By Jim Akans

What makes Mancinos unique, relates

Jane Ludlow Towne, CEO of Mancinos

Pizza & Grinders parent company; Ludlow

Enterprises, is the high quality of ingredi-

ents we use in creating our menu items.

People truly enjoy the quality of our foodand we also offer very good value. We

dont make our pizzas ahead of time. Like

each of our menu items, we want to

ensure that every product we serve to our

customers is freshly made. Whether

someone is dining in or calling for a deliv-

ery, our team takes pride in doing their

best job possible providing fast, friendly

service to every customer.

The tantalizing aromas meandering

throughout Mancinos Pizza & Grinders

during the early morning hours are simply

incredible. Thats because the dine-

in/take-out eatery, with locations in

Gaylord, Alpena and Petoskey, begins each

day making the breads for their famousgrinders and crust for their delicious piz-

zas from scratch, using a secret recipe that

bring customers back time and time again

to enjoy that magical homemade texture

and flavor.

In addition to homemade breads, our

grinders and pizzas include the best quali-

ty Hormel brand meats, adds Jane

Ludlow Towne, we slice fresh vegetables

daily, and always provide generous por-

tions of meats and cheeses in our salads,

pastas, pizzas, and grinders.

A quick scan of a Mancinos beverage

cup reveals that the term Grinder origi-

nated on the East Coast where Italian

immigrants established sandwich shops

during WWI. They prepared super-sized

baked sandwiches stuffed with meats,

cheeses, lettuce and tomatoes. These

were a big hit among ship workers, who

were known as grinders because they

ground rivets on the warships. Mancinos

carries on that the tradition of offering

grinders that will satisfy the heartiest of

appetites, at an exceptionally affordable

value,

We always have daily specials and fea-

tures, notes Towne, and because

Mancinos is not a traditional franchise, we

are able to create menu offerings that fitwhat our customers want. I like to say

that quality and value truly meet here at

Mancinos.

Towne is well seasoned in the northern

Michigan restaurant industry. Her father

established Luds Hamburgers in Alpena

back in 1964, and the family went on to

build and operate the Big Boy restaurants

in Alpena, Gaylord, Cheboygan and

Petoskey.

I have been working in the restaurant

business since I was a teenager, recalls

Towne. We sold all of our Big Boy opera-

tions except the one in Alpena about fiveyears ago. We opened our first Mancinos

in Alpena in 1996, and our Gaylord and

Petoskey locations a few years later.

Jane became interested in operating a

Mancinos after being introduced to the

eatery by her daughter, Annette

(Roznowski) Kowatch. She was attending

college in the Lansing area at the time and

took her mom out to eat.

We loved the food, Towne recalls, and

after some research, we began the process

of opening Mancinos locations here in

northern Michigan.

Mancinos is very active in supportingcommunity organizations and events, a

tradition that began back in the 1960s

when the Luds Foodwagon provide sand-

wiches and beverages for many of the

original Alpenfest celebrations. Today,

Mancinos sponsors several carwash

events, high-energy celebrity serving

events, and the establishments coupon

books and gift cards make great promo-

tional items for community group

fundraisers.

Above all, it is the mouth-watering,

heartwarming aromas of the made from

scratch pizzas, grinders, salads and pasta

dishes at Mancinos that bring customersback over and over again.

Mancinos Pizza & Grinders has a web-

site; www.mancinosnorth.com, where cus-

tomers can sign up to receive emails fea-

turing coupons and special offers. Theeatery is located at 1361 M-32 West in

Gaylord (989) 705-7332 and at 109 W.

Mitchell Street in Petoskey (231) 348-3700.

Choosing a locally owned store

generates almost four times as

much economic benefit for the

surrounding region as shopping at

a chain, a new study has conclud-

ed. The analysis also found that

eating at a local restaurant pro-

duces more than twice the local

economic impact of dining at a

chain restaurant.

The research firm Civic

Economics analyzed data from fif-

teen independent retailers and

seven independent restaurants, all

located in Salt Lake City, and com-

pared their impact on the local

economy with four chain retail

stores (Barnes & Noble, Home

Depot, Office Max, and Target) and

three national restaurant chains

(Darden, McDonalds, and P.F.

Changs).

The study found that the local

retailers return an average of 52

percent of their revenue to the

local economy, compared with just

14 percent for the chain retailers.

Similarly, the local restaurants re-

circulate an average of 79 percent

of their revenue locally, compared

to 30 percent for the chain eateries.

What accounts for the difference?

Independent businesses spend

much more on local labor. They

also procure more goods for resale

locally and rely much more heavily

on local providers for services like

accounting and printing. This

means that much of the money a

customer spends at a local store or

restaurant is re-spent within the

local economy, supporting other

businesses and jobs.

For the 2nd year in a row, the Otsego

Conservation District in conjunction with

the Otsego County MSU Extension 4-H pro-

gram has kicked off the Seed to Harvest 4-H

Junior Master Gardener (STHJMG) program.

Designed for children in 4th thru 6th grade,

the STHJMG program gives kids with an

interest in gardening the opportunity to pick

up skills that will stay with them a lifetime.

From choosing seeds and knowing when

to start them, to basic knowledge of plant

biology, soil science, plant diseases, insects,

and the water cycle, the STHJMG program

runs the gamut of teaching children every-

thing they need to know to be successful gar-deners from seed to harvest.

In addition to essential gardening skills,

the STHJMG program also focuses on the

importance of giving back to the community

through volunteerism and donations. Last

year numerous drop-offs of produce (and

flowers) were made to the Otsego County

Food Pantry and the Friendship Housing

Center. By showing that helping out others

is both rewarding and fun, the STHJMG pro-

gram hopes to instill a value of generosity

that can carry throughout a lifetime, both in

and out of the garden.

Spots are still available for the STHJMG

program thanks to Alpine Master Gardner

Association and Kary J. Burke. The STHJMG

program would like to thank the Alpine

Master Gardener Association for their sup-

port. They would specifically like to thank

Alpine Master Gardener Volunteer Kary J.

Burke for her volunteer commitment and

great enthusiasm.For more information about enrolling a

child or volunteering to help out contact

Justin Burchett, Huron Pines AmeriCorps

Member, Otsego Conservation District

Education Coordinator, and STHJMG Club

Leader, by calling (989) 732-4021 or emailing

Youve no doubt heard about the risks

associated with investing. This invest-

ment carries this type of risk, while that

investment carries another one. And it is

certainly true that all investments do

involve some form of risk. But what

about not investing? Isnt there some

risk associated with that, too?

In fact, by staying on the investment

sidelines, or at least by avoiding long-

term, growth-oriented investments, you

may incur several risks. Here are some

to consider:

You might not keep up with infla-

tion. If you put all your money under the

proverbial mattress, or, more realisti-

cally, you keep it all in cash instru-

ments and very short-term investments,

you might think you are playing it safe.

After all, you might reason, your princi-

pal is protected, so even if you dont

really make any money, youre not los-ing it, either. But thats not strictly true,

because if your money is in investment

vehicles that dont even keep up with

inflation, you can lose ground. In fact,

even at a relatively mild three percent

annual inflation rate, your purchasing

power will decline by about half in just

25 years.

You might outlive your money. For a

65-year-old couple, theres a 50 percent

chance that one spouse will live past age

90, according to the Society of Actuaries.

This statistic suggests that you may

need your investments to help provide

enough income to sustain you for two,

or even three, decades in retirement.

You might not be able to maintainyour financial independence. Even if

you dont totally run out of money, you

could end up scrimping by or, even

worse, you could become somewhat

dependent on your grown children for

financial assistance. For most people,

this prospect is unacceptable.

Consequently, youll want to make

appropriate financial decisions to help

maintain your financial independence.

You might not be able to retire on

your terms. You would probably like to

decide when you retire and how youllretire that is, what sort of lifestyle

youll pursue during retirement. But

both these choices may be taken out of

your hands if you havent investe d

enough to retire on your own terms.

You might not be able to leave the

type of legacy you desire. Like most

people, you would probably like to be

able to leave something behind to your

family and to those charitable organiza-

tions you support. You can help create

this type of legacy through the appropri-

ate legal vehicles i.e., a will, a living

trust and so on but youll still need to

fund these mechanisms somehow. And

that means youll

need to draw onall your financial

assets, including

your investments.

Work with your

financial advisor

to determine the

mixture of growth

and income

investments you

need during your

working years and

as you move

toward retirement

to help you meet

your retirement

goals. However

you do it, get into

the habit of invest-ing, and never lose

it because the

risks of not invest-

ing are just too

great.

Maureen Stine, a conservation educator and

Farm Bill specialist for the U.S. Department of

Agriculture Natural Resource Conservation

Service (NRCS) in Michigan, was named one of

five Outstanding Educators by Project Learning

Tree (PLT), the national environmental edu-

cation program of the American Forest

Foundation. In Michigan, PLT is sponsored by

the Michigan Department of Natural

Resources.

Stine works in the NRCS Onaway field office

under a U.S. Farm Bill program to help private

landowners in six counties in Northern Lower

Michigan restore and manage healthy forests.

She also volunteers on the USDA Earth Team,

which provides environmental education to

children K-12 and trains teachers to use envi-

ronmental education with their students.

Among her many conservation activities,

Stine is the Michigan Green Schools program

liaison for Cheboygan, Otsego, and Presque Isle

counties, co-chair of the Getting Kids Outdoors

Northern Michigan Coalition advisory commit-

tee, and a member of the Leadership Team for

the Northeast Michigan Great Lakes

Stewardship Initiative.

Stine uses PLT activities and service-learning

opportunities to provide meaningful experi-

ences for students of all ages with an emphasis

on trees, soils, and water quality issues. She

recently guided 125 students on the Cheboygan

River to test temperature and pH, gather

macroinvertebrates, and remove monofilament

fishing line from the river banks. The students

are now working on a public awareness cam-

paign and installing trash receptacles and

interpretive signage to educate others about

the dangers to wildlife from improperly dis-

carded fishing line.

Maureen goes above and beyond to help

Project Learning Tree in any way she can, said

Michigan PLT Coordinator Ada Takacs with the

Department of Natural Resources. She helps

make connections across the state, facilitates

workshops, presents at state and national con-

ferences, and is also a mentor with educators

in her area.

Stine graduated from Southern Illinois

University with a B.S. in Forestry and Outdoor

Recreation Resources Management. When she

moved to Michigan 10 years ago, she began to

establish close working relationships with

school districts in the Northern Lower

Peninsula. She conducts PLT workshops that

help teachers easily and effectively teach about

the environment, often in outdoor, hands-on

situations. She also works with the Junior

Master Gardener program, 4-H, several

Conservation Districts Master Naturalist

Programs, the Michigan Alliance of

Environmental and Outdoor Education, and

the National Association for Interpretation. She

was invited to join the Michigan STEM

Partnership, which is helping to build the sci-

entific, technology, engineering, and mathe-

matics skills of students throughout the state

and prepare them for college and science

careers.

Stine will be honored at PLTs 27th

International Coordinators Conference, April29-May 2, in Point Clear, Alabama. She is also

invited to attend the World Forestry Centers

International Educators Institute, July 7-13, in

Portland, Oregon.

PLT Outstanding Educators are selected for

their commitment to environmental educa-

tion, exemplary use of PLT, and exceptional

teaching skills. One other Michigan educator

has won the National PLT Outstanding

Educator Award since its inception in 1994.

By Jim Akans

When Theresa Schmidt joined the team at

Saks Wellness Center in Gaylord 20 years ago

after moving to the area from downstate, she

probably didnt suspect she would be cele-

brating her 20th anniversary at Saks two

decades later. A biology major graduate

from Grand Valley State University, Schmidt

worked as an office manager for a physical

therapist in Plymouth, Michigan for a few

years before relocating to Gaylord. Her edu-

cation and background were something Dr.

Gary Saks took an immediate interest in.

Being in the medical field, he recalls,

there was a lot of overlap in what we were

doing here. I remember being very impress

with Theresas confidence and self-assured-

nessit seemed like a good mix for us.

And that is was. Schmidt started at Saks

Wellness Center handling billings in 1993.She progressed to the office manager posi-

tion, became the office administrator, and

about four years ago, added clinical nutri-

tionist to her list of responsibilities.

She relates, I went through a clinical

nutrition training program shortly after Dr.

Saks had attended the training. Since that

time it has become a segment of the services

we offer that has increased

every year. Currently, I see

between 50 to 70 people per

week, some of which are

multi-generations of the

same family, from grandpar-

ents to children. Since clini-

cal nutrition isnt something

insurance companies cur-

rently cover, the increasingnumber of people I am see-

ing shows how much people

have embrace the benefits of

this program, which is

specifically tailored to each

individuals needs.

Clinical nutrition is cen-

tered on treating a wide

array of discomforts and ail-

ments primarily through

diet, exercise and general

lifestyle adjustments.

Schmidt states that the focus

is treating the root of the

problem rather than the

symptoms.

I start with a technique call the muscle

test, she explains. We look for what nutri-

ents the body needs as well as those it is get-

ting too much of. Once we help people dis-

cover the cause of the problems they are

having, we work with dietary changes, nutri-

tional supplements and lifestyle changes

such as exercise to assist the body in restor-

ing itself. Be addressing the cause of the

problem the symptoms will go away.

Dr. Saks affirms, The body has an incredi-

ble ability to heal itself. We assist in giving

the body the nutrients that it needs and in

not giving it what it doesnt need.

Schmidt notes that statistics have shown a

remarkable 700-percent increase in the inci-

dence of diabetes over the past 50 years, an

upward spiral that points toward lifestyle

changes that have occurred during the last

five decades. Amazingly, studies have also

shown people can reverse diabetes throughinformed lifestyle adjustments centering on

proper diet and exercise.

Theresa Schmidt has a true passion for the

services Saks Wellness Center offers to their

clients, and as she embarks on the next 20

years of her career, she plans to continue as

the clinical nutritionist and administrator at

Saks Wellness Center. She also offers educa-

tional seminars and nutritional talks for the

public at the center twice a month. She and

the entire staff at Saks Wellness share a dedi-

cation to assisting Northern Michigan resi-

dents in relieving chronic conditions; learn-

ing about the benefits of good nutrition, and

how to pursue a healthier, happier lifestyle.

For further information about the full

range of services offered at Saks Wellness

Center, please visit www.sakswellnesscen-

ter.com or call (989) 732-7000.

Caregivers need time forthemselvesBy: Carla Parkes, RN, Owner, Seniors Helping Seniors

Providing care for an aging loved one can be a source of joy

and fulfillment. Family caregivers enjoy spending time with

their loved one. We feel better knowing that we are the one pro-

viding nurturing and compassionate care for their physical and

psychological needs. For many, the challenges of caring for an

elderly family member are simply a part of life. Care giving,

though, is a demanding job. Caregivers often report health con-

cerns and strained relationships much more frequently than

people who are not the primary caregivers of an aging person.

Respite care provides short-term breaks that can relieve

stress, restore energy and promote balance in your life. It has

been shown to help maintain caregiver health and well-being,

avoid or delay out-of-home placements and reduce the likeli-

hood of abuse and neglect. This is especially true if your loved

one has expressed strong opinions about not wanting to leave

his home. By providing care you are allowing your loved one to

stay home, surrounded by his own possessions and the environ-

ment in which he i s comfortable and happy.

Family members and friends may be able to help out while

you run an errand, take a break, or even go out to a movie or

social event. However, just as the burden of care giving is often

more than one person can handle it can also be a tough

process for families and friends to share.

In-home services can be provided by agencies that specialize

in helping seniors remain independent in their own homes.

Services may last from a few hours to overnight or even 24 hours

a day. Services can also be scheduled on a regular basis so the

caregiver, can plan on time to do shopping or other errands or

even lunch with a friend. Having the same caregiver each time

allows your loved one a sense of security and comfort when you

are gone.

Adult day centers are designed for older adults who can bene-

fit from planned activities and social interaction with others.

They operate during daytime hours, Monday through Friday, in

a safe, supportive and cheerful environment. A nutritious meal

at noon is usually included.

Skilled nursing facilities and assisted living facilities often

offer respite care. This type of respite allows access to skilled

nursing staff and 24 hour care. Meals are included. Length of

stay can vary from one day to several weeks.

Seeking support and maintaining your own health are key to

managing your role as a caregiver. Using respite care before you

become exhausted or overwhelmed is ideal. Assessing your

needs for the type, frequency and location of respite services is

important. As a caregiver, is support what you need most? Or is

it some regular free time? Or help with transportation? Then,

identify your loved ones needs, abilities, and preferences. Are

social activities primary? Do they require assistance with walk-

ing, eating or medications? Answering these questions will help

you decide which respite option to pursue.

March isNational

Nutrition

Month

Healthy eating doesnt mean giving up

favorite foods. A single food or meal is much

less important than a persons overall pattern

of food consumption. The Health Department

of Northwest Michigan encourages everyone to

use March National Nutrition Month as an

opportunity to discover healthy eating choicesthat fit in with challenging lifestyles.

Businesspeople, students and families face

unique challenges in eating healthy. For those

on-the-go, the Academy of Nutrition and

Dietetics recommends portable, non-perish-

able, single-serve foods like granola bars,

peanut butter with crackers, fruit, trail mix,

whole-grain cereal, low-sodium soup or tuna.

Students on a tight budget and a tight schedule

can eat right if they shop smart: look for snacks

that combine protein and carbohydrates, such

as apples with peanut butter, carrots and hum-

mus, hardboiled eggs and fruit, bananas and

yogurt or almonds with low-fat cheese orwhole-grain cereal.

Family meals allow parents to be role models

to promote healthy eating, and nutritious

meals can be prepared quickly and inexpen-

sively. The Academy suggests building a collec-

tion of simple recipes for quick and easy family

favorites, and choosing ingredients that can beused for more than one meal. For example,

cook extra grilled chicken for chicken salad or

fajitas the next day.

The WIC Special Supplemental Nutrition

Program for Women, Infants, and Children also

supports National Nutrition Month. WIC serves

low and moderate i ncome pregnant, breast-feeding, and postpartum women, infants, and

children up to age 5 by providing supplemental

food, nutrition education and counseling, and

referrals based on health screening and assess-

ments of need. A family of four with an annual

income of up to $42,643 may qualify for WIC

benefits; call the Health Department at (800)

432-4121 for more information or to schedule

an appointment.

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics says

there isnt a particular way to eat thats right for

everyone. By choosing healthy foods that com-

plement personal needs and preferences,

healthy eating can become sustainable long-

term. Planning ahead and packing lunches or

snacks is one of the best ways to satisfy

appetite and nutritional needs. Visit theAcademys Web site at www.eatright.org for

more information and resources.

The Health Department of Northwest

Michigan is mandated by the Michigan Public

Health Code to promote wellness, prevent dis-

ease, provide quality healthcare, address health

problems of vulnerable populations, and pro-

tect the environment for the residents and visi-

tors of Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet, and Otsego

Counties. For more information, visit the

Health Department online at

GAYLORD The Otsego Memorial Hospital

Foundation has begun accepting applications

for healthcare scholarships to be awarded this

May by the Foundation Board of Directors.

The OMH Foundation scholarship program

was developed to accomplish two goals, states

Christie Perdue, Foundation and Marketing

Director, First, to enable the Foundation to

provide valuable assistance to individuals

interested in a career in healthcare, and sec-

ondly, to perpetuate awareness of the various

career opportunities within the healthcare

industry.

The scholarships are open to students of all

ages who reside in the Hospitals service area,

primarily Atlanta, Elmira, Frederic, Gaylord,

Indian River, Johannesburg, Lewiston,

Vanderbilt, Waters, and Wolverine. To qualify

for a Foundation Scholarship, an individual

must meet the scholarship criteria and have

proof of acceptance in a healthcare field of

study at an accredited college or university.

The OMH Foundation Office must receive all

scholarship applications no later than Friday,

March 29th, 2013. The Foundations

Scholarship Committee reviews the applica-

tions and makes their recommendation to the

Foundations Board of Directors in May. The

Foundation anticipates awarding between

$3,000 and $5,000 in scholarships this year.

from the Hospitals receptionist in the Main
