Troy Family Daze Takes Over Civic Center If there’s one thing the Troy Family Daze committee hopes for this year, September 15, 16, 17 & 18, it’s sunny weather. Last year, rain was out to spoil the weekend for the thousands of local residents who look forward to the weekend filled with midway rides, food, community booths and entertainment. For the second year, the festival, now in its fourth decade, will be held on the Troy Civic Center grounds at the intersection of Troy Center and Civic Center Drives, by the tennis bubble and Troy Family Aquatic Center. The first event of the weekend on Thursday evening is the Naturalization Ceremony for new American citizens at 6 p.m. The League of Women Voters will be on hand to register them for our interesting November election. This is a great night to attend Troy Family Daze because from 4 to 9 p.m. you can ride 10 rides for $10. However, you will need the coupon, which you can print off on their website: troyfamilydaze.com. Just click on the “10 for $10” right at the top of the home page. Get a coupon for each child; be a sport. And, yes, there will be fireworks on Saturday evening, weather permit- ting, at 9:45 p.m. (Sunday if it rains.) “We looking forward to a weekend filled with adventures and fun for the entire family,” says Troy Family Daze long-time supporter Tom Kaszubski. “People asked for more rides and our ride vendor has three new rides, including the Demon Drop, which was mentioned by a number of fairgoers last year, and another ride that looks pretty scary to me,” he added with a smile. There are, of course, lots of rides for the younger generation, too. In fact there are many activities for the kids at this event. Children’s Hospital of Michigan will once again be there with games and prizes in the Children’s Area. The Animal Oasis, sponsored by Kelly Services, returns and those goats love the kids, and Rosco the Clown will be all over the grounds with his balloons. Zippity2Dads return on Friday evening at 5:30 and 7 p.m. and again on Saturday at noon and 1:30 p.m. Amazing Clark Magic follows on Saturday at 2, 3:30 and 5:30 p.m. And, if there’s a would-be performer among the younger set, they will certainly want to explore the Cirque Amongus, where they can discover the Big Top Within. Also on Saturday, there’s a Battle of the Dance Studios and studios from across the metro area will compete, See TROY DAZE, page 2 by CYNTHIA KMETT When Paul Trosper, Troy’s Water & Sewer operations manager, took the podium at the last Troy City Council meeting and said he was there to talk about FOG, you could see the strange looks on many peoples’ faces. He didn’t mean those low clouds that block our view on the roadways. Trosper was talking about Fat, Oil and Grease...FOG. It seems restaurants and residents are putting too much of these three culprits down our drains, including through our garage disposals. “It’s one of the biggest challenges we have in maintaining the drains,” he told council. He explained that over time FOG builds up in the sanitary sewer lines and can cause backups. The EPA has determined that sewer pipe blockages are the leading cause of sewer overflows; FOG is the primary cause of sewer blockages. To avoid this from happening, the city is going to have an educational campaign to teach all of us, from restaurant owners to residents, how to better get rid of the FOG. See CITY COUNCIL, page 2 Catching Up on the Old Days While on Vacation SEEING AN OLD FRIEND from high school, in this case Athens High, Paul Alati, right – who wrote sports at the Gazette before becoming a Portland, Oregon entrepreneur, stopped while in California to visit Marty Klebba, yes from dozens of TV shows and all the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, with a new adventure due next spring. Looks like Troy natives stay in touch.

Keep FOG Out of the Troy Sewer System CITY COUNCIL, From page 1 Oh, you say, that little bit of bacon grease you put down the disposal won’t hurt anything. It might flush through this time, but it’s going to harden and stop some place. Trosper noted that incidents where someone roasts a turkey in hot oil and then flushes that oil have happened in Troy, causing problems. That oil settles someplace. Common sources of FOG in the home include: fried foods, cooking meat, gravy and sauces, mayonnaise and salad dressings, butter, ice cream, and other dairy products. They’re best religated to the garbage. When restaurants do this with oil from deep frying, for example, it can stop up an entire plaza’s sewage system, and it has happened. Be forewarned. If the blockage is in your home or business, you’ll be responsible for the cost of fixing it. It only takes a bit of paper coming through the system and attaching to the grease to start picking up debris and causing a blockage in the system. Best, Trosper advises, “can” the grease. Take a metal can and line it with a heat-resistant oven cooking bag, like you’d use on a chicken or pot roast. When it’s filled, you can seal it and toss it in the garbage. Or, take an old spaghetti sauce jar, with a lid, pour the “cooled” oil or grease into that container and when it’s filled, toss it in the garbage. Don’t put animal fat in the disposal, either. No cutting off the extra fat on the corned beef or pot roast and putting it in the sink. Scrape it into the garbage. One word of warning.

September 5, 2016 The Fantasy – and Failure of FrankenFoods PERSPECTIVES by PETER MAURER Decades ago, science promised historic changes in food crops and yields across the globe, not only to meet the challenge of an everincreasing population, but to address the needs of a large – and growing – agribusiness in the U.S.. Monsanto, and to a lesser degree Archer-Daniels Midland (ADM), rapidly bioengineered a series of seeds that were resistant to various pests and pesticides, most notably Monsanto’s Round-Up weed killer. The seeds were designed to be resistant to the weed-killer, so that farmers could spray and kill the weeds without having to worry about destroying their crop. Despite public outcry, and the EU’s now-forgotten decision to not allow imports of genetically-altered grains from America – nick-named ‘Frankenfood’ – the practice has continued unabated. Although science repeatedly insists that these GeneticallyModified Organisms (GMOs) pose no threat to humans, there are scores of anecdotal research that suggest otherwise. With food allergies at alltime highs, irritable bowel disease increasing, and gluten sensitivity off the charts, what other culprit could there be? I am not a research scientist, nor a medical doctor, but when you look at the statistics of health problems that correspond to the introduction of GMO crops, the concurrency and conclusion are hard to ignore. My best friend knows of a farmer who left a pile of unwanted GMO seed corn in his field several years ago. To date, it sits largely untouched. He reports that animals and insects won’t touch it, and it seemingly won’t decay. The corn rootworm, in the farming business known as the “Billion Dollar Pest”, is making a big comeback in the Cornbelt, despite the development of Bt corn seed designed to kill the pest. It would seem that more of the rootworm is becoming resistant to the GMO seed, something that natural selection would guarantee, much like the problem we face with our profligate use of antibiotics for infection. In spite of Man’s ingenuity, it would seem that Mother Nature has – and will always hold – the trump card. Despite our best intentions and technology, the best we can hope for is a temporary respite from evolution; ultimately, the biological war that we wage upon our pests will be lost, not due to lack of effort, but because of the ability of organisms to develop resistance to virtually anything we can throw at them. In the meantime, we are the guinea pigs, the subjects in a grand experiment of enormous scale. Despite assurances from the scientific community, most of us do not feel confidence and comfort in these foods nor the companies that produce them. Today, the majority of our food comes from 15 crops, many of them monoculture, leaving them wideopen to disease or some pest that would wipe them out. Diversity in processed foods is nearly gone; socalled ‘heirloom’ crops are hard to come by. But there is hope. A growing movement for organic foods, and a return to some of the heirloom crops that used to grace our dinner tables, is gaining momentum. The organic selections in produce departments is rapidly expanding, and economy-of-scale is reducing their price to the point where there is little or no difference. Organic food is grown on smaller, family farms, and in most cases the yield is GREATER than that on the huge, agribusiness farms. So why is the industrial monoculture farming industry still so influential? Money. Lobbyists. Campaign contributions. FDA decision-makers who used to work for agribusiness. Buy organic, buy heirloom, or plant your own gardens. Why? It’s only your health at stake, that’s why.

The Colts used three first-half touchdowns to win Thursday night at Avondale, 21-0, picking up the program's first win since Oct. 24, 2014. "It's terrific, the best feeling in the world," senior Connor Wilson said. "I've been here for three years, and it feels so good." It took some time to find the feelgood to kick in, but a late first-quarter drive that started at the Colts' (1-1) own 47-yard line eventually saw them work into field-goal range, and although a holding call on a jet sweep pushed them back after what was originally a modest gain, senior quarterback Scott Mittelbrun found wide receiver James Lundy running a fade route on 3rd and 15 from for a 20-yard touchdown with as many seconds remaining in the quarter to take a 7-0 lead. "We certainly wanted to start our offense sooner, but they wouldn't let us," Troy coach Gary Griffith said. The Yellow Jackets (1-1) were able to move the ball in response to Troy's MURDER MYSTERY DINNER Friday, September 16th 6:30pm until 9:30pm This is every detective’s fantasy come true — an opportunity for people with a passion for murder mysteries... slippery red herrings... diabolical clues... and ingenious detective work to get plunked smack-dab in the middle of a hilarious homicide investigation.

Abitheira finished with 35 yards on 12 carries, and Teron Kinnard led the way on the ground for the Colts with 47 yards on 11 attempts. first touchdown, but facing 4th and 5 at Troy's 29, receiver William Fahoume couldn't pull down the catch at around the five-yard line. Several good breaks fell the Colts' way several drives later leading them to pad the lead. First, a handoff resulting in a fumble on the second play of possession was overturned after an initial ruling that would have resulted in Avondale ball. On a third down later in the drive, off-setting penalties following a play where Mittelbrun was sacked gave Troy a do-over, and a fake reverse sucked in Avondale's defenders over the top, allowing Wilson to find Givon Cinque for a 59-yard catch-and-run touchdown to make it 14-0 with 5:10 left to go before the half. "It was a momentum thing," Griffith said. "We had the wind, they were jamming us up pretty good on the inside, and we thought we had a pretty good chance to make a big play. He made a good pass, [Cinque] made a nice catch. It was probably the biggest play of the game." Following another three-and-out by the Yellow Jackets, Troy made it a threescore game in less than a minute. Early in the 63-yard drive, Mittelbrun did the heavy lifting by rolling out of the pocket to his right and finding Lundy just barely in-bounds, but shortly after, Lundy stole the show when he posted up on a defensive back, leaping and making a spectacular one-handed grab at the apex of his jump 30 yards downfield to move the ball inside the red zone. Mittelbrun put nice touch on a fade to the back-left corner of the end zone on the next play as Danny Sully's touchdown catch made it 21-0, but it was hard to move past what Griffith called "one of the better catches you're ever going to see in high school football." "He went up with one hand like he was going to palm a basketball and brought it down, and we were simply amazed," Griffith said. "We have to have those kinds of plays to compete, and we haven't had enough of them." Even Lundy himself seemed a slight bit awe-struck by the highlightreel grab. "I don't know how I caught it but I did," Lundy said. "It was all that adrenaline." Avondale wasn't without several more opportunities of its own, but Troy managed to come up big and stop quarterback Chance Chatman and the hosts' offense. Senior Fred Reynolds picked off the senior once inside Troy's 10-yard line, and on the ensuing drive where Vince Wright picked up several good gains to again approach deep within the red zone, the Colts thwarted Will Johansson a yard short as he threatened to leap across the pylon on fourth down early in the fourth quarter. "We had that goal-line stand, that felt so good," Wilson said. "We just kept playing as a team and believed in each other. If we play like that, we won't be beat." Some solid work in the ground game allowed Troy to chew up the clock and pitch just the second shutout for the program this decade. "They were doing a lot of good things," Griffith said of Avondale. "I think they're a big-play offense, and for the most part we kept them to lessthan-huge plays, got a couple turnovers. A much better performance than last week." The Colts will look for their first home win when Bloomfield Hills visits next Friday. September 5, 2016 Drinking, Drugs and Driving Don’t Mix Well in Troy POLICE PATROL by CYNTHIA KMETT n Look for this one at next year’s Dream Cruise. Victim parked and locked his red 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS in the parking lot at Barnes & Nobel on John R and entered the business for just about 20 minutes. When he returned, he noticed unknown suspect(s) had stolen his vehicle. n Please, please don’t ever do this. This Troy resident met a subject on Facebook who identified himself as “Charlie”. The subject told the victim he was from London and that his business was in trouble. He told her he needed to borrow money and when the business was back up and running, he would pay her back. On 7/18/2016, she wired $7,500 to an address in Sabah, Malaysia. On 8/22/2016, she wired $7,000 to an address in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia. On 8/23/2016, she wired $7,000 to the same address in Lampur, Malaysia. n At least she listened to her attorney. Officer was assisting in the investigation a vehicle crash at 14 Mile and I-75 and was speaking with the atfault driver, a 23-year-old female from Warren. She advised the officer that she was just returning from a drinking establishment and when asked how much she had been drinking, she refused to answer stating she wanted to speak with her attorney first. After contacting her attorney, she advised the officer she would consent to perform sobriety tests (good advice, not taking the PBT has consequences). The officer noted an odor of alcohol emanating from her as she spoke. She performed several sobriety evaluations, but the officer noted that she performed poorly. Here’s why. She submitted to a Preliminary Breath Test with a result of .26% – three times the legal limit. She was arrested and charged with Operating a Motor Vehicle While Under the Influence of Alcohol. n If this happens to you, go right home an call the card holders. Victim finished watching the movie in theater #13 and when she left, she forgot her fanny pack. When she returned she could not locate it but discovered one of the employees found it and turned it in to the front desk. When she got her property back, she discovered her State of Michigan Operator’s License, her Chase Credit Card, her Debit Card, her MJR Movie Card, and $80 in cash were stolen by unknown suspect(s). n She has a whole new set of problems now. An Officer initiated a traffic stop on a silver 2008 Mazda 6 for a vehicle equipment violation. The officer spoke with the driver who was unable to produce any identification. It was later determined the 26-year-old female from Shelby Township had her State of Michigan Operator’s License ‘Revoked’ by the Michigan Secretary of State due to two Operating a Motor Vehicle While Intoxicated convictions. She was arrested and found inside her car was her old prescription bottle for Adderall that contained 11 Hydrocodone & Acetaminophen pills. She was charged with Driving While License Suspended / Revoked and Illegal Possession of Barbiturates. Officers were able to awaken the driver, a 58-year-old female from Macomb, who stated she was coming from Greektown Casino and fell asleep while driving, striking a curb. She stated she was waiting for a friend to come pick her up when she must have fallen asleep again. She stated she had not drank any alcohol and is prescribed Zoloft but did take a Vicodin pill earlier in the morning. She was asked to step out of the vehicle to perform several sobriety evaluations to which she did but the officers noted that she performed poorly. She submitted to a Preliminary Breath Test with a result of .000%. She was arrested and while searching her vehicle, officers located a green plastic tube inside a golf bag in the trunk that contained suspected marijuana. The suspected marijuana was field tested with a narcotics test kit with the officers receiving a positive reaction for the presence of marijuana. The driver was transported to the Troy Police Lock-up Facility where she was read her Chemical Test Rights and agreed to take a blood test. She was charged with Possession of Marijuana and Operating a Motor Vehicle While Under the Influence of Narcotics pending laboratory results.

Used by therapists for decades, it has been proven effective for treating a number of problems. During the therapy, patients usually keep a sleep diary and work with a therapist to identify behaviors that are interfering with sleep. Experts from the University of Missouri believe that a family-based cognitive behavioral therapy may be the key for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who have problems sleeping. To better understand the benefits of a new, family-based cognitive behavioral therapy and how it may work to improve sleep in children with ASD, McCrae and Micah Mazurek, associate professor of health psychology, are conducting a sleep treatment study through the Research Core at the MU Thompson Center for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders. Eligible participants must be between the ages of six and 12, been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and have experienced problems falling or staying asleep. For more information on the study please contact the Thompson Center Research Core at 573-884-6838 or [email protected]. McCrae suggest that if parents are noticing that their children with ASD are having problems—it may be helpful to check their sleeping habits.

Here’s 10 Tips Boosting metabolism is the holy grail of weight watchers everywhere, but how fast your body burns calories depends on several things. Some people inherit a speedy metabolism. Men tend to burn more calories than women, even while resting. And for most people, metabolism slows steadily after age 40. Although you can't control your age, gender, or genetics, there are other ways to improve your metabolism. Here are 10 of them. Build Muscle Your body constantly burns calories, even when you're doing nothing. This resting metabolic rate is much higher in people with more muscle. Every pound of muscle uses about 6 calories a day just to sustain itself, while each pound of fat burns only 2 calories daily. Step Up Your Workout Aerobic exercise may not build big muscles, but it can rev up your metabolism in the hours after a workout. The key is to push yourself. High-intensity exercise delivers a bigger, longer rise in resting metabolic rate than low- or moderate-intensity workouts. To get the benefits, try a more intense class at the gym or include short bursts of jogging during your regular walk. Fuel Up With Water Your body needs water to process calories. If you are even mildly dehydrated, your metabolism may slow Total Purchase of $45 or More down. In one study, adults who drank eight or more glasses of water a day burned more calories than those who drank four. To stay hydrated, drink a glass of water or other unsweetened beverage before every meal and snack. Also, snack on fresh fruits and vegetables, which naturally contain water, rather than pretzels or chips. Should You Try Energy Drinks? Some ingredients in energy drinks can give your metabolism a boost. They're full of caffeine, which increases the amount of energy your body uses. They sometimes have taurine, an amino acid. Taurine can speed up your metabolism and may help burn fat. The American Academy of Pediatrics doesn’t recommend them for kids and teens. Snack Smart Eating more often can help you lose weight. When you eat large meals with many hours in between, your metabolism slows down between meals. Having a small meal or snack every 3 to 4 hours keeps your metabolism cranking, so you burn more calories over the course of a day. Spice Up Your Meals Spicy foods have natural chemicals that can kick your metabolism into a higher gear. Cooking foods with a tablespoon of chopped red or green chili pepper can boost your metabolic rate. Power Up With Protein Your body burns many more calo- ries digesting protein than it does eating fat or carbohydrates. As part of a balanced diet, replacing some carbs with lean, protein-rich foods can boost metabolism at mealtime. Good sources of protein include lean beef, turkey, fish, white meat chicken, tofu, nuts, beans, eggs, and low-fat dairy products. Sip Some Black Coffee If you're a coffee drinker, you probably enjoy the energy and concentration perks. Taken in moderation, one of coffee's benefits may be a short-term rise in your metabolic rate. Caffeine can help you feel less tired and even increase your endurance while you exercise. Recharge With Green Tea Drinking green tea or oolong tea offers the combined benefits of caffeine and catechins, substances shown to rev up the metabolism for a couple of hours. Research suggests that drinking 2 to 4 cups of either tea may push the body to burn 17% more calories during moderately intense exercise for a short time. Avoid Crash Diets Crash diets -- those involving eating fewer than 1,200 (if you're a woman) or 1,800 (if you're a man) calories a day -are bad for anyone hoping to quicken their metabolism.

September 5, 2016 “Nudges” Help Students Order Healthier Lunches Newswise — With back-to-school season in full swing, imagine this: Your child orders lunch via computer and gets a little message saying he or she needs to add more nutritious food groups. That combination helped some youngsters pick healthier meals, a University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences study shows. Researchers caution that their findings are not generalizable -- given the small sample size -- but they say the methods give school lunch programs and parents potential tools to help children eat more nutritious meals at school. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more than 5 billion school lunches are served daily in the United States. Additionally, although 99.9 percent of American children aged 12 to 18 consume fruits and vegetables daily, less than 1 percent eat the federally recommended amount of those foods. So the UF study could show helpful, albeit early, findings. In a published study in August issue of the Journal of Economic Psychology, UF researchers recruited 71 students to participate in the National School Lunch Program at a Florida public school. Two groups of fifth- and sixthgrade students preordered their lunches via computer. One of those groups received messages – what researchers call “nudges” -- indicating they had not selected all five components of a healthy lunch. Those are meat or a meat alternative, grain, fruit, vegetable and low-fat milk. The control group ordered their meals in the regular school lunch lines. Researchers found the students in the group that received nudges chose 51 percent more fruits, 29.7 percent more vegetables and 37 percent more low-fat milk than the control group. The group that simply ordered online without nudges chose 27 percent more fruits, 15.8 percent more vegetables and 16.3 percent more lowfat milk than the control group. The study did not examine actual food consumption. The nudges come from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s MyPlate program. According to its website, www.choosemyplate.gov/, MyPlate reminds consumers to find their healthy eating style and build it throughout their lifetimes. According to the MyPlate website, this means: • Focus on variety, amount and nutrition. • Choose foods and beverages with less saturated fat, sodium and added sugars. • Start with small changes to build healthier eating styles. • Support healthy eating for everyone. Jaclyn Kropp, a UF assistant professor of food and resource economics and the lead author on the study, emphasized researchers must further ■ ■ “In order to change we must be sick and tired of being sick and tired.” — Author Unknown Page 9 “A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book”. —Irish Proverb ADVANCED OPHTHALMOLOGY ASSOCIATES, PLC study the impact of nudges on school lunch selections. “While more research is needed to determine the long-term effects of repeated nudging, there is evidence that low-cost nudges can encourage the selection of healthy items in the school lunchroom,” Kropp said. Kropp conducted the study with help from other UF/IFAS researchers and Sonam Gupta, a senior research associate with IMPAQ International in Columbia, Maryland.

At East Coast Finishers all work is done by professionals in their trade. We are licensed and insured– All work done by professional craftsmen A carpenter is not the same person who will paint your home or put up drywall. Each tradesman specializes only in his trade. All work is done by our crews-- NO SUB CONTRACTORS. On exterior painting all work has 5 YEAR WARRANTY. Anyone can paint a house, but without the right preparation your job will not hold up more than 1 year. Because East Coast Finishers has been in business over 40 years WE BACK UP EVERY WARRANTY. WE GIVE 100%, not like companies that warranty today and are out of business tomorrow. When doing Historical homes, your regular builder or contractor cannot do this work. Most contractors believe that Durock is plaster because it hardens quickly. The real plaster on interiors carries 3 coats of plaster. First one is called lime coat or cement coat. That is supposed to wait for cure time which is around 6-7 days. Once it is applied, the plaster man puts in line on plaster so second coat can adhere (called brown coat) and lets it cure 2-3 days. Final coat on interior is called ice coat-- there is no sanding in plaster unless you can’t finish it. Right waiting time for curing is 5-6 days before priming. When using plaster, you want to use oil primer everywhere because plaster adheres best with oil. When doing Historical homes, it’s all about preparation. Even with newer homes, if you don’t prep it right you will never get your job done right. If a painter comes to your home and finishes everything in 2-3 days, you will be lucky if the job doesn’t peel in 1-2 years. Preparation work on any home takes 2-3 days, Painting is easy; preparation takes all the work.
