Local couple celebrates a freed Libya By Tim Jagielo

[email protected]; 810-433-6795

Most people in America have heard that ousted Libyan dictator Moammar Gadaffi was found and killed Thursday morning in his hometown of Sirte. He was found after a long battle between loyalists to Gadaffi and rebel fighters in his last seat of power in the country. Until Thursday morning, the provisional government was not sure if he was still in the country. This week, Libyan-born Mustafa

Gheriani and his wife, Lois Van Lente, of Tyrone Township, were in Tunisia, where the celebration of Gadaffi’s death was nearly as strong as the Libyan capital of Tripoli. “Today we have been exhilarated with the news of the capture of Gaddafi and his sons,” said Van Lente in an e-mail, from Tunis. On Saturday, Gheriani and Van Lente headed to Benghazi which is on the east side of the country, settled on the Mediterranean Sea.

REGARDING THE ARTICLE about the Peeping Tom, people who are concerned about this should close their curtains or shut their blinds so that people can’t see inside their homes. n n n

I FIND IT very comical that the left is ‘demonstrating’ against anything when their elected liberals like Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank and Harry Reid have stolen them blind and funneled billions of tax dollars to their friends and business partners. n n n

PLEASE, TRI-COUNTY TIMES, let us know the next time the Chicken Lady has to face the Gestapo, I mean the Fenton Council, so that the citizens can attend to show support and watch these people in action.

THINK ABOUT THIS when you hear about government abuse. More than 70 percent of the Obamacare waivers have gone to businesses in Nancy Pelosi’s wealthy, but tiny, congressional district. That tells you that she knows it is a fraud and a failure already. Yet she helped push it through. Talk about hypocrisy and deceit.

and non-Native feminists.’ I will dissuade them from even going near Occidental College though, where both Phallus, ‘a broad study of the relationship between the phallus and the penis’ is offered, in addition to Blackness, which elaborates upon ‘new blackness,’ ‘post blackness,’ and ‘unforgivable blackness.’ In a show of politically correct one-upmanship, Mount Holyoke offers its students Whiteness, which invites debate on such relative and applicable thoughts as ‘what is whiteness,’ ‘where is whiteness’ and ‘how does whiteness impact the lives of (surprise!) whites.’ Northwestern University in Chicago offers Live Sex Class. Not to be outdone, after a lecture on sexual arousal, students in Northwestern University psychology Professor J. Michael Bailey’s Human Sexuality course were given the option to stay for a…ahem, a guest presentation by

two students on stage. If I were King, someone would have to explain to me the reasoning process that justifies our tax dollars being used to provide useless knowledge and sexual stimuli for the personal perversions of wacko college professors who actually get paid to prey sexually on our naive youth. Every year, millions upon millions of our kids are herded like sheep to these ivy-covered dens of deviancy only to ‘graduate’ four years later with nonexistent skills useful only in the event that they wish to become wacko college professors themselves. Someone needs to educate the educators that are hiring the educators. Clearly, the inmates are running the asylum. A college degree? Sounds like a lot of B.S. to me.

AFTER THE LAST debate I can see that party cares neither about jobs nor the middle class nor the poor.

ignoring the doubts and fears that I had. It all began when Tyrone Township residents Lois Van Lente, and her Libyan-born husband, Mustafa Gheriani, began sharing their incredible, compelling story with the Tri-County Times and the rest of the world. Their story was one of risk, fear, courage and love of country. It grabbed hold of me when I heard stories of the amazing resolve and bravery of the Libyan people. Gheriani was one of those people — an engineer and businessperson, who was in his home country on business when the revolution swept him and the rest of the Libyan coastal city of Benghazi into throwing off the reign of dictatorship of Col. Moammar Gadaffi. That revolution has now spread through most of the country. Gheriani has been in Libya since January, save for a few short visits, working in and around the new government while his wife, Van Lente, watched in trepidation from home, hearing distant explosions when they would speak by satellite phone. Right now, they are together in Libya, working to rebuild a shattered business and a shaken country, even as fighting continued in Sirte, Gaddaffi’s hometown. Right now, people loyal to the new provisional government are celebrating the death of Gaddaffi early Thursday, and history is in motion. It is almost time for me to leave. I plan to

stay for two weeks, following the couple in their daily lives, whether they are in the capital of Tripoli, or the provisional government seat, Benghazi. I’ll take photos, shoot video, record audio and write stories. I’ll send content to the Tri-County Times and other newspapers or news wire services interested in the story, and post content to my photo blog. I’ve already obtained my passport, a mobile work station, and made contacts for transportation and translators. I’ve picked up a few words in Arabic. In addition, I’ve started a kick-starter fundraising page to raise funds for the trip, as it is in part self-funded. There are currently no flights directly into the country, so I’ll need to enter Tunisia through the northwest or Egypt through the southeast. When I know which country I’ll enter through, I’ll purchase a plane ticket and solidify my plans. But I will be going. If you want to follow my journey, you can view photos and stories through the pages of the Tri-County Times and at either of the links below. I’m excited, nervous, and more afraid at this point of not being able to go, due to the tenuous visa process. Wish me luck, and as always, thank you for reading.

Police&Fire

TEENS ARRESTED FOR THEFT Two male teens from Davisburg were arrested on Friday, Oct. 14 for stealing food items from a grocery store in the 15000 block of North Holly Road in the village of Holly. According to Holly police, officers were dispatched to the store after an employee spotted the 15and 17-year-old males selecting, eating and concealing packaged snacks while they walked through the store. The store asked to press charges against the two teens who admitted what they did. The 17-year-old male was ticketed and held until bond was posted. The 15-year-old male’s parents were called and he was referred to the Holly Area Youth Assistance. MOM CALLS POLICE ON DAUGHTER Holly police responded to an apartment in the 3300 block of Grange Hall Road to investigate a domestic assault complaint called in by a 53-year-old woman. According to police, the woman and her 14-year-old daughter got into an argument after her daughter and 11-year-old son argued. The woman said her daughter struck her on her arms, prompting her to lock herself in the bathroom to call police. Arrangements were made for the girl to stay for a while with her father. The girl was referred to Holly Area Youth Assistance. FLINT MAN ARRESTED FOR OWI At 5 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 16, a Holly police officer initiated a traffic stop to a vehicle on North Holly Road that was traveling faster than the posted speed, as well as crossing over the centerline. The driver, a 25-year-old Flint man, told the officer he was lost. The officer detected the odor of intoxicants on the driver. After completing field sobriety tests the driver blew a .23 on the preliminary breath test. The driver was arrested and transported to the police station for processing. BOYFRIEND ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT Holly police arrested a 50-year-old Holly man for domestic assault following a call at his and his girlfriend’s apartment in the 3300 block of Grange Hall Road. According to police, the man’s 52-yearold female friend called 911 from a friend’s apartment after he struck her in her forehead. She said he had just returned home and was intoxicated. The man was transported to the police station for booking. A preliminary breath test revealed a blood alcohol content of .194 percent. The man had two previous domestic assault charges. STORE BROKEN INTO At 5:07 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 20, Fenton police were sent to a party store on North Road to investigate a breaking and entering complaint. Lt. Jason Slater said they were advised that the front glass door of the building had been smashed. A review of the store’s surveillance video shows a suspect smashing the glass, entering the building and stealing cigarettes and alcohol. The suspect had a pickup truck. Police are having the video enhanced to identify the suspect. The case remains under investigation. PEEPING TOM UPDATE Det. Sgt. Bill Lanning, of the Genesee County Sheriff’s Department said the department is continuing extra patrols in Fenton Township after a woman spotted and chased an unknown man peeking into a window of one of her neighbor’s home in the Audubon Meadows subdivision in Fenton Township. This occurred while she was walking her son to the

TRI-COUNTY TIMES bus stop at 6:45 a.m. The man was seen leaving the area in a red or burgundy Chrysler car, possibly a Sebring or Intrepid. Lanning said any tips would be followed up on. He reminds residents to call 911 immediately if they observe any suspicious activity. DISORDERLY MAN On Saturday, Oct. 14, deputies with the Genesee County Sheriff’s Department responded to a mobile home park in Fenton Township to investigate a disorderly person complaint. A 29-year-old Fenton man was arrested for disorderly. This was the second time deputies were called to this home. WOMAN’S PURSE STOLEN On Oct. 16, deputies with the Genesee County Sheriff’s Department responded to a home in the 6000 block of Lobdell Road to investigate a larceny complaint. A 54-year-old Fenton woman said her purse had been stolen at a party. WOMAN DRINKS WINE WHILE SHOPPING At 11:56 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 16, Fenton police were dispatched to a department store on Owen Road to investigate a retail fraud complaint. Lt. Jason Slater said employees watched as a woman, later identified as a 44-year-old Fenton Township resident, consuming small bottles of wine as she walked through the store. As she finished a bottle, she was seen setting it on random display shelves. The woman went through the checkout, paying for other items, minus the 10 bottles of wine. As she exited the store, an employee confronted her and escorted her back into the store. Police arrested the woman and a preliminary breath test revealed her blood alcohol content as .310 percent.

EYE TURNS

All too often children are put through eye muscle surgery prior to having a proper vision assessment. Most children with eye turns have nothing wrong with the eye muscles, but rather a problem within the eye muscle control system in the brain. In other words, most eye turns are a software problem not a hardware problem. The main goal of eye muscle surgery is to make the eyes cosmetically straight. I choose to address eye turns from a visual function standpoint, asking the questions, “WHY did the eye turn in the first place? What made the brain decide to control the eyes differently?” Once we learn this we target correcting the “vision software” with therapy to reteach the visual system how to use both eyes together. Doing this can cosmetically straighten the eyes and allow the person to function with better binocular vision, not just getting the eyes to cosmetically look nice. The majority of children that have eye turn surgery do not have (post-surgically) normal two-eyed depth perception “3-D” (ex. magic eye pictures require normal “3D” Vision). If you are considering eye turn surgery (strabismus surgery) you owe it to yourself and the patient to learn about other non-surgical ways to straighten the eyes and improve visual function and coordination.

Holly Township to spend $11,577 on computer upgrades The Holly Township Board of Trustees voted unanimously to replace six computer workstations for the township offices at $1,058 each, which includes a more energy efficient 19-inch monitor. They are also purchasing current office software for $349 and a new network server for $4,880.25, which Clerk Karin Winchester says is close to failing. Supervisor Jesse Lambert said that hardware upgrades are more of a utility cost than a luxury, and will help keep the township offices running efficiently. It will cost the township $95 per hour for the installation and tech support for the new computers and network. Winchester said the $11,577 is included in the township budget.

A:

Aquiles, I would need more information on your vehicle to be able to help with these problems,but here is some information. First, the A/C cutting out when going over hills could be that the engine temp and condenser gets too warm. This system has a switch that will prevent the A/C from running during these conditions. Keep an eye on the temp gauge when the A/C cuts out and see if this is possibly the cause. As far as the engine not starting after sitting for a couple of days; if the battery is going dead and it is not turning over than you most likely have a battery draw. First things to look for are lights that may be on such as map lights, glove box light, trunk light or visor lights. Sometimes this can be a very hard problem to find and you may need to take it into a shop.

The Fenton store was started in 1958 with Lester Lovegrove at the helm. Back then, it was a Ben Franklin craft store. Lester chose the Fenton area because it was a growing family-oriented community. The name eventually was changed to Lovey’s Crafts, and the business was passed on to Lester’s son, Kurt Lovegrove. Lovey’s Crafts eventually became Lovegrove’s, and sold furniture. “As times

AMERICAN DREAM Continued from Front Page

Different generations look at the American Dream, based on their own experiences. Essentially, the American Dream is a belief that all people can find success by working hard and that all people have the potential to live a happy, successful life. Millennial Karlie Dieck, a 17-year-old senior at Lake Fenton High School, serves as the senior representative for the Lake Fenton Board of Education. To her, the American Dream is happiness, which includes family and a successful career and future. She believes that most of her friends look forward to the future and being successful. “We have opportunities to do so many Karlie Dieck

things,” she said. Careers in Dieck’s extended family are quite mixed, from the auto industry, insurance and even farming. She hopes to become a biomedical engineer specializing in prosthetics. “I hope to settle down and have a family and not be preoccupied with my job. Family is really important to me. “I want to have an influence in the world. I have the mentality that if you set your mind to something, you can do it.” Dieck believes that the work ethic with her generation has gone down. “We’re so reliant on technology,” she said. It will be an eye-opener when the ‘real world’ hits. Generation Y Adam Rose, 28, works every day toward what he considers the American Dream. He is owner of Bangkok Peppers Too in Fenton. To him, the American Dream is being successful and going after one’s dreams. Remaining true to one’s upbringing, by being ethical, for example, will help toward becoming

In option when it comes to running a sucthis country, opportunities exist, howcessful business. To him, the American ever, he does not believe that everyone Dream means having opportunities to takes advantage of those opportunities. The first few years of starting a business can be brutal and filled with tons of challenges, said Hamel. He grew up in a home of entrepreneurs and selfemployed family members. Because of that background, venturing into his own business was always an option. “I’ve seen it before,” he said. “It’s possible.” Oftentimes people have a great idea and never follow-up on it. “That’s the biggest hurdle to get over,” Hamel said. “Once you decide to do it, don’t worry about anything else.” Tony Aleyas, 45, owner of Locke’s Party Shoppe and Deli, Merchants Gourmet and Fenton Party Store moved from Iraq to this country in 1981. He is in the midst of living the American Dream. The main reason his family came to the United States was for the freedom it offered — freedom of speech, being allowed to go anywhere and to make a living safely drew them here. He said, when he was in Iraq it wasn’t too bad, but being Christian, his family was a minority. “We needed freedom to be safe,” he said. While being part of a poor family growing up in Iraq, his family recognized the opportunities that were awaiting them in this country. “When you see opportunities, you want to do good things,” he said. Aleyas began working at 14. He believes youngsters should start working early and keep working. “You have to have work,” he said. “Money doesn’t come from the trees. You’ve got to work for it.” In his opinion, anyone can achieve the American Dream as long as they work hard and are honest. “The dream always comes true,” he said. “That’s the good thing about this country.” G.I. Generation Don Winglemire, 85, is owner of Winglemire Furniture in Holly. The store has been in his family for 153 years and throughout his life, he has only held two other jobs. “I was born into it,” he said. In the early ‘40s he worked at a hardware store and he also served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. At this point in his life, Winglemire said the American Dream for him is to live to be 100. The person who influenced him the most was his mother, since his father passed away when he was a senior in high school. “She was there to guide me, teach me and to give me hell when I did something wrong,” he said. Winglemire believes the values today with younger people have changed immensely. “Too many want everything and don’t want to work for it. They don’t put in the time to achieve.”

MAYOR


director of the Fenton Area Chamber of Commerce and served on Fenton’s city council. Her main reason for running for city council back then was because she was frustrated with the condition of her subdivision’s roads. She remembers one of her neighbors, Ed Krzeminski, who was also a city council member at the time, encouraged her to run for council so that she could be part of the solution rather than one who just complains about a situation. “That inspired me,” she said. “Rather than complaining I jumped in to help solve the problem.” Lockwood also remembers that right after she and her husband moved to Fenton, urban renewal was approved and much of the downtown was torn down. In 1989, she ran unopposed and she was elected in her first mayoral bid. She succeeded Carl Hammond, who decided to run for council rather than mayor. She went on to serve as mayor until 1998. Public service reached beyond just Fenton for Lockwood. From 1998 to 2002, she served as the local representative to the House for the 51st District, which includes Fenton and the surrounding area. From there, she was appointed as a state transportation commission advisor. In 2004, then Gov. Jennifer Granholm appointed Lockwood to the


LIBYA

position of Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) policy director. In 2006, she was elected to a seat on the Genesee County Board of Commissioners for the 6th district. She was elected for a second term in 2008. During her term, Granholm appointed her as the acting Michigan racing commissioner and she served in that role until October 2010. Lockwood’s list of titles and achievements over the years is extensive. In addition to the boards already mentioned, she worked as federal policy liaison, economic development consultant, shared public services director, chair of the Fenton Freedom Festival, board member of the Fenton Area Public Schools Educational Foundation, board member of the Fenton Community Fund, board member of the Genesee County Land Bank, the Michigan Municipal League and the Keep Michigan Beautiful board, just to name a few. Now that the November election date is approaching, Lockwood said her main reason for running for a seat on city council is because of her love for this community. She added that people and businesses approached her, encouraging her to run. “I’ve never been able to just sit back,” she said. She figured that if she could help her hometown, she should run. “I’ll always be interested in helping businesses and residents,” she said. “It’s still my hometown.”


“Travel is going to be difficult,” she said. “We are in Tunis for a few days.” The couple united after brief visits to the United States, while Gheriani “Today we stayed mostly in have been Libya, helping the exhilarated provisional government since the with the news uprising began in of the capture February. of Gaddafi and Now, Gheriani his sons.” will focus on reLois building his conVan Lente tracting business that was destroyed when the conflict began. The couple will stay in Libya until late November. They will return home to their adult sons for the holidays.

HOW CAN A regular person ‘stay away from the companies on Wall Street’ when most of the country seems to be run by those companies? Then they can afford to convince our government representatives to vote their way. Come on, think about it.

MAN’S LAPTOP STOLEN On Oct. 16, a Genesee County Sheriff’s Department deputy responded to a home in the 13000 block of Alyssa Court in Fenton Township for a larceny complaint. A 21-year-old Linden man said his laptop had been stolen. Det. Sgt. Bill Lanning said deputies had been out at this location earlier in response to a loud party complaint. GPS STOLEN FROM VEHICLE The Holly Police Department received a larceny from vehicle complaint on Sunday, Oct. 16. A resident from Sherman Street reported that a TomTom GPS had been stolen from his vehicle. The owner said the locks on his vehicle did not work. There are no suspects. INTRUDER AT APARTMENTS On Friday, Oct. 14, Fenton police were called to an apartment on Poplar Street to investigate two home invasion complaints. Lt. Jason Slater said a resident reported that he had awakened and found an unknown man sleeping on the couch. He confronted the man, who appeared to be intoxicated, and the intruder left the apartment without incident. The resident noticed later that his Xbox console was missing. While police were on scene, a resident from another apartment reported that he had seen a man walking away from his window. His window had been opened and the blinds had been pulled up. While the resident searched for the intruder, he found his cellphone on the ground. During the investigation, police spotted a man who fit the description of the intruder. The man had been drinking and admitted that he ended up in the wrong apartment. He was taken into custody and taken to the police station for questioning.

More wine sold in U.S. than France last year By William Axford

Summary

uWine is economical and can be enjoyed by anyone. Although there are some general rules that go with purchasing wine, people should generally pick what tastes good.

With the holidays fast approaching, wine will soon become a staple at social gatherings. Purchasing wine, however, can be daunting. From the endless varieties of Chardonnays and Pinot Noir, picking the right bottle of wine can cause a hangover before a bottle is opened. So exactly, how does one pick that perfect bottle of wine? For Fenton Wine and Brewery owner Matt Sherrow, the choice is easy — pick what you like to drink. “I always stress ‘serve what you drink.’ A lot of people get caught up in pairing wine,” said Sherrow, who has been making wine for the last See WINE on 2B

stress ‘serve ‘‘I always what you drink.’ ’’ Matt Sherrow

Fenton Winery and Brewery

Popular wines

Merlot — Due to its mellowness, Merlot is generally the introductory drink to red wines. A versatile wine, Merlot can be served with nearly everything. Chardonnay — A popular white wine that is paired with fish or chicken, Chardonnay has hints of melon, vanilla and some creaminess. Chardonnay comes in either still or sparkling. Cabernet Sauvignon — Considered one of the best varieties of red wines; the Cabernet Sauvignon goes best with simply prepared red meat. The wine is very robust and assertive when it is younger and mellows with age. Sauvignon Blanc — A white wine lighter Chardonnay that is versatile enough to be served with seafood, chicken and salads. Tastes include sour apples, pears and berries up to tropical fruits such as mangos and melons.

four years. “Whatever you like to drink is a good bottle.” In Sherrow’s experience, most people start with fruit wines because of their smooth, semi-sweet taste. Fruit wines are not as dry as red or white, and are accessible to a wide variety of palates. Typically, fledgling wine drinkers move onto white wine. Red wine is the preferred choice for those who have more developed palates. While wine may conjure images of wine tasting at vineyards or renowned chefs demanding specific varieties being served with their meals, wine is both very accessible and very affordable to everyone. According to national reports, more wine was sold in the United States than in France last year, making the United States the number one consumer of wine in the world. The Wine Institute reported last year that wine sales generated $30 billion in America, with 60 percent of the wine originating in California. A visit to any party store will reinforce that wine is an American staple and not a drink exclusively reserved for “high society.” “Typically, people are spending $10 to $20 on a bottle of wine,” said Tony Aleyas, owner Locke’s party store. “There’s a lot of really good wine in this price range.” Aleyas stocks wines from South Africa, New Zealand, Argentina and other parts of the world and sells them at an economical price. Tasting different wines doesn’t have to

be a strain on the wallet. “A lot of people say you have to pay $50 for a good bottle of wine,” Sherrow said. “That wine may be higher in quality but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll like it.” Although Sherrow holds that people should drink wines they like, he admits that some wines simply do not go with some dishes. “If you’re having guests over, you want to have an idea of what you’re eating first, and then pair the wine with it,” he said. Red wines are a good match with red meats such as steak, beef, stew and wild game. White wines complement chicken, fish, salads, pork and sausage. Sparkling wines and fruit wines can be served with snacks such as cheese and crackers. When in doubt of which wine to serve, choose a variety that won’t overpower the meal. The process of finding the perfect wine is similar to honing a skill. The best wines are found through trial and error, and endless experimentation. Indicators such as capped versus corked or bottled versus boxed wine are beginning to blur as wineries continue to improve their products. “Try as many different wines as you can,” Sherrow advises. “A lot of people have a preconceived notion of what they like until they try something new.”

Cell phones now double as home security system Protect the place that matters most. Your home is the most important place in the world, and you want to safeguard your family in every way possible. What’s most incredible about this alarm system is that, in addition to superior wireless security, it offers you advanced mobile and web features your old-fashioned alarm could never dream of adding.

The home security systems

A lot happens at a home when you’re not there that doesn’t require an emergency response. Check your home security system while on vacation, send commands from a computer or cell phone, even manage lighting and thermostat controls remotely. Using the alarm system online, or via interactive mobile apps, you can monitor everything that happens. The alarm system will keep you updated on what you want to know about the security of your property while you’re away with email or text message alerts when specific sensors are activated. • Monitor activity on entry doors, windows, liquor and medicine cabinets, safes, drawers, and more. • Access your home security system remotely to look in on your children or pets by

pulling up a live video feed from cameras in their favorite play areas. • Keep an eye on a second property with a home security monitoring system when you’re not there.

What it does:

• Find out when the kids get back from school, or what time your teen got in last night. • Receive instant notification if a medicine cabinet, gun cabinet, liquor cabinet or other dangerous area is opened unexpectedly. • Add water sensors to your basement to detect a flood in time to prevent costly damage. • See what time the housecleaners arrived and how long they stayed. • Get an alert sent to your phone if the garage door is left open too long. • Find out if your teenager spent the afternoon playing video games in the basement or upstairs (hopefully) doing homework.

How it works

The alarm system works wirelessly with always-on GSM technology to protect your home or business 24/7, even when the power goes out. When trouble strikes, the alarm is able to interact with the central monitoring station faster than traditional security systems to send out an immediate response. • With the alarm the signal from your security system travels wirelessly using a dedicated, encrypted and secure connection through a GSM cellular network. • Since the alarm does not rely on a phone line or broadband connection, your security system can’t be defeated by a burglar snipping the wire—no wires, no hassles.

ogy in the past year. The term means “sending of sexually explicit photographs or messages by mobile phone.” Other tech-related words include: intexicated meaning being distracted by texting while driving.

Clickjacking meaning to try to con people into revealing personal information.

Electronic paper TV is the new media fashion trend Hey, is that guy wearing a TV? Believe it or not, Sony has been mastering the technology of razor thin, paper like bendable plastic that has the ability to display full-color video. Sony originally presented the 2.5-inch video screen that was only 0.01 inch thick in 2007, the idea being to create thinner cell phones and MP3 players. A small film transistor and a electroluminescent display to created the TV making for a much more flexible display. Sony went on record to say that, “it could be used to wrap around a lamppost, or a person’s wrist, or put up in someone’s house like wallpaper.” This could lead to video labels on cereal boxes, or tuna fish cans and even T-shirts with personal video displays scrolling up and down. The electroluminescent display technology is a new entry into the current playing field of TV technologies, LCD and Plasma. Now Sony is releasing the new technology in the U.S. next year, in the form of a XEL-1 OLED TV. Unlike a Plasma it doesn’t use a backlight to illuminate the picture from behind. A OLED panel illuminates itself, giving the XEL-1 OLED TV the option of being much thinner.

Hills Gold & Silver Exchange opens in Holly By Sally Rummel


Fifty years of experience in the jewelry business has taught Bob Grant many different aspects of jewelry — from sales and repair, to appraisals. For more than 25 years, Grant spent his career liquidating and rebuilding jewelry stores all over the United States. As a gemologist, he has brought his new business to Holly, opening Hills Gold & Silver Exchange last month. His son, Ed Grant, who is a graduate gemologist, will soon join the business, bringing another level of jewelry expertise. “We specialize in buying estates, doing jewelry appraisal for insurance purposes and probate, as well as buying precious metals on site for individual customers,” said Grant. “We buy gold, silver, platinum and diamonds.” He also repairs jewelry in his store, providing a secure environment for a customer’s most precious pieces. He plans to have a small number of pieces of designer jewelry for sale in showcases soon. Hills Gold & Silver Exchange is located at 15190 Holly Road, Suite D, For more information, call (248) 562-2331.

columnist By Roger Campbell

The power of forgiveness ‘Will you pray that God will take me home to heaven?’ asked a depressed grandmother. Upon hearing my refusal to pray as she had requested, this troubled woman poured out a story of bitterness toward her family. She felt unloved and unwanted because those with whom she lived seemed to show her little respect and she was unwilling to forgive them. As a result, life didn’t seem worth living anymore. Perhaps you can identify with this woman with a broken heart. If so, try forgiving those who have let you down and see how quickly your dark clouds disappear. But how can we forgive those who have wounded us deeply? We must hurry to the first principle of forgiveness: God loves us and offers forgiveness to us even though we don’t deserve to be forgiven. In his book, ‘Notes on the Parables,’ Richard Trench says in requesting and receiving forgiveness, we pledge ourselves to show it. More than 50 years ago, five young missionaries were martyred in Ecuador by a group of Auca Indians. The shocking news of this tragedy gave birth to books and other means of publicizing the heroic efforts of those who had given their lives to reach those who knew nothing about God’s love for them. Elizabeth Elliott’s book ‘Through Gates of Splendor,’ became a classic telling of what happened that day on a remote jungle beach and ‘Jungle Pilot,’ the story of Nate Saint, one of the martyred ones, challenged many to volunteer for missionary service to replace those who had lost their lives in the service of their Lord. Saint’s statement, ‘He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose” has been a mind sticker and motivator for me for half a century. How did the family members of these martyrs react to those who participated in this tragedy? They forgave them, even choosing to live among them in the jungle and continue the work of their martyred men. Has this forgiveness and continued ministry made a difference? No question about it. Experts say the dedicated work of these family members saved the tribe from extinction because the example of forgiveness shown to them caused these people to halt their long practice of revenge killing that had been decimating the tribe for generations. Forgiveness and families go together. Whom in your family do you need to forgive? What example will your forgiveness be to other members in your family? How will your forgiveness affect your church and community? Let all of your anger and bitterness be put away. Become a forgiving person today.

Event kicks off Fr. Harvey Legacy Society

A day at the orchard

EXPERT

By Sharon Stone

I purchased a brand new LG dehumidifier from Home Depot a couple of months ago. Since I don’t have very good luck with them lasting more than a year at a time, I also purchased the two-year extended warranty. The dehumidifier keeps leaking huge puddles of water all over the place. At first we thought that the hose was getting kinked so we adjusted it so that is not the case. What else could be the problem? Could I take this unit to you for repair? If so, would the repair be covered by the warranty?


A.

There is an adaptor that you placed into the back of the unit to connect your drain hose. Pull out the bucket in the front of the dehumidifier and check to see that it is connected to the drain tube in the top right hand opening of the unit. If it is not that is probably your issue. We are a Factory authorized servicer for the LG appliances, however if you purchased an extended warranty, you must call the number on your extended warranty for a company that can repair the unit under that extended warranty.

As we prepare for the change of seasons, the chamber continues on… with upcoming events such as the Event So Good It’s Scary, our annual awards dinner, and Jinglefest. Our staff and committees have their hands full. We have had a tremendous year so far with our Membership Campaign, the Taste in Fenton, the chamber golf outing, and the Linden Autumn Festival — all going better than expected. We are looking forward to more successful networking meetings and business after hour gatherings. By the printing of this article, we will have held our Meet the Candidate event for the local election of mayor and council members. This is the first election in recent memory where we have had a competitive race for both council and mayor. We hope you will get involved, get informed, and vote. The leaves will change color and the weather will get colder but the mission of your local chamber of commerce remains the same — to be an advocate for our members and to promote economic vitality and prosperity for our region. We are looking forward to the change of seasons but we want you to know we are here to make a difference and that will not change. Have a beautiful autumn. — Patrik Welty, chairman Fenton Regional Chamber of Commerce

2011 Michigan Ambassador Conference In historic Marshall Michigan, four Fenton chamber ambassadors joined more than 100 ambassadors and chamber support staff including Bob Thomas, of the Michigan Association of Chamber Professionals, in attending the annual Michigan Ambassador Conference on Sept. 27-29. Rick Devries, president and CEO of Monarch Community Bank, presented “Be Remarkable.” “Be remarkable or be invisible. We as business leaders should concentrate on outstanding service by hand delivery and face-to-face visits,” he said. He shared a family story about a Hershey bar and his grandmother and about how she presents Hershey bars to business associates with that story, so she leaves a remarkable impression. Jon Shallert, president of the Shallert Group, presented “Destination Principals and how to stand out and make your business a destination.” “Reinvent yourself to get out of a business plateau, holes and weaknesses. Find key people to fill those holes, and find a

signature item,” he said, One example he used was a restaurant in Lafayette, Ind. “Our name may be XXX, but our food is rated G, Home of the Peanut Butter Burger.” The message is clear and intriguing. Shallert suggested using Google Alerts to let business owners automatically know when people are discussing them or their business on the web. Eric Cook, certified Internet business consultant for WSI (We Simplify the Internet), presented tips on Internet marketing. According to Cook, 50 percent of Facebook users are under 30 years old and they rely on word of mouth and peer recommendations — not traditional advertising. The second largest search engine is Youtube. Cook said that social media is not a fad and it is free. Instead of concentrating on ROI (return on investment), concentrate on ROE (return on engagement), to get people talking about you and your business. The Ambassador group is looking forward to sharing tips from all three speakers mentioned above with our members.

Mom and pop shops — a thing of the past? The Hot lines have been mentioning shopping at mom and pop stores, and some people are wondering where they have gone. Fenton, Linden and Holly have hundreds of independently owned businesses. Many of them are camouflaged under franchise names and it may look like a nationally owned business, but it is not. Many local businesses such as Big Boy, Mancino’s, Sears Hometown and The UPS Store are independently owned under a franchised name. These independent, locally owned businesses pay a franchise fee between 3 and 9 percent to use the national name yet they are still a locally owned business. Many of your insurance companies such as State Farm and Nationwide are operated by local agents of the national company, and investment companies such as Edward Jones are operating under the guise of the national name, yet have a local business person operating the office. Most of your carryout food establishments are locally owned family operations. Other independently owned businesses


Linden Autumn Festival

in town (in part) are Eclections, MosArt Jewelers, Caravan’s Hallmark, Sagebrush Cantina, Uncle Ray’s Dairyland, Fenton House, The French Laundry and more. So, as you can see, there are hundreds of locally owned mom and pop shops around town. They may be hiding under a national name but they are locally owned by local businessmen and women who are proud to operate a business in Fenton and the surrounding area.

“I’m shopping local.” Three words that will tell your community merchant that you appreciate them. Invest In Your Community.


Linden Autumn Festival was a huge hit. More than 300 people attended the annual event.

Holly’s CC girls dominate league meet, win Metro title By David Troppens [email protected]; 810-4336789

Clio — From the opening Metro League jamboree there was no doubt the Holly girls varsity cross country team was the elite squad in the conference. The Bronchos proved it once again on Wednesday at Clio’s Vienna Greens Golf Course. The Bronchos had six of the top 12 runners at the final Metro

League meet, posting a team score of 33, easily winning the event and the Metro League’s overall crown. The Bronchos didn’t have any runners finish in the top three, but did have five of the next six runners, and six of the next nine runners cross the finish line after those top three. Just as close as they finished the race, the Bronchos seem to be a close family. “We are all so close,” said Holly’s top runner at the meet, Shannon Westfall. “We work with each other during the workouts. It’s a really

cool team because we do so many team bonding things making it a close team. It’s like a second family.” “We were really happy this year,” Holly’s Carly Schroeder said. “It’s been a great team. We’ve had some really fast times, and to come out and win three (Metro League jamborees) in a row is great. The team has come out. We wanted to make history this year and prove we have a better team than in past years.” The tri-county area teams showed their strength in the final standings.

Who are the only teammates to ever score four TDs each in an NFL football game?

Priest Holmes and Derrick Blaylock accomplished the feat for the Kansas City Chiefs in a 56-10 victory against Atlanta on Oct. 24, 2004.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2011

Linden’s Sydney Elmer dominated the event with a personal-best time of 19:20.6. Her time helped Linden to a second-place team finish. Meanwhile, Elmer’s top competition for the individual title was Fenton’s second-place finisher Taylor Thorpe (20:00.3). The two friendly rivals had split the first two jamborees, with each winning one. She helped lead the Tigers to a fourth-place team finish at the meet and in third in the final overall standings.

Fenton, Holly capture share of Metro title

Tigers crush Dragons in second half

Bronchos earn first league title since 1952 By David Troppens [email protected]

By Al Zipsie [email protected]; 810-433-6789

Swartz Creek — Fenton got the wake up call it needed at halftime and slayed the Swartz Creek Dragons 31-7 for a share of the Metro League championship Friday. The Tigers (6-2, 7-2) came up empty on three golden opportunities with great field position in the first half. A chip shot field goal from one of the state’s best Kenny Allen was blocked and Swartz Creek led 7-0 at halftime. Creek’s first-half score came with 5:05 left in the opening quarter on a Mitchell Ryan 19-yard TD pass to Max Cummings. “Our defense kept us in the game, never giving up another score,” Fenton coach Jeff Setzke said. It took only 60 seconds for the Tigers, who will be in the playoffs for a fourth straight season, to tie the game in the second half. Brennen Clarke had a nice kick return to Fenton’s 43. A personal foul moved it to Swartz Creek’s 42. Then, Fenton quarterback Houston Shaw hooked up with his Quinton Mandle with a 28-yard reception. Shaw then scored on a keeper from one yard out. It was just one of four thirdquarter TDs for Fenton.

Fenton’s Justin Mott then picked off a and returned it to Creek’s 24. On the next play, Shaw connected with Mandle for a 24-yard TD pass. Fenton led 14-7 with 9:24 left in the third quarter. Later, Mandle

would catch a 73-yard TD pass and Shaw would score on an 18-yard run. Fenton led 28-7. Allen added a 31-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, capping the scoring.

Linden falls, Lake Fenton wins Friday games By David Troppens [email protected]

Linden — Lapeer East’s ground game accumulated 261 rushing yards, leading East to a 24-20 victory at Linden, earning the visitors a share of the Metro title. Linden (5-4) must wait until Sunday to see if they are in the playoffs. Linden led 13-9 at the half after a

two-yard TD run by Shaye Brown and a three-yard run by Travis Marsh. However, East scored on a 19-yard TD reception by Kyle Rachwal and a 15-yard TD run by Bradley LaBrie in the third quarter, putting East up 24-13.

Ortonville — The Holly Bronchos captured a piece of their first ever Flint Metro League championship, and their first ever league crown since 1952, with a 24-14 road victory at Brandon High School Friday night. With the game tied at 14-all, the Bronchos, who were playing without three starters due to injury, got a 26-yard field goal from Blake Ordiway and then a 13-yard TD run from Johnny Williams earning the victory in the fourth quarter. “It was amazing,” Holly coach Ryan Culloty said. “The kids showed great resolve all season long, starting 0-2 and then facing Linden and Fenton the next two games. They won seven straight. To show that kind of character and resolve is impressive.” The Bronchos took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter on a 44-yard reception to Clayton Lindsay from Williams. Ordiway made his first of three extra points, putting the Bronchos up 7-0. It stayed that way until halftime. Brandon scored on a 23-yard run in the third quarter, tying the contest. The teams exchanged TDs the rest of the third quarter — Holly’s on a Williams six-yard run and Brandon’s on a two-yard run — tying the game at 14-all entering the final quarter. Williams had just 64 yards rushing, but completed 7-of-11 passes for 160 yards. Five of those receptions went to Austin Hopkin for 115 yards. The Bronchos will find out who they have in the playoffs on Sunday. For more on this game, go to www.tctimes.com.

Durand — The extra day was well worth the wait. Being forced to play its district semifinal contest against Durand on Thursday instead of Wednesday due to a power outage, the Blue Devils returned to Durand’s soccer fields and posted a 1-0 upset victory. The Blue Devils had lost to the Railroaders twice this season, including a 4-0 loss about a week ago. But on Thursday the Blue Devils (6-12-1) got their revenge and earned a spot in Saturday’s district title game against Flint Powers.

Linden boys capture fifth straight Metro League title Fenton’s Gilbert takes top spot individually By David Troppens [email protected]; 810-433-6789

Clio — With every Metro League jamboree, it seemed the Linden Eagles had another team gunning to compete against them. At the first meet it was a surprising Clio squad. The second jamboree, it was Fenton that pressed the Eagles for the victory. And on Wednesday at Vienna Greens Golf Course, it was Fenton — along with Swartz Creek — presenting a challenge once again. But when it was all said and done the Linden Eagles had their fifth straight Metro League title, winning the third meet with a team score of 47 points, two better than the Fenton Tigers. The victory was pretty sweet for the Eagles, who had to wait at least an hour for the final official results to make sure they had won Wednesday’s race, consequently the title. “It was really tough because we weren’t sure if we had it,” Linden junior runner Graham Elliott said. “It was really close. We kept going through our heads wondering, and we really wanted it. It was hard to wait.” But when the wait was over, they told the Metro League what it probably learned through the Eagles’ first two jamboree wins this year, which is Linden remains the dominant team in the conference. “It’s a real tradition to win the Metro League title,” Elliott said. “Last year we were under a lot of pressure to win (the final Metro Meet so the Eagles could earn a cotitle with Fenton), and we did it. And now we did it this year.”

The defending co-champion Tigers gave the Eagles a challenge during Wednesday’s wet and windy conditions. The Tigers’ Matt Gilbert won the race (16:11), while teammate Max Kryza placed second (16:35). However, the Eagles’ depth took over from there. Linden had its entire starting seven finish in the top 18 of the event. Elliott took fourth (16:40), while Roger Phillips placed fifth (16:48). Adrian Tayler finished ninth (17:13), rounding off Linden’s runners in the top 10. The rest of the Eagles’ top seven were: Zach LeMieux in 13th (17:22), Kyle Susalla in 16th (17:30), Kirk Bennett in 17th (17:30), and Sam Moughler in 18th (17:33). “The kids were really tough today,” Linden coach Clint Lawhorne said. “We had a couple of kids struggle a little bit, and some of the ones that were struggling prior to today and not running as they would’ve liked to, had big days for us today. It’s kind of nice when it works out that way. That’s why it’s a team sport and not an individual sport.” And the Eagles have shown that it is more than a team sport. Cross country squads can become families, one of the reasons why Lawhorne thinks the team has won five straight league titles. “When I started coaching, I didn’t think that would be the kind of thing that would happen,” Lawhorne said. “They work hard. It’s exciting. “I think we try to make it family oriented. We do family picnic things during the season and the offseason, and I think the parents

Fenton volleyball caps perfect Metro League season By Al Zipsie [email protected]; 810-433-6789

Swartz Creek — The senior class was given the chance to end another perfect Metro League season for the Fenton varsity volleyball squad. They did just that, earning a 2522, 25-18, 25-18 victory at Swartz Creek Tuesday night. In what was a fitting end, all four seniors were on the floor for match point. Sammi Cowger served, Julie Gilbert set and Sarah Collier had the kill. Meanwhile fellow senior Sonia Talarico was also on the floor. It capped four years of undefeated Metro League volleyball for the Tigers, earning them the outright Metro League title. “It’s an honor,” said Gilbert, of winning every Metro League match she has started at Fenton. “We had six seniors graduate, and the juniors and sophomore Ashley Bearden stepped up. We have just meshed so well together.” “It was a great ending with Sarah getting the kill, Julie the set and Sammi the serve,” said Fenton coach Linda Rusaw said about match point. “Julie and Sarah had great three-year careers on the varsity. Sammi is a good athlete, who has played a big role the last two years, and Payton Maxheimer, a junior, has started the last two years.” “It’s nice, and something you will always have in your memory,” Collier said. “Julie setting and Sonia on the floor was nice. Sammi had a great effort. We have put a lot of work in and have worked well together more like a family than just as a team.” The Dragons battled Fenton to a 22-all tie in the opening game. But then Collier and Gilbert stepped up and earned a block and a 24-22 lead. Collier had another block on set point. Megan Cockin got the Tigers roaring in the second set, clicking off the first seven points with her serve, and Fenton never trailed. In the third set, a Maxheimer kill put Fenton in the lead to stay at 16-15. On game point the seniors combined to cap the undefeated league season. Cowger hit on 18 of 19 serves with three aces, while also earning 14 digs. Maxheimer had 31 digs, and nine kills, while Gilbert had 27 assists. Bearden added five kills. “It was nice to play some good competition as we get ready for districts,” Gilbert said. Fenton (27-18-3 overall) will have a rematch with Swartz Creek in the Class A district Oct. 31 at 7 p.m. at Clarkston High School. The Tigers’ focus is on the district. “I love winning Metro League championships, but districts has been our for goal for awhile,” said Gilbert. “We have been talking for a few weeks to finish our Metro goal and to compete in districts,” Collier said. “It’s been awhile since we have won it (2007) and we are ready.” Fenton competes at the Pinckney Invitational on Saturday.


Fenton swimmers defeat Bronchos, 120-65 By Al Zipsie [email protected]; 810-433-6789

Holly — For Fenton’s varsity girls swim team “Hell week” is a tough stretch of the season. But, it will pay off in the end. In the middle of it Fenton managed to beat Holly in a dual Metro League meet Thursday 120-65. “Hell week, a few girls cry, but don’t quit,” Fenton coach Brad Jones said. “And for Hell week we had some good times.” “Swimming season’s hardest week,” acknowledged Fenton’s Sara Wujciak. “It’s swim training at it’s finest. You wear drag, extra clothes and tights. But later, you swim lighter and faster without that on. The more rested you are your times improve for state, and your times go down with the intensity of the big meets. “Actually I had a pretty good times for Hell week,” Wujciak said of her wins in the 100 butterfly (1:02.66) and 100 breaststroke (1:13.55). She also teamed with Haley Shaw, Megan Rumbles and Gabrielle Haaraoja to win the 200 medley relay (1:58.87), while teaming with Shaw, Julie Siefker and Kelsey Kidd to win the 200 freestyle relay (1:48.11). Along with the two relay wins, Shaw also finished with two individual wins. Individually, she won the 100 backstroke (1:02.12) and the 200 individual medley (2:17.24). Also winning individual events for the Tigers were Haaraoja in the 50 freestyle (25.92), Kelsey Kidd in the 100 freestyle (57.96), Kali Finger in the 500 freestyle (5:31.42). Finger, Kidd, Haaraoja and Meagan Cassner also won the 400 freestyle relay (4:04.36). MacKenzie Deputy won the diving event with a 175.00 score. Keeping Fenton from a clean sweep of winning all the events was Holly’s Courtney Konopitiski. She won the 200 freestyle (2:05.67), nipping Finger at the finish line in an exciting race. Holly’s Laura Frachowski also took a tight second in the 500 freestyle. “We swam well at Eastern last weekend (at the MISCA meet). It is always a fun meet with Holly,” Jones said. “We

We also have a couple senior girls right on the edge of qualifying — Kelsey Kidd in the 50 and 100 freestyle, Meagan Rumbles and Kali Finger. We are just looking at where we would do best at state.” Wujciak has qualified in several individual events with Shaw in the 100 butterfly and backstroke and Haaraoja in the 50 and 100 freestyle. Fenton’s strong team meant a loss for Holly, but the Bronchos got something out of the meet. “Fenton wasn’t the kind of team we would beat, but it was a nice matchup and we swam well,” said Holly coach Danielle Gray. “We should be tired with the hard training and the girls are feeling it. We have two weeks left when we start to taper for the FML meet. “We are dropping times and have one relay team that has qualified for state. Our 400 freestyle relay team crushed the old school record, and at MISCA made the state time. Our foreign exchange student, Laura Frachowski from Germany, is coming on in the 200 IM (she finished second to Shaw in 2:22.84). She is pretty seasoned.” Holly’s 400 freestyle relay team was edged by Fenton by .01 second at the meet. It is made up of Frachowski, Jessie Felix, Konopitiski and Rachel Malvich. On Tuesday, both host league events as Holly takes on Lapeer and Fenton can clinch the Metro title unbeaten against Brandon. The Metro League meet is Nov. 5 at Fenton. enough, earning the victory and the shutout. “Durand had the most scoring chances, but our keeper made a couple of great saves, and the defense would bend, but never did break,” Lake Fenton coach Lenny Glasstetter said. The Railroaders (12-7-1) had scored five goals in the two other contests against Lake Fenton. Powers (11-5-5) advanced to the Division 3 district final contest with a 3-0 victory against Birch Run on Wednesday.

Fenton beats Linden in district opener, 1-0 By David Troppens [email protected]; 810-433-6789

Fenton — In many ways it was pretty close to a repeat of Fenton and Linden’s first game against each other this year. This time the game-winning goal came a little earlier, but it remained close. However, when it was all said and done, the Fenton Tigers won another competitive 1-0 verdict against the Linden varsity boys soccer team (13-8-1) Tuesday at Fenton High School in the opening round of Division 2 district action. Fenton’s Jake Kinsman was the hero, scoring the game’s only goal with 12:08 left in the contest. It came on a ball sent in the box by Logan Bowlby to Kyle Costigan. Costigan then centered the ball to Kinsman, who volleyed the ball into the net. “I knew Bowlby was going to cross it to the back post, and (Fenton coach Matt) Sullivan told me that Costigan was in there. I know Costigan never doesn’t win a ball, so I saw it going to his head. I got it and I volleyed it. I knew it as soon as it went off his head, I knew it was going to go in.” Fenton dictated play and kept the ball in Linden’s defensive zone for most of the first half, but wasn’t able to mount much in terms of quality chances while doing so. The only near-goal came with about 22 minutes left in the half on a header by Zach Whitener that hit the Linden post. In the second half, the Eagles put together more balance, but the Tigers still had the best of the scoring chances. Just two minutes into the half, Chase Marcola sent a diagonal cross to Brett Austin, who had a shot that was saved by Linden keeper Collin Hoeberling. It was one of eight saves he made. Perhaps Linden’s best chance to score came with just under 16 minutes left when speedster Ted Parcher had a shot at goal. His shot was deflected out by a Fenton defender, but it came out to Jaime Yanez, who then shot. His shot went just wide. Just over three minutes later, Kinsman scored.

Bloomfield Hills — The Fenton varsity boys soccer team knew Avondale had some speed entering its district semifinal contest at Lahser High School on Thursday. But the speed ended up being a bit too much for Fenton, as the Tigers dropped a 3-0 verdict to the Yellowjackets in cold and rainy conditions Thursday night. “They had too much speed,” Fenton coach Matt Sullivan said. “We knew they did, and I thought we did a good job containing that for awhile. But we struggled to get the ball wide and getting it through. I thought it was a good, hard game. We gave up a couple of goals, that could’ve gone either way.” Neither team put much of an offense together in the first half, but Avondale scored on what was one of the few chances of the half. It came on a free kick from Erik Koberstein. The ball was received by Garrett Ritterhaus, and he headed it into the net for a 1-0 lead. The contest remained 1-0 for most of the event. However, with 18:25 remaining in the game, Avondale struck again. This time, a cross in front of the net after a corner kick attempt resulted in a goal for Kyle Sroka. The Tigers trailed 2-0. The final goal was provided by Nate Chapman on a thru ball that Chapman received and one-touched it over the Fenton keeper into the net with 13:48 left. Fenton had few good chances in the con-

test, with most of its shots coming from outside of 25 feet. “They scored three goals and we didn’t score any. I think soccer is a lot simpler game than people make out of it,” Fenton senior Derek Jenkins said. “They put the ball in the net, and we didn’t.” Fenton’s best chances came on free kicks about 40 yards outside the box near the sideline. The Tigers (11-5-3) had several strong balls sent to the box that were received for shots or headers, but none ended going into the net. Maybe the best chance during the flow of play came about halfway through the first half. Jake Kinsman sent a ball to Chase Marcola at that time for a shot. Marcola tried to place the shot, but it went wide. The most dangerous save on a Fenton shot came in the final minute on a 20-yard shot by Marcola. “The most important thing right now is there’s nothing like the brothership we have at Fenton,” senior Logan Bowlby said. “The brothership is, by far, the best thing we’ve had. Just being with my teammates is the most amazing thing I’ve been around my whole life. I’ll miss every single one of them.” “We are not a team, we are a family,” Jenkins said. “We lost the game, but I love every one of our players. We are probably the only team around that can look at every member of our team and everyone can tell everyone that they tried as hard as they could every time. I think that says something about our team, our character.”

tri-countyoutdoors Lots of HAP land to hunt on in Lower Peninsula By Colin Van Leuvin


Scattered about the Lower Peninsula are approximately 8,000 acres, situated on 45 properties, which are enrolled in the Hunter Access Program (HAP). Instituted in 1977, HAP is one of the oldest “public access of private lands” programs in the nation. These are all private properties, and are leased by the state through the use of hunting license fees, for hunting only. Guests, who by the way are all of us, can hunt these lands by simply registering with the property owner who lives there or nearby, or by signing in at a self-service box. It’s generally a mailbox where you access the land, and has a sign-in sheet and tags. You start by picking up the HAP brochure at a hunting license outlet, or by downloading it from the DNR website. You’ll also need a good map or GPS unit. The properties are listed by county. Column headings designate the landowner, address, township and section, number of permits available, habitat, and hunt-type. Hunt-types are new this year. They allow the landowner to control what type of hunting takes place. The DNR is hopeful this will entice more landowners to sign up for the program and increase the acreage available. Hunt-types are A (All Hunting), YA (Youth H u n t i n g - A pprentice Hunting only), SG (Small Game Hunting only), T (Turkey Hunting only), and D (Deer Hunting only). The habitat is divided by keys, and the number of acres enrolled per each. There are four habitat keys: WW (Wetland Wildlife), FW (Forest Wildlife), FA (Farmland Wildlife) and CC (Cropped Land). WW would be for waterfowl. On FW habitat keys, you’ll likely find deer, squirrels, rabbits and grouse, and FA

could carry pheasants, rabbit, and deer. Some actual examples from the brochure are 2WW-207FW-19FA-68CC - A, and 43FW-8FA-120CC - A. As the examples show, some properties

encompass many acres. Sizes range from 40 to 500 acres, with the brunt of them being from 80 to 200 acres. As most are not small, it would be wise to take a compass.

I’ve hunted a few of these private lands and have had some enjoyable and rewarding hunts. There seems to be less hunting pressure on them than on the state game lands, commercial forestland, or other public hunting grounds, but I did find them well used. Try going during midweek or not on opening days. Some of them had very good cover and food, with other excellent private lands surrounding them. A couple of the properties was marginal at best, and in my opinion, a waste of our license fees and should not be enrolled. As shown on the DNR map, most are grouped in the thumb area, down in Hillsdale and Branch counties, out near Grand Rapids, and in the southwestern corner of the state. You may have to drive a ways, but you can find some very good hunting cover. If you’re looking for a new spot to hunt, give these HAP properties a try. There’s more than 12 square miles spread across 20 Michigan counties that anyone can hunt. And, don’t forget to thank the landowner if you talk with them. Maybe even send them a nice note, or offer to help with some work on the property that needs tending. They might invite you back to hunt some of their other private lands.

Classified ads work... (even before they’re published)

Year after year, the Tri-County Times is honored by earning top awards for its Classified Advertising section. While we appreciate these honors, what is truly rewarding involves the little stories, the occasions when we can help members of the community without a penny exchanging hands. This happened again recently when a family was prepared to place a classified ad to help find their beloved German Shepherd, who ran away from home. At the same time, another family a few miles away, called to place a classified ad to help locate the home of a German Shepherd they found wandering in their subdivision. Thanks to the quick action of our Classified Advertising representatives, the two families were connected and the fourlegged family member is safe at home, once again proving that the Tri-County Times classified ads work, in more ways than one.

30 Minute Meals


Working from home creates extra homework DEAR AMY: I live with my mother and sister. I can’t afford to move out. My mother and sister both have jobs outside the home. I have a homebased business. Amy Dickinson Somehow, the cleaning at home always seems to be left to me. I’ve tried asking for help, but they only pitch in for a few days and then stop. I’ve tried leaving it messy, but nothing gets done. I’ve asked them kindly and rudely, but nothing seems to work! I respect both of them, but it would be nice if they respected me and my own work, and not leave everything up to me. Do you have ideas on how to solve this? — Self-Made

Keep pets safe this Halloween DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Last Halloween, our dog

Valiant ran into the room as my kids were tearing into their trick-or-treat candy and ate several wrappers and a couple of pieces of chocolate. We had to rush him to the emergency pet hospital in another town. Fortunately, he only had to stay overnight for observation and he passed the wrappers without incident, but the veterinary assistant said that they see incidents like this every year at Halloween. Please remind your readers not to let their pets near all the goodies being handed out, as they’re not healthy (and can even be poisonous) and they could ingest dangerous items like candy wrappers.

— Beth in Madison, Wisc.

DEAR BETH: Thank you for the reminder! Halloween is

a fun holiday for kids and families, but it can be a dangerous time for your pets if precautions aren’t taken. • Keep candy bowls and treats on a high counter or shelf where pets can’t reach. • Monitor your pets at all times as trick-or-treaters wander the neighborhood so they don’t ingest anything harmful, and to keep approaching children safe. • If you’re having a Halloween party or if your pet is very excitable, confine it to a quiet room or kennel cage with food, toys and a blanket or cushion until the festivities are over. Check in periodically. • If you see or suspect your pet has ingested chocolate, wrappers or any other dangerous item, contact the veterinarian or emergency pet clinic immediately.

DEAR MADE: You should not have to “ask” family members to clean up after themselves or pitch in with household chores. On the other hand, if you are not contributing financially to the household, part of your contribution should be in the form of home maintenance and cleaning -- in proportion to other family members’ financial contributions and efforts. The three of you should pool your resources and draw up a chore chart, dividing regular household cleaning jobs. You can rotate these chores among you so that no one is stuck with any one job week after week. Obviously, none of this will be of much use if the other two people in your household don’t cooperate, so making an investment in hiring outside cleaning help might be worthwhile. There are advantages and disadvantages to living and working at home. Let this serve as an incentive for you to save your pennies with a goal of moving out. DEAR AMY: My husband and I have been happily married for one year. We are starting out in new careers with modest incomes. He proposed on a gorgeous beach and respectfully asked my father’s “permission.” The only problem is that I really dislike my engagement ring. I feel embarrassed to tell him. I don’t want to hurt his pride or be petty and materialistic. I decided to get over it and just be thrilled with starting a life together. But I can’t help but wince when I look at it. I know that it cost less than $1,000, and I just can’t make myself like the ring, even though I’ve tried for a year. I can’t help but feel a pang of jealousy at all of my girlfriends’ rings -- and I’m embarrassed at feeling so materialistic. He has mentioned that he knows it’s a lot simpler than my friends’ rings, and he has seemed to try to compensate by buying me a diamond necklace for my birthday -- but I don’t want him to keep trying to “make up for it.” Am I being ridiculous to want a nicer piece -not crazy expensive, but a little nicer? I feel terrible, but is there any way to gently break this to him so we can choose a different ring together? Should I keep this secret forever? — Ashamed DEAR ASHAMED: My perspective is that, in the grand scheme of things, just about every other thing in your life is probably more important than this. But this bothers you and your husband has noticed. You can face this (gently) by asking him if the two of you could work together to save money to pick out a different ring. Perhaps you could agree to exchange cards and letters instead of gifts over the next two years in order to save. You could celebrate an anniversary by choosing a new ring together. By then, you might have a different perspective -- and you may come to treasure the little ring your husband gave to you, even if you still don’t love it all that much.

ANSWER KEY LOCATED IN THIS EDITION

PAUL G. DONOHUE, M.D.

To your

good health

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have a problem with my feet swelling. They get so big that they hurt when I walk. My doctor is puzzled. He thinks maybe it’s due to my heart pills, but he can’t change them -- my heart doctor has to. I have had two heart attacks, bypass surgery and a defibrillator put in my chest. When I’m in bed, the swelling goes down to almost normal. When I am up, it returns, even if I am sitting. I’d appreciate any suggestions. -- E.L. ANSWER: I believe I’m safe in saying your problem is chronic congestive heart failure. Your heart is pumping so weakly that blood circulates sluggishly. When you’re up or when you’re sitting, gravity pulls fluid out of your leg’s vessels, and it is the cause of your swelling. In the horizontal position in bed, gravity doesn’t have this effect, and the fluid stays in blood vessels. The swelling is called edema (e-DEE-muh). During the day, take frequent breaks to lie down with your legs propped up higher than your heart. When you sit, rest your legs on the seat of a chair put in front of you. Walk as much as you can during the day. The contracting leg muscles push fluid back into circulation. Limit the salt you eat; salt makes the body retain fluid. Read food labels. Most of our salt intake comes from the foods we eat, not from adding salt at the table or in cooking. But don’t do either. Your total daily salt intake should be less than 5,700 mg, preferably 3,800 mg. If salt is on the label as “sodium,” your total daily intake should be 2,300 mg or less. A better goal is 1,500 mg. Tell your heart doctor about your swelling. He might make changes in your medicines either by increasing the dose or switching to other medicines that make the heart pump with more force. There are other causes of edema, but this is the one that seems to fit you best. Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.
