Stage play brings area

familiestogether

Christmas is certainly a time when mostpeople gather with family and friends for fun

and frivolity. It’s just a given nowadays. Fami-lies look for creative ways to enjoy the tidingsof the season. Some volunteer their time at asoup kitchen, some might wander their neigh-borhood streets singing Christmas carols andsome might hop in the car one evening anddrive miles just to look at thousands of Christ-mas lights.

But, for a small group of people in northernKent County, they’ve chosen to celebrate theirChristmas holidays by taking to the stage. Thecast and crew of “The Christmas Carol”, whichnumbers well over 40, is comprised largely of people who just happen to be related to eachother.

The production director boasts that it’struly a family affair.

“It’s wonderful to see so many families in-

olved in such a fashion,” said Terri Riggle,roduction stage director. “They’re having funnd spending a lot of time together in a worth-hile project.”

Ebenezer Scrooge, is played by Rockford’sirgil Hubbard, and his wife, Kathleen, who’saking her acting debut on the Kent Theatre

tage, is playing the wife of the character Fred,crooge’s nephew. Cedar Springs resident Russole, who’s Bob Cratchit, is also given singingirection under the guidance of his wife Carol-e, who’s the production’s music director, andaura Johnson, who plays Christmas Present,lso enjoys being on stage with her son, Tom,ho plays Young Scrooge.

And the list continues. There are twoother and daughter combinations, Judy andreAnna Schulz of Howard City and Eva Wal-

ers and her daughter, Mystic also from How-rd City. Then there’s the Price family, all fromedar Springs, who have four out of their veembers involved in the play. Jon, the father,

s playing dual roles of Mr. Fezziwig and thehost of Christmas Future, his wife, Tammy,

s Mrs. Fezziwig, son Jordan is Dick Wilkins

num & Co. on Saturday, December 3. Inaddition to the featured artist, there willalso be a pre-show by the Zellie’s Opry House Band. Two bands for the low priceof $5.

Although a Detroit native, Bill Bynum’smusical roots are in the South. His par-ents migrated from Black Oak, Arkansasto work in Detroit’s steel industry in the1940s, bringing—like many others—theirlove for country and bluegrass music.

Bill is a rst-prize winner in the MetroDetroit Songwriting Showcase with hissong “Lovin’ You.” He has collaboratedwith legendary Pete Goble and Goble ac-knowledges, “Bill is an excellent songwrit-

er. He’s got a delivery of a song that makesyou feel the song’s telling you somethingwhich is unique.” Local performer, Terry Winright says it best, “Bill Bynum’s good,he’s really good.”

With songs both traditional and origi-nal, Bill Bynum & Co. is a band that’s easy to love and hard to quit. The band’s coreof guitar, Dobro, ddle, bass and harmony vocals can lean into bluegrass, veer towardcountry, or take listeners on a unique jour-ney through Bill’s original songs.

Looking for supportTO THE EDITOR:

When you read this I am sure a fewof you will say; there she goes again. butthat is ne, I do believe that when our lo-cal VFW Post 3306 under the leadershipof Commander Dennis and his honoguard Rick, Bill, Bob, Al, Tony, George,Elmer, Jim, Dick, Dee, and Steve put oa Veteran’s Day Service of any kind thatmore of the community could show up

and pay respect by attending these services. After all if it wasn’t for these meand women you would not be living ia free country. On Memorial Day theput on a Memorial Service at 4 cemeter-ies and 2 memorials, they are in paradesthroughout the year. They are to be com-mended for the job they do, as they passin review it would be great if you couldsalute, put you hand over your heart, re-move your hat or stand and just shakea hand or say “thank you”. I would liketo thank the Kindergarten through 2ndgrade classes for the wonderful bannersthey made and are on display at the PostHome. Thank You.

Montcalm County possesses somestartling statistics. According to theMichigan State Police Crash Statisticsfor 2010 there were 960 vehicle crashesinvolving 10-16 year olds under the inu-ence of alcohol in the State. In MontcalmCounty there were 76 vehicle crashesinvolving 10-16 year olds with 1 fatality and 40 serious injuries. Further, accord-ing to the Michigan Prole for Healthy Youth surveys, “during the past 30 days”,for Montcalm County high school youth,15.6 percent of our 9th graders and 22.3

percent of our 11th graders have had veor more alcoholic drinks in a row withina couple of hours. This is called “bingedrinking episodes,. Local community surveys indicate that 31 percent of ourparents don,t know if there is an alcoholproblem here. Obviously, since so many of our teens are participating in bingedrinking this is denitely a problem.

In an attempt to address youth accessto alcohol and tobacco, a series of Alco-hol and Tobacco Compliance Checks with businesses selling Alcohol and Tobaccohave recently been completed. Workingas a team with Law Enforcement ofcersand underage decoys (buyers), we wereable to complete a number of compli-ance checks. All efforts in this project are

greatly appreciated. During the TobaccoCompliance Checks 67 sites were visited with 9 selling (13.43 percent) and duringthe Alcohol Compliance Checks 32 sites were visited with 5 selling (15.63 per-

cent).Each of the underage buyers pos-

sessed a valid driver,s license or State ID with RED lettering indicating the datethey would be legal to purchase the sub-stances. In most of the cases the clerk didnot ask for the ID. In a few cases, how-ever, they actually looked at the ID andstill sold to the youth.

We would like to acknowledge those businesses that PASSED the compliancechecks and thank them for working toprevent the sales of alcohol and tobacco

products to underage youth.

November 28, 2011

By Olivia Barrett

On October 28, Tri County High School welcomed published author andPierson native Bruce Jenvey. He quickly settled into the library, where a signwas posted in his honor, and spoke to different students each period of theday. Jenvey talked about everything from the production of his book to hiscareer prior to writing. After earning a degree in advertising from MichiganState University, he worked in the field and, after changing his career pathonce more, eventually landed in writing. His story, however, comes with a bitof a twist - Jenvey was so secretive about writing his first book that his wifethought he was having an affair!

Jenvey’s book, Angela’s Coven, is currently available as an e-book. Thebook sold more copies in its first week than its publishing company ever has.Call us crazy, but we’d say he’s pretty successful. TCHS students seemed toagree, as they listened intently to his every word and asked intelligent, well

thought-out questions after each class period’s speech. The event was part of NHS and the TC administration’s efforts toshow students that graduating from TCHS should be seen more as a privilege than a disadvantage.

Tri County Middle School’s Student Council has kicked off theirannual Toy’s for Tots campaign. Last year the middle school collectedover 1,000 toys. Those toys were distributed directly to Montcalmarea children. Each year there seems to be a shortage of gifts for olderchildren at the middle school age range. While you are out doingyour Black Friday shopping grab an extra gift for a child and drop itoff at the middle school collection box located in the office or in yourchild’s classroom. Put a smile on a child’s face this holiday season.

Preparing for the holidays? Got some shopping or baking to do?Come check out McNaughton’s Christmas Community Showcaseand accomplish both. Crafts, handmade items, Scentsy and Premier

Jewlers to name a few. There will be a Toys for Tots drop-box availableif you would like to donate an unwrapped gift. The shop is open onDecember 2, from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. at MacNaughton Elementary.

MacNaughton Elementary celebrated Veteran’sDay by raising a new American flag donated by theHoward City, VFW. In recognition of the VFW’sdonation the staff and students wore red, white, andblue, recited The Pledge of Allegiance and quietlywatched as principal Tim Goheen and Sergeant MattTeesdale, raised the new flag. MacNaughton studentsshowed their appreciation for veterans everywhere,by making “Thank You” banners, which werepresented to the VFW on Thursday.

The NHS would love to havecommunity members involved in helping make

this project a source of pride at Tri County.

By Olivia Barrett

On Wednesday, November 2, the yearbook students and other studentsinterested took a trip to Ferris State University for a day of journalism.Students took classes in Interviewing for Journalistic Writing, Storytelling

With Photography, Sports Writing and Interviewing, and Storytelling With Cinematography in the morning. Afternoon classes were Writingas a Career and School Newspapers. Lunch and a t-shirt were included.Attendees enjoyed the workshop because it showed them sides of the

journalism field not often shown in school.Prior to lunch, students chose two of the four aforementioned morning

classes. Storytelling With Video taught them about the three stages of quality cinematography (pre-production, shooting and post-production/ editing). The importance of knowing how to compose eye-catching photos,particularly the rule of thirds and framing, was preached in the Storytelling

With Photography class. Because many area students don’t often have theopportunity to write or interview for topics like sports, the Sports Writingand Interviewing class was popular. Interviewing for Journalistic Writingwas also a full class. In the afternoon, many TC students attended theSchool Newspaper class. They enjoyed this class because, at the presentmoment, our high school is lacking a newspaper of any sort; it presentedthem with new ideas and outlets to create one. To wrap things up, thevast majority of TCHS students attended Writing as a Career. All in all,TCHS students enjoyed their FSU journalism trip because it taught them

to think outside the box with new forms of media (digital) while stillhighlighting the importance of the “old school” forms.

Hunter Harrassment OverviewAgency: Natural Resources

Hunters in Michigan have the right to enjoy their sport free from unreasonable and

deliberate interference from those opposed to hunting as a legitimate use of public

land and other natural resources.

Michigan law prohibits individuals from obstructing or interfering with the law-

ful taking of animals. The Department of Natural Resources supports hunting as a

legitimate form of recreation and as a useful tool in the management of the wildlife

resource. Michigan conservation officers are committed to protecting hunters fromthe intentional disruption of the hunting experience.

Individuals, whose hunting is being obstructed, should promptly report the viola-

tion to the DNR toll free complaint line at 1-800-292-7800, a local conservation

officer, or the nearest DNR office facility.

Hunter harassment is a misdemeanor offense. Law enforcement officers may issue

a citation for violations which take place in their presence, or may arrest with a war-

rant obtained on information provided by the affected hunter. Acting in cooperation

with each other, the hunter and the conservation officer can be an effective team in

ensuring the full protection of Michigan’s hunters.

In order for an enforcement effort to be effective, the hunter should be prepared,

pay attention to details, contact a law enforcement officer and most important, be

willing to take the issue to court and provide credible testimony in any court pro-

ceedings.

Hunters should note the following points; who, what, where, when, and how when

reporting any physical or other deliberate hunter anti-hunter confrontation. The

hunter should not under any circumstances become involved in a physical confron-

tation with any individual. Hunters being harassedshould inform the harasser of

their feelings and request the

harassment to stop.

The burden of proof in any

criminal prosecution is on

the accuser. To successfully

prosecute any person for ha-

rassment of another, it must

be proven beyond a reason-

able doubt that the person

intentionally or knowingly

committed the violation.

Specializing In:

Game Heads, Mammals, and FishTo all you great Deer Hunters! Just a few field tips for your trophy

Buck. If it’s not below 32 degrees you need to cape your deer as soon

as possible, no more than one day. Three days if it is. Cut around the

deer behind the shoulders, cut the front legs off just above the knees

and skin the deer up to the head and cut off. Put in plastic bag and

freeze it or take to your taxidermist. I will be happy to do it for you if

you bring it to me. Good Luck, and safe hunting. ~ Steve Pritchard

In Michigan in 2010 there were 55,867

reported car-deer crashes with 11 mo-

torists killed and 1,277 injured. About

80 percent of all car-deer crashes take

place on two-lane roads between dusk

and dawn. (Of the reported car-deer

accidents Kent County is number one

and Montcalm County is number six in

the state’s highest accident rate).

What can you do?• Stay aware, awake, alert, and sober.

• Remember, safety belts are your best

defense in any collision.

• Be alert for deer in spring and fall,

especially at dawn and dusk.

• Heed deer crossing and speed limit

signs, particularly on two-lane roads.

If a crash is unavoidable:

• Don’t swerve!• Brake firmly

• Hold on to the steering wheel.

• Stay in your lane.

• Bring your vehicle to a controlled stop.

We at Hill’s Body Shop have noticed an increase in deer hits in the month of October through December

and a big surge directly after the end of Daylight Savings, because more people are still on the road at

sunset.

If you have had the misfortune of hitting a deer, Hill’s Body Shop, Inc. is here to help restore your ve-

hicle to its pre-accident condition. Your insurance company may refer you to one of their “preferred”repair facilities. These body shops have an agreement with your insurance company to keep down the

cost of your vehicle repair in exchange for referrals. We believe it’s not in your best interest to take

your vehicle to these contracted repair shops. We believe safety and quality should come before cost,

whereas these “preferred” shops seem to put cost before quality and safety. We believe it to be unethi-

cal to cheapen your vehicle repair to save your insurance company money. You’re our customer, not

your insurance company’s. Hill’s Body Shop, Inc. has always and will always provide the finest repairs

available.

For more information about what you can do to avoid a car-deer accident and what to do if you do have

a car-deer accident, please visit our website http://www.hillsbodyshop.com/

working site, it’s easy to find your home location

from there. Even for non-nerdy folk. Amazing.

Orwellian.

Their convenience exacts a price. The price of

this amazing technology can be high. Because

they are computers, some form of computer virus,

worm, or malware could damage or disable your

smartphone. A hacker could make your phone

retrieve programs or information from another in-

fected system to be used by the hacker later. They

can obtain personal data about you, for their own

gain – think identity theft. Some ‘Apps’ (Applica-

tions) have been purposefully developed to allow

the programmer access to your Smartphone’s user

information, such as a credit card numbers used to

buy over the phone, or social security numbers or

your private account passwords.

How will you know your phone’s been ‘taken’? It’s highly unlikely you’ll know when your smart-

phone’s been hacked. But on rare occasion clues

appear: What you see on the screen may seem

suspicious. Your phone’s capabilities may be com-

promised, it might work slowly, might not ‘feel’

just right, or could be refusing your commands.

If your phone has a mind of its own, perhaps an

outsider is in control. Does your phone turn on or

off by itself? Are there too many calls in your log

from numbers you don’t recognize?

Smart users protect their phones. As soon as you

get your first smartphone,

• Install an anti-virus program. Always keep

the AV software current. Use it frequently. Searchfor anti-virus programs on your computer, research

their efficiency and performance. Google offers

AVG Antivirus, and SMS AVG Mobilation for

Droids. Opera, WhatsApp Messenger, MyMobile

- many others, some free, most low-cost.

• iPhones have the luxury of built-in protec-

tion from worms and viral Apps because

all iPhone Apps are available only through

Apple’s iTunes. And TrendMicro offers

Smart Surfing, an App that prevents infec-

tion for iPhone users who frequently surf the

web.

• Before downloading an App, check it out. Is

it reputable? How often has the App been

reviewed? Who’s the manufacturer?

• As boring as it seems, read the Terms and

Conditions for the App to see how much

information you will share with the manu-

facturer. Choose Apps that want only the in-

formation needed to perform their function.

• Don’t give out your social security number.

• Use a proven, reliable, backup program to

store your telephone’s contents in the clouds.

Unless you’re a fearless risktaker or have the

nerd gene, don’t try a backup by jailbreaking

or rooting your phone, which invites worms(for sure if you didn’t understand this sen-

tence).

• Always turn off your GPS and geolocation

when you aren’t using it. Most Droids have

an icon to do this. Or use your privacy set-

tings.

• Simplest of all, but maybe hardest to manage,

don’t let your phone get away in someone

else’s pocket.

HypnosisLast year Barb and I took some training in Hypnosis. The purpose was to use this to help discover some of our own issues

and to bring back tools that we can use to help others who come to The Healing Center.

Having mentioned this to some friends, someone commented that Hypnosis scared her. This is actually a very commonreaction. Why? Most of it is because of movies, television, or stage hypnosis. We have all seen the scary movie or TV showin which someone is hypnotized into a zombie who does horrible things to others. Or we have seen stage hypnosis wheresomeone is made to cluck like a chicken or bark like a dog while jumping around on stage. We must remember that this is allentertainment.

Others are afraid of this because of their religious upbringing. I was raised to think that Hypnosis was a tool of the devil.Mom told us that during a hypnotic trance demons and entities could possess us. Of course, what person wants to bepossessed? I always wondered how this could be the devil’s work if it was used to help people stop drinking, stop smoking,loose weight, overcome stress / anxiety / anger and heal themselves?

Think about some normal things that happen every day in our lives. We have all experienced that fuzzy state when we

were between being awake and asleep. Frequently we daydream. Have you ever been driving a long distance and suddenly “woke up”, not really knowing how you got to this exit? During a shower, or while working on a factory assembly line, we dothese things so automatically that our mind goes somewhere else. How many of us watch television or movies and becomeentranced (that is what the advertisers count on). What about when we become engrossed in a book? Did you ever have the

feeling of drifting off during church even though you were not tired?

These are all normal everyday events that are actually hypnotic states. When tests were done with EEG (brain wave tests),it was found that our brain produces four different kinds of brain waves. Beta brain waves occur when we are wide awake. Alpha waves happen when we day dream, do repetitive work, during prayer, when we drift off to sleep, every time we have a dream (5-6 times per night), within 5 minutes of sittingdown to watch a movie or TV show, and during hypnosis. Theta waves occur during deeper sleep,during extreme pain, and during anesthesia (for dentistry or surgery). This state is also associated withsome nerve pills and sleeping pills. Finally Delta waves occur during the deepest sleep.

We all have automatic habits, and repetitive emotional reactions to things. If these behaviors help usin our daily lives, we will want to keep them. If they are harmful and limiting, we may want to changethem. The subconscious part of our mind is what controls all of our behavior and reactions, good or bad. Hypnosis is a nice way to get into that programming part of our brain to change some of thoseless than beneficial activities.

We should be excited. We now have tools to learn to manage this part of our mind.
