Work orders have been submitted to Emmet County’s contracted engineering firm AECOM for $41,420 for conceptual designs for a multi-use building that would house a museum, community center and planetarium. AECOM will be responsible for drawing up a “building layout including programming, site plan, concept floor plans with elevations and drawings that are intended to be prepared to obtain a preliminary scope of project size and cost.” Petoskey Paddlers aim to form lake water trail PHoto courtesy/Robert deJonge Under the red moon: The Emmet County Headlands Dark Sky Park may soon undergo a multi-million-dollar improvement.

As a group, the 10 northwest counties — Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet, Benzie, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, Leelanau, Emmet Manistee, Missaukee and Wexford — showed Charlevoix an unemployment rate of 9.3 percent for July, Michigan as noted in data released by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget. In June, the regional rate had been 9.4 percent. But July’s figure was a bit above the year-ago level. During that month in 2012, the northwest region had a jobless percentage of 9.2 percent overall. While Emmet and Charlevoix counties’ unemployment rates were among the higher ones in the region — at 10.4 and 10.2 percent, respectively — both showed month-to-month decreases for July. The other sixteen regional labor markets around Michigan all showed month-to-month rises in their unemployment rates for July. “July jobless rates rose typically in the majority of the state’s labor market regions,” said Michael Williams, acting director of the Bureau of Labor Market Information & Strategic Initiatives. “Payroll jobs declined over the month in Michigan’s local regions due to seasonal short-term job reductions in education, temporary G.

President Barack Obama has not decided how to respond to the use of deadly gases, officials said. The White House said last year that type of warfare would cross a “red line.” The U.S., along with allies in Europe, appeared to be laying the groundwork for the most aggressive response since Syria’s civil war began more than two years ago. Two administration officials said the U.S. was expected to make public a more formal determination of chemical weapons use on Tuesday, with an announcement of Obama’s response likely to follow quickly. The officials insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the internal deliberations. Speaking to reporters at the State Department on Monday, Kerry was harshly critical of chemical warfare. “By any standard, it is inexcusable and — despite the excuses and equivocations that some have manufactured — it is undeniable,” said Kerry, the highest-ranking U.S. official to confirm the attack in the Damascus suburbs that activists say killed hundreds of people. In an interview published Tuesday on the website of the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency, Assad accused the U.S. and other countries of “disdain and blatant disrespect of their own public opinion; there isn’t a body in the world, The down and dirty about nerve agents like sarin Seth Borenstein AP Science Writer WASHINGTON — Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday that a large-scale chemical weapons attack occurred in Syria. There are still many questions about chemical weapons, some of which can be answered easily and some of which can’t. Q: What chemical weapon are we talking about? A: It’s not clear yet. But experts point to a class of chemical weapons called nerve agents because of the symptoms seen in the victims in Syria. Nerve agents commonly include sarin, soman, VX and taubun. They are called nerve agents because they block transmission of nerve cell transmissions. Q: What are the symptoms reported and how does that tell us nerve agents were used? A: The humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders reported seeing “large number of patients arriving with symptoms including convulsions, excessive saliva, pinpoint pupils, blurred vision and respiratory distress.” Dr. Amesh Adalja, a senior associate for the Center for Biosecurity at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, said what the group of doctors in Syria is reporting “is what let alone a superpower, that makes an accusation and then goes about collecting evidence to prove its point.” Assad warned that if the U.S. attacks Syria, it will face “what it has been confronted with in every war since Vietnam: failure.” The British government said Tuesday its military is drawing up contingency plans for a possible military attack on Syria. Italy, meanwhile, is insisting that any military strike must be authorized by the U.N. Security Council. The international community appeared to be considering action that would punish Assad for deploying deadly gases, not sweeping measures aimed at ousting the Syrian leader or strengthening rebel forces. The focus of the internal debate underscores the scant international appetite for a large-scale deployment of forces in Syria and the limit- a textbook would list to say nerveagent poison.” Symptoms like incredibly small pupils help say it is not another chemical agent like mustard gas or chlorine gas. Q: What’s the difference between the various nerve agents? A: Essentially the four nerve agents do the same things to the body, kill in the same way, have the same antidote and treatment, and are all banned by the international convention signed by 189 countries so there is no practical difference for the U.S. in planning a response if it was sarin or VX, Adjala said. Sarin, sometimes called GB, is the most volatile of the nerve agents and VX the most lethal. Q: Why do I hear the name sarin associated with this attack more than the others? A: Mostly it is based on the Syrian leadership’s past likely use and storage of sarin, Adalja said. Q: Will we ever know which nerve agent it is? A: Maybe. Weapons inspectors can use relatively simple chemical analysis to determine which compound it was, based on body, soil and weapon samples, Adalja said. But he added that those samples degrade quickly and there’s a chance we won’t ever know. If they got good samples, we’ll know in a day or two probably, he said. But in ed number of other options that could significantly change the trajectory of the conflict. “We continue to believe that there’s no military solution here that’s good for the Syrian people, and that the best path forward is a political solution,” State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said. “This is about the violation of an international norm against the use of chemical weapons and how we should respond to that.” The Obama administration was moving ahead even as a United Nations team already on the ground in Syria collected evidence from last week’s attack. The U.S. said Syria’s delay in giving the inspectors access rendered their investigation meaningless and officials said the administration had its own intelligence confirming chemical weapons use. U.N. officials disagreed that it was too late. 1993, Physicians for Human Rights said that its doctors and a lab at Britain’s Defense Ministry were able to determine the use of sarin in Iraq four years earlier because of residues of a chemical that had the unique fingerprint of sarin. Q: How do nerve agents kill? A: They break down an enzyme that allows nerves to talk to each other, so victims become overstimulated. In addition to other symptoms, there’s chest tightening, rapid breathing, vomiting, diarrhea, confusion, headache, changes in heart rate, loss of consciousness, convulsions and paralysis. Eventually, and depending on dose levels it could only be a matter of minutes, you do die of respiratory failure, Adalja said. Q: Is it painful? A: “The seizure, being paralyzed, if you are still awake, that can almost be torturous,” Adalja said. Q: If it is sarin, can you see it or smell it? A: No. As a liquid it is odorless, colorless and tasteless. It’s often used in gas form but can kill with liquid content on the skin. Q: Is it natural? A: No. It is man-made, created in 1938 as a pesticide and similar to certain kinds of insecticides called organophosphates now used. However, nerve agents are much more potent. Saturday 10am - 5pm Q: Is there a treatment? A: Yes, if doses are low enough and you catch it in time. There is a dual chemical injection shot that many people in the military carry with them and it must be used quickly. Also if you think you are exposed, you need to remove your clothes and wash thoroughly. Q: Has sarin been used much in the past? A: The most famous sarin attack was a 1995 terror attack on the Tokyo subway that killed 13 people and injured about 6,000 people. Q: How do you get rid of the stuff ? A: Experts say nerve gas has to be disposed of properly in locations with high temperatures and controls to keep gas from escaping to minimize the risk of accidentally gassing other people. Q: So how can the U.S. military destroy Syria’s nerve gas supplies? A: “Several of the options that are being discussed for military intervention have downside risks,” said Amy Smithson, a chemical weapons expert at the Center for Nonproliferation Studies. “Bombing the (weapons storage) site risks releasing the chemicals over nearby population.” Making matters worse, Syrian President Bashar Assad has threatened to use the weapons if attacked, she said.

Rhonda Mitchell of Kalkaska entered the plea Monday to a misdemeanor charge of committing a moving violation causing death. She had been facing felony manslaughter charges. Three people died, and six, including Mitchell, were hurt in the April 29 crash in Kalkaska County. A police investigation shows both Mitchell and Grayling High golf coach Jason Potter were at fault. Mitchell’s no-contest plea isn’t an admission of guilt but will be treated that way at sentencing, which is set for Oct. 2. Fire damages home in Norwood Township CHARLEVOIX — A misplaced cigarette butt is believed to be the cause of a fire that damaged a porch on a home in Charlevoix County’s Norwood Township Sunday. City of Charlevoix Fire Department Fire Chief Paul Ivan said firefighters were called to the home of Timothy and Susan Boyko at 04001 Lakeshore Drive, off Clipperview Road at about 8:15 p.m. to a report of a fire at the house. Ivan said because of the home’s distant location at the end of a dead-end road, Charlevoix fire officials called for mutual aid from the Charlevoix Township Fire Department right away. When they arrived on the scene, firefighters found the fire located under a platform/enclosed porch of the house. Ivan said firefighters were able to remove some siding and extinguish the fire, limiting damage to an external corner and the porch of the house. Ivan said a misplaced cigarette butt started the fire, which was fanned by the wind off Lake Michigan. Ivan said the house is still in a “livable” condition. There were no injuries in the incident, and firefighters were on the scene for a little more than an hour. The Charlevoix County Sheriff ’s Office assisted. Shot bear not the one that attacked Cadillac girl LANSING — The DNA of a bear killed Aug. 18 by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources does not match the DNA of the bear that attacked 12-year-old Abby Wetherell near Cadillac, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced Monday. According to a DNR press release, the bear’s carcass was examined by the DNR Wildlife Disease Laboratory in Lansing, in cooperation with Michigan State University and the Michigan State Police. Tests were conducted for disease and the bear’s DNA was extracted. The bear DNA was then checked against DNA from fur and saliva lifted from Abby’s clothing and from the scene of the attack. The tests showed that the bear that attacked Abby was a female. The bear that was killed was a male.

Tuesday, August 27, 2013 • A3 Charlevoix Charlevoix school contracts OK’d; no salary increases included District receives clean report from auditor Jamie Baumann (231) 439-9350 - [email protected] Charlevoix Public Schools Board of Education ratified contracts through the 20142015 school year for both the Education Association and the Education Support Personnel Association at its meeting on Monday. “The main negotiation was over health benefits,” superintendent Robert Gendron said. “In the past, the district paid 80 percent and the teachers paid 20 percent of their health insurance costs. We are now moving to the state-mandated fixed caps for insurance benefits, which are hard dollar amounts that won’t be exceeded, rather than percentages. Then employees are free to opt for the coverages they choose and pay for anything over the hard cap.” There are no salary increases included in the contract. Both Education Association chief negotiator Annemarie Conway and retiring Education Support Personnel Association president Jane Kanine praised the board and Gendron with how the negotiations were handled. “Bob really listened and treated us with such respect,” Kanine said. “The support personnel feel valued and ready to come back to work.” The district also received a clean report from their auditor, Angie Roelofs, CPA with Baird, Cotter and Bishop, P.C. She reported that at the end of 2012-2013, $84,119 was added to the district fund balance, leaving a starting fund balance for 2013-2014 at about $536,946 or 5.3 percent of the total district budget. “Keep moving in the direction you are headed and keep an eye on that fund balance,” Roelofs said. “With 5.3 percent, that’s only about two or three weeks operating expenses in reserve. Continue bringing up your fund balance.” Virtual school Re presentatives from Job Skills Technolog y Inc., Connie Hunter, senior sales representative, and Gary Kughn, vice president, presented the cur riculum for the Charlev- oix Virtual Academy, slated to begin this school year and run on the Charlevoix Public Schools calendar. Charlevoix has received a seat time waiver from the state which will allow students who attend the virtual academy to be counted for state funding. The targets for the virtual a c a d e m y a r e s t u d e n t s wh o are currently home-schooled or who need more flexibility in their high school scheduling than the comprehensive high school can provide. The curriculum is being provided through K-12.com and will offer a basic core curriculum, for those who may be struggling with classes, a comprehensive cur riculum for the on-target students and an Advanced Placement curriculum for honors students. The virtual school will offer up to 140 different high school courses including core subjects, electives, foreign languages and Advanced Placement courses.

They also come with some textbooks and novels. Some things are printed out from the computer to be completed offline.” T here is flexibility in the vir tual school, in ter ms of which hours in a 24-hour period a student wants to do the work. However, it must be done every day. “If we don’ t monitor that strictly, students may let the work build up until it’s impossible to finish a course,” Kughn said. The virtual school costs nothing to parents and students, as it is funded through Charlevoix Public Schools. It is now in the process of admitting students.

( A P ) — T h e M i ch i g a n S e n at e is poised to take a vote on whether to make more adults eligible for Medicaid, the government health insurance program for the poor. Medicaid expansion is a key component of the federal health care law and is supported by Republican Gov. Rick Snyder. But he’s had trouble persuading the Senate to go along after the GOP-led House passed legislation in June. With pressure building, t h e S e n at e ’s Re p u bl i c a n leader is planning to call a vote as early as today, Tuesday, afternoon. Suppor ters say the Affordable Care Act is here to stay and Michigan can cut the number of uninsured almost in half by expanding Medicaid next year. Critics say “Obamacare” should be rejected at every turn. If the Senate doesn’t vote Tuesday, it could return to the legislation Wednesday. Wanted Michigan man, 3 kids found safe at lakeshore John Flesher Associated Press GLEN HAVEN, Mich. — A 12-hour search for a man wanted on a domestic violence charge and his three young children ended when crew members found them clambering down a hillside at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, leaving baffled authorities searching for answers. “I feared for the worst,” Leelanau County Sherif f Mike Borkovich said after the ordeal ended Monday night. “It all turned out well, but something was wrong with this picture.” The 50-year-old man from the Detroit suburb of Orchard Lake was jailed overnight and scheduled for arraignment Tuesday in Emmet County, where his wife filed the domestic violence complaint, Borkovich said. He described the incident as minor and said no other charges were expected. Officials were withholding the man’s name until the court hearing. The children were exhausted, famished and covered with mosquito bites but otherwise unharmed, the sheriff said. They had been given nothing to eat or drink since breakfast Sunday morning. They arrived that afternoon at the lakeshore in the nor thwest cor ner of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula, about 280 miles northwest of Detroit, and spent the night in the woods with little if any shelter. A heavy rainstorm drenched the area Monday morning, and the remainder of the day was hot and muggy. The children are the man’s 14and 10-year-old daughters and his 9-year-old son. The motive for the man’s actions wasn’t immediately clear. The children told their rescuers they’d been on a camping trip, said Phil Akers, chief ranger at the national lakeshore. “They didn’t appear to have a lot of supplies or equipment with them,” said Phil Akers, chief ranger at the national lakeshore. “Just kind of a spur-ofthe-moment, ‘let’s take off into the woods and go camping’ trip.” The man got into a conflict with his wife Sunday during a vacation trip to Emmet County, Borkovich said. She filed a complaint against him with the county sheriff ’s department, which issued a misdemeanor warrant. According to Emmet County Sherif f Pete Wallin, the incident took place in Bear Creek Township. About 7 a.m. Monday, a lakeshore park ranger spotted a car with a dented door parked on a road near the Coast Guard Maritime Heritage Museum. Borkovich said the ranger ran a check on the license plate and learned there was an alert for the vehicle, touching off the massive manhunt. Crews walked the Lake Michigan shoreline and combed wetlands and inland ridges. The search involved dozens of personnel from the Michigan State Police, the national park, the state Department of Natural Resources and the Leelanau County and Grand Traverse County sheriff ’s departments. A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter team searched by air. Parts of the lakeshore, including the popular Dune Climb, were closed to the public during the search. Reinforcements from volunteer fire departments and other agencies arrived Monday night and began combing the area more systematically. The family was found about an hour later, walking down a sandy hillside. The terrain in the park along the northern Lake Michigan coast is a mixture of towering dunes and swampy woodlands thick with trees and undergrowth. “We saw no criminal intent,” Borkovich said afterward. “It didn’t look like the subject was going to flee to Chicago with the kids or out west or to Mexico. It didn’t look like he planned to harm them in any way. The spouse said he loves his kids and they love him. We got good word from his side of the family that he’s a very gentle person and no problems. “So as it tur ned out, it’s a very strange event but all ended well.” opinion A4 Tuesday, August 27, 2013 • The education of our children W hose responsibility is it to educate children? The answer is not the school. It’s the parents who are the only people responsible. Fortunately, we live in America where we have many resources to assist parents in the education of their children. Private schools, if you can afford it, public schools accept everyone and home schooling materials are abundantly available. Children, from the moment they’re born, are learning all of the time. For good or bad, they’re learning. The family home is the most important classroom. It’s where a child learns to relate to others in a soSarowski cially acceptable manner. If the parents haven’t learned those skills, the child learns how to be violent and selfish. It’s in this classroom where everything they learn is tested. If the family is seriously dysfunctional, the child’s education suffers greatly. It will hardly matter what they learn or don’t learn in the school’s classroom if the family doesn’t support and reinforce what the school teaches. Our daughter attended an elementary school in which 69 percent of the households were single parent, low income families. The school held less than 250 children. That is the maximum number an elementary school should have before the quality of education begins to drop, according to a PTA (Parent Teachers Association) survey in the 1980s. At the time, parents were very welcome in the school. We assisted the teachers in and out of the classrooms; therefore discipline was not an issue. We developed events that taught various values and behaviors. So even though the majority of parents were not available to attend meetings and events because they were working, there was enough parent involvement to keep the school peaceful and healthy. Students, who were motivated to learn, did. However, there were many children who didn’t know to which house they were going after school; grandparents’, mom’s, dad’s, or a friend’s. Consequently, no one followed up on their homework and no one accepted the primary responsibility for evaluating the child’s progress or lack thereof. No one monitored their meals or their clothing. Some would arrive in school having had not only no breakfast, but no dinner either. On cold days, it was not unusual for a few to arrive without socks or a jacket. These children were at such a disadvantage that no amount of one-on-one tutoring could make up for the absence of a stable and healthy family. Then a very unfortunate thing happened. As soon as our principal retired, his replacement was a woman who believed that once the child crossed over the school’s threshold, that child no longer belonged to the parent. Parents had to make an appointment through the principal’s office to see the teacher or to enter the classroom. Parents were not welcome in the school to run or assist at events, either during or after school hours. Parents were no longer involved in decisions affecting the children. Fortunately for our daughter, she went on to a middle school shortly after the new principal arrived. It wasn’t long before crime increased in this elementary school and the best teachers retired or left. Taking over the parents’ responsibility rarely works. That’s why conservatives decry the breakdown of the family. Wherever that breakdown is prevalent you can predict that the schools will be overwhelmed with discipline problems and low test scores. A healthy, family classroom in which children are encouraged to be self-motivated to learn and take responsibility for their own future is irreplace- able. Conservatives are strong supporters of parental rights. Obviously, there are times when the child must accept the authority of someone other than their parents. The parents give temporary authority in specific situations; police, teachers, caregivers, etc. However, the ultimate authority always rests with the parents. Extreme cases of neglect are, of course, exceptions. Benjamin Franklin said in 1749, “The good education of youth has been esteemed by wise men in all ages, as the surest foundation of the happiness both of private families and of common-wealths.” John Adams, 1756, said it best. “It should be your care …, to elevate the minds of our children …; to accelerate and animate their industry and activity; to excite in them an habitual contempt of meanness, abhorrence of injustice and inhumanity, and an ambition to excel in every capacity, faculty, and virtue.” Yet, MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry says in a spot for the network’s “Lean Forward” campaign, “… we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents, or kids belong to their families, and recognize that kids belong to whole communities.” We cannot adopt the proposition that children are no longer their parents’ exclusive responsibility.

What other editors say Michigan spends billions in state C Letter from our readers Science and the Bible Editor: There have been conflicts between true science and false religion and between false science and the Bible, but there has never been a conflict between the Bible, which was authored by God who created all things and true science which has to do with the knowledge man has attained through the study of things God has created. What we really need to learn from Copernicus and Galileo concerns their outspoken faith. Copernicus, in his preface, de revolutionibus Orbium coelestium in 1543, said, “How could anything observe the mighty order with which our God governs the universe without feeling himself inclined ... to the practice of all virtues, and to the beholding of the creator himself, the source of all goodness, in all things and before all things?” Galileo, in his 1613 letter to Father Bendetto Castelli, a friend, supporter and former student, said, “I believe that the intention of Holy Writ (the Bible) was to persuade men of the truths necessary to salvation; such as neither science or other means could render it credible, but only the voice of the Holy Spirit.” Sadly, Galileo was denounced by the Pope in 1613 for his letters on the solar spots in which he advocated the Copernican system.

Later, he was summoned to Rome, tried by the inquisition and forced to renounce, by oath, his belief in the Copernician system. Galileo was placed under house arrest in 1633 until his death in 1642. This same Galielo, who was an excellent Bible scholar, had attempted to show that there was Biblical support for the Copernician system, but the Pope, nonethless, condemned the system.

The question has been debated since last month’s disclosure that an Iowa firm won a $1.5 million Michigan Economic Development Corp. contract to produce a Pure Michigan travel guide. Yet an analysis by LSJ state government reporter Kristen Daum of $32 billion in multiyear contracts managed by the Department of Technology, Management and Budget shows that at least 78 percent — some $25 billion worth — go to Michigan businesses. And that total may be higher because some contracts with out-of-state companies result in goods or services being purchased here in Michigan. A Home Depot contract, for example, results in spending at local stores for building supplies. Still, there’s clearly some interest in seeing the overall number move upward. Some lawmakers support bills that would let Michigan businesses rebid for contracts if they were not the “lowest responsive and responsible bidder” the first time around. Yet procurement officials point out that 35 states — including Michigan — have reciprocal preference laws to discourage in-state preferences in other states. One could easily see how an outbreak of in-state preferSubscription Rates Within 50-mile zone of Petoskey Carrier or mail where carrier is not maintained 1 week.........................................$3.70 13 weeks......................................$45.65 5% savings from weekly rate 26 weeks.....................................$89.40 7% savings from weekly rate 1 year...........................................$173.45 9% savings from weekly rate Elsewhere in Michigan and United States 13 weeks......................................$66.60 5% savings from weekly rate 26 weeks.....................................$130.55 7% savings from weekly rate 1 year...........................................$253.00 9% savings from weekly rate EZ Renew Save when you pay automatically with your credit card 1 month.......................................$14.45 13 weeks......................................$43.37 9% savings from regular rate 26 weeks.....................................$86.73 9% savings from regular rate 1 year...........................................$173.45 9% savings from weekly rate ence policies might create a border war with Indiana, Ohio and other nearby states. There are no comparisons available on how much each state spends on home-based contracts versus out-of-state, so whether Michigan’s 78 percent would rank as exceptional or not is unclear. Indeed, the National Association of State Procurement Officers notes that the lack of in-state preference helps promote free-market competition, presumably to the benefit of all. And Michigan law structures the bidding process for contracts to assure the state gets both good value and high quality for its dollars. Location alone is not an assurance of value or quality. Still, Gov. Rick Snyder espouses “economic gardening” — a policy of growing existing and new businesses right here in Michigan — as a vital economic development strategy. To that end, rather than looking to mandate in-state preference, a smarter approach may be more publicity about how Michigan-based businesses can pursue state contracts. DTMB strives to assist with its Contract Connect website, www. michigan.gov/micontractconnect, which includes links to assist potential vendors with registration and tutorials on how to bid for the state’s business. — Lansing State Journal.

Maybe ATLANTA (AP) — CocaCola keeps the recipe for its 127-year-old soda inside an imposing steel vault that’s bathed in red security lights. Several cameras monitor the area to make sure the fizzy for mula stays a secret. But in one of the many signs that the surveillance is as much about theater as reality, the images that pop up on video screens are of smiling tourists waving at themselves. “It’s a little bit for show,” concedes a guard at the World of Coca-Cola museum in downtown Atlanta, where the vault is revealed at the end of an exhibit in a puff of smoke. The ability to push a quaint narrative about a product’s origins and fuel a sense of nostalgia can help drive billions of dollars in sales. That’s invaluable at a time when food makers face greater competition from smaller players and cheaper supermarket store brands that appeal to cashstrapped Americans. It’s why companies such as Coca-Cola and Twinkies’ owner Hostess play up the notion that their recipes are sacred, unchanging documents that need to be closely guarded. As it tur ns out, some recipes have changed over time, while others may not have. Either way, they all stick to the same script that their formulas have remained the same. John Ruff, who formerly headed research & development at Kraft Foods, said companies often recalibrate ingredients for various reasons, including new regulations, fluctuations in commodity costs and other issues that impact mass food production. “It’s almost this mythological thing, the secret formula,” said the president of the Institute of Food Technologists, which stud- COURTESY PHOTO/COCA-COLA This door leads to the Atlanta vault where Coca-Cola keeps the secret recipe for its 127-year-old soda. ies the science of food. “I would be amazed if formulas (for big brands) haven’t changed.” T h i s s u m m e r, t h e T w i n k i e s c re a m - f i l l e d cakes many Americans grew up snacking on made a comeback after being off shelves for about nine months following the bankruptcy of Hostess Brands. At the time, the new owners promised the spongy yellow cakes would taste just like people remember. A re p re s e n t at ive fo r Hostess, Hannah Arnold, said in an email that Twinkies today are “remarkably close to the original recipe,” noting that the Businesses seek to boost image with Packers ties GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Many businesses find value in being associated with Wisconsin’s beloved Green Bay Packers, even toiletpaper maker SCA, which reached a deal with the team earlier this month. T h e c o m p a n y, wh i c h makes a variety of paper products, will supply the Packers with Tork-brand toilet paper, paper towels, multifold towels and wipes in restrooms and concession areas at Lambeau Field. “This is a big deal for us,” Cindy Stilp, brand and marketing communications director with SCA Americas in Neenah, told Gannett Wisconsin Media. “It gives us an opportunity to be part of an organization that has very deep roots locally and across North America. It really helps to have that presence for our brand to be associated with the Packers organization.” Other companies with Packers deals include re- tailer Shopko, which sponsors Lambeau Field’s south gate; Ariens, provider of the team’s snow blowers; and Johnsonville, which makes the team’s official bratwurst. The companies aren’t willing to put a dollar value on the relationship — at least publicly. But they say having a connection to the Packers gives their brands a boost. Shopko, which sells Packers gear and tailgating supplies, saw the gate sponsorship as an investment in the Green Bay community that would resonate with its customers, said Michael Cooper, the company’s senior vice president of marketing. “From a pure (return on investment) perspective, it’s hard to measure,” Cooper said. “There are things in marketing and business you put out there and they are more promotional in nature. This is more understanding the customer engagement and how they perceive us as a brand.” Tell us what you think at petoskeynews.com Joe’s Golf Repair Re-grip Special Winn xi7 grips, only $5/grip While Supplies Last OVER 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE! • Regripping • Reshafting • Repair PN-00386175 • Bags, Balls, Gloves • Offering a Wide Assortment of New & Used Clubs Located in Great American Adventures 2088 US 31 North Petoskey (231)347-7203 www.gaapetoskey.com first three ingredients are still enriched flour, water and sugar. Yet a box of Twinkies now lists more than 25 ingredients and has a shelflife of 45 days, almost three weeks longer than the 26 days from just a year ago. That suggests the ingredients have been tinkered with, to say the least, since they were created in 1930. “When Twinkies first came out they were largely made from fresh ingredients,” notes Steve Ettlinger, author of “Twinkie, Deconstructed,” which traced the roots of the cake’s many modern-day industrial ingredients. “DOOGIE” I am a very smart guy that will need all of training; ED my T but trust me it P O will be a hoot AD for both of us.

For its part, KFC says it still strictly follows the recipe created in 1940 by its famously bearded founder, Colonel Harland Sanders. The chain understood the power of marketing early on, with Sanders originally dying his beard white to achieve a more grandfatherly look. Fast forward to 2009, when KFC decided the security for the handwritten copy of the recipe needed a flashy upgrade. It installed a 770-pound safe that is under constant video and motion-detection surveillance and surrounded by two feet of concrete on every side — just in case any would-be thieves try to dig a tunnel to get it. “Like something out of a Hollywood movie,” a press release from KFC trumpeted at the time, while touting its new value menu in the next breadth. KFC may very well be following the basic instructions of the recipe encased in the vault. But the fanfare around its founder’s instructions is despite his disapproval of the new owners of the chain after he sold his stake in the company in 1964. In his book, for example, Wendy’s founder Dave Thomas, a friend of Sanders’, recounts how the colonel was annoyed because they came up with a simpler way to drain grease off the chicken by dumping it onto wire racks, rather than ladling the grease off by hand. Sanders apparently hated the new system because it bruised the chicken. According to the book, Sanders was afraid the new owners would ruin the chicken because he said they “didn’t know a drumstick from a pig’s ear.” A KFC spokesman, Rick Maynard, said the issue over the grease was indicative of Sanders’ hands-on approach even after selling the business. Maynard said the important parts of the recipe are the seasoning, using fresh chicken on the bone, hand breading according to standards and frying under pressure. As for the chain’s recently introduced boneless Original Recipe chicken, he said it uses the recipe’s seasoning. Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, the nation’s No. 1 and 2 soda makers, respectively, also are known for touting the roots of their recipes. In the book “Secret Formula,” which was published in 1994 and drew from interviews with former executives and access to Coca-Cola’s corporate archives, reporter Frederick Allen noted that multiple changes were made to the formula over the years. For instance, Allen noted that that the soda once contained trace amounts of cocaine as a result of the coca leaves in the ingredients, as well as four times the amount of caffeine. In an emailed statement, Coca-Cola said its secret formula has remained the same since it was invented in 1886 and that cocaine has “never been an added ingredient” in its soda. It’s a line that’s familiar to Terry Parham, a retired special agent for the Drug Enforcement Agency. After the agency opened its museum in Arlington, Va. in the late 1990s, Parham, who was working in the press office at the time, recalled in a recent interview with the Associated Press that a Coca-Cola representative called to complain about an exhibit that noted the soda once contained cocaine. The exhibit stayed and Parham said the DEA didn’t hear back from the company. PepsiCo also celebrates its origins and in the past two years held its annual shareholders meeting in ANNE MARIE “ROGER” “Anne Marie” If you are looking for a cat with tons of personality I am the lady for you.

New Bern, N.C., where Caleb Bradham is said to have created the company’s flagship soda in the late 1890s. But the formula for Pepsi was changed to make it sweeter in 1931 by the company’s new owner, who didn’t like the taste. In the 1980s, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo both switched from sugar to high-fructose corn syrup, a cheaper sweetener. The companies last year also said they’d change the way they make the caramel coloring used in their sodas to avoid having to put a cancer warning label on their drinks in California, where a new law required such labels for foods containing a certain level of carcinogens. Both Coca-Cola and PepsiCo say the sweetener and caramel sources do not alter the basic formulas or taste for their sodas. And they continue to hype up the enduring quality of their recipes. This past spring, for example, Coca-Cola welcomed the widespread news coverage of a Georgia man who claimed to have found a copy of the soda’s formula and tried to sell it on eBay. The company saw the fanfare as evidence of the public’s fascination with its formula, and eagerly offered to make its corporate historian available for interviews to fuel the media attention. Likewise, the company is happy to reminisce about the backlash provoked by the introduction of New Coke in 1985. The sweeter formula was a marketed as an improved replacement for the flagship soda, and the company points to the outrage that ensued as proof of how much people love the original. According to the emailed statement from Coca-Cola, that’s the only time the company ever tried changing its formula. “ROXANNE” Thinking about adopting a kitten?

A6 Tuesday, August 27, 2013 • Obituaries Marie Mitchell, 96 Marie Mitchell, 96, of Brighton, Mich., went to be with her Lord on Aug. 24, 2013. Mrs. Mitchell resided in Brighton for several years most recently in assisted living at Caretel Inn where she was lovingly cared for the last four years. She died of natural causes following a hip fracture in early July. She passed peacefully surrounded by her loving family. Marie was born on Dec. 6, 1916, in St. Louis Mo., the only daughter of Otto and Loretta Fickeissen. She married Walter on Nov. 19, 1936, in St. Louis, and they remained happily married for 55 years until Walter’s death in 1992. She is survived by their three children, Bill (Marilyn), Don (Nina) and Marilyn (Shelly). She had nine grandchildren and 25 greatgrandchildren, all of whom affectionately knew her as Meekie. She was the much loved matriarch of the family who will sorely miss her, but who know that she has joined Walter and her Lord and Savior and will likely be welcomed with the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Mrs. Mitchell lived in St. Louis for several years after her marriage to Walter and then followed his career with General Motors to Memphis, and finally to Detroit and Farmington where they raised their children. After retirement, they moved to the Harbor Springs-Petoskey area where Mitchell they spent many happy years of active retirement volunteering in a variety of ways. Marie used her training as a secretary volunteering as secretary at their church in Petoskey. She also volunteered as a Braille typist for many years converting books to a Braille format. Following Walter’s death, she moved to southeast Michigan, first to Farmington and later Brighton, to be closer to family. She was active at First Presbyterian Church in Brighton where she volunteered her sewing and knitting skills and made many friends.

Additional survivors include nephew, Don (Paula) Hiller, and nieces Barbara, (William) Atwell and Mary Ann Boschke. Raymond, perhaps better known as Ray, attended school in his hometown of Slayton, Texas, and graduated at the age of 16 as valedictorian of his class. He went to work three days after graduation for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway for the summer in the engineering department. He entered Texas A&M that fall majoring in civil engineering. Schooling was interrupted when he was drafted into the U.S. Army after World War II. On return, he alternated working for the Santa Fe and attending school until he received his civil engineering degree from Texas A&M and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army. During the Korean War era, he was recalled to active duty and spent a year in France with the Army Corps of Engineers. Utilizing his benefits from the G.I. bill, he attended the University of Michigan Law School and received his law degree in 1954. It was in Ann Arbor where he met Annabelle Hiller. They were married in the First Congregational Church in Charlevoix in 1954. Ray’s career with the Santa Fe Railroad found Ray and Anne living in Grandmother longs to get to know new granddaughter Dear Annie: I am a first-time grandma to a beautiful baby girl. We live in the same town. I offered to be the caregiver at their home, but my daughter-in-law prefers to take the baby with her on a 50-mile round-trip to a day care near her job. I was devastated by that decision, but accepted it. What I’m having trouble understanding is how often I see the baby. During my few short visits, I have not felt comfortable in their home. I communicate with my son because my daughter-in-law seems very standoffish. I told my son I don’t wish to be a burden on their household routine, but twice I made arrangements to see the baby only to be told on the day of that visit that I had to leave after 30 minutes. The last visit was five weeks ago. I phoned my son and begged to see the baby more often. He agreed at the time that once a week (depending on their schedule) was not unreasonable. I set up an hour visit for this week, and when I arrived at their door, they were preparing to leave the house. My Annie’s visit, which Mailbox meant so much to me, was totally forgotten. My son and his wife have known each other only 13 months. Between the pregnancy, the marriage, the birth and moving into their home, I know it’s been stressful, so I’ve tried to be patient. What is a reasonable expectation for visiting the new baby? — Want To Know My Granddaughter Dear Want: There is no definitive timetable for visiting. It depends on the flexibility and schedules of those involved, as well as the willingness of the participants. Your daughter-in-law apparently is not keen on having you around, and your son is caught in the middle. Don’t push. Instead, make it your goal to become closer to your daughter-in- law. Be her friend. Call her. Ask how she’s doing. Let her know you value her and think she’s a good wife and mother. See whether you can arrange an excursion to the mall or a concert — whatever interests her. If you can help her to be more comfortable around you, the visits will likely increase. Dear Annie: Please tell “Need Help,” the teenager who has mood swings, that most teachers check their email throughout the summer and during school vacations. No matter when it is, most of us are just an email away. We still care about our students, regardless of whether it’s summertime, winter vacation or spring break. That letter broke my heart. It sounds like a student I had this year. I hope he emails me. — Teacher in Louisville, Ky.

California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Kansas and Chicago, where he ended his 44-year career with the Santa Fe. He was instrumental in the integration of computer technology into railroad operations. His expertise brought him to testify before the Interstate Commerce Commission on numerous occasions. During his tenure with the Santa Fe Railroad, he served in the engineering, operations and executive departments retiring as vice president and assistant to the chairman of the board of Santa Fe Industries. Ray and Anne moved to Burcham Hills in East Lansing in 1999 when Anne’s failing health necessitated living close to family members. Ray had a prodigious appetite for reading. He continued throughout his life to expand his knowledge on the economy, world affairs, history, science, literature, language and any other subject that challenged him. Ray was a thoughtful and generous friend to all. As a first-class raconteur, he was an enjoyable dinner partner or companion.

Well, it doesn’t happen that way, does it? But here’s a poem about a Labor Day that’s really at rest, by Joseph Millar, from North Carolina. Labor Day Even the bosses are sleeping late in the dusty light of September. The parking lot’s empty and no one cares. No one unloads a ladder, steps on the gas or starts up the big machines in the shop, sanding and grinding, cutting and binding. No one lays a flat bead of flux over a metal seam or lowers the steel forks from a tailgate. Shadows gather inside the sleeve of the empty thermos beside the sink, the bells go still by the channel buoy, the wind lies down in the west, the tuna boats rest on their tie-up lines turning a little, this way and that.

Volunteers needed for Day of Caring Char-Em United Way is seeking volunteers for the annual Day of Caring on Wednesday, Sept.11. In observance of the National Day of Service and Remembrance, hundreds of local volunteers along with thousands of other groups statewide and millions of people nationwide plan to pay tribute as part of the single-largest charitable service effort in the United States. Char-Em United Way is also celebrating the 10th anniversary of this local community service event. The goal of the National Day of Service and Remembrance is to bring Americans together in the same spirit of compassion, unity and service that existed after the 9/11 attacks. The Day of Caring for Charlevoix and Emmet counties focus is on local nonprofit organizations and senior citizens. Volunteers are still needed to complete approximately 50 service projects throughout both counties. Volunteers assist with a variety of projects from painting and landscaping to stocking a food pantry or sorting donations at a resale shop. Projects are listed online through Char-Em United Way’s Volunteer Connections at http://volunteer.truist.com/charemunitedway/ volunteer/home/ or visit www.charemunitedway.org.

The exhibit explores the artistic journey of their work from linoleum block prints representing campers, crows, dogs and influences from travels to Japan by Krell, to mixed media objet d ’arts, to a large scale painting of Toornman’s titled “Serious Business” (displayed in Grand Rapids during ArtPrize), to smaller intimate oil paintings of toy cars and other intriguing objects. “It probably would have been advantageous to our professional art careers, financially, to have stuck with a single theme created in a recognizable style repeated with a single media. However, neither of us has ever been able to do that. Instead we have both varied our focus on subject matter and the choice of materials we work with. This show is a celebration of that diversity,” explains Toornman. The end result is a fascinating view of the curiosities and observations of the artistic mind with whimsy, study and joy in what they see and do. “Dissimilar Interests” will be on display through Sept. 16.

The project is mentioned in the county’s master plan and capital improvement plans as a longterm goal, but only recently did the county start looking for some funding in the form of a Great Lakes Fishery Trust grant, which can be up to $500,000. Emmet County will not be seeking the full amount for the pier, rather it will be looking at securing $120,000 total to have designs drawn for a new fishing and public access pier. The grant match would come from Emmet County capital improvement funds set aside earlier this year for a land acquisition that fell through. The county had previously looked at grants to secure a Walloon Lake property in Resort Township, though the property was sold before the county could secure the needed grant funding from the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund. “We’re kind of looking at this like an opportunity where one door closes and another door opens,” said Tammy Doernenburg, Emmet County planning and zoning director, while explaining the new plan to the board earlier in August. Both votes foreshadow big developments for the largely untouched 600-acre forest park, which was has become a popular astronomy site since being designated as a international dark sky preserve by the International Dark-Sky Association in 2011. While other structures are being explored, one of the three current structures, the Headlands Beach House, will be razed in the next year if no donations or longterm plans to make the necessary $1 million in repairs needed at the former Roger McCormick-owned pool house at the property.

Obama awards Medal of Honor to war veteran Tom Raum Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama bestowed the nation’s highest military honor, the Medal of Honor, on Army Staff Sgt. Ty Carter on Monday, saluting the veteran of the war in Afghanistan as “the essence of true heroism,” one still engaged in a battle against the lingering emotional fallout of war. Carter risked his life to save an injured soldier, resupply ammunition to his comrades and render first aid during intense fighting in a remote mountain outpost four years ago. “As these soldiers and families will tell you, they’re a family forged in battle, and loss, and love,” Obama said as Carter stood at his side and members of his unit watched in the White House East Room. Then as an Army specialist, Carter sprinted from his barracks into a ferocious firefight, a day-long battle on Oct. 3, 2009, that killed eight of his fellow soldiers as they tried to defend their outpost — at the bottom of a valley and surrounded by high mountains — from the onslaught of a much larger force of Taliban and local fighters. Still suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome, Carter stood nearly emotionless during the ceremony, although a faint smile crossed his face near the end that turned into a broad grin as Obama hung the metal and its blue ribbon around his neck and the audience — which included 40 members of the recipient’s family — answered with a rousing standing ovation. Later, Carter told reporters outside the White House that receiving the medal had been “one of the greatest experiences” for his family and that he would “strive to live up to the responsibility.” He also said he wanted to help the American public to better understand the “invisible wounds” still inflicting him and thousands of others. “Only those closest to me can see the scars,” Carter said, reading his statement. He said Americans should realize that those suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome “are not damaged, they are just burdened by living when others are not.” Jobless from A1 G.

Midwest heat wave prompts early school dismissals Grant Schulte Associated Press LINCOLN, Neb. — An unusual, late-summer heat wave has enveloped much of the Midwest, putting schools and sports events on hold. Schools in Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, the Dakotas and Illinois let out early on Monday as temperatures crept toward the mid-90s — beyond in some places. After-school sports practices and evening games were canceled in St. Paul, Minn., and misting stations were keeping people cool at the Minnesota State Fair, where about 90 fairgoers had been treated for heat-related illnesses over the weekend. The heat wave is supposed to last through much of the week, the National Weather Service said. Heat of this magnitude is unusual for this time of year, but not unprecedented. In Des Moines, Iowa, for instance, temperatures on Aug. 26 have reached at least 100 degrees at least six times since 1881. School districts took precautions, not wanting to put students and teachers in sweaty — and possibly dangerous — situations. In central Iowa, Marshalltown Community School District administrators canceled afternoon preschool classes on Monday and Tuesday and were planning to release other students two hours early. Parts of all 10 of district buildings have air conditioning, but some rooms aren’t connected. “The buildings can heat up pretty fast, especially when you have kids in there,” district spokesman Jason Staker said. “It’s not a good environment for students or teachers.” Five elementary schools in Fargo, North Dakota, canceled classes through Wednesday because the buildings weren’t fully air-conditioned. Temperatures inside them on Sunday ranged from 85 degrees to 90 degrees, Fargo Schools Superintendent Jeff Schatz said. In South Dakota, the Sioux Falls School District continued with classes as scheduled, but spokeswoman DeeAnn Konrad said teachers kept window blinds closed and tur ned off lights in classrooms. The district was also prepared to move students into cooler rooms at nearby churches and a Christian school, she said. School administrators in the western Nebraska town of Alliance decided to send students home early after local forecasters predicted temperatures in excess of 90 degrees. Some classes in the 1,600-student district are held on the third floor, and temperatures rise when students fill the room. “It can get uncomfortable even when the temperatures are in the upper 80s,” superintendent Troy Unzicker said. Minneapolis students had to go to school all day, but administrators canceled after-school activities and distributed 750 cases of water to schools. Officials also sent industrial fans to the 18 buildings that lack air conditioning, district spokeswoman Rachel Hicks said. Parents were advised to dress their kids in light clothing, while staffers watched for any symptoms of heat-related illnesses. In Des Moines, organizers of a downtown farmers market set for Wednesday postponed the event out concern over the extreme heat The Iowa Department of Public Health issued a statewide advisory for vulnerable populations, including young children and the elderly. In some cases, the heat can become so extreme that sweating isn’t enough for people to lower their body temperatures, Dr. Patricia Quinlisk said. “Especially when the humidity is high, sweat will not evaporate as quickly, preventing the body from releasing heat quickly,” she said. help, and manufacturing.” Elaine Wood, chief executive officer of the Northwest Michigan Council of Governments — which compiles a variety of economic and demographic statistics for the region — believes several factors may have helped Northwest Michigan’s jobless percentage edge downward instead, such as the area’s tourism sector being around its traditional yearly peak in July. “That’s certainly not the only factor, clearly, because most of Michigan has a tourism factor,” she said. “I also think our region is doing a great job of economic development, particularly in the area of manufacturing.” Health care, another of the region’s key job providers, has continued to show g rowth, Wood noted, although it’s been tempered somewhat by uncertainties about federal health reform’s impacts. Wood also noted that the agriculture industry is significant for the region. July is a typically strong month for this sector, she said, and it has reaped some benefits from the popularity of healthier and locally grown foods. “Our region has really been in the forefront in terms of understanding that quality of life attracts jobs,” Wood added. “Local communities concentrating on placemaking and quality of life may be yielding benefits in terms of economic growth.” Follow @ryan_bentley on Twitter. Crews report good progress against Yosemite fire Brian Skoloff Tracie Cone Associated Press TUOLUMNE CITY, Calif. — Crews were finally g aining ground on a massive wildfire burning near Yosemite National Park and no water or power disruptions were expected from ash raining on the main reservoir that supplies San Francisco, officials said late Monday. While the blaze continued to grow in size, containment numbers were up, as was optimism that firefighters were making some progress, said Glen Stratton, an operations chief on the fire suppression team. N e a rl y 3 , 7 0 0 f i r e f i g h t e r s battled the approximately 252-square-mile blaze, the biggest wildfire on record in California’s Sierra Nevada. The fire was 20 percent contained. “It’s been a real tiger,” said Lee Bentley, fire spokesman for the U.S. Forest Service. “He’s been going around trying to bite its own tail, and it won’t let go but we’ll get there.” While flames reached the edge of the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, the chief source of San Francisco’s famously pure drinking water, crews were confident they would be able to protect hydroelectric transmission lines and other utility facilities, Stratton said. Utility officials monitored the clarity of the water and used a massive new $4.6 billion gravity-operated pipeline system to move water quickly to reservoirs closer to the big city. “It looks great out there,” Stratton said Monday night. “I don’t think we’re going to have any problems up at Hetch Hetchy.” INSIDE WASHINGTON: Government agencies at odds over probe Pete Yost Associated Press WASHINGTON — The federal government is fighting with itself over a massive fire at a Chevron refinery in California that sent 15,000 people to hospitals with respiratory ailments. In one cor ner is the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board, which conducted 119 interviews in an effort to find out what caused last year’s accident and how to prevent it from happening again. In the other is the Environmental Protection Agency, which is conducting a criminal investigation and wants the interviews to help it determine who’s responsible. The 7-month-old document dispute has become so conten- tious that the safety board, headed by Rafael Moure-Eraso, went to court in an effort to quash grand jury subpoenas that federal prosecutors issued on behalf of the EPA, according to correspondence obtained by The Associated Press. Efforts to reach a compromise have failed so far. The fight between the board and the EPA illustrates how two vital public priorities — promoting safety and punishing violators — can be at odds with each other. While bureaucratic turf battles are a way of life in government, it is unusual for such disagreements to result in a subpoena fight. The chemical board does not conduct criminal investigations, but relies on cooperation from industry workers to carry out its mission of pinpointing the causes of accidents and recommending ways to avoid them. In contrast, the EPA has a division with 200 agents whose job it is to prosecute criminal conduct that threatens people’s health and the environment. The board “has been working diligently with the Department of Justice to seek alternatives to release of the Chevron accident witness statements,” Moure-Eraso said in a statement. “Requiring the CSB to turn over these interviews and notes where they would be used to draft criminal charges and for prosecution purposes would likely have a devastating effect on our work.” The Aug. 6, 2012, accident at Chevron’s Richmond refinery 10 miles northeast of San Fran- cisco sent clouds of gas and black smoke billowing over residential neighborhoods. In the weeks after, some 15,000 people were sent to hospitals with breathing problems. Chevron has paid $10 million to settle 24,000 claims from residents and to compensate area hospitals and local government agencies. According to a person familiar with the probe, the EPA is trying to determine the extent to which Chevron managers were aware of serious, widespread corrosion problems at the refinery and whether the managers chose not to replace aging pipes. The person, who spoke only on condition of anonymity, was not authorized to comment publicly about the matter.

This time, their pitching let them down. Three relievers allowed at least one run as the Tigers lost 8-6 to the Oakland Athletics on Monday night, ending a three-game winning streak. “We just didn’t pitch good. I don’t know what else to tell you,” Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. “They were swinging the bats good, and we didn’t pitch good. Our pitchers have been terrific, but tonight they got beat. No big deal.” Omar Infante and Victor Martinez also went deep for the AL Central-leading Tigers, who had won six of eight. Martinez went 4 for 5 and Torii Hunter had two hits. Cabrera hit his 43rd homer, bolstering his pursuit of another Triple Crown, but Daric Barton had a tiebreaking RBI single in Oakland’s two-run sixth inning.

The righthander was 0-2 with a 3.47 ERA in his previous four starts. “I was just trying to battle and keep the ball down good,” Griffin said. “It’s good to win, a good battle. It felt like a playoff atmosphere.” Grant Balfour allowed an unearned run in the ninth but held on for his 33rd save. Cabrera went deep in the fifth, sending a 3-1 slider from Griffin over the wall in right for a tworun shot that tied it at 4. He leads the AL with a .359 batting average and 130 RBIs, but he trailed Baltimore slugger Chris Davis for the home run lead by three. “Trying to go off the plate, trying to make him chase something,” Griffin said. “It was up. If it would have been down, it would have been a better pitch.” Oakland responded in the sixth, jumping all over Jose Alvarez (1-4). Barton, who was called up from Triple-A Sacramento earlier in the day, had the last of three consecutive singles to open the inning, driving in Nate Freiman. Crisp added an RBI single. Alvarez was charged with two runs and Al Alburquerque and Jeremy Bonderman each gave up one after Anibal Sanchez was forced out after throwing 112 pitches in five innings. “We did a good job of being patient,” Crisp said. “I think we got his pitch count pretty good.” Sanchez allowed four runs and five hits in five innings. He struck out six and walked three. “They got some hits off tough pitches, but Anibal has been great for us, and this was just one of those days,” Martinez said. “Obviously, no one wants to give up hits and no one wants to leave runners on base, but we’re playing against a big league team and they are playing just as hard as we are.” NOTES: Detroit SS Jose Iglesias returned after missing two games because of soreness above his left elbow. ...

The 33-year-old Blake, who attended Harvard before turning pro in 1999, reached a career-high ranking of No. 4 in 2006. He is currently 100th and has a 9-13 record this season heading into his first-round match in the U.S. Open against Ivo Karlovic. Blake’s announcement comes a year after his friend and former U.S. Davis Cup teammate, Andy Roddick, retired after the U.S. Open. NEW YORK — Matt Harvey has a partially torn ligament in his right elbow, a potentially devastating injury for the pitcher that had given the foundering New York Mets reason to be hopeful about their future. For now, the 24-year-old Harvey and the Mets hope that he will be able to avoid reconstruction surgery on the ulnar collateral ligament. A full prognosis will not be made until swelling in the elbow goes down in about two weeks. The National League’s All-Star game starter on his home field this July, Harvey has been experiencing forearm tenderness for a month or two but could not pinpoint exactly when it began. The discomfort increased during his start Saturday against the Detroit Tigers, when he allowed a career-high 13 hits.

She is, after all, a seven-time Grand Slam singles champion and runner-up another seven times. Two years removed from being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that saps energy, hampered much of this season by a bad lower back, and her ranking down to 60th, the 33-year-old Williams defeated 12th-seeded Kirsten Flipkens 6-2, 6-2 to advance to the second round. Serena Williams also won, opening her title defense with a 6-0, 6-1 victory over 2010 French Open champion Francesca Schiavone. Earlier, 12-time major champion Rafael Nadal delivered a straightforward, straight-set victory over 21-year-old American Ryan Harrison, part of a series of smooth performances by top players.

Barry Lane 68 $177,393 NFL Lions starting offensive line coming into focus ALLEN PARK AP) — The fourth and final preseason game is just a few days away, yet the Detroit Lions still have some important decisions to make. Two of those decisions are at right tackle and right guard. In the first preseason game, Dylan Gandy started at right guard and Corey Hilliard at right tackle. In the second game Jake Scott started at right guard and Jason Fox at right tackle. Last Thursday in the third game, rookie Larry Warford started at right guard and Fox again started at right tackle. “I think there’s still possibilities there but it’s coming into focus,” Lions coach Jim Schwartz said Monday. “It’s coming into focus over the course of training camp. There could still be something that could change our minds. It’s important to finish strong, finish the way we started. All our positions are starting to come into a little focus but none of them are cemented yet.” Since Fox, the Lions’ fourth-round pick in the 2010 draft, started the last two games, perhaps the Lions are leaning his way for the starter’s job? “We’ll keep that to ourselves,” Schwartz said. “All those guys are competing and they’re all doing well. We’ll have very good options at that position.” As for Fox, he said he doesn’t have a clue. “They haven’t said anything to us,” Fox said. “It’s still preseason in my mind. All I can control is me. I’ve got to play to the best of my abilities in the game Thursday and it’ll sort out how it sorts out.” In his career, Fox has played in five games with no starts. Hilliard has played in 37 games with five starts. “He’s a really good player. Corey’s a heck of a player,” Fox said. “They’ve obviously showed a lot of faith in him and he’s been in the league a long time. He’s playing some really good football right now.” Fox is currently listed on the first team on the Lions’ unofficial depth chart, but he knows that’s no guarantee of anything. But he does feel confident in his performance to date and he is focused on Thursday’s game in Buffalo. “Preseason’s not over and this game’s another opportunity to get better and show who I am,’ Fox said. COllege Football Injuries sideline a pair of captains at Michigan ANN ARBOR (AP) — Michigan surprised many observers when they announced they would have four captains this year. As it turns out, they are going to open the season with just two. Linebacker Jake Ryan is out until at least October as he recovers from a torn ACL, and Brady Hoke said Monday that safety Courtney Avery is expected to miss two weeks after having arthroscopic knee surgery over the weekend. Avery found out that he had been named captain the day after his operation. “That was a great pick-meup, to find out that my teammates had shown that kind of faith and trust in me,” he said. “But in a way it will make Saturday even harder, because I want to be out there even more. I feel like I’m letting everyone down by being on the sidelines.” Avery said that the injury has changed his leadership style. “When I was practicing, I was teaching things to guys during drills or after plays,” he said. “Now I’ve had to behave more like a coach — I’ve been pulling guys aside and talking to them on the sidelines.” For Ryan, who has been sidelined since spring camp, the honor was a bit of a shock. “I was surprised, because I’m only a junior and I’ve been hurt,” he said. “I think that makes it even a bigger honor.” Ryan hasn’t really had a chance to lead his teammates, because of his rehab process. “From what I’ve seen, we’ve had a really good camp, but I’ve not been there for a lot of it, which is even more frustrating,” he said. “But I know that if I want to be back in October — and that’s still my goal — I know that I have to be doing my own work. Right now, that’s a lot of running and a lot of cutting with the trainers, and a little bit of work with my teammates and the coaches.” The injuries to Avery and Ryan leave linebacker Cam Gordon and offensive tackle Taylor Lewan as the only healthy captains while the No. 17 Wolverines prepare for Saturday’s opener against Central Michigan. “It’s a game week, so we are all excited,” Hoke said. “Our players and our staff have worked very hard since January to get to this point, and now we’re here. It kicks off when you vote for your captains, and I think Jake, Taylor, Cam and Courtney are all very deserving of the honor. “ Hoke didn’t explain why the Wolverines picked four captains instead of the usual three, just saying that was how the votes turned out. Both Gordon and Lewan have embraced the role of teacher, and both see their elections as a representation of Michigan traditions. “I didn’t expect us to have three defensive captains, and especially two linebackers, but Michigan is famous for defensive players and defensive football,” he said. “I was surprised and honored to be chosen, but as a senior, I know it is already part of my job to help the younger guys. I think my teammates saw that, and saw the way I work day in and day out, and I guess that’s why they picked me. I can’t thank them enough.” Lewan is the only official offensive captain, but both he and Gordon know that junior quarterback Devin Gardner will be filling much the same role. “Devin knows exactly what he has to do, and he’s been great,” said Gordon, one of Gardner’s closest friends. “We have seniors, and we have captains, but the quarterback always has to be a leader, and he’s grabbed on to that.” Lewan, of course, was the least surprising choice in the group. He turned down a shot at being a top pick in the NFL — and probably would have been chosen first overall — to return to Michigan for his senior season. He will be the anchor on offensive line that will have new starters at both guards spots and at center. “The three guys that have earned that spot have all worked really hard, and they are ready to be starting offensive linemen at Michigan,” he said. “But that doesn’t mean they are Michigan linemen. That’s something you really have to earn, and not everyone can do it. We pride ourselves on Michigan linemen at this school. Those are special players, and these guys are going to have to keep working to do it.” Like all his teammates, Lewan was impressed during last week’s visit by Tom Brady, who said that being a two-time captain at Michigan was the greatest honor of his football career — even ahead of his MVP trophies. “That was amazing, but when I found out that I had been selected, I started to understand,” Lewan said. “There’s 133 years of great football tradition here — something no other school has — and you’ve been chosen to lead the 134th year. I can’t even begin to explain what kind of honor and what kind of responsibility that means.” B4 Tuesday, August 27, 2013 • Classifieds 231.347-2544 • fax: 231.347-6833 • petoskeynews.com • e-mail: [email protected] 0690 Services CLAIMS FOR ERRORS Please check your ad on the first day of publication and call us if there are any errors.

I’ve been wondering how many ladies in my hometown of Kelowna will ditch their shirts in celebration. Not many is my guess. I’ve long been fascinated with our continent’s puritanical views on nudity, and the double standard we have when it comes to seeing the chest of a woman in comparison to a man. But isn’t our reaction to the former due to a societal conditioning of what’s acceptable and what’s not? “We’re all bare-naked under our clothes,” my dad used to say whenever I groaned, after catching an unexpected glimpse of him in the buff when I was a teen. My father was what I like to describe as a “nude in peep’s clothing,” only wearing them to appease the rest of us who didn’t want to see his dangly bits on display. If he’d been on his own, and the temperature was suitable, I’m sure he would have lived quite comfortably with nothing on but his birthday suit. As accommodating as he was to his prudish family, he still managed to get in some naked time on occasion, taking skinny dips in the pool when our friends weren’t around, and relaxing at the nude beach in Vancouver. I can’t remember if he took our family to Wreck Beach frequently or just a couple of times – and I’m not going to ask him because he’ll suspect that I’m writing about his nudist tendencies again – but I remember how shocked my little brother and I were to see all the naked bodies walking around. After our initial discomfort, though, it didn’t even faze us later in the day. Similarly, I was initially shocked when I went to my high school friend’s house and encountered her mother and aunt sunbathing topless in the backyard. At first I didn’t know what to do with my eyeballs, but after some time, it was no big deal. “Breasts should be a big deal,” one of my male friends protested when I told him that story. “When I was in Europe I saw them all over the beaches and they became a bore. Who would want that?” Your message goes here I understood his point, but to me, I think it should be an individual’s choice. Wherever a man can be topless, I think a woman should be able to go topless as well, if that’s what she wants to do. The idea behind the Go Topless movement is to promote gender equality. Events on its special day are planned all over the U.S., and other countries as well, encouraging women to bare their chests in public, and suggesting men cover theirs up with bras or bikinis to highlight the double standard. It was once a criminal act for a woman’s nipples to be seen in public. Now, in most states, with the exception of Utah, Indiana and Tennessee, it’s either perfectly legal, or the laws are ambiguous like they are in most of the provinces in Canada. Curious to know what would happen if I walked the streets topless in Kelowna, I went to City Hall and asked. Mayor Walter Gray said people might call the police, thinking it’s illegal, but it’s not. It was just the answer I was hoping for. Not because I have any desire or intention of baring my breasts in public. I don’t. But I do appreciate knowing that I could legally do it if I wanted to. In some countries women would be stoned to death for such a “crime.” I am eternally grateful to be living here, and not there. I am also extremely proud of the continued efforts that men and women make towards gender equality – and human equality too. Lori Welbourne is a syndicated columnist.

Health ��������� ���� ������� �������� �������� & Science Tuesday, August 27, 2013 • B11 Michigan’s big Medicaid expansion vote looms ahead David Eggert Associated Press LANSING — Two months after putting off a decision on whether to expand Medicaid to more low-income adults, leaders of the Michigan Senate are looking to hold their much-anticipated vote. The showdown in the Republican-dominated chamber on Tuesday or Wednesday could determine whether hundreds of thousands of state residents will qualify for government-provided health care starting in January. What is Medicaid expansion? The 2010 federal health care law has a two-part strategy to ensure nearly all Americans have health insurance. One is Medicaid expansion, which was designed to cover the neediest uninsured people but became optional for states because of a Supreme Court decision last year. Medicaid already covers 1.9 million, or one in five, Michigan residents — mainly low-income children, pregnant women, the disabled and some poorer working adults. The debate is whether to cover nearly a half-million more adults making up to 133 percent of the poverty level, or $15,500 for an individual. Why like it? provisions were added to make recipients pay some of their medical expenses, incentivize them to be healthier and give Michigan escape hatches if Washington changes terms of the expansion. But many Senate Republicans oppose it. They have a philosophical problem with expanding government. Conservative groups and grassroots activists are suspicious of contentions that Medicaid expansion will save money and say the program is broken. Blocking the expansion also is a way to thwart “Obamacare.” Republican Gov. Rick Snyder is lobbying for the expansion along with the medical and insurance industries, Democrats, some GOP lawmakers and advocates for the poor. Snyder says those who would be covered now use the emergency room for medical care — which he says is unacceptable, expensive and leads to higher premiums for businesses and individuals with private insurance. Reducing those ER visits by giving people an insurance card to go to the doctor will save money, according to proponents. The expansion is fully financed by the federal government for the first three years and phases down gradually to a 90 percent federal share. The state would save money initially but owe later on. Cumulative costs would exceed savings in 15 years, according to the nonpartisan Senate Fiscal Agency. Twenty-three states, including six led by GOP governors, and the District of Columbia have decided to accept the expansion. But nearly two-thirds of low-income Americans newly eligible for Medicaid live in states that are refusing the expansion or are still undecided. Snyder, like Republican Gov. John Kasich in Ohio, is trying to persuade a GOP-controlled Legislature to go along. Why hate it? Why now? Nearly half of the Republicans in the GOP-led House voted to expand Medicaid in June once There’s no deadline for states to decide. But if a state is going to accept the expansion, it makes sense What are other states doing? to do it now because it’s paid for entirely by the U.S. government in 2014, 2015 and 2016. States can drop out later if they want. It may already be too late for Michigan to start covering more enrollees on Jan. 1. The legislation pending in the Senate would need approval from the Obama administration, which could take months. Will it pass? Snyder spent the summer traveling to GOP senators’ districts to push publicly for Medicaid expansion, and pro-expansion allies paid for billboards calling on Republican senators by name to support the expansion. But in the end, a lot depends on one senator: Majority Leader Randy Richardville. The Monroe Republican supports the expansion but decided against calling a vote in June despite a request from Snyder. The governor said enough Republicans would have joined 12 Democrats to pass the bill. Richardville said he wanted at least half the 26-member Republican caucus to support the bill or at least be OK proceeding to a vote and later said he saved the legis- lation from going down in defeat. As promised, Richardville took time to name a workgroup and hold hearings on the Housepassed legislation that resulted in changes to the bill. Though it doesn’t appear that Snyder has picked up more support — some Republicans thought to be on the fence now seem firmly opposed — his aides remain confident they have eight Republicans votes to get the 20 needed. If only seven Republicans support the bill, then Lt. Gov. Brian Calley could break the 19-19 tie. Asked recently if he will drop his preference that more Republicans be receptive to having an up-or-down vote, Richardville said: “If I believe it’s the right thing to do, I’ll do that.” One factor causing unease among proponents of the expansion: Richardville’s committee also sent to the floor two conservative alternatives designed to cover the uninsured without expanding Medicaid. The Snyder administration questions the cost of the proposals and has concerns with the quality of health benefits that would be offered. No copays, easier pills may reduce blood pressure Players’ brain Lindsey Tanner AP Medical Writer CHICAGO — New research suggests giving patients easierto-take medicine and no-copay medical visits can help drive down high blood pressure, a major contributor to poor health and untimely deaths nationwide. Those efforts were part of a big health care provider’s eight-year program, involving more than 300,000 patients with high blood pressure. At the beginning, less than half had brought their blood pressure under control. That increased to a remarkable 80 percent, well above the national average, the researchers said. The research involved Kaiser Permanente in Northern California, a network of 21 hospitals and 73 doctors’ offices, which makes coordinating treatment easier than in independent physicians’ offices. The number of heart attacks and strokes among Northern California members fell substantially during roughly the same time as the 2001-09 study. Dr. Marc Jaffe, the lead author and leader of a Kaiser heart disease risk reduction program, said it’s impossible to know if the blood pressure program can be credited for those declines, but he thinks it at least contributed. Reductions continued even after the study ended; in 2011, 87 percent of roughly 350,000 Kaiser patients had recommended blood pressure levels. T he study was published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. METRO New research suggests giving patients easier-to-take medicine and no-copay medical visits can help drive down high blood pressure, a major contributor to poor health and untimely deaths nationwide. “What’s unique about this is the sheer scale of what they’ve done,” said Dr. Goutham Rao, a family medicine specialist at NorthShore University HealthSystem, a group of four hospitals in Chicago’s northern suburbs. Rao is involved in research on reducing obesity and other risks for heart disease. “If we were able to keep everyone’s blood pressure under control in the United States, the number of new strokes and heart attacks would go down just exponentially,” he said. High blood pressure affects 1 in 3 U.S. adults, or 67 million people, and the condition caused or contributed to more than 348,000 deaths in 2009, ac- cording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Normal blood pressure is considered a reading of less than 120 over 80; high blood pressure is 140 over 90 or higher. High blood pressure typically causes no symptoms, at least initially, and can sometimes be managed with a healthy lifestyle, including physical activity plus avoiding salty foods, heavy drinking and excess weight. But two or more prescription drugs are often needed to bring high blood pressure under control. In 2001, the Kaiser group introduced a system-wide program involving its 1,800 primary care doctors to tackle the problem. It created a registry of adult members with high blood pressure, based on medical records. At the start, about 44 percent of 235,000 registry patients had their blood pressure under control. The registry grew and by 2009, the portion under control reached 80 percent of 353,000 patients. That compares to 64 percent of people with blood pressure problems nationwide. Two features likely played a big role in the program’s success: In 2005, the region started using a single generic pill combining two common blood pressure drugs, lisinopril and a diuretic. The pill is less expensive than taking the two medicines separately, and easier to use. And in 2007, the prog ram began offering free follow-up visits with medical assistants, rather than doctors, checking blood pressure readings. Besides charging no insurance copayment, these brief visits were available at more flexible times, increasing chances that patients would stick with the program. “Patients really liked it because it was shorter, more convenient and more affordable,” Jaffe said. He did not provide information on patients’ costs or overall program costs and said that wasn’t part of the study. Donna Ar nett, immediate past president of the American Heart Association, said “it’s well documented that compliance to medication increases” when it’s simpler to take. She said the results suggest that other large medical systems could adopt similar programs and achieve similar success. study finds 2 main symptom patterns CHICAGO (AP) — Early signs of a destructive brain disease linked with head blows might include mood changes in younger athletes and mental decline at older ages, a small study of deceased former players suggests. The researchers think the disease could involve two distinct patterns of symptoms, although the study doesn’t prove that the behavior reported by families was caused by the brain disease, which was found after the athletes died. The study is the largest report on a series of cases involving autopsy-confirmed chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, said lead author Robert Stern, a neurology professor at Boston University’s medical school. It involved 36 former athletes — mostly professional football players — who’d experienced repeated head blows. The results were published online Wednesday in the journal Neurology. Results were based on brain imaging after death, medical records and family interviews. Players involved were all men, aged 17 to 98. Six died from suicide. In younger players, mood and behavior changes, including depression and explosive tempers, began appearing at an average age of 35, long before mental decline. But in older players, mental decline, starting around age 59, was the first symptom. Vulnerable desert tortoise faces threat from its own refuge LAS VEGAS (AP) — For decades, the vulnerable desert tortoise has led a sheltered existence. Developers have taken pains to keep the animal safe. It’s been protected from meddlesome hikers by the threat of prison time. And wildlife officials have set the species up on a sprawling conservation reserve outside Las Vegas. But the pampered desert dweller now faces a threat from the very people who have nurtured it. Federal funds are running out at the Desert Tortoise Conservation Center and officials plan to close the site and euthanize hundreds of the tortoises they’ve been WIKIMEDIA COMMONS caring for since the animals were added to the endangered species list in 1990. “It’s the lesser of two evils, but it’s still evil,” said U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service desert tortoise recovery coordinator Roy Averill- Murray during a visit to the soonto-be-shuttered reserve at the southern edge of the Las Vegas Valley last week. Biologists went about their work examining tortoises for signs of disease as Averill-Murray walked among the reptile pens. But the scrubby 220-acre refuge area will stop taking new animals in the coming months. Most that arrive in the fall will simply be put down, late-emerging victims of budget problems that came from the same housing bubble that put a neighborhood of McMansions at the edge of the once-remote site. The Bureau of Land Manage- ment has paid for the holding and research facility with fees imposed on developers who disturb tortoise habitat on public land. As the housing boom swept through southern Nevada in the 2000s, the tortoise budget swelled. But when the recession hit, the housing market contracted, and the bureau and its local government partners began struggling to meet the center’s $1 million annual budget. Housing never fully recovered, and the federal mitigation fee that developers pay has brought in just $290,000 during the past 11 months. Local partners, which collect their own tortoise fees, have pulled out of the project. “With the money going down and more and more tortoises coming in, it never would have added up,” said BLM spokeswoman Hillerie Patton. Back at the conservation center, a large refrigerator labeled “carcass freezer” hummed in the desert sun as scientists examined the facility’s 1,400 inhabitants to find those hearty enough to release into the wild. Officials expect to euthanize more than half the animals in the coming months in preparation for closure at the end of 2014.

Paid Advertisement Custom Balls for Recreational Players Add Distance and Reduce Slicing up to 75% John Daly Touts Polara's Effectiveness By Leonard Finkel Golf is a difficult game. Golfers want to hit the ball as hard as they can to maximize distance, but fight a slice when they do. Hitting the ball longer AND straighter means fewer lost balls to replace, less time searching for wayward drives and above all, greater enjoyment from shooting lower scores! Tour pros get help the average golfer doesn't. Golfweek (4/26) revealed that golf ball manufacturers customize dimple patterns to provide specific flight characteristics for PGA Tour pros. Shouldn't those benefits be available to everyone? Polara Golf accomplishes that goal with its XD ball, delivering extra distance while correcting slices by up to 50% with its unique, asymmetrical dimple pattern. PGA Tour legend John Daly proclaims, "Polara Golf has created terrific products for recreational golfers that allow them to Grip It and Rip It, get more distance, be more consistently in the fairway and have a lot more fun on the golf course!" With the Polara ball, you too can Grip It and Rip It like John Daly without fearing that nasty slice! For those needing extra correction, the Polara Ultimate Straight reduces slices up to 75%. "Everyone loves to hit their low loft driver. But if you have a bad slice, using a 3-wood or at least 12° loft on your driver lets you hit the Ultimate Straight ball much farther and much, much straighter," Daly points out. “Try both balls to see which one works better for you. With either ball, you’ll certainly experience the anti-slice effect.” Golf Tips Magazine stated, “If you’re a recreational golfer who tends to find the rough more than the fairway, your fast track to straighter shots has arrived. It’s a golf ball that flies straight, even when you put a slice swing on it.” Daly concludes, "I've had my own issues with wild shots in the past and Polara balls would have corrected them all. Polara balls are the perfect solution for any golfer who wants more distance but struggles with a slice." Order 6-ball trial pack for as low as $7.95 each www.BuyPolara.com or call (800) 274-8673 PN-00386314 Robotic Testing Validates Claims Polara went to Golf Labs to validate its ball’s performance, with eye-opening results. During robotic testing, a significant slice was induced. On average, Polara reduced the slice by up to 75% over traditional balls including premium brands. Independent test manager Richard Levine, PhD, reported, “The Golf Labs’ robot was set up to simulate a 90 foot slice based on launch conditions of an average golfer. With the Polara Ultimate Straight ball we found that compared to several popular golf balls, which all sliced about 90 feet, the Polara ball corrected up to 70 feet of the 90 foot slice.” Garnering National Acclaim Bill Pennington (New York Times) wrote, “The design of the (Polara) ball corrects slices and hooks by 75 percent. When I took the ball to a New Jersey driving range, regular golfers and the occasional pro could not slice or hook the ball with any regularity.” Veteran journalist Ron Claiborne (ABC News, Good Morning America) reported, “I carefully teed up a Polara ball, arrow on top, as instructed. I reared back and let it rip. The ball soared high into the sky, arched and landed on the fairway about 250 yards away. It had flown straight and true from tee to landing. I was in shock. No slice! I hit another Polara. The same thing. And another. I simply could not hit a bad shot. It was a miracle.” Polara balls are designed for the vast majority of golfers: recreational players who want to take advantage of technology improvements and have more fun. “We’re not trying to remove skill from the game,” said Polara’s David Felker. “We’re just trying to remove the frustration.” With Polara balls, hit longer, straighter shots and have more fun - guaranteed or your money back. For a limited time Polara is offering 6-ball trial packs for as low as $7.95 each (free S&H, continental US only). Polara balls are available at stores nationwide, but this specially priced offer is only available at www.BuyPolara.com or call (800) 274-8673.
