In response to a mandate pending
under the new Health Care Reform pro-
gram that would require employer heath
care plans to provide availability to free
contraceptives, sterilization and abor-
tion-inducing medications, the Pro-Life
Action League and Citizens for a Pro-Life
Society are sponsoring nationwide rally
events on Friday, June 8th. These rallies
are being held to build support for hav-
ing this mandate removed from the new
Health Care Reform requirements.
These Stand Up for Religious Freedom

fast commitment to their goals.
We wish all graduating students continued suc-
cess as they pursue their dreams.

The Plane continued...
tion with airport officials resulted in the award of free air-
show tickets to those who spotted the planethe plane
during the early morning hours last Friday.
The upcoming Wings Over Gaylord airshow is set to take
off this coming Fathers Day weekend, June 15th thru 17th, at
the Gaylord Regional Airport. The three-day event will fea-
ture thrilling airborne aviation demonstrations, displays of
vintage military and civilian aircraft, and two exciting live
band performances; a Big Band 1940s themed hanger party
on Friday night, and a 1950 era live music event on Saturday
evening. If you have some vintage wear in your wardrobe,
this is an excellent time to bring those duds out of mothballs.
Airport Manager, Matt Barresi, states that in addition to
the much-anticipated return of many of the airshows staple
activities and demonstrations, there are a few new exciting
treats in store for attendees this year.
He relates, We are now an international air show as one of
the new attractions this year will be the SkyHawks, which is
Canadas only military parachute demonstration team. The
SkyHawks performance is exciting, colorful and demon-
strates incredible skill and courage as they create amazing
formations in the sky. Also new this year will be a fascinating
military heavy weapons display on the grounds of the show,
with special security forces out of Alpena displaying squad
assault weapons, grenade launchers, and explosive ordi-
nance disposal as was recently portrayed in the hit movie;
The Hurt Locker.
The excitement will fill the skies and can be enjoyed by
attendees on the grounds of Gaylord Regional Airport next
Saturday, June 16th and again on Sunday the 17th with a
lineup this year that also includes the US Air Force A-10 East
Warthog demonstration team out of Georgia. The legendary
Yankee Air Force will bring vintage WWII planes including
the B-25 Mitchell and C-47 Skytrain. Formation stunts
will be performed daily by the AeroStars, and the A10
Thunderbolts (or Warthogs) team will demonstrate their
amazing aircraft, known as Tankbusters because of the
planes powerful 30 mm GAU-8/A seven-barrel Gatling guns
capable of firing 3,900 rounds per minute!
Area residents and up north visitors should be on the look-
out for a mock invasion of Gaylord that will take place next
Friday, June 15th. A convoy of military vehicles will parade
through downtown in conjunction with a parachute jump by
the Canadian SkyHawks. Now that isnt something seen
everyday!
Such a spectacular opening is only fitting for the action
packed excitement for those of every age that will take place
at the Wings Over Gaylord airshow on Fathers Day weekend,
and organizers expected approximately 7,000 people will
converge on the Gaylord community during the weekend
show.
Barresi observes, This is the third year of the airshow
event, and Wings over Gaylord has become one more reason
to visit and discover Gaylord. Approximately 50-percent of
the cost of the show is funded by local businesses and indi-
viduals who lend their support because this is such a vital
and exciting way to promote our community. We couldnt
even begin to put on such a large scale show without this
generous support.
The 2012 Wings Over Gaylord promises to be even bigger,
better and faster than ever before. In the air and on the
ground, there is so much to see, do and fabulous food to eat,
its a good thing the event runs both Saturday and Sunday.
Barresi notes, What better way to celebrate Fathers Day
weekend that by taking dad and the family out to enjoy
Wings Over Gaylord 2012?
The gates for the air show will open at 9 am on Saturday
and Sunday, June 16th and 17th, and will close at 5 pm.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for ages 6-12 yrs, and 5 yrs and
under are free. Parking on the airport grounds is also free.
Note that advanced pre-paid tickets will be valid for both
days of the event. Advance tickets can be purchased at
Saturn Book Sellers, the Gaylord Information center or at the
Gaylord Regional Airport.

The weather may have been up north spring-
like this past Saturday, but the cool temperatures
and drizzling rain could not stop the bright glows
reflected off the faces of those attending the annu-
al Foster Parent Appreciation Picnic held under
the pavilion at Otsego Lake County Park.
Approximately 75 foster children and parents
along with DHS staff and their families gathered
at the park to honor and celebrate the vital role
foster care plays each and every day of the year in
Otsego, Oscoda and Crawford Counties.
This is about showing foster parents how much
we appreciate what they do every day, states
Marc Morrell, DHS Children Services Specialist,
who has been a foster care worker since 2008.
We hold this event each year, though this is the
first time we have held it at Otsego Lake County
Park.
The afternoon and early evening included a
grand style barbeque picnic, delicious cake, chil-
drens games, as well as presentations by DHS rep-
resentatives, foster parents and children. A
poignant tribute was made to Tracie Cary, a DHS
worker who lost her life in a tragic home fire earli-
er this year.
The picnic also provided an opportunity to pro-
mote awareness of the growing need for foster
home care throughout the three county region
overseen by the local DHS office.
There are currently about 50 foster homes in
our region, states Marc Morrell. That includes
licensed couples, single parents and relatives of
the foster child. We have approximately 94 chil-
dren in the foster care program, so even with
some of the participating homes caring for multi-
ple children, there is still a significant need for
additional foster care homes in our area.
He emphasizes, A core objective of the program
is to keep children in their own community.
Foster care is designed to be temporary care until
those children can be reunified with their natural
parents. There are still several of these children
that we have had to place out of the area because
we dont have enough foster homes available in
this area.
Morrell points out that as of 2009, even when
children are placed with relatives - those relatives
must be licensed foster care homes.
Morrell explains, For those considering becom-
ing foster parents, it is a simple process to stop by
our office and learn about the process. If they
decide to go forward with the licensing, that
involves several steps including background
checks, home inspection, a 12 hour training pro-
gram (PRIDE training)the entire process can
take about six months or so.
The ultimate goal is to find a good match
between foster parent and child, and those inter-
ested in becoming licensed can set specific guide-
lines they are comfortable with, such as age range
of children, number of children, or whether they
would like to care for a male or female child.
If interested in learning about becoming a fos-
ter care home; in Otsego/Oscoda counties contact
Marc Morrell at (989) 731-3116, and in Crawford
County, contact Donna VanBrocklin at (989) 344-
5126.
Fewer Americans today are likely to earn a diploma than
their parents, a distinction not shared by any other industri-
alized country. Char-Em United Way will join organizations
nation-wide in celebrating a Day of Action on the longest
day of the year, June 21st, to work to meet this growing com-
munity need.
Locally, Char-Em United Way will partner with local
libraries, schools, and other agencies to promote reading and
learning skills with area children. Volunteers are being
recruited to read to children at several sites on June 21.
People interested in volunteering can learn more about this
opportunity at www.tinyurl.com/volunteerconnections .
We are excited to promote our second annual Day of
Action, says Martha Lancaster, Executive Director of Char-
Em United Way. The longest day of the year is a great time
to renew our communitys focus on education and we
encourage everyone to take action. You can volunteer to read
to kids, write a letter in support of early childhood education
funding, donate books to a local school, or make a financial
contribution to our education efforts.
Volunteer readers on Day of Action will be matched with
local summer schools, day care centers, and libraries. This is
a critical time for reading activities, as research from the
National Summer Learning Association shows, students also
lose more than two months in reading achievement over the
summer months.
Developing reading proficiency at an early age is a key
factor in high school graduation, continues Lancaster.
Students who arent strong readers by 4th grade are at risk of
educational failure and are more likely than their peers to
drop out of high school. We believe with the help of local
volunteers we can put local kids on the path to success.
The Day of Action is only one piece in United Ways
Education Initiative. The organization is also seeking volun-
teers to make a year-round commitment to read to, tutor, or
mentor youth in a variety of settings. Members of United
Ways Literacy Corps will be provided with training and
support and placed in programs needing their help.
If you are interested in helping with the Day of Action
activities or becoming a mentor, tutor or reading aide on an
ongoing basis, email vista@charemunitedway.org or call 231-
487-1006. Volunteer opportunities are listed under the
Volunteer tab at www.charemunitedway.org.

Stand Up continued...
Rally event that was held on March 23rd of this year. On
that day, over 63,000 Americans came out in 145 cities
coast to coast against the new mandate.
Kelly Korson, Rally Captain for the upcoming Rally
event to be held in downtown Gaylord at noon on
Friday, states, This is not just a Catholic issueor a
Christian issuebut an American issue, and we as
believers must bind together as never before. Our reli-
gious freedomsof which our country was built
uponare being attacked.
This past January, the United States Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) unveiled a new poli-
cy, which has come to be known at the HHS Mandate.
The new mandate would require nearly all private health
insurance plans to include coverage for all FDA-
approved prescription contraceptive drugs and devices,
surgical sterilizations and abortion-inducing drugs.
While the HHS Mandate does provide an exemption
for religious employers who may object to contracep-
tion, sterilizations and abortion-inducing drugs, the
Rally organizers website points out that this exemption
is so narrow it fails to cover the vast majority of faith-
based organizations, including Catholic hospitals, uni-
versities, and service organizations that help millions
every year. Many religious institutions providing health,
educational or charitable services to others would have
no protection from the mandate.
The Stand Up For Religious Freedom rally in this area
will be held on the Otsego County Building lawn and
under the Pavilion in downtown Gaylord starting at
noon on Friday, June 8th. Korson states, Please join us
and bring your signs, American Flags, or red, white, and
blue balloons. There will be speakers, music, and
prayers, and Christians of all walks of faith attending.
The Health Care Reform law is currently under delib-
eration by the United States Supreme Court, and a ruling
regarding the law is expected by the end of June.
To learn more about the rally event, visit
www.standupforreligiousfreedom.com,

Health Care Reform law, visit www.healthcare.gov
Syrena Rexroat, a 2005 graduate of St. Mary High
School, will be among the featured speakers at the
Stand Up For Religious Freedom rally in downtown
Gaylord this Friday, beginning at noon.

When the store opened this past August, a good portion

We offer quality, thoroughly cleaned clothing at very rea-
sonable prices, notes Lauber.
We also have furniture, house wares, tools, books, shoes,
belts and accessories, a wide assortment of knickknacks,
antiques, and much more.

On Saturday, June 9, Crooked Tree Arts Center will host its 7th
Annual Paint Out in conjunction with DArt for Art. While there
is no entry fee for this years event, participating artists must
paint at least one painting to donate to DArt for Art. New this
year, the Paint Out will be juried, with a $250 cash prize for Best
Plein Air Painting. Please note that this will be the only paint
out that CTAC is hosting during the Summer 2012 season.

the Pier Restaurant, between the hours of 8:00-9:00 a.m. Coffee,
donuts and muffins will be served at check in.
Elizabeth Pollie, CTAC Board Member and donating artist, was
instrumental in creating a Paint Out for the arts centers major
fundraiser. She writes in her letter to artists, As most of you
know, this paint out was designed to create an easier and very
enjoyable way of donating a piece of art to the Crooked Tree Arts
Center Annual fundraiser. Pollie will also host the end of day
reception at her gallery West Wind Atelier on Main Street in
Harbor Springs beginning at 6:00 pm. All work created that day
will on display and prizes awarded. Any additional work that is
created will be offered for sale and on display in the Lower Level
at Crooked Tree Arts Center through June 28.
It is my hope that you will set aside the day to combine your
talents with your support of Crooked Tree Arts Center. As a cur-
rent CTAC board member I have witnessed the many meaningful
ways in which this organization supports the arts throughout the
area. I cannot emphasize enough the role that DArt For Art
plays in this ability to provide continued support as well as
opportunities of expansion in the of the arts within our area
concludes Pollie.

Elementary School third-graders from Lisa Szajners class
enjoyed a year-end gathering with their RSVP senior pen
pals. The pen pal program, which runs throughout the
school year, helps students (and their senior friends) improve
their writing and socialization skills, plus it offers a tremen-
dous opportunity for a little cross-generational communica-

Q: My husband has an anger
problem and gets upset over
the littlest issues. He's not abu-
sive, but he lashes out with
words. Our family walks on
eggshells around him. How can
I help him?
Juli: Although you can't get your hus-
band to change his behavior, you can
influence him. The first thing you can
do is help him understand the impact
his outbursts have on you and your fam-
ily. Many people live by the "sticks and
stones" rule, minimizing the effect
harsh words have on relationships. At a
neutral time (not when he's upset), tell
him there is something you would like
to share with him. Preface your state-
ment with a softener like, "I know you
may not be aware of this, but..." Then
explain how his outbursts hurt you and
get in the way of feeling safe with him.
He may or may not receive your com-
ments well. Even if he doesn't acknowl-
edge what you say, he may think about it
over time.
Second, as much as he's willing to
allow it, help him identify the true
source of his anger. It's easy to dump
anger and frustration on family mem-
bers when the genesis of those feelings
comes from somewhere else. For exam-
ple, how much stress is he under at
work? Are finances contributing? What
was modeled in his home growing up?
Asking the right questions can help him
make some of these connections.
Finally, be prepared for the next time
he gets angry. You have the right and the
responsibility to stand up for yourself
and your family if his words become
harsh and hurtful. I highly recommend
two books that will help you know what
to say in the middle of a tense situation:
"Boundaries" by Dr. Henry Cloud and
Dr. John Townsend and "Love Must be
Tough" by Dr. James Dobson.

Q: I've been dating the same
girl for five months. We're get-
ting serious, but I'm not 100 per-
cent sure about it. Some of my
married friends knew they'd
found "the one" after only a
couple weeks of dating.
Jim: Some people "know" sooner than
others, but don't feel like you have to be
on the fast track. You and your girlfriend
shouldn't feel pressure to make a deci-
sion any sooner than either of you is
ready.
Marrying my wife, Jean, wasn't a
tough decision. Once I knew, I knew.
More importantly, once she knew -- I
knew! But that doesn't mean I didn't
invest a great deal of thought and prayer
in the process.
People decide whom they're going to
marry using two things: their head and
their heart. In the words of author John
Thomas, it's "a little bit of art and a little
bit of science."
Your head helps you address the prac-
tical matters. Do the two of you have
similar morals and values? Do you have
compatible views on family and parent-
ing? Do your friends and family mem-
bers have any serious reservations
about the other person? Do you both
believe that marriage is a lifelong com-
mitment? These are all things that you
can work out in your head.
Listening to your heart can be more
tricky, but it's just as important. If you're
considering marriage, it's safe to
assume that you already have strong
feelings for your girlfriend. But do you
have peace? Does she share that peace?
I'm not suggesting that you won't
have butterflies. There are plenty of
things about getting married that can
cause stress, even if you're marrying the
right person. But through prayer, intro-
spection and discussion, you both need
to have peace in your hearts that you're
doing the right thing.
The road to marriage is full of emo-
tion. But if your head and your heart can
find agreement on that special person,
there's a good chance you've
found "the one."

After holding worship services in tempo-
rary locations at the Eagles Hall and Otsego
Club for the past two years, Life Church has
purchased a building on Main Street in
downtown Gaylord that for many years was
the communitys movie theater. Pastor
Steven Scheer and the Life Church congrega-
tion hope to have their new worship hall
ready for services by late summer, and interi-
or work is already underway.
This is a wonderful facility right in the
center of downtown and many people have
already stopped by to tell us about the fond
memories they have from the early days
when this was a movie theater, remarks
Pastor Scheer. We are excited about trans-
forming this space into something very wel-
coming and sharp looking. We have put
together a design team from our congrega-
tion and they have some great ideas we hope
to accomplish.
Among those ideas are to refurbish the
lobby and what was once the refreshment
counter in the old theatre, utilize the out-
door marquee for church announcements,
create a space for the youth to utilize, and of
course, renovate the old theater space as a
worship hall.
There are two theater rooms, Scheer
points out, and we will be renovating the
largest of those rooms first, and eventually
knock down the wall between the two the-
ater rooms to create a huge worship space.
Its easy to imagine how the Life Church
congregation will fill those wonderful spaces
with energy, spirit and life. The church was
established nearly two years ago. Life Church
offers a truly unique worship experience. A
celebration of life and the word of God, it is a
service highlighted by the joyful sounds of
live contemporary Christian music, a mes-
sage of the inspiration and impact of the
teachings of Jesus Christ in everyday life, and
the extraordinary fellowship of a congrega-
tion celebrating together in a spirit of com-
munity.
We offer a warm, friendly, energetic and
inviting worship atmosphere, affirms Pastor
Scheer. Our vision is to help people in their
search for Christ and in their everyday walk
with the Lord. We believe God is for us, and
regardless of our past, He wants to live
through us in our daily lives.
Pastor Scheer has a long and celebrated
history in Gaylord area ministry, having been
the Pastor at the Gaylord Community
Church for 30 years prior to establishing Life
Church in 2010. Life Church is seamless con-
tinuation of Pastor Scheers mission of help-
ing people find the reality of Jesus Christ in
their lives. It is an affiliate of Resurrection
Life Church, an organization led by Pastor
Duane Vanderklock that comprises an inter-
national network of churches. The focus is
on teaching the word of God in a practical,
relevant, teaching style that is impacting
lives all around the world.
Certainly the saws will be buzzing and the
hammers pounding throughout the summer
as Life Church prepares their new home on
Main Street in downtown
Gaylord. For updates on the
congregations progress with
the renovation, be sure to
keep an eye on the marquee!

Keep and eye on the marquee! Life Church has recently purchased the for-
mer furniture store and past downtown movie theater in Gaylord, and the
congregation is hoping complete renovations and begin holding services at
their new worship location by the end of the summer.
The largest of the two former theater rooms once thrilled audiences with
popular films of the day. Soon the Life Church congregation will fill this
same room with the excitement of contemporary worship services highlight-
ed by the joyful sounds of live Christian music and a message of the inspira-
tion and impact of the teachings of Jesus Christ in everyday life.

To achieve investment success, you
dont have to start out with a huge sum
or get lucky by picking hot stocks. In
fact, very few people actually travel
those two routes. But in working toward
your investment goals, you need to be
persistent and one of the best ways to
demonstrate that persistence is to
invest automatically.
How do you become an automatic
investor? You simply need to have your
bank automatically move money each
month from a checking or savings
account into the investments of your
choice. When youre first starting out in
the working world, you may not be able
to afford much, but any amount even
if its just $50 or $100 a month will be
valuable. Then, as your career progress-
es and your income rises, you can grad-
ually increase your monthly contribu-
tions.
By becoming an automatic investor,
you can gain some key benefits, includ-
ing these:
Discipline Many people think
about investing but decide to wait until
they have a little extra cash. Before
they realize it, theyve used the money
for other purposes. When you invest
automatically, youre essentially taking a
spending decision out of your hands.
And as you see your accounts grow over
time, your investment discipline will be
self-reinforcing.
Long-term focus Theres never
any shortage of events political
crises, economic downturns, natural
disasters that cause investors to take
a timeout from investing. Yet if you
head to the investment sidelines, even
for a short while, you might miss out on
some good opportunities. By investing
automatically each month, youll main-
tain a long-term focus.
Potential for reduced investment
costs If you invest the same amount
of money each month into the same
investments, youll automatically be a
smart shopper. When prices drop,
your monthly investment will buy more
shares, and when prices rise, youll buy
fewer shares just as youd probably
buy less of anything when prices are
high. Over time, this type of systematic
investment typically results in lower
costs per share. Furthermore, when you
invest systematically, youre less likely to
constantly buy and sell investments in
an effort to boost your returns. This type
of frequent trading is often ineffective
and it can raise your overall investment
costs with potential fees, commissions
and taxes. (Keep in mind, though, that
systematic investing does not guarantee
a profit or protect against loss. Also,
youll need the financial resources avail-
able to keep investing through up and
down markets.)
Clearly, automatic investing offers
some major advantages to you as you
seek to build
wealth. Of course,
if youre contribut-
ing to a 401(k) or
other employer-
sponsored retire-
ment plan, youre
already automati-
cally investing
because money is
taken out of your
paycheck at regular intervals to go
toward the investments youve chosen
in your plan. But by employing auto-
matic investing techniques to other
vehicles, such as an Individual
Retirement Account (IRA), you can con-
tinue your progress toward your long-
term goals, including retirement.
So, do what it takes to become an
automatic investor. Its easy, its smart
and it can help you work toward the
type of future youve envisioned.

Friske's Orchards and Farm Market is
holding 50-year anniversary celebration next
Friday, June 15th, and this locally-owned
family business is inviting the public to stop
by and join the festivities.
The fun will begin at 11 am with a Grand
Ribbon Cutting Ceremony performed by the
Charlevoix Chamber of Commerce followed
by a not-to-be-missed presentation by
Friskes owner, Richard Friske. Friske will
offer and look back at this hallmark business
spanning three generations of family owner-
ship, and provide a glimpse into the future of
the Orchard and Farm Market. The event
will draw area dignitaries, including State
Representative Greg MacMaster, local
Chamber of Commerce and area business
leaders, and regional broadcast media cover-
age from WTCM radio and 9 & 10 News.
While hearing about Friske Orchards and
Farm Markets accomplishments over the
last half-century is certainly enticing, the
opportunity to taste the wonderful array of
farm fresh produce and delicious baked
goods is impossible to resist.
We will be offering lots of tastings of our
handcrafted products, states Heidi Friske-
Drost, including fresh strawberries, cider
and our award-winning pie.
Fiskes legendary Michigan cherry pie was
voted Red Hot Best of 2012 by Traverse
Magazine. Lets see; Northern Michigan
Friskes Orchard and Farm Market
Michigan Cherry Piewhat could be a more
inviting way to enjoy an early summer after-
noon up north?
Other events during Friskes 50th
Celebration next Friday will include a talk by
founder; Grandma (Olga) Friske, and live
music by Traverse Citys renowned Cherry
Blossom Ramblers during the afternoon.
Plan for a great time next Friday, June
15th, learning about this amazing Northern
Michigan family-owned business, chatting
with Grandma Friske, tasting some delicious
handcrafted product, and tapping your toes
to some wonderful live music. Reminisce,
laugh and enjoy at Friskes 50th anniversary
celebration.
If you think teen girls only talk about clothes, shopping
and boys; these local girls will change your mind. The close-
knit friends who attend Petoskey Middle School discuss
everything from books to the Holocaust to women's rights.
Recently they gathered at the Safe Home operated by the
Womens Resource Center of Northern Michigan (WRCNM)
to donate cash and personal care items for survivors of
domestic abuse.
The donation is the result of a no-gift birthday party for
one of the friends in the group, Meg Wilson. The girls had all
decided it would be a great idea to forego traditional birth-
day gifts for something more meaningful. The idea got these
energetic and articulate young women thinking about how
they could make a further difference; one that might help
women and girls dealing with gender inequality, sexism, and
even domestic abuse, sexual assault and dating violence.
So what's a girl to do? They plan to move forward with an
organization called, "The Women of the Future, Helping the
Women of Today." One of their goals is to build awareness of
the group and encourage other students to participate. They
also aim to heighten awareness in the student population of
every day attitudes, actions and behaviors that work to
devalue girls worth, such as demeaning jokes and com-
ments. The girls said even something as seemingly harmless
as moving womens rights books to the fiction section, which
happened in their own middle school library, subtly con-
tributes to the wide spread problem of gender discrimina-
tion. Wilson and her friends also commented on the habit of
some middle school boys who yell to female students, Make
me a sandwich, because the boys feel its a traditional
womans job the girls need to learn. Although it is belittling
and puts limits on contributions the young women may
make to society; the girls think it is not really registering with
the boys.
With maturity beyond their years, the
girls understand how ingrained these atti-
tudes are in our society and in their own
school. They are intuitive enough to realize
they have become desensitized to many of
the everyday messages we are all exposed
to that degrade women. At Petoskey High
School, next fall, these freshmen girls
would like to work with school administra-
tors on finding a place for the group to
meet during lunch or after school. Other
students who want to join the group will be
asked to sign a pledge to uphold womens
rights and speak out against actions and
behaviors that demean, belittle or embar-
rass women and girls. They plan to explore
current issues students grapple with like
bullying, equality, popularity, conformity
and how both girls and boys are portrayed
in society. They will also hold fundraisers
for women's-related causes
If this sounds like an all-girls club, think
again. These insightful teens know that
boy students have an important role to
play in changing sexist attitudes. They are
also concerned that boys are just as affect-
ed by cultural norms as girls, norms that
require boys to keep their emotions in check, be tough, excel
at sports and conform to society's definition of masculinity.
This summer the group intends to work on a more formal
plan, do some fundraising and contact school administrators
to determine how this worthwhile endeavor will best fit with-
in the school setting in the coming school year.
EARS ELEBRATION
to be held at Friskes Orchards next Friday!
Three generations of leadership have guided Friske Orchards and Farm Market
through a half-century of operation. From left; Heidi Friske-Drost, Olga (Grandma)

in Vanderbilt this Saturday
By Jim Akans
Theres an extraordinary new restau-
rant and tavern located just south of
Vanderbilt on Old US 27 North. Rascal
Jakks; the former home of the White
Wolf Inn, was purchased by Gary and
Mary Wagner just over a year ago, and
drawing upon Garys construction back-
ground, an extensive renovation project
was pursued over the next 12 months.
The result is welcoming, elegantly rus-
tic restaurant and tavern setting offer-
ing a wide, and incredibly delicious
menu selection featuring lots of tanta-
lizing home-made items.
Rascal Jakks offers a wide appeal,
states Gary Wagner. We have a warm,
friendly atmosphere, excellent service,
and our menu selections have some-
thing to appeal to every appetite. That
includes many homemade items, such
as soups, salads, desserts, dinner rolls
and even specially made mesquite bar-
beque chips. We also offer daily lunch
specials, senior discounts, and we work
hard to ensure our customers have a
satisfying visit so they will want to come
back again and again.
This coming Saturday afternoon and
evening, June 9th, Rascal Jakks is hold-
ing a Grand Opening celebration
eventand this is the perfect time to
stop by and check out this exceptional
establishment. The event is part of a
daylong fundraiser for Adopt-a-Pet in
conjunction with Family Video, which
will begin with a motorcycle ride from
Gaylord to Kalkaska, ending up at Rascal
Jakks for an outdoor barbeque starting
at 4 pm followed by live musical enter-
tainment by Gary Wagner and the Exit
282 band in the evening.
Gary relates, Exit 282 band member
Mark Millers daughter, Katie, was killed
in an automobile accident in Kalkaska
about a year and a half ago. She was a
passionate advocate of the Adopt-a-Pet
program, so we have teamed up with
Family Video in order to help raise funds
for that organization.
While the barbeque picnic at Rascal
Jakks this Saturday, which will include
smoked boneless pork, baked beans,
corn on the cob, and a selection of sal-
ads, will be offered free of charge
attendees are encouraged to offer a
donation to the fundraiser and all pro-
ceeds after expenses will be donated to
Adopt-a-Pet.
The live music and excitement in store
at Rascal Jakks Grand Opening event
this Saturday is just a sample of the fun
offered at this new restaurant and tav-
ern throughout the year. Live music is
presented every Saturday night, Karaoke
on Friday nights, and acoustic enter-
tainment on Sunday afternoons. During
summer months, Wednesday evening is
Bike Night, and Gary hope to offer
some classic car show events this sum-
mer as well.
He states, We truly have something
for everyone here at Rascal Jakks. Great
food; from pizza to prime rib, a wide
array of live musical entertainment, top-
notch service, and an inviting and
friendly atmosphere. The word is get-
ting outpeople are discovering Rascal
Jakks.
Rascal Jakks is located at 6461 Old 27
North. Hours are noon to 10 pm
Monday through Thursday, noon to 2
am Friday and Saturday, and from noon
to 9 pm on Sunday. For additional
information, call (989) 966-2600.

Northwest Michigan Community Action
Agency Offers Home Buyer Education
Workshops to New Homeowners
It might surprise many people to find out
that June is the celebration of National
Homeownership Month. Given the unstable
economy, most people are thinking that this
is the worst time to buy a home. But that
couldnt be further from the truth.
Right now, the houses are still at an all
time low prices. Northwest Michigan
Community Action Agency (NMCAA) is dedi-
cated to making a homebuyers dream come
true.
NMCAA is a one-stop agency for your free
financial fitness, homebuyer and homeown-
ership needs, says Karen Emerson, manager
of NMCAAs Financial Management Services.
Whether you are interested in developing a
workable spending and savings plan, getting
out of debt, understanding and improving
your credit report, buying a home, getting
out of debt or planning for your financial
future, you can get assistance for all this and
more at NMCAA.
NMCAA, a non-profit serving a 10-county
service area for over 30 years through hous-
ing, senior nutrition, head start and weather-
ization programs, conducts free homebuyer
education and financial workshops at all
three office locations (Traverse City, Cadillac,
Petoskey) throughout the year. They focus
on teaching clients how to navigate the steps
involved in mortgage management, home
shopping, budgeting, credit repair and infor-
mation about banks and lending institu-
tions. For more information, call (231) 947-
3780 or (800) 632-7334 or visit

By Dave Baragrey
As we begin a new year you can make a dif-
ference in our local economy. Make a com-
mitment to shop at stores owned and operat-
ed by your neighbors.
The benefits of shopping at stores owned
by locals are well documented by research.
Studies done by economists show that:
When you spend $100 at a locally owned
business $62 stays in our community.
When you spend $100 at a national chain
$42 stays in our community.
When you spend $100 on-line $0 stays in
our community.
These figures alone should convince you of
the benefit of shopping at independently
owned local businesses but there is so much
more. Spending at a locally owned business
leads to better schools, better roads and local
support of community charities and
fundraisers.
Studies also show that local, independently
owned businesses paid higher wages and
used more local goods and services stretch-
ing that local dollar even further.
In yet another reason for consumers to
consider shopping locally, new research
reveals that successful small businesses are
helping bolster sagging real estate markets in
some communities.
That's the finding of the American Express
Open Independent Retail Index, which found
that neighborhoods with thriving independ-
ent businesses saw home values outperform
citywide markets by 50 percent over the last
14 years.
The report specifically studied 27 neigh-
borhoods where small businesses have
thrived in 15 major U.S. cities, concluding
that home values there outperformed their
broader markets.
In addition, when you shop at independ-
ently owned businesses you will often deal
with the owner of the business. Their knowl-
edge of the product or service and their con-
cern to see you leave as a happy customer
will usually result in a very pleasant shopping
experience.
If consumers would simply look for the
opportunity to shift a portion of their spend-
ing from on-line businesses to locally owned
businesses it could make a difference in our
region of Northern Michigan.
Make 2012 the year you make the effort to
make a difference. Make the decision to move
10% of your spending to independently
owned businesses. The elegance of the 10
percent shift right now is that it doesnt ask
people to expand their budgets and spend
more. It asks people to be more conscious
about where they spend what theyve already
budgeted for.

Volunteers distribute funds to local
health and human service programs
Char-Em United Way is pleased to announce a wide range
of Community Investments to help support effective health
and human service programs in Charlevoix and Emmet
Counties in the coming year. The programs focus on meet-
ing the communitys needs for Education, Income and
Health.
A total of $287,740 will be invested in a variety of programs
and initiative that will have a direct impact on the lives of
tens of thousands of Charlevoix and Emmet County resi-
dents. Nearly $205,000 will go to 28 programs of local organ-
izations which submitted grant requests. An additional
$36,500 in designated donations will be passed on to specific
agencies. The United Way Board also set aside approximate-
ly $31,000 in an Emerging Needs Fund for allocation later in
the year and $15,000 to be invested in United Ways Initiative
programs.
Char-Em United Ways Community Investments are 10%
greater than last year, said Therese Green, Chair of United
Ways Allocation Committee. We are very pleased to be in a
position to provide so much funding to such a wide variety
of local programs.
The increased investment was made possible through the
generosity of the community which helped Char-Em United
Way exceed its ambitious campaign goal by over 5%. A
Campaign Celebration Breakfast is planned for Thursday
June 14 at O zone, the Nightclub, at the Odawa Casino.
Each year, the United Way Board reviews current commu-
nity needs and sets funding priorities. Non-profit agencies
submit applications, along with extensive information about
their program impact and financial status. Over the past
several years, Char-Em United Way has become more strate-
gic about identifying priority needs and outcomes for its
funding.
We can ensure our donors that there is a tremendous
amount of accountability in how we invest their funds to
meet community needs, says Martha Lancaster, Executive
Director. In the old days, United Way funding was at best a
pass-through and at worst an entitlement. This is no longer
the case. With community need increasing, our investors
demand results from the funds they donate.
Char-Em United Way asks its volunteer Citizen Review
Panel to analyze the best way to invest the support of over
2,000 donors to its annual campaign. The 35 volunteers
weighed the impact made by each of the agency programs
against the requests made by those organizations, the pool
of available funds, and overall community needs. Perhaps
the most time-intensive for the volunteers were the agency
panel presentations where organizations presented informa-
tion about their programs and Citizen Review Panel volun-
teers had the opportunity to ask questions.
The volunteers take their role very seriously and expect
accountability from our funded partners for the support that
United Way provides, continued Lancaster.
The panels submitted their recommendations to the
United Way Board of Directors which made final decisions
on May 10.
For more information on how you can support your com-
munity through the United Way or to make a reservation for
the Celebration Breakfast, please contact them at 231-487-
1006 or info@charemunitedway.org or visit www.charemu-
nitedway.org or become a fan of Char-Em United Ways

The librarys childrens chess program,
The Chess Gang, held its final Family
Chess Night of the 2011/12 school year on
Tuesday, May 22. Fifteen kids participated in
a 3-round chess tournament that included
Swiss pairings (much like the NCAA basket-
ball tournament where players are seeded
and the top seeds play the lowest seeds).
This event was the seventh of the 2011/12
school year and the Chess Gang's mentor,
Robert Bemben, reported that nearly all of
the matches took the full half hour allowed
to complete their matches as opposed to the
5-10 minutes that it took at the first event
last October.
Players competed for prizes that included
a chess clock provided by Rocking Horse Toy
Company and gift certificates from Horizon
Books and Roast and Toast. Apples, bottled
water and energy bars were provided by
Oleson's, while "consolation" prizes were
provided in the form of certificates for ice
cream cones from Bob-In Again and The
Corner Store in Petoskey. MANY THANKS to
these supportive businesses!
The results of the tournament are as fol-
lows: First place went to Christian Duran
(Chess clock) with 3 points, second place to
Landon Brantly (Horizon Gift certificate)
with 2-1/2 points, while third place resulted
in a three way tie among Alex Bemben,
Hailey Tanis and Joel Struck, all with 2
points. each. A blind drawing was held for
the Roast and Toast gift certificate and was
claimed by Hailey.
Every player won at least one match with
Sean McCloskey, Tyler Parks and Aiden Tanis
claiming 1-1/2 points. each, John McCloskey,
Klaas Boerman and Joel Dubey, Caleb Dubey
1 point. each and Gabriel Kruger and Derk
Boerman claiming 1/2 pt. each.
PDLs Chess Gang met every Monday from
3:30-5:00 p.m. p.m. in the Childrens Program
Room at the library and the group was men-
tored by Robert Bemben of Levering. The
Chess Gang program has now concluded for
the season and will not meet again until the
fall.
The librarys Elementary and Teen Readers
Theatre groups have also concluded their
regular Monday and Tuesday evening meet-
ings. They will begin again after school
starts in the fall. Members of both groups
will be offering a performance at the
Downtown Petoskey Spring Open House at
6:30 p.m. in the basement of the Carnegie
Building.
Petoskey area preschoolers and their parents will have the
opportunity to participate in their own version of the 2012
Summer Library Program, at the Petoskey District Library
(PDL). The Sign-up Period is from now to Saturday, June 9 in
the Children's Room of the library during regular library
hours.
This summer's program will loosely tie in the statewide
theme of Dream BIGREAD! All participants will receive a
reading record/program pamphlet, Every Child Ready to
Read brochure, bookmark and sticker when they sign up.
Everyone who records 5 books will receive a participation
certificate. When 20 books have been shared, a special stick-
er will be added to the certificate and the preschoolers who
achieve this goal will receive a book bag with some small
surprises inside.
In addition, children and parents who reach the program
goal of recording 32 books and 8 early literacy activities will
have their names entered in a prize drawing that will be held
during mid-August and the parents will receive a completion
certificate. Books and activities may be recorded until July
31.
Area businesses or groups may donate prizes for the pro-
gram by calling Ron Fowler at the library (758-3123).
The programming will be centered around the librarys
regular Babies and Books, Parent/Child Lap Sits for chil-
dren under three years old, a Preschool Story Hour for three
through five year olds and the Saturdays Child Story Time
for three through seven year-olds. Will be offered this sum-
mer. The Parent/Child Lap Sit programs will occur every
Monday and Thursday at 10:30 a.m., the Preschool Story
Hours are every Thursday, 11:30 a.m. and the Saturdays
Child Story Time begins at 12:30 p.m. on Saturdays. All of
these programs will begin the week of June 4 and run
through July 26 in the Childrens Program Room at the
library. The Books and Babies class is for non-walkers and
runs on Tuesday s from 1:30-2:00 p.m. in the Basement
Meeting Room of the library for five consecutive weeks
beginning on July 24. The class is limited to 10 babies and a
parent or care giver. Those wishing to participate must sign
up by 7:00 p.m. on Monday, July 23.
More mature Three to five year olds will also enjoy the
Once Upon a Puppet, Magician Jeff Warzaszek, the Acting Up
Theatre Company, the Organization for Bat Conservation
programs and some of the movies that are scheduled. A
Buy One Get One Free Book Fair" will also be held July 27th
through August 5th. A calendar for these events will be avail-
able soon in Childrens Room and on the librarys website
www.petoskeylibrary.org, click Youth Services, then the
Preschool button. All events have or will soon be posted to
the Events Calendar at the librarys web site.
"The Early Literacy program is for children who have not
attended kindergarten yet," said Ron Fowler, PDLs Youth
Services Librarian, "they will need help from their parents or
another important big person. Well provide handouts that
provide lots of suggestions for building early literacy skills at
each developmental level. I do want to make it clear that
older nonreaders may still be read to as part of the elemen-
tary-age program that will begin on Monday, June 4th.
All activities are free to children who have signed up for
the program (a valid PDL card is required). The Baby classes,
Parent/Child LapSits and story times are free to the public,
though the library does request a donation from those peo-
ple who do not have a PDL card. Youth Services Staff require
that a parent or some other responsible adult be present at
all activities in order to assist their children.
Complete information about the program may be
obtained during the Sign-up Period at the library (children
may sign up at any time during the program, but it is most
helpful to the planning process if as many as possible sign
up during that time frame).
Sign-up for the elementary and Young Adult programs will
begin on Monday, June 4th; more information about these
programs will be forthcoming. Questions about library
hours and programs may be answered by phoning youth
services staff at the library at 231-758-3112 or by visiting the
web site at www.petoskeylibrary.org.

Health & Wellness
By Charles Hammond
Weve all felt it. That first twinge in the back
or stiffness of the knee that means that, like it
or not, were not as young as we used to be.
Unfortunately, these days people are feeling
those twinges at younger and younger ages,
thanks to our ever more sedentary lifestyle.
Whether youre a school age kid without a phys
education program and with a Twinkie habit,
or a baby boomer who goes from couch to car
to desk to car to couch again, most Americans
need to get up and move. And when those
twinges, aches and pains become so severe
that they start to affect your quality of life, you
probably need to look into some professional
physical therapy.
Naturally, the first thing you need to do is
consult your doctor. Perhaps youre actually
not a couch potato but a weekend warrior
whose knee gave out while coaching soccer. Or
maybe youre a senior citizen who isnt willing
to accept limited mobility as a consequence of
growing old. No matter what your situation,
your doctor should be your first stop. Hell
probably recommend an MRI of the affected
area, and perhaps will be able to provide a
referral to a reputable physical therapist. Or
try contacting the American Physical Therapy
Association at or at www.apta.org. Not only
can they help you find a member therapist in
your area, but also sell a book of Body
Maintenance and Repair that tells you every-
thing you need to know about keeping your
body in peak physical condition.
Physical therapy is used to help treat a wide
variety of ailments and injuries. There are
physical therapy specialties in everything from
cardiovascular health to pediatrics, womens
health issues, oncology and geriatrics. Physical
therapy can be recommended for treatment
after an injury, as a way of improving circula-
tion, as part of recovering from surgery, as part
of ongoing treatment for osteoarthritis or
osteoporosis. Whereas the common wisdom
concerning joint pain and reduced mobility,
particularly for women, used to be a variation
on youre just getting old, advances in physi-
cal therapy and exercise physiology have
proven that the right program of exercises or
treatments recommended by a
physical therapist can improve
or even reverse some of the ill
effects of aging.
Physical therapy in some
cases is recommended as an
alternative to surgery. For
example, with some damaged
or frayed components of
knees or elbows, strengthen-
ing the surrounding muscled
through a course of physical therapy can be an
alternative to surgery. Though, if you have a
severe pain in your knees, back or other joints,
dont just assume you can walk it off.
Consulting a licensed physical therapist will
provide you with the proper exercises you need
to do to help alleviate, not worsen, your prob-
lem. With the wide availability of gym mem-
berships, physical therapists now have more
and more to work with in terms of being able
to recommend specialized equipment or envi-
ronments. For example, walking in shallow
water provides low impact resistance where
putting weight on an injury might cause severe
pain or further damage.
A full course of physical therapy, depending
upon the initial problem, will often include ele-
ments of other disciplines, from massage to
chiropractics, as well as things like yoga,
Alexander technique (posture exercises) and
even ultrasound. Physical therapy has also
shown itself to be useful in treating things you
might not think of like headaches, neurological
disorders and many other types of chronic
pain. And physical therapy, while not inexpen-
sive, can cost far less than more drastic surgical
measures. Physical therapy can have psycho-
logical benefits as well, particularly if youre
someone unused to exercise, physical therapy
can open a whole new world of care of and
respect for your body and how it works.
As with all medical treatment, spend some
time researching physical therapist and physi-
cal therapy centers in your area and find one
which you feel comfortable with and dont feel
uncomfortable asking for references. Most
physical therapy centers accept Medicare and
other insurance, but check with your carrier to
make sure that your treatment is covered and if
you must have a doctors referral to qualify.
And of course, check with your local Better
Business Bureau, AMA Chapter and other pro-
fessional organizations to make sure youre get-
ting the best and safest professional treatment
available.

Advances on Physical therapy can treat
Various injuries
Even if you have a condition as severe as a torn ligament you may be able to
choose physical therapy as an alternative to surgery. Even though weve
become a nation of couch potatoes, weve also made tremendous advances
in sports medicine. Thats what allows that football player you saw in agony
at last weeks game to score the winning touchdown this weekend. Advances
in physical therapy for athletes benefit you as well. In fact, if youve been
diagnosed with knee, elbow or other joint problems, or even something like
carpal tunnel syndrome (the bane of computer jocks) you might want to seek
out a sports medicine center to get yourself back in the game.

Studies report that about 1 in 3 Americans,
or around 65 million of us, suffers from some
form of high blood pressure (also called hyper-
tension.) Since high blood pressure is one of
the chief precursors of heart attack and stroke,
the medical profession is paying more atten-
tion than ever to even moderately elevated
blood pressure. However, one of the problems
with high blood pressure is that in most cases,
theres no direct cause doctors can point to and
therefore no magic bullet to cure it. You can,
however, have your blood pressure checked
regularly to help manage conditions like dia-
betes and high cholesterol, which along with
high blood pressure vastly increase your risk of
heart attack, stroke and kidney failure.
Though there are a variety of drugs that you
can take to help control high blood pressure,
unless the problem is severe, most doctors will
initially recommend lifestyle changes like diet
and exercise to see if you can control your
blood pressure on your own. With the cost of
medication these days, its well worth taking on
and meeting the challenge. Obesity can, of
course, exacerbate the effects of high blood
pressure, and in many cases even a loss of ten
percent of your body weight can have some
positive effect on your blood pressure readings.
If you are overweight and have high blood
pressure, losing weight is of course the number
one priority and of course second to that is
exercise. Daily exercise can not only help lower
your blood pressure but help strengthen your
heart and circulatory system, as well as help
you rid your body of excess salt and fluids. If
you are attempting to lower your blood pres-
sure through lifestyle changes alone, remember
to set up regular doctors appointments to
monitor your progress, and if possible keep a
journal of your diet and exercise program, so
the doctor can see what youve been eating and
doing and make recommendations for increas-
ing the effectiveness of your program.
As part of losing weight, there are also cer-
tain things in your diet that can contribute to
the negative effects of high blood pressure.
Perhaps the most well known of these is salt,
and blood pressure patients have often been
put on low salt or no salt diets. If you have
high blood pressure, even if youre not a salt-a-
holic, its a good idea to reduce your salt intake
as much as possible. This is less difficult than
you might think; if you follow the theory that
basically what youre looking for when you salt
your food is an increase in flavor. So try substi-
tuting low salt products made up of herbs and
spices for salt, as well as reducing the number
of salty snacks you consume. Also, if youre the
cook in the family, never salt food while cook-
ing, even the water for pasta, but let people
add their own salt if they want it. Youll be sur-
prised at how much salt consumption this sim-
ple method cuts out.
Another blood pressure killer is cholesterol.
In general the bad kind that comes from sat-
urated fats, red meats, egg yolks, butter and
high fat dairy products, etc. Not only are these
things high in calories, but also are high in the
LDL or bad cholesterol that can collect on
the walls of the arteries,
restricting blood flow and
leading to potential heart
attack or stroke. By contrast,
HDL cholesterol the kind of
cholesterol found in certain
fish oils, etc. is credited with
helping carry away a certain
amount of bad cholesterol
and helping prevent heart attacks. What most
people dont realize is that your body also pro-
duces cholesterol, in fact, all the cholesterol
your system needs to function, and thats why
eating excess cholesterol can be so dangerous
to your circulatory health. The American Heart
Association recommends that 300 mg is the
limit. Thats also why the Mediterranean diet,
a diet high in olive oil, fish, fruits and vegeta-
bles and whole grains. In other words, the good
cholesterol and transfatty acids has been
shown to be one which is in general heart
healthy. Finally, reducing alcohol consumption
and quitting smoking have been shown to help
reduce high blood pressure as well as the likeli-
hood of heart attack or stroke.

Graduation was held for a total of 35 students who attended
morning or afternoon classes of Project FREE preschool, a state-
funded school readiness program for four year olds operated by
the Womens Resource Center of Northern Michigan (WRCNM).
During the ceremony students proudly donned graduation hats,
listened to a story about the graduation of Clifford the Big Red
Dog, sang a Zoophonics song, received diplomas and shared
cake with family and friends. Project FREE preschool helps stu-
dents build social and academic skills through a variety of activ-
ities and educational programming to ensure a smooth transi-
tion into kindergarten and elementary school. The preschool
employs two lead teachers, Sara McVannel (left, standing in
back) and Shelley Troup (right, seated on floor) who have ele-
mentary education degrees with early childhood endorsements,
and one teaching assistant, Trista Cady. For more information

The Otsego County Literacy
Council is offering a new fam-
ily literacy program aimed at
educating and empowering
parents and caregivers so they
can help children become
confident, successful readers.
Funded through a grant from
the Otsego County United
Way, the Dream Big, Read
Together program will kick-
off with an information open
house from 11am until 2 pm
on June 21st at the Otsego
County Library, followed by a
series of six weekly programs
every Thursday from June
28th through August 2nd.
Reading development
begins at home, and children
become active language learn-
ers when they interact with
adults who know how to make
the experience meaningful
and fun. While participating
together in activities based on
the fundamental building
blocks of reading, parents or
caregivers learn practical
ideas to become instrumental
in their childs education. The activities are
designed for children grades K-2, but siblings
of all ages are welcome.
Weve always offered summer reading pro-
grams for children, but this program involves
adults and children learning together, says
Library Director Maureen Derenzy. Children
who have positive early reading experiences
grow into life-long readers, which helps them
succeed in whatever they choose.
Weekly sessions revolve
around four activity stations
demonstrating hands-on read-
ing techniques, with take-
home sheets to reinforce the
information presented. Free
lunch will be provided for all
family members. Training
hours for any state-certified
daycare provider have also
been approved. Weekly pro-
grams will take place at the
First Congregational Church.
Otsego County United Way
is excited to be supporting the
Literacy Councils Family
Reading Program. National
research shows that children
regress during school breaks
and we want to help minimize
the loss in reading skills. If
children can read at grade
level by third grade, they have
a greater likelihood of gradu-
ating high school, which in
turn leads to the ability of
finding a better paying job
says Lorraine Manary,
Executive Director of the
Otsego County United Way.
The Otsego County Library
is also continuing its drop-in
early literacy programs
throughout the summer
months with Toddler Time
from 9-9:45 am and Story
Skills for ages 3-5 from 10-11
am every Thursday.
For more information on
the Family Reading Program
persons should contact Jackie
Skinner at (989) 731-0680 or
email jskinner@otsego.org.
