Beneficial Career
Bob Stevenson
graduated from the
University of Michigan Law School in
1976, the year the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act — a.k.a.
ERISA — became
effective. He and the
new act went on to
spend many years
together and ERISA
has played a major
Bob
role in his career
Stevenson
success.
Stevenson’s first
job was at Hill, Lewis (now Clark Hill) in
Detroit, a firm with a substantial benefits practice.
“I worked with Elliott Phillips, who had done
benefits law for over 20 years, but had never
worked with an associate,” he says. “We learned
ERISA together, and became close friends — he
is among the greatest mentors in my life.”
In 1987, Stevenson and his legal assistant
Linda Knowles founded Stevenson Keppelman
Associates (SKA) in Ann Arbor, one of the
nation's f irst “ERISA boutiques.” The f irm,
which grew by the periodic addition of wellexperienced benefits practitioners, joined Butzel
Long on September 1; Stevenson and his colleagues now work in the firm’s office on East
Liberty in Ann Arbor.
In 39 years of benefits specialization, Stevenson has handled virtually every kind of benefit
law issue for employers large and small.
“In benefits law, we revel in avoiding ‘cases,’”
he says. “We strive for perfection in advance.
That aspect of pension law is perhaps appealing
to Type-A perfectionists.
“That said, at SKA we designed and drafted
among the first cash balance pension plans and
some innovative retiree medical programs. We
also litigated precedent-setting cases involving
early retirement window design decisions,
involving when in the process soon-to-retire
employees should be advised of soon-to-come
incentives for retiring.”
A charter fellow of the prestigious American
College of Employee Benef its Counsel
(ACEBC), Stevenson has been named to every
edition of The Best Lawyers in America and was
named Best Lawyers' 2013 Ann Arbor Employee
Benefits (ERISA) Law “Lawyer of the Year.”
Chambers USA has consistently included him
among a few Michigan Lawyers gaining the
highest ranking in benefits law.
His prestigious career got its start with graduation from Osborn High School in Detroit, after
which Stevenson earned his undergrad degree in
English from Michigan State University, where
he earned three Varsity letters for lacrosse, was
recognized as MSU’s highest-GPA varsity athlete, and met his future wife, Sharon Buslepp.
While coaching varsity lacrosse at MSU, he
followed the example of his friends and took the
LSAT. Although earning admittance to the U-M
Law School, Stevenson decided to continue
coaching.
“Then U-M added a scholarship and I decided
it was time to read the handwriting, take ‘yes’ for

Having a ‘Ball’
OMC to mark milestone of ‘25 years of Resolution’
BY LINDA LADERMAN
Legal News
More than three decades have passed since two task forces, one
appointed by Michigan lawmakers, and the other by the State Bar of
Michigan, undertook an effort to explore options to traditional judicial
processes.
Both task forces discovered that a large sector of Michigan’s residents
were dissatisfied with a legal system that was too costly and courts that
were too slow to hear their cases.
The Oakland Mediation Center (OMC) was established as result of
those findings.
“Our citizens wanted more alternatives to the legal status quo,” said
Bonnie Hanes, executive director of OMC. “So, in 1990, based on recommendations from both groups, the Oakland Mediation Center (OMC)
was founded.”
Twenty-five years later, OMC is making a significant difference in
how civil conflicts are adjudicated.
To celebrate that success, OMC will honor six community leaders for
their dedication to the center at “25 years of Resolution,” a Masquerade
Ball, October 30 at 6 p.m. at the Lafayette Grand in Pontiac.
OMC will recognize Marilyn Flam, a former educator and volunteer
mediator; Judge Joseph Longo, of the 43rd District Court in Ferndale;
Elizabeth Pezzetti, chief judge of the Oakland County Probate Court;
Julie Nicholson, chief judge of Rochester’s 52nd District Court; Julie
McDaniel of Oakland County Schools; and Stephen Cooper, former
chief judge of the 46th District Court.
“There is a common thread that connects all of our honorees. All of
them really believe in the mediation process. They know our programs
abide by best practices,” Hanes said.
“With this event we are celebrating the future and our dedication to

be of more service to the community before potential litigants seek to
sue,” Hanes said.
Along with her staff and members of the mediation community,
Hanes has pioneered programs that reach out to a diverse population.
“We only have six people on staff, but they are on full throttle all of
the time,” Hanes said.
OMC has conducted mediation trainings for students and teachers at
370 Oakland County schools.
“We are very pleased that we can offer schools an array of recognized
and sustainable programs to address school to prison pipeline issues like
bullying and truancy,” Hanes said.
“The center is very involved in resolving social conflicts among students in grades K-12, through programs like Peers Making Peace,”
Hanes said. “We teach them to ask what do you need to do to feel better
about yourself? It is amazing to see the kids act as mediators.”
The Olweus Bullying Prevention program tackles school bullying
through intervention. The program has reduced the number of bullying
reports by 20-50 percent, Hanes noted.
Truancy Prevention through Mediation is another OMC initiative.
”OMC works to keep kids in school,” Hanes said. “If an elementary
school age child is out of school more than two days a month they are
likely to be future drop-outs. We want to keep these kids engaged so they
don’t become part of the juvenile justice system.”
Hanes has been at OMC for 16 years, and executive director for 10.
But time has not dampened her enthusiasm about the benefits of mediation.
“Mediation is so powerful. I see families who won’t speak to each
other at the beginning of a mediation, then three hours later they are
walking out together and planning the next family dinner,“ Hanes said.
From 1992 until 2015, OMC has trained more than 1,000 mediators,

The Michigan Supreme Court will convene to hear oral arguments
in 11 cases scheduled for October 13-15. The Court will hear the first
case at 9:30 am, October 13, in the old Supreme Court courtroom on
the third floor of the State Capitol.
The other 10 cases will be argued in the Supreme Court courtroom
on the sixth floor of the Hall of Justice, 925 W. Ottawa Street, Lansing.
The Michigan Supreme Court broadcasts its oral arguments and
other hearings live on the Internet via streaming video technology.
Watch the stream live only while the Court is in session and on the
bench. Streaming will begin shortly before the hearing starts; audio
will be muted until the Court takes the bench.
Michigan Attorney General
Schuette shares lessons in book
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette
is sharing lessons he has learned throughout his career and personal life
in a new book.
“Big Lessons from a Small Town” focuses on his hometown of Midland and people who have influenced his life, including football coaches, politicians and family. The Detroit Free Press reports that the
Republican says he “learned a lot about leadership and service and I
wanted to share that.”
Some of those lessons include hand writing your own thank you
notes, not giving up after defeats, making your own phone calls and
taking more time for family. Schuette links those lessons to moments in
his life, including political ones such as winning a congressional seat to
a failed run for U.S. Senate.
Law firm dedicates portion of
October billings to National
Breast Cancer Foundation
Intellectual property and technology law firm Brooks Kushman will
participate in the fight against breast cancer by contributing a percentage of all professional billings in October to National Breast Cancer
Foundation, Inc. Additionally, to help raise awareness among the legal
community of the breast cancer health crisis and promote support of
NBCF, Brooks Kushman will be using pink versions of its logo on its
website and in other applications throughout the month to provide a
visual reminder of the need for broad support of breast cancer detection, treatment, support and research initiatives.
“We all have people in our lives who have fought the battle against
breast cancer; whether it’s spouses, family members, friends, coworkers
or others,” said Mark Cantor, president of Brooks Kushman. “With one
in eight women in America being diagnosed with breast cancer at some
point in their lives, this is a personal cause for all of us and it’s one we
are proud to take on together as a firm.”
Executive Director of the OMC for the past
10 years, Bonnie Hanes said the Oakland
Mediation Center has trained more than
1,000 mediators since 1992.

IRIS TILLEY, THE DAILY RECORD NEWSWIRE
Answers to important
ACA questions
On Sept. 17, about two
months after most employers
would have liked to have seen
final guidance, the Internal Revenue Service released f inal
Affordable Care Act reporting
forms and instructions for 2015.
Applicable large employers and
insurers will use these forms and
instructions to complete mandatory reporting in early 2016 for
offers of coverage and coverage
in the 2015 calendar year. As a
reminder, these forms will be
used to enforce the individual
mandate and employer penalties
as well as crack down on individuals who may have received
subsidies for which they were
not eligible.
While many of the reporting
details are better left to a personal conversation, here is a summary of key details that employers will find most relevant.
Who distributes and files
what?
As background, employers
with an average of 50 or more
full-time equivalent employees
in 2014 will distribute Forms
1095-C to all employees who
worked on a full-time basis for
at least one month in 2015.
(Employees were not eligible for
coverage due to a waiting period
or measurement period fall
under a special rule.) These
forms are due to employees on
or before Feb. 1, 2016. Insurers
and small employers with selfinsured health plans distribute
Forms 1095-B to covered individuals on the same schedule.
Employers f ile both Forms
1095-C and a transmittal form,
Form 1094-C, with the IRS.
Insurers and smaller employers
with self-insured plans do the
same with Forms 1094-B and
1095-B.
I was prepared for reporting; now what?
Employers who were prepared are in large part still prepared. The final forms are substantively identical to the draft
forms, and the instructions are in
large part unchanged.
What do the final instructions do with HRA reporting?
Prior to the final instructions,
the IRS’ guidance indicated that
employers offering health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs)
that are integrated into a medical
plan would be required to file
two sets of forms – one for the
main medical plan and one for
the HRA. These employers can
breathe a collective sigh of relief
because the final forms correct
this ambiguity in employers’
favors.
The final instructions provide
that employers offering more
than one type of minimum
essential coverage (MEC) to a
particular employee are only
required to report one type of
coverage. That is, employers
with both a major medical plan
and an HRA are only required to
report one of the two coverage
types.
Do the instructions do anything to clarify simplif ied
reporting?
As anyone who has spent
time sorting through the reporting requirements is aware, the
instructions provide for several
types of “simplified reporting.”
However, this reporting is governed by so many rules and
nuances that it often seems as if
qualifying for the simplif ied
reporting is more complicated
than just reporting without any
so-called simplif ication. The
final instructions attempt to get
at this complexity by providing
some clarifications to the qualifying offer method of simplified
reporting.
Through an example, the
instructions explain that an
employer can use the qualifying
offer method of reporting (with
the cor responding reporting
code of 1A) if an employee and
the employee’s dependents
received an offer of affordable
coverage for all months of the
calendar year in which the
employee was a full-time
employee of the employer.
The example illustrates that
an ALE member can use the
qualifying offer code (1A) on
Form 1095-C so long as the
employee received a qualifying
offer for all months in which the
employee was full-time (and not
in a limited non-assessment period), but the ALE member cannot
furnish the alternative statement
unless the employee received a
qualifying offer for all 12
months in the calendar year.
Months in which an employee
was excluded from coverage for
a permissible reason, like a waiting period that does not exceed
the ACA maximums, will not
preclude an employer from using
the qualifying offer reporting
method. However, the instructions make clear that this method
is not available for self-insured
employers if the employee actually enrolled in the employer’s
self-insured coverage.
Do I really need to report
COBRA offers of coverage?
No, COBRA offers of coverage are no longer reported as an
offer of coverage if an employee
terminated employment. However, in instances where an
employee loses coverage due to
a reduction in hours but remains
an employee, an offer of
COBRA coverage would be
reported.
Am I really going to need to
report in 2016?
The IRS’ affirmative step in
releasing f inal forms and
instructions signals that employers will not see an additional
delay in reporting requirements.
The IRS has stated that it will
not impose penalties where an
employer makes a good faith
effort to comply, but penalties
are likely where an employer
simply ignores the reporting
rules.
For employers that have been
ignoring the rules in hopes that
they would disappear, this new
guidance signals the perfect
moment to get things in order.

SMALLBIZ SMALL TALK
Fast and easy loans come at price for small businesses
BY JOSEPH PISANI
AP Business Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — It
sounded like a sweet deal: A loan
broker walked into Southern Girl
Desserts offering the Los Angeles bakery a $40,000 loan that
could be deposited in a bank
account quickly. Already rejected
for a loan from a bank, co-owner
Catarah Hampshire took the offer
and hired more workers to whip
up peach cobblers and sweet
potato cupcakes.
Then the daily phone calls
from brokers began. Hampshire
was persuaded to take out a second loan. Later she took out a
third, and then three more. In less
than two years, Southern Girl
Desserts took out six loans and
was in a financial mess that made
it difficult to buy ingredients and
pay employees.
“We were drowning,” says
Hampshire. “I don’t know how
we survived.”
Southern Girl Desserts borrowed from companies that make
short-term loans or give cash
advances to small businesses that
are typically structured to be paid
back in under a year. Automatic
payments are taken out daily or
weekly, either from a bank
account or from a company’s
credit card transactions. Annual
percentage rates can be as high
as 50 percent or more, far above
the APRs of traditional small
business loans backed by the
Small Business Administration.
Those cur rently have APRs
below 10 percent.
A growing chorus of critics
say short-term loans are bad for
small businesses because APRs
aren’t revealed, they are expensive and they can lead businesses
into a dangerous cycle of borrowing over and over again to
keep up with payments. In at
least two cases, the difficulties
didn’t end when businesses filed
for bankruptcy. Earlier this year
two judges sided with plaintiffs
in separate cases against one
such lender, New York-based On
Deck Capital Inc., after it continued to withdraw payments from
the businesses while operating
under bankruptcy protection.
OnDeck says the problems
stemmed from clerical errors that
are now fixed.
So why would a business
owner choose loans with such
high rates? Getting loans at lower
rates is tough for small business
owners looking to bor row
$250,000 or less. Banks see the
loans as too risky, or not profitable enough, says Karen Mills,
who led the SBA for four years
and is currently a Harvard Business School fellow. As lenders
clamped down during the Great
Recession, it became even harder
for small companies to get loans,
fueling the growth of alternative
lenders. “I think it’s good,” says
Mills. “We know there is a gap in
small-dollar loans.”
But these loans sometimes
come at a high price. States have
laws that cap interest rates and
fees for loans, but most state
laws don’t apply to business
loans, says Carolyn Carter, direc-
tor of advocacy at the National
Consumer Law Center. Also,
some lenders partner with banks
in states that don’t have such
laws.
A group of lenders, brokers,
advocates and nonprof its are
pushing what it calls a Small
Business Bor rowers’ Bill of
Rights. The guidelines are aimed
at getting lenders to follow standards they say would protect
small companies.
One member of the group,
Accion, a nonprofit that provides
small loans and advice to entrepreneurs, says it has seen an
increase in businesses overwhelmed with debt seeking to
refinance. About 20 percent of
loan applicants at Accion’s
Chicago office have been seeking
to refinance short-term loans so
far this year, up from 5 percent in
2014. But most have so much
debt Accion can’t help. Those
companies are connected with
lawyers that can either contact
the lenders and negotiate a different payment method or help them
file for bankruptcy protection.
The city of Chicago, noticing
more small businesses struggling
with loans and cash advances,
plastered ads on buses and trains
earlier this year war ning of
predatory lenders. Mayor Rahm
Emanuel has pushed state and
federal officials to regulate the
industry. City lawyers are also
looking at ways to force lenders,
through legislation, to be clearer
about their costs, says Maria
Guerra Lapacek, the commissioner of Chicago’s Department
of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection. But if they
have no physical presence in the
city, it’s tough, she says.
FROM SWEET TO BITTER
Southern Girl Desserts f irst
borrowed $40,000 from Advance
Restaurant Finance, with terms to
pay back $1,160 weekly. Advance
Restaurant Finance, which is now
known as ARF Financial, did not
respond to requests to comment.
Five months later, another broker contacted Hampshire and she
took a second loan for $50,000
from OnDeck. She wanted the
money to keep expanding the
business. About $9,300 went to
pay off the remaining balance
from the first loan. The bakery
was charged an origination fee of
$1,250 and interest of $18,500.
In all, Southern Girl Desserts
received $39,500 in cash from
OnDeck, and it owed the lender
$68,500. A payment of $271 was
taken from Souther n Girl
Desserts’ credit card receivables
every business day.
Seven months later, an
OnDeck representative called
with another loan offer that
would give the bakery a cash
infusion and pay off the remaining balance on the first OnDeck
loan. Hampshire agreed. This
time, Souther n Girl Desser ts
received $50,000 in cash. It now
owed OnDeck more than
$110,000.
Since OnDeck is a public
company whose stock trades on
the New York Stock Exchange, it
regularly f iles paperwork with
5 tips before you take out a short-term
small business loan
NEW YORK (AP) — Getting a short-term small
business loan is fast and easy, but they also tend to be
much more expensive than traditional loans.
Applying for these loans is done online or through
a broker, and money is typically deposited into a
bank account within days. Payback is done in under a
year, usually through daily or weekly automatic payments.
Before signing a loan agreement, here’s some
things small business owners should keep in mind:
SLOW DOWN
Before taking out a loan, “you need to slow
down,” says Ami Kassar, CEO of broker MultiFunding. “Take a breath and figure out the impact of your
cash flow,” he says. Daily payments, for example, can
make it difficult to run a business.
Figuring out cash flow can be difficult for some
small business owners, but fee advice is available,
says Karen Mills, the former heard of the Small Business Administration. Reach out to the SBA or nonprofit
organization Score. Both provide free counseling and
workshops around the U.S. Check city and state small
business centers too, they may also be able to help.
KNOW THE APR
Most short-term lenders do not provide annual percentage rates, or APRs, for their loan products. Knowing the APR can help you compare the cost of the loan
the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In an August filing,
OnDeck says that getting customers to take out additional
loans or lines of credit is “important” to its future growth. Payment processor PayPal, which
has been lending money to its
small business customers for less
than two years, says 90 percent of
borrowers who pay off their loans
apply for another. Square, another payment processor, says more
than 80 percent of the merchants
that have paid off a cash advance
take a second one.
The owners of Southern Girl
Desserts say they wouldn’t have
accepted any of the loan offers if
they had known the APRs.
Hampshire found out later that
the loans she took out had APRs
of more than 50 percent.
“That was never discussed,”
says Hampshire. “I mean, I’ve
purchased a home in the past. I
know what to look for. I know
about APRs, but that information
was never disclosed.”
But when Souther n Girl
Desser ts took the third loan,
Hampshire wasn’t thinking about
APRs. A refrigerator, mixer and
ice machine all broke at the same
time. Cash was tight. So Hampshire, desperate to keep the business alive, borrowed money from
three different companies, Wide
Merchant Investment, Yellowstone Capital and Pearl Capital.
None responded to requests for
comment.
OnDeck doesn’t reveal the
APR to borrowers on its website
or in loan agreements, but CEO
Noah Breslow says the company’s customer service agents will
calculate an APR if borrowers
ask. “We can do that for customers,” says Breslow.
However, OnDeck does list
APRs in SEC filings. The company reported in August that its
average APR, which includes
loan terms that can range from
six to 24 months, was 46.5 percent during the second quarter of
to others. If you know how much you want to borrow,
how long it will take to pay back and what the payments will be, try using online calculators at Fundastic.com or Efunda.com. Fundastic.com’s has calculators that help users determine costs for certain lenders,
including OnDeck and Kabbage.
CHECK THE FEES
Know what fees you may have to pay. Many
lenders charge upfront fees for a loan, and some also
charge fees for setting up an automatic payment or
for not having enough cash in a bank account to
cover a payment.
FIND OUT ABOUT PREPAYMENT PENALTIES
Check if you have to payback all the interest, even
if you pay back the whole loan before it’s due. It’s
common among short-term lenders to require all of
the interest even if the loan is paid off early, but some
might offer a discount.
ASK IF THEY REPORT TO CREDIT BUREAUS
Some small businesses that borrowed from shortterm lenders were surprised to find that they do not
report loan information to credit bureaus, even when
a business had paid off the loan in full. This can prevent a small business from building up credit to qualify for a traditional loan from a bank. Don’t be surprised; ask beforehand if the lender you are considering reports to credit bureaus.
the year, down from 56.7 percent
in the same period a year before.
OnDeck lists APRs in f ilings
because the SEC asked for them,
Breslow says.
Most short-term lenders don’t
provide APRs on their websites
or in loan contracts. That makes
it hard for business owners to
compare costs, critics say. On its
website, OnDeck says a $25,000
six-month loan could cost an
average of 17 cents per dollar
bor rowed. Square says on its
website that borrowing $8,500
may cost $9,605, and PayPal says
an $8,000 loan may cost $8,445.
Another lender, CAN Capital,
says a $10,000 six-month loan
could cost a business $12,000.
Since the lenders are largely
unregulated, there are no rules on
how they should advertise their
products. CAN Capital declined
to comment for this story.
PayPal and Square say small
businesses prefer to know the
cost of borrowing money in dollar amounts, not percentages.
“You think in terms of dollars,
not interest,” the Square website
says. But according to a recent
online focus group of 44 business
owners conducted by the Federal
Reserve, small business owners
prefer knowing the APR.
SUCCESS STORIES
Despite the pitfalls that some
small business owners have had,
there are companies that are
pleased with their experience
with the loans.
MPD Digital, which sells
cables that are used to connect to
antennas, has taken out several
short-term loans to buy large
quantities of cable that it cuts up,
reconfigures and sells to its customers.
The Albany, Georgia-based
company was rejected for a loan
by its local bank because the
company didn’t have enough
cash on hand, says general manager Ray Nelson.
So MPD Digital began borrowing cash from several lenders,
including OnDeck, Kabbage and
PayPal. They were all paid back
within several months. Nelson
says the lenders are expensive,
but it’s the only option.
“We would be stuck,” says
Nelson. “We couldn’t afford to
buy enough at once.”
Livewell Care, a Los Angeles
company that provides caregivers
to older people, took two
OnDeck loans last year. The cash
allowed the company to double
its staff and revenue. CEO Dorika Beckett calculated the APR of
the OnDeck loan on her own and
knew it was costly. When she got
another loan with better terms to
repay the OnDeck loan early, she
wasn’t happy about having to pay
back all of the interest to
OnDeck — a common practice
among short-term lenders.
“It didn’t seem fair,” says
Beckett. “I should have clarified
that issue, but I wasn’t thinking
that I would pay it back early
when I took it out.”
OnDeck says it has since
launched a prepayment benefit in
December that lets new customers get a 25 percent discount
on unpaid interest.
Southern Girl Desserts finally
got out of its mess late last year
with another loan. This time it
bor rowed from Oppor tunity
Fund, a San Jose, Californiabased nonprof it that lends to
small businesses. It didn’t need
to be paid back for three years
and had an APR below 14 percent.
Hampshire and Southern Girl
Desserts co-owner Shoneji Robison say they tell other small business owners to avoid short-term
lenders. In August, they joined
the coalition advocating for the
Small Business Borrowers’ Bill
of Rights in Washington D.C.
When their plane landed,
Hampshire had two voice messages from brokers offering
loans. She ignored them.
“We’re smar ter now,” says
Hampshire.
ECONOMY
Bernanke defending Fed actions to battle recession
Publication of opinion piece coincides with release of memoir about 2008 financial crisis
BY MARTIN CRUTSINGER
AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke says
the U.S. economy is outperforming Europe
at the moment because the Fed moved more
quickly and aggressively to fight the 2008
financial crisis than Europe did.
Bernanke, writing an opinion piece in
the Wall Street Journal on Monday, said
that U.S. economic output is 8.9 percent
higher than its previous peak before the
recession. That is “an enormous difference” from the Eurozone, where output is
only 0.8 percent higher than its previous
peak.
Bernanke credited those differences to
aggressive efforts by the Fed to jump-start
economic growth. He said the Fed started
six years ahead of moves by the European
Central Bank.
In his opinion piece, Bernanke was critical of the fact that for too long, the Fed was
the only game in town in terms of pursuing
efforts to get the country out of the worst
economic downturn since the Great
Depression because of political gridlock in
Congress.
“Monetary policy (interest rates controlled by the Fed) can no longer be the
only game in town. Fiscal policy makers in
Congress need to step up,” Bernanke wrote.
“We need to do more to improve worker
skills, foster capital investment and support
research and development.”
Bernanke’s opinion piece was published
Monday, the same day his new book, “The
Courage to Act: A Memoir of a Crisis and
Its Aftermath” went on sale in bookstores.
The 610-page memoir, which Bernanke
began writing after he left the Fed in January 2014, is his defense of the extraordinary measures the Fed employed to rescue
the economy after the 2008 financial crisis.
Bernanke said that the weekend in September 2008 when regulators sought desperately but in vain to save investment bank
Lehman Brothers was his worst moment in
the crisis. He said he was concerned that
the failure of Lehman, the biggest bankruptcy in U.S. history, could send the entire
economy into another Great Depression
like the 1930s.
“I was very worried,” Bernanke said in
an interview Monday with CNBC. “My
whole background as an academic was
studying the Great Depression, studying
financial panics, their effect on the economy. And I saw we were having the granddaddy of all f inancial panics about to
explode on us and I thought the consequences would be tremendous.”
In the interview, Bernanke refused to
second-guess the job being done by his
successor, Janet Yellen. But he generally
expressed support for the Fed’s current
stance of making sure low inflation is headed back to the Fed’s 2 percent goal before
starting to raise interest rates.
The Fed in September decided to delay a
rate hike because of concerns about developments in financial markets and China.
But officials have since said rates could
still be raised before the end of the year.
The Fed has meetings in October and
December.
Bernanke, who was Fed chairman for
eight years starting in February 2006, is
now a distinguished fellow in residence at
the Brookings Institution in Washington.
He said that his wife is much happier with
his new job, relating her reaction when he
told her he had been tapped for the Fed
chairman’s job.
“When I called to tell her, she broke into
tears, and they were not tears of joy,” he
said.

Protecting us from ourselves
We just experienced another
massacre, this time in Oregon.
Nine people were murdered by a
young gunman. And so it continues. Schools, movie theatres,
army bases, shopping malls; all
can become occasions for mass
killings. Some want better gun
control. Others want no control.
We can continue to quote and
argue about the Second Amendment, which states: “A well-regulated militia, being necessary to
the security of a free state, the
right of the people to keep and
bear arms, shall not be
infringed.” This was written in
the second half of the 18th century. At that time there were no
phones, no cell phones, no television, no internet, no iPads, no
Kindles, no movies. News took
days to reach people. Children
did not grow up watching violent television programs from
age two or three right on to
adulthood. Young women and
men grew to maturity by imitating their parents. It was a sign of
maturity to own a gun and
defend your family. Men grew
up more thoughtful. Women
grew up believing that they were
inferior to men. (This was not
good.) There was a clear distinction between right and wrong.
What was applicable in the 18th
century is not necessarily applicable in the 21st century. There
was great impulse control and it
was seen as a virtue to control
your impulses. People respected
authority. But because there was
no television or daily news about
what abuses such as slavery, bigotry, and prejudice were happening around the world, most people didn’t realize all the evil that
was happening.
Today our children play violent games. They grow up shooting people, destroying people
and getting game points for
doing this. Little boys or girls
are shooting people on their
iPods on a daily basis. Violence
has become a game. Instant satisfaction feels like it is a necessity. Waiting for something or
waiting for someone seems like
an insult or a burden. We live in
a culture of instant replay,
instant satisfaction and whatever
we want should be obtained as
soon as possible. “As soon as
possible” means now. Impulse
control seems to be a virtue of
the past.
Maybe we need to look deeper at our culture than only worrying about gun control. Are we
creating a culture where controlling our impulses and instant
gratif ication is totally out of
control? Is our culture contributing to people acting out their
resentments, inferiority complexes, and emotional wounds
because we provide the climate
and opportunity to do this? We
create violent games. We create
violent television programs. And
of course this has to be allowed
because it would be against free
speech to prohibit this.
Is freedom of any type of
speech the virtue that makes a
good culture? Is the freedom to
own any type of f irearm a
virtue? Is it really a necessity?
Put guns and unresolved emotional conflicts, violent games
and television programs in the
same pot and what then will
brew? We have seen the results.
Having better gun laws could
help prevent massacres. But
maybe we need to look deeper
and see what mind protection
laws we need to be put in place.
How do we protect us from ourselves? There is no easy answer.
There are a lot of theories right
now. Yes, there are facts about
how many people are killed in
this country by guns: more than
any other country in the world.
But why does this happen? Easy
access to guns is one reason. But
there are many other reasons
also.
For years I have watched
emotional violence between
political candidates being portrayed as political wisdom. For
years political advertisements
become absolute lies and misrepresentations. And no one
seems upset by this. It is simply
accepted as politics.
For years I have watched people who are supposed to represent God send other people to
hell by their words and condemnations.
For years I have watched people treat each other disrespectfully and never apologize.
For years I have watched people hold grudges and not forgive
each other.
For years I have watched
hatred and bigotry toward another race, gender or sexual orientation become a reason for hateful
words and actions.
But for years I have also
watched people treat each other
with kindness, love and patience.
For years I have watched people becoming open, kind and
loving by their willingness to
become quiet and listen to a God
loving them and asking them to
love others.
If only we could start putting
into practice in our own lives a
time for silence each day and a
time to decide to be more kind
and loving toward everyone. If
only we could admit when we
are becoming too busy to reflect
and too preoccupied with ourselves to be kind and loving
toward others.
Humility, honesty, reflection
and compassion will solve most
of the problems in life. Start
doing it in your own part of the
world. The answers will become
clear to you. We will then protect ourselves from ourselves
because the positive loving self
will take over.

ILLINOIS
Chicago police commander to go on trial for tough tactics
Officer with aggressive approach to
cleaning up streets has been the focus of
dozens of excessive-force complaints
BY DON BABWIN
Associated Press
CHICAGO (AP) — When a
West Side neighborhood decayed
into a deadly shooting gallery, the
Chicago police chief said he was
sending his “best guy” into the
fray to turn back the drug- and
gang-fueled violence.
The chief called Cmdr. Glenn
Evans his “favorite among my
favorites,” and Evans had delivered in his previous assignment.
There had been 80 fewer shootings in the Grand Crossing neighborhood compared with the year
before — the second largest drop
anywhere in the city. Evans won
gratitude from families who finally felt safe enough to sit on their
porches.
But in December, the same
off icer who cleaned up those
streets is scheduled to go on trial
on charges that his no-holdsbarred style of policing went
beyond the law when he allegedly
shoved a gun down a suspect’s
throat. The proceedings are sure to
draw a complicated picture of the
daring commander who seemed to
be part of the solution to the city’s
gun violence, only to be accused
of his own crimes.
At a time when much of the
nation is debating the treatment of
black suspects by white police
off icers, Evans’ case unfolds
against a different backdrop: He is
a black officer credited with safe-
guarding black neighborhoods.
When he was charged, the 53year-old had already been the
focus of dozens of excessive-force
complaints and cost the city more
than $225,000 in legal settlements.
He was also widely praised for
aggressive tactics that included
racing along the streets in an
unmarked car, shoving it into park
and exploding out of the door to
confront drug dealers and gang
members, with no apparent concern about being outnumbered or
outgunned.
Evans has spent more than half
his life in the police department.
Slightly chubby, with a rumpled
look that makes his clothes appear
wrinkled when they’re not, he
hardly looks like a police officer
with 160 awards and commendations who has thrown himself in
front of bullets to save fellow officers.
“I call him the black Homer
Simpson,’ said Tony Robinson, a
retired detective and longtime
friend of Evans. “To look at him,
you’d never know he was a copper.”
But on the street, residents
know exactly what to expect.
“I have no crime on my corner,
and that is simply because of the
way he helped me,” said Josephine
Wade, owner of Josephine’s Cooking restaurant on the South Side.
“He walked up to these dope boys
and told them they had to leave.”
Other officers describe a col-
league who kept working hours
after his shift ended whose interests seemed to begin and end with
his job.
“I don’t see how he could ever
be married because of his lifestyle.
He was married to his job,” said
Robinson of the divorced Evans.
Ed Praznowski, a retired
sergeant, recalled getting into a car
crash and, in a daze, trying to keep
a man from wresting his gun away.
Suddenly Evans, who was offduty, appeared.
“Glenn came up behind him
and put a gun to his head and tells
him if he doesn’t take his hand off
my gun he’s going to kill him,”
Praznowski recalled. “I have no
doubt that Glenn Evans saved my
life.”
According to prosecutors, the
day after a child was shot, Evans
drove up to a man he said was
armed with a gun and got out of
his car. When the man ran into an
abandoned house, Evans followed.
He is accused of shoving a gun
into the man’s mouth and, with a
Taser pressed to the suspect’s
groin, threatening to kill him if he
didn’t say where his gun was. No
gun was ever found.
Defense attorneys dispute the
allegations. But they don’t dispute
that Evans, acting more like a
patrolman than a commander of
one of the city’s 22 police districts,
chased the man during the Jan. 30,
2013, confrontation.

PUBLIC ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING
Pursuant to MCR 8.112(3), the Third Circuit Court will hold a public
administrative hearing on Friday, October 16, 2015, in Courtroom
701 of the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center located at Two
Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI 48226. The hearing will begin
promptly at 11:00 a.m. and adjourn no later than 12:30 p.m. Persons who wish to address the Court regarding proposed local court
rule 8.115 will be allotted three minutes each to present their views,
after which the speakers may be questioned by the Chief Judge. To
reserve a place on the agenda, please notify the Office of General
Counsel in writing at 742 Coleman A. Young Municipal Center, Two
Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI 48226 or by email at
[email protected], no later than Wednesday, October 14,
2015.
Administrative matters on the agenda for this hearing is:
1.
2015-1 Proposed Adoption of Local Court Rule 8.115.
Issue: Whether to adopt the proposed local rule that outlines
practices to ensure decorum in manner, conduct and dress within
the courtrooms and hearing rooms of the Third Circuit Court.
In another lawsuit, a city
employee alleged that Evans
attacked him as he tried to deliver
a water shut-off notice to a house
Evans owned. Evans claimed the
man attacked him, despite the fact
that the employee had suffered a
stroke a few years earlier that left
him with a distinct limp. Evans
had him arrested.
The city paid more than
$99,000 and Evans paid another
$5,000 to settle the case without
admitting any wrongdoing. At the
man’s trial, a judge threw the case
out.
“The next time you pick somebody to come in here as a witness,” the judge told Evans, “make
sure they lie a little better.”
Evans’ confrontations have not
been limited to people who have
been arrested.
The Rev. Corey Brooks tells of
visiting a police station to complain that officers were ticketing
cars in his church’s parking lot.
“Out of nowhere,” he said, Evans
“began to belittle me.” When he
talked back, Evans and two other
off icers threw him out of the
police station.
Outside, Brooks said, he tried
to call the police superintendent.
That’s when Evans came out and
the other officers “had to grab him
to keep him from getting to me.”
Wade and others say they’ve
never seen that side of Evans and
suspect that he’s a victim of his
success. “The people that help us,
the minute they do something
good, somebody tries to bring
them down,” she said.
Even Brooks acknowledged
Evans’ effectiveness: “Outside of
the crazy stuff that he did ... I will
say that he did get a lot of the gun
violence under control.”
Supreme Court declines to review insider trading case
Prosecutors warn ruling could hinger government’s crackdown on insider trading
BY SAM HANANEL
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Supreme Court said Monday it
won’t hear the Obama administration’s appeal of a lower court ruling that made it tougher to prosecute people for trading on leaked
inside information.
The justices let stand a decision
by the federal appeals court in
New York last year that threw out
insider trading convictions of two
high-profile hedge fund managers.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals overturned the convictions of Anthony Chiasson, of
Manhattan, and Todd Newman, of
Needham, Massachusetts, after
finding they were too far removed
from inside information to be
prosecuted.
Prosecutors warned the ruling
could hinder the government’s
campaign to curb insider trading
on Wall Street, a crackdown that
has resulted in more than 80
arrests and 70 convictions over
several years.
Chiasson, who co-founded
Level Global Investors based in
Greenwich, Conn., and Newman,
who had worked for Diamondback Capital Management based
in Stamford, Conn., traded on tips
from insiders on stock in technology companies Dell Inc. and
Nvidia Corp. that generated $72
million in prof its. The former
portfolio managers were both
convicted in December 2012.
The appeals court said prosecutors failed to present enough
evidence the men willfully
engaged in insider trading or con-
spired to break the law. It ruled
that the government must show a
person receiving a tip knew that
an insider disclosed confidential
information and that the tipster
passed the information expecting
a personal benefit.
In legal briefs filed with the
court, Solicitor General Donald
Verrilli said leaving the appeals
court ruling in place would “hurt
market participants, disadvantage
scrupulous market analysts and
impair the government’s ability to
protect the fairness and integrity
of the securities markets.”
Both men have denied insider
trading. Their lawyers argued that
they believed they were making
trades based on legitimate
research.
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara in
Manhattan told reporters on a
conference call Monday that the
Supreme Court’s decision means
“that there’s a category of conduct
that arguably will go unpunished
going forward.”
“If you have a CEO who has
access to material, non-published
information about earnings or
anything else of a very sensitive
nature and decides he wants to
tip a relative or a buddy or a
crony, knowing that person is
going to trade on it to the tune
and profit of millions of dollars,
we would have to think long and
hard, given Newman, whether to
prosecute a person like that,”
Bharara said.
He said new laws or regulations could give the government,
insiders and the public more clarity on the issue.
In a statement, Chiasson’s
MILESTONE:

THIRD CIRCUIT COURT (Wayne County)
Evans since he joined the police
force. One study found that over a
20-year period ending in 2008, he
had at least 45 excessive-force
complaints. He’s also named in at
least three pending federal lawsuits.
Police Superintendent Garry
McCarthy defended Evans, even
after the Independent Police
Review Authority recommended
he be stripped of his police powers. Evans did not lose those powers until he was criminally charged
months later.
Through his attorney, he
declined repeated requests to discuss his career and the charges
against him with The Associated
Press.
After he was charged, Chicago
public radio station WBEZ cited
department documents that
showed Evans had been suspended
at least 11 times, primarily in the
first decade of his career.
In response to a Freedom of
Information request from the AP,
the police department said Evans
has not been suspended in the last
four years. A judge in May issued
an order prohibiting the department from providing information
about any investigations prior to
that time.
Evans’ style and his reputation
are on full display in several lawsuits.
In one pending case, a woman
alleges that after she was taken
into custody in 2011 and refused
to be fingerprinted, an officer at
the police station told her, “We
know somebody who can get your
fingerprints.” A short time later,
she said, Evans appeared and violently pressed his fist to her nose
until she bled profusely. She was
then fingerprinted.

OMC partners with Cooley

Mediators are not required to be
attorneys.
“They are social workers,
teachers, architects, doctors and
construction workers,” Hanes
said.
“Because our mediators represent a multiplicity of ages, professions, religions and ethnicities, the community can relate to
us, to think OMC is a place for
them,” Hanes said. “Our oldest
mediator is in her eighties, our
youngest ones are in their twenties.”
Besides its youth and domestic mediation programs, OMC
has partnered with WMU-Cooley
Law School to train law students
as state cour t administrative
office approved civil mediators.
“The program prepares students for the real world of mediation by providing experiential
training and practical experience
to WMU-Cooley students while
developing highly-trained mediators,” Hanes said.
Before potential mediators
earn their accreditation they are
required to complete a five-day
interactive training. Additional
courses are offered for domestic
relations and advance mediation.
“OMC strives to maintain a
roster of 70 mediators,” Hanes
said. “Although we are a community mediation center, we deliver
cour t r ule mediation for the
courts, attorneys and clients. It is
a facilitated neutral process.”
Subsequently, members of the
legal community have embraced
OMC’s programs, often referring
cases to the center.
“They see the benef its of
mediation,” she said.
Going forward, Hanes is
working on a long-term strategic
plan.
“We want OMC to be of more
service to our community. Many
people still don’t know what our
brand is so we are reaching out to
everyone to encourage them to
think of mediation before they
sue their neighbor,” Hanes said.

attorney Gregory Morvillo said
his client is “deeply gratified by
this complete vindication.” But
Morvillo added that dozens of
Chiasson’s colleagues lost their
jobs “at his thriving fund which
became the collateral damage of
this ill-conceived prosecution.”
Nearly $62 million of the profits came as a result of tips from a
Dell employee to a former Dell
worker who spread the information among friends, some of
whom worked at five investment
houses, including three hedge
funds.
When the men were arrested in
2012, prosecutors said the Dell
trades represented the largest
insider trading transaction ever
prosecuted in Manhattan.
The case is United States v.
Newman, 15-137.

Re: Nomination of John Hill as Chief
Financial Officer.
By this letter, I respectfully submit, for
your review and approval, John Hill, who I
am pleased to nominate for the position of
Chief Financial Officer of the City of
Detroit.
While the Detroit City Charter has no
position designated as “Chief Financial
Officer,” the City is required to appoint a
Chief Financial Officer under the Home
Rule City Act amendments that were
made as part of the “Grand Bargain” legislation. (MCL Sec. 117.4s.)
The statute reads as follows:
“(1) Notwithstanding a charter provision
or ordinance to the contrary, a city with a
population of more than 600,000 shall
establish the position of chief financial
officer. The mayor of the city shall appoint
the chief financial officer subject to the
approval of the governing body of the city,
and, if applicable, the financial review
commission created in the Michigan
financial review commission act. The chief
financial officer shall have substantial
experience with sophisticated municipal
financial transactions, complex multidimensional governmental restructurings,
governmental labor relations, health care
benefits of pension matters, and local
government management with governmental units having aggregate revenues
of $250,000,000.00 or more. Nothing in
this section shall be construed to prevent
a city with a population or more than
600,000 from adopting a charter provision
or ordinance providing the responsibilities
for a chief financial officer that are not
inconsistent with this section.” (P.A. 181 of
2014; MCL Sec. 117.4s.)
Accordingly I submit Mr. Hill to you for
your expeditious review and approval.
Sincerely,
MICHAEL E. DUGGAN
Mayor
City of Detroit
By All Council Members:
Resolved, That the appointment by His
Honor the Mayor, of John Hill as the Chief
Financial Officer and the same is hereby

Re: Traffic Signal Removal at 15 locations.
The following fifteen (15) signalized
intersections are currently operating on
full time “STOP control” mode in compliance with the Michigan Manual of Uniform
Traffic Control Devices (MMUTCD) and
are scheduled for removal due to changes
in traffic conditions.
The traffic volumes, accident report
and physical conditions were analyzed
prior to placing the signals on full time
flashing operation. The traffic volumes
have dropped significantly over the years
at these locations. As a result, currently
none of the MMUTCD warrants are satisfied and therefore, continued operation of
the traffic signals is no longer justified.
Moreover, being unwarranted, these traffic signals will pose unnecessary liability
for City unless removed.
After placing the signals on flashing
operation, the before/after crash data was
reviewed for each of the intersections and
is shown below. The after-crash data was
reviewed for the period between the date
of flashing and the end of September,
2014. For comparison purposes, the
before-crash data was also reviewed for a
time period of the same length before the
flashing date. Overall, a crash reduction
was observed after flashing.

RESOLUTION
IN MEMORIAM
ELECTA SMITH DIXON
By COUNCIL MEMBER JONES:
WHEREAS, We, the members of the
Detroit City Council, solemnly pause
today to honor the memory of the late
Electa Smith Dixon, a loving and devoted
wife, mother, grandmother, and phenomenal woman who departed this life on
December 13, 2014; and
WHEREAS, Born on February 21,
1935, Electa Smith Dixon was welcomed
into the world by two loving parents.
Roberta and Sylvester Smith, and was
the youngest of five children. It was in her
native town of Birmingham, Alabama that
she would remain until 1952 when she
decided to follow the great migration to
the north and moved to Detroit, Michigan
in search of a new life. She received her
secondary education in the Detroit Public
School system, graduating from Northern
High School and afterwards went on to
study at the Fleming’s School of
Cosmetology and became licensed cosmetologist. She enjoyed a thriving career
in the hair and beauty industry for more
than 30 years; and
WHEREAS, In 1959 she married the
C I T Y
C O U N C I L
love of her life, Caldwell Dixon and they
shared over 48 years together before her
husband preceded her in death. As the
mother of one daughter, Angela and
proud grandmother of her beloved grandson, Kofi, she was unselfishly dedicated
to her family. Throughout her life Electa
Smith Dixon possessed a kind and giving
spirit of helping others and she was a light
of inspiration to all she met; and
WHEREAS, In addition to her unwavering commitment to her family, she possessed a faithful dedication to her religion
and church and exemplified the role of
dutiful Christian. Electa Smith Dixon was
an active member of King David
Missionary Baptist Church for over 50
years, serving as an usher and member
of the Deacons Wives Group. She has
made many important community contributions, volunteering on her local community council and at the Detroit Institute of
Arts. Recognized and respected as a
devoted matriarch, she ensured that the
values and traditions by which she lived
would exist in the hearts of those she
cherished for years to come. NOW
THEREFORE BE IT
RESOLVED, That the Detroit City
Council and the office of Council
President Brenda Jones, hereby expresses its condolences and joins with family
and friends in honoring the legacy of
Electa Smith Dixon. She will be greatly
missed and her contributions and the

EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT OVERVIEW
———
The City of Detroit, through the Department of Housing and Revitalization (HRD),
received a Federal Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) award for FY 2015-2016 from
the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) in the amount of
$2,862,103, most of which the City will sub-grant to qualified nonprofit organizations. Of this amount, the City will retain $214,658 for its administrative costs,
$100,000 to support a diversion pilot program, and $200,000 to support Southwest
Solution’s Coodinated Assessment Model, or CAM. The City of Detroit seeks to
award a total of $2,347,445.00 through this RFP competition. Of the $2,347,445.00
available for this competition, the City will require each applicant organization to
designate not more than 2% of individual awards for data collection under Homeless
Management Information System (HMIS).
The City of Detroit anticipates to award its ESG funds to qualified applicant
organizations which have provided any of the following ESG eligible activities:
“Street Outreach,” “Emergency Shelter” (including warming center services), “Rapid
Re-housing,” and/or “Homelessness Prevention,” for at least two (2) years. All proposals must demonstrate 100% match requirement, with verifiable source(s)
to meet the threshold. The City will not accept proposals for shelter renovations, rehabilitation or conversion under this competition.
The City of Detroit also anticipates making awards not less than $75,000.00 for
Street Outreach, $100,000.00 for Emergency Shelter (including warming center services), $250,000.00 for Rapid-Re-housing and $100,000.00 for Homelessness
Prevention services, to successful applicants. The City of Detroit will review each
applicant’s performance record annually, and reserves the right to de-obligate and
reallocate funds throughout the grant term. Administrative costs are not eligible for
non-shelter applicants, and all grants will be program-based awards for eligible
homeless services, (For more details see “Eligible Activities” & “Proposal
Selection & Evaluation Criteria”). Only proposals meeting the minimum ESG
application threshold requirements will be considered for funding.

of Mortgage, dated September 27, 2013
and recorded October 2, 2013 at Liber
51091, Page 456, Wayne County

WHEREAS the mortgage at Paragraph

immediate payment in full of all sums
secured by this Security Instrument if . . .
[a] Borrower dies and the Property is not
the principal residence of at least one surviving Borrower;” and,
WHEREAS Everine F. Thomas died on

WHEREAS the debt secured by the

WHEREAS, by virtue of this default, the

NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to powers
vested in me by the Single Family Mortgage Foreclosure Act of 1994, 12 U.S.C. §
3751 et seq., by 24 CFR part 27, subpart
B, and by the Secretary's designation of
me as Foreclosure Commissioner, recorded on November 26, 2008 at Liber 47607,
Page 1042, Wayne County Records,
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on
Tuesday, November 3, 2015 at 11:00 a.m.
local time, the real property located in the
City of Detroit, County of Wayne, State of
Michigan, the below described will be sold
at public auction to the highest bidder:
Lot 366, Liber 32, Page 23, Dover park
Subdivision, Wayne County, Michigan.
Commonly known as: 6395 Majestic St.
Tax Parcel No: Ward 18 Item No. 004492
The sale will be held at the Wayne
County Circuit Courthouse, which is located at 2 Woodward Ave., Detroit, Michigan.
The Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development may bid any amount up to
and including the total debt at the date of
sale, plus any and all amounts recoverable under the provisions of the mortgage.
There will be no proration of taxes, rents
or other income or liabilities, except that
the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his pro rata share of any real estate
taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale.
When making their bids, all bidders,
except the Secretary, must submit a
deposit totaling 10% of the successful bid
in the form of a certified check or cashier's
check, made payable to the Secretary of
HUD. Each oral bid need not be accompanied by a deposit. If the successful bid
is oral, a deposit of 10% of the successful
bid must be presented when the bidding is
closed. The deposit is nonrefundable.
The remainder of the purchase price must
be delivered within 30 days of the sale or
such other time as the Secretary may
determine for good cause shown, time
being of the essence. This amount, like
the bid deposits, must be delivered in the
form of a certified or cashier's check. If
the Secretary is the high bidder, he need
not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveyancing
fees, all real estate and other taxes that
are due on or after the delivery of the
remainder of the payment and all other
costs associated with the transfer of title.
At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits
of the unsuccessful bidders will be
returned to them.
The Secretary may grant an extension
of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be
for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00,
paid in advance. The extension fee shall
be in the form of a certified or cashiers
check made payable to the Secretary of
HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale
prior to the expiration of any extension
period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the
amount due.
If the high bidder is unable to close the
sale within the required period, or within
any extensions of time granted by the
Secretary, the high bidder may be
required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at
the election of the Foreclosure Commissioner after consultation with the HUD
Field Office representative, will be liable to
HUD for any costs incurred as a result of
such failure. The Commission may, at the
direction of the HUD Field Office Representative, offer the Property to the second
highest bidder for an amount equal to the
highest price offered by that bidder.
There is no right of redemption, or right
of possession based upon a right of
redemption, in the mortgagor or others
subsequent to a foreclosure completed
pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to
the purchaser upon receipt of the entire
purchase price in accordance with the
terms of the sale, as provided herein.
HUD does not guarantee that the property
will be vacant.
The mortgage cannot be “reinstated”
prior to sale, as the event triggering acceleration was not a default in payments.
Payment of the entire outstanding balance
of the mortgage debt is required to stop
the foreclosure. The “outstanding balance” includes amounts that would be due
under the mortgage agreement if payments under the mortgage had not been
accelerated, advertising costs, posting
costs and postage expenses incurred in
giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices,
reasonable and customary costs incurred
for title and lien record searches, the necessary out-of-pocket costs incurred by the
Foreclosure Commissioner for recording
documents, a commission for the Foreclosure and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to the
sale.

Man quits council
in fallout from
book of rants
RIVER EDGE, N.J. (AP) —
An Assembly candidate who
dropped out of the race after a
book of rants he wrote about
gays, breast-feeding moms and
others surfaced has resigned
from his council seat.
Republican Anthony Cappola
resigned from the council Friday,
River Edge Mayor Sandy
Moscaritolo told The Record.
Cappola acknowledged last
week that he wrote the book
titled “Outrageous!” 12 years
ago but said he wasn’t the same
person anymore.
The mayor said that he
worked well with Cappola and
that Cappola had contributed as
a council member, even using his
skills as a disc jockey to help at
public events.
Republicans denounced Cappola’s language in the book that
included saying gay people
should keep their “sexual preferences” ‘’behind doors like normal people do.”
Cappola took aim at numerous groups in the 223-page book,
which contained many spelling
and grammatical errors.
In one section he stereotypes
Asians as bad drivers. In another,
he tells breast-feeding moms to
“put it back wear in came
from!!!”
In a statement last week, Cappola said he was sorry if he
offended anyone and he took
responsibility for the book.
The Assembly is at the top of
the ticket this November, and
Republicans hope to challenge
Democrats for the majority in the
chamber. Democrats now control
it 48-32.
The seat in the northern New
Jersey district that Cappola had
been running for was considered
one of a handful of competitive
races in the November election.
NEW YORK
Ex-UN General
Assembly head
held for bribery
NEW YORK (AP) — Former
United Nations General Assembly President John Ashe accepted
more than $500,000 in bribes
from a Chinese real estate mogul
and other businesspeople in
exchange for help obtaining
lucrative investments and government contracts, according to
federal court documents
unsealed Tuesday.
In exchange for the money,
federal prosecutors say, Ashe
used his position as Permanent
Resident to the United Nations
for Antigua and Barbuda and
General Assembly head to introduce a U.N. document in support
of a real estate project being
developed by Chinese billionaire
Ng Lap Seng. The scheme
unfolded over the course of nearly three years, from 2011
through 2014, and included his
tenure as General Assembly
head, prosecutors said.
Ng and his assistant, also
named in the indictment, were
already being held by federal
authorities, accused of lying
about plans for $4.5 million in
cash brought into the U.S. over
several years aboard private jets.
It wasn’t immediately clear if
prosecutors believe any of the
money was used in the Antigua
bribery scheme. According to
court documents, Ashe used his
position to push the U.N. to promote a conference center in
Macau being developed by Ng.
The UN Macau Conference Center was to be Ng’s legacy and
would function as a sort of satellite operation for the world body,
according to prosecutors.
Prosecutors say some of the
bribe money was used to pay for
Ashe’s family vacation and to
construct a basketball court at
his home in Dobbs Ferry, New
York. He opened two bank
accounts to receive the funds and
then underreported his income
by more than $1.2 million, officials said. The businesspeople
flew Ashe, his wife and their two
children f irst-class to New
Orleans and put the family up in
an $850-a-night hotel room.
Ashe was arrested Tuesday
and is being held, and his legal
representation wasn’t clear. No
one answered a phone call to the
mission for Antigua; he is no
longer listed in the U.N. directory. A message left with a representative for the General Assembly wasn’t immediately returned.
In all, six people, including
another diplomat, Francis Lorenzo from the Dominican Republic, were ensnared in the probe.
A message was left at Lorenzo’s
mission.
The other two were involved
with Ng, prosecutors said. They
were identified as Sheri Yan and
Heidi Park, both naturalized U.S.
citizens who reside in China and
helped facilitate the scheme,
prosecutors said.
OHIO
Plea hearing set
for suspect in
$8.7 million theft
CINCINNATI (AP) — A
change-of-plea hearing is scheduled Oct. 23 for an accountant
who became a regular on the
Appalachian Trail in the six
years after he fled accusations
that he embezzled $8.7 million.
James Hammes, 53, of Lexington, Kentucky, will appear
before U.S. District Judge Susan
Dlott. The trial had been scheduled to begin Tuesday in Cincinnati, but court documents first
obtained by The Associated
Press show a plea deal was
reached.
No details have been released
about the plea agreement, which
is subject to court approval.
Hammes had earlier pleaded not
guilty on wire fraud and money
laundering charges from 2009.
Hammes’ attorney hasn’t
responded to messages for comment.
The FBI arrested Hammes
May 16 in Damascus, Virginia,
during the annual “Trail Days”
festival. People there say he was
known as an outgoing, bushybearded hiker called “Bismarck”
who had become a regular on the
popular Georgia-to-Maine hiking
trail.
The FBI said Hammes disappeared soon after being confronted in February 2009 about
money missing from the beverage bottler he worked for.
Authorities haven’t said what
they think happened to the
money or commented on his
whereabouts the last six years.
Trail guidebook writer David
Miller said Bismarck had a surprisingly high visibility, showing
up in photos in hikers’ journals
and on social media.
Hammes, a licensed pilot, had
claimed a successful investment
in a software company provided
extra money for scuba diving
trips to the Caribbean in the
years before his indictment,
according to former in-laws who
were interviewed for an episode
of the CNBC series “American
Greed.” A fellow hiker has been
credited with recognizing Bismarck from the show, leading to
Hammes’ eventual arrest.

OKLAHOMA
Lost evidence: Fingerprints rarely used in cases
Challenges include a hiring freeze and widely
varying policies among police departments
BY LUCIA WALINCHUS
The Daily Record Newswire
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK —
Charles Silsby’s wife, Patricia
Champion, had struggled with
depression for years before that
hot day in July of 2012.
Silsby and his son, Charles Jr.,
were supposed to help a friend fix
a well that morning. But their
truck refused to start. So Silsby
went back inside his Pawnee
County home and found his wife
with her hands tucked under her
arms, almost as if she were hiding
something.
And then Silsby realized what
it was: his gun.
Silsby said he tried to grab the
gun from her but in the ensuing
scuffle he pulled her chair over
and he fell. She was able to break
free and hold the gun to her ear.
Then she pulled the trigger.
In addition to the horror of
watching a loved one commit suicide, a fate Silsby says he wouldn’t wish on his worst enemy, Silsby got another surprise: a 15-year
jail sentence.
At his trial, Champion’s mother and doctor testified to her mental illness and thoughts of suicide.
But authorities could not get over
the fact that when they showed up
at his house, they found a dying
woman and Silsby had the gun.
The one piece of evidence that
could have exonerated Silsby, the
placement of the fingerprints on
the gun, was never taken.
Oklahoma police rarely fingerprint crime scenes, except for the
most serious of cases, such as
rape, murder, and arson. And even
in those cases, evidence is sometimes handled by police, without
gloves, before being shipped to a
lab for analysis. The vast majority
of felonies, however, are not fingerprinted at all. Fingerprinting is
especially rare in rural areas.
Both Oklahoma City and Tulsa
have their own crime labs to analyze prints, though neither has a
specif ic policy on when police
should fingerprint a scene. The
Oklahoma City Police Department f ingerprinted 630 crime
scenes last year. Tulsa Police
spokesman Leland Ashley said
that while they do not keep statistics on f inger printing, every
patrol car is equipped with a fingerprinting kit and officers may
fingerprint any scene at their discretion.
The Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs,
which handles illegal substances,
rarely submits evidence for fingerprinting, spokesman Mark
Woodward said. Woodward said
that such evidence usually only
turns up the prints of low-level
packers in Mexico, though fingerprint evidence can be helpful in
methamphetamine cases, where
police can track the drug to its
local source. Instead, the bureau
prefers to question suspects about
the drug’s origins, he said.
Capt. Paul Timmons, public
affairs commander at the Okla-
homa Highway Patrol, said officers do not have fingerprinting
kits in their patrol cars, but do
have the ability to call in other
police departments if forensic evidence is needed.
The vast majority of fingerprint identification throughout the
state falls to the Oklahoma State
Bureau of Investigation, which
performs crime scene services for
police departments, sheriff ’s
offices, the Oklahoma Highway
Patrol and the Oklahoma Bureau
of Narcotics and Dangerous
Drugs.
But the OSBI has a big job to
do. In the last f iscal year, it
responded to 428 requests from
police and sheriff
off ices to assist
in their investigation. In comparison, in 2013,
Oklahoma agencies
reported
142,999 index
crimes, including
murder, rape,
robbery, aggravated assault,
burglary, larceny
and auto theft.
Non-index
crimes include
the majority of
felonies, such as
drug possession,
driving under the
influence, and
possession of a
gun by a felon. In
2013, the last
year for which numbers are available, police made 24,513 arrests
for index crimes and 135,892
arrests for all other offenses.
The OSBI tends to receive
calls for more serious offenses,
but technically can be called in
for any crime, said spokeswoman
Jessica Brown.
OSBI Criminalist Administrator Jim Stokes said there are 11
people, including a supervisor, in
the latent print unit, and he would
like to hire more but can’t with
the current hiring freeze.
The fingerprint unit faces other
hurdles as well. Because of widely varying policies at different
police units, sometimes analysts
look at fingerprints after a defendant has already entered a guilty
plea. Occasionally they receive
tainted evidence. One analyst
recently spent 24 working hours
on a case, only to identify all the
prints as the officer’s.
But the biggest challenge is
police departments that gather
fingerprints and only run them in
their local database, instead of
also checking the OSBI’s state
database and the FBI’s national
database, Stokes said.
“It’s tremendously being
underutilized,” he said. “Within
the last couple years, we’ve actually helped solve several old cold
cases utilizing this link to the
FBI.”
In Oklahoma, a person doesn’t
have to be physically holding contraband in order to be arrested and
charged with a possession crime.
Under the doctrine of Constructive Possession, the government
must prove that the defendant
knew of and controlled the material. If police find drugs in a suspect’s bedroom, for example, the
law recognizes that chances are
those drugs belonged to the suspect. A more difficult question
arises when multiple people share
the same space.
On a late April night in 2007,
Markice McCane went out with
his buddy Joseph Carr. Carr was
drinking, McCane was the driver.
When they were pulled over,
McCane immediately admitted to
the Oklahoma City Police officer
led to a fingerprint on each bullet.
The gun also had enamel spray
paint on it, which is a good fingerprint material. Campbell said
fingerprint evidence is far from
perfect, but in general he would
like to see more fingerprinting.
“I would rather have something, and be able to deal with it,
than to have the void," Campbell
said. "Because there’s nothing I
can do with a void.”
The U.S. Department of Justice
declined to comment for this article.
Exactly why police don’t often
f inger print is a matter of hot
debate.
Police experts caution that
although fingerprinting is more
than 100 years old, it’s still a complicated science.
John Bond, a senior lecturer in
criminology at the University of
Leicester in
the
United
Kingdom, said
the material to
f ingerprint is
crucial: nonporous surfaces, such as
metal
and
glass, work
well for f ingerprinting;
porous surfaces such as
paper
and
cardstock are a
little more
tricky
and
require
a
chemical treatment. Other
surfaces yield
nothing.
Bond spent
20 years in the Northamptonshire
Police and received an Order of
the British Empire award for his
contributions to forensic science.
Bond helped to pioneer a method
that identifies fingerprints after a
shot has been fired by examining
corrosion on the bullet itself. But
he noted that method is only
about 5 percent successful, and a
typical sweep of a burglary scene
might yield prints only about 50
percent of the time.
“Probably the biggest misconception is the ease with which
(fingerprints) can be identified,"
he said. "So, for example, on CSI,
the print will be loaded, and in a
minute or two it comes up with a
‘match’ or ‘no match,’ and it pops
up on the screen with all the characteristics marked up. It never
happens that way. It’s still very
much a manual exercise to properly identify fingerprints.”
But critics contend that police
should at least attempt to collect
more forensic evidence.
Mayes County attorney Misty
Fields said that in more than five
years of practice, she has only
seen fingerprinting evidence one
time. She said she is able to
request fingerprints if necessary,
but often can’t do so on the limited public defender’s budget.
Fields estimated that about half of
her cases involve possession, but
she said that police never fingerprint for possession cases, even if
the question of who owned what
is in dispute.
A recent study of cases in
California and Indiana found
that examination of forensic
evidence at a crime scene
increased the likelihood that a
case would result in charges,
conviction at trial, and a longer
sentence.
that he had been driving without a
license.
With McCane handcuffed in
the back seat, the officer searched
the car, which belonged to
McCane’s mother-in-law. In the
driver’s side door, wrapped in
cloth, the officer found an unregistered gun. Instead of preserving
the evidence, the officer, without
gloves, unloaded the gun.
Oklahoma City Public Information Officer Sgt. Ashley Peters
said that is the department’s standard practice, and that securing
the area is an important policy.
“If there’s a weapon that’s in
the middle of a crime scene, that’s
nowhere near where anyone can
touch it, and the crime scene
needs to remain that way until
crime scene investigators can
arrive, there’s a potential that
weapon can be loaded and stay
there," she said. "It always
depends on the situation and each
situation is going to vary, but
safety is always going to be number one."
McCane’s trial lawyer, Bill
Campbell, said that although
McCane exercised his right to
silence at the trial, McCane vigorously insisted that the gun was not
his. Eight years later, McCane is
still sitting in prison for possession of a firearm by a felon.
Campbell said it was especially
a shame that the gun was not fingerprinted because on that particular model, each bullet had to be
hand-loaded, which would have
For example, last year, Fields
had a case in which police
stopped a car with four people
and a backpack of drugs. Since no
one admitted owning the drugs,
the district attorney charged all
four with possession.
Her client assured her not to
worry, that the drugs were not his,
and that his fingerprints would
not be found anywhere on the
backpack. That’s when Fields had
to have the difficult discussion:
Oklahoma rarely f ingerprints,
especially for possession cases.
Fields said she thought it was
ridiculous to think that four people could jointly own a backpack,
but said that her client, a firsttime offender, did not want trial
publicity and felt pressure to
plead guilty to the drugs he didn’t
own.
Both the district attorney and
the client declined multiple
requests for an interview.
A recent study published in the
Journal of Forensic Science
looked at 4,205 cases in city, state
and county jurisdictions in California and Indiana, specifically
focused on six crimes: homicide,
rape, aggravated assault, burglary
and robbery. It found that examination of forensic evidence at a
crime scene increased the likelihood that a case would result in
charges, conviction at trial, and a
longer sentence. Forensic crime
scene evidence increased arrests
to 47 percent, compared to 20
percent in cases in which no such
evidence was collected. Suspects
were then charged in 32 percent
of cases in which police collected
forensic evidence, in contrast to
just 14 percent of cases with no
forensic evidence.
Matthew Hickman is a Ph.D. at
Seattle University and co-author
of the article on the study, Effect
of Forensic Evidence on Criminal
Justice Case Processing. He said
that although crime rates are diligently reported, crime evidence
and outcomes are much harder to
track and deserve further study.
Hickman said a lack of data on
such forensic evidence compelled
the Bureau of Justice Statistics to
conduct a survey on U.S. crime
labs when he worked there in
2009. An analyst at the agency,
Matthew Durose, said BJS conducted a follow-up study in 2014
but the data is still under review
and results will not come out until
early next year, so there is no current data available.
A brief survey of other states
found that jurisdictions that fingerprint more often tend to be
larger, but not necessarily.
Jodi Silva of the Houston
Police Department said all patrol
stations are equipped with fingerprint kits, and while they do not
keep statistics on how often the
kits are used, officers will fingerprint anytime there is an opportunity to collect additional evidence.
Senior Cpl. Tramese Andrews
of the Dallas Police Department
said that officers in her city also
fingerprint at their discretion. She
said that last year they processed
more than 16,000 crime scenes
and were able to recover prints in
more than half of the cases.

CALIFORNIA
Governor signs hard-won right-to-die legislation
Religious groups and advocates for people with disabilities opposed the bill
BY JUDY LIN
Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, California
(AP) — California will become
the fifth U.S. state to allow terminally ill patients to legally end
their lives using doctor-prescribed
drugs after Gov. Jer ry Brown
announced Monday he had signed
the legislation.
Brown, a lifelong Catholic and
former Jesuit seminarian,
announced he signed the legislation after thoroughly considering
all opinions and discussing the
issue with many people, including
a Catholic bishop and two of
Brown’s doctors.
“In the end, I was left to reflect
on what I would want in the face
of my own death,” the governor
wrote in a signing statement that
accompanied his signature on the
legislation. “I do not know what I
would do if I were dying in prolonged and excruciating pain. I
am certain, however, that it would
be a comfort to be able to consider the options afforded by this
bill.
He added he wouldn’t deny
that right to others.
Until now, Brown had declined
to comment on the issue.
State lawmakers approved the
bill on Sept. 11. Aa previous version failed this year despite the
highly publicized case of 29-yearold Brittany Maynard, a California woman with brain cancer who
moved to Oregon where she could
legally end her life.
Opponents said the bill legalizes premature suicide, but supporters call that comparison inap-
propriate because it applies to
mentally sound, terminally ill people and not those who are
depressed or impaired.
Religious groups and advocates for people with disabilities
opposed the bill and nearly identical legislation that had stalled in
the Legislature weeks earlier, saying it goes against the will of God
and puts terminally ill patients at
risk for coerced death.
The measure was brought back
as part of a special session intended to address funding shortfalls
for the state’s health insurance
program for the poor. The governor had criticized the move to
bypass the usual process.
The bill he received includes
requirements that the patient be
physically capable of taking the
medication themselves, that two
doctors approve it, that the patient
submit several written requests,
and that there be two witnesses,
one of whom is not a family
member.
California’s measure came
after at least two dozen states
introduced aid-in-dying legislation this year, though the measures stalled elsewhere. Doctors
in Oregon, Washington state, Vermont and Montana already can
prescribe life-ending drugs.
Maynard’s family attended the
legislative debate in California
throughout the year. Maynard’s
mother, Debbie Ziegler, testified
in committee hearings and carried a large picture of her daughter as she listened to lawmakers’
debate.
In a video recorded days before
Maynard took life-ending drugs,
she told California lawmakers that
no one should have to leave home
to legally kill themselves under
the care of a doctor.
“No one should have to leave
their home and community for
peace of mind, to escape suffering, and to plan for a gentle
death,” Maynard said in the video
released by right-to-die advocates
after her death.
The Catholic Church targeted
Catholic lawmakers before the
bill’s passage and urged the governor to veto it.
“Pope Francis invites all of us
to create our good society by seeing through the eyes of those who
are on the margins, those in need
economically, physically, psychologically and socially,” the California Catholic Conference said in
a statement after its passage.

ELIZABETH MILLARD, THE DAILY RECORD NEWSWIRE
Boost productivity with
these hacks and apps
Technology can be hugely
helpful when it comes to communicating with colleagues and
clients, speeding up document
revisions, and finding information like a professional sleuth —
but as most people experience, it
also has a dark side.
In our always-on society, people answer work emails in the
middle of the night, even if
they’re on vacation. Chiming in
on a project or sending a “quick
message” to a client can be done
while waiting in line for coffee,
but even with these strategies, it
can feel like you’re never fully
caught up. And that sensation of
running behind can affect productivity. But there are simple,
small ways to get on track.
“Setting unrealistic expectations for yourself sets you up for
failure,” notes Lar ry Kim,
founder and CTO of Internet
marketing software company
WordStream. “Don’t be afraid to
start with baby steps and work
up from there.”
In order to be more efficient
and productive, he says it pays to
create better tactics around technology usage. Here are three that
can help:
1. Turn off alerts: Depending
on how you set up your smartphone or laptop, you may get
notifications for a wide variety
of applications, from email to
social media messages. “It’s terribly tough to get into your Zen
zone when your phone is
buzzing every few minutes,”
Kim says.
The first step is to shut the
notifications off, and the next is
to schedule a block of time to
deal with all those emails and
requests. This doesn’t have to be
a large chunk of hours — in
fact, it’s much easier if you create a brief window with a
defined timeframe. For example,
you might decide to answer
emails during the first 10 minutes of every hour, and any
email that can’t be handed in
that time gets pushed to a larger
afternoon block that you’ve set
for yourself. Then, use your
smartphone to set a timer of
exactly 10 minutes. Although
this “beat the clock” approach
may seem anxiety provoking, it
can actually feel like an exhilarating game.
2. Find an app that works for
you: Not surprisingly, productivity tools abound in the app
world, allowing you to schedule
social media posts, save articles
to read later, and keep all your
passwords in one place. Two
that are especially helpful for
time management are Toggl and
Yast.
Attorneys and other legal
professionals are already familiar with tracking time to ascertain billable hours, so adding a
simple app for other time management can be easy. Also,
teams can use these apps, so you
might run a small department on
one of these apps in order to do
reporting and project management.
Another popular app is Evernote, which allows you to create
digital notebooks for keeping
track of expenses, managing
your calendar, planning trips,
and keeping notes. Users often
rave about how they only have to
take photos of meeting briefs or
receipts and the app will organize those into digital repositories.
3. Get help from IT: What
stresses you out the most? Trying to catch up on email, or
learning new tech systems?
Maybe both? Whatever it might
be, one top strategy is to ask for
help — which is often as close
as your nearest IT employee. It’s
possible that you’re getting too
much junk mail, which may
require a f iner mesh on your
spam filter, or you need a oneon-one lesson in the big security
protocols that IT just implemented.
Having employees embrace
change by getting insight from
IT is always welcome among
technology professionals, says
Jeremiah Talamantes, founder
and managing partner of Minneapolis-based consulting firm
RedTeam Security. “If your outlook is that technology is making you anxious or tense, there
are ways to approach that,” he
notes. “IT is there to reduce friction, so approaching them will
help you enlist some powerful
allies in your drive toward
becoming more productive and
less stressed.”
Most likely, even after implementing signif icant changes,
you may still feel like you’re
always on the run. But putting
these controls around technology usage can be helpful for feeling like you’re running toward a
productivity goal, rather than
always trying to catch up.

HAMBURG TOWNSHIP
Boy Scout builds rocket launch pad in for Eagle Scout project
Teen hopes other Scouts will use launch pad to earn merit badges
BY JENNIFER EBERBACH
Livingston Daily Press & Argus
HAMBURG TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP)
— A Hartland High School student has created a place for rocket enthusiasts to reach
for the stars.
“My main objective was to give (people)
a safe area to launch their model rockets,”
Eagle Scout candidate Jack Parzuchowski,
a Hartland High School senior and member
of Boy Scout Troop 381, told the Livingston Daily Press & Argus (
http://bit.ly/1G7yjIq ).
For his final Eagle Scout project, Parzuchowski designed and built a concrete
launch pad near the small airfield where
the Hamburg Flyers Radio Control Club
meets to fly model airplanes at Manly W.
Bennett Memorial Park in Hamburg Township.
The township-owned park “had an old
issue where people would launch their own
rockets in the soccer f ields or baseball
fields,” he said.
“Now technically, anything that goes up
in the air should be launched back by us
(Hamburg Flyers Radio Control Club),”
said Parzuchowski, who is a member of the
model-airplane flying club.
One major rule: You must do it when a
member of the Hamburg Flyers is there.
He said to set up a time to launch a
rocket, contact Hamburg Flyers through its
website, http://hamburgflyers.org, and
someone will respond.
“It is supposed to be monitored by the
club for safety and insurance, even though
it’s on township-owned land,” Parzuchowski said.
There are other rules for using the
launch pad, which will be posted.
Parzuchowski entertained other ideas for
his Eagle Scout project, like putting up a
flagpole, but then he heard that Hamburg
Township officials had discussed creating a
designated area for model rockets.
He wanted to be the one to make it happen.
Boy Scouts can earn a merit badge for
“building a rocket and actually launching
it,” he said.
“I hope Scouts will go there to do their
merit badges. There are not (many other)
places you can do it safely,” he said.
He said people could fly model helicopters there, too.
Several members of Hamburg Flyers
Radio Control Club already launch them
from their small airfield.
“It could bring in new (club) members
and that would really help us reach out to
have more volunteers,” Parzuchowski said.
He was proud of his Eagle Scout project,
which he coordinated from start to finish.
“I first drew up the plan way back in
February, started designing it all and then I
got some redesigns on it,” and Hamburg
Flyers President Eugene Doncea did some
modifications before it giving it his stamp
of approval, Parzuchowski said.
He also learned about the local political
process. He presented the idea to township
officials at public meetings, answered questions and made some modifications.
He also had help from fellow Scouts and
others, who came out to the park to help
him pour concrete and install safety fencing.
He wanted to thank all the people who
helped him fundraise $700 for materials.
Looking to his future, the high school
senior wants “to go into aviation,” maybe
heading to either Eastern Michigan University of Northwestern Community College
in Traverse City for college.
“I want to be an airline pilot,” he said.
“I’ve flown in several single-engine
Cessna (airplanes) and done ground school
for a private pilot’s license, but no flight
hours yet,” the aspiring pilot said.
Before Parzuchowski officially becomes
a full-fledged Eagle Scout — he is a candidate for the honor — his final project will
go before different boards for reviews. He
also has a few merit badges left to do.
He said he expects the launch pad “to
benefit the community and the township”
as a new recreational option that also promotes safety, he said.

Dozens of deaths likely from VW pollution dodge
Experts say death toll in Europe could be as high as hundreds each year
BY SETH BORENSTEIN
AP Science Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) — Volkswagen’s pollution-control chicanery has not just been victimless tinkering, killing between
five and 20 people in the United
States annually in recent years,
according to an Associated Press
statistical and computer analysis.
The software that the company
admitted using to get around government emissions limits allowed
VWs to spew enough pollution to
cause somewhere between 16 and
94 deaths over seven years, with
the annual count increasing more
recently as more of the diesels
were on the road. The total cost
has been well over $100 million.
That’s just in the United States.
It’s likely far deadlier and costlier
in Europe, where more VW
diesels were sold, engineers said.
Scientists and experts said the
death toll in Europe could be as
high as hundreds each year,
though they caution that it is hard
to take American health and air
quality computer models and
translate them to a more densely
populated Europe.
“Statistically, we can’t point
out who died because of this policy, but some people have died or
likely died as a result of this,” said
Carnegie Mellon environmental
engineer professor Peter Adams.
He calculates the cost of air pollution with a sophisticated computer
model that he and the AP used in
its analysis.
Computer software allowed
VW diesel cars to spew between
10 to 40 times more nitrogen
oxides (NOx) than allowed by
regulation, making this “clearly a
concern for air quality and public
health,” said Janet McCabe, acting air quality chief for the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency.
Nitrogen oxides mostly form
smog — that murky, dirty air that
makes it hard to see and for some
people to breathe — but also
amplify a deadlier, larger problem: tiny particles of soot.
Numerous medical studies show
those tiny particles cause about
50,000 deaths a year in the United
States, mostly from heart problems.
Nitrogen oxides can travel hundreds of miles, so pollution
spewed in Pittsburgh can be felt
on the East Coast, Adams said.
Experts calculate how much
pollution costs society by looking
at the value of lost lives. In this
case, Adams and other said the
lost lives — valued at $8.6 million
apiece — overwhelm other costs
such as lost work days or hospital
costs. The overall annual cost of
the extra pollutants from the VW
diesels ranged from $40 million
to $170 million, environmental
engineering professors calculated.
“Even the small increase in
NOx from VW diesel emissions is
likely to have worsened pollution
along the roadways where they
have traveled, and affected the
lives of hundreds of thousands of
people,” said Dan Greenbaum,
president of the Health Effects
Institute in Boston.
“To say millions of people of
people are breathing poor air as
the result of that is not off the
mark,” said Greenbaum, who runs
the institute that is funded by both
the EPA and the auto industry to
serve as an independent arbiter of
the science.
In a response Saturday night to
an earlier request for comment,
Volkswagen said the EPA has
noted that the affected vehicles do
not present a safety hazard and
are legal to drive. “General allegations regarding links between
NOX emissions from these affected vehicles and specific health
effects are unverified. We have
received no conf irmed reports
that the emissions from such vehicles caused any actual health
problem,” the company said in a
statement.
The calculations should be put
in context of air that is getting
dramatically cleaner in the United
States, experts said. Also, the
deaths from extra pollution are
dwarfed by the 35,000 people in
the U.S. a year who die in auto
accidents and are closer to the
annual U.S. death toll of spider or
snake bites.
The AP calculated how much
pollution was spewed year by
year, starting with that broad 10
times to 40 times emissions level
estimate from the EPA, then factoring in mileage and car number
totals from EPA, the car company
and Kelley Blue Book.
The results show an upper and
lower limit of extra nitrogen
oxides pollution allowed by VW’s
subterfuge. The AP took those
figures to scientists who previously created a sophisticated computer program that looks at air movement and numerous epidemiological studies on the health effects of
pollutants. The result was a rough
estimate on deaths and costs to
society based on a certain amount
of pollution triggering each death.
The EPA has its own open
source computer model that calculates death and social costs of
emissions, roughly f inding it
takes nearly 1,300 tons of nitrogen oxides to cause one death.
Using that calculation and AP’s
emission totals, the total death
figures over the past seven years
range from 12 to 69, slightly
lower than the AP calculations.
The AP ran its calculations and
results by more than a dozen
experts in emissions, risk and
public health. They all confirmed
the calculations and results
seemed right. One scientist had
even done a statistical analysis on
his own and came independently
to the same conclusion. The
experts were mostly university
professors or from research institutes. They were not environmental advocates or representatives of
auto companies.
But engineers caution that
these f igures come with many
caveats and are ballpark estimates. They rely on many
assumptions and a range of potential emissions per car. Air pollution impacts on people are usually
calculated on a local level because
that’s where it is felt, and it
changes from place to place. But
these calculations were broadened
to a national level, which adds
more uncertainty.
The computer simulation that
made the death calculations use
conservative medical studies as
their baseline. Other epidemiological studies would more than double the deaths and health costs,
said Adams and model co-creator
Jinhyok Heo of Cornell University.
Chris Frey, an engineering professor at North Carolina State
University, has been testing the
VW diesels in real world conditions, driving more than 100 miles
with monitors in the car tailpipes.
He found pollution 10 times higher than the federal standard, and
noticed that the worst pollution
came as he got on to highways
and in stop-and-go traffic. Those
less desirable areas are where
poorer people live, Greenbaum
and other experts said.
Since 2008, VW sold more
than 10 million VW diesel cars in
Europe, compared with less than
half a million in the United States.
In Europe, the population is more
densely packed in urban areas,
making them more vulnerable to
added air pollution, several
experts said.
“Assuming most of the cars are
in Europe, it’s pretty simple to
estimate that it could go as high
as hundreds,” said Robert Rohde,
a physicist and lead scientist at
the Berkeley Earth team that has
estimated death tolls of air pollution in the past.

LANSING
Factory worker
wins $310.5M
Powerball ticket
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A
supervisor at a Michigan fiberglass factory who won a $310.5
million Powerball jackpot immediately quit her “nasty, dirty” job
and will build houses for her family.
Julie Leach of Three Rivers
said Tuesday she was having a
“really bad night” working the
third shift when she took her
lunch break at McDonald’s. She
checked the five numbers in the
drive-thru line.
“I keep going to sleep and
waking up with the same beautiful
dream,” the 50-year-old told
reporters in a news conference at
the Michigan Lottery headquarters. Her partner of 36 years,
Vaughn Avery, and some of their
children and grandchildren looked
on.
“I’m going to take care of my
kids,” Leach said. “I don’t want
them to have to work like I had to
work and deal with the kinds of
things I had to deal with over life.
I just want to make it a good life
for them, take care of them.”
She took a one-time lump payment of $197.4 million, about
$140 million after taxes.
Leach played in a lottery pool
with her co-workers. But she
stopped to buy $20 worth of extra
tickets at the Three Rivers West
Shell gas station on the way to
work Wednesday night. At first,
she did not believe she had won,
returning to the Aquatic Bathware
plant to ask co-workers to verify
it. Then she went home and woke
up Avery.
“He wanted to go to work. I
said, ‘Are you crazy? We don’t
have to work anymore,’” Leach
said.
“We’ve always talked around
campf ires and stuff, that if we
ever won the lottery we wanted to
buy a bunch of land and build all
of our kids a home and basically
have our own little community.”

DETROIT (AP) — A judge
has ordered the federal government to refund $150,000 to heirs
of a Detroit pension fund lawyer
who died before being sent to
prison for his role in a bribery and
kickback scandal.
The Detroit News reports that
weeks before 71-year-old Ronald
Zajac died in July at his home in
Wayne County’s Northville Township he made the payment for his
role in the corruption scandal
under a forfeiture order.
Zajac was awaiting sentencing
after he and two others were
found guilty of conspiracy. On
Monday, U.S. District Judge
Nancy Edmunds vacated the conviction, dismissed the indictment
and ordered the money sent to
Zajac’s estate because he died
pending an appeal.
The Detroit Free Press reports
that prosecutors wanted to return
the money to pensioners, including police officers and retirees.

FINGERPRINTS:
Evidence was contaminated
From Page 18
Trooper Nate Reid of the Colorado Highway Patrol said officers hardly ever collect fingerprint evidence, except for rare
cases such as encountering a
stolen car. Reid said the CHP
prefers to question suspects about
the origin of the contraband
instead.
D’Anna Markley of the Los
Angeles Police Department said
they fingerprinted 14,377 scenes
last year and have specially
trained f ingerprint personnel,
both civilian and officer.
Jonathan Howard of the
Phoenix police force said that all
officers have black powder fingerprint kits in their cars and are
trained to take prints if, in their
opinion, prints are needed.
Howard said they also take DNA
evidence, and are often able to
determine who last touched an
object just by swabbing it.
In Oklahoma, despite no history of violence, Silsby was convicted of second-degree murder in
2013. The Court of Criminal
Appeals affirmed his conviction
last year in an unpublished decision.
Silsby said he originally told
officers that his wife’s death was
an accident because he was traumatized and he didn’t want anyone else to know she killed herself. He was especially concerned
about his two youngest sons, who
were not home when she pulled
the trigger. The state said if the
gun did accidentally go off while
Silsby was holding it he is still
guilty of second-degree murder;
specifically a death that occurs
while pointing a loaded gun at
someone.
Silsby said that if police had
taken f ingerprints, they would
have found evidence that backed
up his story: hers from where she
had shot herself and his from
where he had taken it away after
he finally got to her. Instead, the
officer who arrived at the scene
took the gun and, without gloves,
placed it in a bag to give to the
OSBI. The OSBI noted the contaminated evidence.
Today, in the wide, arid
expanse of western Oklahoma, the
Wichita Mountains rise like testaments to the timelessness of the
hard stone that created them. Set
in their foothills is a tall stone
fortress, with a top ring of barbed
wire that gleams in the desert sun.
Inside lives Charles Silsby Sr.,
who has another 13 years to think
about the worst day of his life.
“I told her once that I wanted
to die in her arms, Silsby said.
“She was 10 years younger than
me, so I always thought it would
be that way.”
Instead, he held his dying wife
of 18 years, and each time she
stopped breathing, he squeezed
her to get the blood flowing again.
And he screamed for his son to
call 911.
And he screamed, “Why did
you do this?”
And he screamed and he
sobbed and he cried into an ear
that just kept bleeding.

Michigan attorney co-edits ABA
book on Section 1983 litigation
Section 1983 litigation claims are as legally and
factually complex as ever. Every official policy or
conduct of state government is potentially subject to a
suit on some constitutional or statutory theory of liability – such as tracing the lines of authority that set
forth the parameters for an illegal search and seizure
claim, or examining the emerging retaliation theories
brought by public employees.
A newly updated American Bar Association book,
“Sword and Shield: A Practical Approach to Section
1983 Litigation, Fourth Edition” provides readers
with a practical approach to Section 1983 litigation, a
technically difficult and ever-evolving area of law.
Edited by Edwin P. Voss Jr and Mary Massaron,
this book:
• Offers a comprehensive review of the fundamentals of Section 1983 litigation
• Examines procedural intricacies of Section 1983
litigation in federal court
• Discusses Section 1983 litigation in state court,
including a discussion of state court jurisdiction,
forum choice considerations and the methodology of
state court Section 1983 litigation
• Reviews a defense-oriented view of municipal
liability under Section 1983
• Probes police misconduct claims in the context
of the complex search-and-seizure rules that police
must follow under the Fourth Amendment
• Explores the constitutional rights of public
employees
• Examines the Section 1983 land-use case from
its inception to the Supreme Court’s recent expansion
of the right of property owners
• Reviews students’ constitutional rights in public
school settings
• Lists individual immunity defenses under Section
1983
• To assist understanding of the intricacies of Section 1983 and updates in the law since its last publication in 2006, the book contains expert analysis regarding every issue you might face in a Section 1983 case.
