Dogs won’t be allowed on trail near cemeteryBy RALPH [email protected]

IRONWOOD — The Ironwood CityCommission Monday took no action on aproposal to allow dogs in an undevelopedarea of city property adjacent to RiversideCemetery.

Noting considerable public oppositionto the proposal, commissioners considereddraft language for an ordinance to allow

dogs on the trail near the cemetery, butdidn’t act on it.

Commissioner Gemma Lamb noted ifthe ordinance allowing dogs in the unde-veloped area was approved by the citycommission, it would go to a public meet-ing. She said a lot of people misunderstoodthe proposed change, thinking approvalwould allow dogs in the cemetery. Thatwas never the intention of the proposed

ordinance changes.Commissioner Will Lucius said a public

hearing would be “a waste of time and thecity’s resources.” Commissioner Kim Cor-coran said she feels the same way.

As a result, no one made a motion forthe ordinance change that Mayor BobBurchell said came from the city parksand recreation committee.

Dogs have not been allowed in the

cemetery since around 2000. IronwoodPublic Safety Department co-director RonCarpenedo said he couldn’t recall any citi-zens’ complaints about dogs prior to 2000or after they were prohibited.

Lamb said the move to prohibit dogsfrom the cemetery came after two dogs onthe north side of Coolidge Avenue were

rate, and a grant for $2.4 million.The council approved invoices

using project funds to pay for$3.9 million in refinancing of pre-vious sewer work (currentlybeing repaid at 4.5 percent inter-est), $285,000 in engineeringcosts for AECOM, and roughly$11,000 for project legal, adver-tising and filing fees. Siira saidthese invoices still need to beapproved by the USDA.

For project construction,AECOM project manager MikePond recommended low bidderSnow Country Contracting, inBessemer Township, for thework. The council accepted itsbid March 4 in a special meetingfollowing the end of bidding inFebruary.

Though the project initiallyfocused on new sanitary sewerlines for Castile, Plymouth andWico locations, Siira said the lowbid, which came in at $3.7 mil-lion rather than $4.1 million,allowed the city to explore addi-tional work, such as extra waterlines and more lift stationimprovements.

“The construction bids camein a little less than anticipated.I’ve been working with MikePond to identify different pro-jects that could be done,” Siirasaid.

In a previous interview, Siirasaid construction might begin inMay.

In other business, the council:—Adopted a resolution com-

mitting the city to pay the localshare of a Michigan NaturalResources Trust Fund grant,should the application for it besuccessful. The $100,000 grantapplication, with a 25 percentlocal share, would renovate vari-ous Eddy Park facilities, includ-ing the restrooms, change housesand the pier.

—Set March 28 as the firstreading and April 11 as the sec-ond reading and public hearingfor an ordinance which woulddefine where medical marijuanadispensaries could be establishedin Wakefield. Siira’s report saidthe ordinance is meant to pre-empt any confusion, shouldsomeone approach the city abouta dispensary. The ordinancewould allow such a dispensaryonly in the downtown/highwaycommercial district. Siira saidGogebic County Sheriff PeteMatonich recommended the ordi-nance after passage of the Michi-gan Medical Marijuana Act.

—Authorized city electricdepartment working foremanJohn Granato and other city staffto seek bids for a foldingmachine, which would let the citysend an energy bill to a customeras a single, enveloped document,rather than the two “postcardbills” they currently receive.Granato said he would seek arefurbished machine — a newone could cost about $10,000. He

and Siira also predicted themachine would quickly pay foritself in reduced postage costs.

—Approved a Consumer Con-fidence Report regarding thecity’s drinking water, copies ofwhich will be sent to the GogebicRange Water Authority, Indian-head Mountain Resort, BlackjackSki Resort, as well as Wakefieldand Bessemer townships. Thereport is available to the publicupon request.

This time around, dog ownerswould have been able to walktheir animals on leashes enter-ing the undeveloped area of thecemetery from Coolidge, wherethe walking trail starts, or the

visitors’ center on U.S. 2.The proposed amendment

would have required dog ownersto clean up waste from their ani-mals along the trail.

Commissioner Rick Semo saidwhile allowing dogs on the walk-ing trail would make it moreattractive for visitors, it’s impor-

tant that the commission“respect the wishes of people whodon’t want dogs in the cemeteryproper.”

Commissioners briefly dis-cussed sending the ordinance toa public hearing, but afterLucius’s remarks, they decided tolet sleeping dogs lie.


county attorney Richard Adams.If there is concrete that must be removed, the

airport board agreed Ruotsala can begin workingas soon as proof of the bond is available.

Ruotsala agreed the $3,200 cost for X-raying theground in front of the new terminal building(already paid by the airport) will come out of theamount still owed the contractor, $83,232, whichincludes an additional $10,545 for costs stemmingfrom a change order in May 2010.

The board also agreed the current attorneyswould stay involved until the work is done.

In the meantime, the airport board may be fac-ing a $13,000 billing from project engineers Mead& Hunt of Lansing for extra work by the firmbecause of the concrete issue, Adams said.

Airport manager Duane DuRay said Mead &Hunt initially requested $35,030, but that amountwas dropped to $13,000 after negotiating withAdams.

Prior to the counter-proposal, a tentative agree-ment drafted by Adams said Mead & Huntapproved leaving most of the concrete in theground, “except a large piece of concrete near thenew canopy support beams,” with Ruotsala Con-struction to provide a warranty bond for 10 years.

The council approved a six-month moratorium on medicalmarijuana dispensaries in thevillage. Village manager ScottFrazer said the Ontonagon Vil-lage Planning Commission isworking on zoning the villageafter the bridge was built andwill need to determine where thezoning would apply to the issue.

“We need to hold off any appli-cations until something is inplace. The village council isrequired to hold a public hearingon the moratorium,” said Frazer.“Once the zoning plan comesthrough we will be able to dis-cuss the marijuana issue.”

Frazer said L’Anse has beendoing a lot of work on the issue.

The issue of a demolition ordi-nance is being studied by attor-ney Kevin Mackey, Frazer said.“It is turning out to be a lengthyprocess and looking at otherexamples could turn out to be a

large document. He said that abuilding inspector is needed to doinspections and something wouldhave to be worked out with localinspectors. If not licensed inspec-tors the findings would not bevalid. We need that to have theclout we hope to have,” he added.

The board reviewed the pro-posed budget for the coming fis-cal year. Frazer said he antici-pates a reduction of real propertyas much as 5 percent, reductionin personal property taxes and$35,000 less in revenue sharing.

The council was able to viewthe proposed sign to be placedoutside the Ontonagon HistoricalMuseum. Steve DeLong,Keweenaw Heritage Site official,said he has OK’d the applicationof the historical society for thesign, but since the village ownsthe land, it would need villageapproval. The approximately 12-foot sign would be similar toother Keweenaw Heritage Sitesigns advertising the OntonagonCounty Historical Museum andLighthouse Tours and the Onton-

‘Out of the Wild’ to primetimeIRONWOOD — Ironwood resident Brad Strand, a star of the Dis-

covery Channel’s “Out of the Wild” survival show, is getting bumpedto prime time.

“Out of the Wild,” which had been airing Thurs-days at 9 p.m. CDT, has moved to 6 p.m. CDT Thurs-days.

“I’ve heard the ratings are good, so they wantedto move it to a more conducive time slot,” Strandsaid. “A lot of people have been asking me about itat work and on the street.”

Strand said he’s glad there’s so much interest inthe show, both locally and nationally.

The show details Strand and eight other Ameri-cans’ attempts to navigate out of a treacherouswilderness in Venezuela, rife with perils such aspredatory or venomous animals, flash floods and a lack of supplieslike food and water.

Though Strand lived the show, he said he’s enjoyed seeing how hislong adventure was edited down into the short series.

“It’s nice to see what happened instead of hearing about it,”explaining that camera crews were able to monitor all the partici-pants even when they separated.

Nick Keller of Richmond, Minn., stretches his legs and takes in the view during a recent 60-day ride forcancer as part of the Snowball Cancer Challenge 2011. Keller completed his 22,150-mile ride on Feb. 23.

Keller rides to fight cancerBy MARGARET [email protected]

Nick Keller of Richmond,Minn., broke his own worldrecord on Feb. 23 as he clocked22,150 miles on his snowmobilein 60 days.

Last year, Keller set therecord while riding his snowmo-bile in the Hurley area. He thencontinued to ride until Feb. 23,2010, ending a 60-consecutive-day journey with a world recordof 19,506 miles.

The focus of Keller’s sleddinghas been to raise awareness andfunds for people with cancer aspart of the Snowball CancerChallenge, sponsored by theKeller Family Community Foun-dation, a nonprofit organizationformed by Keller and his family.

Keller clocked 552 miles in asingle day, snowmobiled 41,656miles in 120 days, and 43,150miles in two snowmobiling sea-sons. He ended Snowball CancerChallenge 2011 in his hometownof Richmond.

He began his 60-day trek onDec. 26, 2010, snowmobiling fromRichmond to Ironwood.

As Keller ended this year’schallenge on Feb. 23, Wade West,

snowmobile marketing managerfor Yamaha Corp., who was pre-sent at the finish, said, “We arevery proud to be working withNick and the KFCF. Obviously,he needed a sled that wouldn’tlet him down in his efforts, so theVector GT was a perfect fit. Whatwe didn’t expect was that he’dmake two 60-day rides, two yearsin a row.

“To have put on over 43,000miles in 130 days of documentedriding is simply amazing.”

Ron Kern, owner of A & CFarm Services and Yamaha, alsopresent at the finish said, “Weknew he was up to the challenge.If anyone could do it, we knewNick could do it. We are veryproud of Nick and KFCF.”

Keller attributes the long dis-tance snowmobile ride as aresponse to a joking challengefrom Kern two years ago.

“I had to think about it awhile,but then thought, ‘Yeah, I can doit,’” Keller said with a smile. “Andnow, look at where we are.”

Keller dedicated the last dayof his challenge to a dear friend,Claudia, who died from cancerearlier that morning.

Keller’s mother died 25 years

ago from breast cancer at the ageof 56 and he has many other fam-ily members and friends whohave been affected by cancer.

Keller is a founding memberof KFCF. He has been an avidsnowmobiler for 38 years. He is adistance snowmobiler, averagingin the past over 200 miles a dayand over 5,000 miles a season.

He is active in his local snow-mobile club and participates withthe local and state snowmobileassociations. Keller is alsoinvolved in various communityorganizations, volunteering histime, talents and financial sup-port.

Tax-deductible donations tothe foundation are accepted year-round and Snowball Cancer T-shirts can be purchased throughthe KFCF website, snowball-cancer.org. The site has informa-tion about how to donate or applyfor a grant from the foundation,photos and Nick’s Blogs. Informa-tion is also available on Facebookor Twitter under Snowball Can-cer or Keller Family CommunityFoundation. The foundation canalso be contacted at KFCF, POBox 164, Richmond MN 56368.

In Their Opinion

Sunshine Week, which recently began, is designed toraise awareness of the importance of keeping governmentopen and accessible to the people who own it: All of us.

A key victory for open government in Wisconsinoccurred last May when then-Gov. Jim Doyle signed intolaw a reporter’s shield bill protecting confidential sourcesand newsgathering materials.

Wisconsin’s Whistleblower Protection Act providesjournalists with an absolute privilege to withhold theidentity of confidential sources and a qualified privilege toprotect from disclosure of unpublished newsgatheringinformation.

While most people didn’t give this legislation a secondthought, we need look no further than Milwaukee JournalSentinel reporter Raquel Rutledge to understand itsimportance. Rutledge won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize forlocal reporting for uncovering widespread fraud in thestate’s taxpayer-funded program that subsidizes childcare for the working poor.

Rutledge got a tip from a source who wished to remainanonymous, obviously for fear of retribution if his or heridentity were revealed. Rutledge took the information,secured volumes of public records and then staked outresidences of so-called child care providers to see if anykids showed up. Often they didn’t.

Rutledge uncovered all kinds of fraud in the $350 mil-lion Wisconsin Shares program:

Some parents participated in a three-way scam inwhich a phony employer wrote the parent a bogus checkthat the parent showed the caseworker as proof ofemployment. Another friend would pose as a day careprovider, and when the parent received the governmentcheck everybody profited even though there was no joband no day care provided.

In other cases child care providers offered free gas,rent, vacations, cash rebates and other incentives toencourage parents to enroll their children in day carerather than school.

The crooks are still being rounded up, but the bottomline for taxpayers is tens of millions of dollars in fraudu-lent payments have been recovered. Without the help of awhistleblower and access to public records, the storiesmay never have been written and the crooks still would beoperating.

The other possibility is that court officials would havetried to force Rutledge to reveal her source, which wouldhave forced the reporter to possibly go to jail to protect thecivic-minded person who helped expose this monumentaltaxpayer rip-off to the light of day.

Fortunately, most public officials have nothing to hide.But when they do or when — as in the case of the childcare scandal — they aren’t even aware that crimes arebeing committed, it’s important for all citizens, not justjournalists, to have the tools necessary to expose wrong-doing.

At a time of federal dithering on blockingadvance of Asian carp into Lake Michigan, aU.S.-Canadian agency has just added itsimportant voice to spur “rapid response”efforts to make the Great Lakes a no-swimzone for this invasive threat.

The International Joint Commission lastweek issued its 15th Biennial Report with 32recommendations for action at the federal,state, provincial and local levels of govern-ment.

Emphasis of the report was on need for thetwo nations to approve a revised Great LakesWater Quality Agreement “that addressesthreats to water quality to prevent or reducetheir impact on human and ecological health”— the big threat being expanding growth ofalgae and other aquatic plants.

What particularly interested me in thereport was its section on aquatic invasivespecies, which touched on the block-the-carpissue being pushed on Capitol Hill by U.S.Rep. Dave Camp, R-Midland, and Democrat-ic Sen. Debbie Stabenow, and in Lansing byattorney general Bill Schuette. He, as formerattorney general Mike Cox before him, isworking with other states on legal battles torequire closing of locks leading to LakeMichigan.

The joint commission said: “With theAsian carp threatening to invade the GreatLakes, the report recommends using arevised agreement as a vehicle for the devel-opment and deployment of binational proto-cols for rapid response before invasivespecies enter the lakes.”

Action in Washington on Asian carp hasbeen far from rapid.

Describing another threat in its March 10story on the joint commission report, theAssociated Press said: “A resurgence of soupy,blue-green algae blooms in the Great Lakes

is an ominous sign of suffering water qualitythat poses health risks for people whodepend on lakes for drinking water, food andrecreation.”

The joint commission said: “Beach clos-ings, harmful algal growth, contaminatedgroundwater and alien invasive species areexamples of threats that are of greatest con-cern in the nearshore zone where most peo-ple live and get their drinking water andwhich provide vital habitat for fish andwildlife populations.” (The full report and asummary version can be accessed at ijc.org.)

“Human health must be highlighted as apriority concern of both countries in a revisedGreat Lakes Water Quality Agreement,”Lana Pollack, U.S co-chairwoman of the com-mission, said regarding current negotiationsby the two nations on updating the agree-ment. “Adding explicit provisions to protecthuman health based on sound science is oneof the most important things we can do.”

In a more pointed comment reported bythe A.P., she said programs that monitoredand controlled phosphorus have disappearedin the past 15 years, and “progress has lev-eled off and is actually sliding backward. Weneed to get our governments to recognizethat all is not well.”

Such blunt talk is typical Pollack-speak

for the former Democratic state senator fromAnn Arbor who ran the Michigan Environ-mental Council before her leadership role inthe joint commission.

Two other Michiganians in the Windsor-based Great Lakes Regional Office of thejoint commission are John Nevin, longtimecommunications specialist who was speech-writer for ex-Gov. John Engler, and DaveDempsey, former environmental adviser toex-Gov. Jim Blanchard and then policy spe-cialist under the Pollack-led MEC whorecently joined joint commission in a similarrole. Dempsey is author of numerous booksrelating to Great Lakes and other environ-mental issues.

Broder and MichiganIt’s doubtful that any national political

columnist wrote as much about Michigangovernors as Dave Broder of the WashingtonPost, who died last week at age 81.

That’s not just because he spent portionsof summers on Beaver Island at a familycabin built by his wife’s grandfather a centu-ry ago. It’s that during his long career, hepaid particularly close attention to the statesin the federal system and governors as forcesin presidential and other politics.

Former Republican State Chairman RustyHills, former aide to Engler and other politi-cians (and now with AG Schuette) had beeninterviewed about a dozen times and foundhim “always a classy gentleman.”

George Weeks, a member of the MichiganJournalism Hall of Fame, for 22 years was thepolitical columnist for The Detroit News andpreviously with UPI as Lansing Bureau Chiefand foreign editor in Washington. His weeklyMichigan Politics column is syndicated bySuperior Features.

By MICHAEL ASTORAssociated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — My wife Ivandy wasn’t due todeliver our son for another three months when her waterbroke. We rushed to the hospital where doctors said ourbaby’s world was drying up around him.

Nicholas was born weighing just 2 pounds, 2 ounces.His face was the size of an old-fashioned silver dollar andhis life seemed to hang from a passel of tubes and wiresconnected to beeping and sputtering machines.

In the days ahead, I learned to read monitors and hangon nervously as Nicholas’ oxygen levels dipped and rosealong with my heart. The Neonatal Intensive Care Unitbecame our second home.

As parents of preemies, we were plunged into a com-munity of experts and caregivers that we hardly knewexisted before.

And we had to learn to cope not just with our son’sneeds, but also with our sorrow, emotions and anxieties.

Before Nicholas’ birth, I’d seen pictures of tiny intu-bated children in incubators and assumed their mothershad health problems or issues like drug abuse. But Ilearned that about half the women who have pre-termbabies don’t fall into any known risk category, as was thecase with my wife, Ivandy.

MORE, SMALLER BABIES SURVIVEAbout 12.9 million premature babies are born around

the world each year. As medical advances allow morechildren to stay alive, that number is growing. In theUnited States, the number of pre-term infants hasincreased by 36 percent over the last 25 years.

Only recently have doctors started looking beyond sur-vival and focusing on improving outcomes for prematurechildren outside the NICU.

Children born prematurely may have learning disabil-ities, attention deficits, cerebral palsy, vision and hearingproblems, respiratory illnesses and other conditions.

Doctors are also finding that the trauma of prematurebirth can be devastating to parents, who may suffer fromdepression and anxiety disorders, including post-trau-matic stress disorder — the same condition that canafflict troops returning from war.

“Prematurity is not just a medical crisis, it’s a familycrisis. There are confusing, conflicting emotions,” explainsMara Tesler Stein, a clinical psychologist and co-author of“Parenting Your Premature Baby and Child.”

Stein compares parents’ experience of grieving afterthe birth of a premature child to that of losing a loved one— an especially confusing emotion when you are in factgaining a loved one.

Our first family portrait shows my wife in a hospitalbed and me leaning over, smiling and holding a Polaroidof Nicholas alone inside a plastic box, swallowed by hisdiaper, sensors trailing from his tiny fingers and feet, an

oxygen tube taped to his nose.My wife and I didn’t know whether to be

happy or sad. Should we send out birthannouncements? What if the baby doesn’tmake it? When I spoke to my father prior toNicholas’ birth, he was already offering condo-lences.

We attended one last baby preparednessclass after Nicholas was born but it felt awk-ward explaining to the expecting parents ourbaby was already born but not yet home. Italso felt like time better spent in the hospitalwith Nicholas.

TWINS BORN TOO SOONMost parents agree the hardest part of hav-

ing a premature child is leaving the babyalone in the NICU.

“I felt like I was abandoning them,”explains Melissa Orlando, a Colorado artteacher who gave birth to premature twins.“Goodness, they didn’t know if I was going tocome back. I did a lot of talking with themexplaining I was going home to sleep.”

The next hardest thing is the uncertainty:No one could give us a definitive prognosis forour baby because every premature child is dif-ferent.

Orlando’s twins quickly become over-stim-ulated, hiccuping and turning white if theywere handled too much — a common condi-tion among preemies.

Nicholas, by contrast, never suffered fromthis, nor did he need a respirator, feedingtube, or require brain surgery as did severalof the other children who shared the sameNICU. Nicholas’ issues would only becomeapparent later.

When Nicholas left the NICU I wasn’t suffering somuch from post-traumatic stress syndrome as an excessof pride that our child had appeared to have done so well.

I had almost forgotten the morning when I arrived atthe NICU to find a report taped to his incubator statingthat he had stopped breathing during the night. A doctorsaid we’d have to wait and see if there was any neurolog-ical damage.

PREDICTING OUTCOMES IS DIFFICULTDr. Brian Carter, director of the Neonatal Follow-up

Program at the Monroe Carell, Jr. Children’s Hospital atVanderbilt University in Nashville, says predicting out-comes for premature children is difficult because treat-ments are constantly evolving and often doctors onlylearn 10 years down the road “what were the rewards ofour interventions and the disabilities.”

“Many clinicians may be reluctant to glibly inform orsaturate or over-saturate a parent’s mind and agendawith all sorts of potential concerns that sound over-whelming and potentially very negative and frightful,”Carter explains.

In retrospect, we were lucky to have doctors whoremained unfailingly optimistic — even if they weren’talways entirely honest about all the obstacles that mightlie ahead.

Over the past decade, doctors have made manyadvances in techniques to improve the quality of care inthe NICU to lessen trauma and improve outcomes —including skin-to-skin contact, also called “kangaroocare”; encouraging breast milk over formula, and involv-ing parents more in baby care.

Almost from the outset, Ivandy was able to keep

Nicholas tucked between her breasts for most ofthe day.

When I watched him with Ivandy or held him inmy arms, I felt OK.

But when I was away, worries crept in. Would hewalk? Talk? Go to school like other kids? The fearswould snowball until I would sometimes cry andeven scream.

I spent almost all my spare time at the NICU,coming in after work and warbling to Nicholas off-key for a few hours each evening.

The nurses often let me stay long after visitinghours had ended, but it was hard to wake up forwork the next day.

“I think fathers can have a harder time attach-ing to their child, especially if the child’s really sick.Men tend to be fixers and if they can’t fix the situ-ation they really don’t quite know what to do withit,” explains Dianne Maroney, a NICU nurse andco-author of “Your Premature Baby and Child.”

Maroney, whose daughter was born premature,says parents should seek outside help and not relyexclusively on doctors to help overcome the obsta-cles facing their children.

“You have to learn to follow your gut instinct —my daughter is almost 17 and according to statis-tics she should be a very different child than she isand she’s really, really quite normal, and I believethat’s because I was willing to step outside the box

and try othert h i n g s , ”Maroney said.

When itcame time totake Nicholashome, the doc-tor told us totreat him likeany other child.

We later dis-covered he hadsuffered abrain injuryduring the inci-dent when he’dstopped breathing.

It had affected his motor coordination, requiringhim to use a walker.

It turns out such surprises are not uncommonfor parents of preemies.

And yet it’s not as bad as it seems.If I had a magic wand and could make every-

thing all better I wouldn’t hesitate for second, butat the same time I wouldn’t want to lose thestronger person I’ve become — a warrior, self-edu-cated physical therapist and passionate advocatefor allowing Nicholas to lead as normal life as pos-sible.

Then there’s also the incomparable joy that hascome from knowing and loving Nicholas.


PREEMIES ‘Fathers can have

a harder time

attaching to their

child ... if they

can’t fix the situa-

tion, they really

don’t quite know

what to do with

it..’

—DIANNE MARONEY

LONDON (AP) — Powerfulhusband? No problem. Money?Got that too. Clothes, good looks?Ditto. What does the woman whohas it all do after her honey-moon? That’s a tough one.

Kate Middleton’s fame isundeniable. She is already one ofthe world’s most talked-aboutwomen, and that will onlyincrease when she marriesPrince William next month. Buther royal role remains complete-ly undefined, and much rests onher slender shoulders.

If her marriage to PrinceWilliam is a joyous union thatproduces heirs, not tears andrecrimination, the young couplecould put the somewhat shakyBritish monarchy on solid foot-ing for generations to come. Butif it collapses into a replay ofPrince Charles’ I-hate-you-I-hate-you-more donnybrook withLady Di, the impact on theHouse of Windsor would be

grave.Journalism professor and

newspaper columnist RoyGreenslade said William andMiddleton must rebuild publictrust that has been eroded byheir-to-the-throne PrinceCharles — because of his failedmarriage and perceived eccen-tricities — and by scandal-boundPrince Andrew. The British pub-lic still reveres the queen, hesaid, but has doubts about herfour children, including PrincessAnne, who is divorced, and thenondescript Prince Edward.

“The glue that holds themonarchy together is the queen,but there is a great deal moreskepticism and even cynicismabout the next generation,” hesaid. “You have a dysfunctionalfamily, so it really falls onWilliam and Kate to actually bean upright couple that canengage with the public and beglamorous at the same time. It’s

fine with the queen on thethrone, and Charles won’t reignfor long, so it really does fall tothe next generation to rescuethem.”

Restoring the frayed bondbetween crown and subjects isvital, Greenslade said, becausethe monarchy will suffer a sub-stantial blow when the queendies, and also faces the very realthreat that Australians willdecide to sever ties to the Britishmonarch in the next decade, like-ly giving republicans in Britain aboost.

That’s a lot of pressure for ayoung woman who already facesthe formidable task of marryinginto a rather imposing family.

“Her prime objective is tobecome a wife, and a good wife,”said Dickie Arbiter, a formerroyal spokesman who expectsMiddleton to give up her night-clubbing ways once she becomesa princess on April 29.

Neil Diamond, Alice Cooper inducted into Rock HallNEW YORK (AP) — New Orleans piano maestro

Dr. John wore a bright purple suit for his inductioninto the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Monday,leading a class with Neil Diamond, Alice Cooperand Tom Waits.

Singer Darlene Love, whose voice cut throughPhil Spector’s “Wall of Sound,” called her inductioninto the Hall her best 70th birthday present.

Pianist Leon Russell also was to be inducted at ablack-tie dinner at The Waldorf-Astoria hotel inManhattan. A tape of the ceremony is to air March20 on Fuse.

Dr. John said he felt “like I’m blessed to besinging, to be breathing.”

He was inducted by singer John Legend, whorecalled meeting him at a benefit for HurricaneKatrina relief. Legend said the new Hall of Famemember has been a leading global ambassador forNew Orleans and its special musical gumbo.

“He has never stopped flying the flag of funk,”Legend said. “Tonight, he is definitely in the rightplace at the right time.”

That was a reference to one of Dr. John’s best-known songs, “Right Place, Wrong Time,” with AllenToussaint and the Meters.

Love fought back tears in her acceptance speech,saying she had faith that the gift God gave herwould sustain her for the rest of her life.

She was inducted with a comic ramble by Bette

Midler, who said she was a goner when she firstheard Love’s voice on a transistor radio.

“Listening to her songs, you had to dance, youhad to move, you had to keep looking for that rebelboy,” Midler said.

Love lent her powerful voice to several of Spec-tor’s hits, in acts such as the Crystals and Bob B.Soxx and the Blue Jeans. Her “Christmas (BabyPlease Come Home)” is a holiday standard: She

sang on U2’s cover and performs it every Decemberon David Letterman’s show.

The Brooklyn-born Diamond wrote pop-rock hitsfor himself (“Solitary Man”) and others (The Mon-kees’ “I’m a Believer”). Presidential daughter Caro-line Kennedy was the inspiration for “Sweet Caro-line,” now a Boston Red Sox anthem. Diamond set-tled into a comfortable career as a middle-of-the-road concert favorite, although he made some chal-

lenging recordings in recent years with producerRick Rubin.

He said before the ceremony that he had flownin from a concert tour in Australia for his inductionand was flying back when it was done.

Alice Cooper is the stage name for singer Vin-cent Furnier and his band, known for 1970s erahard rock songs “Eighteen,” “No More Mr. NiceGuy” and “Schools Out.” Their concerts weresteeped in horror movie theatrics, and singer RobZombie was to salute them Monday.

Songwriter Waits is well-versed in blues, poetryand ballads, with songs rough and romantic. Sever-al of his Hall of Fame predecessors have recordedhis work, including Bruce Springsteen (“JerseyGirl”), the Ramones (“I Don’t Want to Grow Up”),Rod Stewart (“Downtown Train”) and Johnny Cash(“Down There By the Train”). Another California-based songwriter, Neil Young, was to pay tribute toWaits on Monday.

Russell’s long hair and beard gave him a distinc-tive look, but it’s the piano player’s songs — partic-ularly “Delta Lady” and “A Song for You” — thatmade him memorable. His career has recently beenrevived through a collaboration with Elton John,who was to induct him.

Elektra Records founder Jac Holzman and Spe-cialty Records founder Art Rupe were to be induct-ed in the non-performer category.

NEGAUNEE — The tour-nament trail came to a deadend for the Ewen-Trout Creekboys Monday night as theydropped a 95-75 basketballdecision to the hot-shootingBaraga Vikings in a Class Dregional opener.

Baraga (16-8), which sank36-of-57 field goals, returns tothe Negaunee High Schoolgym for Wednesday’s titlegame against defendingchamp Superior Central (22-1). Tip-off is set for 7 p.m.EDT.

The top-ranked Cougarsadvanced with a 74-62 con-quest of North Central.

“They (Baraga) did every-thing right and were veryquick on the floor,” said E-TCcoach Brad Besonen. “Theybroke us down and got layups.They also hurt us on the offen-sive boards. Their seniorsplayed with a sense of urgen-cy. They were in every passinglane.”

E-TC (18-6), starting ajunior, three sophomores anda freshman, led 34-33 midwaythrough the second quarter.

Junior forward JordanLaPlant, however, soon pickedup his third foul. And much tothe Panthers’ dismay, Baragafinished the period with a 16-6run for a 49-40 halftime cush-ion.

“They took Jordan right outof the game with his foul tou-ble,” said Besonen. “He’s our

floor leader. It was tough hav-ing Jordan out of the lineup.”

Baraga started the thirdquarter with a 6-0 run, gain-ing a 55-40 advantage on JohnBower’s putback 80 secondsinto the period.

The Vikings, continuing torun the floor with authority,extended their advantage to76-51 after the third quarterand 89-55 on a layup by seniorguard Brent VanAlstine with5:44 left to play.

“He (VanAlstine) is a shiftykid,” said Baraga coach JonYoung. “His change of direc-tion is what gives opposingplayers trouble. He also doesan excellent job changingspeed in transition.”

VanAlstine finished with 31points in Baraga’s three-guardoffense. Alden Connor added19 points and nine rebounds.Justin Hartzog hit 16 pointsand Zack Sauvola had 10 in areserve role.

“He (VanAlstine) was onfire tonight,” said Besonen.“We didn’t have an answer forhim. Although, I thought wetook three charges from himin the first half, which was agame-changer. We also didn’thustle back on defense to takethings away.”

LaPlant scored 19 pointsand sophomore Dillon Gordonhit 16, all in the first half forthe Panthers who beat Baragaby 18 points in their lone reg-ular-season meeting.

“We kept pressure on him

Tyler Gottschalk of Ironwood slips around Norway defender Jon Reath in the second halfMonday in a Class C regional semi-final at Escanaba.

By JASON [email protected]

ESCANABA — Norway frustrated Ironwoodoffensively and ended the Red Devils’ special sea-son with a 59-47 victory in Monday’s Class Cregional semifinal at Escanaba Senior HighSchool.

The Devils (18-6) kept pace with the Knightsthrough a fast-paced first quarter as Norway led22-18 going into the second.

Norway (9-14), which has peaked at the righttime after a season full of injuries, never trailedand outscored the Devils 16-15 in a sluggish mid-dle two quarters before pulling away in the fourth.Ironwood couldn’t get into a rhythm offensively,struggled to get clean shots off at times and onlymade two of its six 3-pointers after the first quar-ter.

“They played excellent defense,” Ironwoodcoach Pete Lewinski said of the Knights. “Mid PenConference, those teams beat each other up everynight. They knew (Tyler) Gottschalk and (Adam)Mackey were our top two scorers and they made uswork for every shot we got.”

Gottschalk still managed a game-high 21 pointsand Mackey had 13. They combined for four 3-pointers. They had combined for eight of Iron-wood’s 10 3-pointers in Friday’s 53-38 district finalwin over Calumet.

“We were worried about 10 (Mackey) and 12(Gottschalk). Both of them are really good shoot-ers,” Norway coach and White Pine native BenLeiker said. “(Mackey) is more of a set shooter thatwants to shoot the 3 more than anything else. Weworked on his tendencies in practice. (Gottschalk)is a jump shooter and a slasher, so he was a toughcover for us.”

The Knights jumped out to a 13-6 lead. TheDevils answered with two quick 3s fromGottschalk and John Colassaco to pull within 13-12, but Norway struck quickly again and led 20-12as Jon Reath (6-7) scored twice inside and TannerKelly hit a 3.

Gottschalk’s jumper capped a 6-2 Ironwood runto end the first quarter. Norway led 22-18 afterone.

The pace slowed considerably in the secondquarter as neither team scored until Norway’sJalen Bal hit a jumper 2:28 into the quarter.

Mike Gotham scored underneath later in thequarter to pull Ironwood with four points, 26-22.But the Knights scored the final five points of thehalf as Bal hit a 3-pointer and Traves Guldswogmade two free throws for a 31-22 halftime lead.

The Devils made two runs in the second half,but Norway had an answer both times.

Henry Moon drilled a 3 to start the half andGottschalk made a jumper to pull within 31-27.

(Gordon) consistently all night,”said Young. “He’s a good shooter,but I think we wore him down.Containing him in the secondhalf was a key.

“In the regular-season game,they got out and ran so well onus, and we didn’t do a real goodjob defending that. Lately, we’vebeen playing the full game andit’s making a difference. The bot-tom line is our guys just wantedit tonight.”

Turnovers were nearly evenwith 15 for E-TC and 14 forBaraga.

Despite the setback, Besonensays the Panthers had a goodseason.

“We’re very pleased with theseason,” he added. “We’ve reallyimproved. Only, it stinks to have

a game like this in the end whenyou know you’ve improved. Wealso have to give Baraga somecredit. They’re playing well rightnow. They beat one of the betterteams (Chassell) to get out oftheir district.”

Norway scored the next fivepoints to take a 36-27 lead.

After Norway went up 38-28on two Reath free throws,Gotham scored underneath andMackey hit a corner 3 near thebuzzer to pull the Devils within38-33 going into the fourth.

The Devils couldn’t find anopen look early in the final quar-ter. When Ironwood had a chanceto make it a one-possessiongame, Ironwood had an emptypossession and a charge.

Reath, who had 13 points, hita basket and later a free throw tomake the margin eight, 41-33,which was fairly typical on Mon-day.

“We just couldn’t get over thehump, the old cliché,” Lewinskisaid. “Give Norway credit, theywithstood our runs tonight.”

Gottschalk hit a free throw topull within seven and Ironwoodreceived a technical foul on JohnColassacco three seconds later.Bal made three of four freethrows to put Norway ahead 44-34.

Ironwood fouled the Knightsfrom there and they made mostof their free throws to maintainthe lead.

The Devils won last week’sdistrict with defense and Norwayeliminated Ironwood withdefense.

“The team we have here is nota super talented team,” Leikersaid. “So we have to really playhard on defense, we have tomaintain position and hustle asmuch as we can. That’s what wedid. I think we frustrated them alittle in that second half. Theyweren’t getting the shots thatthey wanted.”

Not one bounce seemed to goIronwood’s way. A half in, half

out free throw by Gottschalkcame out. Loose balls alwaysseemed to careen to Norway.

“The ball didn’t bounce ourway, but sometimes you’ve got tomake them bounce your way,”Lewinski said. “It was a struggletonight. The kids never quitthough, which I was happywith.”

Leiker said Norway has to winthose battles and it did Monday.

“We can’t afford to give up pos-sessions because we’re not ahigh-powered offense,” he said.“We don’t have a great scorer togo to, we can’t rely on jumpshooting. In order for us to wingames, we have to win the hustlepoints, we’re going to have to getall the loose balls and rebound ashard as we can.”

After the buzzer sounded, athree-quarters court heave byIronwood’s Bryant Rowe went in,which got a loud cheer from thebig Ironwood following.

“The fans were outstanding,”Lewinski said of this season. “Itold the seniors I thought theybrought a little enthusiasm backinto the gym this year.”

Ironwood loses seniors Moon,Colassaco, Gottschalk, Hewittand Gotham. Lewinski saidGotham played good defense onReath once he started guardinghim after Reath had a solid firstquarter.

Lewinski said there is nothingfor the Devils to hang theirheads about.

“(Gottschalk) had an out-standing career, very fine player,very fine athlete,” Lewinski said.“Mike Gotham, unsung hero, dida lot for this team, assist leader,rebound leader, very good defen-sive player. His inside presenceis going to be missed. HenryMoon, a very good point guard.

Johnny Colassaco, four-yearstarter, stepped up in variousspots of the game. I thought Josi-ah had an outstanding tourna-ment with his quickness and hegave us tremendous minutescoming off the bench. Fiveseniors, plus Adam Mackey, justa great job this year.”

The tournament experienceshould help Mackey, who collidedwith Bal in the closing minutesas Mackey was trying to foul.Both left the court with bloodyfaces, Mackey had a cut abovehis eye, Lewinski said.

“He’s no longer a freshman,he’s a veteran player. He’s anexperienced player,” Lewinskisaid of Mackey. “He’s emergingas a leader for next year and hisjunior and senior years.”

Bal led Norway with 20points. Lewinski considers thepoint guard, who can score, passand settle the team down, to bean All-U.P. candidate.

Norway plays Negaunee (18-5) on Wednesday for the regionaltitle. Negaunee beat Rudyard(17-6) 68-54 on Monday. Injuriesand a tough schedule doomed theKnights to a sub-.500 record, butthey came on at the right time.

“I think the record is deceiv-ing, but you know what, we lost alot of close games, we had someissues with health and injuries,we play a lot of good teams also,”Leiker said. “That prepared usfor today, for this tournament.Hopefully we can keep it going.”

PANTHERS

VICKSBURG, Mich. (AP) — Wes Leonard’s par-ents sobbed as they broke their silence for the firsttime since their son died earlier this month aftermaking a game-winning shot for Fennville HighSchool.

Gary and Jocelyn Leonard spoke with The Asso-ciated Press on Monday night after Schoolcraft(23-0) beat Fennville 86-62 in a Michigan Class Cbasketball regional playoff game.

They both wore black T-shirts adorned by but-tons with their son’s picture in basketball and foot-ball uniforms.

“You won’t get over it, but you’ve got to getthrough it,” Jocelyn Leonard told the AP after sheand her husband visited Fennville’s locker room.“We couldn’t get through it without everybody help-ing us.”

The 16-year-old Leonard had cardiac arrestMarch 3 because of his enlarged heart.

“He’s what every parent would wish for,” GaryLeonard said. “Losing him so sudden is just sohard. I don’t even know how to describe it.”

Every night since his death, members of theteam have spent the night at the Leonard’s house.

“They don’t want us to be alone,” JocelynLeonard said. “Their families have loaned them tous. They sleep on the floor because I can’t let any-one in his room.”

The family plans to create a cause in WesLeonard’s name to encourage others to avoid simi-lar deaths with screenings.

“We’re going to do something about prevention,”

Jocelyn Leonard said.The Leonards said their 13-year-old son,

Mitchell, got a clean bill of health from a cardiolo-gist on Monday.

More than 3,500 people — including about 70members of the media, including a crew filing adocumentary — were shoulder to shoulder and hipto hip at Vicksburg High School to witness Fen-nville’s first loss after 23 victories, including threein the playoffs without its star player.

Fennville’s players wore black T-shirts overtheir jerseys during the national anthem and whenthey were on the bench with “Never Forgotten,” onthe front and “Leonard 35” on the back.

Fennville Area Fire Chief Lowell Winne watchedfrom the baseline, near Fennville’s bench, andraved about a young man he got to know as hismiddle school football coach.

“Its a huge loss for our community because Wesmade everybody around him better,” Winne said.“When Wes walked in a room, it lifted everybody upbecause they wanted to be like him and he usuallymade them smile.”

After the Leonards first interview since theirson’s death, they made a point of thanking, amongothers, the Fennville school district, the communi-ty, basketball coach Ryan Klingler and his wife,Becky, athletic director Tony Petkus, board of edu-cation vice president Loren Barnes and superin-tendent Dirk Weeldreyer.

“They protected us and let us have our grievingtime,” Jocelyn Leonard said.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) —Matt Cain has put a premium onhis durability during his major-league pitching career, and heisn’t about to stop now.

The right-hander had startedSan Francisco’s spring opener onFeb. 27, but missed two startsdue to inflammation in his rightelbow. He insisted he was fine allalong, but the Giants wanted tobe careful. They allowed him tothrow a bit on the side, but noth-ing in games.

The true test came on Mon-day, when Cain started againstthe Milwaukee Brewers. Hethrew three scoreless innings,giving up three hits and strikingout one batter.

Those who followed Cain tothe mound, namely veteran

right-hander Jeff Suppan,weren’t nearly as fortunate. TheBrewers rallied for six runs —five earned — off Suppan andwent on to post a 12-8 victory infront of 11,686 at Scottsdale Sta-dium.

CHICAGO (AP) — The city ofChicago and two major airlinesannounced a nearly $1.2 billiondeal Monday to go ahead withparts of a long-planned expan-sion for O’Hare InternationalAirport, one of the world’s busi-est air traffic hubs.

That means construction of anew runway can begin, eventhough questions remain aboutthe timing and pace of futureexpansion. It also allows MayorRichard Daley to leave office thisspring after 22 years withrenewed momentum on one ofhis biggest priorities.

“This is a wonderful day for

Chicago, the Chicago region andthe country,” said Daley, who hadscrambled to ensure a signatureproject didn’t grind to a halt.“The agreement ensures that thecompletion phase continues tomove forward without increaseto any local tax.”

City officials have argued thatfinishing a second phase of theestimated $15 billion expansionwill help reduce delays in Chica-go and throughout the U.S. airtransport system. The airlines,however, had balked at footingmost of the bill for moreupgrades and had sued the cityto try to stop the expansion.

Both sides were at an impasseas recently as last month, whenDaley and airline executiveswent to Washington to meet withTransportation Secretary RayLaHood. LaHood, a former Illi-nois congressman, eventuallyoffered an extra $155 million, inaddition to earlier funding, toclose the deal.

American and United agreedto back about $300 million inbonds with airline revenues. Thecity will also use about $365 mil-lion in passenger fees.

“We decided on the runwaythat we felt was most impor-tant,” LaHood said Monday atO’Hare.

The deal, though, delays deci-sions about a new western ter-minal and other elements of theproject opposed by American andUnited airlines.

NEW YORK (AP) — Concernsover the economic impact of themassive earthquake and tsuna-mi in Japan, the world’s third-largest economy, led to a broadsell-off in the stock market onMonday.

Nine out of the 10 sectors thatmake up the Standard and Poor’s500 index lost ground. Utilitiescompanies fell 1.4 percent, themost of any group, as explosionsat Japanese nuclear reactors inthe wake of the disaster dimmedprospects for the nuclear energyindustry.

The S&P index, the basis formost U.S. mutual funds, fell 7.89points, or 0.6 percent, to1,296.39.

The Dow Jones industrialaverage lost 51.24, or 0.4 per-cent, to 11,993.16. The Nasdaqcomposite dipped 14.64, or 0.5percent, to 2,700.97.

“Everything is linked now,”said David Katz, senior portfoliostrategist at Weiser CapitalManagement. “There is no suchthing as a catastrophe happen-ing in any major country and itnot affecting the global economy.”

Japan’s central bank pumpeda record $184 billion into moneymarket accounts to encouragebank lending. Financial analystssaid the move could put pressureon Japan to raise interest rates,particularly since the country issaddled with massive debt that,at 200 percent of gross domesticproduct, is the biggest amongdeveloped nations.

“The fiscal position is deterio-

rating in Japan,” said ChanningSmith, managing director ofequity strategies at Capital Advi-sors Inc. “If we get higher inter-est rates, that is a major threatto ... the global recovery.”

Japan’s benchmark Nikkei225 index fell 633.94 points, or6.2 percent, to close at 9,620.49

SOMA, Japan (AP) — Radiation spewedTuesday from a crippled nuclear power plantin tsunami-ravaged northeastern Japan in adramatic escalation of the 4-day-old catastro-phe, forcing the government to tell peoplenearby to stay indoors to avoid exposure.

In a nationally televised statement, PrimeMinister Naoto Kan said radiation has spreadfrom four reactors of the Fukushima Dai-ichinuclear plant in Fukushima province thatwas one of the hardest-hit in Friday’s 9.0-magnitude earthquake and the ensuingtsunami.

“The level seems very high, and there isstill a very high risk of more radiation comingout,” Kan said.

This is the worst nuclear crisis Japan hasfaced since the atomic bombing of Hiroshimaand Nagasaki during World War II.

Kan warned there are dangers of moreleaks and told people living within 19 miles(30 kilometers) of the Fukushima Dai-ichicomplex to stay indoors to avoid radiationsickness.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano saida fourth reactor at the complex was on fireand more radiation had been released.

He said the reactor, even though it wasunoperational, was believed to be the sourceof the elevated radiation release because of

the hydrogen release that triggered the fire.“Now we are talking about levels that can

damage human health. These are readingstaken near the area where we believe thereleases are happening. Far away, the levelsshould be lower,” he said.

“Please do not go outside. Please stayindoors. Please close windows and make yourhomes airtight. Don’t turn on ventilators.Please hang on your laundry indoors,” he said.

“These are figures that potentially affecthealth, there is no mistake about that,” hesaid.

He said a reactor whose containmentbuilding caught fire Monday has not con-tributed greatly to the increased radiation.The radiation level around one of the reactorsstood at 400,000 microsiverts per hour, fourtimes higher than the safe level.

Officials said 50 workers are still there try-ing to put water into the reactors to cool them.They say 800 other nonessential staff wereevacuated.

The death toll from last week’s earthquakeand tsunami jumped Tuesday as police con-firmed the number killed had topped 2,400,though that grim news was overshadowed bya deepening nuclear crisis. Officials have saidpreviously that at least 10,000 people mayhave died in Miyagi province alone.

Walker proposes building projectsMADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker is

proposing spending $1.1 billion on building projectsin Wisconsin over the next two years, nearly 30percent less than what was spent in the currenttwo-year budget.

Walker said in a statement that his proposalreleased Monday “aggressively uses the fundsavailable to us to maintain state buildings, plan forgrowth, and most importantly create jobs.”

Projects included for funding include $76 millionfor the new Badger Performance Center on theUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison campus to housea variety of programs, $44 million for an educationbuilding at University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and$5 million for creation of a new joint museum forthe state Historical Society and Department of Vet-erans Affairs in Madison.

The Badger Performance Center includes a new132,000-square foot facility to house sportsmedicine, academic services and strength and con-ditioning while sharing space with the College ofEngineering.

It includes remodeling space in the McClainCenter, construction of a new tunnel connecting thecenter to Camp Randall as well as renovations at

improvements at the stadium.Of the $1.1 billion requested, about 67 percent is

for new construction or major renovation with therest spent on maintenance and upkeep, said PeterMaternowski, deputy administrator for the state’sDivision of State Facilities.

All but about $200 million of the $1.1 billion forthe building projects comes from bonds, with therest coming from cash, grants and federal money,Maternowski said.

Other major projects include $38.5 million forexpansion of the west campus and $67 million forthe Institute for Medical Research both at UW-Madison, $8 million to help pay for expansion of theMarquette Dental School and $17 million to reno-vate Carlson Hall at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.

The Building Commission, controlled by Repub-lican state lawmakers and chaired by Walker, willmeet on Wednesday to approve the recommenda-tion and forward it to the Legislature’s budget-writing committee.

That panel will consider it as part of the state’stwo-year budget which will likely be voted on bythe Legislature in June.

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. (AP) — Stateworkers, small business owners and retireeswere among those who gathered in citiesacross Michigan on Monday to protest cuts inRepublican Gov. Rick Snyder’s proposed bud-get — a prelude to demonstrations later thisweek that include rallies at the state Capitol.

Corrections officer Adam Douglas, whospoke to a group of about 25 people in aMount Clemens church, said he’s concernedabout cuts to prisons and fears privatization.Douglas said he doesn’t understand whypoliticians are portraying public workers as“pariahs” both in Michigan and elsewhere.

“The only thing people in Lansing are wor-ried about is the profit margin,” said Douglas,who has worked at the Mound CorrectionalFacility in Detroit for 14 years. “There is ademocratic system in place — it isn’t allabout money.”

Monday’s events included stops in MountClemens, Monroe, Lansing, Grand Rapids,Ann Arbor, Kalamazoo and Saginaw. TheAARP and the Michigan League for HumanServices plan a Capitol rally on Tuesday.Douglas said he plans to join other unionworkers at a rally scheduled for Wednesdayin Lansing.

Snyder has said repeatedly that his bud-get plan represents “shared sacrifice” andputs Michigan on the path to a better futurebecause it helps to solve the fiscal woes of thestate, which is facing an estimated $1.4 bil-lion shortfall. His $45.9 billion proposalincludes spending cuts for schools and wouldeliminate many personal tax breaks whileslashing business taxes. Among the propos-als: ending exemptions from the state incometax for most pension income.

The governor reiterated Monday that his

overall budget proposal, while containingsome “difficult cuts,” is necessary.

“Those are tough calls,” he said. “But I’mmaking those decisions on the basis of what’sgood for all of us in the long run so we can allwin together.”

Dennis McComb, a retired firefighter fromSelfridge Air National Guard Base, said he’sworried about his pension taking a hit anddoesn’t like to see the erosion of a benefitearned during earlier labor struggles.

“As far as the pension goes, it’s somethingour forefathers fought for,” he said.

He’s also angry that Snyder wasn’t moreforthcoming about his plans last year whenthe wealthy businessman ran for governor.

“He never did say too much when he wasrunning — other than he was the ’nerd,’”McComb said.

spending billWASHINGTON (AP) — Con-

servative Republicans on CapitolHill began Monday to come outagainst a measure to keep thegovernment running for threemore weeks while the WhiteHouse and Republican lawmak-ers seek a longer-term agree-ment on spending cuts.

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, whochairs the Republican StudyCommittee, which makes up asizable majority of House Repub-licans, said the measure shouldinclude a ban on federal fundingfor Planned Parenthood and thatCongress needs to do better thancutting spending a few billiondollars at a time.

Jordan’s opposition reflectswidespread unhappiness amongconservatives with the must-pass legislation. The measure isneeded to prevent a partial gov-ernment shutdown when a stop-gap funding bill expires Fridayat midnight.

The House is set to vote Tues-day on a measure cutting $6 bil-lion as the price for keeping thegovernment open until April 8.Democrats and Republicansremain deadlocked over legisla-tion funding day-to-day agencyoperations

“With the federal governmentfacing record deficits and amammoth debt hanging over oureconomy and our future, wemust do more than cut spendingin bite-sized pieces,” Jordan saidin a statement.

In the Senate, a tea partyfavorite, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., also announced his opposi-tion to the upcoming measure,saying that “Washington politi-cians of both parties (are) scram-bling to put together two- andthree-week plans to keep fund-ing the government, while notfundamentally changing thebehavior that has gotten us intothis mess to begin with.”

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — As babyboomers fuel a historic surge in the older-than-65 demographic, state health officialsfear that as many as one in three could devel-op Alzheimer’s.

The incurable brain disease causingdementia afflicts more than 100,000 peoplein Wisconsin, including about 12,500 inGreen Bay and the surrounding area.

John Taylor, a businessman and father inOconto County, first exhibited symptoms inthe late 1990s, when he was barely 60 yearsold.

His wife, Gail Taylor-LaPlant, recalls thatit took two years to find a doctor who wasable and willing to offer an official diagnosis.The couple ended up selling their house andrelocating to Green Bay in search of bettercare.

MINOR CONFUSION AT STARTAlzheimer’s typically begins with minor

signs of confusion or forgetfulness. Inadvanced stages, it can lead to almost totalloss of cognitive understanding and a needfor constant assistance with the most basic ofdaily human functions.

Even finding an adequate support groupbecame a challenge, so Taylor-LaPlant start-ed her own.

Alzheimer’s disease carries a stigma thatmakes many sufferers reluctant to seek help,she said.

“People aren’t reaching out,” she said.“They’re staying in their homes. They don’tknow where to go.”

John Taylor died in 2008 after an agoniz-ing battle with Alzheimer’s, during which hiswife never left his side.

N.E.W. CURATIVE HELPSOne of the few places where the couple

found help was N.E.W. Curative Rehabilita-tion Inc., a nonprofit Green Bay agency thatoffers adult day care and other services for

senior citizens and people with disabilities.Located at 2900 Curry Lane on the city’s

northeast side, N.E.W. Curative serves about2,000 people a year — many suffering fromAlzheimer’s and other forms of dementia —with therapy, social activities, employmentplacement and other programs.

The agency gets government aid, so clientsare asked only to offer $20-a-day donations, ifpossible.

Officials say there are no similar agenciesassisting the elderly in the Green Bay area,although N.E.W. Curative branched out inDoor County recently and is working to helpKewaunee County to launch its own such ser-vice.

Diana Brown, vice president of programservices, said unless new funding becomesavailable, she doubts such facilities will beable to keep pace with the expected increasein demand for services.

“They will grow, but not to the tune thatthey should be growing,” she said.

Green Bay also is home to the Alzheimer’sAssociation of Greater Wisconsin, which

serves most of the northern region of thestate. Housed in the same building as N.E.W.Curative, the association has a staff of 16people who work in case management, sup-port services and education.

Kim Kinner, the association’s executivedirector, hopes increased public awarenessabout Alzheimer’s will lead to more govern-ment research on the cause, treatments and,perhaps someday, a cure.

While the government spends $6 billion ayear for cancer research and $3 billion forAIDS research, just $450 million is spent onAlzheimer’s, Kinner said.

As baby boomers come to realize just howmuch Alzheimer’s could threaten their retire-ment years, Kinner said, she hopes they willbecome activists in advancing the cause ofconquering the disease.

For now, her agency is reaching out tonursing homes, schools, hospitals and justabout anywhere else in an effort to raise pub-lic awareness.

“We can’t do it all alone,” she said. “Youstart to wonder if it’s going to be enough.”

CHICAGO (AP) — More thanhalf a million U.S. teens havehad an eating disorder but fewhave sought treatment for theproblem, government researchshows.

The study is billed as thelargest and most comprehensiveanalysis of eating disorders. Itinvolved nationally representa-tive data on more than 10,000teens aged 13 to 18.

Binge-eating disorder was themost common, affecting morethan 1.5 percent of kids studied.Just under 1 percent had experi-enced bulimia, and 0.3 percenthad had anorexia.

Overall, 3 percent had a life-time prevalence of one of the dis-orders.

Another 3 percent of kidsquestioned had troubling symp-toms but not full-fledged eatingdisorders.

The study was released onlinerecently in Archives of General

Psychiatry.The rates are slightly higher

than in other studies.And the study is based on

kids and parents interviewedover two years ending in 2004.

But co-author and researcherKathleen Merikangas of theNational Institute of MentalHealth says similar rates likelyexist today.

More than half the affectedteens had depression, anxiety orsome other mental disorder.Sizeable numbers also reportedsuicide thoughts or attempts.

Merikangas said the resultsunderscore the seriousness ofeating disorders.

Global markets and high-tech shipping methods haveput asparagus on our tablesvirtually year-round, yet mostof us still associate it withspring.

Asparagus is a nutritionalpowerhouse. It is low in calo-ries (about 5 calories per stalk)and is packed with vitamins A,C and E, and folate.

Green, purple and whitevarieties of asparagus are com-mon, though green is the leastexpensive and most readilyavailable. Green asparagus hasa fresh, woodsy flavor, whilepurple varieties tend to have amore fruity flavor. Whiteasparagus is milder in flavorand should always be peeledbefore cooking.

When shopping for aspara-gus, look for firm stalks withtight tips. Fresh asparagusshould snap when bent.Though best eaten the day pur-

chased, asparagus can berefrigerated, wrapped in adamp cloth inside a plasticbag, for three days.

Though not essential, peel-ing tough-skinned stalks witha vegetable peeler will helpensure that the tips and other-wise thicker stalks cook at thesame rate. Rinse all asparagusthoroughly before cooking toremove any lingering sand.

For this simple asparagusand potato soup, all the vegeta-bles are roasted at high heat,caramelizing their natural sug-ars and enhancing the flavors.They then are pureed untilsmooth and combined withthick, nonfat Greek-styleyogurt, which gives the soup acreamy quality that belies itslow-fat nutritional profile.

To top off the soup, shreds ofsweet and salty prosciutto hamare crisped in a skillet to cre-ate a garnish that has all theappeal of crumbled bacon,without all the grease.

Audit knocks prisonsover prescription drugs

DETROIT (AP) — State auditorssay Michigan could have saved mil-lions of dollars by choosing lower-cost alternatives to a mental-healthdrug widely prescribed in prisons.

The audit released Friday sayspsychotropic drugs added up tomore than $8 million from Januarythrough July last year — 41 percentof all pharmaceuticals.

Seroquel is the most prescribedantipsychotic drug.

Auditors say the CorrectionsDepartment could have saved$350,000 a month by switching halfof those prescriptions to a drugcalled Risperdal.

SUDOKU PUZZLE & SOLUTION4X4.5

By Peter H. Gott, M.D.DEAR DR. GOTT: I recently saw atelevision ad for Atelvia, a newosteoporosis treatment. Since I’ve neverheard of it before, can you tell meanything about this product?DEAR READER: The U.S. Food andDrug Administration (FDA) has approvedAtelvia (risedronate sodium) for thetreatment of postmenopausalosteoporosis. It is essentially a delayed-release form of Actonel. It is available inpill form that should not be crushed orchewed and is to be taken once a weekwith at least a half cup of plain waterimmediately following breakfast. Aperson may stand or sit but should not liedown for 30 minutes following ingestion.If antacids or calcium supplements aretaken routinely, they should beconsumed at a different time of day thanthe Atelvia. Common side effects include upsetstomach, muscle, back and joint pain,diarrhea and flu-like symptoms. If youhave medical conditions other thanosteoporosis, a kidney disorder ordifficulty swallowing pills, speak with yourphysician before using Atelvia.There are numerous other medicationson the market that treat osteoporosis.Some of the side effects can bedramatic. While they don’t occur foreveryone, they have been documentedand should be reviewed with a personalphysician before usage begins. Forexample, bisphosphonates (the drugcategory of Fosamax, Actonel, Atelvia,Boniva and others) can cause severemuscle, joint and bone pain, upsetstomach, inflammation and erosion ofthe esophagus, and osteonecrosis(bone-cell death). Furthermore, theyhave been reported to weaken the femur

and result in nontraumatic fractures ofthe bone and can cause atrial fibrillation,an abnormal rhythm of the heart.I am not implying that preventive care isthe complete answer or opposingphysician-prescribed medication forpostmenopausal osteoporosis. But untilyou make a decision on a drug, trylimiting your caffeine intake to aboutthree cups of coffee or other caffeine-containing products per day; discontinuesmoking; and add soy, calcium withvitamin D supplements, potassium,vitamin K, and fresh fruits andvegetables to your daily diet, as theyshould give your bones a boost. If youare physically able, add regular exerciseto your daily routine to prevent furtherbone loss. If you are on corticosteroids, a diuretic(water pill), thyroid medication or takeantacids containing aluminum, be sure tospeak with your physician regarding anypossible connection with it or them andyour osteoporosis. Readers who would like additionalinformation can order my Health Report“Osteoporosis” by sending a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope

and a $2 check or money order madepayable to Newsletter and mailed toNewsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH44092-0167. Be sure to mention the titleor print an order form off my website’sdirect link atwww.AskDrGottMD.com/order_form.pdf. DEAR DR. GOTT: I just read your articleabout Kangen water. Honestly, I don’tthink you did enough research because ifyou did, you would not have said whatyou did. Japan is the healthiest countryin the world. Besides, the way the Eastand West do things is very different.They are more interested in prevention.Doctors here are more interested insurgery and drugs. Your body cries forwater. You’re not sick. You’re thirsty.Kangen water has no comparison. It’sthat good.DEAR READER: I didn’t bash ionizedwater. I simply suggested some ionizerscould be purchased for less money thanthe one Kangen markets. I didrecommend people with questions havetheir water tested by a reputable firm todetermine whether it is potable. I alsowent on to say if the reader felt ionizedwater worked, to stay the course. In anyevent, I respect your opinion and thankyou for taking the time to write. Write to: Dr. Gott c/o United Media, 200Madison Ave., 4th fl., New York, NY10016. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physicianand the author of several books,including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr.Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr.Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,”which are available at most bookstoresor online.

BRIDGE:A double finessefor double the fun

Tuesday, March 15, 2011By Phillip AlderA proverb from Honduras goes: “Griefshared is half grief; joy shared is doublejoy.”At the bridge table, if you misplay a contractand go down, your partner will probably notwant to share your grief. But if you make acontract with good play, your happiness willbe shared with your partner.This week, we are studying variousfinesses. In today’s deal, how would you tryto make three no-trump after West leads thespade five and East covers dummy’s jackwith his queen?That was another exciting auction to threeno-trump!You have eight top tricks: one spade, twohearts, four diamonds and one club. Youmust get a second club trick. How wouldyou do that?You should plan to take two club finesses.Win the third spade trick (in case Weststarted with a five-card suit) and play a clubto dummy’s nine. East takes the king andleads his last spade. The defenders thenexit with a heart or a diamond. You win inyour hand and take a second club finessefor your contract.What is the chance that the second finessewill win?It is around 76 percent. You fail only whenEast has both missing honors.Phillip Alder is teaching during the American

Contract Bridge League’s Sectional at Seafrom July 19 to 26 aboard Cunard’s QueenElizabeth. The cruise starts and ends inSouthampton, England, and goes to theNorwegian fjords and the North Cape.Details are at www.phillipalderbridge.com.Copyright 2011, United Feature Syndicate

Answer to previous puzzle

By DOUG FEINBERGAP Basketball Writer

Connecticut’s path to a thirdstraight national championshipcould include a renewal of themost heated rivalry in women’scollege basketball.

For Geno Auriemma to matchTennessee coach Pat Summittwith an eighth national champi-onship he might have to gothrough her Lady Vols, whoearned the top seed in the Day-ton region. The Huskies earnedthe No. 1 overall seed in theNCAA women’s basketball tour-nament Monday night.

If both come through theirregions, UConn andTennessee couldmeet again in thenational semifinalsat Indianapolis.

A u r i e m m a ’ sHuskies didn’t haveto face Tennesseeduring its record 90-game winning streakthat was ended byStanford on Dec. 30.The two pre-eminentteams in the sportbroke off their annu-al matchup in 2007in a testy split.

Baylor and Stan-ford were the othertwo No. 1 seeds. Itwas the secondstraight No. 1 seedfor the Cardinal, whofell to UConn in thetitle game last sea-son.

“I think if it’s afour-horse race, there are somedark horses,” Stanford coachTara VanDerveer said. “I don’tthink there is a clear-cutfavorite. Last year they (UConn)were a clear-cut favorite.”

“We’re not a clear-cut favorite.Tennessee’s not a clear-cutfavorite; Baylor’s not; and

UConn’s not.”The most emotional matchup

of the tourney, however, likelywill be in the Dallas regionbetween No. 6 Georgia and No.11 Middle Tennessee State,which is still dealing with thestabbing death of teammate TinaStewart on March 2.

“The tragedy was mostunspeakable and our full com-mittee and shared our thoughtsand condolences,” selection com-mittee chairwoman MarilynMcNeil said. “However, what wewant to assure everyone is theywere considered like everyone inthe field. We looked at their body

of work and whatthey had done onthe floor over theentire season. Theywere selected asone of the 33 bestat-large teams inthe country.”

First up forUConn is Hartford,which won theAmerica East title,and is coached byformer Huskiesstar Jen Rizzotti.The two teamshave played eachother over the lastsix years but didn’tmeet this season.Hartford is winlessin 11 meetingsagainst UConn.

The Huskies willbe trying for theirthird consecutivetitle, matchingtheir run from

2002-04 and Tennessee’s from1996-98. UConn is one of a recordnine Big East teams in the field.The Big East got 11 men’s teamsin their field announced Sunday.

Auriemma said he’s happythey got nine bids but was sur-prised Syracuse didn’t get in.

“I was hoping that we’d get10,” he said. “I don’t know what

the rationale was for not takingSyracuse.”

Unlike the men’s bracket thatexpanded to 68 teams this year,

the women decided to stick with64. Indianapolis will host theFinal Four on April 3 and 5.

The last time the Final Four

was in Indianapolis, Baylor wonthe championship as a No. 2seed.

The Lady Bears, led by sopho-

more center Brittney Griner, willface No. 16 Prairie View in theiropener on Sunday in the Dallasregion.

COMICSFEATURES THE DAILY GLOBE16 � TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 2011

Dear Annie: My husband andI are in our mid-60s, married 42years. Our marriage hasn’t beengreat, but it’s also not horrible.

About 15 years ago, my hus-band developed erectile dysfunc-tion and stopped wanting sex. Iurged him to talk to his doctor,which he did. The doctor gave himsome pills, but he refused to trythem. I have tried other remedieson my own, but nothing hashelped.

I admit I am not beautiful, andI also am overweight. Still, I’vealways been this way. My hus-band never cuddles up to me inbed like he used to. He never putshis arms around me, kisses me orshows any affection whatsoever.And he refuses to discuss it.

I feel like I’m living with mybrother. Our anniversaries comeand go with no celebration of anykind. Every little thing he doesseems to irritate me, and I canbarely speak to him. Of course,when I do, he doesn’t listen. Some-times he actually walks awaywhile I’m talking. I don’t knowwhat to do anymore. Can youhelp? — Tired of It All

Dear Tired: A low testos-terone count could be responsiblenot only for a lack of interest insex, but for depression, as well.This is fairly common and mightbe the source of your husband’sunwillingness to work on theproblem. Ask him to go back to hisdoctor and get tested. It couldmake a world of difference to him,and it would help your marriage,as well.

Dear Annie: Ever since myhusband and I moved to a resortarea, we have enjoyed many fami-ly gatherings at our house. Thesewere invited guests at times thatsuited our schedules. Lately, how-ever, the family seems to expectour house to be a spontaneouscrash pad because we have “themost accommodating space.”

The truth is, almost every visithas become a financial burden

and a physically taxing occasion,especially when they linger fordays, sometimes weeks. Our utili-ty bills skyrocket, the food costsare insurmountable, and thisdoesn’t include the unrelentingdomestic chores with little or nohelp. During their stay, our houselooks ransacked, with carpetstains, damaged furniture andtons of laundry.

These are all grown, financiallysecure, professional adults. Myhusband I have tried tactfullyrefusing them, suggesting otherplaces, and designating meals andtasks, all of which were basicallyineffective. Telling them we haveother plans is not a deterrent. Ourhome has turned into a hotel andstorage facility. We love them, butwe are at our wits’ end. Anythoughts? — Ocean City, Md.

Dear Ocean City: You aregoing to have to be more firm andconsistent. Say, “Sorry, you cannotstay here.” Don’t let them in thedoor. Don’t give them keys. Whenthey complain, tell them pointblank that you love them, but peo-ple leave the house a mess, no onecontributes a thing, it strains yourfinances and you’ve had enough.You will invite them when you areready to have company. Period.They may be upset, but they willonly stop taking advantage of youwhen you insist on it.

Dear Annie: This is inresponse to “Thrown for a Loop,”the wife whose husband wasmeeting a former co-worker forlunch. She requested a separationsince he refused to stop thesemeetings. Although he should not

be keeping these meetings asecret, she should not assume herhusband is having an affair.

I am a single woman withmany married male friends. Thereare no affairs. I treasure thesefriendships and appreciate thewives who are not suspicious ofus. However, if a wife is uncom-fortable with her husband meet-ing me for lunch, she should joinus. I would welcome her companyand hopefully make an additionalfriend. — Monrovia, Calif.

Dear Monrovia: We heardfrom a great many women, andmost of them were furious. Weagree that including the wife is agreat idea.
