Preowned car sales increasing By y CRYSTAL GARCIA Times Herald

Rick French noticed a lot of shoppers when he was looking for a used car. “There was quite a few walking around the lot,” the Marysville resident said. “There always seemed to be somebody in their showroom or offices when I was there.” Following a national trend, local dealers are reporting high demand for used cars. Michael Guizar, owner of Michaels Car Centers in Port Huron and Kimball Township, said business was up 60% this April from last April. There’s a flip side, however, to the robust used car market: With new car production decreasing, fewer people leasing and Cash for Clunkers taking about 700,000 cars out of the used car market, dealers say maintaining adequate supply is becoming difficult, leaving buyers with fewer choices. “We have to hunt harder and visit more sites that See USED, Page 2A

Port Huron eliminated vote in August By y LIZ SHEPARD Times Herald

Unlike in many other municipalities, people interested in running for the Port Huron City Council have a bit more time to file their petitions. The deadline is 4 p.m. Aug. 16 as the city approved a new charter that eliminated primary elections as a cost-saving measure. Terms for the mayor and six council members expire this November.

Sue Child, city clerk, said the election will start a new rotation approved in the new charter. Candidates will have to decide if they are running for mayor or the council. The top vote-getter in the race for mayor will serve a two-year term. The top three candidates for council will serve fouryear terms, expiring in 2015. The next three highest vote getters will serve two-year terms.

Child said when those terms are up in 2013, the new council members will serve four-year terms. Before the charter change, the council selected the mayor from within its ranks, and council members were elected every two years. The change narrowly was approved — 3,321 to 3,012 — in November.

David G. Fredrick and Crystal Topor are in the race for a two-year term as clerk. Candidates in races for treasurer and three city council seats are unopposed. In Marine City’s nonpartisan primary, voters will narrow the field of three mayoral candidates — incumbent Charles R. Browne, Bob Lepley and Rosalie Skwiers — to two with the top vote-getters facing off Nov. 8 for a two-year term. There will not be a primary in the race for City Commission. In that race, six candidates — Lisa Hendrick, Rebecca Lepley, Howard Draft, Raymond Meli, Danny L. Micoff and Raymond Skotarczyk — vying for three, four-year terms will be decided in November.

Neither St. Clair nor Marysville will have an August primary because too few candidates filed.

All positions are for two-year terms. In Marysville, three newcomers — Paul Wessel, Gary Coaster and Dan Damman — are in the running for three, four-year terms on the City Council. Incumbent Tom Anglebrandt is seeking re-election. Port Huron, Richmond, Croswell, Brown City and Sandusky will have candidates on the Nov. 8 ballot. The filing deadline for those races is Aug. 16.

Ex-GM chief Robert Stempel dies By y TOM KRISHER The Associated Press

DETROIT — Former General Motors Co. Chief Executive Officer Robert Stempel, an engineer who led the development of the catalytic converter but was ousted in a boardroom coup, died Saturday in Florida. He was 77. During his three decades at the company Stempel helped to develop many of the fuel-efficient and pollution-control technologies still in use today including front-wheel-drive cars, the catalytic converter and even battery powered cars. Stempel was chairman and CEO from 1990 to1992. “He is the best engineer I’ve ever worked with in the world,” said Stan Ovshin-

sky, who ran Energy Conversion Devices, a car battery development company where Stempel worked after leaving GM. But Stempel’s accomplishments as an engineer were overshadowed by his short tenure at the top of the company. He and his management team were forced out after GM’s North American operations lost billions of dollars. While he wasn’t blamed for all the losses, Stempel and his team were seen as moving too slowly to fix the company’s problems. The New Jersey native earned a bachelor’s degree in science at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts and a master’s in business administration

from Michigan State University, according to GM’s Heritage Center website. Stempel started out at Oldsmobile in 1958 as a detailer in chassis design and was part of the team in 1966 that helped develop the Toronado. He designed the car’s front suspension and developed the mounting system for the engine and transmission. It was the first American frontwheel-drive car in nearly three decades. Most cars today are frontwheel-drive. They are lighter and more efficient than rear-wheel-drives. In the 1970s, Stempel recognized the need to cut pollution and make cars more efficient, helping lead a companywide shift to smaller, more efficient vehicles, said Lloyd Reuss, a former GM president. Stempel led the develop-

ment of the catalytic converter, which uses precious metals such as platinum to convert the harmful gases from combustion into less harmful ones. He later was named vice president and group executive in charge of the BuickOldsmobile-Cadillac group and executive vice president of GM. Stempel and Reuss “were the favorite two to ascend to the top of the corporation on the strength of their technical knowledge,” said Gerald Meyers, a professor at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan and former president, chief executive and chair of the American Motors Corp. “They were stalwarts in the company in design and engineering, and even production of some of the vehicles,” Meyers said.

Students reach out to slap the hand of BMX stunt rider Tim Tacie, 38, of Port Huron, on Tuesday during the bicycle helmet safety program “Helmetfest” at Michigamme Elementary School. Port Huron Hospital’s Helmet Safety Committee organized the event. MELISSA WAWZYSKO/TIMES HERALD

It’s cool to be hard-headed Group preaches helmet use to area elementary By y AMY BIOLCHINI Times Herald

When it comes to riding a bike or skateboarding, buckling the straps of a helmet isn’t always the first thing on children’s minds. That’s why Port Huron Hospital’s Helmet Safety Committee brings “Helmetfest” to students in after-school programs at eight area elementary schools each year. For about 30 students at Michigamme Elementary School, it was their turn Tuesday to receive bike helmets, neon T T-shirts, shirts,

bags and bicycle lights for nighttime riding. As a part of the presentation, a group of five local BMX riders put on a show of tricks and stunts in the elementary school’s front driveway. Ramping off a 3-foot-tall box jump, the riders wowed the students and then instructed them to stay safe. “What do we all have in common?” bicyclist Austin Russell said to the crowd of children. “You’re all wearing helmets!” they screamed back excitedly. St. Clair County

D.A.R.E. Officer Cyndy King said she hopes the students realize after watching the BMX riders they can wear their helmets and still look cool. “We’re hoping that after they see the demonstration that they see a need for helmets and are more committed to wearing them,” King said. Michigan has no law requiring bicyclists to wear helmets, although King said that’s not an excuse to not wear them. Bicyclists younger than 16 accounted for 13% of all bicyclists killed and 25% of those injured in traffic crashes in 2008, according to data released in 2010 by the National Highway Traffic Safety

Worth board accepts resignations By y JULIANNE MATTERA Times Herald

WORTH TWP. — Worth Township is closer to filling vacancies on its board of trustees. And it could have a full board by the end of May, Supervisor Philip Essenmacher said. The township board of trustees successfully accepted the resignations of trustee Leon McKay and Sharon Lee Patton, a trustee and deputy clerk, at a special meeting Monday, Essenmacher said. After a 2-1 vote, the board a so appointed also appo ted a new ew trustt ust

ee, Jack Wylie, who will serve through November 2012. Walter Badgerow also applied for the posiPhilip Essenmacher tion. Patton, Essenmacher and Treasurer Jennifer Woodruff attended the meeting — enough to constitute a quorum for the five-member board. “I’m happy that Lee Patton showed up to the meeting so t at we could that cou d finish s up tthe e

resignation process, and I look forward to establishing a full board,” Essenmacher said. “With the full board, we will be able to review our current financial situation and establish fiscal stability.” Patton also Monday resigned from her deputy clerk position, Essenmacher said. Patton — whose resignation letter pertained to her trustee and deputy clerk positions — previously said she would continue her duties as deputy clerk until an interim clerk was appo ted. appointed.

First lady to help grieving children By KATHY BARKS HOFFMAN The Associated Press

LANSING — Sue Snyder

said Tuesday it seemed “like the right fit” to take on the plight of grieving children as her cause while she’s Michigan’s first lady. The wife of Gov. Rick Snyder and mother of three is taking on the role of spokeswoman for the Michigan Network for Grieving Children to promote access to resources for children who have lost a parent, sibling or someone close to them. The network has been launched by Ele’s Ele s Place, a

nonprofit organization that offers free support services for grieving children and their families in Lansing and Ann Arbor. It’s traditional for the spouses of Michigan governor’s spouses to take on a cause while their wife or husband is in office. Former Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s husband, Dan Mulhern, promoted mentoring during Granholm’s eight years in office. Sue Snyder said Tuesday her first concern since her husband took office Jan. 1 has been helping her family adjust to his schedule and the demands of his job. But

she also has Sue Snyder y been considering a broader role. “I felt that I wanted to do something, and I chose very carefully,” she told reporters. The network “just seemed like the right fit. ... It’s a great resource.” The first lady will be involved in a statewide campaign to draw attention to the grieving children network through billboards and public service announcements. She’s also the honorary chairwoman of the Ele’s Place spring fundraising reception Thursday at the Travis Pointe Country Club in Ann Arbor.

Former Township Clerk Marcella Bartniczak was recalled by township voters on May 3. Essenmacher said township residents interested in filling the vacant trustee and clerk positions can submit applications and resumes to the township until May 18. He said the board of trustees will interview applicants during its regular May 18 meeting at 6:30 p.m. But it’s uncertain whether a new trustee and clerk will be appointed that night, he added. The trustee’s term will run t oug Nove through November be 2012. 0 . The e

interim clerk will serve until the Aug. 2 election. At that time, residents will be given a chance to vote for a clerk whose term is through November 2012. The township also is searching for a certified public accountant to help review its “financial books,” Essenmacher said. “There are a lot of ... errors in the clerk’s side of the township’s books, as well as a lot of entry information and filing that our new clerk will need help with,” he said.

Voters say Snyder doing a poor job By KATHY BARKS HOFFMAN The Associated Press

LANSING — The number of likely Michigan voters who say Gov. Rick Snyder’s doing a poor job has jumped significantly in the past two months, according to poll released Tuesday by Lansing-based EPIC-MRA. In late February, only 36% gave the Republican governor who promised to “reinvent” Michigan a negative job rating. In the latest poll of 600 likely voters, the percentage climbed to 60%. Only a third gave him a positive job rating, while 8% were undecided.

The governor wasn’t fazed by the poll results any more than he has been upset by repeated Capitol rallies protesting his policies. “I believe I have strong support from the general public and that’s continued in a very positive way in respect to all the reinvention projects we’ve got going,” he told reporters Tuesday. Opinions of Snyder overall were about evenly split, with 41% saying they had a favorable opinion of the governor, 43% expressing a negative opinion and 16% undecided. More than half said Michigan is on the wrong track.

Supporters push tax plan Snyder’s proposal could face stiff test in Senate By y TIM MARTIN The Associated Press

LANSING — Republican Gov. Rick Snyder’s administration on Tuesday attempted to win over some lawmakers who are skeptical of a broad plan that would change the state’s business and income tax structure. Lt. Gov. Brian Calley outlined the proposal for the Senate’s Reforms, Restructuring and Reinventing Committee, saying the plan would help improve the state’s business climate. The tax proposal narrowly passed the Republican-led House last month and could face a stiff test in the GOPled Senate, with a vote possible as early as this week. Calley said Michigan’s current tax and budget system hasn’t been successful as an economic development model.

“That’s what we know for certain, is that today does not work,� Calley said. “So what we’re asking is for this group of policymakers to step away from the past that may be comfortable, but is a failure, and into the future.� Supporters are making “very good progress� lining up votes, Snyder said Tuesday afternoon. The governor’s plan would cut overall business taxes by roughly $1 billion in the fiscal year starting Oct. 1 and $1.7 billion in the year after that. The key would be adopting a 6% corporate income tax while eliminating many types of tax credits and exemptions. Supporters say the plan is designed to help small businesses while making the overall system fairer and more consistent.

U.P. power outage affects businesses The Associated Press

MARQUETTE — A lightning strike disabled two transmission lines that serve Michigan’s central and western Upper Peninsula, leaving tens of thousands without power for hours Tuesday. Numerous schools were closed and some businesses idled, including the Tilden and Empire iron mines in Marquette County. Crews in helicopters and on foot were inspecting the power lines and towers for damage while others worked to restore electricity to darkened homes. Upper Peninsula Power Co.’s 50,000 affected customers were receiving power by midafternoon, spokeswoman Lisa Prunty said. About 27,000 customers served by We Energies were back online by 8 a.m., spokesman Brian Manthey said. The lightning bolt hit two lines that transmit power between Oconto Falls, Wis., and Kingsford about 3:30 a.m., said Anne Spaltholz, spokeswoman for American Transmission Co.,

which owns and operates the lines. With another line in the area down for maintenance, a large swath of the Upper Peninsula was without power, from Munising to Escanaba and west to the Keweenaw Peninsula. “Essentially, we had a blackout,� Spaltholz told The Mining Journal of Marquette. With three key lines out of service, the system became unstable and triggered the shutdown of Presque Isle Power Plant in Marquette, which supplies the iron mines. They had enough power to keep the lights on in their offices but were unable to process iron ore, said Dale Hemmila, spokesman for Cliffs Natural Resources, which operates the mines. “To run these operations we average 270 megawatts on a daily basis, and we’re nowhere near that right now,� Hemmila said early Tuesday afternoon. The company still didn’t have enough juice to operate Tuesday evening but was hoping to return to normal today.

Some exemptions on retiree income would end. Those 67 and older as of Jan. 1, 2012, would continue to get the same tax breaks they have now, while taxes would apply to some retirement income for those ages 60 to 66. Income from Social Security and military pensions would remain exempt. The state’s Earned Income Tax Credit for low-income workers would be kept, but it would be scaled down. It’s now worth 20% of the federal credit but would drop to 6% under the new plan. Some earlier Republicanbacked plans would have virtually eliminated the state EITC. A scheduled rollback of the state’s personal income tax rate, now 4.35%, would be delayed. Republicans hold a 26-12 advantage over Democrats in the Senate but some GOP lawmakers have come out against the plan. The retiree income taxes and lack of previously scheduled roll roll-

backs in the income tax rate are the biggest sticking points for some Republicans. “A lot of people feel very strongly about this,� said state Sen. Jack Brandenburg, R-Harrison Township, who opposes the measure. Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville, R-Monroe, said he feels “real good� about where supporters are at lining up votes to pass the measure. “I don’t think we’re going to have a problem,� Richardville said. “But like every other piece of difficult decision-making, it’s not easy. People are really weighing their options and boiling it down to their root beliefs.� Democrats are generally against the plan. Sen. Rebekah Warren, D-Ann Arbor, said the plan hurts senior citizens and low-income residents while providing “death by a thousand cuts� to the middle class.

IN BRIEF GM execs’ lawsuit targets lost benefits DETROIT — More than

100 former General Motors executives are suing the company, saying their pension benefits were illegally cut. The cuts were made in 2009 while GM was trying to rebuild itself in bankruptcy court. The Detroit News said the plaintiffs include former vice president John Middlebrook, who helped launch the Saturn brand. The lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court said pensions worth more than $100,000 a year were cut by two-thirds. GM has acknowledged saving billions of dollars by reducing pension benefits and health care for retirees. The automaker had no immediate comment on the lawsuit. The retirees or surviving spouses live across the U.S. and in Europe.

The Benton Harbor company said the U.S. District Court in Chicago ruled its dryers use steam and that there was no “expert testimony or credible evidence of even a single Whirlpool customer, retailer, or trade representative who expressed confusion.� Whirlpool said the court decided against giving LG any relief in the last remaining claim in the 2008 lawsuit. —From wire reports

Memphis escapes most river wrath The Mississippi crest rolled past Memphis on Tuesday, going easy on much of the city, yet downriver in the mostly poor, fertile Delta region, floodwaters washed away crops, damaged hundreds of homes and closed casinos key to Mississippi’s economy. In Vicksburg, home of a pivotal Civil War battle, the river was forecast to peak slightly above the record set during the flood of 1927. The Mississippi crested in Memphis at nearly 48 feet on Tuesday, falling short of its all-time record but still soaking low-lying areas with enough water to require a massive cleanup. Shelby County and four others were declared disaster areas by President Obama, which means that they’ll be eligible for muchneeded federal disaster aid.

Japan rethinks nuclear energy policy Japan will scrap a plan to obtain half its electricity from nuclear power and will instead promote renewable energy and conservation as a result of its ongoing nuclear crisis, the prime minister said Tuesday. Naoto Kan said Japan needs to “start from scratch” on its long-term energy policy after the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant was heavily damaged by a March 11 earthquake and tsunami and began leaking radiation. Nuclear plants supplied about 30% of Japan’s electricity, and the government had planned to raise that to 50% by 2030.

Tripoli bombed; rebels claim gains NATO warplanes struck a command center in Tripoli on Tuesday in the heaviest bombing of the Libyan capital in weeks, while rebels — capitalizing on other NATO air strikes — reported battlefront gains that could ease the siege of the port city of Misrata. The NATO planes struck what the alliance called a command and control facility in downtown Tripoli, according to Italian Brig. Gen. Claudio Gabellini. The rebels’ military spokesman, Col. Ahmed Bani, said opposition forces had pushed Gadhafi’s troops out of rocket range on the west side of Misrata.

Syria troops tighten grip By y BASSEM MROUE The Associated Press

BEIRUT — Tanks and troops rolled into southern villages near the heart of Syria’s anti-government uprising Tuesday, while officials in Washington said the U.S. administration is edging closer to calling for an end to the Assad family’s long rule after its violent suppression of the protests. The Syrian military has been sealing off various areas and conducting house-to-house raids in search of people whose names are on wanted lists, with many people fleeing for fear of detention by President Bashar Assad’s regime, activists say. A human rights group reported Tuesday that more than 750 people have been killed in the crackdown. In Washington, Obama administration officials said the first step in a new American approach toward Syria would be to declare that Assad has forfeited his legitimacy to rule, a policy shift that would amount to a call for regime change. The tougher U.S. line almost certainly would echo demands for “democratic transition” that the administration used in Egypt and is now espousing in Libya, the officials said.

WASHINGTON — Leaders of the nation’s largest police organizations, briefed in the aftermath of the raid on Osama bin Laden’s Pakistani compound, have been told that there are no immediate threats of reprisals or active terror plots that have been gleaned from an initial review of intelligence seized from the compound, police officials told USA TODAY. The briefing came after federal officials advised local law enforcement officials to raise their guard against possible retaliation immediately following the killing of the alQaeda founder.

Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey, president of the Major City Chiefs Association, said the classified briefing late last week by the FBI yielded “no direct threats at all.” Those briefed included representatives of the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the National Sheriffs Association. The FBI’s briefing and the series of alerts represent a substantial shift in the federal government’s dealings with local law enforcement since 9/11, when some police officials feared they were being shut out of investigative developments in the weeks after the 2001 attacks. “We recognized long ago that they (local police) are on the front lines in this (counterterrorism) effort and it just makes sense to arm them with as much information as possible,” FBI spokesman Paul Bresson said. Separately, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security warned local police agencies late Monday as a precaution that retalia-

tion could take the form of a lone attacker or “lone wolf,” similar to the suspect in the 2009 shooting at Fort Hood, Texas, which left 13 people dead. Army Maj. Nidal Hasan is charged in the killings. In New York, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly is getting daily briefings, Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne said. With the exception of a possible interest in attacking the U.S. train system, which officials made public last week, Browne also said no new threat information specific to New York or other parts of the USA has surfaced from intelligence seized at the Pakistan compound. Browne said additional police continue to patrol transit systems and other landmarks. Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said extra officers will remain on patrol there, too. “The content (of the seized material) is not as specific as I would have expected,” said Davis. “Maybe they have not gotten to the meat of it (the information) yet.”

Wife craves answers to slaying Ex-Pentagon official’s body found in landfill By Peter Eisler USA TODAY NEW CASTLE, Del. — If fformer Pentagon official Jack Wheeler was killed in a robbery, why didn’t the murderer take his vintage Rolex watch and gold West Point ring? And if Wheeler was killed by an assassin trying to make it look like a robbery, why would the killer leave behind items a thief would be likely to take? Those questions, involving previously undisclosed details of the unsolved slaying, tug at Wheeler’s widow and grown son. “There are a lot of unsolved questions,” says Katherine Klyce, 67, Wheeler’s wife of the past 13 years. In that time, Wheeler, well-known in defense circles and a driving force in creating the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, served in jobs that gave him access to plenty of government secrets, including a stint from 2005 through 2008 as a top assistant to the secretary of the Air Force. Klyce, like many, can’t help but wonder whether his death could have had some connection to his work. “You want to know what happened,” she says. In their first extended news media interview, Klyce and John P. Wheeler IV, the 34-year-old son from Wheeler’s previous marriage, spent 90 minutes with USA TODAY and The News Journal of Wilmington, Del. They provided information not revealed before about the case — that Wheeler’s watch and ring were on his body, for example — but nothing that answers who killed Jack Wheeler or why. A slew of conspiracy theories have emerged since his body was found New Year’s Eve in a Wilmington landfill. Snippets of video from random surveillance cameras put Wheeler at a series of inexplicable locations in his last 48 hours. No one seems to know what he was doing or who may have been with him. He simply fell out of contact, then turned up dead, the victim of blunt-force trauma, a beating. “There are two theories: that he was robbed or that he was targeted,” says Klyce. The fact that jewelry was on his body “casts doubt on the robbery theory.” As for an assassination, “He had lots of enemies, (but) nobody that would kill him.” Wheeler was, by all accounts, passionate and provocative, known for his strong opinions and heated debates with people who didn’t agree with him. Klyce describes Wheeler as showing characteristics of Asperger’s syndrome, which can affect a person’s ability to take social cues. He

couple’s primary residence in nearby New Castle. u In footage taken Dec. 29 at a Wilmington parking garage, Wheeler has one shoe in his hand and tells an attendant he’s been robbed. He’s been described by authorities as looking disoriented, but Klyce says, “He didn’t look disoriented, he looked distressed . . . afraid.” uThe next afternoon, Dec. 30, Wheeler was seen at a Wilmington office building, where he asked at least one person for a ride to Philadelphia. He looked disheveled but seemed coherent, witnesses said. That night, cameras at a nearby hotel captured him walking toward a rough neighborhood in a dark hooded sweatshirt, tugging the hood over his head. “It looked to me like he was trying to hide his face,” Klyce says. “It wasn’t his clothing.” The next morning, Wheeler’s body tumbled from a truck at a Wilmington landfill. Klyce believes Wheeler may have been hiding from something, which would explain his seeking rides from strangers, rather than traveling by cab or train as he usually did. “If he was afraid of something in the house or around here (in Delaware) . . . he wouldn’t want anybody to know where he was,” she says. She can’t explain his desire to get to Philadelphia. Klyce didn’t see Wheeler’s body until after it had been prepared by a mortician, but she says she could see bruising on his face and his head appeared swollen. So, does Klyce have a theory: robbery or targeted killing? “Yeah, but I’m not going to tell you which one,” she says. John Wheeler also declines to speculate: “What I don’t want to do is spur more theories.”

also took medication for bipolar disorder, she says. Klyce does not believe that Wheeler had gone off his medication. That said, she can’t explain Wheeler’s unusual behavior on the video in his final hours. “What happened to Jack in the last few days of his life didn’t look like Jack.” She points to various details of events before he died. Among them: uWheeler spent Christmas with Klyce at a condo they owned in New York City, but he left abruptly for Washington on Dec. 28. Klyce says he went to deliver gifts to friends, a holiday routine, but she hasn’t heard from anyone who saw him on the visit. He bought a train ticket from D.C. to Wilmington that Contributing: Cris Barrish, The News Journal evening, and apparently traveled back to the in Wilmington, Del.

This year’s cicada brood sure to create a buzz By Elizabeth Weise USA TODAY Here comes the Brood. An enormous brood of cicadas that covers parts of 16 states is beginning to wake from its 13-year underground slumber. The inch-long insects have been reported hatching in South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina and Arkansas, and they will appear farther north as soil temperatures reach 64 degrees. “There are billions of them in the trees,” Greta Beekhuis says, speaking by phone from her porch in Pittsboro, N.C. The sound of the cicadas is clearly audible over the line. “When I drove from my house to the grocery store, I ran over thousands of them. They’re everywhere.

Parties mark positions on taxes in debt battle By y ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The battle about whether tax increases can be used to cut the nation’s debt flared Tuesday as the Senate’s Democratic budget writer floated a possible millionaire’s surtax to help cut projected deficits in the next decade. But Republican leaders flatly said no to tax increases. Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad, D-N.D., raised the idea of an extra tax on the wealthiest taxpayers, Democratic officials said, and the Senate s Democratic leader, Harry ate’s

Reid, D-Nev., called for an end to tax subsidies for oil and gas companies. House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell both staked out seemingly unyielding positions against tax increases The parties exchanged volleys about taxes even as bipartisan congressional negotiators working with Vice President Joe Biden struggled for common ground on spending cuts that would help erode long-term deficits. Boehner is calling for trillions of dollars in spending cuts, and the Democrats, too, acknowlacknowl

edge spiraling annual deficits require spending restraint. But the differences about possible tax increases, even if they would spare regular wage-earners, underscore the chasm between the two parties. The conflicting approaches to debt reduction set the stage for a grand national debate that will likely play out for the next year and half about overhauling taxes and restructuring major government benefit programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. The bipartisan budget negotiators who met with Biden for

the second time in a week Tuesday are seeking more immediate solutions to long-term deficits. Those talks are under way while the administration seeks an increase in the government’s borrowing authority, and Republicans see that debt ceiling vote as critical leverage for spending cuts. Biden, emerging from a twohour meeting with congressional negotiators across from the White House, voiced optimism about the talks, but indicated top House and Senate leaders might ultimately have to become involved to seal any bargain.

New group helps lead community

T

he declaration, “I will stay if …” probably applies to more than our community’s young professionals. When members of this demographic group utter those words, people take notice. Mobility often diminishes the more we age. Staying in one place becomes more important when we are raising our families. Picking up stakes means disrupting our children’s lives with new schools, new friends and a new community in which to fit in. Options for leaving a community are strongest when you’re in your 20s and 30s. For residents in that age category who have college degrees and skills that garner comfortable salaries and promise substantial contributions to the communities, they choose, the declaration carries a resonance that’s difficult to ignore. “Young urban professional” is a term that has become cliché through the years, but that isn’t true for the people the term was created to identify. Communities measure their health — economically, culturally, educationally and socially — by the presence of young professionals. When their numbers are large, their community’s future has greater promise. The emergence of the Blue Water Young Professionals, therefore, is a promising development. The group’s “I will stay if …” campaign drew nearly 200 participants to a launch party last month at the Vintage Tavern in downtown Port Huron. For some time now, Blue Water Area residents young and old have been engaged in a discussion about the community’s future — and it isn’t the first time attention has been devoted to the importance of young professionals. The Cool Cities initiative Jennifer Granholm launched during her first term as governor was premised on revitalizing cities by attracting young professionals largely through the arts. Studio 1219, an arts incubator in downtown Port Huron, is the most tangible result. Today, the arts community is an established Blue Water Area asset and a testament to the Cool Cities program. The Young Professionals are a welcome addition. They promise to expand the Blue Water Area’s commitment to reinventing itself. Responses to “I will stay if ...” were collected at the group’s Vintage Tavern launch party. They are expected to be presented May 20. When Blue Meets Green, a collaboration of St. Clair County’s, business, government and civic leaders, is working to create a plan for economic development. Blue Water Young Professionals are welcome participants. It’s difficult to predict exactly how our community will increase its prospects, but it is certain that young professionals are essential leaders in that development process. “I will stay if ...” is an important wake-up call, and our community’s young professionals are best suited to make it.

Anti-smoking campaign YOUR VIEWS for Life cancer is vital to mental health Relay fight needs support A

t St. Clair County Community Mental Health, we are getting ready for our annual Run for Recovery, a 5K run and 1-mile fun walk Saturday. For us, Run for Recovery underlines the connection between “Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies,” the theme of the race. In looking at the mindbody health connection, one area that needs more research and treatment is the link between smoking and mental illness. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, about 22.5% of the U.S. adult population smokes. But 41% of people with a psychiatric disorder smoke, almost twice the rate of those without psychiatric diagnoses. Among individuals with schizophrenia, as many as 90% smoke. For bipolar disorder, it’s about 70%. For substance use disorders, it’s about half. I was stunned a few years ago to learn that people with mental illness smoke 44.3% of all cigarettes in the United States. I should not have been. Early in my career, it was common to use cigarettes as rewards to modify the behavior of persons with mental illness. In some ways, this early system probably contributed to the disproportionate use of cigarettes among persons with serious mental illness. It seems inconceivable in today’s world that such a practice would be allowed. It reinforces the point that we have come a long way

with perhaps a long road left to travel. What we now know is smoking is the leading preventable cause of disease and death. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates about 440,000 people die every year from smoking-related causes. Smokers die on average 10 years earlier than people who never smoked. On the other hand, quitting smoking reduces the incidence of sickness and lengthens life. If a person quits by age 50, he or she reduces his or her mortality rate by half. Quit by 40, and within a decade, the mortality rate is no different than a nonsmoker’s. Clearly, something needs to be done. We need to add treatments designed to help people quit smoking to their treatments for their mental illnesses. More research needs to be done to pinpoint psychosocial factors behind the high rates of smoking among people with mental illness. How do under-education, poverty, unemployment and peer pressure encourage smoking? Continued research is needed to explore the genetics of mental illness and smoking and the neu-

he TalkBack phones are ringing. Let’s see what’s on your minds. Talk to me: » Pete from Port Huron: “I’m tired of everybody feeling sorry for the business owners. So they can’t put in that new swimming pool at home. Too bad. How about the employee who can’t buy his kids a decent pair of shoes or replace some worn out brakes on his car? Business owners didn’t get into business to create jobs. They’re in business to make money. The fewer employees they have, the better.” »Two-cents Toots, St. Clair: “There have been two or three recent notic-

As a St. Clair parent, I’m extremely proud of the number of top awards going to St. Clair high school and middle school students. St. Clair schools and their students rock. Great work, kids and educators.” » Renee from Port Huron: “I’m calling in about the lady complaining about the other person at the clinic for pets that had three dogs. Maybe when she got her three dogs she could afford to take them to a

full-price vet. When I got my dog I could afford to take him to a vet. Since my husband lost his job and the economy not being that great, we can’t afford to take him to a vet now. When we were both working full time, we took him to a vet and didn’t pay the low cost. Maybe the person should pay attention to our economy and realize some people lost their jobs in it.” » John from Carsonville: “I’m calling in regard to the governor ordering flags to be flown at half staff for military and other people. I fly a flag out of respect. When I’m ordered to lower it that smacks of dictatorship. I know Gov. Jennifer Granholm did it, and I thought Gov. Rick Snyder would be smart enough to correct it, but apparently not.” Easy there, John. The governor’s order only applies pp to state governg

rological pathways shared by both. Does nicotine provide something the brain might not be producing? Does nicotine reduce some side effects of psychiatric medications? Evidence suggests that the relationship between depression and smoking may be bidirectional: Depression increases the risk of smoking and smoking increases the risk of depression. More answers are needed. We — especially those of us who have tried to quit — tend to think quitting smoking triggers anxiety and depression. The good news is a recent Brown University study concludes people who quit smoking, even briefly, were less depressed and anxious than those who did not. “What’s surprising is that at the time when you measure smokers’ moods, even if they’ve only succeeded quitting for a little while, they already are reporting less symptoms of depression,” said Christopher Kahler, lead researcher. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, more than 25% of Americans experience a diagnosable mental illness every year. Through a lifetime, about half of all Americans can expect to experience a diagnosable mental illness. These are not academic questions. They affect us all.

The other thing is that they have voting in a local church. How come with separation of church and state they have us voting at a church?” Church/state separation isn’t violated when municipalities use churches as voting polls. The separation would be violated if churches imposed requirements on how people vote. » D from Port Huron: “Regarding the last line of Cliff Schrader’s Friday column: Sorry, Cliff, but God doesn’t hate Port Huron.

t 9 a.m. May 21, 49 teams with more than 600 participants will hit the pavement in the Birchwood Mall parking lot for the 2011 Relay for Life of Greater Port Huron. Teams of people will take turns walking the “track.” Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, the relay is 24 hours in length. This is a community event with many activities and entertainment for families. Special moments of the day include the 11:30 a.m. Survivors Ceremony when we celebrate cancer survivors along with their caregivers. At 3 p.m., there will be a Fight Back Ceremony. Community members will speak out about how they will fight against cancer. At 9:30 p.m., the Luminaria Ceremony marks a time of remembrance. Participants walk with lighted candles to remember those lost to cancer and honor those still fighting. Everyone’s reason to participate is as unique as his or her personal story. Since 2003, we have lost family and friends to cancer. Additional family and friends have been diagnosed with cancer. We continue to fight back by helping to raise funds for programs and research. Visit www.relayforlife.org/ greaterporthuronmi to make a donation to the American Cancer Society through Relay for Life of Greater Port Huron. Everyone is welcome at Relay for Life. I encourage you to join us sometime during the 24 hours as we come together to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. LUCY LORF Marysville, May 6

SPORTS TODAY IN SPORTS

Joseph Hayes

There is a side of sports that often goes unnoticed. Athletes have been idolized for their ability, but in many cases, fans have failed to discern exactly who is behind those vast gifts. Thomas Seppo, Tyrone Burrell and other area leaders are hoping to change that mindset Saturday when they take part in Home Plate. The program, which was started by Detroit Tigers chaplain Jeff Totten, focuses on teaching adolescents about God and his role in sports. This year, several local groups including Operation Transformation and Save Our Neighborhoods and Streets will take part in the event on Saturday at Comerica Park. “We want them to come away with the idea that there is more to life than just baseball,” said Brenda Seppo, who is married to Thomas Seppo, the executive director of Operation Transformation. “There is a purpose to life. Many athletes don’t see baseball as their all in all. They do what they do because God blessed them with a gift. Each of us has a gift, and these athletes acknowledge the spiritual need for God in their life.” Totten, Tigers outfielder Ryan Raburn and a couple of players from the Kansas City Royals will share their testimonies. In total, about 8,000 adolescents are expected to be on hand for the event. That will include 250 from the Blue Water area. At 9:45 a.m. Saturday, five buses will leave the Memorial Stadium parking lot for Comerica Park. The program will begin at 12:30 p.m. with the major league players giving their testimonies. At 2 p.m., a clinic will be held on the field. Then, there will be a lunch break, after which the Tigers will play the Royals at 4:10 p.m. The participants will pay $27 for the day’s activities, which will also include a food voucher and a souvenir. Donations paid for the transportation. “After the game is over, and after the career is over, only what’s done for Christ will last,” S.O.N.S. founder Tyrone Burrell said. “Even as far as how you play the game and the value of the game. People who can play with humility and grace characteristically reflect a God that reflects humility and grace. “Sports then become a metaphor for excellence and perseverance and the whole concept of team. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, what a great team that is.” In a day and age where evil is portrayed as good and the truth is viewed as intolerant, it’s nice to see a major league organization offer children this opportunity. And hopefully, Saturday will culminate with numerous lives being forever changed with the truth that can only be found in Jesus. “We want to give these younger kids a chance to hear the gospel,” Thomas Tocco said. “What a wonderful tool this is.” For more information, contact Burrell at (810) 989-7667 Contact Joseph Hayes at (810) 488-7746 or jahayes@gannett. com.

Event to focus on God’s role in sports

TIMES HERALD, PORT HURON, MICHIGAN

DETROIT — Henrik Zetterberg and Valtteri Filppula scored less than two minutes apart in the third period, and the Detroit Red Wings rallied again for a 31 victory against the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night, forcing a decisive seventh game after trailing 3-0 in the pulsating second-round series. San Jose must defend home ice Thursday night to avoid becoming the fourth NHL team to lose a best-ofseven series after leading 3-0. San Jose’s Logan Couture scored early in the third period, but Zetterberg tied it with 9:22 remaining, and Filppula scored the winner with 7:28 left.

Darren Helm added an empty-net goal. Every other game in the series was decided by one goal. Detroit scored the last three goals of Game 5 to win 4-3. The Red Wings are the second team this season to erase a 3-0 series hole. Chicago did it in the first round before losing Game 7 at Vancouver. Philadelphia came all the way back last year in the second round, winning the final four games against Boston. Those recent successes make the task now seem much less daunting. Skating with confidence and desperation, the Red Wings outshot San Jose 4525, but they were on the verge of elimination after

Couture batted a rebound out of midair and the puck trickled past goalie Jimmy Howard with 16:06 remaining. The puck barely crossed the goal line before Howard covered it with his glove, but the goal stood after a review. Zetterberg tied it by deflecting a wrist shot by Niklas Kronwall past goalie Antti Niemi, and the Sharks never regained momentum. Filppula put Detroit ahead, converting a nice cross-ice pass by Pavel Datsyuk. The Red Wings outplayed the Sharks from the start. At the midway point of the first period, Detroit had an 11-1 edge in shots, to the delight of the home crowd that had given the Red

Pioneers sweep Cros-Lex takes two from Yale Times Herald

YALE — The CroswellLexington seniors came up big Tuesday night in a Blue Water Area Conference doubleheader sweep of Yale. Sean Fazio and Parker Grundman picked up wins, Nathan Napora had a huge pinch-hit triple and Nick Cristofori was strong behind the plate as Cros-Lex won 5-2 and 6-3. “Those are two huge wins for us,” Cros-Lex coach Phil Jackson said. “Our seniors stepped up tonight: Napora, Fazio, Grundman, Cristofori. “It was a phenomenal game for us as a team and for our seniors.” Napora’s hit came in the sixth inning of the opener with the game tied at two. It drove in two runs. “Nathan had a huge opportunity and came through for us,” Jackson said. “I’m extremely excited for him. He’s a first-year (player) and a

RUMMEL/TIMES HERALD great kid, a hard worker and a pleasure to have on the team.” Fazio picked up the win, striking out seven in seven innings, while allowing four hits and one earned run. Grundman, Dominic Arnold (double, stolen base) and Hunter Grace (two runs) each had two hits for the Pioneers (3-5, 7-8), while Bryce Davis had a hit and two RBIs.

Brandon Goeschel took the loss, striking out five and walking two while allowing eight hits and three earned runs. Tevin Hunter had a triple, while Jason Cowhy and Kyle Hug each had an RBI single for Yale (5-5, 8-9). Grundman was the winner in the second game, striking out 10, walking eight and allowing two hits and two earned runs.

“Parker Grundman did a good job of taking the game over in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings,” Yale coach Brian Fowler said. Cristofori also had a big pickoff play in the fourth inning with Yale threatening, Jackson said. Nathan Guitar (RBI) and Eric Seidl (two RBIs, triple) each had two hits for Cros-Lex, while Davis (two RBIs) and Grace

(RBI, run, double) each had a hit. Dillon Stawecki took the loss, striking out four, walking six and allowing five hits and five earned runs in six innings. Cowhy had Yale’s only two hits in the game. Cros-Lex plays Thursday at home against Almont, while Yale plays Saturday at home in its own wood bat tournament.

Langolf, Norris qualify for nationals Times Herald

BATTLE CREEK — The

St. Clair County Community College golf team ended its season Tuesday on a high note. The Skippers recorded the low score of the final day of regional play at Bedford Valley, and two of its golfers — Tim Langolf and Randy Norris — qualified for the National Junior Col-

lege Athletic Association golf nationals. SC4 finished fourth out of nine schools with a score of 926. Mott CC was first (894), followed by Oakland (904) and Grand Rapids (919). “It’s one of the better rounds we’ve had as a team,” SC4 coach Dale Vos said. “To move up to fourth place, we were sixth over-

night — it was a nice ending for the guys who aren’t going to go on.” Langolf shot a 71 to lead SC4 and the rest of the field. Norris, meanwhile, shot a 74. Langolf finished second on the overall leaderboard, and Norris was fourth. “I just think that’s a great round of golf by both of them,” Vos said. “They

knew they had to shoot a good score. One of hardest things to do is to go out and do it when you have pressure on you.” Brandon Macklem shot a 75 for SC4 and was followed by Brad DiMaggio (81) and Mitch Beauchamp (83). Langolf and Norris will have a short window to prepare for next week’s com-

petition, which will begin Tuesday at Goose Pond Colony in Scottsboro, Ala. “It’s a short turnaround,” Vos said. “We’ll leave on Sunday. “There is a practice round Sunday and Monday and then the tournament begins Tuesday with 18 holes every day. “They will play plenty of golf.”

Dembinski ready to help new program By y PAUL COSTANZO Times Herald

Shane Dembinski said there’s a little bit of pressure that goes along with helping a university start a new football program. But the St. Clair senior is excited about his opportunity at Florida Tech. “They said they only recruited 30 kids t h i s y e a r, so that’s an honor to be a part of that,” Dem- Shane binski said. Dembinski “And there’s a lot of talent in Florida, so it’s an honor that they picked me.” A three-year starter at safety for the Saints and an honorable mention all-

state selection in 2010, Dembinski will attend the school on a more than 50% academic scholarship. The private school will begin playing games — likely a junior varsity schedule — in 2012 and plans to be playing varsity games by 2013. It is applying for Division II status, so without that being known, athletic scholarships aren’t being given out. This upcoming season, Dembinski and his Florida Tech teammates will simply be working out in preparation for the program’s first games. “I think it will be tough (not playing games),” Dembinski said. “It could get a little boring, but once we get going, it will be OK.” See DEMBINSKI, Page 2B

Blue Devils stay on top of BWAC Times Herald

RICHMOND — JJ Martin and

Mitchell Ward turned in strong pitching performances Tuesday for the Richmond baseball team. The Blue Devils remained in first place in the Blue Water Area Conference with 11-1 and 10-0 five-inning mercy-rule decisions against Imlay City. Martin pitched the opener and fired a two-hitter with no earned runs and four strikeouts. Ward blanked the Spartans on two hits and seven strikeouts in the nightcap.

Austin Timmerman (double, three RBIs), Owen Kratt (two RBIs) and Ryan Boyd (three runs) led the Blue Devils (9-1, 11-5) with two hits apiece.

DEMBINSKI Continued from Page g 1B

Dembinski also considered Case Western Reserve University, University of Chicago, Washington University in St. Louis and Siena Heights. Academics are what drew Dembinski to the fledgling program in Melbourne, Fla. He plans on majoring in engineering, and said that if he maintains a certain grade-point average while at Florida Tech, the school will pay for half of his master’s classes. “It took him a while to make his decision and he had a couple of offers, but it really came down to the education and academic aspect of it,” St. Clair coach Bill Nesbitt said. “It was the best fit for him academically.

Late Monday MARLETTE 11-9 UBLY 0-1 UBLY — The Red Raiders swept the Greater Thumb Conference East Division doubleheader to stay within a game of Brown City. Angela King threw a one-hit shutout with eight strikeouts in the five-inning mercy-rule decision for Marlette (5-1, 9-3). Amber Fischer won the nightcap with a three-hitter and six strikeouts. Jenna Hirsch and King paced the offense with five hits apiece in the sweep. Renea Fischer and Amber Fischer each had three hits.

“He’s been wanting to play football for a long time, and he was smart enough to include not just the football aspect, but the academics as well.” Nesbitt said Dembinski’s frame — which he estimated could add about 20-30 pounds — and his nose for the ball could eventually make him a good outside linebacker if that’s the route Florida Tech wants to go. Dembinski, who had 96 tackles, two interceptions and seven pass breakups in his senior season, said the plan is to play safety, but with a year to just lift weights and prepare for the 2012 season, bulking up and changing positions is an option.

DEAR ABBY

WITH JEANNE PHILLIPS

Dear Abby: y Your mother’s recipes p occasionally y have been printed p in your y column. However,, there is one of the best that I have never seen yet. y It’s her “St. James’ Baked Beans.” If y you have never tried it before,, then the greatg est taste sensation has been missed. I am always y invited back to any yp party y — provided p I bring g the beans. I have always y g given your mom full credit for y the recipe p and have never changed g a single g ingreg dient. You can’t improve upon p perfection. p Do your y readers a favor and p print it. They y won’t be sorry. y My y mom started making g them when she bought g the first cookbooklet in 1987,, and I have continued the tradition. Thanks! — Sandra S., Port St. Lucie, Fla. Dear Sandra: I’m p pleased to p print the recipe. p With summer almost here,, those baked beans will make a welcome addition to any y barbecue or patio p party p y— and they’re high in fiber,

too. Other recipes p in the cookbooklet set are also terrific for entertaining g when the weather is sweltering. g Among g them are Summer Cucumber Salad,, Cucumber Soup, p, Abby’s y Tomato Salad,, Summer Surprise p Dessert (made with fresh fruit) and Ritz Pecan Pie. All of them are simple p and easy y to make. The cookbooklet set can be ordered by y sending g your y name and address,, p plus check or money y order for $12 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby y — Cookbooklet Set, P.O. Box 447,, Mount Morris,, IL 61054-0447. Shipping pp g and handling g are included in the p price. Included with the recipes p are tips p for not only y entertaining, g, g but also how to g graciously y end a p party y without being g rude — a q question I am frequently y asked. S T.

HOROSCOPES FOR WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 2011 »ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your energy

remains high when you don’t stick with any one focus for too long. You will excel with short-term assignments and situations that have a definite endpoint. »TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s an ethereal feeling to the day. The work you have to do may seem more mystical than practical. Succeeding in this will require a certain abdication of logic and convention. »GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You do a lot in the spirit of common decency that you think others would do, as well. It will be clearly illustrated today that not everyone got the memo. It might help you to think of yourself as a teacher and leader. »CANCER (June 22-July 22). Forging the bonds of friendship is often so much fun that you don’t see it as work. But sometimes it is work, and you’ll do what it takes to respect, defend and maintain this bond. »LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have many talents, but the best one of all is your ability to make the day better for yourself and everyone around you. You will spread beautiful vibes wherever you go. »VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Just because a saying is witty doesn’t mean it’s true. But if the statement is really funny — so funny you can’t stop laughing — there must be some degree of truth to it.

»LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re not messing around. On the mundane matters, you’ll show no mercy. Something may sound good or look good on paper, but if it doesn’t work well in real life, you’ll drop it. »SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You don’t have to be the best in the whole world. You only have to be the best in the competition — and probably today that means being the best in the room. You can do it. »SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your mind is so active now that it’s not easy to center your thoughts on the needs of others. However, when you do this and act in accordance, you create excitement, interest and sales. »CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). For your idea to be accepted by the decision-makers above you, they have to want to like it. Success depends on giving them a reason to want to like it, and then giving them something worth liking. »AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You get around in new ways. You rely on your phone and computer more, that’s true. But you also listen more astutely to your intuition and act on what you hear. »PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Finishing what you start will be a big deal now. It’s a matter of dignity. You gain self-esteem knowing that you completed the cycle. Also, you just want to get on with your life.
