6B Daily News– Wednesday, September 12, 2012 CHICAGO (AP) — As Chicago teachers walked the picket lines for a second day, they were joined by many of the very people who are most incon- venienced by their strike: the parents who must now scramble to find a place for children to pass the time or for babysitters. Mothers and fathers — some with their kids in tow — are marching with the teach- ers. Other parents are honking their encouragement from cars or planting yard signs that announce their support in Eng- lish and Spanish. organizations in much of Chicago, and the teachers union holds a special place of honor in many households where children often grow up to join the same police, fire- fighter or trade unions as their parents and grandparents. ''I'm going to stay strong, behind the teachers,'' said the Rev. Michael Grant, who joined teachers on the picket line Tuesday. ''My son says he's proud, 'You are support- ing my teacher.''' Unions are still hallowed over the contract talks is whether parents will continue to stand behind teachers if stu- dents are left idle for days or weeks. That ticking clock could instill a sense of urgency in the ongoing negotiations. Mary Bryan, the grand- mother of two students at Shoop Academy on the city's far South Side, supports the teachers because she see ''the frustration, the overwork they have.'' A protracted labor bat- tle, she acknowledged, would But one question looming ''test the support'' of many families. Parents ''should stick with Striking Chicago teachers get support from parents them, but they might demand teachers go back to work,'' Bryan added. To win friends, the union has engaged in something of a publicity campaign, telling parents repeatedly about prob- lems with schools and the bar- riers that have made it more difficult to serve their kids. They cite classrooms that are stifling hot without air condi- tioning, important books that are unavailable and supplies as basic as toilet paper that are sometimes in short supply. ''They've been keeping me informed about that for months and months,'' Grant said. It was a shrewd tactic, said Robert Bruno, professor of labor and employment rela- tions at the University of Illi- nois at Chicago. ''This union figured out they couldn't assume the pub- lic would be on their side so they went out and actively engaged in getting parent sup- port,'' Bruno said. ''They worked like the devil to get it.'' advocates, public opinion could swing against the union relatively soon if the dispute seems to carry on with no res- olution in sight. But, said some reform He says parents ''are all over the map'' in terms of their sup- port for teachers or the school district. ''Within a day or two, all parents are going to turn their ire toward the strike,'' Gonza- lez said. ''As parents see what the district offers and see the teachers not counter-propose, they will become increasingly frustrated with the grandstand- ing.'' During the last Chicago teachers strike in 1987, Bill Werme and his wife got so angry they pulled their daugh- ter out of public school and enrolled her in private school for second grade. Parents could face the same choice now. ''If it was me, my support a massive show of solidarity that is as widespread as any- thing we've seen in decades,'' said Jorge Ramirez, president of the Chicago Federation of Labor. In a telephone poll conduct- ed Monday by the Chicago Sun-Times, nearly half of peo- ple surveyed said they sup- ported the teachers union, compared with 39 percent who oppose the strike. Almost three-quarters of those polled regarded Emanuel's efforts to resolve the dispute as average, below average or poor. The poll of 500 registered voters had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points. would whittle away,'' Werme said. Already, there are some parents who don't understand why teachers would not readi- ly accept a contract offering a 16 percent raise over four years — far more than most American employers are giv- ing in the aftermath of the Great Recession. Rodney Espiritu, a stay-at- home dad whose 4-year-old son just started preschool, said the low test scores he's read about suggest teachers don't have ''much of a foot to stand on.'' Juan Jose Gonzalez is the Chicago director for the edu- cation advocacy group Stand for Children, which has hun- dreds of parent volunteers and was instrumental in pushing legislative reforms in Illinois. Chicago's history of labor strength is one reason why this dispute is seen as a test of organized labor at a time when unions' political influence is being threatened across the country. ''What you're seeing here is lion workers in the metropoli- tan area belonging to a union and a full quarter of the work- force unionized — a percent- age rivaled only by New York and a handful of other big cities, Bruno said teachers have the most sympathetic public they could hope for. ''I do think if you were going to craft or design a strat- egy and determine the geo- graphical space with the right politics, the right values, you couldn't do better than Chica- go,'' he said. On Tuesday, union Presi- dent Karen Lewis said negoti- ations were still far apart, with the two sides having agreed to just six of 48 articles in the contract. She said it would be ''lunacy'' to expect an agree- ment before Wednesday. In many ways, Chicago is the perfect place for teachers to wage this battle, Bruno said.

Skillman JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT Publish: Sept. 12, 19, 26 & Oct. 3, 2012 LEGAL NOTICE Officials: Mich. man who killed cop had arsenal WEST BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — A businessman who gunned down a police officer at his suburban Detroit home held authorities at bay for hours with an arsenal of high-powered rifles and other weapons before finally killing himself, officials said Tuesday. Officers were responding to a report of a possible suicide attempt Sunday night at the home in West Bloomfield Township when Ricky Coley shot Officer Pat O'Rourke, authorities said. About 15 fam- ilies were evacuated from nearby homes during the subsequent 20-hour standoff that ended when Coley was found dead in his bed Monday evening. Sheriff Michael Bouchard told reporters day by Dr. Cheryl Loewe of the Oakland County medical examiner's office. Coley owned CNC Holdings, a private Tuesday that the standoff lasted so long because relatives had warned investigators about his weapons, and because of a bar- rage of gunfire from Coley. ''It appeared to be just a battle mind- set,'' Bouchard said. ''He had the firepow- er. He had barricaded windows and cov- ered doors. And the way he was firing - probably because part of his military back- ground - he knew the best way to fire and not be spotted by a sniper.'' Coley, a military veteran, had ''a fully automatic Uzi'' in addition to high-pow- ered rifles, handguns, knives, a bullet- resistant vest and protective goggles, Bouchard said. Coley, 50, was recently divorced and had been ordered to leave the home by Monday. He also faced financial and legal turmoil, including a lawsuit from federal authorities accusing him of mishandling employee's insurance funds. West Bloom- field Township police said they had also been called to Coley's home about a month ago because he was reportedly suicidal. He killed himself with a gunshot to the mouth, according to a report released Tues- equity firm that bought 51 percent interest in Translogic Auto Carriers in 2008. Trans- logic, an 8-year-old company based in the Michigan Thumb area town of Bad Axe, hauled new vehicles from automakers to dealerships. It had more than 200 drivers and employed dozens of others in the com- munity. Coley, who had worked for Ford Motor Co. and General Motors, believed he knew what automakers needed, said business partner Lyn Tetreau, who owned the other 49 percent of Translogic. ''Coley wanted to be involved in every- thing,'' Tetreau, 45, told The Associated Press on Tuesday. ''I was the minority owner. He was the majority. He demanded more so than suggested what we do. Coley and I had a totally different direction. We did a lot of bumping heads.'' Tetreau said Coley fired him twice as company president, leading Tetreau to go to court so he could stay in charge of oper- ations. The U.S. auto industry was collapsing and the nation was in the Great Recession. By 2010, Translogic had filed for bank- ruptcy, despite Tetreau's putting about a $1 million of his own money into the compa- ny. money off Translogic even when bills weren't being paid, Tetreau said. ''He put himself on a huge salary, work- ing a couple of days each week while bark- ing out orders,'' Tetreau said. ''Coley was trying to leverage as much capital as he could for himself. Myself and the staff became puppets and he was pulling the strings.'' But Coley appeared to be making Coley's troubles. ''I don't believe what has taken place with Coley was based on his life at Trans- logic,'' Tetreau said. ''I think he had finan- cial troubles and couldn't get his hands on much cash and was not being able to con- trol his personal life.'' Coley had lost his home as part of a divorce judgment. His ex-wife, Deniece Coley, also was to receive $190 each week in child support for their 7-year-old son. They were married in 1998 and separated June 12, when Deniece Coley moved out. In filing for divorce, she claimed Ricky filed a lawsuit accusing Coley of mishan- dling money meant to cover employee insurance. The lawsuit says Coley also transferred $342,000 from Translogic to himself or his affiliates. Tetreau said that was just one factor in Coley was ''at fault for the breakdown of the marriage due to his infidelity, physical, mental, emotional and psychological abuse.'' She said he had attacked her on two occasions. Deniece Coley could not be reached for comment Tuesday. A man who answered the phone at a number listed for her in the divorce filing declined comment before hanging up. Residents who live in the upscale neigh- borhood where the standoff happened were back home Tuesday. The U.S. Labor Department recently U.S. government's debt rating could be heading for the ''fis- cal cliff'' along with the feder- al budget. Moody's Investors Service on Tuesday said it would like- ly cut its ''Aaa'' rating on U.S. government debt, probably by one notch, if budget negotia- tions fail. ''AAA'' rating on its bonds on Aug. 5, 2011. Fitch Ratings issued a warning of a potential downgrade. Jeannie Zimbalatti pointed to a bullet hole in one of her bedrooms. She said her family was ''trying to reconcile how we knew Rick to what we were seeing on TV.'' ''We were unaware of what was tran- spiring in his personal life,'' she said. ''I'd had conversations with him about his business and we knew things were tough. But there were no signs of any of this coming. He was an incredibly nice person to us.'' Moody's set to downgrade US without budget deal NEW YORK (AP) — The If Congress and the White House don't reach a budget deal, about $1.2 trillion in spending cuts and tax increas- es will automatically kick in starting Jan. 2, a scenario that's been dubbed the ''fiscal cliff,'' because it is likely to send the economy back into recession and drive up unem- ployment. Moody's said it is difficult to predict when Congress will reach a deal on the budget, and it will likely keep its current rating and ''negative'' outlook until the outcome of the talks is clear. In Washington, Moody's action didn't spur the politi- cians responsible for making a deal to sit down at the table. House Speaker John In its report Tuesday, A year ago, Moody's cut its outlook on U.S. debt to ''neg- ative,'' which acts as a warn- ing that it might downgrade the rating, after partisan wran- gling over raising the U.S. debt limit led the nation to the brink of default. Rival agency Standard & Poor's took the drastic step of stripping the government of its Boehner, an Ohio Republican, said he's not confident that Congress can reach a deal and avoid a downgrade. No serious negotiations are expected until after the November elections. Moody's also noted that the under review after the debt limit is reached, but several weeks before the exhaustion of the Treasury's resources,'' Moody's analyst Steven A. Hess said in his report. Despite the rating cut last year from S&P and the warn- ings from Moody's and Fitch, the U.S. has been able to con- tinue borrowing at very low rates. That's because investors are still buying U.S. govern- ment bonds, as economic tur- moil in Europe and uncertain- ty in other parts of the globe have left U.S. debt and U.S. dollars looking like safe bets. In contrast, bond investors demand high rates from trou- bled countries like Spain and Italy. government will likely again reach the debt limit by the end of the year, which means another round of negotiations in Congress on raising the limit if the U.S. is to keep pay- ing its bills. ''Under these cir- cumstances, the government's rating would likely be placed The stock markets plunged when the downgrade occurred in August 2011. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 634 points on the first trading day after S&P's announce- ment. But Moody's warning on Tuesday did little to ruffle traders. The Dow average rose 70 points to 13,325 in late- afternoon trading. Have a news tip?
