Local woodsmen gave live demonstra-

Summer has officially arrived,

which means local farmers mar-

kets have already begun spring-

ing up around Northern Lower

Michigan, providing communi-

ties with access to locally grown

fruits and vegetables, along with

a variety of other unique prod-

ucts. With nearly 300 farmers

markets in the state of Michigan,

locating an outlet for healthy

alternatives to store-bought pro-

duce is now easier than ever.

Shopping at a farmers market

is a truly unique experience in

every respect, providing shoppers

with handcrafted products and

heirloom varieties of plants,

along with a chance to build rela-

tionships with local growers and

gain knowledge on healthy eat-

ing.

Speaking of healthy eating

habits, studies have shown that

produce loses nutritional value

during the time that elapses after

The Eagles Club of Gaylord will host the Veterans Support

Ride and Dinner on Saturday, July 6, 2013 at their main hall.

The proceeds will go to Patriot Place - a Goodwill Industries

transitional housing program for homeless veterans in

Gaylord.

The recently built housing complex, located on Patriot

Drive off of Murner Road, features eight duplex units, along

with a support center. Veterans are given a 24-month period

to live in the complex, during which they are required to par-ticipate in a program designed to assist them to transition

into more permanent housing. On site is a 24/7 on-call staff,

which provides services for substance abuse, mental health,

life skills training, and help with veterans disabilities. With

over 3,500 homeless veterans in the state of Michigan alone,

this is the only program of its kind for veterans experiencing

homelessness in the Northern Michigan region.

The fundraiser includes a spaghetti dinner, social hour fea-

turing guest speakers, live music, bike show, and 50/50 raffle.

In addition to the dinner ceremony, the f undraiser will also

feature the Vietnam Memorial Moving Wall the half-size

replica of the Washington, DC Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

The Moving Wall is taken to various cities throughout the

country, providing Americans with an opportunity to pa y

homage to the more than 58,000 individuals who sacrificed

their lives for their country.

According to Patriot Places website:

Our goal is for the veterans to increase their strengths and

income through life skills classes, employment and/or the

receipt of benefits. They will also be instilled with greater

self-determination through the development of their own

individualized service plan and involvement in community

activities. Each of these initiatives is aimed at helping

Northern Michigans homeless veterans overcome barriers to

independence, and increase their overall quality of life.

Dinner begins at 4 p.m., with a required donation of $10,

and is open to the public.

For more information, visit www.goodwillnmi.org/home-

less-housing/patriot-place, or call Patriot Place at (989) 448-

2260.

Alpenfest 49 is just a few weeks away, and if you

love to ride the carnival rides you will certainly

want to pick up a MEGA-PASS; a special ticket to

the carnival, which allows the pass-holder to ride

all the amusement, rides all day long, each andevery day of the Alpenfest celebration. Its a ride

riders dream come true, not to mention a huge

discount versus the price of p urchasing individual

ride tickets (it would take a LOT of tickets to do

what a single MEGA-PASS can do), or even all

you can ride daily passes for each day of the car-

nival (which do not offer unlimited ride hours).

The rides this year at Alpenfest will once again

be furnished by Skerbeck Carnivals, and past

attendees know the amazing array of spinning,

twirling, jostling, flipping and g-force wielding

rides that are packed onto the Alpenstrasse. A

new adventure waits along each step of the

Strasse.The MEGA-PASS can be purchased up until July

1st for just $50, and after July 1st the cost is still a

very reasonable $60. A MEGA-PASS can be pur-

chased on-line at www.gaylordalpenfest.com. You

must present a photo ID to pick up your pass at

the Skerbeck Bros ticket booth during Alpenfest.

Have great time riding the rides at Alpenfest 49.

SCATTERED

At a ribbon cutting ceremony to be held at 1:00 p.m. on

June 29, Wellington Farm, USA near Grayling will open a new

historical display building. The building will house twomachines, which played a part in the industrial development

of the country. These machines are the first handle lathe or

spindle lathe and the first belt sander patented in the United

States. Perry T. Lamkin an early settler of Washtenaw County,

Michigan invented them. They were put into operation in a

mill in Whittaker, Michigan in 1887.

Early in the 1950s the two machines along with some

blacksmithing tools and saw fitting tools that belonged to

Perry Lamkin were shipped to Northern Michigan where

they were placed in storage in an old barn. There they

remained for over 50 years. In 2011 descendants of Mr.

Lamkin placed the items in the custody of Wellington Farm

Park, Inc. They were placed in storage for safekeeping and

plans were developed for a historical display of them. That

display will be made available to the public on June 29 of this

year. The event will be a part of the annual celebration of

Dairy Days at Wellington Farm, USA on June 29 and 30.

Dairy Days is the longest running special event to be pre-sented by the 60-acre living history complex. It is also one of

the most popular. During the weekend long presentation,

visitors can watch as cream is churned into butter, milk and

eggs are turned into custards and ice cream and skim milk is

turned into cottage cheese, or smearcase as it was called dur-

ing the Great Depression. In addition, there will be displays

of cream separators, churns and milking equipment. On

Saturday evening, June 29 there will be a Classic Country

Music Show on the Wellington Farm Main Stage featuring

Don Rivers and the Good Old Boys. There is no additionalcharge for the country music show; regular park admission

will include the show. Admission is $7.50 for adults and

$5.50 for seniors and students.

Wellington Farm, USA is a living history park depicting life

as it was lived in a rural, mid-western farming community

during the Great Depression. Wellington Farm has been

acclaimed as being the only living history park in the nation

that portrays specifically 1932, the very worst year of the

Great Depression. The park opens each morning at 9:00 a.m.

and the first guided tour departs the Visitors Center at 10.

The last tour of the day leaves the visitor center at 4:00 p.m. .

Beginning June 15, the farm will be open seven days a week.

Also beginning June 15 the farm will be open on Friday and

Saturday evenings until 7 p.m. with the last tour leaving the

visitor Center at 5:30.

Wellington Farm Park, Inc. is a 5013 non-profit corpora-

tion. Welling Farm, USA is located at 6944 S. Military Road

southwest of Grayling. The farm is easily accessed fromeither Exit 251 of I-75 or Exit 206 of US-127. Further infor-

mation can be obtained by

CHARLEVOIXVerizon stores in

Charlevoix, East Jordan, Bellaire,Cheboygan, and Kalkaska are joining a

national community enhancing cam-

paign to give every child a backpack

stuffed with school supplies. The packs

will be given away on a first come first

serve basis on August 3.

The five Northwestern Michigan

stores are owned by Justin Micheau

whose minimum goal is to give away

100 in each store in Petoskey,

Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Kalkaska and

East Jordan, and fifty in Bellaire. That's

450 backpacks with supplies valued at

$95 each. The most exciting thing

about this promotion is that we can

take the burden of those expenditures

off the parents, they can use the moneyto take a long weekend with the kids or

for dance class, hockey, any kind of

relationship building activities, said Micheau. He hopes that in his commu-

nity the backpacks will free up some parents finances to maybe get a child

involved in an activity they may not have been able to otherwise afford.

Nationwide TCC Verizon is trying to give away over 60,000 backpacks.

Each store sets a goal and is presently collecting donations that will be

packed into the backpacks and set

aside for the big day. Residents in the

community that have heard about the

promotion have already given Micheau$450 in dollar donations and businesses

like Fox Motors, the Grey Gables and

AmericInn in Charlevoix have given

donations as well. I want people to

know this is about community. Verizon

is doing this on a national level but

were not sharing the money, thats all

local, what we donate is how much

support we can give back to the com-

munity, he said.

No purchase is necessary to receive a

free backpack the goal is to create

awareness of store locations.

Backpacks will be given to every stu-

dent that walks through the doors until

theyre

gone.Its

first

come first serve, you cant come in and say I

need three backpacks, the students have to

be there, besides its more fun to pick out

your own, said Micheau.

it has been harvested. Fruits and vegetables

stocked at local supermarkets have typically

been in transit anywhere from seven to four-

teen days. During that time, produce can

travel, on average, more than 1,200 miles

before reaching the consumer. Produce

found at local farmers markets has, manytimes, been harvested that same day, and is

at the peak of its freshness and nutrient

availability not to mention free of chemical

preservatives and pesticides that are typical-

ly found in the products sold at the local gro-

cer.

Based on the ever-increasing popularity of

fresh, local produce, its no surprise that

these types of markets are cropping up

throughout the country. According to the US

Department of Agriculture, the number of

farmers markets has increased by over 3,000

in just the last four years, meaning that near-

ly 8,000 independent establishments are

scattered across the nation.

During Michigans spr ing/summer season,

shoppers are able to find a wide array of

products, including asparagus, spinach,

rhubarb, wild leeks, morels, oyster mush-

rooms, collard greens, parsley, and basil.

Aside from the fresh herbs, fruits, and veg-

etables, vendors typically carry a variety of

flowers, meats, honey, breads, organic chick-

en eggs, canned goods, and syrup. Of course,

what is carried at a given market depends on

a combination of location, season, and mar-

ket rules about what can be sold.

Shopping at a farmers market is not only

beneficial to the individual consuming the

produce, but to the community as a whole.

Small farms, earning $250,000 or less annu-

ally, make up 94 percent of farms in the US.In buying direct from the farmer, one not

only receives a more quality product, but

also helps the small-farm operator to cut out

the costly middleman. Farmers markets offer

a unique experience, where one can meet

like-minded members of society, and where

more of your dollar will stay in the commu-

nity.

entertaining.

This year will bring the Wolverine Wildcat

5k race, animal exhibits, draft horse pulls,

blacksmithing, shingle mill and band saw

demonstrations, kayak and canoe races, andold-fashioned chicken dinner, chainsaw

carving contest, other contests for people of

all ages, a kids alley, live entertainment, fire-

works, along with local crafters, food ven-

dors and more. Saturday will begin with a

parade starting on Main Street and leading

into Lumbermans Memorial Park, and

Twister Joe will be back making rounds

during the parade and in the park with his

one-of-a-kind balloon creations.

A new event this year is an open-mic con-

test, with $1,000 in cash prizes. There aretwo categories for performers; youth ages 12

to 18 and adults ages 19 and up.

Participants will compete with two songs

By Jim Akans

Its a clean machine, chimes Paul

McCartney in the classic Beatles tune;

Penny Lane. For Gaylord area residents

and visitors looking for the ultimate self-

service or automatic wash facility for

cleaning their machine, the path leads

down M-32 west, at the corner of

McVannel, to the location of JnJ Alpine

Auto Wash.

Area builder, Jim Jeffers, and his wife,

Jennifer, purchased the facility in July of

2009 and made several upgrades to the

establishment, including adding doors

to the self-serve and automatic bays, to

make the task of washing vehicles dur-

ing cold weather months more comfort-

able.

We work very hard to ensure the

facility is clean inside and out, states

Jeffers. We are also committed to

attentive customer service. Our on-site

technician, Virgil Koronka, is there to

make sure the equipment is tuned up

and operating at optimum performance,

and personally helps customers if they

have a concern.

JnJ Alpine Auto Wash has two fully

automatic bays and four self-service

bays. Vacuums, carpet shampooers and

even interior fragrance products are also

on hand to add those final finishing

touches to their customers vehicles.

The self-service bays have extra-height

doors so they are able to accommodate

vehicles that may not fit into other car

wash locations.

All of the water we use is fresh, notes

Jeffers. The soap tech who services our

location commented that we have one

of the cleanest water supplies in his

northern Michigan coverage area. What

that means for our customers is they

wont end up with water spots on their

newly cleaned vehicle.

During the year, Jeffers estimates the

location serves and average of approxi-

mately 100 vehicles a day, with peak

season being in March and April when

each the automatic bays alone can serve

up to 200 vehicles a day.

JnJ Alpine Auto Wash offers specials

for returning customers, such as

Commercial Fleet Account discounts

and VIP Coupons; which gives the hold-

er a free wash after five regularly priced

washes. They are also active in commu-

nity fundraising for non-profit organiza-

tions, and have a St Mary Schoolfundraiser on Wednesdays between 3

and 9 pm, with ten-percent of all car

wash proceeds during that period going

to the schools teacher fund.

We believe strongly in supporting our

local economy, states Jim Jeffers. We

understand it is very important to do

our part in helping to boost our local

economy.

Choosing a locally owned store

generates almost four times asmuch economic benefit for the

surrounding region as shopping at

a chain, a new study has conclud-

ed. The analysis also found that

eating at a local restaurant pro-

duces more than twice the local

economic impact of dining at a

chain restaurant.

The research firm Civic

Economics analyzed data from fif-

teen independent retailers andseven independent restaurants, all

located in Salt Lake City, and com-

pared their impact on the local

economy with four chain retail

stores (Barnes & Noble, Home

Depot, Office Max, and Target) and

three national restaurant chains

(Darden, McDonalds, and P.F.

Changs).

The study found that the local

retailers return an average of 52percent of their revenue to the

local economy, compared with just

14 percent for the chain retailers.

Similarly, the local restaurants re-

circulate an average of 79 percent

of their revenue locally, compared

to 30 percent for the chain eateries.

What accounts for the difference?

Independent businesses spend

much more on local labor. They

also procure more goods for resale

locally and rely much more heavily

on local providers for services like

accounting and printing. This

means that much of the money a

customer spends at a local store or

restaurant is re-spent within the

local economy, supporting other

businesses and jobs.

PETOSKEY - A reduction in federal funding is forcing

Northwest Michigan Works! to reduce the hours of operation

at its Petoskey Service Center and close the Adult Education

Learning Lab located there. Beginning July 1 the ServiceCenter will only be open Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday

from 9:00 a.m. to noon and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The

Petoskey Learning Lab has already closed.

Michigan Works! will offer a new service in the Petoskey

area and in several other counties through its Career

Connections sessions, in which staff people offer a variety of

job search and career development services in scheduled

group sessions. These will be promoted via various media

outlets and on the website at: NWMichWorks.org.

Northwest Michigan Works! continues to operate full-time,

full-service centers, including Learning Labs, at 1209 South

Garfield in Traverse City and 401 Lake Street in Cadillac.

There is also a Learning Lab open Monday through Thursday

at the Jordan Valley District Library in East Jordan.

"We are tackling our budget reductions in a variety of cre-

ative ways, all with the intent of keeping our services to busi-

nesses and career seekers as strong as ever, said Elaine

Wood, CEO of the Northwest Michigan Council of

Governments. Northwest Michigan Works remains a healthy

and forward-moving organization that helps about 25,000

individuals and businesses each year."

Tyler Patrick, son of Andy & Norma Patrick of Gaylord was

recently appointed as the Cadet Wing Commander

University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, ROTC Air Force

Detachment 390. The Cadet Wing Commanders primary

responsibilities are the same as other commanders, to make

sure their people are being led, trained, and taken care of.

Cadet Patrick, as Wing Commander for his detachment

will be in charge of approximately 100 cadets. Sixty of these

cadets will be learning the fundamentals of military service,

such as attention to detail, critical thinking, following orders,

and marching. As Wing Commander he will be responsible

for proposing a training plan and ensuring it is executed cor-

rectly. The other 40 cadets will be learning and experiment-

ing with different leadership styles, preparing to become

commissioned officers in the United States Air Force.

Though teaching 60 cadets how to march may be difficult,

it pales in comparison to the peer leadership Cadet Patrick

will require to prepare the new leaders for the Air Force and

to give direction to his sister, Emily, who is beginning her

sophomore year at U of M and is also in ROTC Air Force

Detachment 390. It needs to be noted that Emily is on the

record reminding Tyler that, Youre not the boss of me,

except for those times when he really is.

Cadet Patrick is responsible for more than just training. He

is also in charge of creating and managing the budget, over-

seeing major events, consulting with commissioned officers

every week, balancing the cadets ROTC workload to insure

academic success, and more.Cadet Patrick was chosen for the positions of Cadet Wing

Commander because he has demonstrated through his

maturity, hard work and dedication that h e is not only ready

for the challenge, but that he can successfully lead his peers.

Tyler is starting his senior year at U of M studying Civil

Engineering and is currently working in an internship with

MDOT this summer.

will be held in the ROTH Performance Shell

Wyatt and Shari Knapp played music and

sang together for many years in various

numerous venues including festivals, con-

certs, fund-raisers, volunteer dinners, RV

events, coffee shops, private parties and

more.

Both Wyatt and Shari sing lead a nd har-

mony with exceptional vocal acuity. They

are known for their tight, rich harmonies

and great blend. Shari's solid rhythm guitar

work provides a pleasing foundation forWyatt's fingerstyle and flatpicking guitar

leads. The two are also skillful arrangers

who bring a fresh approach to their rework-

ings of traditional, country, classic rock,

gospel and pop standards. Their chemistry

and connection, in addition to their solid

musicianship, makes for a fun and enter-

taining experience and as a result they are

well received by their audiences.

Wyatt & Shari are pleased to have been

chosen by The Michigan Humanities

Council and the Michigan Council for Arts

and Cultural Affairs to be listed in the pres-

tigious Michigan Arts and Humanities

By Deb Hagen-Foley

You may have attended a graduation ceremony this month

or know one of the hundreds of thousands of persons who

graduated from high school or college this year. The com-

mencement recognizes the completion of a formal course of

study. Learning is more than the collection of credits

towards a degree. Learning should happen for all of us,

every day.

Why should you never stop learning? First, you will gain a

sense of personal satisfaction from learning new things,

whether it is how to play golf or plant a garden. Learning

new things means your brain is working in new and different

ways. Learning is entertaining - it keeps you from being

bored. Learning keeps you mentally healthy.

The phrase, "What you don't use, you lose" applies h ere.

Researchers have shown that we can best protect our mental

abilities by using them. Older persons who continue learn-

ing and are mentally active are less likely to develop

Alzheimer's disease. If you are learning a new activity or

how to cook healthy, learning can improve your physical

health also. When is the last time you learned something

new?

Here are some tips to develop and maintain a habit of life-

long learning.

Keep a list. What have you always wanted to learn? How

to play guitar? How to speak Spanish? How to cook? Make a

list. Ballroom dancing? What are you motivated to start

learning today? If not today, keep the list and review it regu-

larly. Look for opportunities to start one of the items on your

list. Are you afraid to start because you don't think you will

succeed? Fear is the biggest reason people don't try some-

thing new. Remember, the goal is learning - not perfection.

Read a book. Read any good books lately? Always have a

book (or more) that you are reading. Even if you can only

find a few minutes to read each day, you will be learning

something every day. Take it with you for times spent stand-

ing in line or waiting for an event to start. It doesn't matter

how long it takes you to finish the book - again, the goal is

continual learning.

Share what you know. Find opportunities to teach others.

Teaching others is a great way to learn. Be a tutor or a men-

tor. Write a blog - or Facebook notes. Share your ideas with

a friend. Be open to new ideas in the process and you have

extra opportunities to learn.

Find or Make time to learn. Do you commute to work?

Take a daily walk? Look for audio books available through

your local library or bookstore. Some bookstores will rent

audio books or let you trade those you have finished toward

new audio books. Don't have obvious spots in your day

when you can add a learning opportunity? Set aside 15 min-

utes a day for learning. Find time, maybe first thing in the

morning, to learn something new. With the wealth of infor-

mation available through the search-engine or library of

your choice, it is easy to find new things to learn.

Take a class. Community education classes are available

through community colleges and other community organi-

zations. At the M-TEC in Gaylord, topics range from cooking

to computer classes and even dog obedience classes.

General interest courses cost as little as $15. College and

universities offer discounted tuition rates for persons over

age 60. The University of Michigan Health System Program

for Positive Aging summarizes the education discounts avail-

able to older adults at: www.programforpostitiveaging.org.

Many online course options are available also, including

numerous free courses.

I am currently taking a course through the University of

California - Berkeley titled: Edible Education: The Rise and

Future of the Food Movement. The course is co-taught by

Michael Pollan, author of Food Rules and Cooked. This

course and other free courses are available through opencul-

ture.com. I have a terminal degree (Ph.D.) but there's so

much more I want to learn!

What about you? What would you like to learn? When are

you going to start? Why not today? The first step - making

the choice - is the most difficult. Start now - you have noth-

ing to lose except time and so much knowledge to gain!

CHEBOYGAN - The shawl which was draped around the

shoulders of Mary Todd Lincoln the night her husband

President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated 148 years ago

will be on special exhibit at The Cheboygan County History

Center during the first week

of July. The President and

Mrs. Lincoln were sitting

together while watching a

play at Fords Theatre in

Washington on April 14,

1865 when John Wilkes

Booth shot the president.

Lincoln died the next morn-

ing.

The simple fringed shawl is black and is about 45 inches

square. Blood stains are still clearly visible on the shawl.

Both the President and Mrs. Lincoln wore shawls that night.

The Presidents shawl is at The Henry Ford museum in

Dearborn.

Mrs. Lincoln moved from the White House just over a

month after her husband was murdered. In packing, Mrs.

Lincoln gave away everything intimately connected with the

President, as she said she could not bear to be reminded of

the past. The articles were given to those who were regarded

as the warmest of Mr. Lincolns admirers. said Elizabeth

Keckley in her book Behind the Scenes in the Lincoln White

House: Memoirs of an African-American Seamstress. Mary

Todd Lincoln gave her shawl to Anne Weddle who helped her

move from the White House following the assassination.

The shawl has remained in Anne Weddles family ever

since. Today it is in the custody of Eugene Seeley and Donna

Niedermeier of Indian River and Cheboygan. Citizens

National Bank of Cheboygan provides free storage for the

shawl.

The special exhibit hours are July 5 and 6 from Noon to 5

P.M. and from 6 to 8 P.M. and on July 7 from Noon to 4 P.M.

Admission to this special exhibit is $5.00 per person. The

Cheboygan County History Center is located at 427 Court St

in Cheboygan.

Jamie Moore recently returned to Antrim County to help

care for her parents. It was fate or kismet she would also find

employment in her chosen field working with the Womens

Resource Center of Northern Michigan ( WRCNM) from the

non-profit agencys Mancelona satellite office. Moore

describes it simply as, Everything fell into place.

Seeing women regain the strength and confidence to

make their own decisions and take back their lives, is what

Moore says she likes best about her position with the

Womens Center. Moore works with survivors of domestic

abuse as a counselor/advocate providing services such as

safety planning and helping survivors navigate the systemincluding medical, legal, financial and housing advocacy.

Moore started out with a degree from Lake Superior State

University in political science and pu blic administration with

a focus on non-profit management. After a year-long stint

with AmeriCorps working with domestic violence survivors

at a shelter in Montana, she decided what she really wanted

to do is to help survivors.

My AmeriCorps experience really prepped me and made

it real for me, Moore said. I found I didnt want paperwork,

I want to work with people. Moore believes returning to the

place where she grew up and being part of the town is help-

ful in enabling her to p rovide resources for those in Antrim

County.

Moore works at the WRCNMs satellite office at 205 Grove

Street in Mancelona, as well as from the agencys domestic

abuse Safe Home in Petoskey. For more information on

WRCNM programs and services, contact the Mancelona

office at (231) 587-8891, or call the agencys 24-hour crisis

and information line at (231) 347-0082 or (800) 275-1995.
