Bullying in schools is a rapidly escalating national problem that has reached epic proportions. Statistics reveal that as many as one out of four teens are bullied, over 282,000 stu- dents are physically attacked in sec- ondary schools across the nation each month, and that approximately 60 percent of students identified as bullies in grades six to nine had at least one criminal conviction by the age of 24. Bullying is a big problem, and recently, 1989 Gaylord High School graduate, Michael Collins teamed up with David Zawicki to establish Gloves-On, a national anti-bullying organization that has garnered tremendous media attention across the country. Gloves-On is dedicated to helping people put on their gloves and discover and wear their
strengths, foster integrity through actions, and give back to organiza- tions that support self-expression, firmness, moral compassion and courage. It is about empowering both children and adults to share their strengths and make a difference through their unity in reducing the incidents of bullying. Collins states that he and business partner Zawicki were initially inspired by a tragic series of suicides that occurred about a year ago involving nine school age children who had been victims of bullying. At that time, he recalls, many non profits and celebrities stepped up and said this was becoming an epidemic in our country and some- thing needed to be done. I had went through a bulling experience in mid- dle and high school, and 20 years later I realized it was time to step

The 12th Annual Extreevaganza event, a very special, festive
holiday celebration and fundraiser for the Otsego County
Community Foundation, will be held next Friday evening,
December 2nd, at the Otsego Club Special Events Center in
Gaylord.
Those who have attended past Extreevaganza celebrations
know that this is one of the areas premier holiday events; an
evening filled with the excitement of live and silent auctions,
fabulous food, festive trees and wreaths donning glittering
decorations, and a gathering of friends and neighbors decked
out in their finest attire.
Now is the time to place your reservations to attend
Extreevaganza, as tickets to this limited seating gala go quick-
ly, and the December 2nd date is fast approaching.
Dana Bensinger, Otsego County Community Foundation
Executive Director, affirms, Tickets are going fast this year.
We have expanded the event so that in addition to the beauti-
fully decorated trees and wreaths, we will be featuring a vari-
ety of auction items including those which will represent the
four seasons, such as a hunters package, get away vacation
packages, and other seasonal activities.
Even the food stations at the 2011 Extreevaganza will high-
light appetizers reflecting the four seasons, prepared to per-
fection by the Otsego Club staff. There will also be a 12 Days
of Christmas Mystery Drawing, with a $1,000 grand prize, and
a classic photo booth will be on hand where guests can have
photos taken; a set to take home and a set that will be gath-
ered in a photo book that will be auctioned at the end of the
evening.
While the Otsego County Community Foundation original-
ly began as an affiliate of the Grand Traverse Regional
Community Foundation in March of 1995, 2012 will mark the
10th year this organization has been on its own. The
Foundation currently manages 41 funds, 31 of which are
endowment funds, investing a portion of the interest from
those funds to support community scholarship awards,
grants for community projects, and in many other areas that
serve as an ever-growing pillar to address the emerging needs
and growth of Otsego County as it moves toward the future.
The theme for this years 12th Annual Extreevaganza is
Giving - Always in Season, signifying the outstanding work
the Foundation offers in the community all year-round, and
acknowledging the many individuals and organizations that
have donated permanent charitable funds to the organization
throughout the year, enabling the Community Foundation to
pursue its mission.
A centerpiece of Extreevaganza is the auction of the beau-
tifully decorated trees, huge wreaths, and the four
Community Caring Trees. This year Caring Trees will repre-
sent First Call for Help, Gaylord Community Productions, a
Department of Human Services employment program, and a
meals program for the Otsego County Commission on Aging.
We plan to finish the evening by gathering round the piano
and singing carols, notes Community Foundation Board
Secretary and Member, Janice Lampert. Our hope is that
everyone will come away from the event having a wonderful
time, and learning something of value they may not have
already known about the Otsego County Community
Foundation.
Admission to Extreevaganza is $65.00 per person, and
those planning to attend are encouraged to make reservations
by November 30th. Payment should be sent to the Otsego
County Community Foundation, P.O. Box 344, Gaylord, MI
49734.
For more information about the event and learn more
about this vital community organization, please call the
Otsego County Community Foundation at 989-731-0597 or

Don Kelly Antiques &
Furniture Barn offer quality
vintage and custom furniture
By Jim Akans
When looking to refurnish, redecorate or
simply revitalize the furniture and accessory
items in your home or cottage, dont miss the
opportunity to check out the amazing selec-
tion of vintage and custom furniture at Don
Kelly Antiques & Furniture Barn located in
Charlevoix. The fascinating facility encom-
passes over 7,000 square feet of ever changing
vintage furniture and accessories, plus anoth-
er 1,500 square feet of custom furniture
items. From antique wicker to Early
American and European imports, the vast
selection is sure to tantalize the imagination
of virtually every furniture shopper.
Don Kelly founded his business back in
1985, as he recalls, it was in a small room off
my garage. I loved working with furniture,
and while attending a furniture show I dis-
covered a new type of finish stripper that
worked extremely well. I went home, tried it
out, and started my new business. It kept
expanding and I moved into my current loca-
tion in 1990.
Kelly adds, Something we specialize in is
wicker furniture items. People love old wicker
furniture, and we also sell lots of old pine, oak
and items made from other woods as well.
Vintage furniture is generally made with sold
wood or very good veneers. The workman-
ship and craftsmanship is excellent.
The services offered at Don Kelly Antiques
& Furniture Barn also include customizing
the size of furniture to match the customers
needs, and they will paint, stain and refinish
items to match the customers dcor if they
desire.
Don Kelly Antiques and Furniture Barn is
located at 6176 Old US 31 South in
Charlevoix. They are open Monday through
Friday from 8 am until 4 pm, and Saturday
and Sunday from 8 am until noon. For addi-
tional information, please call (231) 547-0133
or visit www.dkellyantiques.com.
As digital cameras become more and more affordable, ama-
teur photographers have access to features that can make a
good picture into a great picture. However, many people
could benefit from an overview of the basic fundamentals of
good photography.
On Wednesday, November 30 at 6:30 p.m., the Otsego
County Library will present Capturing Holiday Memories:
Digital Photography 101 with Kenetha K. Griffith of Human
Nature Photography in Gaylord. Kenetha will offer tips for
setting up the shot, as well as commentary on visual examples
to explain what makes the picture successful or not.
Participants are encouraged to bring their cameras and man-
uals if they need help in figuring out how to use certain fea-
tures of their individual equipment.
Because of the hands-on nature of this program, registra-
tion is required by stopping at the main library at 700 S.
Otsego Avenue, calling the Otsego County Library at 732-5841,
or emailing ocl@otsego.org. There is no cost to attend and
refreshments will be provided by the Friends of the Library.
Human Nature Photography is owned and operated by
Kenetha Griffith, a 23 year resident of Gaylord, Michigan. Her
specialty is people and nature. More information about this
local business is available at www.hnphoto.net.
For more information about services and programs at the
Otsego County Library, persons can visit the librarys website

TERRIFIC
KIDS
All kids are terrific and here at South Maple Elementary we are acknowledging kids for good character. The Kiwanis club of Otsego
County is helping us with this endeavor. Students who exhibit good behavior by following our school rules will be recognized by staff for
doing so. One student per class will be selected to receive a Terrific Kid award, button, and pencil. The student names will be announced
on our morning announcements. They will also have their picture taken to hang on our Terrific Kid bulletin board. This is an excellent
opportunity for staff, students, parents and the community to connect on a social/emotional level because good character is just as impor-
tant as good grades!

Page 8 Choice Publications ... The Best Choice! November 23, 2011
Q: I'm expecting my second child
soon and a friend gave me a book
that's supposed to help infants
get on a regular sleeping schedule
right away. I did a little online
research and discovered this book
is controversial. However, I really
need something like this because
my first child didn't sleep through
the night until after her first
birthday! Is scheduling OK?
Juli: When it comes to scheduling
sleeping and eating for infants,
there are two major philosophies.
There's what we'll call a "child-cen-
tered approach" in which the par-
ents plan what they're doing around
the infant's needs. They let the
infant eat and sleep whenever the
infant wants to and they pick up
and cuddle the baby whenever he or
she cries.
The second philosophy is often
called "family-centered" and focus-
es on the baby learning to assimilate
to the family's schedule. Feedings
and naptimes are scheduled, and
the goal is to get the baby to sleep
through the night as soon as possi-
ble. This approach sounds like the
book that you mentioned.
Taken to the extreme, both of
these approaches can be dangerous
to the child -- emotionally and, per-
haps, physically. If you take the
child-centered approach to the
extreme, every time the baby cries,
Mom is busy trying to feed, rock or
calm her. This can lead to a child
who doesn't know how to self-
soothe.
If you take the family-centered
approach to an extreme, you run the
risk of not meeting your child's
physical, medical and emotional
needs. A baby's needs change from
day-to-day, week-to-week. Your
pediatrician should give you some
guidelines regarding your baby's
need for food and sleep based on
weight and development.
I'd encourage you to use common
sense in blending these two
approaches together. Try to intro-
duce some structure into your
baby's life. Loose schedules for eat-
ing and sleeping will do this. But
within the structure, be sure to be
responsive to your baby's changing
needs for food, sleep and comfort.

Q: I often read about the prob-
lems associated with letting kids
watch too much TV. Certainly,
there's a lot of trash out there. But
is there any research that favors
letting young children watch strict-
ly educational programming?
Jim: Offensive content is not the only
reason to limit a child's TV intake.
Regardless of what they're watching,
research shows that too much TV can
cause kids to struggle academically and
socially.
A team of researchers from Canada
and the U.S. recently released some
startling findings regarding the effects of
TV on toddlers. The Archives of
Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine
studied children's viewing habits at age
2 1/2, and then checked in with the
same kids again when they reached age
10. The study found that for every addi-
tional hour of television viewing per
week at age 2, the kids experienced a 7
percent drop in classroom attention
and a 6 percent drop in math skills. They
were also more likely to be bullied; they
exercised less, weighed more, and ate
more unhealthy snacks.
The same study also confirmed previ-
ous research showing that early TV
exposure undermines a child's atten-
tion span. It also suggested that kids
who spend more time watching TV and
less time playing with other kids may
lose valuable chances to learn social
skills.
If you take this research seriously,
then the bottom line is that too much
TV is detrimental to young children,
regardless of the content. We'd recom-
mend getting your kids involved in
other activities, far away
from the TV. Turn it off when-
ever you can -- or get rid of it
altogether, as my family did
two years ago!

40 local merchants, crafters, home party associates and
beauty salons are joining forces to support a new event titled,
Pampered Holiday Shopping-- a marketplace and spa night
being held at the PHS gym on Saturday, November 26, from 4
to 9p.m. The event is a fundraiser for the PHS Senior All-Night
Party a safe, parent-sanctioned party held on the eve of
graduation in June. Admission is free, but anyone who makes
a donation at the door on the 26th, will receive a chance to
win a door prize such as a maple block cutting board,
American Spoon gift basket, hand bag filled with goodies from
Fashion Bug or a $1,500 kitchen/bath design from Lake Street
Design.
Event organizers have been touched by the generosity of
their vendors. Many not only paid to rent a booth, but also
contributed raffle items. Others such as Northmen Country
and Spicy Bobs, are donating a portion of their sales. Some,
such as Sunkissed Tanning Salon, are offering free services
such as mini-manicures and facial spray tans. While still oth-
ers, such as Avon and Party-Lite, are running pre-event spe-
cials and donating 50% of those sales.
Merchants and crafters will be joined by several school
groups such as the band and bowling club and will sell every-
thing from wine glasses, Poinsettias and wreaths to jewelry,
quilts and mittens. In addition, spa services such as paraffin
dips and feather hair extensions will be offered on the spot
with gift certificates from those salons available for purchase.
Several new businesses such as B Nuts Trail Mix, by former
PHS student Ben McMurray and Footspots, by PHS mom,
Marsha Stahmer, will have booths. Rounding out the shop-
ping experience are many well-known home party businesses
including Pampered Chef, Tupperware, Miche Bags, Thirty-
One and Arbonne, among others.
PHS moms, Lela Clark and Janet Moody-Becker, are the co-
chairs of the new event. Their goal is a night that lets people
relax and enjoy friends while shopping for unique gifts. To
that end, theyre offering a caf where shoppers can enjoy
comforting concessions such as home-made baked goods
and popular soups donated by area restaurants. Adding to the
fun are gift and 50-50 raffles which will be drawn starting at
7:30 p.m.
Clark and Becker said they could still use a make-up artist
and masseuse and are asking any interested vendors to call at
231-330-4516. But otherwise, we have a lot of great mer-
chandise and services we think shoppers wont be able to
resist! said Becker.

Its Thanksgiving week. And if youre
fortunate, you can look around your
Thanksgiving table and see several gen-
erations of your family. Of course, as you
know, many types of cohesiveness are
involved in knitting a family together.
But one connection that frequently gets
ignored, at least in terms of family dia-
logue, is the financial linkage between
parents and their children on one hand,
and these same parents and their par-
ents on the other. So if you find yourself
in this sandwich group, it may be
worth considering your financial posi-
tion.
If your children are very young, you
might want to start by emphasizing the
importance of three separate concepts:
saving, spending and sharing. If you
give them an allowance, or if you pay
them to do some minor tasks around
the household, you can encourage them
to put the money in three separate con-
tainers. The spending jar is for them to
use as they choose, the saving jar is to
be put in some type of savings or invest-
ment account and the sharing jar is to
be used for contributions to charitable
causes. You can extend the spending,
saving and sharing themes by encourag-
ing your kids to spend wisely, watch how
their savings grow and feel pride in the
work done by the charitable groups
their dollars support.
Later, when your kids are older, and
can earn money by babysitting, mowing
lawns or working part-time, you can fur-
ther encourage good financial habits by
offering to match their contributions to
a Roth IRA. And be sure to discuss the
different types of investments available;
they may enjoy learning about the ways
in which they can participate in the
financial markets.
Above all else, talk to them about the
importance of developing good finan-
cial skills and how these skills will play a
part in your familys overall well being.
Now, lets turn to your parents. If
theyre elderly, you may find that talking
to them about financial issues may be
considerably more challenging than
talking about these issues with your
children. Its unfortunate, but true:
People are sensitive about money and
often dont want to talk about it.
You may find that you need to be per-
sistent, especially if your parents are
getting on in years. Perhaps you encour-
age them to consider their current posi-
tion, and what planning might need to
be considered. Do they have accounts in
a local bank? Where are their invest-
ments held? Do they have a financial
advisor? Have they worked with legal
professionals on any arrangements?
If your parents have expressed inter-
est in leaving a
legacy or passing
assets to family
members, you
might consider
encouraging them
to seek assistance
from the appropri-
ate professionals.
After all, if some-
thing were to hap-
pen to your parents
without them hav-
ing made the prop-
er arrangements,
their wishes may
not be carried out.
So this
Thanksgiving, as
you think about
the value of your
family, you might
take some time to
consider issues
that need to be
addressed. . It may
take time and dili-
gence but when
it comes to your
loved one's wishes and well-being, its
probably worth the effort.

Getting all your holiday shopping done in two hours may
seem impossible. However, on Thursday December 1, 2011
from 5 until 7:30 pm several independent sales consultants
will gather to sell their wares under one roof offering shoppers
a large variety of gift ideas.
This is not an ordinary holiday shopping opportunity. It
promises to be a fun evening of women supporting women.
Shoppers will not only be supporting area independent busi-
ness owners, they will also be supporting the local communi-
ty. Each of the vendors has promised a percentage of the sales
will be donated to the Zonta Club of Gaylord Areas annual
scholarship through the Womens Resource Center to help an
Otsego County woman return back to school.
The list of vendors includes:
- Shawn Ferens with Tupperware
- Deborah Berger with Thirty-One
- Nancy Vermette with Tastefully Simple
- Barb Schram, Shaklee Independent Distributor
- Julie Werlein, Independent Partylite Consultant
- Independent Consultant Tiffany Lawrence with The
Pampered Chef
- Sharon Bolinger of Sharon Sell Bags a Miche consultant
- Brandy Riopelle with Mary Kay
- Monica Graham with Lia Sophia
- Bethany Hesse of It Works Global-Home of the Ultimate
Body Applicator
- Stephenie and Tammy LaBouef of Chocolate Sisters
- Liz Mench with Avon
The December First Shopping Event will take place at the
Gaylord Guardian Gals Headquarters, 400 West Main Street
Suites 114 & 115 of the Alpine Executive Center behind
Subway and Brothers Coffee and Tea. Light refreshments will
be served. There is no admission fee. However, shoppers are
asked to bring canned goods for the Womens Resource
Centers Safe Home. A complete list of the Safe Home needs
can be found at www.wrcnm.org.
This past March, on International Womens Day, the Zonta
Club of Gaylord Area hosted a Women At Risk International
Jewelry Party with great success. Over two thousand dollars
were raised to support women who have been rescued from
human trafficking. This Charitable Shopping Event was cre-
ated in an effort to help local women who have been rescued
from abuse.
As a Thank You and in preparation of the event, Zonta
members along with Guardian Gals board members, the
Guardian Gals themselves as well as their parents and AAUW
members will be breathing a fresh breath of life into the con-
ference and reception areas of the Guardian Gals
Headquarters. The painting party will take place Friday
November 18th (5pm-7: 30pm) and Saturday November 19th
(9am-11:30am), food will be served. Anyone interested in
helping should contact Amber at 989-731-1841.
Please also let us know if you would like to sign up for
Zonta's 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence E-mail
Campaign. From November 25th - December 10th you would
get a short e-mail with a follow-up link. The 16 Days

Spending at locally owned busi-
nesses leads to better schools, better
roads and local support of commu-
nity charities and fundraisers.
The Wall Street Journal recently
wrote an article that touted the ben-
efits of shopping locally. They com-
pared the impact of shopping at
businesses that are owned locally
compared to a business that is
owned by an entity from outside of
the area.
Next time are shopping in
Northern Michigan, consider the
impact that each dollar you spend
and how it will return to the com-
munity you live in. Every dollar you
spend works about 50% harder
when it is spent at a locally owned,
independent business. That's
according to an online tool that
gauges the economic impact on
local communities of spending at
independently owned small busi-
nesses versus national chains.
Launched by Independent We
Stand, a Virginia-based advocacy
group for independent business
owners, the tool shows that for every
$10 spent at an independent busi-
ness, about $6 is returned to the
local community in the form of pay-
roll taxes and other local expendi-
tures. By contrast, only $4 is
returned by national chains.
Depending on the size of the city,
this could potentially inject millions
into a local economy.
As such, spending at local small
businesses "leads to better schools,
better roads and more support for
other civic necessities such as police
departments," the group says.
The results are based on a study of
local retail economics in the Chicago
area community of Andersonville
that found local, independently
owned stores contributed more tax
dollars to neighborhood develop-
ment than national chains. The
study, co-sponsored by their local
chamber of commerce, also found
local businesses paid higher wages,
used more local goods and services,
and contributed more to community
charities and fundraisers.

Wheeler Motors
Presents Donation
in Fight Against
Breast Cancer
In October, Wheeler Motors of
Cheboygan celebrated Breast Cancer
Awareness Month by selling custom-
designed shirts and hosting their 6th
Annual Chicken Breast Luncheon.
The proceeds have been donated to
Cheboygan Memorial Hospital for
use in providing free mammograms
to local women who are uninsured
or under insured. This money will help provide needed
screenings for those at risk in our community. Members of
the Wheeler Motors staff recently visited the digital mam-
mography suite at the hospital and presented a check for
$2,191.38. Pictured on the
right is Linda Ciarkowski,
Radiologic Technologist.
Representing Wheeler
Motors are Lisa Sawyer (far
left) and Ami Nowosad
(middle). For those inter-
ested in purchasing one of
the shirts, there are still a
few for sale at Wheeler
Motors in Cheboygan,

Hospitals Renew
Partnership Agreement
Munson Healthcare and Trinity
Health are continuing their long-stand-
ing collaboration and partnership with
a renewed five-year agreement effective
Jan. 1, 2012. Mercy Hospital Cadillac
and Mercy Hospital Grayling, both
members of Trinity Health, will remain
committed to partnering with Munson
Healthcare to meet the needs of north-
ern Michigan.
Weve talked a lot in the past year
about the importance of partnerships.
Health care reform places even greater
emphasis on our need to share respon-
sibility for keeping the population we
serve healthy, said Ed Ness, president
and CEO of Munson Healthcare and
Munson Medical Center. This renewed
partnership agreement is great example
of our commitment to working together
to strengthen access and services for
people in northern Michigan, no matter
which hospital they use.
The renewed partnership will remain
focused on providing local health care
just as in the past by improving effec-
tiveness of patient care, increasing
access to physicians, and expanding
outreach programs in the communities
served.
We've enjoyed 14 years of a strong
partnership with several accomplish-
ments that have benefitted our patients
here at Mercy Hospital Cadillac. We are
looking forward to continuing this
strong relationship, stated John
MacLeod, CEO of Mercy Hospital
Cadillac.
Patients and the respective communi-
ties will continue to benefit from high
quality health care services available
close to home, including:
Local access to primary care physi-
cians
Local testing and diagnostic services
whenever possible
Local access to physician specialists
in community clinics
Local rehabilitation and follow-up
care
A management steering committee
with representatives from Trinity
Health, Munson Healthcare, Mercy
Hospital Cadillac, and Mercy Hospital
Grayling which will be responsible for
aligning and deepening the renewed
agreement. Mercy Hospital Cadillac and
Mercy Hospital Grayling CEOs also will
have a reporting relationship to Ness, in
addition to their relationship with their
counterparts in Trinity Health.
We are committed to providing
access to the highest quality health care
close to home, and our relationship with
Munson Healthcare allows us to do that.
We are excited about this renewed part-
nership and look forward to continuing
to serve the communities of northern
Michigan, said Stephanie Riemer-
Matuzak, CEO of Mercy Hospital
Grayling.
Through this agreement, Munson
Healthcare is strengthening its relation-
ship with the larger Trinity Health
organization through:
Collaboration with Trinity Health on
clinical and quality improvement initia-
tives to ensure the highest quality care
for northern Michigan.
Enhancements to Munsons infor-
mation technology infrastructure to
maximize the use of technology to pro-
vide timely and seamless information
for physicians, clinicians, and patients.
Continued efforts to reduce costs
through strategic sourcing and purchas-
ing via Northern Michigan Supply
Alliance, jointly owned by Munson
Healthcare and Trinity Health.
This agreement represents the next
evolution of the historically strong and
beneficial relationship the hospitals,
Trinity Health, and Munson Healthcare
have had over the past 14 years, Ness
said.

Tips for a Healthy Thanksgiving
Preparing a traditional Thanksgiving dinner that's lower in
fat and calories but still thrills the crowd isn't hard. All it takes
is a few ingredient substitutions and some clever fat-busting
techniques.
The Big Turkey
If you're hosting a small gathering, buy a turkey breast
rather than the whole bird, as breast meat is lower in calories
than dark meat. If you do buy a whole turkey, avoid "self-bast-
ing" turkeys, as they often contain added fat. And it goes with-
out saying to stay away from the deep fryer this year, and roast
or smoke the turkey.
Stuff the turkey cavity with whole or halved onions, halved
lemons or apples, and sprigs of fresh herbs such as sage, mar-
joram, thyme, and/or rosemary.
Rather than rubbing the skin with butter or oil, spray it with
an oil spray and season it with salt and pepper.
Good Gravy
Gravy is one of the biggest calorie culprits on the table. Use
vegetable oil rather than turkey drippings when making the
gravy it's still fat, but oil is lower in saturated fat and is cho-
lesterol-free.
If you use turkey drippings to add flavor, use a gravy sepa-
rator. Pour the gravy into a separator and allow it to sit for a
few minutes. Some of the fat in the gravy will rise to the top of
the glass where you can skim it off easily.
Better yet, make a low-fat broth-based gravy or a vegetarian
gravy instead.
Carbo-loading
Instead of using butter and cream to mash potatoes, save
the cooking water when you boil of the potatoes. The starchy
water will give the potatoes a creamier texture than plain
water would.
You can also add turkey or chicken broth, evaporated skim
milk, or fat-free sour cream. For extra flavor, stir in roasted
garlic and herbs. For added nutrition, add pureed cooked cau-
liflower, parsnips or turnips.
Dressing, not Stuffing
Bake the dressing in a casserole dish rather than in the
turkey, where it absorbs fat from the turkey as it bakes. It's
hard to slim down a stuffing recipe, so take a small serving if
it's your Thanksgiving favorite. Avoid recipes using sausage or
bacon; wild rice and grains are more nutritious than bread
stuffing.
Slimmed-down Sides
Scrap the traditional dessert-style candied sweet potato
casseroles in favor of a low-fat, naturally-sweetened dish. Try
a cranberry relish or cut down on the amount of sugar in your
cranberry sauce by adding fruit juices or apple sauce.
The Pumpkin Pie
Most of the fat in a pie comes from the crust. Try a reduced-
fat graham cracker crust or our crust-free pumpkin pie recipe.

11/11/11 Baby at Mercy
Hospital Grayling is
Familys 11th Grandchild
Grayling Numerical power is important to the
Gambino family. Numerical palindromes, num-
bers that read the same forwards and backwards,
are commonplace in this family with a Gambino
marriage occurring on 8/08/08 and the newest
addition to their family arriving on 11/11/11.
Evan Daniel Gambino was born at Mercy
Hospital Grayling on 11/11/11 at 7:04 pm weigh-
ing in at 6 pounds 9 ounces and measuring 19
inches long. In addition to being born on this spe-
cial day, Evan is the 11th baby delivered at Mercy
Hospital Grayling in the month of November. He is
also the 11th grandchild in his family.
Evan was born to Michael and Danielle
Gambino of Gaylord, who were coincidentally
married on another numerical palindrome,
8/08/08. Evan joins siblings Camrin and Jaiden.
11/11/11 is a numerical palindrome that hasn't
come around for a century and won't occur again
for another 100 years. For numerologists, its a big-
gie, as the number 11 is already known as a pow-
erful master number - and here are three of
them right in a row.
Parents were married on 8/08/08
