Every spring, each high schools
graduating class departs, finalizing
their transformation from adoles-
cence to adulthood - their hard work
and dedication has finally paid off.
As is true in all practices, there are
individuals who excel above and
beyond all others.
The Weekly Choice recognizes and
honors the select few earning the
title of class valedictorian, salutato-
rian, or senior scholar. In earning
such a title, it is evident that an indi-
vidual has not only been committed
to their studies, but has been pas-
sionate in their pursuit of a more
fulfilling experience in this life.
We applaud each and every gradu-
ating student, and wish him or her
the best in their future endeavors.
Please Note: This is part one of a
two-part article. If your school is not
included in this article, look for it in
next weeks edition of The Weekly
Choice.

19th Annual
Relay For Life at
Otsego County
Fairgrounds this
weekend
By Jim Akans
There is a tasty new store in downtown
Gaylord. Piece of Cake, owned and operat-
ed by baker extraordinaire Nikki Fiel, will
officially open for business this Saturday,
June 1st, offering fun, fresh and flavorful
cakes for any occasion. Whether a wed-
ding, graduation, birthday, anniversaryany
type of celebration or simply just for the fab-
ulous taste of it - cakes and cupcakes from
Piece of Cake are incredibly delicious, festive
in presentation, and made with the utmost
of care.
Nikki Fiel states, All of our cakes are made
fresh using natural ingredients, they are
never frozen. We are also very creative with
our cake designs, and I love making new fla-
vors for my customers to try. We create spe-
cial order cakes for any occasion, and if the
customer has something in mind for the
design they can bring in a picture or email
their design ideas. I enjoy creating with
frostingits a bit like sculpturing. We can
even make the cake itself into a unique
shape.
For the past seven years, Fiel has been
running her business from her home. She
made her first wedding cake for a friend and
the word soon spread about Nikkis baking
expertise. The business grew beyond what
she could handle from her home. Now she is
excited have customers come by and check
out her new downtown Gaylord location.
Like the products Piece of Cake offers, the
shop is tastefully and creatively designed.
In addition to offering a range of cupcake
flavors, Fiel states, including Reeses Cup,
Cherry Chip, Chocolate Carmel, Oreo and
more, we also offer bridal accessories, such
as cake cutters and cake toppers, and birth-
day party supplies such as candles and chil-
drens party favors. We also have a daily
selection of special occasion cakes avail-
able.
So do your sweet tooth a favor and stop by
Piece of Cake at 102 West
Main Street in downtown
Gaylord for a scrumptious
treat. The shop is open from
10 am to 4 pm Monday thru
Saturday, and Sunday from
10 am to 2 pm. For informa-
tion call 989-390- 3974 or
visit www.pieceofcake.name

for me and I wouldnt change a thing about
it. I made lifelong friends that will be there
for me when I need them. No matter what
life brings you, fight through to the finish
and believe in yourself. If you dont then
who will? I was once told no matter what
the outcome of the fight, win or lose, if you
have no regrets then you are already a win-
ner. I believe the same applies to life. If you
work your hardest and have no regrets, you
can accomplish anything you want in life.
Do your best and get what you want out of
your life. Good luck to everyone and I will
miss you all.

The 2013 Otsego County Relay For Life
event will take place this coming Saturday
and Sunday, June 1st and 2nd, at the Otsego
County Fairgrounds. This is the 19th year this
event has taken place, and as of press time,
30 teams comprised of approximately 153
participants are scheduled to start walking at
the Otsego Fairgrounds on Saturday morning
after an Opening Ceremony at 10 am, contin-
ue through the night, and finish on Sunday
morning when a Remembering Ceremony
will be held.
The Relay For Life is held overnight as indi-
viduals and teams camp out at the Otsego
County Fairgrounds, with the goal of keeping
at least one team member on the track at all
times to signify that cancer never sleeps.
Teams do most of their fundraising prior to
the event, but some teams also hold creative
fundraisers at their campsites during the
Relay.
The Opening Ceremony at 10 am on
Saturday starts the event with an energetic
celebration of the lives of those who have
battled with cancer, inspiring others by shar-
ing their recent accomplishments and strides,
while reminding all that fighting cancer is a
year-round priority. The first lap in the relay
will be the Survivors Lap, where all cancer
survivors in attendance will take to the track
cheered on by the other participants in cele-
bration of their victories over the disease. A
Caregivers Lap will also take place, which
includes anyone who has cared for or is car-
ing for someone with cancer.
A Fight Back Ceremony will be held at 1
pm; an affirmation of the commitment par-
ticipants make in battling cancer each day of
the year. The Luminaria Ceremony at Relay
takes place at dusk, which is around 9 pm,
honoring the communitys cancer survivors
and remembering those lost to the disease.
Participants will circle a track that is sur-
rounded with glowing luminaria that bears
the name of someone who has battled can-
cer.
Relay for Life events across the country
help to raise awareness of the ongoing battle
against cancer, a disease that according to the
American Cancer Society will bring an esti-
mated 1,660,290 new cases diagnosed this
year alone, with over 580,000 Americans pro-
jected to pass away from cancer in 2013 or
nearly 1,600 people a day. To become
involved with a Relay For Life event, call 1-
800-227-2345 or visit www.relayforlife.org.

have a wide variety of reasonably priced
name-brand clothing and accessories, often

The selections at Venus & Blue Jeans also
include a wonderful collection of accessories

a wide selection of home furnishings, jewelry

The museum will be open from 11 am
until 6 pm on Friday, and from 11 to 1
pm broom maker Ron Lindgren will
demonstrate his craft, assembling
brooms the old fashioned wayby
hand! Also from 11 am to 1pm, get
ready to learn about the art of soap-
making as Marilyn Kaczanowski will
demonstrate making your own soap, a
highly economical and fun hobby to
have at your disposal. Mike Reling from
Eagle 101.5 radio will also broadcast a
live remote from the museum during
this late morning early afternoon peri-
od.
During the afternoon, there will be
knitting and spinning demonstrations,
wood carving by Wendell Smith and the
very talented Maple Sugar Band will be
at the museum, serving up some old
time live music between 2 and 5 pm
that will surely get your toes and fingers
tapping. Throughout the day there will
be a bake sale at the museum, with lots
of cookies, pies and other fabulous
goodies all specially prepared by mem-
bers of the Otsego County Historical
Society board members.
To commemorate the Otsego County
Historical Societys 50th anniversary
year, board members and volunteers
have been hard at work revitalizing the
downtown museum over the past two
winters. For those who have never visit-
ed the museum, or have not stopped by
recently, this is an excellent time to see
the results of those renovation efforts.
Among the highlights is the restoration
of the original hardwood floor in the
front of the museum, new carpet in the
back thanks to a Great Lakes People
Fund grant, and all new displays
throughout the museum including a
nostalgic Chatter Box restaurant exhibit
complete with vintage jukebox.
Please join the fun and celebration of
Otsego County Historical Week at the
downtown Gaylord museum event next
Friday, May 31st. The museum hours
for the summer are Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday, Friday and Saturdays from 11
am to 5 pm.

All kids are terrific and here at South Maple Elementary we are acknowledging kids for good character. The Kiwanis club of Otsego County is helping us with this endeavor.
Students who exhibit good behavior by following our school rules will be recognized by staff for doing so. One student per class will be selected to receive a Terrific Kid award,
button, and pencil. The student names will be announced on our morning announcements. They will also have their picture taken to hang on our Terrific Kid bulletin board.
This is an excellent opportunity for staff, students, parents and the community to
connect on a social/emotional level because good character is just as important as good grades!

This month, the Dow Jones Industrial
Average hit a milestone, when, for the
first time, it closed above 15,000. Of
course, 15,000 is a nice, round number,
and it sounds pretty big but what
does it mean to you, as an individual
investor? Is it cause for celebration or
is it more of a caution flag?
Theres no one simple answer to these
questions. Since March 2009 the low
point of the market following the 2008
financial crisis the Dow has risen
about 130 percent. And while the Dow is
just one index, its nonetheless an
important measure of the markets per-
formance which means that you were
likely glad to see the 15,000 mark
eclipsed and youd be happy if the num-
bers just kept rising.
However, as youre no doubt aware,
the market does not move in just one
direction. Typically, declines of 10% or
more or corrections occur about
once a year. Unfortunately, they're not
predictable. Sooner or later, the mar-
kets will indeed change course, at least
for the short term. When this happens,
dont panic corrections are a normal
part of the market cycle. Still, you might
feel like you should do something to
cope with the downturn. But what?
Here are a few suggestions:
Keep investing Too many people,
when faced with a market drop, decide
to cut their losses and take a time
out from investing. But that can be a
costly mistake had these investors
bailed out of the market in 2009, and
only recently returned, they would have
missed a substantial part of that 130
percent run-up in the Dow. And when
you invest in a down market, your dol-
lars may actually
go farther if the
market rebounds,
because you
would have
bought more
shares at the lower
prices.
Review your
portfolio Its
usually a good
idea to review
your portfolio at
least once a year,
and it may be
especially impor-
tant during those
times when the
market changes
directions. Over
time, a portfolio
can become
unbalanced for
example, follow-
ing a long period
of rising prices,
some of your
growth-oriented
investments may
have gained so
much value that
they now take up a larger percentage of
your holdings than you had intended,
possibly subjecting you to a greater level
of risk than you desire. If this happens,
you may need to scale back on these
investments and reallocate the money
elsewhere.
Diversify Always look for ways to
spread your dollars among a range of
vehicles stocks, bonds, government
securities, certificates of deposit (CDs)
and other investments. Even within
these classes, look for ways to diversify
further, such as owning different types
of stocks, bonds of varying maturities,
and so on. Diversification cant guaran-
tee a profit or protect against a loss, but
it can help reduce the impact of volatili-
ty that can occur in a downturn.
The Dow at 15,000 is certainly no
minor event. And since stocks don't
appear too expensive compared to their
earnings, don't be surprised if higher
milestones follow. But record highs can
be quickly forgotten when the market
falls. By being prepared for that day, too,
you can help yourself continue to work
toward your goals even when the
major market indices have, for the
moment, taken a wrong turn.

Grab a camera and visit some of the great
local farms, farmers markets and dining
tables this summer! Petoskey-Harbor
Springs Area Community Foundation,
Crooked Tree Arts Center, and Institute for
Sustainable Living Art and Natural Design
(ISLAND) announce a call for artists for the
second annual juried photo contest and
exhibition, Farm to Frame: Good Food, Good
Neighbors.
Encouraging greater awareness of the ben-
efits of local farming and locally-grown food
here in northern Michigan, this years Farm
to Frame exhibit will showcase the beauty of
small farms, farmers and local foods through
three different categories of entry: (1) local
food production (from the farm), local
food sales (from the markets), and local
food preparation and presentation (from
the table). All photographs must have been
taken in Emmet or Charlevoix counties and
must not have been previously exhibited at
Crooked Tree Arts Center. Jury selected pho-
tographs will hang in an exhibition at
Crooked Tree Arts Centers Atrium Gallery
and will travel to several other venues
around Charlevoix and Emmett counties.
Winners will be announced and prizes
awarded at the opening reception, October
22, 2013, during Local Food and Farm week.
Photographs can highlight any portion of
the growing cycle, including the places and
people the food comes from. Last years
exhibit was a mouth-watering reflection of
local foods. This year, we are hoping pho-
tographers will capture the essence of where
and how our food comes to us. Including
the land, the buildings, and the people that

Right after the last bell of
the school year, Gaylord stu-
dents and their families are
invited to attend a celebra-
tion under the Pavilion in
downtown Gaylord. The
party will take place Friday,
June 7th right after school
from noon to 3:30pm. Based
on previous years events,
everyone should be prepared
to have a great time.
A number of local busi-
nesses are getting involved
to make sure the fundraising
event will be successful. Jets
Pizza, ice cream from the
Alpine Chocolate Haus (ice
cream), beverages from
WalMart and Glens, and
cookies from Bob Evans will
be available. Walgreens will
have child fingerprinting and entertainment will include face
painting, temporary tattoos, sand art, and other fun crafts.
Id like to remind all students that this is a family event
and we expect them to behave themselves accordingly. stat-
ed organizer DJ Puroll Our older students should have fun
but also serve as role models to younger students and the
community.
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, this event is a
great, inexpensive way for families to celebrate the beginning
of the summer vacation said fellow organizer Mike
Freymuth. He estimates last year over 2,000 pieces of pizza
and 2,500 ice creams/snow cones were served. Its amazing
to see downtown Gaylord filled with so many families having
a great time. We hope even more families can join us this
year.
The End of School Celebration will raise funds for
Gaylord Community Productions summer musical Annie
Get Your Gun, August 1, 2, 3 and 4th at the Gaylord High
School Gornick Auditorium. If you would like to volunteer
to help at the End of School Celebration contact the
Volunteer Center of Otsego
County at 705-8584.

Located just far enough off the
beaten path to embrace a gorgeous,
peaceful wooded setting, yet only
about ten minutes from downtown
Gaylord, Michaywe Inn the Woods
restaurant provides the perfect spot
to enjoy a delicious dining experi-
ence that is both comfortably casual,
and memorably elegant.
The menu offers a moderately
priced and nicely varied selection of
traditional American cuisine, high-
lighted by freshly prepared soups
and salads, specialty sandwiches
and burgers, house favorites includ-
ing New York Strip steak, hearty Beef
Pot Roast, Danish Baby Back Ribs,
Lake Superior Whitefish, Sole Picatta
and more. The restaurant also offers
lighter fare, including Homemade
Pizzas and a selection of tasty appe-
tizers such as Scallop Florentine,
Garlic Shrimp Bruschetta and
Boneless Buffalo Wings.
Chef John Kaye, who learned his
culinary craft at Oakland
Community College and appren-
ticed at the prestigious Orchard Lake
Country Club, oversees the kitchen
at Michaywe Inn the Woods, and
has accumulated over 25 years of
experience as a chef in leading
northern Michigan area resorts and
downstate country clubs.
He states, We take a food-first
approach here at Michaywe Inn the
Woods. Flavors, textures, seasonings
and freshness are our priorities. We
purchase as many of our ingredients
locally as possible, and we even have
our own herb garden right here on
the grounds. We believe that the lit-
tle details make the difference for
our guests.
The Michaywe Inn the Woods set-
ting is simply superb, with a wall of
windows along two sides of the main
dining area beautifully capturing the
views of the surrounding wood-
lands, the graceful walking bridge
arching over Lake Michaywe, and
the open fairways of the Pines Golf
Course.
Outside dining is available, as are
two large banquet rooms; the
Terrace Room, which accesses a
huge outdoor deck overlooking the
lake, and the Bridgeview, room with
a vista that frames the walking
bridge across the lake. Each of the
large facilities are utilized regularly
for wedding receptions, rehearsal
dinners and business or organiza-
tional meetings and gatherings.
Michaywe Inn the Woods also fea-
tures a separate cocktail lounge area
with a full selection of wines, beers
and spirits and flat screen televi-
sions strategically placed for optimal
guest viewing.
Michaywe Inn the Woods is open
year round with the exception of a
two-week period in early April for
spring-cleaning. Summer hours of
operation are Monday through
Thursday, 4 pm until 9 pm, Friday 4
pm until 10 pm, Saturday noon until
10 pm, and Sunday from noon until
9 pm.
We offer monthly menu specials
throughout the summer season,
notes Jeff Schneider, Food &
Beverage Director, who has over 22
years of experience in the restaurant
industry. We also offer half-orders
on most of our menu selections for
those who prefer downsized por-
tions.
Michaywe Inn the Woods offers a
truly unique dining experience in a
beautiful northern Michigan set-
ting, Schneider adds. We firmly
believe that after visiting us the first
time, guests will return again and
again.

tact Michaywe Inn the Woods at

Choosing a locally owned store
generates almost four times as
much economic benefit for the
surrounding region as shopping at
a chain, a new study has 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 and
seven 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 52
percent of their revenue to the
local economy, compared with just
14 percent for the chain retailers.
Similarly, the local restaurants re-
circulate an average of 79 percent
of their revenue locally, compared
to 30 percent for the chain eateries.
What accounts for the difference?
Independent businesses spend
much more on local labor. They
also procure more goods for resale
locally and rely much more heavily
on local providers 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.

The only way to end poverty is to build community
Underneath everything we are, underneath everything we do, we are all people.
Connected, Interdependent, United.
And when we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all.
That's what it means to LIVE UNITED.
By: Mark Grantner
June already! It seems like winter just left
yesterday time does fly as you get older. I
hope everyone is getting out and enjoying
the warm weather. Here are some things I
know will be going on in June:
Monday 6/10 at 9:00a.m. the monthly
Board meeting of the Council will take place
at the Senior Center. As always anyone with
an interest is welcome to attend. Sunday
6/16, Happy Fathers Day! I hope all the
Dads out there have a great day go out to
eat or go fishing! On Tues 6/18 the
Commodity Supplemental Food Program
(CSFP) will take place at the Center from 10-
11:00a.m.If you havent signed up for this
program you may do so on this day. Also, if
you cant make it that day please have a
friend or relative get your box for you we
dont have a lot of space to hold them. On
Thurs 6/20 The Together We Can Food
Pantry will hold its distribution at the
Fairgrounds starting at 9:00a.m. I would like
to thank the Together We Can Food pantry
for the donation of snacks for our Home
Delivered Meal program. It really helps out.
Fri 6/21 the official first day of summer get
out and enjoy the warm weather have
some fun! Thurs 6/27 at 1p.m. The
Alzheimers support group meets at 1p.m.
Meeting are about 1 hour and anyone who is
a caregiver of someone with dementia is wel-
come to attend. Also for those who are car-
ing for someone - would you like a brief
break? Maybe one of our workers can sit
with your loved one whole you get some per-
sonal time for yourself. To maintain ones
health and sanity this is a good idea. You
can call Mandy at 826-3025 and see if we can
help.
This is the time of year when fresh fruits
and vegetables are popping up. When youre
tired of heavy foods, its refreshing to turn
to lighter fare and green salads are a perfect
choice. Since lettuce is the primary ingredi-
ent in a green salad, its key to creating a
nutritious side dish or entre. As a food
group, lettuce is a good source of thiamin,
vitamin B6, iron, potassium, vitamin K,
folate, beta carotene, vitamin C, manganese
and fiber. Lettuce also is low in sodium and
calories, and it contains no cholesterol and
just a trace of fat.
Different types of lettuce vary in their
nutrition content somewhat but theres no
such thing as unhealthy lettuce. Adding
any type of lettuce to your meal will provide
you with a low-calorie serving of vitamins
and minerals. Iceberg lettuce is a favorite for
some because of texture and taste, but in
terms of nutrient content, the darker the
leaves the better. Overall, romaine is much
more nutrient dense than iceberg and pro-
vides the crunch most people enjoy in their
salad. Other lettuce varieties that pack
nutrient value are the red and green leaf let-
tuces. These brightly hued greens are high
in vitamin A vitamin K, niacin, riboflavin and
beta carotene. Butterhead, another variety
that includes Boston and Bibb lettuce, is also
high in niacin and iron.
If iceberg lettuce has been your salad sta-
ple for many years, mix it up. Variety is the
key as with any meal plan. Each lettuce pro-
vides something the other has less of, so try
different varieties to balance
the nutritional profile as
well as for taste, texture and
satisfaction. Spring mix (also
called mesclun) is a popular
item in grocery stores.
Different brands contain dif-
ferent varieties of greens,
along with the basic type of
lettuce you may see radic-
chio, frisse, arugula, spinach,
mizuna, bllo rossa, and oth-
ers listed in the ingredients.
Chose a mix that has plenty
of vibrant color and avoid
any that contain off-colored,
wilted or slimy contents.
While you may find
spinach in bags of mixed
greens, spinach is not a
member of the lettuce fami-
ly. Instead, spinach is very
high in iron and fiber.
Spinach also has very high
vitamin K content one cup
of uncooked spinach con-
tains about 145 micrograms
of vitamin K content, com-
pared to between 13 and 70
micrograms of vitamin K in
one cup of lettuce. If you are
taking warfarin (Coumadin)
its important to keep your
intake of vitamins K consen-
tient, since large amounts of
Vitamin K can reduce the
effectiveness of warfarin.
To protect yourself from
food borne illness, wash
fresh greens thoroughly in
plenty of clean water. To dry
out the lettuce try a salad
spinner. Refrigerating all let-
tuce and greens as soon as
you get home helps to
reduce growth of potentially
harmful bacteria and viruses.
This includes pre washed let-
tuce. Enjoy your greens!
Grandparents if you are
in the situation where you
are the responsible party for
your grandchildren this may
interest you. I still have
some grant funds left -
would you like to treat them
to camp this summer, maybe
give yourself a break? Do
you need a mattress/bed for
them? Maybe we can help.
If you are interested please
give me a call: 826-3025
If you know someone
turning 80 or more you can
have them receive a person-
alized Birthday greeting from
our President. Just follow
these instructions: 1)
Requirements must be a
US citizen. 2) Requests for
Birthday cards must be for
someone turning 80 or older.
The Birthday request should
be made at least 6 weeks
before their birthday. Note:
the Obama White House
greeting office has been
swamped with requests for
Presidential greetings, due to
the historic value of the
administration. The request
may take several months to
receive. 3) Provide the infor-
mation that is needed to
receive the birthday greeting.
Name of honoree, Address of
honoree, (Mr, Mrs, Ms, Miss)
, Date (Month, Day, Year) of
Birth, requestors name and
daytime phone number. 4)
Mail you request to: The
White House Attn: Greetings
Office Washington D.C.
20502-0039. 5) Watch your
mail boxes. The White house
will send out your Birthday
greeting about 2 weeks
before our birthday. 6)
Select a nice frame for your
official greeting and display
it proudly. Be sure to send
your requests 6 weeks or
more before the date of the
Birthday. See you in July!
Mark Grantner is the
Director of the Oscoda
County Council on Aging. If

250th Anniversary of the
Attack on Fort Michilimackinac
Girl Scout Daisy Troop 4226 and guests planted a tree at
Energy Outlet on Thursday, May 16th as the culminating
activity of preserving a national treasure in the Between
Earth and Sky journey patch.
Bill Michaels, director of the Otsego County Sportsplex,
picked a spot for the fifteen-foot Red Maple tree donated by
Cheryl Horsell from Flowermania. Marcy Beauchane of Total
Lawn Care stopped by to instruct and assist the children in
tree planting and care. A ceremony was held as each child
threw a handful of soil into the hole due to plant the tree.
The Daisy Troop and guests present at the tree planting
made a pledge to care for the tree, which is named The Tree
of Hope.

The concepts of gratitude and thankful-
ness are encouraged every day with children
enrolled in Project FREE preschool and the
Childrens Learning Center (CLC) in
Petoskey; both are programs of the Womens
Resource Center of Northern Michigan.
Recently, Project FREE preschool students
practiced gratitude during a Mothers Day
program that included songs, stories and a
variety of activities to honor their mothers.
The students shared in three activities with
their mothers including an art project, creat-
ing a graham cracker treat and planting a
flower in painted terracotta pots created by
each student. Afterwards, mothers were
invited to spend additional time with their
children outside on the playground.
We encourage students to be thankful for
everything from a kind gesture by a class-
mate to the rain that helps our gardens grow;
so its important to extend this concept of
gratitude to key people in our lives, such as
our Mothers, said Shelley Troup, Project
FREEs Lead Teacher.
The CLC and Project Free are located in
the same building on Porter Street in
Petoskey, also home to the Womens
Resource Centers administrative and coun-
seling offices. The teachers in both pro-
grams share a common philosophy on prac-
ticing gratitude and feel their intentional
teaching strategies are paying off.
We encourage the children to be mindful
of important events and people in their lives
and to show gratitude and appreciation on a
daily basis, said Megan Green, CLC Lead
Teacher. Green and other teachers knew
they had made an impact when the children
suggested, on their own, to write a large
thank you note to volunteers they saw pro-
viding spring clean up on their playground.
It was just heart-warming to see the chil-
dren wanting to express their appreciation in
this way, said Green.
Project FREE preschool is offered half
days, Monday through Thursday, from
October through May and is free to those
meeting certain state qualifying criteria. The
Childrens Learning Center is a fully licensed
facility providing quality educational pro-
gramming to children 2 - 11 years. For
more information contact the Womens
Resource Center of Northern Michigan
administrative office at (231) 347-0067 or
visit wrcnm.org.
Mackinac State Historic Parks will commemorate the
anniversary of the attack of Fort Michilimackinac with a spe-
cial evening event beginning at 6:30 p.m. on June 2 at
Colonial Michilimackinac in Mackinaw City.
The most dramatic event in Michilimackinacs history, the
forts capture on June 2, 1763 by Ojibwa warriors, will be
commemorated on the 250th anniversary of the attack.
Refreshments and brief remarks by invited speakers will
reflect on the legacy of the
attack and mark the grand
opening of the reconstructed
South Southwest Rowhouse,
the newest and largest build-
ing at Colonial
Michilimackinac.
Inside the Rowhouse
guests are invited to experi-
ence Attack at
Michilimackinac, an excit-
ing and immersive 15-
minute audiovisual program
discussing the capture of the
fort in 1763. Historic inter-
preters stationed throughout
the fort will provide glimpses
of life at Michilimackinac at
the time of the attack and
historian and author Keith
Widder will also be on hand
for the premier of his new
book, Beyond Pontiacs
Shadow: Michilimackinac
and the Anglo-Indian War of 1763.
Brief remarks will be made by distinguished guests and
refreshments will be provid-
ed from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The public is welcome and

Crooked Tree Arts Center School of Ballet
will be performing The Trumpet of the
Swan on Friday, June 7th at 7:00 pm and
Saturday, June 8th at 1:00 & 7:00 pm at the
Harbor Springs Performing Arts Center.
Dance Instructor, Karrie Benedict and
Director of Dance, Heather Raue decided on
the story of E.B. Whites The Trumpet of the
Swan back in January, and began rehearsals
shortly after. The story is a tale of Louis, a
young swan who is born mute. As the story
unfolds he is presented with a trumpet
stolen by his father, in the hope it will unlock
his silence. In mastering the instrument
Louis finds his unique voice, redemption for
his dear father, and eventually true love.
This will be the fourth original full-length
ballet in which Benedict and Raue have
incorporated the entire School of Ballet, ages
4 to pre-professional. Crooked Tree Arts
Center (CTAC) School of Ballet past ballets
include; Alice in Wonderland (2010), Peter
Pan (2011) and The Wizard of Oz (2012).
There are a total of 160 male and female
dancers in The Trumpet of the Swan that
train at CTAC year-round. They are all chore-
ographed and directed by Benedict and
Raue. Our students have worked very close-
ly with one another mentoring, inspiring and
learning from each other a true communi-
ty. says Raue. This performance is diverse
both choreographically and musically. There
are classical ballet selections, modern dance,
contemporary ballet and jazz.
In particular the principal dancers have
been an integral part of the shows creative
process. Not only have they rehearsed every
weekend since January to become the char-
acters Benedict and Raue are recreating,
they have assisted with the instruction of the
lower level classes, assisted with choreogra-
phy, and helped with costuming and scoring
of music. All of our hard work and hours are
definitely paying off, Taylor Naturkas, a pre-
professional dancer explained. Everyone
needs to come see the show!
CTAC School of Ballet will be accompa-
nied live by local pianist, Charles Millard and
Kalamazoo trumpeter, Michael McMinn.
Musical selections range
from Penguin Caf Orchestra
to Thelonious Monk to Parov
Stelar. Along with all the live
music rehearsals for the
show, thousands of hours
have gone into the hundreds
of costumes and props for
this ballet. All of the props,
sets, and costumes have
been designed and created
by a small group of highly
talented and dedicated arti-
sans. We are so fortunate to
have such amazing people
share their gifts and time
with us, people that are
tremendous supporters of
the program and believe in
the future of our dancers.
says Raue.
Each year Benedict and
Raue approach a different
artist to create an original
piece that will represent the
ballet. This year Petoskey artist, Katie Brines,
created a tremendous multimedia piece that
will be up for silent auction during the per-
formances.
Tickets are $10 adults/$5 students/$20

Char-Em United Way has announced that
Lorraine Manary will be the agencys new
Executive Director. She will direct United
Ways activities in the Charlevoix and Emmet
County region.
We are pleased to have Lorraine on
board, says Steve Andreae, President of
United Ways Board of Directors. She brings
experience and skills in human services and
fundraising, as well as a great knowledge of
our local community. With her leadership,
we will continue to expand United Ways
impact on our communitys health and
human service needs.
Manary is currently Executive Director of
Otsego County United Way. She was previ-
ously the Coordinator for the Char-Em
Human Services Coordinating Body. She has
a Masters degree in Organizational
Management from the Spring Arbor
University
Manary will take the helm in mid June,
replacing
Martha
Lancaster
who has
served as
Executive
Director
since March,
2006.
Lancaster
will retire at
the end of
June and will
be involved
in Manarys
transition.
I am very
excited to join Char-Em United Way, says
Manary. Martha has done a wonderful job
and will leave some big shoes to fill. I know
the Board of Directors is forward-thinking
and supportive, and I am anxious to get
started
meeting
donors and
reconnecting
with the
service com-
munity. The
Dolly Parton
Imagination
Library is
one of those
innovative
activities
that benefit
the whole
community;
it will be a
pleasure supporting it.
On behalf of the Char-Em United Way
board we all wish Martha the very best in her
retirement, continued Andreae. She has
been instrumental in transforming the
organization in terms in both fundraising
capacity and the implementation of internal
programs that have allowed us to provide
expanded services to the community.
Lorraine will build upon these successes.
Char-Em United Way works to meet the
communitys needs for effective Education,
Income and Health programs by providing
funding and other support to many local
health and human service agencies. United
Way also had taken the lead on initiative and
programs such as United We Read and the
Dolly Parton Imagination Library, 2-1-1, and
Volunteer Connections.
United Way donors, funded partners and
other supporters are invited to meet Manary
at United Ways Celebration Breakfast on
June 20. Details are available at www.chare-
munitedway.org, www.facebook.com/chare-
munitedway, 231-487-1006 or info@chare-
munitedway.org.
Petoskey area preschoolers and their par-
ents will have the opportunity to participate
in their own version of the 2013 Summer
Library Program, at the Petoskey District
Library (PDL). The Sign-up Period is from
now to Saturday, June 8 in the Children's
Room of the library during regular library
hours.
This summer's program will loosely tie in
the statewide theme of Dig Into Reading. All
participants will receive a reading
record/program pamphlet, Earl Literacy
Activities pamphlet, bookmark and sticker
when they sign up. Everyone who records 5
books will receive a participation certificate.
When 20 books have been shared, a special
sticker will be added to the certificate and
the preschoolers who achieve this goal will
receive a book bag with some small surprises
inside.
In addition, children and parents who
reach the program goal of recording 32
books and 8 early literacy activities will
receive a second prize bag and a completion
certificate. Books and activities may be
recorded until July 31. Families must have a
valid PDL card to participate in this part of
the program.
Area businesses or groups interested in
donating prizes for the program may call
Ron Fowler at the library (231-758-3123).
The programming will be centered around
the librarys regular Babies and Books,
Parent/Child Lap Sits for children under
three years old, a Preschool Story Hour for
three through five year olds and the
Saturdays Child Story Time for three
through seven year-olds. The Parent/Child
Lap Sit programs will occur every Monday
and Thursday at 10:30 a.m., the Preschool
Story Hours are every Thursday, 1:00p.m.
and the Saturdays Child Story Time begins
at 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays. All of these pro-
grams will begin the week of June 10 and run
through July 25 in the Program Room at the
library.
PDL will offer two sessions of its The
Books and Babies class is for non-walkers: a
late spring session and a summer session.
Both will meet on Wednesday mornings
from 10:30-11:30 a.m. in the basement class-
room. Each class is limited to 10 babies and
a parent or care giver on any given day. The
spring group will meet on May 29, June 5, 12,
& 19 and the summer group will meet on
July 17, 24, 31 and August 7 & 14.
Registration is appreciated but not neces-
sary. Please do so at the Youth Services desk
in the library or by calling 232-758-3112. Late
registrations will be accepted and drop-ins
will be admitted provided the class is not
full.
Calendars for the Early Childhood pro-
gram are available in the Childrens Room at
the library and on-line, www.petoskeyli-
brary.org, click Youth Services, then the
Preschool button.
More mature Three to five year olds will
also enjoy Genot Picor, the Acting Up
Theatre Company, the Zeemo programs
and some of the movies that are scheduled
for the Elementary Program. A Buy One Get
One Free Book Fair" is also scheduled to be
held July 26th through August 4th. A calen-
dar for these events will be available soon in
Childrens Room and on the childrens pages
and the events calendar at the librarys web-
site.
"The Early Literacy program is for children
who have not attended kindergarten yet,"
said Ron Fowler, PDLs Youth Services
Librarian, "they will need help from their
parents or another important big person.
Well provide handouts that provide lots of
suggestions for building early literacy skills
at each developmental level. I do want to
make it clear that older nonreaders may still
be read to as part of the elementary-age pro-
gram that will begin on Monday, June 3rd.
All activities are free to children who have
signed up for the program (a valid PDL card
is required). The Baby classes, Parent/Child
LapSits and story times are free to the public,
though the library does request a donation
from those people who do not have a PDL
card. Youth Services Staff require that a par-
ent or some other responsible adult be pres-
ent at all activities in order to assist their
children.
Complete information about the program
may be obtained during the Sign-up Period
at the library (children may sign up at any
time during the program, but it is helpful to
the planning process if as many as possible
sign up during that time frame).
Sign-up for the elementary and Young
Adult programs will begin on Monday, June
3rd; more information about these programs
will be forthcoming. Questions about library
hours and programs may be answered by
phoning youth services staff at the library at
758-3112 or by visiting the web site at
www.petoskeylibrary.org.
The Zonta Club of
Petoskey has selected a Safe
Home bedroom to improve
through their Adopt-A-Room
project which has been
ongoing for more than 30
years. The Safe Home is
operated by the Womens
Resource Center of Northern
Michigan (WRCNM) and
serves domestic abuse sur-
vivors and their children in
Antrim, Charlevoix,
Cheboygan, Emmet and
Otsego counties.
This year, eleven Zonta
Club members participated
in repainting the bedroom.
Club members also pur-
chased all new bedding and
bath towels, made window
valances and a seat cushion
cover, covered the cost of
repainting the dresser in that
room and paid for the labor
to re-carpet the room.
Contractors Supply of
Petoskey donated the carpet
for the project and Complete
Paint and Supplies of
Petoskey and Harbor Springs
donated the paint and paint-
ing accessories.
The cost to maintain a
residence like the Safe Home
is substantial and continu-
ous; it is such a gift that
Zonta members adopt a
room in the house to beauti-
fy along with the support of
local businesses, said Chris
Krajewski, the WRCNM
Domestic Abuse and Sexual
Assault Program Director. It
creates a more comfortable
and welcoming space for
those who come to the Safe
Home seeking a secure, sup-
portive and caring residence
when exiting an abusive rela-
tionship in their own home.

Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer.
After the long winter months, we are all eager to get out-
side and enjoy the sunshine. It isn't surprising that May
is skin cancer awareness month. Skin cancer is the
most common form of cancer in the United States. One
in five Americans will develop risk cancer in their life-
times. More than two million Americans develop skin
cancer annually. Knowing your risk of skin cancer and
knowing how to help prevent
Know your risk. Your risk of skin cancer is greatly
influenced by your genetic disposition and your reac-
tion to sun exposure. Take the quiz at the end of this
article to determine your risk. Add your totals for
genetic disposition and reaction to sun exposure to find
your Fitzpatrick Skin Type. The higher your number the
lower your risk.
If your total is 0-6, your skin is type I. A point value of
7-12 represents type II You typically burn following sun
exposure, leaving you at high risk for skin cancers. .
The recommendations for risk reduction are similar for
both types. To reduce your risk, use sunscreen with a
SPF rating of 30 or higher, and stay in the shade when
you are outside. Check your skin monthly, head to toe,
for unusual growths. Have your skin professionally
checked annually.
A point total of 13-16 indicates skin type III. Type IV
is a score between 19 and 24. These types are at slight-
ly reduced risk for skin cancer. The recommendations
for these skin types, that tend to tan more easily and are
less likely to burn is to use a sunscreen with an SPF of
15+ and to seek shade when outside during periods
with the strongest sunlight, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Check your
skin monthly and have a professionally skin check
annually.
Fitzpatrick Skin Type V, 25-30 points, and Type VI, 31
points or higher, tan easily and rarely burn. However, it
is still recommended that darker skin persons use sun-
screen with an SPF of 15+ daily and check their skin
monthly as well as having an annual professional skin
check. Skin of this type is at risk for a very virulent form
of skin cancer, which is often detected in advanced
stages. It is more likely to appear on skin that is not reg-
ularly exposed to the sun, like the bottoms of feet.
What to look for? In general, in your monthly skin
checks look for changes in your skin. The lesions differ
by the type of skin cancer. They might be elevated,
rough feeling and appear as warts. The most common
type of skin cancer, Basal Cell Carcinoma, can present
as an open sore that lasts for a few weeks, heals and
bleeds again. Something as subtle as a reddish, itchy
patch can signal skin cancer. Also, an area that appears
as a scar could represent skin cancer. It is important, if
you notice a change in your skin, to consult your doctor.
Skin cancer that is caught early is very treatable.
Treatment often involves removing the growth. The
sooner the growth is removed, the less the impact on
your skin and your life.

walk, bike, carpool, ride public transit or use
any creative form of 'smart' transportation.
An exciting, energizing and noticeable trans-
formation in transportation takes place in
Traverse City, Charlevoix, Petoskey, Harbor
Springs and beyond. The critical mass and
safety in numbers makes it a perfect opportu-
nity for people to give smart commuting a try.

muters, the week celebrates the communi-
ties year-round smart commuters, and infra-
structure improvements that provide safe,
connected and accessible active transporta-
tion opportunities.
