Reader: Changingsports conferencecould save cash
TO THE EDITOR:
Recently we have had two ar-ticles in the paper letting us knowhow the budget cuts that are pro-
posed by the governor will affectTri County schools. If we are so budget conscious and we are so worried about the spending ofunnecessary monies why are westaying in an athletic conferencethat takes us over an hour to getto sporting events? The increas-ing cost of gas and the pendingcuts per student are going tolimit what sporting events areoffered in the future not to men-tion how the district is going tobe able to transport the studentsto these events now. I am tired ofhearing how we need to competein a more competitive league. Ithink we can find closer compet-itors with equal ability to those we compete against now. In myopinion the powers that be arenot thinking ahead, these longdistances are eating away at ourfuture ability to offer sports, andour students deserve better plan-ning.

nesses and community members who donated to the Sand LakeEaster Egg Hunt. We really ap-preciate it.

set for Wednesday, April 27, 2011 at 7 p.m., at Alpena CommunityCollege in the Besser Technical Center, Room 122, 666 JohnsonStreet, Alpena, MI, 49707.
The MAZ is comprised of Alcona, Alpena, Montmorency, Os-coda, and Presque Isle counties in northeastern Lower Michigan,and is a USDA designation for the purposes of disease testing anderadication. Both farms are currently quarantined and no cattlemay enter or leave the farm premises until testing clears the farmsof bovine TB, either through premises depopulation, or a test andremove process.
Since the bovine TB eradication effort began, all of Michi-gans 14,000 cattle farms have tested for the disease. Since 1998,MDARD and USDA have detected 52 TB positive cattle herds and
four privately owned cervid operations in the northern section ofMichigans Lower Peninsula.
MDARD recently submitted a proposal to move Presque IsleCounty out of the MAZ and into the Modied Accredited AdvancedZone (MAAZ), which is one step closer to being bovine TB-Free.The proposed MAAZ will be Antrim, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Craw-ford, Emmet, Otsego, and Presque Isle counties. The Upper Penin-sula is Bovine TB-Free; and the recent application to USDA askedfor the lower 57 counties of Michigans Lower Peninsula to be listedas TB-Free as well.
To date, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR)has tested more than 188,000 free-ranging white-tailed deer with687 testing positive for bovine TB. Strategies adopted by the DNRto reduce bovine TB in free-ranging white-tailed deer have reducedthe prevalence rate of the disease from the high in 1995 of 4.9 per-cent to 1.8 percent in Deer Management Unit 452 for 2010.

Part of a parents job is toprepare children for the uncer-tainties of life. And while youmay not be able to bubble-wrap your child or outt your teen with a tracking device, thereare steps you can take to pre-pare your family for emergen-cies, such as natural disasters,terrorist threats or outbreaks ofviolence.
To stay safe during an emer-gency, all families should put aplan in place ahead-of-time toensure the safety of each familymember, according to expertsat the American Academy ofPediatrics (AAP). Children of-
ten feel safer when they know
their parents have a plan toprotect them.
Families need to be ad-equately prepared to meet theirchildrens physical, medicaland psychological needs, saysDeborah Mulligan, MD, FAAP,chair of the AAP Council onCommunications and Media.Planning ahead increases thelikelihood of securing the safetyof your family, and providespeace of mind for parents andchildren alike.
Dr. Mulligan says parentsshould involve their childrenin disaster planning. The AAPoffers instructions for a Family
Readiness Kit to help families
prepare for hurricanes and oth-
er events. These instructionsalong with information aboupreparing for different emer-gencies, are available at wwwaap.org/disasters.
The kit has a detailed list oitems to keep on hand in youhome and in your car, such asfood and water, pet supplieswarm clothing, rain gear, blan-kets and toiletries. A battery-powered radio, extra batteriesashlights, credit cards, casand a rst-aid kit are on the listalong with many other essentiaitems. Medicines, baby suppliesand copies of individual medi-cal histories should be include
as well.
Does your family havean emergency plan?

Keeping it
in the family
Municipalities cannot
uncap the taxable value
of Grandpas farm when
Grandpa owned the farm
jointly with Junior, then
died. But not so when Ju-nior dies not any more. So,
for example, back in 2005,
Grandpa (who originally
bought the property with
Grandma, who has passed)
deeded the farm to himself
and Junior as joint owners
having survivorship rights.
An exception in the stat-
ute, Michigan law 211.27a,
prevented uncapping the
value where the deed was
to joint owners, as long asone of the new joint owners
was the original owner. So
the tax base remained the
same although farm owner-
ship changed. A couple of
years later Grandpa died.
Junior remained sole owner.
Some municipalities would
have argued A new con-
veyance! Nows the time to
uncap! but Junior argued
No way, its the same old
conveyance, just one of us
has died and Junior won.
The farm value for taxation
remained uncapped.
Now this year Juniors
farm is the biggest corn
field left in the county, and
Junior has taken ill. In his
final estate planning meet-
ing he asked his lawyer tosee that the farm be deeded
to him and his oldest daugh-
ter, Junella, jointly, as soon
as possible, like Grandpa
did, thereby giving it to
Junella without having to
pass it through the probate
court when he dies, and, he
thinks, without uncapping
its value for taxes. Just like
Grandpa had once deeded it
to himself and Junior jointly
without uncapping, Juniorthinks deeding it now will
keep the farm from uncap-
ping, again, under the same
exception. And so it used to
be for some time.
Michigan Supreme
Court closes loophole
However a recent Su-
preme Court decision says
Not so. In the case of
Klooster v. City of Char-
levoix, the Court has saidotherwise. When an original
owner (Grandpa) deeds his
interest to himself and an-
other person (Junior, in our
example) jointly with survi-
vorship rights, the property
is not uncapped. And when
the original owner (Grand-
pa) dies, the property is not
uncapped then either by vir-
tue of the same exception.
But, the Supreme Court
says, there is but one origi-
nal owner - in our example
that was Grandpa. So once
Grandpa died, no more loop-
hole. If Junior creates a new
joint ownership by deeding
to himself and Junella, he
uncaps the property value
for taxation. It seems to be
theres only one original
owner per bloodline, and
only one exception. Junior
is no exception to the rule.

Change Farm OwnersWithout Uncapping Taxes?By Jeanne L. Jerow, Howard City attorney Reach her at Bigrapidslawyer.com
Forty YearsDuring the summer of 2009, we attended my forty year class re-union. Manhattan Christian High School, Manhattan,
Montana, 1969. We had 32 students in our class. Three have died. About half the remaining kids showed up for the dinner. Itreally was a nice time. But there really was not enough time to sit and talk with each person there.
I made several interesting observations. Many of us look so much like our parents. A few have hardly changed at all inappearance. Voices do not change much. There were several that I would not have recognized by sight, but their voices gavethem away.
In forty years some have developed a few health problems. One friend has severe degenerative arthritis in both knees.Too many miles and too many injuries to the knees. Soon he will need joint replacements. Too late for him, but many otherscould still benefit from supplements at the onset of symptoms. When the joints begin to hurt, taking Chondritin, Glucosamine,and MSM (get it all in one capsule) with some Omega3 Oil (fish or flaxseed oil) 2000 mg 1-2 times a day will give you all theingredients needed to repair the damaged cartilage. This will prevent the worn out knees before sixty.
A few people have lived in the same homes that they were born in. We can use this situation as a model for cleansing. Mostof us have never done any internal cleansing of our bodies. Why? We have never been taught to do this. Sure, our parentstaught us to bath, shower and clean up the outside of our body. We keep our living spaces nice and clean. But, what aboutthe garage, the basement and that spare room? Maybe there is accumulated junk in our liver, bowel, body fat, kidneys,spleen, brain as well. Maybe it is like my mothers house. When she passed away, my siblings removed several dumpsters full ofgood junk from the house. Often our bodies hang onto things and we really should cleanse it regularly. This happens on themental emotional level also.
Every three to six months we should do a Liver Cleanse (one capsule three times per day for a month). Do Kidney Activatorand Spleen Activator for a month, once a year. A Colon Cleanse once or twice a year will help toxinsbe removed from your body regularly. All Cell Detox and Heavy Metal Detox can be beneficial to clearharmful accumulations from your system. A Small Bowel Cleanse once a year will improve assimilationof nutrients. Exercise will remove toxic organic compounds, like pesticides, gasoline, hair spray, andpaint residues, through our skin oil, sweat, and deep
