hen cold winds blow, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essential to take extra steps to protect your health. There are a number of techniques that can help keep your immunity high and your body in good condition to support wellness all season long so that you can enjoy the chillier months. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no magic formula for feeling your best, but consulting your health care provider is always a good idea when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re contemplating new ideas to promote better health.

Additionally, winter brings fewer hours of sunlight during the day, and per the National Sleep Foundation, darkness naturally causes the brain to release melatonin, a hormone that triggers sleepiness. Exercise can counteract this drowsiness, as the endorphins released through physical activity cause a natural increase in energy levels. Studies show that endorphins can also elicit positive feelings and reduce the perception of pain, which can lower stress levels to help keep you mentally and physically well.
Spice up your routine with herbal supplements Whether to supplement your diet with additional YLWDPLQV DQG QXWULHQWV RU WR JLYH \RX D VSHFLÂżF targeted boost, herbal supplements can help support overall health. For example, the supplement turmeric, derived from root extracts of the Curcuma longa plant, is widely regarded to have numerous positive health implications. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since 2013, turmeric has dominated the market as the top-selling ingredient in herbal supplements,â&#x20AC;? said Chris Oswald, licensed nutritionist at Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As research on turmeric grows, consumers continue to recognize WKH KHDOWK EHQHÂżWV RI WKLV DPD]LQJ ERWDQLFDO ´ Turmeric can be added to several foods, but to ensure a steady, adequate dose, Oswald recommends a turmeric-based herbal supplement, like the Turmerich line from Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Way. The line combines a blend of premium ingredients in two unique formulas, Turmerich Heart and Turmerich Joint. Both supplements feature turmeric extract along with a strong suite of herbal and specialty ingredients for comprehensive, targeted support. Each supplement uses 400 milligrams of standardized turmeric root extract per serving to boost ingredient potency, maximizing SRWHQWLDO KHDOWK EHQHÂżWV

Beyond a good nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep, be sure to take some mental downtime, too, to minimize stress and anxiety, both of which can have a negative impact on your health.

A Positive Path to a Healthy New You (Family Features) For many people, the New Year brings the resolve to just say no to indulgent food and drink, to inactivity and to a host of other unhealthy habits. However, you can also approach your reset with balance and positive thinking. This can be your year to say “yes” and rework the all-or-nothing mentality, which can be a more mindful way to reach your goals. From eating with purpose to finding healthier options for tasty meals, making small changes can help you reap rewards throughout the year. Start 2018 with a clean slate of practical and a ainable eating goals that are realistic for the life you want to lead by shopping at a grocery store like ALDI, a one-stop shop with a wide selection of high-quality, affordable food choices. Whether you follow a paleo, plant-based or organic eating plan, all of the following nutritious options can be incorporated into your lifestyle and budget for less than $20: • SimplyNature Organic Coconut Oil: This trendy ingredient can elevate be er-for-you recipes like this Cranberry Orange Chia Granola. You can also use it as a replacement for bu er or vegetable oil because it’s a versatile choice for both sweet and savory dishes. • SimplyNature Chia Seeds: Use chia seeds to top your smoothie, overnight oats or make chia pudding in the morning for an easy way to power up the most important meal of the day. Chia seeds serve up protein, fiber and antioxidants. • Earth Grown Black Bean or Veggie Burgers: If you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, or just want to join the Meatless Monday movement, black bean burgers are one option to try. • Earth Grown Vegan Shredded Cheese: This dairy-free cheese is a tasty addition to vegan recipes. • SimplyNature Organic Popcorn: Movie nights call for popcorn, and this organic version can quickly become a family favorite. Each serving provides 3 grams of both fiber and protein. Part of making healthy choices includes finding quick and easy recipes. Discover how easy it is to make fresh meals at home with this be er-for-you recipe and find more options at aldi.us.

HISTORICAL NOTEBOOK by Frank Passic Albion Historian
A PARTING POEM ABOUT THE STONE MILL
A very Merry Christmas to my readers of this column. Thank you for your support and for ge ing to me old photographs, directories, yearbooks, and other Albion history items which I use in my research. With all of the building construction going on in downtown Albion this past year and continuing, I’d like to present an article I prepared a year ago but couldn’t “fit it in” at the time. Occasionally in my research I’ll come across something outof-the-ordinary. This week I’d like to present a poem I came across. In 1916, the 1845-built 3 ½ story landmark Jesse Crowell Stone (flour) Mill in downtown Albion was extensively reconstructed into the Commercial & Savings Bank, 207 S. Superior St. The la er opened on Jan. 1, 1917. [Note: Today it is the Huntington Bank]. Local newspaper Albion Leader editor William B. Gildart (18481918) composed and published a poem as part of an “obituary” for the Mill. We are republishing it here. From our Historical Notebook this week we present an 1857 drawing of the Mill, shown on the left. The original Mill office (present-day site of Fedco) is on the right. Enjoy, and again, Merry Christmas!
THE OLD STONE MILL We have no strange or mystic shrines, No temples here moss-grown with age. The new is old ere yet it lines Are fairly traced on history’s page
That din was heard through three score years; A ractive was its whirring sound. T’was music to the pioneers Who se led in the country ‘round.
Man rears a solid work of rock He quarries from the native soil A structure that should bear the shock Of grinding Time’s relentless toil.
A city from a hamlet grew The Stone Mill made the daily flour Of toiling hundreds—they who do And dare to be a city’s power.
Within those gray, protecting walls Man’s cunning craft is deftly plied. His labor done; the master calls Down the long race the pent-up tide.
But Time no temp’ring mercy knows; His with’ring hand is over all; All are but midgets ‘neath his blows, And men and things before him fall.
That tide was but the living blood Poured into artery and vein Of iron, and stone and steel and wood, Conceptions of master brain.
‘Twas so with him whose fertile brain Conceived the thought, the structure reared; ‘Twill be the same—O, sad refrain! Now that his work has disappeared.
The purring wheels begin to turn; The throb and hum of life begin; A Fancy’s child has thus been born To live and thrive within that din.
The Stone Mill, first a Fancy thought, The mind of man containing. Will be once more an airy naught Fond Memory retaining. William B. Gildart
Homer Area Community Foundation endowment grows The Homer Area Community Foundation Board of Directors recently announced that the Foundation’s assets have reached $3 million, a major milestone in their history. However, that $3 million is not the amount the Foundation has to distribute. Rather, it is the pool of money the Foundation has to invest. Earnings from those investments are
troduced earlier this year by the treasurer’s office to raise awareness of the importance of ge ing dogs licensed, and increase the number of owners who get their pets licensed. The campaign is named for Lilly, a border collie and German shepherd mix who is the face of the county’s program. Lilly’s owner, Heather Holbrook, works in the Treasurer’s Office. All dogs aged four months or older are required to be licensed by the county. How-
ever, Ba le Creek residents do not need to license their pets with the county as the city has its own licensing program. Owners must provide proof of a rabies vaccination. “One-year licenses expire on Dec. 31, so we encourage owners with a one-year license to renew it today and avoid paying extra fees,” Wensauer said. Owners purchasing a oneyear license before March 1 for a dog that has been spayed
A pair of January 2018 events will honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. On Monday, Jan. 15 (the MLK holiday), Albion College will host he third-annual Day of Dialogue and Service in the Washington Gardner Auditorium, 401 E. Michigan Ave.; two weeks later, on Monday, Jan. 29, the college and community will come together at the Bohm Theatre, 201 S. Superior St., for the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Convocation and Community Celebration. The MLK Day of Dialogue and Service, scheduled to begin at 9 a.m., will feature Skot Welch, Albion College Class of 1990, as keynote speaker. Welch has spent the past 20 years helping churches, municipalities, nonprofits and industry leaders develop sustainable and measurable diversity initiatives. An expert in organizational diversity manage-
local community, is present to support the individual during the process and to provide transportation to the identified treatment facility. “The opioid epidemic is real and we all need to do our part to stop it,” stated Col. Kriste Kibbey Etue, director of the MSP. “More people in Michigan die from drug overdoses than car crashes, and the Angel Program is one way the Michigan State Police is helping to reduce drug demand and serve those struggling with this deadly addiction.” The Angel Program first launched in October 2016 at the MSP Gaylord Post. Since then it has expanded across the state, most recently becoming operational in metro Detroit. To date, 37 people have been admi ed to treatment through the program. “The addiction epidemic is impacting every commu-
nity in our state and having the Angel Program available across Michigan will help families struggling with addiction have more second chances and fewer funerals,” said Lt. Gov. Brian Calley. “Congratulations to the Michigan State Police and everyone involved in expanding this life-saving program for this national problem.” The Angel Program is made possible thanks to a partnership with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services’ Prepaid Inpatient Health Plans, private donations and a grant from P.A.A.R.I. (the Police Assisted Addiction and Recovery Initiative). P.A.A.R.I. is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to support the Gloucester Police addiction initiatives, aid other police departments to implement similar programs, and foster a dialogue around
ment, Welch recently served as vice president of benchmarking services and analysis for DiversityInc magazine, where he was responsible for new industry development and best-practices analysis within the Fortune 500. Welch’s remarks will be followed by breakout discussions and the opportunity to participate in service projects in the community. Lunch on the Albion College campus, in Lower Baldwin Hall, will conclude the event. The MLK Convocation and Community Celebration, at the Bohm on Jan. 29, will start at 7 p.m. Michael Williams, Albion College Class of 1978, former mayor of the City of Albion and a current Albion College trustee, will deliver the convocation address. Williams currently serves as president and CEO of Orchards Children’s Services, Michigan’s premier foster-care
and adoption agency. He has spent much of his career in youth development, with special focus on disadvantaged children and teens. Williams served two terms as Albion’s mayor in the 1990s and is a past member of the Albion College Alumni Association Board. He has also been inducted twice into the Albion College Athletic Hall of Fame, and received the Distinguished Alumni Award in 1997. Both events are open to the entire Albion community. For more information and to register for the Day of Dialogue and Service, visit the Albion College Office of Intercultural Affairs website or call 517/6290501. For more information on the MLK Convocation and Community Celebration, contact the Gerald R. Ford Institute for Leadership in Public Policy and Service, one of the event’s co-sponsors, at 517/629-0368.

Doors open at 5 p.m., dinner served at 5:30 p.m., program starts at 6. Keynote Speakers will be Sheryl Mitchell, Albion City Manager and Mayor Garre Brown.

Opioid Addiction Assistance Program expands statewide Angel Program now available at all 30 MSP posts
The Michigan State Police Angel Program, which is a pre-arrest diversion program for persons struggling with drug addiction, is now active and operational at all 30 MSP posts statewide. Those seeking treatment can go to any MSP post during business hours, 8 a.m. - 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. The Angel Program, which is modeled after a similar initiative developed in 2015 by the Gloucester, Massachuse s Police Department, allows someone with a drug addiction to walk into a state police post to seek help for their addiction, without the fear of arrest or investigation. If accepted into the program, the individual is guided through a professional substance abuse assessment and intake process to ensure proper treatment placement. An “Angel” volunteer, who is a member of the
the new Homer Library in 2001 have been funded since its establishment in 1994. The HACF was founded as an affiliate of the Ba le Creek Community Foundation in 1994. The Homer Area Community Foundation was created to serve as a catalyst to develop and administer permanent resources to address the needs of the Homer Area.

Give your pet the gift of safety this holiday season Calhoun County dog licenses on sale now through Feb. 28 Calhoun County Treasurer Brian Wensauer is encouraging dog owners throughout Calhoun County to ensure their pet’s safety by purchasing a 2018 dog license. “A dog license is a great way to ensure your pet will be returned to you, safe and sound, if it ever wanders off or gets lost,” said Wensauer. “We want all dogs in Calhoun County to be ‘Licensed like Lilly.’” #LicensedLikeLilly is a social media campaign in-
given back to the community through grants, or awarded as scholarships to help young people succeed. The Homer Area Community Foundation has reinvested more than $2.1 million back into the community.
