Authors Moods
become poetry
Roxann Gulick to sign books
at Castle in the Sky on Dec. 2
By Tom Wearing
twearing@pageone-inc.com
IMLAYCITY
When Sarah Graver opened
Castle in the Sky bookstore
at @150 Pop on Bancroft
Street in early November,
she wanted to provide a
place for fledgling authors
to introduce their literary
works to the public.
Graver makes good on
that promise on Saturday,
Dec. 2, when Imlay City
poet Roxann (Vlad) Gulick
visits from 1-5 p.m. to read
excerpts from Moods, her
newly-published book of
poetry.
In addition to selected
readings, Gulick will make
herself available for book
signings.
Gulick, 73, is no strang-
er to Imlay City. A resident
for 45 years, she worked as
a library aide before earning
a degree from U-M Flint in
1994 and becoming an
English, Drama and sociolo-
gy teacher in Imlay City.
In the 1970s, she wrote
a regular column for the
Tri-City Times, entitled
Country Roads. naturally and must be some-
Like the John Denver
song, she says.
Gulicks teaching career
also took her to Flint
schools, where her experi-
ences led to some intensely
sobering and sometimes
tragic fodder for her poetry.
After retiring in 2006,
Gulick began writing poetry
as a creative outlet and to
share her thoughts and
observations of life.
Gulick says Moods is a
compilation of poems that
run the gamut of her per-
sonal experiences and
observations.
I can only write when
Im in the mood, she says.
I have to take advantage of
the moment. Hence, the title
of the book.
The poems I write
reflect the moods I was in
when I wrote thembut
usually when I feel inspired.
I never know when Ill
be inspired, but I cant write Gulick incorporates some of

Gulick says. It has to come

thing that is meaningful to
me.
Sometimes, Ill wake
up in the middle of the night
with a thought or an idea,
she says. Ill write them
down in my journal, which
is right next to my favorite
chair.
Her 76-page book of
poems is divided into 11
chapters ranging from
observations of the chang-
ing seasons to poignant
reflections of her personal
life.
The final chapter of
Moods is dedicated to the
memory of her late hus-
band, George Gordon
Gulick, whose absence from
her life remains profound.
The hurt and pain of

SMALL
Quantity
Not too long ago small quantity full-color jobs were just
not cost efficient. The cost of film, plate, and make-readies
drove the price beyond reach. Todays technology elimi-
nates these costs and creates a high quality product.
SPEEDY
Turnaround
With the change in technology comes improvement in the
cycle time for your project. What used to require a week
can now be done in a couple of business days.

Why is Burnside rush-

Burnside, Burlington,

mom and pop shops and
family farms. I grew up in
North Branch on a family
farm, and it was there I
learned the lessons of hard
work, integrity, family val-
ues, and to always give a
helping hand to my neigh-
bors.
I love life on the farm.
There are many of us that
do but, frankly, cant keep

and tighter financial mar-
gins each year. Many farm-

When I first found out
about the windmills, Ill
admit I was skeptical. But
then I started doing my
own research and found out
that some of the informa-
tion Id been told couldnt
have been more wrong.
For example, let me be
the first to say that farmers
will not get rich by putting
windmills on their property.
The revenue from wind-
mills would merely bring
financial stability to our
communitys family farms.
Instead of farmers telling
their children that they have
to move away to get jobs,
with windmills they can
say welcome to the family
business! surplus funds in their town-
Windmills will allow our
farming families to be
secure and build their lives
in our communities. They
will also benefit our local
economy, because more
people will have additional

maybe, in a sense, that is a
good thing. There may be
far less hook-ups or
casual sexual encounters
when one possesses the
knowledge that morning
after regrets may morph
into complaints of sexual
harassment or even worse,
criminal complaints.
Society is going to have to
come to grips that there are
no defined boundary lines.
That being said, dont
you wonder what is there
about persons in positions
of power that makes them
believe that the shoddy,
and downright disgusting,

the opposite sex is an
acceptable method to

what I said so much.
For those who havent
seen my boss lately, let me
just say that Randy has
lost a lot of weight. I
would say at least 50
pounds, maybe more. Its
hard to say because hes
always been a sturdy look-
ing guy. I notice the differ-
ence not because Im siz-
ing him up or Im a lecher off-the-cuff comment may
or anything like that. I
notice because I KNOW
what it takes to accom-
plish that sort of goal. As
one who has restricted cal-
ories since puberty hit, I
am intimately aware of the
discipline, the persever-
ance, the commitment, the
denial, and did I mention
the discipline it takes to
drop that kind of weight
and keep coasting along
at the new level.
I know how dreadful
and daunting it can be, yet
how theres sweet libera-
tion to be found in that
kind of self-control. I
know all about it, and
admire what it takes to
make a plan and stick to it.
And so I felt free in the
knowing. Free to com-
ment, thinking it perfectly
fine and acceptable.
Complimentary even.
And then it hits me
while Im making the yoga

Branch and Burlington
Township recently passed
moratoriums to make sure
they can accommodate
both resident and landown-
er concerns so that both
parties can win, whether
they want windmills or not.
I strongly recommend
that Burnside Township
officials do the same, and
make such a quick deci-
sion. Our community needs
to come together for a logi-
cal conversation to under-
stand how we as neighbors
can make a decision that
works for everyone.
I hope Burnside

things to be done correctly

Finding your roots, Part I
O ne of my favorite TV
shows is Finding
Your Roots on PBS; and
in 1976 the book Roots
by Alex Haley and the fol-
lowing TV mini-series on
ABC in 1977 caused a sen-
sation across the country.
Many people became fas-
cinated by

research into
their own

For exam-
my
Rick Liblong friend Rick
Hinton can
trace his
mothers family back to
Thomas Jefferson and
before. Former colleague
Jim Welton has researched
his maternal side to about
the year 1100 and his
fathers side to about 1600.
Since America is a nation
of immigrants, most of us
descended from people
who came from some-
where else.
I have to admit I didnt
get caught up in the craze
but did remember many of
the stories that my paternal
grandfather, Nick J.
Liblong, had told me. Oh,
how I wish I had recorded
or kept notes of those con-
versations.
He had come from
Austria-Hungary, born in
1890, and emigrated to the
United States in 1906 to
Cincinnati, married my
grandmother, Emma
Kempf in 1910 and moved
to Berville and then
Almont, Michigan. They
had two sons, Joseph J.
born in 1911 and Nick A.,
my dad, born in 1915.
Grandfather told me that
he came from a village
named Molin but I never
could find it on a map.
Thats because it doesnt
exist anymore.
After the Internet came
along I typed in Molin and
Wikipedia told me: Molin
was a village in Banat,
Serbia. The village was
founded in 1832 and exist-
ed until 1961. It was locat-

The first child,

was followed by Elisabeth

Through this book I
was able to determine that

were Kaspar and Katharina

in 1801 but thats as far

Rides needed to VA facilities in Flint, Saginaw, Detroit, Yale

The Lapeer County
Department of Veterans
is seeking volunteer driv-
ers to transport veterans
to and from their VA med-
ical appointments.
Volunteer drivers will
pick up veterans at the
Lapeer County VA office
and transport them to VA
medical facilities in
Saginaw, Detroit, Ann
Arbor, Flint and Yale.
Those interested must
undergo background and
driving record checks to
qualify as a volunteer.

Who pays and who gets services
The basic function of
government has always
been to collect taxes and
then use that money to pro-
vide protection and servic-
es to us.
That is why it is impor-
tant to keep track of WHO
pays the taxes and WHO
gets the services.
The Republican
Congress is in the process
of trying to pass a new tax
structure and it is important
to see where the money
will go.
They are proposing
that the government cut
taxes and bring in 1.5 tril-
lion LESS dollars. Who
gets to keep this money?
One trillion of this cut goes
to big companies, their

Why do the Republicans
think these cuts are justi-
fied? Because, once again,
they claim that the rich will
use all this new wealth to
rain money down on the
working class. The rich are
awash in money now, and
here in Michigan wages
have gone backwards or
stayed stagnant. It hasnt
worked. Obviously, most
of the rich feel no obliga-
tion to help the working
class versus buying them-
