STORY

by Damien Dennis
Gaylord - When Sandy Kuch
learned she needed a double
lung transplant, she was over-
come with a wave of emotions.
While she was happy to know
she could be saved from a life-
threatening condition, she
knew that for that to happen,
someone would have to die.
It was something we strug-
gled with for a long time, Kuch
said. We still struggle with it
sometimes.
Kuch was a longtime busi-
ness owner in Gaylord, where
she ran an antique shop. Two
days after September 11, 2001,
she sold her business due to
complications with her health.
She said that she had just felt
tired all the time and thought it
was just age catching up.
In 2009, Kuch and her hus-
band Tom traveled to the Mayo
Clinic after visiting numerous
doctors in Petoskey and Tra-
verse City to figure out what
was wrong. The doctors at the
Mayo Clinic told her she had
interstitial lung disease.
Interstitial lung disease is an
umbrella term, meaning that
the doctors knew there was an
issue with Kuchs lungs but
was unable to pinpoint the
exact cause. A year later, after
visiting with physicians at the
University of Michigan, she
was diagnosed with sclero-
derma.
Scleroderma is a rare skin
disease that sometimes attacks
a persons major organs, and in
this case, Kuchs lungs.
A year later, we decided to
try Michigan. It took them
about a year to figure out what
was going on with my lungs,
Kuch said. They said eventu-
ally I would need a double lung
transplant.
Kuch said that the only re-
maining health part of her
lungs were about the size of a
half dollar coin.
The process for Kuch to get
qualified for the transplant
took about a year. It included
not only getting put on the
transplant list but also making
sure they were prepared finan-
cially and emotionally.
Lung transplant recipient, Sandy Kuch had the chance to meet Packards mother, Pamela,
as well as Elyse and other donors who were given new life through Packards organ do-
nations. CoURtESy Photo

Krizov helped explain the
Main Street program, a state-
approved program to help com-
munities develop and
revitalize downtown districts.
According to Krizov, the pro-
gram focuses on four compre-
hensive strategies design,
economic restructuring, pro-
motion and organization.
You really have to be work-
ing on all four points for the
program to work, she said.
(But) we cant expect mira-
cles.
Its baby steps. It takes a
while to get our downtowns
back.
Communities must apply file
an application with the Michi-
gan State Housing Develop-
ment Authority, with up to
three communities potentially
being approved for the pro-
gram each year.
Krizov dispelled the notion
that the Main Street program
would help provide access to
large amounts of grants or
other funding, though some
grants are available. Instead,
the program helps communi-
ties through technical assis-
tance and training on how to
revitalize their downtown dis-
tricts.
The Main Street program
has three levels, including as-
sociate, select and masters.
Grayling is currently in its
one-year associate status, al-
lowing city officials and com-
mittee members to learn about
the program and how to apply.
Communities in the select
level are those accepted by the
state into the Main Street pro-
gram and agree to a five-year
commitment to work through
the process. While, those at the
masters level have completed
their five-year commitment
but can still receive some tech-
nical guidance, as well as serve
as mentors to other communi-
ties in the program.
Krizov said there are cur-
rently 23 communities with as-
sociate level status, including
Grayling, and just six at the se-
lect level. Another 10 have
completed the program and
moved into the masters level.
Once approved for the select
level, Krizov said communities
must meet various require-
ments, including employing a
full-time Main Street director,
have an active board and com-
mittee structure, fully fund the
program for five years through
private and public partner-
ships, submit monthly and an-
nual reports, maintain
membership in the National
Main Street Center and meet
state accreditation standards
for the program by year No. 5.
You guys are doing some-
thing cool, said Reagan, who
was also a Main Street director
in Iron Mountain. And, it
starts right now.
Reagan even disclosed that
he earned an annual salary of
$29,000 while at Iron Mountain
and $40,000 at Portland. He
added that the manager helps
serve as the program adminis-
trator, facilitator, voice, cheer-
leader and a point of contact.
But, Reagan said it is the
committee members and vol-
unteers who must participate
to make any Main Street pro-
gram a success.
You will flame out if the
manager is the whole thing,
Reagan said. But, its going to
be more led by you. You guys
will fix everything.
This is about you guys, he
added. Its much like an
Amish barn-raising.
According to Reagan, the
program has helped Portland
retain business and lowered
store front vacancies from 10
percent to about 5 percent. But,
while Main Street program are
focused on downtown districts,
Reagan said its been his expe-
rience that entire communities
benefit from the improvements
and more vital downtown busi-
ness sectors.
This is for the whole com-
munity, he said. The down-
town gets better; your whole
community gets better.
To obtain Main Street select
status, communities must sub-
mit a letter of interest, with
applications due in early De-
cember. State officials then
visit the communities in De-
cember and January, with the
communities making a presen-
tation in Lansing in February.
An announcement on which
communities are selected
would then come in late Febru-
ary 2014.
Dickinson said Graylings
Main Street efforts actually
date back to 2005 under former
city manager Allen Lowe.
Lowe is credited with structur-
ing the city to be a Main Street
community, though no applica-
tion was filed at that time.
Using the AuSable Artisan
Village as the applicant, Dick-
inson added he worked with
current city manager Doug
Baum to submit a letter of in-
terest. From there, he said oth-
ers stepped forward to support
the effort.
Baum said the GRIP steering
committee is functioning as a
subcommittee of Graylings
Downtown District Authority.
We have an excellent group
of people, Dickinson said.
You wouldnt be here tonight
if it wasnt for that excellent
group of people.
He added the steering com-
mittee does plan on filing its
Main Street application in
early December.
Were working on our appli-
cation, Dickinson told the
crowd. We have to have that
in by the first Friday in De-
cember, and we will. We will
move it forward.
Baum said, for people seek-
ing to get involved in
Graylings Main Street effort
or to donate to help fund the
project, they may call the city
office at 989-348-2131. From
there, theyll be referred to
steering committee members.
The biggest thing we need
is volunteers and the financial
help, he added. This is to
make a difference in Grayling.
Anything you can do will
help.

MACKINAW CITY Usually,
its the history of Colonial
Fort Michilimackinac that
draws thousands of visitors to
the Straits area, as they are
able to get a glimpse back into
part of Michigans rich his-
tory.
But, on Friday and Saturday,
Oct. 11-12, theres a different
reason Fort Fright. As Hal-
loween approaches, the his-
toric fort becomes the haunt of
period-dressed ghosts and
spirits from the past during
the annual celebration.
There are usually around
3,000 to 4,000 people who at-
tend the event each year, said
Kelsey Schnell, public rela-
tions and marketing officer for
Mackinac State Historic
Parks.
Fort Fright is held from 6:30
to 9:30 p.m. both nights, with
last admission being at 8:30
p.m.
Once inside, visitors are
treated to a variety of spooky
tales and folklore told by
French voyagers, goodies and
even music. And, the event
still stays true to the forts his-
tory, as the fort and its 13 re-
constructed buildings reflect
life during the areas occupa-
tion by the British in the
1770s.
And, officials are quick to
point out the event is designed
for persons of all ages, from
youngsters looking for fun and
to explore, to teens and adults
looking for a more frightening
experience.
The 2013 Fort Fright will
include an all new Demon
Walk to provide an additional
scare for visitors, while inter-
preting one of the tales from
the time, Schnell added.
According to the Mackinac
State Historic Parks website,
many of the haunting charac-
ters and entertaining tales
told at the event are drawn
from the pages of Were-
Wolves and Will-o-the-Wisps:
French Tales of Mackinac Re-
told by Dirk Gringhuis.
Those attending Fort Fright
can even read the tales for
themselves, as the book is
available at the visitors center
for $7 per copy.
And, theres even treats
along the way. Kids are pro-
vided with a Halloween bag
full of goodies, courtesy of
PNC Bank, while visitors may
also get a taste of history or,
even some popcorn as they
stroll through the different
buildings. This could include
apple cider, warm homemade
bread or taffy served by the
traditionally dressed colonial
ladies.
From the gathering of fes-
tive visitors that flock to
Mackinaw City each year,
Schnell said the event contin-
ues to grow.
Weve had tremendous sup-
port from the community and
our visitors, he said. Usu-
ally around mid-September,
we will begin to receive calls
from local businesses and
hotel operators wanting to
confirm the dates of the event
to promote it to their cus-
tomers.
Posters are distributed per-
sonally by our staff and a
number of people ask for
more than one, so they can
hang them in different win-
dows.
Tickets for Fort Fright may
be purchased at the Colonial
Michilimackinac Visitors
Center beginning Oct. 1, or
when arriving at the event.
Again, admission is allowed
until 8:30 p.m. on the nights of
the event.
Ticket prices are $20 per
family, or $7 for an adult and
$4 for children. Admission is
free for children 4 and under
and Mackinac Associates
Friend Level and above.

Fright or other events at Colo-
nial Michilimackinac, persons

All kids are terrific and here at North Ohio Elementary and South Maple , we are acknowledging 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 student 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 community to connect on a social/emotional level because good character is just as important as good grades!

Our inventory at the Fur-
niture & More showroom
changes daily and is priced
to move, states Mary Peter-
son, Director of Good Samar-
itan Food Pantry/Resale
Shop, an affiliate of the Fur-
niture & More store in down-
town Ellsworth. We offer a
wide variety of very nice
quality furniture, home
dcor accessories and appli-
ances, and the proceeds from
the sales are utilized to help
our Food Pantry serve area
families in need.
The approximately 1,800
square foot Good Samaritan
Furniture & More showroom
is located at 6517 Center
Street in Ellsworth, and
opened their doors about
four years ago. Since 1990,
Good Samaritan Family
Services has been helping
area families in times of
need through a diverse offer-
ing of services, including a
Food Pantry, guidance for
new mothers, providing
clothing, coats and shoes, as-
sistance with home heating,
and more. The Furniture &
More showroom, managed
by Evie Snyder, helps to sup-
port the Good Samaritan
Family Services mission.
Peterson notes, This is a
great place to shop and
browse for items for the
home or cottage. We are lo-
cated in a beautiful, original
building in downtown
Ellsworth that was home to
the Shooks Market for many
years. People enjoy the am-
bience of the showroom,
with vintage wood flooring
and several living area vi-
gnettes we have set up.
While we have a wide variety
of items on display, and if
there is something in partic-
ular a shopper is looking for
that we dont currently have,
we will put them on a wait-
ing list and give them a call
when an item that fits their
needs comes in.
The showroom is full of
gently used sofas, chairs, ta-
bles, dressers, beds, lamps,
pictures, household nick-
knacksjust about anything
imaginable to furnish or dec-
orate the home. The items
are donated by local individ-
uals and businesses, and do-
nations are accepted during
normal business hours.
The Good Samaritan Fur-
niture & More Showroom is
located on Center Street in
Ellsworth diagonally across
from the Front Porch Caf.
The shop is open from 10 am

I was happy to be put on the list,
but it was emotional because we
knew somebody had to die for me
to get the transplant, Kuch said.
We struggled with it and we
prayed about that. It took us awhile
to come to grips with that, and we
still fully havent.
We had to wait for a match, be-
cause you need someone with the
same height, blood and body size
for a transplant, Tom Kuch said.
The call finally came for the
transplant from staff at the Univer-
sity of Michigan at 1:30 a.m. on
July 6, 2012. The Kuchs packed up
and hit the road right away.
Kuch doesnt remember much
from that point on until she left the
hospital three months later.
She was in the hospital three
months, Tom Kuch said. Most
lung transplants require three or
four weeks to recover, but there
were a few complications.
Throughout that time, Tom Kuch
said he stayed in a hotel room pro-
vided by the university so he could
be with his wife through her proce-
dure and recovery. He spent three
months at his wifes side, but
would take occasional walks and
bike rides to keep him active.
Kuchs donor was 34-year old
Michelle Packard, a Michigan
State doctoral student who was
watching a fireworks show in
Lansing with her fianc and his
daughter. When her fiance left to
get refreshments, a stray bullet fell
from the sky and hit Packard in
the head.
Packards passing saved a hand-
ful of lives, however, including her
own sister, Elyse Packard.
Kuch is grateful for her new
lungs, but understands the pain
that the family must have felt for
their loss.
Over a year later, Kuch had the
chance to meet Packards mother,
Pamela, as well as Elyse and other
donors who were given new life
through Packards organ dona-
tions.
We met our donor family two
weeks ago at the Gift of Life in
Lansing and that was very, very
emotional, Kuch said.
Kuch, along with Pamela and
other donors, took time getting to
know each other. She said that
Pamela Packard felt her daughters
heart beat in one recipients chest,
while feeling Kuchs breath as she
breathed.
The group also planted a memo-
rial garden for Michelle in a city
park in Lansing. Tom Kuch said he
took one of their yard plants and
transplanted it to the garden in
honor of the donor.
Kuch and other Northern Michi-
gan area transplant recipients gain
a lot of support from the Organ
Transplant Support Group of
Northern Michigan, who meets
every two months at the OMH Med-
ical Building in Gaylord. All inter-
ested community members are
encouraged to attend, with their
next meeting October 17 at 6 p.m.
To this day, Kuch is still not fully
healed. A week before meeting the
Packard family and other organ re-
cipients, she was back in the hospi-
tal with pneumonia. Kuch is forced
to take it easy and cant do too
much in her daily life, but she can
still get out and enjoy life.
I still go for short walks and I
love to watch my grandkids, she
said. I try to attend all of their
basketball, football, baseball and
soccer games if I can, but I do have
to take it easy.

Psalm 129:1-3 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
1 Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up,Let Israel now say,
2 Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up; Yet they have not pre-
vailed against me. 3 The plowers plowed upon my back; They lengthened their
furrows.
Friday
Matthew 5:43-45 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
43 You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your
enemy.
44 But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so
that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to
rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unright-
eous.
saTurday
Luke 6:27-28 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
27 But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
sunday
Luke 6:35 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and
your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself
is kind to ungrateful and evil men.
Monday
Acts 7:58-60 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
58 When they had driven him out of the city, they began stoning him; and the wit-
nesses laid aside their robes at the feet of a young man named Saul.
59 They went on stoning Stephen as he called on the Lord and said, Lord Jesus,
receive my spirit! 60 Then falling on his knees, he cried out with a loud voice,
Lord, do not hold this sin against them! Having said this, he fell asleep.
Tuesday
Romans 12:11-14 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
11 not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
12 rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, 13 contributing
to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
Weds
1 Corinthians 4:10-12 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
10 We are fools for Christs sake, but you are prudent in Christ; we are weak, but
you are strong; you are distinguished, but we are without honor.
11 To this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed, and
are roughly treated, and are homeless; 12 and we toil, working with our own
hands; when we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure.
Thoughts on...How do you pray for
those who abuse you?
Perhaps one of the most difficult
things we are asked to do is to pray
for those who have hurt, or abused
us. However, the prayer isnt so
much for the other person as it is for
the one praying! Prayer changes
OUR heart and OUR motives. When
we pray, we give God room to move
in and through us. In Matthew 6:14-
15 Jesus told His listeners, If you
forgive those who sin against you,
your heavenly Father will forgive
you. But if you refuse to forgive oth-
ers, your Father will not forgive
your sins (NLT). Jesus was our ex-
ample He was falsely accused,
beaten and then murdered by the
leaders of His day, yetas He was
gasping for His last breath it was
recorded that Jesus prayed and
asked His Heavenly Father to forgive
His murderers.
A more contemporary example of
this is found in Corrie ten Boom
who wrote the book, Tramp for the
Lord. Corrie and her sister were im-
prisoned by the Germans for harbor-
ing Jews during WWII. While in the
concentration camp, Corries sister
was repeatedly raped and eventually
killed by her captors. Years later,
Corrie became a well-known Chris-
tian speaker. One night, as the serv-
ice moved into a time of prayer,
Corrie looked up in horror to see the
guard who had molested and killed
her sister walking straight toward
her. She battled the thoughts, I
cant pray for him I cant forgive
him yet, he kept coming! The man
extended his hand and that is when
Corrie gave Jesus room to move. As
she forced her hand forward she felt
Gods love enter her heart and she
was able to forgive the man whod
committed such a heinous crime.
There will be times in every persons
life when the best recourse, perhaps
the only recourse is to trust that God
alone can help us forgive and pray!
How do you pray for those who abuse you?

Financial Literacy / Personal
Finance Seminars
Tuesday Evenings (Oc-

from 6pm 7:30pm at
Grayling Elementary
School - Across the world,
people are being asked to
assume more responsibil-
ity for their financial well-
being. No longer is the
popularity of pensions to
be relied upon for your re-
tirement. Pensions have
largely been replaced by
401(k) plans and other
types of employer-spon-
sored retirement plans. In-
dividuals must now know
not only how much to save
for retirement, but also
how to invest, and how to
manage their retirement
wealth. In order to help
those interested in man-
aging their investments
and retirement wealth,
this fall Tomlyn Advisors
is sponsoring a series of
eight (8) Financial Litera-
cy / Personal Finance
Seminars. They are being
held in Crawford, Otsego
and Roscommon Counties.
We hope to see you at an
upcoming seminar. Con-

The Cheboygan
Catholic Community is
hosting the sixth annual
Cheboygan Senior Expo
on Oct. 18, beginning at
9 a.m. and running until
1 p.m.
The senior expo will
feature over 40 exhibits
and booths that will
offer valuable informa-
tion to senior citizens in
medical care, financial
services and other op-
portunities. Expo organ-
izer Cherie Precourd
said that seniors could
gain information on fi-
nancial planning, Re-
gional Ride and health
services.
It will showcase
blood pressure, flu shots
and usually banks will
have their information
set up there, Precourd
said.
She also said that area
hospitals will showcase
a bunch of medical in-
formation and services
that they offer for sen-
iors in the Northern
Michigan area.
Seniors who bring
their MediCare or other
insurance cards will be
able to get free flu shots,
health screenings and
tests done at the event.
There will be a variety
of informational topics
and discussions for sen-
iors to take part in at
the expo next week, cov-
ering topics such as
heart disease, diabetes
and safe prescription
drug storage.
Precourd said its
about half and half
medical and then other
informative topics.
Theyll have other
things like chair and
other massages, a cou-
ple of different makeup
companies will be there
and every booth has a
wonderful giveaway bas-
ket or for a donation.
She said that there
will be many giveaways
to seniors at the event
involving many of these
giveaway baskets bit
also chances for seniors
to leave with free gro-
ceries.
The Cheboygan Sen-
ior Expo will also be
providing free rolls,
juice and coffee for
breakfast as well as a
full free lunch. Lunch
will be served by The
Daughters of Isabella
volunteers.
The expo is free and
open to any senior who
wishes to attend and is
not limited to just those
in the Cheboygan area.
Most of those who
have come in the past
are from the immediate
Cheboygan area, but we
do get seniors from
Mackinaw City, Wolver-
ine and Indian River,
Precourd said. Last
year, we had around 200
people stop in and ex-
pect about 250 this year.

junction with the Dio-
cese of Gaylord and

ices, Inc. as well as with

Its harvest time again.
Of course, harvest sea-
son may not mean that
much to you if you dont
work in agriculture.
Nonetheless, you can
learn a lot from those
who do, especially in
your role as an investor.
Here are a few of these
lessons to consider:
Feed your portfolio.
Through the proper com-
bination of fertilizers
and irrigation, farmers
seek to maximize the
growth of their crops.
And if you want to give
your portfolio the oppor-
tunity to grow, you need
to feed it with the right
mix of investments. This
generally means youll
need to own a reasonable
percentage of growth-
oriented vehicles, such
as stocks and stock-based
securities. Keep in mind,
though, that the value of
these types of invest-
ments will fluctuate,
sometimes sharply and
theres no guarantee you
wont lose some or all of
your principal.
Be patient. Crops
dont grow overnight.
Farmers know that they
will put in countless
hours of work before
they see the fruits of
their labors. And they
know that, along the way,
they will likely experi-
ence setbacks caused by
a variety of issues: too
much rain, too little rain,
insect infestations, the
list goes on and on. When
you invest, you shouldnt
expect to get rich
quick and you can ex-
pect to experience obsta-
cles in the form of bear
markets, economic down-
turns, changes in legisla-
tion and so forth.
Continuing to invest for
the long term and focus-
ing more on long-term
results than short-term
success can help you as
you work toward your
objectives.
Respond to your in-
vestment climate.
Farmers cant control
the weather, but they can
respond to it. So, for ex-
ample, when its been
dry for a long time, they
can boost their irriga-
tion. As an investor, you
cant control the eco-
nomic climate, but you
can make adjustments.
To illustrate: If all signs
point to rising long-term
interest rates, which typ-
ically have a negative ef-
fect on long-term bond
prices, you may need to
consider reducing your
exposure, at least for a
while, to these bonds.
Diversify. Farmers
face a variety of risks,
including bad weather
and fluctuating prices.
They can help combat
both threats through di-
versification. For in-
stance, they can plant
some crops that are more
drought-resistant than
others, so they wont face
complete ruin when the
rains dont fall. As an in-
vestor, you should also
diversify; if you only
owned one type of finan-
cial asset, and that asset
class took a big hit, you
could sustain large
losses. But spreading
your dollars among an
array of investments,
such as stocks, bonds,
cash and other vehicles,
may help reduce the ef-
fects of volatility on your
portfolio. (Be aware,
though, that diversifica-
tion by itself cant guar-
antee a profit or protect
against loss.)
Relatively few of us
toil in the fields to make
our living. But by under-
standing the challenges
of those who farm the
land, we can learn some
techniques that may help
us to nurture our invest-
ments.

Toting brown paper
bags, 109 women partici-
pated in the 2013 Down-
town Petoskey Shopping
Scramble sponsored by
the citys Downtown Man-
agement Board.
Modeled after a golf
outing, the scramble fea-
tured 18 holes of shop-
ping. Thirty teams, with
names like the Fairway
Girls and Shopaholics,
participated. The players
paid $40 each to partici-
pate and enjoyed a day in
downtown Petoskey, look-
ing for hole-in-one dis-
counts without worrying
about sand traps. They
also received gift bags
with donations from area
merchants.
The event teed off with
a breakfast at the Perry
Hotels Noggin Room Pub,
followed by a fashion
show and lunch at the
City Park Grill. It ended
with a 19th Hole Party fea-
turing hors doeuvres at
the Whitecaps restaurant.
In keeping with the golf
theme, prizes at the party
were offered for the
longest drive (given to
the shopper who drove
the furthest to participate
in the scramble) and so
forth.
Models for the fashion
show included Amy Kuta,
Hannah Woods, Ashley
Belanger, Lindsay Har-
rington, and Alex Sulli-
van. The clothes they
wore, like fall party
dresses and suede booties,
came from local retailers
such as Robert Frost and
V2V.
Becky Goodman,
Petoskeys Downtown Di-
rector, attributes the large
turnout for the day-long
shopping scramble to the
economy being good.
Goodman added: Word of
mouth is spreading about
the event.

F
or the staff at
Hogans Jewelers
in downtown Gay-
lordit is all about
tradition. This
month, the family-
owned business celebrates
their 56th anniversary, honor-
ing a tradition of providing ex-
cellence in service and value
for over a half-century, as well
as a longstanding history of
sharing in their customers cel-
ebrations of tradition over
those years.
Betsy Hogan Sanders, owner,
states, We enjoy being part of
celebrating those special occa-
sions in our customers lives. A
jewelry purchase for an engage-
ment, wedding, anniversary,
birthday, graduation or retire-
ment is a beautiful and lasting
way to commemorate those tra-
ditions.
Hogans Jewelers 56th an-
niversary also marks the intro-
duction of a new and exclusive
line of diamonds, called the
Love Out Loud collection, fea-
turing high quality gems rang-
ing from 1/4 to 1-carat in size,
each of which are laser in-
scribed with a distinctive iden-
tification number and the
Love Out Loud message on
the edge of the diamond.
Betsy Hogan Sanders notes
the collection was inspired by a
message her late husband,
Gene, wrote for Valentines Day
radio spot a few years ago.
It had a wonderful message
about making this a year of
living and loving out loud,
she recalls, as we never really
know when our time will come
to leave this life. This new col-
lection is designed to honor
Genes legacy and to celebrate
that message to live and to
love out loud and to appreci-
ate those that we love in our
lives.
This exclusive line of loose
diamonds is hand selected to
represent the finest in cut,
color and clarity. They are also
being offered in a select line of
pendants. Each comes with an
individualized diamond report
reflecting the grade and color of
the particular diamond, and
each has an individual identifi-
cation number and Love Out
Loud message inscribed on
the edge of the diamond.
Founders Ollie and Gerry
Hogan established Hogans
Jewelers in downtown Gaylord
1958, and the business was pur-
chased by daughter Betsy and
her husband, Gene Sanders, in
1980. Throughout the stores
long history, a commitment to
provide absolute excellence in
service and value to the cus-
tomer has been the cornerstone
of this family business. That
includes offering a continually
updated selection of jewelry,
watches and clocks at virtually
every price point, the availabil-
ity of personally designed,
hand-crafted jewelry items, and
the expert resources of a sea-
soned, knowledgeable sales and
service staff.
The team at Hogans has ac-
cumulated over 200 years of
combined experience in the
jewelry industry. That includes
a loyal and dedicated sales
staff, a custom designer, two
goldsmiths, and a certified
gemologist, Eryn Collins, who
earned that designation after
graduating from the presti-
gious Gemological Institute of
America in California (GIA).
GIA developed the 4Cs and In-
ternational Diamond Grading
System, the grading standard
adopted by jewelry profession-
als around the globe.
We are truly a team here at
Hogans Jewelers, states Betsy
Hogan Sanders, We all work
very hard to provide the best
possible quality, value and serv-
ice to our customers. Everyone
on our staff still gets excited
when we receive new inventory
each day. We understand the
emotional attachment and tra-
dition that is a part of every
jewelry purchase.
The Hogans Jewelry team is
also deeply committed to the
community. A portion of the
proceeds from their Anniver-
sary Sales event running Octo-
ber 19th through November 2nd
will benefit the Otsego County
Community Foundation.
For additional information,
please contact Hogans Jewel-
ers at (989) 732-4444 or visit
their website at www.hogan-
sjewelers.com.
this month, hogans Jewelers celebrates their 56th anniversary, honoring a tradition of providing excellence in service and value
for over a half-century, as well as a longstanding history of sharing in their customers celebrations of tradition over those years.

hogans Jewelers 56th anniversary also marks the introduction of a new and exclusive
line of diamonds, called the Love out Loud collection, featuring high quality gems
ranging from 1/4 to 1-carat in size, each of which are laser inscribed with an identifi-
cation number and the Love out Loud message on the edge of the diamond. Photo

LOCAL NEWS
New stories updated daily on-line at www.weeklychoice.com
Choosing a locally owned store gen-
erates almost four times as much eco-
nomic 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 eco-
nomic 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 na-
tional restaurant chains (Darden, Mc-
Donalds, and P.F. Changs).
The study found that the local retail-
ers 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? In-
dependent 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 print-
ing. 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.

Health & Wellness
by Deb hagen-Foley
The week of October 6 is
Mental Illness Awareness
Week. Approximately 61.5
million Americans experi-
ence mental illness annually.
That equates to 1 in 4 adults.
Estimates are that one in 17
have a serious mental ill-
ness, such as schizophrenia,
major depression or bipolar
disorder.
The numbers are nearly as
staggering for those under
age 18. Approximately 20
percent of those 13 to 18 and
13 percent of 8 to 15 year-olds
experience severe mental ill-
ness annually. It is esti-
mated that by 2020, Major
Depressive illness will be the
leading cause of disability
for women and children. If
one in four Americans expe-
rience mental illness di-
rectly and their families and
friends experience mental
illness indirectly, nearly
everyone has been impacted
by mental illness in some
form.
Many of the millions with
severe mental illness are un-
treated. Approximately 60
percent of adults and nearly
half of the youth ages 8 to 15
with a mental illness re-
ceived no mental health serv-
ices in the past year.
According to the National
Alliance on Mental Illness,
half of all chronic mental ill-
ness begins by the age of 14
and three-quarters by the
age of 24. These are persons
in the prime of the lives.
However, there are often long
delays, even decades, be-
tween initial symptoms and
when people get help.
Mental illness is costly, to
individuals, families, and so-
ciety at large. Serious men-
tal illness costs America
more than $190 billion in lost
earnings each year. Mood
disorders, such as depres-
sion, are the third most com-
mon cause of hospitalization
in the US for those between
the ages of 18 and 44.
Students age 14 and older
with mental illness who are
served by special education
have the highest high school
dropout rate of any disabil-
ity group, over 50 percent.
Suicide is the third leading
cause of death for those aged
15 to 24. More than 90 per-
cent of those who die by sui-
cide had one or more mental
disorders. Veterans are over-
represented among those
committing suicide. About 1
in 5 of those committing sui-
cide are veterans, although
less than one percent of the
population is military mem-
bers. Every day, about 18 vet-
erans die as the result of
suicide.
Many of those with mental
illness can experience sub-
stantial reduction of symp-
toms through appropriate
treatment. Mental illness is
often the result of a chemi-
cal imbalance, which can
often be corrected. It is im-
portant to get treatment at
the earliest signs of mental
illness. Between 70 and 90
percent of those who receive
treatment experience a sig-
nificant reduction of symp-
toms and an improved
quality of life.
Non-treatment can results
in more serious issues. In
addition to suicidal behavior
and inability to maintain
employment, persons with
mental illness are over-rep-
resented homeless shelters,
prisons and juvenile justice
systems. Approximately 26
percent of adults in home-
less shelters have a serious
mental illness, 20% of state
prisoners and 21% of local
jail prisoners have a recent
history of mental illness,
and 70% of youth in juvenile
justice systems have at least
one mental health condition.
Often, the stigma of hav-
ing a mental illness prevents
persons from seeking treat-
ment. Individuals may at-
tempt to self medicate,
through alcohol or substance
abuse. More than 9 million
adults have both mental
health and addiction disor-
ders.

Each of us has probably
known someone with
breast cancer or has
heard a story of the terri-
fying outcome of a pa-
tient once diagnosed with
breast cancer. We have
been touched by the loved
ones in our communities
who lost their lives amid
their battles to beat it,
and those who survived
are some of the toughest
individuals we know.
October is Breast Can-
cer Awareness Month, re-
minding us each year to
detect early signs, help in
the research to find a
cure, and give hope to
those whove discovered
they have the disease.
Since 1982, Komen has
played a critical role in
turning breast cancer pa-
tients into breast cancer
survivors:
- More early detection
and effective treatment:
70% of women 40 and
older receive regular
mammograms, the single
most effective screening
tool to find breast cancer
early. Since 1990, mammo-
grams have assisted in a
33% decline in breast can-
cer mortality in the U.S.
- More hope: In 1980, the
5-year relative survival
rate for women diagnosed
with early stage breast
cancer was about 74%.
Today its 98%.
- More research: The
federal government de-
votes more than $850 mil-
lion each year to breast
cancer research, treat-
ment and prevention com-
pared to $30 million in
1982.
- More survivors: Cur-
rently, there are about
three million breast can-
cer survivors, the largest
group of
cancer
survivors
in the U.S.
Al-
though
the statis-
tics are
enlighten-
ing, not
everyone
is lucky
enough to
make an
early de-
tection or beat breast can-
cer. There are ways that
you can contribute to end-
ing breast cancer deaths,
including keeping up
with your own self-aware-
ness of this deadly dis-
ease by knowing your
body and signs that its
changing.
Its important to know
if youre at risk for get-
ting breast cancer. Con-
sult with both sides of
your fam-
ily to find
out if there
is a history
of it in
your fam-
ily. You
also want
to talk with
your
healthcare
provider
about your
personal
risks.
Second to skin cancer,
breast cancer is the next
most common cancer
found in women. Most
cases can be successfully
treated if you take pre-
caution:
- Get Screened: Talk
with your doctor about
which screening tests are
right for you if you are at
a higher risk. Have a
mammogram every year
starting at age 40 if you
are at average risk. Have
a clinical breast exam at
least every three years
starting at age 20, and
every year starting at age
40. You can sign up for a
screening reminder at
www.komen.org/re-
minder.
- Know what is normal
for you: See your health
care provider if you no-
tice any of these breast
changes: lump, hard knot
or thickening inside the
breast or underarm area;
swelling, warmth, red-
ness or darkening of the
breast; change in the size
or shape of the breast;
dimpling or puckering of
the skin; itchy, scaly, sore
or rash on the nipple;
pulling in of your nipple
or other parts of the
breast; nipple discharge
that starts suddenly; new
pain in one spot that does-
nt go away.
- Finally, make healthy
lifestyle choices: Main-
tain a healthy weight, add
exercise into your rou-
tine, limit alcohol intake,
limit menopausal hor-
mone use, and breastfeed
if you can.
Get involved in your
own health this month-
woman or man-and be-
come aware of the threats
to your body: the only
body youre given.

Its Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Mental Illness Impacts Everyone
High quality cancer care is
closer than you think, with the
opening of the new Cancer &
Infusion Center at Mercy Hos-
pital Grayling. In addition to
our already impressive list of
cancer services at Mercy Hospi-
tal Grayling, we are thrilled to
offer these new services at The
Cancer & Infusion Center.
Were looking to provide local,
high quality cancer care and a
healing environment for our
patients. This is a big step in
our continuous efforts to pro-
vide the best care possible,
right here in our community,
said Jeff Steffey, Director of
Cancer & Infusion Center at
Mercy Hospital Grayling. The
center will concentrate on com-
passionate and coordinated
cancer care in a team ap-
proach.
Some of the services being of-
fered include an on-site hema-
tologist/medical oncologist,
nurse practitioner, financial
navigator, nurse navigator, so-
cial worker, infusion nurses
and clinical pharmacist. Infu-
sion services offered are
chemotherapy and non-cancer
injections and infusions for dis-
eases such as Crohns disease,
osteoporosis, anemia, rheuma-
toid arthritis and many others.
All services are in an outpa-
tient setting and provided by
professionally trained staff.
The new center is part of the
Mercy Cancer Network and
also a developing northern
Michigan oncology network co-
ordinated by Munson Medical
Center, allowing easy coordina-
tion with other sites for serv-
ices not offered locally.
The staff includes Joshua
Ruch, M.D. and Kathy Beltz,
ANP-BC. Dr. Ruch specializes
in Hematology and Medical On-
cology. He grew up in Michi-
gan. He completed his
undergraduate degree at Hope
College and received his med-
ical degree from the University
of Iowa. He completed his in-
ternship/residency at North-
western University in Chicago
and his fellowship in Hematol-
ogy/Oncology from The Uni-
versity of Michigan. Dr. Ruch
has received several awards in
the area of hematology and on-
cology, including an achieve-
ment award from the American
Society of Hematology. Kathy
Beltz is a nurse practitioner
with special training and expe-

Every fall the American Associa-
tion of University Women Gaylord
Area Branch (AAUW) awards $500
scholarships to women who are
continuing their schooling after a
year or more away from the educa-
tional setting or who have com-
pleted one or more years of
uninterrupted undergraduate
study at the university level and
plan to continue. AAUW is pleased
to announce the scholarship recipi-
ents this year are Jessie Owens,
Maggie Cosgrove, and Breeanne
Eckstein. All three young women
are completing their undergradu-
ate degrees and have demonstrated
excellence in academics and com-
munity involvement.
Jessie Owens graduated from Jo-
hannesburg-Lewiston High School
in 2010 and is currently completing
her fourth and final year at Kala-
mazoo College. She will graduate
with a degree in business and a
minor in psychology. She also plays
on the varsity volleyball team; has
made the Deans List twice; and
has volunteered with Special
Olympics events, Race for the Cure,
and tutors at Kalamazoo Valley
Community College. Recently she
completed a summer internship in
Madrid, Spain with a travel
concierge company. She hopes to
work in international
marketing/business before return-
ing to graduate school for a Mas-
ters in marketing or business
administration.
Maggie Cosgrove graduated from
Gaylord St. Mary Cathedral School
in 2012 and is attending Central
Michigan University (CMU). In
high school she was involved in a
number of activities including the
drama club, sports, the National
Honor Society, and Student Coun-
cil. She also volunteered in the Do-
minican Republic with the Gaylord
Rotary Club. At CMU she is in-
volved with the Student Michigan

at an elementary school in Mount
Pleasant while maintaining a 4.0
grade point average. She plans to
graduate with a degree in elemen-
tary education, a major in early
childhood development and learn-
ing, and a minor in integrated sci-
ence.
Breeanne Eckstein graduated
from Gaylord High School in 2011
and is currently studying allied
health science with an emphasis in
speech language pathology at
Grand Valley State University. In
high school she was in the Na-
tional Honor Society and received
the Michigan Student Service
Award. She has continued her com-
mitment to volunteerism in college
by tutoring middle school students
in math and science, helping with a
girls science camp, and organizing
fundraisers. She is looking forward
to helping people live better lives
through her chosen field of speech
language pathology.
AAUW would like to congratu-
late these three women on their
achievements and encourages
women who are continuing their
education or going back to school
to consider applying for an AAUW
scholarship in the future. Scholar-
ship deadlines are in the spring

CHARLEVOIX - Ac-
cording to French
Nobel Prize winning
author, journalist, and
philosopher, Albert
Camus, Autumn is a
second spring when
every leaf is a flower
and here in Charlevoix
County its a perfect
time to see the spectac-
ular yellows, oranges
and reds while explor-
ing winding roads on
the way to AppleFest.
The 35th Annual Apple
Festival and Craft Show
will be happening along
the waterfront in down-
town Charlevoix this
October 11-13.
The festivals focal
point is the apple which
is Michigans largest
and most valuable fruit
crop. This year local
growers have brought
forth an abundant har-
vest and dozens of
Northern Michigan or-
chards will be repre-
sented at the festival
bringing with them
more than 30 varieties
of traditional and heir-
loom apples as well as
cider, baked goods,
honey, apple butter,
maple syrup and other
fall products like pump-
kins, squash, mums
and sunflowers. Along
with the growers, over a
hundred art and craft
exhibitors will set up in
East Park to show their
talents and sell their
wares and local non-
profit organizations
will be on hand to
warm you up with hot
food items such as chili,
hot dogs, soup, frites,
pasties, apple flappers,
and kielbasa.
This family friendly
event includes activi-
ties like face painting,
pony rides, and a pet-
ting zoo hosted by the
Charlevoix County 4-H
and the sculptor in
every family can com-
pete in the 2nd annual
pumpkin carving con-
test. Prizes are awarded
to carvers and the
pumpkins will be dis-
played in Bridge Park
during the weekend.
For those looking to
burn off stored energy
from too many gourmet
caramel apples, the
Apple Fest Family Fun
Run benefiting
Charlevoix Kiwanis
Youth Foundation be-
gins Saturday morning
with the 1 mile run
starting at 9am and a 5k
run/walk starting at
9:20am. The races will
not be timed and there
will be obstacles along
the course intended to
focus the event on fun.
Interested runners can
register online at or
find out more at .
And of course
bushels and bushels of
apples including newly
introduced varieties
like Zestars, Candy-
crisp, Crimson crisp,
and Dandee Reds along
with traditional Galas,
Cortlands, and Empires
to name a few, will line
Bridge Street. So, in the
words of American ro-
mantic poet, journalist,
and long-time editor of
the New York Evening
Post, William Cullen
Bryant, come and enjoy
Autumn...the years
last, loveliest smile, at
the Charlevoix Apple
Fest.
CharlevoixAppleFest
thisweekend
During the AppleFest take the opportunity to
send a message to the families of the victims of
the Boston Marathon bombing. Charlevoix has
been honored to have been selected as one of the
cities to be represented on the Prayer Canvas as
it makes its way across America.
The Prayer Canvas is a grass-roots project to
honor the Boston Marathon bombing victims
and survivors, as well as the City of Boston. It is
designed to show Americas unity and humanity.
It has been traveling across the US collecting
well wishes from the public since May 2013 and
will finish up its tour in February 2014.
The public is invited to write a prayer, mes-
sage, symbol, name or paint a picture on the
Charlevoix canvas which will be on display in
the park during Apple Fest on Saturday and Sun-
day, October 12 & 13. The Prayer Canvas is in-
tended to be a symbol of America...big cities,
small towns....every walk of life. Every state will
be represented. Once the tour has been com-
pleted, all of the canvases will be sewn together
and at that point the Prayer Canvas is expected
to grow to the size of a football field, if not big-
ger. It will be presented to the City of Boston on
the anniversary of the bombings. Each victim
will receive a mounted portion of the canvas and
the remainder will hopefully hang in a city
building as a memorial to the heroes and victims
that were impacted that day. For more informa-
tion on this initiative visit www.prayercanva-
susa.com.

Samuel Seth Bernard
and May Bernard (for-
merly May Erlewine)are
currently the first couple
of Michigans thriving
new folk artists. They
have recorded and per-
formed extensively both
as a duo and as solo
artists. Both born and
raised in Michigan to
musical families with a
firm independent streak,
the Bernards first met in
2003, when he was a per-
former at the Ann Arbor
Folk Festival (using the
name Seth Barnard) and
she was attending. Both
Bernard and Erlewine
had a strong background
in songwriting and per-
forming and had tastes
that ran from folk and
blues to rock, and they
soon became partners in
music, then a couple now
married and currently
expecting. In 2003, May
Erlewine (as Daisy May, a
nickname shed had since
childhood) cut her first
album for Earthwork
Music, the independent
label affiliated with his
familys collective farm
that had already released
two discs by Bernard. In
early 2006, they released
their first collaborative
LP through Earthwork,
simply called Seth
Bernard and Daisy May,
which followed several
years of live perform-
ances as a duo. Along
with other artists affili-
ated with the Earthwork
Collective, Bernard and
Erlewine were perennial
attractions at the farms
annual Harvest Gather-
ing, a music festival de-
voted to local
independent artists and
responsible, earth-
friendly activism. The
Bernards have also been
part of the musical and
environmental activist
community in the Mid-
west, and have taken
their message across the
country and beyond the
U.S. border, participating
in educational workshops
with native musicians in
Mexico in 2008 and again
in 2010 with a trip to
Ethiopia. Their current
CD projects feature a solo
effort by May called The
Long Way Home and a
waltz album featuring
Seth with his father Bob
and Kailin Yong. Call

The Eagle Festival has
lots of fun for everyone,
both young and old. It's
for a good cause, so
come on out. All pro-
ceeds go directly to bene-

past festivals have
helped update sports
supplies and even gotten
new uniforms for the
students who play
sports. Sports are a
great way for kids to
learn goals, skills and
how to work as a team.
Help keep Fairview's
children on the field and
in the court by enjoying
all that the Eagle Festi-

livering its best Septem-
ber since 2006 with a 6
percent increase in the
U.S., outpacing the indus-
try and marking Fords
11th consecutive month
year-over-year sales in-
creases.
Were particularly en-
couraged by the excite-
ment our customers have
for the Fusion and Fi-
esta. The F-Series also
keeps delivering, with
our fifth-straight month
surpassing the 60,000-ve-
hicle mark and continu-
ing as Americas
best-selling vehicle. said
Rob DeForge, of Gaylord
Ford Lincoln.
September Ford Fusion
sales of 19,972 are up 62
percent compared with a

in the west, up 59 per-
cent. In the southeast,
Fusion is up 26 percent.
September Ford Fiesta
sales of 5,043 are up 29
percent over last year,
marking Fiestas best
September sales per-
formance ever. Through
the first nine months of
this year, Fiestas largest
retail sales market is in
the west, which is grow-
ing at the fastest rate of
all of Fiestas markets
up 41 percent.
Posting a 26th consecu-
tive monthly sales in-
crease and its
fifth-straight month
above the 60,000-vehicle
sales mark, F-Series sales
were 60,456, up 10 per-
cent.
The all-new Lincoln

ALANSON-The Ellsworth
Farmers Exchange, a farmer-
owned cooperative since 1928
opened their fifth store this past
March. The 6,000 square foot store
located in Alanson features drive
through service and like their
other stores, is completely stocked
with feeds, fertilizers, and agricul-
tural supplies.
EFE chose to locate in Alanson
because they wanted to serve
Emmet and Cheboygan counties
in their entirety. They were al-
ready delivering propane all the
way up here too, said Carol
Reiman, supervisor of the new
store. In the future they plan to in-
stall a propane distribution plant,
additional warehousing and a
bulk fertilizer storage and blend-
ing facility. The cooperative al-
ready served farmers in the
Antrim, Emmet, Grand Traverse,
Kalkaska, Crawford and Otsego
counties.
The store has two fertilizer
spreaders and one lime spreader
available for rent and offers deer
plot products, fencing supplies,
hog panels, and wood pellets for
furnaces to name just a few of the
full line of feeds and accessories at
the store. Custom feed mixes are
done only at the Mancelona &
Ellsworth stores but can be
shipped to Alanson or any bag
order over $200 can be delivered to
the customers house free of
charge.
The Alanson store is located
about 1.5 miles east of US 31 on M-
68. This locations drive through
service makes it unique from
EFEs other locations. Rain or
shine you can pull right up inside,
you pull in one door, we load you
up and go out the other side, said
Reimann. In season, the store car-
ries garden seeds, pond and lake-
front items and a full variety of
bird seeds and feeders. Their
hours of operation are M-F 8 A.M.-
5:30 P.M. and Saturday 8 A.M-2
P.M. Although EFE is a farmers
cooperative they consider them-
selves to be a one-stop shop for
farmers, ranchers, foresters, gar-
deners, landowners, homeowners,
drivers, pet and bird lovers-in
other words, there is something
for everyone.

The Headlands International
Dark Sky Park will host nation-
ally-acclaimed author Paul Bog-
ard on Friday, Oct. 18, at the
Beach House, for an event de-
signed to observe the partial
lunar eclipse, and to celebrate
the natural darkness Emmet
County has protected over the
600-acre property.
The event begins at 6 p.m. at
the entrance to the Headlands,
where attendees will observe
the partial lunar eclipse with
Dark Sky Park Program Direc-
tor Mary Stewart Adams. The
group will then drive to the
Beach House (or walk if youre
so inclined) for the program
with Bogard, which begins at
6:30 p.m.
Through his book The End
of Night ~ Searching for Natu-
ral Darkness in an Age of Arti-
ficial Light, Bogard takes
readers on a dynamic tour of
the state of darkness, while un-
veiling the consequences of
light pollution and light tres-
pass in contemporary culture.
Bogards book, published by
Little Brown, will be available
for sale and for signing at the
event.
Emmet County and its resi-
dents are no strangers to the
dark. In addition to Emmet
Countys Headlands property
receiving distinction as just the
6th International Dark Sky
Park in the US at the time of
designation in May 2011, the
area is home to the Outdoor
Lighting Forum. The OLFs
mission is to research and dis-
seminate information on good
outdoor lighting practices, to
promote lighting that is effi-
cient, offer safety to the public,
improve community appear-
ance and protect the night sky
environment. Area dark sky ad-
vocates were instrumental in
establishing Michigans Dark
Sky Coast legislation (through
2012s PA 251), protecting nearly
23,000 acres of state land from
the ill effects of light pollution
and light trespass in 2012. Fur-
ther, Michigan was the first
state in the U.S. to formally pro-
tect its night sky as a resource
and asset when it protected the
skies over Lake Hudson State
Park south of Jackson, MI in
the mid-1990s.
We are thrilled to be hosting
Paul here and to be providing
an opportunity for community
members to hear, from an out-
side source, about the tremen-
dously positive impact
communities such as our own
are having on this issue, said
Adams. The reviews of Pauls
book are great and glowing, and
the event promises to be in-
formative. In addition, theres a
partial lunar eclipse that night,
visible from our area, to really
set the stage.
The program is free and open
to the public.

Everyone knows that
the Gaylord Harmonie
Meisters Barbershop
Chorus loves to sing!
After their Show of
Champions in August,
they are busy preparing
for their fall and Christ-
mas season at area
nursing homes, the
Santa Parade and ap-
pearances in Roscom-
mon, Houghton Lake,
and Grayling.
Yes, the Har-
monie Meisters love to
sing. But they also want
to encourage young peo-
ple to sing the Barber-
shop style. This past
summer, the Meisters
provided $300 each in
scholarships for three
young people to attend
the Harmony Explo-
sion at Central Michi-
gan University. This
three day event pro-
vides opportunities for
young people to sing,
learn the Barbershop
style, and receive vocal
training.
The three stu-
dents who attended
were: Jordan Menne of
Gaylord High School,
Alphonse Bucklay and
Alysse Masko, both of
St. Marys High School.
All three of them were
grateful for their won-
derful music experi-
ence. Alphonse took the
time out to come to a
Harmonie Meisters re-
hearsal and personally
thanked the chorus and
Vice President Bob
Dittmann who made the
arrangements. (see
photo)
Middle and
High School students
are encouraged to talk
with their High School
music leaders if they
are interested in Har-
mony Explosion in July
of 2014. Teachers can
contact Bob Dittmann
through the Harmonie
Meisters web site, if
they have students who
express an interest.
