50th anniversary of Alpenfest Arson

suspected in blaze

offers 2 new events to brighten the night skies Lorene Parshall (989) 732-1111 lparshall@gaylordheraldtimes.com

GAYLORD — ain showers and chill may dampen the first couple of days of Alpenfest, but the weather will brighten progressively during the following days, according to Aaron Mayhew of the Gaylord Forecast Office of the National Weather Service. “Tuesday we’ll be in the low 60s (degrees) and Wednesday in the upper 60s,” Mayhew said. “It will reach the low 70s Thursday, slowly warming up to the upper 70s over Friday and Saturday.” Mayhew said there will be a 60 percent chance of rain on Tuesday, but by Wednesday it will be down to 40 percent and clear and sunny on the following days. A little damp and chill shoudn’t deter folks from attending Alpenfest. Patt Dobrzelewski, board president, said Alpenfest’s 50th year offers two new and dazzling events, one taking place on the opening evening. “There will be a laser light show under the Pavilion after the Burning of the Boogg,” she said. “That’s going to be exciting. And the final night of Alpenfest will end with fireworks. We’ve never done that before. The fireworks will be set off at the (Otsego County Community) dog park, so hopefully they’ll be seen from downtown.” The laser light show (and free ice cream, as long as it lasts) will take place at 10 p.m. today (Tuesday) at the Pavilion on Court. Anyone wanting to see the fireworks display at dusk Saturday at close range can view them at 540 S. Illinois Ave., next to the dog park. Five fun-filled days are assured with the new events and such ever-popular traditions such as the Burning of the Boogg and Alpenfest Queen’s Pageant today (Tuesday) and the Grand Parade (Saturday). Costume and pet parades, contests and prizes for men, women and children, clowns, jugglers, carnival and so much more will be offered during Alpenfest. Food and beverages will be available for purchase from various vendors. Free refreshments will be offered at The World’s Largest Coffee Break (Wednesday) and every day at other food events for those wearing a 2014 Alpenfest pin. Dobrzelewski, who has been board president for 10 years, has personal favorites among the Alpenfest events. “I enjoy the concerts,” she said. “The best thing is they’re free. There are four free main concerts See 50th, A4

CORWITH TWP. — The Michigan State Police are investigating a suspected arson that destroyed a home in Corwith Township Friday evening. According to reports, the initial 9-1-1 call came in shortly before 5:30 p.m. of a fully engulfed structure at 9508 Old 27 North, between McGregor and Alexander roads, just north of Vanderbilt. According to David Cadaret, Vanderbilt-Corwith fire and rescue chief, firefighters were on the scene within 10 minutes of the call. The fire took about an hour and a half to contain. See Corwith, A4

Ballot language confusing to some Mark Johnson (989) 732-1111 mjohnson4@gaylordheraldtimes.com GAYLORD — There is new language featured on August’s primary election ballots and on absentee ballots already that has some residents confused and worried. Found on the bottom of the millage renewal requests for the Otsego County Commission on Aging, Otsego County Recycling and Otsego County Library, the ballot reads “To the extent required by law, a portion of this millage may be captured by and retained by the City of Gaylord Downtown Development Authority.” This ballot language has some residents concerned, but city officials say there is nothing to be worried about. “It is not a new tax or anything like that,” said Justin Burchett, executive director of the Gaylord Downtown Development Authority (DDA). “Just new ballot language.” Due to a tax-increment finance (TIF) plan, approved and implemented by the city back in 1994, the DDA has the ability to capture increases in the Standard Equalized Value (SEV) property tax, set in 1994. In 1994, the DDA district was

Alpenfest board treasurer Mike Cwik was on the job preparing for the festival Monday morning. The frame of the Boogg, constructed by Chris Dandeneau, is in place and waiting to be decorated by Analiese Puzon, 2013 Alpenfest Queen, and her court.

Alphorn player Fako has tooted her horn for years on the ‘Strasse GAYLORD — Everyone likes to toot their horn at Alpenfest. But no one does it better than Nancy Fako. She’s the lady who has been playing the alphorn at Gaylord’s signature summer celebration for more than 25 years. “A lot of the younger people don’t remember Alpenfest without me,” Fako said. Every year, an eager crowd looks forward to Fako’s alphorn

salute that officially opens the festival. “She’s an iconic symbol of the Alpine Village,” said Matt Barresi, this year’s Buergermeister. “The sound of the alphorn calls us into the whole week.” Fako produces that unforgettable sound on a musical instrument made in Switzerland that is slightly under 12 feet long and constructed of Swiss pine wrapped in rattan from Indonesia. The alphorn is the national instrument of Switzerland, originally played by mountain herds-

men to signal danger, distress or to greet other herdsmen. “Nothing else sounds like it,” said John Jenkins, Gaylord mayor. “When she starts playing, everything comes to a stop. You can hear a pin drop.” Fako said when people see and hear her alphorn, they inevitably ask questions like, “Is that yours?” “What are you smoking in there?” and “How do you play that thing?” She plays with very impressive and experienced musical chops. Fako, 72, grew up in the Chi-

cago area and began her musical studies as a child at the piano. She began playing the French horn at age 16 and studied with Philip Farkas, a renowned horn teacher at Indiana University who, quite literally, “wrote the book” on horn playing, “The Art of French Horn Playing.” At 20, Fako was appointed principal horn in the Florida Symphony Orchestra. At 21, she was the first female brass player in the Houston Symphony Orchestra. See ‘In Gaylord, A4

Voters will decide Aug. 5 whether to eliminate personal property tax Craig Currier (231) 439-9358 ccurrier@petoskeynews.com

Proposal 1 will replace personal property tax dollars with money derived from the state’s 6 percent use tax, which is paid on out-of-state purchases, as well as on certain services such as telecommunications and hotel accommodations.

Michigan’s personal property tax, which requires businesses to pay an annual tax on machinery and other equipment they own, has long frustrated business owners throughout the state. Now, if voters approve the change Aug. 5, a phasing-out of the socalled “double tax” will begin until it’s eliminated in 2023. State lawmakers have already approved a new plan that replaces personal property tax revenues with money from more,” Rossman-McKinmanager Dan Ralley said Photo courtesy of John Burt existing tax sources, but ney said. last month the certainty Commissioner Ken Borton (left) recognized Randy Stults July 8 at the Otsego County Board of Comthey must have support The main concern is that there will be no lost missioners meeting.

American Petroleum Institute establishes new drilling standards Mark Johnson (989) 732-1111 mjohnson4@gaylordheraldtimes.com WASHINGTON —The American Petroleum Institute (API) announced the implementation of new industry standards regarding community engagement during a media call Wednesday. David Miller, director of standards for API, announced the creation of the new community engagement guidelines for communities affected by hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling. The announcement was made via media call to a number of reporters and others from around the country. “Safety is a core value of our standards,” Miller said. “They are focused on providing guidelines for the best practices and designed to raise the bar.” A packet was provided by API, outlining the new guidelines. Work began in 2011 and resulted in these guidelines, including a five-phase model oil and gas operators and workers are encouraged to practice before, during and

after projects. These phases include the entry, exploration, development, operations and production and exit phases. The entry phase is the first phase, when the company considers possible locations for the drilling. When looking at the different possibilities, a number of items are considered, including size and viability of the source being considered, roads and other current infrastructure, existing pipelines and the ability of the land to adapt to such an operation among other items. Within this phase, it is suggested that a number of other, smaller tasks be completed. Some of these include hiring proper, experienced personnel to help work on the project, completing the required step of meeting with stakeholders and creating a line of communication with community members and government officials among others. An important piece of the communication strategy involves distributing educational materials to the public that better explains the potential project and

more information about the company. “We have to make sure the line of communication exists (between us and the community),” Miller said. “We understand it is a community effort.” During the exploration phase, following the entry phase, local residents and others will begin to see the site really come to life. Different activities will begin and the sight will see an addition of workers, equipment and vehicles. At this time, different things like well pads and roads will be constructed and built, with the potential for drilling to begin. With construction and drilling potentially underway, the importance of remaining transparent and working with stakeholders as often as possible is something that is stressed. To keep stakeholders in the loop as far as the progress being made, problems being encountered and future plans, this phase recommends the company holds open houses with the public and personal meetings with stakeholders, to inform them

of what is going on and answer any questions. This could mean working with local transportation officials to help make the traffic flow remain as smooth and safe as possible. In addition, many other forms of communication are suggested to ease any worries the community may have. Community feedback is welcome as it may help solve problems and create new ideas. This phase also includes pointing out different workforce opportunities which may supply jobs to the area. The development phase begins when it is known that there are adequate resources available to drill for. This phase is similar to the exploration phase, although it usually features more activity. To begin the phase, operators determine how much additional financial resources are required, if any. Once that is completed, the construction of new facilities, pipelines and other items are built or installed. Again, communication is a key factor during this step as stakeholders, emergency

responders, community members and others are informed of the different activities underway. Promoting safety, health and the environment is also of importance. In preparation for the following phase, operations and production, companies are encouraged to explain the possible economic impacts the area may experience, potential challenges and problems as well as positive effects like job creation and local hiring practices. Education and collaboration with universities, colleges and even K-12 facilities is encouraged, so students can learn more about oil and gas and also learn about career opportunities. The operations and production phase involves maintaining the site and effectively maximizing production through the duration of the project. During this time it is important to address community questions and keep everyone aware of the progress being made. Additional opportunities for careers and employment will be made available and operators and

other workers are encouraged to become involved in the community. To conclude the project, the exit phase is utilized. The future exit should be planned in advance in order to prepare the community for the departure. According to the packet, once the company completely moves off of the site, the land should be nearly, or completely, restored to it’s original state. The entire packet with the complete guidelines with all of the specifics and additional information, can be found at api.org. With many people remaining apprehensive or even opposed to these methods of drilling, API hopes these new standards will help ease their concern. “These guidelines will provide a road map for oil and natural gas operators seeking to build lasting, successful relationships with local residents in areas of the country where energy development opportunities are open for the first time, thanks to advances in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing,” Miller said.

A car turning onto M-32 from North Towline Road, west of Gaylord, struck a car traveling westbound Thursday morning. According to Otsego County Sheriff’s Deputy Joshua Tubbs, the driver could not see the oncoming car on M-32, due to a construction site obstructing the driver’s view. Minor injuries were reported.

Judge orders trial for Cheasapeake in leasing case CHEBOYGAN (AP) — A Michigan judge has ordered an Oklahoma City-based energy company to stand trial on criminal charges in what authorities say was a land-leasing scheme. According to Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette, Chesapeake Energy Corp. rigged bids at a 2010 state oil and gas lease auction. Cheboygan District Judge Maria Barton says there’s enough evidence to

send the company to trial on one count of violating Michigan’s antitrust law. Barton has dismissed two other charges, and Schuette said Thursday he’ll appeal that decision. Chesapeake spokesman Gordon Pennoyer has said the company believes the charges are without merit and it “will vigorously contest” the allegations. No trial date has been set in Cheboygan Circuit Court.

50th Alpenfest adds new nighttime events Cont’d

this year and music will be going on all day long every day in the Pavilion. The Young Americans will be on the main stage Wednesday. They’re always a crowdpleaser.” Putting together a massive event such as Alpenfest is a complicated task. Dobrzelewski said all the planning for Alpenfest is done by the Alpenfest board, with each member taking on several committees. “Tiffany Larson, the special events coordinator of the chamber, is our only paid employee on the board,” Dobrzelewski said. “She oversees Alpenfest when it’s going on, making sure everyone stays on task. When the board does their job it makes her job easier.” Other members of the board include Kay Lyn Carey-Jeakle, Susie Marshall, Mike Cwik, Kevin Wahr, Paul Beachnau, Curt Reppuhn, Ted Miller and honorary board member Gaylord Mayor John Jenkins. “What makes Alpenfest successful is the board, community volunteers and the families that attend,” Dobrzelewski said. “A lot of people return to Gaylord just to attend Alpenfest.” The 2014 Alpenfest brochure can be picked up at the Gaylord Area Chamber of Commerce, 225 W. Main St., and can be viewed at www.gaylordalpenfest. com/pdf/2012-AlpenfestBrochure.pdf.

“It’s the best thing I do all year.” Nancy Fako has been stopping crowds at Alpenfest for many years. Here she is in 1993 on the Alpenstrasse.

“Those men really didn’t like me,” she said. “I was cramping their style.” The following season, in 1964, Fako earned a spot in the French horn section of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. At 22, she was one of the youngest members of the group and one of only five women to join “the men of the orchestra.” Later, she joined the Chicago Lyric Opera Orchestra and spent many summers at Interlochen Summer Music Academy in Northern Michigan. She collaborated with Farkas on his book, “The Art of Brass Playing,” and later, at the request of his widow, wrote a biography about her teacher who had also become her friend and colleague. Fako is currently a freelance French horn player and teacher. She travels to festivals throughout the country to thrill crowds with her alphorn. “For about 20 years I’ve been playing at festivals all over the place — Utah, Colorado, Milwaukee — mostly for Octoberfests,” she said. “Alpenfest was the first, and it may be the last. In Gaylord, everybody is interested and happy and friendly.” Folks who see and hear the “alphorn lady” in Gaylord should consider this: Because of her remarkable musical talent, Fako, at a young age, was in a small but elite minority of women in the world who played in a major symphony orchestra, which was at the time very much a man’s world. “Phil (Farkas) told me ‘you’ll be OK as long as you play twice as well as all the men,’” she said. “But I never felt discriminated against; every time I auditioned, I got the job.” In 1976, Fako traveled to Switzerland as a clinician for the International Horn Society’s annual conference. She remembered seeing an alphorn hanging on Farkas’ studio wall and decided to purchase one of her own. “It leaned up against the wall in my house for years,” she said. “My husband said he was going to use it as the world’s most expensive downspout.” Fako said as the last of her five children was growing up, she decided to use her alphorn as it was truly intended. “I was at Interlochen and I saw Alpenfest ads on TV,” she said. “So I wrote to Jim Mongeau, and he wrote back to me right away. He asked me to do the opening.” Mongeau, who was a visionary and driving force behind Alpenfest since its inception, made a wise decision in bringing Fako to the event. Since then, Fako not only heralds the start of Alpenfest on Tuesday evening, she leads the walking parade on Wednesday morning. “On Wednesday morning I lead the parade, tears are streaming down my face,” she said. “I cannot contain my happiness. It’s the best thing I do all year.” Over the years, Fako has not only enjoyed and participated in Alpenfest, she has made friends in Gaylord. “She is one of us for Alpenfest,” Jenkins said. “She is part and parcel of what we do. Nobody does what she does — nobody.”

valued at $16,823,275. The 2014 value is $20,196,012, almost a 20 percent increase of $3,372,737, eligible to be captured by the DDA. If the DDA is to capture these monies, it must be used for town improvements in the DDA district, such as light pole replace-

ment, landscaping and other things. “That money goes right back into the community,” said Joe Duff, city manager. Part of the monies eligible to be captured by the DDA include portions of the renewal mills for the library, commission on aging and recycling program. According to a docu-

ment obtained from Duff and Burchett, 0.40 mills, or $1,349.10, would be captured by the DDA from the library renewal, one mill totaling $3,372.74 from the Commission on Aging renewal and 0.25 mills or $843.13 from the recycling renewal. No revenue is captured from any school millage

levy or residential structures. According to Duff, there are only two leased residential structures in the DDA district. All others are commercial. Duff added a public hearing was held previously for those who would be affected, informing them of this process. As it stands, the total

millage revenue for the library renewal is at $470,339, the commission on aging renewal is at $1,175,848, the recycling renewal at $291,222, and the Gaylord Community Schools renewal is at $9,046,000. The purpose of TIF plans are to help stop decreasing property values and help to increase property tax

valuations by promoting economic growth. To do this, the law allows portions of property tax levies to be acquired, including county taxes and special authority tax levies like those of libraries and police. Residents are reminded and encouraged to vote in the primary election Tuesday, Aug. 5.

Death notices Susie Ann (Glidden) Switalski Timothy Lee McGuffin

Susie Ann (Glidden) Switalski, 83, of Gaylord, died Saturday, July 12, 2014, at home on the farm surrounded by her family. She was born on May 1, 1931, the third child of Harry and Ruth (Coon) Glidden. Her folks had a dairy farm north of Alba, Mich. Susie attended Alba School though the eighth grade at which time, in 1945, her folks moved to Gaylord. Susie’s first summer in Gaylord was spent working as a housekeeper for summer residents from Ohio at Arbutus Beach. Susie started school in the fall of 1945 in the ninth grade at Gaylord Rural Agricultural School. She was active is glee club, softball and basketball as well as other school activities. She remained involved with the school and was instrumental in organizing class reunions. She also worked at Dunk Inn during the summer months and school year. In the fall, she picked potatoes for Herb Gingell Farm. Susie graduated from high school in 1949 and along with two classmates, went to cosmetology school in Grand Rapids. She returned to Gaylord in May of 1950 and started working at Mae’s Beauty Shop where she worked for more than 12 years. She met Edward Switalski in 1946 after his return from serving in the armed forces during World War II. They were married on June 13, 1953, and soon after, bought a farm just north of town where they raised dairy for 35 years. She felt the farm was not keeping her busy enough so she went to work at Svend’s Beauty and Barber Shop for a few years! In the summer of 1968, Susie began working to gather information on the needs of handicap people living in Otsego County. Through this effort, the Alpine Association for Retarded Citizens was established. In November of 1988, the milk cows were sold and Susie went to work at

K-Byte for more than four years, retiring in 1993. She then signed up for the Retired Senior Volunteer Program in 2008 where she worked in several of its programs meeting new and wonderful friends. She also helped at the Otsego Historical Society. She was also a member of St. Mary Cathedral and the Altar Rosary Society. Susie enjoyed a variety of crafts, including knitting, embroidering, sewing, painting, flower arrangements and many more. She liked gardening, taking walks and being outdoors. Susie and Ed would take trips to the U.P. to visit Ed’s sister at her summer home and even took a trip to Alaska. Most of all, she loved her children and being able to spend time with them. She always felt she had a good life and a lot to be thankful for. Susie is survived by her children, Aaron (Brenda Cross), Lawrence (Patty), Nancy Corbin; grandchildren, Trevor, Nicholas, Joshua, Patrick, Kandy, Dennis (Bub), Kimberly, Melissa; great-grandchildren, Alexander, Alyssa, Dominick, Justice, Katelynn, Dustin, Caleb, Sydney, Sofi; brother, Harry (Sarah) Glidden; sister, Minna (Everett) Green.

Gaylord performer sings, dances way to Young Americans HANCOCK, N.Y. — ameron Stefanski is living his dream. Stefanski will join the Young Americans and help uphold their mission of spreading a positive message throughout the world through music, dance and education. “I always wanted to travel while performing,” the 21-yearold Gaylord resident said. “I think the Young Americans’ mission sustains allowing students to flourish as performance artists whether it be through performance or academics. They allow the cast to grow, experience the world and gain confidence and self-esteem.” Stefanski sang and danced his way through an audition for the organization last fall in Boyne City and received a letter of acceptance in the mail just before Christmas. He is currently spending the summer in the Catskill Mountains in Hancock, N.Y., at the French Woods Festival for the Performing Arts, where he is a dance faculty member teaching students age 6 through 19. Next month, he will travel to the Young Americans’ College for the Performing Arts near Anaheim, Calif. for an intensive twoyear program. He will join a class of 80 to 100 other enthusiastic members who come from all over the world. “The first year I will be going into a performing arts accelerated program with emphasis on dancing, acting and outreach,” he said. Through an academic affiliation with North Central Michigan College, Stefanski will earn an associate’s degree. He must complete one year of classes before he is eligible to audition for the touring ensemble. “The student members are never paid,” Stefanski said. “Our participation is intended to be educational.” As a first-year Young American, he looks forward to performing in the “New Kids Showcase,” the Christmas Show and a 24-hour Broadway show. Stefanski is certainly no stranger to the stage. He began dance classes at age 4. At 9 he was part of the cast of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” at a community theater production in Rochester. He has an impressive resume that includes the lead role in “Suessical the Musical” presented by Stagecrafters Community Theater in Royal Oak, performances in “Tosca” with the Michigan Opera Theater in Detroit, and participation in numerous dance competitions. Stefanski was president of the drama club at Gaylord High School and in 2009, played in “Footloose.” In 2010, he was the lovable scarecrow in Gaylord Com-

munity Productions’ “Wizard of Oz,” and last summer organized “Stars in the Making,” a performing arts day camp, and his own production company, Alpine Theater Works. For the last two years, he has been a dance instructor at Studio U in Gaylord. Stefanski credited his late grandmother for igniting his passion for performing. “She bought me tickets to shows, she took me to shows, she pushed me to never give up,” he said. “She kept the magic alive in me.” Stefanski also acknowleged his voice teacher Sharon Wyrembelski, a well-known music and theater teacher who taught at St. Mary Cathedral School for 37 years. The Young Americans visit St. Mary regularly. “He has a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of desire,” Wyrembelski said. “With his vocal and dance ability he will do very well in the Young Americans.” Wyrembelski said Stefanski joins the ranks of several of her talented students who performed with the group and went on to have successful careers in the arts. The Young Americans philosophy appeals to Stefanski’s desire connect with a wide variety of audiences through high-energy and motivational performances. “The Young Americans are truly dedicated to promoting goodwill and cultural interaction,” he said. “There’s no negativity. They boost people up. They try to uplift people through all different types of music — to show that music is a universal language.” The Young Americans will perform at noon July 16 on the Alpenfest stage. The Young Americans summer dinner theater is now playing at Boyne Highlands, call (231) 5263152 for reservations. The Young Americans organization also presents a workshop and performance at St. Mary Cathedral School every three years.

The Fizz Boom Read! summer reading program has been a hit, according to library executive director Maureen Derenzy, because it has provided children with so many hands-on opportunities. “We consciously decided to make a change this year,” she said. “The kids get to do something instead of watching somebody do something.”

Art Van Furniture opens Gaylord franchise Jil Mazzenga Special to the Herald Times GAYLORD — Step into a showroom chock-full of furniture for the entire house at Art Van Furniture, which opened in Gaylord May 24 by Bruce and Julie Dietz. Bruce Dietz has been in the furniture business in Alpena for 30 years. When the franchise became available in Gaylord, they sold their business and bought here. And the response has been positive. “Everyone in the community who comes in has thanked us for coming in — for believing in this community — so they don’t have to drive out of town,” Dietz said. The ribbon cutting was held June 24 and business has been great. “Coming out of the gate, business was better than we expected and we’re already planning on an addition,” Dietz said. “Corporate came up here to congratulate everyone.” The support came from the entire community. “It was overwhelming the support we got from the chamber of commerce right down to the township government,” Dietz said. “When they found out we

Aspen Ridge featured in national publication

• A community event held at Aspen Ridge Retirement Village was recently featured in the September issue of Creative Forecasting, a national activity director’s monthly publication. Each year, Creative Forecasting conducts a contest to showcase activities at assisted living homes, and winning entries are printed to be shared with other activity professionals. After being selected as a winner over the past two years, Christy Payne, life enrichment coordinator at Aspen Ridge, submitted the “Tea with Tots Day at the Zoo” idea, a continuation of her prior winning entries. The event with a zoo-themed twist is being included in the September 2014 issue. “It’s an honor to be featured in a magazine that specializes in activity programs. There are many times I read an article and decide to try out something I’ve never done before. It’s gratifying to think other homes might be holding their own Tea with Tots and finding as much enjoyment in it as we do,” Payne said. Free of charge and open to the public, Tea with Tots is held each March. Children who are not yet old enough to attend school, along with parents, day care providers and other members of the community join together at Aspen Ridge for fun and games. Events include face painting, a bunny petting zoo, free 10-minute chair massages for the adults and a door prize drawing. Located at 1261 Village Parkway in Gaylord, Aspen Ridge Retirement Village is an assisted living facility that also offers a secured memory care unit. For more information on activities, community events, volunteering opportunities, or to be added to the mailing list for special events such as Tea with Tots, contact Payne at (989) 705-2500 or aspenridgelec@rlmgmt.com.

Originally developed for burn patients, Pure Sleep takes away the guessing on the support level needed by targeting pressure points, she reported. “And you have the ability to choose your comfort level,” Miller said. “So everybody has the ability to get the support and comfort they need.” They also offer dual beds for the couple who prefer a different level of comfort. Miller concurred that the response from the community has been phenomenal. “Come in and check us out,” she said. “It’s great to be part of a supportive community who are happy to have us here. We are here to stay.” Stop in and see Miller, Dietz or his son, Justin Dietz, sales manager, for a full line of furniture with financing from 50 months - zero percent to 90 days same as cash with no credit check. Art Van is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.-9 p.m., Saturday, 9 a.m.-9 p.m., and Sunday, 11 a.m.-6 p.m.

The latest scoop in Foundation (ALSF) was born when 4-year-old cancer patient Alexandra “Alex” Scott set up a front yard lemonade stand to raise funds and awareness for childhood cancer cures. Now, more than a decade later, the foundation bearing her name has become one of the nation’s leading philanthropic organizations in support of pediatric cancer research. This month, Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar franchisees, including the Gaylord location at 1379 W. Main St., will support Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for the 10th straight year. With a record $756,000 raised in 2013, and more than $4 million raised since 2005, more than 850 Applebee’s restaurants nationwide will work toward topping the $5 million mark in 2014. As part of the brand’s broader Applebee’s Serves program, participating restaurants will raise funds in support of ALSF. Fundraising efforts, which vary by restaurant, include donating a portion of each lemonade sale (all varieties) through the restaurants’ Summer Squeeze promotion to ALSF. Applebee’s guests may also have an opportunity to donate to ALSF through the purchase of a paper lemon in support of childhood cancer research. Additionally, Applebee’s restaurants will host a variety of events, including lemonade stands, golf outings, donation nights and more. Applebee’s guests are encouraged to contact their local Applebee’s restaurant for location-specific information and event details.

Let God carry your cares

ost of us have known people who were serene when everything seemed to be crashing down around them. In the most trying of circumstances, they have remained trusting and calm. Those going to comfort them have come away comforted. The secret of such peace in times of peril is to allow God to carry our cares. We will never escape cares because they are part of being alive. Every circumstance and time of life has its own peculiar set of cares, therefore we must guard against wishing our lives away looking forward to times we think will be less stressful than today. People who are struggling financially may continually have money problems on their minds, but those who have plenty of money also have cares. Surprisingly, most studies show that wealthy people have more problems with worry and depression that those with less money. How then shall we handle life’s cares? According to the Bible, we are to worry about

nothing and pray about everything. Faith and fear are opposites and as faith increases, fear decreases. I have a friend who was a prisoner of Nazi forces during World War II. While he was By Roger imprisCampbell oned, Allied bombing of that area kept increasing until the danger of being killed by friendly fire became a greater threat than surviving his imprisonment. Anxiety over this two-way jeopardy would have been unbearable but for a Bible verse he had memorized that provided him both strength and hope: “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He will sustain thee” (Psalm 55:22). I keep this faith builder on my office wall to remind me of how it helped my friend survive.

Reflections on Faith

My work has placed me with people in the most trying times of their lives. I have often been there when tears were flowing, when all the castles had tumbled, when the feared and unwanted had become reality. But I have watched many of these same people rise up after their storms and get on with faith filled living, some even seeing their former trials as learning experiences that contributed to later gains. Businessmen who appeared to be on the brink of bankruptcy have prayed and worked their way back to success. Grieving people who thought the sun would never shine for them again because of losing loved ones in death have decided to let God carry their cares and have found His grace and comfort sufficient enough to enable them to smile again. Parents who had nearly despaired over their wayward children have hung on, kept the channels of communication open, prayed in faith and now rejoice in the good things

that are happening in the lives of those they love. Women whose marriages of many years had crumbled when their husbands suddenly deserted them have been the most amazing of all in finding

strength to rebound and find purpose in living. Whatever you’re facing today, remember you don’t have to carry these burdens alone. God loves you and awaits your prayers.

He’s ready to carry your cares. Roger Campbell is an author, a broadcaster and columnist who was a pastor for 22 years. He can be reached at rcministry@ ameritech.net.

IEWS Yours & Ours

Editor: Jeremy Speer • editor@gaylordheraldtimes.com

Welcome to the world, Juliet

elcome to the world, Juliet. Welcome to your first Alpenfest. Mom will put a strange flowery crown on your head, whose name your 4-year-old sister, Isabelle, will carefully pronounce. “Blum-en-kranz,” she’ll slowly say in her ever-evolving effort at grasping language (your dad, a newspaper editor, still wrestles with mastering the written and spoken word every day). Always be proud of the traditions of your hometown. Someday you’ll probably want to leave (both your mom and dad did theirs), but there absolutely is no place like home. Welcome to the world, Juliet. Speaking of the English language — let’s have a quick discussion about your name. Your mom, you see, is an English teacher and she is passionate about the writings of a guy named William Shakespeare. “Romeo and Juliet” is arguably his most famous work and is her favorite book to teach to her young students. Thus the name “Juliet.” I already hear people calling you “Julie” or “Julia.” Don’t let them — always be proud of your name and your family. Friends are great, but they will come and go through the twists and turns of life. Family will always be by your side. Welcome to the world, Juliet. You’ll be introduced to a myriad of people on the Alpenstrasse — some might even call you “Julia” or “Julie.” Most have heard

about you and some have prayed for your safety or smiled at your big blue eyes on Facebook. You see, your parents know a lot of people — thus is the life of a newspaper editor and high school teacher in a small town. But as the Rev. Jim Mathis once said at a sermon at Gaylord Evangelical Free Church regarding his local popularity, “Everyone knows me here, but in Alba, nobody knows who I am. “ You are a popular baby right now, but as you get older, don’t do things just to remain popular. Find your niche and pursue it with all your heart. You mom and dad will be your biggest cheerleaders along the way. Welcome to the world, Juliet. At some point during Alpenfest week, your big sister will dart off with friends, either to grab some lemonade or partake in some fair rides. Don’t you worry — it won’t be long before you’re tagging along with her. Look up to your big sister. Don’t let petty disagreements get in the way of your relationship with Isabelle. It is my hope she becomes your best friend and that you are the

maid/matron of honor in each other’s weddings (by the way, dad needs to start saving up for said weddings). Welcome to the world, Juliet. Enjoy that snooze on the walk home from Alpenfest or enjoy the smile on a stranger’s face when they look your way. Enjoy days at home with mom and taking a nap on dad’s chest. Enjoy being a child — all the way up until you get your first “professional” job. I’m not going to lie to you — life isn’t always easy. It’s filled with ups and downs, with joy and sorrows. Be strong in your faith and rely on family and friends — these are the things that will steer you through the tough times. Enjoy being a child — you and your sister are making mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, grammy and papa feel like a child again.

Here’s to another 50 Alpenfests

Welcome to the world, Juliet. As you’ll see this week, you are just one in a sea of people. And that is just in Gaylord. There are lands far beyond this town we call home with people who come in all shapes and sizes. As you get older, take time to love them. Do a random act of kindness for a stranger. Really listen when someone needs to talk to you. Remember that you have two parents, a sister, four grandparents and a host of other family members who would do anything for you. Not everyone is as fortunate, and always use grace and forgiveness when dealing with others. Welcome to the world, Juliet. You are loved.

This Alpenfest is by no means about us, but as 2014 Honored Industry, we felt it important to once again say “thank you” to our community. We are certainly excited about being a part of Gaylord’s summer festival, all the way from the honors luncheon today (Tuesday) to Saturday’s grand parade. But we are even more excited about being ingrained in a community that values its people, values its newspaper and values the reasons we love Northern Michigan so much — from festivals like Alpenfest to the great outdoors. We love covering Alpenfest, just as we love covering all of the other aspects of life in Otsego County. For better or for worse, we consider ourselves as the mirror of the community and we have tried to reflect that since 1875 as the county’s oldest business. We know we are only around because of the support of our community, readers and advertisers and we appreciate their faithfulness both in the past and present. We view this award not as an award for the current Herald Times staff but one for the history of our business. Thanks again to the Alpenfest Honors Committee for selecting the Herald Times as 2014 Honored Industry. And congratulations again to Matt Barresi, der Buergermeister, Meghan Aimoe, parade marshal, and Sandy Glasby, DAR Award winner. Here’s to another 50 Alpenfests!

So you say you want news, but you watch cat videos

or a few days back in June, I couldn’t get through the day without someone asking me if we were going to publish a story about a certain wedding at Bay Harbor. Some network morning show weather personality was getting married in Emmet County and it was the talk of, well, lots of people. Stories on the wedding were all over Facebook and Twitter. I’ll never understand why people would want to read such a story, or care all that much. Sure, it’s great a well-known individual chose Northern Michigan for her nuptials, but is one wedding in Petoskey really any different than another wedding in Petoskey? Earlier this week while skimming local headlines, I saw stories on how Mario Batali, a celebrity chef, visited the National Cherry Festival in Traverse City. At least three different news outlets devoted time and energy writing stories about how Batali spent an hour at the festival (one even had a photo gallery). It’s well known that Batali has a home in the area and has done a lot to put the local

food scene on the map, but is his visit worth a story? Is it news at all? Earlier this year, Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism asked thousands of people around the world what sort of news was most important to them. Results By Rachel showed Brougham Americans would rather read international news than celebrity and “fun” news by a margin of two-to-one. Economic and political news finished even higher. But what many people say and do are two different things. Because if you were to look at the online analytics of what people actually read, the results show something much different. Instead of reading about the rising violence in Iraq,

How I see it

numbers show the most read “news stories” online are quizzes, lists and emotional tuggers. Of course there are people who are genuinely interested in hard news and don’t bother with the trending stories of the day, but despite all the hard news offered day in and day out, the most read stories continue to be those of the lighter nature. “Ask audiences what they want, and they’ll tell you vegetables. Watch them quietly, and they’ll mostly eat candy,” one news organization said of the study. No wonder we see cat video after cat video going viral on news websites. While the News-Review doesn’t tend to publish the so-called fluff, we definitely see trends with our online readers. Crime stories are almost always the most popular. And there is a running joke in the newsroom that if it’s a story about McDonald’s, a craft store opening, or if you have certain words in a headline, online page views will go through the roof. Meanwhile, the stories we work hard on and that seemingly would matter most to our readers — a

three part series on how money is being spent in Emmet County, for instance — are often glanced over. Another story about a local city admitting it violated state election campaign finance law didn’t get much traction this week either. Invasive species threatening our lakes or bad bugs killing our trees? Meh. “I want real news,” is something I hear all the time. OK then — just what is your definition of real news? There’s plenty of good, old-fashioned, hard news journalism to read each day. But if it’s cat videos, a list of “30 things you learn in your 30s” or a story about a celebrity sighting in Northern Michigan you’re looking for, you’re also in luck because those, too, exist. Just don’t call it real news. Assistant editor Rachel Brougham writes about a number of topics in this column which appears each week. She enjoys investigative journalism, well written features and the occasional list form story. Email her at rbrougham@petoskeynews. com or find her on Twitter @ RachelBrougham.

AAU background helps Borowiak standout Brandon Folsom (989) 732-1111 bfolsom@gaylordheraldtimes.com

As a four-year starting guard, she helped St. Mary win three district championships, two regional titles and appear in two state quarterfinal games while maintaining a 4.104 gradepoint average.

ANN ARBOR – oncordia University women’s basketball coach Thad Sankey was on the job fewer than three months when he traveled to Indianapolis to watch former St. Mary guard Kari Borowiak and her Michigan Elite North girls basketball team in an AAU tournament last summer. Sankey was a fresh face to the Michigan recruiting trail then. Before taking over in Ann Arbor, his experience included coaching a high school Christian academy in Oklahoma and a pair of stints as a graduate assistant for a small college in Nebraska. To familiarize himself with the basketball talent in Michigan, he became a regular spectator during the summertime AAU circuit, which included watching Borowiak, the Herald Times Female Athlete of the Year who will play for Concordia as a freshman this fall. “That was a team I wanted to make sure I sat down and watched,” Sankey said. “She’s a player we saw quite a bit on the summer circuit. She played with the Michigan Elite North team out of Mount Pleasant, and we spent a lot of time sitting at her games. “She’s one of those players we thought would be really good for us in our program. She has a great

ROCKFORD – The Gaylord 13U Little League All-Star baseball team won one game during pool play of the 2014 Michigan State Intermediate Baseball Championship held Friday through Sunday at East Rockford Middle School. After losing its first two games of the weekend, Gaylord relied on seven home runs to take down St. Clair 14-9 in a Pool A tournament game Sunday. Reserve pitcher Parker Rey led Gaylord’s effort on offense by smacking three home runs and recording four RBIs. Center fielder Blake Charboneau was 2-for-4 with two RBIs and a double, while second baseman Brandon Kowalsky, right fielder Logan Hamilton and left fielder Tanner Trenary each hit two-run home runs in the contest. “Our bats had not been going all weekend, and the pitching we saw all weekend was all stuff that we could hit,” Gaylord coach Rance Charboneau said. “We just had not played enough baseball this year, but our bats

took off in the fourth inning. We finally squared some balls up, and we got some kids to hit the ball.” Rey also controlled the mound against St. Clair. He pitched six innings, threw 96 pitches and struck out 11 batters, allowing only three walks and one hit. Matthew Wilson closed the door for Gaylord by pitching the final inning and giving up four runs. “Parker is usually our catcher

and isn’t anywhere close to being our No. 1 pitcher,” Charboneau said. “He’s never thrown over 60 pitches in a game before but threw the max for us today. “Wilson had a sore arm but said he wanted to pitch for us anyway in the seventh inning. He sucked it up and got it done to get those last three outs. We played really good defense all weekend and finally caught the ball like I knew we could

Former St. Mary guard Kari Borowiak leads the Snowbirds’ offense down the court in the semifinal game of the Class D District 121 tournament Feb. 26.

Concordia excited to recruit Borowiak Cont’d

quarterfinal games while maintaining a 4.104 grade-point average. She finished as the school’s second all-time leading scorer (1,446) and was the valedictorian of her class – all things that stood out to Sankey and his coaching staff. “We were really excited to recruit Kari,” the second-year coach remarked. “What stuck out to me initially is that she can get anywhere on the court with a basketball that she wants to go. At the same time, she is able to get around the court and get shots that she wants to get or get to the basket when she needs to. All of her teammates got the ball at the right time, too. That stood out to me right away.” Borowiak joins one of her Michigan Elite North teammates, Freeland power forward Breanne Short, as incoming freshmen on the Concordia basketball team this fall. The two will also be roommates. Before signing with Concordia, Borowiak received interest from Alma College and Hope College to play basketball. She ultimately chose Concordia because of its athletic scholar-

ships, family atmosphere and school size. “At first I was a little unsure, because I thought it would be too small of a school,” she said. “We visited once but it was during summer when no one was on campus. I went back when they actually were in session. “I liked the size of it, and it felt like a good fit for me. I watched one of the practices and their style of play fit with my play. I talked with the coach, and he seemed nice and like a coach I’d like to play for.” Concordia overlooks the banks of the Huron River and is five miles east of downtown Ann Arbor. A trendy nightlife and passion for the arts separates Ann Arbor’s culture from the culture of most Michigan towns, including Gaylord’s simpler way of living. Although the school spans just 187 acres and has fewer than 1,000 students, its closeness to University of Michigan, Eastern Michigan University and several community colleges adds to its college experience. “I think it’ll be a change going from Gaylord to Ann Ar-

bor,” Borowiak acknowledged. “When we visited, I liked the size of the school. Everyone seemed very nice and everyone knew each other. It was similar to how I felt at St. Mary. “It’ll definitely be cool having (University of Michigan) right there to be able to go to some of their games. Ann Arbor has a mall, so there’s definitely a lot more options than Gaylord has (for shopping).” Borowiak’s academic plans are undecided, but she has interest in studying education, a program the school touts on its website. According to U.S. News, Concordia ranks among some of the best schools in the publication’s Regional College Midwest Rankings. The school also offers online classes, graduate degrees and a study abroad program, amplifying Borowiak’s educational opportunities while playing basketball.

drove in one run, Charboneau was 2-for-4 with four RBIs and Wilson finished 1-for-3. Gaylord mustered eight hits in the game but left a staggering 10 runners on base, while its defense allowed the Sault Area to score eight unearned runs in the first two innings. “We made a ton of fielding errors where our infield bobbled everything that came to them,” said coach Charboneau of the unearned runs. “(Sault Area) scored on one unearned run in the first inning and seven in the second inning.” With the bases loaded in the fourth inning, Charboneau smacked a grand slam to score Gaylord’s first four runs of the day, and he scored Gaylord’s final run after a Sault Area player committed an error in right field during the sixth inning. Sault Area kept Gaylord off the base paths in the fifth inning and allowed only four runners on base in the final two innings, which hindered Gaylord’s comeback chances. “We didn’t get our bats going or even score in the Sault Area defeated first three innings,” coach Gaylord 8-5 in the first Charboneau said. “We game of the tournament, a didn’t put a threat on in Pool A game played Friday. the fifth inning but in the Rey was 4-for-4 and sixth inning, we scored to make some pretty nice plays and get a win.” Despite Charboneau nailing a solo home run to start the game, St. Clair led 2-1 after three innings. Gaylord’s fortune improved in the fourth inning after Rey hit a solo home run, and Hamilton hit a home run to left field to score Bradley Kowalsky and himself. Gaylord added five more runs in the fifth inning, including a homer by Rey to left field that brought in two runs. Four at bats later, Brandon Kowalsky homered to left field that also scored catcher James Miller. Rey hit his third home run of the game in the third inning, while Trenary hit a two-run homer to left field in the seventh inning to end Gaylord’s scoring. “Once we hit some balls out, the kids gained some confidence,” coach Charboneau said. “Hitting is contagious. When you are not hitting, no one hits. When you start hitting some, it is nice to see, and we had seven home runs from five different guys.”

We were at the bottom of the line up and momentum was starting to go into our direction, but we couldn’t flip over the direction. “In the first and third inning, we had runners on second and third (base) with only one out. We struck out each time and left runners on base all over the place. My pitchers gave up five hits and no walks in that game. You have to win those games, especially when you hit a grand slam,” Charboneau added.

RBIs, Wilson added one hit, drove in one run and scored two runs of his own, and Charboneau recorded Gaylord’s only other hit. With two runners on base in the third inning, Rey lined a shot past Northwest’s shortstop to drive in Wilson for Gaylord’s first run. Gaylord scored its final three runs in the next inning. With two runners on base, Wilson singled to left field and drove in Miller. Two at bats later, Rey doubled to left field to score Brandon Kowalsky and Wilson before Northwest retired the side.

Tournament from July 1926 in Kalamazoo and has the opportunity qualify for the Little League World Series. • The 2014 Michigan State Intermediate Baseball Championship hosted a skills competition Saturday that saw Gaylord catcher Parker Rey win a home run derby against Taylor Northwest’s Jacob Erickson. Rey whaled five home runs in the first round of the derby to advance to the semifinal. In the semifinal, Rey hit another five home runs, the same mark Erickson

recorded. Both sluggers advanced to a one-swing final where fireworks ensued. “(Erickson) was up first, and he grounded a line drive,” coach Charboneau said. “Parker batted second and bombed it to the right side of center field to win it all, and that kid from Taylor (Erickson) is the No. 1 13-year-old player in Michigan.” Three Gaylord batters participated in the derby, while a host of Gaylord players competed in the other skills competition events.

of Milford and Jennifer Arts of Lansing. The competition was CrossFit Gaylord’s first fullscale event it hosted since starting the gym last November. CrossFit Gaylord’s goal of the competition was to raise awareness for its gym, something co-owner Chad Volant said the event was successfully able to do. “A lot of people told me Saturday that ‘we come up here all of the time for vacation, and we didn’t even know Gaylord had a box

(gym), so we’ll definitely be back based on our awesome experience today,’” Volant said. Hosting the event challenged CrossFit Gaylord from a logistical standpoint alone. The gym organized stations for each participant to compete, hired volunteers to time each station and even hosted a few local vendors. “We had about 15 to 20 volunteers which was incredible,” Volant said. “Our staff did a fantastic job, because this event was

a first for them as well. We had a lot of people come from other gyms to help us judge, because we wanted to make sure the athletes got a really great experience. Our competitors knew the judges were the real deal and knew what each judge was looking for.” Volant said he is unsure when CrossFit Gaylord will host another competition to the magnitude of the one it hosted Saturday, but he did confirm that the gym wants to do it all over

again. “We would love to put something together for the fall or winter time,” Volant said. “We had such a blast doing this one, and it’s definitely worth doing again. It was no easy task, but it was such a great event. “This event went so well that everyone is going to go back and tell everyone that they know about the experience they had. I can see us hosting this event two times per year.” There are no major competitions planned for

Gaylord Herald Times

World of Wonder EXPLORING THE REALMS OF HISTORY, SCIENCE, NATURE AND TECHNOLOGY

SUNDAY, JULY 13, 2014

An unusual feature of rabbit and hare footprints is that the hind footprint precedes the front.

The difference

Hares and rabbits look a lot alike, but there are some major differences. Rabbits usually have smaller bodies, legs and ears than hares. Many rabbits dig burrows; hares do not. Most rabbits prefer to hide when threatened, while hares are built for running.The surest way to tell a rabbit from a hare is to look at the newborns. Baby rabbits are born furless and blind. Hares are born with fur, and their eyes are open. Sometimes even the common names of rabbits and hares can lead to confusion. The Belgian hare is really a rabbit, and the jackrabbit is really a hare.

What’s for dinner

Rabbits and hares are herbivores.* In the spring and summer, they graze on grasses and sometimes gardens or crops. Rabbits and hares do not hibernate or store food in the winter; they survive on buds, twigs and bark.

Leporids eat their meals twice. They have two kinds of waste pellets (droppings). Moist pellets are soft and are eaten and digested a second time. This helps the animal get all the nutrients it needs. Hard pellets are true waste and are not eaten again.

RabbiTs & haRes

Lop-eared rabbit

The March hare from alice in Wonderland, the easter bunny, bugs bunny and Peter Rabbit are just a few of the famous long-eared, fuzzy characters so popular in children’s stories. Rabbits are cute and can make great pets, but they can also spell trouble for farmers. Rabbits and hares are not rodents. They belong to the order of lagomorphs, in the Leporidae family. There are about 50 species of leporids, and half of these live in North america. Where they were not found naturally, rabbits and hares were introduced by humans. Today, leporids can be found on every continent except antarctica.

Rabbits and hares have excellent hearing and a keen sense of smell. Their strong back legs allow them to move by hopping. The eyes are located on the sides of the head, allowing them a wider view of the world.

* It has been reported that arctic hares will eat meat.

Most hares and cottontail rabbits sleep in shallow depressions called forms. The European rabbit often lives in large groups, sharing an underground burrow called a warren.

Incisors

Rabbits and hares need to chew constantly to wear down their incisors, which never stop growing. They chew with a sideways motion, not up and down.

Female hares are called jills, and males are called jacks. Baby hares are called leverets. A female rabbit is called a doe; the male is a buck. Baby rabbits are called kits, kittens or bunnies.

Rabbits develop quickly and are fully grown at 2 months.

enemies everywhere

Rabbits and hares play a vital role in natural ecosystems. Because they breed so profusely and have few defenses, they are a plentiful food source for many animals. Coyotes, foxes, bobcats, minks, weasels, snakes, hawks and owls all depend on rabbits and hares as food for survival. When natural predators are scarce, rabbit and hare populations can grow out of control. The average life span of a wild rabbit is less than a year. Humans are probably a leporidʼs greatest enemy — rabbits and hares are often hunted as agricultural pests, for sport, for food or for their soft fur. Domestic cats and dogs are also a danger. Rabbits are usually very quiet animals, but they do scream when threatened or in pain. Some rabbits warn of danger by thumping their back legs on the ground.

European hare

Rabbits and hares seem to live just about everywhere. They can be found high in the mountains, on Arctic plains, in deserts, meadows, swamps, forests and even some city parks. In North America, all wild rabbits are cottontails, but there are many kinds of wild hares. There are several species of cottontails found throughout North and South America.

The cottontail was named for its fluffy white tail that looks like a cotton ball. It makes grassy nests above ground. Arctic hare Snowshoe hare

Pika

The pika

The pika is another lagomorph. It doesn't look much like a rabbit or a hare. It looks more like a hamster, but it shares many of its cousinsʼ habits. Pikas can be found in the mountains of the northwest United States and Canada, and also in the northern regions of Russia, Asia and Europe. They make their homes in rock piles and crevices, living in large groups. Pikas are vegetarians and spend the summer collecting food for the winter.

Cottontail rabbit

The arctic hare is found in the far north. They often live in herds or colonies of 100 or more. Arctic hares change color depending on the season: brown in summer, white in winter.

The snowshoe or varying hare is found in the forests of central and southern Canada and the northern United States. Like the arctic hare, it changes color from brown to white. Unlike the arctic hare, it prefers to live alone, not in groups. It can run fast (up to 30 mph), but not far.

Blacktailed jackrabbit

Rabbits and people

Since ancient times, people all over the world have raised domestic rabbits for meat and fur. Rabbits are also bred for scientific research. Many breeds of domestic rabbit have been bred for show and for pets. The lop-eared rabbit is a popular pet breed. Rabbits make great pets. They are quiet and friendly. Wild rabbits rarely live long in captivity, so it is best to leave seemingly orphaned wild bunnies alone. More than likely, their mother is hiding nearby.

Domestic Dutch rabbit

Jackrabbits are common in the western United States. They have very long ears and legs and can move at speeds of up to 45 mph.

BOYNE CITY — A citizens group hoping to force a vote on whether the city’s water system should be fluoridated is kicking off its effort to collect petition signatures. In a news release issued Monday, the group now calling itself Citizens United for Dental Health said it has begun the effort to collect the needed 580 signatures from registered Boyne City voters to force an initiative vote on a proposed ordinance requiring city officials to add fluoride to the city’s municipal water supply. The group will also be hosting a petition signing open house at the Boyne District Library, 201 East Main St. in Boyne City in the Community Room from 4:30-8:30 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, July 21-22. According to the release, or-

ganizers will be checking the status of voter registration. “We’ve had an outpouring of support to put this on the November ballot. We need to translate this support into signatures,” said city resident and one of the founding members of the group, Carl VanDomelen. The proposed ordinance that is on the petition reads: “For the purpose of promoting public health through prevention of dental disease, the city manager is hereby directed to establish and maintain fluoride levels in the city’s waterworks system as prescribed by the State of Michigan. The city manager shall establish a testing program that accurately shows fluoride levels in the public water supply on a monthly basis and those results shall be posted on the city website within 30 days after the test results have been See FLUORIDE on PAGE A10

public safety in Glencoe — a suburban village near his native Chicago that had used the cross-trained public safety Postelnick concept since 1954. Korthauer, who had worked as an assistant village manager in Glencoe before starting his own Petoskey job in 1983, had gotten to know Postelnick as they worked together on several projects, and the two would become friends. Petoskey’s move toward the cross-trained concept came soon after the unexpected death of a fire chief, Korthauer recalled, and around the time when its then-police chief announced retirement plans. City officials believed the public safety concept would be an efficient way to deliver emergency services, the retired city manager said, although

PETOSKEY — Several who knew retired Petoskey public safety director Tom Postelnick recall that he was a supportive presence for others in both his work and personal lives. Postelnick died at age 76 Friday at his Petoskey home — following a cancer diagnosis earlier this year. “He was a consummate professional — knowledgeable and always willing to learn,” said retired Petoskey city manager George Korthauer, who enlisted Postelnick to serve as director of the new Petoskey Department of Public Safety in 1988. Postelnick had a 25-year public safety career in Illinois prior to his 10-year stint with the Petoskey police/fire/ emergency medical services agency. Immediately before the move to Michigan, he served as deputy director of

roller coasters

The oldest recorded roller coaster was built in 1904 and now stands in Lakemont Park, Penn.

Cedar Point has the highest number of roller coasters, with 17 different rides to choose from.

Richard Rodriguez holds the world record for the longest time spent on a roller coaster, a total of 401 hours.

The fastest roller coaster is the Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, N.J., which reaches speeds of 128 miles per hour.

Heart rate increase occurs in many while riding roller coasters. Researchers believe the increase is a result of psychological stress, triggered by fear of the roller coaster, as well as the G-forces acting on riders.

THE THUNDER ROLLED

As hundreds of spectators line the pier, high-powered speed boats hit the throttle as they head out of the Pine River Channel in Charlevoix Saturday morning. One hundred speed boats participated in the Boyne Thunder Poker Run that starts and ends in Boyne City, and also speeds across Lake Michigan in the race. The event is a fundraiser for Camp Quality for kids with cancer.

Study: U.S. Alzheimer’s rate seems to be down The rate of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias is falling in the United States and some other rich countries — good news about an epidemic that is still growing simply because more people are living to an old age, new studies show. An American over age 60 today has a 44 percent lower chance of developing dementia than a similar-aged person did roughly 30 years ago, the longest study of these trends in the U.S. concluded. Dementia rates also are down in Germany, a study there found. More than 5.4 million Americans and 35 million people worldwide have Alzheimer’s, the most common form of dementia. It has no cure and current drugs only temporarily ease symptoms. A drop in rates is a silver lining in the so-called silver tsunami — the expected wave of age-related health problems from an older population. Alzheimer’s will remain a major public health issue, but countries where rates are dropping may be able to lower current projections for spending and needed services, experts said. Recent studies from the Netherlands, Sweden and England have suggested a decline, and the new research extends this look to some other parts of the world.

THE UNITED STATES The federally funded Framingham study tracked new dementia cases among several thousand people 60 and older in five-year periods starting in 1978, 1989, 1996 and 2006. Compared with the first period, new cases were 22 percent lower in the second one, 38 percent lower in the third and 44 percent lower in the fourth one. The average age at which dementia was diagnosed also rose — from 80 during the first period to 85 in the last one. During that time, there were declines in smoking, heart disease and strokes, factors linked to dementia, and a rise in the number of people using blood pressure medicines and getting a high school diploma, which reduce the likelihood of developing the condition. “The results bring some hope that perhaps dementia cases might be preventable, or at least delayed” by improving health and education, said the study leader, Claudia Satizabal of Boston University.

Dallas Anderson, epidemiology chief at the National Institute on Aging, agreed. “For those who get the disease, it may come later in life, which is a good thing. Getting the disease in your 80s or 90s is a very different than getting it in your early 70s,” he said.

GERMANY Researchers from the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases say that claims data from Germany’s largest public health insurance company suggest that new cases of dementia declined significantly between 2007 and 2009 in men and women. Dementia prevalence — the proportion of people with the disease — also declined dramatically in women ages 74 to 85. There was a trend toward a smaller decline in men but the difference was so small researchers couldn’t be sure of it. The trends corresponded with fewer strokes and better treatment of high blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes, and more education, they said.

ASIA, AFRICA An updated study of dementia prevalence by Alzheimer’s Disease International in 2009 concludes that its previous estimates for the disease worldwide were too low. The group now says dementia prevalence appears to have increased from about 5 percent to about 7 percent in East Asia, and in SubSaharan African from between 2 percent and 4 percent to nearly 5 percent. The estimates were revised based on studies in China and sub-Saharan Africa, and the latest United Nations population projections.

COLOMBIA Researchers from the Universidad Icesi in Colombia used current population and other sources of information to update a 20-year-old study on dementia and determined that current projections might underestimate dementia cases by up to 50 percent. In countries where dementia appears to be declining, the rise in obesity and diabetes threatens to undo progress. “It may be that what we have now is a sweet spot,” where people with these problems are still relatively young, said Anderson, of the National Institute on Aging. “They’re not in the dementia range yet, but what’s going to happen? We know they’re all in the pipeline.”

Michigan to hear from public on fracking rules GAYLORD (AP) — Michigan officials are holding two public hearings on state hydraulic fracturing rules. The state Department of Environmental Quality will hear from Michigan residents about the drilling process known as fracking. The proposed rules released earlier this year address issues such as well location and permit application procedures. Environmental groups have urged the state to increase fracking regulations. The Michigan League of Conservation Voters says fracking poses an environmental threat to lakes and rivers because it uses large amounts of water. The first hearing is scheduled for Tuesday in Gaylord and the second is Wednesday in Lansing.

Michigan lawyer charged in solicitation of murder TRAVERSE CITY (AP) — A northern Michigan lawyer has been charged with solicitation of murder after authorities say he tried to pay a man $20,000 to kill another attorney. The Traverse City RecordEagle and MLive.com report Clarence Gomery was arrested Monday by Grand Traverse County sheriff’s deputies. He was arraigned in 86th District Court on the felony charge and is being held in the county jail on $5 million bond. A person who answered the phone at Gomery’s law office told The Associated Press there was no immediate comment on the charge. Authorities say they suspect that Gomery tried to pay a man to kill Christopher Cooke, a lawyer who represented a plaintiff who sued Gomery alleging fraud and malpractice in a business deal. The deal involved a golf course property in the area.

GAYLORD

50th anniversary of Alpenfest offers two new events LORENE PARSHALL

(989) 732-1111 - lparshall@gaylordheraldtimes.com

GAYLORD — Rain showers and chill may dampen the first couple of days of Alpenfest, but the weather will brighten progressively during the following days, according to Aaron Mayhew of the Gaylord Forecast Office of the National Weather Service. “Tuesday we’ll be in the low 60s (degrees) and Wednesday in the upper 60s,” Mayhew said. “It will reach the low 70s Thursday, slowly warming up to the upper 70s over Friday and Saturday.” Mayhew said there will be a 60 percent chance of rain on Tuesday, but by Wednesday it will be down to 40 percent and clear and sunny on the following days. A little damp and chill shoudn’t deter folks from attending Alpenfest. Patt Dobrzelewski, board president, said Alpenfest’s 50th year offers two new and dazzling events, one taking place on

the opening evening. “There will be a laser light show under the Pavilion after the Burning of the Boogg,” she said. “That’s going to be exciting. And the final night of Alpenfest will end with fireworks. We’ve never done that before. The fireworks will be set off at the (Otsego County Community) dog park, so hopefully they’ll be seen from downtown.” The laser light show (and free ice cream, as long as it lasts) will take place at 10 p.m. today (Tuesday) at the Pavilion on Court. Anyone wanting to see the fireworks display at dusk Saturday at close range can view them at 540 S. Illinois Ave., next to the dog park. Five fun-filled days are assured with the new events and such ever-popular traditions such as the Burning of the Boogg and Alpenfest Queen’s Pageant today (Tuesday) and the Grand Parade (Saturday). Costume and pet parades, contests and prizes for men,

CHARLEVOIX

women and children, clowns, jugglers, carnival and so much more will be offered during Alpenfest. Food and beverages will be available for purchase from various vendors. Free refreshments will be offered at The World’s Largest Coffee Break (Wednesday) and every day at other food events for those wearing a 2014 Alpenfest pin. Dobrzelewski, who has been board president for 10 years, has personal favorites among the Alpenfest events. “I enjoy the concerts,” she said. “The best thing is they’re free. There are four free main concerts this year and music will be going on all day long every day in the Pavilion. The Young Americans will be on the main stage Wednesday. They’re always a crowdpleaser.” Putting together a massive event such as Alpenfest is a complicated task. Dobrzelewski said all the planning for Alpenfest is done by the Alpenfest board, with each member

taking on several committees. “Tiffany Larson, the special events coordinator of the chamber, is our only paid employee on the board,” Dobrzelewski said. “She oversees Alpenfest when it’s going on, making sure everyone stays on task. When the board does their job it makes her job easier.” Other members of the board include Kay Lyn Carey-Jeakle, Susie Marshall, Mike Cwik, Kevin Wahr, Paul Beachnau, Curt Reppuhn, Ted Miller and honorary board member Gaylord Mayor John Jenkins. “What makes Alpenfest successful is the board, community volunteers and the families that attend,” Dobrzelewski said. “A lot of people return to Gaylord just to attend Alpenfest.” The 2014 Alpenfest brochure can be picked up at the Gaylord Area Chamber of Commerce, 225 W. Main St., and can be viewed at www.gaylordalpenfest.com/pdf/2012Alpenfest-Brochure.pdf.

Extra jail time given Man sentenced for for creation of fake home break-ins, thefts Facebook evidence CHARLEVOIX — A Boyne Falls man was sentenced to an additional 60 days in jail above what he would have received for stealing some stereo equipment after he tried to exonerate himself by creating a fake online message exchange. On Friday, Charlevoix County Circuit Court Judge Richard M. Pajtas sentenced James Michael Cranick, 35, to consecutive terms of 30 days in jail on a conviction for larceny in a building and 60 days in jail on a conviction for obstruction of justice. In a news release, Charlevoix County Prosecuting Attorney Allen Telgenhof said Cranick admitted going into the apartment of his ex-girlfriend and stealing car stereo equipment, which was later recovered by police. Telgenhof said on the morning of his scheduled trial in Circuit Court regarding the theft, Cranick provided his attorney with a document that appeared to be a Facebook conversation between Cranick and the victim, where she appeared to be admitting that he did not steal the speakers but that she had set him up to be charged for the crime. In light of the newly produced evidence, Telgenhof dismissed the charge against Cranick without prejudice (meaning the charges could be re-issued at a later time) to

further investigate the Facebook printout in which the month August was misspelled “Augest.” Telgenhof Cranick said a search of Facebook records indicated that no such conversation had occurred between Cranick and the victim and Telgenhof reinstated the charge of second degree home invasion, a 15-year felony, against Cranick and added a new charge of tampering with evidence, a fouryear felony, for creating the phony evidence. Cranick, who had no prior felonies, eventually pleaded guilty to the lesser larceny and obstruction of justice charges in exchange for the prosecution dismissing the more serious charges. “I believe that this was a very serious matter,” Telgenhof said. “This defendant chose to create false evidence in an attempt to fool the prosecution, the judge and jury. In doing so, he further victimized the victim by accusing her of a crime herself. “I am happy that the judge gave him consecutive sentences, because it was discretionary. This sentence makes it clear that defendants who try to subvert the legal system will be dealt with.”

CHARLEVOIX — A Charlevoix man has been sentenced to prison for breaking into his neighbors’ homes and stealing items from them. On Friday, Charlevoix County Circuit Court Judge Richard M. Pajtas sentenced Brian Kelly Hammond Jr., 24, to serve 23-60 months in prison after he pleaded guilty recently to a charge of third degree home invasion. Hammond was accused of breaking into two homes in his own neighborhood in the 100 block of West Hurlbut in Charlevoix and steeling various items from them and from a car parked in one of the driveways. As part of a plea agreement in the case, Hammond agreed to pay restitution on all matters charged, but pleaded guilty to only the one count.

Hammond was originally charged with three counts of second degree home invasion and one count of first degree home invasion. The second Hammond degree charges are felonies punishable by up to five years in prison. The first degree charge is a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison. Police said the break-ins happened in the early morning hours of April 20 when police were called to the 100 block of Hurlbut Street after a resident called 9-1-1 to a report that someone had broken into her home. Police said items reported stolen included a television, numerous bottles of liquor and beer.

CHARLEVOIX

Charlevoix man sentenced to prison for child sex assaults CHARLEVOIX —A Charlevoix man will spend at least the next 18 months in prison after he recently pleaded guilty to two crimes involving sexual assaults against two young victims. On Friday, Charlevoix County Circuit Court Judge Richard M. Pajtas sentenced Dominic Alexander Guigar-Clark, 23, to served concurrent terms of 18-60 months in prison and 13 to 24 months in prison on charges of assault with intent to commit criminal sexual conduct in the second degree and fourth degree criminal sexual conduct, respectively.

Charlevoix County Prosecuting Attorney Allen Telgenhof said the first case involved an offense that occurred in February 2013, involving the defendant, who Guigar-Clark was then 21 years old, engaging in sexual activity with a 13 year old victim. Telgenhof said the second case involved an offense that occurred in 2011, involving the defendant engaging in sexual activity with a 12-year-old victim.

wanted and expired medicine can pose a significant danger to our Northern Michigan waters, communities and families,” said Jennifer McKay, policy specialist, Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council. “By using the POD Program and properly disposing of unwanted pharmaceuticals and

drugs, residents will help us keep our rivers and drinking water clean and our communities and families safe.” Traditional methods for disposing of unused medicines — flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash — pose potential safety and health hazards and should be

avoided. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to misuse and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are increasing, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses because of these drugs. Studies show a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. Residents may also dispose of medicines throughout the year at permanent POD dropoff boxes, located at law enforcement agencies throughout Northern Michigan.

Guest commentary

The honors hero Wallenberg deserves The following guest commentary was written by Carl Levin, the senior U.S. senator from Michigan.

o honor or accolade is equal to the debt the world owes Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish diplomat who helped save thousands of Jews in Nazioccupied Hungary during World War II. But it is important for us to give whatever is within our power to give. That’s why I was proud recently to participate in ceremonies honoring Wallenberg with a Congressional Gold Medal, the highest honor Congress can bestow. Wallenberg’s life is a reminder that the values we so often take for granted are not guaranteed. The rights we hold to be universal, not just for Americans, but for all human beings — the universe does not grant them to us without cost. All of us must honor them, shelter them and protect them. They are, as our founding fathers said, inalienable — but that does not make them indestructible. If it’s true that we are all stewards of these universal rights, it is also true that the universe sometimes asks extraordinary things of some of us in order to fulfill that duty. Extraordinary things were asked of Raoul Wallenberg. Wallenberg helped shelter as many as 100,000 Jews from the Holocaust, even after repeated warnings that he was risking his life. Astonishingly, Wallenberg’s gift to our world is not

limited to the thousands he saved from Hitler’s executioners. It extends to all of us here today who must ask ourselves: If Sen. Carl this man could Levin risk so much and eventually give his own life in the defense of others, how can I shrink from my own responsibilities to my fellow man? Raoul Wallenberg’s gift is the lives he himself saved and in what he inspires us to do. It is hard to imagine that anything could intensify the tragedy of the Holocaust, and yet Wallenberg’s story does. The Nazis were driven from Hungary before they could stop his efforts. But when Soviet troops captured Budapest in 1945, they arrested Wallenberg, and he was never seen again. Soviet authorities claimed in 1957 that Wallenberg had died a decade before. And then in 1976, a prisoner released from a Soviet prison camp said that he had met a Swede, imprisoned for 30 years, but still alive. News of the report gave new hope that Wallenberg might yet be alive. Many tried to follow these and other clues to learn this hero’s fate. I was among them; I traveled to Israel and spoke with the daughter of the prisoner about his whereabouts so that I could speak to her father. But she would not provide the information because she feared retribution against her father, and with good reason: the Soviets

had already re-arrested him once after the first reports of his sighting of Wallenberg came out. She could not overcome her fear for her father. Most of us could not overcome such fear if a loved one was in jeopardy. That vignette serves, once again, to make Raoul Wallenberg’s courage in the face of fear all the more aweinspiring. It does not seem too much to ask after all this time for President Vladimir Putin and the Russian government to finally put these questions to rest. All that continued Russian stonewalling can accomplish is the infliction of continued pain on the Wallenberg family and the perpetuation of an injustice that added a tragic coda to the abomination of the Holocaust. Providing information on Raoul Wallenberg’s fate cannot lessen the horror of the Holocaust. It cannot erase the heinous crime of Wallenberg’s arrest, nor turn back the clock on the horrific acts Wallenberg fought against or those done to him. But that is no excuse for inaction. Raoul Wallenberg could not save every Jew, and he could not end the Holocaust, but he did what all of us should do: He did what he could. So should we all. And so should the Russian government, which should provide full and immediate access to all records on Wallenberg’s arrest, imprisonment and death. That simple, human decency is the very least the world owes Raoul Wallenberg.

was speaking to someone recently about the Petoskey opening of Hobby Lobby, where my artist friends could purchase supplies when a woman shouted at me “Do you know they hate women and want to take away your contraceptives?” I was taken aback by this remark as I am well over the age to worry about such matters and so was she. The absurdity of the argument hit me square in the face. I suppose using exaggeration is a form of argument, however nonsensical. For me it represents the current formal attack on Christian principles through manipulation of our language or as I said in my last column, “double speak” such as calling an embryo “tissue” or the current use of the term “War on Women” to attack pro-life groups and Republicans. The MerriamWebster dictionary states that “double speak” is a “language used to deceive usually through concealment or misrepresentation of truth; also: gobbledygook.” First of all, why would a corporation that sells art supplies and frames, hate women? Secondly, Hobby Lobby took their case to the Supreme Court to defend their right to religious freedom. The availability of contraceptives and abortifacients was never in question. They are readily available at your doctor’s office and pharmacy. The argument is about whether or not a private corporation can be forced to pay for health insurance that covers them against their religious and conscientious convictions. Even more absurd than this incident is the inclusion of a group of nuns, Little Sisters of the Poor, in the National Organization of Women’s list of “The Dirty 100” — as organizations that sued the Department of Health and Human Services in order to ask for exemptions from the health care law. Really? National Organization of Women wants these Catholic nuns, who take vows of chastity and devote their lives to acts of charity

to have free access to IUDs and Plan B? There is hardly a demand for such products among women who have chosen not to marry in Ann order to perform Carolyn charitable works, not to mention a complete waste of money to insure them for something they do not use or want. Here’s the catch 22: Churches and affiliated religious organizations do not have to comply with the Health and Human Services mandate in most circumstances, but in order to be included in this exempted group, Health and Human Services requires that they serve only their own believers. The Little Sisters provide hospice care to all impoverished dying people, regardless of religious affiliation. These nuns do not meet the criteria because they refuse to discriminate. Doesn’t it strike you as ironic (or gobbledygook) that a group that is committed to defending the rights of women, wants to deny another group of women their right to religious freedom? I find it beyond comprehension that the National Organization of Women has branded them as “dirty” when they exemplify some of the most dedicated, selfless and purest women around. Our present society is rampant with this “double speak” and illogical thinking that has turned our morals and society upside down. It’s time for all good men and women to return to rational common sense and logical decision-making. As Thomas Paine, one of the primary movers in the founding of our country stated: “Common sense will tell us, that the power which hath endeavored to subdue us, is of all others, the most improper to defend us.” Now that makes sense to me. Enough gobbledygook!

Ciao Bella! adds sister store downtown SEAN MILLER Staff Writer

PETOSKEY — With its product and service offerings expanding beyond what the original location could house, downtown Petoskey retailer Ciao Bella! has shifted some of its product lines to a second space elsewhere in the business district.

VW to build SUV in Tennessee, add 2,000 jobs NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Volkswagen plans to build a new seven-passenger SUV at its factory in Chattanooga, Tennessee, adding about 2,000 factory jobs as it tries to reverse U.S. sales that have fallen for the past two years. The German automaker announced Monday that it will invest $600 million to expand the factory and set up a new research center that will employ about 200 engineers. The research facility will coordinate products for North America to quickly include customer feedback into planned and existing models, the company said. The announcement comes after months of political wrangling over the role of organized labor at the factory, which now employs about 1,500 workers and makes only one model, the Passat midsize car. Production of the new SUV, based on the CrossBlue concept vehicle unveiled in Detroit last year, is scheduled to start at the end of 2016. It gives VW an entry into an important segment of the U.S. market

SEAN MILLER/NEWS-REVIEW

— the family people hauler. VW sales fell almost 7 percent last year and are down more than 13 percent so far this year, largely because the company doesn’t have competitive products in key market segments. VW had a big year in 2012, with sales rising 35 percent to more than 438,000. But sales fell to about 408,000 last year, and the brand sold only 179,000 through June this year. “The Volkswagen brand is going on the attack again in America,” Martin Winterkorn, chairman of Volkswagen AG’s management board, said in a statement, repeating the goal of selling 800,000 Volkswagen brand vehicles in the U.S. by 2018. Michael Horn, VW’s CEO in America, said sevenpassenger, three-row SUV sales in the U.S. have almost doubled since 2009 to 1.4 million per year. He also said the new engineering center will broaden VW’s portfolio with more new products. The company plans to add about 538,000 square feet to the existing factory to build the new SUV.

Drake has contributed time to many area organizations. She was president of the Cheboygan Area Jaycees, serves on the Cheboygan Area Schools Advisory Committee and is the past president of Cheboygan County Habitat for Humanity. She and her husband, Matt, call Cheboygan home and have recently become parents to daughter Lily. Lindsey K. Miller began her career with Citizens National Bank in 2013 as the branch manager of its south branch location and has been promoted to

banking officer and branch manager. She is a 2007 graduate of Michigan State University, where she earned her Bachelors of Science in ReMiller tailing. Miller is from Portland, Mich., but has been a Cheboygan resident since 2007. She is an active member of the Cheboygan Area Jaycees and is the treasurer for Cheboygan County United Way.

Death of Michigan referee raises medical questions MIKE HOUSEHOLDER Associated Press

LIVONIA — A wellrespected veteran soccer referee’s life was cut short by a punch delivered during a Detroit-area men’s league game. John Bieniewicz, 44, died on July 1, two days after a player struck him at a community park in Livonia. Baseel Abdul-Amir Saad is charged with second-degree murder, a charge that carries a penalty of up to life in prison. Saad, a 36-year-old auto mechanic and father of two daughters, had no prior criminal history. Bieniewicz, married with two young sons, was a soccer enthusiast who had refereed games for years. The circumstances seem unusual, but someone dying from a single blow — dubbed a “one-punch homicide” by a documentary filmmaker — is not without precedent. Here are some questions and answers about the phenomenon.

Q: What happened in this case? A: Bieniewicz reached into his pocket and was pulling out a red card when the player he intended to eject punched him,

according to witnesses, including Scott Herkes, who plays for and manages the Metro Rangers, one of the teams playing. Herkes said Bieniewicz fell to the ground and was attended to by a player on the opposing team who had medical training. He later was declared dead at a hospital. During Saad’s arraignment in Livonia District Court on Thursday, assistant county prosecutor Raj Prasad said the final medical examiner’s report would not be completed for two weeks. But the initial finding announced July 3 was that Bieniewicz’s death was the result of blunt force trauma to the neck.

Q: How can a single punch inflict so much damage? A: Because of the head’s physical makeup, said Dr. Howie Zheng, a neurologist at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore. The brain is in a closed space and there is little room for expansion within the skull, making it susceptible to intracranial bleeding, brain swelling, hydrocephalus (excess fluid on the brain) and herniation, Zheng said. A fist traveling upward at 25 mph and delivering a force of hun-

dreds of pounds, Zheng said, could “result in severe and potentially fatal consequences — even with one blow.” Unexpected blows also can be fatal, said Dr. David Fowler, Maryland’s chief medical examiner. One-punch killings can occur when victims “take an impact that they were not expecting or haven’t steeled themselves for,” he said.

Q: How often does something like this happen? A: Not very, said Fowler, who has seen more fatal cases in which the victim is punched once and then suffers a second blow as a result of going down. “An unprotected fall ... is potentially very dangerous,” said Fowler, citing the twisting of the head as it strikes the ground. People die after receiving a single blow “with far greater frequency than most people would imagine,” said Steve Kokette, a Madison, Wisconsin-based documentary filmmaker whose “One Punch Homicide” came out this year. Kokette read about two such incidents that happened near his hometown five years ago. “I thought it might make a great documentary and decided to

go online and see if I could find other one-punch homicides. In no time I found 20 such incidents. Now I’ve found over 300,” he said.

Q: What is the result? A: Pain for all involved. A funeral service for Bieniewicz was held Thursday in front of a “packed house” of mourners in Redford Township, Michigan, said Jim Acho, a friend and former high school classmate. An hour earlier, family and friends filed in to see Saad make an initial appearance in his murder case. Saad has “substantial family support as evidenced by” the many people in the gallery, defense lawyer Ali Hammoud told Judge Kathleen McCann in arguing for a lower bond. McCann called the case “a horrendous tragedy.” These situations can be avoided, said Dr. Jennifer Pilgrim, a forensic pharmacologist and toxicologist at Australia’s Monash University who has studied the impact of drugs and alcohol in sudden, unexpected deaths. “Violence is never the answer. A single punch can kill in any circumstance — we know this, it has been well-publicized,” she said. “It is no longer an excuse for an individual to say that they didn’t know a single punch could kill.”

Schools a haven for many unaccompanied minors KIMBERLY HEFLING Associated Press

JUAN A. LOZANO Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Va. — For tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors crossing the U.S. border primarily from Central

America, U.S. schools are one of the few government institutions where they are guaranteed services. While their cases are processed, most are released to family members or sponsors who are told the children must be enrolled in school.

School districts in metropolitan areas like Miami, Houston and Washington have seen an uptick in the number of these students and anticipate more could enroll this fall. They often need special resources like English language and mental health

services already strained by budget cuts. Many are at risk for dropping out. Last May, federal officials reminded districts that a 1982 Supreme Court ruling gives all children the right to enroll in school, regardless of immigration status.

Cousin feels relatives are controlled by materialism Dear Annie: Every year, my grandmother and I go to my cousins’ house for Christmas. This year is different for me. I have had the miracle of God helping me overcome some major addictions in my life. I’ve expressed to my uncle that I do not feel like I know who my cousins are now that we are adults and have lost touch to some extent. There are also economic differences. My income is near the poverty level, and I receive government assistance. My cousins, however, are financially successful. I have made attempts to meet with them, but it never happens. They are not into religion, and I believe they are controlled by materialism. (My aunt and uncle give me cash for Christmas.) I also notice that they do not open presents in front of us. I feel like a stranger who just shows up for a free meal and to get “paid.” I think that going there cheapens the importance that this day has for me. I would rather go where they feed the homeless and be an example unto them. — Trying To Keep my Dignity Dear Trying: While we agree that the holiday season includes rampant materialism, you are being awfully harsh in your judgment of the relatives. The meal and exchanging of gifts is traditional in most families. Not opening presents is sometimes a way to avoid embarrassing someone whose gift may not be as fancy as someone else’s. Giving cash is a way of providing a gift when you aren’t sure what the other person likes and you want to please them. These are all kind and thoughtful gestures, and we aren’t sure why you don’t harbor more charitable thoughts toward your family. However, if going to your cousins’ makes you miserable and you would rather spend the holiday feeding the homeless, we certainly wouldn’t try to dissuade you. We wish more people would lend a hand to those in need. Dear Annie: My grandson and his family live in another state. His daughter, “Mary,” is having her first birthday soon, and since it is not possible for me to be there in person, I went online to the websites of two

major stores and ordered gifts from each store and Annie’s had them Mailbox delivered. I let them know the packages were on the way. When the packages were received, they called and said the gifts arrived and added, “Thank you for the presents.” I realize that I am lucky to have gotten that much acknowledgement. But since I went to the trouble of picking out things I thought Mary would like, it is too much to ask that they at least tell me what they think? Could they not have said, “She loved playing with the toys,” or “The dress was so cute”? Am I expecting too much? I could have gotten the same response with less effort if I had just sent a gift card. — Picky Grandma Dear Picky: A proper thank-you includes specific comments about the gift, even if just to say how thoughtful it was. And if you are comfortable asking, you can inquire whether Mary liked the toys and dress. But, sorry to say, we suspect a gift card would please her parents just as much. Dear Annie: I have a suggestion for “Thought I Was Part of a Large Family,” who feels distant from her siblings: Go to the reunion with a different focus. Take along family group sheets, which you can get at your local library or through Ancestry.com. Distribute one to each family to fill out, and have them return the sheets to you during the reunion. That way, if you never go to another reunion, you still will have a lot of family information. Be sure they add their email addresses. This could bring the family closer together. It is a beginning, not an ending. — Retired Genealogist

Poetry has room for everything and everybody, for every subject and object. Here’s a poem by Sharon Chmielarz, a Minnesota poet, on a subject I’ve never seen written about. And poetry, and American Life in Poetry in particular, now welcomes pillow cleaners!

The Pillow Cleaners Come to Town

and turn the senior citizen center into an automated assembly line. Goodbye, dross of long winter nights. Farewell, old skin cells and reek: what couldn’t come clean on a clothesline. Bundles of pillows, caroming, bouncing, sloshing along, even as more mistresses of pillows hurry through the door, hugging stained sacks of feathers like thoughts kept well past prime. Sure, they should’ve been thrown out long ago but—we paid so dearly for them.

CHARLEVOIX

Chicago Club scholarships support Camp McSauba CHARLEVOIX — The sound of happy campers can be heard at Camp McSauba again this summer, and camp activities are in full swing. Many of the campers enjoying a lot of supervised fun are benefitting from the support of the members of the Chicago Club, who have once again provided scholarships that help youngsters attend camp. Utilizing a fund they established at the Charlevoix County Community Foundation more than a dozen years ago, the members of the Chicago Club have consistently supported projects that benefit Charlevoix’s young people. Through the fund, the Chicago Club members have provided more than $115,000 in supplemental resources to help struggling families with medical and dental needs, get youngsters enrolled in swimming lessons, provide access to a school nurse, camp scholarships and much more. “The Chicago Club is such an important resource in Charlevoix,” said Maureen Radke, program officer at the community foundation, adding, “the club is so generous in their support of programs and projects that make such a positive impact on young people.” The Camp McSauba scholarships are an extension of the Chicago Club’s desire to continue to support enrichment activities for Charlevoix youth, and this year’s grant will allow more than 20 campers to enjoy a week at camp that their families may otherwise have been unable to afford. “Camp McSauba has been a great community asset since 1975, and now we’re hosting many second generation campers,” said Linda Amstutz, director of Camp McSauba. “Each week has a different

Camp McSauba’s daily activities include small and large group games, arts and crafts, b.b. gunnery, archery and field sports. A trip to the beach is included every day, too. Each camp session runs five days, with a sleepover on Thursday night, and an awards ceremony for campers, parents, grandparents and friends each Friday morning. “We know how important Camp McSauba is to each camper,” Amstutz said.

“They make lifetime friends here, and we’re so fortunate to have such good community partners in the Chicago Club and the Charlevoix County Community Foundation.” The Chicago Club was established in 1880, and today, many of the original families continue to maintain cottages in the association. Although most members are summer residents of Charlevoix, the club has a long history of generously supporting local causes. “The Chicago Club continues to make a difference in Charlevoix,” says Chip Hansen, president of the community foundation. “Their support of youth projects makes it possible for young people

to get the help they need and participate in activities that they enjoy.” The Chicago Club’s Fund is among the 258 funds held by the Charlevoix County Community Foundation, each one designated to support a specific cause or address general needs in education, the environment, arts and culture, health, civic projects, youth and recreation.

2016 SPIN METER:

5 things to know not to believe CALVIN WOODWARD Associated Press

WASHINGTON — It’s considered bad form for politicians to say things that are not true. When they talk about their own ambitions, though, deception pretty much comes with the territory and no one seems to mind. People who are patently feeling out their presidential prospects claim not to be even thinking about that, when you know they’ve got to be humming “Hail to the Chief” in the shower. They say they don’t pay attention to polls — ha! They suggest their families will drive their decision whether to run, setting up a dramatic tension that is more fiction than fact. As the 2016 presidential campaign field begins to take shape, here are five things to know not to believe when you hear them:

THE SIT-DOWN Over Christmas 2010, Mitt Romney’s big family gathered ‘round and cast ballots on whether he should run again for the Republican nomination. The vote was 10-2 against, with Romney himself voting no.

The voters had spoken. But Romney ran. The lesson: On this question, family matters, not so much. In the lead-up to 2016, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has made much of his wife, Kelley, being a hard sell. “There’s two votes in my family,” he said when asked in December about running. “My wife has both of them, and both of them are ‘no’ votes right now. ... I’ll tell you in a year whether I’m able to persuade my wife.” Reserved but politically savvy, Kelley Paul has stood in for him at campaign events and worked for a Republican consulting firm. Among other Republicans, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin says he’ll have the big talk with his wife, Janna, in 2015. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and his wife, Supriya, are praying and talking about it now, the governor says. Jeb Bush already heard his mother, Barbara, tell everyone “we’ve had enough Bushes” in the White House. But the former Florida governor said he’s in his 60s and doesn’t have to do everything his mom says. “I’m trying to avoid the family conversation,” he said. Running for president

is a heavyweight (and intoxicating) decision that gives some families pause. But pinning the matter on the spouse and kids is generally part of a broader effort to put off answers and decisions until it’s time to commit one way or the other.

THE DODGE “My focus is entirely on working for Texans in the U.S. Senate.” When Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, made this declaration, his feet were planted in South Carolina, a big presidential primary state. To be sure, South Carolina was a bit off his path. He’s more apt to be found in Iowa, an even bigger state in presidential politics. Cruz has been seen more often in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina than in the volatile border region of his own state since he won election as a senator in 2012. (Cruz cheekily tweeted Google Map directions to the border to help President Barack Obama find it, but the senator hasn’t been closer than 150 miles to the border himself since the child-migrant crisis began.) Almost to a man and a woman, the people most being talked about as presidential candidates

are building campaigntype travel schedules, meeting strategists and donors and doing most things they need to do to get ready, like writing memoirs. They’re also being coy about what they’re up to, although a little less so as time goes on. Hillary Rodham Clinton went from “no plans” to run to “stay tuned” to “I’m running — around the park” to statements making clear she’s considering it and will decide by the end of the year.

THE DOWNPLAY Gov. Chris Christie, RN.J., says the bridge scandal that’s been dogging him will be “a footnote” by 2016. He’s feeling done with it. Gov. Scott Walker, RWis., says an investigation by prosecutors into whether he and aides conducted illegal political activities in 2011 and 2012 is “old news” and “case closed.” Public figures can’t wish these things away. They can write their memoirs and their epitaphs, but not history. When scandal happens, they hold the reins of a runaway horse that will stop only when it’s good and tired. Others (voters, for ex-

ample) ultimately will decide whether the bridge kerfuffle becomes a footnote to Christie’s story or the headline, and whether Walker’s distraction is rehash or revelation. When lawmakers pressed Clinton on motivations of the killers who attacked the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, she shot back: “What difference at this point does it make?” That, too, is a question neither she nor her GOP critics can answer.

WHAT POLLS? Cliches abound here. You may have heard this one — the only poll that matters is the one on Election Day. It’s too soon for that, but not for this: I don’t listen to polls. “Polls are everywhere all the time,” Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said in May. “I don’t really pay a lot of attention to them.” That’s what people say when they’re lagging in polls. To be sure, horserace polls this far from the contest in November 2016 are mostly worth ignoring. As Rubio pointed out, there’s a whole campaign to be waged first. But polls, like money, are the mother’s milk of politics. They drive fundraising,

messaging and all-important perceptions of momentum. Rubio doesn’t blow off polling. His leadership PAC Reclaim America, organized to elect more conservatives, paid the polling firm North Star Opinion Research $136,546 in the 2014 election cycle as of mid-May.

VEEP CREEP Democrat Al Gore called the vice presidency a “political dead end” in one campaign, then signed on for it the next campaign. Republican Nelson Rockefeller said he refused offers to be such “standby equipment,” then became that for President Gerald Ford. George H.W. Bush said “I’m not leaving the door open” to becoming the running mate to his GOP rival, Ronald Reagan, then did. This disdain for being No. 2 is bound to arise when the primaries are underway and people start losing for real. For a struggling candidate, acknowledging any interest in being someone’s running mate can be the kiss of death until it’s obvious the campaign is dying anyway. Then the vice presidency doesn’t sound so bad.

US jails struggle with role What the military did while as makeshift asylums Benghazi post burned ADAM GELLER AP National Writer

CHICAGO — Peering through the chain link of a holding pen at the Cook County Jail, a man wrapped in a navy varsity jacket leans toward clinical social worker Elli Petacque Montgomery, his bulging eyes a clue that something’s not right. “They say I got bipolar, that’s all,” he says. “OK, are you taking your meds?” she asks. “When I can get them,” he answers. “I’m down here every day,” Montgomery says. “Every morning I hear this.” The Chicago jail and many of its 3,300 counterparts across the country have become treatment centers of last resort for people with serious mental illnesses, most arrested for non-violent crimes. And like other jails, it is awash in a tide of booking and releases that make it particularly unsuited for the task. U.S. jails, most of whose 731,000 inmates are trying to make bail or awaiting trial, hold roughly half the number in prisons. But last year, jails booked in 11.7 million people — 19 times the number of new prison inmates. The revolving door complicates the task of screening for mental illness, managing medications, providing care and ensuring inmate safety. “Jails are churning people,” says Henry J. Steadman, a consultant to government agencies on how courts and correctional facilities deal with people with mental illnesses. Experts have pointed to rising numbers of inmates with mental illnesses since the 1970s, after states began closing psychiatric hospitals without following through on promises to create and sustain comprehensive community treatment programs. But as the number of those with serious mental illnesses surpasses 20 percent in some jails, many have struggled to keep up, sometimes putting inmates in jeopardy. The Associated Press has reported that at least

“Even what we had when I started doing this work in 1988 was better than what we have now.” Nancy Koenigsberg, legal director for Disability Rights New Mexico

nine of the 11 suicides in New York City jails over the past five years came after operators failed to follow safeguards designed to prevent self-harm by inmates. The AP’s investigation into the deaths of two mentally ill inmates at the city’s Rikers Island complex — one who essentially baked to death in a 101-degree cell in February and the other who sexually mutilated himself last fall — have prompted promises of reform. Federal law protects the rights of people in jails and other institutions. But in temporary holding facilities, dealing with serious, long-term mental illnesses requires operators to rethink what they do, Cook County Sheriff Thomas J. Dart says. “You’re given a court order by a judge to hold this person in the jail until you’re told not to,” Dart says. “You’re not supposed to do anything other than feed him, give them a bed, make sure they don’t harm anyone else or themselves. ... You’re not in there trying to cure people.” Many jails are dealing with similar dynamics, with sometimes disturbing results. —In June, federal officials cited “deplorable” conditions for mentally ill inmates in the Los Angeles County jails as partly to blame for 15 suicides in 30 months. The L.A. system, the country’s largest with 19,000 inmates, has been under federal supervision since 2002, but still fails to adequately supervise inmates “with c le a r ly d e m o n s t r a t e d needs,” the Justice Department concluded. —In Pensacola, Florida, Justice officials last year issued a scathing report about conditions

at the Escambia County Jail. Records showed many inmates who requested care were never seen by a mental health professional. When inmates refused to take medications, the jail merely removed them from its list of those with a mental illness. —In Columbus, Nebraska — seat of a county of 33,000 — six Platte County Detention Center inmates attempted suicide early this year, as many as in the previous 10 years combined. Jon Zavadil, the recently retired sheriff, says about 80 percent of all inmates medicated for some type of mental illness. “Every county jail in the state has the same problem,” says Zavadil, who blames Nebraska lawmakers for voting to close two of the state’s three public psychiatric hospitals over the past decade. Researchers long warned mental illness was being “criminalized,” as police arrested more people for low-level offenses. In the 1980s, researchers found about 6 percent of inmates showed signs of serious mental illness. A survey published in 2009 found 17 percent of jail inmates with serious mental illnesses. Individual jails report far greater numbers. Today, many of those jailed with mental illnesses have grown up in a system full of holes. “Even what we had when I started doing this work in 1988 was better than what we have now,” says Nancy Koenigsberg, legal director for Disability Rights New Mexico, which helped bring suit against her state’s Dona Ana County Detention Center in 2010 for mistreating mentally ill inmates. But while the jail has since increased its mental health staff, New Mexico cities and counties have continued closing drop-in centers and other programs to that help maintain treatment. Many people wind up repeatedly picked up for relatively minor crimes.

CONNIE CASS Associated Press

WASHINGTON — One by one, behind closed doors, military officers explained what they did and didn’t do the night the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, burned. Together their 30 hours of testimony to congressional investigators gives the fullest account yet of the military’s response to the surprise attacks that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans the night of Sept. 11, 2012, and early the next morning. Transcripts of the interviews, with some names and classified information blacked out, were released Wednesday The nine officers, including retired Gen. Carter Ham, then the head of the military’s U.S. Africa Command, described making on-thefly decisions with only sparse information about the crisis unfolding at a diplomatic post and the nearby CIA compound. None of them was in Benghazi. The closest? Some were 600 miles away in Tripoli, the Libyan capital; others gave orders from command headquarters in Germany or Washington. They did not witness what went on in the White House or at the State Department. ExSecretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and others have testified about Benghazi. More hearings are coming. The nine officers shed light on the nature of the attacks; speculation that the military was ordered to “stand down” from helping Americans; suggestions that the U.S. should have rushed jets or a special operations team to Benghazi; and early misperceptions that the attack began as a protest over an anti-Islam video. Some lingering questions about the Benghazi attacks and what the officers told the House Armed Services Committee and the House Over-

sight and Government Reform Committee this year: DID MILITARY LEADERS INITIALLY BELIEVE THE TROUBLE RESULTED FROM A STREET PROTEST? Some heard that, some didn’t; nothing was clear about events on the ground at first. One of the earliest reports came from Ambassador Chris Stevens, who told his deputy in a phone call cut short: “We’re under attack.” “We started calling it an attack from inception,” said Army Lt. Col. S.E. Gibson, who was at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli. “We never referred to it as anything else.” Another military official in Tripoli, whose name was withheld, said he wasn’t sure how to interpret that word — “attack” — at first. He had heard about protesters who scaled the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo earlier that night. “It could be, you know, vandals are attacking,” he said. Retired Vice Adm. Charles “Joe” Leidig Jr., deputy commander of AFRICOM, said he was awoken in the night at his headquarters in Germany with word that “there had been protesters, and they had overrun the facility in Benghazi.” But Ham, who was alerted while visiting the Pentagon, said he heard no mention of protesters. So he’s sure he didn’t pass on anything like that when he informed Panetta and Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, of the attack. Dempsey and Panetta personally took word to President Barack Obama at the White House. Speaking for the Obama administration, thenU.N. Ambassador Susan Rice appeared on Sunday talk shows five days later and suggested the attacks were born from regional protests against an anti-Islamic video. The administration later recanted that position but never thoroughly articulated what they believe happened. Republicans

say Obama soft-pedaled a terrorist attack to protect his re-election. Over the two days when the attacks were occurring, there was “very, very little discussion that I can recall about why did this happen.” Ham said. “There just wasn’t time for that, frankly.” WAS A FOUR-MAN TEAM HEADED FOR BENGHAZI ORDERED TO STAND DOWN? Technically, no, the team was not ordered, as some have asserted, to stand by as militants attacked Americans 600 miles away. But they were told not to go to Benghazi and instead to stay and protect personnel in Tripoli. In hindsight, the attacks were over by then, anyway. The special operations officer leading that team and the commander who gave him the order both told investigators that it was the right decision. The team, led by Gibson, was in Tripoli to help train Libyan special forces. When the Benghazi attack began, Gibson’s first duty was to protect the embassy in Tripoli amid fears that it also would be targeted. He helped evacuate the staff to a classified, moresecure location. Once he felt they were safe on the morning of Sept. 12, Gibson was ready to rush to Benghazi to help. One Libyan plane carrying a six-man U.S. security team already had taken off. Gibson wanted his group on the second chartered flight. He called the special operations command center for Africa to say they were heading to the airport. He was told, “Don’t go. Don’t get on that plane.” “Initially, I was angry,” he recalled. “Because a tactical commander doesn’t like to have those decisions taken away from him. But then once I digested it a little bit, then I realized, OK, maybe there was something going on. Maybe I’m needed here for something else.” Rear Adm. Brian Losey, who gave the order, said he needed Gibson’s team in Tripoli in case trouble started there.

A10 LAWSUIT FROM A1 Christina Eanes, a former social studies teacher at Northwest Academy, said she still believes the trustees violated the law leading up to, during and following the Feb. 12 public meeting when she was fired. Eanes was one of 16 plaintiffs named in the lawsuit. She said the group didn’t have the money to hire an attorney and the plaintiffs represented themselves in court. “There’s no question for me that the law was broken,” Eanes said. “We just didn’t know enough about the procedure to push things through.” Eanes was fired about a week after an on-campus incident where a school employee said he witnessed the teacher hug and kiss on the cheek a 17-yearold male student. From the start, Eanes said her actions were innocent and not sexual in nature. She believes board members initiated a police investigation and later voted to fire her in retaliation for complaints she made in early 2013 about the school’s administrator and board policies. The day after board members voted to terminate Eanes’ employment, students staged a walk-out and boycotted school for the day to protest the decision. Doug Hoover, a co-plaintiff in the lawsuit and parent of a former Northwest Academy student, said he wasn’t concerned about the teacher’s actions. Rather, it was how the school board handled Eanes’ firing that disturbed him, he said. “It baffles me,” Hoover said. “It’s obvious they talked about it, it’s obvious they knew they were doing something they shouldn’t. They made plans to skirt around (the law).” Hoover said he’s not giving up the fight. “As far as I’m concerned the school board still broke the law, they just got away with it,” Hoover said. “To me, it’s a clear case and they need to be held accountable.” The lawsuit specifically alleged that the board unlawfully chose to vote on Eanes’ termination in a closed-door session, even though she asked that the decision be made publicly in an open meeting. State law allows for a public body to meet in closed session to consider dismissal, suspension or disciplining of personnel only if the named employee requests a closed hearing. Eanes claims she did not ask to close the meeting to the public and that she was not allowed in the hearing. In searching for more information about the trustees’ discussion that led up to her firing, Eanes also filed several Freedom of Information Act requests to obtain email exchanges between board members sent before and after the Feb. 12 meeting. “The board’s own documents suggest there are over a dozen violations of the (Open Meetings Act) related to Eanes’ termination and multiple attempts by the board to subvert the transparency that is required by law,” the lawsuit stated. Reached by phone Monday, Northwest Academy school board president Joe Seidel declined to say anything about the allegations raised in Eanes’ lawsuit. Instead, he said board members are “looking forward to starting school in about six or seven weeks.” “As far as we’re concerned this is over,” Seidel said. “The case was dismissed by the judge.” Asked if the board has instituted any new policies related to private email exchanges between board members, Seidel said only: “We’re just looking forward to the fall.” Northwest Academy is a small K-12 public charter school in Charlevoix that opened in 1996, but financial reports show it has struggled in recent years with declining enrollment. Eanes said she openly discussed with board members changes to school policy and procedure she thought would help turn around Northwest Academy. She was eventually put in charge of a committee assigned to make those recommended changes to the trustees. In the months leading up to her firing, though, Eanes said she felt like her effort wasn’t accepted and instead board members had turned on her. After the incident with the student was reported to him, Seidel went to police and an investigation was launched. According to a police report dated Feb. 11, the school employee

who witnessed Eanes hug and kiss the student said he was “taken back in a way” and that he thought her actions were “predatory.” Eanes, though, feels she was being targeted by the school board, which she believes had been looking for a reason to fire her and get out of paying her salary for the remainder of the year. Through a series of Freedom of Information Act requests, Eanes said she obtained evidence of the board’s motive in their email correspondence. Some of the email exchanges are between two board members, others are between board members and the school’s then-administrator, Matt Saunders. Some are sent to all board members and Saunders. “I have not consulted with our legal council (sic) but I know that the ‘at will’ contract has held up to scrutiny before,” Saunders wrote in a Feb. 11 email to trustee Mick Randall. “The reality is, she is out of a job by the end of May. This incident just makes the inevitable happen faster. If we can get out of paying severance then we will be better off. If not? Oh well, the school will still be better off.” Saunders’ email was in response to a message from Randall that cited a New York Times article about new guidelines on sexual harassment in schools and ended with Randall writing: “Have you called OUR legal on this at all? I guess we can argue the knee jerk response as well as other collaborated incidences. I just have a bad feeling about this. I just want to cross the T’s and dot our I’s.” A day later and just hours before the public meeting where board members voted to terminate Eanes, Seidel wrote in an email to Saunders: “With all the players, should we gather at some set time for a pre-game conference?” Later that night after the meeting Seidel wrote Saunders again, saying: “I guess if this ever happens to me again I would get a different lawyer. I would have thought that all the stonewalling I did would have gotten more than the response he gave.” In the days that followed, board members corresponded freely by email referencing plans for “damage control.” In a Feb. 14 email sent from Seidel to the other six board members and Saunders, the board president wrote: “Can we get together carefully, or as a committee?” Seidel’s message was in response to a lengthy email from trustee Shelia Davis early that morning — the day after students protested Eanes’ firing by boycotting the school for a day. “This is totally out of control and (yesterday) being in the school was appalling,” Davis wrote. “These kids should not be allowed in any way to run this school the way it was being done (yesterday).” Eanes also obtained a Feb. 19 email from Seidel to board vice president Richard Hodgson that stated: “We need to get together in small groups and talk this out.” In another email dated March 6 from Hodgson to Seidel, the board’s vice president questions the group’s actions. “I have gone through this material several times and there really is not much for us to hang our hats on,” the email reads. “The best thing we have is her statement that she had ‘violated the student-teacher boundary’ and that this was not an isolated incident.” At the end of his message, Hodgson writes: “Make no mistake, we are deep in the weeds. We can not afford a lawsuit, nor can we afford a large loss in our student base. Both are very possible at this point. We need to calm this down and the hard line approach is not going to work.” Eanes and Hoover said they are considering their options after last week’s court ruling. One possible move is to send a formal complaint to Saginaw Valley State University, which charters Northwest Academy. At the same time, Hoover wouldn’t rule out raising the money to hire an attorney and refile the lawsuit in Charlevoix County court. “I have a real problem letting this go, nothing was accomplished,” he said. “There was nothing that supported the law, nothing has been resolved.”

POSTELNICK FROM A1 gency-services certifications — for example, attending a police academy where some students were 30 years his junior — “just to show the (Petoskey personnel) that were involved that he could do it as well as they could.” Petoskey public safety Lt. Tony Rice had been serving on the police department for a couple of years when Postelnick arrived. Rice recalled that the police and fire personnel at that time tended to be willing to give the crosstrained model a try, but there was some uncertainty among them as to whether the change would work. “Tom came in and assured us how it was going to work, put us at ease and got us through the process perfectly,” Rice said. Rice said Postelnick and Korthauer both were instrumental in setting up the department to succeed. “It works so efficiently, and (it’s) so completely up and running,” he noted. As a department leader, Rice said Postelnick ran a tight ship, but knew when to offer encouragement and could show a lighter side. With some of the public safety personnel during those years enjoying practical jokes, Rice said the director sometimes would go along. Postelnick’s wife of 46 years, Barbara, also recalls his sense of humor.

“I still can hear his laugh — I wish I had his laugh,” she said Monday. Barbara Postelnick also described her husband as a “real family man,” one that was supportive of her and willing to drop anything he was doing to help his children if they needed it. “I think all of us feel that he was just a man of outstanding character,” she said. Tom Postelnick also sought out opportunities to serve others, his wife said, although he tended not to seek recognition for doing so. An active parishioner at St. Francis Xavier Church, he served as a Salvation Army board member, volunteered at Brother Dan’s Food Pantry and took several weeks-long trips to Honduras to perform mission work. Postelnick also was elected to the Petoskey City Council in 2010, and served for two years. Bill Atkins of Petoskey, who is retired from the Michigan State Police and spent about four years as commander at the agency’s Petoskey post, got to know Postelnick while the two were working locally in law enforcement. They later served concurrently on the city council. “I lost a wonderful friend and ally in Tom,” Atkins said. Atkins said Postelnick displayed strong integrity and was a source of guidance for him when it came to law enforcement management, and

that the two tended to be on the same page when it came to matters in their career field as well as city government. “Tom will be remembered as a public servant of the highest quality,” Atkins said. “He loved his community, he loved his church and most importantly he loved his family.” Along with his wife, Postelnick is survived by a son, James T. (Syra) Postelnick, of Chicago, Ill.; a daughter, Kristan (James) Beckering, of Petoskey; two grandchildren, Marek and Payton Beckering; two siblings, Walter (Diane) Postelnick and Florence (Steven) Oprondek; and was an uncle of 21 nieces and nephews. Postelnick was preceded in death by his parents, Walter and Estelle, and by a brother and sister-in-law, Joseph and Barbara Postelnick. A funeral Mass will take place at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, July 17, at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Petoskey with the Rev. Dennis Stilwell officiating. The family will receive friends 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, July 16, at the Stone Funeral Home and again on Thursday at the church from 9:30 a.m. until the time of service. Suggested donations in Postelnick’s memory may be made to Hospice of Little Traverse Bay or a veterans charity of choice.

FLUORIDE FROM A1 obtained.” If the group can collect enough signatures in time for the question to be placed on the ballot, and if the ballot measure is approved, it would undo an action taken by the city commission in May, when it voted 3-2 to discontinue adding fluoride to the city’s water supply. The vote came amid concerns expressed by some about possible negative health effects of long-term exposure to drinking fluoridated water. Others also expressed concerns that by adding fluoride to the water system, it forces

every water customer to drink fluoridated water, taking away their choice in the matter. The decision came in the face of a chorus of dentists, doctors, and other public health officials who pointed to fluoridated drinking water not only as safe but as a major factor in preventing dental cavities, especially among children. At the time of the vote, city water/waste water superintendent Dan Meads said the city was adding hydrofluosilicic acid to the city’s water supply to bring the concentration of fluoride to 0.7 parts per million. He also noted that the

city’s water supply has a naturally-occurring level of fluoride in it, one well at 0.35 parts per million and the other at 0.15 parts per million. Under the city charter, if the group is successful in collecting enough verified signatures on the petition, the city commission would have 30 days from the meeting at which the petition is presented to either adopt the proposed ordinance or put it on the ballot. However, the deadline for proposals to be on the November ballot is Tuesday, Aug. 12.

VA cites progress on backlog; Congress disagrees MATTHEW DALY Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Department of Veterans Affairs says it has made “tremendous progress” in reducing a disability claims backlog that reached above 600,000 early last year. Members of Congress and the department’s assistant inspector general don’t believe it. Allison Hickey, the VA’s undersecretary for benefits, told Congress that at the insistence of officials from President Barack Obama on down, the benefits backlog has been whittled down to about 275,000 — a 55 percent decrease from the peak. Hickey’s claims were met with disbelief by some. Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, told her flatly that he thinks the VA’s numbers are inaccurate.

“I don’t believe anybody at the table is telling the truth from the VA,” Miller said at a contentious hearing that lasted more than five hours Monday night. “I believe you are hiding numbers.” Asked if she trusted numbers produced by VA, the agency’s assistant inspector general, Linda Halliday, said no. “I don’t want to say I trust them,” Halliday said. In a report issued earlier Monday, Halliday said that in its rush to reduce the backlog of disability claims, the VA has made benefits payments of more than $85 million to veterans who lacked adequate medical evidence that they deserve them. Without improvements, the VA could make unsupported payments to veterans totaling about $371 million over the next five years for claims of 100 percent

disability alone, Halliday said. The IG’s office also found widespread problems at VA regional offices in Philadelphia and Baltimore, including mail bins full of disability claims and associated evidence that had not been electronically scanned for three years. “Improved financial stewardship at the agency is needed,” Halliday told the House veterans panel. “More attention is critical to minimize the financial risk of making inaccurate benefit payments.” Special initiatives designed to remove older claims and speed processing of new claims are worthwhile, Halliday said, but in some cases they “have had an adverse impact on other workload areas” such as managing appeals filed by veterans and reducing overpayments to veterans.

Petoskey Minors catcher Tommy Budnick celebrates on third base after a two-run triple in the fifth inning of Petoskey’s 12-0 win over Cheboygan in their District 13 tournament game at Bates Field in Petoskey on Monday.

Petoskey Minors flex their muscle in District 13 win

Northern Lights Outfitters and ALS each earned Petoskey Women’s Softball League wins on Monday at Bayfront Park’s Ed White Field in Petoskey. In the opening game of the evening, Northern Lights downed the Stealers 9-0. McKenzie Milner led Northern Lights to the win with a dominating pitching performance, allowing just two hits and no walks over all six innings, while adding five strikeouts. Scoreless through the first two innings, Northern Lights held just a 2-0 lead heading into the fifth inning, but erupted for four runs in each the fifth and sixth. Heidi Burkhart had a triple and two runs batted in for Northern Lights, while Milner and Nicole DeLyon each had two singles. Milner also added two RBI. Also for Northern Lights, Tommie Outman had a single and two RBI, Rachel Kwiatkowski had a single and one RBI and Stacy McGeorge, Trista Cady and Maddie Milner all had singles. For the Stealers, Emily Lechowicz and Gabby Hickman each singled in the game. Kaila Schutte took the loss for the Stealers, allowing 11 hits and five walks, while striking out seven batters. In the second game of the night, ALS earned a 4-3 eight inning win over BC Tire/Lakeshore Tire.

NOAH TRISTER AP Sports Writer

Heading into Monday’s Petoskey and Cheboygan Minors division District 13 matchup, Cheboygan had scored 57 runs in two games. An intimidated Petoskey team? Not the least, as Petoskey rolled to a 12-0 win in five innings over Cheboygan at Bates Field in Petoskey. With a pair of losses to Cheboygan a year ago on their minds, Petoskey dominated their hot opponent from start to finish. “I think that six of these players returning, they didn’t forget that three game set that they had last year over in Cheboygan, winning that first game then losing two to Cheboygan,” Petoskey manager Kevin Horn said. “They remember that stuff and they’ve been working hard. It’s a credit to them. We had some fun.” The 9/10 Petoskey tournament team members, now 3-0 in their hosted tournament, will make an appearance in the semifinals round at 6 p.m. Wednesday against Sault Ste. Marie at Bates Field. Petoskey has earned shutouts in all three of their victories thus far in tournament play, beating Rogers City 10-0 on Saturday and Onaway, 13-0, on Sunday, and while their bats have been hot at the plate, pitching has brought Petoskey their wins. “Once again, three games in a row pitching was dominant, didn’t have many walks at all,” said Horn. “Hard work pays off. I’ve got kids that work hard and they deserve to be 3-0 right now.” Against Cheboygan on Monday, Nolan Spadafore earned the win for Petoskey on the mound, going four innings, while picking up four strikeouts and allowing just four hits. By the close of the first inning, Petoskey, which led off in the first for the third straight game as the away team, had racked up a 5-0 lead, with seven Petoskey batters reaching base. “Right off the get go,” added Horn. “This is three games in a row we’ve been the visitors. We enjoy that opportunity to get up and hit because we’re a good hitting team, as well. All the kids.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Kobe Bryant’s injury problems gave Jodie Meeks an opportunity. Meeks started 70 games last season, averaged a career-high 15.7 points and shot 40 percent from 3-point range for the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Detroit Pistons are hoping for more of the same after signing the 6-foot-4 guard to a $19.5 million, three-year deal. Although it was an awful season for the Lakers, Meeks took advantage of the extra playing time — and extra shots — while Bryant was limited to six games because of Achilles tendon and knee injuries. “Unfortunate for Kobe, but fortunate for me — I got to expand my game,” Meeks said. “Got a chance to run some point guard and really show people what I could do.” The Pistons probably won’t need him at the point much, but

We’ve been working hard at hitting the ball up the middle, opposite field, and it’s paying off.” Spadafore would work a 1, 2, 3 inning out of the second and once again would be rewarded with teammates crossing home. Petoskey would score two more runs in the second inning to take a 7-0 lead, then would survive a bases loaded jam in the third inning. In the fourth, Petoskey added one more run to make it a 8-0 game, then in the fifth would knock in four runs, aided by a Tommy Budnick two-run triple, that would make it a 12-0 game. “He’s been a solid hitter that comes up clutch nine times out of ten,” said Horn of his catcher, Budnick. With a 12-0 lead, Petoskey would need to hold Cheboygan to two runs or less in the inning for the mercy rule to take effect, which they’d did, without having to sacrifice a run. Budnick would lead Petoskey with a single, double and triple on the evening, Kaden Rice had two singles and Kendall Pederson, Kolton Horn, Will Haley and Spadafore all added singles.

BC and ALS sat tied at 1-1 after the first inning, but ALS would add a run in the second, then another in the fifth to make it a 3-1 game heading into the sixth.

BC would add two runs in the sixth inning to tie the game and neither club would find much of anything at the plate See SOFTBALL on PAGE B2

they were looking for help on the wing after last season’s team floundered despite an impressive front line. Only one DeMeeks troit player in 2013-14 — Kyle Singler — shot over 34 percent from 3-point range while playing major minutes. The Pistons couldn’t take advantage of big men Andre Drummond, Greg Monroe and Josh Smith because of the team’s inability to produce outside the paint. “From a skill standpoint on the perimeter, shooting was our primary focus, to the point that there really wasn’t anybody we were interested in that wasn’t a very good range shooter,” said Stan Van Gundy, Detroit’s coach and team president. “We really wanted to change that.” The Pistons also have agreed to deals with free agents Caron Butler and D.J. Augustin, according to a person familiar

with the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Sunday night because the team had not announced the deals. Those players are expected to be introduced Tuesday. Monday was all about Meeks, who was the team’s first big addition after Joe Dumars stepped down as team president this year and was replaced by Van Gundy. “We’re really excited,” Van Gundy said. “Obviously, our first signing of the offseason — as a new management group, our first signing period.” The 26-year-old Meeks also has played for Milwaukee and Philadelphia, but he set career highs last season in minutes and field-goal attempts — and the higher volume of shots didn’t cause him to become less efficient offensively. He shot a career-best 46 percent from the field. The Pistons should now have plenty of options on the perimSee MEEKS on PAGE B2

Cespedes wins again, beating Frazier in HR derby DAVE CAMPBELL AP Sports Writer

MINNEAPOLIS — Oakland’s Yoenis Cespedes became the first repeat winner of the AllStar home run derby in 15 years, powering his way past Cincinnati’s Todd Frazier by a whopping 9-1 in the final round Monday night. Ken Griffey Jr. took the title in 1998 and 1999. With a serious, determined look on his face the whole time, Cespedes finished with 28 homers. That was four fewer than last year, when he beat Washington’s Bryce Harper 9-8 in the final round. Cespedes saved his best for last, a 452-foot blast to the third deck above left field that officially measured as the longest of the night. Athletics third base coach Mike Gallego again pitched to Cespedes, who went deep 32 times in last year’s derby at Citi Field in New York. Gallego’s

arm looked nearly out of gas by the final round, which started after 10:30 p.m. local time. Cespedes topped Toronto’s Jose Bautista, and Frazier surprisingly beat Miami’s Giancarlo Stanton in the semifinals. Bautista and Stanton each earned a bye to the semifinals under the new bracketed format, which gave each player seven outs and pitted the survivors from each side in the final round. Bautista went deep 10 times in the first round, keeping the fans in the second deck above left field on their toes, and Stanton hit six. That was all, though. After a long wait for his next turn, Stanton put up a zero in the semifinals and let Frazier advance with only one. Oh, but Stanton’s six were beauties. One landed in the third deck above left field, about a half-dozen rows shy of the very top of the ballpark. Another reached the second deck above the cen-

ter field batter’s eye, a place never touched by a ball during an actual game here. Stanton has been credited with three of the 15 longest home runs in the majors this year, including the second-farthest at 484 feet. Bautista, the AL captain, has 11 home runs in 14 regular-season games here, the most by any visiting player. That’s only one less than Twins cornerstone Joe Mauer, who has played 284 career games at Target Field. Cespedes, who beat Athletics teammate Josh Donaldson in a tiebreaker after each finished with three in the first round, breezed by Baltimore’s Adam Jones in the second round. Frazier topped NL captain Troy Tulowitzki on the other side. Colorado’s Justin Morneau, the fan favorite after 10-plus years and four All-Star games for the host Twins, was eliminated in the first round. Morneau returned to his See DERBY on PAGE B2

FIRST TEE WINNERS

The First Tee of Northern Michigan held a pro and amateur golf tournament at The Jewel on Mackinac Island on Wednesday, July 9, for First Tee participants and their family members. Winners of the pro division were Jason and McKenna Horricks of Harbor Springs (right), while the amateur division winners were Drew and Nate Goodman of Harbor Springs and Oklahoma City (left). Other participants included: Charlie Kost and Bennett Langton, Zoey and Shaun Bezilla, Shea and Rob Fuhrman, McKenna Norton and Andi Shepherd, Jacque and Connie O’Neill, Calli and Brian O’Neill, Megan and Kelly Horricks, Connor Roche, Joey Walker, Thomas Sullivan, Megan and Mark Novak, Aaron and Ed Zmikly, Lydia and Jeep Damoose, Larry and Cara Smith, Andy Metz and Bob Raleigh, Hunter and James Dekeyser, Taylor and Louis Ives, Mason and Riley Norton, Sarah and Sue Holmes.

MINNEAPOLIS — Derek Jeter was an elite shortstop winning World Series championships not long after many of baseball’s current greats were born. With the captain of the New York Yankees set to retire after the season, Jeter’s 14th All-Star game will be his last. His first one as a starter in 2000 was special, as was the 2008 version at Yankee Stadium. So don’t expect him to declare his final appearance his favorite, or an experience he’ll find himself savoring any more than usual. “This is a game that I’ve truly always looked forward to. I’ve appreciate the time that I’ve had here. So it’s kind of difficult to say that I’ll try to enjoy it more,” Jeter said on Monday amid a predictably large crowd of cameras and reporters during the media interview session for the American League players. Though the Yankees have been hovering around the .500 mark, Jeter has said many times he’s only focused on chasing another championship, not gathering farewell gifts or reflect-

ing nostalgically on his exceptional career. That part has been left up to everyone else around the game. Tampa Bay Rays pitcher David Price said Jeter’s final presence was what excited him the most about this year’s event. “I know the All-Star game isn’t about a certain player or a certain team, but I feel like it is. This is about Derek Jeter. And the National League guys, they understand that as well,” Price said. For Minnesota Twins closer Glen Perkins, Jeter has been one of those “guys you can tell your grandkids about” pitching to. St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright, who’ll start the All-Star game for the National League on Tuesday night at Target Field, will throw his first pitch to Jeter when the 40-yearold steps to the plate as the AL leadoff man. “I’m very excited about it, just to say I faced the best,” Wainwright said. “And he is undoubtedly one of the best to ever play his position.” To Jeter’s left will be second baseman Robinson Cano, who left the Yankees in the offseason and signed with the Seattle Mariners.

MEEKS FROM B1 eter, with Meeks, Butler and Augustin joining holdovers Singler, Brandon Jennings and Kentavious CaldwellPope. “You can never have too many shooters,” Meeks said. The biggest issue still facing the Pistons is probably the status of Monroe, who is a re-

stricted free agent. “The Monroe situation has taken center stage, remains center stage and will be center stage until it’s resolved,” Van Gundy said. “It’s really not anything going on there right now. There’s not really a whole lot more that can go on. We’ll just see where the situation takes us.”

roots, and so did the event itself, considering the inaugural contest was held at the Metrodome before the 1985 All-Star game. Admission then was a mere $2, slightly less than the $200-and-up price tags on the derby these days. The original form was actually a 1960s-era television show, featuring sluggers like Harmon Killebrew of the Twins. Delayed 54 minutes by light rain on an unseasonably cool night — even for Minnesota — with a start-time temperature of 59 degrees, the contest began with a rainbow protruding from the clouds beyond leftcenter field that framed this limestone-encased ballpark that opened in 2010. Frazier went first, and while he went deep twice, he didn’t quite reach the rainbow. Neither did

Twins second baseman Brian Dozier, the smallest of the participants who had the backing of the crowd with chants of his last name during his two-homer round. “Even my brother he said he got chills,” said Dozier, one of seven firsttime participants. His brother, Clay, was his pitcher. The loudest roars were for Morneau, naturally, in his return to the place he called home until being traded last summer. An easy pick for Tulowitzki, Morneau checked the weather forecast as soon as he woke up to gauge the wind direction. The only left-hander in the event his year, Morneau’s third derby appearance brought the fans to their feet with AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” blaring in the background.

PETOSKEY FROM B1 Both Horn and Budnick added three runs batted in each for Petoskey. A potential rematch with Cheboygan in the championship game could present itself, but for now, focus will be on Wednesday’s semifinal in a win or go home situation. “Now the fun begins, it’s do or die,” said Horn. “We’re going to work hard tonight still yet and we’re going to work hard tomorrow and hopefully come in on Wednesday and give our best effort.” With the focus all on his Minors team now, representing Petoskey will also be a factor for Horn and his team. “We’re the only Petoskey team standing right now and the kids are well aware of it,” he added. “We’re going to do our best to represent our town.”

Watson watching Woods closely for Ryder Cup team DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

HOYLAKE, England — U.S. captain Tom Watson had been looking forward to seeing Tiger Woods at the British Open to “tell him my feelings about him direct” about the Ryder Cup. On second thought, there’s not much to say. “Not a whole lot, probably,” Watson said Monday. “Again, it’s performance. I could ask Tiger, ‘How are you feeling? How are you feeling like you’re hitting the ball? Are you hitting it well?’ And that doesn’t mean anything, really. The performance means something. I’ll be watching Tiger and I want him on the team — I do. He’s a tough competitor and he’s great in the team room. Wouldn’t you want him on your team?” Woods has three tournaments to give Watson an indication of his game. The 14-time major champion was out for three months because of back surgery, and he wasn’t playing well in the months leading to the March 31 operation as his back pain became more evident. Woods is No. 72 in the Ryder Cup standings with only five weeks remaining to earn one of nine spots. He is a long shot to make the team, though a victory at Royal Liverpool — or the PGA Championship — would do the trick. Watson repeated the two factors that matter to him — the game and the health of Woods. And he was careful not to speculate what would happen if Woods failed to get into the FedEx Cup playoffs for the top 125. Woods is at No. 212 with three tournaments remaining. “If he’s playing well and he’s healthy, I’ll pick him,” Watson said. “But then the caveat is if he doesn’t get into the FedEx Cup. What to do then? And that’s the question I can’t answer right now.”

Woods has the Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone ($9 million purse) and the PGA Championship ($10 million purse, with points doubled) before the Ryder Cup qualifying period ends. Watson will make his three picks after the second FedEx Cup event. “I can’t speculate how he’s going to be playing through the PGA,” Watson said. “I hope that he’s playing well enough where he gets in the FedEx Cup and plays a few tournaments in the FedEx Cup. That’s my sincere hope, that he plays well. And I suspect he’ll be there.” Woods won at Royal Liverpool in 2006. He returns to a course that is green and lush, a sharp difference from last time when it was brown and fast. He played 12 holes Saturday and 18 holes Sunday, and was not at the course for much of Monday. He has said his intention is to win this week, having returned three weeks ago at Congressional with plenty of rust in his short game. Woods missed the cut. Watson likes the way Woods is thinking, and hopes every player in the field has the same intention. “Just put it this way: I wouldn’t write off Tiger Woods for a long time the way he plays the game,” Watson said. “He’s a tough competitor. He knows how to swing the golf club. And yes, he’s had some injuries and other things — issues. But the thing is, he’s had a long career. And I fully expect it to be a longer career.” Woods has made every Ryder Cup team since he turned pro except for 2010, when he was returning from a scandal in his private life that led to divorce. Corey Pavin picked up for the team at Wales. Woods won three of his four matches for his best individual record in any Ryder Cup.

Thrifty is nifty.

Since the founding of our nation, the role of newspapers in our democracy has been crystal clear. We have been, and will continue to be, the eyes and ears of the American people. After all, the right of free speech is meaningless if no one knows what’s really going on. That’s why more than 100 million Americans depend on their hometown newspapers daily and why today’s newsrooms are staffed with dedicated, highly trained reporters and experienced editors who bring you the very best journalism found anywhere, in print and online.

A good ad attracts attention. Ask about attention-getters in your next classified ad.

Hints from Heloise ® The Search for a Good APR Dear Readers: What is the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE (APR) on your credit card? The APR is a number that represents, by percentage, the interest you pay. When applying for a credit card with different companies, you want to look for the one offering the lowest APR. However, there are different types of APRs to consider. Some companies will offer an “introductory or promotional APR” for a limited time. Usually, this APR is offered for no longer than a year, and then the rate goes up. Two other kinds are “purchase APRs,” which apply only to items charged on the card, and “cashadvance APRs,” which have much higher rates. Be a savvy consumer and read all the terms and conditions before applying. — Heloise KEEP COPIES

Dear Heloise: After graduating from school, it’s a good idea to make a copy of your diploma prior to framing it or storing it. Many employers are now requiring a diploma copy (high school as well as college) for prospective and current employees. Schools usually can provide you with a copy of your transcript, but not of your diploma. Having a copy in a file is much handier than searching Mom’s attic years later or trying to get a decent copy of a framed diploma. — Anne H. in Arkansas PAINT REMOVAL

Dear Heloise: The paint on our porch was chipping, so I bought paint-andepoxy remover. While trying to peel the paint off a little at a time, I got the idea to get my wallpaper steamer out and try it. I would start the edge with a wire brush, and it would peel off in big

sheets, just like when removing wallpaper. This made the job much better, and there were no chemicals to burn my hands. — Linda B., via email You don’t mention what type of paint was used to paint the porch, but the steamer worked, so you discovered a great hint the old-fashioned way — by trial and error! — Heloise PAY FORWARD

Dear Heloise: When I am using a gift card at restaurants, I wind up with a small balance, usually less than a dollar. I ask the cashier to pass on the balance to the next customer (they might not let you put it in the tip jar). I just try to pass it on. — A Reader in Texas HELPING HAND

Dear Heloise: As a senior citizen with arthritis in my hands, I often find it difficult to remove the lid packaging from medications, vitamins and sealed bottles. I purchased a small, needle-nose pair of pliers with a spring action that helps grip the plastic shrink wrap on the outside of the bottles. It also helps lift off the safety seal on the inside. This will work for mayonnaise jars and other foods with safety seals, too. — Joan, via email WINE STOPPER

Dear Heloise: A wine stopper works perfectly in glass soda bottles. It helps to keep the fizz in. — A Reader, via email Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise@Heloise.com.

Maximizing your mobility

Find your footâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sole mate

ne of the most common questions physical therapists are asked is: â&#x20AC;&#x153;What kind of shoes should I buy?â&#x20AC;? As with many seemingly simple questions, the answer can be a bit complicated. Shoe manufacturers make different models for different foot and body types, as well as for different activities. More important than the price, design, or celebrity-endorser of your shoe is how they support your foot and whether or not they are designed for your activity of interest. The two main athletic shoe types are those designed for court sports and those designed for running or walking. Running shoes and walking shoes are grouped together because many physical therapists feel that people who walk for exercise should wear running shoes for maximum comfort. Running shoes typically have more cushion than walking shoes, and more cushion translates to less wear and tear on your joints. Running shoes can be further divided into three broad categories. The first group is motioncontrol shoes, which are typically for people with flat feet and other foot problems which need extra support to help prevent injury. The second group is classified as cushioned shoes. These are made for people whose feet donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t roll in or out very much and are somewhat stiff. Since the lack of roll in the foot decreases the footâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to absorb shock, these shoes have extra padding to decrease the forces on the joints of the body. The third group of running shoes is stability shoes. These shoes combine some motion control with a good amount of cushion, and are best for mid-weight runners who have normal foot arches. Most shoe boxes wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell which of these three groups a certain model is in. You will have to ask an informed salesperson or do some research yourself on the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve chosen a pair of shoes that works for you it is important that you wear your shoes during the activity for which they were intended. If someone were to wear running shoes to play basketball, not only would the ankle have less support, but this would cause the upper part of the shoe to break down. Running shoes are typically not designed for cutting activities, and the reverse is true for basketball shoes. It should also be noted that the shoes you run in should not be worn every day at work or around the house. Doing so can decrease the motion control and cushioning of the shoe.

While finding the perfect pair of shoes can be fairly easy for the un-impaired population, finding shoes to fix issues such as Jeff chronic plantar Samyn fasciitis or knee pain can be much more daunting. My experience treating lower extremity pain has been that while the proper foot wear is important, it is also crucial to look at structures in the body which may be causing the pain. For example, people with plantar fasciitis are often found to have significant weakness in their hip muscles. This weakness works its way down the kinetic chain of the body, putting increased stress on the bottom of the foot. In such a case, if the hip weakness is not addressed, it is unlikely that even a perfectly fit shoe will help much. Here are a few tips to consider when making your next purchase: 1. The cushioning in most shoes is only good for 300-500 miles of use, including just walking around during the day. This means that most shoes should be replaced every six12 months, depending on the amount and type of activity. 2. Find a store that has staff who are knowledgeable about the different shoe types and how to select the best shoe for each foot type. There are several local stores that have well-trained staff and a wide selection of brands and styles. 3. Before you commit to a purchase, test the shoes by simulating the activity the shoes will be used for. Runners should run outside the store (most salespeople wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind if you ask) or on a treadmill if one is available. Basketball and tennis players should do some cutting activities as you would during a match or game. Also, check the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return policy just in case you change your mind. Follow these basic guidelines and you will be one step closer to accomplishing your athletic and exercise goals. Â

When stars are born

i there, astronomytype people! Another great week has passed, with very good night skies. Believe it or not, lots of fireflies played havoc with my attempts to do much astrophotography. They are so lovely though, that for the short period of the year when they are present, the winking on and off is a pleasure to behold. It certainly epitomizes a lovely summer evening out under the stars. On July 17, 1850, the very first photograph of a star (bright Vega) was made. The Apollo-Soyuz first linkup also took place on this date in 1975 and signaled a willingness to work together with the Russians (and vice versa) that continues today. On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 landed on the moon. Probably one of the most significant scientific events in history, it was watched world-wide and changed our view of the cosmos forever. On the same date in 1976, the Viking 1 probe landed on Mars. The Moon is Last Quarter on July 18. Finally, on July 23, 1975, the Chandra X-ray observatory was launched into orbit. It has given us spectacular pictures of the cosmos seen at X-ray wavelengths. I was recently asked again what exactly a â&#x20AC;&#x153;planetary nebulaâ&#x20AC;? is. You must realize that the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;nebulaâ&#x20AC;?

was used very loosely by early astronomers. It described any fuzzy, vague and ill-defined object of the sky that could Bryan P. not be resolved Shumaker into stars by a telescope. One famous astronomer described a nebula as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a faint mist patch, appearing much like a soft breath on a mirror.â&#x20AC;? A planetary nebula is one of these patches but rather than being large and diffuse, is a very small and discrete object, almost appearing â&#x20AC;&#x153;planet-like.â&#x20AC;? We now know that a planetary nebula is actually the signature of a dying star. Stars are born, mature and eventually die. The mass of the star determines just how this will happen. Stars with masses many times that of our sun will end their lives in a violent supernova explosion. Stars about the size of our sun will end their lives quite differently. As the hydrogen in a star is gradually used up by being converted to helium via fusion, the star begins to fuse helium into other, heavier elements. Eventually the star begins to expand as the fusion reactions move outward from the starâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core. At some point, the outer layers of the star are blown off into space, eventually leaving

only a small, very dense, naked stellar core called a white dwarf. These huge bursts of shed stellar material are bombarded by intense radiation (including ultraviolet light) from the starâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exposed core which causes the gas to glow most beautifully when seen through a telescope. Some of these bursts of shed stellar material are quite complex and unusual, and astronomers do not yet fully understand the dynamics of this process. Several of the large and bright ones were listed by Chas. Messier in his famous list, noticeably M 57 (the Ring Nebula) and M 27 (the Dumbell Nebula). Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss an opportunity to see these through a telescope if you get a chance! By the way, I want to remind you yet again that NOMAC (Northern Michigan Astronomy Club) www. nomac.net is hosting its third annual Star Party ThursdaySaturday, Aug. 21-23, at Raven Hill Discovery Center. Food and camping on the field is the order of the night, including as much observing as you want. We have some great guest speakers giving a talk each night before it gets dark. Check out the details on the Internet.

Trial: dengue shot offers some protection MARIA CHENG AP Medical Writer

LONDON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The most advanced vaccine for dengue only offers modest protection but could still help millions of people avoid the devastating effects of the disease known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;breakbone fever,â&#x20AC;? according to a large trial. There is no treatment for dengue, which causes symptoms including fever, severe joint pain, headaches and bleeding. About half the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population is at risk from the mosquito-borne disease, which sickens about 100 million people every year, mostly in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Results from an early trial of the vaccine in 2012 found the vaccineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efficacy was 33 percent and that it failed to protect against one type of dengue; there are four distinct kinds and the vaccine is meant to fight all of them. In the latest study, conducted in more than 10,000 children aged 2 to 14 in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam, the shotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efficacy improved to 56 percent. Most common vaccines like those for measles and po-

lio are more than 95 percent effective. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all would have wanted a better efficacy rate but this is what we have to live with at the moment,â&#x20AC;? said Annelies Wilder-Smith of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, who wrote a commentary for the study, published Friday in the journal Lancet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether this vaccineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efficacy is enough for countries to invest in is a question for economists.â&#x20AC;? Researchers tracked the children in the new study, including those who got the fake shot, for about two years and noted side effects and other health problems following the vaccine. The study was paid for by Sanofi Pasteur, the vaccineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maker. Other experts said longer follow-up data on vaccinated children is needed to assess the shotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety. People infected with one type of dengue develop antibodies that protect them from further infections of that type. But if they catch another kind of dengue, their antibodies make them susceptible to more serious disease that could include hemorrhaging. Some scientists worry

the antibodies from a dengue vaccine might have the same effect and say vaccinated children should be monitored for several years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand the antibody response in dengue well enough to know if this (problem) would also occur with a vaccine,â&#x20AC;? said Martin Hibberd, a professor of emerging infectious diseases at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t part of the study. He was also concerned the shot seemed to work by boosting pre-existing antibodies in people previously infected with dengue, since younger children didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get much protection from the shot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit scary that it looks like the vaccine only works in people who have already had dengue,â&#x20AC;? which would make the vaccine useless for Western tourists traveling to dengue-endemic countries, he said. Officials at Sanofi Pasteur said they plan to apply for regulatory approval starting next year. The company said it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;too prematureâ&#x20AC;? to discuss the vaccineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential price.
