n Contract negations, a physical evaluation and drug test are pending

By Cory Smith

Daily News staff writer

BELDING — After three months of searching and hours of questioning various candidates during extended interviews, Belding will have a new city manger.

Members of Belding City Council unanimously approved a motion Thursday evening to pursue contract negotiations and vetting with Meg Mullendore of Buchanan to be the

next city manager.

Mullendore emerged as the lead candidate after a second interview which lasted one hour and 20 minutes at the Pere Margaret Marquette Depot.

Mullendore “I’m committed to Belding and to its success,” Mullendore said. “As soon as the position was vacated, I started preparing because this is where I want to be, this is where I need to be.

This is where my home is, where my roots are planted. You don’t have to wait for me to fall in love with

Belding, I did that years ago.”

Mullendore, a graduate of Greenville High School, earned her bachelor’s degree in sociology and psychology from Grand Valley State University in 1997. She went on to obtain her master’s degree in public administration and urban and regional affairs in 2001.

Mullendore most recently held the position of manager in the village of Cassopolis at a salary of $55,000.

Cassopolis is a village of 1,774, according to the 2010 census.

She was one of two finalists for the position in Belding, but according to See Belding, Page 2

goal to reach out to anyone who may be in need.

“I keep trying to look for ways to be able to help in the community,” Schudel said. “Wherever there’s truly a need, we want to help.”

Schudel believes offering unique services such as certification to assist with left ventricular devices have Metron staying proactive, looking for ways to go beyond the cares of a standard nursing home.

“Metron of Belding is the only nursing home in the state of Michigan that is certified for assisting with left ventricular devices,” she said. “We’re also the only nursing facility that is certified to help patients with Huntington’s disease.

It requires a lot of staff knowledge and input.”

According to Schudel, seniors at Metron can enjoy time with personal belongings in their room, television, phone privileges, Internet access and

regular meal choices, all a part of the administration’s goal to create an “at home” atmosphere.

“Our goal is to try and make this as much of a home-like environment as possible,” she said. “With 150 employees, ranging from skilled to non-skilled positions, we work very hard to get people back home if it’s their choice.”

Metron of Belding was recently upgraded to a four-star facility, which is a state indicator using surveys and assessment data determining the general quality of a nursing home.

In a rating system out of five stars, Metron was previously rated at two stars just more than one year ago.

Schudel credits her staff as the main reason for the positive change at the facility.

We all make mistakes. And we here at The Daily News acknowledge we made a big one in discontinuing our weekly TV Listings section that printed on Fridays.

In our defense, we tried to provide the best of both worlds — a smart business solution for our newspaper and daily TV grids for our readers. We know they’re popular.

Unfortunately, our format didn’t translate well in the daily paper and the type was too small. In addition, to make it all work, we had to drop two comics — and that didn’t sit well either.

Because we heard from many of you that you didn’t like our solution, we’re bringing our old TV format and the comics back — starting next Friday, March 22. Once again, you will be able to get a week’s worth of television programming in one edition.

Please consider this our apology.

Hopefully our return to TV Listings also demonstrates that we care what you think and listen when you speak.

Feel free to let me know what else would you like to see in our paper.

The rehabilitation center at Metron of Belding offers many opportunities for individuals who are staying at the facility to steadily work their way back to a comfortable state in which they can return home.

n Michigan Supreme Court will have final say

By Elisabeth Waldon Daily News news editor

DETROIT — A longtime judge has been found guilty of breaching the standards of judicial conduct after throwing a Stanton attorney in jail for alleged contempt of court.

The Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission recently found Ottawa County’s 58th District Court Judge Kenneth Post guilty.

Post has sat on the bench since Jan. 1, 1980.

The judge’s offense took place on Dec. 2, 2011, when defense attorney Scott Millard Kenneth appeared in the Post Hudsonville court on behalf of a colleague to represent a client charged as a minor in possession of alcohol second offense.

While discussing bond conditions, Post inquired Scott Millard whether a drug test would show Millard’s client “clean or dirty.”

Millard informed Post his client intended to stand mute to the question. Post was not pleased with Millard’s response. After several exchanges and recesses between the attorney and the judge, Post ordered Millard to jail for contempt of court.

Millard was placed in handcuffs and leg shackles. Post also fined Millard $100.

Millard was licensed to practice law in October 2011, meaning he had only been on the job for several weeks when the incident occurred.

Millard works at Miel & Carr in Stanton, along with Joshua Blanchard, Duane Carr and Keeley Heath. The law firm immediately filed an appeal after Millard was jailed. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Michigan, the Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan and the Ottawa County Bar Association filed briefs supporting the appeal.

Ottawa County’s 20th Circuit Court Judge Edward Post (no relation to Kenneth Post) reversed the contempt of court charge on Jan. 16, 2012, and reassigned the case to another judge.

The Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission recently met in Detroit and found that Kenneth Post treated Millard in a “demeaning and intemperate manner, ignored relevant law” and improperly sent Millard to jail for contempt of court, thus breaching the standards of judicial conduct.

Post admitted some of his comments directed to and about Millard were “improper and eroded public See Judge, Page 2

Metron Continued From Page 1 work here, it’s not just playing games,” she said. “You’re coming in here to challenge a patient’s intellect, have a good time and take the humdrum out of the day.”

Aside from offering in-house services, Metron has recently made it a goal to reach out to the community and provide additional services throughout Belding.

According to Community Relations Coordinator Mario Robertson, those services include events such as blood pressure clinics held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. the first Wednesday of every month at Leppink’s Food Center in Belding and the facility’s rehab to home services.

“People picture this as a nursing home, where they are afraid to come

in and never come back out — and that is not the case,” Robertson said.

Robertson said life enrichment is also a big part of what Metron offers, with a variety of in-house activities ranging from bingo to board games to out-of-house activities such as trips to West Michigan White Caps minor league baseball games and more.

“You walk into a place and look at their residents and that is going to tell you how good their care is,” Schudel said. “We take pride in our care and we believe it shows.”

Mayor Pro Tem Andrea Belding said she entered

Belding added that she would like to see strict guidelines provided within Mullendore’s potential contract with the city.

Exploring roots of high health costs

T

ime magazine recently published a 35-page, 24,000word report on the causes behind the high health-care costs in the United States.

The article named many of the usual suspects: High markups on hospital care, medical equipment and lab tests; expensive pharmaceuticals; high-paid hospital administrators; and medical malpractice costs.

The article also pointed to some nefarious actions, such as nonprofit hospitals that earn sizable profits while doctoring their numbers to overstate the amount of charity care they provide; or doctors who have unseemly conflicts of interests.

One of the more eye-opening observations was the fact that often the hospitals charge their highest fees to those, such as the uninsured, who can least afford them.

There’s a lot to cover in 24,000 words. But these three themes stood out: Medicare does a better job of controlling costs than does private insurance.

Such a claim earns nasty glares from conservatives who are dead-set against a single-payer system. But it needs to be given serious consideration.

Medicare doesn’t pay the marked-up rate for many healthcare products and services. It also has a much lower administrative cost than do private insurance companies. It has a remarkable record of data processing, using contracts with a large network of private vendors.

Such a record should give pause to those pushing for a voucher system to provide health care for those over 65.

They should also rethink the plans to cut Medicare costs by increasing the eligibility age from the current 65. The problem with that is twofold: If Medicare is truly more cost-effective, then it would make more sense to lower the eligibility age than to increase it. Also, as other reports have noted, people who are generally healthy at age 65 won’t require much health care for the next two years of their lives. But to be safe, they would have to pursue expensive insurance from private carriers while Medicare wouldn’t save that much.

There are problems with Medicare, including the fact that current users are spending much more than what was contributed. But the expansion of Medicare should be considered with cool, reliable data and not with emotional claims of “socialized medicine.”

The current insurance system isn’t all that wonderful.

U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Brighton, was one of those who argued against Obamacare partly on the grounds that most people were happy with their insurance. So why make them change?

But should people be happy with their current coverage? That coverage is pretty much dictated by their employers who, over the years, have increased the amount employees pay while reducing benefits. That’s not a knock on management. Costs are going up and have to be covered somehow.

Also, many people have no idea of the effectiveness — or limitations — of their insurance until they desperately need it. The Time story told several examples of employed, insured individuals who sadly discovered that caps on their benefits left them with staggering health-care bills.

The health-care debate is often positioned by those who spend the most money with Congress.

Pharmaceutical companies, health-care organizations and insurance companies are big spenders when it comes to influencing Congress. The health-care industry even dwarfs the defense industry when it comes to spending on lobbying.

Further, trial attorneys spend big bucks with friendly members of Congress to avoid meaningful tort reform. In addition to big malpractice payouts, hospitals and doctors spend large amounts on malpractice insurance. They also drive up costs with expensive and unnecessary tests and procedures as part of costly defensive medicine.

When politicians of both parties are speaking, it’s often their favorite lobbyists who are providing the script.

Going to prison

went to prison last week.

For a day.

Well, actually only a couple hours. But I saw enough to know I don’t ever want to go back — at least not wearing the scrub-like uniform of an inmate.

I went to prison as part of a tour with a group Just called Leadership Thinking Montcalm. We

By Julie meet once a Stafford month until May and focus each session on learning about a different aspect of the county.

Last week’s class happened to start at the Montcalm County Sheriff ’s Office so we could learn about what the sheriff, district attorney, communications and emergency services departments do — things like their day-to-day operations, challenges, goals. We got to talk to our district, circuit and probate judges and I learned I could never do their jobs because I sometimes — well, lots of the time — have a hard time checking my work and emotions at the door, particularly when kids and the underdog are involved.

We also toured the Montcalm County Jail, which is an impressive operation — very structured,

T

strict and clean. But it’s not a place you’d like to spend time on the other side of the glass.

Especially if you’re like me and claustrophobic, thrive on daylight and easily spooked. Life is regimented there. You eat at a certain time. Have quiet time at a certain time. Are counted at a certain time. And everything prisoners get — be it sheets, clothing, towels — is numbered.

Apparently there’s a tendency to flush these things down the toilet. Numbering them helps guide guards back to the culprit. Pretty smart, if you ask me.

In the afternoon, we were bused to the Carson City Correctional Facility, a cluster of buildings surrounded by chainlink fences topped with a tangle of coiled barbed wire all the way around. First impressions can be deceiving. It looks to be a fairly peaceful setting on a picturesque piece of land on the outskirts of Carson City. Quiet at first.

The grounds were well maintained, lots of open, grassy spaces, basketball courts, wide sidewalks. There’s a building with a small workout room, a gymnasium where basketball and volleyball games are played, classrooms, a library, a commercial kitchen. All designed to teach the men who are prisoners here life skills and provide them an outlet for recreation. A city within a

city, of sorts. At least here, I thought, I could breathe.

But then the reality hits. At this facility, everybody is doing time. Some of them will spend the rest of their lives here.

Behind chain-link fences and barbed wire. Most of these men — except those who cannot be among the others — work. They shovel and clean and cook and sew. This prison is where all the pajamas and long underwear for the state of Michigan correctional facilities are made. Men — those who have earned a certain level of trust and show promise — sitting at rows and rows of sewing machines.

The authorities here know the game. Many of them have been here a long time and have seen it all. Attempts at making weapons.

Violence among prisoners. Even threats against their own wellbeing. Trust is not something you bring with you to your job at the Carson City Correctional Facility. And I’m sure the inmates here have no idea how good they have it.

I went to prison last week.

And I was impressed with what I saw. But sure was glad to get back on the bus to go back to my car and drive home to my house and family and freedom. juliestafford@staffordmediasolutions.com (616) 548-8260

Susceptible to satire

he item was too delicious to resist: New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, he of the don’t-worry, be-happy approach to the federal deficit, had been forced to declare personal bankruptcy.

Except, it wasn’t true. The Boots on the tidbit was satire, Ground from a website

By Ruth called The Daily Marcus Currant. The Currant’s “tell” was obvious to anyone who took introductory economics: Krugman, it said, had attempted, like a good Keynesian, to “spend his way out of debt,” after “racking up $84,000 in a single month ... in pursuit of rare Portuguese wines and 19th century English cloth” — a wink-wink reference to the classic examples of comparative advantage in international trade.

If a lie gets halfway around the world before the truth gets its pants on, imagine what bloggers in pajamas can do. We journalists used to joke about tips that were too good to check. Now it’s items too good not to repost. And so Breitbart.com, the conservative website, fell for the Krugman item, crowing about how this Keynesian “thing doesn’t really work on the micro level.”

This is in part a cautionary tale about modern journalism — the Currant piece made its way to Breitbart via an Austrian magazine translation that was then picked up by a financial blog and reposted on The Boston Globe’s website.

The more important caution, though, is what this susceptibility to satire — and it is a susceptibility that knows no ideological boundaries — illustrates about

our collective failure to understand those whose points of view differ from our own.

In a world of siloed, selfselected information flow and knee-jerk willingness to attribute irredeemable stupidity and bad motives to opponents, the inclination to assume the worst is no surprise. Information — or pseudo-information — is trusted when it clicks neatly into our jigsaw puzzle of preconceptions.

We laugh at Iran when its news agency reprints an Onion parody, “Gallup Poll: Rural Whites Prefer Ahmadinejad to Obama.” We snicker when China’s official newspaper picks up The Onion’s report that North Korean dictator Kim Jong Eun has been selected its “sexiest man alive.” No rational person would fall for either.

But you don’t have to be an insular foreign government to suffer from premature posting syndrome. The Washington Post experienced its own embarrassing episode with the Currant recently when a freelance blog contributor picked up a satirical report about Sarah Palin joining Al Jazeera America, a supposed illustration of Palin’s effort “to find ways to stay relevant while her 15 minutes fades into the political history books.”

Perhaps suspicion of the other is an inherent part of human nature. Perhaps it’s an essential element of success in politics.

Yet the phenomenon also underscores the importance of President Obama’s new charm offensive. No one should expect instant results — it’s a long way from dinner at the Jefferson to the dessert of a grand bargain — but this outreach is a useful start.

It’s much harder to leap to unfounded assumptions about the other side, and much easier to credit good intentions, if you

have spent some time hearing their point of view.

I spend a lot of time interviewing administration officials and congressional Republicans, and sometimes I think: What these people really need is a good marriage counselor, someone who can get them to stop long enough to understand the situation as the opposition sees it.

One fact, stunning to White House officials, is the degree to which many Republicans remain unaware of the substance of the administration’s offers on entitlement reform. This is symptomatic of a messaging failure on the part of the White House, but also of the poisonous environment in which both sides live.

As do their constituents. Given Washington’s gridlocked condition, it’s hard to argue with Congress’ low approval ratings.

But it’s also hard to square public contempt for Congress with the reality that most individual lawmakers of both parties are extraordinarily hardworking and serious about public policy.

A new survey from the Congressional Management Foundation and the Society for Human Resource Management reports that members of Congress put in an average 70-hour workweek when Congress is in session, and 59 hours during recess.

When it comes to Congress, the parts are greater than the sum of the whole. When it comes to politics, the satire rings truest when distrust is at its peak. If we — public officials and voters alike — could remember the first point and get past the second, we would have a better chance of fixing this mess. ruthmarcus@washpost.com © 2013, Washington Post Writers Group

Fast Break From staff and wire reports

Backus retires after 12 seasons ALLEN PARK — Jeff Backus played 12 years for the Detroit Lions, missing only one game while enduring some of the franchise’s most difficult days.

His perseverance was finally rewarded with a playoff appearance two seasons ago, and now the durable offensive lineman is comfortable calling it a career.

“It’s time for me to hang up my cleats and retire,” Backus said in a statement Thursday. “It’s a bittersweet moment, but I’m content knowing I gave everything I had, played as hard as I could and tried my best to live up to the standards I believe in.”

Backus was with the Lions his whole career after being drafted in the first round out of Michigan in 2001. He started his first 186 games — plus one playoff game — before a hamstring injury forced him to miss last year’s Thanksgiving matchup against the Houston Texans.

“He’s been a fixture on Saturdays or Sundays in the fall in Michigan for almost half his life,” team president Tom Lewand said. “We have nothing but the greatest amount of respect for him and all he’s done for this organization as a player and as a person.”

With Backus gone, Riley Reiff could step in at left tackle. Reiff was Detroit’s first-round pick in 2012.

Gosder Cherilus, another former first-round pick, left the Lions to sign with the Indianapolis Colts.

In 2011, Backus broke Hall of Fame cornerback Dick LeBeau’s team record when he made his 172nd consecutive start. Detroit went 0-16 in 2008, but the franchise’s fortunes began improving after that season, and they finally made the playoffs three years later.

Fister, Tigers cruise by Mets PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Dillon Gee couldn’t pinpoint the reason for his lack of command.

One thing he’s certain about, it’s not related to his health.

The Mets right-hander couldn’t find the plate Wednesday, giving up six runs while walking four, hitting two batters and throwing three wild pitches in New York’s 9-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers.

Gee had shoulder surgery to repair a damaged artery in July, but he had been solid his first three outings, giving up just two earned runs in nine innings going into Thursday.

Gee loaded the bases in the first on a pair of walks and a hit batter. He then walked in a run and forced in another one by plunking Matt Tuiasosopo.

Tuiasosopo made him pay the next inning, hitting a tworun homer over the left field wall with Miguel Cabrera on base. Cabrera had reached base with a two-run single.

Tigers starter Doug Fister, meanwhile, enjoyed his best outing of the spring after giving up a combined nine runs in seven innings spread over four previous appearances. He allowed just one run on three hits with two walks and four strikeouts over four innings Thursday.

Anthony Recker drove in the Mets’ only run on a single to right in the second inning.

Cabrera and Tuiasosopo both went 2 for 4 with two runs scored, combining for five RBIs.

Western Michigan defeats EMU 70-55 CLEVELAND — Shayne Whittington scored 23 points and Western Michigan pulled away from Eastern Michigan 70-55 in the quarterfinals of the Mid-American Conference tournament Thursday night.

The third-seeded Broncos (20-11), who led 36-32 at intermission, made 17 of 21 free throws in the second half compared to the seventhseeded Eagles’ 3 of 3.

Darius Paul added 14 points, David Brown 12 and Brandon Pokley 11 for Western Michigan, which plays No. 2 seed Ohio in Friday’s semifinals.

Eastern Michigan (16-18), which defeated 10th-seeded Northern Illinois and 11thseeded Miami (Ohio) in the first two rounds, led by six before the Broncos closed the first half with a 13-3 run.

Western Michigan pushed the lead to 10, but the Eagles climbed back to 50-49 on Jamell Harris’ dunk with 8:31 left.

The Broncos then used an 8-0 spurt to end the threat.

Daylen Harrison’s 14 points led Eastern Michigan.

Michigan beats Penn St. 83-66 at Big Ten tourney

By Jay Cohen

AP sports writer

CHICAGO — No costly mistakes this time. No problems at the foul line. No big turnovers, either.

When Michigan pulled away from Penn State on Thursday, Trey Burke and Co. just poured it on.

Burke scored 21 points and the sixth-ranked Wolverines beat the Nittany Lions 83-66 in the first round of the Big Ten tournament, avenging a shocking loss during the regular season.

“It was a lot of motivation coming into this game,” Michigan guard Tim Hardaway Jr. said. “We knew what they did to us at Happy Valley and we really wanted to do a great job just going into the game, sticking to the game plan, and just playing Michigan basketball.”

Hardaway and Nik Stauskas each had 15 points for the Wolverines

(26-6), who will play fourth-seeded Wisconsin in the quarterfinals on Friday. Freshman reserve Mitch McGary added 10 points and 11 rebounds, helping Michigan to a 28-15 advantage in second-chance points.

“Their bigs did a tremendous job today,” Penn State coach Patrick Chambers said. “I think that was really the difference. The bigs finished. They hurt us on the offensive glass as well.”

D.J. Newbill scored 20 points for the Nittany Lions (10-21), who faded after a fast start. Sasa Borovnjak scored 10 of his 15 points in the first half, and Ross Travis finished with 12 points and 11 rebounds.

Michigan had a chance to grab a share of the Big Ten title when it hosted Indiana last Sunday, but the Hoosiers won 72-71 after Jordan Morgan’s last-second putback rolled off the rim. The Wolverines then

slipped all the way to the fifth seed for the conference tournament, giving them a game on the first day at the United Center while the top four seeds rested.

The one payoff was a chance to avenge a shaky performance against the Nittany Lions two weeks ago, when Michigan blew a 15-point lead

in the second half of an 84-78 loss.

This one had a much different finish, with the Wolverines breaking open a close game with an 18-3 run in the second half. Hardaway got it started with a jumper and Morgan added a layup to make it 50-45 with 13:36 left. After Jermaine Marshall scored inside for Penn State, Burke made another jumper and the rout was on.

Jon Horford converted a threepoint play and Hardaway dunked on a fast break to extend the lead to 64-48 with 9:49 remaining.

“They played some great basketball, that’s all I can say,” Newbill said.

“They hit shots, we missed shots.

They got stops, we didn’t. Can’t say much more than that.”

Now Michigan gets another chance for revenge when it takes on the Badgers, who rallied for a 65-62 victory over the Wolverines on Feb. 9 in one of the best games of the year.

Belding girls season a tale of two halves

By Chip Burch

Daily News sports writer

BELDING — If things seemed different in Belding’s girls basketball season, it’s because things changed drastically in the second half of the season.

“The first half of the season went great,” Belding first-year coach Brad Wilson said. “We played really well, we progressed each week. Then about Christmas time we hit a streak where we had some injuries, we had some sickness, and one girl that had a family situation. Because of that we played shorthanded. We had some key players that missed the second half of the season.”

In the end, the Redskins finished 9-12 on the season. Wilson would have liked to have seen a different result, but he saw results in other things he was happy with.

“There were a couple of pillars we wanted and one of those was being able to qualify for academic allstate,” he said, which Belding did. “We also wanted to stress the social aspect. As a coach, I wanted to set those standards and goals that was new. We wanted to stick to it when we were successful and when we struggled.”

The Redskins had two players who made O-K Blue Conference honors.

Mackenzie Briemayer was all-conference as was Stefanie Harig, though Harig was honorable mention.

But there were others who Wilson mentioned as important players.

“Rachel Hunt was a junior,” he said. “She got injured later in the season, but for three quarters of the season she played hard.

She really did all the little things that don’t end up in the scorebook, but gives your team a chance to win.

She wants to do anything that will help our team win.”

Belding’s winner of the most improved player award was Monica Baylis.

“She (Baylis) played the five for us and started every game,” Wilson said. “She

Belding freshman Peyton Mount moves the ball down the court during a game this season for the Redskins.

“Our entire starting five is coming back so we have a lot of experience coming back. We have a balance of offensive and defensive players.”

Brad Wilson Belding coach was undersized and being a sophomore she was underdeveloped against most of the girls she faced. She did a nice job rebounding and playing inside. I think if we put some muscle on her she could do really well next year.”

Wilson also mentioned Peyton Mount, Greta Wilker, Haylee Batzer and Katie Wood.

Wilson said he will have three starters that will be seniors next season and another four players who got a start during the season. That has him optimistic for next year.

“Our entire starting five is coming back so we have a lot of experience coming

back,” he said. “We have a nice balance of offensive and defensive players. Any time you have a big transition from one coach to another there’s going to be a learning curve but next year the things will already be in place and they will hit the ground running.”

In fact, Wilson has 12 scrimmages and two practices scheduled during the two weeks of contact allowed by the MHSAA over the summer. Last summer those numbers were reversed.

“We have great depth and I’m hoping we make a run next year,” he said. cburch@staffordmediasolutions.com (616) 548-8255

EAST LANSING — The impact Grand Haven senior Abby Cole has made on the basketball court for the Buccaneers’ girls basketball program speaks for itself.

In her three years at the varsity level, Cole has helped the Bucs tally an astonishing 77-2 record, which includes last season’s thrilling comefrom-behind victory over Grosse Pointe South in the Class A state championship at the Breslin Center in East Lansing. Grand Haven erased an 18-point secondhalf deficit to capture the program’s first-ever state title. Cole played a crucial role in the comeback win, as she had 18 points, eight rebounds and eight blocked shots — cementing her as a true game-changer on the biggest stage.

Cole, a 6-foot-5 center who can reach 10-5 ½ on her vertical jump, has further bolstered that reputation during her senior season, as she’s led the Bucs to a 24-0 record, a No. 3 ranking in Class A and a berth in the regional semifinals. She’s averaging 13.9 points, 9.6 rebounds and 7.9 blocks in about 25 minutes per game and was a finalist for the Miss Basketball award.

For her tremendous achievements, Cole is the Associated Press Class A Player of the Year, as selected by a panel of sports writers from across the state.

Cole headlines a talented and versatile group of AllState players in Class A, which includes sophomore forward Erika Davenport of Clarkston; senior guard Sydni Davis of SouthfieldLathrup; senior guard Sami Stormont of Royal Oak; senior guard Victoria Milton of Lansing Waverly; senior guard Kolbie Brow of Davison; senior center Claire DeBoer of Grosse Pointe South; senior guard/forward Antania Hayes of Detroit King; senior guard Paris McLeod of Inkster; junior guard Jessica Walter of Midland; and senior center Allie Havers of Mattawan.

Cole started receiving recruiting interest from Division I college basketball programs during her sophomore season at Grand Haven, but her heart had led her to another court — volleyball. The runner-up for this year’s Miss Volleyball award, Cole has signed to play the sport at Michigan, meaning this hoops season will be her last.

Davenport is the lone sophomore on the All-State squad, but produced like a senior. She tallied 18 doubledoubles during the regular season, while averaging 18.2 points, 13.2 rebounds and shooting 60 percent from the field.

Davis directed the point in arguably one of the best backcourts in the state at Southfield-Lathrup. She poured in 16.4 points per game, dished out nearly five assists, grabbed 3.5 rebounds and swiped 3.5 steals for a squad that went 18-4.

Stormont was Royal Oak’s scoring machine this winter,

including a 42-point performance against Ferndale on Jan. 25. The Northwoodbound Stormont averaged 21.8 points per game and is the program’s all-time leading scorer.

Milton wore the No. 1 jersey well for Waverly, as the dynamic point guard averaged nearly 16 points a game, to go along with 5.8 assists and 3.5 steals.

Brow was another player who starred at the point guard position and led Davison on a 21-game winning streak. She averaged 13.5 points and 8.6 assists per game.

DeBoer banged with Cole in last season’s state title game and has flourished again during her senior season. The 6-foot-2 DeBoer averages 13.5 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and 3.5 steals a game. She’s signed to play at Bucknell.

Hayes is the top player on No. 1-ranked Detroit King.

She was just shy of averaging a triple-double this season with 16 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists per game.

She was a finalist for the Miss Basketball award and will play at DePaul.

McLeod, the sweet shooting 5-7 guard for Inkster, has put up averages of 20.5 points, seven assists and five steals for the Vikings, who suffered their first loss of the season in the district semifinals. McLeod has signed with Evansville.

The Indiana-bound Walter of Midland is a tough matchup as a 5-11 point guard. She produced averages of 22.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 3.2 steals for the Chemics.

Havers matches Cole in height at 6-5, but the Mattawan talent is asked to do much more on the floor, including bringing the ball up against pressure and shooting from the outside.

Havers, who will play hoops at Nebraska, averaged 18.8 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 3.2 blocks.

Jillian Michaels weighs in with a weight-loss book goodie.

“I still drink a little bit of alcohol,” she confides. “And I haven’t been to the gym in five days!”

No wonder. There’s this grueling book tour on top of an always-heavy workload, plus the routine demands of parenting a 3-year-old daughter and an 11-month-old son who, along with her partner, Heidi Rhoades, have come with her on this recent New York visit.

By Stacie tripping up on the language.

Rose Author James Marsden is an Australian writer, and perhaps I was too easily distracted by the alternate spellings of various words or the use of slang that is unique to Australian teens. This alone slowed my typical reading pace and caused me to re-read lines more than once.

It is about a group of teens about to complete their last year of the equivalent of high school and they set out to camp in the wild.

Marsden does a fine job of describing the surroundings in which the groups is exploring, so I was able to visualize where their curiosity lead them.

However, due to a slow start and my inability to relate to any of the characters, I was left less impressed with this book.

NEW YORK — Jillian Michaels orders two eggs over easy with a smidgeon of oil and two slices of dry toast.

And coffee.

Coffee?! “Two strong cups, 400 milligrams, fights pancreatic cancer,” she says, “plus Alzheimer’s, Type 2 diabetes and improves cognitive functions.”

Not that Michaels is a health-nut goodie-

battle to lose weight and be healthy. “Even if you’re just standing while you’re talking on the phone,” she offers, “you can burn up to 300 calories in a day.”

That’s the sort of forgiving advice found in her latest book, “Slim for Life: My Insider Secrets to Simple, Fast and Lasting Weight Loss” (Harmony Books).

“It’s my softest approach to weight loss,” says Michaels, a wellness coach to whom the word “soft” is seldom applied.

Barberi pens ‘Divorce Book’

By The Daily News

(:01) Shipping Wars (:31) Shipping Wars

; ; (5:00) Movie: ›› “Godzilla” (1998) : : Amish Mafia ’ Å

by an unyielding tyrant, Nurse Ratched (Jessica Gilbertson), who has cowed the patients (most of whom are there voluntarily) into dejected submission. When Mac sees how submissive the patients are under Ratched’s tyrannical control, he resolves to antagonize her and undermine her authority as much as possible. Mac takes over the ward and leads the others out of introversion, staging a revolt so they can see the World Series on television and arranging a rollicking midnight party with liquor, chippies and a couple prostitutes (Lindsay Tallian and Amanda Estill-Lofts).

“Cuckoo’s Nest” features a cast of unforgettable supporting characters, from the stoic “Chief ” Bromden (Scott Wahlfedlt), a muscular Native American who has schizophrenia, to Billy Bibbit (Alex Wahlfeldt), a suicidal, stuttering manchild whom Ratched has humiliated and dominated into a quivering mess. The background noise of the many inmates (Kilo Mathewson, Adam Ellsworth, Martin Rodgers, Jeremiah Souza, Ric Davenport) and orderlies (Tomas Negron, Patrick Fuller, Marisa Clark, Matt Lofts), as well as their status as pawns in the ongoing chess match between McMurphy and Ratched, breathes life into the story.

While the issue of patient abuse in mental wards has long since become old news (thanks in part to the novel written by Ken Kesey), the universal issues of human dignity and compassion are what ultimately make this play tick.

Performances will be April 19-21 and 26-27 at the Greenville Area Community Center. Tickets go on sale Monday, March 25th. Tickets can be ordered online at flatriver.showclix.com/ or by calling 1-888-71-TICKETS. Tickets may be purchased through the Players’ Facebook page as well. Search for the FRCP-Flat River Community Players page (be sure to Like it once you find it) and see the Get Tickets link.

Tickets also may be purchased at the door on the day of the performance. Anyone having problems with online purchase should call box office manager Julie Jakeway at (616) 874-9761.

King of Queens

MOUNT PLEASANT — Attorney Joseph T. Barberi’s newly released book, “The Divorce Book: What Every Michigan Married Man or Woman Needs to Know,” will give many Michiganians plenty of information they may need to know about the state’s divorce process.

Barberi’s book is designed to help Michigan residents understand the ramifications of divorce. His book guides readers through decisions, such as whether to consult a lawyer, where to begin when they feel like their marriage cannot be saved and h ow to approach the issues dividing parenting time and custody.

It also covers the emotional, financial and legal aspects of divorce, and answers questions like, “How do I protect myself financially if I am going through a divorce?” and “How much will my divorce case cost in terms of attorney fees and expense?”

“Joseph Barberi does a great job simplifying a very complex, emotional and sometimes contentious life changing event,” said Paul Murray, who read the book. “I’ve been practicing business valuation and taxation in the divorce area for over 30 years and wish Joe’s book had been available sooner.”

Lynn Simons also read the book and said “Barberi covers divorce from A to Z. He advocates for the children, through the divorce, and guides parents in being good parents, even while divorcing.”

Another reader, Margo Heintz, also commented: “If you are thinking about divorce, or in the process in the state of Michigan, I highly recommend this book,” she said.

“It provides valuable information in an easy to understand way. It will take the mystery out of the potentially emotionally charged issue of divorce. This book addresses every aspect of the divorce process…from the beginning to its aftermath. This book will help alleviate your fears that come from a lack of basic knowledge.”

A Kindle version of “The Divorce Book” is now available for $9.95 at Amazon.com Printed copies will be available for $16.95 plus shipping and handling in 30 days at BN.com, Amazon.com and WordAssociation.com.

Barberi, a native to Mount Pleasant, earned his undergraduate degree at Central Michigan University (CMU).

After honorably serving in the U.S. Navy, he attended Detroit College of Law, where he graduated with honors. Barberi has now been practicing law in Mount Pleasant for more than 30 years.

He has been voted the No. 1 attorney in the Central Michigan area for 12 consecutive years by CMU’s newspaper, CM Life and the community’s newspaper, the Morning Sun.

Obituary Robert John “Bob” Reed, 53 GREENVILLE — Bob Reed, 53, of Greenville, passed away on Thursday, March 14, 2013. He is now at peace and pain free after a brief and courageous battle with cancer.

Bob loved golf, the city of Greenville, the University of Michigan athletics, but above all, he loved his friends and family.

The focus of his life was encouraging and celebrating the dayto-day with those he loved. He was always willing to extend a Robert hand to address any need, Reed expecting nothing in return.

He will be loving remembered by his wife, Lori; son, Nick; parents, Ken and Kathy Reed; sister, Debbie (Steve) Abbott; brother, Rich (Karen) Reed; sister-in-law, Lisa (Steve) Day; brother-in-law, Joe (Lydia) Loeschner; several devoted nieces and nephews along with untold faithful friends.

Big hearted to the end, Bob reveled at the birthday party of a lifetime with several hundred life-long friends just four days before passing into eternity. Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God. Visitation will be Sunday from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Marshall Funeral Home, Greenville. Funeral and committal services will be 11 a.m. Monday, March 18, at the First Congregational Church, Greenville, with Pastor Jerry Jones officiating.

CRYPTOQUIP

D

ear Amy: I am lucky enough to have both parents still living and in general good health. They live independently in senior housing. I realize that with age comes a certain amount of “slowing down,” however, one thing that seems to be slipping a little for them is general hygiene.

Sometimes they just smell a little “off,” have greasy hair, bad breath or stray hairs growing in odd places. My mother has decided that they don’t really need to wash their clothes often because they don’t get dirty.

Well, they actually do get dirty — sometimes with small unseen spills or with daily human body odor that builds up after several wearings. Their facility does not have care available, otherwise I would ask for an assistant to clue them in.

How do I bring this up without hurting the feelings of my Dear parents? — Querying Daughter Dear Daughter: Sometimes older people lose some of their sense of smell (medications can cause this), along with other changes in their perceptions.

You can broach this by offering to help with some of the little daily chores and hygiene issues which might have become difficult for them. Tell your parents: “Sometimes it smells a little stale in here when I come in. How about I do your laundry for you every Saturday? We’ll change the sheets together and launder all of your clothes.”

Go through their closets with them to make sure they have clothes that they like and are easy for them to put on. Make sure their toothbrushes, cups, etc., are easy for them to use (there are great “adaptive” products available).

Also — please — offer to help them with their hair, etc. It may be challenging for them to see clearly what is out of place, and it might have become physically difficult to wash thoroughly. In my experience this sort of personal care offers a level of intimacy that might be beautiful for all of you.

If all of this would be too tough for you (or them), hiring a caregiver to come in to assist them a couple of afternoons a week could be the answer.

SUDOKU

ear Amy: I am a professional woman in my mid20s, and I recently split from my boyfriend of three years. I am moving out of our shared apartment.

Prior to moving in together, I got rid of a lot of my household items. Now, in my single state, in addition to replacing those small things, I also find myself having to make some much larger purchases for furniture.

I have a birthday coming up and plan to throw a brunch party. Is it inappropriate or tacky to have a small gift registry for my birthday?

There are some things I really need. Is there a way to tactfully let them know that some household items under $20 would be preferred? — Suddenly Single Dear Single: You can approach this awkwardness by throwing yourself an “I’m Suddenly Single” birthday bash/apartment-warming party. Instead of a registry, you could ask your guests to help restock your kitchen with small implements. You cook the eggs — they bring the wooden spoons, dish towels, etc.

This leaves some room for your friends to be creative and personal with their giving, which I think most people enjoy.

ear Amy: Regarding reader responses to the letter from “Joan,” who wondered if she should use a monetary gift for a dream trip or play it safe and use it for retirement: I am a hospice social worker. I have talked with many, many people about life decisions and regrets. Not one person has ever said he or she regrets not having more money. Most people wish they had taken advantage of opportunities for experiences it is too late to have.

I’m not suggesting we all live like grasshoppers. I work some extra shifts to pay for long-term care insurance. But it also helps to realize none of us is guaranteed a tomorrow, no matter what we do or how well we plan. — Hospice Worker Dear Worker: Working with people at the end of life certainly gives you an important perspective on how to live.

Thank you.

Jacqueline BIGAR’S STARS HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, March 15, 2013: This year you communicate with precision because you want others to receive your message. Unfortunately, you can’t control others’ responses; however, you can clarify and confirm that they understand you. TAURUS not only is stubborn, but he or she also can be rigid.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) *** You might be concerned about an associate’s comment that could affect your security.

Try not to worry so much. You will work better with someone on a one-on-one level. Your thoughts are subject to change if you remain more open. Touch base with a friend. Tonight: Your treat.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ***** Work with someone’s ideas regarding a problem. You can’t change this person’s mood, but you can affect his or her thinking in a discussion. This individual tends to see the negative side of things. Open his or her eyes if you can. Tonight: Follow someone else’s lead.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) *** Sometimes you push too hard, which results in fatigue or even a low-level depression.

One of the best decisions you could make is to take a day or two off. You might be surprised at how a change of routine could turn your energy and attitude around. Tonight: Be a bit less findable.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) **** Zero in on a long-term goal. Do that, and a slip-up in your daily life might be less aggravating or disappointing. A child or new love interest seems closed down. Do not respond to any negativity, and stay centered ... everything will work out. Tonight: Follow the gang.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) *** Accept your responsibilities, and you will get a lot accomplished. Others naturally observe what you do. A loved one might feel dejected, as this person seems to think that you don’t have time to help him or her deal with a problem. Tonight: Out and about to the wee hours.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) **** Your ability to stay out of problems and detach from heated situations proves remarkable once more. You come up with solutions with ease. Someone might be taken aback at how authoritarian your style might be.

Tonight: Make a call to or email someone at distance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) **** Discuss a key issue with a partner. Your caring is evident, but the other party might not be very responsive. Fatigue could be a factor. Change the conversation, and try to find a more effective approach. Both of you will express more enthusiasm as a result. Tonight: Let someone else treat.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) *** Curb your cynicism; otherwise, you could ruin the best of times. You seem determined to express your feelings. If you are going to rain on someone’s parade, why not just go home? Wouldn’t that be the best solution for everyone involved? Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) *** You are willing to pitch in to help others out. You might feel as if someone assumes too much, or that he or she might be too confident in your abilities. Act on your feelings, but take a moment before giving this person a reaction. Tonight: Meet up with friends.

TGIF! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) **** While others seem to be hitting a wall, you are able to bypass them because of an unusual creative bent. In fact, you’ll see solutions right and left.

It’s OK to share them, as others will appreciate your thoughts and feedback. Tonight: Enjoy a romantic evening at home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) *** You won’t be able to avoid certain priorities, no matter what you do. Even if you’re at work, your mind might tend to wander to a recent decision involving your domestic life. Don’t take action just yet, as there are other possibilities. Tonight: You can’t control everyone’s behavior.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) **** Stay more sensitive to the moment. Note what others might not be saying, and ask questions about vague information. Provide comfort by allowing others to feel safe. News from a distance could be distressing, but know that it is not the whole story. Tonight: Join work friends. ©2013, King Features Syndicate Inc.
