Hospital sees bad Council approves debt decrease brewery But does this mean people are putting off health care? Rachel Brougham (231) 439-9348 - rbrougham@petoskeynews.com
For the first time in five years, McLaren — Northern Michigan, formerly known as Northern Michigan Regional Hospital, saw a decrease in the amount spent on bad debt and charity care for 2011. While this may seem like somewhat of a financial win for the Petoskey hospital, there are concerns it could lead to bigger problems down the road. Bad debt occurs when the hospital anticipates or expects a patient to pay, but they do not. Charity care is when, after a process, it is determined a patient is unable to pay and care is given gratis. In 2011, the hospital was hit with $8.3 million in bad debt and $4.7 million in charity care. In comparison, in 2010, the hospital’s highest year for bad debt and charity care, the hospital saw numbers of $10.4 million and $5.5 million, respectively. “What we saw in 2011 is a decrease in our census that really attributed to the drop in bad debt and charity care,” said Reezie DeVet, president
and CEO of McLaren — Northern Michigan. “I believe people are waiting to get care because they can’t pay their copay or don’t have insurance or are under insured.” DeVet stressed this DeVet is a national trend, not something unique to the Petoskey hospital. “What we’re seeing is a national phenomenon over 2011 that is extending into 2012,” she said. “The economy is slow to recover and it has impacted those seeking health care.” “We’re also seeing those who have been laid off losing their insurance coverage,” DeVet added. The concern is that patients unable to pay for health care will wait longer to receive treatment. This means that often conditions will be advanced when patients finally do get care, thus making the cost to treat their conditions more costly. However, help is available. Kathy Beyer, senior director of revenue cycle at the hospital, said programs are in place to help assist the under-insured or those without in-

The Petoskey City Council decided Monday to provide local-level support for a proposed microbrewery that’s seeking a state license to operate downtown. Council members voted unanimously in favor of the micro brewer license sought by Beards Brewery, which proposes a brewing Marshall operation at 207-A Howard St. “I think it’s a great idea,” said city council member Kate Marshall. Support from local government is among the factors which the Michigan Liquor Control Commission considers when reviewing a liquor license application.
surance. Despite the programs, Beyer noted many avoid seeking help because they don’t want to go through the process, or don’t want to admit they are under financial hardships. “There are many programs people can take advantage of, and we try to do our best to help them find these programs, but it’s often too late,” Beyer explained. Beyer added that many in the community qualify for Medicaid, but aren’t taking advantage of the coverage. The hospital does have staff to help those through the process of applying for Medicaid coverage, which covers preventative care measures which could help prevent many conditions from becoming advanced. “Our goal this year is to qualify people for charity care,” DeVet said. “We want to make sure people are in the right category and those truly unable to pay — we want to work with them appropriately.” Those in need of financial assistance for health care should call (231) 487-7460 or (800) 345-7162.

Pellet plant studies 2 bids to reduce noise Sheri McWhirter (231) 439-9346 - smcwhirter@petoskeynews.com
BOYNE CITY — City officials received just two offers from their request for proposals to address community concerns surrounding a wood pellet factory in Boyne City’s industrial park. The city’s Local Development Finance
Authority met Monday afternoon to discuss a planned study to look for solutions to the noise, odor and dust complaints surrounding Kirtland Products wood pellet factory. The city board already set aside $30,000 to fund the study. “It’s the $30,000 budgeted in here now,” city manager Mike Cain told the board Monday while they reviewed the budget

Harbor Springs mulls switching to Alanson Area Public Library
Hot weather has Harbor jump-starting construction
Morgan Sherburne (231) 439-9394 - msherburne@petoskeynews.com
HARBOR SPRINGS — Harbor Springs residents may soon look to the Alanson Area Public Library for some of their library services, a move discussed at the Harbor Springs city council meeting Monday night. Currently, Harbor Springs residents can hold a library card to Petoskey Public Library, said city manager Tom Richards, which the city of Harbor

But a rise in cost of those services at the Petoskey library has the city of Harbor Springs eyeing a similar and less expensive agreement with Alanson. And whether Harbor Springs residents would have library services through Alanson rests, in part, with the Harbor Springs Area District Library board, said Richards. The district library board has been trying to drum up support for a district

BOYNE CITY
Charlevoix County Transit adds Petoskey, Gaylord trips Sheri McWhirter (231) 439-9346 - smcwhirter@petoskeynews.com
BOYNE CITY — Charlevoix County Transit System recently added monthly shopping trips to Petoskey and Gaylord, but reduced the number of runs to Traverse City per year. Jill Drury, transit manager, said the county agency made the change to better address customer needs and to save money. Charlevoix County commissioners discussed the altered schedule last week after Drury reported on the changes. “We’re trying to give more service,” said Ron Reinhardt, county commissioner from Wilson Township. Drury said officials initially intended the formerly monthly trips to Traverse City to primarily be for medical appointments at Munson Medical Center and its adjoining medical district. But most passengers on the trips went to the mall, instead. Drury said shopping trips will be more affordable for taxpayers if the bus runs stay within the region, rather than the long and expensive trips to Traverse City’s far side. Medical trips to Traverse City or other places will continue to be scheduled with advanced reservations, she said. “I would love to see more done between Emmet and Charlevoix counties to increase transit between the counties,” said Jon Bautel , owner of Boyne’s Beyond Borders in Boyne City. The closer shopping trips will better promote an awareness of the impact of local shopping on local economies, said Bautel, who hasn’t owed a vehicle in two years. He also said that when he does want to visit a large store in Petoskey, he will look to transit. “If I need to do some major bulk shopping at Meijer, I’ll

Charlevoix County Transit System officials intend to add Saturday service to the schedule this year, following the addition of shopping voyages to Petoskey and Gaylord. Officials also reduced the monthly Traverse City trips to quarterly.

take transit to get there,” Bautel said. Not everyone thinks the change is for the better, though. Jodi Blaha , of East Jordan , said the county’s disabled residents highly value the monthly trips to Traverse City’s indoor mall, an excellent place for those who use wheelchairs or walkers. She considers the move to reduce trips there discrimination against the disabled, Blaha said. “It’s a blessing to the disabled in many ways. We just want the once-a-month trip to Traverse
Coast Guard announces change to marine radio frequency for fog signals
PETOSKEY
CLEVELAND — The Coast Guard has announced an upcoming change to the marine radio frequency mariners must use to activate fog signals on navigable waterways of the Great Lakes. Since the 1990s, mariners have been able to activate fog signals on certain aids-to-navigation by tuning their marine radios to VHF-FM channel 79A (156.975 MHz) and keying their microphone five times. The channel used for this purpose is being changed to channel 83A (157.175 MHz).” Mariners who wish to activate fog signals should key their microphones on both channels until July 1, and only channel 83A after July 1, according to the release. This change is being made to shift radio traffic from channel 79A, a commercial channel, to channel 83A, a frequency owned and operated by the Coast Guard.

City restored. Doesn’t it matter what we want?” she said. Drury said it’s nonsense that the transit agency intends to discriminate against local disabled residents. “It’s an attempt to provide more service to the residents of the county by offering more locations and more frequently, but keeping Traverse City there as a special occasion,” she said. The Traverse City trip costs about the same as the Petoskey and Gaylord trips combined, plus two bus loads of people can participate, rather than just one, Drury said. At least four transit bus trips from Charlevoix County to Traverse City will be scheduled each year, though more dates may be added. The shopping trips to Petoskey and Gaylord will continue on a monthly basis. Joel Evans , county board chair man from South Ar m
Township, said the service can’t be everything to everyone, but said it is a valuable public service. “This transit is a great service. Sometimes we get focused on our own wants and needs,” Evans said. Additionally, Saturday service will soon be added to transit’s offerings. “We hope to have the new Saturday service in place and ready to roll this spring,” Drury said. Partnerships with Straits Regional Ride, Otsego County Bus System, the Friendship Centers of Emmet County and Antrim County Transportation also are in the works, so additional transit connection options are available. The agency also recently launched a pilot project to offer Saturday evening service between Boyne City and Boyne Mountain Resort , in Boyne Falls.

HARBOR SPRINGS — Harbor Springs City Council authorized the sale of bonds to fund several water reliability projects that will take place throughout the spring, early summer and fall in Harbor Springs. “This happens on a regular basis,” said city manager Tom Richards. “Unless we have that (amount of money for the projects) sitting aside in cash, which is rare, we have to borrow to finance these projects over a longer period of time.” The projects, which include replacing water and sewer mains throughout downtown Harbor Springs and some residential areas, were slated to begin April 2, when the city council expected the ground to have thawed enough to begin construction. “We never imagined that two weeks before April 2, it would feel like summer,” said Richards. “As it turns out, construction vehicles are coming to town and waiting for the green light.” Considering that city council approved an early completion incentive for the construction companies working on the downtown projects so as to interfere with the business district’s busy season as little as possible, the construction companies are eager for the goahead, said Richards. The city will host three informational meetings for business owners and residents who will be affected by the projects. The first two meetings are 7 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, March 26 and 27, at city hall, 160 Zoll St. The third meeting is 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 28, at the Harbor Springs Area Historical Society’s museum. The meetings will focus on construction projects involving Glen Drive and Traverse Street on Monday, the downtown district on Tuesday, and the Bluff Drive and Harbor Street projects Wednesday.

Michigan must solve dental care puzzle; better access for needy patients is crucial
M
ichigan needs creative minds figuring out how to increase access to dental care for the state’s low income and uninsured residents. That’s one reason that improved access to oral health care is part of Gov. Rick Snyder’s vision for improving Michiganders’ health and wellness. As reporter Laura Misjak notes in today’s LSJ, too many people are relying on hospital emergency rooms for treating dental problems. That’s a costly and often a short-term fix. An ER doctor cannot do root canals or tooth extractions. They prescribe pain killers and/or antibiotics and refer patients elsewhere, often to the county’s two low-income dental clinics. Some patients will return to the ER before they can get in to a low- or nocost dentist. That’s not all. Those whose dental problems go untreated for too long can end up hospitalized. In Ingham County, the Michigan Oral Health Coalition reports that there were 51 longer-term hospitalizations for preventable dental problems in 2008. The typical stay was 2.5 days at a cost of $19,074; that equates to nearly a $1 million in hospital costs for problems that may have been avoided if patients could access basic preventive dental care.
It’s not an easy problem, though, and money is an issue. A 2010 report done for the Michigan Dental Association says that the state’s Medicaid reimbursement rate for dentists is about 41 percent of the cost of service; about 95 percent of dentists said they need reimbursement of at least 50 percent to participate. The MDA says, though, that in 2010 about 25 percent of the state’s 6,715 dentists did participate. Still, the number is low. The state has made strides with its Healthy Kids Dental initiative. Run on a contract with Delta Dental, it pays dentists a higher rate than Medicaid would. But there’s not enough money to run it statewide. Other solutions are being pursued. One would increase preventive services that dental hygienists and assistants can provide. Other efforts look for new models of service. In Calhoun County, a program gives dentists funds for training or equipment if they contract to see lowincome patients; the patients “pay” by performing community service. As with so many issues, spending money on prevention will save money in the long run. Michigan must move access to dental care higher on its priority list. — Lansing State Journal
Cutting government regulations should be possible; we’ll see if public views it as priority
W
e know our elected officials can walk and chew gum at the same time. But they, like any of us, are limited by the finite time in their schedules. The result: They must set clear priorities. No matter whether you agree with them, Gov. Rick Snyder and Michigan’s Republican state lawmakers have done that exceedingly well. They set out to balance the state budget (before the last minute, too) and reform business taxes. Missions accomplished. Snyder and his Republican colleagues now are focusing on more businessfriendly reforms: hoping to eliminate the personal property tax that employers pay and weeding out unnecessary regulations. State Rep. Mike Shirkey, R-Clark Lake, will bring that latter issue into the spotlight Monday with a forum at Baker College on state regulations that can be eliminated. That Shirkey and other lawmakers will find examples of redundant or restrictive state laws is inevitable. Snyder pointed to outdated Michigan laws about outhouses in his recent State of the State address. At the urging of the owner of Knutson’s Recreational Sales in Brooklyn, Shirkey himself helped repeal a state law regarding live minnows and bait that
hurt business. The bigger issue with this agenda is this: Is it the best one to pursue? State lawmakers and the governor, after all, could make a priority of other issues. There’s K-12 education, or higher education, both of which have advocates who say the Legislature has not funded them adequately. There’s the strained social safety net, hit by a double whammy of funding cuts and extra demand. The argument for whether either of these, or another cause, is more important than streamlining government regulation is philosophical. Shirkey, Snyder and other business-minded lawmakers argue government too often stands in the way of private sector innovation and hiring. Give employers more freedoms — while still looking out for the public good — and their actions will be good for the economy. Voters will likely express whether they feel Shirkey has chosen the right priorities at re-election time in November. They may get some help in making their decision depending on how many business owners turn out Monday to show, in numbers, if this issue matters to them. — Jackson Patriot

Letters from our readers Taxes response Editor: In response to Mr. Lerch’s letter there are several inaccuracies. Most businesses in the United States are incorporated under a sub-chapter S, or under an LLC which for simplicity’s sake allows the business income to flow under an individual’s tax return. This will explain the furor expressed when government goes after the “top 2 percent” because the revenue stream in these small companies flows under the individual tax returns, and is deceiving in comparison to what the individual’s actual personal income is derived from the company. Secondly, there are a myriad of taxes that occur in business, not just an income tax. There is workers comp., unemployment comp., and the one every business hated, the single business tax, which taxed you on the volume of your business regardless if you were profitable. The argument over jobs going to other countries because of cheap labor is relatively hollow because for one, our capital depreciation schedule was out of touch with the rest of the developed world. Rather than a 7-year depreciation schedule to depreciate capital investment, the rest of our competitors used a 3-year depreciation schedule because technology replaces itself on an average of three years or less. If you were considering building a plant and investing a million dollars, it makes more sense to build a plant where you can write off that investment in three rather than seven years. Our congress finally got wise and last year instituted a one-year depreciation of capital investment to make us competitive with other countries.The last fact is you locate a business where your market is, or in some cases where government requires you to be present in a country in order to conduct business there. Our government could improve communication on how businesses succeed, if there were more
in government who understood business. Phil Pachulski Charlevoix
Rush Limbaugh Editor: Lately there’s been many who have denounced Rush Limbaugh’s opinion of Sandra Fluke in your editorial and opinion pages. I’m curious as to where their outrage was when liberals were calling President Bush stupid, incompetent, ignorant, and a drunk? Why is what Limbaugh said so demeaning, yet calling the tea party folks “teabaggers” seems to be perfectly acceptable? Apparently, most are not aware of the sexual connotation of that term. How is it that our current president condemns what Rush said, yet he has no problem with Bill Maher calling Sarah Palin the “C” word, and a M.I.L.F.? Both men’s statements are equally repulsive sexual slurs, yet one of Barry’s P.A.C.s won’t return Mr. Maher’s donation of $1 million, and no one is calling for the boycot of Bill’s show. Bush, Palin, and the tea party are republicans/conservatives respectfully, so calling them detestable things is normal and approved public discourse I guess. My point is, if you are going to be calling for civility in speech and print from one side, you might want to call for it from BOTH sides. Otherwise some folks may interpret your actions, or lack there of, one sided, biased and closed-minded. Kelly M. Croff Alanson
The American dark ages Editor: Why do the Republican party and the tea baggers hate their neighbors and the American middle class which they openly seem to profess by their party rhetoric? It seems as if they are determined to set our democracy back 300 years where most people died before reaching age 50 and lived in log huts. By what anti-humanitarian belief do they want to see social safety nets disappear and the wealthy get continually more and more while the rest of us receive less and less? Why is it that the tea baggers and Mr. Benishek don’t care if the little girl down the road gets sick and dies because of lack of medical care or the old couple does not have enough money to live decently? Their whole political thrust will lead to an American dark age where the, “I’ve got mine and the devil with everyone else”
wealthy (not all of them) have it all and the middle class and poor have next to nothing. Look at how life was in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries. Is this what the GOP is trying to achieve for us by pandering to the tea party misanthropes? Is there no humanitarianism amongst the lot of them? I ask again why do the Republicans and the tea batters hate their neighbors? Robert G. Reed Boyne City
Arrogance in politics Editor: When I built a new home and went to move out of my mobile home of 20 years and hook up my septic system to the new house in the same location I was hassled by Emmet County and told I needed new permits (which were denied). I spent thousands unnecessarily for a new drainfield even though the old system was working fine and exceeded the code size requirements. My representative James Tamlyn sits on the board of appeals. In the summer of 2010 James Tamlyn threatened taxpayers at a Paradise Improvement Association meeting with arrest if they spoke more than three minutes. He has been against the improvement of the weed problem in Paradise Lake with a product approved by the EPA. Up to 70 percent of the lake is now unusable for swimming, boating, fishing, etc. Other lakes have used it with great success. Also in 2010 I attended a commissioner board meeting in which he ordered a woman asking questions about the care facility Bay Bluffs to sit down and shut up. It was the last item on the agenda under “Petitions from the public.” I have heard several citizens refer to him as a bully and intimidator. On April 7, 2010, in a phone conversation with apartment head Brent Michalck he threatened his life. “If you come up here, I will throw you in the hole and bury you in it.” It’s not unusual for politicians in power for many years to become arrogant. Even at the county level. But to threaten somebody’s life is over the top. Chuck Laughbaum Pellston

Wendy’s now second among hamburger chains in U.S. sales
NEW YORK (AP) — Wendy's has dethroned Burger King as the country's second biggest hamburger chain. Wendy's edged out Burger King in U.S. sales volume for the first time last year since Wendy's was founded in 1969, according to a report by the food industry re-
search firm Technomic Inc. that's set to be released next month. Wendy's had sales of $8.5 billion in 2011, compared with $8.4 billion for Burger King. McDonald's remained far larger than both with $34.2 billion in sales. The figures are based on Technomic's estimates
of system-wide sales at franchise and companyowned restaurants, rather than corporate revenue, which includes fees from franchise operators. Worldwide, Burger King still has far more restaurants than Wendy's and remains the second biggest hamburger chain behind McDonald's.
NEW YORK (AP) — After amassing a huge cash hoard, Apple Inc. is finally acknowledging that it doesn't need all that money, saying Monday that it will start paying some of it out to shareholders in the form of a dividend and share buyback program. Investors had been expecting the announcement, driving up Apple shares 37 percent since management hinted in January that a dividend was in the works. Apple, the world's most valuable company, sits on $97.6 billion in cash and securities. For years, CEO Steve Jobs resisted calls to reward shareholders with some of that money. He used to say that the money was better used to give Apple maneuvering room, for instance by giving it the ability to buy other companies. Apple paid a quarterly dividend between 1987 and 1995, a period when Jobs was not involved with the company. Jobs died in October after a long fight with cancer. On Monday, new CEO Tim Cook said that with this much cash on hand, a dividend wouldn't restrain the company's options. “These decisions will not close any doors for us,” he told analysts and reporters on a conference call. Had it kept amassing cash and low-yielding securities, Apple could eventually have opened itself to legal challenge from shareholders, who could have argued that it was misusing their money. Cook also suggested that the dividend could have been larger if U.S. tax laws were different. Apple said Monday that it will pay a quarterly divi-
dend of $2.65 per share, starting in its fiscal fourth quarter, which begins July 1. The dividend works out to $10.60 annually, or 1.8 percent of the cur rent stock price. By comparison, Microsoft Corp., pays 2.5 percent of its stock price in dividends, and HewlettPackard Co. pays 2 percent. However, in absolute terms, Apple will pay one of the richest dividends in the U.S. It will spend more than $10 billion on dividends in its first year, placing it just below companies including AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc., for whom the dividend is the main way of attracting investors. Exxon Mobil Corp., the world's second largest company by market capitalization, pays about $9 billion in dividends annually. Apple generated $31 billion in cash in the fiscal year that ended in September, and is on pace to generate even more in the current year. That means its cash pile will continue to grow even with a dividend and a buyback program, albeit at a lower rate. Even if it had no net cash, Apple would hardly be financially constrained, since it could borrow all the money it needs. The dividend opens up ownership of Apple shares to a wider range of funds, potentially boosting the stock price in the long term. Many “value-oriented” funds are not allowed to buy stocks that don't pay dividends Apple said the $10 billion share buyback program will begin next fiscal year, which starts Sept. 30, and run for three years.
Buybacks are a popular alternative to dividends, since they reduce the number of shares outstanding. That means every remaining investor has title to a larger share of the company. Cook said the main point of Apple's buyback is to offset the shares issued to reward the Cupertino, Calif., company's employees. The dividend and buyback announcement came three days after the launch of Apple's latest iPad tablet in the U.S. and nine other countries. Cook said the company also considered splitting its stock, and continues to look at that option. Stock splits increase the number of shares while reducing their value, potentially making it easier for small investors to buy them. But Cook said “there's very little support” for the idea that this helps the stock overall. Cook said that when Apple analyzing how much it could give out to shareholders, it looked solely at how much cash it has in the U.S. Like many other big exporters, Apple has much of its cash overseas — twothirds, specifically. Apple is reluctant to bring back overseas profits, which have already been taxed in their respective countries, to the U.S. because they'd then be subject to the 35 percent corporate tax rate. “Current tax laws provide a considerable economic disincentive to U.S. companies that might otherwise repatriate a substantial amount of foreign cash,” Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer said.

Elizabeth Glenn, 93 Elizabeth Glen, 93, died Sunday, March 18, 2012, at Northern Michigan Regional Hospital. Elizabeth Almeda Luecke was born Jan. 13, 1919, in Cascade, Wis., to Frank M.G. Luecke and Almeda F. Luecke. She spent her childhood with her family in Wisconsin, Indiana, Missouri and Oklahoma (dust bowl). She greatly loved and admired her three brothers, Charles Luecke, Kenneth Luecke and Frank Luecke, and special aunt, Etta Luecke, who have preceded her in death. From 1938-1950, she worked as a photographer in Washington, D.C., for both the National Gallery of Art and the National Archives. She photographed and recorded many important pictures and documents during the World War II years, being the first person to view the surrender documents from the Japanese as they came in to the archives. She had the great pleasure to be able to copy photos from the Civil War and other documents from earlier American history as well as great works of art in the gallery. She was present as a photographer for five presidential inaugurations. In 1946, she married Eldridge Myles Glenn in Washington, D.C. They made their homes in D.C., Salt Lake City, Cleveland and finally moved to Kalamazoo in 1956. She dedicated her life in Kalamazoo
to home and family, keeping her photographer’s eye in her beautiful gardens she created and Glenn maintained. Myles preceded her in death in 1981. In 1984, she moved to Petoskey to be close to family. She never really left her interest in politics and activities in Washington; she liked nothing better than to engage in a good debate! Betty had been a member and volunteer for the American Red Cross for many years. She was a member of the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Kalamazoo and the Presbyterian Church in Petoskey. She is survived by her children, Karen Doherty (Pat) of Petoskey, Thomas Glenn (Melissa) of Newport Beach, Calif.; grandchildren, Colin and Lauren Doherty, Emily and Myles Glenn; and great-grandson, Jack Campbell. A celebration of her life will take place for friends and family 2-4 p.m. Friday, March 23, in her home.

She kept a warm and cozy home where people always felt welcome. She was a thoughtful neighbor, and a good friend, she will certainly be missed. Madeline is survived by her three children, Patty (Duane) Clasing of Colorado Springs, Colo., John (Vickie)
Walendzik of Booneville, Miss., and Jane den Otter of Battle Creek, Mich. She is also survived by five grandWalendzik children, Pam (Scott) Miller, Jay (Gemma) Clasing, Tod Callender, Jennifer Callender and John (Tamra) Walendzik; and by nine great-grandchildren. Surviving siblings include Margaret (Phil) Leonarduzzi of Iron River, Mich., and Larry Schreiber of St. Joseph, Mich. Including her parents and her husband, Edward, Madeline was also preceded in death by her brother, Eugene Schreiber and sister, Gertrude Ziemke. Those wishing to honor Madeline’s memory with a charitable contribution are asked to consider one of the following; St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, 513 Howard St., Petoskey Mich. 49770; or St. Joseph Catholic Church, 211 Church St. St. Joseph, Mich. 49085.

American Life in
Ted Kooser U.S. Poet Laureate
It’s an ancient and respected tradition: Alfred, Lord Tennyson, wrote “Idylls of the King” to celebrate the life of King Arthur, and dedicated it to yet another of the royals, Albert, Prince Consort to Queen Victoria. How many poems have been written for people the poet admired? Here Carrie Shipers, who teaches in Wisconsin, writes about a contemporary superstar. Love Poem for Ted Neeley In Jesus Christ Superstar Lincoln, Neb., 2009
That man’s too old to play Christ, someone said when you appeared onstage—thirty years in those white robes, spotlights tracking your graceful sleeves, the attentive angle of your head as you worked a crowd. I agreed that you looked tired, but when Mary Magdalene anointed you, when you cast merchants and money changers from the temple, I forgot your thinning hair and wrinkled brow, forgot how your story ended: your broken voice crying on the cross, your body arched as you ascended. I’d lost track of how many songs were in the second act, thought there might be more—the empty tomb, your appearance on the road, to Peter in Jerusalem—but the cast came out for applause: soldiers, Apostles, and women; Annas, Caiaphas, Pilate; Mary in her red dress; Peter, that sturdy fisherman; Judas, who has all the best songs; and finally you, head bowed at our ovation. I didn’t come to worship but you’ve left me no choice— I don’t care how old you are, how many times you’ve done this act before—you still rock those power ballads, still heal with the same sweet force before you rise. We’ll always want too much from you. Tonight, I’ll believe until the curtain closes, your tour bus rolls away.

Adult stepdaughter can’t seem to do anything right
Dear Annie: My wife of three years always seems to have something derogatory to say about “Janie,” my 20-year-old daughter from my first marriage. If Janie vacuums, my wife says she didn’t do it right. If she has a halffilled garbage can, my wife tells her it needs to be emptied, etc. I am so tired of the nitpicking, but I don’t know what to do. My wife and I have a toddler girl Annie’s and a 7-month-old boy, and I love them Mailbox more than anything. But don’t you think she should mind her own business about my older daughter? — On the Edge in Pittsburgh Dear Edge: To some extent, yes. Janie is a member of the household and should do her chores. However, your wife needs to find better ways to handle Janie, or she will create resentment all around. Please don’t simmer silently. Talk to your wife so she understands how much this bothers you. See a counselor who specializes in blended families. And
contact the National Stepfamily Resource Center (stepfamilies.info) for help. Dear Annie: Your advice to “Not a Mommy” was spot on. I, too, have never wanted kids. When asked to hold a baby, I reply, “Thanks. I can see it from here.” Older women used to ask, “Who will care for you when you’re old?” But where are those adult children now? Living across the country with families of their own? It makes no sense to have a child to support you in your old age, to save your marriage, or to please your husband, parents or society. One of the first things I told my fiancé was that if he wanted kids, he needed to move on. We’ve been married 28 years. A woman shouldn’t feel bad because she is not mother material. Children are better off with someone who will cherish them. — Not Mother Material

RYAN BENTLEY/NEWS-REVIEW
Posters on the front doors at 207 Howard St. announce plans for Beards Brewery to open inside.
BREWERY FROM A1 Working with the Michigan Liquor Control Commission, the city’s public safety department conducted a state-required criminal history investigation into the applicant’s principals, as well as an inspection of the proposed brewery site. Public safety director John Calabrese indicated that city manager Dan Ralley could recommend council support for the license request. During Monday’s meeting, mayor Bill Fraser wondered how well the brewery’s production aspects would mesh with downtown zoning. Jim Murray, an attorney with city legal counsel Plunkett Cooney, said that since on-site retail sales of beer also are part of the brewery’s plans, there does not appear to be a conflict with the city zoning ordinance. If the beer produced there was intended strictly for off-site sales, Murray said there would be more potential for a zoning conflict. Beards intends to operate in a space located to the rear of the Chico’s and Back to Nature stores on Howard Street, and which can be accessed through a
“We are opening our downtown location as a microbrewery and tap room where the focus will be on small batch, hand crafted artisan beer where we can share our passion for our product directly with our patrons.” Benjamin Slocum, managing partner in Beards hallway between those businesses. Benjamin Slocum is a principal managing partner in Beards along with Peter Manthei. Slocum said the partners intend to open the brewery sometime in June. With licensing and regulatory steps still to be completed along with some remodeling, he added that the business isn’t setting a firm opening date. “We are opening our down-
town location as a microbrewery and tap room where the focus will be on small batch, hand crafted artisan beer where we can share our passion for our product directly with our patrons,” Slocum said. “As we start, our beers will only be available on site through our taproom where our guests can enjoy a pint on site or take a growler home.” The partners plan to focus mainly on their brews rather than offering an extensive food menu alongside them. “There are already many fine restaurants in the downtown area, so including food would detract from our pints while putting us in an already crowded market,” Slocum said. “When people enjoy a pint of Beards brewed beer they may want a light item to snack on or a full meal, so we plan on offering some simple items from other downtown vendors on site while also encouraging our guests to bring in their own items, have a pizza delivered or grab dinner (nearby) and bring it over to enjoy with their beverage. In essence it will be the reverse of the ‘BYOB’ idea.”

This is the dryer at Kirtland Products, among the loudest pieces of equipment at the wood pellet factory in Boyne City’s industrial park.
NOISE FROM A1 pany focused on data collection, analysis and strategic business solutions for planning, transportation management, natural resources and technology. The firm has 20 years of experience and offices across the country, the nearest in Chicago. A 10-member citizen committee formed last month to work with hired consultants, ponder solutions and make a recommendation to city officials. That group met last week to complete a conference telephone call with RSG officials and will meet again Thursday, March 22, to speak with UPEA officials. “We have to find people qualified to do this study,” said Ralph Gillett, chairman of the city’s development finance authority board. Tom Monley, Kirtland president, said the factory remained idle for more than a week while officials at the plant wait for
“Obviously it’s a pressing issue in the community and we need to find the correct solutions to the issues.” Ralph Gillett, chairman of the city’s development finance authority board the outcome of the city’s ongoing effort to address the community’s concerns. Dozens complained in recent months about the factory’s pervasive and constant noise, noticeable odor and occasional dusty particulate matter. Those who live closest to the factory report being unable to hear themselves think, let alone sleep through the night when
the pellet-making machines run. Factory operators installed expensive muf flers on the steam stacks and made other noise mitigation efforts, but the improvements — though they helped — just aren’t good enough, some residents previously said. The citizen committee and planned study is the city’s response to the overwhelming complaints that drew residents to recent city meetings by the dozens. “Obviously it’s a pressing issue in the community and we need to find the correct solutions to the issues,” Gillett said. The citizen committee will reconvene to discuss the conference calls with the companies that submitted bids and possible next steps at 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 22, at Boyne City City Hall, 319 N. Lake St. in Boyne City.
HARBOR SPRINGS — Harbor Springs City Council discussed a few changes at the Harbor Springs Municipal Airport during Monday night’s council meeting. One of the discussion points concerned housecleaning: the council considered maintenance and improvements to the airport ramp. “To keep our status as a functioning and attractive airport, we’re required to have a multiyear plan as to what we need to do to maintain and make improvements to our airport,” said Harbor Springs city manager Tom Richards. Airports the size of Harbor Springs are largely funded by the state department of transportation, aeronautics division, said Richards. And because the air-
port is a smaller one, used more by private pilots as opposed to commercial airlines, it can use state and federal money to improve its grounds. Discussed was a plan to improve the taxiways and areas close to the terminal where airplanes can be parked and serviced. Too, the board considered the lease of the old terminal building for the business Sky Dive Harbor Springs. “It turns out we’ve learned they’re actually managing a similar service at several other airports, but are doing it out of the Harbor Springs airport remotely,” said Richards. “They’ve expressed an interest in leasing an old airport terminal that was moved out of two years ago.” The business is interested in a long-term lease of 25 years, and leasing it would include the business improving the building and continuing to keep it maintained.
Hot-air balloon pilot saves skydivers lives Greg Bluestein Associated Press
ATLANTA — As the hot-air balloon rose into the blue Georgia sky, skydiver Dennis Valdez remembers seeing a thunderstorm brewing in the distance. Pilot Edward Ristaino seemed concerned but not panicked as he maneuvered the balloon above a field and told the five skydivers to jump. It wasn’t until Valdez was in midair that he realized how dangerous the weather had become. He looked up and saw Ristaino’s balloon rising into a treacherouslooking storm cloud. “I thought this wasn’t a good situation for him,” the 36-yearold former Navy officer said, “but there was nothing I can do.” As lightning spidered across the sky and wind buffeted their parachutes, the five skydivers floated safely to the ground. Ristaino’s balloon, meanwhile, was sucked into the clouds and then sent crashing to the earth about eight miles away. His body was found at the bottom of his gondola Monday, nearly three days after the flight. “If we would have left a minute later, we would have been sucked into the storm,” skydiver Dan Eaton said. The group had taken off Friday evening, ascending from a festival in Fitzgerald, Ga., about 175 miles south of Atlanta. From the air, they could see only a haze that soon turned menacing. “It started off as just a red dot on the radar, and then it mushroomed very quickly into a big storm,” said Ben Hill County Sheriff Bobby McLemore. “This one just popped up out of the blue.” As the stor m brewed, the 63-year-old Ristaino spotted a 15-acre clearing and told the skydivers to get out. Three skydivers jumped first, followed shortly after by Valdez and a buddy from about 5,200 feet. “At least with a plane you can turn around. Or even a helicopter. We were at Mother Nature’s mercy and we had nowhere to go,” Eaton said. “It was just houses and power lines and trees below us. Then he found a 15-acre field and he says, ‘There you go. Get out.’” Eaton said he didn’t realize how bad the storm had become until he landed and looked up to see lightning cracking and winds howling.
“That’s when we started getting nervous,” Eaton recalled. “I just said, ‘That’s turned into something bad.’” An updraft took Ristaino into the clouds, 17,000 or 18,000 feet up, he told his ground crew via walkie-talkie. Then the storm apparently collapsed the balloon and twisted it into a streamer. He radioed in his altitude changes as he free-fell, apparently hoping to aid ground crews. “He told them he was in trouble,” the sheriff said. “He didn’t think he was gonna make it. He kept counting down.” In his last transmission, he said he was at 2,000 feet and saw trees beneath him, the sheriff said. Sunday evening, Valdez was holding out hope that the pilot was still alive, his basket perhaps hanging from a tree in the heavily wooded area. After searching the pines and other woods with helicopters, airplanes, horses and all-terrain vehicles, crews found Ristaino’s body Monday afternoon. The storm’s chaotic crosscurrents had complicated searchers’ efforts to figure out where the balloon crashed. Ristaino operated a balloon sightseeing company out of his home in Cornelius, N.C., about 20 miles north of Charlotte. He was described as a superb balloonist, and his passengers said Ristaino was also an accomplished skydiver himself. “He could take that balloon, blow it up in his front yard and take it up, missing all those power lines and everything,” said Carole White, a neighbor. “He’s been doing this for years and years. He loves it.” Eaton, who had flown with him about a half-dozen times before, said Ristaino had expertly navigated his passengers through other rough conditions. “I’ve seen him put the balloon down in someone’s front yard,” he said. “That takes skill.” His passengers were still shaken up on Monday with the news that Ristaino’s body had been found. Valdez said he would have strapped the pilot in with him when he jumped had he realized how dire the situation was. And Eaton said he would always owe a debt to the pilot who put his passengers’ safety first and ultimately gave his life. “None of us ever thought this would be the outcome,” he said.
More union-supported measures eye ballot LANSING (AP) — The latest union-supported proposal that could be headed for Michigan's November ballot would put collective bargaining rights for some types of home health care providers in the state constitution. The Board of State Canvassers on Monday approved the size, lettering and other physical features of petitions that soon could be circulated by a group called Citizens for Affordable Quality Home Care. The proposal, which
campaign treasurer Dohn Hoyle said is supported by the Service Employees International Union, aims to put features of what now is called the Michigan Quality Community Care Council in the state constitution. The program assists the elderly and disabled with in-home personal care services, providing them an option to avoid nursing homes. Supporters say the proposal also would ensure quality and training of service providers.

More songbirds found with high mercury levels Sam Inglot Capital News Service
LANSING — Scientists are f i n d i n g m o re G re at L a ke s birds with high levels of mercury in them. A recent report by the Biodiversity Research Institute says the increased levels are found particularly in songbirds that rely on insects for food. Aquatic birds still face the greatest risk for mercury exposure, said Joe Kaplan, a researcher with Common Coast Research & Conservation, a nonprofit loon research group based in Hancock. Two factors impact how mercury affects a bird, he said: the amount of mercury it’s exposed to and the bird’s sensitivity to the metal. Loons will always be exposed to more mercury than songbirds because of their fish diet, Kaplan said. However, loons have a low sensitivity to mercury compared to their woodland-dwelling counterparts. Until recently, mercury contamination was seen as a problem for water-dwelling birds with fish-based diets. Studies of mercury in loons have been done for decades.
In Michig an, bald eagles, common loons and trumpeter swans are the only birds routinely tested for metals such as mercury, lead and selenium, said Tom Cooley, a wildlife biologist at the Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Disease Laboratory. Swans, Cooley said, are exposed to mercury because they nose around in the bottom sediments of lakes and rivers looking for aquatic plants to munch on. Using a fluoroscope, or as Cooley calls it, “a poor man’s Xray,” biologists scan the livers of dead birds that have been brought into the laboratory. The aim, he said, is to determine what kind of adverse effects or behavioral changes the metals may induce in the birds. S o n g b i rd s h ave n o t b e e n heavily studied for mercury exposure, said Allyson Jackson, manager of the forest bird program at the Biodiversity Research Institute. The Mainebased organization researches emerging threats to wildlife and ecosystems. Higher levels of mercury can cause brain damage, she said. And at low levels there tends

to be a decline in reproductive success. Kaplan said the reason songbirds have elevated exposure could be that they eat insects associated with aquatic environments. And unlike loons, they may be unable to release the mercury through their feathers. Loons get rid of mercury through their feathers, like humans do through their hair.

birds must complete a migration before they can molt and release some of the mercury. Depending on species’ sensitivity, that’s when most problems occur. The institute said research into the problems of songbirds with high levels of mercury is an on-going process.

But for birds with high sensitivity, he said, that’s probably not the case. Mercury can be particularly harmful when birds migrate because migration is the most physically demanding time in a bird’s life, Kaplan said. The study said migration accounts for nearly 75 percent of annual mortality rates among some songbirds. Feathers stop growing during this time, and

Cabrera takes grounder off his face; Tigers lose CLEARWATER, Fla. — Miguel Cabrera looked like a prize fighter on the wrong end of a right hook. Cabrera left Monday’s 4-3 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies with a bloody face after a hard grounder from Hunter Pence hit Detroit’s six-time All-Star near the right eye. Cabrera was taken to a hospital to receive stitches and get precautionary X-rays. Cabrera was wearing sunglasses, and it’s uncertain whether the wicked one-hopper hit the right lens or just under it. He wiped blood off with his hand and held a towel to his face as he walked off the field. Cabrera’s head snapped back as the ball shot up. He stayed on his feet, but seemed dazed. Cabrera is making the transition back to third base this spring because Detroit signed first baseman Prince Fielder. Brennan Boesch hit a two-run homer for Detroit.

DETROIT — Alexander Ovechkin scored twice and the Washington Capitals beat the injuryplagued Detroit Red Wings 5-3 Monday night. Mike Knuble had a goal and an assist and Keith Aucoin and Jason Chimera also scored for Washington. It was the fifth straight loss and seventh in eight games for Detroit. Kyle Quincey, Todd Bertuzzi and Danny Cleary scored for Detroit. Brendan Smith had two assists and Jimmy Howard stopped 17 shots. Cleary put one in from a goalmouth scramble with 7:08 left for his 12th goal to bring the Red Wings to within 4-3. Chimera added an empty-net, power-play goal in the final minute.
Chris Hass started working on his shot in fourth grade, when his dad, Cliff, took the head coaching job at Pellston. “I was the manager up there and I'd go up there for every practice,” Chris Hass said. “I just took that and ran with it. By the end of fifth grade I could shoot a pull-up jump shot from 15 feet out. I think I definitely did that earlier than most people.” The early commitment to basketball has paid off. A 6-foot-4 senior, Hass leads Pellston into the final week of the season with 2,492 points — fourth best in state history. Hass also headlines the Associated Press Class D All-State team as Player of the Year. The Bucknell commit has averaged 31 points a game for the 23-1 Hornets, who captured their first regional championship since 1944 last week and will play in a state quarterfinal today, Tuesday, against Carney-Nadeau at Sault Ste.

The fact they play their roles and See ALLSTATE on PAGE B2
Special mention for Logger standout Puroll Boyne Falls senior Josh Puroll received special mention on the Associated Press Class D boys basketball All-State team. Puroll, a 6-foot-4, 230-pound senior, finished his four-year varsity career as his school’s all-time leading scorer with 1,786 points and 960 rebounds. He led the Loggers to the Northern Lakes Conference championship this season, their first since 2006. The Loggers finished 21-2 and were ranked sixth in the final AP Class D state poll. Both of Boyne Falls’ losses this season came to Bellaire, the second of which came in a district championship game. Bellaire is 24-1 and will play today, Tuesday, in a state quarterfinal game. Puroll averaged 21.4 points and 11.6 rebounds this season. He made 74.6 percent of his field goal attempts, and 63 percent of his free throw tries. He also made 66 steals.
DENVER — Peyton Manning is negotiating to join the Denver Broncos, ESPN reported Monday. Citing anonymous sources, ESPN said that the four-time MVP has instructed agent Tom Condon to negotiate the details of a deal with Denver. Manning became a Manning free agent when the Indianapolis Colts released him March 7 after the quarterback missed all of last season because of multiple neck surgeries. The addition of Manning could well lead to Denver trading Tim Tebow, even though the popular QB energized the Broncos in leading them to the playoffs last season despite some uneven play. One of two other teams considered finalists for in the race to sign Manning, the Tennessee Titans, released a statement Monday saying they were out of the picture. The San Francisco 49ers were the other team trying to land the star QB. Manning’s apparent move comes less than two weeks after he was cut loose by the Colts, who released him rather than pay a $28 million contract bonus.
Lions re-sign punter ALLEN PARK — The Detroit Lions re-signed punter Ben Graham to a one-year contract. Graham was the team’s punter for the final seven games of last season, putting 10 of 28 punts inside the 20-yard line with only three touchbacks. He replaced Robert Malone, who filed in for one game for the injured Ryan Donahue, and had a kick returned for a touchdown by Chicago’s Devin Hester. Graham then signed and punted the rest of the year.

Brad Klinger, 13, of Charlevoix competed in the Rocky Mountain/Central Division J4 Junior Championships in Steamboat Springs, Colorado in Super G, giant slalom and slalom.
Area skiers take to national slopes
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. — Brad Klinger, 13, of Charlevoix completed competition at the Rocky Mountain/Central Division Junior 4 Junior United States Ski and Snowboard Association Championships Saturday with a 58th place finish in slalom at Steamboat Springs. Klinger, who’s been skiing the USSA/CUSSA circuit this year for the Win Alpine Ski team, qualified for the Junior Championships (formerly known as the Junior Olympics) by placing 16th out of 71 skiers in the qualifers at Marquette Mountain Feb. 23-25. Klinger opened the competition with a 37th place finish in Super G on Thursday, and then placed tied for 37th in Giant Slalom Saturday. Klinger is among a group of top skiers across the Midwest and Rocky Mountain regional for his age group (ages 12-13) and is a seventh grader at Charlevoix Middle School, where he’s also a member of the
Charlevoix Middle School ski team. Also competing in the J4 Championships is Mitch Makela of Petoskey and Petoskey Middle Schooler, along with Maddy Fuhr man of Harbor Springs. Makela finished 35th in his opening round of competition in Super G and was 32nd in GS and 49th in Slalom, while Fuhrman was 70th in Super G, 69th in GS and 62nd in Slalom. Last weekend at the J3 Championships in Vail, Golden Peak, Colo., Petoskey Middle School’s Garret Lundteigen, age 14, finished sixth in slalom, 17th GS, 21st Super G and 42nd in downhill. Also competing in the J3 (ages 14-15) Championships was Harbor Springs Shea Fuhrman, who was 47th in downhill, 42nd Super G, 48th GS and 49th in slalom. Lundteigen races for the Boyne Racing Team, while Fuhrman is a member of the Win Alpine Ski Team.
I’m playing mine is great. Those guys don’t always get in the newspaper for playing good defense. I’m just thankful for my teammates and they really share the spotlight with me. “ I ’ ve a lw ay s h a d t h e dream of being named players of they year, I always had it in the back of my mind and to just have it happen is really cool.” With his place among the state's all-time scorers, Hass also continues a family tradition. His older sister, Stephanie, held the girls scoring record (2,732) for 10 years before Central Lake's Jasmine Hines broke her mark a year ago. “A lot of it comes from my dad, outside of basketball,” Hass said. “He tells us to work hard at what we do. He's never told me I need to get in the gym or pushed me to the point I'm sick of basketball. But he tells us if we're going to be good at something, we've got to work hard at it. We took that and ran with it.” While Chris Hass averaged nearly 28 points a game for his varsity career, he's hardly just a shooter. “I think my biggest pet peeve when I play basketball is when I come down the court on offense and I hear the opposing coach say 'here's the shooter,'” Hass said. “I don't want to be considered just a shooter. I want to be a kid that makes everyone else better on the floor.” This year, Hass averaged 8.7 rebounds and 5.8 assists a game. “Basketball is definitely a sport of confidence, I believe,” Hass said. “Having the opportunity to be named player of the year definitely gives me more confidence going into our next game. You always have to go out and be confident in your play.” Pellston's lone loss this year is to Bellaire and Class D Coach of the Year Stan Sexton. Over 23 years as varsity coach, Sexton has a 409-130 record, five regional titles and three trips to the state finals. His Eagles will play Muskegon Catholic Central in a quarterfinal tonight. Joining Hass on the Class D first team are Joey Blauwkamp from Wyoming TriUnity Christian, Middleton-Fulton's Tyler Walden, Malachi Satterlee from Climax-Scotts, Calvin Amey from Carsonville-Port Sanilac, Southfield Christian's Gavin Toma, Kaion Seales from Detroit Westside Academy, Munising's Kenya Oas,

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Been-there, done-that Spartans hit the road EAST LANSING (AP) — Michigan State so routinely wins at least two games in the NCAA tournament that no one in the program gets real fired up about the accomplishment. The Spartans are in the round of 16 for the 10th time in 15 years. Only Duke, with two more appearances, has won at least two games in NCAA tournaments more often since 1998. “It's another opportunity to possibly reach a Final Four,” do-it-all forward Draymond Green said Monday. “We've never been excited about making it to Sweet 16s. It's just one of those bumps that you have to go through in order to make it to the final destination.” Michigan State didn't have much time to celebrate anyway. The top-seeded Spartans practiced Monday at home about 24 hours after beating Saint Louis in Columbus, Ohio, and were scheduled to fly to Phoenix by Monday night. They face Louisville on Thursday night in a West Region semifinal. Michigan State coach Tom Izzo is 7-2 in the round of 16, but he's never had just three days to prepare for a regional semifinal. The Cardinals were already in Arizona practicing on Monday after beating New Mexico in Portland, Ore., on Saturday night. The Cardinals likely will use the extra rest to make the Spartans run. Louisville deployed its pressing, uptempo style early against
Michigan State in a 2009 regional final and the Big Ten powerhouse proved it didn't have to plod to win. The Spartans beat the Cardinals in that matchup by a dozen points. “Last time, they thought they were going to run us out the gym,” Green said. “We ran them out the gym.” Michigan State routed 16th-seeded Long Island University-Brooklyn 89-67 in a fast-paced game, then held off ninth-seeded St. Louis 6561 in a grinder. The wins put Izzo in good company. John Wooden, Adolph Rupp, Dean Smith, Bob Knight, Denny Crum, Mike Krzyzewski, Roy Williams, Jim Calhoun and Izzo are the coaches who have advanced to the round of 16 at least 10 times in a 15-season span, according to STATS LLC. If the Spartans get past Louisville, history suggests they'll beat the winner of the Marquette-Florida to reach the Final Four for the seventh time in 14 seasons under Izzo. He is 17-3 in the second game of an NCAA tournament weekend. Green has been leading the way for the Spartans. Since the field expanded in 1985, he has more combined points (40), rebounds (20) and assists (16) than any other player in his first two games of an NCAA tournament. Green, though, isn't interested in taking a break to enjoy any gains made by himself or the team. “You could even see it af-

ter our celebration after the game — (just) hugs,” he said. “It's just another step in the road to get to where we're really trying to go.” Unlike the two secondseeded teams that are already out of the tourney, Michigan State has avoided an early knockout as a highseeded team in the NCAA tournament under Izzo. He has lost in the first round four times as 10th-, seventhand six-seeded teams. Izzo's teams that have been seeded fifth or better have at least reached the round of 16. “I think that speaks about some leadership,” Izzo said. “When you go to these tournaments and you get in those hotels, that's where all the distractions start. If you don't have good leadership in the hotels, parents come, aunts and uncles come, I'm sure there's agents swarming around hotels, just alums in general. I think we've stayed pretty focused. ... That's why we've had some success.”
COLLEGE FROM B1 allow a hit in facing 13 batters, one over the minimum. The game was called after five innings because of the mercy rule.

Celebrate freedom. It’s your right. Our country’s founders believed passionately in individual freedom — in the rights of citizens to be protected from a government that was too controlling.
Yet, centuries later, one in three Americans say they have too much freedom and half of American high schoolers said they think newspapers should not be able to publish stories without government approval.* Those are disturbing ďŹ gures. The First Amendment helps provide for a “marketplace of ideas,â€? so individuals may choose which ideas and concepts to question, embrace or reject.
First Amendment to the Constitution Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the
Č˜É‘Č?Č?ȇɄȚ
free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the
people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Freedom of ... religion
speech
The First Amendment prevents the government from establishing an ofďŹ cial religion. Citizens have freedom to attend a church, synagogue, temple or mosque of their choice — or not to attend at all. The First Amendment allows us to practice our religion the way we want to.
The First Amendment keeps the government from making laws that might stop us from saying what we think. People have the right to criticize the government and to share their opinions with others.
the press assembly right to petition
We can get information from many different sources. The government cannot control what is printed in newspapers and books, broadcast on TV and radio or offered online. Citizens can request time on television to respond to views with which they disagree; they may write letters to newspaper editors. They can pass out leaets that give their opinions. They can voice their opinions on personal Web pages.
Citizens can come together in public and private gatherings. They can join groups for political, religious, social or recreational purposes. By organizing to accomplish a common goal, citizens can spread their ideas more effectively.
“To petition the government for a redress of grievances� means that citizens can ask for changes in the government. They can do this by collecting signatures and sending them to their elected representatives; they can write, call or e-mail their elected representatives; they can support groups that lobby the government.
The First Amendment. Keep it strong. QFUPTLFZOFXT DPN r MPDBM OFXT ZPV DBO U HFU BOZXIFSF FMTF *Poll conducted by University of Connecticut Department of Public Policy. 2005

FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE
LYNN JOHNSON
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is an 8 — You’re lucky, powerful and looking good. The trick is to inspire action, rather than demand it. Celebrate results, and acknowledge partners. Your charm’s magnetic. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is an 8 — Share what you’ve learned with someone who’s providing assistance. Rely on loved ones at home. Listen up ... they’re saying nice things about you. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is an 8 — Your career’s taking off, and your cheering section approves.

JIM DAVIS

Leave room for others to shine, too. Feel the love. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is an 8 — Find the solution in the usual place. Visualize beauty.

PEARLS BEFORE SWINE
STEPHAN PASTIS
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is an 8 — Taking a walk outdoors helps clear your thoughts. Keep your eyes wide open. There’s a lot to learn in unexpected places. Observe a caterpillar. Build a dynamic vision. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8 — Fine-tuning actions and letting go of unnecessary steps leads to increased satisfaction.

Oh, the places he’s gone
T
wo years ago I proudly watched the opening ceremonies of The Winter Olympic Games as it was televised from my home town of Vancouver. As one man took center stage from a towering pedestal platform, I heard “We are More” for the first time. His poem started out with the words “Define Canada,” and it ended up doing just that in an electrifying way I wasn’t expecting. For two and a half minutes, Shane Koyczan dramatically recited his powerful words to me and roughly three billion other people around the world. The performance was a refreshing and brilliant surprise, but what was equally amazing was that this unknown poet was given the opportunity in the first place. “When I was first invited I thought I would be performing for people as they were walking into the stadium,” he said. “And I thought that was a great opportunity.” With a belief that it’s the same show whether he’s performing for two people or 2000, Shane got through his performance feeling more anxious about the height of the stage than the massive size of his audience. Yet nerves weren’t about to stand in his way. As he spoke about Canada being the true north strong and free, he himself appeared true, north, strong and free, as he unleashed an art form onto the world that doesn’t get the recognition or exposure it deserves. “Poetry has never been an easy sell for people who want to see a live show,” he said. “I personally love a lot of poetry from old text books, but it’s not always relatable. I think the Olympics gave people a glimpse of what poetry can be, and in that way it’s been very positive.”
An admirer of his work, I was excited to meet and interview him last week. When he arrived at my studio I told him that I wanted to interview him in an unusual way, one that he was probably not accustomed to. He surprised me yet again with his immediate willingness to play along with my favourite childhood poet, Dr Seuss and I. Later on I found out that he also had a favourite artist from childhood when he revealed one of his biggest influences was Charlie Chaplin. “My grandfather and I had been watching his movies in chronological order,” he said “They were all silent films at first, but eventually sound was added, and when I heard Charlie talk and deliver the final speech in the Last Dictator, I felt my life change in that moment.” The power of words and their remarkable influence stuck with him and ended up serving him well as an adolescent. After years of being bullied and feeling ill-equipped to connect with his peers, he started writing down prepared responses for the times he was spoken to. This expressive outlet, combined with a newly discovered knack for performing, brought out the artist in him. Often referred to as a slam poet, or a spoken word artist, Shane has written a book about being bullied and has another new book of poetry, a CD and is now doing shows across Canada with a band that he brought in to add another level of entertainment value to his fans. I’m looking forward to seeing him take center stage to give an electrifying performance once again. For his tour schedule please visit: ShaneKoyczan.com

Surgeon general wants Michigan teens to be smoke free Almost 50 years after the landmark 1964 surgeon general’s report on tobacco, Dr. Regina Benjamin, United States surgeon general, released a new report and called on the nation to make the next generation tobacco-free. According to the report, Preventing Tobacco Use Among Youth and Young Adults, far too many youth and young adults are using tobacco. Today more than 600,000 middle school students and 3 million high school students smoke cigarettes. In Michigan alone, an estimated 18.8 percent of Michigan high school students smoke. Teen smoking rates for Northern Michigan track with state rates, according to the Michigan Profile for Healthy Youth (MiPHY), a survey of middle and high schools every other year. In the most recent survey, conducted during the 2010-11 academic year, 16.4 percent of high school students in Antrim County smoke, 18.8 percent in Emmet County, and 20.3 percent in Charlevoix County. Each day more than 1,200 people die because of smoking. For every one of those deaths, at least two new youths or young adults become regular smokers. And 90 percent of these replacement smokers smoke their first cigarette before they turn age 18. The comprehensive report provides further scientific evidence on young people’s sensitivity to nicotine. The younger they are when they start using tobacco, the more likely they are to get addicted and the more heavily addicted they will become. Nicotine addiction will cause about 3 out of 4 teens to smoke in-
METRO
In Michigan, 18.8 percent of Michigan high school students smoke. A new report from the surgeon general calls for the next generation to be tobacco free. to adulthood, even if they intend to quit after a few years. The report finds that tobacco marketing is a key factor in causing young people to start using tobacco, and nicotine addiction keeps them using it. More than $1 million an hour is spent on marketing tobacco products in this country and 99 percent of all new smokers come from youth and young adult populations who are enticed to smoke by this marketing. Tobacco companies say their marketing only promotes brand choices among adult smokers, but regardless of
intent, it encourages underage youth to smoke. The more young people are exposed to cigarette advertising and promotional activities, the more likely they are to smoke. The report shows tobacco advertising and promotion encourages the myth that smoking makes and keeps you thin. This message is especially appealing to young girls. This report concludes that teen smokers are not thinner than non-smokers. Images in tobacco marketing make tobacco use look appealing to young people who want to fit in with their peers. Kids and
teens see smoking in their social circles, movies they watch, video games they play, websites they visit, and many communities where they live. Smoking is often portrayed as a normal, acceptable, even appealing activity; young people exposed to these images are more likely to smoke. And in 2010, nearly a third of topgrossing movies for children — those with G, PG, or PG-13 ratings — contained images of tobacco use. The report concludes that smoking in movies causes youth to start smoking. “The evidence in the new sur-
geon general’s report clearly demonstrates the need for intensified and sustained efforts to prevent our young people from using tobacco,� said Lynne DeMoor, who coordinates the Tobacco Reduction Coalition of Northwest Michigan. “We know what works: comprehensive efforts that include mass media campaigns, 100 percent smoke-free laws in restaurants, bars and worksites, high cigarette prices, evidence-based school programs, and sustained community-wide efforts. We must redouble our efforts to protect the young people in Michigan.� While the long-ter m health effects of tobacco use are wellknown, this report concludes that smoking early in life has substantial health risks that begin almost immediately, even for youth and young adults. For heart disease, we see early damage in most young smokers and those most sensitive die very young. Smoking during youth and adolescence slows down lung growth. Teens who smoke are not only short of breath today — they may end up as adults with lungs that never reach their full capacity. That damage is permanent. “If Michigan fully funded its tobacco control program and adopted the strategies outlined in the report, youth smoking rates could decline by half in six years,� DeMoor said. “Most importantly, we would greatly reduce the staggering toll that tobacco takes on our families and communities.� For online copies of the full surgeon general’s report, executive summary, and an easy-to-read guide on tobacco use and young people, visit www.surgeongeneral.gov.
Michigan woman says dog saved her life Barflies: Sex-deprived male flies like to go for the booze Bob Gross
Port Huron Times Herald
PORT HURON — Lisa Hulber gazes affectionately at her dog, Effie. She’s always had a bond with the mixed breed, but the two have grown even closer this past year. Effie, or Effie Mae as Lisa and her husband, Scott, sometimes call her, saved the 50-year-old Port Huron resident’s life. “She found my cancer,� Huber said. She believes, and there’s evidence she might be correct, that Effie was able to pinpoint her breast cancer even when modern medical technology could not. “She started sniffing me, and I’ve had mammo g rams and they’re totally clear, and she started sniffing me this year, maybe about April, and she would not stop, kept at it, would not stop,� Hulber said. “I went and had another mammogram, and there was nothing and then we had an ultrasound and we found a tumor. “After a ... biopsy they determined it was cancer.� The tumor was an uncommon cancer called invasive lobular carcinoma. It had spread from her right breast to the lymph node in her left armpit. “That kind of cancer is notorious for not showing up on a mammogram,� Dr. Timothy Cox, a medical oncologist at Blue Wa-
ter Oncology in Port Huron said. “Instead of the most common kind of breast cancer that forms a lump, this forms a thickening of the tissues.� He said most authorities recommend women start getting mammograms at the age of 40. He said there is some debate about whether women between 40 and 50 should receive annual mammograms. “If it was my wife I would be doing it yearly,� he said. A study in August at a hospital in Germany with four speciallytrained dogs, two German shepherds, a Labrador retriever and an Australian shepherd, found they were able to detect lung cancer. Dogs also have been trained to detect low blood sugar in children with Type 1 diabetes. Hulber said Effie has a “good nose,� but she won’t play fetch. She is, however, a bit of ham. Point your finger at her and shout “Bang!� and she’ll roll over and play dead — as long as there’s a treat waiting. Say her name, and her tail swings back and forth like a horizontal metronome. Say “squirrel,� and her ears perk up and she charges out the back door. Hulber calls her a “Heinz 57� because of the number of unknown breeds in Effie’s background. “She actually is a rescue dog,� Hulber said. “I got her, I started volunteering for Last Day Dog
Rescue (based in Livonia), and I would take mamas and their puppies. She was a mama with seven puppies. Nobody wanted her in Ohio, and they were getting ready to gas her and all of her puppies. It was a high-kill shelter. “So we got her out and I started fostering her,� Hulber said. “I got all of her puppies adopted out, but her, she had some issues. She dug holes in the yard, she used to cower around men, she would growl at children, she was just completely unadoptable, nobody would want her. “So we worked it out with Last Day Dog Rescue, and me and my husband kept her and she’s actually turned out to be a great dog. I mean, I rescued her and she rescued me.� Hulber has been through a double mastectomy and chemotherapy and is about to start radiation therapy. “My prognosis is good,� she said. “Yeah, my oncologist says 75 percent, but through the research I’ve done if I could go through the radiation and chemotherapy and do everything by the book I actually have as good as a 93 percent chance.� She said she’s glad she took a chance with Effie “You never know who is going to be your savior,� Hulber said. “Is it your doctors with all that technology, or is it going to be your dog? She’s my savior.�
Study of ‘meth babies’ finds behavior problems CHICAGO (AP) — The first study to look at methamphetamine’s potential lasting effects on children whose mothers used it in pregnancy finds these kids at higher risk for behavior problems than other children. The behavior differences — anxiety, depression, moodiness — weren’t huge, but lead researcher Linda LaGasse called them “very worrisome.� Methamphetamine is a stimulant like crack cocaine, and earlier research showed meth babies have similarities to so-called
“crack babies� — smaller in size and prone to drowsiness and stress. Results in long-term studies conflict on whether children of cocaine-using mothers have lasting behavior problems. Whether problems persist in young children of meth users is unknown. But LaGasse, who does research at Brown University’s Center of the Study of Children at Risk, said methamphetamine has stronger effects on the brain so it may be more likely to cause lasting effects in children. The study was published on-
line Monday in Pediatrics. The National Institutes of Health paid for the research, including a grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Government data suggest more than 10 million Americans have used meth; fewer than 1 percent of pregnant women are users. More than half of the mothers who’d used meth during pregnancy also used it afterwards. These women also were more likely to use other drugs during and after pregnancy and to be single mothers.
Malcolm Ritter AP Science Writer
NEW YORK — Guys, when your sweetheart says “No thanks� to sex, do you knock back a few stiff drinks to feel better? Turns out fruit flies do pretty much the same thing. That’s the word from a new study that may explain why both species react that way. In Friday’s issue of the journal Science, researchers propose a biological explanation for why “Not tonight, dear� may lead to “Gimme another beer.� If it proves true in people, it may help scientists find new medications to fight alcoholism. In that case, we can thank thousands of frustrated flies. One by one, these eager Lotharios were put into a container with a female that had just mated. So she was really, really not interested in doing it again anytime soon. She would run away. She would kick the male. She would stick out her egg-laying organ to hold him at bay. The male flies went through three hour-long sessions of this every day for four days, enough rejection to discourage them from trying any more. After that experience, rejected flies were put in vials and given a choice of regular food or alcohollaced food. They consistently went for the alcohol more than did the male flies that had just mated. In fact, they evidently got plastered. Some rejected males were moved to a different environment, where groups of guys mingled with receptive females. After the guys had sex, their yen for alcohol declined. The researchers also paired thousands of other male flies with dead virgin females, so that they didn’t experience rejection but didn’t have sex either. They still hit the sauce. What’s going on here? The researchers did other work that implicates a substance in the

fly brain called NPF. They theorize that pleasurable activities like having sex boost the activity of brain circuits that use NPF, and that feels good. If a fly is denied sex, the system goes into deficit, driving the fly to seek other rewarding activities such as drinking alcohol. “I think it’s a pretty good bet that it will translate to humans,� said Ulrike Heberlein of the University of California, San Francisco, who led the research. If so, “one can say we could now understand why a negative experience, such as a sexual rejection, could drive somebody to drink.� Further research into NPF brain circuitry could shed light on the biology of alcohol abuse and possibly point to treatments someday, said Troy Zars of the University of Missouri in Columbia, who didn’t participate in the new work. Fruit flies are a favorite lab animal in part because scientists have exquisite control over their biology. Here, the researchers were able to alter brain function to zero in on NPF’s role. Whatever the relevance to humans, the work already pays off when Heberlein meets people at parties. “It makes for wonderful conversation,� she said. “When you tell them this story, they just really can’t believe it.�
