Federal government announces plan to assist Detroit and other urban centers

Jul 11, 2011

The Obama administration today unveiled a federal program aimed at helping cities like Detroit revitalize parts of their urban core.

The Strong Cities, Strong Communities program will target Detroit, Fresno, Memphis, Cleveland, New Orleans, and Chester, Pa.

And in keeping with federal government style, officials have given the program an acronym, SC2.

U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan unveiled the program with Detroit Mayor Dave Bing this morning.

From a HUD press release:

"On behalf of the Obama Administration, it is an honor to announce the SC2 initiative in Detroit, one of America's most unique and vibrant cities," said U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan. "This will be a new type of federal partnership for Detroit - one that will allow the city to build on its progress and further strengthen its foundation for economic growth and resiliency in a global economy."

Officials say the program seeks to cut through federal red tape by providing communities with technical assistance to ensure federal and local dollars are spent wisely.

Federal representatives will help Mayor Bing tackle issues he had identified as "vital to their economic strategies, including efforts to build on local assets, strengthen regional economies, develop transportation infrastructure, improve job-training programs and support community revitalization."

The federal representatives who will provide assistance to Detroit will come from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, U.S. Department of Labor, U.S. Department of Transportation, U.S. Department of Commerce and the Small Business Administration.

The program also seeks to establish a fellowship program that will place "early- to mid-career professionals to serve multi-year terms in local government positions to give cities additional capacity."

Funding for the fellowship program comes from the Rockefeller Foundation ($2.5 million).

From the press release, Mayor Bing said:

"Strong Cities, Strong Communities is a program that will help us make Detroit a city that works. The support of the Obama Administration is critical as we continue to strengthen neighborhoods, put Detroiters back to work and improve essential services such as transportation."

Of all the guys who post to this board, I'm the last one who mentions a shakeup of the staff as a way to improve the Wolverines. I've always felt coaching is overrated and have adopted the "Moneyball" philosophy about the head guys, though it's less true in football than in baseball. I believe it's not so much the X's and O's, it's the Jimmies and the Joes: Players win and lose games. That's not to say coaches don't make any difference. I just believe that their role is overrated and the calls of firing coaches is usually just frustration, rather than education, on the part of fans.
Now this is not a rant about Lloyd. I don't believe he's on any sort of hot seat next year, and I don't think he should be. His record stands on its own and, despite a disappointing season this year, he has built up so much winning capital - we've just come off back to back Rose Bowl seasons - that when he leaves as head coach is totally his call.
But I just watched tOSU's final drive again even though I promised myself I wouldn't. I can't get over the complete collapse of our defense. We didn't even force a third down. We missed tackles, didn't get off blocks, never made a negative play that could have won us the game. Actually I'm not surprised. The defense did the same thing all year - four times they were on the field at the end of the fourth quarter, where a stop would win us the game and once where a stop would force OT against a backup QB. ALL FIVE TIMES THEY FAILED. Just by chance, you'd think the opponent would screw up once, but no. Wisconsin drove for a game-winning TD. Minnesota broke off an inexplicable 60+ yard run to set up a winning FG. Iowa drove for a tying FG. Pennsylvania State scored a TD. tOSU drove twice for TDs. In their defense, the D stood up to Iowa in OT, but they were bailed out by the offense against Pennsylvania State.
So even though the D was improved over last year - we didn't get gashed as we did so many times last year - and even though the offense was largely to blame for the losses to ND and Wisconsin, and even tOSU to a degree, the defense showed a continual lack of being able to make a play when it counted. And I'm not just saying this because of the frustration against tOSU. This happened five out of a possible five times.
So despite the overall improvement in the defense, despite the more effective play against the spread offenses that killed us in '04, and despite probably playing better than the offense in most of the games, I think it's time for a change.
Jim Herrmann is undoubtedly a Michigan Man, moreso than anyone of us posting to or reading this board. He was a player in the early '80s under Bo and has been on the coaching staff 20 years, including two as a grad assistant and two as a volunteer coach. His first year as defensive coordinator was, by far, his best, leading to the National Championship in 1997. But the defenses have been disappointing since, and have, no doubt, underachieved. The last two years, the defense has cost the team from accomplishing major things. It's time for a new defensive coordinator at Michigan.
I doubt Lloyd will make the change. He rightly values loyalty, and he certainly knows more about his team and his staff than I do. But if Lloyd wants more people to think about him the way I do, he needs to make some changes, and the defense needs a change the most.

Yost said...

Excellent post and, unfortunately, I couldn't agree more.

First of all, as you mentioned, when one looks at the defensive collapses, don't just look at the losses. Some of our "thrilling" wins came about only b/c the defense couldn't make a stop in the 4th quarter. This year alone consider these examples:
* Rose Bowl -- ONE stop in the 4th quarter and Michigan wins. But they couldn't get the job done.
* Wisco -- The Badgers drive some 60 yards to score the winning TD w/ :24 seconds left
* Minnie -- I will say this over and over again, as the Gophers were simply trying to RUN OUT THE CLOCK, they break off a 61 yard run and kick the winning FG w/ :02 seconds left
* PSU -- The only reason we needed the last-play heroics was b/c our D couldn't stop the NitLi's on the previous drive, allowing PSU to score a TD with :41 seconds left
* Iowa -- yes, we won in OT. But the reason we needed OT was b/c, yet again, the D couldn't stop a 4th quarter drive in which Iowa kicked the tying FG.
* tOSU -- Seven minutes, up two scores, one stop wins the game. But as Benny pointed out, the D couldn't even force a 3rd down on the Buck's winning drive.

Loyalty is an excellent trait. But a coach has to be a leader and part of that is recognizing that he must make a tough choice for the good of the team. This is one of those times for Lloyd. Unfortunately, it's time to shake up the staff.

The King said...

Ha. Get on the boat, gentlemen. Finally. Loyalty is all well and good, but you can't favor loyalty over success. If you're losing games that you should win because of loyalty, then you have to take a serious look at the system you run, because your job, above all else, is to WIN GAMES. Especially games you really ought to win.

Herrmann is awful with excellent personel, and has been for years. This is not surprising. What still pisses me off is the overall coaching philosophy of daring the opponent to beat us, as opposed to beating them ourselves.

Here's an example. It's 4th and 4 or so on what, the 35? Maybe? And as we all knew we would (this is ALWAYS a bad sign), we pooch punt to the 15. OK, that's a good punt. Nice job, fatso. But let's take a look at what we've just done. We've handed the ball back to a talented offense who only needs a field goal to beat us, with all the time in the world. On top of that, we've done it KNOWING that Herrmann will be running our patented prevent defense. Against a team with a running QB. This is a joke, right?

You watch a game like the incredible USC/Fresno State game, and there's no doubt whatsoever that Pat Hill would have gone for it on that fourth down, because AT WORST they have better field position, which really means nothing at all when you are running a defense that doesn not match up correctly with their offense. And, as it happens, Pat Hill is probably the hottest coach in the country this morning, because say what you will about his program, but they go out TO WIN. We go out to NOT LOSE. There's a big difference. Watching those two teams on Saturday, UM and Fresno, the difference in attitude was night and day. Those Fresno kids believed 100% they could win that game, and they played liek it, and --guess what-- they almost did. THIS WAS FRESNO STATE. Playing USC. At home. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Those hoodlums can get it together for a game like that and we can't act like we seem to even care at times against our greatest rival?

I have completely lost sight of my hypothesis here. I guess now my point is, yeah Herrmann sucks, but it's an overall weak attitude and passive mentality that is plaguing our program. It's shameful.

Yost said...

Ah, yes, that 4th and 4...

You're preaching to the choir that we should have gone for it. We gained about 20 yards? So what? Going back to Benny and my comments saying that we haven't stopped anybody WHEN IT MATTERED (I don't care how we did in the 3rd quarter, NOW is when we need the stop), that past history MUST figure into a coach's decision. Must, must, must. You must know your team. And if you KNOW, from past history, that you haven't been making stops WHEN IT MATTERS, then you say, "Hmmm, maybe I should go for this. B/c then, even if they do score b/c they started on the 34 instead of the 11, that's probably another minute of clock time for us with the ball at the end instead of seconds which was the case.

The King said...

Here's an article that kind of sums it up on both accounts. I know there's many of you who will never subscribe to the "we should let them score" philosphy because it's defeatist, but the bottom line is, in the situation we were in, strategically it was the only thing to do.

Yost said...

Great article, Loef. Once they had the 1st and goal with seconds left, the game is over unless you let them score. Hey, the only reason we beat PSU is b/c they scored with :41 seconds left. Thus, giving us :35 seconds with a couple timeouts made a win at least possible. But the coaching at the end made it impossible.

Folks, check out the link Loef put in his comment. Good stuff.

Benny Friedman said...

In my many years of watching both college and pro football, I can only recall a team letting another team score once - Super Bowl XXXII (32) when Green Bay coach Mike Holmgren had his defense allow a 1 yard TD run, giving the Packers 1:45 to come back down and score. They didn't.
Although there is a legitimate argument for us letting tOSU score when they got so close, I don't think it's open and shut. Though the tOSU kicker is good, he did miss a PAT earlier. There's always a chance for a botched snap or a block. Plus, forcing them to run a couple of plays left open the chance for a fumble. The killer was really not having three timeouts to use. Actually the killer was letting them drive down the field with no resistance. TWICE.

BaggyPantsDevil said...

Michigan does get into that terrible predicament of giving the ball back to the opponent with exactly the right amount of time left on the clock for them to stage a fairly leisurely drive for the winning score. Lloyd Carr really should know better by now. The fact that the already suspect Michigan defense is tired makes a stop unlikely. Additionally, the conservative “prevent” defense—so named, because it apparently only prevents opponents from punting—simply means the opponent is free to eat up as much of the time remaining as they deem necessary.

All the pooch punt did was give Ohio State the opportunity to burn up more time so Michigan’s offense wouldn’t have the chance to score after Ohio State went ahead. One of the many frustrating aspects of this game is how Michigan flirts with the idea of playing to win—going for it on fourth down—but then doesn’t when it really counts. Either outcome of going for it on that last fourth and four would have been preferable to the outcome of the pooch punt, either Michigan would have made it or Ohio State’s inevitable score would have come quicker and Chad Henne might have had enough time to score.

I’ve often thought about the idea of letting the other team score in these situations. I know it goes against every football philosophy there is and will definitely be perceived as a slight against the defense, but in situations like these it really does seem to provide the best chance to win. I thought about it big time in the Rose Bowl against Texas and found myself hoping Ohio State would score quickly this Saturday.

I suppose one way of doing this without making it obvious would be to not play the “prevent” defense but instead play an extremely aggressive, high-risk defense, blitz often and go after the ball. First, it just might work; Michigan might actually get a sack, force a fumble, force a bad throw that gets intercepted, or get a stop outside of field goal range. Anything has to be better that letting Ohio State use up the remaining time driving the length of the field. Second, if it doesn’t work, it may give up a big play that results in a quick Ohio State score and Michigan gets the ball back with a couple of minutes remaining instead of 18 seconds. Without Steve Breaston’s kickoff return, the final touchdown against Penn State just wouldn’t have happened and with Josh Huston getting touchbacks all afternoon, a return just wasn’t very likely.

I have a feeling that Lloyd Carr is too close to Jim Herrmann. At that very least he needs to light fire underneath him to get Michigan’s defense back to where it needs to be.

Yost said...

Well said all around. Especially the part where, like you mentioned, we flirt with "playing to win" on that earlier first down from our own 40! Yet, with the game on the line, old habits die hard and we wuss out.

And also liked your thinking about playing an aggressive D. If we make a big play, we win. And if we don't, we get the ball back.

Hell, anything is better than what we've been going through.

The King said...

On a slightly positive note, at least Phil Fulmer isn't our coach.

BaggyPantsDevil said...

Although the day was a disappointing one, it did provide at least one moment of absolute beauty: the shot of Chad Henne running over to the sideline and passionately arguing with Lloyd Carr to go for it on that fourth and one.

Anonymous said...

don't usually spend time complaining after a bad season, but having lived in cow-town for 15 years, this 1-4 record against sweater boy has me steamed. the original post, as well as all the subsequent comments, are good, but they miss the big picture. the problem isn't that Carr is too close to Herrmann or loyalty counts too much or too little. the problem is that whole coaching staff is too much a product of the existing culture.

one of the early season rags (ESPN/SI) described us as the "most surprisingly successful incestuous program". incest is the right description. the bulk of these coaches are either former players or loooong time assistants going back to Moeller or even Bo.

we seldom bring in new blood from somewhere else and consequently, we haven't had much in the way of an original or new idea in the program since Moeller took over and installed the forward pass (which he learned in his brief stint at Illinois).

the coaching staff, as a group, is culturally inbred, w/ too few of them, especially those at the top, w/ much if any recent experience from anywhere else. when was the last time you heard anyone (even amongst the faithful?) describe anything about the program w/ the words "innovative", "imaginative", or "creative"???

we have some very talented coaches on staff, but they have either spent their entire careers in A2, or they have been there so long, they've forgotten what the rest of the world is like.

stability is good, but not to the point of stagnation. i don't think the long term blame or answer lies w/ one coordinator or assistant. i think the answer is to have a staff w/ coaches from different programs and different experiences, that will breath some new ideas/experiences, and along w/it, hopefully some creativity into the program.

thanks, and i apologize for my poor typing.

BaggyPantsDevil said...

You are correct! The strong desire to go with "Michigan men" hurts the team by unnecessarily limiting the talent pool and undoubtedly encourages groupthink among the coaching staff. It’s strange considering Michigan’s past coaching successes weren’t because of getting “Michigan men.” Hell, Bo Schembechler came from Ohio State! Maybe Michigan should look into hiring Luke Fickell?

Yost said...

For another excellent post on the things we're talking about here (repeating the same mistakes all year long), check out MGoBlog which we have a link to on our home page.

Paul E. Brown said...

IC said...

I agree with the consensus on the need to find a new D coordinator and with the disdain for our tendency to place too much stock in hiring "Michigan Men."

That noted, I disagree with the notion that we lost the game because of the decision to pooch punt. We didn't lose because we forced a team to drive 50+ yards to have a chance to win a game. We lost because, when we should have known better, we helped them do it by playing the same soft, scared defense that had already burned us several times in 2005.

Remember, they only needed a field goal to win. Giving them the ball on or around their 35 (which is very likely what would have happened had we gone for it) would have put them in fg range with 2-3 first downs. Putting them back on the 12 required them to likely need 4-5 first downs to have a chance at a game winning kick (tOSU eventually tallied five first downs to get to our 31 yd. line., which if we could have held them there would have required their kicker to connect on a career long.)

Their final two scores were not inevitable. The Buckeye offense that only faced one third down in gaining over 150 yards and two touchdowns in the final two drives had the following statistics in the four drives leading up to these scores: 21 plays, 38 yards, 0 points.

So what happened? (Again) we didn't force incompletions, interceptions, sacks, and holding calls by being aggressive. (Again) we responded to our opponent's approach to win the game with a strategy of hope that they would lose it. This was the same hope that had been a proven failure in each of the games mentioned by Yost and Benny.

That doesn't mean that the deicison to punt was wrong. It means that (again) the decisions we made after that punt were wrong.

Yost said...

First, speaking of inbred, I feel your pain down there in Columbus. My condolences.

However, I respectfully disagree about our coaches coming from within the program being a bad thing.

Some of the most successful programs in the country, ours included, stay stable and near the top by promoting from within instead of grasping for straws by trying to get the "hot coach du jour."

For a prime example of what I'm talking about, look no further than Nebraska. They fired their coach after a "disastrous" 10-3 season and got the "pro genius," Bill Callahan. In his two years, they had their first losing season since the 60s last year and another horrible season this year (much worse than ours). Even the "hottest coach in America," Urban Meyer, has 3 losses and another tough game to go which means he just might end up with the same record as us this year.

I could go on but my point is, let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. Yes, changes need to be made, but we didn't become the winningest program by panicking during a tough time. I mean, before this season, we had gone to back-to-back Rose Bowls.

Having said that, it also requires Lloyd to be very critical of what the consistant problems are (those defensive lapses) and make the TOUGH moves to correct them.

The King said...

I'm not sure anyone was calling Bill Callahan a "pro genius" after he took a Super Bowl team into the cellar in what, one year? Two years?

Katie said...

I don't compare to all of you and the incredible opinions you have. Although I totally enjoy reading every word you all write. I just wanted to say from a girl who always looks at the glass as half full....I loved Watson's forced fumble and recovery, but the best moment of the day was Henne's impassioned plea to go on forth. I know that here at my house, my son's and I were yelling at Carr just as compassionalty to GO FOR IT! I loved the smile Carr gave and the fact that he let Henne go for it. Yes there were many disasppointing moments particularly at the end, and I will leave all of those things up to you gentleman to debate and discuss, however this is the greatest team to be a fan of and I am fortunate enough to have found a group of passionate "fans" that allow me the greatest "reads". Thanks guys! (and thanks for letting me post with my meager comments!)

Yost said...

Good point, Loef, lol!

And Katie, thanks for your comments. We love the female "diversity" on our male-dominated rant-fest.

BaggyPantsDevil said...

Since I’m new to posting here I want to clarify one thing, I am by no means in favor of firing Lloyd Carr. Overall, the man is an excellent coach by any standard: his winning percentage is excellent, he has an undefeated season and a National Championship—albeit a shared one—under his belt, he recruits good talent from around the country, and he runs a program with integrity, honor and class.

Additionally, whatever the play-calling may have lacked at certain points in the season, there were other aspects of coaching that were absolutely fantastic.

Going into the Penn State game, Michigan was a team that was reeling. It was three and three, riddled with injuries, and out of the Top 25. It would have been very easy for the team, with all that youth and inexperience, to completely fall apart a la Michigan State.

Somehow they didn’t. In fact they beat what is now the #3 team in the country, giving Penn State it’s only loss this year. I don’t know what Lloyd Carr and the coaching staff did the week between the Minnesota game and the Penn State game, but they did an amazing job. And, let’s face it, Lloyd Carr owns Joe Paterno and he’s one of the all time greatest coaches ever.

I think that’s what’s so frustrating about the way things have been for they last couple of years. Carr does so many things so admirably that I have a hard time understanding why he call plays in close situations with the same acumen.

As Yost points out, replacing Carr is probably fraught with more peril and would also be just plain wrong considering all he’s given Michigan and its fans. In addition to getting a coach who needs several years to get some sort of lame West Coast Offense in place, Michigan may get a coach who can’t recruit, makes worse game day decisions, says really stupid things to the media, and generally embarrasses the entire university.

I stumbled across this recap of a classic Michigan/Ohio State game:

Ohio State 10 ... Michigan 10, November 24, 1973

At the time: 10-0, No. 4 Michigan hosted 9-0, No. 1 Ohio State for the Big Ten title, the Rose Bowl berth, and national title consideration. The Buckeyes had allowed 33 points (an average of 3.67 points per game) and a mere three touchdowns while the Wolverines had given up a total of 49 points.

The setup: In a hard-hitting, intense battle, Ohio State took a 10-0 halftime lead on a 31-yard field goal and a five-yard Pete Johnson touchdown. Michigan battled back in the second half with a 30-yard field goal and a Dennis Franklin ten-yard touchdown run.

The ending: Unfortunately for the Wolverines, Franklin was knocked out for the game on what could've been the game-winning drive with a broken collarbone with 2:25 to play. This would have repercussions on more than just this game (more on that in a moment). Fearing an interception, Michigan head coach Bo Schembechler ordered three straight running plays to give Mike Lantry a long field goal try. Even though it was from 58 yards out, Lantry just missed. Ohio State tried to pull off the win by throwing the ball, but this was a pure running team. Michigan's Jon Drake picked off a Greg Hare pass and got it to the Ohio State 33 with :52 left. After two conservative plays, Schembechler went for the field goal on third down. Lantry missed from 44 yards out for a 10-10 finish.

Reading that, I can’t help but notice the same sort of mindset still existing at Michigan. And that game was played in 1973. I think that’s why there’s a problem with having so many “Michigan men” on the coaching staff. They’re thinking back to the glory days of Bo and Woody and remembering how Bo would’ve handled things. The thing is, it really didn’t work so great back then, either.

The truth is, there’s really only a few minor adjustments that need to be made: don’t be so conservative on both sides of the ball; play to win, don’t play to not lose; and get some ass-kicking graduate assistant to smoke the hell out of the defense and teach them how to pursue and tackle.

Will that mean we go undefeated every year? Nope. Will it mean we beat Ohio State every year? Nope. I’m not asking for either. In fact, I’d be pretty happy with splitting with Ohio State 50-50, that’s kind of what rivalries are about. I just want to at least have a shot at the National Championship towards the end of the season and win a few of these ESPN “Instant Classic” games.

Yost said...

Your point about "just wanting to be in the National Title hunt at the end of the season" is something Wangs laments all the time. Hopefully he'll stop working on the job that pays his bills so he can add his comment.

Your point is well taken.

BaggyPantsDevil said...

The thing about being out of the hunt for the National Championship game is that it kind of ruins the rest of college football for me. There's always upsets during the season. If Michigan had a better record, LSU's upset of Alabama, Arizona's upset of UCLA, Miami's upset of Virginia tech, and Georgia Tech's upset of Miami would have had meaning to me. I checked in on the USC/Fresno State game and was hoping Fresno State would upset USC, but just wasn't that interested because it really wasn't going to have any impact on Michigan.

At least when Michigan's still in the hunt, I get to enjoy a lot more college football by rooting for Michigan and rooting against anyone ranked higher than Michigan.

Anonymous said...

If Lloyd Carr can get rid of his HemLloyds, perhaps they'll have a chance next year. Otherwise, he'll be LLLLLoyd, an extra L added every year with each loss to the Buckeyes.

Brent said...

Thanks for your insight, anonymous. Even more thanks for illustrating once more the traditional Ohio State level of class and fixation on Michigan instead of your own team's tradition and achievements. And to top it off, you had the moxie and "heart" to post anonymously! Kudos!

Anonymous said...

I'm sending this message days late and way down at the bottom after many messages, so I hope someone reads it.

Anyway, it's just a general complaint I've had for years. I still remember 1980. When that team finally got it together, it was an EVENT to score a touchdown against Michigan. We would face Heisman candidates and make them look like patsies.

Obviously Michigan strives to be a great all around team, but I wouldn't mind if, recruiting and coaching wise, they started concentrating on defense first and foremost for the next few years.

Twin Cities Homes For Sale = Lowest In 10 Years

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — After the rollercoaster real estate market of the past few years, Twin Cities realtors are finding lots of folks still waiting on the sidelines. Inventory levels in Twin Cities is the lowest they’ve been in 10 years.

The Bradleys thought long and hard about selling their St. Paul home. The interest rates are good and their family of four needs more space, but they were concerned about where they might move.

“When you go on the Internet and look at other houses, there’s not much out there, so the fear is you’re going to sell your home and not end up with anything,” said Denise Bradley.

She and her husband decided that if they can’t find a place to move to, they’ll rent until they do. The Bradleys are not alone. Many realtors will tell you there are plenty of people holding off going on the market.

“I think so many sellers have been waiting for the market to stabilize and waiting for prices to increase,” said Coldwell Banker Burnet realtor Krista Wolter.

At the end of 2012, less than 13,000 homes were for sale in the Twin Cities compared to about 17,000 from the same time the year before. Generally, that makes for a sellers’ market, but experts say people have learned their lessons.

“The buyers are more cautious, much more careful, financing is a longer process,” said St. Paul Area Association of Realtors President Kate Beckman. “The last few years have taught them something and they’re willing to wait until they find what’s right for them.”

Beckman says there are plenty of buyers are out there, but don’t have much to check out. In fact, she was surprised last weekend — Super Bowl Sunday — of the popularity of open houses.

“We’ve never seen buyer traffic like we did this Sunday — 14, 20 groups,” she said.

Beckman believes the Twin Cities real estate market is on the road to recover, but the lack of inventory is standing in its way.

“For sellers, if they’re thinking of putting their home on the market, this is a great time,” she said. “What is means for buyers is that they don’t have a lot of choices, so they need to get out and look at things quickly.”

Wreck totals two vehicles

A Thomson man escaped serious injury in a Saturday morning crash on East Hill Street.

Jeremy Willingham (center) looks at his demolished car.

Jeremy Willingham said he lost control of his Pontiac Firebird while driving east in front of Kent's Restaurant around 8:40 a.m. The vehicle entered the lot of Reece's Exxon.

Mr. Willingham's car missed the gas pumps by less than three yards. His luck ended when he traveled some 20 yards further and slammed into the front of parked Buick Regal, which belonged to James Few. The impact flipped the Regal front over back and it ended up in tall grass next to the station.

"I don't remember a lot," he said, pointing to his totaled vehicle. "I left the roadway and went between the gas pumps and when I woke up, my car is like it is now. I think I had a blowout."

Marco Few, a serviceman at Reece's, said he had been at work barely 10 minutes.

"I had just gotten here and was inside when I saw the car come flying through the lot and before I could look, I heard a bam and the car I had been in was flipped over. It's totaled," said Few.

Fire, rescue units and an ambulance responded to the scene. Willingham's injuries amounted to a bumped knee and head. He later went to the hospital to be checked, according to Thomson Police Officer Richard Redd, who charged Willingham with failure to maintain lane.

The Reckoning

David DelSignore wouldn't hurt a soul. And then he did.

The day after Christmas 2009, David James DelSignore woke up as he had every morning for 15 years, thinking about rabbits. There were 75 in his backyard, mostly Netherland Dwarfs born under his care, mostly the offspring of offspring of rabbits that he'd acquired over his life of breeding and showing.

DelSignore, who will turn 31 this year, adopted his first rabbit, Oreo, from Prince William Animal Shelter in Manassas, Va., when he was 15. Within a year, he had more than 300 rabbits. He built their cages and kept them in an old barn on his family's small farm. He named every one—300 rabbit names, 300 rabbit name plates. Daisy, a Himalayan, was the first of his rabbits to win Best of Breed, then Best in Show, at a Virginia rabbit competition. DelSignore was 16.

In 2002, he transferred from Northern Virginia Community College to Montana State University in Bozeman to pursue a degree in animal husbandry. He drove to Montana with three Netherland Dwarfs in the back seat of his car. In 2005, degree in hand, DelSignore moved to Missoula and soon became involved in a 4-H chapter, mentoring kids in rabbit showmanship. He became the president of the Missoula chapter of the American Rabbit Breeders' Association and the supervisor of its youth chapter. He also founded the Treasure State Youth Rabbit and Cavy Club, which today has about 25 members.

That December dawn foretold nothing unusual; just another morning spent tending to Beyonce, Payce, and Picante; Madeline, Mad Mike, and Matilda; and Aires, DelSignore's senior buck, who at the ripe age of 12 still ate and mated, and had lost little of his body condition. The animals were fed, sheltered, warm. For DelSignore there had been many mornings exactly like that morning: rabbits and coffee and some time with his labradoodle, Oliver, all leading to a 15-minute commute from Turah to work at Costco in Missoula. Until December 26, 2009, his life was measured in degrees of normalcy, gauging rabbits.

At 11:30 p.m., the frontage road east of Missoula between the railroad tracks and the Clark Fork River is rurally dark. The area is boxed in to the north and south by Mounts Jumbo and Sentinel, creating Hellgate Canyon. (In the 19th century, French trappers called it Porte de l'Enfer, because Blackfeet nation warriors used it as an ambush point.) Hellgate Canyon's east entrance begins just after the Thunderbird Motel. The streetlights stop not far beyond there.

About 12 hours earlier that day, DelSignore took a break from the checkout lines at Costco and called Brandon Sorensen, a close friend who had been visiting family in Three Forks for the holidays. Sorenson was due back in Missoula that evening. They made plans to get a drink and exchange gifts.

DelSignore punched out at 6 p.m. He stopped by Quality Supply for some animal feed and headed home, to Turah. He checked on the rabbits, reheated some lobster bisque, turned on Jurassic Park 3, and poured himself a glass of wine. Sorensen was due back in town around 9.

DelSignore arrived at the DoubleTree Hotel 20 minutes before Sorensen. In the bar of the hotel's restaurant, Finn & Porter, the bartender recommended a new merlot from Argentina and they each ordered a glass. They shared a bowl of chowder and a crab cake, and talked about the holidays and their families and when they would open gifts.

Sorensen and DelSignore each drank two glasses of wine before Brad Fredericks, whom Sorensen had invited, arrived. It was Fredericks's 27th birthday, and he wanted to celebrate. They all ordered another glass of wine.

By the time they left Finn & Porter, DelSignore had drunk four glasses of Argentine merlot. "It was the holidays," he says. "We were celebrating Brad's birthday—I didn't really think about it."

Sorensen and Fredericks headed to Al & Vic's, a bar on the north end of downtown with pool tables that ate quarters and a jukebox with Robert Earle Keene and Van Halen.

DelSignore followed in his truck, a 1999, champagne-colored Chevy Silverado. He remembers arriving at Al & Vic's needing a glass of water, but found his friends had ordered him a Long Island iced tea, the sweating glass already on the table. DelSignore says he didn't want to drink it but his friends chided him; they called him a pussy. He drank it all, and told them he needed to go home. It was cold outside. He wanted to check on his rabbits. He left just after 11:30 p.m.

As he drove down East Broadway, the gape of Hellgate Canyon looming, he called a friend whose family he'd spent Christmas Day with. Though it would later be a matter of dispute, he remembers hanging up before his truck passed the Thunderbird Motel.

Soon after, DelSignore says, he felt his truck roll over a rumble strip, though there is no rumble strip on that section of road. What he may have felt was the graveled shoulder, which separated the asphalt from a patch of frozen grass and a steep bank that drops toward the river. He doesn't recall an impact. What made him stop was the screaming.

More gratitude, less whining

I haven’t done one of these posts in a while and I think it’s time. As we approach Thanksgiving, it never hurts to contemplate your blessings.

Tonight my son and I walked to the store. He helped get himself dressed, even halfway putting on one shoe. As we walked, he pointed to the stars and babbled. I’m pretty sure he was pointing out the various constellations to me. Or maybe just thinking “Ooooh, pretty!”

He helped me push the cart around the store. And even picked out the kind of string cheese and graham crackers he wanted. My favorite part? While we were in line at the cashier, he was dancing to INXS. And doing a darn fine job according to the guy in front of me, the bagger and the checker. I’m smiling just thinking about it.

We crunched leaves on our way back. Every time he stepped on a downed, dried leaf I said “CRUNCH!” and he giggled. Then we passed through the gate and the star-gazing began again.

I am amazed at how big he is. How quickly (almost) three years have gone. How independent he is. How much of a little personality he has.

And I fall more in love each time. And I am so very grateful.

Monday Poetry Stretch - Poems of Peace

In thinking about Veterans Day I read over some of the pieces linked at the Poetry Foundation's page on Veterans Day Poems, as well as some of the entries at The Sandbox. I have a great deal of respect for soldiers, the sacrifices they make, and the work they do. We wouldn't be who we are without them. That's why this week, I want to write about peace, something we should all be working towards.

I hope you'll join me this week in writing a poem for peace, or perhaps one for soldier. Please share a link to your poem or the poem itself in the comments.

  1. Great subject for today, Tricia. Here's a sonnet I've been steadily revising that touches on what is needed to achieve peace.

    First Saddle

    This tall man, hard from handling heavy tack,
    Hitches his skittish filly to a post,
    Lifts curry comb to groom her bristled back
    In gentle circle gestures, like a ghost
    Easing an armored steed before a battle.
    Once he has her breathing more at peace,
    He places on a weathered western saddle
    Then tugs a rough cinch tight within the crease
    Between her shoulders and her ribs. He taps
    Her neck and smooths out tangles in her mane,
    Guiding bridle, bit, and leather straps
    Over her face. She snaps. He grips a rein,
    But slackly, and she softens. Slow to force,
    He knows what harm’s in harnessing a horse.

  2. When the Sun

    When the sun lights the leaves sideways
    with gold and it’s summer, with cool evening
    coming on, and the cut grass smells green,
    when the taste of grape popsicle
    is still on your tongue and the feel of fast
    on your bike is still in your legs, when school
    is forgotten, like a scrap of notebook paper
    that fell from your pocket, when you are laughing
    with your sister on the front steps, that is peace.
    You will keep it with you forever.

    —Kate Coombs, 2013

    Momma and Dada are piercing each other’s hearts with
    Words being fired like arrows hitting their intended mark.
    This cacophony of madness has been going on since supper.
    I hunker down in my room as the parental circus travels to
    Their bedroom. I hold Dolly, my French poodle who’s shaking
    Like a tree caught in the grips of a hurricane. She’s usually a
    Chatterbox though now she’s remains silent as her eyes dart
    Back and forth. This argument has now quieted down to crying
    Jags with an occasional catching of breath. I feel as if my brains
    Being pecked by crows having their last supper. I hear their door
    Open as mine follows suit. Momma and Dada sit on either side of me,
    Rubbing Dolly’s back then mine. Their eyes are red, noses raw.
    Their voices crack as they say to me (and to each other I think)
    One word that will start as a healing balm to our sores … Sorry.

Boston Red Sox v Seattle Mariners

Rangers “still talking” to free agent Adrian Beltre

A report on a Dominican Republic-based website this morning had the Rangers and Adrian Beltre agreeing to a six-year, $96 million contract.  That was later found to be incorrect by Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News, but the Rangers are indeed talking to the free agent third baseman, according to’s Jon Paul Morosi, and seem to be one of the few teams with legitimate interest in meeting his lofty price tag.

It’s a decent fit if the Rangers can find a taker for 34-year-old third baseman Michael Young.  Beltre proved last year in Boston that he has the ability produce gaudy power numbers when hitting in a small park and he would provide a major defensive upgrade at third base.

The Rangers’ Ballpark in Arlington saw the seventh-most homers in baseball last season and the sixth-most total runs.  Fenway Park, for reference, hosted the seventh-most total runs.

Texas should have some expendable cash remaining from their failed pursuit of left-hander Cliff Lee and it appears that their only competition to land Beltre comes from the Angels.

Beltre, 31, is thought to be seeking a five-year contract worth about $85 million.

It’s tied 2-2, but if you’re like most people you have feelings about who has an edge.

Maybe you’re a “momentum” person and you like the Cubs’ current vibe because they scored a bunch last night. Maybe you’re a “momentum is your next day’s starting pitcher” guy, and you prefer either Jon Lester or Kenta Maeda. Or maybe you’re playing chess with all of this and thinking a couple of moves ahead. As in “yes, the Cubs have an advantage tonight because Lester is better than Maeda, but if they DON’T win tonight they’re screwed because then they have to face Kershaw and Hill in Games 6 and 7.”

I dunno. I find all of that rather exhausting. Let’s just watch and see what happens. Here’s who will be doing the happening:

1. Dexter Fowler (S) CF
2. Kris Bryant (R) 3B

Trevor Bauer says his finger will be OK for the World Series

TORONTO, ON - OCTOBER 17:  Trevor Bauer #47 of the Cleveland Indians walks back to the dugout after being relieved due to his cut pinky finger in the first inning against the Toronto Blue Jays during game three of the American League Championship Series at Rogers Centre on October 17, 2016 in Toronto, Canada.

Indians starter Trevor Bauer said he expects his sliced right pinkie to heal in time for the World Series.

Bauer, of course, is a drone hobbyist and hurt his finger while fixing a drone. By the time he’ll have to pitch again he will have had nine days since his last, bloody start in ALCS Game 3. Yesterday he said “I’ll be ready to pitch in the World Series whenever they need me. I’m doing everything I can and I’ll be back out there for sure.”

Bauer reportedly suggested that Indians trainers cauterize his finger on Monday. They declined. Which is something Bauer should probably thank them for.

Clay Buchholz felt soreness during bullpen session Sunday

The Red Sox had Clay Buchholz throw a bullpen session yesterday as opposed to a rehab start as originally planned. While the change was designed to help his arm strength following shoulder bursitis, the timeline for his return remains a mystery.

According to Rob Bradford of, Buchholz said today that he still felt some soreness during his bullpen session yesterday. There’s no plan for a rehab start at this time and he’s expected to be reevaluated after the All-Star break. Buchholz told Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe that he’s aiming to throw a bullpen session Thursday, so the Red Sox could map things out from there if there’s no discomfort. He’ll need to make it through a simulated game before being cleared for a rehab start.

Buchholz has been out of action since June 8. The 28-year-old right-hander was off to a fantastic start prior to hitting the disabled list, posting a 1.71 ERA and 81/29 K/BB ratio over 84 1/3 innings. His absence appears likely to stretch into August at this point.

Trevor Bauer says his finger will be OK for the World Series

TORONTO, ON - OCTOBER 17:  Trevor Bauer #47 of the Cleveland Indians walks back to the dugout after being relieved due to his cut pinky finger in the first inning against the Toronto Blue Jays during game three of the American League Championship Series at Rogers Centre on October 17, 2016 in Toronto, Canada.

Indians starter Trevor Bauer said he expects his sliced right pinkie to heal in time for the World Series.

Bauer, of course, is a drone hobbyist and hurt his finger while fixing a drone. By the time he’ll have to pitch again he will have had nine days since his last, bloody start in ALCS Game 3. Yesterday he said “I’ll be ready to pitch in the World Series whenever they need me. I’m doing everything I can and I’ll be back out there for sure.”

Bauer reportedly suggested that Indians trainers cauterize his finger on Monday. They declined. Which is something Bauer should probably thank them for.

Ghanaians and the media love to talk too much

Celebrated gospel artiste, Obaapa Christy, formally called Christiana Love is not enthused about the talkative attitude of Ghanaians and has criticized her country men for dabbling in matters that do not concern them.
The songsters, who is in town from her foreign base to promote her VCD, a compilation of music videos, was speaking her mind when she was asked about the issue with regards to her giving birth out of wedlock – an issue that made headlines a few years ago during her tumultuous breakup with her estranged husband, Pastor Love.
“People are saying I gave birth, so what? Ghanaians talk too much, especially on matters that have no bearing on their lives. I am not concerned about what they say about me as I am focused on stuff that will uplift my music,” she muttered.
Obaapa also asserted that, Ghanaians and the media love to dwell much on negativity and she is all about positivity and is concerned with the progress of her career and work. “One should not pay attention to what people say about him/her. What is said about you will not make you,” she admonished.
On her marriage with Pastor Love, Christy was assertive in saying that they are no more together and she has moved on to new chapters in her life. “We are not together,” she said plainly.
On speculations that she has remarried, the “No Fears” singer shot such conjecture down by claiming that she is single. In a not-too-convincing mode, Christy claimed that she has remained single since her separation from her former husband.
The artiste, who has remained inactive in the music business for a while, is promoting the compilation of her music videos that is up for sale. She also assured Ghanaians and her loyal fans that she’s working in the studio and her next album will be ready soon.
In 2011, the then Christiana Love and her manager-husband, Pastor Love made headlines when they accused each other of infidelity, adultery and deceit during the many years of their marriage.
According to Christy, her decision to divorce her pastor husband stemmed from the unceasing abuses he subjected her to – sometimes beating her up in the presence of his girlfriend.
Christiana said her husband impregnated another woman – a woman she accuses of being at the center of all her marital problems – in his church at the same time she was also expecting his child.

Your Last Minute Halloween Survival Guide

This year, embrace the "damned if you do, damned if you don't" approach to Halloween and escape the medley of human suffering that comes with spending any drinking holiday in a metropolitan city—specifically one simultaneously hosting the World Series.

Everything you need to know to survive the hype.

What not to wear

If you're pulling your hair trying to drum up "the best" and "most original" costume, stop now. There's a drag queen at Marlena's who has already claimed that victory.

Don't be a zombie.

Touching on The Walking Dead passé, zombies were a new wave in horror genre two years ago when the successful AMC show debuted. It's over—unless you hang in the Tenderloin.

Don't be Richie and Margot Tenenbaum.

So you're a  couple? Living in the Mission? You probably look like these two on a regular basis. Try harder.

Don't be a Giants player.

Any Giants player. There will be many of you, everywhere. All week.

For last minute finds, steer clear of the overwhelmingly packed Halloween warehouses, where costumes come wrapped like sandwiches, and stroll Gypsy Rosalie's (1215 Polk St., near Bush St.), a hole-in-the-wall wig and vintage store that features the whole shebang at accommodating prices. Polk Street in general is a good resource.

Where to go

If you want to dance.

— This Friday, DJs Calvin Harris and Benny Benassi throw a next-level dance party at the Oracle Arena (7000 Coliseum Way, near San Leandro St.) in the East Bay. Tickets are $45, and be forewarned, it's 18 and over.

 Public Works (161 Eerie St., near Mission St.) hosts Freaker's Ball on Saturday and Sunday, $45 for two-day passes, citing a long list of DJs playing in three different rooms, and out on the street. There are also art installations and what are described on Works' website as "cozy chill areas". This one's for the night owls—it ends at 6am.

— If glow sticks and furry boots aren't your thing, check out El Rio (3158 Mission St., at Cesar Chavez) on the 31st, with a weird art band playing in the back and plenty of room to move, it's a stray from your average dive.

If you want to drink and mingle.

—Hang out at the historic and ultra-swank Payne Mansion (1409 Sutter St., near Franklin St.), there's a costume contest and "more to be revealed" (?) We hope so for the $55 entry.

—It's baaa-aaack. Pub Crawl, Halloween Edition. This crawl (appropriately named) takes you all over the city, through 10 bars including Hemlock Tavern, The Cellar, and The Independent.

If you want to take it easy.

—90's fans unite: the no frills, no fuss Roxie Theater hosts a Lynchian-themed Saturday night, screening Laura (1944) the film that first inspired Director David Lynch and and Mark Frost to create the genre-bending TV series Twin Peaks. The show's Pilot plays after the film, and screening in finale is the film Fire Walk With Me (1992) written as a prequel to Twin Peaks.

How to get where you're going

—Public transportation will be a beast. For anyone who doesn't already curse the 38, 22, 49, 14, and 71 bus lines, they're going to be worse. The 47, 30, and 45 are all routes to AT&T Ball Park, and will undoubtedly be filled to the brim with baseball fans heading to or away from the game. (The 31st marks the tentative 6th game in the Series.)

—Avoid 16th and Mission's BART stop. In fact, avoid 16th and Mission all together.

—There's a free cab service that will take you to one destination during the evening. The only requirements are that the ride cannot cost more than $35 and that either your arrival or departing location, must be your house.

—Consider walking. It's really what Halloween was made for and remember how long three blocks felt like when you were a kid? It puts things into perspective.

Liv Envie Advanced Pro 0

A proven winner with big-time race victories, Liv's Envie Advanced Pro 0 is the reigning queen of aero road. Attack, sprint, get that podium. It’s no surprise that the first women’s-specific aero road bike would be eye-catchingly sleek with elegant finishing, but this speedy weapon can also dish it out in all aspects of speed and handling. With an ultra-lightweight build, this bike gets downright punchy on the climbs and greater stiffness means precise handling. It all adds up to the ultimate aero race machine for sprints, short-distance triathlons and everyday training on the road.
