The sixth-grade students of Pat Snyder at St. Joseph Catholic School in St. Johns, show the cookies they baked. After watching a 9/11 Nick News video in class and having a discussion, the students decided to do a service project in memory of those who lost their lives that day, especially first responders. Students, with the help of parents, delivered the cookies and cards they made to the St. Johns Police, St. Johns Fire Dept., Clinton County Sheriff’s Dept., Clinton Area Fire and Rescue, and Clinton Area Amublance Service.

Eureka Christian Church will be holding a special Burning of the Mortgage service on Sunday morning Sept. 25. The mortgage was for the addition of a kitchen, gymnasium/ fellowship area, and education wing. The addition was built 1988, and has been used for receptions, dinners, classes, funerals and many other activities. It also housed the former Eureka Christian School.

Many current members of the congregation have mentioned that they thought that they would never live to see the day when the mortgage would be paid off, but through much dedication, sacrificial giving, and God’s blessings that day has come. Some of the current members actually helped in the building of the addition. The day’s celebration will begin

at 9:30 a.m. with the worship service which will include special music, a time of rememberance and the burning of the mortage. There will be a potluck dinner for all in attendance following the service. Eureka Christian Church is located in Eureka at 2019 E. Maple Rapids Rd. About 2.5 miles east of US-127 near Uncle John’s Cider Mill and the Emerald Golf Course.

Taking advantage of fall tree planting ST. JOHNS — With the end of summer drawing near, many people are trying to spend much of their time outdoors while the good weather lasts. And with autumn around the corner one of the activities to begin preparing for now is tree planting. There is a lot more to tree planting than just sticking a tree in the ground. First, it is important to select trees that are well suited to the site conditions. Soil texture, drainage and fertility are important characteristics to consider. Trees not suited to the soil conditions can be susceptible to disease, insect attack, poor growth and high mortality rates. Another important part of tree planting is site preparation. Seedlings compete with grasses and weeds for water availability, soil nutrients, and sunlight. Proper site preparation reduces vegetative competition and habitat for rab-

bits and rodents which can cause severe damage to young trees. This can be achieved by mechanical or chemical applications or by applying mulch or bark chips. Other considerations include follow-up maintenance such as watering, fertilizing and protection from animal damage. Drought and nutrient deficiencies can quickly damage or kill young trees. It is important to water and fertilize trees regularly to keep them healthy. Young trees are very susceptible to damage from animals like deer, rabbits, and rodents. Products like tree guards and deer repellents can offer some assistance in reducing animal damage until the trees reach a size or height that is out of reach from pests. Timing is another important factor that should be taken into account when planting trees.

time to plant is late spring. Both conifers and deciduous trees can be planted in the spring, but fall plantings, with a few exceptions, should be limited to conifers. The Clinton Conservation District is taking orders for its fall tree sale, so now is the time to act. A wide variety of bare root seedlings and transplants are available and will be ready for pick up on Oct. 13-14 at the Clinton Conservation District in St. Johns. Find tree sale order forms on the Clinton Conservation District website at www.clintonconservation.org or picked up at the district office.

ST. JOHNS - Linus and Snoopy won’t be there, but a whole lot of “Great Pumpkins” will be on display at Andy T’s Farm Market for the Great Lakes Commonwealth Giant Pumpkin Weigh-off contest. Giant pumpkin growers from around the Great Lakes region will vie for prizes - and big bragging rights - at the fun event that runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 24. Andy and Sunday Todosciuk have hosted the contest for the past 18 years at their farm market located at 3131 S. BR-127 just south of St. Johns. Their involvement with the international organization of giant pumpkin growers is a natural fit for the farm market and Andy T’s has seen lots and lots of giant pumpkins and other huge vegetables over the years. There are 70 GPC sanctioned sites around the world, primarily in the United States and Canada. Last year’s giant pumpkin grown by Chris Stevens of Wisconsin set a new world record of 1,810.5 pounds. Ken Sweet of Washington Township in Macomb County took second overall among all pumpkin growers with a giant that weighed in at 1,725 pounds. Sweet was close behind last year’s winners at Andy T’s regional event, too. Joe Platte took first, 1,592 pounds; Chad Swarts was second, 1,542 pounds; and Sweet was third, 1536 pounds. Maybe 2011 is Michigan’s year to claim the Giant Pumpkin crown. Registration at Andy T’s begins at 8 a.m., with the weigh off starting at 11. The

winners will be announced by early afternoon. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs for seating during the weigh off. In addition to giant pumpkins, growers of other “big” veggies and fruits will also compete for prizes in the categories of watermelon, squash, field pumpkins, tomato, long gourds, sunflowers, marrow and tall corn. Andy T’s has also added a New Growers Class this year for any squash or pumpkin weighing 750 pounds or under. Entrants must be first-time growers at the Great Lakes Commonwealth Weigh Off to qualify for prize money in this class. Visitors can also enjoy the variety of family-friendly activities that are part of Andy T’s Fall Fun 2011. There are hayrides to the pumpkin patch where you can pick your own pumpkin; a six-acre corn maze; straw maze; petting farm and apple orchard; and gooey caramel vat for dipping and making your own caramel apples. The farm market is also open, selling Andy T’s gourmet sweet corn and other homegrown vegetables and fruits like tomatoes, squash and apples. Lots of tasty treats including homemade pumpkin and apple pie and donuts await visitors at the bakery, and the garden area has a full array of fall plants and landscape supplies. For more information on the GPC weigh off, call Andy T’s at (989) 224-7674 or visit www.andyts.com. The market is open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

people can take to improve their health. According to Singh, “The most challenging aspects of these new products are that they can be used discretely and they are appealing to young people. Kids can begin a lifetime of addiction to nicotine with these products, and be at risk for all of the health issues associated with tobacco use. During this busy and exciting time as kids head back to school, we want parents, caregivers, school staff, and area youth to be aware that these products are being sold in our community, and that they are not a safe alternative to smoking cigarettes.” For more information on the results of the community scan, contact Cheryl Thelen, MMDHD health educator, at (989) 831-3634.

Health Department participated in the scan, visiting 24 venues in Clinton County. Among all venues scanned statewide, 98 percent sold newly emerging products. Snus and e-cigarettes were the top two products sold. Other products sold included hookah, orbs, dissolvables, strips or sticks, nicogel, crush, and nicotine drops. The products were available in a variety of flavors including mellow, mint, frost, peppermint, winterchill, robust, citrus, vanilla, cherry, and many others. Snus and e-cigarettes were available throughout Clinton County. The tobacco industry markets these products as an alternative to smoking cigarettes, and portrays the products as less harmful than smoking cigarettes. However, there is no evidence indicating these new products are any safer. Quitting tobacco use or addiction to nicotine is one of the best steps that

ST. JOHNS - Results from a community scan recently conducted by local agencies around Michigan, in collaboration with the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) Tobacco Section, indicate there are several new and emerging tobacco and non-tobacco nicotine products being sold and marketed statewide and locally. “In the past several years, an abundance of new tobacco and nicotine products have come on the market, including in our local community,” said Kimberly Singh, MidMichigan District Health Department health officer. “These products are heavily marketed to young people through advertising and the use of colorful packaging and flavoring.” Thirty-six agencies conducted the scan in 806 venues located within 45 Michigan counties. Scanned venues included gas stations, convenience stores, grocery stores, pharmacies, and others. The Mid-Michigan District

Man hoping lawn mower brings him big win Sue Lounds slounds@lsj.com

ST. JOHNS — St. Johns resident John Mesh is a finalist in the Miller Weld Challenge, an online contest. And area people can vote for Mesh and help him win. Mesh’s entry is a custom racing lawn mower, something he built from the ground up, with a little help from his friends. Mark Hufnagel, one of Mesh’s friends, had a racing mower but he crashed it. Mesh offered to help him build a new one. A trio of friends have been involved with the mower, which they named Old Milwaukee Express. Hufnagel is the owner and driver. Mesh built the chassis and Duane Hoffer, of Hoffer Performance in Brant, did the engine work. The majority of the work Mesh did involved welding

and precision tooling. That led him to enter the racing lawn mower in the online competition. To help Mesh in his effort to win this online contest, go to www.millerwelds.com/ challenge/ Scroll down to the Racing Lawnmower in the Difficult category on the right. Click on the racing lawn mower then click on submit. Voting ends Friday, Sept. 23. WhileyouareontheInternet, if you are interested in learning more about Old Milwaukee Express, go to www.garagejournal.com/forum/ showthread.php?t=100080 There you will find the blog Mesh wrote during the building project. There are also lots of photos. Old Milwaukee Express was built in the winter of 2010. “We raced a couple times to make sure it all worked right,” said Mesh.

Then over Memorial weekend, they took it all apart, sand-blasted it and painted it. Then it was off to the races. Old Milwaukee Express is a rather unique machine. “We use a horizontal shaft,” said Mesh. “Everybody else has a vertical shaft.” Racing rules require the machines to have a true neutral. “To get around that, we put an electric clutch on it,” said Mesh. “An electric clutch is like putting a car in gear.” There is also a foot clutch. Some of the other parts and specifications of the mower include a Honda motorcycle seat; Sears Craftsman II hood; 1x2 rectangular steel tubing frame; handmade aluminum belt and chain guards; 23 h.p. Briggs and Stratton Vanguard engine; custom-made manifolds for dual Mikuni

carburetors and custommade 2-into-1 exhaust headers. Additional modifications by Hoffer Performance give the engine 35 horsepower. “It’s got more power than traction,” said Mesh. And it sounds like a car. “It revs up like a motorcycle and sounds like a car,” he said. “It sounds more like a car than a lawn mower.” Mesh said the sound isn’t popular with everyone. “Guys don’t like it when they’re behind him (on the track), because it sounds pretty wicked. It sounds pretty neat running down the back stretch, especially on the bigger tracks,” he said. Mesh said his main reason for building the lawn mower was to have something reliable for races. “The main reason for wanting to build it was so we could run it, not always

The guys have been racing Old Milwaukee Express and some area tracks - Maple Rapids Grasskickers, Ithaca Dirt Devils and Potterville Rough Riders, primarily. The last race of the

season at the Maple Rapids track is Sunday, Sept. 18 at 2 p.m. If you can’t make it to the track, you can catch some video of Old Milwaukee Express on YouTube at w w w. y o u t u b e . c o m / watch?v=egHSOAmwxH4 So check it out, and don’t forget to vote.

Mint City races benefit cross country teams ST. JOHNS — The Mint City Races were held Aug. 6 and over 450 participants, young and old, came out for the 10-Mile, 5K, and the kids runs. The 10-Mile Run is part of the Playmaker’s Greater Lansing Race Series, which is made up of 12 of the larger races in the area. “It’s great to be part of the series, and a great opportunity for runners who want a 10-mile run,” said Carol Malewska, race committee member. Chris Stoddard, Bath, took top honors in the mens 10-Mile with an impressive time of 57:37, while Tyler Noble of Saginaw topped the mens 5K event with a record-breaking 16:03. Emily Johnston of Lansing, won the womens 10-Mile with an outstanding 1:07:35, and Brooke Knight, St. Johns, came in at first place for the womens 5K with 19:50. Photos and complete results can be seen at www.mintcityraces.com or www.playmakers.com . All of the Mint City Runs represent an increasing interest in the sport. Over 30 children experienced the Minty Mile and 300-meter dash that were held between the starts of the 5 K and 10 Mile events. Children, including toddlers, got their first experience running a free fun run, crossing the finish line and receiving a medal, snacks

and a goodie bag. “It was heartwarming to watch the little kids run the events. It brought smiles to everyone watching,” said Michelle Hafner, race committee member. Sparrow Clinton Hospital, a primary sponsor, celebrated its seventh year in supporting the Mint City Runs with monetary, in-kind contributions and staff to assist in organizing the online registration and packet pick-up. Also, many volunteers throughout the community and track teams assisted in manning the food tent, water tables, traffic control and other functions that helped the Mint City Races be a safe and funfilled event. St. Johns police department led the racers throughout the city and Tara Hanks, from Sundance GMC Buick, provided scoop vans following the runners. The convenient early packet pickup at Playmakers on Friday and race day registration is an added benefit to the runners. The gift bags were a hit and the high tech timing strips on the race bibs were a wonderful addition this year. Following the completion, the runners enjoyed indoor showers, food, beverages and the famous, AndyT’s sweet corn awarded to all finishers. St. Johns local celebrity, Jason Colthrop, Channel 10

news anchor has run the 10-Mile race many times, added fun and excitement to the race. The mission of the Mint City Races is to promote the health and fitness of Clinton County youth and to fight childhood obesity. To date the race has generated over $35,000 in awards donated to local schools and their fitness related programs. This year’s recipients were the St. Johns High School, St. Johns Middle School, and Fowler cross country teams. “It’s always rewarding to be able to give back to the community’s young people and help defray the costs of worthwhile programs,” said Kathy Kushmaul, race committee member. The event has also been favorably compared to the largest race in Michigan, the Crim Festival of Races, as “… the only other rel-

Stroke education, advocacy are both needed There is hope after stroke. I was fifty years young when I had my lifethreatening stroke. I want to give a hopeful face to stroke. Stroke can affect anyone regardless of age, gender or race. Women, younger women, are often misdiagnosed or symptoms missed. The National Stroke Association brought together a group of inspired and committed stroke advocates (survivors and caregivers) to receive training on advocacy and to apply that training on Capitol Hill. This group is the first of its kind to connect, organize and advocate for better stroke awareness to improve policies and surround stroke care. I felt privileged to be asked to speak to our national lawmakers on behalf of stroke survivors in our country and to help

GUEST COLUMN By Maurine Mitchell educate them on the difficulties stroke survivors and stroke care givers encounter. How wonderful it was to be with these individuals who, like me, have endured the trials of stroke. To be able to speak, as well as, understand the unspoken language of stroke survivors and caregivers. National Stroke Association Lobby Day was a great opportunity empowering advocates to share their personal stories in a way that can make a big difference for all stroke survivors and their families. Ron, my husband and chief care giver, and I attended a one-day seminar June 22, which provided us the useful tools

necessary to meet with our leaders on the “Hill” June 23, and effectively discuss issues on the Congressional agenda and for budget year 2012. During our training on advocacy, our speaker, Dr. Walter J. Koroshetz, Deputy Director for National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) briefed us on cutting-edge research and trials being conducted for stroke research. Dr. Koroshetz, who was leaving the very next day for a conference in China on stroke, reminded us all that in China, we would not have the opportunity to go express our views to our leaders, like we do here in America. Legislative change is needed to provide appropriate care to individuals who have survived a stroke. Younger survivors are not being served well

with regard to getting their lives back, dealing with depression and the anxiety of having another stroke, while trying to raise a family and return to work. Survivors need to educate policy decision-makers about the issues and problems we face to help remove any and all roadblocks in order to receive proper care and rehabilitation. June 23, our group made our way to Capitol Hill. Ron and I were assigned the offices of Michigan’s United States Senators Debbie Stabenow and Carl Levin. In the afternoon, we visited the office of Congressman Mike Rogers. We shared our story of my stroke, the challenges we encountered and the hopes that funding would be maintained for the National Institute of Health, which is instrumental in research

FOWLERVILLE - It was the first game in the new CAAC Red for St. Johns football, but the Redwings fared just fine in their conference opener Sept 9. Senior running back Mason Sauls had three rushing touchdowns as St. Johns beat Fowlerville 36-13. “It feels great. That was the first conference game and it feels great to start that off with a win,” Sauls said. As the Redwings begin their road in the CAAC Red, it will be a different path than previous seasons. Sexton is off to the CAAC Blue after sharing the Red title with Mason and St. Johns last season. The Bulldogs have moved on to the CAAC Gold. Entering the Red are DeWitt, Haslett, Ionia and Fowlerville, a quartet that made up the majority of the Gold before the re-alignment at the end of the last school year. St. Johns and Owosso are the only holdovers in the Red. “You can’t help but be excited,” St. Johns coach Dave Mariage said about the new setup. “We’ve played DeWitt obviously for the last six years, so it’s going to be interesting to see it as a league game and it’s fun. I think it’s great for our community and our fans. We never played Haslett, and we never played Fowlerville, so it is kind of exciting to do something new. But it’s a tough league, not that our other one wasn’t, but we’re not getting any breaks.” Mariage’s team was battling with Fowlerville in the opening half, but for a third straight week, the Redwings buried their opponent in the second half.

The Redwings struck first with a big play in the second quarter. Senior quarterback Brad Cordes found junior tight end Kris Lindquist for a 69-yard touchdown pass to put St. Johns up 6-0. The Gladiators responded with a grinding drive that took over eight minutes. Junior running back Jordan Jabara finished it off with a two-yard touchdown plunge and gave Fowlerville a 7-6 lead after a made extra point. “I told them at halftime that was a heck of a drive,” first-year Fowlerville coach Bret Shrader said. “We thought it was going to be a statement drive.” It seemed that way briefly, but St. Johns responded with precision passing from Cordes, who completed nine passes for 228 yards and two touchdowns. The Redwings drove down the field with less than two minutes to go in the first half and got a five-yard touchdown run from Sauls to give St. Johns a 13-7 halftime lead. “We do the two-minute drill every week, and we work on it and so it’s nice when you do it and actually execute,” Mariage said. “I thought our kids did a nice job of pacing ourselves down there, not going too fast or out of control and yeah, it was a huge momentum swing.” Cordes found senior running back Austin Koneval for

a 34-yard touchdown on a third and short, and junior Bryce LaBar picked up a bad extra point snap and ran it in for a two-point conversion to give the Redwings a 21-7 third quarter lead. On St. Johns’ next possession, the Redwings were faced with a third and 27 when Cordes flared the ball out to Sauls on a slow-developing screen play. Sauls picked up some blockers, found a few holes and turned the play in to a 61-yard gain. Sauls then finished the drive with a two-yard touchdown run to put the Redwings up 28-7. “That felt good. The coaches were calling good plays and we were doing them properly,” Sauls said. Sauls, who also had a touchdown run in the fourth quarter against the Gladiators, has five touchdowns through three games and is providing a very formidable compliment to senior fullback Andrew Mullikin. “We got (senior running back Austin) Koneval back there too, so I mean we got three guys we feel like can carry the ball. They run hard and they’re very hard to tackle because those kids have put in a lot of time in the weight room,” Mariage said. “The nice thing about those kids is that they can run through a tackle, and they also have a little bit of speed. (Sauls) had a real nice game, real hard running.”

Fall Home Improvement Is D-I-Y a recipe for saving money overall? Many homeowners or renters wrestle with the question of whether to tackle a project as a do-it-yourself venture to save some money or simply leave it to a professional. Each situation is unique, but there are certain factors that must be considered regardless of a homeowner’s particular situation. On the surface, a DIY task can seem a very good way to save some money. After all, a large percentage, sometimes as much as 50 percent, of the cost of hiring a contractor goes toward labor. For a DIY job with no such costs, the final financial tally can be substantially less. Although labor can be expensive, that cost is often justified. People who hire carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and the like are paying for the workers’ experience. They’re also paying with the expectation that the job will be done correctly. With jobs that require a building permit or must be done to specific code, the contractor often puts his reputation on the line and will be held

Installing a new deck may be a project best left to the professionals because of the skill level required. FILE PHOTO accountable if the work doesn’t meet requirements. That isn’t to say an untrained individual can’t tackle a specific job around the house. There are some guidelines that may make such projects go more smoothly and, as a result, more affordable. • Read up and learn as much as you can about the particular

work to be done. It’s easier to make mistakes if you do not know where to start. • Talk to others who have also done the work. They may have some tips or advice that can save you time and money. You may also want to ask if they can help and show you the ropes. • Be sure to obtain all neces-

sary permits before starting any work. Don’t risk a fine for doing work without permits or having work inspected. • When applying for permits, find out if there is a list of codespecific requirements that you can follow -- a cheat-sheet of sorts. It may list rated materials required and any techniques. See if you can speak to an inspector who will be visiting your property later on to find out what he or she looks for specifically. • You must feel confident with the endeavor. If you are unsure about anything, you may risk injury or make a significant mistake and be forced to hire someone to clean up your mess. • Consider reputable sources for information. While it’s easy to go online and scour message boards for pointers on certain tasks, not all of the information is accurate. Trust only content from sources that are licensed or backed by certification in a certain area. These things being said, there are a number of DIY projects that

regular people can try. Starting off small and building up as skills are developed are good ways to begin. For example: • Tile a small kitchen backsplash before tackling an entire bathroom shower enclosure or floor. • Build an outdoor potting stand before attempting furniture or cabinetry work in a main room of the house. • Change out a ceiling fan or lighting fixture before re-running electrical lines through the home. • Succeed in repairing a leaky drain pipe before taking on a more advanced plumbing issue. • Use regular painting techniques first before experimenting with a trendy faux finish or plaster application. There are many different things individuals can do themselves that stretch beyond routine home maintenance. From manicures to pool upkeep, the potential to save money when budgets are tight can be a powerful motivator.

Ways to ready your home to withstand harsh winter weather insulation. Such joists won’t be visible in an adequately insulated attic. Put up the storm windows. It’s nice to open the windows in the spring and summer and let the warm air waft in through the screens. But when summer is over, it’s time to put up the storm windows once again. Storm windows add an extra layer of protection from the elements and are especially valuable in homes with single-pane glass windows. Homeowners who don’t have storm windows should consider upgrading their existing windows. Such a project isn’t cheap, but newer windows will almost certainly lead to lower heating costs, meaning the project will essentially pay for itself over time. Homeowners who can’t afford to replace all of their windows don’t have to replace them all at once. Instead, replace them a few at a time and make the

rooms where you spend the most time each winter the first on the list to receive new windows. Be diligent with the gutters. Leaves falling from trees is an idyllic image associated primarily with autumn. Unfortunately, when leaves fall they often fall into the gutters. Routinely clean the gutters once the leaves start to fall. Clean gutters will allow snow and rain to effectively drain through the gutters. If the gutters are clogged, snow might have nowhere to go when it begins to melt, and roof damage might result. Such damage is costly but preventable in most instances. One of the easier preventive measures to take is to routinely clean the gutters of leaves and other debris that accumulate during the fall. When cleaning the gutters, make sure they are properly aligned. Poorly aligned gutters can lead to a host of problems.

One such problem is flooding. If downspouts are not properly aligned with the rest of the gutters, then water might not be directed away from the home as it’s intended. Instead, water might be directed toward the home, resulting in flooding or additional water damage. Have the furnace cleaned. Experts recommend annual furnace cleanings. Before cold weather arrives, turn the furnace on to make sure it’s still working. An unpleasant odor should appear when first turning on the furnace, but it shouldn’t last very long. If the odor sticks around, turn the furnace off and call a professional. Once winter arrives, routinely replace the filters. This makes the furnace operate more efficiently and can also reduce the risk of fire.

their disposal to plug leaks, be it door sweeps that block air from entering under exterior doors to caulk applied around leaky windows. When using caulk outdoors, be sure to use a weatherresistant caulk or, if sealing brick, use masonry sealer. Add insulation upstairs. Homeowners who have an attic in their homes might want to consider adding some insulation up there. Experts recommend a minimum of 12 inches of insulation in the attic. That might prove costly, but a poorly insulated attic is akin to opening the front door and letting the heat out. It might be best for less-thanhandy homeowners to hire a professional to insulate the attic. But do-it-yourselfers might find it good to know that if the ceiling joists, which are often 11 inches or less, are visible, then the attic is in need of additional

FALL HOME IMPROVEMENT 2011

As autumn arrives, homeowners can take several steps to get their homes ready for whatever winter has to offer with the following tasks. Fix the leaks. A leaky home will prove an expensive home during the winter months. A home with many leaks will be much colder to inhabit, and homeowners typically turn up the heat to counter drafts that can make a home feel like a meat locker. But turning up the thermostat isn’t the answer. Instead, fix leaks in the fall before the cold weather arrives. Leaks should not be very hard to find. On the first breezy autumn afternoon, walk around the house in search of any drafty areas. These drafts will be noticeable and often occur around doors and window frames, electrical outlets and even recessed lighting. Homeowners have a host of options at

Things to consider when budgeting your home improvement Home improvement projects have become de rigueur for today’s homeowners. Be it a kitchen remodel or the ever popular man cave project, home improvement projects remain a goal for many. As enticing as a home improvement project might be, no project can be successful until a budget has been established. The right budget will keep homeowners from going deep into debt when improving their homes, ensuring that, upon the project’s completion, they can fully enjoy their revamped castles without the specter of significant debt hanging ominously over their heads. Before beginning a home improvement project, homeowners can take the following things into consideration.

Credit score: Before beginning a home improvement projects, homeowners should construct a budget to ensure the project is a success. FILE PHOTO

Many homeowners finance home improvement projects with loans from the bank. Particularly in the current economy when banks are being forced to tighten lending requirements, securing such loans isn’t easy. Homeowners with significant credit card debt should eliminate such debt before beginning a project. Doing so serves multiple purposes. First and foremost, eliminating outstanding debt will free up more money to allocate toward the project. Eliminating debt will also make loan applicants more attractive to prospective creditors, increasing their chances of securing a loan and a lower interest rate.

When the comparison between monthly expenses and monthly income has been made, Project’s priority: homeowners can get a grasp Budgeting a home of just what they can and improvement project also cannot afford. involves being honest as

homeowners should examine their finances before starting a home improvement project. Just because a bank will loan out money for a project doesn’t mean the project is affordable. Homeowners should compare their monthly expenses with their Personal finances: incomes, and then deterIt sounds simple, but mine what’s left that might

to just how necessary the project is. For example, a man cave might be a dream project, but should it be a priority over other things around the house? If wear and tear is taking its toll on the roof, for instance, the money going toward the man cave should probably be allocated to replacing the roof instead. If a project is low on the priority list but high on the want list, re-examine those projects higher up on the priority list to determine if they are more deserving of immediate attention and funds than vanity projects.

Overrun costs: Not every home improvement project will come in at or under budget. Many go over budget due to a host of factors. Homeowners should not be caught off guard when a project goes over budget. Instead, plan for the project to go over and expect such frustration. Allocate extra money in the original budget for overrun costs. This will reduce stress and frustration, and if the project comes in under budget, then there’s extra money when the project is completed.

Fall lawn care, winter growth Warm-weather days will soon be a thing of the past and that means prepping the home and landscape for the arrival of winter weather. Even though it may be blanketed first by leaves and snow, lawns need treatment now to be sure they overwinter successfully. In fact, lawn experts say there is significant root growth that takes place during the winter -growth homeowners won’t necessarily see. People should continue to water their lawns throughout the autumn if there isn’t significant rain and to aerate it as well. Applying a fertilizer that is high in nitrogen can help foster strong root growth. Also, keep up on removing leaves that have fallen. Not only will they stifle the lawn, but they may cause excessive moisture and mold to grow while inhibiting sunlight from reaching the grass as well. Before winter arrives, take the time to sow some grass seeds into the bald patches.

At times homeowners are unsure about High capacity pleated filwhether they need to use primer or if just paint will do the trick. Although there are no firm rules, there are certain cases where one or the other will be adequate. Consider a room where the walls have been heavily stained, either by moisture infiltration, rust or another factor. Deep-set stains may bleed through regular paint, therefore a primer should be applied. There also are specialized primers that can be used in rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms that often contain a lot of moisture. These primers inhibit the growth of mold and mildew on painted surfaces. If a room is only to be painted white or tinted slightly with color, then a primer alone can be used. Rooms that are being painted that are already white and free of stains or other surface abnormalities may be painted sufficiently with just a coat of regular paint. If skipping primer, look for a high-quality, thick paint that boasts good coverage in one or two coats. There are new products today that offer primer and paint all in one combination. The jury is still out on the efficacy of these new items, but homeowners can experiment with these paints to see if they work for them.

Kevin Hoard, St. Johns senior, prepares to pass the ball during the Mason Invitational Sept. 10. KIM SPERRY FOR CCN

There weren’t any losses for St. Johns and Redwings soccer coach Karl Hanover, but some of the ties could have wound up as victories. St. Johns defeated Waverly and Davison on Sept. 8 and 13, respectively, but had ties in two games with Everett and Mason in the Mason last weekend. “We need to convert those ties to wins and we think we could have,” Hanover said. “We still have problems, like scoring goals. We’re just not putting them in the net yet, but we’re getting better.” Against the Warriors, the Redwings used goals from senior midfielder Sam Hanover and senior forward Dane Bergstrom to grab a 2-1 victory. Bergstrom scored the winning goal at the 33:38 minute mark of the second half off a corner kick. The Redwings got a shutout over Davison on Sept. 13 with a 3-0 win. St. Johns controlled most of the game with their pass-

ing and ball movement in the midfield and defense, which allowed the offense 17 shots on goal. Bergstrom and Sam Hanover netted goals for St. Johns along with senior midfielder Kelden Carpenter. Sophomore Adam Zbiciak and senior Tyler Kinsey combined for seven saves and the shutout for St. Johns. In the Mason Invitational, St. Johns saw some good competition, but the Redwings held their own. In their first game of the competition, Sam Hanover had the lone goal for St. Johns in a 1-1 tie. “We outshot Everett 10-1 and their one went in and ours were bouncing off posts and stuff,” Karl Hanover said. While a younger squad may find it frustrating to not see more balls going in to the back of the net, Hanover explained that this unit is experienced with 14 seniors who know they balls will bounce their way eventually. “I don’t feel that we’re panicking or anything. I think our work during the games can get a

little better. Sometimes we just turn in to nice guys out there, and we’ve got to be the first ones to the ball. We’re working on doing that all game long,” Hanover said. The offense picked up against the host team, as St. Johns tied an unbeaten team Mason 3-3. Bergstrom, Sam Hanover and Jon Harden all had goals against the Bulldogs “Probably one of the best defenses that we played against this year and we scored the most goals,” Karl Hanover said. “We were playing pretty well and we got up 1-0 early so we came out pretty competitively. It was a good-quality game. We never quit. Guys put in a few miles during that game. They were ranked number one in the state, so we feel pretty good about the way we played that game.” The Redwings have been working on their offense to help pick up the scoring. “We weren’t including a lot of crosses and didn’t seem like we were passing to our forwards as much as we were early in the

season, but now we have more of a balanced attack and we’re including our outside forwards a lot more now,” Hanover said. St. Johns will go on the road to DeWitt Sept. 20 in a key CAAC Red battle. “That’s going to be a huge game,” Hanover said. “It’s a toss up. Maybe we’re playing at their place so they may have a little advantage there, but we feel like can come in there and play our best.”

Fowler was hanging on to a 14-8 lead over Pewamo-Westphalia in the annual rivalry game Sept. 9. Then the Pirates tore the heart out of the Eagles in the final minutes. P-W senior quarterback Justin Thelen had a 27-yard touchdown run with just 2:07 to play in the fourth quarter to lift the Pirates over Fowler 15-14 in a CMAC game. “This is just a true battle,” Fowler coach Craig Koenigsknecht said after the loss. “We knew they had a good team coming in. They’re well-coached, and they have a great bunch of kids. We knew they were quick, and we knew their backs were squirrelly, and we knew we had to wrap it up. A few plays, we just didn’t wrap it up, and they got away from us, and that kinda is the ball game.” Fowler (1-2, 1-2) only gained 220 yards of offense, but they were doing enough to stay ahead of P-W. The Pirates (3-0, 3-0) got on the board first with a 36-yard run by senior running back Alex Thelen, but

after that it was Fowler in control. Eagle senior Mitch Thelen returned the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown to pull Fowler within one, 8-7, after P-W had successfully made a two-point conversion after their touchdown. In the third quarter, junior running back Tyler Koenigsknecht had an 82-yard run to give Fowler a 14-8 lead. The Eagle defense did their job against P-W, as the Pirates gained only 269 yards themselves. But the touchdown run in the final minutes was enough to propel them to a win. It also put Fowler in a tough spot at 1-2, although the bulk of their CMAC slate will be behind them soon. Like I told them, losing is never a good thing but good can come out of it. That’s the way we’ve got to look at it,” Koenigsknecht said. “We’re 1-2 right now and we’ve got to win the rest out. And all we can do is come out and get better.” Koenigsknecht is seeing his team

turn a corner as the season progresses, with big plays starting to help the team. “I think we’re right there. The breaks didn’t go our way and we turned the ball over early, and that hurt right away. But we busted a kick return, and that was nice. We busted a long play to start the second half. The momentum was in our hands. But we just couldn’t hold it off at the end,” Koenigsknecht said. The Fowler defense has been stout all along. The Eagles have allowed a combined 22 points in their two losses, with seven coming to Saranac in the season opener and 15 coming to P-W. Defense and a schedule that lets up down the stretch could help Fowler still make the playoffs. Now that the Eagles have played Fulton, they’ll face a critical game at Bath Sept. 23 before playing three teams they beat by a combined score of 150-33 last season in Portland St. Patrick, Dansville and Carson CityCrystal.

Sept.8, the St. Johns Girls Varsity Swimming and Diving team traveled to Okemos High School for their first league meet of the season. In a meet that featured many great performances by the Redwings, St. Johns came up a little short in a 95-91 loss to the Chieftains. “This was by far one of the best efforts we’ve had against Okemos. Our girls stepped up and performed well right up until the end. The outcome really came down to the last event and that made for a tremendous meet,” said Coach Kim Brewbaker. Senior Hailey LaBar won the 50 meter freestyle with a time of 26.59 seconds while freshman Alexandra Davis took first in the 500 meter freestyle with a time of 5:37.98.

LaBar and Davis were also part of the winning 400 meter freestyle relay team along with seniors Jacquelynn Voisin and Maggie Wright. Wright added two second-place finishes to her relay win in the 200 individual medley and the 100 meter butterfly. It was another strong meet for Davis, who won her first event earlier this season at the East Lansing Invitational, but it was also a strong meet for the team as a whole to hang with a strong program like Okemos. “Okemos can be a little intimidating, so we felt it was important for our girls to continue to give us a great effort right up until the end, and that is just what they did. We were very pleased and proud of all of the girls tonight and are looking forward to some great meets to come,” Brewbaker said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Suzie Fromson St. Johns Spray Park Committee

Tea Party is not extreme I have noticed an increasing amount of letters to the editor hostile to the Tea Party and what it represents. The best I can tell, the Tea Party reminds the country and its politicians that our government is to be run according to the US Constitution. The Tea Party also points out that as a country, we are spending dangerously more than we make. What is extreme about either position? If we feel it is important enough to make our politicians take an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, then why should we not expect them to obey it? Rick Robbe St. Johns

Dance team appreciates support The St. Johns Dance Team would like to thank everyone who supported us during our recent fundraiser during the Mint Festival as we operated a food booth in the city park.

Additionally, we thank Biggby Coffee, Mancino’s of Owosso (Bill Henning), The Country Store, Kroger, McDonald’s, The Knights of Columbus, Burger King, and Barber’s Floors & More for use of their trailer.

Miller did a great job, will be missed I would like to take a minute to thank Dave Miller for the wonderful job he did for the past 20 plus years as superintendent at Mount Rest Cemetery. He was never too busy to take care of any problems that may have come up. He was pleasant to deal with and always had a smile and wave for you when you saw him. He took great pride in the way the cemetery looked and in the personal care he gave everyone. Being part of the local community, made him a great asset because he knew the families and cared not only for their grave sites but for the families themselves. The cemetery won’t be the same without Dave. We sure will miss him. Mary Jane Gillson St Johns

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Clinton County News

Miller will be missed at Mt. Rest After 28 years of being “The Guardian” of those we have loved and lost, Dave Miller will be missed, not that he has retired. Words cannot express all the hard work and loving care he has done, over the years, to make Mt. Rest Cemetery the neatest and best one ever. He kept the grounds mowed, and trimmed and cleaned to perfection. The monuments, foundations and walkways have been taken care of. He knows where everyone is located in the whole cemetery. His book work has been kept neat and up to date.

September 18, 2011

He operated the computer like a pro. I just love to wonder through the cemetery, especially with the summer breeze, or the colors of autumn and sometimes plodding in the winter snows. It brings me a wonderful sense of peace. Dave was always there through the years to help us through the most difficult time of our lives, losing our loved ones. He hot only helped us pick out the right resting place, but also was ready to help if we needed anything else. He was always there in the background, at the grave-side service, to lend support or a much needed hug. Oh, how I needed that hug. Dave was instrumental in starting and fighting to keep alive the Avenue of Flags. What an awesome sight that is. On the days that those flags fly, snapping a salute in the wind to those who have served and died, just takes my breath away and brings tears to my eyes. What a wonderful tribute and reminder to honor those who had served and those who are still serving to protect our freedom. These flags speak volumes of works and emotions. These flags have spoken of and shared pictures across the United States. So I salute Dave and say thank you for all his accomplishments in making Mt. Rest Cemetery on that your community can be proud of. Enjoy your grandkids and I wish you the best in your retirement. Jan Matter, St. Johns

Gold, Silver Jewelry RARE COINS & SETS f or sale: One includes complete 1956-2011 US Mint Proof Coins. In the fall of 2010, this set had a Red Book retail of $1,094.50. In mid-September, 2011, the retail value of the set is now $1,964.90 with the surge in gold & silver. I would consider the best offer over $1,300.00. I have a 1909 "VDB" US Penny rated by PCGS as MS64RB, then an 1885 CC Morgan Silver Dollar in BU, the 2nd lowest mintage of ALL Morgan Silver Dollars (228,000) valued at approx. $1,300.00 +. The end of an era set with a ’63 Franklin 50 cent piece & a ’64 Kennedy 50 cent piece both rated by NGC in PR67. There’s an 1878 "7" tail feather Uncirculated Morgan Silver Dollar & finally a True American ARTIFACT Recovered from beneath the World Trade Center, at Ground Zero, from 9-112001. There was over $200 million in Gold & Silver coins locked in vaults beneath the WTC. This coin is 1 of few that survived in such great condition. Only the renowned PCGS Coin Firm was granted entry to verify the Authenticity & the Grade of each coin. The coin I have for sale is Rated a "2001" $1 Silver Eagle PCGS Gem Unc, 9-1101, WTC Ground Zero Recovery Artifact. It comes with 2 other priceless items. The 1st is a 2011 "W" (West Point Mint) $1 Silver Eagle PCGS graded PR70DCAM. A proof 70 deep cameo is the most perfect condition that any coin can be graded & the 2nd item is a coffee table book of the World wide events that have taken place since that fateful day 10 years ago. The 3 come together as a set, the Artifact from below Ground Zero, the Perfect Coin struck this very year, & the book highlighting events of 10 years. I have other coins & sets for sale, if you are seriously interested, you may call me on my cell phone at (517)-5250218. You will have to leave a message, but I will call you ASAP. Please leave your phone # twice, so I am sure to get it. I must insist we meet at Dart bank in either Mason or South Holt. The coins are normally stored there & it would be safer to conduct business there for all of us involved.
