How To Update YourOlder Home

By Curt Hagedorn

Whether your home is 20, 50 or 100 years old, there comes a time when itbegins to look a little ragged around theedges, inside and out. While you may not

want to invest in a complete top to bottomrenovation, there are things you can do tofreshen up your homes look, as well asmaintain its value in the marketplace.Here, in no particular order, are a few tips.

1) Consult the professionals. For themost part, bids and advice cost nothingand, if you have any sort of budget at all,its going to be a lot easier to pay for somethings like masonry work outdoors andplumbing and electrical indoors. So talk toarchitects and designers about what youcan do to give your home more curbappeal outside and upgraded comfortand convenience inside. Theyre bound tothink of things, both inexpensive and overthe top, which have never occurred to you.

A less complicated alternative is buying a

stack of architecture, renovation and deco-rating magazines and cutting out things

you like. Finally, drive around the neigh-borhood, see what your neighbors aredoing.

2) Identify the major problem areas.Now that youve talked to a few designers,read a few magazines and checked out theneighborhood competition, write down

what you think are your major problems.Of course anything that goes deeper thancosmetic improvement should come first.This means if you have a severely crackedfoundation, substandard electrical orplumbing service, a roof or siding thatscoming off in sections or a yard that lookslike a wasteland, forget about buildingthose decorative columns out by the drive-

way. Accomplish the big fixes first. Forthose of you without such major problems,set your priorities based on your own per-sonal needs. Is having an attractive house

outside a more pressing concern, or is yourcramped kitchen where you want to startswinging the sledgehammer. Whether yourproject is big or small, planning and budg-eting makes all the difference.

3) Adding Value to your home. Some ofthe top updates that can add value to yourhome inside and out include new sidingoutside, and upgraded bathrooms inside.Large and luxurious master baths are par-ticularly in demand. Other top of the listitems include a new roof (if your currentone is aging or damaged), new windows(again, particularly if you have windowproblems) and an upgraded kitchen. Notso cosmetic but still important includenew heating, cooling and ventilationequipment and, surprisingly, an updated(or at least organized) garage. Dont under-estimate the value of a nice lawn, neat

walkways and other landscaping as well asoutdoor living space. Again, adding an

elaborate outdoor kitchen and expensivedecks and patios probably wont pay foritself except in the most high end develop-ments and competitive markets, so keep

your updates basically within the stan-dards of your neighborhood. In other

words, if most of your neighbors dont havesolid gold faucets and marble floors, youprobably wont get anything more thanpersonal satisfaction out of them either.

4) Put on a new coat of paint. New col-ors inside and out (particularly neutral col-ors) can freshen up an older home beauti-fully and inexpensi vely. Invest in somenew trim: shutters and pergolas and trellis-es outside, crown molding and wainscot-ing and baseboards inside. A bland homecan get a whole new lease on life just byadding a bright color to the front door, or anew color scheme for the siding, trim andso on. Color can be more complicatedthan you think, so take advantage of the

fact that many paint manufacturers arenow offering small quantities inexpensive-ly as samples. Before you paint your wholehouse say, black with orange trim, get a lotof opinions and again, look around theneighborhood to see what others aredoing.

5) Change out your floors. There is somuch available in flooring these days fromlaminate wood floors to custom terra cottatiles to genuine stone to linoleum and car-peting and area rugs and combinationsthereof. If your older home is a sea ofdingy beige carpeting, new floors and newrugs can add value as well as warmth andcomfort.

We offer home energy and leisure prod-ucts aimed at the way we live here inNorthern Michigan, states Mike Westcott,manager of Lifestyles of Gaylord, formerlyknown as Philips Energy. We carry a full lineof alternative heating equipment by Hearth N

Home, including pellet stoves, wood stovesand boilers, and wood-burning and gas fire-places, both free-standing and wall units. Onthe leisure side, we have Brunswick pooltables and a complete inventory of acces-sories, plus three brands of hot tubs andspas.

The variety of products on display in theLifestyles of Gaylord Showroom is astound-ing. Just inside the front entry, an invitingpresentation of Brunswick pool tables greetsthe shopper, creating an immediate urge tograb a pool cue and chalk up.

Westcott points out, The University of Wisconsin performed a test and found thatthe Brunswick Gold Label line, which utilizesa secret rubber materials formula for the

bumpers, is up to forty p ercent more respon-sive than any competing brand. Brunswicktables have always set the standard for play-ing performance and durability.

While the pool tables certainly bringvisions of enjoying afternoons and eveningsshooting a few games with friends, the amaz-ing selection of alternative heating equip-ment on display at Lifestyles of Gaylord pro-vide inspiration for substantial savings onhome energy bills.

Pellet stoves have been a very popularitem, notes Westcott. We carry the numberone and number two brands; Harman and

Quadra-Fire. Pellet stoves are very easy tooperate; with electronic ignition and thermo-static control, it is a very simple way to switchover from traditional natural gas or propaneheating in the home.

And the savings can approach a forty tofifty percent on home heating bills. Even

those who take advantage of the financingavailable at Lifestyles of Gaylord may wellfind they are paying less each month for theequipment and pellets that they would bepaying for their traditional monthly budgeted

heating bill. Its tempting to apply thosemonthly savings to a new pool table or hottub!

Theres no better way to soothe those achesand pains after a hard day at work than tostretch out in a warm, bubbling hot tub sparight at home. Lifestyles of Gaylord offers

three leading hot tub brands; Jacuzzi, whichis the original spa manufacturer that contin-ues setting the standards all others aspire to,as well as Four Winds and SpaTech, lines thatoffer that relaxing home hot tub/spa retreat

experience at a more budget oriented pricepoint.

Lifestyles of Gaylord have an in-house crewof qualified, certified technicians that installand service their products throughout north-ern Lower Michigan.

From a full line of alternative heatingequipment to leisure products that reflect theNorthern Michigan experience, Lifestyles ofGaylord celebrates the way we live, and the

way we relax!

Lifestyles of Gaylord, located on US 27 South in Gaylord, offers a full line of alternative heating products as well as pool tables and hot tub/spas to make the most of

leisure living in northern Lower Michigan.

Spending at locally owned busi-nesses leads to better schools, betterroads and local support of commu-

nity charities and fundraisers.The Wall Street Journal recently

wrote an article that touted the ben-efits of shopping locally. They com-pared the impact of shopping atbusinesses that are owned locallycompared to a business that isowned by an entity from outside ofthe area.

Next time are shopping inNorthern Michigan, consider theimpact that each dollar you spendand how it will return to the com-munity you live in. Every dollar you

spend works about 50% harderwhen it is spent at a locally owned,independent business. That's

according to an online tool thatgauges the economic impact onlocal communities of spending atindependently owned small busi-nesses versus national chains.

Launched by Independent WeStand, a Virginia-based advocacygroup for independent businessowners, the tool shows that for every$10 spent at an independent busi-ness, about $6 is returned to thelocal community in the form of pay-roll taxes and other local expendi-tures. By contrast, only $4 is

returned by national chains.Depending on the size of the city,this could potentially inject millions

into a local economy.As such, spending at local small

businesses "leads to better schools,better roads and more support forother civic necessities such as policedepartments," the group says.

The results are based on a study oflocal retail economics in the Chicagoarea community of Andersonvillethat found local, independentlyowned stores contributed more taxdollars to neighborhood develop-ment than national chains. Thestudy, co-sponsored by their local

chamber of commerce, also foundlocal businesses paid higher wages,used more local goods and services,

and contributed more to communitycharities and fundraisers.

Some Interesting Info...

Spend $100.00 at a locally owned

business and $62 stays in our com-munity

Spend $100.00 in a Nationalchain, only $42 stays in your com-munity

Roscommon The Kirtland Community Theatre part of

the Kirtland Center for the Performing Arts at Kirtland

Community College - is reaching out to local non-profit serv-

ice and civic groups with an unprecedented fundraising

opportunity.

Churches, veterans, service clubs, and civic groups may

choose to sell low-cost tickets throughout their communities

for two live theatre productions at the performing arts center,

and keep a portion of each ticket sold for their cause.

About 1,200 tickets will be available for fundraisers for each

production, starting with the holiday extravaganza featuring

A Christmas Carol Dec. 10 & 11. Groups can retain at least $5

from every $10 - $12 general admission ticket. If just 20 mem-

bers in a group sold as few as five tickets each, their cause

would receive $500, said KCT Producer Jomarie Gurnow.

Instead of executing an event with the worry of catering,

venue, program planning etc., a group can get an instant

financial boost with minimal effort and virtually no expense.

As part of a plan to synchronize the Kirtland Center with

the needs of the communities it serves, the fundraiser pro-

gram can bring the benefits of performance art to more resi-

dents than we can reach just with the performing artist series

or theatre education, Gurnow said. There are people out

there who want to see their friends acting on stage, and peo-

ple who want to get involved in a production themselves but

who dont know where to start. This is another way the

Kirtland Center can enrich their community lifestyle.

Gurnow said. Its a simple way for a group to raise hun-

dreds or thousands of dollars, and our tickets will reach a

wider audience of people than we can access on our own.

Groups who are interested in selling tickets for A Christmas

Carol in December and a second show early next year should

contact Gurnow at the above extension.

New Step Forward

awareness effort spurs8,900 homeowners to

apply for aid since April

LANSING The Michigan State HousingDevelopment Authority announced it hasreceived nearly 9,000 applications for foreclo-sure prevention assistance during the pastfive months since the launch of a new StepForward publicity campaign. The StepForward awareness effort has helped con-tribute to a 16 percent decline in Michigansforeclosure activity in July from the previousmonth and a 42 percent decrease in foreclo-sure activity from July 2010, MSHDA officialssaid.

We are pleased that MSHDAs innovativeprograms are allowing distressed homeown-

ers to avoid foreclosure, said Mary Townley,director of MSHDAs HomeownershipDivision. We will continue to urge strugglingMichigan homeowners who are collectingunemployment, have seen wage cuts or havehad a medical emergency to visit the statesnew Web site

www.stepforwardmichigan.org and submittheir applications online.

Michigan received its $498.6 million in fed-eral funding for the Hardest Hit program inthree allotments last year from the Troubled

Asset Relief Program, administered by theU.S. Departments of Treasury and Housingand Urban Development (HUD). MSHDAs

plan is designed to help homeowners who areat risk of foreclosure and have experienced a

substantial reduction in income due to invol-untary unemployment, underemployment,or a medical condition. MSHDA expects tohelp nearly 39,000 households in Michigan by2014.

Three MSHDA programs are available toeligible applicants:

Mortgage-payment assistance for thosereceiving unemployment benefits of up to$750 a month for up to 12 months, or a totalof $9,000. At the end of 12 months, home-owners still in arrears are potentially eligiblefor an additional $3,000 in assistance fromMSHDA.

Up to $10,000 in funds for homeowners who have fallen behind on mortgage pay-ments because of a temporary layoff or med-ical emergency.

Matching funds for principal reductions for

homeowners who cant afford mortgage pay-ments because their income was cut. This would provide up to a $10,000 principalreduction from the state and one that ismatched by their lender.

On March 1, 2011, MSHDA staff wasreviewing or had approved only 1,114 clientapplications for assistance from the statesHardest Hit Fund. In mid-March, as part ofMSHDAs statewide education effort to pro-mote the Hardest Hit program, MSHDA part-nered with locally elected officials, banks,credit unions and nonprofit housing coun-selors to train staff, provide information andencourage their clients to visit MSHDAs new

Step Forward Michigan Web site for an updat-

ed list of mortgage servicers that are partici-

pating in the program.In addition, MSHDA unveiled a series of

public service announcements (PSAs) in

newspapers and on radio and television sta-

tions across Michigan in March. The PSAs

have continued to air throughout the sum-

mer and instruct at-risk homeowners to con-

tact MSHDA to determine if they are eligible

for the program.

Since the kick-off of the Step Forward

campaign, MSHDA staff has received 8,968

Hardest Hit applications, for a combined

total of 10,082 applications. The average

amount of assistance per program is $2,682

for an unemployment subsidy, $4,900 for arescue program subsidy and $10,000 for a

principal curtailment, MSHDA records show.

As Michigan rebuilds for a new future, one

of the biggest challenges we face is keeping

families in their homes while the job market

recovers, Townley said. The partnership

MSHDA has forged among the state, credit

unions and banks provides a free crucial

resource that helps bridge the financial gap

for unemployed and underemployed borrow-

ers.

Newly Formed Non-ProfitHelps Families of First

Responders

The Cheboygan County 100 Club proudlyannounces its creation. The CheboyganCounty 100 Club is a non-profit organizationestablished to provide financial assistance tofamilies of Cheboygan County firefighters,law enforcement officers, first responders orambulance personnel injured, disabled orkilled serving Cheboygan County.

The first 100 Club was established in WayneCounty in the early 1950s. The 100 Club is anational organization that has establisheditself in 42 states and more the 40 countriesaround the globe - including 7 in the state ofMichigan. The Cheboygan County 100 Club isthe first rural branch established in Michigan.The founder of the Cheboygan County 100Club, Richard Kolb, identified CheboyganCountys need for this organization due to thefact that many of Cheboygan Countys fire-fighters, ambulance personnel, law enforce-ment officers and first responders make mea-ger wages and/or volunteer their time, serv-ice and efforts to ensure the safety and well-being of all Cheboygan County residents.Kolb stated, If we have a vol-unteer firefighter seriouslyinjured in the line of duty, he

may be away from his day jobfor a period of time; there-fore, he loses his income andability to provide for his fam-ily. Ultimately, his family suf-fers greatly for his honorablevolunteer service. Our goal asan organization is to providefinancial assistance to thatindividual and his family in

the event a situation like this occurs.The Cheboygan County 100 Club is asking

community members to make a generousdonation. The organization offers differentmembership levels and also accepts one timedonations. Any donation is welcomed andgreatly appreciated.

Thoughts on...It is better to have taken some risks and lostthan to have done nothing and succeeded at it.

Daily WordTHURSDAY: Judges 9:16-19 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 16 Now therefore, if you have dealt in truth and

integrity in making Abimelech king, and if you have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have dealt

with him as he deserved 17 for my father fought for you and risked his life and delivered you from the hand

of Midian; 18 but you have risen against my fathers house today and have killed his sons, seventy men, on one

stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your

relative 19 if then you have dealt in truth and integrity with Jerubbaal and his house this day, rejoice in

Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you.

FRIDAY: 1 Chronicles 11:17-19 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 17 David had a craving and said, Oh that someone

would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate! 18 So the three broke through

the camp of the Philistines and drew water from the well of Bethlehem which was by the gate, and took it and

brought it to David; nevertheless David would not drink it, but poured it out to the LORD; 19 and he said, Be

it far from me before my God that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of these men who went at the risk of

their lives? For at the risk of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things the

three mighty men did.

SATURDAY: Acts 15:25-27 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 25 it seemed good to us, having become of one mind,to select men to send to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26 men who have risked their lives for the

name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will also report the

same things by word of mouth.

SUNDAY: Romans 16:3-4 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 3 Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ

Jesus, 4 who for my life risked their own necks, to whom not only do I give thanks, but also all the churches of

the Gentiles;

MONDAY: Philippians 2:29-30 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 29 Receive him then in the Lord with all joy, and

hold men like him in high regard; 30 because he came close to death for the work of Christ, risking his life to

complete what was deficient in your service to me.

TUESDAY:Acts 9:1-2 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 1 Now Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the

disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest, 2 and asked for letters from him to the synagogues at Damascus,

so that if he found any belonging to the Way, both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

WEDNESDAY: Acts 4:29 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 29 And now, Lord, take note of their threats, and

grant that Your bond-servants may speak Your word with all confidence,

Robert F. Kennedy once said, "Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever

achieve greatly." Today, more than ever, America needs people who are will-

ing to fail in order to succeed. The courage to fail is what has made our

nation strong. For example: the Wright brothers risked their lives to prove

man could fly. Because of their many failures and finally their success, we

humans are able to travel to the other side of the globe in less than a day.Did you know that there were many in the Bible that had to fail before they

could succeed? One of them was Jesus follower, Peter. This guy failed over

and over, but he never gave up. In Matt. 14, Peter saw Jesus walking on the

water. He decided hed give it a try. As he stepped out of the boat and

walked toward Jesus, Peters faith left him and he began to sink Jesus then

rescued him. Some say Peter failed, but did he? Peter was the only one will-

ing to get out of the boat while the other disciples cowered. A couple chap-

ters later, Jesus told Peter, Now I say to you that you are Peter (which

means 'rock'), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers

of hell will not conquer it (NLT). Jesus chose Peter to build His church

upon. Was it because Peter was perfect and never failed? No! To the con-

trary, Peter was willing to take chances even if it meant hed look stupid and

today we have the Gospel message in large part because Peter was willing to

fail.

What does God want to accomplish through you? Are you willing to fail a

few times in order to achieve God-sized goals? You may get some bruises

along the way; however, the risks you take today will eventually lead to your

successes tomorrow. I have said this many times, You are only a failure if

you stop getting back up. So get up, get going and achieve big for God and

country.

Gaylord Otsego Memorial Hospital (OMH) and the OMHMedical Group would like to welcome Dirk Bowman, MD, toOMH General Surgery, joining John Moffat, MD, FACS, FRCS,and Troy Sargent, MD, FACS. Dr. Bowman is accepting newpatients.

Dr. Bowman received his Bachelor of Science degree inNatural Science in 2002 from the University of Akron in Akron,OH. He was named to the Deans List multiple times duringhis academic career at the University of Akron, and was also arecipient of the Ohio Board of Regents Scholarship and theMargery Hubbs Scholarship for his decision to pursue medi-cine. Following completion of his undergraduate education,Dr. Bowman attended the Northeastern Ohio UniversitiesCollege of Medicine (NOUCM) at Rootstown, OH, where hereceived his Doctorate of Medicine in 2006.

Medicine was the most practical application to my interestin natural science and biology, said Dr. Bowman. It wasntuntil my third year of rotations that I discovered my interest ingeneral surgery, but I really like the hands on aspect of this

specialty and made my decision based on that.In 2011, Dr. Bowman completed his five year Categorical

General Surgery residency program at the Akron CityHospital, SUMMA Health Systems, in Akron, where he gainedextensive general surgery experience, including advanced

laparoscopic experience and his Fundamentals of

Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) certification. During his time at

Akron City Hospital, he was exposed to and gained experience

in significant trauma, as well as vascular, cardiothoracic, col-

orectal, endocrine, and endoscopic cases, procedures and

treatments.

The quality of the organization as a whole is what attract-

ed me, said Dr. Bowman in regards to his choice of Otsego

Memorial Hospital and the OMH Medical Group. And the

region; this area really fits my personality and personal inter-

ests. Dr. Bowman enjoys backpacking, hiking, kayaking and

other outdoor activities, all of which can p resent challenges of

their own, and parallels his thoughts regarding practicing

medicine.

He has special interest in minimally invasive, endoscopy,

and colonoscopy procedures. Im dedicated to my patients,

and I want them to feel that they can have a very open and

honest relationship with me regarding their health situation

and subsequent treatment and follow up, commented Dr.Bowman. I enjoy the challenging cases that present them-

selves.

To schedule an appointment with Dr. Bowman, Moffat, or

Sargent, please call (989) 731-7987.

all that we do, and their efforts and generosity truly make a

difference throughout our healthcare system and the com-

munities we serve together. We are very grateful for their

continued partnership here at Mercy Hospital Grayling.

By Josh Riverside

At a research study held in a university in Norfolk, Virginia,

it was found that 84 percent of men suffering from hair loss

were preoccupied with the loss. They described feelings of

helplessness, vulnerability, and jealousy of men with full,

healthy heads of hair. Men who had begun losing their hair

in their early twenties were more likely to have problems

with low self-esteem.

Male hair loss occurs because of a hormone imbalance.

The medical term for male-pattern baldness is Androgenetic

Alopecia. This term will help you understand the factorsinvolved in excessive male hair loss. Androgen refers to anyof the many hormones that control the appearance anddevelopment of masculine traits. An example is testosterone.Genetic refers to heredity, the inheritance of genes fromeither the mother or father. Alopecia simply means hair loss.So we could say that male hair loss occurs because of malehormones affected by genetic inheritance.

DHT (testosterone and 5-alpha-reductase) is a naturallyoccurring hormone that helps in sexual development.Genetic switches in certain men after puberty cause changesin hair follicles; specifically androgen receptor sites on thefollicles that regulate healthy hair growth. As DHT levelsincrease as men age, binding at the follicle receptor sitesincreases. This causes an imbalance in the biologicalprocesses of the hair follicles that are more sensitive. Slowly,

the follicles begin to degrade as DHT builds up on the sitecausing hair to grow back thinner and shorter, eventuallymaking it so thin and short that it can't be seen.

Men lose their hair in different ways based on their genet-ic predisposition. Male hair loss usually involves receding atthe temples, loss on the top of the head, and thinning overlarge areas. These patterns are identified on somethingcalled the "Norwood scale," which classifies different typesof hair loss.
