Charlevoix County Commissioners dubious over a $1,700 check for grant-writ-ing services identified dur-ing the Jan. 11, regular board meeting can rest easy.Several of the commission-ers were taken aback when they discov-

ered Charlevoix County Clerk Cherie Browe had been paid $1,700 for her work on securing a nearly $48,000 remonumentation grant in late 2011, but according to Charlevoix County Surveyor Lawrence Feindt, it was he who allocated the funding to Browe as is allowed under Michigan State law.“There is no question I did that,” he said in a telephone interview on Fri-day Jan. 13. “She didn’t even know what was going on with that particu-lar item.”That may explain Browe’s apparent confusion over why she was paid the money when questioned by com-missioners during the meeting.“As far as I’m concerned, it wasn’t usual and so I asked questions about it,” said Charlevoix County Com-missioner Shirlene Tripp (R-District 1), following the meeting, who ini-tially questioned the check which was listed in the county agenda packet. “In Northern Michigan it just seems like we have an awful lot of embezzling going on – the month before, I questioned why so many checks were going to Charter.”She added, “I really didn’t mean to hang her (Browe) out to dry. I have no doubt it will be straightened out.”

Boyne’s own extreme skier Ty Well-man will be back in Northern Michi-gan for a high-flying competition at the end of this month.Wellman, who has been skiing since he was 11 years old, is excited to see his friends, family and compete at one of the hills where he spent so many hours practicing.“We’re excited to be able to see him compete because we’re not able to travel all that much to watch him,” said Ty’s dad Jeff Wellman.Those looking to support Ty will be able to spot him by the pink bandan-as he wears in honor of his mother who has been fighting stage-four breast cancer for several years.“I’ve only competed once at Gay-lord, but I did train a lot on the half-pipe at the Otsego Club,” Ty said. “I’m feeling a little confident just because of the home-field advan-tage.”The 2012 USSA Revolution Tour will be in Gaylord from Jan. 30

Citizens, business owners and community leaders gathered on Thursday Jan. 12, to discuss the overall goals they would like to see achieved over the next couple of years in Boyne City.Boyne City Manager Michael Cain opened the event with a run-down of the previous goal-setting session from a couple years ago and what type, if any, progress has been made on those goals.“I look around with what I see as balanced growth – it hasn’t all happened in one sector,” he said of the highest priority, which was job creation and retention. “Over-

all, with what’s going on with the economy, I think we did fairly well with that.”Cain said a number of new busi-nesses have stayed, with several more businesses planning to open in the near future.The Dilworth Hotel was a top pri-ority and Cain said a lot of prog-ress has been made, but there is much work yet to be done.The Boyne Beach Club property, Cain said, has seen minor prog-ress and so too has broadband ac-cess.The DDA plan has been renewed and extended which, Cain said, helped set the tone for positive

It’s still a couple months from spring training, but several locals shared their memories of summer softball and their time with the Hor-ton Bay Generals.For many years the people of Horton Bay harbored those same thoughts as the Horton Bay Gen-erals began preparation for their Men’s slow pitch softball season.“The people in Horton Bay just loved the team,” said former team member Henry “Beano” Archey.The Horton Bay Generals team was formed in 1976 and managed by Jon Hartwell (deceased) until their change of venue in the early 1980s. “They would have parties at Jon

The Boyne City Commission re-viewed the status of complaints re-lating to the Kirtland Products wood pellet manufacturing facility during the regular Tuesday Jan. 10, meet-ing.Boyne City Planning Director Scott McPherson gave commissioners an overview of the situation before audience members spoke for and against the company.“Since the start of production of Kirtland Products we have had com-plaints about the operation,” he said. “While most of the complaints we have had in regards to noise there have also been concerns raised about odors and dust. In the Boyne City Zoning Ordinance the perfor-mance standards 21.78 addresses noise, odor, dust – similar types of nuisances. In addition the city also has a noise ordinance which specifi-cally addresses motors, fans, dryers, similar mechanisms, similar to what Kirtland has at their facility.”McPherson added, “It does seem pretty clear that they are in violation of that ordinance.”McPherson said the city has been in contact with Kirtland to ensure they are aware of the issues.“To their credit they have seemed to be proactive and sincere in their efforts to resolve these issues. How-ever, the impact is ongoing and it is unacceptable at certain levels and it does need to be remedied as soon as possible,” McPherson said. “If they do continue to violate the ordinances the city does have the ability to is-sue civil infractions or to request en-forcement orders.”Representatives from Kirtland Prod-ucts were in attendance.Audience members were instructed to keep their comments to five min-utes or fewer.“We are aware of the complaints and

What’s wrong with our economy?I’m not going to go into a long preamble to what got us here, I’m simply going to state the issues I see. 1. Labor-Reducing Technology—how many of us walking through our local gro-cery stores now scan our groceries through an automated check-out machine?Four, six, or even eight of these machines are

watched over by one checker who troubleshoots problems and wards off the temptation to “forget” to scan that loaf of bread, when before, each would have been manned by a paid worker. this is dupli-cated around the world in the form of automation ro-bots, computer technology, and a load of smart tech-nology. after all, do I need a secretary when I have an app named roberta on my android phone to remind me of my next appointment, update my Facebook, find me a recipe for chicken pot pie, and wish me a happy birthday? now what’s the solution? make a list of traditional entry-level jobs being eliminated by labor-reducing technology and offer an incentive to businesses for creating more of these jobs.2. People working who don’t need to work—We’ve all seen the type, and we’ve all heard the speech. “I don’t need to work, but I don’t want to sit at home all day.” this is the person whose spouse makes $250,000 per year, the family who makes twice that off of dividends, or the retiree with a nice pension who finds himself “bored” in his retirement. they work at the same places we do, only they aren’t rely-ing on that paycheck to put food in the fridge. should they be prohibited from getting jobs? of course not, everyone has a right to work and make money. should they be able to write volunteer hours off for their taxes? absolutely. they have something to do--volunteer for challenge mountain or another great charity--and they’re making money in the form of a write-off, but they aren’t taking a job from 24-year-old steve who has a wife, a kid, and a house payment.3. Inflation—I don’t have a solution for this one, I’m afraid, but I’ll explain the issue anyways. say they raise the minimum wage from $7.40 to $25 per hour. Well that’s great, because john the bagger at the

grocery store is now bringing home $4,000 instead of $1,184, right? Well that’s great, but the grocery store now needs to make another $2,816 just to break even, as will the gas stations, hardware stores, and municipalities. that means the grocer will raise the prices of milk and bread to compensate, the gas station will be charging more for gas, the hardware stores will charge more for pipe wrenches, and the municipalities will either up the price for services or take another millage, thereby increasing your taxes. so things come full cycle, and before you know it, we’re all making $4,000 a month, but we’re exactly where we were before because the price of every-thing else has gone up in the same proportion. But here’s the kicker--it isn’t quite that easy. during that year when I’m making $4,000 a month and milk is still only $2.49 and gas is still $3.79, life is good--so good, in fact, that I’m going to take out a loan for a house and a car. the bank will gladly give it to me too, because I’m making $50,000 per year with only $20,000 in expenses. But then, when that grocer raises their prices, they’re not just going to raise it to break even, they’re going to get it all done at once. they’re going to raise their prices higher to make up for this increase and the next one. and here I am making $50,000 per year and worse off than I was before. that’s inflation, but where’s the solution?4. Uncertainty—another vicious cycle begins here. people say that the solution to the problem is to give everyone money to spend and stimulate the economy. I’ve got bad news for you though, I’m not going to spend it, and chances are, neither will you. If I had $10,000, I might spend $1,000 of it. sure, I’d put food in the fridge, catch up on bills, and maybe even take my family out to a nice dinner to celebrate.then, remembering how horrible it feels to have such little money, I dramatically say, “never again!” I would put that other nine grand in the bank and leave it there for emergencies--and I mean real emer-gencies, because you never know when it’s going to get this bad again. there are, of course, many more issues in our economic system. I could rattle off the details--jobs are going to this country, food is going to that country, and there’s nothing left for us, right? In the end, one thing is going to fix this. people need to stop looking at the next two weeks and start looking at the next two years. If I’ve proven my point above, you’re thinking that this whole thing is a cycle, and that it will eventually come full-circle. It will. remem-ber that it wasn’t long ago that we had people in bread lines waiting for potatoes and onions.

I enjoyed a recent birth-day which ran over pro-fusely with su rp r i s e s , from start to finish. They were all planned and carried out by my fam-ily with one exception. At the time

I had no idea what was to follow or that its happening was unbelievable to my family members. They thought they had filled the day to overflowing without it. The only part of the day’s activities I had anything to do with was the selec-tion of a down town restaurant where I would be treated to dinner. I have to remind you here in Boyne with the exception of one granddaughter, her

husband and their four children all the rest of my family including my son, daughter, daughter-n-laws, son-in-law, grandchildren, great grand-children, nieces and nephews all live from one hundred to over seven hun-dred miles away. With this in mind I was only expecting six or seven at the dinner. And so it was when I entered the restaurant with Ray, only three of my family, along with my life-long friend, Grace were waiting to party with us. Unnoticed by me Ray slipped off to ask the waitress if after we finished our dinner if she would bring in a cupcake with candle for me. He explained it was my 90th birthday. Unfortunately she shook her head ‘no’; they had none. Much to his amazement, as we neared the end of our meal, a young mother and her son approached our table with a luscious slice of cheese cake, a candle flickering brightly to sit before me. They sang ‘Happy Birthday”.

I did not recognize either the woman or boy or anyone else seated at their tab le which was next to ours. I looked to Nancy, my daughter for an expla-nation but she only shook her head. Thanking the two we asked questions to discover we had never met. They simply had observed Ray seeking the cupcake and witnessed his disap-pointment over not being able to pur-chase one. The mother then sent her husband to another, nearby restaurant to purchase the cake with candle and her son to a nearby store to purchase the birthday card which accompanied the cake.I have written frequently about our small town’s amazing and continual care and love for each other. To me this was a beautiful example of what I am so aware of. I will never forget this act of kindness of that I am cer-tain.This amazing celebrations were just the beginning of an evening long se-ries of surprises as I was welcomed

into the arms of the entire wide spread members of my family and friends upon being driven to our church’s dining hall following our ‘family din-ner’. They had arrived throughout the day to create a beautiful celebration with flowers, yummy ice cream and toppings, cake and drinks. When the lights came on in the dark-ened hall I came as close to fainting as I ever have in my life. It was all so un-believable, as I had resigned myself to celebrating without them.We human beings come to believe it is what we find to give to another on special days like birthdays. How we wrap it, the color of the ribbon we tie it in and the beauty of the bow on its top. It makes no difference whether we are on a tight budget or that money is not a matter of concern. At least this is the way we think when the recipro-cate is a little one. As they age, some-where along the way the importance of a gift giving becomes of less im-portance. Instead we come to realize

something more than a gift wrapped present is what we want to give, rather our love in a more personal way. We want to share a hug, a kiss, a word of admiration and appreciation, a special time together, even with others. And so it is we drive distances to share our hugs, attend special events seated side-by-side, exchange something we have made, found among our ‘spe-cial’ collections or what has become a family treasure. Recently I gave a grandson the gold pocket watch his great, great grandfather, a Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road engineer carried aboard with him. It still ran.But most of all the sharing of advice, needs and encouragement can make another’s special day shine in a way nothing else can touch. Or pulling off a celebration in absolute secrecy as my family did for me. Even Ray contributed to the secret – he never slipped and dropped a hint. Unbeliev-able!

Charlevoix County BracketMARCH MADNESSThey may have

been able to

break the sound

barrier, but the

sad fact is that fire always wins

over wood. Like Shakespeare

said: “Their bark was worse

than their bite.” Well, maybe it

wasn’t Shakespeare after all.

BC Kirtland Products takes on Boyne City in a classic game of “Parse-That-Ordinance! Kirt-land narrowly skates by citing BC’s lack of a sound ordinance.

What originally looked like a slam-dunk for folks opposed to the City of Charlevoix fire place resulted in an old-fashioned blow-out for those in favor of fire.

It was a rocky start for the folks against a new bike trail but you can never underestimate the power of a good protest—or jumpshot!. Private property rights won the day.

Gazette Editor Benj. Gohs put up a pathetic performance against the battle of the bulge. The game automatically stopped due to the 1,000-1 mercy rule.

The non-motorized trail oppo-nents may have won the battle against the trail, but that left them vulnerable to attack in the war on health. In a fourth-quar-ter showdown it would be sedin-tary lifestyle that wins the day.

When it comes to a non-sensical battle between an outdoor fireplace and a cupcake representing ill-health, the standard rule is to always bet on the cupcake. Cupcake over Fireplace 62-27.

Gazette Publisher Chris Faulknor has been plagued all season with car troubles. Whether he’s sliding down his driveway backwards or doing 360s on Pleasantview Road, he was severly outmatched.

When it comes to taking on the United Nations, nobody is as tough as Rep. Greg MacMaster. Greggy-Mac dominated Agenda 21 in the first quarter and never let up!

AM 1270’s Vic McCarty squared off against the TCFamily.org folks in yet another battle over civil liberties. McCarty retained his title of “Alpha Male” in a classic slobberknocker reminiscent of Muhammad Ali vs. ... anyone!

Known for his sometimes salty language, Charlevoix County Commissioner Rich Gillespie has had a colorful season—and the playoffs were no different. No amount of duct tape could hold back this seasoned veteran.

If he can best an evil crime syndicate like the United Na-tions then he can easily master the art of driving. McMaster breazed through the second round of play without so much as a fender-bender.

When it comes to hot air, McCarty

and Gillespie are the titans of talk!

The Beaver Island native’s no

nonsense attitude carried him

too much.

vs.

In one of the great all-time battles of big foreheads and even bigger egos, the earth shook during third-round play as MacMaster went head-to-head with McCarty. In the end it would be the Radio Man who won out against the Weather Man.

Resident couch potato Benjamin Gohs opted to cre-ate this bracket in lieu of an opinion column this week because he finds baskeball tedious.

Local radio host Vic Mc-Carty versus a fictional cupcake ... truly a clash of the titans. In what will ul-timately be dubbed “The Forehead vs. The Frosting” McCarty’s talent for ver-bosity was no match for this plucky little cake from the South Bronx.

opinions on this or any topic to editor@boynegazette.com.What's wrong with the econo-my?Nothing … and everything.The cycle of boom and bust, bubble and depression, private profit and government bailout has been around since the in-vention of modern capitalism.Before we go any further it is necessary to get a few things straight: there is no such thing as a free market (unless you want to chase wildebeest on the savannah with the rest of the lionesses.); government regu-lation is necessary to a healthy economy and a safe society; and capitalism is not flawless.What's a boy to do when caught between hyper-controlling forces that seek to regulate everything right down to the recommended number of TP squares … and the followers of Friedman and Smith who are certain that anarchical rapacity won't result in a poverty-strick-en Middle Class?Before you start to hyperven-tilate, consider this: we—all of us—have been conditioned from birth to believe that capi-talism is perfect; mere ques-

tioning of its supremacy is evi-dence enough of your furtive allegiance to the sinister “isms.”The economy is driven by a thousand factors and a thou-sand more. Many work tire-lessly to merely subsist, while some enjoy luxury unearned.While we blame each other's politicians for high unemploy-ment, Wall Street continues to rake record returns.The Dems say “Raise the mini-mum wage!” while the GOP says “Indescriminantly cut taxes!”Meanwhile, neither move will increase the number or quality of jobs.Blame politicians, if you must, for our most recent recession but it was exacerbation of an

existing slump brought on by greedy banks and deadbeat bor-rowers—did you really think you could afford a $250k house on your quickie-mart pay?I say “slump” but it's really the norm. After all, the devaluation of labor, exploitation of limited resources, monopolistic prac-tices, and leverage by legacy is nothing new to kings, pharaohs, dictators or robber barons (the PC term is “job creator.”)These titans of economic tyr-anny cheat the system by oper-ating straw storefronts on U.S. soil while employing foreign labor to create their ill-gotten goods. Then, they have the gall to flood the market with their artificially inexpensive gew-

gaws, adding insult to injury with the accusation that we are addicted to cheap goods!As a small business owner who understands the value of hard work and a desire to get my slice of the proverbial pie I advocate not for hand-outs or redistributed wealth, but for an opportunity for my fellow man to work a job where he can sup-port his family.The outsourcing of jobs tech-nically began back in the 1800s—well before those evil labor unions existed—but only became a mode of doing busi-ness in the 20th Century. It re-ally began to pick up in the 1970s, and critical mass was probably reached about the time Customer Service Agent

John Smith developed a thick New Delhi accent.Despite all the talk about swell Reaganomics and the Clinton-era tech bubble, the economy from the American worker's perspective has been

lackluster for decades and stag-nant for nearly a century.According to CNNmoney.com, incomes for the wealthiest one percent of Americans—earn-ers of $380,000 or more—have enjoyed income growth of 33 percent in the last two decades.There is most certainly a class war in America but it was not the poor who fired the first—or the thousandth—shot!If you attended public school in America at any time during the last 100-or-so years you're probably saying: but, Gohs, you filthy rotten communist, the only way to ensure unbri-dled fiscal powerhouses behave

themselves is by creating less over-sight. After all, capitalism depends on a free market. (This is the per-fect spot for a cautionary dream sequence wherein I pass out at my keyboard to the echoes of “Market, ‘arket, ‘arket” only to awaken to a vision of Ayn Rand, who proceeds to elucidate the evils of hedgemony.)America has never been—I beg those of you of weak constitution to read no further—a “free market.”From this country's inception our political leaders knew governmen-tal protections were necessary to create a just and equitable society. Many of the founding politicians (take a whiff of smelling salts and everything will be OK) and their an-cestors had fled England because it lacked regulation. The king of Eng-land operated in a free market—he was free to do as he pleased—and the 99 percent suffered greatly for it.While we rightly decry unjust eco-nomic regulations—like subsidies to oil companies and unjustly pro-hibitive zoning—there are a great many regulations which behoove us, and that we would never con-sider eliminating.The truth of the matter is that our form of capitalism has always been a hybrid of individualism, private innovation, municipal intercession and collectivism; it works because of, not in spite of, our kooky little monetary melange.While some may balk, I'd wager folks are glad the Fair Labor Stan-dards Act of 1938—which outlawed child slavery, indentured servitude and child labor—were ended. Re-publican President Teddy Roos-evelt busted up monopolies to give the little guy a chance, and shelved prime real-estate so we would have national parks forever and ever. Thanks to business regulations we also enjoy a cleaner environ-ment, fresh water, truth (OK, even I laughed at this one) in advertising, patents, trademarks and copyrights to protect intellectual properties and inventions, prevention of discrimi-nation in hiring, housing and educa-tion, food and drug safety rules, and a slew of other statutes including orders to ensure affordable water, electricity and natural gas.Hey, I get it, party lines make for in-tractable opinions … but we're all in this together. OK, smart guy, how do we solve these problems?the following suggestions aren't the only answers but they'd be a good start: • Listen to Dave Ramsey—he's smart, honest and gives free financial advice.

• No more credit cards—most of us cannot go out and buy a house or car outright, I get that. But, this country has impulse-purchased itself into unfathomable debt.• Cut government spending—We'd all have a little more money in our pockets if publicly funded frivolity and stupidity were eliminated … but, only after examining every public budget to determine its level of necessity and waste.• No more free rides for big businesses—if you want to sell your wares in america you must

make all or most of your products and services here.• Cut all foreign aid—not forever, but at least until we get our own finances in order.• No more freeloading for citizens—mandate all able-bodied welfare recipients participate in some form of public works. I don't care if they're sweeping sidewalks or re-striping the roads. If you cannot find a job but are able to work you need to pitch in.• War as a last resort—this one should need no explanation.

editor: We at the Boyne Valley Knights of Columbus want to congratu-late these Boyne City students, Heather Judkins-Ladd, Eleri Giem, and Madison Morgan for their fine efforts at the Knights of Columbus State Spelling Bee Finals in Saginaw. These students were a part of the Diocesan finalists from the seven Michigan Diocesan that included four finalists from the seven Michigan Diocese, and from Boyne City, we had three of those finalists. Boyne City should be very proud of these students. It was an honor and a difficult accomplishment among very tough completion to even be able to compete. They competed well against the very best in the State and did a fine job.John CzarnieckiGrand KnightBoyne Valley Council #6314

Heck of a Decaeditor:I was once again impressed by the student of BSHS DECA Chapter and the student finalists who attended this year’s State Competition. Not only were each and every one of them polite, conscientious and well dressed, they were prepared. Few people in our community understand what this organiza-tion is all about. It is an amazing opportunity for any student who is interested in business. The amount of preparation, re-search and in some events, im-plementation (Learn and Earn) they get to test their wings. Everything from business plans, to marketing to operations, these kids make presentations, role play and learn the proper way to interview, the structure a company and so much more. The ad visors and volun-

teers help to rehearse the kids, iron their shirts and help se-lect the proper business attire. As a judge (I participated in both the regional and state level) I met so many kids (2700 kids attend-ed from all over MI), the ner-vousness, the beginning of confi-dence to the admission of failure and how to restructure, the cali-ber of the talent was amazing! Long rides and waits for el-evators gave me a chance to ask where the kids were from. Each and everyone made eye contact and proudly told me where their schools were from! Rarely do these kids (we had 13 participate) get the recogni-tion many of the others do. If you aren’t familiar with this program find out about it ... these kids are our future and they want to learn and excel. Congratulations to each and ev-ery one of our students who went you made Boyne City proud.Cindi MalinBoyne City

two of the commissioners of the County of Charlevoix ap-proached me and asked me if I would be interested in becoming the director,” said Messer. “I knew that I had only a cou-ple of more years to work with so I wanted to invest those into something more important.” Messer brought a wealth of ex-perience to Charlevoix County when he came to work as the director, having served as the di-rector for the Charlevoix, Che-boygan, and Emmet Office of Emergency Management, Direc-tor of Emergency Services with the Sanilac County Sheriff’s Department, Chief of Police and

City Manager for the City of Sandusky, Ohio, as well as the Michigan State Police.During Messer’s tenure the Commission on Aging was faced with a budget shortfall, during which he and his staff circumvented an economic cri-sis by changing the policies that the Commission had in place.Messer spearheaded the passage of an increase in the Charlevoix County Senior Millage in No-vember 2012.“I think that the passage of the senior millage was really impor-tant,” Messer said. “It allows the department to con-tinue offering its services. The Senior population is growing, and this is just a real blessing.”He added, “That passage showed that the seniors are important to us, and it was the high point of

my time because it impacts ev-erything.”The Charlevoix County Com-mission on Aging provides in-home respite, homemaking and personal care services, assess-ment services, congregate and in-home meals, health and well-ness programs, and senior center operations services to residents of Charlevoix County over the age of 60.Just because he is retiring, that doesn’t mean that it’s the end of the road for Messer.“I will continue to serve in some council or volunteering after this,” said Messer. “I just know that I am going to continue to work in some public service—I’m hoping that I will be able to do something.”“It’s been a really great experi-ence for me working this job

but the rewards are the smiles on the faces on the seniors that we’ve been able to help,” said Messer. “That’s been intangible. I’ve been invited to the seniors’ houses and they’ve been sharing their stories with me.”Messer also writes a piece ev-ery month in the Commission on Aging’s Newsletter, which is called The Director’s Com-ments.Interviews of five candidates for the COA Director position took place last week. Charlevoix County Human Resources Coordinator Kevin Shepard is expected to report the findings of the interviews to the Charlevoix County Building & Grounds Committee at its next meeting.Messer is expected to officially retire at the end of this month.

the roads, disallowing them from working on the ferry as much.” He added, “The speculation is that it could be delayed 20 to 30 days.”Work on the ferry began back in November 2012 with plans to move the control center, or wheelhouse; rebuild the tired 1978 diesel engine; and com-pletely rewire the craft.“This is a serious refurbishment that has been long put off,” Gil-lespie said. “We didn’t want to be late getting it completed but circumstances are out of our con-trol.”He added, “I think people will really appreciate what we have when it’s done ... and their pa-tience will definitely be appreci-ated because it isn’t easy and it needed to be done.”A crew of men removed the old wheelhouse on Friday March 22. It will be donated—as was the last engine—to the Northern Michigan Antique Flywheelers in Walloon Lake where it will be displayed among other historic items.A new wheelhouse will be built, the new diesel-powered hydrau-lic power plant will be more en-vironmentally-friendly than the 1978 model, and the ferry will be able to operate further into the winter season, if deemed neces-sary, due to its self-contained cooling system; the old engine was cooled by taking in lake wa-ter.The ferry, which generally opens on or around April 15 of each year and closes around Thanks-giving, has made nearly 700,000 trips during its lifetime.According to Gillespie, the ferry continues to operate through user fees, which helped generate the fund balance to pay for improve-ments.“We’re hoping to get the vessel completely refurbished for under $200,000,” he said. “It’s fair to say that if we weren’t refurbish-ing what we have it would be well over a million dollars.”The ferry is Coast Guard-ap-proved to haul four cars at a time. And, for the first time, it will be rated for its hauling ability.“It is a significant improvement that we will have a stability let-ter—which is a weight rating to avoid capsizing—that will be an exact measurement of the ship’s capacity,” Gillespie said. “The Coast Guard has been pressing

us to do this for years but there was no way of doing it previously.”He added, “It will make it much safer and it will

be easier to re-certify the ship every five years when we go through our Coast Guard inspec-tion.”The ferry improvements are be-ing funded through the ferry’s operational fund. Currently the ferry is located at the Boyne City boat launch and the new wheel-house is being built.“When the ferry is complete they’ll notice how much safer and convenient it is to embark and disembark,” Gillespie said. “It will be a great improvement to the county that should be in service for another 85 years.”

Boyne City has been selected as one

of only eight cities across the state

for the Michigan Economic Devel-

opment Corporation’s (MEDC) Re-

(RRC) program.

Boyne City’s application to the RRC

program—a course that provides ap-

proved municipalities with in-depth

assessments, a report of findings

and support for the implementation

of recommended strategies needed

to achieve certification—was an-

nounced on March 7.

“The program measures and then

certifies communities that integrate

transparency, predictability and ef-

ficiency into their daily development

practices,” says the MEDC. “The

RRC certification is a formal recog-

nition that a community has a vision

for the future and the fundamental

practices in place to get there.”

According to the MEDC, 36 com-

munities applied for evaluation.

“We are excited to take this valuable

they would be dealing with bud-

session on Tuesday March 19.

“I was trying to think of some-

phrase that I would use to sum up

(the budget) … is ‘Maintain the

Charlevoix County Commissioners

dubious over a

$1,700 check

for grant-writ-

ing services

identified dur-

ing the Jan. 11,

regular board

meeting can

rest easy.Several of the

commission-

ers were taken

aback when

they discov-

ered Charlevoix County Clerk Cherie

Browe had been paid $1,700 for her

work on securing a nearly $48,000

remonumentation grant in late 2011,

but according to Charlevoix County

Surveyor Lawrence Feindt, it was he

who allocated the funding to Browe

as is allowed under Michigan State

law.“There is no question I did that,” he

said in a telephone interview on Fri-

day Jan. 13. “She didn’t even know

what was going on with that particu-

lar item.”That may explain Browe’s apparent

confusion over why she was paid the

money when questioned by com-

missioners during the meeting.

“As far as I’m concerned, it wasn’t

usual and so I asked questions about

it,” said Charlevoix County Com-

missioner Shirlene Tripp (R-District

1), following the meeting, who ini-

tially questioned the check which

was listed in the county agenda

packet. “In Northern Michigan it just

seems like we have an awful lot of

embezzling going on – the month

before, I questioned why so many

checks were going to Charter.”

She added, “I really didn’t mean to

hang her (Browe) out to dry. I have

no doubt it will be straightened out.”

Boyne’s own extreme skier Ty Well-

man will be back in Northern Michi-

gan for a high-flying competition at

the end of this month.

Wellman, who has been skiing since

he was 11 years old, is excited to see

his friends, family and compete at

one of the hills where he spent so

many hours practicing.

“We’re excited to be able to see him

compete because we’re not able to

travel all that much to watch him,”

said Ty’s dad Jeff Wellman.

Those looking to support Ty will be

able to spot him by the pink bandan-

as he wears in honor of his mother

who has been fighting stage-four

breast cancer for several years.

“I’ve only competed once at Gay-

lord, but I did train a lot on the half-

pipe at the Otsego Club,” Ty said.

because of the home-field advan-

tage.”The 2012 USSA Revolution Tour

Citizens, business owners and

community leaders gathered on

Thursday Jan. 12, to discuss the

overall goals they would like to

see achieved over the next couple

of years in Boyne City.

Boyne City Manager Michael

Cain opened the event with a run-

down of the previous goal-setting

session from a couple years ago

and what type, if any, progress

has been made on those goals.

“I look around with what I see

as balanced growth – it hasn’t all

happened in one sector,” he said

of the highest priority, which was

job creation and retention. “Over-

all, with what’s going on with the

economy, I think we did fairly

well with that.”

Cain said a number of new busi-

nesses have stayed, with several

more businesses planning to open

in the near future.

The Dilworth Hotel was a top pri-

ority and Cain said a lot of prog-

ress has been made, but there is

much work yet to be done.

The Boyne Beach Club property,

Cain said, has seen minor prog-

ress and so too has broadband ac-

The Boyne City Commission re-

viewed the status of complaints re-

lating to the Kirtland Products wood

pellet manufacturing facility during

the regular Tuesday Jan. 10, meet-

ing.Boyne City Planning Director Scott

McPherson gave commissioners

an overview of the situation before

audience members spoke for and

against the company.

“Since the start of production of

Kirtland Products we have had com-

plaints about the operation,” he said.

“While most of the complaints we

have had in regards to noise there

have also been concerns raised

about odors and dust. In the Boyne

City Zoning Ordinance the perfor-

mance standards 21.78 addresses

noise, odor, dust – similar types of

nuisances. In addition the city also

has a noise ordinance which specifi-

cally addresses motors, fans, dryers,

similar mechanisms, similar to what

Kirtland has at their facility.”

McPherson added, “It does seem

pretty clear that they are in violation

of that ordinance.”

McPherson said the city has been in

contact with Kirtland to ensure they

are aware of the issues.

“To their credit they have seemed

to be proactive and sincere in their

efforts to resolve these issues. How-

ever, the impact is ongoing and it is

unacceptable at certain levels and it

does need to be remedied as soon as

possible,” McPherson said. “If they

do continue to violate the ordinances

the city does have the ability to is-

sue civil infractions or to request en-

forcement orders.”

Representatives from Kirtland Prod-

ucts were in attendance.

Audience members were instructed

to keep their comments to five min-

utes or fewer.

The Boyne City Commission vot-

hearing—slated for 7 p.m. on March

26—on the proposal to buy five acres

of waterfront property.

The discussion on the matter arose

after a prominent Boyne City family

offered to sell five acres of its Boyne

Riverfront property to the city—but,

not all are enthused with the idea of

taking private property off the tax

rolls.“I haven’t run into anybody that

has said we don’t have enough park

area,” said Boyne City Commission-

er Derek Gaylord.

The plot would give the city 575 feet

of lake frontage along the Boyne

River north of Spring Street.

Gaylord said that, histori-

cally, when the funds are available it

is hard to say no.

life, and my entire family has been involved with them in some way as well,” said Don Cowell. “My grandfather owned Cowell’s Dray Lines on Mackinac Island and my father was a blacksmith.”Cowell is a certified farrier him-self, and at one point was involved with the rodeo, participating with the Bulls and Broncs.Boyne Valley Equine Tours & Services also does logging with horses, as it has less impact on the environment.“I’ve been doing logging with horses since I was in my early 20s,” said Cowell.

Currently Boyne Valley Equine Tours & Services is in the process of trying to get more convenient ar-eas for their riders.“We’re always looking for new places to ride that are convenient for the riders,” said Boyne Valley

Equine Tours & Services General Manager Becky Kuebler. “We sent in a proposal to Boyne City Parks and Recreation about doing rides at Avalanche Park.”According to city officials, the re-

quest is being considered.“The city is going to take the prop-er steps and have a meeting with them to make sure that this is all going to work,” said Andy Kovol-ski Director of Boyne City Public Works.You can request use of the horses by appointment with a 24-hour no-tice.“This is a business that is done all year-round, but we just have to pay attention to surroundings, you have to watch snow depths and avoid hills,” said Kuebler. “When you’re around the woods sometimes the snow settles in pretty deep, and if you’re not familiar with the terrain it can cause problems.”For more information or to make reservations please call Don at (231) 203-1626 or go to www.boy-nevalleyets.com.

calls.“It helps us in a lot of ways. Any

time we get to a call it’s i m p o r t a n t for the offi-cer to recall that infor-mation … and with the video cam-era it does recall word for word if

that’s needed,” Gaither said. “We can use these videos in court for things we see and the camera sees. We can use them as a liability as-set for ourselves: people claim po-lice officers do things to them on occasion and on occasion police officers, in general, do things to people—fortunately we haven’t had those incidents in Boyne City.”He added, “We go back and review the videos and we can show people or take them to court and defend ourselves.”Gaither said the cameras are unob-trusive and the cameras record both video and audio.The officers are not required to turn their cameras on at the beginning of

their shift.“It is selective to a point,” Gaither said. “We may get that: how come this particular thing wasn’t record-ed and everything else you did was recorded? That’s something I’ll have to address with the officers.” He added, “The problem of coming up with a policy saying you’ll turn this on at the beginning of your shift is that the cameras are not reliable enough to do that.”Gaither said there are instances where the officers believe they have turned the camera on but—due to the battery having not been charged or the memory card not having been inserted—they do not record.For those worried about compro-mising video of themselves being released to the media, Gaither said he has protocols in place to help ensure that private information and images are not released through Freedom of Information Act re-quests.“It’s important that we capture that video but we are cognizant of what video is actually captured,” he said. “We go into people’s houses and we invade into their space some-times. We go to a traffic stop and the officer may be looking in and somebody may be going through their wallet or their purse and some of their personal information … is being captured on the camera.” Gaither added, “If we get a FOIA

request for video of a traffic stop, well, some of that has to be screened out because it’s personal informa-tion. Or, personal information in somebody’s house. You’re walking around their house and they may not be clothed properly or they may have something they don’t want the public to see, so we’re cognizant of that also.”Gaither said his police force walk the line between capturing every-thing they need and respecting the privacy of the citizenry.The police department also pur-chased two DVR (Digital Video Recording) systems to use with their 10 spy cameras. The police de-partment uses these cameras to help businesses record unusual activity.“We use these … when we get calls from businesses; maybe they’re having an issue … where some-body’s trying to break into a busi-ness, we can set these cameras up,” Gaither said. “The lens is actually a pinhole … they’re tiny. We can put them in a ceiling tile, we can put them in a wall, we can conceal them in many different places.”The police formerly used a VHS system that implemented a video cassette tape that could record up to 48 hours of video.“This one will let us capture up to 12 months of video, so you can see a significant increase in recording and that’s important to us,” Gaither

said. “We don’t have to be obtru-sive in somebody’s business. We don’t have to go back every day and review a tape to see if something happened.”The new system also utilizes a mo-

tion capture system that can take pictures and video only when activ-ity is present.The body cameras cost roughly $50 each and each officer is equipped with his own camera.

McLaren Northern Michigan Hosts Free Bariatric Surgery Seminars in Petoskey and Boyne CityIn conjunction with its bariatric surgery weight loss p r o g r a m , McLaren Northern M i c h i -gan is offering a free bariatric s u r g e r y seminar in Petoskey and Boyne City. Because one size or procedure does not fit all patients, several new weight loss options will be the focus of the presenta-tion, titled “Bariatric Sur-gery and Obesity: What are my choices?” The seminars will take place from 6 - 7 p.m. on Monday, April 1 at the John and Marnie Demmer Wellness Pavilion and Di-alysis Center located at 820 Arlington Avenue on the Lockwood-MacDonald campus in Petoskey and 6 – 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 2 at the Boyne City District Library at 201 E. Main Street in Boyne City.

The benefits of bariatric surgery far outweigh the risks associated with obe-sity including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, osteoarthritis, and several cancers. In fact, bariatric surgery is

the only sig-nificant

o p -

t i o n that ac-

tually cures diabetes. Studies are

showing that bariatric sur-gery saves lives, improves overall health and well-be-ing, and saves money.The free seminars will in-clude discussion on the new surgical weight loss options available through McLaren Northern Michi-gan, as well as surgical qualifications and the multi-disciplinary ap-proach solely focused on the best outcome for each individual patient.Pre-registration is re-quired. Register by calling 877.568.5598 or northern-health.org/CREG.

Spring has finally ar-rived, ac-cording to the calendar. Of course, you would never know it, as we had been pound-ed with snow during spring week. Love that unpredict-able Michi-gan weather!The moon is full today, March 27.

On March 28, 1802, Heinrich Olbers discovered the large asteroid Pallas, and on March 28, 1807, the asteroid Vesta was also discovered by him. Also on March 128, 1974, the Mari-ner 10 spacecraft did the first ever Mercury flyby. The first photo of the Sun was taken on April 2, 1845.I thought I would make this column somewhat “newsy” by highlighting a few interesting things going on in space and the status of some of the more well known NASA missions. Believe it or not, there are well over a hundred NASA probes, spacecrafts, and orbiting satellites still active! Voyager 1, launched in September, 1977, has almost reached interstel-lar space. Scientists have been care-fully following the craft all this time. Even though it’s traveling at over 30,000 mph, it still has not quite left the solar system at over 18 billion ki-lometers from the Sun. In December 2012, the Voyager sci-ence team reported that Voyager 1 is within a new region called ‘the magnetic highway’ where energetic particles changed dramatically. A change in the direction of the mag-netic field is the last critical indica-tor of reaching interstellar space and that change of direction has not yet been observed. The scientists feel that that Voyager will finally enter interstellar space in the next several months. You may know that this spacecraft carries a gold record and player called the “Sounds of Earth”, announcing our presence to the universe.Mars lander “Curiosity” is back in

safe “shutdown mode” for some mi-nor computer problems. Although still communicating with Earth, it will not resume its science mission until these problems are ironed out. The latest drilling samples shows minerals that would have existed in a warm, slightly salty ocean—like-ly “indistinguishable” from early Earth. Curiosity cannot directly detect life, but can find and measure the chemicals and compounds that life could have arisen from.STEREO (Solar Terrestrial Rela-tions Satellite) is actually two satel-lites; one is in orbit ahead of Earth and the other in a trailing orbit be-hind Earth. They photograph and measure solar activity from two angles, and give spectacular pictures and warnings of large, potentially dangerous solar flares. Satellites like these also give us a “heads up” when the Northern lights might be active.The Cassini probe has spent the last

eight years in the Saturnian system. Its recent finding show that the water jetting off Enceladus in huge geysers is very much like Earth ocean water and probably comes from a deep ocean totally covering the moon in a thick ice shell. What heats Enceladus to keep the oceans liquid (it is so far from the Sun, that almost no heat or light is present) is not totally clear, but is likely due to Saturn’s might gravity churning the core of the small moon. Does some sort of life exist in these dark, deep oceans?No one knows yet.When warm weather finally returns, spend some time outside and notice how the winter constellations are setting in the west quite early in the evening, and the spring constella-tions are becoming more prominent. We will talk about these next week. Until then, clear skies and keep look-ing up!

Legislative activityY = Yes, N = No, X = Not Voting• House Bill 4369, Codify “edu-cation achievement authority” for failed schools: Passed 57 to 53 in the HouseTo codify in statute the powers and structure of a state “education achievement authority” (already created by means of an adminis-trative “interlocal agreement”), which is an office in the Department of Education tasked with managing, overseeing or contracting-out the op-erations of public schools deemed to have failed academi-cally.105 Rep. Greg Mac-Master R - Kewadin Y

• House Bill 4093, Make perma-nent a federally-imposed drunk driving standard: Passed 110 to 0 in the HouseTo make permanent the 2003 de-crease in the drunk driving intoxi-cation threshold (from .10 to .08 grams of alcohol per 100 millili-ters of blood) that was mandated by the federal government as a condition of federal road funding.105 Rep. Greg MacMaster R - Kewadin Y

• House Bill 4378, Repeal interior designer registration: Passed 110 to 0 in the HouseTo repeal a law that establishes a government interior designer registry and makes it available to state or local government agen-cies. To be included on the regis-try a designer must have passed a test created by a national orga-nization of incumbent interior designers. This organization has sought repeatedly in this state to impose a full licensure and regula-tory regime on interior designers, with several bills introduced in previous legislatures. The bill was amended to leave in place a pecu-liar provision “allowing” interior designers provide design services (explicit government permission is generally not required to prac-tice a non-licensed occupation in this country).105 Rep. Greg MacMaster R - Kewadin Y

• House Bill 4320, Expand forest property tax breaks: Passed 94 to 16 in the House To expand the eligibility for prop-erty tax breaks granted to owners of smaller forest property par-cels (a separate program gives breaks to large “industrial” forest tracts and requires those owners to allow public recreational ac-cess). The bill would also double the number of acres eligible for these smaller “qualified forest” tax breaks from 1.2 million to 2.4 million statewide, authorize a new 2 mill property tax on prop-erty in this program that would go to proposed “Private Forestland Enhancement Fund” to subsidize

private forestland management activities, and revise other details of this program.105 Rep. Greg MacMaster R - Kewadin Y

• Senate Bill 252, Authorize state subsidies for marina dredging projects: Passed 106 to 4 in the

House To appropriate $1 mil-

lion for state sub-sidies to private

marinas for harbor dredg-ing. The state would pay 5 percent of bank loans of

up to $500,000 per marina.

Perhaps the most newsworthy committee events this week in-volved “non-actions” by appro-priations subcommittees related to next year’s budget. Specifical-ly, budget bills advanced by these committees did not include plans to spend $1.2 billion from new road money taxes Gov. Snyder has requested. Also, they did not include plans to spend money the state would get from the fed-eral government for an optional Medicaid medical welfare pro-gram expansion that is part of the federal health care law (widely referred to as “Obamacare”), meaning that majorities on these committees are not prepared to commit the state to that expan-sion.These are the very first steps in a budget process that will not be completed before June, and dur-ing which these items may be revived. A related “non-event” was the Senate choosing not to vote on House Bill 4111, passed by the House on Feb. 28, which would appropriate $30.5 million in federal grant money to set up a consumer assistance call center associated with insurance sub-sidies provided by the federal health care law.In the previous week, House committees advanced several bills of interest: -- House Bill 4026, the reintro-duction of a unanimously-passed bill vetoed by Gov. Snyder last year to require to require state agencies local governments to review the constitutionality of cross-border agreements with the federal government or another state. -- House Bill 4249, to preempt local governments from adopt-ing ordinances or policies that re-quire private sector employers to provide paid or unpaid employee leave that is not required under state or federal law.Thursday was the last session day before the Legislature retires for a two-week spring break.SOURCE: MichiganVotes.org

Report ranks Michi-gan 8th in nation for clean energy jobsmichigan was ranked 8th in the country for the number of clean energy and clean transportation jobs, according to a report released Wednesday by environmental entrepreneurs (e2), a nation-wide network of business leaders who advocate for policies that benefit both the economy and the environment.companies and communities announced 19 projects in michigan last year that together are poised to create more than 3,700 jobs, according to the e2 report.one of the companies spotlighted in the e2 re-port was holland-based energetx composites. the West michigan yacht designer and manufac-turer transitioned its business to construct wind turbine blades that are sold across the globe. the company employs 118 people and is poised to grow, according to the e2 report. the e2 report comes as Gov. rick snyder’s ad-ministration is holding energy forums across the state, including one this week in Bay county, to collect information that will shape michigan’s en-ergy policy moving forward. the michigan public service commission reported in February that

investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency are driving down costs and creating local jobs.nationwide, more than 300 clean energy and clean transportation projects that are expected to create 110,000 jobs were announced in 2012, according to the e2 report.

“It’s now crystal-clear that clean energy and clean transportation are helping our economy recover,” said judith albert, executive director of environmental entrepreneurs. “smart policies and regulatory certainty – at both the federal and state levels – drive economic growth. If 2012 taught us anything, it’s that if america wants to keep creating good, clean energy jobs, we need good, clean energy policies.”For the complete report as well as a searchable, state-by-state database of clean energy job an-nouncements, see www.e2.org/cleanjobs.

State Rep. Greg MacMaster said legislation allocating almost $21

million for emergency d r e d g i n g of public harbors in M i c h i g a n is just a few short steps from final approval.The House overwhelm-

ingly approved the supplemental budget bill on Wednesday and the Senate approved some technical changes today before sending it on

for Gov. Rick Snyder’s consider-ation.“The dredging issue has been a pri-ority of mine since I became a state representative two years ago, so seeing it reach a conclusion will be a positive outcome for Michigan’s tourism and recreation industry,” said MacMaster, R-Kewadin. “The historic low water levels in the Great Lakes are threatening the livelihood of communities that rely on summer boating traffic as part of their sea-sonal economy.“The support this effort has had in the Legislature and by the gover-nor shows what an important part of Pure Michigan our harbor towns

play.”MacMaster worked to add $420,000 for East Jordan to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources’ original list of 49 facilities eligible for the funding, which will be allo-cated from the state’s general fund and Waterways Commission Trust Fund.East Jordan was at risk of at least $250,000 in lost revenue and taxes if its marina remained inaccessible this summer.

the book of revelation says, "Behold, I make all things new."this can mean a lot of things to a lot of people, and I would say they're all probably correct.to the man who turned away from crime years ago, it could mean redemption and forgiveness from his sins.to a new mother, it could mean a new creation--a completely new being that she is entrusted to raise and guide.to others, it could simply mean it's a new day and new opportunities are on the ho-rizon.on easter sunday, one might choose the resurrection of jesus christ, saying that by coming back from the dead, he made all things new.taking the verse in context, however, makes this all a much bigger deal when you look at where this figures into john's vision (Is it really the future or is it not? We'll tackle this another day).satan has just been cast into the lake of fire, along with all of those whose names were not written in the Book of life.now we come to our passage today."then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had

passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. they will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘he will wipe every tear from their eyes. there will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”that's when he says it, “I am making every-thing new! Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”so you want things to be new? let's make a list.1. Get rid of the bad. Before anything was made new, the most evil things had to be dispensed with. satan and his false prophet was cast into the lake of fire.2. Get rid of everything that isn't good. yes, this is different. notice that it didn't say that God cast those whose names were written in the Book of the dead into the fire. It's not about being labelled as bad, they key is that they weren't among the good. If it isn't spe-cifically good and improving the world and God's kingdom, get rid of it.3. let God into your life. once again, notice that the good didn't start until God dwelled among the people. once that critical step

was taken, everything changed. there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.so how can we make these things happen?What bad things need to go?Is it a drug habit? Is it a problem in one of your relationships?What needs to go that isn't good?and finally, how can you let God into your life?Well, it's simple. you ask.ask jesus to get involved and everything will change.I'm not going to push any specific church on you, but I will suggest that you connect with others who believe and they will help you.this could be in the form of a catholic mass, an evangelical service in the park, or even a chat after the presbyterian easter egg hunt.

So, you want things to be new?

If you own a business, you may well follow a “do it now” phi-losophy — which is, of course, necessary to keep things running smoothly. Still, you also need to think about tomorrow — which means you’ll want to take action on your own retirement and busi-ness succession plans. Fortunately, you’ve got some at-tractive options in these areas. For example, you could choose a retirement plan that offers at least two key advantages: potential tax-deferred earnings and a wide ar-ray of investment options. Plus, some retirement plans allow you to make tax-deductible contribu-tions.In selecting a retirement plan, you’ll need to consider several

factors, including the size of your business and the number of em-ployees. If your business has no full-time employees other than yourself and your spouse, you may consider a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plan or an owner-only 401(k), sometimes known as an individual or solo 401(k). Or, if your goal is to contribute as much as possible, you may want to con-sider an owner-only defined ben-efit plan.If you have employees, you might want to investigate a SIMPLE IRA or even a 401(k) plan. Your finan-cial advisor, working with plan design professionals and your tax advisor, can help you analyze the options and choose the plan that fits with your combined personal and business goals.Now, let’s turn to business suc-cession plans. Ultimately, your choice of a succession plan strat-egy will depend on many factors, such as the value of your busi-ness, your need for the proceeds from the sale of the business for your retirement, your successor, and how well your business can continue without you. If your goal is to keep the business within the

family, you’ll need to consider how much control you wish to re-tain (and for how long), whether you wish to gift or sell, how you balance your estate among your heirs, and who can reasonably succeed you in running the busi-ness.Many succession planning tech-niques are available, including an outright sale to a third party, a sale to your employees or management (at once or over time), or the trans-fer of your business within your family through sales or gifts dur-ing your life, at your death or any combination thereof.Many succession plans include a buy-sell agreement. Upon your death, such an agreement could allow a business partner or a key employee to buy the business from your surviving spouse or whoever inherits your business interests. To provide the funds needed for the partner or employee (or even one of your children) to purchase the business, an insurance policy could be purchased.Your estate plan — including your will and any living trust — should address what happens with the business, in case you still own part or all of it at your death. The best-laid succession plans may go awry if the unexpected occurs.All these business succession op-tions can be complex, so before choosing any of them, you will need to consult with your legal and financial advisors. Whether it’s selecting a retire-ment plan or a succession strategy, you’ll want to take your time and make the choices that are appro-priate for your individual situa-tion.You work extremely hard to run your business — so do whatever it takes to help maximize your ben-efits from it.

retirement, succession plans ‘must haves’ for business owners

Something to salvageD e a r Dave,I want to buy an i n e x p e n -sive car, and I was wondering what you think about s a l v a g e

titles.Eric

Dear eric,It’s not impossible to find a decent salvage car. But I’d take extra precautions to find out exactly why it was sal-vaged. If it’s a salvage car because it was wrecked, I’d take a look at what kind of wreck caused the damage. Lots of people know how to repair and rebuild cars, so it might end up in better condition than before if you find the right mechanic. On the other hand, I’d probably walk away if the vehicle had been flooded. Some people claim they can fix waterlogged cars, but

that’s a tough job. In most cases water just doesn’t do very nice things to onboard computer sys-tems and wiring.Regardless, do as much research as you can into the car’s history. See if CARFAX has a record. But if the seller doesn’t know anything and other searches don’t turn up good information, my ad-vice is to say no. Make sure you check with your insurance company before you make the purchase too. Salvage cars are sometimes more difficult, or more expensive, to insure!—Dave

Buying wholesaleDear Dave,What is your opinion on whole-sale club memberships?Anonymous

Dear anonymous,My wife and I are members of Costco and Sam’s Club. We don’t buy everything at these places, but do they save you enough money on some things to justify the annual fee? I think so.The biggest problem most folks run into with wholesale clubs is overbuying.

I mean, who needs nine gallons of mustard? You don’t, unless you’re in the restaurant business. So, if you don’t need at that level and won’t use at that level, don’t buy at that level! You’ve got to shop around and know your values.Lots of people think overbuying isn’t a big deal, especially if it’s something that only happens by mistake once in a while. But the truth is it’s really danger-ous. You should plan your shopping the same way you plan your bud-get—with great care and common sense. If you don’t, you can end up spending way more than you can afford on things you’ll never use. Talk about dumb!—Dave

I’m sure y o u ’ v e met peo-ple who will tell you their dogs are “trained” and yet their dog will not p e r f o r m b e h a v -iors in the face of

excitement or distractions.A dog may show some under-standing of putting its rear end down and their head up when hearing the word “sit”, if the dog sits four times out of ten, chances are an owner considers their dog trained. This is a dan-gerous assumption on the part of the owner.A dog’s training needs to be reliable when and where it is needed, most often around distractions,stressful situations and in emergencies. Not only does your dog need to reliably come when called to dinner, but also to come when visiting the park.When thinking about reliable training consider an incident away from home.If your dog was running near a busy street, your dog needs to be able to reliably come when you call to avoid injury. In the case of an oncoming car, your dog also needs to be able to STOP on cue (sit or down) until it’s safe to continue. Much of this depends on you learning how to to react and handle your dog training that take time and lots of practice.Good training happens when you practice properly, repeat-ing the practice until the proper behaviors become deeply es-

tablished habits. The most important behaviors, such as coming when called, need to be so strongly condi-tioned that the dog’s first im-pulse will be to just do it, not stop to think or head off to play with neighbor’s children.Your role as handler (person giving the dog direction) also needs to be thoroughly prac-ticed so that you will automati-cally use the correct cue for your dog to recognize as in-struction and carry out a behav-ior. This can require an incredi-ble amount of self-control from you, but most of all it requires plenty of practice.Training and Discipline = Reli-ability.When some people hear the word discipline, they often think of a cruel overseer admin-istering a harsh punishment. Not true when it comes to dogs (or children). Have you ever been in or watched a marching band, drill team, team sport, or any other unit that requires uni-fied action? If so than you’ve witnessed discipline, and there’s nothing cruel about it.Disciplined activities, like training, build self-esteem. Dogs are quite capable of tak-ing pride in doing a good job and pleasing their owners.Training together builds a spe-cial bond, the two of you be-come a team moving in sync, knowing what is expected and knowing the outcome of those actions.An owner who can cue their dog anywhere, even in the face of distraction, has created a re-liable team.Gaye Amick is the owner of Northern Sky Obedience Acad-emy of Charlevoix.

are you and your dog a reliable team?
