BOYNE CITY — A change in thecity’s parking requirements for de-velopers is under consideration bythe city commission. e changewould reduce the number of on-siteparking spaces that future projectsmust provide when establishing abusiness. It would not be retroactive.

Planning commission directorScott McPherson advised the citycommission at its Tuesday meetingthat the current parking space re-quirement is too restrictive and a re-

duction in the number of spaces ofapproximately 20 percent would bemore reasonable.

e opinions of city commission-ers varied. Commissioner RonGrunch favored the change saying itwould attract businesses.

“I agree with reducing the numberof spaces,” Grunch said. “We mayhave missed out on businesses.”

Grunch said the city could workwith the schools, as does the city ofCharlevoix in the summer. Overflowparking uses Charlevoix schoolparking lots and transports people

downtown with a shuttle service. Mayor Chuck Vondra said he is

concerned that there may not be ad-equate parking and that may hinderdevelopers.

“What if someone develops theFochtman lot? Where do those carsgo?”

But McPherson said in a state-ment he prepared that the ordinancerequirements use the peak demandfrom local residents and visitors asthe baseline for parking space deter-minations and not the typical dailyusage.

“By requiring parking for thehighest possible use, parking lots aredeveloped far larger than needed formost typical days,” McPherson said.

Commissioner Laura Sansom saidshe thinks there is enough parkingdowntown.

“I think it’s an asset to change thenumbers [of spaces required],” San-som said.

No action was taken and anotherdiscussion will be held with inputfrom the public.

City manager Michael Cain askedcommissioners if he should continue

gathering information on city officesreconfigurations in the current loca-tion adjacent to Veterans MemorialPark. e consensus was to moveforward.

“I think it’s really a good idea ofcombining everything here,” Sansomsaid, and added that she would liketo have the police department morevisible.

Cain said he would like to have aplan draed by the Oct. 25 [email protected]

Community Leaders Invited toRegister for Economic Growth SeriesIn the summer of 2010, the community of East Jordan

made the commitment to make application to becomepart of the Main Street program that has encouraged andfacilitated economic growth in a number of Michigan'ssmall towns to date. One of the committees raised toprepare the city for the process was to propose an eco-nomic development plan that could be embraced by allcomponents of the town and to date; the plan is almostready for submission to the city commission for approvalor amendment. e committee has concluded thatweather or not the Main Street program becomes avail-able, that a strong economic development plan, with theunwavering support of the community, would generatepositive growth potential for the downtown region andthose city areas contiguous to Main Street.

A small component of the economic development plancalls for the activity of "economic gardening". is is aneducational opportunity [endorsed by the state and theNLEA] made available to the area business owners, en-trepreneurs, industry, city, and school officials and em-ployees who may find value and that support economicgrowth and development in their areas of interest. especific areas of leadership, management, marketing,communication, and service are included in the array oftopics available to elevate economic performance in anygiven arena described.

September 8 will mark the day when East Jordan initi-ates the process of "economic gardening" in a format tobe recognized as Masterminds on Main Street. A seriesof nine one hour weekly meetings will invite the commu-nity's business owners, managers, entrepreneurs, andleaders from any entity with a vested interest in a stableand growing East Jordan economy to participate. elearning seminars will be held at the East Jordan fire andambulance conference room at 7:30 to 8:30 AM and 5:30to 6:30 PM each Tuesday.

e first series of Mastermind seminars will be focusedon and training specific leadership skills essential toachieve success. Dr John Kempton will facilitate theprocess at both of the Tuesday sessions. John feels thatbeginning with foundational principles of leadership;that first individuals, then entities, then community canrecognize their true potential, he says that: "e singleword leadership is almost intangible as a stand aloneconcept. It is the group of characteristics that compel usto break down the barriers and create new boundarieswhen we find our circumstances and environment havelimited us. It is the process of being perfectly clear aboutwho we are and where it is we want to be... all the whileconfident we will arrive. It is the life long quest to bemore than we are today, all the while committed to addvalue to those in our circle of influence." If in fact, thecommunity is willing to move in a new direction, "wemust be the change we seek to see". Dr. Kempton isquick to recognize that we are not born with leadershipskills, they can be learned, acquired, and practiced byanyone, and when they are... the personal growth experi-ence has a positive spin on everything in your life.... es-pecially your community!

To register for Mastermind on Main Street, contact theChamber Office at 231-536-7351, or [email protected]. Tuition for the seminar is $50 -Chamber Members and $75 - not-yet members, includestextbook. For scholarship information call 231-536-7351, all proceeds donated to EJCC.

QUESTION: Schools are asked to ac-

complish many things on behalf of our

kids today. They are even expected to

teach them how to have sex without

spreading disease. What part of the

curriculum would you give the great-

est priority?DR. DOBSON: Schools that try to do

everything may wind up doing very lit-tle. at's why I believe we should givepriority to the academic fundamentals --what used to be called "readin', writin'and 'rithmetic'." Of those three, the mostimportant is basic literacy. An appallingnumber of students graduating fromhigh school can't even read the employ-ment page of the newspaper or compre-hend an elementary book. Every one ofthose young men and women will sufferyears of pain and embarrassment be-cause of our failure. at misery starts ata very young age.

A tenth-grade boy was once referredto me because he was dropping out ofschool. I asked why he was quitting, andhe said with great passion, "I've beenmiserable since first grade. I've felt em-barrassed and stupid every year. I've hadto stand up and read, but I can't evenunderstand a second grade book. Youpeople have had your last laugh at me.I'm getting out." I told him I didn'tblame him for the way he felt; his suffer-ing was our responsibility.

Teaching children to read should be"Job One" for educators. Giving boysand girls that basic skill is the founda-tion on which other learning is built.Unfortunately, millions of young peopleare still functionally illiterate aer com-pleting twelve years of schooling and re-ceiving high school diplomas. ere isno excuse for this failure.

Research shows that every student,with very few exceptions, can be taughtto read if the task is approached cre-atively and individually. Admittedly,some can't learn in group settings be-cause their minds wander and they don'task questions as readily. ey requireone-on-one instruction from trainedreading specialists. It is expensive forschools to support these remedial teach-ers, but no expenditure would be morehelpful. Special techniques, teachingmachines and behavior-modificationtechniques can work in individual cases.Whatever is required, we must provideit. Furthermore, the sooner this help canbe given, the better for the emotionaland academic well-being of the child. Bythe fourth or fih grades, he or she hasalready suffered the humiliation of read-ing failure.QUESTION: What can we as parents do

to improve public schools in our area?DR. DOBSON: Most educators know

that parental involvement is absolutelycritical to what public schools are trying

to do. Others (fortunately not the major-ity) see themselves as the professionalsand resent parental interference. Weshould never accede to that idea. Parentsare ultimately responsible for the educa-tion of their kids, and they should notsurrender that authority. Educators aretheir employees, paid with tax dollars,and are accountable to the school-boardmembers whom parents elect. e bestschools are those with the greatestparental involvement and support.

With that understanding, let me urgeyou to visit your child's school to answerquestions of interest to you. Does thestaff understand the necessity for struc-ture, respect and discipline in the class-room? If so, why don't you call yourchild's teacher and the principal and ex-press your appreciation to them. eycould use a pat on the back. Tell themyou stand ready to assist in carrying outtheir important mission. If your schoolsystem is not so oriented, get involved tohelp turn the tide. Meet with parentgroups. Join the PTA. Review the text-books. Work for the election of school-board members who believe intraditional values and academic excel-lence. Let me say it again: Schools func-tion best when the time-honoredprinciple of local control -- by parents --prevails. I believe it is making a come-back!

A parent’s last days

Dear Dave,I need advice on how to handle things

where my mom is concerned. She was di-agnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) ayear ago, and now she wants our family todo things together that we can’t afford. Lastsummer, we took a trip to Norway, and mom paid half, butit still made things hard on us financially. What can I do?

Emily

Dear Emily,I’m really sorry to hear about your mom. I know that’s

tough on everyone in more than just a financial sense.What you’re facing is very sad, and I understand that youwant to spend as much time with her as possible. At thesame time, though, you can’t bankrupt your family, either.

I think you need to sit down with her and gently explainthat while you love her and want to spend as much timewith her as possible, you can’t put your family in financialdanger to help her with a bucket list. You have to balanceyour love for your mom and this awful situation withwhat’s best for your own household.

Make reasonable decisions on what you can and can’t dowith her. Can you stretch yourself to do a few specialthings? Sure, but stretching is one thing; breaking is an-other. If she’s leaving you insurance money, you couldstretch a little bit, then put that back into your funds later.But don’t go into debt to make these things happen. atwill just start a cycle of borrowing that you can’t afford andleave you with a pile of payments later on top of your grief.

Your family has enough to worry about right now. Don’tput a bunch of debt on the list, too. at’s going too far.

God bless you, Emily.—Dave

The meaning of diversification

Dear Dave,What exactly do you mean when you talk about diversi-

fying your investments?Sharon

Dear Sharon,When it comes to investing, diversification simply

means spreading your money around. is helps reducerisk, because you’re not putting all of your money into onecompany. is way, you won’t lose everything if that onecompany goes broke. It’s also why I tell people not to putall of their money into their own company’s stock.

I have lots of mutual funds with one or two mutual fundcompanies. Within those two companies they’re calledfund families. ink of it like a brand of soup. Campbell’s®is a brand, but they have all kinds of different soup. I alsohave money in different banks and in different moneymarket accounts, and I have money in different types ofreal estate. So, I’ve got several different kinds of invest-ments, but not a million different things running aroundout there.

If I listed them all out they wouldn’t even take up an en-tire page. I like to keep things fairly clean and simple, and Iencourage you to do the same!

“We are already seeing a lot of progress during practices,”Place noted.

e boy’s team will feature an abundance of two-sport soc-cer players. Returning are seniors Jon Calo, Austin Weislerand junior Camden Mackenzie. Incoming freshman GarrettFogo will likely lead the team, as he was one of the top middleschool runners in the area last fall. Boyne city also expects toget some help from first time senior Dean Hague.

Boyne City will also have a middle school team consistingof seventh graders, Grace Ellwanger, Laken South, JeremiahUtley and Ethan Book.

boynE FALLse two Logger team will be full of healthy competition as

the Red Devils will feature a pair of young teams mixed withsome veterans.

e girls’ team will be led by junior Casey Keane, and fresh-man Cayla Keane, along with sophomores Tess McNitt, EllenBrandell and Kayla Campbell.

“Emily has improved greatly from her freshman/sophomoreseasons until now,” Lancer coach Kirk Ikens said. “We willneed to have someone step up if we want to repeat as confer-ence champs.” “I think that it will be a close battle throughoutour conference.”

Ikens also mentioned that with Harbor Springs moving upto Division III this season, the Division IV regional will bemore competitive, with teams from Joburg, Inland Lakes,Rogers City as well as those from the Northern Lake Confer-ence.

e boys’ team, which qualified for the Division IV state fi-nals last season, returns a strong, solid group including four ofthe top five runners.

Question & AnswersAbout Selling Real Estate

by mike stark,stark Realty, inc.(231) 536-7700

Whether your homeis 20, 50 or 100 yearsold, there comes a timewhen it begins to look alittle 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 home’s look, as well asmaintain its value in the marketplace. Here,in no particular order, are a few tips.

Consult the professionals. For the mostpart, bids and advice cost nothing and, ifyou have any sort of budget at all, it’s goingto be a lot easier to pay for some things likemasonry work outdoors and plumbing andelectrical indoors. So talk to architects anddesigners about what you can do to giveyour home more “curb appeal” outside andupgraded comfort and convenience inside.ey’re bound to think of things, both inex-pensive and over the top, which have neveroccurred to you. A less complicated alter-

native is buying a stack of architecture, ren-ovation and decorating magazines and cut-ting out things you like. Finally, drivearound the neighborhood, see what yourneighbors are doing.

Identify the major problem areas. Nowthat you’ve talked to a few designers, read afew magazines and checked out the neigh-borhood competition, write down what youthink are your major problems. Of courseanything that goes deeper than cosmeticimprovement should come first. ismeans if you have a severely cracked foun-dation, substandard electrical or plumbingservice, a roof or siding that’s coming off insections or a yard that looks like a waste-land, forget about building those decorativecolumns out by the driveway. Accomplishthe big fixes first. For those of you withoutsuch major problems, set your prioritiesbased on your own personal needs. Is hav-ing an attractive house outside a morepressing concern, or is your crampedkitchen where you want to start swingingthe sledgehammer. Whether your project isbig or small, planning and budgeting makesall the difference.

Adding Value to your home. Some of thetop updates that can add value to your

home inside and out include new sidingoutside, and upgraded bathrooms inside.Large and luxurious master baths are partic-ularly 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. Not socosmetic but still important include newheating, cooling and ventilation equipmentand, surprisingly, an updated (or at least or-ganized) garage. Don’t underestimate thevalue of a nice lawn, neat walkways andother landscaping as well as outdoor livingspace. Again, adding an elaborate outdoorkitchen and expensive decks and patiosprobably won’t pay for itself except in themost high end developments and competi-tive markets, so keep your updates basicallywithin the standards of your neighborhood.In other words, if most of your neighborsdon’t have solid gold faucets and marblefloors, you probably won’t get anythingmore than personal satisfaction out of themeither.

Put on a new coat of paint. New colorsinside and out (particularly neutral colors)can freshen up an older home beautifullyand inexpensively. Invest in some new trim:

shutters and pergolas and trellises outside,crown molding and wainscoting and base-boards inside. A bland home can get awhole new lease on life just by adding abright color to the front door, or a new colorscheme for the siding, trim and so on.Color can be more complicated than youthink, so take advantage of the fact thatmany paint manufacturers are now offeringsmall quantities inexpensively as samples.Before you paint your whole house say,black with orange trim, get a lot of opinionsand again, look around the neighborhood tosee what others are doing.

Change out your floors. ere is so muchavailable in flooring these days from lami-nate wood floors to custom terra cotta tilesto genuine stone to linoleum and carpetingand area rugs and combinations thereof. Ifyour older home is a sea of dingy beige car-peting, new floors and new rugs can addvalue as well as warmth and comfort.

“It’s All About Choice” is thetheme for the first-ever Senior Expoevent to be held at the OtsegoCounty Sportsplex on Wednesday,September 7th, from 9 am until 2pm. Folks of every age will have aunique opportunity to learn aboutthe many different services andproducts available for senior citizensright here in northern Lower Michi-gan.

Over 40 vendors representing a di-verse array of services and productsspecifically addressing a variety of se-nior’s needs, including housing op-tions, in-home services, medicalproducts and services, financial plan-ning, elder law, health and agingawareness, nutrition, recreational re-sources, and much more. Experts ineach of these areas of interest will beon hand to answer questions andoffer insights regarding their serv-ices, at this exciting 1st Annual Sen-ior Expo.

Carla Parkes of Seniors HelpingSeniors, states, “is event came tobe aer a discussion I had with BruceFasel (Northern Management Serv-ices) about the many services that are

available to seniors in our area. Wehad held a panel presentation last fallcomprised of a variety of businessesand organizations serving the seniorpopulation, and the feedback we re-ceived from attendees was that theyliked having an opportunity to learnabout these many services and prod-ucts in one place. So that idea hasnow been expanded into the SeniorExpo at the Otsego County Sport-splex.”

Bruce Fasel notes, “Shortly aerCarla and I met, I was speaking withBill Michaels (Otsego County Sport-splex) about the idea of holding aSenior Expo. He mentioned thatevery September the ice surface is re-moved from the Sportsplex rink formaintenance, and that we could usethat opportunity to hold the Expothere. It is an ideal location for suchan event.”

With the wealth of informationthat will be available at the SeniorExpo, this is an event that will notonly appeal to seniors seeking infor-mation to address their particularneeds, it is also an event that baby-boomers rapidly approaching retire-ment age, as well as younger adultswisely planning for their retirement

years ahead, will find of huge benefit.“e Senior Expo will offer lots of

information for those preparing fortheir retirement years” observesCarla Parkes. “I work with manypeople who are in their 70’s and 80’s,and find those who have planned

ahead, who are informed about themany resource available to them,enjoy their retirement much more.”

e Senior Expo event is free to at-tend, and is being sponsored by theCommunity Advocates for a Lifetimeof Living. ere will also be several

educational seminars, as well as im-munizations and wellness screenings,during the Senior Expo event. eOtsego County Sportsplex is locatedat 1250 Gornick Avenue in Gaylord.

Charlevoix County CommunityFoundation confirmed in TopPhilanthropic Tier Nationally

Local Organization MeetsRigorous Standards forQuality and Accountability

The Charlevoix CountyCommunity Foundation re-cently received notificationthat it has met the nation’shighest philanthropic stan-dards for operational quality,integrity and accountability.The notice comes from theCommunity FoundationsNational Standards Board, anational accreditation organ-ization based in Arlington,Va.

“This is similar to theGood Housekeeping Seal forcommunity foundations,”said Diane Miller, Manager,Community FoundationsNational Standards Board.“It says that the CharlevoixCounty Community Foun-dation has demonstrated acommitment to operationalquality, integrity and ac-countability.”

The National Standardsfor U.S. Community Foun-dations’ program requirescommunity foundations todocument their policies fordonor services, investments,grantmaking and adminis-tration. With over 200 com-munity foundations alreadyconfirmed in compliance na-tionwide, the program is de-signed to provide qualityassurance to donors, as wellas to their legal and financialadvisors.

“This is critically impor-tant to our donors,” saidChip Hansen, President ofthe Charlevoix County Com-munity Foundation. “Whenpeople make a charitable be-quest, establish a fund orcontribute to an existingfund, they’re placing theirtrust in us. They’re countingon us to manage the invest-ment wisely and honor their

charitable intentions. TheNational Standards confir-mation says our house is inorder.”

The Charlevoix CountyCommunity Foundation of-fers a broad range of charita-ble funds, allowing donors toadvance causes such as edu-cation or the environment,support an individual organ-ization, provide flexible as-sistance for communityneeds or recommend indi-vidual grants. In addition toaffirming the organization’sphilanthropic services, theconfirmation also validatesthe Foundation’s grantmak-ing practices for the non-profit community.

“That’s important too,”said Jeff Rogers, Chairmanof the Community Founda-tion’s Board of Trustees.“Grantmaking is a lot like in-vesting . . . we assess risk,weigh potential gains, moni-tor performance and operatein a fair and impartial man-ner. When you see the Na-tional Standards Seal, youcan be assured that we’recommitted to meeting thehighest standards for grant-making as well.”

Entering its’ 20th year, theCharlevoix County Commu-nity Foundation helps peoplesupport the causes that theycare about, now and for gen-erations to come. “We’reproud of the organization’spast,” noted Hansen, adding,“and we’re looking forwardto continuing to providephilanthropic services andleadership in our communi-ties in the years ahead.”

The National Standardsfor U.S. Community Foun-dations program is the firstof its kind for charitablefoundations in the UnitedStates.

e Great Lakes Energy People Fundis accepting grant applications from non-profit organizations throughout its localservice area. e upcoming grant appli-cation deadline is Oct.1.

e People Fund is supported solelyby Great Lakes Energy members whoallow their electric cooperative to roundup their bill each month to the next dol-lar. Since 1999 more than $2 million ingrants have been awarded to charitable

“e People Fund is made possible bythe generosity of our members who con-tribute a few cents each month byrounding-up their bill,” saysPresident/CEO Steve Boeckman. “Weencourage non-profit community organ-izations to apply so that the funds can be

put to good use in our local service area.”Non-profit organizations can apply for
