Every spring, each high schools
graduating class departs, finalizing
their transformation from adoles-
cence to adulthood - their hard work
and dedication has finally paid off.
As is true in all practices, there are
individuals who excel above and
beyond all others.
The Weekly Choice recognizes and
honors the select few earning the
title of class valedictorian, salutato-
rian, or senior scholar. In earning
such a title, it is evident that an indi-
vidual has not only been committed
to their studies, but has been pas-
sionate in their pursuit of a more
fulfilling experience in this life.
We applaud each and every gradu-
ating student, and wish him or her
the best in their future endeavors.
Please Note: This is part one of a
two-part article. If your school is not

who will? I was once told no matter what
the outcome of the fight, win or lose, if you

work your hardest and have no regrets, you
can accomplish anything you want in life.
Do your best and get what you want out of
your life. Good luck to everyone and I will
miss you all.

The 2013 Otsego County Relay For Life
event will take place this coming Saturday
and Sunday, June 1st and 2nd, at the Otsego
County Fairgrounds. This is the 19th year this
event has taken place, and as of press time,30 teams comprised of approximately 153
participants are scheduled to start walking at
the Otsego Fairgrounds on Saturday morning
after an Opening Ceremony at 10 am, contin-
ue through the night, and finish on Sunday
morning when a Remembering Ceremony
will be held.
The Relay For Life is held overnight as indi-
viduals and teams camp out at the Otsego
County Fairgrounds, with the goal of keeping
at least one team member on the track a t all
times to signify that cancer never sleeps.
Teams do most of their fundraising prior to
the event, but some teams also hold creative
fundraisers at their campsites during the
Relay.
The Opening Ceremony at 10 am on
Saturday starts the event with an energetic
celebration of the lives of those who havebattled with cancer, inspiring others by sha r-
ing their recent accomplishments and strides,
while reminding all that fighting cancer is a
year-round priority. The first lap in the relay
will be the Survivors Lap, where all cancer
survivors in attendance will take to the track
cheered on by the other participants in cele-
bration of their victories over the disease. A
Caregivers Lap will also take place, which
includes anyone who has cared for or is car-
ing for someone with cancer.
A Fight Back Ceremony will be held at 1
pm; an affirmation of the commitment par-
ticipants make in battling cancer each day of
the year. The Luminaria Ceremony at Relay
takes place at dusk, which is around 9 pm,
honoring the communitys cancer survivors
and remembering those lost to the disease.
Participants will circle a track that is sur-
rounded with glowing luminaria that bears
the name of someone who has battled can-
cer.
Relay for Life events across the country
help to raise awareness of the ongoing battle
against cancer, a disease that according to the
American Cancer Society will bring an esti-
mated 1,660,290 new cases diagnosed this
year alone, with over 580,000 Americans pro-
jected to pass away from cancer in 2013 or
nearly 1,600 people a day. To become
involved with a Relay For Life event, call 1-

This month, the Dow Jones Industrial
Average hit a milestone, when, for the
first time, it closed above 15,000. Of
course, 15,000 is a nice, round number,
and it sounds pretty big but whatdoes it mean to you, as an individual
investor? Is it cause for celebration or
is it more of a caution flag?
Theres no one simple answer to these
questions. Since March 2009 the low
point of the market following the 2008
financial crisis the Dow has risen
about 130 percent. And while the Dow is
just one index, its nonethele ss an
important measure of the markets per-
formance which means that you were
likely glad to see the 15,000 mark
eclipsed and youd be happy if the num-
bers just kept rising.
However, as youre no doubt aware,
the market does not move in just one
direction. Typically, declines of 10% ormore or corrections occur aboutonce a year. Unfortunately, they're notpredictable. Sooner or later, the mar-
kets will indeed change course, at leastfor the short term. When this happens,dont panic corrections are a normalpart of the market cycle. Still, you mightfeel like you should do something tocope with the downturn. But what?
Here are a few suggestions: Keep investing Too many people,
when faced with a market drop, decideto cut their losses and take a timeout from investing. But that can be acostly mistake had these investorsbailed out of the market in 2009, andonly recently returned, they would havemissed a substantial part of that 130percent run-up in the Dow. And when
you invest in a down market, your dol-lars may actuallygo farther if the
market rebounds,because you
would havebought moreshares at the lowerprices.
Review yourportfolio Itsusually a goodidea to review
your portfol io atleast once a year,and it may beespecially impor-tant during thosetimes when themarket changesdirections. Overtime, a portfolio
can becomeunbalanced forexample, follow-ing a long periodof rising prices,some of yourgrowth-orientedinvestments mayhave gained somuch value that
they now take up a larger percentage of
your holdings than you had intended,
possibly subjecting you to a greater level
of risk than you desire. If this happens,
you may need to scale back on theseinvestments and reallocate the money
elsewhere.
Diversify Always look for ways to
spread your dollars among a range of
vehicles stocks, bonds, government
securities, certificates of deposit (CDs)
and other investments. Even within
these classes, look for ways to diversify
further, such as owning different types
of stocks, bonds of varying maturities,
and so on. Diversification cant guaran-
tee a profit or protect against a loss, but
it can help reduce the impact of volatili-
ty that can occur in a downturn.
The Dow at 15,000 is certainly no
minor event. And since stocks don't
appear too expensive compared to their
earnings, don't be surprised if highermilestones follow. But record highs can
be quickly forgotten when the market
falls. By being prepared for that day, too,
you can help yourself continue to work
toward your goals even when the
major market indices have, for the
moment, taken a wrong turn.

Grab a camera and visit some of the great
local farms, farmers markets and diningtables this summer! Petoskey-Harbor
Springs Area Community Foundation,
Crooked Tree Arts Center, and Institute for
Sustainable Living Art and Natural Design
(ISLAND) announce a call for artists for the
second annual juried photo contest and
exhibition, Farm to Frame: Good Food, Good
Neighbors.
Encouraging greater awareness of the ben-
efits of local farming and locally-grown food
here in northern Michigan, this years Farm
to Frame exhibit will showcase the beauty of
small farms, farmers and local foods through
three different categories of entry: (1) local
food production (from the farm), local
food sales (from the markets), and local
food preparation and presentation (from
the table). All photographs must have been
taken in Emmet or Charlevoix counties and
must not have been previously exhibited at
Crooked Tree Arts Center. Jury selected pho-
tographs will hang in an exhibition at
Crooked Tree Arts Centers Atrium Galleryand will travel to several other venues
around Charlevoix and Emmett counties.
Winners will be announced and prizes
awarded at the opening reception, October
22, 2013, during Local Food and Farm week.
Photographs can highlight any portion of
the growing cycle, including the places and
people the food comes from. Last years
exhibit was a mouth-watering reflection of
local foods. This year, we are hoping pho-
tographers will capture the essence of where
and how our food comes to us. Including
the land, the buildings, and the people that
make it all possible, shares Crooked Tree
Arts Center Program Director, Valerie St.Pierre Smith.
To allow photographers to take advantage
of the various stages of the growing season
and farm markets submissions will be
accepted June 1st through September 12th,
2013. Eligible contestants
can submit in one of two age
groups: 18 and under or
amateur/professional pho-
tographers with no age
restrictions. There are no
residencies requirements for
participating photographers;
however there are size
restrictions for submissions.

Id like to remind all students that this is a family event
and we expect them to behave themselves accordingly. stat-

but also serve as role models to younger students and the
community.
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, this event is a
great, inexpensive way for families to celebrate the beginning
of the summer vacation said fellow organizer Mike
Freymuth. He estimates last year over 2,000 pieces of pizza
and 2,500 ice creams/snow cones were served. Its amazing
to see downtown Gaylord filled with so many families having
a great time. We hope even more families can join us this

Located just far enough off the
beaten path to embrace a gorgeous,
peaceful wooded setting, yet only
about ten minutes from downtownGaylord, Michaywe Inn the Woods
restaurant provides the perfect spot
to enjoy a delicious dining experi-
ence that is both comfortably casual,
and memorably elegant.
The menu offers a moderately
priced and nicely varied selection of
traditional American cuisine, high-
lighted by freshly prepared soups
and salads, specialty sandwiches
and burgers, house favorites includ-
ing New York Strip steak, hearty Beef
Pot Roast, Danish Baby Back Ribs,
Lake Superior Whitefish, Sole Picattaand more. The restaurant also offers
lighter fare, including Homemade
Pizzas and a selection of tasty appe-
tizers such as Scallop Florentine,
Garlic Shrimp Bruschetta and
Boneless Buffalo Wings.
Chef John Kaye, who learned his
culinary craft at Oakland
Community College and appren-
ticed at the prestigious Orchard Lake
Country Club, oversees the kitchen
at Michaywe Inn the Woods, and
has accumulated over 25 years of
experience as a chef in leadingnorthern Michigan area resorts and
downstate country clubs.
He states, We take a food-first
approach here at Michaywe Inn the
Woods. Flavors, textures, seasonings
and freshness are our priorities. We
purchase as many of our ingredients
locally as possible, and we even have
our own herb garden right here on
the grounds. We believe that the lit-
tle details make the difference for
our guests.
The Michaywe Inn the Woods set-ting is simply superb, with a wall of
windows along two sides of the main
dining area beautifully capturing the
views of the surrounding wood-
lands, the graceful walking bridge
arching over Lake Michaywe, and
the open fairways of the Pines Golf
Course.
Outside dining is available, as are
two large banquet rooms; the
Terrace Room, which accesses a
huge outdoor deck overlooking the
lake, and the Bridgeview, room with
a vista that frames the walking
bridge across the lake. Each of the
large facilities are utilized regularly
for wedding receptions, rehearsal
dinners and business or organiza-tional meetings and gatherings.
Michaywe Inn the Woods also fea-
tures a separate cocktail lounge area
with a full selection of wines, beers
and spirits and flat screen televi-
sions strategically placed for optimal
guest viewing.
Michaywe Inn the Woods is open
year round with the exception of a
two-week period in early April for
spring-cleaning. Summer hours of
operation are Monday through
Thursday, 4 pm until 9 pm, Friday 4
pm until 10 pm, Saturday noon until10 pm, and Sunday from noon until
9 pm.
We offer monthly menu specials
throughout the summer season,
notes Jeff Schneider, Food &
Beverage Director, who has over 22
years of experience in the restaurant
industry. We also offer half-orders
on most of our menu selections for
those who prefer downsized por-
tions.
Michaywe Inn the Woods offers a
truly unique dining experience in a
beautiful northern Michigan set-
ting, Schneider adds. We firmly
believe that after visiting us the first
time, guests will return again and
again.

tact Michaywe Inn the Woods at

Choosing a locally owned store
generates almost four times asmuch 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 andseven 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 52percent 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.

Crooked Tree Arts Center School of Ballet
will be performing The Trumpet of the
Swan on Friday, June 7th at 7:00 pm and
Saturday, June 8th at 1:00 & 7:00 pm at the
Harbor Springs Performing Arts Center.Dance Instructor, Karrie Benedict and
Director of Dance, Heather Raue decided on
the story of E.B. Whites The Trumpet of the
Swan back in January, and began rehearsals
shortly after. The story is a tale of Louis, a
young swan who is born mute. As the story
unfolds he is presented with a trumpet
stolen by his father, in the hope it will unlock
his silence. In mastering the instrument
Louis finds his unique voice, redemption for
his dear father, and eventually true love.
This will be the fourth original full-length
ballet in which Benedict and Raue have
incorporated the entire School of Ballet, ages
4 to pre-professional. Crooked Tree Arts
Center (CTAC) School of Ballet past ballets
include; Alice in Wonderland (2010), Peter
Pan (2011) and The Wizard of Oz (2012).
There are a total of 160 male and f emale
dancers in The Trumpet of the Swan that
train at CTAC year-round. They are all chore-
ographed and directed by Benedict and
Raue. Our students have worked very close-
ly with one another mentoring, inspiring and
learning from each other a true communi-
ty. says Raue. This p erformance is diverse
both choreographically and musically. There
are classical ballet selections, modern dance,
contemporary ballet and jazz.
In particular the principal dancers have
been an integral part of the shows creative
process. Not only have they rehearsed every
weekend since January to become the char-
acters Benedict and Raue are recreating,
they have assisted with the instruction of the
lower level classes, assisted with choreogra-
phy, and helped with costuming and scoring
of music. All of our hard work and hours are
definitely paying off, Taylor Naturkas, a pre-
professional dancer explained. Everyone
needs to come see the show!
CTAC School of Ballet will be accompa-
nied live by local pianist, Charles Millard and
Kalamazoo trumpeter, Michael McMinn.
Musical selections rangefrom Penguin Caf Orchestra
to Thelonious Monk to Parov
Stelar. Along with all the live
music rehearsals for the
show, thousands of hours
have gone into the hundreds
of costumes and props for
this ballet. All of the props,
sets, and costumes have
been designed and created
by a small group of highly
talented and dedicated arti-
sans. We are so fortunate to
have such amazing people
share their gifts and time
with us, people that are
tremendous supporters of
the program and believe in
the future of our dancers.
says Raue.
Each year Benedict and
Raue approach a different
artist to create an original
piece that will represent the
ballet. This year Petoskey artist, Katie Brines,
created a tremendous multimedia piece that
will be up for silent auction during the per-
formances.
Tickets are $10 adults/$5 students/$20
Reserved and are available at Crooked Tree
Arts Center and at crookedtree.org under
events. For more information, contact the
Arts Center at (231) 347-4337 or

Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer.
After the long winter months, we are all eager to get out-side and enjoy the sunshine. It isn't surprising that May
is skin cancer awareness month. Skin cancer is the
most common form of cancer in the United States. One
in five Americans will develop risk cancer in their life-
times. More than two million Americans develop skin
cancer annually. Knowing your risk of skin cancer and
knowing how to help prevent
Know your risk. Your risk of skin cancer is greatly
influenced by your genetic disposition and your reac-
tion to sun exposure. Take the quiz at the end of this
article to determine your risk. Add your totals for
genetic disposition and reaction to sun exposure to find
your Fitzpatrick Skin Type. The higher your number the
lower your risk.
If your total is 0-6, your skin is type I. A point value of
7-12 represents type II You typically burn following sun
exposure, leaving you at high risk for skin cancers. .
The recommendations for risk reduction are similar for
both types. To reduce your risk, use sunscreen with a
SPF rating of 30 or higher, and stay in the shade when
you are outside. Check your skin monthly, head to toe,
for unusual growths. Have your skin professionally
checked annually.
A point total of 13-16 indicates skin type III. Type IV
is a score between 19 and 24. These types are at slight-
ly reduced risk for skin cancer. The recommendations
for these skin types, that tend to tan more easily and are
less likely to burn is to use a sunscreen with an SPF of15+ and to seek shade when outside during periods
with the strongest sunlight, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Check your
skin monthly and have a professionally skin check
annually.
Fitzpatrick Skin Type V, 25-30 points, and Type VI, 31
points or higher, tan easily and rarely burn. However, it
is still recommended that darker skin persons use sun-
screen with an SPF of 15+ daily and check their skin
monthly as well as having an annual professional skin
check. Skin of this type is at risk for a very virulent form
of skin cancer, which is often detected in advanced
stages. It is more likely to appear on skin that is not reg-
ularly exposed to the sun, like the bottoms of feet.
What to look for? In general, in your monthly skinchecks look for changes in your skin. The lesions differ
by the type of skin cancer. They might be elevated,
rough feeling and appear as warts. The most common
type of skin cancer, Basal Cell Carcinoma, can present
as an open sore that lasts for a few weeks, heals and
bleeds again. Something as subtle as a reddish, itchy
patch can signal skin cancer. Also, an area that appears
as a scar could represent skin cancer. It is important, if
you notice a change in your skin, to consult your doctor.
Skin cancer that is caught early is very treatable.
Treatment often involves removing the growth. The
sooner the growth is removed, the less the impact on
your skin and your life.
