Streetscape Project
HOWARD CITY — On May 2,
the Village of Howard City will be-
gin a $1.4 Million streetscape im-

The Village was awarded a
$350,000 Transportation En-

tion and a $450,000 Downtown
Infrastructure Grant from the
Michigan Economic Develop-

Construction on Carson Stage Door Players present

City Hospital campus “Hallelujah Girls”
CARSON CITY — Carson City Hospital (CCH)
will begin a construction project on Wednesday,
April 20, near the entrance to its Emergency De-
partment. The project, which is expected to last
four to six weeks, will involve the construction
of a holding pad for temporary placement of the
hospital’s fixed MRI and 64-slice CT scanner
when updates or servicing need to be performed
on this important medical equipment.
“This project will not interfere with patient
care, and we are planning ahead to ensure the
least amount of inconvenience to visitors to our
campus,” said CCH President and CEO Bruce
L. Traverse, FACHE. “We are placing signage
to direct patients and visitors to temporary side
entrances during each phase of the project, and
will do everything we can to make this project as
seamless as possible.”
The first phase of the project will involve de-
State Confirms Bovine TB in two beef herds
n Alpena County has positive
tests; meetings set for
surrounding cattle owners
Lansing — Routine bovine Tuberculosis (TB)
surveillance testing conducted by the Michigan
Department of Agriculture and Rural Develop-
ment (MDARD) and the U.S. Department of Ag-
riculture (USDA) recently found two bovine TB
positive beef herds in Alpena County located in
molition of the area outside the west door near
the existing Emergency Department patient
entrance. During phase two of the project, the
Emergency Department patient entrance will be
temporarily closed and visitors will be directed
to enter through the west entrance of the Emer-
gency Department, just a few feet away from
the existing entrance. Security fencing will be in
place throughout the entire project.
“We want to thank the community in ad-
vance for their patience during this project,”
said Traverse. “We are personally notifying our
surrounding neighbors as we expect some de-
molition noise and want to minimize the impact
of this. If construction activity or noise becomes
disruptive to patient care at any time, the proj-
ect team will be instructed to cease work.”

Relations at (989) 584-3971 ext. 237.
the Modified Accredited Zone (MAZ).
“Whole-herd tests conducted on cattle farms
in the MAZ help with early detection of where
the disease is located,” said Dr. James Averill,
MDARD’s Bovine TB Program Coordinator,
“With bovine TB transmission from wildlife,
testing and movement restrictions are extreme-
ly important.”

It’s never too late to take your
life in a different direction.” Ac-
cording to director Ken Busch,
that’s the message of “Hallelu-
jah Girls” which opens April 29
at Stage Door Players Theatre in
White Cloud.
This latest production has been
written by the same group that in-
spired the TV sitcoms; “Golden
Girls” and “Designing Women”
and theatrically the plays “Dearly
Departed” and “Southern Hos-
pitality”. Busch went on, “these
shows were all hits because they
speak of life in the current South
and appeal to audiences because
of their uplifting messages and
humor”.
“Hallelujah Girls” tells the sto-
ry of a group of women who, after
the death of a close friend, realize
it’s time to achieve their dreams.
They are determined to open a spa
in a decaying church, but along
the way run into obstacles - a ri-
val from high school and the reap-
pearance of an old boy friend.
Sugar Lee, played by Dawn
Saunders of Newaygo, is their
high-spirited, determined leader
and has her hands full keeping the
women motivated. Carlene, played
by Jeanne Bock of Fremont, has
given up on romance having bur-
ied three husbands. Nita, played
by Bev Guikema of White Cloud,
is nervous - running interference
between her problematic son and
the probation officer. Mavis, De-
nise Gray of White Cloud, whose
marriage is so stagnant, is won-
dering how she can fake her own
death to get out of it. Sweet simple
Chrystal, Catherine Rombouts of
Whitehall entertains them all by
singing her own special lyrics to
familiar songs.
The comic tension mounts
when a sexy ex-boyfriend, Bobby
Lee, Ken Busch, shows up un-
expectedly, a marriage proposal
comes from an unlikely suitor and
Sugar Lee’s arch rival Bunny, Dor-
othy Galicki of Howard City vows
to stop at nothing to steal the spa
away from her.
Kristian Phillippy plays Porter
Padgette, a good hearted blow-
hard, who doesn’t know when to
shut-up, helps the women over-
come these obstacles and launch
their new, improved lives creating
many side adventures along the
way.

Forty Years
During the summer of 2009, we attended my forty year class re-union. Manhattan Christian High School, Manhattan,
Montana, 1969. We had 32 students in our class. Three have died. About half the remaining kids showed up for the dinner. It
really was a nice time. But there really was not enough time to sit and talk with each person there.
I made several interesting observations. Many of us look so much like our parents. A few have hardly changed at all in
appearance. Voices do not change much. There were several that I would not have recognized by sight, but their voices gave
them away.
In forty years some have developed a few health problems. One friend has severe degenerative arthritis in both knees.
Too many miles and too many injuries to the knees. Soon he will need joint replacements. Too late for him, but many others
could still benefit from supplements at the onset of symptoms. When the joints begin to hurt, taking Chondritin, Glucosamine,
and MSM (get it all in one capsule) with some Omega3 Oil (fish or flaxseed oil) 2000 mg 1-2 times a day will give you all the
ingredients needed to repair the damaged cartilage. This will prevent the worn out knees before sixty.
A few people have lived in the same homes that they were born in. We can use this situation as a model for cleansing. Most
of us have never done any internal cleansing of our bodies. Why? We have never been taught to do this. Sure, our parents
taught us to bath, shower and clean up the outside of our body. We keep our living spaces nice and clean. But, what about
the garage, the basement and that spare room? Maybe there is accumulated junk in our liver, bowel, body fat, kidneys,
spleen, brain as well. Maybe it is like my mother’s house. When she passed away, my siblings removed several dumpsters full of
