The destination is Thanksgiving weekend at Ford Field in Detroit. The long, long road to that lofty state championship goal began across the state Monday with the opening of prep football practices. The first regular season games are Labor Day weekend before school begins. Today, Sports Editor Marc Vieau takes a look at three area teams.
CADILLAC In the absence of the Recreation Millage, other steps are being taken to maintain support for the Wexford County Civic Center. In 2012, private management group Rink Management was brought in to operate The Wex on an annual contract of $45,000. A millage that supported recreation not only at the civic center but throughout the county was rejected by voters the same year. The countys cost to keep the facility running in 2014 should be about
the same as 2013 if there are no major changes in financial results: $95,000, including the management fee to Rink Services of $45,000, according to Wexford County Administrator Ken Hinton. The facility has not generated the amount of revenue needed to perform updates, however. There still is work to be done on the heating, ventilation and cooling system, and there is some interest in putting a new floor in the auditorium, Hinton said. Ideally, officials would like to renovate the bathrooms in the civic center, as well.
The $50,000 is not included in the current county budget, Hinton said. If a volunteer group raises that amount of money, it could either reduce the countys obligation or it could be used to fund improvements at the facility . A pair of fundraisers have been planned to help defray the cost for groups that use The Wex. The events are a golf outing Aug. 25 at The Rose in Osceola County, as well as a softball tournament on Sept. 25 at The Pines in Cadillac (see sidebar on A2). For more, turn to Page A2

CADILLAC A Grand Rapids man was allegedly carrying more than 50 grams of cocaine, as well as a smaller amount of heroin, when he led police on a high-speed chase through Wexford County on Friday evening. Cortez Alonzo Raines, 22, has been arraigned in 84th District Court in connection with the incident. Raines alle g edly ignored a trooper from the Michigan State Police Post who had attempted to stop him for speeding on U.S. 131 around 7:30 p.m. Friday and eventually struck a patrol car before a police trooper forced his vehicle into a ditch. Raines had exceeded speeds of 100 miles per hour. Raines has been charged with delivery/ manuf acture of more than 50 grams of cocaine, possession of less than 25 grams of heroin, fleeing a police officer, and operating while license suspended/revoked/denied. If convicted, Raines could face up to 20 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $250,000 on the heroin charge alone. Bond was set at $75,000.

DETROIT (AP) A federal judge ruled Monday that Michigan must grant parole consideration to anyone convicted of murder as a juvenile, rejecting the state attorney generals request that an earlier decision to implement the U.S. Supreme Courts ban on no-parole sentences for juveniles apply only to the convicts who challenged the states law. Michigan has an automatic life-without-parole sentence for first-degree murder convictions, and applies at any age. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled last year that it is cruel and unusual punishment to deny parole consideration to those who are under 18 when convicted. The state said
out parole. Once a final order is entered in this case, Attorney General Schuette intends to file an immediate appeal, Yearout said in an email. The ACLU praised Mondays decision. Todays order makes clear that every person sentenced to life without parole for a crime committed when they were a child is now eligible for parole, ACLU lead attorney Deborah LaBelle said in a statement. As the court previously ruled To hold otherwise would be to allow the state to impose unconstitutional punishment on some persons but not others, an intolerable miscarriage of justice.
The Wex
Continued from A1 Wex Public Relations Director Lea Pionk said the goal of the fundraisers is to give the community the opportunity to support The Wex while keeping costs down for users. The Wex is definitely an asset to Wexford County, given there isnt a county park, Pionk said. Using the facility are community members of all ages, including more than 100 youth hockey players who belong to the Cadillac Area Hockey Association. Theres also a womens league, mens leagues in A and B divisions, and even co-ed hockey . Estimates put the financial impact of the hockey arena alone at $750,000 from September to May 1, when the rink is filled with ice, Pionk said. Families come to Cadillac from as far as Sault Ste. Marie and Battle Creek, depending on the tournament. While here, they will eat at local restaurants, stay in hotels and buy gas for the trip home. The same goes for the Michigan Craft and Product Show, which draws vendors from the states southern border all the
In a Feb. 27 file photo, firefighters work the scene of an explosion that destroyed a home and killed a man in Royal Oak. One of Michigans largest utilities has agreed to pay $1 million to create a new response fund after a natural gas line exploded. Attorney General Bill Schuette said Monday that Consumers Energy will spend $900,000 to help victims affected by natural gas disasters with shelter, food and clothing. Another $100,000 will help study best safety practices and train utilities and first responders.
with a $90,000 fine for not thoroughly investigating a leak before a December 2010 blast destroyed a furniture store in the Detroit suburb of Wayne, killing two employees and injuring the owner who was inside and a driver passing by . Schuette said victims helped by the fund will not waive their right to sue Consumers, a unit of Jackson-based CMS Energy Corp. They also will be able to accept charitable assistance and insurance payments. Schuette said the Royal Oak incident was inexcusable. Its not good enough to just respond to victims after the fact. We must do all we can to ensure mistakes of the past are not repeated, he said in a statement. The utility said it fully accepted the fines and agreement with the state. It previously fired employees involved in the Royal Oak explosion and has settled a lawsuit with Malczynskis family for an undisclosed amount. As weve said previously , these incidents failed to meet our standards, or the standards expected by our customers across Michi-
gan. ... We have reinforced our training and policy education for all employees who work on our natural gas system, Consumers said in a statement.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) An animal welfare group intent on sending a message in support of veganism hid until closing time then poured red paint over the Iowa State Fairs butter cow. But the damage was quickly scraped away and visitors never knew the iconic sculpture had been damaged. Iowans for Animal Liberation claimed responsibility for the attack in a news release emailed Sunday night, saying members hid in the cavernous Agriculture Building on Saturday night and emerged after the fair closed for the day . They then broke into a refrigerated room where the sculpted cow and other butter sculptures are displayed and poured red paint over the cow. The words Freedom for all were scrawled on a display window. The paint represents the blood of 11 billion animals murdered each year in slaughterhouses, egg farms, and dairies, the group said in the statement. We intend this action to serve as a wake up call to all who continue to consume meat, dairy , eggs, leather, and all animal products: You are directly supporting suffering and misery on the largest scale the world has ever known. Iowa State Patrol Sgt. Scott Bright said Monday that fair staffers discovered the damage Sunday morning. A sculptor scraped off damaged sections of the cow and reapplied new butter while other workers cleaned off paint elsewhere in the room. The display area, which this year also features a sculpture of Abraham Lincoln and a depiction of the Lincoln Highway that crosses Iowa, opened as usual at 9 a.m. Sunday .
CADILLAC A 7-year-old girl was treated at Mercy Hospital Cadillac Monday afternoon after running into a pickup as it passed by an ice cream truck.
A 51-year-old man was driving a pickup truck east on East River Street around 3:34 p.m., according to Capt. Matt Wohlfeill of the Cadillac Police Department. As the pickup passed an ice cream truck parked in the 400 block of the street, the girl ran out in front of the ice cream
truck and hit the side of the pickup. Witnesses said the pickup truck was traveling at a very slow speed. The girl was treated for injuries to her left leg. No tickets have been issued in connection with the incident, Wohlfeill said.

Room to grow
New program provides seniors with free produce
By Rick Charmoli Cadillac News
CADILLAC Just like the produce its providing to area seniors, with a little time and care, a new program could blossom into something great. A few weeks ago, the Senior Network Advocacy Group identified an immediate need for greater access to locally grown produce for seniors in Cadillac. The idea of Senior Green was born. On July 31, a committee came together and created a Senior Green Food Rescue program for area farmers and individual growers who have an over abundance of produce. A week later, seniors got the chance to get the fresh produce at the Cadillac Senior Center. Every Wednesday from 8 to 10 a.m., growers can drop off excess produce at the senior center, 601 Chestnut St., across from the Cadillac High School in the old Naval Reserve building. From 10 a.m. to noon, residents who are 60 or older and meet income guidelines can shop for available produce at no charge. Eligible seniors must have a monthly income of no more than $1,723 for an individual and $2,333 for couples. During the first event on Aug. 7, there was only a limited supply of zucchini, cucumbers and green beans, but organizers Diane Patterson and Margo Jacobs believe the program will grow as people and, in particular, farmers and people with
Recently, Joan Gardner got some fresh produce as part of a new program called Senior Green. Following efforts to fund a program called Senior Project Fresh, a local group of advocates for senior citizens decided to increase access to local produce for lower income senior citizens aged 60 or older in Wexford, Missaukee and Osceola counties.
From 10 a.m. to noon Wednesday, residents who are 60 or older and meet income guidelines can shop for available produce at no charge at the Cadillac Senior Center.
excess produce from backyard farms realize it is an option available to them. Since the Wexford County Council on Aging is non-profit, growers can benefit from receiving a receipt for their donated produce at the value they would have sold it for at market. Even if we end up with 300 pounds of zucchini, well have many happy seniors eating better because of the bounty and generosity of our local growers, Patterson said. Susan Dennis of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development has been supportive of Senior Green and has used her resources to contract local growers to have them donate their excess produce. She also has been identifying potential grants that would help to expand the program. For more information, contact Patterson at 779-9420 or via email at cadillacseniorcenter@hotmail.com.

CADILLAC A Lake City woman has been charged with felony shoplifting in connection with an Aug. 3 incident in Haring Township. Tashina Marie Craft, 32, has been charged with shoplifting between $200 and $1,000 worth of merchandise, according to court records. The charge comes with a secondoffense notice that could result in up to five years in prison and/or a fine of up to $10,000 or three times the value of the merchandise. Craft also has a habitual offender, second notice that could bring a multiplication factor of 1 1/2 into consideration at sentencing.
CADILLAC Changes to two ordinances that will impact future commercial development and business signage in Haring Township have been approved by the township board. During its Monday meeting, the board voted in favor of a request to rezone several parcels of land along East 34 Road from agriculture and forest recreation to general commercial and also approved a request to amend the sign ordinance. The current sign ordinance permits portable signs on a temporary basis. The
amendment will allow temporary portable signs to not exceed 60 days per calendar year. The amendment will also remove the requirement of a 10-foot minimum setback from all lot lines. The zoning change was approved by a 6-1 vote, with board member Anita Fagerman voting no. The change to the sign ordinance was approved unanimously . The zoning request was made by property owners Caribou Investments Hunting Jr. and E.S. Fawcett. Owner Stan Fawcett said he currently has no plans to develop the commercial property but said future development is a possibility .
Haring Township Zoning Administrator Mike Green previously said he hoped the sign ordinance would decrease the amount of safety hazards and visual blight on Mitchell Street and Boon Road due to the problem of temporary signs being placed on the street. In other business, the board appointed Susan Baldwin and Joel Yonkman to the Township Planning Commission during the meeting. The next township meeting is scheduled for Sept. 9 at 6 p.m. at Haring Township Hall. The next planning commission meeting is scheduled for Aug. 20.

An article on home canning techniques in the Weekend edition of the Cadillac News should have stated that pressure canners must vent steam for 10 minutes before the gauge is added. When the pressure reaches the designated amount (11 lbs. on dial gauge, or gently rocking on weighted gauge), then timing the process begins. When your times up, wait for the pressure to return to 0 on a dial gauge, or the safety valve (air vent/cover lock) on a weighted gauge canner lid falls. Then wait an additional 15 minutes before removing the lid. Also, read and follow the instructions on your canner because all canners are different. In the Monday edition of the Cadillac News, a story about the potential recall of a Buckley Community Schools board member should have stated that Rene LaFreniere III left to take a job as athletic director at Mesick Consolidated Schools.

CADILLAC Several changes are being made to the various student handbooks at Cadillac Area Public Schools, but most of them are simple updates to language used. The changes were approved Monday at a meeting of the CAPS Board of Education. Forest View Elementary Principal Matt Brown gave a presentation about the changes, which were discussed previously at a policy committee meeting. At the elementary-
school level, Brown said the handbook had not been updated for three to four years and language needed to be revised. Major updates included changes to the pick-up procedure as well as language changes to reflect the kindergarten age requirements. At Mackinaw Trail Middle School, Brown said most of the language changes involve the schools status as a fifth/sixth-grade building rather than a sixth/seventh-grade building. It also included changes that would have the school contact parents if their child is failing at least two classes after the second marking pe-
riod. At the junior high, two changes were made. The first dealt with the schools switch from a trimester schedule back to a semester schedule. The second was wording about how electronic devices such as MP3 players and cell phones are used on school property . Finally, changes to Cooley High Schools handbook include the tightening of online testing requirements as well as the addition of consequences for bad behavior, such as detention and Saturday school.

ome say it will take a miracle for Congress to pass common-sense immigration reform. That miracle may be in the making, helped along by Christians who want to put their faith into action. On July 24, 300 evangelical Christians from 27 states had 110 meetings with their mostly Republican representatives on Capitol Hill to ask them to let personal faith replace political fear. Republican leaders told us we represented a new factor in the debate on immigration, a grass-roots constituency for reform that can influence the political right. We offered a clear message to every member of the House, but especially those who consider themselves people of faith. Christians, including millions of evangelicals, believe fixing our broken immigration system is long overdue. We arent primarily motivated by political considerations or even by the clear economic benefits immigration reform would bring. It is the biblical call to welcome the stranger and Jesus concern for the least of these that inspires us. Congress needs to pass immigration reform because it is the morally right thing to do. Of course, God never ordains or endorses particular pieces of legislation bills are always the product of compromises and limitations. But the principles contained in the common-sense immigration bill put forward by both
We dont think a faith-based argument exists against immigration reform, at least if youre reading the Bible closely . Gods passionate, abiding concern for immigrants and foreigners, strangers and travelers and for our neighbors is obvious to anyone reading through Scripture. In the Old Testament, the Lord commands: When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself ... (Leviticus 19:33-34). The biblical word ger for the foreigners in our midst occurs an astounding 92 times in the Hebrew scriptures, with the consistent instruction to protect them. In the New Testament, the stranger, and all who are vulnerable, are at the very heart of the Gospel. In the book of Matthew, Jesus offers a vision in which caring for them is the defining mark of Gods kingdom: For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me (Matthew 25:35-36).
That evangelical Christians would finally act to reform the immigration system should surprise no one, and not just for theological reasons. Undocumented immigrants have joined our congregations; we understand the problem firsthand. They are our brothers and sisters in the body of Christ. And we know that by reforming our immigration laws, we can create a system that also reflects the best values of our nation and the highest ideals of our faith. Conservative Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida has connected his faith with his vote: I think the biggest change hasnt been in the pulpit; its been in the pews.... Its one thing when 11 million is a statistic. The other thing is when one of those 11 million is your friend, a human being who you now know ... as a father, as a husband, as a mother, as a worker, as a worshiper.... Our faith has always been about compassion and it compels you to do something. Compassion is indeed all over the Bible. I pray it will also be found in the House of Representatives. Its time for Christians in the House to stand up in support of immigration reform, or to explain why they wont as Christians. If they follow their faith, we will see the miracle we need. Jim Wallis is president of the Washington-based Christian organization Sojourners.

he last thing I want to do is enrage thousands of young men across America who like to dress up in purple pony costumes. But I didnt know about the Bronies. Dont you know about Bronies? asked a friend. It seems like every time I talk to you, you give up a little piece of your soul. You really want to know about Bronies? OK, yeah, go on, tell me about Bronies. That was a profoundly stupid thing to say . And the second I said it, I could feel the fear creeping up my neck. Then he told me about Bronies. Later, when I regained consciousness, he told me again. Bros. Ponies. Bronies. Bronies are young men and not-so-young men who are devoted to the My Little Pony lifestyle associated with the tiny toy pony dolls once exclusive to little girls. I am not on drugs. This is really happening. Lord have mercy . Bronies are inspired by the My Little Pony cartoon series that has legions of fans. The stories are simple. The cute little ponies with the big eyes and great pony hair trot out of their castle and have adventures and fight evil and care for their friends.

ALLEN PARK Chris Houston sat out because of a migraine and Louis Delmas is still nursing a balky knee. The Detroit Lions hope their secondary will be much improved this season but first, they need their top players healthy and on the field together. "You'd like to have continuity ," coach Jim Schwartz said. "That can be an issue at times." Houston and Delmas both missed Monday's practice, and although there were plenty of other defensive backs eager to take their place, the Lions are well aware that it's important for cornerbacks and safeties to develop chemistry before the season starts. That's not easy when key players are sidelined. Detroit re-signed Houston, a cornerback, and Delmas, a safety, in the offseason. The Lions also signed free agent safety Glover Quin and drafted cornerback Darius Slay in the
second round. S o m e stability would be welcome a f t e r Houston On Deck: at was the Browns, 7:30 only De- p.m. Thursday troit deTV: Fox 32 fensive back to start more than nine games last season. "If we have a healthy secondary, I think we can be the best secondary in the NFL," Slay said. The Lions don't need to have the best secondary in the NFL. If this group can be solid behind a defensive front that includes Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley, Detroit's defense could be stout. Houston has been productive, starting 42 games over the last three years. Delmas has also been a mainstay, but he was limited by left knee problems and played only eight games last season. Delmas didn't play in Detroit's exhibition opener Friday against the New York Jets.

Detroit Lions free safety Louis Delmas catches a ball at the teams practice facility in Allen Park July 30.
Houston says his migraine problems are hereditary and have bothered him since he was young, although they don't seem to have affected his career much. He's hopeful the Detroit secondary can become the type of cohesive unit that can help the Lions grow into an elite team. "In Seattle, those guys have got chemistry together. They've been playing together for two, three, four years. Same thing in San Francisco," Houston said. "You trust each other on the field, you know how each other plays, and you hold each other accountable. It's like a brotherhood." The Lions beat the Jets 26-17, but when Schwartz reviewed the game, he

found a few areas that needed improving for the secondary . Detroit defensive lineman Ziggy Ansah intercepted a screen pass and returned it for a touchdown, but aside from that, Jets quarterbacks Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith looked fairly comfortable. Those two were a combined 16 of 20 for 172 yards
and a touchdown. "When you get done with the game, you're happy because you won the game. The old saying is, it's never as good as you think it was and it's never as bad as you think it was," Schwartz said. "I think this was definitely one of those cases where it wasn't as good as we thought it was. Couple of plays that you saw we had bad leverage and missed some tackles in the secondary. That's critical. You can't do that. We had a couple plays on third down where they made plays into the strength of our defense. We didn't play physical enough at our corner position when it came to manto-man coverage." It's hard to read too much into the first exhibition game, since starters don't play a lot, but for the Lions, secondary depth is crucial. Cornerback Bill Bentley, a third-round pick in 2012, started three games as a rookie. Safety Don Carey started six games last season, and he could be an important player for Detroit if Delmas isn't at full strength.

RALEIGH, N.C. Richard Claxon usually plays pickleball three or four times a week as long as his knees can stand it. He is joined by former ten nis players, exercise enthusiasts and those simply seeking a good time. They are all generally above the age of 50, although anyone is welcome to play. Its a tremendous sport for older people, Claxon, 72, said. He began playing a year ago and sees the game not only as exercise but also as a social outlet. Pickleball, a racquet sport similar to tennis but played with overgrown ping pong paddles and a whiffle ball, originated in Washington State in 1965. The USA Pickleball Association calls it a highly contagious, progressive and incurable disease and estimates that there are between 40,000 and 50,000 infected people worldwide. The game is named after a founders cocker spaniel, Pickles, who would take the ball and run with it whenever it came his way. There are a lot of active seniors looking for exercise, camaraderie, excitement it fits
the bill, said pickleball player Marilyn Sorin, 70. There are a lot of active seniors that dont enjoy bingo. In addition to its fun factor, pickleball addresses a subject with more serious undertones: the health of older adults. In North Carolina, for example, almost 32 percent of adults 65 and older do not participate in leisure-time physical activity, according to a report released this year by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Ellen Schneider, a researcher with the UNC Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, said exercise is extremely important for older adults for several reasons. Benefits of exercise include lowering blood pressure, decreasing depression, maintaining mental sharpness, preventing or delaying disease, addressing balance problems and decreasing social isolation. Exercise also helps prevent falls, she said, which are the leading cause of injury deaths for older adults. Anything you can do to increase exercise and decrease social isolation contributes to healthy aging, Schneider said. Sheryl Schuff, 64, moved to the area from Indiana 2 { years ago. She began playing pickleball last
