Only one county commis-sioner, Joel Evans, had nochanges within the district herepresents. e county had to re-align districts because of shis inpopulation reported by the 2010Census. Charlevoix county hassix districts with six commis-sioners representing citizens incities, townships and villages.

Charlevoix county’s Appor-tionment Commission met onApril 28 and, with the guidelinesfrom the state, set the newboundaries for the county’s dis-tricts. e changes will not takeeffect until 2013. e county ap-portionment commission mem-bers were: John Jarema, countyprosecutor and civil counsel,Marilyn Cousineau, countytreasurer, Cheryl Potter Browe,county clerk, Tim Boyko, Re-publican Party chairman andKen Allen Democratic Partychairman.

When the new boundaries gointo effect in a couple of years,the districts will be as shownbelow:

colorectalcancer screening

kits available Most cancer screening is designed

to find cancer early when it can beeasier to treat. But colorectal cancerscreening can actually prevent thedisease.

“Colorectal cancer is the secondleading cause of cancer death in theU.S.,” said Joshua Meyerson, MD,Medical Director for the Health De-partment of Northwest Michigan.“We can impact the number of col-orectal cancer cases and deaths fromthe disease by increasing screeningrates.”

e American Cancer Society rec-ommends regular colorectal cancerscreening beginning at age 50. Mey-erson says that can be difficult forpeople who do not have health insur-ance that covers the cost of screening.So the Health Department is offeringfree at-home colorectal cancerscreening kits for men and womenage 50 to 64 from Antrim,Charlevoix, Emmet, and Otsegocounties who are uninsured or whosehealth insurance does not cover col-orectal cancer screening.

Colorectal cancer is a cancer thatforms in the colon and rectum; theseare parts of the digestive systemthrough which partially digested foodand water passes on its way out of thebody. e disease causes no symptomin the early stages, although abnor-mal growths called polyps may de-velop in the colon or rectum. Mostpolyps are not cancer, but some maydevelop into cancer if they are not re-moved.

e exact cause of colorectal canceris unknown, although there are sev-eral risk factors that may increase thelikelihood of developing the diseasesuch as age over 50 years, presence ofcolorectal polyps, family history, highfat diet, smoking, certain genetic al-terations and a personal history ofcancer.

“Finding and removing polypskeeps people from getting colorectalcancer,” Meyerson said. “By improv-ing colorectal cancer screening rates,we’re hoping to see fewer deaths.”

Call the Health Department at 800-432-4121 to check eligibility and re-quest an at-home screening kit.Further testing may be covered by theColorectal Cancer Early DetectionProgram. If needed, the Health De-partment helps coordinate treatmentwith local hospitals and physicians.

Michigan Department of Com-munity Health (MDCH) hasawarded a five-year $500,000 grantto the Health Department ofNorthwest Michigan for a SchoolWellness Program at Boyne CityElementary and Middle Schoolsbeginning in September 2011.

School Wellness Programs in-clude nursing services, individualand group health education usingevidence-based curricula and inter-ventions, school staff training and

professional development, andmental health services.

“We’re delighted to be workingtogether with the Health Depart-ment to improve students’ health inBoyne City,” said Peter Moss, Su-perintendent of Boyne City PublicSchools. “We embrace the notion‘healthy kids learn better’”. Similarprograms have shown positive im-pact on school attendance, schoolachievement, and school comple-tion, he said.

Tami Frampus, the long-timeBoyne City School Nurse, will serveas the School Wellness ProgramNurse. ough she will continue tosee students who become sick orhurt at school, the project will alsofocus on nutrition and physical ac-tivity. For example, Frampus willlead a research-based project tomake changes in the middle schoolcafeteria with the goal to increasestudent consumption of fruits andvegetables.

is is the third major grant forschool-based child and adolescenthealth the Health Department hasreceived from MDCH. e Iron-men Health Center is located inMancelona and the Hornet HealthCenter is in the Pellston middle-high school.

Many types of sunburn occur when youare out in the sun doing other things be-sides having fun in the water. You don’tthink about applying sunblock or sunscreenwhen at the park with your kids or out inthe garden. However, any time you are inthe sun for an extended period of time, theharmful rays of the sun can damage yourskin.

Sunburn develops as a result of harmfulultraviolet rays penetrating the outer layerof the skin. As the name implies, sunburn isactually a burn on the skin. Some rays pene-trate deeper into the tissues where sun dam-age can result in tissue changes and cancerformation. UVB rays are more dangerous tothe skin than UVA but both can cause sun-burn.

Sunburn can develop easily aer onlyabout thirty minutes of direct sunlight. Youwon’t notice or even feel like you have beenburned by the sun until several hours later.While in the sun, your skin will feel warmbut that will be due to heat from the sun.

When you go indoors, your skin will stillfeel warm. Eventually, red blotches will de-velop where sunburn has occurred. e areais also tender to the touch of hands and

even clothing. e skin will begin to blisteraer a couple of days. Some people with re-ally bad sunburn can suffer from nauseaand vomiting as well.

As miserable as sunburn is, there are waysto minimize the symptoms and get yourskin back on the mend. Before looking atover the counter remedies, try a few naturalremedies.

1. Aloe Verais plant has thick leaves that contain a

cool substance to relieve the pain and in-flammation of sunburn. Break off part of aleaf and rub gently onto your sunburnedskin. If you do not have a plant nearby thereare many aloe vera based skin products.

2. Baking soda bathAdd half a cup of baking soda to a luke-

warm bath and allow your body to soak.e baking soda cools the burn to relieve ir-ritation and pain. Insteadof rubbing,allowyour

body to air dry.

3. Apple cider vinegarVinegar has many healing properties in-

cluding antibacterial and antiseptic. Use acotton swab or a cotton ball to rub applecider vinegar on your sunburned areas toprevent chafing and peeling.

4. Tea bagsAer you make some tea, let the tea bags

cool. e tea can be used as a compress todetoxify your skin and reduce inflamma-tion.

5. Cold creamis is a commercial product but helpful

to cool the pain of a sunburn. Cover thesunburned areas in a thick coat to soothethe burn and moisturize the skin.

Are you suffering from too much fun inthe sun? Start with these five remedies to get

relief for your sunburn.http://healthybodyhealthy-mind.net/2009/07/03/sunburn-

Sitting across from the 27-year-old soldier at theCharlevoix library on a sum-mer day, observing his quicksmile and steady calmness, it issurprising to Hnd out that hewas nearly killed inAfghanistan when the truck inwhich he was riding hit an Im-provised Explosive Device andblew up.

Platoon Sgt. Troy Drebenst-edt said he was thrown into theside of the vehicle, hitting hishead and suFering other in-juries. Ee next thing he knewhe was on his feet headingdown the road, intent on Hnd-ing whomever planted the IED. “I was extremely angry,” Troysaid. A medic who had noticedsigns of a concussion came toget him and his superior oGcerordered him back to the truck.Ee other four men riding withhim also sustained injuries, butno one was killed. Ee explo-sive device was made with theintention to kill everyone in alarge radius anywhere near it.“It was 300 pounds of explo-

He is blessed, he says, andhe credits his character to hisChristian faith and his up-bringing. His anger dissi-pated and he separates theAfghan people from the ter-rorists.“Being angry with a whole

race is buying into their big-otry,” he said.Troy’s job in Afghanistanwas one of the most danger-ous. He was part of the Com-bat Engineering Unit, knownas SAPPERS. He performed“route clearance,” that is, hisjob was to Hnd IEDs plantedby the terrorists and clear thearea of them for safer travelby the military.

“It’s one of the toughestjobs, but the number onethreat to our troops are theIEDs,” Troy said.Troy served in

Afghanistan for 10 monthsand prior to that he served inIraq for 14 months. He isnow home in Marquette, un-dergoing treatment for hisinjuries and attendingNorthern Michigan Univer-

A new business venture located in Ellsworth, Hoofprintsfor Life, implements Equine Assisted Psychotherapy andEquine Assisted Learning, bringing together mental healthprofessionals, equine professionals, and horses to helpfamilies, individuals, and groups develop skills and im-prove their lives.

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, or EAP, has been usedin a variety of situations. It has helped people to deal withand overcome eating disorders, addictions, anger, grief,and post-traumatic stress disorder, just to name a few.Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) is also used to help cor-porate businesses, small businesses and sports teams de-velop communication and team building skills.

“We work as a team to help the client,” said Hoofprintsfor Life owner and certified Equine Specialist, NadineDeYoung. “e clients are given an activity to completeduring their session. What the activity may be completelydepends on what is trying to be achieved for that particu-lar client.”

Contrary to what many people might assume, there isno riding involved in EAP or EAL. e focus is instead onworking with horses on the ground to complete certaintasks. e exercises require the client or group to applycertain skills, such as non-verbal communication, as-sertiveness, creative thinking and problem solving, leader-ship, and teamwork.

“It really teaches people how to communicate and worktogether,” said DeYoung.

Working with horses provides participants with manyunique opportunities for growth and learning. As withhumans, horses may respond differently to different peopleor situations. ey may require a person to try a new ap-proach, or to change certain things about their behaviorbefore they will cooperate.

“Horses mirror humans,” said DeYoung. “ey mirrorour feelings and emotions. If there is tension, they sense itand they might not be as cooperative. You’re learningwhile you’re doing, and the horse is going to tell us whatwe’re doing right in subtle ways. When you see the horseworking with the clients, and the people growing from it,it’s just a phenomenal thing.”

BOYNE CITY — eBoyne City Public Schoolsand its teachers and ad-ministrative staff have rat-ified a contract as of June30, with concessions fromthe union-representedteachers and staff.

School District superin-tendent Peter Moss waspleased with the processin negotiating the con-tract.

“I think the unions de-serve a lot of credit. eycame in and it (negotia-tions) was civil and theywere more like problem-

solvers than antagonists. Ifeel the budget is main-tained for the students,”Moss said.

e teachers agreed tobegin to pay a percentageof their total insurancecosts, for medical, dentaland vision. e first yearof the 3-year contract,teachers pay 12 percent,the second year, 15 per-cent and the third year 20percent. ey also agreedto a pay freeze for the nextthree years.

Other actions taken tobalance the $12 millionbudget were to reduceteaching and paraprofes-

sional staff by one elemen-tary school teacher andthree paraprofessionals,along with dropping a nat-ural resources class and afamily living class by onesection. e District alsodipped into some of itsfund reserve to balancethe budget. e AdvancedPlacement program andhigh school art classes es-caped cuts.

Moss said he thinks en-rollment will be up thisSeptember, based on the2010 Census that showedan increase in populationin Boyne City.

ree amazing classes taught by three amazing painters -that's what both experienced and inexperienced area artistshave to look forward to in July at the Charlevoix Circle ofArts.

Start your creative adventure on Tuesday and Wednesday,July 5 & 6, with watercolor artist Betty Bea Washburn - a vet-eran public school art teacher of 33 years who began paintingwatercolors professionally in 1979. As a Bellaire resident, shefinds inspiration in area landscapes, gardens and historicalsites. Washburn is intrigued by watercolor relationships: theharmony between the physical properties of the medium, theeffect of atmosphere on the subject matter, and the use ofcolor as a means of creating an internal glow. Washburnstates, "My goal is to infuse the paintingwith energy that remains within the worklong aer the brush has been lied fromthe paper."

When artists-in-training get the cre-ative urge, it’s the “renaissance man” him-self, Jim Kosloskey, they ask for… againand again. e Charlevoix Circle of Arthonors the public’s requests by offeringhis palette knife painting classes… againand again.

Kosloskey’s classes are so popular thatthey quickly fill to capacity. Only a fewopenings are le for the July 19 & 20, but watch for more ofhis classes to be scheduled in late summer and fall. roughthe Circle of Arts, he offers beginning and intermediate oilpainting classes, choosing numerous northern Michiganscenes to depict. Students clamor for his careful instructionand encouragement on the intricacies of palette knife paint-ing.

Kosloskey, a popular artist from Harbor Springs, always at-tracts an interesting group of students. e camaraderie hecreates helps them enjoy and love his patient, helpful methodsof teaching art. e art students are from every walk of life -executives, realtors, artists, retirees, students, and the like –and they come from Harbor Springs, Petoskey, Charlevoixand other nearby communities to learn and enjoy the experi-ence of producing an art piece themselves.

Everyone starts with the challenge ofan empty canvas and all are highly re-warded at the end of the class with theirown creation, completed and ready totake home for framing. As students puton the finishing touches, Kosloskeyplays guitar, as song writing is anotherone of his many talents, making for arelaxing, cultural experience.

When the second evening closes,Kosloskey, chef and proprietor of CrazyJim’s Barbecue Sauces, gives each stu-dent a sample of one of his many flavorsto sample at home, yet another sensoryexperience from Kosloskey and the Charlevoix Circle of Arts.

e biggest gi received from Kosloskey’s instruction, how-ever, is the inner satisfaction students feel from creating art-work, and the huge smiles of pride they all wear when havinga hand in the creation of something beautiful. Aer all isn’tthat what the Renaissance was all about?

Our third July artist / instructor is Mike Coltman - a sellingartist who has worked mostly with pastels. His class, July 25 &26, is "Oil Painting: Creating Color with Palette Knife andBrush." His new interest in oils came out of a workshop inFlorida where he learned to paint using only 5 colors. He willshare the skill of creating color and painting from a photo-graph… using both a knife and a brush.

For more information on classes, please call the Circle ofArts, 231-547-3554, or go to the Circle of Artswebsite www.charlevoixcircle.org.

teams’ senior leader, and he proved thatby hitting .339, with a .409 OBP fromthe lead-off spot, pounding out 20 hitsin 59 plate appearances.

Mellios was the Red Devils work-horse; he faced opposing teams’ num-ber one pitchers on a nightly basis,going 5-6 in 45 innings, striking out 32,with a 3.27 ERA. Austen also playedevery infield position during the courseof the year, and batted .308, with twoHR and 13 RBI’s.

Boyne Falls senior Reggie Fiel contin-ued to be a bright spot for the Loggersthis past season, tossing his first careerno-hitter against Ellsworth and struckout 14 in the process. He went 4-1 onthe mound for Boyne Falls, and endedup hitting .457 with a HR, aer a slowstart to the season. Reggie was also aNorthern Lakes Conference first teamselection for the third consecutive year.

Ellsworth is represented by seniorRobert Gruse. Mr. Gruse played multi-ple positions for the Lancers, pitcher,catcher, infield, you name it and thisyoung man would do it. Robert was arepeat NLC first team selection.

SaysSkipping apayment afterrefinance?

Dear Dave,I just refinanced my home from

a 30-year fixed rate to a 15-yearfixed rate mortgage. e first pay-ment won’t be due until July, but should I go ahead andmake a June payment or put that money toward my debtsnowball?

AveryDear Avery,If it were me, I’d put that money toward paying off debt.

At this point, you don’t have a June payment coming due, soanything you paid in would only go toward prepaying theprincipal. Mortgage interest is charged in arrears, whichmeans backward. Your July payment would pay your Juneinterest. at’s why your first payment isn’t due until July 1.

I think deep down the heart of your question is whetheror not to pay extra on your mortgage instead of puttingmoney toward your debt snowball. e answer to that ques-tion is always no. Get rid of all your debt except the housefirst, which is Baby Step 2. en, move on through the restof the Baby Steps.

Baby Step 3 means fully funding your emergency fundwith three to six months of expenses. Aer that, Baby Step 4is investing 15 percent of your income into Roth IRAs andother pre-tax retirement plans. Baby Step 5, if you have kids,is college funding, and then you pay off your home early onBaby Step 6.

Once all this is done, you have the final Baby Step, andthat’s number seven—build wealth and give. at’s when thefun really begins!

—Dave

Peer-to-peer lending?Dear Dave,What do you think about peer-to-peer lending? I’m think-

ing about getting in on investing in individual loans as aninvestment strategy.

BrianDear Brian,Sorry, but as an investment strategy I think this kind of

thing is pretty stupid. Most of these kinds of loans are notcollateralized, which means they’re not checked out. I mean,would you loan someone money without really getting intotheir business and knowing something about them first?

Right now, there’s a social justice aspect to this kind ofstuff. But I prefer charitable giving to lending. I mean, ifyou’re going to help someone, then just help them. I know,it’s almost a fad, in-vogue kind of thing right now, andeverybody’s yakking about it. From a human standpoint, it’snever a bad thing to help people who are hurting. But as aninvestment, it makes very little sense, and you have to exam-ine whether or not you’re really helping someone by doingthis.

Don’t get me wrong, the motivation behind that kind ofthing might be noble. I can appreciate that aspect of theprocess. But since I believe debt is a curse—not a positivething—it would be hypocritical of me to recommend peer-to-peer lending.

—Dave

Q: At what age should young adults

be encouraged to leave home and

live on their own?Juli: is is a question more and

more parents are asking because theredoesn't seem to be a "norm." In genera-tions past, high school graduation (or atleast college graduation) was the ac-cepted milestone at which most youngadults were expected to become finan-cially independent.

Most young adults married and begantheir occupations or careers by theirearly 20s. Now, adult responsibilitiesseem somehow to be too much for a 22-year-old. Many parents have adoptedthe philosophy that kids should "live alittle" before settling down. As a result,it is common for parents to still behousing and financially supportingyoung adults into their late 20s or early30s.

e common trend to delay mar-riage, commitment to a career and par-enthood may appear to be a gi to thisgeneration of young adults. In my opin-ion, it is more of a handicap. Yes, youngadults don't typically have the wisdomto think through the lifetime decisionsthey are faced with. at is why theyneed mentors and coaches to help them.However, the greatest teacher in life isthe process of making difficult choicesand living with the consequences ofthose choices. Rather than protecting

young adults from pain, delaying the bigdecisions of life keeps them immatureand paralyzed.

While there is no "magic age" to de-termine when young adults should beencouraged to leave the nest, many arestaying dependent beyond what ishealthy. Ironically, the same kids whowere pushed to start preschool at theage of 3 are now encouraged to stayeenagers until the age of 30! If you reallywant to give your 20-something a jumpon life, don't get in the way of the adultresponsibilities that promote maturity,self-sacrifice and perseverance.

Q: I'm at a loss as to how to teachmy kids sound financial principleswhen banks, businesses and the gov-ernment are setting such a poor exam-ple. Do you have any suggestions?

Jim: Regardless of what's happeningwith the economy, many parents, sadly,are not doing a great job of teachingtheir kids the basic principles of moneymanagement. Perhaps financial expertDave Ramsey put it best when he said,"We're raising an entire generation with'sucker' stamped on their foreheads."Consider these statistics:

-- Just 26 percent of kids ages 13 to21 say their parents taught them tomanage money.

-- Eighty percent of undergraduateshave at least one credit card and nearly

half of college graduates carry four ormore credit cards.

-- Only 13 states have educational re-quirements for financial literacy -- andthose don't start until high school.

As parents, we need to start soonerthan that. A good, old-fashioned al-lowance and a piggy bank might be adecent beginning. But Ramsey and oth-ers have proposed employing THREEpiggy banks for each child: one forspending, one for saving and one forgiving. Kids need to learn that once the"spend" money runs out, it's gone, sothey need to budget wisely. And theyneed to delay gratification for the big-ger-ticket items for which they're sav-ing. Most importantly, they need tolearn the importance of setting asidemoney to give to charity or the church.

More than anything, though, ourkids need Mom and Dad to set a goodexample. ey're not going to learn tospend, save and give wisely if their par-ents are living on credit and debt. Infact, I believe there are many adults outthere who could benefit from the "threepiggy bank" approach!

painted or freshly scrubbed frontdoor. If it’s autumn, rake the leaves. Ifit’s winter, shovel the walkways. efewer obstacles between prospectsand the true appeal of your home,the better.

Clean up the living room, thebathroom, and the kitchen. If your

woodwork is scuffed or the paint isfading, consider some minor redeco-ration. Fresh wallpaper adds charmand value to your property. If you’reworried about time, hire professionalcleaners or painters to get your houseready. Remember, prospects wouldrather see how great your home re-ally looks than hear how great itcould look "with a little work."

Dripping water rattles the nerves,discolors sinks, and suggests faulty orworn-out plumbing. Burned outbulbs or faulty wiring leave prospectsin the dark. Don’t let little problemsdetract from what’s right with yourhome.

If cabinets or closet doors stick in

your home, you can be sure they willalso stick in a prospect’s mind.

Homeowners learn to live with allkinds of self-set booby traps: rollerskates on the stairs, extension cords,slippery throw rugs and low hangingoverhead lights. Make your residenceas non-perilous as possible for visi-tors.

Organize and clean out your clos-ets and storage space. It helps themappear open and large. is is a goodtime to rent a mini-warehouse spaceto store things you don’t need for awhile.

Bathrooms sell homes. Check andrepair damaged or unsightly caulkingin the tubs and showers. For added

allure, display your best towels, mats,and shower curtains.

For a spacious look in the bed-rooms, get rid of excess furniture.Colorful bedspreads and fresh cur-tains are a must.

Turn on all your lights - both in-side and outside - when showingyour home in the evening.

When a showing is scheduled havea minimum amount of people in thehome. Plan to be away from yourhome if your real estate agent isshowing the home.

Watch Your Pets. Keep them out ofsight when showing your home
