A Charlevoix County commissionerand the county’s prosecutor have fileda motion for summary disposition andan Answer to a Complaint that namedthem as individual defendants, alongwith the board of commissioners andthe county prosecutor’s office.

e motion for summary disposi-tion asks the court to dismiss commis-sioner Chris Christensen andprosecutor John A. Jarema from thelawsuit filed by the Petoskey News-Re-view in Emmet County Circuit Courton Aug. 2. e lawsuit was brought bythe newspaper for alleged non-com-pliance to Freedom of Information Act

requests.e motion to dismiss states that

Christensen and Jarema are not a“public body” as defined by the Michi-gan Open Meetings Act and that thereis no legal basis to name Christensenand Jarema as individual defendants inthe case. A hearing on the motion isscheduled for October 17 in EmmetCounty Circuit Court.

e case revolves around theCharlevoix County commissionersusing iPads and laptop computers inpublic meetings when the citizens whoattend cannot see or hear the e-mailcommunications that commissionersmay be sending to each other duringthe meetings. e newspaper asked for

copies of e-mails among the board ofcommissioners and included the pros-ecutor.

e Open Meetings Act authorizedby Attorney General Bill Schuettestates that commissioners are allowedto use the electronic media so long asthe elected officials are not deliberat-ing toward decision-making, makingactual decisions or conducting a vote.

In response to the Petoskey News-Review’s Complaint defendants allegethat the requests for e-mail communi-cations were “vague and overbroad”and further that the e-mails are per-sonal, do not pertain to county busi-ness or are exempt by attorney-clientprivilege.

Don’t miss the opportunity tomake a most pleasurable pas-sage across the MackinacBridge this coming Labor Daymorning. e Annual Mack-inac Bridge Labor Day Walk,lead by Governor Rick Snyder,begins at 7 am and walkers willbe allowed to depart from theSt, Ignace side of the bridge upuntil 11 am.

is is the 54th year for theLabor Day Bridge Walk, follow-ing a tradition that began in1958. ousands will gatheron the lawn of the MackinacBridge Authority, many show-ing up well before sunrise, wait-ing for the 7 am start time toarrive. e stroll is some26,372 feet (about five miles)across the bridge to MackinawCity, which takes about twohours at a leisurely pace, andthe second half of the trek is alldownhill. Keep in mind thatbaby strollers and wheelchairsare allowed, but wagons, skate-boards, bicycles, pets, smoking,signs and banners are not. Re-member; there are no rest-rooms on the bridge - so youmay want to reconsider havingthat morning cup of coffee.

Having made this journeyseveral times, I can attest that itis an exhilarating opportunityto see this majestic structure upclose, marvel at the incredibleengineering involved, extraor-dinary workmanship, and anindescribable beauty which

take a walkacross the

“Mighty Mac”on labor Day

on labor Day, thousands will enjoy thethrill of a lifetime by strolling theMighty Mac. During peak summertimeseason, the bridge transports more ve-hicles across the Straits of Mackinacin a single month than the ferry systemdid in an entire year when it was in op-eration.

North Central Michigan College hasreceived a $150,000 grant to expand anew course at the college that was cre-ated to help improve the academic suc-cess rate of its students. e course,“First Year Experience,” was developedand tested at North Central over thepast several years primarily for studentswhose test results indicate a need for de-velopmental support in English ormathematics.

Data collected at the college haveshown that students who perform wellin this course are more likely to remainin school and earn higher overall gradepoint averages.

e Michigan College Access Net-work (MCAN), based in Lansing, hasawarded the grant to North Central overthree years to help make the course

available to an increasing number of col-lege students and, in the near future,area high schools.

MCAN awards grant money to cer-tain community colleges in Michiganwhich are employing interventionsshown by data collection and analysis tosupport student success. All of the eligi-ble community colleges for this round ofMCAN grants are participants in a na-tionwide, grant-funded initiative called“Achieving the Dream,” that seeks tohelp more students be successful in col-lege.

e First Year Experience course isone of several initiatives undertaken byNorth Central for that purpose. eother initiatives involve required advis-ing for certain students, an early alertprogram for students who are struggling

in school, a reading apprenticeship pro-gram and “learning communities”which bring students together in groupsto foster support and encouragementduring college.

North Central Michigan College is anopen-door community college based inPetoskey. rough its University Centerpartnerships, students can take coursesleading to certificates, bachelor’s andmaster’s degrees from participating uni-versities. North Central’s Institute forBusiness & Industry Training offersnon-credit job skills training tailored tomeet individual needs. In addition to itsmain campus in Petoskey, North Centraloffers classes, academic advising, testingand other services in Cheboygan, Gay-lord and East Jordan.

Prepping foran emergency

Dear Dave,My husband needs a liver

transplant within the nexttwo years, because he hasHepatitis C. We make about$70,000 a year, but we have$25,000 in debt. He’s still ableto work right now, and wehave health insurance, buthow can we prepare for theoperation and medical bills?

NikkiDear Nikki,God bless you guys. It’s

going to be tough, becauseyou’re going to face a lengthyloss of income, and sky-highmedical bills even if every-thing goes well. I’m reallysorry you have to go throughthis. Life can be hard enoughwithout major health issuesknocking you for a loop.

e good news is thatthere’s something you can doabout all this, and it all startswith saving. First, set aside anemergency fund of three tosix months of expenses asquickly as you can. In yourcase, I’d recommend leaningtoward the six month side.Second, you guys need tohave no life for the next yearor two, and get very seriousabout paying off as muchdebt as possible aer you getyour emergency fund inplace. I’m talking about fol-lowing a very strict budget,and living on rice and beans.Bottom line? e less debtyou have, the better off you’llbe.

Wouldn’t you love to bedebt-free and have sixmonths of expenses in thebank before they perform thisoperation? You can do it, if itbecomes important enoughto make it priority one!

—Dave

Who’s liable?Dear Dave,I attend a small church

with about 100 members.ere is a $97,000 mortgageat 8.75 percent on the build-ing, and the note was signedonly by the pastor. In theevent of default, are the mem-bers of the congregation li-able?

CharleneDear Charlene,Unless you signed the note,

you are not liable. If the pas-tor signed the note person-ally, or on behalf of the

congrega-tion, itwould actu-ally dependon the word-ing in thenote as towho is liablein case of de-fault.

But thiswhole situation is kind ofsilly, and I’ll tell you why. Ifeveryone in the congregationgave an extra $83 a month intheir tithe – that’s only about$20 more every Sunday – youcould have this mortgageknocked out in a year! ere’sabsolutely no reason for yourchurch to be in debt 12months from now.

is is a prime example ofwhat happens when a churchadopts the same mentality asthe rest of the world. eBible itself warns us that theborrower is slave to thelender!

—Dave

I want to open afranchise, but …

Dear Dave,I’ve always been intrigued

by the restaurant businessand wanted to open one ofmy own. Recently, the oppor-tunity presented itself to opena McDonald’s franchise. I re-ally want to do this, but itwould take years for me tosave up the money. Is it okayto borrow money to start abusiness?

JimDear Jim,It will take longer to save

up the money and open thebusiness debt-free, but that’sexactly what you should do.Most small businesses failwithin the first five years.One of the main reasons forthese failures is the struggleto repay debt.

If you’re into restaurants,try starting small with acatering business out of yourhome. is will give you ataste of managing your ownfood service business, and letyou know if you really likethat kind of work.

It will also give you the op-portunity to make and savesome money. at way, whenyour restaurant dream be-comes a reality you can hon-estly say that you own thebusiness instead of it owningyou!

QUESTION: I'm struggling with how tokeep my kids motivated throughoutthe school year. In past years, I've feltlike the cheerleader, constantly en-couraging them to take school seri-ously. How can I make this yeardifferent?

Juli: Truth be told, many parents aredreading the beginning of a new schoolyear even more than their children forjust the reason you mentioned. It takes alot of energy to motivate kids to stay ontop of their work!

One key to starting out the year on apositive note is to begin with realisticand objective goals as a source of moti-vation. Whereas the right kind of goalscan be encouraging, the wrong goals canadd to feelings of apathy and failure.

First of all, make sure the goals youhelp your kids set are realistic. For ex-ample, most children are not capable ofgetting all A's and stop trying when theyreceive their first subpar grade. So, in-stead, how about setting the goal of get-ting a higher math grade than you didlast year or turning in your assignmentson time?

Secondly, your child's goals should beobjective or measurable. Having the goalof "working hard" may sound inspiring,but it will feel like nailing Jell-O to a treeunless there is an objective way of seeingprogress.

Finally, remember that not all schoolgoals should be academic. Althoughgrades are important, your child mayalso need to focus on goals more relatedto character or social skills.

Whether your children are enteringkindergarten or college, help them tocreate a goal or two and write themdown. Younger children may need tohave their goals mapped on a stickerchart so they can see their progress.

Your job is to slowly transfer the mo-tivation for doing well to your children.Teaching your kids to set and achievegoals is a great step in the process.

QUESTION: I have a happy, smart and

energetic 8-year-old daughter who is

struggling with two problems -- she's

messy and off-task most of the time.

She's a straight-A student, but I con-

stantly have to push her to get ready

for school, do her homework and get

to bed. It's exhausting! She seems un-

concerned and unmotivated, and

would rather play than anything else.

How can I help her?Jim: We've actually heard from other

parents in your situation. Our firstthought is that your daughter could usea good dose of self-discipline. iswould not only help her be more effi-cient in completing her tasks, it would

also relieve you of the burden of polic-ing her all the time.

Implementing a system of rewardsand reinforcement can help your daugh-ter learn to take responsibility and showinitiative. Maybe you can tell her that ifshe gets herself ready for school for astraight week without having to be con-stantly monitored, you'll take her out fora milkshake on the weekend. (e occa-sional milkshake is a great motivator formy boys -- and for me, too!)

She also needs to experience negativeconsequences. You don't want her toflunk out of school, but if you stophounding her about her homework andshe ends up getting a lower grade as aresult of turning in an assignment late,the trauma of that experience mightoffer just the motivation she needs tostay on top of her schoolwork next time.

Be sure to cut her some slack, too.Some kids are more messy and flightyby nature, and you don't want to changeher personality entirely. Just be sure tolavish praise and affirmation on herwhen things go right. A kind and affirm-ing word from you will likely be the bestreward of all.

e subject of a proposed recreationaltrail along the Boyne City-CharlevoixRoad from Boyne City to U.S. 31 inCharlevoix Township has exhaustedcounty commissioners who have wran-gled with it for several years. e com-mission discussions and public forumsare filled with differing opinions and is-sues. e proposed trail is planned formixed use by bicyclists, joggers, walkersand rollerbladers.

Some of the questions people are ask-ing are: Should the trail be attached ordetached from the county road? Willproperty values lower along the route?Are property rights adversely affected?

Expense is one issue and propertyrights another. e board of commis-sioners recently handed the proposedtrail matter over to the county’s Parksand Recreation Department and its di-rector, Ross Maxwell.

Constructing the trail from BoyneCity to the Bay Township line just pastYoung State Park, a distance of 3.2 miles,

is estimated to cost $954,500. e countyapplied for grants and if approved thefederal and state grants would cover$865,900 of that amount, Maxwell said.Another $11,072 is pledged by BoyneCity and $33,216 by Evangeline Town-ship. e remaining $44,312 would beobtained through private funding anddonations, he said. If the expense sce-nario goes as planned the county wouldnot fund any of the trail construction.County funds would, however, pay formaintenance of the trail, estimated byMaxwell to be $2,900 per year, not in-cluding equipment or major repairs.

Commissioner Chris Christensen saidtaxes would not need to be increased ifvoters approved a parks and recreationmillage by a ballot proposal.

“If parks and rec were to ask the peo-ple to vote on a millage for parks andrecreation based on 1/12th of a mil, forexample, it would generate $167,000 thatcould be put towards the costs of theParks and Recreation Department andthen allow another $67,000 to be usedfor grant matching funds and the sus-

tainability of maintaining the BoyneCity-Charlevoix trail and additionaltrails into future years,” Christensen said.

If the 1/12th of a mil was voted in itshould be budget neutral, that is, no in-crease in taxes, he said. Instead, the cur-rent budget allocation to Parks andRecreation of approximately $100,000per budget year would come out of thegeneral fund and the general fundbudget would need to be cut by an addi-tional $67,000, totaling the amount thatwould be collected by the new1/12th of amil, effectively leaving no increase for

September 2011 will mark the fihobservance of Infant Safe Sleep Monthfor Michigan. Governor Rick Snyderhas declared September as Infant SafeSleep Month to help stem the growingtide of deaths caused by babies beingput to sleep in unsafe environments.We’d like to remind professionals andinstitutions caring for women, infants,

children, and families of the importantfacts on Infant Safe Sleep:

In 2009, 63 Michigan babies, or morethan one child every week, died of acci-dental suffocation or strangulation inbed. Four out of 5 deaths due to suffo-cation occur in an adult bed, waterbed,couch, or recliner. For nearly 75 percentof deaths due to suffocation, the baby

was found sleeping with another adultor child . So/heavy bedding was foundto be a factor in 50% of the sleep relateddeaths and an additional 45 infantdeaths were classified as SIDS in 2009.

You can help make a difference! Urgeyour families to follow the AmericanAcademy of Pediatrics Guidelines:

- Infants should be placed to sleep ontheir BACKS for every sleep

- Use a firm sleep surface, firm mat-tress covered only with a fitted sheet

- Keep so objects and loose beddingout of the crib (no pillows, quilts, com-forters, stuffed toys, or other so ob-jects)

- Do not smoke when you are preg-nant, do not smoke or let others smokearound baby

- Do not share a bed with your baby.A safe crib in the parents room, next tothe adult bed is recommended

- Avoid overheating baby - Encourage “Tummy Time” when

baby is awake- Make sure everyone caring for your

baby knows these guidelinesFor additional information, visit

What are the sideeffects and limitations

of tooth whitening?by Regina Kay

e most common side ef-fect experienced by user ofteeth whitening techniquescan be tooth sensitivity andor gum irritation.

While this can happen,most people find that theproblem settles down, astooth sensitivity is usuallyjust a passing sensationwhen people first start usingteeth bleaching and as yourteeth get used to the processit stops occurring.

Gum sensitivity on theother hand can be becausetoo much gel is used. Caremust be taken not to over fillthe bleaching trays as whenworn over the teeth the gelcan ooze out on to the gumscausing irritation.

Another cause could be illfitting bleaching trays. Careshould be taken to trimthem down if any part of the

tray overlaps the gums. iscan be done easily with apair if scissors.

If any of the above prob-lems have been experienced,don't worry they can be re-duced by shortening thetime that you spend on a ses-sion of teeth bleachingslightly.

You can also limit the fre-quency that you use teethwhitening for a while untilthe sensitivity goes away.

You will soon find the op-timum time and frequencythat suits you to use teethwhitening.

Whether you do it fast ormore slowly the results arethe same in the end.

If the teeth sensitivity is aproblem, using a tooth pastespecially formulated for sen-sitive teeth when brushingyour teeth could be a verysensible solution.

At a research study held in a universityin Norfolk, Virginia, it was found that 84percent of men suffering from hair losswere preoccupied with the loss. ey de-scribed feelings of helplessness, vulnera-bility, and jealousy of men with full,healthy heads of hair. Men who hadbegun losing their hair in their earlytwenties were more likely to have prob-lems with low self-esteem.

Male hair loss occurs because of a hor-mone imbalance. e medical term formale-pattern baldness is AndrogeneticAlopecia. is term will help you under-stand the factors involved in excessivemale hair loss. Androgen refers to any ofthe many hormones that control the ap-pearance and development of masculinetraits. An example is testosterone. Ge-netic refers to heredity, the inheritanceof genes from either the mother or fa-ther. Alopecia simply means hair loss. Sowe could say that male hair loss occursbecause of male hormones affected bygenetic inheritance.

DHT (testosterone and 5-alpha-reduc-tase) is a naturally occurring hormonethat helps in sexual development. Ge-netic switches in certain men aer pu-berty cause changes in hair follicles;specifically androgen receptor sites onthe follicles that regulate healthy hairgrowth. As DHT levels increase as menage, binding at the follicle receptor sitesincreases. is causes an imbalance inthe biological processes of the hair folli-cles that are more sensitive. Slowly, the

follicles begin to degrade as DHT buildsup on the site causing hair to grow backthinner and shorter, eventually making itso thin and short that it can't be seen.

Men lose their hair in different waysbased on their genetic predisposition.

Male hair loss usually involves recedingat the temples, loss on the top of thehead, and thinning over large areas.ese patterns are identified on some-thing called the "Norwood scale," whichclassifies different types of hair loss.

McBAIN – e Boyne City football teamcertainly showed a fighting heart. e Ram-blers traveled south to take on traditionalweek-one rival McBain on Friday, Aug. 26,and it was evident from the first quarter thatBoyne City could not match McBain’s brutestrength or massive size in the trenches.

e Ramblers did not shrink from the chal-lenge, however. Even though McBain con-trolled both sides of the line of scrimmagefrom the kickoff, Boyne City battled hard tothe final buzzer.

ere was little consolation in the immedi-ate aermath of McBain’s 49-0 triumph but noone could say Boyne City rolled over againstone of the top Div. 6 teams in the state.

“We didn’t quit,” said third-year Boyne Cityhead coach Don Nohel. “McBain has a goodfootball team and they were tough, fast andphysical on both sides of the ball. ey obvi-ously gave us match-up problems up front. Wecouldn’t get anything going offensively againstthem but we played hard.

“Now we have to look at this, learn from itand find out how we can be a better team nextweek,” he added.

McBain, grinding the ball behind an offen-sive line that was big enough to have its ownzip code, moved the ball methodically onnearly every possession of the game. McBainscored on its first three possessions and took a27-0 lead into intermission.

Boyne City was limited to less than 50 yardsof total offense in the first half and less than100 yards of offense for the game.

“It gets discouraging when you’re down onthe scoreboard and you can’t move the ball ef-fectively,” Nohel acknowledged. “We cameclose to breaking a few plays but they hadgood pursuit. We were missing a few players atkey positions and I’m sure it’ll help when we’reback at full strength.”

Senior quarterback Jay Redman showedpoise and toughness in the pocket, even underduress. Redman faced down the pressure and

hit on 8 of 13 passes for 69 yards, including a38-yard connection to fellow senior KeeganLaBlance in the second quarter, one of the bighighlights of the game for the Ramblers.

LaBlance, who moves elusively like a water-bug in cleats, turned a short pass into the flatsinto a big gainer aer he deked and dodgedtwo or three would-be tacklers and sped allthe way across the field behind a wall of block-

ers. It looked for a whilelike Keegan might scoreBoyne’s first points of theseason but he was finallytackled at McBain’s 27-yardline. It marked the onlytime in the game that theRamblers were able to pen-etrate past McBain’s 30-yard line.

Boyne eventually faced afourth-and-8 at McBain’s25-yard line and tried a re-verse to speedburner T.J.Douglas but he was forcedout of bounds before hecould get the first down.at ended Boyne’s bestscoring chance of thegame.

LaBlance also had a long

kickoff return for the Ramblers in the contest.Fullback Kerey Kuheana pounded hard into

the line each time he was called upon. Hislongest gain was 12 yards on a trap play. Hefinished with a team-high 22 yards on 10 at-tempts.

Redman thwarted a potential McBain scor-ing drive late in the second quarter with aleaping interception inside the 10-yard line.

Junior linebacker Trey Reinhardt coveredthe field like fertilizer, flowing to the footballtime aer time and making plays. Reinhardthad 9 solo tackles and 6 assists and le his No.58 jersey imbedded in the minds of theMcBain ball carriers. Junior defensive endGarrick Struble also had a busy night, making6 solo stops with 5 assists and sophomorestrong safety Zach Wandrie made an impactin his first varsity start, making 6 tackles with4 assists. Kuheana was in Krush Mode also atinside linebacker, making 6 tackles with 3 as-sists.

Boyne will try to turn the ship around thisursday against non-league rival Rogers Cityin the home opener. e Hurons are comingoff a lopsided 50-6 loss to Hillman.

e JV will play first on ursday at 4 p.m.against Pellston, followed by the varsity gameat 7 p.m.

MARQUETTE -- A young bullmoose was successfully relocated fromPresque Isle Park in Marquette on themorning of Friday, Aug. 5, through thejoint efforts of the Department of Natu-ral Resources and City of Marquette.

"We were receiving calls regardingtraffic and public safety concerns at thepark, due to people wanting to see themoose and in some cases, getting closeenough to touch it," said DetectiveLieutenant Mike Wasie of the Mar-quette Police Department. "is pre-sented a clear public safety hazard,leading us to request assistance fromDNR wildlife professionals in relocatingthe animal."

A team of approximately 12 DNRstaff from the Wildlife and Law En-forcement divisions joined city policeofficers and city parks and recreationstaff at 6:30 a.m. to attempt the reloca-tion. City police officers and park staffhad previously closed the park's en-trance, cleared the island of early morn-

ing visitors, and located the moose nearthe old Shiras Pool.

DNR wildlife biologists administereda tranquilizer dart, and within threeminutes the moose was immobilized.e moose was then safely loaded into atruck and transported to state land withgood moose habitat north of Marquette.

"Within an hour of darting it, themoose was up and walking in thewoods," said DNR wildlife biologistBrian Roell. "e entire process couldn'thave gone any smoother both for themoose and the personnel involved.ere are many factors to considerwhen relocating a large animal like amoose, including hot weather, health ofthe animal and location. Fortunately,with the cooperation of all involvedagencies, everything came together thismorning and it went off without ahitch."

City police and DNR wildlife staffhad been monitoring the moosethroughout the past two weeks and

working to ensure public safety by clos-ing the park at times, posting signs andmaking media announcements askingpeople not to approach the animal. De-spite those efforts, park visitors contin-ued to get within close proximity of themoose, creating a potential public safetyhazard and causing stress to the animal.

Brownfield credits areawarded to projects inMichigan that are function-ally obsolete or are envi-ronmentally contaminated.

“Obtaining permissionto submit a Brownfield ap-plication is another hugestep in the process ofrestoring the Dilworth backto its former grandeur” saidDave White, Partner inLandmark Developmentwhich is redeveloping theHistoric Hotel in BoyneCity. “is funding sourceis needed to help defraysome of the significant ren-ovation costs that are hardto fund in this economy

but necessary to make theDilworth a long term suc-cess” White said. Some ofthese costs include replac-ing the heating, ventilationand air conditioning, aswell as fixing the roof andrebuilding all of the win-dows.

“e City of Boyne Cityhas been and continues towork very closely withLandmark DevelopmentLLC as it pieces togetherthe many complicated stepsneeded to take this projectfrom concept to reality.e MEDC allowing Land-mark to submit a Brown-field application is anotherindication of the State’s jus-tifiable interest and supportfor this very importantproject for Boyne City andthe region” said MichaelCain, Boyne City CityManager.

in State Funding

In the summer of 2010,the community of East Jor-dan made the commitmentto make application to be-come part of the MainStreet program that has en-couraged and facilitatedeconomic growth in anumber of Michigan'ssmall towns to date. Oneof the committees raised toprepare the city for theprocess was to propose aneconomic developmentplan that could be em-braced by all componentsof the town and to date; theplan is almost ready forsubmission to the citycommission for approvalor amendment. e com-mittee has concluded thatweather or not the MainStreet program becomesavailable, that a strong eco-nomic development plan,with the unwavering sup-port of the community,would generate positivegrowth potential for thedowntown region andthose city areas contiguousto Main Street.

A small component ofthe economic developmentplan calls for the activity of"economic gardening".is is an educational op-portunity [endorsed by thestate and the NLEA] madeavailable to the area busi-ness owners, entrepre-neurs, industry, city, andschool officials and em-ployees who may findvalue and that support eco-nomic growth and devel-opment in their areas ofinterest. e specific areasof leadership, management,marketing, communica-tion, and service are in-cluded in the array oftopics available to elevateeconomic performance inany given arena described.

September 13 will markthe day when East Jordaninitiates the process of"economic gardening" in aformat to be recognized asMastermind on MainStreet. A series of nine onehour weekly meetings willinvite thecommunity's businessowners, managers, entre-preneurs, and leaders fromany entity with a vested in-

terest in a stable and grow-ing East Jordan economyto participate. e learningseminars will be held at theEast Jordan fire and ambu-lance conference room at7:30 to 8:30 AM and 5:30to 6:30 PM each Tuesday.

e first series of Mas-termind seminars will befocused on and trainingspecific leadership skills es-sential to achieve success.Dr John Kempton will fa-cilitate the process at bothof the Tuesday sessions.John feels that beginningwith foundational princi-ples of leadership; that firstindividuals, then entities,then community can rec-ognize their true potential,he says that: "e singleword leadership is almostintangible as a stand aloneconcept. It is the group ofcharacteristics that compelus to break down the barri-ers and create new bound-aries when we find ourcircumstances and envi-ronment have limited us. Itis the process of being per-fectly clear about who weare and where it is we wantto be... all the while confi-dent we will arrive. It is thelife long quest to be morethan we are today, all thewhile committed to addvalue to those in our circleof influence." If in fact, thecommunity is willing tomove in a new direction, "we must be the change weseek to see". Dr. Kemptonis quick to recognize thatwe are not born with lead-ership skills, they can belearned, acquired, andpracticed by anyone, andwhen they are... the per-sonal growth experiencehas a positive spin oneverything in your life....especially your commu-nity!

Question & AnswersAbout Selling Real Estate

by Mike Stark,Stark Realty, inc.(231) 536-7700

When you areconsidering buy-ing a home, youmay wonderwhat are the aver-age closing costs

to get that home. Many wantan idea of how much to savefor these costs. It would be ashame to have the down pay-ment saved for and then findout you need more moneysaved for the closing. is ar-ticle will talk about what aresome of those average closingcosts.

First let us discuss there aretwo types of closing costs. You

have non-recurring feeswhich are your one-time feesassociated with closing yourmortgage and those recurringcosts that are also called pre-paids. Many times non-recur-ring fees can be negotiated.Whereas the pre-paids usuallyare not negotiable.

Remember you can only getan idea of the costs for thesefees. From place to place theycan be different. So do notlook at these prices as set instone. ey are just to giveyou a picture of what to ex-pect. You should find theselisted on your Good Faith Es-timate.

Below is a list of some ofthose non-recurring one-timefees for home closing costs:

APPlICAtIoN FEE - isis a fee that the lender requiresto get your application started.is fee can include yourcredit report. ey can rangefrom $100 to $400. is fee isnegotiable.

oRIgINAtIoN FEE - isfee is for the work of prepar-ing your loan and is some-times referred to as "points".Your loan officer is usuallypaid from this fee. You can ex-pect a range of 1% to 5% (or 1to 5 points) of the loanamount for this fee. Definitelynegotiate this fee.

MoRtgAgE DIsCouNtPoINts - e name for this

fee can be confusing. Whenyou hear the word discountyou think you are getting abargain or something beinglowered for you. ese fees arepaid to buy you a lower inter-est rate. So it is money you putup front to lower your rate. Ina sense it is a bargain whenyou consider you will pay lessinterest for your loan. Whereit is confusing is you putmoney up front to get thisbargain. Mortgage discountpoints can range from .5% to2% of the loan amount. Besure to negotiate this fee.

merge into the half-century old mas-terpiece known as the MackinacBridge.

It is Michigan’s foremost landmark,having been selected by the MichiganSection of the American Society ofCivil Engineers (ASCE) as “Michigan’s#1 Civil Engineering Project of the20th Century” in 2000. It is also a na-tional landmark, being named a Na-tional Historic Civil EngineeringLandmark by the ASCE in August of2010. It is a testament of faith, ingenu-ity, bravery and perseverance; repre-senting decades of dreams,determination and diligence as theconcept of uniting Michigan’s twopeninsulas evolved from a notion inthe late 1800’s to the first vehicle cross-

ing on November 1st, 1957.Connecting Michigan’s peninsulas

took quite a while. Aer manydecades of debate regarding the finan-cial and physical feasibility of bridgingthe turbulent nearly three-hundredfoot waters and unpredictable four-season weather patterns of the Straitsarea, the Mackinac Bridge Authorityreceived the green light on financingand construction from the state legisla-ture on April 30th, 1952. Utilizing adesign conceived by internationallyrenowned bridge engineer, Dr. DavidB. Steinman, and funding in theamount of $96,400,033.33 construc-tion began on May 7th, 1954.

Steinman’s vision was not only of abridge that incorporated engineeringand construction for the ages (the de-sign is purported to last for at least1,000 years), but also become a beauti-ful creation that would be a marvel toall who would see it for generations tocome. At a center span of 8,614 feet, is

was once the longest suspension bridgein the world, and continues to hold thetitle of the third longest in the worldtoday…over a half a century since itwas built.

ose gleaming white, 6,500-tontowers stand 552 feet above the water,and were actually built 500 miles awayin the town of Ambridge, Pennsylva-nia, where they were assembled anddisassembled before being transportedto the Straits area. e unique gridsystem in the roadway across the cen-ter span is an innovation devised byengineer D. B. Steinman; designed torelieve wind pressure from beneath thebridge thus stabilizing the structureeven under the extreme gales of thenorth.

Approximately 350 engineers fo-cused on the design, 3,500 workerswere on the bridge site, and another7,500 at quarries, machine shops, millsand other support services during thethree and a half year project. eir ef-

forts included the installation of nearly5 million rivets and over 1 millionbolts in the structure, 42,000 miles ofcabling in the suspension system, and931,000 tons of concrete in piers reach-ing as far as 295 feet below the watersurface.

ese are among the many “fascinat-ing facts” one can ponder during aLabor Day stroll across the bridge. It isthe allure, however, of the stunninglybeautiful 360 degree grand vistas of theStraits area; with Lake Michigan to thewest, Lake Huron, Mackinac and BoisBlanc islands to the east, MackinawCity and the lower peninsula to thesouth, and historic St. Ignace and theupper peninsula to the north, that willfill the heart and soul with memoriescertain to last a lifetime.

So take a walk across the “MightyMac” this weekend, and get ready for aLabor Day journey of a lifetime.

During the labor Day bridge walk, the allure of the stunningly beautiful 360 degree grand vistas ofthe Straits area will fill the heart and soul with memories certain to last a lifetime.
