SS EDMUND FITZGERALD | CHRISTENED JUNE 8, 1958 | LOST NOV. 10, 1975
Mighty legacy
o years ago, on Nov. 10, 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank
orty
w all hands in Lake Superior during a hurricane-force gale.
with
It was not the only major

iron ore carrier to sink
during the latter half of
the 20th century. In 1958,
the 639-foot Carl D. Bradley sank
in Lake Michigan during a Nov. 18
storm. Two men survived, 33 died.
The 580-foot Daniel J. Morrell
sank in Lake Huron during a
Nov. 29 storm in 1966. One man out
of 29, Dennis Hale, a watchman,
survived the wreck.
The Morrell, the Bradley
and another ship, the Henry
Steinbrenner, which sank May 11,
1953, in Lake Superior south of
Isle Royale, are tragic modern-era
wrecks that devastated families and
added to the 30,000-some sailors
who have died on the Great Lakes.
OPINION
Fewer grads are

college-bound
The number of high school

graduates who attended college
within six months of graduating
is down from the year before.
Of the Michigan Class of
2014, fewer students attended
community colleges while the
numbers for four-year schools
held steady.
State data shows disparity
among students based on race,
socioeconomic background and
gender. Details, D1
Nobody wrote a hit song about

those shipwrecks, though.
They just werent The Mighty
Fitz a favorite of boat watchers
and mariners alike. Home-ported in
Wisconsin, the 729-foot laker was
a Michigan ship in many respects,
built in River Rouge and steaming round-trips between Superior,
Wisconsin, and Detroits Zug Island
mill.
Author and historian Fred
Stonehouse notes that books, videos, souvenirs and even Christmas
cards keep the Fitzs legend alive.
The Fitzgerald, he says, has
become part of the lore of the lakes.
MLives Garret Ellison delves
into that lore on the Michigan
Page, A11.

recovered after
the sinking.

A little more than a week

after it was refurbished with
expensive playground equipment for young and disabled
children, vandals wreaked
havoc on a West Side Bay
City park. Now, questions are
being raised about the level of
security measures that might
be necessary at the citys playgrounds.
Nate Doan Park, surrounded
by East South Union, North
Dewitt, East Ohio and North
Dean streets, was the site of a
ribbon-cutting ceremony
Oct. 11 to celebrate the culmination of a restoration effort
by the Bay-Arenac Great Start
Collaborative, a coalition of
local agencies and parents
focused on young childrens
development.
The coalition oversaw the
reshaping of the north section
of the park, removal of old
playground equipment and
the installation of new gear for
children who are disabled or
5 and younger.
The north-side playground
was renovated with a handicapped-accessible swing, a
new slide, enclosed-seat spring
toys, a teeter-totter and two
interactive, electronic musical panels. The playground
also was made accessible via
a wheelchair ramp and the
musical panels were placed at
wheelchair height.
Come Oct. 20, though,
Bay City Parks Department
officials discovered the playground had been targeted by
vandals, according to Parks
Manager Darwin Baranski.
Both of those (musical
panels) were pried open, the
batteries were stolen and the
wiring was cut, Baranski

was torn down earlier this

year after the city cited
liability and environmental
issues with the structure.
In the wake of its demolition, a committee formed
with the goal to build a
new Imagination Station.
Eileen Curtiss, president
and CEO of the Bay Area
Community Foundation,
said she sympathizes with
the misgivings this sort of
criminality can generate.
I understand the group
that worked on Nate Doan
Park worked very hard to
raise the money and fix the
park, Curtiss said. When

their value is to destroy
and not appreciate, thats a
struggle.

down to instilling pride in

our community from an
early age, she said. What
we find, too, is if we involve
some of these folks in
building it, they take more
pride in it and dont want
to see others destroy it.
Matt VanNortwick, a
member of a volunteer
steering committee in
charge of Imagination
Stations future, said the
incident at Nate Doan Park
is not going to deter his
groups plans.
As a committee, it might
come up in discussion,
VanNortwick said. I dont
think it will impact our
ability to move forward. It
might bring up some good
food for thought in our
planning stages.
He added the committee
has had discussions on the
equipment theyd like to
see at Imagination Station
II. The community and
school kids will be polled,
he said.
As for whether or not
Imagination Station II will
have security cameras
installed, VanNortwick
isnt sure.
We havent gotten that
far, but it will probably at
least be in discussion, he
said. It might be an option,
but I dont know what the
costs would entail or the
liability. If its not been
discussed before, it will at
least come up in discussion
now with this happening.

NEWS HAIKUS
Do you feel it, readers? Big changes are taking
place down at Haiku Central. Wait, that should
read more like this: BIG CHANGES! There,
thats what it deserves.
What could be generating so much excitement
among the haiku elves, you ask? Why, look right
there at the end of this feature. See it? News
Haikus now has its very own email address! Can
you believe it?
But enough about us at Haiku Central and our
outsized excitement over an email address. Lets
get to your submissions this week.
This first one, by Edie Hoekstra, of Kentwood,
came in late last week, hence the reference to
October:
October is done
Christmas countdown has begun
Who has time for thanks?
Say what you will, tis the season for haikus,
apparently. This one comes from Deborah Keller,
of Thomas Township, which is over by Saginaw,
for those who dont know:
Put the garden to bed

It was lovelyy all summer
Now winter can come
Confirming the seasonal tie, heres a submission by Kathy Boulter, of Flushing:
Autumn departs soon

Ushering in winter cold
And snowstorms galore.
Dont consider that depressing, folks. Haiku

just tells it like it is.
Next up is an entry from our youngest haiku
poet yet, 9-year-old Vivian Lundskow, of East
Grand Rapids, who caught the haiku bug from
her grandma, Betty Beck, a frequent contributor
to this feature. Heres Vivians offering:
Raining outside now.

Time is changing all around.
Veterans Day soon!
Timely, no? Way to go, Vivian.
Finally, were running this next haiku again,
because it comes with a genuine Paul Harvey
rest of the story. Or is it the rest of the haiku?
Hoping for a drone

to bring Texas grapefruit
right to my front door.
Marge Friar, of Grand Rapids, wrote that
based on a story about Michigan fruit growers
working with engineering students to develop
useful drones. Well, heres that rest of the story:
You printed my haiku about hoping for a
drone to bring a Texas grapefruit right to my
front door ... well ... this morning, I found one
grapefruit on a chair on my front porch. I still
havent figured out who the clever joker is!!!
Maybe it was a haiku elf?
Haiku is a poetic form of three lines
with five, seven and five syllables.

WHO I AM
Bye week
purging
Answer to Who Am I?
from A3.
Martin Mayhew, general
manager of the Detroit Lions
and a member of the NFL
franchises front office since
2001, was not the only team
official to get the ax.
Mayhew was joined on the
unemployment line by team
president Tom Lewand.
Mayhew joined the Lions
front office in 2001, first
serving as the senior director of football administration and general counsel
under Matt Millen. Mayhew
eventually was promoted to
general manager, replacing
Millen in December 2008.
When Mayhew and
Lewand were promoted,
the team was in the midst of
the only 0-16 season in NFL
history.
Within three seasons,
armed with the additions
of quarterback Matthew
Stafford and defensive tackle
Ndamukong Suh, the Lions
made it to their first playoff
berth in 12 years at the end
of the 2011 season.
But the Lions quickly
slipped back to mediocrity
after a passive approach to
the 2012 offseason, something Mayhew later admitted he regretted.
This year, the Lions have
slipped to the worst record
in the league at the midpoint
of the 2015 season.

BAY CITY
Dedication of memorial highlights Veterans Day events
udy Brunner said she

couldnt be happier with
the improvements made
recently at the war memorial
located along the Saginaw River
in Bay Citys Veterans Memorial
Park.
Brunner, the wife of state Rep.
Charles Brunner, D-Bay City, led
an effort this year to spruce up
the memorial, which includes
the Project Freedom Walk
monuments, with new plantings, including flowering crab
apple trees, goldmound spirea,
Rozanne geraniums, nepeta or
catmint and gro-low sumac.
That memorial didnt have a
lot of color before, she said. The
way we designed it, there should
be a lot of color all year round
now, especially in spring when
things are in bloom.
Brunners group, which
included members from the
Bay County Veterans Council,
Vietnam Veterans Monument
Committee and the city of Bay
City, secured $18,000 through
the Dow Corning Foundation,
Kantzler Foundation and Smith
Foundation to pay for the
upgrades.
They contracted with Bay
Landscaping Inc. to complete the
project.
Its quite an improvement,
Brunner said.

must be believed in, he said.
They are a direct statement of
the incarnation of God becoming
one of us in the person of Jesus
Christ. This represents God, taking on our face.
The three domes, which cost
the church about $10,000, were
strategically placed to have symbolic meaning, Hannes said.
The large dome over the

of the churchs mother parish,

The smaller dome on the

dedicated to the members of the

the smallest dome represents
welcome, mercy and hospitality, reminding those entering the
church to be mindful of renewing ourselves in the great and

Hannes said.

ELECTION 2015
Bay City sees 14.8 percent voter turnout; ocials want even-year elections
adodson@mlive.com
BAY CITY, MI Voter

turnout in Bay City on
Election Day was 14.8 percent, a number election
officials and candidates
are calling low and disappointing.
There were four contested City Commission
races in Wards 2, 4, 6
and 8 and a contested
mayoral race. Voter turnout was the highest in Bay
Citys 2nd Ward, where
21 percent of voters cast
ballots. Here is a breakdown by ward:
1st Ward 357 ballots
cast of 2,490 registered
voters; 14.34 percent.
2nd Ward 525 ballots cast of 2,500 registered voters; 21 percent.
3rd Ward 261 ballots cast of 2,408 registered voters; 10.84 percent.
4th Ward 320 ballots cast of 2,583 registered voters; 12.39 percent.
We normally have low
numbers in odd-year city
elections, Bay County
Clerk Cynthia Luczak said.
So, this wasnt too surprising.
Here is a ward by ward
breakdown of the city
races:
Across three municipalities in Bay County where
there were elections, there
were 4,175 ballots cast,
for a total voter turnout
of 16.28 percent. Of those
who voted, 2,608 cast their
ballot Tuesday; 1,567 sent
in an absentee ballot.
In Essexville, where
residents approved a
2.69-mill proposal to fund
a $7 million water line
project and determined
a city council race, there
were 729 ballots cast
out of 2,658 registered
voters, for a total voter
turnout of 27 percent.
Joshua Biggs, who was

defeated by John Davidson
in Bay Citys 6th Ward
for a seat on the City
Commission, said its very
disappointing to see a terrible voter turnout.
As a veteran, I fought
for this country and fought
to protect everyones constitutional rights, and one
of their rights is to vote,
Biggs said. Almost nine
out of 10 people didnt go
out and vote, and they
will probably be the ones
screaming the loudest
when they dont like something. Theyve negated
their voice by not voting,
and it makes absolutely no
sense to me.
One of the main reasons for the low turnout,
according to Luczak, is
because city elections take
place in odd-numbered
years, when there are no

major state or national
races on the ballot.
Last years election,
which included state
House and Senate races,
saw 47 percent voter turnout in Bay County. In 2013,
when there were four City
Commission races, voter
turnout was 12.5 percent.
Bay City elections are
required to take place in
odd years, according to
the city charter, but that
could change as early as
2017, Deputy City Manager
Dana Muscott said.
I think it would be a
fantastic idea to move the
elections to an even year,
she said. One, it saves
money, and two, you get a
bigger voter turnout.
The citys charter can
be reviewed only 20 years
from the last revision. The
last time it was reviewed

was in 1997, which means
it could open for review in
2017.
To open it, however,
an election needs to take
place in 2016 to approve
a review and to elect a
Charter Commission.
Muscott estimates
this years election cost
between $10,000 and
$15,000. If it was held in
an even year election, she
said the cost would be
more than cut in half.
Pinconning and Auburn
have changed their local
elections to even years,
and the state is encouraging more municipalities to
follow suit, Luczak said.
At the time of opening the charter, the
Charter Commission
also could evaluate the
number of wards and City

BAY CITY
State Rep. Brunner to host

town hall on addiction, abuse
cwaterma@mlive.com
As Bay County continues

to endure a heroin epidemic, state Rep. Charles
M. Brunner, D-Bay City, is
hosting a town hall seminar on opioid abuse.
The event is 6-7:30 p.m.
Monday at the Alice and
Jack Wirt Public Library,
500 Center Ave. in downtown Bay
City. The
panel of
speakers is
to include
Bay County
District
Judge
Timothy
Brunner
J. Kelly,
Bay County Undersheriff
Troy Cunningham, Bay
City Public Safety Officer
Chad Warren and Dr.
Rita M. Sierakowski,
executive director of Bay
Psychological Associates.
Its a problem thats
been brought to my attention, and Ive really taken
notice, Brunner said. It
seems almost daily theres
an article about this epidemic in our community.
I spoke to a (Bay City) restaurant owner recently ...
and he said, Charlie, we
have a problem. Being as
concerned about Bay City
as I am, Im in a position to
try to do something, and
education is a big piece of
everything. People need
to know first of all that
we have this problem and
then, what can we do about

it?
The Bay County Health
Department in June issued
a public health advisory
regarding the countys
heroin epidemic.
It continues like it
continues throughout the
nation, said Joel Strasz,
Health Department director.
When Straszs agency
issued the advisory, 125
people since January had
reported for emergency
room services due to drug
overdoses. He did not have
updated figures but said he
still stands by the epidemic
advisory. He said his agency
is more routinely requesting toxicology testing on
deaths that might be the
result of overdoses.
Police have theorized
the uptick in heroin use
arose as a result of people
cultivating an addiction
to prescription painkiller
OxyContin, an opiate. The
theory goes that addicts
gravitated to heroin once
OxyContin manufactures
made the OxyContin
pills more difficult to
break down into a form
that could be snorted or
injected.
A heroin addict interviewed by The Times
in July agreed with the
theory and added heroin is
cheaper on the street than
OxyContin pills.

A Bangor Township

remarkably having survived a pellet through his
abdomen.

good, said Katie
Schweppe of her familys 6-year-old domestic
long-haired named Mr.
Wigglesworth or Wigs.
I dont want to get too

Wigs snuck out of
the house Oct. 28 as
Schweppe left for work.
When she returned about
4 p.m., he was dripping

Schweppe and her

cat to Great Lakes Pet

Carrollton Township,
where staff determined
a pellet had entered
through his hind leg area
and proceeded through
his body before winding
up in his chest.
In the process, it tore
through Wigs spleen,
intestines, liver, diaphragm, grazed his
stomach and fractured
several ribs. Attending
veterinarian Dr. Matthew
Bullock had to remove
Wigs spleen.
Wigs was transferred
to VetMED Veterinary
Hospital, 202 N. Walnut

prognosis was guarded
because of the massive
trauma he endured.

CHESANING
Historic home had

rst bathtub in area
By Heather Jordan

The historic home

for sale at 320 N. Front
in Chesaning combines
character and history
with modern-day amenities.
The Italianate-style
home was completed in
1865 for lumber baron
Robert H. Nason and his
wife, Susan ODell. The
Nasons owned it for
73 years.
It sits behind a white
picket fence at the end of
Front Street on nearly
5 acres with mature trees
and Shiawassee River
frontage.
The mansion boasts
3,729 square feet, four
bedrooms and four full
bathrooms, including a
second-floor master suite
and a maids quarters
suite, 12-foot ceilings on
the main floor, a parlor,
a formal dining room,
third-floor storage space,
an above-ground pool
and a deck with a pergola
covered in grape vines.
A spiral staircase
winds from the first floor
up to the top-floor cupola,
which offers a 360-degree
view of the estate.
There are six ornate
fireplaces made of
marble and carved oak,
stained glass windows,
impressive baseboards
and crown molding and
ceiling medallions above
the chandeliers.
Its listed at $369,000
and has been on the market for about two months.
Realtor Monique
Gilbert, of Berkshire
Hathaway HomeServices,
said she has received
inquiries from prospective buyers as far away as
Scotland.
Interest from all over,
Gilbert said. Its the kind
of place that takes a specific person, somebody
whos interested in historic homes.
Although parts of the
home have been modernized, including the
kitchen and bathrooms,
Local school districts

might decide to start
before Labor Day under
Senate legislation which
has met heavy opposition from the states
tourism industry.
State Sen. Marty
Knollenberg, R-Troy,
introduced Senate Bill
567 earlier this month
after talking with local
superintendents. The
private schools in his district start before Labor
Day, he said, and public
school kids involved in
activities such as music
or sports are participating in activities before
the start date.
School functions are
starting the early part
of August, so theyre
already engaged in the
school process before
Labor Day, Knollenberg
said.
SHORTER BREAK,
BETTER PERFORMANCE
The four-bedroom mansion, which was completed in

1865, features four full bathrooms. A picture of the
home in 1870, seen here, hangs in a frame in the living
room. (Jeff Schrier/MLive.com)
The states public

schools have started
after Labor Day under a
state law that went into
effect with the 200607 school year. Since
then, educators, including those from West
Michigan and Jackson,
have voiced concerns
about the late start date.
Knollenberg likened
it to training for a marathon: Would you want a
big break between runs
while youre training?
He said kids perform
better without long
breaks.
Thats the philosophy
behind several Michigan
schools experimenting
with year-round school
with balanced calendars.
TOURISM WORRIES
heating and air conditioning, and a new roof

in 2011, much of its historical integrity has been
preserved.
Original light fixtures,
pine doors with handpainted wood grain
and an antique bathtub
remain. Some of the wallpaper dates to approximately the turn of the
20th century.
This home had the
first bathtub of any home
in Chesaning, Gilbert
said. A piece of history.
The homes present
owners, Bill and Pat Boyd,
bought it in 2000. Bill
Boyd said the frame of
the house is held together
by wooden pegs.
The construction
is called balloon construction because the
framework is put up and
everythings attached
While some parts of the house have been modernized

with a fully functional kitchen and other features,
original light xtures remain. (Jeff Schrier/MLive.com)
to it around that basic

framework. And these
four posts are the basic
framework, he said.
A black-and-white
photo taken of the home
in 1870 hangs in a frame
in the living room.
Many people lived in it
over the years, from what
I know, Bill Boyd said.
It used to be a huge farm
here.
And, years ago, some
of the rooms were rented
out to war brides, he
said.
Gilbert describes the
estate today as peaceful.
The lot is so gorgeous, she said. You
have the river, you have a
little bit of hill, you have
the trees and this big,
majestic home.
Bill Boyd agreed.
My wife refers to it as
living in a park, he said.
But the bill to let

school start before
Labor Day is meeting
opposition from the
Michigan Lodging and
Tourism Association.
The groups President
and CEO, Steve Yencich,
said tourism is the
states third-largest
industry and families
typically vacation in July
and August.
Those are the two
highest revenue-generating months for the entire
industry, Yencich said.
Take away August and
the industry declines, he
said. That would negatively affect the states
economy.
Its kind of like manufacturing and agriculture, the top two biggest
industries ... As goes
agriculture, manufacturing and tourism, so goes
the states economy,
Yencich said.
Knollenberg said the
bill would allow local
educators to decide
whats best for kids, and
families still could vacation on weekends.
Similar efforts have
emerged periodically in
the decade since the law
changed. But this bill has
the advantage of being
bipartisan; Sen. David
Knezek, D-Dearborn
Heights, is a cosponsor.
The bill was referred to
the five-member Senate
Education Committee.
Knollenberg said hed
work to build support
for the bill while the
committee tackled more
pressing issues, such as
Detroit Public Schools
and third grade reading.
His goal is to see movement before Labor Day
2016.

GUETTLER ORTENBURGER
The last of the Guettler Girls
passed away from natural
causes on September 13, four
days shy of her 94th Birthday.
Harriet (shown at left) joins sisters Loretta, Hazel and Lillian,
and younger brother, Raymond, all children of George
and Emma Guettler. Harriet
was called The Prettiest Girl at
Handy High, with her siblings
known as The Fun Bunch
they laughed the loudest,
danced the liveliest and sang
the lousiest whenever comedian Sharkey appeared at a
Club near the Bay.
Harriet was widowed at nineteen with an infant daughter
when husband Army Air Corp
pilot Edward Ortenburger was
killed in a military plane crash.
Her second husband, Leonard
Suppes was an entrepreneur
who built houses and owned
a landscaping business in Bay
City before moving the family to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida,
opening four stores near the
beach, where the boys are.
Harriet worked alongside him
until she turned to volunteer
work at Broward General Hospital. They came back to Bay
City to celebrate their 50th
wedding anniversary with
family and friends, and were
married for 67 years before
Leonard passed away. Harriets survivors are daughters
Elizabeth Cowden and Melody Suppes, and first cousins
Grace Zielinski, June Williams,
and Val Korman.
Therefore, who can find a virtuous woman? Her price is far
above rubies.

Big items
on GOP
agenda
he Legislature finally
got a roads deal done,
which could clear the
deck for other big action if
Republicans arent too worn
out from putting up tough
votes that could come back to
bite them in future elections.
TOUGH VOTE FATIGUE
The next big item on Gov.

Rick Snyders agenda is a plan
to save Detroit Public Schools
by providing financial assistance to help the district crawl
out from under a mountain of
debt.
Bills have not been introduced yet, but theres already
been some pushback in the
Legislature, where a push to
overhaul Michigan energy policy may also prove a heavy lift.
Theres probably some
truth to fatigue of taking on difficult issues, but people didnt
send us here to do nothing,
said Senate Majority Leader
Arlan Meekhof, R-West Olive.
They sent us here to fix stuff,
and we intend to do that.
BUYERS REMORSE
State Rep. Ray Franz, who

voted for a bill to raise fuel
taxes and tie future rates to
inflation, sounded highly conflicted about the vote the next
day.
I lost a piece of my soul
last night because I betrayed
my values, my principles and
myself, Franz, R-Onekama,
said in a statement published
by MIRS. I hope it was worth
it to those who wanted this
package so badly.
Franz told the news service
he was particularly concerned
about tying tax rates to inflation but lost that argument
with my colleagues and I could
not in good conscience be the
lone obstacle to addressing the
road package as a whole.
MOVIN ON
The governors longtime

press secretary, Sara Wurfel, is
moving on. Snyder announced
that Wurfel is heading to the
private sector to work for the
Truscott Rossman public relations firm in Lansing.
Sara has boundless energy,
talent and a passion for helping the people of our state,
Snyder said in a statement,
praising her extraordinary
leadership as the administration worked on issues such as
Detroit finances, the DetroitWindsor bridge and the
Healthy Michigan plan.
Dave Murray, who has
served as deputy press secretary since 2013, will become
the governors lead spokesman. He previously worked
as a reporter for MLive, the
Grand Rapids Press and the
Flint Journal.

WE ARE HOLDING OUR OWN
Although legend is what thrives, the reality is no less compelling.

On Nov. 9, 1975, the 729-foot Edmund
Fitzgerald left Superior, Wisconsin, with a
load of taconite pellets (iron ore) downbound
for the Zug Island steel mill in Detroit.
The ship, captained by veteran skipper
Ernest McSorley, was joined by the freighter
Arthur M. Anderson a couple of hours into
the voyage. The two ships encountered
worsening seas as they steamed east along a
northern route across the lake. Battered by
60-mph sustained winds and 25-foot waves
during the final hours, the Fitzgerald vanished from radar around 7:15 p.m. Nov. 10.
Of the 29 men aboard, none survived. No
bodies were ever recovered. No distress
call was made. The Fitzgerald simply was
there one minute and gone the next. The last
words from Capt. McSorley were succinct:
We are holding our own.
But radio back-and-forth between
McSorley, Capt. Jesse Cooper, of the
Anderson, and other ships out that evening
indicate the doomed ship was struggling
mightily through, in McSorelys words, one
of the worst seas Ive ever been in. The
63-year-old captain was sailing blind, so to
speak, as both of the Fitzgeralds radars were
out, the Whitefish Point light and radio beacon were down, and the ship amazingly
had no depth-sounding technology in 1975.
The Anderson a now 63-year-old
freighter still in active service was relaying navigation instructions to the Fitzgerald,
which reported a broken fence railing, a bad
list and both pumps working against incoming seas in the hours before the end.
The ship had no watertight bulkheads
and was taking heavy seas across the deck.
Both the U.S. Coast Guard and National
Transportation Safety Board investigation
reports pinned the likely sinking cause on

hatch covers that went unnoticed by the

crew and captain.
There are other theories, ranging on the
credibility scale between UFO-related nonsense, defective construction and the very
possible grounding on a shoal the ship had
passed over earlier in the voyage.
At this point, given the depth and condition of the wreckage, the lack of witnesses
and a prohibition placed on diving the
wreck by the Canadian government at the
behest of lost crew families, the mystery is
unlikely to ever be solved.
Nobody is going to find the smoking gun,
Stonehouse said. It really is solely a historical oddity at this point.
A TANGIBLE LEGACY
For a ship to disappear with all hands

is very rare, said Adm. Jerry Achenbach,
superintendent at the Great Lakes Maritime
Academy in Traverse City.
The academy which had a cadet on the
Fitzgerald when it sank, David Weiss is
peppered with bits of Fitz memorabilia.
There are framed photos and drawings of
the ship on the walls, an autographed photo
of Gordon Lightfoot and a plaque honoring
Weiss. Every Nov. 10, the school holds a sol-

Students learn about the Fitzgerald in
courses on damage control and vessel construction. They are taught about the history
of Great Lakes maritime safety regulations,
many of which trace directly to the Fitzgerald
sinking. Mandatory depth finders, survival
suits, positioning systems, emergency beacons and higher freeboard requirements
were rules passed in the Fitzgeralds wake.
Captains now are, generally, more cautious in heavy weather, Stonehouse said.
If you talk to the guys driving the boats
today, they will tell you the Fitzgerald happened yesterday, he said. To them, its still
very alive and real.
In Achenbachs office at the academy, one
picture grabs the attention of almost every
person who enters the room. It is a photo of
Edmund Fitzgerald, namesake of the ship,
standing on the deck of the doomed laker.
Achenbachs predecessor, John Tanner,
who personally drove cadet David Weiss to
the Fitzgerald for his 1975 training assignment, left the photo upon retirement. Many
things in the office have changed, but the
photo remains.
Thats one thing Ive not touched,

SHARM EL-SHEIKH, EGYPT
Egyptian leader: Western nations

have not helped in war on terror
Egypts foreign minister complained Saturday that Western

governments had not sufficiently
helped Egypt in its war on terrorism and had not shared relevant
intelligence with Cairo regarding
the Russian airplane that crashed
last week in the Sinai, killing all 224
people onboard.
Sameh Shoukry, speaking
at a news conference, said that
European countries did not give us
the cooperation we are hoping for.
Egypts past calls for assistance
and coordination on terrorism
issues from the countries that are
now facing the danger had not been
dealt with seriously, he said.
Shoukry also complained that
Western nations that have suspended flights to Sharm el-Sheikh did
not share with Cairo the relevant
intelligence upon which they based
their decisions. U.S. and British officials have cited intelligence reports
as indicating that the Russian flight
from the Sinai resort town to St.
Petersburg was brought down on
Oct. 31 by a bomb on board.
Shoukry said Egypt expected
that the information available would
be communicated to us instead of
being broadcast in the media.
The foreign ministers comments
came as Egypt launched an investigation into the staff and ground
crew at the Sharm el-Sheikh airport,
according to Egyptian airport and
security officials.
The officials said Saturday that
authorities were questioning airport
staff and ground crew who worked
on the Russian flight and had placed
some employees under surveillance.
The officials all spoke on the condition of anonymity because they
were not authorized to speak to the
media.
The crash one week ago dealt
another blow to Egypts battered
tourism sector, which is yet to fully
recover from years of political turmoil. Russians comprise nearly
a third of all tourists who visited
Egypt in the past year.
Islamic State extremists have
claimed that they brought down the
Russian Metrojet flight, with mostly
Russian tourists onboard, though
they did not offer any proof.
Egyptian authorities have been
trying to whip up support for a
war on terror after the military
overthrow of Islamist President

Mohammed Morsi in 2013. A crackdown on Islamists and a series of
militant attacks on security buildings and checkpoints, mainly in the
restive Sinai Peninsula, have followed Morsis ouster with a Sinaibased affiliate of the Islamic State
group claiming responsibility for
some of the devastating attacks.
On Friday, Russia suspended
flights to Egypt, joining the UK,
which had banned all flights to
Sharm el-Sheikh. Ireland also had
suspended flights to the Red Sea
resort area, while at least a half-dozen Western European governments
told their citizens not to travel there.
Empty charter planes have been
flying to Sharm el-Sheikh to bring
home stranded Russian and British
tourists. But these flights banned
passengers from checking in luggage reflecting an apparent
concern about security and luggagescreening procedures at the airport.
Tourism chief Oleg Safonov said,
according to Russian news agencies,
that a revised count showed 80,000
Russians currently in Egypt
79,000 of them in the resort areas of
Hurgada and Sharm el-Sheikh.

UAW reaches deal with Ford; GM workers say yes with asterisk
The United Auto

Workers union reached a
tentative contract agreement with Ford on Friday,
the same day that General
Motors workers voted in
favor of a similar four-year
deal.
But official ratification of
the GM pact was delayed
because although it was
approved overall, skilled
trades workers such as
electricians and pipe fitters
rejected the deal.
The UAW said it reached
an agreement with Ford on
Friday morning. The con-
tract covers 53,000 workers at 22 U.S. plants.

No details were released,
but Fords agreement is
expected to be similar to
the contract with GM.
The union said Friday
night that 55.4 percent of
GM workers overall voted
in favor of the deal, including 58 percent of production workers. But almost
60 percent of skilled trades
workers voted no.
Union leaders must now
hold meetings with trades
workers over the next several days to find out why
they rejected the deal. The
union Executive Board will

meet to determine the next
step, the UAW said in a
statement.
The rejection by skilled
trades workers could lead
to changes in provisions
specifically aimed at those
workers. But it cannot
change parts of the agreement that are common to
all members, the union
statement said.
Like a previous contract
ratified by Fiat Chrysler
workers, GMs agreement
would eliminate a two-tier
wage system over eight
years.

Dying teen, school at odds

over possible resuscitation
An Alabama teen with a

terminal heart condition
has not returned to school
after a spate of hospitalizations because of what
his mother says is a dispute with school officials
about how he might die.
Alex Hoovers case
presents something of a
legal loophole: His mother, Rene, has drawn up
legal documents known
as an advance directive to
ensure the 14-year-old is
not revived if he goes into
cardiac arrest. But officials say they cant follow
that directive if his heart
stops at school.
Rene Hoover says she

PISTONS
Pistons are 4-1

Miss the Detroit Pistons 10092 win over the Phoenix Suns
on Friday? Heres a snapshot of
what happened:
Make it five in a row for the
Pistons center Andre
Drummond, who recorded
another double-double with 12
points and 17 rebounds. He was
5-of-9 shooting and grabbed 13
of his rebounds on the defensive end.
Reggie Jackson got off to a
slow start, to the tune of 1-of-7
shooting and two points in the
first half, but picked it up in the
second half and scored 21,
including 14 in the fourth quarter, and seven assists to help
the Pistons pull away.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
shot well again on the road, this
time 8 of 10 for 18 points. It
was the most points hes scored
since the season opener against
the Atlanta Hawks, in which he
scored 21 on 7-of-14 shooting.
More Pistons. B7

RED WINGS
Zetterberg reaches
milestone in OT win
The Detroit Red Wings have
gotten solid play in net this season, and that continued Friday
as Petr Mrazek made 32 saves
and Jakub Kindl scored at 2:17
of overtime in a 2-1 victory over
the Toronto Maple Leafs at Air
Canada Centre.
Henrik Zetterberg scored his
300th career goal in regulation
for Detroit. He is the fifth Red
Wing to have recorded 300
goals, 500 assists and 800
points, joining Gordie Howe,
Steve Yzerman, Alex Delvecchio
and Sergei Fedorov.
The Red Wings (7-5-1) won
their third game in a row, equaling their season-long streak
from the start of the season.
Red Wings forward Landon
Ferraro left after just two shifts
in the first period due to a lowerbody injury, the club said.
Ferraro appeared to get hurt in
a knee-on-knee hit with PA
Parenteau.

Wife, teammate
defend Staord
Amid reports by NFL
Networks Ian Rappoport that
fired Detroit Lions offensive
coordinator Joe Lombardi was
frustrated with quarterback
Matthew Staffords ability to
handle the offense, Staffords
wife, Kelly, took to Twitter to
defend him.
Heard that one of the coaches, who got fired, came after
Matthews intelligence, Kelly
Stafford wrote. That is seriously
comical. ... Come after the way
he plays all you want, but the
second you come after his intelligence is when you look far too
desperate.
Lions backup quarterback
Dan Orlovsky also defended his
teammate on Twitter.
Not going to sit back and let
whats being said be said,
Orlovsky wrote. Staff is highly
intelligent, and has an even better football mind.

Kyle Meinke
kmeinke@mlive.com
artin Mayhew said the

Detroit Lions could still
turn things around. Not in
a few years. Not next year. This
year.
But apparently Martha
Firestone Ford didnt see things
the same way, because six days
later Mayhew is out of a job. So
is team president Tom Lewand.
It was the kind of bloodletting
that longtime owner William
MATTHEW
STAFFORD,
QUARTERBACK
Contract: Signed a
three-year extension
in 2013 that runs
through the 2017
season, total value
$53 million. None of
the money is guaranteed beyond 2015.
Clay Ford was reticent to make,

despite the strident pleas of his
fanbase during the Matt Millen
years. But with the Lions 1-7, and
once again the laughingstock
of the league, Martha Firestone
Ford pulled the trigger her late
husband wouldnt.
She deserves credit for that.
But Mayhews ouster had
become inevitable in recent
days. As he said himself in
England, hes signed, extended
or drafted every player on this
roster. He hired the coach too,
along with Lewand.
So this dumpster fire is on
him more than anyone else, and
as long as the Lions didnt show
Millen-level loyalty to him, he
was a dead man walking.

The only real suspense in this
weeks moves, then, is what happens next. Specifically: Do the
Lions plan to clean house and
begin a fresh chapter in their
sordid history? Or will they do
what they did the last time they
fired a GM, and make a go of it
with a patchwork of holdovers
from the previous regime?
Most interestingly: What
happens to coach Jim Caldwell,
interim general manager
Sheldon White and quarterback
Matthew Stafford?
Detroit has fired five people in
the last 11 days, yet Caldwell,
SEE MEINKE, B4
Justin
Rogers
jrogers@mlive.com
Can we pump
the brakes
on dumping
Stafford talk?
he next Detroit Lions general

manager will decide quarterback Matthew Staffords
long-term future with the organization. And until that person is
hired, no amount of speculation
is going to alter that fact.
Shortly following Thursdays
dismissal of Martin Mayhew,
conversation turned to whats
next for the Lions organization.
First, who would be the
next general manager,
then to coach Jim
Caldwells standing
with the team, then
to the future of the
franchise quarterback.
National analysts
started throwing around
Staffords contract
figures, the fact that
hes owed no guaranteed
money beyond this year.
But the most damning
comments came from Ian
Rapoport of the NFL Network,
who reported former Detroit
offensive coordinator Joe
Lombardi had been frustrated
with Staffords inability to
grasp the full playbook and the
scheme needed to be simplified
by Lombardis replacement, Jim
Bob Cooter.
These were the reasons
Rapoport suggested could not
only lead to Staffords potential
departure from Detroit, but the
team would consider cutting the
quarterback after this season.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
How can Rapoport suggest

Versatility, and then some

Peppers amazes Michigan with
his mind, stamina and ability to
constantly change a game
By Nick Baumgardner
nbaumgardner@mlive.com
ANN ARBOR Musicians call it

playing by ear.
The ability to hear a song once
and, without seeing someone
demonstrate it or view the musical notes, repeat the same song on
an instrument from memory right
away.
Really good musicians can play
back a portion of the tune. Great
ones can get most all of it right
away. The best of the best can
repeat the whole thing, note for
note, in one shot.
Jabrill Peppers instrument,
according to Jim Harbaugh, is the
game of football.
You can tell him things once, he
can look at a piece of paper, and the
really good ones like that they can
visualize it, Michigans coach says
of his redshirt freshman defensive
back/returner/receiver/whatever
else. They can visualize themselves
doing it. They memorize it. Then
they go out on the field and they do it
just like they visualized it.
How many people are there like
that walking around in this world?
Couple thousand, maybe? Hes one
of them.
For instance, ask Peppers who
has now played nickel, corner,
safety, linebacker, running back,
quarterback, receiver, kick returner and punt returner for Michigan
this season how long it might
take him to learn how to kick a field
goal.
Thats not an ordinary skill,
right? It takes some kickers years
to mast ...
I can actually kick a field goal,
Peppers interrupts with a smile.
Oh. Of course you can.
Well how about punting.
Can you punt? What about long
snapping? Those arent ea ...
I can punt, Im not as good as
Blake (ONeill), but I can definitely
punt, Peppers grins. I can long
snap. Not the traditional way.
But I can make it look like the
traditional way. ... Ive been playing
football a very long time, and I just
try to be as well-rounded as possible.
It took Harbaugh and his staff
almost no time to realize the type
of athlete Peppers was when they
took the job this winter. At 6-foot-1,
205 pounds, Peppers elite combination of speed, athleticism and
strength allows him to make plays
others cant replicate.
But his mind, and his ability to
absorb, process and store information at almost an instant rate has
made him a true three-way player
with almost limitless responsibilities for the Wolverines this season.
High impact two-way players are
rare.
They can visualize themselves doing it. They

memorize it. Then they go out on the eld and they
do it just like they visualized it. How many people
are there like that walking around in this world?
Couple thousand, maybe? Hes one of them.
JIM HARBAUGH, MICHIGAN FOOTBALL COACH
High impact three-way players

are unique.
He can pretty much do whatever
he wants to on the field athletically, linebacker James Ross says.
Maybe hell (even) try to kick the
ball.
Actually, James, he can do that,
too.
Last Saturday in Minneapolis,
Peppers was on the field for 92
plays. He played corner, nickel,
safety, quarterback, receiver,
punt returner and kick returner.
He had 100 total yards, scored a
touchdown, made three tackles and
broke up a pass.
His role on defense changes
and expands week to week, given
Michigans opponent, and Peppers
never really knows what his assignments will be until defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin gives them to
him on Monday afternoons.
Usually, by Monday evening, he
has them memorized.
His value to Michigans defense
cant really be tagged with a number,
hes that versatile. Most believed
it was only a matter of time before
Peppers began playing on offense
in college, much like he did in high
school as one of the countrys top
prospects. Michigan tinkered with
some Peppers offensive concepts
this summer, but didnt get serious
about them until the week of the
Michigan State game.
He made his first appearance on
offense toward the end of the first
half. Prompting two straight timeouts from Michigan State coach
Mark Dantonio which Peppers
thought was pretty cool.
He actually pointed at me and
smiled, Peppers recalled. Then he
called the timeout. That was a good
feeling. I dont want to say I forced
them into a timeout, but maybe
we came out into a look he wasnt
expecting at that point.
Peppers hasnt quite reached
Owen Marecic snap count levels
yet, but hes close. Marecic was one
of Harbaughs most consistently
used two-way players during his
Stanford days, as he started as both
a fullback and an inside linebacker
during his senior season in 2010
finishing 10th in Heisman voting.
Harbaugh estimates that Marecic
played somewhere between 105 and
110 snaps per game, at times, that
season. Peppers just started adding
offense to his arsenal, but his time
with the unit grew from a sprinkle
against Michigan State to several
different packages at Minnesota.
Peppers still spends the bulk of
his time with the defense day in

and day out, until someone from
the other side hollers his name and
asks him to do more.
Hell just come in and you just
know it ... we wear different jerseys,
offense and defense, but he doesnt
have to change, you know hes
there, tight end Jake Butt says. I
dont know how Durkin feels about
it when we pull him out of a defensive period to come down and work
with our offense.
But we move him around a little
bit.
Harbaugh says Peppers conditioning, at this point, is at the highest level. Peppers gives props to
Michigans strength and conditioning staff, led by Kevin Tolbert, for
getting him into this type of shape
over the winter and summer.
Time will tell how much
Michigan can lean on Peppers
throughout the month of November
and still keep him as fresh as possible each and every week. But right
now, the staff continues to work on
adding layers to his game, bit by bit.
As a high school player, Peppers
said he wasnt afraid to tell his
coaches when a gear needed to be
removed from his overall list of
tasks. So far, he hasnt had to say
that.
And Michigans coaching staff is
just fine with that.
It would seem hard, Harbaugh
says, when asked how difficult it is
to place a player in that many spots
on a field. It hasnt been that hard
with Jabrill.
Apart from being one of the more
talented Punt, Pass (yeah, he can
do that, too) and Kick contestants
in the Big Ten, Peppers role on
Saturdays for the Wolverines continues to grow week by week. As
does his impact.
If it wasnt for the final punt snap
against Michigan State, Peppers
role in the return game may have
made the difference. He set up
two touchdowns with returns and
scored another on his own.
After every game this season,
Harbaugh has handed out awards
to offensive, defensive and special
teams most valuable players.
Last weekend, he saved himself
some paperwork.
He rolled them all into one, and
just gave it to Peppers.
All you have to do is put in the
time and effort, he says, discussing
his conditioning, focus and task list.
Anybody could do it, really.
Well, no, they cant.
And thats sort of the point.

Calhoun sets goals high

By Kyle Austin
kyleaustin2@mlive.com
EAST LANSING The number may seem absurdly high, but

Shilique Calhoun doesnt hesitate to
throw it out there.
I would love to obtain 20 sacks,
Calhoun said last week. Im still
reaching for that goal.
The Spartans standout defensive
end isnt talking about 20 sacks for
his career, mind you. Hes talking
about 20 sacks this season.
Twentys a good number, he
said. I feel like its obtainable.
Such is the confidence Calhoun
brings into the closing stretch of his
senior season, which started with a
Saturday game at Nebraska.
Calhoun does so amidst his best
stretch of the year, with five tackles
for loss and 3.5 sacks in his last
three games. Last week, he was
named one of 12 semifinalists for
Twentys a good number. I feel like its obtainable.

SHILIQUE CALHOUN, ON THE NUMBER OF SACKS HES SHOOTING FOR THIS SEASON
the Lombardi Trophy, which goes

to the countrys top down lineman
on either offense or defense.
And even if he misses on that
lofty goal, his career could well end
with Calhoun at or near the top of
the schools career sacks list.
Calhoun entered the season with
16.5 career sacks. With eight sacks
on the season, he is now only a half
sack behind Julian Peterson for second on the schools career list. After
that, hes eight more sacks behind
Larry Bethea, who recorded 33
sacks in three seasons from 1975-77.
Calhoun is also fifth on the
schools tackles for loss list, 8.5
behind career leader Peterson.
Spartans defensive line coach
Ron Burton said Calhouns perfor-
mance has been about consistency.

I just see him continuing to
do what hes done all along, take
advantage of the opportunities
that are given to him, and see it
consistently on a weekly basis,
Burton said last month. He has a
high motor, hes going to execute,
and hes going to try to finish somewhere near that ball.
With eight of 12 regular season games in the books entering
Saturday, Calhoun was averaging
exactly a sack per game.
He knows that means theres a
little catch-up to play if he wants to
get 20 on the season. But Calhoun
has another lofty goal in mind.
Still waiting for that six-sack
game, Calhoun said.
PITTSBURGH
DeShone Kizer threw for
five touchdowns and ran
for another as No. 8 Notre
Dame bolstered its College
Football Playoff resume
with a 42-30 victory over
Pittsburgh on Saturday.
Kizer completed 19 of
26 passes for 262 yards
with no turnovers as the
Irish (8-1) won their fourth
straight. Will Fuller caught
seven passes for 157 yards
and three scores and Josh
Adams ran for 147 yards
and hauled in Kizers final
touchdown pass.
Notre Dame never
trailed and rolled up 435
total yards in their first
game since being ranked
fifth in the initial CFP poll.
Nate Peterman passed
for 223 yards with a touchdown and an interception
for Pitt (6-3), which has
lost two straight. Jordan
Whitehead ran for two
scores for the Panthers.
Tyler Boyd caught three
passes for 84 yards to set
a school record for career
yards receiving but Pitt
was never really in it over
the final three quarters.
The Panthers simply
werent quick enough to
keep up with the Irish even
after starting running back
C.J. Prosise went to the
locker room in the first half
with an undisclosed injury
and did not return.
Trailing 21-3 at halftime,
the Panthers finally generated some momentum
in the second half, with
Whitehead showing off
the speed that made him
the most coveted recruit in
Pennsylvania last season.
Getting snaps on offense for
the first time, Pitts starting safety scored on runs

of 10 and 3 yards to give
the Panthers some juice.
But Kizer and the Irish
responded every time.
Notre Dame hosts Wake
Forest next week then
ends the season with trips
to Boston College and
Stanford.
The Panthers, meanwhile, head to Duke next
week with an outside
shot of staying in the ACC
Coastal Division race
behind front-running
North Carolina.
No. 11 Florida 9,
Vanderbilt 6: Austin
Hardins 43-yard field goal
with 2:22 remaining helped
Florida clinch a spot in
the SEC championship
game. The Gators won the
Eastern Division for the
first time in 2009, and in
coach Jim McElwains first
season. The Commodores
(3-6, 1-4 SEC) held Florida
to 258 yards, including 57
in the second half. But the
Gators (8-1, 6-1) did just
enough on their next-tolast possession to set up
Hardins winning kick.
Vanderbilt had one final
chance, but failed to pick
up a first down on a fourthand-25 play.
No. 21 UNC 66, Duke
31: Marquise Williams
threw for 404 of his
school-record 494 yards by
halftime. Williams threw
for four touchdowns and
ran for another, breaking
the school passing mark
in the opening minutes of
the second half. The Tar
Heels (8-1, 5-0 ACC) havent
lost since the opener and
firmed up their hold on the
Coastal Division race.

Northwestern beats Penn State

on eld goal in nal seconds
EVANSTON, Ill. Jack

Mitchells 35-yard field goal
with nine seconds left gave
the Northwestern Wildcats
a 23-21 win Saturday over
Penn State.
Backup quarterback
Zack Oliver passed for
one touchdown and ran
for another, and Justin
Jackson rushed for 186
yards for Northwestern.
Mitchell had missed an
extra point and a pair of
field goals.
Solomon Vault added a
96-yard kickoff return for
a TD with 2:04 left in the
first half for Northwestern,
which is No. 21 in the
College Football Playoff
rankings and won its second straight after consecutive losses. For Vault, it was
his second kickoff return
TD this season and third
of his career, both school
records.
Oliver replaced Clayton
Thorson after Thorson was
hit with 3:09 left in the first
quarter by Penn States Carl
Nassib. Thorson completed
a 13-yard pass to Christian
Jones but suffered a lowerbody injury on the play and
didnt return.
Nassibs sack of Oliver
with 14:50 left in the game
gave him 151/2 this season
to set a single-season
Nittany Lions record.
Northwestern (7-2, 3-2)
had to win with Oliver, who
had only appeared in three
games before Saturday. He
passed for 111 yards and
threw an interception.
Saquon Barkley ran for
120 yards and had two
scores, and the second
with 12:22 left gave the
Nittany Lions a 21-20 lead.
With 2:25 to go, Barkley
was stopped short on a
third and one at his own 15,
giving Northwestern the
ball back.
Penn State QB Christian
Hackenberg was 21 of 40
for 205 yards with an interception.
Illinois 48, Purdue 14:
Wes Lunt threw three firsthalf touchdown passes,
and Illinois snapped a
three-game losing streak
Saturday. Josh Ferguson
returned from injury and
carried 12 times for 133
yards. KeShawn Vaughn
rushed for 180 yards on 16
carries and two TDs.

NFL can aid search

By Justin Rogers
jrogers@mlive.com
Following the termination of general

manager Martin Mayhew and president
Tom Lewand, Detroit Lions owner Martha
Firestone Ford announced the organization would immediately embark on a
national search to determine the best leadership to manage the team going forward.
Ford didnt provide additional details
and didnt take any questions from the
media. But the NFL offers a wealth of vetted research on potential candidates if the
Lions are interested.
In 2011, the league founded its Career
Development Advisory Panel to determine the best up-and-coming candidates
the NFL has to offer. The panel consists
of a venerable whos who of former
coaches and decision-makers Ernie
Accorsi, Bill Polian, Charlie Casserly,
John Madden, Tony Dungy, Dennis
Green, Ron Wolf, Carl Peterson and
newcomers Mike Holmgren and James
Shack Harris.
The group meets every four weeks during
the regular season, consistently updating a
book of candidates imminently prepared to
assume coaching and front office positions.

Additionally, the NFL hires independent
consultants to conduct mock interviews
with the potential candidates during the
NFL scouting combine. Those interviews
are filmed and all the data and videos are
made available to every team upon request.
Its been commonplace for nearly
every franchise conducting a search to
request the panels data, even if its just
to validate their private search results.
An NFL spokesperson declined comment
on whether the Lions have requested the
information.
Additionally, based on Fords comments,
it is expected the Lions will hire a national
search firm to aid in the search, although a
team spokesperson was unable to confirm.
There are a number of firms who specialize in headhunting for NFL coaches
and executives, including Korn/Ferry
International, which recently handled
searches for the Atlanta Falcons and New
York Jets.
The NFL also maintains a list of qualified
firms, available upon request, and will even
help facilitate an initial meeting between
the two parties.
THE NEXT GM?

Heres an alphabetical list of
12 names, from up-andcomers to former GMs, who
could be worth taking a look

BASEBALL
20 receive qualifying oers
Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy was

among a record 20 free agents who received
$15.8 million qualifying offers before Fridays
deadline. With teams prizing starting pitching,
Jeff Samardzija (Chicago White Sox), Marco
Estrada (Toronto), Yovani Gallardo (Texas), Ian
Kennedy (San Diego), Wei-Yin Chen (Baltimore),
Hisashi Iwakuma (Seattle) and Brett Anderson
(Los Angeles Dodgers) also received offers.
Players have until Friday to accept. In the three
previous offseasons, none of the 34 qualifying
offers was taken as free agents sought contracts
with longer terms. For a less-sought-after free
agent, a qualifying offer could dampen his market if clubs hesitate to give up a high draft pick.

Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane said

Friday he is relieved for his family and friends
now that a prosecutor has closed a rape investigation. But Kane sidestepped questions about

The first question the next
GM will need to answer
is, do any of those three
offer a brighter future than
Stafford? At 28 years old, he
still has several seasons in
his physical prime.
The next question will be
whether the Lions, currently
on pace to land the No. 1
overall pick in the draft, stay
that dismal course and are
in guaranteed position to
land the quarterback they
hypothetically covet.
And even if both A and B
are true which we must
state again, are big ifs
theres still no reason to cut
Stafford. That would be a
wildly irresponsible business decision.
For all of Staffords flaws,
you cannot convince me
there wouldnt be a market
for his services. His average
salary for 2016 and 2017 is
the going rate for middle-tier
QB production, and few in
that group offer his physical

tool set.
A reasonable barometer
for Staffords value should
be the first- and third-round
picks Denver received
for sending Jay Cutler to
Chicago in 2009. The skill
sets are strikingly similar,
although Cutler was two
years younger than Stafford
is now.
Or the Lions can draft a
QB and groom him behind
Stafford for a season. Maybe
the pressure pushes Stafford
to another level.
Mayhew believed Stafford
had the potential to lead the
Lions to the Super Bowl and
even make it to the Hall of
Fame one day. Mayhews
successor may or may not
agree.
But thats his determination to make. Not the fans
and not the media. Lets see
where the general manager
search takes us, and how the
coaching situation shakes
out after that, before we try
to evaluate what the future
holds for Stafford.

thing the Lions could do is

Will this be a better arrangement? Well, put it this way: It
cant get much worse than

remains one of the most
astounding sentences in

TIGERS
Rotation, bullpen
are top priorities
as free agency nears
By Chris Iott
ciott@mlive.com
General manager Al
Avila said recently that
the Detroit Tigers will
be open to any
and all ways to
improve this
offseason. Their
main focus will
be on improving
a pitching staff
that was one of
the worst in the
Avila
majors in 2015.
Action should start
heating up for the Tigers
and the other 29 teams
in the majors when the
period to sign free agents
began at midnight Friday
night. But the Tigers
might try to make some
trades in addition to
signing free agents this
offseason.
Our message is that
were open for business
in the sense that, if theres
anything that makes
sense for us in a trade, we
would do it, Avila said
last month.
Still, it seems likely the
Tigers will add more players through free agency
than through trades. So,
lets look at their priorities heading into
the winter months, as
well as how they might
fill those holes with free
agents.
STARTING
PITCHING
The Tigers are
hoping to add a
pitcher who would be in
the mix of the top three
in the rotation, Avila said
after the season. Reading
between the lines, that
certainly sounds like
the Tigers will not be
going ace shopping. So,
assume guys like David
Price, Zack Greinke and
Johnny Cueto are out of
reach and think of guys
like Jeff Samardzija,
Yovani Gallardo and Scott
Kazmir instead.
RELIEF PITCHING
Avila said
the Tigers will
be looking for
a closer, although he
admitted there arent
any clear-cut star closers
available in free agency.
If the Tigers want to aim
high, they could try to
put a deal together to get
Aroldis Chapman or Craig
Kimbrell, both of whom
could be available in a
trade. Darren ODay is the
top closer on a thin freeagent market for closers,
which means some team
might overpay for him in
a big way. The Tigers likely are to at least discuss
a reunion with former
closer Joakim Soria.
MORE STARTING
PITCHING
In addition to
a guy for the top
three in the rotation, the
Tigers also will
be looking to add
a second starting
pitcher, Avila said.
It seems likely
they will aim for
a short-term deal
for a veteran with
the hopes another
one of their young
pitchers will be ready to
step into the rotation in
a year or two. Someone
like Hisashi Iwakuma or
Chris Young would make
sense.
MORE BULLPEN
HELP
Avila said he
hopes to add at
least two bullpen arms.
The Tigers certainly could
use some relief help.
There are only about
a zillion relief pitchers
available every offseason,
so take your pick of Ryan
Madson, Chad Qualls,
Tommy Hunter, Ryan
Webb or anyone else you
like.
A LEFT FIELDER
Yoenis
Cespedes said he
liked playing for
the Tigers and was open
to playing in Detroit long
term. He also said the
same thing of Oakland
when he played for the
As, Boston when he
played for the Red Sox
and New York when he
played for the Mets. It
seems extremely unlikely
the Tigers will be willing to commit the money
necessary to sign a guy
like Cespedes, considering all the other needs
they have. If the Tigers
are going to blow open
the bank vault to improve
the outfield, Alex Gordon
seems to be a better fit to
me. Instead, expect them
to sign a right-handed
hitter like Rajai Davis or
Austin Jackson to share
time in center or left
with Anthony Gose and
Tyler Collins, who hit lefthanded.
A BACKUP
CATCHER
This may or
may not happen.
The Tigers could just go
with Bryan Holaday as
the backup. If they do
sign a free agent to back
up James McCann, they
would risk losing Holaday
to a waiver claim. (He is
out of options.) Former
Tigers catcher Brayan
Pena and fellow switch
hitter Dioner Navarro are
options.

Fedorov praises Bowman for help during tough time

TORONTO As former
Detroit Red Wings center
Sergei Fedorov received
his Hall of Fame ring
Friday, he commented
about how much he
enjoyed playing for coach
Scotty Bowman.
And
then
Fedorov
described
the
moment
he discovered the
human
Fedorov
side of the
hard-driving and seemingly
cold and distant Bowman.
I dont know if you
know, but I had a little
trouble with my love life
and stuff, Fedorov told
the audience at the Hall of
Fame. One moment I really cherished, I really got
to know Scotty was when
he let me figure out my
life and let me off the team
for a couple, three days. I
really, truly finally figured
out who Scotty Bowman
was. After that, I played
even harder for him.
Fedorov was going

through a difficult time in
his relationship with Anna
Kournikova, whom he later
married and eventually
divorced.
It was a tough time
for him, and we let him
go to Arizona to see Anna
Kournikova, because
they were pretty serious,
Bowman said. He wanted
a couple of days, and we
were going to Los Angeles,
so I said, Why dont you
go there first and join the
team. He could miss a
practice or two. I never
worried about him, his
skating and conditioning.
Bowman said he noticed
Fedorov was more motivated when he returned to
the team.
I always said I dont
know if we would have
won the second Cup in 98
if he hadnt been there,
Bowman said. He signed
with (Carolina, an offer
sheet), and the Red Wings
matched the offer. He came
back and had a great playoff and made a difference
in a lot of games.
Fedorov was one of the
games premier two-way
forwards for many of his

13 seasons with the Red
Wings. He won the Hart
Trophy as league MVP
in 1993-94 and the Selke
Trophy as the top defensive
forward in 1994 and 1996.
Sergei always wanted a
little more ice time, which I
dont blame him, Bowman
said. When I first got there,
he was more defensive
as a center than he was
offense. His offense came
later. He was one of the few
European players who was
really a terrific defensive
player to start. So, when we
needed a defenseman for
about six weeks, I seized
the opportunity because
hes not going to be concerned about his ice time,
hes going to play 25 minutes. So, he went back and
played at least 25 minutes.
He went back and played
defense, and he was terrific.
He took it upon himself.
Fedorov credited his
Russian hockey roots for
enabling him to step in on
the blue line and not look
out of place.

TAYLOR The Detroit Red

Wings have moved the puck out
of their zone quicker and more
efficiently because the defense is
communicating better.
Cheli (assistant coach Chris
Chelios) is all over me all the time
to make sure we tell them to talk,
coach Jeff Blashill said Thursday,
following practice at the Taylor
Sportsplex. As a habit, weve got
to continue to remind them in
practice to talk, to talk, to talk. Just
like stopping in front of the net, if
you do it in practice, youll do it in
games. The same thing in terms
of communicating, it makes the
game way easier if we can talk to
each other.
This weekend is Hall of Fame
weekend, as the Red Wings will

see former teammates Nicklas
Lidstrom and Sergei Fedorov.
They, along with other inductees Chris Pronger, Phil Housley,
Angela Ruggiero, Peter Karmanos
and Bill Hay received their rings
during a ceremony Friday afternoon at the Hockey Hall of Fame.
They also were honored on the
ice prior to the Red Wings game
Friday against Toronto, and they
officially will be inducted into the
Hall on Monday.
We got to make sure that we
utilize each other, and you should
always have outs on the ice,
Blashill said. For example, in the
neutral zone, the D should always
have an out; they should always
have their partner to go back to
or a post guy to go up to. We got to

Zetterberg said they have been

playing more as a five-man unit,
offensively and defensively.
I think were keeping the defensive end tighter, and once were
getting the puck, were getting the
D-men involved, Zetterberg said.
Its something we worked on a lot
in camp, but we kind of got away
from it. The last three games, its
been better, and were seeing the
results from it.
When talking about getting the
defense involved and defensemen
in general, nobody, at least after
Bobby Orr, was better at it than
Lidstrom,
In my eyes hes probably
the best defenseman who ever
played, Zetterberg said. I played
with him for 10 years, and he was
the best player every night.

When did you realize

how fast you were?
As a kid, or when did that
kind of come to life?
I knew I was pretty
quick growing up
as a kid. I didnt know
how much that would
transfer as I got older.
Then when I got to
junior, I started realizing that some of these
guys I was playing with
were drafted and would
be playing in the NHL
and that I was as fast or
faster than them, and
thats when it hit me
that this would be a big
part of my hockey game.
I wanted to embrace it
and keep it up and get
faster if I could.
Were you a fast runner as a kid, or are
you a fast runner now or
is it just something on
the ice?
Im pretty quick.
I did a little bit of
track in junior high and
high school. Nothing
competitive, but in a
small town or city or
whatever you want to
call it, I was one of the
quicker kids.
It wasnt from getting chased by the
neighborhood bullies was
it?
I had two older
brothers that liked
to put a licking on me
once in a while. We
had an interest in some
games that always
seemed to be me getting
tackled by both of them,
so I had to be pretty
quick on my feet against
those two.
Do you have a bucket list?
Theres a few things
I want to try and
do. Theres a lot of types
of fishing I want to do.
I havent really done
fly fishing, but thats
something Id like to
try. Being out in the
wild with nothing really
around, maybe a couple
buddies. Fly fishing is
something Id be interested in trying.
Is fishing something
you do to relax?
Yeah, I like to fish
quite a bit in the
summer. I got a lake
in Ontario I go up to.
Id say thats my happy
place. I do a lot of fishing up there as much as
I can. I got a few buddies
up there I like to bring
out. Its relaxing, takes
your mind off everything and just enjoy the
wilderness.

make sure that we dont skate in

front of people and take away their
own options.
Better puck movement will lead
to more offensive zone time, which
will lead to an improved shots differential.
At the beginning of the year,
I think we did it, and I think we
re-emphasized using our D to get
out of our zone a little bit more,
Blashill said. Just really the D
wanting and calling for pucks and
being a real factor in helping us
have five guys as a unit get out of
our zone. A lot of times, when you
turn pucks over, its because you
dont have options. It probably
works in reverse that the more
options you have, the less chance
youre going to turn pucks over.

Shields: Rousey would

get destroyed in ring
Flint Olympic champion is tired
of being asked about MMA star
By Eric Woodyard
ewoodyar@mlive.com
FLINT UFC champion Ronda

Rousey is the queen of the ring for
MMA fighting.
In the boxing world, Olympic gold
medalist Claressa Shields is climbing
the ranks.
Many reporters and fight fans have
approached the Flint fighter about
the idea of a potential bout with
Rousey, and shes sick of hearing
the comparisons. Shields used her
Facebook page to sound off about the
topic last week.
Look Im not responding to no
more of this Ronda Rousey bull crap! I
won a Olympic Gold Medal at 17 years
old! She never won a Gold medal, she
won Bronze in Judo! Shields posted.

My over all record is 66 wins and
1 loss (3 years ago) and Im 30 pounds
bigger than her!!!! She would get
destroyed in the ring by me.! End of
this useless discussion. Shes great at
MmA and Im a killer in boxing! I dont
get paid to give her publicity.
In July, ESPN also approached
Shields about Rousey in the midst of
her winning gold at the Pan American
Games in Toronto. She was open to
the fight then, but not outside of her
sport.
Im not ever doing mixed martial
arts, Shields told ESPN. I dont
understand the sport. Ronda is great
at what she does, but, for one thing,
I dont know how to wrestle. Im a
straight boxer. I know the sweet
science. I dont know how to fight off
the ground or be on the ground.
But in the middle of my
professional career, if Ronda wants
to transfer over to boxing, Ill box her

and we can make a deal. First, she
boxes me, then I go into the MMA ring.
... I know for a fact I would beat her
in boxing. Thats simple. But MMA?
Uh, no. Id give (the win) to her, but I
would give her a fight.
Former boxing star Oscar De La
Hoya is trying to convert Rousey to
boxing at some point.
Whenever she decides to make the
transition, De La Hoya said he would
love to promote Rousey through his
company.
Rousey also became the first MMA
fighter to be featured on the cover of
Ring Magazine since its debut in 1922.
She will be on the cover of its January
2016 publication.
Weve discussed it, and whenever
shes ready to step into the ring as
a boxer, then obviously, Golden Boy
Promotions will be right there with
her, De La Hoya told Fight Hub TV.

The No. 1 question facing Michigan is when Irvin will return

year where Im at the top of
the key and my defender is

in the paint and I pass the
ball and they double team.
Izzo, who said Nairn has
been a leader since the day
he stepped on (campus),
believes everyone will see a
different him this season.
Valentine already has had
a sneak peek, and he likes
what he has seen.
His work ethic is off the
charts, but not only that,
I think in practice and in
the games hes been more
comfortable, Valentine said.
When I looked Tum Tum
up on high school highlights,
thats what I see in practice
now.

A strong Italy trip likely moved him up the perimeter rotation.
23 DEYONTA DAVIS
Might need time before hes ready for a featured role. As a
defender and shot blocker, his impact could be immediate.
25 KENNY GOINS
Size: 6-6, 225 Class, position: Redshirt freshman forward
Could start contributing this season by providing depth at
power forward, especially early.
30 MATT VAN DYK
Transfer provides depth to the backcourt.
34 GAVIN SCHILLING
Turned heads in Europe. He will have to prove he can make
free throws and stay out of foul trouble.
41 COLBY WOLLENMAN
Size: 6-7, 230 Class, position: Senior forward
Has proven he can provide valuable minutes.
45 DENZEL VALENTINE
Will need to score, defend, rebound and dish out assists and
lead in his nal go-around.

Dukes overcome injuries to sweep John Glenn, win district title
Garber perseveres
By Ryan Yuenger
ryuenger@mlive.com
ssexville Garber needed to

come together as a team to
overcome injuries to two
major contributors late in the
season.
The Dukes (34-18-1) did
just that Thursday, defeating Bay
City John Glenn 25-21, 25-23, 25-21
to claim a Class B district title at
Standish-Sterling.
We have played some good team
volleyball since those injuries,
Garber coach Kim Kokaly said.
Theres not one dominant player on
our team, but we make it work.
Its fun to watch.
Kaylee Meyers was a backup
prior to her teammates getting
injured but was given a chance
against John Glenn.
She hasnt played a whole lot this
season, Kokaly said. But she gives
100 percent in the gym and has
really made the most of the opportunity.
It just shows all the girls that if
you keep working hard, opportunities will come your way. Its exciting
to see.
Meyers finished the match
with four aces. Allie Newton led
the Dukes with 20 digs, while
Madison Seegraves led with nine
kills. Landry Shorkey and Hannah
Landosky each had 11 assists, and
Katelyn Hugo had three blocks.
The Bobcats kept it close in each
game, but were not able to find their
rhythm against the Dukes.
We just never got into a momentum to really set ourselves apart,
John Glenn coach Lisa Pfenninger
said. We got beat. Garber came

against John Glenn on Thursday in Standish. (Nicole Hester/MLive.com)
with more intensity on the floor. A

little bit edgy and very scrappy on
the floor.
We made a lot of unforced errors.
You take those away, and were right
back in it.
John Glenn (32-9-6) loses a strong
group of seniors this year Jenai
LaPorte, Sam Albaugh, Jessica
Duncan, Riley Cunningham, Cassidy
Boensch and Libby Amley a
group that led the team all season.
Boensch leaves as the school
record holder for blocks in a game
(five) and kills in a match (28). She
also tied the record for kills in a
game (11).
This is an outstanding group,
Pfenninger said. I cant say enough.
They are just amazing people. Not
just athletes, either. They missed a
National Honors Society assembly
to be here (Thursday). They are

going to go far.
They are smart, hard-working
and never give up. They are my
volleyball family. This isnt how
we wanted the season to end, but I
really cant complain about much.
It was a heck of a ride.
LOOK AHEAD
Garber takes on powerhouse

North Branch in the regional semifinal Tuesday. The Dukes also host
the regional tournament.
Were excited to go to our home,
Kokaly said. North Branch is a
great team, very well-coached. We
played them earlier in the year, and
we know what they have.
We didnt show our best in that
match, and I think thats not going to
happen this time around.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL ROUNDUP
BEAT THE ELITE
Freeland junior leads team to second consecutive district title
Kubiak steps up
MLive.com
he results were familiar, its

just the face and substance
that were different.
No 3-ranked Freeland
leaned on its vaunted run
game Friday to win a Division
5 district championship 35-13
against No. 9 Frankenmuth. But it
wasnt a Rybicki, Whitting or Metiva
leading the way on the ground.
In what was a physically taxing
game with both teams suffering multiple injuries, Freeland was forced
to turn to its deep stable of running
backs with junior Max Kubiak stepping up as the lead back.
Kubiak saw an increased work
load after Joe Rybicki went down
early against the Eagles with a leg
injury, and he responded with a
15-carry, 175-yard, two-touchdown
performance, helping the Falcons
reach the regional championship
round for the second consecutive
season.
He was averaging 16 yards per
carry at one point.
Our line did a great job, Kubiak
said. I just made a cut here or there,
and it was really open.
Power and physicality are usually
the name of the game for Freelands
offense, with bigger power backs
such as Ben and Joe Rybicki, Garhet
Metiva and Nate Whitting fielding
carries on most nights, however,
Frankenmuth (9-2) got a different
look all together with Kubiak.
At 5-foot-10, 163-pounds, the junior
relies on different tools when hes
toting the rock.
He brings more speed and a little
more shiftiness for us, Freeland
coach Kevin Townsend said. Being
a junior, thats a big hole (after
Rybickis injury) to step into to run
the way he did.
Of course, thats not the first
such performance for Kubiak, who
moved into the lineup at linebacker
in last years regional final against
Menominee, responding with double
digit tackles.
Freeland (11-0) hosts Lansing
Catholic next week in the regional
championship.
MCBAIN 20, NOUVEL 19
Saginaw Nouvel committed nine

penalties and two turnovers, but
still held a lead in overtime. But the

quarter, when McBain senior Seth

line but stretched far enough over

to score a two-point conversion
and give the Ramblers a win in a
Division 7 district final football game
Friday at Nouvel.
We gave the seniors the option,
and they wanted to go for the win
right now, McBain coach Pat
Maloney said. They have a way of
coming through in the face of adversity. It was for the win. I had confidence in them.
He actually was stopped and had
his legs taken out from under him,
but he reached over just enough to
get the ball over the line.
McBain (8-3) advances to the
Division 7 quarterfinal at Ishpeming.
Nouvel ends its season with a 9-2
record.
Cam Fluder led Nouvel with 38
yards rushing, while Jason Russell
caught five passes for 70 yards.
Santino Rosales caught five passes
for 63 yards.
MIDLAND DOW 42, FENTON 14
For the first time since 1997,

Midland Dow is headed to the
regional final.
After district final losses in each of
the past two seasons, the Chargers
got over the hump in convincing
fashion Friday with a Division 2
district final win over Flint Metro
League champion Fenton.
Quarterback Bruce Mann was the
star once again for the Chargers,
accounting for 256 total yards and
four passing touchdowns in the first
half alone.
Mann finished 18 of 31 passing
for 288 yards and five touchdowns,
while rushing 15 times for 67 yards.
He accounted for 355 of the teams
385 yards.
Mike Robb continued his impressive postseason with seven receptions for 112 yards and two touchdowns. On defense, he also had an
interception and a blocked punt.
Dow (10-1) takes on unbeaten
Walled Lake Western (11-0) in the
regional final Friday.
ITHACA 42, SANFORD MERIDIAN 6
Ithaca (11-0) easily dispatched

Sanford Meridian 42-6 in the
Division 6 district title game Friday
for its seventh consecutive championship.
Its unbelievable, said Ithaca
coach Terry Hessbrook, whose team
has outscored opponents 532-58 this
season. Our defense was fantastic.
We held them to under 100 rushing yards, and I am very pleased
with our run defense. They were one
of the fastest teams weve seen this
year.
Ithaca quarterback Jake Smith
completed 5 of 12 passes for 90 yards
and a touchdown. He also rushed
18 times for 101 yards and two TDs.
Jonah Loomis ran 19 times for 104
yards and three TDs.
Spence DeMull caught three passes for 50 yards and a TD.

Former D-1 commit Coskey stands out for Spirit

By Cory Butzin
SAGINAW It was
late in the game, and the
Saginaw Spirit seemed
destined for their second
big loss in a row, this one
at the hands of Sault Ste.
Marie.
That is when Cole
Coskey stepped in and
stood out.
The rookie forward
took a pass from Greg
DiTomaso beyond the
left faceoff circle and
unleashed a blast that
found its way its way into
the back of the net for a
power-play goal.
It was a memorable
moment in that not only
did it mark Coskeys first

career Ontario Hockey
League goal, but it also
jumpstarted a five-goal
third period for a 6-4
come-from-behind win.
It was an unreal experience with the boys getting (the monkey) off my
back, Coskey said. Just
unreal.
It took 13 games for the
Zion, Illinois, native to
record his first goal in a
big-time game.
The 16-year old was
selected by the Spirit in
the third round of the 2015
OHL draft with no assurances he would report
to the team. Coskey fell
to the third round he
was the highest American

selected outside the first
round due in large part
because he had given a
verbal commitment to
play Division I hockey for
Miami (Ohio) University.
However, he changed
his mind over the summer, committing to
Saginaw and signing an
OHL education package
with the Spirit.
I just thought it was the
best path for me, he said.
My family supported me;
everyone supported me. ...
I thought it was the best

Following in his fathers footsteps

Lee

Senior Miller one step

closer to matching
dads 1986 state title
AGINAW Faith is
a big part of Hunter
Millers life.
Its what led
the Essexville
resident to enroll
at Saginaw Michigan
Lutheran Seminary as a
freshman. Its what convinced him to stick with the
football team despite being
a small role player.
And its what made him
believe wondrous things
would come his way as a
Cardinal as they did for
his father before him.
My dad went here,
my uncles went here, my
brother went here, said
Hunter, the son of Lee and
Amy Miller. People ask
me, Why do you go there?
I love it here. Its one big
family.
On Friday, Miller made
his family, his school and
his team proud that he
persevered, hauling in a
touchdown catch to help
Seminary score a 22-7 victory over Fowler in the
Division 8 district title
game. For the second time
in as many playoff
games, the senior
wide receiver
emerged as one of
the surprise heroes
of the night, helping to send the
Cardinals (10-1) on
to Waterford Our
Miller
Lady of the Lakes
(11-0) for the regional final.
Thats one step closer
to matching the feat his
fathers team accomplished
a generation ago. In
1986, Lee Miller was a player on the Seminary squad
that rolled all the way to
the Pontiac Silverdome
and won the Class D state
championship, defeating
the same Fowler Eagles
who took the field Friday.
Thats huge motivation,
Hunter Miller said. My
dads team won it all and
my team can do it, too. Not
too many can say that.
Michigan Lutheran Seminarys Caleb Heyn runs the ball Friday during the Division 8 district nal game against Fowler. MLS won 22-7.
Lee Millers experience

at Michigan Lutheran
Seminary in football
and beyond was a big
reason for Hunter Miller
journeying there from
Essexville. Hunter stays on
the MLS campus, living the
life of a Seminary student
alongside 220 of his closest
friends.
The religious
aspect of the
school is important, said Lee
Miller, after giving his son a good,
long embrace at
midfield. I dont
know if hell
continue on and become a
pastor or teacher, but hes
strong in his faith.
The friendships hes
made here will always be
special they were for
me. Every time I come
back here, it feels like Im
walking into my own living
room.
Since the playoffs
arrived, Lee Miller who
works on the chain gang at
MLS home games has
had a front-row view of his
sons burgeoning exploits
on the football field. After
catching just eight passes
My dad went

went here.
People ask me,
Why do you go

here. Its one big

INSTEAD OF GOING TO
ESSEXVILLE GARBER

title against Fowler on Friday. (Nicole Hester/MLive.com)
for 161 yards and no touchdowns during regular

season play, Hunter has
hauled in three touchdown
tosses in two playoff victories.
Its always cool to watch
your kid do the kind of
things hes doing, Lee
Miller said.
Hunter Miller, who
caught two touchdowns in
a playoff-opening win over
All Saints, grabbed another
dramatic catch in Round

2 against Fowler. Wideout
Andrew Schroeder took
a pitch in the backfield,
pulled up and lasered a
perfect pass to Miller for
a 39-yard touchdown that
put MLS in front 14-0 in the
first quarter.
Weve been practicing
that play for a long time,
but we never ran it in a
game, Hunter Miller said.
When coach called it, it
was a little nerve-racking,

because I dont get the ball
that much.
With Schroeder, a 6-foot4 all-state caliber receiver,
on one side of the field and
Casey Williams, a Western
Michigan University
recruit, often lined up on
the other side, its easy to
see why Miller would be
kept out of the spotlight.
But the 6-foot-2,
160-pound senior who
also has two interceptions

and two fumble recoveries
as a cornerback on defense
is making the most of
his chances on the playoff
stage. He had faith this
is the kind of finish that
would unfold for his MLS
career.
My freshman year, I
wasnt even 100 pounds. So,
to be out here on this field
with these guys now means
a lot to me, he said. I
didnt play hardly at all last
year, but it was still a blast
just to be a part of the team.
Now, this year is something
I will never forget.
SANDUSKY 7, CASS CITY 0
Last-minute touchdown ends Cass Citys district title bid

By Steve Ungrey
Steven_Ungrey@mlive.com
In a game where both

defenses were unstoppable, one team was bound
to blink.
Cass City did the blinking, and it resulted in one
play that kept Sandusky
perfect and sent the Red
Hawks home for the season.
A 57-yard touchdown
pass from Brandon Potter
to Danny Hale with less
than a minute remaining
gave Sandusky a 7-0 victory and the Division 7
district title.
Every week, we prepare, and theyre ready
to work and focus,
Sandusky coach Craig
Jacobson said. Its been a
coachs dream. They are
a tight-knit group, and
they learn to compete
for each other. We had to

win five games in a row
to get to the playoffs last
year.
Jacobson said the
preparations for this year
began almost immediately
after Sandusky lost in last
years playoff round.
I think they thought
they had some missed
opportunities, Jacobson
said. From the moment
last season ended, they felt
like there was unfinished
business.
Sandusky (11-0) completed a pass on third
down and was set up to
run a no-play on fourth
down, but Jacobson had to
call a timeout. He wanted
to avoid a blocked-punt situation like what happened
at the end of the MichiganMichigan State game.
We blocked up front,

YARDS
Length of the only TD

Cass City allowed
against Sandusky
it was a play-action pass,
and our QB (Potter) made
a nice pass, Jacobson
said. Im sort of still
in shock, to tell you the
truth.
Cass City (8-3) scored
the most points in a season by one of its football
teams since 2006, and the
Red Hawks had the fewest
points allowed since the
1992 team.
We knew they were
going to throw the ball,
and (Potter) threw a perfect pass to the outside

shoulder, Cass City coach
Scott Cuthrell said. We
were there, and we just
missed it. (Hale) made a
nice catch and went into
the end zone. It was just
one of those things. Both
teams had some opportunities, and the defenses
stepped up.
Cuthrell credited his
seniors for putting in hard
work to make the postseason over the past two
years.
As for Sandusky, it faces
perennial power New
Lothrop in the regional
finals at 7 p.m. Friday.
New Lothrop has had
a lot of success over the
years. Were going to have
to come up with a game
plan and show up on
Friday.
Cass Citys Sawyer Cuthrell runs against Elkton-Piegon-Bay

Port last season. The 2015 Red Hawks scored the most
points in a season in school history since 2006 and
allowed the fewest points in a season in school history
since 1992. (MLive.com les)

When the Grand

familiar faces will be

Bay City native Steve
Talaga will be at the piano
and Pinconning native
Craig Hribek will be
playing saxophone for
the 7 p.m. concert.
Its thrilling, Talaga
said. I havent played
a gig in Bay City since
high school, or shortly
after that. I played art
weekends at the YWCA
(where mom Joan Talaga
worked), and a few gigs
at the bandshell with
different bands.
Hribek, however,
has been seen around
town, performing with the
Bijou Orchestra occasionally and visiting his mother, Bev, in Pinconning.
Talaga and Hribek also
have a history that stems
from time spent at All
Saints Central Catholic
High School, where
Hribek was band director
and Talaga a student.
Fresh out of college,
it was my first teaching
job, Hribek said. Thats
where I met Steve. I saw
a spark in him back then.
Lo and behold, here
we are playing in the
same jazz group.
That spark started
when Talaga was 4 years
old, learning to play the
piano by ear. Taking lessons throughout grade
school at Holy Rosary,
Talaga soon realized
structured music lessons
were not for him.
I did my own thing,
he said. Thats why I
gravitated toward jazz.
There is more freedom.

said. I played professionally on the road for seven
years, then worked at a

I ended up moving to

for Yamaha. Then Meyer
Music offered me a job
as a school service

He also started playing
gigs with founders Bob
Nixon and Tim Froncek,
along with drummer Bob
Taylor and Talaga.
The 40-year-old orchestra was formed from a
Monday night band that
met at Aquinas College.
When the leader of that
group, Bruce Early,
passed away, Froncek and
Nixon resurrected and
renamed the group, and
Hribek signed on.
Since that time, the
group has played with
such jazz greats as Pearl

Raoul Silva in Skyfall.
Cinematographer Hoyte

the film with shadows and
reflective mirrors, ably

By Pati LaLonde

From rescue dog to star,

Peek-a-Boo is ready for
her stage debut in the Bay
City Players production of
Suite Surrender.
The farce hits the stage
at 8 p.m. Friday at the
community theater, 1214
Columbus Ave.
Owned by the Rev. Lee
Austin, assistant director
of the show, the dog is a
2-pound ball of fluff who is
so important to the show,
she has a stunt double for a
harrowing balcony scene.
Playing Mr. Boodles, a
spoiled lap dog, this Yorkie
has her work cut out for
her, as the show unfolds,
and things might just not
be as they appear.
The play is set in 1942,

and some of the biggest

stars in Hollywood are
gathering at the Palm
Beach Royale Hotel to
perform in support of the
war effort. While names
like Jimmy Durante and
Red Buttons are tossed
around, the audience will
be introduced to two char-
acters Kathry Pawloski

as Claudia McFadden and
Liberty StarkweatherSmith as Athena Sinclair.
Not only do these two
have the diva thing going,
they also cant stand each
other. Due to a glitch, the
two have been booked
into the same hotel suite,
and its up to secretaries,
bellboys and the general
manager to make sure they
dont find out.
The poor general
manager (played by Mike
Wisniewski) is terrified
they will see each other,
said director Gordon
Levine. When one is in the
room, the other is out.
As an audience treat,
music from the big band
era will be piped into the
theater.

Advice
Carolyn Hax / Tell Me About It
Couple should
state preferences
Dear Carolyn: My fianc and I are
deciding where to spend our first
holidays together every holiday
before this has been celebrated apart,
with our own families.
I would much rather spend time
with my family, but my fianc wants
us to spend it together since we are
getting married which to him means
spending the morning with one family,
and then driving to see the other in the
afternoon.
The only problem: Our families are
five hours apart! I really dont want to
do that.
What you would advise?
Choosing
Saying this to him, not me?
My advice is to follow his lead in
theory, if not in practice: You are going
to be married, so its time for both of
you to state your preferences clearly
and figure out an arrangement you
both can live with.
To give you an idea of how this
sounds:
He says its time to spend holidays
together, and wants to start with
one family and then drive to see the
other.
You say you want to be together,
too, but if it means being in the car
for five hours on a holiday, separate
sounds better. Would he be willing to
alternate? And you take it from there.
With one unbreakable ground rule:
No secret agendas of getting your way.
If either of you is angling to grab more
family time at the others expense, then
please consider a longer engagement.
Love is swell, but maturity,
transparency and mutual support are
what keep it together.

Hints From Heloise
Enjoy Heloise
hints from 2010
Dear Readers: Here are some hints
from 2010. These ideas are just as good
today as they were back then. Enjoy!
Heloise
Dear Heloise: Houseplants that cascade downward, such as spider plants
and ivy, used to be a chore to display,
especially if you cant hang them. So I
took a large terra-cotta pot, turned it
upside down and put the potted plant on
top of this base. I hold the pots together
with putty. It looks very attractive.
M.P., via email
Dear Heloise: I wrap the kitchen TV
remote control in plastic wrap. This
keeps out dust and liquid spills, and
seems to protect it if its accidentally
dropped on the tile floor.

Parent pushes son into

arms of his ex-girlfriend
Dear Harriette: I have been nagging
my oldest son to focus on finding a wife
instead of working so hard. He is almost
29! After a few persistent months of
nudging on my end, he finally brought
home a girl. I would normally be ready
to pepper her with questions, but he
brought his busty ex-girlfriend, much to
everyones surprise! At first I thought
this was a joke to get back at me for how
hard Ive been pushing him, but my son
says he thought of his ex and wanted to
give her a call. When I first met this girl,
years ago, she was visibly not wearing a
bra, and she needed one! Not much has
changed about her in those years. The
way she presents herself is tacky with
her makeup and clothing. She makes
sure her chest gets everyones attention. I hope my son just tosses her, but I
have to be prepared to talk to her about
presenting herself in case he keeps her
around. I cant just give her an etiquette
lesson, but she needs to class it up. How
do I take her tacky and make it classy?
The Best For My Son, Cincinnati
Dear The Best For My Son: Be careful what you wish for, Mom! While you
meant the best for your son, pushing
him toward marriage before he was
ready was not wise. Your son wants to
please you while he also needs to establish his life independent of you. Now,
virtually anything you say may be misconstrued because of your pushiness.
Rather than pushing him into her
arms by complaining, be cordial to her
when she comes over. If you host an
event where she may show up dressed
inappropriately, speak to her privately
and let her know the expected dress

code. Treat her with respect. When you
need to educate her, do so kindly and
without judgment. In this way, however
she ultimately fits into your sons life,
you will be able to manage. If you can
find a space to talk with your son about
marriage, change the subject to what
qualities to look for in a life partner.
Steer him to thinking long-term about
his desires. This may help him decide
about her.
Dear Harriette: I am an woman in my
early 60s. When I was younger, I had my
breasts done. Few of my friends know
about the work Ive had done. Now the
issue Im having is with some unwanted
attention toward my chest! Other
women close in age feel comfortable
coming up to me and complimenting
me on my breasts! I find this invasive,
and I rarely walk around flaunting my
cleavage. Ive gotten compliments on
how lifted I seem. While this all sounds
well-meaning, I almost always get asked
the question of how I look the way I do.
I do not want people knowing Ive had
work done and judging me or spreading
gossip. What do I say?
Hush-Hush, Detroit
Dear Hush-Hush: You dont have to
answer every question youve been
asked. You can simply thank people for
the compliments and move on.

Recipe to clean
wood cabinets
D
ear Mary: Were moving into a new

house and would like to know what
kind of cleaner to use on the wood
kitchen cabinets? Thank you.
Sandy
Dear Sandy: If you are looking for a
commercial product to clean those cabinets, youll never beat the effectiveness
of real orange oil polish to melt away
grease, grime, polish and wax buildup,
leaving a fresh scent and beauty in its
place. At about $12 for 16 ounces, its
going to cost a bit to do your entire
kitchen, should you decide to go the
commercial route.
Or you can make your own cleaner
that will be equally effective, for just
pennies.
In a spray bottle, mix 2 tablespoons of
olive oil, 4 tablespoons of white vinegar
and enough warm water to fill the bottle. Shake it to mix, then spray it on one
door or drawer front at a time. Scrub
with a soft cloth to remove any dirt,
then buff to a beautiful shine. Before
each spray, give the bottle a shake to
keep the oil mixed in.
NOTE: While I have cautioned readers in the past to avoid using white vinegar on hardwood floors or any wood
application because over time the
acid in the vinegar is going to permanently dull the finish, using vinegar in
the recipe above is not going to create
a problem. First, because you are using
oil along with the vinegar to protect and
retain the finish and secondly, because
this is a cleaner you would use only
occasionally, not routinely in the way
you would clean hardwood floors.

Jim Daly / Focus on the Family
Quantity is key
to time with kids
Q:
Is the quality of time I spend with

my children more important than
the quantity?
The truth is that both are essential to a childs development and
well-being. In fact, the more involved
parents are with their children, the less
likely kids are to have social, emotional
or academic problems.
Its also worth pointing out that
while being intentional with our kids
is important, its not always possible to
plan meaningful interactions between
parent and child.
To regularly capture those moments
requires spending lots of quantity
time together.
One of the easiest ways to make this
happen is to turn off the TV and disconnect electronic devices when youre
home. Instead, read together, play
board games, take a walk to a local park
or sit and talk.
Finally, avoid the temptation to get
your kids overly involved in activities
outside the home. Kids dont need a
dozen different weekly activities. They
need quality and quantity time with loving, involved and committed parents.

GARDENING
Composting
is convenient
and great
for gardens
By Lee Reich
Compost is the stuff of

great gardens, the stuff that
fuels dinner-plate-size heads
of broccoli and traffic-stopping dahlias.
Compost is also good for
trees, shrubs and lawns, making plants happier by keeping
the soil around their roots
more moist and nutritionally
balanced.
The odd thing is compost is
also something that gardeners sometimes skimp on.
Most of us have more than
enough materials to create all
the compost our hearts and
plants could desire.
After all, compost is essentially whats left when organic materials anything that
is or was living decomposes.
COMPOST INGREDIENTS
Bags and bags of fallen

leaves sitting at curbs and
along driveways make this
wastage all the more evident
this time of year.
What about garbage bags
filled with old plants cleared
from the garden, houseplants
and grass clippings?
Theres no reason to relegate them to burial in plastic
bags in a landfill. Theyre fine
for compost.
Going a step further into
the world of garbage:
Vegetable trimmings, leftover
food past its prime, even
used paper plates can be
turned into compost. Those
plates were once living trees.
Snicker if you will, but even
old clothes, if made of cotton,
wool or other natural materials, can be composted.
THE CONVENIENCE OF
COMPOSTING
The perception is composting is less convenient or more

work than bagging up trash.
Not really, if you keep a small
container by the kitchen sink
and dump its contents once
daily on your compost pile; if
you rake leaves into an outof-the-way pile or beneath
trees and shrubs; and if you
just dump anything else compostable as it becomes available on your compost pile.
As for smells, yes, a compost pile can develop offensive odors, but not if some
thought is given to whats
added.
COMPOST BASICS
Which leads to perhaps

the biggest stumbling block
for many people considering
making compost: not knowing how.
Without becoming a compost maven, you can make
odor-free compost in a reasonable amount of time by
doing only three things.
First, make compost in
some sort of enclosure. It
doesnt need to be fancy, but
it should hold a minimum of
1 cubic yard of material.
Second, balance nitrogenrich ingredients with carbonrich ingredients. Nitrogenrich materials include kitchen waste, grass clippings, and
other green, younger plant
parts, as well as manures
and nitrogen fertilizers, such
as soybean or alfalfa meal.
Carbon-rich things include
wood chips, straw, paper and
other dry plant materials.
Third, be patient. You can
get finished compost in a
couple of months or less, but
whats the rush?
So this fall remember the
abundance we enjoy. The
enormous amount of garbage
we generate is, unfortunately,
part of that abundance, but
its something that can be
transmuted into the underpinnings of a great garden.
This image provided by Ulysses Press shows a simple, versatile bench made from pallet wood, which appears in the book Crafting with
Wood Pallets by Becky Lamb. Be on the lookout for oak, hickory or even cherry pallets. Heavy goods need to be transported by pallets made
from hardwoods such as these, says Lamb. Her book includes projects for furniture, decor and art. (Becky Lamb/Ulysses Press via AP)

Discarded wooden pallets are

DIY gold for furniture and more
By Jennifer Forker
Heres a little secret about building furniture out of pallets, those simple wooden
structures used to schlep goods: Not all pallet wood is cheap, rough-cut pine.
Sharp-eyed scroungers can find oak, hickory or cherry pallets, since hardwoods are
needed to transport heavy goods. Finding
one of those is hitting the jackpot for do-ityourself pallet-furniture aficionados.
The first time I found a hardwood, it was
hickory, and I was giddy, said Becky Lamb,
of Bozeman, Montana. And I made a bench
out of that one.
Wooden pallets in the U.S. often measure
40-by-48 inches. An online slideshow by
Country Living magazine features 17 pallet projects, including a headboard, garden
frame, daybed, wine rack and artworks.
More projects including guitars and
how-to tutorials can be found on the website
1001 Pallets.
Ive seen people do some amazing things
reclaiming the wood, including paneling
a wall or ceiling, said Jamie Supsic, style

director at Country Living.
There are two ways to approach DIY pallet furniture: Use the pallet intact, as the
foundation for a coffee table or sofa, or take
it apart and use the slats. One of the most
stunning creations she has seen was a chandelier hanging from ropes in a party tent: It
was made from a pallet hung with batteryoperated tea lights in mason jars.
Beginners might want to start with a daybed or console, for which the pallet could be
kept mostly intact, or a simple art project
such as a front-door wreath, she said.
Start with something small, and you only
have to use one small nail on your wall to
install it, Supsic said.
You can find wood pallets behind businesses, such as flooring and plumbingsupply stores, or the local newspaper, says
Lamb in her new book, Crafting with Wood
Pallets (Ulysses Press). Ask if theyre free
for the taking.
Not all pallets will make good furniture.
Each needs to be inspected. Steer clear of
those that appear to have a chemical or oil

residue, said Lamb.
Look for an IPPC (International Plant
Protection Convention) label or the HT
(heat-treated) stamp on the pallet. The IPPC
label verifies that the pallet manufacturer
followed standards for treating the pallets,
while the HT stamp assures that the wood
was heat-treated, not chemically treated.
Pallets used just in the U.S. might not have
the IPPC label, said Lamb, but play it safe
and use pallets that have it. Always look
for the HT stamp; besides being safer for
human use, the sterilization of heat-treating
ensures that the wood wont harbor insects.
Dimitri Boulze of Toulouse, France,
who launched 1001 Pallets two years ago,
thinks pallet furniture has become popular
because it combines recycling and creativity. And its cheap.
On one side, people are realizing that
resources are finite and recycling can help
with saving things and money, said Boulze.
And then it gives them a goal to create
something, and its something very positive.

By Kristi Eaton
Michigans Department of Natural Resources says the upcoming rearm deer season will require more planning and
scouting by hunters if they plan to bag a big one. DNR ofcials say the acorn crop this year was spotty and so deer
will be on the move, meaning hunters cant rely on the usual hunting spots. (Submitted by the Michigan Department of Natural
Resources)

unters who plan to go

out for the two-week
firearm deer season
starting Nov. 15 need to get
out and scout if they plan
to hunt the woods. This
years acorn crop is spotty,
according to state wildlife
officials. Deer will be moving and hunters will have
to find them rather than
assume their favorite oak
stand will be productive.
Its an average to good
year for mast, but its literally going to be a case
of have and have nots,
said Chad Stewart, deer
management specialist for
the Michigan Department
of Natural Resources. If
you are fortunate to have
white oak producing in
your woods, sit around
that tree. Or, if you have
persimmons dropping, sit
there. Its just a matter of
when you will see deer.
Michigans deer herd,
overall, is smaller than a
few years ago. Three consecutive hard winters took
a serious toll, particularly
in the Upper Peninsula
where most of the fawns
died two of those winters.
Epizootic hemorrhagic
disease, or EHD, also hit
the southern Michigan
deer hard in 2012, killing
many in various areas.
DNR surveys of hunter
success showed it declined
in 2014. Just more than
five out of 10 hunters took
home a deer. That decline
was seen all around the
state, but mostly in the
Upper Peninsula, according to Stewart.
The harvest up there
was really low, the lowest its been in 30 years,
Stewart said. The good
Bigger. Taller. Fancier.

Cambodias capital city
of Phnom Penh is undergoing a staggering period
of development 40 years
after the communist
Khmer Rouge regime
took over the city and
forced thousands to evacuate to rural Cambodia
in its brutal campaign to
create an agrarian-based
society.
Today, the citizens of
Phnom Penh still are
recovering from the devastation of the past while
a stylish regional capital
comes into its own.
Dilapidated structures
are being bought, torn
down and replaced with
shiny high-rises. Highend restaurants featuring
Khmer and Western-style
cuisine fight for space

and busy cafes while
rooftop bars are packed

news for U.P. hunters this

year is those who see deer
are seeing older age class
deer. But they wont see
the numbers they have
in the past. And, we dont
expect that to change overnight.
Despite the bad news,
there is good news, too.
Field reports from around
the state show many areas
in the northern Lower
Peninsula have older,
21/2-year-old bucks this
year. The NLP deer harvest is expected to be higher than last year. Antler
restrictions, limiting hunters to bucks with three
antler points or more,
were put in place 2013 for
many NLP counties. As a
result, fewer 11/2-year-old
deer were shot in 2014.
They have since matured.
Im optimistic
that (northern Lower
Peninsula) hunters will
have a good year, Stewart
said. There are good
numbers of quality deer.
It was a moist spring and
summer, and that promotes antler growth. Our
field staff has seen some
nice bucks being taken (in
the archery season).
Southern Michigan
hunters, many who hunt
private lands, are going to
benefit this year from the
advanced corn harvest. It
is ahead of last year, and
more fields will be cleared

come opening day. That
means better and more
deer sightings.
Chronic wasting
disease, which was discovered in Meridian
Township in Ingham
County this year, seems
contained. Only three
deer were found infected,
and all appear to be from
the same family group.
More than 1,100 deer have
been tested so far. The big
question hanging over its
occurrence is how the disease got there in the first
place.
Thats a million dollar
question. We have some
suspicions, Stewart said.
There are no deer farms
in the area, and we are not
looking at that industry as
a potential cause.
We have some thoughts
and those are being investigated by law enforcement. We do know the
three deer that tested
positive are (genetically)
consistent with deer in
Ingham County, which
means the disease was
brought in, but we dont
know how.
Stewart said hunters
can help with the CWD
surveillance work in that
region by reporting any
deer they find that is acting strange. Ample information about CWD and
whats being done about it

can be found online at
bit.ly/CWDinfo.
Hunters who are
fortunate enough to
bag a trophy deer this
year might want to consider entering it in the
Commemorative Bucks
of Michigan record book.
The 34-year-old nonprofit
maintains Michigans official records.
The organization has
2,000 members, and more
information can be found
at buckfax.com.
The process of entering
requires having the antlers measured and scored.
Bob Novosad, a CBM
scorer in Grand Rapids,
said hunters need to let
the antlers dry at room
temperature for 60 days
before they are measured.
The cost is $30, and that
includes membership.
People with a nice buck
always want to know their
score right away, but we
dont do green scores, and
they are not recognized,
Novosad said, explaining that this one-time
approach saves everyone
time. Scorers need only to
measure the antlers once.
So, if you happen to
shoot a nice buck this season, check out CBM and
see if it makes the record
book. Be safe out there
and happy hunting.

the Archs metal skin concluded the discoloration was caused by the landmarks
original construction, residue accumulation and, closer to the base, vandalism and
graffiti.
Although the National Park Service
has said scrubbing the monument isnt
feasible, last springs report concluded the
Arch is structurally sound and in serviceable condition, without significant structural distress or deterioration.
BIRTHDAY OBSERVANCE
A ceremony on Oct. 28 near the Arch

marked the moment its last, uppermost
piece joined the landmark.
St. Louis mayor and National Park
Service officials were among the speakers
during the anniversary celebration, and
visitors can get a glimpse of the grounds
renovations.
Rides to the top of the Arch cost just $1
neers who helped erect the Arch a half

century ago gathered to tell their recollections of the project.
Later that day, National Park Service
historian Bob Moore joined landscape
architect Susan Saarinen daughter of
the Archs late designer, Eero Saarinen
for a panel discussion.

The Arch and its grounds are undergoing an ambitious $380 million renovation
that includes a planned 46,000-squarefoot expansion of the visitor center and
a redesigned, modernized Museum of
Westward Expansion, both located underneath the monument.
The makeover of the grounds also
includes creating a park atop a concreteand-steel lid being built over an interstate
highway between the Arch and the citys
downtown, thereby expanding the green
space.
More than 900 donors from businesses to individuals, families and
regional foundations have contributed
roughly $212 million in private funding
for the project, according to the nonprofit
CityArchRiver 2015 Foundation, the renovation efforts coordinator.
Other funding has or will come from a
potpourri of sources including state tax

and the National Park Service, which is
overseeing the project.

The Bay City Times Editorial Board
On Election Day, we
had faith Essexville voters
would see through the fog
of misinformation laid
before them, namely that
they would see a reduction in their tax bill by
approving a brand new tax.
Thats what they were
pitched by city leaders in
being asked to approve a
2.69-mill proposal to fund
a $7 million project to
install water distribution
lines connecting the city to
the new Bay Area Water
Treatment Plant. Essexville
leaders want to disconnect
from the existing lines controlled, for now, by neighboring Bay City.
The proposal passed
393-334. We are sorely disappointed.
Its tough to believe
Essexville officials were too
impatient to postpone this
vote until after December
2016. Thats the deadline
for the Bay County Water
Consortium to divvy up
the future use and costs,
by municipality, to support water delivery from
the new Bay Area Water
Treatment Plant. In our
minds, it would have been
worth letting that scenario
play out first.
But there is more to this
than impatience.
The 393 voters who said
yes spoke for all 2,658 registered voters in Essexville.
Yes, a more costly millage
is about to disappear from
Essexville tax bills as an
8-mill 2000 storm and
sanitary sewer bond issue
expires in 2016. But make
no mistake, approving a
new tax does not reduce
your tax bill, it increases it.
After the votes were
counted, Essexvilles City
Manager Daniel Hansford
said in a news release voters should be commended
for being able to see
through the negative press
and intimidation.
Hansfords statement
continued, For over 100
years, it is documented,
Essexville has desired its
own water source. Today is
a great day for Essexville!
Roughly 13 percent of
Essexville residents had
such a desire last week.
Perhaps it was a great day
for them. We surely hope
the 3,000-plus others dont
end up drowning in the
debt of that desire for the
next 40 years.
EDUCATION
Michigans higher-ed enrollment slips, shows disparities between students
Not so college-bound
By Julie Mack
jmack1@mlive.com
New high school graduates
enrolling in college are down,
based on state data for the
Michigan Class of 2014.
About 39 percent of
the Class of 2014
enrolled in a four-year
college, compared to 23 percent who went to community
college.
The percentage of Michigan
students going to four-year
schools has held steady over
the past five years, but the percentage going to community
college is down. As a comparison, 25.7 percent in the Class
of 2013 went to a two-year college, 2.7 points higher than the
Class of 2014.
Its likely the collegegoing rate for the

Class of 2014 will
grow over the next few years.
While most Michigan students enroll in college right
after high school, some take
time off.
For instance, the state data
on the Class of 2010 shows
61 percent in college within
six months of graduating
high school, while 79 percent
attended college by June 2014.
Minority students in particular are likely to delay the start
of college, the data shows.
An estimated 64,289 grads

enrolled in higher education
within six months, according to the
Michigan Department of Education.
Thats 62.3 percent of those who
graduated from public schools.
GAPS IN INCOME,
RACE AND GENDER
Here is how selected intermediate
school districts ranked among the
states 25 largest for college
enrollment. The figures are for Class
of 2014 graduates who enrolled
within six months of finishing high
school, with the percentage of
middle-to-high income students and
low-income students who enrolled.
Michigans lowincome students are

likely to enroll in college, compared to their middle-class

About 48 percent of high
schoolers who qualified for

The states data is based on
all students who graduated
high school in a given year,
including students who took
five or six years to finish.
That makes it hard to calculate a college enrollment rate
for a given cohort, including
high school dropouts.
But the cumulative numbers
for the Classes of 2010-14 offer
a sense of the big picture. Of
654,369 students in Michigan
who started high school from

States road
plan has a
few potholes
And we can do
that. We can
walk and chew
gum at the
same time. We
can do it.
o after four long years, the

state Legislature finally
passed a plan this week to
fix the roads.
Thats great, youre thinking. We need better roads.
Yeah since, like, the Milliken
administration.
So well get them soon,
right?
Um, it depends on your
definition of soon. If you
define soon as sometime after
the next presidents first term
ends then yes.
If you go by Websters dictionary, then no.
What do you mean?
I mean, it will take five long
years before the road plan is
fully funded. Thats so long
that, as one wag put it, the
U.S. will have competed in not
one but two Summer Olympics
by then. Its so long that kids
born today will be in grade
school.
Its so long that, as one Dem
put it, all of the lawmakers
who created this bill will be
term limited out.
Meaning?
Meaning dont expect
better roads any time soon.
Some roads in some places,
but not all ($1.2 billion a year
only fixes part of the problem,
not all of it) will get attention
at some indeterminate point in
the future, although certainly
not enough for you to notice by
the next pothole season, or the
one after that, or the one after
that or ...
Wow, thats disappointing
and not at all what weve been
asking for.
Of course its not. What
weve been asking for are
noticeably better roads now
that dont jolt the fillings out of
our teeth. You know, like every
other state has.
So why are they moving so
slowly?
Because its state
government, which is not
exactly into the whole see
problem, fix problem for the
good of the people thing.
Their MO is more along the
lines of see problem, get
around to fixing problem
someday as soon as theres
positively no chance itll come
back to bite us.
Come back to bite them?
Weve been begging for better
roads. How could it come back
to bite them?
Taxes, of course. Theyre
convinced well vote anyone
out of office who raises taxes,
which is why only half the
$1.2 billion the road plan
raises per year will come from
increases to gas taxes and
vehicle registration. And even
those wont kick in til 2017.
Thats stupid. We need better roads now.
Yeah, well, I wanna be
Johnny Depp, too, so ...
So wheres the other half
coming from?
From the states general
fund, meaning less for police,
schools, colleges and so forth.
So theyre robbing Peter to
pay Paul?
Essentially. But dont worry,
lawmakers say the cuts will
be offset by future economic
growth.
Say what?
In other words, theyre saying the Michigan economy will
grow so fast the state will have
at least $600 million coming in
that it didnt before. So itll be
a wash.
But what if the economy
doesnt grow? Wouldnt that be
like buying a yacht you cant
afford then telling your spouse
not to worry because your
salary is sure to grow?
Kinda.
Isnt that a bit risky?
Obviously. Now stop asking

A ROAD FUNDING PLAN TO FIND
REVENUE AND STILL FUND OUR

On road fix plan,

Democrats see
devil in details
veryone who read the headlines that the

Legislature passed a $1.2 billion road fix plan,
raise your hand.
Now did you dive into the story to flesh out
the details?
The swooshing sound you just heard is hands
coming down all over the place, and thats just what the
Republicans want.
Popular wisdom is the Rs
dont want you to review the
whole story because that would
include major gripes from
Democrats, who dont much like
what Gov. Rick Snyder and his
party did.
This doesnt fix the roads, is
the unified Democratic message.
The governor caved in to pressure from conservatives, said
Rep. Tim Greimel from Oakland
County, and the Ds accuse him of
lacking any backbone. Or, as the
House Democratic leader put it,

The governor was so eager and
desperate to check the box and
get something that hell sign anything, and thats disappointing.
The Senate Democratic leader
is equally uncharitable to
Gov. Road Fix.
Time after time, he said he
stood for $1.2 billion long term.
Instead he gets a package of
garbage on his desk and he folds
up and signs it, said Sen. Jim
Ananich, D-Flint, recalling the
Ken
Braun
governors flip-flop on Right to

Work, no doubt.
The Democrats have a laundry
list of gripes, including taking
money out of the states checkbook to the tune of $600 million,
which they are convinced will
mean fewer dollars for schools,
public safety and health. The
governor denies that, but until
future lawmakers actually make
the cuts, no one can say who is
right.
So, given all this, you begin
to realize why the Rs prefer
that you stick with the headline,
because that leaves a positive
image in your head.
In the messaging game,
the win clearly goes to the
Republicans. All they have to
repeat is, We fixed the roads.
The challenge for the
Democrats is to explain why
this is a bad deal, and everyone
knows once you have to explain,
the typical citizen tunes out.
For example, when the Ds
argue the governor is taking
money out of the general fund,
some of the uninformed might
ask, Who was General Fund and
what does he have to do with the
roads?
Get the point on trying to mold
an anti-road-deal message that
will stick?
The governors leadership has
been questioned in town. Recall
that over three years ago he
started the bidding at $1.2 billion
each year for 10 years.
Even though you see the figure
$1.2 billion in the headlines, the
GOP plan does not get to that
otherwise permit.
But government estimates

implemented TABOR 20 years
ago, in 1995. The Senate Fiscal
Agency reports spending from
state resources exceeded per
capita inflation by $9 billion from
1995 to 2003.
Starting in 2001, Michigan ran
into hard times, and politicians
found it both painful and impossible to stay on the spending
pace theyd created.
It would have been better for
everyone if theyd never gone
down that path in the first place.
In addition to taxpayer rebates
in the late 1990s, a Michigan
TABOR might have filled the
rainy day fund with billions more
for the lean years to come.
Democrats are not generally
friendly to TABOR, but it would
have left Gov. Jennifer Granholm
with both a smaller government
when she arrived and more
money to play with. A lot of acrimonious budget fights may never
have occurred.
Republicans and Democrats
in the Legislature each have
good reasons to put a reasonable TABOR amendment on the
ballot. We shouldnt wait until
another boom-and-bust cycle
to remind us why this is a good
idea.

Immigration plan right under GOPs nose

The Washington Post
hen it comes to comprehensive immigration

reform, everything old
is new again. All the obstruction and careless rhetoric about
not trusting the president
flung around by former House
Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio,
was picked up by new Speaker
Paul Ryan, R-Wis. And just
because Ryan says it with such
conviction doesnt make what he
says true.
Ryan made his unprompted
assertion during an interview
with NBCs Chuck Todd that
aired Sunday on Meet the
Press.
Lets unpack what Ryan said,
shall we?
The president has proven
himself untrustworthy on this
issue, because he tried to unilaterally rewrite the law himself.
The speaker is referring to the
executive actions the president
took a year ago to address some

of the festering issues around
illegal immigration.
Presidents dont write laws.
Congress does.
Thanks to Schoolhouse
Rock, we all know that thats
how its supposed to work. In
fact, thats how it did work in
2013 when the bipartisan Gang
of Eight (four Republicans and
four Democrats) in the Senate
cobbled together a bipartisan,
comprehensive immigration bill
that passed with an astounding
68 votes. And then the legislation
went to the House.
I think if we reach consensus on something like border
enforcement, interior security,
thats one thing. But I do not
believe we should advance
comprehensive immigration legislation with a president whos
proven himself untrustworthy on
this issue.
As noted above, comprehen-
sive immigration legislation has

been sitting in the Republicancontrolled House for 29 months.
Within said legislation are provisions for border security and
interior security that Ryan cares
about.
So, lets be clear here. The bill
hasnt gone anywhere because
House Republicans simply
refuse to advance comprehensive immigration legislation
gathering dust in their own
cloakroom.
In the face of inaction and
after plenty of pleading from
Obama to act, the president took
action himself. Then, rather
than advance the Senate bill,
the House under Boehner sued
Obama and voted to block funding for his immigration orders.
Meanwhile, Obamas immigration actions were stopped by a
federal injunction last February
until there is resolution of lawsuits filed by 26 states that deem
the presidents actions unconstitutional.

So, states have taken the president to court because they think
he overstepped his constitutional
authority by taking executive
action on immigration an
action he took because the House
refused to advance a bipartisan
bill from the Senate in order to
placate a far-right claque that
will accept nothing less than ziplocking the border and deporting
all illegal immigrants.
This isnt about trusting the
president, Speaker Ryan. This is
about Republican leadership that
cant be trusted to do anything to
start fixing the problem.

Any effort to separate wants

role in economic expansions,
with spending on more important items such as groceries and
shelter taking the lead.

though, the roles have switched.

9.1 million and well
below the 21 million the
Congressional Budget Office
projected for next year.
Meanwhile, many insurers
are raising their 2016 premiums critics have pointed to
double-digit increases in some
places which could make it
harder to attract more buyers.
This picture isnt as alarming as it seems.
HHS reckons only 10.5 million uninsured people are eligible to buy marketplace plans
but have not. Given that, getting from 9.1 million enrolled
to the CBOs 21 million next
year seems not just unlikely,
but impossible. HHS explains
that fewer employers than
expected have been dumping
coverage plans for their workers.
Another factor is that
8.5 million people are in offmarket, unsubsidized plans,
which is partially President
Barack Obamas fault: Under
assault early in the rollout, he
allowed lots of old plans to be
grandfathered in. Obamas
decision may have undercut
the law more deeply than he
anticipated.
Yet, as people cycle out of
grandfathered plans, insurers will close them down and
more people will find themselves shopping in ACA marketplaces with superior patient
protections. This is the point:
The rate of uninsured people
probably wont be dramatically
different.
That might not last if premium spikes deter lots of people
from buying insurance or
drive existing customers out of
the marketplaces. But theres
not much evidence to suggest
this will happen. A Kaiser
Family Foundation analysis
found that, weighted by the
number of enrollees, the average national premium increase
is 3.6 percent.
True, national figures such
as these mask sharp differences from state to state. Some
saw premium spikes of more
than 30 percent; others saw
decreases. Yet many health
industry experts predict nominal prices will settle down
from here, as insurers get better at predicting their costs.
Moreover, nominal premiums
arent what most people pay,
because most on the marketplaces get federal subsidies.
Taking those into account,
Kaiser found that average
prices will decline next year
even in many of the premiumspike states.
So, what are the challenges?
Subsidizing people who are
buying more expensive insurance will cost the government
more, so policymakers will
have to keep an eye on the fiscal impact. And HHS admits
the remaining uninsured will
be harder to reach than those
who signed up early, making
the effort to drive down uninsurance rates and bolster the
stability of insurance markets
harder from here. Instead of
wasting more time on repealing the law or key components,
such as the Cadillac tax,
Congress should be looking
at changes that would help
the ACA finish the phasing-in
process.

Parent helps
put a bill
for tax relief
in Congress
By U.S. Rep. John Moolenaar
s a lifelong Michigan resident and your representative in Congress, I believe

the best solutions to our nations
problems come not from
Washington, but from individuals and groups here in the 4th
Congressional District, and
around the country.
Earlier this year, one constituent had just such an idea.
Like parents across Michigan,
this constituent and his family,
with three children younger than
5, are facing increasing child
care costs. In Michigan, average
costs are about $10,000 a year.
His employer allows them to
use a flexible savings account to
pay for their child care. An FSA
of up to $5,000 is available for a
married couple and up to $2,500
for an individual filer.
In Michigan, we see rising
costs in our grocery bills, health
care and, for those with young
children, the cost of child care.
However, while the cost of child
care is increasing, the amount
of this tax benefit remains the
same.
So, in an email to my office,
this constituent suggested our
tax code should be updated to
allow the tax-free benefit to
increase with the rate of inflation.
Now his idea is a bill in the U.S.
House of Representatives.
In June, I introduced H.R.
2891, my first as your representative. It would adjust the FSA to
the rate of inflation each year,
allowing the benefit to reflect the
reality of rising child care costs.
This tax relief would directly
benefit the American middle
class. The Flexible Savings
Account is offered by 58 percent
of companies with 50 to 499
employees and 85 percent of
companies with 500 to 4,999
employees.
I look forward to working in
Congress to pass this legislation
on behalf of Michigan families. If
H.R. 2891 becomes law, Michigan
parents would be able to invest
more toward the care of their
children without being penalized
by the tax code.
This bill is only one step
in making our nations tax
code simpler and fairer for
Americans. Not only will real tax
reform provide relief to families,
but analysis by the bipartisan
Joint Committee on Taxation has
found a simpler, fairer tax code
would create 1.8 million private
sector jobs over 10 years.
Until such an overhaul
becomes law, simple fixes like
H.R. 2891 should be passed to
provide meaningful tax relief for
middle class families.
I am honored that a hardworking family in our district reached
out to my office to share their
situation. As your representative
in Congress, I hope you will continue to communicate your ideas
to me.

THE JUSTICE SYSTEM
Mistrust of police has roots in

old South (and North) patrols
By Stephen Carter
Bloomberg View
n taking up the topic of the

historical roots of the continuing mistrust between
law enforcement and the black
community, my intention is not
to impugn the integrity of police
officers anywhere. Yet if we
dont study the past, well never
understand the present, and the
history of policing in America is
deeply intertwined with the violence of racial oppression.
Hard though it might be to
believe, most historians accept
that among the direct precursors to the modern police force
were the slave-catching patrols
of the old South. That doesnt
mean other events had no influence. It does mean that we need
to understand the patrols to
understand where we are now.
In the late 18th and early 19th
centuries, most Northern communities used a night-watch
system to keep order. The night
watchman rarely made a circuit
of the town, but stayed at his
post, prepared to be summoned
when a crime occurred.
The slave patrols, by contrast,
did what the name suggests
they patrolled. In most of
the South the members of the
patrol were recruited from, and
had special responsibility for, a
particular small area known as
a beat thus the origin of our
contemporary term.
The slave patrols, the
dreaded paterollers, are
remembered best for tracking
down runaways and ferreting
out potential uprisings, but
many scholars think they had
a more important day-to-day
role. Those held in bondage
in the South were seen as the
greatest potential source of
crime, including theft, assault,
and sabotage of agricultural
equipment. There was a steady
traffic in pilferage, valuables
being sold to free black railroad
workers who would carry them
North and resell them. By the
reckoning of the slavocracy, the
anti-crime patrols were being
sent exactly where they were
needed.
Small surprise, then, that free
white citizens were required
to join the patrols if called.
Given recent events, its a poignant historical irony that in
the 1830s, the slave patrol of
Charleston, South Carolina, had
more members than any city
police force in the North.
A woodcut from the abolitionist Anti-Slavery Almanac (1839) depicts the capture of a fugitive slave by a
slave patrol. (Wikimedia Commons)
Despite legal codes purporting to control them, the patrollers were feared and reviled
for their cruelty. A freedman
named Lewis Garrard Clarke
wrote that the patrols were the
tooth and tongue of serpents ...
the meanest, and lowest, and
worst of all creation.
CREATING THE FORCE
And yet, for all their horrors,

the slave patrols provided the
template for policing in its contemporary sense. Richmond,
Virginia, created a full-time
force only after Gabriel Prosser
led a slave uprising in 1800.
Other cities followed suit. Yet
three decades later, newspapers
in Charleston complained the
police were too few to control
the restive black population and
demanded an increase in the
number of ... patrollers.
The North, meanwhile, continued to rely on the watch
system. As late as the early
19th century, law enforcement
remained largely in the hands
of citizens, who would band
together to pursue miscreants.
Unified police departments
were not formed in northern
cities until the gang wars of
the 1840s. Immigrants saw
the police as an institution
created to keep them in their
place the same way black
Southerners viewed the slave
patrols.
Imbued with the police
power of the state, the patrols
worked under limitations that
built upon the English com-
mon law and are familiar even

today. They required a warrant to search slave quarters,
for example, unless they had
the permission of the owner.
Patrollers who used too much
force against runaways could
be prosecuted. In the celebrated
South Carolina case of State v.
Boozer (1850), an entire patrol
was fined after attacking a
group of slaves gathered for a
quilting, because the slaves all
had tickets from their masters
allowing them to attend. (The
rules, of course, stemmed from
the felt need to protect the property of the masters.)
KEEPING THEM DOWN
After the Civil War, the South

continued to worry about its
restive black population. One
consequence was the replacement of the patrollers by the Ku
Klux Klan and other groups of
night riders all described by
their apologists as providing
order in a lawless region. In the
telling of the defeated South,
the vicious Yankee occupiers
refused to prosecute freedmen
who broke the law, so private
citizens had to take matters into
their own hands.
Another consequence of
Southern fear was an early
version of community policing.
Southern cities began hiring
black officers in large part
because they were thought to
have expertise in how to deal
with the formerly enslaved
population, and because the
existence of black police would
keep the freedmen calm. (The

black police, however, could not
arrest whites.)
By that time, urban police
forces in the North had come
to serve as the hard edge of the
political machines. The forces
remained small relative to those
in the South one reason that
the anti-black and anti-Catholic
riots during and after the Civil
War so easily overwhelmed
public authority.
When at last the Northern
police forces began to grow,
they were organized very much
on the model pioneered by the
South. Officers walked beats
and were expected to keep
order largely through violence.
Not until the Progressive Era
did we see professionalization
of the police, with the establishment of formal training, academies and oversight.
And not until after World
War II was the goal truly
attained. By that time, a certain image of police tough,
well-armed, often cruel was
well-established in the popular
imagination. And the image has
never entirely faded.
As I said at the outset, my
point certainly isnt to criticize
police forces of today. But its
crucial for all of us, of every
color, to recognize how each
new incident of brutality constitutes a fresh and painful
brushstroke on a canvas that
the nation has been painting for
centuries.

GUEST COLUMN
You love bacon, but did you know these are myths?
By Mark Essig
The Washington Post
The recent linkage of eating

processed meats to getting cancer might put us off hot dogs or
ham. But bacon? You can pry it
from our cold, greasy fingers.
The adoration, however, is often
plagued by misinformation and
wishful thinking. Here are five
myths about it.
1. Bacon is delicious.
Well, it is now. The twin pairing of salt and smoke, fat and
meat cannot be equaled.
But historically speaking,
there has been far more bad
bacon than good bacon. Thats
because bacon, though now
a cult food, once served as a
survival ration. Pigs offered the
cheapest source of meat and fat
available.
In fact, until the 1950s we ate
more pork than beef, and most
of it was cured at home and
stored under questionable conditions. In other words, it wasnt
delicious in the least.
2. Bacon is belly meat.
Canadians make bacon from
pork loin, a lean cylindrical muscle; a slice is round and nearly
fat-free. English bacon is the loin
with an extra wedge of meat and
fat attached; a slice is shaped a
bit like a comet with a tail. Only
in the U.S. does bacon refer

exclusively to pork belly.
But before the Civil War,
bacon, in this country, referred
not to a part of the pig but to
a curing technique. Any meat
that had been dry-cured with
salt and smoke rather than
soaked in brine was called
bacon. The cut didnt matter; the
preparation did.
By the 1870s, Chicagos
meat-processing plants were
butchering over a million hogs
a year. Packers began grading
pork based on quality (prime,
mess or clear) and standardized the names of cuts. And at
some point along the way, the
term bacon became synonymous with belly meat.
3. Bacon is whats for breakfast.
Americans once typically ate
a fairly modest, meatless breakfast. But in the 1920s, on behalf
of the Beech-Nut corporation,
which had meat-packing interests, public relations pioneer
Edward Bernays helped convince the public, among other
things, that bacon and eggs was
the true all-American breakfast.
In the 1950s, as Roger
Horowitz details in Putting
Meat on the American Table,
pork packers automated their
production lines so that bellies

were compressed to uniform
thickness, needle-injected with
brine, machine-sliced, shuffled
into a shingle-like display, and
packed in clear plastic that let
customers admire the streaks of
lean and fat.
By the 1960s 60 percent
of American families bought
bacon, and in a reversal of traditional dining patterns, wealthier
families were now more likely
than poor families to have bacon
on the table.
4. Uncured bacon is nitratefree.
Since the middle Middle Ages,
bacon has been cured dried,
in other words, to preserve
it with nitrates. Originally
accomplished using salt and
smoke, saltpeter, a.k.a. potassium nitrate, was eventually
introduced.
Nitrates break bacteria down
into nitrites and add a distinctive flavor and a pinkish hue
that makes cured meat a far
more appetizing then the dull
gray it would otherwise be. Most
importantly, they kill the pathogens that cause botulism.
But consuming nitrites, the
Mayo Clinic tells us, could
increase your heart disease
risk. No one wants that, and for
years its been one reason weve

been warned off of cured meats.
As a workaround, many brands
offer uncured or nitrate-free
bacon.
Except those products typically contain celery powder
which, of course, sounds harmless. But like a number of vegetables, celery contains naturally
occurring nitrates, and here they
serve the same purpose as the
synthetic stuff.
5. Eating bacon is like smoking.
Nitrites are indeed cause for
concern. Once they enter the
body, they can transform into
what are known as N-nitroso
compounds, which have been
linked to bowel cancer.
The World Heath
Organization placed smoking,
asbestos and smoked meats in
the same category because all
have solid links to cancer. But
that doesnt mean all three have
the same level of risk. As Wired
explained, smoking increases
your relative risk of lung cancer
by 2,500 percent; eating two
slices of bacon a day increases
your relative risk for colorectal
cancer by 18 percent.

Will contracts
help restore the
middle class?
Saginaw County-based
Morley Companies Inc.

100 jobs by the end of

project is ending.
en. Mike Shirkey once told

me that right to work
could make labor unions
stronger by forcing them to
be more responsive to their
members.
Shirkey, a Republican who
was one of the lead supporters
of Michigans 2012 right-towork law while in the House, is
a smart, affable fellow. But Ive
long thought this particular
defense of what he calls freedom to work was ludicrous.
At its core, right to work is
about starving unions of the
money they need to organize
workers, negotiate contracts
and support political candidates, primarily Democrats.
Right-to-work laws prohibit
workers from being required
to pay union dues as a condition of employment.
But maybe theres something to Shirkeys contention
that unions could become
stronger under right to work.
Most United Auto Workers
union members employed at
the Detroit Three automakers
must be pleased with contracts
UAW bargainers recently have
negotiated.
(Voting totals looked
promising by UAW workers
at General Motors Co., but
werent expected to be tallied
until Saturday. The union then
will begin bargaining in earnest
with Ford Motor Co.)
Top-tier Fiat Chrysler workers will get their first general
wage increase in nine years, taking home an additional $20,000
over the next four years, according to a UAW contract summary.
Lower-tier workers will have a
path to achieve top-tier wages
within eight years.
Health care benefits are
maintained, profit sharing has
been improved and workers
will receive signing bonuses of
up to $4,000.
It took two tries for the UAW
to get the contract ratified.
But thats an example of the
union being responsive to its
members, something Shirkey
should appreciate.
A tentative GM contract is
similar to the one ratified at
Fiat Chrysler. But GM workers
would get an $8,000 signing
bonus. How big of a raise will
you be getting next year?
The UAW pretty much created the middle class in Michigan.
Union President Dennis
Williams has said his goal in the
new contracts is to restore it.
Whether that will happen is
questionable. The shrunken
UAW doesnt have nearly the
power to influence wages
and benefits paid to workers
in other industries that it did
decades ago.
Many economists point to
the declining power of labor
unions as a significant reason
for the decline of the middle
class. Some polls in the past
few years have shown an
increased interest by workers
in joining labor unions.
And unions, in partnerships
with community and faith
groups, have prompted at least
18 states to boost the minimum wage, according to the
Brookings Institution.
But theyve been dealt serious blows by right-to-work
laws, backed by conservative
business groups.
What unions have failed
to do is convert the general
desire for a union into a successful popular backlash
against these measures,
Brookings fellow Vanessa
Williams recently wrote.
Thats just the way Shirkey
and fellow right-to-work warriors like it.

Grant money to ght

campus sexual assault
The family that owns Little

Caesars Pizza, the Detroit Tigers and
the Detroit Red Wings has donated
$40 million to build a new business
school at Wayne State University.
The U.S. is speeding toward what

could be a record year for auto sales.
Michigan is awarding $500,000

in grant money to help 22 universities, colleges and community colleges implement new strategies to
fight campus sexual assault, First
Lady Sue Snyder announced.
The Detroit university announced Mike

and Marian Ilitch made the gift to build the
school near the new Red Wings arena and
entertainment district under development.
The donation includes $35 million and
the use of the land for the facilitys construction, as well as a $5 million endowment. The Mike Ilitch School of Business is
set to open in 2018.
Marian and I have experienced in our
own lives how entrepreneurship creates
opportunity, builds community and drives
philanthropy, Mike Ilitch said in a statement.
Were thrilled to work with Wayne State
to bring those same values to the next generation of Detroit entrepreneurs.
Sales of new cars and trucks rose by

double-digit percentages at most major
automakers in October, and companies
are raising their expectations for the rest
of the year. Ford expects total U.S. sales
of 17.4 million this year, topping the record
of 17.35 million from 2001.
General Motorss U.S. sales rose almost
16 percent over last October. Ford and
Toyota reported 13 percent gains. Nissan
sales rose 12.5 percent over a year ago, and
Fiat Chryslers were up nearly 15 percent.
Honda sales rose 8.6 percent. Volkswagen,
mired in an emissions-cheating scandal,
posted a small gain.
U.S. sales rose 14 percent to nearly
1.5 million, according to Autodata Corp.
It was the best October since 2001, when
zero-percent financing offers after the
Sept. 11 terrorist attacks pushed sales to
more than 1.6 million.
Im a big believer we have to talk about

these tough problems to get them solved,
and everybodys just been sweeping it
under the rug, said Snyder, who is heading up an initiative to end campus sexual
assault.
Snyder first announced the Campus
Sexual Assault Grant Program in August.
The state received 33 grant applications from schools requesting a combined
$1.6 million in funding to combat sexual
assault, suggesting demand for additional
assistance. Central Michigan was awarded
$29,363, while Saginaw Valley State
University was given $34,321.

CONAGRA TRIES A NEW RECIPE

The food giant ConAgra, which makes Slim Jim,
Chef Boyardee and other packaged foods, has
discovered that making food for supermarkets and
others to put their own label on is no recipe for
growth.
The company said this week that it is selling most
of its private label operations to TreeHouse Foods
for $2.7 billion, just two years after it entered the
business by buying Ralcorp for $5 billion.
The activist investment firm Jana Partners, which
owns 3 percent of ConAgra shares, has been
pressuring the company for months to sell the
business, saying ConAgras results have been
disappointing since it bought Ralcorp.
ConAgra will use the proceeds to pay down its debt
and plans to renew its focus on its own brands. The
companys big loss has an upside: ConAgra will get
a tax loss carryforward of roughly $1.6 billion that
can be used to offset potential future capital gains.
While analysts welcomed the sale, Morningstars
Erin Lash remains skeptical about the companys
future. ConAgras second-tier brands dont fetch the
same prices as more popular products, Lash said.
She expects the company to slim down further,
perhaps by selling its languishing frozen foods
business.

Unemployment applications
reach ve-week high
By Victoria Stilwell
Bloomberg News
The number of
Americans filing for
unemployment benefits
climbed to the highest
level in five weeks, representing a pause in the
recent progress that left
claims at their lowest
level since 1973.
Applications increased
by 16,000 to 276,000 in
the week ended Oct. 31,
a Labor Department
report showed Thursday.
It marked the biggest
advance since the end of
February, while the level
exceeded the Bloomberg
survey median estimate
of 262,000. The four-week
average of claims climbed
from the lowest in four
decades.
Employers intent on
ensuring skilled workers
remain on their payrolls
have been holding the
line on dismissals, making adjustments to hiring
plans instead in response
to the slowdown in overseas economies. A report

260,000.
No states estimated
data last week and there
was nothing unusual
in the data, the Labor
Department said.
Another report,
released at the same
time, showed productivity
unexpectedly climbed at
a 1.6 percent annualized
rate in the third quarter,
while labor costs climbed
less than forecast.
The four-week average
of jobless claims, a lessvolatile measure than
the weekly figure, rose
to 262,750 from 259,250
the week before, which
was the lowest since
December 1973.
The number of people
continuing to receive jobless benefits increased by
17,000 to 2.16 million in
the week ended Oct. 24.
In that same period,
the unemployment rate
among people eligible
for benefits held at 1.6
percent, where its been
since mid-September, the
report showed.
Federal Reserve
policy makers, who have
a dual mandate of full
employment and stable
prices, are weighing data
including jobless claims
as they gauge whether
the economy is strong
enough to withstand the
first interest-rate increase
since 2006.
In testimony to U.S. lawmakers on Wednesday,
Fed Chairwoman Janet
Yellen said an improving
economy has set the stage
for a December rate hike,
should data continue to
indicate that inflation will
accelerate over time.

Government or Official
on the envelope, they take
notice.
But rather than an official notice from a municipality, you might be looking at a pitch from a company thats trying to fool
you into thinking you need
the services they provide.
One common mailing
thats disguised as an official document is a solicitation to order a copy of the
deed for your home.
Some homeowners like
to have copies on hand in

the case of an emergency
or for estate planning concerns.
But you dont have to use
a costly service to get your
copy.
Earlier this year,
Monmouth, New Jersey,
County Clerk Christine
Giordano Hanlon warned
consumers. Depending on
the company, the prices
charged range from
$79.50 to $89.
Instead, and for a very
minimal fee, residential
and commercial property
owners can request and
receive a copy of their

deed, and other property
documents, directly from
the Monmouth County
Clerks Office, said Hanlon.
This scam isnt new.
From 2007 to 2013, her
county learned there were
approximately 500 to
700 people per year
who fell for it.
It died down a bit since
2013, but in 2015, theres
been an uptick.
The offer is simple. The
company will provide a
certified copy of your deed
for a fee.
A homeowner can
obtain a plain copy for

.05 cents per page at the
Monmouth County Clerks
Office or at no charge electronically from the County
Clerks land records website, Hanlon said. If a
homeowner would like the
Clerks Office to provide a
certified copy, it is $10 for
the certification, and
$1.50 per page.
