Big Powderhorn’s main building total loss in Thursday fire By MARGARET LEVRA DAVID SIM, RALPH ANSAMI and JON HAWLEY news@yourdailyglobe.com
BESSEMER — Fire destroyed most of the main lodge at Big Powderhorn Mountain Ski Resort on Thursday morning. No one was injured in the fire, which started in the east side of the main lodge, according to Gogebic County Sheriff Pete Matonich. Matonich said he was the first law enforcement officer at the scene and the building was fully engulfed when he arrived. The wood-framed structure on the east side burned quickly, he said.

Amber Hendricks, from Bessemer, watched the blaze with her husband and son near the chalets. “This is really devastating,” she said. “This building has been here for years, and we really can’t believe this has happened.” Noren noted only the expansive main building was damaged. He said Powderhorn would operate out of the Caribou Lodge, and all questions should be directed there. Employees evacuated the building within minutes.

New pastor welcomed into area churches By MARGARET LEVRA mlevra@yourdailyglobe.com
HURLEY — The Rev. Frank Kordek assumed duties as parochial administrator at St. Mary’s of the Seven Dolors Catholic Church in Hurley and St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Saxon, Wis., on Jan. 6. One week into his assignment at St. Mary’s and St. Ann’s, Kordek said, “It is wonderful, warm and welcoming. People have been very kind, volunteering to help. “I found it very warm and touching, very welcoming.� Kordek came to Hurley from Indianapolis, where he served as Rev. Frank pastor at the Sacred Heart of Kordek Jesus Catholic Parish for about seven years. It was snowing when Kordek arrived in Hurley the evening of Jan. 6, and although he said the city
of Indianapolis would “shut down� when 4 to 5 inches of snow fell at one time, Kordek is no stranger to snow. He lived in northern Michigan, just below the Mackinac Bridge, from 1972-76, and then again from 1989 to 2003. Kordek said he initially traveled to Hurley on Dec. 27 to drop off some books. He said he stayed in Ashland that night, and then returned to Chicago, where he spent time with his father. Kordek attended classes at the University of Chicago just prior to his appointment in Indianapolis. While at the university, he took 17 graduate credits in five months, with classes geared toward scriptures and theology. Kordek described the parishioners as people of strong faith. “They have real power to their prayers. It is very special,� he said. Asked about his expectations, Kordek said, “I am not coming with an agenda. I am here to pray with people of this congregation and journey together with them, with the Lord drawing us to His kingdom.�

Woman dies in accident GRAND VIEW, Wis. — A 20year-old Hudson woman was killed in a 7:52 a.m. Wednesday car-semi accident on U.S. 63 in the village of Grand View, according to Bayfield County Sheriff Paul Susienka. A passenger in the car, Anna Shoemaker, 20, of Hudson, was airlifted from the scene by Life Link helicopter to St. Mary’s Hospital in Duluth, Minn., where she died from head injuries on Thursday afternoon, according to the Bayfield County Sheriff’s Department.

Schuette plans to continue Asian carp legal fight LANSING (AP) — Michigan’s new attorney general said Thursday he will continue the state’s court fight to close off waterways into the Great Lakes to keep out invasive Asian carp. Michigan is one of five states that have sued the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to force the closing of two shipping locks and several gates in waterways near Chicago that could provide a path for the Asian carp to reach Lake Michigan. Barge operators and businesses that rely on cargo shipping in the Chicago area have opposed the closures. The U.S. Supreme Court and U.S. District Judge Robert Dow denied requests last year to close the locks immediately, but the
lawsuit is going forward. Republican Bill Schuette said he will continue a lawsuit started by former Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox, who was also a Republican. “The Asian carp poses a clear and present danger to the ecosystem of the Great Lakes,� said Schuette, who took over as attorney general on Jan. 1. Asian carp have been migrating north in the Mississippi River and its tributaries for decades after escaping from Southern fish farms and sewage lagoons. The carp are voracious eaters of plankton — tiny plants and animals at the base of the aquatic food chain. Biologists say if the carp make it to the Great Lakes,
they could starve out competitors and threaten the $7 billion sport and commercial fishing industry. Federal officials contend an electric barrier about 25 miles south of Lake Michigan has adequately thwarted the carp’s advance. But researchers say they have detected Asian carp DNA in water samples taken from Chicago-area rivers and canals past the barrier.

The Foster vehicle sustained moderate damage, while the Meide vehicle sustained minor damage. ——— Two vehicles received minor damage in a Wednesday accident on Luxmore Street, at the Cloverland Drive intersection.

BESSEMER — Today is the deadline for applications to serve on the city of Bessemer’s parks and recreation commission. As of midday Thursday, there were four eligible applicants to the five-member commission, who city officials declined to
name prior to their possible appointment. The commission was established by the city council on Dec. 20. The commission, according to the ordinance that established it, “shall serve as an advisory board to the city council regarding the recreational needs of the community,” with responsibilities including developing new recreation programs
and areas, recommending recreational policies, reviewing maintenance of recreation facilities and informing the public of recreational opportunities. The ordinance also requires that a city council representative serve on the board. On Dec. 20, the council chose council member Marlene Zaleski for the position. It cannot take any legally binding
action on the city’s behalf. To establish staggered terms, initial appointments will be for one-, two-, and three-year terms, with three years to be the term length for subsequent appointments, other than to fill vacancies. Applications should be submitted at the Bessemer City Hall no later than 4:30 p.m.

People line the street as a hearse arrives at the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church for the funeral of 9-yearold Christina Green Thursday in Tucson, Ariz. Green was the youngest victim of Saturday’s shooting in Tucson.
Thousands gather for Tucson girl’s funeral TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — The casket for Christina Taylor Green seemed too small to hold the grief and despair of the 2,000 mourners who packed into St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church on Thursday to say goodbye to the 9-year-old girl whose life began and ended with two of the nation’s most soul-searching moments. Reminders of the innocence of the bubbly girl born on Sept. 11, 2001, were everywhere: A group of little girls dressed in frilly dresses and white tights craned to see as their friend’s casket rolled into the church and Christina’s best friend sneaked them a wave from her place in the processional line. Outside the church, more little girls — and hundreds of other people — wearing white and waving American flags lined both sides of the street for more than a quarter-mile to show their support. Hundreds of motorcycle riders from all over stood guard and more than a dozen residents were dressed as angels. Before the service, Christina’s family and closest friends gathered under the enormous American flag recovered from Ground Zero and paused for a moment of silence, holding hands and crying. White-gloved state troopers escorted family and dignitaries into the church as a choir sang hymns. “She would want to say to us today, ’Enjoy life,”’ said Bishop Gerald Kicanas, who presided over the funeral. “She would want to say to us today, ’God has loved me so much. He has put his hand on me and prepared a place for me.”’ “Her time to be born was Sept. 11, 2001,” he said. “Her time to die was the tragic day, Jan. 8, 2011, just nine years old she was. But she has found her dwelling place in God’s mansion. She went home.” As Christina’s family grieved, new developments emerged in the case when a man walking his dog found a black bag containing ammunition that
authorities believe was discarded by the suspected gunman, 22-year-old Jared Loughner. The third-grader was one of six people shot Saturday when a gunman opened fire at a meet-andgreet event for Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot through the head but survived. Thirteen others were injured. Michelle Obama urged parents in a statement to talk to their children about the shooting to help them work through the questions they may have — even those who didn’t know Christina. “The questions my daughters have asked are the same ones that many of your children will have — and they don’t lend themselves to easy answers,” she said in a statement. “But they will provide an opportunity for us as parents to teach some valuable lessons — about the character of our country, about the values we hold dear, and about finding hope at a time when it seems far away.” At the church, the focus was on the little girl who was an avid swimmer and dancer, a budding politician and the only girl on her Little League team. Mounds of flowers — pink roses and wreaths — surrounded the closed casket and a large photo of Christina and her older brother, 11-year-old Dallas, stood at the entrance to the church. Her father, John Green, recalled in an emotional eulogy how his daughter used to pick blueberries, loved snorkeling and played for hours with her cousins and brother behind the house, directing the activities. He recalled how once, upon returning from a two-week trip, he found his daughter and his wife dancing in the hallway, full of life and happiness. “Christina Taylor Green, I can’t tell you how much we all miss you,” her father said, according to the Arizona Daily Star. “I think you have affected the whole country.”
Johnson, Sensenbrenner among lawmakers threatened MADISON, Wis. (AP) — One of Wisconsin’s U.S. senators, a congressman and two Milwaukee-area legislators said Thursday they’re among the state officials targeted in an apparent online threat. U.S Sen. Ron Johnson, a Republican from Oshkosh, and U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, a Menomonie Falls Republican, were both mentioned in the threat, their offices said Thursday. State Sens. Leah Vukmir and Alberta Darling each said they were targeted as well. Johnson and Sensenbrenner’s offices and Vukmir declined to comment on the nature of the threat, but Darling said it was posted on Craigslist. A number of law enforcement agencies are investigating, including the FBI and the Capitol Police in Madison. Spokespeople for both agencies declined comment.
Johnson’s office issued a statement saying he was confident investigators would do their jobs. Sensenbrenner’s chief-of-staff, Tom Schreibel, said Sensenbrenner has been following security guidelines U.S. Capitol Police issued for all members of Congress after U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was nearly assassinated in Arizona on Saturday. He declined to elaborate on the guidelines, but he said police posted officers at town hall meetings Sensenbrenner conducted over the weekend after Giffords was shot. Vukmir, a Wauwatosa Republican, said she will do some things differently because of the threat. She declined to elaborate, saying she would continue to focus on doing “the people’s work.” Darling, a River Hills Republican, said Capitol Police told her Wednesday afternoon they had
Brewster’s Northwoods Bar & Grill
discovered a threat against her on Craigslist. They didn’t give her any further details, she said. Darling said she’d never been threatened before. She told her local police chief, who promised to send officers by her house on a regular basis, but she said she didn’t plan to alter her normal routine or demand extra security in Madison. “I’ve always been aware of who’s around me,” she said. The threat came to light Wednesday after Senate Chief Clerk Robert Marchant sent a memo to state senators alerting them that a threat had been made against “various Wisconsin officials,” including two state senators. Marchant did not name them but warned each senator to be vigilant. He also suggested Senate staffers monitor Internet postings for their names or the names of their senators.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Minnesota officials said Thursday they were losing patience because Wisconsin still had not paid the $58.7 million it owes from an old tax-reciprocity agreement. Under the agreement, taxpayers who lived in one state but worked in the other were allowed to file a single income-tax return. The agreement called for the states to reimburse each other, but Wisconsin always ended up owing Minnesota because more Wisconsin residents used the arrangement. Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton has asked his state’s Department of Revenue to draft a letter demanding that Wisconsin pay up, Revenue Department spokeswoman Kit Borgman said Thursday. “We understand they have cash-flow problems because so do we,” Borgman said. “We do value the relationship we’ve had in the past. We just want them to honor the agreement.” Richard Chandler, the secretary of Wisconsin’s Department of Revenue, blamed the delay on a breakdown in communication between previous administrations. He also said he was less concerned with how much was owed and by when and more with reviving an agreement that would spare taxpayers the hassle of filing separate returns. “We’re talking about an agreement terminated under two different administrations than the two in power now,” he said.
In tribute JoAnn May DeMario EVANSVILLE, Ind. — JoAnn May DeMario, 73, former resident of Ironwood, passed away on Sunday Jan. 2, 2011, at Select Specialty Hospital in Evansville. She was born Sept. 19, 1937, in Ironwood, the daughter of the late Clyde and Virginia Smith Jaresky. She attended Ironwood schools and married Donald James DeMario on Nov. 1, 1958.

“From our point of view, it would be better to talk about it than to take unilateral action. The main goal is to figure out a way to make this work for taxpayers.” Chandler added that Wisconsin has always paid its balances plus appropriate interest and reiterated that conversations about a new payment plan should include discussions about restoring the agreement. Cullen Werwie, a spokesman for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, said the governor and Chandler were reviewing options for paying back the debt. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty dropped the 41-yearold tax agreement in 2009 when the two states couldn’t agree on a schedule for speeding up Wisconsin’s payments to Minnesota. Wisconsin officials have offered to pay the outstanding balance on July 1, but they haven’t put that in writing, Borgman said. Without a written offer, Dayton asked Minnesota revenue officials to draft a demand for payment, she said. The letter was still being written Thursday and could be sent as early as this week, she said. While the letter will include a request for payment, it likely won’t include any legal threats, Borgman said. A message left with Dayton’s office inquiring whether legal action was being considered was not immediately returned.

In Their Opinion End-of life counseling important despite politics Death panels. End-of-life counseling. Last-stage planning. It all sounds so ominous. It’s no wonder politicians have made the issue political. The debate over this type of counseling came up in the health care reform debate and now the White House said it will drop references to it in Medicare’s annual checkup ground rules. It’s a shame. Politics shouldn’t stifle the difficult but important dialogue between seniors, their doctors and their families. Discussions about medical care in a person’s final weeks should happen more often, not less often. Political fighting is only scaring people away. End-of-life planning helps families know what type of care their loved ones want when they’re unable to speak for themselves. It makes elderly patients feel empowered and puts their families’ minds at ease. No matter what’s happening in the ever-changing political arena, seniors and their family members must have a plan in place. It lessens the worry during an incredibly emotional time. There are many places to go for this type of counseling. The conversation doesn’t have to originate with a physician. Seniors can turn to an attorney, a financial advisor or their pastor. Seniors simply need to start the conversation with their spouse or children before they learn they’re gravely ill. For help learning about advance directives, durable power of attorney and living wills, you can turn to the Family Caregiver Alliance at caregiver.org or the AARP’s Caregiving Resource Center at aarp.org. Forget about death panels because they’re a fallacy. But end-of-life planning is real, and it can make a real difference. —The Post-Crescent, Appleton, Wis., Jan. 7

Past behavior led to violent eruption Like most Americans, I'm still trying to understand the shootings in Tucson Saturday, in which a man killed six people while trying to assassinate U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. He almost succeeded in killing Giffords, who remains in critical condition. The alleged shooter, Jared Loughner, appears to have been politically motivated, though his writings and behaviors suggest nonsensical paranoia more than coherent ideology. Obsessed with mind control and other conspiracy theories, Loughner most likely targeted Giffords in some war against a totalitarian bogeyman. It’s likely only Loughner himself, now in federal custody, understands his motives. In the wake of such a terrible and bizarre crime, it is tempting to jump to conclusions, to fixate on one factor out of many that spurred his violence. It’s tempting to write him off as just some lone “nutjob.” It’s also tempting to blame our caustic political environment, rife with gunthemed metaphors and imagery, and partisan media that vilify good people for honest disagreements. Even more tempting is to blame his schools, his friends or his parents for not getting him mental help. Most tempting of all, however, may be the desire to blame our porous gun control laws for allowing a semiautomatic pistol to fall into the hands of such a disturbed individual. We owe it to Loughner’s victims to not pick one answer we like and dismiss the others. All these explanations have some truth to
Jon Hawley
them. We cannot hope to prevent similar violence if we see these factors in isolation. Any one piece of the Loughner puzzle, without the clarity of hindsight, would not have been enough to prevent this. Loughner’s criminal history was minor until now. His behavior in school, particularly at an area community college, was disturbing more than overtly violent, and the college tried and failed to get him to take a mental health evaluation. He frequented hate speech and anti-government websites, which was not in itself predictive of violence. It’s also unclear if any prominent politicians or pundits influenced his thinking, though some partisan commentators are already insinuating otherwise. Given that Loughner gave no strong signals of violent intent, I doubt there are any practical legislative responses to this crime. Federal gun laws already require stores to refuse gun sales to those deemed mentally
unfit by a court of law. He bought the gun legally, with a background check. It is also unlikely our divided Congress, which is bipartisan in its reluctance to take on the National Rifle Association, will pass laws restricting large magazine handguns like the one he used. There is also a danger of overreacting to a tragedy, callous though that may sound. As best I can tell, preventing Loughner’s attack would have required disqualifying him from owning a gun for minor crimes or unusual behavior, or stronger legal mechanisms for compelling mental health evaluations — evaluations which, for all we know now, might not have discovered obvious dangers. Overreaching, unworkable legislation can trade one danger for another, as people forfeit rights for an illusory sense of safety. And yet, since we do not know everything about this crime, we might still find some actionable truth. However, we can find such insight only if we actively search for it. We must be willing to have an extensive and honest debate about our gun laws, our mental health system, our political discourse and our need for vigilance within our communities. I remain hopeful that this sick man’s personal demons can mobilize our society’s better angels. Jon Hawley is a reporter at the Daily Globe. Contact him at jhawley@yourdailyglobe.com.

Conan OK with Letterman, Calendar / 8 Days not so much with Leno JAN. 14-21
BURBANK, Calif. (AP) — Conan O’Brien says he got a phone call from David Letterman over the holidays. The CBS host wanted to make sure a year of late-night TV turmoil hadn’t created a rift between them. O’Brien told reporters Wednesday that he and Letterman have “always been good. I said he didn’t owe me a phone call, but I appreciated it.� O’Brien wouldn’t be so recep-

tive to a call from Jay Leno, who preceded and replaced him as “Tonight� show host. He says the reason is no mystery, noting, “We all know the story.� O’Brien said the experience of losing the “Tonight� show left him and his staff feeling like a band of pirates that stuck together through hard times. It’s a dynamic he believes makes the show stronger. O’Brien’s new TBS show, called “Conan,� began in November. He said the past year’s upheaval has left him more willing to take chances onstage. “I’m very appreciative,� he said. “There’s nothing like walking away from the ’Tonight’ show that makes you appreciative of being on the air and having a TV show. I think that feeling is coming through.� O’Brien’s show and “Lopez Tonight,� which follows it on TBS’ lineup, both have an audience with an average age of 33,
the youngest among the latenight talk shows. “I like performing for children,� he said. “I have a 7-yearold and a 5-year-old. That’s a workout. Making them laugh brings me a lot of joy.� He said his comedy has an inherent silliness that a younger audience may appreciate. Reaching a young audience is usually a strength in television, but NBC was concerned that O’Brien wasn’t expanding his audience beyond that. He acknowledged some sadness at no longer being a part of NBC, and being disconnected with some people he spent a lot of time with. The Monday after his last “Tonight� show, he called his assistant so they could meet to discuss some business. She wondered: “Where?� So they met in a store that sells pies. “There’s a whole body of work that I feel a little detached from,� he said.

Grains offer flavor, nutrition, beauty in garden
By DEAN FOSDICK For The Associated Press
Now that you’ve established a productive vegetable garden, how about growing some pancakes, pasta and home-baked breads on the side? Plant whole grains — cheap, low-maintenance grasses that produce edible seeds you can cook up raw (as you would rice), grind into flour, make into brews, or add fresh to salads and casseroles. Grains demonstrate that you don’t need blooms to beautify small spaces. Think amber waves of grain, or patches of waist-high ornamental grass swaying gracefully in the wind. Add thrift to the equation, too, because a little goes a long way. “A 1,000-square-foot plot planted with 23⁄4 pounds of barley seed will yield one bushel of barley,” says Sara Pitzer, author of the updated “Homegrown Whole Grains: Grow, Harvest & Cook Wheat Barley, Oats, Rice, Corn & More” (Storey Publishing, 2009). “If one bushel doesn’t sound like much, consider that one cup of raw barley cooks up to generously serve six people, and that most soup recipes — even ones making big pots of soup — call for only one-third cup of raw barley.” Grains also serve as nutritious recipe fillers, replacing pricier ingredients in a meat loaf or stew. “Put aside what you can’t eat for planting the next year,” Pitzer advises. Whole grains usually recommended for home gardens include barley, buckwheat, corn, millet, oats, rice, rye, wheat and amaranth. Decide which grains or cereals you want to grow based on flavor, ease of harvest, hardiness and appearance. Here’s a Pitzer-provided primer to help get you started: — Barley: Matures faster and tolerates drought better than wheat. A fiber-rich plant known to reduce cholesterol and blood glucose levels. Frequently used for brewing. — Buckwheat: Broadleaf plant with a strong flavor that often is milled into flour for pancakes. — Corn: One of the easiest crops to grow. It can be eaten fresh, ground into cornmeal or popped into tender, bite-size
Wisconsin retirees’ checks to to decrease MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Many retired state workers will see slightly smaller pension checks starting in May. The state board that runs their investment funds reported strong 2010 gains, but the main fund still carries over 2008 losses. The pensions are administered by the Department of Employee Trust Funds. Spokesman Matt Stohr says it represents 565,000 state employees, including 157,000 retirees. All retirees are part of the core fund, which saw a preliminary return of 12.3 percent. Stohr said Thursday those retirees are projected to see a decrease of 1 percent to 1.5 percent in their core annuities. He says about 35,000 of those retirees also invested in the slightly riskier variable fund, which had a preliminary gain of 15.6 percent. Stohr says those retirees are projected to see increases of 7 percent to 11 percent.

puffs. — Millet: Tasty when served like rice or added to foods for its crunch. Loaded with protein, B vitamins and minerals. — Oats: Germinates quickly but difficult to harvest unless you go with hull-less varieties. Recommended for everything from biscuits to oatmeal. — Rice: Challenging to grow, but has limitless applications in recipes. — Rye: An assertive taste in flour and food. Extremely hardy. Has no hull, making it easy to harvest. Crafters find many uses for its long stems, or straw. — Wheat: Easily managed in gardens, and a recipe essential for everything from pastas to cakes. — Amaranth: A tall, broadleaf plant that forms feathery plumes. The leaves can be cooked and eaten like spinach, while the grains have a peppery taste and are rich in protein and other nutrients. Grains, like most other grasses, are simple to grow. “They’re more adapted to dry land conditions. You don’t have to irrigate as much,” said Bob Van Veldhuizen, a research technician with the University of Alaska Fairbanks School of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences. “They also don’t require as many nutrients as things like tomatoes.” Van Veldhuizen has worked primarily on hull-less varieties. “They’re of more interest to hobby gardeners,” he said. “You don’t need a home threshing machine.” Most grains are very hardy, thriving in USDA Zones 3 to 8 and beyond, said Dan Jason, a seedsman from Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. “They’re fast growing — 90 to 100 days to maturity,” Jason said. “They’re not killed by frosts. You can sew some grains in September and harvest them in June, freeing the garden for another crop.” Online: For more about whole grains and nutrition, see this Kansas State University Research and Extension guide: ksre.ksu.edu/humannutrition/w holegrains.htm.

BLAZE: (Continued from Page 1) spread all the way to the far west side, where the ski rental shop was damaged. Ironwood businessman Mark Fitting and about a dozen people were removing damaged items from Fitting’s ski shop and loading them into the back of a pickup truck around 6 p.m. The ski shop was underwater. An employee managed to take Powderhorn’s computer server out of the main lodge before it was destroyed, according to another employee. By 1 p.m., firefighters had most of the flames under control, but black smoke still billowed from the smoldering building. A wall collapsed on one side of the lodge around 5:30 p.m., but most of the building remained standing, although burned beyond repair. Water turned to ice in front of the building from melted snow by nightfall, and numerous firemen remained at the scene, although they weren’t using hoses. Since there were no hydrants in the area, water had to be brought in by trucks at a continuous rate. Multiple ladder trucks from different departments controlled
the fire from above. Firefighters from 9 area departments responded to assist. Firefighters remained at the scene throughout the day. Area police officers were stationed at the U.S. 2 intersection at Powderhorn Road and along Powderhorn Road, just north of the hill, to direct traffic. Powderhorn Road was closed to non-emergency traffic in the immediate area of the fire. The origin of the fire was unknown, Matonich said. Chiapuzio said he believed the fire may have come from the garbage room near the cafeteria. A fire marshal was expected to be on the scene at 9 this morning to begin his investigation to determine the cause of fire. Caribou Lodge was initially set up as a first responder point and remained a station for first aid, shelter and meeting place throughout most of the afternoon.
OTHER HILLS OFFER AID To help Big Powderhorn get back up and running smoothly, the owner and general manager of Blackjack Mountain Ski Resort, Rick Schmitz, said nearby Blackjack was sharing business supplies such as lift tickets with the resort.
At Indianhead Mountain Resort, near Wakefield, vicepresident of sales and marketing Dave Nyquist said Indianhead had not been approached for assistance, but stood ready to offer it. “We’ve always helped each other in the past,” Nyquist said. “Even though we’re competitors, we’re a tight-knit group. “I can’t imagine what they’re going through. ... Thank God no one was injured.” Other fire departments responding on Thursday were the Ironwood Public Safety Department, Bessemer, Bessemer Township and Wakefield; and from Wisconsin, Hurley, Kimball, Saxon-Gurney and Oma. The Montreal Fire Department was backing up the city of Ironwood. Also on hand were personnel from Beacon Ambulance, Michigan State Police, Gogebic County Road Commission, Gogebic County Victims Services and the American Red Cross. According to Powderhorn’s website, anyone with reservations for lodging should contact the lodging office at 800-501-7669.

Lady Nimrods avoid upset bid
Gordon’s buzzer beater pushes E-TC past Hurley Ironwood beats South Shore; W-M downs Mercer
DOLLAR BAY — Watersmeet survived an upset attempt by Dollar Bay (3-6), 47-31, in Thursday’s non-conference game.
Girls basketball The Lady Nimrods, ranked No. 1 in the Upper Peninsula in Class D, led 20-19 at halftime, while the Bays held Marissa Burke scoreless. Watersmeet led 32-29 heading into the fourth quarter, where it outscored Dollar Bay 15-2. “We were lucky to come out with a victory,” Watersmeet coach Kathleen McGrath said. “It was a good victory for us. We needed one to see where we were.” The Bays clogged up the lane, taking away the Lady Nimrods’ options in the first half. On offense, when Dollar Bay reversed the ball, the defense was slow to get there and Dollar Bay’s Allison Fallon cashed in with three 3-pointers. McGrath put Michaela Burke into the game in the fourth quarter and asked her to rebound, get to the help side faster to slow down Fallon from the outside, and to screen for Gertie McGeshick. Fallon didn’t score in the final frame. “She sparked us,” McGrath said. “She did those three things to help us win that ballgame.” On offense, Watersmeet had all five players outside. That forced the Bays’ inside presence, Mariah Marcol, to come out and guard and opened up the lane for Watersmeet, which capitalized with layups. Marissa Burke came alive in the second half, scoring five points in the third quarter, including the last bucket, and five quick points to start the fourth quarter to give Watersmeet a 37-29 lead. She finished with 14 points and was the game’s second-highest scorer, behind McGeshick. “Marissa was really frustrated,” McGrath said of Michaela Burke. “She just doesn’t realize what she brings in passing and rebounds. It’s not all about points. She has to realize the game will come to her. And it did. She was back to her old self in the second half.” Danielle Benson led Dollar Bay with 10 points. Watersmeet (8-0) gets an even tougher test at home Monday when Bark River-Harris comes to town. “We really needed that to show the girls that we still need to work,” McGrath said.

Chassell led 12-8 after one quarter and expanded it to 26-12 at halftime to complete the season sweep over E-TC. “They really worked hard tonight,” E-TC coach Jacky Besonen said of her team. “They didn’t give up. They were more aggressive and not quite as scared as the first time we played them.” E-TC handled the press better and the fewer turnovers allowed Chassell to score only 47 points, compared to 65 in the first meeting. Chassell doubles whenever it can on defense. Mara Ryynanen led Chassell with 28 points, including 20 of the team’s 26 first-half points. Jamie Dompier had 10. Brittany Suomumaki had 10 points for E-TC. “Brittany Suomumaki had a good game,” Besonen said. “She really hustled. A couple shots finally fell for her, which was good to see.

Gladiators rally past Speedboys BESSEMER — Ontonagon battled back from a six-point halftime deficit to beat Bessemer 50-38 in a non-conference game Thursday.
Boys basketball The Gladiators, still shorthanded from illness that postponed Monday’s game against Baraga, trailed 28-22 at halftime. Ontonagon outscored Bessemer 28-10 in the second half. “We played very well in the first half,” Bessemer coach Mark Movrich said. “We didn’t sustain that intensity again in the second half.” The Speedboys moved the ball well, pushed it, looked to attack the Gladiators’ zone and played good defense in the first half. Ontonagon stayed in the game with good offensive rebounding from multiple players, Movrich said. Bessemer is now 5-3. It led at halftime in all three losses. “I don’t know what happened in the second half,” Movrich said. “I think they picked up their defensive intensity and I don’t know if we really matched it.” The Gladiators outscored Bessemer 17-3 in the third quarter, with Bessemer’s only bucket a Jordy Chiapuzio 3-pointer.
Taylor Smith led Bessemer with 18 points. Movrich gave Smith (6-2) credit for handling the bigger Jake Yaklyvich (6-3, 240, tackle, in football), who scored 13 points and grabbed 12 rebounds and is quite a force inside for Ontonagon. Smith “battled,” Movrich said. “I think if anything tonight, he found out the work that goes into post defense when the guy doesn’t have the ball.” Chiapuzio scored 11 of his 14 in the first half. Jacob Ludtke had six as three players scored for Bessemer. “We had some guys play well, but we need to get more from other people,” Movrich said. “When you score four points in the first 14 minutes of the (second) half and 10 points in the half, it’s tough to win.” Dylan Kirkley led Ontonagon with 15 points, 10 in the second half. He also had 17 rebounds. Bessemer plays at Lac Courte Oreilles today. Ontonagon (4-4) hosts Lake Linden-Hubbell on Monday. Ontonagon — Jake Mell 8, Jake Yaklyvich 13, Raul Batchelder 2, Chase Collins 8, Dylan Kirkley 15, T.J. Huotari 4. FT: 4-12; Fouls: 13; Fouled out: none; 3-pointers: Kirkley 1, Collins 1.

Hurley led 58-56 and it fouled Christian Taylor, who made both free throws with 17 seconds left. “Very clutch,” E-TC coach Brad Besonen said. “His last couple games, he’s struggled a little bit, so this is a real nice confidence booster for him. He stepped up and knocked them both in when we really needed them.” As E-TC had a trap on the sideline, Michael Borseth was in the middle of the court as Hurley tried to get the ball upcourt for a go-ahead layup. Borseth got the steal. Jordan LaPlant got penetration and kicked it out to Gordon, who made the NBA-range triple to win it. “He had a decent hand in his face,” Besonen said. “It was a perfect situation with Jordan passing to Dillon and those guys touching the ball at the end of the game.” LaPlant led all scorers with 21 and Gordon had 19. Neither player scored more than 12 points the previous two games after lighting up the scoreboard in the first three games. “It makes things go much easier for us offensively” when they score so well, Besonen said. “Hurley made them work for what they got.” Borseth and Taylor did a better job getting by defenders for dribble penetration after the team settled for contested 3s in other games, Besonen said. “Tonight was a really big step for us,” he said. “We’re really learning how to play good team basketball.” Logan Maki and Dan Livingston played well off the bench, Besonen said. Ty Patritto led Hurley with 16 points. Dillon Windt had 14 and Justin Rhenlund scored 11. E-TC had Patritto flustered in the first quarter, Besonen said, but he fought back from that as Hurley successfully used him against E-TC’s full-court press. “He works hard,” Besonen said. “He’s got quick feet and he’s not afraid to use his body.” Windt hurt the Panthers with his penetration, Besonen said. The Midgets’ size gave E-TC issues and they had a lot of offensive rebounds.
E-TC is 2-1 since the rivalry was renewed in the 2008-09 season with Hurley getting its win last year. “Excellent win for us after our last two games,” Besonen said. “The excitement afterwards, seeing the kids run out on the floor, it’s just what we needed (as a spark).” E-TC (4-2) hosts Watersmeet tonight for a Porcupine Mountain Conference game after the girls game against Ontonagon, which starts at 5:45 p.m. EST. Hurley (5-4) travels to Ironwood on Tuesday. Hurley — Dillon Windt 14, Tylor Jackson 4, Justin Rhenlund 11, Dallas Colassaco 1, Cole Kivisto 4, Jarret Rhenlund 4, Grant Innes 4, Ty Patritto 16.

The Red Devils lost to Bayfield in overtime, despite thinking they had won in regulation, because of a scoreboard mistake on Jan. 6. They lost the hangover game the next night to Solon Springs. “We needed this game from the standpoint we had a rough week last week,” Ironwood coach Pete Lewinski said. “We had our intensity the entire game. We played like we’re supposed to play.” The Devils had better shot selection and took the ball to the basket more on Thursday, he said. “I think the main thing was that our intensity was up,” Lewinski said. “We came to play. Last Friday night, we sleepwalked through Solon Springs. Tonight, we played like we had been playing in our first five games. That helps us going into our Tuesday game against our rival Hurley Midgets.” Tyler Gottschalk led Ironwood with 18 points. Adam Mackey scored 13 and Mike Gotham had 12. “Our starters had solid games,” Lewinski said. “And we had good play off the bench from Matt Keski, Josiah Hewitt and Casey Carlson.” Zak Lied had 13 points for the Cardinals. Alex Pearson had 12. (See BOYS — Page 10)
Michigan QB Denard Robinson to stay at school; Forcier not with program ANN ARBOR (AP) — Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson has decided to stay and play for coach Brady Hoke. School spokesman Dave Ablauf says Robinson informed Hoke of his decision during a meeting on Thursday. “I am not surprised,” athletic director Dave Brandon wrote in an e-mail. “But nevertheless delighted that Denard has confirmed his decision to stay at the University of Michigan to earn his degree and provide leadership to our football team.” Robinson’s high school coach said 10 to 15 schools had called him by Wednesday afternoon, expressing their interest in the dual-threat QB if he chose to transfer. The first player in NCAA history to throw and run for 1,500 yards hasn’t publicly reacted to
the firing of Rich Rodriguez last week or the hiring of Hoke. Robinson came to Michigan because of Rodriguez’s spread offense and the Wolverines led Big Ten in total offense this season, though went 3-5 in the league. Robinson finished sixth in voting for the Heisman Trophy and won awards as the Big Ten’s offensive player of the year and MVP. Brandon said Wednesday that backup quarterback Tate Forcier was no longer with the program after introducing Hoke as the new leader of college football’s winningest team. Forcier was academically ineligible to play for the Wolverines in the Gator Bowl. Messages seeking comment have been left with Forcier.

Michigan quarterbacks Denard Robinson (16) and Tate Forcier (5) lead a cheer by the student section after Michigan's NCAA college football game against Bowling Green in Ann Arbor, Mich on Sept. 25. Robinson is staying, but Forcier, according to athletic director Dave Brandon, is no longer with the program.
Source: Yankees reach deal with reliever Soriano NEW YORK (AP) — A person familiar with the negotiations tells The Associated Press that the New York Yankees have reached a three-year agreement with AL saves leader Rafael Soriano.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday because the deal has not been finalized. Soriano must still pass a physical to complete the contract, which could be worth $35 million.
Soriano led the AL with 45 saves last season for Tampa Bay and then became a free agent. The 31-year-old righty was 3-2 with a 1.73 ERA in his only year with the Rays and was a member of the AL All-Star
team. Soriano joins a bullpen that has 41year-old Mariano Rivera as its closer. Rivera recently signed a two-year deal.

Appeals court to hear case on Wisconsin sports coverage APPLETON, Wis. (AP) — A federal appeals court in Chicago will hear arguments Friday to determine whether a high school athletic association can sign exclusive contracts for Internet streaming of its sports tournaments. The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association sued The Post-Crescent of Appleton, Gannett Co. Inc. and the Wisconsin Newspaper Association in 2008 over the issue. In June, a federal judge agreed with the WIAA’s argument that the organization’s exclusive contract with a Madison-area Internet streaming company didn’t violate the constitutional rights of news organizations. The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals could take several months to issue a decision in the case.

NCAA president: Tougher parent rules needed SAN ANTONIO (AP) — NCAA president Mark Emmert on Thursday called for new rules so parents no longer “sell the athletic services” of their children in the wake of backlash following the investigation into Auburn quarterback Cam Newton. Emmert didn’t mention the Heisman Trophy winner during his first state of the association speech at the NCAA’s annual convention. But he said the NCAA could vote on new enforcements early as April. “It’s wrong for parents to sell the athletic services of their student athletes to a university, and we need to make sure that we have rules to stop that problem,” Emmert said. “And today we don’t. We have to fix that. Student athletes trading on their standing as star student athletes for money or benefits is not acceptable, and we need to address it and make sure it doesn’t happen.”
scored 11 of her 15 points in the fourth quarter streaking through the press, resulting in wide-open layups. “She played very well for us tonight, especially considering she was covering their best player in (Tommi) Sarri and held her to four points,” Mercer coach Phill Smith said. The Tigers also got balanced scoring from Zena Wilson, who added 13 points. “She (Wilson) was our best player,” said Smith. “She is very good at getting to the basket and drawing fouls.” Smith said he was pleased with his teams’ performance. “We played really well,” he said. “We played our offense and solid defense, holding them to
open layup. “Those points could have gotten us back into the game,” said Richards. W-M outrebounded Mercer 32-13. “It seems like their height, experience and that they seemed to be in a better place at a better time all led to their rebounding,” said Richards. W-M center Eric Lane (6-3) soaked up 11 offensive rebounds and led all scorers with 28 points, 22 on second chance opportunities. He also shot 4 of 5 from the charity stripe. “Every time he got the ball, he put it right back up,” said Wakefield-Marenisco coach Gary Pikka. “Lane is a very good inside player,” said Richards. “We were working on the press throughout the game and it seemed like he was the guy that got the ball inside the middle.” Mercer led the Cardinals 1411 after the first quarter, but after nine turnovers in the second went into the break down 28-20. “We played OK,” said Pikka.
Malzahn. “It’s been a blessing for me to be a part of something so great,” he said. “Any time you win games it’s a big deal, but for this school to win a BCS national championship, what a way to make people happy. Auburn is a special place that I can call home.” The national champions are waiting on Lombardi Award-winning defensive tackle Nick Fairley to announce his NFL decision on Friday in his hometown of Mobile. Fairley might be the No. 1 overall pick, but the 6-foot-6, 250-pound Newton is the guy that Chizik called “probably the best football player I’ve ever seen” after the Southeastern Conference championship game.

“We didn’t play at the level that we are capable of, but we caused a lot of turnovers that helped give us a lot of buckets.” Nate Sabec led the Tigers with 17 points. “We won the first quarter and the fourth quarter,” said Richards. “They pressed up and their pressue forced us into a lot of mistakes. We’re young and inexperienced,” he said. “But we’re playing better and we’re a lot closer than we were a month ago.” “Mercer is a young team; they are working hard,” said Pikka. “They’ll get better and be up again soon.” The Tigers travel to Bayfield (8-2, 6-1) tonight.

Won and done: Auburn QB Cam Newton to enter draft MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton will skip his senior season and enter the NFL draft after leading Auburn to a national championship and drawing nearly as much attention for a pay-for-play scandal as for his dynamic performances. Auburn released a statement Thursday night announcing the quarterback’s decision following his lone year as a major college starter. Newton led the Tigers to their first national title since 1957 and a 14-0 season with a 22-19 victory over Oregon on Monday night. “This decision was difficult for me and my family,” Newton said, adding that he made it after talking to coach Gene Chizik and offensive coordinator Gus

Wakefield-Marinesco heads to Watersmeet (8-0, 3-0) Tuesday night for a Porcupine Mountain Conference battle.

A few late-breaking items for the fans
A new team, Leavine Fenton Racing, has been formed to compete in the Sprint Cup and Camping World Truck series. Owned by Texans Bob Leavine and Lance Fenton, the team will run Fords with driver David Starr paired with crew chief Wally Rogers. The Cup plans include two races each at Charlotte and Texas, as well as Kentucky and Chicagoland. NASCAR drivers AJ Allmendinger and Michael McDowell will be teamed with IndyCar’s Justin Wilson in the Rolex 24 at Daytona. It is one of three Daytona

Danica Patrick, asked about
any Sprint Cup plans, said there would be no point in competing at the Cup level unless she makes a further commitment to NASCAR. She said she was Patrick “a long way” from deciding whether or not NASCAR was what she “wanted to do.” Patrick was in Mobile, Ala., for the GoDaddy. com Bowl.

Daytona 500 Stands Alone Sprint Cup season’s premier race also its most important By Monte Dutton
NASCAR This Week
The Daytona 500 is NASCAR’s most prestigious race, and quite often, one of its more exciting. It’s also the first race of the season, which sets it apart from most other sports. The numbers suggest that the Daytona 500 is a poor predictor of what will follow. Jamie McMurray pulled off a memorable upset a year ago but did not manage to follow up by contending for the Sprint Cup championship or even making the Chase. Jimmie Johnson has won five straight championships but only began the first by winning the 500. Before Johnson, no Cup champion had won the Daytona 500 in that year since Jeff Gordon in 1997. In the 2010 Daytona 500, only five of the top 10 finishers wound up making the Chase. The eventual champion, Johnson, placed 35th. The eventual runner-up, Denny Hamlin, was 17th. Why does NASCAR hold its most important race first?
■ It focuses attention on the season right off the bat and gives NASCAR a boost in interest as football is ending, basketball and hockey are at their height and baseball is starting to rustle. ■ It raises expectations, however premature. A year ago, Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished second in the 500. ■ All the teams are at the height of their resources. No one is running on empty when the season begins. ■ Many teams that might not be competitive later desperately attempt to do well as a means of securing sponsorship. McMurray didn’t make the Chase, but he did manage to win three races, including the two richest. His earnings from the Daytona 500 and Brickyard 400 (Indianapolis) alone totaled almost $2 million. A year ago, McMurray surprised the sporting nation. Earnhardt Jr. served notice to his legion of fans that perhaps his fortunes were getting better. McMurray failed to blossom into a title contender, and Earnhardt languished for most of the rest of the year. It was, however, fun while it lasted.
Busch hasn’t forgotten that he was eased out at Hendrick Motorsports to make room for Earnhardt. He revels in how much better he has done at Joe Gibbs Racing. Earnhardt has taken the high road throughout but would undoubtedly like to even the score. NASCAR This Week’s Monte Dutton gives his take: “What would make this a significant rivalry would be a return to form by Junior.”

There isn’t much benefit to the “seat time,” but as usual, a number of NASCAR drivers are competing in the Jan. 29-30 Rolex 24 at Daytona. Among them is five-time Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson. Almost every year Michael Waltrip Racing has fallen short of preseason expectations. Perhaps it’s time for those expectations to be tempered a bit. NASCAR tinkered with the Budweiser Shootout format again. After all, how could the race be run without Kevin Conway in the field? David Reutimann and AJ Allmendinger are the most prominent drivers left out in the Shootout shuffle. On the heels of an ill-fated performance in the Dakar Rally, Robby Gordon has now decided to compete for the SCORE off-road championship. He’s going to know exactly how far it is from the desert to a NASCAR victory lane. The question regarding Hendrick Motorsports’ offseason changes isn’t whether they will work as much as it is how much they will work. Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin and Dale Earnhardt Jr. all need a boost. Richard Childress Racing had a big year in 2008, a rotten year in 2009 and another big year in 2010. In 2009, RCR attempted unsuccessfully to expand from three to four teams. That is again the case this year. Perhaps lessons have been learned, or perhaps not.
Prototype entries by Michael Shank Racing. The 49th running of the twice-around-theclock race is Jan. 29-30. J.C. France Allmendinger will also compete in the Rolex 24. The 45-year-old grandson of NASCAR founder William H.G. France has been out of action for more than a year after facing charges of drug possession and street racing in 2009. Charges were eventually dismissed in the case after France’s arrest by the Daytona Beach, Fla., police department.

Ford Nears Epic Victory Ford’s next victory will be its 600th in what is now the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. The first occurred on June 25, 1950, in Dayton, Ohio, and it was the only victory for Ohioan Jimmy Florian, who passed Curtis Turner with 35 laps to go and outran a field that also included Lee Petty, Bill Rexford and Frank Mundy. Turner settled for fourth place, with Dick Linder ending up as the runner-up. Florian was a Cleveland native.
Budweiser Shootout keeps bumping along By Monte Dutton
NASCAR This Week
Gordon
Stewart
Who’s hot: New crew chiefs have resulted in optimism for the Hendrick Motorsports teams of Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon and Mark Martin. Of the three, only Gordon made the 2010 Chase. Who’s not: Tony Stewart enters 2011 trying to rebuild momentum after a disappointing 2010 Chase. ... Kurt Busch, who finished 11th, is in a similar predicament.
Once upon a time, the Budweiser Shootout had a niche. It matched, with a few exceptions, the pole winners from the previous season. Since Budweiser still sponsors the race but doesn’t sponsor the Sprint Cup Series’ pole award anymore, the Shootout can’t be affiliated with fast qualifiers anymore. Such is the way NASCAR works. So the Shootout no longer has a niche. Its rules of inclusion change constantly. The latest wrinkle involves the inclusion of former rookies of the year, who can no longer be referred to as Raybestos Rookies of the Year because Raybestos no longer sponsors that award. OK, get pencil and paper ready. This year’s Budweiser Shootout will include: ■ The drivers who made the 2010 Chase ■ Past champions ■ Past Shootout winners ■ Past Daytona 500 and Coke Zero 400 winners ■ Rookie of the Year 2001-10 It might be simpler for NASCAR to define the field as “whom we want.” As it now stands, eligible drivers are: Jimmie Johnson, Denny Hamlin, Kevin Harvick Carl Edwards Matt Kenseth

Though Bill Elliott remains a part of the Wood Brothers’ plan, it’s unclear how much time, if any, he will share with Bayne. It apparently depends on sponsorship and how well Bayne fares in Cup races. Still out there somewhere — Robby Gordon suffered a crushing setback in the Dakar Rally retiring in the fourth

RB Starks adds wrinkle as Falcons prep for Packers By CHRIS JENKINS AP Sports Writer
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons were just as surprised as most of the fans sitting at home. Until this week, they’d never heard of Green Bay Packers running back James Starks, either. Before Sunday, Starks was a sixthround pick out of Buffalo who had struggled to get on the field because of injuries and inconsistent practice habits. Then he rushed for 123 yards in Green Bay’s 21-16 playoff victory at Philadelphia. “He came out of nowhere,” Falcons middle linebacker Curtis Lofton said. “I’d never heard of Starks. I’d never seen him on film until the past two weeks. But he’s a talented back.” And after smothering the Packers’ running game when the two teams played back in November, the Falcons certainly don’t plan to allow some rookie to have a big performance in Saturday’s playoff game at the Georgia Dome. “When you can run the ball and pass the ball, that makes you that much more dangerous,” Lofton said. “They tried to run the ball against us the first time, and we shut it down. So that’s what we’re looking to do again.” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Starks has earned a bigger role in the offense. “He’ll have opportunities in Atlanta,” McCarthy said. “How many, the game will dictate that. He has earned that opportunity based off his performance this past week.” Starks says he’s ready. “If you love this game, you love having the ball in your hands,” Starks said. “I would love to have that but I’m grateful for whatever I can get. I’ll take whatever I’m offered.” But even the Packers concede that Starks’ breakout performance doesn’t necessarily mean they have solved their season-long running game problems. “I think if we’re being honest, last week was a little bit of an anomaly, if you’re comparing it to the last seven or eight weeks,” Aaron Rodgers said. “Often my own rushing stats have bumped up the average. Our feature back has been averaging in the threes, usually, and we might end up with 33 carries for 120 yards. It was just a matter of the stuff we were calling was working. We blocked better and James was decisive.” After losing running back Ryan Grant to an ankle injury in Week 1, the Packers spent most of this season struggling to run the ball and leaned heavily on Rodgers and his receivers. The Packers’ running game hit a low point in their Nov. 28 loss at Atlanta. In addition to throwing for 344 yards, Rodgers was the Packers’ leading rusher with 51 yards. Running back Brandon Jackson ‹ a second-round pick in 2007 who was expected to carry the load after Grant’s injury ‹ chipped in a mere 26 yards rushing in that game. And while Rodgers is proud of his underrated athletic ability, it would be just fine with him if he never led the Packers in rushing again. Could Starks be the difference for the Packers this time around? “Well, we’ll see about that,” Rodgers said. “Last time, I was the leading rusher. Hopefully that’s not the case again. But you’ve got to give credit to James and the way he prepared last week. He was the hot guy and he got the ball. Every week, you never know who’s going to get the majority of the carries. I’m just hopeful it’s not going to be me this week.” Even if Starks can’t duplicate last week’s performance, his potential to do so could be enough to keep the Falcons’ defense from loading up to stop Rodgers and set up the Packers’ play-action passing game. “It’s huge,” Falcons safety William Moore said. “Now they’re good all around. Me, personally, I don’t go off one game. We’ll continue to do our game plan and just do what we’ve been executing. But he’s a great rookie. He carried the load the last game. I’m sure he’s going to show up this game with the momentum he had last game.” Starks missed his entire senior season at Buffalo because of a shoulder injury, then began this season on the physically unable to perform list because of a hamstring injury. He had a strong debut, rushing for 73 yards in a win over San Francisco Dec. 5, but didn’t do much the following week and sat out back-to-back games after coaches became concerned with his practice habits. Rodgers said Starks got the message. “I don’t know if you’re going to get 123 yards every week out of him. I don’t even know if he’s going to be the hot back this week,” Rodgers said. “But we expect him to prepare to play well and practice the way he expects to play. That’s the reason he got the opportunity, because his practice habits have improved. Coach says it, I’ve said it before, you need to show us in practice what you can do in order for us to have confidence you can do it in a game. That goes for James and any other player on

Your Horoscope Your Birthday Friday, January 14, 2011
BERNICE BEDE OSOL
The year ahead could be one of your more successful solar cycles, when it comes to enterprises you either originate or personally direct and control. It will be important to keep this in mind if you are considering a partnership arrangement. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You normally have a commanding presence about you, which can be either pleasant or unattractive depending upon how you use it. Currently, this demeanor will add luster to your image. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Getting a job that you deem vital done properly will be more important to you than applause. You aren’t likely to care about who gets credit for doing this or that. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — The influence you have over your intimate circle of friends could be stronger than usual. Be sure to use it in very constructive ways, such as doing the most good for the greatest number. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Your material prospects continue to look pretty good, so try to develop to the fullest any opportunity you have to bring in that extra cabbage. Make those lucky breaks count. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Listen attentively to any information coming from someone you know to be a profound thinker. Something s/he says could be beneficial to you in an extremely big way. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Some kind of a joint arrangement that you have with another could start to work out better than you had anticipated. It involves an area in which each of you has done some extra spadework. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Even though you tend to like being a loner, you are apt to discover that a situation that offers more than usual is one where you don’t mind operating in close conjunction with another. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — If you hope to achieve something of substance, don’t put any limitations on your talents, know-how and capabilities. Go all out, and you’re likely to impress even yourself, as well as others. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You’re not necessarily a gambler, but right now you could be rather lucky in situations that call for pronounced elements of chance. However, be sure you take a risk only for the right reasons. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Even though your progress may appear to be slow, as long as it is steady you’ll end up achieving everything you want by the end of the workday. Keep plugging like a kitchen-appliance tester. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Those whom you deal with will find you to be quite an agreeable person, which will have a ripple effect and encourage others to be the same to all those they meet. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Although you can be quite successful doing for yourself, when you go out of your way to perform specific services for others, larger than usual rewards are likely to result.
No room in life for empty marriage Dear Annie: I have been married to my high school sweetheart for more than 20 years, and in that time, we have become homebodies. Every year since we tied the knot, the passion has gradually declined, and lately, it’s about dead. I am beginning to see life slip away without having done anything exciting. I happily gave up many interests for my wife, but I have recently regained my enjoyment of thrilling adventures, even if it means doing so alone. I’d like her to join me, and my enthusiasm has put pressure on our relationship because my wife refuses to explore all that life has to offer. I love her and believe she loves me, but I don’t believe we are “in love” anymore. The sparks are gone, and we barely talk. I am miserable and have been for decades, but the wonderful times I spend with our children keep me going. A man needs to feel a woman’s affection. A good friend convinced me that infidelity was not the answer, but she also said that I am cheating myself and teaching my children that marriage doesn’t include conversation, hugging or love. She also said I am being unfair to my wife by staying in an unfulfilling marriage. I am tired of spending what little time we have together being pushed away and vegging in front of the TV. I believe it is time to man up and move on, but I am afraid to be alone and don’t want to damage my kids or end up seeing them once a week. Should I continue to bottle up my feelings and keep my family together, or should we call it quits? I am not interested in therapy. I don’t want to share my hurt feelings with a stranger. — No More Frustrations, Please Dear No More Frustration: You are sharing them with us, so we’ll try to give you some advice. There is nothing stopping you from enjoying activities without
SPEED BUMP
Annie’s Mailbox your wife — many couples have separate interests. But you seem to think life is passing you by, so the need for excitement has taken on an urgency. Leaving your wife without attempting counseling is self-serving. Bottling up your feelings does not allow her to respond to or understand the depth of your unhappiness. We cannot promise counseling will help her change her ways, but it will help you feel you have done all you can to save your marriage. We assume that is what you want to do. Dear Annie: At a movie theater, is there a rule for which armrest belongs to you? — Jim in Omaha Dear Jim: No. The only rule is, you don’t get to hog both armrests. And sometimes, unfortunately, it means you won’t get either one, which is why you have a lap. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Taken Aback in Michigan,” who was surprised that someone held a benefit to raise money for a funeral. I am not sure how many of your readers are aware of how difficult it is to get the price of a funeral much below $1,000, and that would be for cremation — no embalming, no casket and no delivery of the ashes. Someone must pick them up. I would like to suggest people visit www.funerals.org. The site has links for local Funeral Consumers Alliance organizations. Ours does a survey every two years of local funeral homes and cemeteries so that those in need can make financially sound deci-
