girl is ostracized by her athletic team after she sends nude pictures of herself to teammates’ boyfriends, as well as other boys at her high school. A videotape of three students engaged in sex inside their high school spreads like wildfire among their classmates. A middle school girl sends nude images of herself to someone she only met online. All these incidents took place in Muskegon County, and are part of what law enforcement officials call “an epidemic” of teen sexting — the transmission of sexual images through such electronic devices as cellphones.

Young people may see it as a way to flirt, but sexting also is criminal. It is considered child sexually abusive activity, and those who create images potentially could serve 20 years in prison. “Kids have no clue what they’re doing, and it’s becoming very prevalent,” Muskegon County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Timothy Maat said. “It’s become an epidemic.” Teens are sharing sexually explicit images in alarming numbers — so alarming that school officials have turned to law enforcement for help controlling what students are looking at in their school hallways.

Tuesday’s vote allows city staff and the owners of The West Michigan Rum Company to move ahead with the due diligence needed before any construction begins. If all goes well, the distillery, tasting room and restaurant should be open by early 2017, said Pete Johnson, co-owner of The West Michigan Rum Company. The commission agreed to spend between $300,000 and $350,000 to “build out” space for

NASA spacecraft probes into the secrets of Jupiter By David L. DeBruyn

IF YOU GO

NIGHT WATCH

grnews@mlive.com

hile most of us are enjoying parades, picnics and fireworks on the Fourth of July, a number of spacecraft engineers and astronomers specializing in planetary exploration will be staring nervously at computer screens. Juno, NASA’s latest spacecraft aimed toward Jupiter, arrives in the vicinity of the solar system’s largest planet Monday after a five-year journey. The craft will remain at a safe distance from Jupiter’s intense gravity and powerful radiation belts for a while, but this will become the most hazardous of a number of significant missions to the planet. Juno’s working life is expected to be short, but what it reveals could be highly significant.

FOLLOW ALONG

A LONG LINE

Previous high-profile missions, beginning with the twin Pioneers in the early ’70s, Voyagers 1 and 2 in 1979, and the long-term Galileo probe and orbiter (1995-2003) — for the most part — stayed clear of the most intense radiation zones encircling Jupiter. The intensity of the radiation can be lethal to sensitive electronic instruments. Juno, however, is programmed eventually to dive through those zones, gathering new information about conditions in Jupiter’s near vicinity and below its cloudy atmosphere before succumbing. Jupiter has a magnetic field second in intensity only to the sun. That dynamo is generated deep within the rapidly rotating and mostly fluid planet. The gaseous atmosphere, with its colorful bands and zones visible through even a small telescope, mixes at greater depths with continually denser layers. Scientists still do not fully understand their composi-

tion or if a long-suspected rocky core really exists. Earlier spacecraft hinted at answers to these unknowns — and others — but could not venture close enough to be sure. NASA approved funding for Juno after the Galileo spacecraft dropped a probe into the chaotic atmosphere in 1995, enduring pressures equivalent to 25 Earth atmospheres, to send back useful data — but not enough of it. Jupiter long has been thought to have water, possibly in liquid form, at intermediate depths, but Galileo encountered an unexpected “dry zone.” One of Juno’s primary experiments is designed to search for water and determine its abundance, but it will have to get dangerously close to do so. Confirming the state and amount of water inside Jupiter would have enormous implications, not only

about the early history of our solar system, but that of hundreds of other planetary systems now known to be encircling distant stars. NOT FLATTERING, BUT ...

Keep in mind, Jupiter is, for the most part, a bloated gas bag, but one that contains more matter than 318 Earths. The lightest element, hydrogen, is most abundant. It combines with nitrogen to form ammonia clouds seen from Earth. At greater depths, the hydrogen presumably combines with oxygen to form water. To get the close-up look required to answer the water question, Juno will be lowered gradually into an ever-tighter orbit. It eventually will skim Jupiter’s upper atmosphere from the relative safety of a polar orbit, ducking under the potentially lethal radiation belts — at least initially. The idea is to gather data

“It creates Western Avenue frontage for the L.C. Walker Arena on what I call the dead block,” Peterson said, referring to the mostly vacant stretch between Racquets Downtown Grill and Top Shelf Pizza/Pigeon Hill Brewing Co. In addition, the restaurant would improve the “fan experience” at the arena and provide for a wider variety of food options there, he said.

Beginning in September, arena ownership will transfer from Muskegon County to the city. Under the proposed agreement, the city would transfer arena ownership to the Muskegon Downtown Development Authority, a municipal corporation, so that West Michigan Rum Company could pursue liquor licenses. The city earlier this year took over management of the arena with a focus on increasing its use. Development of the distillery and restaurant is seen as a way to increase foot traffic in and around the building and downtown in general. The distillery would be the second downtown. The 18th Amendment Spirits Company will be located at West Western Avenue and Second Street in the former Savings and Loan Bank. Renovations of that building are currently underway. CONDITIONS

Updates at NASA’s website will begin this week and continue until Juno meets its demise. When that will be is hard to predict. A number of other spacecraft have outlived their expected lifetimes. Most notable is the Martian probe “Opportunity,” which still is wandering around Mars and sending back useful data after more than a decade on the surface of the planet. Back on Earth, you still can see Jupiter for a couple of hours before it sets as a bright starlike object in the western evening sky. A small telescope will reveal the cloud bands encircling the planet, as well as its four largest satellites. Jupiter, along with ruddy Mars, low in the south, and the more yellow-colored Saturn in the southeast, still are features of the July night sky, but by August, giant Jupiter, with Juno orbiting it, will become lost in the twilight.

at a safe distance first, and then let things become more precarious. The mission is geared primarily to the study of Jupiter’s radiation zones and interior at nonvisual wavelengths, so Juno will not be transmitting as many impressive pictures as its high-profile predecessors, but look for some from really close range and a unique perspective. Juno’s first two orbits will be long ones, each lasting 53 days, allowing scientists to assess the spacecraft’s behavior at a safe distance. In mid-October, rockets will be fired to lower it into successively lower and more hazardous orbits that will include a mad dash into the very fringes of the cloud tops.

the following terms for the Walker Arena restaurant: • Rent would be $10 per square foot with the total for the restaurant space about $4,166 a month. There would be no rent charged for the first six months; the seventh month would be 25 percent of the rent; and each month after would be increased by 25 percent until the full amount is reached. • The tenant would pay a share of such services as garbage service and Dumpster rental. It also would pay for its own utilities that would be separately metered. • The tenant would pay property taxes for the leased area as well as personal property taxes.

• West Michigan Rum Company does not have licenses from the Michigan Liquor Control Commission, and both parties have the right to terminate the lease within 18 months if the tenant doesn’t receive the licenses. Construction would not begin until the company receives initial approval of the liquor licenses. • The city would have three to six months to build the bar/restaurant space once agreements are signed. Peterson said he would expect the restaurant to be operational in early 2017. • The parties would seek designs and bids for the construction and if they are over budget, the entire plan could be scrapped.

Art brightens downtown streets at annual festival

In an effort to reduce drunk driving on the holiday weekend, mobile taxi service Uber is teaming up with MADD Michigan to bring drivers to cities along the west lakeshore area. From noon Friday to 11:55 p.m. Monday, residents in Muskegon, Grand Haven, Holland and smaller communities along the coast will be able to request a ride from uberX, Uber’s low-cost, ride-sharing option. The mobile app connects riders with a driver in the area who transports customers in their own vehicle. New Uber users can enter the code “4JulyWMich” for a free first ride up to $20. The cost of a ride starts at $1 base fare, and an additional 15 cents per minute, 75 cents per mile, and a $1.55 booking fee. Uber will donate $1 from each ride to further MADD’s mission to end drunk driving. In 2012, almost half of all crashes with fatalities during July 4th weekend involved a drunk driver, making it one of the deadliest holidays of that year. Uber drivers will be brought in from Grand Rapids, the closest service area in West Michigan. Because the legality of the app has been challenged by governments and taxi companies, Uber spokesperson Leor Reef said the company does not normally operate in the Muskegon area. “We have to have a business certainty to dedicate time and resources to make it happen,” he said. “(On the lakeshore) we have a lot crossover between different cities and towns. Each city could put in their own regulations, and it would be hard to operate.” Legislation that would standardize regulations on transportation network companies, such as Uber and Lyft, passed the House of Representatives last year.

The festival filled the streets of downtown Muskegon during its opening day. The festival was expected to attract more than 300 exhibitors and 50,000 visitors to downtown Muskegon on Friday and Saturday. In the epicenter of the festival, pedestrians became painters, contributing to the interactive Community Canvas. Around the Johnson Circle at 3rd Street and West Western Avenue, the exhibit allowed festivalgoers to make their mark on 34 large sheets of blank canvas. At the end of each day, local artist Jan Grant cut sections of the canvas and turned them into painted bags, hats, purses and furniture coverings for sale next year. Each sheet produces up to 100 items, she said. Proceeds go to the Family Promise of the Lakeshore and to enhance local art programs. Grant said 10 additional sheets had to be added this year after all canvases quickly were marked during the previous festival. By 11:30 a.m., a significant portion of the first four sheets were marked, featuring amateur recreations of the Muskegon skyline, a large rabbit, the peace symbol, flowers and abstract brush strokes. HIGH-QUALITY, UNIQUE PIECES

Festival Director Carla Flanders said organizers like to keep community favorites at the festival. She said some exhibitors have returned for years because they know it’s a quality show. It was ranked No. 83 by the Sunshine Artist Magazine 200 Best. There are 140 booth spaces available — 20 more than last year — for exhibitors to feature fine art in Hackley Park this year. The park was packed to its edges with professional high-quality and unique pieces for sale. A crafts section on Western Avenue between Fourth and First Streets featured hand made consumer products. Exhibitors from around the country sold items ranging from jewelry, apparel and accessories to wood furniture, metal and stone yard art and leather work. Caricature artists and photographers also displayed their wares as a steady stream of potential customers washed through. The smell of carnival fare and highquality food vendors from local restaurants permeated the air. An artisan food market on Clay Avenue hosted

booths offering spices, oils, sweets and meats for hungry art critics, and gourmet pet treats for their furry companions. On 3rd Street, traditional festival food vendors offered kettle corn, fried elephant ears and coney dogs. Belding resident Clay Courtney has helped serve gyros, seafood and traditional greek staples during downtown Muskegon festivals for 26 years. He said the access for food booths has increased through the years and made it easier to set up and break down their stands. He relaxed on a bench by the downtown Olthoff Stage, listening to the smooth jams of Ruxy Muzik Evolution, a frequent performer downtown. “It’s gotten so much better for all of the vendors,” Courtney said. “There’s a really nice atmosphere here. I like the way it’s evolved. The addition of all this music is something they didn’t always have.” CHILDREN’S LANE

On the east end, families had their own space on Western Avenue between First and Jefferson Streets. Children’s Lane, newly branded “Step into Art,” featured performances, creative art activities and interactive shows. New to the Children’s Lane this year were interactive performances by Cirqueamongus, a comedic circus show. Brave kids were welcomed to try balancing acts and other gymnastic feats. Volunteer Jeremy Previe said the most popular activities are daily puppet shows by Kevin Kammeraad and the Barnyard Express petting zoo. A small piglet darted toward out-

stretched hands surrounding the zoo fences around noon while lazy goats and a spotted calf relaxed in the sun. Also new to this year, Steve Gyrb joined the Children’s Lane with his Percussion Petting Zoo, an interactive musical activity filled with hundreds of unique percussion instruments from around the world. An artful scavenger hunt also was available to be picked up at the Children’s Lane booth at the corner of Western Avenue and Jefferson Street. On Friday, “The Voice” finalist Joshua Davis and Steve Rivers performed for Muskegon RockStock. Tribute band Led Zeppelin 2 performed Saturday. Tickets were $10 for one day or $15 for admission to both days. A percentage of the proceeds go to benefit No More Sidelines, a nonprofit organization committed to helping children and young adults with special needs. A fireworks show for the Fourth of July ended the festivities Saturday after sunset.

Don’t bet your friends you’ll return with a king salmon from a fishing trip this July 4 weekend. The odds are against you winning that wager. “The salmon remain far and few this week out of Muskegon, but the lake trout and steelhead fishing remains strong,” said Captain Kyle Buck, of Great Lakes Guide Service. “With all the wind we have had the past few days, the water is really all mixed up, but we hope it sets up a good thermocline over the next few days.” He added that there may be Lake Michigan salmon to be caught near other West Michigan ports. “We have heard a few decent reports of kings being caught to the north and south ports of us in the last few days where there has been cooler water,” Buck said. Here are some additional reports from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources on other locales in West Michigan: South Haven: Pier fishing has slowed down greatly this week. There still is an occasional steelhead being caught with shrimp. Water temperature around the piers has warmed. A few sheepshead were being caught on night crawlers fished on the bottom. Boat anglers targeting salmon found fishing slow as well. The fish seem to be very scattered. Anglers found a few lake trout in 90 feet. Perch fishing continues to be very slow. Hopefully warming lake temperatures will improve perch fishing. Whitehall: Salmon fishing has been slow but a few steelhead have been caught in 160 to 225 feet. Pier anglers casting spoons or fishing with cooked shrimp off the bottom are catching drums and the occasional steelhead. Those fishing with live minnows or jigging soft plastics are catching both smallmouth and largemouth bass. Pentwater: Fishing has been slow but steelhead and lake trout have been caught in 160 to 270 feet along with the occasional Chinook salmon. Pentwater Lake: Anglers fishing the channel are catching smallmouth bass and drums on minnows, leeches, or spoons.

Wild stray cats are prompting complaints at two local mobile home parks, but the local pound has a plan — and money — to deal with the problem. Feral cats, which animal lovers refer to as “community cats,” are a common complaint at Bel Air Estates and Four Leaf Properties, two mobile home parks in Muskegon County. Pound Buddies Animal Shelter and Adoption Center recently announced it received a $10,000 grant

to start a trap, neuter, return program at the mobile home parks. The initiative, called TNR for short, is hoped to be more effective than capturing and killing the cats, capturing them and putting them up for adoption, or capturing them and releasing them elsewhere. “The goal of the TNR program is not only to improve the lives of the cats, but also to alleviate some of the negative issues the local residents experience from general overpopulation, or spreading possible disease,

including rabies,” said Norton Shores Director of Administrative Services Anthony Chandler. The cats will fight less after being neutered because territory and mating issues will be less of a problem. Chandler said an earlier practice of trapping the cats and adopting them out was not working. “Unfortunately, very few were adopted and eventually they were euthanized,” he said. “The TNR program is considered a more effective, and humane

means of managing the feral cat population.” In a news release, Pound Buddies said that moving the cats doesn’t work either, because of a “vacuum effect.” “This means whenever cats are removed, new cats move in or the surviving cats left behind breed to capacity,” according to Pound Buddies. With the TNR program, cats would be trapped and taken to West Michigan Spay/Neuter Clinic. After recovering from surgery, the cats would be returned.

‘Sexting’ on the rise due to smart phones, apps bchampio@mlive.com

Educators in Muskegon County are dealing with a new kind of issue, and it originates from a device owned by 90 percent of their students. A cell phone’s capabilities, educators say, are contributing to the increased prevalence of sexting, a term popularized in recent years that refers to the sending and receiving of sexually explicit messages via cell phones. Improved technology and social media platforms, such as Snapchat that promise images sent will disappear, are additional factors. “You have an adult tool in the hands of children, and when that happens there is a good chance that things can happen,” said Kevin Kruger, principal at Montague High School. “It’s proliferated by the technology,” Reeths-Puffer High School Principal Dan Beckeman said. “Kids used to sneak up to their tree forts with magazines, but now it’s very easy for

students to find ways, to access these sites or send images.” Sexting is becoming such a problem among Muskegon County teens that a prosecutor called it an “epidemic.” Some highprofile instances during the 2015-16 school year led to increased attention from law enforcement and school officials. Several Muskegon County schools have dealt with the issue and many are finding ways to combat the problem. Prompted by an incident in which students made a threesome video on campus, Mona Shores High School has led the charge. Principal Jennifer Bustard said the school is going to push the issue this fall with signs in the hallway, a big communication campaign and, possibly, a parents’ forum. As for the incident itself, the school is moving on.

That’s especially true for Hilson spent much of images such as the ones the past school year on a sent by the middle-schoolcampaign to inform high er who had only “met” school and middle school students of the dangers of the recipient online.

“It was very emotional for those parents,” Bustard said of the incident. “It’s very emotional for those kids. I think bringing that back up may be damaging.” Kruger also had to deal with the issue of sexting during the recently completed school year. The situation prompted a visit from Muskegon County Prosecutor DJ Hilson, who gave a presentation on the dangers of sexting. Hilson visited other districts as well, including Reeths-Puffer,

Mona Shores and Orchard M View. V Kruger estimated about 85 8 percent of his students have smart phones, but h they are not allowed to use t them at any time at school. t It’s obviously a different story when students aren’t s at a school, and Kruger said many students do it when m they are at home and alone t in i their rooms operating under the guise of studying u or o doing homework. “Kids are getting very, very good at hiding what they do from their parents,” he said. “People have invented apps and ways to hide photos from their parents.” Reeths-Puffer High School hasn’t had to deal with a widespread controversy. Still, Beckeman is aware of the issue. During the school year, he met with students in grades 7-12 to discuss the dangers of sexting. “Do I think we have kids that are engaged in that? I would be foolish to say we don’t,” he said.

“We’ve had to address concerns we’ve had with students, but I’ve been fortunate that I don’t have a blowup on sexting. I know some that have been dealing with it on a large scale.” Cell phones are permitted at Reeths-Puffer High School before and after school, at lunch, between classes and in class when teachers deem there is an educational use for them. Kruger said one of the main ways to combat the issue is parental supervision of their children’s cell phones, something he preached to parents and students at freshman orientation last month. Educating students on the serious, life-altering consequences of sending and receiving nude photos, especially between underage children, is important. And though area principals tend to agree the issue comes down to one of student responsibility, they embrace their roles as educators who must take an active role in making sure students know the risks.

Teens who sext also are exposing themselves to bullying, coercion and sextortion — the demands for more and more images that can involve threats of sharing images already sent on Instagram, Facebook or other social media. Sometimes they involve threats of violence. Teens can feel trapped and humiliated. The ultimate consequence, in some cases, has been suicide.

PARENTS UNAWARE

Hilson said current laws aren’t appropriate for teen sexting and were written before such electronic sharing of images became so widespread. The statutes that cover manufacture, possession and distribution of child pornography were intended for adult predators, he said. “This statute was created to address predators surfing the Internet for child pornography ... It was created to go after the real sex offenders — the creepy guy who, for some reason, has some interest me.’ I guess I kid myself and want to be liked,” ultimate consequence, that I’ve heard of and seen in child porn.” Bustard said. “That’s why in some cases, has been But the fact remains it all.” they can be talked into suicide. that children are being The fact the video was The Drexel survey found sharing images of themexposed to images of made on school grounds 71 percent of respondents selves” classmates they may not was an “aggravating And boys need “proof” knew of teens who had have asked for and didn’t factor” to Hilson, who of their sexual conquests experienced negative want to see. pursued indecent — and these days that consequences as a result Furthermore, school exposure charges against proof has to be photos or of texting. and law enforcement offiThere have been several video, Lt.

Child porn charges ﬁled against men

The Muskegon County Prosecutor’s Office has filed felony child pornography charges against two sex offenders lodged in state prison because of material the prisoners allegedly wrote or drew themselves. No photographs or videos of real children are involved in either case — only the products of the prisoners’ imaginations. The men charged are serving prison sentences for multiple counts of child rape in one case and multiple counts of child pornography in the other. The more serious charge — one count of “child abusive commercial activity,”

or manufacturing child pornography, a maximum 20-year felony — was filed against Christopher John Czarnik, 43. Guy Robert Lendrum, 44, is charged with one count of possession of child pornography, normally a maximum four-year felony.

Student debt hurting housing market By Kathy Orton

The Washington Post

Nearly three-quarters of people who are repaying student loans say their debt is hindering them from buying a home, according to a survey released Monday. Although a college degree significantly enhances a person’s chances of gaining stable employment and earning enough for a down payment, the survey found many wouldbe homeowners are increasingly burdened by student debt. The National Association of Realtors joined with the nonprofit American Student Assistance to conduct a survey of only those student loan borrowers who are current in their repayments and therefore mostly likely to be financially ready to make a home purchase. Seventy-one percent of those surveyed said their student loan debt is delaying them from buying a home. More than half said they expect that delay to last longer than five years. “Americans are concerned about this widening inequality” of wealth, said Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist. “One of the contributors is that the homeownership rate is at a 50-year low. For most middle-class families, they have always perceived housing equity as their main source of wealth building. But fewer people are participating in home ownership, particularly among the younger generation, and that is tied to student debt, at least according to our survey.” ALL PARTS OF ECONOMY HIT

With 43 million Americans carrying nearly $1.3 trillion in student debt, the burden is affecting all parts of the economy, not just the housing market. But the housing market has felt its effects keenly. The homeownership rate among the 35-and-younger crowd has plummeted from 44 percent at the height of the housing boom to 34 percent today. Forty-three percent of those polled carried between $10,001 and $40,000 in student debt, while 38 percent owed $50,000 or more. The most common debt burden was between $20,000 and $30,000. Because of their student debt, 69 percent said they don’t feel financially secure enough to buy a home, while 80 percent said they can’t save for a down payment. Student loan debt isn’t just affecting first-time buyers, although that group’s participation in the housing market is at historically low levels. Yun said he was surprised to see that move-up buyers also were being hampered. Nearly a third of those surveyed who are current homeowners said they can’t afford to sell their current home and buy another one because of student loan debt. The 33-question survey was sent to 75,000 student loan borrowers, of which 3,230 responded. Two-thirds went to a public institution. Seventy-one percent are employed full time while 14 percent are part-time.

SEABROOK, NEW HAMPSHIRE

A historic industry faces a warming world

Fading ﬁshermen By Patrick Whittle

The Associated Press

The cod isn’t just a fish to David Goethel. It’s his identity, his ticket to middle-class life, his link to a historic industry. “I paid for my education, my wife’s education, my house, my kids’ education; my slice of America was paid for on cod,” said Goethel, a 30-year veteran of waters that once teemed with New England’s signature fish. But on this chilly, windy Saturday in April, after 12 hours out in the Gulf of Maine, he has caught exactly two cod, and he feels far removed from the 1990s, when he could catch 2,000 pounds in a day. His boat, the Ellen Diane, a 44-foot fishing trawler named for his wife, is the only vessel pulling into the Yankee Fishermen’s Co-op in Seabrook. Fifteen years ago, there might have been a half-dozen. He is carrying crates of silver hake, skates and flounder — all worth less than cod. One of America’s oldest commercial industries, fishing along the coast of the Northeast still employs hundreds. But every month that goes by, those numbers fall. After centuries of weathering overfishing, pollution, foreign competition and increasing government regulation, the latest challenge is the one that’s doing them in: climate change. WORLDWIDE PROBLEM

Though no waters are immune to the ravages of climate change, the Gulf of Maine, a dent in the coastline from Cape Cod to Nova Scotia, best illustrates the problem. The gulf, where fishermen have for centuries sought lobster, cod and other species that thrived in its cold waters, is now warming faster than 99 percent of the world’s oceans, scientists have said. The warming waters, in the gulf and elsewhere, have caused other valuable species, such as clams, to migrate to deeper or more northern waters. Others, such as lobsters, have largely abandoned the once-lucrative waters off the southern New England states of Connecticut and Rhode Island, having become more susceptible to disease or predators. Lobster catches in Maine are booming as the species creeps northward, but as the warming continues, that’s a good thing bound to end. A federal report from 2009 said half of 36 fish stocks studied in the northwest Atlantic Ocean have been shifting northward over the past 40 years, and the trend is likely to continue. Fish aren’t the only ones moving on, and not just in the Northeast. The U.S. fishing fleet has dwindled from more than 120,000 vessels in 1996 to about 75,000 today, the Coast Guard said. For the fishermen of the northeastern U.S. — not all of whom accept the scientific consensus on climate change, and many of whom bristle at government regulations stemming from it — whether to stick with fishing, adapt to the changing ocean or leave the business is a constant worry. WAVING THE WHITE FLAG

Robert Bradfield was one of the East Coast’s most endangered species, a Rhode Island lobsterman, until he pulled his traps out of the water for the last time about a decade ago. Bradfield, of Newport, started

David Goethel flips a cod while sorting ground fish caught off the coast of New Hampshire in April.

(AP)

in the fishery in the mid-1970s and stayed in it for some 30 years, sometimes catching 2,000 pounds of lobster a day. During his final years, he was lucky if he caught 100 pounds, not even enough to pay for bait, fuel and deckhands. He now works on a pilot boat, guiding larger ships in and out of the harbor. He is glad he’s still on the water, but he misses lobstering and the community of fishermen he used to see in Newport. “There’s probably 95 percent attrition out of that fishery in this area,” Bradfield said. “Of all the guys I fished with, I was a lobsterman for 30 years, and there’s maybe three left.” The number of adult lobsters in New England south of Cape Cod slid to about 10 million in 2013, according to a report issued last year by an interstate regulatory board. It was about 50 million in the late 1990s. The lobster catch in the region sank to about 3.3 million pounds in 2013, from a peak of about 22 million in 1997. Bradfield’s take on the role of warming oceans is nuanced and reflects the many years he spent on the water. Shell disease, he said, has taken a toll on southern New England’s lobster stock, something scientists say is a result of rising temperatures. Bradfield also agrees with scientists who say the increase in predatory fish, such as black sea bass, is bad for the lobster population. Warming oceans are responsible for the increase in those fish species off New England, scientists say.

Hampshire, its nets scouring the Gulf of Maine for fish. But the catch these days is different — with the cod in jeopardy and quotas that limit his ability to catch them at all-time lows, cod fishermen like Goethel try to eke out a living by supplementing cod with just about anything else they can catch. Goethel is making much less money. In the 1980s and ’90s, he could bring in $120,000 in a year, but is now making about $60,000, without subtracting a health insurance bill over $27,000. He and his wife, who is up every day at 4 a.m. for a farflung teaching job, haven’t taken a vacation in three years. Retirement isn’t in the cards for the 62-year-old Goethel — at least, not soon. “My wife is working far more than she used to,” he said. “I have to work more to make less.” The challenges climate change have brought to commercial fishing are perhaps most noticeable in New England’s cod fishery, which has dwindled from more than 1,200 boats in the 1980s to only a few dozen today. In that time, the catch of cod also has plummeted, from more than 117 million pounds in 1980 to a little more than 5 million in 2014. Most consumers haven’t noticed the collapse, with cod still readily available at restaurants and markets because of foreign sources, such as Iceland and Norway. Scientists said late last year

that the impact of climate change on Atlantic cod might be worse than previously thought. Fishermen pursue the fish in the Gulf of Maine and, farther off New England, the shallows of Georges Bank, both of which have experienced dramatic temperature rise. Around 2004, the gulf began warming about 10 times faster than previously. “This is what global warming looks like in the Gulf of Maine,” said Andrew Pershing, a Mainebased marine scientist who coauthored the paper last year in the journal Science. Goethel, also a marine scientist and a former member of a regional regulatory board, doesn’t bemoan the ocean’s changing temperature as much as the rules he must play by. Because of the tight quotas, he must avoid fishing around areas where cod live, he said. That is because cod are a “choke species,” and when fishermen reach their quota for cod they aren’t allowed to pursue other fish. Like others in the cod fishery, Goethel has had to adapt, but at his core he remains a cod fisherman. The experience has left him frustrated and more than a little bitter. He doesn’t dispute the scientific consensus about climate change, but he does think government regulators apply that science in a manner unnecessarily punitive to fishermen. He plastered a sticker on his boat declaring, “Who said there’s no fish?”

HANGING ON, GETTING BY

Goethel has spent most of his life fishing for New England cod, and he doesn’t want to stop now. “I could catch the entire quota for the Gulf of Maine in eight days,” Goethel said in a bit of bravado he swears is not an exaggeration. “I wouldn’t break a sweat doing it.” Fishing is in Goethel’s blood. He paid his way through Boston University by taking thrill-seekers out on “party boat” fishing trips in Boston Harbor and segued into commercial cod fishing in 1982. Today, he operates a trawler that leaves from New

In another, a young boy leans on a fence post, dreamily gazing at the camera; to his left, a second boy — maybe his little brother? — is frozen in time beside him, his head blurred as he turns to look at something out of the frame. They’re incredible photos and a rare look into the faces of Detroit’s longforgotten historic black neighborhoods. If only we knew who they were. The archivists at Wayne State University’s Walter P.

More than 90 negatives, including some prints, comprise the Edward Stanton Photographs collection at the Walter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University in Detroit. The photographs were donated to the Reuther Library in Detroit by Stanton’s nephew, who inherited the negatives after Stanton died.

Edward Stanton went on to live and work in California, but he kept the negatives from his time in Detroit. Tom Stanton said his uncle would be “thrilled and very much surprised that his photos are going to live on.”

A few of the photos feature buildings, which helped archivists determine where the images may have been taken.

Most of the images in the collection were shot on large-format or 35mm cameras.

Archivists described the photographs acquisition as a “dream collection” for the library.

t’s been very dry in Lower Michigan for six weeks. There are three reasons: •The Bermuda High is still over Bermuda. However, the air, loaded with moisture, has been shut off from moving into the middle U.S. for the past month. There are signs that late this week we will get back into humid air coming from the south. That should increase the chance of rain. •Timing of the weather systems moving through has been off. There is a peak time of rain production for a cold front. Cold fronts usually see the coverage of rain and storms increase during the late afternoon and evening. Then, after sunset, the storms start to Ironwood weaken. There 78/55 often is a secondary increase in storm coverage toward sunrise, and then the storms just fall apart in late morning and early afternoon. The timing was just wrong for rain. •The main reason why rain has been rare is persistent, strong, dry high pressure systems wanting to center right over Michigan.

Drummond to get maximum money Detroit Pistons big man Andre Drummond now has a big contract, too. Drummond agreed to terms on a five-year maximum contract worth as much as $130 million on Friday, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. Drummond Drummond was a restricted free agent, but few in the league believed he was interested in entertaining other offers. The Pistons would have had the right to match any offer made by another team, and coach and team president Stan Van Gundy made it clear the center wasn’t going anywhere. Detroit could offer Drummond more money and more years than any other team in the league, and Van Gundy put the maximum contract offer in front of him right from the start to take any guess work out of the process.

ETROIT — Baseball and the thought of returning to the major leagues helped detroit Tigers pitcher Daniel Norris get through the most difficult year of his life.

It started when the 23-yearold left-hander was diagnosed with thyroid cancer last year just prior to being traded from the Toronto Blue Jays to the Tigers at the July 30 deadline. When doctors told Norris he could wait until after the season to undergo surgery, he decided to keep pitching. Taking the mound was therapeutic. “That’s all I wanted to do,” Norris said. “They told me I could shut my season down and get it taken care of right away. But I wanted to pitch. When you’re out there, you don’t really think about anything else. “That was my place I could go not to think about it and have fun.” Between starts was different. “No doubt,” he said. “Every time you hear the word, you think about it. Whether it’s on TV or whatever. But I had a good support group and everybody was behind me, for sure.” Norris finally underwent surgery when the Tigers’ season ended and announced in October he was cancer free. The timing of the surgery was good, since it came at a time when many players were getting some rest after a long season. It put Norris only “a couple of weeks” behind schedule in his preparation for the 2016 season. But after reporting to spring training hoping for a fresh start, Norris suffered another setback when he hurt his back in the weight room. He suffered a non-displaced fracture in his spinous process March 22. He started the season on the disabled list before being assigned to Triple-A Toledo, where he worked with manager Lloyd McClendon and pitching coach Jeff Pico in an effort to get back to Detroit as quickly as possible. Norris finally returned to the big leagues when the Tigers recalled him June 21. “I felt like I couldn’t catch a break for a while, just one thing after another,” Norris said. “But you know, no matter what, I had faith in God’s plan. I just woke up every day thinking good

Big Ten: What’s next

A MLive.com

week ago, we took one last look at last season’s Big Ten basketball stars via the NBA draft before they scattered across the country to join their new home teams. Michigan State’s Denzel Washington is now in Chicago with the Bulls, Michigan’s Caris LeVert is a member of the Brooklyn Nets, and MSU’s Deyonta Davis will call

Memphis home as a member of the Grizzlies. Three other former Big Ten players — Maryland’s Diamond Stone (Los Angeles Clippers), Purdue’s A.J. Hammons (Dallas Mavericks) and Maryland’s Jake Layman (Portland Trailblazers) — also were drafted, while many others are trying to catch on as free agents. Who will be next season’s Big Ten stars?

BODYBUILDING

Mr. Michigan Duncan’s goal is to go pro By Cory Olsen

colsen@mlive.com

WYOMING — What began as a desire to be “pumped up” has developed into a two-year quest for a career in bodybuilding for Rohan Duncan. Duncan, 33, began training with John Pitsch, owner of Maximus Fitness, and found a need to compete. “I don’t know why, but something kind of sparked my interest about being on stage in bodybuilding,” Duncan said. “John’s name kept coming up, so I got his number, set up a meeting and the rest is history.” Duncan took the Mr. Michigan title at the Michigan State Bodybuilding Championships a month ago and placed fourth in the Junior Nationals in Chicago two weeks ago. It was his first national show. “The goal is to be a pro,”

Duncan said. “It’s not going to be easy. I’m proud of where I’ve come so far, but seeing these guys on the national stage, I’ve got a long way to go.” Winning the Michigan show qualifies him to compete in national shows for one year. Duncan said he’s planning on adding some mass before taking the stage again. “I need to put on some quality size to compete with those guys,” Duncan said. “I want to add some muscle maturity, density and grow my legs.” While doing that, he’ll help Pitsch prepare for his North American national show in September. “One of the reasons I want to train with him is he’s always pushing me,” Pitsch said. “A lot of people, when they train with me, they back off a little bit, but not him. He’s yelling at me,

‘Do not stop! Do not stop!’” Pitsch said one of their goals was to take 315 pounds and squat it for 30 repetitions. “Tom Platz set that goal for me,” Pitsch said of his friend and former Mr. Olympian. “(Duncan) got it, and I got it.” Duncan’s next step might be to compete in

OLYMPICS

Canton native Schmitt headed to third Olympics By Jared Purcell

japurcell@mlive.com

Allison Schmitt is headed to Rio De Janeiro for her third Olympic games in August. The Canton native, who is one of the best swimmers to come out of the state of Michigan, became the ninth female American swimmer to qualify for three Olympics. Four years after winning three gold medals, a silver medal and a bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics, Schmitt punched her ticket to Rio by taking fourth in the 200 freestyle finals during Wednesday’s U.S. Olympic trials and earning a 800 freestyle relay spot for Team USA in Rio. Last Olympics, Schmitt won gold in the 200 freestyle while setting an Olympic and American record of 1:53.61 that still stands.

On Wednesday, she qualified with a time of 1:56.72. She failed to qualify in the 400 freestyle Monday, an event she took silver in London. “I’m going to Rio,” Schmitt said in a statement to USA Swimming. “It’s been a tough four years, but I’m so happy right now.” Schmitt has battled from deep depression in the aftermath of the 2012 Olympics but recently told the Baltimore Sun she is “a completely different person and (has) a completely different attitude about everything.” Schmitt was born in Pittsburgh but grew up in Canton. She attended Canton High School and swam competitively with Club Wolverine in Ann Arbor, where she became friends and training partner with Olympic great Michael Phelps.

Allison Schmitt, shown in 2011, will compete in the 200 freestyle and the 800 freestyle relay next month for Team USA in Rio de Janeiro. (MLive.com ﬁles)

ANAHEIM, Calif. — After the Los Angeles Angels stumbled to their ninth loss in 10 games Wednesday night, manager Mike Scioscia held a closed-door meeting before they packed up and flew to Boston. Although everybody described the meeting as relatively upbeat, the Angels didn’t emerge with any big ideas on how to slow a season going south. With too many injured players and not enough big hitters, the Angels (32-47) are on pace for the worst record in franchise history. “We know we’ve seen some guys performing at their absolute worst for the first half, and we know they’re better than that,” Scioscia said. “That’s going to be our goal, to get those guys going in the right direction. ... I don’t think these guys are taking losing in stride. I think that’s a positive.” If so, it’s one of the few positives in Anaheim these days. Houston completed a three-game sweep of the Angels on Wednesday, outscoring its AL West rivals by a combined 21-7. The Angels have been swept in seven series already this season, and their 8-19 record in June was their worst in the month since 1980. Those 1980 Angels lost 95 games. The current Angels are on pace for 96 defeats — less than two years after they won 98 games for the majors’ best record. Mike Trout still is performing brilliantly, going 18 for 30 with three homers during their six-game homestand. Just about everybody else in an Angels uniform is struggling to some degree — when they’re healthy enough to put on the uniform, that is. “Our team has to be more than Mike,” Scioscia said. “We’ve been

NORRIS TO DODGERS

Making a push to stay near the top of the NL wild-card race, the Miami Marlins traded a minor league pitcher to get Fernando Rodney from San Diego on Thursday. Miami closer A.J. Ramos has converted 33 straight saves opportunities since last season, so it seems likely he will remain in that role. Rodney has 253 career saves — fifth-most among active pitchers. “Right now, until I get a chance to talk to Fernando,

FIVE THINGS TO WATCH Dreaded Cleveland

Respectable showing?

That first win must happen eventually, right? The Tigers have been outscored 60-20 in the nine losses to Cleveland. Their only lead came in a 9-3 loss to the Indians on June 26. Justin Verlander has been roughed up twice by the Indians, and the Tigers have not hit Cleveland pitching, with a .194 batting average and 71 strikeouts. The Tigers are scheduled to throw Daniel Norris, Jordan Zimmermann and Michael Fulmer.

Not only is the 11-game trip the longest of the season for Detroit, but the Tigers will enter the All-Star break having played 50 of their first 89 games on the road — more than any other AL Central team.

A respectable showing ng on this road trip would keep the he Tigers above .500 and in contention ention for the playoff chase. But ut the trip includes games against ainst the Cleveland Indians, who o have beaten the Tigers in all nine games played this season. on.

Who are your All-Stars?

Pelfrey seeks two in a row

First baseman Miguel Cabrera was trailing Kansas City’s Eric Hosmer by more than 550,000 votes. Victor Martinez was fourth among American League designated hitters and Nick Castellanos was fifth among third baseman.

Pelfrey, 2-7 with a 5.02 ERA and 1.74 WHIP, is coming off a four-run, 12-hit outing Tuesday in a win over Miami. It was just his second win in 15 starts this season. The last time he scored wins in back-to-back starts was April 2015 as a member of the Minnesota Twins.

Major League Baseball will announce selections Tuesday night for the 87th All-Star Game, but as of last week’s vote tallies, several Tigers were trailing in the fan vote.

Hard to believe, but starter Mike Pelfrey is seeking his second win in as many starts when he next takes the mound — likely today in Tampa.

Monday’s Fourth of July game against Cleveland eland has a 7 p.m. first pitch, itch, because it’s been picked up nationally by ESPN.

It marks the fifth timee the Tigers have been shown n on national television this season, with four more broadcasts asts scheduled. It’s their first st on ESPN after the April 10 game against the New York Yankees was postponed. Detroit is 1-3 in front of a national audience this season, which included a pair of games each on Fox and FS1.

Fulmer continues historic run; Martinez homers twice for Tigers By Dick Scanlon

The Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Michael Fulmer continued his record-setting rookie pitching run for the Detroit Tigers, and Victor Martinez contributed three-run homers from both sides of the plate in a 10-2 romp over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night. Fulmer (8-2) gave up two hits in seven shutout innings as the Tigers won their fourth straight. Fulmer became the first Detroit pitcher since 1913 to give up one run or fewer in eight consecutive starts. “Every night he pitches he’s been giving us a really good chance to win ballgames,” Martinez said. “That’s what you ask for.” Fulmer struck out

10 and walked one. “It’s pretty cool,” Fulmer said of his eight-game streak, during which he is 6-1 with a 0.53 ERA. “My mind is just to a win a ballgame anyway I can, so if I can throw up zeroes, that’s just a bonus. It’s a team game, and the way we’re playing right now, with the offense putting up 10 runs a night, it makes everybody else just relax and have fun playing this game.” In two wins against gainst the

Rays, Fulmer has struck out 21 of the 49 batters he has faced. “He’s good, there’s no doubt about it,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. “He pitches in, some really late life. I totally understand the success that he’s having this year.” Nick Castellanos drove in Detroit’s first run with a two-out double off Drew Smyly in the fourth. Cameron Maybin’s tworun single made it 3-0 in the sixth, extending his hitting streak to seven games during which the center fielder is hitting .500 with nine RBIs. Martinez’s 15th home run came off reliever Danny Farquhar in the seventh. His 16th was off

Enny Romero in the ninth, marking his third multihomer game since June 16. “He’s one of the best hitters I’ve ever been around, especially with runners in scoring position,” Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. “He makes the pitcher work, he can hit the ball to all fields and he can drive the ball from both sides of the plate.” LOOKING BACK

Tampa Bay was trying not to dwell on Thursday night’s 10-7 loss to Detroit, a game in which the Tigers scored eight runs in the ninth inning. “All the losses hurt — that one stung, there’s no doubt,” Cash said. According to Elias Sports Bureau, it marked

LIONS

Staﬀord could push the market By Kyle Meinke

kmeinke@mlive.com

ALLEN PARK — Matthew Stafford is one of the most polarizing athletes in Detroit. Joel Corry found that out the hard way Thursday. “You should see my Twitter mentions,” he said. “It’s crazy.” Corry is a former NFL agent. His sin: Suggesting Stafford could become the NFL’s next highest-paid player. Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck currently claims that honor, after inking an extension last week that raises his average annual income to $23.3 million. Baltimore’s Joe Flacco previously held the mark at $22.1 million. But Stafford is heading into a contract year next season, and Corry believes the Detroit Lions quarterback could be positioned to topple Luck’s record. He first made the remark during an appearance on Sirius XM radio, and later elaborated on his reasoning with MLive. “I know it sounds like it might be crazy, but it can happen,” he said. “Stafford has not been the player he was expected to be after his 2011 breakout season. He hasn’t been consistent. He’s taken a step forward, two steps backward at times. But here’s what I’m looking at: He put togeth-

A tale of two Denzels: Actor a fan of former MSU star By Kyle Austin

kyleaustin2@mlive.com

Somewhere in his rise to becoming a college basketball national player of the year winner and NBA lottery pick, Denzel Valentine caught the attention of the man he was named after. TMZ caught up with Academy Award-winning actor Denzel Washington last weekend, and asked him if he’s a fan of the former Michigan State standout with whom he shares a rare first name. “Yeah,” Washington said. “Of course I know. I actually talked to him. I tracked him down, because how many Denzels do you meet?” Washington didn’t say when he tracked down Valentine, but said he is excited that Valentine was drafted by the Chicago Bulls, who picked him No. 14 overall. Washington said he is not sure if Valentine was named after him. But in

an interview with ESPN’s SportsCenter earlier this year, Valentine’s father, Carlton, revealed Valentine indeed was named after Washington. “Denzel Washington’s always been my favorite actor,” Carlton Valentine said. “I saw him in ‘Glory,’ all of his early movies. My favorite was ‘Mo’ Better Blues.’” The shared first name has led to some confusion over the years. Valentine has been confused with Washington on several occasions, including at news conferences and in media reports. Valentine was introduced to the media Monday in Chicago, where it was revealed he will wear the No. 45. The number is famous in Chicago for being Michael Jordan’s former number, but Valentine started wearing it at Michigan State because it was his father’s number.

He looked as though he might be turning a corner in 2011, when he became one of five quarterbacks to throw for 5,000 yards in a season, but regressed the past couple years. But here’s the thing about the NFL: There is a shortage of competent starting quarterbacks. So even the average quarterbacks get paid. Consider Sam Bradford, who has never passed for 3,800 yards in a season. He’s never posted a QB rating of 90. (Stafford’s done it three times). He hasn’t thrown for more than 21 touchdowns in a season. (Stafford’s done that four times, topping

out at 41.) And he got a two-year deal from Philadelphia that averages $17.5 million annually — just behind Stafford at $17.7 million. “He hasn’t even had a good year,” Corry said. “What does that tell you about how desperate teams are for quarterbacks? “This is a league where demand exceeds supply for quarterbacks. There aren’t enough competent quarterbacks to go around. It’s an economic equation — if you let one of those types get on the open market, he’s going to do better than people expect.”

er the best eight-game stretch of his career after Jim Bob Cooter became the offensive coordinator. “If he can successfully thrive without Calvin Johnson, then Tom Condon — his agent, who (also) represents Drew Brees, both Mannings, Dez Bryant, a bunch of other players — is going to drive an extremely hard bargain. “And, I think, that’s going to set the stage for him to become the highest-paid player.” Stafford, currently 18th among the highestpaid quarterbacks, has never lived up to the hype and Corry admits that.

EAST LANSING — Before he talked about the NFL, Michigan State’s success and his own decision to leave school early, William Gholston wanted to talk about the room he was standing in. After a recent golf outing in East Lansing, Gholston stopped by the media center at Spartan Stadium, which opened in the summer of 2014. The environment — a large modern room with professional lighting and sound — stood in stark contrast to what Gholston remembered from his time at Spartan Stadium, when Michigan State’s postgame interviews were conducted in trailers outside the stadium. “I remember standing in that little hot box after the game,” Gholston said. “This is awesome.” It’s been just three years since Gholston left Michigan State for the

Nielsen’s game a good ﬁt for Detroit By Ansar Khan

PISTONS

Drummond deal would make him highest-paid Piston ever

Show him the money

By David Mayo

dmayo@mlive.com

ORLANDO, Fla. — Making Andre Drummond the highest-paid player in Detroit Pistons history is little more than a business formality. But even business formalities must be finalized. The Pistons reached an agreement with Drummond on a five-year contract that will pay him in excess of $125 million if he remains with the team throughout the full term. He can opt out in the fifth year. Drummond can not sign the contract until Thursday at the earliest, after the July 1-6 NBA moratorium period ends. The signing may not occur that soon, however, by design more than a year in the making. Drummond, last summer, agreed not to force the Pistons’ hand when he could have signed an extension of his rookie contract for identical terms to those he agreed upon Friday — a maximum contract worth 25 percent of the team’s 2016-17 salary cap, with annual raises equaling 7.5 percent of his first-year salary. The NBA salary cap will be announced this week and reportedly will exceed $94 million.

DETROIT — When it comes to two-way forwards, the Detroit Red Wings had two of the best in the NHL for several seasons during their prime in Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg. Frans Nielsen has that same mindset. He, sort of, is replacing Datsyuk, and he has a tremendous appreciation for Zetterberg. “I know Henrik a little bit,” Nielsen said. “He’s a player I’ve always looked up to and try to Nielsen copy a little bit. You’re going to see a little bit of a similar player in me.” The Red Wings signed Nielsen to a six-year, $31.5 million contract Friday minutes after the start of free agency. They needed a second-line center after Datsyuk returned to Russia and they like what Nielsen brings. “We feel he’s a 200-foot player,” Red Wings general manager Ken Holland said. “He can play both specialty team situations. He’s good on the shootout and just very responsible.” Nielsen (6-foot-1, 188 pounds) had 20 goals and 52 points in 81 games for the New York Islanders, his only club during the past 10 NHL seasons. “I always put a lot of pride in working hard and being responsible defensively,” Nielsen said. “I want to be part of the offense, too. ... I feel the all-around game is my strength. You’ve seen a lot of that from the players in Detroit and that’s why I think it’s a good fit for me.”

The Detroit Red Wings added three players, on the opening day of NHL free agency Friday.

Drummond agreed to delay his signing for a year, and become a restricted free agent this summer, because of a Collective Bargaining Agreement clause which allows teams to exceed the salary cap to re-sign its own free agents. The Drummond maneuver means as long as he signs his contract last, after all other free agency business is completed, only his $8.2 million cap hold will count against the Pistons’ cap space, not his actual 2016-17 salary of more than $21 million. That gives the Pistons almost $13 million more cap space to use this summer. The Drummond agreement is the

second major order of summer business upon which the Pistons have agreement. They reached terms with Ish Smith to be their backup point guard on a three-year, $18 million contract earlier Friday. Drummond’s new contract dwarfs the previous largest in team history, the five-year, $80 million contract signed in 2015 by point guard Reggie Jackson. The largest single-season salary for a Pistons player was Tobias Harris’ $16 million last season, though he earned most of that with the Orlando Magic before being traded to Detroit in February.

No waiting as teams make early splashes By Larry Lage

The Associated Press

Milan Lucic and Kyle Okposo, two of the NHL’s top free agents, took full advantage of two of the league’s worst teams eager to pair a veteran with a young star. The 28-year-old wingers each got $42 million, seven-year contracts Friday even though neither is a proven or prolific scorer. Okposo, coming off a 22-goal year with the New York Islanders, moved upstate to join the Buffalo Sabres, who haven’t made the playoffs since 2011 or finished higher than seventh in their division in three years. Lucic, who scored 20 times last season with the Los Angeles Kings, is following the money to play for the lowly Edmonton Oilers. NHL teams didn’t waste time making a flurry of deals on the first day of free agency. None involved a superstar player, not after Steven Stamkos decided to stay in Tampa Bay with an eight-year, $68 million contract agreed to earlier this week. Two days later, Tampa Bay signed defenseman Victor Hedman to a $63 million, eight-year extension and goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy to a $10.5 million, three-year extension. “It’s been a good week for us,” Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman said. Here’s a look at some of the other notable moves on the opening day of NHL free agency: • The New York Islanders signed forwards Andrew Ladd (seven years, $38.5 million) and Jason Chimera (two years, $4.5 million) after losing Okposo and Frans Nielsen. • The Vancouver Canucks signed winger Loui Eriksson (six years, $36 million). • After spending his entire, 10-season career in St. Louis, David Backes (five years, $30 million) bolted to play for the Boston Bruins.

BIG TEN

Who’s in, out and returning

By Brendan F. Quinn bquinn@mlive.com

ere’s a look at who’s coming, who’s going and what’s next for the 2016-17 Big Ten basketball season:

ILLINOIS 2015-16: 15-19, 5-13 Big Ten Departed: Kendrick Nunn, Khalid Lewis, Mike LaTulip Returning: Malcolm Hill, Mike Thorne Jr., Jalen Coleman-Lands, Maverick Morgan, Michael Finke, Leron Black, Aaron Jordan, D.J. Williams, Jaylon Tate, Alex Austin, Tracy Abrams Newcomers: Kipper Nichols, Te’Jon Lucas Breakdown: Hill will be a player-ofthe-year candidate, while Thorne, earning a sixth year of eligibility, was good news in a tumultuous offseason. Even with Nunn, an all-league talent, being booted, Coleman-Lands is back as one of the top young guards in the Big Ten.

INDIANA 2015-16: 27-8, 15-3 Big Ten (1st) Departed: Yogi Ferrell, Troy Williams, Max Bielfeldt, Nick Zeisloft, Ryan Burton Returning: Thomas Bryant, James Blackmon Jr., Robert Johnson, Collin Hartman, OG Anunoby, Juwan Morgan, Tim Priller, Josh Newkirk Newcomers: De’Ron Davis, Curtis Jones, Devonte Green, Grant Gelon, Freddie McSwain Breakdown: The Hoosiers lose plenty, including Ferrell, one of the greatest point guards in program history, but averted a larger exodus when Blackmon decided to bypass the draft and return to school. IOWA 2015-16: 22-11, 12-6 Big Ten Departed: Jarrod Uthoff, Mike Gesell, Anthony Clemmons, Adam Woodbury, Brandon Hutton, Andrew Fleming Returning: Peter Jok, Dom Uhl, Dale Jones, Nicolas Baer, Brady Ellingson, Ahmad Wagner, Christian Williams, Isaiah Moss Newcomers: Tyler Cook, Cordell Pemsl, Jordan Bohannon, Ryan Kriener, Maishe Dailey Breakdown: Coach Fran McCaffery breathed a sigh of relief when Jok withdrew from the draft, but his team still will be unrecognizable next year after losing four starters. MARYLAND 2015-16: 27-9, 12-6 Big Ten Departed: Diamond Stone, Robert Carter Jr., Jake Layman, Rasheed Sulaimon, Varun Rum Returning: Melo Trimble, Jared Nickens, Damonte Dodd, Jaylen Brantley, Michael Cekovsky, Dion Wiley, Ivan Bender, Newcomers: L.G. Gill, Anthony Cowan, Kevin Huerter, Justin Jackson, Micah Thomas Breakdown: Trimble kept everyone guessing, going down to the wire with his NBA decision before announcing his return. The Terps desperately needed him, as otherwise, Nickens stood as the team’s top returning scorer at 5.4 ppg. MICHIGAN 2015-16: 23-13, 10-8 Big Ten

Departed: Caris LeVert, Spike Albrecht, Aubrey Dawkins, Ricky Doyle, Kameron Chatman (transfer) Returning: Zak Irvin, Derrick Walton Jr., Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman, Duncan Robinson, Mark Donnal, Moritz Wagner, D.J. Wilson Newcomers: Xavier Simpson, Jon Teske, Austin Davis, Ibi Watson Breakdown: Despite some heavy roster turnover, Michigan will return its entire starting lineup from last year’s run to the NCAA Tournament. Depth is a major question, but the Wolverines have the major pieces in place to the return to the dance. MICHIGAN STATE 2015-16: 29-6, 13-5 Departed: Denzel Valentine, Deyonta Davis, Matt Costello, Bryn Forbes, Marvin Clark, Javon Bess, Colby Wollenman Returning: Eron Harris, Gavin Schilling, Matt McQuaid, Lourawls Nairn Jr., Alvin Ellis, Kenny Goins, Kyle Ahrens Newcomers: Ben Carter, Miles Bridges, Joshua Langford, Cassius Winston, Nick Ward Breakdown: Having lost ﬁve of its top six scorers, Michigan State has been overhauled and restocked with the best incoming class in the Big Ten. Harris is the leading returning scorer, but all eyes will be on Bridges and Langford, along with Winston and Ward. MINNESOTA 2015-16: 8-23, 2-16 Departed: Joey King, Kevin Dorsey (transfer), Carlos Morris Returning: Nate Mason, Jordan Murphy, Charles Buggs, Dupree McBrayer, Bakary Konaté, Stephon Sharp, Ahmad Gilbert, Gaston Diedhiou, Davonte Fitzgerald, Reggie Lynch Newcomers: Akeem Springs, Amir Coffey, Eric Curry, Michael Hurt Breakdown: Despite a tumultuous three years in Minneapolis, coach Richard Pitino managed to build the No. 5-ranked recruiting class in the Big Ten. NEBRASKA 2015-16: 16-18, 5-13 Departed: Shavon Shields, Benny Parker, Jake Hammond, Bakari Evelyn Returning: Andrew White III, Tai Webster, Glynn Watson Jr., Anton Gill, Jack McVeigh, Michael Jacobson, Ed Morrow, Nick Fuller Newcomers: Isaiah Roby, Jordy Tshimanga, Jeriah Horne, James Palmer (Miami transfer, must sit 2016-17) Breakdown: The Cornhuskers were among the winners in this year’s NBA draft deadline. White, a 6-foot-7 wing who averaged 16.6 ppg and 5.9 rpg last season, decided to return for his senior year, and with that, Nebraska looks formidable in 2016-17. NORTHWESTERN 2015-16: 20-12, 8-10 Departed: Tre Demps, Alex Olah, Johnnie Vassar Returning: Bryant McIntosh, Vic Law, Aaron Falzon, Derek Pardon, Scottie Lindsey, Nathan Taphorn, Sanjay Lumpkin, Joey Van Zegeren, Gavin Skelly Newcomers: Rapolas Ivanauskas, Barret Benson, Isiah Brown Breakdown: The Wildcats have

some nice pieces, but it’s tough imagining this group ending Northwestern’s perpetual NCAA Tournament drought. OHIO STATE 2015-16: 21-14, 11-7 Departed: Daniel Giddens, A.J. Harris, Mickey Mitchell, Austin Grandstaff (mid-year transfer to Oklahoma) Returning: Marc Loving, Keita BatesDiop, Jae’Sean Tate, JaQuan Lyle, Kam Williams, Trevor Thompson, David Bell Newcomers: Derek Funderburk, Micah Potter, Andre Wesson, C.J. Jackson Breakdown: Despite all that attention for mass transfers from the 2015 recruiting class, Ohio State still returns its top six scorers. PENN STATE 2015-16: 16-16, 7-11 Big Ten Departed: Brandon Taylor, Donovan Jack, Devin Foster, Jordan Dickerson Returning: Shep Garner, Payton Banks, Josh Reaves, Julian Moore, Deividas Zemgulis, Isaiah Washington, Mike Watkins, Terrence Samuel Newcomers: Tony Carr, Lamar Stevens, Joe Hampton, Nazeer Bostick, Satchel Pierce (Virginia Tech transfer, must sit 2016-17) Breakdown: It will be tough to replace Taylor, an all-everything forward, but the Nittany Lions have a nice, young nucleus headlined by Garner. PURDUE 2015-16: 26-9, 12-6 Big Ten Departed: A.J. Hammons, Rapheal Davis, Kendall Stephens (transfer to Nevada), Grant Weatherford (transfer) Returning: Caleb Swanigan, Vince Edwards, Isaac Haas, P.J. Thompson, Dakota Mathias, Ryan Cline, Basil Smotherman, Jacquil Taylor Newcomers: Spike Albrecht, Carsen Edwards Breakdown: Swanigan’s decision to return gives Purdue one of the best front courts in the country. RUTGERS 2015-16: 7-25, 1-17 Big Ten Departed: Bishop Daniels, D.J. Foreman, Omari Grier, Greg Lewis, Jalen Hyde, Justin Goode Returning: Corey Sanders, Deshawn Freeman, Mike Williams, Nigel Johnson, Jonathan Laurent, Kahlil Batie, Jake Dadika, Ibrahima Diallo, Shaquille Doorson Newcomers: Issa Thiam, Matt Bullock, Candido Sa Breakdown: Steve Pikiell replaces Eddie Jordan as head coach and comes in with a staff including former GW coach Karl Hobbs and former Pitt star Brandin Knight. WISCONSIN 2015-16: 22-13, 12-6 Departed: Jordan Smith Returning: Nigel Hayes, Bronson Koenig, Ethan Happ, Vitto Brown, Zak Showalter, Jordan Hill, Khalil Iverson, Charlie Thomas, Alex Illikainen Newcomers: Aleem Ford, D’Mitrik Trice, Andy Van Vliet Breakdown: With Hayes returning for his senior season, coach Greg Gard will bring back his top nine scorers from last year’s Sweet 16 team. Despite the upheaval of Bo Ryan’s mid-year departure last season, the Badgers might enter 2016-17 as the conference favorite.

Data shows worst times and places for cyclists

Michigan bicyclist deaths hit new high even before Kalamazoo tragedy

By Scott Levin

slevin@mlive.com

On June 7, a motorist near Kalamazoo struck a group of bicyclists. Five of the cyclists died and four were injured. While this tragedy falls into the extreme side of these incidents, year-over-year data from crashes statewide involving bicyclists, a troubling trend is revealed: Total crashes involving bikes have fallen over the past 10 years, but 2015 marked the highest number of bike-related traffic deaths. Analyzing data on traffic crashes involving bicyclists illustrates common conditions behind these accidents.

Weekdays had the most crashes. Although it stands to reason that more people are out on bikes during the weekend, the number of crashes are consistently higher Monday through Friday. Each weekday averaged 15 percent to 18 percent of all accidents; on the weekends that dropped to less than 10 percent. The percentage of total fatalities, however, doubled on Sundays, from 9 percent of fatal crashes in 2011-14 to 18 percent last year.

Evening is the most dangerous time of the week. Mondays and Fridays are the two days that see the most crashes, and the blocks of time between 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. see the most accidents of any other period. Morning workday commute times, however, registered some of the lowest percentages of crashes. Fatalities peaked later in the evening, from 6 to 10 p.m.

Summer months see the highest amount of crashes, but the 2015 data saw an uptick in fatalities during the winter. Half of all bicyclist-involved crashes and fatalities happened from May to August, not surprising, considering that’s the optimal biking season. But in 2015, a noticeable spike stands out in the winter months. From 2011-14, 11 percent of fatal crashes occurred from November to February, but in 2015 that more than doubled to 27 percent.

Two-lane roads had the most crashes, by a lot. Most road configurations saw relatively the same number of fatal crashes. Roads with three, four and five lanes all saw crashes around 1,000. Roadways with two lanes, however, had almost five times as many crashes, with 4,906. One-lane roads had 363 crashes; six- and seven-lane roads had the fewest with less than 100 — although bicycles are generally prohibited on freeways.

Live and let live By Ron Fonger

ust as the summer riding season gets rolling, Michigan bicyclists are finding themselves on an increasingly dangerous road ahead. An MLive analysis of Michigan State Police accident data shows crash fatalities involving bicyclists surged 57 percent in 2015, and the 33 deaths mark the heaviest toll in at least 18 years. “People have got to learn to slow down, pay attention and share the road,” said Paul Kissel, a veteran rider who constructed a “ghost bike” marking the location of one of 2015’s fatalities in Muskegon County. In that case, Susan Cummings, a nurse from Lake Orion, was with a large group of riders when she was struck from behind by a hit-and-run driver in August. Ronnie Jo Claflin, a Muskegon Township man, faces a potential 15-year felony for Cummings’ death. In another case, Michael Anthony Curley, 26, a Pittsfield Township father, was killed by a hit-and-run driver in Ann Arbor in November. Ahmed Abdullahi Mohamed, 25, entered a no contest plea. The fatalities totaled 33 — the most since the MSP’s Office of Highway Safety Planning started publishing annual crash fact sheets in 1997. Safety Planning spokeswoman Melody Kindraka said traffic deaths overall, which had been trending downward in Michigan, jumped 10 percent from 2014 to 2015. Alcohol-involved, bicyclist, teen and motorcycle deaths were all up more than 20 percent — but the largest increase — 57 percent — was the category for bicyclist fatalities, and those numbers don’t include five bicyclists who died after they were struck by a pickup north of Kalamazoo. “We have researchers working on” reasons for the fatal crashes, examining the time of day, weather conditions and areas of the state, Kindraka said. In April, her office promoted the state’s first pedestrian and bicyclist safety conference, focusing on traffic dynamics, planning and engineering best practices as well as the presentation of a

RISKY BEHAVIOR Here are lapses and violations that can lead to car-bike crashes, from the pamphlet “What Every Michigan Bicyclist Must Know” CYCLISTS •Bicycling against the direction of trafﬁc. •Failing to yield when required. •Running stop signs or red lights. •Riding at night in dark clothing or without lighting. •Riding into a street at mid-block. •Riding unpredictably (weaving in and out of travel lane) •“Hugging” the curb. •Riding on sidewalks.

MOTORISTS •Failing to yield when required. •”Squeezing” a cyclist by passing too close. •Turning immediately in front of a cyclist. •Driving too fast for conditions. •Opening the driver-side door into a bicyclist’s path. •Driving distracted (such as texting) or while intoxicated. •Blasting the horn or harassing bicyclists in other ways.

multi-year study of bicycle and pedestrian crashes in Michigan by Western Michigan University. Among the researchers’ findings: • More than 40 percent of the bike riders were on a sidewalk prior to the crash, suggesting a correlation with failure by the cyclist or the motorist to yield or to obey a traffic signal or sign. • About 93 percent of crashes occurred on streets without a

dedicated bike lane. • The most common risk factors were failing to yield or disregarding a traffic control (58 percent), motorist overtaking bicyclist or bicyclist overtaking motorist (27 percent), loss of control or turning error (6 percent), and bicyclists riding the wrong way (5 percent). The Western study concluded a lack of streets that accommo-

date bicyclists encourages riders to use sidewalks, where they are most prone to crashes involving failure to yield. “Emphasis on implementation of education and enforcement countermeasures is vital in reducing the frequency and severity of pedestrian and bicycle crashes,” the report recommends. One such effort has started in Grand Rapids, which adopted a “safe passing” law less than one year ago. The law requires motorists to keep at least 5 feet between their vehicle and the bicycle they are passing. The city also required bicycles for night riding to be equipped with a white light on the front and a red reflector or light on the rear. “Generally we have not heard a lot of pushback from the rule, which some could say is surprising,” said Suzanne Schulz, the city’s managing director of design and development. “I thought it might be more vocal, but because ... we are trying to identify this with safety ... the community seems to be accepting of it.”

The lives affected The people of Flint have many stories about how they have endured their crisis and are ﬁghting to get back their right to clean water from the tap. We are following up on the people who sat for portraits with MLive photographer Jake May and talked to Flint Journal reporters about their ordeal in a poisoned city.

Wanda Hunter By Brad Devereaux

Wanda Hunter, 42, said she drank Flint water until the fall of 2015, and the situation has been a challenge and a struggle. She believes skin rashes were caused by bathing in city water and worries about what can be done for people who used it for months. “Can they get something done?” she said about efforts to help Flint residents. “I think they’re prolonging it for whatever reason, I don’t know. I just wish they would start doing what they need to be doing today instead of telling people about certain things they’re not doing.” She’s concerned about the pipes being fixed, and her water bills are too high, she said. Because of the water crisis and crime in Flint, she wants to move, but probably won’t because she’s about four years from paying off her home. “I don’t know if anybody wants to buy a house during the water crisis,” she said. “They probably won’t want to move here.”

Montez Johnson By Brad Devereaux

“When I get my first water bill, I’m not paying it,” Montez Johnson said. “I think every resident in Flint should think like that.” Johnson, 42, recently moved from housing where he did not pay water bills to a place where he expects to be billed for the service. “It’s disappointing,” he said.

He said the price of city water was “ridiculous” even before the Flint crisis. “It’s a tremendous stress on our lives in Genesee County,” Johnson said. He stopped drinking city water about a year ago and goes through about eight bottles of water per day. “All day, from the time you wake up to the

Ray Thompson time you go to sleep, you’re constantly using water,” he said. National attention on Flint is fading, he said, but the people still need help. “Now that the whole world knows we got contaminated water, we’re still paying for water,” he said. “Sound off the horn; let the nation know we’re still dealing with this.”

By Brad Devereaux

Ray Thompson, 58, said he walks about a block and a half twice a week to a church near his house to get cases of water. He doesn’t have a car, and he grabs the smaller cases of water and walks with them on his back and shoulders. “It’s convenient,” he said about the location, “but you gotta be careful carrying it and don’t

carry the big bottles or you’ll hurt yourself.” Before he switched to bottled water about a year ago, Thompson said he was sick and vomited multiple times, and he believes Flint water could be to blame. “I don’t mess with the water at home,” said Thompson, a renter. “I only shower in it and wash my hands. I don’t drink it.”

“I don’t mess with the water at home.” He’s been seeing doctors about his concerns, he said. “I’m trying to figure that out,” he said.

NEW YORK

Flint doesn’t turn up in EPA violation data, but 5,000 other cities do By Brady Dennis

The Washington Post

More than 5,000 community water systems across the country violated federal rules governing lead testing in 2015, according to a report released Tuesday. The analysis by the nonprofit Natural Resources Defense Council, which examined data from the Environmental Protection Agency, identified failures by 5,126 systems to properly monitor for lead, treat water to reduce corrosion in pipes or report testing results to the public or to regulators. The report also found that despite those 7,783 documented violations of the EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule, the agency took a formal enforcement action in only 907 cases. “This lack of accountability sends a clear message to water

suppliers. ... There is no cop on the beat,” the authors wrote. “In almost 90 percent of cases, neither the states nor the EPA takes any formal enforcement action,” said co-author Erik Olson, who directs the advocacy group’s health programs. “The cop is sitting there watching everybody run stoplights and stop signs and never bothers to write anybody a ticket.” The analysis does not suggest that the nearly 18 million Americans served by those water systems actually have excessive lead in their water. For starters, only a small number of taps in any community are tested for lead, and results can vary widely from home to home. But Olson and others said the sheer number of violations and lack of enforcement mean that “millions and millions of people

are being put at risk.” The EPA on Tuesday said officials recognize “ongoing challenges in compliance” and are revising federal lead-testing regulations. They also are working closely with states — which are “the first line of oversight,” the agency’s statement noted. On the question of enforcement, the EPA said its response to specific violations varies. It can include technical or compliance assistance, issuing notices of violation or formal administrative or judicial enforcement. Many of the systems with violations in 2015 are working with state and federal regulators to resolve them, the agency said. The NRDC said about 1,000 systems serving nearly 4 million people reported exceeding the EPA’s “action level” of 15 parts per billion of lead in their drink-

ing water from 2013 to 2015. That’s a significant total but far fewer than the number with monitoring or reporting violations. In addition, 198 water systems failed last year to meet requirements to properly treat water with anti-corrosion chemicals. Those systems serve nearly a half-million people. NRDC officials said they also worry about what isn’t getting reported. For instance, despite Flint’s crisis, the city isn’t among those listed as having violated federal standards in 2015. That alone suggests that the scope of violations is likely much larger than the violations that get reported, the group argues. “If Flint’s extraordinary leadcontamination problems are not included in the EPA’s official compliance data,” the authors

write, “how many other municipalities’ serious lead problems are being swept under the rug?” The report advocates for infrastructure investments to remove the millions of lead service lines that remain underground. NRDC also is pushing for ongoing relief for Flint residents, updating drinking water laws and giving a voice to the low-income, often minority communities that frequently bear the burden of environmental hazards. “The bottom line is that lead is found in drinking water in cities well beyond Flint, often affecting vulnerable lowerincome communities of color,” NRDC President Rhea Suh said in announcing the findings of Tuesday’s analysis. “Unsafe drinking water is a national problem that needs a national solution.”

Supreme Court

Abortion limits in doubt

By Lauren Gibbons

lgibbon2@mlive.com

Monday’s U.S. Supreme Court decision to strike down Texas regulations of abortion clinics opens the door for lawsuits in Michigan and other states. The ruling, which came down 5-3 Monday morning, sided with Texas clinics that argued the state’s regulations were a thinly veiled attempt to make it harder for women to get an abortion. Justice Stephen Breyer’s majority opinion held that the regulations — specifically rules requiring doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals and requiring clinics to meet hospital-like standards for outpatient surgery — are medically unnecessary and unconstitutionally limit a woman’s right to an abortion. Breyer wrote that “the surgical-center requirement, like the admitting privileges requirement, provides few, if any, health benefits for women, poses a sub-

stantial obstacle to women seeking abortions and constitutes an ‘undue burden’ on their constitutional right to do so.” Michigan does not have a requirement for admitting privileges, but language similar to what was struck down in Monday’s ruling on outpatient surgery clinics performing abortions signed into law by Gov. Rick Snyder in 2012. Abortion rights advocates say the court’s decision apply here. “It provides a framework for possible challenges to laws in other states,” said Lori Carpentier, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan, the political advocacy arm of the organization. “Here in Michigan, we’ll be looking at that.” Carpentier said Planned Parenthood brought two of its centers into compliance with the 2012 law at a cost of $1 million. She argued the changes had “virtually no benefit to patients.” Sen. Rebekah Warren, D-Ann

Arbor, said the court’s decision also validates arguments that regulations targeting women’s health care and no other medical providers should not stand. She said the Legislature should take a cue from the high court and repeal laws “designed to make it more difficult” for women to access services. The decision reaffirms every woman’s constitutional right to making her own health decisions without undue burdens, said U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Dearborn. “Now we must ensure that every woman — no matter where they live or how much they earn — can get comprehensive, safe, quality health care when they need it,” she said. State Republican Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel decried the ruling, saying it strips states of their power. “Today’s Supreme Court ruling flies in the face of our constitutional rights, taking more power away from states and putting it in the hands of the federal gov-

ernment,” she said. Right to Life of Michigan stated in a blog post that the decision was “disappointing, but not surprising,” and would continue to allow substandard clinics to operate throughout the country. “Five justices on the U.S. Supreme Court are now in charge of health regulations at abortion clinics, not state regulators,” the blog states. Justices Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan joined Breyer in the majority. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented. Thomas wrote that the decision “exemplifies the court’s troubling tendency ‘to bend the rules when any effort to limit abortion, or even to speak in opposition to abortion, is at issue.’” Thomas was quoting a dissent from the late Justice Antonin Scalia. — The Associated Press contributed to this report.

SETTING AND RESETTING THE REGULATIONS So-called Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers laws in Texas have fallen, and so could others across the nation. Still other anti-abortion laws just went into effect. OLD RULES The justices’ decision struck down Texas requirements for clinics and other facilities along with requirements for providers. Here is a rundown of such TARP laws across the nation, from the nonprofit Guttmacher Institute, which supports abortion rights. For providers, Texas and 10 other states required doctors to have hospital privileges to admit patients. That is in effect in Missouri, North Dakota, Tennessee and Utah. It is on hold pending litigation in Alabama, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Wisconsin. There is no requirement in Michigan. For facilities, Texas and 21 other states required hospitallike standards for outpatient surgery. That is in effect in Michigan, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah and Virginia. It is on hold in Kansas. Additionally, Michigan law specifies the size of the procedure room and corridor width as well as the clinic’s maximum distance from a hospital (30 minutes). Texas and 18 other states have one, two or all three of those requirements. NEW RULES New laws targeting abortion took effect Friday in about one-fifth of the states, initiating another wave of restrictions just days after the Supreme Court ruling. Some of the laws limit when and how the procedure can be performed. Others restrict what can be done with tissue from aborted fetuses.

Next up: Michigan, 7 others Planned Parenthood says it will take justices’ ruling back to court in states that require waiting periods and counseling before the procedure By Danielle Paquette

The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Four days after the Supreme Court tossed a set of Texas abortion restrictions that wiped out half the state’s clinics, Planned Parenthood announced a campaign to repeal similar laws across the country, arguing the legal defense of rules that are not “medically necessary” has evaporated. Opponents of abortion, meanwhile, are bracing to fight back. “We’ve reached a tipping point,” said Helene Krasnoff, senior director of public policy litigation and law at the Planned Parenthood Action Fund. “These laws are unjust, dangerous and they’re unconstitutional.” She named eight states with regulations Planned Parenthood intends to soon fight: Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. “With more to come,” Krasnoff added. She didn’t break down which laws, specifically, the organization will first target. The high court’s decision struck down part of a 2013 Texas law the state’s attorney general

said was designed to protect women’s health. House Bill 2, as it’s known, required abortion clinics to meet ambulatory surgical center standards and doctors to have admitting privileges at a local hospital. After the measure passed, the number of abortion clinics in Texas shrank from 44 to 19 — a consequence, advocates said, of the high cost of adding and maintaining surgical standards. Some hospital leaders opposed to abortion, meanwhile, denied privileges to doctors who terminated pregnancies, rendering them unable to practice under the rules. Amy Hagstrom Miller, owner of Whole Woman’s Health, the group of abortion clinics at the center of the case, said the law did nothing to protect women’s health but quashed access to a legal medical procedure. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg agreed in her concurrence: “Many medical procedures, including childbirth, are far more dangerous to patients, yet are not subject to ambulatory surgicalcenter or hospital admittingprivileges requirements.” HUNDREDS OF NEW LIMITS

Over the past five years, state lawmakers have passed at least 300 abortion restrictions, wiping out clinics across the country. The measures passed quickly in Republican-dominated statehouses: Indiana, for example,

adopted a law in March that requires women to learn about perinatal hospice services before they may terminate a pregnancy. Louisiana tripled the state’s mandatory waiting period in May from 24 hours to 72. Arizona that month blocked Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid dollars. ‘NOT A BLANK CHECK’

Carol Tobias, president of the National Right to Life Committee, which helps states shape abortion restrictions, said she wasn’t surprised to hear about Planned Parenthood’s reenergized goal to beat back regulations — and she expects only measures identical to those blocked by the Supreme Court will be vulnerable to appeal. “They’ve decided the Supreme Court decision is going to give them the leeway to strike down a lot of laws, but I don’t see that happening,” Tobias said. “It doesn’t mean a blank check to get rid of everything.” Once legislatures reconvene next year, she said, abortion opponents will focus on pushing legislation that safeguards the fetus. The NRLC seeks to ban a method called dilation and evacuation, commonly used to terminate pregnancies after 12 weeks, which they say involves “dismemberment.” At least three states have introduced bills to end the procedure. Some states have already

backed away from abortion regulations that mirrored the restrictions in the Texas law. Before Monday’s court decision, 10 states also required doctors who terminated pregnancies to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. Six fought the measures in court. Hours after the ruling, Alabama’s attorney general declared he would no longer attempt to appeal a 2014 decision that deemed the state’s admitting-privilege law unconstitutional, saying the state could not make a “good faith argument” in light of the justices’ decision. The next day, the Supreme Court declined to review court cases challenging Wisconsin’s and Mississippi’s rules, upholding lower court rulings that bar admitting-privilege laws. And on Wednesday, a federal judge blocked an Indiana law that outlaws abortions because of a fetal genetic abnormality . It’s unclear how, exactly, Planned Parenthood will go to battle over the restrictions in the first eight states on its list. They all require women seeking abortions to wait at least 24 hours and receive state-mandated counseling. Detractors of the rules say they put an unfair burden on women, who must arrange for two days of travel, which sometimes includes hotel stays and childcare. Supporters say they’re critical to informed consent.

“Typically, in a major election year, we see a decrease in the number of abortion restrictions enacted,” said Elizabeth Nash, who tracks state policies at the Guttmacher Institute. “But this year, we’ve seen a bit of an uptick.” Here’s where new laws kicked in: Limits on remains: Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Indiana and South Dakota. Defunding Planned Parenthood: Florida, Mississippi and Missouri. Limits on prodecures: Indians law banned abortions because of the fetus’ race, sex or genetic abnormalities, such as Down syndrome. A federal judge has blocked the law. South Dakota banned most abortions at 20 weeks of pregnancy, allowing misdemeanor charges against providers but not pregnant women. Mississippi prohibited a commonly used second-trimester abortion procedure, called dilation and evacuation, in which the fetus is dismembered. Florida now requires abortion physicians to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals or the clinic to have a patient transfer agreement. It is similar to the Texas law struck down Monday. Idaho requires abortion providers to give women information about where they can receive free ultrasounds. Georgia now offers grants for “pregnancy resource centers” that typically discourage abortions. — David A. Lieb,The Associated Press

State near bottom of ‘patriotic’ ratings

“Their dream and their great desire ... was to get the debt paid off and to get a local school board.” GOV. RICK SNYDER, ON WHAT DETROIT RESIDENTS TOLD HIM THEY WANTED FROM A RESCUE PLAN

By Aaron Blake

The Washington Post

Patriotism is an inherently difficult thing to quantify. It means different things to different people, certainly. Which makes measuring it an inherently flawed exercise. But a new study from WalletHub gives it the old college try, basing its data-heavy rankings on 12 measures from sources including the U.S. Census Bureau, the Defense Department and voter-turnout data, among many others. Half of its score is based on military engagement, while half is based on civic engagement — voting, volunteering and more. The conclusion: Virginia is the most patriotic state in the country. In fact, it’s PROUD the only state ... OR NOT? that scores in the top 10 on The most and both military least patriotic and civic states, according engagement. to a study by The least WalletHub patriotic? New Jersey.

N.J. 19.47 Alaska ranks second on military enlistments but 49th on voter turnout. Because there tend to be bigger differences in military engagement than in civic engagement — particularly on military enlistments, which accounts for a whopping 25 percent of every state’s score — states with good scores on the military tend to be higher on the list. It’s a big reason why red states overall have a better average score than blue states. Again, this is all subjective. (One of the civic-engagement measures used, for example, is Google searches for American flags. It’s a very small portion of a state’s overall score — less than 2 percent — but a good example of the subjectivity we’re talking about.) Below are five highest-scoring states (from the top down) and lowest-scoring states (from the bottom up) on some of the 12 measures used by the study: PERCENTAGE OF ENLISTMENTS

LANSING

Long-awaited study sets an ideal spending ﬁgure By Emily Lawler

elawler@mlive.com

The results of a major study on how Michigan finances education are in, and the study found that a subset of “notably successful” school districts spend $8,667 per student. As of the 2014-15 school year, districts received an average of $9,457 per pupil in state, local and federal dollars. Most received the minimum state grant of $7,126 per pupil, but local funding widely varies. The Legislature passed a bill requiring the study in 2014 as part of a roads package that ultimately failed. The state contracted with Denver-based consulting firm Augenblick, Palaich and Associates to complete the study, and a final report materialized Tuesday. Here are some of its findings:

A “notably successful” district spends $8,667 per pupil. The study found 58 of the state’s 540 districts met the success criteria and recommended that figure be used as the perstudent base in Michigan. Here’s where districts spend that money: • Instruction: $4,983. • Administration: $884. • Support: $875. • Food service: $316. • Transportation: $355. • Maintenance and operations: $862. • Community service: $206. • Adult education: $15. • Other expenditures: $172.

Special education funding is hard to track. “Accounting for these expenditures is complex,” notes the report. It recommended creating a system to track actual special education expenditures at the district level.

District inequity is increasing. The report found that Michigan’s school finance system was moderately inequitable, and several measures showed districts getting farther apart instead of closer together. “The state should be concerned that many of the measures of equity and fiscal neutrality have trended up slightly in recent years, suggesting that the school finance system may get getting less equitable over time,” the report noted. State and local revenues ranged from $6,946 to $27,314 per student, representing a 4:1 ratio.

Demographics can aﬀect test performance. The study found that: •A 10 percent increase in economically disadvantaged students was associated with a 4 percent decrease in math proficiency and a 3 percent decrease in reading proficiency. •A 10 percent increase in African-American students was associated with a 2 percent decrease in math proficiency and a 3 percent decrease in reading proficiency. •A 10 percent increase in percentage of Hispanic students was associated with a 2 percent increase in reading proficiency. The study suggests weighting funding for students with high English language-learning and at-risk students.

Spending more may improve results. The study found that a spending increase of $1,000 per student was associated with a 1 percent proficiency increase for both math and reading. To see the full report, visit bit.ly/MichSchools.

Generation EU: British vote often pitted old against young By Raphael Satter

The Associated Press

The day after Britain voted to leave the European Union, 69-year-old Mary Crossley of London said she got a phone call from her 31-year-old daughter. She seemed pretty annoyed. “‘You’ve messed us up, Mum,”’ Crossley said her daughter told her. “She kept telling me off.” Crossley and her husband, Barry, had cast their ballots for a British exit — or Brexit — from the 28-nation EU. Crossley said her daughter, Elizabeth, had voted to remain in the union, fearing that the economic turmoil triggered by a Brexit would harm her husband’s business. It wasn’t a serious dispute. Mary, interviewed at her north London home, said she was now looking after her daughter’s beagle mix. Still, the family’s intergenerational angst is an illustration of how the June 23 referendum did more than just pit the “leave” forces against the “remain” side. In many cases, it pitted the old against the young.

In interviews with The Associated Press, Brits in their 20s and 30s described disagreements between euroskeptic parents and their more internationally minded children. The more passionate disagreements led to angry phone calls, accusatory text messages and — in one or two cases — parents and children who haven’t spoken since the EU referendum results became known early June 24. The reasons for the family feuds are as diverse as the families themselves, but for many young supporters of the “remain” camp, it’s the prospect of seeing their parents shut the gates to Europe that galls, particularly as Britain’s baby boomers prepare to bequeath their children a national debt of more than 1.6 trillion pounds ($2.1 trillion.) “We will never know the full extent of the lost opportunities, friendships, marriages and experiences we will be denied,” 25-year-old Nicholas Barret wrote in a widely shared missive to the Financial Times.

“Freedom of movement was taken away by our parents, uncles, and grandparents in a parting blow to a generation that was already drowning in the debts of our predecessors.” Surveys show a notable division between Britain’s young and old on Brexit; an Ipsos MORI survey showed 64 percent of those aged 18 to 35 favored the “remain” side, with 60 percent of those 55 and older backing Brexit. The telephone survey was conducted June 21-22 and had a margin of error of 4 percent. One expert said there was a clear age gap, but he added that was a feature of every election. “The generational thing was entirely expected, but it’s being played up because the overall outcome was so unexpected,” said Justin Fisher, a professor of political science at Brunel University London. He laughed at the idea — floated by some disappointed youngsters — that the older generation had effectively stolen the vote from their children.

Barry and Mary Crossley, both 69 and of north London, voted for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union, but their daughter voted to stay in. (AP)

“You can’t deny the vote to someone because they’re likely to die in 10 years,” he noted, adding that the youth turnout was, as is almost always the case, well below that of their elders. “Had younger people turned out in higher numbers than they did, ‘remain’ might have won,” Fisher said. Barry Crossley said he’d voted against the EU in 1975, when it was still called the European Economic Community, during Britain’s last referendum on

membership. “I voted to stay out then,” he said with a smile. “I knew it was going to be bad.” While social media has served up tales of dramatic fallingsout between children and their parents over Britain’s place in Europe, others merely had goodtempered differences of opinion. “Although we disagreed, we didn’t have a disagreement,” said 25-year-old paralegal Maia Duffield, who voted to remain while her father voted to leave.

Personal Finance&Tech PRODUCTIVITY SLOWDOWN

Dave Ramsey

Productivity, the amount of output per hour of work, is the key factor that determines how fast living standards can rise. It allows a company to pay its workers higher wages without having to raise prices, though in recent years pay gains for most Americans have not kept up with productivity. The trouble is productivity growth recently has been terrible, averaging annual gains of just 0.5 percent in the past five years. That compares to average productivity growth of 2.6 percent in the eight years before the Great Recession

Finance and family boundaries My parents left their six-figure jobs to enter the ministry when I was in high school. That was 10 years ago, and my mom still regularly asks me to share my money with them. I don’t mind helping out once in a while, but this has been going on for a long time, and I’ve started feeling bitterness about the requests and their bad financial decisions. My mom also tries to make me feel bad sometimes if I can’t afford to give them as much as they want. She constantly references their calling, and that I should want to help with that. How can I stop this pattern? This is not a healthy situation for anyone involved. By consistently giving or loaning your parents money, you’ve lost respect for them in the process. The relationship has become strained, and that’s a tough thing for anyone to deal with — especially in a parentchild situation. On top of all that, your mom sounds like a travel agent for guilt trips. It seems like she’s

working you over while implying it’s all really for God. That’s toxic. Going into the ministry is an admirable thing. However, I remember a guy in the Bible named Paul who made tents while he conducted his ministry. I’m paraphrasing, of course, but his line was something like, “If you don’t work, you don’t eat.” He had a job, remember? So, suggesting that someone work outside the ministry while trying to do God’s work isn’t mean or unfair. No one should do this to their child, and it’s going to be hard to unravel it all and turn it into a respectable situation. I hope everyone will consider sitting down with a mature third party, and developing a situation where you’re no longer giving or lending them money. In the meantime, read a book called “Boundaries,” by Dr. Henry Cloud. After that and some objective intervention, I think this situation will become a lot healthier for everyone.

Business tips from SCORE

From the checkout line to online apps

mong the many attributes helping fuel the growth of e-commerce is the emergence of near-seamless, secure checkout and payment processes. All it takes is a few seconds for a customer to enter the required credit card and address information, and receive confirmation of the purchase. Thanks to a variety of new smartphone-based technologies such as mobile credit card reader apps, brick-and-mortar retailers can now offer their in-person customers the same kind of expedited experience; and they don’t even have to be in the store to do it. Cards can be read and purchases made instantly at the customer’s location, a trade show or an outdoor fair. Of course, it’s essential that the retailer accepts credit cards — something a surprising number of small businesses aren’t set up to do according to Jared Fliesler, General Manager for Growth & Strategy for Square, one of the most popular reader apps. “A lot of small businesses don’t seem to know about how accepting credit cards can help their business, beyond just making it easier for their customers to pay,” Fliesler said. “Average tickets are higher with credit card than cash, and credit card acceptance

can increase sales by 20 to 30 percent.” And with tools like Square, PayAnywhere, ROAMPay, and PayPal Here, a retailer can maximize the ease of making those high-volume purchases anywhere in the store, or most anywhere else. All that’s needed is a suitable smartphone, the app and plug-in reader and a cell signal. Most automatically calculate sales tax and provide email confirmation to the customers, while others, such as Square, deposit the money directly into the business’ bank account within seconds of the transaction. “Again, this kind of access to cash is incredibly important to small business owners,” Fliesler said. While the basic operation of mobile credit card reader apps is the same, the products and services have differences the retailer should evaluate. Some apps work with only certain smartphones and credit/debit cards. Another on-the-go technology that can help streamline retail operations is the portable data terminal (PDT), which can be used to expedite accurate inventories, create and process orders. Similarly, hand-held computers and compact tablet computers allow retailers and their staff to place and process in or out of the store.

On the lookout for online scammers

Bay is well-known as a place to find amazing deals. Unfortunately, this also makes it an ideal platform for scammers, because deals that sound too good to be true are more difficult to spot. Here are three eBay scams taking place across the country. Read on so you don’t become a victim.

No product, no refund Fox 17 in West Michigan recently shared the story of a man named Bob Masters who was victimized by this scam. Masters was trying to find unique tools when he stumbled across the perfect listing from an eBay seller. A few things seemed suspicious at first, but nothing seemed completely implausible. The posting said that the parts were located in China and would need to be shipped overseas. The parts were also listed well below their market value. Masters felt victorious that he was getting a good deal. Masters purchased the tools and waited for them to arrive, but when they never came he assumed they had been lost in shipping. It was then that he reached out to the seller, who offered to send Masters a replacement. The replacement tools never arrived either, so Masters reached out to the seller again. At this point, he was told that he had been issued a refund and instructed to confirm the payment had arrived in his PayPal account. But the payment wasn’t there. The whole ordeal took months to play out with all of the back-and-forth between Masters and the seller. And by the time Masters realized he wasn’t getting the tools, or his money back, it was too late for eBay to get involved. eBay does offer a 30-day money back guarantee, but that didn’t help in this instance. PayPal has recently extended its time limit, allowing users up to six months to dispute a

Some worry productivity gains through computers and the internet already have hit their peak. But optimists argue newer technology still could boost productivity. Economists at Goldman Sachs are forecasting productivity will rebound to 1.5 percent growth rates in future years. Yellen said she is “cautiously optimistic.”

Nigerian shoppers Deonte Ray’s story was reported by Channel 2 News in Charleston, South Carolina. He was trying to sell his cellphone on eBay, and believed he’d found the buyer in Nigeria. So, he sent his girlfriend, Rashaundra Miller, to mail the phone at the local post office. Once there, a postal worker named Debbie Poole saw that the package was being sent to Nigeria. She began asking very pointed questions. She warned Miller that it was likely a scam, but Miller was hesitant to believe her. Believing Poole was

just being overly cautious, Miller called her boyfriend and asked that he verify that the payment had been made. When Ray checked his PayPal account, the funds were pending. Pending and received are two very different things. This is what Poole pointed out to the couple. With that in mind, Ray reached out to PayPal and confirmed no recent activity had taken place on his account. Luckily, this scam was stopped before any money was lost. Had the package been shipped, the couple would have been out the cost of the phone, which was about $500. There may not always be someone like Poole around to tip you off when it looks like a scam. That’s why you should always be on your toes, and avoid transactions with buyers or sellers who live out of the country.

Scalpers We featured Danielle Posner’s story in an article about the major scams to look out for on Craigslist. But Craigslist isn’t the only place where scalpers take advantage of unsuspecting buyers. According to the Guardian, similar scams are taking place in New York. In fact, the issue has become such a concern that Eric Schneiderman, the state Attorney General, has become involved. Schneiderman has gained a reputation for actively cracking down on outlandishly high ticket prices and fraudulent ticket sales. In an effort to protect consumers, Schneiderman has even

sent letters to eBay, asking the company to help get the issue under control. eBay is viewed as essential in this effort, since the company also owns StubHub and Ticketmaster. In this case, the scam is carried out by fraudulent ticket brokers who buy thousands of tickets to an event, then resell them at higher prices. The process is often automated, which means regular buyers may not even have a chance to purchase the tickets at their normal prices. Instead, a computer sweeps in, using thousands of different credit card numbers to work around purchasing caps made by the ticketing software. To the ticketing software, these automated buyers look legitimate. But they’re not. True brokers have several guidelines they have to follow, as well as licenses they must obtain to legally sell tickets to consumers. They’re also expected to pay a $25,000 bond to cover any fraud claims by customers. So, be careful if you’re looking for tickets to an upcoming event. If it seems you’re paying more than you should be, you could be buying from one of these automated brokers. Avoid this by purchasing your tickets from the venue directly. — Kim Komando hosts the nation’s largest weekend radio talk show as she takes calls and dispenses advice on today’s digital lifestyle.

Advice Carolyn Hax / Tell Me About It

Asking for favors is an ambush Dear Carolyn: Not long ago I asked my sister, “Could you do me a favor?” She replied, “Tell me what it is first.” I was taken aback by her response. It turned out she could not. I then asked a friend, who said, “I sure hope so, what is it?” What a difference her tone and response made. Let me state that I hate to rely on others, especially my sister. — Sensitive I can’t do anything about your sister, and nor can you, really. There are two ways you can help yourself here, though, that don’t rely on anyone else. The first is in your signature: “sensitive.” You can decide not to let it get to you when someone is a few social cues short of graceful. Whether you stop asking your sister for favors altogether, or go into these conversations knowing she’s terse and prickly, or remind yourself afterward that your discomfort with asking means you’ll always emerge feeling icky — you can work your own dials to limit your sensitivity. The second thing you can do is banish the “Could you do me a favor?” phrasing from your lexicon completely. It’s both mealy — since you’re just padding what you really want with an introductory ask — and an ambush, since you’re forcing an answer before you disclose all the facts. The two encounters you describe here are both telling you this in their different ways; your sister and friend both essentially said, Please just state what you want. So, please just state what you want: “I can’t drive myself to the doctor next Tuesday because I’m getting anesthesia. Would you be able to take me?” That leaves them nothing to navigate except a simple yes or no. Write to Carolyn Hax at Tell Me About It, Sunday Source, 1150 15th St. NW, Washington, DC 20071.

Hints From Heloise

Use glow sticks in emergencies Dear Heloise: We have had terrible storms recently, and our lights have gone out often. While looking for a flashlight during the last one, I noticed that I had a number of glow sticks that my children received at a party. I snapped them and stuck them in glasses in the bathroom, on a hall table and in the living room. They worked really well. I am stocking up on them, just for emergencies. — Jane from Kansas Jane, this is a wonderful hint and one I hope my readers will heed, especially if they live in an area that is prone to power outages. Glow sticks will last a LONG time. I have some that are a few years old, so I popped one as a test, and lo and behold … glow in the dark! You can find them at most sporting good stores and on the internet. — Heloise Write to Heloise at P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, by fax to 210-HELOISE. Email: Heloise@heloise.com

Harriette Cole/ Sense & Sensibility

Reader needs help with ﬁring receptionist Dear Harriette: I work at a small stone company. Recently, I’ve been noticing my receptionist has been slacking. She forgets appointments, doesn’t answer every phone call and doesn’t forward emails or calls. I know it is time to fire her, but I’ve never had to do this. I’ve held my position for only a year, and I don’t know what to do. I read online that you can either tell the employee a white lie to make it easier or just be completely honest while firing someone. Should I let her down easy or tell her the truth? — You’re Fired, Memphis, Tennessee Dear You’re Fired: I think you have skipped a step. Before firing your receptionist, you must talk to her. Point out that you have noticed a change in her behavior. Provide the list of incidents that have caused you concern. Ask her what is going on with her. When people’s behavior changes significantly, it is often an indication of personal challenges or conflicts. Ask your receptionist what she thinks is causing her to slip up on the job. Follow up with asking her whether she wants to keep her job. If the answer is yes, give her a 30 to 90-day probationary period with a list of expectations that she is to meet in order to keep her job. After the probationary time, if she has not improved, then you can fire her. As far as truth-telling goes, I always believe you should tell an employee the truth so that the person can learn. By offering to support her through this period, you also guard against some negative feelings, although that cannot be your goal as a boss.

Dear Harriette: I live in the same area as a lot of my family. My cousins and siblings have started to have children of their own and have called upon the rest of us to baby-sit occasionally. Being the youngest of the bunch, I never grew up around younger people — everyone was older. I hate baby-sitting my new little cousins. I don’t know what to do with them; it’s not like they can make conversation! I feel like I have to be so careful with toddlers, and I can’t really incorporate them into my day-to-day activities. For example, I’ll want to walk my dog, but the kid doesn’t and cries on the floor because it wants television. I feel like I’m not doing anything wrong, I just want to have the kids do what I want to do. I’d feel like a bad family member if I refused to look after kids, but they put a total damper on my day because I can’t do anything with them. — Not Super-Nanny, Atlanta Dear Not Super-Nanny: Start by asking the parents for suggestions on how to entertain their children. Learn about the children’s personalities and unique preferences. When you do agree to watch them, accept the reality that your focus should be on them, not on your desires. When you need them to do something with you, speak with authority and ask for their support. Walking the dog can be fun if you invite them to participate.

Dealing with offensive odors M

any years ago, Nok-Out and I met completely by accident. We found each other during my desperate search for ways my readers could deal with extremely offensive odors. I’ve used Nok-Out continuously in my home and business since then, and have recommended it to readers facing serious and potentially expensive odor issues.

Dear Mary: I am a loyal EC reader. You recently suggested diluting Nok-Out by adding 4 parts water to 1 part Nok-Out. I always wondered if you could do that, but didn’t want to risk wasting the product by testing it and being wrong. Some of my clothes were terribly odorous, and I couldn’t get the smell out no matter how many times I washed them. I was about ready to throw them away. After reading your column, though, I diluted the Nok-Out as you said, soaked my clothes in the solution, wrung them out and then washed them. It worked! Nok-Out saved my clothes. The odor is completely gone. This product is definitely worth the money. — Robyn Dear Robyn: That’s great news! NokOut is so highly concentrated that it is still highly effective when diluted to the 4-to-1 solution. There are times you can dilute it even more than that, but there are also (rare) times you really need to use it at full strength.

Children should defend themselves

Write to Harriette Cole at United Feature Syndicate, 200 Madison Ave., New York, NY 10016. Email: askharriette@harriettecole.com

Should children be taught to defend themselves when physically attacked, or should they “turn the other cheek”? We’ve taught our kids that physical violence is never acceptable. Unfortunately, the school playground is a rough and painful place for our son, and he’s already dreading the upcoming school year. Given your conflicting feelings, perhaps it’s best to first look at the idea of “turning the other cheek.” As we see it, this teaching has a very narrow application. It’s mainly concerned with the issue of personal revenge or retaliation, not self-defense. But loving one’s neighbor sometimes requires a willingness to use force to defend others who are being abused and mistreated. I don’t believe your son should be anyone’s personal punching bag. Instead, he should be equipped with a plan of action and trained to respond, not simply react. It sounds like you’ve taught your children to cooperate with others as much as possible — and that’s great. But in cases where their physical safety is at risk, they should be prepared to defend themselves appropriately. Send your questions to Focus on the Family, P.O. Box 444, Colorado Springs, CO 80995.

High school junior uses classroom’s 3-D printer to build a prosthetic hand for 6-year-old brother

Teen gives brother a hand By Moriah Balingit

The Washington Post

igh school student Gabriel Filippini was in technology teacher Kurt O’Connor’s study hall when he approached the teacher with an unusual question: Could they use the classroom 3-D printer to build his little brother a hand?

Lucas Filippini was born without a left hand and, through kindergarten, was able to do nearly everything other little boys could, including zipping up his jacket, riding a bike, even gripping monkey bars using his palm. But in elementary school, Lucas encountered a problem he couldn’t solve: he could not tie his shoelaces. So Gabriel, a rising junior at Loudoun County’s Park View High School in Sterling, Virginia, and his family had begun exploring getting Lucas a prosthetic hand. They signed up for a donated one from Enabling the Future, an organization that enlists volunteers to use 3-D printers to build hands. Lucas was on the list, but he was getting impatient. Gabriel, 16, wondered if there was another way. When he spotted the 3-D printer in Gabriel Filippini, 16, shows how the prosthetic hand of his brother, Lucas Filippini, 6, works as their mother, Romina Barrera, helps O’Connor’s classroom, he decided to Lucas strap on the hand at Park View High School in Sterling, Virginia, last week.

FDA asking for new studies on the eﬀectiveness of hand sanitizer By Matthew Perrone The Associated Press

Federal health officials want to know whether hand sanitizers used by millions of Americans work as well as manufacturers claim — and whether there are any health risks to their growing use. The Food and Drug Administration is asking for new studies on how the antiseptic gels and rubs fight germs and get absorbed into the body, with a particular focus on children and pregnant women. The proposal unveiled Wednesday is part of an ongoing government effort to review decades-old chemicals that have never had a comprehensive federal review. Agency officials stressed that the review “does not mean the FDA believes these products are ineffective or unsafe.” Hand sanitizers have become nearly ubiquitous over the last 20 years, offered in workplaces, schools, restaurants and other public spaces to reduce the spread of germs. Since 2009, about 90 percent of sanitizers sold to the public have included

either ethanol or ethyl alcohol, according to agency officials. Under current regulations, manufacturers can make broad claims about their products’ effectiveness in killing germs. Bottles of Purell hand sanitizer, for example, say: “Kills 99.99 percent of illness-causing germs.” FDA regulators suggested they may tighten such claims after reviewing the information submitted by manufacturers. “We’re not trying to alarm people,” said Dr. Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA’s drug center. “Obviously ethanol and humans have co-existed for a long time so there’s a lot that’s known about it.” But the agency has concerns about the possible long-term consequences of frequent use by children and women of childbearing age, particularly those who are pregnant or breast feeding. The agency’s proposal would require manufacturers to study whether three anti-germ ingredients — ethanol, alcohol and a type of chloride — show up in blood or urine after repeated, daily use. That could mean that the chemicals may be affecting

the reproductive system or the production of hormones. Regulators are also concerned about possible links between use of antiseptic chemicals and the emergence of so-called superbug bacteria, which are resistant to antibiotics. “We need to get this additional information so if there are situations where caution is warranted, we can label that or inform the public,” Woodcock said. The American Cleaning Institute, a cleaning products trade organization, said it believes the FDA already “has a wealth of data on hand sanitizers in their possession to judge them as generally recognized as safe and effective.” But the group said it would work to provide the information. The FDA will take comments on its proposal for six months before finalizing it. Companies will have one year to submit the information requested by regulators. The FDA review is part of a long-established bureaucratic process which was recently jump-started by a lawsuit against the agency.

Hand sanitizer sits on a Texas pharmacy’s shelf in 2009. The FDA is looking into the health beneﬁts and risks associated with the growing use of the antiseptic products. (AP)

FDA scientists were first charged with evaluating antiseptic soaps, scrubs and sprays in 1972 as part of a law designed to set guidelines for hundreds of drugs and chemicals that were already on the market but had never been formally reviewed. The agency agreed to complete its review under a legal settlement in 2013 with the Natural Resources Defense Council,

an environmental group that accused the government of delaying action on potentially dangerous chemicals. Environmentalists are mainly concerned about an ingredient called triclosan, which was used in many antibacterial soaps. The FDA is collecting safety and effectiveness data on that chemical with the goal of issuing new rules on its use by early 2018.

Don’t want to hire an expensive moving company? Here is your guide to packing like the pros

How to be your own mover

By Nicole Anzia

The Washington Post

ou’ve found a great new place to live and have started to think about new paint colors, furniture placement and the housewarming party you’re going to host once you’ve settled. But before the fun can begin, you’ll have to make decisions about what to keep, what to get rid of and how to get your possessions from one place to the other. If you decide to move yourself ,instead of hiring a moving company, you will definitely save money, but you’ll also need to spend a considerable amount of time planning for, and executing, your move. Here’s what you need to do:

to get couches and box springs to their desired locations. There is nothing more stressful on moving day than discovering that a valuable piece of furniture will not fit through the door! GET STARTED EARLY

Once you’ve figured out what you won’t be taking, begin strategizing early about how to get rid of unwanted items. If you decide to donate furniture to a charity and would like the items picked up, get on the

charity’s schedule as soon as possible — it might take a few weeks for them to get to you. If you want to sell things, measure each item, take photos and spread the word. Send an email to friends, and post the pieces on your neighborhood or apartment email group or on Craigslist. Don’t wait until the last minute. You’ll have enough to think about right before moving day; you won’t want the added pressure of having to figure out how to dispose of what you’re not moving. It’s never too early to start packing. Spend at least an hour packing each day for two weeks before your move, instead of trying to do it all in one day. Pack boxes

MOVE ONLY THE THINGS YOU WANT

We all have those boxes that we’ve moved from one home to another without knowing exactly what’s inside and without ever opening them to look. We assume the contents must be valuable because we’ve gone to the trouble of moving them multiple times. But things change, and the stuff you once considered indispensable may no longer be important to you. Open sealed boxes and confirm you want to move them again. Don’t spend your time and energy moving boxes full of things that you’re ultimately going to throw away after you unpack. In general, moving is an ideal time to go through boxes, closets, books and paperwork to clean out old things and reduce the amount of stuff to move. TAKE ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS

Take time to consider where your large pieces of furniture will be placed in your new home. Measure the items, and compare them with your new home’s floor plan. If you don’t have a hard copy of the floor plan, physically measure the rooms in your new home to ensure your furniture will fit. Don’t just eyeball it or think you’ll remember the size of the rooms, because your memory of the space will change over time. Take note of radiators and window placement and carefully assess the size of doorways and stairs to make sure you’ll be able

fully and seal them so they can be stacked, to make the most efficient use of space. As you begin to plan for your actual move day, don’t forget to consider whether you need to reserve an elevator, loading dock or parking space at one or both of the locations.

PRETEND YOU WORK FOR A MOVING COMPANY

Now that you’ve decided what you’re moving, it’s time to think about packing and transportation needs. Don’t delude yourself into thinking that you can just throw your things into some bags and boxes and make a few trips between your old and new homes. It might sound simple and easy, but it will almost certainly make for a long and chaotic moving day. Think through what type, and how many, vehicles you’ll need to move everything. If you don’t know someone who can lend you a van or truck, reserve one early and plan to pick it up the day before moving day or early that morning. Have more boxes than you think you’ll need on hand, as well as an adequate supply of things such as bubble wrap, packing tape and pens. If you don’t have a car, you may want to get one to use on moving day and have a friend or family member available to drive it. The car could be used to move valuable or fragile items you don’t want to pack. The driver of the car also could be in charge of picking up food and drinks as well as running miscellaneous errands. Moving is a big job and should be treated as such. Even if your house is well organized and you don’t think you have a lot of stuff, it always takes longer than you think it will and something always goes wrong. Give yourself extra time and take a deep breath. The effort will be worth it.

When it comes to moving your things from one place to another, it’s tempting to have a moving company do all the work. However, you’ll save a lot of money if you do it yourself. All you need is time to spend making a plan and physically moving. (Submitted photo)

Travel DEARBORN

Museum helps bridge communities BY THE NUMBERS

By Michael Hodges The Washington Post

When Dearborn’s Arab American National Museum opened in May 2005, it didn’t exactly look like a sure bet. Start with the difficulties inherent in launching such a museum four years after 9/11, in an era of unprecedented hostility. Add to that a minuscule budget, limited staff and the challenge in representing people from 22 sometimes contentious Arab states, and a skeptic might reasonably doubt the institution’s odds for longterm survival. But the tiny museum, with a 2015 budget of $1.9 million — mostly raised from earned income, grants and donations — just wrapped up its 10th year, and steps into the next decade punching way above its weight class. “They’ve done incredible work,” said Juanita Moore, president and CEO of the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit. “I’m not sure the Detroit community understands what a significant presence they have, not just in this area, but nationally as well.” AANM has become a key cultural player in Metro Detroit, has won coveted recognition from the Smithsonian Institution, and — perhaps most significant, given its mission — succeeded in attracting half its 2015 attendance of 52,189 from outside the Arab community. Founding director Anan Ameri, who retired in 2013, counts that as the institution’s biggest win. “Our success comes when a non-Arab walks in and says, ‘Oh, this is just like my story,’” Ameri said. The museum, which grew out of a cultural arts program at ACCESS, the Arab-American social services agency in Dearborn, was one year into fundraising for its handsome Michigan Avenue building when the jets pierced the World Trade Center towers in 2001.

ABOUT THE MUSEUM Arab American National Museum ﬁgures from 2015: Operating budget: $1.9 million Total contributions and grants: $1.46 million Earned revenue: $449,676 Endowment: $2.06 million Attendance: 52,189 to museum; 75,000 to AANM exhibitions outside Michigan Twitter followers: 8,528 Metro Detroit Arab population: 350,000 MAKING AN IMPACT The museum just added 10 young ArabAmericans worth watching to its “Making an Impact” permanent exhibit of leaders. They are:

“Of course 9/11 made things worse,” Ameri said, “but there’s a silver lining in any disaster. “In this case, it created more interest, I think, in Arab-Americans. There’s more curiosity now among people who are not biased — and there are a lot of them.” Ironically, said Matthew Jaber Stiffler, AANM research and content manager, “Instead of being a setback, 9/11 galvanized the community. “They realized there’s so much misinformation out there, we need a place that can serve as a beacon of knowledge.” While Arab-Americans often feel like targets, museum Director Devon Akmon said, “We’re not alone. Latinos also face pressures, sometimes worse than ours.” Still, noted Ismael Ahmed, who helped found ACCESS, “The museum cannot win the battle for fairness and equality and an end to stereotyping by itself.”

So the museum has consistently reached for programming that bridges communities. Exhibitions like the current “What We Carried,” a photography show on what Iraqi and Syrian refugees chose to take with them when they fled, emphasize poignant family experience nearly everyone can understand. Locally, the museum’s culinary walking tours of Dearborn restaurants and groceries are always fully booked, while its Concert of Colors, which kicks off July 14, is a longstanding summer high point attended last year by 50,000 at venues all across town.

James “Jim” Louis Zuidema, age 90, passed away peacefully on June 25, 2016. Born February 2, 1926, to William and Cleo Blakely Zuidema, Jim graduated from St. Mary’s High School in Muskegon in 1944, and proudly served in World War II in the 65th Army Division in Germany, France, and Austria from 1944 through 1946. He was in the first American platoon to enter the Nazi concentration camp in Ohrdruf, Germany, and one of his lasting legacies is his numerous speaking engagements at local schools and churches about the holocaust, plus an extensive interview by Steven Spielberg’s Shoah Foundation. After the war, Jim married the love of his life, Theresa Mary Kane, in 1946. At the time of Theresa’s passing in 2005 they had been married 59 years. Jim had a beautiful singing voice, and was widely known in the area for his many choir affiliations in West Michigan. He was also the lead singer for many productions of the Muskegon Civic Opera. Before health issues weakened his voice, he could be heard loud and clear from his pew

at Prince of Peace Catholic Church in North Muskegon. A favorite original quote of Jim’s was “If music is the Voice of the Soul then I surely had a gabby soul”. Jim’s working career included supervisory positions at Lakey Foundry and CWC. He formed Theresa’s Day Care Center in 1964 with his wife, and joined her full time at the center in the 1990’s. Hundreds of children were lovingly cared for over the 50 years of the center’s existence. Carpentry was not Jim’s hobby, it was his passion. Known throughout the Midwest for his exquisite carvings of Creches (Nativity Scenes), Jim never sold his masterpieces; he gave them to family, friends, and churches. Jim was a loving husband, a doting father, and a proud grandfather and great-grandfather. Survivors include his son Greg, grandchildren Melissa, Courtney, Joseph and James, great granddaughter Thea, sisters MaryLee (Tom) Myler and Joyce Kelley, brothers Douglas, Michael (Denna), and Larry (Alma) Sayer, and dozens of God-children, nieces and nephews. Jim was preceded in death by his parents, brother William, son Jeffrey, and his beloved wife Theresa. Funeral Mass: Friday July 15, 2016 at 11:00 A.M. at Prince of Peace Catholic Church on Dysktra Road in North Muskegon, MI Visitation: One hour prior to the Mass. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to Don Rea VFW Post 8846 on Dykstra Road, or to Harbor Hospice on Mt. Garfield Road.

She taught primarily at Orchard View as a 5th grade teacher and became infamously known as Mrs. Taulbee; she taught for 33 years. She was a lifetime member at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church where she served faithfully throughout those years in numerous areas.

THINGS TO DO OR SEE TODAY AND BEYOND

CIVIL RIGHTS

DUAL FESTIVITIES

Underground Railroad paths

A celebration Each year, Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, celebrate the independence of their respective countries simultaneously. While it’s true that the two countries no longer hold the WindsorDetroit International Freedom Festival annually, the two locales still have festivals that typically overlap each year to celebrate the July 1 Canadian Independence Day and the July 4 Independence Day in the U.S. One part of the festivities that is still shared between the cities is the annual fireworks display held on the last Monday in June.

The stretch of the Underground Railroad from Michigan to Canada was an important area, considering slaves were truly free once they escaped to Canada.

The Gateway to Freedom International Memorial to the Underground Railroad is on the riverfront of Detroit’s Hart Plaza. (AP photo) STATEWIDE

What Michigan shares with Canada

While Michigan was a northern state, any slave found in the north could be captured and sent back to their slave master. Taking persons escaping slavery across the Detroit River was popular and necessary for true freedom. Read more about the Underground Railroad connection between Michigan and Canada at the Detroit Historical Society website.

s America gets set to celebrate Independence Day on Monday, Canada is winding down from a similar holiday: Canada Day, a federal holiday celebrated on July 1 to mark the anniversary of the date that Canada became a self-governing country. Just like here, Canadians celebrate with parades, concerts, carnivals and fireworks. The mood is patriotic, and citizens often don red and white, the country's national colors. So, to mark our mutual holidays, we've put together other things that Michigan shares with its border buddies.

TRIO OF GOVERNORS

Gov. Swainson, Blanchard and Granholm

Former Michigan Gov. John Swainson, who served from 196162, was born in Canada. His family moved to Michigan when Swainson was 2 years old. After serving Michigan as governor from 1983-90, James Blanchard served as U.S. Ambassador to Canada from 1993-96. Finally, former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm grew up in Michigan but was born in Canada, where she lived until the age of 4. Granholm served as governor from 2003-10. Prior to that, she served as Michigan’s attorney general.

THE CAPTAIN

Steve Yzerman

Canadian Steve Yzerman is a retired Detroit Red Wings player and current general manager of NHL team Tampa Bay Lightning. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest players of all time. CONNECTING BORDERS

Sault Ste. Marie

SAY, WHAT?

Sault Ste. Marie is on the northeastern end of the Upper Peninsula and separated from its twin city of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, by the St. Marys River.

On both sides of the border, the towns often are called The Soo. The two cities are joined by the International Bridge, which connects I-75 in Michigan and Huron Street in Ontario. Shipping traffic in the Great Lakes system bypasses the rapids via the American Soo Locks. MAKING CONNECTIONS

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and hockey legend Gordie Howe’s son, Dr. Murray Howe, announced the name of the new bridge, the Gordie Howe International Bridge in Windsor, Ontario on May 14, 2015.

Gordie Howe Intl. Bridge

A joint effort between Michigan and Canada, this bridge will give travelers another way to drive between countries. You can’t cross the new bridge yet, but it’s projected the new gateway from Michigan to Canada will be completed in 3-4 years. While the bridge was named before his death, it will serve as a fitting tribute to Howe, a Canadian and Detroit Red Wing who is beloved by Michiganders and Canadians alike. R.I.P, Mr. Hockey.

(MLive.com ﬁles)

A geographic oddity Canada is the country to the north right? Well, mostly. But, from Michigan, you can travel south to get to Canada. Yeah, it’s weird. If you are crossing at the Detroitto-Windsor border, you will have to drive south. And when you come back to Detroit? You guessed it — you are traveling north to re-enter the U.S. UNDERWATER BOND

St. Clair Tunnel

The St. Clair Tunnel is the name for two separate rail tunnels built under the St. Clair River between Sarnia, Ontario, and Port Huron. It was the first full-size subaqueous tunnel built in North America.
