Middle school is a challenging time forstudents as they merge into one class aftersix years at elementary schools across thedistrict.
Getting them to work and learn togetheris the job of new Sashabaw Middle SchoolPrincipal Elizabeth Walker and AssistantPrincipal Jennifer Johnson.
"It's important to set up the rightatmosphere at the start so they can congealas a class in the two years they're here," saidWalker, who joined Clarkston CommunitySchools in 2011 as assistant principal at thehigh school.
"This is a large school � it can be astruggle for students," said Johnson, whoserved as interim principal last year. "It's ananxious time, as they make friends andbecome part of Sashabaw Middle School. Ilove the age. This is a great place to be."
The administrative team�s plans toaccomplish their mission includes anintroductory camp for the kids. They'll alsoform students and teachers into teams sothey can work with the same people as muchas possible and get to know each other.
"We'll keep it as small as possible forstudents and staff," Walker said.
They'll continue to focus onimplementing Culture of Thinking at the
middle school through professionaldevelopment training for teachers.
"It's teaching students how to learn,"Walker said. "We'll review why it is important,why we do it, the steps involved inimproving instruction. We'll break downwhat works well and what changes to focuson."
Teachers will also keep journals, reflectingon their development and recording ideas toshare with each other.
"We'll plan out what it looks like in thefirst few days of school," Johnson said. "Ifwant kids do it, we have to do it as adults."
Walker learned a lot as assistant principalat Clarkston High, experiences she'll use atthe middle school.
"I learned about the culture of Clarkstonschools, its values and ideas, and a lot aboutthe community," she said. "As large as it is,Clarkston is a community with a family-oriented feel, a small town atmosphere. It�sfantastic."

He said he is proud of Clarkston, has beenactive in the community for 40 years andowned a small business in the area for morethan 27. He is an administrator in ClarkstonCommunity Schools and has worked as ateacher in both Clarkston and Waterfordschools.
He also has roots in and knows theWaterford area well.
Tedder said it was last fall last year whenhe first began debating the idea of runningfor office. He announced his candidacy inJanuary.
During the cold winter months, he wasbusy attending grassroots organizations andgroups like the Independence RepublicanClub. He attended fundraisers and ClarkstonChamber of Commerce events. He madephone calls, and filled out lots of question-naires. �You would not believe how manyquestionnaires I received," he recounted.
One thing he promises to never forgot isthe importance of the average citizen, every-one he meets and everyone he speaks with.
When it came to the close race with fellowRepublican Andrea Schroeder, he said all heknew in his heart and spirit was he worked ashard as he could.
�When you come that close to anothercandidate, just 160 votes in a five way race,it�s very humbling,� he said.
This is Tedder�s first experience in thepolitical world.
�I believe in limited government, integrityand honesty,� he said. �That will never
Tedder vs. Ritter for state house seatchange. I am not in-volved in a lot of poli-tics. I am who I am. Iwill never ignore ordeemphasize thepeople here.�
He said he hasknown his opponentDennis Ritter for manyyears, and is close tothe Ritter family.
�I have a lot of re-spect for Dennis andhis family,� he said.
Ritter, a life-long area resident, said hehas been around the block few times when itcomes to the political world and government.
�I have been through political battles be-fore,� he said. �This is going to be a toughone, but I am really looking forward to theNovember race.�
In 1976, he won the race for WaterfordTownship Board member. In 1978, he ran fortownship treasurer, and won. He served asWaterford�s treasurer for 10 years.
Then in 1988, it was time for the big race.He ran for, and won, the job of WaterfordTownship supervisor, a position he servedfor eight years.
In 1996, he lost a bid for reelection as su-pervisor, so he got out of the political arenafor a while.
Ritter served as City of the Village ofClarkston manager from 2008 until he retiredin 2013.
Now, he said, it�s time to get to work inLansing.
�I am going to work hard and get my mes-sage out to citizens,� he smiled. �So they
know where I stand on issues."Issues Ritter feels are important include
fixing road and infrastructure problems fac-ing the area. �We need to fix these problemsas soon as possible,� he said. �We also needfunding for education. My preference is tomaintain local control of education.�
Ritter said he is concerned with Proposal14-1, because he feels tax revues will not beproperly replaced in communities that havelost income.
Ritter said he is in favor of McLaren Hos-pital development in Clarkston on SashabawRoad, and would like to meet with McLarenrepresentatives. �It would be good for thearea and bring a lot of professional jobs," hesaid.
Ritter said he is excited to meet with lawmakers in Lansing and voters can always ex-pect transparency to the fullest.

It might be hard to believe but it is time- time for fall sports.
Despite the low temperatures and rainydays August has arrived and this weekmarks tryouts for athletes participating infall sports and football players going backto the field with two practices a day.
Many gridiron heroes are returningfrom last year's season pumped to repeatthe success from 2013 - MHSAA Division1 State Champions.Newbies on the team arehoping to help them outand get back to FordField.
You have a chance tosee them before seasonopener game. TheWolves will play thisSaturday in their pre-season intrasquad scrimmage. It is aspecial scrimmage because it is also theboys' sixth annual Football for a Cure.
Many of you know the boys trade intheir blue and gold jerseys for blue andpink as they play the game of football andfight against cancer at the same time.
Each player has a nameplate or two onthe back of their jerseys with a name ofsomeone who has cancer, survivors andthose who have passed away.
Most of the people the players areplaying for are family members or friendsand chose that person for a particularreason.
Every jersey has a story. Over the lastfew weeks as well as this week TheClarkston News has featured one player.It happened Hampton Swayne, Joe Poppand Will Scarlett are playing for agrandparent.
Each of the three were excited headinginto the event not only to play for a lovedone but for the community. All proceedsraised during the event help patientservices at McLaren Breast Cancer andMcLaren Cancer Institute in Clarkston.
It is a great event. Plus, it is a peek intohow the boys look as they start their roadto playoffs.
Since the Wolves enjoy helping thecommunity that supports them. They willbe out in neighborhoods next Friday fortheir annual Rush for Food and will collectnon-perishable food for Lighthouse inIndependence Township.
We will have a list of neighborhoodslisted in next week�s edition. Or you aremore than welcome to drop off donationsat our office, 5 S. Main Street. We have abig container to fill for the Wolves.

Road project overdueDear Editor,
With all the ongoing work in downtownon the sidewalks, I would like to have seen amore appropriate crosswalk put in at E.Church/Depot and Main Street. Somethingalong the lines of what they do in Rochester.If someone is in the crosswalk, you stop andthat person/persons cross the street.
Plus it slows people down, which is muchneeded downtown! The speed limit signsthese days are just a memory or a suggestion.This has been an overdue project for a longtime since a lot of people like to cross thereversus going down to Washington. I wouldlike it and I would hope others would, too!

Dear Editor,Congratulations to Julie Meredith, direc-
tor of the Clarkston Independence DistrictLibrary, and to everyone on the library staff,the Friends of the Library and the LibraryYes! Committee on Tuesday�s election. Notonly a victory, but an overwhelming one. Wethink it says volumes about what a great li-brary we have here in our community. It alsoshows what a lot of dedicated people work-ing together can do. Let the good times con-tinue!

Dear Editor,A collection of jewels: that is what makes
the City of the Village of Clarkston so uniqueand appreciated.
You have the romantic block of vintagehomes fronted by a canopy of arching trees,reminding us of the grandeur of yesteryear.
Then you have the intriguing and invitingcollection of older buildings, occupied by adiversity of businesses, located on anothertwo blocks of roadway.
Together, these settings, these jewels, arethe center - the Main Street - of a small com-munity of neighborhoods, other jewels, con-sisting of a catalogue of (mostly) individualhomes of varying eras and styles of architec-ture. Framed again by many mature trees.
And there are ponds and lakes amongthese structures and scenes, anchored by asmall but sprawling well maintained park. Thepark is the site of concerts, picnics, ice skat-ing, weddings, play structures, and solitude.
The community is one of the few placeswhere you can walk almost anywhere, haveeasy access to major roadways in all seasons(assuming you clear your driveway of snow),and use every form of services - such aschurches, schools, library, fire protection, po-lice, recreation, and an adult activity center.
Most importantly, some really wonderfulpeople live within the half-mile area which isthe city. There are different ages, families, in-terests, and character - all of which adds tovibrancy of the community.
Clarkston has jewels. But, we must con-tinue to polish them or they will lose their lus-ter. We are experiencing an increase in law-lessness (everyone has an example); the treesare wearing out (some need pruning, othersreplacing); various things need to be repaired(park bridge, sidewalks); there are no housingoptions for those want to downsize and stayhere; downtown parking is a problem; there islimited (selective?) enforcement of laws, ordi-nances, and codes.
What do we do? We decide what are thepriorities for the future of our community; howthat future is to be funded; who will be en-trusted with the management of our prioritiesand our funds. How do we do this: we vote!We use our democratic process of representa-tive government by electing those who willtry to do what we want them to do.
Now, we will not agree completely on anyof these choices. So, we accept the democraticprinciple of majority rule, and hold our repre-sentatives accountable by expecting open-ness, honesty, and transparency.

Congrats on vote
Dear Editor,I am offended by the rant of the once
esteemed publisher, James Sherman, Sr.(�President�s plan pocked with lies, notleadership,� July 30). I would expect suchunfounded trite from Fox News, not from aman of education.
What explains the rage against PresidentObama, but silence when Bush and Cheneylied us into unnecessary unfunded war wherethousands died and suffered in vain? Theeconomy collapsed and many lost theirhomes and livelihood.
Why is the president who captured BinLaden, ended wars, and gave us neededhealthcare, scorned? What does it take tosatisfy his critics? He can�t change his color.
I prefer a black man over a scoundrel.I predict history will judge him
respectfully, honor his presidency, andrename some schools and roads, �Obama.�

From politics thatproclaim transparency, to universitiessupporting a political party, to lawmak-ers� unending orations and pleadings formore money to solve every problem.
That FREEP story reported FordMotor Compnay wrote the questions fora testing, and they also graded them. Oth-ers companies did the same.
WHAM!It hit me. Companies, academia, our
government, our military, VA, IRS, etal,have likely been lying and misinform-ing me since my adulthood.
The leaders didn�t attend my 1-room
school, and I never got out of it�s teach-ings.
Innocence, naivete and total trustingnow all seems gone. In many cases, gonetoo are many religions.
Those haven�t changed for me, thoughI was never allowed to attend churchwhile at home, my mother's life andteachings have prevailed. There is myGod Jesus Christ and their religious lead-ers who proclaim �convert, pay a fine orbe assassinated.�
I know, I know my TV has an off but-ton, and I use it with increasing fre-quency, but then I miss comedic rerunsand old mysteries.
I�ve got to learn how to use recordingdevices, but with 87 years gone maybe Ishould think of taking more naps.
Or work on 1-liners:
Whatever you do in life give it 100%(unless you�re giving blood).
The grocery bag that breaks first isthe one with the eggs.
Food: If you can�t spell it or pro-nounce it, don�t eat it.

A column byDon Rush
Don�tRush Me
Last month was Community Paper Month here inMichigan and across the vast fruited plains o� America.We had a contest for folks to write an essay on commu-nity papers and got some good ones, too.
One that was late (more on that one later) didn�tmake the cut for the 50 greenbacks I dangled as a car-rot to get folks to write. Those green-backs were hard earned by me and asthe cheapest guy in town it did painme just a little when I pried open mywallet to dole them out to the contestwinner (more on her later, too).
The late entry, written by a Vanessawasn�t really an essay at all. ThisVanessa actually wrote a song aboutthe lonely newspaperman, who sitshigh atop his ivory tower, watching theworld he covers. Watching, waiting.
Here�s the song. Read it, and if any-one can come up with a good title forthe song and lay down some solidmusical licks to go with, let me know. I won�t give you50 bucks, but when you die you can rest assured I ap-preciated your efforts in theme song making.

Thank you, Vanessa. Me likey.Now, as promised above, more on the contest winner,
Diane DeClerck. Ever the self promoter, I ignobly askedDiane to come in to collect her $50 winnings. I couldhave mailed it to her, or left it in an envelope for her topickup at her leisure. Oh no, I would have none of that.
If I was gonna give away 50 smackareenos I wantedsomething in return, I wanted a picture with the winnerthat I could use in this week�s column. More picture equalsless words. The less words needed to fill my column spaceleaves me more time to do other stuff. And, as authorStephen King knows, all work and no play makes Don adull boy.
I had it all planned out. The picture was good (thankyou Diane and photographer Andrea Beaudoin) and mylazy evil plan was working to perfection. Then Diane wentand done something unexpected. She declined her win-nings and instead asked me to donate it to the DevotedFriends Animal Society.
Rats. My evil (if not lazy) plan was thwarted by an actof do-goodness. Curses!
What could I do?I�m giving the money to the group, plus a little extra
public relations. This 100-percent volunteer group worksto find homes for unwanted pets. Volunteers can usuallybe found at the Pet Supplies Plus in Ortonville, Satur-days, 1-4 or on Facebook.

Sporting NewsClarkston’s This Saturday. . .Clarkston Gridiron Heroes host
Football for a Cure at the high schoolstadium, 7 p.m.
BY WENDI REARDONClarkston News Sports Writer
Clarkston High School senior WillScarlett is ready to begin the fall seasonand is proud to begin it on Saturday withFootball for a Cure.
The Clarkston Wolves Varsity Footballintrasquad pre-season scrimmage not onlyis a preview of the season for thecommunity but raises money for McLarenBreast Center and McLaren CancerInstitute - Clarkston.
Scarlett is playing for his GrandpaClyde, who had throat cancer, andGrandma Shari, who had skin cancer. Bothhave passed away.
�My grandpa meant quite a bit to me,�he said. �He passed away about three yearsago. He would spend the summers with us.He was my only grandpa I really spent alot of time with.�
His memories of his Grandpa Clydeinclude his grandpa showing up in themiddle of summers at their house.
�It was just awesome,� Scarlett said.�He would just be waiting in the drivewayfor us. Then, he would stay the week withus. He would always bring me somethingcool.�
His grandmother passed away when hewas seven-years-old.
�I love them,� Scarlett added.He looks forward to this Saturday�s
event for different reasons. The biggestbecause it is a good cause and all theproceeds go to patient services at McLarenBreast Center and McLaren CancerInstitute - Clarkston.
�That�s important,� he pointed out.Another reason it is pre-season game.�We are competing against each other,�
Scarlett said. �It�s really fun. I just have alot of fun going out there and playing.�
The event is more special because he isplaying for his grandparents.
�It makes the game more important,�
he explained.Scarlett and his teammates invite the
community to come out for Football for aCure.
�It is going to a great cause,� he said.�The Clarkston community loves sportsand we had a great season last year. Thefans are a big contributor to our success.�
Last year�s successful season endedwith the Wolves claiming MHSAADivision 1 State Champions. Scarletthelped in two positions as outsidelinebacker and tight end.

Records are meant to be broken and ath-letes in the Clarkston Football program arehoping to break the record of 6,397 poundsof food on Friday, Aug. 22.
The day is special because from 6-7 p.m.the program hosts its 17th Annual Rush forFood and collect non-perishable food in lo-cal neighborhoods for Lighthouse EmergencyServices in Independence Township.
�I love it,� smiled Joe Popp, a senior onthe Wolves� Varsity Football team. �Rush forFood is a blast. My key thing is food. Goodnutrition is key. I love to eat. So if I can get itfor other people - that�s fantastic.�
Lighthouse manager Holly Ellis added theevent comes at a perfect time as the shelvesbecome more bare because of summer dis-tribution.
�It is huge,� she said. �The food we getfrom Rush for Food will probably get usthrough to the holiday times when our nextbig distribution happens. Without it some ofour shelves would be bare. Without them wewouldn�t be able to serve the families we haveon a daily basis.�
Ellis added Lighthouse, off SashabawRoad, roughly helps 3,000 families through-out the year.
�Hunger is a year round program and wetry our best to combat it with our food pan-try,� Ellis said. �It is wonderful the commu-nity supports Lighthouse in the way it does.�
Popp remembered the first year he wasinvolved with the event. Freshman sort thefood as the upperclassmen bring it to Light-house. They also take it into the building andfill the shelves. But before the donations ar-rive freshman players take a tour of estab-lishment and see the nearly empty shelves.
�You see the before and after,� he ex-
Gridiron heroes rush for foodplained. �It is mind blowing because you re-alize they are running low and think there isno way we can fill up space. In one day thecommunity is able to donate and we are ableto fill the shelves.�
Besides the community coming togetherthe players are working together to give back,which Ellis enjoys seeing.
�Not only are we feeding the communitybut we are getting high school kids involved,�she added. �It�s important for them to be partof their community and making their com-munity better. You hope this experience forthem leads to them being adults helping theircommunity and making things better for ev-eryone. It�s nice to see how enthusiastic theyare and helping their community. Not onlytheir community but their classmates, theirteammates. They don�t know who is cominghere.�
�It feels great,� Popp smiled going intohis fourth year participating. �We are theworker bees. It is nice to see people are gladto go get their cans. They come back withbags. They are excited. They want to help.�
Popp added another reason he enjoys theevent is he gets to meet new people in thecommunity.
�Last year I met people who asked meabout how the team was looking,� he said.�We connect with the community. You don�tget that door-to-door as much.�
Players from the freshman, JV and var-sity Clarkston Football team will collect inneighborhoods from 6-7 p.m. (Please see nextweek�s edition for a list of neighborhoods.)
Two other ways to get involved is to dropoff donations at The Clarkston News office,5 S. Main Street, Monday through Friday, 8a.m. to 5 p.m.; or at Lighthouse, 6330Sashabaw Rd, in a bag labeled with Rush forFood/Clarkston Football.

Former Lady Wolf Kira Karlstrom hascome a long way since she was playing bas-ketball on the courts at Clarkston HighSchool.
The 2003 graduate became business de-velopment executive at Arsenal FX in July.Arsenal FX is a leading Visual Effects PostProduction studio specializing in high endcommercial finishing.
Karlstrom will oversee the design andanimation team. The team currently workson commercial content and she plans tobranch them out to broadcast events and liveevents.
"Anything television and animation," sheadded. "On air for television is in need forgraphics. Events are popping up all the time.Then, I am going out in more of a sales roleand getting the team in different networds andagencies to bring in more work."
Arsenal FX has done a wide range of com-mercials. Their work includes every Beats byDre commercial as well as Samsung Galaxy5 commercials, BMW, Coca-Cola,McDonald's, and State Farm.
"They have done a ton of work everyonehas seen," Karlstrom added. "We did all thosespots in 2013 for Chevy Silverado."
She was led to Arsenal FX after meetingwith Mark Leiss, the managing partner atArsenal.
"I thought Arsenal was a really great com-pany with a lot of fantastic work," she said."There was a lot of potential to grow thereand a lot of potential to expand the work theycurrently do."
Karlstrom added her work with ESPN, asa producer and art director, and Marvel En-tertainment, where she helped develop andmanage the Live Events Division, will helpout at Arsensal FX.
"My experience with ESPN was like bootcamp in a sense," she said. "It was a greatlearning experience because it was a 24-hournetwork. Everything I was doing was 24-hours, seven days a week. It was a lot of con-tent that needed to be filled and a lot of thingsto work on."
She added when she was working forMarvel Entertainment and ESPN she usedto hire companies like Arsenal FX, now sheis on the other side.
"Working with companies like Marvel andESPN I know what they expect. I know whatlevel and what quality everything needs tobe at and how to present the work," she ex-
plained. "It has really given me an advan-tage up front."
While Karlstrom was attending ClarkstonHigh School she spent half her day at Oak-land Technical Center at the Northwest cam-pus taking a visual arts design class.
After graduating from Clarkston,Karlstrom played basketball at Drexel Uni-versity in Pennsylvania as she studied graphicdesign.
She also played in Romania and studiedat Full Sail University for her Business En-tertainment Masters.
Then, she applied for a position at ESPN."They called me. I think it was because I
was an athlete and being an art major is veryrare," Karlstrom said. "I never expectedmyself to be in television. I didn�t have anyaspirations to be in television. The more Iwas at ESPN the more passionate I was about it."
Karlstrom is also a motivational speakerfor the Jimmy V Foundation and Coaches vs.Cancer.
"It is important to tell my story," Karlstromsaid, explaining she was diagnosed with can-cer in 2009 and after battling it was clearedin October 2010.
"The biggest thing is keeping a positiveattitude. There are a lot of kids who have beenthrough a lot worse than I have, even adults.Being able to speak and understand some ofthe things they are going through and be amotivation or be someone to talk to has beenreally rewarding. The amount of people I metwas amazing."

An orthodontic screening nolater than age seven enables the orthodontist to detect andevaluate problems that exist, advise if treatment will be necessary,and determine the best time for the treatment. Early detection ofany orthodontic problems is important in order to take earlycorrective action and avoid more difficult treatment later.

Q: I’ve got unpaid collections on my credit report. Should I pay them off before I apply for a mortgage?A. Not so fast! Unpaid collection do not necessarily need to be paidoff as a condition of getting a mortgage loan approved. For example,on FHA loans, a borrower can have up to $2000 in aggregate unpaidcollection accounts before they are required to pay off or resolvethem. Furthermore, medical bill collections are excluded from thattotal. Any potential mortgage applicant should talk to a knowledge-able mortgage professional and have them review their credit reportBEFORE they start to payoff derogatory credit items. A qualified LoanOfficer should be able to identify which accounts need to be paid offor resolved to ensure that the loan meets loan program requirements.

Whether we think about it or not, in thelast 20 plus years since we experienced ourK-12 schooling, a lot has changed aroundus.
Our kids are much different from us�then.� What they know and how they viewthe world may make them different learnerswith different needs and expectations. Whatknowledge and thinking do we want for ourchildren growing up in the world that isglobalized, networked, informed, anddiverse?
On July 29-31, 2014, seven ClarkstonCommunity Schools principals accompaniedour superintendent Dr. Rod Rock to HarvardUniversity for an intense four-day Future ofLearning Institute global educationalexploration.
This could have a lasting effect on howour children experience learning here, inClarkston. Through interactive courses,learning group work, and the plenarysessions, our administrators, alongsideeducators from around the world,investigated three important advances thatinfluence learning today and tomorrow:globalization, the digital revolution, andincreasing understanding of the processesallowing the brain to learn.
Clarkston is no longer a small community;it�s part of the large world. Globalization (theaccelerating traffic of people, capital, andcultural products around the world) is as realas it has ever been.
As parents, how do we want our schoolsprepare our children to participate ininterconnected societies? How do we wanteducation respond to changing sense ofcitizenship, belonging, and responsibility toothers? What competencies matter most?
�David Perkins asks us to think aboutknowledge that disappears. How can wechange those lessons so knowledge willlast? What matters most to learn? A simpleand powerful question that drives what wedo in preparing children for tomorrow,�shared Springfield Plains Elementaryprincipal Nancy Mahoney via Twitter.
As David Perkins, Research Professor ofTeaching and Learning at the HarvardGraduate School of Education, pointed out,a lot of what we usually learn at schoolbeyond basic literacies gets forgotten as itdoes not contribute much to our lives. Itseems reasonable that instead of educatingonly for the known�the usual facts andskills�our children also need to be educatedfor the unknown, for the types of thinkingand understanding that will help them excel
in the future.To be meaningful, learning should bring
insight, inspire action in learner�s life or inthe world, raise ethical issues with whichone can grapple, or have the potential to beused in the future. It should be emotional
and personal in relevancyto one�s life. It should servechildren�s needs today orin their future.
Of course, our kids are a�digital� generation.Leveraging today�stechnology to serveeducational needs issomething we have beenattempting even at home.
Mimi Ito, a culturalanthropologist of
technology use from the University ofCalifornia, Irvine, stated that an average teensends around 3,400 texts per month andspends seven hours online daily.
Connected learning is a potentialapproach to meet this end. It allows a youngperson to pursue a personal interest withthe support of peers and caring adultsthrough social media and interactivetechnologies in a way that is beneficial tohis or her achievement at school.
As the Clarkston Schools work closelywith Ron Ritchhart, a senior researchassociate at Harvard Project Zero, onimplementing a Culture of Thinking, Dr. Rockhad an opportunity to attend this venue forthe last five years as a fellow or a leader of astudy group.
This year, a grant made it possible toexpand our district�s involvement. NorthSashabaw Elementary principal TaraOuellette served as a fellow, while Gary Kaul(Clarkston High School), Adam Kern(Clarkston Junior High School), GlennGualtieri (Bailey Lake Elementary), BrianAdams (Clarkston Elementary), Lisa Marion(Early Childhood Center), and NancyMahoney participated in a study group forprincipals.
All in all, regardless of concrete forms ofimplementation, our administration�s desireto look ahead and think of initiatives thatwill help our children succeed in the globalcommunity is rather commendable.
Even if we take schools out of the world,we cannot take the world out of our schools.And why should we?

Children begin learning to read earlyin their education. Very often some chil-dren seem to excel at reading and writ-ing, while others may struggle. The ob-stacles kids struggle with may disappearas they age and grow more accustomedto reading, but no such relief comes forkids struggling with dyslexia.
The Mayo Clinic defines dyslexia asa learning disorder characterized by dif-ficulty reading. It is a common conditionand does not mean a child has subparvision or intelligence. Dyslexia often goesundiagnosed, and many kids reach adult-hood before realizing they are dyslexic.According to Dyslexia Health, 70 to 80percent of people with poor reading skillsare likely to be dyslexic, and dyslexia isthe most common cause of difficultieswith reading, spelling and writing.
Dyslexia affects people in variousways. While some may experience onlyminor symptoms, others may havegreater difficulties, including problemswith grammar, recognizing left from rightand trouble with complex language skills.Without help, children with dyslexia caneasily grow discouraged with their stud-ies. However, with therapy, many kidscan learn to work around their dyslexia.
Causes of dyslexiaDyslexia has been linked to improper
genetic development in the brain. It tendsto run in families and affects the parts ofthe brain responsible for language devel-opment. There are no surefire ways topredict if a person will have dyslexia.However, in families with high rates ofthe condition, there is a greater risk.
SymptomsVery often it is difficult to recognize
dyslexia before a child enters school.There may be some early clues, but theseare not always definitive. Potential cluesinclude learning to talk late, having diffi-culty learning new words and exhibitingdifficulty rhyming words.
School-aged children may have troublewith sequences, following commands inorder, reading at the recommended level,processing and understanding, and/orseeing or writing letters or words in re-verse.
As children with dyslexia age, theymay have difficulty summarizing stories,managing time or learning a foreign lan-guage.
TreatmentThere are no medications to correct
the underlying brain abnormality that doc-
tors feel causes dyslexia, but there arevarious treatment methods. Practice andrepetition are some of the hallmarks ofdyslexia therapy. Rather than standardlessons, individuals with dyslexia mayneed multi-sensory lessons that combinesight, touch and sounds when introduc-ing new concepts. Screen readers andaudio books can also help children learnhow to read more effectively.
In the classroom, children may needmore time to complete assignments.Teachers should be made aware of adyslexia diagnosis so they can work withstudents and parents to develop a learn-ing system that works. Practicing read-ing different types of texts also can help.
Dyslexia is a common learning disabil-ity that affects many children and adults.But therapy and emotional support canhelp people with dyslexia overcome theirdisabilities.
Recognizing signs of dyslexia
Reading different types of texts, includ-ing newspapers, comics and books, canhelp children with dyslexia overcome someof their symptoms.

Music, science, fitness, math, reading, technology, art appreciation – sounds like a pretty busy day for an elementary school student.However, this is the schedule of a preschooler at The Learning Experience, a child day care center that prides itself on its awardwinning,cutting edge curriculum and professional, certified staff members.
Children at The Learning Experience in Clarkston are exposed to a solid core curriculum. The day is structured to include many educationalcomponents as well as free time and fun activities. Older children have a curriculum workbook that they use everyday and keep a journal.Most 4-year-olds at the center are reading, said owner Pam Rush.
“Our preschool is very academic,” she said.
In addition, children participate in enrichment programs such as Fun with Phonics, second language, art, sign language and more. A bonusthat many parents appreciate is that there are no fees for enrichment programs as the tuition is all-inclusive.
Families are invited to visit The Learning Experience from 6:30 am-6:30 pm. The Learning Experience serves children ages 6 weeks to 12years. Parents can learn about the programs available for children in all stages, including infants, toddlers and preschoolers. “There arevery limited openings for fall registration so don’t wait too long”, said Ms Pam.
The facilities at The Learning Experience are state-of-the-art. From the moment children and parents enter the building, they aregreeted by a warm and caring atmosphere that is clean and conducive to learning.
Ms Pam loves working with children and their families and makes sure her staff does too. Staff members have to have more than adegree and spotless qualifications; they must genuinely enjoy being around children and interacting with them.
“We are here to love other people’s children and keep them happy, safe and educated,” she said.
An indoor mini-village called Make Believe Boulevard encourages children to exploresocio-dramatic play. Ms Pam said their Make Believe Boulevard is one of the favoriterooms in the building. She said children absolutely adore dressing up and playing in themock house, store, diner and fire department. The carpeted upper level allows for somefree play and also has a slide that flows into a ball pit.
“At any given time, we’ll see kings, queens and princesses playing,” she said.“We have a lot of fun here.”
A team of professionals work together to coordinate the day’s activities for children.Everyone – from program and state certified lead teachers to the paraprofessionalsand on-site cook – have one goal: To build a strong foundation so each child candevelop emotionally, socially and cognitively at his or her own pace.
Parents concerned about safety and security can rest easy knowing that they’ve lefttheir children in good hands. A security system requires that the doors remain lockedall day with parents given a key to enter. Classrooms contain video monitoringsystems so both center administrators and parents can check in on the classregularly. In addition, all staff members undergo an extensive background check.

How to determine if returning to school makesfinancial sense (596 words, US, UK, CAN)
When the financial crisis of 2008 first arrived,many people found themselves in the unemploymentline. For some, unemployment proved a brief bump inthe road, while others endured several years ofunemployment before landing on their feet. Somemen and women who lost their jobs as a result of theeconomic downturn have still not found gainfulemployment.
Many individuals who find themselves out of workor unsatisfied by their current professions considergoing back to school to pursue an advanced degreeor to begin studies in an entirely new field. Anadvanced degree can help men and women furthertheir careers, while changing careers is often facili-tated by a degree in a different course of study. Butthe decision to return to school involves more than aperson�s career goals, especially if that person has afamily or other significant financial obligations. Thecost of a college education is considerable, but menand women can take steps prior to enrolling todetermine if returning to school makes financial sensefor them.
* Determine your eligibility for aid. Adults thinkingof going back to school may be eligible for financialaid. Older students returning to school won�t have toworry about their parents� income disqualifying themfrom financial aid, and they may even be moreeligible for need-based aid when returning to schoolthan they were when they initially enrolled as youngstudents. Older independent students may also beallowed to borrow more than younger students whoare considered dependent. Rules regarding eligibilityfor financial aid varies depending on where a personlives, but those in the United States can visitwww.fafsa.ed.gov for more information, whileCanadians can learn about financial aid atwww.canlearn.ca.
* Discuss financial aid with the university you planto attend. Unlike high school students who apply tomultiple colleges, adults going back to school typicallyvalue proximity when looking for a college or univer-sity in which to enroll. So it�s easy for adults to visit
their local college or university�s financial aid office inperson to discuss opportunities for grants or scholar-ships. Financial aid officers can point you in the rightdirection if you decide to fill out loan applications orhelp you find any scholarships that might be availableto adult students. Financial aid departments can beinvaluable resources to students of all ages, andgaining a greater understanding of the grants andscholarships available to you can help you determineif returning to school makes financial sense for youand your family.
* Determine how quickly you can repay studentloans. Few students can afford to attend collegewithout borrowing money. While younger studentshave a lifetime to repay student loans, older studentsdon�t have that luxury. As a result, older students
Does returning to school makes financial sense
must determine when they can realistically expect topay off their loans before they borrow any money. Ifloans can be repaid long before retirement, then areturn to school might make financial sense. But menand women who crunch the numbers and realize theywill be forced to make loan payments during theirretirement years might want to reconsider. A goodrule of thumb for adults considering a return to schoolis to borrow less the closer you are to retirement.
Many adults decide to return to school years afterthey established themselves in the professional arena.But as much as such decisions can reignite a forgot-ten passion or lead men and women down an excitingnew path, returning to school must also make finan-cial sense.

How to make your student’s school lunch healthierThe benefits of a healthy diet are
clear and well documented. In additionto providing the nutrients a growingbody needs, consuming a balanced diethelps children maintain a healthyweight. Obesity continues to be agrowing problem among school-agedchildren and can contribute to the onsetof type 2 diabetes, heart disease, highcholesterol, and many other adversemedical conditions.
Children attending school will eat atleast one meal away from home eachday. A healthy lunch provides soundnutrition to give students energy to dowell in school and for the rest of theday. Children who do not eat well atlunch may have difficulty concentrat-ing, while others may feel sluggish ortired.
As part of the 2010 Healthy, Hun-ger-Free Kids Act, the United StatesNational School Lunch Program wasrevised to guarantee healthy, nutrition-ally sound choices, as established bythe U.S. Department of Agriculture, forlunch. America�s school menus werealtered to be healthier than ever,including more fruits and vegetableswhile limiting calories. Despite somecontroversy through the years, includ-ing some students saying the smallerportions and food choices aren�talways satisfying, states suffering fromhigh child obesity rates have seenmarked improvements.
Canada is one of the few leadingindustrialized countries that does nothave a national nutrition strategy toimplement healthy school lunches. It�sestimated that only 10 to 15 percent ofCanadian children have access toschool meals. These meals are not
provided by a well-funded nationalprogram, but by a patchwork ofindividual volunteer efforts, someprovincial government funding andcorporate donations.
Whether students purchase lunchfrom school or bring lunch from home,there are ways to guarantee a morediverse offering and better nutrition.Here are some guidelines to follow.
* Offer nutrient-dense foods.Foods should contribute to the dailyrecommended amounts of protein, iron,calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin C.Provide a selection of foods, such as

lean protein, whole grains, fruits, andvegetables, that will give children thenutrients they need. Nutrient-densefoods also help kids feel fuller, longer.
* Limit fat intake. Avoid foods thatdo not get their fat from polyunsatu-rated and monounsaturated fats.Saturated fats can lead to obesity andclogged arteries. The American HeartAssociation recommends kids get nomore than 25 to 35 percent of theircalories from fat. Fish, nuts and olivesare healthy fat sources.
* Let kids choose some of theirfood. Allow kids to pick some of thehealthy foods they will be eating.Giving kids a say in their diets willmake them more likely to enjoy theirlunches and cut back on snack foods.Eating meals regularly will keep energylevels up during school and make kidsless likely to reach for unhealthy

You are driven by something. Right nowyou may be driven by a problem or a dead-line. You may be driven by guilt or fear or theneed to impress and succeed.
You think, �If I could just have that, if Icould just get there, then I would be happy.�Really? How�s that beenworking for Jesus told usthat he can free us from whatdrives us. He said that if hesets us free, we are genu-inely free. (John 8:36) Freeto love. Free to enjoy. Freeto give and live truly pro-ductive lives.
Maybe you�ve heard thenews. My HabitatClarkston, in conjunctionwith Habitat for Humanityof Oakland County, is build-ing a new home in Springfield Township, nearAndersonville Rd. Our church is privilegedand excited to be a part of this great cause.And it is exciting to see how the word isspreading and many businesses and peopleare participating as well.
But a caution about our motives: Why dowe give money and take time to serve? Is itbecause we are driven to impress people? Isit to pat ourselves on the back and feel betterabout ourselves? Perhaps. (We are all a mixed
bag of motives and emotions, aren�t we?).But from a faith perspective, our Lord Jesustaught us that we do not have to impresspeople or earn brownie points with God.
If we receive Christ into our lives, we knowthat we are already accepted, forgiven, andloved. Then why bother to do good �like MyHabitat Clarkston? The Apostle Paul tells us,Our people must learn to devote themselvesto doing what is good, in order to providefor urgent needs and not live unproductivelives. (Titus 3:14)
Once we know Christ �really know him �life becomes an adventure of loving, enjoy-ing, caring, and making a difference. We don�thave to be driven. Instead we are now called� called to find joy in living productive livesand helping others to live productive lives.
So what drives you? Have you askedChrist to free you? Accept his forgiveness.Receive his love. And then go and lovesomeone.Whether you follow Christ or not,this Habitat for Humanity Build is a great wayfor all of us to make life in Clarkston better foreveryone.
Information on the Habitat for Humanityhouse build can be found on Facebook. Goto My Habitat Clarkston. You can serve inmany different ways or make a donation.

What drives your life?
By Dave Belcher,Building & Planning Director
I get asked all the time what�s newgoing on in the community. The onlything I can say right now is WOW �WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS!
From a low of four new home build-ing permits in 2009, 170 new home per-mits were issued in 2013. While 2014is tracking a little lower, at around 125permits annualized, the big reason forthe drop is lack of availability. Hereare a few highlights of some of the majordevelopments in our community.
Eagle Ridge � Maybee RoadAfter 10 plus years, the Eagle Ridge
at Morgan Lake residential communityis finally getting off the ground. Approvedas a 230-unit residential neighborhood,Phase One will be breaking ground withinthe next couple of months with 66 newhomes. While the new development willnot have a golf course, other great ameni-ties should make Eagle Ridge a greatplace to raise a family.
Deerhill � Dixie Highway & I-75With 69 new, single family homes in
the plan, this parcel of property has alsotaken years to finally get an approvedconcept that works. Unique in that halfof the land was in Springfield Townshipand the other half in Independence, theDeerhill parcel was recently combinedinto one, under a recent intergovernmen-tal agreement established between Su-pervisors, Collin Walls from Springfieldand Pat Kittle from Independence.
Comfort Inn � Sashabaw & I-75A new 85 room hotel will be breaking
ground soon, just north of the NorthboundSashabaw / I-75 exit ramp. With a beau-tiful stone and brick exterior, a stand-alonerestaurant and plenty of parking just offthe I-75 ramp, this new facility will dothe community proud.
Office ComplexesA new 10,000 square foot office com-
plex was just completed off Waldon Cen-ter Drive and Town Center Drive. An-other 7,800 square foot office building hasjust been approved at the Powers OfficePark off Sashabaw across from the PineKnob / DTE entrance. And more con-cepts and development plans continue tobe submitted to the Township for consid-eration.
Other Cool StuffThe Waterford Hills Courts on Dixie
Highwat served the community for over40 years as an indoor racquetball club.The old racquetball facility is currentlyundergoing a major renovation, adding amicro-brewery and will be operating un-der a new name � the Clarkston Brew-
Homes, hotels and breweries, oh my!There’s a lot ofbuilding going onin IndependenceTownship
ery. With a planned grand opening stillfour to six months from now, this gath-ering area will add new meaning to thewords �working up a sweat.�
Will keep you updated as moreprojects are added to our list.
Mark Petterson (former TownshipTrustee) and son recently accepted thefirst check from the new IndependenceTownship Neighborhood Road Incentiveprogram on behalf of the Wealthy Streetresidents.
The Township recently approved anew incentive program to help offset thecost for neighborhoods wanting to repavetheir streets. This check for $7,852 rep-resents 5% of the total cost for this par-ticular project. The Township contribu-tion is capped at $15,000. With close to1,700 feet of street milled and repaved,the total cost of the Wealthy neighbor-hood project was $175,000 or about $100per linear foot.
The cost, financed through OaklandCounty, will be spread over the total num-ber of homes in the neighborhood for thenext ten years and added to their yearlytaxes.
New $50,000NeighborhoodRoad Program
�This program has generated a lot ofinterest with neighborhoods who want torepave their streets,� stated Pat Kittle,
Township Supervisor. �This Incentiveis being offered on a first come, first servebasis until the $50,000 budget is gone.�

Parks policyon alcohol
is clearBy Ken Elwert
The Township has had a zero-tolerance policy for alcohol atTownship Parks for as long asanyone can remember. But anincident at an evening sportingevent got out of hand thissummer that has refocusedTownship efforts on this long-standing NO ALCOHOL policy.
Effective immediately, theTownship Park staff, in conjunc-tion with our Oakland CountySherriff�s Department substation,will strictly enforce the zero-tolerance policy of drinkingalcohol in Independence Town-ship Parks.
Tickets have already beenwritten for violators. Penaltiesfor repeat offenders may involvegame suspensions and whenwarranted, team suspensions. In focusing efforts on zero-tolerance, we will continue tomake our Parks family friendlyand keep our athletic leaguessafe.
Folks are always asking aboutthe upcoming road constructionproject. To help explain what isgoing to happen, the Townshipwebsite has a link on theHomepage, Proposed InterchangeImprovements
www.twp.independence.mi.us/ProposedInterchangeImprovementsI-75SashabawRoad.pdf that does apretty good job capturing the mainproject elements and costs.
Take a look and see for yourselfhow the planned road work will helptraffic flow and improve trafficsafety.

College tuition and fees are perpetu-ally on the rise, so it�s no great surprisethat today�s students are graduatingwith more college debt than everbefore. Though some students mightfeel helpless with regard to avoidingstudent loan debt, there are someclever ways for youngsters to pay forcollege and stay out of debt.
* Work with a service organization.Many universities are affiliated withnonprofit organizations, and studentswho work for affiliated organizationsmay be eligible for scholarships pro-vided by the organization and/or theuniversity. Wages for workers whotake advantage of such programs tendto be very low, but those students whoserve full stints could earn scholarshipsworth several thousand dollars. Stu-dents can explore such opportunities byspeaking with their universities todetermine if the schools are affiliatedwith any service organizations. If not,students with a desire to give back canfind charities that reward their workerswith college scholarships.
* Sign up for studies. Collegestudents often lament their lack ofspending money. That�s especially truetoday, when many students put theirearnings from summer jobs or intern-ships toward their tuition. But opportu-nities for relatively easy money aboundon college campuses, where research-ers need subjects for studies. Signingup to be a subject for a study can be aneasy and lucrative way to earn moneythat can be used to pay tuition oreveryday expenses that often gooverlooked when planning a budget.University job boards or departmentbulletin boards often advertise needsfor study participants, so college kidsstrapped for cash should monitor suchboards in an effort to earn some extraincome.
* Start a business. Though collegekids might not have the time to startbuilding the next Fortune 500 company,starting a small business can be a great
way for students to earn money and settheir own schedules. A tutoring busi-ness that caters to local high schoolstudents or even fellow college kidscan be a great way for college studentsto make practical use of their educa-tion. Just a few hours of tutoring eachweek can be enough to help collegestudents mitigate the costs of campuslife, and if the business grows bigenough, students might even be able toput a dent in their tuition fees.
* Live at home. While living at homeis an option available only to thosestudents who attend in-state universi-ties within spitting distance of Mom andDad, it�s an increasingly reasonabledecision for students worried aboutaccruing excessive student loan debt.While room-and-board fees varywidely, U.S. News reported that theaverage charges for on-campus livingduring the 2013-14 school year were$9,689. Over the course of four years,students will spend nearly $40,000 justto live on campus, and many studentswill pay those costs via student loans.Students whose primary goal is to avoidsubstantial postgraduate debt may findthat living at home, while not necessar-ily ideal, is the most effective way to dojust
Clever ways tocircumventcollege costs

Some of the goals of school uniformsis to unify students and reduce the dis-tractions they face in the classroom.Uniforms also make it easier to identifystudents of a particular school or gradelevel, which can add to the sense of se-curity parents feel when sending theiryoungsters off to school each morning.
Supporters of school uniforms also touttheir cost savings. Rather than having topurchase numerous pieces of clothing forthe school year, uniforms allow parentsto pick up a few staples that stay con-stant throughout the school year. Butschool uniforms are not free, althoughthere are ways for savvy moms and dadsto save money when purchasing uniformsfor their kids.
Be an active parentAs with any other school-related de-
cision, uniform brand selection may begoverned by school officials and parentvolunteers. Uniforms that are commis-sioned from a particular company maybe more expensive than uniforms thatare widely available in many retail chains.Involved parents can help shape manyimportant decisions at their kids� schools,including which uniforms students wear.Petition for lower-price uniform provid-ers or uniforms that can be bought at areastores.
Shop salesKeeping costs down on clothing means
watching for sales. Uniforms may not goon sale as often as more popular cloth-ing, but that doesn�t mean sales are non-existent. Stores may discount unformsduring slow times, such as October, whenschool is already in session and itemsmust be moved to make room for thefollowing school year. They also may runspecials on seasonal items, such as long-sleeved shirts at the end of the winter.Consider buying in bulk .
Accept hand-me-downsBecome friendly with other parents
and students who attend the same school.Older students who have outgrown theiruniforms can pass them down to youngerstudents. This can save parents signifi-cant amounts of money on new uniforms.
Sign up for school blogs or social me-dia groups so that you can chat with otherparents and arrange for clothing swaps.Other families may be looking to clearout supplies of older uniforms and will
How to save moneyon school uniforms
offer them at low or no cost. Area thriftand consignment shops also may havesome of the local school uniforms instock.
Improve your sewing skillsYou can extend the life of uniforms
by making repairs and alterations your-self. You may be able to mend small tearsor place a few darts to take in the waistof an oversized skirt or pair of slacks. Abasic knowledge of hemming and minoralterations can provide some welcomerelief to your uniform budget.
If sewing is not your strong point, itmay be cheaper to alter uniforms at adry cleaner than to purchase new.
Buy only what is neededResist the temptation to buy multiple
uniforms so that kids can wear a freshoutfit every day. Many uniform piecescan be mixed and matched to extend thelife of the tops and bottoms and reducethe need to purchase multiples of eachitem. Instead, buy only two to three shirtsand slacks and wash as needed. Whileyou may spend more time in the laundryroom, your bottom line will be a littlemore robust.
Find out if it is acceptable for studentsto accessorize uniforms with their ownclothing. For example, do they need topurchase a school sweater or can theywear one from home over the uniform?
Buy a size upAgain, this is where sewing skills can
be helpful. Purchase uniforms slightlylarger so that kids will get more use outof them through the years. Waists andhemlines can be let out as needed whenchildren grow.

How to save on backto school shopping
Today�s students have more gadgetsat their disposal than ever before. Astechnology like tablets and smartphoneshave become more prevalent in the livesof adults, such devices also havebecome more commonplace in theclassroom. Some kids thrive whenteachers utilize technology to enhancelesson plans, while others may bedistracted by access to technology.
According to the National Institute ofMental Health, attention deficit hyperac-tivity disorder, or ADHD, is one of themost common childhood disorders.ADHD can make it difficult for kids tomaintain focus in the classroom, and thatfocus may be enhanced or furthercompromised by technology that�scapable of serving many differentfunctions. Kids who use the technologyto their advantage may find it improvestheir ability to grasp lessons, but somekids may be distracted by devices oreven other items in theclassroom that make itdifficult for them to absorblessons. Parents concernedabout their kids� ability to copewith distractions in the classroomand at home can take thefollowing steps in an effortto help youngstersimprove their aca-demic performance.
* Speak to yourchild�s teacherabout seatingassignments.Students who findit difficult to focusin the classroommay benefit fromnew seatingassignments.Windows or high-traffic areas ofthe classroom,such asdoorways,can compro-mise astudent�s ability to focus. In addition, theback of the classroom is not the idealspot for youngsters who find it difficultto focus on the teacher, as teachers maynot notice kids in the back of the classas readily as they might with studentssitting in the front of the room.
* Encourage participation. Manyteachers recognize the value of activeparticipation in the classroom, but kidswho are struggling to focus may shyaway from participating because theyare worried about embarrassing them-selves in front of their classmates.Parents and teachers can work withstudents to encourage them to partici-pate, reassuring them that they don�tneed to be experts on a given subject tocontribute to lessons. Even if students�participation is limited to asking ques-tions rather than answering them,encouraging kids to raise their hands andparticipate in class may help them focusmore on the lessons being discussed.
* Minimize distractions at home. Kidswho have no trouble focusing in theclassroom may find it�s a whole differ-ent ballgame when they arrive home tostudy or do their homework. Mom and
Dad no doubt have their owngadgets around the house, andsuch devices as well astelevision may be too difficult
for youngsters to ignore. Athome, parents can create a safe
haven from distraction bydesignating a room or
area of the house forschoolwork. Such
areas should beclear of distrac-tions liketelevision,telephones,video gameconsoles, andother gadgetsthat cancompromise astudent�sfocus. Makesuch areasoff limits tocellularphones andblock socialmedia
websites from comput-ers in such rooms so kids aren�t temptedto spend study time chatting with friendsonline. If a child�s study area is not in aseparate room of the house, parentsshould avoid turning on the televisionuntil kids have finished their studies forthe night.
By combining the right mixof personal attention, the
latest technology, and continuing education,
we maintain a commitment of
excellence to our patients in every facet
of our practice.

Jodi Witherspoon is proud to say she is asurvivor and to celebrate it she bicycled 60miles in Susan G. Komen's Ride for a Cure,Aug. 2 in Lansing.
"It was a wonderful journey," she said. "Itwas just wow - it is the only way I can say it.It was amazing."
Witherspoon added it was nice to hearsuccess stories from survivors and hug thosewho came to represent those who passedaway from cancer.
"It was rewarding because there were somany survivors," she said. "Many peoplehad sashes they wore for the closing cer-emonies. What was amazing was how manysurvivors there were. It is great to hear. Younever hear about people�s success stories ofsurviving."
This year marks the five year anniversaryfor Witherspoon being cancer free and to cel-ebrate it she wanted to give back.
She visited the Susan G. Komen websiteto find an event and found Ride for a Cure -which was perfect for her.
"I love to bicycle," she explained. "I wentahead and signed up, raised money, and myhusband and I were able to ride."
Along the ride she met Deeanna Arnott,from West Bloomfield, at the 5-mile mark androde the rest of the way together.
"We quickly became friends,"Witherspoon added. "We talked about howcancer had affected our lives. It was wonder-ful during the journey talking to other womenand how cancer has impacted their lives."
Witherspoon added the special anniver-sary day for her is Aug. 12 - when she wasdiagnosed with cancer in 2008.
"It was the day that changed my life," sheexplained. "It makes me emotional when Ithink about it. It has been a long journey - alot of scares in between. I was able to give

What is yourfavorite thing
aboutClarkston?
By Andrea Beaudoin
Cancer survivor rides for life, friendship
back."Football for a Cure usually falls the same
week as her anniversary of being diagnosedand her and her family usually spend it at thefootball field celebrating with the Wolves.
Her son, Bryce, who is a senior atClarkston High School, is playing in the eventfor Charlene Hemle.
"Her and I were 'chemo buddies' five yearsago and remain close friends," Jodi explained.
The football community, from theClarkston Chiefs to the Wolves, have sup-ported her and her family the entire time.
"It was that family who journeyed withme," she said. "They were my family thenand my family now. I want to thank everyonewho walked this journey with me and whocontinues to believe in me."
Her advice to women is simply get a yearlymammogram done and don't be afraid.
"Just do it - that was my motto during thewhole thing," she said. "If it hurts, it hurtsfor a brief second but it is worth it. Don�tthink �there is no history in my family.� Therewas no history in my family and I still got it. IfI would have had that attitude I wouldn�thave had the mammogram and I would havedied."
Jodi will participate in Ride for a Cure againand added the staff was amazing and it wasaffordable to do.
"I highly recommend for anyone," shesaid. "It raises awareness and people are get-ting their mammograms earlier. If I wouldn�thave done that I wouldn�t be talking to youtoday."

BY ANDREA M. BEAUDOINClarkston News Staff Writer
Curt Catallo and his wife Ann Stevensonlove Clarkston � that�s why they keep open-ing new businesses here.
�Pride starts on Main Street,� Catallo said.�We can see downtown from our bedroom.�
�Union Joints," including ClarkstonUnion, Union Woodshop, and Adworks, willsoon also include a coffee shop at the cornerof Clarkston Road and Main Street.
�Right now we are regrouping and get-ting all our ducks in a row,� he said. �Thecoffee shop is still a ways out and we expectthe process will take anywhere from sixmonths to one year.�
The process includes approval of siteplans and permits by the City of the Villageof Clarkston.
Catallo said he and his team are workingon contamination and traffic issues.
�We are not looking to add additional traf-fic we are looking to do business with exist-ing traffic. That is why we worked so hard onthe engineering plans,� he said. �We took allthe issues into consideration and spent thelast year doing due diligence on the prop-erty. I know everything there is to know aboutthat site, and nothing has scared me away.�
Catallo and Stevenson enjoy re-purpos-
ing old buildings with creative themes.�Ann and I like to preserve what is there,
and that�s what we are planning with themuffler shop building, we will re-purpose it,�he said.
Although exact plans for the coffee themeare still in the works, Catallo said he andStevenson might keep the two bays in thebuilding, which is presently used by an au-tomotive repair shop. An addition is alsoplanned for the building.
�We will leave the building as original aspossible,� said Catallo. �That�s what drewus to the building, its historical and it�s just areally charming place. Ann looks at old build-ings like that and she sees the charm. Wethink if Hansel and Gretel needed to stop andget gas they would stop there.�
When the shop opens, the menu will in-clude coffee, pastries, snacks, baked goodsand sandwiches.
Coffee roaster John Steen and his com-pany Clutch Coffee will be making sure thebest coffee is served. Catallo is excited towork with Steen, and said he is confident inhim and his staff's talents, passions and com-mitment.
Clutch Coffee, started this year, focuseson hand-crafted and small batches of coffeeproduction.
�People don�t realize how many stepsthere are in the coffee chain. There are somany steps from the farm to the cup,� said
Steen.After beans are
harvested, the coffeemust be roasted.
�It�s a hands on ar-tistic process in whichall senses must be uti-lized,� he said. �Thereare many factors fromlike the amount of timeto the temperature thebeans are roasted.When I�m roasting Ilisten to the beanscrack, I listen, as Iwatch for smoke to
know when the beans are ready.�Steen will prepare the beans 1/2 pound
and a pound at a time--a process he learnedby preparing batches for friends and family.Small batches of coffee ensure high qualityfreshness, he said.
Coffee beans have different flavors andcome from all different parts of the world.Flavor of the beans depend on their origin,or what area of the world they come from.While he processes the beans, one of Steen�s
goals is to preserve the �origin� or taste ofthe beans and keep the integrity of the flavorin the coffee.
�It�s the roasting process that draws outthe flavor,� he said.
Coffee to be served at the shop will in-clude flavors based on the season, and atany given time, several different types of cof-fee from all over the world will be offered.
Roasting captures the �flavor" of coffee.Each week, Steen orders 30 pounds of
what is called �green coffee�. This is wherethe process starts with green coffee beansthat must be processed.
�It�s a really cool process,� said Steen.Visitors can expect a theatrical experience
when visiting the shop, as they will watchthe coffee being prepared.
As for some tips for the average coffeedrinker, Steen has a few.
�A lot of people add heavy cream to coffeeand I recommend be enjoyed the black, so thedrinker can enjoy the true flavor of the coffee.I encourage everyone to try it, brew you cof-fee and drink it black, as the coffee cools youwill notice how the flavor develops. It getssweeter. As it cools you can experience a rangein the coffee�s flavor. It gets juicier andbrighter-something you will only notice if youdon�t add cream and sugar,� he said.
Plans percolating for new Main Street coffee shop

Thrilling stunts and maneuvers � that�sthe name of the game for this year�s SprayMasters Water Ski Club and Show Teamshow, based on James Bond 007.
�I think they are amazing � hardworking,dedicated, and a family oriented group ofadults and kids around that spend their sum-mer months and nights practicing and pre-forming for our local lake and township resi-dents,� said Julie LeBourdais, whose daugh-ter joined last year.
The team of 20-30 skiers, 3-4 master boatdrivers, and 15 behind-the-scenes volunteerspractice two nights a week for three hours atBig Lake in Springfield Township, with pyra-mids, barefoot ski races, trios, and high-speedaround-the-boat maneuvers, a stunt per-formed nowhere else.
It�s a multi-generational activity, said KurtBemman.
�Three generations of my family is in it,�Bemman said. �My daughter, threegrandsons are involved. It�s fun.�
