along the way. Consisting of hardwoods and
evergreens up to the edge of the road, M-119
gives you a close-up look at nature at its
best.
If youre heading to Harbor Springs from
Petoskey, turn left onto M-119 from about
two miles north of downtown Petoskey, U.S.
31. Make an evening out of it and enjoy a
bite to eat or shop through the stores before
making your way to Cross village. There are
many other stops along the way, especially if
you decide to turn onto Lower Shore Drive,
where youll pass many houses, the Harbor
Point Golf Course, Thorne Swift Nature
Preserve and stretches of beach.
If you continue on M-119 without turning
on Lower Shore Drive, youll pass by the
Birchwood Inn and Country Club homes.
Then youll hit some heavy curves for about
seven miles until you reach Good Hart, a
small town with few buildings and a fun
place to stop and explore. After Good Hart,
youll finally reach Cross Village after a
breathtaking tunnel tour.
Whether its your first time on M-119 or
your hundredth, once you witness the exqui-
site fall nature display, you wont forget to
return!

The flu (influenza), according to Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, is a con-
tagious respiratory illness cause by influenza
viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness.
Serious outcomes of flu infection can result
in hospitalization or death. Some people,
such as older people, young children, and
people with certain health conditions are at
high risk for serious flu complications. The
best way to prevent the flu is by getting vac-
cinated each year. This seasons vaccine will
protect against an H1N1 virus, H3N2 virus,
and one or two influenza B viruses, depend-
ing on the vaccine.
The Health Department is making special
efforts to educate the public about universal
flu recommendations. According to Joshua
Meyerson, M.D., Medical Director for the
Health Department, "Vaccination can pre-
vent serious illness and save lives, especially
among young children and older adults,
Meyerson said. Everyone should be vacci-
nated, to prevent the spread of illness."
Meyerson recommends that everyone six
months of age or older should get vaccinated
this season.
Appointments are available for flu shots
and other vaccines at the Health
Departments offices in Bellaire, Mancelona,
Charlevoix, Petoskey/Harbor Springs and
Gaylord, as well as at local schools and busi-
nesses, including several in Elk Rapids,
Gaylord, East Jordan and Petoskey. Cost for
seasonal flu vaccination is $25. Medicaid and
Medicare are accepted, as well as private
insurance, or clients may pay by cash or
check. Call the Health Department at (800)
432-4121 to schedule an appointment. You
can also visit www.nwhealth.org or
www.facebook.com/nwhealthdepartment
for details on flu clinics being offered at a
school or business in your area.
Flu vaccinations offer protection through-
out the entire flu season, which can begin as
early as October and last as late as May.
There are two types of flu vaccines: the flu
shot, approved for use in people six (6)
months of age and older, including healthy
people, people with chronic medical condi-
tions and pregnant women; and the nasal-
spray flu vaccine, approved for use in
healthy people from 2-49 years of age who
are not pregnant.
The Health Department of Northwest
Michigan is mandated by the Michigan
Public Health Code to promote wellness,
prevent disease, provide quality healthcare,
address health problems of vulnerable popu-
lations, and protect the environment for the
residents and visitors of Antrim, Charlevoix,
Emmet, and Otsego Counties.
Dont get weighed down by the flu this sea-
son; get vaccinated today!

nation. On Saturday, October 19th,
Northern Michigan country music fans will
have a rare opportunity to experience a live
performance by Confederate Railroad in the
up close and personal setting of Gaylords
Gornick Auditorium.
Confederate Railroads appearance head-
lines this years Kountry Klassic concert,
which is an annual fundraiser for the
Gaylord Kiwanis Club and co-sponsored by
Eagle 101.5 and Straights Country 93.5 radio,
and the show will open with the incredibly
rich, resounding vocals of area favorite, Don
Moyer. Kountry Klassic has become a
much-anticipated concert event and pro-
ceeds from this annual fundraiser will go to
the Gaylord Kiwanis Club in support of their
many community-oriented programs.
Memorable classics such as Queen Of
Memphis, Jesus And Mama, and Daddy
Never Was the Cadillac Kind have
engrained Confederate Railroad into the
hearts and toe-tapping souls of countless
country music fans, and the group has sold
nearly five million albums during their
career. They have been named the Academy
of Country Musics Best New Group, have
earned a Grammy nomination, several
Country Music Association and British
Country Music Foundation nominations,
and were nominated for Best Country Video
by the CMA in 1996. Not bad for a band that
started out as a Georgia bar band over 20
years ago.
The bands founder and frontman, Danny
Shirley, states, There is nothing profound
about this. Weve been playing music in one
form or another for 20 years, and we still
enjoy it. One reason is that we do material
we like. We do what we want the way we
want.
Audience members at October 19ths
Kountry Klassic concert can expect a high-
energy combination of honky-tonk rockers,
sensitive ballads as well as offbeat humor
that have created the unique and widely
popular Confederate Railroad identity.
Dont delay in purchasing tickets for this
exciting Kountry Klassic musical event.
General admission tickets for the Saturday
October 19th performance, which starts at 7
pm, are available for $17 per person. For
ticket information, call Richard Sumerix at
(989) 619-0027 or (989) 732-2177. To check
out Confederate Railroad, visit www.confed-
eraterailroad.com.
The Kountry Klassic live musical event at Gornick Auditorium will open with the

TERRIFIC
KIDS
All kids are terrific and here at North Ohio Elementary, we are acknowledging kids for good character. The Kiwanis club of
Otsego County is helping us with this endeavor. Students who exhibit good behavior by following our school rules will be
recognized by staff for doing so. One student per class will be selected to receive a Terrific Kid award, button, and pencil.
The student names will be announced on our morning announcements. They will also have their picture taken to hang on
our Terrific Kid bulletin board. This is an excellent opportunity for staff, students, parents and the community to connect
on a social/emotional level because good character is just as important as good grades!
Exciting treasures always on hand at
New Beginnings Thrift Store
By Jim Akans
We are well known for having very high
quality items that someone doesnt typically
find in a resale shop, observes New
Beginnings Thrift Store manager, Carol
Grissom. Our inventory is constantly
changing, so there is something new and
exciting to discover here each and every
day.
Located at 650 W. Conway Road in Harbor
Springs, New Beginnings Thrift Store has an
incredible selection of top quality, gently
used clothing and accessories, furniture,
books, jewelry, tons of household items, and
much more on display at their 12,000 square
foot facility. The shop was originally located
in the basement of the Holy Childhood
School when the operation was founded
back in the 1980s. Proceeds at that time
helped to support the schools day care pro-
gram.
The Shop began operating under the
direction of the Holy Childhood of Jesus
Church in 2005, being re-organized to func-
tion more like a typical Thrift Shop, featuring
donated inventory from local residents and
businesses with a level of quality that far
exceeded shoppers expectations. Proceeds
from sales at the shop are utilized to support
tuitions for children from Holy Childhood
School who attend St. Francis in Petoskey,
with remaining funds going to assist area
individuals in need.
What truly sets our shop apart is the
incredibly high level of quality items that we
offer, states Grissom. The clothing, furni-
ture, and other household items we have to
offer are beyond what shoppers will typically
find at a resale store.
New Beginnings Thrift Store is open
Monday through Friday from 9 am until 6
pm, and on Saturday from 9 am until 5 pm.
For additional information call (231) 348-
2980 or visit New Beginnings Thrift Resale on
Facebook.

Council of Catholic Women (PCCW) will host their annual
retreat at the Cathedral from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. All
women are invited to attend this retreat with the focus on
Women's Role in Evangelization. There is no cost to attend
the retreat, which includes lunch, but a free-will offering
will be accepted.
Helping women learn to effectively evangelize will be the
focus of this retreat with presentations by Sister Sarah
Burdick, of Renewal Ministries, of Ann Arbor, Michigan and
Father Patrick Maher, pastor of St. Joseph Parish, West
Branch, Michigan, Kujawa stated. She added, There is a
spiritual void in the lives of so many people and we are
hopeful we will learn how to communicate Christ's love to
those in need of hope through these presentations.
Sister Burdick is an evangelist and dynamic speaker who
has spoken nationally and internationally on a variety of
spiritual topics. She is the Director of Formation for the reli-
gious community, Servants of God's Love, in the Diocese of
Lansing. Father Maher, in addition to his duties as pastor at

You probably have thought about
what youd like to do during your retire-
ment years. But all your plans probably
depend, to at least some extent, on your
financial situation. What happens if you
reach the age at which you wish to retire
and you just dont have the money you
thought youd have?
If this occurs, its time for Plan B.
What does that look like? Here are a cou-
ple of possibilities:
Continue working. If you like your
job, you may not mind working an extra
year or so. Youll be bringing in more
income and contributing more to your
401(k) or other retirement account
and, perhaps almost as importantly, you
may be able to avoid tapping into these
retirement accounts, thus giving them
more time to potentially grow.
(However, once you turn 70, youll
need to begin taking withdrawals from
your 401(k) and a traditional IRA.) But if
you are really not enamored with the
idea of working any longer, you might
find that even the ability to beef up
your retirement plans for another cou-
ple of years isnt much consolation.
Adjust your retirement lifestyle. Its
pretty simple: If you dont save as much
as you had planned for retirement, you
probably cant do all the things you
wanted to do as a retiree. For example,
you may not be able to travel as much,
or pursue your hobbies to the extent
youd like.
Clearly, youd like to avoid these
retirement contingency plans. To do
so, though, youll need to take steps well
before you retire. And the most impor-
tant move you can make may be to con-
tribute as much as you can possibly
afford to your IRA and your 401(k) or
other employer-sponsored retirement
plan.
During the last several years before
you wish to retire, you may be in a
strong position to max out on these
plans because, at this stage of your life,
your income may be at its highest point,
your children may be grown and you
may even have retired your mortgage.
If you still have money left with which to
invest, you may want to look at other
tax-advantaged vehicles that can be
used for retirement.
But while its important to put in as
much as possible to your retirement
accounts, you need to do more than that
you also must put the money in the
right investments within these
accounts. Your exact investment mix
should be based on your individual risk
tolerance and time horizon, but, as a
general rule, these investments must
provide you with the growth potential
youll need to accumulate sufficient
resources for retirement.
Of course, as you know, investments
move up and down. You cant prevent
this, but youll certainly want to reduce
the effects of
volatility as much
as possible when
you enter retire-
m e n t .
Cons e que nt l y,
during your final
working years, you
may need to
adjust your retire-
ment accounts by
shifting some of
your assets
(though certainly
not all) from
growth-oriented
vehicles to
income-produc-
ing ones.
Its a good idea
to have contin-
gency plans in
place for virtually
every endeavor in
life and paying
for your retire-
ment years is no
different. But if you can make the right
moves to avoid the contingency plans in
the first place, then so much the better.

2234 M-32 West, Gaylord, MI 49735
The Blissfest Music Organization kicks off its fall 2013
Concert Series with Bobby Yang and his Unrivaled Players.
The performance is set for Friday September 27th, 2013 at 8
p.m. at the Crooked Tree Arts Center in Petoskey which is
located at 461 E. Mitchell St. The Washington Post
describes Bobby with these words: "[songs were] shot
through with lightning by Bobby Yang who sawed his violin
as if it were on fire...."
Melding his classical training with years of Colorado
mountain wood shedding, Bobby Yang is reinventing the
sound of the acoustic violin. His inimitable sound com-
bines the virtuosity of the violin with the dirt of a bluegrass
fiddle and the rawness of a guitar. He has surrounded him-
self with musicians who share his madness, his Unrivaled
Players, while touring internationally.
Alongside classic rock jams, he is performing his latest
album "The Lost Cosmonaut," a heroic and heartbreaking
album of original instrumental music, on his current tour.
It's a soundtrack for the most inspiring film you've never
seen and features lush instrumental songs with memorable
melodies. At each show, Bobby shares the story of The Lost
Cosmonaut, an astronaut who was a hero of the race to
space in the late 50s.
For his signature classic rock jams, Yangs violin acts as
both the lead singer and guitarist, as the songs of Led
Zeppelin, RUSH, and other rock legends, become instru-
mental jams. In his own words: Its time for the violin to get
dirty. And to clarify, he means the acoustic. His rendition of
Eddie Van Halens Eruption solo, a solo featured on Van
Halens debut album, is touted as better than the original,
and Yang does it acoustically, without pedals or effects, on a
wooden violin.
He perfected his classical chops while earning his
Masters in Violin Performance with Paul Kantor at the
University of Michigan and is a frequent soloist with sym-
phony orchestras, including a breakthrough Harris Concert
Hall performance of Mozarts 3rd Violin Concerto with
improvised cadenzas and a last movement in-cadenza trib-
ute to Hendrixs Hey Joe. This cadenza was a prelude to
his current musical success.
Bobbys passion for rock has led him to new venues,
including regular in-game performances for the NBA and
NHL, rock clubs from NY to CA with his band, and music
festivals including Stagecoach at Coachella and the
Downtown Hoedown in Detroit with Kevin Costner. Bobby's
original compositions have earned the admiration of Top 40
musicians who invite him to write string arrangements for
their pop and rock singles. In the studio, he uses the violin
to create orchestral layers, composing parts for the cello,
viola, and violin, and then performs each part on a separate
track to create a recorded orchestra.
In August of 2009, Bobby was featured on Collective
Souls album 'Rabbit'. He worked closely with Butch Walker
crafting string arrangements for several songs on Walkers
album 'Letters'. His work with Walker earned him the
opportunity to record with Avril Lavigne, Cowboy Mouth,
and Default. He has also worked with acclaimed 311 pro-
ducer Ron Saint Germain.
Bobby has released three albums: the debut No. 1
Tribute, his second album, Yang It, Live from Eddies
Attic... Yang It - his personal motto - is a call for people to
do their best and to do it with their own personal panache;
the opposite of Wing It And, now, "The Lost Cosmonaut."
When he isnt performing with his Unrivaled Players,
Bobby is Kevin Costners fiddler in Costners new band
Modern West. He is also featured in Costner's 2008 movie
"Swing Vote".
While some violinists are clamoring to revolutionize the
string world with the electric violin, Yang is proving that
perhaps it isnt the violin that needs changing; its the vio-
linist.
The Crooked Tree Arts Center will surely be the place to
be on Friday September 27th at 8 p.m. when Bobby Yang
and his Unrivaled Players take the stage. His music will take
you to new heights and a greater appreciation of the cre-
ativity with the violin.

Established as a non-profit in Otsego
County back in July of 1972, with roots
reaching back to the formation of the
Community Fund in 1965, the Otsego
County United Way has been hard at work
locally improving the quality of life through
volunteers and community programs for
over forty years.
We are about the people in our commu-
nity helping others in our community,
states Jim Akans, who was recently named
Executive Director for the Otsego County
United Way. That assistance comes through
contributions, volunteerism, and simply
talking to friends, neighbors and co-workers
about the work the United Way does in our
community. I am amazed at the scope of the
work we do; it reaches into nearly every cor-
ner of life in our county and it also impacts
our future.
There are three internal United Way pro-
grams; First Call for Help, which offers utility
and rent assistance for those experiencing a
temporary financial set-back, Retired Senior
and Volunteer Program (RSVP), which coor-
dinates approximately 350 community vol-
unteers who assist with a wide range of com-
munity events and services including med-
ical transport and congregate meal delivery,
and the Volunteer Center, which coordinates
community volunteers from their teens to
their fifties with services such as Stuff the
Bus school supply collection, Road to
Recovery cancer patient transport and the
Lunch Buddies student mentoring program.
We also house the Otsego County Food
Pantry and Community Mediation is at our
facility on Fifth Street in Gaylord, Akans
relates. These and other non-profit organi-
zations in the community receive grants that
we allocate each spring based on recom-
mendations from a citizens review panel and
our Otsego County United Way Board. The
funds we are able to allocate each year is a
direct reflection of the dollars we are able to
raise during our annual fall fundraising cam-
paign.
That campaign is currently underway,
combining donations received by individuals
and families as well as local businesses and
organizations. Last year the campaign raised
nearly $170,000 and this year that goal has
been set at $185,000 the first time that goal
has been increased in several years.
During a time when so many service
organizations are experiencing funding cuts
at the state and federal level, Akans empha-
sizes, the programs and services the United
Way is able to assist through our annual
grants has become more important than
ever before. Contributions of any size will
make a significant difference in continuing
the work we are able to accomplish each
year. The funds we are able to distribute in
our county are not dependent on the deci-
sions of state and federal legislatorsour
donations come directly from the hearts of
those who live here and are utilized to assist
those who also live here.
In addition to the internal programs the
Otsego United Way is currently supporting,
community grant allocations in 2013 for spe-
cific programs at local non-profit organiza-
tions include the Salvation Army, Child
Welfare Alliance, Catholic Human Services,
Community Mediation Services, Womens
Resource Center, Otsego Parks & Recreation,
Otsego County Food Pantry and the Otsego
County Judicial System. The Otsego County
United Way is also a major sponsor of the
recently launched 211-telephone support
network that assists in connecting people in
need with people who can help.
For additional information, please contact
Jim Akans at the Otsego County United Way
at (989) 732-8929 or visit www.otsegounited-
way.org. Those who would like to make a
contribution to the 2014 campaign can con-
tact Pam Beasinger at the United Way for
information and donation forms.

LOCAL NEWS
Choosing a locally owned store
generates almost four times as
much 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 and
seven 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 52
percent 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.

The North Central District (NCD) of hospi-
tal auxiliaries met at the Camp Grayling
Officers Club on September 17th. Around 75
Auxiliary members attended. The NCD
meetings are held for the Auxiliary
Presidents and other Auxiliary
members. Presidents attending were from
the following hospitals; Gaylord, Grayling,
Paul Oliver Memorial Hospital in Frankfort,
West Branch Regional Medical Center; Mercy
Hospital Cadillac; Alpena Regional Medical
Center; Charlevoix Area Hospital; Munson
Medical Center Traverse City; West Shore
Medical Manistee.
Just prior to the NCD luncheon, Staff Sgt.
1st Class Boswell drove the bus and US Army
Col. Jim Gardiner, a Grayling resident, gave
an informative tour of just some the 147,000
acre Camp Grayling which is celebrating its
100th year as a military training facility. He
showed us the barracks old and new which
can hold as many as 6,600 soldiers. The new
mess hall, and a Home station training Lane
where the soldiers train just prior to ship-
ping out. Here they train in a manmade vil-
lage which simulates the villages in
Afghanistan and surrounding areas. Mostly
Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Michigan soldiers
train at this base. Col. Gardiner was ask if the
soldiers had an opinion on whether or not
they should question orders from their presi-
dent, he stated, "We are here to do our job
and we do it well".
Among the NCD guests were President of
the OMH Auxiliary, Ms. Peg Metzger along
with Bev Cherwinski Founder/Coordinator
of the Organ Transplant Support Group of
Northern Michigan, both are working with
the "Gift of Life Michigan" to organize a con-
test for all the NCD members and staff to see
which hospital can get the most persons to
register to become an Organ and Tissue
donor. This contest will run from September
through January 31, 2014. The wining hospi-
tal with the most persons registered will
receive a "Gift of Life Rose Bush" from
Edmond's Roses along with a plaque to be
placed in front of it , Honoring all Organ and
Tissue Donors and their families. This prize
will be presented to the winning hospital at
the Spring NCD meeting which will be held
in May of 2014 in Gaylord.

LOCAL NEWS
By Heather DeLong
Since 1998, Gaylord has been
home to the New Life Pregnancy
Center, which serves moms,
dads, grandparents, foster par-
ents or anyone in legal custody
of a child. New Life is a non-
profit organization that receives
all of its funding from dona-
tions, grants, baby bottles and
fundraisers.
All of New Lifes services are
free of charge, and parenting
classes, financial classes and life
skill classes are available. New
Life Pregnancy Resource Center
also offers a support group for
new moms. To the organiza-
tions delight, there has been a
great influx of donations since
June, and New Life hopes to
reach out to many more new
parents in the coming years.
Julie Holmes, from New Life Pregnancy Resource Center,
explains, Here at New Life we are a Christian based family
resource center. We offer our clients a way to earn the things
they need for their children. Some examples would be cribs,
car seats, strollers, diapers, wipes, and clothing. These things
can be earned by taking parenting classes, volunteering at the
center, maintaining a checking and savings account, attending
church and bible studies, and attending support groups, just to
name a few. We do not charge for any of our services.
She adds, We are a Christian organization that does not turn
away anyone in need, and we provide our services to all who
seek them. It is our goal to empower parents with positive, fam-
ily strengthening skills and education. We believe this enables
the children to be better citizens and someday great parents
themselves. We believe that anyone who invests in New Life
invests in the community of Gaylord and our surrounding
areas. The financial support we receive allows us to provide the
services that strengthen the families that live and work in this
community, thereby strengthening the community as a whole.
New Life has a clothing closet that includes new clothes (up
to size 6), like-new clothes, shoes, baby food, formula and toi-
letries. The center loans out used baby items to anyone in
need. Pregnancy testing is available on a walk in basis, and
clients can make appointments that work around their sched-
ules. New life is always looking for information on the
resources our clients need to find a job, housing and other
needed services.
The staff as New Life is always here just to be a listening ear.
Clients and visitors are welcome to come in for a chat anytime
during the hours of Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10
am to 4 pm. All services are confidential with New Life advi-
sors. The building is located at 705 S. Otsego Avenue and you
can also reach us by phone at (989) 732-1626 or email us at
gaylordnewlife@yahoo.com. Feel free to visit our website at
www.gaylordnewlife.com where you can make donations and
see whats new at the center.
This year as of September, 2,640 disposable diapers have
been provided to families in need, 172 households have been
able to find the immediate help they needed and in over 191
visits, young moms and dads have found our center open and
able to help with everything from car seats to cribs, maternity
and baby clothing, formula, food, baby bedding, along with
other infant and personal care items. You can help make a dif-
ference to new parents in many different forms; either by
adding one of our large baby bottles to your business to collect
change for the center, volunteering, or by donation, you can
make a huge difference in your community.
*To contact Heather DeLong for any comments, questions or concerns,
she can be reached at heather@weeklychoice.com.
A list of possibilities; ways to contribute to New
Live Pregnancy Resource Center
New Life is always accepting help, either in the form of donations or volunteering. Below is a list of
ways in which you can contribute:
- Baby Room: Once a week, someone is needed to straighten and sort clothes. This position also
rotates clothing according to season and stores the clothing in the designated clothing area, rotates baby
food jars by date, and stocks shelves.
- Cleaning: Includes once a week deep cleaning of the Resource Center.
Secretarial: Someone to answer phones, fill out intake forms, and do some general computer tasks.
- Grant Writing: This person works with the board and director on all things grant writing.
- Fundraising: Looking for individuals to work with the board and director on fundraising ideas and
also to be at the fundraisers to fill needed positions.
- Newsletter Mailings: Includes people coming in once per quarter to fold and address our newslet-
ters.
- Web Design and Social Networking: If you are gifted in these areas we need you. This position
would be on an as needed basis. We need someone who can keep our website current and relevant. This
person would need to know current trends and be able to apply them to enhance the centers image.
- Layette Makers: We deliver layette bags to Otsego County Memorial Hospital for moms who give
birth there and are in need. These bags come with diapers, outfits, a blanket, a bible and many other
needed items. We do this about 8 times a year. This position would fill the bags and deliver them to
OMH.
- Laundry Service: Includes washing donated clothing and blankets in your own home. We will call
when we have a bag of laundry for you.
- Church Liaisons: We need a person from each of our church affiliates to represent us to the
churches. This person would keep the church up to date on all of the activities we are involved in as well
as being the contact for our Baby Bottle fundraisers.
- Peer Advising: This is a very serious and important role at the center. All who are interested would
have to be able to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all who enter our doors for service. You would
be with a client for pregnancy test intake and self-administered pregnancy test. You would be able to
facilitate any classes we offer to our clients.
- Banquet Crew: We need people who are good with decorating, set-up, take-down, catering skills,
kitchen work, and much more for our spring banquets.
- Food Preparation: We need someone to prepare meals and snacks for our Crossover meeting on
the 1st and 4th Monday of every month.
Not sure what to donate? Right now, New Life Pregnancy Resource Center is in need of boys clothes
sized twelve months and up, and is always in need of diapers. New Life does not accept used car seats,
and cribs have to be up to guidelines.

THURSDAY: Psalm 104:24-26 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 24 O Lord, how many are Your
works! In wisdom You have made them all; The earth is full of Your possessions. 25 There is the
sea, great and broad, In which are swarms without number, Animals both small and great. 26
There the ships move along, And Leviathan, which You have formed to sport in it.
FRIDAY: Matthew 15:33-37 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 33 The disciples *said to Him, Where
would we get so many loaves in this desolate place to satisfy such a large crowd? 34 And Jesus
*said to them, How many loaves do you have? And they said, Seven, and a few small fish. 35
And He directed the people to sit down on the ground; 36 and He took the seven loaves and the
fish; and giving thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples
gave them to the people. 37 And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left
over of the broken pieces, seven large baskets full.
SATURDAY: Mark 12:41-44 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 41 And He sat down opposite the treas-
ury, and began observing how the people were putting money into the treasury; and many rich
people were putting in large sums. 42 A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which
amount to a cent. 43 Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, Truly I say to you, this poor
widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury; 44 for they all put in out of their sur-
plus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on.
SUNDAY: Acts 8:9-13 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 9 Now there was a man named Simon, who
formerly was practicing magic in the city and astonishing the people of Samaria, claiming to be
someone great; 10 and they all, from smallest to greatest, were giving attention to him, saying,
This man is what is called the Great Power of God. 11 And they were giving him attention
because he had for a long time astonished them with his magic arts. 12 But when they believed
Philip preaching the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were
being baptized, men and women alike. 13 Even Simon himself believed; and after being baptized,
he continued on with Philip, and as he observed signs and great miracles taking place, he was con-
stantly amazed.
MONDAY: 1 Corinthians 4:2-4 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 2 In this case, moreover, it is required
of stewards that one be found trustworthy. 3 But to me it is a very small thing that I may be exam-
ined by you, or by any human court; in fact, I do not even examine myself. 4 For I am conscious
of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord.
TUESDAY: James 3:4-8 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 4 Look at the ships also, though they are so
great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by a very small rudder wherever the incli-
nation of the pilot desires. 5 So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of
great things. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire! 6 And the tongue is a fire,
the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire
body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell. 7 For every species of beasts
and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race. 8
But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison.
WEDNESDAY: Revelation 19:4-6 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 4 And the twenty-four elders and
the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne saying, Amen.
Hallelujah! 5 And a voice came from the throne, saying, Give praise to our God, all you His
bond-servants, you who fear Him, the small and the great. 6 Then I heard something like the
voice of a great multitude and like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of
thunder, saying, Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns.

Joy Fellowship -
Assembly of God
The Little Ones
The young preacher was out in the woods alone that winter morning. He had been cutting firewood
and had decided to take a break so he turned off his chain saw, sat it at his feet and took a seat on a
stump. He had come to the woods that morning more to unwind than to cut wood. He found that cut-
ting wood was one of the few activities that allowed him to completely forget about everything else.
As he sat there he closed his eyes and he began to pray. He was deeply troubled. He was finding in
his first ministry assignment how un-Christ like some Christians could be. He was being confronted
with the fact that some people in the church had agendas that involved self promotion and had little if
anything to do with reaching the lost. He was deeply was shocked to find out that some Christians
loved you to your face and hated you behind your back. Worse yet he felt he was failing to make a dif-
ference in changing anything in the church.
As he prayed he began to pray and sing in the Spirit. After a few minutes, he sensed that he was no
longer alone. As he continued to sing he opened his eyes and was amazed to see at least fifty chick-
adees surrounding him. They were perched on branches around him. Several were perched on the bar
of his chainsaw. A good dozen were around his feet; in fact one was even sitting on his boot! These
birds showed no fear of him whatsoever. Having grown up on a farm and spending a good amount of
his outdoor time in the woods he knew this was not normal. As he continued to sing and watch the
birds the Spirit of the Lord spoke to his heart; Just preach my word in the power of my Spirit and just
as I have drawn these little ones here I will draw little ones to you.
Of all the creatures in the woods the little chickadees are the most insignificant. Just a few ounces of
fluff and feather. They are defenseless and while cute; they really dont stand out that much. Yet when
God drew them together that day they became the Holy Spirits illustration of one the greatest truths
the young preacher would ever learn. Over the years his ministry would take him into various small
towns and involve him in planting and restoring churches. Wherever he went he endeavored to preach
the Word in the power of the Spirit and never forget to look for the little ones God would draw. Most of
those little ones took the form of children but some while physically not so little were still ignored by
society. Usually they were poor or outcast. On more than one occasion he would be told that he
couldnt build a church on children and poor people. He was told he needed to be more practical; to
get in touch with reality.
Now that young preacher isnt so young anymore; he has never forgotten the reality of that day in
the woodsandI never will.

By Deb Hagen-Foley
Meditation refers to any of a range of
practices that emphasize periods of quiet
thoughtfulness. Transcendental medita-
tion is one of the most popular forms;
mindfulness meditation is another. There
are Zen, Taoist, and Buddhist meditative
techniques. Prayer is another form of
meditation. The goal of any of these
approaches is to quiet the mind and
reduce stress.
Researchers are documenting the posi-
tive effects of meditation. Transcendental
meditation (TM) activates the sympathetic
nervous system, dilates blood vessels and
reduces stress hormones. Regular medita-
tion is associated with brain changes relat-
ed to improved attention, sensory aware-
ness and emotional processing and acti-
vating a larger portion of the brain when
responding to stimuli.
Those who meditated
longer showed greater
changes. The researchers
don't claim that meditating
leads to these brain
changes, but the results are
suggestive.
Extensive research has found a relation-
ship between meditation and reduced
stress and anxiety, reduced depression and
insomnia. Physical benefits have also
been found, such as: reduction in pain,
reduced blood pressure, cardiovascular
disease, reduced resting heart rate, choles-
terol, congestive heart failure, metabolic
syndrome (pre-diabetes), hospitalization
rates, decreased medical care usage and
hospitalization; and increased longevity in
the elderly.
Meditation can also help you to look
better, as it promotes youthful skin and a
youthful appearance. Meditation is relat-
ed to cognitive benefits, such as: improved
memory, moods, creativity, productivity
and intelligence. Research in workplaces
has found that practicing TM for three
months was related to improved work and
personal relationships and increased per-
sonal and professional satisfaction.
Think you don't have enough time to
meditate? People report benefits from
only five minutes per day. The time you
spend meditating will be well worth it.
Researchers have found that meditation
can make you more productive and effi-
cient.
Meditation is very simple and yet diffi-
cult to perfect, which is why it is call a
"practice." Perfection is completely
unnecessary. To get started, spend just
five minutes in the morning or evening.
Find a comfortable spot, free of distrac-
tions if possible. You don't need to sit
cross-legged. Sit comfortably or lay down,
if that works best for you. Set a timer for
five minutes. Breathe deeply and focus on
your breathing, in and out. Thoughts will
enter your mind. Observe them and let
them fade away.
Continue to focus on your breath.
Thoughts will continue to come and go.
The goal is to observe them and let them
go - not to get caught up in the thought.
Over time, you will develop better ability
to ignore the thoughts. This will carry over
into the rest of your life. Instead of getting
anxious over a thought or
an event, you will be able
to observe it, react to it if
necessary, but without the
stressful reaction you may
have had without a medita-
tive practice. Try it today -
you have only five minutes
to lose and so much to
gain!
