a life threatening illness. She will share her
experiences and life lessons to help others
see the Lords love and power in their lives.
Saturday will also be highlighted by ten
extraordinary breakout workshops.

ence the "joy of the Lord." She offers several

ing healthy, balanced, happy
life in Christ.

itually intense, as we press

er change your approach to
your daily quiet time.

His Hand by Cindy Lou Prince:

her down the road to living a life free from
the past.

Much More by Denise Johnson: The one
thing every blended family has in common is
its origin in pain. Learn how to "Life in the
Blender" can blend the pain with beauty,
comfort and joy. He will trade baeuty for the
ashes that life has created, making so much
more from your life.

times seem impossible and preparing them

daunting. In this workshop, come and dis-
cuss with a high school English teacher how
to prepare your children to leave the nest.

Project FREE preschool, a program of the Womens
Resource Center of Northern Michigan (WRCNM), has open-
ings for children who will be four years of age by December
1. The program provides students the opportunity to gain
social and kindergarten readiness skills through various
activities including art, music, dramatic play, computer time,
outdoor play and centers.
Project FREE preschool is offered half days, Monday
through Thursday, from October through May and is free to
those meeting certain state qualifying criteria. The class-
room is located in the WRCNMs administrative office build-
ing adjacent to the agencys Childrens Learning Center
(CLC). Parents that require full-day care for their child have
access to the CLCs licensed child care program.
Project FREE preschool is taught by returning lead teach-
ers, Shelley Troup and Sara McVannel, and teaching assistant
Trista Cady. Both lead teachers have elementary education
degrees with early childhood endorsements and solid experi-
ence in the classroom setting. Teachers connect with stu-
dents and their families through several home visits, the first
of which takes place prior to the start of the school year. It is
a time to meet the students and their families, answer ques-
tions and complete necessary paperwork. Project FREE
teachers offer parent-teacher conferences during the school
year, as well as individual family counseling at no cost.
The goal of Project FREE preschool is to make school a
positive experience for each student and create a smooth
transition into kindergarten, said Troup. It also helps give
them confidence and lets them know whats expected of
them within the structure of the classroom, added

Mackinac Bridge Continued...
of well over 900 tractors, representing
approximately 38 clubs from Michigan,
Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin.
This years Grand Marshal for the parade
will be Katie Darrow, who owns Darrow Bros
Excavating with her son Darby, and has gra-
ciously allowed the vintage tractors to be
staged each year on her property located on
West Central Avenue in Mackinaw City.
Katie Darrow recalls, The organizers of
the event had contacted me several years
ago about a new venture for Mackinaw City
and were looking for land to serve as a stag-
ing area for the tractors. I felt that anytime
we can bring business to Straits area and
promote our regionthat is what we should
be doing. Its a great event to bring to the
community each year and we are glad to be
a part of it.
Following the parade through Mackinaw
City, across the Mackinac Bridge, and
through St. Ignace on Friday morning, the
tractors will be on display on the grounds at
the Kewadin Shores Casino on Friday and
Saturday for public viewing. There is no
charge for the public to come by and view
the tractors on either side of the Bridge, and
the event will officially end at 5 pm on
Saturday.
Bob Baumgras notes, We thank the
Mackinac Bridge Authority for making this
event possible. We are working to find a new
location for the staging area in St. Ignace for
next year as the existing area at Kewadin
Casino is being converted into an RV Park.
We are working with representatives from
the Bridge Authority to look at possible
options. For an event this size, it is impor-
tant to do it right.
On Saturday, its time for the big rigs, as the
17th Annual Richard Crane Truck Show will
bring over 100 eighteen-wheelers to the
Straits area. These awesome trucks will be
on display from September 14th through the
16th, with show headquarters located at the
Little Bear Arena in St. Ignace. Along with
scores of trucks featuring fabulous paint and
artwork, custom chrome, lights and incredi-
ble interior design, the show will include
several vendors offering very cool toys,
apparel and more. There will also be a Car
Show in St. Ignace on Saturday in conjunc-
tion with the Big Rig Truck
Show.
A highlight of the show is
the annual Parade of Lights.
At dusk on Saturday,
September 15th, the big rigs
will fire up, light up, and
cruise across the Mackinac
Bridge, parade through
Mackinaw City, and back
across the Bridge and to the
Little Bear Arena. All along
the way these vehicles will
be dazzling brilliantly with
custom light displays. The
Richard Crane Memorial
Truck Show award ceremony
will be held at Little Bear
Arena on Marquette Street at
2 pm on Sunday.
Dont miss these one-of-a-
kind events taking place this
weekend in the Straits of
Mackinac area.

This years Antique
Tractor Bridge Crossing
event at the Straits of
Mackinac will be a par-
ticularly memorable one
for Michigan residents
Benjamin Camp and
Randi Huffine, as they
will be tying the knot at
a sunrise ceremony at
the Headlands Dark Sky
Park on Friday morning
before joining the tractor
crossing event.
We both have a love
for agriculture, notes
Ben Camp, and this
seemed like a very
appropriate occasion for
holding our wedding.
Randi was raised on a
standard bred racehorse
farm and I was raised on
a small crop farm, and we both have enjoyed attending the
Tractor Crossing event in past years. So we rented a house at
the Headlands, will be married in the front yard of that
house at sunrise on Friday, and then we will join the tractor
parade through Mackinaw City and Mackinac Bridge Tractor
Crossing. We are both very excited.
Those attending Fridays crossing event can spot the new-
lyweds driving a 1951 John Deere B. This will be the first
time they have joined the crossing parade. Now thats a
unique and truly memorable way to start their lives together.

Many Northern Michigan residents are
familiar with the outstanding opportunities
provided by the ongoing work of the
Bergmann Center in Charlevoix. The staff at
the non-profit Center assists in building life
skills for individuals with developmental dis-
abilities, with programs that include on-site
job training and employment opportunities,
volunteer opportunities, community aware-
ness, daily living skills and enrichment class-
es.
What many may not be aware of is that
starting in August of 2010, The Bergmann
Center opened a fantastic Resale Shop locat-
ed right next to their main facility on Ance
Road, offering terrific bargains on resale
goods ranging from clothing, furniture and
other household items, to one-of-a-kind new
products created by local individuals.
Aimee Vander Ark, Administrative
Assistant at the Bergmann Center and Resale
Shop Supervisor, notes, We have many
exciting products made by individuals at the
Bergmann Center; such as fire starters from
recycled material, furniture painted by a
local woman artist, gazing balls made from
recycled bowing balls adorned with donated
stained glass, items from clay, handmade
jewelry, love lights made with
clear stained glass and candles,
and much more. Our customers
regularly tell us they absolutely
love this merchandise, and
because they are hand-crafted,
each is unique.
In addition to a lot of great
merchandise, the Bergmann
Center Resale Shop also offers a
great place for individuals in the
Centers program to learn skills
on the job, such as running a
cash register and processing
inventory. These are valuable
skills that will continue to pro-
vide rewards for these individuals
for years to come.
We are very excited about the success of
the Resale Shop, affirms Vander Ark. We
have a great staff and core of volunteers, and
are always looking for more individuals who
would like to join our team.
The Bergmann Center Resale Shop is
located at 8888 Ance Road in Charlevoix, and
is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 am
to 4 pm, and the staff accepts item donations
during those hours as well. For additional
information call (231) 547- 9624 or visit
www.bergmanncenter.org and follow the
Resale Shop link.

time. Approximately 15% of domestic violence victims are
male.
In the year ending September 30, 2011, River House pro-
vided emergency shelter to 177 women and children, includ-
ing serving 5081 meals to children. An additional 211 clients
received counseling, referrals or other assistance at the main
facility in Grayling, the outreach office in West Branch or by
advocates traveling throughout the four counties. Their
services benefit more than abuse victims, however. In that
one-year span, they also provided domestic violence com-
munity education to more than 2000 persons and counseled
78 batterers through their Alternatives to Abuse Program.
On September 22, the First Annual River House Road Rally
will take place. The Rally will include stops in each of the
four counties they serve. For more information about River
House or to volunteer, visit their website at
RiverHouseInc.org or call 989-348-3169.

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY
GRANDPARENTS NEED TO
RESPECT PARENTS'
BOUNDARIES WITH KIDS
with Jim Daly and Dr. Juli Slattery
QUESTION: I don't like the
way my son and his wife are
raising their kids. I don't want
to interfere, but shouldn't I
have a say in what's good for
my own grandchildren?
Juli: There is an excellent chance that
your son and daughter-in-law know that
you have some concerns about how
they're raising your grandkids. Young
parents harbor a lot of doubts of their
own and quickly pick up the vibe when
a close friend or relative disapproves of
their parenting. Your son and his wife
are likely to be more defensive and with-
drawn from you the more they pick up
on your concerns.
Whether or not you realize it, you
potentially have a fair amount of influ-
ence in their parenting. They may even
welcome your perspective and opinion -
- but only if they first feel safe with you.
Influence is a tricky thing. When you
overreach with it, you lose it. A lot of
parents and in-laws are too forceful with
their opinions and unsolicited advice.
This causes a young couple to distance
themselves in order to ward off poten-
tial criticism.
Your greatest influence is your pres-
ence with your son, his wife and chil-
dren. Even if you never mention your
concerns or offer advice, the way you
carry yourself, show unconditional love,
and the character you model will leave a
tremendous impression.
My encouragement to you is to build
a trusting relationship, particularly with
your daughter-in-law. Find ways that
you can genuinely compliment her as a
wife and mother, remembering that
motherhood can, at times, be an
exhausting marathon. Show her that
you care about her as a person, and as
difficult as it may be, let go of your con-
cerns for now. The day will come when
she is desperate for a word of advice or
wisdom. She's far more likely to seek
you out if you have built a trusting rela-
tionship than if she feels threatened by
your disapproval.
** ** **
QUESTION: My family recently
joined a church. My elderly
father has no use for religion,
and he's trying to convince my
kids that they're wasting their
time. Should I prevent them
from seeing their grandpa?
Jim: We'd advise that you set firm
boundaries with your father and make it
clear that it's your right and responsibil-
ity to oversee your children's spiritual
growth. He doesn't have to like the fact
that they're attending church with you,
but he needs to respect your decision.
At the same time, I can empathize
with your desire to maintain a good
relationship with him, especially for the
sake of your kids. Growing up, I didn't
have any grandparents. There's evi-
dence my mom and dad may have been
part of the witness protection program
(no joke!), and so extended family was
nonexistent. I would have loved nothing
more than to have someone to call
"Grandma" and "Grandpa." With that in
mind, it would be tragic if you and your
kids were to become estranged from
your dad over this issue.
The challenge, then, is to arrive at a
point of compromise. Make it clear to
your dad that you love and respect him,
and that you want your kids to be able to
spend quality time with their grandpa.
But also make it clear that you need to
make your own choices as a parent, and
that if he has concerns about your fami-
ly's spiritual path, he should take them
up with you, not the kids. It won't be
easy, but with honesty, open communi-
cation and respect from both parties,
there's no reason your kids
can't continue to have a fun
and healthy relationship with
their grandpa.

Its not even noon, yet Cory Gibson, the 35-year-old director
of the Little Traverse Bay Area Young Life and avid kiteboarder, is
all high-energy and forthrightness. In his office, housed inside
the Kilwins warehouse in Petoskey, he explains the mission of
the non-profit organization he has dedicated himself to:
Positively impacting the sometimes tumultuous lives of tweens,
teens, and college students.
Young Life is composed of men and women adults in the
community who care enough about kids to reach out to them,
and spend quality time with them, and mentoring them, says
Gibson.
He adds, This isn't your typical mentoring pro-
gram. We are Christians. We simply are there for
kids, wherever, whenever. We don't judge kids or try
to change them. We just love them unconditionally,
right where theyre at in life, because that's what
God does.
The 6-foot-9 Gibson is a former Division I basket-
ball player who hails from Battle Creek and once
guarded Michael Jordan (yes, that Michael Jordan) at
a hoops camp. He moved to Petoskey, with his phys-
ical therapist wife Kelly and two young daughters, a
year ago with the express goal of making Young Life a known
commodity in northern Michigan. So far, he and his volunteer
staff are succeeding. YL has a presence in the Harbor Springs
and Charlevoix schools and also works with students on campus
at North Central Michigan College in Petoskey." In late October,
a Decadent Desserts banquet is scheduled at the Emmet
County Fairgrounds, featuring comedian Michael Ash
Ashburn.
This past summer Angry Birds Boyne, a community-wide
event held at Boyne Mountain, which attracted 120 middle-
schoolers was, perhaps, this areas Young Lifes most ambitious
endeavor to date. Based on the popular video game, Angry
Birds Boyne featured a zipline, rubber balls resembling the
whimsical animal characters from the game, food donated by
Wendys, and a brief message known as a club talk - by Gibson,
reminding the attendees that God made them, and they are not
an accident.
While Young Lifes approach to youth ministry is laid-back,
nondenominational, enjoyable, and as low-key as tossing a fris-
bee at the beach with a teen, any adults who are interested in
volunteering their time with the organization must agree to an
interview process which includes a background check, safe driv-
ing course, and signing on to a faith and conduct statement.
Just as importantly, they must be eager to become conversant
with the current youth pop culture. (Hello, Taylor-Swift-on-my-
iPod, and who is Batmans bane?)
Started in the 1940s by Jim Rayburn, a Dallas Theological
Seminary student, the organization has a world-wide following
and reaches more than a million youth each year. Young Life
also owns 32 resort-style camps and has 3000 paid staffers and
34,000 volunteers. Green Bay Packer quarterback Aaron
Rodgers, is a YL alum, as might be your next-door neighbor.

The Otsego Conservation District (OCD) is
coordinating two great workshops this month,
both of which are brought to the residents of
Otsego County free of charge.
The first of these workshops is entitled,
Herbs 101: From Garden to Table. Long-time
herb enthusiast, Judy Wagley, will conduct an
educational and entertaining workshop about
a wide variety of herbs, how they grow, what
they are good for, and how to preserve them.
This workshop is slated to take place from 6 to
7:30 pm on Tuesday, September 18th at the
OCDs Native Plant Nursery, located near the
Alpine Center in Gaylord (which happens to be
near the University Center for those that are
unfamiliar).
The second of these free September work-
shops will take place at the Johannesburg-
Lewiston High School on Saturday, September
22nd from 10 am to 2 pm. Entitled, Wildlife
Habitat & Forest Management, this workshop
is half classroom and half site visits to local
areas where participants can view wildlife and
forest management practices in action. Guest
speakers include Martell Forestry, Inc. owner
and long-time forester, Keith Martell, and
Michigan State University Extension Forestry
Educator, Russell P. Kidd, to name but a couple.
With partners such as Huron Pines, the
Michigan Department of Natural Resources,
and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation,
this workshop is sure to be great for any
landowner wishing to learn more about how to
succeed at achieving their land management
goals. Be sure to dress for the weather as part
of this workshop is outside.
Both of these workshops offer an additional
component: free food. There will be free
snacks at the Herbs 101 workshop, and a free
lunch at the Wildlife Habitat & Forest
Management workshop. But to claim your free
food you must call or email the OCD to let
them know you are coming. The OCD is also
happy to answer any questions you may have
about either of these workshops.
For more information about either of these
workshops, or to reserve your spot, contact
Justin Burchett by calling (989) 732-4021 or
emailing jburchett@otsegocountymi.gov.
Further details are also available at
www.otsego.org/conservationdistrict and

Due to the closing of Gaylords Brothers Coffee, Saturn
Booksellers in downtown Gaylord has been forced to find a new
roaster for the coffees they brew and sell in their in-store Coffee
Cabin.
After much taste-tasting, Saturn is proud to announce that it
is now brewing Great Northern Roasting Company coffee in the
Coffee Cabin. Great Northern is located in Traverse City, and the
bookstore will not only be brewing fresh coffee all day, but will
also be selling several varieties of Great Northerns beans, which
they are happy to grind on demand. The staff recently trained
with the Great Northern staff, and The Coffee Cabin has refo-
cused its menu toward fewer but special drinks.
Weve always been a huge proponent of buying locally and
regionally whenever we can, and we carry many-made-in-
Michigan products in the store. So when it was time to find a
new roaster, its only natural that we looked right here in
Northern Michigan, says Saturn Booksellers owner Jill Miner.
And while we are, of course, saddened along with the rest of the
community by the loss of Brothers, we are very pleased with the
quality of coffee weve found at Great Northern Roasting
Company.
The Coffee Cabin has been serving Great Northerns coffees
since the Labor Day weekend, and customers have been very
enthusiastic.
Saturn Booksellers hours are Monday through Thursday and
Saturday, 9am to 6pm, Friday, 9am to 8pm, and Sundays 11am
to 4pm. The Coffee Cabin closes approximately forty-five min-
utes before the bookstores closing.
Otsego Conservation District offers free educational
workshops on September 18th and 22nd

School is back in session. If you have
school-age children, youre probably
busy getting them acclimated to anoth-
er year of hitting the books. But the
school years go by quickly, so it wont be
long before your kids are ready to head
off to college. Will you be financially pre-
pared to help them?
Its certainly a challenge, especially
given rising costs of higher education.
Consider these figures from the College
Board: For the 2011-2012 school year,
the average cost (including tuition, fees,
room and board) was $17,131 per year
for an in-state student attending a pub-
lic, four-year college or university. For a
student attending a private four-year
school, the comparable average cost
was $38,589 annually. And these num-
bers are likely to increase in the years
ahead.
So, what can you do to help meet the
high costs of higher education? For
starters, you need to save and invest
early and often. And youll also want to
choose investments that are particularly
well suited for college. Here are a few
suggestions:
529 plan When you invest in a 529
plan, all withdrawals will be free from
federal income taxes, as long as the
money is used for a qualified college
expense for your child, or even your
grandchild. (However, non-qualified
withdrawals may be subject to federal,
state and penalty taxes.) Contribution
limits are quite high so, in all likelihood,
youll be able to put as much as you
want into a 529 plan; although you gen-
erally cant exceed the annual gift tax
exclusion, which is $13,000 per benefici-
ary in 2012. Furthermore, if you partici-
pate in your own states 529 plan, your
contributions may be tax deductible on
your state taxes.
Coverdell Education Savings
Account Depending on your income
level, you can contribute up to $2,000
annually to a
C o v e r d e l l
Education Savings
Account (ESA) in
2012. Your
Coverdell earnings
and withdrawals
will be tax-free,
provided you use
the money for
qualified educa-
tion expenses.
(Any non-educa-
tion withdrawals
from a Coverdell
ESA may be sub-
ject to a 10 percent
penalty.) Unlike a
529 Plan, in addi-
tion to college
e x p e n s e s ,
Coverdell funds
can be used for kindergarten through
12th grade expenses and you can place
Coverdell ESA contributions into virtu-
ally any investment you choose - stocks,
bonds, certificates of deposit, etc.
Zero coupon bonds A zero
coupon bond is priced at a discount to
its principal or face value. You receive
the principal value when the bond
matures. So, you could purchase a zero
coupon bond that matures in the year
your child is ready to go to college.
Although you wont receive regular
interest payments throughout the life of
the zero coupon bond, youll still be
liable for the taxes on this interest. So,
before purchasing a zero coupon bond,
consult with your tax advisor.
These investments have proven pop-
ular among many parents and grand-
parents. However, youll need to consult
with your financial advisor to determine
which college-savings vehicles are
appropriate for your needs. But dont
wait too long because, before you
know it, todays grade-schoolers will be
packing for their college dorms.

THURSDAY: Matthew 28:18-20 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 18 And Jesus came
up and spoke to them, saying, All authority has been given to Me in heaven
and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching
them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even
to the end of the age.
FRIDAY: Acts 1:8 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 8 but you will receive power
when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both
in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of
the earth.
SATURDAY: Ephesians 2:8-9 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 8 For by grace you
have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;
9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
SUNDAY: Revelation 3:20 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 20 Behold, I stand at the
door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in
to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.
MONDAY: John 1:11-13 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 11 He came to His own, and
those who were His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him,
to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe
in His name, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of
the will of man, but of God.
TUESDAY: 1 Timothy 1:15-17 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 15 It is a trustworthy
statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to
save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all. 16 Yet for this reason I found
mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His per-
fect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life.
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the
only God, be honor and glory forever and ever.
Amen.
WEDNESDAY: Hebrews 11:6 New American Standard Bible
(NASB) 6 And without faith it is impossible to please
Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He
is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

You get to be a Yooper for awhile. You get to see
some unspoiled areas not totally untouched.
Once we are across my wife feels much better.
When you cross the bridge it is like you enter
into a playground.

I remember doing the Zoo de Mac and there is
nothing like walking the bridge and seeing the
view.

Bridges fascinate me, especially our own Mackinac Bridge right here in Northern Michigan. On
Labor Day my daughter and I participated in the annual Bridge Walk. What a great experience
it was to walk across this 5 mile bridge, becoming even more fascinated by such an amazing struc-
ture with every step I took. This weekend the celebration continues with the annual Tractor and
Semi Crossing. We sure know how to celebrate this wonderful bridge here in Northern Michigan,
dont we?
I have crossed some historic bridges like the Golden Gate Bridge and our own Mackinac Bridge,
but neither of them would classify as the greatest bridge I have ever crossed. The greatest and
most momentous bridge I have ever crossed was built long before these two great bridges were ever
constructed. This bridge did much more than to allow me to cross over some troubled water. This
bridge spanned the enormous expanse that separated me from God. It wasnt water that sepa-
rated me from God, it was my sin and there was nothing I could do to fix the problem.
However, God provided a way He provided a bridge. He sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, to
come to this world. The Bible teaches us that God became man and lived on this earth in human
form for 33 years before He died on the cross for my sin and then rose from the dead. The per-
fect Son of God died for my sin and in so doing, He did what no man could do for me and what I
could never do for myself. On the cross, Jesus paid the penalty for my sin in full. His cross
became the bridge that allowed me to cross over the expanse of my sin and have a relationship with
God, resulting in the assurance that I will one day be in heaven with Him. I crossed that bridge
when I trusted Jesus Christ to be my Lord and my Savior. I didnt drive across that bridge on a
tractor or in a semi; I crossed that bridge riding the only transportation allowed FAITH! The
Bible says,
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of God;
not a result of works so that no one may boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Crossing the Mackinac Bridge is an amazing thing to do, whether you drive your car over it,
walk over it, or even hop on your antique tractor or jump in your semi and make your way across
its long expanse. But the greatest bridge you can ever cross is that which leads to a relationship
with a holy God through faith in what Jesus did for you on the cross. This is a bridge crossing so
worthy of celebration that the Bible says that even the angels in heaven rejoice when any one per-
son says YES to Jesus Christ.
Thoughts on...What makes crossing the Mackinac
Bridge so special?

Otsego County United Way
kicks off
2013 fundraising campaign
with Day of Caring event
By Jim Akans
Over 55 volunteers gathered together early
last Thursday morning, September 6th, to
celebrate the official kickoff of the Otsego
County United Ways 2013 fundraising cam-
paign, participating in the organizations
first-ever Day of Caring event. After short
presentations by the local United Ways
Executive Director, Lorraine Manary, Board
President, Thomas Mammoser, and this
years Campaign Chairman, Joe Wambold,
teams spread out into the community to
tackle a variety of improvement projects at
area housing and non-profit facilities.
This is not your grandfathers United
Way, Mammoser pointed out during the
kickoff ceremony. He explained that while
the organization continues to support sever-
al area programs through funding alloca-
tions spearheaded through a Citizen Review
Panel and announced each spring, the
emphasis is now on three key areas driven by
an impact model focused on strengthening
the community. The building blocks for that
focus is center on three key areas: Education,
Income and Health.
The focus of the United Way is on com-
munity impact, affirms Lorraine Manary.
We are working closely with community
leaders to identify key areas where we can
make a difference now that will bring a bet-
ter future to this community. We encourage
individuals and businesses to get involved,
which they can do in so many ways. That
may be through financial donations, through
volunteerism or through advocating. It can
be as simple as donating five dollars, giving
five hours of time, or telling five friends
about the work the United Way is doing in
this community.
During last Thursdays Day of Caring
event, participants from Kohls A Team,
Gaylord Eye Care, Enervest, the Otsego
County Judicial System, Department of
Human Services, Linn Energy, the
Community Church of Christ, and a team
comprised of Linda Kirkpatrick and friends
tackled projects at the Habitat for Humanity,
the Friendship Housing Center, the Home
Run Apartments Memorial Garden, Otsego
County Sportsplex and United Way Building.
The 2013 Campaign fundraising goal has
been set at $175,000 and a thermometer
placed on the Otsego County Courthouse
lawn will display the organizations progress
toward reaching that goal in the coming
months.
We have just mailed campaign donation
letters to individuals, notes Manary. Last
year, individual contributions achieved the
largest collective donation group to our cam-
paign. Contributions of even just $20 or so
can really add up and make a huge differ-
ence.
She adds, We are also scheduling our
presentations to local businesses and organi-
zations. We encourage any local businesses
interested in learning more about the Otsego
County United Way to contact us so we can
stop by and explain what we do in the com-
munity and the many ways they and their
employees can give, advocate and volun-
teer.
The Otsego County United Way has roots
that extend back to the Community Chest
campaign established in the late 1950s and
Community Fund, which was established in
1965. Today, in addition to three internal
United Way agencies; First Call for Help,
Volunteer Center and Retired Senior and
Volunteer Program (RSVP), the Otsego
United Way has allocated funding in 2012 for
specific programs at several non-profit
organizations, including Big Brothers Big
Sisters, Scenic Trail Boy Scout Council,
Otsego County Judicial System, Friendship
Housing Center, Otsego Food Pantry,
Salvation Army, Child Welfare Alliance,
Catholic Human Services, Community
Mediation Services and Womens Resource
Center.
For additional information, please call the
Otsego County United Way at (989) 732-8929
or visit www.otsegounitedway.org.
Hammers raised and ready to go to work! Over 55 volunteers gathered together early last Thursday morning, September 6th, to celebrate the official kickoff
of the Otsego County United Ways 2013 fundraising campaign, participating in the organizations first-ever Day of Caring event.
Among the Day of Caring projects undertaken last Thursday, a group of vol-
unteers was hard at work creating a new patio area and memorial garden at
the Patriot Place veterans housing facility in Gaylord.

The only way to end poverty is to build community
Underneath everything we are, underneath everything we do, we are all people.
Connected, Interdependent, United.
And when we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all.
That's what it means to LIVE UNITED.
Choosing a locally owned store
generates almost four times as
much economic benefit for the
surrounding region as shopping at
a chain, a new study has conclud-
ed. The analysis also found that
eating at a local restaurant pro-
duces more than twice the local
economic impact of dining at a
chain restaurant.
The research firm Civic
Economics analyzed data from fif-
teen independent retailers and
seven independent restaurants, all
located in Salt Lake City, and com-
pared their impact on the local
economy with four chain retail
stores (Barnes & Noble, Home
Depot, Office Max, and Target) and
three national restaurant chains
(Darden, McDonalds, and P.F.
Changs).
The study found that the local
retailers return an average of 52
percent of their revenue to the
local economy, compared with just
14 percent for the chain retailers.
Similarly, the local restaurants re-
circulate an average of 79 percent
of their revenue locally, compared
to 30 percent for the chain eateries.
What accounts for the difference?
Independent businesses spend
much more on local labor. They
also procure more goods for resale
locally and rely much more heavily
on local providers for services like
accounting and printing. This
means that much of the money a
customer spends at a local store or
restaurant is re-spent within the
local economy, supporting other
businesses and jobs.

Crooked Tree Arts Center is expanding
their education programs. I am incredibly
excited to announce our expanded fall
course offerings, said Valerie St. Pierre
Smith, program director at Crooked Tree
Arts Center.
Some of the new additions this fall
include movement, music and visual arts
for pre-kindergarten through middle
school; stop motion animation, ballroom
dancing, tap and printmaking for young
adults; ballroom dance, ballet and figure
drawing for adults. Were really broaden-
ing all areas of offerings for children, young
adults and adults. We have classes in visual
arts, theatre, dance and music. With so
many dynamic teaching artists joining us,
and such a wide array of new classes, there
is definitely something for anyone looking
to include a little artistic expression in their
lives. Or for those who just want some-
thing fun to do! St. Pierre Smith said.
There is also a Professional series that
includes creativity workshops and brown
bag lunch and learn sessions. This falls
Brown Bag lectures are focusing on social
media. With all of the changes and
advancements in social media, artists need
a chance to learn, explore and further their
understanding of this powerful platform
for self-promotion. Self-promotion is vital
to the business side of art.
The Arts Centers fall class information is
available online. The new 8 week classes
begin the week of September 24th and run
through November 17th. Registration is
open and can be done by phone or in-per-
son. Just to make the process more inter-
esting we are also transitioning to new reg-
istration software, so that has added to the
learning curve. Winter and Spring classes
will be announced several weeks prior to
the beginning of each session; registration
will be available online, over the phone or
in-person at the Arts Center.
Another big change to the education
programming is the scheduling. We are
offering 3-8 week sessions: Fall, which we
just announced, Winter and Spring. Each
session of 8 week classes has been
designed to work with holiday and public
school calendars. Our hope is that the new
streamlined schedule will be easier for
patrons to work into their schedules. And
give everyone something to look forward to
when the classes are announced each ses-
sion! Winter classes will begin the week of
January 14th and run through March 16th.
Spring classes will begin March 18th and
run through May 25th with time off around
Spring Break.
Scheduling hasnt been easy. Trying to
create a coherent schedule around so
many conflicts is a bit like building a
bridge out of match sticks. Just when you
think it will be solid, one slight change and
everything shifts dramatically! shared St.
Pierre Smith. Established Dance
Department classes and the Strings pro-
gram remain on their previous schedules
of 17 weeks and throughout the school
year.

ings, as well as print the registration form,

Using authentic instruments, clothing, and hairstyles, The
BackBeats transport their audiences on a Magical Mystery
Tour of yesteryear, when the whole world first heard the four
names of John, Paul, George and Ringo. On October 20 at
7:30pm, The Opera House in Cheboygan will relive those
wonderful days and the music so familiar to all of us when
The BackBeats perform live on our stage.
The BackBeats is proud to be the only Michigan-based
Beatles show to have had sponsorship by both of the major
classic rock Detroit radio stations (FM 104.3 and FM 94.7)
and also by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. In
2009, when The Beatles released their highly anticipated
video game "Beatles: Rock Band", it was The BackBeats that
were hired to represent the band for the release of the game
in the Michigan market.
The BackBeats is also the only Michigan-based Beatles
group whose members have traveled abroad to perform,
including performances in Liverpool, at the famed Cavern
Club. Over the past few years, the band has extended its per-
formance locales and can now be seen performing not only
throughout Michigan, but in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Pennsylvania, North Carolina, California and Canada.
The BackBeats methodology has always been that
although no one can deny the importance of recreating the
music with note-for-note accuracy, its the presentation of
the material, the ability to keep the audiences dancing, clap-
ping, and laughing that has always made the band stand out
amongst the scores of tribute bands around the world.
Tickets for this nostalgic show are available by calling the
Box Office at 231-627-5841 or 1-800-357-9408. This concert is
the first concert of the Cheboygan Area Arts Councils
Concert Series. Sponsors for this years series are:
Continental Inn, First Community Bank, Barnich, Kavanaugh
and Cooper Insurance, Durocher Marine Division of
Kokosing Construction Co Inc., Encore Financial
Group/Ohio National, Wheeler Motors and Mike Sherwood

with good times enjoying the warm sunny
weather. However, for many others the
struggle to make ends meet continues. From
June through August, TSA invested more
than $10,000 to assist nearly 70 local families
with utility and rental payments, clothing,
transportation, prescriptions and disaster
relief.
TSA is also gearing up for this winters Red
Kettle Campaign. Those interested in ring-
ing bells at the kettles can contact the
Gaylord Service Center at 989-731-5959. In
addition, the public can support local TSA
initiatives by sending their financial gifts
directly to The Salvation Army, 116 E. Fifth
St., Gaylord, MI 49735.
About The Salvation Army
The Salvation Army, an evangelical part of
the universal Christian church, has been
supporting those in need in His name with-
out discrimination since 1865. Nearly 33 mil-
lion Americans receive assistance from The
Salvation Army each year through the broad-
est array of social services that range from
providing food for the hungry, relief for dis-
aster victims, assistance for the disabled,
outreach to the elderly and ill, clothing and
shelter to the homeless and opportunities
for underprivileged children. About 82 cents
of every dollar raised is used to support
those services in nearly 9,000 communities
nationwide.

The SERA group has been in existence for
many years with over 9000 members in 21
chapters across the State of Michigan. The
Chapter at which Cherwinski spoke was chap-
ter 19 and it meets monthly with the exception
of January and February. One must be a State
employee eligible for retirement, or the spouse
of a retired (or diseased retired) state employ-
ee. The Houghton Lake chapter president is Mr.
Rex Remington of Lake City. Other officers
who attend are from Lake City, Roscommon,
Houghton Lake, Clare and West Branch.
The number of persons on the list though-
out the United States which are waiting for
their second chance at life (over 100,000 per-
sons waiting). In Michigan alone there are
3,019 waiting. Cherwinski also told them that
it is easy to become an organ donor by simply
registering online at giftoflifemichigan.org or
call 1-800-482-8841 or go to your local
Secretary of State office and they will be happy
to register you there whether or not you are
renewing your drivers' license or getting new
plates.

Dont let fall or potentially frosty tempera-
tures stop you from enjoying garden- fresh pro-
duce. Extend the nutritional value and home-
grown flavor into your fall and early winter
meals with the help of short season crops and
season extending strategies.
Lettuce, spinach, radishes, turnips, and beets
are quick to mature from seed to harvest. Plus,
the cooler temperatures enhance their flavor.
Simply count the number of frost-free days left
in your growing season and compare it with
the number of days from planting to harvest
listed on the seed packet.
Protect these late plantings and other veg-
etables from chilly fall temperatures with
cloches, cold frames, and floating row covers.
Many of these devices have long been used by
gardeners to jump start the season in spring
and extend it much later into fall. These
devices trap heat around the plants, protecting
them from frosty temperatures.
Convert gallon milk jugs into garden cloches
for individual plants. Remove the bottom of
the jug and slide it over the plant.
Use the cap to capture heat or
remove to ventilate your homemade
cloche on sunny days. Or purchase
reusable cloches with built in ventila-
tion. Originally made of glass many
of the newer cloches are plastic,
making them more affordable, easy
to stack and portable.
You can make your own cold
frames. Many gardeners convert dis-
carded windows, a bit of lumber and
nails into a homemade shelter for
their plants. The window size usually
determines the size of your cold
frame. Just make sure you can reach
all the plants inside. For best results
your frame should be higher in the
back then the front so water and
melting snow can drain off. And if
possible, facing south for better
warming. The internet and garden
books are filled with plans.
I prefer the construction-free, all-
purpose garden fabrics. Simply drape
these floating row covers (season-
extending fabrics) over your crops. Anchor the
edges with rocks, boards, or wire wickets. The
fabric traps heat around your plants, but allows
air, light and water through so there is no need
to uncover the plants during the day or for
watering.
Increase the ease of season-extending fabrics
with low and tall frost pop-up covers and plant
protection frost covers from Gardeners Supply.
The frames are fitted with all-purpose garden
fabric to create protective tents. You can pro-
tect new plantings and extend your harvest by
protecting plants down to 24 degrees
Fahrenheit.
So with a little preparation you can keep
enjoying fresh-from-the-garden flavor long
past the traditional end to your harvest season.

Teen experimentation with tobacco products can quickly
develop into a dangerous dependency, according to the
Centers for Disease Control (CDC). However, it is a risk
often overlooked during back-to-school preparations by
parents of students attending middle and high school.
Despite laws preventing tobacco companies from target-
ing children in their marketing, the CDC says todays tobac-
co products are designed for addiction through the addi-
tion of special flavorings, and methods of delivering more
nicotine more quickly. Further, the availability of smokeless
tobacco products enables teens to use tobacco where
smoking is banned.
Lynne DeMoor, Coordinator of the Tobacco Reduction
Coalition for the Health Department of Northwest
Michigan, says there are many reasons parents may ignore
the threat of tobacco use when preparing their kids to go back
to school this fall.
Were constantly inundated with anti-smoking messages, so
parents may think, My kids already know the risks and theyre
smarter than that, DeMoor said. Of course, even the brightest
kids from the most stable homes can succumb to temptation if
they are pressured, or just bored and wanting to test their own
boundaries.
DeMoor emphasizes that
parental attitudes and behav-
iors play a major role in deter-
mining whether kids will
experiment with tobacco.
Parents who use tobacco may not feel they can stop their kids
from using it, she explained. Its true that children of parents
who smoke are more likely to pick up the habit themselves,
because tobacco products are readily accessible and smoking is
already part of their lives. But rather than accepting smoking as
a rite of passage for their kids, those parents need to be extra-
vigilant in helping their kids avoid their own dangerous addic-
tion.
According to DeMoor, the Health Department has been work-
ing with local school districts to adopt 24/7 tobacco-free poli-
cies comprehensive policies that include emerging nicotine
products and protect students and their families 24 hours a day,
7 days a week. Alanson Public Schools, Pellston Public Schools,
and Public Schools of
Petoskey have adopted these
policies, she reported. Many
other districts in Northern
Michigan and throughout the
state are also in the process of
updating their tobacco poli-
cies to make them more pro-
tective.
The Health Department of
Northwest Michigan is man-
dated by the Michigan Public
Health Code to promote well-
ness, prevent disease, provide
quality healthcare, address
health problems of vulnerable
populations, and protect the
environment for the residents
and visitors of Antrim,
Charlevoix, Emmet, and
Otsego counties.

mation, call 1-800-QUIT NOW

Hospice of Michigan holds
Fly & Remember kite decorating event and
memorial service
Hospice of Michigan will hold a Fly & Remember kite decorating
event and memorial service this coming Saturday, September 15th, to
celebrate the legacy of family and friends who have passed away. The
event will take place in Gaylord at Aspen Ridge Retirement Village,
1261 Village Parkway, from 11 am until 2 pm.
"Creating rituals to honor the memory of loved ones is just one of
the ways Hospice of Michigan works with patients and patient families
to offer support, strength and guidance through the emotional chal-
lenges of loss," said Briana Thorold, grief support services manager at
Hospice of Michigan. "The Fly & Remember event serves as a reminder
that memorials and grieving can be an uplifting experience."
Attendees of this free event will have the opportunity to personalize
a kite in memory of their loved one and then to fly it in that person's
honor. HOM invites the whole family to the open house event and to
join in for an afternoon of sharing memories, laughter and a cookout
style lunch.
HOM's first Fly & Remember event was held in 2009 in
Saginaw, Michigan. Today, there are nine Fly &
Remember events held across the state and attended by
hundreds of people.
Registration information for Fly & Remember can be
found at http://tiny.cc/FlyRemember. HOM is also offer-
ing families the opportunity to make a donation and fly
a virtual kite if they are unable to attend the event.
Interested individuals or groups can find out more
by visiting http://tiny.cc/VirtualKite. For more infor-
mation, call Hospice of Michigan's CARE Center 24/7
at 888.247.5701 or go to www.hom.org.
