BAY CITY — It’s been a four-year wait, but Bay City’s Tall Ship Celebration is only four days away. And local business owners are ready to earn their share of more than $10 million expected to be generated during the four-day event, which begins Thursday and is expected to draw more than 100,000 visitors. “For an event like Tall Ship Celebration — that attracts so many people from such a great distance — the economic impact is really very, very far reaching and touches almost everybody in some way,” said Shirley Roberts, event coordinator for the Tall Ship Celebration. Roberts said she has spoken to potenEMILY-ROSE BENNETT | THE BAY CITY TIMES tial visitors from all over the country, has Beth Dore, owner of Duso’s mailed tickets for the Bar on East Midland Street, has turned her bar into a event to people in 40-foot-tall ship that reaches See SAILS, A16 the entire length of the bar.

Gubernatorial candidate Pete Hoekstra, left, and Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., hold a town hall meeting last month in Grand Rapids.

Hoekstra pedals as he peddles ideas D.C. veteran from Holland reaching out to rest of state

DAVE ALEXANDER FOR THE BAY CITY TIMES

Pete Hoekstra sits in front of the Fox News cameras in a small studio at the University of Michigan, preparing for an interview that will be seen THE RACE FOR by millions. GOVERNOR The topic on this picture-perfect morning for This is the fifth the U.S. congressman in a series of from Holland is the relaprofiles about the tionship between al-Qaida candidates for and Iran. Michigan governor. He never breaks a sweat. Minutes later, the 56-year-old Republican candidate for governor sheds his dark business suit and pulls on a bright blue biking shirt and shorts. He hops on his old Huffy bicycle for a seven-mile ride from the Michigan Union to Ann Arbor along the Huron River. “Biking is the only time I can get out and get away for an hour or so,” Hoekstra says as he pedals with three student volunteers. “There are no BlackBerries out here.” When he finishes the ride about 40 minutes later, he still hasn’t broken a sweat. These are the dual sides of Pete Hoekstra. He can be low-key and folksy. In an attempt to fulfill his pledge to bike 1,000 miles and participate in 100 jobs before the November election, the Holland native has exercised a grassroots campaign style to get out his message of fiscal conservatism and small government. He also can be high-profile and pugnacious. A regular on Fox News and the Sunday-morning talk shows, he has stood shoulder to shoulder with congressional Republicans’ most powerful leaders and nose to nose with those who oppose him. Now, as he tries to broaden his appeal to areas such as southeast Michigan, he’s peddling his ideas on job creation and economic recovery — the two issues he considers most important to voters. Realizing Michigan’s next governor will face difficult divisions in Lansing, Hoekstra draws lessons on political leadership from an unlikely source. See HOEKSTRA, A11

CORNFEST ‘I pretty much got the technique down this year,’ winner of corn-eating contest says

experience with the contest stretches back four years, though he had never placed higher than second until Saturday. Tomczak said it was that previous involvement that prepared him for his victory. “I laughed too much the first couple years I did it. I pretty much got the technique down this year,” he said. For his fast hands and even faster jaw, Tomczak walked away with a stomach full of corn and a cash prize of $25. In a more steady-paced competition, 24 two-person teams assembled for the cornhole tournament. Cornfest organizers brought the game — which involves tossing a beanbag through a hole in a board — to the festival last year because of the game’s growing popularity. “It just seemed like a natural fit because of how popular it was getting across the country,” said Joel Herbolsheimer, who organized this year’s tournament. The reason for increased

interest in the simple game depends on who you ask. For Andy Gielda, 48, of Bay City, the accuracy involved makes it preferable to comparable games. “You have more control

fied drivers. Experienced drivers are the first ones hired from the pool of available drivers. “At some point, as demand increases, they’re going to have to add trucks,” Headley said. “Overall, I think truck fleets are preparing for the day when they’re going to have to add trucks and drivers. That’s what I think has sparked the concern for future driver availability.” Dave Raymond, 60, of Saginaw Township, an instructor for Baker College and driver for Causley Trucking Inc., said trucking remains a relevant occupation for job seekers. “There’s always a demand because food products, anything, has to move by truck,” Raymond said.

More freight is being shipped by truck this year compared to 2009, according to statistics from the American Trucking Associations, based in Arlington, Va., which represents more than 37,000 trucking businesses and associations in the U.S. Tavio T. Headley, an economist for the American Trucking Associations, said the job market bodes well for truck drivers. Already, some operators of fleets “are saying they’re having trouble finding qualified drivers,” Headley said.

The site provides training for — among other students — truck drivers. Aspiring truckers are entering a field where openings could occur soon because of the average age of a truck driver, Heinritzi said. “The demographics now are such that most truck drivers are getting on in years,” Heinritzi said. “Somebody needs to replace them, as well as to handle the growth in the economy in general.”

CHESANING — With bigname entertainment such as Adam Lambert, Buckcherry and Grand Funk Railroad, the Chesaning Showboat Music Festival is riding high this week, even if the festival’s namesake boat is both high and dry. The showboat — The Shiawassee Queen — is dressed up with no place to go, thanks to another year of low water levels. “It’s all decorated and lit up, and it actually looks really good in its slip, right there in downtown Chesaning,” said Phil Giesken, this year’s festival chairman. “It’s rather fitting, too, since we have some events going on downtown.”

WHAT: Chesaning Showboat Music Festival WHEN: Today through Saturday WHERE: Showboat Park, Chesaning HIGHLIGHTS: Concerts include performances by Adam Lambert, Mitch Ryder, Buckcherry and Drowning Pool. Other events include wine and cheese tasting, horseshoe and volleyball tournaments and a car show. INFO: (989) 845-3056; www.chesaningshowboat.org. The Showboat Parade will wind down the town’s boulevard to the park at 1 p.m. today, where Paradise in the Park offers a day of family fun. And come Saturday, streets in town will close down for Cruisin’ to the River Car Show and a flea market/craft show. “We got as many things as we could packed into the week, including nightly

music in our River’s Bend Hospitality Tent,” Giesken said. “Some of the bands, like Modern Bliss out of Philadelphia, will probably draw more people than some of the acts we brought here in recent years.” The festival officially kicked off Saturday with the scheduled Praise Day in the Park and the first kayak and canoe races on

What we’ve done is built our festival up on what people like to do. “Maybe we’ll only have three or four concerts from here on, but there’s no lack of things to do,” he said.

Bay City resident Tom Slavens got a new front porch last year from the Dow Chemical Co. and Habitat for Humanity volunteers.

Neighborhood work once again builds a full head of steam in Bay City Efforts to repair and repaint Bay City neighborhoods have been knocked around through the years, but they’re by no means knocked out. That’ll once again become abundantly evident as volunteers descend upon a Bay City neighborhood for Habitat for Humanity’s second Brush With Kindness effort. Habitat’s first “neighborhood revitalization” was last year, drawing 800 volunteers to fix 40 homes in the city. The week-long project served as a rallying point for several Bay City organizations we hadn’t seen in a while, plus employee, company and church groups. People from the city of Bay City, Saginaw Valley State University, Bay Area Housing, a youth work group staying at First Presbyterian Church, members of St. James Church and Paint N Pride pitched in. Yes, that Paint N Pride. It’s a community fixup program that has taken a licking, but keeps on ticking. Years ago, the hoardes of volunteers who’ll work this year under the Habitat for Humanity banner from July 24 to July 31, might have been part of Paint N Pride teams. They scraped paint from old houses, slapped coats of donated paint on

them, making a few repairs along the way. Paint N Pride was the first in this area to show everyone just what caring and determination, a lot of elbow grease and gumption can get you — whole neighborhoods that otherwise might have remained rundown, suddenly spruced up. It was a very down-toearth, grassroots effort that drew hundreds of volunteers to help make a big difference in Bay City and some of the communities surrounding it. Tripping merrily along in its success, though, Paint eventually became ensnared in the red tape of government and environmental rules — mostly regarding old lead-based paint that was chipped from many houses. It took several years, but costs in properly handling that hazardous waste eventually ground the community locomotive known as Paint N Pride to a halt. Rep. Jeff Mayes, D-Bangor Twp., introduced legislation, approved and then signed in 2008, that exempts volunteer neighborhood-fixup groups from rules governing the handling of lead-based paint chips. Although Paint hadn’t done a neighborhood since 2005, stalwart organizers vowed in 2008 they’d rebuild the effort.

And they did. Last year, Paint was back, joining other organizations under the Habitat for Humanity banner. Three cheers for Habitat expanding its efforts and its expertise in building new, affordable homes to fix a second Bay City neighborhood. And bravo for the comeback of Paint N Pride and its eager volunteers. The first Brush With Kindness event repaired porches, applied some paint and resulted in some landscape work on the East Side. Each of the 40 homes also got chairs for their porches, and folks got outside to meet their neighbors — an important component in Habitat’s work to improve and unite neighborhoods. As befits the rebirth of neigborhood-wide fixups, Habitat and the organizations working with it won’t be turning away any volunteers or donations. To sign up, call the Habitat office at 895-0980. We’re very glad to see such a massive volunteer revitalization effort once again under way. It just goes to show what a giving town we have here. Full of good intentions and volunteers who might, from time to time, be knocked down, but never knocked out.

Brunner takes his role as mayor and public servant very seriously I must take issue with some of the surprisingly personal allegations leveled at me in a staff editorial on July 1. As mayor of Bay City, I have always based my decisions on what I believed was best for the city as a whole while considering the taxpayers’ wishes and best interests. As an elected official, I have never forgotten who put me in office and whom I represent. Protecting the public’s safety is the first duty of government Charles at every level, Brunner whether federal, state or local. Everything else, no matter how important, comes next and Bay City’s voters agree with that concept. While campaigning for mayor, I asked residents to complete a survey ranking their priorities. The results overwhelmingly showed public safety was their No. 1 concern. Simply put, residents want to feel safe in their own homes and neighborhoods. They want their tax dollars used for public safety first, while not increasing taxes. I have consistently fought to maintain safe and adequate numbers of police and fire professionals to ensure our residents’ safety while holding firm to my commitment not to raise taxes. Unfortunately, not all elected city officials agree and we stand to lose several of our police officers; however, despite this budget crisis, we will have a “historically correct” roof on City Hall. I also take issue with the statement, “he’s had plenty of time to express his concerns and offer alternatives.” During this and previous budget discussions, I repeatedly and

consistently expressed my strong support for protecting public safety and always offered alternatives. One of the most important responsibilities and opportunities as mayor is the ability to express the opinions of my constituents during budget discussions and to veto any action that I believe is in conflict with the interests of my constituents. My veto of the City Hall roof project made it abundantly clear that my No. 1 budget priority is public safety. The Times editorial illogically raised the timing of the veto as an issue. However, no one knew what was going to happen until the City Commission actually approved the budget on June 21, after several amendments. Then, and only then, according to the City Charter can I cast my vote, which I did immediately by issuing the veto the very next day. I will continue to exercise this duty if I feel strongly this is what the citizens of the community need and want. In addition, there were several instances in which the editorial writer attempted to read my mind and allege that this veto was cast for purely political reasons. Yes, I am running for another office; but, I was born and raised in this community, speak to the taxpayers every day and have the greater good of Bay City in mind with every decision I make. This issue raises an important point. In order to charge that an action is “politically motivated,” The Times must think it reflects what the people want. In this case, as in most, the people are right. – Charles Brunner is mayor of Bay City and Democratic Party candidate for the 96th District seat in the Michigan House of Representatives.

Cynical budget maneuver abandons the economy and long-term ﬁscal planning WASHINGTON — On June 30, the Congressional Budget Office issued its long-term outlook, predicting that deficits would come down for the next few years as the need for counter-recession spending eases and revenues improve. But then, it warned, “unsustainable” red ink would flow again, creating debts not seen since World War II. The very next day, the House of DAVID S. Representatives Broder passed a one-year davidbroder@ budget resolution washpost.com rather than the normal blueprint committing the government to a fiscal plan of at least five years. For all the publicity that goes to earmarks and other spending gimmicks, this was a far worse dereliction of duty. And the cynicism of the maneuver just made it worse. One of the casualties of this maneuver is the partnership that has developed between Kent Conrad of North Dakota, the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, and Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, its ranking Republican. In January, they were co-sponsors of the legislation to create a National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, whose recommendations for closing the budget gap would be guaranteed an up-or-down vote in Congress. The commission legislation was defeated when seven Republican senators who had initially co-sponsored it defected on the roll call. At that point, President Obama stepped in and rescued the idea, creating the commission by executive order. Now, in a stunning reversal, the Democrats are using the existence of the commission to justify their abandonment of their long-term budget responsibilities. Speaker Nancy Pelosi brazenly hailed the one-year substitute as “another key step ... in restoring fiscal responsibility.” Rep. John Spratt of South Carolina, the House budget committee chairman, more modestly termed it “the functional equivalent of a

traditional budget resolution.” “These are disciplines for the short run,” Spratt said, “while the fiscal commission works out recommendations for the longer run.” The Republicans, who had been rightly roasted for abandoning Conrad and Gregg on the vote to create the commission, were not about to let the Democrats pull off this bait and switch. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the top Republican on Spratt’s committee, said in a statement: “This is not a budget. The measure fails to meet the most basic, commonly understood objectives of any budget. It does not set congressional priorities; it does not align overall spending, tax, deficit and debt levels; and it does nothing to address the runaway spending of federal entitlement programs.” When I reached Gregg by phone, he said the commission — on which both he and Ryan serve, and to which the Democrats were ostensibly deferring — “remains a hope-and-prayer exercise.” Its work has barely begun and it is not due to report until December. Gregg speculated that the reason the Democrats did not pass a real budget resolution is because “they do not want to let the American people see how bad the five-year numbers really are.”

My next call was to Conrad, and I felt nothing but pity for him. He had actually passed a credible five-year budget through his committee, but deferred to the leadership and did not call it up for a floor vote. Now, he said, with the House’s action, “it makes no sense. There’s nothing for it to link up to.” The terrible irony in all this? More and more people are seeing that what this agonizing situation requires is a limited and temporary measure to pump more life into the economy and create jobs, along with a serious commitment to impose real spending discipline and hold down deficits in the long term — exactly what a five-year budget resolution could provide. Gregg and Conrad agree that such a resolution could “unleash huge energy back into the economy,” because corporations are hoarding $1.8 trillion in their treasuries and consumers are sitting on billions more. Of all the times for Congress to abandon its responsibility for long-term fiscal planning, this is the worst. © 2010 Washington Post Writers Group.

‘Cool’ cars on display in Bay City

More than 400 line the downtown streets BRANDON HOWELL bhowell@bc-times.com | (989) 894-9639

BAY CITY — Tracy Clayton’s collector car may look like just another sports car to the average spectator at the Be Cool Car Show. But it’s much more than that. Clayton’s 1972 Ford De Tomaso Pantera is extremely rare; it is estimated there are only about 3,000 of them around today. “I had to have it,” Clayton said. “I spent two years looking for this car. My wife thought I was crazy.” Clayton, a 54-year-old Bay City construction worker, bought the car in Sterling Heights for $20,000 11 years ago. He said it was a good investment. “They say these are worth between $35,000 and $55,000,” he said. The Pantera was produced as a joint venture between the Italian car companies De Tomaso and Ghia for Ford, which wanted an exotic sports car in its lineup. Ford enlisted the help of its Italian counterparts to design and produce the Pantera, which housed a Ford engine in the back end. Be Cool Inc. CEO Roger Rosebush said the Pantera is a gem. “I’ve never seen another one of these in all the years of our show,” he said. “Tracy’s is the only one.” Clayton’s Pantera is an original and hasn’t been altered. It still has its original tires and is sporting a fly yellow color. “I only know of one other person that has one of these,” Clay-

ton said. “It’s rare. It’s a piece of history.” Clayton’s collector car was one of more than 400 that lined the streets of downtown Bay City near Wenonah Park on Saturday for the 12th annual Be Cool Car Show. Several thousand spectators were on hand to see the cars. With late registrations still coming in, event coordinator Wilson Hall expected the show to have 425 cars. “This is by far our best show ever,” he said. Water and Saginaw streets were full of cars and people from Fourth Street to the Doubletree hotel and conference center. Center Avenue and Fifth Street also were blocked off from Washington Avenue to Wenonah Park to accommodate the cars and people. Sunny skies and temperatures much more tolerable than those felt earlier in the week were accompanied by a steady breeze through the car show. Rosebush said those things positively impacted turnout. “When you have pretty weather for a car show it’s going to be good,” he said. “I woke up this morning and thought, ‘It’s going to be a good one.’ ” The car show featured an exhaust rapping contest where fans determined the loudest car by measure of applause, a fourperson team competition where teams raced to service a car and an awards presentation. Owners of the 75 cars chosen as the best at the show received plaques. A kids choice award also was presented. The grand prizes of the show were awarded to two

cars — one selected as the best original and one selected as the best custom. The 12th annual Be Cool Car Show was dedicated to Lova Reinhardt, who was the Be Cool Car Cruize marshall. Rheinhardt, 48, died in June while battling cancer. Proceeds from Saturday’s car show and Friday’s cruise and street party go to the American Cancer Society.

FRANKENLUST TWP. — A three-car collision on Interstate 75 claimed the life of an 86-year-old Beaverton man Friday morning. Clare McPherson died in the crash that occurred shortly after 9 a.m. in the southbound lanes near the Saginaw County line. The area is currently under construction with lane closures. McPherson was the front-seat passenger in a Chevrolet Tahoe and was not wearing a seat belt, according to a report from the Michigan State Police Bay City Post. The crash caused the Tahoe to careen out of control onto the west shoulder of the road and roll several times, police said. McPherson was ejected from the vehicle, police said. The incident caused traffic to be backed up for several hours. Troopers are continuing to investigate the accident to determine which driver was at fault.

A SECTION THE BAY CITY TIMES

Four 4th District Dems vying for place on ballot

ANDREW DODSON

adodson@bc-times.com | (989) 894-9649

This August, four candidates fairly new to the political playground will run for Bay County’s 4th District Board of Commissioners seat, each keeping a close eye on the county’s budget. Democrats Colleen Maillette, the board incumbent who was appointed to Dawn Klida’s spot in February; Lynne Moore; Anna Sanchez Wheeler; and Douglas Goupil will compete for the seat in the Aug. 3 primary election. The winner squares off against Republican Joe Davis in the Nov. 2 general election. The 4th District consists of Bangor Township and western Bay City, with borders of Eight Mile Road, Midland Road and Wenona Road. Maillette, a former Bangor Township trustee, has served on the board since February, when Klida was appointed as Bay County district judge. Maillette said the most important issue heading into 2011 is balancing the county’s budget. “We are receiving less and less revenue sharing,” she said. “That’s a difficult thing.” But Maillette said she feels confident she can work with all department heads and unions to lighten the blow of the foreseen budget problem. To get her name out, Maillette plans to go door-to-door and speak at public events. “I worked really hard to get here,” she said. “I think it’s important to have a voice in what is happening today.” Moore, a retired human resources specialist for the Bangor Township school district, said she knew she should run for the position after making a presentation to commissioners last winter. When Klida left the board, Moore threw her hat into the ring to replace her but wasn’t chosen for the job. “They said they were impressed by my presentation and told me to run in the primary,” she said. She points to eight years of experience as union president of the Bangor Township Educational Support Personnel as a major reason she is qualified for the job. To help with the county’s budget, Moore pointed to eliminating the benefits commissioners receive. “Bay County commissioners are not full-time employees,” she said. “Right now, they are considered full time and get fully paid benefits, and I am opposed to that.” A massage technician from Bangor Township, Anna Sanchez Wheeler, 38, hopes to bring a young face into local government. “I think people will be happy that I am someone

who is young and interested in getting involved,” said Sanchez Wheeler. “I will get that younger crowd involved because that’s important.” She said her son recently graduated from Bay City Western High School, giving her an opportunity to become more involved in the community. In the meantime, she plans to attend county board meetings. “I’m still doing my homework and learning,” she said, “but I can handle the level of commitment, I’m a good listener and a good leader.” Goupil, an electrical engineer from Bay City, said he’s confident in his ability to talk with department and union heads when it comes to trimming the county’s budget. “When you look at cutting costs, you need to start at the top,” he said. “Making cuts doesn’t mean cutting employees. Don’t the employees do all the work?” Goupil, who ran in 2008 as an independent and as a Democrat for Klida’s spot in February, hopes to bring his experience with the Bangor Township school district to the county board. For him, being on the commission will allow more contacts with school administrators across the county. “I want to focus on education,” he said. “I want to bring the alternative energy programs to other school districts.” While Goupil said he doesn’t have much money and is still attending Delta College and Saginaw Valley State University to obtain his education certification, he said he’s a direct person who won’t make empty promises. “You’re only as good as your word,” he said.

BAY CITY — Marguerita P. “Rita” Greve is being remembered by family and friends as a woman who enjoyed the simple things in life — a walk along the beach, nature, sculpting and being at home with her family. “She and my dad, Lucius, were a very glamorous couple about town,” said her son, Bay City attorney Guy Greve. “But it was the A Life simple things she enjoyed Remembered the most. She was just as happy taking a stroll on the beach as being in an exotic place or social event.” Greve, 95, died of congestive heart failure on Wednesday at her Bay City home.

They would do art projects,” he said. “She never had a bad word for anybody.” Elizabeth Martin was one of those children who spent time in Rita Greve’s studio, making clay imprints of her hands. “She was very generous, teaching kids how to do things,” she said. “She is just a wonderful memory. One of the good people. She was always upbeat, sharing that upbeat part of her life with everybody else.” In the public part of her life, Greve is a sculptor of some renown, being commissioned by the former Saginaw General and St. Mary’s hospitals to do sculptures for their grounds, as well as many other corporate and individual commissions. She designed the Women of Distinction Award of Princess Wenonah that was awarded to three women every other year by the YWCA of Bay County. She was affiliated with art museums and was the recipient of many solo exhibit and best-of-show recognitions in Michigan and Florida. One of her pieces, the New Century Recognition Award, a desktop trophy awarded by the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce to an area high school each year, will be enlarged to life size to become the first sculpture in Delta College’s new sculpture garden. “We wanted to make sure there was a local connection with our initial effort,” said Pam Clark, executive director of the Delta College Foundation. “She had ties to our department, a number of our artists worked with her. Since the 1980s, she has donated clay and other art supplies for their projects. We’re in Bay County and we wanted a Bay County connection. There were a number of levels where it just seemed right.”

Rita and Lu Greve. In addition to her art work, Greve was a poet, penning “As Seen Through My Eyes,” which had its second printing in 2002. “It is full of all kinds of nice poems,” said Martin. “They are mostly related to her life, which connects to nature.” Her poems also have been published in the National Library of Poets and she was first listed in “The World’s Who’s Who of Women” in 1973. Greve was on the Charity Ball Committee, a member of the Bay City Garden Club and one of the first board members of Studio 23. “She was a great lady,” said Charlie Schwartz, a Studio 23 board member. “She and her husband were instrumental in keeping Studio 23 moving along and progressing as it did. Both she and her husband were very much the backbone of the organization.” She and husband “Lu” were long-standing members of the Saginaw Bay Yacht Club and First Presbyterian Church. The couple enjoyed summer cruises to the North Channel aboard their classic Chris Craft, “Fair Lady,” named for Greve. Much of Greve’s inspiration for her work came from her walks along the beach and those trips. “She and dad had a fantastic marriage,” said Guy Greve. “It was one of those love affairs. They were married 61 years.” There was another side to Greve as well — an athletic side. She swam every day in the Saginaw Bay until she was 80 and then there was her basketball career back in her Canadian high school. “She was the jumping center on her basketball team,” said Ric Greve. She was very proud of that. She was 5-foot-7, in those days that was pretty tall. She was also an avid tennis player. She gave me my interest in sports.” Services for Greve are 1 p.m. today at First Presbyterian Church, 805 Center Ave. Arrangements are by the Penzien-Steele Funeral Home, 608 N. Madison Ave.

More patrols slated for Au Sable

ROSCOMMON — The state Department of Natural Resources and Environment will increase patrols on the Au Sable River for the remainder of the summer because of an increase in “incidents and complaints” to law enforcement agencies. Local law enforcement, including the DNRE, U.S. Forest Service, area sheriff’s departments and state police have reported increased use in recent years on the Au Sable River, a National Wild and Scenic River. The Au Sable stretches about 129 miles as it winds its way through Otsego, Crawford, Roscommon, Oscoda, Alcona and Iosco counties on its way to Lake Huron. Along with this use, police have seen a rise in resource damage, littering, obscene conduct, alcohol violations, disorderly behavior and illegal drug use, said Lt. Creig Grey, DNRE Law Enforcement Division supervisor in Roscommon. “Summertime brings increased watercraft activities throughout Michigan,” Grey said. “Public lands and waterways are

abundant with visitors seeking recreational opportunities. “The rivers within the Huron-Manistee National Forest experience an influx of recreationists participating in canoeing, kayaking and boating, and the Au Sable River is no exception.” Grey said local law enforcement will increase patrols with aggressive enforcement planned for those caught violating any state law or federal regulation. “There have been several incidents along the Au Sable River in recent weeks that required the attention of area law enforcement agencies,” Grey said. “This, combined with public complaints, have led to law enforcement’s need to address inappropriate behavior for the protection of the resource and the people who use it.” People are encouraged to remember safety, to follow the rules and to respect the resource, Grey said. “Irresponsible users will affect future opportunities and experiences for all watercraft enthusiasts,” he said. Citizens who witness illegal, dangerous or disorderly behavior are encouraged to call 911.

A SECTION THE BAY CITY TIMES

HOEKSTRA Grass-roots Republican has conducted meet-the-voter bicycle tours for elections since 1992

“Leadership is personal,” he said. “I saw Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama. I don’t believe in his policies, but Clinton was the master. “He reached out to people on a personal level, and the guy was flexible.” Reaching out to people has been a mark of this campaign.

On the road Michigan’s 2nd Congressional District is a Republican bedrock that curves from Saugatuck to Frankfort along Lake Michigan’s shoreline, extending inland only a county or two. Its largest city is Muskegon, followed closely by Holland. This is where Hoekstra has pedaled in a meet-thevoter bicycle tour every election season since 1992. It is a strategy that returned the Dutch immigrant from Ottawa County to Washington for nine, two-year terms. By day, he would become privy to deep national security secrets, and by night, he would rest in the same bed he has kept since arriving in the nation’s capital: his office couch. This year, Hoekstra is extending the tour to the rest of the state, forgoing the job he’s held for nearly 18 years in hopes of securing a new one. Far from the governor campaign’s biggest spender, it is a part of his strategy that makes advisers nervous. Working on her father’s campaign, Erin Hoekstra has had to argue in favor of the tactic that has been so successful in the past, Hoekstra said. Something is working. Polls show Hoekstra at or near the front of the Republican pack. Hoekstra won’t be using the chief executive’s office to fuel presidential ambitions. If elected, he’d be the second Michigan governor in a row born outside the U.S. — disqualifying him for the nation’s top office. Born Oct. 30, 1953, in Groningen, Netherlands, Hoekstra immigrated to Michigan with his family when he was 3. He is a graduate of Holland Christian High School and Hope College with a political science degree. He and his wife, Diane, met while students at Holland Christian. The pair dated off and on through high school and college and married after he graduated from Hope. They moved to Ann Arbor, where she

He plans to cycle 1,000 miles throughout Michigan for his gubernatorial campaign. worked to help pay for his master’s degree in business administration at U-M. The couple have three children: Erin, now 28; Allison, 25; and Bryan, 22. After he was elected to Congress, they decided to keep their young family in Holland. Weekends, Hoekstra would cart a laundry basket full of tennis balls to the courts to help Erin with her game, his wife said. Bryan was a state championship soccer player. The two would go out on weekends to practice on the local soccer field. The children learned the value of hard work. “Grandpa Hoekstra’s quote, ‘Hoekstras aren’t quitters,’ was passed down through the generations,” Diane Hoekstra said. “Erin once tried to quit the flute in high school, an idea that was not well-received by her father. They finally came to an agreement that she could drop the flute but needed to sign up for an advanced academic course in its place.”

Political philosophy formed After earning his master’s degree, Hoekstra took a management position with Herman Miller Inc., an office furniture manufacturer near his hometown. The philosophy at Herman Miller was “participatory,” where management was encouraged to work cooperatively with the employees, said state Sen. Randy Richardville, R-Monroe, who worked with Hoekstra in the late 1980s. “The Herman Miller philosophy of hard work for greater rewards, and getting people who are doing the work involved in the decisions, is part of Pete’s nature,” Richardville said. “People look at actions

more than words when you get here,” he said of state government. “I can see Pete being an effective governor.” Hoekstra said he also learned to “keep it personal” in a small-business development class at U-M. “The professor told us that when we go to our first job out of grad school, we should take a stack of index cards and each day write down names of people we met and one impression of them,” Hoekstra recalled. “If at the end of the first year, we didn’t have 500 cards, we weren’t doing our jobs.” The advice stuck. Hoekstra collected 500-plus cards as he began to build his personal network. He used it to move through Herman Miller management, becoming vice president of marketing by 1992. That’s when Hoekstra returned to his undergraduate interest in politics.

A congressional veteran He had never before run for public office and wasn’t involved in Republican Party politics when he put his name on the ballot in an improbable spot: the GOP primary for the 2nd Congressional District. In a classic David-andGoliath story, Hoekstra took on 26-year incumbent Guy VanderJagt, the Republicans’ senior member of the powerful Ways and Means Committee and head of the Republican House Campaign Committee. Hoekstra campaigned on the theme that VanderJagt, who essentially lived in Washington, had lost touch with his district. Hoekstra vowed he would serve no more than 12 years and forgo the taint of political action committee donations. He saved up vacation

time and jumped on his bike, pedaling from Cadillac in the north to Holland in the south. The political rookie pulled off a stunning upset in the three-way primary — it included a former state lawmaker — and gathered 46 percent of the vote. He spent $55,600 to VanderJagt’s $725,000. Hoekstra cruised to an easy victory in the general election. He has had no difficult opposition since. He won his last six re-elections with an average of 66.8 percent of the vote. During the early years, Hoekstra was part of Newt Gingrich’s “Contract with America,” which put Republicans in charge of the House for the first time since 1954. By 2002, Hoekstra had obtained a seat on the House Intelligence Committee, which he eventually would head, thrusting him into the national spotlight in the post 9/11 world. But Hoekstra’s decision to run for a seventh two-year term in 2004 — disavowing his promise to serve just 12 years — upset some in his district, as did his decision to accept PAC money. At the time, Hoekstra said he learned longevity in Congress brings political clout to a congressman’s district and the ability to work effectively on critical issues. “Isn’t it healthy to have a politician make a mistake and change his mind?” Hoekstra said. Critics said he sold out. “These are simply attempts to rationalize and obfuscate the real issue — the sacrifice of his integrity and honor along with truth and public trust,” Glenn Hop, the former Republican Party chairman for the district, wrote in a 2003 newspaper column.

Bones to pick Hoekstra has a reputation for being unafraid to engage opponents. Although he will listen, he is aggressive in furthering his own views, said Steve Keglovitz, president of the eight-county West Michigan Labor Council. “He’ll speak his own mind,” said Keglovitz, a former paper union president in Muskegon and now head of the Muskegon County Democratic Party. “When he has a bone to pick, he has no problems picking it. As governor, he’d scare me.” Still, even opponents give him high marks for tenacity. “My knowledge of (Hoekstra) is that he is a hardwork-

Hope for permanently plugging the leak lies with two relief wells, the first of which may be finished in August. The process begun Saturday has two major phases: removing equipment on top of the leak and installing new gear designed to fully contain the flow of oil. BP was next attempting to remove the bolted top flange that partially completed the seal with the cap that was moved Saturday. Removal of the top flange was expected to start Saturday, Wells said, and could last into Monday, depending on whether it can

be pulled off from above, as BP hopes. If not, a specially designed tool will be used to pry apart the top and bottom flanges. Once it’s removed, a piece of equipment called a flange transition spool will be lowered and bolted in its place. But before that happens, BP has to bind together two sections of drill pipe that are in the gushing well head, which the transition spool will cover. After the flange transition spool is bolted in place, the new cap can be lowered. The equipment, weighing 150,000 pounds, is designed to seal the leak and provide connections for new vessels on the surface to collect oil. The cap has valves that can restrict the flow of oil and shut it in, if it can withstand the enormous pressure.

Stoning on hold TEHRAN, Iran — The lawyer for an Iranian widow sentenced to be stoned to death for an adultery conviction expressed cautious optimism Saturday after Iran said it will review the decision. Stoning was widely imposed in the years following the 1979 Islamic revolution, and even though Iran’s judiciary still regularly hands down such sentences, they are often converted to other punishments. The last known stoning was carried out in 2007. Human rights activists and other officials warned that Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, a 43-year-old mother of two, still could be hanged.

PT Cruiser symbolized Chrysler’s fall

DEE-ANN DURBIN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT — A decade ago, the PT Cruiser roared onto the road with trendsetting looks and Al Capone swagger. In a sea of bland Honda Civics and Toyota Camrys, it was a retro hit. Chrysler barely could keep up with demand. Friday morning, the last Cruiser rolled off the assembly line in Mexico, finally killed off after years of declining popularity. Chrysler sold 18,000 last year, compared with nearly 145,000 in 2001. What happened in between is symbolic of the larger problems that helped drive Chrysler into bankruptcy — and a cautionary tale for its new owners, who are planning to release a similarly stylish car this year. “I remember the first time I saw one at an auto show. It was jaw-dropping,” said John McEleney, an Iowa car dealer who sold Chryslers at the time. The Cruiser appealed to everyone from retirees to customizers to young people looking for something spacious and inexpensive, said Aaron Bragman, an analyst with IHS Automotive who owned a turbocharged PT Cruiser GT. But Chrysler failed to invest in the car or think of ways to expand its appeal beyond new paint colors or a convertible top. Although fans clamored for two-door and panel van versions, Chrysler never made a significant update. “If Chrysler had invested money in a major restyling, there could have been a positive payback on that,” McEleney said. While the Cruiser was waning, Chrysler was starved for resources. After a nine-year partnership with Daimler AG, the company was sold in 2007 to

A row of unsold 2007 PT Cruisers sit on the lot of a Chrysler-Jeep dealership in Aurora, Colo. private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management, which led it into bankruptcy last summer. Other Chrysler cars languished in the chaos, including the Sebring sedan, which was panned for its cheap materials and mediocre performance. While Chrysler’s new owner, Fiat Group SpA, plans to revamp most of its lineup, and new vehicles such as the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee have gotten positive reviews, Chrysler still isn’t updating models as quickly as its competitors are. Between 2011 and 2014, the average Chrysler model will be on the market for 3.1 years, compared with an industry average of 2.5 years or Honda’s 1.9 years, said Merrill Lynch analyst John Murphy. Chrysler has about 5,700 PT Cruisers left for sale and has been selling about 1,000 per month. Prices start at about $19,000.

Deadly day in Kabul

A U.S. military vehicle burns after it was hit by a blast in Jalalabad, east of Kabul, Afghanistan. Afghan ofﬁcials said a suicide car bomb hit the convoy and that one person was killed and nine were wounded. A wave of attacks killed six U.S. troops and at least a dozen civilians Saturday in the volatile south and east, as American reinforcements moved into Taliban-dominated areas. In neighboring Pakistan, two suicide bombings Friday killed 102 people. RAHMAT GUL | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEOUL, South Korea — In a political about-face, a commission investigating a century of human rights abuses has ruled that the U.S. military’s large-scale killing of refugees during the Korean War, in case after case, arose out of military necessity. Shutting down the inquiry into South Korea’s hidden history, the commission also will leave unexplored scores of suspected mass graves believed to hold remains of tens of thousands of South Korean political detainees summarily executed by their own government early in the 1950-53 war, sometimes as U.S. officers watched. The most shocking disclosures emerged from the war that began when communist North Korea invaded the south on June 25, 1950, to try to reunify the peninsula. The commission was the first government authority to publicly confirm what long had only been whispered: The U.S.-allied South Korean military and police carried out a vast secretive slaughter of political detainees in mid1950. Up to 200,000 were killed, historians believe. Hundreds of petitions to the commission told another story as well, of more than 200 incidents in which the U.S. military was said to have indiscriminately killed large numbers of innocent South Korean civilians in 1950-51.

Unemployment beneﬁts dry up

Obituary & Funeral Notices

Without legislative action, out-of-work residents will be cut off Labor woes

JUSTIN ENGEL FOR THE BAY CITY TIMES

SAGINAW — Rewind to Christmas 2008, when Belinda F. Buck and her two children celebrated the holiday with gifts aplenty in their $200,000 Sterling Heights home. “It used to be whatever they wanted, they got: laptops, iPods, Nintendos,” said Buck, 47, who worked 40 hours per week for $16 an hour in Sterling Heights. Now, as a home care provider who works for Saginaw Townshipbased Primary Home Care, Buck works 14 hours a week and earns $8 an hour. Her wages and hours were slashed in October. Last Christmas, at an $865-a-month Saginaw Township town house, Buck and her two teenage children — and her 50-year-old sister and 15-year-old niece — celebrated the holiday with no presents under the tree. “They were disappointed, but they knew it was something we had to sacrifice,” Buck said. “To see them not get anything for Christmas, though ...” Hard-luck living is something new to Buck. And it could get worse, for her and millions of others in America. The U.S. Senate so far has not signed a bill that would have continued national unemployment extension benefits. Buck’s unemployment checks could stop arriving in six months. She is among 408,000 Michigan residents facing a shortened timeline to collect benefits. Last weekend, 87,000 lost benefits. By January, Buck will count herself among 6,994 Saginaw County residents who will fall off the program this year unless Congress OKs

About 408,000 unemployed workers were collecting either state- or federally-funded unemployment beneﬁts in Michigan when June began. Here’s a look at the estimated number of Saginaw, Bay and Midland county residents who will exhaust state and/or federal unemployment beneﬁts in the months to come unless the U.S. Senate acts to extend them.

face a shorter timeline. It works like this: An employee who loses her job becomes eligible for state unemployment benefits — which range from $117 to $362 weekly, depending on the income from the job lost — for 26 weeks, or nearly seven months, said Norm Isotalo, spokesman for the state’s Unemployment Insurance Agency. What is off the table — for the moment, at least — is the extension program the federal government began offering in 2008, he said. Recipients of the statefunded compensation were eligible to request up to 73 weeks in federal help. Those 73 weeks were broken up into five spans: 20-, 14-, 13-, and six-week periods, and another 20week period. The first four federal continuations were called “tiers,” while the final 20 weeks were part of a separate federal extension, Isotalo said. Recipients had to apply for each tier. He said 1,828 residents in Saginaw County saw their unemployment benefits expire last month. While members of the U.S. House of Representatives approved extending Waiting for help the benefits through Nov. While Buck has 24 weeks 30, a 58-38 Senate vote remaining for her unemfailed to advance the bill ployment benefits, others before a July break for Conthe legislation. Buck two weeks ago began collecting $220 in state unemployment checks because she is considered “underemployed.” When she signed up, it appeared she would have a two-year window of government aid — state help followed by federal extensions — to find a solution to her diminished income and lifestyle. Since the cut in job hours and pay — coupled with a separation from her husband — Buck and her 17-year-old son and 13year-old daughter have made sacrifices outside their gift-free Christmas. Soon, they may have to cut their phone line, eliminate their TV service and let their car insurance expire, she said. “We’re going some days without food,” Buck said. And that town house rental? On Monday, Buck will fight an eviction notice at the Saginaw County Circuit Court that could force her family, sister and niece to move in with her mother or brother by month’s end. “Whatever it takes to survive,” she said, “whatever it takes.”

gress. The group needed a 60-vote “supermajority” to bypass a potential filibuster. U.S. Sen. Carl Levin, DDetroit, and Debbie Stabenow, D-Lansing, voted for the extension. The legislation also attracted the backing of two Republican senators. But when Democrat Robert Byrd died and Nebraska Democrat Ben Nelson voted “no,” the bill fell short. It’s unclear when lawmakers could revisit the issue. Congress reconvenes Monday. Officials estimate 2.1 million people nationally will have lost benefits by then.

Crash and burn Advocates say the aid is a lifeline for millions of Americans struggling in a job market that reported a 9.5 national percent unemployment rate last month. Michigan’s unemployment rate in May was 13.6 percent, while Saginaw County’s rate was 12.3 percent. Opponents of the benefits argue supporting the outof-work puts a strain on the federal budget and creates a lax unemployed demographic less prone to seek work as they cash government checks. Analysts estimate the benefit extension comes with a $33.3 billion price

tag. “The argument in Congress is that some members felt paying for these would drive up the national debt,” Isotalo said. “They wanted funding sources for the additional benefits.” Mark S. Lewis understands the politics. That doesn’t mean he agrees. “I can understand worrying about (the debt), but if you’re looking that far down the road, it’s no wonder you can’t see what’s right ahead of you,” said Lewis, a 54-year-old Williams Township resident who has sent 600 job applications while collecting unemployment since losing his mechanical designer job in January 2009. “We (send) billions of dollars to foreign countries who don’t need it, and the people who do need it — who live in this country — can’t get it. How does it help our grandkids if we let things crash and burn now?” Lewis is collecting federal benefits, though he’s unsure when he may receive his final $362 check. Like Buck, Lewis is considered “underemployed” since picking up a 20-houra-week, part-time job as a customer service official at Freeland’s MBS International Airport three months ago. He is attempting to avoid bankruptcy as he and his wife, Delores, extended by years the mortgage on their mobile home. He made $21 an hour at his last job. She works at a drugstore in Midland. If they can’t afford to keep their lone vehicle, Lewis said he may be forced to delay his effort to earn a boiler technician training degree from Delta College, which could, in turn, hamper his long-term employment prospects.

What's in the sky? Today’s solar eclipse in the South Pacific means that the Moon is new tonight, and its light won't interfere with viewing of faint objects such as M-13, the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules, or M-8, the Lagoon Nebula in Sagittarius. Venus sets at 10:49 p.m. Mars sets at 11:30 p.m. Jupiter rises at 12:04 a.m. Saturn sets at 12:05 a.m. Source: Morrison Planetarium

Weather history How much damage did the costilest hailstorm in U.S. history cause? Well, on this date in 1990, a hailstorm along the Front Range in the Rockies produced baseball-sixed hail that stripped trees, damaged cars and knocked out power to thousands. The final damage tally was at $625 million.

Jehovah’s Witness convention coming to Saginaw’s Dow Event Center

SAILS Festivals mean money for businesses “I mean, people just kept coming in. Our store is half nautical- and water-themed (merchandise), so it is kind of a nice fit for us.” Rob Bash, owner of Sweet Boutique, 816 Washington Ave. in downtown Bay City, also has been preparing. He will have some special sweets prepared in honor of the tall ships. “We’ll have some nautical-themed chocolates, we’ll do cookies with flags on them, truffles, s’mores — that sort of thing,” Bash said. “We’re expecting big business traffic.” Beth R. Dore, owner of Duso’s Bar, 604 E. Midland St., said she has been preparing her establishment for more than six months. Dore has turned her 40-foot bar into a “ship” that sails on a sea of lights. The ship has three adjustable sails, a “deck” and bowsprit. “We are the 13th ship, but we’re permanently here,” Dore said. “We’re not leaving port anytime soon.” Dore, who reopened Duso’s last year, said she expects a lot of business. “The bay, the water, the boats,” Dore said, “it’s a part of Bay City’s history — I love it.” Bay City businessman Art Dore said he is expecting heavier traffic at his restaurant BARTS, 804 E. Midland St., than he saw during this year’s Bay City Fireworks Festival, an event that draws more than 100,000 people. “I think that the difference is, the fireworks celebration, people bring their families, they come in town and they leave,” he said. “They don’t spend a lot of money. But, I think the tall ships — from my experiences before — people stay in town for two or three days and they just spend money.” Annette Rummel, chief executive officer of the Great Lakes Bay Regional Convention and Visitors Bureaus, said Bay City’s Tall Ship Celebration is likely to have a big impact financially for the region. “I think attendance at the past two events (Dow Bay City River Roar and Bay City Fireworks Festival) was very strong, and I think the tall ships being a unique venue for tourism is going to have an even stronger impact.” Rummel said the convention and visitors bureau has been contacted by people in Europe about this year’s Tall Ship Celebration. “I think the fact that the event is taking place is good not only for direct tourism, but it’s also going to heighten the identity of Bay City globally,” Rummel said.

include demonstrations and interviews with members on how to apply Bible principles in their professional and personal lives, he said. “It’s geared for husbands, wives, parents, children, all parts of the family,” Ferriss said. The convention begins at 9:20 a.m. Friday; the three-day convention will repeat again July 23 and 30. Ferriss said it is free, and open to the public and no collections are taken.

California, Florida and Canada and has booked 17 bus tour groups from Michigan, Indiana and Ohio. Many hotels in the Great Lakes Bay Region — including almost every hotel in Bay County — are booked solid. Those still looking for rooms may have the best luck in Midland and Saginaw, where some hotels still had dozens of rooms available as of Friday afternoon. The Doubletree hotel and conference center, 1 Wenonah Park Place in downtown Bay City, has been booked for more than six months, according to Tim Shelton, director of sales and marketing at the hotel. Rooms are available across the street from the Doubletree at the recentlyopened Three Palms Hotel, 501 Saginaw St. Those rooms are going for as low as $50 per night. But, there’s a catch. Guests will not have hot water because gas lines at the hotel haven’t being activated, according to Dineshkumar R. “Nick” Patel, the hotel’s operator. Patel said he has been making improvements to the former Super 8 hotel in downtown Bay City. He said the hotel has air conditioning and electricity, but no gas. If you don’t mind a cold shower, you can book a room at Three Palms by calling (989) 892-3501. Hotels aren’t the only ones benefiting, said Roberts, who helped plan Bay City’s Tall Ship Celebrations in 2001, 2003 and 2006. Restaurants and bars, grocery stores, gas stations, gift shops, retail stores, casinos and sporting goods stores also will be ringing up the registers, she said. “If you imagine the kinds of things you do when you go out of town, on a vacation, or a business trip, or otherwise. Its convenience stores, gas stations, maybe grocery stores, and then the list just goes on and on,” said Roberts. Many Bay City business owners have been preparing for months for the fleet of 12 tall ships — including Bay City’s own Appledore IV and Appledore V — that will dock in the Saginaw River along Wenonah and Veterans Memorial parks. Janet Beeck, operator and manager of Wind & Willows on the River, said the shop at 923 N. Water St. was so busy during the 2006 Tall Ship Celebration that she is extending her hours this year until at least 8 p.m. “Four years ago, I couldn’t even close the store until like 9-10 (p.m.),” she said.

JOHANNESBURG — After all the bluster about Brazil and the awe inspired by Germany, the World Cup comes down to two of the all-time underachievers playing for their first title. Spain and the Netherlands, teams with long histories of wasting their biggest opportunities, meet Sunday at Soccer City to conclude the first World Cup held in Africa. What began as a celebration of this continent, then turned into a South American fiesta for two rounds, finishes off with one European country discarding its also-ran label. Which one? “I am sure the Spanish can win any game because they are dominant and it’s hard to contain their attack,” Germany coach Joachim Loew said after his World Cup Final team lost Third-place game: 1-0 in the Germany 3, Uruguay 2 semifinals. “They have Today: Spain vs. Netherlands, 1:30 p.m., shown they can beat ABC • Visit mlive.com/soccer for anyone.” Perhaps. more coverage But ... “The Dutch can create a goal from any situation,” coach Oscar Tabarez said after his Uruguay squad allowed three to the Netherlands, one more than it gave up in the rest of the tournament. “They play some beautiful football.” How nice it would be if this final featured just that: well-played, open, creative soccer. That’s what both the Dutch and Spaniards do best. So if coaches Bert van Marwijk and Vicente del Bosque don’t turn conservative all of a sudden, Sunday’s showdown could turn into one entertaining shootout. “I love attacking and beautiful football,” the Netherlands’ Van Marwijk said, “but you have to work together when the opponent has the ball and then you can go a long way.” The Dutch have gone a long way in the World Cup before. They simply couldn’t finish it off in 1974 and 1978, losing in the final to host teams West Germany and Argentina. They carry one of the most impressive strings of success into the championship match that soccer has seen: 10 straight wins and 25 games without a loss. If they beat Spain, the Dutch will match Brazil’s 1970 accomplishment of sweeping all qualifying and World Cup games. See CUP, B5

Rick Ruse of Bay City plays a game of pool at My Bar. Ruse is a member of the bar’s pool team, which plans to compete in Las Vegas in August.

BAY CITY — Some claim there aren’t many places to shoot pool in Bay City. But nobody claims there isn’t a wealth of talented players in the area. “There are some players that play four or five nights a week,” local player Mark Vorworck said. “There are a lot of good players that play not only in leagues, but at local weekend tournaments as well.” The Bay City pool scene has produced several shooters who have made an impact at the state and national levels in the past year. Rick Schroeder captured first place in the Men’s Masters division this year at the Michigan Valley Nation-

al Eight-Ball Association State Pool Championships. Mike Wegener and Tim Williams qualified for the U.S. Amateur Championship last fall and the My Bar team qualified for the national tournament in Las Vegas next month. “We are all very excited to to get the chance to compete against such wonderful talent,” said Carol Hewitt, owner of My Bar and a member of Team My Bar. “I’ll be playing twice a week and practicing once a week in order to be ready for the tournament.” While summer isn’t a peak time for competition, the die-hard competitors still come out to local hot spots like My Bar and Auburn Hotel to take part in leagues. Some top-level competitors have found it difficult to find a game around town, however, as fewer

establishments are offering competitive leagues and tournaments. Hewitt said the possibility of fights breaking out is a big reason why more pool locations are not in the area, although she doesn’t think it’s a legitimate reason. “My Bar has been in my family for 36 years and in those years, I’ve only witnessed three fights,” she said. “But I think for liability reasons, people are scared to open up a pool hall. “It used to be pretty easy to find a tournement, but now the top players are looking for better payouts and, for the most part, the high-paying tournaments are few and far between around here.” For Vorworck, one of the major changes he has witnessed has See POOL, B2

Southwest LL, North Saginaw meet in winners bracket game Only one will remain unbeaten

Loons second baseman Rafael Ynoa has improved at the plate

THE BAY CITY TIMES

HUGH BERNREUTER FOR THE BAY CITY TIMES

MIDLAND — A funny thing happened on the way to the good-field, no-hit reputation. Rafael Ynoa started to hit. The Great Lakes Loons second baseman entered Saturday’s game at Dayton with a 13Rafael Ynoa game hitting streak and a .304 batting average. He has steadily moved up the Loons batting order, jumping from the nine spot to the first or second spot in the order. He has a .355 onbase percentage and a .400 slugging percentage, gaudy numbers for a 185-pound infielder who is known for his glove. “Who can tell?” Great Lakes manager Juan Bustabad said. “He’s just hitting the ball well now. It’s one of those things that happens. You couldn’t predict Jerry Sands was going to hit all those homers either.” But Sands entered the 2010 season with a reputation as a power hitter. Ynoa entered the 2010 season with a .226 career batting average and just one homer in four minor-league seasons ... and that came in

Rafael Ynoa steals second as West Michigan’s Hernan Perez takes the throw during an April game. 2007 with the Los Angeles Dodgers Dominican Summer League. “The difference this year is I’m more aggressive at the plate,” Ynoa said. “When I see a good pitch, I’m hitting it. My swing is good on it. I’m just trying to make good contact.” Sometimes that contact results in more than just a weak single. He has 12 doubles and four homers, both career highs for the 22year-old infielder. “I’m not looking for homers, but it happened,” Ynoa said. “It surprises me. I just try to hit line drives, and sometimes they go out. When you get good swings and make good contact,

sometimes homers happen.” Ynoa’s offense is surprising, but his defense isn’t. He has lived up to his reputation as a solid defensive second baseman. Ynoa has just three errors this season and took a 51-game errorless streak into Saturday night’s game. “I played shortstop some last year at Ogden and I was comfortable there, but they moved me to second base and I became more comfortable,” Ynoa said. “I feel like second base is my position. Part of it is my throw. Sometimes I throw a sinker and from shortstop it sinks more before it gets to first base. At second base, the throw is shorter, and it doesn’t have a chance to sink.”

Ynoa didn’t have a strong start to the season. He shared time at second base with Pedro Guerrero, who has since been moved to Ogden. “Playing every day makes a big difference,” Ynoa said. “You get in a rhythm so that if you have a good day or a bad day, you are still playing and you don’t have to put pressure on every atbat. When you go up to the plate, you can make adjustments easier when you’re playing every day. When you don’t play every day, it’s hard to make adjustments. “When you get more playing time, you’re able to feel more comfortable. Right now, I feel very comfortable.”

Wings see rocky season as learning for McCollum

ANSAR KHAN

FOR THE BAY CITY TIMES

DETROIT — The Detroit Red Wings aren’t reading too much into goaltender Tomas McCollum’s rocky first season with the Grand Rapids Griffins. They see it as a learning experience that many young goalies go through while transitioning from amateur to pro. “There’s one good goaltender underneath that jersey, and we just got to find a way to get it out of him,” Griffins coach Curt Fraser said during Red Wings development camp at Joe Louis Arena. “I think this year he’s going to show us all why Detroit took him so high and why we think the world of this kid.” McCollum, Detroit’s first-round pick in 2008 (30th overall), went 1016-2 with a 3.48 goalsagainst average and .881 save percentage as Daniel Larsson’s backup in Grand Rapids. Now that Larsson has returned to Sweden,

McCollum has a chance to earn the starting job with the Griffins. He’ll be competing with veteran Joey MacDonald, signed last week to a one-year contract. “I’m really looking forward to working with Joey,” McCollum, 20, said. “I think we’ll be a good partnership. We can really push each other. He’s a very experienced player, there’s a lot I can learn from him.” McCollum said he finished 2009-10 on an upswing and believes he has sorted out some technical issues in his game. “My last 10 starts I really focused on being a lot more patient and let the play come to me,” McCollum said. “Once I stopped rushing everything, I felt I was in much better position, much more in control. That’s where my season really turned around. “I want to work on playing at the top of the crease, use my size (6foot-2, 205) to my advantage. I know if I stay out

and try to make guys beat me with the shot, there’s not much room to put the puck in the net.” Said Fraser: “Tommy moves so well and looks so good out here, he’s just got to take that into his games. In a couple of years he’ll be great for this Detroit Red Wing team.” Growing up just outside of Niagara Falls, N.Y., McCollum was a huge fan of the Buffalo Sabres and their all-world goalie Dominik Hasek. He learned at an early age that he wasn’t flexible enough to mimic Hasek’s unorthodox style, but he can copy his work ethic. “I heard nothing but great things about how hard he worked,” McCollum said.

Brennan Boesch. I understand the reluctance to elect players who have not HUGH Bernreuter played the entire season hbernreuteri@ thesaginawnews.com in the majors, like Boesch and Stephen Strasburg. Some of the stats are skewed. So I’m willing to ignore the .344 batting average or the near.400 on-base percentage and maybe even the .603 slugging percentage. But 12 homers and 46 RBIs after Monday’s fourwalk game leaves him in pretty good company, especially when he started three weeks later than his peers. To not make the all-star game, as a rookie, is understandable. To not even get in the “Final Vote” where five qualified players compete for the final spot through an online vote is embarrassing to baseball.

The Indiana Pacers’ Bryce Taylor makes a shot during the ﬁrst half of an NBA summer league basketball game against the Boston Celtics on Thursday in Orlando, Fla.

LAS VEGAS — When you stand next to Austin Daye on the sidelines, you can tell there is something different about him. His NBA Summer League coach says he is different on the court, too. Pistons assistant coach Pat Sullivan, who is coaching the Pistons in Summer League play, said Daye has been more assertive this year than he was when he showed up at Summer League as a rookie last year. “Last year, the first day or two I didn’t even know he was out here,” Sullivan said. “He had a great week, but the first practice or two I didn’t know.” “I know he’s here (this year). He’s had some good practices here. He’s really done a nice job.” Daye has spent most of the summer in Las Vegas working out in an attempt to add weight to his long, wiry frame. He has had some success. He now has 207 pounds on his 6-foot11 frame, up eight or nine pounds since his playing weight last season. While Daye is working off the court to get bigger, on the court, he is working on learning to use his height advantage more effectively.

LAS VEGAS — The Detroit Pistons won their Summer League opener, which isn’t really important. Except that it is. No one ever remembers a team’s won-loss record from Summer League, but the Pistons felt good about how they fought down the stretch Friday night in an 89-84 win against the Los Angeles Lakers. Shooting guard Austin Daye said winning is important no matter what time of year it is. “We had one goal in mind — to win as many games as possible,” Daye said. “At the end of the game, we were fortunate to grind it out, get some stops and get a big win.” The Pistons trailed by as many as 13 points in the game, but overcame the deficit with an impressive rally in the fourth quarter. Daye had 12 points in the fourth quarter and Jonas Jerebko contributed even though he didn’t have his best game on the court. “He didn’t play great, but his attitude was awesome in the huddle,” said Pistons assistant Pat Sullivan, who is coaching the team. “He just wouldn’t let us lose. He kept telling the guys, keep fighting, keep scrapping. That’s his mentality anyway, but for me, as a

young coach, he helped so much.” Jerebko made a free throw late in the game to break an 84-84 tie late in the game and second-round draft pick Terrico White made a key shot with 14.1 seconds left to give the Pistons a threepoint lead. First-round pick Greg Monroe had a dunk to give the Pistons some breathing room and put an exclamation point on the win. Of all the nice performances the Pistons had from their key players, Daye’s stood out. “I t hought A.D. was our best player all game long,” Sullivan said.

Trainer tossed Pistons trainer Mike Abdenour was ejected after getting two technical fouls within seconds of each other late in the third quarter. Sullivan said it might be the first time he has ever seen a trainer get thrown out of a Summer League game. “I think so,” he said. “But I’m not surprised, because he’s one of the all-time greats. You can give him the credit. He probably sparked the comeback in some ways. “He told me when it got back to tied that he was off the hook.”

ing to catch the ball as close to the basket and score. Just with my length, I know it’s hard for guys at my position to guard me.” Daye said spending a season in the NBA has paid dividends and that the improvement he has seen in his game justifies his decision to leave Gonzaga after his sophomore season. “The year of experience definitely makes a lot of difference. I thought it would,” Daye said. “I can just tell that, especially coming into here, how much easier it is for me to see things and to score and to make the right defensive plays.” Sullivan challenged Daye and the other two rookies from last season — Jonas Jerebko and DaJuan Summers — heading into Summer League. The three of them — along with veteran point guard Rodney Stuckey, who is working out a bit with the team — are expected to lead their young teammates by example. “I talked to those guys about dominating the Summer League, and not dominating with stats,” Sullivan said. “I talked to them about dominating in here with their work ethic, with their knowledge of what they’re doing, with leadership. “They should be the first guys in the gym, the first guys to the vans, the last guys leaving the gym, first guys in the drills. They’ve all done that.”

BOESCH ‘He’s a big, strong kid who is aggressive and attacking the strike zone’

Cubs) and 47 RBIs. With four plate appearances in tonight’s game with the Minnesota Twins, he will finally qualify for the American League batting race and place near the top. Tigers manager Jim Leyland didn’t hesitate to start the young lefthanded hitter against two of the game’s premier left-handers: CC Sabathia of the New York Yankees and Cliff Lee of the Seattle Mariners. He doubled and homered off Sabathia; doubled and singled off Lee; and is batting .448 against southpaws. The .305 average against right-handers also is pretty good, and nine of his homers have come off righties. Boesch wears the No. 26 that Gates Brown wore as the pinch-hitting star of the 1968 World Series champion Tigers and again as their hitting coach on the championship team of 1984. “And he reminds me of myself,” said Brown, also a left-handed hitter. “He loves to swing. The kid’s aggressive and I like that.” Boesch has walked only 21 times, but has games with three and four walks when teams refused to pitch to him. He likes to swing, for sure, but isn’t going to chase too much out of the strike zone. “He’s aggressive,” Detroit hitting coach Lloyd McClendon said. “He’s a big, strong kid who is aggressive and attacking the strike zone. “That, and the ability to hit the breaking ball, make him dangerous. He picks up spin on the ball, and I played with some good hitters who couldn’t pick up spin.” It is that aggressiveness that Leyland values most. “They throw it and he swings,” Leyland said. “I don’t want him to change anything.

about seeing the ball, and that does help a lot. I can recognize the pitch coming out of the hand.” He is a natural, and it started at a young age. Boesch has been obsessed with hitting for as long as he can remember. “My math teacher in the seventh grade asked me why I didn’t do my homework,” he said. “I told him, ‘I don’t have time to do homework because I have to practice my swing.” Hitting has been a gift from the beginning, but the power didn’t arrive until

last year. Boesch (6-foot-4, 235 pounds) hit 28 homers to lead the Eastern League, but had never hit more than 10 anywhere else in the minors, at Cal-Berkeley or at Harvard-Westlake High in North Hollywood, Calif. It’s all come together for him at 25. “He’s made a splash because other players are talking about him,” Leyland said. “If he doesn’t lose perspective, he’ll be fine. But he’s the real deal. He’s got big-time power and is improving all the time.”

Miami thrice; Cleveland not so nice Welcome to Miami, good riddance from Cleveland

DOUG FERGUSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TIM REYNOLDS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI — Dwyane Wade was on the right side of the photo, then realized that wasn’t the optimal spot for the shortest guy in the frame. So he moved to the middle, LeBron James on one side, Chris Bosh on the other. Picture perfect. Wearing their new uniforms for 13,000 delirious fans, then displaying them hours later for photographers — and even donning them for the contract-signing ceremony in owner Micky Arison’s office — James, Wade and Bosh got their welcoming celebration in Miami on Friday night, formally becoming teammates and probable favorites to win multiple NBA championships. Wade is Miami’s star and Bosh’s decision was the one that seemed to pull it all together, but in many respects, the night was all about James. Farewell, Cleveland. Hello, Miami. “I’ve made the right decision,” the two-time reigning MVP said. A packed arena of Miami Heat fans, plus another 10,000 or so outside the building, couldn’t have been more thrilled to hear James say those words. His acquisition by the Heat became official Friday, and he, Wade and Bosh arrived together in a spectacle typically reserved for rock concerts and award shows. Dressed in a white Heat uniform for the first time, James took a look at his new home crowd, folded his arms across his chest after he and his teammates were dropped from the sky on a forklift, and nodded. The MVP has taken center stage in Miami. “We know what the fans want,” James said. In case there was some question, they told him: Yes, a “Beat L.A.” chant broke out in July, call it an opening salvo aimed at the two-time defending champion Lakers. Great fanfare. Great expectations. “It’s still surreal, man,” Wade said. “Me, Chris and ’Bron. We ready. We want to go to the gym now.” The mood in Cleveland was quite different.

From left, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh talk to Heat fans during an event Friday at the American Airlines Arena in Miami. Workers began dismantling the 10-story-tall iconic image of James on a mural in downtown Cleveland on Saturday. The billboard has dominated the city’s skyline for years but is being removed after the superstar announced he was leaving the Cavaliers. Following James’ announcement to join fellow free-agent stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami, Cavs owner Dan Gilbert posted a letter to Cleveland fans, ripping James for “a several-day narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of the decision unlike anything ever ’witnessed’ in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.” Later, in an interview with the AP, Gilbert accused James of quitting in the playoffs the past two seasons. “LeBron James needs to go to another team with two superstars already so he can win a championship,” Gilbert said. “We will win a championship before (the Heat) do. ... It’s not about him leaving. It’s the disrespect. It’s time for people to hold these athletes accountable for their actions. Is this the way you raise your children? I’ve been holding this all in for a long time.” The Cavaliers did make a sign-and-trade deal with Miami. Cleveland gets two first rounders starting in 2013 and continuing through 2017, and the Heat’s 2012 second-round pick from New Orleans and a future second-round pick Miami acquired from Oklahoma City.

The Cavs also have the right to swap firstround picks with the Heat in 2012. Cleveland also picked up a trade exception that could be worth up to $16 million. After their arrival in Miami, Bosh pointed to the fans and screamed, while Wade aimed his index fingers at the crowd and James strutted about to the fans’ delight. They walked down the stairs to a long runway, slapping high-fives with fans, clapping their hands and soaking in the atmosphere. “We wanted to come here, then LeBron wanted to come,” Bosh said. “Let’s get it done, man. Let’s get this thing going.” The Heat sent two future first-round and two second-round picks to the Cavaliers for James, while packaging two first-round picks to the Raptors for Bosh. “We here now,” James said. “And we’re here for a long time.” Wade, Bosh and James all signed their six-year contracts earlier Friday night, each set to make about $2 million less than the $16.6 million they could have demanded for the coming season. “All three of these gentlemen up here are going to be here for a long time and they’re going to be here for a long time for us to enjoy, thoroughly enjoy,” Heat president Pat Riley said. At the rally, which was announced Friday afternoon — and people still snatched up all 13,000 available seats in an hour — fans were given post-

If Riley gets his way, the party will be the first of many for the NBA’s newest star cluster — a grouping everyone, even Wade, is still getting used to. “When I look around and see No. 6 and No. 1 on the court with me, that’s when it’s going to seem real,” Wade said. James will wear No. 6 in Miami, Bosh No. 1, both having switched their numbers. Wade considered swapping his No. 3 as well. “Then I realized, three is magical, and now it represents more than just my number,” Wade said. “It represents the three of us making sacrifices as well.” Wade and Bosh decided Tuesday that they would play together in Miami, releasing that information to the world on Wednesday. With that, it was all up to James, who said he decided Thursday morning — hours before his made-for-TV announcement special that night — that he’d join the Heat. James touched down Friday morning, took his physical, and then arrived for the party. Expectations couldn’t be higher, and James, Wade and Bosh all accepted the challenge. “Bring it on. We’ll accept it,” Wade said. “At the end of the day we know what’s important. And what’s important is winning ballgames and winning championships. So once you do that, winner take all.”

Stricker sets 54-hole record THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SILVIS, Ill. — Steve Stricker has broken the PGA Tour’s 54-hole record with a 9under-par 62 Saturday that gave him a sixstroke lead in the John Deere Classic. Stricker, the tournament’s defending champion, was at 25-under 188 heading into Sunday’s final round. The old 54-hole record of 189 is shared by John Cook, Mark Calcavecchia and Tommy Armour III. Stricker can now take aim at Armour’s 72-hole record of 254. Stricker needs a 65 to set the new mark. Paul Goydos, who shot just the fourth 59 in tour history in Thursday’s first round, was tied with Jeff Maggert for second at 194. Maggert shot a 63 on Saturday and Goydos a 67.

Chavanel wins mountain stage THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LES ROUSSES, France — Sylvain Chavanel of France won the seventh stage of the Tour de France to regain the overall lead Saturday, while the major title contenders were content to finish together as the race entered the mountains for the first time. The main title favorites finished 1:47 back, including 2009 winner Alberto Contador, who was 13th, and seven-time champion Lance Armstrong in 16th. Overall, Chavanel was leading two-time Tour runner-up Cadel Evans of Australia by 1:25. Contador was sixth: 2:26 back. Armstrong was 14th, 3:16 behind Chavanel.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — During the first week of January, when Tiger Woods was in therapy and no one knew when he was coming back or how he would play, Jack Nicklaus looked at 2010 as a big year for Woods’ pursuit of major championships. “If Tiger is going to pass my record, this is a big year for him in that regard,” Nicklaus said at the start of the season. It was more much about “where” than who, when or how. Augusta National for the Masters. Pebble Beach for the U.S. Open. St. Andrews for the British Open. Woods has won half of his 14 majors on those courses, just as Nicklaus finished his career having won half of his record 18 majors on the same three. Woods tied for fourth in the first two majors. The Old Course at St. Andrews, however, is where Woods really feels at home. He played his first British Open on these ageless links as a 19-year-old amateur and made the cut. He first won the career Grand Slam at St. Andrews in 2000 with a record score to par (19-under 269) for an eight-shot victory. He returned in 2005 to win by five shots and reaffirm his dominance in the game. Such is his affection for the Old Course that Woods was asked last month which would be the ideal rotation for him to play the four majors. Without hesitation, Woods replied, “I’d probably pick St. Andrews all four.” The only question is what kind of game he brings to the home of golf. In the majors, Woods looks like he is getting close. Having not competed for five months, Woods had a chance to win on the back nine Sunday at the Masters and tied for fourth. Then at the U.S. Open, playing in the second-to-last group on Sunday, he made five bogeys on the opening 10 holes and tied for fourth. But in every other tournament, Woods has looked like any other player. A longtime British journalist came out to watch him at The Players Championship, and after three holes walked back in. “Nothing special here,” the journalist said, which sums up Woods’ game. There was that missed cut at Quail Hollow with the highest 36-hole score of Woods’ career. There was the neck injury that caused him to withdraw from The Players Championship. In the two other PGA Tour events where he played all four rounds, Woods finished a combined 26 shots out of the lead. “Just call it one of those things,” Woods said. “Tried just the same in every one. For some reason, those two have been my best results.” What to expect from him at St. Andrews? “Yeah, it’s probably hard for me to answer,” Phil Mickelson said. “I probably have as good a guess as you do.” The No. 1 world ranking, which has belonged to Woods over the last five years, will be up for grabs at St. Andrews between Woods and Mickelson, as it was at the U.S. Open. Mickelson has never fared well in golf’s oldest championship, his only top10 coming in 2004 when he finished one shot out of a playoff at Royal Troon. He thinks he has it figured out, saying that he put too much spin on the ball in recent years. If he has learned the secret to the links, this might be an opportunity to win more than one major in a year for the first time. Otherwise, figuring out the favorites for this British Open is not that easy. Woods made it predictable the last two times he played because he was on top of his game, driving it well enough to take the bunkers out of play, and putting with the precision required on double greens that could leave putts as long as a football field. “If Tiger plays the way he did in 2000 and 2005, yes,

Tiger Woods holds the trophy after winning the 2005 British Open at St. Andrews, Scotland. he is” the man to beat, said Colin Montgomerie, the runner-up to Woods in 2005. “It depends on how he is to cope with the situation he finds himself in. But at the same time, he’s played two majors now since he came back to play, and he’s finished fourth in both of them. “So it would be a tough guy to bet against him on a course that is entirely suited to his strength, which is putting.” Americans have won five of the last six times at St. Andrews, with John Daly somewhat of a surprise in 1995. They don’t see a golf course like this anywhere in the world. Then again, neither does anyone else. “People who don’t like it, don’t understand it,” Scott Verplank said. “But if you understand it, it’s brilliant.” No one is ready to rule out Woods, who will try to become the first player to capture the British Open three times at St. Andrews. And while he failed to break par in any round at his last event in the AT&T National — the first time that has happened in 11 years — he said he made progress simply by getting another tournament under his belt, and driving the ball better than he had all year. “I can’t wait to get over there,” he said. “I’m looking forward to getting my lines, my feel, my numbers. I love playing the golf course, and we’ll see how the weather is. You never know.” The forecast is for periods of rain throughout the week, meaning this could be a “green” British Open. There have been years, especially at St. Andrews, where it was so dry and brown that the fairways were running faster than the green. The defending champion is Stewart Cink, one of the least celebrated Open champions in recent years not because of how he won, but because of whom he beat. Tom Watson, on the verge of becoming golf’s oldest major champion at age 59, missed an 8-foot par putt on the final hole at Turnberry and then never had a chance in the playoff against Cink. Can he do it again? History is against him. Watson is America’s greatest links champion, having won the claret jug five times, on five courses. Even so, the one Scottish links that Watson failed to win was St. Andrews. He came close in 1984, losing on the final holes to Seve Ballesteros. After that, all eyes turn to Woods and his attempt to restore some normalcy to his game, and perhaps to make more history at St. Andrews. To some players, he is still the favorite. “There’s no doubt,” Padraig Harrington said. “If Tiger hits form at all ... he’s comfortably the favorite to win any of the majors, and St. Andrews sets up very well for him. He’s the No. 1 player at getting the ball to finish closest to where it lands out there, and St. Andrews requires that so much because of the firmness of the greens and how tight the pin positions will be. So I would think St. Andrews sets up well for him, and he’s well capable of winning without hitting his very best form. “Is he about to hit that? I wouldn’t write him off, that’s for sure.”

Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones was back in the starting lineup Saturday against the New York Mets after sitting out the previous night with back spasms. Jones said the spasms were caused by an uncomfortable bed at the team’s hotel, and manager Bobby Cox said the slugger is expected to feel better by Sunday for the Braves’ final game before the All-Star break. Jones was booed during pregame introductions. He entered the day batting .319 with 42 home runs in his career against the Mets.

Francona, Cameron ejected Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona and outfielder Mike Cameron were ejected for arguing with plate umpire Jeff Kellogg in the seventh inning Saturday against Toronto. Cameron was tossed for arguing from the dugout after he struck out looking against Blue Jays right-hander Jason Frasor. Cameron and Francona came out of the dugout to confront Kellogg, with Francona sending Cameron back to the bench before resuming the argument. Francona waved his hand in Kellogg’s face after being ejected. It was Francona’s second ejection this season and the 28th of his managerial career.

Morneau may miss All-Star Minnesota’s Justin Morneau says he won’t be in the All-Star game if he can’t play in the series finale against the Detroit Tigers. Morneau wasn’t in the lineup Saturday, missing a third straight game with a concussion. He left Wednesday’s game after getting accidentally kneed in the head by Toronto’s John McDonald. Morneau slid into McDonald while trying to break up a double play at second base. If Morneau can’t play Tuesday, Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera would likely take his place at first base.

THIS DATE IN BASEBALL: JULY 11 1914 — Babe Ruth made his major league debut for the Boston Red Sox and received credit for a 4-3 victory over Cleveland. He was removed for a pinch hitter in the seventh, and Duffy Lewis’ single led to the winning run. 1944 — Phil Cavaretta set an All-Star

game record by reaching base safely five straight times — triple, single, three walks — to lead the NL to a 7-1 victory over the AL at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh. 1950 — The All-Star game returned to Comiskey Park, the site of the first game, and was won by the NL 4-3 on Red Schoendienst’s 14th-inning home run off Ted Gray. It was the first extra-inning All-Star game, the first time the NL won at an AL park and the first All-Star game shown on network television. 1961 — Despite a record seven errors and pitcher Stu Miller getting blown off the Candlestick Park mound by a gust of wind, the NL edged the AL 5-4 in the first of two All-Star games played that year. 1967 — Tony Perez’s home run off Catfish Hunter in the 15th inning gave the NL a 2-1 win in the longest game in All-Star history. The game was played in California’s Anaheim Stadium. 1973 — Jim Northrup of Detroit knocked in eight runs, batting in the leadoff spot, to lead the Tigers to a 14-2 romp over the Texas Rangers. 1978 — Steve Garvey keyed the NL’s 7-3 All-Star victory at San Diego’s Jack Murphy Stadium with a game-tying, two-run single and a triple that sparked a four-run eighth inning. 1985 — Nolan Ryan of the Houston Astros became the first pitcher in major league history to reach the 4,000-strikeout mark when he fanned New York’s Danny Heep leading off the sixth inning. The Astros beat the Mets 4-3 in 12 innings on Bill Doran’s fifth hit of the game. 1995 — Jeff Conine’s solo shot in the eighth inning gave the NL a 3-2 victory in the All-Star game. Craig Biggio and Mike Piazza also homered for the NL. 2000 — Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees went 3-for-3 with two RBIs and a run scored as the AL defeated the NL 6-3 in the All-Star game. Jeter became the first Yankee to win the All-Star game MVP. 2006 — With the American League down to its final strike, Michael Young hit a two-run triple off Trevor Hoffman for a 3-2 victory that kept the Americans unbeaten in Major League Baseball’s All-Star game for the past decade. The NL took a 2-1 lead into the ninth behind David Wright’s homer and some daring, old-style baserunning. 2008 — Chris Volstad became the sixth pitcher since 1971 to get a victory as a starter and a reliever in his first two big league appearances when he came within one out of a shutout in a 3-1 win over the Dodgers. Volstad was making his first career start, after throwing two innings of scoreless relief at Colorado on July 6. 2009 — Nick Johnson, Josh Willingham and Dunn homered in consecutive at-bats and the Nationals set season highs for hits and runs in a 13-2 win at Houston. Today’s birthdays: John Meloan 26; Yorman Bazardo 26; Blaine Boyer 29; Javier Lopez 33.

Basketball LeBron mural comes down Workers began dismantling the 10-story-tall iconic image of LeBron James on a mural Saturday in downtown Cleveland. The billboard has dominated the city’s skyline for years but is being removed after the superstar announced he was leaving the Cavaliers for the Miami Heat. As strips of the image of James, his arms outstretched and head thrown back after doing his pregame powder toss, began coming off, pedestrians stopped on Ontario Street to take photos and cars pulled to the side for one last look at No. 23, who has gone from being a hometown hero to villain.

— I don’t think taking more classes will be of any use to you; after all, you just got an MBA. Now it’s time to actually manage, and that’s where the rest of J.T.’s advice is spot-on — even if other employees don’t report to you, you can head project teams within the company. Doing so, you get to apply your leadership skills while making it more likely that your current employer will trust you with greater responsibilities. Even if you don’t add staff, when you apply for jobs elsewhere you’ll have leadership experience to discuss in the interview. Remember, while your The Manager title will help you get interviews, it’s the skills (as demonstrated by the examples you relate) that will get you the new job.

could be right on this one. Based on much consulting experience, I can tell you that technical people who end up in leadership positions often are ill-equipped for management. Not only have they not studied it, they cling to their old, technical roles, and become Head Know-It-All instead of becoming a motivator and leader. I’d suggest that your husband swallow hard, get some coaching and perhaps start a new relationship with the CEO. J.T.: If that doesn’t work, your husband should know that VP-level jobs almost always are gotten via referral. Executive positions rarely are listed on job boards, so combing them will not be a good use of his time. Instead, he should devote a bit of time to signing up with

Dear J.T. & Dale: Ten years ago, my husband joined a startup engineering firm. The company grew, and he’s now a VP with a department of 25 employees. He and the CEO have frequently clashed. Things came to a head when they got into a rather heated discussion and the CEO claimed that nobody likes working with my husband and that he’s not a good communicator. Although he still works there, my husband has been job-hunting for the past two months. He’s been applying to job postings, but with no success. Advice? — Robin Dale: Before we get to jobhunting, let’s back up and consider saving his current job. Your husband should be open to the possibility that his boss is right. Yes, the boss

A crossbody bag by Marc Jacobs sports a long strap and is worn across the body.

Crossbody bags

provide fashion, function, free hands LISA A. FLAM

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

She’s clutching her toddler’s hand with phone pressed to her ear or finger-scrolling through e-mail while carrying too many packages. Now, she doesn’t have to worry about carrying her fab, fashionable handbag, too. The crossbody bag, sporting a long strap and worn across the body, is suddenly everywhere. The bags are practical, stylish and with offerings at every price from two digits to four, highly accessible. “The business is definitely on fire right now,” says Brooke Scott, fashion director of handbags and accessories at Bloomingdale’s. “Everybody needs to be hands-free,” she says. “We’re all girls on the go, trying to juggle a lot of different things. This allows you to be a little bit more liberated.” The crossbody or messenger bag has come back into fashion in the past few years amid the growing popularity of the hard-toput-down smartphone. The bags are popular, even outselling traditional handbags last year, according to market research firm The NPD Group. “The idea of not having to carry an oldfashioned ladylike handbag in your hand by the handles is really appealing,” says Linda Wells, editor-in-chief of Allure. “People want more function in their fashion and not just frivolity. They want fashion to perform a basic service.” That service allows a woman to navigate congested sidewalks or enjoy a summer vacation with two hands at the ready, her most important possessions and gadgets close by her side — no more worries about dropping a beautiful bag in a rain puddle or having her purse snatched by a thief. “It came from a place of function,” says Scott, noting today’s obsession with the BlackBerry and iPhone. “What has happened is it’s now expected that your handbag will come with that property.” The style is derived from the bags bike messengers wore and the utilitarian fashions of the late 1970s and early 1980s, explains Ellen Goldstein-Lynch, chairwoman of the See BAGS, D2

Pressure’s on for grooms with two left feet LEANNE ITALIE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Looking silly — or worse — during the first dance as a married couple rates way up there on the scale of wedding stress for grooms who are terrified of anything fancier than the high school prom sway. “It’s not Emily Post’s dance anymore,” said Crista Tharp, a wedding planner in Kokomo, Ind. “Some are doing rap, hiphop, break dancing in little snippets. Most grooms would probably nix the dance, but they’re not given that option.” Motivated by television’s “Dancing with the Stars” and wacky wedding dance YouTube videos, more couples are building fancy footwork into their big-day budgets, turning up the pressure on members of the wedding party with two left feet. For those who can’t dance — but will be singled out by cameras and watching guests — setting a clear goal is a good place to begin, dance instructors suggest. Are you merely looking to survive with a few basic steps, or are you going all-in with dance sequences put together with help from an instructor or a wedding choreographer? Groom-to-be Jerry Karran, 28, a video editor in New York City, decided on regular lessons at a dance studio ahead of his wedding in July with 400 invited guests. He tried watching instructional videos online, but they left him confused. “I’m very nervous,” he said. “I’m not nervous about anything else concerning the wedding but that. I can’t dance, like, at all. Everybody’s looking at you. I don’t want to look stupid messing up, or stepping on her toes or something.” Dance lessons helped calm Jeremy Gorelick, 30, when he got married in April at Johns Hopkins University, where he met his wife. He has always enjoyed dancing in clubs, but slow dancing was “THE worry of the wedding for both of us.” They took lessons together, but he often practiced on his own with a broom. That, Gorelick said, was a misstep because it wasn’t at all like leading his bride on the dance floor. “A broom will do whatever you do, so it was actually an exercise in futility and probably did more damage,” said Gorelick, of New York City and White Sulphur Springs, N.Y.

There’s a proper time and place to wear your swimsuit

Average Josephine’s good friend Inquiring Irene has once again posed a question that Average Josephine decided is worth exploring. How old is too old to be wandering the neighborhood in your bathing suit? In Average Josephine’s neighborhood, it’s not uncommon to see bathing suitclad 7-year-old children running from one friend’s house to another’s to jump through sprinklers, play “slip and slide,” or — if they’re really lucky — actually go swimming. However, what’s happening in Inquiring Irene’s neighborhood is pre-teen girls taking leisurely strolls in nothing but their bikinis and flip flops. This leads Average Josephine to ponder: Where are these girls’ mothers? In the “anything goes” fashion culture of the 21st century, simply taking a walk in your swimsuit may not seem like that big of an offense. It’s hot. You’re

(sort of) covered. However, Average Josephine believes that appropriateness is something that is always required — and doesn’t really cost you anything. There are many issues Average Josephine could touch on here, but this is a fashion column and she will stick to the fashion issues. The first is: Everyone has a right to wear a swimsuit. You do not have to have the perfect body, be a certain age, or worry about not having the perfect body or being a certain age. That being said, bathing suits are to be worn in proximity to a beach or a pool — or in a private space like your backyard. If you are too old to play in the sprinkler, you’re too old to walk down to the neighbor’s house without a coverup. The second issue is that if you are the parent of someone who may not be aware of the first issue, you really need

to tell your child. You don’t need to freak out. You just need to tell your kid “Hey, now that you’re growing up, you need to wear a cover-up when you walk down to Jenny’s house.” Someone was there to tell us the rules when we were kids, now it’s our turn to hand down the advice.

— Columnist Average Josephine is the sophisticated momma of two little girls, an avid shopper and fashionista, a successful businesswoman, and an expert at how to remain a diva while being a loving mother. She has a big issue with the idea that women are considered “plus-sized” when they reach the median women’s size (16). Hence the moniker “Average Josephine.” Average Josephine will answer questions in her column. Send them to: averagejosephine@gmail.com or c/o The Bay City Times, 311 Fifth St., Bay City, MI 48708.

Serena Williams gets a smart makeover

Step into my

Garden Garden By Staff Writer Brenda Wiegand

ROBIN GIVHAN WASHINGTON POST

There is no better tack for repairing an image that has gotten tattered and torn than getting oneself a fashion makeover. It is a reliable source of salvation for any starlet who finds herself in grainy TMZ videos more often than the golden spotlight of “Access Hollywood.” The aggrieved political wife has also embraced the fashion makeover, most often in the pages of Vogue, as a form of payback — comeuppance for the husband who did her wrong. Now, a sports star has revamped her public image with a combination of weight loss, glitz management and body image confessional. Tennis champion and Saginaw native Serena Williams has updated her style. Fans may recall the pummeling her reputation took last summer after her unsportsmanlike outburst at a U.S. Open line judge. As Williams comes off a Wimbledon win — and her 13th grand slam title — she is receiving plaudits in the August Harper’s Bazaar for her leaner physique, which she attributes to Pilates, and a fresh bob. She also was photographed at Wimbledon’s winners gala clutching her trophy and wearing a metallic gold Burberry minidress from the brand’s spring collection. She looked great. She selected the $3,495 dress with the help of Burberry designer Christopher Bailey — the creative whiz who blew the dust off the brand’s signature tartan and the ultimate personal shopper. The frock, with its slightly weathered patina, was a perfect choice for Williams. The shape is essentially a glorified T-shirt and offers just the right nod to athleticism. The dress is covered unevenly in tiny gold sequins, which prevents Williams from looking as though she is wearing a thick layer of glitz. The frock is intentionally imperfect, which gives it character. It looks like a treasure that might have been uncovered in a vintage shop — the best vintage shop ever. It does not glimmer with the selfconscious brio of new money. It speaks of sassiness and confidence. The cut is flattering, too, with its cap sleeves and its tastefully slit neckline. It’s a glamorous and even sexy dress, but it exudes both those characteristics effortlessly. Sure, it’s short. But why hide such enviably toned legs? It also adheres to the only worthwhile fashion rule in these anything-goes times: Show off one attribute per ensemble — legs, cleavage, arms, back — not everything at once. Confidence is restraint. There’s no need to display all the assets; dole them out, bit by bit. In her interview in Harper’s Bazaar, Williams talks about finally coming to terms with her body type. Perhaps this is the explanation for such a fine fashion choice. She was not born with the long, lithe physique of her sister Venus. The older sibling has a body that is much less challenging to dress; it’s no wonder that designers gravitate to that kind of sleek figure when they’re booking runway models. Serena, with all of her curves, envied that ease. She has had to work much harder to suss out which clothes serve her well. The Burberry dress is at least one piece of evidence of a lesson well learned. Indeed, it is Venus who has been stirring the pot lately with controversial fashion choices on the court. At the French Open, she wore flesh-toned underwear with her tennis skirt, creating the illusion that she’d gone out without her knickers. For another match, she wore an ensemble featuring a corset, which had folks in the media comparing her to a Moulin Rouge cancan dancer. Both startling choices elicited catcalls from the stands.

LOCATION: Richland Township GARDENER: Nine years ago, Bonnie Krape was enticed into gardening by friends, sisters and the joy and memory of her mom’s garden. FIRST STEP: With the American flag waving in the wind above them, Krape’s variety of hydrangeas almost appear to be floating with colors of pink, white and purple. Four trellises made by her husband, Harry, are draped with clematis in white, pink and purple. SPOTLIGHT: Krape enjoys the view of her garden from under her largest arbor that is covered with wisteria. Krape says the plant is young yet, so isn’t expected to bloom for a year or two. NEWEST MEMBER: Just enjoying what she has this year is Krape’s motive. She did admit the last plant she added was a “Night Before Christmas” hosta. PLANTS THROUGHOUT: Scattered throughout Krape’s garden you will find spiderwort, Oriental lilies, Lady’s mantle, more than three dozen different varieties of hostas, and in the spring, flowering trillium.

AMANDA LOMAN | THE SAGINAW NEWS

“I like to go out there and just play,” said Bonnie Krape, standing in her garden. Krape estimates she spends 12 hours a week gardening. ENCHANTING FEATURES: Krape says she enjoys garden art and places it wherever the whim draws her to. Bunny statues peek out from under plants, and bird baths draw feathered friends, while geese statues stand among the sweet peas. A purple gazing ball is surrounded by sundrops. FIRST TO GO: Krape admits to still trying to rid her garden of crown vetch. MUST-HAVE TOOL: A small trowel provides the perfect help for Krape with all her gardening needs. GREEN-THUMB TIP: Be careful when buying ground

cover. They are true to their name and cover the ground wherever they grow and can take over. OVER THE BRIDGE: Krape’s hubsand, Harry, built her a dry bridge that is covered with a kiwi plant that blooms with white flowers in the spring and actually produces fruit in the summer. The bridge area leads to the Krape’s pool. NEXT STEP? She is actually in the process of downsizing a bit. Too many gardens can get a bit overwhelming, Krape says, especially when it comes to weeding.

customers to emote and dream. The really faraway places — the places few people get to go to — are the ones that often get the best reaction. People really dream about going to Bali, Fiji or Africa.” Hence the tribal display earlier this summer in Bendel’s Fifth Avenue flagship. The transporting vibe works in other seasons, too, Hilfiger notes. “At the end of the summer, when you start to think about going skiing in Colorado, you can’t wait for that Austrian sweater even if it’s not cold enough,” he says. “It’s all part of the aspirational part of our life, wishing our life was a certain way.” Hilfiger is now off on his break with a suitcase packed with white jeans, navy blazers — but no socks. “I never wear socks in the summer. ... Even in New York, if I don’t wear socks, I’m reminded of vacation.” Hilfiger’s current col-

lection was a tour of the Santa Monica pier rooted in “relaxed glamour.” Other times he’s mined places such as Nantucket, Mass., or St. Bart’s for ideas. He says he finds that when you’re building on a theme, especially a locale, it’s easier to experiment with new colors or silhouettes than in your typical daily grind wardrobe. Lisa Axelson, senior vice president of design for Ann Taylor, says every summer she is drawn to a palette that includes ocean blues and greens. “In July, when it’s hot and sultry in the city, all you can think of is an exotic getaway oasis. Colors that remind you of water give you that brief respite.” In stores now, Ann Taylor shoppers will find a mirage print, used for a scarf and halter dress, and the cotton sheath dress in a hue dubbed “ocean,” that has a small bib of ruffles on the bodice that mimic rolling waves.

GROOMS Don’t let a lack of dancing skills stop you from enjoying the full wedding experience when there’s so much help available and so many ways to prepare

Start taking lessons well in advance of the big day to make your movements more instinctive and less dependent on shaky, shortterm memory, instructors recommend. Beginning at least six months ahead of a wedding is ideal, but six weeks would suffice, so long as at least four lessons are involved. Start with group lessons, many suggest, to get comfortable on a dance floor and boost confidence. Then take private instruction to work on a specific routine or dance. Jackie Horner, who was Gorelick’s instructor, often teaches whole wedding parties how to dance. While

women, too, can be dancechallenged, men are often more nervous because they must also learn how to lead, she said. “I say to them, dancing is just walking to music,” Horner said. “I have them walk around the room for me to just feel the music a little bit, because there are men who do not have any rhythm at all. Usually it’s a little easier than they thought.” Gorelick said beginners should advocate for a short song. He and his wife chose “The Way I Am” by Ingrid Michaelson after their instructor steered them away from a longer tune, “based on the fact that I

seemed so tense. She didn’t want me to be out there for an eternity, which is sort of what it felt like.” James Joseph, who wrote the book “Every Man’s Survival Guide to Ballroom Dancing” (BlueChip, 2010), said taking lessons is fine if couples have the time, money and inclination. For those in dance-floor survival mode, try embellishing the basic side step with a simple change of footwork, a slow rotation or some underarm turns. “If anyone asks, tell them it’s a foxtrot,” he said. Change steps when the music changes, from verse to chorus, for instance, to

avoid getting lost. Making four or five changes, with a dip in the middle and at the end, can look more difficult than it really is. Working with a choreographer, Joseph said, may be more trouble than it’s worth. “If you work with a teacher, there’s a temptation to add choreography that you might not be able to handle,” he said. “Don’t get in over your head.” Practicing in wedding clothes, including shoes, also helps lessen anxiety, said Joseph, a former twoleft-footer who lives in Jackson Hole, Wyo. Videotape a practice session

to see what needs work — and practice, practice, practice. Grooms aren’t the only front-and-center wedding participants who may be jittery about big dances. In 2006, at age 62, bawdy TV personality Jerry Springer brought tears to the set of “Dancing with the Stars” with an on-air kiss for his daughter Katie after a waltz he learned so he could dance at her wedding that December. “I’ve never really danced,” Springer, now 66, said in an interview. “So the night of the wedding, it’s time for the big father-daughter dance. In the middle of it, Katie

looks up at me and says, ‘Dad, nobody can see our feet.’ They were covered by her big gown. My advice to dads unsure if they can dance for their daughter’s wedding is to make sure they have a big gown. Then you can get by doing anything.”

BAGS Keep your hands free with today’s hot bags, which can be both practical and fashionable if you do it right

accessories design department at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology. They have popped up sporadically since then, made mostly by low- to moderate-level companies, she says. Now, though, they are also offered by high-end designers like Ferragamo and Hermes. “It’s the first time it’s been brought back with a lot of style,” Goldstein-Lynch says. A mention of the style may conjure images the crossbody bags by LeSportsac, which introduced them in 1982 and still sells them today. Known for its lightweight nylon bags with whimsical prints, the company’s Kasey — a rectangular crossbody bag with the iconic three zippered pockets — is a top-seller worldwide, says D’Arcy Jensen, the

company’s chief creative director. While its north-south rectangular shape is popular among other designers and manufacturers, the crop of today’s crossbody bags has grown to include satchels, drawstring bags and hobos. They are sized from large down to mini and are crafted in soft, smooth leather along with metallic and patent leather dressy enough for a night out. There’s also casual canvas. Some are fashionably dressed up with studs and hardware, while others are more simple and refined, better able to withstand fads. Wells favors the structured, non-embellished versions in neutrals. “They have a very classic look to them because they’re so low key,” she says. “This is not the bag you’re trying to sell on eBay right away.”

The bags can be worn several ways: Some can be carried by the handles or worn on the shoulder, others make the leap from day to evening, or with the strap detached, some can be used as an organizer for essentials to be dropped into a larger bag. They can also be worn hanging low from the shoulder. “That’s the beauty of the crossbody strap. It gives the wearer a lot of options,” says Bloomingdale’s Scott. “There’s inherent value to buying a bag that takes you multiple places.” Wearing a bag across the body can transcend age, as Jensen points out that her 75-year-old mother in Omaha, Neb., wears the LeSportsac Kasey, as does her 21-year-old niece, a college student in Seattle. “My mom, she feels safe with

the bag across her body. My niece thinks it’s cool looking,” says Jensen, adding that it’s those different kinds of uses that make the style important as a fashion and a lifestyle trend. Sales of women’s crossbody bags rose an estimated 7 percent across the country for the year ending in February, while purchases of traditional handbags rose 1 percent, according to NPD. “Women want to invest in accessories, not just collect handbags these days,” says Marshal Cohen, NPD’s chief industry analyst. Fashion watchers expect the style to have staying power. “Without a doubt they are going to gain popularity,” Allure’s Wells says. “This is just the beginning of the trend.”

Campers can get extra help

break

Germany’s Ruhr region turns from coal to tourism

When planning a getaway, camping isn’t the first vacation option that comes to mind. Sleeping on the ground long ago lost its appeal. And hunting down all the gear somehow seems like too much work; much easier, I usually rationalize, to go somewhere that provides the bedding, clean towels and an in-room bathroom. Yet when I think back to my most memorable vacation experiences, the generic hotel room rarely makes an appearance. Pulling at the heartstrings at the moment is the tent pitched in my front yard, drying out from my son’s recent camping trip with friends. It’s bringing back memories of card games in the tent and lullabies of Lake SupeKIM rior waves. Schneider Time to dig out the kschneider@ blow-up mattress, I’m boothmichigan.com thinking — though I won’t necessarily need even that to get a comfortable camping night’s sleep these days.

TAWAS POINT LIGHTHOUSE, EAST TAWAS, MICHIGAN

awas Point Lighthouse, the second lighthouse on what was then known as Ottawa Point, was built in 1876. It is still active, and retains its original 4th order Fresnel lens. The 67-foot-tall white tower is attached to the one-and-a-half-story keeper’s house by a covered walkway. Both the tower and the keeper’s quarters were completely restored within the past 10 years to their appearance shortly after the turn of the 19th century. The white tower and bright red roof of the keeper’s quarters provide a colorful contrast with the green of the trees and the blue of the sky on a Michigan summer day. Tawas Point is a noted bird-watching site, and provides spectacular sunrises over Lake Huron and sunsets over Tawas Bay. The lighthouse is part of the Tawas Bay State Park, which offers camping facilities as well as swimming and ﬁshing sites. The lighthouse is open seven days a

week from noon to 6 p.m. Memorial Day to Labor Day. For those wishing to stay at the lighthouse, the lighthouse has a volunteer keeper program. For more information, call (989) 362-5658 or visit www. michigan.gov/tawaslighthouse. To visit this lighthouse: Travel northeast from East Tawas on US-23 to Tawas Beach Road. Turn right and travel approximately two miles to the Tawas Point State Park entrance. This lighthouse update is provided as a service to lighthouse lovers by the Great Lakes Lighthouse Keepers Association. GLLKA funds its restoration efforts partially through hosting lighthouse excursions throughout the Great Lakes. For additional information, call (231) 436-5580, or visit the website at www. gllka.com.

Florian Matzner told The Associated Press during a recent visit there, explaining the long term goals for the revival of the Ruhr. Once the motor of Germany’s industrialization and prosperity, the Ruhr became notorious for high unemployment, heavy pollution and hopelessness, when the mines closed and young people started to move away looking for a brighter future elsewhere. However, in recent years, cities and even local grassroot initiatives have started turning abandoned industry buildings into monuments or new homes for museums, theaters See RUHR, D4

A big trend in camping is the camper cabin, said Jeff Crider of the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds. At KOA, Kamping Kabins — or lodges — are proliferating faster than raccoons at picnic leftovers. At the Petoskey KOA, a cozy but basic one-room cabin runs about $50 per night, while the “luxury” versions run $100 night and include dishes and pans, gas fireplace and porch swing (petoskeykoa.com, (231) 347-0005). Cabins and lodges also have been built at the Gaylord and Traverse City KOA campgrounds (koa.com). I love the Michigan state park system’s camping cabins and lodges, which fill quickly, for their variety and spectacular settings. Some parks let you sleep in yurts, or teepees, others in former park manager homes. One of the most impressive is Kaug Wudjoo Lodge in the Porcupine Mountains State Park with its cedar log beds and 16-foot picture window overlooking Lake Superior. Check for last-minute cancellations. (michigan.gov/porkies, (906) 885-5275.) Those on a tighter budget, or purists who still want to “tent it” but don’t yet have their own, might qualify for Michigan’s First Time Camper Program, a steal of a deal at $20 for two nights, at any of 19 locations. The fee includes the loan of equipment basics such as a tent and camp stove and help in setting everything up (michigan.gov/stateparks).

Learn a little Private campgrounds and state parks might offer plenty in the realm of the learning vacation, and I’m not even talking about such skills as lighting a bonfire or mastering euchre. Many Michigan state parks include learning centers with exhibits on topics such as hunting and fishing (Cadillac), Michigan coastal dunes (P.J. Hoffmaster near Muskegon), the lumber era (Hartwick Pines near Grayling), or 1800s life (through interpreters) in a remote outpost (Fort Wilkins in the U.P.). One of the coolest options is the chance to see ancient petroglyphs. An Aug. 7 open house at the Sanilac Petroglyph Historic State Park in Cass City offers one of two chances to see petroglyphs up close, paired with other activities such as spear throwing and flint knapping (989-856-4411).

“We try to recreate this feeling that people had at that time, of dancing on a volcano,” Jacobs said. Since shedding its Cold War divisions with Germany’s reunification in 1990, Berlin has emerged as one of Europe’s leading tourist

destinations, luring nearly 19 million visitors in 2009, many of them attracted to its vibrant nightlife. The “Boheme Sauvage” parties are held roughly once a month in various locations in the city and attract a crowd ranging

in age from 20s to 60s. The core crowd is largely from Berlin, Jacobs said, but roughly 10 percent are tourists. A strict dress code bans all jeans and tennis shoes, but leaves it up to the 400 attendees to interpret the spirit of the times,

RUHR German region changes its identity as it moves away from industrial past toward a more creative future

and office space for creative businesses. Other regions in Europe have undergone similar transformations, like Liverpool in northern Britain, which boomed in the 50s and 60s, mining coal, manufacturing cement and milling flour, but went to seed from the 70s as traditional manufacturing industries declined. It became an unemployment black spot and home to numerous riots and miners’ strikes. Today Liverpool has lavished billions of pounds in regeneration projects, most of its docks and ports have been converted into bars and shops, and it sells itself as a major city of culture based on its associations with The Beatles and its museums. In Spain, the northern city port of Bilbao — the driving motor behind Spain’s most industrialized area — began a $1 billion plus refurbishment in the 1990s to halt the serious decline suffered by the city’s shipyards and steelworks of the previous decade. Its crowning glory was the titanium-sheathed $140 million Guggenheim museum in the city center where warehouses had stood before. The museum draws some 1 million visitors a year and has turned Bilbao into one of Spain’s’ leading tourist destinations, something unimaginable a decade earlier. In France, the Louvre Museum turned for its latest expansion to an abandoned coal mining site in the depressed northern town of Lens that was pummeled by the two world wars.

JENS MEYER | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The stairway of the Ruhr museum is illuminated to look like glowing steel at a former coal mine in Essen. The museum, set to open in 2012, is part of a strategy to spread art beyond the traditional bastions of culture in Paris to new audiences in the provinces. For decades, workers risked their lives in Lens’ coal mines, and then the mines closed — the last one in 1986 — plunging the area into hardship. Lens’ unemployment rate is about 14 percent, well above the national level of 9.5 percent. In the Ruhr region, one of the most famous landmarks is Zeche Zollverein in Essen, a United Nations World Heritage Memorial known for the 180-feet-tall towers that stand outside its disused coal mines. The former coal mine and coking plant now house several museums, contemporary dance and performance

shows and, in 2012, will open a university campus for hundreds of design students. “Zeche Zollverein shows that culture is not only a luxury good for rich people, but also creates new jobs for all levels of societies,” said Fritz Pleitgen, who is in charge of Ruhr 2010, the company that organizes the European Capital of Culture events and oversees a budget of about euro70 million. Almost 7,000 people used to work in the mine until it closed in 1986. They all lost their jobs, but the mine’s transformation into a cultural venture has created almost 4,000 new jobs at Zollverein and attracted creative companies like filmmakers, fashion designers and advertisers on the 250-acre compound, he said.

Another highlight is a wooden, bridge-like structure by the Dutch artists’ group Observatorium, which stands about 200 yards away from the Emscher on a barren field covered with left-over black coal dust, nettles and birch trees. Visitors who fully want to embrace the art can even rent a room on the bridge for $92 a night including dinner and breakfast — according to the organizers the unusual hotel is already sold out for most of the summer. It remains to be seen if the cultural renaissance of post-industrial European regions also brings new opportunities to those who suffered the most from the end of industrialization — blue collar workers.

All aboard for a one-day rail excursion into the heart of the Canadian wilderness.

with suspenders or knickerbockers and a jaunty cap for men. Andrea Kiersch inherited packets of 1920s-era dress patterns from her grandmother that she uses to make modern versions of flapper dresses that sell for between $160 and $360 (130 and 300 euros). Demand is enough for her to make a modest living. Since opening her “Charming Styles” shop eight years ago, she has seen a jump in popularity of Roaring Twenties events. “I think the reason people go to those parties is because we have difficult times right now and one can see parallels to the past,” said Kiersch. “For most of the people, it is a chance to travel back in time, to forget their daily life — and why not?” Kiersch also helps organize period dances that for many embody the escapism that made the 1920s so attractive. “The music attracts me very much because it goes straight from the ear into the legs without going through the mind,” said Joerg Schneider at a recent Friday night dance.

BERLIN — In 21st century Berlin, the Roaring Twenties are in. The era when avantgarde artists and expressionist theater influenced the political tone, women shortened their dresses and bobbed their hair and couples danced to the frenzied moves of the Lindy Hop or Swing is re-created in clubs and ballrooms across the German capital every week. History buffs, tourists and 20-something partiers seeking to swap the city’s well-known house music and techno scene for something more retro-jazzy pack regular dances and event parties. Among the most popular events that pay homage to the Roaring Twenties is a series of parties dubbed “Boheme Sauvage,” which has grown from a private salon held in the apartment living room of organizer Inge Jacobs to an extravaganza attracting hundreds and featuring swing bands, an absinthe bar and a casino where guests play with Reichmarks. “The 1920s were really wild. It was a time of tremendous upheaval, in politics, fashion, art and literature — a real awakening,” said the 30-year-old Jacobs. The period after World War I was marked by extremes in Germany, where the losses from the war led to unemployment, poverty and a rejection of the political establishment. Wracked by uncertainty, many chose to live for the moment.

Detroit Children’s Museum gets new life with new operators DAVID RUNK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT — The Detroit Children’s Museum, which was shuttered last year amid cost-cutting by the city’s school district, has reopened with revamped exhibits, a new preschool area and more of its thousands of artifacts on display. Hands-on components are now incorporated into all exhibits, museum director Julie Johnson said. Newly displayed items include the skull of an extinct mammal Andrewsarchus, masks and Civil War artifacts. The museum previously was run by the cashstrapped Detroit Public Schools, which closed it last August. It’s now being operated by the Detroit Science Center under a 10-year agreement that is expected to save the state’s largest district $11.9 million. The museum reopened June 26. “We didn’t lose this gem,” Johnson said. “It’s been here since 1917. This is a very important part of Detroit.” The district still owns the museum, which has more than 100,000 artifacts. New acquisitions will belong to the Science Center, which has brought in some of its displays, such as a towering model Tyrannosaurus rex. The new preschool area will include a puppet the-

In the main exhibit hall, more than 500 items are on display — about twice as many as a year ago, Johnson said. In one display, a large doll house that sits behind glass is paired with another where children can play with dolls. The museum mostly had been used for field trips, Johnson said. Those will continue, with programs available for schools, daycare groups and community centers, but the Science Center also plans to promote the museum for family CARLOS OSORIO | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS visits.

3768057-05

NEW YORK — You could wait a long time for a teenager who’s traveling to call home or even text. But there’s another way to see what your kid is up to: Follow the money. Before sending teens off on a trip, make sure you have online access to any bank and credit card accounts they’ll be using. You’ll want to monitor their transactions anyway, to see that they’re staying on budget, and to make sure their accounts haven’t been hijacked by thieves. But there’s another reason to monitor how the kids are spending their money: It will give you some clues as to their whereabouts and activities. Last summer, I sent my 16-year-old son and two other teenagers — without an adult — to six countries in Europe. They stayed in hostels, traveled by train, and none of them had cell phones. But by monitoring their ATM and credit card activity online, I could get a sense of their whereabouts. Did they make the overnight train from Barcelona to Paris? A record of a cash withdrawal from the Banque Nationale de Paris at a branch near the Eiffel Tower told me everything I needed to know. When their itinerary called for them to be in Germany, I saw a withdrawal from a Deutsche Bank ATM near the Berlin Zoo. On the day they were to travel by ferry to Denmark, there was a credit card charge in kroner. If I had to do it again, I would make sure, when sending a teenager abroad, that he or she did have a phone. But following the money gave me some peace of mind. There are other things parents can do when sending kids overseas. Book and prepay lodging, trains and planes in advance to cut down on the need for cash and credit. But kids will need some local currency in their pockets when they arrive, as well as a way to get more cash and charge expenses later on. Shop around for the best deals on foreign currency at home. My local savings bank offered the best conversion rate and no fee on the transaction. I sent each teen with cash to cover food and local transportation for three days. After that, they used ATM cards to get local currency wherever they were. Withdrawals should be made every few days instead of daily to cut down on transaction fees. Many parents buy prepaid, preloaded cards from credit card companies and other outlets that limit how much money teens have access to at any one time. Parents can reload the cards electronically from home. That way, teens “only have the money they need for the next day or two at most,” said Mike Bowers, senior director of health and safety for People to People Ambassador youth programs and a member of the Student Youth & Travel Association (SYTA). “And I have the added comfort of knowing where they’re spending it, because I can see online where the expenditures are being made.” Another option: You can get a credit card on your account, with your teen’s name on it. Just remember, you are responsible for all charges. Can you trust your teenager to refrain from a shopping spree? Remember to advise banks and credit card companies well in advance about cards that will be used overseas. If cards are not authorized for use in a given country at a given time, transactions may be blocked. Some countries now require PIN numbers with credit card transactions, and it can take a few weeks for credit card companies to process those PIN requests.

Saginaw Toyota dealer expanding despite recalls

LINDSAY KNAKE

FOR THE BAY CITY TIMES

SAGINAW TWP. — Technical issues that led to widespread recalls of Toyota vehicles earlier in the year aren’t affecting sales at Draper Toyota in Saginaw Township. In fact, the dealership’s business is up 62 percent from last year as it works to complete a renovation that will expand its Toyota showroom by nearly 8,000 square feet — doubling the current space — and create a dedicated service department for the brand. Draper sells both Toyota and Chevrolet from its dealership at 4200 Bay Road. The renovation project is designed to give Toyota a

more distinct identity, separate the Chevrolet brand and to handle the sales capacity of the Japanese brand, said Darrell Hovarter, Draper sales manager. “We expect the building itself is expected to increase business,” Hovarter said. At Draper, Toyota sales have been up consistently for the past five years. “It’s the quality of product, competitive price and the majority of product is made in the U.S.,” Draper owner Robert Draper said. The brand continues to attract consumers, despite a series of recalls, the most recent affecting Toyota’s luxury line, Lexus. Earlier in the year, Toyota recalls affected 8.5 million vehicles worldwide and cost the auto

down 14 percent. Overall U.S. auto sales fell 4.7 percent in June. Draper, however, has increased its stock of Toyota automobiles by more than 20 percent and once the showroom expansion is complete, the inventory will be 50 percent larger. Hovarter said the construction is scheduled to be complete in mid-August. The Quick Lube oil change will remain open for any vehicle brand. Robert Draper said the AMANDA LOMAN | FOR THE BAY CITY TIMES dealership renovation should also help Chevrolet, Tyson Valentine, 20, an apprentice electrician with PowerComm Electric, works on what will be the new showroom of Draper Toyota which increased sales about 28 percent over last year. in Saginaw Township.

The dealership employs 103 people, Draper said, and he hopes to add 10 more. Tim Nash, an associate professor of Economics and Business at Northwood University, said customer loyalty, used car sales and vehicle service contribute to Draper’s success. “There are fewer choices of dealerships for customers, so good ones like Draper are going to do well because of that,” he said. “It’s a wellrun organization.

The bilingual sales reps at Verizon Wireless receive premium pay, about 5 percent more than the average retail sales rep’s salary of about $40,000 a year in hourly and commission pay, she said. Maricela Oliver, who along with Felix Escamilla are Spanish-speaking employees at the Verizon Wireless Miller Road store in Flint Township, said she may help a Spanish-speaking customer three to four times a month. People of Hispanic or Latino origin represented 2.5 percent of Genesee County’s population in 2008 and an estimated 3.1 percent in Flint, according to the Census. Oliver, who is Hispanic and is fluent in Spanish, said she’s helped Spanishspeaking customers buy prepaid phones and has helped answer questions about their bills. “They do like that they can understand what I’m telling them,” said Oliver, 43, of Grand Blanc Township, a retail sales rep at the store. Oliver said she’s glad to have bilingual skills on the job. “At least I can help some people,” she said.

J&J sales plunge as recalls widen LINDA A. JOHNSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TRENTON, N.J. — Sales of Johnson & Johnson pain relievers are collapsing as a string of recalls appears to have made consumers wary of once-sterling brands such as Tylenol and Benadryl. An eighth recall, announced Thursday, could worsen consumer reaction. That wariness and the huge amount of products pulled off store shelves together look to be costing J&J tens of millions of dollars a month. Thursday’s recall by Johnson & Johnson’s McNeil consumer health care unit covers 21 lots of products, including Children’s Tylenol. Those were recalled because of a musty or moldy smell, extending a large Jan. 15 recall tied to a nauseating chemical on shipping pallets. The company said the new lots were added to the recall as a precaution after an internal review found those lots, shipped and stored before Jan. 15, had been on the same type of wooden pallets. An April 30 recall of more than 130 million bottles of children’s and infants’ liquid medicines involved products J&J said “may not meet required quality standards,” may contain tiny metal particles or may have too much active ingredient. The string of recalls is an embarrassment for a company that set the standard on how to do it correctly when it rushed to pull bottles of Tylenol — deliberately poisoned by someone who was never caught — off store shelves in the early 1980s. This time, the culprit appears to be a lack of internal quality control. That’s harder to forgive, particularly given that the public has little tolerance for mistakes or carelessness involving products for children, said analyst Steve Brozak of WBB Securities. “This is pain by a thousand cuts,” Brozak said of the repeated recalls. Erik Gordon, a professor and analyst at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, said J&J has been too conservative about replacing those responsible. “Heads should have rolled” and longtime CEO Bill Weldon should be tak-

Data from market research firm SymphonyIRI Group show sales of New Brunswick, N.J.based J&J’s pain reliever pills fell 56 percent in the four weeks ending June 13, compared to a year earlier. Its figures show that U.S. sales of pain-relieving tablets, gelcaps and other types of pills, including multiple strengths of Tylenol and Motrin, plunged to $20.9 million in that fourweek period, putting the company behind rivals Bayer Consumer Health and Wyeth Labs. Sales of private-label, or store brands, benefited the most from Johnson & Johnson’s fall, jumping 23 percent to $51.9 million. Meanwhile, sales in the smaller category of liquid pain relievers, such as Children’s Tylenol, fell 96 percent, to just $630,000. Those figures do not include sales at Walmart, gas station stores and club stores. Together, that amounts to tens of millions of dollars in revenue lost in just

one month — and a big hit to the reputation of the maker of iconic products such as Johnson & Johnson’s baby shampoo and Band-Aids. Gordon said sales of any product with Johnson & Johnson on it will be hurt. CathyJo Andrews threw out 10 bottles of children’s medicines earlier this summer after a prior recall. “It scared me,” she said. “It’s my kids.” Since then the mother of two, who lives in the Chicago suburb of Oak Lawn, has received coupons from Johnson & Johnson to reimburse her, but doesn’t plan to use them soon. Andrews said when her 6-year-old developed a fever and had an allergic reaction, she opted instead to take a trip to the pediatrician. “I’d much rather pay for a doctor’s visit and a prescription from the pharmacy than have to freak out and worry about it,” the 28-year-old said. A Johnson & Johnson spokeswoman said the company had no comment beyond its announcement of the latest recall. Food and Drug Administration spokeswoman Elaine Gansz Bobo said the agency continues to work with McNeil on all the product recalls. “We do not see any

serious health risk to the public from this additional recall,” she said. Gansz Bobo said she did not know of any other company that had eight medicine recalls in less than a year. “It certainly is quite a few, and something that we hope is not repeated by other companies,” she told The Associated Press. The repeated recalls are particularly surprising at a company where executives regularly repeat the 67-year-old corporate credo, which begins: “We believe our first responsibility is to the doctors, nurses and patients, to mothers and fathers and all others who use our products and services.” Gordon noted that besides the announced recalls, congressional investigators say J&J paid another company to quietly buy up packages of Motrin with potency problems in 2008. “I think it’s unfathomable that a longtime J&J guy could do something so un-J&J-like,” he said of Weldon. Gordon said he sees parallels to the repeated recalls by Toyota, another company “renowned for quality having quality problems. You have to wonder if global cost pressures have changed the game even for the best of the best.”

How You Can Lose When Funds Pass the Baton By Reshma Kapadia

Four Questions for Your Fund

John C. Thompson remembers taking long afternoon drives with his father around his hometown of Madison, Wis., discussing the ups and downs of the stock market. WSJ SUNDAY So it SMARTMONEY seemed perfectly PREVIEW natural when his father, John W. Thompson, hired him at the Thompson Plumb Growth mutual fund. But John W.’s effort to hand the reins to John C. ultimately backfired. Today, after steep losses and hurt feelings, the two barely talk. Passing the baton, says the elder Thompson, turned into “a family nightmare.” As mutual-fund investors grapple with volatile markets and ho-hum returns, here’s something else they might need to worry about: Is the manager about to call it quits or share power with someone else? When a fund’s management changes, it can be an unsettling time for shareholders. And if the fund is a family-run business, fund experts say, the hazards of a transition can multiply. More mutual-fund shareholders may soon find themselves dealing with management turnover. Historically, a fund-manager exodus has often come a few years after a tough spell in the market. According to fund-research firm Morningstar, after the dot-com bust, fund-manager turnover jumped from 24% in 2003 to 39% three years later. In the wake of a crisis, fund managers on the fence about retirement “look to get out when things return to some level of normalcy,” says Adam Bold, founder of the Mutual Fund Store, an in-

ness: “It made me sick, actually.” As the younger co-manager started calling more of the shots— sometimes trading stocks and telling his father afterward—tension increased. John C. favored concentrated bets on a few stocks; his father had relied on a more diversified approach. But in 2007 and 2008, the son’s investments in financial giants like AIG and Fannie Mae backfired—and the fund’s performance fell to the bottom tenth of its category. The elder Thompson, now 66, felt caught between wanting to intervene and wanting his son to be right. But before long, the tumbling market, the financial crisis and investor withdrawals sent the fund’s assets to about a tenth of their 2004 peak of $1.5 billion. Ultimately, the elder Thompson stepped in, instituting rules that curbed his son’s strategy. Thompson Plumb Growth’s performance significantly improved, but the fund hasn’t received much in the way of new assets from investors. John C. left the firm in early 2009, and is starting his own money-management firm. He says he’s upset his father didn’t ask him to return to

Still, if he could do it over, he wouldn't do anything differently: “I got a lot of good experience.” The elder Thompson says he’s cheering his son on. “What parent doesn’t want their child to succeed?” he asks. Retooling the Relationship Growing up in Texas, Clark and Craig Hodges did what brothers everywhere do: They fought. As adults, working with their father, Don, at his Dallas investment firm, they found new things to squabble over. “I wanted to establish myself, and every step of the way I was running into the fact that my brother had already done what I was trying to do,” says Clark of the challenges of entering the family business. He eventually joined a brokerage firm on the other side of town—where he found he was more interested in the business side than in investing. That helped him return two years later to the family fund; he’s now head of marketing, while Craig sticks to stock picking with his father. “We have learned to stay out of

Working for a Happy Ending When Paradigm Capital founder Candace Weir hears that the CEO of a company has chosen his or her child for a corner-suite job, she has second thoughts about investing there. So when her daughter, Amelia, expressed interest in joining Paradigm, which manages money for institutional clients and mutual-fund investors, the pair had long talks about what could go wrong. Amelia eventually signed on as research director and co-manager of Paradigm’s hedge fund. Stock picking brings its share of disagreements. When Candace wanted to sell fertilizer firm Terra Industries after its stock began falling, Amelia, 35, held her ground. Candace, meanwhile, held on to retailer Build-A-Bear Workshop because she liked its management, even though Amelia wasn’t crazy about the idea. Both stocks are up. “One of us eventually defers to the one who has the expertise,” says Amelia.

LOVE & MONEY | By Jeff D. Opdyke

Returning to One Job—and Leaving Another

Let’s get right to the point: After ending the Love & Money column nearly two years ago, I’m now returning. Starting today, I will be doing what I did for more than six years—focusing on the personal in personal finance, detailing the inner workings of my family’s financial life. I’ll be writing biweekly, sharing this space with Yoder & Sons. But if this is a homecoming of sorts, it also comes at a moment when I’ve left the home I’ve known for 17 years: The Wall Street Journal. After working for the paper in Dallas, Seattle, New York and, since 2004, from my home in Baton Rouge, La., I resigned on June 1. Leaving was incredibly hard. I’ve likened it to filing for divorce when the only real reason for doing so is that you and your spouse have simply grown apart. The love remains strong, but you can see you’re moving in different directions. Better to call it quits now, while there remain opportunities to pursue, than stick around until those opportunities evaporate or I’m too old to pursue them. And so it is that at 44 years old, with my wife, Amy, and two children to support, and in the middle of the worst economy in generations, I willingly gave up the job I had always loved and thought I’d always have. Rest assured, I left for another job (I’m not that crazy). But I hope my decision offers some guidance— and even inspiration—for those who have long dreamed of changing careers, but figure they never can. i i i People, of course, are constantly dreaming about leaving one job for another. It’s what keeps many people

Is there a succession plan? Fund-industry recruiter Larry Lieberman says a surprising number of funds don’t have an explicit plan. And investors often have to pose the direct question to the firm.

Is there a strong co-manager in the wings? Some larger fund families have a record of tapping internal talent to replace managers who leave. At smaller, family-run firms, however, the bench is seldom deep.

How old is the boss? While many fund managers work successfully into their 70s and 80s, it’s fair to ask questions about their role once they reach their 60s. “You have to start asking if they are just a figurehead and not as involved in the stock picking,” says David Morgan, a planner at investment advisory firm JMG Financial.

each other’s way,” says Craig. Don isn’t inclined to secondguess his children. “You only learn by doing,” says the 75-yearold, whose firm manages $750 million in assets. He and Craig share similar investing philosophies, but they specialize in stocks in different industries. The flagship Hodges fund has placed in the top 15% of its category over the past year. For his part, Clark is fine with leaving big calls to his older brother. “Prince Charles has two sons, and guess what,” he says. “The youngest is just out of luck.”

sane in their current jobs. But in reality, they don’t have any intention of leaving. Job security almost always trumps the idea of future opportunity. For years, I was in the same position. On the one hand, I knew I was unlikely to lose my job, absent a major downsizing. And I made pretty good money doing something I loved. Would another job be as much fun, as secure or as comfortable? On the other hand, I couldn’t see myself ever making much more money than I was making, unless I was willing to move to the paper’s headquarters in New York and try to start moving up the editing ranks. There was only one thing I could do at the paper while living in Louisiana— and I was doing it. So over the past year, Amy and I discussed returning to New Jersey, where we previously lived. But such a move, we knew, would come with big tradeoffs. For one thing, the likely raise wouldn’t begin to cover the increased cost of living on the East Coast, at least until—and if—I received my next promotion. Amy could find another job in hospital administration, but it probably wouldn’t be as flexible as the one she now has.

Moreover, the change of scenery would dramatically alter my family’s lifestyle. As it is, the flexibility in our current jobs has allowed Amy and me to split duties such as ferrying the kids to school and various activities. I’m home when the kids return from school. I cook for the family most nights. Rejoining the commuter class in New York would make all that impossible for me. And besides, even if I did work in the New York office, the truth was that there was only so much more money I was ever going to make. The upside potential in the newspaper business is limited— never more so than these days. i i i I don’t want to sound greedy: Amy and I consider ourselves very fortunate, and we certainly could live nicely on our salaries in Baton Rouge. But like so many people, whatever their income class, we were starting to feel the pressure to do better for our family. Our 7-year-old daughter has a speech disability that will require us to send her to a different private school this fall. In addition, Amy is cutting her work hours to spend more time helping her, and would ultimately like to reduce them even more for as long as our daughter needs the extra at-

tention. On top of that, our 13-year-old son will begin attending a private high school about a year from now. While he could go to public school, frankly we believe that public education in Louisiana leaves much to be desired. All told, our tuition costs will more than triple in the next year just as Amy’s salary shrinks. Finding a job that helps us cover the approaching gap grew increasingly important in recent months. So after discussing the pros and cons of moving to New Jersey, Amy and I concluded that the best path for our family was to stay put and have me look for a different opportunity. I knew generally what I wanted, I put out a ton of feelers, and I found one great opportunity. (I’ll cover that search in the next column.) I now write about overseas investing for a financial newsletter, allowing me to satisfy two of my greatest passions: writing about finance and traveling. And for the first time in my career, I have the possibility of making more money because of a potentially lucrative bonus structure. I also have more freedom to pursue books and other freelance writing, which increases my earnings potential immensely. Best of all, I get to maintain my work-from-home lifestyle that benefits my family. Leaving The Wall Street Journal wasn’t easy, causing much doubt and angst. But in the debate between security and opportunity, the choice in the end seemed clear: I had to chase opportunity in order to find a better life for my family.

Darts Top Readers With US Airways Takeoff

New Picks Include Dolby, SandRidge Here are the new stock picks and the June 30 starting prices for Sunday Journal’s 40th Investment Dartboard Contest, running through Dec. 31. Arena Pharmaceuticals ($3.07) This biopharmaceutical company has a promising drug that targets obesity and has the potential for a large reward, says Hydrick Harden, an accountant for a large regional bank who reads Sunday Journal on wsj.com. Dolby Laboratories ($62.69) Tammie Murphy says she trusts the quality of this electronics maker. “Everybody knows who Dolby is,” says the assistant bank manager who reads the Tampa Tribune. Donaldson ($42.65) This filtration-system manufacturer has grown over the years and pays a steady dividend, says Grace Skibicki, a retired occupational health nurse in Stevens Point, Wis., who reads the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Medical Properties Trust ($9.44) Contra Costa Times reader Marion Soderlund of

Brentwood, Calif., says she and her husband have faith in this real-estate investment trust and hope to buy shares soon. ReneSola ($5.97) Jack Newman of Lake Worth, Fla., says he thinks this solar technology company could see gains as interest in solar energy increases. Mr. Newman reads the Sun Sentinel. SandRidge Energy ($5.83) The recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico could increase interest in alternative energy sources and give this natural-gas company a boost, says Jack Brady, an information-technology specialist in Colonie, N.Y., who reads the Albany Times Union. And the Darts… The darts hit software developer Blue Coat Systems ($20.43); oil company Canadian Natural Resources ($33.23); multimedia company Lin TV ($5.41); privateequity firm Prospect Capital ($9.65); oil and natural-gas trust San Juan Basin Royalty Trust ($24.41); and television broadcasting company Sinclair Broadcast Group ($5.83).

BARRON’S INSIGHT | By Jay Palmer

Among the Young and Chic, Aéropostale Is Where to Shop When hip is hot, it helps the hipster, which in this case is the budget-friendly clothingstore chain Aéropostale. Its stores, once indistinguishable from the likes of others in the mall, have become a muststop for fashion-conscious teens and preteens. Investors, however, haven’t fully caught on to this fashion trend. Sure, Aéropostale (ARO) has easily outpaced the broad index. Yet at about $28 a share, the stock has only just returned to near last autumn’s level, and now trades at projected price/earnings multiples of 11 for 2010 and 10 for 2011. Rising Earnings In the first fiscal quarter of 2010, a 14% sales gain plus a three-point jump in margins pushed earnings up 55%, to 48 cents a share. For the full year, Wall Street expects earnings per share of about $2.80. For 2011, estimates range from $3.05 to $3.75 a share. Same-store sales rose 8%, a good performance considering what co-CEO Tom Johnson says was “a very high level of promotional activity [discount-

ing] in the malls.” In this tough economic environment, Aéropostale has beaten generally higher-priced rivals American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) and Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) for 10 consecutive quarters in same-store sales growth—yet they trade at higher projected P/Es. No Debt, Plenty of Cash Aéropostale has rock-solid financials, with no debt and a balance sheet flush with $313 million in cash. Analysts and money managers following the stock have 12-month price targets of $35 to $50. Under the guidance of its two CEOs, Mr. Johnson and former Victoria’s Secret executive Mindy Meads, Aéropostale has refocused on edgy fashion and invested in technologies that allow it to track sales almost as they’re being booked. This allows the company to adjust inventory not only in response to changes in demand, but also for variations in size and color by store and region. The flexible, unit-driven model has helped Aéropostale boost market share to 11% in 2009

ASK DOW JONES | By Tom Herman

With stock prices down this year, could we see a one-year suspension of required minimum distributions for 2010? W.W., Croton on Hudson, N.Y.

Probably not. This is a timely question in light of the stock market’s slump and renewed concern about the economy’s health. Nervousness about the economy mounted early this month after the U.S. Labor Department released an unexpectedly weak report on the nation’s job picture for June. Even so, I haven’t heard of any significant movement in Washington to suspend the rules requiring minimum distributions from retirement savings accounts for this year. These rules are of keen interest to many savers who are age 70 1/2 or older. The rules generally require them to withdraw a cer-

tain minimum amount of money each year from their individual retirement accounts, 401(k) plans and other retirement accounts. These required minimum distributions, or RMDs, typically are subject to tax. Late in 2008, with the economy and financial markets in deep distress, then-President Bush signed legislation waiving RMDs from retirement plans. But that suspension applied only to 2009. Separately, another reader asked me whether there is a possibility that the government might suspend the required minimum distribution rules for 2011. The answer: It’s too soon to know. I haven’t heard any influential lawmakers talking about that subject. But it might come up if the economy goes into another tailspin in coming months, dragging stock prices down further. At the moment, little or noth-

We asked Sunday Journal regular contributor Gregory Zuckerman to take a stab at the contest. Here are his picks: Barrick Gold ($45.41) A leading gold miner. Miners are generally better values than other gold plays like exchangetraded funds. Boardwalk Pipeline Partners ($30.08) A hefty dividend makes this natural-gas delivery company one of my wife’s favorite stocks. Fidelity National Financial ($12.99) This title-insurance provider is a play on low mortgage rates. The catch: Fewer homeowners have equity or credit to allow for a quick refinancing. Johnson & Johnson ($59.06) A new pick by star hedge-fund manager David Tepper. Pharmaceuticals are a stable industry these days.

from 8% in 2005. The most exciting aspect to Aéropostale is its push into the preteen space via its new P.S. from Aéropostale stand-alone stores. As of last May, the company had 22 P.S. stores. It plans another 22 to 30 openings this year, with the rate of openings likely to accelerate in 2011 and 2012. “The demographics supporting growth in preteen [markets] are very good,” says Christine Chen, who follows Aéropostale for Needham & Co. “The grandkids of older boomers and the kids of younger boomers together create a huge market. Aéropostale is playing this very well indeed.” For more stories, see barrons.com. ing is happening on taxes in Washington as lawmakers are fixated on the November elections. Congress still hasn’t even extended a package of popular tax breaks that expired at the end of last year. Among them was a provision that generally allowed many taxpayers who were age 70 1/2 or older to transfer as much as $100,000 a year directly from an IRA to a qualified charitable organization without having any of that transfer count as taxable income. The transfer counted toward the taxpayer’s required minimum distribution for the year. This package of “extenders” still is expected to win approval. But it’s unclear when Congress will act.

In an effort to contain costs, many insurers are holding the line on reimbursements to hospitals and other care providers, and paring down the number of providers in their networks. And many insureds are getting caught in the crossfire— with more disputed and unpaid claims, and confusion over which providers are and aren’t covered at lower in-network rates. “Disputes between providers and insurers are escalating. It’s a tug of war over money,” says Dean Hatfield, senior vice president at Sibson Consulting, a human-resources consultant. In New York, for example, thousands of patients have been affected by a deal that collapsed in June between insurer Aetna and Continuum Health Partners, a nonprofit hospital system, over reimbursement rates, though discussions are continuing, the insurer says. Such conflicts are occurring as hospitals shift costs from public programs like Medicare and Medicaid onto private insurers, says Susan Millerick, an Aetna spokeswoman. But medical providers say their costs are rising, too.

states, for resolving disputes over billing, service denials and other issues. Those are typically listed on the back of explanation-of-benefits statements. There’s usually a customer-service phone number as well. Aetna and the Financial Planning Association also offer a free guide, “Navigating Your Health Benefits for Dummies,” available at planforyourhealth.com. Get Your Employer Involved If all else fails, employees should enlist the help of their employer, experts say. “If you see systematic problems with claims, it’s time to escalate it to your human-resources representative and following through to make sure the health plan corrects it, not just for these claims but going forward,” says Michael Thompson, a human-resources consultant and principal at PricewaterhouseCoopers. You should be armed with notes, explanation-of-benefits and billing statements as well as a record of any appeals and denials. If providers have been dropped from the network, provide names, addresses and phone numbers, as well as any evidence that led you to believe that the providers were in network at the time you received the service. Also, check the billing codes for any procedure or service against those listed on the explanation of benefits. Coding errors by doctors and hospitals often result in claims denials or lower reimbursements. Federal privacy rules may prevent employers from getting too deeply involved in individual cases. But in instances where insurers have dropped hospitals and provider networks, sometimes employers have been able to craft solutions that allow employees to continue with their chosen doctors and hospitals.

Typical Mistakes Sometimes the disputes manifest themselves as unpaid claims, or claims paid at the lower out-of-network level when the patient believed the provider was in network. Or, an insurer drops doctors and hospitals from its network, leaving patients without access to their chosen physician. Sometimes, the doctor or hospital may accept an insurance plan, but not as an in-network provider. “The typical mistake is where the anesthesiologist is out of network but all of the hospital is in-network,” says Mr. Hatfield. “But you would never know to ask whether the anesthesiologist or lab is in network.” Insurers have appeals procedures, which are regulated by

GETTING GOING | By Dave Kansas

Why the Doomsayers Are Wrong As the mercury rises, most of us would prefer to hear the word “dip” only in relation to pools, lakes or beaches. Unfortunately, the doom-mongers have hijacked this word and incorporated it into their latest dark scenario: a double-dip recession. There’s no question that chatter about a double-dip has intensified. The dippers cite several points in their favor: a still anemic housing market; a sluggish jobs picture; Europe’s sovereigndebt problems and big austerity drive; China’s slowing growth; and massive overcapacity in the U.S. economy. Despite all that, there’s still plenty of evidence that the double-dippers don’t have all the cards. In the past week, jobless claims dropped, retailers said June wasn’t as bad as feared and the Dow Jones Industrial Average managed to rebound decisively back above 10000. Even battered BP’s stock appears to have found a bottom. In a double-dip recession, the economy falls back into negative territory not long after emerging from recession. While it’s not official yet, most economists believe the U.S. recession ended in the summer of 2009. Growth in gross domestic product turned positive in the third quarter last year and has remained so ever since. Later this month, second-quarter growth estimates should show that the string of positive quarters is continuing. And yet, the double-dippers seem everywhere. A search of Google News turned up nearly 6,000 stories about a double-dip recession in the first week of July. That compares with 120 such stories for all of July 2009. So, why will the double-dippers be wrong? Here are five reasons:

Excessive pessimism When the pace of activity slows, it feels worse than it is. It’s like driving in the city after hours racing down the highway. This entire recovery has been underestimated from the word go.

June jobs report disappointed, adding kerosene to the doubledip fire. But looking closer, Deutsche Bank recently argued that “fundamentally we have the ingredients necessary for a rebound in hiring.” Among them: a “boom” in temporary work, “record cash hoards” and a stronger-than-expected profit cycle. Moreover, the Household Survey, a government report used to calculate the unemployment rate but not the monthly jobs figure, has already started to show strong job growth.

Greg Clarke

its stock price “had nowhere to go but up.” Stuart Johns wasn’t as lucky with his pick of General Maritime, an operator of crude-oil tankers that fell 14%. Despite the loss, Mr. Johns says he’s optimistic about the company’s future. “I still tend to think that it’s got potential,” says the reader of the Commercial Appeal in Memphis. As a group, the six readers’ picks fell by 1%, outperforming the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which was down 6% for the period. The six stocks chosen by darts thrown randomly at stock pages were up 13%. The darts have won more often than readers, with 24 dart wins out of 38 contests.

Darren Gygi

Most reader picks were down in Sunday Journal’s 38th Investment Dartboard contest, along with the stock market as a whole. The darts fared better, beating the reader picks thanks largely to a 78% gain by US Airways Group. The reader to post the biggest gain between Dec. 31, 2009, and June 30—and therefore win the contest—was Orange County Register reader John Bushman. His pick, Citigroup, rose 14% during the six-month period. Mr. Bushman says he bought shares in the banking giant when prices began to fall a few years ago and felt the bank has “been beat up so much,” that

Claims Disputes Grow

According to Merrill Lynch economists, the consensus expectation for the annual rate of GDP growth during the first three quarters of the recovery was 2.5%. It came in at 3.4%. Similarly, corporate profits have far exceeded expectations. It’s fair to say that the national mood is churlish. That plays out in the political arena, but it also plays out in how people perceive the economy and their own fortunes. So, confidence data are reading far more darkly than the fundamentals would seem to merit.

The Fed on hold Investors have been incorrectly trying to anticipate when the Federal Reserve will start raising interest rates for months now. At the start of 2010, The Wall Street Journal’s survey of economists showed that most anticipated the Fed would start boosting rates in September. That’s almost unthinkable today. Indeed, J.P. Morgan Chase recently changed its forecast to push the first rate move to the end of 2011, from April 2011. That means excessively low interest rates will remain a positive force for both the economy and the stock market for an extended period.

Jobs set to improve This is the big X factor for the outlook, and job-data optimists are difficult to find. The

Consumer not so weak No question that everyone’s been more thrifty, but the period of retrenchment has eased as savings accounts have been rebuilt. In May, retail sales fell 1.2%. But that means retail sales are still growing at a 5.8% annual rate so far in 2010, which isn’t shabby. Despite the downturn in May, most economists anticipate that consumer spending will continue to rebound, especially if the jobs picture starts to improve.

Stimulus still to come It seems a long time ago that the stimulus bill passed (well, it was way back in early 2009), but the government has been slow to spend the dosh. The government still has a little less than half of the bill yet to burn through, or roughly $380 billion. And regardless how you feel about stimulus spending from an efficacy or political perspective, the money still has an impact. Ian Shepherdson at research firm High Frequency Economics points out that the remaining stimulus spending is the equivalent of 2.6% of GDP. He forecasts that the U.S. economy will maintain a 3% growth rate this year, mainly due to this spending. Overall, we’re more likely to see modestly slower growth than we’ve recently experienced. But the only double-dips in sight involve ice-cream cones, nachos or a return to the pool. Dave Kansas is European markets editor for The Journal in London. Email: dave.kansas@wsj.com

Kevin Dykema, chairman of the Tall Ship Celebration Board of Directors, said seeing a ship for the first time is special, but he also encourages visitors to check out ships they may have seen before, like the HMS Bounty, which visited Bay City in 2003. “The Bounty … is totally refit. It was a little rough when it was here last time, but it really looks nice now,” Dykema said. The Pride of Baltimore II is making its fourth visit. “The Pride of Baltimore … is always a crowd favorite,” Dykema said. Other ships taking part are Europa, Madeline, See SHIPS, PAGE 4

BAY CITY — Bay City officials are rolling out the red carpet for this year’s Tall Ship Celebration. The goal: Convince visitors and voters that nobody does it better when it comes to hosting a fleet of seafaring vessels. If all goes according to plan, Bay City will be named Port of the Year for a third time and will secure a spot as a port city when the tall ships return to the Great Lakes in 2013. It’s important for Bay City to lock in its bid this year by winning Port of the Year honors because the 2013 theme is the War of 1812 — a topic that Event Coordinator Shirley Roberts says Bay City lacks in history. “We have a lot of history,” she said, “but not anything we can connect to the War of 1812. Maybe we’ll learn something — our fingers are crossed.” Patti Lock, director of the Great Lakes United Tall Ships Challenge — a race across the Great Lakes sponsored by the American Sail Training Association — says Bay City always contends for the title. “Bay City is always a good

The panel in charge of choosing port cities in 2013 will look at historic demand, as well as port support, said Lock. This will be Lock’s first time visiting Bay City’s festival. Bay City is the only official port city in Michigan. Other port stops are in Toronto, Cleveland, Duluth, Minn., Green Bay, Wis., and Chicago. Twelve tall ships are scheduled to sail north from Cleveland on Monday and arrive in Bay City on Thursday. Of the 12, six will be making their first trip to Bay City — Pathfinder, Playfair, Roseway, Lynx, Roald Amundsen

Tickets — which range in price from $28 to $85 — are still available for many of the sails into the Saginaw River and Saginaw Bay, including the popular dinner sails aboard the Appledores. Dinner sails are catered by Fusion 1 Cafe, 813 Saginaw St. in downtown Bay City, and will feature a tropical-themed menu of pineapple chicken, vegetables and rice followed by coffee and dessert. Tickets for any of the sails must be purchased in advance. Tickets are available by calling BaySail at (989) 895-5193 or visiting its website at www.baysailbaycity.org.

BAY CITY — In the world of tall ships, many crew members begin as greenhorns and learn through experience as they work to achieve “old salt” status. Sail training — especially programs for young sailors — is the focus of many tall ships, including several that will dock in Bay City this week as part of the 2010 Tall Ship Celebration. “Our program is pretty special because the crew and officers are all teenagers,” said Julian Schroer, captain of the sail training vessel Pathfinder, a 72-foot brigantine from Toronto. “It’s teens teaching teens. They come on with little or no experience sailing and they’re away from family and in a scenario that is unfamiliar. “They learn a lot about what they’re capable of. And

brigantine. Both ships are two-masted, square-rigged sailing vessels with fore-and-aft rigged sails on the mainmast. Each vessel carries a complement of 28

people, including a captain, first mate, three watch officers, a bosun, a cook, three petty officers and 18 trainees. The complement is made up of 12- to 18-year-olds, save for the captain. “They come from all different kinds of backgrounds,” said Laurie M. DiVincenzo, program coordinator. “We make sure our programs are available to all youths.” For those who have the desire but lack the funds, Toronto Brigantine works with children’s aid societies to obtain the fees. From July to September, the brigantines visit Great Lakes ports, giving the trainees opportunities to learn basic sail handling, seamanship, teamwork and leadership. Trainees spend eight to 13 days at sea. BaySail, the Bay City nonprofit organization that owns and operates the Appledore

IV and Appledore V tall ships, runs a similar training program called Windward Bound. “It’s an overnight voyaging program for teens focused on seamanship and sail training, but also offering some curriculum-aligned, science-based programs as well,” said Roger Nugent, executive director of BaySail. BaySail’s 2010 season includes 10 voyages ranging from four to nine days. “Essentially, every participant becomes part of the crew,” Nugent said. “They would be responsible for steering, setting sail, trimming sail, preparing meals. If the ship is anchoring, they would take care of that procedure.” For information on Toronto Brigantine and its sail training programs, visit the website www.torontobrigantine.org.

BAY CITY — Among the towering ships sailing into the Saginaw Bay for this year’s Tall Ship Celebration is the Roald Amundsen, a German brig named after a famed Norwegian explorer. The 164-foot-long ship features 18 sails and was built in 1952 as a deep sea fish lugger. She was equipped to service the military fleet of the former East Germany and became obsolete with the collapse of the Berlin Wall. In 1992, the vessel was remodeled in Wolgast, Germany, for its present use as a sail training vessel. The Amundsen’s home port is Eckernförde, Germany, and it spends most of the summer sailing in the Baltic and North seas. With the onset of winter, the Amundsen cruises south to the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands. It sails with a regular crew of 16 plus 32 trainees. All are volunteers, including the captain, said Claudia Bankert, international representative for the Roald Amundsen. “There are 12 captains sharing the responsibility of manning the ship all year round,” Bankert said. The captain who will be bringing the Roald Amundsen from Cleveland to Bay City is Ulrich Diekmann, while Patrick Vermandel will be in com-

mand of taking the brig from Bay City to Duluth, Minn. The ship is run by the LLaS e.V., a nonprofit organization comprised of about 1,000 members. The ship’s namesake, born in 1872, gained international attention as the leader of the first expedition to Antarctica. He was also the first person to reach both the North and South poles and to travel the Northwest Passage connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Amundsen disappeared in 1928 while participating in a rescue mission near the North Pole. The airplane he was flying in was located near Norway’s Tromsø Coast, though his body was never found. The Roald Amundsen has a sparred length of 165 feet, a rig height of 105 feet and a sail area of 9,150 square feet.

Bay City set to be good host Appledore IV and Appledore V. The ships, of course, are the main attraction. But the events Bay City coordinates to support the ships put Bay City’s celebration above the rest, Roberts said. “The tall ships themselves are magnetic,” said Roberts. “People are drawn to them because they are so beautiful and awe inspiring. But what makes our event stand apart from other events is we have so much more to offer by way of entertainment, crafts and music. “It’s an event that can keep a family entertained all weekend.” This year’s highlights include the Ring of Steel Action Theatre and Pirate School — a performing troupe from the University of Michigan that will perform daily shows featuring battles with expert swordplay and special effects. Other must-see attractions include a sail-raising station, knot-tying station, lighthouse craft area, Art in the Park tent, small craft symposium, Storyteller’s Corner, Maritime Music Festival and a tall ship craft area for children. New to this year’s celebration is a Green Village that will be located in Veterans Memorial Park south of Vets Bridge along the Saginaw River. Roberts says it will provide great information about alternative and renewable energy projects. The village will offer hands-on activities with new alternative energy products from companies like Dow Chemical Co. and Consumers Energy. To make this year’s celebration the best of the four that Bay City has hosted since 2001, Roberts said her crew of volunteers will focus on hospitality. Roberts suggested taking advantage of meeting the crews of the ships to make the most of your festivalgoing experience. “We’re working as hard as we have always worked plus some,” she said. “The most important part is people will feel welcomed and crews will be very hospitable.”

Sailing is emotional for Appledore captain MICHAEL WAYLAND

A: She’s so sweet. She’s a friendly little girl. She sails well in heavy air … We took out a senior citizen group from down state, (the wind) was blowing a steady 20 (knots) — gusting 25 or 28 — and we just had a ball out there. They loved every minute of it. So she’s a sweet boat to sail.

BAY CITY — For Guy Perks, captain of BaySail’s Appledore schooners, sailing began as a crush, but has turned into a lifelong love. Perks, 63, has captained the Bay City nonprofit organization’s schooners for eight years, and he has no plans of slowing down. Perks, who says he has “been sailing since Moby Dick was a minnow,” talked with The Times about sailing and Bay City’s Tall Ship Celebration. Q: How did you start sailing? A: I got into it because I had a powerboat — a ski boat — and this girl I was dating at the time said, ‘Isn’t (sailing) romantic?’ And so, I naturally went out and bought a sailboat.” Q: What is your fondest memory of sailing? A: We’ve had a couple of youths that have come

Q: What’s the hardest thing about sailing the Appledores? A: The constant vigilance to safety and maintenance, keeping the boat in top condition and dedicating all the time that’s needed to do all the things above and beyond going out on the water.”

Science Under Sail, aboard the Appledore IV and Appledore V, is a hands-on science program for elementary through high school students. BaySail started the program with the purchase of the 85-foot schooner Appledore IV in May 1998, but demand grew so much, the 65-foot schooner Appledore V was purchased in October 2002. “We’ve done pretty well in the last couple of years with schools getting their budget cuts,” said Carrie Temple, program director for BaySail. “We’ve kind of kept our numbers up similar to what they were before. “So, people must really value the program.” BaySail also offers private tours, chartered sails and other shipboard education programs.

Back on the case Poirot journeys to the dark side in new ‘Orient Express’

JOHN CROOK Zap2it

David Suchet stars in “Poirot X: Murder on the Orient Express,” airing Sunday on PBS’ “Masterpiece Mystery!”

Much like his most famous TV character, David Suchet knows what you’re thinking. Actually, though, you don’t have to be Hercule Poirot to know that many viewers may be wondering why anyone would remake Agatha Christie’s most famous mystery, “Murder on the Orient Express,” when virtually everyone who tunes in will do so already knowing whodunit and why. After all, in 1974, the story was turned into a glossy, Oscar-winning blockbuster starring Albert Finney as Poirot. (An updated CBS movie version with Alfred Molina as Poirot followed in 2001.) All of which may explain why Suchet takes pains to point out that this newest TV adaptation — which has its world premiere at 9 p.m. Sunday, July 11, on PBS’ “Masterpiece Mystery!” — is more than a mere do-over. Although the basic outlines of the case itself, in which an American businessman is violently murdered during the titular train trip, remain the same, “(This version) is a completely different See POIROT, PAGE 2

POIROT

A classic is remade take on the film that was made before,” Suchet says. “The other film, which is very famous and beautifully shot and acted, is mainly concerned with the journey on the Orient Express with the fastidious Poirot solving a case, and everyone goes home very happy. “But there are suggestions in the book that Poirot has his own journey to go on, a journey of immense depth and crises, because ... he believes that one of the reasons his ‘bon Dieu’ — his good God — has made him such a wonderful detective is to rid the world of crime — and now here he is faced with the dilemma of what to do. What does it cost Poirot with his morals and idealism and sense of right and wrong to let every single person go free and every single person is, in fact, a murderer?” What makes this new version so gripping, and its final scene so utterly shattering, is how Suchet takes us so deeply into the very soul of this character he has been playing now for more than two decades. The external eccentricities are still there, but this performance feels stripped away to the core essentials of Hercule Poirot to help us understand the searing pain in which he is left at the end. Suchet, who carries an associate producer credit on the “Poirot” series now, got a chance to immerse himself even more deeply in this particular story when he was hired to host the recent travel documentary “David Suchet on the Orient Express.” “I was afforded the very great luxury of being asked to do that program, and I did it as much for my own research as I did for the program,” Suchet says. “I actually slept in Poirot’s compartment in that program, and I got to know the train very well, and I ... was reading the book while I was on the train.”

‘Bachelor’ breakup gets ugly DERRIK J. LANG

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — She said he wasn’t intimate. He said she wasn’t faithful. She called him a fame whore. He called her jealous. For weeks, the nasty break-up of “The Bachelor” couple Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi has been fought in the tabloids. In their latest round of sparring, the pair were back in front of the reality TV cameras where it all began. “Unfortunately, that’s what one of our arguments looks like,” Pavelka said after a weeping Girardi stomped away from their pre-taped reunion at the end of a recent episode of “The Bachelorette” starring Ali Fedotowsky, the former Facebook advertising account manager who chose her job over Pavelka during his “Bachelor” season. “It’s kind of embarrassing.” “The Bachelor” host Chris Harrison moderated the pool-side debate between the couple, who called off their engagement last month. The 32year-old pilot from Dallas and the 23year-old Geneva, Fla., resident quarreled over such issues as where they should place furniture in their home and why she gave an interview to a tabloid about their split. Normally, when the couples who meet on “The Bachelor” or “The Bachelorette” end their made-on-TV relationships — just three out of 19 are still together — their publicists release a statement announcing an amicable parting before they quietly fade back into obscurity. Pavelka and Girardi, however, quickly launched into public mudslinging after ending their romance. Girardi lashed out first by appearing on the cover of Star magazine alongside the headline “Jake’s a MONSTER!” Pavelka then struck back on the front of People magazine above the headline “I DON’T TRUST HER.” Girardi later dodged infidelity allegations on Twitter, while Pavelka unloaded about his relationship regrets in an interview with “Extra” host Mario Lopez. “Nobody likes airing out their grief in public,” said D. Ivan Young, author of relationship guide “Break Up, Don’t Break Down.” “When you find people putting behavior like that out there, they are people who are more concerned about the integrity of their brand rather than the content of their character. Those relationships are superficial at best.” The tumultuous separation and subsequent speculation — Is Jake getting back together with Ali? Is

In this April 21 ﬁle photo, television personalities Jake Pavelka, right, and Vienna Girardi — who were still together at the time — arrive at the premiere of “The Backup Plan” in Los Angeles. Since then, Pavelka and Girardi have had a very public split. Vienna going to pose for Playboy? Is Jake gay? — has remained a hot topic in the tabloids and online. Irad Eyal, reality TV producer and author of celebrity relationship guide “Sex Degrees of Separation,” said the duo’s messy end is atypical Hollywood behavior. “They really went off the rails,” said Eyal. “I think it became this game of who could bad mouth each other worse and then see who could come out cleaner. Obviously, it’s a better way to keep your name in the press. If you just fade out quietly like all the other couples from ’The Bachelor’ and ’The Bachelorette’ did in the past, you’re left with nothing.” When it comes to discussing their dissolved romances in the press, most celebrities keep their traps shut — except when they promise to “remain good friends” with their exes. Silence isn’t necessarily always golden though, according to image consultant LisaMarie Luccioni, who specializes in managing the public impressions of companies and individuals. “Silence communicates,” said Luccioni. “It can be decoded in a positive way. For example, with the Sandra Bullock situation, we didn’t really hear a lot from her, and people decided that it meant she’s taking the high road, but contrast that with Tiger Woods, who stayed quiet as that story kept building, and it was seen as if he was hiding something else.”
