Ambulance Authority vote suspended

CHARLEVOIX

■ Millage renewal request

expected in August Brandon Hubbard 439-9374 - bhubbard@petoskeynews.com

After more than a month of considering the development of a proposed Emmet County-Mackinaw City Emergency Medical Services Authority, a decision could be put on hold for as long as two years.

The proposed authority would create a taxing authority to fund and oversee the ambulance services in Emmet County — contractually provided by nonprofit company Allied EMS — and the village of Mackinaw City.

During the Emmet County administrative meeting on Tuesday it was announced that a vote to create the authority would not be held at the Emmet County Board of Commissioners on Thursday.

BRANDON HUBBARD/NEWS-REVIEW

Instead, the Emmet County Board of Commissioners and the county will seek a millage renewal for the 0.25 mills set to expire in November of 2011. The millage generates about $723,000 annually, which covers ambulance services only.

“The millage renewal will give us two years to look at the needs of the county and see if an authority is the right way to go,” said Emmet County controller Lyn Johnson.

“There seems to be a lot of concern and confusion about setting up an authority with a nonprofit company for services, although that has See AUTHORITY on PAGE A10

On Friday, Northern Michigan Regional Hospital will break ground on a two-story outpatient health care center at its Lockwood-MacDonald campus in Petoskey.

The John and Marnie Demmer Wellness Pavilion will house the hospital’s dialysis unit, along with outpatient cardiac, occupational and physical therapy services and a wellness center.

“The plan for the wellness center has been in the works on and off for the last 20 years,” said Ree zie DeVet, president and CEO of Northern Michigan Regional Hospital. “It has become more and more evident that we needed to move forward on this project in the six years I’ve been at the hospital.”

What: Northern Michigan Regional Hospital will break ground on Marnie Demmer Wellness Pavilion, a two-story outpatient health care center When: 10:30 a.m. Friday, April 16 Where: The hospital’s Lockwood-MacDonald campus in Petoskey Wellness Pavilion is expected to serve 15,000 patients a year, and offer a more comfortable and efficient area for dialysis and therapy patients. The pavilion will also offer services to cancer survivors, along with wellness counseling and education, and

holistic therapy.

DeVet also added that since the pavilion will be located at the Lockwood-MacDonald campus, it will ease parking congestion and offer easier accessibility for patients.

The cost of the John and Marnie Demmer Wellness Pavilion is approximately $7 million, much of which was funded by a $3 million dollar donation from John Demmer of Harbor Springs and his family.

“Donations are currently between $5-6 million and that number changes daily,” said DeVet. “The foundation is really focusing on raising all the money needed.”

Groundbreaking for the John and Marnie Demmer Wellness Pavilion will take place at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, April 16. The center is expected to open in May 2011.

“This is a great way to build some good will in the community and to give something back to our citizens.”

BOYNE CITY — At a time when most governmental bodies are scrambling to balance their budgets in the face of shrinking property values, the Boyne City leaders did what might seem un-thinkable: They lowered the city’s tax rate.

At its regular semi-monthly meeting Tuesday, the Boyne City City Commission unanimously approved the city’s 2010-2011 budget including a 0.25-mill reduction in the city’s overall millage rate.

The tax cut leaves the city’s millage rate at 15.76 mills, the lowest rate in more than 35 years.

One mill equals $1 in tax for every $100,000 in a property’s taxable value. That means for the owner of property valued at $200,000, Tuesday’s cut will mean about a $25 tax savings and about $52,000 less in revenue for the city.

As proposed before Tuesday’s meeting the general fund budget had called for a little more than $4 million in spending, which included dipping about $168,000 into the city’s fund balance (cash reserves).

That would leave about $1.4 million in cash reserves at the end of the fiscal year.

However, before approving the millage reduction, the commission made about $50,000 in cuts to the budget to offset the revenue loss from the tax cut. The cuts, mostly a few thousand each, were spread over about 18 different accounts.

Before approving the budget and tax rate reduction, several city commissioners said they expect the cost of the tax cut will likely be made up in cost savings on upcoming construction projects alone.

City manager Michael Cain cautioned the commission against reducing the tax rate in light of the

state’s sluggish economic recovery.

But most of the commissioners voiced strong support for the modest tax cut saying it is a small way the city can help its residents in tough financial times.

Mayor Chuck Vondra said he was comfortable with the move noting that in the face of shrinking taxable values the city will not have to cut any services, lay anyone off and has a “healthy” fund balance.

“This is a great way to build some good will in the community and to give something back to our citizens,” Vondra said.

The budget also takes into consideration an estimated $10 million reduction in the city’s overall taxable value for the coming year.

Based on the approved millage rate, the taxable value reduction means a loss of about $157,000 in city tax revenue.

Despite the revenue loss, the city has around $3 million in major infrastructure projects planned for the coming year. A significant portion of those projects will be paid through state and federal grants and money that has been set aside for the projects, city clerk Cindy Grice said.

Among the projects are road and utility reconstruction on Division and North East streets and a water system project that will include a new well and renovating and installing a booster station in the original water works building.

Neb. governor signs landmark abortion bills

BEIJING (AP) — A series of strong earthquakes struck a far western Tibetan area of China on Wednesday, killing at least 400 people and injuring more than 10,000 as houses made of mud and wood collapsed, trapping many more, officials said.

The largest quake was recorded by the U.S. Geological Survey as magnitude 6.9.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The little girl’s voice on the 9-1-1 call was faint, yet cheerful.

“Hi. This is Nadia and I’m the girl that got lost.”

With that one declaration, central Florida police knew Tuesday that after four days of searching and lots of prayer, they had found missing 11-yearold Nadia Bloom.

The girl had bug bites yet “no major injuries.”

Lauer to face jury trial in July on multiple drug charges ■

Potential murder case set for final conference in May Christina Rohn 439-9398 - crohn@petoskeynews.com

A Petoskey man facing multiple drug charges in Emmet County, as well as a possible murder charge in Antrim County, is scheduled to face a jury trial this July in 57th Circuit Court.

James Jeffrey Lauer, 49, was arrested in February by deputies from the Emmet County Sheriff ’s Department after police executed several search warrants on Feb. 16, in pursuit of a working methamphetamine lab.

D u r i n g t h i s t i m e, L a u e r ’s home was searched, resulting in the seizure of meth, cocaine and marijuana.

According to an affidavit in circuit court, Lauer was allegedly found to have a marijuana growth operation which was not in a locked area, and witnesses at the scene admitted to buying or receiving the drug from him.

Lauer has been charged with

two counts of delivery/manufacture of a controlled substance (cocaine, heroin or another narcotic) less than 50 g rams, each of which are 20-year Lauer felonies; one count of possession of methamphetamine/ecstacy, a 10-year felony; one count of delivery/manufacture of a controlled substance (schedules 1, 2 and 3, except marijuana), a seven-year felony; and one count of delivery/manufacture marijuana, a four-year felony.

Each of these charges carries a second, or subsequent offender notice, which could double Lauer’s maximum sentence.

He also faces habitual offender — third offense, which doubles the maximum sentence of his primary charge.

Lauer will now face a two-day jury trial for these charges July 19-20 in circuit court.

In addition to this case, Lauer

is also facing a possible murder charge in Antrim County after allegedly causing the death of 27-year-old Amanda Brookz Harding of Kalkaska in September 2009.

According to James Rossiter, assistant prosecuting attorney for Antrim County, Lauer allegedly traded Harding a fentanyl patch for two packs of heroin outside a Glen’s market in Mancelona on Sept. 14, 2009.

Two days after the exchange (Sept. 16), Harding was found dead in her van outside the grocery store.

Harding’s autopsy results indicated that she died as a result of mixed toxicity from both the fentanyl and heroin.

Lauer was arrested March 3 in the Emmet County Jail by Antrim County authorities, and was subsequently charged March 4 in Antrim County’s 86th District Court with one count of controlled substance causing death, or in the alternative, one count of second-degree

EPA to hold public meeting on proposed cleanup

MONTAGUE TOWNSHIP (AP) — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is inviting public input on proposed methods of cleaning up contaminated groundwater at a former chemical plant in Muskegon County.

The Wednesday evening meeting will outline EPA’s plans to oversee the installation of six new extraction wells on the former Occidental Chemical Corp. facility in Montague Township, about 55 miles northwest of Grand Rapids.

The agency says in a statement that the new wells, combined with a well system already in place at White Lake, should reduce groundwater contamination to safe levels from Old Channel to White Lake within 18 years.

The EPA will hold a second public meeting at the township hall on May 13, then consider oral and written public comments before it decides on a final cleanup plan.

Military voting plan passes Michigan Legislature

LANSING (AP) — Legislation meant to make it easier and faster for military personnel from Michigan to vote in elections is close to becoming law.

Bills approved unanimously by the state House on Tuesday are headed to Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s desk.

The legislation requires that all absentee ballots be delivered to clerks for distribution at least 45 days before an election.

The bills permit the state to send absentee voter ballots to Michigan residents serving overseas by e-mail. Voters could print out the ballots and mail them to election clerks in Michigan.

Supporters say the plan would speed up the process of voting and increase participation in elections for military personnel stationed overseas.

The bills passed Tuesday are House Bills 5279 and 5530.

murder.

Both charges carry a maximum penalty of life in prison.

Rossiter said a jury will decided which charge is more suitable for Lauer.

He is also facing habitual offender — fourth offense, which would enhance his maximum sentence to life in prison.

Lauer appeared in Antrim County’s 13th Circuit Cour t Monday, April 12, for a pre-trial hearing (status conference), where attorneys on both sides discussed the case.

According to Rossiter, no decisions have yet been made as to whether Lauer will plead or go forward to trial. He said the case will now be scheduled for a final conference in May, a court date which has not yet been set.

Rossiter said, following the May court hearing, he will have a more definitive answer as to where the case will be headed.

“The case could be resolved (in May), or, it could go forward to trial,” he said.

Mary Cummings, the newly appointed executive directory of the Harbor Springs Area Historical Society, has worked with the society as a museum professional since June 2007 and has been serving as acting executive director since last October.

Historical Society hires new executive director HARBOR SPRINGS — The Harbor Springs Area Historical Society is pleased to announce the hiring of Mary Cummings as its executive director. Cummings has worked with the historical society as a museum professional since June 2007 and has been serving as acting executive director since last October.

“We think this is a natural fit,” said Lesley Fischer, Harbor Springs Historical Society board president. “We’ve been very happy with the work Mary has done in the past six months and are confident that her leadership skills will

bring continued successes to the historical society.”

Prior to joining the staff of the historical society, Cummings served a three-year term on the board of trustees including two years as board treasurer. She also worked with the Harbor Springs Area Historical Society volunteer committee that published the postcard book “In All The World, No Place Like This” in 2005.

“I’m very excited about this opportunity,” Cummings said.

“Much like the work I enjoyed as a reporter for the Harbor Light newspaper in the 1990s, I

feel this work offers endless opportunities to connect with the community I’ve always called home.”

Cummings is a Harbor Springs native, a graduate of Harbor Springs High School and the University of Michigan.

The Harbor Springs Area Historical Society was founded in 1990. In December 2008, the society opened the Harbor Springs History Museum in the former city hall building at 349 E. Main St. For more information, call (231) 526-9771 or visit online: www.HarborSpringsHistory.org.

The possible candidates for the 1st Congressional District held by retiring Congressman Bart Stupak, D-Menominee, is beginning to thin after a weekend of speculation and political strategy.

State Rep. Kevin Elsenh e i m e r, R Kewadin, said in a statement Tuesday he would not seek a ConElsenheimer gressional b i d i n t h e “After 1st District. discussing “ I a m it with my humbled by the calls family, I of suppor t and encour- concluded agement to that my run for the o p e n s e a t priorities i n n o r t h - are right er n lower here at Michigan and the Up- home.” p e r Pe n i n sula,” ElsenState Rep. heimer said.

Kevin Elsenheimer, “While it R-Kewadin would have been an honor to serve in Congress, I want to spend more time closer to home and representing the largest congressional district east of the Mississippi would make that nearly impossible. After discussing it with my family, I concluded that my priorities are right here at home.”

Elsenheimer, the minority speaker of the Michigan House, is term-limited and has said he could potentially seek an open judgeship in Traverse City.

GAYLORD

Task force formed to help reduce poverty Lorene Parshall Gaylord Herald Times Staff Writer

OTSEGO COUNTY — T he Otsego County Poverty Awareness Task Force has evolved into the Poverty Reduction Initiative Task Force.

In a further move to combat poverty in the county, eight members of the task force received “navigator’ training at a March 19 workshop held at North Central Michigan College in Petoskey, sponsored by the Charlevoix-Emmet Poverty Reduction Initiative.

Navigator training teaches members of the community — professional and nonprofessional — who are interested in helping others, to make a difference in the lives of local people living in pov-

erty. The Otsego task force hopes to bring the training to Gaylord by fall.

According to the task force cochair Laurie Andrews, “The difference between a ‘navigator’ and a ‘mentor’ is that a navigator helps a person with a situation, while a mentor is more of a friendly, helping, ongoing relationship.”

For those now living in or near poverty, the task force has arranged for Otsego County residents to attend a one-day event, the “Opportunity Conference: From Hardships to Success.” It is also sponsored by the Char-Em task force. It will take place from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Friday, April 23, at Boyne Mountain Civic Center, Boyne Falls.

Conference speaker Donna Beagle, who moved from poverty to

success herself, has valuable tips for moving toward success. The free conference includes breakfast, lunch, goodie bags, table prizes and a drawing for a grand prize. Child care is available for the one-day conference, but space is limited and should be requested when registering for the event.

To register, call (231) 582-8070.

In addition, members of the Otsego task force have partnered with volunteers from various agencies to organize the third annual Community Connect event which will take place from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Wednesday, May 12, at the Evangelical Free Church, 1649 M-32 East, Gaylord.

More than 40 agencies will provide free information or services to help those struggling with financial problems to get on

their feet. Among the many free items offered to attendees are dental and eye screenings, food from the Michigan Food Bank, brunch, personal care gift bags and rides to and from the event by the Otsego County Bus System. Those wanting a ride must call ahead to schedule at (989) 732-6224. The public is welcome to Community Connect and no appointment is necessary, except for the bus rides.

Those not having difficulty with finances probably know someone who is and can help spread the word about the Opportunity Conference and Community Connect. Businesses, organizations and individuals wanting to donate services, products or funds to Community Connect should call (989) 390-3902.

Our View Reminder to motorists, bicyclists: share the road safely

S

pring has been settling in quickly this year in Northern Michigan, with quite a few bicyclists already finding the mild weather appealing for rides along local trails and roads.

With the busy season on area roadways approaching, the time seems right to remind motorists and bicyclists alike of the importance of safely sharing the road.

In recent years, several Northern Michigan riders have suffered death or serious injuries when motor vehicles have collided with their bicycles. Statewide, data from the Michigan State Police show that 25 bicyclists were killed and 1,638 injured in crashes with motor vehicles during 2008.

By showing caution and respect for the other users of the road, we’re hopeful that motorists and bicyclists can do their part to avoid this type of crash. The League of American Bicyclists offers tips for both groups to follow in sharing the road.

For motorists, recommendations include: Drive cautiously: Reduce speed when encountering bicyclists; avoid tailgating, particularly in bad weather; and recognize the hazards cyclists face and give them space.

Yield to cyclists: Remember that bicycles are considered vehicles and should be given the ap-

propriate right of way; and allow extra time for bicyclists to cross intersections.

Be considerate: Scan for cyclists in traffic and at intersections; do not blast your horn in close proximity to cyclists; and look for cyclists when opening vehicle doors.

Pass with care: When passing,

leave 4 feet between you and a cyclist; wait for safe road and traffic conditions before passing; and check over your shoulder before moving back.

Watch for children: Remember that children on bicycles are often unpredictable; expect the unexpected and slow down; don’t expect children to know traffic

laws; and remember that children are often harder to see because of their size.

The following road-sharing tips are geared toward bicyclists: On the road: Remember that the same laws applying to motorists also apply to bicyclists; obey all traffic control devices; and use hand signals to indicate stops

and turns.

Helmet use: The League of American Bicyclists recommends that a properly fitting helmet always be worn, no matter how short the trip.

Ride on the right: Always ride in the same direction as traffic; use the farthest-right lane that heads toward your destination; and remember that slower-moving cyclists should stay to the right.

Ride predictably: Ride in a straight line; don’t swerve in the road or between parked cars; check for traffic before entering a street or intersection; and anticipate hazards and adjust your position accordingly.

Be visible: Wear brightly colored clothing that provides contrast; use a white front light in low light conditions; use a red rear light in low light conditions; use a reflector or reflective tape or clothing at any time; and announce yourself by making eye contact with motorists.

Whether they’re traveling to work, running errands or simply taking in the area’s appealing scenery, we wish motorists and bicyclists safe travel.

Tragedy once again challenges Poland Georgie Anne Geyer Universal Press Syndicate

WASHINGTON — The histories of certain countries have tragedy written across them, and Poland is surely one of these.

Situated as it is in the middle of a Europe that has been warring with itself for more than 2,000 years, Poland was the battlefield crossroads of everyone from the Russians, to the Swedes, to the Lithuanians. During World War II, the exquisite “old town” of Warsaw and its presidential palace was blown to nothingness by the Nazis.

And now, as the new free Poland was beginning to rejoice, new tragedy has been heaped upon the old in one of the strangest events in Central European history. How can one possibly find reason in the crash of the Polish president’s plane, carrying 88 of the country’s leading citizens to commemorate the Soviets’ massacre of 22,000 Polish officers in 1940 — in the infamous Katyn Forest.

From 1940 to the fall of communism in 1989-’91, the Katyn Forest near Smolensk in western Russia was something whispered about in Poland. It was too horrible to have the cream of the Polish officer corps executed, one by one,

by Stalin’s order. Even these last 20 years, the Russians only slowly acknowledged their participation — “guilt” was too strong a word — despite Mikhail Gorbachev’s courageous declaration in 1990 that the Russians were indeed guilty of the crime.

Yet finally, under Russia’s hardline former president, and now prime minister, Vladimir Putin, Katyn began to be talked about.

He received international praise for allowing Andrzej Wajda’s film, “Katyn,” to be shown on television in Russia, and he even spoke about it. But as welcome as all of this was, his words were somehow masked.

In one revealing speech, Putin spoke of “making sense of national memory and historical wounds.” But both peoples must “avoid the dead-end of a lack of understanding and eternal settling of scores, the primitive division of peoples into right and guilty.”

Further — and notably — Putin

Georgie Anne Geyer Foreign affairs columnist

Universal Press Syndicate declared that, for decades, people had attempted to “lay the blame for them on the Russian people,” whereas in truth it was “not the Russian people, but the Russian state.” Here we get into more of that endless Russian perversion of language, because the present Russian government — HIS present Russian government — has declared itself “the legal successor of the U.S.S.R.” and could rightly be called upon to accept moral responsibility or even calls for compensation to survivors.

In addition, reports were circulating in Warsaw that Russian officials had requested President Lech Kaczynski to soften his often hard-edged rhetoric at Katyn (the president, an early, active Solidarity member, was known for his anti-Russian feelings). In return, he was promised a prominent place in Moscow’s May 9 celebrations commemorating the end of World War II. That’s the background. Now fast forward to last weekend. The special plane of the respected Polish president, a 26-year-old Russian-made Tupolev TU-154, took off Saturday for Smolensk with a cargo of pure Polish “gold,” that is, besides the president, the most respected leaders in the entire state. There were even beloved historic figures like 80-year-old Anna Walentynowicz, the Gdansk woman whose firing sparked the strike that led to the Solidarity Free Trade Unions.

All we know as of this writing is that the creaky old plane, which should never have been flying, approached Smolensk in a deadly thick fog. For whatever reasons, the pilot refused continued instructions to avoid landing and go to another airport (possibly on the advice of the president, who has the say on things like this, even in the air), hit adjoining trees and crashed half a mile outside the runways.

Letters from our readers Silence is selective?

Editor: In response to “We can’t remain silent” are you referring to the years when our government fought two wars but did not tax the people to pay for the wars? Or are you referring to our government reducing taxes while we were at war. Either way, our national debt greatly increased and our collective silence was well heard.

Besides the above, our national debt is increasing because of run away health care costs. Before the current health care reform, our health care costs were twice as high as other developed countries per capital health and we did not cover 15 percent of our citizens.

We are the only developed country that allows insurance companies to deny coverage because of pre-existing conditions.

One of the reason our businesses are at a global disadvantage is our health care costs are so expensive. Health costs are so high because we are the only developed country that has for profit health insurance companies. As a consequence, we have the highest administrative costs in the world (20 percent). Other countries only allow non-profit companies to provide basic health coverage which significantly reduces the administrative costs The reason health care reform is so necessary is that 13,000

people are dying each year for the lack of access to health care.

Another 600,000 go bankrupt trying to pay for their health care. By providing universal coverage people will no longer die for lack of coverage or go bankrupt. Universal coverage spreads the risk pool so our premiums do not continue to climb and add to our national debt.

I would agree that our national debt is too large but we need to resolve the economic crisis that came from previous administration, and make the necessary reforms to prevent our banks from gambling with our savings/investments.

Watchdog: Obama foreclosure plan leaves many out

WASHINGTON (AP) — A watchdog panel overseeing the financial bailouts says the Obama administration’s flagship mortgage aid program lags well behind the foreclosure crisis and leaves too many families out.

The Congressional Oversight Panel says in a report released Wednesday that the administration projects only one million families will end up with lower monthly payments as a result of the program. The report says six million families are more than two months behind with their payments, and 200,000 more families receive foreclosure notices each month.

A year and a half after launching the prog ram, “Treasury is still fighting to get its foreclosure programs off the ground,� Elizabeth Warren, who heads the independent panel set up by Congress, told reporters Tuesday.

Warren warned that borr owe r s wh o h ave t h e i r monthly payments lowered as a result of the program still could lose their homes because the payments remain high and many Americans are facing new financial strains. “Redefault signals the single worst form of failure� by the Treasury Department, said Warren, who is a professor at Harvard Law School. “Billions of taxpayer dollars will be spent and families will nonetheless lose their

homes.�

The main program gives money to mortgage investors and collection companies that reduce borrowers’ monthly payments.

Treasury highlighted the panel’s finding that the administration has continued adjusting and expanding the program as the crisis deepens. “We strongly agree with the (panel’s) assessment that foreclosures are at an unacceptable high rate, which is why this program has been designed to prevent avoidable foreclosures,� Treasury spokeswoman Meg Reilly said in a statement. She said the program was not designed to prevent every foreclosure, and “we cannot help those who simply bought a home they could not afford.�

The report comes a day after top banking industry executives expressed skepticism about a new plan designed to help troubled borrowers by forgiving a portion of their debt.

The executives told lawmakers on Tuesday they are reducing the amount that troubled borrowers owe on their home loans only in limited cases. That’s because consumers who are paying their mortgages on time are likely to see such reductions as unfair, they said.

Such prog rams “could raise issues of fairness,� said Sanjiv Das, Citigroup’s top mortgage executive, who ap-

peared in front of the House Financial Services committee with top executives from Bank of America, Wells Fargo & Co. and JPMorgan Chase.

David Lowman, chief executive of Chase’s mortgage business, told lawmakers that large-scale mortgage principal reduction “could be harmful to consumers, investors and future mortgage market conditions.�

Chase estimates that reducing home loan balances so that no homeowners would owe more than the value of their homes would cost up to $900 billion, with $150 billion of that borne by the government.

Many homeowners aren’t satisfied. After the hearing was over, dozens of activists from the Boston-based Neighborhood Assistance Corp. of America chased Lowman through the marble-floored hallways of the Rayburn House Office Building, pressing him to do more to help troubled homeowners.

He did not respond to their requests for a meeting and eventually left the building with the assistance of police.

The four mortgage companies represented at the hearing are the largest in the country and have come under fire for not doing enough to help borrowers as part of the Obama administration’s $75 billion mortgage relief program.

Perhaps the editorial in the Financial Times ended on the most emotionally true note. Speaking of the peaceful passage of power, it read: “This may seem like scant consolation.

Obituaries Willard R. ‘Jim’ Gillespie, 92

Willard R. “Jim” Gillespie, age 92, finished his faithful journey on earth on March 18, 2010.

He was born in Hallstead, Pa., on April 25, 1917. He grew up there and attended Syracuse University earning a degree in mechanical engineering. While at Syracuse, Jim was co-captain of the Syracuse Lacrosse Team and a founding member of the Phi Kappa Tau fraternity. It was there that he met his wife, Helen, and they married at the Syracuse University Chapel in 1940 upon their graduation.

The central element of his life was his loving partnership of 65 years with his wife, Helen.

Jim spent his entire 40-year career as an engineer with the Babcock & Wilcox Company, makers of power plant equipment, retiring in 1980 as district sales manager for Michigan.

He held professional memberships in The Engineering Society of Detroit and The American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

Jim and Helen spent many years in Dearborn, raising their family. They were very active members of Christ Episcopal Church for nearly 30 years, serving as youth leader, basketball coach and vestry.

Jim was a member of the advisory board for the building of Dearborn High School. He was president of the Dearborn YMCA and active in the Dearborn Chapter of American Field Service. In 1966, his family hosted an exchange student, Mukko Odagiri, from Japan.

Upon retirement, Helen and Jim moved to their beloved hilltop home in Good Hart, where they spent many wonderful years enjoying the birds, woods, snow and beautiful Lake Michigan sunsets.

After 22 years, they moved to Perry Farm Village in Harbor Springs. Jim and Helen were active members of Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Petoskey whose members they considered their northern “family.”

Jim was active in the Emmet County 20/20 Project and served as president of the Kiwanis Club of Harbor Springs in 1988, where he started the Student Scholarship Fund. His

lifelong interest in education inspired the Kiwanis program to take Harbor Springs fifthgraders on field trips to different Gillespie businesses and manufacturing firms in the area.

Jim was an avid sports fan and a spirited supporter of the local Harbor Springs and Petoskey High School teams, as well as Syracuse lacrosse and basketball teams.

During his long life, Jim was an active outdoorsman, enjoying camping, hiking, canoeing and skiing. He had a lifetime interest in the world and his community, passing his passion for adventure onto his children and grandchildren.

Jim always had a smile for others and a wonderful positive attitude in spite of serious mobility challenges later in life.

He will be remembered for his constant faith, his immeasurable kindness for others, and having lived a gentle life. Jim was much loved by his family and friends.

Jim is survived by his sons, Steven J. Gillespie and wife, Sandra, Grosse Pointe Farms, Ted C. Gillespie and wife, Patricia, Sylvania, Ohio; and his daughter, Gay Ellen Gillespie and husband, John Schober, Roseville, Mich.; grandchildren, Nancy Arinder and husband, Jeff, Peter Gillespie, Harry Burkholder and wife, Andrea, Carolyn Loh and husband, Brian, and Molly Alberts and husband, Ian; great-grandchildren Kira Gillespie, Delaney Gillespie, Scott Arinder, Jessica Arinder, David Loh, Andrew Loh, Riley Burkholder and Harper Burkholder.

Jim was preceded in death by his wife, Helen, in 2006.

The family suggests memorial contributions be made to the memorial fund of Emmanuel Episcopal Church or the Kiwanis Club of Harbor Springs.

A memorial service will take place at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 17, at Emmanuel Episcopal Church. Visitation with the family begins at 10 a.m. at the church.

Edna married Rufus J. Dodge on May 6, 1939. They owned and operated the Mobil and Shell stations in Wolverine from 1946 to 1959; the Dairy Queen in Charlevoix from 1963-1970.

Rufus and Edna loved to travel. Edna was preceded in death by her husband, Rufus Dodge, on March 3, 1985; parents, Clare and Mary Scott; brother, David Scott; sister, Dorothy Scott; sister and brother-in-law, Viola and Howard Young.

Edna is survived by her son, Frederick Dodge of Petoskey, and grandchildren, Autumn Dodge and Noah Dodge of Lansing, Chicory (Nick) Dodge of Manton; daughter,

Roxy (Ron) Peruski of Ubly, and grandchildren Rodney Peruski of Ubly, Robin (Dave) Kaufman of Ubly, Shannon (Tom) Robinson of North Branch, Sloane (Tom) Stimpfel of Cass City, Cory (Amy) Peruski of Ubly; great-grandchildren, Hunter and Griffin Peruski, Jade, Jordan and Jason Kaufman, Hannah, Joe, Nikki, Madi and John Robinson, Bransen and CarLee Stimpfel and Camron, Austin, Ethan, Taylor and Parker Peruski.

Edna loved nature and the outdoors. She was an accomplished artist and pianist, gardener and conservationist. She served as Wolverine Village Clerk from 1960 to 1968; was a Girl Scout and 4-H Club leader; member of the American Legion Auxiliary and belonged to the Primrose Chapter No. 365 of Eastern Stars.

Cremation has taken place.

Found safe in Florida swamp; 11-year-old girl missing 4 days TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The little girl’s voice on the 9-1-1 call was faint yet cheerful, letting central Florida police know that after four days of searching and lots of prayer, they had found missing 11-year-old Nadia Bloom.

“Hi. This is Nadia and I’m the girl that got lost,” she said Tuesday from deep inside an alligator-infested swamp in Winter Springs .

The fifth-grader, who has Asperger’s syndrome, a type of autism-related disorder, was found by a man who attends the same church as her family, police said.

James King said she was in a dry patch in the middle of the swamp.

“Hey, I’ve got her,” King said in the 9-1-1 call. “I’ve got Nadia.”

King said that the girl had bug bites yet “no major injuries, just exposure.”

The girl, who had last been seen Friday, was taken to a hospital in nearby Longwood, where she was evaluated and treated for dehydration and insect bites, said Winter Springs Police Chief Kevin Brunelle.

“If I never believed in miracles, I sure do now,” Brunelle said.

Nadia Bloom, 11, missing since Friday afternoon, is carried by rescuers after being found on Tuesday in the woods surrounding her Winter Springs, Fla., home.

Brunelle said Nadia told rescuers two things: “I’m glad you guys found me” and “I can’t believe you guys rescued me.”

Her sister has said Nadia may have gone into the dense woods hoping to make a nature video.

As they waited for rescuers to arrive, King gave her a nutritional shake, an apple and some water.

Using cell phone signals and GPS coordinates, authorities found them in the swamp.

“Mr. King is a hero right now,” said Brunelle. “He led us to her.”

Last U.S. sardine cans to be packed Thursday in Maine Clarke Canfield Associated Press Writer

P RO S P E C T H A R B O R , Maine — The intensely fishy smell of herring has been the smell of money for generations of workers in Maine who have snipped, sliced and packed the small, silvery fish into billions of cans of sardines on their way to Americans’ lunch buckets and kitchen cabinets.

For the past 135 years, sardine canneries have been as much a part of Maine’s small coastal villages as the thick Down East fog. It’s been estimated that more than 400 canneries have come and gone along the state’s long, jagged coast.

The lone survivor, the Stinson Seafood plant here in this eastern Maine shoreside town, shuts down this week after a century in operation.

It is the last sardine cannery not just in Maine, but in the United States.

Lela Anderson, 78, has worked in sardine canneries since the 1940s and was among the fastest in sardinepacking contests that were held back in the day. Her packing days are over; now she’s a quality-control inspector looking over the bite-sized morsels in can after can that passes by her.

“It just doesn’t seem possible this is the end,” Anderson lamented last week while taking a break at the plant where she’s worked for 54 years. She and nearly 130 co-workers will lose their jobs.

Once considered an imported delicacy, sardines now have a humble reputation. They aren’t one species of fish. Instead, sardines are any of dozens of small, oily, cold-water fish that are part of the herring family that are sold in tightly packed cans.

The first U.S. sardine cannery opened in Maine in 1875, when a New York businessman set up the Eagle Preserved Fish Co. in Eastport.

Dozens of plants soon popped up, sounding loud horns and whistles to alert local workers when a boat came

In this Thursday, April 8, photo, workers fill cans at the Stinson sardine cannery in Gouldsboro, Maine. The sardine cannery, the last one operating in the U.S., will shut down this week. in with its catch from the herring-rich ocean waters off Maine. By 1900 there were 75 canneries, where knife-wielding men, women and young children expertly sliced off heads and tails and removed innards before packing them tight into sardine tins.

These days most of the canning is automated and the fish are cut with machines, though still packed by hand.

The Stinson packers are all women because they are thought to have stronger backs and better dexterity than men, according to plant manager Peter Colson.

Inside the spacious Stinson plant, dozens of workers in hairnets, aprons and gloves sort, pack and cook the herring that stream along flumes and conveyors. The fish are blanched in a 208-degree steamer for 12 minutes and later, cooked in sealed cans at about 250 degrees for 35 minutes.

Ear plugs muffle the cacophony of clanking cans, rattling conveyor belts, rumbling motors and hissing steam. A fishy smell hangs in the air. Outside, a billboardsized sign of a fisherman in yellow oilskins holding an

oversized can of Beach Cliff sardines, the plant’s primary product, serves as reminder of Maine’s long sardine history.

Colson has been in the sardine business for 38 years. He got his first job as a youngster at another cannery, an hour’s drive away, where his father was the manager.

“This is it. We don’t have any more,” Colson said as he watched workers swiftly pack cans in assembly line fashion.

“It’s not easy seeing this go.”

Production at Maine canneries has been sliding since peaking at 384 million cans in 1950. Faced with declining demand and a changing business climate, the plants went by the wayside one by one until, five years ago, the Stinson plant was the last one standing. Last year it produced 30 million cans.

Still, it came as a surprise to employees when Bumble Bee Foods LLC — which has owned the facility since 2004 — announced in February that the plant would close because of steep cuts in the amount of herring fishermen are allowed to catch in the Northeast. The New England Fishery Manage-

ment Council set this year’s herring quota at 91,000 metric tons — down from 180,000 tons in 2004 — because of the uncertain scientific outlook of the region’s herring population.

Shortages have forced San Diego-based Bumble Bee to truck in much of the herring needed at the Maine plant from its other cannery in Blacks Harbour, New Brunswick, and from herring suppliers as far away as New Jersey. Even without

the quota cuts, the plant was under pressure from shrinking consumer demand, increased foreign competition — primarily from China and Thailand — and thin margins and low prices on the retail market.

Sardines at one time were an inexpensive staple for many Americans who packed them into their lunchboxes and enjoyed a can or two — or perhaps a sardine sandwich — for lunch. The fish — usually packed in oil or in sauces such as mustard, hot sauce, tomato or green chilies — can still be had at supermarkets for a little over $1 a can, but they’re not in too many lunch pails these days.

Ronnie Peabody, who runs the Maine Coast Sardine History Museum in the town of Jonesport 35 miles up the road from the Stinson plant, has a cookbook published in 1950 called “58 Ways to Serve Sardines.” It includes recipes for sardine soup, sardine casserole, baked eggs and sardines, and creamed sardines and spinach.

Sardine consumption began falling decades ago, he said, after canned tuna came on the market and Americans’ tastes changed. The closing of the last U.S. cannery is the end of an era, he said.

“It’s like reading an obituary in the paper,” he said.

“It’s really sad, but what can

you do?”

When the last sardine can is packed on Thursday, plant workers say it’ll be like a family being split up.

Many of the employees have worked together for decades. Anderson, a tiny woman with strong hands and a strong back from years of packing small fish pieces into cans, said she’ll be leaving behind close friends when the plant closes.

But she won’t much miss the sardines, which she doesn’t eat.

“I’m not saying I hate them,” she said, “I’m just saying I’m not a big eater of them.”

Talks are in the works to sell the plant to another company to process lobster or other seafoods. Bumble Bee has invested more than $11 million in the plant in recent years, and there’s a work force at the ready.

Bumble Bee operates one of the last two U.S. clam canneries, in Cape May, N.J., and of the last two domestic tuna canneries, in California. But the days of sardine canning in the U.S. are probably gone, said Chris Lischewski, Bumble Bee’s president and CEO. “I would never say never, but I’d say it’s pretty unlikely,” Lischewski said in a phone interview from California.

Proper marketing vital to business success SCORE

You need to know that marketing is the foundation of building any successful, profitable, and sustainable business.

Nothing happens without a customer-driven marketing plan. Customers, even when we think that they are wrong, are right …because they are the customers.

There is an old marketing/business adage that is the core of any business: the customer comes first.

Delight and cherish the customer’s purchasing experience.

Marketing must permeate all functions of a business plan. All phases of an enterprise must have a marketing orientation to them. Without the customer, there is no revenue.

Think about what General Motors, Chrysler and even Toyota are going through.

The customers’ needs,

wants and/or demands have to be met in their purchasing decision for your product/service offering.

Robert Do not ever Palmer forget this.

Whether you are an automotive or appliance manufacturer, a mass merchandiser, or a builder, baker, bank, resort, bed & breakfast, etc., the customer is the single most important part of your business.

This is even true in other arenas, such as medical, legal and political, and for nonprofit organizations such as foundations, churches, and colleges.

Marketing leads to many questions, and ultimately, the direction you take in your venture. Here are some of these questions:

Ford Americas chief says first quarter revenues, demand up

DETROIT (AP) Ford Motor Co.’s revenues rose in the first quarter thanks to strong U.S. demand for cars and trucks, Ford’s Americas President Mark Fields said Tuesday.

Fields didn’t provide numbers, which are expected to be released later this month.

But it was more good news for the automaker, which is expected to report its fourth consecutive quarterly profit in the first quarter. Ford has benefited from Toyota’s recall woes as well as consumer goodwill because it didn’t take federal bailout money, as General Motors and Chrysler did.

Ford’s U.S. sales jumped 37 percent in the first three months of this year, more than double the industry increase of 15 percent. Only Subaru and Volkswagen had higher gains. Ford’s year-over-year U.S. market share gain for the quarter, at 2.7 percentage points, was the largest gain since 1977, when results were skewed by a strike.

Ford saw market share increases across the Ford brand, according to George Pipas, Ford’s top U.S. sales

The F-Series truck now holds 38.5 percent of the U.S. market, up from 33.2 percent in the first quarter last year. Sales of the Ford Fusion midsize sedan jumped 81 percent in the quarter. Sales of the new

Transit Connect commercial van also were strong.

Fields said incentive spending was down for the quarter despite pressure from Toyota Motor Co., which launched its biggest incentive program ever in

March after recalling millions of vehicles for safety problems. Incentives can temporarily boost sales but eat into profits. Auto information site Edmunds. com said Ford’s incentives dropped around $300 in

German tablet PC sets out to rival iPad

BERLIN (AP) — The German maker of a new tablet PC is setting out to rival Apple’s iPad with the promise of even more technology such as a bigger screen, a webcam and USB ports.

The touch screen WePad, however, is not an “iPad killer” as it has been dubbed by some blogs but an alternative to its bigger rival, Neofonie GmbH’s founder and managing director Helmut Hoffer von Ankershoffen told reporters on Monday in Berlin.

Ankershoffen stressed the system’s openness: Two USB-Ports allow users to connect all kinds of devices with the WePad, from external keyboards to data sticks.

People who want to put music on their WePad do not have to have any particular software, Ankershoffen said — a blow at Apple’s devices that require particular Apple software like iTunes.

The WePad’s basic version, which comes with WiFi and 16-gigabyte storage, is set to cost euro449 ($600), the larger 32-gigabyte version with a fast 3G modem is euro569.

Ankershoffen claimed that given its technological superiority and greater openness, “that’s a bargain compared with the iPad.” The iPad — which hit stores in the U.S. less than a month ago — is on sale there starting at $499 for

the smallest version, coming with Wi-Fi and a 16 GB storage.

The WePad is powered by an Intel chip and relies on a Linux software basis which is compatible with Google’s Android and all Flash applications, Ankershoffen said.

When it hits stores starting late July, it will also boast a complete open source office package, he said.

Berlin-based Neofonie — a small company of some 180 employees — claims it already has some 20,000 peo-

ple interested in signing up for a preorder, even though orders won’t be formally accepted before April 27.

Ankershofffen declined to give a sales estimate. “Not thousands, not tens of thousands but many more will be sold before the end of the year,” he said.

The device is to be assembled by a manufacturer in Asia — which Ankershoffen refused to name — who can prop up production capacity according to demand, he said.

March even as Toyota’s rose by $700.

Ford’s Mercury and Lincoln brands held on to their market share, but didn’t see increases. Pipas said the company put most of its marketing resources behind the Ford brand during the economic downturn.

“If we were going to fix the business, we had to fix the Ford brand, because that’s where we had the best chance of getting a return,” he said. “Now it’s up to us to make progress, now that we’re not thinking about where our next meal is going to come from.”

Pipas said the results likely won’t be repeated in subsequent quarters.

Ford’s sales to government, commercial and rental-car fleets shot up 80 percent in the first quarter after largely disappearing during the

economic downturn in the first quarter of 2009. Industrywide fleet sales rose 47 percent in the quarter, he said.

Pipas said fleet sales had begun to recover by the second quarter of last year, so comparisons won’t be as dramatic for the rest of this year.

But Pipas said that Ford was strong even without its fleet sales. Retail sales to individual customers rose 21 percent, compared with an industrywide retail sales increase of 8 percent.

Ford shares were unchanged $12.77 in early afternoon trading.

Dancers are (front left) Ashley Kalchik, Esmae Gold, Gigi Seagren, Sarah Boor; (middle row) Emily Reed, Jessica Scarlet, Jane Anthony, Lisa Chippi; (back row) Nathan Clubine, Ben Cheney and Shane Schmidt.

Local dancers perform for Room to Read ■ Performance will help build library in Vietnam

Rachel Brougham 439-9348 - rbrougham@petoskeynews.com

HARBOR SPRINGS — A group of dancers will do what they love to help those less fortunate on the other side of the world.

The dancers, who refer to themselves as the Bravo Crew, will perform a special Mother’s Day show titled “From Jump to Stomp” on Sunday, May 9, at the Harbor Springs Performing Arts Center. All proceeds will be used to build a library for children in Vietnam.

“Not only are these incredible dancers, they are so passionate about others and their heart is in the right place,” said Cynthia Anthony, founder and director of Bravo Productions.

Copeland Rudolph of Northern Michigan Mothers Acting Up and Jack Kukuk

of Dancers Without Borders approached Anthony about doing a fundraising project.

“We gave the dancers four different options of charities they could work with,” said Anthony. “The dancers asked incredible questions before making their decision.”

The dancers chose to work with Room to Read, an organization that builds libraries in impoverished countries.

“I let the older dancers choose the charity, and the younger dancers chose the location of Vietnam,” said Anthony.

By raising $4,000, the dancers would be able to have a library built and stocked, and pay for a full-time librarian.

“We chose the library project because we felt it could help more people,” said Shane Schmidt, 17. “A library is a main source for education and if we can help all those people with a library, we’re going to do it.”

The dancers, who range in age from 8-23 years old, have been working on the performance for a couple months.

The performance is a collaboration of disco, jazz, hip hop, ballet and tap, and ends with a piece from “Stomp.” The younger kids will also perform a Jackson 5 melody and are then joined on stage by the entire cast to perform Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.”

“All of us love performing for an audi-

ence, but what’s great is that we’re doing it for a great cause,” said Jane Anthony, 15. “We’ve been working hard on the show for a couple months now and we can’t wait to see how it all turns out. It’s going to be different, and that’s exciting.”

Following the high energy performance, the dancers will hold a tea party and shopping bazaar in honor of Mother’s Day. “I’m so proud of these dancers. They are caring and loving individuals who love being together and helping others,” said Anthony. “It’s beautiful to see the hard work they are putting into this event. We hope it becomes a yearly tradition.”

Tickets for “From Jump to Stomp” are $10 for adults and $5 for children. Tickets can be purchased at Crooked Tree Arts Center, McLean & Eakin and Horizon Books in Petoskey, and Between the Covers Bookstore in Harbor Springs.

EJ DECA students going to Louisville

Film group showing ‘Captain Abu Raed’ at Carnegie

EAST JORDAN — Two East Jordan High School students will soon join nearly 600 Michigan marketing students from 77 high schools and career centers to represent the state at an international marketing competition.

Morgan Skop and Kalie Tyree will participate in the Distributive Education Clubs of America’s (DECA) annual International Career Development Conference on Friday, April 23, in Louisville, Ky. The students earned the right to participate in the national event through their respective performance at the organization’s state-level event in mid-March in Dearborn.

During that event, four East Jordan marketing students including Morgan, Kalie, Hannah David and Maribeth Poindexter along with the rest of the participants, took a 100-question occupational test and performed two role plays. Each event averaged 60-75 students from all across Michigan.

Morgan qualified for the national competition by placing first in the principles of marketing event. Kalie placed second in retailing merchandising and she gained the opportunity to go to nationals when the person who placed first chose not to participate.

Hannah David also finished in the top 10 in food marketing and Kalie for her performance in one of her role plays.

The Petoskey Film Theater will be showing the film “Captain Abu Raed” at 7:30 p.m. today, Wednesday and Friday, April 14 and 16, at the Petoskey District Library, Carnegie building.

This film won the Sundance Audience Award for World Cinema.

“Captain Abu Raed” is a story of friendship, inspiration and heroism set in contemporary Jordan. Abu Raed is a lonely janitor at Amman’s International Airport. Never having realized his dreams of seeing the world, he experiences it vicariously through books and brief encounters with travelers. Finding a discarded Captain’s hat in the trash at work one day, he is followed by a neighborhood boy who spots him wearing it as he walks home.

The next morning he wakes up to find a group of neighborhood children at his door, believing him to be an airline pilot. And thus the friendship begins.

Murad, an angry outsider to the group, attacks Abu Raed and the sense of hope he instills in the children. In his quest to prove that Abu Raed is a liar and a fake, Murad begins to discover new possibilities in his life. Meanwhile, Abu Raed’s friendship with Nour, a real female pilot, begins to grow as she deals with her own set of pressures from life in modern Amman.

“Captain Abu Raed” is the story of everyday people intersecting across social boundaries.

BOYNE CITY — The Veteran of the Month for April 2010 is John Richard Homady.

Born on April 17, 1930, in Barnesboro, Pa., he grew up in Marsteller, Pa., and attended school in Spangler, Pa., graduating from Spangler High School in June of 1948.

On July 10, 1948, Homady enlisted in the Navy entering into active service in Pittsburgh, Pa., and following basic training at The U.S. Naval Training Center, Great Lakes, Ill., he was promoted to radioman seaman recruit.

On Oct. 20, 1948, he was transferred to radioman class “A� School, U.S. Naval Base, Norfolk, Va., and graduated on Feb. 26, 1949, and was assigned to the USS Norris (DDE 859), a destroyer escort class ship.

Homady was later reassigned to the USS Fiske (DD 842), a destroyer class ship, with ports of call in Venice, Italy, on Sept. 20, 1949, and later in China and Korea.

On July 9, 1952, at The U.S. Naval Training Station, Naval Base, Newport, R.I., Homady received an honorable discharge having attained the rating of radioman third class and was awarded the following decorations, medals, commenda-

home in Livonia, Mich.

always been how the county has operated.”

Emmet County Commission chairman Jim Tamlyn explained after the meeting that an extension will give the county and voters time to review what is needed in the way of capital assets such as ambulances or buildings, while still maintaining an ambulance service.

For example, Tamlyn said, if the county passes the renewal at 0.25 mills for operations, an additional capital millage request for 0.25 mills would allow the county to purchase buildings and new ambulances to be used by the providers.

Tamlyn said with the economic downturn in Northern Michigan, the county would be hard pressed to get voter approval on any millage increases during the upcoming August election.

Following a public meeting in March, there were multiple questions by the commissioners and residents about how much additional millage would be requested if the authority was created.

In recent years, the purchases of capital items such as new ambulances and expensive emergency life-support devices have been made through private donations. But, as the economy has begun to dry up,

so have some of the donations.

Allied EMS has a budget deficit of about $49,000 for 2010. It receives free space from the city of Petoskey for its operations and the building it leases at M-119 is under foreclosure by its owner.

Allied EMS re presentative George Korthauer said a figure has not yet been generated about what exactly will be needed in the future.

Korthauer said an internal audit taking three to six months would be needed to generate an accurate estimate of additional funding needed.

But, any millage estimates will also have to be factored in for the falling taxable values of property in the county this year and probably next, controller Johnson warns.

Under the about 5.2 percent drop projected in taxable value by the Emmet County Equalization office, the 0.25 mills would lose an additional $37,000 from the ambulance millage in 2010 and the number could be compounded if the taxable values fall next year.

The Emmet County Board of Commissioners is expected to revisit the issue of an ambulance millage renewal for the August ballot during the administrative meeting at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, May 11.

A proposed ambulance authority between Emmet County — with nonprofit Allied EMS — and the village of Mackinaw City has been postponed for a millage renewal in August. Pictured here is the ambulance garage at the Allied EMS location on M-119.

Quake in western China kills 400, injures more

BEIJING — A series of strong earthquakes struck a mountainous Tibetan area of wester n China on Wednesday, killing at least 400 people and injuring more than 10,000 as houses made of mud and wood collapsed, officials said. Many more people were trapped and the toll was expected to rise.

The largest quake was recorded by the U.S. Geological Survey as magnitude 6.9. In the aftermath, panicked people, many bleeding from their wounds, flooded the streets of a Qinghai province township where most of the homes had been flattened.

Students were reportedly buried inside several damaged schools.

Paramilitary police used shovels to dig through the rubble in the town, footage on state television showed. Officials said excavators were not available and with most of the roads leading to the nearest airport damaged, equipment and rescuers would have a hard time reaching the area. Hospitals were overwhelmed, many lacking even the most basic supplies, and doctors were in short supply.

Downed phone lines, strong winds and frequent aftershocks also hindered rescue efforts, said Wu Yong, a local military chief, who said the death toll “may rise further as lots of houses collapsed.”

With many people forced outside, the provincial government said it was rushing 5,000 tents and 100,000 coats and blankets to the mountainous region, where the average daily temperatures were around 43 degrees Fahrenheit (6 degrees Celsius).

Workers were racing to release water from a reservoir in the disaster area where a crack had formed after the quake to prevent a flood, according to the China Earthquake Administration.

The Wednesday quake, which struck at 7:49 a.m. local time

(2349 GMT, 7:49 p.m. EDT), was centered on Yushu county, in the southern part of Qinghai, near Tibet, with a population of about 100,000, mostly herders and farmers.

The USGS recorded six temblors in less than three hours, all but one registering 5.0 or higher. The China Earthquake Networks Center measured the largest quake’s magnitude at 7.1.

Qinghai averages more than five earthquakes a year of at least magnitude 5.0, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.

They nor mally do not cause much damage in the sparsely populated province.

Residents fled as the ground shook, toppling houses made of mud and wood, as well as temples, gas stations, electric poles and the top of a Buddhist pagoda in a park, witnesses and state media said. The quake also triggered landslides, Xinhua said.

The death toll rose to about 400 by afternoon, according to CCTV. Emergency official Pubucairen, who goes by only one name, was quoted as saying that the number of injured has risen to more than 10,000. The official said rescuers were treating the injured at hospitals, race tracks and sports stadiums.

Yushu and its environs are among the Tibetan areas caught up in the anti-government protests that swept the region in March 2008. Tensions simmered fo r s eve r a l m o n t h s, d u r i n g which China closed the region to foreigners for months.

CCTV reported that soon after the quake, troops secured banks, oil depots and caches of explosives.

The earthquake comes a little less than two years after a magnitude-7.9 quake in neighboring Sichuan province left almost 90,000 people dead or missing.

That quake flattened several schools, killing thousands of students. Poor design, shoddy construction and the lax enforcement of building codes were found to be rampant.

New laws in Neb. add restrictions on abortions Nate Jenkins Associated Press

LINCOLN, Neb. — Two first-of-their-kind laws in Nebraska put new restrictions on abortion, including one that uses a new legal rationale for a ban on later-term abortions.

That law bars the procedure at and after 20 weeks of pregnancy based on the assertion that fetuses can feel pain at that point. The other requires women be screened before having abortions for mental health issues and other risk factors indicating if they might have problems afterward.

A national abortion rights group already appeared to be girding for a legal challenge, calling the ban at or after 20 weeks “flatly unconstitutional.”

“It absolutely cannot survive a challenge without a change to three decades of court rulings,” said Nancy Northup, president of the Center for Reproductive Rights. “Courts have been chipping away at abortion rights ... this would be like taking a huge hacksaw to the rights.”

The law is designed to shut down one of the few doctors in the nation who performs them in Nebraska. Set to take effect in October, it is a change from the current standard in abortion restrictions based on viability, or when a fetus is able to survive outside the womb. That is generally at 22 to 24 weeks.

The law could lead to changes in other states if upheld by the courts, said Mary Spaulding Balch, legislative director for National Right to Life.

“It would broaden the interests of states in protecting the unborn child,” she said. “It says the state has an interest in the unborn child before viability.”

Both sides of the abortion debate say the laws are firsts of their kind in the U.S. The fetal-pain bill is partially aimed at Dr. LeRoy Carhart, who attracted attention after his friend and fellow late-term abortion provider Dr. George Tiller was shot to death by an abortion foe in Kansas last year.

Kansas lawmakers, worried that Carhart might move there,

has passed a bill awaiting action from Gov. Mark Parkinson, an abortion-rights Democrat. It would require doctors to list an exact medical diagnosis justifying a late-term abortion and adjust the definition of viability so a fetus would be considered viable if there’s a “reasonable probability” it would survive outside the womb with life-sustaining measures such as an incubator.

Also, it would codify a state rule that the required second opinion on whether late-term abortions are necessary come from doctors in Kansas.

Attempts to restrict abortion across the country aren’t unusual. In Oklahoma, for example, new laws on abortions have been approved this year, including a ban on abortions based on the gender of the child and tighter restrictions on the use of the RU-486 abortion pill. South Dakota voters in 2006 and 2008 turned down proposals to ban abortion outright.

The switch from viability to fetal pain in justifying abortion limits raises fresh legal issues.

Abortion opponents say a 2007 U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding a federal ban on certain late-term abortions opens the door for such legislation because it suggests states have an interest in protecting fetuses.

The argument used to justify the 20-week ban is based on the testimony of some doctors, some of it given during a 2005 congressional hearing. They contend there is substantial evidence that by 20 weeks, fetuses seek to evade stimuli in a way that indicates they are experiencing pain.

“The Nebraska Legislature has taken a bold step which should ratchet up the abortion debate across the nation,” Nebraska Right to Life director Julie Schmit-Albin said. “What we didn’t know in 1973 in Roe versus Wade ... we know now.”

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, however, says it knows of no legitimate evidence that fetuses experience pain at that stage.

“There is certainly no solid scientific evidence establishing that a fetus can perceive pain at these earlier stages, so any court decisions to uphold such broader laws could only do so

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman walks into the Governors Hearing Room in Lincoln, Neb., Tuesday to sign into law two landmark abortion bills that both sides of the abortion debate say are firsts in the country.

by disregarding the importance of good scientific evidence,” said Caitlin Borgmann, a law professor at The City University of New York.

The U.S. Supreme Court would have to overturn earlier abortion-related rulings to uphold the Nebraska law, Borgmann said, including a 1992 ruling in Planned Parenthood v. Casey that upheld the right of women to have abortions before fetuses were viable.

Play nice with daughter-in-law to get back into grandchildren’s lives

Dear Annie: Ever since my son met his wife 12 years ago, he has allowed her and her family to insult me. For example, her family held a party for my grandson’s first birthday at their home and included the entire family, plus my ex-husband and his fifth wife. Because the fifth wife doesn’t like me, I wasn’t invited. They did, however, have a second, tiny party so I could bring

my grandson a birthday present. My son went along with this insult.

They live 45 minutes away, and I am not permitted to stop by and visit. I must phone with a specific date and time, and my son will call back after he has checked to see whether it is OK with his wife. Every holiday is spent with her family.

The grandkids have never been to my house on Christmas Day. They are with her

parents and then at her aunt’s.

Two years ago, I had triple bypass surgery two days before Easter. My son Annie’s and daughterMailbox in-law stopped by the hospital to visit, and her parents called and said to hurry up because they were holding Easter dinner. Unbelievable.

Engagements

Frustrated Dear Devastated: We realize you don’t have a great relationship with your daughter-in-law, and although much of that may be her fault, you are not blameless.

No one should drop in on the kids without calling first.

Any comment posted on Facebook is fair game, and telling her aunt to MYOB was asking for trouble. You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar, Mom.

They have caller ID, and my daughter-in-law never picks up when I phone. I do, however, get calls from them when they want money. I recently posted a comment on Facebook that was directed at my son. Her aunt had the nerve to respond, so I wrote back that she should MYOB. Now my son says I am no longer allowed to see the grandchildren or come to their house. How do I deal with this? — Devastated and

Stop antagonizing your daughter-in-law and looking for reasons to be angry. Instead, find something to like about this woman and focus on it. Apologize for upsetting her. Respect their privacy.

Play nice even if it kills you.

It’s the only route back into their lives.

Zeigler signs four-year contract with CMU

Petoskey nets a tie on late goal

ELK RAPIDS — They controlled the majority of the game, but had to battle back to earn a tie.

Junior Holly Laser scored with five minutes left in regulation Tuesday as the Petoskey High School girls’ soccer team forged a 1-1 tie with Elk Rapids in a non-league game.

“We controlled 90 percent of the possessions, outshot Elk Rapids 22-2, and had a 7-to-1 edge in corner kicks,” said Petoskey Laser coach Zach Jonker, whose team is 0-1-1. “It was a great result for Elk Rapids and needless to say, we were disappointed given our statistical dominance.”

Olivia Morrison snuck a shot over the head of Petoskey goalkeeper Kate Johnson 15 minutes into the game to give the Elks, 2-01, a 1-0 lead. It remained that way until Laser finally got the Northmen on the board.

Laser’s goal came of a Megan Ling corner kick that deflected off two defenders and past Elk Rapids keeper Maggie Marshall.

“I expected our finishing to be a bit rusty coming straight off of spring break,” Jonker said. “But our futility given the quality of our chances was a bit disturbing.”

Jonker said the Northmen backline of Rachel Gutowski, Claire Audia, Hannah Chambers and Haley Batker did a nice job of shutting down the few threatening conterattacks Elk Rapids put together.

“Chelsea Naybeck provided a great spark offensively and delivered a couple of really dangerous crosses,” Jonker said.

Petoskey goes to Rockford for a non-league match on Saturday, April 17.

“We have identified finishing as an issue and luckily we have three straight days of practice to clean it up before we face Rockford, which is one of the top two or three teams in Grand Rapids this season,” Jonker said. “This group is committed to achieving the goals they identified at the beginning of the season and they understand we have some work to do in a couple of areas at practice to make sure we continue to improve in all aspects of the game.”

In the JV game, Petoskey Blue rolled past Elk Rapids, 8-0, as Lisa Dinon and Hayley Fettig had two goals apiece, and Kaitlyn OstrandSee SOCCER on PAGE B2

MOUNT PLEASANT — Central Michigan and men’s basketball coach Ernie Zeigler agreed to a new four-year contract.

The agreement replaces the final year of Zeigler’s current contract.

After holding onto a slim lead and pulling out a 4-3 win in the opener, Petoskey pounded out 15 hits in a 19-9 win in the nightcap to complete a season-opening high school baseball sweep of Mancelona Tuesday at Turcott Field.

Senior centerfielder Grant Tracy hit a leadoff home run in the opener, then senior Kevin Thompson and junior Tyler Romanick each homered in the nightcap to fuel Petoskey.

“As a coaching staff, we weren’t surprised with the way we swung the bat. We were disappointed with the way we fielded the ball though, and we’ll go right back to work with that.”

— Shawn Racignol Petoskey coach that.”

Tyler Smyley’s fifth-inning sacrifice fly proved to be the difference in the opener. Smyley’s RBI

gave Petoskey a 4-2 lead, which the Ironmen sliced to 4-3 with a solo homer in the sixth.

Senior left-hander Hunter Keiswetter gave up four hits, walked two and struck out 12 in going the distance for the victory.

Petoskey was held to just three hits in the opener, singles by Taylor Golding and Dennis Kan along with Tracy’s round-tripper. Romanick drew a pair of walks.

“We had to push across a couple of runs and manufacture some offense,” Racignol said. “We looked like we’d be able to score early on, but it came down to a timely hit and that’s something we’ll need to have throughout the season.”

TORONTO — After finishing with a league-low 62 points, the Edmonton Oilers have won the NHL draft lottery for the first overall pick in June.

The Oilers (27-47-8) came into the annual lottery Tuesday with a 25 percent chance of securing the top pick in the June 25-26 draft. It will mark the first time Edmonton picks first.

Boston will pick second after acquiring Toronto’s firstround pick in an off-season trade that sent Phil Kessel to the Maple Leafs. Florida will select third, followed by Columbus and the New York Islanders — who picked first in 2009. Tampa Bay, Carolina, Atlanta, Minnesota and the New York Rangers round out the top 10.

NASCAR

Kahne to drive for Hendrick Motorsports CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Kasey Kahne has completed a deal to drive for Hendrick Motorsports in 2012 but still needs to iron out his plans for next season, The Associated Press has learned.

A person familiar with Kahne’s plans spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity Tuesday because portions of Kahne’s deal are still being worked out.

Most notably, it’s not clear where Kahne will drive in 2011. HMS is currently at NASCAR’s four-car limit, and Kahne is working out a deal to succeed Mark Martin in the No. 5 car in 2012. Martin has one more season left on an extension he signed last year, and owner Rick Hendrick plans to honor that deal.

Earlier in the day, Richard Petty Motorsports announced that Kahne informed them he’s leaving the team at the end of this season.

NBA

League revokes father’s voting privilege NEW YORK — The NBA has taken away Charlotte Bobcats broadcaster Dell Curry’s rookie of the year vote because his son is among the leading candidates for the award.

Curry’s son, Stephen Curry, is averaging 17.2 points and 5.9 assists per game for Golden State. He and Kings guard Tyreke Evans, who is averaging 20.3 points and 5.8 assists, are considered the front-runners to be top rookie.

“Oh, he’s voting for Tyreke,” Stephen Curry joked after his team’s 103-94 loss to the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night. “That’s good for me then. ... Just to be in that conversation is great for me.”

NBA spokesman Tim Frank said Dell Curry would be allowed to vote for all the other postseason awards, but the league did not want to put him in an awkward position with the rookie award.

Dell Curry played 16 seasons in the NBA with five teams.

Tigers rally again, top Royals DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Tigers know they can’t expect to keep overcoming big deficits.

For the moment, though, they’re going to keep enjoying the results.

On Tuesday, the Tigers scored WHO: six runs in Royals at the seventh Tigers to beat the KanWHEN: 1:05 sas City p.m. today, Royals 6-5 Wednesday — the secTV: FSD ond time RADIO: in three days that WMKT-AM Detroit 1270, 92.1 had won FM despite trailing 5-0.

“We were able to score runs late again,” said Johnny Damon, who singled and scored during the latest rally. “Hopefully, sometime this year we can score some runs early and make it easier on our pitchers, but the fact that we are going out and winning these games says a

lot about our team.”

Jose Guillen hit his fourth home run in three games as the Royals took a 5-0 lead against Dontrelle Willis and the Detroit bullpen. But just like Sunday, when the Tigers fell behind 5-0 to Cleveland, they recovered to win.

The Tigers (6-2) are now 4-1 in games when they trail after six innings — a trend that manager Jim Leyland doesn’t figure to continue.

“This is a team that is going to play nine innings, and that’s a good thing,” he said.

“But I can certainly assure you that if you put yourself into situations like this all year, you aren’t going to win.

It just won’t happen.”

Royals manager Trey Hillman, meanwhile, was again searching for answers from his bullpen. Starter Brian Bannister left with one out in the seventh and a 5-1 lead, only to see three relievers give away the game in a span of seven hitters.

Bannister hadn’t allowed a runner into scoring position through six innings, but Hill-

man took him out after Brandon Inge walked and Gerald Laird hit an RBI double.

Scott Sizemore hit Roman Colon’s second pitch for a run-scoring double and with two outs, Austin Jackson pulled the Tigers within 5-3 with Detroit’s third RBI double in four batters.

Dusty Hughes (0-1) came in, but didn’t retire either batter he faced, leaving Juan Cruz to face Miguel Cabrera with the bases loaded. A four-pitch walk brought in Detroit’s fourth run, and Carlos Guillen hit a two-run double on the next pitch to put Detroit up 6-5.

“I think we knew that, with the way Bannister was pitching, our best chance was probably to get to their bullpen,” Jackson said. “That’s the key to beating a lot of good ballclubs. You don’t always want to be playing from behind like this, but we have confidence that, no matter what point it is in the game, we have a chance to come back.”

Reliever Joel Zumaya (2-0) picked up the win and Jose Valverde got his second save.

Actually, those other vehicles indicate the opposite – keep driving. Get away from the road and other pickers. Take along a compass or a hand-held GPS so you can get back to your vehicle. The GPS may also be used to store any great location you find – it may be just as good next year, if you don’t harvest all of the mushrooms.

Work uphill and in valleys or ravines If you are walking uphill most of the time, your eyes are closer to the things you’re looking for and the task becomes easier. Rolling country, somehow, seems to nurture more mushrooms than flat land. If you can find little valleys or ravines, these can be especially good.

The ravines often hold extra quantities of leaf debris, which rots and makes fertile soil for the growth of mushrooms.

Hunt near the right trees Certain trees seem to shelter more mushrooms and there is no question that if you look under the best trees, you will improve your harvest. There is some disagreement about what the best trees, but there are proponents for each one mentioned below. My fishing partner is a very successful mushroomer and he invariably looks for a big ash tree before he starts hunting.

Others look for small groves of mature aspens (locally called “popples”).

Still others like to find an ancient dead elm – those can stand for decades after they are dead and they can shelter lots of “shrooms.

DRAWING COURTESY OF GAIL INNES

You can find morels more easily by following a few simple guidelines.

Cover a lot of ground, initially Save much of your energy until you have located a good area for finding morels. Move right along until you find the promised land. When you have located a few, however, begin to search much more carefully.

As a rule, if you find a few, you can find many more in the same area. Two areas you can avoid are low, swampy ground and really sandy soil. Mushrooms will grow in sand, almost pure sand, but they will pick up that sand as they grow up through the crust of the soil

ing to spot some birds out feeding in a crop field or woodsy meadow.

There are still leftover licenses available for the second hunt in our Area J which starts a week later on April 26. With 1,118 licenses available for overthe-counter sales as of Monday, it seems likely some of those will still be on sale when that second season opens.

There seems to be two reasons for this situation.

One is a lot of the downstaters that once came up here to hunt are staying home now with more turkeys there than here.

Second, the third season, the so-called “guaranteed hunt period” is gaining in popularity and many hunters are opting for that hunt since they don’t need to go through the lottery to get a license.

The outlook for the spring turkey season is pretty good with at least as many birds as last year and perhaps a few more. Hunters can expect to find the hens are nesting much earlier this year and that may affect

their hunting tactics. Hunters can expect the hens will leave the gobblers by midto-late morning, and that will make the gobblers vulnerable to calling as they seek additional company.

Dave at Young’s in Alanson reports suckers are being caught around the locks on the Crooked River in Alanson now. The best action he could report is perch fishing on Drummond Island.

Many of his minnow customers over the weekend were heading for the island. Anglers continue to take some steelhead at the mouth of the Bear River in Petoskey. This fishing should improve every day that we get some rain showers. Both the increase in the river’s flow and the overcast skies are good for steelhead fishing.

Kevin at the Pickerel Lake Party Shoppe reports only a few anglers getting out and they are after perch and getting some. The fishing is still called slow.

Mushroom hunters in the area are finding only a few small morels.

Dave at East Main Bait and Tackle in Boyne City reports suckers are coming into the rivers now and they are attracting some attention. While many may turn up their noses at suckers, they are fun to catch (especially when there is nothing else to fish for) and rather good to eat if they are prepared properly.

There is some perch action on Lake Charlevoix with some boats seeking the yellow-bellies in Raspberry Bay. Perch anglers are also after them out on Lake Michigan off Medusa.

Dave says the perch they are catching there are large (to 14-15 inches), but they are not available in big numbers.

Larry at Pat and Gary’s in Indian River reports there are suckers in the river now along with some steelhead. The steelhead fishing on the Sturgeon River has been good.

Tom at Tom’s Tackle in East Jordan reports perch fishing on Lake Charlevoix is pretty slow. His party was all over the lake over the lake on the weekend

and they talked to many an angler. None had very many fish and they were unanimous in pronouncing the fishing poor.

Tom says the steelhead fishing on the Jordan River has also been poor with few fish up in the river and few fish at the mouth. The one bright spot in the area has been the fishing for bluegill and crappie on the chain of lakes around Ellsworth.

That fishing has been good with the fish in relatively shallow water.

Tom says the cormorants are back on Lake Charlevoix in big numbers. He also cited some confusion regarding the recent ruling by a judge in Gaylord.

Some folks think she ruled on baiting and that will end the ban on baiting.

Actually, she ruled on one particular case of deer feeding below a bird feeder and no wider implications are expected. Tom urges anglers to get in now to get their reel filled and not wait until opening day, when all the bait shops will be very busy – too busy to fill reel spools.

License, catch changes aim to boost fishing, tourism state and brings money from outside the state,” he said. “I get customers from all across the nation. They want to come and spend the weekend and take more than just a single day’s catch of fish home with them.

“People are spending more time doing the things they have a passion and a lifestyle for,” he said. “Lake Superior is the world’s largest wilderness lake. It’s spectacular.”

Johnson said he’s upset that it was the Legislature, not the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, that changed the catch limits.

“It’s a crying shame we have to have legislation to get our DNRE to do anything,” he said. “This is very important for the people of

Michigan.”

The extra two-day possession limit will benefit mostly weekend vacationers, said Todd Grischke of the Department of the DNRE’s Fisheries Division.

“If they catch their limit in one day, they can freeze those fish, and then go out the next day and catch another day’s limit and not break the law,” he said.

The change addresses the catch limits of many species, including salmon and northern pike, both with a one-day limit of five; whitefish, with a maximum of 12; and rainbow trout, with a limit of 10.

But the fish that’s got anglers buzzing about the chang es is the walleye, Grischke said.

“It’s one of the most popular food fish,” he said. “Bass, for example, are a species that are most often caught and released.

“When you look at those two species and compare them, people would have a much higher interest in harvesting and keeping walleye.”

Grischke said that possession limits are intended to keep species at a healthy number and to ensure all anglers get their fair share.

“Most of the possession limits are there to make sure that there’s an equitable distribution of natural resources,” he said. “Some of the limits are in place to protect the species from over-harvest. In some cases, where walleye are spawning, they

get backed up against barriers and they kind of become a nuisance. We do have harvesting seasons to help with that.”

Geoff Steinhart, a fisheries professor at Lake Superior State University, said that catch limits are also enforced for biological reasons.

“Sometimes catch limits may be adjusted to encourage faster growth,” he said.

Jack Prelutsky is a widely known poet; his poetry is celebrated by many as a vivid part of children’s literature.

Mr. Prelutsky started his career in his early twenties.

“I tried all the arts: potting, painting, sculpting, drawing.”

Once, while drawing pictures Mr. Prelutsky wrote poems to go with them. “I took them to my editor and she told me they were good poems, but the pictures were horrible.”

She encouraged him to continue writing poems.

Jack Prelutsky mostly works in a home office in Washington State.

He has no formula for writing because each poem is different. “How does a chef know when a dish is done?” he asked. “He smells it, he hears, he tastes, but mostly he feels it. That is how you know when a poem is done—by feeling it.”

Prelutsky continued to write poems for a living and eventually became America’s first Children’s Poet Laureate. “I was quite

Other books he has written include: My Dog May be a Genius, A Pizza the Size of the Sun, Scranimals and many, many, many more! He likes to play word games and do crossword puzzles. He’s also working on new projects, including poetry books and an opera.
