See the fall color from the sky

By Tina Sundelius
EAST JORDAN - Fall is here, the hillsides
are vibrant with color and the East Jordan
Rotary Club Fall Color Tour plane rides will
flying over the East Jordan area October 18
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
scholarships 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. The event was extended due to

cloudy skies and rainy weather to this weekend on October 18th.
GRANDPA SHORTERS GIFTS

PROVIDES GENEROUS SUPPORT
FOR CAMP DAGGETT
For the fourth year in a row, Grandpa Shorters Gifts has held not one, but two proceeds days to help local families send
their children to summer camp at Camp Daggett. These fundraising events are generally held on a Saturday in the
months of May and October with 20% of days sales going to the C.G. and Ruth Shorter Memorial Scholarship Fund.
Jennifer (Shorter) has been nothing short of terrific to work with, states Camp Daggetts Executive Director, Brent
Marlatt. She has a big heart and truly understands what summer camp means to local families and their children. In
fact, Jennifers 12-year-old daughter, Kaitlyn Smith, runs a lemonade stand on the spring date with all the earnings going
to the same fund in order to help youth her own age!

Boy Scouts work on merit badges at

Shoepac Lake
Troop 1 Boy Scouts seized the opportunity to
enjoy some fall colors this past weekend camping
15 miles north of Atlanta in Southwestern Presque
Isle County at Shoepac Lake.
Scouts have spent the last two meetings working on requirements for the Nature merit badge
and the Geology merit badge with Assistant
Scoutmaster Janice Adams, Senior Geologist with
the Michigan Department of Environmental
Quality. In order to complete the remainder of the
requirements, she and 8 other scout leaders took
11 scouts on a two night Karst Field Trip and
camp out. Karst refers to a Limestone Region with
many sinkholes, abrupt ridges, caverns and disappearing underground streams. Sinkholes, otherwise known as sinks or swallow holes are formed
when large circular caves in limestone collapse
due to weak acids in rainwater. Some sinks like
Shoepac Lake are filled with water while the others are dry. Scouts had the opportunity to hike
down one of the sinkholes and to hike 2.5 miles
around five sinkholes. In addition they fished,
identified leaves and rocks, learned about soil and
identified animal tracks. They even did a plaster
cast of tracks found on the trail. Back in camp,
they completed the final requirement to build a
bird feeder at which they will observe the bird
activity for the next month.

"A Scout is Reverent" Scouts say a blessing before eating each meal in camp.
"It was wonderful working with these fine,
young men. The past weekend camping trip was a
fabulous way to explorer the wonders of nature
and geology in Michigan. says Janice Adams.
Janice and her husband Tom have enjoyed scouting with both of their boys, Quade and
Trevor. Trevor is an eagle scout.

Boy Scouting is a boy led organization. In addition to earning merit badges and advancing in
rank, scouts set up camp, cook all the food and
generally look out for each other. Troop 1 is very
fortunate to have so many trained leaders and
eagle scouts who regularly participate in this
enriching program for our young men.

Did you know that more than 1 in 10 Michigan jobs are with nonprofit
organizations? The passionate people that work for these organizations help
Michigans citizens live happier, healthier lives by protecting our natural
resources, providing services like health care and education, making funding
available to better our communities and so much more. Behind every great
nonprofit organization is a dedicated group of board members who direct its
priorities and goals and are responsible for long-term planning. Giving back
to the community by serving on a nonprofit board can be a very enriching,
rewarding experience. Huron Pines and the Otsego County Community
Foundation are excited to host a Board Basics workshop on October 21 from
10am-noon at the University Center Gaylord. This workshop will be the kickoff for a new series aimed at providing training for our local nonprofit organizations. If you serve on a nonprofit board, this session is for you!
During this interactive workshop, participants of all experience levels will
learn about how to be more effective in their role as a board member. This
session will benefit local organizations who have limited access to these
types of trainings. Listening to our community and observing the many
hard-working boards, there is a need for knowledge and enrichment. If we
can help train our caring citizens on how to be effective board members,
organizations can work towards their mission and our whole community will
benefit, explains Dana Bensinger of the Otsego County Community
Foundation. Joy Leisen of Huron Pines adds, We think its very important to
start up programs like this to provide training and assistance to other nonprofit organizations in Otsego County. By partnering with the Otsego County
Community Foundation, we can help our nonprofit partners boost their own
capacity by sharing expertise on topics like strategic planning, financial
management, proposal development and more. Its a real need in Northeast
Michigan that we want to work toward meeting.
The workshop will be led by NorthSky Nonprofit Networks dynamic Jen
Booher, who brings a fresh perspective through her experience working with
diverse organizations in the for-profit and non-profit sectors, like SAAB,
Saturn and Ford motor companies, Detroit Zoological Society and Camp
Daggett in Petoskey. She notes, With most nonprofit organizations operating with limited resources, the role of nonprofit boards is becoming increasingly important. This session will provide board members with a glimpse of
what it means to be a highly effective board that truly supports the work of a
nonprofit. Topics to be discussed will include the boards role in providing

Hospice of Michigan to hold volunteer orientation
Brothers, Tom and Tim Plieman, change a tire during Kirtland

Community Colleges Homeschooler Exploration Day last year.
Gaylord Hospice of Michigan will hold volunteer orientation on Tuesday, October 21st in Gaylord.
New volunteers are asked to go through a training course
where they learn more about Hospice of Michigan, the principles of hospice, the grieving process and how to help
patients, families and staff.
The session, which will be held from 9 a.m. 3 p.m., will
take place at HOMs Gaylord office, 830 S. Otsego. Lunch and
snacks will be served and advance registration is required.
Hospice of Michigan is looking for volunteers to provide
patient companionship or grief support to clients and families in Otsego, Crawford, Montmorency, Antrim and Emmet
counties.
If you have a few hours to spare every week, you can
make a real difference in someones life, said Amanda
Fleming, Volunteer Program Coordinator. Making a cup of

tea or reading the newspaper to someone struggling with illness not only adds normalcy to their day, it gives caregivers
much-needed relief and the personal time they need.
The opportunities to volunteer are virtually limitless. Our
best volunteers have a passion for helping others. They may
or may not have a specific skill to share, but they have the
time and willingness to make a difference in the life of
patients and their families.
For more information or to register, please contact
Fleming at 989.705.2604 or afleming@hom.org. For those
who have experienced a loss, HOM encourages a waiting
period of one year before becoming a volunteer in order to
allow for the processing of grief.

Dave Kring, owner and president of
Dave Kring Chevrolet-Cadillac in Petoskey
has been honored for representing the
Chevrolet and Cadillac brands for twentyfive years here in Northern Michigan.
Joseph Gartland, District Sales Manager for
Chevrolet, presented the honor.
It been a very rewarding and exciting
time, relates Dave Kring. I had no idea
when I got out of college that I would be in
car business for so many years. I actually
started working at this dealership in 1975
when I got out of college and married. I
quickly started enjoying this business very
much and thought I would like to have my
own dealership someday.
Kring began his career unexpectedly
when he stopped into the dealership while
looking for a car to purchase. He ended up
taking a job as a bookkeeper for Budd

Tallberg and about 10 years later he purchased the dealership, taking over in 1986
and purchasing stock the following year.
Kring open a new facility in Petoskey in
2005.
He smiles, Its better to be lucky than
good! I feel I was very lucky getting a job
here in the first place. When I started there
were about twelve employees so we all did
a bit of everything. Now we have 58
employees.
Kring adds, It has been very rewarding
and I feel fortunate. We have a wonderful
team of employees and business. We are
blessed.

at 1861 US 31 in Petoskey. For additional

Downtown Petoskey presents a

Moveable Feast
Paying tribute to the many years that
Ernest Hemingway spent growing up in
Petoskey, Downtown Petoskey is set to
host a Moveable Feast, a weekend of
fun, fall activities modeled around
Hemingways hobbies. Activities will
take place Friday and Saturday, October
17th and 18th.
On Friday, kick off the weekend at
the launch party for Petoskeys
Restaurant Week at City Park Grill with
a Hemingway Happy Hour! From 4:30
to 6 p.m. step back in time with
Hemingway inspired cocktails, door
prizes, half off appetizers, and music by
Sean Bielby. There will be a suggested
donation at the door with proceeds
going to Manna Food Pantry with City
Park Grill matching donations up to
$500.
Join us on Lake Street at 6 p.m. for
Squash Bowling! Take your pick of
squash and roll for a turkey to win
Downtown Treasure Certificates.
Lace up your shoes for the Saturday

morning Fun Run with the Bulls! The
3ish mile fun run starts in Pennsylvania
Park by Bay Street, follows the new
Downtown Pathway by Arlington Street,
loops through Bay View, and finishes
back in Pennsylvania Park. Registration
starts at 8 a.m. and the fun run starts at
9 p.m. The entry fee is $10, and each
participant will get a set of bull horns.
Runners, walkers, and strollers are welcome. Runners who beat the bull will
get a Downtown Treasure!
And finally all day Friday and
Saturday, participate in the Selfies for
Shopping contest by feasting your eyes
on the Downtown Petoskeys merchant
windows during A Moveable Feast!
Stroll from window to window searching out the local fall produce item, snap
a selfie in front of the window, and
upload it to the Facebook Event Page, A
Moveable Feast, with the hashtag
#PetoskeyFeast. Check back Monday,
October 20th to see if your selfies are

prize winners of Downtown Treasure
Certificates!
Whether we appreciate
Hemingways writing style or not, he
certainly was an intriguing man who
spent many summers here while growing up, explained Kate Manthei, the
Downtown Promotions Coordinator.
For the event, we adopted the title of a
posthumously published novel, A
Moveable Feast, because it reflects a
few hobbies of his that we find intriguing- namely the local food culture he
was so invested in during his travels.
With a healthy dose of creative licensing, we paraphrased a quote by
Hemingways editor that reflects the
sentiment of our event, If you are lucky
enough to have experienced Petoskey,
then wherever you go for the rest of
your life, it stays with you, for Petoskey
is a moveable feast.
Vendors sought for Petoskey High

School Holiday Fair
Crafters, non-profits with something
to sell, and home-party associates are
invited to apply for a booth for the
Holiday Craft and Gift Show to be held
at Petoskey High School, November
22nd from 10 am to 3 pm in the gymnasium. Now in its fourth year, the
shopping event has become a key

door prizes, concessions and a bake
sale of family-sized desserts and con-
fections. A raffle featuring vacation at

home prizes such dinner at the
Twisted Olive and tickets to Little
Traverse Civic Theatres December production of Annie, are also part of the
event.
Booth fees and other proceeds help
defray the costs of the PHS Senior AllNight Party, a gala celebration designed
to keep students safe on the eve of their
graduation. Historically, close to 100%
of the senior class has attended the
party, drawn by its well-known reputation for abundant food, entertainment,
and the thrill of a dawn grand prize

drawing for a used car donated by
Fletchs of Petoskey.

at $45 or $25 for non-profits. The deadline for applications is November 1st.

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.

The film, A Quest for Meaning: Myth,
Imagination & Faith in the lives and literature of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, engages
scholars from various spiritual and academic

imagination play in determining belief.
The documentary includes insights from
Dr. Reza Aslan, Dr. Christopher Mitchell, Dr.
Verlyn Fleiger, Dr. Tom Shippey, Rev. Dr.
Michael Ward, and the noted quantum
physicist Rev. Dr. John Polkinghorne.

(2004). Duncan also wrote and directed the
13 part Discovery Network series on spiritual
places of the world called Mystic Lands
(1996) and authored the book Enough to go
Around (2009).

HARBOR SPRINGS Moeller Aerospace

Technology (MAT) in Harbor Springs is the
first company in the State of Michigan
awarded money from the Michigan Skilled
Trades Training Fund (STTF) for the 201415 fiscal year. The company applied for the
grant through Northwest Michigan Works
and received more than $163,000 for training initiatives focused on manufacturing
skills. This is the second year MAT has
received a STTF grant.
MAT is a leading manufacturer of
machined parts within the aerospace and
power generation industries. Over the past
several years the company has doubled the
size of its Harbor Springs plant, and will
continue that growth with the addition of
more than four million dollars in capital
equipment purchases necessary to meet
customer demands. The company plans to
hire approximately 15 new employees in
the upcoming year and will use the STTF
grant to train its employees to operate new
equipment and manage production
processes. Northwest Michigan Works will
assist MAT in recruiting for the new positions.
The STTF was established to assist businesses in filling critical talent needs and to
provide individuals with the skills needed
for in-demand jobs. The STTF provides
competitive awards for short-term training
that boosts quality and competitiveness,
and that leads to opportunities for new
jobs and/or wage growth for existing workers.

Tribute award winners announced

Women who overcame adversity to reach
out to young people on the serious issue of
suicide prevention; who built a career advocating to protect, restore and enhance northern Michigan waters; and who aimed to
improve the lives of area women, children
and families by helping found what was to
become one of the largest, most comprehensive women's service organizations in northern Michigan. These are among the winners
of this year's Tribute Awards given by the
Women's Resource Center of Northern
Michigan (WRCNM).
In all, four women, one man and a group
of young women will be honored for their
achievements at the Tribute award reception
held at Staffords Perry Hotel in Petoskey,
from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday,
November 6. Tickets to the Tribute reception
are $25 and available by calling the WRCNM
administrative office at (231) 347-0067. Here
is a look at these individuals and some of
their accomplishments as noted in nomination submissions.
Advocacy
Lisa Clavier, anti-suicide programs in
schools, awareness and fundraising through
Kiersten's Ride.
Nominators said: "Lisa has gone above
and beyond as a mother and as a community member, bringing about conversation and
action relating to mental illness, suicide and
suicide prevention in Charlevoix and Emmet
counties.
Following her daughters suicide in 2012,
Lisa and her family struggled with an
immense sense of grief and all the complexities associated with this particular kind of
loss. Few people are able to move on from a
loss like this and turn it into something that
provides meaning in their life. Lisa has done
this.
Over the past two years, Lisa has dedicated
her time and effort to raise awareness of suicide risk and how it impacts families and the
community as a whole. In memory of her
daughter, Kiersten, Lisa started an annual
event/fundraiser called, Kierstens Ride.
Riding and caring for horses was Kierstens
favorite thing to do.
So far, in the two years she has held
Kierstens Ride, she has raised almost
$19,000, which is donated to North Country
Community Mental Health. The money
raised has enabled North Country CMH to
have educational presentations in four area
high schools, reaching thousands of students.
Lisa is an active contributor to social
change in reducing stigma and improving
awareness of mental health conditions and
encouraging young people to get help.
Following the school presentations, counselors were available to provide immediate
support for students. These counselors were
able to help 30 or more students who were
dealing with depression and anxiety. Several
of these students required immediate crisis
intervention. Without the efforts of Lisa
Clavier, these students may not have
received the help they needed that day.
Business/Professions
Gail Gruenwald, Executive Director, Tip of
the Mitt Watershed Council.
Nominators said: Hired in the fall of 1984
to serve as the staff attorney, Gail took the
helm as executive director in 1987. Since
then, she has guided the organization
through phenomenal growth and expansion
of programs. Gails leadership at the
Watershed Council has clearly resulted in
increased community awareness and action
to help protect, restore and enhance the
waters that define northern Michigan.
Like many leaders, Gail is a visionary, is a
good communicator, supports her staff and
volunteers, is creative and willing to seek out
new opportunities, and adheres to the core
values of respect, honesty and responsibility.
In addition to these attributes, Gails leadership is defined by her belief in the value of
empowering others and in the capacity of
individuals and organizations to make a positive difference.
Gail wrote the first wetland protection
guidebook for Michigan and conducted
numerous presentations to local

units of government, state legislatures and even testified before the
United States Senate on the
importance of wetland protection.
Since then, she has nurtured and
guided countless advocates to
voice the values of wetlands and
the book she originally penned has
been expanded and reprinted
numerous times in Michigan and

Mammogram Results
By Deb Hagen-Foley
Breast Cancer is the second leading cause of death for
women. Breast cancer second to skin cancer as the most
frequently diagnosed cancer among women and second to
cardiovascular disease as the leading cause of death for
women. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast
cancer in their lifetime. More than 200,000 new cases of
breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed this year.
When detected early, when the cancer is localized, the
five-year survival rate of breast cancer is 98%.
Mammograms can save lives by detecting breast cancer
earlier. Mammograms have been shown to lower the risk
of dying from breast cancer by 35% in women over age 50.
The American Cancer Society recommends annual mammograms for women beginning at age 40. The Affordable
Care Act mandates insurance companies must cover
annually mammography screening for insured females
over age 40.
When making the mammogram appointment, the
patient may be asked whether they are requesting a
screening or diagnostic mammogram. The annual mammogram is conducted when no specific symptoms of
breast cancer are present. The diagnostic mammogram is
intended to determine the significance of a symptom and
results are typically available on the same day.
Changes that may indicate breast cancer include: a

breast lump or thickening, bloody discharge from the nipple, change in the size or shape of the breast, inverted nipple, or other changes, such as dimpling, redness or pitting.
The radiologist reads the mammogram looking for abnormalities, including asymmetries and other irregularities.
An asymmetry indicates a finding in one breast that is not
duplicated in the other. Other irregularities that may
require further investigation include areas of increased tissue density in comparison to the surrounding area, clusters of calcifications, or any area of skin thickening.
An irregularity does not necessarily indicate cancer. In
most instances, these changes will not be cancerous.
Thorough screening and an accurate diagnosis is essential
If the radiologist detects an irregularity, additional screening is necessary to refine the results. Breast ultrasound or
a needle biopsy may be required for an accurate evaluation.
Mammograms are important, but self-breast exams are
also important in the detection of breast cancer. Monthly
self-exams help a woman to be familiar with the normal
condition of her breasts, so that she might recognize
changes indicating breast cancer more quickly, even
before the cancer might show up on a mammogram. If a
woman finds breast changes in a self-exam, she should see
a doctor, even if a recent mammogram was normal.

BREAST CANCER
FACTS THAT CAN
SAVE YOUR LIFE
BY MICHAEL ROIZEN, M.D.,
AND MEHMET OZ, M.D.
When it comes to diagnosing and treating breast cancer, enormous strides have
been made in the past two
decades. Earlier detection
plus better therapies and
gene-typing of cancers allow
much more directed and
effective therapies. As a
result, breast cancer deaths
have been slashed by 30 percent. But there's still a lot of
misinformation out there
about how to control your
risk.
For example, there are
claims bouncing around the
Internet that wearing a bra
can lead to breast cancer.
Nope! A definitive new study
of 1,044 women with breast
cancer found no link between
use of a bra and their cancer
risk. The type of bra, when
they started wearing a bra
and how many hours a day
they wore one didn't matter
either.
So if you're one of the
almost 300,000 North
American women who will
be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, here are the latest facts that actually might
save your life.
Fact: Women Over 40 Do
Need Mammograms
We've read headline-grabbing studies suggesting that
mammograms aren't worth it
before age 50. But we and
groups like the American
Cancer Society and the
National Comprehensive
Cancer Network believe yearly screening should begin at
age 40. (Younger if you're at
high risk.) Some research
shows this check can cut cancer deaths by 15 percent in
40-something women.
Bottom line: Don't opt out
if you're in your 40s (one in
five women with breast cancer is younger than 50). And
make sure to get regular
mammograms in your 50s
and beyond. Women of all
ages also need regular clinical breast exams, performed
by their health-care provider.
Self-checks are smart, too. Up
to 40 percent of cancers are
discovered by women themselves.
Fact: Cancer-Preventing
Tamoxifen Needs Dark
Nights
If you have hormonereceptor-positive breast cancer and take tamoxifen, a
selective estrogen response
modifier, you know that this
drug can cut your relative
risk for repeat breast cancer
by as much as 50 percent.
Now, a Tulane University
lab study suggests that your
sleep environment might
impact this medication's
effectiveness. Seems even
dim light at night reduces
your body's melatonin lev-

els, making breast cancer

cells resistant to tamoxifen.
Bottom line: The
researchers suggest taking
tamoxifen an hour or so
before bedtime to take advantage of the natural increase
in melatonin at night. Also,
wear an eye mask or only
have red-wavelength light in
your bedroom and bathroom
to block out blue-wavelength
light during sleep.
Fact: Know Your Risk
We salute Angelina Jolie
for going public with news
that she carries the BRCA-1
gene mutation, which boosts
breast-cancer risk -- by 87
percent, in her case. She then
chose to have both breasts
removed to protect herself
from her enormous genetic
risk. About 15 percent of
women who get breast cancer
have a family history, and
one in 300-500 women in the
general population carries
one of the breast-cancer
genes, BRCA-1 or BRCA-2
(rates are higher in some
groups, such as Ashkenazi
Jews).
Look at your family tree
for warning signs: Did anyone have cancer before age
50, breast cancer in both
breasts, ovarian cancer or
male breast cancer? Knowing
the answers can help you and
your doctor decide if you
would benefit from genetic
testing.
Bottom line: Determine if
you have a familial risk. But
remember, 85 percent of
breast cancers are not caused
by an inherited gene. That's
why regular mammograms
are so important!
Fact: You May Not Need a
Double Mastectomy
In many situations, removing a healthy breast might
not be necessary. A new
Cancer Prevention Institute
of California study found
that for many women with
early-stage breast cancer in
one breast, removing both
might not be the smart move.
Less-invasive treatments
turn out to produce the same
survival rates, and risk for
cancer in the healthy breast
is low.
Bottom line: If you have
cancer in one breast and are
thinking about a double mastectomy, talk with your doctor so you can weigh your
risks and benefits.
