On September 23, 2014, police

Lisa Del Buono, a Cli-

mate Reality Presenter for

the Citizens Climate

Lobby, will be the speaker

for the next meeting of the

Progressive Women of

Charlevoix County. The

Citizens Climate Lobby is

a non-partisan grassroots

advocacy organization that

empowers citizens to build

public and legislative sup-

port for a revenue neutral

carbon tax that returns

100% of the revenue to

American households.

Del Buono will give a

presentation titled Citi-zens Taking Action on Cli-

mate Change to Create a

Livable World for our Chil-

dren. The meeting will

take place Tuesday Janu-

ary 27 at the Boyne City

Public Library in Boyne

City. Members may ar rive

at noon and the speaker

will begin at 12:30 p.m.

Members are invited to

brown bag their lunch.

The program is open to

anyone interested in pro-

gressive issues, male or fe-

male. Please R.S.V.P. by

January 26 by emailing

progwomenchxcty@yahoo.

com or calling 231-582-9005.Del Buono believes that

the Citizens Climate

Lobby is a beacon of hope

at a time when the United

States urgently needs to

transition from fossil fuels

to clean forms of energy.

She will discuss how a

steadily increasing fee on

carbon would provide a

market-based incentive to

transition rapidly to clean

forms of energy, thereby

decreasing greenhouse gas

emissions. Northern

Michigan is already seeing

the effects of climate

change (e.g. loss of fruit

crops spring of 2002 and2012). Scientists predict

that if we continue on our

current trajectory, the ef-

fects of climate change

will become significantly

worse during our chil-

drens lifetime. She states

that we urgently need to

take action to protect our

childrens future. Econo-

mists on all sides of the po-

litical spectrum agree that

placing a fee on carbon is

the most effective method

to bring down emissions

quickly. Her presentation

will show how citizens can

make a difference by

learning about the issues,writing letters, and taking

action that could literallymean the world to our

children and grandchil-dren. The Citizens Cli-mate Lobby website is

citizensclimatelobby.org.Ms. Del Buono is a

physician and mother wholives and works in Tra-

verse City. She attended

medical school in Ken-tucky followed by a resi-

dency and fellowship atthe University of Michi-

gan. She eventually en-tered community practice

and advocates for women's

health, helping to developthe interdisciplinary

breast clinics at Munsonand Mercy Cadillac Hospi-

tals.As a mother, she is con-

cerned about the impact of

climate change on future

generations and recog-

nizes the urgent need for

solutions. Convinced that

placing a carbon fee and

dividend is the best FIRST

step to addressing climate

change, she believes that

Citizens Climate Lobby

has a unique model to em-

power the citizen. She has

trained as a Climate Real-

ity Presenter and has been

a co-leader with the North-

ern Michigan Chapter of

Citizens' Climate Lobby

since it began in March of

2013.

The Charlevoix and

Emmet County youth or-ganization, SAFE (Sub-

stance Abuse FreeEnvironment) in North-

ern Michigan, is attempt-ing to make brown the

most fashionable color of

the season. The filthy,grimy brown hue was se-

lected to carry an impor-

tant message that willnever go out of style.With a little positive peer

pressure, SAFEs Brown

Out Project aims to dressarea high school students

in brown to send a stronganti-tobacco message to

their fellow peers andcommunity.

The Brown Out Project

will give away 700 free t-shirts to the students of

Boyne City, Charlevoix,East Jordan, Harbor

Springs, Pellston andPetoskey high schools.

The brown t-shirts are

imprinted with thisyears slogan chosen by

SAFE members, Dontbe a Butthead. A home

basketball game at eachhigh school has been des-

ignated as a Brown Out

Game where the studentsection is asked to forego

their school colors,pledge their commitment

to a tobacco-free life, andcheer on their team in

the brown t-shirts.

The Brown Out Projectkicked off with basket-

ball games on December12th in Boyne City fol-

lowed by Petoskey on De-cember 19th. Harbor

Springs and East Jordan

will host their games on

January 23rd andCharlevoix on February

6th. Pellston will also beadded to the schedule

soon. Announcements ofthe games have been dis-

tributed to students with

the call to action.According to SAFEs

research, 90% of new

smokers begin smokingbefore age 18 and almostall begin by age 26; hence

the creation of the

Brown Out Project toraise awareness and pro-

mote its anti-tobaccomessage among area

youth.The Brown Out Project

ley Resale Store operates solelywith a volunteer staff, and the wide

is donated by individuals and or-ganizations in the Boyne Falls and

surrounding area.

Shoppers will find a huge varietyof items including knick-knacks,

furniture, dishes and plenty ofclothing for men, women and chil-

dren. Clothing items that are not

sold are either shipped overseas orsent to recycling facilities where

they find new life in products suchas rugs or even building insulation.

Customers enjoy shopping at thestore and regularly tell the volun-

teers that they appreciate that the

clothing prices are inexpensive(clothing items are available start-

ing at just $2 per item). Though thepricing is very reasonable, the items

that sold at the store are all in good

condition and ready to be re-uti-lized.

occurred to him or his wifethat the pieces were being

taken. They did hear a vehi-cle; however across from

them is a construction site,and Whittaker says that he

and Kim assumed the vehi-

cle was headed there.Whittaker immediately in-

formed the CharlevoixCounty Sheriff Department,

who released the story to alocal news station who ran

the story right away. Within

20 minutes of the story beingaired, a call came into the

Sheriffs Department by theperson who had taken the

art.When they guy brought it

back, it was only like four

minutes after they had it onthe news. I got a call from

the sheriffs department,

someone had brought itright back, says Whittaker.

Whittaker says every sin-gle piece was returned to

him, from the art to theequipment. It was a mira-

cle, I felt joy and happiness,

says Whittaker.Whittaker and the police

feel that the incident was anhonest mistake on the part

of the person who took theitems. They feel that no mal-

ice was intended, and thatbecause everything was re-turned its a good mark of

honest people.It was an honest mistake,

and then it turned out to be

corrected. I turned out to begood friends with the guy

that did it, I was able to givehim a couple of gifts as a re-

ward, says Whittaker.

Michigan will begin to level

the retail playing field this fall

when certain out-of-state mer-

chants, including online giant

Amazon, are required to collect

sales tax just as the states re-tailers do.

Governor Rick Snyder signed

Michigan Retailers Associa-

tions Main Street Fairness leg-

islation into law on January 15,

capping MRAs long battle to

close a tax loophole that has fa-

vored out-of-state merchants

over Michigan-based retail busi-

nesses.

This Main Street Fairness

legislation levels the playing

field for local businesses, help-

ing Michigan job providers bet-

ter compete with online

retailers, the governor said

during a public signing session

in his Lansing office. Local,

brick-and-mortar businesses

drive our economy, and without

implementing this fix they

would continue to serve as

showrooms for online retail-

ers.

The bipartisan legislation, en-

acted by lawmakers in the final,

frantic hours of the 2013-14 leg-

islative session, takes effect Oc-

tober 1.

This is history-making legis-

lation and a great victory for

the home team, said MRA

President and CEO James P.

Hallan. The governor and law-

makers agreed the state will no

longer give remote sellers a

built-in 6 percent price advan-

tage over our Michigan-based

retailers. On behalf of the thou-

sands of Michigan retail busi-

nesses and their hundreds ofthousands of Michigan work-

ers, MRA thanks lawmakers for

stepping up and doing the right

thing, the fair thing.

Under federal law, out-of-state

merchants are not required to

collect a states sales tax on

goods they sell to residents un-

less the remote sellers have

nexus a physical presence

such as a store or warehouse

in that state. The new Main

Street Fairness law would rede-

fine physical presence to in-

clude certain practices that

out-of-state companies are

using to generates sales in

Michigan either online or

through phone or catalog sales.

These include selling through

subsidiaries, affiliate networksor other persons with substan-tial nexus in the state.

The new law will not force all

out-of-state retailers to collectsales tax, only the ones that fall

under the new, expanded defini-tion of physical presence. Con-

gressional action is stillnecessary to require all out-of-

state merchants to collect sales

tax. The Michigan Departmentof Treasury estimates the new

law will mean $60 million annu-ally in additional sales tax rev-

enue. The additional revenuedoes not constitute a new tax,

because purchasers have been

required by existing law to paythe sales tax when they file

their income tax but few actu-

ally do. The problem is one of

enforcement of a current tax

and not creation of a new tax,

the governor explained.

Both the governor and Hallanhailed the new law as a giant

step forward for Michigan.

Some two dozen states have now

taken similar collection actions.

The legislation does not affect

Michigan-based retailers who

sell remotely to other states.

MRA has been involved in the

fairness issue for some 40 years,

Hallan said, since furniture re-

tailers complained about unfair

competition from drop-ship

merchants located in North

Carolina who escaped collecting

Michigans sales tax on items

delivered to Michigan residents.

The latest, successful push for

fairness began in 2011 and con-

tinued into the 2013-14 session.Senator Jim Ananich (D-Flint)

sponsored the Senate bills, S.B.

658-59, that were enacted. Reps.

Eileen Kowall (R-White Lake

Township) and Rob VerHeulen

(R-Walker) sponsored similar

bills in the House.

Local retailers attending the

bill-signing included Barb Stein,

of Great Northern Trading Co.,

in Rockford, Becky Beauchine

Kulka, of Becky Beauchine

Kulka Diamonds and Fine Jew-

elry in Okemos, and Cliff

Yankovich of Chimera Design

in Lowell.
