Shoplifting 

not worth it 

By Michael Jones 

Staff Writer 

GAYLORD — While some local residents may have 

trouble making ends meet this year as a result of Mich - 

igan's ongoing recession, Gaylord City Police chief Joe 

FitzGerald does not recommend shoplifting as a way to 

finish their Christmas shopping—the potential penal - 

ties are not worth it. 

FitzGerald said certain crimes in general — including 

retail fraud, shoplifting and gas drive-offs — have 

been on the rise this year and while he hesitates to link 

the crimes to Michigan's high unemployment rate, 

9.6-percent in November, according to the Michigan 

Department of Labor, he said economic crimes in 

general seem to be up. 

"I would have to say shoplifting and larcenies are up. 

After Thanksgiving we had six retail fraud complaints 

with most of them at Walmart," FitzGerald said, noting 

See Domestic, p. A5 

Meijer Inc., the key to fmding a 

job at the Gaylord store is to apply 

sooner rather than later. "People 

should be specific when they Fill 

out their online application that 

they are looking for a job at the 

Gaylord store and they should list 

specific positions they are interested 

(in)." The public relations 

director said Meijer typically will 

fill between 300 and 400 positions 

at a new store. 

As the store gets closer to 

completion this spring, Guglielmi 

said job interviews would be conducted 

approximately six weeks 

prior to the grand opening of the 

Gaylord store. For those without 

access to a computer, Guglielmi 

said applications for work at the 

Gaylord store may be completed 

in the kiosks at existing store locations.

Post office to reduce

By Jll Schult 

Staff Writer 

GAY1.0RD — Following a routine 

review of retail transactions, 

the United States Postal Service 

(USPS) Gaylord office retail counter 

hours of operation will be 

shortened beginning Jan. 5. 

According to Jim Mruk, USPS 

manager of Public Affairs and 

Communications, retail revenue 

in the Greater Michigan district, 

which covers all of Michigan except 

Metro Detroit and Flint, is 

down 12.8 percent. Mruk would 

not release individual post office 

numbers. 

The Gaylord facility will open 

a halfhour later — 9 a.m. — and 

continue to operate until 5 p.m. 

weekdays. Saturday hours will remain

GRAND RAPIDS — Thursday, 

the Michigan Snowmobile Association 

(MSA) expressed support 

of actiolT taken by the Michigan 

Legislature to increase trail funding 

through trail and registration 

permits to avoid funding shortfalls 

and to purchase trail easements. 

The state-administered snowmobile 

program, funded entirely 

by snowmobilers, faces a $l-million 

deficit next year without more 

program funds. 

"Industry stakeholders did 

the necessary homework to conclude 

that permit increases is 

the only way to adequately fund 

snowmobiling in Michigan as we 

know it," said Bill Manson, MSA 

executive director. "The legislature

OTSEGO COUNTY — Despite food donations 

being a little light this year, monetary 

donations to the Kiwanis Christmas basket 

program were up. With a combined food and 

monetary donation, organizers had approximately 

$10,000 worth of food available to feed 

the 600 families who receive holiday dinner

According to Scott Cheney, who has organized

Area lawmakers split on smoking ban 

LANSING — Northern Michigan 

legislators were still split on the different 

versions of a smoking ban being 

considered at the state capitol on the 

final day of the lame duck session. 

Legislators were expected to complete 

a longer-than-normal session 

Friday, before recessing for the year. 

Any bills not passed today will fall 

by the wayside and must begin the 

process anew next year. 

Earlier in the year, the Democratled 

House passed a smoking ban that 

carved out exemptions for particular 

businesses including the three Detroit 

casinos, tobacco shops and cigar

Decor's vehide reportedly left

Sen. Jason Allen. R-Traverse City,

lines from one another. 

Both Elsenheimer and Allen said 

they support the idea of a licensing 

system. 

"Technically, it would create a 

larger government." said Elsenheimer, 

"But it would be relatively small and 

any expense should be covered by the 

cost of the license. We have a large 

enough staff to cover an additional 

licensing program." 

"It's just a tax increase," said Mc- 

Dowell. who is against the proposed 

idea. 

McDowell added that while he 

would support either the House or Senate 

bills, or even a conipronnsed ver- 

. sion, his hopes for the ban are slim and 

indicated Bishop was set against it. 

"I don't think it s going to happen 

becausc Bishop set up the committee

Allen countered that the reason the 

ban has stalled is because of A disagreement 

with thiC Democratic party's 

Detroit leaders. 

"There's a rift within the Democratic 

caucus." he said. 

Elsenheimer said there is a fear that 

a smoking ban could shut at least one 

casino down, and damage revenues of 

the remaining two, which would, in 

turn, cause a loss to school funding. 

"I wish we didn't lie school funding

I stand ready (maybe

One journalist 

recently likened the

rejection of the auto

it dates back to 1861 when President 

Abraham Lincoln exclaimed Thank 

God for Michigan!" as 798 men from 

this state arrived in Washington to 

defend it against advancing southern 

troops early in the Civil War."' 

It's a well-knowTi fact many in the 

South still harbor ill will toward us 

Yankees. I can personally attest to 

such animosity. A number of years 

ago, I was on a mission to buy a small 

town newspaper. 1 had a couple good 

prospects in South Carolina (you cant 

get much more Rebel than that place 

where they flew the Confederate flag 

over the state capitol until 2000). 

1 got the message loud and clear 

after a couple visits. Although they 

wanted to sell their newspapers, at 

least publishers were being honest 

S 

when they told me a guy from Michigan 

probably wouldnt fare too well in 

these parts. In other words: "Yankee, 

go home!" 

Nol only are the Republican senators 

from the South who voted against 

the Big 3 auto rescue plan fighting a 

political civil war to wipe out a Democrat-controlled 

United Auto Workers 

(UAW). they are protecting their own 

turf where competing foreign aum 

makers have iiwested billions in recent 

years. 

Talk about hy^xacrites. The southern 

stales these senators represent 

have authorized millions in tax incentives 

to attract and keep manufacturers 

such as Toyota, Honda. Hyundai. 

Kia, BMW. Nissan and Volkswagen. 

But nol a dime for those other guys. 

Personally, it miikes me want to 

fire up a muzzleloader when I consider 

that two of the ringleaders in 

this grand theft auto scheme are Kentucky 

senators Mitch McConnell and 

Urn Bunning. I was born in Kentucky 

- and Bunning was one of my heroes 

when he pitched for the Detroit Tigers. 

I need to emphasize I had no control 

over my birlhplacc.The important 

thing is I am proud to call Michigan 

my home. 

The Deep South stales even 

showed their true colors in the presidential 

election. A New York Times 

statistical analysis of the election 

showed that southern stales that 

voted more heavily Republican (and 

against a black man) than in 2004 

"tended to be poorer, less educated 

and whiter." 

I lere's the good news: A political 

scientist from Louisiana State University 

(in the Deep South) says the 

South has moved from being the 

center of the political universe to being 

an outside player in presidential 

politics. Another pundit believes the 

Southernization of American politics 

in general - which reached a peak in 

the 1990s when many Coi\gressional 

leaders and Bill Clinton were from 

the South - appears to have come to a 

screeching hall. 

That means, although a bloc of 

southern Republican senators was 

able to blocl^de the Big 3 this time, 

their day of reckoning is coming. 

Just to show you how stupid these 

reputed southern "gentlemen" are, 

even the foreign automakers located 

in their states are pulling for GM. Ford 

and Chrysler. If they go down, the flow 

of American-built auto supplies will 

dry up for them. Next thing you know, 

they're out of business, also. 

1-ortunaiely, not everyone in the 

South still has a Confederate flag 

draped in the back window of his 

pick-up. Unfortunately, this despicable 

dilemma still exists because of 

individuals described recently by a 

University of Alabama historian (of all 

people). He says: 

"Race continues to play a major 

role in the state. Alabama, unfortunately, 

continues to remain shackled 

to the bonds of yesterday." 

It's almost 150 years after the men 

from Michigan defended our nation's 

Capitol from Southern forces -1 don't 

think this is what Abe Lincoln had in 

mind.

PENNY BRILEY HANGS UP newly donated clothing at "Seams Like New" which recently opened 

at Crossroads Industries. 

'Seams Like New'resale shop 

open at Crossroads Industries 

GAYl-ORD — Stacy Twi^ and Penny Briley 

were chatting and laughing as they sorted 

through and worked at folding a pile of recently 

donated clothing to "Scams Like New." 

Crossroads Industries Inc. new resale shop 

which specializes in inexpensive used clothing. 

l^ter. Briley began hanging jackets on a 

rack while TWigg continued to inspect and 

fold pairs of pants, which she then slacked on 

a nearby display table, ready for sale. 

Twi^ and Briley are clients who work at 

Crossroads, a nonprofit community rehabiiitalion 

organization which employs developmentally 

disabled adults who live in the area. 

The two have been learning the ropes of the 

resale clothing business, which opened to the 

public last month. Eventually the two will learn 

how to wail on customers — ringing up sales, 

collecting money and making change. 

Crossroads CLO Bill Marshall said the pal 

of the new store is lo pro\-ide additional jobs 

for their clients. The organization recently 

opened a document destruction and rec>'cling 

program adding lo the business's established 

bulk mailing program, packaging services and 

woodshop operations. 

Marshall said "Seams Like New," an offshoot 

of an earlier free clothing store at Oossroads, 

will continue to provide free clothing to 

those in need, while also selling inexpensively 

priced clothing to the general public. 

"I want to stress thai those in need will still 

be able to get free clothing." Marshall indicated. 

"We will continue to work wiih social 

service agencies and the Salvation Arniy lo 

provide clothing for their clients." 

Marshall said social service groups will 

continue lo issue vouchers for free clothing 

to their clients which may be redeemed at 

"Seams Like New." 

To make things easy al the new used clothing 

outlet, Marshall said all pants are priced 

to sell at S2 a pair, while shirts will be sold for 

$1 each. 

Tax deductible donations of clothing are 

accepted at Crossroads Monday-l'riday from 

8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Slore hours for the public are 

Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. lo 3 p.m. 

Crossroads is located in theCiaylord Industrial 

Park at 2464 Silver Fox Trail. c:all 732-1233

30 volunteers pack Kiwanis Christmas baskets 

Cont from p. A1 

Because the Gaylord 

Community Schools community 

education building 

built offices in the old cafeteria, 

the Kiwanis Christmas 

basket packing had 

to be moved to the vacant 

Northern Appliance building 

on Old 27 South. 

Cheney had to arrange 

for tables, heaters, snowplowing 

and set up a new 

area for volunteers to maneuver 

shopping carts 

through to load boxes with 

food. He also reported being 

appreciative for the free 

use of the building. 

Cheney began volunteering 

for the Kiwanis 

Christmas basket program 

because of the involvement 

of his father, Howard 

Cheney, a 25-year volunteer. 

'We want to help 

families..' 

Brittany Blunt 

For Patty McBride, Kiwanis 

Club of Gaylord president, 

this year marked her 

sixth year of helping with 

the program. 

According to McBride, 

items included in baskets 

are ham, potatoes, vegetables, 

bread, fruits and other 

nonperishable foods. 

"The Take Time to Care 

program helped a lot or 

we would have had a lot 

more families," McBride 

reported. 

Families who are adopted 

through the Time 

to Care program do not 

receive food from the Kiwanis 

Christmas basket 

program. 

Cheney begins preparing 

for Thursday's event in October 

by collecting uniform 

egg boxes from Walmart Supercenter 

and Glen's Market. 

He collects nonperishable 

food from area schools 

and takes about a week to 

set up the "store" for basket 

packing. 

An estimated 30 volunteers 

helped pack baskets, 

Thursday, including the 

Blunt sisters. Hannah. 8. 

and Brittany, 12. 

"We want to help families 

out at Christmas who 

don't have enough food," 

said Brittany during the annual 

event.

Lawnichak's 

heroics lift 

Snowbirds 

By Jeremy Speer 

Sports Editor 

GAYLORD — Better to win 

ugly than to lose pretty. 

That's the sentiment with the 

St. Mary boys basketball team 

following a 52-50 victory where 

senior Austin Lawnichak hit a 

mid-range jumper with 0.3 seconds 

remaining to seal the win. 

Lawnichak's heroics were 

striking, but was the struggles 

of the Snowbirds, who allowed 

nine three-pointers to the hotshooting 

Trojans. 

"1 went into this game thinking 

it would 

show us whether 

we were a good 

team or a mediocre 

one," said 

St. Mary coach 

Chris McKenzie. 

"1 don't think we 

accomplished ei- 

ther. I'm ecstaic 

we're 3-0, but 

tonight we were 

a little off our 

game." 

Austin 

Lawinchak 

Central Lake senior Ryan 

Crawley and freshman Gus 

Merriweather each nailed four 

three-pointers as the Troj'ans 

look control through most of 

the game. 

St. Mary took an 11-8 lead 

after the first quarter, but it 

quickly evaporated to a 29-22 

Central Lake halftime lead. 

Late in the third quarter, the 

Snowbirds finally began to chip 

away, as junior Matt Churches 

bulled inside for a lay-up before 

junior Peter Spyhalski closed out 

the quarter with a triple to cut 

the Trojan lead to 42-38. 

"In the third quarter, I called 

a timeout and told them that

But every team does not have 

a pressing defense like Johannesburg-Lewiston 

does — one 

that can overcome a struggling

J 'L's athleticism helped it grind 

out a 45-34 home victory against 

pesky St. Mary Wednesday in what 

was a defensive struggle. 

"A win is a win, but we did not 

play well," said J-L coach Heather

Gaylord dodges bullet in victory vs. Central 

By J^ramy Sp«er 

Sports Editor 

GAYLORD —The Gaylord 

boys basketball team 

dodged a bullet Thursday 

night, swiping away a pesky 

Traverse City Central team 

that gave the Blue Devils all 

they could handle in a 65-60 

decision. 

Gaylord (4-0, 2-0 Big 

North Conference) seemed 

to have control throughout 

the game, but the 

well-coached Trojans kept 

battling back and actually 

took a 49-46 lead on a threepoint 

play by senior Doug 

Burke with 5:20 remaining. 

The senior-laden Blue 

Devils stepped up when it 

counted, however, as seniors 

Lucas Wickert, Joe 

Arnold and Nick Freeman 

all hit big shots down the 

stretch. 

The biggest, however, 

came from Gaylord's lone 

junior starter, point guard 

Kurt Dutcher, who canned 

a momentous triple with 

1:30 remaining to push 

the lead to 59-54. The Blue 

Devils also made 6-of-6 free 

throws in the game's final 

minute. 

"Our experienced players 

really stepped it up down 

the stretch and we made our 

free throws," said Gaylord 

coach Pat Enders. "It was a 

good win. We didn't play our 

best game, but that's O.K." 

Senior Quinn Woodhouse 

dazzled throughout 

the game, leading all scorers 

with 23 points. He had 

nine first-quarter points 

as the Blue Devils went up 

19-9. 

The Trojans (1-1, 1-1 

BNC) began cutting into the 

lead in the second quarter, 

but still were behind 30- 

24 at halftime. It may have 

been closer, were it not for 

the continued strong shooting 

of junior Dustin Mastej, 

who stepped off the bench 

to hit a couple of big shots, 

including a three-pointer. 

Woodhouse had another 

10 points in the third quarter 

to help weather a Central 

run and give his team 

a 45-40 lead heading into 

the fourth. 

"They hit a lot of shots," 

Enders said. "Their coach 

does a great job and their big 

guys had a great game." 

Wickert added 14 points 

for Gaylord, while Dutcher, 

Mastej and Freeman each 

chipped in eight. 

Burke led Central with 

16 points, while senior Kelly 

Long added 14 points and 

sophomore Dylan Roe had 

10. 

Gaylord is now off to one 

of its best starts ever, hitting 

the Christmas break undefeated. 

The Blue Devils now 

focus on the St. IgnaceTournament 

Dec. 29-30. where 

they will open up against 

a good team in Escanaba. 

The Eskymos have defeated 

Gaylord in the tournament 

in each of the past two seasons. 

"It's a great start to the 

season." Enders said. "The

not let off the gds; th^ went 

for an 8-0 na\ before the Oilers

Gaylord led 19-10 after the 

first quarter.

Despite 12 points apiece 

Afrom junior Kurt Kakavitka 

and Bob Btnsar. 

the Biue Devils fell In a 

tough game against Charlevoix 

39-36. 

The Rayders had a very 

weil-Jt)aianced offensive 

attack as leading.scorers 

CralB Klooster and Jim 

Buchanan each scored just 

nine points in a game where 

Gaylord never reached the 

tree throw line. 

The loss is disappointing 

tor a squad that had been 

unbeaten prior to the game 

and were climbing up the 

rankings, moving into an 

honorable mention position 

in Tuesday's Associated 

Press Class B state ranking. 

The Blue Devils shot 

nearly 50 percent from the 

floor. 18-34, a very respectable 

shooting night. 

Gaylord's first loss 

drops coach Al Hagland's 

squad to 4-1 on the year. 

The undefeated St. Mary 

^Snowbirds notched another 

win Tuesday night 

with a 65-37 bruising of 

visiting Bellalre. 

Three Snowbirds hit 

double figures on the night. 

Sopomore Kan Fitzak led 

the way with 18 points 

while senior Brian Shamock 

added 12 points and 14 

rebounds. The third player 

to reach double digits was 

Matt Sides. 

Coach Bob Kierczynski 

was very pleased with the 

outcome. 

"We played excellent 

defense," KlerczynskI said. 

"We only shot 30 percent 

from the floor, but we 

played excellent defense 

and that was what won It for 

us." 

Prior to the game, the 

Snowbirds had earned a 

10th place rank among the 

state's Class D teams. 

December 19,1991 

Gaylord's varsity wres- 

0tling team placed fourth 

in the Saginaw Lutheran 

Seminary tournament last 

weekend, a strong showing 

for such a young team. 

130 pound wrestler Eric 

Anteau won the title as was 

expected. Some believe Anteau 

may be the Blue Devils' 

finest wrestler to step on 

the mat. State medals are

to Improve. 

Earning third place finishes 

were Brian Tegnatti, 

Chris Judge and Jerry Evans. 

A tough test for the 

Gaylord grapplers Is fast 

approaching as they look to 

take down a highly regarded 

Petoskey Northmen team. 

The Northmen went 35-4-1 

over the past two seasons 

and return 11 of 14 starting 

wrestlers from last year's 

16-2-1 team. 

Hopefully the Devils will 

reverse the developing trend 

against Petoskey in which 

they have lost 10 out of the 

last 13 league titles. 

GHS volleyball coach 8ld 

AOawfon said she is satisfied 

with the Blue Devil's 

performance at the Traverse 

City Invitational here last 

Saturday, especially without 

two star players on the 

court. 

Starters Lisa Lahman 

and Jannl Ebarliart unfortunately 

had to make up a college 

entrance test they had 

missed earlier in the year, 

so a young Gaylord team 

was forced to step up their 

game. 

"We had four players out 

there who had never been 

in a single varsity game 

before." Dawson said. "But 

1 think tha kids played well, 

once we started to build up 

some confidence." 

While the lady Devils 

did not make it Into the 

championship round, they 

split matches with highlyreoarded 

Traverse City and 

Essexville-Garber. 

Dawson credited seniors 

Mat Orzyzffa and Sarab

Gaylord junior varsity thrills with 30T victory 

GAYLORD —The Gaylord

(3-0) took a five point lead in 

to the fourth quarter only to 

find themselves down three 

with time running out. 

Jake Cuca hit a big threepointer 

to force overtime. 

Both teams had leads in the 

first two extra periods only 

to let them slip away. Finedly 

Antony Rudel hit a free 

throw with under a minute 

to go to put Gaylord up four 

and seal the win. 

Todd Cherry led the way 

for Gaylord with 23 points 

and eight rebounds, while 

Jake Cuca finished with 13 

points. Solid defense by 

Matt Green, Jason McArt,

the deal. 

Wolverine 55, Vanderbilt 

33 

WOLVERINE — It was a 

tale of two halves Thursday 

in Wolverine. 

Visiting and underdog 

Vanderbilt put together an 

excellent first half and carried 

a 21-19 lead into the 

locker room. But the Wildcats 

turned up the pressure 

in the second half and carried 

out a 55-33 victory. 

"The kids showed a lot 

of improvement and played 

as well as a Vanderbilt team 

has played in the last couple 

years in the first half," 

said Yellowjacket coach Jason 

Mathias. "We started 

turning the ball over in the 

second half, and when that 

happens there's not enought 

timeouts in the world to stop 

the bleeding." 

Wolverine coach Gary 

Matelski said he was unhappy 

with his team's poor 

shooting and defensive effort 

in the first half, but said 

it improved in the third 

quarter. 

"They were more aggressive 

than we were to start 

the ballgame," Matelsid said. 

"We changed up our defense 

in the second half and they 

had a hard time adjusting. 

We were able to turn the 

tempo of the game up." 

Junior Josh Brush led a 

balanced scoring attack for 

Wolverine (3-0,2-0 Northern 

Lakes Conference) with 14 

points, while junior Lance 

Parkas had 12 points and senior 

Justin Evans had 10. 

Junior Eric Webber led 

Vanderbilt (0-4. 0-2 NLC) 

with 13 points and 10 rebounds. 

while junior Flip 

Mannino had six points 

and seven rebounds. Mathias 

credited Nathan Peterson 

with excellent effort off 

the bench and Steve Snider 

with running a solid point 

guard. 

The two teams could 

match up again at the Wolverine 

Holiday Tournament 

Dec. 29-30. Vanderbilt and 

Alba will square off on Dec. 

29, with the winner facing 

the host Wildcats Dec. 30. 

St. Mary 67, Onaway 42 

GAYLORD—The St. Mary 

boys basketball team is hitting 

the holiday break exactly 

where it wants to be. 

The Snowbirds improved 

to 4-0 overall and 2-0 in the 

Ski Valley Conference with 

a 67-42 victory against Onaway 

Thursday. 

"We got off to the start 

that 1 hoped we would," said 

St. Mary coach Chris McKenzie. 

"We played strong 

overall and did a good job 

picking apart their zone. 

The lead kept getting bigger 

and bigger as the game 

went along.' 

Junior Clay Becker had an 

excellent game for the Snowbirds. 

scoring 26 points and 

grabbmg 10 rebounds. 

"He was outstanding," 

McKenzie said. "He was doing 

everything very well." 

St. Mary led 21-13 after 

the first quarter and 39-22 

at halftime. 

Senior Arron Sitkiewicz 

added 13 points for St. 

Mary, while Peter Spyhalsk

rival Snowbirds 

Cont from B1 

a flow," 

Still, the Cardinals, ranked 

No. 6 in Class D, forced 27 

Snowbird turnovers with 

their relentless pressure. Junior 

Mary Schlicher, quickly 

developing into a star had 

five steals, while senior allstate 

guard Ashlie House had 

four. 

"We played a good team 

tough toni^t," said St. Mary 

coach Dale Jacob. "I'm not 

disappointed with the kids, 

we just didn't finish some 

shots and turned the ball 

over a few loo many times." 

That defense helped 

them through a third quarter 

which saw the Snowbirds cut 

the lead to 27-25 on an inside 

bucket by junior Lauren Reppuhn. 

Quickly, the Cardinals 

pounced, forcing turnovers 

and getting back to back 

scores by junior Amanda 

Head and House to make it 

31-25 heading into the final 

stanza. 

After St. Mary senior 

Jessica Schmidlin netted a 

putback basket to open the 

fourth, J-L went on an 12-2 

run that sealed that game. 

During that time. Schlicher, 

who had a game-high 

12 points and 16 rebounds, 

scored ei^t of the Cardinal 

points. 

"We did good enough to 

get the win." Huff said. "We 

can definitely leam from tonight." 

J-L (5-0. 3-0 Ski Valley 

Conference) led 10-8 after 

the first quarter, before the 

inspired prfay of junior Stephanie 

Fisher helped move it to 

22-12 at halftime. 

The Snowbirds fell to 1- 

3 overall and 1-2 in the Ski 

Valley, but all three teams 

have come to quality opponents, 

two of which (No. 4 

Central Lake and No. 6 J-L) 

are ranked. They only played 

with seven players as seruor 

warrior Brittany Oehlers was 

out with sickness. 1 

"I really believe we are 

good enough to play with 

the elite teams in the Ski Val- | 

ley." Jacob said. "To some de- | 

gree. the kids have to believe 

we're capable of competing. 

We need to add a little more ! 

toughness." 

House had eight points, 

five assists and four steals for 

the Cardinals, while Fisher 

added eight points and three 

steals. Junior Amanda Head, 

who had been out with injury, 

stepped off the bench 

to provide a nice lift with six 

points and five rebounds. 

Reppuhn led St. Mary with 

eight points, while junior Liz 

Foster contributed six. 

Both teams are off until 

after the New Year, when J-L 

plays at Bellaire Jan. 7 and St.

Otsego County classes 

Red Cross baby sitter 

training Dec. 29 & 30 

OTSEGO COUNTY—The 

holiday hustle is under way 

and analysts projections are 

this season will be busier 

than most. No one feels the 

pinch from shopping, parties 

and preparation more 

than moms and dads. 

That's why the American 

Red Cross and the Otsego 

County Community Foundation 

encourages families 

and caretakers to look for 

trained and certified baby 

sitters for their childcare 

needs. 

Through generous grant 

funding from the Otsego 

County Community Foundation, 

there will be two 

separate baby sitter training 

classes offered during 

Christmas break. 

Classes are scheduled for 

Monday, Dec. 29 and Tuesday, 

Dec. 30 from 9 a.m. to 4 

p.m. Class location will be at 

the Otsego County MSU Cooperative 

Extension Office 

at 800 Livingston Blvd, in 

Gaylord. There will be a copay 

of $10 for 4H members 

and $20 for nonmembers to 

help with costs along with 

the grant funding. 

Whether it's shopping 

for presents or the office 

holiday party, the demand 

for baby sitters is sure to increase. 

But in order to feel 

more relaxed and secure, 

parents and caregivers need 

to have a sitter they know 

has been trained in how to 

care for the safety and wellbeing 

of their child. 

Each year, the Red Cross 

trains and certifles more 

than 120,000 sitters nationwide 

through the baby 

sitter's training program. 

Course participants ieAm 

to administer basic Hrst 

aid; properly hold and feed 

a child; take emergency action 

when needed; monitor 

safe play and actively engage 

your child. 

The American Red Cross 

baby sitter's training program

Albert board explores updating employee handbook 

By Jil Schult 

Staff Writer 

ALBHRT TWP - The Albert 

Township board discussed 

updating the employee 

handbook during 

its regular meeting Monday 

nighi. 

Albert Ibwnship Supervisor 

judy Green gave board 

members a copy of an older 

version and a newer version 

of the handbook to compare. 

The board will set up 

a meeting time to work on 

the updated handbook after 

the holidays. 

Also during the meeting, 

the board discussed the 

need for a township zoning 

enforcement officer. They 

decided to do some further 

checking on past enforcement 

officer pay and frequency 

of a need for the officer 

before deciding how to 

handle the issue. 

John Righi, township 

treasurer, read the treasurer's 

report (see related story). He 

also suggested a cost-saving 

purchase of ice melt. The 

township currently pays $15 

for a 40-pound bag — Righi 

priced a pallet at ACE Hardware 

for 63 40-pound bags 

for $630, which is 25 cents 

per pound. The board unanimously 

approved the purchase. 

Righi also reported the 

township maintenance 

manager found a water leak 

in the basement of the old 

Ames building that resulted 

in the loss of 48,000 gallons 

of water. The water was shut 

off at the meter and did not 

interfere with the service 

of other businesses using 

township water. Righi told 

the board he was unsure of 

the cause of the leak. 

Supervisor Green read 

the Albert Township Fire and 

Ambulance report, prepared 

by Fire Chief John VanCoillie, 

who was absent from the 

It Doesn't Have to be a

Imer arrives tomorrow, 

even though 

the snow-covered 

ground gives the impression 

that it's been here for several 

weeks. But we know that ttie 

"real" beginning of winter 

comes at the Winter Solstice: 

the longest night of the year, 

which happens to be tonight. 

After that, the days begin 

their gradual stretch, the 

nights become progressively 

shorter, and before we know 

it, spring is here! 

There are a lot of tradi - 

tions around the winter 

solstice, but the oldest one is 

the Yule log, dating back well 

before the birth of Jesus. Perhaps 

some people still light 

a Yule log to brighten the 

"darkest night of the year," 

but surely not the way it was 

done in days gone by. 

In tradition, the log was 

big. Really big. It was the 

responsibility 

of the 

^rvants and 

slaves of the 

house to 

fetch the log 

and to light it. 

As long as the 

log burned, 

they were 

AnnMaric 

rowland 

required to 

do no work 

at all, and the 

master was 

obligated 

to pay them a fair wage for 

whatever work they did do.

log that they could manage. 

Often it was a green one> so 

that it would bum slowly. 

My mother told me a 

story of a Christmas party 

that her parents attended 

(this would have been 

around the time of the Great 

Depression) where the man 

placed one end of a log into 

the pot-bellied stove, leaving 

the door open because 

the log was too long. It was 

so long, in fact, that he had 

to leave the apartment door 

open as well, and prop up 

the sticking-out end on a 

chair, which he scdbt^ 

closer to the stove as the 

wood burned down. My 

grandfather was appalled. 

My grandma thou^t it was 

hilarious. The log burned all

night and into the next day, 

and the man was happy to 

avoid chopping any wood for 

that time. Perhaps he knew 

the ^dition. 

HOW do Yule logs connect 

to gardens? Well, another 

part of the tradition 

was to take the ashes ftôm 

the Yule log and spread them 

around the bases of ftioit 

trees as added assurance of 

a good harvest and thus a 

prosperous new year. 

Indeed, wood ash is a 

good addition to the garden. 

It is alkaline, which is a 

real boon here in the acidic 

north, where pines and oaks 

dominate the forests. Of 

course, too much of anything 

throws the balance off, 

but sprinkling the ashes from 

the fireplace or woodstove 

over the garden area helps 

nourish the soil right away in 

spring when the snow melts. 

Wood ash is also good for 

fighting moss in the lawn. I 

read several studies where 

various amounts of ashes 

were applied to mossy areas 

and the amount of ash applied 

directly corresponded 

to the reduction of moss. 

Gradual application is the 

key and soil testing is always 

a good idea before amendments 

are applied. Using ash 

from Charcot briquettes is 

not recommended. 

Today. Yule logs tend to 

be made of cake, filled vsath 

something creamy and covered 

in chocolate frosting, 

Qaylord Harald Timaa 

which is supposed to resemble 

bark. And instead of 

burning a log at the turning 

of the season, we light up a 

Christmas tree. 

I hope that this year your 

tree glows brightly, reminding 

you that the true meaning 

of Christmas is the Babe 

in a manger — the Light of 

the World. 

1 wish you a warm Christmas, 

full of love.

Church choir to perform Christmas Cantata Sunday 

GAYLORD —The First United Methodist 

Church (FUMC) Chancel Choir will present a 

Christmas Cantata on Sunday. 

The cantata is entitled "The Winter Rose" 

and is an encore performance of a program 

previously presented. 

According to choir conductor Gary Waldo, 

"The Winter Rose" was performed two years 

ago and because audiences found the presentation 

to be so enjoyable both musically and 

This week at the movies 

SI IIIT MkdKf. h i k 

ems I2/Slf08 

lyrically, choir members wanted to present it 

again. 

The cantata is a musical portrayal of the 

anticipation of the birth of Jesus Christ and 

also makes reference to the end of His earthly 

life and His resurrection into heaven. In "The 

Winter Rose," a unique parallel to Jesus' birth 

is portrayed by reference to a rose in a garden 

(the Rose of Sharon). 

High school sophomore Jason McArt will 

narrate throughout the performance with 

choir member Shari Waldo providing the musical 

accompaniment. 

"The Winter Rose" will be presented at the 

10:30 service Sunday at FUMC, and will be 

repeated that evening at 6 p.m. The community 

is cordially invited to come and enjoy the 

evening performance at the church, 215 S.
