By RALPH ANSAMI [email protected]HURLEY — Hurley School Board members often ask ques- tions of students during their regular monthly meetings, but on Monday the shoe was on the other foot. Board members were inter- viewed by student journalist Tom Lardinois for the Hurley School Notebook Show that is heard Thursdays at 6:25 p.m. on WUPM-FM Radio. “Live, from the Hurley School Board...,” Lardinois began the program, although it isn’t quite live. The program includes news, sports, an ad and an interview. Each of the five board mem- bers was asked a question by Lardinois on Monday. Board member Dave Pajula, of Montreal, pointed to the suc- cess of the district’s one-on-one laptop program in his com- ments and board president Joe Simonich, of Kimball, explained how the district has had to cut about $2 million out of its bud- get over the past decade because of dwindling state aid funding. Student advisor Steve Eder said the recorded program is edited and sent to WUPM, ready to be broadcast. He said Lardinois has become so profi- cient in all facets of the produc- tion that “he can do it all him- self.” Among the guests to be inter- viewed was Tony Evers, state superintendent of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruc- INDEX Business . . . . . . . . . .11 Classifieds . . . . . .10-11 Comics . . . . . . . . . . . .9 Community . . . . . . . . .3 Obituaries . . . . . . . . . .6 Opinion . . . . . . . . . . . .4 Sports . . . . . . . . . . . .7-8 INSIDE GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL Hurley loses in tournament opener against Solon Springs — Sports page 7 WEATHER TODAY Few showers —Details, page 2 CONTACT US Daily Globe Inc. 118 E.

By RICHARD JENKINS [email protected]BESSEMER — An Ironwood man, who was found guilty on six drug and gun charges in Decem- ber, was sentenced to a total of 11 years in prison Tuesday in Gogebic County Circuit Court. Donovan Howard Payeur, 32, was sentenced to between nine and 30 years for the charges of possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver and con- spiracy to possess meth with intent to deliver. The maximum sentences were increased from the standard 20 years due to a habitual offender designation. He received 516 days credit for time already served in jail. Gogebic County Circuit Judge Michael Pope also sentenced Payeur to the two years mandat- ed by law for the charge of felony firearm. According to Pope, the law stipulates Payeur doesn’t get credit for time served and this sentence must be completed before beginning the sentence for the other charges. Pope also sentenced Payeur to four to 7.5 years in prison for possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of ammunition by a felon. These two sentences will be served concurrently to the two meth charges, meaning they don’t extend Payeur’s sentence further. Evers, Holtz advance in primary race MADISON, Wis. — Two-term incumbent state Superintendent Tony Evers will face former Beloit superintendent Lowell Holtz in the April 4 election to be the state’s top education official, after the two longtime educators advanced in Tuesday’s primary. Former Dodgeville administra- tor John Humphries, who tried to cast himself as more conserva- tive than Evers but more biparti- san than Holtz, was eliminated. The statewide results were mirrored in Iron County, where Evers took first place easily with 344 votes to Holtz’s 106 votes. Humphries rounded out the trio with 43 votes in the county. The race to head the state Department of Public Instruc- tion is officially nonpartisan, but Democrats and their allies back Evers while Holtz has the sup- port of two dozen Republican lawmakers and conservative groups. Holtz, who branded him- self as “kidservative,” touted the fact that he was the only one of the three candidates who did not sign the petition to recall GOP Gov. Scott Walker from office in 2012. That recall was spurred by anger of the law Walker champi- oned that all but eliminated col- lective bargaining for public school teachers and other public workers, and forced them to pay more for their health insurance and pension benefits. Holtz favors expanding Wis- consin’s private school voucher program and wants to repeal the Common Core academic stan- dards, two things that Evers opposes. Evers captured 64 percent of the vote, based on unofficial returns. Holtz followed with 30 percent and Humphries had 6 percent. Wisconsin snowmobile death toll reaches 14 By RALPH ANSAMI [email protected]The winter snowmobile fatality toll in Wisconsin rose to 14 last week with two deaths on Feb. 12. That’s almost double the deaths that were recorded last winter. The latest fatalities were reported in Clark and Florence counties, according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. In the Florence County accident, a 36- year-old man fell off the snowmobile he was riding and was run over by a groomer that was approaching from the opposite direction on a hill, according to a DNR report. The 14 people had died through Feb. 17, the last day the DNR’s fatality reports were updated. A fatal accident occurred on Friday, Feb. 10, on Pike Lake in the town of Fifield, according to the Price County Sheriff’s Department. Two snowmobiles collided while crossing the lake. Tyler Trotterschaude, 31, of Park Falls, was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the other snowmobile was transported by ambulance to Flam- beau Hospital in Park Falls and was later transferred to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield. Two of the fatalities occurred in Iron County, near Hurley and at Saxon Harbor. The WDNR now includes estimated speeds for the accident summaries. The snowmobiler at Saxon Harbor was travel- ing around 40 mph along Harbor Drive when his snowmobile slid out of control into trees. Alcohol was not a factor. In a Jan. 17 fatality in Minocqua, the snowmobiler struck a fixed object at an estimated speed of 88 mph, according to a DNR summary. The driver’s alcohol con- tent in that accident was .225, or almost three times the level used to determine intoxication. A year ago, the fatality count stood at eight. The ninth and last fatal accident of the year occurred on Feb. 26 in Bayfield County when an intoxicated snowmobiler struck another vehicle. Hurley School Board grilled for radio show By IAN MINIELLY [email protected]BESSEMER — The Gogebic County Forestry and Parks Commission manages over 50,000 acres of land in Gogebic county.

As the volume in acres increased, the commission was formed and is a completely self- supporting program that is a net boon to the county. Ryskey said much of the land is on its second cutting, some is on its third, but there are also virgin stands in the counties acreage.

Hundreds rescued from Californiafloodwaters in San Jose
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Res-cuers chest-deep in water steeredboats full of people, some withbabies and pets, from a San Joseneighborhood inundated Tues-day by water from an overflow-ing creek.Further north, farmers used
tractors to shore up an endan-gered levee in California’s agri-cultural heartland, officialsopened a spillway at the DonPedro reservoir for the first timein 20 years, and a Sierra Nevadahighway threatened to collapseafter the latest downpoursswelled waterways, leaving near-ly half of the state under floodadvisories.In San Jose, at least 225 resi-
dents were taken to dry land andrinsed with soap and water toprevent them from being sick-ened by floodwaters from theCoyote Creek that had traveledthrough engine fuel, garbage,debris and over sewer lines, SanJose Fire Capt. Mitch Matlowsaid.Rescuers went door-to-door
searching for people who neededto leave the neighborhood. Onlyresidents who could prove theyhad been cleaned of the floodwa-ters were allowed to board busesto shelters.“The water started to seep in
the driveway, and then it startedto creep up into the front door. Itkept getting worse and worse,”said Alex Hilario, who walked inknee-high water to get to his carand leave the area.“We didn’t get a chance to get
anything out,” Hilario added.Bobby Lee, 15, said he was
rescued with his brother and par-ents, who took clothes, electron-ics and some photos from theirhome in a neighborhood thatended up littered with sub-merged cars.“This is like once-in-a-life-
time,” Lee said.Earlier Tuesday, firefighters
rescued five people stranded byflooding at a homeless campalong the same creek in SanJose.Firefighters knocked on doors
to tell residents to get out of theirhomes because the city does nothave sirens or another emergen-cy warning system, San Josespokesman David Vossbrinksaid.The rains were the latest pro-
duced by a series of storms gen-erated by so-called atmosphericrivers that dump massive quan-tities of Pacific Ocean water onCalifornia after carrying it aloftfrom as far away as Hawaii.In the Sierra Nevada moun-
tain range, part of Highway 50,one of the main routes to LakeTahoe, was in danger of collaps-ing after a roadway shouldergave way following heavystorms, leaving a gaping holeabout 40 feet long and 17 feetwide, Caltrans engineer JarrettWoodruff said.Crews opened one lane open
Tuesday as Caltrans workerstried to fix the road failure afternumerous mudslides blocked itfor days at a time in recentweeks.Heavy storms over the last
two weeks caused parts of theshoulder and part of one lane on
the four-lane highway give way.In the San Joaquin Valley in
California’s agricultural heart-land, farmers used their tractorsand other heavy equipment tohelp shore up an endangeredlevee along the San JoaquinRiver.Some farmers took their trac-
tors and other equipment to thelevee to help shore it up, arrivingto fill a big breach within half anhour of noticing the break, saidalfalfa farmer Tony Coit.“The farmers ran it like a
boss,” he said, using soil from thelevee itself to fill in the 30-foot-wide break until they could truckin large rocks for more substan-tial repairs.The water level rose at Lake
Oroville for the first time sinceauthorities ordered an emergen-cy evacuation of 188,000 peoplemore than a week ago after adamaged spillway caused majorflooding concerns.The rains have saturated the
once-drought stricken region andwreaked havoc for residents hithard by the heavy rain. At leastfour people have died in thestorms throughout the state inthe last week.A motorist in Northern Cali-
fornia was swept into a creekSaturday during another in theseries of storms and drownedinside her car, the Los AngelesTimes reported Tuesday.Witnesses had seen the
woman driving around signsblocking the road near Orland,Undersheriff Todd James of theGlenn County Sheriff’s Officetold the newspaper.

MOLLY HITT, of Boston, displays an American flag while standing in front of a memorial to the Irish potatofamine, right, during a rally called “We Will Persist,” Tuesday, in Boston. According to organizers the rallywas held to send a message to Republicans in Congress and the administration of President Donald Trumpthat they will continue to press for immigration rights and continued affordable healthcare coverage.
Millions targeted for possibledeportation under Trump rulesWASHINGTON (AP) — Mil-
lions of people living in the Unit-ed States illegally could be tar-geted for deportation — includ-ing people simply arrested fortraffic violations — under asweeping rewrite of immigrationenforcement policies announcedTuesday by the Trump adminis-tration.Any immigrant who is in the
country illegally and is chargedor convicted of any offense, oreven suspected of a crime, willnow be an enforcement priority,according to Homeland SecurityDepartment memos signed bySecretary John Kelly. That couldinclude people arrested forshoplifting or minor offenses —or simply having crossed the bor-der illegally.The Trump administration
memos replace more narrowguidance focusing on immigrantswho have been convicted of seri-ous crimes, are consideredthreats to national security orare recent border crossers.Under the Obama administra-
tion guidance, immigrants whoseonly violation was being in thecountry illegally were generallyleft alone. Those immigrants fallinto two categories: those whocrossed the border without per-mission and those who over-stayed their visas.Crossing the border illegally is
a criminal offense, and the newmemos make clear that thosewho have done so are included inthe broad list of enforcement pri-orities.Overstaying a visa is a civil,
not criminal, offense. Those whodo so are not specifically includedin the priority list but, under the
memos, they are still more likelyto face deportation than they hadbeen before.The new enforcement docu-
ments are the latest efforts byPresident Donald Trump to fol-low through on campaignpromises to strictly enforceimmigration laws. He’s alsopromised to build a wall at theMexican border — he insistsMexico will eventually foot thebill — and Kelly’s memos reiter-ate calls for Homeland Securityto start planning for the costsand construction.Trump’s earlier immigration
orders, which banned allrefugees as well as foreignersfrom seven Muslim-majoritycountries, have faced widespreadcriticism and legal action. A fed-eral appeals court has upheld atemporary halt.Kelly’s enforcement plans call
for enforcing a longstanding butobscure provision of immigrationlaw that allows the governmentto send some people caught ille-gally crossing the Mexican bor-der back to Mexico, regardless ofwhere they are from. Those for-eigners would wait in that coun-try for U.S. deportation proceed-ings to be complete. This wouldbe used for people who aren’tconsidered a threat to cross theborder illegally again, the memosays.That provision is almost cer-
tain to face opposition from civillibertarians and Mexican offi-cials, and it’s unclear whetherthe United States has theauthority to force Mexico toaccept third-country nationals.But the memo also calls forHomeland Security to provide an
account of U.S. aid to Mexico, apossible signal that Trump plansto use that funding to get Mexicoto accept the foreigners.Historically, the U.S. has
quickly repatriated Mexicannationals caught at the borderbut has detained immigrantsfrom other countries pendingdeportation proceedings thatcould take years.Mexico’s new ambassador to
the U.S., Geronimo Gutierrez,called the policy changes “some-thing very serious.” In a hearingTuesday with Mexican senators,he said, “Obviously, they are acause for concern for the foreignrelations department, for theMexican government, and for allMexicans.”The memos do not change U.S.
immigration laws, but take a farharder line toward enforcement.One example involves broader
use of a program that fast-tracksdeportations. It will now beapplied to immigrants who can-not prove they have been in theUnited States longer than twoyears. It’s unclear how manyimmigrants that could include.Since at least 2002 that fast
deportation effort — which doesnot require a judge’s order — hasbeen used only for immigrantscaught within 100 miles of theborder, within two weeks ofcrossing illegally.The administration also plans
to expand immigration jailcapacity. Currently HomelandSecurity has money and space tojail 34,000 immigrants at a time.It’s unclear how much anincrease would cost, butCongress would have to approveany new spending.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A fed-eral judge ruled Tuesday thatTexas can’t cut off Medicaid dol-lars to Planned Parenthood oversecretly recorded videos taken byanti-abortion activists in 2015that launched Republican effortsacross the U.S. to defund thenation’s largest abortionprovider.An injunction issued by U.S.
District Sam Sparks of Austincomes after he delayed makingdecision in January and essen-tially bought Planned Parent-hood an extra month in thestate’s Medicaid program.Texas is now at least the sixth
state where federal courts havekept Planned Parenthood eligi-ble for Medicaid reimbursementsfor non-abortion services,although a bigger questionremains over whether PresidentDonald Trump will federallydefund the organization.Sparks’ decision preserves
what Planned Parenthood saysare cancer screenings, birth con-trol access and other health ser-vices for nearly 11,000 low-income women at 30 clinics.Texas originally intended to bootPlanned Parenthood in Januarybut Sparks told the state to waitpending his ruling. Arkansas,
Alabama, Kansas, Mississippiand Louisiana have also had sim-ilar efforts blocked.Sparks’ unsparing opinion
excoriated Texas for not provid-ing “any evidence” of PlannedParenthood wrongdoing andstalling on the ouster for nearly ayear.“A secretly recorded video,
fake names, a grand jury indict-ment, congressional investiga-tions — these are the buildingblocks of a best-selling novelrather than a case concerningthe interplay of federal and stateauthority through the Medicaidprogram,” Sparks wrote. “Yet,rather than a villain plotting totake over the world, the subjectof this case is the State of Texas’sefforts to expel a group of healthcare providers from a socialhealth care program for familiesand individuals with limitedresources.”Like in other states, Texas
health officials accused PlannedParenthood officials of makingmisrepresentation to investiga-tors following the release ofsecretly recorded and heavilyedited videos by an anti-abortiongroup last year. Investigationsby 13 states into those videoshave concluded without criminal
charges, and Planned Parent-hood officials have denied anywrongdoing.Republican Texas Attorney
General Ken Paxton said thestate intends to appeal in a state-ment that repeated accusationsthat Planned Parenthood manip-ulated the timing of abortions tobenefit researchers. PlannedParenthood has denied thoseclaims, and Sparks said therewas no evidence the organizationviolated ethical or medical stan-dards.“No taxpayer in Texas should
have to subsidize this repugnantand illegal conduct. We shouldnever lose sight of the fact that,as long as abortion is legal in theUnited States, the potential forthese types of horrors will contin-ue,” Paxton said in a statement.A Houston grand jury indicted
two activists behind the videosover how they covertly gainedaccess inside a Planned Parent-hood clinic, but a judge later dis-missed the charges.Planned Parenthood serves
only a fraction of the 4.3 millionpeople enrolled in Medicaid inTexas, but Sparks said he wasnot convinced that its clientswould quickly and easily be ableto find new providers.
NEW YORK (AP) — “TheGreat Wall” was a hit in China.In North America, it was a dud.The most expensive film ever
made in China and with a budgetof $150 million, “The Great Wall”was intended to prove that theworld’s No. 2 movie marketplacecould produce Hollywood-sizedblockbusters of its own. Thoughit ran up $171 million in ticketsales in China, “The Great Wall”pulled in $18.1 million in itsNorth American debut over Pres-idents Day weekend, according tostudio estimates Sunday.That was good enough for
third place, falling behind lastweekend’s top two films, “TheLego Batman” and “Fifty ShadesDarker.” The Warner Bros. ani-mated release easily led the boxoffice again with $34.2 million inits second week, sliding only 35percent. Universal’s “FiftyShades Darker” sold $21 millionin tickets in its second week. Theerotic sequel continues to playwell overseas, where it led inter-national business with $43.7 mil-lion over the weekend.Slammed by critics, “The
Great Wall” didn’t measure up toits initial ambitions. It was pro-duced by Legendary Entertain-ment, which has since beenacquired by Chinese conglomer-ate Wanda Group. The film,directed by Zhang Yimou, origi-nated with an idea by Legendarychief executive Thomas Tull, whoexited the company last month.But “The Great Wall” isn’t a
bomb. It has made $244.6 millionoverseas and performed over theweekend in North Americaslightly better than some punditsexpected.“This is absolutely a strategy
that’s worldwide,” said Nick Car-pou, distribution chief for Uni-versal. “Worldwide, we are one ofmany markets.”Universal could still claim
four of the top 10 films, the othertwo being “A Dog’s Purpose”($5.6 million in its fourth week)and “Split” ($7 million in its fifthweek), so far the top film of 2017.More East-West productions
like “The Great Wall” are sure tofollow. Studios already regularlypartner with Chinese film com-panies on everything from
“Transformers: Age of Extinc-tion” to “Warcraft,” a flop in theU.S. and Canada with $47.4 million,but a $220.8 million hit in China.Films like “The Great Wall”
and “Warcraft,” however, provethat finding the right balancebetween American and Chinesetastes remains a difficult balanc-ing act.For Paul Dergarabedian,
senior media analyst for com-Score, the more significant factorfor “The Great Wall” wasn’t itsmulti-national origins but itsRotten Tomatoes rating: a dismal36 percent “fresh.”Two other new releases, both
from 20th Century Fox, alsofailed to catch on. The comedy“Fist Fight,” starring Ice Cubeand Charlie Day as feuding high-school teachers, opened with $12million.Estimated ticket sales for Fri-
day through Sunday at U.S. andCanadian theaters include: 1. “The Batman Lego Movie,”
$34.2 million ($21.5 millioninternational).2. “Fifty Shades Darker,” $21
million ($43.7 million interna-
tional).3. “The Great Wall,” $18.1 mil-
lion ($19 million international).4. “John Wick: Chapter 2,”

In Their Opinion
The Green Bay City Council recently discussed spend-ing $80,000 to repair or replace a 9/11 monument that’s in“horrible condition.”The Holmen Village Board in La Crosse County
approved $34,085 for two pickups, $4,500 for a digitalcamera, and $2,600 for a radar gun.The Beaver Dam School Board committed $75,000 for
Chromebooks for staff.The DeForest Village Board approved an agreement
with Dane County to reconstruct Highway CV.All of that information — and so much more —
appeared Thursday and Friday in meeting minutes pub-lished by local governments in local newspapers.You might not care about some or any of those details
if you don’t live in those communities. But if you did,those decisions could significantly affect you and yourfamily.That’s why school districts, counties and municipalities
are required by state law to publish — at a discount —the minutes of their meetings in their local newspapers.The Wisconsin Newspaper Association also publishes thenotices and a slew of other community announcements onits searchable and free website:wisconsinpublicnotices.org.The notices are a public service to the hundreds of
thousands of citizens who read local newspapers in printand online across Wisconsin, as well as anyone who iscurious and has access to the internet.The result of wide dissemination of this public infor-
mation — where it is easy to find — is a more involvedand knowledgeable citizenry that knows what’s going onwith public money and policy.Unfortunately, Gov. Scott Walker and some misguided
state lawmakers want to hide much of this informationwhere it’s hard for voters to find. They are pushingchanges in the state budget and separate legislation thatwould bury meeting minutes and other public noticesabout local ordinances and budgets on obscure, often con-fusing and bureaucratic government websites.Instead of just picking up your local newspaper and
seeing all of the actions your local leaders are taking —including those that don’t lead to news coverage and bigheadlines — citizens will have to search the internet hop-ing to find more detail about government budgets anddecisions.The politicians claim this will save a little money
because local governments won’t have to pay for as manynotices in newspapers. What they don’t say is publicaccess to government will be diminished. And that’s justwhat the politicians want, because fewer notices willmean less scrutiny and accountability for their actions.Over time, that will only lead to greater spending andwaste, not less.The full Legislature should reject Assembly Bill 70 and
Senate Bill 42, which will reduce government trans-parency. Lawmakers also should strip from the governor’sbudget any language limiting publication of governmentmeetings and actions.

By The Associated PressToday’s Highlight in HistoryOn Feb. 22, 1732 (New Style
date), the first president of the Unit-ed States, George Washington, wasborn in Westmoreland County in theVirginia Colony.
On this dateIn 1862, Jefferson Davis, already
the provisional president of the Con-federacy, was inaugurated for a six-year term following his election inNov. 1861.In 1892, “Lady Windermere’s
Fan” by Oscar Wilde was first per-formed at London’s St. James’ The-ater.In 1909, the Great White Fleet, a
naval task force sent on a round-the-world voyage by President TheodoreRoosevelt, returned after more thana year at sea.In 1924, President Calvin
Coolidge delivered the first radiobroadcast from the White House ashe addressed the country over 42stations.In 1935, it became illegal for air-
planes to fly over the White House.In 1940, the 14th Dalai Lama,
Tenzin Gyatso, was enthroned atage four in Lhasa, Tibet.In 1959, the inaugural Daytona
500 race was held; although JohnnyBeauchamp was initially declaredthe winner, the victory was laterawarded to Lee Petty.In 1967, more than 25,000 U.S.
and South Vietnamese troopslaunched Operation Junction City,aimed at smashing a Vietcongstronghold near the Cambodian bor-der. (Although the communists weredriven out, they later returned.)In 1974, Pakistan officially recog-
nized Bangladesh (formerly EastPakistan).In 1980, the “Miracle on Ice” took

Today in history
Time for Trump to hit campaign trailPresident Trump’s many critics say his
young administration is a hot mess. Hisdefenders say Trump has accomplished morein three weeks than many presidents do inyears.At the moment Trump is in what might be
called the executive-action phase of his pres-idency. Beyond fighting for his Cabinetappointments on Capitol Hill, everythingTrump has done has relied solely on his exec-utive power as president. At some point he’llhave to move into a legislative phase, withthe introduction of bills dealing with healthcare, taxes, immigration, and more.But for now, Trump has a number of exec-
utive actions to point to: orders to 1) reducethe regulatory burdens of Obamacare; 2)freeze federal hiring; 3) pull the UnitedStates out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership;4) approve the Keystone XL and DakotaAccess pipelines; 5) strengthen enforcementof the nation’s immigration laws; 6) authorizeplanning for a U.S.-Mexico border wall; 7)tighten White House ethics rules; 8) reducethe number of federal regulations; 9) weakenDodd-Frank financial regulations; and 10)temporarily suspend immigration from someterrorism-plagued nations.It’s a pretty solid list. The last, called a
“Muslim ban” by detractors, has attractedthe most attention — and litigation. But each item on Trump’s list would be
worth a White House rollout and promotioncampaign.Instead, Trump threw them out in a fire-
hose of appearances, tweets, and controversy.And Trump regularly distracted from hisown message by doing something to set offwhat might be called the Daily Agitation —the frenzy of media and opposition politiciansreacting to whatever the president has saidmost recently.Now, Trump is preparing more action.
(And in the case of the immigration suspen-sion, action to repair the first action.) If hisfirst weeks in office have taught the newpresident anything, it is that far-reachingpresidential directives are complicatedthings and need care and preparation. SoTrump appears ready to slow the process ofintroducing new actions.And while he is doing that, what would
most benefit Trump would be to sell what hehas already done.During the campaign, Trump developed a
fondness for performing in front of big rallies.By many reports, he didn’t love the drudgerythat accompanied campaigning, but he likedthe rallies.Why not start holding rallies again? It’s
not unusual for presidents to take to the cam-paign trail to promote their initiatives. Allpresidents have done it, from their post-State-of-the-Union tours to campaigning forspecific initiatives, like Obamacare (success-fully for President Obama) and Social Securi-ty reform (unsuccessfully for PresidentBush). So hitting the trail would be nothingunusual for Trump.A leader explains what he is doing, and
then explains again, and then explains again.Campaigning for his initiatives would giveTrump the vehicle to explain an impressiveset of actions.Trump’s immigration enforcement order,
for example, is a remarkable change in direc-tion for the nation’s border and interiorenforcement. The ending of so-called “catch-and-release” policies, the speeding up ofdeportations of criminal illegal immigrants,the crackdown on sanctuary cities — all ofthat could play well in parts of the countrythat voted heavily for Trump. Why notarrange a presidential visit or two?Likewise, Trump’s orders on regulations,
federal hiring, and Dodd-Frank represent apackage of actions Trump could tout as notonly easing the burden of government onbusinesses but helping to create the jobsTrump promised in the campaign. Why nothave the president tout them in those RustBelt states that put him over the top last
November?Then there is the Trans-Pacific Partner-
ship order, and Trump’s pledge to re-openNAFTA. Those, too, are worth some presi-dential campaign stops.As for Trump’s litigation-magnet order
temporarily halting non-Americans fromentering the U.S. from seven troubled coun-tries — the White House has clearly suggest-ed that it ultimately plans to amend orrewrite the order to fix some of its legalweaknesses. When that is done, Trumpwould do well to campaign for that order, too.While the courts work on a separate track,public support would be a huge benefit forTrump, and by aggressively defending a rea-sonable national security measure, he couldput his critics on the defensive, or at leastforce them to focus on the substance of theorder.Of course, Trump rallies will attract
protesters. Indeed, the Trump adversarieswho now style themselves The Resistancewould like to shut down any Trump appear-ance. But the president has the best securityin the world. It can keep the worst elementsout. Of course, Trump will have hecklers who
interrupt his speech. But as the presidentoutlines a solid and reasonable policy, as amatter of optics it would not hurt to have ascreaming maniac trying to shut him down.And if there are crowds outside harassing
attendees, trying to stop traffic, and makinglife miserable for people nearby? That would-n’t hurt Trump a bit, either.In more than a year on the trail, Trump
improved as a campaigner. After deliveringwildly improvisational performances in theearly months of the campaign, candidateTrump developed a style in which he used adlibs to embellish a Teleprompter speech witha focused message. He undoubtedly remem-bers how to do it.Facing united Democratic opposition, a
Trump resistance wing within the GOP, anda mostly hostile media, Trump, after justweeks in the White House, is in a politicalfight for survival. The campaign stump is oneof his most effective weapons.

ones.” — President George Washington (1732-1799)

LANSING (AP) — MichiganHouse Republicans on Tuesdaysignificantly revised their incometax cut plan, proposing to dropthe 4.25 percent rate to 3.9 per-cent over four years and nolonger calling for the tax to bephased out entirely over decades.Legislation that cleared a
committee last week would havecut the tax to 3.9 percent in 2018,saving taxpayers $680 million inthe next fiscal year and $1.1 bil-lion the following year, accordingto the nonpartisan House FiscalAgency. The bill also would haveeliminated the tax by 2057.Under the new version, the
tax would drop by one-tenth of apercentage point annually from2018 through 2020 and then 0.05percentage points in 2021. Anexisting law that provides forpotential year reductions start-ing in 2023 — if general fundsoutplace inflation by a minimumamount — would stay intact.A final vote was not taken,
however, an indication that themajority was still short ofenough support to send the legis-lation to the GOP-led Senate.The House could vote as early asWednesday. Republican Gov.Rick Snyder earlier Tuesdayagain expressed “serious con-cerns” with cutting the incometax.“This is about what’s simple
vs. what’s complicated,” the billsponsor, Republican Rep. Lee
Chatfield of Levering, said of therevisions. “We believe the solu-tion that’s put before us ...achieves the simple goal of pro-viding tax relief across the state.”Before the changes were
made, more than half of Michi-gan’s 15 university presidentslobbied against the bill outsidethe House chamber. State sup-port for the schools is down $363million, or nearly 19 percent,from 15 years ago. Averagetuition costs were sixth-highestin the country last year, accord-ing to the Michigan League forPublic Policy.“Our fear is that if the
resources available to state gov-ernment are constrained by sucha large tax cut, we won’t be ableto maintain accessibility to agreat public higher education atthe same costs now. Families arealready struggling to pay for col-
lege, and we don’t want to makethose challenges greater,” saidUniversity of Michigan-AnnArbor President Mark Schlissel.He urged lawmakers to “slowdown” and fully consider the con-sequence of a tax cut that could“have a profound and adverseimpact on our state’s future.Snyder said at a Michigan
Farm Bureau event that he puts“fiscal responsibility at the fore-front of doing things.”He noted that as part of laws
that raised fuel taxes and vehicleregistration fees to improveroads and bridges, $600 millionannually will eventually be shift-ed from the general fund towardtransportation and homeownersand renters will get $200 millionin tax relief a year. He said thecurrent “one-time” budget sur-plus should instead be put intosavings.

Payeur was also sentenced to180 days, with credit for timeserved, for the misdemeanorcharge of possession of marijua-na.Prior to delivering his sen-
tence, Pope reviewed Payeur’scriminal record and made notethat he graduated high school,obtained a welding certificateand maintained steady employ-ment.“You had all the tools avail-
able to you to make the rightdecisions in life, and you chosenot to make the right decision,”Pope said. “You chose to come toGogebic County and possess withthe intent to deliver metham-phetamine.”The charges stem from a Sept.
24, 2015 incident at the EastCoolidge, Ironwood, housePayeur was living in.Ironwood Public Safety
Department officers originallyresponded to a noise complaintat the house in the early morn-ing hours of Sept. 24, accordingto testimony presented in thecase, but left after no one wouldopen the door without a war-rant. After leaving the scene ofthe noise complaint, officerstalked to two people having cartrouble at a nearby gas stationwho were at the house earlierand said drugs and a gun werepresent. The IPSD used thisinformation to obtain a searchwarrant for the house, whichresulted in the discovery of aTEC-9 handgun and drugs —including approximately 15grams of crystal meth.At the time the search war-
rant on the house was executed,local law enforcement officersalso conducted a nearby trafficstop on a vehicle Payeur wasdriving. Ammunition and mari-juana were among the items dis-covered during the stop.Payeur was one of four co-
defendants charged in the case.The other three — KristinaPayeur, Ryan Reinhard andJames Engles — all took pleaagreements and have previouslybeen sentenced.Kristina Payeur was sen-
tenced to six months jail and twoyears probation for possession ofmeth, Reinhard was sentenced to246 days in jail and two yearsprobation for possession ofammunition as a felon andEngles to nine months jail andone year of probation for posses-sion of meth.Prior to the sentencing; Chief
Assistant Prosecutor Tracie Wit-tla said while she expectedPayeur to plead for leniency, hisactions didn’t indicate hedeserved it.“There are defendants who
can make effective claims forleniency, but I don’t believe Mr.Payeur is in that category,” Wit-tla said. “He had a prior chanceat rehabilitation in the state ofWisconsin and he’s in constantdenial of his level of involvementin drugs in this county and thisstate.”Wittla brought up his past
criminal history; arguing whilehe hasn’t had any convictions asserious as the charges he wasbeing sentenced on, that didn’tdiminish that he intentionallymoved to Ironwood to becomeinvolved in the local drug scene.“The fact is he moved to this
county to sell methamphetaminebecause we’re a target-rich popu-lation,” she said. “There aremany people who use metham-phetamine, it’s a poison.”Wittla also attacked the idea
that leniency was appropriate sohe could be present in his kids’lives.“When he was their caregiver,
he made terrible decisions ontheir behalf,” she said, arguinghe moved them into a housewhere drugs and a gun were pre-sent. She asked for 10 years on the
drug charges and two years onthe gun charge, which fell inwhat Wittla said were the Michi-gan Department of Corrections’sentence recommendation of atotal minimum sentence betweennine and 17 years.Payeur’s attorney, Mark
McDonald, focused on Payeur’saddiction; saying it began withpills and only recently moved tometh.“Addiction is a disease, a dis-
ease beyond one’s control,”McDonald said.He also continued to dispute
the idea Payeur moved to thearea to deal drugs, arguing hewas simply an addict and wasn’there long enough to develop thecontacts needed to be a dealer.McDonald talked about the
importance of rehabilitatingcriminals into functioning mem-bers of society.“Isn’t that the ultimate goal?
To change the criminal lifestyle,to bring that individual to a law-abiding person,” McDonaldasked. “... Punishment alone isnot going to rehabilitate Dono-van.”An emotional Payeur also
asked Pope to give him a secondchance. “I’m asking you, I’m begging
you, please give me the chance toget some help and prove to every-body this isn’t who I am,” he saidthrough tears.He said he felt his drug abuse
was linked to being depressedand he wanted to turn his lifearound for his sons.“I want to see my children
grow into young men, I want tobe there for them,” he said. “(Iwant) to be the father they needand deserve.”

Managementactions ruffed grouse prefer areyoung aspen stands less than 25years old, providing roostingsites and buds for consumption.As a side benefit woodcock alsoprefer similar habitat to grouse,as do white-tailed deer andsnowshoe hares. According to management
actions, the GCFP intends to cre-ate 8 age classes for the differentaspen stands.The second goal of the GEM
management plan is to promotepreferred habitat for white-tailed
deer adjacent to the WinteringDeer Yard Complex. Nativeperennials are planted in four 1-2 acre wildlife openings to pro-vide spring, summer and winterforage.The result of the first two
plans is to create enhancedrecreational opportunities forhunting through a multi-prongedapproach:—Support a unique hunting
experience for walk-in grousehunting,—Maintain a trail system for
hunters and other users,—Establish partnerships to
assist in management of thearea. The GEM is only two years
old. As the more focused man-agement to improve habitat iscontinued and the differenttracts of land develop, Ryskeyexpects the wildlife willrespond.

Holtz survived a nasty fight inthe final days of the campaignwith Humphries over a breakfastmeeting they had in December.Humphries alleged that Holtzoffered him a $150,000 state joband broad authority that doesn’tcurrently exist to reorganize andtake over the state’s five largestschool districts if he dropped outof the race. Holtz saidHumphries was mischaracteriz-ing the meeting and that ideashe presented came from one ormore business leaders both can-didates refused to name.Both candidates accused one
another of lying.Evers is running for a third
term as state superintendent.
Holtz, a former teacher, princi-pal and superintendent, ranagainst Evers in 2009 but camein last in a five-person primary.This year, however, conserva-
tives were lining up behindHoltz, but no outside money hadyet to come into the race fromdeep-pocketed groups that favorexpansion of school choice pro-grams that Holtz backs.The winner will oversee the
Department of Public Instruc-tion, which runs K-12 educationpolicy, curriculum and programs,and administers state and feder-al aid for all 424 public schooldistricts. The department alsoworks with private schools in thechoice program and runs teacherlicensing and regulation.Holtz is calling for better dis-
cipline in schools to make class-rooms more safe and secure. Healso wants to increase local con-trol and empower teachers.

HURLEY’S BROOKE Piilola, bottom, and Solon Springs’ Morgan Anderson dive for a loose ball during Tuesday night’s WIAA Division 5 regional opener at the Hurley K-12 School.
Solon Springs upsets Midgettes in tourney openerBy JASON JUNO
HURLEY — Hurley may have wonthe two regular-season meetings againstSolon Springs; but a young Eagles teamgot the last laugh Tuesday night, beat-ing the Midgettes 39-32 in the WIAADivision 5 tournament opener.No. 7-seeded Hurley led by as many
as 11 points in the first half, but theyscored just 13 second-half points and No.10 Solon Springs went on a 10-2 run toend the game as Hurley’s year-longoffensive struggles became their undo-ing in the tournament.
“It was just a tough night for us,”Hurley coach Steve Lombardo said. “Itwas the same problem we’ve had in all ofour losses this season. We just go in toolong of spurts without being able toscore the basketball and it’ll cost you ingames like this.”Solon Springs, whose top three scor-
ers Tuesday night consisted of a fresh-man and two sophomores, improved to7-15 and goes to No. 2 seed Mercer Fri-day night.“I play with a lot of freshmen and
sophomores, so to get big wins like thisin close games is huge,” Solon Springs
coach Brian Amys said. The Midgettes looked to be in good
shape early on as they took an 18-7 leadon an 8-0 run, punctuated by a 3 fromAlli Olson and a transition layup byAiyana Nickel.“Early in the game we got a lot of
good looks,” Lombardo said. “We weregetting shooters out in the corners and ifthey came out to defend them, we wereable to get Aiyana some looks inside.”Solon Springs pulled within four at
the half, though, 19-15, and took theirfirst lead 2:15 into the second half.“The way we started the game, I
thought boy, if we could hit a coupleshots during that stretch and maybe getit out to a 15, 16-point lead, that mighthave been enough,” Lombardo said. “Butthey closed the half real strong. We sentthem to the foul line way too much anda 10-point lead turned into four and theyprobably felt very good in the lockerroom. You can’t give those teams thatmomentum and hope.”The Midgettes retook the lead on a
free throw by Brooke Piilola and a buck-et by Ally Rye. Rye’s shot put Hurleyahead 30-27 with three minutes left. ButSolon answered with a bucket and it was
30-29 Hurley.“I think Steve called a timeout and I
told the girls, ‘This is ours,’” Amys said.“We have to go back to what we do andthat’s driving to the basket.”Solon Springs went ahead on a put-
back by Dominique Orozco with 2:55left. But the dagger came with 2:33 to gowhen Kylli Rajala drained an open 3 toput the Eagles up 34-30.“We scored 13 points in the second
half; when they extended it to a four-point lead, it felt like it was 12,” Lom-
Mercer startstournament withwin over MellenMERCER, Wis. — Mercer won
easily 67-41 over Mellen Tuesdaynight and will host Solon SpringsFriday night in a WIAA Division5 regional semifinal.The No. 2-seeded Tigers rolled
past No. 15 Mellen Tuesdaynight. They were rusty to startafter not playing last week due toillness closing the school. Butthey still built a 28-15 first-halflead and played well in the sec-ond half.“We definitely struggled early
like I knew we would,” Mercercoach Shannon Hiller said. “Weturned it on towards the end ofthe first half and starting thesecond half. We started playinglike we have been playing. That’swhat I wanted to see. The girls Icould tell were fired up again,they were ready to play. They
just needed to get the rust off.”Caitlyn Hiller and Sydney
Thompson both had 19 points tolead Mercer. Gwen Allen scored15.Morgan Ellias led Mellen with
20 points and Mikayla Kret-zschmar had 12.Mercer (15-5) hasn’t played

WATERSMEET — Wakefield-Marenisco pulled away in the fourthquarter for a 63-47 Copper MountainConference victory over WatersmeetTuesday night.
The Nimrods were within five, 43-38, entering the fourth, but the Car-dinals outscored them 20-9.Watersmeet is down to just five play-ers.
“The bottom line is we ran out ofgas in the last quarter and that’sbeen the story of our year,”Watersmeet coach Brent Besonensaid. “When you get tired, you foul,get frustrated and panic on offense,especially when they hit a few shotson you.”
Bethany Baldwin had 41 pointsfor the Nimrods. Many of them cameon hard drives and fast breaks.
“Bethany had another greatgame,” Besonen said. “I know she’drather sit back and shoot 3-pointers,but she’s at her best when she getsto the rim.”
Alexa Jilek led W-M with 20points, including 16 in the secondhalf. Saundra Libertoski scored 16and Darienne Korpi had 14.
“Alexa Jilek had a great secondhalf for them,” Besonen said. “Shefound a soft spot along the baselinemany times. Korpi was hot from the3-point line in the first half, sinkingthree of them. We weren’t able torotate fast enough to get to her.”
Watersmeet plays W-M in aMHSAA Class D District 127 openeron Monday at Republic-Michigamme.
“I think this is a beatable team,but we have to play smarter whenwe get tired,” Besonen said. “Wecan’t afford to get into a foot racewith them.”
W-M (8-11, 8-6) closes out theregular season Thursday at Iron-wood. Watersmeet (2-16, 1-13) clos-es out the regular season Friday athome against Ewen-Trout Creek.W-M — Ebanie Delich 1, Darienne Korpi 14, Cloe Bac-
BESSEMER — On Jan. 10, Bessemerwent to Ironwood and lost to their arch-rivals40-37. It was in all likelihood the lowest pointof the season for the Speedboys as theirrecord dropped to 2-5.On Tuesday night, the Red Devils came to
the House of Noise and Bessemer playedrock-solid in defeating Ironwood 59-52 in anon-conference game.The Speedboys now have a 12-6 record,
but even more impressively have won sevengames in a row and 10 out of their last 11.Their season has come full circle."It was a typical rivalry game," Bessemer
coach Richard Matrella said. "We playedmuch harder than the first game. It was afairly well-played game and give Ironwood alot of credit. They were in it right until theend. "You know from a momentum standpoint,
winning your last seven games going into the(district) tournament is a good thing. Thingsare going well, but as a coach your never sat-isfied. We're just worried about us gettingbetter as a team. We're not worried aboutwhat's going on outside the locker-room."Count in Pete Lewinski as a coach who's
impressed by the way the Speedboys areplaying."I thought it was a good game, both teams
played hard," Lewinski said. "Bessemer isreally playing well right now. I knew we'dhave trouble with their size on the boards.(Max) Samardich, (Ben) Bogaczyk and(Tyler) Busch are very active pounding theglass. And if Samardich gets fouled, hemakes his free throws. (Keegan) Bolen and(Brayden) Tomes are good perimeter shoot-ers and (Luke) Zielinski is real steady. CadeMazzon picked up his game, especially in thesecond half. "For Ironwood, Paul Justinak, (Tony)
Wiemeri and (Ian) Averitt played well andwe shot well from the perimeter, but in the

HURLEY’S MACKENZIEMcCorkle, white jersey, and a Solon Springs player battle for a loose ball during Tues-day night’s game at the Hurley K-12 School.
bardo said. “You could see themcompletely, with their fans andteam, rise up and we started toslouch a little bit.”Amys said the Eagles gave up
their early second-half lead whenthey started shooting from theoutside instead of playing totheir strength of getting to thehoop. In fact, he told Rajala not to
take any 3s. Good thing for them she did
anyway.“It was a huge shot. She’s a
freshman, she comes down andhits that. … Before she madethat shot, I told her, ‘Don’t takeany 3s, let’s drive to the basket,’”Amys said. “She reminded me ofthat afterwards. But I told thegirls, too, we have to take openlooks, we have good shooters onour team. They miss one or twoshots and they don’t continue totake them. I think that was hermindset, she had an open shotand she took it.“I didn’t like the shot, but it
went in and it got us up by four,which was a momentum swing.”Hurley missed an open layup,

second half, we couldn't knockdown a shot."From a player's standpoint,
Bessemer senior Max Samardichsaid it came down to playingwith more intensity and emotionthan the first game. "We knew we had to play with
a lot more intensity than the firstgame and we did," Samardichsaid. "Also, we really wanted towin because it's still a rivalrygame. We shot better than wedid in Ironwood and hustled andrebounded tonight."Bessemer came to play on
Tuesday, but so did Ironwood.The Red Devils jumped out to a5-2 behind the scoring of Averittand Tony Wiemeri, but Mazzonmade a laser-like cross-courtpass to Samardich for a lay-inand Busch's put-back gaveBessemer its first lead ay 8-7. Towards the end of the quar-
ter, Bolen drained a 3 from thetop of the key, but Wiemerianswered with a triple from theexact same spot on the oppositeend of the court. Bolen returnedto bury a deep 3 from on top with3.0 seconds left to give the Speed-boys a 14-10 first quarter lead.Zielinski opened the second
quarter by curling down the laneand taking a pass for a score, but6-3 Griffen Revoyr splashed a 3from beyond the arc for the car-dinal and white. Midway through the quarter,
Bessemer out-scored Ironwood10-2 on points from Samardich,Tomes and Zielinski, but Revoyrand Averitt countered with bas-kets and the Speedboys went intohalf-time up by 31-26.Ironwood turned up its game
in the third quarter whenNathan Dray knocked down a 3-ball to give Ironwood its firstlead since the first quarter at 34-33. Bessemer's Ben Bogaczyk is areal strong player who dunked inhis last game, but he tried topower up a shot and Revoyrswatted it away. Bogaczyk gotthe rebound and went back up,but Revoyr blocked it again.Revoyr made a 3 the old-fash-
ioned way with a lay-up and foulshot and the Red Devils had asurprising lead 37-33 with 3:37remaining.It looked like Ironwood might
be going for a rivalry sweep, butLewinski knew Bessemer wouldmake a run at Ironwood."They're a veteran team,
they're on their home court andthey're playing so well right nowand coach Matrella has themgoing in the right direction,"Lewinski said. "I knew they'dmake a run at us."
Lewinski had it pegged right. Busch made a put-back, Maz-
zon drilled a triple from the leftside and Busch went up with ashot that ended the quarter withthe Speedboys back in the lead at40-37.Bessemer maintained a five to
seven point lead throughout thefourth quarter and refused to letthe Red Devils get any closer.When Bogaczyk sank a pair offree throws, Bessemer had a 59-49 lead with 18.4 seconds left.Averitt made it 59-52 with a long3 with 1.2 seconds remaining.Averitt was the game's top

I am 13 years old, and Ihave a problem that I am tooembarrassed to talk aboutwith anyone at home orschool.
My stepbrother is 19 yearsold, and he enlisted in theArmy after he graduated fromhigh school. I don’t know whyI feel this way, but I amscared to death that some-thing bad is going to happen
to him. Sometimes it keeps me up
at night because I havedreams that he is eithertaken prisoner or killed. I wasfine when he first enlisted,but he is now overseas, and Iam scared all the time.
I have never been like thisbefore, and I can’t talk aboutit because I am afraid peoplewill laugh at me and think Iam a baby.
“Justin,” my stepbrother, ismy best friend. When I was 8years old, his dad married mymom. He told me that daythat I was now his littlebrother and he will always bethere for me. Nobody ever hada better big brother.
I love him and look up tohim as my role model. I havelearned a lot from him overthe years, and I miss him somuch.
What can I do to stopexpecting something bad tohappen? — Scared and Wor-riedDear Scared: Justin
sounds like a true Americanhero and an amazing brother.It is understandable how hisArmy service overseas causesyou to worry.
To calm your fears, try tokeep in touch with him asmuch as you can. Skype andFaceTime are great.
If you can’t do video chats,write to him often via emailor good old-fashioned post-cards.
It would really help if youshared your fears with yourparents. I promise they won’t
think you are a baby. In fact,they will probably think youare very mature for being ableto express your feelings andworries.
My bet is that they sharesome of the same feelings,and you could all be helpingone another.
When the bad thoughtscome in your head, try to say,“Stop.” Notice them in yourmind and think about some-thing peaceful that you enjoy.
What your stepbrother isdoing is incredibly coura-geous, and I know you havethe bravery inside you to fightyour fears.Dear Annie: I thought
your advice to the parent ofthe 23-year-old daily marijua-na user was perfect. You saidnot to focus so much on get-ting him to stop — whichwould only make him fightback harder — and instead lethim learn from his own mis-takes.
I’d just like to add that oneother thing that might beimportant for the son tounderstand as he enters theworld of work is that manyemployers require a drug testas part of the hiring process.It would be a tough way tolearn the lesson his father istrying to teach him. — A For-mer HR ExecutiveSend your questions for

If you need luck, hope you get itBy Phillip Alder
There are so many jokes about mothers-in-law, but I had not heard this one from Mark Twain: “Adam was the luckiest man; he had no mother-in-law.”
That wasn’t the only relative that Adam was lacking.
A t t h e b r i d g e t a b l e , y o u occasionally need to get lucky. In today’s deal, look at the North hand. East opens one diamond, South overcalls four spades, and West passes. What should North do?
In theory, partner has a limited hand with a good eight-card suit. It looks as though slam will depend on a winning finesse or two in the rounded suits, but given East’s opening bid, they rate to be losing. So, the sensible course is to pass and take the money. But let’s assume North jumps to six spades. How should partner play after a diamond lead?
South starts with only 10 top tricks: seven spades and three side-suit aces. He needs two more winners from somewhere. Note that even if the club finesse is winning, it will provide only one more trick (assuming West covers the club jack with the king). But if the heart finesse is working, that will produce the necessary winners. So, South should bank everything on the heart finesse. After driving out the spade ace and drawing trumps, he runs the heart jack. The club loser disappears on dummy’s diamond ace.

Dear Doctor: I had my thyroid removedbecause of papillary cancer, and my sur-geon has advised me to take high levelsof vitamin D. He says there may be a cor-relation between low vitamin D levels andthe development of cancer andAlzheimer's disease. If I remember cor-rectly, the normal blood range for vitaminD is between 30 and 60 nanograms permillileter. I take 8,000 units a day, whichkeeps my blood level near 60 ng/ml.What's the evidence for higher levels ofvitamin D?Dear Reader: You and I share the samepast cancer diagnosis -- and the samesearch for answers. When I was 26, I wasalso diagnosed with papillary thyroid can-cer. At the time, I racked my brain for whyI developed this cancer. I was healthy atthe time, had a good diet and exercisedregularly. I was also outdoors a lot, so myvitamin D levels were good. As with so many cancer diagnoses, I ulti-mately couldn't find any factor that wouldhave increased my risk. True, there is adefinite link between papillary thyroidcancer and radiation exposure, whichcan come from radiation fallout due to nu-clear accidents, as well as excessive X-ray radiation to the neck and oral area.But I hadn't been exposed to nuclear fall-out, and I'd had only the normally recom-mended dental X-rays. (Today's moremodern X-rays expose patients to lowerdoses than previous generations.)I haven't stopped looking for connections,however, between a diagnosis of dis-ease, risk factors and possible preventivemeasures.That brings us to your current question.The normal blood level for vitamin D isbetween 20 and 50 ng/ml. This level --generally considered necessary for good
bone health -- is recommended by the In-stitute of Medicine, which conducted a re-view of studies on the topic. Someorganizations, such as the National Os-teoporosis Foundation, recommend 30 to50 ng/ml as the normal range. But bothof these recommendations are aboutgood bone health, not the prevention ofcancer and Alzheimer's disease.The World Health Organization looked atmultiple retrospective studies evaluatinga potential connection between vitamin Dlevels and colon cancer. They did find alink between low vitamin D levels andcolon cancer, specifically that people withblood levels of 20 ng/ml or less had sig-nificantly higher colon cancer rates. However, retrospective studies look atdisease after the disease has happened,and it can be difficult to make a solid cor-relation that way. A prospective study as-sessing vitamin D concentrations prior tothe diagnosis of colon cancer did not findany evidence that vitamin D levels hadany relation to colon cancer. Studies focused on prostate cancer haveshown both benefit and increased riskamong people with higher levels of vita-min D, so it would seem that supplemen-tation does not appear to have an impactone way or another. With regard to breastcancer after menopause, an analysis ofnine prospective studies showed a de-crease in breast cancer rates amongwomen with higher levels of vitamin D,but this decrease was not seen in womenwhose levels were above 35 ng/ml. Stillanother analysis of 18 studies assessingoverall breast cancer risk in women didnot find any benefit to vitamin D supple-mentation. In summation, there may be slight benefitto minimal supplementation in women
after menopause to get their levels to 35ng/ml to decrease the incidence of breastcancer. But in men, the benefit of re-duced cancer risk has not been shown.In relation to cognitive decline, a studypublished in the journal Neurology in2012 showed a slight increase inAlzheimer's disease in people whose vi-tamin D levels were lower than 20 ng/ml.The authors concluded that more studiesare needed to evaluate the potential con-nection.Let's say that there is a benefit to vitaminD supplementation in lowering the risk ofcancer and Alzheimer's disease. To reacha level of 20 ng/ml, you probably wouldnot need to take more than 400 units ofvitamin D per day. For a postmenopausalwoman to reach the benefit needed for apossible reduction in the risk of breastcancer, she probably would not need tosupplement with any more than 800 unitsper day. In light of the evidence, 8,000 units of vi-tamin D daily seems too high. The bloodserum level of 60 ng/ml also may be toohigh. Although the topic needs to be stud-ied more, higher amounts of vitamin Dcould potentially lead to greater boneturnover and possibly weaker bones. Ask your doctor if you can reduce theamount of vitamin D that you are taking,as there currently is no evidence to sup-port it.

Deal hunger sends food stockshigher; US indexes at recordsNEW YORK (AP) — Stocks
again broke records Tuesday asinvestors came back from a longweekend hungry for deals. WhileKraft Heinz and Unilever could-n’t complete a proposed $143 bil-lion mega-merger, food andhousehold goods makers rose asinvestors bet that other deals arecoming.Companies that make pack-
aged foods, everyday householditems and other consumer goodsare usually seen as stable invest-ments and rarely take centerstage on Wall Street. But onTuesday they did just that, asinvestors felt the failed KraftHeinz-Unilever sale will bereplaced by other deals. Oreomaker Mondelez and jam makerSmucker made the largest gains.“That’s why you saw the
(home and personal care prod-ucts) companies move up on Fri-day and you’re seeing some ofthem follow through today,” saidJefferies & Co. analyst KevinGrundy.Stocks built on their gains

said the Kraft Heinz-Unilevertalks surprised Wall Streetbecause Unilever gets most of its
revenue from household prod-ucts, not food. With the Unilevertalks apparently done, analyststhink Kraft Heinz is still inter-ested in buying another companyand they are wondering if it willpursue a different consumerproducts company or stick to thefood industry.He added that Unilever’s

Study: Savings possible by shuttingdown nuclear power plant
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Anew study says Pacific North-west utility ratepayers couldsave hundreds of millions of dol-lars if the Bonneville PowerAdministration and EnergyNorthwest close the region’s onlycommercial nuclear power plantin Richland, Washington andreplace its output with renew-able energy.The Portland-based McCul-
lough Research consulting firmestimated savings from $261.2million to $530.7 million over 10years due to historically lowrenewable energy prices at theaging plant, The Oregonian/Ore-gonLive reported.“The rapid drop in renewable
energy costs in recent years hasbeen shocking to everyone,” saideconomist Robert McCullough.“It is now possible to affordablyreplace aging facilities ... withoutincreasing the region’s carbonfootprint.”The report was commissioned
by the anti-nuclear group Physi-cians for Social Responsibilityand is the latest in a salvoagainst the economic feasibilityand reliability of the agingColumbia Generating Station.
The station is all that’s left ofa plan to build five nuclearplants in the Northwest, a deba-cle that led to one of the largestmunicipal bond defaults in histo-ry. The Richland facility was theonly one completed. It is an olderdesign that has had a variety ofoperating issues. Federal regula-tors recently cleared it to runthrough 2043.Energy Northwest, a public
utility consortium that operatesthe plant, criticized the reportand told the newspaper that the1,200-megawatt plant has setgenerating records in four of thepast five years.The consortium markets the
power through the BonnevillePower Adminstration.The study cited the low cost
and abundant supply of renew-able power. But the plant’s sup-porters point out that supply dif-fers from capacity — makingsure that power is there whenyou need it.“The report faults CGS for
what makes it so valuable: Wemake electricity around-the-clock,” said Mike Paoli, aspokesman for Energy North-west. “With wind and solar, a lot
of the generation happens at off-peak times. When peak demandcomes, you have to have baseloadgeneration to cover that.”Most experts note that the
Northwest wholesale marketsare awash in energy, but couldsoon go into a capacity deficit.Such a shortage could be exacer-bated by the slated closure ofthree coal-fired plants in Oregon,Washington and Montana in2020 and 2021.Kieran Connolly, Bonneville’s
vice president for generation andasset management, told thenewspaper that the agency isdependent on the nuclear plantwhen water conditions are low atenergy-producing dams.He said some of the nuclear
plants slated to close early, suchas Diablo Canyon in California,were facing major new capitalinvestments. That’s not the casefor the Columbia GeneratingStation, he said.“Our customers’ focus is on
safely, reliably and cost effective-ness” in meeting electricityneeds, he said. “They’re not see-ing it as a resource they arequestioning. They just want tomake sure it’s well managed.”
Maple syrup producers face challenges inwarming worldDURHAM, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire’s
maple syrup producers say they are feeling theimpact of climate change, as winters becomewarmer and frigid nights so critical to their busi-ness become fewer.Producers joined climate experts and Democrat-
ic U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire onTuesday to talk about the state’s changing climateand how it is affecting one of the state’s mostimportant industries.
Some producers talked of seeing a steep drop inthe amounts of sap they are getting, while othersare dealing with another trend attributed towarmer temperatures in which the sap goes up tothe top of the trees rather than down to taps. Oth-ers complained about a drop in the sugar content oftheir sap.“When I purchased the farm in 2000, “I was get-
ting 75 gallons of sap,” said Ray LaRoche ofLaRoche Farm in Durham. “With the environmen-tal changes we’ve been seeing, it’s down to 15 gal-lons. That’s a dramatic loss for us. And I don’tknow what to do about it.”

Shop around, asprices aren’t always the same atthe various services. Based onthe cheapest options, you’ll haveto spend nearly $40 on the bestpicture movies.You’ll need to visit a theater
for “Hidden Figures,” ‘’La LaLand” and “Lion.” They aren’texpected online before Sunday’sceremony.On the plus side, you’ll also
get to watch all the nominees forbest directing; all five nomineesare also up for best picture.
ACTING NOMINEESIn addition to the best picture
flicks, you’ll need to watch sixmore movies to catch everyonenominated for the four actingcategories.“Captain Fantastic,” ‘’Florence
Foster Jenkins,” ‘’Loving” and“Nocturnal Animals” are avail-able for rent. “Jackie” is avail-able for purchase online.The cumulative total: nearly
$70.To see “Elle,” you’ll need to
visit your local cineplex or indietheater.
SCREENPLAY CATEGORIESAll but two of the nominees in
the two writing categories over-lap with best picture. “The Lob-ster” is available through Ama-zon Prime, while “20th CenturyWomen” isn’t online at all.

FOREIGN LANGUAGERent “A Man Called Ove” and
“Tanna.” Buy a ticket for therest.
THE 15 SHORTS— Animated: Shorts HD has a

ater for “Watani: My Homeland.”Shorts HD runs screenings attheaters, libraries and museumsacross the country.
AND THE REST ...That leaves 15 movies for
lower-profile categories such asmusic and makeup.Netflix has “The Jungle
Book,” while Hulu and AmazonPrime offer “13 Hours: TheSecret Soldiers of Benghazi.”HBO has “Hail, Caesar!” and“Jim: The James Foley Story.”Five other movies can be rent-
ed, while two are for purchaseonly.That means theaters for four

WATCHING THE SHOWIn major cities, the ceremony
itself will be streamed online atabc.com and the ABC app if youcan’t get to a TV. However, you’llneed to sign in with a cable orsatellite account.You also might be able to

coverage, you’ll need a subscrip-tion with an online TV service ora traditional cable or satelliteprovider. The cheapest plan withboth ABC and E! is at DirecTVNow for $35 a month.Oscar.com will have backstage
