CADILLAC A Cadillac man has been arrested and charged in Wexford County after allegedly operating an organized ring in which he allowed shoplifters to live at his residence in exchange for stolen merchandise. Harold James Bates, 37, has been arraigned in 84th District Court on one count of organized retail crime, as well as bribing, intimidating or interfering with
a witness. The kind of crime Bates is alleged to have committed is so new that it has only been defined as such by state lawmakers since the beginning of April, according to Wexford County Prosecuting Attorney Anthony Badovinac. It is punishable by up to five years in prison. Bates allegedly encouraged a handful of people to steal items from local stores such as Meijer, Wal-Mart and Rite Aid, Badovinac said. The stolen items in-
cluded blankets, shoes, movies, pots, pans, television, radios, coffee makers and even horse tack. There was a particular focus on fishing equipment. Bates, who also received help from his wife, Caila Lynn Bates, 30, would allegedly sell the stolen merchandise on online sites such as Craigslist. Caila Bates, who also has been charged with organized retail crime, has a habitual offender, third notice, which means any sentence she may receive could be doubled if she is convicted.
Also working with Bates and facing one count of organized retail crime, according to court records, is Cathryn Ann-Marie Rhodes, 20, of Cadillac. Harold Bates also is charged with interfering with witnesses for allegedly warning the individuals he was working with not to speak about their illegal business relationship. Given a habitual offender, second notice, if convicted, Harold Bates could face up to 7 1/2 years on the shoplifting charge and/or
up to six years on the charge of bribing, intimidating or interfering with a witness. Badovinac noted his office has seen a sharp increase in the number of shoplifting cases, but also has had better results in prosecuting such cases thanks to upgraded surveillance methods at local stores. Higher resolution cameras are producing images more suited to identifying suspects and are ultimately assisting in prosecution.

Cadillac Police Officer Lance Taylor pets his K-9 partner, Sage, while getting ready to go out on patrol recently. Despite a rash of incidents this summer, Cadillac Police officials say violent crime is on the decline in the city.
series of violent incidents this summer has left some Cadillac residents wondering if their beloved city is still safe.
If you look at the statistics, however, violent crimes such as assaults, sexual assaults and murder have been dropping in recent years, and law enforcement officials in Cadillac expect the numbers to keep dropping this year.
Statistics offer little comfort to those who have been affected by those various crimes. Find out what law enforcement officials say the public can do to actually help the city be safer.
CADILLAC A driver was involved in a minor crash after driving through the roundabout at the intersection of 13th Street and Plett Road early Wednesday . The incident, which occurred around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday , was similar to the first crash reported after the intersection opened last

year. Both crashes involved only one vehicle. It is the third incident at the intersection since it opened last year. Wexford County Road Commission Manager Alan Cooper said the drivers vehicle suffered two flat tires and a fluid leak in Wednesdays crash, but there were no injuries. He also said it was his understanding the driver was given a citation.
They were not drunk, but they also werent paying attention to their surroundings, Cooper said. The first crash at the structure occurred in September 2012, about a month after the roundabout opened. While that crash resulted in a broken yield sign and ruts in the center median, the driver fled the scene and did not report the incident to police.
The second, according to the Wexford County Sheriff s Department, was a hit-and-run crash where one motorist bumped into the back of another and fled the scene. That crash was also minor. During the two years prior to the opening of the roundabout, nine crashes occurred at the intersection of Plett Road and 13th Street. For more, turn to A2
CADILLAC Growth from building new stores as well as gearing up for holiday hiring means the Cadillac Meijer store is poised to hire dozens of new employees. The retailer is hiring about 40 to 50 employees at its Cadillac location at 8605 34 Road in Haring Township. Grand Rapids-based Meijer recently announced it was hiring more than 9,000 employees in five states, including 4,400 in Michigan. Spokesman Frank Guglielmi said they are hiring primarily permanent part-time workers, with some being hired now and others in anticipation of the busy holiday season. Positions are open at many stores, in part because experienced employees are used to open other stores. In some cases, employees may take advantage of moving to another store that has opened closer to their home, also creating openings, Guglielmi said. Those interested in applying can log into the online hiring system at the stores employment kiosk or apply online at jobs.meijer.com.

LAKE CITY With the district facing a deficit of about $1 million, multiple staff cuts have been approved by the Lake City Public Schools Board of Education to make the 2013-2014 budget more manageable. One middle school teaching position was eliminated, along with
two paraprofessionals. Previously , an assistant principal position also was cut from the elementary school. Superintendent Kim Blaszak said with budget deficits as large as they were this year, the only way to bring them down substantially is through personnel cuts. The recent resignation of elementary teacher Melanie
Stoddard created a void that was filled by a teacher from the middle school, allowing that position to be eliminated without a staff cut. The two paraprofessional positions one elementary office aide and one middle school health aide were contracted positions the board voted to not renew. With these cuts and other staff
adjustments, Blaszak was able to trim $352,734. She expects the deficit for the final amended budget to be $534,308 rather than the initial projection of $1 million. As a result of the elimination of the middle school teacher position, classroom sizes in the sixth grade will be around 28 instead of 22 or 23 like they were last year.
Although sixth-grade class sizes will be bigger than they were a year ago, Blaszak said they will be comparable to class sizes for all the other middle school grade levels. Blaszak said she expects classroom sizes will continue to grow as schools work to balance their educational responsibilities with their fiscal realities.

CADILLAC This summer, there have been more than a few issues with crime and safety in the Cadillac area. Various assaults have occurred, and residents report being intimidated by groups of people gathering together in various locations in downtown Cadillac and in the city park. In spite of these things, Cadillac Police Capt. Matt Wohlfeill said, at least on paper, violent crime is trending downward in the city . For example, Wohlfeill said there were a total of 985 violent crimes such as manslaughter, homicide, criminal sexual conduct, robbery, assault intimidating, stalking, disorderly conduct and disturbing public peace in 2011. He added that an overwhelming majority of those crimes were assaults and CSCs. Wohlfeill said there were 908
of these crimes in 2012, a drop of roughly 8 percent. For 2013, Wohlfeill took the number of violent crimes committed during the first six months of the year and multiplied that by two. That led to an estimated 814 violent crimes in 2013, which would be an 11 percent drop from 2012. Why do some people think violent crime is on the upswing? Wohlfeill said it has more to do with perception than reality . In the summertime, these things come out more, he said. People are not confined to residences like in the winter time. There are similar things happening in the winter, but they are not seen. The numbers show what is being reported to us is going down. Wohlfeill understands the concern and said there are ways people can help police other than the formation of neighborhood watch groups, as they tend to lose steam and disband due

to time constraints of members and other factors. He said the most important thing for anyone to do is call the police right away if they see something they believe is suspicious. Most of the time, the people living in a neighborhood will know when something is not right before the police because they know their streets, their neighbors and what is common behavior. So many times, we have people come in and say, We saw something that was going on yesterday, he said. So why didnt you come in yesterday? People feel it is a bother to us or we might get angry. We would rather go to 10 calls and get nothing than miss one call we really needed to get to. Another way to make a community a safer place is for neighbors to get to know each other. That way, there is another set of eyes watching over your home and belongings and viceversa.
Wohlfeill said taking away easy opportunities for criminals also is key . Finally, if you are walking down the street and you see someone coming in the other direction and you get the infamous bad feeling, heed the warning and go in another direction or cross the street. We tell people, if you see a situation and your gut tells you something is not right, then walk away from it, he said.

REED CITY Reed City City Manager Ron Howell says rumors of problems with the citys water are greatly exaggerated. Speculation about the safety of water in the citys four wells began swirling Tuesday after a residents water tested positive for what Howell says are trace amounts of bacteria. Howell said he was not sure what caused the bacterial findings but indicated
it could be caused by old piping or plumbing and was isolated to the one residence. Scott Borradson of the Cadillac Department of Environmental Quality confirmed that he tested water from a residents pipes and that there was evidence of bacteria in the one location. Borradson said that the water in the city was within the safe zone for drinking and other purposes. However, Howell said word quickly spread that there was an issue with
bacteria flowing from the city wells, something Howell said is not true. On Monday , we sampled water from all four wells and the city hall and near the hospital, and the water was perfectly safe, said Howell. On Wednesday, the citys district water engineer met with engineers from Yoplait-General Mills to discuss the findings, to determine if the water was safe for Yoplaits manufacturing purposes. Howell said all are satisfied that the water is safe.
We have the city and the state on top of this situation, and residents can feel assured that there is no problem with the city water supply , said Howell. Howell noted that any resident still concerned with the safety of the water can request the city test a sample. The potential water issue comes one month after city employee Dave Belden was relieved of his duties as the operator in charge of maintaining the citys water system. Belden, a certified wa-
ter tester, was reassigned back to the citys Department of Public Works to focus on other city projects. The move was made after Howell outlined the annual city staffing plan, which included a recommendation that the job of a certified water technician be outsourced to save money and allow Belden more time to focus on other city projects. At last months Reed City City Council meeting, numerous residents spoke up to voice concern about out-
sourcing the water maintenance responsibilities. Why would you want to outsource our meter reading? asked Larry Yant, a Reed City resident. People know and trust Dave (Belden). At the meeting, Howell said the new water and DPW changes will be a temporary trial period and nothing permanent has been decided. This is the time to evaluate and see how it works for the best interest of the city , said Howell.

Charges
Continued from A1 It was June 30 when Salisbury and others allegedly broke into a home in Clam Lake Township, where a safe was cracked and money and property were stolen. Also charged in the case are Nicholas James Faber, 33, of Tustin, Nicholas Scott Southwick, 30, of Cadillac, and Andrew Lynn Heeg, 30, of Lake. According to Wexford County Prosecuting Attorney Anthony Badovinac, Salisbury and Faber were discovered in the parking lot of the Haring Township Meijer after allegedly stealing Fabers fathers car. Faber stood mute in Circuit Court to charges
of home invasion, receiving and concealing stolen property, larceny, possessing a firear m in the commission of a felony, and malicious destruction of property as well as safebreaking, which alone is punishable by up to life in prison. A not guilty plea has been entered on his behalf. Southwick faces charges of conspiracy to commit home invasion, home invasion, and larceny in a building. Given status as a habitual offender with a fourth notice, he could face a life sentence on both the conspiracy and the home invasion charge. Heeg has been arraigned on charges of home invasion, conspiracy to commit home invasion and larceny .

Roundabout
Continued from A1 Five of those crashes occurred in 2010, and all of them were personal injury crashes of varying degrees. None, however, were fatal. The remaining four crashes occurred in 2011, with all falling under the category of personal injury crashes. Again, none were fatal. These statistics included incident reports from the Cadillac Police Department, Wexford County Sheriff s Department and the Cadillac Post of the Michigan State Police. Even though the roundabout has been open for a year, it appears that some drivers are still not sure how to use the structure, and some residents have argued that it was not a wise investment. The roundabout itself
cost roughly $325,000 to construct and was part of a project that also included the construction of a new box culvert, which cost about $200,000. The project also included the widening and repaving of Plett Road which cost about $475,000. Although the project was mostly funded by a safety grant and some small urban funding, matching funds from the county and city of Cadillac were needed. The county contributed $150,000 while the city of Cadillac contributed $60,000. The contributions went toward engineering costs as well as for part of the roundabout construction. Cooper said there are 32 turning conflicts in a standard intersection with either a signal or stop sign where drivers can collide, while there are only eight in a roundabout. For that reason, there is a safety
benefit to a roundabout. In a few short weeks, the second roundabout in the Cadillac area will be built at the intersection of M-115 and M-37 just south of Mesick. In March, Michigan Department of Transportation officials held a meeting to address residents concerns about the now-completed Sherman Hill as well as the roundabout. During the meeting, it was stated that safety engineers reviewed ideas such as estab-
lishing a traffic signal prior to the decision to build the roundabout, which is considered by traffic engineers to be the safest way to reduce the risk of crashes. The cost of the Mesick roundabout has been estimated at $1.4 million. As a result of the March meeting, it was determined the biggest concern for residents is the functionality of the roundabout and that some are unsure of how to maneuver the structure.

Work is being done on the Clam River Dam that will allow for control of the opening and closing of the device.
CADILLAC A Cadillac man has been charged with attempted first-degree home invasion tied to an incident Tuesday in Cadillac, according to court records. Alejandro James Pena, 20, was arraigned in 84th District Court Wednesday. If convicted, Pena could face up to five years in prison and/or a fine of up to $5,000.
CADILLAC Additional controls are being installed in the Clam River Dam as part of a series of upgrades being done this summer. Wexford County Drain Commissioner Mike Solomon said earlier this year he requested clarification from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality regarding the opening and closing of the dam. He said he received notification indicating there was nothing preventing the drain commissioner from controlling the entire dam structure. We are putting in a little control device in the middle of the dam so we can control the 12-by-12 hole that is cast in the dam, he said. How much increased control it will give us is up for debate.
The present dam on the Clam River was constructed in 1974 to control the levels of lakes Cadillac and Mitchell. It has been inspected every three years by a licensed engineer but has had no significant documented repairs. During the last inspection in 2012, however, several shortcomings were revealed that needed to be addressed. The work includes removal of trees and other woody vegetation near the core of the dam, which tend to cause holes. The removal and replacement of fencing on the east and west wing walls will prevent further damage. Damaged concrete also has been removed to prevent additional freeze/ thaw damage. Finally, fence post holes in the concrete were plugged where removal is not practical to prevent damage. The second phase of work includes
replacing lower cable clamps with stainless steel clamps to prevent corrosion, repairs to existing top arms on the eastern bay of the dam as well as the design and installation of a stop log system in the center portion of the dam to provide better control of low water conditions. Finally, Solomon said the work will replace downstream fencing and provide gated access to the center bay of the dam. The cost of the work is being split evenly by the city of Cadillac and Wexford County, and the total cost is estimated at $15,000 to $20,000. Court Order 585 issued by Judge William Peterson in 1967 sets the annual maximum level at 1,290 feet; the minimum winter level is 1,288.9 feet, and the summer minimum level is 1,289.7 feet.

K-12 schools and local governments would lose $850 million a year if the sales tax on fuel is designated for transportation. From a strategic standpoint, its believed legislators could have an easier time convincing voters to pass a sales tax hike if it were sold as a way to save schools or even increase education funding instead of improving deteriorating roads.
They arent saying publicly how much of an education funding increase should be guaranteed in a roads deal. Upon hearing Whitmers prediction that an agreement on a ballot proposal is unlikely by early September, a spokesman for Republican House Speaker Jase Bolger of Marshall, expressed disappointment. Its only unlikely if the Democrats continue to make unreasonable demands and insist on seeing a tax proposal that doubles the cost to Michigan families, Ari Adler said. He said another option being floated is lowering the sales tax and expanding it to cover services. Michigans main transportation fund is at its lowest level in 30 years when adjusted for inflation because people are driving less and with more fuel-efficient cars while the flat 19-cents-per-gallon gasoline tax is the same as it was 15 years ago. In his February budget proposal, Snyder called for raising fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees by $1.2 billion. But the politically unpopular plan wasnt embraced in the Legislature, and legislators instead took $230 million in unexpected one-time tax revenue and earmarked it for roads. It would be an overstatement to say we are on the cusp of an agreement, said House Minority Leader Tim Greimel, an Auburn Hills Democrat. We certainly believe that education funding is every bit as important or more important than additional road funding. But we also want to make sure were not unduly burdening middle-class and lowincome working families with additional taxes and fees after
the governor and legislative Republicans have already increased taxes and fees over the past two years. In exchange for putting a sales tax proposal before voters, Democrats also want a repeal of a law guaranteeing better wages on government construction projects taken off the table. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Wayne Schmidt, a Traverse City Republican who supports a road funding increase to get highways up to par and create jobs, said lowering the sales tax and broadening the base was poisoned by the ill-fated passage and repeal of a tax on services in 2007. He doesnt think it will gain much traction. The real question comes down to: Are there votes to do the sales tax increase? Schmidt said.
This May 2012 photo provided by the U.S. Geological Survey shows ancient carvings on limestone boulders in northern Nevadas high desert near Pyramid Lake. The carvings have been confirmed to be the oldest recorded petroglyphs in North America at least 10,500 years old. The findings were published this month in the Journal of Archaeological Science. This site was once the shoreline of the now dried up Winnemucca Lake.
cans they will tell you they were made (created) there and that is obviously their people and their artwork, Jenkins said. But approaching it from a scientific point of view what we can prove at this point, it is impossible to connect these to any tribal group. William Cannon, a longtime archaeologist for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management who discovered the petroglyphs at Long Lake in Oregon, brought the Nevada site to Hattoris attention years ago. He said they bore similarities to petroglyphs at nearby Winnemucca Lake, and Hattori began connecting the dots after Benson spotted the carbonate coating on the rocks. The etchings in Nevada and Oregon have relatively deep, carved lines dominated by linear, curved and circular geometrical designs. Some feature tree-form designs with a series of evenly spaced, vertically oriented V shapes bisected by a vertical line. Researchers have suggested the etchings represent various meteorological symbols, such as clouds and lightning, perhaps the Milky Way . But we really have nothing to go on for these particular petroglyphs that go back 10,000 or more years, Hattori said Wednesday . Benson has no idea what they mean. When I looked at it, I said, These things are
incredibly beautiful. We have so much beautiful, old Native American stuff in the United States, but this shows it didnt necessarily get more interesting or more pretty with time, he said. Ben Aleck, a co-author of the study who is the collection manager at the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribes Museum and Visitor Center in Nixon, said Wednesday he could not comment without permission from tribal leaders.

The First Amendment is a daily Opinion Page feature compiled by The Freedom Forum, an organization dedicated to defending freedom of speech and press.
Carolina Central University . Nowhere is Americas civil religion on more vivid display than in the modern celebration of the civil rights era. The historic struggle to achieve equality through law is almost universally recalled in religious terms. It is surely not coincidental, for instance, that Taylor Branchs monumental history of America during the civil rights movement, for which he won the Pulitzer Prize, was titled Parting the Waters. Today , the veterans of the civil rights era are routinely celebrated for having done Gods work, deploying the rule of law to vindicate his will on Earth. Perhaps nothing illustrates this better than Chambers eulogy , delivered by his friend and longtime law partner James Ferguson: I saw him walking up the hill with Abraham, Martin and John. But Bellah knew only too well that Americas civil religion has not always been invoked in favor of worthy causes. As much as we may wish it otherwise, the religious language of national identity can just as easily sanctify something wretched as exalted. The language of civil religion has been invoked to justify every dark chapter in U.S. history , from the slaughter of Native Americans to discrimination
and nativism to our periodic military misadventures. Likewise, todays celebration of the civil rights era should not blind us to the reality of the times, when civil rights workers were threatened, beaten and killed by those who understood Americas civil religion in far darker terms. Chambers found himself on the receiving end of this violence; his home, office and car were all firebombed. Americas civil religion will be with us always, but we must listen to the form it takes. Today , tens of millions of Americans merge an angry God with a chest-thumping nationalism to justify endless misadventures in the war on terror, thereby giving political cover for the apparently limitless expansion of the national security state. As the late Sen. William Fulbright warned nearly 50 years ago, power tends to confuse itself with virtue, and a great nation is peculiarly susceptible to the idea that its power is a sign of Gods favor. This is again the greatest challenge to Americas civil religion, and if recent events are any indication, the future is ominous. Robert Bellah and Julius Chambers would have understood it perfectly well.

He wrote this for the Los Angeles Times.

around the country are facing. In big cities like Denver, Los Angeles and Miami, as well as in the rural parts of states like Texas, Georgia and Iowa, the integration of immigrants into local schools, as well as their advancement to graduation, is a major undertaking. So, how to deal with this challenge once students make it past the office of people like Amanda Clymer? A big part of the answer is for schools to have parenting programs and/or liaisons that engage immigrant mothers and fathers in educating their children. This means way more than attending parent-teacher nights or school functions, although those matter. Effective parenting programs and skilled liaisons teach immigrant parents how to approach teachers, work with their children on assignments and navigate the process of applying to college and financial aid. Another part of this challenge is helping students master English fast. Unfortunately, that is not always easily done. A series of essays this summer in the American Educator, published by the
American Federation of Teachers, discussed strategies to help foreign-born students acquire English. The bottom line is there is no clear roadmap to get students up to speed fast in English. Some elements help, like clear instruction and good classroom routines. But much remains unclear. In short, we have many promising leads but not a very good understanding of how to help ELs (English learners) learn high-level academic content and skills despite limited English proficiency, wrote Stanfords Claude Goldenberg, an education professor. With the national Common Core standards ratcheting up expectations for students in many states, this shortcoming will matter even more. The immigration bill that Washington will return to in September does not get into education, per se. But the work of educators like Clymer will greatly shape how well immigrants now and in the future become part of American culture. Many of those families have high expectations, but they need schools and educators like Clymer guiding their children into the mainstream of American life. William McKenzie is an editorial columnist for The Dallas Morning News.

Nearly 18,000 state employees dont have to contribute 4 percent of their pay to get full pension benefits in retirement because a Republican-backed law requiring the paycheck deductions is unconstitutional, the Michigan appeals court ruled.
before April 1997 qualify for a defined benefit pension plan. Those hired since then about 33,000, or two-thirds, of current workers are in a defined contribution 401(k)-style plan. Snyder is considering whether to appeal to the Michigan Supreme Court. No decision has been made as of yet, but the state must remain focused on resolving the long-term liabilities that these retirement reforms have helped solved, said Kurt Weiss, spokesman for Snyders budget office. He said the state has collected $59 million in pension deductions since April 2012. The law gave employees with pensions a choice: pay 4 percent to stay in the plan or freeze the pension benefit and move to a 401(k). All but 600 of 17,800 eligible workers chose to make the contribution, said Weiss, who said employees werent being asked to contribute toward their pension before passage of the law. The appeals court mostly upheld an Ingham County judges opinion last year that found the
pension changes to be unconstitutional, including a provision that treated overtime pay differently for purposes of calculating pensions. Instead of declaring the entire law void, however, the appeals judges ordered Judge Joyce Draganchuk to determine if other parts of the measure can stay intact. The state will continue collecting the money during the appeals process and it isnt being held in escrow. Its being used to pay down pension liabilities, Weiss said.

Today in History
Today is Thursday, Aug. 15, the 227th day of 2013. There are 138 days left in the year. Four youngsters ages 2, 4, 6 and 4, the children of Mr. and Mrs. John Norvell, were playing on a boat near the shoreline when it slipped loose and floated to the other side of the lake with the children still on board. (One of the children) told her mother that about half way across the lake, they all began to cry, but when they neared the opposite shore they again began to enjoy the ride. Aug. 15, 1988 Buckley resident Gladys Nisewander, 100, spoke with a Cadillac News reporter about her years of memories. Among the memories was the first time she saw an automobile in Cadillac around the turn of the century .

A police vehicle is pushed off of the 6th of October bridge near the largest sit-in by supporters of ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in Cairo, Egypt, Wednesday.
roads were blocked, and Christian churches were torched, Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim said. At one point, protesters trapped a police Humvee on an overpass near the Nasr City camp and pushed it off, according to images posted on social networking sites that showed an injured policeman on the ground below, near a pool of blood and the overturned vehicle. The Health Ministry said 235 civilians were killed and more than 2,000 injured, while Ibrahim said 43 policemen died in the violence. The death toll was expected to rise. Three journalists were among the dead: Mick Deane, 61, a cameraman for British broadcaster Sky News; Habiba Ahmed Abd Elaziz, 26, a reporter for the Gulf News, a state-backed newspaper in the United Arab Emirates; and Ahmed Abdel Gawad, who wrote for Egypts state-run news-
paper Al Akhbar. Deane and Elaziz were shot to death, their employers said, while the Egyptian Press Syndicate, a journalists union, said it had no information on how Gawad was killed. For much of the afternoon, thousands of Morsi supporters chanting God is great! tried to join those besieged by the police inside the Nasr City camp. They were driven away when police fired tear gas.

The STREAM & LAKE MAP OF MICHIGAN resembles another map known to Pennsylvania anglers as the Lost Stream Map. The Stream Map of Pennsylvania was completed in 1965 after a thirty-year effort by Howard Higbee, a former Penn State Professor. Professor Higbee succeeded in creating a map of the highest detail possible a map that shows every stream and lake. He painstakingly plotted by hand, the location of 45,000 miles of streams onto a 3 by 5 foot map. The map sold extremely well until it was lost several years after it first appeared in print. Incredibly, the printer entrusted with the original drawing and printing plates, declared bankruptcy, then carelessly hauled Higbees 30 years of work to a landfill. The few remaining dog-eared copies became a prized fishermans possession. Professor Higbee was offered $400 for one of his last maps. And state agencies were forced to keep their copies under lock and key. Experts told Professor Higbee that reprints were impossible, because the maps were printed in non-photographic blue. Then in 1991, at the age of 91, Howard Higbees dream came true. Computers made it possible to reprint the map. Holding an updated map, Howard said, I never thought Id live to see this day. Then, by combining Professor Higbees knowledge with computer technology the STREAM & LAKE MAP OF MICHIGAN was created. STREAM MAPS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE FOR:

The soldier said that he understood what he was doing but that he did not believe at the time that leaking a mountain of classified information to the anti-secrecy website would cause harm to the U.S. Manning, 25, could be sentenced to 90 years in prison for the leaks, which occurred while he was working as an Army intelligence analyst in Iraq in 2010. The judge will impose the sentence, though exactly when is unclear.

Experience is a little tougher on the soccer field with just six seniors on Cadillacs roster. With that being the case, the Vikings can turn to some of their experienced juniors to lead the way . Junior Levi Rowan was among the group gathered for two separate two-hour practices morning and afternoon Wednesday at the CASA fields. This is a good start for us, he said.

Another team rolling into its season after spending a lot of time working in the summer is tennis.

CHICAGO Miguel Cabrera probably shouldn't even have been playing Wednesday . Hard to tell, though, after the aching s l u g ger hit a majestic threeOn Deck: vs. r u n Royals, 7:08 h o m e r p.m. today in the TV: FSD third inning to spark the Detroit Tigers to a 6-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox. With a day game following an extra-inning night game, and with a crucial five-game series against a division rival coming up this weekend, the rest would have been a prudent prescription for the leg injury Cabrera's been playing with for several days. "He actually has a shin that's all black and blue," Jim Leyland said. "It terrible, it's terrible looking, but it actually looked a little bit better today. He's still pretty sore. As a manager, you almost feel bad playing him. I can tell that he's hurting, but he wanted to play today , so I put him in there." Leyland certainly didn't feel bad about the decision afterward. The home run erased an early threerun deficit and gave the Tigers some much needed momentum. "He's been banged up for about a week," teammate Torii Hunter said of Cabrera. "Miggy , instead of him having to run, he just hits the home run." Cabrera has homered in five of the last six games. Despite allowing a season-high 11 hits, Tigers starter Rick Porcello (9-6) allowed just three runs in six innings. Porcello hasn't lost a decision since June 30 at Tampa Bay . Porcello got off to a miserable start, giving up three runs on four hits in the first inning. Worse, he needed 40 pitches to get the first three outs of the game. Avisail Garcia, and Conor Gillaspie had run-scoring singles, with the other run coming on a sacrifice fly by Jeff Keppinger. After Cabrera tied the score with his 38th homer, the Tigers broke the game open in the top of the sixth, thanks to some clutch hitting and a White Sox miscue. Omar Infante drove in the go-ahead run with a single, and the final two runs came courtesy of an error by Gillaspie, the third baseman. The White Sox added a run in the bottom of the eighth on a run-scoring single by Alexei Ramirez to make it 6-4. Taking no chances, Leyland brought in closer Joaquin Benoit with one out in the eighth. Benoit then proceeded to strike out Adam Dunn and Garcia to end the inning without further damage. He worked out of another jam in the ninth inning for his 15th save in 15 chances. Even though it occurred in the third inning, the talk of the postgame was Cabrera's homer off of White Sox starter John Danks (2-10).

ANN ARBOR Brady Hoke was about 10 minutes into a preseason news conference when the question was finally asked. It's been a while since Michigan last won the Big Ten, and now Ohio State that biggest of rivals enters this season as the favorite. Does that leave the Wolverines with a little more to prove? "Our goal is to win the championship, and we haven't done it," Hoke said. "I think you're always motivated when you talk about Ohio, no matter what's being said, you're motivated so that the last Saturday in November you play your best football." And yes, Ohio would be Ohio State in Hoke's parlance. Michigan may have recovered from its slide under Rich Rodriguez, but now the Buckeyes are upping the ante. They went undefeated last year, when they weren't eligible for a bowl. Now, Ohio State is expected to win a Big Ten title, something the Wolverines haven't done since 2004. Hoke took Michigan to the Sugar Bowl in his first year as the Wolverines' coach, but the team slipped to an
2013 Michigan schedule Aug. 31 vs. Central Michigan Sept. 7 vs. Notre Dame Sept. 14 vs. Akron Sept. 21 at Connecticut Oct. 5 vs. Minnesota Oct. 12 at Penn State 8-5 mark last season, and there's still work to be done in Ann Arbor. "This is Michigan," quarterback Devin Gardner said. "We win Big Ten championships. We compete for national championships. That's a big goal for us and we can't wait to get the opportunity to do that." Michigan must now move on without Denard Robinson, who was such a big part of the offense. Last year, Robinson was limited by elbow trouble, which allowed Gardner to get a jump on quarterbacking the Wolverines. Gardner started the final five games at quarterback last season, and he'll take over full time in 2013. Michigan got some good news in January when offensive lineman Taylor Lewan, an All-American, decided to pass on the NFL and return for his senior season. The Wolverines will have to travel to play in-state rival Michigan State, but the games against Notre Dame
Oct. 19 vs. Indiana Nov. 2 at Michigan State Nov. 9 vs. Nebraska Nov. 16 at Northwestern Nov. 23 at Iowa Nov. 30 vs. Ohio State (Sept. 7), Nebraska (Nov. 9) and Ohio State (Nov. 30) are all at home. If Michigan wins the Legends Division, a spot in the Big Ten title game will await with the Buckeyes, of course, expected to be the opponent. Five things to look for when Michigan takes the field this season: 1. REPLACING ROBINSON: Michigan's one-of-akind quarterback threw for 49 touchdowns and ran for 42 in his career with the Wolverines. Now Michigan turns the reins over to Gardner. The Wolverines will probably look more conventional on offense with Gardner taking snaps, and it's worth noting that Gardner's passing numbers were better than Robinson's last year. Gardner was 75 of 126 last season, for a completion percentage of nearly 60 percent. He averaged 9.7 yards per attempt, finishing with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions. Of course, Gardner only ran for 101

yards, and it's that aspect of Robinson's game that will be hard to replace. 2. CAN TOUSSAINT STAY HEALTHY?: Fitzgerald Toussaint ran for more than 1,000 yards two seasons ago, but he broke his left leg in November. He's back now, and another big season from the 5-foot-10 running back would go a long way toward boosting the Michigan running game. Derrick Green and De'Veon Smith, a pair of true freshmen, could also contribute out of the backfield. 3. WHEN CAN RYAN RETURN?: Another healthrelated item. Standout linebacker Jake Ryan went down in March with a torn anterior cruciate ligament. He's hoping to be back in October, and the Wolverines would certainly welcome that. If Ryan can return on schedule, Michigan should still have plenty to play for with him in the lineup. The Wolverines play at Michigan State on Nov . 2. 4. LEWAN'S LINEMATES: Michigan gave up a conference-low 15 sacks last season, but the Wolverines have only two returning starters on the offensive line Lewan and Michael Schofield. Can the men up front protect Gardner and give the Michigan backs room to run? "Obviously everyone's going to question when a senior leaves, that stuff is going to
happen but these guys are working so hard and they've done some really good things," Lewan said. "The biggest thing we have now is we have depth. We have five, six guys that are really vying for that spot and all of them are capable of playing Big Ten football it's just who is going to step up and pull themselves apart from the rest of the team." 5. HOKE AT HOME: In two seasons as Michigan's coach, Hoke still hasn't lost a home game. With so many of this year's biggest games being played in Ann Arbor, simply keeping that streak alive may be enough for the Wolverines to ensure themselves a special season.
EAST LANSING, Mich. For all Michigan State has accomplished under Mark Dantonio the wins over Michigan, a share of the 2010 Big Ten title, a pair of thrilling finishes on national television that will be remembered for generations there's still one step that has eluded the Spartans. Michigan State hasn't played in the Rose Bowl since 1988, and last season brought the Spartans no closer to that goal. They went 7-6, with almost every conference game coming down to the wire. If Michigan State can turn a few of those close losses into wins, a league title isn't that farfetched, but there's plenty of room for improvement, especially on offense. "We came into the last season with a very limited amount of experience on offense, at the quarterback position, at the wide receiver position," said Dantonio, who is entering his seventh season as the Spartans' coach. "We came in with an experienced defense and it showed. So we just need to pick all the pieces up, put them back in the puzzle, and move forward, and I think that's what we're doing."
Michigan State was among the favorites in the Big Ten at the beginning of last season, but a onepoint loss to Ohio State and a double-overtime loss to Iowa knocked the Spartans off the pace early. They ended up barely making the postseason. With quarterback Andrew Maxwell struggling at times in his first season as the starter, it was left to workhorse running back Le'Veon Bell to carry the offense. He did, to the tune of 1,793 yards on 382 carries, but then Bell decided to leave school early for the NFL draft. In the Spartans' bowl game, Maxwell split time at quarterback with Connor Cook, adding an element of uncertainty to that situation going forward. Five things to watch as Michigan State tries to end its Rose Bowl drought: 1. SOFT SCHEDULE?: Michigan State beat Wisconsin in the regular season each of the last three years then watched the Badgers play in the Rose Bowl each time. This year, Wisconsin isn't on the Spartans' schedule, and neither is Ohio State. On top of that, Michigan State gets to play Michigan at home. The Spartans had won four straight over the
2013 Michigan State schedule Aug. 30 vs.Western Michigan Sept. 7 vs. South Florida Sept. 14 vs. Youngstown State Sept. 21 at Notre Dame Oct. 5 at Iowa Oct. 12 vs. Indiana Oct. 19 vs. Purdue Oct. 26 at Illinois Nov. 2 vs. Michigan Nov. 16 at Nebraska Nov. 23 at Northwestern Nov. 30 vs. Minnesota
Michigan State quarterback Andrew Maxwell stretches during their first preseason practice Aug. 3 in East Lansing.
Wolverines before losing last year in Ann Arbor. 2. IS MAXWELL THE MAN?: Maxwell completed only 52.5 percent of his passes last season, but in fairness, he was working with an inexperienced receiving corps. Still, it was Cook who led the winning drive in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl against Texas Christian. "The job's open right now," Maxwell said. "Every quarterback is fighting, clawing, scratching, trying to win the day every single day at practice, trying to be the best quarterback they can be." 3. BIG SHOES TO FILL: It would be unrealistic to expect any of Michigan State's running backs to match Bell's number of carries from a season ago. The question is whether, collectively, the Spartans can replace his production. Redshirt freshman Riley Bullough has been atop the depth chart at tailback, followed by 5-foot-8, 198-pound
junior Nick Hill, who had all of 21 carries last season. Michigan State could have three fifth-year seniors starting on the offensive line, which should help. 4. NEXT IN LINE: When Jerel Worthy left Michigan State early to go to the NFL, William Gholston was ready to anchor the defensive line. Now Gholston has turned pro, but the Spartans have proven they can reload on defense while maintaining an effective front at the line
of scrimmage. Defensive end Marcus Rush had a couple sacks last year, and he could be ready to make a bigger impact. 5 . GE TTI N G TH E B O U N C E S : Michig an State beat Notre Dame in 2010 on a fake field goal in overtime, and the Spartans edged Wisconsin the following year on a 'Hail Mary' on the game's final play . Those two games are now firmly a part of Michigan State lore, but last season, the Spartans lost five games by a combined 13 points. With a stingy defense and an offense still trying to find its footing, Michigan State could be on its way to another season full of close games. How the Spartans perform in them should go a long way toward determining if they can make a run at a league title.
Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler (6) throws a pass against the Carolina Panthers during the first half of a preseason game in Charlotte, N.C., Friday.
CHICAGO The first step for Jay Cutler was a bit wobbly . Maybe this one will be a little smoother. The Chicago Bears meet the San Diego Chargers today, and all eyes will remain on Cutler as he tries to adapt to new coach Marc Trestman's offense. "We're moving along," Cutler said. "I don't think I can pinpoint exactly where we're at, but we're definitely getting better each and every day . Like I just said, there's ups and downs and there's positives and negatives. We're trying to look at the negatives and try to fix those as quickly as possible and continue to find more and more positives each and every day ." The Chargers are in a similar spot. Both teams are adjusting to new head coaches, and both are trying to build off shaky preseason openers. The Bears fell 24-17 at Carolina. San Diego got pounded 31-10 by Seattle.
"We have to minimize the mistakes we made from the other night's game," Chargers coach Mike McCoy said. "We can't make the same mistake twice. The first preseason game you do not game plan a ton for. This game we'll put in a few different wrinkles. We've seen the team play in a game once, so we have a good idea of what they do or what they did. We just need to keep getting better every day and be ready for the opener."" For the Bears, there was plenty of room for improvement from the Carolina game. Cutler got intercepted by Josh Norman on Chicago's first play from scrimmage, setting up a Panthers touchdown, on a pass intended for Alshon Jeffery . The ball was thrown to the wrong shoulder, leading to the pick. Cutler settled down to complete 6 of 8 passes for 56 yards, but Chicago managed only a field goal in the first three quarters, not what the Bears envisioned
when they hired Trestman. The brought him in to replace the fired Lovie Smith, hoping he can maximize their strong-armed quarterback and lead the Bears back to the playoffs after they missed out for the fifth time in six years. How Cutler meshes with Trestman will go a long way toward determining that.
For now, consider it a work in progress. "You always want to see points," Trestman said. "That would be No. 1. We want to score. For the time we're out there, we hope we will. We're going to do everything we can to do that. Just consistency , getting in and out of the huddle, being physical at the line of scrimmage.

NO DRAMA, NO TROPHY
Without Tony Stewart in the cockpit, this might be the teams best bet for running up front. What have we learned about fate?
Weve learned that it remains undefeated. Two weeks ago, Tony Stewart was lecturing the media (in his own gentle way, of course) about shorttrack, open-wheel racing and how we shouldnt be overly dramatic about the tumbling wrecks that accompany that form of motorsports. You mortals have got to learn, Stewart said in his opening remarks after an injury-free wreck in Canada on July 29.
An orderly finish at The Glen ... who would have thought? Surprised that Brad Keselowski ran clean on the last lap?
GODSPEAK: It surprised everybody, including Keselowski, probably. KENS CALL: By that point, I think all the tow trucks were out of gas, so it was for the best.
And then . . . ?
And then, a week ago, he was tweeting thanks to other mortals (his fans) for their concern about a wreck in Iowa that didnt end so well. If you think its no big deal to roll a sprint car, fine, but in a sport with plenty of traditions, superstitions and unwritten rules, you should know not to say it out loud and tempt fate.

Brad Keselowski won Saturdays Nationwide Series race at Watkins Glen, but a bout of mannerly driving kept him from breaking out the broom on Sunday.

FAILURE TO LAUNCH
Brad Keselowski recovered from an early race spin to go toe-to-toe with Kyle Busch for the Cheez-it 355 victory in the closing laps. For the third straight year Keselowski finished second in the race. That kind of stinks, he said. But Im proud of the effort and proud of the recovery because that (spin) dug us a deep hole very early in the race. On the last lap, Keselowskis No. 2 Ford came right up to the rear bumper of Buschs No. 18 Toyota a couple of times. It looked like Keselowski could have easily applied the chrome horn to spin Busch and win. Instead, the defending Cup Series champion took the high road. After the race, Keselowski said he was trying to avoid drama by not knocking Busch out of the way for the checkered flag, even though he is fighting for a Chase playoff position. He moved to eighth in points, but has yet to win this season. I could have definitely dumped Kyle and won the race, Keselowski said. That stuff goes back and forth. Im sure someone in the tabloid side of the media will make a big deal about that, but it wont be me because I know I did the right thing.

SPEAKING OF GORDON
Gordon is struggling to make the Chase. Hes 13th in points, but fifth among wild-card hopefuls. Gordon crashed on Lap 13 (of 90) and finished 38th. Its unfortunate, he said. I had a big run on (Denny Hamlin) and I got up on him and the nose just completely took off and put me in the wall. Gordon is running out of races to secure a Chase berth. When asked what happens now, Gordon said the team needs to fight hard. Just keep working to go to the next race and qualify better, execute better and not make mistakes, he said. That was my mistake; that was on me. We cant have stuff like that happen.

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. Major League Baseball Executive Vice President Joe Torre has given his instant replay proposal to the executive committee to consider as baseballs brass huddled for two days of meetings. Commissioner Bud Selig was to address the media on Thursday morning to discuss whats on the table. Selig says he thinks it was very thoughtful and well-done. The commissioner says itll be discussed in more detail on Thursday morning. Major League Baseball is looking at a vast expansion of video review for the 2014 season and is examining whether all calls other than balls and strikes should be subject to instant replay .

KANSAS CITY, Mo. The Miami Marlins took advantage of an error by the Kansas City Royals to score the go-ahead runs in the seventh inning Wednesday , then turned to their bullpen to wrap up a 5-2 victory . The Royals were leading 2-1 when Koyie Hill doubled off reliever Tim Collins (2-6) to start the seventh. Christian Yelich then hit a grounder toward third that utility man Elliot Johnson let through his legs, putting runners on second and third with nobody out. Donovan Solano and Logan Morrison followed with RBI groundouts to give the Marlins the lead. That was enough for the Marlins bullpen. Dan Jennings (2-3) got through the sixth, A.J. Ramos worked the seventh and eighth, and Steve Cishek handled the ninth for his 26th save. Cishek struck out Alex Gordon with runners on first and second to end the game.

BUCKLEY One of the areas more unique summer events, the Buckley Old Engine Show, opens today . The 46th annual event, which has been drawing on average more than 50,000 visitors annually , runs through Sunday afternoon at the show grounds just off M-37. Its put on by the Northwest Michigan Engine and Thresher Club. Theres so much to see and do, its amazing, said Jim Luper, who handles the shows marketing, advertising and public relations. The Buckley Old Engine Show typically attracts thousands of antique tractor, steam engine and vintage car fans and features antique tractor parades, steam train rides on the Buckley Railroad, steam and gas engine exhibits, farming demonstrations, old-time entertainment, a farm animal exhibit, a 500-plus lot flea market, an arts and crafts show and more. It also features Front Street, a replication of an early 20th-century small-town thoroughfare featuring businesses such as a blacksmith, a cobbler, a leather goods shop, a working print shop, a barbershop and a general store. The Spirit of Traverse City, the popular miniature train attraction that called Traverse Citys Clinch Park home for years until 2011, will be on display again this year. The club purchased it last year. The train had been on display at last years show, and there had
been plans to have it up and running at this years show. The cars have been rebuilt, and club members started laying tracks but they were unable to have them ready in time for this weekend, Luper said. Another new activity is a draft horse pull thats scheduled to take place at 11:30 a.m. Sunday , he added. The show also is hosting the National Leader Tractor Collectors Association, which is based in Perryville, Mo. For more information about the show, visit www.buckleyoldengineshow.org.

REED CITY School may not be in session, but for a group of talented Osceola County teens, this is crunch time. Young thespians have been busy for weeks preparing to showcase an interesting take on the Shakespeare classic, As You Like It. The play-within-a-play is the perfect first project for Crossroads Theatre Guilds youth acting troupe, said director Timothy Locker, because the plays very premise young performers with mixed enthusiasm about acting in the production allows the youth to have fun with their parts. There is comedy and a lot happening, so it is a challenge, but the reward is something fun to watch, Locker said. This is the inaugural youth production for the theatre guild, which opened last fall at the new Reed City theater on Upton Street. The all-teen cast and crew have been participat-
The Red Troupe, one of the two teen acting groups performing this weekend in Shakespeares As You Like It, pose in character. The cast consists of, front, Hannah Way, 16, from left, Emily Shewan, 15, Sabrina Somers, 14, A.J. Shewan, 14, Mat Langworthy, 14, Nathan Mora, 15 and Philip Langworthy, 17.
ing in a summer theater workshop in which the teens are split into two groups and have taken turns learning various aspects of the theater world. They are actors half the time, perfecting parts, and the other half, they are doing the important behind-the-scenes production work, Locker said. The result is that by the time the play reaches audiences this weekend, coinciding with the Reed City areas Great American Crossroads Celebration, the actors have survived a theater boot camp and grown into seasoned theater thespians. It is great to get the youth in our community involved in live theater, and they will be putting on a wonderful show,
Locker said. Perfor mances begin Thursday and continue through Sunday with matinee and evening live shows at the Upton Street theater. For more information on the play or Crossroads Festival, visit the Crossroads Theatre Guild facebook page or visit www. reedcity .org.

LAKE CITY Get ready to be energized. A unique musical duo known for their unforgettable live performances and original songs will be delighting audiences at the Lake City United Methodist Church on Friday at 6:30 p.m. Jonathan Richard Cring and Janet Clazzy, collectively known as SpiriTed, have both been involved in music for decades. Cring is a daily columnist and humorist who has performed on The Grand Ole Opry and with such renowned musicians as Johnny Cash. Clazzy, who has been referred to by some as the female Kenny G., plays the oboe and also an obscure musical device called the WX-5 Wind Machine, which can emulate the sounds of 250 different instruments. Through a combination of original music, humor and Bible-based wisdom, Clazzy said the goal of SpiriTed is to inspire. Were like a two-person variety show, Clazzy said.
