It started when his youngest daughter, Tammy picked Sanchin-Ryu Karate as the special activity she could share with her Dad once a week. Now Dan Carlton dons a 4th degree Black Belt and is known by hundreds as Sensei Dan. “I didn’t really know anything about Sanchin-Ryu when Tammy wanted me to go with her,” Dan explained. “I loved it immediately. The philosophy is great and I have grown a lot from it. It has helped me understand myself much better…and we know how hard that can be, right?” he added with a laugh. In 1991 Dan joined the Okinawan Sanchin-Ryu Karate Association and began instructing in 1995. Since that time, Sensei Dan has been a volunteer instructor year-round with classes offered through Stockbridge Community

Education. “This is a sport that fits everyone in the family, at all ages, and fitness levels. It is a non-competitive style based on self-control, both physically and mentally”, Sensei Dan explained. “We also offer something I consider very important. It is called Project Secure Child and it teaches children what strangers and bullies are, how to identify them and what to do when you encounter them. It’s something I think all kids should learn about.” Sensei Dan seems as passionate about the other things in his life, as well. Together, Dan and his wife Kay have five grown children and with great pride in his voice and a huge smile, he gladly tells of their nine grandchildren, ranging in age from one month to eleven years. Kay and Dan try to make a point of spending a

The Forgotten “Thank You” by Julie Glair, freelance writer

It wasn’t long ago that we were preoccupied with the price of gas on a daily basis. We were each searching for the cheapest place to buy. As that pressure has lessened somewhat, we must continue to make good economic decisions about where to spend our money. One excellent choice is to buy close to home. There are many well-documented benefits to each of us and to our communities when we choose to frequent local, independently owned businesses. Of course, it is not always possible to buy what you need locally, but you owe it to yourself and your community to always “Think Local First”. Please realize that when you buy from an independent, locally owned business, rather than a nationally owned business, significantly more of your money is used to make purchases from other local businesses, and services – thus strengthening the economic base of our communities. Another benefit is that non-profit organizations receive an average of 250% more support from small business owners than they do from large businesses. In these economic times, that is more important than ever. Your dollars spent in locally owned businesses have three times the impact on our communities as dollars spent at national chains. When you shop locally, you simultaneously create jobs, fund more city and village services through sales tax, invest in neighborhood improvement and promote community development. Also consider that local stores help keep our towns viable, compact and walkable, which in turn helps to reduce sprawl, automobile use, habitat loss, and air and water pollution. Staying local helps to create more good jobs and get better service. Small local businesses are the largest employers nationally and in our communities, providing the most jobs to residents. They often hire people with a better understanding of the products they are selling and take more time to get to know their customers. So, the bottom line is this: If you’re hungry, choose a locally owned restaurant. If you need fresh produce, check out the farmers’ market and local vegetable stands. If you’re a business, buy your goods from local suppliers. The real power we have to shape and strengthen our economy lies in the residents like you and me. So, please “Think Local First”.

Leslie, Michigan, March 31, 2009 – In a move aimed at saving district funds, Leslie Public Schools has requested and received bids from area firms for grounds keeping and custodial services. The process provides companies with an opportunity to bid on school services that have traditionally been handled by school employees. The school district is facing a deficit in excess of $700,000 in preparing for next year’s budget. “Our financial situation is such that we have to consider all cost-saving options,” said Superintendent Corey Netzley. “We cannot afford to function in a business as usual fashion. The decision to consider subcontracting custodial, grounds keeping and other support services could potentially save the district hundreds of thousand of dollars per year. Our community expects us to make wise use of our limited funds. In these difficult times, we simply cannot overlook this option.” “While we want to work with the union and our own employees to find ways to improve efficiencies and cost savings, we often find it difficult to compete with firms that have a specific area as their core mission,” said Netzley. “In light of continued frozen state revenues and skyrocketing health, retirement, step, and energy costs we will reallocate resources to the

classroom whenever possible.” With eight bids already in, the district is examining the potential cost savings, evaluating companies, and reviewing work responsibilities to ensure that such a move allows for a continued high standard of facility cleanliness and quality. “Any move to an outside firm will include a requirement to maintain high standards of cleanliness.” While expressing concern for employees and unhappiness with the state budget situation for schools, Superintendent Netzley was also adamant about the importance of maintaining high educational standards. “We will not be distracted from our core mission of providing a quality education for every child in Leslie Public Schools,” said Netzley. “While this is a difficult time, we must remain focused on maintaining a standard of excellence that draws families and students to our schools.”

Leslie Public Schools Receives Bids for Custodial and Grounds Keeping Work

Conner Tobin Caught “Doing The Right Thing”

If you know me well at all you will know that this is one of my favorite phrases and something I have tried to carry forth into this publication. When you “Do The Right Thing” you don’t have to worry about the outcome. You will sleep better at night. Well I would like to recognize a local man for “Doing The Right Thing”. Children love to celebrate their birthday’s and I know that the only two things my children worry about seem to be who will be there and what they will bring as a gift. Well one local young man choose to celebrate his birthday in a truly special way. Conner Tobin recently celebrated his 9th birthday and instead of having his guests bring him presents he asked that they bring a non-perishable food item that he would then donate to the local food bank. Conner is a student at White Pine Academy and is in Melissa Davis’ third grade class. He is the son of Michael & Julie Tobin and the brother of Elena and Tori. We would like to thank Conner for his thoughtfulness and wish him a special Happy Birthday!

COMMUNITY CALENDER


“A Simple Lifestyle” Nelva Lampart

Hello everybody, Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise His holy name. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases’ (isn’t that the best news you’ve ever heard) He redeems my life from the pit and crowns me with love and compassion. Psalm 103:1-4 God’s wonderful healing promises are for everybody, not just a select few, we all can get in on this. I’m convinced that as you learn to trust your Daddy God you will begin to know your purpose, and how to live. A vegan lifestyle works beautiful for us, although I know this is different for most. I’ll begin by going over some of the benefits I wrote last month. Ø You have healthy elimination; we all need this to get rid of the toxins. Ø You feel better Ø You look better Ø Your bones feel good Ø You have a lean body weight Ø You have less overall health problems and Ø You have abundant energy (Everybody needs this) Everybody has an agenda, so do I, I’m going to talk about some of the things we do during the week. What it’s like to live a simple lifestyle. Ø We have an electric Distiller which runs and makes distilled water every day, and once in awhile we use our stove top Distiller when our 3 ½ Gallon containers get low. Ø We make two different kinds of milk rice and cashew Ø We have an EasyGreen sprouter this needs to be changed daily (Different kinds of sprouts or salad and sandwich). Ø Salsa this is very good

Ø Muffins I choose from 3 to 4 recipes. Ø Salad is prepared for the week, chopping, slicing and dicing, I know there’s much more to life then food preparation, but your quality of life will depend on it. One of our meals could be washed potatoes, cut into large French fries and then placed on a non stick baking pan and into the oven at 425 degrees for 35mins, then 5 minutes on broil, and we will have a beautiful salad filled with veggies, our salad dressing will be Braggs Amino, Lemon Juice, Flax Seed Oil, and Apple Cider Vinegar. When we are done with these kinds of meals with all the protein and fiber in it, it’s just what the doctor ordered. You can be well, and healthy it’s up to you! I’m busy but most that I do promotes wellness and contributes to right living. Embracing simple living requires a change in thinking; and this is our life journey. For me to just get into the car and taking off for the day is not something I usually do, but on occasion I get crazy and I’ll go out and do something different, this too is required to stay happy with life. This lifestyle requires me to be home more and I love it, I’ve never known this kind of serenity. I’ve learned a lot about life since I’ve become a vegan, and one of the things is God really wants us to enjoy being with yourself, and learn how to like yourself in a balanced way. This life is about Christ it’s not about you and me. You can live a quiet peaceable life if you want to, although it is difficult to mind your own business, and become an intentional thinker, instead of excepting anything that comes into your mind. We’ve all heard things like I’m going to get out of the rat race or get off the fast lane; you know like stop the world and let me off! The reason we think this way is because we go and go and go and we wonder, what it is all about. The solution for our hurried lifestyles is

week in warm weather during our cold northern winters. He loves to hunt and fish and has taken several fly-in fishing trips. Building is something else he enjoys. He’s been on the Board of Directors at First Baptist Church in Stockbridge for seven years. Now, semi-retired he is a Home Inspector and previously worked as a Senior Engineer and Project Manager at Flow Robotics in Novi for years. Dan was born in Detroit and raised in Livonia, Michigan. He moved to Stockbridge in 1974. “I love the area. People are very caring here,” Sensei Dan said. When he reflects back to his parents and their influence on him, he warmly shares, “My Mom and Dad taught me the value of positive thinking. I remember that whenever I would say something negative, my Mom would have two things positive to add. Attitude does make a difference in life. I generally enjoy what I do, whether it’s digging up a septic system on a home inspection or starting up a new Life Group at church.” When asked why, after 14 years, he continues to volunteer his time and expertise by teaching Sanchin-Ryu, Sensei Dan replied, “It’s something I really believe in. Often someone stops me and tells me I taught their daughter or son years ago, and it really helped them develop into the person they are now. I know I have made a difference and touched their lives and that in-turn encourages me to be the best I can be. We all are influenced by other people in our lives, and I choose to be a positive influence to those I meet.” For that, Sensei Dan Carlton, we thank you for what you do, for all of us!

Varsity Softball

Team Showing Promise Submitted by Coach Hejnal

The varsity softball team dropped a doubleheader last week to Laingsburg 12-2 and 11-9. The first game was marred by errors and a lack of offense, as the Panthers committed 7 errors and had only three hits. Megan Okorowski struck out three and walked one in taking the loss. In the night cap, the errors hurt again, but the offense found it's groove as the Panthers pounded out 12 hits, but still committed 7 errors. The offensive outburst was spread evenly throughout the line-up as four different players had two hits apiece. Okorowski had three RBI’s to go along with her two hits and Chrystal Maschke drove in a pair of runs with her two hits. Emily Lewis and Jade Gibson were the other two Panthers to pick up multiple hits. Cassie Lance also delivered a two run scoring double. Okorowski again suffered the defeat while striking out five. Of the 23 runs scored by Laingsburg only 6 were earned. "If our defense can improve, we will become very competitive very quickly. The girls are working extremely hard in practice and it is only going to be a matter of time."

Anna Rudd of Leslie runs to victory in the 1600M run.

There is a t-shirt in one of my catalogs that says, “Careful, or you’ll end up in my novel”. Now while I don’t have a novel, I do have this column. And now that more people are reading, I’m finding that whenever something “story worthy” happens, people turn to me with total panic in their eyes and blurt out, “Don’t write about this!” And like any writer knows, being in the right place at the right time is what it’s all about. So for someone to ask me not to tell what I’ve just seen is really disappointing. So when a good “would be story” comes my way, I jump on it greedily. But then, alas, it is yanked away with an emphatic “No!” Which parallels this story. A few months ago, I was getting a tooth filled at my dentist in Stockbridge. Okay, I’ll just say it: Dr. Dobos. There. This next part is kinda peculiar, but it does have a point: I love it when my mouth is numb. I don’t enjoy getting numb per se, but once I’m there, it’s sheer nirvana. And the other part that is unusual is that I don’t mind going to the dentist. I like Dr. Dobos because he is a good dentist and he listens to my stories and laughs at them! Of course he can’t do his job until I shut up, so maybe he’s just being polite and biding his time. (Or would that be “biting” his time?) No, I‘m going to go with he finds me amusing. So anyway, when I was told I had a cavity, well three, I was elated. It’s not like I purposely refrain from brushing just so I can get numb. It’s just a happy coincidence. So. Not only did I need to have three cavities filled, but they were on opposite sides of my mouth, and one was on the top and two were on the bottom. We’re

talking Novocain all around, friends! Being the professional he is, Dr. Dobos had already numbed one side and was proceeding to numb the other side. Then he stopped abruptly, and left me sitting there, dreading the awful shot but nearly hysterical with anticipation for the wonderful numbing that would follow. With the little shot trigger poised just above my mouth, he said thoughtfully, “Y’know, I can give you the shot here,” he paused to run a rubber covered finger along my gum, “and that will make the entire side of your mouth numb.” Now if my mouth hadn’t already been opened, it would’ve opened then. My eyes lit up and I grinned up at him with a crooked smile. A little puddle of drool ran out of the side of my mouth as I shook my head up and down enthusiastically. “Unh, yak! Gak yee eww akk?” He stood over me with a thoughtful look, and replied, “Yeah, I could. But it’s really not good for you.” I could see him starting to waiver. I shook my head back and forth, trying to convey excitement through my eyes. “Eeeks okeh! Ah dun cak!”

By this time he had taken a few steps back, and I knew I was losing him. He still had the shot gun in his hand, but was lowering it slightly as more time elapsed. I motioned to my mouth and nodded, giving him the thumbs up. “Ahh won tek a-one.” By now, he had pulled the mask down off of his face. “You know, Corinda,” he began. “I’m not sure the insurance company would be happy if I billed them for an entire mouth numbing. And then there’s your article. What would people say if they knew I numbed you for pure pleasure?” Of course, Dr. Dobos was only kidding about the article. I think. He is a great dentist and I love him dearly, but at this moment I had had enough. “Ewk jess howd de cankee in fwonk of me, den yak eet eway!” I forced indignation. “Awk wonk tek. Pweask?” I pleaded. Dr. Dobos slowly shook his head. “No, sorry. I just don’t think I can do it. We’ll just numb partly as planned.” So pouting with bitter disappointment, I sat and endured the shot and felt the tiny, tingle creep up one small part of my mouth. Later, as I sat chatting with Dr. Dobos before catapulting myself out of the chair, (I always forget to let the chair be lowered first) I asked him if I could relay this story. Not that I had any immediate plans to, but I like to keep my memory (aka: The Rubbermaid) full and my story options open. So it is with his blessing, I can actually relate a story about the goings-on in a small dental practice in Stockbridge. And if you do happen to pay Dr. Dobos a visit, tell him I sent you. I’ll get a discount on his teeth-whitening services. Which I so desperately need!

Simplicity. Yes! It’s really not complicated once you decide to do it, it’s simply a slower pace, learning to think different and giving yourself time (margin) in all that you do, get your priorities straight and enjoy the moment you’re in. The highest honor we could give to Daddy God would be to enjoy a healthy lifestyle, he died for us to have this, so we need to be about the Fathers business and learn what this lifestyle looks like.

Until next month enjoy the clean humor! Extreme Makeover…….. A middle-aged woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital. While on the operating table, she had a near-death experience. Seeing God, she asked, “Is my time up?” “No, you have another 43 year 2 months’ and 8 days to live,” God said. After the woman recovered, she decided that if she had that much time left, she was going to make the most of it. She went to her hairdresser for permanent and a color rinse. Then she returned to the hospital to have some liposuction, a face-lift and a tummy tuck. After her last operation, she left the hospital. While crossing the street, a truck struck and killed her. When the woman got to Heaven, she told God, “I thought you said I had another 40 years to live! Why didn’t you pull me from the path of that truck?” God just shrugged. “I didn’t recognize you,” He said.

The following commentary was written by State Representative Barb Byrum (D-Onondaga). If you have any questions,

please call her office at (517) 373-0587. With spring upon us, Michigan residents should be preparing for the many thunderstorms, tornadoes, windstorms and flooding that our state is bound to experience over the next few months. Because of the dangers of spring's unpredictable weather patterns, we observed Severe Weather Awareness Week last week, March 29th to April 4th. As chair of the House Committee on Insurance, I have become increasingly aware of the losses we all face on a daily basis, whether through a car accident, strong winds or other situations far out of our control. Unfortunately, many of us do not have the proper insurance to protect our most valuable assets. To prepare for severe weather, residents should:

Know the safest location for shelter in their home, workplace and school. Load bearing walls near the center of the basement or lowest level generally provide the greatest protection. Know the location of designated shelter areas in local

public facilities, such as schools, shopping centers and other public buildings. Have emergency supplies on hand, including a battery-operated radio, flashlight, supply of fresh batteries, water, first-aid kit and cell phone. Make an inventory of household furnishings and other possessions (either written or camera). Another thing everyone should do is re-familiarize themselves and their families with the severe weather

alerts. A tornado watch or severe thunderstorm watch means that we should be on the look out for severe thunderstorms and tornadoes as they are possible. A tornado warning means that a tornado has been spotted or is indicated on Doppler radar. If a tornado warning is issued, go immediately to the basement or a small interior room on the lowest level. Keep away from chimneys and windows. Opt for a shelter over mobile homes and cars. Homeowners also should take the time to review their insurance coverage at least annually to make sure it is adequate. It is also important to maintain an up-to-date inventory of personal property. Tornadoes are considered "windstorms" and are covered by most homeowners' policies. Residents should also be aware that regular homeowner's insurance policies do not cover damages that result from flooding. Flood insurance coverage is a separate policy and only available through a federal program; however, in Michigan only about 15 percent of structures subject to flooding are actually insured against the risk. Join me in making sure you are ready for Michigan's

6 Reasons Why It's Still a Good Time to Buy The housing market is looking healthier. Here are six reasons why now is the time to jump into the market. 1. Uncle Sam is willing to help. First-time buyers (defined as anyone who hasn’t owned a home in the last three years) are entitled to a maximum $8,000 tax credit; interest rates are at record lows; and the Federal Reserve is doing its best to make mortgage loans available. 2. People have to live somewhere. About 800,000 new households are formed each year in this country, ensuring that the housing market will tighten, even if the economy doesn’t soar. 3. Borrowers leverage their investment. If you put $10,000 into the stock market and it earns 10 percent, you’ve earned $1,000. If you put $10,000 down on a home and its values increases 10 percent, you’ve made $10,000. 4. When prices come back up, you’ll have instant equity. In parts of the country where foreclosures have driven down prices, better times will mean the price of the home you buy will rise rapidly. 5. Mortgage costs stay the same. If you get a fixed-rate mortgage, the monthly

payment stays the same – while everything else, including rent, goes upward. 6. You own it. There is something comforting in the notion that your home is your own. You can paint it any color you want, let the dog run in the back yard and hang a swing for the kids in the front.
