The time is getting closer
for the Third Annual
Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot
in Gaylord! The friendly, yet
competitive Turkey Trot in
Gaylord has become a big hit
over the last couple years, and
at the third annual Gaylord
Turkey Trot, we expect noth-
ing less.
The first two years, the
Gaylord Turkey Trot at
Gaylord Regional Airport benefitted the
Friendship Housing Center. Due to its
closing earlier this year, the turkey trot
funds will go toward Toys for Tots, a
charity that collects toys and clothing
each year with the mission of bringing
hope and joy to every child at
Christmas.
The turkey trot includes a 5k and
one-mile run/walk at 9 am on
November 28th, Thanksgiving morning.
The course, located at the Gaylord
Regional Airport, 1100 Aero Drive, starts
on the tarmac and continues around
the perimeter road to the south end of
the airport. Sixteen different age divi-
sion winners will receive a trophy for
fastest time. Race director Jeremy Speer
adds, This was created as a race for
charityits competitive, but fun. We
want to promote a healthy lifestyle and
get people moving. Its a good opportu-
nity to give back while having a good
time.
Matt Barresi, the director of the
Gaylord Airport, is hosting the event for
the third year and looks forward to join-
ing Toys for Tots coordinator Rosie
Warner: We cant do this alone; we wel-
come the partnership and are excited
about being involved in an event that
provides a new and healthy experience
for families. Barresi also coordinates
Wings Over Gaylord, the annual air
show held in June at the airport.
Add on a new holiday tradition for
years to come by spending
Thanksgiving morning being active with
your family. Its a great way to bond with
your loved ones, and an opportunity to
finally beat your siblings at something!
For just $30 per runner, you can get
the satisfaction of helping families in
need, receive a long-sleeve event t-shirt,
and- if youre the fastest in your age

Last Friday marked the
opening day of deer sea-
sonand as always it was a
very popular day to be here
in northern Lower Michigan.
While most hunters would
have preferred the snow
cover of a few days earlier
over the wind and rain on
opening weekend, area Buck
Poles were still a hot spot
on Friday.
Opening day brought in
two bucks and a doe to the
Oscoda County Buck and
Doe Pole at Luzerne
Hardware in Luzerne. Carl
Shehoan had the first buck
on the pole, and Ron
Cummings of Manchester
had the first doe on the pole.
Barb Nighswonder brought
in what would end up being
the only buck in the Big Buck
Contest, even though there
were 18 people entered into
the contest. Nighswonder

It's the holiday season, and there is pretty
much no other time of the year when we
Americans eat so much. Why not serve some
healthier meat options this year, with the
help of local Oscoda County company,
Pampered Beef?
What makes the meat produced by
Pampered Beef better than most others?
Their beef, pork, and lamb are traditionally
pasture raised, and also grown locally.
Purchasing local, Michigan made, meats and
other foods helps our local economy too.
The meat have no hormones or antibiotics
used, which means no contamination in the
meat you eat. The fact that they are raised
on a forage based diet leads to lower fat and
cholesterol. All of the animals are fed Non-
GMO. But that's not all! Pampered Beef fry
ages their meats and doesn't inject any
enhancements, so you get 100% meat for
your money!
Tom Trimmer founded
Pampered Beef in 1999. He
wanted to produce locally grown beef an
was drawn to the Oscoda County area from a
love of the North when he was a child.
Because of his love for what he does, he has
made Pampered Beef a well loved and
admired business, receiving orders for his
products as far away as Virginia and Florida.
Without the help of other local farmers,
Trimmer's business might not be as big as it
is. While Trimmer mainly focuses on beef, he
has other farmers that supply pork and
lamb, that are just as healthy!
Pampered Beef meats are for sale at Amish
Country Natural Products in Mio, Comins
Market, Fairview Food Market, Marjie's
Gluten Free Pantry in Fenton, and at the
Nature's Best Farmers Market. You can also
find them served at AuSable River Restaurant
in Mio and The Carrie James Restaurant in
Comins.
Pampered Beef is located at 3118 N.
Weaver Rd., in Fairview. They welcome visi-
tors. Call (989) 350-6729 for hours of avail-
ability. You can also learn more about them
online at pamperedbeef.net.

Tobacco use remains the single
largest preventable cause of disease
and premature death in Michigan,
lolling more than 14,500 residents each
year, yet many Michiganders still use
tobacco. This include 23.3 percent of
Michigan adults and 14 percent of the
state's youth. More than half of these
tobacco users have tried to quit for at
least one day during the past year.
Because tobacco products are highly
addictive, most users make several
attempts to quit before they are suc-
cessful.
The Health Department of Northwest
Michigan will join the America Cancer
Society to mark the 38th Great
American Smokeout on November 21st.
Smokers are encouraged to use it as the
date to quit, or to plan in advance and
quit smoking that day. By doing so, they
will be taking an important step toward
a healthier life - one that can reduce
cancer risk for themselves and their
loved ones. Research shows that a com-
bination of therapies, including nico-
tine replacement, counseling, self-help
materials, and a strong support net-
work of family and friends, can help
smokers quit. There are numerous
resources available to Michigan resi-
dents. Call (800) 432.4121 or visit
www.nwhealth.org to learn more.

CHEBOYGAN - Bishop Baraga Catholic School recently concluded its annual magazine sale fundraiser. Students who sold
at least 16 subscriptions won a Mackinaw Trolley Company ride and lunch at McDonalds. The winning students were accom-
panied on their outing by Father Joseph Ortega, librarian Joann Luttrell, and student parent Todd Schryer.
High winds and heavy rain caused power inter-
ruptions to more than 270,000 Consumers Energy
customers across the Lower Peninsula this week.
We know unexpected outages can affect your
business, and we want you to know we have
brought in out-of-state crews from as far away as
Kentucky to help safely restore power in challeng-
ing field conditions. Among the hardest hit coun-
ties were: Allegan, Barry, Calhoun, Clare, Genesee,
Ingham, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Kent, Midland and
Shiawassee.
You can report power outages and get restora-
tion updates by using a computer or mobile
device to visit www.ConsumersEnergy.com/out-
agemap or calling (800) 477-5050. Get more storm
and power outage information at our newly
updated online outage center at
www.ConsumersEnergy.com/outage. Were also
posting updates on Twitter with #CEoutage.
VIDEO: How we restore power.
We appreciate your patience and encourage you
to share the following safety and outage tips with
your employees:
If your employees are working outside, hold an
electric safety pre-job meeting using one of our
online videos or other tools. You can download a
presentation and guide to use with crews at
www.ConsumersEnergy.com/worksafe
Please stay at least 25 feet away from any
downed wires and report them immediately by
calling 1-800-477-5050 or your local law enforce-
ment agency.
If a downed wire crosses a road, immediately
turn around. Do not attempt to cross it. If a
downed wire hits your vehicle while you are in it,
DO NOT exit the vehicle. Call 911 and wait for
help.
Remember to Slow Down and Go Around
trucks and workers on the side of the road.
If you have employees without power, encour-
age them to call 211 for shelter or other assistance
until power is restored.
If using a generator, make certain it is isolated
from the electric distribution system for the safety
of our lineworkers and first responders. Never use
a generator in an enclosed area or near air intakes
to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, and dont
refuel while it is running.
If you have specific questions related to your
business and electric service, please contact your
Customer Account Manager or contact our
Business Center at (800) 805-0490 or
BusinessCenter@ConsumersEnergy.com.

With approximately 4,000 square feet of
fully stocked resale space, and new inventory
arriving daily, customers can shop for just
about anything starting with any letter in the
alphabet at A-2-Z Resale in Gaylord.
Founded by Bill and Carol Brown in May
of 2008, A-2-Z Resale has grown to encom-
pass just about any resale item shoppers
could be looking for, including appliances,
furniture, racks and racks of clothing items,
tools, home dcor items, kitchen items, tow-
els, bedding, curtains, dishes, nick knacks,
collectable figurines and spoons, candles,
holiday dcor items, luggage, golf clubs, tele-
visions, DVDs and VHS tapes, CDs, vinyl
records, puzzles, books, games, toys, base-
ball cards, and moreeven a special area
devoted to wedding dresses.
Astonishingly, A-2-Z has over 50 wedding
dresses and over 50 prom dress on hand,
plus over 4,000 pieces of jewelry, lots of but-
tons, purses, shoes, boots, sandals and 20
racks full of all types of clothing for men,
women, childreneven maternity and baby
clothes. There has never been a more eco-
nomical and stylish way to update your
wardrobe or get decked-out for that upcom-
ing special occasion.
We have just about everything here but
food, observes Bill Brown. We locate items
for our inventory from garage and estate
sales, abandoned storage units, donations
and more. We never know what we will have
next, it changes every day.
Carol Brown adds, Many of the items that
we offer, especially furniture, move very
quickly. We would love to thank everyone
who has stopped in and for being our cus-
tomers for five years now. We would also
enjoy seeing our friends from Onaway,
Millersburg and Harrisville areas stop in and
see us.
One thing is certain, on
any given day there are plen-
ty of items representing
every letter in the alphabet at A-2-Z Resale.
Convenient parking in front of the store
makes it easy for shoppers to stop in on a
regular basis to check out the latest invento-
ry.
A-2-Z Resale is located at 1829 Old 27
South (S. Otsego Avenue) in Gaylord. The
store is open from 9 am to 6 pm, seven days
a week all year long with the exception of
holidays. For additional information call

speakers from the Otsego County
Commission on Aging, the guest
speakers were, Sarah Skowronski and John
Panci, both MMAP Counselors. They spoke
on the newly installed Medicare Prescription
Programs available for Senior Citizens.
They both gave an informative and
lengthy update on some of the other avail-
able programs offered. Prescription Drugs
are just some of the programs offered by the
OCCOA. If you are unsure on which of the
health programs are right for you, you can
make an appointment at the OCCOA and
they will be more than happy to help in any
way then can.

ally trained staff. The new

easy coordination with other
sites for services not offered
locally. The Cancer &
Infusion Center will manage
everything from diagnosis to
follow-up care in a central-
ized, local setting, allowing
for minimal travel time in
order for patients to conserve
their energy and focus solely
on the healing process.
Infusions and injections are
given in a specially designed
healing environment, with
every infusion chair having a
view of the healing garden.
The Cancer & Infusion
Center is open 5 days a week.

Readers love the fact that the

Careers in manufacturing

dent video contest available
to all high school students in

nities for rewarding careers
in the manufacturing indus-
try. The student teams with
the top videos will win cash
prizes for their schools and
gift cards for each team
member. The contest is
organized by the Education

dent teams will visit local

video highlighting career
opportunities in manufac-
turing. Students do not need
to be enrolled in a film or
visual media program in

GAYLORD - The comic thriller, adapted by
Kent R. Brown and inspired by Sir Arthur
Conan Doyles Novel The Hound of the
Baskervilles, is the basis for this years
Cathedral Players fall production.
When Sir Henry Baskerville seeks the help
of the famous Sherlock Holmes and John
Watson, he finds that they are on holiday.
Never fear for their plucky nieces Shirley
Holmes (Franchesca Beningo) and Jennie
Watson (Giorgi Nowicki) take on the diaboli-
cal case of The Hound of the Baskervilles.
They must navigate the treacherous murky
moor, outwit fiendish villains, and go head
to head with a demented animal to reveal
the truth and save Sir Henry. Match your
wits against the mystery of The Hound of
the Baskervilles.
The curtain goes up at 7:00 p.m. nightly,
Thursday, November 21st through Saturday

PETOSKEY - Local publisher and transla-
tor Joshua Snider announces the release of
his first book, An Outline for a Comparative
Grammar of Some Algonquian Languages;
Ojibway, Cree, Micmac, Natick
[Massachusett] and Blackfoot. The book is a
translation of a comparative grammar of five
Algonquian Native American languages by C.
C. Uhlenbeck, first published in Dutch in
1910. Mr. Snider, who is fluent in German,
Dutch/Flemish and Swedish, has translated
this book into English for the first time. The
book has been expanded, corrected and
improved in the form of translators notes
based on more recent material.
Mr. Snider worked on the translation and
additions for several years and has recently
published the book through Mundart Press.
Copies of the book can be found at McLean
and Eakin Booksellers, Horizon Books,
Indian Hills Gallery, The Sign of the Loon,
the Petoskey District Library and North
Central Michigan College Library.
North Centrals Library will host Snider on
Wednesday, November 20 for a presentation
and book signing. The presentation will
begin at noon and will cover the contents of
the book and some of the benefits and chal-
lenges of incorporating the comparative
method into language learning. The book
signing will be from 1 p.m. until 3:30
p.m. Refreshments will be provided.
Snider is a Petoskey native and grew up in
a multicultural household with his
Mennonite grandparents, parents and
Misanabee Cree half-sister. Over the years,
he has watched his Native American friends
and family, which include Native Americans,
struggle to hold on to their ancestral lan-
guages. He has studied second languages
intensively since the age of 14 and the
Germanic languages since the age of 16. He
created the publishing company Mundart
Press to produce language learning materials
for marginalized and endangered languages.
He is currently working on English transla-
tions of works by the Yiddish author Itzik
Kipnis. Snider lives in Petoskey with his wife,
Sarah and son Declan. For more informa-
tion, please email Mr. Snider at mundart-
press@yahoo.com.

Its a clean machine, chimes Paul
McCartney in the classic Beatles tune;
Penny Lane. For Gaylord area residents
and visitors looking for the ultimate self-
service or automatic wash facility for
cleaning their machine, the path leads
down M-32 west, at the corner of
McVannel, to the location of JnJ Alpine
Auto Wash.
Area builder, Jim Jeffers, and his wife,
Jennifer, purchased the facility in July of
2009 and made several upgrades to the
establishment, including adding doors
to the self-serve and automatic bays, to
make the task of washing vehicles dur-
ing cold weather months more comfort-
able.
We work very hard to ensure the
facility is clean inside and out, states
Jeffers. We are also committed to
attentive customer service. Our on-site
technician, Virgil Koronka, is there to
make sure the equipment is tuned up
and operating at optimum performance,
and personally helps customers if they
have a concern.
JnJ Alpine Auto Wash has two fully
automatic bays and four self-service
bays. Vacuums, carpet shampooers and
even interior fragrance products are also
on hand to add those final finishing
touches to their customers vehicles.
The self-service bays have extra-height
doors so they are able to accommodate
vehicles that may not fit into other car
wash locations.
All of the water we use is fresh, notes
Jeffers. The soap tech who services our
location commented that we have one
of the cleanest water supplies in his
northern Michigan coverage area. What
that means for our customers is they
wont end up with water spots on their
newly cleaned vehicle.
During the year, Jeffers estimates the
location serves and average of approxi-
mately 100 vehicles a day, with peak
season being in March and April when
each the automatic bays alone can serve
up to 200 vehicles a day.
JnJ Alpine Auto Wash offers specials
for returning customers, such as
Commercial Fleet Account discounts
and VIP Coupons; which gives the hold-
er a free wash after five regularly priced
washes. They are also active in commu-
nity fundraising for non-profit organiza-
tions, and have a St Mary School
fundraiser on Wednesdays between 3
and 9 pm, with ten-percent of all car
wash proceeds during that period going
to the schools teacher fund.
We believe strongly in supporting our
local economy, states Jim Jeffers. We
understand it is very important to do
our part in helping to boost our local
economy.

LOCAL NEWS
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
economic impact of dining at a chain
restaurant.
The research firm Civic Economics
analyzed data from fifteen independent
retailers and seven independent restau-
rants, 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 national
restaurant chains (Darden, McDonalds,
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?
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 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.

The Alanson Village Council has adopted a
tobacco-free policy for its four parks.
According to Council clerk Iris Lesh, the new
policy supports the Council's belief that
tobacco use in park areas is detrimental to
the health of everyone using the park sys-
tem.
Our goal is to demonstrate to youth that
tobacco use is not a part of a healthy
lifestyle," Lesh said. "We believe that this
policy can play a part in reducing youth
tobacco use in our community, which will
eventually save lives." She added that par-
ents, officials and other community leaders
can serve as positive role models for youth
by choosing to live tobacco-free.
Susan Pulaski, Community Health
Coordinator for the Health Department of
Northwest Michigan, said she is thrilled to
see Alanson joining the ranks of communi-
ties and park systems that are formalizing
their commitment to healthy, tobacco-free
living for residents.
"By adopting this policy, Alanson is affirm-
ing that tobacco use and secondhand smoke
don't belong in park areas, where people go
to improve their fitness and enjoy nature,"
Pulaski said. She noted that Alanson's policy
will reinforce the recently-
adopted 24/7 tobacco-free
school policies, and con-
tribute to a tobacco-free
environment throughout the
community.
Pulaski added that the
Health Department is look-
ing forward to helping other
communities and organiza-
tions institute tobacco-free
policies throughout Antrim,
Charlevoix, Emmet and Otsego Counties. For
more information about tobacco-free parks
and beaches, contact Pulaski at (231) 347-
5813.
The Health Department of Northwest
Michigan is mandated by the Michigan
Public Health Code to promote wellness,
prevent disease, provide quality healthcare,
address health problems of vulnerable popu-
lations, and protect the environment for the
residents and visitors of Antrim, Charlevoix,
Emmet, and Otsego counties. For more

Each of us projects energy or vibrations,
through our thoughts and emotions.
According to The Law of Attraction, that
energy is the source of who we are, our sense
of well-being, and what we attract in our
lives. "Like attracts like." If your thinking is
negative, you will attract negative events. If
your thinking is positive, if you anticipate
that positive things are going to happen for
you, your vibrations will be positive and you
will attract positive things.
So, how do we shift our thinking to create
what we want instead of dwelling on what
we don't want? First, we need to start to
believe that how we think can make a differ-
ence in our lives. You already know that
thinking negative thoughts doesn't feel good.
Thinking positive, uplifting thoughts feels
better, even if your life situation is not exact-
ly what you want it to be. Your thinking
can get you closer to your goals.
According to the Law of Attraction,
you attract what you believe. There is
probably a constant stream of thoughts
in your mind. They can be negative
thoughts about yourself or your situa-
tion. Negative thoughts will bring about
more negative thoughts and lead to neg-
ative events. What you are thinking
becomes real. Ever notice how some
people just seem to be unlucky? One
bad event follows another in what seems
like a never-ending cycle.
We can also think positive thoughts.
Positive affirmations help us to do that.
A positive affirmation is a brief, positive
statement with the goal of countering
the negative thoughts. By overwhelming
our minds with repeated positive state-
ments, we can undo the negative thinking
that has pre-
vented us from
achieving our
desires.
Imagine what
you want to
bring into your
life. You list
might include
losing weight or
having loving
relationships.
An affirmation
would state that
desire in a posi-
tive way and in
present tense,
as though it has
already hap-
pened.
Something like, "I am a perfect weight for
my body" or "I have loving and harmonious
relationships." You have to be ready to
believe that these events could take place in
your life for the statements to work.
Create one or two statements for each of
your desires. Write them down and post the
statements in places where you will see them
regularly. Repeat the statements to yourself
at least ten times per day. To increase the
power of these statements, repeat them out
loud while looking in a mirror.
Affirmations are a way of reminding your-
self what you want in your life and changing
your energy or vibration to be open to those
events becoming reality. As you continue to
repeat the statements, your subconscious
will increasingly come to replace the nega-
tive thoughts with these positive thoughts
and the power of your mind will be open to
offer opportunities for you to achieve your
desires.
Submitted by Anastasia Bragg,
president of Teens for Life
The Gaylord Teens 4 Life are on a
mission to make a difference for life.
On Friday, November 8th, the Teens
took this mission to the New Life
Pregnancy Resource Center in Gaylord
as they donated $1,356.90 to New Life
to update their Earn While You Learn
program, a series of educational DVDs
and materials for young parents.
It was amazing to know that the
time we put into this project paid off in
a big way, and that we were able to be a
part of this program that makes such a
big difference in our community, said
Teens 4 Life member Rebecca Cooper,
referring to the work that New Life
does. The teens agreed that the hard
work of raising these funds was more
than rewarded with the knowledge that
they had made a valuable contribution
to New Lifes work.
The Teens raised the money through
their baby of the year contest which
took place last month, and made the
donation in honor of Levi Sefton, one
of the most inspiring babies in the con-
test, who recently passed away.
We are honored to be able to
memorialize Levi through this dona-
tion, said Teens 4 Life president
Anastasia Bragg, Levi was a beautiful
baby, and it seems fitting to celebrate
his life by helping other babies and
families with the money raised through
the contest.
The Teens 4 Life participate in a wide
variety of pro-life activities throughout
the year, including the upcoming Red-
Eye Bus Trip to the National March for
Life in Washington, DC on January 21st,
2014. Teens 4 Life always welcome
interested teens to come check out
their meetings. The next meeting will
be held Tuesday, December 3rd,
6:30pm at Calvary Baptist Church. For
more information about the Teens 4
Life contact Anastasia Bragg at baby-
oftheyear13@gmail.com.

Throughout your career, you have
been working hard to save in one or
more retirement accounts. Then, once
you retire, youll have some new deci-
sions to make. But one choice has
already been made for you: the age at
which you must start taking with-
drawals, or distributions. Its a good
idea to familiarize yourself with these
distribution rules because they can have
a big impact on your retirement income.
And you may even want to take action
before the end of the year.
Here, in a nutshell, is the story: Once
you reach age 70, you must begin tak-
ing taxable withdrawals known as
required minimum distributions, or
RMDS from your traditional IRA and
most other retirement plans, such as a
401(k) plan, a 403(b) plan or a 457(b)
plan. A Roth IRA, however, is not subject
to RMDs.
If you turned 70 in 2013, you may
want to take your first RMD no later
than Dec. 31. You could wait until April
1, 2014, to take your initial distribution,
but youd then have to take your next
one by Dec. 31, 2014 and two distri-
butions in one year could have a sizable
impact on your taxes. After youve taken
your first RMD, youll have to take one
by Dec.31 of each calendar year for the
rest of your life or until your account
balance is zero.
These minimum distributions are cal-
culated annually based on your age,
account balance at the end of the previ-
ous year, marital status and spouse's
age. If you do not meet the annual min-
imum distribution, you may be subject
to a 50% penalty on your underpay-
ment, plus ordinary income tax as the
funds are with-
drawn.
Of course, while
you have to take at
least the mini-
mum distribution
from your retire-
ment plans, you
can always take
more but
should you?
Theres no one
right answer for
e v e r y o n e .
Obviously, if you
need the money,
you may have to
go beyond the
minimum when
taking distribu-
tions. But if you
have enough
income from
other sources
such as invest-
ments in other
accounts, Social
Security and even
earnings from a
part-time job
you may want to stick with the mini-
mum distributions and leave your
retirement accounts as intact as possi-
ble for as long as possible, thereby
allowing them to potentially continue
growing on a tax-deferred basis.
Whatever your decision, youll want
to allow sufficient time to determine the
size and timing of your RMDs, because
if you have several retirement accounts,
you may need to make some choices.
For example, if you have more than one
IRA, you can add the RMDS and take the
combined distribution amount from
any one or more of your IRAs. And
if you have more than one 401(k), you
must calculate your RMDs separately
for each plan. To help ensure youre
doing things by the book, consult with
your tax and financial advisors before
you start taking your RMDs.
You work hard to build your retire-
ment plans. So, when its time to start
tapping into them, youll want to make
the right moves.

Commercials I hateThe Alarm Company
Man and wife just laid down in bed. They hear a noise; hubby asks wifey if she wants him to check it outduh! He opens bedroom
door just as bad guy kicks in front door. Hubby slams door shut and tells wife someones trying to break in.
Another variation of the same commercial has bad guy breaking in as mom hurries kids to safety while dad is asking her whats
going on.
Of course if youve seen these commercials you know what happens. The alarm goes off and in three seconds or less a strong, virile
handsome telephone operator calls and asks the woman of the house if everythings ok. Then he sends the police. Of course the bad
guy ran away as soon as the good old alarm went off.
Why do I hate this commercial? Cause it aint real life! First of all bad guys dont always run away at a loud siren. If a guy is desper-
ate enough to kick in your front door in the middle of the night chances are hes not thinking rationally enough to worry about alarms.
No matter how fast the studly telephone operator is on the speed dial the cops wont get there in time.
And the big question is why isnt dad there to meet the bad guy with his roscoe? You knowhis pistol, revolver, shotgun, missle
launcher or whatever! If youre a pacifist dont get mad at me. (Remember youre a pacifist!) Pacifists only survive if someone else is
willing to protect their right to be a pacifist.
Actually what makes me really mad about this commercial is that its closer to the current condition than not especially when it
comes to fathers and husbands spiritually protecting their families. The church has too many men who:
Just arent there. They sleep right through the enemys attack on their families.
Depend on their wives to handle the spiritual issues.
Depend on the alarm (a.k.a. the pastor) to let them know when the devils coming and scare him away for them.
Talk about what will happen to that mean old devil if he ever comes calling to their house. In church they can prophesy all kinds of
stuff but havent had a godly word of direction for their children in years. In the company of the saints they can sing and pray but their
family only hears country music or rock n roll coming from the shower. His prayer life at home is nothing more than a shot in the
dark from a rusty revolver.
But thank God there are still men whose wives know that theyre married to a man of power and whose children know that Dad is a
rock that cannot be moved. Thank God there are still men in the church who have faced the devil and the devil came out the loser!
Theres a lot of noise and stuff out there that passes for spirituality. Noise and stuff is okay for some but thank God there are men
who are made of more than just noise and stuff.
Just too bad there arent more of them.
Lord, deliver us from spiritual pacifism. Help us to be the husbands we should be, the fathers we should be and men of God we
should be.

T H I S PA G E S P O N S O R E D B Y T H E F O L L O WI N G A R E A B U S I N E S S E S
By Charles Hall
Choosing glasses (even if you dont need
them, you can get them with clear glass) is
now all about style glasses can make you
look smart, funky, cool, elegant, retro, and
yes, even add that just a little bit nerdy
element. It all depends upon how daring
you are.
Remember when the entire American
attitude towards eyewear could be
summed up in the phrase men seldom
make passes at girls who wear glasses?
When the stock in trade of romantic
movies was the transformation of the
Plain Jane by dramatically taking down
her severe bun hair-do and removing her
glasses and, suddenly Ginger Rogers! Or,
for boys, that moment when you over-
heard the girls playing Mystery Date.
They were comparing you (and your
brown horn rims) unfavorably to
Poindexter, the nerd. Well, those days are,
thankfully, long over girls now have 24
different dates to choose from in
Mystery Date, and eyewear or the lack
of it is simply a fashion choice and, final-
ly, as Bill Gates well knows, nerds are way
cool.
The downside? Well, to ride the crest of
the trend, you need a wardrobe of eye-
wear, which may set you back a few bucks
for example, a years supply of Acuvue
disposable contacts can cost anywhere
from $100 to $175, while glasses can cost
in the thousands -- more than worth it in
terms of fashion impact and confidence in
any situation. It all begins with a trip to
the eye doctor, who not only can update
your prescription and tell you of any eye
problems you might have (and new ways
of fixing them) but recommend specific
types of eyewear which might be appro-
priate for you depending upon your
eyes, some types of contact lenses may
work better than others, not everyone can
wear the soft gel or disposable types due
to particular sensitivities or other condi-
tions. You should, however, consider con-
tacts as a fashion choice if youve ever
longed to have a different color eye
todays contact lenses come a wide variety
of colors designed to either look natural or
to be a bit startling in their intensity yes,
you now can have violet
eyes like Elizabeth Taylor
or two different colors like
David Bowie. You can even
buy special effects con-
tacts that let you have irises
with leopard spots or even
cats eyes and much, much
more.
Choosing glasses (even if
you dont need them, you
can get them with clear
glass) is now all about style
glasses can make you
look smart, funky, cool, ele-
gant, retro, and yes, even
add that just a little bit
nerdy element. It all
depends upon how daring
you are and how much you
want to emphasize your
eyewear choice, you can find rimless styles
that are practically invisible, try matching
frame shape and color to your face as
most eyewear experts suggest for a
round face try narrow, flat styles, for a long
thin face wider glasses may do the trick
but basically its really about what looks
good on you. For everyday wear, you
might want the lightest, most unobtrusive
glasses available and, while youre at it, get
a pair of prescription sunglasses to match
youll never regret it. Then, you might
want to get a pair of classic tortoiseshell
frames in a pleasing shape for when you
want to look particularly sharp in all sens-
es of the word at a business meeting or on
a date studies have shown that people
trust people with glasses and that final
gesture at the end of the commercial when
the spokesman removes his glasses and
speaks directly to you about curing your
sinus headache? Well, that can work in
real life as well try cultivating it as a ges-
ture when youre closing your next deal.
Some donts for glasses? If youre only
going to have one or two pairs, dont get
trapped into trendy colors or shapes, since
when these go out of style so do you
unless you want to waste your investment
(though some eyewear outlets may give
you something for your previously worn
frames.) Stick with classics like the
Aviator, the Wayfarer (those Ray Ban sun-
glasses that never go out of style) as well
as wire rims and half frames or if youre
really a connoisseur, check out the Italian
imports and antique frames you might
even be able to pull off pince-nez or a
lorgnette (glasses on a stick.)
