    It may be a bit premature, but the
    United Nations has decided to go
    ahead and designate this Halloween,
    October 31st, as 7 Billion Day, mark-
    ing a milestone event for the planet as
    the earths population creeps up to
    this incredible number. Its actually a
    bit difficult to get a specific count of
    the number of humans inhabiting the
    planet on any given day, and the U.S.
    Census Bureau suspects the 7 billion
    mark may not arrive until next March,
    but since were this close, why not cel-
    ebrate what some see as a scary glob-
    al development on Halloween?
    What we do know is where we have
    been. The first time a billion people
    planted their feet at one time on the
    earths surface was back in the 1800s,
    and we hit the 2 billion mark back in
    the 1920s. It only took about 50 years
    to double that number, and in 1987
    the U.N. designated July 11th as The
    Day of 5 Billion, an event that is now
    celebrated annually as World
    Population Day. The 6 billion mark
    was hit in October of 1999, resulting in
    the somewhat dubious achievement
    of having tripled the world population
    in just about 75 years.
    So is reaching the 7 billion-popula-
    tion level something to be scared
    about this Halloween?
    Well, that has a lot to do with supply
    and demand just how many people

    $200 from Lake Superior State University-Gaylord
    Regional Center.
    LSSU-Gaylord Director, Sheila Simpson, stated
    that the co-ed team members have raised the bar of
    interest in the sciences through their diligent, com-
    petitive work in creating problem solving solutions
    through robotics. Science, technology, engineer-
    ing and math (STEM) are an academic focus for
    LSSU, both on the main campus in Sault Ste Marie,
    and at our location at the University Center at
    Gaylord. It is thus very fitting that we lend our sup-
    port to this fine team which grooms students in
    these important STEM fields of study. We salute
    JLHS former faculty member Tony Fortin on his
    many years of initiative, commitment, leadership,
    and mentoring of the Army of Sum members. It is
    through such leadership that students discover
    their talents and interest in a wider arena.
    The Army of Sum, which took 4th place at the
    March 2011 competition in Traverse City and won
    the Gracious Professionalism award, has grown in
    membership and is currently recruiting new mem-
    bers to also start the First Lego League. The First
    Lego League is another exciting international com-
    petition that requires critical thinking and problem-
    solving skills for lego building challenges. Through
    team meetings and tournaments, members form
    lasting friendships with other state, national and
    international team members, and find the projects
    challenging, fun, and rewarding on both academic
    and personal levels.

    accomplishments, visit www.wix.com/armyofsum.

    membership, contact JLSH principal Rick Holt at

    On October 29 from 10 am to 2 pm the Otsego County
    Sheriff Department, Gaylord State Police Post, and the Drug
    Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public anoth-
    er opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their
    homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and
    unwanted prescription drugs. Bring your medications for dis-
    posal to the Otsego County Sheriff Department at 124 S.
    Otsego, Gaylord MI. The service is free and anonymous, no
    questions asked.
    Last April, Americans turned in 376,593 pounds188
    tonsof prescription drugs at nearly 5,400 sites operated by
    the DEA and more than 3,000 state and local law enforcement
    partners.
    This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public
    health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are
    highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of
    prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are
    the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to
    these drugs.
    Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs
    are obtained from family and friends, including from the
    home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now
    advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused
    medicinesflushing them down the toilet or throwing them
    in the trashboth pose potential safety and health hazards.
    Four days after the first Take-Back event in September 2010,
    Congress passed the Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal
    Act of 2010, which amends the Controlled Substances Act to
    allow an ultimate user of controlled substance medications
    to dispose of them by delivering them to entities authorized
    by the Attorney General to accept them. The Act also allows
    the Attorney General to authorize long term care facilities to
    dispose of their residents controlled substances in certain
    instances. DEA has begun drafting regulations to implement
    the Act, a process that can take as long as 24 months.
    Until new regulations are in place, local law enforcement
    agencies like Otsego County Sheriff Department, Gaylord
    State Police Post, and the DEA will continue to hold prescrip-
    tion drug take-back events every few months. For additional
    information, visit www.drugfreenorthernmicbigan.com or

    Mother Earth can sustain with sufficient and
    adequate quality of air, food and water. It is a
    concept known as carrying capacity, and not
    surprisingly, there is plenty of disagreement
    about the tipping point in the scientific
    community, ranging from around 2 billion
    people (oh.oh) to well over 40 billion.
    A key to our survival thus far seems to lie in
    our ability to advance our technology along
    with those population numbers. A hunter-
    gatherer based society has been estimated to
    reach earths carrying capacity with as few as
    100 million people. By learning to produce
    our own food, that number has obviously
    gone up drastically.
    Some basic necessities of life, however,
    such as water and land, are resources that an
    escalating population cant seem to help but
    deplete faster and faster. The United Nations
    Environmental Program estimates that in just
    a decade or so nearly two-thirds of the worlds
    population will be living in countries facing
    water scarcity or stress. Increasing rates of
    topsoil loss and continuing global warming
    trends, as well as shortages of food and ener-
    gy sources, are actions that are going hand in
    hand with increasing population numbers.
    And it looks like those numbers will be
    growing faster in the coming decades. The
    U.N. projects the world population will hit
    the 8 billion mark by 2025, and 15 billion by
    the start of the 22nd Century (or two neigh-
    bors for every one you see now).
    But a more populous future isnt necessari-
    ly all gloom and doom. In a recent segment
    on the CBS Television news magazine,
    Sunday Morning, Professor of Public Policy
    at George Mason University observed that in
    many areas, such as Lifespan and Literacy
    rates, humans are making great strides.
    On a global scale, todays average lifespan is
    around 68 years, up from just 48 years back in
    1950. Global communications, such as via
    the Internet, allows these older, wiser and
    more numerous souls to talk to one anoth-
    er as never before, sharing ideas about cre-
    ative subject like how to carve a pumpkin, to
    complex theories such as how to feed more
    people with less land, or creating energy
    without damaging our habitat.
    Something a growing population will
    require without a doubt; trick or treaters
    will be goblin more candy this year, and
    next year, and the next.
    Have a Happy 7 Billion Day this October
    31st.
    By Jim Akans
    Halloween is one of the most enjoy-
    able annual celebrations for kids of all
    ages. Its the biggest costume party of
    the year, an opportunity to greet those
    smiling faces of neighborhood children
    at the front door, and of course, nary a
    sweet tooth goes unsatisfied. A happy
    Halloween is a safe Halloween, so here
    are a few tips to help ensure this
    October 31st is the best Halloween
    ever.
    The American Academy of Pediatrics
    (AAP) points out that costumes should
    be bright and reflective. Make sure that
    shoes fit well and that costumes are
    short enough to prevent tripping,
    entanglement or contact with flame
    (though costumes should be non-flam-
    mable).
    Consider adding reflective tape or
    striping to costumes and trick-or-treat
    bags for greater visibility. Glow Sticks,
    Glow Stick bracelets and small flash-
    lights are accessories that also help
    raise a childs visibility in the dark.
    Because masks can limit or block eye-
    sight, consider non-toxic makeup and
    decorative hats as safer alternatives.
    Hats should fit properly to prevent
    them from sliding over eyes.
    If a sword, cane, or stick is a part of
    your child's costume, make sure it is
    not sharp or too long. Teach children
    how to call 9-1-1 (or their local emer-
    gency number) if they have an emer-
    gency or become lost.
    The AAP also notes that to keep
    homes safe for visiting trick-or-
    treaters, residents should remove from
    the porch and front yard anything a
    child could trip over such as garden
    hoses, toys, bikes and lawn decora-
    tions. They should also check outdoor
    lights and replace burned-out bulbs,
    wet leaves should be swept from side-
    walks and steps, and please restrain
    pets so they do not inadvertently jump
    on or bite a trick-or-treater.
    A few AAP tips for making the neigh-
    borhood rounds on Halloween
    evening;
    - A parent or responsible adult
    should always accompany young chil-
    dren while trick-or-treating.
    - If your older children are going
    alone, plan and review the route that is
    acceptable to you. Agree on a specific
    time when they should return home.
    - Only go to homes with a porch light
    on and never enter a home or car for a
    treat.
    Because pedestrian injuries are the
    most common injuries to children on
    Halloween, remind trick-or treaters to:
    - Stay in a group and communicate
    where they will be going.
    - Carry a cell phone for quick com-
    munication.
    - Remain on well-lit streets and
    always use the sidewalk.
    - If no sidewalk is available, walk at
    the far edge of the roadway facing traf-
    fic.
    - Never cut across yards or use alleys.
    - Only cross the street as a group in
    established crosswalks (as recognized
    by local custom). Never cross between
    parked cars or out driveways.
    - Don't assume the right of way.
    Motorists may have trouble spotting
    trick-or-treaters. Just because one car
    stops, doesn't mean others will!
    - Law enforcement authorities
    should be notified immediately of any
    suspicious or unlawful activity
    Of course, Halloween means lots and
    lots of candy and treats. A good meal
    prior to parties and trick-or-treating
    will discourage youngsters from filling
    up on Halloween treats. Also;
    - Consider purchasing non-food
    treats for those who visit your home,
    such as coloring books or pens and
    pencils.
    -Wait until children are home to sort
    and check treats.
    - Though tampering is rare, a respon-
    sible adult should closely examine all
    treats and throw away any spoiled,
    unwrapped or suspicious items.
    - The Centers for Disease Control
    and Prevention (CDC) recommends
    eating only factory-wrapped treats.
    Avoid eating homemade treats unless
    you know the cook well.
    Its also a very good idea to ration
    treats for the days following Halloween.
    Lets see; three for the trick-or-treater,
    one for me
    Have a safe Halloween adventure!
    Toy Challenge Continued...
    7 Billion Day continued...
    Trick or Treat continued...
    the Community Giving Program. Originally
    established as Take Time to Care in 1988,
    the program gathers new toys and donations
    to purchase new toys and clothing for Otsego
    County area children whose families may be
    struggling to make ends meet during this hol-
    iday season. Toys, clothing and other dona-
    tions also come through the annual Toys for
    Tots drive, the Gaylord Area Schools Wish
    Trees and through Angel Tags on trees from
    area churches.
    Rosie Warner, Chairperson of the
    Community Giving Program Committee and
    area Toys for Tots Coordinator, states, It is
    important for people to realize that there are
    no administrative costs in this program. This
    is a complete volunteer effort. Every penny
    that they give goes to purchase clothing or
    toys, and stays right here in Otsego County.
    For the Flavors of Christmas Toy Challenge,
    area businesses and organizations collect
    toys from staff, guests, customers, clients,
    friends and neighbors and these are placed
    on display during the evening event.
    Whoever collects the most toys for the event
    will earn the prestigious Toy Trophy for the
    year, and their name will join the names of
    the past Toy Challenge winners on the Trophy.
    In addition to helping many area children
    enjoy a blissful holiday season, Flavors of
    Christmas is also a wonderful way to sample
    appetizers and desserts prepared and served
    by many of the finest food establishments in
    Otsego County. For a minimum suggested
    donation of just $10 per person, attendees
    can enjoy these tastes of the season through-
    out the evening, bid on items at the silent
    auction table, and listen to live music per-
    formed by Jim Akans (Ive heard of that guy),
    the Sweet Adelines and Taylor Rabineau.
    As of press time, area food establishments
    participating in the Flavors of Christmas

    Get your gear on at Pineview
    Military Surplus in Frederic
    By Jim Akans
    Built to perform, built to last. It is a quality
    inherent in the equipment designed and
    manufactured for military use. Thanks to the
    folks at Pineview Military Surplus in Frederic,
    these high quality items are also available for
    campers, hunters, hikers, outdoor enthusi-
    asts, and those who simply enjoy well-craft-
    ed, durable goods.
    Pineview Military Surplus current owners,
    Dan and Christine Klatt, purchased the busi-
    ness back in 1997, after it had already been in
    operation for about 17 years. The approxi-
    mately 2,000 square foot facility located in
    Frederic on Old U.S. 27 North is an amazing
    wonderland for those interested in just about
    any type of military surplus item. The shop
    even includes a fascinating military museum,
    with collections starting from the
    Revolutionary War era through the current
    conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan
    Christine Klatt states, While the items in
    our museum area are not for sale, they are
    amazing to see. What we do offer in our store
    is all the Government Issue military surplus
    items that we can find, some authentic new
    items, and even some vintage items. Our
    inventory comes from government auctions,
    from people who have retired from the mili-
    tary, and we also buy new items from the
    same manufacturers that supply the govern-
    ment with equipment.
    Highlights of those offerings included
    clothing and outerwear of just about every
    type; rain gear, head gear, boots, hats, hel-
    mets, even womens, childrens and infant
    clothing.
    They also stock camping gear, web gear,
    backpacks, carry bags, and chemical protec-
    tion suits (a great alternative to scent lock
    suits for hunters). Among the souvenir items
    in the shop are military insignia and ribbons,
    medals, hatpins, patches, decals, window
    stickersthe list of items goes on and on.
    The best way to see what is available is to
    stop by and take a look! Pineview Military
    Surplus is located at 7328 Old US 27 North in
    Frederic. They are open seven days a week
    from 9 am to 7:30 pm, though they are closed
    on Mondays during the winter starting in
    December. Check them out on Facebook at
    Pineview Military Surplus, or call (989) 348-
    8300.

    On Tuesday, October 11, a luncheon honor-
    ing local volunteers was held at Sommerset
    Pointe Yacht Club on the shores of Lake
    Charlevoix in Advance. The luncheon was
    hosted by the Retired & Senior Volunteer
    Program (RSVP) of Charlevoix and Emmet
    Counties (a program of Friendship Centers of
    Emmet CountyCouncil on Aging). RSVP
    received financial assistance from a number
    of local businesses and partner agencies,
    including event sponsor Airway Oxygen; and
    table sponsors Mallard Cove, Challenge
    Mountain Recreation Area, Little Traverse
    Conservancy, Northwest Michigan Habitat
    for Humanity and Char-Em United Way.
    Other organizations that benefit from the
    service of RSVP volunteers also gave financial
    gifts in support of the luncheon.
    The value of volunteers was celebrated
    through the theme for this years event:
    Volunteers are worth their weight in gold!
    The organizations volunteers, who collective-
    ly served over 38,000 hours in fiscal year 2011,
    donated the equivalent of $747,000, but their
    value to the agencies and organizations they
    serve is priceless.
    Two volunteers were recognized for out-
    standing service. Ardith Hawley of Boyne City
    is known as Grandma among the kids and
    staff at Challenge Mountain, where she helps
    out challenged kids at ski outings, summer
    campouts and special events. Ardith also vol-
    unteers her time at Challenge Mountain
    Resale in Boyne City. Marlene Bartson of
    Harbor Springs received the award for Emmet
    County, where she is always willing to step in
    to help with tasks at a number of different
    organizations. Marlene also serves as a mem-
    ber of the Friendship Centers Chorus, and
    travels weekly to nursing homes and senior
    residences to brighten the lives of others
    through music.
    This year Grandvue Medical Care Facility of
    East Jordan received RSVPs Supporting our
    Success award, for welcoming and training
    RSVP volunteers. Volunteers are essential to
    the programming that makes Grandvue an
    award-winning health care facility.
    RSVP of Charlevoix and Emmet Counties is
    our areas largest senior service program, with
    over 260 active volunteers who serve 100
    partner agencies (nonprofits, schools and
    healthcare organizations) throughout the
    two-county area. The organizations mission
    is to recruit, train and mobilize an effective
    force of volunteers, aged 55 and over, who are
    willing to contribute their skills and life expe-
    riences to serve nonprofit organizations in
    Charlevoix and Emmet counties, with the
    goal of strengthening their communities. For
    information about serving through RSVP,
    please contact Sue Ann Bouwense, Project
    Director, at (231) 347-3211 or (888) 347-0369,

    Marlene Bartson of Harbor Springs shares her thoughts on volunteering after
    receiving the Emmet County Spirit of Service Award. Bartson volunteers as a
    member of the Friendship Centers Chorus, and graciously donates her time to a
    number of local non-profits.

    Songs, dance and laughter fill
    Gornick Auditorium during GHS
    Talent Show 2011
    Above: It was a full house at Gornick Auditorium last Tuesday evening, October 18th, with student, teachers
    and parents gathering to watch fourteen Gaylord High School student and group performances ranging from
    solo vocalists, bands, acapella groups, dance, and even some comedic skits between acts during the 2011
    Talent Show.
    Right: While the decision was surely a close one, Alyssa Pickards outstanding vocal performance of Put Your
    Records On mesmerized the crowd and earned Ms. Pickard first place in the Talent Show competition this
    year. Second place went to Megan Carlson (who danced to the tune Roxie), and third place to Kayenne
    Baurs vocal performance of the classic; I Will Always Love You.

    The tantalizing aromas meandering
    throughout Mancinos Pizza & Grinders dur-
    ing the early morning hours are simply
    incredible. Thats because the dine-in/take-
    out eatery, with locations in Gaylord, Alpena
    and Petoskey, begins each day making the
    breads for their famous grinders and crust for
    their delicious pizzas from scratch, using a
    secret recipe that bring customers back time
    and time again to enjoy that magical home-
    made texture and flavor.
    In addition to homemade breads, our
    grinders and pizzas include the best quality
    Hormel brand meats, states Jane Ludlow
    Towne, CEO of the establishments parent
    company; Ludlow Enterprises. We slice
    fresh vegetables daily, and always provide
    generous portions of meats and cheeses in
    our salads, pastas, pizzas, and grinders.
    A quick scan of a Mancinos beverage cup
    reveals that the term Grinder originated on
    the East Coast where Italian immigrants
    established sandwich shops during WWI.
    They prepared super-sized baked sandwiches
    stuffed with meats, cheeses, lettuce and
    tomatoes. These were a big hit among ship
    workers, who were known as grinders
    because they ground rivets on the warships.
    Mancinos carries on that the tradition of
    offering grinders that will satisfy the heartiest
    of appetites, at an exceptionally affordable
    value,
    We always have daily specials and fea-
    tures, notes Towne, and because Mancinos
    is not a traditional franchise, we are able to
    create menu offerings that fit what our cus-
    tomers want. I like to say that quality and
    value truly meet here at Mancinos.
    Towne is well seasoned in the northern
    Michigan restaurant industry. Her father
    established Luds Hamburgers in Alpena back
    in 1964, and the family went on to build and
    operate the Big Boy restaurants in Alpena,
    Gaylord, Cheboygan and Petoskey.
    I have been working in the restaurant
    business since I was a teenager, recalls
    Towne. We sold all of our Big Boy operations
    except the one in Alpena about five years ago.
    We opened our first Mancinos in Alpena in
    1996, and our Gaylord and Petoskey locations
    a few years later.
    Jane became interested in operating a
    Mancinos after being introduced to the
    eatery by her daughter, Annette (Roznowski)
    Kowatch. She was attending college in the
    Lansing area at the time and took her mom
    out to eat.
    We loved the food, Towne recalls, and
    after some research, we began the process of
    opening Mancinos locations here in northern
    Michigan.
    After gaining years of experience growing
    up in a restaurant family, Annette Kowatch
    now oversees the Gaylord Mancinos location,
    and also runs a part time interior design serv-
    ice and assists at JLK Engineering, a Gaylord-
    based firm founded by her husband, Justin
    Kowatch.
    Sally Stefanko, who has seven years of
    restaurant experience, manages the Gaylord
    Mancinos location. She notes, We have a
    fantastic team here at Mancinos. I especially
    enjoy serving our customers; that is the best
    part of my job.
    Mancinos is very active in supporting com-
    munity organizations and events, a tradition
    that began back in the 1960s when the Luds
    Foodwagon provide sandwiches and bever-
    ages for many of the original Alpenfest cele-
    brations. Today, Mancinos sponsors several
    carwash events, high-energy celebrity serv-
    ing events, and the establishments coupon
    books and gift cards make great promotional
    items for community group fundraisers.
    Above all, it is the mouth-watering, heart-
    warming aromas of the made from scratch
    pizzas, grinders, salads and pasta dishes at
    Mancinos that bring customers back over
    and over again.
    We see a lot of repeat customers, Annette
    Kowatch observes. That includes families
    who may have designated that special night
    out during the week, seniors who come in
    before taking in an afternoon movie, or busi-
    ness people who stop by regularly for lunch.
    We also make deliveries to area businesses for
    special occasions or for just a great lunch
    alternative.
    People truly enjoy the quality of our food,
    adds Jane Ludlow Towne. We also offer very
    good value. Though we do have a $5.99 pizza
    like our competitors, we dont make our piz-
    zas ahead of time. Like each of our menu
    items, we want to ensure that every product
    we serve to our customers is freshly made.
    Whether someone is dining in or calling for a
    delivery, our team takes pride in doing their
    best job possible providing fast, friendly serv-
    ice to every customer.
    Mancinos Pizza & Grinders has a new web-
    site; www.mancinosnorth.com, where cus-
    tomers can sign up to receive emails featur-
    ing coupons and special offers. The eatery is

    Mancinos locations in Gaylord, Alpena and Petoskey, begin each day making the breads for their famous grinders and crust
    for their delicious pizzas from scratch, using a secret recipe that bring customers back time and time again.
    The food is always fresh and inviting at Mancinos, such as their $5,99 medium
    pizza made to order with one topping of choice made, and a new menu item; cin-
    namon sticks. Picture are (from left), Jane Ludlow Towne, CEO of the establish-

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

    If you have kids or even if you dont
    youre probably aware that
    Halloween is fast approaching. Of
    course, you may find the ghouls, witch-
    es and creepy impersonations of
    celebrities to be more amusing than
    alarming, but, as you go through life,
    you will find some things that are gener-
    ally frightening such as investment
    moves that are misdirected or go awry.
    Here are some potentially scary
    investment moves to avoid:
    * Investing too aggressively In the
    investment world, heres one of the fun-
    damental truths: The greater the risk,
    the greater the potential reward. So, by
    investing aggressively, you can poten-
    tially achieve greater returns. But if you
    invest too aggressively, you can, quite
    simply, get burned and lose your princi-
    pal
    * Investing too conservatively You
    cant invest with no risk. However, you
    can find investments that offer a higher
    preservation of principal in exchange
    for little or no growth potential. But if
    your portfolio is full of these vehicles,
    you may never achieve the growth you
    need to reach your long-term goals.
    * Failing to diversify If your portfo-
    lio mostly consists of the same type of
    investment, and a downturn hurts that
    particular class of assets, youll take a
    big hit. But by spreading your dollars
    among an array of investments you can
    reduce the effects of volatility on your
    overall holdings. Keep in mind, though,
    that diversification cant guarantee a
    profit or protect against loss.
    * Chasing hot investments By the
    time you hear about a hot investment,
    it will probably already be cooling off.
    And whether its hot or not, it might not
    be appropriate for your individual
    needs and risk tolerance.
    * Trading too frequently If youre
    constantly buying and selling invest-
    ments to maximize your profits, you
    may end up actually minimizing your
    success. Frequent trading will run up
    commissions and other investment
    costs and the greater your expenses,
    the lower your real rate of return. Plus,
    by always adding and subtracting
    investments to your portfolio, youll find
    it difficult to follow the type of long-
    term, consistent, comprehensive strate-
    gy thats necessary to help you attain
    your objectives, such as saving for
    retirement.
    * Starting too late As an investor,
    youll find that time is one of your great-
    est allies. The earlier you start saving
    and investing for your goals, the better
    your chances of attaining them. Save
    early and save often may sound like a
    clich, but its good advice.
    * Taking a time out from investing
    Whether its a market slump, a political
    trauma, a natural disaster or some other
    event, you can
    always find a rea-
    son to head to the
    investment side-
    lines for a while
    until things cool
    off, straighten out
    or return to what
    seems like nor-
    mal. Depending
    on your goals, not
    participating in the
    market may cause
    you to miss out on
    any opportunities
    that the market can
    present. At times, it
    can be tough to
    stay invested, but
    over the long run, a
    steady, disciplined
    approach can be a
    good strategy.
    H a l l o w e e n
    comes and goes in
    a single day. But by
    steering clear of
    these menacing
    investment moves,
    you can help take
    some of the fear out of investing and
    make it a more productive experience.

    After years of waiting, Escanaba in da
    Moonlight will finally be making its pre-
    miere in Gaylord. Jeff Daniels famous play
    about hunting escapades of a northern
    Michigan family will come to the Michaywe
    stage this January. In a community where
    there are so many hunters and great hunt-
    ing stories, this show will give many people
    who never would have thought about com-
    ing to a play something to talk about
    according to Director Chuck Bump. We
    are planning to run the show two weekends
    in anticipation of a great audience
    response.
    The production is being financed by
    Gaylord Community Productions, the first
    of many such ventures according to GCP
    Vice President Charlie Bono. We are excit-
    ed to support local talent and such a fine
    production team. This is the first of many
    joint ventures GCP hopes to sponsor to
    enhance entertainment options in
    Gaylord.
    Bump is looking for some actors who can
    bring some personality to the stage. There
    are some great roles for men between 30
    and 60 years old, and one womans part
    according to Chuck. We welcome anyone
    who is interested, whether they have acting
    experience or not. Wed especially like some
    hunters to audition. We even scheduled the
    audition dates before hunting season so
    they wont miss opening day.
    Auditions for Escanaba in da Moonlight
    will take place November 8th and 10th at
    7:30pm at the Michaywe clubhouse. So
    while you are out setting up your deer blind
    and remembering your classic hunting sto-
    ries, think about trying out for Escanaba
    and sharing the hunting spirit on stage. If
    you have any questions please feel free to
    call Chuck Bump at 989-732-3617.

    Petoskey The VitalCare Adult Day Center
    has moved to the former Benjamin B. Blum
    Hospitality House located at 525 West
    Mitchell Street in Petoskey.
    VitalCare, an affiliate of Northern Michigan
    Regional Health System, occupied the build-
    ing in July. In addition to housing the Adult

    quarters of the VitalCare nursing office.
    VitalCare is northern Michigans largest
    home healthcare provider. In addition to pro-
    viding services to patients and their families
    in northern lower Michigan and the eastern
    part of the Upper Peninsula, VitalCare oper-
    ates four home medical equipment stores,
    and provides Hospice care, both in-home and
    at the VitalCare Hospice House in Cheboygan
    and at the VitalCare Hiland Cottage in
    Petoskey. VitalCare is Medicare certified, Blue
    Cross-approved, and CHAP-accredited.
    The VitalCare Adult Day Center provides a
    safe and engaging environment for loved
    ones who require supervision during the day.
    Clients can enjoy conversation, participate in
    art projects, play cards, solve puzzles, read,
    exercise, or enjoy individual quiet time, all
    while under the supervision of compassion-
    ate caregivers. Formerly located in the
    Lockwood-MacDonald building, the Centers
    new location will provide an opportunity to
    serve more clients. To learn more about the
    Adult Day Center, please call 231.348.0771.

    Free Student Heart Screening
    Q: I've just learned that my 12-
    year-old daughter has experi-
    enced sex with a classmate. We're
    both hurt by this. Three years ago
    her dad and I went through a
    divorce. Then he remarried and
    moved 18 hours away. All of this
    was pretty devastating to our
    daughter and I don't know what
    to do now.
    Juli: My heart goes out to you and
    your daughter. Your heart as a mom
    must be broken as you think of her puri-
    ty taken away at such a young age!
    At 12, your daughter is just beginning
    the emotional challenges of adoles-
    cence. She's in the midst of trying to fig-
    ure out who she is and what she
    believes. Losing her virginity at this age
    can be even more devastating if she
    begins building the foundation of her
    identity upon this one mistake. For this
    reason, you need to work hard to com-
    bat the messages she may believe about
    herself -- "I'm unworthy; I'm bad," etc.
    It's also important that you reaffirm
    how much you love and value her. In the
    midst of spending time together, you'll
    need to have some difficult conversa-
    tions about what she's feeling and the
    choices she has made. Because these
    topics are so sensitive, reading a book or
    watching a movie together that raises
    some of these issues can be a good way
    to open up the conversation.
    Also, find a counselor, pastor or men-
    tor who can help your daughter work
    through the painful rejection she proba-
    bly feels from her dad's absence.
    Research overwhelmingly indicates that
    girls whose parents have gone through a
    divorce are far more likely to get
    involved sexually at an early age. It's
    very possible that your daughter's sexu-
    al activity is an attempt to replace the
    affection she once received from her
    dad.
    Finally, don't neglect your own feel-
    ings in all of this. You need to be emo-
    tionally available for your daughter.
    That's tough when you're in the middle
    of your own grief process. Connect with
    a good friend or counselor who can be a
    support for you as you support your
    daughter.
    ** ** **
    Q: Our 22-year-old daughter is
    pregnant and living at home. She's
    currently working and attending
    college. She and the father are "in
    love" but don't feel ready to
    marry. She doesn't feel like she
    should marry just because she is
    pregnant. What advice can you
    give me about helping her?
    Jim: First, I would praise her for
    choosing to have the baby. Abortion is
    often presented as a "solution" for
    unmarried mothers, but it only results
    in more pain for everyone involved. She
    needs your unwavering support and
    affirmation as she prepares to welcome
    this precious new life into the world.
    That said, she can't stay with you for-
    ever. It's good that she's got a job and is
    attending college, although those things
    will need to be set aside, at least tem-
    porarily, after the baby arrives. Even
    though it's not an ideal situation, you
    and your husband (and the baby's
    father) need to be prepared to help her
    financially during this period.
    And speaking of the father, I hope that
    he and your daughter will, sooner rather
    than later, consider getting married --
    assuming he would be a good husband.
    They may not feel "ready," but if they're
    truly committed to one another, getting
    married and creating a stable home will
    be in the best interests of both them and
    their child. Don't pressure them into it,
    though -- it's a decision they'll need to
    reach on their own. Pray that
    the impending birth of their
    baby will help move them in
    that direction!

    Petoskey Northern Michigan Regional
    Hospital and Michigan Heart & Vascular
    Specialists of Petoskey are sponsoring a free
    student heart screening for both athletes and
    non-athletes in grades 9 12.
    Too often, heart abnormalities in teens and
    young adults go undetected. Over the past
    eight years, more than 29 young people in
    Michigan have lost their lives to an exertion-
    related disease of the heart muscle called
    hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Most did not
    know they were even at risk.
    Through this free heart screening, structur-
    al abnormalities and arrhythmias can be
    detected and necessary treatment to correct
    or control the condition can be initiated.
    The free screening will take place from 3:30
    7:30pm on Thursday, November 10 at the
    John and Marnie Demmer Wellness Pavilion
    and Dialysis Center located at 820 Arlington
    Avenue in Petoskey.
    The screening, which will take approxi-
    mately one hour, includes:
    Medical history
    Blood pressure check
    Electrocardiogram (EKG)
    Physician consultation
    Echocardiogram (ECHO) if required
    Registration is required. To register or to

    Its almost time for the 26th Annual Otsego Ski Patrol
    Ski Swap to be held at the Otsego Club Special Events
    Center in Gaylord on Saturday, November 5th. That
    means its also time to start digging through the garage,
    basement or storage barn to gather up those gently
    used skis, boots, binding, snowboards, cross country
    outfits, hockey gear, snowshoes and winter clothing,
    that just dont seem to be used on the slopes anymore,
    and get them ready to sell at the Ski Swap event.
    The drop off times for those items will be next
    Friday, November 4th from 5pm 9pm at the Otsego
    Club Special Events Center. Both ski patrollers and
    local volunteers will be on hand to inspect items for
    safety concerns, recommend pricing, or answer ques-
    tions.
    The 25-year-old longer straight skis with Cubco
    bindings in your garage are not what we are looking
    for advises Don Desautels, Otsego Ski Patrol member,
    adding, they and most non-shaped skis have long
    been outdated by technology and are unsafe. They do,
    however, look great over the fireplace.
    If your equipment is questionable, the volunteers
    will help you during drop off.
    If your kids are outgrowing their equipment the
    swap is an ideal way to raise funds for their winter
    sports activity and reinvest for the winter seasons
    ahead, says Desautels.
    It all adds up to a win-win for families who want to
    introduce skiing and Northern Michigan winters
    sports to their children and benefits the local Treetops
    and Otsego ski patrols who keep a portion of the sales
    proceeds for safety and first aid supplies on the slopes.
    Those bringing in gear for sale set price for their own
    items and keep 83% of every sales dollar when the item
    is sold.
    For those selling gear at the Ski Swap event, note that
    unsold items must be picked up Sunday, November
    6th between 10 am and 1 pm. Equipment not picked
    up will be immediately donated to local charities.
    Checks minus commission are mailed to participants
    selling gear.
    For further information about the 26th Annual Ski
    Patrol Ski Swap, contact Don Desautels at 231-534-

    Crooked Tree Arts Center presents
    comedians Tim Bedore and David Dyer
    Its time to start digging through the garage, basement or storage barn to
    gather up those gently used skis, boots, binding, snowboards, cross
    country outfits, hockey gear, snowshoes and winter clothing, that you
    arent using on the slopes anymore, and get them ready to sell at the
    upcoming Annual Ski Swap event on November 5th.
    The Crooked Tree Arts Center is proud to present comedi-
    ans Tim Bedore and David Dyer on stage on Saturday,
    November 5 at 8:00 pm. Bedore and Dyer are frequent guests
    on The Bob and Tom Show, the nationally syndicated radio
    show. www.bobandtom.com
    We promised to bring a variety of performers this season
    and we hope to see lots of new faces at this comedy night
    remarked Liz Ahrens, Executive Director, Crooked Tree Arts
    Center. If we get a good response, we hope to book more
    comedians in the future continued Ahrens.
    Tim Bedore: Over the past 20 years Tim Bedore has spent
    thousands of hours entertaining audiences, first on the radio
    and then as a comedian, headlining comedy clubs across the
    country. One of the few young comics to have combined the
    disciplines of stand-up comedy and broadcasting, Tim knows
    the rigors of working within demanding parameters.
    Tim has kept his hand in the radio business through his
    radio commentary feature, Vague But True, which is heard
    (since 1997) regularly on public radio's prestigious
    Marketplace program by over six-million people. Tim has
    written and recorded over two hundred-fifty installments of
    Vague But True. Producing these weekly commentaries for the
    radio keeps Tim's stand-up comedy material fresh and topi-
    cal.
    Unlike many comedians whose material is only appropriate
    for night-clubs, Tim has been able to work very successfully in
    many different situations, including charity and corporate
    events as an entertainer and host. Tim Bedore is a stand-up
    comedian whose unique background has produced a very
    professional entertainer who knows how to cut across the
    boundaries of individual attitudes and get an audience to
    enjoy his way of looking at the world. To read more visit
    www.vaguebuttrue.com
    David Dyer: After high school, David went to Michigan State
    University where he found a home in the Theatre
    Department. Growing up, David was exposed to and greatly
    influenced by the comedy of Monty Pythons Flying Circus,
    Bill Cosby, George Carlin, and Steve Martin. David Dyer has
    been doing stand-up for over sixteen years. Hes worked with
    some of the best performers in the industry including Drew
    Carey, Lewis Black, and Kathleen Madigan, just to name a few.
    Hes appeared on the nationally syndicated Bob and Tom
    Show as well as their telecast on WGN America. Hes a con-
    tributing writer to NBCs Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and
    hes also contributed to ABCs Politically Incorrect and The
    Zany Report on The Bob and Tom Show. He performed sev-
    eral recurring characters on The Kevin Matthews Morning
    Show on 97 WLAV FM in Grand Rapids, MI. In the past, he
    won The Grand Rapids Magazine Comedy Joke Off; a compe-
    tition that put him up against the best comedic talent in the
    State of Michigan. Davids interesting and sometimes twisted
    take on lifes quirky little situations means that hes doing a lot
    of the same crappy material a million other guys are
    doing.he just does it differently..better..quirkier. To

    TERRIFIC KIDS

    ing us with this endeavor. Students who exhibit good behavior by following our school rules will be recognized by staff for doing so. One student per class will be selected to
    receive a Terrific Kid award, button, and pencil. The student names will be announced on our morning announcements. They will also have their picture taken to hang on
    our Terrific Kid bulletin board. This is an excellent opportunity for staff, students, parents and the community to connect on a social/emotional level because good character
    is just as important as good grades!

    Thoughts on...What is All Saints Day??
    Daily Word
    THURSDAY: Psalm 34:9 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 9 O fear the LORD, you His saints; For to
    those who fear Him there is no want.
    FRIDAY: Matthew 27:52-53 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 52 The tombs were opened, and many bod-
    ies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the tombs after His resurrec-
    tion they entered the holy city and appeared to many.
    SATURDAY: Romans 8:26-28 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 26 In the same way the Spirit also helps
    our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us
    with groanings too deep for words; 27 and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the
    Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know that God
    causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to
    His purpose.
    SUNDAY: 1 Corinthians 1:2 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 2 To the church of God which is at Corinth,
    to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on
    the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:
    MONDAY: 1 Corinthians 6 1 Does any one of you, when he has a case against his neighbor, dare to go to
    law before the unrighteous and not before the saints? 2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge
    the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts?
    3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?
    TUESDAY: 2 Corinthians 13:13 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 13 All the saints greet you.
    WEDNESDAY: Philemon 1:4-6 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 4 I thank my God always, making
    mention of you in my prayers, 5 because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have toward
    the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints; 6 and I pray that the fellowship of your faith may become
    effective through the knowledge of every good thing which is in you for Christs sake.
    All saints day is celebrated on the first Sunday in November. It is held not only to
    remember Saints (those who have died as Christians) but those who have died because of
    and for their stand of faith in difficult times.
    It began to be celebrated on this date way back in the seven hundreds A.D. For non-
    Christians it would be similar to celebrating Veterans Day in our secular culture.
    Christians have been honoring their saints and martyrs since at least the second century
    A.D. Many Christian festivals were placed at the same times as ancient pagan festivals to
    replace the worship of false gods. In ancient times there were many pagan celebrations at
    the end of Harvest time. It seems apparent that All Saints Day
    was partially placed at that time to take the place of some of those pagan celebrations.
    A few of the present celebrations of Halloween go back to those pagan celebrations. At its
    origin, all saints Day was prepared for on the evening before. Over the centuries the
    evening before became a festival in itself. Named all Hallows Eve, or Halloween. While
    many consider Halloween pagan, as far as the Church is concerned, the date is simply the
    eve of the feast of All Saints. Many customs of Halloween, that continue to this day, reflect
    the Christian belief that on the evening before All Saints Day we make fun of evil and
    Satan because as we exercise true Christian faith evil has no real power over us.
    Some of the things done on Halloween are far from Christian belief and practice and
    some people use the evening for evil purposes. As a parent, I have been very careful in
    how involved my children became in the evening before All Saints Day. Many a parent
    has had to deal with the results of a bad experience that their child had on Halloween.
    Things like nightmares, becoming afraid of the dark or the aftermath of being abused by
    older teenagers or adults.
    A good question to ask yourself is, Would God approve of what Im letting my child do
    tonight? Instead you may want to make the evening a fun family night and carefully
    decide what you and your family participate in. Many churches and communities host
    harvest partys, etc, which tend to keep the Devil out of the evening.
    A day to celebrate all the
    past saints.

    By Nicholas Webb
    There are several factors can lead to
    depression after heart attack. The stress of
    being in the hospital, the fear of another heart
    attack, time away from work can all con-
    tribute to feeling depressed, helpless, down
    and despondent.
    Do many people suffer depression after
    heart attack?
    Not surprisingly, the answer to this ques-
    tion is yes. Recent studies show that as many
    as 65% of people who have a heart attack
    report feeling depressed, down and despon-
    dent; a general state of despair. Moreover,
    women, people who have been depressed
    before, and people who feel alone and with-
    out social or emotional support are at a high-
    er risk for feeling depressed after a heart
    attack. Two new Canadian studies have
    shown that More than twice as many women
    than men tend to fall into chronic depression
    after suffering a heart attack and are more
    likely to lead lives of poorer quality following
    their treatments.
    Being depressed can also make it harder for
    you to recover. However,
    depression can be treated.
    Being told by doctors that
    you should take up exercise,
    adopt a new diet, stop smok-
    ing, etc. etc. etc. can certainly
    make you feel helpless, in
    fact, you will probably have
    good days and bad days fol-
    lowing your release from hos-
    pital. However, most people
    start to feel better as time
    passes. People that are quickly able to get
    back to their usual routines normally notice a
    drop in anxiety faster than those that dont.
    So what exactly is depression?
    Depression, be it after a heart attack or not,
    is a medical illness, like diabetes or high
    blood pressure and not just somebody going
    crazy. This is important both for the sufferer
    and family members to understand. The
    symptoms of depression may include some
    or all of the following:
    Feeling sad or crying often
    Losing interest in daily activities that used
    to be fun
    Changes in appetite and weight
    Sleeping too much or having trouble sleep-
    ing
    Feeling agitated, cranky or sluggish
    Loss of energy
    Feeling very guilty or worthless
    Problems concentrating or making deci-
    sions
    Thoughts of death or suicide
    Can heart disease trigger depression or
    depression trigger heart disease?
    Either of the above may be true, one thing
    seems clear. The two are often found hand in
    hand, therefore controlling one may help
    control the other.
    According to The American Academy of
    Family Physicians research has shown that
    people who are depressed and have pre-exist-
    ing cardiovascular disease have a 3.5 times
    greater risk of dying of a heart attack than
    patients with heart disease who are not
    depressed. In a recent study, depression was
    shown to be associated with an increased risk
    of developing coronary heart disease in men
    and women. Depression was shown to
    increase mortality related to coronary heart
    disease in men but had no
    effect on mortality in
    women.
    How can the risk of relapse
    be avoided?
    The risk of relapses, be it of
    heart disease or depression,
    can be greatly reduced by liv-
    ing a healthy lifestyle, and
    your doctor will instruct you
    on this. However, some
    important lifestyle modifica-
    tions are avoiding alcohol, illegal drugs,
    smoking, start a regular exercise program,
    eating a balanced diet, manage stress, join a
    club, meet new people or take courses in
    things that interest you. Finally, try to get suf-
    ficient rest and sleep.

    Charlevoix - If you are among the 25
    million Americans that are overweight
    or obese, your risks for death and dis-
    ability are significantly higher. In addi-
    tion, you are most likely coping with
    ongoing pain, fatigue, difficulty moving,
    sleep deprivation, or other obstacles to
    a vibrant, healthy life. Each year that
    passes without taking charge of your
    health is an opportunity missed an
    opportunity to feel good, enjoy greater
    energy, and feel less stressed.
    Charlevoix Area Hospitals Fit-4-Life
    Program empowers you with all the
    tools needed to embrace wellness. Youll
    experience first hand the benefits of

    the program is $240.

    at Noon.

    cation. Our medical wellness experts

    By Jim Akans
    Situated in a beautifully renovated mid-20th century home
    just south of the center of the pleasant community of Mio,
    OBriens Restaurant offers an unexpected, and truly memo-
    rable, dining experience that is unique, elegant and most of
    all; delicious.
    Under the careful and expert guidance of Dan and Betty
    OBrien, who have over 40 years of experience in the restau-
    rant business that includes operating establishments in
    Breckenridge, Colorado and Key West, Florida, OBriens
    places their focus on ambience, service and high quality
    meals Dan prepares using only the finest of ingredients. The
    reasonably priced fare includes a wonderful range of beef,
    chicken, seafood dishes and more, plus a selection of house
    specialties that reflect the OBriens 20 years of service in Key
    Wests food service industry.
    This is truly a remarkable adventure in food, remarked my
    wife, Cindy, during our recent visit to OBriens. Each course
    is absolutely delicious, and leaves you eagerly anticipating the
    next.
    Another regular OBriens patron noted, Its like receiving a
    plain paper wrapped box in the mail, and upon opening, find-
    ing a glittering array of treasures within.
    The dining experience at OBriens opens with a basket of
    fresh homemade breads and an accompanying trio of butters;
    plain, cinnamon and garlic. Next up is a seven-item relish
    tray, with refreshing choices of carrots, coleslaw, cottage
    cheese, applesauce, black olives, hotty-totty pickle slices,
    and corn relish.
    For the main course, we split the prime rib (seasoned and
    slow roasted to perfection) and blackened Mahi-Mahi (the
    perfect light, yet firm and slightly spicy complement). Dont
    miss the opportunity to check out Dans Tasty Taters, a long-
    standing family recipe that will leave you searching your plate
    for one last bite.
    Save room for dessert, because OBriens Key Lime Pie is
    simply out of this world good. The secret recipe was report-
    edly passed to Dan from a friend down in Key West, and
    Northern Michigan diners are now the blessed benefactors of
    this exchange.
    OBriens Restaurant is truly a family owned and operated
    establishment, with Dan and Betty at the helm and their son
    and daughter, Vincent and Peggy, handling bartending and
    customer service roles respectively.
    The ambience is unique, elegant and comforting. The
    establishment is split into two interior dining areas plus a
    screened in outdoor Florida Room. The dcor is highly
    detailed with a variety of vintage china, stemware and
    accents, creating the perfect atmosphere for enjoying a fabu-
    lous and intimate dining experience.
    Drive a little and enjoy a lot is OBriens on-the-mark pro-
    motional slogan, and considering the journey through the
    gorgeous Northern Michigan
    countryside leading to Mio is a
    feast for the senses as well, I
    would highly suggest enjoying the
    wonderful drive, as well as the
    excellent adventure in food that
