T h e C h r i s t m a s Tina Patterson is the enthusiastic and inspira tional leader of the Chelsea Senior Center. As the cen te r’s director, it's Patterson’s job to help cre ate programs and events for the area’s large and ever growing senior population. Following the recent announcement that the facility will be expanded to twice its current size, Patterson doesn't look at it as double the responsibility, yet double the opportunity. “We plan to really expand oilr health and wellness programs, working to keep folks active and engaged," Patterson said. "We hope to add dance classes and other fitness programs. We are working on some major grants that we will use to create best practices' mod els for healthy living. This is a very exciting time for the Senior Center.'' The Chelsea School District and Chelsea Senior Center announced late last week the expansion of the Chelsea Senior Center, The Senior Center will be dou bling its size, moving into offices recently occupied by the Community Education Departm ent in the Washington Street Education Center. See C E N T E R — Page 3-A f a i t h The Manger on Main Street By L en N fe h o ff Special Writer was driving down Main Street in Chelsea, rum bling along through the cold black night, the tires on the pickup truck crunching through the snow, headed toward home at the end of a long and tough week, when I spotted a powerfully improb able vision on the side of the road, It was the sort of thing that makes you close your eyes and shake your head and then goes away. So I did. But it didn’t. My eyes freshly focused, I realized that I had seen pre cisely what I thought I had seen. There, on the west side of Main Street, at the end of a row of shiny new frost-cov ered Fords, stood a manger. And, there, inside the manger, shifting restlessly to stay warm, circled a collec tion of wise men, shepherds, and all the other usual play ers of the nativity. The only figure I didn’t remember from my family crfeche set was that of a frigid soul who I stood in front of the manger, holding a llama on a rope. It was a nice touch. In the midst of puzzling over this I suddenly remem bered that I had heard some thing about our town featur ing a “living nativity scene” as part of its “hometown holi day” celebration. I breathed a sigh of relief, but then tight ened with a twinge of disap pointment. After all, a nativi ty scene seemed a little out of place at the end of a car lot. A nativity scene seemed like the sort of thing we should find amidst the trees in a city park, or on the land of an his toric farm, or maybe next to a stable. But a few yards away from a sign about advanta geous financing? It felt a lit tle odd. And this sense of strange ness was helped by the grim symbolism that new car lots have come to convey in the past few months. For most of my life, rows of new cars have held an irresistible appeal. I know, of course, that cars are just material things and that in the end they stop running and start rusting and we can’t take them with us. But I grew up in Michigan, where the car—and particu larly the new car—conveyed messages of freedom and self-expression and excite ment. Some kids grow up wanting to be astronauts or surgeons or President. I grew up wanting to drive a Mustang. These days, however, rows' of new cars remind us of other things. They remind us of deeply troubled financial and credit markets, of sur vival struggles \vithin an industry, of pleas for govern ment help, of layoffs and buy outs and ripple effects, and of dreams gone dark. So this set me to wondering. Of all the places on earth, I asked myself, why would you put a nativity scene there? Well, they say there are no stupid questions, but I imme diately realized that I’d just S e e M AN GER — P a g e 7 -A T e re s a Z i g m a n , e x e c u tiv e d ir e c to r o f b u s in e s s a n d o p e ra tio n s ; D a v e K i l l i p s , s u p e r in te n d e n t o f C h e ls e a sc h o o ls ; E d G r e e n le a f, o u tg o in g p re s id e n t o f th e S e n io r C e n te r ; a n d J o h n B o h le n d e r , in c o m in g p re s id e n t, w e re a ll in s tr u m e n ta l in s e c u r in g th e la r g e r space fo r th e C h e ls e a S e n io r C e n te r. City Council decides on ordinance changes By Sean Dalton Staff Writer Over the past month the Chelsea City Council has taken a number of actions on ordinance amendments. At their last meeting the council voted to take a sec ond look at an ordinance change for Chelsea Pharmacy that would allow a drive-through window to be installed at their new location. Chelsea Pharmacy is relo cating to the Polly's Shopping Center across the street from th eir current location on the west side of Main Street. The pharmacy was one of the businesses impacted by a fire that spread through the shopping complex on the corner of Main and Old U.S. 12 last May, although it Adopt-A-Farm Staff Writer W hen th e c o ld w in d b lo w s , th e b e s t p la c e to b e o n a f a r m is in s id e th e house.

Chelsea Pharmacy's par ent company, Hometown Pharmacy filed their appli cation for a text change that would perm it the window as a special land use in the C-4 R estricted Commercial District that the property they are moving to is locat ed within. The ordinance will be up for second reading and approval at the Jan. 13 council meeting. Other ordinance amend ments changed recently include: • Charges for both water and sewer service provided to any property in the serv ice area may have a lien placed upon said property flo .w e rs n e a r ly y e a r - r o u n d .

We lost our 29-year-old son Joel in a tragic accident. He was not just a loving son, but a devoted husband to Marcie and father of tour chil dren he adored. Family meant everything to him and he worked two jobs to provide his loved ones with things so many take for granted.'He raised the children with strong morals and values, coached soccer and football, volunteered for community7projects, was always there for family or a friend in need, helped total strangers and did everything a mother could be proud of and then some. He was a gentle, giving soul who touched the lives of so many. He took care of so many, yet neglect ed to have insurance for himself. On Dec. 7 a benefit to raise money for his young family was held at J. Dubs in Riverview. His 21-year-old sister Rachel, mature beyond her years, and Joel's stepmom Cheryl organized this entire event which was an overwhelming success. Several thousand dollars was raised which will be a tremendous help to Marcie in the days and months to come. The entire Cleary family worked the fundraiser, collected donations from local merchants who also posted flyers outlining the day’s events, arranged for entertainment throughout the day, held a silent auction, a Chinese raffle and 50-50 drawings throughout the day. The owner of J. Dubs, Eric, offered his business and staff for the entire day. I feel the kindness of my son’s heart has been returned to his wife and young family a hundred fold. Other parents who’d lost their children came in support, total strangers who’d read of our tragic loss came to offer prayers, help and encouragement Words could never adequately express my gratitude to our family and friends who have done so much to help us all during our terrible heartache. I’ve always believed in the goodness of people, maybe they're angels in our midst be they family, friends or even strangers. May God bless Joel and all who have helped us and his precious fami ly. Your kindness will never be forgotten.

Glazier Memorial Building? A. Next to the United Methodist Church. B. . It is the 14th District Courthouse at South and Main streets. C. Next to the Chelsea Retirement Community. Answer B. In 1901 Chelsea industrialist Frank P. Glazier constructed a Beaux Arts masterpiece by architect Claire Allen of Jackson in honor of Frank’s father, a Chelsea pioneer in banking. It was once called the finest bank building between Chicago and Detroit. Clad in Bedford limestone and rock-faced granite, two massive solid limestone columns flank the entrance. After use as Glazier’s Chelsea Savings Bank, it was closed during the Panic of 1907. Farmer’s & Merchants Bank bought the building in 1927. F&M and Kempf banks merged in 1934 to become today’s Chelsea State Bank, CSB occu pied the building until 1968 when they relocated to the comer of Orchard and Main streets. The Glazier bank building was donated to Washtenaw County in 1969. Since 1988 the build ing has housed the 14th District Court. 5 J)c se a ^ ta n h a rh A Heritage Newspaper Esuhlished m 1ST] JA M E S K . W IL L IA M S J R . President.

Mike is a member of the MFB Executive Committee and will be a delegate to the American Farm Bureau Federation national conven tion Jan. II to 14 in San Antonio, Texas. And somewhere in there he even finds the time to help run a pretty successful farm ing operation. The real reason for the state annual meeting is to develop policies that were approved at the local level and move them along to the national level. Mike explained. The Washtenaw County Farm Bureau approved local policy resolutions at its annu al meeting on Sept. 25. “At the state meeting we ') \ looked at about 1,000 resnlu tions coming from the 67 county Farm Bureaus throughout the state, and we soiled through all of them." Mike said. "We try to change legislation to help farmers." The most important issues that passed at the state meet ing were a long-sought ban on deer baiting, and policies on climate control and car bon trading. "There is some real con cern there," Mike said, refer ring to the climate change discussions. "You can just see money just flowing out of the Midwest into the coastal states if this thing isn't writ ten right." MFB has been in favor of banning deer baiting for sev eral years, first because of the spread of bovine tubercu losis from the deer herd to the cattle and daily indus tries, and now with the threat of chronic wasting disease. “ W ehr” H ere To K eep You S m ilin g ! <>Senior Discounts 0 Lumineers ❖ Invisalign ❖ New Patients Welcome 0- Payment Plans Available ❖ Most Insurances Accepted 4* Evening and Weekend Hours FAMILY & COSMETIC DENTISTRY ~ B a r b a r a M .
