Tortoise found alive,
30 years later
(AP) RIO DE JANIERO Manuela the tortoise made her
supposed disappearing act
from the Almedia family in
Rio De Janiero back in 1982.
The family was renovating
their home, and admittedly
were not keeping an eye on
the animal’s whereabouts.
When they couldn’t find
Manuela later, they assumed
she slipped out a door left
open by workers.
In reality, Manuela had
just found an awesome hiding spot inside a bag of junk
in the house’s upstairs storeroom. The animal’s secret
lair wasn’t discovered until
recently, when the family
was cleaning out the space.
The father of the Almedia
family died recently, and his
children were going through
the belongings their father
kept in the storeroom.
Some of the boxes and bags
in the storeroom were taken to
the curb for trash collection. It
was in one of these bags that
the Almedias’ neighbor spotted Manuela. The neighbor
asked the family if they were
planning to throw out the tortoise as well. Manuela has
now been reunited with her
long lost family and is free to
roam the rest of the house
once again. Veterinarians
who examined Manuela say
that she is in good health.
Tortoises are know for being
resilient, lasting up to three
years without food. Professionals believe Manuela
got by on the occasional
meal of termites.

'Nash Bridges' lawsuit for $19M
HOLLYWOOD (AP) - Don Johnson is $19 million richer.
The "Nash Bridges" star has settled a lawsuit he filed against
Rysher Entertainment, which co-produced the series, claiming
he was owed millions of dollars in profits from the show,
according to The Hollywood Reporter.
In the summer of 2010, Johnson sued Rysher, saying that his
contract with the company stipulated that he was entitled to half
of the show's earnings if it aired more than 66 episodes, THR
reports. ("Nash Bridges" aired 122 episodes when it was on the
air from 1996 to 2001.) Rysher maintained that, after production and distribution costs, the show did not actually turn a profit. A jury disagreed, however, awarding Johnson $23.2 million,
which a judge later increased to $50 million after factoring in
interest.
Months later, an appellate court altered the amount to $15 million, saying it was miscalculated by both the judge and the jury.
Both sides could have chosen to appeal that decision, but the
lawsuit appears to have been settled after Rysher wired $19 million to Johnson's own production company last month and Johnson signed a document saying he was satisfied with the payment.
Three new albums for Gretchen Wilson in
the works
(AP) - Gretchen Wilson has announced plans for three new
albums on her Redneck Records label in 2013. Wilson has
already released a new single, “Still Rollin’,” from an album of
new material titled Right on Time, scheduled for an April 2
release. Wilson co-wrote the single with longtime collaborator
Vicky McGehee. In addition, Wilson will release an album of
1970s rock songs titled Under the Covers on May 28, followed
by her first Christmas album in October. Wilson released her
previous album I Got Your Country Right Here in 2010. Her
signature song, “Redneck Woman,” spent five weeks at No. 1
in 2004.
Michigan's child passenger safety law
requires:
MICHIGAN.GOV - Children younger than age 4 to ride in a
car seat in the rear seat if the vehicle has a rear seat. If all available rear seats are occupied by children under 4, then a child
under 4 may ride in a car seat in the front seat. A child in a rearfacing car seat may only ride in the front seat if the airbag is
turned off.
Children are to be properly buckled in a car seat or booster seat
until they are 8 years old or 4-feet-9-inches tall. Children must
ride in a seat until they reach the age requirement or the height
requirement, whichever comes first.
14 mph Speed Limit?
ASPEN, Colo. (AP) —
Aspen city council members
are considering a 14 mph
speed limit in a residential
area of the Colorado mountain
town in attempt to get the
attention of drivers and have
them slow down.
Residents say few drivers
are obeying the current 25
mph speed limit and are ignoring other efforts to protect
people.
The Aspen Times reports
Mayor Mick Ireland suggested an 18 mph limit because
the number is out of the ordi-
nary for a speed limit. After
further discussion, council
members decided to drop the
proposed limit down to 14
mph.
DNR winter
deer yards
MDNR- As part of an initiative to update maps of deer
wintering complexes (also
known as "deer yards") in the
Upper Peninsula, the Michigan Department of Natural
Resources is seeking help
from the public to identify
locations where deer are concentrating this winter. During
the snowy winter months,
deer in some areas of the
Upper Peninsula traditionally
migrate to areas that possess
an abundance of conifer trees,
especially cedar and hemlock.
Cedar and hemlock provide
an excellent source of food,
while their branches intercept
snow and serve to shelter deer
from deep snowfall.
The reduced snow depth in
deer yards results in deer
expending less energy moving between feeding and shelter areas. In addition, the
conifer cover acts to insulate
the deer by reducing wind
movement and providing
higher nighttime temperatures. Because deer have a
more restricted and lower
quality diet in the winter compared to other times of the
year, it is imperative that they
find ways to conserve energy
stores.DNR field staff will be
verifying the presence of deer
and clarifying the deer wintering complex boundaries during the winter months. Assistance from the public in providing the locations where
deer concentrate in the winter
will dramatically increase the
number of locations that can
be checked by field staff to
refine deer wintering complex
boundaries.
Deer observation forms can
be downloaded from the
DNR's website by going to
www.michigan.gov/deer and
clicking on the "Upper Peninsula Winter Deer Observations" link. Hardcopies are
also available at DNR offices
in the Upper Peninsula (for
office locations, visit
www.michigan.gov/contactdnr). Completed observation forms should be returned
to: Michigan DNR, Wildlife
Division, Norway Field
Office, 520 W. US Hwy. 2,
Norway, MI 49870.

Supersonic skydiver
reached 844 mph
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
(AP) - Supersonic skydiver
Felix Baumgartner was faster
than he or anyone else thought
during his record-setting
jump last October from 24
miles up.
The Austrian parachutist
known as “Fearless Felix”
reached 843.6 mph, according to official numbers
released Monday. That’s
equivalent to Mach 1.25, or
1.25 times the speed of
sound.
His top speed initially was
estimated at 10 mph slower at
834 mph, or Mach 1.24.
Either way, he became the
first human to break the sound
barrier with only his body. He
wore a pressurized suit and
hopped from a capsule hoisted by a giant helium balloon
over New Mexico.
Baumgartner was supersonic for a half-minute - “quite
remarkable,” according to
Brian Utley, the record-keeping official who was present
for the Oct. 14 feat.
The 43-year-old’s heart rate
remained below 185 beats a
minute, and his breathing was
fairly steady.
The leap was from an altitude of 127,852 feet. That’s
248 feet lower than original
estimates, but still stratospheric.
“It’s fun for us to see reaching Mach speeds and proving
out a lot of the safety systems,” Thompson said in a
phone interview from his
aerospace company in Lancaster, Calif.
Steve Martin reportedly becomes a
first-time dad at 67
NEW YORK (AP) - Steve Martin’s become a first-time dad
at 67, The New York Post reported.
The “It’s Complicated” star and his wife, Anne Stringfield, 41,
welcomed a child in December and have been spotted nearby
their L.A. home with the bundle of joy.
“They’ve had a baby, and how they kept it a secret nobody
knows,” a source said. “Steve’s very private.” The source added,
“They are thrilled. They worked hard to have the baby.”
The couple married in 2007 at Martin’s home in a surprise
ceremony where guests, including Tom Hanks and Diane
Keaton, were told it was a party.

Changes to DNR's Master
Angler program announced
for 2013
MDNR - The Michigan
Department of Natural
Resources has announced that
effective Jan. 1, 2013, multiple changes have been made
to the state's Master Angler
program. This program recognizes large fish caught by
recreational anglers and has
been in place since 1973.
To determine whether
changes were necessary for
the Master Angler program,
the DNR's Fisheries Division
reviewed entries from the past
five years and determined the
minimum entry weight and
length needed to be updated
for several species, including:
Atlantic salmon, brook trout,
brown trout, bullhead, channel catfish, Chinook salmon,
coho salmon, crappie, freshwater drum, muskellunge,
rainbow trout, rock bass and
smallmouth bass.
The changes to the entry criteria were based on the number of entries received for
individual species from the
past five years, as well as environmental changes over the
last several decades that have
impacted fish growth in
Michigan. As a result the
entry criteria for some fish
have been increased while
others were decreased.
"The last five years have
proven that catching certain
species of fish of larger size in
Michigan has become more of
an everyday occurrence," said
DNR fisheries biologist Tom
Goniea. "Updating the Master
Angler criteria ensures that
recognition goes to those who
catch fish that truly are
notable."
In addition to the minimum
entry criteria, multiple
changes were made to the submission procedures for both
"Catch-and-ImmediateRelease" and "Catch-andKeep" categories. Also, black
and white photos will no
longer be accepted; all photos
must be in color.
All changes are highlighted
in yellow on the new 2013
Master Angler entry application, available online at
www.michigan.gov/masterangler, at any of the DNR's
Operations Service Centers,
or by calling 517-373-1280.
The Michigan Department
of Natural Resources is committed to the conservation,
protection, management, use
and enjoyment of the state's
natural and cultural resources
for current and future generations. For more information,

Roaming cows at cemetery
SOUTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — The vandals that damaged
a Massachusetts cemetery this week have pleaded “moo.”
Police say a small herd of cows knocked over 40 American
flags and veterans’ bronze grave markers, then snacked on a few
flower arrangements, at the Center Cemetery in Southampton
on Monday.
Motorists called to report that the cows were loose. Police contacted the owner, Henry Wykowski, who caught and removed
the cows from the cemetery. Chief David Silvernail says the
cows are an “ongoing problem,” and his department has
responded to complaints about the roaming bovines three or four
times since last spring.
Cemetery Commission member Robert Floyd tells The Daily
Hampshire Gazette he plans on asking the farmer to pay for the
damage once he comes up with an estimate.

Former NASCAR driver leads police
on 2-state chase
UTAH (AP) - Ex-NASCAR driver Timothy Tyler Andrew
Walker led authorities on a chase through Nevada and southern Utah. Walker had marijuana, pills and open containers
of alcohol in his vehicle.
Walker failed to stop for an officer in Nevada, and Arizona
Department of Public Safety officers unsuccessfully tried to
deflate the tires of his car. Walker’s luxury BMW sedan
came to a stop in Utah after two Utah Highway Patrol troopers set up spike strips. He tried unsuccessfully to flee on foot
before being arrested. The former NASCAR driver was
charged with evading police, driving under the influence,
possession of marijuana, possession of paraphernalia, possession of cannabis, possession of amphetamine, driving
with an open container of alcohol and transporting alcohol
across state lines.
Walker competed in 28 NASCAR races before being suspended for violating the association’s drug policy in 2007.
He drove in 19 NASCAR Nationwide series and nine Camping World Truck Series races during his career.

Community considers rat bounty
ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. (AP) - A suburban Detroit community is considering offering a $5 bounty for every rat caught
in the city as part of a broader rodent-control effort. The Detroit
Free Press reported the idea is part of a multipronged proposal
to deal with rats in St. Clair Shores, which is among several communities facing rodent problems. Officials earlier had an aggressive pilot program taking place to help curb the rat population.
City Manager Mike Smith said the proposed bounty is aimed at
collecting data to help the battle against rats. The idea was presented last month to the city council. Smith said officials are taking feedback from residents and the city council could take up
the issue in March. The proposed rat-control program also could
include inspections, baiting, updated garbage cans.

Man stopped for beer after breakout
BURGETTSTOWN, Pa.
(AP) — Police say a western
Pennsylvania man stopped at
a bar and had a beer minutes
after he broke out of a police
station holding cell after his
arrest on an assault charge.
The Washington County
public defender’s office on
Wednesday declined to comment on the charges filed
against 40-year-old Smith
Township resident Timothy
Bonner.
Police say they were processing Bonner, removed his
handcuffs, and placed him in
the cell. That’s when Bonner
allegedly knocked the cell
door off its hinges and ran
away.
After stopping at a house to
borrow shoes, police say Bonner went to Richy’s Bar,
where a customer tells WPXITV the suspect acknowledged
breaking out of jail and then
asked for a beer.
The customer says he
bought a beer for Bonner, who
didn’t get to enjoy it before
police arrested him.
Logic Puzzle
Triplets
The Puzzle: Three sisters are
identical triplets. The oldest
by minutes is Sarah, and Sarah
always tells anyone the truth.
The next oldest is Sue, and
Sue always will tell anyone a
lie. Sally is the youngest of the
three. She sometimes lies and
sometimes tells the truth.
Victor, an old friend of the
family’s, came over one day
and as usual he didn’t know
who was who, so he asked
each of them one question.
Victor asked the sister that
was sitting on the left, “Which
sister is in the middle of you
three?” and the answer he
received was, “Oh, that’s
Sarah.”
Victor then asked the sister
in the middle, “What is your
name?” The response given
was, “I’m Sally.”
Victor turned to the sister on
the right, then asked, “Who is
that in the middle?” The sister
then replied, “She is Sue.”
This confused Victor; he had
asked the same question three
times and received three different answers.
Who was who?
Over 6,200 miles of snowmobile trails
(HOUGHTON) The Daily Mining Gazette- In Michigan, the
only thing limiting snowmobilers is the need for food and sleep.
More than 6,200 miles of snowmobile trails are located
throughout the state, crossing six state forests, three national
forests and many acres of privately owned land.
The Keweenaw Peninsula Chamber of Commerce in
Houghton, the Keweenaw Convention and Visitors Bureau in
Calumet, the Tourist and Recreation Association of Baraga, and
the Ontonagon County Chamber of Commerce provide information on the Copper Country's numerous trails systems.
Some of the major trails include the Bill Nicholls Trail, which
connects Rockland to Houghton; the Jack Stevens Trail, which
reaches from Hancock to Calumet; the Keweenaw Trail, which
stretches from Hancock to Copper Harbor; and the Freda Trail,
which loops between Toivola, Freda and Atlantic Mine. The
trails connect.
Before a snowmobiler can take to the trails, he or she must
register the sled every three years. Snowmobile decals must be
displayed on each side of the forward half of the cowl above the
footwall of the snowmobile. Snowmobiles are not titled.
In addition to the regular three-year snowmobile registration,
all snowmobilers must purchase an annual snowmobile trail
permit sticker. This applies to both Michigan residents and nonresidents. Snowmobiles used on private land or used only on
frozen public waters for ice fishing are exempt from the trail
permit.
Trail permits cost $45 each and are valid from Oct. 1 to Sept.
30 each year. Permits are sold by agents of the Michigan
Department of Natural Resources such as sporting goods stores,
local retailers, snowmobile dealers, department stores and
motels.
The generated revenue is designated to develop and maintain
the trail network.
According to snowtracks.com, registration fees and snowmobile permit fees account for more than $6.8 million annually
allocated for trail grooming. Between $500,000 to $800,000
is allocated annually for off-season repairs to snowmobile trail
facilities.
Michigan is one of only three states that offer a large system
of interconnected snowmobile trails. More than 100 grooming
tractors are used by four DNR offices and by 61 grants program
sponsors to groom the 6,200 mile trail system.
Any person over the age of 18 can operate a snowmobile. The
DNR says young riders must successfully complete a snowmobile safety course if the rider is at least 12 but less than 17
years of age and driving a snowmobile without direct supervision of a person 21 years of age or older. Riders in this age range
may not cross a highway or street without having a valid
snowmobile safety certificate in their immediate possession.
Minor league hockey team's mascot escapes
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (UPI) -- Video of a California minor
league hockey team's mascot, a condor, attempting to escape
during the national anthem has become a hit online.
The video depicts the Bakersfield Condors' condor escaping
from her handler at Rabobank Arena during the national anthem
prior to a game, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The condor, whose hijinks have been viewed more than
330,000 times on YouTube, slid across the ice and was grabbed
by the handler, but got free again when her handler slipped and
fell. The bird flapped onto a railing and made her way to the
arena's locker rooms before being recaptured.
The team's Twitter account said the bird was unharmed.
"It was great! She's OK!" the post said.

ANSWER: The first one cannot be Sarah, because that would
make the first one a liar. The second one cannot be Sarah for the
same reason. So, the third sister must be Sarah. This means the
middle one is Sue and the only one left is Sally.

Why you need to shop locally owned
businesses first
The following 10
reasons show how
more money spent
at local businesses is
reinvested in your
community creating
diversity and helping the community
maintain or create its
unique appeal.
LANSING — The Michigan Department of Natural Resources says a muskellunge caught in
Antrim County has been listed as a world-record fight.
Joseph Seeberger of Portage landed the fish Oct. 13 on Lake Bellaire, about 25 miles northeast
of Traverse City. The muskie weighed 58 pounds, was 58 or 59 inches long and had a girth of
29 inches.
The DNR earlier said that the fish had the state record, based on weight.
This week, the DNR said has been listed as a world record by the International Committee of
the Modern Day Muskellunge World Record Program. The committee is a group of muskellunge
scientists, industry leaders, anglers and others who track records.
1. Shopping local
creates jobs.
Shops in our town
create local employment and selfemployment. These
people in turn spend in
the local community.
2. Local independent shops invest
more in our communities.
Local businesses are proportionately more generous in
their support of local charities,
schools and community
events. Supporting local
shops means a financial
impact on your community.
3. Local shops sell a wide
range of great products at
affordable prices.
Many people fall out of
the habit of shopping locally
and are then surprised by the
range of products and gifts
available.
4. Shopping local saves
you money.
Out of town shops have
done a good job of convincing
us that local business equals
expensive. If you add travel,
fees to transfer items and your
time, the overall cost is often
much higher.
5. Shopping local retains
our communities.
People don’t like losing
shops and services in small
towns but don’t equate this to
how they spend their money.
6. Shopping local retains
our distinctiveness.
Independent shops create
distinctive shopping experiences and stock different
products. Local businesses
respond quickly to the needs
of local customers, stocking
products to meet the changing
population needs.
7. Shopping local saves
the environment.
Local shops often stock a
high percentage of local
sourced goods which do not
require long car and bus journeys, helping reduce our global footprint.
8. Local shops are for
Did You Know?
In 2000 Al Gore won the
popular vote but lost the
election to George Bush. In
the most highly contested
election in modern history,
the U.S. Supreme Court
stopped the Florida recount
of ballots, giving Bush the
state’s 25 electoral votes for
a total of 271 to Gore’s 255.
Church Ladies with typewriters
everyone.
Most people can get to
their local shops easily and
this is especially important for
the elderly and young generations and those without transportation.
9. Local shops value you
more.
Evidence from numerous
surveys show people receive
better customer care and service locally. These businesses
survive by their reputation
and repeat business, which
means you get a higher standard of service.
10. Shopping local saves
services.
Private and public sector
services tend to cluster around
shops. As shops disappear so
do hairdressers, banks, restaurants, etc.
SO SHOP SMART.
SHOP LOCAL.

Once there were 9 children,
all of which were in the same
family. They were all born 18
months apart. The oldest one
(George) was 5 times older
than the youngest one
(Michael).
How old was Michael?
Answer
3 yrs. old.
If each child was born 18
months apart, then there has to
be a 12 year gap between oldest and youngest.
Therefore George is 15 and
Michael 3.
This is the only 12 year gap
that has a difference in ages of
5 times.

Astronomer: Lights in sky likely lanterns
WANUIOMATA, New Zealand (UPI) -- A New Zealand
astronomer said two "bright orange fire balls" spotted over a
Wellington suburb were likely Chinese lanterns blown away by
the wind. Michelle Turner said she and a group of 10 friends
were partying in Wanuiomata at 1:05 a.m. the start of the Chinese New Year, and they spotted the lights in the sky, The
Dominion Post, Wellington, reported. Carter Observatory
astronomer Claire Bretherton said the lights, described as "two
bright orange fireballs" moving together and changing directions, were likely Chinese lanterns carried away by the wind.
''They were probably moving with the prevailing wind. If it
was something like a fireball or meteor it would not change
direction," Bretherton said.
''It was just so weird," Turner said. "They were traveling at the
same speed, then they turned at the same time in another direction and one looked like it disappeared, then came back, then
disappeared again, then the other one disappeared.''
Man cleared in stinky feet stabbing
AUGUSTA, Ga., (UPI) -- A Georgia man alleged to have cut
a roommate for complaining about his foot odor was acquitted
at the close of a bench trial.
Crawford Jackson, 62, of Augusta, was acquitted of charges
of aggravated assault and possession of a knife during the commission of a crime by Richmond County Superior Court Judge
J. David Roper, who said the knife does not appear to have been
used as a deadly weapon in the incident, the Augusta Chronicle
reported. Darryl Harris, the alleged victim, testified Jackson
became angry when Harris complained about the man's foot
odor and poked him repeatedly in the stomach with the blunt
end of a pocket knife, breaking the skin.
Jackson was previously acquitted in May 2009 of a murder
charge. He was accused of killing Phillip Wallis Scott, 51, who
died two days after Jackson stabbed him in the stomach in 2008.
Jackson successfully argued the incident was self-defense.

Officials give piano project
a few days
SAN FRANCISCO, (UPI) -- A San Francisco artist said officials have given him a few extra days to keep his baby grand
piano on the bluffs overlooking a bay.
Mauro Ffortissimo, 50, whose real last name is Dinucci, said
he and four men moved the piano onto the bluffs overlooking
Half Moon Bay Feb. 1 and he has since been holding sunset concerts every day to regale passersby with classical music, the San
Francisco Chronicle reported.
Ffortissimo said a code enforcement officer informed him a
few days later that he would have to remove the piano because
he did not have a permit, which the officer told him would take
"a year" to obtain.
Ffortissimo said his idea for the "Sunset Piano" project is to
play the same pieces each night and see how they differ as the
elements affect the instrument.
"The piano's getting progressively out of tune, out of whack,
out of everything," Ffortissimo said. "I'm doing the same thing,
but nature's changing the piano. Everything's in flux."

Montana man made up sob story that
got him pizza
HELENA, Mont. (AP) - A Montana man whose tearful reluctance to rob a pizza restaurant earned him free food apparently
made up the sob story that gained him the clerk’s sympathy.
David Randall Lacey, 35, entered a Papa John’s pizza restaurant on Jan. 22 with a bandanna over his face and gave the clerk
a note demanding money, Helena police said. He broke down
crying and told the clerk he needed the money to support his
wife and children, who were hungry. The clerk made him a large
pepperoni pizza and some chicken wings as he waited, and the
man left.
The Independent Record reports an investigation found Lacey
has no children in Helena and changed his story when he saw
how little money was in the cash registerî just $24.56, according to a police report. Police received a tip that Lacey acknowledged his role in the incident and a clerk picked him out of a
lineup. He was arrested on suspicion of felony robbery. He
remained jailed Friday with bail set at $25,000.
Lacey told police he needed the money to buy food, court
records said.

A natural LUGE of winter
working to control their speed around corners to make the fastest time.
“You control your sled with your feet,”
Rogers said. “You have complete control
of your sled.”
Sliders can not only steer their sled by
pushing on the sled with their feet, but
also control their speed using spikes
imbedded in the heels of their shoes,
which allows them to slow down when
going around a curve, if necessary.
The club typically holds several races
each season, which allows the members,
who are as young as four or five years old,
to get in some friendly competition.
In addition to the races, Rogers has also
had the opportunity to travel with some of
the club members to Lake Placid to get
some summer training at the Olympic
Training Center there. Although the
Olympics showcases artificial track luge,
Rogers said the training center there
helped him to get in training specifically
for starting a run. When a slider leaves the
starting gate on a luge track, they push off
using two handles, giving them their initial burst of speed.
“You can’t make up speed once you
lose it,” Rogers said. “It was good to go
through all the training. It definitely
helped.”
Rogers said he hoped to attend the training camp again this summer or fall.
In coming years, Rogers said he also
hoped to travel to Europe to compete, and
then possibly join the U.S. Junior National and then the National Luge team. Getting to the Olympics, however, will mean
transitioning to the artificial track.
“The Olympics luge is easier to do than
the natural track luge that I do,” he said,
adding that the natural luge track tends to
be more technical because it’s not on a
man-made surface.
The main point of the whole sport, however, is to have fun.
“It’s a fun sport,” he said. “I have a lot
more fun than sitting inside and playing
video games.”
Luge is also something unique that
Rogers said he participates in that not
many others at his school do.
“Everybody wants to be a basketball
player,” he said.
For more information about the public
sliding or about joining the club, contact
coach Tammy Wills at 906-361-4843.

Why did the farmer bury all his money?
to make his soil rich.
(MARQUETTE) The Mining Journal Most kids know what it’s like to go sledding during the winter. And while Derek
Rogers, 14, of Negaunee spends about
three days a week out on a sled, what he
does isn’t your run-of-the-mill sledding
experience.
A member of the Lucy Hill Luge Club,
Rogers, an eighth- grader at the Negaunee
Middle School, does his sliding down the
ice coated natural luge hill in Negaunee.
“To get your fastest, you have to get a
good line,” Rogers said. “The shortest
distance between two points is a straight
line.”
When he was 10, Rogers said the club’s
coach Tammy Wills came to talk at his
school about the club and he decided to
try it out.
“I thought it would be fun to try,” he
said.
Now a veteran member of the club,
Rogers heads to the luge hill three days a
week after school.
Luge as a sport is divided into two types
— natural luge or naturbahn luge, which
is performed on a natural hill bordered by
snowbanks and boards, and kunstbahn, or
artificial track luge, which is the sport
seen at the winter Olympic Games.
Athletes lie on the natural luge sled,
which rides on metal runners, face up and
feet first, steering and controlling the sled
with their feet and hands.
Much of practice each day is spent
learning to navigate the various curves on
the Lucy Hill track, Rogers said.
“We’ll go on a bunch of different parts
of the track,” he said.
Lucy Hill, like other luge tracks, has a
series of gates that travel up the hill,
allowing the sliders to start at different
points on the hill, depending on their
experience. The more experienced they
are, the higher up on the hill they go,

Joe Pesci settles dispute over ‘Gotti’
film payday
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Joe Pesci has settled a lawsuit filed
against a company planning a biopic on the Gotti crime family.
The Oscar-winner sued Fiore Films in July 2011 claiming the
filmmakers reneged on a deal for a $3 million role in the film
and were offering him a lesser part in the project and a lower
payday.
Pesci’s attorney Jessica Trotter confirmed Monday that a settlement had been reached in the case but said she could not provide any details.
Michael Froch, an attorney for Fiore Films, said he could only
confirm the case had been dismissed.
Pesci’s lawsuit stated the actor gained 30 pounds in anticipation of playing a childhood friend and enforcer of crime boss
John Gotti Sr.
The film, “Gotti: In the Shadow of My Father,” has not started filming.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The force isn’t with the 3-D versions
of the “Star Wars” prequels. Lucasfilm said in a statement Monday that it’s postponing the scheduled 3-D releases of “Star
Wars: Episode II Attack Of The Clones” and “Episode III
Revenge of the Sith” this fall to instead focus its efforts on “Star
Wars: Episode VII.”
The Walt Disney Co. confirmed that J.J. Abrams, creator of
the TV series “Lost” and director of 2009’s “Star Trek” movie,
will direct the seventh installment of the franchise, set for a
2014 release.
Disney bought “Star Wars” maker Lucasfilm last month for
$4.06 billion. “Episode I î The Phantom Menace” was released
in 3-D last February and earned $22.4 million domestically its
opening weekend. The original prequels were released from
1999 to 2005.
