Economist, college professor,
and author Mark Skousen deliv-
ered a lecture at Hillsdale college
on Jan. 31 titled “The Centrality
of the Invisible Hand” for the
CCA “Adam Smith, Free Markets,
and the Modern World.” Skousen
served as the president of the
Foundation for Economic Educa-
tion (FEE) from 2001 to 2002 and
writes for Forbes, The Wall Street
Journal, and Liberty Magazine,
as well as many other print and
online publications. To honor
Skousen’s dedication to economics
and business, Grantham Univer-

business school after him: “The

residents of Simpson will step up to maintain what Rogers called an usually strong “level of smooth-ness” in Simpson.
“I’m not worried at all,” Fields said. “This isn’t a job that takes a ton of training or experience. It takes a little bit of leadership skill, a willingness to work with the guys on your hall, and a bit of com-mon sense. There are more than enough men on Hillsdale’s campus that far exceed these very basic minimum requirements.”
Rogers said that he has received 25 RA applications for Simpson so far, which he considers a testament to “the amount of guys who both want leadership and who want to lead.”

Last week, The Collegian published a Q&A with Mark Skousen under the name of P.J. O’Rourke. The correct combination can be read in this paper and on-line.
Additionally, one of the photos accompanying the Delta Sigma Phi story featured alcohol bottles that had been moved by a Collegian photographer. While the bottles were found on the house’s property, the paper should not have moved them to frame a better photo.

WELLNESS WORKOUTS TAKE PFF
On Friday, the Health and Wellness Club of Hillsdale Col-lege unveiled the new Health and Wellness portal. The site, which can be accessed by selecting the “Committees” link on the student homepage, offers a myriad of options for students looking to improve their well-being.
“There are discussion forums for training, and Carol [the nurse at Ambler Health Center]will be putting up information about the
topics,” said Brock Lutz, Director of Health Services.
Besides discussion forums where students can communicate about healthy living and training
— there are links to different websites that offer information, ranging from body mass index calculators to the development of a workout routine.
The portal also offers informa-tion on dates and times of work-out events, such as boot camp, pilates, and zumba.
The site will be updated on a weekly basis with new videos, discussions, and articles appear-ing every Friday afternoon.

APEE BRIEFSophomores Abby Loxton and Brett Wierenga’s papers were judged
good enough for presentation at a national conference. Too bad they’re not old enough to go.Economists from all over the country and world attend the three day
Association of Private Enterprise Education conference from April 1-3 to present papers on a variety of topics.
Associate Professor of Economics Charles Steele selected the best essays from students in his class, History of Economic Thought I.
The papers were then read by an independent panel of judges who selected Loxton and Wierenga’s papers.
Unfortunately, however, the department found out that, according to APEE rules, students have to 21 years old to attend.
“All hotels in Las Vegas are casinos and require all minors to be
accompanied. APEE decided to say no to undergraduates under 21,” Pongracic said.
Since Loxton and Wierenga are both underage, the runner-ups were chosen to go instead.
Seniors Rebecca Schoon and Nathan Lichtman will attend in their stead.
Students attending will compete for the best research paper. Winners will receive a cash prize.
Hillsdale College has sent students to the conference every year for the past several years.
“We’ve done well in the past and heard comments that we were quite impressive,” said Professor of Economics Ivan Pongracic. “I expect it again this time.”

Hillsdale high school students face a decision when they gradu-ate: stay in Hillsdale or leave. Some local leaders think too many are choosing the latter. As a result, Hillsdale County
is being drained of its young
offer to the community, said Susan Smith, executive direc-tor of the Hillsdale Economic Development Partnership. Smith said the stream of youth leaving Hillsdale is largely due to lack of awareness of what Hillsdale has
to offer them.To counter this, the EDP
is publishing a booklet titled “Made in Hillsdale,” which will be available online within the next three months.“We want to bridge the
knowledge disconnect between the student population and the world of work,” Smith said. “We would like them to know what their opportunities are locally.”The booklet will include
references to various companies in Hillsdale County that offer job opportunities, with pages allotted to members of the agri-culture community. Smith hopes
it will act as a sort of billboard for local companies to advertise themselves.“I’d also like to have a
“People in the community don’t know where to go in the city if they need assistance.”Ward 1 Councilman Brian
Watkins said there is little incentive for youth to stay in Hillsdale.“There’s not a lot of oppor-
tunity for someone coming out of high school,” he said. “If you are looking to do pretty much of anything other than service industry jobs, there are not a lot
of options here.”The EDP also plans to use
“Made in Hillsdale” to encour-age investment in the county.All this effort is an attempt
to halt the exodus of youth from Hillsdale county. The county pays, on average, $7000 per child per year of their primary education, Smith said. “The community has invested
a lot of money in each child, and for them to leave, well, that’s a big chunk of money that walks out of the county,” Smith said. The booklet will be distrib-
uted among junior high and high school students, aimed primarily
at sixth and seventh graders.“We are looking at the
younger population because they haven’t made their plan for high school yet,” Smith said. “Many times if you don’t know what is available you just go with what-ever. You don’t focus on picking your curriculum in high school because you don’t know what you are interested in.”Hillsdale College sophomore
Ethan Gehrke, who has lived in Hillsdale for more than four years, said that he could not see himself having a career in Hillsdale unless he was working for the college.
“Hillsdale has a dual nature,” he said. “First there is Hillsdale
Mayberry, its own thing –– but the second the college students leave for break it’s an entirely different place. It’s dead, there are not a lot of jobs, and not a lot of things to do.” Despite the lack of excite-
ment, Gehrke said Hillsdale is a good place to come back to. “This is the kind of place for
the content,” he said. “You’d better really love the relaxing lifestyle or you are going to go crazy.”
A question of $7,000 has cre-ated a tense situation for three counties and drawn Hillsdale College students into the drama. One commissioner said the
the Branch-Hillsdale-St. Joseph Community Health Agency.The three counties agreed in
1997 to pool money to fund their Community Health Agency, which provides a variety of services, including restaurant inspections, hearing and sight screenings for school children, and immunizations. Each county is supposed to pay the same amount of money, based on its population, said Hillsdale com-missioner Brad Densmore. The problem started when
Branch County chose not to pay the designated per-capita amount
for the people in its Coldwater prison, said Al Ringenberg, one of Hillsdale’s representatives on the Board of Health.The county is facing econom-
ic challenges, and excluding the prison population saves it more than $7,000, Ringenberg said. He added that they defend the decision by arguing that the state of Michigan should pay for the costs created by the prisoners.He said he disagrees with
their rationale.“I think that they should be
paying,” he said. “That’s my opinion. Or that we should revis-it the agreement that was created in ‘97 and maybe make some changes to it. And that’s fair.”Ringenberg said that since
Hillsdale includes college stu-dents in its per-capita calcula-tion, Branch County should include the prisoners.“I don’t see really a differ-
ence between college students and the prisoners,” he said. “We count you in our census if you were there on April 1.”Densmore said that Branch

Hillsdale City Council met in their regularly scheduled meeting on Feb. 6. By the end of the meeting, council had given a tax break to a local automotive plant, re-allocated money to the city’s on-demand bussing service, and re-contracted with a domestic violence shelter.T.I. Automotive, located at
200 Arch St., recently request-ed for an Industrial Facilities Tax exemption to help offset some of the cost of recent im-provements to their plant.T.I. produces fuel lines and
brake lines for Chrysler. In ad-dition, the Hillsdale factory is the single source of push rods in Chrysler and General Motor vehicles.Over the past few years,
T.I. has added 29 employees from Hillsdale County, an increase of about 55 percent. Because of this, Paula Miller, Hillsdale plant manager, requested the council approve the tax exemption of about $6,000 over 12 years.After the economic down-
turn of 2008, in which, Miller said, the automotive industry was especially hard hit, T.I. had sent much of its business
to Mexico. Since then, the Hillsdale plant has steadily been growing.“It’s a great story for Hill-
sdale County,” Miller said. “We’re moving jobs back to the United States.”Questions were raised by
councilman after City Manag-er Linda Brown revealed T.I. was currently engaged in liti-gation with the IRS over the assessment of their property.Miller had failed to tell
council about the litigation, but professed ignorance of the litigation herself.“I didn’t know [about the
suit] and when I find out I will give you a call,” Miller said.Despite initial concerns,
City Attorney Lew Loren told council the litigation would in no way come back to hurt the city and such assessment disputes are quite common, especially considering how volatile the real estate market has been of late.In the end council approved
the tax exemption, 9-0.Other news in City Council
this week:-Council approved the
mayor’s signature on allotting $55,000 for the city’s Dial-A-Ride service, the normal amount given for the on-de-
mand bussing program. Fares, which although subsidized by the city, have risen in recent years to about $3 for adults and $1.50 for seniors and chil-dren. Council commissioned the public services committee to look at Dial-A-Ride to see if the services can be in some way altered to lower the cost for riders. In the fiscal year, 28,091 calls have been made to the city bussing service.-Council approved a
contract worth $5,500 with Domestic Harmony, a local domestic violence shelter. Councilwoman Ruth Brown and councilman Scott Ses-sions originally proposed an amendment to contract $5,250 with the shelter despite $5,500 having already been planned in the yearly budget specifi-cally for Domestic Harmony. Councilmen Brian Watkins and Casey Sullivan proposed to amend the resolution and raise the contract to $5,500. Council first voted on the amendment and it passed, 5-4. They then voted on the contract itself and that passed as well, 9-0.-Council created the Com-
munications Committee in hopes of creating a communi-cations policy for the city.
For 10 local hunters, deer hunting season is different this year.The City of Hillsdale has
recruited these hunters in its third annual deer cull, an effort to cut down on the local deer population. The hunters have the whole month of February to shoot deer in designated areas on the outskirts of town. The meat –– thousands of pounds of venison –– will then be donated to local food pantries, said Chris Gutowski, Hillsdale’s director of
public safety.Citizens have been com-
plaining about Hillsdale’s deer problem for years, especially because of property damage and the danger of car accidents.For the second consecutive
year, the city received a grant for up to $5000 from the Hillsdale County Community Foundation to process the deer.The cull provided 3300
pounds of venison to local food banks last year.“The venison has been a huge
blessing,” said Amanda Shroats, director of the food pantry at
Hillsdale Assembly of God. “It’s been harder to feed everyone coming in because food prices are going up so it takes more do-nations to feed the same amount of people. In addition, we’re seeing more and more families coming in so there’s less avail-able for them.”Councilman Brian Watkins
said Hillsdale’s deer culling is exceptionally cheap and ef-
“To me, the Hillsdale stan-dard of deer culling is one that many communities could emu-late with great result,” he said.
Homegrown naturopathic doctor Beth Flowers-Mapes is available for health advice and questions once a month at the Hillsdale Natural Grocery on Broad Street.This month, her hours are
from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Feb. 11th.“People ask me anything
from the common cold to what to do for cancer,” she said.Pauline Salyer, the store’s
manager, said few students take advantage of Mapes’ free expertise.“I think it’s just mostly from
this area,” Salyer said. “I don’t notice too many college stu-dents coming to talk to her.”
Mapes is not completely unknown on campus, however.“A couple times last year
students were sick and called her,” Salyer said. “And she walked them through it.”Mapes works at the Coldwa-
ter Chiropractic and Wellness Center.“They really subscribe to
trying to do everything natu-rally,” Mapes’ friend Kathleen Ruddy, director of associates and special projects for the col-lege’s institutional advancement department, said of the Coldwa-ter center.Mapes said she encourages
people with more serious health problems to schedule a sit-down appointment, but she is com-pletely willing to do what she
can on the spot.“I always give somebody a
couple suggestions,” she said.

3-minute interviewFlowers-Mapes gives free health advice to
Hillsdalians at the Natural Grocery every month.
She works at the Coldwater Chiropractic and
Wellness Center.
Do a lot of people come in for health ad-
vice?
Quite a few. They tell people when I’m going to be there and people come in and ask me. If it’s too complicated, I tell people to make an appointment, but most of the time I give them a couple things to try.
How did you get involved in natural medi-
cine?
I had a health issue myself that I had exhaust-ed all my natural resources [for] when I was 18 years old, and somebody referred me to a naturo-pathic doctor — who I actually worked for [for] 17 years — and she had me straightened around in six months. So I decided to go to school for natural medicine and started working for her.
natural medicine over mainstream practices?
Natural medicine actually balances your body out and heals your problems on a slow basis.
With traditional medicine, all the drugs are either inhibitors or blockers –– they tend to mask the problem, where herbs actually heal it. Herbs have been around for thousands of years. Half of all drugs are taken off the market in 10 years because they are deemed unsafe.
Have you seen a lot of people turning to
natural medicine locally?
When I was working for Dolores Spence, 75 percent of our clientele was from out of town, and only 25 percent were from Hillsdale. [But] when I started working for Dolores in ’92, most of the people that we saw were on their last hope. They had exhausted all their medical resources and then turned to natural health. So by the time we got people they were in pretty bad shape. Where now things have totally turned. About
using natural health as a preventative.
Do you see people treating really serious
diseases naturally?
I have helped people get rid of tumors the size of softballs without any drugs. [But] people have to be very dedicated. They have to completely change their diet, and they are taking [herbal] pills every two or three hours. They have to pretty much go on a raw food diet. It is not for the faint of heart.

Chelsea and Kadie Lowery — who had four assists — allowed me to do so well.”According to Charney, the
win over Northwood was big because a lot of other league contenders lost crucial games on Saturday. There will most likely be three or four teams from the middle of the South Division vy-ing for two spots in the playoffs.Because of this tight race,
every one of the next games is critical for the Chargers.“We have to take it one game

What are the team’s goals going into conference?
16 — as we possibly can. The important thing is to swim fast in
many points as possible.
How long have you been involved with swimming?
I started doing competitive swimming when I was nine, so a long time. This is the last year of my career. It’s kind of hard to imagine life before swimming.
How do feel about tying up your swim career?
I’m excited to see what I can accomplish, hopefully go all lifetime bests — that would be great. Hopefully get in on some relays in conference because obviously only four people get to make the relays. We don’t really know [the relay teams] until the day of the meet because Coach only takes the four fastest people that day. So I’m excited for conference, and it’ll be a lot of fun. I’ll probably be more excited than I ever have been. It is kind of sad to think this will be my last hurrah, but it will be exciting to start new things after this.
What do you plan to do after college?
I’m currently looking for jobs so I don’t actually know where
What’s your ideal job?
Right now it’s just getting my feet wet in some business, re-ally anywhere, because I’d like to move up and be some kind of executive. I’m just not really sure what kind of industry and what — in the end — I’m really good at.
Do you feel this has been a successful season?

Oh, I think so. Coach is really good at recruiting. He picked up a great freshman class this year, and they are all doing
I think he’s going to do a great job of picking up another great class next year.
Do you have any advice to younger athletes as you’re heading

Oh man. Always take up opportunities. Never miss an oppor-tunity to get better. Even now, I’m still working on things that I’d like to improve, and this is the end. Just have fun and remember to enjoy every second of it.

“Something that came up for

she said. “If I could do ethnic,
cultural weddings, I would want
to put everything I have into
that. Whereas if I was doing tra-

Along with working to

Just like a stove does not make good food, a good camera
does not take beautiful photographs. After a delicious meal,
dinner guests do not compliment the cook on the quality of
her stove and the meal it made. Praise for a beautiful photo-
graph should not be heaped upon the instrument.
A better camera does not make a better photographer.
Someone with an eye for composition and a talent for expres-
sion through this medium can take a beautiful photograph
with a disposable camera. Similarly, thousands of dollars of
equipment does not necessarily give value to a photograph.
There is no denying that high-quality equipment is help-
ful. Professional lenses and camera bodies are tools to use,
just as a paintbrush or expensive paint serves an artist in his
craft. Photographers always desire the best equipment, not to
piece of work.
People don’t hire a photographer for quality equipment,
but for his or her eye and unique view of the world. As a
wedding and portrait photographer, I do not advertise what
is in my camera bag. No one cares what lens I use. What is
captured through the lens is what really matters.
A photographer is not a camera. A photographer is a set of
eyes, a mind, and a heart that sees the world in a unique way.
The goal of every photographer is to present his or her vision
in a compelling and profound way. It doesn’t matter how
many paychecks I spend on a camera. Photographs are not
beautiful because of the camera brand but because of the soul
capturing them.
So next time you see work by a photographer that you
really admire, don’t turn and complement the photographer’s
camera.
It can’t hear you.
