1. It’s people like these guys that make me proud to be Latino, they show that if we care for one another we can better the stereotypes of latinos. Because with an education anything is possible, that’s why they rock!!!

  6. First let me say congrats on your success. My father always said to me. How can you ever be successful if you are afraid of taking chances? So that is what I did 10 seasons ago when I purchased my lodging business in Benzie County. The sleepy little town of Honor. I have 8 cabins, 1 cottage, an office with garage and one out building. Is there a book about Motor courts of the past. This is what my business was called back in 1945 when it was built. I would love to read up on these quaint little gems if there is a book out there that I have not found. Your help would be appreciated. Thank you Deborah Woody www.cedarridgecabinsbenzie.com

  15. Environmentalists assume everyone will recycle the cfls therefore, they won’t end up in landfills. That is an unreasonable assumption. if even 10 percent of all cfls end up in landfills it will be catastrophic. Especially once the government’s mandate to switch to cfls (at the moment they are the only viable bulb that meets the new energy standards) takes effect.

    We are supposed to dispose of cfl’s in plastic bags. But many places (like San Francisco) have banned those bags. Now what?

    I hate to see the horror our children will have to endure due to our shortsightedness.

    And by the way, in real world use, the bulbs do not last anywhere near as long as they claim to because the ballasts wear out faster when turned on and off, rather than being left on constantly as they were in most of the tests.

  16. How do you rate your “True North Vodka” to that of Russian Standard? For the past 5 years I have worked in Russia and have enjoyed the “platinum” brand. I used to drink basically the Polish variety that was purchased at the Windsor, Canada duty free since it was not available in Michigan.

    Regards,

    John

  17. Thank you for the sweet story about Lucky, the adopted dog. It’s heartwarming to know that people care and do nice things today. Especially, after checking the daily news reports! The dedication to a friend and patience with Lucky, (along with Tillie’s tolerance) gave way to a happy ending. The picture of Tillie and Lucky says it all.

  18. It’s a cold afternoon in my northwoods cabin…sitting with a hot cup of tea…purusing my issues of ‘Michigan Country Lines’... (I’m in ‘Cherryland’) I came across this article I had somehow missed.

    I found myself enticed and impressed by the vigor of a group of volunteers who embraced a community project such as this! It’s always exciting to see creative and historical projects resulting from the collective efforts of local people who possess the perspective to recognize and share a vision unique to Michigan with others like myself who love this state.

    I may just have to make a journey north to visit…

    Thank you for sharing!

  19. My Uncle John and Aunt Zelna have always been the most loving and kindhearted people anyone could ever know. Uncle John deserves all the recognition and praise he can get. He is special in so many ways. I love you Uncle John and I am so proud of you. You have never been judgemental towards anyone and that makes you a gift to everyone. God knew what he was doing when he put you on this earth. God Bless You. Carol Puishis

  20. A story such as this is so heartwarming, when we never hear about the common man doing so much good for a whole community. It’s very easy for a super-star athlete to donate money, but it’s not very often you hear of someone who does so much with so very little. GOD BLESS YOU MR. JOHN DREVES.
