Ice never looked so nice. This
weekend, January 18th and 19th, pro-
fessional and amateur ice sculptors will
gather in Bay Harbor to compete in an
event sanctioned by the National Ice
Carving Association (NICA), crafting cre-
ations from blocks of ice are truly
astounding to behold. Bay Harbor is one
of 14 stops on the National Tour of
Champions sponsored by the NICA, and
the 2012 National Champion in the pro-
fessional division, Aaron Costic, will be
among the talent carvers at this years
event. The total purse for the 2013 event
will be $12,500 in cash prizes!
While the stunning art carvings are
reason enough to stop by and enjoy the
Bay Harbor Ice and Spice Festival, there
is much more to experience at the event
this Friday and Saturday. A schedule of
this weekends events will be:
Friday, January 18:
- Professional Carver Competition fea-
turing 10-block sculpture Main Street;
4pm 10pm
- Fire Performance Village Lawn

Established in 1989, the non-
profit Pregnancy Care Center of
Petoskey is an excellent resource
for expectant and new parents,
as well as testing for women to
find out if they have a bundle
of joy on the way. The Center
offers a wide array of free preg-
nancy support services, infor-
mation for parents to be and
new parents, and even provides
much needed baby care items
for those who are unable to pur-
chase them do to financial con-
straints.
Judy Hunt, who has served as
executive director for the Center
for the past nine years, states,
This center was established to
help young expectant mothers
receive services, information
and assistance in areas such
clothing, cribs, blankets, car
seats, strollers, maternity wear
and more. This is a free service.
We have a professional staff and
volunteers that offer pregnancy
counseling, and we have an
ultra sound for diagnosing a
viable intrauterine pregnancy.
The system is much more reli-
able than take home tests. For a
woman to actually see a picture
of her baby, that it is a real life,
has so much more meaning to
them.
Area residents will have a
wonderful opportunity to help
support the ongoing mission of
the Pregnancy Care Center at
the upcoming Sound Answers

Deb@WeeklyChoice.com
So, you made a resolution to lose weight.
Congratulations on making an important deci-
sion to improve your health. You are not alone
in this decision. Estimates are that more than
45 million Americans begin a diet every year,
and for good reasons. Overweight is linked to
numerous negative health outcomes.
Michigan has the fifth highest rate of obesity
in the United States with nearly one-third
(31.3%) of residents having a body mass index
(BMI) of 30% or greater. Adults of normal
weight have BMIs of 18.5 to 24.9 and a BMI of
25.0 to 29.9 is considered overweight. Attaining
and maintaining a healthy body weight is the
second best thing you can do to improve your
health outcomes. Smoking cessation is the
most important. A visit to your physician
before beginning your weight-loss program can
verify if you are medically ready to start losing
weight.
Now that you have made the decision, you will first want
to determine a healthy weight range, in consideration of
your gender, height, and age. Use the BMI estimator at the
CDC website to find your healthy weight range
(www.cdc.gov/healthyweight). Be realistic in setting your
goal. Knowing how much weight you need to lose to achieve
a healthy BMI, you might be tempted to find a "quick-fix" -
weight loss supplements (or surgery) or a fad diet.
Among the popular fad diets of 2012 were: Acai Berry Diet,
Cabbage Soup Diet and the Apple Cider Vinegar diet. Low
fat, low carb, high protein - how do you choose the best diet
for you? Simply put, restrictive diets don't work and fad
diets, which highly restrict the number of calories consumed
or the type of food you can eat, are not sustainable long-
term. You might lose weight quickly for a short time, but will
regain the weight and more when you stop following the
plan. About 95% of people who lost weight will regain it. If
you over-restrict your calorie intake, your body becomes
more efficient at using the fewer calories you provide, slow-
ing your metabolism and making it even harder to lose
weight the next time. The secret to long-term weight loss is:
consuming fewer calories than you need on most days.
It is an easy formula: calories out greater than calories in
to lose weight; calories out equal to calories in to maintain
weight. In order to lose one pound, you need to burn 3500
calories more than you consume. For long-term weight loss,
aim to lose not more than two pounds per week, on average.
A two-pound weight loss translates to a weekly calorie deficit
of 7000 calories. You can get an estimate of how many calo-
ries you need daily to maintain your weight considering your
gender, age and activity level at: www.healthyweightforum.
org/eng/calculators/calories-required/.
A rough estimate of how many daily calories you need is to
multiply your current weight by 14. A 150-pound person
would require approximately 2100 calories per day to main-
tain that weight (this assumes the person is sedentary more
than active and exercises moderately three to five times per
week). In order to lose one pound per week, they would
need to burn an extra 500 calories per day (3500/7) or reduce
their intake by 500 calories per day - or a combination of the
two. Eat less and move more and you will lose weight.
What does this mean on a daily basis? There are numer-
ous websites that are helpful in developing meal plans.
Contact me by e-mail for more information on these. The
main idea is to eat a balanced diet. We have all heard it
many times before. A balanced diet consists of protein, car-
bohydrates, fats, whole grains, and fruits and vegetables.
Aim to include each of these in your daily diet. Don't con-
sider certain foods "off limits." Allow yourself to eat your
favorite foods in moderation, just remember that the calories
count toward your daily goal and will slow your weight loss.
Eat regularly, at least three times a day, including break-
fast. Don't let too much time lapse between meals or you
are likely to overeat and make poor food choices at your next
meal. Planning your meals will help keep you on track.
Equally important for weight loss and maintaining a
healthy weight: Get moving. You don't need a gym member-
ship and you don't need hours of intense physical activity to
lose weight. Moderate activity for thirty minutes on most
days is enough for most people to achieve weight loss. That
could be as simple as a thirty- minute walk. You can split
that into two fifteen-minute daily walks if that works better
for your schedule.
Losing and maintaining a healthy weight is a long-term
prospect. There will be times in your weight-loss journey
that you become discouraged with the speed of your weight
loss and want to give up. Now, while your motivation is high,
write down your reasons for wanting to lose weight while
your motivation is high. Then, when you are considering
giving up on your goal, review your list. I offer personal exer-
cise and nutritional coaching at no cost. For more tips and
motivation, contact me by e-mail.

On Thursday, January 17 at 7:00pm the
Russian National Ballet will return to the
Opera House stage with a spectacular produc-
tion of one of the most loved ballets of all time:
SWAN LAKE. This will be the third and final
concert of the Concert Series.
Tchaikovskys Swan Lake was composed in
1875 as a commission by Vladimir Petrovich
Begichev, the intendant of the Russian
Imperial Theatres in Moscow. Like The
Nutcracker, Swan Lake was unsuccessful after
its first year of performance. Conductors,
dancers and audiences alike thought
Tchaikovsky's music was too complicated and
hard to dance too. The productions original
choreography by German ballet master, Julius
Reisinger, was uninspiring and unoriginal.
Much is unknown about the original produc-
tion of Swan Lake no notes, techniques or
instruction concerning the ballet was written
down. Only little can be found in letters and
memos. It wasnt until after Tchaikovskys
death that Swan Lake was revived. Much of the
Swan Lake we know of today was a revision by
the famous choreographers Petipa and Ivanov.
Swan Lake is known for its demanding tech-
nical skills all because of one extremely gifted
ballerina, Pierina Legnani. She performed with
such grace and discipline, the audience and
everyone else who saw her claimed she set the
bar. Every girl to dance the part of
Odette/Odile after her was compared to
Legnani's performance. Legnani performed 32
fouettes (a fast whipping turn on one foot) in a
row a move many ballerinas resent because
of its extreme difficulty. However, Swan Lake
remains a favorite for many girls because of its
extreme difficulty; technically and emotionally.
The prestige that comes with performing Swan
Lake flawlessly is invaluable.
The Russian National Ballet Theatre was
founded in Moscow during the transitional
period of Perestroika in the late 1980s, when
many of the great dancers and choreographers
of the Soviet Union's ballet institutions were
exercising their new-found creative freedom
by starting new, vibrant companies dedicated
not only to the timeless tradition of classical
Russian Ballet but to invigorate this tradition
as the Russians began to accept new develop-
ments in the dance from around the world.
The company, then titled the Soviet National
Ballet, was founded by and incorporated grad-
uates from the great Russian choreographic
schools of Moscow, St. Petersburg and Perm.
The principal dancers of the company came
from the upper ranks of the great ballet com-
panies and academies of Russia, and the com-
panies of Riga, Kiev and even Warsaw. Today,
the Russian National Ballet Theatre is its own
institution, with over 50 dancers of singular
instruction and vast experience, many of
whom have been with the company since its
inception.
Tickets are available by calling The Opera
House Box Office at 231-627-5841 or 1-899-
357-9408. This program is sponsored by: Mick
and Wendy Caulkins, Continental Inn, First

Cooper Insurance, Durocher Marine Division

Financial Group/Ohio National, Wheeler

With two new exhibits opening in
a matter of days, the winter 2013
docent training is scheduled at
Crooked Tree Arts Center for January
21st, from 1:00p -3:00p. Nocturne
and the 32nd Annual Juried
Photography exhibits will be on dis-
play in the galleries January 19th
through April 5th.
Crooked Tree Arts Centers all-vol-
unteer docent program is a great
asset to the Arts Center and the
community. Our docents are won-
derful, and a docent tour is great
way to hear more about the amazing
exhibits in the galleries. School
tours are followed with a hands-on
art and learning project that they
can take with them as a physical
memory of their time on tour. Area
schools and organizations can book
a docent tour our website at
www.crookedtree.org. Typically
tours are scheduled from 9:30 to
11:00 am Monday through Friday,
shared Valerie St.Pierre Smith, pro-
gram director at the Arts Center.
The docents love what they do, and
we love what they do! It is a kick to
learn so much more about the
exhibit through our training pro-
gram, and then share that with
patrons of all ages. Teaching, learn-
ing and seeing someone have an
ah-ha! moment are some of the
best parts of being a docent.
Docent training is held twice a
year, typically mid to late January
and September, based upon the
exhibition schedule. The docent
program is lead by volunteer chair
Kathy Snyder, and supported by
both the visual arts curator and pro-
gram director for the Arts Center.
After attending the two hour train-
ing, new docents have the option of
leading a tour individually or shad-
owing an experienced docent until
they feel ready to lead on their own.
It is a very rewarding way to vol-
unteer, St. Pierre Smith said.
Anyone interested in joining the
Crooked Tree Arts Docent program
is invited to come at 1:00 pm to the
Edith Gilbert Gallery for training and
to meet other docents. Questions
can be directed to chairwoman
Kathy Snyder at
k_a_s47@yahoo.com, or calling the
Art Center at 231.347.4337. Those
interested in scheduling a docent
tour may do so through the online
request at
https://www.crookedtree.org/edu-
cators/docent-tours.

The calls are steadily coming in to the
Otsego Conservation District (OCD) offices.
When does the new recycling system go
into effect? After a close vote in November
it is good to hear that there is a buzz in the
air from people interested in utilizing the
new program.
The new recycling system will include five
drop-off locations placed strategically across
the county. Of these drop-off locations (ten-
tatively scheduled to be open 24/7), three
out of the five have been confirmed. These
include the IGA Store in Waters, the village
property near the Vanderbilt Village Hall, and
the Dover/Charlton/Chester Transfer Station
near Johannesburg.
Still in question as of press time are the
locations meant to service central Gaylord
and west Gaylord/Elmira, but there is some
talk that these may end up being located at
Meijer, the Consumers Energy location near
Meijer, or the Gaylord Cinema, as well as a
possible drop-off site in front of the old
Carters plaza where the Lions Clubs news-
paper trailer is currently stationed. Further
details will be released soon.
While Otsego County Administrator, John
Burt, has been working tirelessly on securing
drop-off sites as well as recycling processors
and haulers, the OCD has been getting its
ducks in a row, too. Their job once the drop-
off locations are operating is to ensure that
the sites remain cleanly and that recycling
bins are picked up when full by the recycling
hauler. In addition, the OCD will be ramping
up its recycling education programs to make
sure the residents of Otsego County know
how to use the new recycling system once it
is in place.
With a staff of two plus a Huron Pines
AmeriCorps Member, the OCD realizes it will
need some assistance. For this, they are
turning to citizen volunteers willing to call
the OCD if they notice issues at the drop-off
sites or if they see that bins are reaching the
point of needing to be emptied.
The OCD is also seeking out individuals
that may be willing to go above and beyond
and dedicate some of their time educating
others on proper recycling etiquette on-site,
especially during the first couple weeks
while people get used to the new recycling
program.
To get back to the question proposed,
When does the new recycling system go
into effect? The best answer at the moment
is early spring. But as soon as we know
more, we promise you will be able to read
the news right here.
For information about recycling in Otsego
County, or to volunteer to help out as the
new recycling system is put into place, con-
tact Justin Burchett by calling (989) 732-4021
or emailing jburchett@otsegocountymi.gov.

learn about the forest in the

ging museum, where partici-
pants will have a chance to
warm up with a cup of hot
cider around the elevated fire
pit at the logging museum, &
hear stories about the shan-

Investors sometimes may get frustrat-
ed with their investments because those
investments don't seem to produce
quick results. And perhaps that's under-
standable in our fast-paced society, in
which we've grown accustomed to
instant gratification. But investing is, by
nature, a long-term activity. If you look
at it in terms of an athletic event, it's not
a sprint, in which you must pull out all
the stops to quickly get where you're
going. Instead, it's more like the 26.2-
mile race known as a marathon.
And as an investor, you can learn a
few things from marathoners, such as:
Preparation No one gets up one
day and is ready to run a marathon.
Marathon runners train for months, and
even years. As an investor, you, too,
need to prepare yourself for the long
run. How? By learning as much as you
can about different asset classes, types
of risk and all the other factors associat-
ed with investing.
Patience Marathoners know they
have a long haul in front of them, so
they typically create a game plan
one that takes into account such factors
as their physical condition, the weather
on race day, and the characteristics of
the course, such as whether its hilly or
flat. Investors should also create a strat-
egy one that encompasses their goals
and ways of working toward them
and stick to this strategy.
Perseverance Marathoners may
deal with injuries, dehydration and
other setbacks, either while training or
during the actual race. But as long as
theyre able to keep going, they do so. As
an investor, you, too, will face obstacles,
such as market downturns. But as long
as you continue investing and dont
head to the sidelines, you have a good
chance of making progress toward your
goals.
Vision -- Marathoners study the
course they're on, so they know whats
ahead and where they're going. As an
investor, you also need a vision of what
lies in front of you the number of
years until your retirement, the type of
retirement lifestyle you anticipate, what
sort of legacy you plan to leave, and so
on. Your vision will help drive your
investment decisions.
Proper coaching Not all
marathoners have individual coaches,
but many have at least gone to clinics or
joined running clubs so they could learn
more about the various aspects of this
grueling event. And an investor, you can
certainly benefit from guidance or
coaching in the form of a financial
professional someone who knows
your individual needs, goals and risk
tolerance and who has the experience to
make recommendations that are appro-
priate for your situation.
Every
marathoner is
familiar with the
difficulties of the
challenge and the
satisfaction of fin-
ishing the race. As
an investor, you
also will be tested
many times.
F u r t h e r mo r e ,
youll never really
cross the finish
line because
youll always have
goals toward
which youll be
working. Yet, by
emulating the
traits of successful
marathoners, you
can continue
working toward
your objectives
and perhaps youll
avoid the blisters,
too.

All kids are terrific and here at North Ohio Elementary and St. Mary 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 recog-
nized 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 announce-
ments. 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 important as good grades!

Area shoppers will find great values and a
bit of everything among the huge variety of
resale items at Seconds on Center, located,
appropriately, on North Center Avenue in
Gaylord. The clean, well-organized shop is a
wonder to browse, featuring all kinds of
inventory that includes clothing, toys, sport-
ing goods, tools, furniture, appliances, house-
hold knickknacks, jewelry, entertainment
equipment and more, as well as several vin-
tage treasures such as rare Edison record
cylinders and other antiques.
Owner, Paul Andreski of Vanderbilt opened
Seconds on Center this past November, hav-
ing previously operated the Roll N Go tobac-
co shop at the location. In fact, the store still
offers a selection of tobacco supplies, though
the real treat is perusing the wonderful, value
priced resale goods throughout the 1,500
square foot facility.
People comment that they like the cleanli-
ness of our shop, relates Andreski, and that
it isnt crowded so everything is easy to see.
We have a little bit of everything here, and we
try to go to auctions and storage unit sales
around the state on a weekly basis when pos-
sible, so the inventory is always changing. We
research the items we find to make sure they
are priced fairly.
Andreski co-owns Seconds on Center with
his mother, Sue, and Pat Compeau is the
assistant manager at the store. The shop, located at 501 N.
Center Avenue in Gaylord, is open Mondays through Fridays
from 9 am until 5 pm, and from 9 am to 4 pm on Saturdays.
We encourage people to stop in and check us out, states
Andreski. You never know what you are going to find at
Seconds on Center!

The 2013 observance of National Sanctity
of Life Day will be this Sunday, January 20th,
and the 40th annual March for Life, hosted by
the March for Life Education and Defense
Fund, will be next Friday, January 25th. The
commemoration of this event began in early
January of 1984, with a proclamation by then
President Ronald Regan designating the first
National Sanctity of Human Life Day as
January 22nd of that year. The date was not
selected at random; rather, it marked the
11th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme
Court case at that time.
Reagan issued the proclamation each year
of his presidency, designating Sanctity of
Human Life Day to be the third Sunday in
January. President George H. W. Bush, con-
tinued the annual proclamation throughout
his presidency as well. After the practice was
discontinued during President Bill Clintons
administration, George W. Bush, resumed the
proclamation, and did so every year of his
presidency.
In observance of Sanctity of Life Day, hun-
dreds of thousands participate in a march
and rally held in Washington D.C. to protest
the Roe v. Wade decision. The 2013 occasion
of this March for Life will be held on January
25th. Over the years, the number of partici-
pants in this march has grown dramatically,
rising from approximately 20,000 marchers
in 1974 to over 200,000 today.
The March for Life organization has created
several Life Principles in support of their
position as a Pro-life movement. These Life
Principles serve as the basis for pro-life moral
and legal theory by which the American peo-
ple can overturn Roe v.Wade.
Those Life Principals are:
- We hold these truths to be self-evident:
That all human beings are created equal and
are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable rights, among which is the right
to life, and Therefore
- The right to life of each human being shall
be preserved and protected by every human
being in the society and by the society as a
whole, and
- The life of each human being shall be pre-
served and protected from that human
being's biological beginning when the
Father's sperm fertilizes the Mother's ovum,
and

Care Center Continued...
Charity Ball, to be held at Staffords Perry
Hotel in Petoskey on January 25th. Doors to
this elegant event will open at 7:30 pm, and
attendees will enjoy delicious hors doeu-
vres, a fabulous silent auction, and can
dance the night away to the sounds of an 11-
piece orchestra. Best of all, 75-percent of
the ticket price ($150 per person or $250 per
couple) will go to support the ministry of the
Pregnancy Care Center and their sound
answers ultra sound program. Tickets can
be purchased online at www.soundanswers-
ball.com.
Anyone who loves ballroom dancing will
absolutely love this event, notes Judy Hunt.
We are handing out bulletins about the
event at several local churches, and people
can also call us for more information.
Pregnancy Care Center also offers parent-
ing classes for new parents, and are in the
process of expanding the
educational services they
offer.
Judy explains, We are put-
ting together new parenting
and educational programs that are shorter in
length and to the point. Our current classes
span 6 weeks, but we are looking at offering
one-day classes and are putting together a
team to develop those at this time. They
should be available within 30 days or so.
The Center also invites people to call them
with ideas they may have for classes and
activities. Judy notes that one idea they are
working on is a fatherhood class, and anoth-
er is creating an activity night based on the
game CASHFLOW, created by Robert
Kiyosaki, author of the top-selling financial
education book; Rich Dad Poor Dad.
Mr. Kiyosaki created this fantastic game
to teach people about money skills, states
Judy. It is a very fun, fascinating and chal-
lenging game. If there is interest among the
public they should call us as we would like to
put together a game night.
The Pregnancy Care Center of Petoskey is
located at 2206 Mitchell Park Drive, Unit #9,
and is open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays
from 10 am to 4 pm, and Wednesdays from
noon to 6 pm. For additional information
about Pregnancy Care Center, the upcoming
Sound Answers Ball, or to suggest program
ideas, call (231) 348-3388 or visit www.freep-
regnancytest.net.
The Petoskey Regional Chamber of
Commerce group, Connecting Women
in Business (CWIB), is hosting an edu-
cational and networking luncheon on
Tuesday, January 22 at Staffords Perry
Hotel. The event is open to Chamber
members and the public. The theme for
the luncheon is The Importance of
Online Monitoring for Business
Success, and the featured presenter is
Marcie Wolf of Common Angle.
Monitoring social media sites and
taking an active role in dialogue is an
important part of your company's
social media effort, says Wolf. Even if
your business is not using social media
like Facebook or Twitter, you have to be
aware of what is being said online
when it comes to your brand.
This educational presentation will
cover the importance of monitoring
what is being shared across various
social media channels and which tools
can help you take an active role in
monitoring what is being said about
your company. The presenter, Marcie
Wolf, has over 18 years of experience in
web design, website development,
graphic design, search engine opti-
mization, and online marketing.
Common Angle offers complete man-
aged IT services and web development
solutions.
Advanced registration is required by
Friday, January 18th. Cost is $15 for
members and $20 for non-members.
Low-income Michigan wage earners
may be eligible for an Earned Income
Tax Credit (EITC) of up to $5,891. DHS
and United Way have part-
nered with Michigan 2-1-1 to provide
information and referrals to free tax
preparation sites throughout Michigan.
The Earned Income Tax Credit can
make a substantial difference in the
lives of our neighbors. Each year, many
of these funds go unclaimed;
once claimed, EITC funds
can be used for utilities, car
repairs, preventing eviction
or foreclosure, building sav-
ings and assets, and so much
more.
2-1-1 is the free, easy-to-
remember number to call for
health and human services
information and referral. 2-
1-1 is available 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week and 365
days per year with trained
staff.
Individuals seeking EITC
and income tax preparation
should be directed to call 2-
1-1 in areas served by 2-1-1
(including Otsego County).
Michigan 2-1-1 Call
Centers have up-to-date
databases with thousands of
health and human services
that may be very useful to
the individual and families in
need of support.
If youd like a 2-1-1 poster
to hang in your place of
business, contact United
Way at 989-732-8929 or

Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.
FRIDAY: Romans 8:15-17 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 15
For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to
fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as
sons by which we cry out, Abba! Father! 16 The Spirit
Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of
God, 17 and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fel-
low heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that
we may also be glorified with Him.
SATURDAY: Psalm 127:4 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 4
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children
of ones youth.
SUNDAY: Ecclesiastes 8:15 New English Translation (NET) 15 So I
recommend the enjoyment of life, for there is nothing bet-
ter on earth for a person to do except to eat, drink, and
enjoy life. So joy will accompany him in his toil during the
days of his life which God gives him on earth.
MONDAY: John 11:25-26 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 25
Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life; he
who believes in Me will live even if he dies, 26 and every-

believe this?
TUESDAY: Romans 8:37-39 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer
through Him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that
neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor
things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor
height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be
able to separate us from the love of God, which is in
Christ Jesus our Lord.
WEDNESDAY: 1 Timothy 4:8 New American Standard Bible
(NASB) 8 for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but
godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise
for the present life and also for the life to come.

Jennifer Ross
Works with Sufficient Grace Ministries
hoster777@live.com
http://blog.sufficientgraceministries.org/category/walking-with-you/
I was asked this question, and immediately my heart began to race, my
eyes filled with tears and that little boy filled my thoughts. I have a story that
I share often with many people. My story has been in parts all over the
world. Let me introduce myself. My name is Jennifer Ross, I am 31 years old,
and I have five boys that I have carried within my womb and given birth too.
Sadly, one of the boys, the fourth to be exact, died within my arms after
being born too early. His name, Isaiah Christopher Ross. His life was taken,
so that I could continue living.
How did this happen?
August 3, 2008 was the start of a new journey in my life. From seven
weeks to nineteen and a half weeks of pregnancy, I had a huge blood clot
that was forming in my uterus. It was covering three fourths of my placenta.
I knew that there was a possibility that I would loose my child, but I guess I
still looked at myself in the world's view... "It won't happen to me."
Unfortunately, it did happen to me. On the 2nd. of August, I was rushed
to the hospital at 11:00 p.m. The blood clot had pulled away from the pla-
centa, causing a partial placental abruption, which started a bleed that
ended up becoming lethal. Not causing death to my son... but a fast
approaching death upon me. The next day, on the 3rd. of August, I will
NEVER forget. My doctor came into my room and sat at the end of my bed.
She said that I had a condition called Disseminated Intravascular
Coagulation (D.I.C.). She said that I not only needed to have multiple blood
transfusions, but that we needed to deliver the placenta, or I would be dead
within the next twenty four hours. After the delivery, I still only had a 30%
chance at survival. After receiving statistics as frightening and real as they
were... What was I supposed to do? I did all that I knew at that very
moment... what the doctor told me to do. I couldn't "pick" between my
three older boys that were at home at the time (they would be without a
mother), the little innocent boy that was dancing within my womb, or the
life of myself... which would also lead to the death of Isaiah as well. He was
not to be the "winner" in this circle. In the end, his life was taken, to save
mine, and to be completely honest, a HUGE/ENORMOUS piece of my heart
died the moment the nurse nodded her head to confirm that he was gone.
Never coming back.
Why have I chosen to share this with you?
I personally know what a "fetus" looks like. Can I just ask, "Why has soci-
ety give such a merciless name to the unborn? I held the tiny body of my 19
week 3 day old son, with oxygen depleting from his lungs, heart slowly beat-
ing to the last beats to be heard... EVER ... as he left my arms, to be delivered
into the arms of his heavenly Father. He was anything, but the faceless
name, "fetus." Isaiah had ten long fingers, ten cute little toes. Let me not for-
get to mention that each finger and toe had tiny nails too. He had two eyes,
outlined with eyelashes that were as beautiful as the wings of angels. A cute
button nose. Lips as red and soft as rose petals. Two ears, that heard the
whispers of his mommy's endless "I love you's." He was as "real" as they
come. A precious boy, fully developed.
In certain parts of our own country, abortions are allowed at all stages of
pregnancy. The "rules" of abortion state differently, but I personally know
someone who knows otherwise. Abortion procedures are being conducted
as you read this article. Little lives are being taken, because it has been
allowed. I wonder how many woman would reverse their view on abortion,
and choose life, if they were allowed to participate in an abortion. If they
viewed the horrific act of murder... of a child.
I did not have an abortion, but had to go through a induced labor to save
my life. My doctor did all she knew possible to safe a life... isn't that what we
are suppose to do?
My son will never laugh/cry, run, play with blocks and Lego's, ride a bike,
go to school, play on a playground, run his toes through hot sand on a
beach, watch fireworks, have a squirt gun fight with his brothers, play hide-
and-go-seek, skip rocks on the water, eat birthday cake, dress up for
Halloween, open a Christmas gift, make me ornaments for my Christmas
tree, make me a Mother's Day card, graduate, have a wife, have children --
he will never wrap his arms around my body -- I will never hear an "I love
you," spoken from his lips.
Every life that is taken, or shall I say murdered, is loosing out on a life-
time. A life that should only be taken by the God that knit them in the
womb. I only wish that I had had the chance, the choice, to save the life of
my son.
The next time you are asked "What is pro-life to you?" What will you
answer?
Thoughts on...How would you answer the following,
"What is pro-life to you?"
LOCAL NEWS
By Jim Akans
Set high upon the hills overlooking the
splendor of northern Michigans capti-
vating scenic woodlands, the staff at the
locally owned Marsh Ridge Resort,
located just south of Gaylord, has been
offering area residents and Northern
Michigan visitors the ultimate in golf,
lodging, dining, as well as facilities for
banquet and group meetings for over
five decades. Marsh Ridge offers guests
an above and beyond the ordinary expe-
rienceall year long.
We are one of the best values in
Northern Michigan, states Marsh Ridge
owner, Larry Bowden. We have earned
a solid reputation over the years for
offering world class golf, lodging and
dining right here in the heart of the
Gaylord Golf Mecca. What people may
not realize is that we also offer facilities
for weddings, reunions, anniversaries,
business and group meetings and more,
and can accommodate up to 125 peo-
ple. We can also cater those events, and
offer rooms for out of town guests.
During the winter season, Marsh
Ridge Resort offers snowmobile rentals,
allowing Northern Michigan residents a
chance to check out the vast network of
trails in the area, and providing an
opportunity for local residents to experi-
ence the adventure of snowmobiling
before taking the step of purchasing
their own machine.
Marsh Ridge Resort was originally
called Ken-Mar On The Hill, named
after founders Kenneth and Margaret
Atha. The resort first encompassed
forty-three acres and included three
lodges; a main lodge which is now the
beautifully renovated Scandinavian,
and two additional buildings which are
the current Fjord townhouse and the
Visby lodge.
Between 1954 and 1980, the resort had
four individual owners, underwent sev-
eral improvements and expanded to
encompass 137 acres. In 1980, a busi-
nessman from Troy, Michigan; Jim
Kohler, purchased the resort, renamed it
Norden Hem (Northern Home), added
several buildings and established the
current entrance off Old 27.
Jack Bott purchased the property in
1992, made extensive renovations
including the current restaurant, which
continues to bear his name; Jacs
Place. Larry Bowden, who has an
extensive background in development
and resort management in Northern
Michigan, including involvement in
such leading residential and time-share
communities as Guthrie Lakes,
Michaywe, Pinestead Reef in Traverse
City, Shanty Creek and Beaver Creek
Resort, bought the hotel properties in
2005, and the restaurant and golf course
in 2008.
Jacs Place restaurant at Marsh Ridge
Resort offers what has been hailed as
one the most incredibly delicious dining
experiences in Northern Michigan.
Larry Bowden credits the fantastic fare
offered at Jacs Place to the addition of
head chef, Steve Rich to his staff in 2010.
The restaurant offers daily specials, a
happy hour from 4 to 7 pm, a value
packed winter menu, and the facilities
famous pizza, which has been pro-
claimed as one of the best in the
northbringing diners back time and
time again.
A locally owned dining, golf and lodg-
ing experience that truly goes above and
beyond the ordinary, Marsh Ridge
Resort is a world-class treasure located
right here in beautiful ambience of
Northern Michigan. Be sure to visit
www.marshridge.com for the latest
updates for events at Marsh Ridge.

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

The only way to end poverty is to build community
Underneath everything we are, underneath everything we do, we are all people.
Connected, Interdependent, United.
And when we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all.
That's what it means to LIVE UNITED.

The recent deaths of four children in central
and southwest Michigan underscore the
importance of getting flu shots for the entire
family, according to Joshua Meyerson, M.D.,
Medical Director for the Health Department of
Northwest Michigan. To help meet community
demand, the Health Department has sched-
uled four additional immunization clinics: on
January 15th from 10am-7pm at its
Petoskey/Harbor Springs location, and on
January 18th from 8am-12pm at the
Mancelona Family Resource Center, 1pm-5pm
in Gaylord, and 8am-3pm in Charlevoix. Walk-
ins are welcome during these clinics, but
appointments can also be made for other dates
and times by calling (800) 432-4121.
Every child and adult
should receive the flu vaccine
as soon as possible,
Meyerson emphasizes. Those
who are not vaccinated are
risking their own health, and
the health of their families. By
carrying the illness, they pose
a threat to others especially
young children and the elderly
who are at much higher risk for life-threaten-
ing complications arising from the illness.
According to the Michigan Department of
Community Health, three of the four children
killed by the flu virus had not been vaccinated,
and the fourth had received the vaccine too
young. As of the end of December, statewide
hospitalization rates and emergency room vis-
its were reported to have increased significant-
ly.
Quite simply, influenza vaccinations are the
best protection, Meyerson added. If you cant
make it to one of the Health Departments
upcoming immunization clinics, talk to your
physician or visit a local pharmacy offering the
flu vaccine. Theres really no excuse not to get
vaccinated.
The Health Department offers appointments
for flu shots and many other immunizations at
its offices in Bellaire, Mancelona, Charlevoix,
Petoskey/Harbor Springs and Gaylord. The cost
for seasonal flu vaccination is $25. Medicaid
and Medicare are accepted, as well as private
insurance, or clients may pay by cash or check.
Call the Health Department at (800) 432-4121
to schedule an appointment.
The Health Department of Northwest
Michigan is mandated by the Michigan Public
Health Code to promote wellness, prevent dis-
ease, provide quality healthcare, address health
problems of vulnerable populations, and pro-
tect the environment for the residents and visi-
tors of Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet, and Otsego
counties.
Due to the tremendous public interest in obtaining flu shots
during the Health Department of Northwest Michigans
upcoming immunization
clinics, Health Department
officials strongly recommend
that those wanting to receive
flu shots and other vaccines
should schedule their
appointments in advance.
Pat Fralick, Director of
Family and Community
Health, said it is much easier
for Health Department staff
to provide excellent client
service when they have some
idea of how many people will
be coming in, and when.
Its important to let us
know if you and any family
members are planning to
come to one of our flu shot clinics, Fralick explained. We
dispatch nursing staff, vaccines and other resources based on
how many people we think we will need to serve on that day,
in that location. When appointments are scheduled in
advance, theres less waiting, and less risk of being turned
away if we run short on time or supplies.
Cost for flu vaccination is $25. Medicaid and Medicare are
accepted, as well as private insurance, or clients may pay by
cash or check. Call the Health Department at (800) 432-4121
to schedule an appointment. You can also visit
www.nwhealth.org or www.facebook.com/nwhealthdepart-
ment for details on flu clinics.

ed by the Michigan Public Health Code to promote wellness,

Due to high demand, appoint-

EMMET COUNTY All four public school districts in
Emmet County have now adopted 24/7 Tobacco-Free School
policies, according to Susan Pulaski, Community Health
Coordinator for the Health Department of Northwest
Michigan.
Pulaski, who coordinates the newly-formed Tobacco
Reduction Coalition of Antrim, Charlevoix, Otsego and
Emmet Counties, said the Alanson, Harbor Springs, Pellston
and Petoskey School Districts have instituted policies pro-
hibiting the use of tobacco products within any building,
within any vehicle or on any property that is owned, leased, or
operated by the school district. They apply to all employees,
students, contractors and visitors on the premises of the
school district, and are in effect at all times.
Policies that guarantee a healthy, tobacco-free environ-
ment demonstrate that being tobacco-free is a community
norm, Pulaski said. This reinforces what students are
already learning in school about tobacco use, and it supports
the students decision to avoid tobacco.
More than 600,000 U.S. middle school students, and more
than three million high school students, smoke cigarettes,
though the U.S. Surgeon Generals office reports that progress
is being made toward preventing tobacco use among youth.
Tobacco use is believed to be responsible for more than 1,200
deaths nationwide each day. For every death that occurs, at
least two school-age youth are taking up smoking, and nearly
90 percent of new smokers begin smoking before age 18.
We are thrilled that every public school in Emmet County
has now recognized the importance of instituting 24/7 tobac-
co-free policies, Pulaski added. Theyve demonstrated their
commitment to building healthier communities by putting
students health first.
The Health Department of Northwest Michigan is mandat-
ed by the Michigan Public Health Code to promote wellness,
prevent disease, provide quality healthcare, address health
problems of vulnerable populations, and protect the environ-
ment for the residents and visitors of Antrim, Charlevoix,
Emmet, and Otsego counties. For more information about the
Tobacco Reduction Coalition and 24/7 Tobacco-Free School
policies, contact Pulaski at (231) 347-5813. For free help in
quitting tobacco contact the Michigan Tobacco Quitline at
(800) 784-8669 or (800) QUIT-NOW.
