HURLEY — Iron County has entered into an option-to-lease agreement with Gogebic Taconite for surface rights on five square miles of property west of Upson, Wis. It gives a stamp of official approval to the potential return of iron ore mining to the area.

Gogebic Taconite president Bill Williams and chief engineer Tim Meyers attended Tuesday’s Iron County Board meeting, where Williams signed the agreement.

Williams worked at the White Pine Copper Co. for eight years, leaving in 1997. (He is not the same Bill Williams of the Copperwood Project across the border in the Upper Peninsula.)

There was no further discussion about Gogebic Taconite’s mining venture at Tuesday’s meeting.

Earlier in the day, Iron County Board chairman Dennis DeRosso said he would soon schedule a public informational meeting on the proposed min-

ing project.

As part of the option-to-lease agreement, Gogebic Taconite will pay Iron County $20,000 for a twoyears period with four renewable periods of two years each.

In December, Matt Fifield, managing director of Gogebic Taconite (part of the Cline Group from Fort Lauderdale, Fla.), said Gogebic Taconite could begin exploratory field work after the property has been leased.

Fifield said Gogebic Taconite proposes to mine iron ore from an area about 22 miles long and 1,200 feet wide between Upson and Mellen, in both Iron and Ashland counties.

Gogebic Taconite will next enter into the permit process, with dozens of federal and state permits required. Fifield said the permit process would take five to seven years.

PARK FALLS, Wis. — Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources’ plans to capture deer in nets from a helicopter have been delayed.

Aerial deer capture efforts that had been scheduled from Monday to Feb. 4 in Price and Rusk counties will be rescheduled.

Jim Bishop, public information officer for the WDNR’s Spooner office, said there has been a mechanical problem with the helicopter that will be used to net the deer.

Capturing the deer is the first stage of a multi-year effort

by DNR wildlife researchers to

follow and document the causes of death, including predators, hunters, vehicles and natural events.

In addition to some lower Wisconsin counties, the netting effort will be extended to Park Falls, Exeland and Winter in Price, Rusk and Sawyer counties. Netting operations are expected to last four to five days on public and privately owned lands in cooperation with landowners who are assisting researchers.

Researchers will capture 60 to 90 adult deer each in the Shawano and Rusk-Price Counties areas with nets from the (See DEER — Page 2)

SAXON, Wis. — Fishermen who scrambled off Lake Superior when the ice broke at Saxon Harbor Saturday afternoon won’t be fined for leaving vehicles and equipment behind, according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

Jim Bishop, public information officer for the DNR’s Spooner office, said he contacted Dave Oginski, DNR supervisor of the Lake Superior basin.

Oginski indicated citations wouldn’t be issued because the cracking of the ice was an act of nature, and “humans had no control.”

Fifty to 75 fishermen were out on the near-shore ice when north winds blew it apart around 12:50 p.m. The Ashland Fire Department’s Ice Angel rescue sled rescued two fishermen who were stuck on bobbing floes about a quarter mile offshore.

Bishop said it’s difficult to determine how many snowmobiles, boats, all-terrain

vehicles and pieces of fishing equipment were left on the ice. He said some tents were visible from shore on Monday on ice that hadn’t disintegrated.

Some fishermen were able to get their vehicles and equipment off the ice after hearing the roar of the under-ice wave approaching.

Bishop noted the force of the wave shot water through the holes that had been drilled by fishermen and quickly broke up the ice, creating chasms.

With open water now visible not far

from shore, many of the floating items will never be recovered.

Tim Ciembronowicz, the Ashland Fire Department pilot of the ice sled, said Tuesday morning that the four members of the fire department were being honored in the evening by the mayor and city council for their life-saving efforts.

The four members are Tom Walters, Jon Paulson, Rayne Edinger and Tom Ciembronowicz.

GCC assesses space for growing programs

By JON HAWLEY jhawley@yourdailyglobe.com

IRONWOOD — Growing pains were a theme during Tuesday’s Gogebic Community College board of trustees meeting.

Case in point was the college’s one-year utility technician program, which the trustees discussed with its instructor, Mike Popko.

According to GCC’s director of admissions and public information officer Jeanne Graham, the board was reviewing Popko’s program as part of a regular, fiveyear cycle all its academic programs go through.

Popko’s report was primarily positive.

He highlighted that the program was profitable, had full enrollment for the last two years, and benefitted from various companies donating equipment needed for instruction.

“A lot of things that they throw away, for all intents and purposes, are still useful to us for learning,” Popko said.

However, he noted swelling enrollment at GCC over the last few years was pinching storage and instructional space.

“We lack dedicated lab and classroom space to set up equipment and leave it there permanently,” Popko said, explaining that his program shares space with several other programs and loses time setting up equipment.

“The growth in enrollment is good, but it has a negative side as well,” said GCC President Jim Lorenson. “It makes it very tough to find the appropriate space for programs and classes.”

Lorenson said Popko’s pro-

gram used to share space with the building trades program, but, as that program has acquired more equipment, the arrangement became unworkable.

“Obviously the capital outlay project will help,” Lorenson said, referring to a recently approved state appropriation of $750,000 for a $1.5 million renovation of GCC’s Carl Kleimola Technical Center. GCC will pay the remaining half of the project, which Lorenson said during last month’s meeting would put a second floor over a large area of the automotive technology area.

With that project still being years from completion, Lorenson and the board discussed shortterm solutions to a lack of space, including purchasing trailers for equipment storage.

TRYING NOT

TO

JINX IT

Increased enrollment also helped frame an update on GCC’s financial standing given

by Lorenson and dean of business services Erik Guenard.

Lorenson said there remains a public perception that, like K-12 schools, colleges receive increased state aid with increased enrollment.

This is not the case, he said.

“Over the same period, about the last three years, in which we’ve had 25 percent growth, our state aid has actually dropped,” Lorenson said.

State lawmakers continue to struggle with a $1.6 billion or more budget deficit for the coming year.

Lorenson said any cuts to state aid GCC might face would become clearer next month after

Gov. Rick Snyder unveils his budget plan.

With some hesitation, Guenard told the board that GCC’s balance sheet is in order and reflects growth overall from the previous year.

“We’re in a good position, but I don’t want to jinx it,” he said.

OTHER BUSINESS In other business, the board: —Received a legislative report from the college’s state lobbyist, Tom Bernthal, in which he notified the board he was retiring in June. Lorenson said it would be difficult to replace him, given his years of service to GCC and his background as a former executive director for the Michigan Community College Association.

—Approved the purchase of a $7,760 surveillance system for GCC’s auto shop from System Technologies, of Merrill, Wis. Graham said minor thefts from the unmonitored area have been a problem for several years.

—Approved purchasing a $21,878 vehicle from Red’s Auto, of Ironwood, for the maintenance program.

—Approved hiring Rahmberg Stover and Associates, of Birmingham, Mich., for as much as $11,500 for a classification study for the school’s support staff.

Graham said this study would evaluate staff duties and compensation, adding that similar studies are done for other GCC personnel.

—Authorized administration to seek applicants for dean of student services, a position filled on an interim basis by Graham over the last three months.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — A military panel’s mental evaluation of the Army psychiatrist charged in the deadly shooting rampage at Fort Hood will not prevent the military from pursuing a court-martial, his lead defense attorney said Tuesday.

The report submitted to Army officials and defense attorneys last week offers an assessment of Maj. Nidal Hasan’s mental state during the November 2009 shootings that killed 13 and wounded more than two dozen others, and whether he is competent to stand trial.

Military law experts have said that if such a panel were to determine a defendant is not competent to stand trial, or has a severe mental illness preventing him from knowing at the time that his alleged actions were wrong, the case likely would be delayed or even dismissed.

Hasan’s lead attorney, John Galligan, declined Tuesday to discuss the report’s findings but said it would not affect the Army’s plans for the case.

Smurfit Stone confirms sale of mill in Ontonagon

By JAN TUCKER jantuck@jamadots.com

ONTONAGON — Ron Megna, assistant secretary of Smurfit Stone Container in Chicago, confirmed Tuesday morning that the company had signed a letter of intent to sell the Ontonagon mill building to American Iron and Metals of Montreal, Canada.

Although American Iron and Metals had confirmed its intent to buy the mill from Smurfit Stone, the Chicago-based papermaker had not confirmed that action until Tuesday.

Megna said a final, definitive sale agreement had not yet been signed.

Bathroom fan called cause of fatal fire ISHPEMING TOWNSHIP, (AP) — Authorities say a malfunctioning bathroom exhaust fan probably caused a fire that killed two people in an Upper Peninsula home.

The fire in Marquette County’s Ishpeming Township apparently began early Saturday morning, but the victims weren’t found until relatives went to check on them Monday. The fire marshal division of the Michigan State Police inspected the dwelling.

The county sheriff’s department told WLUC-TV the fire was contained mostly to the bathroom. The county medical examiner’s office said it would take several weeks for toxicology tests to be completed, but it appears the victims died of smoke inhalation.

They were identified as Lois E. Roberts, 82, and her son, Daniel L. Roberts, 46.

MINING (Continued from Page 1) from managed forestry. On Tuesday, Iron County Clerk Mike Saari said the county will do that after Gogebic Taconite obtains the necessary permits.

The property on which the proposed open pit mining site is located is privately owned. Iron County owns property that abuts the mining site.

After the permit process has been completed, the company will make a decision on whether the project moves forward, followed by 18 months to two years for construction of the mining facility.

Mining would begin after the buildings are in place, Fifield said.

The company estimates that 14 tons to 16 tons of ore could be extracted from the deposit each year. The project is planned to run 30 years, Fifield said.

Concerns have been voiced over the use of harsh chemicals for processing the ore.

According to Fifield, the mining process involves: recovering

the taconite, grinding the ore, using magnets to separate out metal elements, adding bentonite and limestone to create a greed ball or a soft pellet, baking to create a harder, shippable pellet, and transporting the pellets by rail.

Fifield said no further processing of ore is planned, with no processing using harsh chemicals anticipated.

Gogebic Taconite plans to develop rail facilities along abandoned rail corridors in the area, Fifield added.

ECONOMIC BOOST

AREA

In December, DeRosso said the proposed mining project “will bring a great amount to the economy of the Gogebic Range.”

During a recent public information meeting in Ashland, Wis., Fifield said an estimated 600 to 650 jobs are expected to be created directly by the mine operation including heavy equipment operators, maintenance mechanics, control room operators, mine and other engineers, construction workers, management, trans-

Obama urges unity: ‘Move together or not at all’ WASHINGTON (AP) — Pleading for unity in a newly divided government, President Barack Obama implored Democratic and Republican lawmakers to rally behind his vision of economic revival for an anxious nation, declaring in his State of the Union address Tuesday night: “We will move forward together or not at all.”

The president unveiled an agenda of carefully balanced political goals: a burst of spending on education, research, technology and transportation to make the nation more competitive, alongside pledges, in the strongest terms of his presidency, to cut the deficit and smack down spending deemed wasteful to America.

Yet he never explained how he’d pull that off or what specifically would be cut.

Obama spoke to a television audience in the millions and a Congress sobered by the assassination attempt against one if its own members, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

Her seat sat empty, and many lawmakers of competing parties sat together in a show of support and civility.

Yet differences were still evident, as when Democrats stood to applaud his comments on health care and tax cuts while Republicans next to them sat mute.

Obama devoted most of his hour-long prime-time address to the economy, the issue that dominates concern in a nation still reeling from a monster recession — and the one that will shape his own political fortunes in the 2012 election.

Eager to show some budget toughness, Obama pledged to veto any bill with earmarks, the term used for lawmakers’ pet projects. House Speaker John Boehner and other Republicans applauded.

But Obama’s promise drew a rebuke from his own party even before he spoke, as Senate Major-

The criminal complaint was filed against Todd A. Engler, 41, in Iron County Circuit Court on Jan. 7. Engler is scheduled to appear in circuit court on Feb. 14.

The charge stems from an alleged incident on July 4, 2003, at the Engler residence on West North Mercer Lake Circle.

The victim, now 20, was 12 at the time of the alleged incident, according to the complaint.

The complaint alleges the victim “felt Todd Engler touching him. Engler started taking the blankets off (the victim), took his pants off,” and then had inappropriate contact with the victim.

As Engler left, “he asked (victim) if I liked it and said ‘Happy Birthday,’ and went away,” the complaint said, noting July 4 is the victim’s birthday.

The felony carries a penalty of up to 60 years in prison.

First lady Michelle Obama and guests applaud during President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address in Washington on Tuesday. Sitting in the first lady’s box from front left are John Green, Dallas Green, Roxanna Green, Obama, Brianna Mast, Jill Biden, Sgt. Brian Mast . Second row from second to the left are Kathy Proctor, Sgt. Nicole Mohabir, Dr. Peter Rhee, Brandon Fisher, Julie Fisher, Gary Allen and Ursula M. Burns. ity Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the president had enough power and that plans to ban earmarks were “a lot of pretty talk.”

Obama’s proposals Tuesday night ranged across the scope of government: cutting the corporate tax, providing wireless services for almost the whole nation, consolidating government agencies and freezing most discretionary federal spending for the next five years.

In the overarching theme of his speech, the president told the lawmakers: “The future is ours to win.”

In essence, Obama reset his agenda as he heads toward a reelection bid with less clout and limited time before the campaign consumes more attention.

GOP DISMISSIVE Yet Republicans have dismissed his “investment” proposals as merely new spending.

Republican Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, giving the GOP’s response, said the nation was at “a tipping point” leading to a dire future if federal deficits aren’t trimmed.

The Senate’s Republican leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, said the president had gotten the message from the November midterm elections and “changed the tone and the rhetoric from the first two years.”

Obama entered the House chamber to prolonged applause, and to the unusual sight of Republicans and Democrats

seated next to one another rather than on different sides of the center aisle.

And he began with a political grace note, taking a moment to congratulate Boehner, the new Republican speaker of the House.

Calling for a new day of cooperation, Obama said: “What comes of this moment will be determined not by whether we can sit together tonight but whether we can work together tomorrow.”

On a night typically known for its political theater, the lawmakers sometimes seemed subdued, as if still in the shadow of the Arizona shootings.

Many in both parties wore black-and-white lapel ribbons, signifying the deaths in Tucson and the hopes of the survivors.

Giffords’ husband was watching the speech from her bedside, as he held her hand.

At times, Obama delivered lighter comments, seeming to surprise his audience with the way he lampooned what he suggested was the government’s illogical regulation of salmon.

ON

THE

UPSWING

Halfway through his term, Obama stepped into this moment on the upswing, with a series of recent legislative wins in his pocket and praise from all corners for the way he responded to the shooting rampage in Arizona.

But he confronts the political reality is that he must to lead a divided government for the first time, with more than half of all Americans disapproving of the way he is handling the economy.

Over his shoulder a reminder of the shift in power on Capitol Hill: Boehner, in the seat that had been held by Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Obama conceded that everything he asked for would prompt more partisan disputes. “It will take time,” he said. “And it will be harder because we will argue about everything. The cost. The details. The letter of every law.”

Obama used the stories of some of the guests sitting with his wife, Michelle, to illustrate

his points, including a small business owner who, in the tradition of American ingenuity, designed a drilling technology that helped rescue the Chilean miners.

Flanking Mrs. Obama in the gallery: Brianna Mast, the wife of a soldier seriously injured in Afghanistan, and Roxanna Green, mother of the 9-year girl killed in the Tucson shooting.

The president cast the challenges facing the United States as bigger than either party.

He said the nation was facing a new “Sputnik” moment, and he urged efforts to create a wave of innovation to create jobs and a vibrant economic future, just as the nation vigorously responded to the Soviets beating the U.S. into space a half century ago.

There was less of the see-saw applause typical of State of the Union speeches in years past, where Democrats stood to applaud certain lines and Republicans embraced others. Members of the two parties found plenty of lines worthy of bipartisan applause.

In a speech with little focus on national security, Obama appeared to close the door on keeping any significant U.S. military presence in Iraq beyond the end of the year.

“This year, our civilians will forge a lasting partnership with the Iraqi people while we finish the job of bringing our troops out of Iraq,” the president said.

The president reiterated his call for a comprehensive immigration bill, although there appears little appetite for it Congress.

Another big Obama priority that stalled and died in the last Congress, a broad effort to address global climate change, did not get a mention in the State of the Union.

Nor did gun control or the struggling effort to secure peace in the Middle East.

The president ended in a sweeping fashion.

“We do big things,” the president said. “The idea of America endures.”

Nicole L. Kipfmiller, 20, looks toward her family as she leaves Bay County Circuit Judge Joseph K. Sheeran’s courtroom on Monday after being sentenced to 8 to 15 years for the slaying of her newborn son. On Nov. 30, the day her trial was to begin, Kipfmiller pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter and disposal of a body. In exchange, prosecutors agreed to dismiss a count of second-degree murder.

Woman pleads guilty in death of newborn RACINE, Wis. (AP) — A Racine restaurant worker accused of giving birth at work and discarding the newborn in a trash bin has pleaded guilty to reckless homicide.

Prosecutors say Breanna Gering, 24, of Franklin, gave birth Aug. 16 in the bathroom of a Perkins restaurant, placed her baby inside some trash bags and disposed of the child in a waste bin behind the restaurant.

Later that day, Gering went to a Racine hospital for treatment of cramps and bleeding.

She denied giving birth.

The Journal Times said a charge of concealing the death of her child was to be dismissed as part of an agreement with prosecutors.

Gering appeared in Racine County Circuit Court Monday.

In Their Opinion

Judge DNR secretary on her work, not past If you haven’t heard it by now, Wisconsin is open for business.

Gov. Scott Walker made economic development a central part of his campaign and he’s hitting the ground running with the concept. Even his Department of Natural Resources secretary selection reflects the idea.

Cathy Stepp, a former state senator, has run a construction company and co-owns a trucking equipment firm. She has promised to streamline the project permitting process and wants to work on job creation.

Walker has made it clear he wants everyone in state government to focus on the future of business. But we’re concerned about the DNR secretary’s past.

Stepp hasn’t been shy about criticizing the agency. She called it “anti-development, anti-transportation, and progarter snakes, karner blue butterflies.” Those are harsh words about an agency charged with protecting the environment.

She said in an interview with the Wisconsin State Journal that her critiques would not affect morale at the agency. We hope that’s the case.

In the end, Walker is entitled to select the person he thinks will best serve the state, and Stepp’s business background does give her a good perspective on how companies interact with the DNR. She, just like everyone, should to be judged on her performance as secretary. That is what matters, and that is what Wisconsinites will be watching.

The state already has several agencies working to promote economic development. Walker must make sure the focus of the DNR doesn’t veer too far toward job creation over resource protection.

We already have a few concerns about that. One of Stepp’s first tasks as secretary was to appoint leaders within the agency. Only one outsider was selected, and he was formerly a counsel for the Wisconsin Transportation Builders Association and environment policy director for Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce. Pat Stevens will lead the Division of Air and Waste.

Again, there seems to be a bias toward businesses. But Stevens will have to prove that’s not the case.

Stepp and the DNR appointees must remember that the state’s abundant natural resources make it unique.

They’re just as central to Wisconsin’s long-term viability as job creation.

Even a garter snake can see that.

House GOP begins drive to dismantle Obamacare Everyone knows House Republicans (along with three Democrats) voted on Jan. 19 to repeal Obamacare. But fewer people know what those same House Republicans — this time, with more than a dozen Democrats — did on Jan. 20.

By a vote of 253 to 175, the GOP directed key House committees to report on ways to lower healthcare premiums, allow patients to keep their current health plans, increase access to coverage for those with pre-existing conditions, and decrease the price of medicalliability lawsuits. In other words, the committees are beginning work on replacing the House-repealed Obamacare with Republican health policies.

Repeal got a lot of press coverage. Replacement got far less. If they needed any reminding, GOP lawmakers are learning that controlling the levers of power in the House doesn’t mean controlling the media narrative on health care. “Democrats wanted to characterize repeal as draconian, ignoring the fact that we do have very, very positive alternatives,” says Rep. David Dreier, chairman of the House Rules Committee. “It’s been difficult for us to get that (message) out there. We said repeal and replace, and we’re in the process of replacing.”

House Republicans are pursuing a threepart strategy. Part one was repeal; they promised to do it, and they did it. Part two is replace, which in coming months will involve House votes on a series of GOP healthcare measures. And part three — because full repeal can’t win in the Senate — is another series of votes on measures to repeal individual parts of Obamacare. The net result will be that Republicans gradually push more and more House Democrats — and perhaps some in the Senate — away from an all-ornothing defense of Obamacare.

Byron York

When Democrats passed the national healthcare bill, many admitted that they didn’t like this or that part, or that the bill as a whole wasn’t “perfect.” But after Obamacare became law, they balked at changing even the smallest part. For example, there is widespread agreement that the so-called 1099 provision — the requirement that requires businesses to file zillions of new Internal Revenue Service forms — is extremely burdensome. But when Republicans tried to kill the provision last year, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made sure that it didn’t happen.

Now, after voters gave the GOP control of the House and a stronger voice in the Senate, things are different. Democrats are talking openly about changing Obamacare — just as long as the changes stop short of full repeal.

“Let us modify the healthcare law in a bipartisan way,” House Assistant Minority Leader James Clyburn told Fox News on Jan. 17.

“But this whole stuff of repeal and throwing it out and starting all over — that’s not going to happen.”

Obamacare is filled with vulnerable provisions. In addition to the 1099, there’s the individual mandate (which is also being challenged in court), cuts to Medicare and the long-term-care measure called the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports

Act, better known as the CLASS Act. During the Senate’s Obamacare debate in December 2009, some Democrats voiced reservations about each of those provisions.

“Just look at the ones who made noise during the original debate,” says a well-connected GOP Senate source. “Claire McCaskill, Ben Nelson, Kent Conrad — Conrad called the CLASS Act a Ponzi scheme, but he voted for the whole bill that included it. How would he vote on a separate bill to repeal it?”

We’ll probably find out. In the next year and a half, Senate Democrats, including some who are facing tough re-election fights in 2012, could have a chance to vote again on the most troublesome parts of Obamacare.

With 47 Republican senators, the GOP would need just four Democrats to reach majority support for repealing significant chunks of the healthcare law.

If that happens, Senate Democrats, who at this moment are railing against Republican filibusters, would have to resort to — you guessed it — a filibuster to stop repeal of any part of Obamacare. Even if they do, Republicans believe they might muster 60 votes to win the day. And if key parts of Obamacare fall, it’s not clear whether the whole structure can remain standing.

As those fights go on, House Republicans, with some Democratic help, will pass new measures to address the healthcare problem piece by piece. Some will be attractive to Senate Democrats facing re-election. “A lot of them come from states that are sympathetic to the message we heard last Nov. 2,” says Dreier. “So in light of that, we’re not going to give up on this.”

Mexican director honored by ‘Biutiful’ Oscar nod

By E. EDUARDO CASTILLO Associated Press

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu said Tuesday he is honored by the best foreign film nomination for “Biutiful,” an Oscar category Mexico has yet to win despite seven earlier nominations.

Gonzalez Inarritu also said he is excited that Spanish actor Javier Bardem was nominated for best actor in the film’s lead role.

“I am very happy for myself, very happy for the movie, very happy for Javier, very happy for all the people who worked in this film,” he told The Associated Press. “And I am very honored for the Academy’s recognition. The fact that was our colleagues who voted makes it very special.”

The Mexican film academy recently chose “Biutiful” to represent the country, and Monday’s nomination by the Academy of

Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was Gonzalez Inarritu’s second in the category after his 2000 film “Amores Perros.”

Films from Greece, Algeria, Canada and Denmark were also nominated.

Gonzalez Inarritu said he would watch the other foreign films in the next few weeks and would attend next month’s awards ceremony in Los Angeles.

“We will celebrate whether we win or lose,” he said. “The nomination itself is a great award.

After spending four years fighting for this movie ... this is a smile on the lips. We feel rewarded with the recognition, a beautiful love letter.”

“Biutiful” deals with the lives of immigrants in Barcelona and tells the story of a father, played

by Bardem, who knows he’s dying and discovers the meaning of life and love.

Bardem also thanked the Academy for the selection and also expressed gratitude for those who have supported the film.

“I am very happy for Alejandro and everyone who has made

possible the special movie we made together,” he said in a statement. “It’s really a huge honor to have been nominated in a non-English speaking performance.”

Bardem won the best actor Oscar in 2008 for his role in the English-language “No Country for Old Men.” He was also nominated in 2001 for “Before Night Falls.”

Gonzalez Inarritu said he had been confident Bardem would receive an Oscar nomination this year, even though the actor was passed over earlier by the Golden Globes.

Besides “Biutiful” and “Amores Perros,” Mexico’s other entries in the best foreign film category were “Macario” (1960), “Animas Trujano” (1961), “Tlayucan” (1962), “Acts of Marusia” (1975), “The Crime of Father Amaro” (2002) and “Pan’s Labyrinth” (2006).

Gonzalez Inarritu’s “Babel,” which was not eligible for a foreign-language film nomination, received seven Oscar nominations in 2007, including best picture and best director.

“REMEMBERING GRANDMA”

There was always such love in my grandma’s eyes, such caring in her touch.

To everyone she was so kind, from her I’ve learned so much.

She did everything with love for our whole family.

She was a great example of how everyone should be.

I hope that when she looked at me, a part of her she’d always see.

A more special person there will never be than my grandma was to me.

Now she’s with the angels and grandpa, her true love.

I know they are together and watching from above.

Oh, how we will miss you, until we’re all together again.

You’ll forever live in our hearts and memories until then.

Love always, Wendy

Proposal would end gun-free zones LANSING (AP) — A Michigan lawmaker introduced a proposal Tuesday that would lift restrictions on where residents with the proper licenses could carry concealed weapons.

The legislation sponsored by Sen. Mike Green, a Republican from Mayville, would repeal so-called “no carry” or “gun-free” public zones.

Those include sports stadiums, schools, university dorms and classrooms, day care centers, churches, hospitals and casinos.

Similar proposals in recent years have not gained much momentum in the Michigan Legislature.

But sponsors are taking another crack because more than half of the members of the House and Senate are new to their current seats this year, and Republicans control both chambers.

Green was a key sponsor of laws approved in 2000 that made it easier to get a weapons permit in Michigan.

Green said gun-free zones were includ-

ed in the original legislation to help ensure its passage, but experience has shown they are not needed.

“We are constitutionally able to defend ourselves when we need it, yet we lose our constitutional right when we walk into the door of a gun-free zone,” Green said.

Green’s bills also would get rid of local gun licensing boards.

The Secretary of State’s office would take over permits for concealed weapons.

State law related to who could get con-

cealed weapons permits would not change under Green’s proposal.

Permits should be issued if applicants are at least 21 and haven’t been convicted of a felony or selected misdemeanors.

Permits can be denied in cases where applicants have a history of mental illness.

More than 250,000 people in Michigan have concealed weapons permits.

First lady says youth need more mentors WASHINGTON (AP) — The first lady created her White House mentoring program for girls first, then the president followed with his for boys.

Now Michelle Obama says if she and President Barack Obama can mentor young people, corporate America can too.

She announced a Corporate Mentoring Challenge Tuesday at a National Mentoring Summit in Washington.

“If the president and the first lady can mentor, shoot, everybody has got a little time,” she said.

Michelle Obama said mentored youth are more likely to graduate and shun drugs and violence. She launched her mentoring program in 2009, and the president followed with his yearlong effort.

“Once I did it, then he had to have his mentoring project,” she joked, earning laughs. “But that’s good. We’re encouraging all Americans.”

Plavix wins patent extension WASHINGTON (AP) — The makers of Plavix, the world’s second best-selling medication, said Tuesday they will retain exclusive U.S. marketing rights to the blood thinner for an additional six months, under a decision by U.S. health regulators.

The marketing extension will help Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and partner Sanofi-Aventis delay the financial crunch hitting nearly all drugmakers, as patents on a wave of blockbuster drugs from the 1990s begin to expire.

The companies announced that the Food and Drug Administration granted a six-month patent extension for Plavix after the companies conducted extra

The FDA program is designed to reward companies for testing drugs in children, who are typically excluded from medical studies.

With the extension, the companies will be able to market the drug exclusively until May 17, 2012.

Plavix posted $9.1 billion in sales globally in 2009, according to health care data firm IMS Health.

Only Pfizer’s Lipitor had higher sales, at $13.3 billion. In the U.S., Plavix generated $5.6 billion.

The company sells the schizophrenia drug Abilify, blood pressure medication Avapro and the HIV treatment Sustiva, which will all lose patent protection over the next five years.

French drugmaker Sanofi is already weathering its own revenue decline, after the FDA unexpectedly approved a generic version of its drug Lovenox, an injectable medication for preventing life-threatening blood clots.

Drug companies can continue selling their drugs off-patent, but sales are often completely wiped out by lower-cost versions of the same treatments marketed by generic drugmakers.

Bristol-Myers studied Plavix in more than 900 infants born with a rare heart defect to see if the drug would reduce dangerous clotting.

The study failed to show any benefit.

Drug companies routinely conduct such tests, even when success is not expected, to receive the six-month patent extension.

Copper mine expansion seen TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — The union representing Asarco copper miners says soaring metals prices on the world market will likely lead to expansion of two southern Arizona mines.

A United Steelworkers Union official told the energy and mining trade publication Platts the two mostly likely mines to see expanded operations are the Ray Mines in Pinal County and the Mission Mine south of Tucson on the Tohono O’odham

Put Your Financial "Puzzle" Pieces Together Unless you keep track of obscure holidays, you may not be aware that Jan. 29 is National Puzzle Day. And while this day may not draw much attention, it does recognize the enjoyment that millions of people get from doing puzzles. Of course, you’ll find puzzles in all aspects of your life.

Consider, for example, the type of retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned: travel, volunteering, pursuing hobbies or perhaps even opening your own business. To make this picture come to life, you need to put the financial “pieces” together: And one way to help accomplish this is to consolidate your various retirement accounts — such as your IRA, 401(k) and other employer-sponsored retirement plans — with one financial services provider.

When you consolidate these types of accounts, you can gain a number of key benefits, including these: * Potential reduction of fees and paperwork — By working with just one provider, you may be able to save on the fees and paperwork required to maintain your account. * Easier management of distributions — Most retirement plans, including a 401(k), 457(b), 403(b) and traditional IRA, require you to start taking minimum distributions once you turn 701⁄2. (These distributions are not required for Roth IRAs.) While it may not be difficult to determine a single distribution, it can be cumbersome and confusing to calculate multiple distributions from multiple providers. Having all your required minimum distributions (RMDs) coming from a single provider can greatly streamline the process. * Easier calculation of taxes — Most types of retirement accounts are tax-deferred — but on those accounts, taxes will be due on your withdrawals. By consolidating your accounts, your distributions will be easier to track, as mentioned above, which may make it easier for you to calculate the taxes due. * Unified investment strategy — If you place all your

cliffs in the pharmaceutical industry, as four of its top five sellers lose patent protection between now and 2015.

financial assets with one financial services provider, you’ll find it much easier to follow a single, unified investment strategy. A qualified financial advisor can help you allocate your investment dollars in a way that’s appropriate for your retirement goals, risk tolerance and time horizon.

To start the consolidation process, make a detailed list of your financial assets, such as your bank accounts, investments, IRAs and employer-sponsored retirement plans, such as a 401(k) if you work for a private employer, a 457(b) if you work for a state or local government, or a 403(b) if you work for a school or other tax-exempt organization. You might think this is a simple and straightforward task, but you would be surprised at how many people actually lose track of these types of accounts and, as a result, forfeit the money that is rightfully theirs.

After you’ve identified what assets you have, and where they’re located, seek to consolidate them with a financial services provider. Try to find one that offers face-to-face service and regular reviews of your situation.

As you can see, by consolidating your various investment accounts, you can help solve the “puzzle” of creating the retirement you seek. So when the time comes, start putting all the pieces together. You might like the picture that ultimately emerges.

Music website buys Paste Magazine ATLANTA (AP) — The company that boasts of owning the world’s largest collection of live music has bought Georgia-based Paste Magazine.

Paste announced Tuesday that Wolfgang’s Vault had acquired the magazine, which reverted to a solely online publication last year after struggling financially. In 2009, Paste made headlines by asking subscribers to donate money to help keep the magazine afloat.

Wolfgang’s Vault also owns websites Daytrotter, which focuses on new and emerging artists, and Crawdaddy! The Magazine of Rock.

Wolfgang’s Vault CEO Bill Sagan called Paste “a wonderful complement to our broad array of music content.”

Paste editor-in-chief Josh Jackson said the sale brings financial stability for the magazine. He will continue to run the website’s content.

Report says Keystone XL means higher oil prices KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A report from TransCanada Corp. says the oil company’s proposed Keystone XL pipeline, which would move oil from Canada through several U.S. states, will increase the price of U.S. oil.

The 2008 report prepared for Calgary-based TransCanada said existing markets for Canadian crude are oversupplied, especially in the Midwest. That oversupply has led to lower oil prices.

The report said if Keystone XL begins transporting crude to the Gulf Coast in 2013, the Midwest supply will be limited and TransCanada will boost oil prices by $3 a barrel.

The National Wildlife Federation said the price hike could mean gas prices increases of at least 7 cents a gallon.

TransCanada said Canadian crude was still “the cheapest crude oil available to Americans by volumes.”

OSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) — Oshkosh Corp. has delivered the first truck in a $3 billion military contract.

The Wisconsin National Guard has the first of more than 18,000 tactical vehicles that the company plans to build. The majority of the trucks will go to National Guard units for use at home and overseas.

The Oshkosh manufacturer has expanded its facilities in Wisconsin and Michigan to handle the work.

Several thousand employees will build nearly 40 trucks a day. The contract includes a series of 17 vehicles, ranging from 2-ton to 10ton payloads.

The inaugural truck was delivered to the 1157th Transportation Company in Oshkosh.

Governor to welcome Obama with gift MANITOWOC, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker has a present for the president.

Walker said he’ll welcome Barack Obama to Wisconsin today, when the president plans to visit a renewable-energy company in Manitowoc. The Republican governor plans to present Obama with a “special gift.”

Walker spokesman Cullen Werwie wouldn’t reveal what the gift is.

He said he didn’t want to spoil his boss’s secret.

It’s possible the gift has to do with the Packers. Obama, an Illinois native, had predicted his Chicago Bears would beat Green Bay in the NFC Championship game.

Obama will be visiting Orion Energy Systems. The company makes high-efficiency lighting and renewable solar technology for businesses.

Senate approves break for relocating business MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin state Senate has approved a tax break for businesses that relocate to Wisconsin.

The break would essentially forgive state corporate and personal income taxes on companies that relocate to Wisconsin from elsewhere for two years. Only companies that haven’t been in Wisconsin for the past two years could qualify.

Democrats said the bill passed Tuesday was so small it was insignificant. The break is projected to cost $1 million over two years.

It passed 24-9 with five Democrats joining 19 Republicans in support.

Snyder appoints more to university board LANSING (AP) — Gov. Rick Snyder is making appointments for governing boards at three Michigan universities.

The Republican governor said in a statement Tuesday that Dana Debel of Ann Arbor and Ken Miller of Kalamazoo are appointed to the Western Michigan University governing board.

Debel is a state government affairs director with Delta Air Lines while Miller is with an investment management firm.

Meijer Inc. board member Paul Boyer of Grand Rapids and construction company executive Gary Granger of Lansing will serve on the Ferris State University board.

Joining the Michigan Technological University board will be General Motors executive Terry Woychowski of Commerce Township and Visteon executive Julie Fream of Dearborn.

Board members from all three schools are appointed to eight-year terms and are subject to the consent of the state Senate.

Officials add to logjam blocking Swan Creek THOMAS TOWNSHIP (AP) — Tom Kochendorfer isn’t sure if it’s a beaver dam or a logjam, but his frustration is piling up along with a mound of tree trunks and branches blocking most of Swan Creek near his Saginaw-area home.

“I started making calls six months ago to various agencies to see if anyone would even just take a look at it to determine whether the pile needs to be cleaned up or left alone, and you really can’t get an answer from anybody,” said Kochendorfer, 71, who lives about 100 yards from the pile.

The mound of wood is in Swan Creek just north of the Geddes Road bridge over the stream.

Kochendorfer said he noticed branches piling up in the water in 2009 and watched the pile as it grew bigger.

He’s not aware of the obstruction causing any flooding of homes, many of which are hundreds of yards from the stream.

Kochendorfer, however, believes the blockage has made spring flooding worse, creating standing pools of water that serve as breeding grounds for mosquitoes.

“Last year was the worst year we had with mosquitoes in a long time,” he said.

Saginaw County Public Works Commissioner James A. Koski said he can remove debris — or beavers — from a stream that is an established county drain.

Swan Creek isn’t an established county drain south of Frost Road, where the wood pile is in the stream.

“I can only spend money where I have jurisdiction,” Koski said. “If there are

beavers in an established county drain causing problems, I can get rid of ’em.”

Kochendorfer said he hasn’t seen beavers near the wood pile in Swan Creek, but there is some evidence of their activity.

The trunk of a small tree has been gnawed from all sides and is ready to fall, with fresh wood shavings on the ground nearby.

Koski said beavers will plug creeks and culverts with tree parts.

Wright disciple Tafel dies NEW YORK (AP) — Edgar Tafel has died at the age of 98.

The New York City architect was trained under Frank Lloyd Wright.

A longtime friend, structural engineer Robert Silman, says Tafel was the last surviving member of the original Taliesin Fellowship. The apprentices were trained at Wright’s home and school in Spring Green, Wis., beginning in 1932.

Tafel designed the Church House for the First Presbyterian Church, in New York’s Greenwich Village.

He also helped save two interiors from Wright’s Francis W. Little House in Wayzata, Minn., before it was demolished in 1971.

The living room is installed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The library is in the Allentown (Pa.) Art Museum.

Tafel died Jan. 18 at his Manhattan home.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Officials are ruling the fire that destroyed a suburban Milwaukee farmhouse where a farmer’s body was found, an accident.

The body of farmer Gerald Mahr, 76, was found in the home.

The Milwaukee County medical examiner’s office said heart disease was the cause of death.

Franklin Police Chief Rick Oliva said the state fire marshal could not determine the cause of Sunday’s fire, but there was no evidence to suggest it was set.

Mahr’s home was in a prime development area, and he had fought to keep the home in which he was raised.

Packers tie costs Illinois man his job OAK LAWN, Ill. (AP) — A Chicago man has been fired for refusing to remove the Green Bay Packers tie he wore to work the day after the Packers beat the Chicago Bears.

John Stone was working as a car salesman at Webb Chevrolet in the Chicago suburb of Oak Lawn.

He says he wore the Packers tie Monday to honor his late grandmother, who was a big Green Bay fan.

But that kind of sentimentality didn’t impress his boss, Jerry Roberts.

Roberts says the dealership has done promotions involving the Bears and he was afraid the tie could alienate the team’s fans and make it harder to sell cars.

Roberts adds that Stone was offered five chances to take off the tie and refused to do it.

Senators make tasty wager on Super Bowl MILWAUKEE (AP) — Two U.S. senators from Wisconsin and Pennsylvania have made a tasty bet on the Super Bowl.

Republican Sens. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania have wagered a sampling of their state’s signature foods.

If the Green Bay Packers win, Toomey will send Johnson a delivery of Pittsburgh’s Primanti Bros. sandwiches, topped with French fries, coleslaw and tomatoes.

If the Pittsburgh Steelers win, Johnson will pay up with an assortment of Wisconsin bratwurst, cheese and beer.

Johnson says that as a fiscal conservative he considered regifting the Chicago-style pizza and beer he won from Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk when the Packers beat the Chicago Bears.

But he says that wouldn’t highlight Wisconsin’s fine products.

Toomey says the Pittsburgh sandwiches taste just as good as the upcoming Steelers victory.

Michigan businessman charged in film studio funding scheme LANSING (AP) — A Grand Rapids businessman faces felony charges alleging that he tried to fraudulently obtain a $10 million Michigan film tax credit.

John C. Buchanan, Jr., 48, is charged with one count of conspiracy to commit false pretenses and one count of attempted felony false pretenses. If convicted on both charges, Buchanan could face up to 10 years in prison.

He’s the second person charged in connection with the so-called Hangar 42 film studio. Joseph Peters of Ada, Mich., was charged in August with fraudulently seeking a state tax credit by falsely claiming his company bought a building for $40 million for a planned studio.

Prosecutors say Buchanan directed the scheme by orchestrating an inflated property appraisal and oversaw the drafting of a phony land contract documenting the sale.

Panthers stop Speedboys, clinch share of PMC

By JASON JUNO sports@yourdailyglobe.com

Jason Juno/Daily Globe

Ewen-Trout Creek’s Dillon Gordon (24) powers a shot over Bessemer’s Taylor Smith, right, during Tuesday’s Porcupine Mountain Conference game at the House of Noise in Bessemer.

BESSEMER — Ewen-Trout Creek rallied from a halftime deficit to beat Bessemer 71-56 and clinch at least a share of the Porcupine Mountain Conference title Tuesday night.

Bessemer sophomore Taylor Smith scored a game-high 36 points, but E-TC, ranked fifth in the U.P. in Class D, outscored the Speedboys 37-18 in the second half to erase a 38-34 halftime deficit.

The Speedboys made E-TC work for the title.

“Got to love coming into Bessemer, Mrs. (Mary Jo) Mykkanen’s got the pep band rocking the place to start the game, it’s a great atmosphere, great high school atmosphere,” said E-TC coach Brad Besonen, a band teacher himself. “Anytime you can come out of here with a hard-fought PMC win, it’s a good feeling.”

Smith dominated the first half with 26 of Bessemer’s 38 points.

“For teams that play man, I think at times, he can present a matchup problem,” Bessemer coach Mark Movrich said. “He’s fairly quick and yet he’s got good size.”

Besonen said Bessemer matches up well with the Panthers.

“Tonight, Smith was just a monster,” Besonen said. “Nick Hearns did a great job on him in the second half of competing for rebounds where we weren’t really in the first half.”

Smith was a force on the glass in the first half. He stole the ball and ended the first half with a fast break layup to put Bessemer up four at the break.

The Panthers held him to a more-human 10 points in the second half as the Speedboys struggled to score. Some of their shots were forced and they had turnover issues, both a result of E-TC’s pressure defense.

“Despite the fact he scored 36, I don’t think we looked at him enough,” Movrich said. “I’m not saying we were being selfish, but I don’t think we really understood what it took to win.”

The Speedboys haven’t played these big games lately. A win for them would have meant a likely share of a PMC title.

“The kids really wanted it tonight, they really did,” Movrich said. “You could really see the disappointment on some of the players in the locker room after the game. And that’s good, it meant something to them and it should. Hopefully they all felt a little disappointment and a little sting. They had a chance to do something that hasn’t been done around here in a long time.

“We haven’t had many games around here mean something for the last couple years. It’s a good sign. It’s at least nice to be in a position to have a game to play for.”

The lead still went back and forth in the third quarter. E-TC’s Dillon Gordon made a 3 to put the Panthers in front 48-46, a lead they never gave back.

A 6-2 run after that to end the quarter put E-TC up 54-48 heading into the fourth.

Gordon made a another 3, then a steal and fast break layup to put the Panthers up 59-48, their biggest lead of the game.

Smith came back with six (See PMC — Page 10)

Castle Guards down Midgets; Gremlins spook Gladiators WASHBURN, Wis. — Tyler Schick led Washburn with 17 points as the Castle Guards defeated Hurley 62-44 in Indianhead Conference play Tuesday evening.

Boys basketball Hurley trailed 29-24 at half and coach Gary Giancola had high hopes for the second half of a conference road win.

“We were playing pretty well and had it within four or five in the fourth quarter, but then we’d allow them second and third chances inside and it got away from us,” said Giancola.

Free throw shooting hurt the Midgets all night, hitting just 7 of 20.

“Its been our Achilles heel all year,” said Giancola. “We were 0 for 6 in the third quarter from the line.”

Giancola said the Castle Guards outworked a rugged Midget team. “We’re not very quick, so we can’t give up those second and third chances.

Schick did a great job with his dribble penetration for them.”

Giancola said the Midgets won’t win many games scoring 44 points, and hopes to keep other teams under 62. “We’re hoping for games in the 50s. We’re struggling right now, our kids need to relax,” said Giancola.

Hurley (5-6, 4-5) travels to Chequamegon High in Park Falls, Wis., Thursday and hosts Iron County rival Mercer Friday.

“We’re still young, but we’re getting better,” said Mercer coach Tom Richards of the 0-12 Tigers. “We were right with them in the first quarter, down 1210, when we should have been ahead 18-12. But we had missed a couple layups.”

South Shore’s pressure defense took a toll on the Tigers in the second quarter.

“We went to sleep in the second,” said Richards.

“They pressed us and we turned the ball over.

When they fouled us, we went to the line and missed free throws.”

The Cardinals outscored the Tigers 26-7 in the second quarter to lead 38-17 at half.

“We had strong first and fourth quarters tonight, but 26 turnonvers really hurt,” said Richards.

Alex Pearson led the Cardinals with 20 points.

Raji’s score sends Pack to Texas; rush TD next?

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Watching B.J. Raji rumble into the end zone in real time, Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy was as fired up as any Packers fan.

When McCarthy had the chance to watch the key play from Sunday’s NFC Championship game victory over the Chicago Bears again on film, he managed to find a few teachable moments.

First off, it’s safe to say Raji should tuck the ball away until he’s safely in the end zone next time.

And what on Earth was that hip-shaking celebratory dance all about?

“He got two minuses on the play — one for holding the ball out, and one for the dance,” McCarthy joked.

Risky ballhandling skills aside, Raji’s pivotal play slowed a frantic fourth-quarter comeback attempt by the Bears and third-string quarterback Caleb Hanie.

Raji’s rambling 18-yard return turned out to be the winning score, setting the Packers up to play the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl on Feb. 6 at

Cowboys Stadium.

“It really kind of happened so quickly that once the game ended, I felt like I was living the dream,” Raji said. “Everything slowed down for me. I go in the locker room, and the postgame, the stage is set up. So I’m like, ’Man, this is really happening.’ I’m turning around and people are handing out the NFC Championship hats and T-shirts. I’m like, ’Man, this is coming true.’ It’s just a blessing.”

And it was another big step in what has been an impressive second NFL season for Raji.

While the former Boston College standout isn’t nearly as well-known as fellow 2009 first-round Packers draft pick Clay Matthews, he has been critical to the success of the Packers defense this season.

Given the Packers’ lack of defensive line depth, Raji doesn’t leave the field very often. And despite the heavy work load, Raji seems to be getting better as the season goes on.

Now there’s no telling what’s next for the Packers’ big man, although he does have an idea.

Would you believe ... a 337-pound running back?

Raji already has taken a handful of snaps as a Green Bay fullback, and is subtly lobbying for a chance to carry the ball.

“I’m more worried about winning,” Raji said. “If Coach feels he’s giving me the ball to win, I’m very ecstatic about that. If Coach feels he needs me to block so he can run play action stuff or run the ball, I’m fine with that as well. As long as we win, I’m happy.”

Already, Raji’s limited exploits on offense have earned him a nickname: “The Freezer,” a tip of the hat to former Chicago Bears player William “The Refrigerator” Perry.

“I was miked up for the Atlanta game, and one of the trainers came to me and said, ’You look like The Fridge out there,”’ Raji said. “And I was just playing around, ’I’m the Freezer.’ I was making a joke, just making light of the situation and having a good time with it. So I guess, in retrospect, I came up with the name.”

Your Community Second To None DAILY GLOBE’S 2011 PROGRESS EDITIONS

PMC (Continued from Page 9) straight points by himself to pull Bessemer within 59-54 and the teams traded baskets to keep the five-point margin.

E-TC’s Jordan LaPlant hit a baseline jumper to pull ahead by seven and E-TC outscored Bessemer 8-2 in the final 1:15 to thwart any comeback attempt.

LaPlant battled foul trouble all night and picked up his fourth foul in the third quarter.

“He fought through that,” Besonen said. “We really got hurt on the glass, especially when he was out in the first half because is so much a part of our rebounding. He played very well with foul trouble in the second half, he had a monster offensive game for us.”

Four finished in double figures for the Panthers as Gordon had 15, Borseth 11 and Christian Taylor had 10.

“I thought our bench was outstanding in the second half, Logan Maki and Nick Hearns,” Besonen said. “They had a lot to do with us getting separation in the fourth quarter because our guys had fresher legs than some of those Bessemer kids.”

Bessemer has led at halftime in all four losses this season.

“Only scoring 18 points in the entire second half hurt,” Movrich said. “Ewen has a lot to do with that, they keep coming at you defensively, they put a lot of pressure on you. All in all, I don’t think we did a good enough job taking care of the ball. They’re too good for us to turn it over and give them easy buckets. I’d at least like to have go against our set defense.

“Well-played game. I thought both teams played hard.”

It’s the fifth PMC title in a row for the Panthers.

Watersmeet won the conference

in 2004-05 and 2005-06 with the Panthers winning from 19992000 through 2003-04. Bessemer last won the PMC in 1998-99, the last of three straight titles.

E-TC won its 24th straight conference game on the site of its last loss, a Jan. 23, 2007, defeat at the hands of Bessemer.

Bessemer (7-4, 3-2) hosts West Iron County on Friday while E-TC (8-2, 4-0) hosts L’Anse on Friday.

race series, the weekend's event was also used by junior skiers pursuing a spot on the regional Junior Olympic squads.

Gogebic's Ben Noren and Leif Gilsvik are both competing for these slots. In the Junior Olympic division, Noren placed an impressive 11th on Saturday and 15th on Sunday, and Gilsvik finished a strong 20th on Saturday and 27th on Sunday.

"Skiing against the best college teams in the country, including national championship teams like Northern Michigan University and other top-rated teams from across the Midwest and even Alaska gives our young skiers great exposure and experience at the next level,” GogeSubmitted photo bic coach Will Andresen said.

Minneapolis.

ANN ARBOR (AP) — John Beilein’s young Michigan team was expected to struggle on offense.

Now, the Wolverines are enduring some growing pains on defense, too.

“There’s a maturation that you go through to understanding how to play defense,” Beilein said. “We are not there yet. We get better every day, but so does the competition.”

Beilein is in his fourth season as Michigan’s coach, but the Wolverines are rebuilding with three freshmen and a sophomore in the starting lineup. They’ve beaten Clemson and lost close games against Syracuse, Kansas and Ohio State, but Michigan is on a six-game losing streak heading into Thursday night’s matchup at No. 25 Michigan State.

Beilein runs a free-flowing offense with lots of ball movement. Young players can expect an adjustment period, and in Big Ten play, Michigan is scoring a league-worst 61.7 points per game.

But that stat isn’t as bad as it looks — the Wolverines seldom try to push the ball up the court.

What should concern Beilein more is the fact that even at a slower pace, conference opponents are averaging 72.3 points against his team.

Whether the problem is size, athleticism or a simple lack of focus by inexperienced players, the Wolverines aren’t defending well enough.

“If one person, either by accident or by distraction, is not in the proper place, you’re not as strong,” Beilein said. “It just takes one.”

Physical and Behavioral Signs and Symptoms of Substance Abuse Checklist

How to Identify the Signs and Symptoms of Substance Abuse Because a person doesn't have to drink or use drugs every day to have a problem, it's often difficult to recognize signs and symptoms of substance abuse. This checklist of common substance abuse signs can help you determine if a friend or family member is having a problem and if an intervention for rehab is needed. You may find it useful to share these signs of substance abuse with your congregation in your church bulletins and newsletters.

Please remember that if a person shows any of the following signs or symptoms it does not necessarily mean that they have a substance abuse problem.

The presence of some of these symptoms could relate to stress, depression or other problems.

What Are Drugs?

There are several categories of drugs that are commonly abused:

Drugs are natural and synthetic chemical substances which can be used to affect: • Your body and its processes • Your mind and nervous system • Your behavior and feelings

1. Alcohol

Used properly to treat a medical problem, drugs can: • correct imbalances in body chemistry • protect against disease • relieve tension, fatigue, pain But when drugs are abused they can cause: • health problems Every year, thousands of people are treated in hospitals for drug-related accidents and mental and physical illness. More than 25, 000 die every year.

• legal problems About 2 million people are arrested each year for alcohol and drug-related offenses.

• financial hardships From $15 a week for cigarettes to $100 a day for heroin, drug abuse can be an expensive habit.

• social difficulties Instead of trying to work out their problems, some people try to run from their problems by using drugs. This usually makes the problem worse, and creates new ones.

Wakefield Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center

Why Some People Turn To Drugs There are many different factors. Some reasons include: • See what its like • Feel like part of the crowd • Try to escape feelings of loneliness

from other companies at a substantially lower price. None of the companies is backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. A water filter with some simple natural additions to the water will provide the same benefits at a more potent level for far less money.

Kangen water is alkaline, ionized water.

The unit contains a filter and ionizing chamber similar to all others. The quality of Kangen or alkaline water is measured by how acidic or alkaline water becomes (pH) and by how much ionization occurs.

There is much debate over whether ionized water provides genuine health benefits.

Enagic distributes water ionizers via network marketing, meaning that people who use the product can receive commissions and generate income.

There are some reports detailing the benefits for intestinal and digestive issues, but some Enagic distributors claim sensational results.

Have your water tested by a reputable firm. Determine whether it is potable.

Visit your family physician for a complete examination and for laboratory testing to determine whether you are at risk for diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, anemia, thyroid disorders or other health concerns.

Your 40-pound weight loss and elimination of both medications (perhaps through a program of exercise) speak well in terms of you taking care of your body. You are certainly doing something right, and if you believe a Kangen water ionizer has played a role, then stay the course. There’s no sense in rocking the boat.

Health benefits of water ionizers?

By Peter H. Gott, M.D. DEAR DR. GOTT: Please do some research on a company named Enagic.

They are the premier manufacturer of Kangen water ionizers. I have been using this water for three years, lost 40 pounds, run faster and longer than I did at age 25, got off Plavix and simvastatin, and am now trying to reduce my diabetic numbers.

I think the fact that I can drink way more water is an important thing, but the antioxidant value and the higher alkaline helps the body undo many health issues associated with acidosis. I am not a quack. I was CEO of a financial institution for 27 years, and nowhere in this career did anyone mention how important alkaline is. So far, my weight loss and the 10 miles of running I do have not produced many results. I’m looking at a genetic test to see what might work for my genetic makeup. Your comments?

DEAR READER: I don’t in any way doubt your intelligence regarding water, nor would I have a negative statement for the CEO of a financial institution or anyone else, for that matter. However, you asked me to do some research, so I did.

According to Multi Level Marketing, an Enagic water ionizer costs about $4,000.

A comparable unit can be purchased

Your Horoscope Your Birthday Wednesday, January 26, 2011

BERNICE BEDE OSOL

Because you’ll be far more enterprising and fearless than usual, the next year is likely to be an exciting one. Even though your efforts will bear fruit, don’t let impulsive boldness exceed your common sense.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If your way of doing something conflicts with that of a co-worker’s, both parties must be prepared to make some adjustments. Problems will result if you are unyielding or too stubborn.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Keep your opinions to yourself regarding problems or decisions that don’t directly involve you, even if it does affect a friend who won’t fight back. You could make things worse.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Someone who is jealous of you, but who doesn’t operate openly, might attempt to put some obstacles on your path. However, because you’re up to his/her shenanigans, they won’t affect you.

Son’s bad choices ever-worrisome Dear Annie: Our son, “Colin,” is 19 years old and a sophomore in college. He was always helpful and a good student. Last spring, Colin became rude and condescending. We found out he was living with a 33-year-old man who is infected with HIV. This man was controlling and used sexual blackmail to keep Colin in line. We finally got our son back home, but it was a long, difficult summer.

When Colin announced that he was gay, my husband and I sought advice from several clergy. Most of them said to turn our backs on him until he asked for our forgiveness for living sinfully. We decided instead to take the advice of our priest, who said to accept his orientation, hard as that has been.

All we’ve asked of Colin is that he do well in school, get a job to help pay off the legal bills that resulted from extricating him from his previous relationship and not be sexually promiscuous.

Colin contracted various STDs and should avoid sexual contact anyway. Our requests seemed reasonable to us.

Unfortunately, when Colin returned to school, he became sexually involved with at least two different men and even asked to bring one home for the holidays.

Of course, we said no.

We could live with his orientation if he would live a moral lifestyle. So far, he has not tested positive for HIV, although that is still a worry. We have told him we will not pay any more medical bills, since we can’t afford it. From the horrible way he treats us, I regret that we were so kind to him over the summer. Counseling didn’t help him see the error of his ways. He is a bad influence on his little sister. How should we handle this? — Heartbroken Parents Dear Parents: We know Colin’s sexuality is disturbing to

Unfortunately, some also are promiscuous, drink too much, do drugs, engage in risky behaviors and otherwise behave like wild animals let loose. Most kids settle down eventually, and the hope is that they don’t do any permanent damage in the interim. Please contact PFLAG (pflag.org) for some emotional support and practical suggestions.

Dear Annie: I have been caring for my disabled husband while working full time and raising two children. I haven’t had time alone in 15 years.

Now my children are grown, and they want to give me a minivacation as a gift. They offered to stay with Dad while I go away for a four-day weekend. My husband is upset and says if I truly cared for him, I would not want to get away. He is doing his best to make me feel guilty. Is he being selfish, or am I? — Need a Break Dear Need: Your husband has become completely dependent on you and fears your absence. All caregivers need to recharge their batteries. Reassure your husband that you love him, that you will come back refreshed, and that the kids will do a wonderful job taking care of him. Then have a great time.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Loving and Missing all at

the Same Time,” whose daughter is an inconsiderate slob. When my kids were in high school, I got tired of their stuff scattered all over the house. I said if I found anything lying around when I got up in the morning, I would wake them to put it away. The rub was, I wouldn’t tell them what or where it was. Sometimes, by the time they found it, they were wide awake and irritated.

My daughter was a slow learner. Many days, she would come home and her clothes would be scattered in the front yard. Fortunately, we had understanding neighbors. — Omaha, Neb.
