Eagle Festival in Fairview

By Jessica Boyce
Support the Fairview Eagles at their
Annual Eagle Festival this weekend, October
10th and 11th. All sports at Fairview Schools
are currently run by volunteers and students
have to pay to participate. There is no school
funding and the school does not provide any
transportation for the athletes to their games
and events. The goal of the Eagle Festival is
to support these student athletes and give
them the equipment and everything else
they need to be successful.
The Eagle Festival began in 2007 and
raised around $900 for Fairview Athletics.
Since the start of the festival, the money
raised has increased each year with $5,000
raised last year in 2013. Everyone involved
with the school and athletics in Fairview
hope that the Eagle Festival will be bigger
and better this year so the athletic programs
at the schools can be a success.
The Eagle Festival gets started at 3:00 pm
on Friday with a parade with the theme of
candy. There will be the fall sports teams and
school floats as well as local businesses in
the parade. This year, Ray and Laura Poellet
are honored at the Grand Marshals for their
service and support to the school and athletics programs. There are also some great food
contests including a Chili Cook-Off and
Apple Pie Contest taking place on Friday.
On Saturday, October 12th the Festival gets
started at 8:00 am with a Garage Sale which

will last until 4:00 pm. The sale is full of
items donated by community members and
every purchase is by donation. The Craft
Show and the Car Show will both run from
9:00 am 4:00 pm. Some of the other fun
events on Saturday are a Silent Auction from
10:00 am 2:00 pm and a Chicken Barbeque
at noon. There will also be a carnival open
from 10:00 am 4:00 pm with face painting
and inflatables. Something else exciting for
the community is a Business Expo where
local businesses can showcase their products
and services. Many local businesses will be
present such as a photographer, real estate
office, and a family that does small engine
and motorcycle repair.
It wouldnt be a fundraiser for the athletics
without some sporting events included in
the festival. There will be an Alumni vs.
Alumni Soccer Game on Friday at 6:00 pm, a
Youth Soccer Game on Saturday at 6:00 pm,
a Volleyball Tournament on Saturday at 2:00
pm, and a 5K Run/Walk at 11:00 am on
Saturday in the theme of a Maroon and Gold
Color Run.
With so many things to do at the Eagle
Festival, you are sure to find something you
will enjoy. All the money raised will go
towards the athletics at Fairview Schools, so
come out and support the Fairview Eagles.

Michelle Noirot joins the Weekly

Choice sales team
By Jim Akans
Longtime Gaylord area resident
and entrepreneur, Michelle Noriot,
has recently joined the Weekly
Choice team as Sales Associate.
Michelles retail ownership experience, enthusiasm, knowledge and
insights into effective marketing
strategies enable her to effectively
assist clients throughout the Gaylord
and Otsego County area in communicating their unique message to
their clients.
In my previous business ventures, she relates, I have been the
one choosing the best marketing
options so I understand the perspective of my clients. Gaylord is a
regional destinationpeople come
I have a very creative eye, she

notes. I have used that over the
years in marketing through many
types of media, including radio,
newspapers and television.
She adds, I am very excited to be
working at a newspaper that shares
positive information. I enjoy helping people in promoting their businesses and look forward to getting
out in the community and seeing
people on a regular basis. Its fun to
walk into a business and tell them
you are with the Weekly Choice and
hearing I love that paper!
Michelle Noirot can be reached at
(989) 732-8160 or by emailing
Michelle@weeklychoice.com
here from across Northern Michigan

to shop. What I like about the
Weekly Choice is that it reaches that
entire region. The distribution
reflects the Gaylord areas draw.
Noirot has lived in the Gaylord
area since 1980. She has been married to her husband, Jack, for 35
years and the couple have one
daughter. Her entrepreneurial spirit
struck at age 16 when she started her
first business in her hometown of
Grayling. She began working in
retail as a bookkeeper for her fatherin-law, Lem Noirot, who owned Glen
Electric and Furniture. Later she
became a co-owner of Noirot Home
Furnishings and then established her
own interior design business we she
operated for 30 years.

TERRIFIC KIDS
All kids are terrific and here at
South Maple Elementary and
North Maple Elementary 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!

authentic new items, and even some vintage
items. Our inventory comes from government auctions, from people who have retired
from the military, and we also buy new items
from the same manufacturers that supply
the government with equipment.
Highlights of those offerings included
clothing and outerwear of just about every
type; rain gear, head gear, boots, hats, helmets, even womens, childrens and infant
clothing.
They also stock camping gear, web gear,
backpacks, carry bags, and chemical protection suits (a great alternative to scent lock
suits for hunters). Among the souvenir
items in the shop are military insignia and
ribbons, medals, hatpins, patches, decals,
window stickersthe list of items goes on
and on.
The best way to see what is available is to
stop by and take a look! Pineview Military
Surplus is located at 7328 Old US 27 North in
Frederic. They are open seven days a week
from 9 am to 7 pm. Check them out on
Facebook at Pineview Military Surplus, or

Built to perform, built to last. It is a quality inherent in the equipment designed and
manufactured for military use. Thanks to
the folks at Pineview Military Surplus in
Frederic, these high quality items are also
available for campers, hunters, hikers, outdoor enthusiasts, and those who simply
enjoy well-crafted, durable goods.
Pineview Military Surplus current owners,
Dan and Christine Klatt, purchased the business back in 1997, after it had already been
in operation for about 17 years. The approximately 2,000 square foot facility located in
Frederic on Old U.S. 27 North is an amazing
wonderland for those interested in just
about any type of military surplus item. The
shop even includes a fascinating military
museum, with collections starting from the
Revolutionary War era through the current
conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan
Christine Klatt states, While the items in
our museum area are not for sale, they are
amazing to see. What we do offer in our
store is all the Government Issue military

By Jim Akans
On Friday, September 5th, an intense
storm that swept across northern Lower
Michigan resulted in major damage to the
Promise FMs main broadcast tower.
Taking a direct lightning strike, the equipment on the 100,000-watt tower located in
Atlanta was damaged beyond repair
though replacement gear is on the way and
Promise FM hopes to be fully operational
by the end of October.
Pat Scott, executive director for the
Promise FM, states, We have equipment
on order with a ship date mid-October. It
will then take about a week to get it
installed and in operation.
Our new tower should be
fully back on the air for our
Shar-athon event, which
takes place October 28th
through the 31st.

A challenge to this repair
schedule is that the equipment on the tower is 875 feet
in the air and Promise FM
shares tower space with
CMU radio. CMU will hold
their annual telethon during

can cause problems for people working on tower due to

A young girl at Mancelona Days will be

ing if our equipment is far enough from

the CMU equipment so crews can still
work safely. If we cant work, we have three
other towers and two repeaters, though the
main tower is in Atlanta. So we are still
able to broadcast using our smaller tower
in Gaylord, but we calculate we are reaching less than 20 percent of our normal coverage in this area. Right now we are primarily only reaching the Gaylord area.
Promise FMs normal coverage area
extends across most of northern Lower
Michigan, Roscommon to the south, east
to Alpena, to the Charlevoix/Petoskey area
to the west and across the Mackinac Bridge
to the north.
We appreciate peoples prayers, adds

Friendly Benefit! Kinsley Joy
Babbitt was born January 2,
2014 with undiagnosed
CHARGE syndrome and
many life threatening birth
defects. This syndrome is an
extremely complex syndrome. Babies with CHARGE
are often born with life
threatening birth defects and
breathing problems. Most
recently Kinsley has been
diagnosed with no survival
rate due to a major heart
defect. Kinsley spent over
90% of her life in the ICU
with many complications.
After lots of discussion from
many of the top heart surgeons in the U.S. they made
the best decision to not operate on Kinsley. This decision
was made because the heart
defect is just too much for
her to overcome and she
would have no chance to survive. The Kinsley Babbitt
Benefit Dinner is being held
to show support for Kinsley
and her family. Your donation
will help the Babbitt family
with the travel expenses of
many trips from the Upper
Peninsula to Ann Arbor;
unexpected medical expenses related to Kinsley's care;
and funeral arrangements.

PLEA FOR SUPPORT

There are new developments and what it really comes down to is we cannot continue operation without significant
changes. We need the community to show their interest and support by pledging on Kickstarter. IF WE FAIL TO RECEIVE
THE SUPPORT, WE ARE CLOSED, LABOR DAY WAS OUR LAST DAY, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RE-OPEN AS PLANNED.
We have put all our time and money into Gaylord Discovery Center and stretched them as far as they could ever go.
We have lived on approximately $600 per month, for over four years and reinvested all the rest. We work long hours and
late nights and have sacrificed holidays, summers, and family time. It has been very hard on us but we believe it is a
needed resource for the community.
Our dreams are so much bigger than we have been able to create. We recognize our faults and failures and we believe
they can be remedied with resources we have not had access to. First priority is adding two multi-purpose rooms for
parties, clubs, and meetings. Part of our initial inspiration was a room dedicated to construction toys, Legos, Technic,
Lego Robotics, Wood Blocks, Lincoln Logs, K'nex there is so much to get into. We are also excited for an Arts and Crafts
room focused on sculpting with Play-Doh, and Ceramics, but of course with a variety of paints and crafts. We would also
like to add more active play options, with our unique twist, as a combo Climbing Wall, Moon Pad, and Zip Line. There is
a world of exciting educational and science toys that would be great for our Toy Store. Most important our "Challenges"
have been crucial and adding details to our existing attractions plus new attractions will allow us to create dozens of
new "Quests" across a wide range of ages.
We continue to hope that with improvements our dream can be successful and our sacrifice will not be in vain.
Unfortunately, we cannot do it on our own. We have not been able to find investors, banks laugh at us, and after 12
months of pursuing Non-Profit status, it will still take too long.
Our only remaining option is crowdfunding from our community. I believe what we are asking is not such a tall hurdle, yet the community has not taken action. We need to invest $80,000 and restructure as Quest Zone. Simplified, we
need 4,000 families to buy pre-paid admission of $20. The community is big enough if we are a priority.
Are you willing to pitch in? Are you willing to volunteer? Do you feel that $20 is worth it to keep Gaylord Discovery
Center (Quest Zone) available for your family? What is their education worth? What is their happiness worth? Where else
can you go in the middle of winter? Where else can you go as an entire family? What else can you do as affordably? Show
me anywhere that gets the entire family having fun and excited about Problem Solving, Creativity, and Innovation, the
necessary skills for the new economy. Please go to Kickstarter.com and search Gaylord to make a pledge. It is simple,
quick, and the pledges only pay if the project is fully funded.
Thanks

By Jessica Boyce
The Cheboygan Physical Therapy and

The Hike for Health will take place at
the Black Mountain Forest Recreational

Head parking lot (Trail Point 17.) The
main purpose of the Hike for Health is

Mountain Forest Recreational Area.
There will be refreshments provided

snowmobiling in the winter and hunting, fishing, camping, and horseback
riding when the weather is nice. If you

20,000 Book milestone

for Char-Em United Way program
Twenty thousand books, in the hands of
area children and families, make a difference
in their lives and in the community. That is
the milestone that has recently been passed
by an educational initiative of the Char-Em
United Way (CEUW). The program, Dolly
Partons Imagination Library (DPIL), is funded
by Char-Em United Way and mails one new,
age-appropriate book every month to each
child registered. Children are eligible to
receive books from birth through age five as
long as they live in Charlevoix and Emmet
Counties. Currently there are twelve hundred
fifty-four (1,254) children enrolled and another four hundred fifty-one (451) have graduated from the program since its inception in
Aug. 2012.
A primary focus of Char-Em United Way is
to support literacy and school readiness in
Charlevoix and Emmet Counties, according
to CEUW Executive Director Lorraine Manary.
Education is the cornerstone of individual
and community success. The Imagination
Library program allows us to lay a solid foundation to support those efforts toward success.
The twenty thousand book milestone was
passed during the third quarter of this year,
with the end of third quarter numbers totaling over twenty-three thousand and climbing
every month. Each book represents the
opportunity for a child to have story time

with a family member and get the letter and

word recognition skills that will help prepare
them for school. Studies show that the more
words children hear during the preschool
years, the greater their chances of academic
success and that, regardless of income, education, or nationality, parents who have
books in their homes increase the level of
education their children will attain.
In addition to the over twelve hundred and
fifty children currently receiving books, the
program has graduated over four hundred
and fifty kids. Many of these children were
registered for the program as they entered
area preschool programs and have since had
their fifth birthday, the participant graduation
age. That adds up to over seventeen hundred
area children benefiting from this important
program.
Donations, grant monies, and fundraising
events such as the Toast to Literacy event in
February at Castle Farms in Charlevoix help
Char-Em United Way to fund this program.
Books for each child cost $30 each year or
$150 if a child is enrolled at birth and remains
in our community through their fifth birthday, a very economical investment in the
future of our community. This program is free
to all participating children and their families.
If youd like to support this program, send
donations to Char-Em United Way, P.O. Box
1701, Petoskey, MI, 49770 and indicate DPIL
or visit www.charemunitedway.org and click

Up North Electronics
Gaylords locally-owned
RadioShack dealer has new location
By Jim Akans
RadioShack has been an American
tradition in consumer electronic products for over 90 years. The familiar red
and white letter sign dots landscapes
across the United States with more
than 4,700 company operated stores,
1,500 wireless phone centers, and
more than 1,100 dealer franchises.
Here in northern Lower Michigan,
RadioShack has been a staple retail
store in Gaylord for approximately 30
years; first located on Old 27 and now
at new expanded location in the
Edelweiss Village shopping plaza.
Store manager, Jeff Morey, states,
We have moved just five doors down
from our previous location in the
Edelweiss Village. There is nearly double the space, which allows us to
expand our product lines and serve
our customers even better.
Radio Shack is truly Americas electronics and gadget playground. Up
North Electronics carries everything a
company-owned RadioShack store
carries plus additional inventory, such
as ham radios, CB radios and accessories, marine band radios plus stereo
systems for boats, a complete line of
remote control helicopters, specialty
adaptors, a huge selection of batteries,
and more.
As a regular Up North Electronics
shopper I can affirm that the store has
virtually everything an electronics tinkerer, hobbyist or digital age enthusiast could possible want or need. Even
the youngsters can get in on the fun
with the stores wide assortment of allinclusive electronic and physics sets,
such as robot kits and even a potatopowered clock.
Customers will find the Up North
Electronics staff very knowledgeable
about the items they carry, and sales
associates will assist in evaluating the
often-confusing world of electronic
products such as Nooks, Kindles, iPads, i-Pods, Consumer Cellular prepaid cell phones and more.
Store manager Jeff Morey has over
20 years of experience in the service
side of the electronics industry. That
expertise is not only valuable when
assisting customers in finding the
product that will fit their needs, it
allows Up North Electronics to offer
service for a wide array of electronic
items, including cell phones and computers. The staff understands that
excellence in customer service also

means offering a liberal return policy,
so if someone isnt sure a product is
what they need, they can take it home
and try it out.
That is a big difference when buying locally versus on-line, Jeff Morey
affirms. Being able to actually see a
product, talk to a knowledgeable sales
person about how that product suits
the customers needs, and to be able to
return a product if it doesnt. It is also
great to be able to support your local
economy when you shop.
The Up North Electronics team is
committed to excellence in customer
service, product selection and value
pricing. Building on an American tradition that began over 90 years ago,
Gaylords Up North
Electronics/RadioShack is bringing
the best in local consumer electronics
retail selection and service into the
21st Century.

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.

Madcat Ruth and percussionist Mike Shimmin will take the
stage at Crooked Tree Arts Center. Madcat and Shimmin are
kicking off the 2014/2015 Performing Arts Series at Crooked
Tree.
Peter Madcat Ruth has established an international reputation through his exhilarating, riveting virtuosity on the harmonica. His expertise on this instrument has amazed audiences world-wide. He is equally at home playing blues, folk
music, jazz, country, or rock and roll. Performance Magazine
refers to him as, "A harmonica virtuoso who is rapidly
approaching legend status."
Jazz legend Dave Brubeck says, Madcat has got to be one
of the greatest jazz soloists in terms of getting an audience.
Hes got that magical quality. It doesnt matter if hes playing a
hoe-down kind of thing that evolves into a blues and pretty
soon into jazz. Audiences here and overseas go with him all
the way. Hes into music without categories.
Michael Shimmin is one of the most in-demand percussionists in the state of Michigan. Well versed in the styles of
jazz, world, folk, rock, and classical music, he continually
proves to be a valuable asset to any musical project.
Graduating from Western Michigan University in 2006 with a
Bachelor's Degree in Music Performance, Shimmin studied
under the instruction of Judy Moonert, Billy Hart, and Keith
Hall. In 2007 he was awarded the Irving S. Gilmore Emerging
Artist Grant from the Kalamazoo Arts Council, which allowed
him to begin studies with world-renowned percussionist,
Jamey Haddad. In this ongoing relationship, Shimmin continues to study drum set, hand percussion, and rhythm.
Tickets are on sale now for Madcat and Shimmin, October

When soprano Amy Cross was asked to
develop a program for the Great Lakes
Chamber Orchestra Sunday Series Recital,
she decided to dedicate the concert to mothers everywhere at every stage of motherhood
using classical and opera music to reflect the
journey from young womanhood to old age.
Amy has found the process a particularly
profound experience, one that has brought
many thoughts and memories of her own
mother who tragically died when Amy was
just a small child. Amy is especially dedicating this concert to her mother who has
affected her throughout her
life.
This tribute to mothers program begins with a spiritual
song, followed by a series of
songs reflecting a young
womans inspiration to accomplish great things and fulfill her

Little Traverse Historical Society

announces new leadership
The board of the Little Traverse Historical
Society is contracting with a team of talented professionals to lead them into the coming years. It was announced at the Museums
special Thursday evening program on
September 25 that Jane Garver and Dylan
Taylor would begin a dual director role as of
October 1. Both are former board members,
have experience in non-profit leadership,
and are dedicated to the mission of the
Society and the Museum. Board President,
Richard Clark, said regarding the hiring, We
are very fortunate to have two highly motivated individuals with a tremendous love of
history to continue to guide and lead our
museum into the future.
Late this past summer the board reluctantly accepted the resignation of Michael
Federspiel who had served as Executive
Director for the past three years. Federspiel
cited family obligations for his departure,
stating that his commitment to the museum
and to Petoskey are strong, but that his family would always be his first priority and he
was needed and desired to be close to them
in Mount Pleasant. During his tenure,
Bishop Baraga
blessing of
Mary and
Peace Pole
CHEBOYGAN - Thursday October 4th
was the Feast Day of The Holy Guardian
Angels. After morning Mass in the chapel at
Bishop Baraga Catholic School, students,
staff, and visitors ventured outside with
Father Joseph Ortega for the blessing of the
Peace Pole by the school entrance and the
statue of Mary near the intersection of
Lincoln and Western Avenue.
Federspiel made great strides in programming, the creation of new displays, board
development, and leadership of the organization. Said Federspiel, "I am very pleased
that the society has chosen Jane Garver and
Dylan Taylor to be its new directors. I look
forward to working with them in support of
the museum and society in my new position
of "Director Emeritus! The board could not
be more pleased to know that he has agreed
to continue his service to them in this way.
Jane Garver will continue her teaching
career in the Charlevoix school district. Her
skills in education and community relations
will be especially valuable to the museums
school and special programs. Garver says, I
am thrilled at the prospect of becoming a
co-director and continuing the wonderful
work of Mike Federspiel. Im excited about
reaching out to area teachers and building
on the great programs already in place, as
well as incorporating more educational
aspects into the museum for all our visitors.
Ill admit, though, that Im most excited
about exploring the museums attic!
Dylan Taylor will also continue his posi-
tion as Point of Sales Coordinator for the

Grain Train Food Coperative. Dylan has a
degree in history and a passion for museums. Upon his appointment he said, "I am
excited to be part of the Little Traverse
Historical Society. History is the path we
have travelled to the present, I am looking
forward to discovering our area's story and
sharing that with the community.
The new co-directors schedules will allow
them to manage on-site staffing responsibilities at the museum and the broad skillset
that the combination the two of them provide, in conjunction with Federspiel serving
as Director Emeritus, will be beneficial to
future museum and society activities. The
Little Traverse Historical Society manages
the Petoskey Museum located at 100 Depot
Court. The museum building is owned by
the city but receives no tax dollar support
and is funded by donations and membership dues. Volunteer support is always welcome. Please call 231-347-2620 for more

Churchill Classic donates to home delivered meals program

Cheboygan - The Churchill Classic committee recently donated $3400.00 to the
Cheboygan County Council on Aging/Sand
Road Senior Center home delivered meals
program. Each year the Churchill Classic
trail run committee selects a local charity or
organization to benefit from the proceeds of
the run.
The committee decided that this year the
money should go towards our local senior
centers home delivered meals program. This
program is vital to our community and many
seniors rely on this program for their meals.
We are very happy to help in any way that we
can, stated Nancy Lindsay, Churchill Classic
race director. The race is a big undertaking

and we couldnt do this without the committee, the many volunteers and our sponsors.
This years sponsors, along with Citizens
National Bank include: Little Traverse
Primary Care, Durocher Marine-Division of
Kokosing Construction Company, Tromble
Bay Farms, Darrow Brothers Excavating,
Kens Village Market, Straits Area Printing,
Cheboygan Daily Tribune, Liebner
Enterprises LLC and Munro Helping Hands.
The race started in 2005 when former
Citizens National Bank president and CEO
Robert E. Churchill passed away after being
diagnosed with cancer. The bank board of
directors felt that a race in
Mr. Churchills name was a
way to pay tribute to Bob
and donating the proceeds
to local charities would leave
a legacy for his family, and
the community that he so
strongly supported. To date,
the race has donated over
$30,000 to help programs in

GAYLORD, (989) 731-1851
WHAT ARE THE KEY USES OF

CASH
As an investor, you may find that the
elements of your portfolio that seem to
draw most of your attention are stocks
and bonds. After all, these investment
vehicles, and others derived from
them, provide you with potential
growth and income opportunities
which is why you invest in the first
place. Yet, you also may find significant value in a more humble financial
asset: cash. In fact, you might be surprised at the various ways in which the
cash, and cash equivalents, in your
portfolio can help you complete your
financial picture.
One way to understand the uses of
cash is to look at the USES of cash. In
other words, consider the acronym
USES:
Unexpected expenses and emergencies Youll need sufficient cash
for situations such as a job loss, a
home repair or an unplanned medical
expense. During your working years,
you should keep three to six months
worth of living expenses in a cash
account specifically designed to meet
unexpected expenses. Once youre
retired, you may be able to get by on a

smaller emergency fund up to three
months worth of living expenses,
although you will need more for everyday spending.
Specific short-term savings goal
Are you anticipating a big expense a
wedding, a big vacation, a down payment on a new home, etc. sometime
within the next few years? If so, youll
want to set aside sufficient cash, with
the exact amount depending on your
specific short-term goal.
Everyday spending It goes without saying that youll need adequate
cash for your everyday spending needs
groceries, utilities, entertainment,
mortgage/debt payments, and so on.
Of course, while youre working, you
will probably handle most of these
costs with your paychecks, but you
may still need to set aside one or two
months worth of living expenses.
Once youre retired, though, its a
somewhat different story. While your
expenses may go down in some areas
(such as costs associated with employment), they are likely to go up in others
(such as health
care). So your
overall cost of living may not drop
much, if at all.
Consequently, it
may be a good
idea to set aside
12 months worth
of living expenses, after incorporating
other
sources
of
income, such as
Social Security
and
outside
employment. In
addition, youll have to decide on the

most efficient way of drawing on your
other sources of income, including
Social Security and investment
accounts such as an IRA, a 401(k), etc.
Its especially important to create a
sustainable withdrawal strategy for
your investment portfolio because you
dont want to run the risk of outliving
your money.
Source of investment Youll want
to have some cash available in your
portfolio perhaps 2% to 3% of the
portfolios value to take advantage
of investment opportunities as they
arise. Also, having even a small percentage of your portfolio devoted to
cash can modestly improve your overall diversification and a diversified
portfolio is your best defense against
market volatility. (Keep in mind,
though, that diversification cant guarantee a profit or protect against loss.)
So, there you have it: four key USES
of cash. Taken together, they provide
some good reasons to keep at least a
modest stream of liquid assets in
your portfolio.

Lions Week
October 5 through 11th has been designated as Lions
Week by the Michigan Senate. The more than 500 Lions
clubs in the state of Michigan are honored to be recognized for their work.
In 1925, Helen Keller spoke to the International Lions
convention and challenged the Lions to become Knights
of the blind in a crusade against darkness. That has been
the focus of all Lions clubs since. They provide glasses and
hearing aids to those that cannot afford them, conduct
vision testing for young children and many other areas.
The Lions clubs of Michigan support statewide projects
including: Leader Dogs for the Blind, Michigan Eye Bank,
Bear Lake Camp and the Lions of Michigan Foundation.
In Gaylord, the Lions club supports the Otsego County
Food Pantry and is involved in Alpenfest and the local
schools. They are currently working on upgrading the
pavilion in the park at Second St and S. Otsego.

AVOIDING
HIDDEN TRANS
FATS
Petoskey McLaren Northern Michigan invites community members to properly dispose of medications
and other items on, Wednesday, October 15 in Petoskey.
Partnering with local law enforcement, McLaren
Northern Michigan is offering a free drive through
drop-off in Petoskey on October 15 off of Mitchell Street
across from Johans Bakery from 7 a.m. 4 p.m.
Medications will be properly disposed of through an
approved hazardous waste vendor and controlled substances will be handled by the appropriate Law
Enforcement Agencies. Other items being accepted for
proper disposal or recycling at these times include, eye
glasses, hearing aids, cell phones, shoes and used
sharps. Managing and disposing of household generated sharps safely reduces pollution to the environment
and prevents injury and disease transmission from needle sticks. Household generated sharps include:
Hypodermic needles
Syringes
Lancets
These items are typically used in the home for insulin
injection or for administering medications to treat other
chronic diseases, such as allergies, arthritis, osteoporosis
and multiple sclerosis.
In 2013, the drive-through drop-off in Cheboygan and
Petoskey collected nearly 325 pounds of waste. Items collected included medications, sharps, and non-medical
items such as eyeglasses, hearing aids, cell phones, and
shoes.
BY MICHAEL ROIZEN, M.D.,

AND MEHMET OZ, M.D.
Our primary focus is to educate the public that flushing

unused medications is no longer a viable option if we want
to maintain the purity of the Great Lakes. A medication
drop-off of controlled substances, prescriptions, and overthe-counter medications here at the Hospital for proper
disposal is a better alternative. We also are taking this
opportunity to collect other items that can be recycled for
other use, said Linda Ward, chair of the Environmental
Sustainability Team at McLaren Northern Michigan.
The first 50 participants who recycle sharps will receive
a free sharps disposal kit. This event is sponsored by the
City of Petoskey Police Department.
Northern Health Plan funds help

those caught in the
HealthCare.gov Family Glitch
If you cannot afford the premiums for yourself and/or
your dependents through your employers insurance plan,
you may qualify for special financial assistance from the
Northern Health Plan.
Bruce Miller, Executive Director of the Northern Health
Plan, says the NHP Board approved a pilot program to help
people who cannot afford their employer-sponsored insurance once they add dependents. To see if you qualify, contact Nichole Cyr at the Health Department of Northwest
Michigan, (800) 432-4121.
Miller said he learned about the problem of people with
unaffordable employer-sponsored coverage from an enrollment staff member who was helping a family sign up for
insurance under the Affordable Care Act last fall.
She was approached by a person with employer-sponsored insurance who wanted to buy insurance through
Healthcare.gov the Health Insurance Marketplace
because insurance there would cost less, Miller explained.
He said the staff member looked at the details of the situation, and agreed the person could save money by getting
insurance for themselves and their family through the
Marketplace. But when she tried to help the person enroll,
she found out neither the person nor their dependents
were eligible. As it turns out, under the rules, most people

eligible for employer-sponsored coverage cannot buy
insurance through the Marketplace for themselves or their
dependents.
This problem has been dubbed the Family Glitch and
Miller said that, if you are affected by it, the Northern
Health Plan would like to talk to you. The NHP is a nonprofit corporation funded by area hospitals and county
government. It is dedicated to helping uninsured people
get coverage. It ended its old program of assistance when
the Affordable Care Act and the Healthy Michigan Program
went into effect, but it still has funds to use to fill gaps in
coverage.
The NHP Board has dedicated money to a special fund
to help people in the service area caught in the Family
Glitch, Miller said. The fund will not pay for deductibles
and co-pays, but if you qualify, you might be able to get
your employer-sponsored insurance for yourself and your
family for about the same amount of money you would pay
for the same level of insurance through the Marketplace.
If you think you may be caught in the Family Glitch,
contact Nichole Cyr at the Health Department of
Northwest Michigan at (800) 432-4121.

You know that saturated

and trans fats are two of the
Five Food Felons that you
should eliminate from your
diet to protect your heart,
brain and sex life, and to
make your RealAge younger.
Saturated fat is pretty easy to
spot. It's in all four-legged
animal products and poultry
skin, plus whole dairy and
palm and coconut oils. But
thanks to a loophole in federal rules, trans fats are hidden
in 1 of 11 processed foods,
and most of the time their
nutrition labels claim there's
zero! That's the conclusion of
a shocking new Centers for
Disease Control and
Prevention study that found
trans fats lurking in everything from cookies and
frozen pizza to dips, frozen
entrees, seasoned pasta, and
grain and stuffing mixes.
Here's what you need to
know about sidestepping
sneaky trans fat and why
we're in favor of the total
trans fat ban currently under
consideration by the Food
and Drug Administration.
Trans fats, also known as
partially hydrogenated fats,
are made by bubbling extra
hydrogen through hot oil to
create a Franken-fat that's
solid at room temperature.
It's used to improve the texture and shelf life of
processed foods.
Once widely used in everything from French fries to
baked goods, trans fats fell
out of favor after researchers
discovered that even small
quantities accelerate artery
clogging. In 2006, the FDA
required trans fats to be listed on nutrition labels. Since
then, food makers have
slashed the amount in the
American food supply by 73
percent, which some claim
has saved up to 9,000 lives a
year. We think the number is
much higher.
But a loophole lets manufacturers claim on the nutrition label that their products
with less than 0.6 grams of
trans fats per serving contain zero trans fats. The
problem is that no amount of
trans fat is safe to eat! That's
why the FDA is considering
declaring trans fat no longer
"generally recognized as
safe." That would effectively
ban partially hydrogenated
oils from being used in
foods. We hope it happens!
That change could prevent
10,000-20,000 heart attacks
and other heart "events" per
year, and save at least another 7,000 lives per year.

Until then, take these steps

to ban them from your diet:
Start with the nutrition
facts ... When buying
processed food -- anything
that's not a fruit, veggie,
plain dairy product, meat or
unadorned grain -- flip the
package over and check the
nutrition panel for trans fats.
If the number is higher than
"0," put the product back on
the shelf.
... next, read the ingredients list. As you now know,
trans fats hide out in
processed foods that claim to
have none. So if a product
says there are zero, doublecheck by scanning the ingredients list for the words "partially hydrogenated oil."
That's trans fat. If it's there,
say "no thanks."
Don't worry about "natural" trans fats in dairy and
meat. You may have heard
that bacteria in the stomachs
of cows and sheep convert
oils from the food they eat
into naturally occurring
trans fats. So far, there's no
evidence that these raise risk
for heart disease -- although
red meat does!
Away from home, steer
clear of likely offenders.
When you're out, eat smart
by avoiding the food groups
where trans fats hide most
often. Have nuts instead of
crackers, fruit instead of
cookies or doughnuts, lean
protein and veggies instead
of pizza. Your heart and
arteries will thank you:
Making swaps like this regularly could help lower your
risk for heart disease by 20
percent to 32 percent.
Do a background check on
your favorite restaurant
chains. Many fast-food and
casual dining chains have
stopped using trans-fat-laden
oils, but not all. We found
onion rings at one national
chain with 3.5 grams of
trans fat per serving; burgers
with 3-4 grams at another;
and mashed potatoes with a
smidge at a third. Plenty of
chains post their nutrition
info online. It's worth reading on your smartphone
before you order.
