In the classic ‘60s animated TV series, “The Jetsons”, the year was 2062 and everyday life was one of computer screens, buttons, robots and flying cars. In the future, when someone gets sick, the doctor is just a button away. No travel needed, prescriptions are issued electronically and then delivered to your door. Healthcare is quick, efficient and accessible. With technology, anything is possible.

Higher interest rates usually result in falling house prices, as the higher mortgage interest rate increases the monthly payment. Consider a $250,000 house purchased with a 20% downpayment. When the 30-year fixed mortgage rate is 3%, as it was in 2021, the monthly payment is about $850. When this interest rate rises to 7.5% as it did in 2023, the monthly payment doubles to $1,400. Housing thus becomes less affordable and the demand for houses falls, reducing their price; the fact that this did not happen in 2023 was surprising. A likely explanation for this is that housing supply remains constrained, which is keeping prices elevated.

It’s February, when Valentine’s Day gives us an opportunity to show our loved ones how much they mean to us. In 2023, Americans showed their love to the tune of nearly $26 billion in greeting cards, candy, flowers, fine dining, jewelry, clothing and more. But contrary to popular opinion, Valentine’s Day is not really a “Hallmark Holiday.”  It has actually been celebrated since the 5th century, long before any of the businesses benefiting from the day existed.

Joe Gage wanted a quiet birthday. On the day he turned 87, he was to be honored by a small group of local businessmen for his contributions to Flushing’s economy as a member of its Board of Commerce, for his voice on the Village Council and for his unwavering support of its community at-large. As word got out, however, what was meant to be a small ceremony became one of the biggest community dinners, drawing the largest crowd to Flushing in its young history. The event was attended by over 1,300 people who all came to pay their respects to Flushing’s top man of integrity and high-esteem. Gage was moved, saying “I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve all this. I don’t think I deserve it. I’ve lived a long and happy life, especially the part I’ve lived in Flushing.”

Editor’s Letter

I sure hope everyone is enjoying this Michigan summer as much as I am. As I write this column, we’re just past the Fourth of July celebrations and appreciating the fact that this beautiful country is now 250 years old. My husband and I were fortunate to be invited to two get-togethers on Lake Fenton on July 4. One party was filled with young families and children enjoying the lake, while the other reunited old friends. Both were equally wonderful. We ended the evening on our patio, taking in the fireworks all around us. We’re especially grateful that our dog doesn’t pay attention to the loud booms.
