Recent extreme cold weather has brought back a cautionary advisory that was in place for much of last winter in this area.

S u n d a y a f t e r n o o n , following a weekend of sub-zero tem-peratures, the City of Harbor Springs issued the following advisory:

“To reduce the risk of freezing of their underground water pipes, customers receiving water from the City of Harbor Springs and West Traverse Township water systems are encouraged to run a thin stream of water from a single indoor faucet until further notice.

Due to the long period of ex-tremely cold weather, some of the underground service lines connect-ing customers to the City’s water pipes are susceptible to freezing as the frost continues to drive deeper into the ground.

To help prevent freezing of un-derground service lines, customers should continuously run a thin stream of water from a single fau-cet. The stream of water should be adjusted to about the thickness of a drinking straw.

Warmer weather may not imme-diately mean that the risk of freezing is over. The City will notify custom-ers when it’s safe to stop the winter water drip.

Customer’s water bills will be adjusted to deduct the cost of the winter water drip.”

For property owners who are gone for the winter, and had their water shut off at the curb, the house drained and winterized, there is no need to worry about getting water running, said Lucas VanderZee, head of the City’s Department of Public Works.

“However, if the water is just shut off inside the house, and there has been activity off and on with people coming home maybe on weekends for example, the water stream should be turned on.”

VanderZee said this could also be done with an outside hose running, as the running water will not freeze in the hose.

“The biggest problem we see when we go to a problem house is that the owners have not had a large enough stream of water running. They will say ‘well it was dripping every few seconds,’” VanderZee related. “I like to say you need to have a drinking fountain size water stream, or a drinking straw size is also a good description.”

A sell-out crowd of more than 160 people came in from the bitter cold Sunday, Feb. 15, to enjoy the Harbor Springs Area Chili Cook-Off. With a record 21 entries (12 professionals and nine amateurs), this year’s judging was very challenging, said Daniel DeWindt, executive director of the Harbor Springs Area Chamber of Commerce.

The Professional Cat-egory had entries from American Spoon of Har-bor Springs, Birchwood Farm Golf & Country Club, Etta’s Kitchen, Harbor Springs IGA, Stafford’s Pier Res-taurant, Stained Cup Coffee Shop, The New York Restaurant, Small Batch, Toski Sands Mar-ket and Wine Shop, Ver-nales, Whitecaps Grille, and Turkey’s Café.

Winning the Profes-sional Category was American Spoon Foods

(Scott Langton) for their Cherry Peach Pumpkin Chili (recipe available online). Second place went to Small Batch (Lauretta Reiss).

In the Amateur Category, the nine entrants also had outstanding chilies. Those entrants included repre-

sentatives from the United Methodist Church, the Har-bor Springs Fire Department, and the Harbor Springs Historical Society & Museum.

T h e H a r b o r Springs Fire De-partment’s repre-sentative Tyler Swiss won in the Amateur Category with his “Fire House Chili” followed up by Mary Cummings, from the History Museum.

Editor’s Note: The following profile of retir-ing executive director Jan Mancinelli was provided by the Women’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan.

Jan Mancinelli, executive director of the Women’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan (WRCNM), recently announced her plans to retire at the end of May. After 36+ years with the organization, she can still vividly recall her job interview with a group of founders and early board members in the fall of 1978. She said they had shared their vision of what the Women’s Center should be and the million dollar question was did she think she could write grants and fundraise to make their vision a reality. In typical Jan Mancinelli style, she said, “Sure, I can do that!”

Mancinelli recalls that it was a time when the issues of domestic violence and sexual assault were barely

noticed in the community or anywhere on the social, cultural stage. Domestic abuse laws had only just passed that same year. The resurgence of the women’s movement in the 60’s and 70’s, the civil rights movement of the 50’s and 60’s, the fight against poverty in the 60’s and the anti-war movement of the 60’s and 70’s were all part of the social con-versation and the presence of these issues on our social and political screen brought new awareness and energy toward peace, justice and equality.

“The status quo was being challenged at every level of our society and the Women’s

Center, started in 1977, was at the ground level with an ideology that embraced all of these present and emerg-ing issues,” said Mancinelli. “The organization plodded forward confronting gender inequality and violence in our homes. There were times in the beginning when I would try to meet with a prosecutor or a police agency

‘Can-do’ attitude helps build 36+ year legacy

Women’s Resource Center executive director announces retirement after more than 36 years On Feb. 12, 2015 the Emmet County

Sheriff’s Office received multiple complaints of fraud. The victims of the scams operate home retail busi-nesses. In each case, the victim was contacted by email several times and received an order for items. The vic-tim then received a check in the mail for payment. The check amount far exceeded the amount owed and the victim was requested to cash the check and send the remainder of the money to a third party. Sheriff Pete Wallin said this scam has been common in the past and reminds citizens to use caution when dealing with this type of transaction.

The victim in this case suspected wrong doing and avoided being scammed by having her bank in-vestigate the validity of the check and reporting the incident to police.

William and Gail West’s Rainbow Inn at 1630 Clarion Avenue, Petoskey, sat on the edge of this famous mid-west summer resort city from the sum-mer of 1950 until March 9, 1965. On that day a devastating fire burned the three story structure to ashes. It would not be rebuilt. All that would remain of this once stately building (and its short history as a northern Michigan gathering place for all races) would be memories. Join Richard Wiles as he shares his research on this historic hotel on Monday, Feb. 23, at 7:00 P.M. in the Carnegie Building, 451 E. Mitchell St. in Petoskey, part of the Friends@the Carnegie Speaker Series.

Richard Wiles is a repeat presenter at the Speaker Series. He is a former high school history and reading instructor who has also taught col-lege level research classes. He is the owner of Michigan North Research in Petoskey.

Wiles has authored white papers for the Petoskey District Library, not only on the Rainbow Inn, but on sev-eral other northern Michigan histori-cal events including SUMMERSET: The Robison Family Murder Tragedy, FIREBALL IN THE SKY: The Remem-brance of the B 52 Crash in Little Traverse Bay, NORWOOD CHERT: The Remembrance of the Woodland Indian National memorial Park and now FINSKE-INNERIKS TERROR-ISTE: The 40th Year Remembrance of the U. P. Bomber.

This program is sponsored by the Petoskey District Library and the Friends of the Library. The event is open to the public and admission is free. For more information, contact the Library at 231-758-3100 or visit www.petoskeylibrary.org.

Harbor Springs lecture on B-52 plane crash

Wiles will also be speaking at the Harbor Springs Library. He will speak on the B-52 plane crash that took place over Little Traverse Bay in 1971 as part of the Harbor Springs Library Winter Lecture Series on March 3, at 7pm.

ObservatiOns

By Charlie MacInnisEmmet County Commissioner, District 3

Emmet County’s new am-bulance service received its first reimbursement check last week, totaling $478, for services rendered in January. We can now declare that the service is officially in busi-

ness. The check came at an opportune time: In its first month, the county’s service burned through 37 percent of the full year’s expected revenues of $624,000 from the ambulance millage. EMS crews incurred $32,000 in un-budgeted overtime. That has to change.

Last week, the cost estimate for the EMS building on M-119 was revised upward to $1.16 million. It was originally envisioned as a simple structure, informally estimated to cost about $450,000. After the designers hastily drew up plans and construction began in frigid December, County Administrator Marty Krupa raised the informal estimate to about $850,000. None of the numbers have been provided in writing, however, and I don’t like that.

It is now abundantly clear that the total capital cost for the new service, including $1.3

million in ambulances and unknown amounts for two more buildings will far exceed the $3 million borrowed to fund it.

The county board has authorized staff to buy property in Mackinaw City for an EMS outpost. It is located on Central Avenue and appears ideal. The price of $180,000 is fair. The sale of other, unneeded county real estate will offset land purchases like this.

The county is also preparing to buy land south of Petoskey on Intertown Road near US-131 for the ambulance service’s main headquarters and training facility but it is highly problematic and neighbors are asking tough questions.

The three acres of land, owned by the in-laws of the county commissioner who headed the months-long search for a site, are part of a larger parcel with a market value for tax pur-poses of $64,000. Intertown Road residents and local real estate experts wonder why the county is offering to buy the three acres for triple that amount: $185,000.

It is a real fixer-upper in a mostly residential area. It will need mountains of fill dirt to bring it up to grade and probably a fire suppression system that can cost as much as $250,000.

More troubling to the neighbors and to

me, state police accident records show that the Intertown Road intersection at US-131 is downright dangerous.

Administrator Marty Krupa has an impor-tant task ahead, looking into these issues as part of his “due diligence.” Unfortunately, they weren’t mentioned when he asked us to authorize a purchase agreement in January. My vote on this was uninformed, to say the least, and I am not happy about that.

The county may begin advertising soon to sell residents on a subscription program along the lines of “Allied Plus.” The ad budget is $20,000. Allied Plus was popular and this offering may be too. The county hopes to bring in $92,000 in subscription sales. However, the budget doesn’t show an offsetting line item for payouts to cover subscriber co-pays and deductibles, so it is hard to determine if this a service or a money-maker.

A proposed $60 premium to insure your family against an ambulance co-pay of maybe $250 is too high, in my opinion. To illustrate, add two zeroes and imagine paying $6,000 a year to insure a $25,000 car.

Allied Plus was part insurance and part charitable contribution. For the county, at this price, it is part insurance and part voluntary

tax. The subscription price should reflect the actual value of the insurance.

While ads and glossy brochures are being created, the fine print has yet to be written that will help residents know whether they should sign up. Many people have called the county offices to find out the particulars. Maybe you should do that too before buying.

Meanwhile, the board approved a payment policy last week that will accommodate fami-lies with a demonstrated financial need. Our county will provide ambulance service to everyone whether they can pay or not.

St. Ignace, several surrounding townships and Mackinac Island had considered joining the Emmet County ambulance service as their contracts with Allied EMS came to an end. Instead, they have decided to sign a two-year contract with Cheboygan County’s well-established, non-profit ambulance service.

Emmet County is offering a good service to the community. But planning continues to be unnecessarily rushed with little or no written documentation that I can find, details are overlooked and important stakeholders are left out. As pencils are finally put to paper and stories are written, people are now adding up the numbers and reality is setting in.

American Life in PoetryBY TED KOOSER, U.S. POET LAUREATE

The Dalai Llama has said that dying is just getting a new set of clothes. Here’s an interesting take on what it may be like for the newly departed, casting off their burdens and moving with enthusiasm into the next world. Kathleen Aguero lives in Mas-sachusetts.

Send Off The dead are having a party without us.They’ve left our worries behind.What a bore we’ve becomewith our resentment and sorrow,like former lovers unitedfor once by our common complaints.Meanwhile the dead, shedding pilled sweaters,annoying habits, have becomeglamorous Western celebritiesgone off to learn meditation.

We trudge home through snowto a burst pipe,broken furnace, lookingup at the sky where we imaginethey journey to wish them bon voyage,waving till the jet on which they travelfirst class is out of sight—only the code of its vapor trail left behind.

Little Traverse Bay were startled by a terrific boom emanating from the mouth of the bay. This loud boom was immediately followed by a flash of light some have characterized as, “the rising

of the sun in the west.” They had all just witnessed the loss of an American “Cold War” warrior plane crash into Little Traverse Bay”. Join Wiles for a discussion on the crash that some called “the rising of the sun in the west”.

“We would also like to especially thank this year’s event sponsors Birchwood Farm Golf & Country Club (www.birchwoodcc.com) of Harbor Springs and Efficiency UNITED.”

In conjunction with the Sunday’s event, the chamber

piloted a program on Saturday at the local ski resorts, dubbed “Harbor Springs…’Check’ us out!” Chamber ambassadors handed out vouchers good for discounts at in-town retailers including gift shops, Between the Covers book store, and restaurants.

“We continue to implement new ways to showcase our town’s businesses and all it

has to offer year round,” said DeWindt. “We have several new restaurants and unique stores, standing alongside the many well known favorites, all of which are open throughout the year.”

Lyda Hayes James was born in Okla-homa City on May 1, 1929 to Kent Birch and Margret Vose Hayes. In 1946, she married her childhood sweetheart, G.W., and together, they created a life filled with laughter, music, a multitude of deep friendships, flowers, shitzous, bulldogs, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Lyda was one of the “Crazy Ladies” and an accomplished tennis player and golfer. She was a master at piecing together complex puzzles and was a very accomplished needle-pointer. Though never formally trained, she had a God given talent for architec-tural and interior design. One of her greatest accomplishments was assisting with the design and construction of the family home they called Outabounds. In her early years Lyda was an active member of the Junior League and the Beaux Arts Ball serving as its chairwoman in 1968.

Though Oklahoma City was home for Lyda, a significant part of her life was spent at the summer home in Harbor Springs, Michigan. She and George were often the last “resorters” to leave following a very active summer regimen, waiting instead for winter to really set in and getting a little peace and quiet.

Lyda was preceded in death by her parents, her husband of 67 years, George W. James and her beloved sister Yvonne Parker. She is survived by her four boys Bill and wife Jamie of Boulder, Colorado and their children Kent, Jessie and Taylor; Gib and wife Jennifer of Oklahoma City and their children Ja-son, Kristen Creamer (Chuck) and Kim Marable (Rob); Jeff of Harbor Springs, and his children Dan and Brooke; and Grant and wife Marcee of Fort Worth, Texas and their children Will (Cassie) and Holt; and seven Great GrandChildren, Nathan, Ethan and Reagan Creamer, George James, Gibson and Stella Marable, Georgia and Hayes James. Lyda is also survived by her sister-in-law, Dannie Bea Hightower, Nephews Johnson Hightower and wife Millie, Michael Hightower and wife Judy, Richard Parker and wife Jan, Stephen Parker, and niece Susan Parker and partner Drew Neville.

The family wishes to express deep and sincere thanks to the caregiver team from Laura Lynn’s Home Care including Kathy, Christy, Natasha and Phyllis. Their compassion and commitment for our mother’s well being these last fourteen months was a blessing and for that we will be forever grateful.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers a donation can be made to the Oklahoma Humane Society, 7500 N. Western Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73116 or The Little Traverse Conservancy 3264 Powell Road, Harbor Springs, MI 49740

Dala Louise Hacker 56 of Harbor Springs passed away February 11, 2015 at Hiland Cottage Hospice in Petoskey.

Dala was born January 14, 1959 in Grand Junction, CO. the daughter of Maurice and Orva Lee (Fawver) Monger. She grew up in Denver where she attended various schools and then graduated from Grand Junction High School. On September 2, 1977 she married Brian Shane Hacker in Palisade, CO.

Dala taught others by example and leaves a legacy of great love, faith and encouragement. She enjoyed sewing, cooking, river fishing and especially being surrounded by loved ones.

Dala is survived by her children Ryan Baldwin (Brad), Elise Page (Tim), Nathaniel Hacker (Sara), grandchildren Zachary, Marissa, Brohnson, Kloee, Paytyn and Lexi, her father Maurice Monger, siblings Rick Monger (Betty), Denise Latta (Chris), Janet Monger-Turner, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and special friends. Dala was preceded in death by her mother and husband who she has joined in heaven.

A Celebration of Life will take place on Sunday Feb.15 at 4:00 PM at Stutsmanville Chapel. Pastor Daniel Vandock will officiate. The family will receive friends beginning at 3:00 PM.

The family wishes to thank family and friends for their love and support as well as the special people who provided exceptional care to Dala. The family suggests that memorial donations be made to the Hiland Cottage in Petoskey, Mi. Online messages of condolence may be made at stonefuner-alhomeinc.com.

This past weekend Saturday Night Live celAebrated their 40 year anniversary. This spring, my classmates and I will be noting a similar occa-sion. Boy, time does fly and it is amazing how far we’ve come and how much we’Ave changed, some for the better, some not so much. Some of the comedy that made us laugh so much, that shocked us and surprised us when first performed on SNL in 1975 would not be allowed today; political correctness censors would never allow it.

Gerald Ford was President and his Vice President was Nelson Rockefeller. I had for-gotten all about Rockefeller, to be honest, but it was a strange period in politics. Nixon’s Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned in disgrace in 1973, Nixon followed him out of the White House the following year, making Ford the first and so far only per-son to serve as Vice President and President without being elected.

Prices in 1975 seem unreal now.Gas for 57-cents/gallon, you could buy a home for $39,300 or a new Mustang for $4,105. Of course, average yearly income was $14,100 with a minimum wage of

$2.10. Since I wasn’t 18, I remember working that sum-mer at the Birchwood Inn, cleaning rooms for $1.25 an hour and that seemed like so much compared to the 85-cents/hour I had received the previous summer from the Stroh’s Ice Cream parlor in Petoskey. I bought a 1971 Mustang convertible that summer for $900; sadly, it wasn’t meant for Northern Michigan winters.

We were listening to Amer-ica sing about “Sister Golden Hair” and our AM radios were blaring out the likes of Elton John, The Doobie Brothers, Helen Reddy and the Eagles. My favorite quote? Mick Jag-ger saying, "I'd rather be dead than sing Satisfaction when I'm 45." He was 33 at the time, which means he will be 73 when touring this summer (and yes, they are touring this summer.) Ah, those things we say when we believe we are young and immortal.

We flocked to the theater, very often the drive-in, to see One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Shampoo, Jaws, Dog Day Afternoon, The Rocky Horror Picture Show and The Other Side of the Mountain.

At home, we settled in to watch Archie Bunker blather and the Waltons wish each other good night. Our favorite cops were Starsky and Hutch (and locally, David Slifka had that wonderful car.) One of

the first mini-series, Rich Man Poor Man, kept us riveted to our television screens eveyr Monday for 7 weeks and we were introduced to John Travolta as Vinnie Barbarino.

Mohammed Ali was thrill-ing us in Manila with his third and final bout against Joe Frazier, the Pittsburgh Steel-eres dropped a Steel curtain on Dallas and John Wooden’s Bruins came back after a one year absence to regain the NCAA Basketball crown they had held for most of the previ-ous decade.

We had mood rings, pet rocks and we played pong at home for the first time and the Six Million Dollar Man action figure was the big Christmas gift And this one will resonate with many of you, Ford introduced their F-150.

As I said, some good changes, some bad. I miss

the cars, the music and the entertainment. I do not miss the fashion or hair styles. And I am happy, as I’m sure many of you are, that there were not cell phones with cameras at that time to record our every move.

Congratulations to Sarah Adelaine and Bill Shepler, the newest inductees to the Harbor Springs Athletic Hall of Fame.Well deserved in both cases. This Friday night, the Ram Boosters are celebrating Hoops for Troops. All sales from t-shirts and the bake sale go to the American Legion for our local vets. T-Shirts are available on Tuesday and Thursday at the games and they are looking for baked goods for Friday night’s bake sale.

Sincere condolences to the family Elizabeth Gasco on her passing. It doesn’t mat-ter how old we get, it is never

easy to lose a parent and our thoughts go to her extended family.

Now let’s get to our Febru-ary birthdays. On Thursday, February 19th, Happy Birth-day to Morgan Rankin, Tami Keller, Thom Blanck (the one who will be 44, not that other guy) and my nephew, Will Morse. Friday, February 20th, let’s hope it is the best day ever for Tim Olson and on Saturday, February 21st, Happy Birthday to Colleen Caron and my niece, Kenda Morse Cleven. Sunday, Feb-ruary 22nd, we send birthday

greetings to John Cupps (again, the younger version), Pam Lauer and Susan Sand-erson. Monday we will start our week with birthday wishes to Chattye Baker, Doreen Brown and Bob Humphrey and on Tuesday, February 24th, Happy Birthday to Bill Owen, Josh Warner, Donna Sterly Nays, Alice Fitol and Ashleigh Harris. Finally, on Wednesday February 25th, we say Happy Birthday to Bran-don Zylstra, Matt Hadix and last but certainly not least, to Hailey Fisher.

Crooked Tree Arts Center is hosting “Write Your Heart Out” with award winning journalist and editor, Ken Winter. Begin-ning February 21st, Winter will be leading participants on a personal writing journey over the course of three Saturdays.

“Write Your Heart Out” focuses on writing from personal life and learning to craft a story in ways that will resonate with others, whether in print or online. And Winter would know about writing. At 14, he started collaborating with reporters and journalists at the Lansing State Journal, his hometown paper at the time. He continued working with the Journal until he graduated from Michigan State University with, not surprisingly, his degree in journalism.

Over the course of his 40 year career, Winter worked with a variety of papers, and he worked his way up north. From 2001- 2007, Winter edited and published Petoskey News-Review. In 2011, Winter was honored with an induction into the Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame.

Registration for “Write Your Heart Out” is currently avail-able at www.crookedtree.org, or by calling the Arts Center at 231.347.4337. Early registration is strongly recommended as many of Crooked tree Arts Center’s classes and workshops fill quickly.

Week’s Low: Sun, Feb 15, -18 degrees

Week’s High Sat, Feb 14, 6 degrees

Trying to determine a high temperature for this past week was tough to do!! Ba-sically take your pick and needless to say it wasn’t high! We still didn’t get much fresh snow but, like most in the eastern half of the country, we are frozen!! Bitter wind chill made it unpleasant to be out for any long period of time although we did have a couple of bright sunny days which made it look like it should be warmer. Predictions for the rest of this week do not look promising for any change with highs of 1 +/- until per-haps a 20 degree with snow on Saturday. Stay warm!

Michael Gorman recently signed a letter of intent to run on the Aquinas College men’s cross country and track & field teams. Gorman captained the Rams to Conference and Regional titles during his senior season. He then would anchor Harbor Springs to an 8th place finish at the State Championships. Gorman’s All-State performance (23rd place - 17:05) also doubled as his personal best. Michael, a four sport-star for the Rams, also competes on the swimming, baseball and track & field teams. Michael states, “I was really drawn to Aquinas College for its strong theology program and the beautiful campus.” Michael is the son Joyce and Dan Gorman (pictured with Michael) and he has three siblings (Zach, Nathan & Paterese.)

The Harbor Springs’ women’s varsity basketball squad fin-ished off the hardest part of this seasons schedule Tues-day with a 51-43 loss at home

to Traverse City St. Francis. “That was our best game of the year.” said head coach Tom Brogger. “We were not disappointed. We practiced and prepared to win the game but if we’re going to put our nose to the grindstone and

work hard and if at the end we think we’ve done a great job and we look up and see the score is in favor of the opponent we’re fine with that. We played well.”

Friday brought perennial rival the Charlevoix Raiders to the Rams home court and as is often the case it proved to be an intense contest.

The Raiders started in a zone defense which had in the past been effective against the Rams. The Harbor offense has been steadily been improving their ability to work around the zone and Charlevoix soon switched to man to man coverage.

Charlevoix’s quick ball han-dling and speed advantage were not enough to allow them to gain an advantage over the course of the first half while the Rams struggled to put points on the board from inside the paint. With neither team able to gain a clear ad-vantage the half would end with the score tied at 13 all.

The Rams managed to hit only three shots from the floor in the first sixteen minutes of play for a total of six points with the balance of their first half score coming from the free throw line. That would not be the case in the third period as the Rams lit up the scoreboard led by the efforts of Perry Bowers who racked 7 points, including Harbors only three pointer of the night, in the first four and a half minutes of the half. Shallon Grawey, Harmony Lang and Haley Rushing all contrib-uted baskets from the floor

Rams fight through toughest part of season

in what would be a 21 point third quarter that opened up a lead that would be to much for the Raiders to overcome as the Rams would go on to claim the 43-30 win.

The Rams finished the evening with a fourth period that included their final 3 free throw points. Harbor went 10-12 from the free throw line on the night.

“I think our girls really wanted this one bad.” said coach Brogger. In the second half “we hit the shots that we weren’t hitting in the first half.” “The other thing was that we didn’t turn it over.”

A review of the score book showed that the Rams did a great job protecting the ball giving up only 13 turnovers in the game. “You can live with 13, anything less than 15 is great.”

Harbor scorers in the Tra-verse City contest were led by Harmony Lang with 13, Alexa Jensen-Philbrick 9, Shallon Grawey 8, Perry Bower 6, Mi-kayla Dickinson 5, and Haley Rushing 2. Against Charlevoix the Rams were again led by Harmony Lang with 14, Perry Bower 10, Haley Rushing 6, Shallon Grawey and Zoie Bezilla with 4 apiece, Libby

Sylvain 3, and Alexa Jensen-Philbrick with 2.

JV matches varsityThe JV team matched

their varsity counterparts results for the week with a 34-35 loss to Traverse City St. Francis and a 41-26 win over Charlevoix on the road. The Charlevoix contest could only be described as physical with a number players from both sides leaving the floor throughout the game with minor injuries that included just about everything from the knee up.

Harbor jv scorers against Traverse City included Libby Garver with 12, Caylin Bon-ser 11, Martha Johnston and Olivia Huhn Tarvudd with 5 each and Casey Savard with 1. Against Charlevoix the jv Rams were led by Caylin Bonser with 16, Libby Garver with 15, Olivia Huhn-Tarvudd 5, Casey Savard 3 and Martha Johnston with 2.

Spreading it onToo Thick?

Over application of fertilizers is a significant source of pollution to water.Use the proper amount of fertilizer to keep your lawn green and

prevent algae blooms in our lakes and streams.

It’s a waste of money to apply fertilizer to your lawn it if doesn’t need it. Theonly way to know how much fertilizer your lawn needs is to have your soiltested. Contact your local MSU Extension Office for an inexpensive soil testthat will help you determine which, if any, nutrients your soil needs.

Avoid overwatering your lawn, too. Consider using a soaker hose instead of a sprinkler. Be sure irrigation systems are watering the grass and not thedriveway or sidewalk. Excess water flows off your lawn picking up debris, chemicals,dirt, and other pollutants and carries them to nearby lakes and streams.

Maintain a greenbelt buffer of mixed vegetation along shorelines reduces theamount of sediment, fertilizers, and other pollutants from washing into waterways.

We started slowly tonight in regards to our defensive toughness and rebounding. They really hurt us in the paint all night. I thought we played a much better second half however and was glad to see a few of our players really step up. That was the best Joe has played in a while and it was great to see his confidence up throughout the game. Hope-fully we can build on that second half as we move into the end of the year.

all night, we just weren’t able to put the shots in. We did a better job finishing in the second half, but we just can’t seem to be consistent enough to get over the hump in our league. It is a year of growth and I think we are finally start-ing to show some, which is very encouraging at the end of the season and looking into next year.

to discuss a domestic abuse or sexual assault case and no one would return my calls.”

So much has changed since then, according to Mancinelli, who said the organization now partners with all law enforce-ment, works with them on cases and works with them on de-veloping and implementing training, policies and procedures. “Today, we collaborate and work together to address these issues instead of being adversaries,” Mancinelli emphasized.

In response to community need, the non-profit organiza-tion grew and expanded service delivery to locations in five northern Michigan counties over the years, yet there were many challenges along the way.

“The biggest challenge as I look back has been to stay fo-cused, relevant and positive – not to get cynical and angry at the injustices, inequality and the slow pace of social change. Knowing and seeing the horrors of what people face when they are abused, hurt, disenfranchised and discounted is sometimes a dreadful reality of this work,” said Mancinelli. She also pointed out that managing the WRCNM’s growth while facing financial challenges to build and sustain an organiza-tion responding to so many community and social needs was also a great challenge.

Mancinelli stayed committed to the WRCNM’s vision to pro-vide excellent services and effective programs while remaining fiscally responsible. From humble beginnings working from a donated office space at North Central Michigan College, the WRCNM has grown to own four buildings that have all under-gone extensive remodeling and renovation: the Safe Home;

two Gold Mine Resale Shops that help generate funds for the organization; and the main office that houses counseling, the Children’s Learning Center, Project FREE preschool and ad-ministration. Additionally, individuals may access counseling and support at rented satellite offices in Cheboygan, Gaylord and Mancelona, and on the campus of North Central.

Another important aspect of Jan’s work has been to promote equality, justice and the well-being of women. This involved reaching out into the community. There were countless hours meeting with local leaders, other human service agencies, law enforcement officials, churches and social/civic organizations to speak out and be a voice to raise awareness and combat social injustice.

“I am sure I was not always the person others wanted to see or hear from,” Mancinelli said. “I knew that if I were to stay true to the mission and work of the organization it was my respon-sibility to speak up to challenge injustice even when I knew that I would stand alone and/or be isolated from those who did not agree or were content to have the status quo remain.”

However, the journey has not entirely been a lonely one. She fondly recalls and acknowledges the many strong, passionate and committed staff and board members, volunteers and donors with whom she has had the honor to work.

“It was, and is, a privilege to know that I stood side by side with people who believed in what we are doing – together we did some remarkable things and proceeded to give hope and provide the tools that helped people have a happier and healthier life,” Mancinelli noted. “I am forever grateful that people participated in growing this wonderful organization and because of that we had an impact on social issues, in general, and provided a needed service for many.”

“I am just happy to know that what turned out to be my life’s work is successful, that I was able to follow my passions and beliefs and work toward equality, social justice and non violence,” Mancinelli added.

At the Women’s Resource Center of Northern Michi-gan (WRCNM) January board meeting, it was af-firmed that Gail Kloss will take on the role of executive director after Jan Mancinelli retires from the non-profit organization at the end of May. Kloss has been with the agency for five years and has served as the financial director.

“There has been a very conscientious process to assure a smooth and suc-

cessful transition,” said Mancinelli. In the fall of 2013, a solid plan was devised by the WRCNM Board of Directors and Mancinelli which included the creation of a succes-sion planning committee.

An extensive search was initiated to hire a chief operating officer (COO), with the intention of naming this person executive director if they met the expectations in provid-ing leadership and demonstrating the skill sets required to run a community based nonprofit.

In January 2014, Kloss was hired as the COO. For the past year she has been working alongside Mancinelli learning the complexities of the job and the operational aspects of the WRCNM.

“We all look forward to the outstanding leadership Gail is sure to provide,” noted Mancinelli. “I am confident that the integrity, responsiveness and professionalism the community has come to expect from the WRCNM will not miss a beat.”

The Crooked Tree Art Cen-ter opened the 2015 Juried Photography Exhibition and recently announced award winners for excellence in photography. The juror for this year’s exhibition was Cyn-thia Greig from Bloomfield, Michigan.

In her juror’s statement Grieg explained: “As an art-ist whose background spans photography, printmaking, art history, filmmaking and collecting, I’m drawn to work that makes me stop and look, that transforms the world as I know it into something unfamiliar and new, or in-vents another, and in doing so, shifts or transforms my point of view, and ultimately my consciousness. In mak-ing my selections I opted for photographs that continued to hold my attention after repeated viewings…”

The first place award spon-sored by Stephen B. Selden, CLU, ChFC, Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management Advisor went to John Porter from Presque Isle for his work Road Kill, the second place award sponsored by Ollar Consulting, Ltd. went to Stephanie N. Baker from Harbor Springs for her work Galwar Bagh, and the third place award sponsored by Dennis, Gartland & Niergarth went Christopher Schneider from Hamtramck for his work Jimmy and the Wall.

Honorable mentions were awarded to Dianne Carroll Burdick from Grand Rapids, Kathleen Carpenter from Elk Rapids, Julie Christian-sen from Charlevoix, Robert deJonge from Petoskey and Nancy Payne from Petoskey.

The 2015 Juried Photog-raphy Exhibition will be on display in the Edith Gilbert Gallery through April 4. The Crooked Tree Arts Center is located downtown Petoskey at 461 E. Mitchell Street. The 2015 Visual Arts Series is sup-ported in part by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and Edward Jones In-vestments of Petoskey and Harbor.

“We look forward to the opportunity to review the applications of this year’s mo-tivated and accomplished in-dividuals for the 2015 awards. The scholarship committee felt privileged last year to choose from a very talented

pool of college-bound arts students” said Paula Welmers, former CTAC Board member and Chair of the Selection Committee.

Crooked Tree Arts Center focuses on youth arts edu-cation through the Dorothy Gerber Music Education Program, Crooked Tree Youth Orchestra and Jazz Band, School of Ballet, An-nual Youth Arts Show, Annual Young Writers Expo, Docent School Tours, 21st Century Community Learning Grant and a wide variety of classes and workshops throughout the year. Thousands of area students are engaged in the arts through their experiences

The deadline for consider-ation is March 31, 2015. Ap-plications are available in area high school guidance offices or online at www.crookedtree.org.

Kingsman: The Secret Service I understand that this is based on a comic book, but not one that I have ever heard of and it is a strange film. It’s not really a complete satire of the “cool spy” genre, like Casino Royale or even Austin Powers, but it isn’t played straight like a James Bond movie. It wanders in-between, back and forth from serious to action to funny. It made for a very original movie.

This movie has an amazing cast. Colin Firth as Harry Hart a.k.a. Galahad, Michael Caine as Arthur and Samuel L. Jackson as the evil Valentine are all wonderful.

The movie is about a spy agency headed by Arthur (all members are named after members of the Round Table.) Harry Hart is the James Bond of the group, suave, debonair and deadly. Taron Egerton holds his own against these heavyweight talents as the bumbling youth, Eggsy.

A young street kid, Eggsy, for the most part a real loser, is sought by a group of agents to join their secret agency as a payback because Eggsy’s father died in his service for the Kingsman. Transforming this kid to a smooth secret agent is difficult especially when there is a nutty billionaire trying for world dominance, but if anyone can pull it off, it is these guys.

It isn’t easy to toy with several genres simultaneously, but they pulled it off quite well. One note, this is a very violent movie, Quentin Tarantino level violence. It isn’t for the faint of heart.

There is a lot of profanity, one nude shot that is pretty graphic and the aforementioned violence, this is rated R for a good reason.
