Gogebic County Board hears promising report on mining
By RALPH ANSAMI
[email protected]
BESSEMER — The Gogebic
County Board of Commissioners
heard an encouraging report
Wednesday about the possibility
of mining returning to the western Upper Peninsula.
Dave Anderson, of Highland
Copper Company, talked about
the future of the Copperwood
site, near Wakefield, and a possible return to mining at White
Pine.
Highland, a Canadian firm,
acquired the Copperwood mining
project from Orvana Minerals
Corp. and has
committed
more than $20
million to the
two projects.
Anderson
said
Copperwood remains
“constructionready” and mining there would
Dave
Anderson
likely
begin
before it could
at White Pine.
Various state mining permits
are in place for Copperwood, but
the White Pine project would
require new permits, he said.
He said there are now 25 fulltime employees at the White
Pine refinery office and 50 people
are involved in drilling operations, as Highland continues to
tap into Michigan Technological
University for employees.
“We have a good group of people,” he said.
He noted the Copperwood project would involve mining for
about 13 years, while mining
north of the previously mined
area in White Pine would last
from 40 to 50 years.
There will be no smelter at
White Pine, he said, mentioning
Utah, Quebec or perhaps Michigan as possible refinery sites.
Anderson said Highland officials have been invited to Gov.
Rick Snyder’s state-of-state
address next week and the company has received good cooperation from lawmakers “from both
sides of the aisle,” including U.S.
Sen. Debbie Stabenow.
County board members had
questions about transporting the
ore from the Wakefield Township
site.

WAKEFIELD — The Michigan State Police Wakefield Post
has a new Community Service
Trooper, a liaison between the
post and the community.
Trooper Jerry Mazurek, a 15year veteran of the Wakefield
post, will provide a number of
services in the community,
including at local schools.
The CST was created in 2010
after the MSP received a Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Grant. At that
time, 21 CSTs were installed in
posts across the state.
Because of the success of the
program, MSP decided to expand
it, requiring there be at least one
CST in each of the 29 posts
across Michigan. Currently,
there are 34 CSTs around the
state.
The goal of the position is to
focus on community outreach
and to help strengthen communi-
ties.
Locally,
Mazurek will

Mazurek has an advantage
when it comes to his role as CST.
He was born and raised in
Ontonagon and has lived in the
area for the last 15 years.
“It feels like a natural fit,” he
said. “It makes it a lot easier,

BESSEMER — Two new
board members and two incumbents were sworn in at a special
school board meeting on
Wednesday.
Bob Berg and Annette Lillie
along with newcomers Beth
Steiger and Mary Beth Trudgeon were administered the oath
of office by Superintendent Dave
Radovich.
Berg was elected as the temporary chairman and Lillie proposed the officers remain the
same as well.
Personnel decisions
The board accepted a letter of
resignation from para-professional Barb Adams.
The position she left is four
and a half hours per day.
“Three hours is food service,”
said business manager Chris
Berquist. The last hour and a
half is spent working in “a program that the ISD is actually
paying the aid for. It’s a speech
therapist, online thing,” she
said.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Several members of Congress are
preparing to introduce legislation soon to take wolves in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and
Wyoming off the endangered list.
It’s an effort to undo recent
court decisions that have blocked
the four states from allowing
hunting and trapping of wolves
for sport and predator control.
U.S. Rep. Reid Ribble, of Wisconsin, is leading the effort. Cosponsors include U.S. Rep. Collin

In a few instances, the clerks
will ask to measure or weigh fish
and to take scale samples to
gather key biological information
on anglers’ catches.
The efforts are part of a
statewide program designed to
track recreational fisheries
across Michigan waters of the
Great Lakes and selected inland
waters.
Creel clerks will also interview anglers at Munising, Au

Bonovetz said the rail commission
members
were
informed that Canadian National realizes mining potential in
Gogebic and Ontonagon counties and wouldn’t abandon the
line.
After Anderson’s presentation, the county board agreed to
advertise for a mine inspector.
The position is now vacant.
It requires 10 years of mining
experience.
The mine inspector is paid a
$100 annual salary and $40 per
each visit he or she makes to

was being revitalized. He said
shipping by rail is the “most
socially accepted” method.
He also mentioned the possibility of a “utility corridor” using
a conveyor line to cover the distance.
County board chairman Joe
Bonovetz, of Bessemer, and commissioner Ton Laabs, of Ironwood, sit on a special regional
rail committee and they stressed
the importance of keeping that

The bill uses a strategy that

blocked those efforts. Congress
took matters into its own hands
in 2011 and lifted the federal
protections in those two states.

ment,” as NASA called it,
occurred around 4 a.m. EST, well
into the station crew’s workday.
As alarms blared, the astronauts followed emergency procedures in slapping on oxygen
masks, taking cover in the Russian quarters, then sealing the
hatches between the U.S. and
Russian sides. At the same time,
flight controllers at NASA’s
Johnson Space Center in Houston turned off non-essential
equipment.
Within minutes, Mission Control gave an all-clear, but sent
the astronauts scurrying back
over to the Russian side again
when there was more evidence of
a possible leak of the coolant.
The highly toxic liquid ammonia, flowing outside the space
station, is used to cool electronics. Flight controllers originally
feared it had gotten into the
water system running inside.
Now, it’s believed that a failed
card in a computer-relay box was
the culprit.
The crew — three Russians,
two Americans and the Italian
Cristoforetti — stayed in the
three, relatively small Russian
compartments while Mission
Control analyzed data. Engineers wanted to understand the
computer failure and confirm
“that the system is tight like we
believe it to be,” space station
program manager Mike Suffredini said on NASA TV.
About 11 hours after the
ammonia system-alarm sounded,
the hatch to the U.S. segment
was reopened. Cristoforetti and
U.S. astronaut Terry Virts ran
tests and no ammonia was
detected.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
(AP) — In a rare scare, astronauts fled the American side of
the International Space Station
on Wednesday after an alarm
indicated a possible toxic leak.
NASA later said there was no
leak of ammonia coolant and a
computer problem likely set off
the false alarm.
By Wednesday afternoon, the
astronauts were back in the U.S.
part of the orbiting outpost. Earlier, the six crew members had
huddled safely on the Russian
side — once when the alarm
sounded and again following an
initial all-clear.
“Hey everybody, thanks for

ODESSA, Texas (AP) — Eight
inmates and two corrections officers died Wednesday when a
prison bus skidded off an icy
West Texas highway, slid down
an embankment and collided
with a passing freight train,
authorities said.
The overpass on Interstate 20
was slick with ice Wednesday
morning when the Texas Department of Criminal Justice bus left
the roadway in Penwell, just
west of Odessa, according to
Ector County Sheriff Mark Donaldson.
An earlier accident on the I-20
overpass may have contributed
to the prison bus losing control,
Donaldson said.
The Texas Department of
Criminal Justice confirmed the
10 deaths in a statement, adding
that four prisoners and one corrections officer were injured.
“It’s as bad as you can imagine,” Odessa Fire and Rescue
Battalion Chief Kavin Tinney
told the Odessa American newspaper. “In 32 years it’s as bad as
anything I’ve seen.”
Tiffany Harston, spokeswoman for Medical Center Hospital
in Odessa, said four of the
injured are in critical condition
and one is in serious condition.
“It’s with a heavy heart that
we mourn the loss of those killed
and injured this morning in a
tragic accident,” said Brad Livingston, executive director of the
Department of Criminal Justice.
“Their loved ones will be in our
thoughts and prayers.”
Jason Clark, a spokesman for
the Department of Criminal Justice, said the bus was taking the
inmates from the Middleton
prison in Abilene to the Sanchez
prison in El Paso. The prisoners
were handcuffed together in
pairs.
After the accident around 7:30
a.m., the white bus came to rest
on its side, next to the railroad
tracks, crumpled with heavy
damage to its front and undercarriage. The top of the bus was
caved inward.
The Union Pacific freight
train with four locomotives and
58 cars came to a stop soon
after. None of the cars derailed,
but two containers at the rear of
the train were damaged, said
Mark
Davis,
a
railroad
spokesman.
The containers were carrying
hundreds of parcels and packages, many of which were strewn
along the tracks.
No Union Pacific employees
were injured.
The train, which was traveling from the Los Angeles area to
Marion, Ark., remained stopped
at the accident site several hours
after the accident, Davis said.
“We’ll send crews to inspect
the train, inspect the track,” he
said.
The National Transportation
Safety Board said it’s sending its
own team of inspectors to the
scene.
State Rep. Tan Parker notified the Texas House of the accident and led a moment of silence.
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick
issued a statement offering condolences to the families of those
killed in the wreck.
“I also pray for a speedy recovery of a third correctional staff
member and four offenders who
were transported with injuries,”
he said.
In June, an inmate was killed
and several other people were
injured when a Department of
Criminal Justice van collided
with a car in Central Texas.
2 men reach top of Yosemite’s
El Capitan in historic climb
YOSEMITE NATIONAL
PARK, Calif. (AP) — A pair of
Americans on Wednesday completed what had long been considered the world’s most difficult
rock climb, using only their
hands and feet to ascend a 3,000foot vertical wall on El Capitan,
the forbidding granite pedestal
in Yosemite National Park that
has beckoned adventurers for
more than half a century.
Tommy Caldwell and Kevin
Jorgeson became the first to freeclimb the rock formation’s Dawn
Wall, a feat that many had considered impossible. They used
ropes and safety harnesses to
catch them in case of a fall, but
relied entirely on their own
strength and dexterity to ascend
by grasping cracks as thin as
razor blades and as small as
dimes.
The effort took 19 days, as the
two dealt with constant falls and
injuries. But their success completes a yearslong dream that
bordered on obsession for the
men.
Caldwell finished the climb
first Wednesday afternoon.
Jorgeson caught up minutes
later. The two embraced before
Jorgeson pumped his arms in the
air and clapped his hands above
his head. They then sat down for
a few minutes, gathered their
gear, changed their clothes and
hiked to the summit.
The trek up the world’s
largest granite monolith began
Dec. 27. Caldwell and Jorgeson
lived on the wall itself. They ate
and slept in tents fastened to the
rock thousands of feet above the
ground and battled painful cuts
to their fingertips much of the
way.

PEOPLE WATCH as two climbers vying to become the first in the world
to use only their hands and feet to scale a sheer slab of granite and
make their way to the summit of El Capitan Wednesday, in Yosemite
National Park, Calif. The pair, 30-year-old Kevin Jorgeson of California
and 36-year-old Tommy Caldwell of Colorado, completed their climb
early Wednesday afternoon, a spokeswoman said.
chisels to carve out handholds.
Instead, they climb inch by inch,
wedging their fingertips and feet
into tiny crevices or gripping
sharp, thin projections of rock.
In
photographs,
the
two
appeared at times like SpiderMan, with arms and legs splayed
across the pale rock that has
been described as smooth as a
bedroom wall.
Both men needed to take rest
days to wait for their skin to
heal. They used tape and even
superglue to help with the process. At one point, Caldwell set
an alarm to wake him every few
hours to apply a special lotion to
his throbbing hands.
They also took physical punishment when their grip would
slip, pitching them into long,
swinging falls that left them
bouncing off the rock face. The
tumbles, which they called “taking a whipper,” ended in
startling jolts from their safety
ropes.
Caldwell and Jorgeson had
help from a team of supporters
who brought food and supplies
and shot video of the adventure.
The 36-year-old Caldwell and
30-year-old Jorgeson ate canned
peaches and occasionally sipped
whiskey.

but it’s a step that we can take.”
Bryant said the group’s board
of directors voted in November to
impose the ban, after some children didn’t heed past warnings
not to “fire” toy weapons at past
festivals.
“Kids want to demonstrate
them, and boys will be boys,”
Bryant said.
But some say the ban is too
much, including Mike Reinert, of
Patton Township, whose son has
built ping pong ball catapults
that have drawn large crowds in
recent years.
“I understand they want to be
careful and not encourage
weapons and violence, so I can try
to appreciate their position,”
Reinert said. “On the other hand,
we have a military that uses
them and is violent just so we can
have this conversation.”
And some of the “boys who will
be boys” are girls, who are disappointed, too.

lllinois family creates
45-foot icicle in yard
ST. ELMO, Ill. (AP) — An Illinois family has created a 45-foottall icicle in their front yard.
Katherine Ragel of St. Elmo in
in south-central Illinois’ Fayette
County says she’s worried there
might be an accident because
passing traffic sometimes will
“stop in the middle of the road.”
Ragel’s son, Garrick Moreland, made the icicle. The tree
trimmer climbed into one of
Ragel’s trees with a hose and
turned on the water when temperatures dropped a few weeks
ago. The icicle kept growing.
The Effingham Daily News
reports the idea originally came
from Ragel’s late husband, Alan
Ragel, who liked to build smaller
icicles along the driveway.
St. Elmo is about 20 miles
southwest of Effingham on Interstate 70.

Toy weapons banned from Pennsylvania arts festival
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP)
— Toy weapons have been
banned from a Pennsylvania arts
festival where kids sell handmade arts and crafts because
organizers believe it’s a step

This summer’s Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts will
include a Youth Day on July 8,

sell their wares on the sidewalks
of downtown State College.
Top weapons — including rubber band guns, light sabers and
anything that launches a projectile — will not be permitted, the
Centre Daily Times reported
Wednesday.
“We live in especially violent

In Their Opinion
Blood alcohol
change for boaters,
sledders good idea
The Mining Journal supports legislation that Gov. Rick
Snyder signed into law early last week, toughening the
legal threshold for intoxication for snowmobilers and
boaters.
The bill, which enjoyed bi-partisan support in both
houses of the Michigan Legislature, changed from .10 to
.08 the amount of alcohol permissible in the system of a
boater or snowmobiler.
“It is vital to keep our waterways and other recreational areas safe for all Michiganders,” Snyder said in a statement included in Associated Press coverage of the issue.
We couldn’t agree more.
AP reported that the House in 2003 and 2005 voted
overwhelmingly to make the limit 0.08 for all vehicle
users, but the legislation died in the Senate, apparently
in part because critics felt the only reason the blood alcohol limit for drunken driving had been lowered was
because the state faced the loss of federal funding.
Rep. Matt Lori, a Constantine Republican who sponsored two of the four bills, said he was “elated” that the
package got to Snyder’s desk, stated AP.
There was never a good reason, politics aside, that this
action wasn’t taken before. We were glad to see the governor and Legislature rectify this.

Letters to the Editor
Time is now to support
Relay for Life
To the Editor,
What started as one man
walking around a track in Tacoma, Wash., 30 years ago this
spring has grown into the world’s
largest movement to fight back
against cancer.
Today, more than four million
people participate in American
Cancer Society Relay For Life
events in 6,000 communities
worldwide. The Gogebic County
Relay For Life is one of them,
and I want to encourage people
from every part of our community to get involved. Plans are
underway for the American Cancer Society event, set for Aug.
2015. And don’t worry, there is
no running involved!
We have made tremendous
progress in recent years. The
five-year survival rate for all
cancers has climbed to 68 percent. The Relay For Life event
celebrates this. We also know
there is more work to do to finish
the fight once and for all. Community volunteers are the backbone of this movement, and we
need more to join our team.
Together, our efforts will help
save lives by funding groundbreaking research and increasing our understanding of prevention and early detection.
The Relay For Life program
also helps to fund important support for families facing cancer
and ensures cancer patients’
voices are heard on important
public policy issues. This year it’s
especially important that we get
people to volunteer for the event,
as we’re saying goodbye to Carole Lillar, who has acted as the
lead of our event planning team
for the last 3 years.
Carole has put her heart and
soul in to leading this event and
on behalf of the American Cancer
Society and all of our volunteers
we want to thank her for her
commitment to the fight against
cancer. She looks forward to
enjoying the event as a team captain for her Bessemer-Wakefield
VFW relay team.
Now is the time for individuals, families, clubs, faith-based
groups and businesses in Gogebic County to step up and help
finish the fight against cancer by
participating in the Relay For
Life. Several critical positions on
our leadership team are still
unfilled.
Celebrate survivors. Remember loved ones no longer here.
Pledge to fight back against this
disease. I invite everyone to form
a team and volunteer for the
American Cancer Society and the
Relay For Life event today.

OPINION
Students: How they learn, how they don’t
At Pittsfield Middle High School in southeastern New Hampshire, the students are
individually and actively involved in their
own learning. This enlivening approach to
education, which I’ve been advocating for
years, is beginning in an evolving number of
schools around the country.
Here, Emily Richmond of the Hechinger
Report, an education news site, writes, “student-led discussions, small-group work and
individual projects dominate” (“Putting students in charge to close the achievement
gap,” Emily Richmond, The Hechinger
Report, Oct. 24, 2014).
As Noah Manteau, a senior at Pittsfield,
tells Richmond: “There used to be a lot more
of teachers talking at you — it didn’t matter
if you were ready to move on. When the
teacher was done with the topic that was it.
This is so much better.”
Richmond adds: “Educators, researchers
and policymakers at the state and national
level are keeping close tabs on Pittsfield,
which has become an incubator for a critical
experiment in school reform. The goal: a
stronger connection between academic learning and the kind of real-world experience
that advocates say can translate into postsecondary success.”
This kind of goal could turn future generations of Americans into more knowledgeable
participants of what our nation began as: a
self-governing republic whose Bill of Rights
guaranteed each American individual constitutional liberties.
For years, educational reformers have too
often just glibly emphasized “critical thinking” as a key goal of education. But students
who are mainly talked at by teachers and
then graded by collective standardized tests
don’t get to do much critical thinking in
school.
By contrast, here is some of Richmond’s
report of a class she observed:
“In an 11th-grade English class ... Jenny
Wellington’s students were gathered in a circle debating Henry David Thoreau’s positions on personal responsibility.”
One student asked: “Do you think Thoreau
really was about ‘every man for himself’?”
To this, another student responded: “He
lived alone in the woods and didn’t want to
pay taxes. So yeah!”
“Sitting off to the side,” writes Richmond,
“Wellington took rapid notes. When she
noticed the conversation being dominated by
a couple of voices, she politely suggested
someone else chime in. Otherwise, she stayed
out of the way and let the discussion take

shape.”
So how, at Pittsfield, are these individual
learners being graded?
Richmond answers: “The traditional grading system has been replaced with a matrix
of ‘competencies,’ detailing the skills and
knowledge students are expected to master
in each class.
“Students are graded on a scale of 1 to 4 —
with 2.5 considered ‘proficient’ — and those
numbers are converted into letter grades for
their transcripts.”
In addition, “teachers meet at regular
intervals to review how closely their instruction is aligning with the competencies; they
use an online database to continually track
individual student growth.
“Additional online classes allow students
to further challenge themselves and earn college credit ...”
And dig this: “The Extended Learning
Opportunities (ELO) program allows students to earn credit for workplace experiences that reinforce their academic studies,
such as interning at a dentist’s office or the
local radio station.”
Accordingly, “all of this means students
are shouldering more responsibility for their
own learning.
“And they are expected to develop the kind
of critical thinking skills — not just rote
knowledge — required for ‘real world’ success.” (Emphasis added.)
So how is all this working out?
“Pittsfield’s superintendent, John Freeman, is among the first to acknowledge that
adopting student-centered learning was a
bold move. Student performance on
statewide assessments has long been uneven,
and teachers and administrators know there
is still significant work to be done.
“But test scores are just one indicator, and
based on multiple other measures, including
higher graduation and college-going rates,
Freeman feels confident that student-cen-
tered learning is moving Pittsfield in the
right direction.”
Also worth noting is the composition of the
town’s students: “Pittsfield, a former mill
town, has about 4,500 predominantly white
students, and the Middle High School serves
about 260 residents. Fifty-six percent of them
qualify for free or reduced-price meals.”
Although these kids are predominantly
white, I haven’t the slightest doubt that
encouraging active individual involvement
would be of exceptional, sustained value to
predominantly black or Hispanic schools and
those other schools with underserved students.
In Pittsfield, Richmond assures us, “student-centered learning is fully in place in the
high school, and elements of it are being
phased in at the middle-school level. The
long-term plan is to eventually add it to the
nearby elementary school.”
From time to time, I will keep you up to
date on those results.
Superintendent Freeman tells Richmond:
“People in our community wanted schools to
be places where students’ passions and interests were recognized, and their deficits and
weaknesses addressed.”
He adds: “We’re thinking not just about
what happens within these walls, but preparing them for success at least seven years
beyond high school graduation.”
And conceivably, I believe, for the rest of
their lives.
Laureen Avery of UCLA Center X, an education program that focuses on public
schools, tells Richmond:
“I’ve never seen any school — big or little
— pay such close attention to student data.”
Not just “data,” but continuing real-life
evidence of how students learn.
Among voters in 2016, I challenge students, parents, teachers, school board members, state legislators and those in Congress
to compare their school systems to what is
happening in Pittsfield. What achievements
are their school systems making to deepen
and individualize students’ futures?
I don’t know whom I’ll vote for president in
2016. But if any candidate convinces me that
he or she has believable plans for increasing
students’ love of learning, I — despite arthritis — will be at the polls early.

activity throughout the state.
Helsel also showed a presentation on what will be known as
the Himanka Hill Recreational
Area, comprised of more than
800 acres in the Himanka Hill
and Holombo road areas in
Haight Township.
The plan is to log the area
beginning this year through
2018 and then gradually turn the
area into a family recreational
area for both off-road vehicle and
non-motorized leisure pursuits.
When the area is completed, a
trail will run to Bond Falls, and
will connect to trails in Wisconsin. Part of the trail, Forst Road
5320 or the CC road, should be
open next year.
William Fischer, president of
the Ontonagon County Economic
Partnership, gave a presentation
about the necessity for providing
top quality technical training to
students and others in light of
the proposed new mine at White
Pine.
Fischer offered an overview of
what the training might look
like,
and
Jim
Bobula,
principal/superintendent of the
Ontonagon
Area
Schools,
described what is already in
place at the high school that
could be used for training. Bobula said he is in meetings with the
intermediate school district and
will be meeting with Highland
Copper management to see how
the school district could provide
training for individuals who
could be future employees.
Sue Preiss, treasurer of the
OCEP, spoke about how funding
could be obtained for the training.
Fischer asked the planning
commission for a resolution to
support the efforts of the OCEP
as it moves forward with this
project. The formal resolution
read, “The Ontonagon County
Planning Commission fully supports and endorses the Ontonagon County Technical Skills
Education Initiative as led by
OCEP and other leadership entities.”
It was approved on a unanimous vote.
The planning commission
asked Fischer to bring his presentation to the next county commissioners’ meeting.
Village of Ontonagon authorizes
some “let-run” for residents
ONTONAGON — Village of
Ontonagon manager Joe Erickson reported Monday that while
the lame-duck legislature passed
a transportation funding bill, it
must be approved on a voters’
ballot proposal in May before it
becomes effective.
It would increase the state
sales tax from 6 percent to 7 percent and remove the motor fuel
tax.
The 2015-16 draft budget will
be ready for the first meeting in
February.
The village is authorizing
some “let-run water” accounts,
unlike last year, when it was a
community-wide situation.
There was a major watermain
break on Michigan Avenue and
getting through three feet of
frost was a special challenge that
required heavy equipment from
Pestka Construction. Erickson
will propose an alternative
means to break through the
heavy frost.
There have been numerous
calls from village residents asking about whether or not to open
their faucets to prevent winter
freeze-ups. The policy usually
involves 50 or more customers.
Erickson was concerned that
some homeowners are running
more than a “pencil stream” of
water, consuming 50,000 gallons
of water or more. Freeze-ups
inside a house on the inner meter
side are the responsibility of the
homeowner.
Erickson suggested looking at
each individual case to determine if the freeze-up situation is
correctable. He asked to meet
with the water committee to consider standards, such as what
constitutes a “pencil stream” of
water.
A credit card payment feature
is being used for payment of
water bills, including some delinquent accounts.
Artificial ice in the recreation
building, instead of operating the
expensive compressors, was discussed. The general feeling of
council was if the village can cut
costs at the recreation building,
dollars spent by the hockey association will go a lot further.
The meeting concluded with
discussion of various pieces of
equipment the village may consider purchasing and modification to lighting in village buildings to be become more efficient.
RNC panel censures Michigan
member over gay, Muslim remarks
CORONADO, Calif. (AP) —
The Republican National Committee’s executive committee
voted to censure Michigan Republican David Agema for what it
calls “harmful rhetoric” about
gays and Muslims.
At the outset of the RNC’s winter meeting near San Diego, the
panel said Michigan Republican
National Committeeman Dave
Agema’s history of “harmful and
offensive rhetoric” has no place in
the party.
G R E AT L A K E S
Last March, Agema posted on
Facebook an unsubstantiated
claim that gays account for half
the murders in large cities. Last
month, he told a Michigan county
GOP committee that gay Americans tried to obtain health insurance because they risk contracting
AIDS.
Agema also came under fire
from the Council on AmericanIslamic Relations for a Facebook
posting this month questioning
Muslims’ commitment to charity.

IN THIS May 1, 2011, file photo, a cargo ship moves through a lock at St. Catharines, Ontario, that is part of
the Welland Canal linking Lakes Erie and Ontario. Scientists say there are serious flaws with tests of equipment designed to kill invasive species in ballast water, which cargo ships use for stability but which is
believed to have brought invasive species to U.S. waters.
Report: Tests of ballast
water treatment
systems are flawed
TRAVERSE CITY (AP) —
Government-sanctioned tests
of equipment designed to cleanse
ship ballast water of invasive
species are seriously flawed
because they don’t determine
whether the systems will remove
microbes that cause gastrointestinal illnesses, scientists said
Wednesday.
Ballast water provides stability for cargo ships in rough seas.
But it’s believed to have introduced numerous invaders to U.S.
coastal waters and the Great
Lakes, including zebra mussels,
spotted jellyfish and Japanese
shore crabs, along with bacteria
and viruses.
The Environmental Protection
Agency and the Coast Guard
have set limits on the number of
live organisms ballast water can
contain, based on standards proposed by an international agency
in 2004. To comply, ship companies must install technology that
kills enough creatures to meet
the limits.
Laboratory testing of treat-
ment systems has been conducted for 10 years. But a newly published paper in the Marine Pollution Bulletin contends the evaluations have a crucial defect: They
don’t adequately measure the
systems’ effectiveness against
three disease-carrying microbes
that the regulations target. One
of them, E. coli, can indicate the
presence of fecal sewage.
“This is a real problem,” said
Andrew Cohen of the Center for
Research on Aquatic Bioinvasions in Richmond, Calif., who
wrote the paper with Fred Dobbs
of Old Dominion University in
Virginia. “We know there are
serious pathogens in ballast
water. There’s good evidence
that ballast water has moved
them around the world and into
U.S. waters.”
The Coast Guard declined to
comment and theEPA had no
immediate reaction to the report.
Some experts believe ballast
water from Asia caused a 1991
cholera outbreak in South America that killed 10,000 people,
Cohen said. According to the
paper, at least 38 species of disease-causing bacteria have been
detected in ballast tanks.
Companies are developing onboard cleansing systems using
tools such as filters, chemicals,
ozone and ultraviolet light. University and private laboratories
are testing how well they work.
Fifty-three systems have won
approval from at least one country with membership in the
International Maritime Organization.
The U.S. Coast Guard and
EPA have yet to certify any system but have allowed the temporary use of 45 endorsed by other
nations.
Cohen and Dobbs said they
obtained data from 390 tests conducted on 38 treatment systems
between 2004 and 2013. They
said in 95 percent of the tests,
the water samples contained so
few of the targeted microbes from
the start that they met the standards even before the treatments
began.
Coalition works to improve
cancer vaccinations in teens
WASHBURN, Wis. — The
Superior Immunization Coalition
is joining a national effort to
improve rates of vaccinating
teens against a virus that causes
cancer.
Figures from 2013, the latest
available, show about 19 percent
of northern Wisconsin teens aged
13 to 17 had received the three
vaccinations necessary to prevent human papillomavirus
infection, which can cause cervical, anal and oral cancers.
“We know that our region can
do better, and our New Year’s
resolution for 2015 is to improve
our vaccination rates,” said Terri
Kramolis, of the Bayfield County
Health Department.
The coalition includes Ashland, Bayfield, Price, Sawyer
and Iron counties. It was one of
16 local coalitions to receive a
grant from the Wisconsin Immunization Program and the Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer
Control Program to promote and
support HPV vaccine-related
activities within the communities.
The Superior coalition will
work with local schools and
clinical providers to increase
knowledge of the HPV vaccine
safety and promote vaccinating
teens.
Dr. Noelle LoConte, associate
professor of medicine at the University of Wisconsin-Madison,
said because the HPV virus is
known to cause cancer, getting
the vaccine is one of the surest
ways to prevent it.
“One of the goals is to reduce
the risk of people in our state
getting cancer,” said LoConte, an
oncologist. “By increasing the
use of the HPV vaccine
statewide, we are closing the
door to cancer for our children’s
generation,” she said.
LoConte is a member of the
UW Carbone Cancer Center, one
of 18 National Cancer Institute
centers that received grants to
improve HPV vaccine rates. The
NCI centers are meeting this
week about improving HPV vaccination rates nationwide.
Mercer youth sentenced for possessing pot
By RALPH ANSAMI
[email protected]
HURLEY — A Mercer youth
was sentenced Monday for possession of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.
Anthony
Thompson,
20,
entered a no contest plea to the
charge and was placed on probation for a year. If he doesn’t get
into any legal trouble in the next
12 months, the misdemeanor
charge will be expunged, Madden
ruled.
A charge of possessing drug
paraphernalia was dismissed.
Thompson was also ordered to
pay court costs and assessments
for a total of $443.
Thompson’s attorney, public
defender Aaron Marcoux, said
his client was charged after he
had received a ride from a
deputy, who later found a pipe
with marijuana residue in
Thompson’s possession.
Iron County Sheriff’s Department deputy Larry Koivisto was
the arresting officer in August.
Madden said having a clean
record is especially important
when a young person applies for
a job or seeks higher education.
He said while many states have
decriminalized marijuana, Wisconsin isn’t one of them.
“If marijuana is that important to you, move to Colorado,”
the judge advised. “You’ve been
tapped, don’t get whacked,” he
added.
Case dismissed
In an unrelated case on Monday, domestic battery and disorderly conduct charges and a bail
jumping allegation were dismissed without prejudice against
Dawn Laguna, 44, of Hurley.

Flower girl, ring bearer
wed nearly 20 years later
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) —
When a flower girl and ring
bearer from Minnesota walked
down the aisle at their relatives’
wedding in 1995, little did they
know they would do it again
nearly 20 years later.
A chance encounter in a college classroom brought Brittney
Husbyn and Briggs Fussy
together again. Fussy says Husbyn turned around in class one
day and said she thought she
might have a photo of him as a
ring bearer on her wall.
KMSP-TV says one date
became two and five years after
meeting in class, the couple is
right back where they started.
They walked down the aisle at
their own wedding Saturday.

IN THIS photo Alexis Donahoe and J.D. Rappold, a pair of ice skating partners from Charleston, W.Va., who
fell in love, walk down the aisle after being married, in front of more than 100 friends and family members
who were sitting atop the ice at the South Charleston Memorial Ice Arena in South Charleston, W.Va.
West Virginia couple’s
wedding held at ice rink
SOUTH
CHARLESTON,
W.Va. (AP) — Alexis Donahoe
had cold feet as she walked down
the aisle and approached her
soon-to-be husband, James “J.D.”
Rappold, at their wedding on
New Year’s Eve.
Although they had no second
thoughts, the couples’ toes were
chilly as they gathered with a
hundred of their closest friends
and family members at the South
Charleston Memorial Ice Arena
to join in holy matrimony. It was
an end-of-the-year celebration
unlike any other.
“We originally thought about
getting married in a church and
doing a reception in Huntington,” said Donahoe, 20.
But those plans changed after
Rappold, 26, jokingly suggested
they get married on ice.
Donahoe originally laughed at
the idea, Rappold said prior to
the ceremony, as he overlooked
the rink that had been converted
into a provisional wedding hall.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP)
— Listen up, married fellas.
Norman Hammond has a story
for you.
Hammond was a newlywed in
the early 1950s when he learned
a lesson about marriage and forgiveness and, well, knowing a
thing or two about your wife.
The 90-year-old and his wife,
Doris, 86, can laugh about it
now; the mistake made when he
commissioned a portrait of her
during a Navy deployment to
the Mediterranean about 64
years ago.
On the 13-by-17-inch canvas,
she is smiling with red lips, rosy
cheeks and dark, shoulderlength hair.
But it was more than 40
years before it ever hung on a
wall.
The couple, who attended
rival Garfield and Wiley high
schools in Terre Haute, Ind.,
had never met until they took
up dancing in the late 1940s.
“If you wanted to get a girl,
you had to know how to dance,”
Norman said recently.
They waltzed right into a
romance at a dancing school
where Norman said Doris “was
the prettiest girl in the whole
place.”
They married a short while

to officiate the ceremony. A relative of Donahoe, who served as
their wedding planner, was
tasked with figuring out the
logistics of using half an ice rink
as both the wedding site and
reception hall. Rappold asked a
college friend to sit in the
announcer’s booth — in between
penalty boxes — and DJ the
evening.
The couple first met four years
ago when Rappold’s mother,
Heidi, suggested they become
skating partners. Heidi Rappold
had been Donahoe’s figure skating coach since she was very
young.
Although he was fearful of
what his hockey friends might
say, Rappold gave it a try. What
began as a pair skating partnership blossomed into a relationship that was centered around
their love for the ice. Since then,
the skating pair has gone to
nationals twice, finishing in the
top 10 for the novice level.
Book lover gets
marriage proposal at
St. Albans Library
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP)
— Kristin Earley cracked open
the door of a room on the second
floor of the St. Albans Library
on Dec. 13. Glimpsing a crowd,
she thought she’d wandered
into someone else’s event.
Her friend, Danielle Moles,
who — like Earley — is a Marshall University student, had
said to meet her at the library
because she needed help with a
finals report.
Kristin’s boyfriend, David
Griffith, had come with Moles
to the library along with Josh
Goble, Griffith’s best friend.
Goble and Moles were there
for the show.
“We had roses sitting there
as soon as you walked in the
room on the left,” Griffith said.
He grabbed the dozen pink
roses and handed them to Earley as she walked in the door.
“I don’t know if she knew
what was going on at the time
because she was still like,
‘What’s going on?’ She had that
look in her eye,” Griffith
recalled.
“We had this little hollowedout book type of thing, and we
put the ring in that. So, after I
gave her the roses, I grabbed
the book and opened it and got
down on my knee.”
Then, he asked her that eternal question: “Will you marry
me?”
The people waiting in the
room — Griffith’s parents, his
sister, both sets of his grandparents, as well as Earley’s parents, her brother and one
grandma — all got to see her
answer in the affirmative.
“She was kind of shocked.”
Griffith said. “She cried a little
bit, then she laughed and
smiled. It was a good time.”
The couple had been together
for three years and, while marriage was in the cards, she
expected that a proposal might
take some more time, since
Griffith, 24, had recently landed a job as a St. Albans Police
Department patrolman.
“I was shocked,” Earley said.
“I had no idea at all. And it was
going to be hard to shock me,
after three years.”
Griffith and his mother had
also done some homework.
Earley, 21, is a senior majoring in English education at
Marshall. Her dream job is to
teach English at her alma
mater, St. Albans High School.
“So, she really loves books,”
said Griffith. “Me and my mom
sat down and were brainstorming some ideas. She’s really big
into literature and all that. So,
we came up with the idea to do
something in the library.”
They created poster boards,
cracked open like books and set
on tables, featuring photos of
the couple’s “love story,” as
Griffith put it.
He also chose a numerologically significant date for the
proposal: 12-13-14, since the
couple’s first date was Sept. 10,
2011: or 9-10-11.
The couple toured the room
after the proposal.
“It was really cool,” said Earley.
“He and his mom made
these, like, book posters. It
started out with one of our very
first dates. It was like, ‘Once
upon a time.’ It went through
the last three years. Then there
were some love poems: ‘How do
I love thee, let me count the
ways .”
And there were books, she
said. “Books are my favorite
things. So everything was bookthemed. He did a good job
there.”
Griffith, who ended his training period as an officer on New
Year’s Day, had been nervous
about whether he could successfully pull off the wedding proposal or not.
“It’s kind of hard to surprise
her,” he said. “She’s been asking about an engagement
because we’ve been together for
three years. I kept telling her it
would probably be sometime in
2015. It really caught her off
guard. Which is what I wanted,
because I wanted her to be surprised.”
And those roses? They’ll have
another use once the couple
decides on a date in 2015 for
their ceremony.
“We’re going let them dry
and use them for the rose petals
in our wedding,” Griffith said.

At
arena, they discovered half of the
ice covered with mats that
weren’t quite thick enough to
fend off the chill from the frozen
surface below their feet, dressed
up aluminum chairs and music
playing on a system normally
used for calling out hockey players’ names.
As Rappold suited up — into a
tuxedo — inside the men’s locker
room, the smell of hockey, his
favorite sport, was undeniable.
He told a groomsman how cool
the scene was. “The dream,” a
friend responded.
Rappold, who set aside his
hockey pads to become a figure
skater with Donahoe a few years
ago, was well aware of the
strangeness of the scene. “It’s not
a normal sport, so why have a
normal wedding?”
“We thought it would be very
fitting,” Donahoe said.
And with that, the two set out
to make their dream a reality.

later. About 13 months after
that, Norman was called from
the Naval Reserve to active
duty because of the war in
Korea.
The first port of call aboard
the attack transport Chilton
was Gibraltar, where merchants and artists were allowed
to board ships and sell their
wares. For $20, an artist would
look at your photograph and
turn it into an oil painting.
“Since the snapshot was in
black and white, he needed to
write down the colors to use;
brown hair, brown blouse, white
collar with white checks, brown
eyes and eyebrows,” Norman
wrote in a self-published memoir.
Four months later, when the
ship returned, the artist located
Norman and gave him the finished work. The portrait looked
like the photo, but Norman
knew something about it wasn’t
quite right.
He paid the fee, tucked the
canvas in a tube and packed it
away in his things.
When he got leave to go home
and meet his first newborn son,
he unpacked the painting and
handed it to his wife.
At first, silence.
“My eyes are blue, not
brown!” Doris said.
She said nothing else, except
“OK,” when Norman offered to
have the eyes retouched in blue.
She later added blue to the eyes
herself and packed the picture
back into its tube.
The portrait was moved from
drawers to closets to chests
through the years and to various
new houses. Norman retired as
a lieutenant commander from
the Naval Reserve. The couple
moved to Florida after he retired
from a chemical company in
1989.
It was then that Doris took
the portrait out of the tube, had
it framed and chose a spot for it
on the bedroom wall directly in
Norman’s line of sight. It was
the first thing he saw in the
morning and the last before
going to sleep.
He figured it may have been a
twice-daily reminder of his blunder years earlier. He preferred,
though, to believe it was a sign

Seized boa constrictor gets new home on Big Island
KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii (AP) — A boa
constrictor seized on Oahu in 2011 is getting
a warm welcome in its new home on Hawaii
Island.
The nearly 8-foot snake, which had been
kept in a 100-gallon aquarium at the Honolulu office of the state Department of Agriculture Plant Quarantine Branch, was
moved Friday to new digs at the Panaewa
Rainforest Zoo & Gardens.
Children pressed up against the glass of
the boa constrictor’s enclosure for a view of it
flicking its black tongue and its tan and black
body stretched to full length, West Hawaii
Today reported.
Ken Smith, general manager of the Petco
store in Kailua-Kona, gave tips on how to
handle the snake.
Hawaii County Councilman Dennis
“Fresh” Onishi, who helped secure it, tentatively touched its sides and then lifted a few
loops of reptile.
“It’s very smooth,” Onishi said, “but I
could feel his muscles underneath.”
The Hawaii County Council on Wednesday approved a resolution authorizing the
mayor to enter into an agreement with the
state to provide a holding facility at the zoo
for prohibited animals.
The new 8-by-3-foot exhibit was built to
specifications by county Parks and Recreation Department staff.
The snake is a temporary resident but zoo
director Pam Mizuno hopes it stays a long
time. The zoo plans to use the snake to teach
people about rain forest animals and the
damage they could cause if they are loosed on
the almost snake-free Hawaiian Islands.
The Department of Agriculture has an
amnesty program that allows people turning
in the reptile pets or other alien species to
avoid prosecution.

Paulwarns about people getting
undeserved disability payments
MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) —
Republican Sen. Rand Paul said
Wednesday that some people
“game the system” to receive disability payments they don’t
deserve and later criticized the
federal government for not doing
an adequate job policing a system he says needs reform.
During a meeting with Republican state lawmakers, Paul said
fraud is a widespread problem in
disability programs that help
people who are injured at work.
He joked that “half the people on
disability are either anxious or
their back hurts.”
“Join the club,” Paul said.
“Everybody over 40 has a back
pain.”
The Kentucky Republican
added: “We all know people who
are horrifically disabled and
can’t work, but if you have ablebodied people taking the money,
there’s not going to be anything
left for people who are truly disabled.”
The Democratic National
Committee seized on the comments, calling them offensive.
Alex Lawson, the executive
director of the advocacy group
Social Security Works, said the
U.S. has among the strictest
standards for assessing disability claims in the work and
accused Paul of trying to creating a “false crisis.”
“One in 5 men and nearly 1 in
6 women die within five years of
being approved for benefits,”
Lawson said in a statement.
“Sen. Paul should be ashamed of
himself for attacking Americans
living with disabilities, many of
whom are veterans.”
In an interview with The
Associated Press, Paul dismissed
the criticism.
“They’re arguing for fraud,” he
said. “I’m arguing for eliminating
fraud.”
Paul’s initial comments followed a question from a state
lawmaker about how states
could wrest control of government from Washington. The senator said states are better prepared to administer a number of
federal programs, including
Medicaid, and then turned to disability programs.
It wasn’t clear what disability
program Paul was referring to.
About 11 million people in the
U.S. receive disability benefits via
Social Security, including 9 million disabled workers and nearly
2 million children of disabled
workers. Monthly benefits for disabled workers average $1,146.
Paul’s trip to New Hampshire,
home of the first presidential primary, came as he continues to
take steps toward a White House
campaign. While he often takes
unscripted questions from his
audiences, Paul said the intense
scrutiny on his comments won’t
change how he interacts with
voters.
“I didn’t think what I said was
controversial, that we should
eliminate fraud from a disability
program,” he said. “Overall
that’s a judgment voters make.
Do they want someone who is
frank and genuine, or someone
who is guarded?”
Winfield, long-serving Marlboro
Man, dies in Wyoming at 85
RIVERTON, Wyo. (AP) —
One of the last of the Marlboro
Men has died in Wyoming.
Darrell Hugh Winfield was
85. He died Monday at his home
in Riverton, Davis Funeral Home
said.
The Marlboro Man was a
macho cowboy whose image in
advertising from the 1950s to the
late
1990s
made
filtered
cigarettes more appealing to
men. Previously Marlboros were
marketed to women.
Winfield’s rugged good looks
made him the face of Marlboro
cigarettes in magazine and television ads from the late 1960s to the
late 1980s.
The Leo Burnett ad agency discovered Winfield in 1968 while he
was working on the Quarter Circle 5 Ranch in western Wyoming.
Winfield was born on July 30,
1929, in Little Kansas, Okla., He
is survived by his wife, son, five
daughters and several grandchildren.
Bartender charged with threatening to kill Speaker Boehner
CINCINNATI (AP) — House
Speaker John Boehner returned
to the Capitol on Wednesday
without commenting to reporters
after disclosures that a bartender at a country club near his
Ohio home is charged with
threatening to kill him, either
with a gun or by poisoning his
drink.
A grand jury indictment filed
in U.S. District Court in Ohio on
Jan. 7 identified the accused
man as Cincinnati-area resident
Michael R. Hoyt, who has a history of psychiatric illness. He
was indicted on a charge of
threatening to murder Boehner,
according to court documents.
A spokesman for Boehner,
Michael Steel, has said the
speaker is aware of the situation
and grateful to authorities.
A separate criminal complaint
filed in November said Hoyt
came to authorities’ attention
when he called 911 on Oct. 29.
Hoyt told the operator: “This is
Mike. I messed up.” He then
asked the operator to call his
father and let him know he was
OK and was sorry he had made
mistakes.
When the operator asked for
his location and how to reach his
father, Hoyt provided his home
address in Deer Park, but said
his father is “everywhere.”

IN THIS Jan. 12, file photo, the Chevrolet Bolt EV electric concept vehicle is driven onto the stage at a presentation during the North American
International Auto Show, in Detroit. The Bolt concept, an electric car with a 200-mile range, could go on sale by 2017.
Innovation, optimism on
display at Detroit auto show
DETROIT (AP) — The mood is
exuberant at this year’s North
American International Auto
Show. Automakers are flush
with profits and the show gleams
with performance cars, beefy
trucks and exciting experiments,
from plug-in hybrids to cars
carved by a 3-D printer. Here are
some key takeaways from the
show, which opens to the public
Saturday.
OPTIMISM
The U.S. economy is rejuvenated. Interest rates are low and
auto financing is readily available. Carmakers have lots of new
offerings with cool features. And
gas prices are at a five-year low.
“I’m always looking for the
black swan, to be prepared. And
I’m looking at 2015 and saying, ‘I
can’t even find a baby black
swan,’” said Mike Jackson, CEO
of the AutoNation dealership
chain. “I have never seen better
conditions for the auto industry
and the U.S. market.”
Conditions are good for buyers
as well. U.S. sales could start to
plateau this year as they
approach the record of 17.3 million.
That
could
prompt
automakers to offer deals, particularly on small and midsize cars.
Even record recalls that
involved 60 million cars and
trucks in the U.S. last year seem
to have faded in consumers’
minds. General Motors, which
accounted for half the total, saw
U.S. sales climb 5 percent in
2014.
HALO CARS
The health of the car industry
can be measured by the number
of growling, preening performance cars on the show floor.
Ford revealed its 600-horsepower
GT while Acura showed off its
NSX hybrid supercar. Cadillac,
BMW, Mercedes, Lexus and
Porsche introduced new performance vehicles.
Automakers kept these cars
under wraps until the economy
improved and buyers had more
disposable income. The NSX, due
in showrooms this summer, is
expected
to
cost
around
$150,000.
“You didn’t see these kinds of
cars produced during the recession,” said Karl Brauer, a senior
analyst with Kelley Blue Book.
“They’re not about being conservative or subtle.”
Even with small sales, halo
cars cast a glow of technical and
design know-how over an entire
brand. Ford’s GT, for example, is
powered by one of the company’s
EcoBoost V6 engines, not a bigger V8. Ford hopes that shows
buyers that an EcoBoost engine
has enough power for their own
pickup or SUV.
GAS
Gasoline is averaging $2.10
per gallon, $1.20 below a year
ago. Cheaper gas gives con-
sumers more money to spend on
other things — like cars. And it
has helped fuel a truck and SUV
boom that benefits Detroit
automakers the most. According
to
the
car-shopping
site
Edmunds.com, SUVs and pickups outsold cars in 2014 for the
first time in a decade.
The Jeep brand, which sells
only SUVs, saw a 41 percent U.S.
sales jump last year.
“I think we all notice it’s a lot
less money to fill up your vehicle.
That helps with a better sentiment and outlook,” Jeep CEO
Mike Manley said.
It’s tougher to sell green vehicles. If efficiency doesn’t sell, the
auto industry could have trouble
meeting government gas mileage
requirements that reach a fleet
average of 54.5 miles per gallon
in 2025.
Several executives said the government may have to ease off on
the requirements. But the incoming head of the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration,
which administers the requirements, said that’s unlikely.
ALTERNATIVE FUELS
Despite the tough sales environment
for
green
cars,
automakers are pressing ahead.
Chevrolet surprised with the
Bolt concept, an electric car with
a 200-mile range that could go on
sale by 2017. It’s also showing an
updated Volt plug-in hybrid.
Hyundai introduced hybrid and
plug-in hybrid versions of the
Sonata sedan. Audi revealed a
diesel-fueled, plug-in hybrid version of its Q7 SUV. Honda has a
hydrogen fuel cell concept that’s
expected to go on sale in the U.S.
in 2016.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles
CEO Sergio Marchionne says
automakers have to assume that
stricter fuel economy standards
— both here and abroad — will
go into effect even if gas prices
stay low for a prolonged period.
INNOVATION
The recession damped experimentation,
but
it’s
back.
Hyundai’s Santa Cruz concept is
a five-seat crossover with a small
pickup bed in the back. If people
like it, Hyundai could put it on
the road in three years. Honda
demonstrated its Uni-Cub, a Segway-like vehicle that lets the
user
sit
down.
China’s
Guangzhou Automobile Group is
showing the WitStar, a hybrid,
semi-autonomous SUV with a
bubbling fish tank in the rear
armrest. Phoenix-based Local
Motors has a big 3-D printer on
the show floor that’s cutting out
the Strati, a two-seater with a
body made from carbon fiberinfused plastic.
It’s not the stuff of fantasy,
said Jim O’Sullivan, Mazda’s
North American CEO.
“There’s a lot more substance
out there,” he said. “A lot of stuff
years ago was very cosmetic.”
New Jersey’s Christie courts potential
White House supporters in South Carolina
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A
day after delivering a State of the
State address widely seen as an
informal kick-off to a potential
campaign for president, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie traveled
to South Carolina on Wednesday
to court potential donors in the
early-voting state.
His message? Stay tuned.
Christie spent the morning at
the swearing-in of incumbent
Gov. Nikki Haley, part of an
ongoing cross-country victory
tour of GOP governors taking
office, capping off his role as
chairman of the Republican Governors Association. Christie was
the only potential 2016 candidate
in attendance at the chilly ceremony on the statehouse steps
and a private luncheon at the
governor’s mansion.
Later, Christie headlined a
meet-and-greet event, spending
two hours mingling with a crowd
that included pastors of evangelical
churches,
legislators,
fundraisers and business leaders.
“I think it’s pretty clear that
Gov. Christie has plans over the
next year to-year-and-a-half.
That was the sense among everyone in the room,” said Matt
Moore, the chairman of the
South Carolina Republican
Party. “He said
he’s got eight
more days of
his official RGA
activities, but
stay tuned.”
Christie’s
team is in the
early stages of
putting together a political
Gov. Chris
action commitChristie
tee to begin
raising
and
spending money, according to
several Republican donors who
are being aggressively courted.
The PAC is expected to be
announced as early as the end of
the month
Phil Cox, the former executive
director of the Republican Governors Association who grew close
with Christie and his team during the governor’s tenure as chair
of the organization, is helping lay
the groundwork for a campaignin-waiting at the political action
committee, several donors said.
All spoke on condition of
anonymity because they were not
authorized to discuss Christie’s
internal moves by name.
The political committee will
raise cash to cover Christie’s trips
to early nominating states in
Iowa, New Hampshire and South
Carolina, as well as be home to
the data Christie’s team will start
collecting about potential supporters. Should Christie enter the
presidential race as expected, the
committee could easily be transformed into a campaign.
Cox’s involvement suggests a
serious campaign is coming
together. He is one of the most
sought-after operatives after his
stint at the RGA and the victories the committee logged on
behalf of GOP governors.
Christie and his aides maintain his timeline hasn’t been
affected by moves from former
Florida Gov. Jeb Bush or 2012
GOP nominee Mitt Romney.
Christie suggested that he would
move forward not long after Jan.
21, when he travels to Maryland
to celebrate Gov.-elect Larry
Hogan’s inauguration, several
people attending the South Carolina event said.
Leighton Lord, a lawyer from
South Carolina who went to college with Christie and co-hosted
the event at his law firm, said
that Christie’s remarks to the
group of more than 75 people
focused on his governing philosophy. He said Christie steered
clear of social issues, and instead
stressed the need for candidates
to provide a vision for the future
if they want to get elected.
Christie, Lord said, spoke of
the need to be inclusive and to
work with people, even if they
disagree, driving home the message that “you’ve just got to talk
to people” to get things done.
In loving memory of
DONALD SAMARZIYA
who passed away 2 years ago
on January 13, 2013
The moment you left me,
my heart was split in two;
One side was filled with
memories, the other side
died with you.
I often lay awake at night,
when the world is fast asleep;
And take a walk down
memory lane,
with tears upon my cheek.
Remembering you is easy,
I do it every day;
But missing you is a heartache,
that never goes away.
I hold you tightly within my
heart, and there you will remain;
You see life has gone on
without you, but will never be
the same.
Sadly missed by wife Sharon,

Detained Washington Post
journalist indicted in Iran
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — A
Washington Post journalist
detained in Iran for months has
been indicted and will stand
trial, Iran’s state news agency
reported Wednesday, without
elaborating on what charges he
faced.
The report by the official
IRNA news agency came the
same day as U.S. Secretary of
State John Kerry met with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed
Javad Zarif before talks with
world powers resume over the
Islamic Republic’s contested
nuclear program.
It wasn’t immediately clear if
the two events were connected,
though Zarif earlier said he
hoped the case against reporter
Jason
Rezaian
could
be
“resolved.”
“We will have to wait for the
judiciary to move forward, but
we will try to provide all the
humanitarian assistance that we
could,” Zarif told journalists in
Geneva. “We hope that this issue
could be resolved but unfortunately there are judicial issues
involved which the judiciary has
to deal with.”
IRNA quoted Tehran prosecutor Abbas Jafari Dowlatabadi
saying Rezaian,
the
newspaper’s
bureau
chief in Tehran
since 2012, had
been indicted.
He was previously charged
last month, but
the
bill
of
i
n
d
i
c
t
m
e
n
t
Jason
clears the way
Rezaian
for his trial.
The
IRNA
report did not disclose what
charges Rezaian, an IranianAmerican who holds dual citizenship, faces, nor when his trial
would begin. However, the report
says he will stand trial in Iran’s
Revolutionary Court, which
mostly hears cases involving
security offenses.
The newspaper and Rezaian’s
mother have repeatedly called
for his release.
“We still do not know what
charges the Iranian authorities
have brought against our correspondent Jason Rezaian, but we
hope the referral of his case to a
Revolutionary Court represents
a step forward toward Jason’s
prompt release,” said a statement from Martin Baron, execu-
tive editor of The Washington
Post. “This step gives Iran’s judiciary an opportunity to demonstrate its fairness and independence by determining that the
charges are baseless. We call on
Iran to make these charges public, to allow Jason access to a
lawyer and to bring a swift and
just resolution of a six-monthlong nightmare that has been
extremely difficult for Jason and
his family.”
IRNA quoted the prosecutor
as saying Rezaian’s mother met
twice with him on her recent
visit to Iran.
Rezaian, his wife, Yeganeh
Salehi, and two photojournalists
initially were detained July 22 in
Iran’s capital, Tehran. All later
were released except Rezaian.
The U.S. State Department
repeatedly has raised the subject
of Rezaian and other Americans
jailed in Iran during talks with
the government about a deal to
curb Iran’s nuclear capacity and
ease international sanctions.
State
Department
spokeswoman Marie Harf said
Wednesday that the U.S. was
aware of the Iranian press
reports and was seeking further
information.
Austria ponders taking over Hitler’s childhood home
VIENNA, Austria (AP) — The
Austrian government is looking
at options that would allow it to
take possession of the house
where Adolf Hitler spent his
early childhood as it seeks to end
a dispute with the owner over its
use, officials said Wednesday.
The move is the latest in
efforts by the government to
ensure that the house is not
turned to a use that makes it
even more of a shrine for Hitler’s
admirers. Municipal officials in
Braunau, where the house
stands, already complain that it
draws neo-Nazi visitors to the
town on the border with Germany.
Reacting to reports in local
media,
Interior
Ministry
spokesman Karl-Heinz Grundboeck said his ministry expects
expert opinions by the end of the
month on expropriation — taking the property for public use —
if the owner turns down a government offer to buy it. Authorities refuse to identify the owner.
The Interior Ministry has
rented the house for years to prevent its misuse, subletting it to
various charitable organizations.
The building has stood empty
since a workshop for the mentally disabled moved out more than
three years ago.
Local officials say the woman
vetoed plans to move in a new
charity and a school late last
year because she was opposed to
renovations that would be
required.
“We’ve tried very hard to find
a solution,” alderman Harry
Buchmayer told Wednesday’s
Kurier newspaper. “But she does
not seem ready to cooperate.”
Grundboeck described expropriation as the “last option,” saying the government hoped the
owner would agree to sell. She
reportedly has turned down past
offers.
Among prospective buyers
over the past few years was a
Russian parliamentarian who
threatened to raze it — a plan
doomed to fail as the Renaissance-era building is under historical protection.

PEOPLE QUEUE up to buy the new issue of Charlie Hebdo newspaper at a newsstand in Paris Wednesday.
Charlie Hebdo’s defiant new issue sold out before dawn around Paris on Wednesday, with scuffles at kiosks
over dwindling copies of the paper fronting the Prophet Muhammad. In the city still shaken by the deaths of
17 people at the hands of Islamic extremists, a controversial comic who appeared to be praising the men was
taken into custody.
New issue of Charlie
Hebdo sells out quickly
PARIS (AP) — Parisians
lined up Wednesday to empty
the newsstands of the first issue
of Charlie Hebdo, a week after
Islamic extremists attacked the
satirical newspaper’s office, and
French justice officials began
cracking down by arresting
dozens of people who glorified
terrorism or made racist or antiSemitic remarks.
The editors of the publication
again put a caricature of the
Prophet Muhammad on the
cover, and it quickly sold out by
early morning around the capital and elsewhere, with long
lines and scuffles at kiosks. Disappointed buyers were told to
come back Thursday when more
of the increased print run of 5
million copies will be available.
A leader of Yemen’s al-Qaida
branch officially claimed responsibility for the attacks by two
gunmen that left 12 dead at the
weekly publication, saying in a
video posted online that the
slayings came in “vengeance for
the prophet.” The newspaper
had received repeated threats
for lampooning Muhammad.
A third attacker killed five
other people, bringing the total
number of dead in the Jan. 7-9
spasm of violence to 17 before
all the gunmen died in police
raids.
On alert for new attacks,
France deployed thousands of
police and soldiers around the
country, and they moved to
quash any racist remarks or
praise for terrorists.
The scale of security measures is raising questions in
some quarters about whether
some freedoms will be impinged
upon.
At least 54 people were
arrested for hate speech or other
acts insulting religious faiths, or
for cheering the men who carried out the attacks
The new issue of Charlie
Hebdo features the prophet, a
tear rolling down his cheek,
holding a placard that says “Je
Suis Charlie.” The saying has
swept France and the world,
with the irreverent newspaper
being embraced as a symbol of
freedom of speech.
Prime Minister Manuel Valls
held up his copy after the weekly Cabinet meeting — but
strategically placed his hand
over the prophet’s face.
Muslims believe their faith
forbids depictions of the
prophet, and some reacted with
dismay — and occasional anger
— to the new cover. Some who
had supported Charlie Hebdo
after the attacks felt betrayed
and others feared the cartoon
would trigger yet more violence.
Defending his caricature of
the prophet on the latest cover,
cartoonist Renald Luzier argued
that there should be no exceptions to freedom of expression.
He said when the weekly was
threatened before, the reaction
was often: “Yes, but you shouldn’t do that (publish cartoons of
Muhammad). Yes, but you
deserved that.”
“There should be no more
‘Yes, but,” he insisted.

Ofstad’s 3 sinks Finlandia
By JASON JUNO
IRONWOOD — Gogebic vs. Finlandia. Sam Ofstad vs.
Marissa Burke. Neither matchup could have been more
even.
Gogebic Community College’s Sam Ofstad nailed a 3pointer on top with two seconds left to give the Lady
Samsons a 69-66 victory over Finlandia Wednesday
night.
The triple gave Ofstad a game-high 30 points, three
more than the 27 scored by Burke of Watersmeet.
“I didn’t know how many seconds were left, so when I
got the ball, I shot it right away,” Ofstad said. “Luckily
it went in. This was a very good win for us. It was a very
good team we played against and it’s going to help us get
better.”
Finlandia never led until midway through the second
half. Seven more lead changes — and a thrilling finish
— followed.
Gogebic’s Darian Vinkemeier made two free throws to
tie the game 66-66 with 42 seconds left.
Finlandia’s Brierra Ruska-Pasanen missed a triple
try and GCC called timeout with 24.5 seconds left.
The Lady Lions defended Gogebic’s planned play well,
but the Lady Samsons improvised just fine as Ofstad’s
shot fell and time expired.
“It wasn’t the original play, but with the night that
she had and the season that she’s had, I guess when all
else fails, plan B is just get it in her hands,” Gogebic
coach Mark Movrich said. “I’d say 80 percent of the time
she’s going to make something good happen.”
Plan A involved Ofstad also.
“It was to come off of a screen-and-roll with her and if
they didn’t hedge it hard, we were going to try to get it
to Brittni (Kisul) on the roll,” Movrich said. “But they
defended it well. Luckily our girls kept their composure
and we made a play.”
Finlandia coach Terry Klemett, who played for the
Samsons in the mid-90s, was happy with his team’s
defense on the initial play.
“She just made a hell of a shot,” he said. “She’s a good
player. There’s nothing you can really do about it. She
had a great game. She was feeling it. I just think there
were plays before that play that allowed that possession
to happen. That’s what we didn’t capitalize on. Sam single-handily won that game.”
Vinkemeier’s free throws may be forgotten in the
excitement of Ofstad’s game-winner, but the Lady Samsons would have faced a much tougher scenario had she
missed even one.
“Those are huge free throws because if she misses just
one of them, now we’re in a situation where we probably
have to foul,” Movrich said. “How does that play out?
They make free throws and now we’re down three? It’s
like you’re extending the game, but are you ever catching up?”
And Ofstad’s 3 is probably coming a lot sooner than
with two seconds left.
“Now we’re probably forcing a 3,” Movrich said.
“There’s nothing wrong with it going to overtime. We
weren’t losing it in regulation. We were I think a little
more relaxed, even before the shot took place, nobody
panicked with the ball. Where if we’re down three, somebody’s probably panicking with the ball or forcing a
shot.”
Just like the plan wasn’t for Ofstad to shoot a 3 at the
end, the play Vinekmeier was fouled on wasn’t drawn up
for her.
“There actually was supposed to be a down screen for
Sam,” Movrich said. “Sarah (Trudgeon), I don’t know
just caught up in the moment and swung it. Darian took
it upon herself to get by her girl, which she did. She got
to the foul line and sank both of them.”
Klemett said the Lady Lions defended that possession
very well before the foul was called with five seconds on
the shot clock.
“That was the game changer,” he said.
The Lady Samsons are in the midst of a great season

Samsons fall to Finlandia on shot with 2.6 seconds left
By JASON JUNO
[email protected]
IRONWOOD — Gogebic’s shot
to tie bounced around multiple
times before falling. Finlandia’s
shot to win was far more improbable.
Finlandia’s Tyler Koski got to
the basket and made the gamewinner with 2.6 seconds left to
give the Lions an 81-79 victory
Wednesday in a fantastic game
between U.P. college teams.
“Tough to lose that way, but at
the same time, good effort by the
guys,” Gogebic Community College coach Dennis Mackey said.
“They never quit.”
There were often three All-U.P.
Dream Team players on the floor
together —GCC’s Adam Mackey
(Ironwood) and Finlandia’s Brandon Robinette (Escanaba) and Jordan LaPlant (Ewen-Trout Creek).
Mackey led all scorers with 26
points, Robinette had 18 and
LaPlant, an All-Region selection
at GCC the past two years, scored
14.
Mackey made some big plays
down the stretch but none bigger
than his 3 that tied the game at
79-79 with about 10 seconds left.
It bounced around seemingly
forever before falling through the
hoop and bringing the good-sized
crowd at the Lindquist Center
alive.
“It got the shooter’s roll I
guess,” coach Mackey said. “It has
a lot to do with the situation,
where he’s shooting from. It was
front iron, off the glass, and bouncing and bouncing and bouncing
and it fell in. It was big for us.”
Finlandia crossed halfcourt
and called timeout with 7.5 seconds left, setting up Koski’s gamewinner. Gogebic called timeout,
but Miller’s desperation 3 was
wide left.
Finlandia coach Mike O’Donnell said the Lions just wanted to
get something going to the basket.
“We knew we were in the double bonus, so maybe get a foul,” he
said. “Tyler just made a great play
to get the shot on the rim and it
rolled in for him.”
It went in. Somehow.
“I’m not sure how the ball went
in. Koski made a good play,” coach
Mackey said. “I think he was
under the basket. He hit the bottom of the basket and it spun
around; it must have had some
spin on it. I was shocked it went
in.
“It’s one of those things, guy
made a great play, give him credit. He spun it up there, got the
rotation on the ball and spun it in
the basket. One of those things,
we couldn’t let him get that deep.
That was our Achilles’ in the second half.”
The Samsons 39-35 led at halftime before Finlandia took over,
building the lead as big as 67-56
with under seven minutes left.
“I thought we started moving
the ball better and getting higher
quality shots,” O’Donnell said. “I
thought we settled sometimes
early. Once we started attacking
the basket, we were able to draw
some fouls, get to the free throw
line and things just seemed to
open up for us more when we
started attacking the basket.”
Finlandia shot 17 of 24 from
the free throw line, including 13 of
17 in the second half. GCC only
got to the line five times, making
one.
The Samsons had a surge of
their own, almost completing the
comeback.
After trailing 71-63 with 4:34
left, Gogebic pulled within 77-76
on a Michael Harris fadeaway
with 48.6 seconds left.
Gogebic’s Collin Miller picked
up a steal as Finlandia went
downcourt, but Bryant Rowe’s 3
rimmed out. Koski made a pair of
free throws to put Finlandia up
79-76 with 22.3 seconds left.
That’s when Mackey followed
with the tying triple before Koski
made the game-winner.
“Finlandia plays a four-year
schedule,” coach Mackey said.
“Maybe their record isn’t what

l
they’d like it to be, but they’re
playing four-year schools every
night and they’re seasoned in
these types of games. Hopefully
we can learn from this and learn
to finish the game and make one
more play. Although I can’t be disappointed the way we came back
at the end, stayed with it, lost our
point guard and came in with a
makeshift lineup. I thought Harris, Adam and Collin all did a
great job, they took turns handling the ball down the stretch.
They all made plays.”
LaDell Hickman scored 16
points for Gogebic before fouling
out with more than four minutes
left. Miller had 15 and Harris
scored 11.
With all the Dream Teamers on
the court, Mackey shined. He was
4 of 4 from behind the arc in the
first half and got on a roll again
down the stretch.
“He’s a competitor and he’s
going to give it his all. He was
fired up to play tonight. He was

AUBURN HILLS (AP) — The
New Orleans Pelicans brought the
hot Detroit Pistons back to earth.
The Pistons came in having
won of nine of 10, but were never
competitive with New Orleans.
Anthony Davis had 27 points and
10 rebounds as the Pelicans beat
the Pistons 105-94 on Wednesday
night.
“That was a bad performance,
and we have to make sure it stops
tonight,” said Pistons coach Stan
Van Gundy. “We didn’t do anything. We didn’t rebound and we
didn’t protect the paint, which
were two big areas of emphasis.
We brought absolutely no energy
whatsoever to the game.”
The Pelicans (19-19) were missing Jrue Holliday (ankle), but easily picked up their second win in
five games. Tyreke Evans added
18 points, nine assists and eight
rebounds for the Pelicans, while
Ryan Anderson came off the bench
to score 17.
Brandon Jennings had 19 for
the Pistons (14-25), while Greg
Monroe had 16 points and eight
rebounds and was the only other
starter to reach double figures.
The Pistons only managed
three offensive rebounds in the
game, usually a strength.
“That was unacceptable,” said
Monroe, who led the team in both
rebounds and assists (five). “We
just gave them an easy win. We
have to be a lot better than that.”
The Pelicans dominated the
first half, with the exception of
Detroit’s 6-0 run to end the first
quarter. New Orleans led 58-36 at
the intermission, helped in great
part by a 36-point second period
that saw them outrebound Detroit
14-2.
“We played the right way,” said
New Orleans coach Monty
Williams. “That’s the only way I
can sum it up. We shared the ball;
we defended the ball; we played in
transition.”
The Pistons only managed 10
rebounds in the first half to 24 for
New Orleans, and had just one
second-chance opportunity despite
missing 13 of their 15 jumpers in
the opening two quarters. Andre
Drummond struggled for Detroit,
scoring only two points in 17 minutes and saw his team outscored
by 21 points while he was on the
floor.
He didn’t get better in the second half, and spent most of it on
the bench.
“This is four games in a row
where he hasn’t had any energy,”
Van Gundy said. “Tonight, he didn’t even rebound. That’s why I didn’t bring him back in the second
half. He wasn’t bringing us anything tonight.”
New Orleans stayed in control
in the third quarter, and even
when the Pelicans made mistakes,
the Pistons couldn’t capitalize.
After one turnover, Kyle Singler
led a Detroit fast break, only to
pass the ball directly to New
Orleans forward Dante Cunningham. Singler didn’t hustle back on
defense, leading to an open 3pointer for the Pelicans. A furious
Van Gundy yanked him from the
game.

Rodgers limited in practice
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — While he appreciates
suggestions from Packers fans of remedies for his
sore left calf, Aaron Rodgers is not necessarily
going to listen to the advice.
Whatever Rodgers is doing appears to be working.
The quarterback took limited snaps on Wednesday, the first day of practice for Green Bay ahead of
Sunday’s NFC title game against the Seattle Seahawks.
It is an improvement from last week, when
Rodgers missed the first day of practice preparing
for the Dallas Cowboys.
“I mean, he’s doing everything he can. I do know
that,” coach Mike McCarthy said. “We did a little
bit more today than we did this time last week. I
don’t really know if that’s an indicator. We’re dealing with it.”
Rodgers is sticking to the team’s prescribed
rehab plan, along with an occasional dose of
acupuncture, and that’s it.
“I know people have the best intentions when
they’re sending stuff in,” Rodgers said. “You know
they want me to get back on the field. This time of
the year when there’s an injury, there (are) a lot of
experts out there.”
Rodgers doesn’t have the full mobility that
allows him to extend plays outside the pocket, one
of his trademark strengths.
The right arm is just fine though. The 13-yard
touchdown pass thrown like a fastball to Richard
Rodgers in last week’s 26-21 win over Dallas is
proof.
“I don’t think so,” Rodgers said when asked if he
had to overcompensate with accuracy to make up
for his limited mobility.
Heisman winner
Marcus Mariota
says he’s going to
the NFL
Heisman Trophy winner
Marcus Mariota, whose bold
moves and leadership on the
field brought the Ducks to the
brink of a national championship before falling short, is
leaving Oregon early for the
NFL.
Mariota announced his
long-awaited decision to forgo
his senior season on Oregon’s
website. The team said he
filed paperwork on Wednesday, a day before the NFL
deadline.
“I will miss being with my
teammates,” he said in a
statement. “Being a part of
this team was something special that I will always treasure.”
Mariota has been the humble leader of Oregon’s highflying offense for three seasons. This season, the Ducks
(13-2) defeated Florida State
at the Rose Bowl in college
football’s first playoffs, but
fell 42-20 to Ohio State in
Monday
night’s
national
championship game.
The 6-foot-4 dual threat
from Hawaii won every major
award he qualified for, starting with the Heisman, as well
as AP Player of the Year, the
Maxwell and Walter Camp
awards and Pac-12 Offensive
Player of the Year. He set a
conference record for most
touchdowns in a single season
with 58; 42 via pass, 15 on
the run and a touchdown
catch.
His passing touchdowns
set a Pac-12 single-season
record. He also set the conference’s career mark for career
touchdowns with 136.
He threw at least one
touchdown pass in all 41 college games he played in at
Oregon, starting in every one
of his appearances. And he’s
one of just four quarterbacks
in FBS history to pass for
more than 10,000 yards and
run for more than 2,000 in his
career.
“It’s been an honor to
watch Marcus develop over
the last four years, and I’m
excited to see what his future
holds,” Oregon coach Mark
Helfrich said in a statement.
“He’s given this program
everything we could have
asked, and he’ll be the standard by which others are
judged. Mahalo.”

with their record improving to 17-4. But games
competitive for all 40 minutes have been tough to
come by. It was also a big game for the local girls
who have played against Finlandia’s local girls.
This is probably GCC’s signature win.
“We needed a game like this,” Movrich said.
“We’ve had a lot of close games against close
teams; we’ve had a bunch of moral victories
against tough teams. We needed an actual victory
against a good team.”
Ofstad was simply amazing.
“I tell you what, I just can’t say enough good
things about Sam Ofstad, the complete game she
had tonight,” Movrich said.
Burke, a preseason All-American, was pretty
good also. Burke also was a Dream Team player as
a senior in 2011 at Watersmeet.
“I think she’s become a much more complete
player with pretty much unlimited range. She hit
some deep, deep 3s,” Movrich said. “But what I
really, really saw from her tonight was the way
she was coaching her teammates on the floor. It
was like having another coach on the floor. It was
all positive things and what they should be doing.”
Gogebic started fast, scoring the first nine
points. But things stalled after that. Already
shorthanded, Brittni Kisul and Ale Kohegyi picked
up their third fouls, depleting them of inside players. But a couple of others were versatile enough
to defend inside.
“Finlandia mostly had perimeter players on the
floor, too, so we were able to get away with it,”
Movrich said. “Where we really missed it was Brittni’s presence inside.”
Finlandia (7-10) then wore Gogebic down in the
second half to nearly take the win.
“For our girls to stay in the game and battle
back after being up the whole game, I couldn’t be
prouder of them right now,” Movrich said.
“We came out flat for the first 12 minutes of the
game,” Klemett said. “I told them before we came
in, ‘You can’t go into a game and have that kind of
flatness for that long. We’re a good team. We
bounced back because we have a longer bench.”

Dear Annie: My boyfriend

we’ve been living together.
At first, my boyfriend was loving and sweet and promised all

But after several months, he
changed. He became distant,
sometimes even cruel in his
actions. I begged him to tell me if
there was another woman, but
he always denied it, in spite of

just seemed off.

THE GRIZZWELLS
THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 2015 l 11
Don’t hold back; demonstrate all of
your dazzling traits. Your wit, wisdom
and charisma will have others competing for your attention. You will discover
that your actions and words can create
interest and influence people in positive ways. Strive for perfection, precision and popularity.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) —
Community services or events will provide great opportunities for leadership
and charitable acts. Your involvement
will benefit your neighborhood, give
you a sense of pride and lead to new
friendships.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) —
Practice patience and do your best to
avoid impulsive moves or hasty
actions if you want to avoid error or
injury. Take your time and do things
right the first time.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) —
Your energy will wane. To remain motivated, plan a small reward or incentive
to get your juices flowing so you feel
able to take care of your responsibilities.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You
will shine at social activities. Schedule
an event or gathering that will allow
you to display your attributes and
stand out in the crowd. Lady Luck is
on your side today.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) —
Lasting memories will be made if you
take a short trip with family or friends.
This is a good time to look into investment opportunities and increase your
assets.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Your
home provides the backdrop for your
daily life. Avoid frustration by keeping
on top of small repairs and necessary
improvements. You will perk up if you
feel comfortable in your surroundings.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) — An
unforeseen opportunity to use your
teaching skills will impress those
around you. Your talent for sharing
your ideas and insightful problemsolving tactics will be admired and
rewarded.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — An illconsidered idea will leave you in a
quandary. Get all the facts before you
make an irreversible decision. Time is
on your side, so do the appropriate
research.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) —
Holding a grudge will cause unhappiness and lead to unhappy events.
Someone may disappoint you, but that
doesn’t mean you have to treat them
poorly. Let bygones be bygones and
move on.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) —
Springing your ideas on unsuspecting
family members will invite discord. You
can eliminate problems by letting
everyone know your intentions in
advance and by asking for support
and approval.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) —
Stay in touch with elderly or distant relatives and friends. Time tends to fly by,
making it easy to neglect someone or
something that needs your attention.
Be thoughtful and avoid regret.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)
— A mental or physical challenge will
energize you. Plan an activity that
includes stimulating conversation and
recreation with friends. The more you
do, the better you will feel.
HERMAN
Annie’s
Mailbox
when I’m convinced he had a
fling with a certain woman, and I
can’t get over it. He still denies
it, and I am confused and hurt.
But when I ask, he will respond
by withdrawing from me for
months.
I believe he did have an affair
and never got over her and that’s
why we have so little intimacy
now. I have been praying and am
seeing a counselor, but I can’t
seem to let it go completely. Is
there something wrong with me?
Or is my intuition telling me that
he deceived me and is continuing
to lie about it? All my friends say
either to let it go or to end it, but
I don’t want to leave him, and I
have no control over my thoughts
and feelings. Please help. —
Louise in Louisville
Dear Louise: Actually, you
do have some control over those
thoughts and feelings, but it
takes effort and willingness.
Your intuition is telling you that
your boyfriend is not being completely honest, and you have
become fixated on knowing something that he probably will never
tell you. And it could be that
there is nothing to tell. Because
you wish to stay with him, please
talk to your counselor about how
to forgive him, and then do the
necessary work to get there.
Dear Annie: I would like to
write a note to all smokers: News
flash. You smell like a dirty ashtray. Always. You try to be nice
and go outside to have your
cigarette, but when you come
back in, you still smell like an
ashtray. You smoke in your car
so you can have your cigarette
before you arrive at your destination, but when you walk into the
room, you still smell. Your
clothes reek of smoke — always.
No amount of perfume covers it
up.
Just thought you’d like to
know. I know I’m tired of
smelling you. — A Nonsmoker
Dear Nonsmoker: Although
what you say is true, it is not so
simple.
Most smokers are well aware
of the lingering odor, not to mention the yellowing teeth and
nails, frequent cough, and looming lung cancer. The downside
has been well-documented and publicized. But smoking is highly
addictive.
For some, giving it up is nearly impossible, no matter how
much effort they put into trying.
Though smoking in the car or
outside the office is not ideal, it is
better than nothing.
Dear Annie: I’d like to offer a
more positive response to all
those mothers who complain
about their daughters-in-law.
My son is married to a wonderful woman. She is a great
mother to their two children and
stepmother to his daughter. I
love this woman with all of my
heart.
I am always welcome in their
home as they are in mine. I can
have the grandchildren whenever I want.
When their daughter was
born, my daughter-in-law gave
me the most wonderful gift: She
allowed me to be in the delivery
room for the birth. What a precious woman my son married.
I called her “daughter,”
because to me, that is what she
is. My own mother-in-law was
not very kind to me, and I vowed
I would be different. Sometimes
it takes a little work, and sometimes your son marries an angel.
— Mother-in-Law of an Angel

Ralph Richardson, one of the best
thespians ever, said, “Actors are the
jockeys of literature. Others supply
the horses, the plays, and we simply
make them run.”
When a cast takes its bow, I always
think that the playwright ought to be
there, too. But if the actors are bad,
the play will not work.
However, the key word in
Richardson’s observation for today’s
deal is “others.” Bridge is full of
“normal” plays, which work most of
the time. But when an “other” play
is needed, that sorts out the experts
from the less capable.
This deal occurred in a private
game. North-South were using the
weak no-trump, in which an opening
bid of one no-trump shows 12-14
points. So South’s rebid indicated a
strong no-trump, 15-17 points. This
had an effect on the opening lead of
West, who preferred the spade four,
an unbid suit, to a heart, dummy’s
bid suit. (Note that if South had
opened one strong no-trump, North
would have used Stayman, South
would have denied a four-card major
and North would have jumped to
three no-trump. Then West surely
would have led a heart.)
East took the first trick with his
spade king and stuck to the standard
script when he returned his second
spade. But South won in his hand,
played a diamond to dummy’s king,
returned to his hand with a spade
and played three more rounds of
diamonds. He had nine tricks: three
spades, one heart, four diamonds
and one club.
Could East have found the fatal
heart shift at trick two? It was tough.

Ask Doctor K
ASTHMA ACTION PLAN WILL HELP
DURING AN EMERGENCY
DEAR DOCTOR K: My son was recently
diagnosed with asthma. His doctor wants
to put together an asthma "action plan."
What is that?
DEAR READER: Asthma is a complicated and serious disease. It can behave
differently from hour to hour and from day
to day. A person with asthma needs a
plan for what to do at each stage of the
disease. I'll describe the elements of the
plan in a minute, but first a little background on asthma itself.
Asthma assaults the lung's airways. The
airways are the tubes through which the
air you breathe enters and leaves your
lungs. During an asthma attack, the airways get narrower as the muscles surrounding them constrict. The airways also
become inflamed, and mucus fills the
narrowed passageways. As a result, the
flow of air is partially or completely
blocked.
A mild asthma attack may cause wheezing, difficulty breathing or a persistent
cough. Symptoms of a more severe attack can include extreme shortness of
breath, chest tightness, flared nostrils
and pursed lips.
Two types of medications are used to
treat asthma: controllers and relievers.
Controllers -- usually inhaled corticosteroids -- are medicines taken regularly
By Anthony L. Komaroff, M.D.
to reduce the likelihood of asthma attacks. They reduce inflammation, which
decreases mucus production and reduces tightening of airway muscles.
Relievers, or "rescue" medications, are
used just during asthma attacks. They
stop or reduce the severity of the attack
by relaxing the muscles around the airways to improve airflow. Bronchodilators
are often used as rescue medications.
(I've put an illustration showing how medications treat asthma on my website,
AskDoctorK.com.)
Everyone with asthma should have an
asthma action plan. This is a written plan
that details what you need to do to control
your asthma. It also explains what to do
when you experience asthma symptoms
or in case of an emergency. You may feel
that you already know this information,
but when you or a loved one is struggling
to breathe, it helps to have a set of written
instructions to refer to.
Asthma action plans are often divided
into "zones." You should be able to tell
what zone your son is in from his symptoms. The action plan will tell you what
you need to do in each zone. For example:
Take prescribed long-term controller
medicine.
-- YELLOW ZONE: Getting worse.
Coughing, wheezing, chest tightness or
shortness of breath; waking at night; can
do some, but not all, usual activities. Add
quick-relief medicine.
-- RED ZONE: Medical alert! Very short
of breath; quick-relief medicines don't
help; cannot do usual activities; symptoms no better after 24 hours in yellow
zone. Get medical help now.
People live with asthma for many years
and come to know a lot about it. So a
written asthma action plan may seem unnecessary. But in my experience, people
who suddenly get sick sometimes forget
to take the steps they know they should.
A written asthma action plan can be a
valuable reminder at a moment of trouble.

Dismal report on US retail spending hits the stock market
NEW YORK (AP) — A dismal
report on retail spending in the
U.S. and signs of slowing global
growth drove stocks lower and
sent yields on government bonds
plunging as investors sought
safety.
U.S. stocks fell from the start
of trading on a report that consumers pulled back on spending
last month and on a slump in
European markets. At one point,
the Dow Jones industrial average shed nearly 350 points.
Investors dumped some key
commodities on fears global
growth is stalling, pushing the
price of copper to a five-year low,
and they piled into German,
British and U.S. government
bonds. The yield on the 30-year
U.S. Treasury fell to its lowest on
record.
“We haven’t seen volatility
like this for years,” said John
Canally, investment strategist
for LPL Financial. “People are
more worried.”
The Commerce Department
reported that retail sales fell 0.9
percent in December, the
biggest decline since January
last year. The drop was a surprise to many investors because
it showed consumers are still
reluctant to spend despite lower
gas prices and a pickup in hiring.
“There was a perception that
the economy was improving, but
that has gotten called into question,” said Peter Tuz, a portfolio
manager at Chase Investment
Counsel, which manages $400
million in assets. “The savings
from lower gas prices hasn’t
translated into higher consumer
spending yet.”
A report from the World Bank
late Tuesday also weighed on markets. The bank lowered its forecast for global growth this year to
3 percent from 3.4 percent. It
blamed sluggish economies in
Europe and Japan and a slowdown in China.
The price of copper, a metal
used in construction and manufacturing, fell 14 cents, or 5.2
percent, to close at $2.51 a pound
following the World Bank’s
downgrade.
Investors buying up 10-year
Treasury notes sent its yield, a
benchmark for home loans and
corporate borrowing, to 1.85 percent, its lowest since May 2013.
The yield on the 30-year bond
dropped below 2.4 percent for the
first time.
The Standard & Poor’s 500
index fell 11.76 points, 0.6 percent, to 2,011.27 The S&P 500 is
heading for its third straight
week of losses.
The Nasdaq composite fell
22.18 points, or 0.5 percent, to
4,639.32 And the Dow Jones
industrial average dropped
186.59 points, or 1.1 percent, to
17,427.09.
Stocks are swinging more this
year as investors become anxious. The Dow index was down as
much as 348.78 points in the
early afternoon, before gaining
back much of its losses. On Tuesday, the difference between the
Dow’s high and low was more
than 400 points.
Investors will turn their
attention next to more corporate
earnings reports. A handful of
big companies are expected to
report Thursday, including giant
money manager BlackRock,
energy company Schlumberger
and Intel Corp., the world’s
largest chip maker.
Overall, companies in the
S&P 500 are expected to report a
modest 4.5 percent increase in
Paul MlasekAgoent
Independent
fourth-quarter earnings per
share compared with a year ago,
according to S&P Capital IQ.
Among stocks making big
moves:
— The drop in commodities
pushed mining giant FreeportMcMoRan down $2.30, or 11 percent, to $18.74.
— JPMorgan Chase fell $2.03,
or 3.5 percent, to $56.81 after
reporting a 7 percent drop in
fourth-quarter earnings. The
bank was hit by more legal costs
and a decline in trading revenue.
— GameStop jumped nearly
11 percent, the biggest gain in
the S&P 500, after its CEO
reported strong sales in gaming
software sales during the holiday
shopping season. The stock rose
$3.44 to $36.21.
The price of oil surged,
despite a large increase in U.S.
oil stockpiles, on a weaker dollar
and traders’ expectations that oil
had fallen too far recently.
Benchmark U.S. crude rose
$2.59 to close at $48.48 a barrel
in New York. Brent crude, a
benchmark for international oils
used by many U.S. refineries,
rose $2.10 to close at $48.69 in
London.
