1,852 area customers affected by Thursday power outage

IRONWOOD — Much of the
Gogebic Range experienced a
four-hour power outage on
Thursday afternoon.
The lights went out around
2:30 p.m. and residents along
McLeod Avenue didn’t have electricity until 6:26 p.m., although
services were restored earlier
than that in other parts of the
city. Some residences didn’t get
power until 7:30 p.m., however.
A spokesman from Xcel Energy’s Eau Claire office said Thursday evening that the power outage affected 1,852 customers.
There were reports the outage
extended to the Bergland area,
but Hurley and Kimball had
power, while Ironwood was out.
The Ironwood Public Safety
Department responded to 3:30
p.m. Thursday report of a fire in
a substation building across from
the Xcel Energy offices on Douglas Boulevard.
The fire may have been related to the outage.
IPSD
director
Andrew
DiGiorgio said the fire was out
by the time most firefighters
arrived. He said it was a small
fire that had the smell of an electrical nature. He said the power
outage didn’t affect all area communities because there are three
service lines of power on the
Gogebic Range.
While commerce carried on as
usual in downtown Hurley,
downtown Ironwood businesses
were dark during the four-hour
outage, but electricity was
restored earlier along Cloverland
Drive.
The public safety department
and Grand View Hospital were
operating on emergency genera-
tors, as was the Michigan State
Police Post in Wakefield.
State police planned to pick up
some patrol cars that had been in
for service at the Lahti Chevrolet
garage in downtown Ironwood
from Frank Lahti, but that plan
was postponed because the electric garage doors were out of
commission, just one example of
hardships created by the outage.
Luckily, the temperature had
warmed up a bit, to around 40 by
the afternoon, and the north
wind had slacked off.
Watersmeet did not experience an outage, according to
town officials.
“It could have been worse,”
said Gogebic County Sheriff’s
Department dispatcher Deb
Elsemored. She said the downtown Ironwood area was the last
Gogebic Range location to have
power restored.

U.P. Economic Development Alliance seeks employment data
Data is being collected through the start
of November for the Upper Peninsula
Community and Economic County Profile
project for the Upper Peninsula Economic
Development Alliance, funded by Northern
Michigan University, Donna Scorse, economic developer, said.
Scorse is seeking figures of full-time
employees of major employers as of Dec.
31, 2012, in Gogebic and Ontonagon
counties. “There is no minimum or maximum number of employees a business
needs to employ to qualify as a major
employer,” Scorse said.
“We’d like to seek full cooperation from
area employers,” said Scorse. “The data is
so important to the area, especially for
those interested in developing new businesses, or developing employee retraining
programs, as well as attracting employees.”
Other uses for data include identification of challenges at the community, county and regional levels, Scorse said.

BERGLAND — The fire that
destroyed the Bergland grocery
store last week left the Rich and
Tina Lorendo family without a
home, as they were renting an
apartment behind the store.
Luckily, the family and its
three cats escaped safely, but their
belongings did not fare as well.
The family has been staying in a
hotel in Bergland, and on Thursday were moving to Ironwood, as
they were unable to find suitable
housing locally.
The family went through a fire
once before, when its last home
sustained a gas explosion.
On Saturday, the Ewen-Trout
Creek School is hosting a
soup/sandwich/bake sale to raise
funds for the Lorendos. People

HURLEY — The Iron County Mining Impact Committee
meeting Thursday got heated
when residents of Mellen,
Madeline Island, Washburn,
Montreal, Ashland and Montreal spoke.
Public comment was closed
after personal attacks began.
Barbara With, Madeline
Island, videotaped the meeting,
and said, “No one is doubting
the time you are putting into
this, but you can’t determine
the impact of the mine with the
wrong information.”
ICMIC chair Leslie Kolesar,
of Saxon, said earlier in the
meeting the last joint Mining
Impact Committee on Oct. 16
with Ashland County was
“adversarial,” and although the
ICMIC has tried to work with
Ashland’s committee, it seems
their aim is to reject the possibility of a mine altogether.
Kolesar said Ashland’s committee does not invite GogebicTaconite to its meetings
because members do not trust
the company.
Michelle Haglund, of Mellen,
asked why the ICMIC is even
conversing with G-Tac. She
said G-Tac officials have proven
to be “incompetent and untrustworthy. It’s pure insanity.”
Jeff Silbert, of Chequamegon
Bay, said he understands the
economic imperatives that
drive support for the mine, but,
“G-Tac is not the way to
achieve them. If you put all
your eggs in the G-Tac basket,
they will be broken. I hope I am
dead wrong.”
Legislation introduced by
state Sen. Tom Tiffany, of
Hazelhurst, Senate Bill 349,
was also discussed during public comment.
Roy Foryan, of Hurley, said
it is discouraging that Tiffany
is trying to take away local control and hoped the committee
would oppose the bill.
Kolesar said as a committee,
the ICMIC made the choice not
to take a stand on the issue,
although members may have
their own opinions.

Dallas police seek indictment for fired officer
DALLAS (AP) — Dallas police
will seek a grand jury indictment
against an officer who was fired
after shooting a mentally ill man
in a disputed incident caught on
tape, police said Thursday.
Police Chief David Brown apologized for the actions of Officer
Cardan Spencer, who had been on
administrative leave following
the Oct. 14 shooting.
Brown said at a news conference that Spencer had been fired
and was charged with felony
aggravated assault, but police
later issued a statement saying a
judge directed detectives to take
the case to a grand jury.
“Officers are not above the
law,” Brown said at the news con-
ference. “We as a police department are not going to look the
other way.”
Spencer wrote in a police
report that he shot Bobby Gerald
Bennett last week after the 52year-old man lunged at him and
another officer with a knife. But
video captured by a neighbor’s
surveillance camera shows Bennett didn’t appear to move toward
the officers before he was shot
and crumpled to the ground.
Brown said two people who
had witnessed the shooting from
a nearby parked vehicle later
came forward and corroborated
what could be seen on the video.
He said investigators interviewed Bennett in his hospital
room Friday and he told them he
was suicidal at the time and
wanted to be shot.
Bennett remains hospitalized
in stable condition. He initially
was charged with aggravated
assault with a deadly weapon on
a public servant, but Brown
announced last week that the
charge would be dropped.
Ron Pinkston, president of the
Dallas Police Association, said
Spencer
believes
he
was
“betrayed by a department that
he was trying to serve.” He said
no complaint had ever been filed
against Spencer in his nearly
seven years with the force, adding
that he worked some of the toughest neighborhoods in the city.

THE DAILY GLOBE • YOURDAILYGLOBE.COM
BRUSSELS (AP) — European
leaders united in anger as they
attended a summit overshadowed
by reports of widespread U.S.
spying on its allies — allegations
German Chancellor Angela
Merkel said had shattered trust
in the Obama administration and
undermined the crucial transAtlantic relationship.
The latest revelations that the
U.S. National Security Agency
swept up more than 70 million
phone records in France and may
have tapped Merkel’s own cellphone brought denunciations
from the French and German
governments.
Merkel’s unusually stern
remarks Thursday as she arrived
at the European Union gathering
indicated she wasn’t placated by
a phone conversation she had
Wednesday
with
President
Barack Obama, or his personal
assurances that the U.S. is not
listening in on her calls now.
“We need trust among allies
and partners,” Merkel told
reporters in Brussels. “Such trust
now has to be built anew. This is
what we have to think about.”
“The United States of America
and Europe face common challenges. We are allies,” the German leader said. “But such an
alliance can only be built on
trust. That’s why I repeat again:
spying among friends, that cannot be.”
The White House may soon
face other irked heads of state
and government. The British
newspaper The Guardian said
Thursday it obtained a confidential memo suggesting the NSA
was able to monitor 35 world
leaders’ communications in 2006.
The memo said the NSA encouraged senior officials at the White
House, Pentagon and other agencies to share their contacts so the
spy agency could add foreign
leaders’ phone numbers to its
surveillance systems, the report
said.
The Guardian did not identify
who reportedly was eavesdropped on, but said the memo
termed the payoff very meager:
“Little reportable intelligence”
was obtained, it said.
Other European leaders arriving for the 28-nation meeting
echoed Merkel’s displeasure.
Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik
Reinfeldt called it “completely
unacceptable” for a country to
eavesdrop on an allied leader.
Associated Press
GERMAN CHANCELLOR Angela Merkel, left, and French President Francois Hollande arrive for a round-table meeting at an EU summit in Brussels Thursday.
If reports that Merkel’s cellphone had been tapped are true,
“it is exceptionally serious,”
Dutch Prime Minister Mark
Rutte told national broadcaster
NOS.
“We want the truth,” Italian
Premier Enrico Letta told
reporters. “It is not in the least
bit conceivable that activity of
this type could be acceptable.”
Echoing Merkel, Austria’s foreign minister, Michael Spindelegger, said, “We need to re-establish with the U.S. a relationship
of trust, which has certainly suffered from this.”
France, which also vocally
objected to allies spying on each
other, asked that the issue of
reinforcing Europeans’ privacy in
the digital age be added to the
agenda of the two-day summit.
Before official proceedings got
underway, Merkel held a brief
one-on-one with French President Francois Hollande, and discussed the spying controversy.
After summit talks that last-
ed until after 1 a.m. Friday,
Herman Van Rompuy, European
Council
president,
announced at a news conference
that France and Germany were
seeking bilateral talks with the
United States to resolve the dispute over electronic spying by
“secret services” by the end of
this year.
“What is at stake is preserving
our relations with the United
States,” Hollande told reporters
at his own early-morning news
conference. “They should not be
changed because of what has
happened. But trust has to be
restored and reinforced.”
“It’s become clear that for the
future, something must change
— and significantly,” Merkel
said. “We will put all efforts into
forging a joint understanding by
the end of the year for the cooperation of the (intelligence) agencies between Germany and the
U.S., and France and the U.S., to
create a framework for the cooperation.”
WTC concourse opens in area shut since 9/11
NEW YORK (AP) — The first
piece of a nearly $4 billion redevelopment of the World Trade
Center
transportation
hub
debuted Thursday with the official opening of an underground
concourse that passes through an
area that has been closed since
9/11.
The gleaming, marble-paved
expanse is expected to smooth
the way for tens of thousands of
commuters and visitors. It ultimately will feature retail outlets,
but it offers something new right
now: A passageway that links
businesses and ferry service to
the west of the trade center site
to New Jersey-bound PATH
trains and the rest of lower Manhattan to the east.

used a bridge over heavily traveled West Street. Since the
attacks destroyed the bridge,
they’ve used a temporary bridge
or crossed the streets at street
level. The temporary bridge is
being dismantled and is not in
use.
“The original World Trade
Center site eliminated the street
grid because that was the fashion of the times,” Port Authority
of New York and New Jersey
executive director Patrick Foye
said at Thursday’s ribbon cutting. “This restores that street
grid and adds an underground
grid that literally spans the
length of lower Manhattan.”
Foye noted that designing the
$3.9 billion transportation hub,
scheduled to be completed in
2015, provided the opportunity
for a “do-over” of sorts that focuses more on linking multiple
modes of transportation than the
original World Trade Center site
did.
The hub will connect the
PATH rail system, ferry service,
New York City subway lines and
the Fulton Street Transit Center.
Gone will be the days, Foye said,
of commuters having to cross
busy streets and trudge up and
down stairs to make transit connections, Foye said.
The approximately 600-footlong underground concourse,
which features 40,000 square
feet of Italian marble, will house
stores and restaurants on two
levels, also by 2015. The Port
Authority is partnering with
Westfield Group to develop and
lease the more than 350,000
square feet of retail space. Westfield had signed a long-term
retail deal with the Port Authority not long before Sept. 11 and
signed a new deal for the redeveloped site in early 2008.
Other components of the redeveloped World Trade Center site
will be rolled out over the next
several months.

Jamie Dornan replaces
Hunnam in ‘Fifty Shades’
NEW YORK (AP) — “Fifty
Shades of Grey” has its male
lead, again.
Jamie Dornan has been cast
as Christian Grey, the lead role
that Charlie Hunnam withdrew
from recently. Dornan will star
alongside female lead Dakota
Johnson, with Sam Taylor-Johnson directing. Shooting is
planned to begin in November,
with a release in August next
year.
Hunnam’s departure left the
project momentarily reeling. The
big-screen adaption of E L
James’ bestselling erotic novel
has been carefully followed by its
fans, who were critical of Hunnam’s casting.
The 31-year-old Dornan, a former model from Northern Ireland, is relatively unknown. He’s
starred in the British TV series
“The Fall” and the ABC series
“Once Upon a Time.”
Unlike with Hunnam, social
media reaction to Dornan’s casting was generally positive.
Ellis Island museum
to reopen Monday
NEW YORK (AP) — Ellis
Island will reopen to the public
Monday, almost exactly a year
after Superstorm Sandy’s swells
reached 8 feet and badly damaged the former U.S. immigration entry point.
“We are delighted to be able
to share Ellis Island’s uniquely
American story with the world
once more,” Superintendent
David Luchsinger said in a
statement Thursday.
The Oct. 29 storm swamped
boilers and electrical systems,
and the 27.5-acre island in New
York Harbor was without power
for months.
The Ellis Island Immigration
Museum, housed in the main
building on the island, showcases the stories of the millions of
immigrants who passed through
the island to start their lives in
the United States.
More than a million documents, photographs and other
artifacts at the museum were
moved before the storm because
it was impossible to maintain
the climate-controlled environment needed for their preservation.
While the halls and buildings
will reopen, the artifacts remain
in a temporary storage facility in
Maryland, park officials said.
There’s no estimate on when
they will return to the island,
because considerable work to
upgrade and fix the buildings is
still ongoing.
“You’re not going to see a
complete restoration of Ellis
Island for a while,” spokesman
John Warren said.
Crews are still working on
revamping so that the next bad
storm won’t leave the island
shuttered for a year, he said.
Nearby Liberty Island, which
also flooded during Sandy,
reopened on July 4th but was
closed during the partial federal
government shutdown.
“I can think of no better way
to celebrate Lady Liberty’s
127th birthday than to welcome
visitors back to the place where
those ‘huddled masses yearning
to breathe free’ first came to our
shores,” Luchsinger said, referring to a line in the Emma
Lazarus poem “The New Colossus,” which is engraved on a
plaque hung inside the statue’s
pedestal.
There’s no cost estimate yet
on how much it will take to
repair and revamp the island.

In Their Opinion
Last word on contracts
good for state
When government records are public, the knowledge
they provide can be surprisingly pleasant. So when the
Michigan Department of Transportation recently provided the Lansing State Journal with details on its contracts
with outside vendors, Michigan residents learned that 91
percent of the department’s spending for the fiscal year
that ended Sept. 30 went to Michigan companies. That
would be $977 million out of $1.1 billion in projects
MDOT bid out. And a share of the remaining contracts
benefits Michigan because the contractors are national
firms that have regional offices here.
The LSJ began looking at the state’s contracts over the
summer after the Michigan Economic Development Corp.
awarded an out-of-state contract to provide materials for
the Pure Michigan campaign, drawing criticism.
The Department of Technology, Management and Budget had an easily accessible website displaying all contracts it manages, making analysis simple. But of the
three departments that manage their own contracts,
MDOT and MEDC were not able to quickly provide access
to them, and both wanted thousands of dollars to prepare
the documents for a reporter’s review.
Fortunately, the incongruity caught the attention of
state officials. Both departments eventually made their
data available and are working on providing it in web formats that are easy for the average taxpayer to access.
That’s good news all around.

Letter
Bolen praised for
leadership
To the Editor:
Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the annual convention of the Michigan Municipal
League, the leading advocate
and training organization for
cities across Michigan. I attended this convention to visit with
my friends from Wakefield,
Mayor Richard Bolen, city manager John Siira and council
member Ted Finco. I also had the
opportunity to meet the Ironwood city manager, Scott Erickson.
As a newly appointed city
manager for Luna Pier, Mich., I
was extremely impressed to
learn that both Bolen and Erickson are both serving on the MML
board of directors. I was
impressed because of all of the
cities in the Upper Peninsula
that these city officials represent, both of them are from the
area where I resided as a child
and where I graduated from high
school in Wakefield.
I also learned that Bolen had
just been elected by his peers on
the board of directors to the position of vice-president of the
league. At the 2014 convention,
Bolen will become the president.
I cannot emphasize strongly
enough what a great achievement this is, not only for Bolen,
but also for the Upper Peninsula
and Wakefield. This is the first
time in the 100-year history of
the league that a sitting mayor of
Wakefield has been elevated to
this prestigious position and also
only the fourth time in the history of the league that this honor
has been bestowed on someone
from the Upper Peninsula.
This achievement speaks volumes about the leadership that
Bolen not only brings to Wakefield, but also to the state. He not
only has earned the respect of
the people he represents in
Wakefield, but also the respect of
over 500 municipalities across
the state. Bolen should be commended for this rare accomplishment and the residents of Wakefield should be extremely proud
they have a person of his expertise as mayor and someone who
is recognized across the state in
the highest leadership position of
participating cities.
I want to extend my heartfelt
congratulations to him and I am
looking forward to his leadership
at MML in the upcoming year.

OPINION
Time to turn off the blowhards
At a recent news conference, President
Obama reflected on what caused the 16-day
government shutdown, and how another crisis can be avoided in the future.
“How business is done in this town has to
change,” he lectured. “All of us need to stop
focusing on the lobbyists and the bloggers
and the talking heads on radio and the professional activists who profit from conflict.”
Those “bloggers” and “talking heads” have
every right to say anything they want, of
course. The real problem is the people who
listen to them. The rest of us have every
right — even an obligation — to turn them
off.
There are many reasons behind the hardeyed hostility that led to the shutdown, but
how voters get information about politics
plays a major role. One of the great ironies of
the digital age is that the same devices we
can use to broaden our world can also be
used to narrow it. All it takes is a few
keystrokes to create echo chambers of information, to flood our screens and ear buds
with opinions that reinforce our prejudices
and exclude dissent.
Nine years ago, law professor Cass Sunstein presciently warned on NPR that “the
greatest danger of the echo chambers is
unjustified extremism.” Sunstein, who later
worked for the Obama administration,
argued that “if you get a group of people who
tend to think something, after they talk to
each other, they end up thinking a more
extreme version of what they thought
before.”
The power of these “echo chambers” to
produce “unjustified extremism” was graphically on display during last year’s election.
Goaded by hardline “bloggers” and “talking
heads,” Mitt Romney moved sharply to the
right on immigration and advocated “selfdeportation,” perhaps the single worst mis-

take he made during a fumble-filled campaign.
On election night, Romney still thought
he would win, even though his pollsters had
told him two weeks before that he was toast.
The conservative echo chamber was predicting victory, and he chose to believe them
instead of the professionals he was paying to
provide the facts.
The same capacity for denial and selfdelusion is playing out again in the aftermath of the government shutdown. Even
though polls show the popularity of the
Republican Party plunging to new depths,
the influential conservative blogger Erick
Erickson hails the emergence of “a fundamentally altered party of new faces fueled by
a grass-roots movement now able to connect
with each other.”
He’s forgetting one thing. A “fundamentally altered party” that demands orthodoxy
and purges heretics cannot possibly win
national elections.
The new media landscape was thoughtfully explored by David Carr, the media columnist of The New York Times, who wrote:
“The polarized political map is now accompanied by a media ecosystem that is equally
gerrymandered into districts of self-reinforcing discourse.”
That gerrymandering of the information
map is encouraged by consumers. As Carr
notes, “Cable blowhardism would not be
such a good business if there hadn’t been a
kind of personal redistricting of news coverage by the citizenry.”
He cites a Pew poll showing that 75 percent of Sean Hannity’s viewers on Fox identify as conservatives. Over on MSNBC,
Rachel Maddow’s audience is 71 percent liberal. (The liberal echo chamber is not as loud
as the conservative version, but it could
become a thorny problem for Obama if and
when he tries to trim entitlement costs.)
Fox News analyst Brit Hume recently
pointed out that bloggers like Erickson and
talk show hosts like Hannity “have real
influence ... particularly in very conservative
areas where they are most popular.” As a
result, even GOP lawmakers who thought
shutting down the government was a “suicide mission” kept silent. “You don’t want
the tea party and you don’t want the conservative radio talk show hosts on your back,”
Hume said.
The answer to this “blowhardism” has to
come from the voters. And they can start by
realizing a key point made by Obama. The
Hannitys and Ericksons of the world are
indeed “professional activists who profit
from conflict.” They are not interested in
informing citizens and improving government. They are interested in fomenting fear
and stoking anger. Angry people boost ratings, appeal to advertisers, and raise the
profiles and incomes of the blowhards.
“More often than not,” says Carr, “when
we tune in to cable or fire up the Web, we are
staring into the mirror, not looking out a
window.” It’s time to throw open that window, stick our heads out, and listen to voices
that challenge our worldview.

Wakefield ballot includes
school millage referendum
By KATIE PERTTUNEN
[email protected]
WAKEFIELD — The Nov. 5
election in Wakefield includes a
ballot referendum to renew the
Wakefield-Marenisco School District’s operating millage of 18
mills, drawn from non-primary
residence taxes, including cottages, camps and some businesses.
The millage is not new, but
requires renewal every 10 years,
said Catherine Shamion, school
superintendent. “It’s vital to the
school, providing for nearly half
of our revenue,” said Shamion.
“Without it we’re sunk.”
The millage has always passed
in prior years, Shamion said.
This year’s renewal is at the
same rate as the last millage,
Shamion said.
Over 10 years, it would raise
an estimated $1,142,950 for the
school district. The tax was previously called the “non-homestead” tax, Shamion said.
The funding is used for operational costs, said Brad Dalbec,
W-M School Board president. “It
only goes towards the business
functions,” he said, “not teacher
salaries.”
Primary residences are taxed
at six mills for the school, which
is distributed to the state of
Michigan, and the school
receives a portion back through
per-pupil funding, Shamion said.
Wakefield’s school board will
meet on Monday at 5 p.m. at the
Marenisco Town Hall. Shamion
said it expects to have up-to-date
survey results to present, with
about 200 surveys returned.
The survey asked residents
their opinions regarding possible
consolidation efforts of Gogebic
Range schools.
Respondents overwhelmingly
supported Bessemer as a partner
for possible consolidation, Dalbec
said.
Shamion said, “From what
I’ve seen of the results, people
support
consolidation
with
Bessemer.”
The timeline for such an effort
remains
“questionable,”
Shamion said.

Officials want Presque Isle
plant to stay open
MARQUETTE (AP) — Officials say the Presque Isle Power
Plant in Michigan’s Upper
Peninsula should remain operating through at least 2014 to
maintain reliable electricity
service in the region.
The Mining Journal of Marquette reports the assessment
is from Midcontinent Independent System Operator Inc.,
which oversees the area’s power
grid.
The Presque Isle plant’s
largest customer, Cliffs Natural
Resources, told Wisconsin’s We
Energies in July that the mining
company was switching its electric provider effective Sept. 1.
Officials estimated the switch
would save Cliffs roughly $25 million annually.
In September, We Energies
filed a request to suspend operations at the Presque Isle plant
beginning in February. The
plant’s long-term future is
uncertain.
The Presque Isle
employs 170 workers.

Wisconsin program that
helps prisoners likely to end
STEVENS POINT, Wis. (AP)
— A program that supporters
say has been effective in keeping low- to medium-risk offenders in central Wisconsin from
returning to jail will likely end.
The Volunteers in Probation
program pairs offenders with
mentors who help re-integrate
them into the community after
their release, according to
Stevens Point Journal Media.
But the program is likely to
be cut as part of Portage County’s effort to trim $1 million
from its budget, which will
decrease 1 percent from 2013.
This year, the county spent
$50,000 on the program, which is
run through Justiceworks, a nonprofit that helps offenders adjust
when they re-enter society. It will
likely close at year’s end.

grief counselors were on hand to
offer comfort to students.
Kaitlyn Nash, 16, went to the
school to be with her friends. She
said students who knew and
loved Ritzer were still trying to
make sense of what happened.
She said she found it particularly frightening that she had theater rehearsal Tuesday afternoon and was at the school when
authorities believe Ritzer was
killed.
“It’s just terrifying,” she said.
“I know a lot of people don’t want
to go back to school at this point.
I know we have to, and we just
need to get on with.”
Classes were expected to
resume today.
Police and school officials told
about 800 parents at a meeting
Thursday night there will be
extra safety measures to reassure returning students, including locked side doors, and more
police and counselors on hand.
Rabih Chaghouri, whose
daughter is a freshman, said he’s
confident the school is safe. “This
could happen in any neighborhood, any street, anywhere. You
never know what goes on in people’s heads.”
Authorities offered no clues
Thursday on Chism’s alleged
motive. They also would not say
how Ritzer was killed.
Carrie Kimball-Monahan, a
spokeswoman for Essex District
Attorney Jonathan Blodgett,
said the case was still being
investigated.
Chism had moved to Massachusetts from Tennessee

PARENTS AND Danvers High School students hold candlelight vigil to mourn the death of Colleen Ritzer, a
24-year-old math teacher at Danvers High School, on Wednesday in Danvers, Mass.
DANVERS, Mass. (AP) — A
teacher who was allegedly killed
by one of her students had asked
him to stay after school the day
she was killed, a classmate said
Thursday, as students met with
grief counselors and tried to
come to grips with the slaying of
the popular teacher.
Philip Chism, 14, was charged
with murder Wednesday in the
death of Colleen Ritzer, a 24year-old math teacher at Danvers High School.
Rania Rhaddaoui sat two
seats away from Chism in
Ritzer’s Algebra I class, the final
class of the school day. She said
Chism was drawing in a notebook rather than taking notes
Tuesday.
“She came over and said, ‘I
didn’t know you draw,’ and he
said, ‘yes,’ then later on, she said,
‘Can you stay after with me?’”
Rhaddaoui said. “Obviously, he
stayed after because when I was
leaving, he was still at his desk.”
She said Ritzer had scheduled
a test for today, but she was
unsure why exactly Ritzer asked
Chism to stay after school.
Ritzer never returned home
that day. Blood in a second-floor
bathroom helped lead investigators to her body, which was
dumped in the woods behind the
school in a close-knit community
about 20 miles north of Boston.
Chism was picked up by police
in the early morning hours
Wednesday, walking along Route
1 in neighboring Topsfield. His
attorney declined to comment
outside court Wednesday and did
not immediately return a call
seeking comment Thursday.

before the start of the school year
and was a top scorer on the
school’s junior varsity soccer
team.
Jean McCartin, a Danvers
School Committee member, said
the school has extensive programs to help ease the transition for new students who may
have problems but there was no
information about Chism that
would have presented any red
flags.
“He just presented himself to
us like any other student would,”
she said Thursday. “And that’s
what I think is so hard for the
administration right now. You
know, their hearts are breaking
because they just didn’t know he
was in need, if he was in need. ...
No one knows why he would
have behaved in this way and
done such a terrible thing.”
Students were also puzzled.
Chism’s teammates on the soccer
team have said he was soft-spoken and nonviolent.
Rhaddaoui said Chism was
quiet, and she never saw him
raise his hand in math class. She
said they were also in the same
history class, where he told classmates he spoke three languages:
English,
Portuguese
and
Japanese.
Mark Nolan, of Clarksville,
Tenn., who coached Chism in a
local youth soccer program for
several years when Chism was 9
or 10, said there was nothing
unusual about him.
“He didn’t stand out; he wasn’t a troublemaker,” Nolan said.
“He had no problem with other
kids. He wasn’t overly aggressive.”

2 shot at National Guard
armory; gunman in custody
MILLINGTON, Tenn. (AP) —
A member of the National Guard
opened fire at an armory outside a
U.S. Navy base in Tennessee,
wounding two soldiers before
being subdued and disarmed by
others soldiers, officials said
Thursday.
Millington Police Chief Rita
Stanback said the shooter was
apprehended Thursday by other
National Guard members, and
that he did not have the small
handgun used in the shooting in
his possession by the time officers
arrived. Stanback said two
National Guard members were
shot, one in the foot and one in the
leg.
“I’m sure there could have been
more injury if they hadn’t taken
him into custody,” Stanback said.
Maj. Gen. Max Haston, Tennessee’s adjutant general, said at
a news conference that the victims were being treated at a local
hospital and he expected them to
be released.

DETROIT (AP) — Short of
cash, Detroit was delaying payments to vendors and “operating
on a razor’s edge” weeks before it
filed for bankruptcy protection,
the head of the city’s turnaround
team testified Thursday.
Ken Buckfire, a Wall Street
investment banker and Detroitarea native, gave the most
detailed testimony so far on the
second day of a trial that will
determine whether the city can
stay in bankruptcy court and
eventually unsaddle $18 billion
in debt.
Detroit must show it’s broke
and tried in good-faith to negotiate with creditors. Unions and
pension funds with much money
at stake claim the city didn’t
hold genuine talks and therefore the case should be thrown
out.
Buckfire’s firm, Miller Buckfire, got involved in Detroit’s
finances before the bankruptcy.
He arrived in 2012 as the state of
Michigan signed an agreement
with the city to make certain
changes in exchange for financial
support. The deal fell apart and
eventually led to the appointment of an emergency manager
last March.
Buckfire said many city assets
were considered for possible sale
but none were viable, including a
small airport — “effectively
worth nothing” — and the water
department, which he described
as a “very complicated situation.”
He said art is being appraised
at the Detroit Institute of Arts, a
museum that is operated on the
city’s behalf.
By last spring, there were estimates that Detroit soon would be
down to just $7 million, a small
vein of cash in an annual budget
of more than $1 billion, while
payments to vendors were

said.
“The city was operating on a

was nothing of significance that
could be converted to cash to

Wausau takes first step
toward cellphone ban
WAUSAU, Wis. (AP) — City
leaders in Wausau are moving
forward with a plan to ban cellphone use while driving.
The city’s Public Health and
Safety Committee voted this
week to have the city attorney’s
office draft a cellphone ban ordinance. The committee likely will
vote on the proposal next month.
Daily Herald Media reports
the Wausau City Council would
need to approve the ordinance.
Other
area
municipalities
appear likely to follow suit if
Wausau adopts a ban.
Wausau Police Chief Jeff
Hardel says other municipalities are key to enforcing the
ban. That’s because many
motorists are unsure of where
municipal boundaries lie and on
what streets they wouldn’t be
allowed to use phones while
driving.
Marshfield and Wisconsin
Rapids already have ordinances
that ban cellphone use while
driving, except for hands-free
phones.

Some Wisconsin ski areas
have trouble hiring enough
local help even when the jobless rate is high, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported
Thursday.
Randy Axelson, spokesman
for Cascade Mountain near
Portage, said it’s an inherent
problem because the work is
seasonal. Cascade will employ
40 college students from South
America in jobs that will last
until March, he said.
Axelson said a surprising
number of South Americans
come back for a second year or
more. Though Brazilians can
be shocked by the cold, he said,
other students come from
Argentina and Peru, where it
can get just as cold as Wisconsin.
For we hold that a
person is justified by faith
apart from works
prescribed by the law.
– Romans 3:28
“I remember picking up one
fellow at the airport, and when
the doors opened and it was 5
degrees outside, he started crying. He said, ‘I can’t do this. I
can’t
do
this,’”
Axelson
recalled.
But after a brief adjustment
— and some proper winter
clothes — the Brazilian student finished the winter and
returned to work two more seasons.
“I can say that almost 100
percent of them are not coming
for the money. They’re here
because work experience in the
United States will help them
get a job when they graduate
from college,” Axelson said.
Little Switzerland ski area,
in Slinger, scheduled a job fair
Thursday aimed at filling
about 100 positions, including
ski lift operators and cafeteria
workers. Its pay scale for seasonal jobs ranges from minimum wage to about $12 per
hour. For most people, it’s part-
time work.
“One of the perks for working here is you get to ski for
free, which is as important as
the wage for a lot of our
employees,” co-owner Mike
Schmitz said.
Sunburst Ski Area, in
Kewaskum, is gearing up to
hire more than 100 employees
and already has begun testing
snow-making equipment.
“It’s been slow, and we
aren’t quite sure why,” general
manager Steve Voss said about
applicants for jobs that have
starting wage of a $7.25 per
hour, but include free skiing.
Often, a ski hill is the first
job experience for teenagers
and young adults, said Chris
Stoddard, president of the Midwest Ski Areas Association.
“It’s an important role for
them, learning the importance
of coming to work on time and
accepting the responsibilities
that come with a real job,”
Stoddard said.

Senate OKs new sentencing
rules for young killers
LANSING (AP) — The Michigan Senate voted unanimously
Thursday to create new sentencing rules for young killers, 16
months after the U.S. Supreme
Court struck down mandatory
life-without-parole sentences for
juveniles.
The legislation sent to the
House on 36-0 votes would apply
only to future criminal cases, not
retroactively to the state’s 360 or
so inmates who were under 18
when they committed crimes,
mostly murder.
The high court’s June 2012
decision — based on the Constitution’s Eighth Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual
punishment — is silent on
retroactivity, and courts across
the country have been divided
ever since on the issue. Retroactivity is especially relevant in
Michigan, home to second-highest
number of juvenile lifers in the
U.S.
“The bill in front of you will
bring us into compliance with the
Supreme Court ruling. It does not
go retroactive because they did
not address that,” said Sen. Rick
Jones, a Grand Ledge Republican
who helped block a Democratic
amendment that would have
applied the new sentencing
scheme to those already behind
bars.
Juveniles can still be sentenced to life without parole after
the court’s decision. The sentence
just cannot be mandatory on
judges, who also must consider
factors such as defendants’ immaturity, rehabilitation chances,
family and home environment,
peer pressures and inability as
youths to navigate possible plea
deals.
If Michigan juveniles commit
first-degree murder or other serious crimes causing death and do
not receive life without parole,
judges would have to sentence
them to a minimum of at least 25
years and a maximum of at least
60 years under the bills.
Critics say it makes no sense
that some mandatory life sentences are unconstitutional and
others are not. They’re hoping the
Republican-led House approves
legislation to give juvenile lifers a
shot at parole.
“A minor who commits a crime
surely has to be punished, but
their culpability is different,” said
Shelli Weisberg, lobbyist for the
American Civil Liberties Union of
Michigan. “At the very least as a
society, we should look at them
again and help them rehabilitate
if at all possible and become contributing members.”
Sen. Bert Johnson, a Detroit
Democrat, estimated that 150
prisoners serving life without
parole for crimes committed as
juveniles were accomplices, not
the actual killers.
Officials confirm cases of
influenza in Michigan
ue to encourage all Michigan citizens to get vaccinated as it is the
single best way to prevent the flu.”
The department said the illnesses occurred in children and adults
from two southeast Michigan counties. Three of the cases have been
confirmed as influenza A (H1N1)
2009 viruses and one has been confirmed as being an influenza A
(H3N2) virus.
Two of the cases were in Oakland County, north of Detroit, officials said.

LANSING (AP) — State
health officials have confirmed

8 states join forces to promote clean cars
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) —
Eight states, including California
and New York, pledged Thursday
to work together to dramatically
multiply the number of zeroemission cars on the nation’s
roads by speeding the construction of charging stations and
other infrastructure.
The goal is to put 3.3 million
battery-powered cars, plug-in
hybrids and other clean-burning
vehicles on the roads in those
states by 2025. That’s more than
15 times as many zero-emission
vehicles projected to be in use in
the entire U.S. by 2015.
Auto dealers say networks of
charging stations and other conveniences are crucial to winning
over drivers who are accustomed
to pulling up to the gas pump
and fear getting stranded by a
dead battery.
The other states in the pact
are Massachusetts, Maryland,
Oregon, Connecticut, Rhode
Island and Vermont. The eight
states together represent about
23 percent of the U.S. auto market.
The Associated Press breaks
down why there are not more
zero-emission cars already, the
keys to accomplishing the goal
and the formidable challenges:
How does this agreement differ from plans already in place in
the states?
Each state has already separately adopted rules to require a
percentage of new vehicles sold
to be zero-emission by 2025.
For example, California’s
mandate of 15.4 percent calls for
a total of 1.5 million zero-emission vehicles to be on the state’s
roads by that time. Currently,
plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles make up less than 2 percent
of the state’s market.
The agreement signed Thursday is aimed at coordinating
efforts among the eight states so
that incentives, zoning laws and
other ideas for promoting zeroemission vehicles can be more
quickly implemented.
“The idea is to make it easier
for customers to operate and use
zero-emission vehicles. This in
turn will help pave the way for
success of the auto industry,”
said Mary Nichols, chairman of
the California Air Resources
Board.
Deb Markowitz, Vermont’s
natural resources secretary, said
her state will probably form partnerships with companies to help
them build charging stations and
other necessary infrastructure.
Are the states contributing
money to make this happen?
The agreement signed Thursday requires no specific financial
commitment from each state. But
each has already launched incentive programs and other policies
meant to increase sales of zeroemission vehicles.
For example, California offers
up to $2,500 in buyer rebates.
The state leads the nation in zero
emission vehicle sales, with more
than 33,000 sold through June
tions over the next five years.
How many zero-emission vehicles are on road now, and how
many models are available?
Industry data projects more
than 200,000 zero-emissions
vehicles on the nation’s roads by
2015. That’s out of more than 250
million registered vehicles in the
U.S.
There are 16 zero-emission
models from eight manufacturers
on the market — nine that run
on batteries alone, two hydrogen
fuel cell cars and five plug-in
hybrid models, which can run on
battery alone or gasoline.
The Alliance of Automobile
Manufacturers in Washington
says there will be 26 battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids
for sale in 2014.
Officials say every automaker
will have a zero-emission model
by 2015.
What are the key things needed to reach this goal?
Auto manufacturers and dealers say consumers do not yet
fully trust electric vehicles
because of the lack of charging
stations. Also, the clean-burning
vehicles tend to be more expensive than gasoline-powered cars.
Automakers
applauded
Thursday’s agreement as an
important step forward but cautioned that significant infrastructure investment will be needed to reach the goal.
Putting 3.3 million vehicles on
the road “is not an achievable
goal given what we’re doing
today from an infrastructure
investment standpoint. It’s just
not,” said Dan Gage, a
spokesman for the Alliance of
Automobile Manufacturers in
Washington, which represents
Toyota, General Motors and 10
others.
“Up to this point there’s been
a lack of consumer interest, and
a lot of that has to do with investment in infrastructure.”
There are more than 6,700
charging stations open to the
public in the eight states in this
agreement, which seeks to multiply that number exponentially
over the next dozen years.
“We think that is going to be
necessary for some of the (driving) range anxiety and other
acceptance barriers that need to
be broken down,” said Brian
Maas, president of the California
New Car Dealers Association.
“The cars are coming —
they’re here already — but if you
don’t have a place to charge
them, there’s not going to be the
level of consumer acceptance.”

Twitter sets $17 to $20 per
share range for IPO
Higher profits from Ford, others drive stocks up
NEW YORK (AP) — Twitter
has set a price range of $17 to
$20 per share for its initial public
offering and says it could raise as
much as $1.6 billion in the process. The pricing is relatively
conservative considering that
Twitter is poised to pull off the
year’s hottest IPO.
Twitter Inc. said in a regulatory filing Thursday that it will put
forth 70 million shares in the
offering. If all the shares are
sold, the underwriters can buy
another 10.5 million shares.
At the $20 share price, Twitter’s market value would be
around $12.5 billion, roughly
one-tenth of Facebook’s current
valuation. Twitter’s value is
based on 625.2 million outstanding shares expected after the
offering, including restricted
stock units and stock options.
NEW YORK (AP) — Another
dose of strong corporate earnings, this time from Ford, Southwest Airlines and others, helped
push the stock market higher on
Thursday.
It’s one of the busiest weeks
on Wall Street for companies
posting their quarterly results.
Roughly a third of the Standard
& Poor’s 500 index will report
earnings, including some of the
world’s best-known companies.
For investors, this week has
also been a welcome return to
business as usual. Wall Street
has been focused for weeks on
what’s going on in Washington,
with the government shutdown,
the near-breach of the nation’s
borrowing limit and questions
about what’s next for the Federal
Reserve’s massive bond-buying
program.
So far, corporate earnings
have come in pretty much as
most money managers expected.
Companies are reporting bigger
profits, but most of the growth
has come from cost-cutting, a
trend that hasn’t changed very
much since the financial crisis.
“We’re in a slow-growth economy and companies need to do
everything to boost earnings,”
said Brian Reynolds, chief market strategist at Rosenblatt
Securities.
The Dow Jones industrial
average rose 95.88 points, or 0.6
percent, to 15,509.21. The S&P
500 index added 5.69 points, or
0.3 percent, to 1,752.07, about
two points below the record high
of 1,754.67 it reached on Tuesday.
The Nasdaq composite was up
21.89 points, or 0.6 percent, to
3,928.96.
Among companies reporting
earnings, Ford earned an adjusted profit of 45 cents per share —
a record for the third quarter —
as sales rose 12 percent to $36
billion. The Dearborn, Mich.based automaker sold 1.5 million
cars and trucks in the period, up
16 percent. Wall Street analysts
had expected Ford to earn 37
cents per share, according to
FactSet. Ford rose 24 cents, or
1.5 percent, to $17.76.
Southwest
Airlines,
the
nation’s largest domestic air carrier, reported sharply higher
earnings. Southwest said it had
an adjusted profit of 34 cents per
share, up from 13 cents a year
ago. Southwest rose 61 cents, or
4 percent, to $17.02.
AT&T fell 65 cents, or 1.8 percent, to $34.63. The telecommunications company said late
Wednesday it had an adjusted
profit of 66 cents in the third
quarter, a penny above analysts’
forecasts, however revenue fell
slightly short of what analysts
expected.

first.
Massachusetts pays incentives of up to $7,500 per vehicle
to cities that buy electric models,
and up to $15,000 for each charging station built. New York has
set its own goal of adding a network of up to 3,000 charging sta-

WORLD
Behind the wheel, Saudi women hope for new gains
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — It’s been a little
more than two years since the
last time women in Saudi Arabia
campaigned for the right to
drive. Now activists are calling
for women to get behind the
wheel again Saturday, and they
hope reforms made by the
monarchy since then have readied the deeply conservative
nation for change.
The reforms made by King
Abdullah in recent years have
been cautious, showing his wariness of pushing too hard against
influential ultraconservatives.
But given the overwhelming
restrictions on women in the
kingdom, where the strict interpretation of Islam known as
Wahhabism is effectively the law
of the land, even the tiny openings have had a resounding
effect.
Perhaps one sign of the impact
of the changes is the loudness of
the backlash by conservatives
against Saturday’s driving campaign.
Around 150 clerics rallied outside one of the king’s palaces this
week, some accusing Abdullah’s
top ally the United States of
being behind calls to let women
drive. A prominent cleric caused
a stir when he said last month
that medical studies show that
driving a car harms a woman’s
ovaries. Those opposed to the
campaign have also used social
media to attack women activists
or have urged people to harass
female drivers.
The government has given
mixed signals about how it will
deal with the campaign, illustrated by a statement put out
this week by the Interior Ministry, which is in charge of police.
The ministry warned against
marches or gatherings under the
pretext of the driving campaign.
It said violators “disturbing public peace” will be dealt with firmly.
But activists have interpreted
the statement to mean that
police will crackdown on men
who try and attack or harass
women drivers, said Hatoon alFassi, a Women’s History professor at King Saud University in
Riyadh. She pointed out that
women have made clear they
aren’t holding gatherings Saturday; women will simply drive in a
show of defiance of the ban, perhaps on the pretext of running
errands.
“We are feeling a more positive environment. There is a general atmosphere of acceptance,”
al-Fassi said. “The public is positive and the reactions on social
media are beautiful.”
Still, the statement’s language
also caters to conservatives
because it harkens back to
charges of “violating public
order” that were levied against a
female driver arrested in 2011.
In a sign authorities do not
want the driving campaign to
grow too bold, police have privately told the campaigners not
to speak to the media, according
to one activist who wished to
remain anonymous for fear of
retribution.
The driving ban — imposed
because clerics warn that
“licen1
tiousness” will spread if women
drive — is unique in the world
and is the most symbolically
weighty of the restrictions on
women in Saudi Arabia. But it’s
hardly the only one.
Genders are strictly segregated, and women are required to
wear a headscarf and loose, black
robes in public. Guardianship
laws require women to get permission from a male relative —
usually husband or father, but
lacking those, a brother or son —
to travel, get married, enroll in
higher education or undergo certain surgical procedures.
The first major driving protest
came in 1995 and was met by a
heavy response. Some 50 women
who drove their cars were jailed
for a day, had their passports
confiscated and lost their jobs.
In June 2011, about 40 women
got behind the wheel and drove
in several cities in a protest
sparked when a woman was
arrested after posting a video of
herself
driving.
Individual
women continued to flout the
ban, and one woman was arrested and sentenced to 10 lashes.
The king overturned the sentence.
For Saturday, campaigners
hope to bring out bigger numbers. They claim to have 16,000
signatures on a petition of support, a quarter more than in
2011. This time, they say they
understand the laws better and
have the full support of male relatives, and they argue public
attitudes are changing.
They have posted online
videos of themselves driving in
recent weeks, with some showing
passing male drivers giving them
a thumbs-up in support. State
newspapers have published articles and opinion pieces almost
daily on the debate, something
impossible only a few years ago.
Al-Fassi, who also writes for
the state-run daily Al-Riyadh,
said that two years ago she was
barred from publishing an article
that mentioned women’s driving
and had to change the wording.
“This time I wrote a long article and not a single word was
changed. It is unprecedented,”
she said.
A string of “firsts” since the
2011 driving campaign have
cracked open the door.
Women were granted the right
to vote and run in the 2015
municipal elections. Thirty
women were given seats on the
Shura Council, an advisory body
to the king and government. The
largest university in the world
for girls opened just a few years
after the opening of the kingdom’s first major mixed-gender
university.
Two Saudi female athletes,
including a judo player, competed in last year’s Olympics. Four
women were granted licenses to
work as lawyers. A law criminalizing domestic abuse was introduced, with a state-backed ad
campaign against abuse of
women.
Still, even the changes have
their limits.
While it is a crime to abuse a
woman, it is not clear which
agency investigates allegations
and it is difficult to file a police
report without a male guardian
— who could be the abuser. The
new women lawyers will likely
face male judges who oppose
their presence in the courtroom.
Despite the participation in the
Olympics, there is no phys-ed for
girls in public schools, and sports
centers are almost entirely for
men.

Portugal reopens missing
Madeleine case; new leads
LISBON, Portugal (AP) —
More than six years after British
girl Madeleine McCann vanished
from her bedroom during a family vacation in Portugal and five
years after Portuguese police
gave up trying to find her,
authorities reopened the case
Thursday, citing new evidence.
Madeleine’s parents, Kate and
Gerry McCann, had long campaigned from their home in central England for the Portuguese
investigation to resume. In a
statement Thursday, they said
they were “very pleased” at the
development.
“We hope that this will finally
lead to (Madeleine) being found
and to the discovery of whoever is
responsible for this crime,” Kate
and Gerry McCann said. The couple, both doctors, continue to care
for Madeleine’s younger siblings,
twins Sean and Amelie.
Madeleine went missing shortly before her fourth birthday. Her
disappearance sparked global
interest as pictures of her and
her grieving parents beamed
around the world. Her parents
briefly met with Pope Benedict
XVI in St. Peter’s Square in June
2007, a month after Madeleine
disappeared, and the pontiff held
a picture of their daughter.
Then, in a stunning twist, Portuguese police briefly considered
the parents suspects before they
were cleared and returned home.
World-famous Spanish chef
puts on apron in Italy
MILAN (AP) — Ferran Adria,
regarded as one of the world’s
most inventive chefs, made a
“huge exception” when he agreed
to cook for an event Thursday —
his first such outing since closing
his famed elBulli restaurant two
years ago to focus on experimentation.
Adria, whose Michelin threestar elBulli restaurant in Spain
was ranked for five years running the best restaurant in the
world by Restaurant magazine,
reprised a 1992 dish for an allstar chef dinner Thursday: an
iced tomato and almond dish
being served as a starter.
The occasion was the launch of
Italian coffee-maker Lavazza’s
2014 calendar, featuring Adria
among seven of the world’s top
chefs.
Adria said that for at least the
last decade that elBulli was open,
he never consented to cooking offsite.
“It’s a huge exception,” he told
The Associated Press in an interview. “It’s a gift for the Lavazza
family.”

A VISITOR takes pictures in a social housing tower converted into a
temporary street art exhibition in Paris, France, Tuesday, Oct. 8.
Doomed Paris tower lives
out last days in graffiti
PARIS (AP) — Condemned
apartments covered in spray
paint have probably never been
in such demand.
An entire apartment tower in
eastern Paris has been turned
over to 105 street artists from
around the world, giving them a
chance to turn each home into its
own art installation during the
building’s final days.
The artists had seven months
to tag “Tour Paris 13” — named
for the district where it’s located
— coating apartments sometimes
still filled with debris, trash and
furniture. All their work will vanish by the end of the year, as the
tower, which has nine stories and
a basement, is demolished piece
by piece after next week.
“I really wanted the artist to
intervene on a whole space,” said
Mehdi Ben Cheikh, the gallery
owner who initiated the project.
“I didn’t want the spectators to
come and look at art. I wanted
the spectators to come and enter
an art work ... which means there
are things everywhere — we
enter a room, and have to turn
around in every direction to
understand the surroundings.”
The result is a tower exhibiting a range of artistic styles.
There’s a skull-inspired mural,
Arabic calligraphy, a bloody bathroom, and a glow-in-the-dark cow
crawling with snakes.
Would-be visitors have lined
up for up to eight hours for a onehour visit, with signs at various
points around the block estimating their wait time. Only 49 people are allowed in at one time in
the apartment block, which overlooks the Seine.
A handful of people are still
living in the building and refusing to leave until the bitter end.
Some of the artists of Tour
Paris 13 are participating in an
unprecedented
international
urban contemporary art auction
on today, with pieces created
spur of the moment on Thursday
standing alongside works from
Keith Haring and Basquiat.
“I’ve been following graffiti
and street art for about 30 years
and so this represents another
step in slightly different direction,” said Martha Cooper, the
famous street photographer who
is documenting their work in
progress. “Having an auction in
Paris, in a big auction house, is
pretty amazing.”
A 1986 Basquiat piece, “Monticello,” is estimated to sell at
600,000 to 900,000 euros
($828,180 to $1.2 million), and a
1984 acrylic of Keith Haring’s
“Sneeze,” from 500,000 to
700,000 euros.
“We are the new artists. Graffiti art is the world’s biggest art
movement,” said Mear One, an
artist from Los Angeles who was
painting live outside the Drouot
Auction House on Thursday. “In
the 1970s, art was so elite that
only the upper level people could
do art or appreciate. So it got
boring ... and now, we are in a
situation where this is the art
form.
“All that other art is cool, but
it has roots in the past, and we
are the here and the now.”

MERCER’S LEXI Engler, right, reacts as Shell Lake celebrates a 3-2 victory in Thursday’s WIAA Division 4 regional semifinal at Mercer.
Shell Shocked
By JASON JUNO
[email protected]
MERCER, Wis. — Shell Lake is some No. 7
seed.
The Lakers grabbed the momentum after a
first-set loss and used a solid offense to upset
No. 2 Mercer 3-2 in Thursday’s WIAA Division
4 regional volleyball semifinal.
The Indianhead Conference East Division
champion Tigers finished at 25-5 with the 1825, 25-10, 25-16, 23-25, 15-10 loss.
“We went down swinging; that’s for sure,”
Mercer Robyn Schoeneman said. “I couldn’t be
happier with the season we had. One loss doesn’t take away the 25 wins we had. We only lost
five times; you can count it on one hand. That’s
nothing to sneeze at.”
Few if any regional teams play Shell Lake
during the regular season, but most of the
other teams play each other, which helps
explain why the Lakers were seeded seventh
out of 14 teams. Shell Lake plays in the tough
Lakeland Central Conference with teams like
Cameron, Turtle Lake and Clayton.
“We’re usually a pretty good sleeper,” Shell
Lake coach Jessica Furchtenicht said. “We face
No. 7 seed Shell Lake stuns
No. 2 Mercer in semifinal
strong competition all year.”
Schoeneman agreed.
“I don’t think a seven seed did much justice
to their team,” she said. “They are way better
than a seven seed and they were a big surprise
to us that way. They didn’t get much credit for
their abilities because they play in a tough conference. They play at a high level and we knew
that going in.”
Shell Lake had some hard-to-defend power
hitters and its defense was just as solid, getting a piece of most shots at the net and digging shots that didn’t look salvageable.
“Our offense tonight was so good,” Furchtenicht said. “We’re led by seniors, so we have
an old, veteran team. They were able to just
come out and hit the ball. I don’t think they
were expecting that. We had great blocks,
which caused them to start tipping and our
coverage was really good.”
Mercer saw Shell Lake sweep Northwood in
the regional quarterfinal Tuesday.
“We knew what they had as far as hitters
went and then they started tipping,” Schoeneman said. “They started doing things that
caught us back on our heels and we weren’t
expecting that. We were certainly geared
towards the hitters. We really started digging
towards the end and took them out of their
game. Then they started tipping it and we
were back on our heels. We weren’t adjusting
as quickly as we should have. By the end we
did, but maybe it was just a little too late.”
Mercer looked to be on a good path after
scoring nine straight points midway through
the first game, a 25-18 win.
“We came out really well. We were in the
lead to start and won that first game with really solid play,” Schoeneman said.
But Shell Lake turned a 6-6 tie in the second game to a 23-8 lead and firmly took the
momentum. The Lakers kept it in the third
game, taking an early 9-2 lead and keeping the
gas pushed in. It was a pretty good recovery
from a first-set loss on the road.
“We were able to dig down deep, which was
something we haven’t seen all season from
them,” Furchtenicht said.
Shell Lake again took the early lead in
Brett Favre dismisses possibility of joining Rams
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Brett Favre
dismissed the possibility of returning to the NFL with St. Louis, and
Rams coach Jeff Fisher declined to
address reports he tried to lure the
quarterback out of retirement to
replace the injured Sam Bradford.
Favre told Washington sports
station WSPZ-AM he doesn’t feel
physically able to compete and
expressed fear that he has been
affected by concussions.
“It’s flattering, but you know
there’s no way I’m going to do
that,” Favre said.
Fisher changed the subject
after practice, then said “Nice try”
when asked whether the 44-yearold Favre could be ready to play.
Bradford is out for the season with
a knee injury.
“I don’t remember my daughter
playing soccer, playing youth soccer, one summer,” Favre told
WSPZ. “I don’t remember that. I
got a pretty good memory, and I
have a tendency, like we all do, to
say, ‘Where are my glasses?’ and
they’re on your head. This was
pretty shocking to me that I couldn’t remember my daughter playing
youth soccer, just one summer, I
think. I remember her playing basketball, I remember her playing
volleyball, so I kind of think maybe
she only played a game or two. I
think she played eight. So that’s a
little bit scary to me. For the first
time in 44 years, that put a little
fear in me. ...
“I think after 20 years, God only
knows the toll.”
Rams defensive end Robert
Quinn didn’t think there was anything to the reports.
“Brett Favre is staying retired,”
Quinn said. “Brett hasn’t played
since 2010 and he’s comfortable
down there in Mississippi on a
boat or something. Have fun with
it, Brett.”
Kellen Clemens, the backup the
past two seasons, will make his
13th career start Monday night
against the Seattle Seahawks. The
Rams also signed Brady Quinn
and Austin Davis.

Dallas, Detroit, Miami to play NFL London in 2014
LONDON (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys, Detroit
Lions and Miami Dolphins will travel to London
next year to take part in the NFL International
Series, the league announced Thursday.
The NFL will hold three games at Wembley Stadium in 2014, with the Jacksonville Jaguars,
Atlanta Falcons and Oakland Raiders as the designated home teams.
The lineup: Cowboys vs. Jaguars, Lions vs. Falcons, and Dolphins vs. Raiders.
Dates are to be determined.
The Cowboys have played preseason games
abroad before, but the prospect of playing in London was absolutely appetizing to coach Jason Garrett.
“It’s a great opportunity for our organization to
go over there and play and we’re going to do what
we need to do logistically to play our best,” Garrett
said. “It’s Wembley Stadium, for crying out loud.
It’s one of the great stadiums in the world.”
Lions All-Pro receiver Calvin Johnson said it
will be “interesting,” to make his first trip to London, but hopes the game isn’t scheduled before the
team’s annual short week.
“Hopefully, it’s just not around the Thanksgiving time or the week before,” Johnson said.
Lions president Tom Lewand saw the game as
an opportunity to promote his city, which filed for
bankruptcy this year.
“The global platform also presents a unique and
special opportunity for our fans and business partners to join us in sharing the many positive stories
about the city of Detroit, the state of Michigan and
the Lions,” Lewand said in a statement.
The Jaguars are playing four games over four
seasons in London, starting on Sunday against the
San Francisco 49ers.
Jacksonville is a kind of designated home team
for London, as it has given up one of its eight regular-season home games for four seasons.
Speedgirls edge Devils in rivalry match
By PAT KRAUSE
[email protected]
IRONWOOD — The two volleyball matches between Bessemer
and Ironwood were so similar, it
was almost like rewinding a movie
and watching it over again.
Bessemer wins the first two
games and Ironwood comes back
to take games three and four. But
on Thursday night, the script
changed at the end. Ironwood won
the fifth set in their first match,
but this time the Speedgirls took
the fifth set and won a very close
match 25-20, 25-22, 19-25, 18-25
and 16-14.
“It went right down to the wire,
just like the last game,” Speedgirl
coach Shelly Mettler said. “We
went two sets up, but I never
doubted Ironwood would come
back because the first two games
were close. I didn’t want the girls
to go flat in the third and fourth
sets, but that’s exactly what we
did. In the fifth game, I wanted
them to leave it all on the court.
“I told them I’d rather have
them go down swinging and lose
than play it safe and win. I told
them to play with emotion and
keep playing with emotion”
Bessemer senior Sarah Trudgeon, who was all over the court
with five kills, 12 assists and two
aces, said the difference between
the first game and the second
game was that the Speedgirls
“really wanted it” this time. She

Gym in Ironwood.
also admitted she had played a
heck of a game.
“This game meant a lot to us
and we played our hearts out and
left everything on the court,” Trudgeon said. “I have so much faith in
our team. This was one of my better games. It got so loud and we
were really pumped up.”
Ironwood coach Lisa Graham
was also surprised how similar the
two games were but wasn’t happy
with the ending of this match.
“That was definitely not our
best volleyball,” Graham said.
“We’ve played much better. We
had lots of mental mistakes, mistakes we normally don’t make. The
only positive is to take our lumps
now and play well in the district
tournament. But it tough to lose at
homecoming. We had a nice crowd
that was very intense and our student section was loud.”
But Graham gave Bessemer
credit for a good win.
“I’ve seen Bessemer play before
and that’s the scrappiest and best

game four, but Mercer fought back
and forced a thrilling back-andforth the rest of the game. After
Mercer came back to tie it at 1414, the teams traded points until
the Tigers finally took a two-point
24-22 advantage. Shell Lake made
it 24-23, but Mercer scored the
winning point on a bad Shell Lake
serve.
Mercer’s offense worked well
late in game four with Lexi Engler
and Nikki Kempf able to tally kills
and even a couple of blocks on
Shell Lake’s hitters.
“In the fourth game, we started
to play with a little more heart
and enthusiasm, which is what we
built our whole season around,”
Schoeneman said.
The Tigers kept their momentum into the fifth game, taking a
4-0 lead. They looked good getting
the lead with Engler going to the
floor to save one of Shania Pokorny’s many powerful shots. Sydney Thompson also had a block in
the run.
But that didn’t faze seniorladen Shell Lake. Pokorny finally
got her third shot of the play to fall
for a kill. That gave Shell Lake its
first point of the fifth set and the
Lakers managed to score 12
straight points.
Mercer pulled back within 13-9
but couldn’t stop Shell Lake any
longer. The Tigers got a nice hand
from their home crowd after completing a nice season, albiet too
soon.
Mercer lost outside hitter
Kempf during that fifth game; a
big loss that Shell Lake exploited.
She had some issues breathing
while battling illness and asthma,
Schoeneman said.
“It’s hard when a cornerstone of
your team goes down, but we
fought hard and we played well,”
Schoeneman said. “I’m proud of
them.”
No. 3 Washburn swept No. 6
Bayfield and will host Shell Lake
in Saturday’s regional final.
Washburn likely expected to be
coming to Mercer Saturday night.
The future is bright in Mercer.
Just two seniors graduate, but
they were big pieces this year,
Kempf and Kassie Wiedower. At
one time, Mercer played with four
freshmen on the court Thursday.
Wacha, Cards top Red Sox 4-2
to tie World Series
Associated Press
ST. LOUIS Cardinals’ Jon Jay and Pete Kozma (38) celebrate after the Cardinals defeated the Boston Red Sox,
4-2, in Game 2 of baseball’s World Series Thursday in Boston. The series is tied at 1-1.
NASCAR may overhaul qualifying in 2014
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR told
its competitors Thursday it is considering eliminating single-car qualifying next season in an
overhaul that would likely implement road
course-style qualifying at all but two tracks.
Drivers from all three national series met
with top NASCAR officials for almost two
hours at the R&D Center in Concord to discuss
several different ideas under consideration for
2014. The only thing officially announced by
NASCAR was that it will mandate baseline
concussion testing for drivers starting next season.
But series officials also outlined potential
changes to qualifying procedures everywhere
except Daytona and Talladega. NASCAR
spokesman Kerry Tharp said the field would
likely be set at Daytona and Talladega with an
“open qualifying session” that would allow for a
60-minute drafting session.
“It’s not written in stone at this point in
time,” Tharp told The Associated Press. “We
just talked about some ideas that would make
things more interesting. Today was an opportunity for us to talk to the drivers about ideas,
and I’m sure other ideas will come up over the
next few weeks.”
NASCAR also informed drivers of a Dec. 9
test at Charlotte Motor Speedway to continue
work on its intermediate track package, with
Dec. 10 held as a rain date. NASCAR tested a
variety of different packages Oct. 14 at Charlotte and discussed the results of those tests
with drivers Thursday.
“We are just trying to do everything we can
to make the racing better, particularly at the
intermediate tracks,” Tharp said.
NASCAR this year implemented road course
qualifying for its Sprint Cup Series at Sonoma
and Watkins Glen for the first time. Under the
new format, which had previously been used in
the Nationwide Series, cars attempting to qualify were divided into groups. The number of
groups, and the number of cars in each,
depended on the number of cars that practiced
for the event.
Group assignments were based on final
practice times. Each qualifying group was ontrack for a set period of time, determined by the
series director. A car’s best lap time during the
group session was the qualifying lap time of
record.
NASCAR used heat races in the Truck
Series to set qualifying at Eldora Speedway in
July for the first time. Fans enjoyed it, but
there doesn’t seem to be a push to bring it to
the Sprint Cup Series.
BOSTON (AP) — Just when it
seemed Michael Wacha had
cracked, the St. Louis Cardinals
began scooting around the bases
and tied the World Series.
Wacha beat John Lackey in a
matchup of present and past
rookie sensations, and this time
it was the Cardinals’ turn to take
advantage of sloppy fielding as
St. Louis topped the Boston Red
Sox 4-2 Thursday night to even
the Series at a game apiece.
David Ortiz put Boston ahead
in the sixth inning with a tworun homer just over the Green
Monster in left, ending Wacha’s
scoreless streak at 18 2-3 innings
— a rookie record for a single
postseason.
But then Lackey, who in 2002
with the Angels became the first
rookie in 93 years to win a World
Series seventh game, faltered in
a three-run seventh. St. Louis
went ahead when Matt Carpenter hit a sacrifice fly that led to a
pair of runs, with the second
scoring on errors by catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia and reliever
Craig Breslow.
Carlos Beltran, back in the
lineup after bruising ribs in the
opener, followed with an RBI single.

I’ve seen them play,” she said.
In game one, Bessemer went up 137 after a long hit by Trudgeon landed
inside the back-line. Kills from Mariah
Beaudette and Jessica Gering closed
the gap to 20-17, but Claire Tourville
closed out the set with double aces.
The second game was close all the
way and Allyson Hanson tied the
game at 16-16 with a great tip down
the sideline, but Emily DiGiorgio
came right back with hard kill shot.
Beaudette and Brenna Bogaczyk
traded kill and blocks down the
stretch, but it was Bogaczyk’s kill that
nipped the back line for a 25-22 win.
In the third game. Gering’s patented tip to the back line put Ironwood up
17-10 and Bessemer lost its focus,
played it safe and made mistakes as
Ironwood got its first win.
Game four was tight until
Beaudete and DiGiorgio made kills
and Gering’s hit that couldn’t be handled allowed Ironwood to pull away
25-18.
In game five, Trudgeon’s block gave
Bessemer a 10-5 advantage. A tip by
“I wanted to be in the lineup. I
worked so hard to get to this
point,” Beltran said. “Somebody
would have to kill me in order for
me to get out of the lineup.”
When the Series resumes Saturday night in St. Louis, Jake
Peavy starts for the Red Sox and
Joe Kelly for the Cardinals.
Twenty-nine of the previous 55
teams that won Game 2 to tie the
Series went on to take the title.
“Excited to get home. I know
everybody is,” St. Louis manager
Mike Matheny said.
Wacha, a 22-year-old righthander, was the NL championship series MVP after beating
Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw
twice. Wacha wasn’t quite as
sharp in this one, allowing two
runs, three hits and four walks
in six innings with six strikeouts.
He threw a career-high 114
pitches, and when he reached the
dugout after Ortiz’s homer, he
slammed his glove onto the
bench.
Still, the rookie improved to 40 with a 1.00 ERA in four outings
this postseason, matching the
amount of regular-season wins
he has in his brief career.
“He pitched outstanding,”
Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina
Katie Erickson that barely made it
over the net tied the decisive game at
12-12. But Ironwood had a violation
and pushed shots long and wide. Trudgeon closed out the set and match with
a service ace.
Besides Trudgeon’s big night,
Tourville nailed six aces along with
two kills and 10 assists. Julie Ahnen
slammed four aces with five kills.
Bogaczyk made her presence felt in
the middle with 10 kills and six blocks.
Bogaczyk battled all night with
Ironwood’s Beaudette, who had 14
kills and four blocks. Both coaches
said it was “fun” play to watch the
girls play so hard against each other.
“It’s a very good match-up,” Graham said. “It’s kill, block, go at it and
they will get in your face. They have
great intensity and you’d like to have
both of them on your team.”
Mettler said junior Valerie Rowe
had her “best game all year.” Graham
praised Ally Clemens for her serving
and said she scored the most points
while serving.
Ironwood senior Jessica Gering
pounded 11 kills and Sarah Johnson
added seven. Emily DiGiorgio and
Katie Erickson had five kills and
Erickson notched 32 assists.
said. “Just one pitch, to a great
hitter like Big Papi. We take our
hat off to him, but I mean, he
pitched good tonight.”
Wacha’s parents and sister
made the trip from Texarkana,
Texas, and sat bundled in coldweather clothes in the stands to
watch the 19th pick in last year’s
amateur draft.
The Cardinals’ hard-throwing
bullpen combined for one-hit
relief. Carlos Martinez got six
outs, retiring Mike Napoli on an
inning-ending popup with two on
in the eighth. Trevor Rosenthal
struck out the side in the ninth
for a save, whiffing Daniel Nava
with a 99 mph fastball to end it.
All three St. Louis pitchers
were 23 or younger.
“It doesn’t surprise me. Those
guys got talent,” Molina said.
“Like I said before many times,
they’re not afraid to pitch.”
Seeking its second championship title in three seasons, St.
Louis improved to 7-0 this postseason when scoring first and
stopped Boston’s World Series
winning streak at nine.
That run began with a sweep
of the Cardinals in 2004, when
St. Louis never led the entire
Series.
W-M sweeps E-TC
EWEN — Wakefield-Marenisco swept Ewen-Trout Creek 2518, 25-22, 25-13 in Thursday's
Porcupine Mountain Conference
volleyball match.
Hallee Yon led W-M with six
kills.
"We got off to a slow start, we
were sluggish on defense," W-M
coach Jessica Novascone said.
It was Senior Night for E-TC.
"They were really fired up.
They've definitely improved
since the start of the year, a lot
of confidence," Novascone said.
W-M (8-8) is off until the district tournament. Novascone
was happy to play at Ewen, the
site of districts, which are the
week of Nov. 4.
Watersmeet beats Bays
W A T E R S M E E T —

Wife unhappy in ‘stale’ marriage, husband should know
Dear Annie: I am a 44-yearold woman in a quandary. I have
been married for 21 years to a
good man who is nine years my
senior. He is supportive and
affectionate. Most women would
be satisfied. He plays the lottery
more often than we can afford,
but other than that, he’s a kind
man. He is also a terrific, loving
father to our two teenage boys.
Here’s my problem: Six
months ago, I got in touch with
my first young love through
Facebook. We became comfortable chatting and texting. We
eventually met face to face, and
there was an instant attraction.
We now text daily and talk on

Show off and prepare to accept
recognition for your accomplishments in
the year ahead. More options will be
made available to you, and you should
exploit the opportunities that will
advance your cause. Think big and proceed with confidence. Share your success.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Follow your heart and plunge into encounters that promise growth. Make changes
at home that contribute to your goals,
success and happiness.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) —
Listen carefully, especially to talk about
financial matters. Someone may try to
take advantage of your generosity or
gullibility. Focus on home, love and making your personal life better.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — A
suggestion may appear to be a little
unusual, but when you break it down,
you will discover a sensible purpose. You
should try to find a way to make it happen.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) —You
may have to alter the way you do things
or even take a different route to get to the
destination that you are determined to
reach. Update your look and you’ll set a
trend.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) —Make
a choice and proceed without looking
back. You have more going for you than
you realize. A financial gain is apparent,
and it could prove quite a windfall.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) —Don’t
let restlessness be your downfall.
Embrace change but don’t initiate it. You
are best to wager the pros and cons
before you leap into something you may
regret.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) —
Express your concerns and your plans.
Meet in person with a concerned party if
it will help you make your point. Explore
the possibility of making your home life
less expensive and more convenient.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) —Keep a
watchful eye on what others do.
Advancement comes by using your skills
to impress people and make a difference. Make your contribution count.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) —Focus
on the unusual today. Learn all you can
about a situation that can benefit your
environment as well as bring in extra
cash. Good fortune is within reach. Make
an offer and see what it gets you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Someone
is withholding information. You have to
reach out and ask specific questions so
you can base your next move on what’s
real, instead of assumptions. A personal
change looks positive.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Put
your time and energy behind something
or someone you believe in, and you will
make your way to a very comfortable
position. A judicious compromise will
lead to success.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Expect
to face someone who is overreacting or
pushing boundaries. Don’t get bullied
into something that you don’t want to do.
Stand your ground and prepare to follow
your own path.

the phone at least once a week.
We also get together once a
month to go hiking.
We have hugged and kissed,
but haven’t had sex. He feels that
would be crossing a line that
could never be erased. But we
are both slowly giving in to our
desire for each other. Our marriages are at a crossroads. Neither of us is intimate with our
spouse.
My family is completely
unaware that I am in love with
my childhood sweetheart. Do I
follow my head and stay in a
safe, stale marriage? I love my
husband, but I am not in love
with him and haven’t been for
years. I would, of course, wait for
my sons to go off to college before
changing my life. Do you have
any advice for me? — In Love
With Another Man
Dear In Love: Imagine your
husband reconnecting with an
old flame and deciding to leave
you because you aren’t exciting
anymore. Wouldn’t you want the
opportunity to discuss it? To
point out how it would hurt the
children? To help him understand that 21 years together
should mean something?
We can assure you that six
months of playing kissy-face is
not the same as a day-to-day
marriage. It’s easy to put effort
and romance into a fling and
believe it’s going to be like that
forever. We understand that you
are bored, but this is disrespectful to your marriage and your
husband. Get counseling. See
whether you can fix what’s making you unhappy before you
make a mess of several lives,
including your own.
Dear Annie: Could you
please educate people about the
dangers of tossing their babies
and toddlers up in the air? —
Father of Five
Dear Dad: Forceful or violent
shaking, bouncing and tossing
can cause brain or spinal damage
in infants. This is known as
shaken baby syndrome. However, very gentle tossing (less than
a foot in the air) is usually safe,
provided you don’t drop the child
or hit his head on the ceiling or a
light fixture, which happens
more often than you might think.
Pediatricians are divided on
what age is OK, but the more
conservative say to wait until the
child is at least 2 years old.
Dear Annie: “Puzzled in
Gary, Ind.” asked why lesbians
are attracted to older women
with white hair. There could be
another reason: the assumption
that a woman is alone and might
have assets to steal.
This happened to my friend
“Sue.” A pair of women began
attending her church and wrangled an invitation to stay with
Sue while “waiting for the paperwork to be finished on their new
house.”
They remained in their room
when I visited. If I called, one of
them answered the phone. If
they left the house, they took Sue
with them. After two weeks, Sue
knocked on my door, quickly put
her Bible in my hands and
rushed back. In the Bible was a
short note asking me to help her
because she was afraid of her
“guests.” I promptly called Sue’s
son and daughter, who came to
evict the intruders. These women
had been trying to “help Sue”
with her finances and were working on having their names added
to her accounts. — California

Which black suit
would you choose?
By Phillip Alder
Kin Hubbard, a journalist and humorist who died in 1930, said, “No
matter how much strong black coffee we drink, almost any after-dinner
speech will counteract it.”
This deal centers on the black
suits, one stronger than the other.
Would you prefer to be in four spades
or five clubs?
Let’s assume that South is in four
spades and West leads a diamond.
East wins with his 10 and continues
with the diamond ace. How should
South continue after ruffing?
The auction is difficult. South might
rebid three clubs, not two hearts,
because his hearts are so weak —
but we love majors. North’s three
diamonds is a game-forcing cue-bid.
Then, when South shows club support, North might well bid game in
that suit.
Five clubs makes unless East leads
a trump, which is feasible when South
shows a three-suited hand. But if
East starts with the diamond ace before shifting to a club, North wins in
his hand, ruffs a diamond in the dummy (South), plays a heart to his ace,
ruffs another diamond, leads a heart
to the king, draws trumps, tries unsuccessfully to drop the spade queen
and claims, conceding one heart.
In four spades, South should
plan on losing two spades and one
diamond. He draws two rounds of
trumps and turns to the clubs. West
ruffs the third round and leads a diamond, but South ruffs, plays a heart
to the king and discards a heart on
the next club. The contract makes.
Did you notice that East missed a
nigh-impossible defense? If he had
shifted to a heart at trick two, it would
have removed a key dummy entry.
Try it and see.

DEAR DOCTOR K: Recently I've been
feeling sad and tired. My doctor doesn't
think I'm depressed, but I know something's not right. What could it be?
DEAR READER: Doctors typically define
diseases by how they appear in their
most extreme form. I call it the "tip of the
iceberg" phenomenon. For example, you
don't have diabetes until your blood sugar
reaches a certain level. You don't have
lupus until you have a certain combination of symptoms, physical examination
and laboratory abnormalities. The same
with multiple sclerosis.
Yet lots of people have "pre-diabetes":
Their blood sugar levels are not high
enough to qualify for the diagnosis of diabetes, but they have a higher risk than
those without "pre-diabetes" to develop
the disease in the future. And many people have illnesses with some feature of

YOU CAN FIND YOUR WAY OUT OF
'ALMOST DEPRESSION'
lupus or multiple sclerosis. Sometimes
they go on to develop the full-blown disease, and sometimes not.
The same is true with depression. In between a state of positive well-being and
full-blown major depression lies a large
gray area of persistent negative mood. A
newly emerging term for this gray area is
"almost depression."
If you are almost depressed, you experience some symptoms of clinical depression, but your symptoms are not intense,
frequent or persistent enough to be diagnosed as major depression. Still, these
symptoms negatively impact your quality
of life. And they affect your mood, perception, thought processes, emotions, physical
condition,
motivation,
work
performance and social life. Almost depression is not something you can simply
"snap out of."
Here's a quick quiz to help determine
whether you're almost depressed. Check
all statements that describe how you've
been feeling in the past month:
-- I'm frustrated over little things that don't
usually bother me.
-- I've been avoiding my friends.
-- I have not been sleeping well lately.
-- Nothing tastes very good these days.
-- I'd like to just "stop the world" and get
off for a while.
-- Nothing seems very funny to me.
-- Nothing seems very interesting or exciting to me lately.
-- My fuse seems shorter than it used to
3
-- I'd really like just to be left alone.
-- I have trouble concentrating on a book
or TV show.
-- I just feel tired all the time for no reason.
If you checked off two or more statements, you may fall somewhere on the
depression spectrum.
The good news is that you can get your
life back. One place to start is with an informative new book called "Almost Depressed," written by my Harvard
colleagues Dr. Jefferson B. Prince and Dr.
Shelley Carson. In this book, Drs. Prince
and Carson discuss proven strategies to
help improve your mood, renew your energy and restore your spirit. You can find
more information about the book at my
website, below.
If you think you might be depressed, but
your doctor says you don't meet the criteria for depression, don't let that mean that
there is nothing to be done for you. You
can get help.

Protect your winter
landscape from
hungry wildlife
By MELINDA MYERS
There’s no doubt that managing critters in the landscape
can be a challenge especially as
food supplies start to dwindle.
If you are battling with rabbits, deer, groundhogs or other
wildlife, don’t let down your
guard as the growing season
begins to wind down.
Be proactive. Start before
they get into the habit of dining on your landscape. It is
easier to keep them away than
break the dining habit.
Fence them out. Fencing is
the best defense against most
wildlife. A four feet tall fence
around a small garden will
keep out rabbits. Secure the
bottom tight to the ground or
bury it several inches to prevent rabbits and voles from
crawling underneath. Or fold
the bottom of the fence outward, making sure it’s tight to
the ground. Animals tend not
to crawl under when the bottom skirt faces away from the
garden.
Go deeper, at least 12 to 18
inches, if you are trying to discourage
woodchucks.
And
make sure the gate is secure.
Many hungry animals have
found their way into the garden through openings around
and under the gate.
A five foot fence around
small garden areas can help
safeguard
your
plantings
against hungry deer. Some gardeners report success surrounding their garden with
fishing line mounted on posts
at one and three foot heights.
Break out the repellents.
Homemade and commercial
repellents can be used. Apply
before the animals start feeding and reapply as directed.
Consider using a natural product like Messina’s Animal
Stopper (Messinas.com). It is
made of herbs, safe to use and
smells good.
Scare ‘em away. Blow up
owls, clanging pans, rubber
snakes, slivers of deodorant
soap, handfuls of human hair
and noise makers are scare tactics that have been used by
gardeners for years. Consider
your environment when selecting a tactic. Urban animals are
used to the sound and smell of
people. Alternate scare tactics
for more effective control. The
animals won’t be afraid of a
snake that hasn’t moved in
weeks.
Combine tactics. Use a mix
of fencing, scare tactics and
repellents. Keep monitoring
for damage. If there are enough
animals and they are hungry,
they will eat just about anything.
Don’t forget about nature.
Welcome hawks and fox into
your landscape. Using less pesticides and tolerating some
critters, their food source, will
encourage them to visit your
yard. These natural pest controllers help keep the gardenmunching critters under control.
And most importantly, don’t
give up. A bit of persistence,
variety and adaptability is the
key to success. Investing some
time now will not only deter
existing critters from dining in
your landscape, but will also
reduce the risk of animals moving in next season.

Designing bedrooms for the modern kid
By KIM COOK
The Associated Press
Like a lot of modern decor,
children’s rooms are enjoying a
rethinking.
No longer restrained by oldschool ideals for juvenile decor,
these spaces now feature elements that transcend genres and
traditional gender themes. Decorators and retailers offer options
that fling the design doors wide
open — and how much fun is that
for a child?
So let’s check out what’s cool,
cozy and clever for kid’s rooms.
New York designer Amanda
Nisbet uses elements like pop
art, ‘70s modern furniture, and
crisp, energetic hues like bright
yellow, soda orange and magenta
to make bedrooms lively, friendly
and fun. (www.amandanisbetdesign.com )
Nancy Twomey of Alexandria,
Va., blends neutral hues with
dashes of gentle color — soft
coral, sea blue, fresh pea green —
and adds whimsical notes such
as mirrored rabbit decals, papier
mache safari animal wall art and
ceramic tree stump tables to create charming, sophisticated
rooms that children could enjoy
from crib to college. (www.finniansmoon.com )
Associated Press
A YOUNG boy’s love of cars works well to decorate his bedroom and
looks chic and contemporary.
In modern families, some kids
divide their sleeping time
between a couple of households,
often in rooms that serve another
function when the child isn’t
there. Providing such spaces
requires a little extra thought
and ingenuity, says Ikea North
America’s U.S. design leader,
Josee Berlin. The aim is to help
children feel at ease in their
sleeping area.
“A child’s own space can be as
simple as a soft, comfortable,
cozy bed. Smart options like the
old-fashioned, tried and true
bunk bed can really transform a
space for many children,” Berlin
says.
Ikea’s Kritter, Gulliver and
Hemnes models would serve well
as daybeds.
A curtained rod can divide
rooms like offices or large bedrooms into smaller spaces for
young visitors. Get something
comfy underfoot — a fluffy, fun
shag or a warm, flat-weave rug.
If carpeting isn’t an option, heat
the bedroom floors from below.
It’s best not to make the
theme of a child’s room too narrow, says Jami Supsic, an editor
at Country Living magazine.
“A stumbling block for many
when they design their child’s
rooms is that they make it all
about the time period the child’s
in at that moment. This leaves no
room for growth or change,” she
says. “Use accessories and toys to
identify the age of your child, but
leave walls, window treatments
and furnishings mature.”
If your daughter loves
princesses, don’t buy everything
from bedding to wallpaper — go
with an overall look that suggests the theme. Supsic says ruffles, damask and crystals do the
job.
“They say girly girl, without
saying baby girl,” she says.
French chateau-inspired furnishings — chandeliers, mirrors,
rugs and furniture — set the
stage. You can add tiara-emblazoned pillows, regal doll houses,
and other toys and accessories.
Editing over time will honor an
early obsession, yet reflect her
developing maturity.
Associated Press
A YOUNG girl’s room, as seen in Country Living magazine, features headboards upholstered in a sophisticated ikat print. Add bright, poppy, teen colors to elegant, worldly textiles for upholstered headboards great
for a non-adult’s room.
Kids who love magical-themed
stories might like animal- or
star-shaped table lamps, moody
hues like deep violet or charcoal
gray, and inventive and modular
furniture that suggests a place of
enchantment. Imagine Living
has a bear-shaped side table, and
another that looks like a mushroom. One can imagine being
down Alice’s rabbit hole, or on
the road to Hogwarts.
For boys who love dinosaurs or
ships, consider framing the bedroom in colors that evoke that
interest — a palette of greens
and grays, perhaps, or oceanic
blues and whites. Layer in cre-
ative elements that spark imagination. Reptile fans might love
some of the photographic nature
posters at zazzle.com .
Cool dino heads, wall-mounted sculptural art for any age, are
at www.modcloth.com .
Graphic imagery and patterns
with a modern vibe can be found
in nautical elements like wallmounted anchors and sail flags,
as well as shell shadow boxes
and seashore-inspired decals.
“An upholstered headboard in
a boy’s room can be masculine
and tailored, yet soft and comforting”, says Supsic.
Check out Land of Nod for eye-
catching collections that reference themes kids relate to: Woodland Fairytale, Vintage Explorer,
and Black & White tap into storybook, adventure and artistic
imagery.
Inspire an interest in the big
wide world with tribal patterned
bedding, pieces of African or
Asian art, and accessories that
open children’s minds to the
globe. A collection of elephants
on a bookcase; a recycled toy basket made halfway across the
world; an origami mobile. Exposing children to other cultures just
may be the most modern design
move we can make.
