After careful consideration and discussions with her family, Van Auken decided to submit her resume. She said she remembers thinking she'd done an all right job on the in- terview, but wasn't fully expecting to get the job. Needless to say, the li- brary board offered her the job that she still holds today. As library director, one of Van Auken's main responsibilities is the financial aspect of the library. When Van Auken first started as the direc- tor, the library's previous millage was about to end and she needed to go to the public and ask them to sup- port it again. "The first thing I had to do was go to the public and tell them please turn to page 3 to ensure safety for children riding in cars. "People can drive up and the police will check to see if they're (car seats) installed properly. If they deem them not safe, people will get their car seats replaced free of charge, Last year we had about 30 to 35 cars come through and we ended up re- placing over a third of the car seats,", Mulligan said. Mulligan said the most important part of Summer Mania is to give people a chance to have fun and ex- plore downtown Cass City at no cost "A lot of people in Michigan, and our own area, are struggling right now. It's a generous gift where kids can play and not have to worry about the cost," she said. Mulligan added that it is a good chance for parents to let their kids have whatever they want. "They don't have to say 'no'," she added. Things like face-painting, cotton candy, sno-cones and the in- flatable activities are free, so parents won't need to put a limit on what their children can get or do, Mulligan said. "Last year we gave away over 1,600 sno-cones and over 1,000 bags of cotton candy," she said. Mania is a good way to give people a chance to see the different businesses in the area and hopefully come back to them 'iI t other times than Summer Mania.

There will be 5 big inflatable activities for children, free food and food vendors, a car show, music, car seat safety checks, garage sales, a book sale and more. Mulligan said that many busi- nesses will have special things go- ing on either inside the business or on the sidewalk in front. The inflat- able activities will be available all day in the Rotary Park, but many of the other parts of the event will take place for a few hours at a time.

According to Peter Cristiano, village manager, the operation would start out as a milk condensory in which water and unwanted components are removed from the milk to reduce weight and cut the cost of moving the product. DFA officials have indi- cated their long-range plans will in- volve additional phases of operation.

They know exactly whatthey're doing. I don't think of it as 'supervising - we're all in this together. They're the front lines," she,said.
Van Auken said she loves her jobbecause of the people she gets towork with and the different things she
and programs. The Rawson Memorial Library tries to provide as manyservices to the community as possible. "We wear many hats. We tryto do everything," Van Auken said.She said that many times people willcome in and need to use a computer,but not know how. The librarians arewilling to help peoplt? with anythingthey need, she said.For anyone who has not been to the
Rawson Memorial Library, the friendliness and helpfulness of the librarystaffcan make anyone feel welcome.The library won the State Librarian'sAward of Excellence in 2007 for itsQutstanding service. The award isonly given out to one library in thestate each year, VanAuken said. "It'snice to get recognition for the staff,"she said. Along with an award, thelibrary also received $5,000 to spendanywhere in the library. The moneywill be used to create a counter forpeople to bring in laptops and usewireless Internet.

Both millagesended up getting passed and VanAuken said she is very grateful tothe community for the support theyhave given the library the entire timeshe's been there. "We are so fortunate that our communities think ofus to pass millages."
Most of the library's money comesfrom millages, donations and statefunding. VanAuken said that moneyis used for a variety ofdifferent thingsincluding library improvements andpr6g'ratl'ts.

The key tokeeping programs successful is toknow how often to do them. VanAuken said some programs shouldnot be done every year becausepeople can get bored wjth them.Awhile back, the library did renova-

EAGLE SCOUT Joe Rule and his dad, Mike Rule, measure the concrete fo'tindation for one of the memorial stones at Cass City High School. Renovation ofthe stones and plaques was the focus of Rule's Eagle project, one of the finalsteps in earning Boy Scouting's highest rank.
I ,
Another EagleRule fourth local scout to earn rank:
Ifthe past 12 months are any indication ofwhat Joe Rule can accomplish,the Cass City area resident can lookforward to a very success freshmanyear in college.Rule, 17, the son ofMike and Becky
Rule, made a name for himselfearlierthis year when he representedTuscola County at the Business Professionals ofAmerica (BPA) NationalLeadership Conference and Competitions held last May, competing inthe Digital Media Production andComputer Security Concepts events.
Last week, Rule appeared before aThumb District Boy Scouts ofAmerica Board ofReview in BadAxe,and he walked away with the highestrank in Boy Scouting - the Eagle.
"Probably right when I joined BoyScouts in 2001, I had planned to goall the way to Eagle Scout," Rule recalled last week. "I liked the challenge, and from what other peoplesaid, it was a prestigious thing to get.I wanted to accomplish it."
The Eagle rank is not only prestigious, but awarded only to a selectnumber of young men. Establishedin 1912, the rank had been awardedto 1,835,410Boy Scouts at the end of2005, or about 2 percent of the BoyScout membership since 1911. Today, officials estimate that roughly 5percent of scouts earn the rank ofEagle.The numbers are impressive locally.
In fact, Boy Scout Troop '594, CassCity, expects to tum out a whopping4 Eagle Scouts this year out ofa membership of about 22 youths.
"They kind of go in streaks. (Butwe've got) a bunch of them - they goback as far as 1940, I believe," saidTroop 594 Scoutmaster Jim Baker,who earned the Eagle rank himselfback in 1978.
Baker noted Rule and Adam Kranzare both confirmed Eagle Scouts,while 2 other troop members - Thomas LeValley and Tommy Brinkman expect to complete their requirementswithin the next 6 months. "So, thatwould be 4, all ofwhich are outstanding scouts, all ofthem," he said. "Absolutely."Rule's journey to the Eagle rank be
gan when he was just 6 years old,when hejoined the Cub Scouts. "My dad wasa Cub Scout when he was young. Ijust decided to check it out and I stuckwith it," he said. "It's been 10ts oflearning - learning about the outdoors, learnil38 leadership skills."
Those leadership skills were put tothe test when Rule began planninghis Eagle project - a community service-related requirement to earn therank -lastAugust. The task involvedselecting a project, detailing the tasksinvolved (cost, tools needed,fundraising, etc.) and organizing acrew of volunteers to make it happen.Rule decided to revamp several me
morial stones at Cass City HighSchool. The stones, each set undera tree, honor the memories ofseveralformer Cass Citystudents and staff, including AlisonEmmert, Cory Merz and Ryan Storm,Nathan Weippert, Larry Steely andNancy Weippert."I wanted to stay at the high school

decided to restore the carriage. Theyreceived about $5,000 from the PinneyFoundation to do the repairs, Jackson said. "The restorations weredone byAI and Sue Vanslyke ofIrons,Michigan. It was such an unusualfind that they did it in about 9months," Jackson said. However,there are lanterns that go with thecarriage and those took longer to repair. "The lanterns part was done inMontana. It took about 15 months,':Ware added. The whole process tookabout 2 years to get the carriage looking how it does today.The carriage was recently displayed
in the Cass City Freedom Festivalparade on July 5. Jackson said it isone of the Historical Society's goalsto show history like the carriage in abig setting. "It's when we can showit off," Ware said of putting the carriage in the parade.
Ware volunteered to get horses topull the carriage in the parade. Thehorses used were haflinger horses,owned by Darl DumawofBadAxe."My role was to find people to rideand get costumes," JacksQn said.She said the Historical Societywanted Cass City historian Jack Esauto ride because he was the founderand longtime president of the society. Jackson also got one of Esau'sgranddaughters to ride with a friend.She had a few other children ride inthe carriage for the parade as well."Four of the young people involvedwere descendents ofStriffier's," Jackson said.
The carriage can now be found atthe Octagon Barn in Gagetown.
Ware said. ,"The carriage was given to us (the
Historical Society) by EleanorDillman," Ware said. Historical Society President Katie Jackson saidDillman's motner, Ida Nique, was thedaughter ofStriffler. Striffler movedto Cass City in 1880, Ware said. Hewas the nephew of one of the firstmen to ever come to the area. Strifflerwas at one time the president of thevillage and was quite involved in farming and related events.
Jackson said the carriage has beenin the Fourth of July parades in yearspast, but has not appeared for about8 or 9 years. "We stopped putting itin after it had been damaged," shesaid. She said the carriage lookedlike either dogs or raccoons had gotten into the carriage and damaged theupholstery. "We knew ifwe ever wereto use it again, we had to do something," she said.

After animal damage, wear and tearand time, the Cass City HistoricalSociety decided it was time to restore~ carriage that has been in Cass CityJor almost 100 years.'.'Jim Ware ofthe Cass City Historical',Society said the carriage came to Cass:\=ity through Jake Striffler around1910. Ware said the carriage origiJ;lally belonged to a friend ofStriffler's
,who lived in Buffalo, New York.'Striffler's friend had purchased a ve'hicle from Michigan and gave Striffler'the carriage in return for his help ingetting the vehicle to Buffalo.
Ware said the carriage was namedHie Park Phaethon. The "Park" por',hon of the name came because Lordsand Ladies in London enjoyed riding-carriages through parks. He added-that the "Phaethon" name means "the~hining one" in Greek mythology. "It'was a carriage ofroyalty at the time,"1::

God saw you getting tired,When a cure was not to be,So He put His arms around you,And whispered, "Come withMe."

Brown plan now a lawAplan proposed by State Rep. Terry
Brown (D-Pigeon) to allowMichigan's vital electric co-ops toself-regulate was signed into law recently, with Mike Krause, generalmanager ofThumb Electric Cooperative,joining Brown for a bill-signingceremony at the state Capitol."The not-for-profit electric coopera
tive system has been providing reliable, affordable power to homes,farms and businesses across ourstate for decades," Brown said. "Nowco-ops can choose to regulate themselves so they can cut costs and re
,spond quickly to changing marketconditions and adjust their rates. Coops will pass the savings on to theirmembers - putting more money in thepockets of hundreds of thousands
of Michigan's working families at atime when they need it most."Currently, the state requires co-ops
tp go through a cumbersome andtime-consuming process when theyneed to make necessary adjustments.Brown's plan brings Michigan in linewith other states that let electric co':
.ops regulate themselves if theychoose. By doing so, they can operate more efficiently and avoid wasting time tied up in bureaucratic redtape.
More than 700,000 Michigan residents in rural areas belong to an electric co-op and rely on it for the reliable delivery of affordable electricity. In addition to providing cost-efficient service, electric co-ops are
leading the way in the emerging renewable energy industry that is fueling much-needed economic development in the Thumb.
Brown's plan protects members,'rights by spelling out the rules thatcooperatives' leaders must follow, Itkeeps oversight for safety, interConnection and other issues with theMichigan Public Service Commission.'This legislation gives Thumb Elec
tric Cooperative and the 8 otherMichigan rural electric cooperativesan opportunity to choose how bestto manage our electric cooperativesto the benefit of our members intoday's volatile energy world,"Krause said.

Counties inThumb' partof designation
In a continuing effort to assist theagricultural industry in Michigan, theFarm Service Agency (FSA) announced the designation of60 counties in Michigan, including Tuscola,Huron and Sanilac, as agriculturaldisaster areas, making farmers inthose regions immediately eligible forUSDAIFSA physical loss emergencyloans.The counties have been designated
as a natural disaster area due tostorms with tornadoes, hail, and highwinds that occurred June 6 throughJune 15.
Nancy Dietz, Michigan's state executive director said "this assistancewill go a long way in aiding farmersdevastated by this weather event.""We will continue to implement every available USDA program to as- 'sist farmers through this difficult condition."
This designation makes qualifiedfarm operators in primary and contiguous disa,Ster counties eligible forlow-interest physicalloss EM loansfrom th'e Farm Service Agency, provided eligibility requirements are met.Farmers in eligible counties have until Feb. 25, 2009, to apply for the loansto help cover part of their losses.
FSA will consider each loan application on its own merit, taking intoaccount the extent of loss, ability toobtain other credit, security availableand repayment ability,Dietz stated the FSA will do its part
to mobilize resources to help thosefarmers most affected by this fall'sweather conditions.
