eating patterns as ways to help control stress levels during the holidays. Berry noted that exercise doesn’t necessarily demand investments such as a gym membership,

Impacts for kids Sue Finley, a counselor at the Health Department of Northwest Michigan’s school-linked Hornet Health Center in Pellston, notes that children are among the people who can be affected by holiday-season stress. Families becoming busier with various activities, such as shopping, Christmas plays, trying to visit family members and fulfilling other responsibilities can have impacts for children, she noted. This can lead to children coming to school with less sleep and not as well-rested. In the classroom, Finley said altered schedules and a lack of sleep can bring a variety of effects, such as “more energy, that giggly, nonsense kind of energy,” a lack of focus and concentration or grumpiness that can lead to oppositional behaviors. To help alleviate some of the stress for children, Finley suggests spacing out the activities. Instead of traveling to other’s homes, she suggests parents invite them to their own, where children have more of a chance to stay involved and remain on their schedule. Parents can lower expectations and limit how much they take on around the holidays, Finley noted, adding that it’s important to include downtime or time to regroup for children. She encourages parents to check with their children and see how they are coping. and that following a workout video or stair-walking at home may be easy ways to meet the need. Keeping weight down can be a helpful part of the equation, Daunter noted, but “I certainly don’t want to say don’t eat the goodies of the holidays because that is such a special part of this season, and ‘breaking bread’ together with friends is a cherished tradition at this time especially.” Keeping holiday obligations at a manageable level can help in alleviating holiday stress. Professionals say this can involve giving yourself permission to say no to impossible demands. “Practice in front of a mirror if you have to until you feel comfortable hearing yourself saying, ‘No!’” Daunter said. “I happen to love the holiday season in December and that is because I learned to manage it when I was in my 30s. We provide a gift only for our immediate family, which consists of our children and their

children. We cherish doing this and then get to enjoy all the holiday festivities that raise our spirits. We are discriminating in terms of which activities we take in.” Berry noted that adequate sleep can help in managing stress. Rather than dwelling on past difficulties or future uncertainties, she said a focus on the present moment can aid in managing stress levels. “Stay in your moment as much as you can,” Berry said. “Be mindful that every moment that’s good creates the next moment.” Enjoyable activities, such as listening to one’s favorite music or watching a humorous movie or YouTube video, can help provide some escape from feelings of stress, she added. “We don’t want to forget the value of laughter,” she said. Daunter sees meditation as a way to counteract stress, noting that “it quickly puts life in perspective.”

Grief from A1 “There was a period of time when we would sit and look at each other, and think she was just away at college,” said Behling. “Part of that task of grieving was coming full circle and being able to come to a place of saying, ‘She is really gone.’” Then, he said, experiencing the pain attached to loss is the second task. Third is adjusting to your new, changed environment, and fourth is trying to reinvest in new relationships. But it’s never that neat, said Behling — which is why time with each step is important. “Grief can get complicated,” he said. “If you try to suppress grief, it can get worked out in other ways, like a short temper, or overreacting to things I had never overreacted to before.” Behling as well as Petoskeybased psychologist Brenda Hough, Ph.D., say that allowing yourself to express that grief is important — it takes energy to suppress feelings of sadness which can take both a physical and emotional toll on your body. “Grief is physical,” said David Johnson, bereavement coordinator and social worker for Hospice of Little Traverse Bay. “You’re sleepy, you’re moody, your body hurts.” Johnson said that individuals who are caregivers for loved ones who have died may simply have more time to focus on their own physical troubles, which could bring aches and pain to the forefront. “Grieving is actually a physical process as well an emotional process,” said Hough. “When people are really struggling, they really need to make sure they take care of themselves.” When it comes to this time of year, that may mean cutting down on parties or changing some traditions. “Don’t try to pretend that the holidays are the same as they have been every other year,” said Hough. Hough emphasizes that bereavement can come in many forms: the loss of a job, the loss of a loved one and divorce. Johnson leads five grief support groups throughout the

If you’re struggling with grief ... Three area health care professionals — David Behling with Hospice of Northwest Michigan, David Johnson with Hospice of Little Traverse Bay and Petoskey-based psychologist Brenda Hough — offer advice to people struggling with grief at the holidays. — Let yourself grieve, advises Hough. — If you want to, do something very different for the first Christmas after a loss. Spend the holiday at a different family member’s house or outside your typical environment. — Find a way to volunteer or involve yourself in something the loved one might have appreciated, said Hough. Behling said his sons have sponsored families for Christmas for years in honor of their sister’s memory. — Journaling about what you’re feeling can be helpful, said Johnson. — Take care to avoid saying negative things in front of your children in the case of divorce, said Hough. — Remember to support people going through the grieving process, said Behling. Even something as simple as expressing sorrow for a person’s loss and talking about a memory of that person can help.

year, including ones starting in October, November and December which focus on handling the holidays. Each health care professional emphasized taking a lower key approach to festivities. “During the holidays, it just gets too overwhelming. Maybe, in the past, a person has had 50 people at their house for dinner,” said Johnson. “Maybe this year, because they have lost a loved one, they don’t want to do that again — or at least, not yet.” Suspending a tradition or starting a new one can help a bereaved person through the holidays. “There are a lot of expectations that people place upon themselves, or that other people place upon them. They might think, ‘Gee, I have to do the same thing the same way we’ve always done it,’” said Behling. “What we have tried to encourage people to do is that it’s also OK to do things differently.” That doesn’t mean, he said, doing a tradition differently each year for the rest of your life, but skipping a particularly evocative part of the season’s tradition could be an option.

By contrast, keeping someone’s memory alive through a new tradition may also help ease holiday grief. Behling said it’s important to continue to remember the person you have lost. Hough suggests transferring a particular holiday tradition to a different member of the family. “Maybe Grandpa always made the brussels sprouts. Maybe teach the 10-year-old how to make Grandpa’s special brussels sprouts,” said Hough. Behling and his family light an angel candle in their daughter’s memory. “We place her at the table with us, and we talk about her and we remember her,” said Behling. “As opposed to trying to get through the holidays without thinking about it, we work at bringing that up.” But Behling, Johnson and Hough reiterated that the bereaved person take the holidays at his or her own pace. “I never try to tell people what to do. That’s going to be a brick wall that’s going up,” said Johnson. “It’s a lot of trial and error. There’s no right or wrong way of grieving.”

No. 13 Oklahoma State beats Michigan State, 63-57

Stutzman, Belding lead Rayders past Grayling

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Tiffany Bias hit all of her free throws in the final seconds and No. 13 Oklahoma State held off Michigan State to win 63-57 on Thursday in the Puerto Rico Classic. Michigan State called a timeout with 43 seconds remaining after trailing 57-54. The Spartans grabbed their own rebound, but turned the ball over after being called for travelling. Bias shot 4 of 4 from the free throw line in the remaining seconds, and Oklahoma State (9-0) clinched the win after rallying back from a five-point deficit (42-37) with 11:05 to play. The Spartans (6-5) led by three points at the half after holding Oklahoma State to just 24.2 percent shooting. Oklahoma State went 13 minutes without a field goal before going on a 7-0 run with 3:57 left before the break. Michigan State will face Georgetown today, Friday, and Oklahoma State will play Georgia Tech on Saturday.

Kobe Bryant expected to miss six weeks with injured knee LOS ANGELES — Kobe Bryant is expected to miss about six weeks with an injured left knee, dealing the second major injury setback of the year to the Los Angeles Lakers’ superstar guard. An MRI exam on Thursday revealed Bryant has a fracture in his lateral tibial plateau — the top of his shinbone near his knee. Bryant made his season debut with the Lakers Dec. 8 after nearly eight months away while recovering from a torn Achilles tendon. He apparently was hurt again Tuesday night in Memphis while playing his fourth game in five nights. After playing six games in 10 days, the fourth-leading scorer in NBA history is out again until February or longer — and the Lakers’ already miserable run of injuries got even uglier.

Hornets pick up first win Steve Foley

NEW YORK — Outfielder Carlos Beltran and the New York Yankees have finalized a $45 million, three-year contract. The agreement, reached Dec. 6, was announced by the team Thursday. The eight-time AllStar is to be introduced at a Yankee Stadium news conference Friday. The 36-year-old played for the Mets from 2005-11, when he was dealt to San Francisco. He signed a $26 million, two-year contract with St. Louis before the 2012 season and reached the World Series for the first time this year. Slowed by knee injuries, Beltran has retained a potent bat — especially in October. He hit .296 with 24 homers and 84 RBIs for the Cardinals this year and added two homers and 15 RBIs in the postseason. Beltran injured ribs in the World Series opener when he banged into Fenway Park’s right-fight fence while robbing Boston’s David Ortiz of a grand slam.

Red Wings end six-game skid with 3-2 overtime win over Flames

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Red Wings were in desperate need of a win and two veteran stars helped delivered it. Daniel Alfredsson scored two goals, including a powerplay score at 1:03 of overtime and the Red Wings earned a 3-2 win over the Calgary Flames on Thursday night. The win snapped Detroit’s six-game losing streak (0-4-2) and five-game home losing streak. “We were hanging in, playing some good hockey, and then all of a sudden we’re having some lapses where we give the other team way too many chances,” Alfredsson said. “We did that some today, too, but overall we grinded.”

Alfredsson also had an assist and was set up for the winner by Pavel Datsyuk, who had three assists. Datsyuk threaded a cross-ice pass to Alfredsson, who rifled in a one-time slap shot from the inside edge of the left circle for his ninth goal of the season. Datsyuk drew the penalty on T.J. Brodie, who hooked Datsyuk as he tried to split the defense deep in the Calgary zone with 42 seconds left. Alfredsson also got his 700th assist earlier in the game. Detroit is without eight regulars due to injury. Joakim Andersson also scored for Detroit, defense-

man Niklas Kronwall added two assists and goaltender Jonas Gustavsson made 20 saves. Mikael Backlund and Mark Giordano scored for Calgary. Mike Cammalleri had two assists and goalie Karri Ramo stopped 35 shots. “They had a little desperation and hunger in their game down the stretch,” Cammalleri said. Calgary coach Bob Hartley disagreed with the penalty call on Brodie. “I didn’t think it was a call,” Hartley said. “I thought it was a hockey play. It was stick to stick.” Alfredsson opened the scoring just 26 seconds into the game when he put in a

loose puck from the slot. Backlund tied it at 5:11 with his fifth goal. He flipped in the puck after it caromed off the end boards. Andersson gave the Red Wings a 2-1 lead at 11:38 of the second when Alfredsson’s shot deflected in off his skate. It was Andersson’s fifth goal. It was Alfredsson’s 700th career assist. Giordano’s power-play goal tied it at 2 with 4:27 left in the second period. He beat Gustavsson with a shot from the high slot just after a two-man Flames’ advantage ended. NOTE: Red Wings captain and C Henrik Zetterberg, who is on the long-term injured reserve due to a her-

The game was the league opener for both schools, as the Comets jumped out to a commanding 45-18 halftime lead. Mackinaw City also won the JV game, 59-15.

All football fans know about the 12th Man, because that’s them – the fans, the 12th man on the field giving the home team an advantage. But if you’re any team besides Texas A&M, you’d better be prepared to negotiate, as the Seattle Seahawks found out. A&M originated the 12th Man back in the 1920s and actually trademarked the phrase in 1990. The Seahawks had to pay A&M and publicly acknowledge ownership of the phrase before hoisting a giant sign at their stadium that reads, “Seattle: Home of the 12th Man.” Need more evidence that the NFL has become a pass-first league? Almost halfway through the 2013 season, players had posted games of at least 100 yards rushing only 29 times, projecting to 77 such performances for the season. In 2012, there were 123 games in which a back gained at least 100 yards. More evidence? On 3rd-and-2 or 4th-and-2 or less, teams now run the ball only slightly more than half the time, the lowest rate on record, and the success rate running in those situations is less than 60%, also a low mark. Contrary to popular belief, the jock strap isn’t so named because it’s worn by jocks. When the bicycle was invented in the mid-19th Century, it was called the boneshaker because, with wooden wheels and seats, it was brutal for men to ride on cobblestone streets. In 1874 a man named Charles F. Bennett invented what he called the “bike web” to provide padding for what were then known as “bicycle jockeys.” The Bike Web jockey strap was a hit among all athletes, and quickly became known as the jock strap for short.

back Reggie Bush and given Stafford time to throw to Calvin Johnson. Stafford will shoulder a lot of the blame if Detroit fails to make the playoffs for the 13th time in 14 seasons. “A lot of that falls not just on him, but on all of us,” Johnson said.

SCALDING SEAT

Schwartz started the season on the hot seat and it might be scalding after another collapse. The Lions lost their last eight games last year after having a .500 record midway through his fourth season. Schwartz seemed to cool off his seat last month with a 6-3 record that set up the franchise to win its first division title since 1993 and to earn a spot in the playoffs for just the second time this century. Losing four of five has likely hurt his job security. Bush said the Lions lack discipline, but insisted that’s not Schwartz’s fault. “It’s not a coaches’ thing, it’s a players’ thing,” Bush said. Coughlin has been through a lot in 18 seasons as an NFL head coach, winning

Coughlin coached the Jaguars when they were an expansion team and was fired in 2002 after three straight losing seasons and two trips to AFC championship games. Coughlin began leading the Giants in 2004, went on to win two Super Bowls. The Giants, though, will not be in the playoffs for the fourth time in five years. “You have to realize that no one individual loses games,” Coughlin said. “Blame it on the head coach, which is usually the way it is.”

RUN-STUFFING DEFENSE

If the Giants have anything to be proud of, it is how well they have usually done against the run.

Seattle’s Marshawn Lynch ran for fewer than 3 yards a carry and finished with just 47 yards last week. Philadelphia’s LeSean McCoy easily leads the NFL in rushing, but two of the four times he has been held to fewer than 50 yards was against New York.

MISSING THE MARK

Running for 1,000 yards isn’t the milestone it used to be in the NFL, but it has been an elusive benchmark in Detroit. Kevin Jones ran for 1,133 yards in 2004 as a Lions rookie, and the franchise hasn’t had a 1,000-yard rusher since in what is the longest active drought in the league. Bush should be able to snap the streak with 940 yards rushing and two games remaining.

ADVANTAGE DETROIT

The Lions’ defensive line has a shot to be a force at Ford Field against a shaky line. Giants tackles Will Beatty and Justin Pugh are the two offensive linemen who have started every game at the same position this year.

Are we playing the Super Bowl or‘Hunger Games?’

or all the dire predictions making the rounds, you’d think they were playing “The Hunger Games” at MetLife Stadium on Feb. 2 instead of the Super Bowl. “Cold or snowy is one thing,” San Francisco 49er Phil Dawson said, “but if it’s a blizzard it could be bad. ...That would make things crazy. I’m not sure how that would work.” Keep in mind Dawson is a kicker. And to be fair, scratch a half-dozen other players and NFL owners — who have the final say on Super Bowl sites — and Jim you’ll get difLitke fering opinions about the wisdom of playing the season’s biggest game in the elements. Plenty grew up playing or watching the game that way and still love to; others were only too happy to get in out of the cold and stay there. But the players and owners all agree with something Colts lineman Cory Redding said recently about trading a few uncomfortable hours outside for a shot at the title. “Snow, wind, freezing rain, it doesn’t matter,” Redding said. “It just makes the confetti feel that much better.” The guys that employ them feel just as strongly, even though all but one or two of the 32 owners will be ensconced in sky boxes that night instead of down on the field. But another handful or so will be paying even closer attention than usual, and not just to the game, but to the weeklong buildup. Like co-hosts John Mara of the Giants and Woody Johnson of the Jets, those owners have franchises with outdoor stadiums in cold-weather towns. And if this Super Bowl makes it

big in New York, then the reasoning goes that the big game can make it anywhere. New England, Philadelphia, Washington, Tennessee, Chicago, Kansas City, Denver — take your pick. Owners at those sites, and several others, have broached the subject before and especially lately, though none has been required thus far to put any money or resources where his mouth is — and won’t until the bidding process for the 2019 Super Bowl begins late next summer. After New York, the next three Super Bowls are set for Phoenix (2015), Santa Clara, Calif. (2016; the 50th anniversary of the Superpalooza), and Houston (2017). The 2018 field has already been narrowed to Indianapolis, Minneapolis and perennial favorite New Orleans. All three finalists have — or in the case of Minneapolis, will have — a domed stadium. That winner will be announced in May. By then, serious ownership contenders for 2019 will have begun raising cash from civic, business and community groups and helped formed bid committees. It’s not a small commitment. After winning the 2014 game, in a vote taken at the 2010 NFL owners meetings, the host New York-New Jersey committee raised $70 million to cover the cost of staging the event. Their final bill will have to cover everything from erecting a 60-foot-tall toboggan slide in Times Square to a series of contingency plans on clearing snow and delivering upwards of 80,000 fans to MetLife Stadium on game day. Other than coming up with the cash and an organizational plan, the bar for entering the Super Bowl lottery is low. A bid city must have 29,000 hotel rooms within

“Everybody says, ‘What if it snows?’ We’ll take the snow off the field and we’ll play the game. The championship game should be around the league.” Pat Bowlen Denver Broncos owner an hour’s drive of the stadium (sorry, Green Bay) and be able to seat upwards of 68,000 fans on game day. It also has to provide two NFLcaliber practice facilities for the teams, buildings large enough to house a media center and the “NFL Experience” — essentially a weeklong fan convention — and range of sponsor and corporate hospitality gatherings. Even towns where the field gets chewed up during the season can confidently bid, since NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the league has arranged to bring in an entirely new playing surface for the big game in the past. “At the end of the day, the considerations are the same as they would be for a game in a warm climate or indoors,” McCarthy added. “What did the product on the field look like? Did the logistics work to the benefit of everybody? How was the fan experience? How did it come across on TV? How were the sponsors treated? “This is the pinnacle of our game. It’s the one stage that everybody is looking at.” For handicapping purposes, Redskins owner Daniel Snyder put down the first marker among his cold-weather counterparts during a break in those 2010 meetings. Just before he

and fellow owners agreed to waive the so-called “50-degree rule” to pave the way for a successful New YorkNew Jersey bid — previously, hosting cities required an average temperature of 50 or above during the week of the game — Snyder emerged from a midmorning session and said, “I think Washington should get one, no matter what. It is the nation’s capital.” More than three years later, Snyder is part of a growing chorus of likeminded owners. But until they assess the final product in New York, all those pledges of support are only conditional. “Everybody says, ‘What if it snows?’ We’ll take the snow off the field,” Denver owner Pat Bowlen said, “and we’ll play the game. ... The championship game should be played around the league. Everybody should have an opportunity to have it.” “This is where it all started. Right here,” New England owner Robert Kraft said, referring to the region where football first took hold in the United States. “We would love one day to hold it here if it’s a good experience there.” “I will, yes,” Philadelphia owner Jeff Lurie said about entering a bid back in March. “I will, if it’s a success. New York will help us.” Meanwhile in Chicago, hewing to its reputation as a deal-making town, the mayor has been lobbying on behalf of the Bears behind closed doors. Rahm Emanuel made his case to commissioner Roger Goodell last June in a conversation “about several things that would allow Chicago and the NFL to expand their already wonderful relationship,” according to a mayoral spokesman. Whether any of those cities, or more stealthy

contenders like Tennessee, Carolina and Seattle, make it into the final mix remains to be seen. In the 47 Super Bowls spread across 15 different venues so far, no hosting team has ever made it to the big game. But two came close: the then-Los Angeles Rams lost the 1979 game played just down the road at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena; five years later, the 49ers ventured just 30 miles from home to play at Stanford Stadium. Based strictly on the numbers, the cold-weather franchise most likely to break that curse would be the Patriots. Using the 32-degree benchmark, New England is an NFL-best 23-6 (a winning percentage of 79 percent) in such games. Among teams with at least 10 games in those conditions, it’s closest pursuer is Philadelphia (10-4), followed by Cincinnati (11-5), Green Bay (28-13-1) and Chicago (14-7). Five teams — St. Louis, Arizona, San Francisco, New Orleans and Detroit — haven’t won even once in the cold over that same span. Not that any or all of them wouldn’t welcome the chance to try their luck in 2019. “If they have it in Alaska, if that’s where they want to play the Super Bowl, I want to get my team there. That’s how I look at it,” Buffalo coach Doug Marrone said. “I don’t see it anyway else because either I’m there playing it, or I’m at home feeling pretty ...” and here Marrone paused to glance at Bills spokesman Scott Berchtold. “Can I say the word I want to say?” he began. “Lousy?” suggested Berchtold. “Lousy,” Marrone repeated. “OK.”

Olympics

Figure skating champion Boitano named to U.S. delegation for Sochi Nancy Armour AP National Writer

Olympic figure skating champion Brian Boitano came out Thursday, two days after he was named to the U.S. delegation for Sochi along with openly gay athletes Billie Jean King and Caitlin Cahow. The 1988 gold medalist had always kept his personal life private, saying in a statement that “being gay is just one part of who I am.” But President Barack Obama’s decision to include openly gay athletes

in the delegation for the opening and closing ceremonies — and not send high-ranking officials — was widely seen as a message to Russia about its treatment of gays and lesbians. “First and foremost I am an American athlete and I am proud to live in a country that encourages diversity, openness and tolerance,” Boitano said in his statement. “As an athlete, I hope we can remain focused on the Olympic spirit which celebrates achievement in sport by peoples of all

nations.” Russia has come under fierce criticism for passing national laws banning “gay propaganda,” and some suggested the United States should boycott the Sochi Olympics in protest. Obama rejected that idea earlier this year, saying a stronger statement could be made by “gay and lesbian athletes bringing home the gold or silver or bronze.” But his choices for the U.S. delegation left little doubt about Obama’s disapproval of the new Russian law.

For the first time since 2000, the U.S. will not send a president, former president, first lady or vice president to the Olympics. This year’s group is led by former Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, and others in the delegation include U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, deputy Secretary of State William Burns and presidential adviser Rob Nabors. Of the five athletes in the delegation, three — Boitano, King and Cahow — are openly gay. Cahow said Boitano’s

decision to keep his sexual orientation private until now was his to make, just as it was her choice to acknowledge hers publicly. “I completely respect that,” Cahow told The Associated Press after learning of Boitano’s statement. “I think each individual has a right to define who they are. That’s what autonomy is all about. “I think he and I would agree that our goal is to someday live in a world where these classifications aren’t important.”

NFL

Stafford’s slump has led to Lions slipping Larry Lage AP Sports Writer

ALLEN PARK — Matthew Stafford put the football where only Brandon Pettigrew could catch it, lofting it over a linebacker to the tight end right in front of a defensive back. Stafford’s perfect pass put him in a position to throw a go-ahead touchdown for the Detroit Lions against Baltimore. All was well — for a moment. Detroit’s defense failed to stop the Ravens from setting up Justin Tucker for a sixth field goal and Stafford threw his third interception of the game on his next snap to seal an 18-16 setback Sunday. Staf ford has been in a slump and so have the Lions. He has 12 turnovers over the last five games as Detroit has dropped from first to third place in the NFC North. Instead of being in control of their postseason fate, the Lions have to beat the New York Giants at home and Minnesota on the road while hoping Chicago and Green Bay both lose at least one game to rally for a spot in the playoffs. “You have to move forward from it and go try to win the next two,” Stafford said Sunday. Stafford wasn’t available for interviews Wednesday — his weekly session with reporters was pushed to Friday — but his backup, Shaun Hill, and running back Reggie Bush were willing to defend the quarterback. “When you play this position, you get more credit than you deserve when things go well and more blame than you should when you don’t,” Hill said. “People have a lot of opinions when they’re watching, but it’s impossible to explain what it’s like to be an NFL quarterback. It would be cool if someone could come out with something to see what a quarterback actually sees on a field.” Coach Jim Schwartz tried to deflect criticism of the turnover-prone Stafford on Tuesday toward his teammates, saying they could all do more to help him. The next day, Bush agreed. “Some of things you guys don’t see could be a receiver that runs the wrong route or we didn’t pick up a blitz, he gets hit in the back and the ball gets tipped in the air,” he said. “It’s not just all on Stafford and we know that as an offense and that’s why we don’t put all the blame on him.” Stafford, though, is taking the brunt of the blame for Detroit going from 6-3 and being in sole possession of first place after beating the Bears on Nov. 10 to 7-7 and facing the possibility of not making the playoffs even if it closes the regular season with two wins. He has an NFL-high 12 turnovers since Week 11 — three more than Eli Manning of the New York Giants and Geno Smith of the New York Jets — according to STATS. Manning has known Stafford since he attended his family’s passing camp while attending Georgia. Manning remembers thinking Stafford’s arm strength was impressive and expected him to have a bright future. Manning, the No. 1 pick overall in 2004, said he understands what Stafford, selected first overall five years later, is going through. “With the quarterback position there is a special fraternity and you do root for guys,” Manning said. Schwartz is pulling for Stafford perhaps as much as anyone because the coach might need the QB to lead the team to two straight victories to help him his job. “He’s our quarterback and he’s going to play well for us,” Schwartz said. “We’re one game down with two to play. There are a lot of things that can happen over these next two weeks and Matt’s a big part of our ability to be successful.”

Michigan, Florida to open 2017 season in Arlington

GAINSVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida and Michigan will open the 2017 season in the Cowboys Classic in Arlington, Texas. The prime-time game is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 2. It will be Florida’s first regular-season, non-conference game outside the Sunshine State since the Gators lost at Syracuse in 1991. “You don’t get these opportunities very often,” Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley said. “Our schedule has been pretty consistent through the years. We were presented this opportunity and just thought it was something that our fans would embrace, our program would embrace. It would give us great national visibility. Obviously, a very difficult ballgame against a storied program — that excites us.” Michigan will be the WHO: away Michigan, 7-5, team; vs. Kansas Florida the home State, 7-5, in team. Buffalo Wild Game Wings Bowl officials WHEN: 10:15 and rep.m. Saturday, play crew will Dec. 28 come TV: ESPN from the RADIO: Big 12 WMBN-AM Confer1340; WMKTence. Each AM 1270, school 102.3 FM will receive 25,000 tickets for the neutralsite game at AT&T Stadium, home to the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys. The $1.2 billion stadium opened in 2009. It already hosted the Super Bowl and is scheduled for the 2014 NCAA men’s Final Four and the first college football national championship under the new playoff format in January 2015. Michigan played in 2012 Cowboys Classic, losing 4114 to Alabama. “We are excited to make a return trip to Dallas for the Cowboys Classic against Florida,” Michigan coach Brady Hoke said. “This is a great way to reach our fan base in the south and to continue to expand our recruiting efforts in the state of Texas. Our goal is to have as many Michigan fans at the game as possible.” This will be the third meeting between Michigan and Florida. Both previous matchups came in bowl games. Michigan won both: a 38-30 victory in the 2003 Outback Bowl and a 41-35 victory in the 2008 Capital One Bowl. Florida has struggled to fill stands for home games the last few years, especially in games against non-conference opponents aside from Florida State. So moving a home date to a neutral-site venue — and guaranteeing a sellout and a significant payout — made sense financially. “This is a great opportunity to expose the University of Florida nationally, playing one of the greatest programs in the history of college football,” Foley said. “I think a tremendous trip for our fans. We just haven’t done much of this, certainly as long as I’ve been athletic director. I think there are a lot of positives that come out of it.”

(231) 439-9355 - cwilliams@petoskeynews.com

is the season of adjustment from Christmas eve through New Year’s Day. For most families the holidays means goodbye to a normal routine. Life revs up for the big day or two and then what? Perhaps a lot of time to fill somehow. And for many it can also mean some extra people to take into consideration. What are we to do with all that time and energy now that the extended family has gathered for the holidays? The extra time together doesn’t have to decline into hours of boredom for the family. There are plenty of affordable options here in the frozen north. Recently some local residents shared their ideas which spring from what they have experienced with their own families and friends. “Well we just go outside and play! Find a tall hill and go sledding. Or play outside in the snow, especially with my grandkids from North Carolina. We like to have a fire in my Franklin wood stove and, roast marshmallows and do s’mores for something fun to do,” said Penny Burns who lives within the city of Harbor Springs. She added that when her children were teenagers, “My kids loved to build forts outside when the snow was packy enough and they were really creative with them. Sometimes they would have secret passages in them and the little kids would get stuck in them and not be able to find their way out.” “Of course we used to love to cross country ski and that sort of thing. Inside we liked to play board games,” Burns added. Talking about present family time she noted, “Grandpa (Gerry Burns) has taught all the grandkids how to play cribbage. Not just the teenagers, but the 7-year-olds too. And it’s good for them too. I try to discourage the technology and stuff. Sometimes we color pictures and play inside. But technology

A few more activities to try 1. Put up a bird feeder or a suet block. Then watch and identify the birds together. 2. Visit a shoreline of a lake or river to look for animal tracks and identify them together. 3. Cozy up together and read good book. If there is one you enjoyed as a child read that one again. 4. Go visit a neighbor. Especially if you have one who doesn’t have a lot of family and friends surrounding them. 5. Enjoy a horse and wagon or sleigh ride available at both of Boyne’s resorts and at Bay View Inn of Petoskey. 6. Play disc golf in the winter at Kiwanis Park in Harbor Springs 7. View the Christmas lights on homes and businesses. In East Jordan the tourist park is aglow through the end of the year courtesy of a variety of groups and individuals. The Mackinac Bridge is a beautiful sight lit up for Christmas.

The sledding hill at the Petoskey Winter Sports Park is usually a good time during the holiday break.

8. Give a gift of service to a group or an individual in need. This can be as simple as quietly shoveling a walk without waiting for a thank you or you may contact an organization in the area to find out what you can volunteer to do. 9. Record an elderly friend or relative telling stories. You can brainstorm questions to get the storytelling started as a group. 10. Write thank you cards and let the kids draw pictures to include in the envelope.

is starting to irritate me because I don’t think they are interacting with the rest of the family.” Lorelee Zook lives a few miles north of Harbor Springs on a hilltop farm near Stutsmanville. “Usually the fun thing we do is go out and go sledding. At night we usually play board games at home, cards, or Monopoly because you have extra family around. Usually we have cousins or someone coming up from downstate.” She and her husband, Nelson, with young son and a frequently changing roster of young foster

children, enjoy horseback riding. Cold weather can make it tricky to ride horses in the winter months but Zook said, “We do anyway, the joys of having indoor arenas. Every now and then it is fun to get on a horse and go traipsing through the woods.” Then she added,” No we don’t have sleighs but it is fun when you do have one.” “Of course it is always fun to have lots of holiday food, put in a Christmas movie and pop popcorn over a fire,” she continued. “We tend to keep our holidays pretty simple.

With travel being so expensive it’s just nice to stay home instead of just spending all that money.” The Beck family lives on the farm where Amy Beck spent her childhood near Petoskey. Asked how they spend the bonus time together during the Christmas season Beck said they, “Play family games, go sledding and just enjoy each other more.” She said their favorite board games are Monopoly, Pictionary and Apples to Apples. Because they live in the country they can go sledding at home but she prefers not to. “Yes, we go to the Winter Sports Park. I’m uneasy about letting the kids sled here because of the cattle right near the hill. I did it when I was a kid and enjoyed it but I’m a parent now and it’s different to be the parent,” explained Beck. She said when they aren’t visiting the park in Petoskey, “We go to my parents’ house and play cards, games and just hang out.” “I like taking my grandkids to the Winter Sports Park, or go outside sledding,” said Petoskey resident Jeff Knight. He noted that it would be nice for families to be able to go skiing together and he likes to get outside

in the snow and enjoy it even though he doesn’t cross country ski. Knight explained that when the weather isn’t good for playing in the snow they “do board games with the kids” and took a quick peek at the game shelf to note that their favorites are Cranium, Taboo and Rumicube. He added that they, “throw out a jigsaw puzzle and people will work on that for a while if that is a 1,000 piece one or something like that. But then, when you start having the young grandkids it just doesn’t work out. It’s not like it was when it was all adults playing.“ Knight also shared that a friend of his with several adult children has a complex way of enjoying holiday vacations with his family. When they all come home they draw names to make up teams and have family game tournaments which get really complex! Knight remembers when he was in the Air Force he played Risk with the guys “because that is a game which takes a long time to play.” The airmen would be on alert and waiting in case they had to go out on a call so there was usually plenty of time to play the Chesslike game of Risk with multiple players.

Seneca Falls, NY, claims link to ‘Wonderful Life’ Michael Hill Associated Press

SENECA FALLS, N.Y. — Is this where George Bailey lived his wonderful life? Folks in this quaint upstate New York town think so. Or more precisely, they say Bailey’s make-believe hometown of Bedford Falls in “It’s a Wonderful Life” — including the main street and the steel truss bridge — was heavily inspired by Seneca Falls. This cannot be proven, and director Frank Capra never confirmed such a connection. But that hasn’t stopped locals from celebrating the beloved movie every December, complete with actors dressed as Clarence the Angel and mean old Mr. Potter parading down a main street gussied up to look like Bedford Falls. “Capra always said Bedford Falls represented little slices of small towns that he had visited all across America. We’re not in a position to dispute that,” said Francis Caraccilo, a trustee for the Seneca Falls It’s a Wonderful Life Museum. “We just think we’re a bigger slice.” Capra’s 1946 film stars Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey, a small-town, frustrated banker who realizes his life’s value after Clarence shows him what would become of Bedford Falls if George had never been born. The homey town falls into the clutches of the greedy slumlord Potter, and his Pottersville becomes a city of sin, brimming with sleazy nightclubs, burlesque halls, pawn shops and neon lights. If Bedford Falls (the nice one, not the naughty one) really was modeled after Seneca Falls, Capra never let on, and died in 1991. But many in this town of 9,000 say they have a strong circumstantial case. Seneca Falls has a nice broad main street like Bedford Falls’, and there’s a bridge with a plaque dedicated to a man who jumped

Sunday

from the span to save a suicidal woman in 1917 — an act echoed in the film. Karolyn Grimes, who played George’s daughter Zuzu in the movie and is a festival regular, said Seneca Falls’ similarities are so striking she blurted out “It’s Bedford Falls!” during her first visit. The film also is loaded with references to nearby upstate cities. The bank examiner wants to get back to his family in Elmira for Christmas. George’s wealthy friend Sam Wainwright talks of building a factory outside of Rochester, and his brother is offered a job in Buffalo. Bedford Falls also has a Genesee Street. The word “genesee” is from the local Iroquois and is closely associated with the Finger Lakes region that includes Seneca Falls. And while there’s no slam-dunk proof that Capra ever set foot in Seneca Falls, there is the haircut story. Local barber Tommy Bellissima claimed he cut Capra’s hair in 1945. Bellissima, who died in 2011, didn’t initially know the customer he chatted with was famous, but the surname Capra stuck in his head because it means “goat” in Italian. The story is that Capra had been on

his way to visit an aunt nearby. M ay b e f i t t i n g fo r a Christmas story, the contention that Seneca Falls is the real Bedford Falls comes down to belief. “There just is no evidence to support it, but God bless them,” said Jeanine Basinger, curator of the Frank Capra Archive at Wesleyan University and author of “The It’s a Wonderful Life Book.” Basinger said Capra was a meticulous record keeper, yet she has never come across the link in Capra’s records, his diary entries or script notes — not to mention the many conversations she had with Capra over years. “I hate being in the role of Mr. Potter. I’m sorry, everybody. I wish I could say: ‘Eureka! And here it is!’ But the fact is there is absolutely no evidence to confirm this,” Basinger said. It’s also possible that Capra might have known of Bedford Hills, a hamlet in the moneyed bedroom community of Bedford (think Sam Wainwright) north of New York City. But Evelyne Ryan, executive director of the Bedford Historical Society, said that the place is not similar to Bedford Falls and that a case has never been seriously made.

Leave an impression

here are many parts of a meal that can leave an indelible mark on the lucky diner. The experience ends up being more than the sum of its parts and usually sets the bar for our next encounters. I have a few thoughts on how the perfect meal comes together and how a cook or restaurant can reach that level on a more consistent basis. Preconceived notions are a dangerous thing. I find that if I research a restaurant prior to visiting there for a meal, I am usually disappointed. Checking out their website, pouring over reviews and stalking their facebook page is a sure way to build up your expectations to unmatchable heights. It’s like telling someone that they have a surprise coming, or a party in their favor. A person begins to think of all the wonderful gifts and pleasantries that will be laid upon them and they think nothing of the negatives that may happen. A snarky server, undercooked chicken, dirty silverware or an unruly 2-year-old at your own family table. These are all just as likely as having a wonderful and awe inspiring meal, but if you expect them to happen, you will be doubly let down when they fail to meet your standards. My wife, being a lover of true surprises, never tells me what she is cooking for dinner. I usually have no idea what it is going to be unless I can deduce it from the sounds and smells emanating from the kitchen while my son attempts to distract me. She doesn’t even

Bradford Lewis give us the opportunity to shoot down her dinner ideas. In the end, her reward is either true and honest approval or dislike. No human is really as tough as they think they are. We are all slaves to our senses and perceptions, accept this and you can begin to identify for yourself the variables that make a great dining experience. Do you enjoy quiet, intimate meals? Then you probably shouldn’t go to the most popular restaurant in town on a Friday night and sit at the bar. Starting a meal in an environment that you don’t approve of or in a part of town you don’t feel safe in starts your meal off on the wrong foot. You’re already anxious and stressed, how will that Potato and Fennel soup taste when you are worried about your purse being stolen from underneath you? Setting yourself up for success is one of the most important factors in planning a meal. Don’t eat at a person’s house if you don’t like their cooking, and don’t go to restaurants just because you always go there unless you are always

happy with their product and their environment. One of the factors I use to quantify my post-dining contentedness is the bill. Whether it was a $5 meal or a $300 meal, I want to receive the check and put my card on it with a smile on my face. I don’t judge by the quantity of food served or if it was a exciting meal. I think about whether or not what I ordered was what I expected and whether it pleased me or not. If a dish is really small, it has to be really good. The whole ambience comes into play with the way that I am feeling at the end of a meal. Music selection and volume, the quality of the service ware is proportionate with the dollar signs on the menu. Did the server have more or less knowledge of wine than me and was it served properly regardless of its cost? I look at the whole package, because that is what I’m paying for. The most important part of a meal is the company that you keep during it. Bad people, bad dinner. All you’ll remember of your hard earned time is that nasty comment Bonnie made before coffee. As in all aspects of life, one should surround themselves with people who make them better. Beginning a meal with this formula usually takes care of the rest of the details of dinner conversation and avoiding offensive comments.

Bradford Lewis is a graduate of The Culinary Institute of America, has his entry level sommelier certification and has been a professional chef for 15 years. He lives with his wife and son in Charlevoix, Mich.

The Library of Congress will induct 25 films into the National Film Registry, including Mary Poppins.” dent cinema, and Leggett noted Tarantino’s “stylized violence and kind of strangeness” in the cinematography. Older films often become endangered of being lost, said Librarian of Congress James Billington, “so we must protect the nation’s matchless film heritage and cinematic creativity.” This year’s selections represent the “extreme vitality and diversity of American film heritage,” Leggett said. Many illustrate American culture and society from their times, he said. The oldest films joining the registry this year are from the silent era. They include 1920’s “Daughter of Dawn,” which featured an all-Native-American cast of Comanche and Kiowa people, with a fictional love story and a record of Native American traditions of the time. The 1919 silent film “A Virtuous Vamp,” a spoof on workplace romance, made Constance Talmadge an early film star. And “Ella Cinders” from 1926 featured the famous actress Col-

leen Moore. Earlier this month, the library released a study that found 70 percent of America’s feature-length silent films have already been lost. Other notable selections this year include the 1956 science-fiction film “Forbidden Planet,” which depicted humans as space travelers to another planet ahead of the real space race to the moon; the popular Wester n “The Magnificent Seven” from 1960; and the 1946 film “Gilda,” which is the first in the registry featuring actress Rita Hayworth. Also included is the 1966 adaptation of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf,” starring the reallife couple Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. The movie earned Oscar nominations for them both, a win for Taylor, and launched the screendirecting career of Mike Nichols. Original prints of even newer movies, such as Michael Moore’s “Roger and Me” from 1989, have become endangered. In a statement to the library,

Moore said he lear ned last year that there were no more usable prints left of his film about the hemorrhaging of jobs at General Motors in Flint. “Over the years, this movie has received many acknowledgements, but this is certainly the one I cherish the most,” Moore said of the movie’s selection for preservation. “The true regret I have is that the cities of Flint and Detroit, which are at the center of my film, are now in much worse shape — as is the American middle class in general.”

Lane, Dennehy find new home for ‘Iceman Cometh’ NEW YORK (AP) — Nathan Lane and Brian Dennehy will star in a revival of Eugene O’Neill’s “The Iceman Cometh” in Brooklyn in 2015. The Brooklyn Academy of Music said Tuesday the pair of stars, who had been in an acclaimed Goodman Theatre version of the play in 2012 in Chicago, will present the five-hour work for a six-week run in the BAM Harvey Theater from Feb. 5 through March 15. The director is Robert Falls, artistic director of the Goodman, and the show is produced by BAM and Scott Rudin. Lane was last on Broadway in “The Nance” and Dennehy was in “Desire Under the Elms.” The play features a col-

lection of down-and-out failures, prostitutes and pimps, sunken ex-revolutionists and disgraced former soldiers who gather in a saloon in 1912.

Tyler Perry says Fincher is ‘amazing’director NEW YORK (AP) — Tyler Perry writes, directs, stars in and produces his own movies and TV shows, so he doesn’t have much time for outside projects. One he’s glad he made work is a role in director David Fincher’s upcoming film, “Gone Girl.” Based on the best-selling novel by Gillian Flynn, “Gone Girl” is the story of a man who comes under suspicion in the disappearance of his wife. The movie, scheduled for release next October, stars Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike. “‘Gone Girl’ is “the most educational, awe-inspiring thing that I’ve ever done,” Perry said. “Sitting in his presence, in his genius, the man is a genius,” he said of Fincher. “It really makes me go, ‘Whoa, let me just stop and take this in,’ so it’s been wonderful.” And, as one filmmaker to another, he’s humbled by working with the Oscarnominated director. “I’m a storyteller. That man is a di-re-ctor. He is amazing. And to watch him work and to watch how he paints his pictures, the tableaus, everything is really just beyond anything I could ever imagine.” PN-00395477

WASHINGTON — Just in time for a new movie about the making of “Mary Poppins,” the 1964 Disney classic starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke has been selected for preservation at the Library of Congress so future generations of Americans can see it. On Wednesday, the library is inducting 25 films into the National Film Registry to be preserved for their cultural, historical or cinematic significance. This year’s selections include Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction,” the space race film “The Right Stuff,” and Michael Moore’s documentary confronting the auto industry, “Roger and Me.” Curators said it was a coincidence that they selected “Mary Poppins” just ahead of its 50th anniversary and during the release of the new Disney film “Saving Mr. Banks,” which is about the making of the movie. Steve Leggett, program coordinator for the library’s National Film Preservation Board, said “Mary Poppins” had been on the short list of picks many times before. “It’s just a title that everyone has seen and recognizes, and the musical numbers and just the Julie Andrews and the shimshim-a-ree — it’s just become a real, imbued part of our culture,” he said. The films chosen this year span from 1919 to 2002 and include Hollywood classics, documentaries, silent films, independent flicks and experimental pictures. Congress created the program in 1989 to ensure that gems from American movie history are preserved for years to come. Some are chosen for their influence on movies that would follow, as with “Pulp Fiction” from 1994. The film board called it a milestone for indepen-

Luke Spring, the tap dancing prodigy Mark Kennedy AP Drama Writer

N E W YO R K — L u ke Spring’s path to Broadway began in the unlikeliest place — the lost-andfound bin. The then-4-year-old was killing time at a dance studio while he waited for his older sisters to finish class when he found some shoes that had metal plates on their heels and toes. He put them on. Tap, tap, tap, tappity tap. “I thought he was just making noise,” recalls his mother, Jill. But then she noted some astonished faces. “People started saying, ‘No, Jill, he’s making rhythm.’” Luke, now 10, thankfully hasn’t stopped — and the number of astonished faces is increasing. He’s tapped his way onto “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in “A Christmas Story: The Musical,” the

Tony Award telecast from Radio City Music Hall and now Madison Square Garden. “I’m just honored and blessed to be performing onstage,” says Spring, a remarkably well-behaved, 4-foot-tall blond boy from Ashburn, Va., who adores football and basketball. He’s on a quest to always improve, a smile plastered on his face. “It’s like working with a 45-year-old man,” says Warren Carlyle, who choreographed the show. “It’s the strangest thing. He’s not a kid. That talent is not childlike at all. At all.” The tap prodigy has retur ned to “A Christmas Story,” the hit musical based on the 1983 movie about a kid who dreams of getting an air rifle for Christmas. It’s at The Theater at Madison Square Garden until Dec. 29. Without any warning, Luke suddenly appears in a fantasy sequence in Act 2 dressed in a gangster’s

pinstripe suit. He mows down people with his lightning-fast tapping. He became Spring a special highlight of the show that stars Dan Lauria and features songs by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. Even the show’s dressers crane their heads of fstage to watch his act, which he improvs every night. The New York Times called L u ke a “ dy n a m o w i t h feathers for feet,” and Entertainment Weekly said his work would “draw applause from the likes of Sammy Davis Jr.” L u k e, w h o a l s o c a n dance jazz, contemporary, hip-hop and ballet,

has lately taken singing lessons and is firmly on his way to a career he hopes will include using all his skills on film. “He just has a gift. He hears music in a way that can’ t be taught,” says Mara Newbery, the dance captain for the musical who has also toured with “Shrek the Musical” and was in “Honeymoon in Vegas” at the Paper Mill Playhouse. “He works harder than a lot of the adults I’ve worked with on Broadway shows,” she adds. “What’s incredible is that he’s so young and able to do that. But what he does would be incredible at 20, 30, 40.” Luke came to Broadw ay ’s at t e n t i o n wh i l e perfor ming at the 2012 Fred and Adele Astaire

Aw a r d s . A l s o a t t e n d ing was choreographer J a m e s G r a y, w h o r e turned to gush about the young man to the creators of “A Christmas Story.” Carlyle saw a clip of Luke on YouTube and persuaded the producers to add Luke to the cast. He then built a tap number into the show for him. “He’s really, really special,” says Carlyle. Newbery, whose job is to teach the cast all the choreography, recalls an early rehearsal in which Luke unleashed a flurry of tap-tappity-taps that stunned everyone. The assistant conductor leaned over and whispered in her ear: “You just got outtapped by a 9 - ye a r- o l d . ” N e w b e r y, who holds a bachelor’s in theater from the Uni-

versity of Michigan and is a seasoned perfor mer, ag reed: “I was like, ‘I know. I need to go to class.’” She’s even found herself learning from Luke, some 15 years her junior. He’s unfailingly polite, re gularly practices on his own after rehearsals and carries himself with total professionalism. “I think that’s something we forget as adults: You can lear n so much from kids. We try and act like, ‘Oh, we know what we’re doing. We’re here to tell you what to do,’” she says. “Sometimes you get a kick in the pants and you’re like, ‘Oh, wait. I can learn something from you.’”

aking soup can be simple, and with just a few ingredients, a little bit of time and a large pot, you can make a wonderful winter vegetable soup. Serve with a crusty bread.

Winter Vegetable Soup

Ingredients 1 medium onion, chopped 1 butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces 3 carrots, chopped 1/4 head of cabbage chopped 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes 15 ounce can white beans, rinsed 1/2 cup small pasta shells 2 tablespoon olive oil 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper 6 cups vegetable stock (recipe below) Optional: fresh grated Parmesan cheese Directions Cook chopped onion in olive oil in a large pot for medium heat, stirring often, until onion is soft, 8-10 minutes. Add a can diced tomatoes and their juices, simmer, until thickened, 6-8 minutes. Add butternut squash, carrots, beans and stock to pot. Cook until carrots and squash are soft. Add pasta and cabbage, salt and pepper (or to taste) simmer until pasta is tender. Add grated Parmesan to soup in bowls, if desired.

Vegetable Stock

1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 onion, (about 1/2 pound), coarsely chopped 2 carrots, (about 1/4 pound), coarsely chopped 2 parsnips, (about 1 pound), coarsely chopped 1 stalk celery, coarsely chopped 1 bunch (about 1 1/2 pounds) red or green Swiss chard Several sprigs fresh thyme Several sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley 1 dried bay leaf Directions Step 1: In a medium stockpot over medium-high heat, melt butter and olive oil.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always wise to remember that if an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If you are offered merchandise at an unbelievably low price, check it out thoroughly. A call to the Better Business Bureau (serving Eastern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula) will tell you whether other consumers have had problems with the firm that has offered the merchandises. (248)223-9400. But call the Bureau BEFORE you make a purchase. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be glad you did.
