Terry Pepper was traveling to Michi-gan for a fishing trip when his wife suggested they stop and take a few photos of lighthouses on the way. After all, she had just given him a new camera, and a friend back home loved lighthouses, so why not? He agreed and the couple spent the day walking the beach, photographing the St. Joseph lighthouse, where they had stopped.

“We had such a nice time, we de-cided to see what other lighthouses we could find around the area,” Terry Pepper said. “As it ended up, four of the six days we were on vacation to go fishing, we ended up checking out lighthouses instead.”

This was the beginning of lifelong passion that would lead Pepper to become the first executive director

Coach, player to be inducted into Harbor Springs High School Athletic Hall of Fame Friday

2013 Harbor Springs High School Athletic Hall of Fame inductees Ed Kelbel, Jr. and Joe Flynn were both part of the 1976 State Runner-Up basketball team; Kelbel as a player, Flynn as assistant (and Junior Varsity) coach.

By Cynthia Morse Zumbaugh

I cannot imagine two more worthy recipients for this year’s induction into the Hall of Fame than Eddie Kelbel, Jr. and Joe Flynn. They are worthy not only for their achieve-ments in sports, but for the positive impact that they had on the lives around them.

The two men will be inducted to the Hall of Fame during Friday’s, Feb. 8, home basketball game.

I remember when Joe Flynn was setting basketball scoring records at Petoskey St. Francis High School. His competitive spirit was unparal-leled but it was never in an “in your face” way and his winning ways were infectious. Joe began as a track coach in Harbor Springs, but basketball was his game; if you doubt that, just look at the accomplish-ments of his children. Off-season,

you could always find him at a Gus Macker tourney or in the gym for open basketball.

As former player David Rhine said, “Mr. Flynn is the reason that Mr. (Hall of Fame coach Charlie) Paige was so successful.”

No one could ever doubt the coaching prowess of Charlie Paige, but once Joe Flynn began as his right hand man and Junior Varsity basket-ball coach, basketball success truly arrived in Harbor Springs. Another former player, Tom Burley, noted that “it was no coincidence that Harbor’s string of 10 district titles began when the teams that Flynn had coached in junior high reached the varsity level.”

Another aspect of Joe’s character was shown in the fact that while being a winner was incredibly im-portant, it wasn’t everything.

Check forging crime hits local businessLocal bank, business owner, police combine to thwart scam here last week

By Jessica Evans Harbor Light Newspaper

Thank goodness for small towns, where people know and look out for each other. The close-knit com-munities in northern Michigan ex-emplified such tightness on Tuesday, January 29, proving a huge help to Harold Jones, owner of Copy Plus in Fairview Plaza on State Street in Harbor Springs.

Jones received a call mid-after-noon from the First Community Bank, located on the corner of State and Lake Streets. The teller informed him that there was a customer there who wanted to cash a payroll check for $2,200. Since Copy Plus (which consists of three employees) never issues payroll checks for this amount, Jones drove down to be bank to investigate the situation.

“I pulled up to the window, where the teller showed me the check, and right away I knew it wasn’t right,” Jones said. “The guy trying to cash it was actually still over in the other lane, so the teller asked him over the

In terms of critical natural resources in northern Michigan, the Great Lakes-- arguably the most vis-ible resource-- often spring to mind first. Perhaps less noticeable, but equally as important, are the vast sand dunes that stretch above the shore. An environmentally important ecosystem in its own right, the dunes provide recreational, scientific, and educational benefits to Michigan residents.

The future protection of these sand dunes has been in question recently, due to a new law that amended Michigan’s Sand Dune Protection Act. Public Act 297, signed by Governor Snyder in August 2012, will mean somewhat more relaxed regulations for gaining approval to build in dune areas.

A major component of the law details local government’s involvement in dune protec-tion, prohibiting municipalities from enacting stronger-than-state regulations for these natural areas. Because of this, Emmet County is repealing its Critical Dune Ordinance, which has provided protections for critical dune areas in the region for the past 20 years.

State relaxes dune protections; Emmet County forced to follow

Lakes hit record lowThe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Detroit District through its Great Lakes Hydraulics and Hydrology Of-fice reported this week a preliminary new record low water level for Lake Michigan-Huron for the second month in a row.

The new record low of 175.57 meters or 576.02 feet is not only the lowest January monthly average water level ever recorded, but also the lowest monthly average ever recorded for any month over the official period of record for Great Lakes water levels, which extends back to 1918.

intercom where he got it and he said he was an employee of ours. I looked at him, looked back at the teller and just shook my head ‘no.’”

As it turned out, Harbor Springs Police Chief Dan Branson happened to be driv-ing by the bank on patrol, (he wasn’t aware of the situation as of yet), which “spooked” the driver, according to Jones, causing him (and the additional two passengers) to quickly drive off. Jones followed him long enough to get a plate number, and then went back to the bank to call 911. Harbor Springs police officer Josh Johnson arrived to question the teller and then went back to Copy Plus to question Jones further.

“While Josh was question-ing me, the phone rang, and it was First Community Bank in Petoskey,” Jones said. “They explained to me that there was a woman trying to cash another check for $1,800. At this point, I handed the phone over to Josh and he told her not to cash it, to call 911 and to stall her as long as possible.”

Petoskey police officers quickly surrounded the bank and arrested the three people,

all from Genesee County. Additionally, Jones discov-

ered that the three individuals had been successful in cash-ing a check for $1,800 at a Grand Rapids bank earlier. He has since been reimbursed by the bank. In total, the in-dividuals attempted to steal $6,000.

“I was shocked and very mad,” Jones said. “I’m still not sure how they gained access to my account. I think they must have taken a blank check and copied the information and account and routing numbers off it. It’s very scary.”

Police Chief Dan Branson noted check fraud is not a common occurrence here. Most criminal activity in-volving checks in this area is connected with individual accounts, like trying to cash checks with insufficient funds, Branson said.

“There are some standard answers about how people can better protect themselves against crimes like this,” Branson said. “Don’t give out information to people you don’t know on the internet and be sure to shred confi-dential information before throwing it away or recycling

it. These are a couple things you can do, but this is not the type of crime you can protect yourself from 100-percent.”

Branson noted that a big part of arresting the three individuals and preventing the two checks from being cashed was the vigilance of the bank tellers.

“They could have assumed it was a legitimate check, and maybe in a larger city where they didn’t know Harold, they might have cashed it,” Branson said. “They asked the right questions, which prevented the bank and Har-old from taking a loss and also led to these people being arrested.”

Jones agreed, and said he is grateful to the bank and also the police officers involved in this case.

“The tellers at First Com-munity Bank did a super job, and all of their customers should feel good, because they are being watched out for,” he said. “Josh with the Harbor Springs Police De-partment did a great job, too. It’s nice to be in a small town where people know you and back you up when you need it.”

Local bank, business owner, police combine to thwart scam here last week-CONTINUED from page 1.To the Editor:

With my apologies for being so late in catching up on my reading, I have just finished the article in the December 26, 2012 issue about the pre-ceding Planning Commission meeting. From the descrip-tion in the article it sounds as if the Commission is con-sidering updating the Master Plan by noting that over the past few years the census population has significantly diminished and we should recognize that we have be-come even more of seasonal resort community. “Tweak-ing” of the plan would then occur to reflect this reality.

This type of “planning in arrears”, it seems to me, is really not planning at all. My understanding is that the

Master Plan is meant to reflect the desires of the community and is supposed to act as a blueprint and guide for the activities and regulations of the city, in order to achieve the community goals. If, in retrospect,

we find that the goals have not changed, but that the poli-cies and procedures are not producing the community we aspire to, it is those policies, procedures and other activi-ties that need to be “tweaked”.

The other message I got from the article is that there still exists the conviction that we are not in control of our destiny, that we will be the type of community that forces beyond our control dictate. If so, why then do we embody a planning commission and

hire planning consultants? I reject this concept. We have become the community that we are today as a result of the zoning code, our other ordinances and all the past activities of our officials and of our community residents. If we are happy with the status quo that’s fine, but if we wish to change, it is in our power to do so. If we wish to become even more of a seasonal re-sort, I suggest that we shut down the city during the off season to save money. If what we want is truly a more per-manent community there are plenty of people around with the smarts to make it happen!

Cheers,Mark Rondel

Eric Wilde shared the fol-lowing story, “Our Freshman year (and maybe every year) the rule was to keep your hair ‘off the ears and off the collar’. One week Gary Bob (Morse,) (Dick) Reeves and (Lane Be-atty) Beatle waited a bit too long to make the trip to see Chainsaw (local barber Stan Huffman.) Despite the fact they were three of our best players, Flynner sat them (I can’t remember if it was just the half or the whole game). Needless to say, haircuts were not a problem the rest of the year.”

It didn’t end with being a coach for Joe, though. He was a friend, a mentor, and in some cases, as was stated by Fred Waybrant, even more. Fred comments that “Joe was the right arm of Charlie, there is no doubt. They are legends in the world of MHSAA. I respected both of them like they were my fathers, and father-figures they were. My life is in a good place because of Joe and Charlie.”

I heard a wonderful story from former player Dan Reed. Dan’s family moved to Texas his sophomore year but, of course, he would rather have been in Harbor Springs (that was me editorializing, by the way). Then, in Dan’s words, “Coach actually called us one balmy night in late sum-mer of 1983 to tell us he was taking over varsity as Charlie Paige was retiring. Within a few weeks we were back in a U-Haul headed north.” That personal touch means the world and is so rare.

I have to share one more quote from Dave Rhine be-cause it was such a Joe Flynn kind of comment. Dave says that often after running “gut-busters” in practice, Joe would look around and ask if anyone

had a dime. When asked why, he’d laugh and say “to call Gil-lian’s (funeral home) because someone’s dying over here.” It was his humor and his spirit that made his teams willing to line up on the end again and again for him.

The induction of Ed Kelbel, Jr. must be a bittersweet one for his family. They now have two members of their family in the Hall of Fame, but sadly, both of them have left us, as Eddie passed away unexpect-edly in March of last year, two months after his father.

Eddie’s highest achieve-ments athletically were on the golf course. He won state level awards in high school, went on to play golf for Michigan State and as a PGA profes-sional, and he wound up as the PGA Golf Management Director at the University of

Colorado at Colorado Springs. According to his close friend and teammate, Eric Wilde, “…He was part of bringing the golf team back to the school and led the dominating per-formances they had in 1974, 1975 and 1976…Forming the golf team with Steve White and Bob Wilson was one of Ed’s proudest accomplish-ments. His achievements on the golf course spoke for themselves, but he really loved the fact that he brought golf back to HSHS and that it led to a long successful run for the team.”

Golf, at least on the high school level, is not generally a spectator sport, so despite his incredible success on the links, many more of us re-member his excellence on the basketball court. Eddie was an integral part of the Rams’

team that made it all the way to the state finals in 1976; his shot was poetry. If there had been a three point line in the seventies, the point scoring records would be markedly different today, I guarantee that.

I think it is worth mention-ing that Eddie was nominated for this award not by a single person, but by all of his team-mates. Dick Reeves noted that “he definitely had a gift, an inner light if you will, a spark of some kind, that brought out the best in all of us including himself.”

Ed was all about team and I could not express that bet-ter than Eric Wilde did on the nomination form. “…But he was also one of the best teammates anyone ever had. He was never worried about his time or stats (although he

knew them all), he wanted to win and he wanted everyone to enjoy the experience. He was always encouraging to all the people on the ‘B’ and ‘C’ crews.

“He wanted us to get better and feel good about ourselves. He pushed us whenever he could, but always with an eye on making us better. He was part of what made us teams and not just a collection of good athletes. He was a leader on and off the court. He was what I would want every HSHS athlete to aspire to be. The attributes he displayed as an athlete were there until the day he died (and in many ways still afterwards).”

Eddie was one of the hardest working athletes that I can re-member. He didn’t have that natural jock build like some, but he excelled at every sport, due in no small measure to his natural competitive spirit and constant work ethic and his joy in the games. He loved to compete; his eyes radiated determination and concen-tration.

Outside of the sporting

arenas, Eddie was, simply put, a good guy. Always cheer-ful, always smiling, he was a “jock” without any negative connotations; he was never too good to stop and talk to anyone. Working with him was a joy in itself; he routinely greeted you with a smile and a joke or a pun was never far behind. Often times his jokes were groan worthy, but his constantly up attitude made his worst jokes funny. You couldn’t help but be in a good mood around Eddie.

These nominations are so well deserved, not just for their athletic achievements but because both men are men you want today’s youth to emulate; hard working men, caring men with a love for their lives and those around them. Congratulations to both men and their families.

Boyne Highlands’ Brad Keen elected chairman of the Michigan Restaurant Association Board Brad Keen was elected Chair-man of the Board of Directors of the Michigan Restaurant Association (MRA) at its win-ter board meeting on January 28. Keen is Senior Vice Presi-dent of Food and Beverage for all of Boyne Resorts’ eastern operations and President/General Manager of Boyne Highlands Resort in Harbor Springs. Keen has been a part of the Boyne organization for 25 years. He started at Boyne Highlands as an extern from the Culinary Institute of America and returned as a line chef after graduation.

Other officers elected to the MRA Board of Directors include Jim Holton, owner of Mountain Town Station Brewing Co & Steakhouse in Mt. Pleasant, who was elected Vice Chairman, and Ken Miller, owner of Millen-nium Restaurant Group in Kalamazoo, who will serve as Treasurer.

While the last two years have provided the realiza-tion of many long held MRA legislative priorities, there is much on the horizon. From issues such as liquor licensing reform to working through the requirements of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), Keen will be at the helm as the Asso-ciation monitors these issues and educates members of the ramifications.

“Foodservice is a unique, challenging, and rewarding industry, and I am excited to be selected to lead the premier trade association for an industry I love,” said Keen. “The MRA works hard for corner diners, multi-location franchises, industry suppliers, and everyone in between. As Chairman of the Board, I am excited to share in that work on behalf of my foodservice peers.”

Critical dune areas, which make up about 30-percent of Michigan’s dunes, will still be regulated, but not by Em-met County, as the county’s restrictions were more strin-gent than the state’s. Accord-ing to Tammy Doernenburg, Emmet County Planning and Zoning Director, Emmet County’s Zoning Ordinance attempted to comply with the state’s changes, but there were several reasons why they chose to repeal it. Keeping the current dune protections could present a liability to the county, resulting in possible lawsuits. Instead, the State of Michigan will have full control over these areas.

Areas not classified as “criti-cal dunes,” which included the Shoreline Bluff Overlay District along M-119, will still be within the county’s jurisdiction and will not be under state control, Doern-enburg said.

This action took effect Janu-ary 28, 2013.

According to Doernenburg, the original Emmet County Critical Dune Ordinance was created to protect and maintain dunes in the Little Traverse Bay region, and the value they bring to this region. She noted, however, the new

state law will mean less pro-tection for the critical dune features along the Lake Michi-gan shoreline. Locations that could potentially be impacted include areas near Wilderness State Park including Trails End Bay and parts of Sturgeon Bay.

“It is important to have protections like this in place,” Doernenburg said. “It ap-pears that the dune laws have been relaxed by the state, and they do not allow, in this new legislation, for more strict protections at the local level. It seems this legislation was enacted to allow for stream-lined development rather than protecting the environ-ment.”

Jennifer McKay, policy specialist for Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council in Peto-skey, said it is unclear what long-term impact of this law will be on Michigan’s dune areas. She noted, however, that dune destabilization, system fragmentation, and disruption to the natural dune ecology areas, are all likely outcomes resulting from the new law.

“Maintaining dune protec-tion is an investment that is returned in benefits to the individuals who live along the shoreline and within the

dunes, as well as all residents of Michigan and the visitors who come to play along our golden shores,” McKay said. “Unfortunately, the Michi-gan legislature and governor failed to see Michigan’s exten-sive sand dunes are part of our cultural identity, part of our ‘Pure Michigan,’ and chose to risk adverse impacts to Michi-gan’s rare and irreplaceable dune system.”

McKay noted the strong protections of the county’s dune ordinance for the past 20 years have been a benefit for the dune ecosystem here. Though Tip of the Mitt has been opposed the new law, it supports the county in their decision to repeal the ordinance.

“By adopting the dune or-dinance, Emmet County rec-ognized the importance of the unique and sensitive natural environment of the lakeshore dunes and that protection of the dunes would build a strong foundation for tourism and a strong quality of life,” she said. “Unfortunately, the county will no longer have direct control over dune development proposals that impact property values and community character.”

McKay noted protecting the

dune ecosystem is essential to protecting numerous species that live in this environment.

“In addition to the throngs of summer visitors that delight in experiencing the dunes and their associated beaches, Michigan’s dunes are home to unique dune and swale wetland complexes as well as a host of threatened and endangered species,” she said.

Numerous environmental organizations including the Sierra Club, Clean Water Ac-tion and the Michigan Envi-ronmental Council, among others, have opposed the new law. The Michigan De-partment of Environmental Quality is also in opposition. The Michigan Association of Home Builders and Michigan Association of Realtors sup-port the new law.

“It is critical to protect the legacy of the dunes,” McKay stated. “With over 275,000 acres of sand dunes lining the shores of Lake Michigan, Michigan is home to the larg-est freshwater dune system in the world. Some of these ex-traordinary dunes are steadily vanishing as development continues. Once gone, these magnificent natural attrac-tions cannot be recreated.”


State relaxes dune protections; Emmet County forced to follow

of the Great Lakes Lighthouse Keepers Associations over a decade later. Pepper has spent years visiting, photo-graphing and documenting the history of Great Lakes lighthouses and is consid-ered to be one of the utmost authorities on the subject. He will be presenting “Lighting the Straits,” on February 8, as part of the North Central Michigan College’s Luncheon Lecture series.

“What started as a passion photographing lighthouses turned into a job,” Pepper said. “I became a member of the Great Lakes Lighthouse Keepers Association and following that, I joined their board of directors. When they asked me if I wanted to become their executive direc-tor seven years ago, I jumped at the opportunity. Someone said that if you’re doing some-thing you love, you never work a day in your life and that’s very true.”

Pepper’s presentation will give his perspective on light-houses throughout the Great Lakes and will also touch upon the history of these structures, as well.

“The first lighthouse in the state of Michigan, the Fort Gratiot lighthouse, was built in 1825, the same year the Erie Canal was opened, which connected Buffalo with New York City and ultimately opened up the Great Lakes to the east coast, which resulted in a need for lighthouses,” he said.

Lighthouses continued to be built over the the next sev-eral decades and the major-ity of them were constructed from 1860 to 1910. According to Pepper, these lighthouses were constructed so well, many are still in good shape today. Due to its thousands of miles of coastline, Michigan has more lighthouses than any other state.

Something unknown to many is that 98-percent of Michigan lighthouses are still used for navigation pur-poses. The process is entirely automated these days with automatic photo cells used to power the light.

“It surprises many people when I tell them that, because in these days with GPS sys-tems and everything, many think that you don’t need lighthouses,” Pepper said. “Well, I usually tell them just because you have your GPS in the car, you wouldn’t think of driving in the dark with no headlights, would you?”

“Lighting the Straits” will take place at in the library conference room at noon on Friday, February 8 on the Petoskey campus. The cost of the event is $9 and includes lunch. Reservations are pre-ferred. For more information or to make a reservation, call 231-348-6600.

Obituaries

This week there is much conversation regarding com-mercials because of the Super Bowl. There were two that I really enjoyed, both of which made me choke up a little and brought a smile.

First is the much discussed Dodge Ram commercial about farmers. With the inimitable tones of Paul Harvey reading over changing rural images, this was a winner.

Paul Harvey originally made the following speech in 1978:

“And on the eighth day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, ‘I need a caretaker.’ So God made a farmer.

God said, ‘I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, milk cows, work all day in the fields, milk cows again, eat supper and then go to town and stay past midnight at a meeting of the school board.’ So God made a farmer.

‘I need somebody with

arms strong enough to rustle a calf and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild. Somebody to call hogs, tame cantankerous machinery, come home hungry, have to wait lunch until his wife’s done feeding visiting ladies and tell the ladies to be sure and come back real soon -- and mean it.’ So God made a farmer.

God said, ‘I need somebody willing to sit up all night with a newborn colt. And watch it die. Then dry his eyes and say, ‘Maybe next year.’ I need somebody who can shape an ax handle from a persimmon sprout, shoe a horse with

a hunk of car tire, who can make harness out of haywire, feed sacks and shoe scraps. And who, planting time and harvest season, will finish his forty-hour week by Tues-day noon, then, pain’n from ‘tractor back,’ put in another seventy-two hours.’ So God made a farmer.

God had to have somebody willing to ride the ruts at double speed to get the hay in ahead of the rain clouds and yet stop in mid-field and race to help when he sees the first smoke from a neighbor’s place. So God made a farmer.

God said, ‘I need somebody strong enough to clear trees

and heave bails, yet gentle enough to tame lambs and wean pigs and tend the pink-combed pullets, who will stop his mower for an hour to splint the broken leg of a meadow lark. It had to be somebody who’d plow deep and straight and not cut corners. Somebody to seed, weed, feed, breed and rake and disc and plow and plant and tie the fleece and strain the milk and replenish the self-feeder and finish a hard week’s work with a five-mile drive to church.

‘Somebody who’d bale a family together with the soft strong bonds of sharing, who

would laugh and then sigh, and then reply, with smiling eyes, when his son says he wants to spend his life ‘doing what dad does.’ So God made a farmer.”

From the ratings, this really resonated with the audience. I know that the part that made me smile was the section about making do, shaping an axe, shoeing a horse, basically what I call hillbilly engineer-ing. I drive my husband nuts with this kind of thing, but when you grew up on a farm, you learned to be inventive.

The other winner this year was the Budweiser com-mercial with the Clydesdale recognizing the young man who raised him as a colt and making a break for it to see his friend. Definitely a lump in the throat kind of com-mercial and they stick with you. Besides, everyone loves seeing those gorgeous horses running; pure beauty and grace in motion. Over the years, commercials that play on your emotions are the ones that I remember most fondly and the fact that this one had an animal in it didn’t hurt.

Remember the Iams com-mercial with Casey, the Irish Setter, where the dog and girl grow up together? In the be-ginning the puppy struggles to climb the stairs, by the end the girl has to help the old, graying dog up the steps. Never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Neither does Joe Green handing that famous jersey to the little boy with those huge eyes. What a stroke of advertising genius, to show the softy side of “Mean Joe” Green.

Another favorite that obvi-ously sticks in the mind, since it came out in the sixties, was the “Turn Around” commer-cial from Kodak. It showed photos of a daughter from birth through motherhood with the strains of Ed Ames singing over the photos.

The ASPCA commercials with the soundtrack by Sarah McLachlan against animal cruelty are important and sad, but they are almost too difficult to watch. They do

bring out plenty of emotions, however.

Practically every Hallmark commercial ever made would fit in this category. Two that come to mind are the brothers who are reunited at Christmas time and they sing for their family and the elderly lady who walks to the mailbox every day to find nothing, only to have a kindly neighbor notice and send a card. It may be schmaltzy, but it gets me every time.

Finally, the one touching commercial that I always re-member because it reminded me of Steve and Karen White is McDonald’s Little Sister commercial. We see the older brother and younger sister go through the years from her being a pest to them being friends (and she is the homecoming queen.) The common thread through the years is the brother offering his little sister McDonald’s fries. I can’t watch it to this day without welling up a little and even though it came out mid-eighties, I still remember it clearly. That is advertising money well spent.

I was sincerely saddened to see the notice this week that Mr. Ed Mathews had passed away. A nicer man you’d never find and one that will be missed. I can’t tell you the number of nights that I trudged through the snow to a phone to call him and rouse him from bed to come and pull me out of a ditch. I know the Harbor Auto phone number by heart to this day. He was always kind, never got upset with me for it and frequently didn’t even bill me. Condolences go out to his wife and to Eddie and Jim and their families and to Chris’ girls. Very sorry for your loss.

On a much happier note, congratulations going out to Jud and Jenn Silveus who were married on February 2. Best wishes to you both for a long and happy marriage.

Lots of birthdays this week, starting with birthday wishes going to Claire Ranney from her grandma Yas on Febru-ary 7. Also celebrating on

As an unknown writer said, “When work, commitment andpleasure all become one and you reach that deep well wherepassion lives, nothing is impossible”. The volunteers of theWomen’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan, Inc. (WRC)are a shining example of how passion translates intopossibility. The WRC was founded in 1977 by communitymembers who had a dream of building an agency committedto equality, justice and the well-being of women in NorthernMichigan. Their passion bloomed into the formation of theorganization’s multitude of human service programs andlives on 33 years later through the hard work andcommitment of the many volunteers who continue to activelysupport the agency.

During National Volunteer Week, April 18-24, the WRCcelebrates the many accomplishments of our volunteer team.Over 4,800 hours of service were donated to the agency in thepast year through the dedication of our volunteers. Ourvolunteer staff support families at the Safe Home, ring upsales and stock merchandise at the Gold Mine Resale Shops,serve on the Board of Directors, assist with agency mailings,answer the 24-hour crisis phone line, style hair at the SafeHome, do facility upkeep and maintenance, and otherimportant tasks.

Our volunteers touch the lives of hundreds of individualsand families served by the WRC in Antrim, Charlevoix,Cheboygan, Emmet, and Otsego counties. Last year alone, theWRC provided safety and advocacy to 595 victims of domesticabuse in Northern Michigan including 2,727 nights ofhousing provided to 167 women and children at the SafeHome. The support of our volunteers plays a critical role inthe agency’s ability to provide these vital services to those inneed. We salute the passion and possibility that WRCvolunteers bring to our organization and community!

It was (and still is) COLD! Tem-peratures this past week didn’t make it out of the teens and several mornings saw single digit readings. Along with that there has been measurable snowfall just about every day thanks mostly to “lake effect” so it keeps piling up. However, February is here and has brought a couple of sunny days and although it didn’t warm us up much, it sure is great to see! Predictions are for not much warming up in the im-mediate future but there is plenty of snow so stay warm

Harbor Springs...Then and Now

Saturday February 9, at 10:00 am, Fairy Tale Moons co-creator and author Mary Stewart Adams will be sharing Jack and the Beanstalk in the upper level of the Carnegie Building.

Fairy Tale Moons was cre-ated by writer and starry researcher, Mary, with her sister, Pat, an illustrator. Together they have joined the wisdom inherent in the star lore of the ages with the indigenous wisdom of fairy tales to sustain the rich con-nections between earthly and cosmic worlds. Samples of the beautiful illustrations and previous tales can be seen at www.fairytalemoons.com.

These connections have shone forth from the stars overhead throughout all time, with each age finding its own method of unlocking the content and meaning in the presence, positions, movements and gestures of the celestial bodies~from the astrology of the ancients to the astronomy of our modern times. A certain majesty is restored to human life when it is regarded as a story written

by the stars, a story to be read from the great book of life shining overhead everyday and every night throughout life.

This event is free and open to the public. Bring the kids, or the kid in you, and join Crooked Tree Arts Center for their pre-sentation of Fairy Tale Moons Jack and the Beanstalk. Questions, call (231) 347-4337 or visit www.crookedtree.org.

Coach’s comments: Head Coach Jennifer Foley’s said: “We played a very good all around game. Cedarville is a team we had lost to by 30 points earlier in the season so I am very pleased with our improvement. Our post players played very aggres-sive and kept the Cedarville posts off of the glass for most of the night. I’m encouraged by our improvement with the start of our second round of seeing these teams.”

Coach’s Comments: “Grayling is a very physical team. They play a fast tempo and full court press defensively. I didn’t think we executed very well offensively against their press and defensively we had a hard time stopping their point guard in transition. Hopefully we can learn from our off night and get better for our next game away against East Jordan.”

Steals: Zoey Bezilla seven, Sophie six, Mia and Perry three, Claire, Alexa and Karli two, Reagan, Abby, Libby and Mikayla one.

Coach’s comments: Head Coach Tom Brogger said: “ The big story in this game was how well we played in the second half, in particular the third quarter. Down by three at halftime we came out and had our best stretch of basketball so far this season. We had steals, assists, 3-pointers, tough lay-ups, put backs and a very stifling defense. Their only basket of the entire second half came as the buzzer went off to end the third quarter. The players on the floor, the bench as well as the fans were all really “into it. It was a great feeling and fun for our team to have experienced something like this. Sophie was crazy good on both ends with her points and steals. Zoey had the most steals of anybody thus far this season. Perry and Libby were big contributors, as usual. Mikayla continues to play very aggressive and physical in the post. Reagan showed great improvement in her time and none of this happens without excellent play from Claire, Alexa and Mia as well.”

Coach’s Comments: “Once in a while you’ll win a game and just be so thankful because you know that collectively you did not play your best. That’s what happened in this game. ‘Yeah we won. I hope we know we’re better than that.’ We had a number of very good individual performances and when it

came down to crunch time was when the entire team made it happen. We’re very competitive and we have a lot of depth. It was Mikayla’s turn to stand out this night as she loaded up the state sheet in all three categories. Zoey was also huge as she led us in scoring for the first time. Sophie, Alexa, Libby and Karli were very good in our full court press and Claire had a number of big rebounds.”

“This I Believe” is more than a powerful statement. It’s an in-ternational movement based on a 1950s radio program of the same name, hosted by acclaimed journalist Edward R. Murrow. In 2004, This I Believe was founded as an independent, not-for-profit organization that engages youth and adults from all walks of life in writing, sharing, and discussing brief essays about the core values that guide their daily lives.

Now in 2013, This I Believe is coming to our community in the form of a partnership between the Harbor Light Newspaper and the Harbor Springs Library. Accepting submissions on a rolling basis, the up-to 500 word essays will be collected for a website, printed in this newspaper, and read at community gatherings hosted at the library. A continuous celebration of stories from all ages, this project will seek to give voice to a community, in its own words.

To participate, simply put pen to paper (or fingers to key-board) and finish the thought: “this I believe.”

Here’s some additional guidelines, provided by This I Believe (www.thisibelieve.org)

We understand how challenging this is—it requires such in-timacy that no one else can do it for you. To guide you through this process, we offer these suggestions:

Tell a story: Be specific. Take your belief out of the ether and ground it in the events of your life. Consider moments when belief was formed or tested or changed. Think of your own experience, work, and family, and tell of the things you know that no one else does. Your story need not be heart-warming or gut-wrenching—it can even be funny—but it should be real. Make sure your story ties to the essence of your daily life philosophy and the shaping of your beliefs.

Be brief: Your statement should be between 350 and 500 words. That’s about three minutes when read aloud at your natural pace.

Name your belief: If you can’t name it in a sentence or two, your essay might not be about belief. Also, rather than writ-ing a list, consider focusing on one core belief, because three minutes is a very short time.

Be positive: Please avoid preaching or editorializing. Tell us what you do believe, not what you don’t believe. Avoid speak-ing in the editorial “we.” Make your essay about you; speak in the first person.

Be personal: Write in words and phrases that are comfortable for you to speak. We recommend you read your essay aloud to yourself several times, and each time edit it and simplify it until you find the words, tone, and story that truly echo your belief and the way you speak.

In a time when personal statements of belief-- as hard as they can be to describe-- are more important than ever, we’re humbled to offer a chance to be witness to the beliefs of our community. Gather the generations of a family together, task a book club, or simply commit to doing this for yourself-- just find a way to commit to contributing to this vital and wonder-ful community project, and when you do, email your essay to [email protected], or mail it to the Harbor Light Newspaper, 211 E. Third Street, Harbor Springs, MI. 49740.

Editor’s Note: This essay, the fourth in our community This I Believe series, was written by longtime planner and Northern Lower Peninsula Trailways Coordinator Emily Meyerson. A global traveller and forever a student of community building, Meyerson’s belief comes with deep roots and an understanding of how people can work together to create something beautiful. We encourage anyone connected to our community to submit an essay, as we are partnering with the Harbor Springs Library to build a collection of voices that define who we are, together.

I believe in community. I believe that when people join to-gether and focus on common interests, anything is possible. I believe in the power of people. My favorite quote is “Never doubt a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has” – Margaret Mead.

Being a Community Planner in rural northern Michigan, I see community often at its best, making a difference in their world. Most rural governments are run by community mem-bers because they want to make their community better. It is not about power, or money or greed. It is about doing what is best for the local people, for their community. I enjoy watch-ing and helping local government create community because when given an opportunity, they usually (not always!) give it great thought, with shared excitement, and move forward to make their community better.

There have been times that I have come home from a meeting smiling, as I think back at what happened and how I watched local government work for its citizens. I think about the fact that

unanimously a small government, in bad economic times, sup-ported the project I was there about; bettering the community in the long term was put in front of single interests of today.

There have even been times when I did not get support I re-quested at a meeting, but citizens told me outside that I would eventually get that support. The citizens came together at the next meeting, changed local official’s minds and I received a phone call that the resolution and funding was passed. Community works. Another time when the government sup-ported the project but didn’t have the funds I requested, the community came forward with donations after one article in the local paper. Community works.

I love what I do because I help build community through planning and trail development. I get to hear ideas and help create opportunities and provide tools for the idea to come to fruition. Sometimes, I share my own idea, planting a seed, pro-viding encouragement, and waiting, at times years (literally!), to see it grow. Sometimes it grows in a way I never imagined, but it takes shape beautifully, with community support.

I believe with good facilitation, encouragement and pa-tience, that communities can define themselves, plant their own seeds and flourish. These seeds grow and eventually become integrated into community until is an integral part of the local fabric.

I am not a particularly patient person, but when it comes to community development, I have learned the art of patience as I know that no one person can rush a seed along; it takes a community to nurture the seed, water it and let it take root. Not all survive but many do. I believe we can, as a community, make our world better. One seed at time, with great thought and understanding, our community will grow stronger. I be-lieve in community.

Aquatic plants play a huge role in the ecosystem of area lakes and this is the topic that will be discussed at one of Tip of the Mitt’s upcoming Ice Breaker Education Series.

“Aquatic Plants of Northern Michigan, Native and Invasive,” will be presented by Tip of the Mitt Monitoring and Research Coordinator Kevin Cronk on Thursday, February 21 from 12-1 p.m. at the Tip of the Mitt Watershed office in downtown Peto-skey. The presentation will explain the importance of aquatic plants, in that they provide habitat, food, oxygen for fish and macroinvertebrates and also act as a barrier to prevent erosion of lake bottom sediment.

“We’ll mostly be focusing on aquatic plants seen in this area,” Cronk said. “We’ll also be teaching people how to identify invasive plant species, which will help us to have more eyes and ears out on the water checking for those species that aren’t supposed to be there.”

In terms of invasive plant species, Cronk noted it’s important for anyone who believes they spot one to inform Tip of the Mitt about it.

“The key to effective control of the plant is early detection and rapid response,” he explained.

Gretchen Dorian spent much of her childhood sailing and racing sailboats on Lake St. Clair, but it wasn’t until 2007, during the World Champi-onship Regatta when some friends were in need of a pho-tographer, that she became involved in ice boating.

Though she had to hike over two miles out onto the ice with all of her gear and stay there six to eight hours while the event was taking place, she ended up having a good time.

“I did enjoy myself,” she said. “Ice boating is a great way to get outside in the winter and it’s fun to photo-graph.”

Gretchen Dorian will be presenting “Ice Boat Sailing: A Story in Photos”, part of The Outfitter’s monthly speaker series on Tuesday, February 26 at 7:00 p.m. at The Outfit-ter on Main Street in Harbor

Springs.A professional photog-

rapher, Dorian will give insight into the world of ice boating with her dynamic photographs, taken around the world. Participants will also have the chance to learn about various types of ice boats.

Dorian has shot several iceboat competitions, most recently traveling to Siberia to cover the Russian cham-pionship. She said she travels wherever and whenever she can cover iceboat racing or ice sailing. Constantly changing ice conditions make it difficult to determine when it will be safe to sail.

“I didn’t know I’d be going up until three weeks prior,” she said. “A friend of mine asked me to go and I didn’t even get my visa until the day before we left,” she said with a chuckle. “I was the only North American there.”

Dorian’s photographs from the Russian championship

were recognized by the 10th Annual International Photog-raphy Awards competition. Her ice boat series won an honorable mention in the sports category. Her work has been displayed throughout Michigan and around the world. Her photos have been published in SAIL Magazine, ESPN Magazine, and Sail-

ing World Magazine, among others.

The lecture is open to the public and admission charge is to bring a food item for the Harbor Springs Community Food Pantry. For more in-formation about the event, call 231-526-2621. To view Dorian’s photography, to to gretchendorian.com.

A: For the most part the size of your calves depends largely on your inherited genetics. For people who tend to store a lot of body fat in their calves, they will see a decrease in this area as they progress in their workouts and the body utilizes this body fat as a fuel source. Incline training on anything 5-degrees or more will certainly work the calves more, this in turn will lead to a greater number of calories burned and contributing to overall body fat loss.

If you are trying to gain size and strength in your calves then you would be better suited to use resistance training exer-cises, such as seated calf press, or calf presses on the leg press machine. Keep in mind that this no guarantee that you will see substantial gains. Some people simply have the genetics and some don’t, so you have to work hard with what you got.

Email your questions to Glenn at [email protected]

Q: Will using cardio machines on a high incline increase the size of my calves?

She has also won a silver medal in women’s doubles at the national tournament in Arizona.

The workshop is limited to the first 16 players who register. There are four players per court. The cost of the workshop is $10 per person. All equipment will be furnished. Participants should wear suitable gym clothing and clean, dry shoes.

Call 231-439-6370 for information and to reserve your place in class.

There is a new invasive spe-cies that is transported into the Great Lakes every four to six months and there are currently around 200 invasive species in the Great Lakes today, Cronk said.

“An invasive species would be defined as the introduction of a non-native species that causes environmental and economic harm,” Cronk said.

Some common aquatic invasive species in the Great Lakes include Purple Loose-strife, Eurasian Watermilfoil and Phragmites. Cronk noted the threat of another invasive plant, Hydrilla, has the poten-tial to make its way into the

region in the near future. “There’s much concern re-

garding this, as this plant has the potential to out compete with all other plants,” he said. “Initially, scientists thought the Great Lakes were too cold for this species, but recently they found it growing in Sibe-ria, so that’s obviously not the case. So far, it’s been found in Wisconsin and in Indiana, 50 miles from the border of Michigan.”

Invasive species are trans-ported via ships and trailers, often through inland lakes by anglers. According to Cronk, the number of invasive spe-cies have increased in the past

few decades due to increased ship traffic and globaliza-tion. Currently, it is illegal in Michigan to transport a boat or trailer that has any plants on it in order to prevent the spread of invasive plants.

“The thing about invasive plants is that they take over and dominate the other spe-cies in that ecosystem,” Cronk said. “Purple loosestrife, for example, has the ability to completely take over a wet-land, alter the ecosystem and change the landscape to some degree.”

Although there are bio-logical controls (such as fish, bugs, other plants) that

help to reduce the invasive population, Cronk noted it’s important to monitor these controls carefully. Weebles, a native fish, has been used in the Great Lakes to help con-trol the Eurasian Watermilfoil, with some success. Addition-ally, the Purple Loosestrife Beetle has effectively reduced the amount of the invasive plant in some nearby lakes, Cronk said.

Cronk added there is good reason to be concerned about invasive species, because they have a lasting effect on the ecosystem of the lakes. He recommends boaters and fishermen thoroughly clean

their boats before transport-ing them to a new area of wa-ter, and supporting legislation that would provide protection in the Great Lakes against invasive species.

For more information about the upcoming event, or to register, call 231-347-1181 or go to www.watershedcoun-cil.org/event. There is no charge for the event.

The Women’s Resource Cen-ter of Northern Michigan (WRCNM) is inviting area men to join the 100 Men Cam-paign. The agency began the campaign three years ago to help engage men in the move-ment to end violence against women and girls.

Those who support the campaign donate $100 or more to be used to provide awareness, education and prevention programs in our community. In addition, each man will have his name pub-lished in a full-page advertise-ment, taking a public stand to end violence in our com-munity. They are joining with other men in our community in defining manhood as the strength that respects women and children and promotes healthy, equal, non-violent relationships.

“Through this campaign, the Women’s Center is mak-ing strides toward generating the positive change needed to make our community a safer place for all of us,” said WRCNM Executive Direc-tor, Jan Mancinelli. “Men understand this is a national crisis—an epidemic—that affects their own daughters, sisters, mothers, partners and friends and they want to do something to stop this type of violence.”

Nearly one in five women surveyed in a recent National Institute of Justice study said they had been raped or had experienced an attempted rape at some point in their lives, and one in four re-ported having been beaten by an intimate partner. Last year the WRCNM provided 2,701 nights of shelter to 139 survivors of domestic abuse and their children in Antrim, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Em-met and Otsego counties. The agency also provided support, counseling, advo-cacy to an additional 959 domestic abuse and sexual assault survivors; 50 of the sexual assault survivors were under age 12. During the same period, 1,001 individu-als were provided support and information through our 24-hour crisis line.

The 100 Men Campaign enlists the help of men in ending violence that affects women and children. Sup-porters of the campaign may simply donate funds and have their name listed with other donors. Some donors become more involved by attending community events sponsored by the 100 Men Campaign, volunteering with the Violence Prevention Team, serving on the White Ribbon Campaign committee to help raise awareness, or by being a role model to boys and other men.

In the coming year, the 100 Men Campaign will help fund activities such as a free com-munity lecture in March on empowering youth to reach their greatest human po-

tential featuring former NFL player, Joe Ehrmann, named “Most Important Coach in America” by Parade magazine. There will also be a free work-shop featuring Joe Ehrmann for parents, coaches and those who work with youth on how to develop boys and girls into men and women who can then transform culture. There will be continued emphasis on the Coaching Boys into Men program teaching young athletes about respect and non-violence. White Ribbon

Great Lakes levels hit record lowswith the use of water level

data and forecasting models developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory and National Ocean Service. The Corps latest forecasts indicate a strong likelihood for con-tinued record lows on Lake Michigan-Huron over the next several months. Water levels on the remaining Great Lakes are expected to remain below their respective long-term average water levels, but above record lows.

“Not only have water levels on Michigan-Huron broken records the past two months, but they have been very near record lows for the last several months before then. Lake Michigan-Huron’s water levels have also been below average for the past 14 years, which is the longest period of sustained below average levels since 1918 for that lake,” said John Allis, Chief of the Great Lakes Hydraulics and Hydrology Office at the Corps, the office that monitors Great Lakes water levels.

The current record low wa-

ter levels on Lake Michigan-Huron are the result of lower than average snowfall during the winter of 2011-2012, coupled with the very hot and dry summer. Together these conditions led to only a four-inch seasonal rise of Lake Michigan-Huron in 2012, compared to an average rise of 12-inches. Also, evapora-tion was significantly above average during the summer and fall months and contrib-uted to a very rapid seasonal decline.

Above average precipitation and snow cover coupled with

below average evaporation this winter are needed to raise Lake Michigan-Huron water levels above record lows. However, it would take similar conditions over many seasons for levels to rise to near average levels. The Corps will continue to monitor ba-sin conditions and provide updated information on our website athttp://www.lre.usace.army.mil or call our Public Affairs Office at (313) 226-4680.

In conjunction with the nationwide Institute for Re-sponsible Technology and the Tipping Point Network, the local chapter of the statewide non-profit group No GMO 4 Michigan is hosting a Feb-ruary Meet and Greet at the Petoskey District Library.

This meeting is open to the public and will be of particular interest to people who want to

become informed about and discuss the wide range of hu-man health, environmental and economic concerns re-garding genetically modified organisms which are now in the majority of packaged and processed food. For anyone who wants to make better informed choices for their food, this promises to be a highly educational and eye-

opening presentation. Topics on the table include geneti-cally modified organisms in our farms, ecosystems and food supply with strategies for addressing those concerns, such as food production and GMO product labeling.

Julianne Michaels, the local action person for the NW MI Chapter of nogmo4michi-gan.org, said “The group is

Local Non GMO Group to Host Informational Meetingan educational unit. Our first meeting will focus on introductions and furthering community GMO education with an optional viewing of Jeffery Smith’s documentary Genetic Roulette. ”

Lake Effect Loppet

Over 100 skiers braved the white-out conditions at the trailhead off LaCount Road on Sunday morn-ing, Feb. 3, to ski the 20th annual XC Ski Loppet hosted by The Outfitter of Harbor Springs. A big dump of lake effect snow and temperatures in the teens made for supreme conditions and a good ole’ fashioned winter adventure. With frozen hair, iced up clothes and 16 miles of trail behind them, skiers were all the more eager to celebrate at the finish near Cross Village with food and fun at The Crow’s Nest restaurant.

Miette’s Double Chocolate CupcakesI love this recipe, adapted from the charming Miette cookbook, for its deep chocolate flavor and ultra-moist texture. Ice with the beautiful, fluffy meringue icing, or with your favorite icing. Makes about 24 cupcakes.

1½ cups all-purpose flour1¼ cups natural unsweetened cocoa powder1½ teaspoons baking soda½ teaspoon baking powder¾ teaspoon kosher salt2 ounces chocolate, 70% cacao, chopped1 cup boiling water1 cup buttermilk, room tem-perature½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract2 large eggs, room temperature½ cup vegetable oil2¼ cups sugar

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place cupcake liners in muffin tins.

2. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together.

3. Pour boiling water over chocolate in a small heatproof bowl. Cool for 15 minutes, whisking until the chocolate melts.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk and vanilla together.

5. Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the eggs on high speed until light and foamy (about 2 minutes). On low speed, add the oil, then increase speed to thoroughly combine.

6. On low speed, add the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, beat briefly. Add the buttermilk and vanilla mixture, beat briefly. Add the sugar and beat until the batter is smooth (about 2 minutes).

7. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and gently fold in the dry ingredients with a rubber

spatula until combined.

8. Pour the batter in the cupcake liners to ¾ full.

9. Bake for about 45 minutes or until the tops spring back when lightly pressed and toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely.

Italian Meringue IcingThis marshmallow-like icing should be made and eaten the same day. Don’t let the candy thermometer deter you…it’s not complicated to use, and so worth it!

1½ cups (10½ ounces) sugar¼ teaspoon cream of tartar¼ cup water3 large egg whites, room temperature1 teaspoon vanilla extractRed hots or red candy decorations

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the egg whites and vanilla. Beat just until frothy, then stop.

2. In a small heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, cream of tartar, and water and bring to a boil. Continue boiling until the sugar reaches 230 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from the heat immediately and pour into a heatproof bowl or measuring cup.

3. Turn the mixer back on medium high speed, beating the egg whites. Slowly pour the sugar syrup into the whites (aim for between the whisk and the side of the bowl). Beat until the whites are very fluffy and cooled almost completely.

4. Either pipe onto the cupcakes using a piping bag and a plain 2-inch tip (hold the bag and tip straight down on the top of the cupcake, squeeze, then release and lift up). Or, spoon the meringue in dollops onto each cupcake. Top each with a red candy.

Miette’s double chocolate cupcakes (Photos courtesy Maureen Abood)

Miette cookbook

We’ve all heard what they’ve been saying: cup-cakes are done, kaput, over. So yesterday.

Well I believe in yesterday.

I still get excited when yet another new cup-cake shop opens, as they seemed to with regularity when I lived in Chicago and San Francisco before the donuts started taking over again.

Can’t say the same happens Up North. Maybe I should do it, bake cupcakes here and call my shop Little Bay Cakes? Springs Sweets? Iced Up North? Harbor Happiness?

Someone in San Francisco thought up the cutest shop name around and opened the kind of bakery that makes you delirious. Miette, which means “little crumb” in French, grabbed my at-tention from my first visits to San Francisco and never let go. When I spent my first day alone in the city after moving there for culinary school, I headed directly to the Ferry building where I bought a Mi-ette Old-Fashioned cupcake and sat outside by the pier devouring every last crumb.

Eating the cupcake reminded me of the birthday cupcakes my mom made for me everyFebruary as a girl, to share at school. Having a Valentine birthday meant that my cakes were always chocolate, and al-ways swirled with my favorite fluffy pink icing.

It was one of those moments in life that stays with you, that moment on the Ferry pier. Yes,because the cupcake was so good and reminiscent. But, thank goodness, even more so because that was the start,

or in retrospect smack in the middle, of the kind of awaken-ing that changes a life.

I’d headed west to be in a great location and learn to cook in a serious way, and in the pro-cess discovered what author and speaker Brené Brown calls “the power of vulnerabil-ity.” Brown gave an inspiring TED talk by that title, which she presents to businesses large and small (you can find it online, and it will be worth your while).

The gist is that vulnerability is by nature risky territory. It means we see ourselves, and let ourselves be seen, deeply. It means we love with our whole hearts, even though there are no guarantees. It means we don’t catastrophize what has happened or what might happen, but practice gratitude and joy for the here and now instead. We recog-nize that it’s not until we cantruly love and believe in ourselves, no matter what’s happened in our lives, that we’ll be kinder and gentler to ourselves—and in turn,

kinder and gentler to the people around us.

There is a power in this vul-nerability that is…unstop-

pable. This kind of power is what Brown teaches is the remarkable birthplace of creativity, inspiration, and

change. All of which I had aninitial taste of on a pier of the San Francisco Bay. Cupcakes that good will never be passé.

This has to be one of my favorite movies in recent memory. It was an original story; the characters were well written and subsequently well acted. Some times when movies are nominated for many awards, I really don’t care for them. In this case, they got it absolutely right. I’m not going to try and tell you the ending wasn’t predictable, because it certainly was, but the journey was so good that you didn’t care that you already knew the ending.

Pat (Bradley Cooper) has just been released from a mental institution. He wound up there after catching his wife in the shower with another man and beating the other man senseless. I’ll refrain from voicing much com-mentary on that; let’s just say if that was the only criteria, I’m just as crazy as he is. Truth is that Pat’s problems go far beyond that. Once we meet his family, things get even weirder. His father, wonderfully played by Robert DeNiro, has his own plateful of crazy. A die hard Eagles fan, he is no longer allowed in their games because of fighting. Now he sits at home with his countless superstitions, con-vinced that the Eagles’ success depends on his behavior.

Pat goes to dinner at his best friend Ronnie’s (John Ortiz) house and meets Tiffany, Ronnie’s sister-in-law who is driven by at least as many demons as Pat, maybe more. They begin a very strained and strange friendship that is the crux of the movie as they both struggle to trust.

Jennifer Lawrence as Tiffany and Jacki Weaver as Pat’s mom are wonderful, but there really isn’t a weak acting role in the movie. There is outstanding support from Chris Tucker, John Ortiz and especially Anupam Kher as Pat’s unconventional therapist.

Cooper, Lawrence, DeNiro and Weaver are all up for Oscars for their roles and I couldn’t argue with any of them. Cooper especially has some tough competition, but considering the roles that he usually plays, this was by far the greatest variation and show of range.

This movie is rated “R”, there are some sexual situa-tions, nothing graphic, but some of the conversations are more so. There is violence and a lot of profanity, but the themes themselves are adult and would bore most children anyway.

The River Swimmerby Jim Harrison

The River Swimmer is Harrison’s newest, two novellas that will leave you marveling at the skill of this author. How is it that common words can be so thoughtfully arranged that we want to remember them, write them down, quote them to anyone who will listen? This is Har-rison’s art and it is something to see. The writing is clean and crisp, the characters fully alive on the page and in your mind.

The fi rst novella, The Land of Unlikeness, has Clive returning to his boyhood home from New York. He has had a career fi rst as a painter and then as an art professor. He hasn’t painted in years. Like all of us in our 60s he is looking back and examining his life and wondering if there is anything to be gained from looking forward. Like all of us in our 60s, he still feels sharply the milestones of his teen years. The age he feels in his brain doesn’t always match the age he sees in his mirror. “What was the shape of his own personal world? Perhaps time was clay that could be shaped and reshaped.” Clive takes his mother bird watching nearly every day and marvels at the change that comes over her as she describes bird calls and migration patterns. During their drives around the countryside Clive remembers - “Memories reside in the landscape and arise when you revisit an area.” Gradually Clive feels the pull to return again to painting.

The second novella, The River Swimmer, is life from the other end of the spectrum. Thad is the river swimmer and he is seven-teen. The pull of water has been with him always. He remembers that as a child his parents and his friend Tooth devised a harness that would keep him tied to the land while he was drawn to the wa-ter. His whole life ahead of him, he too is examining the possibilities and wonders how this love of the water can be a career, a future for him. Just where does he fi t on this planet called Earth?

Treat yourself to the work of a master, maybe his best work yet!

For as long as many of us can remember, the area at the top of the Main Street hill, corner of Hoyt St, in Harbor Springs has provided many fun-filled winters of ice skating. It was later made into a skate park to be utilized by skateboarders and rollerbladers during the summer months. The Harbor Springs SK8 Park continues to provide a fun and safe outlet for families and individuals to get outdoors and play during the long winter months in northern Michigan.

“I’ve been here 12 years and people keep coming back,” said Harbor Springs Sk8 Park director Gina Marchio. “People who used to come here when they were young are now bringing their own kids here, which is great.”

Free ice skating lessons are given every Saturday morning for beginning and intermedi-ate skaters until February 23, with ice skate rental of only $1. Saturday afternoons are filled with various games that take place for children at the rink with everything from

broomball to hockey games. Hockey equipment is avail-able free of charge.

Ice skating is one of the obvious activities at the Sk8 Park, but there are numerous other events and activities that take place there, as well. Family friendly dinner and movie nights are provided every Friday throughout the winter months. Pizza is avail-able for $3.00 and the cost of the movie is free. Family sledding nights, also free of charge, are hosted by the Harbor Springs SK8 Park at Kiwanis Park and are typically held once a month.

There is no charge to use the skate rink and ice skate rentals are $2, which makes the Harbor Springs Sk8 Park a good way to have some in-expensive winter fun.

“Many winter activities up here can get very expensive quickly, and this is something you can do with your family that is affordable,” Marchio said. “A lot of people are sur-prised at how much we offer at little to no cost.”

“We get a lot of people from downstate who are up on their holiday vacation that

come in and say they wish they had something like this available to them in their own community,” said Rob Jensen, employee of Harbor Springs SK8 Park. “What we offer is a great way to get people outside and interacting with each other.”

A warming hut is available that provides hot chocolate, drinks and snacks to visitors. Board games are to those who need a break from the ice, or for younger children who might not want to skate as long as their siblings.

The Harbor Springs SK8 Park provides activities year round, including an Easter egg hunt at Kiwanis Park and a party for students on the last day of the school year. Last year, they also partnered with the Harbor Springs Library to host a youth film festival with movies created by Harbor Springs elementary, middle and high school students.

“We try to do a little bit of everything here,” Marchio said. “We are not just centered around skating, but are here to be a resource to the com-munity as a whole.”
