Mother
pleads no
contest to
child abuse
Cadillac woman
left her children
in van while she
went to work
by jeff broddle
cadillac news
CADILLAC A Cadil-
lac mother has pleaded
no contest to four lesser
counts after being charged
with four counts of felony
child abuse
for allegedly
leaving her
children unat-
tended in her
van while she
was at work in
Cadillac West.
Pennie Sue
Cates, 34, has
pleaded no contest in 28th
Circuit Court in Wexford
County to two counts of
fourth degree child abuse,
according to court records,
as well as two counts of
leaving a child in a vehicle
resulting in physical harm.
Cates was arrested in Ca-
dillac West the afternoon
of July 30 after offcers
from the Cadillac Police
Department found the
children unattended in her
van in the parking lot of
McDonalds restaurant.
The children were two
7-year-old boys, a 2-year-old
girl and a 1-year-old girl.
They had been left alone
without adult supervision
from 6:30 a.m. to 1:45 p.m.
while Cates was at work at
another business nearby.
According to Detective Lt.
Todd Golnick of the Cadil-
lac Police Department,
Cates had said the children
could not be left at her
home because there was a
registered sex offender liv-
ing there.
A no contest plea is not
an admission of guilt but
is accepted as one at sen-
tencing.
Cates could face up to
one year in jail on each
count, but could have faced
up to 10 years in prison on
each count if convicted as
originally charged. Her
case was remanded to 84th
District Court for sentenc-
ing.

DEARBORN Gov. Rick
Snyder checked off one
of the major priorities of
his first term on Monday,
signing into law a measure
that will make hundreds
of thousands of state resi-
dents eligible for Medicaid.
Snyders signature at the
ceremony at Oakwood Hos-
pital in Dearborn makes
Michigan the largest state
controlled by Republicans
to support a key compo-
nent of the new federal
health care law.
It will expand the gov-
ernment health insurance
program to almost a half-
million Michigan residents
within a few years, nearly
halving the states unin-
sured. An estimated 320,000
are expected to be eligible
in late March if the federal
government OKs the plan.
Medicaid expansion is
part of a strategy to ensure
that nearly all Americans
have health insurance un-
der the Affordable Care
Act. It was designed to cov-
er the neediest uninsured
people yet became optional
for states because of a Su-
preme Court decision.
A healthier Michigan is
an important part of our
states continued come-
back, Snyder said. To-
day, were reaching out to
nearly a half-million Michi-
ganders with a message
that help is there for them
and their families to lead
healthier, more productive
lives. And this innovative
approach will make our
recovering economy stron-
ger, too, saving money for
taxpayers and job provid-
ers.

matter of life and death
Local mom on mission to raise food allergy awareness
by mardi suhs
cadillac news
L
ast summer,
peopl e wi t h
food allergies
were shaken
by the death of Nata-
lie Giorgi, a 13-year-old
girl from California
with a peanut allergy.
The teenager was at
summer camp with
her family when she
bit into a Rice Krispie
treat. She spit it out
when she unexpectedly
tasted peanut butter.
She seemed fine after
her mom gave her some
Benadryl. But 20 min-
utes later, Natalie start-
ed vomiting and went
into cardiac arrest. She
died, even after her fa-
ther, a physician, gave
her three injections of
epinephrine.
Suddenly, parents
across the nation real-
ized that their Epi-Pens
were not a magic bul-
let. If it could happen
to a doctors child, it
could happen to any-
one.
Joe and Mindy Cuci-
nella, of Cadillac, have
daughters with life-
threatening food aller-
gies. Mindy, a teacher
consultant with the
CTC, is now an allergy
activist. Her mission
is to raise awareness
about the life-threat-
ening seriousness of
food allergies.

Many GOP-led states op-
posed to Obamacare have
declined the expansion, de-
spite the U.S. government
promising to cover the en-
tire cost for the frst three
years and 90 percent later.
Michigan becomes just the
third state where the GOP
also controls the Legisla-
ture to accept it joining
Arizona and North Dakota.
The program already cov-
ers one in fve Michigan res-
idents, mainly low-income
children, pregnant women,
the disabled and some
poorer working adults. The
expansion will cover adults
making up to 133 percent of
the poverty level $15,500
for an individual, $26,500 for
a family of three.
In the frst year, Healthy
Michigan is anticipated to
cover 320,000 Michiganders,
eventually providing care
for 470,000 most working
but earning about $15,000 a
year.
The state House approved
the much-debated Medicaid
expansion bill on a biparti-
san 75-32 vote the day after
Labor Day.
Medicaid expansion is
part of a strategy to ensure
that nearly all Americans
have health insurance un-
der the 2010 Affordable Care
Act. It was designed to cover
the neediest uninsured peo-
ple but became optional for
states because of a Supreme
Court decision.
HB 4714 was sponsored
by Rep. Matt Lori, with
changes in the Senate shep-
herded by Sen. Roger Kahn
and leadership from Sen-
ate Majority Leader Randy
Richardville and Minority
Leader Gretchen Whitmer.
The governor also said
House Speaker Jase Bolger,
Rep. Mike Shirkey and Mi-
nority Leader Tim Greimel
were to be commended for
their work on this legisla-
tion earlier in the summer
and throughout the process.
It will become Public Act
107 of 2013.
Health care is an issue
that prompts strong opin-
ions, and debate over this
plan was thoughtful, and,
at times, intense, Snyder
said. But in the end, law-
makers from both sides of
the aisle came together on
an improved plan that is
built upon our shared Mich-
igan values and hopes for a
stronger state, both physi-
cally and fnancially.

CaDILLaC Mindy Cuci-
nella is used to people star-
ing at her in restaurants
and movie theaters.
She looks like a clean
freak when she unleash-
es antiseptic wipes and
scrubs down chair seats
and table tops. Then, she
unwraps food from home
for her daughters.
When she gets the look,
she smiles and chats with
onlookers.
Im not one of the crazy
moms, she explains. My
daughter has a food aller-
gy.
After the death this sum-
mer of a California teen
with a peanut allergy and
their own close calls, Joe
and Mindy Cucinella have
become very strict about
protecting their girls.
The couple learned about
the danger of food aller-
gies when their frst born,
Aria, was 6-months old and
had her frst bottle of for-
mula. Within minutes she
turned deep red and began
vomiting. After a trip to
the emergency room, they
were told Aria was aller-
gic to milk. Follow-up tests
sent to Mayo Clinic by al-
lergy specialist Dr. Martin
Dubravec revealed that her
allergy was the highest lev-
el of severity.
Dubravec stressed food
allergies are not the same
as a food intolerance or
sensitivity. According to
the National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Dis-
eases, a food allergy is a
specifc immune system re-
sponse . . . that can occur af-
ter either smelling, touch-
ing or ingesting a particu-
lar food. As many as 200
people die every year from
food allergies.
Most food allergies are
life threatening, Dubravec
stated. They are rare but
usually dangerous.
And most people are un-
aware of the danger from
even breathing or touching
the allergen.
When Aria was 8-months
old, she grabbed her moms
napkin to wipe her mouth
and broke out in hives. Cu-
cinella had used the nap-
kin after eating ice cream.
Even a moms kiss on the
cheek after eating cheese
pizza can cause a reac-
tion. Movie theaters are
teeming with danger be-
cause anything that has
been touched by hands
exposed to buttered pop-
corn can cause a reaction
in someone with milk al-
lergies.
Her allergy is life
threatening, said Cuci-
nella, recalling how Aria
once grabbed the wrong
cup of milk and ended up
in the hospital, vomiting
with her eyes rolled back
in her head.
Dr. Dubravec met us at
the hospital and he stuck
her in the leg with an Epi-
Pen (a shot with epineph-
rine). It took three of those
and other treatments to get
her back out of the reac-
tion.
The Cucinellas middle
daughter, Lia, has thank-
fully outgrown a food aller-
gy. But 3-year-old Anna has
a nut allergy that is being
treated as life threatening.
Cucinella is part of a new
support group for people
with food allergies. Also,
she and her family will
walk in Lansing this week-
end to raise funds for al-
lergy research and aware-
ness.
I want people to under-
stand that its not easy, that
it makes everything hard,
she stated. My daughter
wants to know why she
cant be the same as the
other kids.
Special food is taken to
birthday parties. Baby sit-
ters must be trained to use
an Epi-Pen in an emergen-
cy.
Cucinella carries an
auto-injector upgrade of
the Epi-Pen called Auvi-Q
that actually speaks and
walks you through using
it.
Educating the commu-
nity is a necessity, she
explained. Im going to
present valuable informa-
tion to our school princi-
pals and Im hoping peo-
ple will be willing to have
us come talk about it. Dr.
Dubravec is also willing to
offer trainings.
It was extremely emo-
tional for us this sum-
mer after the food allergy
death in California, she
said. The parents of this
little girl are starting a
foundation to educate peo-
ple on the severity of food
allergies.
She added that she hopes
that parents understand
that at sporting events like
CASA, its not just an in-
convenience to not bring
peanuts. Its a matter of life
and death to another child.

The last Adopt-A-Highway
pickup of the year begins
Saturday and runs through
Sept. 29.
Volunteers in the Michi-

been picking up litter along
state highways since 1990.
There are three scheduled
Adopt-A-Highway pickups
every year: one each in the
spring, summer and fall.
In 2012, Adopt-A-Highway
volunteer groups reported
collecting about 65,000 bags
of trash, a cost beneft to the
state of $5.6 million.
Motorists should keep an
eye out for Adopt-A-Highway
crews clad in yellow-green
safety vests. MDOT provides
the vests and trash bags for
free, and arranges to haul
away the trash. Around
3,000 volunteer groups are
in Michigans Adopt-A-
Highway program, covering
about 7,200 miles of state
highway. Sections of high-
way are still available for
adoption. Groups are asked
to adopt a highway section
for at least two years, with
the groups name posted on
signs along the adopted high-
way. There is no cost to par-
ticipate. Interested groups
should check the MDOT Web
page at www.michigan.gov/

Cause of timber trucking company fre a mystery
by jEFF broDDLE
cadillac news
MCBAIN Investigators were un-
able to determine the cause of an
Aug. 29 fire that destroyed a log-
ging companys vehicle repair
shop outside of McBain.
An early morning fire set the
shop ablaze at Roger Bazuin and
Sons Forest Products, collaps-
ing the building and destroying a
number of vehicles.
Four fire departments were
called to the shop, and arrived
to find the building engulfed in
flames. The fire was located on
Stoney Corners Road west of
McBain. The shop did repairs not
only of the companys trucks and
equipment, but also took in out-
side work.
Although there were two sepa-
rate investigators, neither could
arrive at an exact cause of the fire,
according to McBain Fire Depart-
ment Fire Chief Craig Fisher.
Fisher said the incident was in-
vestigated by both an insurance
company and the Michigan State
Police Fire Marshal Division.
Well probably never know what
started that fire, Fisher said.
Fisher said the company is re-
building the shop in a new spot.

Ethiopia coordinating gospel cru-
sades and even building a new Bi-
ble school.
But Ransoms work with Joshua
Campaign International is far from
done.
Ransom and his family are plan-
ning to head back to continue their
missionary work in the horn of Af-
rica.
Ransom, along with his wife Mi-
chelle and their three children,
Brianna, Jonathan and Carissa,
will be living in Addis Ababa to
continue a lifelong purpose of mis-
sion work in Africa, hoping to ful-
fill the words written in Matthew
24:14, and this gospel of the king-
dom will be preached in the whole
world as a testimony to all nations,
and then the end will come.
Ransom said the seed of minis-
try first grew in his heart after a
visit to their home church Revival
Center of Cadillac from a mission-
ary named Karl Hargestam from
Ethiopia. The missionary spoke
about the work he had been doing
in Africa and at the end of service,
invited people to come forward
who felt called to missions.
My wife and I went forward and
received prayer and the Holy Spir-
it touched our hearts in a special
way, and over a number of years
that seed grew into a desire, Ran-
som said.
Ransom and his family last went
to Ethiopia in 2010. He worked in
a Christian hospital built by the
South Korean Myungsung Presby-
terian Church as a physical thera-
pist. Ransom also shared his faith
in unreached tribal areas.
Groups as large as 150,000 peo-
ple would gather to hear about the
good news of Jesus Christ, Ran-
som said.
Since being home, the family has
been raising support for their re-
turn back to Ethiopia. The family
is working to set up a cash budget
to establish them in Ethiopia, as
well as a monthly budget to sup-
port the family and ministry while
in Addis Ababa.
There are still many tribal ar-
eas that are geographically iso-
lated and so have never had the
opportunity to hear the gospel
of Jesus Christ, Ransom said.
We want to continue to identify
those areas and share the love of
Christ.
Recently, Ransom has even re-
ceived his ordination as a minis-
ter.
Addis Ababa is the capital of
Ethiopia and is the location of
the African Union. Ransom said
explaining the conditions of a
third world country is difficult
to describe to those who have not
witnessed its poverty. There is an
enormous amount of poverty, as
well as fewer services available to
help the disabled, Ransom said.
At the same time, the Ethiopian
people are a strong, loving and
hospitable people that honor rela-
tionships to each other and to the
Lord, Ransom said.
The family has raised about 72
percent of their target for cash sup-
port and 45 percent of their target
for monthly support, Ransom said.
Revival Center also helped the fam-
ily raise $1,000 at their Taste of Ca-
dillac booth.
Ransom said the family is hoping
to be in Ethiopia as early as Janu-
ary. Ransom said he fnds himself
longing to be in Ethiopia and Cadil-
lac at the same time.
When you have lived in two
places that are so different you fnd
yourself missing one when you are
living in the other, Ransom said.
I have found as many others that
once Africa gets into your heart,
you are never the same again.

EYE FACTS
by Deborah Wu, M.D.
School athletes are required to schedule a physical exam at the start of the season to
ensure that nothing stands in the way of achieving optimal performance. In addition to
this exam, it makes sense to undergo a comprehensive eye exam as well. Strong vision
is essential to an athletes performance, and anyone in need of vision correction should
be ftted with comfortable contact lenses. Beyond that, athletes should be aware that
dynamic visual acuity, eye tracking, depth perception, and visual reaction time area
among the vision-related issues that can affect performance. Once athletes are confdent
that these factors have been successfully addressed, they should take the necessary
further step of safeguarding their eyes with protective eyewear.
PS - As the term eye-hand coordination suggests, catching or hitting a ball relies on
proper information form the vision system to guide the hands.

Raymond William Eckert Jr.
TRAVERSE CITY
Raymond William Eckert
Jr., of Fife Lake, passed
away on Saturday, Sep-
tember 14, 2013, at Mun-
son Medical Center. He
was 79.
Ray was born on Sep-
tember 5, 1934, in India-
napolis, Ind., to the late
Raymond and Lillie
(Ferre) Eckert. At a
young age, Ray moved
with his family to the
Muskegon area on Beach
Street on the shores of
Lake Michigan. He at-
tended Bunker School
and graduated from high
school as a member of
the 1953 class of Big
Reds. Ray was inducted
into the Muskegon Area
Sports Hall of Fame with
the Muskegon Big Reds
1951 State Champion
Football team. Ray met
and married Margaret
Midge Westerlund and
together they had four
children. On December 3,
1983, Ray entered into
marriage with the for-
mer Bethel Ashbay, cele-
brating 29 years together
at their home in Fife
Lake.
Ray served his mason-
ry apprenticeship in
Muskegon. In 1959 he
moved his family to the
Portage/Kalamazoo ar-
ea. There, he started Eck-
ert Masonry, working
hard to support his fami-
ly. He was an avid hunter
and fsherman. He often
took the opportunity to
travel north and eventu-
ally established a hunt-
ing cabin for friends and
family. He made the move
to Northern Michigan
permanent in 1978.
Ray was an enthusias-
tic outdoorsman to say
the least. He was in his
element in the great out-
doors. Fall was Rays fa-
vorite time of year as
hockey and hunting sea-
son approached. He also
enjoyed time on or near
the water, fishing and
duck hunting, and was a
member of Ducks Unlim-
ited. Rays talent for per-
fection was evident in his
trade and work, but also
displayed artistically in
his hand carved decoys.
He held a professional
Decorative Decoy Carver
ranking. His carvings
were contested and
judged all over the Unit-
ed States and Canada,
where he won many frst
place ribbons and best of
show awards. In 1984, his
Rainbow Trout won the
first Worlds Best of
Show Fish Carving. Ray
was acknowledged for
his championship carv-
ing work spanning from
water fowl and other
birds to fish. He was a
member of the Walton
Junction Sportsmen
Club, the Bricklayers
Union Local 17 of Kalam-
azoo, and attended Fife
Lake United Methodist
Church. Ray was proud
to be a mason. It was an
art that he could do with
a trowel. He was instru-
mental with the restora-
tion of the Mitchell
House in Cadillac. Ray
will be deeply missed for
his outgoing and opin-
ionated nature, as well as
for his supportive, loving
and adventurous spirit.
Ray is survived by his
wife, Bethel, of Fife
Lake; his sons: Greg (Li-
sa) Eckert of Marquette
and Jeff (Susan) Eckert
of Kalamazoo; daughter,
Jill (Jim) Corstange, al-
so of Kalamazoo; son-in-
law, Wolfgang Dittmer
of Connecticut; seven
grandchildren; several
great-grandchildren; and
many other loving family
members and friends.

DETROIT (AP) A
significant number of
drivers have been trying
to register vehicles with
phony insurance certifi-
cates, Michigans secre-
tary of state said Monday
while announcing a state-
wide crackdown.
More than 4,000 vehicle
registrations have been
suspended this year, com-
pared to 431 in all of 2011,
Ruth Johnson said.
Im surprised at the
numbers. Were seeing
very elaborate scams to
take advantage of peo-
ple, Johnson said in an
interview. If you get into
an accident it can alter
your life if you dont have
insurance and you think
you do.
Proof of no-fault in-
surance is required to
register more than 7 mil-
lion passenger vehicles
in Michigan each year.
Insurers are required to
send electronic verifica-
tion to the state, but many
motorists still can present
paper certifcates at secre-
tary of state offces. Thats
where fraud has been dis-
covered.
On July 31, more than
16 percent of 3,500 paper
certificates were invalid
or phony, Johnsons offce
said.
Johnson said phony in-
surance affects every mo-
torist because rates can
go up to compensate for
the injuries of uninsured
drivers and passengers.
Its an economic bur-
den on the honest people,
she said.
Some fake certificates
had a computer code that
read, Llamas are sooo
cool, when scanned.
Johnson said some scam-
mers have set up help
desks to answer the
phone and verify insur-
ance if the state calls.
We had fakes or forged
copies turn up in more
than half of Michigans 83
counties, Johnson said.
At the same news con-
ference, Eaton County
Prosecutor Douglas
Lloyd announced charges
against a Detroit-area
man accused of adver-
tising fake insurance on
Craigslist. The ad carried
the line, use at your own
risk. ... No refunds.
The secretary of states
offce will be part of a task
force thatll investigate
ways to reduce insurance
fraud. The group will in-
clude state police, pros-
ecutors and insurance
trade groups.

Police: Body of Belding
boy, 10, found in river
BELDING, Mich. (AP)
Authorities say search-
ers have found the body
of a 10-year-old western
Michigan boy who disap-
peared after going fshing,
triggering an extensive
search by the FBI, state
and local police.
The city of Belding post-
ed on its Facebook page

Devon Morrisons body
was found in the Flat

the river Sunday with
boats and helicopters.
The search area is
about 25 miles northeast
of Grand Rapids. Devon
was a ffth-grader at
Woodview Elementary

Oakland jail guard
accused of sex with
prisoner
PONTIAC, Mich. (AP)
An Oakland County
sheriff s deputy has been
charged with criminal
sexual conduct on accusa-
tions that he had sex with a
prisoner.
The sheriff s department
says the 24-year-old woman
voluntarily had sex with
Deputy Garry D. Jackson
but says Michigan law
makes sexual contact with
prisoners a crime because
they cant give consent.
The 52-year-old deputy
has been a jail guard since
1997. He was arraigned
Monday on a charge of
second-degree criminal
sexual conduct, which can
carry a penalty of up to 15
years in prison.

Friday night was our frst

chance that our Cadillac
Marching Band had to show
everyone how hard they have
worked on their halftime
show. I think it was very dis-
respectful that most of the
people in the stands would
not stop talking long enough
to listen and watch the band.
The band kids and band di-
rector have put in an incredi-
ble amount of time and effort
on their performance and
they deserve just as much
attention and recognition
from the community as the
football team. We need to be
just as proud of our march-
ing band as we are the rest of
the team.

government study,
the subsidy is closer
to $1.3 million. To
enforce this tax on
the working class
only gives a further
advantage to the
stores. According to
a Federal Reserve
study, the six Walmart heirs
own as much wealth as the
bottom 42 percent of Ameri-
cans, and pay very little
taxes.
Our state currently main-
tains a budget surplus which
they will use to repair roads.
Good, but why are our roads
so poor in Michigan. Again,
big box stores wrote legisla-
tion allowing the biggest,
heaviest trucks in the na-
tion to tear them up. Yet an-
other subsidy. Then we have
the regular worker whose
income is taxed through
payroll deduction. They pay
higher rates than the wealthy
who have every loophole
available. Even Mitt Romney
released his taxes at a 13 per-
cent rate in the one year he
would divulge, whereas I pay
almost 30.
Again, according to Huff-
ington, two-thirds of Ameri-
can corporations pay no
taxes at all. How does it level
the playing feld by taking
away the one loophole regu-
lar Michiganians have? We
need to watch what
Potvin and Booher
do about this. They
already voted for
the largest increase
of taxes on the re-
tired in Michigan
history. Republicans
love to tax the work-
ing class.

In response to a 9/13 Speak-
out regarding violence
within the pro-life move-
ment.
In my 25-year involvement
with RTL, including attend
ing RTL national marches
in Washington, DC, where
several hundred thousand
people gather at the capital,
never once have I seen or
ever heard of a report of
any type of violence, and we
leave DC literally liter free.
Compare our march with
Occupy Wall Street with the
aftermath of garbage and
human waste with thousands
being arrested for various
crimes.
Yes, there has been some
recorded violence perpe-
trated by a minute few who
do not represent the vast
majority of right-to-lifers.
We believe that even with the
killing of 56 million unborn
babies inside abortion clinics
still does not justify the kill-
ing of fve abortionists.
Compare the violence per-
petrated by unions. Accord-
ing to the National Institute
for Labor Relations Research,
there have been more than
9,000 documented cases of
union violence since 1975,
that include murder, death
threats, house burnings,
house shootings, stabbings,
vandalizing and non-union
members have been attacked
with rocks, bricks and base-
ball bats.
Our RTL group experi-
enced union violence frst-
hand while in the state capi-
tal in Lansing in December,
2012. We were there to pro-
mote passage of our pro-life
legislation, and were over-
whelmed with union thugs
that shouted over us as our
group prayed on the capital
foor. Police were there with
riot gear, and arrests were
made. Outburst of There
will be blood in the streets if
the Right to Work bill was
signed.
My point is, you cant judge
all union members by the
actions of some, and you can-
not judge right -to- lifers by
the action of a few radicals.
The real violence occurs
within abortion clinics every
day in America.

What will they say about
you when youre gone?
I attended a funeral this
past week of a woman named
Sarah Lewis, the widow of
my childhood rabbi, Albert
Lewis. A 92-year-old pillar of
her community, she was elo-
quent, brilliant, devoted and
religious.
The service was sparse and
simple. Mostly prayers and
thoughts. First, several of
her grandchildren spoke, fol-
lowed by her two daughters
and her son.
Each of them mentioned
something they had learned
from their mother or grand-
mother. A life lesson that
was indelibly etched in their
hearts.
One grandson spoke about
her kindness and how she
lent him money to buy a car
on very favorable terms
meaning when he could af-
ford to pay her back, he did.
Her eldest daughter spoke
about how her mothers won-
derful and devoted marriage
set an example for the next
generation.
Her youngest daughter
laughed at how she used to
get, as a holiday gift, a book
of stamps, because, her
mother said, they will come
in very handy when you send
letters.
And her son told poignant
stories of how his mother
bravely broke up neighbor-
hood fghts, made him wear
a coat even on a 75-degree
day in the winter because,
she said, its a winter 75
degrees! and
insisted he clap!
at a neighborhood
parade, to show rec-
ognition for those
marching, warning
him that TV was
turning his gen-
eration into passive
observers.
He also told of
how his father,
early in his par-
ents marriage, had
a bout with can-
cer and began to
withdraw from the
family, fearing he
was dying and not
wanting the kids to
miss him when he was gone.
And how his mother frmly
but lovingly reminded her
husband, How do you want
us to remember you? as a
kind and caring patriarch, or
a distant, removed one?
By the end of the service,
everyone had laughed and
cried. It was clear a life had
been well-lived, had touched
countless others and had left
behind warm and comforting
memories.
Contrast that with an
obituary that ran in the Reno
(Nev.) Gazette-Journal this
past week:
Marianne Theresa John-
son-Reddick born Jan. 4,
1935, and died alone on (Aug.)
30, 2013. She is survived by
her 6 of 8 children whom she
spent her lifetime torturing
in every way possible.
The obituary, submitted
by her children, went on to
blast the woman as
mean and abusive:
Everyone she
met, adult or child,
was tortured by
her cruelty and ex-
posure to violence,
criminal activity,
vulgarity and ha-
tred of the gentle
or kind human
spirit.
Far from the
tears shed at the
funeral I attended,
this womans off-
spring were glad
she was gone:
We celebrate her
passing from this
earth and hope she lives in
the afterlife reliving each
gesture of violence, cruelty
and shame that she delivered
on her children. Her surviv-
ing children will now live
the rest of their lives with
the peace of knowing their
nightmare fnally has some
form of closure.
Wow. I guess may she rest
in peace is out of the ques-
tion.
You wonder how awful this
woman had to be to be memo-
rialized this way. According
to an Associated Press ac-
count, the children had been
removed from her care in the
1960s and had been estranged
for more than 30 years. Their
case was so awful that it
helped lead to legislation in
Nevada allowing children to
sever ties to abusive parents.
Everything in there was
completely true, Patrick
Reddick told the AP. He
called his mother a wicked,
wicked witch and said that
while the main purpose of
the obituary was to bring at-
tention to child abuse, it was
also to shame her a little
bit.
Still, this was three decades
since theyd had to deal with
her. The social norm when
someone dies is to shout the
good and whisper the bad
or at the very least, say
nothing part of what is
suggested by the term pay-
ing your respects.
But as Johnson-Reddick
proves, that doesnt govern
every death. Or every life.
And the abuse you dish out
may come back to you.
Most of what we do in this
world is a rehearsal for our
funeral. No matter how much
you say, write or decree, in
the end, you are summed up
in speech and print by oth-
ers, their memories, their
impressions.
What will they say about
you after youre gone? The
only similarity between
these two mothers is that
they were eulogized not by a
list of accomplishments, but
by how they treated others.
Something to keep in mind if
youre thinking about your
legacy.

Sept. 17 1913
Two sheriff deputies
decided to walk to the
fair grounds rather than
spend the 15 cent shuttle
fare. When they crossed
the Haring Street bridge,
a vehicle came along
without the passenger
sign on it. When the
owner shouted, Ride to
the grounds boys, the
two deputies entered the
vehicle. Upon arrival, the
driver asked for fares.
Sept. 17, 1963
Three Harrietta men
were in a Pontiac hospi-
tal as a result of injuries
sustained in a car crash
Sunday near Pontiac.
They were reported to
be headed to Detroit for
work. The three men
were Michael Ball, Lloyd
Chandler and Jerry Glad-
ing. Chandler was re-
portedly driving the car
when the crash occurred.
Chandler received bro-
ken ribs, a sprained
ankle and bruises dur-
ing the crash. Glading
suffered a crushed right
arm, broken pelvis and
ribs. Ball suffered a con-
cussion. The families of
the three men were all in
Pontiac.
Sept. 17, 1988
Harold Burchett, a
parent in the Pine River
Area Schools district,
sought 800 petition signa-
tures from district resi-
dents who pledged to vote
yes in another millage
election. Voters twice
rejected two proposals,
one for 3.5 mills for one
year and another for one
mill for fve years for
maintenance. The mill-
age defeats caused the
board to cut the 1988-89
budget by eliminating all
sports except varsity and
cutting transportation.
Board member William
Johnson said he was
not in favor of another
election unless they had
a guarantee of 800-900
yes votes.

On Sept. 17, 1862,
more than 3,600 men
were killed, many more
wounded, captured or left
missing, in the Civil War
Battle of Antietam (an-

although the battle itself
proved inconclusive, it
effectively halted the
Confederates advance
into Maryland.
In 1787, the Constitu-
tion of the United States
was completed and

CHICAGO (AP) Al-
most 1 in 10 U.S. high
school seniors have en-
gaged in recent extreme
binge drinking down-
ing at least 10 drinks at a
rate that barely budged
over six years, according
to a government-funded
report.
Less severe binge drink-
ing, consuming five or
more drinks in a row, has
mostly declined in recent
years among teens. But for
high school seniors, the
2011 rate for 10 drinks in
a row 9.6 percent was
down only slightly from
2005.
The most extreme level
15 or more drinks in a
row within the past two
weeks didnt change
from 2005 to 2011. Almost
6 percent of high school
seniors reported recently
drinking that amount.
The number of seniors
engaging in the most ex-
treme drinking is re-
ally concerning because
theyre most at risk for
the really severe conse-
quences, including reck-
less driving, car accidents
and alcohol poisoning, said
lead researcher Megan Pat-
rick of the University of
Michigans Institute for So-
cial Research.
Extreme binge drinking
may be a behavior thats
more entrenched among
some teens, and thus hard-
er to change, Patrick said.
The new report is an
analysis of survey results
that the university does
for the National Institute
on Drug Abuse. Its based
on classroom question-
naires given to more than
16,000 high school seniors;
a question on extreme
binge drinking was added
in 2005.
Whites and males were
the most likely to engage
in all levels of binge drink-
ing, the report found. Stu-
dents with more educated
parents had higher rates of
binge drinking than other
kids, but lower rates of ex-
treme binge drinking.
Extreme binge drinking
was most common in rural
areas and the Midwest and
least common in the West.
The report was published
online Monday in JAMA
Pediatrics.
Young adults gener-
ally have higher levels of
extreme drinking; a 2012
survey by the same group
found that more than 1 in
4 people aged 19 to 30 had
recently consumed at least
10 drinks in a row and
more than 1 in 10 had at
least 15 drinks in a row.
A journal editorial says
the new report may help
explain why hospitaliza-
tions for alcohol and drug
overdoses among teens
and young adults have in-
creased in recent years de-
spite ongoing declines in
less severe binge drinking.
Extreme binge drinking not uncommon in high school

Cadillac native living through Colorado fooding
BOULDER, Colo. Mon-
day the sun was shining in
Boulder, Colo., which is a
stark contrast to the past
several days that has had
torrential downpours and
fooding.
Twenty-two-year-old Ca-
dillac native and University
of Colorado senior Kelsey
Wotila said the rain that
started on Monday finally
started to calm down on Sat-
urday but not before a large
part of the state was ran-
sacked by flooding. Emer-
gency offcials offered a frst
glimpse at the scope of the
damage. Counties reported
some 1,500 homes have been
destroyed and about 17,500
damaged, according to an
initial estimate released
Sunday by the Colorado Of-
fce of Emergency Manage-
ment.
There were moments
where it was scary, Wo-
tila said. We got a text that
said, Wall of water flow-
ing down Boulder Canyon.
Seek higher ground.
Although Wotila said she
never had to evacuate her
home, the university as well
as local public schools had
been closed since Thursday.
While the campus reopened
on Monday, Wotila said her
professors had canceled
classes and commuters un-
able to make it would not
have the absences counted
against them.
With the flooding claim-
ing lives, Wotila said she
was lucky that, for the most
part, she never felt in real
danger. She simply listened
to the various warnings
and stayed away from the
food waters.
Weary Colorado evacu-
ees have begun returning
home after days of rain
and fooding, but Mondays
clearing skies and receding
waters revealed only more
heartbreak: toppled hous-
es, upended vehicles and a
stinking layer of muck cov-
ering everything.
Rescuers grounded by
weekend rains took advan-
tage of the break in the
weather to resume search-
es for people still stranded,
with 21 helicopters fanning
out over the mountainsides
and the plains to drop sup-
plies and airlift those who
need help.
The number of dead and
missing people was dif-
ficult to pinpoint. State
emergency offcials report-
ed the death toll at seven
Monday, but local offcials
said it was four, with two
women missing and pre-
sumed dead. Authorities
also recovered a body from
a Colorado Springs creek
Monday, but investigators
cant say yet if the death is
related to recent flooding
in the area.
The number of missing
people was dropping as
the states count fell Mon-
day from just over 1,200 to
about half that. State of-
ficials hoped the overall
number would continue to
drop with rescuers reach-
ing more people and phone
service being restored.

Cadillac council notebook
New clerk, 4-way stop, recycling discussed
New clerk ready to serve
community
After a strange turn of
events that led to the pre-
viously appointed city
clerk to resign after about
a week on the job, the Ca-
dillac City Council ap-
proved the appointment
of Sandra Wasson to the
position.
The council voted by a
tally of 4-0 to approve the
appointment by Cadil-
lac City Manager Marcus
Peccia. Council member
Shari Spoelman was not
at Mondays meeting.
Wasson, as well as her
family, were at Mondays
meeting and she said she
was excited and honored
for the opportunity to be-
come city clerk. Although
she was sworn in Monday,
she will not assume her
duties until next week so
she can fulfll her duties
at her current job at a lo-
cal manufacturer.
The city originally re-
ceived 47 applications for
the position, and eight
candidates were selected
for interviews. These in-
terviews were conducted
by the city manager, the
director of finance and
the human resources co-
ordinator. These three
team members, in addi-
tion to Mayor Bill Bar-
nett, subsequently inter-
viewed three candidates
for a second time. Wasson
was the candidate chosen
for the job.
About two weeks af-
ter it made the first ap-
pointment and almost a
week after new Cadillac
City Clerk Kyle Ecker
resigned, the council re-
scinded its appointment
on Sept. 3.
Wording cleaned up
for refuse/recycling
ordinance
After months of discus-
sion, the Cadillac City
Council amended its city
code in August to include
mandatory curbside recy-
cling.
Roughly one month later,
the council held a public
hearing and amended vari-
ous portions of Article 2,
Chapter 32 of the citys
code regarding refuse and
recycling. The purpose of
the multiple amendments
was to clean up language
that was found to be con-
fusing or misleading. The
changes deal with storage
bins and allowing city resi-
dents to contact the vendor
to receive a lid if they need
one for their recycling bin
as well as adjustments that
allow for scavengers to take
items not contained within
a refuse or recycling bin as
well as the collection sched-
ule. The council voted 4-0 to
accept the amendment.
Resident and landlord
Gordie Maxwell spoke dur-
ing the public comment
portion of the public hear-
ing. As he has stated in the
several previous meetings
where recycling was dis-
cussed, he told the council
that he was opposed to the
mandatory recycling. He
also told the council he be-
lieves that an invoice should
be sent to every resident
the service will impact that
asks if they are in favor of
it, allowing for an accurate
summary of the people who
want the service.
Later in the meeting, Ca-
dillac City Manager Mar-
cus Peccia said in the next
week, residents would fnd
a brochure explaining the
new recycling service in
their utility bill, which in-
cludes what items would
be taken as well as contact
numbers to call if there are
questions and a schedule for
pick up. He added that bins
will begin being dropped off
next week with the start of
the program being Oct. 1.
When the service does
begin, residents will be
charged $2.50 a month for
biweekly recycling, regard-
less if they use the service
or not.
Council moves forward
with looking at
intersection options
An initial discussion was
had regarding whether a
four-way stop should be
used at the intersection of
Carmel and Stimson streets.
Cadillac City Manager
Marcus Peccia said at the
last council meeting it was
suggested that a brief sur-
vey be mailed out to resi-
dents in a three block area
of the intersection asking
for input about the creation
of the four-way stop.
The 151 letters were sent
with the instruction to
only respond if you were
opposed to the creation of
the traffic control and not
to respond if a person was
indifferent or supportive. A
vast majority of the surveys
were not returned with 13
responding against it.
Resident Jan Byrne at-
tended Mondays meeting
and said she has lived in
the area of the intersec-
tion for 38 years and in her
opinion she has never found
there to be heavy traffc on
Stimson Street. She also
believed that instead of a
four-way stop more signage
that the area is a school
zone and more speed limit
signs might help. She also
thought if stop signs were
going to be installed they
should be erected at the in-
tersection of Carmel and
Evart streets where there
is not traffc control rather
than where there is another
stop sign in two blocks.
With no need to take ac-
tion Monday, the council
voted to continue to solicit
feedback from Cadillac Ar-
ea Public Schools and other
residents for the implemen-
tation of a four way stop
or other traffc safety mea-
sures at the intersection.

Man sentenced in Paula
Deen extortion
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP)
The man accused of
trying to extort $200,000
from embattled Southern
celebrity chef Paula Deen
has been sentenced to two
years in federal prison.
Thomas George Pacu-
lis (PAK-yew-lus), of
Newfeld, N.Y., was sen-
tenced Monday and the
Savannah Morning News
reported he also was or-
dered to serve a year of
supervised release.
In August, 62-year-old
Paculis pleaded guilty in
federal court to trying to
make a deal with Deens
attorney to sign a nondis-
closure agreement after
he threatened to publicly
reveal damaging informa-
tion about her.
Prosecutors dropped
one of two charges in ex-
change for the plea.
Paculis threat was
made as the celebrity chef
lost major endorsements
stemming from allega-
tions of racial discrimi-
nation at her Savannah
restaurant. Paculis said
some bad economic
times factored into his
attempt.
Report: Drug-resistant
bacteria are common
killers
ATLANTA (AP) For
the frst time, the govern-
ment is estimating how
many people die from
drug-resistant bacteria
each year more than
23,000, or about as many
as those killed annually
by fu.
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention
released the number Mon-
day to spotlight the grow-
ing threat of germs that
are hard to treat because
theyve become resistant
to drugs.
Finally estimating the
problem sends a very
powerful message, said
Dr. Helen Boucher, a Tufts
University expert and
spokeswoman for the In-
fectious Diseases Society
of America.
Antibiotics like penicil-
lin and streptomycin frst
became widely available
in the 1940s, and today
dozens are used to kill
or suppress the bacteria
behind illnesses ranging
from strep throat to the
plague. The drugs are con-
sidered one of the greatest
advances in the history of
medicine, and have saved
countless lives.
But as decades passed,
some antibiotics stopped
working against the bugs
they previously van-
quished. Experts say their
overuse and misuse have
helped make them less ef-
fective.
In a new report, the
CDC tallied the toll of the
17 most worrisome drug-
resistant bacteria. The re-
sult: Each year, more than
2 million people develop
serious infections and at
least 23,000 die.
Of those, the staph
infection MRSA, or meth-
icillin-resistant Staphy-
lococcus aureus, kills
about 11,000, and a new
superbug kills about 600.
That bacteria withstand
treatment with antibiotics
called carbapenems
considered one of the last
lines of defense against
hard-to-treat bugs.
Germs like those have
prompted health offcials
to warn that if the situ-
ation gets much worse,
it could make doctors
reluctant to do surgery
or treat cancer patients if
antibiotics wont protect
their patients from getting
infections.

Aaron Alexis seems a
study in contradictions: a
former Navy reservist, a
Defense Department con-
tractor, a convert to Bud-
dhism who was taking an
online course in aeronau-
tics. But he also had fashes
of temper that led to run-
ins with police over shoot-
ings in Fort Worth, Texas,
and Seattle.
A profle be-
gan to emerge
Monday of
the man au-
thorities iden-
tified as the
gunman in a
mass shoot-
ing at the
Navy Yard
in Washing-
t on, D. C. ,
that left 13
people dead,
including the
34- year- ol d
man. While
some neigh-
bors and ac-
quaintances
d e s c r i b e d
him as nice,
his f ather
once told de-
tectives in Se-
attle that his
son had anger
management
problems re-
lated to post-
t r a u ma t i c
stress brought on by the ter-
ror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
At the time of the shoot-
ings, he worked for The Ex-
perts, a subcontractor on
an HP Enterprise Services
contract to refresh equip-
ment used on the Navy
Marine Corps Intranet net-
work.
His life over the past de-
cade has been checkered.
Alexis lived in Seattle in
2004 and 2005, according to
public documents. In 2004,
Seattle police said, Alexis
was arrested for shooting
out the tires of another
mans vehicle in what he lat-
er described to detectives as
an anger-fueled blackout.
According to an account on
the departments website,
two construction workers
had parked their Honda
Accord in the driveway of
their worksite, next to a
home where
Alexis was
staying. The
workers re-
ported seeing
a man, later
identified by
police as Alex-
is, walk out
of the home
next to their
worksite, pull
a gun from
his waistband
and fre three
shots into the
rear tires of
their Honda
bef ore he
walked slowly
back to his
home.
When de-
tectives in-
t e r v i e we d
workers at the
construction
site, they told
police Alexis
had stared at
construction
workers at the job site daily
for several weeks prior to
the shooting. The owner
of the construction busi-
ness told police he believed
Alexis was angry over the
parking situation around
the site.
Police eventually ar-
rested Alexis, searched his
home, found a gun and am-
munition in his room, and
booked him into the King
County Jail for malicious
mischief.
According to the police
account, Alexis told detec-
tives he perceived he had
been mocked by construc-
tion workers the morning
of the incident. Alexis also
claimed he had an anger-fu-
eled blackout, and could
not remember firing his
gun at the Honda until an
hour after the incident.
Alexis also told police he
was present during the
tragic events of Sept. 11,
2001 and described how
those events had disturbed
him.
Then, on May 5, 2007, he
enlisted in the Navy re-
serves, serving through
2011, according to Navy
spokeswoman Lt. Megan
Shutka.
Shutka said he received
the National Defense Ser-
vice Medal and the Global
War on Terrorism Service
Medal during his stint in
the reserves. Both are med-
als issued to large num-
bers of service members
who served abroad and in
the United States since the
9/11 attacks. Alexis last as-
signment was as aviation
electricians mate 3rd class
at the Naval Air Station
Joint Reserve Base in Fort
Worth, Shutka said.
It was while he was
still in the reserves that a
neighbor in Fort Worth re-
ported she had been nearly
struck by a bullet shot from
his downstairs apartment.
In September 2010, Fort
Worth police questioned
Alexis about the neighbors
report; he admitted to fr-
ing his weapon but said
he was cleaning his gun
when it accidentally dis-
charged. He said he didnt
call the police because he
didnt think the bullet went
through to the other apart-
ment. The neighbor told
police she was scared of
Alexis and felt he fred in-
tentionally because he had
complained about her mak-
ing too much noise.
Alexis was arrested on
suspicion of discharging
a frearm within city lim-
its but Tarrant County
district attorneys spokes-
woman Melody McDonald
Lanier said the case was
not pursued after it was
determined the gun dis-
charged accidentally.
After leaving the re-
serves, Alexis worked as a
waiter and delivery driver
at the Happy Bowl Thai
restaurant in White Settle-
ment, a suburb of Fort
Worth, according to Afton
Bradley, a former co-work-
er. The two overlapped for
about eight months before
Alexis left in May, Bradley
said.
Having traveled to Thai-
land, Alexis learned some
Thai and could speak to
Thai customers in their na-
tive language.
He was a very nice per-
son, Bradley said in a
phone interview. It kind
of blows my mind away. I
wouldnt think anything
bad at all.
A former acquaintance,
Oui Suthametewakul, said
Alexis lived with him and
his wife from August 2012 to
May 2013 in Fort Worth, but
that they had to part ways
because he wasnt paying
his bills. Alexis was a nice
guy, Suthametewakul said,
though he sometimes car-
ried a gun and would fre-
quently complain about be-
ing the victim of discrimi-
nation.
Gunman in Navy Yard
shooting was in Navy Reserves
While some
neighbors and
acquaintances
described him as
nice, his father
once told detectives
in Seattle that his
son had anger
management
problems related
to post-traumatic
stress brought on by
the terror attacks of
Sept. 11, 2001.

Porcello sharp, Tigers beat Seattle
by NOAH TRISTER
ap baseball wriTer
DETROIT Rick Porcello
struck out 10 in six innings
and the Detroit Tigers beat
the Seattle Mariners 4-2 on
Monday night to move a step
closer to their third straight
AL Central title.
Victor Martinez broke a
1-all tie in the sixth with a
run-scoring single, and Omar
Infante followed with his own
RBI single.
Porcello (13-8) allowed a run
and fve hits with two walks,
falling one strikeout short of
his career high.
Drew Smyly got fve outs in
relief and Jose Veras fnished
the eighth.
Joaquin Benoit pitched a
hitless ninth for his 21st save
in 21 chances.
The Tigers have a six-game
lead over
Cleveland in
the division.
Joe Saun-
ders (11-15)
pitched well
until the
sixth, when
he got two
outs before
a walk and
three hits
chased him
from the game.
Abraham Almonte hom-
ered for Seattle, which has
lost seven of eight.
It was tied at 1 in the sixth
when Miguel Cabrera walked
and Prince Fielder followed
with a single.
Martinezs single up the
line in right feld scored
Cabrera, and Infante lined a
single to left to make it 3-1.
That rally made a winner
of Porcello, who has bounced
back nicely after giving up
eight earned runs in a 20-4
loss to Boston on Sept. 4.
Porcello pitched his frst
career complete game in a
win over the Chicago White
Sox last Tuesday, and he was
sharp against the punchless
Mariners as well.
The Tigers took a 1-0 lead in
the frst when Torii Hunter
and Cabrera hit back-to-back
singles, and Hunter came
home on a wild pitch.
After that mistake, Saun-
ders quieted Detroit, allowing
no more than one baserunner
in any inning until the sixth.

Detroit Lions' Reggie Bush (21) is attended to by training and medical staff after injuring his leg during the frst half of a game against the
Arizona Cardinals on Sunday in Glendale, Ariz.
Sigh of Relief
Lions say tests show Bush isnt injured long term
by LARRy LAGE
The associaTed press
ALLEN PARK Reggie Bush got
hopeful results from an MRI on his
banged-up left knee, allowing the De-
troit Lions to breathe a sigh of relief.
"The tests (Monday) were encourag-
ing," Lions coach Jim Schwartz said.
"He's going to be sore, but he doesn't
have anything that's long term."
That's good news for a team that
needs the speedy running back in its of-
fense to add to receiver Calvin Johnson
and quarterback Matthew Stafford.
When Bush has been healthy for
nearly six quarters, Detroit has beaten
the Minnesota Vikings 34-21 and led
Arizona 14-10 at halftime.
Without him playing much of the
third quarter Sunday, the Lions were
held scoreless offensively in the second
half of a 25-21 loss to the Cardinals.
"Our offense was moving very well in
the frst half, we were converting third
downs," Schwartz said. "In the second
half, I don't think we converted one. He
meant a lot. Calvin was making a lot
more plays in the frst half because of the
dynamic of Reggie.
"When he went
out of the game, we
weren't really able to
maintain that."
The Lions (1-1) don't
know or aren't say-
ing if they expect
Bush to play Sunday
at Washington (0-2) or
if he'll need at least a
game off to heal.
"I guess it could be medium term,"
Schwartz said. "It's too hard to speculate
on injuries, and that's why I usually don't. I
don't like putting any kind tag on things be-
cause you never know how people are going
to react to anything."
Bush took a helmet to his left knee in
the second quarter on a short pass he
turned into a 26-yard reception. He en-
tered the game later in the frst half and
played sparingly in the third quarter
before going to the sideline for the rest
of the game.
"I was cleared to come back," Bush
told reporters on Sunday in Arizona. "I
felt like I could run. I just wasn't myself.
It was best for me not go in."
Bush accounted for 69 yards of of-
fense in two-plus quarters against the
Cardinals. He had 191 yards from scrim-
mage in an opening-week win over Min-
nesota in his Detroit debut.
The Lions signed the free agent to
a $16 million, four-year deal in the of-
fense, banking on him being the run-
and pass-receiving threat that Jahvid
Best was before concussions ended his
career with the franchise.
"If we're going to be without him, we're
going to need to fnd other ways to move
the ball and other ways to score because
we didn't get that done in the second half,"
Schwartz said. "He's a good ft in our of-
fense, and we're going to work to get him
back as soon as we can."
If Detroit doesn't have Bush in the line-
up, it will likely start Joique Bell and make
2011 second-round pick Mikel Leshoure
active for the frst time this season.
Whomever the Lions have on the feld,
they will be trying to break the fran-
chise's winless ways in Washington.
Detroit has lost 18 straight in the regu-
lar season on the road against the Red-
skins, a skid that trails only its 21-game
streak against the Packers on the road.

After poor performance at home, Wolverines hit the road
The associaTed press
ANN ARBOR After one
of its worst performances
in the Big House, No. 15
Michigan is about to take
its show on the road.
And Wolverines coach
Brady Hoke is going to be
staying up nights thinking
about it.
"It's something I always
worry about, and it is worse
because we've got such a
young team," Hoke said
about this week's trip to
East Hartford to face Con-
necticut.
"I think we should take a
lot of nannies on this trip,
or, what do they call them?
Au pairs? We've got a lot of
freshmen who have never
been to a road game and
we've got guys who red-
shirted last year, so the only
time they traveled was to
the bowl game."
Michigan's seniors are
generally expected to take
the young
players
under
their wing
for the
frst road
trip, and
no one is
going to
do more
of that
than senior captain Taylor
Lewan.
"As the only offensive cap-
tain, it's on me to explain to
these guys what they need
to do to win on the road," Le-
wan said. "It's different than
it is in high school, where
every one of these guys was
the best player on the team,
and they were riding buses
to road games. This is Divi-
sion I, and it is hard to win
on the road.
"We haven't played well on
the road in the last couple
years, and it has cost us our
shot at winning champion-
ships. We can't keep doing
this, and I'm not going to let
them. I'm running out of
time in my career I want
to win now."
UConn isn't exactly a mar-
quee opponent, but Hoke
and Lewan aren't worried
about overconfdence after
Saturday's debacle against
Akron. Facing a team com-
ing off three straight 1-11
seasons, Michigan (3-0) had
to make two defensive stops
inside the 5-yard line to
hang on for a 28-24 victory.
By the time Hoke got to
the podium for his post-
game press conference, he
knew exactly how he has
going to reward his team for
the performance.
"I knew at about 4:07 on
Saturday what we were go-
ing to do," he said. "We went
out and practiced with hel-
mets and shoulder pads, the
whole thing. I wouldn't say
the kids were excited about
it, but they accepted it. I
was excited, though."

TRAVERSE CITY This went
from bad to even worse.
Cadillac had a chance
to score a win in game
one, but couldnt do it and
ended up dropping a key
Big North Conference vol-
leyball match to Traverse
City West on Monday.
The Titans beat the Vi-
kings 26-24, 25-23, 25-20.
The loss drops Cadillac
(19-4-1 overall) a game be-
hind the Titans in the league
standings. They meet again
Oct. 16 in Cadillac.
The Vikings had game
point in the opening set
but a missed serve gave
West the momentum it
needed.
Unfortunately, when we
gave away that frst game,
that set the tone, Cadil-
lac coach Michelle Brines
said. Had we won that frst
game, the match might have
gone differently.
We had 25 errors and
they played very well. It
seems like everything they
touched turned to gold.
With a couple of weeks in
the schedule before TC Cen-
tral and West come around
again, Brines said her team
will get back to work.
When you lose, it expos-
es things you need to work
on, she said. Theres
some things we need to
change and get better at.
Selena Golnick paced
Cadillac with 14 kills, three
aces and a block while
Hannah Baker had 28 as-
sists, two aces, a block and
a kill. Morgan Kelley had
seven kills and two blocks
while Morgan Briggs had
seven kills and an ace.

TC West won the JV

LOST STREAM MAP
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 frst 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 landfll.
The few remaining dog-eared copies became a prized fshermans 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.

Nasty weather plaguing NFL
By BARRy WILNER
ap pro Football writer
Nasty weather often
plagues the NFL. Everyone
knows about the Lambeau
tundra or the whipping
winter winds off Lake Erie
in Cleveland.
But for Mother Nature to
wreak havoc with games
in September? That doesn't
bode well for the rest of the
season.
Already, three games,
including two in prime
time, have been disrupted
by weather issues, mostly
lightning. Kickoff for the
Ravens-Broncos opener
to the season on Sept. 5 in
Denver was delayed for 33
minutes.
On Sunday, New Orleans'
visit to Tampa Bay was
interrupted for 69 minutes.
And the showcase matchup
of San Francisco at Seattle
went through a one-hour
delay in the frst quarter
Sunday night.
Hardly ideal for the
teams, the fans, or the folks
watching on TV.
But necessary.
"We knew ahead of time
we would have weather
sometime during the game,
early in the game," said
Mike Kensil, the league's
vice president of game op-
erations who was in Seattle
on Sunday. "We have a secu-
rity meeting at 100 minutes
(before kickoff), at 90 min-
utes a meeting with the TV
teams, and we go through
the scenarios in case there
is weather.
"We go through our mete-
orological services and the
services the stadium uses.
Safety is paramount."
Lightning is the biggest
worry because it's so un-
predictable and dangerous,
Kensil said. The NFL and
stadium authorities track
any storm that includes
lightning, and when it gets
within 5 miles, meteorolo-
gists try to predict its path
toward the stadium.
"Last night, it was track-
ing to come right over the
stadium," Kensil added.
"We knew within a mile
and a half of the stadium
we would have to clear the
feld. As we were clear-
ing the feld, we had a bolt
of lightning somewhere
(nearby)."
Scoreboard messages, pub-
lic address system announce-
ments and word of mouth all
are used to clear a stadium.
Fans generally are sent into
the covered corridors or even
into lounges until the storm
clears the area.
It's an awkward process
for the players. Already in
the midst of heavy action,
they not only have to stop
playing for a lengthy break,
but then need to fre up
their engines again.
"I've never had a rain de-
lay, ever, in football," Saints
safety Malcolm Jenkins
said. "It was kind of one
of those things, you don't
want to do too much and
wear yourself out. We sat
around a little bit and once
they gave us that 10-minute
warning (to return to the
feld), we started to warm
up again and go over some
last minute checks and
started over.
"We did the same pre-
game ritual that we usually
do, we just restarted the
whole process."
Seahawks quarterback
Russell Wilson took a
shower during the interrup-
tion. He probably had time
for a few of them because,
according to coach Pete
Carroll, game offcials told
the teams several times
they would be heading back
to the feld, only to further
delay resuming play.
Seattle's coaches reviewed
plays from the 11 minutes
that were played and dis-
cussed adjustments.
"Absolutely we did," Car-
roll said.
"It was a great opportuni-
ty for us; I'm sure they were
doing the same thing. We
did all kinds of things in all
phases where it was needed.
We coached throughout the
time, other than when the
music was blaring in the
locker room."

Green Bay Packers' Randall Cobb (18) gets past Washington
Redskins' Brandon Meriweather after a catch during the frst half
of a game Sunday in Green Bay, Wis.
Packers offense rolls on yards after catch
By GENARO C. ARMAS
the associated press
GREEN BAY, Wis. The
"YAC" attack is thriving
once more in Green Bay.
Passing yardage statistics
can be deceiving. Those
gains through the air aren't
always about the throw and
the catch it's the yards
gained after the catch that
can result in big plays.
Aaron Rodgers may have
set a career high with 480
yards passing in the 38-20
victory Sunday over the
Redskins, but targets James
Jones, Randall Cobb, Jordy
Nelson and Jermichael
Finley gained a lot of those
yards with what they did
following the catch.
The Packers had 295
"yards after catch" against
the Redskins, their most in
any game since 1992 and the
second most by any team
in that period, according
to STATS, LLC. Only the
Houston Oilers had more,
348 on Nov. 15, 1992 against
Minnesota.
"Just guys being athletic
I guess, nothing much,"
Nelson said Monday when
asked why the receivers ex-
celled in getting yards after
the catch.
Some guys will try to stiff
arm a cornerback to break
free. The speedy Cobb can
make people miss in space.
And 6-foot-5 tight end Finley
might drop his shoulder to
bowl over a defender.
"I mean, there's not a rec-
ipe for it. It's just catching
the ball and then making
the frst guy miss one way
or another," Nelson said.
Sounds simple enough. Ev-
ery receiver wants to gain as
many yards as possible.
But in Green Bay, it's long
been a key to the offense.
"I mean, the emphasis has
always been there, but we're
just trying to coach it better
and the players are doing a
better job at it," coach Mike
McCarthy said.
"The timing of the throw
and the routes are more in
sync. It creates another half
yard of separation as op-
posed to when you're not as
in sync. So all those things
factor."
As always, Rodgers gets
things started with his
knack of getting the ball
to his receivers at just the
right time. He fnished 34
for 42 with no interceptions
on Sunday.
According to the Packers,
Rodgers became just the
second quarterback in NFL
history to throw for more
than 480 yards and four
touchdowns without throw-
ing a pick. The Giants' Y.A.
Tittle also accomplished the
feat in 1952 against ... the
Redskins.
Rodgers was quick Sun-
day to give credit to his re-
ceiving corps.
"We had a lot of yards
after catch," he said. "It was
480 yards, but how much of
that was YAC?"
Jones (178 yards) and Cobb
(128) each had career highs
in yards receiving. Nelson
caught two touchdowns. Fin-
ley had six receptions and a
score despite being bothered
last week by a sore toe, then
cramps on Sunday.
Briggs realizes Bears toeing thin line at 2-0
By ANDREW SELIGMAN
LAKE FOREST, Ill. Lance Briggs
understands just how thin a line the Chi-
cago Bears are toeing at the moment.
They could easily be winless rather
than unbeaten, and they just might be
regrouping from a loss had Jay Cutler
not delivered a perfect pass to Martellus
Bennett in the closing seconds to beat the
Minnesota Vikings 31-30 on Sunday.
That came on the heels of a season-
opening win over Cincinnati in which they
rallied from 11 down in the second half.
That line between 2-0 and 0-2?
"It's minute, very, very small," Briggs
said on Monday.
"In those critical situations, a guy could
just as easily gotten his hand up, come
through that line, gotten a sack, disrupted
the throw, or the throw be a little to the
left or right, and we lose that game."
He said the Bears are "starting to create
an identity," and resilient is looking like a
good description.
That doesn't mean they're a polished
bunch. It would help if they got more
from their pass rush, starting this week
at Pittsburgh, and that largely hinges on
a healthy Julius Peppers.
He's been a nonfactor so far and the
Bears have just two sacks so far. Peppers
sat out some preseason practices because
of a hamstring issue, and he was sent
home from the Bears' facility last week
because of fu symptoms, missing prac-
tice on Thursday.
He played against the Vikings, but
coach Marc Trestman said he was prob-
ably feeling worse than he did in the days
leading up to the game.
"I don't know that he had the energy to
play as hard as he possibly could play,"
Trestman said. "I thought he was in-
volved, he ran some plays down, but over-
all, in his defense I think that he wasn't
getting better at the time. He was still not
ascending, and he didn't look well to me
this morning when I saw him in the meet-
ing as well."
He said the wet conditions hindered the
pass rush and that it will improve with
Peppers healthy. That issue aside, there
are plenty of positives the Bears can take
from the frst two games.
Cutler has been sacked just once behind
a rebuilt line. The Bears are getting bal-
ance in the passing game with Brandon
Marshall and Matt Forte at 15 catches
and Bennett with 10. Devin Hester re-
member him? re-emerged as a force on
kickoff returns, running back fve for a
team-record 249 yards against Minnesota.
All those were encouraging signs, as
was this: The Bears showed again they're
at least a resilient bunch even if they're
not quite a fnished product and that they
can pull out games late.
"We've seen a unique team resiliency,
an ability to keep our poise, an ability to
just move onto the next play without what
happened on the last play inhibiting us,"
Trestman said. "What's exciting now is
we have to do it. We don't have the help of
our fans, we don't have the help of Soldier
Field. We've got to go do it on our own
and this will be the frst week we'll have a
chance to do that."
Down six after the Vikings' Blair Walsh
kicked a 22-yard feld goal with just over
three minutes left, the Bears didn't finch.
They took over at the 34 and quickly made
their move.

Local athletes competing at the collegiate level
SpinGate spun out of control early
By JENNA FRyER
ap auto raciNg Writer
JOLIET, Ill. Everything
could have been handled
better from the moment
Clint Bowyer spun at Rich-
mond to trigger the biggest
credibility crisis in NAS-
CAR history.
That spin started as the
well-intentioned desire to
help a teammate earn a
valuable spot in NASCAR's
version of the playoffs,
and with a little honesty, a
few deep breaths and some
clear thinking, it might
have ended there.
Instead, the situation
snowballed, and NASCAR
quickly had a full-blown
scandal on its hands.
So on the eve of the open-
ing race of the Chase for the
Sprint Cup championship,
chairman Brian France gath-
ered all the competitors of his
family-built series and tersely
ordered them to give 100 per-
cent at all times going forward.
That's right, the lasting
slogan of this dark chapter
for NASCAR will forever be
"give 100 percent."
Where did things go so
wrong?
There was no spin on the
spin: Bowyer's attempt to
bring out a caution was at
minimum poor sportsman-
ship, but not uncommon in
NASCAR. It just happened
to be a big race with high
stakes and a lot of people
watching. His Michael
Waltrip Racing crew chief
had the bright idea to help
Martin Truex Jr. stave off
elimination from the Chase,
and instructed Bowyer over
his radio to "itch" his arm.
Bowyer did have poison
oak, but the command was
so bizarre it was immedi-
ately recognized as an obvi-
ous code word. Bowyer also
did himself no favors after
the race, denying intent
during a deer-in-headlights
interview on live TV.
NASCAR, apparently
unaware of the in-car audio
conversation, dismissed as
implausible the notion Bow-
yer might have intention-
ally spun. That only fueled
conspiracy theorists.
When audio the next day
revealed MWR general man-
ager Ty Norris ordered a
confused Brian Vickers to pit
late in the race in an attempt
to help Truex, NASCAR sud-
denly had a serious problem.
It's doubtful, though, the
two MWR teams were ever
working in concert. Noth-
ing has indicated the play-
ers involved were smart
enough to successfully
execute any level of this
conspiracy. And the entire
organization went into lock-
down for almost 48 hours,
with team owner Waltrip
carrying on with his du-
ties as analyst for a Truck
Series race with no mention
of the controversy, even as
rage was clearly building
among race fans.
NASCAR also said little
beyond confrming it was
investigating the two inci-
dents. So by the time NAS-
CAR did act, critics were in
full voice, demanding stern
punishment for MWR.
The wrong penalty was
issued: NASCAR wanted to
send a message in issuing
serious sanctions against
MWR, and it did with a
$300,000 fne, the indefnite
suspension of Norris and
kicking Truex out of the
Chase in favor of Ryan
Newman, the driver who
would have made it before
Bowyer's spin.

erased when Andrew McCutchen grounded
into an inning-ending double play, and the
right-hander cruised the rest of the way for
his frst complete game in 31 career starts.
Cashner struck out seven and did not walk
a batter.
The Pirates lost for the second time in eight
games after entering the day tied for frst
place in the NL Central with the St. Louis Car-
dinals, who played later at Colorado.
Lee beats Marlins with bat and arm in
Phils win
PHILADELPHIA (AP) Cliff Lee had three
hits, knocked in a career-high four runs and
struck out a season-high 14 to lead the Phila-
delphia Phillies to a 12-2 win over the Miami
Marlins.
Lee (14-6) stroked a two-run, bases-loaded
single to cap off a six-run third inning and al-
so hit his frst career triple in the ffth. Chase
Utley, who also drove in four runs, hit a long
three-run homer in the third.
On the mound, Lee allowed two runs while
scattering eight hits and walking none, at one
point retiring 11 straight en route to winning
his fourth consecutive decision. He is 4-0 with
a 2.05 ERA in his last six starts and 5-1 with a
2.29 lifetime ERA against Miami.
Philadelphia has won six in a row over Mi-
ami.
In his frst major-league start, Sam Dyson
(0-1) allowed seven runs.
Myers homers to lift Rays over Rangers
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) Rookie Wil
Myers homered and had three RBIs, Alex Cobb
pitched eight solid innings, and the Tampa Bay
Rays took the lead for the frst AL wild-card
spot by beating the Texas Rangers 6-2.
Tampa Bay and Texas started play one-half
game ahead of Cleveland, which was at Kan-
sas City, in race for the two wild-card spots.
Myers had a second-inning solo shot and hit
a two-run double during a four-run ffth. Cobb
(9-3) allowed two runs, six hits, one walk and
had 10 strikeouts.
Matt Garza (9-6, 3-5 with Texas) gave up six
runs and eight hits over 4 1/3 innings to lose
his third straight start for the Rangers, who
have lost seven in a row and are 2-12 in Sep-
tember.
The announced crowd was just 10,724. The
Rays entered with the majors lowest home at-
tendance average of 18,747.
Cueto solid in return; Reds top Astros 6-1
HOUSTON (AP) Johnny Cueto threw fve
scoreless innings in his return from the dis-
abled list and Zack Cozart homered and drove
in four runs to help the Cincinnati Reds to a
6-1 win over the Houston Astros.
Pitching for the frst time since straining
the muscle below his right shoulder on June
28, Cueto (5-2) allowed fve hits and struck out
fve with one walk for the win.
Cincinnati moved fve games ahead of
Washington for second NL wild card.
Cozart got things going for the Reds with his
two-run shot to left feld in the second inning.
He added a two-RBI single in the fourth.
The return of Cueto, Cincinnatis opening
day starter the past two seasons, could be a
boost to the Reds as they make a push toward
the postseason.
Royals top Indians 7-1 to open critical
three-game set
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) James Shields
kept the Indians off balance for six innings,
Salvador Perez led a scrappy Kansas City of-
fense and the Royals pounded Cleveland 7-1 to
open a three-game set with signifcant playoff
implications.
Shields struck out a season-high 10 for the
Royals (79-71), who moved within 2 games
of the ALs second wild-card berth.
The Indians (81-69) remained a half-game
back of Texas, which lost to Tampa Bay earli-
er in the night in a matchup of teams leading
the wild-card race.

REED CITY The words
cancer and celebra-
tion usually arent used
in the same sentence un-
til it comes time to an-
nounce remission, but
Thursday, a $9 million
community project one
year in the making will
proudly put those two
words together.
On Sept. 19, Reed City
will celebrate the of-
ficial opening of the
9,000-square feet expan-
sion to the current Cross-
roads Radiation Therapy
Center, part of the Spec-
trum Health medical fa-
cilities.
Kicked off with seed
money from the Wheat-
lake family, the center,
renamed the Susan P.
Wheat l ake Re gi onal
Cancer Center, will of-
fer state-of-the-art can-
cer treatments closer to
home.
Last summer, the Spec-
trum organization broke
ground on the project
that Irene Balowski, Spec-
trum Health director of
cancer services, said will
offer patients the same
kind of high-quality, big-
city care at the Patterson
Road location, as patients
would previously have to
travel hundreds of miles
to receive.
I am so excited about
the things we will be able
to do here for our pa-
tients, said Balowski.
Since the ground-break-
ing, the radiation therapy
has continued to treat
patients at the Reed City
Patterson Road location
as the adjacent addition
has been under construc-
tion, and Balowski said
seeing the project prog-
ress shows that the pa-
tient-centered approach
will make for the most
well-rounded diagnosis
and treatment center she
could have imagined.
As a health care pro-
vider, this is the kind of
thing you dream of being
able to bring to our pa-
tients, she said.
Balowski said in addi-
tion to having all cancer
treatments and diagnosis
under one roof, the cen-
ter is in the process of
bringing in brand-new
diagnostic and treatment
technology.
Included in the big-tick-
et technology items is the
$3.2 million Varian True-
beam linear accelerator,
used for radiation treat-
ments all over the body.
Bal owski sai d t he
equipment is the latest
in radiation treatment by
creating 4-D images, im-
portant for pinpointing
treatment areas accurate-
ly while shortening treat-
ment times.
The center also central-
izes chemotherapy, infu-
sion therapy, a wellness
center offering massages
and acupuncture, and an
on-site pharmacy.
In addition to the treat-
ment technology, the
upgrades also make a
home- away- from- home
caregiver area for those
friends and family assist-
ing patients in treatment.
Part of the $9 million
project was a $2.4 million
community fundraising
match, a goal set by Spec-
trum.
Thanks to business and
individual donations,
that portion is almost
met.
Scotts Body Shop, of
Big Rapids Township,
recently gave a $25,000
donation to the Bringing
Hope Closer to Home Cap-
ital Campaign for the Su-
san P. Wheatlake Regional
Cancer Center.
The donation is the cul-
mination of a nearly year-
long pledge by the business
to donate a portion of sales
from each vehicle repair
and windshield replace-
ment to the regional cancer
center.
Cancer affects everyone
in one way or another, said
Scotts Body Shop co-owner
Bill Edwards. Were hap-
py to support a facility that
will help so many people
close to home.
With the gift, $1.87 mil-
lion has been raised to date
for the capital campaign.
Spectrum CEO Sam
Daugherty said little by lit-
tle, individuals, organiza-
tions and businesses have
stepped up.
There is an owner-
ship in this project and it
has garnered a great deal
of community support,
Daugherty said.
Daugherty said excite-
ment about the center is
growing and plenty of new
patients are already being
referred to the Reed City
location.
We had recognized the
need but the interest al-
ready has surpassed our
expectations, he said.
The centers ribbon cut-
ting ceremony is at 2 p.m.
on Sept. 19, and is open to
the public and will con-
tinue until 6 p.m. with re-
freshments,, self-guided
tours and a chance to visit
with some of the staff.
In the meantime, con-
struction and the re-
mainder of the fundraising
continues.

LANSING Michigan
is losing $229,491 in fed-
eral timber payments this
year because of the budget
sequestration money
that would otherwise be
used for rural roads and
schools, environmental
work in the states three
national forests and coun-
ty wildfre projects.
It represents a 5.1 per-
cent cut in what Michigan
would normally receive as
its share of revenue from
timber sales from Ottawa
and Hiawatha national
forests in the Upper Pen-
insula and Huron-Manist-
ee National Forest in the
northern Lower Peninsu-
la. Combined, they cover
about 2.8 million acres.
The National Associa-
tion of Counties and other
organizations are trying to
persuade the Forest Ser-
vice to restore the money.
Whats known as the
Secure Rural Schools Pro-
gram provides money for
communities where na-
tional forestland is located
because theyre logging
those areas and the coun-
ties would see no revenue
from that, said Ben Bod-
kin, legislative director of
the Michigan Association
of Counties.
Federal land is exempt
from local property taxes.
The value of timber sales
varies from year to year.
Bodkin said, Counties
have been struggling in
Michigan for a decade at
least in the midst of reve-
nue sharing cuts, increased
spending on foster care and
everything we do to make
the wheels of government
run.
Cuts are cuts, he said,
adding that $229,491 may
not be a lot of money for
the state as a whole but it
is important to rural coun-
ties that have much of
their land tied up off the
tax rolls.
In a letter earlier this
year to Gov. Rick Snyder,
U.S. Forest Service Chief
Thomas Tidwell said, We
regret having to take this
action, but must ensure
that the Forest Service
meets the requirements
of the sequestration law.
The total national se-
questered amount is about
$17.9 million. In neighbor-
ing states, Wisconsin is los-
ing $120,159, while Indiana
is losing $13,719 and Ohio
$13,686, Forest Service fg-
ures show. Oregon has the
biggest loss at $3,951,295.
In Michigan, the state re-
ceives the money and the
Department of Natural
Resources distributes it to
eligible counties.
Under federal law, timber
payments must be spent on
county and national forest
projects in three catego-
ries:
Some timber revenue is
allocated for rural schools
and roads. Another portion
reimburses counties for
emergency and search-and-
rescue services they pro-
vide on national forestland
and also pays to prepare
wildfire protection plans
and for the Firewise Com-
munities Program that
helps local residents re-
duce the risks of wildfres.
The rest goes to locally
recommended projects on
national forestland that
enhance forest ecosys-
tems, restore and improve
the health of the land and
water quality, and pro-
tect, restore and enhance
fsh and wildlife habitat,
Tidwell said in testimony
to a U.S. Senate commit-
tee. As examples, he cited
re-establishing native spe-
cies, trail maintenance
and watershed and stream
restoration.
Tidwell said, These
projects provide employ-
ment in rural communi-
ties and an opportunity for
local citizens to advise the
Forest Service on projects
of mutual interest that
benefit the environment
and the economy.
Ryan Yates, the associate
legislative director at the
National Association of
Counties in Washington,
said counties in Michigan
and elsewhere have two
major concerns.
The frst is the associa-
tions argument that the
sequester shouldnt apply
because the Forest Service
reduced payments for tim-
ber sales in the 2012 fscal
year although the seques-
ter law didnt kick in until
the 2013 fscal year.
The second concern is
that Congress has not yet
reauthorized an extension
of the entire Secure Rural
Schools Program, Yates
said.
Theres a national ef-
fort to continue funding
this critical program for
our forest counties, he
said.

EAR AMY: Im 17
years old and have a
twin brother.
Recently my parents went
out of town, and my broth-
er wanted to throw a party.
I didnt want to be there
because I had plans in the
morning, but I decided to
stay up to make sure noth-
ing got out of hand.
At 11 p.m. someone
brought an incredible quan-
tity of alcohol and 20 guests
showed up. They all began
to drink heavily, and soon
someone was feeling sick
and wanted to go home.
I drove her home myself
(I was the only sober per-
son there). When I returned
home the place was a night-
mare. Everyone, including
my brother, was drunk.
People were vomiting, there
was broken glass on the
foor and someone had cut
his foot and was bleeding
heavily.
I almost called 911, but
a sober friend showed up
and persuaded me not to.
Finally, the guests and my
friend all fell asleep, but I
stayed up all night checking
on each one. I am certain
that one particular person
would have died had I not
done this. In the morning I
drove them all home while
my brother cleaned up, and
I have felt guilty and angry
at my brother ever since. He
tells me I am being dramat-
ic and I should
forgive him. Did
I do the right
thing? Should I
forgive him?
Terrifed Twin
DEAR TWIN:
You should for-
give your twin
but the route
to forgiveness is
smoothest when
it is paved with an
acknowledgment
that someone
has erred, along
with a request to
be forgiven. Has
your brother do-
ne either of these
things?
You s ound
amazingly responsible. But
this is an extreme note of
caution for you and any
other young people who
may find themselves in
your situation (now that
the school year has started,
many high school and col-
lege students will be facing
this challenge).
If you are ever in a situ-
ation where you think to
yourself, I wonder if I
should call 911... Call 911.
Do it.
Alcohol is an extremely
dangerous drug and an
overdose can kill you.
According to the Cen-
ters for Disease Control
and Prevention, in 2010,
there were approximately
189, 000 emer-
gency rooms
visits by persons
younger than 21
for injuries and
other conditions
linked to alcohol.
Alcohol use ac-
counted for 4,700
deaths in under-
age drinkers.
In addition to
the injuries (such
as happened at
your house) ,
drinking can
cause violence,
unwanted or un-
intended sexual
activity, destruc-
tion of property
and violations of
trust and friendships.
Unfortunately, your
toughest job is still ahead.
You must tell your parents
about this. Your brothers
choice could have cost your
family everything. They
should never leave you
two home alone overnight
again.
DEAR AMY: One of my
best friends, Katie, has
the horrible habit of inject-
ing the word like into ev-
ery sentence, sometimes as
often as every other word.
She is in her late 30s,
super bright, beautiful,
single and works in a high-
level/high-profle position
at a big company. Its re-
ally hard to listen to her at
times. But more important-
ly, I also think it must be
hurting her on some level.
Should I say anything to
her about it?
Friends of mine who
have met her always men-
tion it later. I dont want to
hurt her feelings, but I also
know that if I had a terri-
ble habit that was having a
negative effect on people, I
would hope a friend would
tell me. Like a Friend
DEAR FRIEND: You
have your opening line: If
I had a bad habit that had a
negative effect on people, I
would want a friend to tell
me. Do you feel the same
way?
If she answers in the af-
firmative, you have your
opening.
DEAR AMY: Wow, that
letter from At a Loss re-
ally got to me. This was a
situation where a female
friend physically wedged
herself between a married
couple and basically coiled
herself around the man.
I thought the wife re-
sponded perfectly. This guy
really needs to apologize
to his wife for even being a
party to this nonsense.
Furious
DEAR FURIOUS: The
wife in question defnitely
took care of business, while
the husband was clueless.
Many readers were disgust-
ed

Q: I cant fnd my So-
cial Security card. How
can I get a new one?
A: First, consider wheth-
er you really need a new
card. You need to apply
for a replacement Social
Security card only if you
dont know your Social Se-
curity number or, if you
need to show your card
to a new employer. Even
then, you may only need
a Social Security number
printout to verify your
number. If you decide that
you do need a card, you
can replace it for free in
three easy steps.
Step 1: Gather docu-
ments proving your iden-
tity and citizenship or im-
migration status.
Step 2: Complete anAp-
plication For a Social Se-
curity Card (Form SS-5)
Step 3: Take your com-
pleted application and
original documents to
your local Social Security
offce or your local Social
Security Card Center.
You ll receive your re-
placement card in about
10 to 15 days. The types of
documents you need to
provide depends on your
specific situation. Find
out what you need by vis-
iting our decision tree
at www.socialsecurity.
gov/ssnumber.
If you dont need a new
card and the printout will
do, you still need to show
us documents to prove
your identity and U.S. cit-
izenship or immigration
status. However, you can
get your printout during
your office visit. Learn
more about the Social Se-
curity number printout
by visiting www.socialse-
curity.gov/pubs and typ-
ing printout in the pub-
lication search box on the

Q: I worked for the
last 10 years and I now
have my 40 credits.
Does this mean that I
get the maximum So-
cial Security retire-
ment beneft?
A: Probably not. The 40
credits are the minimum
number you need to quali-
fy for retirement benefits.
However, we do not base
your benefit amount on
those credits; its based
on your earnings over a
lifetime of work. To learn
more about how you earn
Social Security credits
and how they work, read
or listen to our publica-
tion How You Earn Cred-
its, available at www.so-
cialsecurity.gov/pubs.

Social Security Q&A
(MCT) Over Labor
Day weekend, Diana Nyad
swam from Cuba to Flori-
da without the protection
of a shark-safe cage a
frst-time feat for anyone.
So when she emerged
from the ocean, stum-
bling a little yet speaking
so eloquently, even people
whod never fought a cur-
rent or ridden a wave or
been stung by a jellyfsh
felt alternately giddy and
choked up.
Yet oddly or obviously
though you couldnt
help but notice droplets
on her skin and her salt-
swollen lips and the blue
vastness behind her
what she did only periph-
erally involved water.
Shes really set the
standard for dreams
right now for anybody,
says Dallas swimmer
and coach Bryan Mineo,
whos training to swim
the English channel next
August.
Its not even about
sports anymore, he says.
Its about human poten-
tial, and she really set
the bar. For me, thats the
most motivating thing.
For me, its less about the
swim than knowing I can
do something, put my
mind to something big
and follow through.
You have a dream 35
years ago, Nyad, now 64,
told CNNs Sanjay Gupta
soon after she walked
out of the ocean. When it
doesnt come to fruition,
you move on with life, she
said.
In Diana Nyads wake, pushing
the bounds of human potential

Wed like to clear
up the confusion.
Weve all heard the stories about the demise of news-
papers. They say nobody reads them anymore. They
say theyre obsolete. They say newspapers will cease to
exist in a few years. Well, quite frankly,they are wrong.
Weve been here since 1872 and have no plans to stop
the presses. We tell the story of our community better
than anybody. Every day, more of you get your news
from this newspaper than all other local news sources
combined. And we plan to keep it that way.
Its your news.
