Crews battle fire, high temperaturesBy Chris Lamphere

CadillaC News

MARION — The Marion Fire Department and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources are conducting a joint inves-tigation into a fire that destroyed a barn on Fifth Avenue near 13 Mile Road Wednesday afternoon.

Bruce Tower, fire su-pervisor for the Forest Resource division of the DNR, said he responded to the barn fire shortly after

conducting an investiga-tion into another small fire also near Marion.

Tower said the DNR of-ten teams up on fire inves-tigations near wooded ar-eas to determine if a blaze was caused by wildfire.

“Right now we’re unsure what could have caused the (barn) fire,” Tower said.

The other fire in Osceola County Wednesday was a brush fire that did mini-mal damage to the sur-rounding area.

Wildfires will continue

to be a concern in com-ing weeks as the spring chill gives way to summer warmth.

Te m p e r a t u r e s o n Wednesday reached 84 degrees, matching the re-cord high temperature for May 1, first set in 1952, ac-cording to Cadillac News weather records.

Temperatures are sup-posed to cool down today, with highs near 70 degrees and a 50 percent chance of rain and thunderstorms.

Official:Loss of

mill pond would be ‘disaster’

By Chris Lamphere CadillaC News

MARION — Officials in Mar-ion are trying to rally public support to prevent the remov-al of one of the village’s most historic landmarks — the mill pond.

As part of a larger restora-tion project, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been working with the village for a number of years to restore the cold water stream down river of the pond and dam.

Project Manager Steven Check said water entering the mill pond heats up before reentering the main river system, affecting trout popu-lations and ecological condi-tions downstream.

Several years ago, village officials had negotiated an agreement with the corps to dredge the lake bottom to make it deeper so water wouldn’t heat up as much. This would allow the village to avoid removing the dam, which Marion Mill Pond Rehabilitation Committee member Roger Pritchard said would have a devastating im-pact on the community.

“We’re looking at this from an economic and recreation-al point of view,” Pritchard said. “Taking out the dam would be a disaster.”

Unfortunately for the vil-lage, the start of the Iraq war, along with legislative chang-es pertaining to what kind of projects the corps is allowed to take part in, halted nego-tiations on dredging the mill pond. As it stands, the corps have made it their recom-mendation to remove the mill pond. Check said this would be the most cost-effective way to fix the situation.

Suicide: Private pain or

public health issue?By Jeff BroddLe

CadillaC News

The loss visited upon families and loved ones by suicide is painful and devastat-

ing. Research has shown that Baby Boomers have experi-enced higher rates of depres-sion than other generations.

Although they don’t know why, even decades ago re-searchers predicted that higher rates of mental illness would translate into higher suicide rates, and statistics have borne out that evidence.

Suicide: Private pain or public health issue?By Jeff Broddle

cadillac news

When a loved one com-mits suicide, there is pain for survivors and, under-standably, a need for pri-vacy.

But suicide also is a pub-lic health issue. For Ameri-cans between the ages of 25 and 34, suicide is the second-leading cause of death. It’s the third-leading cause for those between the ages of 15 and 24, accord-ing to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Ser-vices.

From 2004 to 2012, Wex-ford County recorded 61 sui-cides. That averages out to 6.7 per year — about one ev-ery two months, according to figures supplied by Medi-cal Examiner Fred Wreford. To put that in comparison with another unexpected, yet not uncommon, cause of death, in the same time period there were 65 people killed in vehicle crashes, whether an automobile crash or some other moving vehicle such as a motorcy-cle or off-road vehicle.

Similar results were found in Missaukee County, where there were 14 deaths suspected to be suicide. In the same time period, there were 12 vehicle-related deaths.

Although not subjected to statistical analysis, differ-ences could be observed in the type of person who is committing suicide.

In Wexford County, the av-erage age of those commit-ting suicide between 2004 and 2012 was 46.

In Missaukee County, however, according to Mis-saukee County Medical Examiner Gregory Lam-bourne, the majority of the suicides were by people in their 30s or even their 20s.

“Rarely are they older people facing the end of life,” Lambourne said.

Statistics kept by the Cen-ters for Disease Control and

Prevention reveal that for baby boomers, the suicide rate has increased almost 30 percent between 2001 and 2010. Boomers are defined as those Americans born between 1946 and 1964.

Traditionally, seniors age 85 and older have been the group most likely to commit suicide. In general, more men than women commit suicide. Use of alcohol and drugs also raise the risk of suicide, and rates also are higher for veterans.

Wexford County recorded nine suicides last year. In comparison, five people were killed in vehicle crash-es in the same time frame. Suicide took the lives of six people in the county in 2011, and also the same number lost their lives in crashes.

Looking back as far as nine years, the highest number of suicides came in 2004 and 2006, with 11 in each year. In 2007, the fewest were recorded, with two.

Missaukee County, with a population slightly less than half of Wexford Coun-ty, understandably had fewer numbers of residents taking their own lives. Two suicides were reported last year, half the number seen in 2011. Three were record-ed in 2010.

Numbers for Osceola and Lake counties were not im-mediately available.

But numbers can’t be ex-pected to paint a picture of the whole problem, accord-ing to Leilani Kitler, preven-tion coordinator for North-ern Lakes Community

Mental Health. Kitler also is coordinator and facilita-tor for the local Suicide Pre-vention Coalition.

Kitler said that in some cases, deaths may not be ac-curately reported as suicide out of respect for the fam-ily. In some cases, knowing what happened may not be easy.

Take an example of some-one who is age 60 or 70, who is fighting a disease or has

a chronic condition. Pain-killers may be readily avail-able to them. Should they die of an overdose, it may be difficult to say whether or not the overdose was in-tentional. In some cases, a health care provider such as a nurse who had frequent contact with the patient may strongly suspect that there was more to the death than a mistake with a pre-scription.

Also keep in mind, Kitler said, that following a death, whether the cause was sui-cide or not, the focus is on loved ones and the grieving.

“We often take our cues from the family,” Kitler said. “We want to be sup-portive in recovery, and not be contradicting their views.”

Signs of suicide: what to watch for

If you have concerns that a loved one, friend or ac-quaintance is thinking of suicide, the best way to find out if they are at risk is to ask them, according to the Suicide Prevention Resource Center. All people with suicidal thoughts should be taken seriously.

According to the SPRC, talk-ing about thoughts of sui-cide with someone will not put the idea in their head, and it doesn’t increase your own risk. Individuals with thoughts about sui-cide may be doing so for reasons that can be under-standable.

Experts on the topic of suicide say that most people with suicidal thoughts want to live, but also want to be free of pain.

A majority of individuals who die of suicide likely suffered from clinical depression, although it may not be until after someone has died that the survivors are able to con-

nect the dots.It’s not unusual for families

to say they had no idea, according to Leilani Kitler, prevention coordinator for Northern Lakes Community Mental Health.

Telltale signs may include withdrawing from friends and family, changes in sleep patterns and not taking part in activities an individual had previously enjoyed.

There could be other changes in behavior. Someone con-sidering suicide may sud-denly begin giving away valuable possessions.

The acronym “ACT” helps provide guidance, especially for teens:

A — Acknowledge: recognize that these are real concerns.

C — Concern: express concern for the person’s situation, show empathy for their problems.

T — Tell: tell a trusted adult.The National Suicide Pre-

vention Lifeline number is 1-800-273-TALK (8255). Veterans also may call a line dedicated to them at 1-800-273-8255 Press 1.

The total cost would be $3 million, with the federal government covering 65 percent of the bill, leaving about $1 million to be cov-ered by the village.

Pritchard, along with oth-ers on the committee, are not convinced removing the dam is the best option because residents would be footing a good portion of the bill and would not see much of a benefit in doing so.

At a public meeting Wednesday, committee members urged a handful of residents in attendance to write letters to their lo-cal congressmen imploring them to find a more equita-ble solution to the problem.

“We need to have a cam-paign,” Pritchard said. “Put some pressure on our legislators. We don’t have a big voice here in Marion, but we do have a voice.”

Those with suggestions about the mill pond can drop them off at the clerk’s office at 118 East Main Street or call 743-6801.

A public meeting is planned for June.

Manton man charged with possessing heroin

CADILLAC — A Manton man has been charged in 84th District Court in Wexford County with drug posses-sion.

Alexander Paul Deibert, 24, has been charged with possession of a controlled substance, heroin. Deibert also has been charged with maintaining a drug house, according to court records.

If convicted, Deibert could face up to two years in prison and/or a fine of up to $25,000.

No longevity pay for new Wexford Co. hires

CADILLAC — A benefit for non-union employees of Wexford County has been eliminated, in keeping with the levels of compensation provided to union employ-ees.

The Board of Commis-sioners has voted 8-0 to drop longevity pay for new non-union employees. Union employees already had lost the benefit as part of con-tract negotiations.

The Human Resources/Public Safety Committee recommended the benefit be eliminated for new hires effective May 1.

The longevity pay policy has been in place since it was adopted in 1996. The policy provided $30 for each full year of continuous em-ployment after employees’ fifth year with the county, but payments were limited to $600 a year.

New video shows van in missing woman case

NORTON SHORES (AP) — A western Michigan police chief has released a second surveillance video showing a van that’s believed to be con-nected to the disappearance of a 25-year-old mother and gas station night clerk.

Norton Shores Chief Dan-iel Shaw says the video may help investigators fill in the timeline of events of Friday night, when Jessica Heer-inga was last seen.

There were no signs of a struggle at the Exxon Mobil gas station in Norton Shores where Heeringa was work-ing when she disappeared.

A surveillance video was released Monday from a tavern near the suspected abduction site. Both videos show a silver or gray Chrys-ler minivan.

Senate OKs veterans driver’s licenses

LANSING (AP) — The Michigan Senate has unani-mously approved legislation that would allow veterans to get a special designation on driver’s licenses.

The bill now heads to Re-publican Gov. Rick Snyder’s desk.

Lawmakers say the legisla-tion approved Wednesday will provide veterans with easier access to the services and benefits they deserve. They say veterans will be able to get discounts at stores and hotels more easily.

Without the designation, veterans have to carry copies of discharge papers to prove their service. Republican Rep. Nancy Jenkins of Clay-ton has said 27 other states already have a veterans’ des-ignation on driver’s licenses.

Odd newsPolice: Man tried to blame DUI on gramma

ROCHES-TER, Pa. (AP) — Police say a western Pennsyl-vania man tried to blame his drunken driving on his grand-mother. The only problem is, she wasn’t there.

Twenty-two-year-old John Ventresca Jr. fac-es a preliminary hearing Tuesday on drunken driving and other charges stemming from the incident on March 2.

That’s when Rochester police were called to a convenience store after wit-nesses saw Ven-tresca pull into a parking lot, but not before striking other cars and hitting a pole in front of the store.

When police arrived, they say Ventresca told them his grandma had been driving and that she was us-ing the store’s restroom. He explained the erratic driving by saying the woman had a broken shoulder and was taking pain pills.

Police charged Ventresca af-ter finding the woman wasn’t in the rest room — or anywhere else nearby.

Subway baby to ride free for life

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Who says there’s no such thing as a free ride?

Mexico City’s mayor says a baby boy born in one of the city’s subway stations will be allowed to ride the trains free for life.

The baby’s 22-year-old moth-er was trying to take the subway to the hospital when she went in-to labor Tuesday.

Subway em-ployees, police and paramed-ics helped her give birth in an entryway to a platform.

Subway tickets in Mexico City cost three pesos (25 cents) for an unlimited ride.

Undersheriff: Missing teen was in hidingBy NiCoLE WEiSS

cadillac news

BIG RAPIDS — A Big Rapids teen missing since Sunday has been lo-cated, and police say Quinton Taylor Aemisegger orchestrated his own dis-appearance.

The 16-year-old’s last confirmed sighting had been at the Reed City home of his girlfriend over the week-end, and by Monday, relatives filed a missing person’s report, and a two-county search began.

Osceola County Undersheriff Jus-tin Halladay said deputies worked tips on Aemisegger’s location, and

eventually, deputies caught up to the teen Wednesday morning.

Halladay said the boy was un-harmed and “informa-tion we received is that (Aemisegger) went miss-ing on his own accord.”

Aemisegger avoid-ed being discovered with the “assistance of friends,” who aided in hiding him, Halla-day said. The teen was

transported to the sheriff ’s depart-ment and then turned over to his mother, Lori Elliot.

Halladay said the investigation in-

to the case is ongoing and once com-pleted the report will be forwarded to the probate court and prosecutor’s office.

Elliot said she had last seen her son when she dropped him off at a friend’s home in Reed City on Friday to spend the weekend. She said she had been in contact with her son un-til Sunday morning, when he texted her to tell her he had a ride home later that day.

After learning her nephew was safe, Gen Aemisegger, speaking for the family, said, “We are all happy to have him home, safe and sound.”

By the end of this week, about 250,000 yards of dirt will have been moved from Sherman Hill near Mesick as part of a construction project started on April 15. Pipe work will continue for the next several weeks and curb work should begin next week.

Sherman Hill project on schedule in spite of wet weatherBy RiCk ChARmoLi

cadillac news

MESICK — By the end of this week, about 250,000 yards of dirt will have been moved from Sherman Hill near Mesick.

That was the figure Michigan De-partment of Transportation Delivery Engineer Del Kirkby gave as the ma-jority of earth moving for the project is nearing completion.

“Dirt was being moved around the clock until April 27,” Kirkby said. “That sand is still being balanced out but the storm sewer piping is being run up the hill on both sides of the road at once.”

Kirkby said the side slopes are be-ing restored as the work is being completed and work also has started north of 16 Road up to the Manistee

River. South of 16 Road is the location where the Mesick Mushroom Festival is focused, and Kirkby said they don’t want to interfere with its preparation and traffic.

Pipe work will continue for the next several weeks, and Kirkby said curb work should begin next week.

“The work will continue going right on through, and we will be busy until it gets open to traffic,” he said. “The most critical work we have on the project remains the pipe work, and it is less affected by rain, but heavy rains and light will stop work.”

Until its completion sometime in late June, traffic will be detoured from M-115 north on Nine Road, then east on Four Road to M-37 just south of Buck-ley. M-37 also will be realigned to make the roadway more straight and will be graded to be less steep. Although the

frost laws will be pulled on the detour route, Kirkby said that doesn’t mean the restrictions have been pulled com-pletely throughout the county.

Later in the year, work on convert-ing the intersection of M-115 and M-37-13 Road into a roundabout is scheduled. The intersection will be closed for an estimated maximum of three weeks.

For the roundabout project, the de-tour will have traffic exit M-115 west-bound at 19 Road, and travel north to 16 Road-M-42, then west to M-37, where traffic to Traverse City may exit the detour. Westbound M-115 traf-fic then will continue west on 11 3/4 Road to the intersection of M-115 in Mesick. The detour is the same route in reverse for traffic going east and it should be in place by Sept. 4.


From mountain to molehill

By JEFF BRoDDLE cadillac news

CADILLAC — Dozens of con-cerned residents stepped forward to urge the Wex-ford County Board of Commissioners to support the Wexford County Civic Center and Ice Arena.

The county’s residents also are being called upon to help provide support for The Wex. Facility manage-ment met with the public recently to come up with some ideas.

The facility had received public support for the past three years in the form of a recreation millage, which supported not only The Wex but also recre-ational projects through-out the county.

Rink Management was hired a year ago to operate the facility, including the ice rink and auditorium, at a cost of $45,000 a year.

Over the course of the first year, Wexford County also pitched in about $55,000 in additional funds when the operation fell short of meeting its bills. The county had hoped Rink Management would be able to break even after only a year of taking the reins.

The recreation millage was defeated twice last year.

Rink Management Re-gional Manager Louis Lombardo said Rink Man-agement is trying to make up the gap by bringing in new programs, such as expanding the number of wrestling shows, and ex-panding the learn-to-skate program to ages 3 and up. The program promises to give even the uniniti-ated the skills to navigate the ice over the course of eight weeks.

Upcoming events in-clude the T.J. Schmidt Car-

nival Thursday to Sunday, UWE professional wres-tling on May 11, a Mom-to-Mom sale May 25, and a newly added Renaissance Festival on June 8.

The limited time frame given to Rink Management to turn around the opera-tion also is making it dif-ficult, Lombardo said. In some cases, producers in-terested in holding events at The Wex choose to look elsewhere after learning they can’t sign contracts for more than a year in advance. In some cases, events are planned two or three years ahead, which is beyond Rink Manage-ment’s timeframe given its one-year contract.

This week, Lombardo is seeking volunteers willing to serve as members of a committee that will have the job of exploring what is needed to create a non-profit organization.

Crunching the numbers, Lombardo said their big-gest expenses are electric-ity, followed by insurance and payroll.

One expense that was significantly more than expected was snow re-moval. Rink Manage-ment contracted with the county’s vendor since they provided the most cost-effective alternative, Lom-bardo said, but even then, the cost of the service was more than $30,000.

If a local vendor or group stepped forward to donate snowplowing ser-vices next winter, it would help significantly, Lombar-do said.

Anyone interested in becoming part of the non-profit group may contact Lombardo at 734-457-4219 or email Lombardo at [email protected].

Jack Ray JewettMESICK — Jack Ray

Jewett, of Mesick, died Wednesday, May 1, 2013, at home surrounded by his loving family. He was 83.

He was born July 15, 1929, in Flint, the son of Earl and Cleta (Hudson) Jewett.

Jack went to work for Cadillac State Bank when he was 16 and con-tinued working there for 38 years until his retire-ment in 1983. He also farmed most of his life as well. Jack was a member of the Mesick United Methodist Church for more than 60 years, a for-mer member of the Me-sick Lions Club, a mem-ber of the Mesick Mason-ic Lodge No. 466 F&AM; a member of the Mesick Volunteer Fire Depart-ment; a founding mem-ber of the Mesick Rescue Squad; and he served on the Mesick Park Board and the Mesick Industri-al Committee. In his spare time, Jack enjoyed deer hunting, fishing, playing golf, cutting wood and just being out-doors.

On September 14, 1947, in Harrietta, Jack mar-

ried Shirley M. Paul, who survives. He is also survived by five children, Sharon (Randy) Miller of East Jordan, Jack L. (Ellie) Jewett of Mesick, Kathy J. (Bill) Ely of Mesick, Alan M. (Barb Schellie) Jewett of Me-sick, and Garry P. Jew-ett of Mesick; 12 grand-children; 21 great-grand-children; his brother-in-law, Keith (Betty) Paul of Harrietta; several nieces and nephews; and special family friends, Joe and Cathy Cudney of Copemish.

Jack was preceded in death by his parents; his twin sister, Joyce Jewett; his sister, Melba Jewett; and his brother, Earl Keith Jewett.

Memorial services will be held at a later date at the Mesick United Meth-odist Church.

Memorial contribu-tions may be made to the Mesick United Methodist Church, Mesick Fire De-partment or the Mesick Rescue Squad.

State House OKs welfare drug testingBy ALANNA DURKIN The associaTed Press

LANSING — The Republican-led Michigan House approved legisla-tion Wednesday that would require some people to pass drug tests and ensure that their children don’t miss too many days of school in or-der to receive welfare benefits.

Supporters say the measures are designed to break the cycle of poverty by helping drug users find treatment and encouraging parents to send their children to school. But opponents say the measures are pu-nitive attacks on low income indi-viduals who rely on state assistance to get by.

“It’s an awful message to send out across to our own citizens and across the county that this is what happens in Michigan if you are down on your luck,” said Shelli Weisberg, legislative liaison for the ACLU of Michigan.

Under a measure passed by a 77-33 vote the Department of Human Services — which supports the bill — would establish a substance abuse screening process for people apply-ing for the family independence as-sistance program. If there is “rea-sonable suspicion” that the person is using illegal substances, like drugs, that person would be required to take a drug test. The Department of Human Services would start screen-ing next April in three yet-to-be de-termined counties and the program would be reevaluated after one year.

Several Democrats — along with the majority Republicans — voted for the measure.

The measure now heads to the Senate where it’s likely to advance. Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville, a Monroe Republican, told The Associated Press that he fully supports the bill, arguing that the aim is to help people who rely on welfare get back on their feet.

People who test positive for the first time would be referred to a substance abuse treatment center and could continue receiving ben-efits throughout their treatment. But if a person tests positive sub-

sequent times or drops out of treat-ment their family benefits would be stripped.

“We cannot continue to subsidize illegal substances but ... we will continue to support those families who need and want our help, and this bill provides the incentive to stop us-ing illegal drugs,” said Republican Rep. Klint Kesto of Oak-land County’s Com-merce Township.

Several Democrats — and one Republi-can — spoke against the bill Wednesday. Democratic Rep. M a r c i a H o ve y -Wright of Muskegon said it represents “another chapter in the Republican war against the poor.” She said that it often takes people with addictions multiple treatment programs before they are able to conquer their sub-stance abuse prob-lems.

Democrats intro-duced a number of amendments Tuesday, including requiring that the department notify families that sign up for the program that they could be subject to a drug test and requiring lawmakers to also be test-ed for illegal substances.

Legislation requiring some form of drug testing or screening for wel-fare recipients has been proposed in at least 29 states this year, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Measures have passed in eight states.

Michigan briefly ran a pilot pro-gram to drug test welfare recipients in late 1999. The American Civil Lib-erties Union sued, and a federal ap-peals court affirmed a lower court’s order halting the program. Part of the legal challenge was based on the claim that constitutional rights were violated because testing was done without “individualized sus-

picion.”Weisberg said the ACLU is look-

ing into if and how they can chal-lenge the law if it goes into effect. But the constitutionality of this type of suspicion-based program — unlike programs that test all re-

cipients — would be much more difficult to challenge, she said.

The House also ap-proved a bill Wednes-day on a 78-32 vote that would strip a family of benefits in the family indepen-dence program if a child under the age of 16 doesn’t meet school attendance requirements. Tru-ancy policies vary by school district.

The human servic-es department put the policy in place in October, but this bill would write the poli-cy into law to ensure it continues in future governors’ admin-istrations. Parents would be allowed to

re-enroll in the program if their child meets three straight weeks of school attendance requirements.

Department spokesman Dave Ak-erly said in an email that the num-ber of people who have actually lost their benefits since the policy was put in place is “very low,” but did not have an exact number.

Opponents worry that the mea-sure goes too far by kicking off all family members from the program for the actions of one child.

But Republican Rep. Al Pscholka of Stevensville, who is sponsoring the legislation, said the measure is designed to encourage children — some of whom miss one to one and half days of school a week — to go to school.

“This sends the message that edu-cation is how we break this cycle. Education is how we break the pov-erty cycle.”

The House also approved a bill Wednesday on a 78-32 vote that would strip a family of benefits in the family independence program if a child under the age of 16 doesn’t meet school attendance requirements.

Michigan In Brief

Audit reveals care issues at Mich. veterans home

GRAND RAPIDS (AP) — An audit has found a West Michigan veterans home lacking in some areas of care and internal controls.

A report by the state audi-tor general says the Grand Rapids Home for Veterans failed to provide an on-site psychiatrist since August 2011 for residents with men-tal health disorders.

The performance audit was conducted last year. It also says the home lacked controls to safeguard food and medical supplies.

It says the home was “moderately effective” in controlling and safeguard-ing its pharmaceutical inventories.

There were about 430 people receiving nursing care at the facility in Sep-tember. The home is oper-ated by the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.

State law requires the facility to develop and sub-mit a plan to comply with the audit’s recommenda-tions within 60 days.

Grand Rapids sued for trespass policy

GRAND RAPIDS (AP) — The American Civil Liber-ties Union has sued Grand Rapids authorities, saying police in the western Mich-igan city routinely make unconstitutional arrests for trespassing on the prop-erty of businesses open to the public.

The group said Wednes-day it filed the federal suit on behalf of two men who were arrested but later cleared of trespassing charges.

The ACLU says police long have asked businesses to sign “letters of intent to prosecute trespassers” and says police use them to arrest people without check-ing first with business op-erators if they’re unwanted.

Grand Rapids City Attor-ney Catherine Mish says she’s aware of the suit but won’t comment before of-ficials review it.

The ACLU says one plaintiff spent three days in jail after stopping his car at a gas station.

DNA, dental records identify remains found in 1994

PORT HURON (AP) — Southeastern Michigan au-thorities say they’ve used DNA and dental records to identify remains found in 1994 as those of a central Ohio woman who disap-peared in 1988.

The St. Clair County sheriff ’s office in Port Hu-ron said Wednesday that

University of North Texas experts confirmed the skeleton is that of Diann Tatum, who disappeared while traveling from Ohio to visit her parents in the Detroit suburb of Warren.

The department is treat-ing the case as a homicide.

Columbus, Ohio, TV sta-tion WTTE says Tatum lived in Fayette County, near Washington Court House, Ohio.

The station says the breakthrough happened after members of Tatum’s family had their genetic data entered into a na-tional database in March 2013 and a connection was made. It says dental re-cords confirmed the identi-fication in April.

Facebook tips, cellphone trace nail bank suspect

BROWN CITY (AP) — Po-lice investigating a string of bank robberies across Michigan say Facebook users helped them identify a suspect, who killed him-self in Georgia as officers closed in.

The Sanilac County sheriff ’s office says in-vestigators got matching descriptions of suspects in robberies in Brown City and Yale. A Croswell and Marlette Police Depart-ment Facebook post drew tips that made 53-year-old Jack D. Kaiser a suspect.

The sheriff ’s office says it learned Kaiser had fled the state.

In the Atlanta suburb of Alpharetta, police Sgt. George Gordon says author-ities used the suspect’s cell-phone signal to track him and began pursuing him.

The Sanilac sheriff ’s office says Kaiser shot himself Tuesday before he could be arrested. It says evidence of the robberies was in his car.

The robberies extended as far west as Kalamazoo.

Labor, immigration activists hold rally

DETROIT (AP) — A cou-ple hundred community, labor and immigration activists have gathered in a Detroit park to rally for better working conditions, immigration reform and other issues.

The demonstration Wednesday is part of the May Day protests around the nation and globe.

Several speakers called on Washington lawmakers to work quickly to enact a federal overhaul of the immigration system. Con-gress is considering legisla-tion to legalize the status of many of the estimated 11 million people living in the U.S. without authorization.

Grant helping to create 21 jobs

By RIcK chARmoLI cadillac news

CADILLAC — The Wexford County Road Commission is planning to make the ride on Mackinaw Trail a little more enjoyable while helping a local business upgrade its facilities and sewer and water systems.

The road is starting to show wear and tear, and during the 2014 con-struction season, it will be resur-faced. The project is one of 10 Michi-gan Department of Transportation state transportation economic devel-opment grants that were announced recently.

McGuire’s Resort has plans to ex-pand its conference facilities, update an existing restaurant and hotel rooms, make exterior facade im-provements and add a teaching cen-ter. The resort also will upgrade its sewer and water systems, investing $2.5 million and creating 21 new jobs.

The improvement to Mackinaw Trail is essential to the resort’s de-cision to invest in the Clam Lake Township facility. The final decision to expand is contingent upon the re-ceipt of other grants and incentives. As a result, the Wexford County Road

Commission will completely recon-struct the road with a new roadway base and asphalt surface.

Wexford County Road Commission Manager Alan Cooper said the proj-ect is the result of several funding sources being utilized. The estimated cost of these transportation improve-ments is roughly $1.3 million, includ-ing $400,000 in state Transportation Economic Development Fund money and almost $1 million in local match-es from the road commission and fed-eral transportation funds.

Enacted in 1987 and reauthorized

in 1993, the fund was created to pay for highway, road and street projects that encourage private investment and will create or support jobs. The fund’s “Category A,” or “Target In-dustries Program,” provides state funding for transportation improve-ments that will help accommodate increased traffic and provide com-mercial routes that are safe and more efficient for new and expanding companies. Eligible road agencies include MDOT, county road commis-sions, cities and villages.

When the Boston Globe conducted an online dis-cussion of whether the lockdown of the city dur-ing the hunt for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was overkill, one of its columnists, Lawrence Harmon, weighed in: “Fri-day’s lockdown was more than an abundance of cau-tion. It was an overreaction. Hundreds of millions of dollars were lost to the lo-cal economy. Yet authorities urged some Dunkin’ Donuts stores to remain open for the convenience of officers while ... hundreds of other busi-nesses, large and small, shut down. If Dunkin’ Donuts workers could safely venture forth to satisfy Munchkins runs, then people outside of Watertown and abutting communities could have gone to work.”

Not everyone agrees, of course, but that sort of argu-ment has often been made by John Mueller, a political sci-ence professor at Ohio State University. Mueller asks: What’s a greater threat to the United States: terrorism or our reaction to it?

For Mueller, the answer is the latter. While he con-cedes that we’re “safer” than before, he worries that the security gains are not worth the costs. He’s addressed the issue in his books “Terror, Security and Money” (2011) and “Overblown” (2006).

He told me that the search for the bombers was essen-tial: “You can’t have mass murderers running around, so spending a lot of money on policing this thing is cer-tainly very sensible.” But he

worried that the incident could lead to overreac-tions.

“There’s a tendency of man-aging by inbox — you know, there’s an underwear bomber on a plane, so there-fore we have to spend a lot more money on body scan-ners or things which mostly don’t seem to work,” he told me. Mueller is concerned that because the attack took place at a marathon, there will be a rush to increase security in ineffective ways at countless other sporting events.

Mueller argues that gov-ernment should carry out its constitutional charge to “insure domestic tranquil-ity” while spending money responsibly and wisely: “What you need to do is look at each proposal in a coher-ent manner to make sure that the money being spent really does reduce risk, does save lives, does help people at a cost that is sensible, and not spend on measures that don’t reduce risk or ... do it at ex-tremely high cost, like body scanners.”

He is similarly skeptical of air marshals. “They have basically done nothing since 9/11,” he said. “They also cost $1.2 billion (annually). ... That’s the entire budget of the Los Angeles police force. ... It’s been done in a very expensive manner for some reason, and it doesn’t reduce the risk enough to justify its cost.”

Mueller cites a Cornell study suggesting that a fear of flying after 9/11 led to

increases in long-distance driving that killed more people in car ac-cidents than died on the hijacked planes that day.

I shared Muel-ler’s thoughts with John Tim-oney, who ran

the police departments in Philadelphia and Miami and is now a consultant to Bah-rain. He praised the Boston response and pointed out that our multiple layers of local, state, and federal law enforcement — with more than 17,000 police agencies and 700,000 to 800,000 officers — create impediments.

“On the response to terror events or some other large-scale disaster, there is always criticism for over-response or overkill,” he wrote in an e-mail. “And there is some validity to this criticism. But the over-response is often due to the nature/structure of police agencies and other first responders.

“I remember the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993, when we were over-whelmed by the response of fire and ambulance services from places in New Jersey and Connecticut and Long Island. Thousands of ambu-lances blocked West Street (in Lower Manhattan), mak-ing it impossible to get out of the area. Six persons were killed and around 5,000 in-jured (mostly minor). Of the 5,000, over 4,000 made their own way to hospitals/doctors via subway or cab.”

Timoney has run the Bos-ton Marathon several times himself and lived in Cam-bridge when he was a fellow

at Harvard. He noted that though the bombing hap-pened in Boston, the events that followed happened in surrounding jurisdictions.

“It is a series of small com-munities with their own police forces and ambulances and fire departments,” he wrote. “When the manhunt was under way for the bomb-ers, it was naturally going to involve somewhat other surrounding communities. However, when the MIT po-lice officer was killed and an-other seriously wounded in the chase, you just know that it was going to be a huge re-sponse. Critics might argue that someone should have been in charge to coordinate the response right away. Well, that is not going to happen.”

Finally, Timoney noted the inherent difficulty of policing a marathon, but he said that a sporting event at a stadium is very differ-ent given “points of entry where people and bags can be checked.”

How much we spend on such measures is a focus of Mueller’s concern.

“There’s no way to get risk down to zero,” he told me. “An American’s chance of being killed by a terrorist is about one in 3.5 million per year. ... So the issue is, basi-cally, if the chance of being killed by a terrorist is one in 3.5 million per year, is it worth spending a lot more money to make that even lower?”

I can think of four families that would say yes.

James Bond had Dr. No; the United States has Dr. C.

Give me a “C” for Calam-ity ... for President Barack Obama.

The president’s adminis-tration appears to be pock-marked by man-made devas-tation and disruption.

“What Obama has to deal with is what presidents deal with,” said Dr. Robert Dallek, highly acclaimed presiden-tial history professor at Stan-ford University’s Stanford in Washington program. “He’s sort of the mourner-in-chief. Obama has had his full share of doing this.”

For sure, call it a coinci-dence of bad timing.

We see it from Fort Hood to Tucson to the Sikh temple to Chicago to Newtown to Bos-ton — so many incidents that we can’t remember them all. This list seems interminable.

What other presidency has been cursed by this unfath-omable track record of catas-trophe?

Well, some observers will say Abraham Lincoln presid-ed over the most devastating period on American soil: the Civil War in the 1860s. The country was drifting apart based on region. Slavery and states’ rights were key issues in that North vs. South tug of war.

In the final analysis, Lin-coln, ultimately, completed his mission: to preserve the union.

Because of those deeply en-trenched differences, a civil war was inevitable. Now, we are suspended in an anxiety-inducing atmosphere of total uncertainty.

While a tuxedo-clad Obama was whooping it up with snappy one-liners and zingers at the annual

White House Correspondents Dinner alongside Conan O’Brien, many Americans surely must be wondering what’s going to happen next ... and when ... and how.

And how bad.What about

President Lyndon Johnson in the 1960s? His presidency eventually was consumed by the Vietnam War. However, the ugly part occurred on foreign soil.

And President Franklin Roosevelt? The same can be said of World War II. Luckily, the United States was spared.

What’s particularly con-spicuous during the Obama administration is that we have witnessed events that are unprecedented during modern times. Twenty 6- or 7-year-old elementary school children were murdered in one felonious act, one that took only a matter of sec-onds, in idyllic Newtown, Conn. That’s a first. Boston, a marquee city steeped in history and tradition, was relegated to virtual lockdown status the Friday after the marathon bombing. Name another instance when that has occurred in a major city.

Think about it: New York and Washington weren’t in lockdown on Sept. 11 when the World Trade Center and Pentagon, respectively, were brazenly attacked in 2001. I moved freely through most of the downtown Washington streets that day. Even rode the usual city bus.

Being told to lock your-selves in your homes, like the Boston situation, no, it didn’t happen in the nation’s capital.

Obama entered office as commander-in-chief but is in

danger of exiting as calamity-in-chief. Many of us are looking around the cor-ner ... for what’s next. Will it be another mass school shooting or pressure-cook-er bombing or a shootout at the

O.K. Corral, a la Burt Lan-caster and Kirk Douglas.

“Franklin Roosevelt had to console during the Great Depression,” professor Dallek said. “Harry Truman had the Korean War and the Cold War. Lyndon Johnson had to talk to the country after President Kennedy was killed. Bill Clinton had the Oklahoma City bombing and Columbine. George Bush had Sept. 11 and Virginia Tech.”

But hasn’t the man-made catastrophe quotient been worse under President Obama, Dallek was asked. “I think you are on fair ground saying he’s had more,” ac-knowledged Dallek, whose new book, “Camelot’s Court: Inside the Kennedy White House,” will be released in October.

Still, there is a tangential, though dynamic, issue here. Obama is this nation’s first black president. There has been talk that other possible black candidates may want to follow in his footsteps to the White House. But could these possible candidates — such as Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick or pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Benjamin Carson or Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker — face a backlash?

The line of thinking could go like this: If American life was chockfull of anxious mo-ments and national security/safety issues under Obama, what about the next black

guy? Be careful what you ask for, some surely will say.

In real time, Obama’s presi-dential legacy is health care, unprecedented support of gay rights, mass shootings and bombings and a high black unemployment rate that ranges between a Great Depression-like 12 percent to 16 percent, depending upon the month. If that high black unemployment rate was hovering during President George W. Bush’s administra-tion, there probably would have been a march on Wash-ington, nearly 50 years after the first one. Many seem will-ing to give Obama a free pass on this issue.

Now, will the next black presidential candidate suffer because of that and the other calamities? Dallek says no. “I think President Obama gives people confidence an African-American president can be president of all the people,” he says.

Dallek’s argument is that Obama has shown he can lead the nation during times of crisis, and that he’s mak-ing the pavement smoother — not rougher — for the next black candidate. “Why would anyone blame him for these incidents,” Dallek reasoned. “That would be unfair.”

Perhaps so. But there’s a “however” in all this. How-ever, what’s “unfair” and what’s perception can be polar opposite. And percep-tion is usually stronger than reality.

Obama has three-plus years to improve his legacy. Mr. President, as they say in the National Football League, you’re on the clock.

.

Cadillac historyMay 2, 1913Sheriff Chamberlain

was called to disperse a band of gypsies after sev-eral complaints about the band were received. It was reported the gypsies were “worrying the inhabit-ants with depredations.” The gypsies were asked to leave the county, to which they agreed if they were allowed to go through town on their way north.

May 2, 1963Cadillac’s new sewer

plant was put into opera-tion on this date in 1963 on a test basis. It was reported their was still an “odor” around the new sewage plant due to old sewage be-ing received.

May 2, 1988A 26-year-old man was ar-

rested in connection with a hit-and-run collision at the intersection of M-115 and Plett Road earlier in the week. Witnesses say the man struck another vehicle, fled the scene until his car stalled, then continued to flee on foot. His abandoned car was recovered by police.

World historyOn May 2, 1963, the Chil-

dren’s Crusade began in Birmingham, Ala., as more than 1,000 black school-children skipped classes and marched downtown to protest racial segregation; hundreds were arrested. (During another march the following day, authorities unleashed police dogs and fire hoses on the young pro-testers.)

In 1519, artist Leonardo da Vinci died at Cloux, France, at age 67.

In 1670, the Hudson’s Bay Co. was chartered by England’s King Charles II.

In 1863, during the Civil War, Confederate Gen. Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson was accidentally wounded by his own men at Chancellorsville, Va.; he died eight days later.

In 1890, the Oklahoma Territory was organized.

In 1936, “Peter and the Wolf,” a symphonic tale for children by Sergei Proko-fiev, had its world premiere in Moscow.

In 1945, the Soviet Union announced the fall of Berlin, and the Allies an-nounced the surrender of Nazi troops in Italy and parts of Austria.

In 1952, the era of com-mercial jet passenger ser-vice began as a BOAC de Havilland Comet carrying 36 passengers took off on a multi-stop flight from London to Johannesburg,

South Africa.In 1957, Sen. Joseph R.

McCarthy, R-Wis., died at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland.

In 1960, Caryl Chess-man, who’d become a best-selling author and cause celebre while on death row for kidnapping, rape and robbery, was executed at San Quentin Prison in Cal-ifornia.

In 1972, a fire at the Sun-shine silver mine in Kel-logg, Idaho, claimed the lives of 91 workers who succumbed to carbon mon-oxide poisoning. Long-time FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover died in Washington at age 77.

In 1982, the Weather Channel made its debut.

In 2011, Osama bin Laden was killed by elite American forces at his Pakistan compound, then quickly buried at sea after a decade on the run.

Board wants Saginaw-area township clerk to resign after slurBUENA VISTA TOWNSHIP

(AP) — A governing board in Michigan wants a township clerk to resign after she was re-corded using a racial slur to de-scribe a black supervisor.

A resolution passed Tuesday night by the board in Saginaw County’s Buena Vista Town-ship calls for Gloria Platko to step down, MLive.com reported, echoing similar requests by some area groups and residents. Platko was the only board mem-ber absent from the meeting to discuss her conduct.

The resolution states the res-ignation would be “for the pur-poses of moving the township forward and uniting the town-ship for the betterment of all its citizens.”

Platko, 69, said she was ad-vised not to attend the meeting. She has previously apologized and said she wouldn’t resign.

“I don’t have a discriminatory bone in my body,” Platko said in a letter to MLive.com. “I spoke out of frustration following a long history of difficulties with the supervisor. That is not an ex-

cuse for my language but I hope it relieves any hurt feelings my remark may have caused any-one.”

The resolution is largely sym-bolic, since the board in Buena Vista Township, about 80 miles northwest of Detroit, can’t fire an elected official.

Tuesday’s meeting followed one April 22, where interim township manager Dexter Mitchell played an audio record-ing of a January phone conver-sation between himself and Plat-ko, which included Platko using

the slur when talking about Su-pervisor Dwayne Parker.

“I forgive her, Clerk Gloria Platko, for those words,” said Parker, who voted for the resolu-tion Tuesday. “They were hurt-ful, they were painful but I want to move on.”

At the meeting, the vice presi-dent of the NAACP’s Saginaw chapter, Terry Pruitt, renewed his organization’s call for Plat-ko to step down. Saginaw City Councilman Norman Braddock was also in attendance, repre-senting the Bridge Center for

Racial Harmony.“As an elected official myself,

I’m not one who normally sup-ports recall efforts but this is one of those rare cases where it may be in order,” Braddock said.

Buena Vista Township resi-dent Betty Garza said she be-lieves Platko’s use of the slur was wrong, but offered words of support for Platko.

“She does have a kind heart and she has helped many peo-ple in this community,” Garza said.

Thousands expected for Blessing of the JeepsBy Kris Verhage

cadillac news

MESICK — More than 3,000 peo-ple from throughout the state are expected to hit the road on Saturday and head for the Cadillac Jeepers’ annual Jeep Blessing.

This event attracts Jeep and 4x4 enthusiasts who bring their vehicles to do some off-roading and to browse vendors, as well as spectators looking to check out the action.

“We’ve got lots of good things happening,” said Joe Nickerson, secretary of the Cadillac Jeep-ers, a nonprofit off-road club.

This day-long event, held just off the intersection of M-115 and M-37, also raises funds for local nonprofits. This year, funds have been raised so far for the Magi Project at the Cadillac Church of Christ, a refrigerator and stove at the Ellens Community Build-ing in Mesick and a fence along Springville Township land that serves as a parking area for the Jeep Blessing.

The club also has raised funds for organizations such as Care Net of Cadillac, the Cadillac Se-

nior Center, the After 26 Project and Love, INC.

The Jeep Blessing also embrac-es the spirit of fellowship. At the start of the event, a prayer for the safety of the riders and the vehi-cles during the off-road season is offered, and those representing the state’s Department of Natu-ral Resources, the U.S. Forest Ser-vice and local off-road clubs are invited to speak.

Gates open at 8 a.m. The vendor area will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. A praise band is set to per-form from 9 until 11 a.m., when the speakers take the stage and the blessing is given.

The drivers’ courses will be

open from noon to 4:30 p.m. Chil-dren’s activities will be offered from noon to 4 p.m. A Jeep Pa-rade throughout the community and surrounding areas is sched-uled for 5 p.m.

Off-road drivers can try out three courses — stock, interme-diate and the challenging “Chad-ville” — and a mud bog.

For past participants, they’ll find not much has changed from last year, Nickerson said. But the stock course has been doubled in length and more sand has been added, he said.

“It will be more difficult to get through,” Nickerson added.

About 3,300 people attended

last spring’s event, he said. Based on comments on the Cadillac Jeepers’ Facebook page, organiz-ers are anticipating just as many — if not more — coming this weekend, he said.

“The weather’s looking good,” Nickerson said. “The chatter on

Facebook is looking good.”Admission is $5 per person.

Those younger than 16 years old are admitted free. For more in-formation about the Jeep Bless-ing and the Cadillac Jeepers, visit cadillacjeepers.com.

By Mardi suhs cadillac news

CADILLAC — Members of the Wexford County His-torical So-c i e t y a re hoping the public will help kick-off their sum-mer season at weekend events to cel-ebrate their g rand re -opening.

A Friday night party will offer a sneak peak at the newly restored ro-tunda.

After years of repairs were done to the outside of the build-ing, after leaks were stopped and plaster re-stored — the rotunda is now a shimmering gem, equal to its original gran-deur.

The circular, architectur-

al wonder has been painted sky blue with white trim and is framed by newly restored soft yellow walls. The new paint highlights

architectur-al features t h a t h a d faded from years of ne-glect.

The proj-ect included plaster re-pair to the dome plus the two en-try areas and arch-ways to the a d j a c e n t rooms. A d r o p p e d ceiling in the west en-try was re-moved.

“I think people are going to be excited to see that,” said WCHS v o l u n t e e r T h e l m a

Merritt. “People always asked me why the rotun-da looked so bad. I’m ex-cited to see how beautiful

it is now.”On Saturday, an open

house from noon to 7 p.m. will feature tours, a his-torical slide show, and a chance for people to view the rotunda plus another new addition.

Last winter, local artist Shannon Nelson created a memorial wall honoring the area’s Vietnam veter-ans. Her mural is located at the bottom of the stair-cases to the basement and features the images of ar-ea veterans that lost their lives in the war. Beneath the mural is a glass case containing memorabilia and letters that were left at the Moving Vietnam Wall exhibit that was here in August, 2011.

Museum hours from Sat-urday through Sept. 1 are Wednesday and Thursday, noon to 5 p.m. and Friday and Saturday, noon to 7 p.m.

Individual, local dona-tions funded the dome restoration project, along with donations from area organizations and busi-nesses: Cadillac Area Scandinavian Society, Cadillac Rotary, Cadillac Preservation Guild, UBC,

Wexford Woods, and Sher-man Williams. Lynn Mon-tague painted the ceiling with the help of scaffolds placed by Jack Powell and crew.

BOSTON (AP) — Three college friends of Boston Marathon bombing sus-pect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were arrested and accused Wednesday of removing a backpack containing hol-lowed-out fireworks from Tsarnaev’s dorm room three days after the attack to keep him from getting into trouble.

In court papers, the FBI said one of them threw the backpack in the garbage — it was later found in a landfill by law enforcement officers — after the young men concluded from news reports that Tsarnaev was one of the bombers.

Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev, both 19-year-olds from Kazakh-stan, were charged with conspiring to obstruct jus-tice by concealing and de-stroying evidence. Robel Phillipos, 19, who graduated from the prestigious Cam-bridge Rindge and Latin High School with Tsarnaev, was charged with lying to investigators about the visit to Tsarnaev’s room.

The three were not ac-cused of any involvement in the bombing itself. But in a footnote in the court papers outlining the charges, the

FBI said that about a month before the bombing, Tsar-naev told Tazhayakov and Kadyrbayev that he knew how to make a bomb.

The lawyers for the Ka-zakh students said their cli-ents had nothing to do with the bombing and were just as shocked by the crime as everyone else. Phillipos’ at-torney, Derege Demissie, said outside court: “The only allegation is he made a misrepresentation.”

At a court appearance in the afternoon, the Kazakh students did not request bail and will be held for an-other hearing May 14. Phil-lipos was held for a hearing on Monday.

Three people were killed and more than 260 injured on April 15 when two bombs exploded near the finish line. Tamerlan Tsarnaev died after a gunfight with police days later. His young-er brother, Dzhokhar Tsar-naev, a 19-year-old sopho-more at the University of Massachusetts at Dart-mouth, was captured and lies in a prison hospital.

Investigators have not said whether the pressure cooker bombs used in the attacks were made with gunpowder extracted from

fireworks.Tazhayakov and Kady-

rbayev have been held in jail for more than a week on allegations they vio-lated their student visas by not regularly going to class at UMass. All three men charged Wednesday began attending UMass with Tsar-naev in 2011, according to the FBI.

If convicted, Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov could get up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Phil-lipos faces a maximum of eight years behind bars and a $250,000 fine.

Authorities allege that on the night of April 18, after the FBI released surveillance-camera photos of the bomb-ing suspects and the three men suspected their friend was one of them, they went to Tsarnaev’s dorm room.

Before Tsarnaev’s room-

mate let them in, Kadyr-bayev showed Tazhayakov a text message from Tsar-naev that read: “I’m about to leave if you need some-thing in my room take it,”

according to the FBI. When Tazhayakov learned of the message, “he believed he would never see Tsarnaev alive again,” the FBI said in the affidavit.

It was not clear from the court papers whether au-thorities believe that was an instruction from Tsar-naev to his friends to de-stroy evidence.

TUSTIN — The battle of the big two came early, and it did not disappoint.

Pine River and Beal City, considered by most the fa-vorites for the Highland Conference softball title, fi-nally got together on the dia-mond after a day’s delay, and the two heavy hitters split their doubleheader Wednes-day night.

The opener was a back-and-forth affair, with the Ag-gies getting the last word in a 7-6 win.

“It was kind of a comedy of errors (for both teams),” Bucks coach Laura Mumby said. “It was back-and-forth, back-and-forth, and we end-ed up coming up a little bit short.”

Jamie Justin took the loss on the mound, giving up 11 hits and three earned runs while issuing two walks and fanning six in a complete game effort.

At the plate, Jandney Mattson had a double and a two-RBI triple; Erica Buch-ner two hits; Alexis Sebas-tiano a two-RBI single; and Cayman Gatt a double.

In the nightcap, Pine River answered with a 10-7 victory to earn the split.

Justin got the win, giving up 10 hits, three walks and five earned runs while fan-ning seven.

Offensively, Cristie Nelson had three hits; Sebastiano two hits; Pilar Ganger two hits and three RBIs; Matt-son a hit; Buchner a hit; and Kassy Nelson a hit.

“I was really proud of our kids for coming back and playing more solid ball, be-ing more aggressive and

not giving up on themselves after getting beat in the first game,” Mumby said.

Pine River (4-5, 1-1) hosts Big Rapids tonight.

Baseball sweptPine River struggled

to put the bat on the ball against some tough pitching in dropping a pair to Beal City, 4-1 and 11-1.

The Bucks (4-2, 0-2), who’ve managed to get just four games under their belts this spring, haven’t faced the type of pitching the Ag-gies brought to the mound Wednesday, and that lack of experience was evident in both contests.

“We had some tough games scheduled, but we lost those (to the weather), and the ones we did have weren’t the same caliber as Beal City,” Bucks coach Shawn Ruppert said.

“We haven’t seen that kind of pitching yet this year, and they have,” he added. “The second game, we just walked too many, and when we did get it across, they hit it.”

The opener was a pitching duel from the outset, as Pine River senior Lincoln Erick-son kept the Aggies in check through the early innings, allowing just one run.

A Devin Ruppert RBI sin-gle in the bottom of the first tied the contest at 1-1, where it stayed before the Aggies notched one of their two hits to take a 2-1 lead in the sixth.

Erickson finished with 14 strikeouts in a complete game effort, giving up three earned runs and issuing four walks while hitting two batters.

“We just didn’t execute on a couple plays we should’ve made,” Shawn Ruppert said. “We hit the ball hard, we just hit it right at them it seemed like.”

Mitch McDonald and Brandon Hoaglund picked up singles at the plate.

In the nightcap, Tyler

Lewis took the loss on the mound, while offensively Hoaglund and Lucas Harris had doubles, and McDonald and Devin Ruppert had sin-gles. Harris had the Bucks’ lone RBI.

“We can play better than we did tonight,” Shawn Rup-pert said.

DETROIT — Anibal San-chez struck out the first two hitters he faced — then the trouble began.

A walk. A double. Then an-other walk and a sin-gle.

Sudden-ly, the De-troit right-h a n d e r was strug-gling to get out of the first in-ning.

Sanchez settled down eventually, but this was nothing like his 17-strike-out performance last week against Atlanta. Instead, he gave up three runs in six in-nings, and the Tigers lost to the Minnesota Twins 6-2 on Wednesday.

"I think Sanchy was just too excited at the start," Ti-gers manager Jim Leyland said. "He was throwing too hard, and it hurt his com-mand. He got it back, because he's an excellent pitcher."

But Detroit could never take the lead. Scott Dia-mond pitched six solid innings, and the Twins snapped Detroit's five-game winning streak.

Sanchez fanned five in the first two innings, but Min-nesota scored two runs in the first and another in the second. Diamond (2-2) didn't allow a hit until Jhonny Peralta's single in the fifth.

The Tigers fought back af-ter trailing 3-0, but reliever Bruce Rondon allowed two more runs in the seventh to make it 5-2. Chris Parmelee hit a solo homer in the eighth.

Detroit sent Rondon back to the minors after the game.

Diamond allowed two runs and four hits and was pulled after 88 pitches.

"Diamond was really good. He was moving the ball from side to side and keeping us off balance," De-troit's Torii Hunter said. "I thought Anibal was really good, and he probably de-served a win today, but the offense wasn't there."

Closer Glen Perkins pitched the ninth for Min-nesota in a non-save situa-tion. He allowed singles by Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder with nobody out, but Victor Martinez hit into a double play, helping Per-kins out of the jam.

Sanchez allowed five hits, struck out nine and walked two. Reliever Jose Ortega struck out two in the ninth, giving the Detroit staff 11 strikeouts for the game. It was the sixth consecutive game for the Tigers with at least 10 strikeouts — the longest streak by an American League team since at least 1921.

By GREG BEACHAMaP sPorTs wri Ter

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Teemu Se-lanne scored his first NHL playoff goal when Detroit defenseman Danny DeKeyser was 3 years old.

The Finnish Flash has been tor-menting goalies for two decades since then, right up to his winner in the Anaheim Ducks' playoff opener against the Red Wings.

At 42, Selanne grows weary of hockey's travel grind and the offsea-

son training necessary to keep his remarkable career steaming ahead. He never gets tired of scoring goals, particularly from that spot in the left faceoff circle where he beat Jimmy Howard to put the Ducks on top.

"Usually I have a little bet-ter angle, but it was the end of the power play, so I decided I'm just going to shoot there and hope for the best," Selanne said after practice Wednesday. "That came in my mind

right away, before I even got the pass. I don't know how much time there was left, but (I) just tried to hold out and create something new."

When the Ducks return to Honda Center for Game 2 against Detroit on Thursday night, Selanne knows they'll need their veteran tough-

ness to get a similar result against the young, hungry Wings.

After years of being the playoff upstarts in their series with power-

ful Detroit, Anaheim can match up splendidly in experience.

Nobody has more than Selanne, who scored his 10th playoff goal against Detroit in Game 1 — more than any other active player — from the same area of the ice in which Se-lanne estimates he has scored a "cou-ple hundred" goals over the decades.

"That's vintage Teemu from that spot," said Daniel Cleary, who scored Detroit's only goal on a fortunate de-flection. "That's where he's been for years."

dash in 53.55 seconds, while Phillip Merrell was third in the 1600 run in 4:56.

LAKE CITY — Manton put it all together to top Lake City in a golf dual, 181-194 at the Missaukee Golf Course Wednesday.

The Rangers had all four competitors shoot in the 40s for the first time since 2005, according to coach Jeff Sinkel.

“I was really pleased with the progress the kids are making,” he said. “They’re working hard and eliminat-ing the blow-up holes, the big numbers.”

Lee Anderson was medal-ist with a career-best round of 42, while Kyle Paddock also shot a career-best, fir-ing a 46. Spencer Sucharski also shot a 46, while Ryan Schwab had a round of 47.

For the Trojans, Cody Burns led the way with a 45, followed by Bryant Mo-litor with a 46, Zach Red-man with a 46, and Mariah Aldrich with a 57.

“This was a good warm-up match,” Lake City coach Don Smith said. “We’re finally playing better golf and peaking at the right time.”

Manton and Lake City both compete in the Terry Thompson Invitational at the Missaukee Golf Course on Friday.

ELK RAPIDS — Cadillac struggled a bit in finishing fifth at the Elk Rapids Invitational Wednesday.

Traverse City West won the event with a team score of 293, while the Vikings shot a 346.

“We as a team have to work on limiting the big numbers,” Vikings coach Jack Foster said.“Nine different times we had triple bogeys or worse.

“If we hope to compete, we need to eliminate those big numbers.”

Sam Denman was low man for Cadillac with a round of 81. Gunnar Loeks shot an 86, while Ben Mackey had an 88, Matt Adams a 91, and Jordan Weaver a 93.

Cadillac is at the Mistwood Golf Course Satur-day for an event hosted by Traverse City West.

LAKE CITY — That’s some-thing you don’t see every day.

Lake City took advantage of a fairly rare occurrence in sweeping Kalkaska in a non-conference doublehead-er Wednesday night, 5-3 and 12-10.

In the opener, Jared Ball got the win, giving up no earned runs in five innings of work while scattering four hits, issuing three walks and fanning four. Dan Liestenfeltz earned the save with a scoreless sixth in-

ning.At the plate, brothers

Drew and Lucas Marion provided the fireworks, as Drew was 2-for-3 with an RBI and freshman Lucas was 2-for-3 with four RBIs. Austin Booms had two hits as well.

It was in the nightcap where things got a little nutty.

The Trojans found them-selves down by seven after four innings but rallied to tie it at 10-10 going into the fifth where they loaded the bases.

That’s when Booms, see-

ing the Kalkaska pitcher throwing from the windup, decided to try a straight steal of home.

“He saw the kid using the windup, and asked me if he could try it (stealing home),” Lake City coach Travis Hubbard said. “I fig-ured it was worth a try.

“If nothing else, I thought he (the Kalkaska pitcher) might stop and we’d get the run on the balk, but he didn’t, and Austin beat the throw.”

Lucas Marion started and tossed three innings, giving up six hits, three earned

runs and three walks while striking out two. Liesten-feltz earned the win in re-lief, going three innings and giving up five hits, three earned runs and no walks with two strikeouts.

At the plate, Kevin Kun-kel was 2-for-4 with an RBI; Booms was 1-for-3 with three RBIs; Brent Benavides was 2-for-4 with an RBI; and Bradley Adkins had a hit and an RBI.

Lake City (7-1) hosts its annual invitational Satur-day with Marion, Whitte-more-Prescott, and Farwell, starting at 9 a.m.

BUCKLEY — After a chilly start to spring, they’ll take a warm one.

Buckley hosted Mesick, Suttons Bay and Grand Traverse Academy in a quad track meet on a day where the temperatures creeped above 80 degrees, and it was Mesick that rolled to wins in both the boys’ and girls’ competi-tions.

“It was a warm day, and it caught a lot of people off guard,” Buckley coach Ken Wicker said.

“It was a competitive meet.

“The scores were close, and I was happy with the way our kids competed.”

On the boys’ side, Mesick got the win with 86 points, followed by Suttons Bay at 71, GTA at 45, and Buckley at 33.

For the Bulldogs, Zach Workman was one of three double winners, taking the 1600 meter run in 4:52 and the 3200 run in 10:43.

Billy Bardocz topped the podium in the long jump with a leap of 18-feet, 10-inches and the 300 hur-dles in a time of 43.9 sec-onds. John King won the 400 dash in 53.5 seconds and the 200 dash in 23.5 sec-onds.

For Buckley, Jake Bur-gess won the pole vault, clearing 9-0, and was third in both the 400 dash and 200 dash, where he finished in a personal best 24.8 sec-onds.

Michael Rosek won the 800 run in 2:19, while Luke Somsel won the shot with a throw of 42-4 and tossed a PR in the discus of 109-0.

On the girls’ side, Me-sick finished first with 72 points, followed by Suttons Bay at 57, GTA at 55, and Buckley at 44.

For Mesick, Sierra King won the 100 hurdles in 17.8 seconds, the long jump with a leap of 14-8.5, and the 400 dash in 1:04.9.

Paige Fuller won the 100 dash in 13.2 seconds and the 300 hurdles in 53.5 sec-

onds, while Maddie Clock took the 200 dash in 27.3 seconds.

By ANNE M. PETERSONaP sPorts writer

PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard has been unani-mously chosen the NBA's Rookie of the Year.

Lillard, the sixth overall pick in last June's draft out of Weber State, led all rookies with a 19-point scoring average. He also averaged 6.1 assists and 3.1 rebounds, playing in all 82 games this season.

Lillard broke Stephen Curry's rookie record for 3-pointers in a sea-son, finishing with 185. He is the fourth player in league history to win the Eddie Gottlieb Tro-

phy unanimously, joining Blake Griffin in 2011, Da-vid Robinson in 1990 and Ralph Sampson in 1984.

"I think the best thing for me is to take it all in," he said. "Then tomorrow I've got to let it go. I've got my whole career in front of me."

Lillard pretty much was a lock for the award after he swept all six Rookie of the Month awards this season. He is eighth player to win in every month of the sea-son since the award was created in 1981-82.

"I kind of figured I was ahead," Lillard said about the race for the honor. "But I didn't think I had it locked up."

HOT TOPICS: 3 ISSUES GENERATING A BUZZ

Danica Patrick was busy last week. Not only was her divorce fi nalized, but she made an appearance on Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” before arriving at Richmond International Raceway to compete in Saturday night’s Sprint Cup race, where she fi nished 29th. Her No. 10 Chevy had a sticker of Colbert’s face on the side of the car. The media cornered Patrick the day before the race.

Your divorce was fi nal last week, any comments on that?

“No. It is just the end.”

After the race last week, were you really mad at David Gilliland, or was that just venting?

“Yes, I was mad. I’ve felt like he drives very aggressively against me (since) Darlington last year. There was just a lot more of it last weekend, and I was frustrated. But, I think in general, it was a frustrating race, and that was just one of the elements.”

How much of a chance do you think you have of winning at Talladega, considering how well you ran at Daytona?

“I feel like I’ve learned some lessons from Daytona about the draft, and what unfolds at the

end, if you are in the right place at the right time. I think that when we talk speedway racing, there’s a lot of luck involved. Like I said — right place at the right time. There are a lot of people that have a good chance of winning Talladega, I think. Hopefully, we are one of them. But, we won’t know that until the end of the race.”

How was “The Colbert Report” experience?“I love Stephen Colbert’s sense of humor.

That was the fi rst time I have been on his show. I was excited. He’s a cool guy. Obviously, he plays a character. He said before I went out there: ‘My character is incredibly ignorant and stupid. Just

bear with me; have fun with it.’ It was cool.”

Did Gilliland’s “shutup and drive” comment bother you, or did you sort of feel like he is treating you like everyone else?

“No, I don’t think he races me like everyone else. I watched him move over and let someone by, so no, I don’t think he does. And, that is what makes me mad. He is just getting more attention for this than he deserves. I think he was just driving in a way that I didn’t think was appropriate, and I haven’t thought was appropriate for a long time, but it was just too much that time.”

Jeff Burton hasn’t won a Cup race since 2008, so his heart was pounding when he had the lead with two laps to go at Richmond. But he had one major disadvantage — worn tires. He gambled on track position and lost, fi nishing fi fth in the 1.5-mile scramble to the checkered fl ag.

But this had to make it hurt just a bit worse: He lost to teammate Kevin Harvick, who restarted seventh on fresh tires and had a comfortable lead by the time the fi eld got to the white fl ag. To Burton’s credit, he shrugged it off.

“Obviously, new tires are a lot better,” he said. “But, it was worth a shot.”

Harvick beating Burton at Richmond was not lost on car owner Richard Childress, who gave Burton a verbal pat on the back during the winner’s interview. “I think everyone, even (Harvick’s) team, was probably pulling for Burton.”

Juan for the ages After sputtering along for almost two years, Earnhardt

Ganassi Racing appears to be getting back up to speed.The two-car organization put together a pair of solid runs

Saturday at Richmond and posted its fi rst top-fi ve fi nish since Aug. 27, 2011 (Jamie McMurray – fi fth, Bristol).

McMurray and teammate Juan Pablo Montoya were lined up in the top fi ve on a green-white-checkered restart.

McMurray, who elected to hold track position on old tires, went from second to 26th in two laps but showed moxie with the gamble.

Montoya, who had a 0.613-second lead over race winner Kevin Harvick before the fi nal caution on Lap 396 of 400, pulled down pit road for fresh tires. He snagged a fourth-place fi nish – his fi rst top-5 since April 3, 2011 (4th, Martinsville).

The late caution wiped away a sure victory, but Montoya – who led 67 laps – was giddy on pit road because his team was competitive from start to fi nish.

“Yeah, we made the right calls when we pitted and when we stayed out and everything, but we got that caution at the end, and it was a no-brainer to take tires,” said Montoya, who hasn’t won in 95 Cup races. “I thought everybody on the team did a really good job, and I’m just really proud of the guys.”

Best in classWhen Roger Penske decided to leave Dodge, join Ford

and lease engines from Roush Yates Racing, most everyone thought Penske Racing would take a hit on the competition index.

Just the opposite has happened. Through nine Cup races, Penske’s top-fi nishing driver — either Brad Keselowski or Joey Logano — has crossed the stripe ahead of the top fi nisher at Roush Fenway Racing — Carl Edwards, Greg Biffl e and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. — seven times.

Keselowski has four top-5s, and Logano has three top-5s — and two post-race fl are-ups.

ONE WINS,ONE FAILS

AP/Steve HelberTroll the infi eld at Tal-ladega this week, and you’ll see dozens of guys who look like this.

STEWARTBUSCH

Why aren’t you impressed with Kevin Harvick’s Richmond win?

First, we have to defi ne “impressed.” Sure, the Answer Man is impressed, as always, by Harvick’s ability to handle the closing laps when he’s in contention. He smells the lead the way Paul Hornung sniffed the end zone (ask your daddy). But we like to look long-term at consequences here, and long-term, we’re not sure it’s gonna help Kevin’s efforts to keep Budweiser’s frothy checkbook with him as he leaves for Stewart-Haas next season.

What are you hearing?Nothing, and that’s always scary. Here’s the deal: Under normal circumstances, Anheuser-Busch would naturally want to hitch its marketing wagon to a consistent producer like Harvick and follow him wherever he goes. But the trump card, this time, is a 3. If Richard Childress tells Budweiser he’s putting Austin Dillon in the No. 3 next year, what corporation could resist that?

Is Kurt Busch steadily alienating every potential ride in the garage?

You know Kurt desperately wants another chance in a top-tier ride, but, yes, he has seemingly burned every bridge – at Richmond, he further torched them by irritating Tony Stewart and Matt Kenseth. But believe this: Sometimes a big sponsor attaches itself to a driver, not an owner. If Kurt somehow attracts the right meal ticket (WWE?) and brings along enough budget, there’s not an owner out there who wouldn’t “give the guy another chance.”

AP/Clem BrittHarvick learned long ago, Bud is for drinking, champagne for spraying.

With the current climate, is this any time for Talladega?

GODSPEAK: We all know that every crash at Talladega is purely “accidental” or caused by “unavoidable contact” or “just one of them racing deals.”KEN’S CALL: As unpredictable as things have been lately, Talladega will probably run caution-free. Stop laughing.

Will Nelson Piquet Jr.’s image survive his

Richmond actions?GODSPEAK: This was much more than a simple knee-jerk reaction by young Piquet. In this case, there’s more to heal than just Piquet’s image.KEN’S CALL: Well, I’m sure his closest friends will still be there for him. Wearing a cup, of course … you know … just in case. But they’ll be there.

Manton JV softball sweeps Lake City

Manton — Manton’s JV softball squad swept a dou-bleheader from Lake City Tuesday, 12-3 and 14-1.

Katie Moffit got the win in both games.

Moffit doubled and tripled in the opener, and went 3-for-3 in the night-cap, while Ally Dunn homered in the opener and Riley McNamara had two hits and Elaine Shultz doubled in the nightcap.

Raburn has 4 hits as Indians beat Phillies 6-0

CLEVELAND (AP) — Ryan Raburn has been so good at the plate, he’s now getting his name chanted when he takes the field.

Raburn tied a career high with four hits and drove in two runs, and the Cleveland Indians beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-0 on Wednesday night.

Raburn, coming off back-to-back two-homer games, had an RBI single in the third and a run-scor-ing double in the fifth. He has 12 hits in his last 14 at-bats, a stretch that began Sunday, while totaling four homers, nine RBIs and five runs scored in the last four games.

Raburn has taken ad-vantage of increased play-ing time due to injuries to Nick Swisher and Mi-chael Bourn. Over his last seven games, he’s batting .500 (15 for 30) and has raised his average from .195 to .364.

Harden powers past illness, lifts Rockets

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — James Harden scored 31 points and sank seven 3-pointers while fighting through flu-like symptoms, and the Houston Rockets beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 107-100 Wednes-day night to pull within 3-2 in their first-round playoff series.

Kevin Durant finished with 36 points for Oklaho-ma City, which must now travel to Houston for Game 6 on Friday night.

The Rockets played with-out starting point guard Jeremy Lin for the second straight game because of a bruised chest muscle. Key reserve Carlos Delfino didn’t play in the second half because of a sore left foot.

tV worker dies after collapsing at turner Field

ATLANTA (AP) — The Washington Nationals say an Atlanta-area television worker has died after col-lapsing before their game against the Braves.

Nationals spokesman John Dever says 61-year-old Reuben Porras of Newnan, Ga., collapsed Wednesday while setting up for MLB Network, which is set to broadcast the finale of the four-game series in Atlanta on Thursday.

Washington’s head ath-letic trainer, Lee Kuntz, and his assistant, John Hsu, helped to stabilize Porras before he was taken away in an ambulance. But Dever says the team learned the man later died at a hospital from an ap-parent heart attack.

CaDILLaC — Close out the Goph-erwood Concerts season with an unforgettable experience: a house concert.

Drive South, an Americana and original band comprised of Mary Sue Wilkinson and Roger Brown, will play a special show at the home of Paul and Nancy Brown

Saturday.Drive South brings together two

seasoned musicians known most recently as the core of country band Sister Wilene. Vocal duets, featuring tight-harmony singing, are the perfect match for Brown’s original American-roots music.

Everyone is welcome to Goph-erwood Concerts’ shows, and ad-vance tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students, and free for kids

younger than 12 with an adult. Tickets at the door cost $12 for

adults, $6 for students. Pick up your ticket at Toy Town in down-town Cadillac or order by calling 231-846-8383. Advance tickets or reservations are recommended, as seating is limited. Bring snacks and the beverage of your choice.

The show is 8 p.m. Saturday at the Browns’ home at 4320 E. 46 Road, Cadillac.

“Drive South features two highly-talented performers, and we are thrilled to have them fin-ish our season in the intimate at-mosphere that is provided at our house concerts,” said Paul Brown, promotions director for Goph-erwood Concerts. “Bring your friends and help us close out our season with a great night of music with friends and family.”

RAVE REVIEWS:

“It is in showing where to find out-of-the-way trout streams that makes the map such a treasure to the fisherman.”

— Joe Gordon, TRIBUNE-DEMOCRAT, Johnstown, PA

“I have one of the original Higbee’s Stream Map of Pennsylvania on my wall behind my desk. It’s the best thing available as far as streams are concerned. I use it all the time for reference. I don’t know of anything more extensive, and it is the most accurate map out there as far as streams are concerned.”

—Dave Wolf, PA Fish and Boat Commission

LOST STREAM MAPThe 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 Higbee’s 30 years of work to a landfill.

The few remaining dog-eared copies became a prized fisherman’s 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 Higbee’s dream came true. Computers made it possible to reprint the map. Holding an updated map, Howard said, “I never thought I’d live to see this day.”

Then, by combining Professor Higbee’s knowledge with computer technology — the STREAM & LAKE MAP OF MICHIGAN was created.

DEAR AMY: My son, who is in his early 30s, has been diagnosed with amyo-trophic lateral sclerosis, which is a terminal illness. Many people know about his illness, but my parents do not know. They can see that he is not well since his body is losing many func-tions.

My parents observe these symptoms, but now that we have a definite diagnosis we worry about informing my parents about their grandson. They have asked me if he will ever get bet-ter, but I didn’t give them a yes-or-no answer.

My parents are in their 80s, and although very mentally “with it,” their physical health is not great, and they tend to get upset easily and take bad information very hard. Re-cently my mother landed in the hospital with an anxiety attack.

They are also not easy to fool. They suspect people try to keep bad news from them and are very alert to all that happens around them.

I think we should relate the unfortunate diagno-sis. Others in the family believe that, by informing them of a terminal diagno-sis, we are not only taking away any hope from them,

but opening the possibility of a very negative medical impact on them.

I am also concerned that someday some-one may slip or my parents may find out on their own, so I feel that it is best to tell them.

Should we just proceed as we have been doing and not say any-thing, or should we tell them — and if so, how?

— Sad MotherDEAR SAD: My

thoughts are with you and your son. You don’t say what he wants to do, but you should do what is best for him — and for you. If your son tells you he doesn’t have the strength to deal with his grandpar-ents’ stress, then absolute-ly shield him from it.

However, I believe that most people are able to ad-just to a tough outcome if they know the truth but al-so have a positive function to perform. In your case, you might say, “Steve has ALS. He is heading down a very challenging road because this is a progres-

sive disease. He will do best if he has our love and support and a positive attitude. Can you help by accepting this, not worrying too much and cheer-ing him on?”

DEAR AMY: A year ago, my loving son (who is an excellent optometrist in a town an hour away) became very upset with me when I used a local optometrist.

I used the lo-cal optometrist

because I knew my son was overwhelmed. I explained to him that I was trying to make life simpler for him as I knew he would find a way to see me during his lunch hour or after-hours.

He was upset about this for a long time and said I had really hurt his feel-ings by not using him. We moved on and do not dis-cuss it anymore.

After a year, I need to get my eyes checked again; they need more and more attention.

What should I do? Go back to my son (who is now as busy as ever) or use a lo-cal optometrist? This may

seem like a minor problem, but I am at a loss.

— FarsightedDEAR FARSIGHTED:

You must do what is best for your own health. Your son has already been hon-est, and you may have to accept his hurt feelings as a simple reality and realize that you cannot practi-cally do anything about it. He may feel less slighted if you ask him for a local referral, but do not bow to pressure — actual or perceived. As a son (and health care provider), he should support your best interests.

DEAR AMY: “Broke Student” had parents who were funding her educa-tion and housing. Now she wondered why they wouldn’t happily pay her rent while she moved in with her boyfriend.

It’s a fact of life that “fair is fair.” If the parents pay, they get to dictate the terms.

— Avid ReaderDEAR READER: It is

unreasonable for “Broke Student” to expect her par-ents to pay for something they don’t believe in.

Today’s Birthday (05/02/13). Be-tween now and June 25, a bar-rier dissolves and ushers in new career opportunities. After that, community, home and family responsibilities busy you for the rest of the year. Teamwork mag-nifies efforts. Education and net-working for positive impact in-spires. Balance work with abun-dant play.

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) — To-day is a 9 — Consider the mon-ey, but don’t get stopped by lack of it. If you have trouble adjust-ing, discover other resources, like groups and networks with valuable connections and oppor-tunities. What can you trade?

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — To-day is a 7 — Assume new duties, and prepare for inspection. Re-main firmly patient with a resist-

er. Having love makes it easier to stick to a budget. Find a pleas-ant surprise at home.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) — To-day is an 8 — You don’t have to spend a lot to impress your date. Find inventive ways to show you care. Travel, studies and educa-tion tickle your fancy. Have an adventure.

cancer (June 21-July 22) — Today is a 9 — Follow a hunch, even if it seems ridiculous at first. Don’t overspend, and report clearly. A conflict between love and money makes it a tricky time for romance. Learn from an experi-enced tutor.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 9 — Put your talent to work, and keep to the budget. It’s not a good time to travel yet, but you’re lucky now. Handle that main obligation first. Getting it complete satisfies.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 9 — Stick to practical issues, especially if controversy arises. Gather information for an ex-

panding project, and include important details. Make minor repairs. Increase your skills in the coming week for a new under-standing.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 9 — Take on more work this week. You gain in popularity. There’s a potential clash with authority. That’s part of the pro-cess, so anticipate some disagree-ment. Share ideas with your part-ner, and dare to stand out.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — To-day is an 8 — Don’t overstep your bounds. True, things are getting stirred up. Obligations may force a delay. More money is coming soon, but resist an en-thusiastic salesperson anyway. Don’t take risks or travel long-distance yet.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is an 8 — Be careful as you address ancient issues. Consistent effort wins. Accept acknowledgement from a per-son you admire. There’s positive cash flow ahead, but keep to

your budget anyway. Sidestep a controversy.

capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — To-day is a 9 — Make a sales call. Stick with your principles, and work to achieve immediate goals. You can achieve abun-dance together. Tempers may be short. Discuss; don’t argue. Take a timeout, if needed. Build up reserves.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — To-day is a 7 — Work interferes with play. Continue to increase your investigation in the coming week. Consider whatever might go wrong. Develop greater skill. Financial shortages will be over-come. Go out somewhere nice together.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — To-day is an 8 — Circumstances change quickly, so bid high if you really want it. Don’t force things. Continue to decrease obliga-tions and worries this week. Get out into the community. There’s enough money, but spend thoughtfully.
