GAYLORD— The city's 

$2.5-milIion plan to renovate 

the former U.S. Post Office on 

Main Street into a city hall is 

now on hold while officials 

investigate the feasibility of 

demolishing the old structure 

and constructing a completely 

new city hall building on that 

site. 

Preliminary plans for renovating 

the old post office 

completed over the summer 

by DEM Architects of Gaylord 

cost about $12,000. The 

cost for renovating the 

11.000-square-foot building 

into city offices was estimated 

to be $2.5 million. However.

Monday night to go along with

the city's involvement. 

Campbell was aJeading proponent 

of the need to participate 

with the other governmental 

entities: Otsego County, 

Bagley and Livingston townships. 

When the debating was over

to join the group by a vote of 5-

ELMIRA — Districtwide enrollment 

may be declining throughout the Gaylord

focuses on the Montessori philosophy 

of growth through a prepared environment 

and exposure to multisensory tools. 

Last year, the Montessori School student

OUR VIEW 

How does 

Montessori 

count? 

Going into its third year, Gaylord 

Community Schools' Montessori 

program in Elmira looks to finish 

the year with an approximate debt to the 

district of $ 10,000. 

Board members asked two years ago 

that the school be self-supporting at the 

end of its third year. 

The question the current board faces 

then is this; How valuable to the district 

is the Montessori program? 

A look at the raw numbers may not tell 

the whole story. 

For instance, enrollment of school-age 

children is up by 18 to 59 students this 

year at the school. That's good, with projections 

calling for 74 to be enrolled next 

year. 

Are those 18 all from outside the district? 

No. Nine of them are. Does that 

lessen the magnitude of the increase? Not 

necessarily. 

Logic follows that the remaining 11 

students are merely drawn from other 

buildings within the district which 

increases the expense per student in the 

other two elementary buildings. 

That said, the Montessori has been able 

to meet the increasing funding demands 

placed upon it; and a growing program is 

positive advertising for a district. 

The school board should exercise discretion 

in determining the fate of the 

Montessori program. Rather than holding 

it to the letter of the initial agreement, it 

seems this is a time to use the information 

gathered so far to set new timelines 

and goals. 

The Gaylord Herald Times editorial board is 

made up of publisher Jim Grisso, editor Chris 

Grosser, news editor Peter Comings, and design 

editor Frank Michels.

Editor; Chris Grosser

Living alone a change for me 

he lights shut off and the apartment 

goes silent. There is no music play- 

T ing. No television 

blaring. No murmured 

chatter. 

For the first time 

in my life, I find 

myself living alone. 

It is quite an adjustment. 

When 1 was a kid, 

I longed for my par- Jeremy 

ents to leave the 

house. Then, I could 

make like Home Alone and cause whatever 

mischief I dared to choose. 

Now I go to great lengths just to 

quench my thirst for personal contact. 

My cell phone has become my best 

fnend. My laptop computer has become 

closer than a brother. 

Sometimes I wonder if it is a person 

chatting with me on the other end or just 

a figment of my imagination. 

I eagerly anticipate work each and 

every day just so that I can have some 

honest interaction with some real, live 

Republican ideals: 

Should Scrooge 

boot Marley? 

To the Editor: 

Given the many investigations 

and indictments that have 

been announced these last few 

weeks of all levels of the 

Republican leadership, 1 am 

puzzled why Mr. Schoolcraft 

would want to be their defender 

in his Sept. 24 commentary. 

That said, I would like to point 

out a few things he may have 

overlooked. 

He stated there are two 

main reasons why energy 

prices are high — the first 

being "they want what we 

have." That may be true 

enough, but it doesn't address 

the problem. I know the vitality 

and economic growth of the 

United States are linked to 

affordable transportation. Relative 

to most countries, the United 

States is less populated and 

our development depends on 

access by highways and vehicles, 

which has always meant a 

lot of ftjel usage. President 

Carter began dealing with this 

by putting legislation on the 

books in the '70s to address our 

oil dependency. The legislation 

was geared to create better fuel 

efficiency. Unfortunately, since 

Republicans came into power, 

this legislation has been 

shelved. Making vehicles more 

fuel efficient by only a couple 

of miles per gallon would have 

covered the shortfall in production 

because of the hurricanes. 

And couldn't we all use better 

gas mileage in our vehicles 

now that we have $3/gallon 

gas? 

human beings. 

My lonely predicament isn't as bad as 

1 make it out to be, however. 

After living among a constant sea of 

people during my four years of college, a 

change of pace is a welcomed break. 

Heck, I spent my entire junior year living 

in a house of nine other college-aged 

males. 

Needless to say, my current apartment 

is a bit more tidy and the refrigerator a little 

less packed. 

What living alone has been able to do 

is give me ample time to think — about 

the important, the trivial and everything in 

between. 

Much of my fodder found in this 

newspaper has come as a direct result 

from my surplus of downtime. 

I have also made great personal 

advances, for the first time taking pride in 

paying bills, cleaning and doing the laundry. 

Plus, I never have to fight anyone over 

what to watch on the television. 

But the best benefit of this situation is 

what I feared most — being alone. 

Letters to the Editor 

there is an unwillingness to 

allow more building of new 

refineries, coal fired or nuclear 

plants. By its own admission, 

the private sector will not do 

any of this without making a 

bigger profit than on Wall 

Street or than with a plain old 

savings account. The public 

sector will have to come up 

with a heck of a deal to attract 

such a large amount of private 

investment to build these new 

plants. Republican budgets are 

now dripping in red ink, so 

should we borrow more money 

from our favorite lender, 

China, to hold up our end? 

I have trouble with Mr. 

Schoolcraft's idea that record 

profits translate to jobs and 

prosperity. It leaves out any 

ethical issues. If I apply his 

argument to Ebenezer Scrooge 

of the story, "A Christmas 

Carol," then Mr. Scrooge 

should have booted Jacob Marley 

and the Ghost of Christmas 

Past out -of his bedroom window 

on Christmas Eve and gotten 

a good night's sleep. 

Mr. Schoolcraft laces his 

commentary with accusations 

that our congressman has no 

solutions to our current problems. 

I found Rep. Stupak has 

a number of good solutions 

right on his Web site: 

www.house.gov/stupak.

the war protest in Washington, 

D.C. (Thousands protest Iraq

coverage is a slap in the face to 

Josh Dipzinski and Derrick 

Harden, both injured in the 

war, and my son, Neal Prendergast, 

currently serving in 

Mosul, Iraq. They have put it 

all on the line to try to keep the 

terrorists from killing us in our 

own back yard. 1 hope the soldiers 

just mentioned and the 

others serving from Otsego 

County did not see their local 

paper. 

Mr. Tomaski and Ms. 

Beesley say that they oppose 

"killing people for an idea." 

No kidding. What a lame statement 

that is. Maybe weapons 

of mass destruction weren't 

found this time, but terrorists 

and their training camps were 

found. The terrorists, in my 

opinion, are weapons of mass 

destruction just waiting for 

another opportunity to destroy 

us here. 

Our freedom of speech was 

won from hard battles through 

the ages. So I respect the right 

of Mr. Tomaski and Ms. 

Beesley to express their opinion. 

The protest was organized 

by "United for Peace." I 

encourage you to look on the 

Internet and see what groups 

make up the roster. Seeing the 

list confirms to me that we 

must deal with our enemies

I have spent the majority of my life an 

extrovert, feeding off interaction and conversation 

with others. I have been a social 

animal, preferring to be around a group of 

people, in as exciting a situation as possible. 

Now I often find myself in exactly the 

opposite. 

But, for someone getting married in 

just eight short months, a little me-time 

isn't such a bad thing. 

While I often find myself longing for 

the days where 1 could walk anywhere

Guest Commentary 

U-Center hosting focus groups 

to gauge life-long learning needs 

A 

s surprising as it may 

seem, the University 

Center at Gaylord is 

now in its 21 st year of operation. 

Over the years, the center 

has primarily focused on the 

delivery of for-credit programming 

for those seeking undergraduate 

and post-graduate 

degrees with a secondary 

focus on lifelong learning and 

professional deivelopment. 

More recently, career technical 

training was added to the academic 

mix by the successful 

creation of the University 

Center/M-TEC grant initiative 

resulting in an expanded partnership 

through the construction 

of a shared building, leading 

to explosive growth in student 

enrollment for almost all 

of the eight college partners. 

Although we are now serving 

more students and meeting 

more needs every year for the 

academic and career technical 

training component of our 

mission, we have never been

Curriculum and special ed 

GCS board 

agrees to post 

2 positions 


Staff Writer 

GAYLORD — Members of 

the Gaylord Community 

Schools (GCS) Board of Education 

agreed Monday they 

will soon post both a director 

of curriculum position and a 

director of special education 

position for the district in an 

on-going effort to restruc^re 

the administrative central 

office. The action, which 

comes with a $47,500 price tag 

if two people are hired, comes 

on the recommendation of the 

districts Personnel and Finance 

Committee. 

"There was a lot of discussion 

about this," committee 

member Scott Chesley told the 

full school board Monday 

night. "We feel that with Jackie 

(Burden) no longer with us 

that we should pursue a fulltime 

curriculum director to the 

district and a special education 

director. We can accomplish a 

lot of good things for the district 

and staff for a nominal 

amount of money." 

Burden, who was contracted 

through Professional Contracts 

Management, Inc. as the 

director of curriculum and special 

projects three years ago, 

was cut back last year to parttime 

with a sole focus on curriculum 

development and as 

district liaison to the Elmira 

Montessori School. Although 

her position was contracted out 

for the semester. Burden 

resigned from her post earlier 

this month. 

tions but first wanted to create 

job descriptions, which could 

include additional Human 

Resources duties, solidify pay 

schedules and share this information 

with the building 

administrators before officially 

posting either position. 

"At least from my standpoint, 

student achievement is 

at the basis for making the recommendation," 

said Chesley. 

After the board meeting. 

Hilling stated he would work 

on having everything together 

to post both positions by the 

end of October. With a 10-day 

posting period. Hilling said he 

feels like they could Rave candidates 

selected by mid- 

November or December with a 

projected start date of second 

semester. 

In other business, the board 

received a Technology Committee 

update from Mary 

Slezak. The district Web site is 

currently accessible at 

www.gaylordschools.com. 

Slezak also informed the 

board that the three-year technolc^ 

plan created in 2002 

expires June 2006. In order for 

the district to file for Universal 

Service Funds (USF), which 

amounts to about $50,000 a 

year, the district needs to have 

an updated technology plan 

approved by the Michigan 

Dept. of Education by Dec. 1. 

The district also contracted 

"We need to have it on the 

board agenda (in December)," 

said Slezak. "But it does not

Vanderbilt Council places binder 

on proposed sewer property 


Staff Writer 

VANDERBILT — Vanderbilt village 

council members voted unanimously Oct. 

3 to place a $1,500 binder on each of two 

parcels of land that could become home 

to the village's sewer disposal system. 

Council members met in closed session 

on the matter before returning to open 

session to vote. 

"Now it's jusl like buying a house." 

said village President Elizabeth Haus. 

The owners of the 40-acre parcels of land 

can either accept the offer or initiate a 

counter-proposal. 

At this point, Haus does not have any 

sense for how long the project might 

take. 

"But the grant won't move until the 

papers are signed" she said, referring to 

the USDA Rural Development (RD). 

which will provide a grant for a percentage 

of the project and a loan for the 

remainder. 

Jim Schiffer. the northern Michigan 

manager for the Traverse City-based 

engineering firm of Fleis and Vanden- 

Brink, said Tuesday the USDA recently 

has been going more with loans than they 

have historically, and at this point does 

not know how much of a grant Vanderbilt 

will be eligible for. 

"Users of the facility would then pay 

back the loan through utility rates," said 

Schiffer. whose firm has been a part of 

the Vanderbilt sewer project since 1999. 

Once the village is aligned with the 

RD grant, Haus hopes Vanderbilt will be 

approved for other programs to help 

finance the multi-million dollar project 

like a loan program with a lower interest. 

SchifTer also said another avenue Vanderbilt 

could consider is the creation of a 

spccial assessment district where the 

property owners would pay fees once a 

year toward the acquisition of land and 

the construction of the facility. 

Schiffer said Vanderbilt should not 

expect to break ground any earlier than 

two years from today. 

In August, Fleis and VandenBrink 

inspected the proposed parcels of land 

and gave approval for use as a sewer disposal 

system site. 

In 1999, the Bay Mills Indian Community 

Casino offered a $2.5-million 

donation for a water-sewer utility project. 

When the tribe received an offer downstate 

and decided to lake its casino to Port 

Huron, the village halted its utility project. 

The village cannot afford to go forward 

with both a sewer and water project 

at once and so would need to choose, 

Haus said at the August council meeting. 

"After listening to the Economic 

Alliance and the engineers, we determined 

that this village should have sewers 

first," said Haus. 

According to Haus, it is impossible for 

owners of smaller plots of land (ranging 

from 36-feet-by-120-feet to 42-feet-by- 

130-feet) to build a well, a septic tank 

and a drain field. Haus is forced to deny 

zoning permits to the families. 

With a sewer system in place, all of 

that could change. 

"The zoning ordinance says once the 

sewer is operating, you don't have to have 

12,000 square feet for a single-family 

home," said Haus. 

County appoints administrator search committee 

LIVINGSTON TWR— Chairman of 

the Otsego County Board of Commis- 

sioners Paul Beachnau made appointments 

Tuesday for a nine-member 

County Administrator Search Committee. 

Beachnau. who will sit on the 

committee, also appointed Commissioner 

Paul Liss to lead the search, 

and included commissioners Doug 

Johnson and Mike Hyde. Also included 

on the team is Otsego County 

Clerk Susan DeFeyter, Court Adminis- 

trator Rudi Edel, Park and Recreation 

Director Mike Tarbutton, Sportsplex 

Manager Bill Michaels, and County 

Finance Director Rachel Frisch. 

County Human Resource coordinator 

Trish Adam, who has assisted in 

previous employee searches, will 

assist the committee by checking 

incoming applications. 

During Tuesday's meeting, com- 

missioners also approved a job 

description for the vacant Otsego 

County Administrator's post. Former 

administrator Denise Koning's contract 

was not renewed by commissioners 

at their Sept. 27 meeting. 

Beachnau suggested amending 

the job description to include "serving 

as a team leader and resource to 

department heads, and assisting 

them with goals and budget con- 

cerns." Beachnau noted several 

department heads suggested this 

addition. 

Beachnau also appointed a personnel 

committee to mediate 

employee concerns until a new 

administrator can take over that role. 

Liss will chair the committee, with 

commissioners Johnson, Clark Bates 

and Lee Olsen sitting as appointed 

members.

Wednesday, October 12. 2005 • A-7 

City joins plan group after first rejecting idea 

Cont'd from p. A1 

resolution, Johnson and 

Mankowski argued that the 

group was simply unnecessary. 

Solokis said the original 

proposal had obstacles in the 

way it was presented, such as 

language relating to control of 

sewer and water line extensions. 

"That's our (city's) business 

and I couldn't see any 

other entity telling us what to 

do," said Solokis on Tuesday. 

"The committee is really more 

like a forum for discussion 

mutual concerns. It's just a 

matter of getting together so 

that we can be on the same 

track for the development of 

the county. And 1 think that's 

important." 

City clerk Rebecca Curtis 

said the revised proposal was a 

"watered down" version of the 

proposal that had been earlier 

defeated by council. 

"This committee will be 

able to accomplish some very 

positive things for both the 

city and townships — if only 

simply making sure the lines 

of communication are kept 

open," Curtis wrote in a memo 

to council members. "The 

individuals from each entity 

who have attended these meetings 

have been very cautious 

and realize that this board 

would have no authority 

regarding extension of water 

and sewer utilities nor any 

decision or recommendation 

of the group would be binding." 

Livingston Township and 

the Otsego County Board of 

Commissioners had already 

passed resolutions of support. 

Bagley, which last month 

tabled action on the resolution, 

adopted the revised proposal at 

its Monday night meeting (sec 

related story at right). 

Each unit of government 

will appoint three of its members 

to serve on the committee. 

which will be known as 

the Gaylord Area Cooperative 

Planning Committee. The 

committee is an outgrowth of 

the Otsego County/One Vision 

study and its final report that 

documented broad public 

interest in managing development 

and containing urban 

sprawl. 

By adopting the resolutions 

the units of government agreed 

that "joint discussions, study, 

review and recommendations 

are useful to assist each of the 

municipalities in their efforts 

to provide for economic development, 

the preservation of 

cultural and natural resources, 

safe and effective transportation, 

and the efficient delivery 

of public services, effective 

land use planning and community 

development." The resolution 

fiirther provides that the 

committee may make nonbinding 

recommendations "on 

questions and concerns 

brought to it by the member 

municipalities." 

Bagley board OKs plan group 

BAGLEY TWP. — At their

Township board members 

passed a resolution in support 

of the formation of an Inter-

The agreement calls for 

three representatives from

Sewer abandonment won't stop township recall; 

supervisor promises new plan for sewer system 

By Michael Jones 

Staff Writer 

BAGLEY TWP. — Now 

that the Bagley Township board 

has abandoned its $10-million 

sewer plan for the east side of 

Otsego Lake — the platform 

township supervisor Bill Giles 

used to defeat former supervisor 

Shirley Jenkins — Giles 

says the last thing he wants to 

see is the recall of three of his 

board members. Although the 

longer an tssttt, the rccall ele^ 

tion, set for Nov. 8, must proceed 

as scheduled according to 

Otsego County Clerk Suzy 

DeFeyter. 

Save Otsego Lake's Environment 

(SOLE) initiated the 

movement in May to recall 

township board members Mary 

Yager, Treasurer, Clerk James 

Szymanski and Trustee Richard 

Sumerix, for what had been 

their continuing supp>ort of the 

sewer plan despite SOLE's 

claims of dwindling support 

from residents living within the 

Special Assessment District 

(SAD).

Bill Giles, 

^ Bagley supervisor 

come up with a'new plan which 

would go all the way around 

Otsego Lake. 

"It's something 1 could 

never understand, why would 

we need to have two sewer 

treatment plants within three 

miles of each other," Giles said 

of the city of Gaylord's existing 

treatment plant. "We don't need 

another treatment plant. 1 think 

it is important to gel the whole 

county involved in getting a 

sewer around the lake. We need 

Bagley and Otsego Lake Township 

and the county to push the 

city to make a deal to provide 

sewer service around the lake." 

Giles said he intends to talk 

to Gaylord City Manager Joe 

Duff to discuss the feasibility 

of having Otsego Lake residents 

hook up to the city 

sewage treatment plant. "Let's 

get everyone involved," Giles 

said. "The lake is important to 

everyone in the county." 

At this point Giles said he 

did not know Gaylord's position 

on allowing additional 

hookups to the plant but shared 

his thoughts on a »iwW"fbr 

Otsego Lake if .sucli'ân idea 

were not possible. 

"We can't do it in stages. 

Everyone has to pay the same 

amount. We can't have people 

paying different assessments if 

we want people to buy into 

this," Giles said. "This is the 

only way it is going to get done. 

We need to look for federal 

grants to help pay for a collection 

system and treatment plant 

if that's the route we need to 

take." 

Giles said he intends to 

begin working on a new plan 

right away, with the first step to 

solicit the support of the township's 

board members.

Economic alliance hosting 

forum on ^cluster' sewers 

GAYLORD The Otsego 

County Economic Alliance, in 

partnership with the Otsego 

Conservation District, and 

Huron Pines RC&D. is hosting 

a Tuesday forum on the use of 

decentralized or "cluster." 

sewers. The forum will feature 

a pane! of state and ri:gional 

experts at 6p.m. at the University 

Center at Gaylord. 

Community leaders and 

residents will have the opportunity 

to explore the alternative 

use of cluster sewers as a costeffective 

sewer system to mitigate 

the impact of development 

on inland lakes and other 

situations where residential 

development and soil conditions 

present challenges to the 

environment and limitations on 

higher density development. 

The panel will include Dr. 

Ted Loudon, professor emeritus, 

PhD, PE.. Department of 

Biosystems and Agricultural 

Engineering at Michigan State 

University: Scott Kcndzierski. 

director of Environmental 

Health. Northwest Michigan 

Health Agcncy; and Bret 

Ciourdie. principal. Gourdie 

Eraser & Associates. Expected, 

but not yet confirmed, will be 

an expert from the Michigan 

Dept' of Environmental Quality 

and a representative from a 

community that has utilized 

cluster sewers. 

The panel will cover issues 

of when and where cluster 

sewers are appropriate: how 

they work: cost: oversight, 

maintenance and administration. 

The forum, said organizers, 

is designed to provide residents 

with information and 

ideas on an alternative to traditional 

big pipe municipal sewers 

and on site septic systems. 

For more information on 

the forum, call Jeff Ratcliffe,

Authorities probe alleged jail assault 


act in front of him while in 

the cell, 

The young man was jailed 

last week after he reportedly 

broke conditions of his bond 

on charges of breaking and 

entering with intent and home 

invasion — first degree. The 

young man was also apprehended 

in September in connection 

with the breaking and 

entering of several Lewiston 

businesses. He faces charges 

in Montmorency County. 

McBride said because the 

minor has several past 

involvements with the legal 

system. District Court Judge 

Patricia A. Morse waived the 

young man from juvenile to 

adult court last week where 

he will be tried as an adult. 

According to Otsego 

County prosecutor Kyle 

Legel it was not a violation to 

lodge the Lewiston boy in the 

same cell with adults, 

although if space was available, 

consideration should 

have been given to keep the 

youth segregated from the 

older jail population. 

Due to an ongoing overcrowding 

situation at the jail, 

which on Monday had 52 

prisoners, McBride said they 

had no choice but to lodge the 

14-year-old with older adult 

prisoners. 

Although the jail has a 

maximum capacity of 34 pris- 

oners, Corrections supervisor 

Brian Webber said the jail has 

been averaging more than 40 

prisoners a day this year. The 

facility averaged 39.5 prisoners 

a day in 2004 (see related 

story). 

After the assault allegations 

came to light Thursday, 

Legal said he personally visited 

the county jail and spoke 

to Sgt. Mike Anthony who 

was conducting the investigation 

into the incident. Legal 

said he expected to receive a 

copy of the report later this 

week or by the beginning of 

next week. He will then make 

a decision whether there is 

enough evidence to file 

charges against the three men. 

County jail averaging 40 inmates daily 


declaring an emergency. 

Despite the early release of 11 prisoners 

after declaring the state of emergency, Webber 

said it is obvious his jail still has a problem 

with keeping its numbers down. "It didn't 

really help. There is no quick fix. If we could 

wave a magic wand and have a new jail tomorrow, 

that would fix things," Webber said Monday. 

"Other than that, we're almost to the point 

where have to start considering inmates 

here for felonies for early release." 

A chronic problem of overcrowding at the 

jail the past several years has forced Webber 

to work closely with Community Corrections 

Coordinator Marie Frick to make recommendations 

for the early release of prisoners to

thoughts 

about 

city hall 


when the plans were completed, 

officials realized there 

was little space for future 

otTice expansion should the 

city need to hire additional 

employees. 

City Manager Joe Duff 

said he was so impressed 

wiih the new Crossroads 

Industries building, constructed 

for about'SK5 nnU* 

lion in the city's-new industrial 

park, he thought the city 

should explore the option of 

demolishing the old post 

office building and building 

new. 

The city's building committee 

recommended at Monday 

night's City Council 

meeting that the council 

award a $6,500 contract to 

DEM Architects to develop 

cost estimates for demolishing 

the old post office building 

and to develop preliminary 

plans for a new city hall 

structure with cost estimates. 

Council unanimously voted 

to award the contract. 

Duff said the cost for 

developing new preliminary 

plans for demolition and a 

new building is about half the 

cost spent for developing the 

preliminary plans for renovating 

the existing building 

because much of the work in 

determining the city's needs 

already has been done. 

"I'm not sure how much 

we would save, but I think we 

need to take a look at it. This 

will give us that opportunity 

to look at this from a fresh 

angle and let us plan for the 

future of the community," 

Duff said. 

The 21 city employees 

who would be moved to the 

new city hall now work from 

offices that occupy about 

3,580-square-foot in the 

County-City Building. 


count for school-aged students 

— students not enrolled in preschool 

— came in at 39, with 

four to five students coming 

from outside of the district. 

This year, the fourth 

Wednesday count at the 

Montessori school showed smdent 

enrollment has climbed to 

57. Nine of the 57 students are 

from outside the district. The 

Montessori school includes 34 

preschool students who pay 

$20 per day in tuition costs, 

bringing in an additional 

$37,000. Ten of the 34 preschool 

students are from outside 

of the district. 

Even with that, the superintendent 

is questioning whether 

the school has become "selfsufficient," 

as the board 

.'deemed it be within three 

years. 

"The program is very solid," 

said Jackie Burden, former 

GCS director of curriculum 

and district liaison to the 

Montessori school until she 

resigned Oct. 4. North Ohio 

Elementary School Principal 

Dennis O'Brien is currently the 

interim liaison until a director 

of curriculum has been hired. 

"1 see a regular pattern," 

said Burden. "The first-year 

expenses were highest and 

income lowest." 

Over the last two years. 

Burden saw expenses decrease 

while income has increased. 

Next year, the Elmira Montessori 

school projects an increase 

in enrollment to 74 schoolaged 

students — 15 coming 

from outside of the district — 

and 34 preschool students. 

"Altogether, the projected 

budget for next year is 

$171,084 to the good," she 

said, adding the student 

increase could happen without 

an additional staff member. 

The projection does not reflect 

possible increases in fuel costs. 

At the end of last year, the 

Elmira Montessori school 

owed the district $76,656. This 

year, with the addition of both 

school-aged students and preschool 

tuition, a $10,000 debt 

would remain. 

GCS Business and Finance 

Manager Carlee Allen said the 

$10,000 debt does not include 

additional expenses for confer-

District Judge Patricia A. Morse to alleviate 

the overcrowding. 

Webber said he and Frick work to find 

other alternatives to jail to reduce the jail population, 

including community service, day 

reporting, tethers and reduction of bond for 

misdemeanor prisoners. 

According to Webber there were only two 

months in 2004 — August and October — 

when the daily jail population did not exceed 

its capacity of 34 prisoners. The average for 

those two months was right at 34. The next 

closest months, January and September, averaged 

37 prisoners a day. March of last year 

averaged a high of 49 prisoners for 2004. 

"The only thing I can see helping is a new 

jail." Webber said.

The Elmira Montessori

'04 as a magnet school to

to the district. GCS funded 

both start-up and training costs

the Elmira Montessori 

would pay the district back

"The Montessori school is 

in its third year," said Supt. 

Carl Hilling to board members 

Monday night. "If I recall right, 

the board said in three years it 

has to be self-sufficient... it's a

Regarding the

together with 

other northern 

Michigan counties 

to use the Michigan

Facility in 

Baldwin as a 

regional jail. 

Funding for the 

facility operated 

by GEO Inc. was 

recently cut from 

the state budget by 

Granholm. 

"Maybe we 

could use that 

rather than spending 

$16 million of

Bentz suggested.

GAME OF THE WEEK 

Wisconsin at Minnesota 

*2005 Longwinj PubUcatioiu tnc 

Illustration by Bruce PUnte ^ 2005 

More than ax at stake 

T 

Jhe Big Ten has always been known as a tough conference. 

Teams that could run the ball won. And teams that couldn't 

run had rough seasons. 

With the recent influx of spread offenses, the tide has begun to 

turn, but the heart of the conference still depends on gritty play. 

And when Wisconsin and Minnesota meet on Saturday in the 

Battle for Paul Bunyan's Ax, it will be an old-school, power 

running game. 

Minnesota's Laurence Maroney and Wisconsin's Brian 

Calhoun sit atop the conference in rushing yards, and they have 

lîr teams pff to S-J^ stai£|^The winner of Saturday's game will 

sUy in tfie confereiKe title picture, while the loser will have to 

regroup and look in another direction with two conference losses. 

The home team has won nine of the last 13 in this series. 

Last weekend showed the importance of home-field advantage 

in conference play. Penn Slate beat Ohio State at home and moved 

into the top 10 of the rankings with a 17-10 victory that kept them 

undefeated. Northwestern came back to beat Wisconsin 51-48 at 

home behind the running of freshman Tyrell Sutton and strong 

arm of senior Brett Basanez. 

Unfortunately, the home-field advantage didn't work for 

Michigan, and Minnesota pushed the Wolverines out of the 

conference picture with a 23-20 victory at Ann Arbor. 

This weekend might help to clarify the conference race, or it 

could just add to the confusion, especially if a desperate Michigan 

team can upset Penn Stale in Ann Arbor or Purdue can upset 

Northwestern in West Lafayette. 

Michigan State has plenty to prove when it travels to 

Columbus, where the Spartans haven't won since upsetting the 

top-ranked Buckeyes in 1998. 

And, Indiana hopes to continue its surprise season, while Iowa 

will try to repeat its annual mid- to late-season rise in the 

standings. 

• Records: Wisconsin 5-1 (2-1 Big Ten); Minnesota 5-1 (2-1 Big 

Ten). • Series: Minnesota leads 59-47-8. • Coaches: 

Wisconsin's Barry Alvarez (112-71 -4); Minnesota's Glen Mason 

(115-110-1). BlCickoff: II a.m.CTSaturday.• TV:ESPN. 

Keys for Wisconsin: Keep Minnesota RB Gary Russell out of 

the end zone. While RB Laurence Maroney gets all the attention, 

Russell has scored nine touchdowns this year.... Improved 

defense. The Badgers gave up 51 points in last week's loss to 

Northwestern. 

Keys for Minnesota: Get Maroney going early. If the Gophers 

can move the ball on the ground early and stay in the game, they 

can stick with what they do best. In their or>e loss, Maroney ran for 

48 yards on 16 carries Avoid the turnover. Mistakes can keep 

Wisconsin in the game.

17-10 loss to Penn State Get the runners involved. The 

Spartans pass first, but their running game, with Javon Ringer and 

Jehuu Caulcrick, remains important. 

Keys for Ohio State: Keep a spy on MSU QB Drew Stanton, 

The Buckeyes' linebacking corps can take Stanton's running 

ability out of the game.... Get Ted Ginn and Santonio Holmes 

invcJved early. Penn State stuffed the pair, limiting them to a total 

of seven catches for 81 yards. 

Penn State at Michigan - 

• Records: Penn State 6-0 (3-0 Big Ten); Michiî^3-3

Patemo (349-116-3); Michigan's Lloyd Carr (98-32). • Kickoff: 

3:30 p.m. ET Saturday. • TV; ABC. 

Keys for Penn State: Contain RB Michael Hart. If Hart is on. 

as he was when the Wolverines upset MSU two weeks ago, 

Michigan is hard to beat.. .. Win the turnover baule. Michigan 

and Penn State have the most fumbles recovered in the 

conference, with seven and six, respectively. 

Keys for Michigan: Contain freshman WR Derrick Williams. 

Williams can score on the run and by catching passes as one of 

QB Michael Robinson's favorite targets QB Chad Henne 

can't take too many chances. Penn State has already intercepted 

six passes this season. 

Indiana at Iowa 

• Records: Indiana 4-1 (1-1 Big Ten); Iowa 4-2 (2-1 Big Ten). 

• Series: Iowa leads 37-25-4. • Coaches: Indiana's Terry 

Hoeppner (52-25); Iowa's Kirk Ferentz (46-33). • Kickoff: 11:10 

a.m.CT Saturday, • TV: ESPN Plus, 

Keys for Stay positive. New coach Terry Hoeppner 

has installed confidcnce along with a spread offense since coming 

to Indiana from Miami (Ohio).... Limit turnovers. The Hoosiers 

had two fumbles and two interceptions in their only loss of the 

year, 41 -24 to Wisconsin. 

Keys for Iowa: Continue to play with a sense of urgency. The 

Hawkeyes need to put together a huge run if they hope to re-enter 

the title picture.. .. Keep a keen eye on Hoosiers redshirt 

freshman WR James Hardy, who also plays on the basketball 

team. Hardy has 34 catches for 541 yards and seven touchdowns 

this year. 

Northwestern at Purdue 

• Records: Northwestern 3-2 (1-1 Big Ten); Purdue 2-3 (0-2 Big 

Ten). • Seri»: Purdue leads 47-24-1. • Coachei: Notthwestem's 

Randy Walker (92-78-5); Purdue's Joe Tiller (103-70-1). 

• Kickoff: Noon CT Saturday. • TV; ESPN2. 

Keyl for Horthwirttm: Play some defense. Despite the upset 

victory, the Wildcats allowed Wisconsin to score 48 points last 

week and are allowing 37 points per game Avoid the 

interception. QB Brett Basanez throws a ton. but has thrown the 

ball to an opponent seven times ttiis season. 

Keys for Purdue: Find a way. to contain Northwestern 

freshman RB Tyrell Sutton, who leads the conference with 154.4 

yards per game on the ground Punt coverage. The Wildcats 

get good field position with an average of 23.3 yards per punt 

return.

lived and 

vvith the fortunes 

of junior Tim Brasic this season. And 

more often than not, that has been a bad 

thing. Brasic threw for 230 yards and a 

touchdown on 23-for-39 passing while 

running for 34 yards in the IHini's 36-13 

loss to Indiana last Saturday. But he also 

threw an interception that led to an 

Indiana touchdown and fumbled the ball, 

which led to another score. 

•MSIANA Hoeppner needed a 

trusty quarterback to run his spread 

offense, and sophomore Blake Powers 

has stepped up. In only tive games, 

Powers has passed for 18 touchdowns, 

breaking Antwaan Randel El's Indiana 

season record. Powers threw for 198 yards 

and foul touchdowns in the 36-13 victory 

over Illinois. Freshman James Hardy, who 

caught 10 passes for 118 yards and two 

touchdowns, now holds the school record 

for touchdowns as a freshman with seven. 

« Hawkeyes junior QB Drew 

Tate has struggled to start 

the season 2-2, but whafs new? He 

started last season 2-2 and became the Big 

Ten's Player of the Year after seven 

consecutive victories. On Saturday, in a 

34-17 victory over Purdue, Tate threw for 

a career-high 357 y«irds and three 

touchdown passes. He found Clinton 

Solomon five times for 166 yards and two 

scores.

And the Wolverines have taken it home

the nation's oldest rivalry trophy with a 

23-20 homecoming loss, leaving the 

Wolverines with a 3-3 record for the first 

time since 1990 and giving them two 

home losses for the first time since 1994. 

rto A f CTP With the week 

^tbnlU/iPl Dl. offtoprepare 

for Ohio State's vaunted defense, the 

Spartans could take solace in one 

advantage: their large corps of receivers. 

Fourteen Spartans have caught passes this 

season, and five have more than 10 

catches each. They are led by Kyle Brown, 

who has caught 21 passes for 315 yards. 

While the running 

backs get all the 

aedit. kicker Jason Giannini is becoming 

a star in his own right. He hit a 30-yard 

field goal with one second left as the 

Gophers beat Michigan 23-20 last 

^turday. Giannini was 3-for-3, including 

a 26- and 29-yarder earlier in the game. 

The freshman has made 10 of 12 field 

goals, but just 19 of 24 extra points. 

t h w e s t e r n k n i s 

just getting started, but the running back 

has already broken a school record with 

772 yards on the ground as a freshman. 

He ran for 244 yards and three 

touchdowns, including the game-winning 

62-yard run, in a 51-48 upset of Wisconsin 

last Saturday. 

CTATP Buckeyes 

3 i/\l Ci couldn't get the 

passing or ruruiing game going in 

Saturday's 17-10 loss to Penn State. Troy 

Smith gained most of the yardage, with 

139 yards passing and 15 yards rushing. 

CTATP Pfinn State s 

3 lAl D defense is good, 

but in Saturday's 17-10 victory over Top 

10 opponent Ohio State, it was great. 

Penn State's defenders sacked Buckeyes' 

QB Troy Smith five times. Tamba Hall 

had three tackles for a loss and 1.5 sacks, 

and forced a fumble. 

1^ Boilermakers QB 

Ut Brandon Kirsch made 

strides in Saturday's 34-17 loss to Iowa, 

but he also took a few steps back. While 

he threw for a career-high 353 yards, he 

might have cost his team the game with a 

misguided throw. Early in the fourth 

quarter with his team trailing by six 

points, Kirsch forced a pass into the end 

zone that was intercepted by Iowa's 

Edmond Miles. The Hawkeyes then drove 

to another score and put the game away.N 

John Stocco made 

PMbCONblN strides, but the 

Badgers lost to Northwestern 51-48 last 

Saturday. Stocco was 24-for-31 for a 

career-high 326 yards and a career-high 

four touchdowns, but he threw an 

interception on the final drive and the 

Wildcats were able to run out the clock.

take the snap from Curtis Vaden. Fullback Nick Forrest (40) readies for a crushing block. 

Mighty Nouvel ahead 


Sports Editor 

GAYLORD — Losses don't get any 

more demoralizing. 

Saginaw Nouvel beat up on Gaylord 

39-6 last season, knocking the Blue Devils 

out of contention for a playoff spot. 

Needless to say, revenge will be on the 

mind of Gaylord when it hosts the highlyranked 

Panthers. 

'it's time to pay some boys back " said 

coach William Cleaver. "They look a hit 

to our pride and knocked us right out of 

the playoffs. We'll be fired up this week." 

Making the playoffs will not be an 

issue for the Blue Devils this time 

around, as they clinched a spot in the 

postseason with Friday's 28-0 victory at 

Alpena. They arc 5-1 on the season and 

are ranked No. 9 in Division 3 by the 

Detroit Free Press. 

Nouvel carries an even more impressive 

resume. The Panthers are a perfect 6- 

0 on the year and are ranked No. 3 in 

Division 5 by the Free Press. 

They've beaten a pair of ranked 

schools in Traverse City St. Francis and 

Monroe Catholic Central and have a pair 

of the best players in Class C. 

"They're the best team we'll have 

"Affinnative 

No. r 

played all season," Cleavei;iâid. 'They 

do a lot of things out there aîd they do a 

lot of things well." 

Running back Nick Biftnbaum has 

been the team's offensive leader this season 

while the Panthers have recovered 

from losing starting quartâck Gabe 

Reyes for the season the first game of the 

year. 

Nouvel will show the Blue Devils a lot 

of looks, using anything from the option 

to the shotgun. ' 

"There is a lot to prepaf&for," Cleaver 

said. 

The Panthers also boast one of the 

best linebackers around in Nick Hurd. 

Hurd is in the midst of an impressive 

season and is a sure bet for all-state honors. 

"He is a downhill player." Cleaver 

said. "He's one of the best in the state." 

Fridays game isn't as big as next 

week's for the Blue Devils, when they 

host Cadillac for a share of the Big North 

Conference championship. 

Still, the Nouvel game is plenty big 

and a win would command some major 

respect for the Gaylord program. 

Not to mention some much-needed 

revenge.

J-L's homecoming features old-time foe 

By Jeremy 9 p ^ 1 

Sports Editor ^ ' 

JOHANNESBUkG — 

When Fred Davis began his 

legendary stint of coaching the 

Johannesburg-Lewi ston football 

team in the 1980s, the 

Atlanta game was the measuring 

stick. 

"This was the big game 

every year," Davis said. 

"Either Atlanta was 9-0 or we 

beat them. It meant everything 

for our season." 

Things have changed 

slightly in the new millenium. 

The Huskies' program has 

fallen on hard times while J-L 

continues to chug along as one 

of northern Michigan's most 

consistent programs. 

Cal 

Sundberg 

Still, just 18 miles seperate 

these deep-rooted rivals. Also, 

many of the parents of the 

Lewiston pliayers attended 

Atlanta High, because Atlanta 

and Lewiston used to be consolidated. 

"Whenever you have these 

schools so dam close you have 

kids who know each other," 

said Atlanta coach Mike Walker. 

a rivalry game." 

Both teams came into last 

season's game in similar situations 

they are now. Atlanta 

came into the game struggling, 

but made the Cardinals work 

for a 52-32 shootout victory. 

"It was a different game 

than we thought it would be," 

Davis said. 

J-L (5-2) would clinch a 

playoff spot with a victory Friday. 

The Huskies (2-5) are coming 

into the game hot, having 

won consecutive games 

against Arenac Eastern and 

Hillman. 

They have 11 freshmen on 

their 26-man roster, including 

a handful of starters, but Walker 

said it is a quality group. 

"They are physical 

specemins," Walker said. 

"They're strong and quick for 

their age. I wouldn't have 

played them if they weren't." 

Freshman quarterback 

Kevin Haren has done a good 

job, as his favorite target is 

junior William Eng^hart. 

Stiil, the Huskies remain a 

ground-based team, led by the 

running of junior fullback 

Mike Saban. 

"They like to run the ball 

right at you," Davis said. 

A healthy dose of running 

is a given with J-L's offense. 

Senior fullback Zack Vogt has 

had more than 150 yards the 

past two weeks, while junior 

Cal Sundberg has scored seven 

rushing touchdowns. 

"They are definitely difTicult 

to stop," Walker said. 

J-L's defense has come on 

strong of late, slowing down 

Onaway and shutting out Forest 

Area.The Cardinals surrender 

just under 14 points per 

game. 

While he is wary of 

Atlanta's talent, Davis is also 

concerned about the focus of 

his team on Homecoming 

week. 

"It always scares me," he 

said. "With all the activities 

going on, sometimes the kids 

aren't focused on all they 

should be."

St. Mary drew first blood 

midway through the first

reception. DeLong added the 

extra point to make it 7-0. 

After thwarting two Pellston

St. Mary controls its own destiny 


Sports Editor 

BELLAIRE — It's the situation 

every team longs to be in. 

Win your next two games and 

you're guaranteed to be conference 

champions. 

That's the case for the St. Mary 

football team, who controls its own 

destiny in winning its seventh consecutive 

Ski Valley Conference 

title. 

However, Snowbirds coach Rod 

Bragg warns the road will not be 

easy. 

"Both of these games are going 

to be very difficult," Bragg said. 

"WeYe going to have to play well." 

Bellaire this week and Johannesburg-Lewisloa 

next week are what 

await the Snowbiids, wbo improved 

to S-1 last week with a 21-6 victory 

against Pellston 

St. Mary is tied atop the conference 

standings with Onaway, who 

has dropped its past two games and 

may be without star running back 

Lonnie Splan. 

The Snowbirds will face a Bellaire 

team Friday that has had a 

tough season on and off the field. 

Junior J.D. Mann was killed in 

an automobile accident last Thursday, 

setting up an emotional game 

with Central Lake Saturday. 

The Trojans bested the Eagles 

47-26, bumping Bellairerecord to 

3-4 on the season. 

The Eagles are coming off their 

best year in school history in 2004, 

where they tied St. Mary for the Ski 

ViUey crown. They, however, lost a 

multitude of seniors and have had 

to rebuild this season. 

Quarlerhack Skyler Hindes has 

been in and out of the lineup 

throughout the season and his status 

is again in question Friday. When 

available. Hindes is a steady, dualthreat 

player 

One constant for the Eagles has 

been runnisg back John Pawson. 

"He's a tough running back," 

Bragg said. 

Just like the Pellston game. 

Bragg and the Snowbirds are 

expecting another battle. 

"They are a physical team," 

Bragg said. "They really fire off the 

ball." 

If St. Mary can get the upper 

hand Friday, it will take one step 

closer to fulfllling what has become 

the norm for the Snowbirds — winning 

the Ski Valley Conference 

championship.

Meet Tommee Render: 

Building a life in Lewiston 

By Jil Schutt 

fter vacationing here 

with his parents on AWest 

Twin Lake, Tommee 

Render moved to Lewiston 

after high school in 1964. 

He worked for a local builder 

that summer and attended 

Alpena Community College in 

the fall. 

The following year Tommee 

decided to go into law 

enforcement. He spent two 

years at Oakland University 

then came back to Lewiston. 

He opted out of low-paying 

law enforcement and returned 

to construction work. 

About the sane time, Tommee's 

brother Curt who 

worked at General Motors settled 

in Lewiston, too. They 

held a family meeting with 

their parents, Ed and Penny, 

and decided to look for a business 

to buy. Tommee went 

searching: He found a bakery, 

a snowmobile shop and the 

Redwood Steak House restaurant 

for sale. 

With financial help from 

their parents, the brothers 

made an offer to Bill and Elda 

Butzke (former owners) and 

bought the Redwood Steak 

House in 1967. 

But Tommee didn't stop 

building. In the slow winters 

of Lewiston, Tommee built 

homes in Gaylord for Gaylord 

Mortgage and Realty and Curt 

cooked at Hidden Valley. They 

cut pulpwood one winter, too.

GAYLORD — 

he Gaylord Elks Lodge conducted its fifth annual 

Pumpkin Patch Saturday and managed to get pximpkins 

to 600 eager children. 

Ken Kwapis, organizer of youth activities and the pumpkin 

patch, was very pleased with the outcome. 

"It was a fabulous turnout," Kwapis said. "And, after five 

years, it was the best ever." 

Six hundred children signed the guest book at the patch, 

and enjoyed face painting, marshmallow roasting, and jumping 

in an inflatable Spiderman bouncer that was on site, 

along with many other activities. Six hundred bags of candy 

were passed out, and 900 people enjoyed hayrides through 

the patch. 

There was also a coloring contest for children ages 2-5, 6- 

8, and 9-12 years old, judged by Mary Hamilton. First-place 

winners for each age group will receive a new bike, while 

runners-up will win a scarecrow for their yard. 

Kwapis is already excited about next year's patch. 

"We're looking forward to doing it next year and having it 

bigger than ever," he said.

EMTs shock man back to life Itkoln 

By Mary Jergenson 

Staff Writer 

LIVINGSTON TWR— 

"He^ here, and 1 love him " a 

tearful Jolene Rau exclaimed 

regarding her husband's brush 

\^th death July 1. 

Doug Rau, 66, has always 

thought a ride in an ambulance 

would be exciting. That day he 

had two rides and can't 

remember either of them. 

The Raus, married 41 years 

this month, have settled into a 

pleasant, quiet life, having 

raised their four boys to adulthood. 

Doug is retired, while 

Jolene works for Dr. Koby- 

Olson. On the first day of July, 

Jolene worked until noon and 

headed home to have lunch 

with Doug. 

As Jolene worked in the 

kitchen, Doug passed through 

saying "Good morning," and 

headed to the bathroom. Seconds 

later. Jolene heard a thud 

and raced into the bathroom to 

find Doug collapsed on the 

floor. 

"It was just that quick," 

Jolene stated, snapping her 

fingers. "I was on the phone in 

seconds, and the ambulance 

arrived in two minutes. 

"Four guys came in and all 

of them started working on 

Doug," Jolene recalled in 

vivid detail, as if it were happening 

all over again. "By the 

time they got here, Doug had 

stopped breathing. They paddled 

him (defibrillated) and 

brought him back, then drove 

him to the hospital." 

"When we have a cardiac 

emergency, we typically send 

two trucks." confirmed Otsego 

County Emergency Medical 

Services (EMS) Chief Jon 

Deming. That day, Greg Hane, 

Keith Rovenko, Jason 

Mutschler and Mike Martin 

were the Raus' guardian 

angels as they revived Doug 

and got his heart beating after 

what they determined was a 

"sudden cardiac death." 

^THEY TOLD me they d 

be driving to the hospital with 

sirens and lights going, and 

not to let that upset me. He 

said 1 should take my time getting 

there," remarked Jolene, 

marveling at the compassion 

the EMT workers showed her. 

"One of them said 'Sorry we 

messed up the floor a little.'" 

Jolene continued, "I didn't 

care about the floor. They had 

just saved my husband." 

Arriving at Otsego Memorial 

Hospital shortly after the 

ambulance, Jolene was 

astounded how well the Emergency 

Room Staff functioned 

as a team. "It is amazing. 

Everyone knew just what to 

do, and could do it in a stressful 

situation. Without the 

equipment, knowledge, training 

and skill. Doug would be 

gone." 

Once stabilized, an ambulance 

transported Rau to 

Northern Michigan Hospital 

in Petoskey where he 

remained for 11 days and 

received a pacer (pacemaker) 

and defibrillator to prevent a 

second episode. "His heart 

actually stopped," explained 

Jolene, who was ecstatic to 

learn her husband's heart suffered 

no permanent damage. 

Hane believes the addition 

of Zoll defibrillators was the 

key to Rau's recovery. "We 

had the new equipment about 

a month when we got this 

call." The Zoll defibrillators.

St. John's word helped him overcome depression 

W 

hen a minister friend 

came to see me it 

was to share some 

bad news: he had been diagnosed 

as having Lou Gehrig's 

disease. Understandably, he 

was having a tough time handling 

this frightening news and 

was struggling with depression. 

The pat answers he had given 

to oiere who were dealing 

with catastrophic predictions 

weren't working for him; he 

was in the pits. Sharing his 

fears and fhistrations with me, 

he admitted he'd been considering 

suicide. 

Hearing the despair in my 

friend's voice was not a new 

experience for me. My work 

has dflen placed me with people 

in the most trying times of 

their lives. Nor was this the 

first time I had listened to

reached for words to enable 

this man who had helped so 

many others to find hope and 

encouragement whatever the 

outcome, but found none. 

Actually, I felt somewhat 

intimidated, especially since my 

fnend admitted 1 was not the 

first from whom he had sought 

counsel. I was, in fact, far 

down the totem pole. He had 

already gone to several well 

known ministers and conference 

speakers and, not finding 

any help from them, had come 

to me as a last resort. 

Now I was faced with two 

difficult questions: "What can I 

tell this good man that he doesn't 

already know?" and "What 

can I say that these highly 

regarded people haven't already 

said?" 

Then, almost surprising 

myself, I pulled out a drawer on 

the lower right side of my desk 

and took out a Gospel of St. 

John that we kept on hand for" 

children and new converts. 

Handing this to the learned and. 

experienced preacher sitting 

across the desk from me, I told 

him I thought he had been trying 

to get loo deep and needed 

to get back to the basics of 

God's love. 

There is no better place to 

bask in the sunlight of God's 

love than in the writings of St. 

John. Children quickly grasp 

the meaning of John 3:16, the 

favorite verse of millions. 

St. John majors on love. 

And a refreshing review of 

God's love proved to be just 

what my friend needed. 

If you're feeling down today 

and wonder if life is worth living, 

you many want to bypass 

the experts and see what St. 

John's word can do for you.

GAYLORD — On Sept. 25, 

the congregation at Grace Baptist 

Church honored representatives 

of area law enforcement 

agencies and departments as 

well as government officials on 

the local, state and federal level. 

Designated as "A Time To 

Pray" service, the gathering 

ascribed to the Bible's command 

to pray for public officials 

in 11 Timothy 2:1-2. 

State Sen. Tony Stamas, R- 

Midland, welcomed those present, 

and Pastor Jon Jenkins read 

a special tribute authored by 

State Rep. Kevin Elsenheimer 

prepared for the occasion. A 

copy of the tribute, along with 

an engraved cup, was provided 

to each guest. 

Jenkins shared his own 

words of homage for the civil 

servants, whom he said daily 

make heroic sacrifices from 

which we all benefit. The congregation 

of more than 1,000 

gave a standing ovation of 

thankfulness for the devoted 

civil servants. 

"Their sacrificial service 

and devotion to duty is both an 

encouragement and example to 

all who were present in the 

service," noted those gathered. 

Among those attending 

were Michigan State police Lt. 

Blake Davis, Sgt. Jeff Gomo, 

Sgt. Dennis Reynolds, Trooper 

James Keller, Trooper Ron 

Rabineau, Sgt. Ed Smith, 

Otsego County Sheriff James 

McBride, Judge Michael Cooper

Vanderbilt church launches 

Operation Christmas Child 

(the Shoebox Project) 

VANDERBILT — On 

Sunday, Vanderbilt Community 

Church launched its effort 

for Operation Christmas 

Child (sometimes called the 

Shoebox Project). Operation 

Christmas Child is an international 

endeavor sponsored by 

Samaritan's Purse whose president 

is Franklin Graham of 

Boone. N.C. 

Last Christmas season, 

more than 7.4 million shoebox 

gif\s were provided to 

children in scores of countries 

around the world including 

Beslan, Russia, the site of the 

terrorist attack on an elementary 

school there, and south 

Asia, where the catastrophic 

tsunami struck Dec. 26, 2004. 

Individuals or families volunteer 

to fill a shoebox of any 

size with pens, pencils, markers. 

little stuffed animals, personal 

care items, hand-size 

toys, coloring books, yo-yos, 

jump ropes, etc. No liquids or 

perishable items may be 

included. 

Everyone is invited to be a 

part of effort, which organizers 

say is "very wonderful 

and fulfilling." 

Pastor Fred Nose 

announced a goal of 40 shoeboxes 

this year 

The deadline is Nov. 15.

J-L Schools earn award 

for safe work record 

JOHANNESBURG — 

Johannesburg-Lewiston (J-L) 

Area Schools has been recog- 

nized for having one of the 

safest work records in the 

state. 

EKiring its 26-year mem- 

bership in the SEG Self-Insur- 

er Workers' Compensation 

Fund, the district has main- 

tained a claim history that is 

well below average. In recog- 

nition of this outstanding safe- 

ty record, the district was hon- 

ored with a 2005 SEG Self- 

Insurer Workers' Compensa- 

tion Fund Safe School Award. 

The SEG Self-Insurer 

Workers* Compensation Fund 

is a nonprofit, self-insured 

fund that provides workers' 

compensation insurance to 

471 member school districts 

throughout Michigan. A Work- 

ers' Compensation Safe 

School Award is presented to a 

local and intermediate or 

regional school district on a 

semi-annual basis. The Award 

is given to deserving districts 

that support and promote 

exemplary safety measures 

within their schools. 

School district relies upon 

quahfied individuals, exten- 

sive training, and the trust and 

integrity of its employees in 

order to maintain a safe school 

district, said Supt. Jim Hilgen- 

dorf. The district's administra- 

tion encourages safety prac- 

tices, and that annual 

armouncements are made to 

staff members regarding safe 

work practices. Hilgendorf 

said the idea may be simple, 

but it is important to inform 

employees about standard 

safety methods, such as wear- 

ing protective goggles. By 

educating employees regularly 

about safety procedures, they 

are more likely to take precau- 

tions when working, he added. 

ACCORDING TO 

Hilgendorf, employee injuries 

do not occur often. Bus drivers 

receive regular training, and 

the district has in-service pro- 

grams on how to safely use 

products. Custodians and 

maintenance employees also 

respect the products and 

equipment they work with. 

Hilgendorf commented the 

district ensures its custodial 

and maifitehaHM staff use the 

^ , equipment 

required for their work, and 

outsources jobs to profession-

Furthermore, bus drivers 

undergo random drug testing, 

and the district uses a Motor 

Vehicle Records Reporting 

system to assess the safety of 

drivers. Experts with the 

Retired Engineers Technical 

Assistance Program advise on 

chemical disposal. 

When an accident does 

occur, district emplctyees know 

required procedures. Effective 

communication within the dis- 

trict promotes that, noted the 

superintendent. The small dis- 

trict is like a family, he added. 

An attempt' is made to 

cross-train employees when- 

ever possible to enhance 

knowledge of practices. 

Despite the current fiscal 

climate, Hilgendorf stressed 

the importance of providing 

proper training, such as CPR, 

and of creating a positive, 

open and honest atmosphere 

where employees have pride in 

their work. He expressed 

appreciation for assistance 

from SET SEG Loss Control 

Specialist Gus Kihlstrand, who 

informs the district of poten- 

tial safety concerns, and of 

effective safety measures the 

district has in place.

Coming clean about vacuums and the 5-second rule 

T 

here's good news and bad 

news for those who follow the 

five-second rule. You know, 

the practice of eating food that's fallen 

and been on the floor for five seconds 

or less. 

The bad news first. Studies show a 

carpet can hide as much as 10 times 

its own weight in dirt and that the 

average family tracks roughly three 

pounds of dirt into their homes each 

week. 

According to Erin Sanchez, marketing 

director of communications 

for Electrolux Home Care Products 

(EHCP) North America, this means 

eating food from the floor doesn't 

seem much cleaner than eating it 

from a public sidewalk. 

The good news, says Sanchez, is 

that there are ways homeowners can 

clean up their act when it comes to 

their floors. She offers these tips for 

achieving floors that are "clean 

enough to eat off or in two of the 

most highly trafficked areas in the 

home-the kitchen and the living 

room. 

• For the kitchen, use a hard-surface 

vacuum at least once a week. 

Some vacuums, such as Electrolux's 

Pronto 2-in-l cordless that doubles as 

a stick and detachable hand vacuum, 

are designed for cleanups on floore, 

on countertops, under cabinets and 

tables, in pantries and more. 

• "Mops and brooms tend to scatter 

dirt around the floor without really 

picking it up," explains Sanchez. 

"Instead, vacuum fust to get the dirt 

and then use a cleaning solution to 

eliminate germs."

Qsylord Herald Tlmee 

In today's economy, 

energy efficiency 

high in demand 

among homeowners 

If you're looking 

for energy-sav- 

ing features in 

your new home, 

you're in good 

company. 

Recent homebuyer surveys 

have found that energy 

efficiency is the top upgrade 

homebuyers choose when 

purchasing new homes. 

Builders following the 

Department of Energy's 

Building America guidelines 

build homes that are more 

durable, energy efficient, 

more comfortable and have 

better indoor air quality than 

the average new American 

home. 

The rising demand has 

made it easier to find energyefficient 

homes since 

builders find it is easier to 

sell these homes. More and 

more, homeowners-to-be are 

realizing the potential savings 

in energy-efficient homes. 

Since the energy efficiency 

features found in these 

homes vary by region, the 

Etepartment of Energy has 

created a series of Energy 

Efficiency Guides, titled 

"Building America's Best 

Practices Series," showing 

contractors how to build energy-saving 

homes in different 

climates aroimd the United 

States. 

The Building America 

approach has so far been used 

ij) the design of more than 

45,000 houses in 34 across 

the country. 

The Best Practices also 

include information and 

checklist that a homeowner 

can use when shopping for an 

energy efficient home. 

Recently released Volume 

2 of the Best Practices covers 

the hot, dry climate area of 

the Southwest. 

Features that work in the 

Southwest include windows 

that help keep the area near 

the window cooler and block 

the ultraviolet light from the 

sun, v^îch causes fading of 

drapes and furniture. 

Other features include 

compact and tightly sealed 

ducts which make the heating 

and cooling system operate 

more efficiently and highefficiency 

heating, ventilation 

and air conditioning 

equipment. 

One way to know you have 

found an energy-efficient 

home is to look for the Energy 

Star® label. 

Energy Star homes are 

built to strict energy-efficiency 

guidelines using proven 

technologies and construction 

practices. 

Depending on how 

builder structures his costs, 

the home's size and design 

and the prevailing cost of 

building materials, the additional 

cost of an energy-efficient 

home may range from 

zero to $1,500 or more. 

The investment in energy 

efficient measures may raise 

the purchase price, but 

throu^ lower monthly utility 

bills, those costs can be 

recovered over time. 

Lenders have developed 

energy •efficient mortgages to 

encourage consumers to purchase 

these types of homes. 

These mortgages can make it 

easier to buy more home for 

your money. 

Homes use more than 20 

percent of the energy consumed 

aamially in the US. 

The Building America program 

Aims for a future when 

homes will become zero- 

energy homes and produce as 

much energy as they use. 

In a nutshell, building 

energy efficiency into your 

home can make it less costly 

over the long run and more 

comfortable.

When unexpected guests arrive, 

it's time for cleaning sliortcuts 

C 

ompany may soon be 

about to descend on 

' your home — whether 

you want it or not. 

A recent survey found that 

56 percent of people said they 

want to spend their vacations 

with families, whether they 

live nearby or far away. That 

could mean your future holds 

an unexpected visit from a 

friend or relative. While most 

people are happy to see visiting 

family members, entertaining 

can also be a cause of 

stress, especially if you're not 

expecting guests and your 

house could use a cleaning. 

Fortunately, there are ways to 

make quick cleanups easier, 

even if guests have already 

arrived. 

For instance, you don't 

have to lug out the vacuum to 

give the floors a quick once 

over. Something as simple as 

spraying a broom or dust mop 

with furniture polish and then 

sweeping up can be just as 

effective. You can also try 

using Scotch-Brite Super- 

Cling Floor Cloths starter kit. 

It comes with a set of dry 

wi|>es, a set of wet wipes and 

a lightweight sweeper. The 

cloths can pick up dirt from 

the floor or be used to quickly 

dust shelves, tables, picture 

frames and molding. 

If you notice your children 

have left crayon marks on the 

walls or guests leave scuff 

marks with their shoes, you 

can try scrubbing with toothpaste 

or an ammonia-soaked 

cloth. Or. for a more simple 

tool, try the Scotch-Brite 

Easy Erasing Pad from 3M. 

The pad helps remove marks 

(including crayon) quickly 

and easily. 

Finally, if unexpected 

guests arrive, you may want 

to give your bathroom a quick 

cleaning. It's a good idea to 

keep an all-purpose cleaner 

and a sponge in the bathroom

for just such occasions. If you 

have time before guests get to 

your house, try cleaning toilet 

bowl rings and stains by pouring 

a half-gallon of vinegar in 

the toilet and letting it soak 

overnight. If you are crunched 

for time, though, try a product 

such as Scotch-Brite Disposable 

Toilet Bowl Scrubber for 

rust and stains. It's designed 

specifically to remove rust 

and stains from inside the 

bowl, and it has a "no touch

make clean-up quick and 

easy.

RELAX, REJUVENATE 

Homeowners create backyard havens 

A 

s our lives become 

busier, our need for 

rest and rejuvenation 

is increasingly important to 

our health and well-being. 

With rising gasoline prices 

and flight delays often defeating 

the purpose of vacationing 

altogether, homeowners 

are embracing the relaxation 

value of the "outdoor room." 

Here's how you can create an 

outdoor room to suit your 

lifestyle. 

Pat Simpson, host of 

HGTV's "Room to Improve," 

"Before & After" and "Fix It 

Up!", suggests starting with 

some basics, then adding elements 

that appeal to the sens- . 

es. Some of Pat's tips include: 

Start with a deck 

A deck sets the stage for 

the outdoor room. It's important 

to choose decking that is 

easily maintained and will 

provide years of enjoyment. 

Decks made of composite 

lumber protect against splinters, 

moisture and insect damage. 

Decking and railing 

manufacturers offer lowmaintenance, 

splinter-free 

decking in a variety of textures, 

colors and railing 

designs. 

Choose from a smooth, 

new rain forest look or woodgrain 

surface, with the ability 

to curve the decking into 

unique shapes. 

Or give your existing deck 

a lower-cost makeover by 

upgrading the deck planks 

and railings. A beautiful composite 

deck will set the tone 

for the entire outdoor room. 

Add a hot tub 

A hot tub provides a tranquil, 

relaxing and therapeutic 

environment for ultidiate 

backyard enjoyment. 

A hot tub can be placed 

with ease on your deck or on 

a firm, level surface anywhere 

in your backyard. Ideal 

for conversation, relaxation 

and family time, the spa is an 

essential ingredient for the 

development of strong family 

bonds. 

A variety of features 

offered by companies com- 

With rising gasoline 

prices and 

flight delays often 

defeating the purpose 

of vacationing 

altogether, homeowners 

are embracing 

the relaxation 

value of the 'outdoor 

room.' 

plete the aesthetic and functional 

appeal of spas, such as 

waterfall features, lighting 

and music systems, and 

patented hydromassage jets. 

Mix in a herb garden 

Imagine relaxing in your 

hot tub when a sage-scented 

summer breeze floats past. 

Engage your sense of smell 

with an outdoor herb garden 

of lavender, oregano, sage, 

thyme, chives or savory. 

Herbs require a lot of sunlight 

and grow best in a breathable 

clay pot. 

Barbeques and 

outdoor Icitchens 

Consider a barbeque or 

outdoor kitchen center with 

styles that suit your culinary 

and entertaining needs. 

Creating a special backyard

Water damage rarely 

a do-it-yourself project 

H 

andling a water emergency 

is usually not a 

do-it-yourself project. 

Despite the best intentions, 

do-it-yourselfers can make 

some surprisingly costly mistakes 

when coping with water 

damage. These problems are 

exacerbated by today's new 

energy-efficient homes that 

trap moisture inside, more 

easily leading to mold and 

other problems. 

Water in your home can 

come from a variety of problems 

caused by heavy rainstorms, 

leaky roofs, malfunctioning 

sump pumps, burst 

pipes, problem toilets or 

faulty washing machine 

hoses. 

Knowing if you should 

handle the problem yourself 

depends on a variety of factors 

according to Peter Duncanson, 

director of disaster 

restoration training for ServiceMaster 

Clean. Duncanson 

suggests this general rule of 

thumb: "If it's just wetness 

and not standing water, you 

can probably take care of the 

water emergency. If it is more 

than seepage or a puddle, call 

a professional." 

Whether you do it yourself 

or call in a professional, there 

are a few important rules to 

follow: 

• Act quickly. Decide 

whether you can handle the 

situation yourself If you need 

help, call immediately. In 

flooding, water typically 

flows toward substructure and 

lower floors. Porous materials 

will soak up the water, causing 

discoloration, swelling, 

warping and the breakdown of 

building materials. The more 

time that elapses before treatment^ 

the greater the damage. 

Stay out of a flooded 

room if the electricity is still 

on. Wait for the professionals 

to arrive. 

• Turn off the source of 

water if you can do so without 

walking in standing water. 

Once the water has been 

.turned off, then determine 

your next steps. 

One problem many do-ityourselfers 

make is not being 

thorough enough at detection 

• and treatment. That's because 

i 

Nu-Wmy Suppty Kitchen A Bath 

they often do not have the 

equipment or expertise to do 

the job. 

Calling a professional 

restoration service, such as 

ServiceMaster Clean, will 

help you avoid costly repairs 

and future problems. These 

professionals use equipment 

such as non-penetrating 

meters to determine the extent 

of the damage. They inspect 

and evaluate the whole house, 

including many areas a homeowner 

might not think to look. 

For instance, affected 

flooring, walls, carpeting and 

ni GAVLORD 

liOME. IMrKOVE.ME.NT 

doors often have to be 

removed for treatment with 

antimicrobial and odor control 

products. High velocity air 

movers and dehumidifiers are 

used to reduce further damage. 

The only way to determine 

if a home is completely dry is 

to test it using specialized 

equipment. Being thorough 

can help prevent serious 

structural and health prob* 

lems later on.

Tips on cleaning up for tlie big move 

W 

hether it's across 

town or across 

country, each year 

millions of people make the 

big decision to pack up their 

stuff and move — which, 

according to many professional 

organizers, provides the best 

opportunity to finally get 

organized. 

"Moving time is the best 

time to install that new master 

bedroom closet, kitchen 

pantry, garage storage area or 

laundry room," said Linda 

Koopersmith, author of the 

new book "Home Organizing 

Bible" and cohost of Style 

Network's television show 

"Clean House." "That's the 

beauty of moving, the new 

! 

orthern. _ „ 

place is completely empty, a 

blank slate waiting to be created...and 

organized." 

Koopersmith encourages 

people moving to envision 

their dream storage solution, 

then create it before the new 

place becomes even more cluttered 

than their previous 

house. 

"Before packing, carefully 

evaluate all household items, 

like that never-been-used garden 

tool," said Craig Moeller 

of ClosetMaid 

Another key to organizing 

the new home is developing a 

detailed "home organization 

plan" for each new room. One 

effective tool for storage and 

organization planning is the 

ClosetMaid Visual Storage 

Planner, an interactive program 

on the company's newly 

revamped Web site. 

"Being organized in your 

new home means having a 

plan that includes taking only 

what you need from the old 

place," says Linda Rothschild, 

former president of the 

National Association of Professional 

Organizers and 

owner of New, York-based 

Cross It Off Your List, a professional 

organizing company. 

"Homeowners can dispose of 

clutter by simply giving things 

to friends or local charities, 

having a garage sale or throwing 

out all unwanted household 

items. Otherwise people

What about homeowners

Showcase personality 

through paint coiors 

W 

hat do the color of 

your eyes, a love of 

the English countryside 

and the smell of freshly 

peeled oranges have to do 

wi^ the colors of your home? 

According to some home 

decor experts, practically 

everything. 

A new paint and color 

design system, created by 

Pittsburgh Paints, is driven by 

an innovative color evaluation 

tool, connects an individual's 

personality, style and interests 

with contemporary 

trends to reveal a personal 

color palette. 

Called the Voice of Color, 

the system is built on the 

premise that every color has 

an emotional association and 

individuals are drawn to different 

colors for reasons tied 

to their personalities. 

"Recent behavioral studies 

indicate that people are 

searching for an emotional 

connection to the choices 

they make," said Josette Buisson. 

Artistic Director, Pittsburgh 

Paints. 

"They want their decisions 

to better reflect their individuality. 

The Voice of Color 

addresses these needs. It 

doesn't just show consumers 

what colors work well together. 

It creates an individual 

color identity based on that 

person's psychological and 

behavioral makeup. This provides 

meaning and inspires 

confidence in their color 

decisions." 

The starting point of the 

system is the Color Sense 

Game, a fun, researcb-ba^, 

analysis tool ât helps users 

gain an understanding of their 

color preferences on a psychological 

level. Participants 

respond to a number of questions 

on color influencers 

such as emotion, the five 

senses, dreams and core personality. 

For example, participants 

are asked to choose a 

phrase that best describes 

them. Choices include sensitive 

and thoughtful and cheer- 

mm? 

ful and full of energy. Another 

question asks about dream 

preference, some of whichinclude 

riding horses in Montana 

or taking a cruise off the 

Greek Islands aboard a luxury 

sailboat. 

"Manufacturers and other 

influencers have traditionally 

dictated color selection for 

consumers," said Buisson, 

creator of the game. "Color 

preferences are unique. 

•nt nwni t(ari>A| | | | 

Choosing color is a personal 

exercise. Emotion, experience, 

style and values all 

shape our color preferences. 

Many times, we're not even 

aware of why we like a color 

or how certain colors in tandem 

make us feel. 

"Revealing our interests 

and traits brings us to a better 

understanding of why we 

gravitate to certain colors. It 

breeds confidence while sim- 

plifying the color selection 

process." 

Preferences identified 

through the game reflect a 

color personality which can 

be matched by one of nine 

Pittsburgh Paints Harmony 

Collection color families.

Special effects paints 

add 'wow' to walls 

Special effects 

are not limited 

to action 

films or CD tracks. 

Decorating has its own arsenal 

for adding fun. finesse 

and flourish to a space, 

including some of the latest 

innovations in interior wall 

paints. 

Combine one of these 

exclusive coatings with an 

artful technique, and it's certain 

to add 

'Studio 

finishes 

allows you 

to explore 

unlimited 

decorative 

effects'" 

Kurt 

Denman 

"wow" to 

any wall. 

f o r 

instance, 

intriguing 

g l a z e 

effects, lustrousmetallic 

looks, 

highly tactile 

textures and 

o t h e r 

extraordinarysurfaces 

can be 

created with 

a series of products. Some 

companies offer a line that, 

when used with its premium 

paints, can yield visually 

dynamic design ranging from 

subtle to bold. 

"Studio Finishes allows 

you to explore unlimited decorative 

effects," said paint 

expert Kurt Denman, "when 

you combine these glazes and 

finishes with techniques such 

as color washing, sponging, 

strie, stippling or ragging." 

To stcjce the imagination 

and provide inspirUM)n and 

tips on how to attain such 

special effects on walls and 

interior surfaces, there is an 

easy-to-follow Studio Finishes 

Style DVD available 

through Benjamin Moore 

retailers and online. 

The DVD features ideas 

that can help you translate 

color into a whole new vocabulary 

of visual effects: 

• Studio finishes glaze 

adds depth and dimension to 

surfaces when blended with 

any of your favorite colors. 

The most versatile of the 

products in the new lineup, 

glaze also delivers a variety 

of decorative looks, depending 

on the application tool 

and technique, such as dragging 

a dry brush through the 

wet glaze to create a fine 

linen or raw silk effect. 

• Metallics are the newest 

home fashion adornment. To 

create lavish shimmering 

effects, there is a quintet of 

metallic glazes — gold, copper, 

silver and bronze, as well 

as a range of 30 pearlescent 

tints. 

Used alone, they can provide 

subtle radiance; blended 

with the studio finishes latex 

glaze, the result is a translucent 

veiled effect, ideal for 

walls, trim or accent pieces. 

When added over a primed or 

painted surface, an elegant 

distinctive look is achieved. 

• Texture — Sand finish 

brings an inviting tactile quality 

to walls and ceilings while 

hiding minor surface imperfections. 

Light is absorbed 

and reflected by tiny granules 

in the coating, enlivening 

walls with depth and dimension. 

The sand finish may be 

custom-tinted or top-coated 

with a glaze mixture. 

• When working on large 

treat or for more advtnced 

teehalqoct, latex glaze 

extender is the recommended 

paint additive because it dramatically 

increases the "open 

time" keeping the mixture 

wet, allowing for longer 

working time. 

With so many options, 

how does one make a final 

choice? 

Denman advises the use of 

sample boards — foam core 

or gator board from an art or 

office supply will do. "Creat-
