Final Mercer murder defendant takes plea deal ALL HALLOWS EVE By RICHARD JENKINS [email protected] HURLEY – Curtis A. Wolfe, 28, of Lac du Flambeau, appeared in Iron County Court Thursday and pleaded to his role in the 2017 murder of a Lac du Flambeau man. Wolfe entered no-contest pleas to being a party to the crime of second degree reckless homicide by omission, being a party to the crime of hiding a corpse, being a felon in posses- sion of a weapon, and being the party to a crime of harboring or aiding a felon. “I have reviewed the criminal complaint in this case. I reviewed Mr. Wolfe’s testimony in the Allen-Lussier trial that I previously referenced. I also reviewed the testimony of James Lussier at that trial,” said Judge Gregory Grau, referring to the trial of Richard Allen and Joseph Lussier. The two were sentenced to life in prison without parole in August 2018 after a jury con- victed them of being the two shooters. “And finally, I reviewed the report attached to (motions filed in Wolfe’s case regarding potential witness testi- mony). “Based upon the contents of all of those documents and mat- ters, I find there is a sufficient factual bases for the pleas Mr. Wolfe has entered before the court here today.” Wolfe was designated as a repeater on all four of the charges due to a 2017 Vilas County pos- session of methamphetamine charge, which increases the pos- sible sentence he faces on each count. Assistant Attorney General Chad Verbeten – one of the spe- cial prosecutors trying the case for the Wisconsin Department of Justice – said the plea agreement also calls for the prosecution and defense attorneys to offer a joint sentencing recommendation of 20 years in prison and 10 years of extended supervision. Wolfe had been scheduled to stand trial on charges of being a party to the crime of first degree intentional homicide and being a party to the crime of hiding a corpse Nov. 4-8, but Thursday’s plea negates the need for the jury trial. Wolfe was one of five men charged in connection to the beating and shooting death of Wayne Valliere Jr., whose body was found Jan. 1, 2018 in a remote area of Iron County. Prosecutors say the five men drove Valliere into Iron County and shot him on Dec. 22, 2017, depositing the body off a seldom- used road north of Mercer. The body was recovered behind a berm, hidden off Swamp Creek Road, near the end of Moose Lake Road. In addition to Allen and Lussier; Lussier’s brother, James Lussier, 21, was sentenced in Jan- uary to 15 years in prison and another 15 years of extended supervision, along with another eight years of probation to be served after the first sentence for his role in the killing. Another defendant – Evan T. Oungst, 29 – is awaiting sentenc- ing after pleading guilty to 12 felonies in two cases related to Valliere’s murder in May. He is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 27. A pre-sentence investigation was ordered Thursday in Wolfe’s case and the parties expressed a hope that sentencing could take place sometime in January.

Marenisco expects good turnout for marijuana vote By P.J. GLISSON [email protected] MARENISCO – On Nov. 5, citizens of Marenisco Township will face what might be one of the most contentious elections in their history. After months of meetings, a public hearing, and a summer vote in which the township Board of Trustees opened its doors to recreational marijuana, voters now will have the oppor- tunity to repeal the related ordi- nance and slam those doors shut. The single question on the ballot for these voters is “Should Marenisco Township Ordinance Number 06172019 regulating marijuana facilities be repealed?” As Marenisco Supervisor Richard Bouvette explained, “It’s basically an ordinance that regu- lates the growth and sale of mar- ijuana in the township.” According to Bouvette, if citi- zens vote “no,” the ordinance will stand, thus allowing the start of recreational facilities. If they vote “yes,” Bouvette said, “Then, we’ll have to create another ordinance.” The current ordinance is unprecedented in Gogebic County, and if it remains intact, Bouvette said, “We’ll get some more applications.” He said prospective entrepreneurs already have shown interest in setting up marijuana-related operations in the township.

MULTAN, Pakistan (AP)– A raging fire sweptthrough a train in Pak-istan’s eastern PunjabProvince on Thursday,killing 74 people, and sur-vivors said afterward ittook nearly 20 minutes forthe train to stop amid con-tradictory reports aboutthe condition of the train’sbrakes.

Three carriages wereconsumed by flames froma fire caused by a cookinggas stove and dozens ofpeople jumped in panicfrom the speeding train.

Conductor SadiueAhmed Khan told TheAssociated Press the train’semergency breaking sys-tem was in perfect workingorder and the train stoppedwithin three minutes afterthe first signs of fire.

“This is the worsttragedy in my life as a driv-er,” he said.

Investigators said theywill be looking at thetrain’s braking system to

determine its condition atthe time of the fire. Sur-vivors recounted pulling atemergency cords thatweave through the train tonotify the conductor, butthey said the train contin-ued to speed down thetracks.

Ghulam Abbas, a pas-senger who had gotten onthe train in the town ofNawabshah in neighboringSindh Province with hiswife and two children,echoed other passengerswho said it took nearly 20minutes for the train tostop. He recounted watch-ing panicked passengersjumping off the speedinglocomotive.

“We learned afterwardthat most of them haddied,” he said.

Abbas’ wife, Sulai KhanBibi, said she was horrifiedwhat would happen to theirtwo small children. “Wewere so close to death, butAllah saved us,” she said,clutching the children.

The train, which wastraveling from the south-ern Arabian Sea port city ofKarachi to Rawalpindi, just6 miles from the federalcapital, was carrying 857passengers. Most of thedead were members ofTableeqi-e-Jamaat, an orga-nization of Islamic mis-sionaries. The fire wasbelieved to have started intheir compartment.

Mufti Wahab, a districtchief of the Tableeqi-e-Jamaat,said as many as 52 membersof his organization were “mar-tyred because of the fire.”

The fire apparentlystarted after one of severalsmall stoves brought on tothe train by the the Tablee-qi members exploded, set-ting other gas cylindersused to fuel the stoves onfire, said Deputy RailwaysCommissioner JamilAhmed.

Flames roared throughthe train engulfing threecarriages as it approachedthe town of Liaquatpur inPunjab. Survivors recount-ed horrific scenes of fellowpassengers screaming asthey jumped through win-dows and off the train,flames billowing from thecarriages.

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP)– For tens of thousands ofchildren in California, thebiggest monsters this Hal-loween are wildfires thathave thrown trick-or-treat-ing into disarray.

Nancy Metzger-Carterand her family have beenin a San Francisco hotelsince Saturday when ablaze in Sonoma County

wine country forced themto evacuate their home inthe small community ofGraton.

Every day, her 11-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son worriedly askedhow they would still haveHalloween because theyleft their costumes behind.

“We were like, ‘No mat-ter what, you’re gonna havea Halloween. We’re gonnafigure it out,’” Metzger-Carter said Wednesday.

Her son, who was goingto be a ninja, settled for aSWAT officer costume theyfound at Target. Her daugh-ter and her 10-year-oldfriend, whose family alsoevacuated, went to theLove on Haight boutique inthe city’s famed Haight-Ashbury neighborhood toput together hippie cos-tumes.

“The people were sosweet to them. They foundpants that will fit them.They were helping to cutthem,” Metzger-Carter said.

Many families who livein and around wine coun-try north of San Franciscohave no neighborhood tobring their kids to collectcandy because they’re com-ing home to destruction,

are still under evacuationorders or facing lingeringpower outages meant toprevent electrical equip-ment from starting fires inwindy weather.

And kids on the otherside of San Francisco Bay,southeast of the SonomaCounty blaze, are seeingHalloween plans literallygo up in smoke.

“Today at work, ourlunch conversation was:‘What are you going to dofor Halloween if the air isnot good?” said Hillary Sar-dinas, a field biologist inthe Bay Area city of Albany.“It’s obviously not thebiggest issue with the fires.You care about peoplebeing safe. But yeah, it’spotentially a lot of disap-pointed kids.”

Some parents like Sar-dinas thought aboutthrowing a Halloweenparty instead. She and herhusband had planned tohost their daughters’preschool classmates withcandy, a pinata and amovie if trick-or-treatingwasn’t an option. But afterlooking at the air qualityThursday, Sardinas saidthey would go out withoutmasks.

FORMER TOP national security adviser to President Donald Trump, Tim Morrison,arrives for a closed door meeting to testify as part of the House impeachmentinquiry into President Donald Trump on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday.

Ex-Trump aide confirms Bidenprobe linked to Ukraine aid

WASHINGTON (AP) –A former top White Houseofficial confirmed Thurs-day that military aid toUkraine was held up byPresident Donald Trump’sdemand for the ally toinvestigate Democrats andJoe Biden, but testifiedthere’s nothing illegal, inhis view, about the quidpro quo at the center of theDemocrat-led impeach-ment inquiry.

Tim Morrison, whostepped down from theNational Security Councilthe day before testifying,was the first White Housepolitical appointee toappear and spent morethan eight hours behindclosed doors with Houseinvestigators.

“I want to be clear, I wasnot concerned that any-thing illegal was dis-cussed,” Morrison saidabout a pivotal phone callbetween Trump and theUkraine president, accord-ing to prepared remarksobtained by The Associat-ed Press.

But he confirmed whatdiplomat William Taylortold investigators in earliertestimony – that Morrisonhad a “sinking feeling”when he learned thatTrump was asking theUkrainians to publiclyannounce an investigationof Biden and theDemocrats, even as thepresident denied it was aquid pro quo.

“I can confirm,” Morri-son wrote, that the sub-stance of the diplomat’stestimony “is accurate.”

Morrison told investiga-tors that he and Taylor didnot realize the money wasbeing withheld for theinvestigation of Burisma,the gas company connect-ed to Biden, until a conver-sation with European

Union Ambassador Gor-don Sondland in Septem-ber.

“Taylor and I had noreason to believe that therelease of the security sec-tor assistance might beconditioned on a publicstatement reopening theBurisma investigation untilmy Sept. 1, 2019, conversa-tion with AmbassadorSondland,” Morrison testi-fied.

A defense hawk, Morri-son was the NationalSecurity Council’s topadviser for Russian andEuropean affairs until hestepped down Wednes-day. He was brought intothe White House by JohnBolton, the former nation-al security adviser whowas critical of Trump’sUkraine policy and theback-channel diplomacybeing run by the presi-dent’s personal lawyer,Rudy Giuliani.

Morrison testified thathe was told by his prede-cessor, Fiona Hill, whoalso testified in theimpeachment inquiry, thatGiuliani and Sondlandwere trying to get UkrainePresident Voldymyr Zelen-skiy “to reopen investiga-tions into Burisma,” hewrote.

Bolton resigned inSeptember, and Morrisonhad similarly been expect-ed to leave for some time. “Ido not want anyone tothink there is a connectionbetween my testimonytoday and my pendingdeparture,” he wrote.

As a national securityadviser, Morrison wasamong those listening toTrump’s July 25 call withthe Ukrainian leader thatsparked a whistleblower’scomplaint and theimpeachment inquiry.

He said he asked NSC

lawyers to review the callbecause he had three con-cerns if word of the discus-sion leaked: how it wouldplay out in polarizedWashington, how it wouldaffect bipartisan support inCongress for Ukraine andhow it would affect U.S.-Ukraine relations.

Republican lawmakersportrayed the openingremarks of the longtimeGOP policy operative asshifting the debate favor-ably toward Trump. Theysaid Morrison’s openingstatement contradictedother witnesses, but didnot provide details.

“It’s a very compellingwitness today that is givingtestimony that contradictssome of the testimony weheard,” said Rep. MarkMeadows, R-N.C.

Another Republican,Rep. Chip Roy of Texas,said, “When you all seewhat he had to say, it willbe interesting.”

Democrats, though,have said the witnesses arelargely corroborating thecentral argument of theimpeachment inquiry –that aid to Ukraine wasbeing withheld as theTrump administrationpushed the young democ-racy for the political inves-tigation.

It is against the law toseek or receive assistanceof value from a foreign enti-ty in a U.S. election. Trumpsays he did nothing wrong.

Morrison had been fea-tured prominently in previ-ous testimony from Taylor,the top diplomat inUkraine who testifiedbefore House investigatorslast week.

It was Morrison whofirst alerted Taylor to con-cerns over Trump’s phonecall with the Ukraine presi-dent.

DEARBORN – Withmany people preparing tohead out for the start ofthe Firearm Deer HuntingSeason, it is important toremember that almost 50percent of vehicle – deercrashes occur in Michiganduring the months ofOctober, November andDecember. In 2017, 43 per-cent of all vehicle-deercrashes occurred in thefall.Last year, 14 people

were killed in deer crashes.Over 64% of the fatalities(9) were on motorcycles.Another 1,335 people wereinjured in vehicle-deercrashes. In Michigan, vehi-cle-deer crashes are expen-sive, causing at least $130million in damage annual-ly. The state has a 1.8 mil-lion-strong deer herd. Deerfrequently travel in groups.If you see one deer crossthe road, chances are thereare more nearby.In 2018, there were

53,464 vehicle deer crash-es, up from 50,949 during2017. Oakland County hadthe most crashes with1,851. The remaining topnine were Kent (1,837),Jackson (1,537), Lapeer(1,275), Ottawa (1,267),Genesee (1,136), Allegan(1,160), Calhoun (1,104),Clinton (1,103) and Isabel-la (1,094). AAA offers these Five

Fall Safety Tips:

Motorists–Stay awake, alert and

sober.–Always wear a seat

able, don’t swerve, brakefirmly, hold onto the steer-ing wheel, stay in your laneand bring your car to a con-

trolled stop.

Motorcyclists–Stay awake, alert and

sober.–Slow down and be

alert for deer whenever youride.

Reminders and updates forhunters using blinds on

national forestsGLADSTONE –– The

USDA Forest Service wel-comes hunters to theHiawatha National Forest,which provides nearly amillion acres of public landfor the use and enjoymentof the American people.According to Forest Ser-

vice personnel, mosthunters are responsibleand follow the rules, how-ever there is growing con-cern about the incidence ofabandoned (or so–called‘permanent’) blinds onNational Forest Systemlands. Illegal blinds poseseveral risks includingsafety hazards, environ-mental damage and hunterconflicts.Hiawatha National For-

est Supervisor, Cid Mor-gan, offers severalreminders to hunters whouse hunting blinds andstands on National Forestlands. First, review theState of Michigan huntingregulations which requirethat:–Hunting blinds and

stands on public landsmust be portable and tem-porary.–Hunting platforms

cannot be affixed orattached to any tree bynails, screws, or bolts andscrew–in tree steps are ille-gal, meaning it is unlawfulto use any item that pene-trates through the bark of atree in the construction oraffixing of any device toassist in climbing a tree.–Blinds and stands can

be placed no earlier thanSeptember 1, 2019 andmust be removed by Jan-uary 1, 2020.–The name, phone

number and address of theowner must be posted onthe blind/stand.–Failure to remove any

type of blind, structure,equipment or trash canresult in fines, costs, andremoval, destruction,impoundment and/or

seizure of those items.“In the midst of hunting

season, we thought it time-ly to remind hunters thatthe hunt is not over whenthey’ve bagged their deer.Responsible huntingincludes removing yourblind from public land nolater than January 1,2020,” explains ForestSupervisor Morgan.Hunters using blinds on

National Forest Systemlands should also be awarethat there are some differ-ences between hunting onstate land versus NationalForest land. For instance,hunters should remember:All wheeled motor vehi-

cles, including off–high-way vehicles (OHVs) areallowed only on NationalForest roads and trailsshown open on the Forest’scurrent year Motor VehicleUse Map (MVUM). Con-sult the current MVUM todetermine which roads,trails and areas are current-ly available for motorizeduse. The map is updatedannually and is availablefree of charge on the webfs.usda.gov/goto/hiawatha/mvum.Motorized travel is

allowed on designatedroutes only. All cross coun-try motorized travel (off ofthe designated routes) isprohibited on NationalForest System lands, evenfor baiting or retrieval ofgame.Cutting branches,

limbs, trees, or other vege-tation for shooting lanes orto construct blinds is pro-hibited.Guiding on National

Forest land requires a fed-eral special use permit“We want to make sure

hunters are aware of For-est Service regulationsregarding impoundment,which apply to the pro-cess of removing blindsfrom national forests,”stated Morgan. Aban-

doned property, includingblinds left in place beyondthe State’s removal date,can be impounded assoon as seventy–twohours after they are dis-covered.Forest Service law

enforcement and investiga-tion personnel and otherstaff will remove aban-doned hunting blinds inaccordance with the Stateand federal regulations.For accurate informationabout hunting regulationsin Michigan, huntersshould review the currentyear’s MDNR “MichiganHunting and TrappingDigest,” paying particularattention to rules about,Blinds on Public Lands,Raised Platforms and TreeStands, Baiting, and Hunt-ing on National Forest Sys-tem lands. The MDNR’sGuide is available at DNRField Sites and allHiawatha National Forestoffices. In addition, thefederal regulations regard-ing impoundment (36CFRPart 262 Section 262.12)have recently been updat-ed. Abandoned blinds willbe removed in accordancewith this new regulation.The Forest Service

encourages hunters andthe public in general tocontact the local NationalForest office anytime theynotice illegal blinds on fed-eral Forest lands.For more information

on how you can help, or toreport illegal blinds ordumpsites, please contactyour local National Forestoffice, Mon.-Fri., 8 a.m.until 4:30 p.m. (unless oth-erwise noted):–Forest Supervisor’s

In Their Opinion

DAILY GLOBE

California is in a state of emergency.Since early October, millions of people in the

northern and southern parts of the state have hadtheir electricity shut off to prevent downed powerlines from setting off deadly fires, like the ones thatravaged the state last year. But these unprecedentedoutages haven’t been as effective as had been hoped;despite them, a series of wildfires, fanned by extraor-dinarily heavy winds, have swept through the stateforcing hundreds of thousands of people to evacuatetheir homes.

Nobody can honestly say this is a surprise, giventhe devastating fires of recent years. Yet it feels sur-prising all the same. How did things get so bad inCalifornia, so quickly?

The answer is climate change. It is here and ourcommunities are not ready for it.

California is no stranger to fire, especially whenthe dry Santa Ana winds sweep through the southernend of the state, turning sparks into conflagrations.However, countless researchers and governmentreports have warned for years that climate changewould amplify natural variations in the weather,leading to more frequent and more destructive wild-fires.

It’s clear that conditions are getting worsethroughout the state. Five of California’s 20 deadliestwildfires have occurred during the last two years.And 10 of the 20 most destructive wildfires, in termsof structures lost, occurred over the last 10 years.

And it’s also woefully apparent that the state’sinfrastructure cannot handle this new normal. Thepower outages left many regions without cellular ser-vice, emergency information, traffic lights or theother essentials of a modern, functioning communi-ty. Roads clogged as people tried to evacuate. And thefires have proved again and again that even homesand commercial areas in suburban – style neighbor-hoods seemingly far from forests or chaparral can betorched by embers carried for miles by hurricane –force winds.

California has to retrofit itself to make communi-ties more resistant to wildfires. That will mean, forexample, making sure buildings are fire resistant andburying power lines in high – fire – risk areas whenfeasible and developing microgrids that can providebackup power. It will be extraordinarily expensiveand politically fraught, but it’s essential to protectlives and control the chaos created by the growingfire threat.

But the wildfires are just the beginning of whatCalifornians can expect. We know what’s coming asthe effects of climate change became more pro-nounced. The state will have to contend with morefloods, coastal erosion and deadly heat waves.Intense weather will overwhelm existing public andprivate infrastructure unless we adapt now and buildmore resilient communities.

California has been a leader in trying to slow cli-mate change by cutting greenhouse gas emissions.That is still essential work because there’s still time toavoid some of the worst effects of global warming.

Climate change is at our doorstep in California.The rest of the world should be paying attention.

MALLARD FILLMOREDOONESBURY CLASSIC

Fighting missiles with musketsOPINION THE DAILY GLOBE • YOURDAILYGLOBE.COM4 l FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2019

I was in the ballpark with threegrandsons for Game 5 of the WorldSeries when President Trump’s pres-ence was announced on the score-board. The cascade of boos wasimmediate, heartfelt and very loud.

Of course, Washington is a heavi-ly Democratic city, and “abhorringPresident Trump is what unitesD.C.,” as Washington Post columnistPetula Dvorak put it. Still, there is apolitical lesson here.

The passion and energy in Demo-cratic ranks is largely negative, notpositive. It is mainly generatedagainst Trump, not in favor of a par-ticular candidate. But the intensitygap is a special problem for JoeBiden, who holds an almost 6-pointlead over Sen. Elizabeth Warren innational polls averaged by RealClear-Politics.

It’s hard to imagine a Biden rallywhere the fervor backing the candi-date matches the loathing for Trumpthat was so palpable in the stadium.And that’s not just a guess.

There is a primary going on rightnow, months before actual voterscast real ballots in Iowa, and themetric is money. Folks – Biden’sfavorite term – are voting with theircredit cards, and the results havebeen dreadful for the former vicepresident. In the most recent publicfilings, he had only $9 million onhand, far behind Sen. BernieSanders ($33.7 million) and Warren($25.7 million).

Biden’s polling lead is basedalmost entirely on one factor: thewidespread belief that he’s the bestbet to beat Trump. But “electability”is not translating into cash. That’swhy the Biden campaign recentlyreversed course and announced itwould welcome help from superPACs, largely unregulated entitiesthat can accept unlimited politicaldonations.

It was an embarrassing confes-sion of weakness. Only last month,

Biden spokesman T.J. Ducklodenounced the “dark – moneygroups helping Donald Trumpspread his outlandish lies and slan-der.” The Biden campaign, he smuglyassured voters, “has not and will notwelcome the help of super PACs.”

Biden’s lackluster fundraising isonly part of the reason for theswitch, however. The other is a criti-cal yet underappreciated factor:Trump’s enormous head start inraising money and assembling adatabase that can be used in nextyear’s campaign.

Biden adviser Kate Bedingfieldwas right in saying, “Donald Trumphas decided that the general elec-tion has already begun.” In fact,that campaign started the dayTrump was inaugurated. The presi-dent has assembled a war chest ofabout $150 million, and he’salready buying countless ads onFacebook and other social mediaplatforms, with much of his fireaimed at Biden. Without a superPAC bolstering his defenses, the for-mer vice president is battling mis-siles with muskets.

Trump’s reelection strategy isalready clear. He is not trying to winover any of those fans who booedhim at the ballpark. A recentEconomist poll reinforced howdeeply anti-Trump feeling runs, withstrong majorities saying he is not“honest and trustworthy,” exercises“mostly bad judgment” and doesn’tcare “about the needs and problems

of people like you.”What Trump is trying to do is

identify and energize every single cit-izen who already shares his world-view and make sure they vote. Andthat’s where his financial advantagecould be decisive.

Trump campaign manager BradParscale told “60 Minutes” that Face-book was the key to Trump’s victoryin 2016 and will be again, because itis the best platform for reaching allthose potential Trump votersthrough a torrent of highly targetedads.

With virtually unlimited funds,Team Trump can run thousands ofads every day, testing them constant-ly for effectiveness with differentwords, colors, pictures and mes-sages. “What can make peoplereact?” said Parscale. “What catchestheir attention? Remember, there’sso much noise on your phone ... oron your laptop. What is it thatmakes it go ‘poof’?”

Once their phone or laptop goes“poof,” once they react to the mes-sage and connect to the campaign,those voters are entered intoTrump’s database and constantlycourted and coddled until ElectionDay. The president won almost 63million votes in 2016, and Parscaleestimates he could have as many as50 million committed supporters inhis database next November, withemail addresses and phone numbersattached, ready to be activated.

The reaction to Trump at theWorld Series was undoubtedly real.But that’s not the whole story. TeamTrump has the money and experi-ence to maximize the turnout of hissupporters, the ones who weren’tbooing. And that’s why Biden isencouraging super PACs to help him.He has no choice, if he wants to win.

happens with Tuesday’selection.Even if voters do not

repeal the ordinance, theentire structure of any pos-sible marijuana businesswill be contingent upon thestate concluding relatedlicensing, which Bouvetteexpects will happen soon.The supervisor was

among three members ofthe Marenisco board thatvoted in favor of the ordi-nance on June 17. Hebelieves it will help to com-pensate for jobs lost whenthe state Department ofCorrections closed thetownship’s Ojibway Cor-rectional Facility at the endof last year.Township Clerk Donna

Kenney and Trustee DaveHagen also voted for theordinance.Treasurer Diane Dean,

who said she was “not formarijuana,” and trusteeKelly Dunbar voted againstit. Dunbar, who knew thattownship citizens wouldpetition to put the matteron the ballot, said thenthat he thought giving theissue a thumbs up mighttempt the state to requiremarijuana enterprise thereeven if citizens votedagainst it. Local officials

explained that, if too manylocal governments voteagainst marijuana enter-prise, the state might stepin and require some ofthem to accept it.Meanwhile, as indicated

in a May 13 public hearing,the residents of Marenisco

have an array of mixedopinions, with some ofthem fearing the marijuanabusiness will attract badcharacter and relatedcrime, while others see itas a new economic oppor-tunity.During the hearing,

Marenisco Township attor-ney Jim Bucknell, whowrote the ordinance, saidthat one advantage of mar-ijuana being legalized andcommercialized is that itthen will be subjected tostate-regulated testing,inspecting and rating.After the hearing, the

township board revised itsordinance draft to elimi-nate smokehouses on thegrounds that some peoplefeared they would be anenvironmental nuisance.Bouvette emphasized

this week that the town-ship ordinance has noth-ing to do with the legalityof recreational marijuanain itself. Michigan citizensalready voted in favor oflegalizing recreational mar-ijuana a year ago.The question for most

of the state’s towns andtownships ever since hasbeen whether to opt intoany possible profits in theway of growing the plant,manufacturing relatedproducts, and then sellingthem.Regarding that question

now pending in Marenisco,Bouvette said of the com-ing election, “I’m guessingthat we’ll probably get apretty good turnout.”Moreover, he concluded

that if younger voters showup to vote, it could meanthe difference in the ordi-nance standing strong.

AREA / STATETHE DAILY GLOBE • YOURDAILYGLOBE.COM FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2019 l 5Q&A: Whitmer signsbills to treat 17-year-olds asjuvenilesLANSING (AP) –

Democratic Michigan Gov.Gretchen Whitmer signedbipartisan legislationThursday to raise the ageat which offenders aretreated as adults in thecriminal justice systemfrom 17 to 18.The move was hailed

across the political spec-trum as long overdue andone that ensures 17-year-olds will receive rehabilita-tion services instead ofpotentially being lockedup with adults. State Attor-ney General Dana Nessel,a Democrat, called it a his-toric event.Some questions and

answers about the newlaws:

When will the lawstake effect?Octtober 2021.

Was Michigan an outli-er?Yes. Once “raise-the-

age” measures go intoeffect in Michigan and Mis-souri in 2021, there will beonly three states to stillautomatically consider 17-year-olds as adults in crim-inal cases: Texas, Georgiaand Wisconsin.

Why the change?Advocates say it is

unfair to charge 17-year-olds as adults when theycannot vote, serve on ajury, enter a legal contractor buy tobacco. It also isharmful, causing theoffenders lifelong barriersin housing, employmentand education, accordingto supporters of the billsthat won overwhelmingsupport in the Republican-led Legislature.

Wakefield to vote on charteramendments, library millage

By P.J. GLISSON [email protected]

WAKEFIELD — Wake-field citizens voting onTuesday will see three pro-posals on the ballot relat-ing to pending City Charteramendments, as well as amillage renewal for theWakefield Public Library.

Proposal 1 reads, “Shallthe city of Wakefield elimi-nate the Civil Servicemethod of selecting non-union and non-officeremployees by deleting thephrase ‘subject to the CivilService rules and regula-tions’ from both Section3.10(b) Functions andDuties of City Manager;and also from Section 4.12Employment and Removalof Personnel other thanOfficers; and by furtherdeleting 4.16 Civil Servicein its entirety?”

“Proposal 1 wouldinclude all city employeesexcept officials holdingelective offices, the citymanager, city attorney,technical consultantsunder contract, and mem-bers of boards and com-missions,” said City Man-ager Rob Brown in a recentemail. “There are 12employees affected by theCivil Service System. Theseare three office staff andnine bargaining unitemployees.”

Proposal 2 reads, “Shallthe city of Wakefield Char-ter provide for staggeredfour-year council memberterms instead of the cur-

rent two-year terms byreplacing the first sentenceof Section 5.4 with ‘Coun-cil member terms of officeshall be four years andstaggered? Transition tostaggered terms shall beaccomplished by the topthree vote-getters in thenext election (November,2021) receiving four-yearterms. The next two vote-getters shall receive two-year terms. At the followingelection (November, 2023),the top two vote-getters willreceive four-year terms.

The council approvedProposal 2 for the ballot inhopes of no longer being ina situation where the entirecouncil comes up for elec-tion at the same time.

Proposal 3 reads, “ShallSection 10.6(a)(2) be delet-ed and the first sentence ofSection 10.6(a)(1) beamended to consolidatemeetings of the Board ofReview into one sessionrather than two separatesessions, two weeksapart?”

According to Brown,“Proposal 3 would set theminimum amount of meet-ings at one. However, addi-tional meetings may becalled, as needed, underthe Open Meetings Act.” 

Finally, Wakefield vot-ers also will decidewhether to continue a mil-lage on the Wakefield Pub-lic Library.

That proposal reads,“Shall the city of Wakefieldbe authorized to renew the

previously voter-approvedadditional tax annually, inan amount not to exceed 1mil ($1 on each $1,000 oftaxable value), against alltaxable property within thecity of Wakefield for a peri-od of five years, 2020-2024, inclusive, for thepurpose of providing fundsfor all Wakefield PublicLibrary purposes autho-rized by law? The estimateof the revenue from thismillage in the 2020 calen-dar year is $25,000.”

Tuesday’s ballot alsoincludes the election of citycouncil members.

Brown said he’s lookingforward to the election andthe involvement of the pub-lic in the city’s future.

“As a Political Sciencemajor, elections are alwaysa special time for me. Theability of an individual tocast a vote for a candidateand effect change in theirgovernment is a powerfuland underutilized rightbestowed upon the Ameri-can people. Whether onthe national, state, or locallevel, witnessing the peace-ful transfer of power is ahumbling and sacred pro-cess,” he said.

“I hope every registeredvoter exercises their rightto vote this election andallows their valuable voiceto be heard. And, after theycast their vote, I hope theystop by the office and say,“hi.” I genuinely enjoy get-ting to know our residentsand hearing their stories.”

“Cut flowers generallylast five to seven days afterthe time they get to the con-sumer,” said Lisa MasonZiegler, a cut flower growerand operator of The Gar-dener’s Workshop, anonline flower farmingschool near NewportNews, Virginia. “Dahliasand sweet peas are morelike five days.

When selecting cutflowers, keep in mind thatiris, tulips, snapdragonsand daffodils have anextremely short vase life —less than a week. Orchids,carnations and chrysanthe-mums usually last twoweeks or more.

A clean vase is impor-tant, Ziegler said. “Put it ina dishwasher to removeany bacteria. Then cut 1 to2 inches off each stembefore putting them intothe vase. They’re probablyclogged but cutting willopen them up and they’llbe able to feed again,” shesays.

Conditioning needsvary, said John Dole, anassociate dean and floricul-ture specialist at NorthCarolina State University.Some varieties requiremore managing than oth-ers, but all cut flowersshould be fed.

“Use the flower foodpackets that most likelycame with the bouquet,”Dole said. “Mix according

to directions and positionthe flowers into the vase.After they’ve had their firstbig drink, take them out,put in fresh water and cutthe stems again.

“By doing that yourflowers will last longer andthe sugars in the flowerfood will enhance their col-ors — particularly the pur-ples,” he said.

By wary of homemadefloral preservatives, Dole

said.“We’ve tried a wide

mixture includingaspirin, pennies and vine-gar,” he said. “The onlyone that seems to haveany validity is a clear soda(like 7 — Up or Sprite)mixed 50 — 50 with water.It has to be the regularstuff with sugar.”

Additional tips forextending the vase life ofcut flowers:

—Give stems a nice flatcut if the flowers are goinginto a vase where the stemswill be resting against thebottom, Dole said. “Ifyou’re placing stems into afoam, a pointed cut will bebetter.”

—Remove any leavesbelow the water line.“They’ll decompose andeither get sucked up intothe stems or stimulate bac-teria growth,” Dole said.

NEW YORK (AP) –Stocks closed broadlylower on Wall Street Thurs-day after investors gotspooked by a publishedreport that cast doubt onthe prospects of a long-term U.S-China trade deal.

Bond prices surged,sending yields sharplylower, as traders turnedcautious. The sell-off was amarked shift from a dayearlier, when the S&P 500notched its second all-timehigh this week.

Despite the sell-off, thebenchmark index closedout October with its sec-ond straight monthly gainas an easing of trade ten-sions and surprisinglygood corporate earningsgave investors more confi-dence.

Industrial stocks ledthe selling Thursday aftera published report raisedconcerns about theprospects of a comprehen-sive trade deal betweenWashington and Beijing.That overshadowedremarks by PresidentDonald Trump, who tout-ed Thursday that bothsides are working on find-ing a location to sign“phase one” of the tradedeal.

“It’s mainly the con-cerns about whether therewill be some kind of tradedeal with China, both thefirst round and the biggeragreement that, obviously,appears further away,”said Kate Warne, chiefinvestment strategist atEdward Jones. “Whenthere’s good news on tradenegotiations, stocks tendto move up, and whenthere’s bad news or con-cerns, stocks tend to selloff.”

The S&P 500 index fell9.21 points, or 0.3%, to3,037.56. The benchmark

index is on track for itsfourth-straight weekly gainand is now up 21.2% thisyear.

The Dow Jones Industri-al Average dropped 140.46points, or 0.5%, to27,046.23. It had brieflyslumped 268 points.

The Nasdaq slid 11.62points, or 0.1%, to8,292.36. The Russell 2000index of smaller companystocks lost 10.40 points, or0.7%, to 1,562.45.

Major stock indexes inEurope finished lower.

The flood of companyearnings reports and atruce between the U.S. andChina as the nations workto finalize “phase one” of atrade deal largely putinvestors’ worries abouttrade on the backburnerthis month. But aBloomberg report Thurs-day helped put investors ina selling mood. The report,citing unnamed sources,suggested Chinese officialsare doubtful that they willbe able to reach a compre-hensive, long-term tradedeal with the U.S.

The world’s two biggesteconomies have wrangledfor more than 15 monthsover U.S. allegations thatChina steals technology,forces businesses to handover trade secrets andunfairly subsidizes its tech-nology companies in anaggressive drive to sup-plant American technologi-cal dominance.

They have imposed tar-iffs on hundreds of billionsof dollars’ worth of eachother’s goods in a tradefight that has slowed glob-al economic growth.

Negotiators from bothcountries are trying to set-tle details of the phase onedeal, which sidesteps someof the biggest issues divid-ing the countries.

Stable costs but moreuninsured as ‘Obamacare’sign — ups open

WASHINGTON (AP) – MoreAmericans are going without healthinsurance, and stable premiums plusgreater choice next year under theObama health law aren’t likely toreverse that.

As sign-up season starts on Friday,the Affordable Care Act has shown

remarkable resiliency, but it has alsofallen short of expectations. Evenmany Democrats want to move on.

President Donald Trump doesn’tconceal his disdain for “Obamacare”and keeps trying to dismantle theprogram.

During President Barack Obama’stenure, open enrollment involved anational campaign to get peoplesigned up. The program’s complexitywas always a problem, and many

lower-income people still don’tunderstand they can get financialhelp with premiums.

That can translate to several mil-lion uninsured people unaware theyqualify for help. An analysis Thurs-day from the consulting firm AvalereHealth found that low-income resi-dents in 96% of counties served byHealthCare.gov can find a basic“bronze” plan at no cost to them, fac-toring in subsidies.

MERCER, Wis. – Thiswasn’t the Washburn thatMercer swept in the Indian-head Conference season.Heck, it wasn’t the Wash-burn team that sixth-seedDrummond almost upsetfive days ago.The second-seeded and

much improved CastleGuards upset top-seed Mer-cer 3-1 in front of an elec-tric crowd Thursday nightin a WIAA Division 4 sec-tional semifinal. The Tigerseven won the first game 25-21, but they dropped thenext three, 25-20, 25-19,25-16.It’s been a great four-

year run for the Tigers, arun that has included fourregional championshipsand a trip to the sectionalfinal. They wanted to capthat run by beating Wash-burn to get to another sec-tional final.“There’s just some

things that aren’t meant tobe, it wasn’t in the cardstonight,” Mercer coachRobyn Schoeneman said.“They played tough, andtonight, we just weren’t on.This was not our bestmatch by any means. Iknow it stings now and it’sgoing to sting for awhile,but there’s so much to bethankful for, there’s somuch good that has hap-pened with this group.”Mercer always seemed

to be playing defenseThursday night, constantlyforced to respond to Wash-burn’s strong offensiveattack, led by an athleticgroup of juniors. “We were always on the

defense tonight,” Schoene-man said. “We just couldn’tget any offense going. Theywere the better teamtonight. I was really, really

hoping to get past them atthis level.”The night started right

for Mercer. The first gamewas tight all the way to theend. It was tied as late as17-17 before Mercer pulledahead late and eventuallywon on one of 19 kills bypowerful senior hitterAubrey Schoeneman.

But even then, Mercer’scelebrations after pointsseemed more like reliefthan the joy Washburnshowed in similar situa-tions.“We were just really

super uptight, we were justnot really ourselves, a lot ofuncharacteristic errors,”coach Schoeneman said.

“We were prepared, wepracticed hard, we workedhard. That was for no rea-son than they just playedbetter.”The second game

proved to be big. It wasonce again tied at 17 andeven 18 this time after theteams traded the lead earli-er in the game. But this

time it was Washburn withthe late run, outscoringMercer 7-2, to tie the matchat 1 instead of letting Mer-cer take a commandinglead into the third set thatmaybe would have freedthem up.Washburn took an early

advantage in the thirdgame and withstood a Mer-

cer run midway through totake over the lead 2-1. TheGuards then scored thefirst five points of the thirdgame and Mercer couldnever make a serious run atstopping their momentum.They tried to make a laterun, but it was just too lateand the deficit too steep.“They went down

swinging, and they didn’tgive up,” Schoeneman said.“That’s what we taughtthem all along – just keepfighting and they did. Wejust fell a little short.”It was the last game for a

talented senior class –Schoeneman, setter EllaTorkelson, Zoe Botes, Jessi-ca Klopatek and HaleyAllen.“I think all of the

seniors really fought hard,”Schoeneman said. “I’mgrateful for the journey(the team has) taken meon, they’re a great group ofkids. I can never ever takethat stuff away from them.I’m proud of them.”Washburn came in as

the underdog and still hadconfidence despite havingto come to Mercer for thegame. Sometimes there’sless pressure that way.“We said we were going

to give it our all and havenothing to lose tonight andhere we go Saturday,”Washburn coach LinseyAbel said. She was referring to Sat-

urday night’s sectionalfinal at Chippewa FallsMcDonell Central wherethey’ll face Clear Lake for achance at going to state. It took a great effort to

beat Mercer and they’llneed it again Saturdaynight.“Our middles were real-

WASHINGTON (AP) – Insome ways, this World Serieschampionship serves as an "I toldyou so" for the WashingtonNationals and their general man-ager, Mike Rizzo.For the choices to hire, then

stick by, manager Dave Martinez,especially in the face of a 19-31record, the worst 50-game start toa season in baseball history foran eventual title winner.For making midseason pick-

ups of veterans discarded byother teams, such as Gerardo"Baby Shark" Parra, and assem-bling, in this "Let the Kids Play"era, a group of "Viejos" such asplayoff star Howie Kendrick, toform the oldest roster in themajors.For caring about chemistry as

much as what's quantifiable.For the much-debated deci-

sion to shut down Stephen Stras-burg all those years ago, a movemeant to protect the surgicallyrepaired right elbow that just

made Strasburg a World SeriesMVP and the first pitcher to end apostseason with a 5-0 record.For the philosophy of valuing

old-fashioned starting pitchingabove all else: Each of Washing-ton's four wins in the Fall Classiccame after sending to the moundStrasburg or Max Scherzer,whose "back from the dead" – inteammate Adam Eaton's phrasing– return from a nerve problemnear his neck got things going ina 6-2 victory in Game 7 at Hous-ton on Wednesday night."Mike's a baseball guy. He

always has been," first basemanRyan Zimmerman said. "He leanson his scouts, on his guys that gowatch games. He's evolved, justlike everyone else has, with theanalytics and all the data that'savailable. That information isuseful. I don't think you have tobe one way or the other. I thinkyou can kind of blend it together.And I think he does a really goodjob of that.

"But he's huge on chemistryand clubhouse stuff, not bringingin bad teammates, not bringingin bad guys. Before he makes,really, any sorts of moves, he willreach out to us and ask if we'veheard anything about this playeror that player."Now as the offseason officially

begins, Rizzo must get back towork.Strasburg could opt out of his

contract. Anthony Rendon, whohomered in the last two games ofthe Series, can become a freeagent. The bullpen, so bad for solong in the regular season butjust fine as a condensed unit inthe postseason, must be rebuilt.Zimmerman, the 35-year-old

"face of the franchise," has beenaround for all 15 of the Nationals'seasons, but might not get a 16th.He was there for the pair of

100-loss seasons that led to a pairof No. 1 overall picks, one ofwhich turned into Strasburg.(The other? A certain now-gone

outfielder by the name of BryceHarper.) And now he's seen theNationals deliver Washington'sfirst World Series trophy sincethe Senators won 95 years ago.A parade along Constitution

Avenue is planned for Saturday."The organization deserves

credit for the way they put thisteam together. It's a bunch of oldguys in here that they trusted.There's not a lot of teams thatwere willing to put together a ros-ter like ours," reliever SeanDoolittle said. "There's a bunch ofguys over 30 years old and,according to the smartest peoplein the room, you can't win gameslike that anymore. You needyoung, athletic, controllable tal-ent. We're really proud that we'rethe oldest team in baseball andwe just won the World Series."Maybe that helped young slug-

ger Juan Soto and Co. figure out away to follow Martinez's "just go1-0 today" motto and never getworried when things looked

bleak.Whether it was that terrible

beginning to the season or deficitafter deficit in must-win games –from the NL wild-card victoryover the Milwaukee Brewers tothe 4-for-4 success on the roadagainst 107-win Houston –Washington heeded their skip-per's orders to "stay in the fight."No team ever had won more

than three elimination gamesafter trailing in each during a sin-gle postseason. The 2019 Nation-als, built by Rizzo and poweredby an everyone-chips-in ethos,did it five times.That included erasing Hous-

ton's leads of 2-1 in Game 6 of theWorld Series, then 2-0 in Game 7."It's almost like we've done it

so many times that we have to getpunched in the face to kind ofwake up," Strasburg said. "Wedon't quit. We never quitthroughout the season, despitekind of everybody saying that wewere done."

Nationals, GM Rizzo earn 'I told you so' World Series title

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) – Michi-gan State linebacker Joe Bachie wasdeclared ineligible Thursday by the BigTen after testing positive for a banned sup-plement.The school said it will appeal. Bachie, a

senior with 36 tackles and with 3 ½ sacks,made the second team on the AP's list ofmidseason All-Americans.Michigan State's announcement did not

identify the supplement Bachie tested pos-itive for, saying only that it "is classified asa performance-enhancing substancebanned by the league.""All my career I've done my very best to

represent Michigan State in a positivemanner on and off the field," Bachie saidin a statement. "I plan to appeal, but to allof those affected, from my coaches to myteammates and to the fans, I apologize forputting them through this situation. I willalways be a Spartan."Michigan State has an open date this

week. The Spartans host Illinois on Nov. 9.The news about Bachie is another blow

during a dismal stretch for Michigan State.The Spartans have lost three straight

games by a combined score of 100-17 toOhio State, Wisconsin and Penn State.Michigan State has also had several play-ers enter the transfer portal in the middleof the season.The defense has still been a bright spot

at times, with Bachie a big part of that. Heled the team in tackles as a sophomoreand a junior, and this is his second seasonas a captain."Joe Bachie has built himself into an All-

Big Ten middle linebacker and two-timeteam captain through his incredible workethic and leadership skills. This situationbreaks my heart, but I know Joe is resilientand accountable," coach Mark Dantoniosaid. "No one feels worse than Joe does, asentiment he expressed when he spoke tothe team earlier today. This does notdefine Joe as a player, and more impor-tantly, as a man. He will graduate inDecember and has a very bright futureahead of him, both on and off the field."As a program, we plan to appeal imme-

diately, and will continue to support Joehowever we can. He will forever be a Spar-tan."

Michigan St's Bachie declaredineligible after positive testMichigan State's Kithier to

play Kentucky with brokennose

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — MichiganState forward Thomas Kithier has a brokennose that is not expected to keep him out ofthe season-opening game.

Kithier was injured by an inadvertentelbow at practice. He has been cleared topractice and play in games.

The top-ranked Spartans face No. 2 Ken-tucky on Tuesday in New York. Kithier is acandidate to start at forward. The 6-foot-8sophomore averaged 1.6 points and 1.3rebounds while he was used sparingly in 31games last season.

Garoppolo throws 4 TD passes, 49ers beat Cardinals =GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Jimmy Garoppolo threw for 317 yards and four touchdowns

and the San Francisco 49ers reached the halfway point of their season undefeated, beat-ing the Arizona Cardinals 28-25 on Thursday night.San Francisco (8-0) fell behind 7-0, but responded with three touchdowns – one as

time expired in the second quarter after Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury called a time-out and gave the 49ers a second chance on fourth down – to take a 21-7 halftime lead.The 49ers were in control until about five minutes left in the fourth quarter, when

Andy Isabella caught a short pass and sprinted for an 88-yard touchdown to help theCardinals pull to 28-25.But the 49ers were able to run out the clock on their ensuing offensive drive to end

Arizona's comeback. San Francisco's Emmanuel Sanders caught seven passes for 112yards and a touchdown.Arizona (3-5-1) lost its second straight game. Rookie quarterback Kyler Murray threw

for 241 yards and two touchdowns.The Cardinals came into the game without their top two running backs, David John-

son and Chase Edmonds, who were battling injuries.Kenyan Drake – who was acquired by the Cardinals on Monday in a trade with the

Miami Dolphins – ran for 36s yard on the first play of the game and capped the open-ing drive with a 4-yard touchdown run. He finished with a team-high 110 yards rushingand 52 yards receiving.

TODAY’S HOROSCOPE

Dear Annie: I always enjoy sharing mybaked goods and also my soups with myneighbors. Some will return the favor bymaking items for me. I never expect themto reciprocate, though I know I always tryto reciprocate when people do things forme.

I’m writing to you because now some-one is giving me presents that I really don’twant. I am always thankful, but I do notlike any of the items. I know I need to bethankful. But I do not like to lie, and Iwould rather have just a thanks for mybaked goods and soups instead of thank –you gifts that I do not like at all!

Normally, I would just donate the itemsto a church, but I am too afraid that thisfriend will be looking for me to use theitems. And, of course, I do not want to hurther feelings. What is your suggestion? –You Shouldn’t Have

Dear You Shouldn’t Have: “The truepurpose of a gift is to be received,” writesminimalist expert Marie Kondo in herbestselling “The Life – Changing Magic ofTidying Up,” and I couldn’t agree more.When someone gives you an unwantedgift, receive it gratefully; recognize thewarm – hearted intention behind it; andwrite them a thank – you note. Thendonate it (or return it, if they’ve included agift receipt) without guilt. If you want tohead off future unwanted gifts from thisfriend, simply tell her: “I appreciate yourthoughtfulness, but you really do not needto get me anything. Your friendship isenough.” If she’s been spending money onthe items she’s giving you, and if sheseems determined to continue doing so,you might politely tell her that you havemore than enough material things but thatyou’d love to see more donations to a char-ity you support.

Dear Annie: This is in response to thelady who complained about how peoplehold their fork and knife. Your responsewas very true. I have rheumatoid arthritis,and as my hands have gotten worse, hold-ing things is a real challenge. I used to peel

potatoes in a few minutes, but it now takesmany times as long. I also park in a hand-icapped spot. Some days, I can move fairlyeasily; other days, it is a challenge to justget out of my car. I have other friends withosteoarthritis, multiple sclerosis andParkinson’s disease who have similarproblems.

I learned long ago not to judge byappearance. Thank you for explaining thatthings aren’t always what they seem. –Mary W.

Dear Mary W.: I’m sorry that you’restruggling with rheumatoid arthritis. I’mhappy to print your letter to again amplifythe message that others’ suffering and lim-itations are not always readily apparent.

Dear Annie: Your advice to “LeftBehind” would be poor advice in somestates. As a Washington state lawyer, I cantell you that Washington has what is calleda “committed intimate relationship,” inwhich unmarried partners may have com-munity property like rights in each other’sproperty. Also some states have common– law marriage.

“Left Behind” should consult a lawyerwith a family law practice in her state tofind out if she has any rights. – RegularReader in Vancouver, Washington

Dear Regular Reader: I’m embarrassedto say that I failed to get the complete pic-ture when researching my answer. I’mprinting your note to correct the record for“Left Behind” and anyone else in hershoes. Contacting a lawyer is the best bet.Thanks for writing and setting me straight.

Send your questions for Annie Lane [email protected].

Gifts not needed for thank you

Dear Doctor: I heard about aguy who tested as drunk buthadn't had any alcohol. Is thatreally even possible, or is itsome kind of urban legend?Dear Reader: It certainlysounds like the product of anoveractive imagination, but thescenario you're referring to didhappen. According to news re-ports, a young Chinese manwho had moved to Australia toattend college suddenlystarted getting drunk. Thecatch was that he swore hehadn't imbibed any alcohol.Upon returning home to China,the breathalyzer tests he tookduring subsequent episodesshowed a blood alcohol levelup to 10 times the legal limit. In 2014, he became gravely illand was admitted to the hospi-tal, 10 years after the onset ofthe mysterious episodes. He

was diagnosed with fatty liverdisease, in which a buildup offat in the liver causes inflam-mation that leads to organdamage. The condition is com-mon in people with chronic al-cohol abuse, which outstripsthe liver's ability to manageand clear the resulting toxinsfrom the body.The Chinese man was eventu-ally diagnosed with auto-brew-ery syndrome, a rare conditionin which the carbohydratesthat a person eats or drinksare fermented in the gut andturn into ethanol, also knownas grain alcohol. As it turnsout, the young man wasn'tdrinking alcohol, but he wasdrinking a lot of fruit juice andeating carbohydrate-richfoods, thus giving the roguemicrobrewery in his gut plentyof raw material to work with.

While this case is interestingon its own, it also holds prom-ise for people with nonalco-holic fatty liver disease, orNAFLD. As the name sug-gests, this is a type of fatty liverdisease that occurs in the ab-sence of heavy alcohol use. InNAFLD, inflammation and celldamage can be severeenough to result in fibrosis andscarring, and can even lead tocirrhosis or liver cancer. Thecause of NAFLD isn't known.But recent studies have foundthat the guts of people withNAFLD were far more likely tocontain certain alcohol-produc-ing bacteria than the guts ofhealthy individuals. This notonly opens new avenues of re-search, but also offers hope foran eventual cure.

WASHINGTON (AP) –Democrats swept a rulespackage for their impeach-ment probe of PresidentDonald Trump through adivided House Thursday,as the chamber’s first voteon the investigation high-lighted the partisan breachthe issue has only deep-ened.By 232-196, lawmakers

approved the proceduresthey’ll follow as weeks ofclosed-door interviewswith witnesses evolve intopublic committee hearingsand – almost certainly –votes on whether theHouse should recommendTrump’s removal.All voting Republicans

opposed the package.Every voting Democrat buttwo supported it.Underscoring the pres-

sure Trump has heaped onhis party’s lawmakers, hetweeted, “Now is the timefor Republicans to standtogether and defend theleader of their party againstthese smears.”Yet the roll call also

accentuated howDemocrats have ralliedbehind the impeachmentinquiry after House Speak-er Nancy Pelosi spentmonths urging cautionuntil evidence and publicsupport had grown.She and other Demo-

cratic leaders had feared apremature vote wouldwound the reelectionprospects of dozens oftheir members, including

freshmen and lawmakersfrom Trump-won districtsor seats held previously byRepublicans. But recentpolls have shown voters’growing receptivity to theinvestigation and, to a less-er degree, ousting Trump.That and evidence that

House investigators haveamassed have helped unifyDemocrats, includingthose from GOP areas. Rep.Cindy Axne, D-Iowa, saidshe was supporting a path-way to giving “the Ameri-can people the facts theydeserve,” while Rep. AndyKim, D-N.J., said voterswarrant “the uninhibitedtruth.”Yet Republicans were

also buoyed by polling,which has shown that GOPvoters stand unflinchinglybehind Trump.“The impeachment-

obsessed Democrats justflushed their majoritydown the toilet,” saidMichael McAdams, aspokesman for HouseRepublicans’ campaignarm.Elsewhere at the Capitol

on Thursday, three Housepanels led by the Intelli-gence Committee ques-tioned their latest witnessinto the allegations that ledto the impeachmentinquiry: that Trump pres-sured Ukraine to producedirt on his Democraticpolitical rivals by withhold-ing military aid and anOval Office meeting cravedby the country’s new presi-

dent.Tim Morrison, who

stepped down from theNational Security Councilthe day before his appear-ance, testified – stillbehind closed doors – thathe saw nothing illegal inTrump’s phone call withthe Ukrainian presidentthat is at the center of theDemocrat-led investiga-tion.Yet, Morrison also large-

ly confirmed much of whatWilliam Taylor, the high-est-ranking U.S. official inUkraine, said in earlier,highly critical testimonyabout the call, which Tay-lor said he and Morrisondiscussed several times.The Democrats are still

waiting to hear if Morri-son’s one-time boss, John

Bolton, will testify. Theyhave subpoenaed formernational security adviserBolton, who quit theadministration after dis-agreements with Trumpover his handling ofUkraine.In the House inquiry

vote, the only Democratic“no” votes were by Reps.Jeff Van Drew, a New Jer-sey freshman, and veteranCollin Peterson of Min-nesota, one of the House’smost conservativeDemocrats. Both are bat-tling for reelection inRepublican-leaning dis-tricts.Also supporting the

rules was independentRep. Justin Amash ofMichigan, who left theGOP this year after

announcing he was open toconsidering Trump’simpeachment.Thursday’s House

debate was laced with high-minded appeals to defendthe Constitution andCongress’ independence,as well as partisan taunts.“What are we fighting

for? Defending our democ-racy,” said Pelosi. Sheaddressed lawmakers witha poster of the Americanflag beside her and openedher comments by readingfrom the preamble to theConstitution.She also said the rules

would let lawmakersdecide whether to impeachTrump “based on the truth.I don’t know why theRepublicans are afraid ofthe truth.”

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)– Twitter’s ban on politicaladvertising is ratcheting uppressure on Facebook andMark Zuckerberg to followsuit. But so far, that doesn’tappear likely to happen.Facebook’s policy is to

accept paid political adsfrom candidates withoutfact-checking them or cen-soring them, even if theycontain lies.And Zuckerberg dou-

bled down on that standWednesday following Twit-ter’s announcement, reiter-ating that “political speechis important” and thatFacebook is loath to inter-fere with it.Twitter, Facebook and

other social media siteshave come under fire overRussia’s use of such plat-forms to spread misinfor-mation and sow politicaldivision in the U.S. during

the 2016 presidential cam-paign. That debate hasheated up again in recentweeks along with the2020 race for the WhiteHouse.Twitter chose to

respond with a ban on allpolitical advertising, sug-gesting that social media isso powerful that false ormisleading messages posea risk to democracy.The timing of the

announcement, the sameday as Facebook’s quarter-ly earnings report, seemeddesigned to goad Zucker-berg.“The pressure is going

to be extremely strong onFacebook to do somethingsimilar, and if they don’t,the criticism of Facebookwill only increase,” saidTim Bajarin, president ofconsultancy CreativeStrategies.

In fact, some of theDemocratic presidentialcandidates immediatelysuggested Facebook followTwitter’s lead.Montana Gov. Steve Bul-

lock tweeted: “Good. Yourturn, Facebook.” And PeteButtigieg said, “I thinkother online platformswould do well to eitheraccept their responsibilityfor truth or questionwhether they should be inthe business at all.”But Zuckerberg stood

firm.“This is complex stuff.

Anyone who says theanswer is simple hasn’tthought about the nuancesand downstream chal-lenges,” the Facebook CEOsaid. “I don’t think anyonecan say that we are notdoing what we believe orwe haven’t thought hardabout these issues.”

Last call: Utah is set to tap out on low-alcohol beer salesSALT LAKE CITY (AP)

– The first change to beeralcohol limits since the endof Prohibition nearly a cen-tury ago is coming to Utah.The state will become

the next-to-last in the coun-try to say goodbye to lower-alcohol 3.2% beer on Fri-day, when drinkers wel-come new, slightly strongerbrews to grocery stores, gasstations and bars.Lawmakers have raised

the limits to a still-low 4%by weight, yielding as largebreweries decided to stopmaking lower-alcohol sudsfor a market that’s shrink-ing amid changing laws.The change leaves Min-nesota as the last state to

have 3.2% beer.Almost the entire coun-

try once had similar limits,said Maureen Ogle, authorof “Ambitious Brew: A His-tory of American Beer.” Itwas set by Congress toallow lighter brews to bemade before the formalend of Prohibition in 1933.“Frankly, it’s a very arbi-

trary number,” she said.Still, most states used it

as a guide as they madetheir own laws. That start-ed to change in the 1980swith the beginnings of thecraft beer movement andgained steam after the year2000. The last few domi-nos fell with Oklahoma,Colorado and Kansas mak-

ing the switch in recentyears.In the last remaining

holdout, MinnesotaRepublican Sen. KarinHousley said she would“aggressively pursue legis-lation to modernize ourstate’s antiquated liquorlaws” during the next leg-islative session.In Utah, the state’s pre-

dominant religious faith,The Church of JesusChrist of Latter-day Saints,teaches abstinence fromalcohol and strict liquorlaws continue to holdsway. Last year, lawmakerspassed the lowest DUIthreshold in the country at.05%.

CHICAGO (AP) –Chicago teachers and thenation’s third-largestschool district reached alabor contract deal onThursday, ending a strikethat canceled 11 days ofclasses for more than300,000 students.Mayor Lori Lightfoot

announced that the districthad reached a deal with theChicago Teachers Unionafter months of unsuccess-ful negotiations led to thecity’s first significant walk-out by educators since2012. The union’s 25,000members went on strikeOct. 17, holding marchesand rallies across the city.Chicago Teachers

Union delegates voted lateWednesday to approve atentative deal that includespay raises over five years,but they initially refused toend the strike unless themayor added school daysto cover the lost time.The union said Light-

foot had agreed to make upfive days of lost time. Theschool district said classeswill resume Friday.Throughout the strike,

Chicago Public Schoolskept schools open, promis-ing parents that their kidswould have a safe place togo and receive meals. Cityparks, libraries and com-munity groups also openedtheir doors to kids whose

parents didn’t want to leavethem home alone but wereuncomfortable usingschools being picketed byeducators.Families across the city

breathed a sigh of relief asthey heard the news.“It is over finally, thank

God,” said DominiqueDukes, who has two chil-dren, ages 7 and 14. “Theydid miss out on their edu-cation. It was the worstexperience ever. Hopefullyit doesn’t happen again.”Dukes, 33, said she

printed off grade schoolworksheets at the library tokeep her children occu-pied. Dukes works earlymornings at a warehouseand her boyfriend worksnights; they took turnswatching the children.Teachers said the strike

was based on a “social jus-tice” agenda and aimed toincrease resources, includ-ing nurses and social work-ers for students, andreduce class sizes, whichteachers say currentlyexceed 30 or 40 students insome schools. Union lead-ers said the strike forcedthe city to negotiate onissues they initiallydeemed out of bounds,including support forhomeless students.Lightfoot said a strike

was unnecessary anddubbed the city’s offer of a

16% raise for teachers overa five-year contract andother commitments oneducators’ priorities “his-toric.”The Chicago strike was

another test of efforts byteachers’ unions to use con-tract talks typically focusedon salaries and benefitsand force sweeping conver-sations about broader prob-lems that affect schools inlarge, politically left-leaningcities, including affordablehousing, added protectionsfor immigrants and the sizeof classes.The agreement

approved on Wednesdaywas not immediatelyreleased but Sharkey saidsome of teachers’ winscould “transform” schoolsin the district. The fullunion membership stillmust hold a final vote onthe agreement.Broad outlines include a

16% raise for teachers dur-ing the five-year contract, anew committee to investi-gate and enforce classroomsizes that surpass limits inthe agreement and fundingto add social workers andnurses to the city’s schools.Lightfoot said at the

start of the strike that shewould not restore any lostdays and stuck to that posi-tion late Wednesday inresponse to the union’sdemands.

Pressure is now on Facebook to ban political ads, too

WASHINGTON (AP) – The explosiveallegations have been largely corroborat-ed. The whistleblower’s identity is legallyprotected. But conservative allies of Presi-dent Donald Trump are trying to unmaskthe intelligence community official whosecomplaint served as the catalyst for theDemocrat-led impeachment probe.The CIA official’s identity has been

cloaked in secrecy since the Septemberrevelation of the whistleblower complaintthat raised alarms about the president’scall with Ukrainian President VolodymyrZelenskiy. In the July 25 call, Trumppressed the new leader of the easternEuropean country to investigate Trump’spolitical rivals.The whistleblower’s secondhand

account of the call provided a roadmap forHouse Democrats investigating whether

the president and others in his orbit pres-sured Ukraine to probe political oppo-nents, including former Vice President JoeBiden. Now the Washington guessinggame over the whistleblower’s identity istaking a more perilous turn as Trumpallies, relying on scant biographicaldetails, work to pierce the person’sanonymity in a bid to defend the presi-dent.Congressional Republicans on Thurs-

day seized on conservative media reportsthat purported to identify the whistle-blower.“If the reports about the whistleblow-

er’s identity are true, it raises grave, fun-damental concerns about the basis of thisUkraine investigation,” tweeted Republi-can Rep. Mark Meadows of North Caroli-na.
