Stage play brings area
familiestogether
Christmas is certainly a time when mostpeople gather with family and friends for fun
and frivolity. It’s just a given nowadays. Fami-lies look for creative ways to enjoy the tidingsof the season. Some volunteer their time at asoup kitchen, some might wander their neigh-borhood streets singing Christmas carols andsome might hop in the car one evening anddrive miles just to look at thousands of Christ-mas lights.
But, for a small group of people in northernKent County, they’ve chosen to celebrate theirChristmas holidays by taking to the stage. Thecast and crew of “The Christmas Carol”, whichnumbers well over 40, is comprised largely of people who just happen to be related to eachother.
The production director boasts that it’struly a family affair.
“It’s wonderful to see so many families in-
olved in such a fashion,” said Terri Riggle,roduction stage director. “They’re having funnd spending a lot of time together in a worth-hile project.”
Ebenezer Scrooge, is played by Rockford’sirgil Hubbard, and his wife, Kathleen, who’saking her acting debut on the Kent Theatre
tage, is playing the wife of the character Fred,crooge’s nephew. Cedar Springs resident Russole, who’s Bob Cratchit, is also given singingirection under the guidance of his wife Carol-e, who’s the production’s music director, andaura Johnson, who plays Christmas Present,lso enjoys being on stage with her son, Tom,ho plays Young Scrooge.
And the list continues. There are twoother and daughter combinations, Judy andreAnna Schulz of Howard City and Eva Wal-
ers and her daughter, Mystic also from How-rd City. Then there’s the Price family, all fromedar Springs, who have four out of their veembers involved in the play. Jon, the father,
s playing dual roles of Mr. Fezziwig and thehost of Christmas Future, his wife, Tammy,
s Mrs. Fezziwig, son Jordan is Dick Wilkins

Montcalm County possesses somestartling statistics. According to theMichigan State Police Crash Statisticsfor 2010 there were 960 vehicle crashesinvolving 10-16 year olds under the inu-ence of alcohol in the State. In MontcalmCounty there were 76 vehicle crashesinvolving 10-16 year olds with 1 fatality and 40 serious injuries. Further, accord-ing to the Michigan Prole for Healthy Youth surveys, “during the past 30 days”,for Montcalm County high school youth,15.6 percent of our 9th graders and 22.3
percent of our 11th graders have had veor more alcoholic drinks in a row withina couple of hours. This is called “bingedrinking episodes,. Local community surveys indicate that 31 percent of ourparents don,t know if there is an alcoholproblem here. Obviously, since so many of our teens are participating in bingedrinking this is denitely a problem.
In an attempt to address youth accessto alcohol and tobacco, a series of Alco-hol and Tobacco Compliance Checks with businesses selling Alcohol and Tobaccohave recently been completed. Workingas a team with Law Enforcement ofcersand underage decoys (buyers), we wereable to complete a number of compli-ance checks. All efforts in this project are
greatly appreciated. During the TobaccoCompliance Checks 67 sites were visited with 9 selling (13.43 percent) and duringthe Alcohol Compliance Checks 32 sites were visited with 5 selling (15.63 per-
cent).Each of the underage buyers pos-
sessed a valid driver,s license or State ID with RED lettering indicating the datethey would be legal to purchase the sub-stances. In most of the cases the clerk didnot ask for the ID. In a few cases, how-ever, they actually looked at the ID andstill sold to the youth.
We would like to acknowledge those businesses that PASSED the compliancechecks and thank them for working toprevent the sales of alcohol and tobacco
products to underage youth.

By Olivia Barrett
On October 28, Tri County High School welcomed published author andPierson native Bruce Jenvey. He quickly settled into the library, where a signwas posted in his honor, and spoke to different students each period of theday. Jenvey talked about everything from the production of his book to hiscareer prior to writing. After earning a degree in advertising from MichiganState University, he worked in the field and, after changing his career pathonce more, eventually landed in writing. His story, however, comes with a bitof a twist - Jenvey was so secretive about writing his first book that his wifethought he was having an affair!
Jenvey’s book, Angela’s Coven, is currently available as an e-book. Thebook sold more copies in its first week than its publishing company ever has.Call us crazy, but we’d say he’s pretty successful. TCHS students seemed toagree, as they listened intently to his every word and asked intelligent, well
thought-out questions after each class period’s speech. The event was part of NHS and the TC administration’s efforts toshow students that graduating from TCHS should be seen more as a privilege than a disadvantage.
Tri County Middle School’s Student Council has kicked off theirannual Toy’s for Tots campaign. Last year the middle school collectedover 1,000 toys. Those toys were distributed directly to Montcalmarea children. Each year there seems to be a shortage of gifts for olderchildren at the middle school age range. While you are out doingyour Black Friday shopping grab an extra gift for a child and drop itoff at the middle school collection box located in the office or in yourchild’s classroom. Put a smile on a child’s face this holiday season.
Preparing for the holidays? Got some shopping or baking to do?Come check out McNaughton’s Christmas Community Showcaseand accomplish both. Crafts, handmade items, Scentsy and Premier
Jewlers to name a few. There will be a Toys for Tots drop-box availableif you would like to donate an unwrapped gift. The shop is open onDecember 2, from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. at MacNaughton Elementary.
MacNaughton Elementary celebrated Veteran’sDay by raising a new American flag donated by theHoward City, VFW. In recognition of the VFW’sdonation the staff and students wore red, white, andblue, recited The Pledge of Allegiance and quietlywatched as principal Tim Goheen and Sergeant MattTeesdale, raised the new flag. MacNaughton studentsshowed their appreciation for veterans everywhere,by making “Thank You” banners, which werepresented to the VFW on Thursday.

On Wednesday, November 2, the yearbook students and other studentsinterested took a trip to Ferris State University for a day of journalism.Students took classes in Interviewing for Journalistic Writing, Storytelling
With Photography, Sports Writing and Interviewing, and Storytelling With Cinematography in the morning. Afternoon classes were Writingas a Career and School Newspapers. Lunch and a t-shirt were included.Attendees enjoyed the workshop because it showed them sides of the
journalism field not often shown in school.Prior to lunch, students chose two of the four aforementioned morning
classes. Storytelling With Video taught them about the three stages of quality cinematography (pre-production, shooting and post-production/ editing). The importance of knowing how to compose eye-catching photos,particularly the rule of thirds and framing, was preached in the Storytelling
With Photography class. Because many area students don’t often have theopportunity to write or interview for topics like sports, the Sports Writingand Interviewing class was popular. Interviewing for Journalistic Writingwas also a full class. In the afternoon, many TC students attended theSchool Newspaper class. They enjoyed this class because, at the presentmoment, our high school is lacking a newspaper of any sort; it presentedthem with new ideas and outlets to create one. To wrap things up, thevast majority of TCHS students attended Writing as a Career. All in all,TCHS students enjoyed their FSU journalism trip because it taught them
to think outside the box with new forms of media (digital) while stillhighlighting the importance of the “old school” forms.

What can you do?• Stay aware, awake, alert, and sober.
• Remember, safety belts are your best
defense in any collision.
• Be alert for deer in spring and fall,
especially at dawn and dusk.
• Heed deer crossing and speed limit
signs, particularly on two-lane roads.
If a crash is unavoidable:
• Don’t swerve!• Brake firmly
• Hold on to the steering wheel.
• Stay in your lane.
• Bring your vehicle to a controlled stop.
We at Hill’s Body Shop have noticed an increase in deer hits in the month of October through December
and a big surge directly after the end of Daylight Savings, because more people are still on the road at
sunset.
If you have had the misfortune of hitting a deer, Hill’s Body Shop, Inc. is here to help restore your ve-
hicle to its pre-accident condition. Your insurance company may refer you to one of their “preferred”repair facilities. These body shops have an agreement with your insurance company to keep down the
cost of your vehicle repair in exchange for referrals. We believe it’s not in your best interest to take
your vehicle to these contracted repair shops. We believe safety and quality should come before cost,
whereas these “preferred” shops seem to put cost before quality and safety. We believe it to be unethi-
cal to cheapen your vehicle repair to save your insurance company money. You’re our customer, not
your insurance company’s. Hill’s Body Shop, Inc. has always and will always provide the finest repairs
available.
For more information about what you can do to avoid a car-deer accident and what to do if you do have

HypnosisLast year Barb and I took some training in Hypnosis. The purpose was to use this to help discover some of our own issues
and to bring back tools that we can use to help others who come to The Healing Center.
Having mentioned this to some friends, someone commented that Hypnosis scared her. This is actually a very commonreaction. Why? Most of it is because of movies, television, or stage hypnosis. We have all seen the scary movie or TV showin which someone is hypnotized into a zombie who does horrible things to others. Or we have seen stage hypnosis wheresomeone is made to cluck like a chicken or bark like a dog while jumping around on stage. We must remember that this is allentertainment.
Others are afraid of this because of their religious upbringing. I was raised to think that Hypnosis was a tool of the devil.Mom told us that during a hypnotic trance demons and entities could possess us. Of course, what person wants to bepossessed? I always wondered how this could be the devil’s work if it was used to help people stop drinking, stop smoking,loose weight, overcome stress / anxiety / anger and heal themselves?
Think about some normal things that happen every day in our lives. We have all experienced that fuzzy state when we
were between being awake and asleep. Frequently we daydream. Have you ever been driving a long distance and suddenly “woke up”, not really knowing how you got to this exit? During a shower, or while working on a factory assembly line, we dothese things so automatically that our mind goes somewhere else. How many of us watch television or movies and becomeentranced (that is what the advertisers count on). What about when we become engrossed in a book? Did you ever have the
feeling of drifting off during church even though you were not tired?
These are all normal everyday events that are actually hypnotic states. When tests were done with EEG (brain wave tests),it was found that our brain produces four different kinds of brain waves. Beta brain waves occur when we are wide awake. Alpha waves happen when we day dream, do repetitive work, during prayer, when we drift off to sleep, every time we have a dream (5-6 times per night), within 5 minutes of sittingdown to watch a movie or TV show, and during hypnosis. Theta waves occur during deeper sleep,during extreme pain, and during anesthesia (for dentistry or surgery). This state is also associated withsome nerve pills and sleeping pills. Finally Delta waves occur during the deepest sleep.
We all have automatic habits, and repetitive emotional reactions to things. If these behaviors help usin our daily lives, we will want to keep them. If they are harmful and limiting, we may want to changethem. The subconscious part of our mind is what controls all of our behavior and reactions, good or bad. Hypnosis is a nice way to get into that programming part of our brain to change some of thoseless than beneficial activities.
We should be excited. We now have tools to learn to manage this part of our mind.
