dition of award-winning jour-
nalist Andy Sneddon to the
editorial staff of the newspaper.
Sneddon, 46, of Alanson will
be covering sports with a focus
on the schools in the northern
region of the papers large dis-
tribution area, including
Petoskey, Cheboygan,
Charlevoix, Inland Lakes, Pell-
ston, Onaway, Alanson and
Mackinaw City, among others.
Sneddon is a familiar name to
Weekly Choice readers and a fa-
miliar face to prep sports fans.
He previously served as a
sportswriter at the Petoskey
News-Review from 1999 to 2006
and then as sports editor of the
paper from 2006-2012.
Im very happy to join the
staff at the Weekly Choice, he
said on Monday. Im very famil-
iar with many of the communi-
ties in its coverage area,
particularly Petoskey and
Cheboygan, and have enjoyed
working with the coaches and
administrators at those schools
for a long time.
Sneddon, who earned a Bache-
lor of Arts Degree in journal-
ism and communication from
Oakland University in 1990, has
also served as sports editor of

has drawn praise and commen-
dation through the years for his

fans. He has won more than two
dozen state and national awards

cluding several for sports fea-
ture writing and sports
columns.
His years of service in north-
ern Michigan have given Sned-
don a unique insight into
community values as viewed
through the prism of high
school sports.
The way communities in
northern Michigan embrace
their high school teams is some-
thing to be coveted, he said. It
isnt like that in a lot of places,

Over the course of Sep-
tember 25th and 26th,
nearly 400 eighth grade
students from the Vander-
bilt Area School, Johan-
nesburg-Lewiston Middle
School, St. Mary Cathe-
dral School, and Gaylord
Middle School took part
in an inaugural field trip
to the Louis M. Groen Na-
ture Preserve to learn
about natural resource
topics such as agricul-
ture, water quality, soil
erosion, forestry, logging
history, wildlife, and gas
and oil. The seven 20
minute workshops during
the field trip were pre-
sented by experts from
the Michigan Department
of Natural Resources,
Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality,
Natural Resource Conser-
vation Service, HeadWa-
ters Trout Unlimited,
Metcalfe Forestry, Sklar-
czyk Seed Farm, and
Charlton Township Su-
pervisor and avid student
of Johannesburg history,
Matthew Nowak.
Coordinated by Otsego
Conservation District
(OCD) Administrator, Pa-
tricia Osburn, with the
help of Huron Pines
AmeriCorps Member,
Justin Burchett, the cre-
ation of this new opportu-
nity for eighth graders in
Otsego County was
brought about through
the initiative of Don
Sklarczyk. A long-time
friend of Mr. Groen, Don
wanted to bring to life Mr.
Groens vision of utiliz-
ing the recently donated
764-acre parcel located in
Johannesburg to teach
the next generation about
conservation and the en-
vironment. With funding
made available Smile
Through The Miles and
the Otsego Wildlife
Legacy Society (OWLS),
the field trip was able to
take place without requir-
ing any financial input
from participating
schools.
The OCD would like to
thank Don Sklarczyk,
Smile Through The Miles,
the OWLS, the Otsego
County Parks & Recre-
ation Department, the
Louis M. Groen Nature
Preserve and the Groen
Family, the countless vol-
unteers and wonderful
presenters, and all the
schools that participated
for making this event a
huge success! They hope
to make the trip an an-
nual event for all 8th
graders in Otsego County
for years to come.
Additional pictures of
the field trip can be found
by visiting www.face-
book.com/otsegocd.

Huron Pines AmeriCorps
member serving at the Ot-
sego Conservation Dis-
trict and the Louis M.

Who owns Crawford
County? Thousands of
people have a piece of it,
and they are listed in the
new plat book published
by the Crawford-Roscom-
mon Conservation Dis-
trict with Mapping
Solutions. The 2013 book
is available for purchase
at the Crawford County
Register of Deeds office,
Skips Sport Shop, South
Branch Township or the
Conservation District Of-
fice, 500 Lake Street in
Roscommon. For more
information contact the
office at (989) 275-3163.
New this year are aer-
ial view maps opposite
the landownership map
pages. The 74 page spiral
bound book features
township and range
maps of Crawford
County. These maps in-
clude the property
boundaries for all rural
parcels within the town-
ship, the name of the
owner and the number of
acres owned. Also, there
is a handy landowner
index for easy cross ref-
erencing. Due to the
large number and small
lot sizes, the book does
not include those maps of
landowners within Craw-
ford County towns, vil-
lages and cities. That
information is available
to the public through the
Crawford County Court-
house.
The book also serves as
a Recreation Guide as it
has maps of hiking and
biking trails, snowmobile
and off road vehicle
trails, campgrounds, and
the Mason Tract path-
way. There is additional
data about recreation
properties and facilities
in Crawford County in-
cluding public water ac-
cess sites and boating
and fishing access sites.
Information about the
Crawford-Roscommon
Conservation District
and the County Govern-
ment is included in the
book. A School District
Map, a General Highway
Map and Municipal Maps
for Frederic, Grayling
and Lovells are found in
the new edition. An ex-
planation of the public
land survey system is an
added bonus.
This information is
valuable to anyone with a
need to know who owns
land in Crawford County.
Prospective or adjoining
property owners,
hunters, foresters, tim-
ber and petroleum indus-
try personnel, emergency
services and many others
would be interested in
having a copy.

Mio - A few months ago, in
May, Roxanne Striggow opened
the doors to her amazing busi-
ness. There were several rea-
sons Roxanne decided to open
Amish Country Natural prod-
ucts. First off, she wanted a
chance to help local families
take better care of their bodies
with organic and natural foods,
and personal products. Work-
ing in the nursing industry for
year, Roxanne saw that many
people either werent aware of
the importance of eating right,
or that they didnt have the op-
tion to change. Through her
store she is able to bring many
great organic, vegetarian and
gluten free product that cant
generally be found in this small
town area. Her store allows
people to live more sustainably
in their own county and home
town area, instead of the need
to drive to a bigger city for
these types of items.
Not only does the store carry
packed foods, but you will also
find many bulk items, as well
as fresh seasonal produce. If
you are looking for healthy al-
ternatives to grocery store
milk, you will find that here
too. Roxanne caries milk and
yogurt from Shetler Family
Dairy located in Kalkaska. But
healthy food isnt all that youll
find in this beautiful store.
In an effort to help out the
local creative community mem-
bers that have no year round
outlet to have their creativity
displayed and sold, Roxanne
opened her store up to consign-
ment for local artists and
crafters. Now creative folks
dont have to wait until warm
weather when the craft shows
start in order to sell the items
that they put their hearts and
souls into.
You can find a little bit of
everything at Amish Country
Natural Products. When you
walk in the door you will be
amazed. There are paintings,
sketches, framed photographs,
and note cards. There are beau-
tiful pottery items and wood
crafted items. You will find nat-
ural soaps, bath salts and other
body care items. There are
books, pillows, wonderful
quilts, candles, and other home
items. For the women, they
carry handmade jewelry and
purses, too.
Roxannes goal for the store
is, and has always been, to sell
products made in America,
with a greater focus on Michi-
gan, and specifically, Oscoda
County. Come on in and sup-
port this amazing venture.
Amish Country Natural Prod-
ucts is located at 1454 N Mt
Tom Road, in Mio. The stores
hours are Tuesday through Fri-
day 10 am to 6 pm, and Satur-
day 10 am to 5 pm.

Proverbs 25:21-24 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; And if he is thirsty, give him
water to drink; 22 For you will heap burning coals on his head, And the Lord will
reward you. 23 The north wind brings forth rain, And a backbiting tongue, an
angry countenance. 24 It is better to live in a corner of the roof Than in a house
shared with a contentious woman.

Romans 12:14-15 ew American Standard Bible (NASB)
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who
rejoice, and weep with those who weep.

Matthew 5:44-45 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
44 But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so
that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to
rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unright-
eous.

1 Corinthians 4:12-14 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
12 and we toil, working with our own hands; when we are reviled, we bless; when
we are persecuted, we endure; 13 when we are slandered, we try to conciliate; we
have become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now.
14 I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved
children

Acts 7:57-60 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
57 But they cried out with a loud voice, and covered their ears and rushed at him
with one impulse. 58 When they had driven him out of the city, they began ston-
ing him; and the witnesses laid aside their robes at the feet of a young man
named Saul. 59 They went on stoning Stephen as he called on the Lord and said,
Lord Jesus, receive my spirit! 60 Then falling on his knees, he cried out with a
loud voice, Lord, do not hold this sin against them! Having said this, he fell
asleep.
Weds
Romans 12:20-21 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
20 But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for
in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head. 21 Do not be overcome by
evil, but overcome evil with good.
Feeling persecuted by others is a
terrible feeling. Most adults can say
that at one time or another someone
has persecuted them. It may have
happened in school, or at work, or
from a family member. When you
feel persecuted you can build up re-
sentment and hatred against them
and most people do. God does not
want you to have those emotions
cloud your relationship with Him
and others. A good definition of
bless is to empower others to suc-
ceed. That certainly goes against
the grain of what you would like to
do to those who have persecuted
you. By being a blessing to them it
can set you free from your hurt and
release your persecutors to be
changed. To bless others certainly
would include prayers asking God to
forgive you for the way you feel and
asking God to forgive them and bless
them. In the book of Luke chapter 6
verse 38 it says, Bless those who
curse you, and pray for those who
mistreat you. Praying for God to
bless those who persecute you will
release you from the hurt you feel. I
spiritually direct people to pray
blessing upon them every time you
think about what they have done to
you. For some that can mean many
times a day. Within a short period of
time you will feel released from the
hurt.
It can also mean to empower them
to succeed in what you say to others
about them.
To help them when you sense they
need help. If it has to do with an em-
ployer or boss it can mean doing
everything you can do to make them
look good.
Thoughts on...How do you bless those
who persecute you??

Most often I pray for them. An example
is if I was driving my car someone would
cut me off I would pray for them because
they are lousy drivers.
Scott Hickman Petoskey
You have to forgive them first and pray for
God to bless them. If you see them all the
time be nice to them. That's what the
word says. You have to forgive first if you
don't, you can't be a blessing to them.
Shirley Lemon Topinabee
Kill them with kindness. Don't let their
negativity bother you. If you are kind to
them maybe they will see the error of
their ways.
Olivia Avery Petoskey
You put your feelings aside and try to be
nice to them in a way that is right and
helps you as well as them.

are being asked to assume

not only how much to save
for retirement, but also how
to invest, and how to manage
their retirement wealth. In
order to help those interested
in managing their invest-
ments and retirement
wealth, this fall Tomlyn Ad-

As an investor, how
much risk can you toler-
ate? Its an important
question because the
answer can help you
make the right invest-
ment choices.
Before you know your
risk tolerance, youll
want to make sure you
first understand the na-
ture of investment risk
the risk of losing princi-
pal. This risk is especially
prevalent when you in-
vest in stocks, because
stock prices will always
fluctuate and there are
never any guarantees
about performance. Of
course, a decline in value
does not mean you need
to sell; you can always
hold on to the stock with
the hope that its value
will bounce back. And
this can certainly happen,
but again no guaran-
tees.
How you respond to this
type of investment risk
will tell you a great deal
about your own risk toler-
ance. Of course, no one,
whether he or she has a
high tolerance for risk or
a low one, particularly
likes to see declines. But
people do react differ-
ently. If youre the sort of
person who can retain
your confidence in your
investment mix and can
focus on the long term
and the potential for a re-
covery, you may well have
a higher tolerance for
risk. But if you find your-
self losing sleep over
your losses (even if, at
this point, theyre just
paper losses), becoming
despondent about reach-
ing your goals, and ques-
tioning whether you
should be investing at all,
then you may have a low
tolerance for risk.
This self-knowledge of
your own risk tolerance
should help inform your
investment decisions to
a point.
Even if you determine
you have a high tolerance
for risk, you almost cer-
tainly should not load up
your portfolio exclusively
with stocks. If the stock
market enters a pro-
longed slump, you could
face heavy losses that
may take many years to
overcome, causing you to
lose significant ground in
the pursuit of your finan-
cial goals. Conversely,
even if you discover you
dont have much toler-
ance for risk, you wont
want to invest only in
supposedly safe vehi-
cles, such as certificates
of deposit (CDs). During
those periods when rates
on CDs and similar in-
struments are low, as has
been the case in recent
years, your interest pay-
ments from these invest-
ments may not even keep
up with inflation mean-
ing that, over time, you
could end up losing pur-
chasing power, which,
over the long term, can be
just as big a risk as mar-
ket declines.
Ultimately, then, youll
probably want to let your
risk tolerance guide your
investment choices but
not dictate them with an
iron hand. So, if you be-
lieve you are highly toler-
ant of risk, you might
have a somewhat higher
percentage of stocks in
your portfolio than if you
felt yourself to be highly
risk-averse but in any
case, youll likely benefit
from building a diversi-
fied portfolio containing
stocks, bonds, govern-
ment securities, CDs and
other investments. While
this type of diversifica-
tion cant guarantee prof-
its or protect against loss,
it can help reduce the ef-
fects of volatility on your
portfolio.
By knowing your own
risk tolerance, and the
role it can play in your
choices, you can help
yourself create an effec-
tive, suitable investment
strategy one that you
can live with for a long
time and that can help
you avoid the biggest risk
of all: not reaching your
long-term goals.

Philip Hofweber, Financial Advisor with Edward Jones
GAYLORD, (989) 731-1851
The new school year is already
well underway, but some families
may still be struggling to establish
their routine. According to Megan
Cole, Preschool Team Social
Worker for Char-Em ISD, its nor-
mal for the transition to be an on-
going source of anxiety and stress
for young kids and families.
Every member of the house-
hold is affected during back to
school time, Cole observed.
Whether its a preschoolers first
year, or they are returning to
structured school schedule, it can
be a difficult adjustment for both
the child and for his or her par-
ents. There tends to be less of a for-
mal schedule during the summer,
so the start of school means that
routines at home must change,
which may be hectic for everyone.
Cole explained that structure is
important to preschoolers. Parents
should emphasize the positive and
establish comfortable routines that
include nightly preparation for the
next day, a set sleep schedule, and a
healthy breakfast. While its nor-
mal for young children to have
some back to school jitters, par-
ents may want to seek additional
support if their child starts to dis-
play physical symptoms like
headaches or stomach aches, or if
they are displaying disruptive be-
haviors at home or at school.
Families who are struggling
with adjustment to preschool and
whose children are having behav-
ior issues can get free support
from a Parent Support Partner,
Cole advised. The Parent Support
Partner is a peer parent who has
overcome challenges and obstacles
to provide her or his own child
with a positive, supportive envi-
ronment, and is available now to
help. She added that parents who
work with Parent Support Part-
ners tend to feel less isolated, more
confident, and better able to cope
with challenges for the child at
school and at home.
Parents interested in working
with a Parent Support Partner can
get more information through the
Health Department of Northwest
Michigans Early Childhood Be-
havioral Health Initiative. The pro-
gram makes free parent support
available to parents of children
age 0-5 in Charlevoix, Emmet and
northern Antrim Counties. Call
the Health Department toll-free at
(800) 432-4121 to learn more or to
schedule an appointment.

For 38 years, Rainbow Plaque
Company in Gaylord has been
supplying customers with qual-
ity engraved plaques, signs, tro-
phies and many other items
with personalized, fast, and ex-
pert service.
Established in 1975 by Bill and
Helen VanDusen, the company
was purchased in 2002 by long-
time Otsego County residents
Eugene and Kelly Branigan.
The shop was originally located
on Old US 27 South next to the
current site of A2Z Resale, and
was relocated a few miles fur-
ther south on Old 27 in the
spring of 2013. Rainbow Plaque
Company has earned a legion of
satisfied customers over the
years, including Gaylord Area
Schools, Otsego Club, Treetops
Resort, the Elks, Eagles and
Knights of Columbus.
We offer traditional (or
scratch) engraving, notes co-
owner Kelly Branigan, and we
now also offer state-of-the-art
laser engraving, which can be
used on glass, wood and many
metals. The advantage is faster
turn-around and I also believe
laser offers a slightly higher
quality product.
In addition to trophies, signs
and award plaques, engraved
items include medals, clocks,
ribbons, desk and door signs,
recognition awardsjust about
anything the customer wants to
personalize with a personalized
message.
Kelly notes that turn around
time for smaller orders is typi-
cally two to three days, and
about a week for larger orders.
In addition to serving customer
here in Northern Michigan, she
points out that people as far
away as Florida and the State of
Washington have utilized the
services of the locally owned
and operated Rainbow Plaque
Company.
Rainbow Plaque Company is
located at 3491 Old 27 South in
Gaylord, and is open Monday
through Friday from 9 am to
5:30 pm and Saturday from 9 am
to 1 pm. For additional informa-
tion, call (989) 732-3336 or email

Choosing a locally owned store gen-
erates almost four times as much eco-
nomic benefit for the surrounding
region as shopping at a chain, a new
study has concluded. The analysis also
found that eating at a local restaurant
produces more than twice the local eco-
nomic impact of dining at a chain
restaurant.
The research firm Civic Economics
analyzed data from fifteen independent
retailers and seven independent
restaurants, all located in Salt Lake
City, and compared their impact on the
local economy with four chain retail
stores (Barnes & Noble, Home Depot,
Office Max, and Target) and three na-
tional restaurant chains (Darden, Mc-
Donalds, and P.F. Changs).
The study found that the local retail-
ers 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? In-
dependent 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 print-
ing. 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.

Health & Wellness
by Deb Hagen-Foley
Meditation refers to any
of a range of practices
that emphasize periods of
quiet thoughtfulness.
Transcendental medita-
tion is one of the most
popular forms; mindful-
ness meditation is an-
other. There are Zen,
Taoist, and Buddhist med-
itative techniques. Prayer
is another form of medita-
tion. The goal of any of
these approaches is to
quiet the mind and reduce
stress.
Extensive research has
found a relationship be-
tween meditation and re-
duced stress and anxiety,
reduced depression and
insomnia. Physical bene-
fits have also been found,
such as: reduction in
pain, reduced blood pres-
sure, cardiovascular dis-
ease, reduced resting
heart rate, cholesterol,
congestive heart failure,
metabolic syndrome (pre-
diabetes), hospitalization
rates, decreased medical
care usage and hospital-
ization; and increased
longevity in the elderly.
Meditation can also help
you to look better, as it
promotes youthful skin
and a youthful appear-
ance. Meditation is re-
lated to cognitive benefits,
such as: improved mem-
ory, moods, creativity, pro-
ductivity and intelligence.
Research in workplaces
has found that practicing
TM for three months was
related to improved work
and personal relation-
ships and increased per-
sonal and professional
satisfaction.
Nancy Beaver began
meditating regularly in
2008. Her son, Brian, died
in January, 2007, at age 27,
leaving his wife, Kristi, to
raise their son, Aidyn and
pregnant with twins.
Nancy has two daughters,
Lisa and Jess. Brians
older sister, Lisa, had sur-
vived a serious car acci-
dent in 2005.
Six months after his
death, she was looking for
answers. She recalls,
After 2 major incidents
with my children, Lisas
accident and Bris death, I
needed to find answers,
and peace.My identity
was so wrapped up in the
well being of my children,
I needed to find myself
again.I asked myself,
who was I before I was a
mom?I set out on a jour-
ney of self-discovery.I
needed healing.
In my search for an-
swers, I read many, many
books, especially those
writtenbyWayne Dyer,
John Edwards, and Jerry
and Esther Hicks.All of
them recommended medi-
tation.I bought and used
meditation CDs by each of
these authors, and found I
like the one by Jerry and
Esther Hicks the best,
Nancy explains.
She meditates daily.
Every day, after my
morning coffee,I sit in my
yoga room, in my father-
in-laws chair (whom Ive
never met, he passed a few
years before my husband
and I started dating).On
the back of the chair, is a
quilt made by her grand-
mother, a wedding gift to
her in 1974. I listen to my
meditation CD and focus
on my breathing for 15
minutes.
She feels the daily prac-
tice helps to center her.
It prepares me for my
day.It helps me to remem-
ber that I am in charge of
my life.I choose what I
think about, how I feel,
the intentions I set.Its all
up to me. Starting my day
this way sets me on a path
of empowerment. Medita-
tion is about quietingmy
mind, focusing on my
breathing,thinking
ofnothing else, to allow
my natural well being to
flow.I personally believe
that well-being is natural
to us, and we muddy it up
with worries and habits of
negative thinking.
My recommendation
to people just starting out
would be to trust in the
well being that is natural
to them, and find a
method that allows that
well being to flow.Some
may prefer to listen to soft
music, focus on a flicker-
ing flame, or listen to the
purring of a kitten.The
key is to focus on relaxing
and quieting your mind,
without falling asleep, she
explains. I have recom-
mended meditation to peo-
ple who appear to be
struggling with worry and
stress, but I find that
many people are task ori-
ented.They have come to
believe they need to focus
on issues and take action.
I find I am able to think
more clearly and solutions
come more easily to me
when I calm myself
rather than take action
impulsively and under
stress. Practicing medita-
tion has helped me to feel
centered and empowered
even ina stressful envi-
ronment.I can more eas-
ily maintain my focus and
not get pulled into the
negativity and chaos that
may be occurring around
me.
It may sound too easy.
Sitting quietly a few min-
utes a day, breathing
deeply, without concen-
trating on any specific
thoughts, can relieve
stress, improve productiv-
ity, even find happiness
after incredible loss. With
so much to gain, what do
you have to lose, but a few
minutes of your time.

Building Better Bones
Osteoporosis can be a
silent disease, one that
causes the thinning of
bones, which then causes
bones to become fragile
and more likely to frac-
ture.
Its a disease that peo-
ple often dont realize they
have until they fracture
their hip, wrist, or ankle,
said Linda Linari, RN,
BSN, ONC, an orthopedic
nurse clinician with
McLaren Northern Michi-
gan.
Linari will share infor-
mation on osteoporosis
prevention and treatment
during the Building Bet-
ter Bones class. It will
take place from 6 8:30
p.m. on Wednesday, Octo-
ber 9 at the John and
Marnie Demmer Wellness
Pavilion and Dialysis Cen-
ter located at 820 Arlington
Avenue in Petoskey.
The program is free and
open to all individuals in-
terested in the prevention,
early diagnosis, and treat-
ment of osteoporosis. Bone
biology, bone density test-
ing, treatment options, nu-
trition instruction,
exercise, and fall/fracture
prevention will be dis-
cussed.
Linari, who will provide
an overview of osteoporo-
sis, will be joined by pre-
senters Janet Havens, a
registered dietitian, and
physical therapist, Anne
Grimmer.
(Anne) will go over ex-
ercises you can do to
strengthen muscles, which
strengthens bones and in-
creases bone density, and
ways to keep yourself safe
so you dont injure your
back, or slip and fall,
Linari said.
Havens will educate at-
tendees on making proper
dietary choices to increase
calcium intake. And she
will go over reading labels.
Theres a lot of informa-
tion on food labels and it
can be confusing. She will
discuss how to read the la-
bels appropriately, Linari
said.
Women and men, partic-
ularly the elderly, can both
suffer from osteoporosis,
she added, though it does
more commonly affect
women.
Its a disease we can
prevent, or one that we can
halt the progression of
with appropriate medica-
tions and education,
Linari said.
Pre-registration is re-
quested and can be
arranged by calling (800)

This is your college
fund
Dear Dave,
Our daughter is 11 years
old, and we save $50 a
month for her. Right now,
weve accumulated $4,200
for college, a car or just
savings in general. Should
we be investing this
money, instead of putting
it in a savings account?
Jill
Dear Jill,
If Im in your shoes, Id
choose college as the focal
point over the other
things youve mentioned.
My advice would be to
move that money into a
529 Plan with mutual
funds inside. That way, it
will grow tax-free from
this point forward. Then,
if you continue to set $50 a
month aside for her for
seven more yearsand
the stock market averages
11 to 12 percentyoud
have about $16,000 sitting
there when she turned 18.
That wouldnt fully pay
for college, but itd be a
great start. Plus, she can
apply for scholarships and
grants and work and save
to help make it happen.
As far as a car is con-
cerned, Id set up a sepa-
rate savings account and
agree to match whatever
she saves. That way, if she
can put aside $3,000 to
$4,000, with the match
shell have a pretty nice
car. But in my mind, col-
lege is the most important
thing here. If you guys
can afford these contribu-
tions, and she wants to go
to college and will hold up
her end of the deal, you
can work together as a
family and make the idea
of a college education a
reality!
Dave
should we stop
paying commis-
sion?
Dear Dave,
Should families who are
struggling to pay off debt
still give their kids com-
missions for doing chores?
Steve
Dear Steve,
Yes, but it doesnt have
to be a lot of money. Kids
seldom get paid an
amount that is equal to
what the chore is worth.
To be perfectly honest, the
chores most kids does-
pecially the little ones
arent worth that much. I
wouldnt pay a kid five
dollars a day, or even per
week, to feed the dog. I
mean, it takes less than 30
seconds to scoop the food
into the bowl!
When it comes to paying
kids commissions for
chores, the biggest thing
were trying to do is find
teachable moments. We
want the kids to learn that
money is tied to work.
Then, when they have
some money, we want to
teach them about the
three uses for money
spending, saving and giv-
ing.
Teaching them wise
ways to do those three
things while youre teach-
ing them to work is the
key. And you can do that
for a small amount of
money.
Dave
emergency funding
Dear Dave,
How long should it take
someone to fully fund
their emergency fund?
Chris
Dear Chris,
On average, building an
emergency fund takes six
months to a year. It takes
about 18 to 24 months for
most people to pay off all
of their debt, except for
the house. Thats if
theyre gazelle intense,
and have no life other
than getting control of
their finances.
Baby Step 1 is saving
$1,000, and not paying
extra on your debts until
you have that money in
the bank. Once youve got
a $1,000 starter emergency
fund, then your list all of
your debts except the
house from smallest to
largest and attack them
with a vengeance. All you
do is work and pay off
debt until you clean up the
mess. Once thats done,
you move on to the next
Baby Step, which is
adding to your emergency
fund until you have three
to six months of expenses
set aside. Most people can
accomplish that in six
months to a year.
There are always vari-
ous factors involved be-
cause everyones situation
is different. But in most
cases, if you approach my
plan with the kind of in-
tensity I talk about, you
can become debt-free ex-
cept for your house and
have a fully-loaded emer-
gency fund is place in just
two or three years!

DAVE
Says
Dave Ramsey
Over the last two years the
Health Department of Northwest
Michigan has been working collab-
oratively with schools systems to
change their tobacco policies. Now
100% of all public schools in
Emmet County are Comprehensive
24/7 Tobacco Free.
This means every school in
Emmet County has now adopted
policies prohibiting the use of all
types of tobacco and non-tobacco
nicotine products in school build-
ings and on school grounds at all
times, and at any on or off-campus
school sponsored event, including
athletic events. Signage is an im-
portant way to educate the stu-
dents, parents and community
members about the policy change.
These tobacco free schools signs
have been made possible with
funding from the Petoskey Harbor
Springs Area Community Founda-
tion. TOBACCO-FREE
Campus/Ball Fields signs are now
posted at Petoskey Public Schools,
Alanson Littlefield, Harbor
Springs Schools and Pellston.
All Emmet County Schools Adopt

OCTOBER 1 Amid the contro-
versy and uncertainty of health
care reform, the Health Depart-
ment of Northwest Michigan has
one clear objective: To help people
across Northern Michigan navi-
gate the complex but important
process of enrolling in the Health
Insurance Marketplace, which
opens for business this week.
Twenty percent of adults age 19
to 64 in Northern Michigan are
uninsured, second only to the
number of uninsured residents in
the Metro Detroit region of the
state. Thanks to funding from the
Northern Health Plan (NHP) and
Michigan Consumers for Health-
care (MCH), the Health Depart-
ment has launched Enroll
Northern Michigan, an initiative
comprised of outreach, education
and enrollment activities, with a
goal to enroll 50 percent of the re-
gions low-income, uninsured in-
dividuals in the Health Insurance
Exchange and Medicaid by Sep-
tember 2014. As part of the initia-
tive, all staff members in the
Health Departments toll-free call
center have completed the train-
ing to become Certified Applica-
tion Counselors (CACs) to assist
people with the enrollment
process. They are available Mon-
day through Friday, 8am-5pm by
calling (800) 432-4121. One-on-one
appointments for enrollment as-
sistance, as well as small group
classes, will become available in
late October in local Health De-
partment offices. Meanwhile, in-
dividuals and small businesses
are encouraged to visit
www.healthcare.gov for answers
to common questions, and to

Fall is in the air, which
means that northern
Michigan orchards are
busy harvesting bushels of
fresh, ripe apples in prepa-
ration for the 35th Annual
Apple Festival taking place
downtown Charlevoix on
October 11-13. Apples are
Michigans largest and
most valuable fruit crop
and this year our area
apple trees are full to over-
flowing.
This has been a really
nice growing season for
fruit farmers, and a nice
growing season means
high quality fruit! said
Sara McGuire owner of
Royal Farms in Atwood.
Of course there are a lot
of new varieties available
to consumers. In the last
few years we have intro-
duced Zestars, Candycrisp,
Crimson crisp, and Dandee
Reds. We also continue to
grow many of the favorite
old standbys, Galas, Cort-
lands, Empires just to
name a few! Our most pop-
ular apple is the Honey-
crisp and that crop looks
great.
More than 30 types of ap-
ples will be on hand as well
as other fall harvest items
including pumpkins,
mums, squash, jam, honey,
maple syrup, pies, cider
and more. Warm up with
hot food items such as hot
dogs, soup, frites, pasties,
apple flappers, and kiel-
basa provided by local non-
profit organizations.
Our fall harvest celebra-
tion includes activities for
the entire family. You wont
want to miss the holiday
art & craft show in East
Park featuring 125 ex-
hibitor booths. Head one
block north to Bridge Park
for the childrens activities
including face painting by
the Charlevoix High School
Art and Performing Arts
Departments, pony rides
by Liberty Valley Ranch,
and a petting zoo hosted by
the Charlevoix County 4-H.
Charlevoix is honored to
have been selected as one of
the cities to be represented
on the Prayer Canvas as it
makes its way across
America. The Prayer Can-
vas is a grass-roots project
to honor the Boston
Marathon bombing victims
and survivors. The idea is
for it to be a symbol of
America...big cities, small
towns....every walk of life.
Every state will be repre-
sented. The public is in-
vited to write a prayer,
message, symbol, name or
paint a picture on the
Charlevoix canvas which
will be on display in the
park during Apple Fest on
Saturday and Sunday, Octo-
ber 12 & 13. Once the tour
has been completed, all of
the canvases will be sewn
together and at that point
the Prayer Canvas is ex-
pected to grow to the size of
a football field, if not big-
ger. The Prayer Canvas will
be presented to the City of
Boston on the anniversary
of the bombings. Each vic-
tim will receive a mounted
portion of the canvas and
the remainder will hope-
fully hang in a city build-
ing as a memorial to the
heroes and victims that
were impacted that day. For
more information on this
initiative visit .
Judging is underway to
determine the winner of
the 2013 Apple Fest Shirt
Design Contest. Students
from the Charlevoix High
School Design Class came
up with some great con-
cepts for this years shirt.
Stay tuned, the Chamber
will be announcing the
winner soon.
The Apple Fest Family
Fun Run benefiting
Charlevoix Kiwanis Youth
Foundation is on tap for
Saturday morning. The 1
mile starts at 9am; 5k starts
at 9:20am. The races will
not be timed and there will
be obstacles along the
course. The event is spon-
sored by Charlevoix State
Bank and promises good-
ies, prizes and lots of fun
for everyone. Register on-
line at or find out more at .
We love Apple Fest,
said Sara. Its a great way
to create excitement about
something so important to
our economy! Having peo-
ple driving in from all over
the state and even flying in
from around the country to
celebrate our growing sea-
son is very exciting!
Experience the magic of
autumn in northern Michi-
gan at the Charlevoix
Apple Festival. Join the
festivities and show your
support for our local farm-
ers, orchards and non-
profit organizations while
celebrating the season in
scenic downtown
Charlevoix this October.
The Harvest is in!

Petoskey resident,
Robert deJonge is fea-
tured in the current ex-
hibition A Walk Along
the Shore in the Edith
Gilbert Gallery at the
Crooked Tree Arts Cen-
ter through November
8th. In his work, de-
Jonge showcases the
power and beauty of the
Great Lakes while chal-
lenging the viewer with issues of
having to preserve this incredi-
ble resource. This is a large scale
and powerful look at the Great
Lakes. Bob is a native Michigan-
der who has been walking the
shore of the lakes since child-
hood. Bob adopted the camera as
the primary means of express-
ing his creativity, but never saw
the camera as a static tool. His
out-of-the-box approach has led
him to embrace many process-
ing tools anything that will
engage the viewer. Bob has won
numerous awards through his
photographic work and has been
granted five artist-in-residence
positions at national parks
most recently at Isle Royale Na-
tional Park in Lake Superior.
My passion is for creating vi-
sual art, but Im not interested in
just creating pretty pic-
tures. I find real joy in
my work when it
makes me an educator,
historian, and environ-
mentalist, explains
deJonge. These are
not just snapshots of
the lakes but images
that elicit curiosity and
wonder about the lakes
and their adjacent
lands.
Twenty nine images with dif-
fering interpretations of the
moods and senses of the Michi-
gan shoreline capture the spirit
of wonder in his work. In-
stalling this exhibition for Bob
was a joy for me, explains Gail
DeMeyere, Visual Arts Direc-
tor/Curator at CTAC, He has
put so much talent, heart and
soul into his work because he
wants to share with the viewer
his passion for the Great Lakes.
His work spans different photo-
graphic expressions with images
created on large scale aluminum
boxes, paper substrates and ethe-
real representations baked with
ceramic glaze onto glass. The
final effect transposes one to the
shoreline. We are all invited to
take a Walk Along the Shore
with Bob deJonge.
The Crooked Tree Arts Center
is located downtown Petoskey at
461 E. Mitchell Street. For more
information please call the Arts
Center at 231-347-4337 or visit .
This program is supported in
part by the Michigan Council for
Arts and Cultural Affairs and
Edward Jones of Harbor Springs
and Petoskey.

brated 50 years of cutting
edge satiric revues as well
as the launching pad for
generations of comedy
superstars. The Second
City continues to develop
the leading voices in com-
edy while touring the
globe. Founded in
Chicago in 1959, The Sec-
ond City has become the
premier training ground
for the comedy worlds
best and brightest. Their

comedy stars in the mak-
ing, but they will also

see absolutely hilarious
satire and cutting-edge
improvisation. No topic

table, chances are it will
be made fun of in an
evening with The Second
City. Tickets for The Sec-
ond City can be reserved

ing remains, so act

Chicagos Second City
coming to Petoskey
the cast of Second Citys improv All-Stars, coming to Crooked tree Arts
Center oct. 3rd.
Saturday, October 5th,
from 10:00am - 3:00pm at
Crooked Tree Arts Cen-
ter, artist and watercol-
orist Karen Kubovchick
will lead a workshop on
creating an artists jour-
nal and tips on using it
for watercolor observa-
tion and inspiration.
Artists journals are a
great, simple way to doc-
ument all areas of life.
Easily transported, they
make a great companion
on walking tours, hiking
adventures, or just a re-
laxing afternoon on the
porch when it is too
much trouble to pull out
all of an artists sup-
plies. Journals are a
great way to record
quick inspirations, do
small observational
studies and a myriad of
other uses.
Karen will be sharing
how to create ones own
journal, using simple
book making techniques,
and then sharing tips
and pointers on
what/how to use it. Par-
ticipants can bring a
lunch and enjoy this re-
laxing workshop while
being inspired to record
their own thoughts and
observations.
Space is limited for
this great Watercolor
Journal workshop, so act
quickly. Registration
and more information
can be found online at ,
or by calling Crooked
Tree Arts Center at
231.347.4337.

Most people can define domes-
tic violence, yet how many under-
stand why it continues? It
impacts millions of lives every
year at a cost of more than $8.3
billion, annually. Why do we
allow it to persistcausing vic-
tims, witnesses and bystanders in
every community to suffer incal-
culable pain and loss? During Oc-
tobers National Domestic
Violence Awareness Month, ques-
tion it and continue to ask ques-
tions until we solve this global
health problem of epidemic pro-
portions.
Question it: ask the overarching
questions
What do you think contributes
to one out of four women in the
U.S. experiencing domestic abuse
in her lifetime?
How do you feel when you hear
that 1.5 million high school stu-
dents nationwide experience
physical abuse from a dating part-
ner in a single year?
How can we prevent domestic
violence which currently results
in two million injuries annually,
with three women killed every
day by a current or former inti-
mate partner?
Question it: ask difficult ques-
tions or those that reside along
the fringes of the issue
What societal norms contribute
to its existence and persistence?
How can our community better
support survivors?
How can we act as role models
for healthy, respectful, non-violent
relationships?
What conversations can we
have with young people about the
images and messages they see
(TV, movies, magazines, video
games, internet, advertisements,
etc.) that demean, belittle and ob-
jectify women?
What is our community doing
to hold abusers accountable?
Why is domestic violence one of
the most chronically underre-
ported crimes?
How are patriarchy, entitlement
and gender inequality connected
to the prevalence of domestic vio-
lence?
The Womens Resource Center
of Northern Michigan (WRCNM)
provides immediate and ongoing
support, counseling and advocacy
(medical, legal, financial, hous-
ing) to survivors of domestic
abuse in Antrim, Charlevoix,
Cheboygan, Emmet and Otsego
counties. That support also in-
cludes a 24-hour crisis and infor-
mation line and an emergency
shelter for those seeking refuge
from abuse.
The quote, below, is an excerpt
from a letter written by a survivor
that utilized WRCNM domestic
abuse services. It sheds light on
the impact of this crime and the
hope of survivors to achieve a bet-
ter, safer life for themselves and
their children.
I was a newly single mother
with a two month old infant and
two year old toddler. We escaped
under great threats people only
read about in books or see in
movies. Not everyone escapes.
We are some of the lucky ones.
Domestic violence can happen
to anyone. What makes the differ-
ence is that there is help available.
The Womens Resource Center
was there for methey offered
support in the form of counsel-
ing, they made sure I was safe
from violence and that my chil-
dren were safe[they] were
strong supporters of my personal
educational goals.
My journey has taken me five
years. I now have an Associates
Degree in Nursing and am a Reg-
istered Nurse in the state of
Michigan. Thank you from the
bottom of my heart, thank you.
YOU DO MAKE A DIFFER-
ENCE.
Question it: ask what we can do
to create more survivor success
stories until solutions to the per-
vasive crime of domestic violence
are enacted.
If you have questions regarding
domestic abuse or dating vio-
lence, contact the Womens Re-
source Centers 24-hour crisis and
information line at (231) 347-0082
or (800) 275-1995 for long distance
callers. The WRCNM is also avail-
able to speak with social, civic,
faith-based groups, as well as
schools and businesses.
