Its a bit like an
Irish New Year, and
one of the most
anticipated annual
events for those hav-
ing any level of Irish
heritage, as well as those who
love to go green at least one
very special day each year. St.
Patricks Day arrives this Sunday,
March 17th, and throughout the
coming weekend, the festivities
will abound like a never-ending
field of clover, with celebrants
easy to spot as most will certain-
ly be wearing at least of touch of
green.
A patron saint of Ireland, the
hero of St. Patricks Day, St.
Patrick himself, was actually
born Maewyn Succat, the son of
a wealthy landowner, in Britain
somewhere around 385 AD. He
was captured by pirates and
taken to Ireland during his
impressionable mid-teens, and
spent several years in slavery
herding sheep.
Maewyn returned to Ireland
when he was in his 30s and
became a bishop, adopting the
Latin name Patricius, later
shortened to Patrick. St. Patrick

National Ag Week
and Ag Day,
celebrate American Agriculture
photo by ChArles JArmAn
By Jim Akans
While their labor and products benefit
every one of us each day of the year, this
coming week, March 17th through the
23rd is set aside as a time for national
recognition of the American farmer. It is
National Ag Week, and within that week
the 40th annual celebration of National
Agriculture Day will take place on March
19th. During this time, the Agriculture
Council of America will be hold two full
days of events at our nations Capitol cel-
ebrating American agriculture, and
across the country, educators, organiza-
tions, business and community leaders
will be making a special effort to recog-
nize the importance of agriculture in our
everyday life.
Agriculture here in Michigan is the
second largest industry, generating over
$71.3 billion a year and employing more
than 1 million people. It is a booming
sector of our economy that can easily go
unnoticed, yet directly affects our fami-
lies on a daily basis. The farm lies at the
root of the Agricultural industry, though
the trend over the past several decades
shows farms being consolidated into
large corporate entities. The 2007
Michigan census showed that nearly 80
percent of farms in our state were less
than 180 acres, and only 3.5 percent were

The Little Traverse Association of Home
Builders (LTAHB) will be presenting their
37th annual Home Show & Expo this coming
weekend, March 15th and 16th, at the North
Central Michigan College Student Activity
Center. The show will run from 2 to 8 pm on
Friday, and from 10 am until 6 pm on
Saturday. This annual event has become a
very popular destination for those looking to
build, remodel or simply peruse ideas for
their home. Last year, over 2,200 attendees
visited during the two-day event.
The home is one the biggest investments a
person will make in their lifetime. It will not
only take a sizable chunk of change from the
family pocketbook over the years, it is also a
place that will harbor countless memories,
family conversations, gatherings and meals,
relaxing afternoons and evenings in front of
the television or fireplace, and serve as the
launching pad for accomplishments that
take place out in the great, big world. The
Home Show & Expo is an excellent opportu-
nity to check out the latest products and
services for enhancing the home that are
available from area suppliers and contrac-
torsall in one convenient location.
Attendees also have a chance to win
Home Show Bucks gift certificates, which
are drawn every hour and can be redeemed
at exhibitor businesses after the show. Many
of the exhibitors at the show also offer
demonstrations, seminars, and product give-
aways.
This Home Show event is being sponsored
by the Little Traverse Association of Home
Builders (LTAHB), and the exhibitors at the
show will include builders and remodelers,
suppliers of products and services, appliance
providers, as well as green or sustainable
building and energy efficien-
cy experts who can help you
improve your space to meet
your needs. With so many
vendors in one place rather
than driving across Northern
Michigan to visit each ven-
dor location, the Home Show
event is also an efficient and
green way for consumers
to shop for their new home
construction or current
home remodeling needs.
Admission to the Northern
Michigan Regional Home
Show is $5 per family, $3 per
individual, and $2 for seniors
65 years of age and older. For
additional information visit
the Little Traverse
Association of Home
Builders website at

time Mercy Hospital Grayling has been rec-
ognized with this honor.
In addition to being named as a 100 Top
Hospital, Mercy Hospital Grayling has also
been named as a 100 Top Hospital Everest
Award winner, an honor given to only 17 of
the 100 hospitals. This prestigious award is
given to the hospitals that have achieved all
the benchmarks required to become a 100
Top Hospital for the year and simultaneously
set national benchmarks for the fastest long-
term improvement. Mercy Hospital Grayling
is the first hospital to EVER receive the
Everest Award in the first year it has made
the 100 Top Hospitals list.
I am thrilled to receive this prestigious
honor for the first time in our 102 year histo-
ry. This achievement is a true reflection of
our quality journey in providing the highest
quality healthcare to our patients in the
safest, patient-centered environment. I
believe our focus and commitment to pro-
viding an exceptional health care experience
has set us apart from other hospitals and has
led us to become a 100 Top Hospital, said
Stephanie Riemer-Matuzak, Mercy Hospital
Grayling CEO.
To conduct the 100 Top Hospitals study,
Truven Health researchers evaluated 2,922
short-term, acute care, non-federal hospi-
tals. They used public information
Medicare cost reports, Medicare Provider
Analysis and Review (MedPAR) data, and
core measures and patient satisfaction data
from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) Hospital Compare website.
Hospitals do not apply, and winners do not
pay to market this honor. The winning hos-
pitals were announced in the February 25
edition of Modern Healthcare magazine.
The winners of the 100 Top Hospitals
award have driven the national benchmarks
higher every year for 20 years. This years
winners have brought even higher value to
their local communities - better quality,
higher efficiency and high patient percep-
tions of care, while confronting the chal-
lenges of massive industry-wide transforma-
tion to implement healthcare reform, said
Jean Chenoweth, senior vice president at
Truven Health Analytics. The key to success
in a tumultuous environment is visionary
leadership that develops and maintains a
hospital-wide culture of excellence that cuts
across everything, from patient care to
housekeeping to administration, and the
refusal to rest on laurels when it comes to
adopting new technologies and techniques. I
congratulate this years winners for their per-
sistent drive for excellence.
If all Medicare inpatients received the
same level of care as those treated in the
award-winning facilities:
More than 164,000 additional lives could
be saved.
Approximately 82,000 additional patients
could be complication free.
More than $6 billion could be saved.
The average patient stay would decrease
by nearly half a day.
If the same standards were applied to all
inpatients, the impact would be even greater.

100 Top Hospitals research is available at

New stories updated daily on-line at www.weeklychoice.com
is said to have used the three-leafed clover,
or shamrock, to symbolize the concept of the
holy trinity in his ministry. St. Patrick is
believed to have passed away on March 17th
in the year 461 AD, and thus it is on the
occasion of his death that St. Patricks Day is
celebrated each year.
Among the many legends attributed to St.
Patrick is that he drove snakes out of Ireland,
an act refuted by modern science. However,
its the fabled four-leaf clover, also known as
a shamrock, which has put much of the
green into St. Patricks Day over the years.
The image of the precious shamrock was
widely popularized to baby boomers in
America by Lucky the Leprechaun, who
first appeared on childrens cereal boxes back
in 1963. Children pursued Lucky who
lamented they were always after me Lucky
Charms, a sugar and grain version of his pot
o gold; consisting of magically delicious
stars, moons, hearts and especially hard to
find green clovers, or shamrocks
Now there never was an actual Shamrock
plant, it is a word with roots in the Irish
seamrog which means little clover.
Clover there is plenty of, with hundreds of
varieties, though the true Irish Shamrock
as identified by Nathaniel Colgan in the late
1800s, is the Trifolium repens, a creeping
White Clover.
Not green?
Well no, the flower is white, but the famil-
iar leaf is as green as the Emerald Isle itself.
This particular species was held in high
esteem by the early Celts of Wales, and rep-
resented a charm against evil spirits. Three-
leaf shamrocks from St. Patricks times have
sprouted into the lucky four-leaf clover vari-
ety much sought after today. They are con-
sidered a symbol of good
luck and good fortune that
according to some estimates
can be found only once
among 10,000 of the regular
three-leaf brand choking off
the grass in many a lawn.
Blue is another color in St.
Patricks lore. According to
legend, St. Patrick preferred
blue as the color of his vest-
ments. Green actually didnt
become associated with St.
Patricks Day until the 19th
century. In early Ireland,
green was the imagined
color of fairies and immor-
tals, and was used by farmers
to encourage crops to grow.
Today, green is everywhere
on St. Patricks Day. We have
green beer, green hair, green
water in the Chicago River,
green clothing worn some-
where on the body to keep
from getting pinched, and of
course, green shamrocks.
So grab some green and
enjoy the luck of the Irish
this St. Patricks Day. As one
popular Irish saying pro-
claims: Anyone acquainted
with Ireland knows that St.
Patrick's Day consists of the
night of the seventeenth of
March flavored strongly with
the morning of the eigh-
teenth.
Be safe, and have a won-
derful St. Patricks Day.

Four Seasons Resale of the North has
recently opened at their new location at 1182
B South Otsego Avenue, right next to the
Gaylord Sears store and across the street
from K-Mart. This new location offers
expanded space, expanded inventory, and
expanded convenient store-side parking for
the stores growing legion of regular and first
time shoppers.
Our focus continues to be on providing
an upbeat shopping atmosphere, states
owner, Terie Rogers. We offer a very per-
sonalized, interactive shopping experience
for our customers. If they dont happen to
find what they are looking for, we will keep
an eye out for those specific items when
searching for future inventory.
Its hard to imagine not finding just what
you may be looking for among the huge vari-
ety of items throughout the shops approxi-
mately 3,000 square feet of display area.
Those display areas are nicely organized into
separate rooms for adult and childrens
clothing, a household furniture and acces-
sories area, a library hall with books, CDs
and DVDs, plus a general display area with
even more furniture, artwork, tools, camping
and sporting gear and more. There are also
two restroom/dressing rooms, and even a
sitting room with a television where people
can relax while others in their group are
shopping.
We offer our customers a very organized,
detail oriented shopping experience,
affirms Rogers. Our goal is to make shop-
ping at Four Seasons Resale of the North as
easy and enjoyable as possible. I look for
items for our store that are of good quality,
which I can purchase and have a small mark
up, and still offer to my customers at an
exceptional value.
And the values at Four Seasons Resale of
the North are truly a bargain hunters dream.
Examples include a wide selection of jeans
and pants starting at just $2.50 each hard-
cover books starting at $1.50 and softcover
books starting at 75-cents.
While consignment sales are not offered,
Rogers notes that item donations are always
graciously accepted and she will consider
pick-up for those items within a 50-mile
radius of the store. The shop also accepts
credit cards for orders over $15.
As of November 1st, five-percent of sales
profits at Four Seasons Resale of the North
are being donated to the Wounded Warriors
Project, a national organization the helps
thousands of Wounded Warriors, and their
families, returning home from current con-
flicts.
Winter hours at Four Seasons Resale of the
North are Monday through Saturday 10 am
to 5 pm. For additional information, con-
tact Terie Rogers at (989) 306-3700 or (989)
306-1482.
Beginning 8 a.m., last Monday, March 11,
weight restrictions will be imposed on all
state trunkline highways in the Lower
Peninsula. The weight restrictions will apply
to state routes with M, I or US designations
from the southern Michigan border north to
and including the Mackinac Bridge.
In the restricted areas, the following will
apply:
- On routes designated as "all-season
routes" (designated in green and gold on the
MDOT Truck Operators Map), there will be
no reduction in legal axle weights.
- On routes designated as "seasonal" (des-
ignated in solid or dashed red on the MDOT
Truck Operators Map), there will be a posted
weight reduction of 25 percent for rigid
pavements and 35 percent for flexible pave-
ments.
- All extended permits will be valid for
oversize loads in the weight-restricted area
on the restricted routes. Single-trip permits
will not be issued for any overweight loads or
loads exceeding 14 feet in width, 11 axles
and 150 feet in overall length, on the restrict-
ed routes.
Additionally, M-33 in Cheboygan County
has deteriorated badly over the winter. As a
result, the Michigan Department of
Transportation (MDOT) has been forced to
change M-33
from an all-
season road
to a seasonal
road effec-
tive as of
March 5th.
The section
from Mann
Road to M-
27 has been
changed
from green to red on the MDOT Truck
Operators map, meaning that the road will
now be subject to spring frost law weight
restrictions that went into effect on March
11th. All overwidth, overweight, and over-
length transport permits are restricted from
using this section of M-33 indefinitely.
For weight restriction information and
updates, call 800-787-8960, or you can
access this information on MDOT's Web site
at www.michigan.gov/truckers, under
"Restrictions." All-season routes are desig-
nated in green and gold on the MDOT Truck
Operators Map, which is available online.
You also may sign up to receive e-mail alerts.
Trucking companies located in New Jersey
and Canada can obtain information by call-
ing 517-373-6256.

By Jim Akans
Its a clean machine, chimes Paul
McCartney in the classic Beatles tune;
Penny Lane. For Gaylord area residents
and visitors looking for the ultimate self-
service or automatic wash facility for
cleaning their machine, the path leads
down M-32 west, at the corner of
McVannel, to the location of JnJ Alpine
Auto Wash.
Area builder, Jim Jeffers, and his wife,
Jennifer, purchased the facility in July of
2009 and made several upgrades to the
establishment, including adding doors to
the self-serve and automatic bays, to make
the task of washing vehicles during cold
weather months more comfortable.
We work very hard to ensure the facility
is clean inside and out, states Jeffers. We
are also committed to attentive customer
service. Our on-site technician, Virgil
Koronka, is there to make sure the equip-
ment is tuned up and operating at opti-
mum performance, and personally helps
customers if they have a concern.
JnJ Alpine Auto Wash has two fully auto-
matic bays and four self-service bays.
Vacuums, carpet shampooers and even
interior fragrance products are also on
hand to add those final finishing touches
to their customers vehicles. The self-serv-
ice bays have extra-height doors so they
are able to accommodate vehicles that
may not fit into other car wash locations.
All of the water we use is fresh, notes
Jeffers. The soap tech who services our
location commented that we have one of
the cleanest water supplies in his northern
Michigan coverage area. What that means
for our customers is they wont end up
with water spots on their newly cleaned
vehicle.
During the year, Jeffers estimates the
location serves and average of approxi-
mately 100 vehicles a day, with peak sea-
son being in March and April when each
the automatic bays alone can serve up to
200 vehicles a day.
JnJ Alpine Auto Wash offers specials for
returning customers, such as Commercial
Fleet Account discounts and VIP Coupons;
which gives the holder a free wash after
five regularly priced washes. They are also
active in community fundraising for non-

Foundation hosts a 4G Event
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.

over 1,000 acres. The report also shows a
whopping 40 percent growth in the number
of female farm operators, and that organic
production accounted for approximately $32
million dollars in sales.
Established in 1973, National Ag day is
designed to encourage Americans to learn
about agricultures essential role in our econ-
omy in providing safe and abundant prod-
ucts, and discovering how those various food
and fiber products make their way from the
fields to our home and businesses. In addi-
tion to the foods that grace our kitchen
tables, agriculture also forms the basis for;
- Health care pharmaceuticals, ointments,
surgical sutures, latex gloves, x-ray film,
gelatins for pill capsules and more.
- Fuels, lubricants, antifreeze, tires and
more for the transportation industry
- In the area of manufacturing, thank agri-
culture for adhesives, solvents, detergents,
printing paper, ink and film
- Crayons, textbooks, chalk, desks, pencils
and paper, uniforms, bats, and shoes for our
schools and sports programs
- Personal care products such as sham-
poos, cosmetics, lotions, fingernail polish
and toothpaste
The list goes on and on.
In the more familiar area of farm crops,
Michigan produces over 200 commodities,
making our state second in the nation in
terms of diversity. We lead the country in
tart cherry, blueberry, cucumber, cranberry
bean, black bean and small red bean pro-
duction, are second in the nation in celery,
carrot, Hostas, Marigold, squash, dry bean
and Christmas tree production. Third place
goes to Michigan for apple production,
fourth for grape production, and fifth for
snap beans, sugarbeet and maple syrup pro-
duction. We are also in the top ten for milk
and potato production.
Watch out automotive industry, agricul-
ture in Michigan is growing every day!

During National Ag Week, keep a few of
these fascinating facts at hand to enlighten
friends, family and co-workers about the
important role agriculture plays in our lives.
- Here in tax season, it is interesting to
note that it takes approximately 40 days for
most Americans to earn enough money to
pay for their food supply for the entire year.
In contrast, it takes about 129 days for the
average American to earn enough money to
pay federal, state and local taxes for the year.
- More than 96 billion pounds of edible
"surplus" food is thrown away in the U.S.
each year. It is estimated that almost 27% of
our food supply is wasted.
- Apples are a member of the rose family.
- Fresh apples float because 25 percent of
their volume is air.
- There are more than 7,000 varieties of
apples grown in the world.
- There are about 600 kernels on each ear
of corn.
- Farmers can grow corn on every conti-
nent except Antarctica.
- While the first breakfast cereal was made
by adding sugar and milk to popped pop-
corn, a shortage of baking flours after World
War II forced bread makers to substitute up
to 25% of wheat flour with ground popped
popcorn. Over the years, popcorn also has
been used as an ingredient in pudding,
candy, soup, salad and entrees.
- Popcorns nutritional value comes from
the fact that, like other cereal grains, its pri-
mary function is to provide the body with
heat and energy.
- The same chemicals that give tart cher-
ries their color may relieve pain better than
aspirin and ibuprofen in humans. Eating
about 20 tart cherries a day could reduce
inflammatory pain and headache pain.
- There are about 7,000 cherries on an
average tart cherry tree (the number varies
depending on the age of the tree, weather
and growing conditions). It takes about 250
cherries to make a cherry pie, so each tree
could produce enough cherries for 28 pies!
- In Michigan, there are almost 4 million
cherry trees that annually produce 150 to
200 pounds of tart cherries each.
-The eggshell may have as many as 17,000
tiny pores over its surface. Through them,
the egg can absorb flavors and odors. Storing
them in their cartons helps keep them fresh!
- Eggs age more in one day at room tem-
perature than in one week in the refrigerator.
- It takes 24 to 26 hours for a hen to pro-
duce an egg; there is 30 minutes between
each egg-producing cycle.
- In a years time a dairy cow produces
1,500 gallons or 6,000 quarts of milk. A Jersey
cow will give as much as 3 to 4 gallons or
around 16 quarts of milk each day.
-The average U.S. dairy cow produces 22.5
quarts of milk each day. Thats about 16,000
glasses of milk per year enough for about
40 people. One cow can give 200,000 glasses
of milk in a lifetime.
- It takes approximately 1.4 gallons of milk
to make 1 gallon of ice cream.
- A dairy cow consumes 35 gallons of
water, 20 pounds of grain and concentrated
feed and 35 pounds of hay or silage (a mix-
ture of corn and grass) in just one day.

All kids are terrific and here at South Maple Elementary and North Ohio Elementary we are acknowledg-
ing kids for good character. The Kiwanis club of Otsego County is helping us with this endeavor. Students
who exhibit good behavior by following our school rules will be recognized by staff for doing so. One stu-
dent per class will be selected to receive a Terrific Kid award, button, and pencil. The student names will
be announced on our morning announcements. They will also have their picture taken to hang on our
Terrific Kid bulletin board. This is an excellent opportunity for staff, students, parents and the commu-
nity to connect on a social/emotional level because good character is just as important as good grades!

Roscommon The Kirtland Community College
Foundation recently awarded over $6,000 in scholar-
ships, providing financial support for deserving students
to offset the cost of pursuing higher education in one of
Kirtlands academic programs. Multiple endowed schol-
arship funds exist, providing vital support to one of the
central missions of the college, which is to offer afford-
able educational opportunities for the citizens of the
Kirtland region. A new General Scholarship Fund started
this year and supported by Kirtland faculty and staff
members made it possible to award five additional
scholarships over the previous semester.

Tuition free preschool applications for Head Start and Great
Start Readiness Programs are being scheduled throughout
March and April. Parents residing in Charlevoix, Emmet and
northern Antrim counties who have children that will be age 3
or 4 by November 1, 2013, should call 1-800-443-5518 to sched-
ule an appointment.
The tuition free preschool application process is a collabora-
tive effort of the Womens Resource Centers Project Free,
Charlevoix-Emmet ISD, Great Start Readiness Program and
partner districts that offer Great Start Readiness Programs, Little
Traverse Bay Band Head Start, and Northwest Michigan
Community Action Agency Head Start.
This joint application process makes it easier for parents to
complete one application for their child instead of one per
agency, said Marcia Campbell, Char-Em ISD Early Childhood
Program Manager. This is really convenient for parents
because we make it one-stop-shopping for them to apply and
enroll their child in a quality, licensed preschool program in
their neighborhood.
All programs offered are licensed with certified preschool
teachers, Campbell said.
Research clearly shows the direct economic and academic
impact on children who receive high quality care and education
during the two years immediately preceding their formal
schooling, she said. According to the Michigan Great Start
Readiness Program Longitudinal Study of children during 1995-
2011, some of these benefits include:
Lower high school dropout rates
Citizens who contribute to the success of the community
Higher income earners
Lower crime rates
Lower welfare need
Higher tax base
For more information and to schedule an appointment for a
tuition free preschool application, call 1-800-443-5518.

LOCAL NEWS
By Deb Hagen-Foley
Whether you think you can, or you think
you can't, you're right. Henry Ford
Research has shown that being an opti-
mist, having a positive view of the future, is
related to improved physical and mental
health. Persons with an optimistic disposi-
tion get sick less frequently, are less likely to
develop a cold or cancer or cardiovascular
disease.
Positive psychology is one of the newest
branches of psychology. While much of psy-
chology concentrates on preventing or elimi-
nating dysfunction, positive psychology
examines how to help persons, organiza-
tions, and communities not just survive, but
thrive. Holding optimistic beliefs of the
future is related to handling stress better, liv-
ing longer, being happier and more success-
ful. Some people are inherently optimistic,
but everyone can become more optimistic
and reap the benefits of optimism.
Becoming more optimistic requires prac-
tice. Generating optimism is much like
adopting any other positive habit. At first, it
may require consciously engaging in specific
behaviors on a regular basis. In time, opti-
mism can become automatic and natural,
requiring little thought.
First, we need to recognize that being opti-
mistic is a choice that we can control. Some
parts of our lives may be out of our control,
but the attitude we have toward our personal
circumstances is our choice. Every morning,
we either choose to wake up grumpy or wake
up with a positive outlook. Now that we
have chosen optimism, how do we cultivate
and maintain an optimistic disposition?
Here are some ideas.
- Change your focus. When it seems
things aren't going your way, it is easy to
think the world is against you. Optimism
doesn't mean ignoring negative events or
expecting bad things will never happen.
Having an optimistic outlook means finding
the positive in any situation, that negative
events are temporary, and that you have the
ability to confront any challenge that arises.
To practice seeing the positive, practice
being grateful. To get started, record five
things you are grateful for every day. Yes,
write them down. If you are having a diffi-
cult day in the future, rereading your grati-
tudes will remind you to be grateful. Five
sentences starting with, "Today I am grateful
for . . . " You will quickly find there is much
to be grateful for - the sunshine, springtime,
having people who love and care about you,
being alive, living in lower northern
Michigan . . . for just a few examples! I am
sure you can think of others. Five a day,
every day. Write them down.
- Acknowledge yourself. Optimists believe
they are capable of meeting whatever chal-
lenges they might encounter. If you are lis-
tening to people (or the voices in your head)
that are telling you that you can't do some-
thing, it will be difficult to be optimistic.
Practice recognizing your value and abilities
by acknowledging yourself. Every day,
record five acknowledgements. Five sen-
tences starting with, "Today I acknowledge
myself for . . . " These don't need to be
major accomplishments at first. Remember,
this is practice. Today I acknowledge myself
for . . . sticking to my eating plan, giving (or
accepting) a compliment, going to (or look-
ing for) work, making the bed, calling a
friend. Five a day - being consistent will
make it easier and make it less likely that you
will discount your abilities.
- Surround yourself with positive people.
As you work on being more optimistic, you
may find there are people around you that
are negative. Positive people attract other
positive people. Negative people gather with
other negative people to support each
other's view of the world. If you find your-
self with negative people, change the topic
or walk away. With experience, you will be
able to help them see the positive as well.
Being with optimistic people will help you to
stay optimistic. Optimism is contagious!
- Practice random acts of kindness. Do
something nice for someone every day.
Don't expect anything in return. You will
feel good knowing you did something nice
and you will help someone else feel better
about themselves and about other people.
Maybe they will even pass on the kindness to
someone else!
- Be realistic while expecting the best.
Optimism means having a hopeful outlook.
It doesn't mean ignoring the reality that bad
things can happen. Being realistic means
keeping things in perspective. Remember
that life has ups and downs - neither is forev-
er. Having a positive disposition in every
situation will help you to cope with any cir-
cumstance.
- Be present. You might think that you
will be happy when a specific even occurs -
once you lose 20 pounds or win the lottery.
Don't wait to be happy! Work on being
happy now, no matter what your life situa-
tion. You may find that as you practice being
happy, your life will change and the nega-
tives will vanish. If you can be happy before
you lost the weight or win the money, think
of how much happier and more appreciative
you will be when and if those events do hap-
pen.
- Fake it until you make it. If you aren't
used to having a positive attitude, practicing
being happy will help you become a happier
person. Studies have shown that smiling can
trigger a reaction in your brain that makes
you feel happier. If you face the world with
a smile and a positive outlook, the world will
respond to you in a positive way.
- Use positive affirmations. An affirma-
tion is more than just a statement - affirma-
tions can change the way you think about
yourself and the world. Think of an affirma-
tion as a reminder of what you want to
believe but perhaps you don't right now.
Affirmations are statements, in the present
tense, statements about who you are - but
you have forgotten. They can also be state-
ments about the reality that you are working
toward. Statements such as, I am coura-
geous, I am lovable, I am choosing to be
happy, I am positive, I am amazing. They
can be whatever you want. Stretch your
beliefs about who you want to be. If you
tend to think negative things about yourself,
turn them around and make it an affirma-
tion to positive thoughts. Don't think, "I'm
stupid." Think, "I am capable and learning
more every day." Write our your affirmations
and post them somewhere you can see them
everyday - on the bathroom mirror, on the
side of your computer screen, on the dash-
board of your car. Say them out loud also -
the more often you repeat them, the faster
they will become a part of you and chase the
negative statements away!
Using these tips will help you become
more optimistic. Commit to practice being
optimistic for six week. Like anything new, it
could take as much as six weeks of practice
before optimism becomes a habit for you.
In just your first week of following these tips,
you will find that you feel better about your-
self and more positive about the future. Isn't
that worth learning something new?

If youre a Gen-Xer, born between
1965 and 1980, youve still got many
years to go until you retire. At this stage
of your life, what can you do to help
build resources for the retirement
lifestyle youve envisioned?
Besides having time on your side,
youve got another key advantage in sav-
ing for retirement, specifically, you
probably havent reached your peak
earning years. This helps you in at least
two ways. First, of course, it means you
should be able to increase your retire-
ment savings in the future. And second,
it might mean youre still eligible to con-
tribute to one of the most effective
retirement accounts available, the Roth
IRA.
When you invest in a Roth IRA, your
earnings are distributed tax free, provid-
ed youve had your account at least five
years and you dont start taking with-
drawals until youre at least 59. For the
2013 tax year, you can put in up to
$5,500 to a Roth IRA; when you reach 50,
youll also be able to make catch-up
contributions. (Currently, the catch-up
limit is $1,000.)
However, the ability to make Roth IRA
contributions is limited by income. For
2013, you can make the full contribu-
tion to a Roth IRA if you are single and
your modified adjusted gross income
(MAGI) is less than $112,000. Above this
amount, your contribution limit will be
gradually reduced, and if your MAGI
reaches $127,000, you wont be able to
contribute at all. If youre married filing
jointly, the lower limit is $178,000 and
the cutoff amount is $188,000.
Of course, if you have to consider
these income limits, youre making a
reasonably good living, and you may
well be on a career path that will take
you to even greater earnings which is
why you should think about putting in
as much as possible to a Roth IRA while
youre eligible.
If your earnings are already over the
limit for the Roth IRA, you can still con-
tribute to a traditional IRA. Your contri-
butions can grow tax deferred, which
means your money can accumulate
faster than it would on an account on
which you paid taxes every single year.
Taxes are due upon withdrawal, and
withdrawals prior to age 59 may be
subject to a 10% IRS penalty.
But what if your income level is such
that you could contribute to either a
Roth IRA or a traditional IRA? Which one
should you choose?
Theres no right answer for every-
one. On the one hand, the Roths tax-
free distributions may be more attrac-
tive to you than the tax-deferred growth
potential of a traditional IRA if you
expect your tax rate to be higher in the
future. However, depending on your
income level and
whether you have
access to a 401(k)
or other retire-
ment plan at work,
your traditional
IRA contributions
may be fully or
partially tax-
deductible. But
these types of cal-
culations are not
easy, so before
making the tradi-
t i onal - or - Rot h
choice, youll need
to consult with
your tax advisor.
In any case, now
is the time to capi-
talize on your
Gen-X status and
use the years
ahead to invest
consistently in an
IRA and other tax-
advantaged retire-
ment accounts. As
an investor, time is
your greatest ally so take advantage of it.

Crawford County 2013 Job Fair
By Mark Grantner
Happy April everyone! What do you think
our chances are of an early spring? Just
think, a quarter of a year is gone already!
Cold and Flu season is still going on
remember the best prevention is to wash
your hands often, dont touch your eyes,
nose or lips with your fingers and if you are
sick, stay home! Eat right, get plenty of sleep
and some exercise.
April showers bring May flowers it also
brings tornados and bad weather. If you
arent a regular TV watcher or like someone
who has a weather radio going most times it
may be wise to invest in a NOAA weather
radio. They have automatic
alarms when severe weather
updates are issued and are
rather inexpensive. You can
get them at most hardware
or appliance stores, just a
thought.
So sorry about last
months article there was a
mix up somewhere or
maybe you didnt even miss
it. Here are some happen-
ings for April as I know of
them: Mon 4/1 be careful
out there, its April Fools
Day! Mon 4/8 at 9a.m., the
regular Monthly Board meet-
ing of the Council on Aging
meets at the Center and as
always anyone interested is
welcome to attend. Thurs
4/18 the Together We Can
Food Pantry will hold its
monthly distribution at the
Fairgrounds. This is a county resident only
program and does have some income guide-
lines. Tues 4/23 the Commodity
Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) will take
place at the Center from 10-11. Please try to
have someone pick up your box for you if
you cant make it that day. On Thurs 4/25 the
Alzheimers Support group meets at 1p.m at
the Center. Any caregiver of someone with
dementia is welcome to attend. Sometimes
it is just good to get things off your chest.
Are you getting tired, run out of gas taking
care of a loved one who cannot do without
you? We can provide 2-4 hours of Respite
care to let you get some things done or just
have some time for yourself. Just give us a
call and ask for Mandy.
Northern Homes Community
Development Corporation is a non-profit
organization to help create and preserve
quality affordable housing opportunities in
Northern Michigan. Are delinquent taxes
closing in on you? MSHDAs loan recue pro-
gram helps homeowners that have fallen
behind on their mortgage or property taxes.
Homeowners that occupy the property as
their primary residence and have had a qual-
ifying involuntary hardship that caused
them to fall behind may be eligible if they
can now pay their mortgage or property
taxes. Approved homeowners will be asked
to sign a forgivable loan for the amount of
assistance granted. The loan is provided at a
0% interest rate, requires no monthly pay-
ments, and will be forgiven at 20% each year
as long as the property remains the home-
owners primary residence. Loans are paid
directly to the participating mortgage lender
and/or county treasurer for payment toward
the amount owed. You can call Amy at 231-
582-6496. Please dont call the Senior Center
as we know no more than the information
printed. But give her a call it may be worth
your while.
The North East Michigan Community
Service Agency (NEMCSA) out of Alpena will
be assisting with taxes again this year. For
information and to get an appointment you
can call 1-800-633-3335 ext 252. We at the
Council do not prepare taxes, NEMCSA only
uses the building. If anyone has a need for
some adult diapers we may be able to help
you. They have been donated to us and we
will donate to those who can use them.
As promised, here are some of the other
services the Council offers: The
Medicare/Medicaid Assistance Program
(MMAP): If you are Medicare eligible we will
help you set up a Part D Plan. If you dont
understand your Medicare bill we can help
with that too. We can also help seniors over
60 with Medicaid applications for assistance
and Bridge cards (food assistance). If you
are falling through the cracks and cant pay
for your medications we may be able to help
you by contacting the pharmaceutical com-
panies. Merianne and Sandy have saved our
area seniors over $38,000.00 on prescription
costs.
We also administer Project FRESH food
coupons. The state provided us with 100
$20.00 food vouchers to be used at local
farm markets, The Council on Aging also
sponsors the monthly CSFP/MIC Food
Distribution (the monthly distribution for
seniors 60 and older), and the every 3 month
TEFAP (The Emergency Food Assistance
Program) which is open to all ages who meet
the income guidelines. You can sign up for
both of these the day of the distribution.
The next TEFAP will be Tuesday May 7th.
While the Council has no designated activ-
ity director, we urge all seniors to be active
either physically or socially. The Center has
4 internet capable computers for senior use.
All we ask is that you record your time on the
computer. We also offer a Wii station for
senior use. It has golf, bowling, baseball and
some other games. Seniors can play these
any time they want. We have wood carvers
use part of the dining room on Thursday
afternoons along with a couple of painters.
All of the above are free of charge and open
to all seniors. One lady is trying to get a
ping-pong game/league going. She is even
willing to buy the table if there is enough
interest! Seniors can use the building for any
type of activity they want to do, between
8:00a.m. and 4:00 pm. Scrapbooking,
sewing/knitting, card playing, board games,

St. Patrick was actually of Scottish descent
and came to Ireland as a slave after being
kidnapped as a teen
St. Patricks Day is celebrated on March 17
because it is believed St. Patrick, the patron
saint of Ireland, died on that date in 461 AD.
St. Patricks Day is also a celebration of Irish
culture, lure and history.
* The very first St. Patricks Day Parade was
held in Boston in 1737. And no wonder, since
Boston is the city with the largest population
of Irish Americans (23 percent).
* Nine of the people who signed the
Declaration of Independence were of Irish
ancestry and 19 presidents of the U.S. claim
Irish heritage, including our first president
George Washington.
* More than 34 million Americans are of
Irish descent, almost nine times the popula-
tion of 4.1 million who live in Ireland.
* The shamrock is the traditional symbol
because St. Patrick used it to explain the
Christian mystery of the Trinity, the connec-
tion between the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Spirit.
* St. Patrick was actually of Scottish
descent and was born to a well-to-do family
around 390 A.D. He was kidnapped at age 16
and brought to Ireland, where he served as a
slave for seven years. He converted to
Christianity during his time there.
* St. Patrick escaped and returned to
Britain but heard a voice telling him to go
back to Ireland. He did and was ordained as
a priest, dedicating the rest of his life to the
ministry. He endured, though his message
was not readily accepted and he faced perse-
cution of various forms. Today, the impact of
his ministry is still being felt in Ireland.
*Theres no truth to the legend that St.
Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland.
There are no snakes in Ireland and never
have been. The snakes actually represent the
pagans that were converted to Christianity
through St. Patricks ministry.
* According to legend, each leaf of the
four-leaf clover has significance: the first is
for hope, the second for faith, the third for
love and the fourth for luck.
* More than 41.5 billion pounds of beef are
produced each year for St. Patrick's Day, with
the majority of it coming from Texas
and over 2.5 billion pounds of cab-
bage are produced with the majority
grown in California.
* More than 8 million St. Patrick's
Day cards are exchanged in America
making today the ninth-largest card
selling occasion in the US.
* More than 94 million people plan
to wear green on St. Patrick's Day.
* The original Guinness Brewery in
Dublin has a 9,000 year lease.
* Finding a four-leaf clover is still a
treasure. There are about 10,000
three-leaf clovers for every four-leaf
clover.
* The Irish flag is green, white and
orange. The green symbolizes the
people of the south; the orange the
people of the north; the white repre-
sents the peace that brings them togeth-
er.
* The magically delicious Lucky
Charms cereal, was introduced in 1963 along
with its popular mascot Lucky the
Leprechaun.
* Did you know that leprechauns are the
official shoemakers of the fairy kingdom?

Evie (Dipzinski) Riozzi, who is a con-
tributing author in the latest book in the
Chicken Soup for the Soul series entitled
Finding My Faith, will meet customers and
sign copies of the book on Saturday, March
16th from 11:30am until 1:30pm. in a sit-
and-sign event at Saturn Booksellers in
downtown Gaylord. It is free and open to
the public and requires no ticket.
Evies story is the heartfelt narration of
her eldest sister Charlenes (Char) last days
before she passed away at the age of 47
from triple negative cancer.
Chars death was an inspiration to me,
Evie said. Id never seen anything so beau-
tiful. I started writing about it in a notebook
because I wanted to share it with her girls,
Ashley and Ava, some day. I kept working
on it to get it right. I love the Chicken Soup
for the Soul books, and I decided to send it
to them.
Its exciting to have another Gaylord resi-
dent published, and we are happy to share
Evies excitement with readers. Finding My
Faith would make a lovely Easter or
Mothers Day gift, or a heartfelt remem-
brance for friends or family, says Saturn
Booksellers owner Jill Miner.
Riozzi, lifelong resident of Gaylord, is
married to Steve Riozzi and has two daugh-
ters, Holly and Heidi.
This book signing is free and open to the
public. For more information about this or
any other of Saturn Booksellers events, call
the store at 989-732-8899 or visit them at
133 W. Main St. in downtown Gaylord, or on

By Jim Akans
Next Thursday through Saturday evenings,
March 21st to the 23rd, the Gaylord St. Mary
High School Cathedral Players will bring the
Brothers Grimms classic story, Snow White
and the Seven Dwarfs, to life on the stage at
St. Mary Cathedral School Playhouse. This
enduring tale is arguably the fairest of all,
and images from the treasured 1937 Walt
Disney animated film are etched upon child-
hood memories far and wide, entertaining
those of every age for decades.
Were really excited to be able to put
together a show thats based on an age old
favorite, says Joann Samalik, a Players
alumnus that has been helping with the
show. I really think it will be a great show for
the entire family because the kids love the
magic and parents will be immersed in the
nostalgia.
The students of St. Marys have absolutely
loved bringing this show to life. They partic-
ularly enjoy the magic that fantasy allows
them to bring to the stage. Princesses,
dwarves, talking mirrors I know the audience
is going to enjoy this show as much as I do!
said Alice Kole a junior at St. Marys.
Students have also taken a leading role in
the production of the play, which is directed
by Gaylord Community Productions mem-
ber, Charlie Bono.
The students, especially the older ones,
have really done a lot of the legwork for the
show, its been a great opportunity for them
to see what goes on behind the scenes to
make a production happen. Its so much
more than just auditioning and performing!
said Joe DeFelice, another alumnus. Im
really looking forward to what these kids are
going to bring to the stage.
This is an opportunity to enjoy this leg-
endary story on the live stage in Gaylord for
the first time. Charlie Bono relates, I can
assure you it will be a great show with some
very unique effects that will be entertaining
for both children and adults. Bring your
kids, grandchildren or just make it a date
night for yourselves.
Tickets are $12 for adults, $8 for
students/children, and a special Players
Porch ticket, which includes dinner theatre
style balcony seating with
main course, desserts and
beverages, is available for
$25 per person. Tickets are
now on sale at St. Mary
Cathedral School from 8 to
4 pm weekdays, and may
also be purchased at the
door the evening of the
event.
Those evenings will be
next Thursday through
Saturday, March 21st to the
23rd, and the curtain will
rise at 7:30 pm. Dont miss
this exciting, family musical
presented live on stage.

March is Save Your Vision Month
H#) T# P%#'ec' a"d
E"ha"ce Y#(% V&#"
If you never had clear vision, how would you
know your eyesight was bad? How could a child
know, or even tell you about the problem?
Thats why childhood vision problems are
often missed until its too late, after schoolwork
and learning have already begun to suffer.
During Save Your Vision Month in March, the
Health Department of Northwest Michigan
urges you to give eyesight a second look for
your family, and for yourself. The Health
Department offers FREE vision screening
appointments for all children ages 3-18 in
Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet
and Otsego Counties. The
Health Department, in collab-
oration with local schools,
provides vision screening to
children in preschool, kinder-
garten and in grades 1, 3, 5, 7
and 9.
According to the Michigan Department of
Community Health, about 10 percent of all
children screened for vision problems require
follow-up evaluation and care by an eye doctor.
We cant afford to let one out of every 10
children suffer, said Suzette Daly, Family and
Community Health Supervisor for the Health
Department. The loss of healthy vision is
potentially devastating to children, but it can
be debilitating to adults and seniors as well.
Sometimes, vision loss is so gradual that we
and our family members suffer
without realizing somethings wrong.
The Health Department of Northwest
Michigan is mandated by the Michigan Public
Health Code to promote wellness, prevent dis-
ease, provide quality healthcare, address health
problems of vulnerable populations, and pro-
tect the environment for the residents and visi-
tors of Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet, and Otsego
Counties. To schedule a vision screening, call
the Health Department at (800) 432-4121. Also,
visit www.nwhealth.org to learn more about
hearing and vision screening.
By Ashley Cook
Over the next 30 years the number of blind or visually
impaired Americans will double because of aging baby
boomers, according to the National Eye Institute. Age-related
diseases dont have to lead to vision loss or blindness. Regular
comprehensive eye exams provide doctors of optometry and
ophthalmology with indications of diseases that affect the entire
body like diabetes and hypertension. Preventive exams are also
important in detecting glaucoma early. Early detection means
you have a much better chance of preserving your vision.
Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause
of blindness in the United States and is caused by the deteriora-
tion of certain cells in the macula, the portion of the retina that
is responsible for clear, sharp vision. Symptoms of AMD include
a gradual loss of ability to see objects clearly, distorted vision,
loss of color vision, and a dark or empty area in the center of
vision. AMD risk is highest among Caucasians ages 65-74, and
women tend to be at risk more than men.
Cataracts are caused by chemical changes in the lens, which
cloud all, or part of the clear lens within the eye. It is a major
cause of vision loss. Symptoms include blurred or hazy vision,
the appearance of spots in front of the eyes and increased sensi-
tivity to glare or the sensation of having a film over the eye.
According to researchers at the Mayo Clinic, smoking and ultra-
violet light play a role in cataract development. Fortunately, 95
percent of people who have cataracts removed have better
vision.
Diabetic retinopathy weakens and causes changes in the
small blood vessels that nourish the eyes. Early symptoms are
blurred vision, cloudiness of vision, blind spots or floaters, but
some people experience no symptoms. An annual dilated exam
can detect changes in the retina or optic nerve. Early detection
and treatment reduces the chances of vision loss.
Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness in the United
States and occurs due to the buildup of pressure in the eye,
which damages nerve fibers, the optic nerve and blood vessels
in the eye. It develops gradually and painlessly in the most com-
mon cases. People over 40 and those with a family history of
glaucoma should be checked for it annually. If detected early it
can be controlled, but undetected it can lead to permanent
vision loss.
Eating healthy foods can help you lower your risk of develop-
ing eye diseases. Antioxidants like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and
Vitamin A can help prevent cataracts, age related macular
degeneration, and other eye diseases. Fresh fruits and vegeta-
bles are the best sources, but you may also take supplements.
Liver, eggs, carrots and spinach are good sources of Vitamin A.
Oranges, green peppers, strawberries, broccoli and sweet pota-
toes have lots of Vitamin C. Some of the best sources of Vitamin
E are green leafy vegetables, nuts, and fortified products like
cereal.
If you are concerned you arent getting enough vitamins
through food, several manufacturers offer supplements formu-
lated for eye health. They are available without a prescription
and contain additional ingre-
dients like lutein, bilberry,
zinc, selenium and B vitamins
in addition to Vitamins A, C
and E. You may want to dis-
cuss with your optometrist or
ophthalmologist which brand
of eye vitamins he or she rec-
ommends for your specific
needs.
