Every spring, each high schools

graduating class departs, finalizing

their transformation from adoles-

cence to adulthood - their hard work

and dedication has finally paid off.

As is true in all practices, there are

individuals who excel above and

beyond all others.

The Weekly Choice recognizes and

honors the select few earning the

title of class valedictorian, salutato-

rian, or senior scholar. In earning

such a title, it is evident that an indi-

vidual has not only been committed

to their studies, but has been pas-

sionate in their pursuit of a more

fulfilling experience in this life.

We applaud each and every gradu-

ating student, and wish him or her

the best in their future endeavors.

Please Note: This is part one of a

two-part article. If your school is not

The 2013 Otsego County Relay For Life

event will take place this coming Saturday

and Sunday, June 1st and 2nd, at the Otsego

County Fairgrounds. This is the 19th year this

event has taken place, and as of press time,30 teams comprised of approximately 153

participants are scheduled to start walking at

the Otsego Fairgrounds on Saturday morning

after an Opening Ceremony at 10 am, contin-

ue through the night, and finish on Sunday

morning when a Remembering Ceremony

will be held.

The Relay For Life is held overnight as indi-

viduals and teams camp out at the Otsego

County Fairgrounds, with the goal of keeping

at least one team member on the track a t all

times to signify that cancer never sleeps.

Teams do most of their fundraising prior to

the event, but some teams also hold creative

fundraisers at their campsites during the

Relay.

The Opening Ceremony at 10 am on

Saturday starts the event with an energetic

celebration of the lives of those who havebattled with cancer, inspiring others by sha r-

ing their recent accomplishments and strides,

while reminding all that fighting cancer is a

year-round priority. The first lap in the relay

will be the Survivors Lap, where all cancer

survivors in attendance will take to the track

cheered on by the other participants in cele-

bration of their victories over the disease. A

Caregivers Lap will also take place, which

includes anyone who has cared for or is car-

ing for someone with cancer.

A Fight Back Ceremony will be held at 1

pm; an affirmation of the commitment par-

ticipants make in battling cancer each day of

the year. The Luminaria Ceremony at Relay

takes place at dusk, which is around 9 pm,

honoring the communitys cancer survivors

and remembering those lost to the disease.

Participants will circle a track that is sur-

rounded with glowing luminaria that bears

the name of someone who has battled can-

cer.

Relay for Life events across the country

help to raise awareness of the ongoing battle

against cancer, a disease that according to the

American Cancer Society will bring an esti-

mated 1,660,290 new cases diagnosed this

year alone, with over 580,000 Americans pro-

jected to pass away from cancer in 2013 or

nearly 1,600 people a day. To become

involved with a Relay For Life event, call 1-

8/20

This month, the Dow Jones Industrial

Average hit a milestone, when, for the

first time, it closed above 15,000. Of

course, 15,000 is a nice, round number,

and it sounds pretty big but whatdoes it mean to you, as an individual

investor? Is it cause for celebration or

is it more of a caution flag?

Theres no one simple answer to these

questions. Since March 2009 the low

point of the market following the 2008

financial crisis the Dow has risen

about 130 percent. And while the Dow is

just one index, its nonethele ss an

important measure of the markets per-

formance which means that you were

likely glad to see the 15,000 mark

eclipsed and youd be happy if the num-

bers just kept rising.

However, as youre no doubt aware,

the market does not move in just one

direction. Typically, declines of 10% ormore or corrections occur aboutonce a year. Unfortunately, they're notpredictable. Sooner or later, the mar-

kets will indeed change course, at leastfor the short term. When this happens,dont panic corrections are a normalpart of the market cycle. Still, you mightfeel like you should do something tocope with the downturn. But what?

Here are a few suggestions: Keep investing Too many people,

when faced with a market drop, decideto cut their losses and take a timeout from investing. But that can be acostly mistake had these investorsbailed out of the market in 2009, andonly recently returned, they would havemissed a substantial part of that 130percent run-up in the Dow. And when

you invest in a down market, your dol-lars may actuallygo farther if the

market rebounds,because you

would havebought moreshares at the lowerprices.

Review yourportfolio Itsusually a goodidea to review

your portfol io atleast once a year,and it may beespecially impor-tant during thosetimes when themarket changesdirections. Overtime, a portfolio

can becomeunbalanced forexample, follow-ing a long periodof rising prices,some of yourgrowth-orientedinvestments mayhave gained somuch value that

they now take up a larger percentage of

your holdings than you had intended,

possibly subjecting you to a greater level

of risk than you desire. If this happens,

you may need to scale back on theseinvestments and reallocate the money

elsewhere.

Diversify Always look for ways to

spread your dollars among a range of

vehicles stocks, bonds, government

securities, certificates of deposit (CDs)

and other investments. Even within

these classes, look for ways to diversify

further, such as owning different types

of stocks, bonds of varying maturities,

and so on. Diversification cant guaran-

tee a profit or protect against a loss, but

it can help reduce the impact of volatili-

ty that can occur in a downturn.

The Dow at 15,000 is certainly no

minor event. And since stocks don't

appear too expensive compared to their

earnings, don't be surprised if highermilestones follow. But record highs can

be quickly forgotten when the market

falls. By being prepared for that day, too,

you can help yourself continue to work

toward your goals even when the

major market indices have, for the

moment, taken a wrong turn.

Grab a camera and visit some of the great

local farms, farmers markets and diningtables this summer! Petoskey-Harbor

Springs Area Community Foundation,

Crooked Tree Arts Center, and Institute for

Sustainable Living Art and Natural Design

(ISLAND) announce a call for artists for the

second annual juried photo contest and

exhibition, Farm to Frame: Good Food, Good

Neighbors.

Encouraging greater awareness of the ben-

efits of local farming and locally-grown food

here in northern Michigan, this years Farm

to Frame exhibit will showcase the beauty of

small farms, farmers and local foods through

three different categories of entry: (1) local

food production (from the farm), local

food sales (from the markets), and local

food preparation and presentation (from

the table). All photographs must have been

taken in Emmet or Charlevoix counties and

must not have been previously exhibited at

Crooked Tree Arts Center. Jury selected pho-

tographs will hang in an exhibition at

Crooked Tree Arts Centers Atrium Galleryand will travel to several other venues

around Charlevoix and Emmett counties.

Winners will be announced and prizes

awarded at the opening reception, October

22, 2013, during Local Food and Farm week.

Photographs can highlight any portion of

the growing cycle, including the places and

people the food comes from. Last years

exhibit was a mouth-watering reflection of

local foods. This year, we are hoping pho-

tographers will capture the essence of where

and how our food comes to us. Including

the land, the buildings, and the people that

make it all possible, shares Crooked Tree

Arts Center Program Director, Valerie St.Pierre Smith.

To allow photographers to take advantage

of the various stages of the growing season

and farm markets submissions will be

accepted June 1st through September 12th,

2013. Eligible contestants

can submit in one of two age

groups: 18 and under or

amateur/professional pho-

tographers with no age

restrictions. There are no

residencies requirements for

participating photographers;

Right after the last bell of

the school year, Gaylord stu-

dents and their families are

invited to attend a celebra-tion under the Pavilion in

downtown Gaylord. The

party will take place Friday,

June 7th right after school

from noon to 3:30pm. Based

on previous years events,

everyone should be prepared

to have a great time.

A number of local busi-

nesses are getting involved

to make sure the fundraising

event will be successful. Jets

Alpine Chocolate Haus (ice

cream), beverages from

WalMart and Glens, andcookies from Bob Evans will

be available. Walgreens will

have child fingerprinting and entertainment will include face

painting, temporary tattoos, sand art, and other fun crafts.

Id like to remind all students that this is a family event

and we expect them to behave themselves accordingly. stat-

ed organizer DJ Puroll Our older students should have fun

but also serve as role models to younger students and the

community.

Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, this event is a

great, inexpensive way for families to celebrate the beginning

of the summer vacation said fellow organizer Mike

Freymuth. He estimates last year over 2,000 pieces of pizza

and 2,500 ice creams/snow cones were served. Its amazing

to see downtown Gaylord filled with so many families having

a great time. We hope even more families can join us this

year.

Located just far enough off the

beaten path to embrace a gorgeous,

peaceful wooded setting, yet only

about ten minutes from downtownGaylord, Michaywe Inn the Woods

restaurant provides the perfect spot

to enjoy a delicious dining experi-

ence that is both comfortably casual,

and memorably elegant.

The menu offers a moderately

priced and nicely varied selection of

traditional American cuisine, high-

lighted by freshly prepared soups

and salads, specialty sandwiches

and burgers, house favorites includ-

ing New York Strip steak, hearty Beef

Pot Roast, Danish Baby Back Ribs,

Lake Superior Whitefish, Sole Picattaand more. The restaurant also offers

lighter fare, including Homemade

Pizzas and a selection of tasty appe-

tizers such as Scallop Florentine,

Garlic Shrimp Bruschetta and

Boneless Buffalo Wings.

Chef John Kaye, who learned his

culinary craft at Oakland

Community College and appren-

ticed at the prestigious Orchard Lake

Country Club, oversees the kitchen

at Michaywe Inn the Woods, and

has accumulated over 25 years of

experience as a chef in leadingnorthern Michigan area resorts and

downstate country clubs.

He states, We take a food-first

approach here at Michaywe Inn the

Woods. Flavors, textures, seasonings

and freshness are our priorities. We

purchase as many of our ingredients

locally as possible, and we even have

our own herb garden right here on

the grounds. We believe that the lit-

tle details make the difference for

our guests.

The Michaywe Inn the Woods set-ting is simply superb, with a wall of

windows along two sides of the main

dining area beautifully capturing the

views of the surrounding wood-

lands, the graceful walking bridge

arching over Lake Michaywe, and

the open fairways of the Pines Golf

Course.

Outside dining is available, as are

two large banquet rooms; the

Terrace Room, which accesses a

huge outdoor deck overlooking the

lake, and the Bridgeview, room with

a vista that frames the walking

bridge across the lake. Each of the

large facilities are utilized regularly

for wedding receptions, rehearsal

dinners and business or organiza-tional meetings and gatherings.

Michaywe Inn the Woods also fea-

tures a separate cocktail lounge area

with a full selection of wines, beers

and spirits and flat screen televi-

sions strategically placed for optimal

guest viewing.

Michaywe Inn the Woods is open

year round with the exception of a

two-week period in early April for

spring-cleaning. Summer hours of

operation are Monday through

Thursday, 4 pm until 9 pm, Friday 4

pm until 10 pm, Saturday noon until10 pm, and Sunday from noon until

9 pm.

We offer monthly menu specials

throughout the summer season,

notes Jeff Schneider, Food &

Beverage Director, who has over 22

years of experience in the restaurant

industry. We also offer half-orders

on most of our menu selections for

those who prefer downsized por-

tions.

Michaywe Inn the Woods offers a

truly unique dining experience in a

beautiful northern Michigan set-

ting, Schneider adds. We firmly

believe that after visiting us the first

time, guests will return again and

again.

tact Michaywe Inn the Woods at

Choosing a locally owned store

generates almost four times asmuch economic benefit for the

surrounding region as shopping at

a chain, a new study has conclud-

ed. The analysis also found that

eating at a local restaurant pro-

duces more than twice the local

economic impact of dining at a

chain restaurant.

The research firm Civic

Economics analyzed data from fif-

teen independent retailers andseven independent restaurants, all

located in Salt Lake City, and com-

pared their impact on the local

economy with four chain retail

stores (Barnes & Noble, Home

Depot, Office Max, and Target) and

three national restaurant chains

(Darden, McDonalds, and P.F.

Changs).

The study found that the local

retailers return an average of 52percent of their revenue to the

local economy, compared with just

14 percent for the chain retailers.

Similarly, the local restaurants re-

circulate an average of 79 percent

of their revenue locally, compared

to 30 percent for the chain eateries.

What accounts for the difference?

Independent businesses spend

much more on local labor. They

also procure more goods for resale

locally and rely much more heavily

on local providers for services like

accounting and printing. This

means that much of the money a

customer spends at a local store or

restaurant is re-spent within the

local economy, supporting other

businesses and jobs.

Girl Scout Daisy Troop 4226 and guests planted a tree at

Energy Outlet on Thursday, May 16th as the culminating

activity of preserving a national treasure in the Between

Bill Michaels, director of the Otsego County Sportsplex,

picked a spot for the fifteen-foot Red Maple tree donated by

Cheryl Horsell from Flowermania. Marcy Beauchane of Total

Lawn Care stopped by to instruct and assist the children in

tree planting and care. A ceremony was held as each child

threw a handful of soil into the hole due to plant the tree.

The Daisy Troop and guests present at the tree planting

made a pledge to care for the tree, which is named The Tree

of Hope.

Crooked Tree Arts Center School of Ballet

will be performing The Trumpet of the

Swan on Friday, June 7th at 7:00 pm and

Saturday, June 8th at 1:00 & 7:00 pm at the

Harbor Springs Performing Arts Center.Dance Instructor, Karrie Benedict and

Director of Dance, Heather Raue decided on

the story of E.B. Whites The Trumpet of the

Swan back in January, and began rehearsals

shortly after. The story is a tale of Louis, a

young swan who is born mute. As the story

unfolds he is presented with a trumpet

stolen by his father, in the hope it will unlock

his silence. In mastering the instrument

Louis finds his unique voice, redemption for

his dear father, and eventually true love.

This will be the fourth original full-length

ballet in which Benedict and Raue have

incorporated the entire School of Ballet, ages

4 to pre-professional. Crooked Tree Arts

Center (CTAC) School of Ballet past ballets

include; Alice in Wonderland (2010), Peter

Pan (2011) and The Wizard of Oz (2012).

There are a total of 160 male and f emale

dancers in The Trumpet of the Swan that

train at CTAC year-round. They are all chore-

ographed and directed by Benedict and

Raue. Our students have worked very close-

ly with one another mentoring, inspiring and

learning from each other a true communi-

ty. says Raue. This p erformance is diverse

both choreographically and musically. There

are classical ballet selections, modern dance,

contemporary ballet and jazz.

In particular the principal dancers have

been an integral part of the shows creative

process. Not only have they rehearsed every

weekend since January to become the char-

acters Benedict and Raue are recreating,

they have assisted with the instruction of the

lower level classes, assisted with choreogra-

phy, and helped with costuming and scoring

of music. All of our hard work and hours are

definitely paying off, Taylor Naturkas, a pre-

professional dancer explained. Everyone

needs to come see the show!

CTAC School of Ballet will be accompa-

nied live by local pianist, Charles Millard and

Kalamazoo trumpeter, Michael McMinn.

Musical selections rangefrom Penguin Caf Orchestra

to Thelonious Monk to Parov

Stelar. Along with all the live

music rehearsals for the

show, thousands of hours

have gone into the hundreds

of costumes and props for

this ballet. All of the props,

sets, and costumes have

been designed and created

by a small group of highly

talented and dedicated arti-

sans. We are so fortunate to

have such amazing people

share their gifts and time

with us, people that are

tremendous supporters of

the program and believe in

the future of our dancers.

says Raue.

Each year Benedict and

Raue approach a different

artist to create an original

piece that will represent the

ballet. This year Petoskey artist, Katie Brines,

created a tremendous multimedia piece that

will be up for silent auction during the per-

formances.

Tickets are $10 adults/$5 students/$20

Reserved and are available at Crooked Tree

Arts Center and at crookedtree.org under

events. For more information, contact the

Arts Center at (231) 347-4337 or

Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer.

After the long winter months, we are all eager to get out-side and enjoy the sunshine. It isn't surprising that May

is skin cancer awareness month. Skin cancer is the

most common form of cancer in the United States. One

in five Americans will develop risk cancer in their life-

times. More than two million Americans develop skin

cancer annually. Knowing your risk of skin cancer and

knowing how to help prevent

Know your risk. Your risk of skin cancer is greatly

influenced by your genetic disposition and your reac-

tion to sun exposure. Take the quiz at the end of this

article to determine your risk. Add your totals for

genetic disposition and reaction to sun exposure to find

your Fitzpatrick Skin Type. The higher your number the

lower your risk.

If your total is 0-6, your skin is type I. A point value of

7-12 represents type II You typically burn following sun

exposure, leaving you at high risk for skin cancers. .

The recommendations for risk reduction are similar for

both types. To reduce your risk, use sunscreen with a

SPF rating of 30 or higher, and stay in the shade when

you are outside. Check your skin monthly, head to toe,

for unusual growths. Have your skin professionally

checked annually.

A point total of 13-16 indicates skin type III. Type IV

is a score between 19 and 24. These types are at slight-

ly reduced risk for skin cancer. The recommendations

for these skin types, that tend to tan more easily and are

less likely to burn is to use a sunscreen with an SPF of15+ and to seek shade when outside during periods

with the strongest sunlight, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Check your

skin monthly and have a professionally skin check

annually.

Fitzpatrick Skin Type V, 25-30 points, and Type VI, 31

points or higher, tan easily and rarely burn. However, it

is still recommended that darker skin persons use sun-

screen with an SPF of 15+ daily and check their skin

monthly as well as having an annual professional skin

check. Skin of this type is at risk for a very virulent form

of skin cancer, which is often detected in advanced

stages. It is more likely to appear on skin that is not reg-

ularly exposed to the sun, like the bottoms of feet.

What to look for? In general, in your monthly skinchecks look for changes in your skin. The lesions differ

by the type of skin cancer. They might be elevated,

rough feeling and appear as warts. The most common

type of skin cancer, Basal Cell Carcinoma, can present

as an open sore that lasts for a few weeks, heals and

bleeds again. Something as subtle as a reddish, itchy

patch can signal skin cancer. Also, an area that appears

as a scar could represent skin cancer. It is important, if

you notice a change in your skin, to consult your doctor.

Skin cancer that is caught early is very treatable.

Treatment often involves removing the growth. The

sooner the growth is removed, the less the impact on

your skin and your life.
