Upper Peninsula based
singer/songwriter Bill Jamerson
will present an hour-long musi-
cal program about Michigan
lumberjack history on Thursday,
May 2nd at 6:30 pm at the
Otsego County Library. The pro-
gram is co-sponsored by the
Friends of the Library and the
Otsego County Historical
Society. The title of the pro-
gram, Its Daylight in the
Swamps, was a phrase shouted
by cooks at lumberjack camps
over a hundred years ago to
wake up the men in the morn-
ing. With guitar in hand,
Jamerson sings traditional lum-
berjack songs and tells stories
and tall tales about life in the
lumber camps. The program is
family friendly; children may be
invited to come on stage to win
prizes.
The lumberjacks were a color-
ful lot, mostly immigrants who
brought a zest for living and a
hunger for the American dream.
Most of them came to America
to become homesteaders. In
camp, lumberjacks entertained
themselves in the evening by
reading, sewing, playing card

The Otsego County Volunteer Centers
Celebration of Stars Spirit Awards event was
held this past Saturday evening, April 20th at
the Knights of Columbus Hall in Gaylord.
Approximately 100 attendees joined in the
recognition of local volunteers in six cate-
gories, enjoyed a wonderful meal prepared by
BJs Restaurant, and provided donations
through a delicious desert auction and a
silent auction to help continue the commu-
nity-oriented mission of the Volunteer Center
of Otsego County. Jennifer Russell, who over-
sees the Volunteer Center, emceed the cele-
bratory and community spirited event.
Recipient of the Youth Category Award,
sponsored by the Gaylord Rotary, was
Shannon Wiltse. Christy Payne, who nomi-
nated Shannon, said, Shannon first came to
Aspen Ridge with her class. She and her
seizure dog bonded so much with the resi-
dents that she asked if she could start coming
in on her own. Shannon is warm, friendly,
and just as comfortable with the residents as
her peers.

As the snow cover in northern Lower
Michigan finally melts away, yard clean
up is a sure sign that spring has arrived.
One of the largest public yards in Otsego
County, encompassing approximately 27
acres with 80 campsites, is the beautiful
Otsego Lake County Park, located on
West Otsego Lake Drive.
In return for a little help getting this
gorgeous park ready for the upcoming
summer, the Otsego County Parks and
Recreation department is offering a Free
Camping Weekend at the park from
Friday, May 3rd through Sunday after-
noon, May 5th. This is a great opportu-
nity for area residents and northern trav-
elers to spend a spring weekend airing
out their gear, enjoying the spectacular
lakeside park setting, and get a little
exercise cleaning up their camp site of
debris accumulated during the long win-
ter.
Campers may actually arrive at the
park starting on Wednesday, May 1st,
and the fee will be just $23 per night
(Otsego County Resident) and $25 per
night (Non-Otsego County Resident).

New Challenges, New Solutions is the
theme for the 33rd recognition of National
Crime Victims Rights week, which is being
held from this past Sunday, April 21st,
through this coming Saturday, April 27th.
During the week, communities throughout
the country will honor crime victims and
those advocating on their behalf, and special
emphasis will be placed on promoting vic-
tims rights.
First established as National Victims
Rights Week
back in 1981,
President
Ronald
Reagan des-
ignated that
weeklong
event would
be held dur-
ing the
month of
April. A few
years later, the passage of the Victims of
Crime Act in 1984 was instrumental in estab-
lishing a platform for providing aide and
assistance to victims in the face of the finan-
cial, physical and emotional impacts of
being the target of a crime.
Yet crime statistics remain staggering. In
2009, 20 million crimes were committed in
the United States, and approximately 4.3
million of those were considered violent in
nature. Surprisingly, youth ages 12 to 24
were reported to have the highest rate of vic-
timization. One of the fastest growing crime
segments is that of identity fraud, with near-
ly 11 million adults becoming victims of this
emerging transgression in 2009.
This years National Crime Victims Rights
Week theme; New Challenges, New
Solutions, reflects the Office for Victims of
Crimes initiative Vision 21:Transforming
Victims Services strategy for the 21st
Century, which began in 2010. That mission
is aimed at addressing the many new chal-
lenges such as funding cuts, globalization,
changing demographics, new types of crimes
and changes brought about
through advancing technol-
ogy.
The emotional and physi-
cal range of crime victimiza-
tion is as wide as the diversi-
ty of criminal acts that pro-
duce such damage. National
Crime Victims Rights Week
helps to promote the recog-
nition of victims rights in
the court process, post sen-
tencing, possible restitution, and in assis-
tance through counseling.
Victims Advocates in communities across
the nation work to help crime victims work
through what can be a very confusing
process. That includes understanding the
court system, explaining the intent and
meaning behind a litany of processes such
as the arraignment, pre-trial, preliminary
examination or a scheduling conference.
Crime Victims Advocates also work with the
victims to assist when they have suffered
damages other than the emotional, and in
filing restitution orders with the court. There
are also funds available for crime victims.
While much progress has been made over
the last 30 years, crime victims rights are not
universal and are often not enforced.
National Crime Victims Rights Week
reminds us that many challenges remain.

Crime Victims Week and the Victims of
Crime Act, visit http://ovc.ncjrs.gov/ncvrw/

WEATHER:
Its spring! Time to open the windows, air out
the house, and clean those dirty corners and clut-
tered closets. In the process you will find old
receipts, junk mail, old tax forms and bank state-
ments stuff that must be tossed, but should be
tossed with care. In 2012 Michigan ranked 4th in
the nation in identity theft complaints per capita,
according to the Federal Trade Commission. When
it comes to your personal information, you can
never be too careful.
Thats why Crossroads Industries in Gaylord is
excited to announce that it will be holding a Free
Residential Shred Day on Saturday, May 11th from
9 a.m. until 1 p.m. People can drop off up to three
file boxes full of paper and Crossroads will shred it
all for free!
There is no need to remove clips, staples or rub-
ber bands from the papers, and those who are
dropping things off can even watch as their confi-
dential information is shredded to the size that
the IRS requires for its own document destruction.
The confidential information will never be recov-
ered since the paper is pulped down and made
into new products such as tissue and the outside
of cereal boxes.
Saturday, May 11th is also the date for this years
Free Electronics Recycling Day event.
Held at the Gaylord Department of Public Works
from 9 am to 1 pm, folks can bring in just about
anything electronic, with the EXCEPTION of
devices containing Freon gas such as refrigerators
and air conditioners. So those old televisions,
DVD or VCR players, microwave ovens, game con-
trollers, handheld electronic devices, computers,
monitors and printers, copiers, fax machines, cell
phones and regular phonesthey can all be dis-
posed of in an environmentally friendly way.
New this year, people can also bring batteries,
stoves, ranges, water heaters, washers and dryers
to be recycled. Sponsored by the City of Gaylord
in partnership with Vintage Tech Recyclersthe
Free Electronics Recycling event is a great way to
get rid of worn out equipmentand make some
more room in the house during spring cleaning.
So start sorting now and be ready for these two
excellent and FREE community events. The Free
Residential Shred Day will take place at
Crossroads main facility at 2464 Silver Fox Trail in
the new industrial park in Gaylord. The Free
Electronics Recycling event will take place at the
City of Gaylord Department of Public Works,
located at 102 East Seventh Street. For additional

Volunteers honored Continued...
The second award of the evening went to
Renee Campbell in the Adult Category.
Sponsored by Jets Pizza, Renee was nominat-
ed by Peggy Bush of the Johannesburg PTA,
who said, Renee has been the president of
the local Johannesburg PTA (and she) teach-
es this spirit of volunteerism to the youth
attending Johannesburg schools. She spear-
headed the JLAS Mini-Relay for Life to bene-
fit the American Cancer Society.
Next, Rosie Warner was presented with the
Senior Category Award, which was spon-
sored by the Otsego County Commission on
Aging. Brian Jergenson of The Salvation
Army nominated Rosie, and said, Rosie
coordinates the Salvation Armys annual
Coats for Kids Drive. Rosie went above and
beyond her typical level of outstanding serv-
ice when a fire at the Alpine Laundry
destroyed much of the carry over of clothing
and toys used for local Christmas giving pro-
grams. After the fire last fall, Rosie was one
of the first on the scene to help clean up and
salvage any usable items.
The 2013 Family Category Award went to
Al and Sandy Glasby. Sponsored by the
Gaylord Kiwanis Club and
nominated by Charlie Bono,
who said of the Glasbys, Al
and Sandy have donated
their time and talents to
enhancing the community of
Gaylord for over 15 years.
The Glasbys helped estab-
lish the Gaylord Community
Productions(and) recently
began organizing a Murder
Mystery Dinner Theatre to
help raise funds for local
agencies. Al and Sandy have
motivated many youth and
adults in the community
and their impact on the lives
of others cannot be meas-
ured.
Hospice of Michigan was
the Business Category Award winner, which
was sponsored by Eagle Radio Group.
Nominated by Christy Payne and Ann
ORourke from Aspen Ridge, Hospice of
Michigan provides volunteers to various
agencies across the Northern Michigan area
that affect so many throughout the local
community. Hospice of Michigan provides a
vital service not only to their clients, but also
all of our local residents.
The final award of the evening, in the
Service Club/Organization Category, went to
Crossroads Industries. Also nominated by
Christy Payne and Ann ORourke from Aspen
Ridge, who said, The clients from
Crossroads are very encouraging and sup-
portive towards our residents and friend-
ships have been formed. They are such an
important part of our activities team.
Congratulations to all of this years award
winners and nominees. Your dedication and
contributions toward making the Otsego
County area a better place to live, work and
play are greatly appreciated!

notes Mike Tarbutton, Otsego County
Parks & Recreation Director. There
will be no fee charged on Friday and
Saturday in appreciation for assistance
in cleaning up the camp sites for the
coming season.
Park Rangers will be at the camp-
ground to assist, and while pre-reser-
vations are not accepted for this par-
ticular weekend, campers must still
register their sites at the Ranger Station
upon arrival. All they ask is that
campers bring a rake and clean up the
site they are spending an otherwise
relaxing weekend on. All camping
facilities will be open except the boat
launch.
Mike Tarbutton observes, Its a great
chance for people in the area to take
the camper and equipment out of
hibernation and make sure everything
is working without going too far from
home. Just bring along a rake and
camp for free. We get a lot of help over
the weekend cleaning up park and we
really appreciate it.
Otsego Lake County Park is located
off W. Otsego Lake Drive just a few
miles south and west of Dickerson
Road. Highlights during the regular
camping season include several picnic
areas, shower facilities, playground,
volleyball and basketball courts, horse-
shoe pits fire pits on all sites, 120/220
volt electricity, flush and fill station, a
boat launch and wireless internet serv-
ice.

Camp for Free Continued...
games, playing musical instruments and telling
tall tales. Lumberjacks saved money to pur-
chase land and pay for the passage of family
members from the old country. Many lumber-
jacks acquired property to farm but continued to
spend their winters in the logging camps to earn
an income. Jamerson shares many stories he has
learned first-hand from men who worked in the
woods.
Dressed in costume, Jamerson performs tradi-
tional songs that were passed from camp to
camp. Some of the songs include, A
Lumberjacks Life, which tells of the hardships
of working in the cold; Jack Haggerty, the story
of a broken-hearted river man; and A Shanty
Boy in the Pines, about the many jobs in the
woods. The songs range from foot stomping jigs
to soulful ballads. The stories are as honest as
they are fun, both entertaining and educational.
Jamerson performs throughout the country;
last visiting Gaylord for a program about the
Civilian Conservation Corps. He has produced
eleven documentaries for public television,
recorded three CDs of songs and stories and
written a historical novel. For more information
about this or other programs, please visit his
website at billjamerson.com or contact the
Otsego County Library at 732-5841.
The Otsego County Historical Society (OCHS)
will feature local lumbering artifacts in the
librarys historical display case during the month

tion on upcoming OCHS programs taking place

Michigan History Week activities. For more
information about OCHS, persons can stop by
the museum at 320 W. Main St. starting in late
April, visit their website at www.otsego.org/ochs,

When someone purchases an item from
the vast inventory of new and gently used
home improvement products at the 9,500
square foot Habitat for Humanity Restore
facility in Harbor Springs, they not only
enjoy huge savings in price, they are helping
to build the new home dreams of the fami-
lies the Habitat organization helps each year.
It is truly a win-win situation, the expansion
of a vision that began back in 1976 when
Millard and Linda Fuller founded Habitat for
Humanity. To date, over 400,000 affordable
houses have been built by Habitat affiliates,
housing more than 2 million people world-
wide.
Harbor Springs Habitat for Humanity
Restore Director, Bob Bystrom, states, There
were 28 Restores in Michigan when we start-
ed this one four years ago. Today there are
approximately 50 here in Michigan, and over
800 nationwide. We offer a wide variety of
home improvement items, such as windows,
doors, plumbing and electrical products,
lawn and garden products, light fixtures,
paint and more.
The inventory also includes a constantly
changing selection of gently used furniture
and home accessories. About the only type
of item they dont carry is clothing, and as
with every Habitat for Humanity Restore in
the state, they no longer accept box springs
or mattresses.
Bystrom notes that local businesses, area
contractors, and people in the community
donate the vast majority of the items offered
in the store. Since Habitat for Humanity
Restore is a non-profit organization, those
donations are typically tax-deductible for the
donor. Proceeds from the sales at the
Restore are utilize to assist affiliate
Northwest Michigan Habitat for Humanity
build quality, energy efficient, new home for
families in Emmet and Charlevoix Counties.
When we open our doors back in March
of 2007, Bystrom recalls, Norwest Michigan
Habitat for Humanity was building approxi-
mately one and a half homes per year. That
capacity has now jumped to four to five
homes per year, and last year there were
seven active projects. Since opening, we also
estimate that we have diverted approximate-
ly 11,000 tons of waste that would have
ended up in landfills.
Harbor Springs Habitat for Humanity
Restore is located at 8460 M-119 in Harbor
Springs, and hours of operations are Monday
through Friday, 9:30 am to 5:30 pm, and
Saturday 8:30 am to 2:30 pm. For details, call
231-347-8440 or visit www.northwestmihabi-

On Arbor Day, which we celebrate this
week, people across the country plant
trees. Of course, trees provide us with
many benefits, including beauty, fruit
and oxygen, as well as protection
against land erosion. But the act of
planting and nurturing trees can also
guide our behavior in other areas of life
such as investing.
First of all, consider the vision and
patience exhibited by tree growers when
they plant their saplings. As an investor,
you, too, need this type of perseverance
and long-term outlook. When you
invest, you should be focused on the
long term yet be prepared for the
inevitable short-term market down-
turns. How long is long term? Many
investors hold quality investments for
decades. Its a long process, but the
potential growth you seek will need this
time.
What else can you, as an investor,
learn from tree planters? For one thing,
be aware of how they keep their
orchards healthy. By providing proper
irrigation and disease-prevention meas-
ures, they help their trees stay on the
long path toward maturity. Similarly,
you need to nurture your investment
portfolio by continually providing it
with the financial resources it needs to
stay healthy. During periods of market
volatility, it can be tempting to take a
time out from investing but if you
do, youll miss out on the potential
growth opportunities that may follow.
Since no one can really predict the
beginnings and endings of either up or
down markets, youre better off by
staying invested. Also, just as horticul-
turalists take steps to keep their trees
from being subject to disease, you can
keep your portfolio in good shape by
periodically pruning it of investments
that no longer meet your needs.
Heres something else that tree
planters can teach us: diversification.
Consider an orchard that contains sev-
eral different fruit trees; its commercial
benefits may be greater than a compa-
rable orchard that only grows apples.
Plus, the presence of a variety of trees
can prove beneficial if disease strikes
one type. In some areas of the country,
for example, Dutch Elm Disease wiped
out thousands of trees, leaving entire
streets treeless. If some other species
had also been planted, these streets
would still have had the benefits provid-
ed by mature trees, even if the elms were
gone. As an investor, you dont want to
own just one type of financial asset,
such as growth stocks, because if a
downturn hits this segment, your entire
portfolio could take a big hit. A better
strategy would be to populate your
financial orchard with a variety of
investments such as stocks, bonds
and government securities that are
suitable for your
situation. (Keep in
mind, though,
that while diversi-
fication can help
reduce the effects
of volatility, it cant
guarantee a profit
or protect against
loss.)
As an investor,
you can learn
some lessons from
Arbor Day that
could prove tree-
mendously help-
ful to you as you
chart your course
for the future and
you wont even
have to go out on
a limb to put
these strategies in
place.

Chambers of Commerce in northern
Michigan are working together to host two
seminars to help businesses address some
much talked-about issues: The Affordable
Care Act and Right to Work. The seminars
will be held Wed. May 1 in the Vienna
Room at the Boyne Mountain Grand Lodge
and are open to all area businesses.
The morning session is titled, Right to
Work is Now the Law of Michigan: What
Does it Mean for Your Business? Steven J.
Fishman, Chair of the Workplace Law
Group Bodman, PLC, will present the ses-
sion that runs from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.
Fishman says the session will provide a
sensible review of the new law and its
effect on the workplace including dues
deduction provisions, organizing rules,
enforcement, and more.
In the afternoon, Bodmans Charles M.
Russman will present a session titled,
Healthcare Reform: The Practical Guide to
Help You Prepare. That session will run
from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. and will focus on
those rules already in effect, the impact on
specific businesses, tips for compliance, tax
implications, and how the act impacts a
business ability to attract and retain
employees.
Businesses can attend one session for
$59/person or attend both for $99/person.
Fees include refreshments and all seminar
materials. An optional lunch will be avail-
able in Everetts Lounge at the individuals
own additional expense. Businesses can
register on-line at http://bit.ly/10ho5lu or
they can call the Petoskey Regional
Chamber of Commerce at 231-347-4150
Organizers say the sessions are targeted
at business owners, CEOs, human resource
specialists, and members of high level
management teams.
These seminars are presented by the
Northern Michigan Chamber Alliance, a
partnership of eight primary partners and
four associate partners. The chambers that
comprise the alliance share resources to
advocate on behalf of northern Michigan
businesses. This event represents some
new programming by the alliance as they
attempt to draw together business leaders
from throughout the region to address key
issues.

It's hard for anyone to cope with being
homeless. But the challenges are magni-
fied if you are looking out not only for
yourself, but for your children. In
Michigan, more than half of the people
who are homeless are in families, accord-
ing to the state's Campaign to End
Homelessness. The Campaign is a public-
private partnership of more than 600 agen-
cies working to end homelessness one per-
son and one family at a time. About two-
thirds of the adults in those families are
women (typically single mothers). And the
average age of the children is just seven
years old. Families can end up homeless
for any number of reasons including an ill-
ness or accident, lost job, substance abuse
disorder, mental illness or domestic vio-
lence.
The Campaign to End Homelessness
works to prevent homelessness, where pos-
sible, or rapidly move people into stable
housing while helping them get the servic-
es they need to get back on their feet. The
Campaigns partners work collaboratively
and offer help in a multitude of ways,
including helping secure often-sparse
affordable housing and assisting heads of
household find jobs, access benefits and
get health care services. Each part of the
state has a Housing Assessment and
Resource Agency that directs people to the
services appropriate for their circum-
stances.
"Families need safe, affordable housing
with wrap-around services appropriate to
their level of need," said John McLintock,
Northwest Michigan Community Action
Agency Housing Agent in Charlevoix-
Emmet counties."They also need a level of
income that will help them sustain that
housing, so income supports and educa-
tional programs and employment are
important." About 28 percent of homeless
families in the state have jobs, but the aver-
age monthly income was just $637 in 2011,
according to data gathered by the
Homeless Management Information
System (HMIS). And they face added finan-
cial burdens, including transportation to
and from work, and child care costs.
Single parents who have separated from
their spouses or partners may face a sud-
den drop in income that is difficult or
impossible to replace," said Eric Hufnagel
of the Michigan Coalition Against
Homelessness. "The remaining parent in
the household may not have a significant
employment track record or adequate
income to sustain the family at the same
level," he said.
Keeping children in the same school is
an important issue as well. Every school
district in the state has a homeless liaison
responsible for identifying homeless stu-
dents and ensuring they get to school and
have access to services. Mary Gaudard,
Char-Em ISD Homeless Liaison describes
the local district homeless liaisons as, "cre-
ative and committed in identifying and
meeting the needs of homeless students."
Domestic violence is a common cause of
homelessness for women. Like many
domestic violence shelters, the Womens
Resource Center of Northern Michigans
Safe Home, which serves survivors of
domestic abuse and their children in
Charlevoix, Emmet, Antrim, Cheboygan
and Otsego counties, is constantly being
utilized. Staff assist residents in finding sta-
ble housing and point them to other
resource, in addition to providing safe shel-
ter."We have advocates who work with
women on what their goals are," said
Domestic Abuse Program Director, Chris
Krajewski. "We work in collaboration with
the different agencies in our five counties
that provide housing support and make
sure that the women have every opportuni-
ty to apply to utilize those resources."
Here in Charlevoix and Emmet
Counties were working hard to make sure
every family has a decent and affordable
place to live, said Jamie Winters,
Continuum of Care Chairperson. Were
committed to making that a reality.

Homelessness, visit

Since its meager beginning in 1996 with a sawmill,
a storage shed and an outhouse, Wellington Farm,
USA near Grayling has grown into a significant
Northern Michigan tourist attraction. The historic
complex now has over a dozen buildings and several
interesting stand-alone displays and, there is more to
come.
One new display, which will open in June of 2013,
features the very first broom handle lathe and the
very first belt sander ever constructed. In a recent
publication, Living History Museums, Travels into
Americas Past author Dr. Wayne P. Anderson lists
Wellington Farm, USA as one of three must see liv-
ing history museums in the State of Michigan; and
one of fifty in the entire United States. He also
includes the fact that Wellington Farm, USA is the
only living history complex in the nation that delivers
an educational presentation about the Great
Depression.
But growth and success does not come without
problems. Wellington Farm, USA is now faced with
the challenge of presenting the best possible inter-
pretation of the Great Depression to its visitors.
Currently, the farm does not have the manpower to
do that affectively, and as of yet, gate sales have not
provided the amount of funds necessary to hire a
large interpretive staff.
The result, Wellington Farm USA needs many vol-
unteers for the 2013 season, which begins on May 18.
The farm is not expecting folk to spend a lot of time
as a volunteer, although some do. A couple or three
days a month on a regular basis would be a big help.
And really, its a very enjoyable and rewarding experi-
ence. Once you get into in, youll love it, says one
current volunteer.
So that you can find out what its all about,
Wellington Farm, USA has set aside five special times
for you to come visit the farm free of charge. If you
have never experienced the 60-acre living history
museum, now would be a great time to do that.
Those special Visit the Farm, FREE events are set
for:
- 6:00 p.m., Friday, May 3, 2013
- 2:00 p.m., Sunday, May 5, 2013
- 6:00 p.m., Friday, May 10, 2013
- 2:00 p.m., Saturday, May 11, 2013
Plan now to visit Wellington Farm, USA during one
of these special times and give serious consideration
in donating a little time to a project that is working
hard to increase employment opportunities in the
area and drawing visitors to Northern Michigan.
Wellington Farm is located at 6944 S. Military Road
just off I-75 and US-127 southwest of Grayling. The
60-acre facility depicts rural life as it was lived during
the Great Depression. Wellington Farm will open for
the season May 18, 2013. The farm will be open
weekends only until mid+June, after which it will be
open seven days a week until Halloween. Wellington
Farm Park, Inc. is a 5013 non-profit corporation.
Historic Wellington Farm
has growing pains;
seeks volunteers
to lend a hand
Volunteers participating in the
Michigan Department of
Transportation (MDOT) Adopt-A-
Highway program will begin pick-
ing up litter April 27 along state
highways in northern Lower
Michigan and the Upper Peninsula.
The pickup will continue until May
5 for northern Lower Michigan, and
to May 12 for the U.P. because of
snow currently on the ground.
"Adopt-A-Highway volunteers
take tremendous pride in keeping
Michigan looking great," said State
Transportation Director Kirk T.
Steudle. "During these challenging
times as we all try to maintain our
precious assets with fewer funds,
we rely on these volunteers to help
us show off our beautiful state.
Please proceed with caution when
you see the volunteers at work."
In 2012, Adopt-A-Highway
groups reported collecting about
65,000 bags of trash, a cost benefit
to the state of $5.6 million.
Volunteers wear high-visibility, yel-
low-green safety vests required by
federal regulations when working
within a highway's right of way.
MDOT provides the vests and trash
bags for free, and arranges to haul
away the trash. Current volunteers
include members of various civic
groups, businesses and families.
Crew members have to be at least
12 years old and each group must
number at least three people.
Sections of highway are still
available for adoption. Interested
groups should check the MDOT
Web page at
www.michigan.gov/adoptahighway
for more information. Groups are
asked to adopt a section of highway
for at least two years. There is no
fee to participate. Adopt-A-
Highway signs bearing a group's
name are posted along the stretch-
es of adopted highway.
This year's second Adopt-A-
Highway pickup will be from July
13 to 21, followed by the final pick-
up from Sept. 21 to 29.

mally picks up your packages. EQ will facili-
tate the recycling of the mercury containing
devise(s). Most mercury items can be

Some examples of eligible mercury contain-
ing devises include: thermometers, thermo-
stats, gauges with silver colored liquid inside,
dental amal-
gam,
hydrome-
ters, etc.

Just laugh right now, wherever you are, just laugh. Out
loud. Doesnt that feel good? How many times have you
laughed today? Twice? Ten times? The average 40 year old
laughs four times a day. The average five year old - more
than 300. For the sake of your emotional and physical
health, you should laugh more.
Is laughter the best medicine? There is considerable evi-
dence that laughter is good for us, for many reasons.
Laughter reduces blood sugar levels and increases glucose
tolerance, whether you have diabetes or not. Laughter
reduces pain and helps us to tolerate discomfort.
Norman Cousins was seeking a way to cope with inflam-
matory arthritis when he decided to watch Marx Brothers
movies to distract himself from the pain. In his book,
Anatomy of an Illness as Perceived by the Patient (W.W.
Norton, 1979, 2001, 2005) Cousins claimed that ten minutes
of laughter daily significantly reduced the pain and inflam-
mation, allowing him to sleep for two hours without pain.
Laughter improves job performance, particularly if your
work requires creativity and solving complex problems.
Laughter improves the functioning of the heart and brain.
Laughter actually helps your blood vessels function better,
by increasing blood flow.
Research conducted by a cardiologist found that laughter
was as beneficial as aerobic activity in a sample of 20 healthy
adults.
Michael Miller, M.D., believes that the study results indi-
cate that laughter may help maintain a healthy endothelium.
The endothelium regulates blood flow and the ability of
blood to coagulate and clot, as well as secreting chemicals in
response to infection and wounds. Important in cardiovas-
cular disease, a healthy functioning endothelium delays or
prevents the development of atherosclerosis, or hardening of
the arteries. How laughter helps the endothelium is not
entirely clear.
Laughter reduces levels of stress hormones cortisol, epi-
nephrine and dopamine and increases endorphins, neuro-
transmitters and antibodies while improving blood flow to
the heart, leading to greater relaxation, improved mood and
a positive outlook. The effect may be a result of the exercise
of the diaphragm muscles through laughter. At the least,
laughter reduces mental stress, which damages the endothe-
lium. Laughter shouldn't be considered a substitute for aer-
obic activity in avoiding cardiovascular disease. The two can
work in tandem to improve heart health.
Laughter also plays an important role in relationships.
Laughter establishes a positive emotional climate and cre-
ates an emotional connection between people through syn-
chronizing, if only briefly, the brains of those involved. The
power of laughter in intimate relationships is underestimat-
ed - laughing together - not at one another - keep a relation-
ship together.
To improve your health - and your mood - strive to laugh
at least 15 minutes each day. You could achieve this by con-
sciously guffawing for 15 minutes a day or watching situa-
tion comedies alone in your living room. However, since
laughter is contagious and improves relationships, try to
meet your laughter quota in the company of others. When
others are laughing, join in!
We can all benefit from more laughter. As you work to
laugh more, help those that are around you to increase their
laughter quota as well! Today, spend at least 15 minutes
laughing. You will feel happier right away. Make laughter a
daily habit and you and your arteries will be feeling younger
in no time.

The Otsego County United Way & Food
Pantry would like to offer their thanks UAW
Retirees & BJs Restaurant for making the 8th
annual Spaghetti Dinner Benefit a wonderful
success.
Lorraine Manary, executive director of the
Otsego County United Way states, This year
was bigger and better than ever with crowds
waiting to be seated. Businesses treated staff,
families treated themselves, and friends met
for this wonderful lunch or dinner. Everyone
walked away happy and satisfied after enjoy-
ing all the spaghetti, garlic bread, salad and
ice cream they could eat.
The 8th annual Spaghetti Dinner Benefit
bought in brought in $2,473 with the pro-
ceeds being split between the Otsego County
Food Pantry & O.C. United Way.
Otsego County United Way &
Food Pantry thanks UAW

Spaghetti Dinner Benefit
GRAYLING A lot of people had probably
met Greg Warren, some maybe not even
knowing it.
The 27-year-old was a former student-ath-
lete and graduate from Grayling High School
and a manager at McDonalds, working at
the local fast food restaurant for six years.
Now, family and friends, as well as com-
munity members, continue to rally around
Warrens wife, Kristi, and his two young chil-
dren, Joshua and Kaitlyn, after his sudden
death from injuries sustained in a roll-over
accident on M-72, near Thendara Road, in
the early evening hours of March 20, as he
drove home from work.
He was a happy guy and loved his family,
said Stacey Rosin of Alanson, Kristi Warrens
aunt and a former Grayling area resident. It
shook us all up.
Rosin said she was overwhelmed by the
response by people she didnt even know
when she and two others, Penny Podjaske
and Deb Weaver, started to organize the
Greg Warren Family Benefit Dinner that
took place Saturday, April 20, at the
American Legion Hall in Grayling.
Even before the event started at 2 p.m.
Saturday, she said people were dropping off
items for either the silent or live auction that
would take place later that day. Or, they were
donating money to help the Warren family
recovery from the loss of a husband and
father.
People had nothing to things to say about
him, Rosin added. Thats why (people)
wanted to help. He was just a wonderful
guy.
The event included a dinner, $5 for an
individual or $20 per family, as well as the
auctions and raffles. Rosin said she was
pleasantly surprised when others there
brought bracelets to sell, as another type of
an impromptu fund-raiser.
While organizers still try to tally the results
of fund-raiser, Brenda Wargo, Kristis step-
mother, said she heard one total of $4,700
being collected on Saturday.
I think it went rather well, Wargo said of
the benefit dinner. There was a lot of sup-
port.
Wargo said she wasnt exactly sure what
the money would be used for, though shes
sure theres bills that must be paid.
The car insurance is going to help with
some of the wages shes lost from his death,
Wargo added. (But) life doesnt stop. You
have to keep going. You have to pay your
bills.
Kristi attended the fund-raiser for a brief
time. But, Wargo said it was obviously diffi-
cult for the young widow to be there.
Greg was very kindhearted, always willing
to help people, Wargo said. If he wasnt at
work, he was at home with his family.
(His death) was devastating to the entire
family, she added. At times, its very diffi-
cult for (Kristi). Shes taking it day by day.
Rosin said she talked with Kristi shortly
after Gregs death, which led her and others
to start seeing how they might help the fami-
ly.
She was worried about money, Rosin
said. She was worried Greg wouldnt have a
nice funeral.
But, Rosin added, it didnt take long before
others in the Grayling area, and even
beyond, wanted to see if they could also
help.
There were a lot of people helping, going
to businesses for donations, she said.
People were asking how they could help.
I was shocked by how many people con-
tacted me to donate.
The responses continued after Rosin post-
ed the Benefit Dinner for the family of Greg
Warren on Facebook.
As soon as I put it on Facebook, I was
overwhelmed, she said. It was amazing
how people asked how they could help.
Just overwhelming. It was just incredible.
And, Rosin said she believes the benefit
event was a success, not because of the
money raised, but because of how a commu-
nity rallied to help out a family in need.
It was just a success how people rallied
together, she said. To see all these people
coming through the door and dropping
things off In my eyes that was the greatest
measure of success.
According to Rosin, persons can still
donate the Greg Warren Memorial Fund by
dropping off or mailing checks to Citizens
Bank, 305 Michigan Ave., Grayling, MI 49738.
For more information on the memorial fund,
call the bank office at 989-344-4009.
Condolences may be sent to Warren family
online at www.sorensonlockwood.com.

Michigan residents continue to fall vic-
tim to the troubled economy. Residents
who seek housing assistance in northwest
Michigan can find help with the
Northwest Michigan Community Action
Agency (NMCAA), a NeighborWorks
Chartered Member.
Free Foreclosure Prevention Education
workshops are available in NMCAAs
Traverse City, Petoskey, and Cadillac
offices. Homeowners will learn how to
avoid foreclosure and the different fore-
closure programs that are available.
NMCAA, a certified HUD and MSHDA
Housing Counseling Agency, will also edu-
cate homeowners about the foreclosure
process and counsel families on budget-
ing for their personal financial situation.
Homeowners do not have to be within
the actual foreclosure process to access
these services many are available to
assist before a crisis actually occurs to
keep the clients out of the foreclosure
process altogether.
For details or more information, or
learn about the workshop, please call
(231) 947-3780 or (800) 632-7334.
NMCAAs website is www.nmcaa.net.

All kids are terrific and here at
South Maple Elementary and
North Ohio 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 follow-
ing our school rules will be rec-
ognized 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 bul-
letin 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!

The Food Pantry at St. Thomas Church in
Cheboygan is providing an opportunity to
make a difference in the lives of those in the
Cheboygan area community; those in need
of food assistance as well as those helping to
provide that assistance, The Food Pantry is a
place where people in need can obtain food
as well as information to assist them in
regaining a foothold in their lives.
Located at St. Thomas Lutheran Church
on Western Avenue in Cheboygan, the pantry
is a project overseen by a group formed by
the Christian community of Cheboygan and
partnered by six local churches and support-
ed by many other area churches and com-
munity businesses, organizations and indi-
viduals. A group of dedicated volunteers is
an essential part of the Food Pantry opera-
tions, and the success of that mission is also
dependent on the generous contributions of
food items and monetary donations from
those in the community.
Lowell Beethem states, This Food Pantry
was started 1991. My wife, Jean, and I are
co-chairs of the current Board of Directors,
which is comprised of members represent-
ing five churches in Cheboygan area. We
have over 100 volunteers, and we run two
shifts on Mondays and have six teams that
pick up food items, including those from
Walmart, which is a participant in the
Feeding America program.
The Food Pantry at St. Thomas Lutheran
Church accepts both fresh and canned food
items. Those who look into their storage
pantry at home and find they have more
food than they can readily use will find the
act of donating those foods to the Pantry is
both one of kindness and of giving. Proper
nourishment is one of lifes most basic of
needs, and in these troubled economic
times, an alarming number of people are
suddenly finding themselves unable to put a
sufficient amount of food on the table each
and every day. Through the work of volun-
teer organizations such as the Food Pantry of
St. Thomas Lutheran Church, more and
more of these individuals are able to sustain
themselves and their families until they are
able to get back on their feet.
In winter we tend to serve more people
than in summer, Beethem observes. In the
summer we serve up to 150 families each
week, and that number is up to 250 families
in the winter.
The Food Pantry at St. Thomas Lutheran
Church is a partner agency with the Food
Bank of Eastern Michigan. This affiliation
significantly increases the effective food pur-
chasing power for the Food Pantry. That also
means dollars donated to the Pantry can go
a very long way. Estimates are that for every
$1 someone donates the pantry can procure
six meals worth of food!
Beethem notes, Anyone who is truly in
need can be served here. We get a lot of sup-
port from many groups in our community.
We could not do this without them and the
support of the five churches who oversee the
Food Pantry operations.
The Food Pantry at St. Thomas Church is
open every Monday from 10 am until Noon
and from 4 until 6 pm. It is located at 332 N.
Western Avenue in Cheboygan. To make a
donation, please call (231) 627-3167 or visit

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.

This past weekend, Harbor Light Christian
School presented Les Misrables: A New
Drama. The script was written by Bethany
A. Schwartzkopf, who is affiliated with
LifeHouse Productions of Redlands,
California.
Inspired by the classic Victor Hugo 19th
century novel, the two-act play is about the
life and struggles of the French convict-
turned-humanitarian Jean Valjean (played by
Harbor Light senior Skyler Morgan) and his
nemesis, Inspector Javert (sophomore
Michael Blair). It is a powerful tale, beloved
by millions, of redemption, forgiveness,
revenge, and tragedy.
The Harbor Light students have been
rehearsing the drama since January, and
some of the cast, like the crowd-pleasing
and comical Cody Taylor, took on more than
one role. The young Cosette, Valjeans adopt-
ed daughter,
was played
by Isabella
Bella
Balistreri, a third-grader with an exceptional-
ly clear speaking voice.
Maranda Ginop, the productions 22-year-
old director who has been involved with the
Purity Ring Drama Group, raved about work-
ing with the students: I am amazed at the
kids leadership, thoughtfulness, and pas-
sion.
Ginop added, I stumbled across this ver-
sion of Les Mis last year, and it was the only
non-musical version I could find that did
justice to the story. Skyler Morgan was so
enthusiastic about the Les Misrables movie,
which was released recently, that his passion
sold me that we could pull it off.
The production, which featured twenty-
one cast members and took place at the
schools Harbor Springs location, also called
for chase scenes and unusually large props.
Cortez Ellis, a North Central Michigan
College communications major was in the
audience and quipped that the students
moved furniture faster than Art Van.
Another interesting touch was the inclu-
sion of theme Bible verses in the program,
like Romans 12:21, which reads, Do not be
overcome by evil, but overcome evil with
good.

By Deb Hagen-Foley
Barbara thought it was an inconvenience in 1991 when she
suddenly had problems writing. She had already completed
an Associate of Science degree in Medical Lab Technology and
was working on her Associate of Science (RN) when she
noticed she had trouble writing ns and ms. She reached the
top of the curves and it was as though her brain wasnt com-
municating with her hand and she wasnt able to finish the let-
ters. She thought it was odd, but was not anxious about the
unusual symptom. During a routine visit, she asked the doc-
tor about it. He attributed it to stress. She was working full
time at nights to be available during the day for her three chil-
dren. She worked around the symptom.
During her daughter Jennifers wedding rehearsal in 1993,
someone noticed a tremor in her right hand. She again
excused it as stress. She became concerned when the tremors
continued. In 1994 she saw a chiropractor about neck pain.
She continued chiropractic treatment for three years. The
treatment reduced the pain, but didnt eliminate the tremors.
She was then referred to an orthopedist specializing in neck
problems. He conducted an exam that included applying
pressure to her neck, causing extreme pain. He thought he
could repair her neck and stop the tremors.
On a Friday morning in 1997, the surgeon removed a disc
between the C-5 and C-6 vertebrae (in the upper portion of
the spine) and replaced the disc with a chip of bone from her
hip secured by a titanium plate. The surgeon told her the
sooner she walked, the sooner she would go home. She was
walking within two hours of the completion of surgery and
went home the next day.
Her pain was reduced and the tremors stopped, but only for
three weeks. The cause of the recurrent tremors could not be
found. Six years after her first symptom, she had experienced
eight MRIs, three CT scans and at least three electromyograms
(EMG). An EMG is a test of the electrical activity of muscles.
After all these tests, she still had no diagnosis.
Six months later, she wanted to begin working on her
Bachelors of Science in Nursing. She wasnt allowed to enroll
due to the tremor. One Sunday morning soon after, she com-
plained to a church member about being unable to enroll. He
suggested she come to his office the next day. The church
member, an M.D., conducted a thorough neurological exam.
He diagnosed her as having Parkinsons disease. As a med-
ical professional, she had considered the possibility she had
Parkinsons and had suggested the diagnosis to doctors only
to be told she was wrong. The doctors did not believe it could
be Parkinsons due to her age. Parkinsons typically affects
people in their 60s and 70s, not in their 40s. There is no sin-
gle test for Parkinsons disease. The diagnosis requires a thor-
ough neurological exam and consideration of a mix of symp-
toms (tremors, rigidity and slow movement) that are typical of
Parkinsons.
A chronic, degenerative neurological disorder, Parkinsons
disease affects 1 in 100 people over the age of 60. The average
age of onset is 60, but the disease can begin at age 40 in as
many as 10% of people. Actor Michael J. Fox was diagnosed
with young-onset Parkinsons disease at age 30. The Michael
J. Fox Foundation for Parkinsons Research (available online at
www.michaeljfox.org) funds research to improve treatments
for those living with Parkinsons with the goal of finding a cure
to eradicate the disease.
At least one million people in the US and six million world-
wide have Parkinsons disease. The symptoms of Parkinsons:
tremor, slowness of movement, balance problems and rigidi-
ty; are the result of the loss of brain cells that produce
dopamine. Dopamine transmits signals within the brain
coordinating movements. Lack of Dopamine reduces the
Parkinsons patients ability to direct or control their move-
ments. It is unknown what causes the loss of brain cells
although environmental toxins or virus are suspected. With
most chronic illnesses, the condition is treatable but not cur-
able. Through trial and error, the medical professional and
the patient determine the best course of treatment, which will
vary throughout the progression of the illness.
After being given the diagnosis, she decided, This is not
going to get me. Ive got things to do. I want to go to school.
Barbara cried when she told her husband David, whom she
married in 1970. She didnt tell her three children, Jennifer,
Melissa and Jeremy. She didnt even tell her best friend for
another 18 months. Her friend had health problems of her
own (diabetes) and Barbara didnt want to worry her. She did-
nt want people feeling sorry for her and didnt want to be seen
as someone needing help.
It is not unusual for women with a chronic illness to rely on
a spouse for social support and to not ask friends for help.
Rather than accept help they might not be able to return,
women often go without the emotional support and other
help that could improve their situation. Women are fre-
quently better at care giving than accepting the help they may
need. Barbara thought her best way of coping with her diag-
nosis was by covering, preventing others from finding out
and taking three medications to diminish her symptoms.
Parkinson's disease can't be cured, but medications can
control symptoms by increasing the supply of dopamine.
Over time, the medications may become less effective. Deep
brain stimulation (DBS) is an option when symptoms are dif-
ficult to control. In deep brain stimulation, electrodes are
implanted into the brain of the Parkinson's patient. These
electrodes are connected to a generator that is implanted into
the chest to send electrical current to the brain. DBS is often
effective in reducing involuntary movements (dyskinesia),
tremors and rigidity.
The Michael J. Fox
Foundation for Parkinson's
Research has been funding
research to improve treat-
ments and find a cure for the
disease since its inception in
2000. To find a support group
for persons with Parkinson's
disease, visit the website of
the Michigan Parkinson's
Foundation at www.parkin-
sonsmi.org.

McLaren Northern Michigan is hosting a free
four-week program to help cancer survivors
face the challenges and changes cancer brings;
from the moment of diagnosis, through treat-
ment and beyond, and into years of survivor-
ship or palliative care.
Cancer Survivorship and Wellness, a pro-
gram funded by McLaren Northern Michigan
Foundation, offers education and support to
cancer patients and their family members. The
group sessions take place from 2 - 4 p.m. on
May 2, 9, 23 & 30 at the John and Marnie
Demmer Wellness Pavilion and Dialysis Center,
820 Arlington Avenue in Petoskey. Sessions will
focus on living well with a cancer diagnosis, as
well as learning skills for the promotion of
physical and emotional well-being. Attendance
at all four sessions is highly recommended.
Family members or caregivers are also wel-
come to attend.
This group is designed to allow people who
are living through any cancer diagnosis, be it
an early diagnosis or living beyond their treat-
ments, to come together and speak about their
journeys, said Rita E. Miller, RN, MSN, OCN,
and Nurse Clinician at McLaren Northern
Michigan in Petoskey.
Miller said the end of cancer treatments are
not the end of the cancer experience for
patients who
must face
complicated
care issues
related to their
cancer sur-
vivorship.
Cancer
patients con-
tinue to live
with chronic
disease issues
long after their
initial cancer treatment and follow-up care has
ended with their oncology team, she said. A
cancer diagnosis no longer signals a diagnosis
of death. Today, people are living longer with a
cancer diagnosis, and with increased health
care needs related to their individual cancer
type or from the side effects of cancer treat-
ments received during acute care.
This group provides a way for survivors to
come together and collectively learn about
cancer and to discover ways to live well as a
survivor with a cancer diagnosis, she added.
For more information, call Amy Juneau at
231.487.4015 or Rita Miller at 231.487.4281.
Space is limited. Register by calling (800) 248-
6777.
