You can always find one or the other of them at the corner of Woodworth and Belleview Roads in Leslie. Neil and Jeanie Valentine are there each school day to keep the students safe as they cross the busy road. They began as substitute Crossing Guards in 2003 but quickly moved to a permanent position. “We decided to do this (crossing guards) for something to keep us active and help out. Now, one of our favorite parts is keeping in touch with the kids,” Jeanie explained. “A lot of our friends have children or grandchildren in school,” added Neil. “We generally go to all the football, basketball and baseball games we can in order to watch their kids.” With three grown children of their own, the Valentine’s are very pleased they are all closely located to them. They have two daughters and one son, four grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren. “Each month,” Jeanie

Neal & Jeanie Valentine keep Leslie students safe.

Local dentists are redefining the phrase “put your money where your mouth is.” This Halloween, trick-or-treaters can bring their excess candy to Adkisa Family Dental at either their Stockbridge or Pinckney office and receive $1 per pound. Dr. Heather Vogel is leading this anti-decay movement by giving away dollars and oral care products in exchange for cavity-provoking candy. Candy will be collected at Adiska Family Dental (100 West Main Stockbridge or 625 East Main Pinckney) the Monday after Halloween (November 2nd) from 5:00-6:00pm. The candy must be unopened. It will then be shipped to troops overseas, along with personal

hygiene products the office has been collecting. In addition to the cash for candy, Adiska Family Dental will have a station set up for children to design and decorate cards and letters to be mailed with the care packages for the troops. Dr. Heather Vogel is one of three dentists at Adiska Family Dental, which emphasizes general family dental care as well as cosmetic procedures. Dr. Vogel is available to provide more i n f o r m a t i o n a t 5 1 7 - 8 5 1 - 8 0 0 8 (Stockbridge) or 734-878-9019 (Pinckney). Both offices will be entering each participating child in a drawing for a chance to win an I-pod Nano.

Cash for Candy Local Dentists Take a Stand Against Sweets this Halloween

Letter to the Editor Dear Area Residents: Everyday, it seems, I face a new breakdown in my physical being, such as my hair turning gray, my joints aching, my strength waning, and each time I think, “Well, it's not the worst thing in the world...” I started to think, “what would be the worst thing in the world?” cancer? diabetes? a house fire? no money? All bad, but not the “worst thing in the world.” Then I thought, maybe not

knowing where my next meal is coming from would be the worst...but, no, that's not it, either. Hmmm, maybe it is not knowing where your child's next meal is coming from! That is certainly a con-tender for “worst thing in the world.” Stockbridge Community Outreach, in conjunction with area organizations and churches, works to help people avoid facing one of the “worst things in the


Coulrophobics beware! Gee Farms Nursery, located at 14928 Bunkerhill Road in Stockbridge, has once again put on their Annual Haunted Greenhouse. Open exclusively at 7:00 on Saturday and Sunday nights starting October 17th until November 1st, a scary time is guaranteed for all. Gee Farms began the tradition over a decade ago, bringing in thousands of people from all over the area during the

Halloween season. Throughout the years, more and more haunted houses and corn mazes have popped up, shoving this hidden little treasure into the background. For the first time ever, Gee Farms has collaborated with the Stockbridge Football team, expanding the close-knit gardening family to include the players, their "Pigskin Parents" and various others from the Grass Lake and Leslie areas.

began, “we all meet for breakfast at the Depot Diner. It gives us a chance to catch up on how everyone is doing. We really enjoy it.” Jeanie credits her two older brothers for instilling in her the importance of honesty and love of family that she clearly exhibits today. She was born in Williamston and raised in Mason. In 1949 she moved to Leslie, met Neil, and has been with him ever since. Neil, originally from Lansing, was raised in Eaton Rapids. His family moved to a small farm in Leslie in 1937. He worked in and retired from auto repair and body work. For approximately 15 years, he enjoyed racing model boats and hydroplanes as a hobby. Neil claims his mother was influential in the development of his inquisitive mind. She was an artist, a kind woman with an open mind. In his adult life Neil credits Floyd Wallace, a local inventor, for teaching him to pursue his ideas and always finish projects he started. Both Neil and Jeanie are involved with the American Legion and Auxiliary. The Legion not only takes care of veterans and their families, but also is ready to help when a crisis or a need arises in the local community. The Valentines enjoy volunteering there time and being a part of such a worthwhile organization.

“Leslie has been a nice place to live. It’s a friendly town, fairly safe and a pretty town, too” Neil said. When asked to describe the Valentines, Don Vickers responded, “They’re really good people, a class act, top shelf!” As I spent time with them, what came to my mind was a movie quote: ‘they go together like peas and carrots’. Two unique people, full of life and laughter, that compliment each other perfectly. No wonder they will be celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary next July. Although they think being Crossing Guards ‘isn’t that big of a deal’ – it’s your dependability, positive attitudes, bright smiles and kindness that influence many children each year. It’s for that example you set that I would like to say, Neil and Jeanie Valentine, thank you for all you do, for all of us! If you know someone deserving of a Forgotten “Thank You”, please email me at: [email protected].

FIVE GOOD REASONS TO OBTAIN AN

INDIVIDUAL LIFE INSURANCE PROGRAM You may be thinking, “I have insurance through work.” or “Is it really worth the cost of the premium?”

1. you will no longer have your group Life Insurance plan through work due to an involuntary or voluntary job loss.

2. you develop a medical condition while employed and leave your employer voluntarily or involuntarily, you may become uninsurable or experience higher premium rates for a Life Insurance program. Experts agree, it is wise to lock in a lower rate when you are younger and healthier.

3. l ife insurance can be inexpensive compared to the benefits. Rates are determined by age, gender, zip code, general health and tobacco consumption primarily. Call me and we can take a look at your individual situation.

4. you can never make the promise that you will never leave them, but you can promise to not leave them wanting.

5. you can help your loved ones avoid financial hardship by leaving them the money to pay for the mortgage, college education as well as day to day living expenses.

It makes sense to at supplement your group plan or invest in a program that addresses your financial obligations so your loved ones can experience a life free from financial burdens. Investing in a program today will allow you to invest in the largest program for the lowest rate for a long term program based on your present health and age. When someone waits until he/she is older and perhaps not as healthy as you used to be will increase your premiums. By investing in a program earlier in your life and locking in an earlier rate while young may provide a lower premium. Experts recommend that you review your program regularly because there may be something out there that offers better coverage at a lower rate than when you first obtained your program. ♦ Give me a call today and allow me

to assist you and your family with your Life Insurance needs.

HAUNTED Greenhouse

At Gee Farms 14928 Bunkerhill Rd

Stockbridge, MI 49285

Saturdays - October 17th, 24th, 31st 7:00pm - 10:30pm

Sundays - October 18th, 25th, November 1st 7:00pm - 9:30pm

$7/person or $5 with a non-perishable food item for local outreach.

Planning began in the beginning of August with construction starting in early September. Volunteers met diligently every weekend to work on making this year's Haunted Greenhouse a success, whether lending a hammer or artistic touches like Kaytlyn Higgins, who painted most of the scenery. 25-30 volunteers make this Greenhouse trek a frightful surprise from beginning to end. The Jack-in-the-Box characters start

off the experience, getting the adrenaline pumping by urging visitors forward, assuring them (falsely) that there is absolutely ahead nothing to fear. Along the way are various themed rooms, like the Polka-dot room, the Funny Farm and a replicated car crash. The Funeral Parlor adds an eerie touch with the casket being an authentic item, used for burying prisoners with no friends or family to help with funeral arrangements. Not to be outdone by their counterparts, various monsters and ghouls keep the visitor alert by popping out

unexpectedly, along with loud noises and horns blaring at unexpected times. Plans are already being made to upgrade changes in the Haunted Greenhouse during the coming weekends, while volunteers are already brainstorming for bigger and scarier things next Halloween. The cost of admission is $7.00 per person, or $5.00 with a non-perishable food item to be donated to local outreach programs.

Blackhawks Pick Up First Win of Season!

State Ranked Hudson, #4 in Division 7 and Stockbridge, #9 in Division 5, went toe-to-toe last Friday night in an epic battle. The game featured 5 lead changes with the final one coming with :51 left to give Hudson a 28-25 victory.

The atmosphere was electric Friday night as two state ranked and undefeated opponents squared off at Boyd Stadium. Stockbridge, ranked #9 in Division 5, played host to the #4 team in Division 7, the Hudson Tigers in a game of 7 - 0 teams. Hudson entered the game averaging 40 pts/game to Stockbridge’s 35pts/game. Defensively Hudson had been giving up 15 pts/game to Stockbridge’s 17pts/game. Neither team disappoints as they played to a 0-0 1st quarter tie before Hudson scored with 8:57 remaining until intermission on a 3 yard run. The PAT was no good. Stockbridge would answer just 3:15 later when Koltin Grammer recovered a fumble in the end zone. The fumble came as RJ Marshall hauled in one of his 3 catches on the evening. He was stripped as he got to the 1-yard line and Grammer pounced on the ball. Stockbridge would extend it’s lead to 13-6 at 3:09 of the third quarter on a 16 yard pass from Jeff O’Brien to Marshall. Hudson would answer quickly as they covered 80 yards in 1:06 to close the cap to 13-12. Stockbridge would quickly go on the offensive as Jacob Pace took the ensuing kickoff at the 20 yard line and raced 80 yards to pay dirt, but a penalty brought the ball back out to their 46 yard line. They were undeterred by the penalty and covered the 54 yards in 5 plays capped by a 24 yard touchdown reception by Pace from O’Brien with :04 remaining

to extend the lead to 19-12. The fourth quarter was more up and down football as Hudson scored with 8:32 on a 2 yard run. The PAT run was good and Hudson led 20-19. Stockbridge would sprint down the field highlighted by an O’Brien to Dominic Busen 37 yard pass, and capped by an O’Brien 1 yard run to retake the lead at 25-20 with 2:03 remaining. Hudson rose to the occasion as they had their best kickoff return of the night as they returned the ball to midfield. They would score the game winner with :51 seconds to play on a 1 yard run. Stockbridge would get 4 more plays, but just ran out of time and fell 25-28. O’Brien finished 10-24 passing for 163 yards and 2 touchdowns. He would also rush for 110 yards on 22 carries. RJ Marshall caught 3 passes for 51 yards, Jacob Pace 3 for 29 yards, and Dominic Busen 2 for 61 yards. Nick Hoard and Ashton Baalaer also caught passes for 16 and 6 yards respectively. Hudson Coach Chris Luma said, “That is a very talented football team. They have a stout defense, one of the best we have played this year, and an offense that is like lightening in a bottle. We thought we had left them to much time at the end.” The Panthers host East Jackson in it’s regular season finale at Boyd Stadium this Friday. They will find out their playoff opponent Sunday night during a 7:00 selection show being broadcast on Fox Sports.

The Stockbridge Boys’ Cross-Country team has been hitting stride lately with several outstanding performances in the past two weeks. Each athlete on the team has had a career best time in a recent race to set up the Panther harriers for success in the closing weeks of the season. It began with an 8th place finish at Portage Invitational which included a field of 33 Division III schools. The Portage meet boasts 12 of the top 15 teams in the state and is a good indicator of the Panthers’ ability. The J.V. squad maintained the momentum by blazing the course at the East Lansing J.V. Invitational. No team score was kept but seven harriers completed the 3.1 mile course in new personal record times. David Campbell earned a medal in 16th place with a time of eighteen twenty. Tyler Carpenter also medalled in 24th place with an eighteen thirty-nine. Brian Sears just missed a medal in 26th place but earned a ribbon along with Zach Olson and Kyle Kramer. David, Tyler, Brian, and Zach each met the Varsity Letter requirement for running under nineteen minutes. Chad Elmer, Chris Adams, and Matt Nolan also had P.R.’s. Great race guys. The Varsity team ran on Saturday at the Greater Lansing Invitational. The Greater Lansing meet involves 35 schools in one race regardless of school size. Stockbridge was the highest finishing Division III team placing 13th. Tyler Graustein led the way earning a plaque for finishing 25th. “This team is, from top to bottom, the fastest team I have coached in my time as Stockbridge Head Coach” stated Coach Allison. “Eleven athletes have already met the varsity letter criteria for breaking the 19:00 barrier.” The Panthers are preparing for the SMAA Conference Championship and the Regional meet and are a top contender to advance to the State Finals. The Panthers are currently Honorable Mention in the most recent state rankings. Personal Records Run Recently

7th Graders Drop Tough Set to Lansing Christian The 7th Grade’s first match of the week was against Albion. Due to time constraints, they were only able to play two games with the scores being 21-13 and 6-15. Jena Smith led the way in serving with 7 service points while Jamie Cool and Hailee Smith had some great hustle and defensive plays. On Wednesday, they too hosted Lansing Christian and started the match by playing our best game of the season thus far. The Panthers made some great serves and were able to set it up for some nice

hits as well. Shelby Hastings served for nine of the first match points and ended up with 16 total service points for the night. Sheridan Leatherberry and Maddy Armstrong had some great passes and serves on the night as well. Stockbridge won the first game with a score of 25-20, but unfortunately went on to lose the final three games with scores of 8-25, 8-25, and 20-25. The seventh grade team will be hosting Columbia Central on Monday and Jackson Western on Wednesday to finish out our season

I can't seem to convey femininity no matter how hard I try. Like bugs, for example. I don't mind bug or

spiders. I just can't get worked up into a tizzy over insects. They don't "bug" me. (Ahem-sorry!) If I was the epitome of femininity, I would hop up onto a chair whenever I see a spider, waving my hands in the air (oh so daintily, mind you), crying "Ah! A bug! Make it go away!" The same is true with mice, snakes, frogs, etc. If I was a country when it came to reptiles, amphibians and rodents, I'd be Switzerland. Then there are my hands. They are always severely dry, especially in during winter months and my bathroom becomes a bevy of pastel-colored lotions and creams, all boasting adjectives like, "Dry!" and "Chapped!" and "Flaky!" along with promises of "Intense Treatment!" and "24 Hour Moisturizing!" Following the same hand (literally) are my fingernails. Let's just say I have writer's nails: short, jagged, rough and rarely polished. I just can't seem to get the hang of long nails on the computer keyboard. I always miss and end up typing one row

above of where I'm aiming. Also, I have a callus on my right forefinger from gripping my writing utensil so hard. Then the callus turns the color of ink I've been using. I'm just overall a mess. I love to garden and can (and do) spend hours in my flower beds when the weather permits. But instead of bright gardening clogs and a large, feminine sun hat with matching gardening gloves, I traipse around in big rubber boots that come up to my knees, if I wear foot attire at all! (I prefer my bare feet.) And wearing gloves seem to hinder my performance in pulling weeds and getting the entire root. Which results in dirt under my fingernails that stays put no matter how many toothpicks I slide under them to clean them. Not to mention the stains I get on the sides of my fingers, especially my callus. Which results in washing my hands 87 times a day, which ends up chapping my hands and brings us back to my flaky, scaly hands. No wonder I don't mind snakes and lizards-our skin resembles one another. And to that end, dirt and mud are not offenders to me, either. When I get muddy gardening (and I definitely will) I'll just shower. No big deal. There's no quietly sobbing into a

hanky for me and looking up under my lashes, with two tears positioned just so. Crying is a nasty, nasty affair for me. My face becomes all splotchy and red and I get very nasally very quickly, not to mention the red, puffy eyes and drippy nose. And speaking of eyelashes, you'll notice a lack of mine. Not only is there some (well, a lot) missing, but I have actual places on my eyes where the lashes are completely non-existent. I'm not kidding. And we all know that femininity and eyelashes go hand in hand. (I'm actually considering eyelash extensions, and when I do, believe me, you'll read all about it!) I do, however, have one or two traits that are mildly feminine, like fainting. I've always been a fainter from day one. I actually lost consciousness in kindergarten, standing in line for recess. I fell straight back, landing flat on my back of my head. "Aha!” you're probably thinking. "That explains a lot!" But for me, there's no collapsing quietly into a corner. I begin to hyperventilate, loudly, while the black stars and dots dance in front of my eyes. I blindly throw out my hands in an attempt to find something or someone to hold on to, breathing heavily the entire time. And when I finally drop, I collapse to the floor, solidly, all the while breathing like I've just run a marathon.

Another trait that may be construed as feminine is screaming. Not only did I used to be able to scream, but scream on command. And we're talking so high-pitched that all the dogs in the neighborhood would howl in agony. The very first time Himself heard me scream, he looked at me with surprise and now that I'm thinking on it, a little respect. "Wow!" he exclaimed, impressed. "You sounded just like a girl then!" But as I get older, my "screams" are more of a horse "AGHGHGH!” I also loathe sports and would rather swallow my own head than be subject to a sporting event of any kind. And I'm not athletic in any way, shape or form, which brings us back to the former paragraph. I carry a pink phone and Magma6000 is pink, too. In fact, most things I've picked out lately have all been pink. Maybe there is some hope for me after all. I may not be all sugar and spice but there are certainly traces of it lurking about. Feminist leader, writer and activist Betty Friedan said, "When she stopped conforming to the conventional picture of femininity, she began to enjoy being a woman." I think she may have been speaking about me.

The following is an editorial written by State Representative Barb Byrum (D-Onondaga). If you have questions about this commentary, please contact Rep. Byrum's office by calling (517) 373-0587. With the growing popularity of social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook, we now have more tools than ever at our disposal to keep in touch with our friends, family and loved ones. In fact, it is estimated that nearly 25 percent of Internet users visit Facebook daily, making it one of the most popular Web sites in the world.

I have maintained my own Facebook account for a while now, and I have found it to be an extremely useful tool in talking to people throughout the community, and keeping residents updated about what is going on here at the State Capitol. Unfortunately, while social media sites like these can be useful, there is potential for children

who use these sites to come into contact with inappropriate or even dangerous material. More than one-third of young Internet users have seen sexual material while online, and one in seven have received sexual solicitations, according to a study from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. If your child uses these social networking sites, or visits online chat rooms, be sure to talk with them about the dangers of meeting people online. A good

way to do this is to try and keep track of who your children are exchanging e-mail with, and be sure to supervise your children when they use sites like Facebook or MySpace. Some other tips that may help: • Place your home computer in the family room or in an easily accessible location. • Sit down with your child and create clear, simple rules for them to follow and be sure to follow up on whether these rules are being followed. • Some of these rules may include a time limit spent online, or a list of sites that should not be visited. Post these rules by your computer, or in busy areas of your home. You also may want to protect your children by using filters and software that allow you to block hazardous sites and monitor your child's Internet usage. Web surfing programs like Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox have these filters already installed. Remember, parents are the best tool a

child can use to stay safe online. Encourage your kids to talk with you about what they see online, and be open and available when they have questions. If a child feels comfortable talking with you about their Internet use, they will be much more likely to come to you if something happens. Parents of teenagers and older kids should remind their children that potential employers and college admissions often check the Facebook and MySpace profiles of applicants, so they should think twice about what they post online. A good rule of thumb: when you are about to click "send," ask yourself whether you would mind seeing what you're posting on a billboard. The Internet can be a great tool to help educate and communicate, but families should be aware of the dangers. With strong communication and some preparation, we can help keep our kids safe.
