First citizen to receive award

from Sheriff Clarmont
By Amanda Monthei
On June 22, Doug Thornton received a call from his father-in-law that a
child had gone missing near his home in Aloha Township. Thornton, having
grown up in the area, drove to Aloha Township to assist in the search for the
child a 22-month-old boy, who was reported to have been wearing only a
diaper and a shirt and had been missing for about three hours.
While exploring the woods in the area near his former home, Thornton
veered into the woods off of a two-track, where he heard a faint cry and
quickly found the child.
I thought it was significant that his residence wasnt in that area, he had
just grown up there, Cheboygan County Sheriff Dale Clarmont said. He
took it upon himself to travel from a different part of the county to that area.
He took it upon himself to stay in the area that he was familiar with, where
he had grown up and knew the woods. He did exactly what we asked him to
do.
The effort and ultimate success of Thornton in finding the lost child initiated a special response from Clarmont and the Cheboygan Country Sheriffs
Department.
He is well-deserving of a citizenship award a certificate of appreciation
from the Cheboygan County Sheriffs Department, said Clarmont, who went
on to say that Thornton was the first citizen to have ever received such an
award during Clarmonts time in the department.
This is the first private citizenship award that Ive handed out, he said.
Ive handed out other lifesaving awards to my search
and rescue members and

such, but this is the first private citizen award.
Thornton like the many
others who volunteered their
time to look for 22-monthold Mason Rhinehart of
Livonia that day had been
notified by the A Child is

year after year! Theyve made this weekend a
great girls getaway, and the tradition lives
on this year with teams coming from downstate and around the north. About half the
teams are local, right from our backyard,

participant called it the best girlfriend day
ever! The line encapsulated the event so
well, it has stuck with the event since then.

Annual Harvest Fest, the Annual Arts and

30 years. The Mercy Hospital Auxiliary start-
ed the Annual Arts and Crafts Show, but for

the past 27 years GPA has been handling it.
Many of the 52 crafters have been partici-
pating in the GPA Craft Show for the past 1520 years, but there will be about 13 new vendors this year including a photographer.
Some of the items that will be available are
soy candles, jewelry, Christmas wreaths and
decorations, many knit and crocheted items
including baby sets, dinosaur stuffed animals, wool stockings, wooden toys, and pet
items. One of the most popular vendors will
be back this year with her pillow cases that
she will embroider your name on. The show
is so large they use both of the buildings for
the Elementary School so you can come in
either entrance.
The Grayling Elementary School will also
have lunch available from 11:00 am 2:00

pm. You can get an assortment of lunch
goodies such as soups, sandwiches, wraps,
nachos, desserts, and more all for a reasonable price. The GPA also supplies free coffee
and donuts for the crafters.
There will be a $1 admission for the Craft
Show and that will go back to GPA for future
projects in downtown Grayling such as banners, flowers, fireworks, and festivals. The
GPA Fall Arts and Crafts Show is a great
chance to do some early Christmas shopping. For more information, you can call

The Professional Testing Center at
University Center Gaylord was recently
awarded Test Center Certification by the
National College Testing Association (NCTA).
Congratulations are extended to Executive

Director Jack Thompson and the entire staff
of the University Center Gaylord Professional
Testing Center for maintaining high test
administration standards and for providing
excellent service to a wide variety of students
and community members in the performance of their duties.

promotion of professionalism and high quality service in the administration of testing
programs, offers certification
Criteria for certification are rigorous and are

based on the NCTA Professional Standards
and Guidelines, which were developed to
guide post-secondary test centers in the
delivery of quality testing programs.
The University Center Gaylord
Professional Testing Center is one of the few
test centers in the U.S. and Canada to have
completed this intensive certification
process. This certification will be in place for
five years and can be renewed by demonstrating continued compliance to national
standards.

Rubleskis fourth book Mind Capture:
Leadership Lessons from Ten Trailblazers
Who Beat the Odds and Influenced Millions.
The cost to attend the seminar is just
$49/person. Organizers with the chamber of
commerce urge early registration as there is
potential to sell out this program.

Lisa Hoyt, Membership Director with the
Petoskey Regional Chamber of Commerce
says the chamber has hosted Rubleski on
four occasions over the past ten years, but
not since 2009. Were fortunate to bring
Tony back to the region, Hoyt said. His

our members and are full of good, practical
ideas, she added.
Hoyt said the seminar will be ideal for
business owners, CEOs, marketing directors,
or anyone involved in sales on a daily basis.
If your business has a need to increase

northern Michigan. It will be a lot of fun," he
added.

Traveling Art Show tours area

Petoskey North Country Community Mental Health will
host the Michigan Association of Community Mental Health
Boards (MACMHB) statewide traveling art show, Creative
Minds Changing Minds, during the month of October in
Bellaire, Gaylord, Kalkaska and Petoskey. The show will be on
display in the Antrim County Building on Thursday, October
2 through Wednesday, October 8; the Petoskey District
Library on Friday, October 10 through Thursday, October 16;
the Gaylord University Center from Friday, October 17
through Thursday, October 23; and the Kalkaska Memorial
Cardiac Rehab Gym from Friday, October 24 through
Thursday, October 30. The show features the original work of
34 artists who access Community Mental Health services
across Michigan. The event is free and open to the public.
The goals of the two-year art show are to help de-stigmatize mental illness, intellectual/developmental disabilities
and addictive disorders by showcasing the multidimensionality of the artists and to highlight the recovery potential of
art.
We know that many great artists like Michelangelo, Van
Gogh, and Jackson Pollock not only possessed exceptional
creativity but also experienced mental illness, said Alexis
Kaczynski, North Country CMH Director. For hundreds of
years, their famous works of art have helped change attitudes while enriching peoples lives. We are pleased to present this show of Michigan artists who have used art to help
their recovery and build life skills. We also are appreciative of
the community organizations that graciously have offered
their spaces to host the show.
Michigans Community Mental Health (CMH) organizations were asked to submit works of two-dimensional art,
including paintings, drawings, prints, fabric and photography. Entrants were asked to discuss what art means to them,
including what they like about art, what creating art does for
them and if art helped in their recovery and life skills development.
Bruce Love from Petoskey has a painting of tulips in the

traveling show. For me, art is a way of expressing myself
constructively, doing something I think is worthwhile. I also
like to make cards for people. When theyre down, I will send
them a card. I hope it makes them feel better, Love says.
Love sells his work at the Northern Michigan Artists Market
in Petoskey.
In Michigan, one in five adults will experience a mental
health disorder at some point in their life, yet many of them
cannot access the treatment they need.
North Country Community Mental Health provides services to residents of Antrim, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Emmet,
Kalkaska and Otsego Counties experiencing a severe emotional problem, serious mental illness or intellectual/developmental disability, including individuals with a co-occurring substance use disorder. Persons wishing to know more
about the agency are encouraged to visit www.norcocmh.org

Study Finds Independent

Businesses Deliver Bigger Economic Benefit
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 concluded. The analysis also found that eating at a local
restaurant produces more than twice
the local economic impact of dining
at a chain restaurant.
The research firm Civic Economics
analyzed data from fifteen independent retailers and seven independent
restaurants, all located in Salt Lake
City, and compared 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 0for 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.

of a Halloween scare.
All Halloween fun aside, the proceeds from
the Forest of Fear Haunted Trail Walk go
towards local charities each and every year.
In the past, the money made from the walk
has gone to buy food for the food pantry, dog
food for the dog pound, and to send some
6th grade girls to camp. Since the opening of
the walk nine years ago, around $24,000 has
been donated to charities in the Grayling
area. Come out and walk through the Forest
of Fear this October. It is not only fun for
you, but a great way to support local charities. For more information, you can call (989)

EAST JORDAN - Fall is here, the hillsides
are vibrant with color and the East Jordan
Rotary Club Fall Color Tour plane rides are
scheduled for October 11 from 10:00 to 2:00
at the East Jordan Airport.
The East Jordan Rotary Club has been
partnering with Island Airways and the city
of East Jordan to provide an opportunity to
view the awesome beauty of fall from a new
and exciting perspective for six years. Its
been a great thing, we always enjoy the colors but never from the air, its been a unique
addition to our community, said Mark
Penzien Club President.
This year the Club is celebrating their 75th
year in East Jordan. They are a fun group
who truly celebrates the Rotary International
phrase, Service Above Self," he said. Rotary
Club has served the East Jordan community
by sponsoring little league programs,
Christmas parties for local handicap children, activities at Camp Daggett, the annual
Father & Son Banquet which honors a Father
of the Year, middle school mentoring programs, high school Strive programs,
International Student Exchanges, the Lingap
Orphanage in the Philippines as well as
administering a multitude of endowed schol-
arships through the Charlevoix County

Community Foundation for the dreams and
development of East Jordan youth. They
have also developed the East Jordan Skate
Park and are currently assisting the East
Jordan Lions Club in the creation of a Disk
Golf Course at the East Jordan Community
Park. Each of our activities are designed to
add value to our community beyond mere
funds. They add a sense of adventure in the
creation of a community. A good example is
our Rotary Variety Shows motto: What we
lack in talent, we make up in props. Its the
reflection of what we have and how its put
together. The show is our conversation with
the community for growth and development
possibilities through fun and flare. The celebrating of who we are and the possibilities
for that future together, said Penzien.
In recent years, the club's fundraising
activities have included chili dinners in the
winter and the East Jordan Rotary Variety
Show held every spring. Monies from these
events as well as the color tours are used to
fund the many community services the club
provides.
The airport is located just southeast of
town on M-32. The cost is $20 per person. In
the event of rain the rides will be reschedule
on October 18th.

Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra Concert in

Bay View Friday
Slavonic Celebration is the focus for an
October 5th concert presented by the Great
Lakes Chamber Orchestra in Bay Views Hall
Auditorium at 4:00 pm. The concert will feature works by Anton Dvorak and Jean
Sibelius that combine elements of romance,
ethnicity, and nationalism. Both of these
composers, indicates conductor Dr. Libor
Ondras, sought to infuse romantic language
with inflections from their ethnic musical
heritage. Sibelius wanted to create a
Scandinavian sensibility, while Dvorak gravitated towards Bohemian folk dances and folk
songs.
Ondras urges concertgoers to pay attention to the sublime artistry of Dylana
Jensons playing. JensonSundays featured
violinistreceived a Silver Medal at the
International Tchaikovsky Competition
when she was 17 and made her Carnegie
Hall debut two years later playing this concerto with the Philadelphia Orchestra. She
is a true artist who is intimately familiar with
this concerto, Ondras says. She matches
the beauty of Northern Michigans hues of
changing leaves with subtle shades of tone
color.
Like Jenson, Ondras brings extensive background preparation to Sundays concert. In
familiarizing myself with the score, I really
want to get into the mindset of the composer. I research the background of the piece,
asking what was going on in the composers
mind as he wrote it, what were societys
xxxxxxxxx
expectations and norms, what is the essence

of the piece? I like reading correspondence
if I can get my hands on published letters.
As conductor of the Great Lakes Chamber
Orchestra, Dr. Ondras seeks to perform
world class music right here at home. His
goals include diversifying programming,
reaching out to a broad, multi-generational
audience, spearheading music education

with disabilities registered with VSA Arts of
Michigan are admitted free of charge.

Dinner Theatre at Michaywe

The seventh annual Dinner Theater
Production of the Michayw Players will be
presented on Wednesday through Friday,
October 15 - 17, at the Michayw club house.
The $25.00 ticket includes an excellent buffet
dinner prepared by Chef John Kaye and his
staff, and includes salad, entree and tasty
side dishes, and dessert. A cash bar will also
be available. Dinner will be served at 6:30,
but the bar will be open for your pleasure at
6:00 or slightly before. The play will begin at
approximately 7:30, or as soon as all the
guests have been served.
This year's production departs from the
usual fare in that it will consist of three one
act plays rather than the customary three act

play. The overall production is entitled
"Triple Play," with the individual offerings
dubbed "Identity Crisis," "Deja Vu by
Design," and "Manhunting for Dummies."
All three, written by Michayw resident
Jeanne Crenshaw, are light comedies featuring Michayw residents, including Liz Lixie,
Wally McCoy, Jeff Parker, Carolyn Study, Gary
Grieger, Nan Robinson, Sally Hall, Terri
McCarbery, and many others, to a total of 27
in the combined casts. John Curry is again
our stage manager, with Judy Marden, prop
director, and Sylvia Beaudry, Makeup director. The play is directed by Jeanne Crenshaw,
assisted by Delphine Kerr.

Because of the limitations
of the theater only 100 seats
are available each night and
must be purchased in
advance at either the
Michayw clubhouse or
Saturn Booksellers in downtown Gaylord. All previous
years have been sell outs,
and interested people are
urged to purchase tickets
while they last.
Craft Show at St. John

Lutheran Church in
Cheboygan
By Jessica Boyce
For a fun way to spend this Saturday
in Cheboygan, stop by St. John
Lutheran Church for their first ever
Craft Show. From 10:00 am 3:00 pm
on October 4th, you can find some
great handmade crafts at the church
located at 8757 N. Straits Highway.
This is the very first year that the
church is holding this craft show.
Nancy Nowitzke came up with the idea
and hopes that it will be successful so
they can hold it every year. There will
be around 30 vendors/crafters at the
Craft Show and most of the booths will
be handmade crafts, but there will be a
couple businesses that will be showing
off their products. Some of the items
that will be at the show are jewelry,
walking sticks, yard art, quilted items,
dog biscuits, small handmade furniture, homemade candles, and more.
The Craft Show is free to
attend and all of the table
money (the money the vendors pay to be there) will go
towards St. John Lutheran
Church. Some of the crafters
are members of the church
and are even going to donate
all of their profits from the
Craft Show to the church.
In addition to the quilted
items that will be available
(hot, iced or frozen)

LOCAL NEWS
Change the questions to change the culture

Guest Commentary submitted by Chris
Krajewski, Domestic Abuse and Sexual
Assault Program Director, Womens Resource
Center of Northern Michigan
By the time you finish reading this sentence another woman will become a victim
of domestic violence. In the U.S., a woman is
battered every nine seconds. More than
three women are murdered each day by a
current or former partner. More than ten
million children are exposed to this abuse.
October is National Domestic Abuse
Awareness Month; a time to focus attention
on a crime that is the leading cause of injury
to women between the ages of 15 and 44
more common than automobile accidents,
muggings and cancer deaths combined.
Unfortunately, this is not someone elses
problem. With nearly one in four women
beaten or raped by a partner during adulthood, there is a good chance someone you
know is a survivor. Many parents have
recently sent their children off to collegeit
is beyond upsetting to know that 32% of college students report they have experienced
dating violence by a current or former partner.

What can we do about a problem so firmly
rooted in our culture? Perhaps the solution
can be found in the question; the right question. Instead of asking questions that scrutinize and blame victims such as, Why didnt
she leave him, we should be asking questions that focus on the real issue:
Why does he feel entitled to abuse, hurt
and/or kill his partner?
Why does he continue the abusive and
controlling behavior over and over?
What conditions in the community condone and/or promote domestic violence?
Entitlement is the belief that one is
deserving of, or entitled to, certain privileges.
Those who perpetrate domestic abuse/dating violence feel entitled to control their
partners by telling them who they can to talk
to, what to wear, how to act and how often to
check in. Emotional, verbal, financial, technological, physical, and sexual abuse help an
abuser exert control over another person.
When that control is threatened, the abuser
often escalates the abusive behavior in an

effort to regain or maintain control in the
relationship.
Beyond asking questions to help find a
solution, here are a few other actions we can
take.
As parents and/or role models, teach
young people that no one has the right to
control them and they do not have the right
to control other people. Convey to them
that love is about respect, trust and honesty
not jealousy, anger and control. When we
see examples to the contrary in movies,
ads, TV shows or daily life talk about it,
question it.
Believe survivors and hold the perpetrators of these crimes accountable for their
behavior no matter if it is a highly paid
NFL player, the clean-cut guy your daughter
is dating, or a highly respected local business
owner.
If you have questions regarding domestic
abuse or dating violence, contact the
Womens Resource Center of Northern
Michigans (WRCNM) 24-hour crisis and
information line at (231) 347-0082 or (800)

275-1995 for long distance callers. The
WRCNM is also available to speak with
social, civic, faith-based groups, as well as
schools and businesses.
An Experience with Reiki

By Deb Hagen-Foley
Literally translated, Reiki means, "spiritually guided life force energy." The word is a
combination of two Japanese words, Rei,
meaning "God's Wisdom or the Higher
Power" and Ki, "life force energy." Reiki has
been used effectively in treating nearly any
illness you can name, including chronic pain
or stress, anxiety and insomnia.
A growing body of research is showing the
positive effects of Reiki, which can be used
with other medical or therapeutic techniques. While the technique is spiritual, it
does not require a specific belief system and
is not even dependent on a belief by the
recipient that the technique will work for it
to be effective.
My spouse, Tim Hagen-Foley, has had
chronic pain for nearly 40 years, following
surgery on both ankles. His poor diet and
health habits likely contributed to his pain,
which he describes as "exceptional and difficult to tolerate." In the past two years, he
made dietary changes, including eliminating
sugary soft drinks, chocolate and most animal-based foods from his diet. The intensity
of the pain has been reduced he believes,
through the reduction of processed foods,
sugar and weight loss.
He has never been a believer in the power
of unseen forces, such as negative energies,
and the influence these might have on wellbeing. He recently spent several days in the
home of a family member
living with an emotional
abusive spouse. This family
member is very attuned to
negative energies and had
experienced the negative
energy of her spouse.
One morning, Tim awoke
with significant pain, similar
to the whiplash experienced
following a severe car accident decades earlier. From

the time he arose, the pain continued to

worsen. He began to have trouble breathing.
He recalls, "It was like something was
squeezing my lungs. It was even more confusing because I had the feeling there was
nothing wrong with my body. It felt so bad
that I was considering calling 911 but I knew
they would find nothing to treat. He contacted me and I contacted Lisa O'Keefe, a
holistic nutrition, western herbalist, and
urban sustainability specialist and Reiki
practitioner.
Lisa conducted a sage cleansing of the
home and witnessed Tim's breathing problems. After the cleansing, she performed a
Reiki session and included some general
massage. Tim states, "By the time she was
done (with a brief session) my breathing was
nearly normal and the pain had subsided
dramatically. Within a couple hours, I felt
much better, as though the whole episode
hadn't happened." She offered to perform a
complete session at a later date.
A few days later he experienced a full reiki
treatment. During a reiki treatment, you
remain fully clothed. You can lay on a bed,
massage table or the floor.
Tim states, "The best thing to do is close
your eyes, clear your mind, and be open for

WHEN IS IT TIME TO MAKE

PORTFOLIO CHANGES
The kids are back at school and
summer vacations are now just fading
memories, so it must be autumn. But
the seasons dont just move on the calendar, they also change in your life.
And, speaking of changes, youll have
to make many of them as you move
through the years and that includes
changes to your investment portfolio.
But how will you know when its time
to take action?
Just as Mother Nature sends out
signals to indicate a change in seasons blooming flowers, falling leaves,
warmer or colder temperatures, longer
or shorter days, etc. your portfolio will
frequently tell you when you need to
make adjustments. Here are a couple
of indicators you may want to heed:
Out-of-balance portfolio Even
the best stocks can lose value when the
overall market is down, but if you only
own stocks, you could take a big hit
during a downturn and if it happens
repeatedly, you may find it hard to
even stay invested. After all, stocks will
always fluctuate in value, and protection of your principal is not guaran-
teed. Yet you can at least help defend

yourself against market volatility by
balancing your portfolio with a mix of
stocks, bonds, government securities,
certificates of deposit (CDs) and other
investments, with the percentage of
each type of asset based on your individual goals, time horizon and risk tolerance.
Overweighting of individual
investments Related to the point
made above, you can also have too
much money kept in a single investment, such as an individual stock or
bond. Sometimes, this overweighting can happen almost on its own, as
when a stock, or stock-based vehicle,
has increased so much in value that it
now takes on a larger percentage of
your portfolio than you had intended
possibly bringing with it more risk
than you had intended, too. As a general rule, no single investment should
take up more than a small percentage
of your entire portfolio.
Your own life may also send you
some messages regarding changes you
may need to make to your investment
and
financial
strategies. Here
are just a few of
the milestones
that may trigger
necessary moves:
New child
Youll need to
review your life
insurance
to
make sure its sufficient to help
provide for a
newborn
or
newly adopted
child, should any-
thing happen to you. You may also

want to begin investing in a college
savings vehicle, such as a 529 plan.
New job Assuming your new job
offers you a retirement plan, such as a
401(k) or similar vehicle, youll have
some choices to make. How much can
you afford to contribute? How should
you allocate your dollars among the
investment choices offered in the
plan? How can you best integrate your
401(k) or other plan into your overall
investment portfolio to avoid duplication?
Impending retirement As you
enter retirement, you may want to
adjust your portfolio to help reduce its
short-term fluctuations and to provide
more current income opportunities. At
the same time, you may still need to
invest for growth you could be retired
for two or three decades, and youll
need to stay ahead of inflation.
Pay close attention to the messages
coming from your portfolio and from
your life. These signals will give you a
good idea of when its time to make the
right investment-related moves.

whatever feelings you receive. It wasn't

effective for me until I was open to feeling
whatever moved me. I wasn't explicitly
aware of anything going on but there were
hand motions along my body, which I
understood were directing the negative energy to leave my body. I felt better as this was
happening. It was a remarkable experience
for someone who usually needs solid tangible proof of things to be able to accept
them."
He continues, "I felt relaxed and energized
afterwards. It has been approximately four
weeks since that time and I am still free of
the chronic pain I had been experiencing
since I was 14!"
I asked Lisa how Reiki works. "Our nerves
are electrical impulses across nerve endings,
synapses effecting muscles and relaying
messages to the brain and back to muscles
again. Energy. Reiki focuses on this energy
through the seven chakras; Crown, Brow,
Throat, Heart, Solar Plexus, Sacral and Root."
A non-invasive technique, Reiki compliments other traditional treatments and can
improve outcomes in a range of physical and
emotional illness.

Building Better Bones focuses on

Osteoporosis prevention
viduals interested in the prevention, early
diagnosis, and treatment of osteoporosis.
Bone biology, bone density testing, treatment options, nutrition instruction, exercise,
and fall/fracture prevention will be discussed.
Linari will provide an overview of osteoporosis, and will be joined by presenters a
registered dietitian, and a physical therapist.
The physical therapist will go over exercises you can do to strengthen muscles,
which strengthens bones and increases bone
density, and ways to keep yourself safe so
you dont injure your back, or slip and fall,
Linari said.
registered dietitian will educate attendees
on making proper dietary choices to increase
Petoskey Osteoporosis can be a silent

disease, one that causes the thinning of
bones, which then causes bones to become
fragile and more likely to fracture.
Its a disease that people often dont realize they have until they fracture their hip,
wrist, or ankle, said Linda Linari, RN, BSN,
ONC, an orthopedic nurse clinician with
McLaren Northern Michigan.
Linari will share information on osteoporosis prevention and treatment during the
Building Better Bones class. It will take
place from 6 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday,
October 8 at the John and Marnie Demmer
Wellness Pavilion and Dialysis Center located at 820 Arlington Avenue in Petoskey.
The program is free and open to all indi-
calcium intake. And she

will go over reading labels.
Theres a lot of information on food labels and it
can be confusing. She will
discuss how to read the
labels appropriately,
Linari said.
Women and men, particularly the elderly, can
both suffer from osteoporosis, she added, though
it does more commonly
affect women.
Its a disease we can
prevent, or one that we can halt the progression of with appropriate medications and
education, Linari said.

Pre-registration is requested and can be
arranged by calling (800) 248-6777.

According to Joshua Meyerson, M.D.,
Medical Director for the Health Department,
annual vaccination is the single best way to
protect against the flu, and everyone six (6)
months of age and older should receive a
seasonal flu vaccine.
"Vaccination can prevent serious illness
and save lives, especially among young children and older adults, Meyerson said.
Everyone should be vaccinated, to prevent
the spread of illness."
The Health Department has vaccine in
stock, and appointments are available for flu
shots and other vaccines at its offices in
Bellaire, Mancelona, Charlevoix,
Petoskey/Harbor Springs and Gaylord. Local
schools and senior centers are also hosting
vaccination clinics in partnership with the
Health Department. Cost for seasonal flu
vaccination is $25. Medicaid and Medicare
are accepted, as well as private insurance, or
HABS (THAT IS, HARMFUL

ALGAL BLOOMS) AND HABS NOT
may look like pea soup or like long green
streaks, scum or mats on the water. But
they also can be subtle. If water looks
greenish and cloudy, and you can't see your
feet when standing knee-deep in it, get out.
That's why you should shower off with soap
and water after swimming in a lake. And
don't go boating, water skiing or ride a jet
ski through algal blooms. That exposure
can be harmful.
Get smart about fertilizer. On your lawn,
use a phosphorus-free fertilizer. (Look for
the three numbers on the fertilizer bag that
tell you how much nitrogen, phosphorus
and potassium the fertilizer contains; the
middle number should be zero.) It really
can make a difference: In one recent
University of Michigan study, phosphorus
levels in a local river dropped 28 percent
after the town of Ann Arbor banned phosphorus fertilizers. If you think your soil
needs phosphorus, get it tested first. You'll
find test kits in garden stores and online.
Repeat your test every two to three years.
Keep fertilizer, grass clippings and leaves
out of local waterways. Gotta fertilize?
Don't spread it before a heavy rain and keep
application of it at least 25 feet from ponds,
streams, lakes and rivers. Sweep up extra
fertilizer that lands on driveways, sidewalks or in the street. Also sweep grass and
fallen leaves off sidewalks and other paved
areas. Storm water from paved areas rushes
into drains that often lead to streams, rivers
and lakes, carrying this phosphorus-rich
stuff along with it. It can end up in distant
waterways and ultimately in the sea.
Keep a lid on pet business -- and yours,
too. Human and pet waste is another
source of phosphorus that toxic algae love
to munch. So don't let rain and snowmelt
carry it away. Pick up pet droppings. If you
have a septic system, have your tank
pumped out about every two years to prevent overflow. Get it inspected regularly, too.
In a year, an adult's "waste products"
include about 1.2 pounds of phosphorus -enough to feed 300 pounds of algae!

Flu vaccinations offer protection throughout the entire flu season, which can begin as
early as October and last as late as May.
There are two types of flu vaccines: the flu
shot, approved for use in people six (6)
months of age and older, including healthy
people, people with chronic medical conditions and pregnant women; and the nasalspray flu vaccine, approved for use in
healthy people from 2-49 years of age who
are not pregnant.

Green slime. Red tide. Brown scum. Toxic

algae blooms are fouling waterways across
North America these days -- killing fish in
Florida, sickening sea lions in California,
temporarily closing beaches on Canada's
beautiful Pelee Island and even shutting off
tap water to 400,000 residents of Toledo,
Ohio, for two days after this gunk grew too
close to water-intake pipes in Lake Erie.
Those toxic algae blooms aren't really made
up of sea plants; the creatures photosynthesize like a plant, but they're a collection of
nasty bacteria and other microorganisms!
Some of those microbial stews can produce
one or more toxins (they don't always) that
cause you skin irritation, gastrointestinal
problems and liver failure in rare cases, and
kill marine life. The toxins can also harm
pets and livestock. And even a non-toxic
bloom can suck oxygen from the water, suffocating fish.
Algae blooms are millions of years older
than you, but researchers think they're happening more often -- and sticking around
longer -- thanks to two factors. One is
warmer water; the other, an uptick in phosphorus levels, the algal blooms' favorite
feast. The increase in their mealtime
favorite is in large part due to fertilizer
runoff from farms and lawns. Scientists
and lawmakers are working to rein in the
problem, devoting $1.6 billion alone to a
Great Lakes Restoration Initiative to help
farmers control runoff and create wetland
filters. A dozen states now have rules that
ban, at least in part, the use of phosphoruscontaining fertilizers on lawns and golf
courses. Here's what you can do, too:
Start by steering clear of a bloom. Follow
advisories and avoid swimming in or using
water from a tainted area. (Boiling, using
disinfectants,
even filtering
at home using
activated
charcoal isn't
enough to
always make
sure water is
safe during a
ban). Stay
away if water
looks odd.
