LANSING – A package of bills aimed at union members won't create jobs, but instead punishes enemies and rewards friends of big business, union leaders told a state House committee.
But business owners said the bills before the House Committee on Oversight, Reform and Ethics make sure organized labor doesn't receive deferential treatment when it comes to breaking state laws.
Committee members heard testimony on a package that includes House Bill 5023, which prohibits all public employees from striking, extending a ban that now applies to public school employees.
The package of bills includes:
• House Bill 5024, which spells out penalties for striking workers when they prevent people from crossing a picket line to get to work;
• House Bill 5025, which requires annual consent from an employee for an employer to deduct union dues, and
• House Bill 5026, which would make it easier for businesses to hire workers to replace employees on strike.
"These bills aren't about creating jobs, they're about control," said William Black, legislative and community affairs director for the Teamsters. "These are political bills intended to punish your enemies and reward your friends."
Black said the bills are backed by the Michigan Chamber of Commerce, which he said fears that money raised by union members will be spent to defeat chamber-backed candidates.
Ray Michaels, president of IBEW Local 665, said the laws are intended to prevent workers from enjoying the benefits of collective bargaining and will only add to the bureaucratic burdens placed on businesses.
"The slogan should be jobs, jobs, jobs, not hassles, hassles, hassles," he said.
But Charles Owens, state director of the National Federation of Independent Businesses, said the bills are needed because existing laws make prosecuting violators too cumbersome, especially in the case of illegal strikes.
He noted that teachers in Wayne-Westland Public Schools went on strike in 2008 without facing penalties.
"Why does organized labor feel they should not be subject to penalties when they break the law by supporting and encouraging an illegal strike activity?" he asked.
Committee chairman Thomas McMillin, R-Rochester Hills, said he believes the bills are intended to create jobs by changing the climate for businesses to operate in the state.
McMillin did not call for a vote on Tuesday, but said he believes the committee is close to moving the package to the House floor.
Municipal pension funds
The committee also heard testimony from state Rep. Doug Geiss, D-Taylor, who sponsored a bill that would allow local governments to demand their pension boards to be audited.
Geiss said he's concerned about abuses, pointing to a recent controversy involving a member of a Detroit pension board who spent $20,000 on a 10-day trip to China.
Geiss said municipalities, which are responsible for covering the pensions, would be better able to keep track of how much the pension board was spending if it had better access to records.

Rohtak: Delhi recorded a thrilling two-run victory over Haryana in the North Zone leg of the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 here on Thursday. After being bowled out for a below-par 110 in their alloted 20 overs, Delhi pulled out victory from the jaws of defeat as they restricted Haryana to 108 for 8 in 20 overs.
This was after Haryana were cruising along at 74 for 1 in 13 overs before pacer Parvinder Awana (3 for 11) applied brakes on the hosts' scoring.
Opting to bat, Delhi, sans an ailing Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag, found the going tough from the word go and lost wickets at regular intervals, which put paid to their hopes of posting a decent total on the board. Barring Varun Sood (28), Milind Kumar (27), Manan Sharma (11) and Pawan Negi, no other Delhi batsmen managed double didgit scores.
For Haryana, skipper Amit Mishra and his spin partner Ajit Chandila picked up two wickets apiece. In contrast, Haryana started their innings on a steady note, reaching 74 for the loss of two wickets before their chase feel by the wayside.
Delhi coach Sanjeev Sharma, who got his first assignment with the senior team was ecstatic. "I am happy that boys put up a brilliant performance even when it looked as if we are going to surrender meekly. This win will give us a lot of confidence as we go into the knock-out rounds."
In another match, A 109-run second-wicket stand between Ambati Rayudu (47) and Aditya Waghmode (66 not out) guided Baroda to a comprehensive seven-wicket win over Saurashtra in a West Zone leg match.
The win, Baroda's second in three matches, helped the defending champions pocket four points and are now level with Saurashtra at eight points. Both the teams have a game in hand. Chasing a modest 134 for victory, Baroda lost Kedar Devdhar off the first ball of the innings when he caught by wicket-keeper Sheldon Jackson off left-arm pacer Jaydev Unadkat.
Rayudu, who hit four boundaries and a six in his 37-ball knock, along with Waghmode stabilised the innings before the former was caught by Jackson off the bowling of Unadkat.
Irfan Pathan (12), who came in next, too departed early but Waghmode hit eight boundaries and two sixes in his unbeaten 66-run knock and along with Jyot Chhaya (1 not out) took Baroda home without losing any more wickets.
For Saurashtra, Unadkat took two wickets conceding 22 runs and Siddharth Trivedi chipped in with a wicket for 26 runs. Earlier, put into bat first, Saurashtra got off to a good start but failed to capitalise on it and were restricted to 133 for eight in 20 overs.
Bhushan Chauhan and captain Jaydev Shah put on 74 runs for the opening wicket. Shah was caught and bowled by leg-spinner Hardik Pandya for 45-ball 49, which included five hits to the fence and two over it.

FAIRMONT - Most young boys are content when they are plugged into their video game systems, or on the family computer. But William Saari is more likely to have his nose in a book instead of glued to the screen.
The second-grader from St. John Vianney is fast approaching a landmark 500 accelerator reader points by year's end, when the average second-grade reader aims for about 50 points.
"A good goal for the second grade is 50," said Saari's teacher Karen Sandhurst. "We do have a lot of ambitious readers in our class; they are all over 50."
Article Photos
Second-grader William Saari will likely have more than 500 accelerated reader points by the end of the school year. The average accelerated reader points for second grade is 50 points.
But in a rarity for Sandhurst, she had three students break the 225 point mark, in which the student gets to go out to lunch with the teacher.
"It's just outstanding," Sandhurst said. "They've broken the record for the second grade."
Saari's passion for reading apparently inspired some of his classmates.
"One thing feeds another," Sandhurst said. "When one of them tells the others about a book they read or how many, it spurs on what's been a friendly competition. They get inspired to read more, and earn more points."
Sandhurst also saw a boost with St. John Vianney being able to access more of the "tests" online for different books.
"We have access to all of the tests now, although we had a lot before," she said. "But it gives more choices, and we can quiz on any book (the Accelerated Reader program) offers."
As for Saari leading the pack, Sandhurst said the points are not the motivator.
"He truly enjoys reading for the sake of reading," she said. "He'd read with or without Accelerated Reader. It's common for him to be reading books that are at a fifth-grade level."
Those higher-level books are also responsible for giving Saari the high amount of points.
"The second-grade level books are about a .5," Sandhurst said. "But the higher the level, the higher the points."
For example, one of the Harry Potter novels, "Order of the Phoenix," was worth 44 points. Saari completed the Harry Potter series this year. His current read is "A Wind in the Door," a young adult science fiction fantasy novel by Madeleine L'Engle.
"I usually have three or four I'm reading," Saari said. However, he had just finished another book Wednesday morning, bumping his accelerated reader points up to 490.
He highly recommended the Harry Potter series, but also read many of the "A to Z mysteries" series by Ron Roy, the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series by Jeff Kinney, and the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan.
"Chapter books," is what he says of the type of book is his favorite, but mysteries and action/adventure tend to be his favorite genres.
And he loves to recommend his reading choices, which could be how some of his classmates caught up.
"When he hit the 225 point mark, that's when they earn lunch with the teacher, he knew that two of his friends were catching up," Sandhurst said. "So he waited until they also hit 225 so all three of them could go out together."
Once summertime hit, don't expect Saari's bookshelf to gather dust. He is already thinking of which books he wants to re-read over the summer.
"The Giggler Treatment," he exclaimed. The book by Roddy Doyle is a favorite with kids, with elf-like creatures that "punish" adults for unfair behavior to children.
Saari also said he will probably join the public library's summer reading program. But he also said he won't spend his whole summer being a bookworm.
"I'm playing soccer, too," he said.

A missing midstate woman's father believes the body found Wednesday off Route 11/15 in Perry County was that of his missing daughter.
Erica Lynn Klinger, 27, was last seen leaving the Kwik Fill gas station where she worked in the 6400 block of Carlisle Pike in Silver Spring Township on June 8, according to previous police reports. State police began investigating the discovery of human remains at about 8 p.m. Wednesday near where Route 11/15 meets Schoolhouse Road in Penn Township.
Lawrence Klinger, Erica's father, said he was in contact with both state police and the Perry County Coroner's Office after Wednesday's discovery.
"I talked to a state trooper today, and he's telling me 99 percent chance out of a hundred that it's my daughter," he said. " ... 99 percent out of a hundred? I know it's my daughter then, just from the way he talked to me. My daughter's been missing since June the 8th. It's been too long."
Still, the distraught father said he will await the coroner's office's determination after the autopsy is performed Friday.
Neither state police nor Michael J. Shalonis, the county coroner, were able to confirm any connection as of Thursday evening.
"Our autopsy is scheduled for 8 a.m. [Friday] morning," Shalonis said. "We won't be able to confirm anything until after the autopsy."
Trooper Rob Hicks, a state police spokesman, was also unable to confirm any connection.
Hicks did confirm Wednesday that the body was discovered approximately 20 feet from the roadway and showed signs of having been there for at least a few weeks, which would match up with when Erica went missing, her father said.
"I've been up since 6 o'clock yesterday and I'm just trying to take all of this in. I will know more tomorrow after the autopsy," Lawrence Klinger said.
Police earlier announced the arrest of an associate of Klinger's, 32-year-old Maria Lara, on June 17. Lara and her boyfriend, 28-year-old Luis Lugo-Davila, were reportedly in possession of Erica's car when police caught up with them at a Lower Swatara Township motel.
While Lara was taken into custody on charges of theft and hindering a police investigation, Lugo-Davila was able to escape police and remained on the loose as of Thursday, according to police.
Lara was also found to be in possession of drug paraphernalia, specifically a pair of hypodermic needles with drug residue, police said.
When asked about Lara and Lugo-Davila, Lawrence Klinger was resolute in his message to the community at large.
"If anybody sees Lugo-Davila? Turn his ass in," he said. "I guarantee this is not just going to fly over in one night. I'm going to be going after the [maximum penalty] if they're both guilty."

So it seems that original 310-9050-2 65W laptop charger is the most suitable one to satisfy most of the users by OEM standard specification (19.5V, 3.34A). Absolutely, Dell OEM standards have some differences to other large brands thanks to the diverse requirements of Dell Inspiron, Latitude, Vostro and XPS characteristics. And all these compatible laptop models have their own unique functions and necessary capacitor. Although an original Dell laptop AC adapter is unable to increase the internal memory, hard disk, motherland and other accessories, 310-9050-2 is the only resource for them to initiate and get 65W power energy as a whole. All in all, even the original products for Dell need some maintenance tips to cool down and extend its service life. Then the whole Dell notebook can be benefited with it.

Hornets All-Star point guard Chris Paul discovered the playoffs are more intense than the regular season, but he also learned he could still take over a game when it matters.
Paul delivered the knockout blow in the third quarter against the playoff-seasoned Dallas Mavericks, leading the Hornets to a 104-92 victory and a 1-0 lead in their best-of-seven first-round series at the New Orleans Arena on Saturday night.
Paul scored 15 of his game-high 35 points in the third quarter when the Hornets outscored the Mavericks 36-20 to take a 76-72 lead.
He didn't stop there. He made three of four shots in the fourth quarter for nine points that helped extend the Hornets' lead to 15 with 1:17 remaining.
"I was really looking forward to this opportunity," Paul said.
"I talked to a lot of people, my teammates, my coaches, and they said just play our game and have fun and let everything else take care of itself. The biggest thing that I have learned about the playoffs in one game is the preparation for it. What enabled us to get around in the third quarter was our defense. We picked up our defensive intensity."
Paul, who also had a game-high 10 assists, left a sellout crowd of 17,446 chanting "MVP, MVP." He was so spectacular that Saints owner Tom Benson, enjoying his first Hornets game since the team relocated to New Orleans from Charlotte, N.C., stood up next to Hornets owner
George Shinn and clapped like just another jubilant fan.
The Hornets entered the playoffs as underdogs -- despite their No. 2 seeding -- supposedly lacking experience to handle the pressure.
"We know this is going to be a long, grind-it-out series," Mavericks Coach Avery Johnson
said, looking ahead to Game 2 Tuesday night at the Arena.

The state Department of Environmental Conservation has a host of rule changes its considering that would take effect Oct. 1, 2010 if approved. Among the changes:
- Establishing a statewide regulation for the cleaning of fish on state waters, requiring all species with a minimum size limit to not be dismembered, filleted, skinned or otherwise altered so that the species and the total length cannot be dteremined. Currently, the rule applies to only five species: walleye, black bas, brook trout, lake trout and Atlantic salmon;
- Getting rid of the "5 plus 5" regulation for a daily take of five brook trout under 8 inches, in addition to the statewide limit of five trout of any species. The daily creel limit would become just five trout of any species. Counties affected by this change include Broome, Onondaga, Caygua, Cortland, Oswego, Madison, Chenango, Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Hamilton, Herkimer, Saratoga, Tioga, Tompkins, Warren and Washington counties.
- Establish a 1.8 mile section for catch and release, artificial lures only trout fishing on Chittenango Creek. The section would be located between Cazenovia and Chittenango.

South Africa's James Kingston claimed the clubhouse lead in the weather-disrupted BMW PGA Championship as Luke Donald's bid for a third straight victory suffered a potentially fatal blow.
Kingston recorded seven birdies and one bogey to card a six-under-par 66 at Wentworth shortly before the threat of lightning saw play suspended at 3:42pm, with the final group having teed off seconds earlier.
A 90-minute delay meant the opening round would not be completed on schedule, but there was enough time for Donald to sign for an opening 78 to lie 12 shots off the lead.
"I got off to a very slow start, it felt like I had no rhythm and feel," said Donald, who is looking to emulate Colin Montgomerie (1998-2000) in winning the European Tour's flagship event for three years in succession.
"I don't know if it was the cold but I was struggling to feel my hands a little bit. Even when I had my opportunities I didn't take them."
Asked if his chances of victory had gone, Donald added: "You never say that. This place always plays quite tough. The forecast tomorrow is not good so hopefully a low round will get me back in the tournament, but it's certainly disappointing to be this far back."
Kingston is only in the field on a sponsor's invite after losing his card at the end of last season, but the 47-year-old made the most of it to lead by one shot from Finland's Mikko Ilonen, with Scotland's Scott Henry and Spain's Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano a shot further back.
"I never felt like I played poorly enough to lose my card and that's what makes it even more frustrating," said Kingston, whose last of two European Tour victories came in the Mercedes Benz Championship in 2009.
"I felt like I played half decent throughout the whole season, but just never managed to put a score on the board. It does make it a little harder to accept. Getting an invite into this event, what a great feeling to be back here. I think I've made the most of it today."
Ilonen had earlier survived everything the British summer could throw at him, including a brief spell of hail, to card a 67 as he looked to build on a run of two second places in his last three events.
"It was pretty nippy when we started and stayed that way," said Ilonen, who finished second in the Hassan Trophy and Volvo China Open recently.
"All day I was thinking 'Can I get these waterproof trousers off?' and never managed it. We even had hail on the ninth tee. I said to a friend last night it was going to snow today and she laughed at me. It's British summer and we have proof of that."
Henry, who only found out he was in the tournament as he boarded a flight from Madeira on Monday morning, completed a 68 which started with a bogey but also contained four birdies and an eagle.
"It was nice to see my name on the leaderboard on the back nine, it was a bit surreal," said the 26-year-old, who graduated from the Challenge Tour last season thanks to winning the Kazakhstan Open in a play-off.
"I was pretty nervous this morning, it's a big tournament and the first time I have been here. It's a great test of golf and for the first time this year I could put everything together."
All but one of last year's victorious Ryder Cup team are in the 150-man field, but several of them fell victim to the closing stretch at Wentworth - scene of the most controversial parts of Ernie Els' redesign in 2010.
England's Justin Rose - runner-up last year and beaten in a play-off in 2007 - finished bogey, double-bogey to drop from three under to level, while world number two Rory McIlroy had also been three under after 12 holes but bogeyed five of the last six to be home in 41 for a two-over 74.
Even reverting to a Scotty Cameron putter rather than use the Nike club he is contracted to following his multi-million pound deal in January did not help the world number two.
"It was one of those rounds that I let slip through my fingers," McIlroy said. "My hands were cold, I was wearing mittens all the way round trying to keep them warm, but I'm pretty unfamiliar with these conditions after playing in warmer climates."
McIlroy's playing partner Graeme McDowell - the pair are back on good terms after a minor disagreement over McIlroy's imminent change of management groups - also ran up a double-bogey seven on the 18th in matching McIlroy's 74.
Ian Poulter finished bogey-bogey in a 76, but Sergio Garcia at least enjoyed a moment of pleasure in a week so far dominated by a racism row involving Tiger Woods, the Spaniard holing from 20 feet for eagle on the last in a round of 72.

The dueling comments suggest a potential new clash over Israel's three-year-old blockade of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip - and come only four days after an Israeli commando raid on a larger aid flotilla left nine activists dead.
Greta Berlin, a spokesman for the Free Gaza group, said in Nicosia the 1,200-ton Rachel Corrie is heading directly to Gaza and will not stop in any port on the way. It is trying to deliver hundreds of tons of aid, including wheelchairs, medical supplies and concrete.
By Friday afternoon, the ship was 150 miles (240 kilometers) from the coast of Gaza in international waters, the group said on its website. Irish Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mairead McGuire and the former head of the U.N. Oil-for-Food program in Iraq, Denis Halliday, were among the 11 passengers on board.
The Irish vessel is named after an American college student crushed to death by an Israeli army bulldozer while protesting house demolitions in Gaza.
Israel will not allow the aid ship to reach Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told senior Cabinet ministers late Thursday. According to a participant in the meeting, he said Israel made several offers to direct the ship to an Israeli port, where the aid supplies would be unloaded, inspected and transferred to Gaza by land, but the offers were rejected.
Netanyahu has hotly rejected calls to lift the blockade on Gaza, insisting that it prevents missile attacks on Israel. The Rachel Corrie's cargo of concrete is also a problem, because Israel considers that to have military uses.
Netanyahu has instructed the military to act with sensitivity in preventing the Rachel Corrie from landing and avoid harming those on board, the participant said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the meeting was closed.
Israel has rejected demands for an international panel to probe Monday's deadly commando raid on the aid ships, saying it can conduct a professional, impartial investigation on its own.
Activists say Israel sabotaged the previous aid flotilla, and Israeli defense officials said Friday only that unspecified "actions" were taken when the boats were still far from Gaza that delayed the flotilla. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the information was classified.
The Turkish activists' deaths on the aid ship increased tensions in the Mideast, especially with Turkey, an important ally of Israel. On Thursday, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan called Israel's actions "a historic mistake."

Nigel Evans cut an awkward figure in the dock, shifting uncomfortably as he pored over the bundle of documents on his lap that documented the lurid details of his personal life.
His repressed sexuality, heavy drinking and the death of his mother combined to paint the picture of a lonely man struggling to define himself well into middle age.
He spoke of his regret over failing to come out as gay while his mother, Betty Evans, was alive. He told the jury that when she died of a hospital-contracted infection he had started to drink more.

|Scott Brown visits supporters
Brown arrived driving his now-familiar dark green GMC pickup truck with 200,000-plus miles on the odometer. He took the stage, with its faux beach shack and painted-on palm trees, to thunderous applause.
"Now Brown's bigger than the Beatles," joked Chicopee Mayor Michael D. Bissonnette.
Brown, a Republican, is crisscrossing the state this weekend as part of a thank-you tour to voters who elected him over Democrat Martha M. Coakley in the Jan. 19 special election to fill the unexpired term of the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.
|Scott Brown returns to Western Mass to thank voters
Back in December, Brown and a campaign aide ate at the Hu Ke Lau. Brown had just won the Republican primary and trailed Coakley by as much as 15 points in some polls.
Hu Ke Lau owner Andy Yee said he didn't know who Brown was that night when the senator-to-be ordered the General Tso's chicken and asked for permission to hand out campaign literature and visit with diners.
"Now, he's my best friend," Yee said.
Brenden J. Hammerle, of Springfield, said he first met Brown after volunteering to make calls from Brown's campaign headquarters in Holyoke. Brown visited to rally his troops.
"He really made us believe that he could win," Hammerle said.
Once he did win, Brown found himself at the center of the nation's attention as the 41st Republican, the vote the party would need to end a filibuster.
On Thursday night, the senator-elect landed a spot on "The Jay Leno Show" via satellite for the "Ten at Ten" segment. Leno asked about the photo spread Brown did back in 1982 for Cosmopolitan magazine on winning the "America's Sexiest Man" contest.
Brown also restated his challenge to President Barack H. Obama to meet for a two-on-two basketball match at the White House, bringing his daughter, Boston College basketball player Ayla Brown.
It could be a family affair in more ways than one. Just hours before the Chicopee appearance, Brown learned from genealogists that he and Obama are 10th cousins. Obama's mother and Brown's mother are both descendants of Richard Singletary, of Haverhill, who died in 1687.
"I think it's great," Brown said. "I'm going try to use it to my advantage and get some things for Massachusetts."
That sense of humor got Brown in a bit of trouble on election night when he announced in his victory speech that his two college-age daughters are "available."
In response Trina L. Stiles, of Chester, and Kimberly D. Sorel, of Westfield, brought along a big poster reading "Our Sons are Available."
Both women swore they had gotten permission from their boys, 22-year-old Brendan Stiles and 19-year-old Jeremy W. Sorel, before making up the poster. The moms also figured their sons would make better matches than all the men who flooded the Brown sisters' e-mail and Facebook accounts in the last week.
"Our sons are polite gentlemen," Sorel said. "And, they are cute."
Brown laughed when he signed the poster.

PORTAGE TOWNSHIP - An agreement between the Portage Township Board of Trustees and the owners of the Valley View Quarry was tentatively approved by both parties Tuesday.
Bruce Petersen, Portage Township supervisor, said the 17-page document provides limits for such things as hours of operation, including six Saturdays during the business season, noise and dust control and what to do with the quarry once operations cease there.
"It will have remediation once the pit is closed," he said.

Petersen said the parties have agreed to the format of the agreement, but there are still some steps to be taken before it becomes official.
"It has yet to be signed by both parties," he said.
The agreement then must be approved and signed by Gogebic Circuit Court Judge Roy Gotham, who presided over a suit regarding the quarry, Petersen said.
In February 2011, the township and nearby property owners Victor and Emily Betterly and Kevin Grzelak filed lawsuits claiming the quarry was operating illegally because it was in an area zoned rural residential. That suit was decided in favor of the plaintiffs. Gogebic Circuit Court Judge Roy Gotham ordered the quarry to cease operations and for the owners of the quarry to begin the process to seek a special use permit. In July 2011, quarry owners, Thomas J. Moyle Jr. Inc., filed a lawsuit in federal court in Marquette asking for a temporary restraining order, or in the alternative a request for preliminary injunction against Portage Township be dismissed. The judge hearing that suit recommended it be dismissed.
Quarry owners did submit an application for a special use permit, but before that process went forward, the attorneys for the township and the quarry decided to work on a consent judgement, which has tentatively been agreed upon.
Regarding noise abatement, Petersen said one earthen berm will be constructed to block noise from the quarry and another berm will be constructed around the quarry generator, which will be moved to a wooded area on the site.
"It will deflect the sound," he said.
Andy Moyle, Moyle Companies president of real estate and development, said although the agreement isn't exactly what he would like, he's glad it's done.

Groton - When it comes to a life-altering career move a, James Whittaker of Salem supposes his entry into the municipal police academy at age 48 is probably a big one.
But Whittaker appears to be unfazed by the fact he's training with men and women half his age and must spend nearly six months away from his family. He's also not the oldest. Whittaker said there is a former firefighter from New York at the academy who is a year older.
Whittaker stayed in shape through the years and had no trouble passing the initial physical tests that are a prerequisite to apply. And the way he sees it, when he emerges from the academy later this year and starts a stable, well-paying job at the Groton City Police Department, his family will be all the better for it.
It's also not the first career move for the Montville native, who in 2005 was abruptly forced to give up the job he'd been doing most of his life.
He had spent many summers in New London working for his late grandfather's catering business before he took over in the 1990s. His grandfather, James Sigros, ran several Bank Street restaurants, including the Hygienic until 1972, before taking over catering and concession services aboard ferries run by Cross Sound Ferry. Whittaker had been running the business for about 10 years when the ferry service decided in 2005 to run its own food service.
Whittaker and the 50 or so employees working for him had just several months' notice. His wife, Sharon, was pregnant with their fifth child at the time.
"I had four months to figure something out," Whittaker said. "Having done the same thing for most of my life ... I wasn't sure what to do."
So he made use of some contacts and savings and bought a dump truck for $130,000 and earned his commercial driver's license. He said he'd never driven a truck before but set out to make a living doing road construction work. "I kind of went into it blind. It was a struggle," he admits.
He hung it up in 2012, saying it just wasn't enough, especially with his two oldest kids in college. He sold the truck in January.
"I didn't have a job but enough money from the truck to take a leap of faith," he said of his decision to go for a job in law enforcement.
Faith is something Whittaker is familiar with. He has spent the past several years studying at a Boston seminary to become a deacon. He expects to be ordained in 2015 at St. Sophia Hellenic Orthodox Church in New London.
Police officers and those working with the church are both essentially doing similar work, he said, which is serving the community.
Law enforcement was something he'd thought about after high school, before he went into business administration, but he is color blind, and he always thought he would be ruled out. After speaking with some police officer friends, many of whom are now retired, he learned that it shouldn't be an issue.
Groton City Police Chief Thomas Davoren called Whittaker a "good catch for us" and doesn't see age as any kind of an obstacle.
Whittaker said he was surprised to find how supportive and involved in the hiring process Davoren was.
While Whittaker said some people poke fun at him about his age, the atmosphere at the academy is one of camaraderie, and cadets have no choice but to bond while working each day through a series of military-style drills.
Of the career change, Whittaker said, "This is the next stage and the last stage."

Every year Boy Scout Troop 334 of Cascade Christian Church ceremoniously retires American flags during a camping weekend.
Last weekend they pitched more than 15 tents on one of the older decommissioned shooting ranges of the Kent County Conservation League located on Conservation Road in Ada for the annual outing.
"For at least five years we have done this popular and important outing with the Troop" said Mike Smith, committee chair of Troop 334. "This campout always tops off a week of learning proper gun safety, doing a community service project for KCCL's Gun Club, and a special campfire by honorably retiring American flags we have collected throughout the year."
This year Troop 334 decommissioned more than 100 American flags. Late Saturday afternoon the Scouts helped prepare the large quantity of decommissioned flags for the evening's special retirement ceremony.
Boy Scout Jonathan Ribbens helped lead the flag ceremony and passed out the flag remnants to the participants.
During the weekend they helped the Conservation League clear an expanded parking lot by removing branches and stumps. The Scouts also finalized their Rifle and Shot Gun merit badges with proper usage and supervised gun safety on the multiple shooting ranges.
The troop, parents, siblings, and Scout alumni enjoyed a 100-pound roasted pig prepared by Scoutmaster Dave Klein and his brother Rudy Klein, who spent eight months building the specially made cooker wagon.
"We have a great group of Scouts," said Smith. "Not only do we have our normal Boy Scout troop, we also have a Co-Ed Venture Crew of older boys and girls 14-20. Both groups are sponsored by Cascade Christian Church and work together in all that we do within the community."

Ducks fan birdfluduck expects big things from Oregon in 2010 and thinks that recruits at linebacker such as Chris McCain could make big contributions by 2011.
"Nobody except USC in the Pac-10 puts as many people in the NFL as Oregon does. Oregon wins championships. Has the best academic support center in the nation. The best facilities. Award winning nutritionist James Harris, and Pac-10 HC of the year Chip Kelly. We return 18 starters and will be ranked in the top 5 this year. 2011 We lose our top two Lbs (probably to the NFL) so there's plenty of PT. The one negative is we have an attention craving obsessive rival... but when you beat them every year it's not so bad. I see no reason why McCain shouldn't be a Duck. I hope he signs with Oregon."

Friesan Fire fooled trainer Larry Jones in a workout Monday morning at the Fair Grounds.
Preparing for the Louisiana Derby, Friesan Fire, with jockey Gabriel Saez aboard, worked five furlongs in 1:01 2-5. The time was what Jones wanted, though to him, Friesan Fire appeared to be running slower than that.
"It surprised me Friesan Fire worked that fast,'' Jones said. He said that before he heard the time, he was ready to get mad at either Saez or the colt. After hearing the time, Jones was happy with both of them.
"If this horse worked that fast this morning, he's starting to get good,'' Jones said.
Saez said: "He's going to be ready for the Derby. Larry knows what he's doing.''
Friesan Fire, who won the Lecomte and Risen Star at the Fair Grounds, will be among the favorites in the Louisiana Derby on March 14. A field of perhaps 10 or 11 3-year-olds is shaping up for the $600,000, Grade II race, the feature on a card with six stakes with purses totaling $2.2 million. Entries will be taken next Monday.
Others being pointed to the Louisiana Derby are Risen Star runner-up Flying Pegasus; Lecomte runner-up Patena, who'll be racing for the first time under trainer Richard Dutrow; Giant Oak, who had a troubled trip and finished fifth as the favorite in the Risen Star; Uno Mas, the third-place finisher in the Risen Star; Nowhere to Hide, who was fourth in that race; graded-stakes winner Terrain, who'll be racing for the first time as a 3-year-old; Papa Clem, runner-up in the Robert B. Lewis at Santa Anita; Free Country, coming off a fourth-place finish in the Sam F. Davis at Tampa Bay Downs; and Soul Warrior, who finished sixth in the Risen Star. Silver City, who finished second to Old Fashioned in the Southwest Stakes, is a possibility for either the Louisiana Derby or the Rebel at Oaklawn Park on the same day, trainer Bret Calhoun said Monday.
Uno Mas and Soul Warrior worked six furlongs together Monday in 1:14 4-5 for trainer Steve Asmussen.
Other Grade II races on the March 14 card are the $500,000 New Orleans Handicap for older horses, the $400,000 Fair Grounds Oaks for 3-year-old fillies and the $500,000 Mervin Muniz for older horses on turf. The other stakes are the $125,000 Duncan F. Kenner, a sprint for older horses, and the $75,000 Bienville, a turf sprint for fillies and mares.
Likely New Orleans Handicap favorite Honest Man, who won the Mineshaft decisively, worked five furlongs in 1:01 4-5 on Monday for Jones. "I told (Saez) to keep Honest Man as slow as he can,'' Jones said.
Others being pointed to the New Orleans Handicap are Brothers Nicholas, Dry Martini, Golden Yank, Good and Lucky, It's a Bird, Macho Again, My Pal Charlie, Secret Getaway, Slew's Tiznow and Star Guitar. Horses being considered for the race, according to their trainers, are Wishful Tomcat, Recapturetheglory and King Dan.
Secret Getaway worked five furlongs Monday in 1:00 for trainer Mike Stidham.
A small field, headed by Grade II winner Rachel Alexandra, is expected for the Fair Grounds Oaks. She's based at Oaklawn Park under trainer Hal Wiggins. Her expected rivals are Silverbulletday runner-up Four Gifts, Flying Spur and War Tigress. Trainer Ken McPeek said Monday he's considering sending one or two fillies from the Florida-based trio of Our Dahlia, Striking Dancer and Best Lass for the Oaks.
Asmussen, who trains Four Gifts, said last weekend that Hightap might join her in the race. Asmussen lost a prime Oaks contender when Silverbulletday winner War Echo was sidelined with an injury that will keep her out of training for a few months.
Four Gifts worked six furlongs with stablemate Captain Cherokee in 1:15 3-5 on Monday. Hightap worked a half-mile in 50 4-5 seconds.
A strong Muniz field appears likely. Fair Grounds Handicap winner Diamond Tycoon, trained by Andrew McKeever, will be among the favorites. Proudinsky, who won the race last year for trainer Bobby Frankel, will be back. Trainer Christophe Clement said Monday he's planning to send multiple graded-stakes winner Gio Ponti for the race.
Others being pointed to the Muniz are Transduction Gold, French Beret, Windward Islands, Corrupt, Demarcation, El Caballo, My Happiness and Sir Whimsey.

Patient influx at Jamestown family clinic
In the past five months the Jamestown Family Health Clinic has experienced a 15-percent new patient increase which totals nearly 2,000 new patients.
Because of the patient influx the clinic is experiencing it has had to stop accepting new patients with the exception of Medicaid insured patients.
"The demand of patients coming in was higher than the speed we could ramp up," Jamestown Family Health Clinic director of Health Services Brent Simcosky said. "I think that did catch us by surprise a little bit."
Simcosky and Jamestown Family Health Clinic Budget and Planning manager Gene Burwell said they anticipated an increase of new patients with the onset of Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act effective January 2014, but they thought the patient increase would spread out over time.
Large patient influx
"All kinds of things fell into place with a couple of people closing their practices and retiring, an increase of seniors moving to Sequim and retiring and Affordable Care Act patients and those were a combination of Medicaid expansion and quality health plans," Simcosky said.
Overall Simcosky feels the amount of new patients is a good thing because perhaps "people that didn't have health care now do," but the steep increase also causes problems. For example, the time to see a new patient requires a 40-minute appointment opposed to the 20-30-minute appointment for established patients; thus with nearly 2,000 new patients in need of 40-minute appointments the ability for the clinic to maintain its scheduling system is compromised.
Open access scheduling
The Jamestown Family Health Clinic uses an "open access scheduling" system explained Simcosky. The idea of open access scheduling is to try to get patients seen at the time they're experiencing a health problem or concern.
"Our goal is take as many patients as we effectively can and still maintain our open access scheduling," Simcosky said. "That's very important to us and it's been very difficult."
Open access scheduling is difficult to maintain because there needs to be the right supply and demand, Simcosky explained, but the scheduling system shows improved medical outcomes because it encourages people to come in before their symptoms are out of control. In order to maintain an open access schedule system, Jamestown Family Health Clinic tries to avoid making appointments multi-months in advance and instead tries to have the next third appointment available for a patient's primary care provider.
In anticipation of a patient increase Burwell and Simcosky have been actively recruiting new doctors for the past six months. Even with a new physician, a new Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) and two new physician assistants hired within the past three months hasn't been enough to ease the demand of patients.
However, even if a physician became available, one reason the clinic is unable to accept new commercially insured patients is because the newer providers have not been contracted by regular commercial insurances yet, Burwell explained. It can take up to three months for a new doctor to have the ability to see commercially insured patients. In contrast, Medicaid in Washington is very quick to add new providers.
"To the best of my knowledge we are the only clinic in the area that's taking Medicaid," Burwell said. "We're definitely the largest."
And in addition to being the largest primary care clinic in Clallam County and despite that more than 95 percent of patients are non-Native American, as a tribal clinic Jamestown Family Health Clinic receives a better reimbursement rate from Medicaid.
"It works out better for us and we're therefore able to provide the service to the community," Simcosky said.
Unique demographic
About half of the new patients are younger than Jamestown Family Health Clinic's existing patient demographic and are using Apple Health. Washington Apple Health is Medicaid expansion in action within Washington as part of the Affordable Care Act.
"I think some of our new patients are a mixture of young people who didn't have insurance and young families who also benefited from Medicaid expansion by falling into the area where they could get access to state-sponsored health insurance," Burwell said. "There's still a lot of families where the parents make too much money to be on Medicaid, but don't make enough to buy health insurance."
Currently the clinic serves 14,000 active patients and 15 percent of their patients use Apple Health.
Creating a younger patient demographic is less expensive for Jamestown Family Health Clinic because younger people tend to require less medical attention.
"Our average visits per year is 3.9 visits," Simcosky said. "The industry average is 3.1 visits per year so we're a little high, which means it's very expensive for us to provide health care so to get a younger demographic in our mix it good for us and the community."
But Simcosky and Burwell agree they need to continue to concentrate on the senior demographic and improving their health outcomes as efficiently as possible.
"The population is aging, which means patients are aging, but so are the caregivers," Burwell said. "There's going to be rapid retirement of health care staff when the population ages and that's also a national issue."
Serving an older patient demographic in Sequim is somewhat a unique problem, but what staff at Jamestown Family Health Care are having to figure out now everywhere else will soon be experiencing.
"All you have to do is look at the baby boomers and where they are at right now," Simcosky said. "Soon people are going to be looking at us to see whether we did it (efficiently provided a older patient demographic health care) right or didn't do it right."
Looking to the future of health care, Jamestown Family Health Clinic is in its preliminary stages to join Olympic Medical Center and the Providence Community Connect by changing from its current electronic records system to a network known as Epic.
The implementation kick-off is in a couple of weeks, but the clinic expects to "go live" Aug. 17, Simcosky explained.
However, Simcosky and Burwell don't anticipate immediate results and expect a learning curve for their staff.
When all training and costs are accounted for, Burwell expects the clinic's transition to Epic to be more than $500,000.
"It's a huge investment for us," Simcosky said. "But we cannot be a clinic this size and not do it."
In addition to providing a number tools needed improve health care and make it more efficient, Simcosky feels Epic will help Jamestown Family Health Clinic streamline access to patient records because patient data from hospitals and specialists using Epic will be available to Jamestown medical providers.
"Providence Health and Services just in the Northwest has put $750 million into Epic Community Connect implementation in order to connect the medical community," Simcosky said. "Just to name a few, the University of Washington is on Epic, GroupHealth, Swedish Medical Center, Providence Health and Services and the Franciscan Health System are on Epic."
For now Epic will not alleviate the immediate patient influx the Jamestown Family Health Clinic is experiencing, but by June or July Simcosky and Burwell hope to determine the conditions and needs of their new patients and thus begin accepting non-Medicaid patients again.
The clinic is better off to be realistic and slow its acceptance of new patients than continue to accept patients and not be able to schedule appointments for another two months, Burwell explained.
"Every now and again when you have a large influx of new patients like this you have to take a couple steps back and take a deep breath and see where we're at and what can we do moving forward and we just don't know yet," Simcosky said.
In the meantime, Jamestown Family Health Clinic staff is continually calling local clinics to determine who is taking new patients in order to provide people with alternatives, but the clinics accepting new patients are constantly changing. For patients that need more urgent, but not emergency room attention, the clinic recommends Olympic Medical Center's Walk-in Clinic.

Eschewing the advice of legendary pitcher Satchel Paige, the sports apparel giant couldn't help but look behind a little to see what economic gremlins might be gaining on them. But for the most part, Nike executives reveled in the company's high-flying June to August performance.
"Our first quarter results are a great start to the year," Nike president and chief executive Mark Parker said, "and demonstrate the tremendous growth potential of the Nike portfolio."
In a conference call, stock analysts appeared to line up to congratulate the company on its quarterly performance:
A profit of $559 million, or $1.14 a share, which is up 10 percent from last year.
Revenues hit $5.2 billion, up 8 percent over the same period last year.
Inventories were down 3 percent versus prior year.
And, in a subject brought up multiple times in the conference call, advance bookings for orders to be delivered over the next several months totaled $7.1 billion -- 10 percent higher than orders reported for the same period last year.
That's the highest in more than a decade, said Nike brand president Charlie Denson.
He said, the company even finds itself in a position of struggling to meet demand in select technical footwear and performance apparel products.
"We're working closely with our manufacturing partners to accelerate production and meet demand on these highly sought-after products," Denson said.
Denson credited the World Cup in June for raising Nike's profile in soccer. And he noted, just as Parker had done in the company's annual shareholders meeting on Monday, that Andres Iniesta of Spain was wearing a Nike boot when he kicked the winning goal for Spain in the final.
It will be 2012 -- the Summer Olympics in London -- before another major global sporting event comes along offering such a large international stage for Nike products.
Analysts found little to quibble with over the first-quarter results. The company's performance exceeded projections of analysts, who had been expecting $1.01 a share profit on $5.22 billion in sales.
"Very impressive," said Christopher Svezia, a footwear analyst with Susquehanna Financial Group. "Clearly, the growth is broad based. ... Those kinds of futures were extremely impressive."
Continued expansion in global markets offers more sales growth, said Sara Hasan, an analyst with McAdams Wright Ragen.
"There's still a lot to grow," Hasan said, in part because, despite a world economic slowdown, overall global wealth is growing.
Yet Svezia and Hasan saw the same warning signs mentioned by Parker.
"Potential headwinds include all the usual suspects," Parker said, "Raw materials, energy, labor and transportation costs."
Nike's closed at $81.53 on the New York Stock Exchange. Following the earnings report, the stock gained 6 cents.
As for LeRoy Robert "Satchel" Paige, a Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher, he once said, "Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you."
Of course, the loquacious Paige also is said to have said: "Avoid running at all times."

Cash-rich tech stocks such as Dell (Nasdaq: DELL ) and Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO ) are frequently berated for either not paying dividends (Dell) or not paying enough in dividends (Cisco). But the critics often ignore that both of these companies are serial buyers of their own stock -- which is financially better than a dividend, since dividends are ultimately taxed twice. Dell repurchased a net 13.91% of its shares from 2007 to 2010, the equivalent of a 3.3% annual and reinvested dividend, while Cisco bought back a net 6.7%, the equivalent of a 1.6% annual and reinvested payout.
Dell is continuing its tradition this fiscal year. The company announced yesterday, in advance of today's annual analyst meeting, that it has repurchased $1.6 billion in stock this year and intends to purchase $400 million more by the end of this fiscal year, ending January 2012. That's a grand total of $2 billion, or the equivalent of paying a juicy 6.5% dividend for 2011.
As a shareholder, I'm happy about this.
You may ask why, since I'm known to be a skeptic of dividends and, by extension, buybacks. And the answer is simple: I think Dell is grossly undervalued, something I've written about lots of times. Shareholders always benefit when management throws money at projects with abnormally high risk-adjusted returns …including its own shares. Cisco, I might add, should step up the buybacks for the same reason.
If Dell's shares (or Cisco's) were overvalued, I'd be the first to rally against their buybacks. But they're not. Thus, I'm a happy Fool, at least for today.
Going after Apple?
Some pundits and analysts are doubtlessly waiting with bated breath to see what Dell has to say today about Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL ) iPad and the potential threat that its tablet and those like it pose to Dell's boring old PC business.
Well, I couldn't care less. I've played with the iPad 2 in stores, as well as Research In Motion's (Nasdaq: RIMM ) Playbook, and as far as I can tell there's nothing there that would make me less likely to buy a real computer. Besides, Dell has the Streak 7 for those looking for a 4G tablet on the cheap.
I think Apple and Dell will ultimately coexist peacefully in the tech world, with Dell sticking to enterprise and commoditization and Apple sticking to consumers and innovation. Dell will imitate successfully, and Apple will (maybe) continue to innovate successfully.
It's the circle of (tech) life!
