What areSome

AverageClosingCosts?

When you are consideringbuying a home, you may

wonder what are the averageclosing costs to get thathome. Many want an idea ofhow much to save for thesecosts. It would be a shame tohave the down paymentsaved for and then find out

you need more money savedfor the closing. This article

will talk about what are someof those average closingcosts.

First let us discuss thereare two types of closingcosts. You have non-recur-ring fees which are your one-time fees associated withclosing your mortgage andthose recurring costs that arealso called pre-paids. Manytimes non-recurring fees canbe negotiated. Whereas thepre-paids usually are notnegotiable.

Remember you can onlyget an idea of the costs forthese fees. From place to

place they can be different.So do not look at these pricesas set in stone. They are justto give you a picture of whatto expect. You should findthese listed on your GoodFaith Estimate.

Below is a list of some ofthose non-recurring one-time fees for home closingcosts:

Application Fee - This is afee that the lender requiresto get your application start-ed. This fee can include yourcredit report. They can rangefrom $100 to $400. This fee isnegotiable.

Origination Fee - This feeis for the work of preparing

your loan and is sometimesreferred to as "points". Yourloan officer is usually paidfrom this fee. You can expecta range of 1% to 5% (or 1 to 5points) of the loan amountfor this fee. Definitely nego-tiate this fee.

Mortgage Discount Points- The name for this fee canbe confusing. When you hearthe word discount you think

you are getting a bargain orsomething being lowered for

you. These fees are paid to

buy you a lower interest rate.So it is money you put upfront to lower your rate. In asense it is a bargain when

you consider you will payless interest for your loan.

Where it is confusing is youput money up front to getthis bargain. Mortgage dis-count points can range from.5% to 2% of the loanamount. Be sure to negotiatethis fee.

Lakefront Property, JohannesburgContact: John Koske, Koske Realty Co., Gaylord (989) 732-1012

By Jim Akans

This is a wonderful, well-maintained and nicely appointed homelocated in a peaceful, wooded setting on the shores of an all-sportslake.

This is a rare lakefront offering, featuring 3.64 acres of wooded prop-erty embracing the nicely landscaped grounds surrounding the home,nearly 220 feet of lake frontage, plus the added convenience of a pavedroad fronting the home. The result is a tranquil, northern setting that

offers all the extraordinary benefits of a lakeside lifestyle, includingswimming, boating and fishing (pike, perch, bass and even rainbowtrout), yet when its time to head for town, the route is paved and trav-el-friendly.

The home has approximately 2,450 square feet of nicely finished andmaintained living space; 2,000 square feet on the main two levels andan additional 450 square feet of finished space on the lower level. Thatincludes four bedrooms, two baths, a huge living room with a magnif-icent wood burning fireplace with stone surround, and a large familyroom area in the finished basement, and much more.

The kitchen is spacious and highlight by an abundance of beautiful-ly finished wood cabinetry and a full compliment of appliances. Theadjoining formal dining area offers access to the outdoor patio. Thedesign is open and airy, and there are picturesque outdoor views fromevery window.

There are lots of outdoor amenities as well. There is plenty a spacefor vehicles and storage for those lake toys in the detached 30 x 40garage, plus a separate storage building with a workshop space. Thereis also a paved spot custom designed to park an RV. A 12 x 12 screenedin gazebo is the perfect place to enjoy the outdoor setting withoutbeing bothered by insects, and there is even a horseshoe pit on thegrounds for honing those ringer skills.

The home has also been well insulated, and has a forced air heatingsystem that is fed by natural gasanother rarity for a lake retreat.

This exceptional northern get-away is listed at $335,000. Call KoskeRealty today for a private showing. (989) 732-1012 or [email protected]

Yes generally speaking. I mean Thomas Edison

would not have come up with the light bulb if

he had not failed and kept on course.

Sue Barta, Petoskey

I would agree with thatBrandon Lee, Cheboygan

It is better to stay up until 2 am than

never to have seen the Northern lights.Barb Harvey, Petoskey

Absolutely I agree. We are going to

lose some battles, but we are never sup-

posed to give up.Dawn Thompson, Alanson

Thoughts on...It is better to have lost some battles than tohave retreated from the way.

Daily WordTHURSDAY: Nehemiah 6:6-9 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 6 In it was written, It is reported among the nations, and Gashmusays, that you and the Jews are planning to rebel; therefore you are rebuilding the wall. And you are to be their king, according to these

reports. 7 You have also appointed prophets to proclaim in Jerusalem concerning you, A king is in Judah! And now it will be reported to

the king according to these reports. So come now, let us take counsel together. 8 Then I sent a message to him saying, Such things as you

are saying have not been done, but you are i nventing them in your own mind. 9 For all of them were trying to frighten us, thinking, They

will become discouraged with the work and it will not be done. But now, O God, strengthen my hands.

FRIDAY: Numbers 14:35-37 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 35 I, the LORD, have spoken, surely this I will do to all this evil congrega-

tion who are gathered together against Me. In this wilderness they shall be destroyed, and there they will die. 36 As for the men whom

Moses sent to spy out the land and who returned and made all the congregation grumble against him by bringing out a bad report concern-

ing the land, 37 even those men who brought out the very bad report of the land died by a plague before the LORD.

SATURDAY: Numbers 13:29-32 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 29 Amalek is living in the land of the Negev and the Hittites and the

Jebusites and the Amorites are living in the hill country, and the Canaanites are living by the sea and by the side of the Jordan. 30 Then

Caleb quieted the people [a]before Moses and said, We should by all means go up and take possession of it, for we will surely overcome it.

31 But the men who had gone up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are too strong for us. 32 So they gave

out to the sons of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, The land through which we have gone, in spying it out,

is a land that devours its i nhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great size.

SUNDAY: Psalm 13:3-5 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 3 Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; Enlighten my eyes, or I will

sleep the sleep of death, 4 And my enemy will say, I have overcome him, And my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken. 5 But I have

trusted in Your lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.

MONDAY: John 16:32-33 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 32 Behold, an hour is coming, and has already come, for you to be scattered,

each to his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. 33 These things I have spoken to you,

so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.

TUESDAY: Revelation 17:13-14 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 13 These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority to

the beast. 14 These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and

those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful.

WEDNESDAY: 2 Peter 2:18-21 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 18 For speaking out arrogant words of

vanity they entice by fleshly desires, by sensuality, those who barely escape from the ones who live in error, 19 prom-

ising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by this he is

enslaved. 20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior

Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the

first. 21 For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn

away from the holy commandment handed on to them.

When life seems to be bearing down on you and the thought

of running is over whelming remember the race in which we

run. The scriptures teach us to persevere and run the race for

the win. The win in Life is what God has called us to do and

our obedience to do just that. Sometimes we take our eyes offthe one who leads the way and that is only our own fault.

When we remember what awaits us at the end we will be more

eager to stay in the battles of life even if we lose a few along the

way. Losing these battles should only make us stronger and

prove our dependence is on God alone.

When our past (Satan) sneaks up behind us and show us our

loses, we need to remind +Satan that it is he who loses in the

end and our forgiveness is sealed in red.

The precious blood of Jesus leads our tomorrows.

Gaylord -- The Otsego Memorial Hospital

(OMH) Medical Group would like to welcome

two new physicians to their team of

providers. Lori M. Burke, MD, and Jessica A.

Kiley, MD, joined David W. Miner, MD, and

OMH Medical Group Obstetrics &

Gynecology the first week of August.

Lori M. Burke, MD, received her under-

graduate degree in biology in 2003 from the

University of Michigan in Ann Arbor,

Michigan, and went on to complete her med-

ical education at the University of Michigan

Medical School in 2007. She completed her

residency at William Beaumont Hospital in

Royal Oak, Michigan, and is a member of the American College of Obstetrics and

Gynecology.

Dr. Burke has been interested in medicine

since a young age after a bicycle accident sent

her to the hospital with a broken collar bone.

From this first experience with healthcare she

knew she wanted to be a physician. Anatomy

and surgery were two areas of special interest

for Dr. Burke, and throughout medical school

she found that she enjoyed working with

women and addressing their healthcare

needs through a range of ages.

She has had several research papers pub-

lished and has delivered professional presen-

tations on a wide range of topics including

Gynecologic Issues of Adolescents with

Downs Syndrome, Autism, and Cerebral

Palsy, Maternal Prompts to Eat, ChildCompliance, and Mother and Child Weight

Status, and Fertility Sparing Management of

Cervical Cancer. She received several awards

while attending school, including being

named a Galloway Resident by the Memorial

Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for

Gynecology Oncology Service.

What is most appealing to me about

OB/GYN is that I can work with women in

every stage of their lives, commented Dr.

Burke. My goal is to be on the same level as

my patients; ensuring they are comfortable

with me and feel confident in asking any and

all questions they may have. Dr. Burke has

special interest in adolescent gynecology

needs and issues, as well as young womens

healthcare issues in general.

Originally from a small town, Dr. Burke is

happy to return to a smaller community, andis excited to be living in Gaylord with her

English Bulldog puppy.

Jessica A. Kiley, MD, received her under-

graduate education in biology at Michigan

State University in East Lansing, Michigan.

She completed medical school at the Saba

University School of Medicine in Saba,

Netherlands, Antilles. She completed her res-

idency at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing,

Michigan.

Dr. Kiley grew up in a medical family; her

father was an orthopedic surgeon and her

step-mother an OB/GYN, through whom she

became familiar in obstetrics and very inter-

ested in labor and delivery. She holds a spe-

cial interest in infertility issues as well as gen-

eral obstetrics.

She has training in both low- and high-riskobstetrics, Maternal Fetal Medicine,

Reproductive Enocrinology with Infertility,

DaVinci Robotic surgery training, and super-

vised junior residents and medical students.

She also delivered a Case Presentation on

Adolescent Behcets Disease.

My goal is to be as approachable, calming,

and caring as I can for my patients. Dr. Kiley

is excited to be working for a community hos-

pital that sees a high volume of patients

needing obstetric care and guidance.

She is looking forward to spending time in

northern Michigan with her young daughter,

Cora, and her husband. Dr. Kiley was very

involved with gymnastics and qualified as an

Olympic gymnast in 1992, and enjoys hiking,

tennis and snow shoeing.Drs. Burke and Kiley join David W. Miner,

MD, at OMH Obstetrics & Gynecology. Dr.

Miner completed medical school at the

Tulane University School of Medicine in New

Orleans, LA, in 1985; his internship at the

National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda,

MD, in 1986, and he completed his residency

at the University of Louisville School of

Medicine, Louisville, KY, in 1993. He also

served in the United States Navy.

Dr. Miner received Board Certification from

the American Board of Obstetrics and

Gynecology in 1995, and is a Fellow with the

American College of Obstetrics and

Gynecology. He has been in practice since

1993, and is also qualified to perform lasersurgery, microsurgery, and laparoscopic pro-

cedures.

Anxiety or nervousness is a common brain and nervous dis-

order that many experience sometime or a nother. It is charac-

terized by extreme panic and fear, uncontrolled and obsessive

thoughts, nightmares and could even have symptoms like

nausea, muscle tension, headaches and stomachaches. A per-

son could feel unconnected, dizzy, uncontrolled and suffer

from palpations, chills and hot flushes.

There are several prescription drugs which are used in the

treatment of anxiety disorder. Lorazepam, alprazolam, and

buspirone are often prescribed along with antidepressants.

Sometimes hormonal secretion from the thyroid or adrenal

glands cause nervousness and need specific treatment.

Psychological counseling may also be useful in the treatment

of nervousness.

Food and well-being have been associated with mood since

ancient times. Carbohydrates are known to be good mood ele-

vators. They act as mild tranquilizers through increasing sero-

tonin which is a calming neurotransmitter in the brain. It is

better to eat complex

carbohydrates such as

potatoes, whole

wheat bread and

pasta as they take

longer to digest andthus one feels full for

longer.

Vitamin B, especial-

ly B-6, also helps in

the manufacture of

serotonin in the brain.

Supplements of

Vitamin B6 have been

used in the treatment

of anxiety disorder.

Food rich in antioxi-

dants together with

essential fats help in

improving energy lev-

els and may relieve

the feelings of anxiety.

Dehydration may also

add to anxiety andnervousness, so it is

advisable to ensure a

good fluid intake. Hot drinks

may have a calming effect,

but try to avoid excess caf-

feine. Herbal teas and hot

milky drinks may be especial-

ly helpful, especially before

bed.

There is ongoing research

regarding specific vitamins

and minerals in the treatment

of nervousness. Inositol, a

cyclic polyalcohol, plays an

important role as a second

messenger in a cell. Though it

is classified as a B vitamin, it

is not really a vitamin as the

human body can synthesizeit. It has been used to help

people suffering from panic

attacks and relieves the

symptoms of obsessive com-

pulsive disorder. A trial has

shown that when it is supple-

mented with multivitamins,

it can reduce anxiety or nerv-

ousness. It is found in many f oods, especially those with high

bran content. Magnesium has also proved to be an important

reliever of anxiety and so may present another useful nutrient

to supplement in the treatment of nervousness.

There are many herbs associated with the treatment of

nervousness. Herbal chamomile tea is often used to combat

insomnia (www.mitamins.com/disease/ Insomnia.html)

associated with anxiety attacks. Passion flower, bacopa and

kava are also used in herbal

tonics given to reduce anxi-

ety. A drink made of the root

of kava and used extensively

in Polynesia is a well known

relaxant. In one study when

used for one week, it helped

subjects to reduce both

depression and high anxiety

levels and nervousness.

These herbs must be taken

under supervision as they

could have other side effects.

Sometimes dieting though calorie reduction and using diet

pills can contribute to an anxiety disorder. Diets should be

undertaken with care and it may be important to seek profes-

sional guidance. Reducing and perhaps even cutting out alco-

hol and coffee have shown remarkable improvement in the

levels of anxiety for some people and generally assist with the

treatment of nervousness.

By Barbara Mascio

We're experiencing a heat wave, andit's not just in Cleveland. Nearly every

person I've spoken to from California to

Massachusetts has told me how unusual-

ly hot these past few weeks have been.

Seniors, the elderly and small children

are susceptible to overheating and this

can cause some serious health problems.

Those with a history of stroke, heart

disease, high blood pressure, kidney dis-

ease and respiratory disease need to take

special care. However, overheating can

happen to any one if you're not careful.

Pay attention to the symptoms of heat

exhaustion and heat stroke. Some symp-

toms are: heavy sweating, pale or clam-

my skin, fainting, and vomiting. A heat

stroke is a true medical emergency. A

delay in treatment can be fatal. If you

know someone who is elderly or fragile,

check on him or her to make sure they

stay cool. The elderly are much more

likely to suffer from heat related illness-

es. If a person becomes dehydrated and

cannot sweat enough to cool their body,

their internal temperature may rise to

dangerously high levels, causing heat

stroke

Are your feet and hands swelling? Heat

edema is swelling of the hands and feet

when blood vessels expand and allow

fluid to pool under the skin. Is your skinitchy? Prickly heat is an irritating rash

that is caused by a blockage of the sweat

pores, usually under clothing.

Your sweat is your body's main system

for getting rid of extra heat. As long as

blood is flowing properly to your skin,

extra heat from the core of your body is

"pumped" to the skin and removed by

sweat evaporation. If you do not sweat

enough, you cannot get rid of extra heat

well. If you have poor circulation it is also

difficult to stay cool because your body

can't get rid of heat as well if blood is not

flowing to the skin.

Dehydration will make it harder for

you to cool of in two ways: if you are

dehydrated you won't sweat as much,

and your body will try to keep blood

away from the skin to keep your blood

pressure at the right level in the core of

your body. But, since you lose water

when you sweat, you must make up that

water to keep from becoming dehydrat-

ed. If the air is humid, it's harder for your

sweat to evaporate. This means that your

body cannot get rid of extra heat as well

when it's muggy as it can when it's rela-

tively dry.

Other precautions to consider include:

Increase your intake of water, avoidalcoholic, carbonated, sugar and caf-

feine drinks

This may sound crazy, avoid ice cold

drinks. When your tummy receives fluid

that is ice cold, your internal body tem-

perature must rise in order to compen-

sate, leading to further internal heat

An old farmers trick (you learn this

quickly if you've ever helped to bail hay

in August) Wet a bandana (or scarf) and

put it in the freezer. Wrap this around

your neck, once the fabric is thawed,

wrap the cool scarf around your fore-

head. My grandma use to have a largewrap that she would position around her

bust line. (Bailing hay is a family event J)

Wear clothing that is light in color and

loose fitting (let your skin breathe)

Avoid outdoor activity during the after-

noon hours

Eat less protein and

more fruits and vegetables

(proteins increase your

metabolism which heats

you up inside) this leads to

further water loss. The

fruits and vegetables will add minerals

and salts that you are loosing in your

sweat

Treat yourself to a cool bath

If you don't have air-conditioning, stay

in the lowest section of your home if pos-

sible. Keep in mind, heat rises. If you

have window fans, set the fan to pull hot

air out of your home, rather than pulling

more hot air in from the outdoors.

Seniors living without air conditioning

may want to consider spending the

hottest part of the day where relief from

the heat can be found. Senior centers,

the mall, libraries, churches and muse-

ums are all (almost always) air-condi-tioned.
