The lights went out around 2:30 p.m. and residents along McLeod Avenue didn’t have electricity until 6:26 p.m., although services were restored earlier than that in other parts of the city. Some residences didn’t get power until 7:30 p.m., however. A spokesman from Xcel Energy’s Eau Claire office said Thursday evening that the power outage affected 1,852 customers. There were reports the outage extended to the Bergland area, but Hurley and Kimball had power, while Ironwood was out. The Ironwood Public Safety Department responded to 3:30 p.m. Thursday report of a fire in a substation building across from the Xcel Energy offices on Douglas Boulevard. The fire may have been related to the outage. IPSD director Andrew DiGiorgio said the fire was out by the time most firefighters arrived. He said it was a small fire that had the smell of an electrical nature. He said the power outage didn’t affect all area communities because there are three service lines of power on the Gogebic Range. While commerce carried on as usual in downtown Hurley, downtown Ironwood businesses were dark during the four-hour outage, but electricity was restored earlier along Cloverland Drive. The public safety department and Grand View Hospital were operating on emergency genera- tors, as was the Michigan State Police Post in Wakefield. State police planned to pick up some patrol cars that had been in for service at the Lahti Chevrolet garage in downtown Ironwood from Frank Lahti, but that plan was postponed because the electric garage doors were out of commission, just one example of hardships created by the outage. Luckily, the temperature had warmed up a bit, to around 40 by the afternoon, and the north wind had slacked off. Watersmeet did not experience an outage, according to town officials. “It could have been worse,” said Gogebic County Sheriff’s Department dispatcher Deb Elsemored. She said the downtown Ironwood area was the last Gogebic Range location to have power restored.

Economic Development Alliance seeks employment data Data is being collected through the start of November for the Upper Peninsula Community and Economic County Profile project for the Upper Peninsula Economic Development Alliance, funded by Northern Michigan University, Donna Scorse, economic developer, said. Scorse is seeking figures of full-time employees of major employers as of Dec. 31, 2012, in Gogebic and Ontonagon counties. “There is no minimum or maximum number of employees a business needs to employ to qualify as a major employer,” Scorse said. “We’d like to seek full cooperation from area employers,” said Scorse. “The data is so important to the area, especially for those interested in developing new businesses, or developing employee retraining programs, as well as attracting employees.” Other uses for data include identification of challenges at the community, county and regional levels, Scorse said.

COIN & CARD - MINING — BERGLAND — The fire that destroyed the Bergland grocery store last week left the Rich and Tina Lorendo family without a home, as they were renting an apartment behind the store. Luckily, the family and its three cats escaped safely, but their belongings did not fare as well. The family has been staying in a hotel in Bergland, and on Thursday were moving to Ironwood, as they were unable to find suitable housing locally. The family went through a fire once before, when its last home sustained a gas explosion. On Saturday, the Ewen-Trout Creek School is hosting a soup/sandwich/bake sale to raise funds for the Lorendos.

G GO OL LD D HURLEY — The Iron County Mining Impact Committee meeting Thursday got heated when residents of Mellen, Madeline Island, Washburn, Montreal, Ashland and Montreal spoke. Public comment was closed after personal attacks began. Barbara With, Madeline Island, videotaped the meeting, and said, “No one is doubting the time you are putting into this, but you can’t determine the impact of the mine with the wrong information.” ICMIC chair Leslie Kolesar, of Saxon, said earlier in the meeting the last joint Mining Impact Committee on Oct. 16 with Ashland County was “adversarial,” and although the ICMIC has tried to work with Ashland’s committee, it seems their aim is to reject the possibility of a mine altogether. Kolesar said Ashland’s committee does not invite GogebicTaconite to its meetings because members do not trust the company. Michelle Haglund, of Mellen, asked why the ICMIC is even conversing with G-Tac. She said G-Tac officials have proven to be “incompetent and untrustworthy. It’s pure insanity.” Jeff Silbert, of Chequamegon Bay, said he understands the economic imperatives that drive support for the mine, but, “G-Tac is not the way to achieve them. If you put all your eggs in the G-Tac basket, they will be broken. I hope I am dead wrong.” Legislation introduced by state Sen. Tom Tiffany, of Hazelhurst, Senate Bill 349, was also discussed during public comment. Roy Foryan, of Hurley, said it is discouraging that Tiffany is trying to take away local control and hoped the committee would oppose the bill. Kolesar said as a committee, the ICMIC made the choice not to take a stand on the issue, although members may have their own opinions.

Dallas police seek indictment for fired officer DALLAS (AP) — Dallas police will seek a grand jury indictment against an officer who was fired after shooting a mentally ill man in a disputed incident caught on tape, police said Thursday. Police Chief David Brown apologized for the actions of Officer Cardan Spencer, who had been on administrative leave following the Oct. 14 shooting. Brown said at a news conference that Spencer had been fired and was charged with felony aggravated assault, but police later issued a statement saying a judge directed detectives to take the case to a grand jury. “Officers are not above the law,” Brown said at the news con- ference. “We as a police department are not going to look the other way.” Spencer wrote in a police report that he shot Bobby Gerald Bennett last week after the 52year-old man lunged at him and another officer with a knife. But video captured by a neighbor’s surveillance camera shows Bennett didn’t appear to move toward the officers before he was shot and crumpled to the ground. Brown said two people who had witnessed the shooting from a nearby parked vehicle later came forward and corroborated what could be seen on the video. He said investigators interviewed Bennett in his hospital room Friday and he told them he was suicidal at the time and wanted to be shot. Bennett remains hospitalized in stable condition. He initially was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on a public servant, but Brown announced last week that the charge would be dropped. Ron Pinkston, president of the Dallas Police Association, said Spencer believes he was “betrayed by a department that he was trying to serve.” He said no complaint had ever been filed against Spencer in his nearly seven years with the force, adding that he worked some of the toughest neighborhoods in the city.

The latest revelations that the U.S. National Security Agency swept up more than 70 million phone records in France and may have tapped Merkel’s own cellphone brought denunciations from the French and German governments. Merkel’s unusually stern remarks Thursday as she arrived at the European Union gathering indicated she wasn’t placated by a phone conversation she had Wednesday with President Barack Obama, or his personal assurances that the U.S. is not listening in on her calls now. “We need trust among allies and partners,” Merkel told reporters in Brussels. “Such trust now has to be built anew. This is what we have to think about.” “The United States of America and Europe face common challenges. We are allies,” the German leader said. “But such an alliance can only be built on trust. That’s why I repeat again: spying among friends, that cannot be.” The White House may soon face other irked heads of state and government. The British newspaper The Guardian said Thursday it obtained a confidential memo suggesting the NSA was able to monitor 35 world leaders’ communications in 2006. The memo said the NSA encouraged senior officials at the White House, Pentagon and other agencies to share their contacts so the spy agency could add foreign leaders’ phone numbers to its surveillance systems, the report said. The Guardian did not identify who reportedly was eavesdropped on, but said the memo termed the payoff very meager: “Little reportable intelligence” was obtained, it said. Other European leaders arriving for the 28-nation meeting echoed Merkel’s displeasure. Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt called it “completely unacceptable” for a country to eavesdrop on an allied leader. Associated Press GERMAN CHANCELLOR Angela Merkel, left, and French President Francois Hollande arrive for a round-table meeting at an EU summit in Brussels Thursday. If reports that Merkel’s cellphone had been tapped are true, “it is exceptionally serious,” Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte told national broadcaster NOS. “We want the truth,” Italian Premier Enrico Letta told reporters. “It is not in the least bit conceivable that activity of this type could be acceptable.” Echoing Merkel, Austria’s foreign minister, Michael Spindelegger, said, “We need to re-establish with the U.S. a relationship of trust, which has certainly suffered from this.” France, which also vocally objected to allies spying on each other, asked that the issue of reinforcing Europeans’ privacy in the digital age be added to the agenda of the two-day summit. Before official proceedings got underway, Merkel held a brief one-on-one with French President Francois Hollande, and discussed the spying controversy. After summit talks that last- ed until after 1 a.m. Friday, Herman Van Rompuy, European Council president, announced at a news conference that France and Germany were seeking bilateral talks with the United States to resolve the dispute over electronic spying by “secret services” by the end of this year. “What is at stake is preserving our relations with the United States,” Hollande told reporters at his own early-morning news conference. “They should not be changed because of what has happened. But trust has to be restored and reinforced.” “It’s become clear that for the future, something must change — and significantly,” Merkel said. “We will put all efforts into forging a joint understanding by the end of the year for the cooperation of the (intelligence) agencies between Germany and the U.S., and France and the U.S., to create a framework for the cooperation.” WTC concourse opens in area shut since 9/11 NEW YORK (AP) — The first piece of a nearly $4 billion redevelopment of the World Trade Center transportation hub debuted Thursday with the official opening of an underground concourse that passes through an area that has been closed since 9/11. The gleaming, marble-paved expanse is expected to smooth the way for tens of thousands of commuters and visitors. It ultimately will feature retail outlets, but it offers something new right now: A passageway that links businesses and ferry service to the west of the trade center site to New Jersey-bound PATH trains and the rest of lower Manhattan to the east. Prior to Sept. 11, pedestrians Look for These Inserts in Today’s Daily Globe TV Time Dunham’s USA Weekend Look for These Inserts in Tomorrow’s Daily Globe Menards • Village Market Kmart (selected areas) Walgreen’s (selected areas) Snow’s Family Market (selected areas) DAILY GLOBE www.yourdailyglobe.com used a bridge over heavily traveled West Street. Since the attacks destroyed the bridge, they’ve used a temporary bridge or crossed the streets at street level. The temporary bridge is being dismantled and is not in use. “The original World Trade Center site eliminated the street grid because that was the fashion of the times,” Port Authority of New York and New Jersey executive director Patrick Foye said at Thursday’s ribbon cutting. “This restores that street grid and adds an underground grid that literally spans the length of lower Manhattan.” Foye noted that designing the $3.9 billion transportation hub, scheduled to be completed in 2015, provided the opportunity for a “do-over” of sorts that focuses more on linking multiple modes of transportation than the original World Trade Center site did. The hub will connect the PATH rail system, ferry service, New York City subway lines and the Fulton Street Transit Center. Gone will be the days, Foye said, of commuters having to cross busy streets and trudge up and down stairs to make transit connections, Foye said. The approximately 600-footlong underground concourse, which features 40,000 square feet of Italian marble, will house stores and restaurants on two levels, also by 2015. The Port Authority is partnering with Westfield Group to develop and lease the more than 350,000 square feet of retail space. Westfield had signed a long-term retail deal with the Port Authority not long before Sept. 11 and signed a new deal for the redeveloped site in early 2008. Other components of the redeveloped World Trade Center site will be rolled out over the next several months. DAILY GLOBE B I Today’s G Numbers 48 are... N G O I 29 G.T.C.

Jamie Dornan replaces Hunnam in ‘Fifty Shades’ NEW YORK (AP) — “Fifty Shades of Grey” has its male lead, again. Jamie Dornan has been cast as Christian Grey, the lead role that Charlie Hunnam withdrew from recently. Dornan will star alongside female lead Dakota Johnson, with Sam Taylor-Johnson directing. Shooting is planned to begin in November, with a release in August next year. Hunnam’s departure left the project momentarily reeling. The big-screen adaption of E L James’ bestselling erotic novel has been carefully followed by its fans, who were critical of Hunnam’s casting. The 31-year-old Dornan, a former model from Northern Ireland, is relatively unknown. He’s starred in the British TV series “The Fall” and the ABC series “Once Upon a Time.” Unlike with Hunnam, social media reaction to Dornan’s casting was generally positive. Ellis Island museum to reopen Monday NEW YORK (AP) — Ellis Island will reopen to the public Monday, almost exactly a year after Superstorm Sandy’s swells reached 8 feet and badly damaged the former U.S. immigration entry point. “We are delighted to be able to share Ellis Island’s uniquely American story with the world once more,” Superintendent David Luchsinger said in a statement Thursday. The Oct. 29 storm swamped boilers and electrical systems, and the 27.5-acre island in New York Harbor was without power for months. The Ellis Island Immigration Museum, housed in the main building on the island, showcases the stories of the millions of immigrants who passed through the island to start their lives in the United States. More than a million documents, photographs and other artifacts at the museum were moved before the storm because it was impossible to maintain the climate-controlled environment needed for their preservation. While the halls and buildings will reopen, the artifacts remain in a temporary storage facility in Maryland, park officials said. There’s no estimate on when they will return to the island, because considerable work to upgrade and fix the buildings is still ongoing. “You’re not going to see a complete restoration of Ellis Island for a while,” spokesman John Warren said. Crews are still working on revamping so that the next bad storm won’t leave the island shuttered for a year, he said. Nearby Liberty Island, which also flooded during Sandy, reopened on July 4th but was closed during the partial federal government shutdown. “I can think of no better way to celebrate Lady Liberty’s 127th birthday than to welcome visitors back to the place where those ‘huddled masses yearning to breathe free’ first came to our shores,” Luchsinger said, referring to a line in the Emma Lazarus poem “The New Colossus,” which is engraved on a plaque hung inside the statue’s pedestal. There’s no cost estimate yet on how much it will take to repair and revamp the island. Time Warner Cable to carry Al Jazeera America NEW YORK (AP) — Time Warner Cable and Al Jazeera America say they’ve reached a deal for the cable company to start carrying the channel. Al Jazeera America will be launched over the next six months on digital basic cable services in Time Warner Cable as well as Bright House Networks markets, including New York, Los Angeles and Dallas. Financial terms were not disclosed. The deal will make Al Jazeera America available to almost 55 million homes.

So when the Michigan Department of Transportation recently provided the Lansing State Journal with details on its contracts with outside vendors, Michigan residents learned that 91 percent of the department’s spending for the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30 went to Michigan companies. That would be $977 million out of $1.1 billion in projects MDOT bid out. And a share of the remaining contracts benefits Michigan because the contractors are national firms that have regional offices here. The LSJ began looking at the state’s contracts over the summer after the Michigan Economic Development Corp. awarded an out-of-state contract to provide materials for the Pure Michigan campaign, drawing criticism. The Department of Technology, Management and Budget had an easily accessible website displaying all contracts it manages, making analysis simple. But of the three departments that manage their own contracts, MDOT and MEDC were not able to quickly provide access to them, and both wanted thousands of dollars to prepare the documents for a reporter’s review. Fortunately, the incongruity caught the attention of state officials. Both departments eventually made their data available and are working on providing it in web formats that are easy for the average taxpayer to access. That’s good news all around. —Lansing State Journal Letter Bolen praised for leadership To the Editor: Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the annual convention of the Michigan Municipal League, the leading advocate and training organization for cities across Michigan. I attended this convention to visit with my friends from Wakefield, Mayor Richard Bolen, city manager John Siira and council member Ted Finco. I also had the opportunity to meet the Ironwood city manager, Scott Erickson. As a newly appointed city manager for Luna Pier, Mich., I was extremely impressed to learn that both Bolen and Erickson are both serving on the MML board of directors. I was impressed because of all of the cities in the Upper Peninsula that these city officials represent, both of them are from the area where I resided as a child and where I graduated from high school in Wakefield. I also learned that Bolen had just been elected by his peers on the board of directors to the position of vice-president of the league. At the 2014 convention, Bolen will become the president. I cannot emphasize strongly enough what a great achievement this is, not only for Bolen, but also for the Upper Peninsula and Wakefield. This is the first time in the 100-year history of the league that a sitting mayor of Wakefield has been elevated to this prestigious position and also only the fourth time in the history of the league that this honor has been bestowed on someone from the Upper Peninsula. This achievement speaks volumes about the leadership that Bolen not only brings to Wakefield, but also to the state. He not only has earned the respect of the people he represents in Wakefield, but also the respect of over 500 municipalities across the state. Bolen should be commended for this rare accomplishment and the residents of Wakefield should be extremely proud they have a person of his expertise as mayor and someone who is recognized across the state in the highest leadership position of participating cities. I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to him and I am looking forward to his leadership at MML in the upcoming year. Charles A.

OPINION Time to turn off the blowhards At a recent news conference, President Obama reflected on what caused the 16-day government shutdown, and how another crisis can be avoided in the future. “How business is done in this town has to change,” he lectured. “All of us need to stop focusing on the lobbyists and the bloggers and the talking heads on radio and the professional activists who profit from conflict.” Those “bloggers” and “talking heads” have every right to say anything they want, of course. The real problem is the people who listen to them. The rest of us have every right — even an obligation — to turn them off. There are many reasons behind the hardeyed hostility that led to the shutdown, but how voters get information about politics plays a major role. One of the great ironies of the digital age is that the same devices we can use to broaden our world can also be used to narrow it. All it takes is a few keystrokes to create echo chambers of information, to flood our screens and ear buds with opinions that reinforce our prejudices and exclude dissent. Nine years ago, law professor Cass Sunstein presciently warned on NPR that “the greatest danger of the echo chambers is unjustified extremism.” Sunstein, who later worked for the Obama administration, argued that “if you get a group of people who tend to think something, after they talk to each other, they end up thinking a more extreme version of what they thought before.” The power of these “echo chambers” to produce “unjustified extremism” was graphically on display during last year’s election. Goaded by hardline “bloggers” and “talking heads,” Mitt Romney moved sharply to the right on immigration and advocated “selfdeportation,” perhaps the single worst mis- yourdailyglobe.com USPS 269-980 Published daily Monday - Saturday (except Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day) Periodicals postage paid at Ironwood, MI 49938 POSTMASTER – Send changes of addresses to: The Daily Globe, P.O. Box 548, 118 E. McLeod Ave., Ironwood, MI 49938 take he made during a fumble-filled campaign. On election night, Romney still thought he would win, even though his pollsters had told him two weeks before that he was toast. The conservative echo chamber was predicting victory, and he chose to believe them instead of the professionals he was paying to provide the facts. The same capacity for denial and selfdelusion is playing out again in the aftermath of the government shutdown. Even though polls show the popularity of the Republican Party plunging to new depths, the influential conservative blogger Erick Erickson hails the emergence of “a fundamentally altered party of new faces fueled by a grass-roots movement now able to connect with each other.” He’s forgetting one thing. A “fundamentally altered party” that demands orthodoxy and purges heretics cannot possibly win national elections. The new media landscape was thoughtfully explored by David Carr, the media columnist of The New York Times, who wrote: “The polarized political map is now accompanied by a media ecosystem that is equally gerrymandered into districts of self-reinforcing discourse.” That gerrymandering of the information map is encouraged by consumers. As Carr notes, “Cable blowhardism would not be such a good business if there hadn’t been a kind of personal redistricting of news coverage by the citizenry.” He cites a Pew poll showing that 75 percent of Sean Hannity’s viewers on Fox identify as conservatives. Over on MSNBC, Rachel Maddow’s audience is 71 percent liberal. (The liberal echo chamber is not as loud as the conservative version, but it could become a thorny problem for Obama if and when he tries to trim entitlement costs.) Fox News analyst Brit Hume recently pointed out that bloggers like Erickson and talk show hosts like Hannity “have real influence ... particularly in very conservative areas where they are most popular.” As a result, even GOP lawmakers who thought shutting down the government was a “suicide mission” kept silent. “You don’t want the tea party and you don’t want the conservative radio talk show hosts on your back,” Hume said. The answer to this “blowhardism” has to come from the voters. And they can start by realizing a key point made by Obama. The Hannitys and Ericksons of the world are indeed “professional activists who profit from conflict.” They are not interested in informing citizens and improving government. They are interested in fomenting fear and stoking anger. Angry people boost ratings, appeal to advertisers, and raise the profiles and incomes of the blowhards. “More often than not,” says Carr, “when we tune in to cable or fire up the Web, we are staring into the mirror, not looking out a window.” It’s time to throw open that window, stick our heads out, and listen to voices that challenge our worldview.

The millage is not new, but requires renewal every 10 years, said Catherine Shamion, school superintendent. “It’s vital to the school, providing for nearly half of our revenue,” said Shamion. “Without it we’re sunk.” The millage has always passed in prior years, Shamion said. This year’s renewal is at the same rate as the last millage, Shamion said. Over 10 years, it would raise an estimated $1,142,950 for the school district. The tax was previously called the “non-homestead” tax, Shamion said. The funding is used for operational costs, said Brad Dalbec, W-M School Board president. “It only goes towards the business functions,” he said, “not teacher salaries.” Primary residences are taxed at six mills for the school, which is distributed to the state of Michigan, and the school receives a portion back through per-pupil funding, Shamion said. Wakefield’s school board will meet on Monday at 5 p.m. at the Marenisco Town Hall. Shamion said it expects to have up-to-date survey results to present, with about 200 surveys returned. The survey asked residents their opinions regarding possible consolidation efforts of Gogebic Range schools. Respondents overwhelmingly supported Bessemer as a partner for possible consolidation, Dalbec said. Shamion said, “From what I’ve seen of the results, people support consolidation with Bessemer.” The timeline for such an effort remains “questionable,” Shamion said. Briefly Officials want Presque Isle plant to stay open MARQUETTE (AP) — Officials say the Presque Isle Power Plant in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula should remain operating through at least 2014 to maintain reliable electricity service in the region. The Mining Journal of Marquette reports the assessment is from Midcontinent Independent System Operator Inc., which oversees the area’s power grid. The Presque Isle plant’s largest customer, Cliffs Natural Resources, told Wisconsin’s We Energies in July that the mining company was switching its electric provider effective Sept. 1. Officials estimated the switch would save Cliffs roughly $25 million annually. In September, We Energies filed a request to suspend operations at the Presque Isle plant beginning in February. The plant’s long-term future is uncertain. The Presque Isle employs 170 workers. plant Wisconsin program that helps prisoners likely to end STEVENS POINT, Wis. (AP) — A program that supporters say has been effective in keeping low- to medium-risk offenders in central Wisconsin from returning to jail will likely end. The Volunteers in Probation program pairs offenders with mentors who help re-integrate them into the community after their release, according to Stevens Point Journal Media. But the program is likely to be cut as part of Portage County’s effort to trim $1 million from its budget, which will decrease 1 percent from 2013. This year, the county spent $50,000 on the program, which is run through Justiceworks, a nonprofit that helps offenders adjust when they re-enter society. It will likely close at year’s end.

Kaitlyn Nash, 16, went to the school to be with her friends. She said students who knew and loved Ritzer were still trying to make sense of what happened. She said she found it particularly frightening that she had theater rehearsal Tuesday afternoon and was at the school when authorities believe Ritzer was killed. “It’s just terrifying,” she said. “I know a lot of people don’t want to go back to school at this point. I know we have to, and we just need to get on with.” Classes were expected to resume today. Police and school officials told about 800 parents at a meeting Thursday night there will be extra safety measures to reassure returning students, including locked side doors, and more police and counselors on hand. Rabih Chaghouri, whose daughter is a freshman, said he’s confident the school is safe. “This could happen in any neighborhood, any street, anywhere. You never know what goes on in people’s heads.” Authorities offered no clues Thursday on Chism’s alleged motive. They also would not say how Ritzer was killed. Carrie Kimball-Monahan, a spokeswoman for Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett, said the case was still being investigated. Chism had moved to Massachusetts from Tennessee 5 Record PARENTS AND Danvers High School students hold candlelight vigil to mourn the death of Colleen Ritzer, a 24-year-old math teacher at Danvers High School, on Wednesday in Danvers, Mass. DANVERS, Mass. (AP) — A teacher who was allegedly killed by one of her students had asked him to stay after school the day she was killed, a classmate said Thursday, as students met with grief counselors and tried to come to grips with the slaying of the popular teacher. Philip Chism, 14, was charged with murder Wednesday in the death of Colleen Ritzer, a 24year-old math teacher at Danvers High School. Rania Rhaddaoui sat two seats away from Chism in Ritzer’s Algebra I class, the final class of the school day. She said Chism was drawing in a notebook rather than taking notes Tuesday. “She came over and said, ‘I didn’t know you draw,’ and he said, ‘yes,’ then later on, she said, ‘Can you stay after with me?’” Rhaddaoui said. “Obviously, he stayed after because when I was leaving, he was still at his desk.” She said Ritzer had scheduled a test for today, but she was unsure why exactly Ritzer asked Chism to stay after school. Ritzer never returned home that day. Blood in a second-floor bathroom helped lead investigators to her body, which was dumped in the woods behind the school in a close-knit community about 20 miles north of Boston. Chism was picked up by police in the early morning hours Wednesday, walking along Route 1 in neighboring Topsfield. His attorney declined to comment outside court Wednesday and did not immediately return a call seeking comment Thursday. l before the start of the school year and was a top scorer on the school’s junior varsity soccer team. Jean McCartin, a Danvers School Committee member, said the school has extensive programs to help ease the transition for new students who may have problems but there was no information about Chism that would have presented any red flags. “He just presented himself to us like any other student would,” she said Thursday. “And that’s what I think is so hard for the administration right now. You know, their hearts are breaking because they just didn’t know he was in need, if he was in need. ... No one knows why he would have behaved in this way and done such a terrible thing.” Students were also puzzled. Chism’s teammates on the soccer team have said he was soft-spoken and nonviolent. Rhaddaoui said Chism was quiet, and she never saw him raise his hand in math class. She said they were also in the same history class, where he told classmates he spoke three languages: English, Portuguese and Japanese. Mark Nolan, of Clarksville, Tenn., who coached Chism in a local youth soccer program for several years when Chism was 9 or 10, said there was nothing unusual about him. “He didn’t stand out; he wasn’t a troublemaker,” Nolan said. “He had no problem with other kids. He wasn’t overly aggressive.” POLICE REPORTS Gogebic County Micheal Scott Seratti, 24, of Ironwood, was arrested for operating while intoxicated on U.S. 2 in Ironwood on Saturday at 2:30 a.m., according to a Michigan State Police report.

(AP) — A member of the National Guard opened fire at an armory outside a U.S. Navy base in Tennessee, wounding two soldiers before being subdued and disarmed by others soldiers, officials said Thursday. Millington Police Chief Rita Stanback said the shooter was apprehended Thursday by other National Guard members, and that he did not have the small handgun used in the shooting in his possession by the time officers arrived. Stanback said two National Guard members were shot, one in the foot and one in the leg. “I’m sure there could have been more injury if they hadn’t taken him into custody,” Stanback said. Maj. Gen.

DETROIT (AP) — Short of cash, Detroit was delaying payments to vendors and “operating on a razor’s edge” weeks before it filed for bankruptcy protection, the head of the city’s turnaround team testified Thursday. Ken Buckfire, a Wall Street investment banker and Detroitarea native, gave the most detailed testimony so far on the second day of a trial that will determine whether the city can stay in bankruptcy court and eventually unsaddle $18 billion in debt. Detroit must show it’s broke and tried in good-faith to negotiate with creditors. Unions and pension funds with much money at stake claim the city didn’t hold genuine talks and therefore the case should be thrown out. Buckfire’s firm, Miller Buckfire, got involved in Detroit’s finances before the bankruptcy. He arrived in 2012 as the state of Michigan signed an agreement with the city to make certain changes in exchange for financial support. The deal fell apart and eventually led to the appointment of an emergency manager last March. Buckfire said many city assets were considered for possible sale but none were viable, including a small airport — “effectively worth nothing” — and the water department, which he described as a “very complicated situation.” He said art is being appraised at the Detroit Institute of Arts, a museum that is operated on the city’s behalf. By last spring, there were estimates that Detroit soon would be down to just $7 million, a small vein of cash in an annual budget of more than $1 billion, while payments to vendors were Associated Press PROTESTERS RALLY outside The Theodore Levin United States Courthouse in Detroit Wednesday. The city of Detroit for months has disclosed the awful condition of its finances. Now it’s up to a judge to determine if the largest public bankruptcy in U.S. history really can go forward. repeatedly delayed, Buckfire said. “The city was operating on a razor’s edge of liquidity. ... There was nothing of significance that could be converted to cash to avert a cash crisis in June or July,” he said. Emergency manager Kevyn Orr, appointed by the Michigan governor to run Detroit, announced in June that the city would stop making payments on $2.5 billion in unsecured debt. The Chapter 9 bankruptcy filing came a month later. Lawyers opposed to the bankruptcy asked that much of Briefly E-TC Board of Education searches for new member EWEN — The Ewen-Trout Creek Board of Education is looking for a new member. The board Wednesday accepted with regret the resignation of Kristie Wagner. The board will take applications for her replacement. The board heard a report from Sandie Maki of activities of the Asset youth group. One of the activities includes the planting of flower bulbs around the school so they will bloom in the spring. The board also named Dennis Jilek as middle school boys basketball coach. The board is also looking toward the future and set the date for high school graduation for May 23 and approved the 2013-’14 school calendar. Wausau takes first step toward cellphone ban WAUSAU, Wis. (AP) — City leaders in Wausau are moving forward with a plan to ban cellphone use while driving. The city’s Public Health and Safety Committee voted this week to have the city attorney’s office draft a cellphone ban ordinance. The committee likely will vote on the proposal next month. Daily Herald Media reports the Wausau City Council would need to approve the ordinance. Other area municipalities appear likely to follow suit if Wausau adopts a ban. Wausau Police Chief Jeff Hardel says other municipalities are key to enforcing the ban. That’s because many motorists are unsure of where municipal boundaries lie and on what streets they wouldn’t be allowed to use phones while driving. Marshfield and Wisconsin Rapids already have ordinances that ban cellphone use while driving, except for hands-free phones. Wisconsin ski areas turn to South America for workers MILWAUKEE (AP) — Wisconsin ski areas have hundreds of seasonal jobs to fill, and they’re even turning to college students from tropical Brazil and other South American countries. lliams Wie ctri Elechanicc al the Area & MServing Since 1978 Additional Services Offered: • New Construction • Remodels & Repairs • Certified Generac Sales and Service Dealer • Refrigeration • HVAC 2697 County Hwy.

Emergency Service 24/7 Some Wisconsin ski areas have trouble hiring enough local help even when the jobless rate is high, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Thursday. Randy Axelson, spokesman for Cascade Mountain near Portage, said it’s an inherent problem because the work is seasonal. Cascade will employ 40 college students from South America in jobs that will last until March, he said. Axelson said a surprising number of South Americans come back for a second year or more. Though Brazilians can be shocked by the cold, he said, other students come from Argentina and Peru, where it can get just as cold as Wisconsin. For we hold that a person is justified by faith apart from works prescribed by the law. – Romans 3:28 “I remember picking up one fellow at the airport, and when the doors opened and it was 5 degrees outside, he started crying. He said, ‘I can’t do this. I can’t do this,’” Axelson recalled. But after a brief adjustment — and some proper winter clothes — the Brazilian student finished the winter and returned to work two more seasons. “I can say that almost 100 percent of them are not coming for the money. They’re here because work experience in the United States will help them get a job when they graduate from college,” Axelson said. Little Switzerland ski area, in Slinger, scheduled a job fair Thursday aimed at filling about 100 positions, including ski lift operators and cafeteria workers. Its pay scale for seasonal jobs ranges from minimum wage to about $12 per hour. For most people, it’s part- time work. “One of the perks for working here is you get to ski for free, which is as important as the wage for a lot of our employees,” co-owner Mike Schmitz said. Sunburst Ski Area, in Kewaskum, is gearing up to hire more than 100 employees and already has begun testing snow-making equipment. “It’s been slow, and we aren’t quite sure why,” general manager Steve Voss said about applicants for jobs that have starting wage of a $7.25 per hour, but include free skiing. Often, a ski hill is the first job experience for teenagers and young adults, said Chris Stoddard, president of the Midwest Ski Areas Association. “It’s an important role for them, learning the importance of coming to work on time and accepting the responsibilities that come with a real job,” Stoddard said. 10 A.M.

Senate OKs new sentencing rules for young killers LANSING (AP) — The Michigan Senate voted unanimously Thursday to create new sentencing rules for young killers, 16 months after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down mandatory life-without-parole sentences for juveniles. The legislation sent to the House on 36-0 votes would apply only to future criminal cases, not retroactively to the state’s 360 or so inmates who were under 18 when they committed crimes, mostly murder. The high court’s June 2012 decision — based on the Constitution’s Eighth Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment — is silent on retroactivity, and courts across the country have been divided ever since on the issue. Retroactivity is especially relevant in Michigan, home to second-highest number of juvenile lifers in the U.S. “The bill in front of you will bring us into compliance with the Supreme Court ruling. It does not go retroactive because they did not address that,” said Sen. Rick Jones, a Grand Ledge Republican who helped block a Democratic amendment that would have applied the new sentencing scheme to those already behind bars. Juveniles can still be sentenced to life without parole after the court’s decision. The sentence just cannot be mandatory on judges, who also must consider factors such as defendants’ immaturity, rehabilitation chances, family and home environment, peer pressures and inability as youths to navigate possible plea deals. If Michigan juveniles commit first-degree murder or other serious crimes causing death and do not receive life without parole, judges would have to sentence them to a minimum of at least 25 years and a maximum of at least 60 years under the bills. Critics say it makes no sense that some mandatory life sentences are unconstitutional and others are not. They’re hoping the Republican-led House approves legislation to give juvenile lifers a shot at parole. “A minor who commits a crime surely has to be punished, but their culpability is different,” said Shelli Weisberg, lobbyist for the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan. “At the very least as a society, we should look at them again and help them rehabilitate if at all possible and become contributing members.” Sen. Bert Johnson, a Detroit Democrat, estimated that 150 prisoners serving life without parole for crimes committed as juveniles were accomplices, not the actual killers. Officials confirm cases of influenza in Michigan ue to encourage all Michigan citizens to get vaccinated as it is the single best way to prevent the flu.” The department said the illnesses occurred in children and adults from two southeast Michigan counties. Three of the cases have been confirmed as influenza A (H1N1) 2009 viruses and one has been confirmed as being an influenza A (H3N2) virus. Two of the cases were in Oakland County, north of Detroit, officials said. “The sooner you get the flu shot the better,” said Kathy Forzley, Health Division manager and health officer. “It takes a couple weeks after the vaccination for the body to shield itself against the flu.” LANSING (AP) — State health officials have confirmed the first cases of influenza in Michigan during the 2013-2014 flu season and are encouraging people to get flu shots. According to the Michigan Department of Community Health, the four cases of the contagious respiratory illness are the first identified by a state lab this flu season. “Each year, we expect the first influenza cases to appear in the fall and this year has proven to be no different,” James K.

The goal is to put 3.3 million battery-powered cars, plug-in hybrids and other clean-burning vehicles on the roads in those states by 2025. That’s more than 15 times as many zero-emission vehicles projected to be in use in the entire U.S. by 2015. Auto dealers say networks of charging stations and other conveniences are crucial to winning over drivers who are accustomed to pulling up to the gas pump and fear getting stranded by a dead battery. The other states in the pact are Massachusetts, Maryland, Oregon, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Vermont. The eight states together represent about 23 percent of the U.S. auto market. The Associated Press breaks down why there are not more zero-emission cars already, the keys to accomplishing the goal and the formidable challenges: How does this agreement differ from plans already in place in the states? Each state has already separately adopted rules to require a percentage of new vehicles sold to be zero-emission by 2025. For example, California’s mandate of 15.4 percent calls for a total of 1.5 million zero-emission vehicles to be on the state’s roads by that time. Currently, plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles make up less than 2 percent of the state’s market. The agreement signed Thursday is aimed at coordinating efforts among the eight states so that incentives, zoning laws and other ideas for promoting zeroemission vehicles can be more quickly implemented. “The idea is to make it easier for customers to operate and use zero-emission vehicles. This in turn will help pave the way for success of the auto industry,” said Mary Nichols, chairman of the California Air Resources Board. Deb Markowitz, Vermont’s natural resources secretary, said her state will probably form partnerships with companies to help them build charging stations and other necessary infrastructure. Are the states contributing money to make this happen? The agreement signed Thursday requires no specific financial commitment from each state. But each has already launched incentive programs and other policies meant to increase sales of zeroemission vehicles. For example, California offers up to $2,500 in buyer rebates. The state leads the nation in zero emission vehicle sales, with more than 33,000 sold through June tions over the next five years. How many zero-emission vehicles are on road now, and how many models are available? Industry data projects more than 200,000 zero-emissions vehicles on the nation’s roads by 2015. That’s out of more than 250 million registered vehicles in the U.S. There are 16 zero-emission models from eight manufacturers on the market — nine that run on batteries alone, two hydrogen fuel cell cars and five plug-in hybrid models, which can run on battery alone or gasoline. The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers in Washington says there will be 26 battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids for sale in 2014. Officials say every automaker will have a zero-emission model by 2015. What are the key things needed to reach this goal? Auto manufacturers and dealers say consumers do not yet fully trust electric vehicles because of the lack of charging stations. Also, the clean-burning vehicles tend to be more expensive than gasoline-powered cars. Automakers applauded Thursday’s agreement as an important step forward but cautioned that significant infrastructure investment will be needed to reach the goal. Putting 3.3 million vehicles on the road “is not an achievable goal given what we’re doing today from an infrastructure investment standpoint. It’s just not,” said Dan Gage, a spokesman for the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers in Washington, which represents Toyota, General Motors and 10 others. “Up to this point there’s been a lack of consumer interest, and a lot of that has to do with investment in infrastructure.” There are more than 6,700 charging stations open to the public in the eight states in this agreement, which seeks to multiply that number exponentially over the next dozen years. “We think that is going to be necessary for some of the (driving) range anxiety and other acceptance barriers that need to be broken down,” said Brian Maas, president of the California New Car Dealers Association. “The cars are coming — they’re here already — but if you don’t have a place to charge them, there’s not going to be the level of consumer acceptance.” M A R K E T WA T C H Twitter sets $17 to $20 per share range for IPO Higher profits from Ford, others drive stocks up NEW YORK (AP) — Twitter has set a price range of $17 to $20 per share for its initial public offering and says it could raise as much as $1.6 billion in the process. The pricing is relatively conservative considering that Twitter is poised to pull off the year’s hottest IPO. Twitter Inc. said in a regulatory filing Thursday that it will put forth 70 million shares in the offering. If all the shares are sold, the underwriters can buy another 10.5 million shares. At the $20 share price, Twitter’s market value would be around $12.5 billion, roughly one-tenth of Facebook’s current valuation. Twitter’s value is based on 625.2 million outstanding shares expected after the offering, including restricted stock units and stock options. NEW YORK (AP) — Another dose of strong corporate earnings, this time from Ford, Southwest Airlines and others, helped push the stock market higher on Thursday. It’s one of the busiest weeks on Wall Street for companies posting their quarterly results. Roughly a third of the Standard & Poor’s 500 index will report earnings, including some of the world’s best-known companies. For investors, this week has also been a welcome return to business as usual. Wall Street has been focused for weeks on what’s going on in Washington, with the government shutdown, the near-breach of the nation’s borrowing limit and questions about what’s next for the Federal Reserve’s massive bond-buying program. So far, corporate earnings have come in pretty much as most money managers expected. Companies are reporting bigger profits, but most of the growth has come from cost-cutting, a trend that hasn’t changed very much since the financial crisis. “We’re in a slow-growth economy and companies need to do everything to boost earnings,” said Brian Reynolds, chief market strategist at Rosenblatt Securities. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 95.88 points, or 0.6 percent, to 15,509.21. The S&P 500 index added 5.69 points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,752.07, about two points below the record high of 1,754.67 it reached on Tuesday. The Nasdaq composite was up 21.89 points, or 0.6 percent, to 3,928.96. Among companies reporting earnings, Ford earned an adjusted profit of 45 cents per share — a record for the third quarter — as sales rose 12 percent to $36 billion. The Dearborn, Mich.based automaker sold 1.5 million cars and trucks in the period, up 16 percent. Wall Street analysts had expected Ford to earn 37 cents per share, according to FactSet. Ford rose 24 cents, or 1.5 percent, to $17.76. Southwest Airlines, the nation’s largest domestic air carrier, reported sharply higher earnings. Southwest said it had an adjusted profit of 34 cents per share, up from 13 cents a year ago. Southwest rose 61 cents, or 4 percent, to $17.02. AT&T fell 65 cents, or 1.8 percent, to $34.63. The telecommunications company said late Wednesday it had an adjusted profit of 66 cents in the third quarter, a penny above analysts’ forecasts, however revenue fell slightly short of what analysts expected. Two technology giants, Microsoft and Amazon, reported Associated Press THIS MARCH 31, 2011, file photo shows an electric charging station in downtown Portland, Ore. 30, and has set aside an additional $59.55 million for some 29,000 rebates through mid2014. The state has also dedicated $20 million annually through 2024 or until 100 hydrogen stations are built, whichever comes first. Massachusetts pays incentives of up to $7,500 per vehicle to cities that buy electric models, and up to $15,000 for each charging station built.

WORLD Behind the wheel, Saudi women hope for new gains 8 l FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2013 DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — It’s been a little more than two years since the last time women in Saudi Arabia campaigned for the right to drive. Now activists are calling for women to get behind the wheel again Saturday, and they hope reforms made by the monarchy since then have readied the deeply conservative nation for change. The reforms made by King Abdullah in recent years have been cautious, showing his wariness of pushing too hard against influential ultraconservatives. But given the overwhelming restrictions on women in the kingdom, where the strict interpretation of Islam known as Wahhabism is effectively the law of the land, even the tiny openings have had a resounding effect. Perhaps one sign of the impact of the changes is the loudness of the backlash by conservatives against Saturday’s driving campaign. Around 150 clerics rallied outside one of the king’s palaces this week, some accusing Abdullah’s top ally the United States of being behind calls to let women drive. A prominent cleric caused a stir when he said last month that medical studies show that driving a car harms a woman’s ovaries. Those opposed to the campaign have also used social media to attack women activists or have urged people to harass female drivers. The government has given mixed signals about how it will deal with the campaign, illustrated by a statement put out this week by the Interior Ministry, which is in charge of police. The ministry warned against marches or gatherings under the pretext of the driving campaign. It said violators “disturbing public peace” will be dealt with firmly. But activists have interpreted the statement to mean that police will crackdown on men who try and attack or harass women drivers, said Hatoon alFassi, a Women’s History professor at King Saud University in Riyadh. She pointed out that women have made clear they aren’t holding gatherings Saturday; women will simply drive in a show of defiance of the ban, perhaps on the pretext of running errands. “We are feeling a more positive environment. There is a general atmosphere of acceptance,” al-Fassi said. “The public is positive and the reactions on social media are beautiful.” Still, the statement’s language also caters to conservatives because it harkens back to charges of “violating public order” that were levied against a female driver arrested in 2011. In a sign authorities do not want the driving campaign to grow too bold, police have privately told the campaigners not to speak to the media, according to one activist who wished to remain anonymous for fear of retribution. The driving ban — imposed because clerics warn that “licen1 tiousness” will spread if women drive — is unique in the world and is the most symbolically weighty of the restrictions on women in Saudi Arabia. But it’s hardly the only one. Genders are strictly segregated, and women are required to wear a headscarf and loose, black robes in public. Guardianship laws require women to get permission from a male relative — usually husband or father, but lacking those, a brother or son — to travel, get married, enroll in higher education or undergo certain surgical procedures. The first major driving protest came in 1995 and was met by a heavy response. Some 50 women who drove their cars were jailed for a day, had their passports confiscated and lost their jobs. In June 2011, about 40 women got behind the wheel and drove in several cities in a protest sparked when a woman was arrested after posting a video of herself driving. Individual women continued to flout the ban, and one woman was arrested and sentenced to 10 lashes. The king overturned the sentence. For Saturday, campaigners hope to bring out bigger numbers. They claim to have 16,000 signatures on a petition of support, a quarter more than in 2011. This time, they say they understand the laws better and have the full support of male relatives, and they argue public attitudes are changing. They have posted online videos of themselves driving in recent weeks, with some showing passing male drivers giving them a thumbs-up in support. State newspapers have published articles and opinion pieces almost daily on the debate, something impossible only a few years ago. Al-Fassi, who also writes for the state-run daily Al-Riyadh, said that two years ago she was barred from publishing an article that mentioned women’s driving and had to change the wording. “This time I wrote a long article and not a single word was changed. It is unprecedented,” she said. A string of “firsts” since the 2011 driving campaign have cracked open the door. Women were granted the right to vote and run in the 2015 municipal elections. Thirty women were given seats on the Shura Council, an advisory body to the king and government. The largest university in the world for girls opened just a few years after the opening of the kingdom’s first major mixed-gender university. Two Saudi female athletes, including a judo player, competed in last year’s Olympics. Four women were granted licenses to work as lawyers. A law criminalizing domestic abuse was introduced, with a state-backed ad campaign against abuse of women. Still, even the changes have their limits. While it is a crime to abuse a woman, it is not clear which agency investigates allegations and it is difficult to file a police report without a male guardian — who could be the abuser. The new women lawyers will likely face male judges who oppose their presence in the courtroom. Despite the participation in the Olympics, there is no phys-ed for girls in public schools, and sports centers are almost entirely for men. THE DAILY GLOBE • YOURDAILYGLOBE.COM Briefly Portugal reopens missing Madeleine case; new leads LISBON, Portugal (AP) — More than six years after British girl Madeleine McCann vanished from her bedroom during a family vacation in Portugal and five years after Portuguese police gave up trying to find her, authorities reopened the case Thursday, citing new evidence. Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, had long campaigned from their home in central England for the Portuguese investigation to resume. In a statement Thursday, they said they were “very pleased” at the development. “We hope that this will finally lead to (Madeleine) being found and to the discovery of whoever is responsible for this crime,” Kate and Gerry McCann said. The couple, both doctors, continue to care for Madeleine’s younger siblings, twins Sean and Amelie. Madeleine went missing shortly before her fourth birthday. Her disappearance sparked global interest as pictures of her and her grieving parents beamed around the world. Her parents briefly met with Pope Benedict XVI in St. Peter’s Square in June 2007, a month after Madeleine disappeared, and the pontiff held a picture of their daughter. Then, in a stunning twist, Portuguese police briefly considered the parents suspects before they were cleared and returned home. World-famous Spanish chef puts on apron in Italy MILAN (AP) — Ferran Adria, regarded as one of the world’s most inventive chefs, made a “huge exception” when he agreed to cook for an event Thursday — his first such outing since closing his famed elBulli restaurant two years ago to focus on experimentation. Adria, whose Michelin threestar elBulli restaurant in Spain was ranked for five years running the best restaurant in the world by Restaurant magazine, reprised a 1992 dish for an allstar chef dinner Thursday: an iced tomato and almond dish being served as a starter. The occasion was the launch of Italian coffee-maker Lavazza’s 2014 calendar, featuring Adria among seven of the world’s top chefs. Adria said that for at least the last decade that elBulli was open, he never consented to cooking offsite. “It’s a huge exception,” he told The Associated Press in an interview. “It’s a gift for the Lavazza family.” Associated Press A VISITOR takes pictures in a social housing tower converted into a temporary street art exhibition in Paris, France, Tuesday, Oct. 8. Doomed Paris tower lives out last days in graffiti PARIS (AP) — Condemned apartments covered in spray paint have probably never been in such demand. An entire apartment tower in eastern Paris has been turned over to 105 street artists from around the world, giving them a chance to turn each home into its own art installation during the building’s final days. The artists had seven months to tag “Tour Paris 13” — named for the district where it’s located — coating apartments sometimes still filled with debris, trash and furniture. All their work will vanish by the end of the year, as the tower, which has nine stories and a basement, is demolished piece by piece after next week. “I really wanted the artist to intervene on a whole space,” said Mehdi Ben Cheikh, the gallery owner who initiated the project. “I didn’t want the spectators to come and look at art. I wanted the spectators to come and enter an art work ... which means there are things everywhere — we enter a room, and have to turn around in every direction to understand the surroundings.” The result is a tower exhibiting a range of artistic styles. There’s a skull-inspired mural, Arabic calligraphy, a bloody bathroom, and a glow-in-the-dark cow crawling with snakes. Would-be visitors have lined up for up to eight hours for a onehour visit, with signs at various points around the block estimating their wait time. Only 49 people are allowed in at one time in the apartment block, which overlooks the Seine. A handful of people are still living in the building and refusing to leave until the bitter end. Some of the artists of Tour Paris 13 are participating in an unprecedented international urban contemporary art auction on today, with pieces created spur of the moment on Thursday standing alongside works from Keith Haring and Basquiat. “I’ve been following graffiti and street art for about 30 years and so this represents another step in slightly different direction,” said Martha Cooper, the famous street photographer who is documenting their work in progress. “Having an auction in Paris, in a big auction house, is pretty amazing.” A 1986 Basquiat piece, “Monticello,” is estimated to sell at 600,000 to 900,000 euros ($828,180 to $1.2 million), and a 1984 acrylic of Keith Haring’s “Sneeze,” from 500,000 to 700,000 euros. “We are the new artists. Graffiti art is the world’s biggest art movement,” said Mear One, an artist from Los Angeles who was painting live outside the Drouot Auction House on Thursday. “In the 1970s, art was so elite that only the upper level people could do art or appreciate. So it got boring ... and now, we are in a situation where this is the art form. “All that other art is cool, but it has roots in the past, and we are the here and the now.” Bad River Lodge & Casino is proudly owned by the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa 73370 US Hwy. 2, Odanah, Wisconsin 54861 • www.badriver.com 10 miles east of Ashland on Hwy 2 • 715-682-7121 Lodge Information and Reservations: 715-682-6102 or 1-800-795-7121 We reserve the right to modify, alter or cancel any promotion or event at any time.

Shell Shocked By JASON JUNO sports@yourdailyglobe.com MERCER, Wis. — Shell Lake is some No. 7 seed. The Lakers grabbed the momentum after a first-set loss and used a solid offense to upset No. 2 Mercer 3-2 in Thursday’s WIAA Division 4 regional volleyball semifinal. The Indianhead Conference East Division champion Tigers finished at 25-5 with the 1825, 25-10, 25-16, 23-25, 15-10 loss. “We went down swinging; that’s for sure,” Mercer Robyn Schoeneman said. “I couldn’t be happier with the season we had. One loss doesn’t take away the 25 wins we had. We only lost five times; you can count it on one hand. That’s nothing to sneeze at.” Few if any regional teams play Shell Lake during the regular season, but most of the other teams play each other, which helps explain why the Lakers were seeded seventh out of 14 teams. Shell Lake plays in the tough Lakeland Central Conference with teams like Cameron, Turtle Lake and Clayton. “We’re usually a pretty good sleeper,” Shell Lake coach Jessica Furchtenicht said. “We face No. 7 seed Shell Lake stuns No. 2 Mercer in semifinal strong competition all year.” Schoeneman agreed. “I don’t think a seven seed did much justice to their team,” she said. “They are way better than a seven seed and they were a big surprise to us that way. They didn’t get much credit for their abilities because they play in a tough conference. They play at a high level and we knew that going in.” Shell Lake had some hard-to-defend power hitters and its defense was just as solid, getting a piece of most shots at the net and digging shots that didn’t look salvageable. “Our offense tonight was so good,” Furchtenicht said. “We’re led by seniors, so we have an old, veteran team. They were able to just come out and hit the ball. I don’t think they were expecting that. We had great blocks, which caused them to start tipping and our coverage was really good.” Mercer saw Shell Lake sweep Northwood in the regional quarterfinal Tuesday. “We knew what they had as far as hitters went and then they started tipping,” Schoeneman said. “They started doing things that caught us back on our heels and we weren’t expecting that. We were certainly geared towards the hitters. We really started digging towards the end and took them out of their game. Then they started tipping it and we were back on our heels. We weren’t adjusting as quickly as we should have. By the end we did, but maybe it was just a little too late.” Mercer looked to be on a good path after scoring nine straight points midway through the first game, a 25-18 win. “We came out really well. We were in the lead to start and won that first game with really solid play,” Schoeneman said. But Shell Lake turned a 6-6 tie in the second game to a 23-8 lead and firmly took the momentum. The Lakers kept it in the third game, taking an early 9-2 lead and keeping the gas pushed in. It was a pretty good recovery from a first-set loss on the road. “We were able to dig down deep, which was something we haven’t seen all season from them,” Furchtenicht said. Shell Lake again took the early lead in Brett Favre dismisses possibility of joining Rams ST. LOUIS (AP) — Brett Favre dismissed the possibility of returning to the NFL with St. Louis, and Rams coach Jeff Fisher declined to address reports he tried to lure the quarterback out of retirement to replace the injured Sam Bradford. Favre told Washington sports station WSPZ-AM he doesn’t feel physically able to compete and expressed fear that he has been affected by concussions. “It’s flattering, but you know there’s no way I’m going to do that,” Favre said. Fisher changed the subject after practice, then said “Nice try” when asked whether the 44-yearold Favre could be ready to play. Bradford is out for the season with a knee injury. “I don’t remember my daughter playing soccer, playing youth soccer, one summer,” Favre told WSPZ. “I don’t remember that. I got a pretty good memory, and I have a tendency, like we all do, to say, ‘Where are my glasses?’ and they’re on your head. This was pretty shocking to me that I couldn’t remember my daughter playing youth soccer, just one summer, I think. I remember her playing basketball, I remember her playing volleyball, so I kind of think maybe she only played a game or two. I think she played eight. So that’s a little bit scary to me. For the first time in 44 years, that put a little fear in me. ... “I think after 20 years, God only knows the toll.” Rams defensive end Robert Quinn didn’t think there was anything to the reports. “Brett Favre is staying retired,” Quinn said. “Brett hasn’t played since 2010 and he’s comfortable down there in Mississippi on a boat or something. Have fun with it, Brett.” Kellen Clemens, the backup the past two seasons, will make his 13th career start Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks. The Rams also signed Brady Quinn and Austin Davis.

Dallas, Detroit, Miami to play NFL London in 2014 LONDON (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins will travel to London next year to take part in the NFL International Series, the league announced Thursday. The NFL will hold three games at Wembley Stadium in 2014, with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Atlanta Falcons and Oakland Raiders as the designated home teams. The lineup: Cowboys vs. Jaguars, Lions vs. Falcons, and Dolphins vs. Raiders. Dates are to be determined. The Cowboys have played preseason games abroad before, but the prospect of playing in London was absolutely appetizing to coach Jason Garrett. “It’s a great opportunity for our organization to go over there and play and we’re going to do what we need to do logistically to play our best,” Garrett said. “It’s Wembley Stadium, for crying out loud. It’s one of the great stadiums in the world.” Lions All-Pro receiver Calvin Johnson said it will be “interesting,” to make his first trip to London, but hopes the game isn’t scheduled before the team’s annual short week. “Hopefully, it’s just not around the Thanksgiving time or the week before,” Johnson said. Lions president Tom Lewand saw the game as an opportunity to promote his city, which filed for bankruptcy this year. “The global platform also presents a unique and special opportunity for our fans and business partners to join us in sharing the many positive stories about the city of Detroit, the state of Michigan and the Lions,” Lewand said in a statement. The Jaguars are playing four games over four seasons in London, starting on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. Jacksonville is a kind of designated home team for London, as it has given up one of its eight regular-season home games for four seasons. Speedgirls edge Devils in rivalry match By PAT KRAUSE sports@yourdailyglobe.com IRONWOOD — The two volleyball matches between Bessemer and Ironwood were so similar, it was almost like rewinding a movie and watching it over again. Bessemer wins the first two games and Ironwood comes back to take games three and four. But on Thursday night, the script changed at the end. Ironwood won the fifth set in their first match, but this time the Speedgirls took the fifth set and won a very close match 25-20, 25-22, 19-25, 18-25 and 16-14. “It went right down to the wire, just like the last game,” Speedgirl coach Shelly Mettler said. “We went two sets up, but I never doubted Ironwood would come back because the first two games were close. I didn’t want the girls to go flat in the third and fourth sets, but that’s exactly what we did. In the fifth game, I wanted them to leave it all on the court. “I told them I’d rather have them go down swinging and lose than play it safe and win. I told them to play with emotion and keep playing with emotion” Bessemer senior Sarah Trudgeon, who was all over the court with five kills, 12 assists and two aces, said the difference between the first game and the second game was that the Speedgirls “really wanted it” this time. She Pat Krause/Daily Globe BESSEMER’S MIKHAYLA Sampson returns a shot during Thursday’s non-conference match at John Krznarich Gym in Ironwood. also admitted she had played a heck of a game. “This game meant a lot to us and we played our hearts out and left everything on the court,” Trudgeon said. “I have so much faith in our team. This was one of my better games. It got so loud and we were really pumped up.” Ironwood coach Lisa Graham was also surprised how similar the two games were but wasn’t happy with the ending of this match. “That was definitely not our best volleyball,” Graham said. “We’ve played much better. We had lots of mental mistakes, mistakes we normally don’t make. The only positive is to take our lumps now and play well in the district tournament. But it tough to lose at homecoming. We had a nice crowd that was very intense and our student section was loud.” But Graham gave Bessemer credit for a good win. “I’ve seen Bessemer play before and that’s the scrappiest and best RIVALS — page 10 Pat Krause/Daily Globe IRONWOOD’S MARIAH Beaudeatte takes a swing during Thursday’s non-conference match against Bessemer at John Krznarich Gym in Ironwood.

Mercer’s Caitlyn Hiller (21) follows the play. Tigers From page 9 game four, but Mercer fought back and forced a thrilling back-andforth the rest of the game. After Mercer came back to tie it at 1414, the teams traded points until the Tigers finally took a two-point 24-22 advantage. Shell Lake made it 24-23, but Mercer scored the winning point on a bad Shell Lake serve. Mercer’s offense worked well late in game four with Lexi Engler and Nikki Kempf able to tally kills and even a couple of blocks on Shell Lake’s hitters. “In the fourth game, we started to play with a little more heart and enthusiasm, which is what we built our whole season around,” Schoeneman said. The Tigers kept their momentum into the fifth game, taking a 4-0 lead. They looked good getting the lead with Engler going to the floor to save one of Shania Pokorny’s many powerful shots. Sydney Thompson also had a block in the run. But that didn’t faze seniorladen Shell Lake. Pokorny finally got her third shot of the play to fall for a kill. That gave Shell Lake its first point of the fifth set and the Lakers managed to score 12 straight points. Mercer pulled back within 13-9 but couldn’t stop Shell Lake any longer. The Tigers got a nice hand from their home crowd after completing a nice season, albiet too soon. Mercer lost outside hitter Kempf during that fifth game; a big loss that Shell Lake exploited. She had some issues breathing while battling illness and asthma, Schoeneman said. “It’s hard when a cornerstone of your team goes down, but we fought hard and we played well,” Schoeneman said. “I’m proud of them.” No. 3 Washburn swept No. 6 Bayfield and will host Shell Lake in Saturday’s regional final. Washburn likely expected to be coming to Mercer Saturday night. The future is bright in Mercer. Just two seniors graduate, but they were big pieces this year, Kempf and Kassie Wiedower. At one time, Mercer played with four freshmen on the court Thursday. Wacha, Cards top Red Sox 4-2 to tie World Series Associated Press ST. LOUIS Cardinals’ Jon Jay and Pete Kozma (38) celebrate after the Cardinals defeated the Boston Red Sox, 4-2, in Game 2 of baseball’s World Series Thursday in Boston. The series is tied at 1-1. NASCAR may overhaul qualifying in 2014 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR told its competitors Thursday it is considering eliminating single-car qualifying next season in an overhaul that would likely implement road course-style qualifying at all but two tracks. Drivers from all three national series met with top NASCAR officials for almost two hours at the R&D Center in Concord to discuss several different ideas under consideration for 2014. The only thing officially announced by NASCAR was that it will mandate baseline concussion testing for drivers starting next season. But series officials also outlined potential changes to qualifying procedures everywhere except Daytona and Talladega. NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp said the field would likely be set at Daytona and Talladega with an “open qualifying session” that would allow for a 60-minute drafting session. “It’s not written in stone at this point in time,” Tharp told The Associated Press. “We just talked about some ideas that would make things more interesting. Today was an opportunity for us to talk to the drivers about ideas, and I’m sure other ideas will come up over the next few weeks.” NASCAR also informed drivers of a Dec. 9 test at Charlotte Motor Speedway to continue work on its intermediate track package, with Dec. 10 held as a rain date. NASCAR tested a variety of different packages Oct. 14 at Charlotte and discussed the results of those tests with drivers Thursday. “We are just trying to do everything we can to make the racing better, particularly at the intermediate tracks,” Tharp said. NASCAR this year implemented road course qualifying for its Sprint Cup Series at Sonoma and Watkins Glen for the first time. Under the new format, which had previously been used in the Nationwide Series, cars attempting to qualify were divided into groups. The number of groups, and the number of cars in each, depended on the number of cars that practiced for the event. Group assignments were based on final practice times. Each qualifying group was ontrack for a set period of time, determined by the series director. A car’s best lap time during the group session was the qualifying lap time of record. NASCAR used heat races in the Truck Series to set qualifying at Eldora Speedway in July for the first time. Fans enjoyed it, but there doesn’t seem to be a push to bring it to the Sprint Cup Series. BOSTON (AP) — Just when it seemed Michael Wacha had cracked, the St. Louis Cardinals began scooting around the bases and tied the World Series. Wacha beat John Lackey in a matchup of present and past rookie sensations, and this time it was the Cardinals’ turn to take advantage of sloppy fielding as St. Louis topped the Boston Red Sox 4-2 Thursday night to even the Series at a game apiece. David Ortiz put Boston ahead in the sixth inning with a tworun homer just over the Green Monster in left, ending Wacha’s scoreless streak at 18 2-3 innings — a rookie record for a single postseason. But then Lackey, who in 2002 with the Angels became the first rookie in 93 years to win a World Series seventh game, faltered in a three-run seventh. St. Louis went ahead when Matt Carpenter hit a sacrifice fly that led to a pair of runs, with the second scoring on errors by catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia and reliever Craig Breslow. Carlos Beltran, back in the lineup after bruising ribs in the opener, followed with an RBI single. Rivals From page 9 I’ve seen them play,” she said. In game one, Bessemer went up 137 after a long hit by Trudgeon landed inside the back-line. Kills from Mariah Beaudette and Jessica Gering closed the gap to 20-17, but Claire Tourville closed out the set with double aces. The second game was close all the way and Allyson Hanson tied the game at 16-16 with a great tip down the sideline, but Emily DiGiorgio came right back with hard kill shot. Beaudette and Brenna Bogaczyk traded kill and blocks down the stretch, but it was Bogaczyk’s kill that nipped the back line for a 25-22 win. In the third game. Gering’s patented tip to the back line put Ironwood up 17-10 and Bessemer lost its focus, played it safe and made mistakes as Ironwood got its first win. Game four was tight until Beaudete and DiGiorgio made kills and Gering’s hit that couldn’t be handled allowed Ironwood to pull away 25-18. In game five, Trudgeon’s block gave Bessemer a 10-5 advantage. A tip by “I wanted to be in the lineup. I worked so hard to get to this point,” Beltran said. “Somebody would have to kill me in order for me to get out of the lineup.” When the Series resumes Saturday night in St. Louis, Jake Peavy starts for the Red Sox and Joe Kelly for the Cardinals. Twenty-nine of the previous 55 teams that won Game 2 to tie the Series went on to take the title. “Excited to get home. I know everybody is,” St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said. Wacha, a 22-year-old righthander, was the NL championship series MVP after beating Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw twice. Wacha wasn’t quite as sharp in this one, allowing two runs, three hits and four walks in six innings with six strikeouts. He threw a career-high 114 pitches, and when he reached the dugout after Ortiz’s homer, he slammed his glove onto the bench. Still, the rookie improved to 40 with a 1.00 ERA in four outings this postseason, matching the amount of regular-season wins he has in his brief career. “He pitched outstanding,” Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina Katie Erickson that barely made it over the net tied the decisive game at 12-12. But Ironwood had a violation and pushed shots long and wide. Trudgeon closed out the set and match with a service ace. Besides Trudgeon’s big night, Tourville nailed six aces along with two kills and 10 assists. Julie Ahnen slammed four aces with five kills. Bogaczyk made her presence felt in the middle with 10 kills and six blocks. Bogaczyk battled all night with Ironwood’s Beaudette, who had 14 kills and four blocks. Both coaches said it was “fun” play to watch the girls play so hard against each other. “It’s a very good match-up,” Graham said. “It’s kill, block, go at it and they will get in your face. They have great intensity and you’d like to have both of them on your team.” Mettler said junior Valerie Rowe had her “best game all year.” Graham praised Ally Clemens for her serving and said she scored the most points while serving. Ironwood senior Jessica Gering pounded 11 kills and Sarah Johnson added seven. Emily DiGiorgio and Katie Erickson had five kills and Erickson notched 32 assists. said. “Just one pitch, to a great hitter like Big Papi. We take our hat off to him, but I mean, he pitched good tonight.” Wacha’s parents and sister made the trip from Texarkana, Texas, and sat bundled in coldweather clothes in the stands to watch the 19th pick in last year’s amateur draft. The Cardinals’ hard-throwing bullpen combined for one-hit relief. Carlos Martinez got six outs, retiring Mike Napoli on an inning-ending popup with two on in the eighth. Trevor Rosenthal struck out the side in the ninth for a save, whiffing Daniel Nava with a 99 mph fastball to end it. All three St. Louis pitchers were 23 or younger. “It doesn’t surprise me. Those guys got talent,” Molina said. “Like I said before many times, they’re not afraid to pitch.” Seeking its second championship title in three seasons, St. Louis improved to 7-0 this postseason when scoring first and stopped Boston’s World Series winning streak at nine. That run began with a sweep of the Cardinals in 2004, when St. Louis never led the entire Series. W-M sweeps E-TC EWEN — Wakefield-Marenisco swept Ewen-Trout Creek 2518, 25-22, 25-13 in Thursday's Porcupine Mountain Conference volleyball match. Hallee Yon led W-M with six kills. "We got off to a slow start, we were sluggish on defense," W-M coach Jessica Novascone said. It was Senior Night for E-TC. "They were really fired up. They've definitely improved since the start of the year, a lot of confidence," Novascone said. W-M (8-8) is off until the district tournament. Novascone was happy to play at Ewen, the site of districts, which are the week of Nov. 4. Watersmeet beats Bays W A T E R S M E E T — Watersmeet swept Dollar Bay 25-14, 25-21, 25-20 in non-conference volleyball Thursday. Watersmeet hosts Bessemer Tuesday to complete the regular season.

I have been married for 21 years to a good man who is nine years my senior. He is supportive and affectionate. Most women would be satisfied. He plays the lottery more often than we can afford, but other than that, he’s a kind man. He is also a terrific, loving father to our two teenage boys. Here’s my problem: Six months ago, I got in touch with my first young love through Facebook. We became comfortable chatting and texting.

We have hugged and kissed, but haven’t had sex. He feels that would be crossing a line that could never be erased. But we are both slowly giving in to our desire for each other. Our marriages are at a crossroads. Neither of us is intimate with our spouse. My family is completely unaware that I am in love with my childhood sweetheart. Do I follow my head and stay in a safe, stale marriage? I love my husband, but I am not in love with him and haven’t been for years. I would, of course, wait for my sons to go off to college before changing my life. Do you have any advice for me? — In Love With Another Man Dear In Love: Imagine your husband reconnecting with an old flame and deciding to leave you because you aren’t exciting anymore. Wouldn’t you want the opportunity to discuss it? To point out how it would hurt the children? To help him understand that 21 years together should mean something? We can assure you that six months of playing kissy-face is not the same as a day-to-day marriage. It’s easy to put effort and romance into a fling and believe it’s going to be like that forever. We understand that you are bored, but this is disrespectful to your marriage and your husband. Get counseling. See whether you can fix what’s making you unhappy before you make a mess of several lives, including your own. Dear Annie: Could you please educate people about the dangers of tossing their babies and toddlers up in the air? — Father of Five Dear Dad: Forceful or violent shaking, bouncing and tossing can cause brain or spinal damage in infants. This is known as shaken baby syndrome. However, very gentle tossing (less than a foot in the air) is usually safe, provided you don’t drop the child or hit his head on the ceiling or a light fixture, which happens more often than you might think. Pediatricians are divided on what age is OK, but the more conservative say to wait until the child is at least 2 years old. Dear Annie: “Puzzled in Gary, Ind.” asked why lesbians are attracted to older women with white hair. There could be another reason: the assumption that a woman is alone and might have assets to steal. This happened to my friend “Sue.” A pair of women began attending her church and wrangled an invitation to stay with Sue while “waiting for the paperwork to be finished on their new house.” They remained in their room when I visited. If I called, one of them answered the phone. If they left the house, they took Sue with them. After two weeks, Sue knocked on my door, quickly put her Bible in my hands and rushed back. In the Bible was a short note asking me to help her because she was afraid of her “guests.” I promptly called Sue’s son and daughter, who came to evict the intruders. These women had been trying to “help Sue” with her finances and were working on having their names added to her accounts. — California Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

By Phillip Alder Kin Hubbard, a journalist and humorist who died in 1930, said, “No matter how much strong black coffee we drink, almost any after-dinner speech will counteract it.” This deal centers on the black suits, one stronger than the other. Would you prefer to be in four spades or five clubs? Let’s assume that South is in four spades and West leads a diamond. East wins with his 10 and continues with the diamond ace. How should South continue after ruffing? The auction is difficult. South might rebid three clubs, not two hearts, because his hearts are so weak — but we love majors. North’s three diamonds is a game-forcing cue-bid. Then, when South shows club support, North might well bid game in that suit. Five clubs makes unless East leads a trump, which is feasible when South shows a three-suited hand. But if East starts with the diamond ace before shifting to a club, North wins in his hand, ruffs a diamond in the dummy (South), plays a heart to his ace, ruffs another diamond, leads a heart to the king, draws trumps, tries unsuccessfully to drop the spade queen and claims, conceding one heart. In four spades, South should plan on losing two spades and one diamond. He draws two rounds of trumps and turns to the clubs. West ruffs the third round and leads a diamond, but South ruffs, plays a heart to the king and discards a heart on the next club. The contract makes. Did you notice that East missed a nigh-impossible defense? If he had shifted to a heart at trick two, it would have removed a key dummy entry.

Komaroff, M.D. DEAR DOCTOR K: Recently I've been feeling sad and tired. My doctor doesn't think I'm depressed, but I know something's not right. What could it be? DEAR READER: Doctors typically define diseases by how they appear in their most extreme form. I call it the "tip of the iceberg" phenomenon. For example, you don't have diabetes until your blood sugar reaches a certain level. You don't have lupus until you have a certain combination of symptoms, physical examination and laboratory abnormalities. The same with multiple sclerosis. Yet lots of people have "pre-diabetes": Their blood sugar levels are not high enough to qualify for the diagnosis of diabetes, but they have a higher risk than those without "pre-diabetes" to develop the disease in the future. And many people have illnesses with some feature of ') %9>9F1> @EB@<5 - 1ED? 7??4 D9B5C 25CD ?665B 1<< 1C; 6?B 5>>9C ?B ?B *1<5 +?I?D1 ?B?<<1 $ '>5 ?G>5B 5H35<<5>D 3?> 49D9?> By Dave Green YOU CAN FIND YOUR WAY OUT OF 'ALMOST DEPRESSION' lupus or multiple sclerosis. Sometimes they go on to develop the full-blown disease, and sometimes not. The same is true with depression. In between a state of positive well-being and full-blown major depression lies a large gray area of persistent negative mood. A newly emerging term for this gray area is "almost depression." If you are almost depressed, you experience some symptoms of clinical depression, but your symptoms are not intense, frequent or persistent enough to be diagnosed as major depression. Still, these symptoms negatively impact your quality of life. And they affect your mood, perception, thought processes, emotions, physical condition, motivation, work performance and social life. Almost depression is not something you can simply "snap out of." Here's a quick quiz to help determine whether you're almost depressed. Check all statements that describe how you've been feeling in the past month: -- I'm frustrated over little things that don't usually bother me. -- I've been avoiding my friends. -- I have not been sleeping well lately. -- Nothing tastes very good these days. -- I'd like to just "stop the world" and get off for a while. -- Nothing seems very funny to me. -- Nothing seems very interesting or exciting to me lately. -- My fuse seems shorter than it used to 3 -- I'd really like just to be left alone. -- I have trouble concentrating on a book or TV show. -- I just feel tired all the time for no reason. If you checked off two or more statements, you may fall somewhere on the depression spectrum. The good news is that you can get your life back. One place to start is with an informative new book called "Almost Depressed," written by my Harvard colleagues Dr. Jefferson B. Prince and Dr. Shelley Carson. In this book, Drs. Prince and Carson discuss proven strategies to help improve your mood, renew your energy and restore your spirit. You can find more information about the book at my website, below. If you think you might be depressed, but your doctor says you don't meet the criteria for depression, don't let that mean that there is nothing to be done for you. You can get help.

CLASSIFIEDS DAILY GLOBE 14 l FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2013 Protect your winter landscape from hungry wildlife By MELINDA MYERS There’s no doubt that managing critters in the landscape can be a challenge especially as food supplies start to dwindle. If you are battling with rabbits, deer, groundhogs or other wildlife, don’t let down your guard as the growing season begins to wind down. Be proactive. Start before they get into the habit of dining on your landscape. It is easier to keep them away than break the dining habit. Fence them out. Fencing is the best defense against most wildlife. A four feet tall fence around a small garden will keep out rabbits. Secure the bottom tight to the ground or bury it several inches to prevent rabbits and voles from crawling underneath. Or fold the bottom of the fence outward, making sure it’s tight to the ground. Animals tend not to crawl under when the bottom skirt faces away from the garden. Go deeper, at least 12 to 18 inches, if you are trying to discourage woodchucks. And make sure the gate is secure. Many hungry animals have found their way into the garden through openings around and under the gate. A five foot fence around small garden areas can help safeguard your plantings against hungry deer. Some gardeners report success surrounding their garden with fishing line mounted on posts at one and three foot heights. Break out the repellents. Homemade and commercial repellents can be used. Apply before the animals start feeding and reapply as directed. Consider using a natural product like Messina’s Animal Stopper (Messinas.com). It is made of herbs, safe to use and smells good. Scare ‘em away. Blow up owls, clanging pans, rubber snakes, slivers of deodorant soap, handfuls of human hair and noise makers are scare tactics that have been used by gardeners for years. Consider your environment when selecting a tactic. Urban animals are used to the sound and smell of people. Alternate scare tactics for more effective control. The animals won’t be afraid of a snake that hasn’t moved in weeks. Combine tactics. Use a mix of fencing, scare tactics and repellents. Keep monitoring for damage. If there are enough animals and they are hungry, they will eat just about anything. Don’t forget about nature. Welcome hawks and fox into your landscape. Using less pesticides and tolerating some critters, their food source, will encourage them to visit your yard. These natural pest controllers help keep the gardenmunching critters under control. And most importantly, don’t give up. A bit of persistence, variety and adaptability is the key to success. Investing some time now will not only deter existing critters from dining in your landscape, but will also reduce the risk of animals moving in next season.

No longer restrained by oldschool ideals for juvenile decor, these spaces now feature elements that transcend genres and traditional gender themes. Decorators and retailers offer options that fling the design doors wide open — and how much fun is that for a child? So let’s check out what’s cool, cozy and clever for kid’s rooms. New York designer Amanda Nisbet uses elements like pop art, ‘70s modern furniture, and crisp, energetic hues like bright yellow, soda orange and magenta to make bedrooms lively, friendly and fun. (www.amandanisbetdesign.com ) Nancy Twomey of Alexandria, Va., blends neutral hues with dashes of gentle color — soft coral, sea blue, fresh pea green — and adds whimsical notes such as mirrored rabbit decals, papier mache safari animal wall art and ceramic tree stump tables to create charming, sophisticated rooms that children could enjoy from crib to college. (www.finniansmoon.com ) Associated Press A YOUNG boy’s love of cars works well to decorate his bedroom and looks chic and contemporary. In modern families, some kids divide their sleeping time between a couple of households, often in rooms that serve another function when the child isn’t there. Providing such spaces requires a little extra thought and ingenuity, says Ikea North America’s U.S. design leader, Josee Berlin. The aim is to help children feel at ease in their sleeping area. “A child’s own space can be as simple as a soft, comfortable, cozy bed. Smart options like the old-fashioned, tried and true bunk bed can really transform a space for many children,” Berlin says. Ikea’s Kritter, Gulliver and Hemnes models would serve well as daybeds. A curtained rod can divide rooms like offices or large bedrooms into smaller spaces for young visitors. Get something comfy underfoot — a fluffy, fun shag or a warm, flat-weave rug. If carpeting isn’t an option, heat the bedroom floors from below. It’s best not to make the theme of a child’s room too narrow, says Jami Supsic, an editor at Country Living magazine. “A stumbling block for many when they design their child’s rooms is that they make it all about the time period the child’s in at that moment. This leaves no room for growth or change,” she says. “Use accessories and toys to identify the age of your child, but leave walls, window treatments and furnishings mature.” If your daughter loves princesses, don’t buy everything from bedding to wallpaper — go with an overall look that suggests the theme. Supsic says ruffles, damask and crystals do the job. “They say girly girl, without saying baby girl,” she says. French chateau-inspired furnishings — chandeliers, mirrors, rugs and furniture — set the stage. You can add tiara-emblazoned pillows, regal doll houses, and other toys and accessories. Editing over time will honor an early obsession, yet reflect her developing maturity. Associated Press A YOUNG girl’s room, as seen in Country Living magazine, features headboards upholstered in a sophisticated ikat print. Add bright, poppy, teen colors to elegant, worldly textiles for upholstered headboards great for a non-adult’s room. Kids who love magical-themed stories might like animal- or star-shaped table lamps, moody hues like deep violet or charcoal gray, and inventive and modular furniture that suggests a place of enchantment. Imagine Living has a bear-shaped side table, and another that looks like a mushroom. One can imagine being down Alice’s rabbit hole, or on the road to Hogwarts. For boys who love dinosaurs or ships, consider framing the bedroom in colors that evoke that interest — a palette of greens and grays, perhaps, or oceanic blues and whites. Layer in cre- ative elements that spark imagination. Reptile fans might love some of the photographic nature posters at zazzle.com . Cool dino heads, wall-mounted sculptural art for any age, are at www.modcloth.com . Graphic imagery and patterns with a modern vibe can be found in nautical elements like wallmounted anchors and sail flags, as well as shell shadow boxes and seashore-inspired decals. “An upholstered headboard in a boy’s room can be masculine and tailored, yet soft and comforting”, says Supsic. Check out Land of Nod for eye- catching collections that reference themes kids relate to: Woodland Fairytale, Vintage Explorer, and Black & White tap into storybook, adventure and artistic imagery. Inspire an interest in the big wide world with tribal patterned bedding, pieces of African or Asian art, and accessories that open children’s minds to the globe. A collection of elephants on a bookcase; a recycled toy basket made halfway across the world; an origami mobile. Exposing children to other cultures just may be the most modern design move we can make.
