Sitting across from the 27-
year-old soldier at the
Charlevoix library on a sum-
mer day, observing his quick
smile and steady calmness, it is surprising to nd out that he
was nearly killed in
Afghanistan when the truck in which he was riding hit an Im- provised Explosive Device and blew up.
Platoon Sgt. Troy Drebenst- edt said he was thrown into the side of the vehicle, hitting his head and suering other in-
juries. e next thing he knew he was on his feet heading
down the road, intent on nd- ing whomever planted the IED. I was extremely angry, Troy said. A medic who had noticed signs of a concussion came to get him and his superior ocer ordered him back to the truck. e other four men riding with him also sustained injuries, but no one was killed. e explo- sive device was made with the intention to kill everyone in a large radius anywhere near it.
It was 300 pounds of explo-

sives. Forty to 100 pounds is
the usual size, Troy said. It
cut a hole six feet deep across the road.
He is blessed, he says, and
he credits his character to his Christian faith and his up-
bringing. His anger dissi-
pated and he separates the
Afghan people from the ter-
rorists.
Being angry with a whole
race is buying into their big-
otry, he said.
Troys job in Afghanistan
was one of the most danger-
ous. He was part of the Com- bat Engineering Unit, known
as SAPPERS. He performed
route clearance, that is, his
job was to nd IEDs planted
by the terrorists and clear the area of them for safer travel
by the military.
Its one of the toughest
jobs, but the number one
threat to our troops are the
IEDs, Troy said.
Troy served in
Afghanistan for 10 months
and prior to that he served in
Iraq for 14 months. He is
now home in Marquette, un-
dergoing treatment for his
injuries and attending
Northern Michigan Univer-
sity. But he sees himself back
in Afghanistan within the
next two years.
Troy is the son of Marlys
and Bob Drebenstedt of
Charlevoix. Troys father is a
county commissioner who
retired from the military and
Troy grew up knowing that a
career in the military was a

EAST JORDAN
When grabbing the leash
to take Fido for a walk in
the city of East Jordan, dog
walkers are advised to grab
a disposable bag, as well.
An ordinance was intro-
duced at the city commis-
sion meeting on Aug. 3, to
amend Section 6-36 of the
Code of Ordinances. Sec-
tion 6-36 addresses re-
moval of dog feces if a dog
happens to decide a neigh-
bors lawn is the perfect
place to nd relief. But the
new ordinance adds the
language that states:
Anyone walking their dog
on property other than
their own shall be required
to have a disposable bag
.
Also at the meeting, the
city administrator updated
the commission on the
construction of the Emer-
gency Services Facility. e
main part of the building
and the EMS wing were
under a roof, allowing the
electrical and plumbing
contractors to begin their
portion of the work. ere
is still some ooring to be
poured in the Fire Wing,
the concrete walls are in
place and the roof tresses
on this portion of the
building will be up soon.
e completion target date
is early fall.
Mary Faculak, president
of the East Jordan Cham-
ber of Commerce, gave a
presentation to commis-
sioners that informed
them of what the Chamber
does for the city, and up-
dated them on events the
Chamber has sponsored.
She said she is excited
about the Main Street Pro-
gram.

Mortgage rates
sunk to record
lows again
According to
CNN Money the
average rate on
the 30-year fixed
mortgage fell to
3.94%, matching
the all-time low hit in early Octo-
ber, according to Freddie Macs
weekly mortgage rate survey.
Meanwhile, 15-year fixed-rate
loans hit a new record low of
3.21%, surpassing the record set
in October 2011.
Five-year adjustable rate mort-
gages also dropped to new depths
hitting 2.86%.
Low-interest mortgages will be
available at least through mid-
2012, according to Freddie Macs
chief economist, Frank Nothaft.
The low rates can translate into
big savings for home buyers. Five
years ago, a home buyer would
have been lucky to land a 5% rate
on a 15-year loan. On a $200,000
mortgage, that would have meant
the borrower would have paid
$1,582 a month. Should a bor-
rower land a 3.2% rate on a
$200,000 loan now, the monthly
mortgage payment would come to
$1,400 a savings of $182 a
month.
Mortgage rates tend to closely
track Treasury bond yields,
which have also been very low
lately. For the past three months,
10-year Treasury notes have often
fallen below the 2% mark as bond
investors steer clear of Europe
and its debt woes and buy U.S.
Treasuries instead.

Ahto live a life of ease on a
beautiful country estate. That
is the reward awaiting the new
owner of this classic manor lo-
cated on three beautiful acres
midway between Boyne Falls
and Vanderbilt.
The curb appeal of this home
is very impressive, featuring
solid, all-brick construction
and a Georgian architectural
influence. It is a combination
that immediately offers a sense
tradition and endurance to the
home design.
Inside, that feeling of time-
tested elegance flows through-
out the floor plan, with
generously sized living areas
laid out in a thoughtful,
lifestyle-friendly manner.
There is 1,632 square feet of liv-
ing space on the homes main
two levels, plus an additional
approximately 300 square feet
of finished space in the full
basement.
Among the many highlights
of this home are the gorgeous
hardwood flooring in the
kitchen and dining room areas,
and the beautiful fireplace in
the main living area that not
only offers aesthetic appealit
will provide a cozy spot to sit in
front of on a cold winters eve.
The kitchen is spacious and
open, just as one would expect
in country estate. It is perfect
for entertaining or preparing
anything from a holiday feast to
a casual dinner for two. There
is a convenient half-bath on the
first level, and three good-sized
bedrooms and two baths on the
upper level, including a very
large master suite.
The full basement offers a fin-
ished area that could be utilized
as a recreation room, game
room, media center, workspace,
and more. The utility room and
lots of additional storage space
round out the basement level.
There are also lots of outdoor
patio and deck spaces on this
home, providing both covered
ground level and raised upper
level vantage points for enjoy-
ing the gently rolling acreage of
fine green lawns accented by
mature pines and hardwoods.
The ambience of the property
is well tuned toward relaxation
and serenity, a hallmark of a
country lifestyle.
The home also has a central
air conditioning system for in-
door cooling during those sum-
mer days when the
thermometer rises a bit too
high, and there is an attached
two-car garage for vehicle shel-
ter and additional storage
needs.
This is a very impressive
home, and the listing price for
this stately country estate has
recently been reduced to just
$134,900. For more information
or to arrange a tour of this
home, contact Pat OBrien at
(231) 582-1700 or email Pat@pa-
tobrien.com.
