    The Most Reverend Patrick R.Cooney, 78

    (MArCh 10, 1934 oCT. 15, 2012)With great thanksgiving for his life

    and ministry, the

    Diocese of Gaylord

    announces that theMost Reverend

    Patrick R. Cooney,our beloved Bishop

    emeritus, passed into

    eternal life Mondaymorning, Oct. 15, 2012. Bishop Cooney

    was 78 years old.Installed as the Third Bishop of the

    Diocese of Gaylord on Jan. 28, 1990,Bishop Cooney served here until his

    retirement in 2009, leading the

    Catholic Church within the northern21 counties of Michigans Lower

    Peninsula for 20 years.Bishop Patrick Cooney was a great

    servant of the Church and a true fa-ther to the clergy, religious and faith-

    ful of the Diocese of Gaylord, stated

    Bishop Bernard A. Hebda. He will beremembered as a shepherd who loved

    his flock, admired his fellow priests,and selflessly poured himself out for

    the good of this local Church.His trust in Divine Providence and

    love of the Churchs liturgy will al-

    ways inspire me, Bishop Hebdaadded. Wherever I go in the Diocese,

    there are men and women who can at-test to his extraordinary kindness. He

    was a bishop of deep faith and a gener-ous heart who freely used his God-

    given gifts for the good of the

    Church.Upon his retirement, Bishop Cooney

    moved to the Detroit area to be nearerto his family, but joyfully returned to

    Gaylord for special events. He joined

    all four bishops who had served theDiocese of Gaylord in a historic mo-

    ment as the diocese celebrated its 40thanniversary in 2011. His most recent

    visits took place this June when he re-turned for the ordination of the dio-

    ceses newest priest , Rev. Peter Wigton,

    and then in July when the entire Dio-cese of Gaylord was honored by Gay-

    lords Alpenfest Committee for itsimpact on the local communities of

    the diocese.We were always so happy when

    Bishop Cooney was able to come back

    for special events in the life of the dio-cese; we felt more complete with his

    presence, Bishop Hebda added. His20 years of leadership in the diocese

    were a great blessing and he willsurely be missed.

    Sadly, due to his failing health,

    Bishop Cooney was unable to be pres-ent for the rededication and blessing of

    the Diocesan Conference Center re-named the Cooney Conference Cen-

    ter in his honor on Oct. 6. TheDiocesan Pastoral Center, located

    right next to St. Mary Cathedral in

    Gaylord, was built in the Jubilee Year2000 under Bishop Cooneys direction.

    It was his vision to bring the Chanceryoffices to the grounds with St. Mary

    Cathedral so that they would stand to-gether as the center of the diocese.

    During the ceremony, Bishop Hebda

    noted Bishop Cooneys deep apprecia-tion for the liturgical and pastoral re-

    newal set in place by the SecondVatican Council. He said it seemed es-

    pecially appropriate to be naming the

    Diocesan Conference Center in honorof Bishop Cooney as the Catholic

    Church marks the 50th anniversary ofthe opening of the Council and obser-

    vance of a Year of Faith.He worked so hard and planned so

    carefully this space so that it might be,

    along with the Cathedral, part of theheart of the whole diocese, Bishop

    Hebda said.More than half of the diocesan

    priests currently serving the Dioceseof Gaylord were ordained by Bishop

    Cooney.Bishop Cooney released three Pas-

    toral Letters during his episcopate.

    The first, An Agenda for the Churchin Gaylord, issued in 1991, offered the

    priorities which would guide the

    Catholic Church in the Diocese ofGaylord under his leadership: to Wor-

    ship the Almighty, Cherish andShare His Word, and to Co-Build the

    Kingdom.The second Pastoral Letter, The Se-

    quence for the Celebration of the

    Sacraments of Initiation of Childrenin the Diocese of Gaylord, released in

    January of 2001, restored the order ofthe Sacraments of Initiation to Bap-

    tism, Confirmation and First Eu-charist.

    The third Pastoral Letter, Catech-

    esis: The Primary Goal of the

    Church, stressed the importance ofeffective catechesis from womb totomb and set out a new structure for

    catechetical efforts in the Diocese ofGaylord which remains in place today.

    It was released in December, 2006.

    Numerous other initiatives were un-dertaken during Bishop Cooneys

    tenure including three different dioce-san Pastoral Assemblies and the con-

    vening of a Parish and Personnel TaskForce which carried out an extensive

    three-year consultation process. He

    also instituted a seven-year plan for

    evangelization and increased use ofbroadcast media including televis-

    ing of the weekly Eucharistic liturgy

    from St. Mary Cathedral. Under his di-

    rection, a diocesan office was foundedto focus on illuminating the social

    teachings of the Church which also

    led to a solidarity partnership with the

    Diocese of Matagalpa, Nicaragua. Thediocesan Center for Catholic Studies,

    through which all of the workshopsand trainings sponsored by the diocese

    are offered, was also established underBishop Cooneys leadership. The Cen-

    ter provides opportunities for ongoing

    faith development for those seeking

    certification in catechetical and litur-gical ministries, as well as for those

    who simply desire to enrich their faith

    life.

    With a sound fiscal mind, BishopCooney was successful at keeping the

    diocesan budget in balance and he

    worked to establish the Northern

    Michigan Catholic Foundation, an en-dowment foundation to help ensure

    the vitality and ministries of the

    Catholic Church in the Diocese of

    Gaylord for generations to come.Throughout his life, Bishop Cooney

    sought to serve God to the best of his

    ability and placed his unwaveringtrust in Him. Upon his episcopal ordi-nation, Bishop Cooney chose as his

    motto Forever Faithful.

    He was immensely proud of his

    Irish heritage and enjoyed trips to hishomeland with his brother and sisters.

    Though he loved reading, walking and

    rooting on his favorite football teams,

    he most enjoyed spending time withpeople, sharing a meal and informal

    conversation.

    Bishop Cooney was the oldest of

    four children born to Michael andElizabeth (Dowdall) Cooney, both now

    deceased. His brother, Michael, is a

    priest of the Archdiocese of Detroit,

    currently serving as pastor of St.Peter parish in Mount Clemens. One

    sister, Sister Leontia Cooney, O.P., is a

    member of the Adrian Dominicans

    but retired from active ministry. Hisother sister, Mary A. Cooney, served asa teacher and retired from the Detroit

    Public School System in 2001.

    North American College in Rome.Following his ordination and com-

    CountyCommissionCOntinued frOm Pg. 1

    Some of the townships and

    all of the cities in the countyfeel they are better equipped to

    enforce soil erosion and groundwater runoff issues them-

    selves. Were putting the cartbefore the horse here, said

    Commissioner Chris Chris-

    tensen. For us to sign this be-fore we know whos on board

    with it defeats the purpose.A member of the audience,

    John Haggard of CharlevoixTownship, commented on the

    ordinance. I dont believe it is

    needed in Charlevoix County, Iknow the home builders associ-

    ation is not in favor of it, hesaid. Haggard expressed con-

    cern about the countys abilityto enforce the ordinance and

    the ability for the fees imposed

    by it to pay for it. It may payfor itself this year but down the

    road you will need to paysalaries, retirement and health

    benefits, he said.

    One complaint about the or-dinance is that it has been pre-

    sented to each of themunicipalities as if everyone

    else is adopting it. If weregoing to do it lets do it honestly

    and fairly and I dont think

    were doing it that way, saidGillespie.

    The intention of the policy is

    to put the county in the legalposition that it was in the pastand have the same rules for

    everyone throughout county.

    Thats the reason to opposethis, because if they are not all

    doing it, its not uniform, saidChristensen. Approval of the

    ordinance was postponed untilthe October 24 meeting when

    an accurate account of who is

    adopting the ordinance can bediscovered.

    On September 28 SheriffSchneider was in a car accident

    while on duty on M66 near cas-tle Farms. At the county com-

    missioners meeting he made

    this statement: Two weeks

    ago this sheriff was terriblyhumbled by the response inthis community (to my acci-

    dent) and Im still humbledtoday by it. I want to go on

    record to say how proud I am of

    this community and Im proudto serve it.

    The next regularly scheduledCounty commissioners meet-

    ing will be held on October 24at 7 P.M.

    On October 8, 2012 at 16:03

    p.m., the Charlevoix CountySheriffs Office responed to a

    single vehicle rollover accidentcausing personal injury on

    Klooster Road West of BlackRoad.

    The 2008 Saturn Four-Door

    driven by Jacie Lablance, age16 of Charlevoix, was West-

    bound on Klooster Road. As

    the vehicle crested the hill andthe pavement ended, Lablance

    lost control on the gravel roadsurface. The vehicle spun

    around clockwise and ran offthe road to the right. The vehi-

    cle slid along a deep embank-

    ment and rolled onto its side asit impacted a small group of

    trees.

    Lablance and her front seatpassenger, Madison Palmer age

    16 from Charlevoix, were notinjured. Backseat passenger,

    Autumn Drost age 16 ofCharlevoix, was transported

    to McLaren Northern Michigan

    Hospital by Charlevoix EMS forhead and neck pain.

    Charlevoix EMS and

    Charlevoix Fire Department as-sisted the Sheriffs Office on

    scene.Speed and driver inexperi-

    ence were contributed to thecrash.

    One person injured in rollover accident

    On the Nov. 6 ballot,there are a bushel of rotten

    proposals that are bad forMichigan. They override

    and circumvent the workof the constitutionally es-

    tablished legislative

    process for the benefit ofspecial interests. When

    people ask me how I intendto vote on these ballot pro-

    posals, I leave them with

    one phrase: 1 is a YES,NO on the rest!

    Vote YES on Proposal 1!A yes vote will uphold the

    states emergency managerlaw that was just put into

    effect last year. Without

    this law, all state taxpayerswould be left holding the

    debt for the few irresponsi-bly managed entities (mu-

    nicipalities or schooldistricts).

    Vote NO on Proposal 2!

    This proposal changes the

    Constitution by expandingthe roll of collective bar-

    gaining and would rollback advancements in

    labor laws by 40 years. Pas-sage of this proposal

    would revoke many popu-

    lar and newly enacted re-forms. Passage could also

    require local and state taxincreases to fund increased

    costs from entitlements

    guaranteed in this pro-posal.

    Vote NO on Proposal 3!This proposal would place

    in our constitution a 25percent renewable energy

    mandate by the year 2025.

    It is estimated that themandate would cost us

    (electric users) in excess of$12 billion in increased

    electricity costs. Thiscould cause numerous lay-

    offs and place significant

    hardships on hard-working

    families.Vote NO on Proposal 4!

    This proposal would createthe Michigan Quality

    Home Care Council(MQHCC) in our constitu-

    tion. This proposal is re-

    ally about the forcedunionization of nearly

    60,000 in-home care work-ers, many of whom are

    family members who take

    care of other family mem-bers. It would also require

    the State to send a portionof the home-care benefit to

    a Union for the payment ofits dues. This will reduce

    the amount which can be

    used for care.Vote NO on Proposal 5!

    This proposal would re-quire a 2/3 majority vote of

    the Legislature or astatewide vote of the peo-

    ple to impose new taxes, in-

    crease existing taxes or

    expand the base of taxa-tion. I have always sup-

    ported lowering taxes forindividuals and small busi-

    nesses. Unfortunately thisproposal binds us to a posi-

    tion that doesnt allow for

    tax reforms that make oursystem simpler and fairer

    and provide net tax reduc-tions. In fact, had this pro-

    posal been enshrined into

    our constitution last year,the job-killing Michigan

    Business Tax would nothave been able to be re-

    pealed.Vote NO on Proposal 6!

    This proposal would re-

    quire a majority of votersat the state and local level

    to approve all new interna-tional bridges or tunnels

    for motor vehicles. Thisproposal is supported by

    the owner of the Ambassa-

    dor Bridge who does not

    want competition. The newbridge crossing will not

    cost tax payers and is goodfor Michigans economy.

    Since the beginning of2011, Michigan has seen a

    tremendous turnaround.

    Along with Gov. Snydersleadership, we have en-

    acted significant reformsthat have balanced our

    budget. We have seen

    tremendous savings withinour local units of govern-

    ment and school districts,ensured that the best and

    brightest teachers are inthe classroom and insti-

    tuted pro-growth policies

    that attract and retain jobproviders in Michigan. To

    continue this positive mo-mentum, please join me in

    saying 1 is a YES, NO onthe rest!

    S. hwa Wa,

    37t Sat dstct

    Dear Editor,

    If Michigan is going to

    get its economy moving

    again, one of the key fac-tors is a stable legal cli-

    mate. This action helpsdrive businesses from our

    state. We need to keep con-servative judges like Jus-

    tices Stephen Markmanand Brian Zahra and Judge

    Colleen OBrien on the

    Court who will follow therule of law instead of a lib-

    eral agenda. They are

    tough conservative rule oflaw judges that uphold the

    law as it was written, anddo not legislate from the

    bench. They believe everyAmerican citizen deserves

    the same fair treatmentand unbiased interpreta-

    tion of the law. It is not the

    intention of the Constitu-tion for our judges to be ac-

    tivists and representatives

    for special interest groups.This years Supreme

    Court election is extremelyimportant to all Michigan

    citizens. The MichiganSupreme Court hands

    down decisions that effectthe daily lives of every

    Michigan citizen. This No-

    vember I will cast my votefor Justices Stephen Mark-

    man and Brian Zahra and

    Judge Colleen OBrien onthe non-partisan ballot. I

    encourage you to do thesame.

    Did you know that, on aver-

    age, 146 vehicle/deer crashesoccur every day in Michigan?

    According to the MichiganState Police Criminal Justice

    Information Center, there

    were a total of 53,592 reportedcrashes in 2011, resulting in

    1,464 injuries and eight deaths.In 2010, there were 55,867

    crashes. Many crashes go un-reported, so actual crash num-

    bers are estimated to be much

    higher.The Michigan Deer Crash

    Coalition (MDCC) says mo-torists can help avoid danger-

    ous encounters with deer byfollowing these tips:

    - Watch for deer, especially

    at dawn and dusk.- If you see one deer, ap-

    proach cautiously. There maybe more out of sight.

    - Deer often travel single file,so if you see one cross a road,

    chances are more are nearby

    waiting to cross, too. Whenstartled by an approaching ve-

    hicle, they can panic and dartout from any direction with-

    out warning.

    - Be alert all year long, espe-cially on two-lane roads.

    Watch for deer warning signs.They are placed at known

    deer-crossing areas and serveas a first alert that deer may

    be near.

    - Slow down when travelingthrough areas heavily popu-

    lated by deer.Its important to under-

    stand that its safer to come toa controlled stop whenever a

    deer is in your path than to

    swerve and go off the road,said State Transportation Di-

    rector Kirk T. Steudle. Dontveer for deer or swerve to

    avoid an animal because it canbe more dangerous and even

    deadly.

    The MDCC is a broad affilia-tion of groups representing

    law enforcement, traffic safety,

    the insurance industry, natu-ral resources, higher educa-tion, and strategic regional

    planning in the public and pri-

    vate sectors. The MDCC seeksto increase awareness of vehi-

    cle-deer crashes and reducethe number of deaths and in-

    juries occurring each year onstate roads. Members include

    the Michigan Department of

    Transportation (MDOT), theMichigan Department of Nat-

    ural Resources, the MichiganDepartment of State, Michi-

    gan Sheriffs Association, theOffice of Highway Safety Plan-

    ning (OHSP), the Southeast
