The yearly two-time tour that first took

place this year on June 8-9 in the Spring is

back September 14-15 for the Fall tour. There

is no limit for the amount of riders for this

chance to pedal the areas scenic routes and

infamous Mackinac Bridge. Hundreds of

bike riders come from all over the Midwest,

making it a tradition, and gather at the

Mackinaw City High School early Saturday

morning. Bikers get to choose whether they

wish to ride on scenic routes inland or along

the lakeshore.

Bikers can choose from a 25, 50, 75 or 100

mile bike tour along the shores of Lake

Michigan. Depart times from the Mackinaw

City Recreation Center range between 7 am

and 10 am depending on your chosen route.

The registration fee includes the tour, and

takes place Friday, September 13th from 1

pm to 8 pm and Saturday, September 14th

from 7 am to 10 am.

For those concerned about direction, there

is no need to worry as safety wagons with

flashing lights and marked routes will be

present. Upon completion, riders will receive

a cookout-style lunch including hot dogs,

veggies, potato salad, potato chips and cook-

ies at the school pavilion. Sunday at 7 am

beginning at the Fort Michilimackinac park-

ing lot, any bikers over the age of 13 will get

to pedal one way across the Mackinac Bridge

to the Arnold Mackinac Island Ferry Dock in

St. Ignace and witness the beautiful sur-

roundings of the Straits of Mackinac. All rid-

ers will be transported back to Mackinaw

City and are required to wear helmets when

biking.

Beginning only twenty-one years ago in

1992, the Spring Bike Tour was created as a

recreation event for families to enjoy a

healthy, picturesque activity together. Just

two years later in the Fall of 1994, another

tour was added for bikers to

capture the views in a differ-

ent breathtaking season.

Each year this successful

bike ride wouldnt be possi-

ble if it werent for a commu-

nity of volunteers taking

time out to make it come

together. Different volun-

teers are required for food

and rest stop organization,

registration, cooking and

serving lunch, operators

throughout the ride, stop hosts,

sag vehicles and route supervisors, bridge

ridge directional and bridge safety vehicles.

Also a huge thanks goes out to the Mackinac

Bridge Authority, Arnold Transit Co., the

Mackinaw City Police and Dave Paquet.

Drive North to Mackinaw City this week-

end for one of the most breathtaking rides of

the season!

Bike Tour and Ride across the Mackinac

Bridge, visit the Mackinaw City Chamber of

Commerce at www.mackinawchamber.com.

At the Otsego County United Ways Day of

Caring on September 5, claims representatives

from Citizens Insurance Company rolled up their

sleeves to help Crossroads Industries, a non-profit

that serves people with disabilities. As the volun-

teers worked with members of Crossroads Garden

Club, empty spaces became a day lily garden,

wheelchair accessible raised beds, and a garden

tool shed. This is the first year that both Citizens

Insurance and Crossroads have participated in the

Otsego County United Way Day of Caring. This

event, which kicks off the United Ways annual

campaign, brings volunteers from different busi-

nesses to non-profit organizations for a day of

service.

Our company is very involved with the United

Way program through our home office in

Livingston County, said Gregory Zeffero, Property

Claims Unit Manager at Citizens Insurance

Company. Since we provide services in Northern

Michigan, we wanted an opportunity to give back

here too. Crossroads Industries garden is part of

its programming to provide opportunities for peo-

ple with disabilities to learn job and life skills. The

Garden Club is made up of individuals who are

interested in gardening.

This event was a wonderful experience for our

Garden Club, said Jessica Kane, Program

Manager at Crossroads Industries. The volun-

teers from Citizens Insurance were great friend-ly, hard-working, and patient. You could tell they

enjoy lending a hand and doing a good job. We are

so thankful for the time they gave us and for

United Way for creating these partnerships. For

way to symbolize what the Otsego County

United Way is about, executive director, JimAkans, emphasized at the Day of Caring

opening. We are about the people in our

county helping others within our county.

Through the donations and volunteer efforts

of individuals, businesses and organizations

in Otsego County, we are able to make a

huge difference in so many lives in our com-

munity each and every day of the year.

The Day of Caring event brought together

six teams representing local businesses and

organizations, and each team assisted alocal non-profit organization accomplish a

task during the morning. A team from the

Otsego County Judicial Systems helped with

sorting chores at the Habitat for Humanity

and also painted and cleaned up flower beds

near the entrance of the Otsego County

Food Pantry. Representatives from Hanover

Insurance Group built a tool shed for

Crossroads Industries, and members of the

Department of

Human Services

helped with mainte-

nance needs at the

Otsego Conservation

Districts Community

Gardens. A volunteer

team led by Linda

Kirkpatrick removed

shrubbery and over-

growth outside the

Headwaters Land

Conservancy, and a

team from Enervest

spent the morning at

Patriot Place creating

a pergola that will

grace the community

garden at this transi-

tional veterans hous-

ing complex.

Otsego County Volunteer Center director,Jennifer Russell, who spearheaded this years

Day of Caring event, states, We could not

have done this initiative without the gener-

ous support of our local volunteers and

agencies. I am truly excited about the

response we received this year, and hope to

build on this moving forward. Day of Caring

is truly a community event.

The Otsego County United Way has roots

that extend back to the Community Chest

campaign established in the late 1950s and

Community Fund, which was established in

1965. Today, in addition to three internal

United Way agencies; First Call for Help,

Volunteer Center and Retired Senior and

Volunteer Program (RSVP), the Otsego

United Way has a llocated funding in for spe-

cific programs at several non-profit organi-

zations, including Otsego Food Pantry,

Salvation Army, Child Welfare Alliance,

Catholic Human Services, Community

Mediation Services, Womens Resource

Center, Otsego Parks & Recreation, and the

Otsego County Judicial System. The Otsego

County United Way is also a major sponsor

of the recently launched 211-telephone sup-

port network that assists in connecting peo-

ple in need with people who can help.

The building blocks for the focus of the

Otsego County United Ways efforts are cen-

tered on three key areas: Education, Income

and Health. Annual allocations result from

local non-profit agencies presenting their

programs financial needs to Citizen Panels

comprised of individuals from the commu-

nity each February. The United Ways Board

of Directors finalizes those

allocation grant amounts in

April. The United Way has

set a 2014 campaign

fundraising goal of $185,000 the first time that goal rep-

resents an increase in sever-

al years.

tion, please call the Otsego

Goodwill Retail & Distribution

Centers in Petoskey and GaylordBy Jim AkansIt is a well-recognized name that symbol-

izes services and programs that provide a

means for people in need to get back on

their feet and regain their treasured inde-

pendence. Goodwill has been around since

1902, when a Boston area Methodist

Minister named Rev. Edgar Helms began col-

lecting used household goods and clothing,

and hired those who were down on their

luck to mend and repair those goods for

resale. Here in Northern Michigan, Goodwill

opened their doors at Asgard Enterprises in

1972, and today the non-profit organization

offers vocational, housing, transportation,

nutritional and family strengthening pro-grams across the region.

Goodwill also continues to offer gently

used clothing, household items, books,

home dcor accessories and more at their

Retail and Donation Centers. In our area,

centers are located in Petoskey and Gaylord,

employing a total of 34 people, utilizing pro-

ceeds from sales at each location to help

support programs throughout Northern

Michigan that help people overcome barriers

to independence.

Part of our business model is also being

green, observes Ruth Blick, Director of

Marketing and Communications for

Goodwill Industries of Northern Michigan.

Everything that is donated to our stores is

either reduced, reused or recycled. Items

that come in that dont meet quality stan-

dards go thru our salvage program. We are

also in partnership with Dell Reconnect and

we accept all types of computer equipmentand recycle those items. Many people dont

realize that a computer monitor can contain

up to a pound of lead. We are able to safely

recycle those units.

Goodwill also

recycles metal

items, card-

board, purses,

belts, shoes,

books and

clothing. The

gently used

items on the

sales floor fol-

low a rotation

model where

they are on dis-

play for four

weeks a regular

price, then

half-off for a

week, then

reduced per

item to 99-

cents for adult sizes and 49-cents for chil-

dren sizes, and those items are finally recy-

cled if not sold.

So there are always items at sale prices

when someone visits our store, observes

Ruth Blick. People want to see different

items on display when they visit us.

Thousands of items are regularly coming in

and going out of our stores.

Submitting items for donation is easy.

Each location has a drive up donation cen-

ter, open 7 days a week, and members of the

Goodwill team will happily unload items

from the donators vehicle.

The 6,000 square foot Goodwill Retail and

Donation Center at 1361 Pineview Drive in

Gaylord is open Monday through Saturday

from 9 am to 7 pm, and Sunday from 11am

until 6 pm. The 6,700 square foot Goodwill

Retail and Donation Center at 1600

Anderson Road in Petoskey is open Monday

through Saturday from 9 am to 8 pm, and

Sunday from 11am until 6 pm.

Have you recently received a pension

buyout offer? If so, you need to decide if

you should take the buyout, which

could provide you with a potentially

large lump sum, or continue accepting

your regular pension payments for the

rest of your life. Its a big decision.

Clearly, theres no one size fits allanswer your choice needs to be based

on your individual circumstances. So, as

you weigh your options, youll need to

consider a variety of key issues, includ-

ing the following:

Estate considerations Your pen-

sion payments generally end when you

and/or your spouse dies, which means

your children will get none of the

money. But if you were to roll the lump

sum into an Individual Retirement

Account (IRA), and you dont exhaust it

in your lifetime, you could still have

something to leave to your family mem-

bers.

Taxes If you take the lump sum

and roll the funds into your IRA, you

control how much youll be taxed and

when, based on the amounts you

choose to withdraw and the date you

begin taking withdrawals. (Keep in

mind, though, that you must start tak-

ing a designated minimum amount of

withdraw als from a tradition al IRA

when you reach age 70. Withdrawals

taken before age 59 are subject to

taxes and penalties.) But if you take a

pension, you may have less control over

your income taxes, which will be based

on your monthly payments.

Inflation You could easily spend

two or three decades in retirement

and during that time, inflation can real-

ly add up. To cite just one example, the

average cost of a new car was $7,983 in1982; 30 years later, that figure is

$30,748, according to TrueCar.com. If

your pension checks arent indexed for

inflation, they will lose purchasing

power over time. If you rolled over your

lump sum into an IRA, however, you

could put the money into investments

offering growth potential, keeping in

mind, of course, that there are no guar-

antees.

Cash flow If youre already receiv-

ing a monthly pension, and youre

spending every dollar you receive just to

meet your living expenses, you may be

better off by keeping your pension pay-

ments intact. If you took the lump sumand converted it into an IRA, you can

withdraw whatever amount you want

(as long as you meet the required mini-

mum distributions), but youll have to

avoid withdrawing so much that youll

eventually run out of money.

Confidence in future pension pay-

ments From time to time, companies

are forced to reduce their pension obli-

gations due to unforeseen circum-

stances. You may want to take this into

account as you decide whether to con-

tinue taking your monthly pension pay-

ments, but its an issue over which you

have no control. On the other hand,

once your lump

sum is in an IRA,

you have control

over both the

quality and diver-

sification of your

investment dol-

lars. However, the

trade-off is that

investing is sub-

ject to various

risks, including

loss of principal.

Before selecting

either the lump

sum or the

monthly pension

payments, weigh

all the factors

carefully to makesure your decision

fits into your over-

all financial strate-

gy. With a choice

of this impor-

tance, you will

probably want to

consult with your

financial and tax advisors. Ultimately,

you may find that this type of offer pres-

ents you with a great opportunity so

take the time to consider your options.

By Jim Akans

Autumn is a great time of year to spruce

up, touch up or even expand those livingspaces in the home. The expert team at JnJ

Construction, with over 22 years of experi-

ence in residential and commercial con-

struction is ready to help; offering clients an

ongoing commitment to the highest quality

of workmanship and service.

Founder Jim Jeffers passion for construc-

tion began when, at the mere age of seven,

he first picked up a hammer and began help-

ing his grandfather, Curt Jeffers pull nails on

the job site. Jim Jeffers continued to assist

his grandfather during summer breaks over

the next decade, learning the craft of home-

building, and landing his first job building a

backyard deck at the age of 17. A few years

later, in 1991, Jeffers obtained his builderslicense and founded JnJ Construction.

Since those beginnings, the JnJ

Construction team has built well over 100

homes ranging from 900 to over 10,000

square feet in size, and transformed hun-

dreds of existing residences through the

magic of home remodeling. The company

has also built or renovated several commer-

cial structures, including downtown Gaylord

storefronts, part of the towns new City Hall

building, Gaylord Schools, work on the

Gaylord Meijer store, area churches, and the

Montmorency Courthouse. Their clients are

from all walks of life, each drawn to JnJs rep-

utation of excellence in customer service

and expert workmanship.

One of JnJs early residential projects, a

major renovation of a classic Victorian style

home in Gaylord, was awarded First Runner-

up for a remodel/renovation in a Norandex

Corporation annual competition. The com-

pany has continued to remain on the leading

edge of building technologies over the years,

becoming an Energy Star Certified builder in

2008 and implementing many Green or sus-

tainable products and techniques in their

current projects.

Much of our success can be attributed to

the team of employees, local trades people

and suppliers I have worked with over the

years, relates Jeffers. Most have been with

me for at least ten years, and some since thevery beginning.

Jeffers notes he has observed some signifi-

cant changes in the homebuilding industry

over the years. The use of environmentally

friendly products has grown, such as insula-

tion, glues, laminated joists and beams

instead of solid timbers, and roof truss sys-

tems. Homes are much better insulated

today, partly because of changes in the

building code. Advances in technology, par-

ticularly the Internet, have allowed faster

and more accurate communications with the

homeowner. While material and labor prices

have increased over the years, todays low

interest rates and market corrections make

this an excellent time to build or remodel.

Jim Jeffers wife, Jennifer, handles the mar-

keting for the firm, and the husband and

wife team also own and operate JnJ Alpine

Auto Wash on M-32 West in Gaylord. The

couple has four children; Olivea, Kinzie,

Brody, and Kaylee.

We enjoy driving around the area and

looking at the many project my company

has had a hand in, Jeffers states. Working

with homeowners and helping them turn

their dreams into a final home product is

one of the most rewarding parts of my job. It

is very important to me that our past clients

know how thankful we are for the work, the

repeat work and f or all the great referrals. We

have become great friends with several of

our past clients over the years.

Jeffers also emphasizes that he expects his

company to be around for at least another

20 years, maintaining their commitment to

doing the highest quality job for each and

every customer. Its nice to know that some

things dont change.

September 12, 2013 Tell our adver tisers you saw their ad in the Weekly Choice Page 13


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.
