KAYAKINGContinued from Page 1Byou’re a fisherman, to which Yerman sug-gests a stable sit-on-top kayak. Going out for the big waters, such as Lake Michigan, would call for a sturdier and larger kayak.How far do you plan to go? The length of your trip is also important when it comes to choosing the right kayak. If you are going for a short glide on the
water, any kayak will work. However, if you plan to spend some ample time out on the water, or even plan to camp out, you will want to make sure you have a kayak with some storage space for food, drinks, and possibly even some camping gear. Yerman suggests one with bulkheads, so your stuff is safe inside if you tip.Are you going alone? It’s OK to go solo, but you need to
remember that if you are alone you want a kayak that is easy to maneuver for just one person. Something heavy and bulky just isn’t going to work. If this will be your first trip out in a kayak you may not want to go alone, and you may want to choose a kayak style that is easily maneuverable. Someone who has been doing it for years is more open to a wider variety of kayak choices.
Where will you keep it and how will you transport it? If you have a larger vehicle with a rack on the top, you can easily strap down a kayak that is light enough to lift. If you don’t have a lot of room in your vehicle, or you plan to backpack, you can get a foldable kayak. There are many options, depending on your storage and transporta-tion needs.
The two most important decisions of your kayak purchase#1- Your life jacketYerman said that not just any life jacket will do. “It’s not just about the boat, you need a paddling jacket,” she said. Normal life jackets, like those used for regular boats or for skiing, are too bulky to allow you to fit comfortably in the seat of your kayak. A paddling jacket is also made with a different kind of armhole that allows more ma-neuverability for paddling.
#2- Your paddlesPaddle shopping is also an important step, according to Yerman, who said, “A cheaper paddle may be heavier and more bulky.” She recommends a two-piece paddle, and said that sometimes the pricier paddle will be the best option.

THE BARTON CREEK FOOTHILL AND CANYON GOLF CLUBAUSTIN, TEXAS This course is dotted with cliff-lined fairways, waterfalls and limestone caves. However, don’t let the beauty of the course fool you, it’s designed to offer golfers no lack of challenge.
$298per person,per round
THE OCEAN COURSEKIAWAH ISLAND, SOUTH CAROLINA This course was designed to let the wind have an immediate effect on the game, making it a challenge for starting and experienced golfers. Making it to the holes is a reward in itself, the course promises a great view of the Atlantic Ocean from any hole on the course.
$320per person,per round
TPC SAWGRASS JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA This course is said to be a true test of anyone’s golfing skills as it is de-vised not to favor any particular style of play. TPC Sawgrass usually hosts the ‘fifth major’ of each year.
$350per person,per round
THE PINEHURST COURSE NUMBER 2 PINEHURST, NORTH CAROLINA While the Pinehurst golf resort in North Carolina features eight unique courses, it’s the Number 2, the Num-ber 8 and the Number 4 courses that have been consistently ranked as among the best in the golfing world. The course has already hosted several major tournaments, including the 2014 US Open this past June.
$375per person,per round
WHISTLING STRAITSKOHLER, WISCONSIN Whistling Straits actually has two courses, the Straits Course and the Irish Course. The Straits Course, described as an ideal walking-only course, follows two miles of Lake Michigan shoreline; while the Irish Course is described as more challeng-ing with its layout of grassland and dunes made to look like Irish terrain. The name of the course takes after when the wind picks up, making the game a challenge for even the most experienced golfers in the world.
$300per person,per round
SPYGLASS HILLPEBBLE BEACH, CALIFORNIA First opening in 1966, Spyglass Hill takes its name from the legend that ‘Treasure Island’ author Robert Louis Stevenson once went there to gather ideas for his novel.

with a rugged coastline and a view of the Pacific Ocean in
Carmel Bay. Just don’t let the wind from the sea throw you off your game. De-signer Jack Neville placed many holes of the course

SHADOW CREEK GOLF COURSELAS VEGAS, NEVADA This 18-hole golf course, owned by casino mogul Steve Wynn and designed by Tom Fazio, opened in 1989. Laced with waterfalls and lakes, planted with more than 200 varieties of trees, it sits in a giant desert dug-out, a sunken swatch of land that Fazio created by moving more than 3 million cubic yards of earth to make sure the course is hidden from public view. So what does $500 get you? First up, you will be driven to and from the course in a limo. You will also get your own personal caddy for the round to guide you through each hole. Also, you can’t just pack up and go there as only invited guests of MGM Mirage re-sorts are allowed to play.
COURSE RECORD: Tiger Woods and Fred Couples (60)
SOME NAMES ON THE LOCKERS IN THE CLUBHOUSE: Include George Bush, Michael Jordan, John Elway, and Wilt Chamberlain
COURSE FEATURES: Lakes, waterfalls, rolling hillsides, more than 200 varieties of trees, flow-ing rock bed streams, rocky outcrop-pings and exotic birds
DURING CONSTRUCTION:Over three million cubic yards of dirt was dug up from the desert floor and pushed around the perimeter, creating a berm that blocked any view from the outside.

uYou can save big at home, dining out and traveling with these special tipsBy Sally [email protected]; 810-629-8282 You can keep more money in your wallet by being mindful of your spending habits. Whether you’re making cost-saving repairs at home or finding new ways to dine out on a dime, you can save cash with more care-ful spending. Here are a few suggestions, excerpted from AARP magazine.Home maintenance• Save $100 a year by using smart power strips that cut electricity to devices in standby mode.• Save 20 percent on energy to heat and cool a home when it’s well sealed and insulated.• Reverse your ceiling fan in the winter, so the fan will pull up cool air and send down the heated air that’s settled near the ceiling.Food• Use a slow cooker for cooking beef, as you can use cheaper cuts of beef and let them cook all day.• Learn to stir fry so you can use small amounts of meat and whatever’s left in your refrigerator.• Shop for produce in season, and buy from local farmers markets. Blanch vegetables and freeze herbs for later use.• Watch for deals on fresh foods, especially beef, chicken and pork, and freeze what you don’t use right away. Remove packaging, rewrap food in plastic wrap and place in freezer bag with date marked. Try to use within a couple months.Home décor• Decorate with a mix of high and low (prices) and old and new pieces. Place hand-me-down antiques next to something new, trendy and inexpensive.• Find the same rich colors offered by high-end paint companies for less by taking their chips to a hardware store that can match the color.Leisure time/vacations• Attend lectures and concerts at nearby colleges and universities. • Enjoy local community theater at a frac-tion of the cost of a big show in the city.• Check websites like broadwayforbroke-people.com, a guide to scoring great tickets for less than usual Ticketmaster prices.• For cheaper flights, book the earliest and latest flights of the day. • Head to ski resorts in the summer and beach locations in late August or early September. • Check out great deals at Disney World Resorts
Want to save money?
10 things Americans waste money on
1. Credit card interest — if you can’t afford it at its base price, you certainly can’t afford it with a huge interest rate added on to it.2. Deal websites — many people end up not using “the deal” they bought within the specified time limit.3. Appetizers — with restaurant por-tions so large to begin with, why pay more to eat more than you need?4. ATM fees — when you use a bank that is not your home bank, you get charged to get cash out. Then many banks charge you again. These fees add up.5. Overdraft fees — do your math, spend less than you make and you’ll never pay a dime of these fees.6. Speedy shipping — use standard shipping and learn patience to wait rather than pay extra for priority ship-ping.7. Designer baby clothes — new baby clothes with expensive labels will only get worn once or twice. Think garage sales and resale shops when clothing your little ones.8. Unused gym memberships — unlike the monthly commitment, the monthly dues don’t stop, so make sure it’s what you commit to do before you sign up.9. Premium cable channels — people don’t watch 90 percent of the channels that are on. 10. Daily coffee trips — people used to brew their own coffee themselves, and as a culture, we’ve gotten away from that. Look at how much money you dish out for that concoction over a month or two.

What’s that in your hand? In an article titled ‘His Eye is on the Sparrow,’ Jerry Jenkins, co-author of the best-selling ‘Left Behind,’ intro-duced his readers to Dameon Sharkey, a seventh-grader, whose compassion and faith should be an example to us all. Dameon’s teacher, Jeff Leeland, was going through the toughest time of his life. His son, Michael, had been diagnosed with Leukemia and without a bone marrow transplant wasn’t likely to survive. Michael’s 7-year-old sister, Amy, proved to be a perfect match but their insurance refused to cover the $200,000 cost. In the absence of insur-ance coverage, the hospital required a $175,000 deposit, an amount the Lee-lands didn’t have and couldn’t borrow. Then young Dameon got involved. Dameon told his mother he wanted to empty his savings account and give it all to save Michael’s life. When she called Jeff to tell him of Dameon’s desire, he tried to decline the offer but Dameon had made up his mind and be-fore long he was placing 12 crumpled $5 bills in his protesting teacher’s hand, an act of love and generosity that would catch on and save Michael’s life. When the news of Dameon’s gift became known, a fund was started at the school and within four weeks it had grown from Dameon’s $60 donation to $220,000. Amy donated her bone marrow and the operation proceeded. Michael survived the procedure and became cancer free.
Dameon wasn’t the first to give up what was in his hand and see it produce a miracle. Thousands of years earlier, Moses stood near a burning bush in the desert of Midian listening to a call to go to Egypt and lead his people out of slavery. Then this future great leader began to make excuses. ‘Who am I that I should go?’ he asked. ‘They will not believe me.’ ‘What is that in your hand?’ asked a voice from the fire. ‘A rod,’ Moses replied; his answer accentuating how little he had in his hand and how ill equipped he felt for the great task being assigned to him (Exodus 4:2). Yet Moses’s rod would later be called the rod of God. He would raise it and the Red Sea would open for his people to escape those who wanted to enslave them again (Exodus 14). He would strike a rock with that rod and refreshing water would flow in the desert to enable these former slaves to drink and keep moving forward. Centuries later, after the disciples of our Lord had run out of ideas about how to feed five thousand hungry people on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, an un-named boy gave up his meager lunch of fish and bread and saw it become enough to feed this hungry multitude and have 12 full baskets left over (John 6). We all have something in our hands to give. And there are too many needy people awaiting our help to keep what we have to ourselves; too many prob-lems to solve for us to hold back from helping; too many who need to know what it means to trust God and walk with Him every day to remain silent. What’s that in your hand? Are you willing to release it to make a difference?Roger Campbell is an author, a broadcaster and columnist who was a pastor for 22 years.

By Sally [email protected]; 810-629-8282 Joseph Bujak, 13, was on the young end of his age category competing last Saturday in the Michigan Idol compe-tition as part of the Music by the Bay Festival in New Baltimore. While he didn’t end up as a winner in the top three, he was pleased to have been a part of such a large competition, according to his mother, Chris Bujak. The Michigan Idol competition is the top venue in the state for vocal singing contests. Joseph, who will enter the eighth-grade at St. John Catholic School in Fenton, sang “I See Fire” by Sheeran. Locally, he sings with a band out of A Joyful Noise Music Studio in Fenton called What Remains. He competed in the 13- to 18-year-old category, after having been selected as one of 25 final-ists to compete following a contest in Mt. Clemens in July.

Fenton’s Denise Booher takes People’s Choice AwardBy Yvonne [email protected]; 810-433-6792 The Applewood Estate of the Charles Stewart Mott Families in Flint recently hosted “Wet Paint Day,” sponsored by the The Founders Society of the Flint Institute of Arts. The event was limited to 30 art-ists, and Denise Booher of Fenton took home the People’s Choice Award for her watercolor painting “Eternity.” “All the paintings were exceptional, I was very surprised and humbled to have won,” Booher said. “I was blessed it sold as well.” “I painted the La Brezza sculpture over-looking the flowers in the Demonstration
Garden,” she said. The painting competition was followed by a reception and sale at the FIA, where the works the artists did were available for sale. The prize for being the winner of the People’s Choice Award is a Solo Show at the FIA Founders Gallery in 2015.
ABOUT LA BREZZAIn Italian, “La Brezza” means “The Breeze,” which is an appropriate de-scription of this delicate sculpture that overlooks the beauty of the flowers in the Demonstration Garden at Apple-wood. You can almost see the air lift her arms higher and higher. She was purchased from Florentine Craftsmen, Inc. for Mrs. Mott’s 95th birthday by friends, staff and family.

Freedom Child Development Center Director Marla Hughes plays with a child on an outdoor play set at the center.
By Sally [email protected]; 810-629-8282 The Freedom Child Develop-ment Center in Fenton opened its doors last year, not knowing what to expect in enrollment. “The growth has been phenom-enal,” said Marla Hughes, C.D.A., director of the day care program. “We started out with just a small group of children, and ended the year with more than 50.” This licensed childcare center offers day care, preschool and latch key programs from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. for infants from 6 weeks old up to age 15. A half-day preschool for 4-year-olds is incorporated into the program. The center is a bus stop for Fenton schools, with before- and after-school childcare available.
Meals and snacks are provided for each child. Now accepting registration for this coming school year, the Free-dom Child Development Center is located inside The Freedom Center Church at 2473 West Shiawassee Ave. While enrollment is smaller in the summer, childcare is offered year ‘round. “Our program is hands-on,” said Hughes, who leads a staff of nine teachers and assistants. “We offer phonics, math, science, sign language, Spanish, computers, mu-sic and movement, art, Montessori Rug Work and more, in a Christian setting.” For more information, call (810) 714-2235 or visit their website at freedomchilddevelopmentcenter.com.

SUNDAY SCRAMBLERUnscramble the letters within each rectangle to form four ordinary words.
Then rearrange the boxed letters to form the mystery word, which will complete the gag!
Long-term marriage is lonely, lacks sparkDEAR AMY:I have been married for more than 20 years to a very nice man who is a good father. We generally get along, but we don’t have much of a romantic relationship. It has always been this way (at least since early dating). He works hard and is devoted to both his career and children, but I feel like our relationship is not that important. We have been to marriage counseling, but our issues were never resolved (at least to my satisfaction). I feel like we are friends but not lovers. As I get older, I wonder what will become of us and how I will deal with the loneliness as our children move away. Do you have any advice? — Friends Without Benefits
DEAR FRIENDS:To enjoy a companionable togetherness, you two have to spend time together. Simply put, you have more to talk about when you’ve done things together. Traveling, hiking, bike riding, going to concerts or working on a home project together are all positive places to start. Meanwhile, you should definitely continue with professional counseling on your own. Your loneliness could have deeper roots than your marriage alone.
DEAR AMY:Every year a friend generously offers her vacation cottage in a popular
beach town for all of her women friends to have a gathering. We are eight women in our 50s. We provide meals and gifts for the cottage, and
when we go out, we all very happily pay our friend’s share. My only issue is that at the end of our four- or five-day stay, she hands us a broom and vacuum and asks us to clean the cottage. Inevitably, we are on our hands and knees, finding items under beds and dust so thick that this has to be the only cleaning of the summer. We are seven menopausal women, sweating profusely, and some of us cannot bend
very easily. Meanwhile the owner is reading magazines on the couch! We obviously love the cottage and are happy to change sheets, etc., but I feel that she is taking advantage of us! Suggestions? — Cinderella and the Gang
DEAR CINDERELLA:Beach towns usually host a variety of professional cleaning services where you can hire cleaners for a vacation turnover. Let’s say this fee is $100 to $200. Split between seven of you, this would be a bargain, and you could kick back for one last beachfront brunch during the cleaning session. Even added to your other expenses, paying for cleaning would still be much cheaper than renting a cottage on your own.

DEAR DR. ROACH:For the past eight months, I have had a twitch in the inside of my right ear. I can hear it twitching, and I can feel it. It seems to get worse when I talk on the phone (it’s my phone ear), but sometimes I wake up with it twitching.It feels like when your eye twitches, only it’s inside my ear. I could liken the movement to a snapping of fingers. It’s more a vibration than a crunch. I do hear a sound when it happens, similar to when you get water plugging up your ear. So it plugs/unplugs with each twitch.I have gone to my general practitioner for help. He referred me to an ear specialist. They did a hearing test, which I passed with flying colors. Other than that, they didn’t have any solution to my problem. It is very bothersome and seems to be getting worse. I think it may be stress-related, but I don’t know what to do to
make it stop. Can you help me? — P.C.
ANSWER:This sounds like a spasm of one of the muscles that control the tension of the eardrum, the tensor tympani and stapedius muscles. These muscles protect our ears, to some extent, from loud noises. Just like you can have a spasm or twitch in your eye muscles -- or indeed any muscle -- these muscles cause a
unique sound sensation in the ear when they repeatedly twitch with high frequency. The plugging/unplugging sensation is likely the Eustachian tube, which controls the pressure in the ear, opening and closing.The bad news is that I don’t know of anything to make it stop. The good news is that it won’t affect your hearing. Very rarely, it can be a sign of a nerve or muscle disease, but it is likely a normal phenomenon that many people have but few notice
and articulate it as well as you have.
