FALL BACK
as Daylight Savings Time ends this
Sunday, November 2nd
By Jim Akans
At least its easy to remember which
way to turn the clock; as fall back and
spring forward have become semiannual catch phrases that give some
direction to the process when Daylight
Savings Time begins each spring and
ends every fall. Whats not always easy
to remember is which Sunday morning
in the spring and fall mark that transition.
Well here is the reminder you may
have been waiting for. Early this coming Sunday morning, at 2:00 am on
November 2nd, Daylight Savings time
for 2014 will officially end as millions
upon millions of clocks across the
country slip back one full hour to accurately reflect this annual event.
The confusion as to when DST starts
and ends is understandable. The time

Cheboygan has a new building supply store that
has a complete line of building supplies from
lumber to carpet. Bernard Building Center opened
in September after Labor Day and had their official Grand Opening on October 18th. The store is
not fully stocked yet, but they are up and running
for all your building needs.
Ron Tallman is the manager at the Cheboygan
store and the Bernard Brothers, Bryon, Bruce, and
Daryn, are the owners of this store and three others in Michigan. The Bernard family opened their
original location in Hale, Michigan and now have
three others in Hillman, AuGres, and Cheboygan.
Berk and Beatty Bernard started a new business
in 1958 under the name of Bernard Woodworking.
A 20' x 40' shop was built right next to their home
for the manufacture of wood windows. Berk was
the only employee and Beatty kept the books,
helping with deliveries when needed.
Several additions were built as the business
grew during the next few years. In 1965 the shop
was moved from the original site to a lot just
north of their home. In 1966 another addition and
a display room were added, making space for a

In 1969, the Hale Lumber Company, located one

became Bernard Lumber Company.
The corporation's name was changed to
Bernard Building Center, Inc. in 1984. The new
name more accurately described the business,
which had gradually become a home center, with

FALL
Crooked Tree Arts Center School of Ballet
presents the eighth annual Fall for Dance on
Sunday, November 2 at 7:00 pm. The preprofessional dancers will take the stage at
the Harbor Springs Performing Arts Center
for this fundraising event in support of the
center.
Fall for Dance is a completely studentchoreographed show. It gives the dancers the
opportunity to explore new fields of dance
and express themselves in a different way.
This year, choreographers chose a piece of
literature to inspire their work. The choreographers design every aspect of this show
from costume to choreography to lighting.
St. Ignace resident, Michael Menghini, the
student director of Fall for Dance, says that
he feels very fortunate to be given this
opportunity. I have participated in Fall for
Dance for the past six years, and each year is
uniquely brilliant. I have had the pleasure of
working with each choreographer as they
develop their pieces. It is incredible to watch
their concepts come across to the dancers. I

saw that their patients were frequently overwhelmed with the number of handouts and
flyers provided by many education progams.
These materials are a great reference for
patients but can be difficult to keep track of.
If patients cant easily locate them, how will
they follow their plan a few months from
now? Miller asked. When we began work
on our booklet, we wanted to make sure it
was something that would be interesting,
easy to read, and informative.
What they created was an 86 page booklet
that organized everything needed to manage
the chronic illness. Beginning with an introduction to diabetes, the booklet touches on
the causes and many of the myths associated with the disease. Other sections include:
monitoring blood sugars, medications and
insulin, weight loss and nutrition, exercise,
and shopping healthy on a budget. A variety
of meal plans accompany each patients
individual plan and serve as a great resource
for meal and snack ideas. The booklet also
includes a 10 page food guide that shows the
number of carbohydrates in hundreds of
common foods and beverages as well as a
section for tracking medications, meals, and
blood glucose.
Throughout the book, special sections tie
back to the booklets Today is the Day

These medications may be helpful shortterm, but they disrupt normal sleep patterns
and often result in a "sleep-hangover," feeling drowsy the next day.
Don't use alcohol to get to sleep. Drinking
before bedtime might help you fall asleep,
but drinking alcohol close to bedtime will
disrupt the quality of sleep. As alcohol is
metabolized, it fragments sleep, leading to
awakening during the night and feeling
drowsy the next day.
Create an environment for sleep. Your
bedroom should be dark, cool and quiet.
Remove computers and the television from
the bedroom - the light from these devices
sends a message to the brain that it is daytime and disrupts the internal clock.
Watching television when you awaken during the night can hurt your ability to sleep,
not help you get back to sleep. The light
from video screens suppresses the production of melatonin, the sleep-inducing hormone, making the problem worse. If you do
awaken during the night and are unable to
get back to sleep within 20 minutes, get out
of bed and move to another room to relax until you
feel ready for sleep again.
Staying in bed while struggling to fall asleep links
the sleeplessness with the

for continued bouts of
insomnia. Use the bedroom for sleeping (and

your brain to know that

was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He
was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him,
and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4 In
Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.
FRIDAY: 1 John 2:25New American Standard Bible (NASB) 25 This is the promise
which He Himself made to us: eternal life.
SATURDAY: 1 John 5:11-13New American Standard Bible (NASB) 11 And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12
He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does
not have the life. 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the
name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.
SUNDAY: Galatians 2:20New American Standard Bible (NASB) 20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and
the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who
loved me and gave Himself up for me.

TUESDAY: Romans 5:8-11New American Standard Bible (NASB) 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ
died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we
shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. 10 For if while we were
enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much
more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 11 And not only
this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom
we have now received the reconciliation.
WEDNESDAY:
For all
that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the
boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. 17 The
world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of
God lives forever.

who sipped two or more diet drinks daily
had a 30 percent higher risk for a heart
attack in a recent University of Iowa study
of 59,614 women.
--Trigger more food cravings. People who
had diet drinks were more likely to think
about and eat high-calorie, sugary snacks, a

the opposite! In several large studies of
adults and kids, diet-soda drinkers gained
more weight over several years than those

What should you sip? Not sugary drinks!
We agree 100 percent with our friends at the
Center for Science in the Public Interest,
who say, "No diet-soda drinker should interpret the new study as license to switch to
regular soda." There's no doubt that the calorie and sugar overload in regular soda (and
bottled tea, iced coffee and energy drinks) is
bad news for your weight, your waistline,
your heart and your blood sugar. Steer clear
of lower-sugar sodas that are starting to pop
up in stores, too. They still contain a lot of
refined sugar -- nearly 9 teaspoons in a 12ounce can! Instead, do this:

reach every

The Naturalist Therapeutic Massage and Healing Arts offers a wide variety of massage techniques including Geriatric
and Oncology Massage. The office is located at 1029 Gornick Ave. Suite 103 in Gaylord.
By Jessica Boyce
Cindy Dort has been a licensed Massage Therapist since
1997 and opened up The Naturalist Therapeutic Massage
and Healing Arts in Gaylord shortly after she got her license.
She has also been a board member for the Michigan chapter
of the American Massage Therapy Association for the past
five years.
The Naturalist offers multiple techniques of massage
including Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Cranial Sacral work.
Cindy is also trained in Geriatric and Oncology (cancer)
Massage and does out-calls for the patients that cant make it
to her. Something else that she does is Compassionate Touch
Massage for dementia and Alzheimers patients.
The Naturalist is located at 1029 Gornick Ave. Suite 103 in
Gaylord. Cindys normal hours are Monday Thursday from
about 7:30 am 4:30 pm. She has a short day at the office on
Wednesdays because this is her day for her home visits for
the patients that cant make it to the office. Cindy offers a
student and a senior discount, and if you would like to know
more about pricing of the different massage techniques, you
can call The Naturalist at (989) 705-1451.
