Fenton — For those who enjoy the smell and history that can be found within the walls of
antique shops everywhere, you know how wonderful and amazing it is, like stepping back in time. For those who haven’t found that appreciation, hope-fully this will help you understand. For many, walking through an antique shop isn’t just about shop-ping. While many peo-ple collect antiques, there are also people who enjoy a stroll through antique stores simply because they like the history held within. Antique shops are like museums, maybe a little less organized, but offering all of that his-tory up for sale, so you can take it home with you to enjoy. “People love to come into antique stores because it brings

ANTIQUEContinued from Page 1Bback that ‘warm fuzzy’ memory of some-thing their mom or grandma had,” said Stacey Mielcarek at Yesterday’s Treasures in downtown Fenton. “I think that is why most people start collecting.” Up-cycling and repurposing are all the rage these days, from television shows to Pinterest boards, many are looking to an-tique stores for home décor. “It has brought quite a boost for business,” according to Mielcarek. She said, “People are realizing that it is actually cheaper to buy an old piece, made of real wood that has stood the test of time, than something new and made of particle board.” Michelle Sikora of Vintage Row, a new antique shop in Fenton on North LeRoy Street said, “There’s a thrill of the hunt for that perfect, restorable piece or something fun to be created.” It’s not just an adventure for the shoppers either. Mielcarek said, “One of the best parts of my job is that I am constantly learning.” When something comes in that she doesn’t know about, she does the research and learns new things. “ I learn a lot from my customers too, the ones who collect something in particular will always educate me and tell me the little ‘ins and outs’ of that particular thing,” she said. Mielcarek shared a story about one of the items in her store, a large coin from 1865. The United States Sanitary Commis-sion was a private relief agency created in 1861, to support sick and wounded soldiers of the U.S. Army during the American Civil War, and it continued afterwards. She said, “Women would get together and go around to raise funds for the sanitary commission. The larger donors would get one of these coins as a commemorative gift.” “Antiquing is a timeless hobby that has never gone out of style. There’s something to be said about the experience one has when they see something that is familiar to them, it’s a quick trip down memory lane,” said Sikora.
SHOPSContinued from Page 1B• Yesterday’s Treasures on South LeRoy Street offers many more upscale antique treasures and has items on two floors.• Vintage Row on North LeRoy Street is Fenton’s newest antique and vintage shop with old items and up cycled vintage finds.
Holly• Battle Alley Arcade Antique Mall on Battle Alley offers a plethora of antiques filling many rooms, includ-ing a couple upstairs.• The Cottage of Holly on South Saginaw Street is a wonderful blend of home décor, old and new.• Fabulous Finds Consignment and Retail on North Saginaw Street offers antiques and more.• Holly Hills Primitives on Civic Drive offers wonderful primitive antiques.• Holly’s Main Street Antiques offers two stories worth of antiques, and a ghost story.Linden• Memories & More Antiques on North Bridge Street share many rooms of collectables and antiques.• Thimbleberry Antiques on North Bridge Street is a delightful store with old items blended in with the stylish new items.
Sikora enjoys the stories that different items pull out of people. “ It’s so neat to see people come in the shop and say ‘I had one of those when I was little’ or ‘we had one of these growing up and we used to…’ and they tell the story about that piece.” She sees antiques as a glimpse into the past, an example of what life was once like. Anyone who has ever owned a piece of antique furniture knows that it has a qual-ity and craftsmanship that speaks for itself, made by hand out of natural hard wood and built to last for many generations.

Glassware is a popular item in antique shops. These pieces all have their own story to tell.

Started: 6-3Finished: 7-9, out of the playoffs Summary: Of course, this was just last season. Most Lions’ fans thought, based on the team’s record and the injury situations for many other teams, the Lions were a lock to make the play-offs and win the North Division. Instead, they lost six of their last seven games and didn’t make the playoffs.
Started: 6-2Finished: 10-6, lost Wild Card play-off game to New Orleans Saints 45-28 Summary: Led by quarterback Matthew Stafford, the Lions’ offense looked unbeatable at times. Detroit was 10-4 entering its last two games, and looking like a playoff contender. Instead, Detroit’s defense couldn’t stop anyone. The Lions lost their last three games, including the loss to the Saints in the playoffs.
Started: 5-2Finished: 9-7, out of the playoffsSummary: The Lions could’ve made the playoffs with a victory against the Bears during the last game of the season, but lose after the Bears’ Paul Edinger nails a 54-yard field goal. And, of course, the loss helped spur on the Matt Millen era, eventually resulting in the Lions’ 0-16 season in 2008. Bleak times were ahead for Lions’ fans.
Started: 6-2Finished: 8-8, lost Wild Card game to Washington Redskins 27-13Summary: I remember leaving the Pontiac Silverdome after the Lions beat the Rams to go 6-2. This team seemed like it was going places. But it wasn’t. The squad lost its last five games, including the playoff contest to the Redskins. The Rams ended up winning the Super Bowl that season.
Started: 6-2Finished: 12-4 lost to Washington Red-skins in NFC Championship game 41-10Summary: Best Lions’ season of my lifetime. The Lions were trailing 17-10 at Washington at halftime in the NFC Cham-pionship game. I remember thinking to myself ‘The Lions are one strong half of football away from the Super Bowl.’ They were outscored 24-0 at halftime and haven’t been close to the Super Bowl ever since.
The Detroit Lions are 6-2, but here’s a
By David Troppens The Detroit Lions are halfway through the regular season and enjoy a 6-2 record, placing second in the National Foot-ball Conference if the season ended today. One would think a 6-2 start during a 16-game season would probably be a good indicator of success for a squad. That’s probably true, unless you are the Detroit Lions. Since 1991, the Lions have started the season with records like 5-2, 6-2 and 6-3 six other times. During those seasons, the Lions failed to make the playoffs twice, and only won a playoff game once. I wanted to take a look back at some of those past seasons.
Started: 7-2Finished: 10-6, lost Wild Card game to Green Bay Packers 28-24Summary: In back-to-back games, the Lions played the Packers. The Lions won the NFL Central the last week of the sea-son to earn a home game in the Wild Card round of the playoffs the next week. Unfortunately, the Lions lost the next week when Brett Farve found Sterling Sharpe wide open in the endzone for the game-winning TD. I was at both of the games.

World War II vets fought for our freedom
TRI-COUNTY TIMES | SUBMITTED PHOTO
Elmer Schupbach is pictured here to the right of President and Mrs. Laura Bush, while he and his family were invited to The White House for Veterans Day in 2006. Schupbach and Laura Bush’s father, George Welch, both served in the same battalion during World War II.
u16 million Americans fought in World War II, and slightly more than a million are still livingBy Sally [email protected]; 810-629-8282 Elmer Schupbach, 89, is one of 1,034,727 World War II American veterans still living to share their war stories and life history. A member of the Curtis-Wolverton VFW Post #3253 in Fenton, Schupbach went into the Army at 18 and was dis-charged before he turned 21. He served in the Battery C 555th Company attached
to the 104th Infantry, according to a Times story written by Jan Rynearson on Nov. 23, 2006. They were called the Timberwolves. Schupbach fought in the Battle of the Bulge near the Ardennes Forest on the German-Belgium border, which according to history, was the worst battle during World War II in terms of losses to Americans. “We were one of the first troops into Germany,” said Schupbach. “I was on
uLocal observances planned in tri-county areaBy Sally [email protected]; 810-629-8282 This Tuesday, Nov. 11 will mark the 96th observance of Veterans Day, which marks the official end of World War I. An armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities between the Allied nations and Germany, went into effect on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Many local observances will honor Veterans Day 2014:• The Fenton Rotary Club will host its annual Veterans Day Breakfast on Tuesday, Nov. 11 at 7:15 a.m. at Spring Mead-ows Country Club. Guest speaker will be author Teresa Irish, who will present “The Journey of the Letters,” sharing her father’s 1,000 letters written from World War II, to his parents and his sweetheart, who would become his wife. The public is invited at a cost of $10 per
the front lines for 195 consecutive days.”
What he didn’t know then was that one of the young men he served with would later become a father to a little girl who grew up to become First Lady Laura Bush. Her father, George Welch, was a master gunner in the headquarters battery. Laura Bush planned a
Veterans Day Breakfast at The White House on Nov. 11, 2006 in honor of her dad and fellow Timberwolves, including Schupbach. In October, he received a phone call from The White House regarding the event, followed by engraved invitations for him and his children. Several of his grandchildren also joined them on the trip. In addition to the honor of meeting and dining with President and Mrs. Bush, Schupbach was able to meet with the 40 living vets from the 555th Unit Battalion and their families.

Show your patriotism on Veterans DayuDisplaying the flag on Nov. 11 is a show of patriotic support to all veterans, both living and deceasedBy Sally [email protected]; 810-629-8282 Veterans Day is a day of celebration and honor, so it is a very appropriate day to fly a flag. Because it’s not a day of mourning, flags are not flown at half-staff. Here’s how to honor Veterans Day by flying Old Glory:• Attach the flag to the flagpole with the blue field in the upper left corner.• Raise the flag to the top of the flag-pole as early as possible in the morn-ing hours (sunrise at the earliest).• Leave the flag flying throughout the entire day of Nov. 11 as long as there is no inclement weather. If rain or snow develops, take the flag down unless the flag is made of weatherproof fabrics that won’t suffer damage from moisture.• Take the flag down at or a few min-utes before sunset.Source: eHow.com

Thank you for protecting us. Thank you for the security we have and feel here at home. We know you sac-rificed much for your country and all of us. And though you may no longer wear the uniform, we know you’re always on call to serve and protect the freedom and security of the United States of America.

uVietnam veterans recall their lack of support from government and countryBy Sally [email protected]; 810-629-8282 Gerald “Hawk” Hawkins, 68, re-members coming home from Vietnam after serving in the U.S. Marine Corps in the north part of South Vietnam from 1966-67. “The guys who came back, from Vietnam especially, were not welcomed home,” said Hawkins. “Not by our coun-try, not by our government. Simply put, we gave the right of freedom to all U.S. citizens, while sacrificing our own.” All that has changed in today’s non-wartime climate. “People stop me and come up to me at the grocery store and thank me for my time of service,” said Hawkins, who always wears his “colors” on his cap, so they can see he is a Vietnam veteran from the U.S. Marine Corp. “It means a lot to me. There’s not much else I can say in return other than, ‘thank you for giving me this honor.’”
Notes of thanksThanks came later for many Vietnam vets

Hawkins has put a lot of his energy into veterans’ advocacy issues, with active in-volvement at the Curtis-Wolverton VFW Post #3243, where he is Past Commander and Past Honor Guard Commander. “I was the only All-American Commander this post has ever had,” said Hawkins, who led the post from 1992 through 1994.

‘White-Coat Syndrome’ or High Blood Pressure?DR. ROACH: My 21-year-old son is a college athlete, a sprinter, but he has had recurrent high systolic blood pressure readings since he was a senior in high school. He’s generally easygoing and not stressed. Doctors always attribute the elevated results to ‘white-coat syndrome,’ since he is otherwise in excellent health and doesn’t drink, smoke or use drugs. The last reading was 142/78. Once, a nurse had him rest quietly for a few minutes and rechecked the reading; it was lower, but still high. He just finished four months of rigorous basic training with the Army with no problems (his high reading on his physical was put down to nervousness), and he may now be anxious no matter where or when the reading is taken, but I’m worried that something else may be going on. Is there something we should have checked? — K.C.
ANSWER: The real question is whether your son has
‘white coat’ hypertension, or just hypertension. The best way of answering this is with a 24-hour blood-pressure monitor, which checks the blood pressure every 15-30 minutes while awake, and less frequently at night. If those readings are mostly in the normal range, we could conclude that he has reactive, or white-coat, hypertension. However, it is possible that he has hypertension. Healthy young people
sometimes get hypertension, and he may be able to get his blood pressure down without medication, through salt reduction and relaxation techniques. But if he needs them, there are medications that will not affect his athletic abilities. I sometimes order an echocardiogram to look for changes in the heart that go along with high blood pressure. However, the elevated blood pressure readings are only of a few years’ duration, so he might not have these yet. I think the 24-hour BP monitor is the way to go. High blood pressure is one of the most common ailments for the general population.
