This years annual Panhandle Crop/Hunger Walkwas held on a sunny Sunday in October. Walk organizers

are excitedly proclaiming it was an overwhelming suc-cess. One of our best years ever exclaimed one volunteer.All told over $6,000. was raised. Organizers are quick tocredit the community spirit of the Panhandle residencewho responded so generously despite these tough eco-nomic times.

Walk participants were aided by some beautiful fallweather on the day of the walk. It made for a ne day fora 4.5 mile walk around Howard City. Many volunteerscommented on what a good day it was to be out walkingand doing something so worthwhile. Some of the young-

er walkers took on an additional challenge. they carriedwith them one gallon jugs lled with water. This served

to emphasize what many through out the world have todo on a daily basis just to get water. After 4 miles thosejugs got pretty heavy.

The Crop/Hunger Walk has become an annual fundraising event in the Panhandle area of Montcalm County.The walk follows a route around Howard City, beginningand ending at Ensley Park. Walkers raise money by get-ting pledges for donations. The walk itself is symbolic ofthe plight faced by many poor and hungry people throughout the world. Walkers seek not only to raise money butalso to raise public awareness. Their Motto is we walk

because they walk.CROP, which stands for Communities Responding to

Overcome Poverty, is sponsored by Church World Servic-es. This is a worldwide outreach providing aid in over 80countries to help feed the hungry. Our local walk is orga-nized and supported by several area churches. Of specialnote is the fact that one quarter of all money collected isretained in the local community. Specically in the Pan-handle, its Helping Hands, our local food pantry.

Organizers want to thank all those who participatedin this years walk and all those who so generously madedonations. Also a big thank you to all businesses and or-ganizations who supported the walk.

The worlds population has hit 7 billion. The second-largestnation is India. Heres another No. 2 ranking for Indiapotatoconsumption.

That means plenty of potato recipes are coming out of India,and online searches are highly rewarding, said Ben Kudwa, ex-ecutive director of the Michigan Potato Industry Commission, agrower-funded promotional organization.

The people of India have discovered the versatility of po-tatoes, Kudwa said. Theyve developed their own preparationideas based on their avorful cuisine. The internet is full of theirpotato recipes. Anyone who likes to explore fresh new ways of

preparing potatoes should go online. The variety and breadth ofrecipes are surprising.

Another surprise, he said, is how potatoes have become aglobal food. Production leadership has shifted from Europe andNorth America to Asia. No. 1 China and runner-up India ac-count for about one-third of global output. India itself producesmore than one-tenth.

Half a century ago this land of rice and curry had little in-terest in the crop. A gradual buildup since then led to a surgethis past decade to more than 34 million metric tons of potatoproduction per year. The United States gure is about 20 mil -lion metric tons.

Kudwa said potatoes have caught on in developing parts ofthe world because of their high yields, low cost and wide range ofnutrient benets including protein, ber and potassium. Manystruggling populations over the centuries have gotten adequatenutrition through a simple diet of milk and potatoes, he said.

India, which now has 1.21 billion people to feed and is clos-

ing in on China (1.34 billion) as the worlds most populous na-tion, has put its own unique stamp on potatoes as the crop hasexpanded in use. Kudwa noted that the Indian cuisine relies onpungent spices and herbs to create meals out of the ordinary,and the internet reveals an amazing range of imaginative reci-pes that can broaden American tastes.

He said even more global ideas are germinating. MichiganState Universitys internationally renowned potato breeder Dr.David Douches has not only done work in India and China buthas been active in variety development in Africa, where potatoproduction is also beginning to increase.

We can already nd some African potato recipes online tostimulate our palates. Theyre not nearly as plentiful as thosefrom India, but theyre another indication that the world isshrinking and its getting easier and easier to be exposed tounique cuisines, Kudwa said. Thats a benet to anyone whoenjoys adventurous eating. The proof is the ood of potato reci-pes from India on the internet. I recommend that eager cooksmake the search.

LANSING The Michigan Depart-ment of Agriculture & Rural Development(MDARD) announced recently its annualsurvey results for the emerald ash borer(EAB). In 2011, surveys were conducted inthe non-quarantined counties of the west-ern Upper Peninsula (U.P.), which in-cluded Baraga, Dickinson, Gogebic, Iron,Menominee, Marquette, and Ontonagoncounties; and the southern portion of thequarantined county of Houghton. The

survey showed no new EAB infestations.The movement of EAB-infested fire-wood is the number one way that the in-sect has artificially moved throughout thestate, said Gina Alessandri, MDARDsPesticide and Plant Pest ManagementDivision Director. So, when you are outenjoying Michigans recreation activities,please buy your firewood from a localsource near your destination.

Through a partnership with the Dick-inson, Houghton/Keweenaw, and Mar-quette Conservation Districts, staff in-stalled and inspected more than 2,000baited panel traps. Although EAB remainsactive in several areas of the U.P., the pesthas yet to be detected within the extensiveash resource of the western UP. Locations

with active populations include Brimley,Calumet/Laurium, Garden Corners, Mu-nising, Sault Ste. Marie, and St. Ignace.

Additionally, MDARD conducted EABsurveys on Beaver Island; and at a suspectlocation in and around Newberry in LuceCounty - neither of which revealed any in-festation.

The ban on moving non-coniferous(hardwood) firewood from the LowerPeninsula in to the U.P. remains in ef-fect. Through a collaborative effort withthe Michigan Department of Natural Re-sources, there is a firewood disposal op-eration located in the Mackinaw City Wel-come Center so travelers with firewoodcan dispose of it before crossing northover the Mackinac Bridge. Also, hard-wood firewood cannot be moved from the

quarantined counties of the U.P. into thenon-quarantined counties of the UP.

The DNR continues to have a Direc-tors Land Use Order in effect banningthe possession of ash firewood on all DNRmanaged lands anywhere in the state. Theban is in place for all State Parks & Camp-grounds, State Forests & Campgrounds,Recreation Areas and Game Areas andhelps to reduce the artificial spread of theemerald ash borer, establishment of new

infestations and damage to the ash re-source.Hunters hoping to bag a whitetail deer

this firearm season may be breaking thelaw if they are bringing hardwood fire-wood from home to their hunting camps.Hunters are reminded to not move hard-wood firewood this hunting season to helpstop the spread of the EAB

Hunters are urged to use local sourcesof firewood, burn all they purchase, andnot take any unused firewood back homeor to their next location, said Alessandri.EAB and numerous other invasive pestshitchhike on firewood. This is a simpleway people can help us preserve our for-est landscape for future generations toenjoy.

EAB, an exotic beetle native to Asia, isresponsible for the death or damage of ap-proximately 30 million ash trees through-out Michigan. EAB larvae live and feedundetected beneath the bark of ash trees,making any piece of ash firewood a poten-tial vehicle for the accidental transport ofthe insect. Firewood that may appear un-infested could be carrying EAB larvae un-der the bark.

Individuals or businesses found violat-ing the states EAB quarantine are subjectto fines ranging from $1,000 to $250,000and jail time of up to five years for movingregulated materials, including firewood.

Additional information about EABand a map of the quarantine boundariesare available at www.michigan.gov/eab orwww.emeraldashborer.info.

NORTH AMERICAN

PRECIS SYNDICATE

Make your home feel warmerwithout turning up the heat thiswinter.

The average family spends$1,400 a year on energy, withnearly half of that on heatingand cooling. However, by fol-

lowing some simple steps onhome winterizing, and by usingenergy-efcient heating equip-ment, homeowners can save asmuch as 20 percent on annualenergy costs.

Before you begin to winterize, you should call in a profession-ally licensed HVAC contractor toinspect and tune up your heat-ing system. Once that is done,there are several things you cando yourself to prolong the life ofthe equipment and help ensureproper operation.

n Oil Heat Change fuellters and service burners ifneeded. Check fuel tank for wa-

ter content and ll tank.n Forced-Air Systems

Clean registers and returns, re-move grill on returns, vacuum,and reinstall the grill. On olderforced-air systems, the entireductwork should be cleaned ev-ery couple of years. Inspect uepipe for blockages, leaks andholes and make sure vent cap isin place on roof.

n Furnaces Check fanbelts, pilot light, humidier andmedia pad if needed. On olderfurnaces, the pilot light may stayon all the time and you can seeit; newer models are usually self-igniting and light only when thefurnace is running.

n Humidiers or Dehu-midiers For freestandingunits, change or clean lters.For furnace-mounted humidi-ers, check, clean or replace thewater media pad, or water levelon oat-type humidiers. Checkwaterline/ waste line for leaks.

nHot Water Heaters Drainabout 10 to 15 gallons from service valve, located at bottom ofwater tank, to remove sediment.If water has slight rust color atrst, this is OK; if after drainingmore than 10 gallons the waterstill has a rust color, its a signthe tank is rusting and that youshould consider replacement.On natural gas heaters, inspectue pipe to ensure it is secureand has no leaks. Lowering thetemperature of water in the wa-ter heater to 115 degrees to 120degrees reduces fuel consump-tion.

n An Energy-Efcient Hot Water Circulator such as theBell & Gossett ecocirc can save

an average family of four morethan 12,000 gallons of water andhundreds of dollars in energycosts a year.

n Thermostat Setting 68degrees Fahrenheit is recom-mended for cold months, 65 de-grees Fahrenheit at night. Therule of thumb is that you cansave about 3 percent on yourheating bill for every degree thatyou set back your thermostat.

n New Equipment Ifequipment needs replacement,call a local professional for atleast two quotes. Local, state andfederal tax credits and rebatescan assist in the purchase of an

energy-saving product.

On Wednesday, October 19, the marching band traveled to GrandHaven High School for the Michigan School Band and OrchestraAssociation fs District Seven Marching Band Festival. The weatherthat day alternated between bad and horrible, so the festival officialstook action. For the first time in the 20 plus years of the festival, itwas held inside. The Grand Haven High School auditorium becamethe performance venue for more than a dozen high school marchingbands.

In the event of an inside performance, all three judges becomemusic judges. Normally, one would judge the music, one the marching,and one the overall general effect, but all three judges are qualified

in all areas.The Vikings had very little time to prepare or modify their outdoorshow for indoor performance. The Color Guard had to remove flagtosses and spins, and the entire group had to change gears to playmore musically in an indoor setting. But, they did a fine job andearned a Division One rating. The Vikings then listened to a couple ofother bands play, and then left early to make room in the auditoriumfor more spectators and bands.

The Vikings ended their season with Halloween parades atMacNaughton and Sand Lake Elementary, and a banquet onNovember 1. They would like to extend thanks to the band boostersand supporters who helped them have another successful season.

The Tri County National Honor Society (NHS)

needs your help. They are looking to create analumni wall of success with portraits and informationabout TC alumni who, after graduation becameoutstanding in their career/field/college, or have asuccessful career in an unexpected field, or madeextraordinary contributions for the community.They want to inspire the current students that theytoo can excel after graduation. In order to completethis project, they need help finding the names,stories, and even contact information for some ofTC fs outstanding alumni.

If you know someone whose story/accomplishments would be perfect to demonstrate

how TC grads can achieve great things, pleasecontact Sandee Babb at the high school: [email protected] or at 231-937-4338.

If you have construction, printing or metalworkingskills or resources and would be interested in helpingthe NHS with the building of this project or havematerials or resources to donate for the alumni wallinstallation, please contact Mrs. Babb to go over theplans and what is needed. The NHS would love tohave community members involved in helping makethis project a source of pride at Tri County.
