The time is getting closer

for the Third Annual

Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot

in Gaylord! The friendly, yet

competitive Turkey Trot in

Gaylord has become a big hit

over the last couple years, and

at the third annual Gaylord

Turkey Trot, we expect noth-

ing less.

The first two years, the

Gaylord Turkey Trot at

Gaylord Regional Airport benefitted the

Friendship Housing Center. Due to its

closing earlier this year, the turkey trot

funds will go toward Toys for Tots, a

charity that collects toys and clothing

each year with the mission of bringing

hope and joy to every child at

Christmas.

The turkey trot includes a 5k and

one-mile run/walk at 9 am on

November 28th, Thanksgiving morning.

The course, located at the GaylordRegional Airport, 1100 Aero Drive, starts

on the tarmac and continues around

the perimeter road to the south end of

the airport. Sixteen different age divi-

sion winners will receive a trophy for

fastest time. Race director Jeremy Speer

adds, This was created as a race for

charityits competitive, but fun. We

want to promote a healthy lifestyle and

get people moving. Its a good opportu-

nity to give back while having a good

time.

Matt Barresi, the director of the

Gaylord Airport, is hosting the event for

the third year and looks forward to join-

ing Toys for Tots coordinator Rosie

Warner: We cant do this alone; we wel-

come the partnership and are excited

about being involved in an event that

provides a new and healthy experience

for families. Barresi also coordinates

Wings Over Gaylord, the annual air

show held in June at the airport.

Add on a new holiday tradition foryears to come by spending

Thanksgiving morning being active with

your family. Its a great way to bond with

your loved ones, and an opportunity to

finally beat your siblings at something!

For just $30 per runner, you can get

the satisfaction of helping families in

need, receive a long-sleeve event t-shirt,

and- if youre the fastest in your age

at least 16 subscriptions won a Mackinaw Trolley Company ride and lunch at McDonalds. The winning students were accom-

panied on their outing by Father Joseph Ortega, librarian Joann Luttrell, and student parent Todd Schryer.

GAYLORD - The comic thriller, adapted by

Kent R. Brown and inspired by Sir Arthur

Conan Doyles Novel The Hound of the

Baskervilles, is the basis for this years

Cathedral Players fall production.

When Sir Henry Baskerville seeks the help

of the famous Sherlock Holmes and John

Watson, he finds that they are on holiday.

Never fear for their plucky nieces Shirley

Holmes (Franchesca Beningo) and Jennie

Watson (Giorgi Nowicki) take on the diaboli-

cal case of The Hound of the Baskervilles.

They must navigate the treacherous murky

moor, outwit fiendish villains, and go head

to head with a demented animal to reveal

the truth and save Sir Henry. Match your

wits against the mystery of The Hound of

the Baskervilles.

PETOSKEY - Local publisher and transla-

tor Joshua Snider announces the release of

his first book, An Outline for a Comparative

Grammar of Some Algonquian Languages;

Ojibway, Cree, Micmac, Natick[Massachusett] and Blackfoot. The book is a

translation of a comparative grammar of five

Algonquian Native American languages by C.

C. Uhlenbeck, first published in Dutch in

1910. Mr. Snider, who is fluent in German,

Dutch/Flemish and Swedish, has translated

this book into English for the first time. The

book has been expanded, corrected and

improved in the form of translators notes

based on more recent material.

Mr. Snider worked on the translation and

additions for several years and has recently

published the book through Mundart Press.

Copies of the book can be found at McLean

and Eakin Booksellers, Horizon Books,

Indian Hills Gallery, The Sign of the Loon,

the Petoskey District Library and NorthCentral Michigan College Library.

North Centrals Library will host Snider on

Wednesday, November 20 for a presentation

and book signing. The presentation will

begin at noon and will cover the contents of

the book and some of the benefits and chal-

lenges of incorporating the comparative

method into language learning. The book

signing will be from 1 p.m. until 3:30

p.m. Refreshments will be provided.

Snider is a Petoskey native and grew up in

a multicultural household with his

Mennonite grandparents, parents and

Misanabee Cree half-sister. Over the years,

he has watched his Native American friends

and family, which include Native Americans,

struggle to hold on to their ancestral lan-guages. He has studied second languages

intensively since the age of 14 and the

Germanic languages since the age of 16. He

created the publishing company Mundart

Press to produce language learning materials

for marginalized and endangered languages.

He is currently working on English transla-

tions of works by the Yiddish author Itzik

Kipnis. Snider lives in Petoskey with his wife,

Sarah and son Declan. For more informa-

tion, please email Mr. Snider at mundart-

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 School

fundraiser 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.

November 21, 2013 Tell our adver tisers you saw their ad in the Weekly Choice Page 11


Choosing a locally owned store gen-

erates almost four times as much eco-nomic benefit for the surrounding

region as shopping at a chain, a new

study has concluded. The analysis also

found that eating at a local restaurant

produces more than twice the local

economic impact of dining at a chain

restaurant.

The research firm Civic Economics

analyzed data from fifteen independent

retailers and seven independent restau-

rants, all located in Salt Lake City, and

compared their impact on the local

economy with four chain retail stores

(Barnes & Noble, Home Depot, OfficeMax, and Target) and three national

restaurant chains (Darden, McDonalds,

and P.F. Changs).

The study found that the local retail-

ers 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 print-

ing. 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 Alanson Village Council has adopted a

tobacco-free policy for its four parks.

According to Council clerk Iris Lesh, the new

policy supports the Council's belief that

tobacco use in park areas is detrimental to

the health of everyone using the park sys-

tem.

Our goal is to demonstrate to youth that

tobacco use is not a part of a healthy

lifestyle," Lesh said. "We believe that this

policy can play a part in reducing youth

tobacco use in our community, which will

eventually save lives." She added that par-

ents, officials and other community leaders

can serve as positive role models for youth

by choosing to live tobacco-free.

Susan Pulaski, Community Health

Coordinator for the Health Department of

Northwest Michigan, said she is thrilled to

see Alanson joining the ranks of communi-

ties and park systems that are formalizing

their commitment to healthy, tobacco-free

living for residents.

"By adopting this policy, Alanson is aff irm-

ing that tobacco use and secondhand smoke

don't belong in park areas, where people go

to improve their fitness and enjoy nature,"

Pulaski said. She noted that Alanson's policy

will reinforce the recently-

adopted 24/7 tobacco-free

school policies, and con-

tribute to a tobacco-free

environment throughout the

community.

Pulaski added that theHealth Department is look-

ing forward to helping other

communities and organiza-

tions institute tobacco-free

policies throughout Antrim,

Charlevoix, Emmet and Otsego Counties. For

more information about tobacco-free parksand beaches, contact Pulaski at (231) 347-

5813.

The Health Department of Northwest

Michigan is mandated by the Michigan

Public Health Code to promote wellness,

prevent disease, provide quality healthcare,

address health problems of vulnerable popu-lations, and protect the environment for the

residents and visitors of Antrim, Charlevoix,

Emmet, and Otsego counties. For more

By Deb Hagen-Foley

Each of us p rojects energy or vibrations,

through our thoughts and emotions.

According to The Law of Attraction, thatenergy is the source of who we are, our sense

of well-being, and what we attract in our

lives. "Like attracts like." If your thinking is

negative, you will attract negative events. If

your thinking is positive, if you anticipate

that positive things are going to happen for

you, your vibrations will be positive and you

will attract positive things.

So, how do we shift our thinking to create

what we want instead of dwelling on what

we don't want? First, we need to start to

believe that how we think can make a differ-

ence in our lives. You already know that

thinking negative thoughts doesn't feel good.

Thinking positive, uplifting thoughts feels

better, even if your life situation is not exact-

ly what you want it to be. Your thinking

can get you closer to your goals.

According to the Law of Attraction,

you attract what you believe. There is

probably a constant stream of thoughtsin your mind. They can be negative

thoughts about yourself or your situa-

tion. Negative thoughts will bring about

more negative thoughts and lead to neg-

ative events. What you are thinking

becomes real. Ever notice how some

people just seem to be unlucky? One

bad event follows another in what seems

like a never-ending cycle.

We can also think positive thoughts.

Positive affirmations help us to do that.

A positive affirmation is a brief, positive

statement with the goal of countering

the negative thoughts. By overwhelming

our minds with repeated positive state-

ments, we can undo the negative thinking

that has pre-

vented us from

achieving our

desires.

Imagine whatyou want to

bring into your

life. You list

might include

losing weight or

having loving

relationships.

An affirmation

would state that

desire in a posi-

tive way and in

present tense,

as though it has

already hap-

pened.

Something like, "I am a perfect weight for

my body" or "I have loving and harmonious

relationships." You have to be ready to

believe that these events could take place in

your life for the statements to work.

Create one or two statements for each ofyour desires. Write them down and post the

statements in places where you will see them

regularly. Repeat the statements to yourself

at least ten times per day. To increase the

power of these statements, repeat them out

loud while looking in a mirror.

Affirmations are a way of reminding your-

self what you want in your life and changing

your energy or vibration to be open to those

events becoming reality. As you continue to

repeat the statements, your subconscious

will increasingly come to replace the nega-

tive thoughts with these positive thoughts

and the power of your mind will be open to

offer opportunities for you to achieve your

desires.

Submitted by Anastasia Bragg,

president of Teens for Life

The Gaylord Teens 4 Life are on a

mission to make a difference for life.

On Friday, November 8th, the Teens

took this mission to the New Life

Pregnancy Resource Center in Gaylord

as they donated $1,356.90 to New Life

to update their Earn While You Learn

program, a series of educational DVDs

and materials for young parents.

It was amazing to know that thetime we put into this project paid off in

a big way, and that we were able to be a

part of this program that makes such a

big difference in our community, said

Teens 4 Life member Rebecca Cooper,

referring to the work that New Life

does. The teens agreed that the hard

work of raising these funds was more

than rewarded with the knowledge that

they had made a valuable contribution

to New Lifes work.

The Teens raised the money through

their baby of the year contest which

took place last month, and made the

donation in honor of Levi Sefton, one

of the most inspiring babies in the con-

test, who recently passed away.

We are honored to be able to

memorialize Levi through this dona-

tion, said Teens 4 Life president

Anastasia Bragg, Levi was a beautiful

baby, and it seems fitting to celebrate

his life by helping other babies and

families with the money raised through

the contest.

The Teens 4 Life participate in a wide

variety of pro-life activities throughout

the year, including the upcoming Red-

Eye Bus Trip to the National March for

Life in Washington, DC on January 21st,

2014. Teens 4 Life always welcome

interested teens to come check out

their meetings. The next meeting will

be held Tuesday, December 3rd,

6:30pm at Calvary Baptist Church. For

more information about the Teens 4

Life contact Anastasia Bragg at baby-

Throughout your career, you have

been working hard to save in one or

more retirement accounts. Then, once

you retire, youll have some new deci-

sions to make. But one choice has

already been made for you: the age atwhich you must start taking with-

drawals, or distributions. Its a good

idea to familiarize yourself with these

distribution rules because they can have

a big impact on your retirement income.

And you may even want to take action

before the end of the year.

Here, in a nutshell, is the story: Once

you reach age 70, you must begin tak-

ing taxable withdrawals known as

required minimum distributions, or

RMDS from your traditional IRA and

most other retirement plans, such as a

401(k) plan, a 403(b) plan or a 457(b)

plan. A Roth IRA, however, is not subject

to RMDs.

If you turned 70 in 2013, you may

want to take your first RMD no later

than Dec. 31. You could wait until April

1, 2014, to take your initial distribution,

but youd then have to take your nextone by Dec. 31, 2014 and two distri-

butions in one year could have a sizable

impact on your taxes. After youve taken

your first RMD, youll have to take one

by Dec.31 of each calendar year for the

rest of your life or until your account

balance is zero.

These minimum distributions are cal-

culated annually based on your age,

account balance at the end of the previ-

ous year, marital status and spouse's

age. If you do not meet the annual min-

imum distribution, you may be subject

to a 50% penalty on your underpay-

ment, plus ordinary income tax as the

funds are with-

drawn.

Of course, whileyou have to take at

least the mini-

mum distribution

from your retire-

ment plans, you

can always take

more but

should you?

Theres no one

right answer for

e v e r y o n e .

Obviously, if you

need the money,

you may have to

go beyond the

minimum when

taking distribu-

tions. But if you

have enoughincome from

other sources

such as invest-

ments in other

accounts, Social

Security and even

earnings from a

part-time job

you may want to stick with the mini-

mum distributions and leave your

retirement accounts as intact as possi-

ble for as long as possible, thereby

allowing them to potentially continuegrowing on a tax-deferred basis.

Whatever your decision, youll want

to allow sufficient time to determine the

size and timing of your RMDs, because

if you have several retirement accounts,

you may need to make some choices.

For example, if you have more than one

IRA, you can add the RMDS and take the

combined distribution amount from

any one or more of your IRAs. And

if you have more than one 401(k), you

must calculate your RMDs separately

for each plan. To help ensure youre

doing things by the book, consult with

your tax and financial advisors beforeyou start taking your RMDs.

You work hard to build your retire-

ment plans. So, when its time to start

tapping into them, youll want to make

the right moves.

18/20

By Charles Hall

Choosing glasses (even if you dont need

them, you can get them with clear glass) isnow all about style glasses can make you

look smart, funky, cool, elegant, retro, and

yes, even add that just a little bit nerdy

element. It all depends upon how daring

you are.

Remember when the entire American

attitude towards eyewear could be

summed up in the phrase men seldom

make passes at girls who wear glasses?

When the stock in trade of romantic

movies was the transformation of the

Plain Jane by dramatically taking down

her severe bun hair-do and removing her

glasses and, suddenly Ginger Rogers! Or,

for boys, that moment when you over-

heard the girls playing Mystery Date.

They were comparing you (and yourbrown horn rims) unfavorably to

Poindexter, the nerd. Well, those days are,

thankfully, long over girls now have 24

different dates to choose from in

Mystery Date, and eyewear or the lack

of it is simply a fashion choice and, final-

ly, as Bill Gates well knows, nerds are way

cool.

The downside? Well, to ride the crest of

the trend, you need a wardrobe of eye-

wear, which may set you back a few bucks

for example, a years supply of Acuvue

disposable contacts can cost anywhere

from $100 to $175, while glasses can cost

in the thousands -- more than worth it in

terms of fashion impact and confidence in

any situation. It all begins with a trip tothe eye doctor, who not only can update

your prescription and tell you of any eye

problems you might have (and new ways

of fixing them) but recommend specific

types of eyewear which might be appro-

priate for you depending upon your

eyes, some types of contact lenses may

work better than others, not everyone can

wear the soft gel or disposable types due

to particular sensitivities or other condi-

tions. You should, however, consider con-tacts as a fashion choice if youve ever

longed to have a different color eye

todays contact lenses come a wide variety

of colors designed to either look natural or

to be a bit startling in their intensity yes,

you now can have violet

eyes like Elizabeth Taylor

or two different colors like

David Bowie. You can even

buy special effects con-

tacts that let you have irises

with leopard spots or even

cats eyes and much, much

more.

Choosing glasses (even if

you dont need them, you

can get them with clearglass) is now all about style

glasses can make you

look smart, funky, cool, ele-

gant, retro, and yes, even

add that just a little bit

nerdy element. It all

depends upon how daring

you are and how much you

want to emphasize your

eyewear choice, you can find rimless styles

that are practically invisible, try matching

frame shape and color to your face as

most eyewear experts suggest for a

round face try narrow, flat styles, for a long

thin face wider glasses may do the trick but basically its really about what looks

good on you. For everyday wear, you

might want the lightest, most unobtrusive

glasses available and, while youre at it, get

a pair of prescription sunglasses to match

youll never regret it. Then, you might

want to get a pair of classic tortoiseshell

frames in a pleasing shape for when you

want to look particularly sharp in all sens-

es of the word at a business meeting or on

a date studies have shown that people

trust people with glasses and that final

gesture at the end of the commercial when

the spokesman removes his glasses and

speaks directly to you about curing your

sinus headache? Well, that can work in

real life as well try cultivating it as a ges-ture when youre closing your next deal.

Some donts for glasses? If youre only

going to have one or two pairs, dont get

trapped into trendy colors or shapes, since

when these go out of style so do you

unless you want to waste your investment

(though some eyewear outlets may give

you something for your previously worn

frames.) Stick with classics like the

Aviator, the Wayfarer (those Ray Ban sun-

glasses that never go out of style) as well

as wire rims and half frames or if youre

really a connoisseur, check out the Italian

imports and antique frames you might

even be able to pull off pince-nez or a

lorgnette (glasses on a stick.)
