I was happy to see a beagle named"Uno" win Best of Show at theWestminster Kennel Club. Uno became the ftrst beagle to win that showin the 100 years of its existence. Anews report says he would have wonnoisiest ofshow, too, for his frequenthowls of "ah-roo!"
While I was happy to see a beaglewin Best of Show, I do have someconcerns. I'm not entirely pleasedwith a dog that bawls "ah-roo" whenthere are no rabbits around, for onething. And the name Uno concernsme, too.
I've read that the Donner Party'sdog was named Uno. I suspect hewas the ftrst one eaten; proving thatbeing number one isn't always agood thing.I've always liked beagles, but I never
thought of them as show dogs. I'veowned several of these little hounds,and all of them were down and dirtyhunting dogs, not prissy, little showdogs. My beagles lived by one uncompromising rule: Ifyou can't eat it,roll in it.Each ofmy beagles had some faults
as well as enduring qualities. The ftrstone, Gus, is a case in point. Gus wasfast, and he was smart. •
That dog could outrun three teenage boys across a com field and stillflush a pheasant 100 yards out. Gusdeveloped a habit the hound men call"cutting across," meaning he wouldleave the scent of a rabbit track at azig and pick it up at the next zag.

For better or worse.we're gambling Mecca
When I first became aware ofplansto establish a card room in downtownOxford, I felt that the gambling virusthat has swept across the state hadinfected another segment ofthe business community.It's not a done deal in Oxford, it has
to be approved by the zoning board,but if it is given an official okay arobm with about a dozen full-size casino style poker tables is planned.What makes'this possible in Michi
gan, when most gambling is againstthe law, is that the games are operated legally by various charities under a lease arrangement with guarantees that the charities will not loseany money.
Texas Hold'em is sweeping thecountry and the proposed owner ofthe facility in Oxford says that in thelast couple of years the number ofcard rooms near Oxford has grownfrom about 2 to perhaps 50.Actually, with the Indian reservation
operations not subject to Michigan'slaws, and the 3 giant casinos in Detroit and more and more casinosstretching across the state, we are fastbecoming nearly as wide open asNevada.I can't help wondering how long the
Thumb can resist housing a casinooperation with the incentive of taxbenefits and increased business thatthey promise to produce.My problem with the spread ofgam
bling is that easy access has increased' the number of people whoparticipate.I like to gamble and was exposed to
it at an early age when in high schoolin Pinconning. Gambling at that timewas of course illegal, but little attention was paid to it. Card games;it thelocal pool hall were held every night.After I left town I was informed thatthe games shifted to bars or thebackroom of restaurants.
The point is that gambling continued unabated before the Indian casino invasion, so what's the difference? Availability, ofcourse. Therewere zero women playing in the poolhalls and, I guess, few that played in

It's practieally impossible to de"scribe the effects ofa car accident. Depenj.,.,ing on the severity ofthe car accident and ifyou survive, it can stay with yfor a lifetime. '.
Car accidents are divided into many different categories. They includ'truck under~rid~, b~ckup, sui~i~es, rear-end collisions, head-on collision!rollovers, and SIde Impact colhsIQns. ~
AcconJjng to government statistics, each year 43,000 Americans die due 1ilvehicle crashes. Residents of Michigan already know the dangers of reclii!less driving, but also know that horrible weather conditions in the wint~
seasons can bring out the worst car accidents. '~
Although most people might think that women are more likely to get intoclcar accident, Carnegie-Mellon University released a study Jan. 18, 2007, th~would prove otherwise. This University found that there are 1.35 ,male deat:h!as compared to .77 female deaths for every one hundred million miles drivett:This study also found that male drivers are 77 percent more likely to die in ~car accident than women. One last observation was made that male drivedages 16-23 are more likely to be involved in a fatal vehicle accident than the.average driver due to inexperience and a lack ofmaturity. iWhat may not be surprising when you think about it, but more as a proofo~
responsibility from teenagers to parents, is thatelderly women are 60 percen..~more likely to suffer a fatal ac.cident than a 16-year-old boy. They are alsomore likely to die in a vehicle even as passengers and are subject to thfhighest road related death risks in America. ,
The NHTSA found the 10 deadliest days to drive based on 25 years dBresearch. They are: July 4, July 3, Dec. 23, Dec. 24, Dec. 22, Aug. 3, Jan. 18Sept. 1, Sept. 2, and Aug. 4. The most obvious explanation for some ofthesedates would be that they are around holidays in which families come to-gether. •Statistics are an over-all estimation ofwhat our nation is forced to go through
each day, month, or year. They help us to calculate our risks and to be awareof the world surrounding us and possibly become safer as a result. Acci-.dents can't be stopped, but they can be prevented on a certain level. Askingquestions can always be helpful ifyou don't fully understand how to drive insnowy, rainy, or any other type of weather conditions.
Always be a defensive driver, notice the most subtle movements of othercars, and watch out for animals crossing the road.

want to tell'mothers, who are illegalaliens, t9 leave the country becausetheir sons are serving in Iraq.
Mr. McCain, you seem to be theproblem here. If you and your colleagues would have enforced the immigration laws 24 years ago, youwouldn't be in the position today totell mothers they had to leave Ameri~a.Mr. McCain, you keep telling us that
you're the most qualified to lead thecountry because of your experiencein foreign affairs. You say you knowall there is to know about handlingforeign affairs, yet you can't see thatwe are being taken over by countriesthat have no weapons. You and allyour colleagues may think you knowforeign affairs, but you don't and youlack the will or foresight it would taketo repair our reputation on the worldstage. For instance, ifyou can recall,the last war America won was WorldWar II. Every conflict since then we 'have managed to screw up, and youare calling this a good record?? Idon't think'so.
While on the campaign trail, youkeep saying that you were the onlyone calling for Rumsfeld's resignation because he wasn't running thewar the way he should have been toassure the American victory in Iraq.Are you telling us that Rurnsfeld wasthe only one who is responsible forour Iraq policy? You don't think thePentagon brass also played a hugerole in the war policy? This showsyou know nothing about how ourforeign policy is created and administered.
Well, not only has McCain beenwrong about foreign policy issues,but he apparently also has no ideahow to turn around our ailingeconomy that he and his colleagueshelp create.
It looks as though McCain andClinton will be the 2 nominees running for president this fall. L<?oks likeMcCain should ask Obama to be hisvice-presidential running mate, because this is going to be the first timein history that we will have to make achoice between 2 Democrats forpresident.Another big problem is our elections
are flawed. The primaries should beheld the same as the general elections, so everybody's got a voice,
scheduled for Saturday, July 12,when volunteers from across thecounty will pull together and tacklethe chores lined up for the day. Somemajor tasks may be started beforehand, or may be completed after thework date, butmost ofthe chQres willbe completed in one oay.
To apply for the program, refer someone else's home for repairs, or to volunteer, contact Julia DeGuise at (989)672-6352. Applications must beturned in by Sunday, April 6, to beconsidered for this year's projects.

We are blessed to have many agencies, services and programs availablein our rural area so that we are notleft out. We have many places to goto share with kind hearted people intimes of need and some wonderfulchurch outreach groups. I see this asa true blessing. The "everyday angels" in our community are continuously out there diligently fundraisingand grant writing to keep our area upto date for services, programming andpublic awareness.

Time to look at thepresidential candidatesDear Editor
'people across America wanted a'changed in Washington, D.C., so wevoted out the Republican House andSenate and brought in the Democrats.Now, after just 2 years the Democratshave a lower approval rating than theRepublicans they replaced.
Now, it's time to take a look at thepresidential race, and John McCain.He has one of the worst votingrecords in Wa~hington, yet here inMichigan he received 100,000 votesand pulled off victories in both NewHampshire and Florida. With McCain,it just doesn't seem like we are getting a change, just more of the sameold Washington politics.Consider for a moment, a bill called
the Kennedy-McCain ImmigrationBill. This bill was created to satisfythe commerce department, big business and special interest groups, notthe interests ofthe American people.When the American people found outhow terrible the bill was, the legislators backed down and didn't attemptto pass it. Because of this, McCainshouldn't have gotten one vote inMichigan, or anywhere else for thatmatter, shame on him for trying to pullthe wool over us Americans' eyes.Mr. McCain, with a bill this poorly
conceived, you don't even seem torepresent the people of your homestate of Arizona, not to mention thelack of representation of the American people as a whole. Not once inyour 24 years of service in Arizonadid you attempt to do anything aboutthe immigration laws until you startedrunning for president. The immigration problem is now breaking yourstate. Now, while on the campaigntrail, you keep saying that you don't

, About 3 years ago, the Cass City High School band had been invited to'perfonn at Epcot's Futureland Theater down in Orlando, Fla. The band islong overdue for another band trip.Starting the funding this year for the band's 2008-2009 band trip to Tampa,
Fla., Ms. Tichnell, the band director, plans on taking the band to Florida overNew Year's. Our band will combine with the other bands to fonn a mass'ensemble to perfonn half-time at Raymond James Stadium.The trip won't be just this mass performance; the band will also have some
"free time". They will have their first day in Florida at a beach in St. Peters,bUrg,. they will go to Busch Gardens, and they will perfonn in the Outba.ckNational Bowl Parade (but since it is concert season for our band, the parade'will not be judged,) and have breakfast with the other musicians. The breakfust will be an opportune time for the band students to diversify themselvesby conversing with the other band students from across the country.
On another note, there is something odd about band as a class. Band students show up to class for one hour a day, but are asked to volunteer forafter-school practices, or to volunteer for pep band, or volunteer for jazzband, or to show up for football games to perfonn at half-time.:Band students have to work the hardest in this class than any other, but are
not rewarded as such. During many a long marching band rehearsal, I haveheard others complain (and I myself complain, too) about the work, andtealized the band doesn't necessarily get the respect it deserves.
Ms. Tichnell realizes this and sees this upcoming band trip as a huge andlong overdue reward for the hard work from the band students, "As a classyou're doing more work," she said, adding no other class requires so muchafter-school commitment; there are concert~, practices, solos and ensembles.The trip to Florida, Ms. Tichnell explained, "is really good exposure for themtoo... it gets them out of the Thumb."
The cost to go is $1,091 per student, but if the band can get more than 80people to go, the price will drop. The band will host fundraisers throughoutthe year. Starting in March and April, members will have a cookie doughfUndraiser and a Little Caesar's Pizza fundraiser. Later on there will be cheesecake, bottle drive, car wash, and can drive fundraisers. Ms. T (as the bandrefers to her) has stated that the amount a student fundraises is "direct"there is no "pooling" the money raised and distributing evenly. If someone"busts their butt" fundraising, they deserve their fair share more than someone who doesn't do anything.This sort of trip is the kind of trip that the band has needed. It is in the best
of hope that this trip will unify the band and make them the family that theytruly are.
Cherie Oxender from Educational Tours agrees. "Travel brings the classroom curriculum alive, and inspires students to learn through first hand,interactive experiences," she said.

Regardless, teaching and music - acareer combination he decided onduring his high school years - aredefinitely going to playa major rolein Mallory's future."I guess it's an opportunity to work
with young people, which I alwaysenjoy, and work with them with mu~

pleased with both of their sons' driveand abilities, especially during a pe-

Throughout the battle, the boyshave been there for their father andat the same time have kept up theirstudies, according to Renee Mallory."He's (Dustin) been on the dean's list-last semester he was 4.0," she said."We're so proud of him."

a week during the fall semester, butthey've spent 3 or 4 days rehearsingin recent weeks .in preparation forThursday's concert.
In addition to the percussion ensemble, Mallory has performed withSVSU concert, jazz and symphonyensembles as well as the marchingband. He's also played guitar withsome independent groups, includinga jazz ensemble called D.S. and theFlat 5.As a music education major, Mallory
must be familiar with a wide varietyof musical instruments as well asteaching vocal music. "I really enjoyplaying flute," he said. "I was awfulat saxophone. Cello was fun, and Iplayed baritone in high school- I actually got pretty decent at that."Mallory is quick to acknowledge his
father's influence on his life. Bothfather and sons (Dustin's brother,Derrick, is an accounting major atEastern Michigan University) playguitar along with several other instruments.In his final year of school next year,
Mallory will complete the studentteaching element of his education.It's an atmosphere he's very familiarwith.

When caring for a loved one afflictedwith Alzheimer?s Disease, dementiaor physicallimitations,a caregiver'sgreatest concern is ensuring a safe environment while still making theirloved one feel important, capable andloved. It's a 24-hour a day job. Butwhat do you do as a caregiver whenyou simply can't be there?
In the Thumb area, Adult Day Services is available to fill that gap.Adult Day Services provides a safe,
caring place for older adults with dementia, Alzehimer's or physicallimitations to go while their caregiverstake that much needed time off. It'san opportunity for older adults to interact With others and enjoy activities such as physical exercise, musictherapy, memory exercises, and crafts.Participants receive quality care fromstaff that is trained to monitor healthand recognize the strengths, needsand interests of those dealing withdementia and other limitations.Adult Day Services (ADS) is oper
ated by the Human DevelopmentCommission (HDC) in Huron, Sanilacand Tuscola counties.
In Tuscola County, it is located inthe newly constructed GenerationsCenter in Caro. The only criteriontoutilize the program is that participantsmust be senior citizens being caredfor by caregivers and require someassistance to continue living in theirhome or the home ofa relative.
James Lewis, a program assistantwith ADS, noted that utilizing adultday services is much more cost effective than having in-home care.,"For some, in-home care can be costprohibitive," Lewis said. "This is anaffordable option to provide excellentcare for your loved one." He addedthat the center currently' has financialassistance available to help payfor the cost of care for those whoqualify. "We've secured some grantmoney to assist clients who may need
. help in paying for adult day services.There are a few stipulations, so anyone interested should contact us."The funding is limited so those whoare interested in financial supportshould contact staff as soon as possible.According to Jamie Reinke, another
program assistant at ADS, one of thebiggest advantages of the ADS program, outside ofproviding respite forcaregivers, is the focus on helpingclients retain memory skills."We do activities and exercises daily
to increase memory retention, and wedo them as a group," Reinke said."This helps slow the further development of dementia and also givesour clients the chance to socializewith others experiencing the samechallenges as they are."
For more information on the AdultDay Services program, call (989) 6722273.
-Define the rights of those who areincapacitated.
-Require a person who is grantedpower of attorney on behalf of a senior to sign a contract that details theperson's obligations and fiduciaryduties to act in the senior's best interest.
Adults age 60 and older accountedfor 69 percent of the victims ofadultmistreatment in Michigan in 200 I,according to the NCEA - an estimated 6,479 seniors. The investigations found that 70 percent ofall victims suffered neglect and 15 percentwere abused.
Brown said the tragic case of BadAxe native William Pickering showsthe degree to which people with badintentions can take advantage ofvulnerable seniors. Pickering was in his70s when he was befriended inFlorida by a woman named PearlWestmoreland. Over time, asPickering's Alzheimer's disease worsened, Westmoreland took control ofhis finances and stole almost$300,000 from him.
Thanks to the persistence ofPickering's nephew, Jim Pickering ofBad Axe, Westmoreland was convifted in Florida last year of 3 felonies, including one count of exploitation ofan elderly adult in an amountexceeding $100,000. Bill Pickeringdied a month before Westmorelandwas arrested; he was 78.
"Like Bill Pickering, too many seniors are taken advantage of bypeople who promise to take care ofthem as they grow more dependenton others," Brown said. "Fortunately,Jim Pickering fought to hold thiswoman accountable for exploiting hisuncle and he didn't stop until justicewas served. The Elder Financial Protection Act will help us identifY predators who are abusing our seniors andbring more of them to justice beforeit's too late."

Brown and Espinoza backplan to protect elderlyState Reps. Terry Brown (D-Pigeon)
and John Espinoza (D-Croswell) havethrown their support behind the Elder Financial Protection Act, a plan
,'that aims to shed light on the repre-hensible act ofelder abuse by cracking down on criminals who financiallyexploit seniors for their own gain.
"Needing to rely more on others ispart of growing older, but that also'makes us vulnerable to those who,would abuse that trust for their own,financial advantage," said Brown,who cited the recent case of a BadAxe native whose caretaker stole almost $300,000 from him. "This plancwill help prevent those heartbreakIng situations where a senior isswindled out of their life savings or'even abused or neglected so that arelative or another person can inherittheir money faster. We must take action to protect our seniors as muchis possible."iElder abuse ranges from abandon#nent and neglect to financial exploiiation to emotional, physical or5exual abuse. Caregiver neglect com~rises 20 percent of substantiated\Cports, according to a report fromfie National Center on Elder AbuseENCEA). Financial exploitation makestp 15 percent of elder abuse cases.:The Elder Financial Protection Act~ould:
~-Mak~ it mandatory for employeesMfinancial institutions to report sus~ected elder abuse.1-Require financial institutions to~ive joint accountholders a written~mmary oftheir rights.~Allow a third party to file a criminal
qomplaint on behalfofa victim ofelcfer abus~.
~ -Prohibit those convicted of elder~buse from inheriting from a victim'sestate, and create an Elder Death Review Team to investigate,suspiciousdeaths.
-Define financial exploitation as itrelates to the Michigan Social Welfare Act.

hearts ofa few people...about how tobetter reach and communicate to others who Jesus is and how much Heloves people," Sweeney said. "Now.in its fourth year running, Revive hasgrown as an outreach ministry to thecommunity of Cass City. "We believe that God loves people, has aplan and purpose for each of us, andwants to mold and shape us into thekind of people that He wants us tobe."Some people may be wondering why
the event is held at the high school."Admittedly, space is an issue for
an event this size, but one reason wedecided to hold it there is that wewanted this event to be communityfocused and be open to anybody thatwanted to attend for free," Sweeneyexplained.
"We are finding that some peoplewon't come through the doors of achurch, for various reasons, and besides that I believe as pastor that weneed to communicate to people thatthe church isn't a building anyway.Yes, we do need to meet somewhereand that is why we have our variousplaces of worship. But, the Biblemakes it very clear that people areGod's church, not a building."

New this year will be a communitypantry featuring gently used clothing, furniture, household items andnon-perishable food items, all donated and offered to the communityat no cost "It will be set up like agarage sale in the high school cafeteria, however, everything is free," explained church member Jaime Fritz."Our goal is to reach out into our community and meet people's needs."
Although this year's Revive won'tfeature organized services, the mission of the outreach is still to communicate to the community that Jesustransforms lives, said Sweeney, whois quick to note the effort is a community affair."Revive is mainly sponsored by and
led by a team ofpeople from the CassCity Missionary Church, (but) manybusinesses and individuals from thecommunity support Revive financiallyand through their own time, effortsand talents," he said."We want Revive to be the effort of
God's church reaching out to thecommunity, not just one local churchbody," he added.
"The idea of Revive started 4 or 5years ago as God burdened the
