EAST JORDANIn a 5-1vote last week, the East

Jordan City Commission

decided to forego the inter-viewing process for a city

administrator and directlyappoint Tom Cannon to the

position.Cannon has been serving

as acting city administra-

tor since previous adminis-trator Chris Yonkers

departure in early October.Cannon has also served as

assistant city administra-

tor in addition to his role asparks director.

When commissionerscame together for the No-

vember 20 meeting, the

agenda laid out that com-missioners would continue

moving forward with theprocess/schedule for inter-

viewing city administratorcandidates. The hope was

to narrow the pool of can-didates down to a select

handful that might be in-terviewed.

Commissioner Mark Pen-

zien opened the meetingwith other thoughts.

Ive looked at all of thecandidates in terms of re-

sumes, said Penzien. Tobe truthful, Ive been strug-

gling with this because to

bring somebody else in atthis point, we would have

to start fresh. It would al-

most take another year anda half to get things started.

Im in favor of keepingwhat weve got right now,

and give it some time towork out the processes.

Weve had an interim ad-ministrator for some time.

Id be in favor of giving it alot more time. Im not in

favor of having interviews

and going through thatprocess when we have

somebody that seems to beworking.

Commissioner AndrewBoyer expressed concern

that this would put Cannon

in a dual capacity role, hav-ing to act as both city ad-

ministrator and parks

director.My concern of having

an indefinite deal would bethat when spring comes,

Tom is still parks and rec(director), and that is a

busy time, said Boyer. Idont think it would be fair

to expect Tom to take onthe responsibilities of both

jobs and be able to do the

job that is needed.Cannon responded, I

can do a lot of administra-tive roles in the winter with

grant writing, but in thesummer, you just have to

have that person out in the

field, and you cant be incity hall all of the time.

City Attorney Scott

Beatty interjected histhoughts about the com-

mission, contending that asa body, the commission has

three major responsibili-ties: to appoint a city ad-

ministrator, to set thebudget, and to set city poli-

cies.[The city charter] al-

lows an interim city admin-

istrator, said Beatty. Itdoes provide that the city

administrator be appointedfor an indefinite term. Be-

cause of [the commissions]oath of office, [the commis-

sion] is obligated to do due

diligence and to be fair andto be objective in that

process. It doesnt require

[the commission] to inter-view 35 people and then se-

Thanksgiving is the quintessen-

tial American holiday. It is a day

of food, family, football and re-stored faith in the thankful capac-

ity of mankind. Celebrated on thefourth Thursday of November,

Thanksgiving is a red, white andblue celebration ensconced in vi-

sions of Pilgrims in black andwhite sharing the harvest and

good will with Native Americans

so many moons ago. It is a re-minder that extending the spirit of

camaraderie and good will is atimeless and priceless act.

Of course, Lions football and theannual Macys Thanksgiving pa-

rade are must see turkey-day tele-

vision events as well as greatexcuses to eat snacks before sitting

down to a huge feast. The Macys

parade, known for elaborate floats,balloons and celebrity appear-ances, began in 1924, actually the

same year Americas Thanksgiv-

ing Parade first marched downthe streets in Detroit.

The annual Detroit LionsThanksgiving football game tradi-

tion started ten years later, in 1934,

with a 19 to 16 loss against theChicago Bears, and with the excep-

tion of a hiatus between 1939 and1944, the game has been played

every year since, with an overallrecord hovering around the .500

mark. This year the Lions will play

the Chicago Bears at Ford Fieldstarting at 12:30 pm and will be tel-

evised on CBS.Thanksgiving has also inspired

some memorable thoughts and ob-servations over the years, such

asThere is one day that is ours

Thanksgiving Day is the one daythat is purely American. ~O.

Henry

Thanksgiving, when the Indi-ans said, Well, this has been fun,

but we know you have a long voy-age back to England. Jay Leno

Today, about 45 million turkeys

dont look forward to the approachof Thanksgiving at all. That how

many birds Americans will becarving up for the annual feast ac-

cording to the US Department ofAgriculture. Other Thanksgiving

meal staples include sweet pota-

toes, cranberries, and of course,pumpkin pie with lots of whipped

cream.An optimist is a person who

starts a new diet on Thanksgiving

Established in their present lo-cation in Downtown Mio approxi-

mately nine years ago,Strawberry Patch ReSale-Con-

signment store offers area resi-

dents an excellent opportunity tosell their quality used items, and

purchase a wide variety of cloth-ing and household goods at very

reasonable prices. The shop,which was founded by Sharon

Gardulski, Pastor of the Freedom

Worship Center, is operated by adedicated group of thirteen vol-

unteer from the Mio area.We have many different types

of items in the store, states Gar-dulski. That includes furniture,

appliances and other household

items, and we have a lot of newand used clothing, including

coats in mens, womens and chil-drens sizes, as well as several

items that would make excellent

Christmas gifts.The inventory at Strawberry

Patch ReSale-Consignment isbrought in by local individuals

who receive 40-percent of theamount those items sell for.

Strawberry Patch takes care ofthe tagging and marketing of

those items, and after a 60 day pe-riod, unsold clothing is sent to an

Amish warehouse facility that

distributes that clothing to peo-ple in need all over the world.

Our location is a great re-source for people in the Mio

area, observes Gardulski.Major shopping areas, such as

Gaylord, Alpena and West

Branch, are all an hour or moredrive away. So this is a conven-

ient, local spot where people canmake some extra money selling

items, and shop for a wide assort-ment of clothing and household

items.

The Strawberry Patch ReSale-Consignment Shop is located in

Downtown Mio next to the RiteAid store. The facility is open

Monday through Saturday from10 am until 6 pm. For additional

information, please call (989) 826-

1503.

Winter has arrived a bit earlier

this year in Michigan, meaningthat drivers need to be prepared

earlier than ever. The resulting

frigid temperatures and danger-

ous driving conditions havecaught many people off guard

causing numerous crashes. Mete-

orologists are predicting another

blustery, snowy and heavy win-ter season and are cautioning

drivers to be extremely cautious

in the coming months.

Winter driving in Michigancan be extremely challenging

under normal conditions, said

Pamela Harlin, spokesperson for

the Meemic Insurance Company.

When you add in any form ofextreme weather conditions, like

an excess in snow fall, the result

can be dangerous driving condi-

tions that require even the most

skilled drivers to use the utmostcaution.

Meemic Insurance offers these

10 Safety Tips for Winter Drivingto help Michigan drivers arrive

safely and avoid costly accidents.

1. Start Clean Be sure to

completely clear snow and icefrom all windows, lights, hood

and roof for maximum visibility

and to avoid having ice and snow

fly off your vehicle. Law enforce-

ment officials are on the lookout

for peephole drivers.2. Light it Up Before start-

ing out, turn on your lights to in-

crease your visibility to othermotorists.

3. Slow it Down Remember,

posted speed limits are for drypavement. Decrease speed on icy,

snow-covered roads and allowextra distance between you and

other vehicles.

4. Look Ahead Watch the

traffic well ahead for extra reac-

tion time. Always drive defen-sively and give yourself acushion of time to deal with win-

tery conditions.5. Stay Away Stay well back

of maintenance vehicles and

snowplows at least 200 feet (itsthe law) and dont pass on the

right. Use extreme caution whenpassing in a passing lane.

6. Pick a Lane Avoid abrupt

lane changes. There may be a

snow ridge between lanes. Also,

the passing lane may be in worse

shape than the driving lane.

7. Take a Brake Brake early

and gently to avoid skidding. It

takes more time and distance to

stop in adverse conditions. If

your wheels start to lock up, ease

off the brake. Do not pump anti-

lock brakes.

8. Watch for Signs Watch

for signs alerting you to slippery

bridge decks and other areas

prone to becoming slick, even

when the rest of the pavement is

in good condition.

9. Stay in Control Dont use

cruise control or overdrive in

wintery conditions. Even a slight

depression of your brakes to de-

activate can cause loss of control

on hidden slippery patches10. Avoid Assumptions Do

not assume your vehicle can han-

dle all conditions. Even four-

wheel and front-wheel drive

vehicles encounter trouble on

winter roads. The false sense of

security these vehicles offer can

leave you less prepared to deal

with emergency situations.

Advent in Isaiah is the theme

of a Bible study offered by the

Rev. Thomas ODell, Rector ofChrist Church. The community

is invited to the noontime ses-sions on Wednesdays, Decem-

ber 3, 10 & 17. The sessions willbe held at the Christ Episcopal

Church, 200 State St. in

Charlevoix.Sometimes the writings of

the prophet Isaiah are calledthe fifth gospel. So many of

the themes of the gospels, en-fleshed in their portrayal of

Jesus, have their scriptural be-

ginnings in Isaiah. Isaiahs con-nection to the story of Jesus

seems particularly strong inthe Advent and Christmas sea-

sons. Even the prophets name Isaiah means Yahweh

saves foretells the Christ-mas story.

Come and share warm,

healthy food and engage in in-formal discussion led by Fr.

Tom. Call the parish office (231)547-6322 so we will know to

have lunch ready for you! The

study is underwritten by theTaylor Fund and is offered at

no charge.

The loss of a loved one can be avery hard thing to deal with, es-

pecially for children. They maynot fully understand what is hap-

pening, and if they do, they may

not want to talk about it or evenknow how. Camp Live, Laugh,

Love is here to help those kidswho need a little guidance when

it comes to the loss of someonethey love. Camp Live, Laugh,

Love is a camp that is sponsored

by the Childrens BereavementNetwork and is intended to help

children deal with the loss of aparent or another significant

loved one in their life. The camp

is entirely free for the childrenwho sign up thanks to the gen-

erosity of the community and in-dividuals who care. Trained

professionals, along with a greatgroup of volunteers, help these

children deal with death.

Children ages 8 13 can attendCamp, Live, Laugh, Love where

they will learn to deal with griefand are able to g rieve in their

own way. Grief and loss do not af-fect everyone in the same way,

and this can be hard for adults

and other children to understand.

Each child is paired up with a

Teen Buddy who is with themthrough their entire stay at the

camp. While there, the kids will

learn healthy grieving habits andhealthy coping skills so they canbetter deal with the death. There

are also some fun activities that

campers will get to experiencesuch as rock wall climbing,

horseback riding, water activi-ties, sports, and more. Kids will

also make a Memory Book toremember all of the good times

with their loved one and have the

opportunity to write all of their

angry/hurt feelings down for theBoo Box that is burned one

night at camp. Everything is pro-

vided to the kids at no cost tothem at Camp Nissikone in Os-coda. In 2015, the camp will be

taking place from July 24th July

26th and an application form canbe downloaded now at camplive-

laughlove.org for both campersand volunteers.

One of the parents of a childwho attended Camp Live, Laugh,

Love says, Kanin has done a

total turn-around. Before camphe wasnt listening, and had trou-bles in school. Now he is very

compassionate telling me everyhalf hour he loves me, he gets

along with his sister better, andhes getting As in schoolYes, I

would definitely suggest camp to

other people; in fact, I have al-ready done so. This is proof that

simply having a place where the

kids can talk about their feelingsand learn how to cope with grief

can completely change their livesfor the better.

Something else unique thathappens for these campers is a

very special bear they receive at

the Reunion party that usuallyhappens in October before the

holidays. Camp Director, LynneTotten hand makes these bears

out of an item of clothing fromthat childs loved one. This item

can be a shirt, a blanket, or any

material that belonged to the per-son who has passed away. This is

something that the child can al-ways have with them and they

can be reminded that the personwho has died will always be with

them in their hearts and in their

minds.There is so much more that

goes on at camp such as HealingCircles, a Memorial Service, and

other fun and helpful activities.For any additional information

on Camp Live, Laugh, Love you

can go to their website, camplive-laughlove.org, email them at

[email protected],or give Lynne Totten a call at
