September Rising

The first day of September brought a warm, glowing sunrise over Little Traverse Bay. It offered a perfect morning for the Labor Day 5k run/walk to benefit the Harbor Springs Food Pantry and hosted by The Outfitter. More photos from the Labor Weekend inside this week.

At home here, a total of 26 percent of households in Charlevoix and Emmet Counties fall into what United Way calls the ALICE population. These are house-holds earning more than the official U.S. poverty level, but less than the basic cost of living. This number is more than double the official poverty rate, which accounts for 11-13 percent of households in the state.

A new study released this week by Char-Em United Way highlights something that is hard to grasp if one walks the docks in Harbor Springs, or drives along the shoreline. The huge boats and beautiful resort homes are but one side of this community.

The new report is a state-wide study of a demographic segment of the population given the acronym ALICE - Asset Limited, Income Con-strained, Employed.

There are 1.54 million households in the state unable to afford the state’s cost of living, with conditions still lagging behind pre-recession levels, according to the United Way ALICE Report.

The report places a spotlight on a large population of hardworking res-idents who work at low-paying jobs, have little or no savings, and are one emergency from falling into poverty. The report is a comprehensive de-piction of financial need in the state, using the latest data from a variety of sources, including the U.S. Census. The report unveils new measures, based on present-day income levels and expenses that quantify who in Michigan’s workforce is struggling financially, and why.

At home here, a total of 26 percent of households in Charlevoix and Em-met Counties fall into what United Way calls the ALICE population. These are households earning more than the official U.S. poverty level, but less than the basic cost of living. This number is more than double the official poverty rate, which accounts

for 11-13 percent of households in the state.

Combined, ALICE and poverty households, account for 38 percent of households in both Charlevoix and Emmet Counties.

“For those households who are living the ALICE experience I think (these results) are all too well known,” said Char-Em United Way executive director, Lorraine Manary. “The organizations like our schools and businesses who work with the general public or hire for our local service economy will also not be surprised by these findings. I believe that the majority of those who are living above the ALICE Threshold will be surprised to find this num-ber so high. To have 38 percent of the households in our community barely able to cover basic household

expenses is shocking.”In an effort to help people better

understand the report’s findings-- and what they mean for families in the area-- Char-Em United Way is hosting two “Community Conversa-tions.” All community members are welcomed and encouraged to attend one of these events, which are being held at the Charlevoix Public Library on September 19 from 3- 4 p.m. and in Petoskey at North Central Michigan College’s Edward Fenlon Lecture Hall on September 21 from 3:45 – 4:45 p.m.

“We all know ALICE,” said local United Way Executive Director Lor-raine Manary. “ALICE is the recent college graduate unable to afford to live on his or her own, the young family strapped by child care costs and the mid-career professional now underemployed. These folks are vital to our state’s future economic well-being, and they face barriers beyond their control frustrating their ability to become financially stable.”

United Ways in six states commis-sioned Rutgers University-Newark, School of Public Affairs and Admin-istration, under the leadership of Dean Marc Holzer, to conduct the ALICE research. The reports build on a United Way study first developed in New Jersey. United Way ALICE Reports provide county-by-county and town-level data, and analysis of how many households are strug-gling, including the obstacles ALICE households face on the road to financial independence.

Harbor Springs waterfront with a train leaving the depot.

I know it’s September, but I’m hoping we can back up a week. I need to give closure to

August, my favorite month of the year in northern Michigan. A month I only

experienced here for six short days. Many folks see August as the harbinger of

fall. Me? I see it as the start of a true Up North summer haven. Town starts to quiet, just a little bit. Sched-ules aren’t packed with a million different (al-most always fun) events-- with an actual job added on-- each day. The lake is warm, the days still long enough to swim and drift and sit by the shore well past the kids’ bedtimes.

August marks a shift those of us who stay here know well. It’s like summer’s deepest breath. It’s like a good book. The kind you can read in a weekend, in a hammock, sipping sun tea and watching the world drift.

And I crave that time. More specifically, I crave that time here, in Emmet County.

So it was a strange mix of horror and excite-ment for me to look at my calendar for 2014 and realize I’d be gone three weeks (three whole weeks!) in August this year. Granted, my time away would be spent in on a writing retreat New Mexico and on an annual family trip (that normally only steals a week of north-ern Michigan August) to the North Channel, which happens to be my second favorite place on Earth. It’s total privilege and frankly, pretty obnoxious that I even can complain about such “problems.” Still. The thought of all the Sturgeon Bay evenings I’d miss, the lack of sunsets I’d see, the lazy drives up M-119 we wouldn’t be taking...It left me aching inside.

Then something strange happened. August 1 hit and as I packed for my Santa Fe week, I started realizing how much I wanted to go away, away, away. And I did. I hiked and learned and wrote and wandered the open air markets of Santa Fe. I canoed and explored and swam and got swept up in the joy of having my family all together, without distraction, for two weeks in the North Channel.

But.I couldn’t stop thinking of home. I couldn’t

stop thinking about the word “community” and how overused it is in today’s society. How much it still applies to Harbor Springs and our surrounding area today.

We’ve had more than our fair share of trag-edy lately. There’s never an upside to it, never a silver lining to the sort of losses and struggles people we know and care for here have faced. There is, however, an invisible net of love and support that is created time and time again, within seconds or minutes of word getting around town. It’s humbling to watch from the sidelines. The swell of togetherness. The “us” we become in these moments when it matters most. This place cares for its own. This place is woven with the fabric of our stories, our his-

tories, our shared love of water and woods and most of all, the people who connect to all of these things.

As it goes with life, we also have had our share of joys. Babies being born. Weddings and birthdays and anniversa-ries. Time hon-

ored traditions-- from celebrating 80 years of NM sailing to a quill box workshop at Three Pines-- were celebrated.

People keep volunteering for organizations and events they believe in, and folks like the Outfitter crew keep hosting events like the Labor Day 5k, which raised $800 for the Har-bor Springs Area Food Pantry. People keep showing up to support our local farmers and their market. On a personal note, I’ve had an outpouring of excited support for my debut novel, which releases September 8.

In short, community here exists in the best of times, the worst of times-- and perhaps most importantly, the times in-between.

When I came home and quickly said good-bye to August, the month of reconnecting with friends and lots of beach nights and lake swims and laid back fun, I held on to all the other thoughts I had about the month, the place, the people I’d missed.

So I’ve decided something, and I’m asking readers to join along with me. I’m going to hold on to what makes August golden, and carry that gratitude and love right through September. I’m going to take the time to be connected. Take the time to get outside. Take the time to slow down and be thankful. Be-cause it matters.

Because I’m lucky enough to live where I do. And whether you are still here or gone until next summer, you’re lucky too. We all have this placed etched deep in our hearts and bones. We are part of something most people never get to experience any more. We are an “us.”

Holding on to August

August marks a shift those of us who stay here know well. It’s like sum-mer’s deepest breath. It’s like a good book. The kind you can read in a weekend, in a hammock, sipping sun tea and watching the world drift.

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

Stories read to us as children can stay with us all our lives. Robert McCloskey’s Lentil was especially influential for me, and other books have helped to shape you. Here’s Matt Mason, who lives in Omaha, with a book that many of you will remember.

The Story of Ferdinand the Bull

Dad would come home after too long at workand I’d sit on his lap to hearthe story of Ferdinand the Bull; every night,me handing him the red book until I knewevery word, couldn’t read,just recite along with drawingsof a gentle bull, frustrated matadors,the all-important bee, and flowers—flowers in meadows and flowersthrown by the Spanish ladies.Its lesson, really,about not being what you’re born intobut what you’re born to be,even if that meansnot caring about the capes they wave in your faceor the spears they cut into your shoulders.And Dad, wonderful Dad, came homeafter too long at workand read to methe same story every nightuntil I knew every word, couldn’t read, just recite.American Life in Poetry is made possible by The Poetry Foundation (www.poetryfoundation.org), publisher of Poetry magazine.

New United Way study paints grim picture of the number of county residents living on financial edge

Pictured is K-9 Handler Deputy Rob Poumade and the Emmet County Sheriff’s Department’s new K-9 “Ares”. Also pictured from left to right is Boy Scouts Michael Goforth, Nolan Lalonde, and Troop Leader Steve Goforth. Not pictured, but helped with the project were Boy Scouts Anthony and Joseph Lieghio. The Mackinaw City Boy Scout Troop 57 recently completed a Troop project by building a new dog house for Ares, who replaced “Zoom” the original K-9. Zoom was retired earlier this year after 7 years of service. The project was funded by Pellston Fire Chief Randy Bricker Sr. and the Pellston Fire Fighters. The new K-9 was funded by Emmet County Board of Commissioners and funds from the Emmet County Sheriff’s Office Forfeiture Funds. The K-9 will be trained in narcotic detection and tracking. Also supporting the K-9 Unit are Bay Pines Veterinary Clinic, Pellston Animal Clinic, and Gruler’s Farm Supplies Inc.(Courtesy Emmet County Sheriff’s Office)

Helping out K9 Unit

The year 2014 marks the 20th anniversary of the reaffirma-tion of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians as a federally recognized In-dian tribe. On September 21, 1994, President Bill Clinton signed Public Law 103-324, reaffirming LTBB’s federal status. This journey originally started in 1836, as the tribe signed a major treaty with the United States to secure lands, rights and provisions in their ancestral land of Northern Michigan.

For the next 158 years, the LTBB Odawa would fight to have those treaty rights up-held and recognized. LTBB Odawa was the first tribe to have gone through the federal reaffirmation process.

Join Emmet County and the Essence of Emmet collabora-tive for this historical lecture series program exploring this anniversary. A panel of individuals who were part of the reaffirmation for LTBB, historians and Odawa elders will tell why it was so impor-tant for the tribe to pursue its status, the history leading up to 1994 and what North-ern Michigan means for the Odawa.

The event will take place at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2014 at the Emmet County Fairgrounds Community Building in Petoskey, 1129 Charlevoix Ave./U.S. 31. It is free and open to the public and refreshments will be served.

In addition to the program, the Essence of Emmet col-laborative will award its first annual history awards on this evening. After receiving numerous nominees over the last several months, the group will announce recipi-ents who have demonstrated a commitment to preserving, protecting and sharing the history of Emmet County.

“The Essence of Emmet group has been discovering a really vast network of people, organizations and groups in our communities who are doing fascinating, important work preserving the stories from the past,” said Phil Por-ter, Director of Mackinac State Historic Parks and an Essence of Emmet member. “We felt this would be a terrific way to support and encourage these efforts and shine a light on the people doing this really great work.”

The Essence of Emmet group works to promote this region’s rich history. Members of the Essence of Emmet include the Emmet County Historical Commission, Great Lakes Lighthouse Keepers Association, Harbor Springs Area Historical Society, Head-lands International Dark Sky Park, Inland Water Route His-torical Society, Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Little Traverse Historical Soci-ety, Mackinac State Historic Parks, Mackinaw Area His-torical Society and Pellston Historical Society.

To receive a complimen-tary copy of the first of four installments of the Essence of Emmet history magazine, produced by group members, contact Beth Anne Eckerle at (231) 348-1704 or email [email protected]

For more information about the group or the Sept. 24 program, contact Eckerle.

Students and senior groups interested in our history are also encouraged to attend the historical programs.

Next ‘Essence of Emmet’ program on Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians set for Sept. 24

tive data that explains why so many residents are struggling to survive and the challenges they face in attempting to make ends meet,” said the report’s author, Rutgers Uni-versity Assistant Research Professor Stephanie Hoopes Halpin. “Until now, the true picture of need in local com-munities and states has been understated and obscured by misleading averages and outdated poverty statistics.”

The United Way ALICE Re-port reveals:• Nearly two-thirds (63%) of

all jobs in Michigan pay less than $20 an hour and low-income jobs are projected to dominate the state’s economy for the foresee-able future.

• ALICE households exist in all age groups. ALICE exists even in households headed by someone in their prime earning years, 25 to 64 years old. In fact, this age group represents the largest seg-ment of ALICE households, reiterating the fact that most jobs in Michigan do not pay enough to allow families afford the most basic household budget.

• ALICE and poverty-level households are spread across all counties in Michi-gan. All counties in Michi-gan have more than 27 per-cent of households living below the ALICE Threshold. In addition, most towns or townships (73 percent) have more than 30 percent of households living below the ALICE Threshold. In Emmet County 15 of the 18 towns/townships and in Charlevoix county 11 of the 17 towns/townships have

more than 30 percent of households are living below the ALICE Threshold.

• The average income needed in order to survive in Char-levoix & Emmet County de-pends on local conditions and ranges from $50,000 to $53,500 annually for a family of four, an hourly rate of between $25.00 and 26.80 in combined income, and more than double the official U.S. poverty rate.

• Despite the combination of ALICE’s wages and some public assistance, ALICE households still face an average 18 percent income gap in order to reach finan-cial stability. The ALICE demographic of-

ten is forced to make choices that compromise health and safety in order to make ends meet, Manary said, putting both ALICE and the wider community at risk of long-term societal and economic repercussions.

“When ALICE chooses un-licensed child care or longer commutes or emergency room health care in order to put food on the table we all suffer the consequences with future costs to our education system, heavier traffic and higher premiums,” Manary said. “United Way is com-mitted to looking beyond the emergency Band-Aids and providing long-term solu-tions that will strengthen our communities.”

United Way is focused on providing the basic founda-tion in the areas of education, financial stability and health to help improve the lives of both ALICE and those in pov-erty, for the long-term benefit

of the wider community, she said

“Char-Em United Way is working everyday to provide a safety net for families who are struggling,” Manary noted. “Those in the ALICE popula-tion often move in and out of this struggle as they work to improve their situation. United Way works on multiple levels to address community need. Most importantly, we pull together community partners to collectively ad-dress issues. Together we have greater impact.

“As you move through your day, consider the people you come in contact with; from the grocery store to small business owner, daycare provider to dental assistant; can you tell which four out of 10 are ALICE? When we consider that young families who may have student loans and/or are paying for daycare or preschool, and seniors on a fixed income, they are very likely over represented in the ALICE households. It is easy to see why people in our area often are unaware of the struggles.”

The United Way ALICE Report was funded in part by corporate sponsors including AT&T, Atlantic Health System, Deloitte, Novartis, The UPS Foundation, Consumer Ener-gy, and Michigan Association of United Ways including the Char-Em United Way.

They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks; perhaps that is true. Maybe I haven’t really learned anything over the past month as much as I, as we have all had some-thing pointed out to us that we already knew; that life is tenuous at best. With the passing of Ryandavid Mari-hugh this weekend, that was three young men, too young to be gone, that we lost in the month of August. John Adams was in his early fif-ties, Joseph Swadling was 40y and Ryandavid would have celebrated his 31st birthday later this month.

Some of you may not think that you knew Ryandavid, a.k.a. Yeti, but the odds are good that you had some con-tact with him. He worked for BC Pizza for the past twelve years and he was sometimes behind the counter, some-times making deliveries, but you probably crossed his path. If you did, I guarantee that you received a big smile and, if he knew you, a warm hug. A harder working or sweeter dispositioned young man I have never encoun-tered and we send very sin-cere condolences to his wife, Chrystal, to his parents David and Sue and to his entire fam-

ily; our collective hearts are breaking for you.

Sometimes we feel, espe-cially when we are young, that we have forever but time proves that to be so very false and we are too often left wish-ing that we had said or done something that we didn’t get to. My mother always told me that she didn’t want flow-ers at her funeral because she wouldn’t be there to enjoy them; she preferred we give them to her while she was here. I’m sure that is the case with many of us.

I heard an anecdote re-cently about someone not traveling to see an elderly relative because they were in poor health and there would probably be another trip re-quired in the near future for a funeral. I’m guessing that relative would much rather prefer the visit while they are alive rather than have a lot of people at their memo-rial service. I was married about two weeks before my mother died and one of my nieces who lived on the other side of the country knew that she couldn’t make two trips and that my mother was in very precarious health. She opted to come for the wed-ding and to visit my mother,

rather than wait and make an appearance at the funeral. I have absolutely no doubt that she made the correct choice; that is what my mother would have wanted.

Ironically, I was actually inspired to write this column when Glenn Bonkosky passed away recently. There were so many amazing accolades written about him on the Harbor Springs Alumni page on Facebook; so many people referring to him as their favor-ite teacher and saying how much of an influence he was on their lives. It was beautiful, but I thought at the time that I hoped some of them took the time to tell him that while he was here. So often, we don’t take the time.

So this is what I learned, or re-learned this month. Don’t assume that you have a tomorrow. The time to make amends or to tell someone how important they are to you is now. I had a friend that I had a spat with in the late eighties and we didn’t speak for over twenty years. We have reconnected and I am so happy about that and I’m glad we are both here to be able to do that. Sadly, that isn’t aways the case.

I wish that I could tell all

the people in this town who I admire so much who they are and why. Actually, there is no reason that I can’t, that is just a cop out that we all use. How much time does it actually take to drop a card saying thank you in the mail or to make that phone call just to ask, “How are you doing?” I don’t know about the rest of you, but I think I’ll celebrate Rosh Hashanah a few weeks early and make a New Year’s resolution now. I used the quote “Carpe Diem” a few weeks ago; now, more than ever, I plan to seize the day.

I’m going to start with a very important birthday on September 3 to Neva Lauer. One of everyone’s favorite “lunch ladies” for years here at the school cafeteria, Neva will be turning 95 this Wednesday. I also have a belated birth-day wish going out to James Wendland on August 29; hope it was very special.

This week on September 4, Happy Birthday to Heather Owen Testa and on Friday, September 5 to Barb Paige, Larry “Grouse” Cummings, Laura VanAlstyne Kirchner and Jacque O’Neill. On Saturday we send birthday greetings to Wes Hovey, Tra-vis Backus, Dora Gage and

Mary Cummings. Sunday, September 7, Happy Birth-day to Will Henagan, Arlene McKinney, Mike Schlappi and Wendy Myers Lukasik and on Monday, September 8 to Mary Matthews Laslo and Beatrice “Bede” Tober-man. Happy Birthday on Tuesday, September 9, to Kit Simmons, Patty Horn Darby, Amber Schumacker and Hei-di Morse. Last but certainly not least, Happy Birthday on September 9 to Dick Keller.

We have several couples celebrating anniversaries this week as well. Happy an-niversary to Karl and Carol Santti on September 7, their 46th, and Patty and Barry Sutton will be celebrating on September 9. Finally, Happy Anniversary on September 10 to Ashley and Jeff Friske and to Danielle and Nick McIntosh.

In closing, I would like to offer personal congratula-tions to the News Editor of the Harbor Light, Kate Bassett, on the release of her first book. Words & Their Meanings will hit the shelves this week on September 8th. So glad to see you rewarded for your hard work, Kate.

Fall is in the air and market is now in “Saturdays Only” mode. Sweet corn and to-matoes have finally arrived (and if there is a better meal than steak on the grill with fresh buttery sweet corn and sliced vine ripe tomatoes, we

have no idea what it might be). Grilling during Indian Summer is the perfect way to end the day and where better to get your charcoal-worthy beef than from Dick Gregory ~ delicious! Music this week will be from Charlie Millard, always a welcome addition. We’ll be seeing pumpkins, winter squash and gourds as the days get longer and we hope we’ll be seeing you. We have one more “Shop with the Chef”...this time with Britt Beaumont from The Pier, it’s never too late to sign up so stop by the market tent and make your reservation to chat, shop and taste with one of our local cooking legends. The mushrooms have been

showing their love for our rainy weather and you will see the fruits of Ashleigh’s labor on the tables of Michigan Mushroom Market this week-end. Have you jumped into our “Just Say No to Plastic” campaign? We are encour-aging all of our customers to pass on the plastic by bringing their own reusable totes with them. If you forget yours, we have cloth totes with our one of a kind market logo for five dollars or you can pick up one of our paper bags for only a quarter. Be the change you want to see!

Meet you at the market,Cyndi Kramer, Market Master

Despite some gloomy predic-tions for our weather over the holiday weekend, we fared quite well for the most part. Rain early on Saturday morning moved out and we even had some sun in time for folks to get out and about to enjoy the fun of the annual Street Sales events. It was one of those weekends, however, where the clouds and rain moved in and out so we had to be prepared to don the rain gear at a moment’s notice. The rest of the past week was a mix of rain and sun as signs of fall can be spotted along the back roads and highways. The farmers markets are now filling up with those wonderful fall squash, potatoes, corn and the apples are also beginning to arrive. Predictions for the rest of this week are for periods of thunderstorms, some sunny days as temperatures begin to fall into the 50s and 60s for highs.

A reminder that Legs Inn in Cross Village is hosting the annual benefit dinner for the RFC (Readmond, Friendship, Cross Vil-lage) all-volunteer Fire and Rescue Squad, today, Wednesday, September 3 from 5-8 pm.

Choose from the “Taste of Poland” or roasted chicken dinner both of which will include soup or salad, a side dish, freshly baked bread, and a non-alcoholic beverage. Tickets may be purchased for a minimum donation of $25 for adults and $10 for children. Tickets will be available at the door. Two hand-stitched quilts will also be raffled.

Legends, Labyrinths, & Lore Program

In September, local artist, instructor, and farmer, Anne Morningstar is offering a Crooked Tree Arts Center workshop based on her paper painting technique. In the work-shop, Morningstar will work with participants sharing her techniques and hints as students create small paper painting works of their own. Morningstar works with a variety of media in the field of art: Animation, Film, Book Arts and Papermaking. She graduated from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and completed her Master of Science in Telecommunications, New Media from Indiana University in Bloom-ington. She is currently an arts instructor at North Central Michigan College and Crooked Tree Arts Center.

Morningstar’s work has been exhibited na-tionally through a variety of galleries, juried shows, film festivals, and traveling exhibitions. Her most recent exhibit, Native vs Invasive: A Great Lakes Narrative, hung earlier this year in Crooked Tree Arts Center Atrium Gallery. The displayed pieces were created using her paper painting technique.

“Painting with paper allows the artist to fully capture the essence of transparency. Light cre-

ates far more depth than the illusion of light and dark space; it is responsible for allowing textures to dance around us, and the layers of our environment to expose themselves,” Morningstar states. The vibrant colors and intricate details of her work led to many inquiries about the medium used to create the art and how to use paper this way. The questions, ‘Is it really paper?’ and ‘How does she get the paper to look like paint?’ were the most consistently asked questions.

Marty Samson, Crooked Tree Arts Center staff member commented, “While the show was on display, we had many visitors and art-ists ask for the opportunity to learn how create art with Anne’s technique. We love to provide opportunities for artist to share their talent and art techniques and for the participants to learn something new. This workshop will do just that!”

The Paper Painting workshop is scheduled for Saturday September 6th and 13th from 1:00 – 3:30 p.m. Class size is limited. For more information or to register, go to www.crookedtree.org or call Crooked Tree Arts Center

Learning the art of the quill boxCrooked Tree Arts Center is

in the final stretch of a sum-mer filled with all things De-troit. The work of twenty De-troit artists is on display with notable pieces in numerous media. Fifty-two photographs chronicled in Jenny Risher’s book “Heart Soul Detroit” walks one through the lives of prominent Detroiters that speak of the cultural foun-dation of the current move-ments in the “D.”

“It is hard to believe that this experience is nearing its final days at Crooked Tree” reflects Gail DeMeyere, curator of the exhibition, “I have studied and lived with the work in the building for two years now and it is a nostalgic feeling to think about packing it up and sending back downstate.”

During the summer months, there have been many experi-ences that have brought the community together through lectures, concerts, movies

and artistic happenings. The idea of the exhibition was to raise awareness of new ideas happening not so far away from northern Michigan and to create the beginning to future collaborations with the synergy that is happening in the city.

Detroit at CTAC will be on display through September 6th and is free and open to the public. The Crooked Tree Arts Center is located downtown Petoskey at 461 E. Mitchell Street. For more information please call the Arts Center at 231-347-4337 or visit www.crookedtree.org. This pro-gram supported in part by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and Edward Jones of Harbor Springs and Petoskey.

Quill boxes. The phrase woven into the fabric of art in this community. It’s equal parts history, cultural, community. It’s sense of place in the truest place. Three Pines Studio in Cross Village recently hosted artist Yvonne Walker Kes-hick to teach a weeklong workshop on making traditional quill boxes. Keshick, a Charlevoix native/Petoskey resident started making the boxes some 44 years ago.

“I was 19 or 20 and very shy,” Walker Keshick explained. “They put me to work in an arts and crafts coop run by Vic Kishigo so I learned how to do quillwork there and I worked there for six years in the summer time and in the winter time I kept producing.”

“I decided to do quillwork for the rest of my life in 1980, and my kids started doing it too. They wanted to learn. I didn’t make them come over and sit down and say ‘learn this.’ When they wanted to, they could come sit down at the table. You never know unless you try.”

Her years of hardwork and determination to her craft were celebrated this year, as Keshick was named of the 2014 honorees joining the National Heritage Fellowships, lifetime honor, which was awarded by the National Endow-ment of the Arts in Washington, D.C.

Keshick took several examples of her work with her to

Fitness ForumBy TL SmithFitness Director Bay tennis anD Fitness

Rest and recovery are just as important as your training program. The body needs to be exposed to the stresses of exercise and training in order to improve physically.

Workouts themselves only provide the stimulus for change, but the actual improvement in fitness level takes place between workouts. A period of recovery is needed because the body needs time to adapt to the stress.

Exercise or any physical work causes changes in the body breaking down tissue, depleting your energy stores, and fluid loss. As the body compensates for the stresses of training, it will adapt and grow stronger. The body repairs damaged tissue, strengthens, and replenishes energy stores between workouts, while continuous training without proper recovery can actually weaken the strongest athlete. Without sufficient time to repair and recovery the body will continue to break down. Symptoms from overtraining include: fatigue, lack of motivation, little or no improvement in fitness level, loss of appetite, decrease in sport performance or increase risk of injury. Recovery must occur before progress can be made.

Recovery Strategies• Stretching – Simple stretches after a workout helps blood

flow, release muscle tension, while allowing you to fully relax.• Hydrate-You lose a lot of fluid when exercising. Ideally you

should be replacing it during exercise. Water is needed for tissue and muscle repair and helps transfer nutrients throughout the body.

• Eat properly-You need to refuel if you expect your body to recover. Try to eat within 60 minutes after your workout and

make sure you include high protein and complex carbohy-drates (fruits and vegetables).

• Foam roller-rolling out muscles with a foam roller can help remove knots and help prevent muscle imbalances.

• Rest -Make sure you are getting enough sleep. This is when your muscle tissues repair and rebuild. Lack of sleep also seems to have negative effect on performance and recovery.

• General relaxation - Listening to music or reading a book slows pulse rate and has a calming effect on the body.

• Massage—Massage helps break up scar tissue, reduces sore-ness, and increases circulation, and helps the body relax.

• Contrast or Cold bath-While showering, alternate 2 min-utes of hot water and 30 seconds of cold water four or five times. A cold bath will help reduce muscle soreness and inflammation.

• Avoid Overtraining-Excessive exercise, working the same body part over and over (ie biceps), and heavy training at every session or lack of rest days will limit your gains and often result in injury. Rotating muscle groups in your work-outs will help recovery. Muscles take anywhere from 24-72 hours to repair and regenerate.

Your body knows what it needs so listen to it. If you’re over tired, extremely sore, have loss of appetite, or decrease in performance you most likely need more recovery time. The problem is that most of the time we don’t adhere to the warn-ings or dismiss them. Listen to your body, be flexible, train smarter, rest and recover.

Rest and recovery after exercise

Workouts themselves only provide the stimulus for change, but the actual im-provement in fitness level takes place be-tween workouts. A period of recovery is needed because the body needs time

The rhythmic rising and set-ting of sun and moon and stars throughout the season draws forth an abundant harvest from the Earth, and a desire to dance in the rest of us! Emmet County and the

Headlands park are pleased to host the dynamic sounds of the Moxie Strings for our first-ever Harvest Moon Dance under the big tent, a big Moon, and starry skies.

“Dancing to celebrate the

harvest has been a tradition observed by many cultures for centuries, and this year, we’re joining in with a dance to celebrate our bounty as well , which is the enthusiasm of our many visitors through-

out the summer, the beauti-ful night sky, super moons, shooting stars, all of it!” said Mary Stewart Adams, Dark Sky Park Program Director. “The Moxie Strings are a high-energy duo with a great drum-mer and we are excited to host them under the moonlit skies of Michigan’s Dark Sky Park.”

(To get a taste of their sound, follow this link: http://www.themoxiestrings.com/)

The night of the Harvest Moon Dance, Sept. 5, is

close to this year’s last “super moon,” so it will be big and bright. Not only is Septem-ber’s Full Moon a Super Moon, it’s also this year’s Harvest Moon. Harvest Moon is al-ways the Full Moon closest to Autumn Equinox, in part because it lingers, brightly-lit, at the horizon, allowing for working and dancing into the night, explained Adams.

“Moonlight through the Headlands is one of the most beautiful experiences. Add a little music and some dancing fun and I think it will be one of our best programs celebrating the beauty of the Headlands,” she added.

As with all Headlands events, the Moxie Strings dance will take place rain or shine and there is no cost to attend. Reservations are not necessary. Refreshments will be available. The dance will take place under a large tent near the designated Dark Sky Viewing Area; follow the signs in the park.

If you have questions, call Adams at (231) 348-1713 or email [email protected].

The Headlands is a 600-acre park on the Straits of Macki-nac, two miles west of down-town Mackinaw City, at 15675 Headlands Road (please note this is a new address as of January 2014). The park is free and open to the public every day. While no camping is al-lowed, visitors are welcome to stay overnight to observe the dark sky overhead. The Headlands became the 6th International Dark Sky Park in the U.S. and the 9th in the world in May 2011, and each month free programs are held for the public. Visit www.em-metcounty.org for programs and more information, email [email protected], or call (231) 348-1704. The county sends regular email blasts as well with informa-tion about night-sky observa-tion opportunities and celes-tial events; to register, use the contact information above.

Headlands to host Moxie Strings concert under the stars September 5


I once tried writing about Harbor Springs in gradu-ate school and was ac-cused of writing a Hall-

mark card to a town. At the time, this was not a compli-ment.

But expressing one’s love of a place can be a tricky en-deavor.

Harbor Springs is more than its pretty woods and sandy

shores. Describing its scent as a mingling of evergreen, sweetgrass, and spring fed fresh water is too easy. And yes, there are stars, meteor showers and northern light displays that can take the breath away from even the most jaded among us. But that still doesn’t explain why we all stand atop the bluff, in-hale deeply, and take pictures, in all sorts of weather, again and again and again.

It’s a magic that can’t be fully captured because this town is more than just a pretty place. Underneath Harbor’s blue skies, puffy white clouds, and endless water filled horizon is so much more. Sure we love Harbor for all its natural beauty. But underneath those good looks, is a com-munity of people that give Harbor Springs its heart.

This community is made up of weekenders, summer people, and year-rounders, all of whom feel a deep connection and tie to this place. I am the fifth generation (on both sides of my family) to call this place home in the summer. My entire existence hinges on Harbor Springs, as my parents met and fell in love here. And in my early twenties, after a bout with an illness that nearly claimed my life, I moved here permanently for a while. It was in walking my dog through the streets that I gained back my strength. And it was through my daily interac-tions with the people of this town that my sense of hope and spirit were restored.

In many ways, I owe this town my life.

I know I am not the only one who feels so strongly and so indebted to this place we all call home in our unique ways. It is visible in the way this community of people funds and supports preservation, stewardship, and conservation. It is demonstrated in the easy wave between people on the street, the shared laughs between acquaintances, and the willingness, from most everyone, to lend a hand. People still have time for each other here.

In the last couple of years, this town has seen a resurgence of positive energy through the influx of young people return-ing to make a life here after college. One hundred Fifty-Six East Main Street has become a prime example. This single address is home to three thriving new businesses thanks to a creative group of young women. One hundred Fifty-Six East Main is home to Smitten Events, Pure Yoga of Harbor Springs, and Stephanie N. Baker Photography. And on the other end of town is Coolhouse Labs and A. R. Pontius Flower shop, both with young people at the helm as well. And of course, we have celebrated and welcomed Between the Covers to its new prime location on Main Street under the direction of owner, Katie Capaldi.

It’s an exciting time in Harbor Springs but the off-season still poses a bit of a problem. So how do we support and encourage this new energy? How do we make Harbor Springs more than just a summer destination?

Here at the paper, we think in stories. It’s where we find our answers.

In the past few years, northwest Michigan has become a literary and cultural hot spot. Programs like the National Writers Series based in Traverse City and the Bear River Writ-ers Conference have experienced growing success and have introduced readers and writers alike to this area. Nationally recognized and award winning authors have begun to make this area a stopping point on book tours and family vacations. Independent bookstores are celebrated and supported here.

It is with this in mind that we came up with an idea for our town. For the past year, Charles O’Neill, Kate Bassett, Katie Capaldi (Between the Covers) and I have been working on creating a festival. But it isn’t just any festival. This is the Harbor Springs Festival of the Book and it is about celebrating community, culture, education, and Harbor Springs.

The Harbor Springs Festival of the Book (HSFOB) will be a nationally known and attended annual book festival that brings people together in celebration of all things book related.

For four days in the fall, Harbor Springs will host this event that is open to and created for all ages, demographics and income levels. This celebration goes beyond just the printed word, as planned demonstrations (cooking, gardening, fish-ing, musical, illustration etc) will be included in the lineup of events. HSFOB plans to have major keynote speakers who will attract a national audience.

HSFOB intends to have an educational and community focus. We plan to create strong partnerships with the schools and local businesses.

Authors will be asked to go into classrooms working closely with educators to create a meaningful day of knowledge and fun that will coincide with the HSFOB. HSFOB plans to create a scholarship in conjunction with the festival.

This is a celebration of the stories we tell in all their forms. Harbor Springs, Emmet County, and Michigan are at the fore-front of every consideration in regard to this festival. HSFOB is about bringing people together while encouraging interest and investment in Harbor Springs during the off-season. While there will be some ticketed events, there will also be plenty of free options. HSFOB is meant to be an inclusive celebra-tion and premier event that ensures a lasting and significant cultural and economic future for the area.

The intention is to host the first annual HSFOB in the fall of 2016.

This germ of an idea has grown quickly. The Harbor Springs Festival of the Book is now incorporated as a Michigan non-profit. We have a solid business plan, a strong board and ex-ecutive committee. And now, thanks to the Petoskey-Harbor Area Community Foundation, people are able to make tax deductible donations to the HSFOB via the foundation.

An initial start-up donation has been made, which has al-lowed us to begin building our website, applying for our 501c3,

and beginning the process of securing top notch authors and keynote speakers.

The thing about stories is we all have one, love one, and want to share one.

This festival is about celebrating those stories. And while Harbor Springs’ beauty is always on display, this festival will allow the community to show its heart as well.

Someone once told me that love and commit-ment are best shown through taking action. It is our hope that HSFOB will prove to be a premier event that will give back to the community in myriad ways.

And if I am writing a Hallmark card to a town, then this is meant as a sincere thank you for all you have given me over the years. And just to say, Harbor Springs, we’re always thinking of you.

You pick’em!

It’s nothing short of embarrassing when I hear myself complaining about it.

The complaining is about the most mundane thing: the weather. The embarrassment is because when a girl gets mar-ried to the best man in the world and completes her first book, and her whole family is in this moment healthy and happy, she knows it’s downright pathetic that she’d have a complaint in the world about much of anything, let alone the weather.

And yet. She does. Here’s how it sounds:

This weather! Just stupid-chilly.If it rains again today, I’m going to…(she trails off with no

real threat to give the rain)I feel like I should make a warm and cozy STEW today, not

ICE CREAM.

One of the few positive things that could be said about the weather up north this summer, besides the incredibly beauti-ful sunsets it can produce, is that it’s a lot like San Francisco in summer. You know the Twain quote: “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.” Except we’re not in San Francisco.

Thing is, we had similar weather last summer. And then the polar winter. I wish I could joke about having heard on the street more than once in the past week that we can expect snow again up north…in September.

I’ve been reminded re-cently that I haven’t made a single batch of ice cream this summer (no stew, either). Everyone around here remembers a salted caramel dream I made last summer, and tub after tub that I twirled out during cookbook recipe devel-opment over the winter. It’s been months, they’ve groaned.

I came up with every ex-cuse I could think of, from wedding to book to blog, but the biggest one to which no retort could be made? Too cold for ice cream,

man. That held no water, though, since my people know all too well that I’ve never let the weather keep me from a cone (and neither have they).

I suspect they are not, however, expecting apricot sherbet in response to their request. But I’ve been thinking on devel-oping this recipe ever since I tasted something like it back in January when I was in the sunny south visiting my snowbird mother. The apricot flavor will slap you in the face, it’s that tart and good. Besides, when I saw the pretty little apricots at the market lately, I realized the sun must have been out once or twice here to have produced such bounty of my favorite–the Lebanese favorite—fruit. The taste of the apricots-turned-sherbet is so WOW, it will transform any and all bad-summer-weather memories into just what a beautiful summer it was up north in Michigan.

Never too cold for ice cream!

Apricot SherbetIt’s remarkable to discover that a sherbet is simply just cooked fruit or fruit juice and sugar (not too much of that, or the sherbet won’t set and the fruit flavor won’t shine), chilled and then churned in your ice cream maker. That’s sorbet, actually—add a cup of cream and you’ve got sherbet. Add the same of yogurt instead, and you’ve got frozen yogurt.

1 pound ripe apricots1/4 cup water1/2 cup sugarJuice of 1/2 lemon1 cup heavy cream

Pit the apricots by simply splitting them in half with your fingers. Coarsely chop them, leaving the skin on.

In a heavy medium saucepan, bring the apricots and water to a boil. Reduce the heat and cover, cooking until the apricots are broken down and very soft, about 5 minutes. Lift the lid now and then to stir the pot and take in the scent of summer.

Add the sugar and lemon juice and taste. If the apricots need more sweetening, add more sugar a tablespoon at a time until it tastes perfect.

Puree the apricots in a food processor or blender. Add the cream and puree until combined.

Chill the mixture quickly by pouring it into a zip-lock bag and immersing the bag into a bowl of ice water. Massage the bag numerous times, opening the top of the bag to release steam. Or, chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least a few hours.

Pour the cold apricot mixture into your ice cream maker and churn. Serve the apricot sherbet soft right away (that’s how I like it), or freeze for a couple of hours for a harder, colder effect.

The taste of the apricots-turned-sherbet is so WOW, it will transform any and all bad-summer-weather memories into just what a beautiful summer it was up north in Michigan.

The apricots are so lovely right now, they’ll erase any memories of bad summer weather up north.

Sherbet is a simple mix of cooked fruit and sugar, with cream or milk. For frozen yogurt, substitute yogurt for the dairy. For sorbet, leave the dairy out altogether. (Photos courtesy Maureen Abood)

When the Game Stands Tall

I’m a sucker for a good sports movie and this one quali-fies. With football season just beginning, this is a nice, inspirational movie for young gridiron stars. It is based on the story of the De La Salle Spartans, a Catholic High School team from California that set an amazing record winning streak of 151 games over twelve seasons from 1992 to 2004. I mention the fact that it is a Catholic High School only because it is pertinent to the story; I can’t imagine too many non-parochial school coaches getting away with quoting scripture to his team. This coach, Bob Ladouceur (Jim Caviezel,) stressed team work, quoting Matthew 23:12 (“Those who exalt themselves will be humbled”) Even a team with stars is more successful if everyone feels they are an important part of the winning formula.

The movie isn’t all about the winning streak, it also is about the end of the streak and how learning to lose is just as important is learning to win. Caviezel’s Ladouceur isn’t a screaming, stomping on the sidelines sort of coach; he is almost soft spoken, but his players would do just about anything he asks them to and his style of coaching is refresh-ing. Michael Chiklis’s assistant coach is your more typical coach; he is far more vocal, to say the least. Laura Dern gives a nice performance as the coach’s wife.

I think understated would be a good term for the movie as a whole. The football scenes are entertaining, there are back stories involving many of the characters and there is plenty of drama, but compared with some other high school football movies, this one is like the coach that it portrays; unassuming and kind of quiet.

If you are fan of Friday Night Lights, this reminded me of that show quite a bit. It is an inspirational story and I would think that any aspiring football players would really like it, but any young athletes could learn from it. Rated PG, there is no sex or nudity and very little profanity, but there is some violence and some domestic cruelty that was a little difficult to watch. All in all, a very refreshing sports movie.

YOUR MAMMOGRAM IS COVERED!!!McLaren Northern Michigan and the Health Department of Northwest Michigan are working together to make sure EVERY WOMAN in northern Michigan has access to a mammogram. Call (800) 432-4121 to find out how.

DID YOU KNOW one in seven women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime? Early detection is the key to survival.

Washington, including a medallion with her family’s clan animals, several finished boxes and several cut away box used to display their con-struction.

“In 1973, I did a term paper and took it to my instructor and said someday this is go-ing to be published,” Keshick said. “Sure enough, with this award, I am able to publish it. It is a step by step book on how to build a quill box.”

Keshick teaches a workshop every year in the area as a way to share the art form with other people.

“Everyone is doing the same design,” she said of the workshop, “but we have 15 different ways of doing the stars and they cannot copy the same one as someone else. So on friday, when we get done you get the group photograph of everyone hanging onto the same star but they are all dif-ferent.”

“The challenge,” she noted, “comes with each quill and how you want to place it to get the shading.”

“I like the dimensional ones the most, but I also like doing animals. The animals are difficult, more so than birds. When I made my first bird it was alot easier than the animals, because if you don’t get the expression on the animal right it really messes things up.”

“I find it very relaxing,” Keshick said of her quill work. “My family and I are one of a few families that work year round. Most of the families that do quillwork will do it in the winter time and when open season comes up, they will find other jobs. And when the winter comes around they will go back to doing quill-work. You can’t make them fast enough.”

Keshick sells her quill boxes several places in the area, as

does her son Arnold. They share their quills with a net-work of other artists so no quills go to waste.

“I can go through one porci in about six weeks, us-ing about 30-40,000 quills,” Keshick said. “These are quills that people brought me last year. They are washed and dried and sorted by size ac-cording to size. Every part of the quill box uses a different sized quill. The finer ones are for design and then the heavier ones go around the side and these even more heavy ones for the bottom. If they are way too big I recycle them and give them to some-one who makes quill jewelry. Whatever I don’t use, like the super fine quills, will go to someone who uses a lot of detail, like my son Arnold.”

Quill boxes as an art and utilitarian form goes back centuries.

“Its old art,” Keshick said. “Nobody knows for sure how old it is. A joke is that there were two porcupines peaking out of the bushes at a man making a basket, and they said “jeez, I hope they don’t start quillwork.”

She explained the boxes were first used as storage containers that were buried in different camps around the area so food would be waiting upon arrival.

“It wasn’t a written lan-guage, so whatever was pic-tured on top was in the box. This is chokecherries,” she says pointing to a box.

“A thousand years back, grandma would have said to the kids ‘go down to the cache box and get me some chokecherries.’ They would go down and see the choke-cherry symbol and bring it back and she would take a handful and throw it in the soup. They would put the lid back on and put back in the box. The chokecherries would

have been pitted and dried, which was done by rubbing blocks of wood over the top and the pits would come out and get picked out. Then the cherries would be dried. The bark used for quill boxes is very bitter so only one bug will chew through the box, and that is the bronze birch borer.”

“The lids are supposed to be snug and tight so bugs can’t get through there and when you open it, there is supposed to be a little bit of a vacuum,” she explained about a quill box’s construction. “They would bury the boxes down in the ground, line it with birch bark around the sides, and pound in stakes so the bark wouldn’t curl. Then the food packages would be put in and covered with a heavy lid so bears, raccoons, skunks and badgers couldn’t get into it and tear it up. That is what the cache pits were for, and they would have cach pits all over.

“They had them here in Cross Village, and in the win-ter time when they moved-- they moved inland to get away from the cold winds-- they would go to Burt Lake and there would be cache pits there already waiting for them. They could keep any-thing in them: fruit, meats, seeds, fish, berries, all dried. So it had a real practical use, and that is why I do my class in August, because everything is ripe in August.”

Most of Keshick’s special orders are by word of mouth, as are her workshops. That way, she can keep up with production as well as teach. All quill box creators put their initials on the boxes so they can be identified to that artist.

By doing workshops and publishing her book, Keshick is able to keep the art of quill boxes alive and pass on to future generations, one quill at a time.
