The Little Traverse Wheelway is the heart of this region’s trail system; more than 100,000 people a year use it (and that’s just during the non-snowy months), and studies estimate that folks using the trails account for some $750,000 in revenues for towns like Petoskey, Harbor Springs, and Alanson.

“We’ve spoken with a number of people and busi-nesses this year, and the consensus was that the trails were even busier in 2015,” noted Jeff Winegard, execu-tive director for Top of Michigan Trails Council.

The amount of use and the tourism the trails drive are a huge part of the reason the Trails Council has em-barked on a fundraising campaign to purchase a historic house along the M-119 section of trail (between Harbor Springs and Petoskey) that will become the Lit-tle Traverse Wheelway’s “Ultimate Trailhead.”

Now just $75,000 shy of the goal-- the organization has raised $275,000 to date-- the Michigan Economic Development Corpo-ration is partnering with Top of Michigan Trails Council for a new

‘Gratitude’ series...Editor’s note: When we were putting together our season journal, Welcome North, we decided to cre-ate a checklist of “must-do” fall experiences. We used some of our local business folks for sources, and I soon noticed a pattern: many of the autumnal favorites included utilizing the amenities we have in our com-munity-- from the lakeshore to farms and so much in between-- that those of us who live and work here are often too busy to take advantage of during the peak of summer season. So we’ve decided to use this fall to start a new occasional series called “gratitude.” We’ll be celebrating the places, spaces, and people that make this region great. Hopefully, we’ll also encourage our readers to get out and adventure through these stories. This week, we’re kicking off our series with gratitude for our community trails.

--Kate Bassett


Family bike rides, quiet woods walks, cross country runs and half-marathons-- the list of uses and rea-sons to experience local trails could go on almost into infinity. With hundreds of miles of maintained trail systems, this region is a true trail-centred place, something worth celebrating this week in particular: it’s Michigan Trails Week.

According to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, the state boasts more than 5,000 miles of non-motorized trails, including 4,805 hiking trails and 1,084 bike trails. Northern Michigan-- and this region in particular-- is a big part of the reason the state has

so many great paths. In addition to long-

standing staples like the well cared for sections of the North Country Trail that run through Emmet County, this area is home to the Top of Michigan Trails Council (which cares for nearly 300 miles of trails) and the Little Tra-verse Conservancy.

The conservancy serves as the steward for almost 110 miles of trails that span 50 different nature pre-serves in its service area.

It certainly is not a new discus-sion, but the subject of parking in downtown Harbor Springs got a fresh round of debate during a joint session of the Harbor Springs City Council, Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and Harbor Springs Planning Commission on Monday evening, Sept. 21.

Brought to the table by city man-ager Tom Richards, the subject of parking has been one of much talk, debate and pavement for years in Harbor Springs. The question has always been, and remains, does the city have a parking problem? It has been argued that there are only a few weeks, maybe even a few days, during the summer when parking is an issue.

There has also been the argument made that if businesses kept their employees from parking in town, there would be no issue. Both argu-ments resurfaced Monday night.

Currently, Harbor Springs enforc-es its summer parking regulations using city police walking around marking tires with chalk and then coming back a few hours later and writing tickets. However, cars can be and most likely are moved just avoid the ticket.

Police chief Dan Branson said it was the Harbor Springs Chamber of Commerce that initially requested enforcement a number of years ago, precisely to address local employees parking in town.

In his presentation, city manager Richards outlined the history and some of the new issues that have come up, particularly with new businesses wanting to open in town, namely restaurants.

According to current city code, some of which has been tweaked to deal with specific issues, retail busi-nesses require one parking space for every 300 sq. ft. of retail space. Restaurants require one space for every 100 sq. ft.

“So if a restaurant wants to move into a former retail space, we are requiring to create more parking out of thin air,” Richards noted.

The city and its planning commis-sion did come up with alternatives. Businesses can, and do, lease park-ing spaces to meet the requirements. The Depot Restaurant leased spaces off of Third St. and from the Holy Childhood Church, Richards noted in an interview Tuesday morning.

There was also “in lieu of park-ing” payment option created a few years ago.

While race organizers were likely glued to weather radars in the 12 hours before the Little Traverse Half Marathon started, the worst rains and winds cleared before the starting gun went off in Bay Harbor. Runners were still all smiles as they began their 13.1 mile point-to-point trek to Harbor Springs, proving the beauty of the course and event volunteers offered all the sunshine needed for a great race.

“Adverse weather might have ac-tually made this a better race than ever,” said Molly Ames Baker, race director. “The runners were really appreciative, the volunteers-- all 112 of them-- were incredibly upbeat, and everyone (including specta-tors) rejoiced when the sun came

“The Store”, which also went by the name of the Lamkin store, was located at the bottom of the bluff in Good Hart.

Michigan has some of the highest obesity rates in the nation, with roughly a third of Michigan children considered overweight or obese. Close to home, the northwest Michigan region is significantly high.

The United States Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention (CDC) reports that 12.7 million of U.S. children and adolescents aged 2 – 19 are obese. (Obesity is classified as Body Mass Index (BMI) above the 95th percentile.)

A GLIMMER OF HOPEThrough education and awareness initia-

tives, obesity rates among preschool-aged children (under age 5) are decreasing. How-ever, CDC data shows that 1 in 8 preschoolers in the United States are still categorized as obese.

STILL REASON FOR ACTIONCDC reports that the obesity percentage

among United States children aged 6 – 11 increased from 7 percent in 1980 to nearly 18 percent in 2012. Similarly, the percentage of adolescents aged 12 – 19 years who were obese increased from 5 percent to nearly 21 percent over the same period.

Obesity rates are high within certain racial and ethnic groups and those most commonly found in lower socioeconomic groups.

“Unfortunately, low income children are the ones most likely to derive their calories from processed foods, which are relatively inexpensive, yet high in fatty meats, unhealthy carbohydrates, excess sodium, and refined sugars,” said Betsy Pollock-Tiedeck, RN, CDE, Certified Diabetes Educator and Registered Dietitian at McLaren Northern Michigan. “And, these children are also the least likely to have adequate daily exercise.”

Obesity is a serious condition, and children won’t “grow out of it,” explained Pediatric Physician Claudio Duarte, of Alcona Health Center at McLaren Northern Michigan-Cheboygan Campus. On the contrary, obesity sets the stage for a lifetime of accumulating health problems. “Without proactive early childhood interventions and incorporation of long-term healthy lifestyle habits, obese children are much more likely to stay obese right into adulthood.”

“The associated health risks are enormous: stroke, chronic diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and some can-cers are much more prevalent,” Duarte added. But problems go beyond physical health. So-cial and mental complications include stress and anxiety, poor self-esteem and depression, bullying and victimization, and behavior and learning problems.

Given the high obesity rates within its 22-county service region, McLaren Northern Michigan has made a dedicated commitment to address the issue by offering dietary and wellness programs, diabetes education, fit-ness classes, and FitKids360, an innovative program for children with a body mass index of 85 percent or higher.

FitKids360 is a healthy lifestyle program developed to fight childhood obesity. The comprehensive, six-week program combines basic education about nutrition, behavior and exercise with a wide range of physical activities, designed for kids ages 5 – 16 and their families.

“Our goal is to provide an effective solution for overweight children who have been unable to make changes on their own,” explained Tanya Janes, education specialist of Health and Wellness Services for McLaren North-ern Michigan. “By focusing on the physical, mental, behavioral and nutritional aspects of healthy living, we can help kids and their families enjoy longer, more active, happier, healthier lives.”

Free of charge, the program is led by local health experts who communicate with pri-mary care providers about long-term plans and progress.

Duarte said he is cautiously hopeful. “Every small change, every single effort will add up, but we must be diligent, because the problem will not fix itself.”

Six-week FitKids360 sessions occur in the fall, winter, and spring with one session sched-ule to begin this fall. Those interested in par-ticipating should contact their primary care provider, school nurse, or McLaren Northern Michigan at (800) 248-6777.

September is Prostate Can-cer Awareness month. The Karmanos Cancer Institute at McLaren Northern Michi-gan is encouraging men who could be affected by prostate cancer to talk to their doctor about screening options.

Those most frequently af-fected by prostate cancer are men age 50 to 75, or as young as 45 years with family history of the disease. Excluding skin cancers, prostate cancer is the most common cancer among American men. Age is the most common risk factor for prostate cancer; more than 70 percent of men diagnosed with prostate cancer each year are over the age of 65.

The exact cause of prostate cancer is not known, so at this

time it isn’t possible to prevent most cases of the disease. Many risk factors such as age, race, and family history can’t be controlled and because symptoms of prostate cancer may not surface for many years, screening is the key to early detection, diagnosis, and treatment.

Typical indications of pros-tate trouble include: weak or interrupted urine flow, inability to urinate, difficulty stopping or starting the urine flow, the need to urinate fre-quently, blood in the urine or semen, burning or pain upon urination, and continuing pain in the lower back, pelvis, or thighs. By the time symp-toms do occur, the disease may have spread beyond the

prostate and may be signs of other medical conditions as well, so it is important to consult your primary care physician.

One out of six men will get prostate cancer; one in 35 will die from it. Regular screenings make a significant difference. When caught early, prostate cancer has more than a 90 per-cent survival rate according the American Cancer Society. Men, don’t delay… talk to your doctor about your prostate health today.

To learn more about our cancer program, visit north-ernhealth.org/cancer or call (800) 248-6777. Karmanos Cancer Institute details can be found at karmanos.org.

This year’s Harvest Moon ar-rives under the spell of Earth’s shadow and will appear totally eclipsed everywhere east of the Rocky Mountains, including at the Headlands International Dark Sky Park in Mackinaw City. Join Head-lands staff under the night sky starting Sunday evening, Sept. 27 through total eclipse phase and into the early hours of Monday, Sept. 28, as the eclipse completes.

The program is free and open to the public and reser-vations are not required.

“Lunar Eclipses can occur over several hours, and they take in a larger geographical area than Solar Eclipses,” ex-plained Headlands program director Mary Stewart Adams. “The amount of time it takes allows us to present other activities of interest, and this year we are welcoming back creative science writer Paul

Bogard, whose book, ‘The End of Night’ has really made a mark in the dark sky advocacy movement.”

Guests are invited to the Headlands Guest House for viewing of the eclipse from 7 p.m. to 2 am. Paul Bogard will be on site the entire evening, with a formal presentation starting at 8 p.m.

The exact eclipse times are as follows:

Partial Eclipse begins at 9:07 p.m. (since the Moon will have risen an hour and a half ear-lier, at 7:21 p.m., it will be high enough in the sky to be seen when eclipse begins); Total Eclipse begins at 10:11 p.m.; Greatest Eclipse moment is at 10:47 p.m.; Totality completes at 11:23 p.m.; Partial Eclipse ends at 12:27 a.m. (Sept. 28)

“This Harvest Moon Eclipse is the last in the series of four Total Lunar eclipses that re-ally stirred up a sensation in

2014 and 2015,” said Adams. “It’s also a Super Moon, and sometimes known as a ‘Blood Moon’ because of the red-dish appearance of the Moon when it is moving through Earth’s shadow. It’s also the Full Moon closest to Autumn Equinox, which means it is used to determine the sacred days of the season in many traditions.”

While some light refresh-ments, telescopes, and art supplies will be provided, you are welcome to bring your own snacks and equipment. Program will be both indoors and out, and no reservations are necessary. Please note that due to construction on site at the Headlands, we do have a limited amount of parking at the Guest House, and we will provide transportation from the entrance to the park once the Guest House parking lot is full.

Peace of mind is priceless

by Burley

Sometimes listening to the news and reading the papers can be depressing, especially during an election cycle when it can be almost overwhelm-ing. When I have the oppor-tunity to share a positive story, I jump at the opportunity. I have one this week.

Jan Parsons called me and ask me to stop by Bay Bluffs and meet one of the residents there, she was so impressed with him. His name is Da-vid Rae and this time he has been there since Christmas of 2013, but he has been in and out of facilities since

an unsuccessful operation in 2006, following which he spent five months in a medi-cally induced coma. His first stay at Bay Bluffs was in 2008 for rehabilitation, learning to walk again but his return to his Pellston home proved to be too much for David and his wife of 47 years. His medical issues and medications were becoming too difficult to handle and he was readmitted to Bay Bluffs.

Some people would allow this to make them morose or bitter, but David instead turned his energy in another direction. When my father was a resident at Bay Bluffs, we spent quite a bit of time in the outdoor area behind the facility. There were some pretty flowers out there, but nothing like the area that David has created. There are large flower boxes lining the paths and decorating the ga-zebo, but the flowers are only the tip of the iceberg.

Along with sidewalk, there are several containers of herbs. Nearby are the com-post piles that he has recently started, but it is around the northeast side of the build-ing that you will find his true treasures. Sunflower plants standing taller than you can imagine, several varieties of tomatoes, radishes, zucchini, gourds, even a lone pumpkin. The cherry tomato plants are so loaded that at first glance,

David Rae, Bay Bluffs resident and gardener, shows off his sunflowers.

you think you are looking at a grape vine.

Right now (because of the same idiotic laws that won’t let the Manna Project reuse grocery bags), his produce cannot be used by the kitchen in Bay Bluffs but he hopes in the future that he will receive the credentials he needs to allow his fellow residents to enjoy the fruits of his labors.

With all that he has been through, it would have been easy for David to just settle in his room and let the world pass him by. Instead, he chooses to try and make his little corner of the world just

a little bit prettier and more productive. That is a refresh-ing point of view in this world and I applaud him.

Judy Meyer asked if I could mention something for her. A little while ago, she was in Family Dollar and overheard a woman looking for scissors to remove some stitches. Judy graciously offered the stranger some scissors from a set she had, the woman fol-lowed her home to get them, but Judy didn’t get the lady’s name. She would just like to get the word out to this per-son that she would like her scissors back. Judy’s number

is 526-5675. Before we get to this week’s

birthdays and anniversaries, let’s send congratulations to two Smith sisters, as John and Doris Grosskopf and El-eanor and John Cupps both celebrated their anniversaries last week. Kudos to all of you.

Let’s start this week with anniversary greetings on the 24th to Laurissa and Jim Wendland and on the 27th to Paul and Enola Stanley. Best wishes to both couples.

Birthdays this week begin on Thursday, the 24th, with greetings to Sandy Moore, Ralph Fodell and to Rob Mc-Cready and on Friday the 25th to Elizabeth Molosky, Ashley Kilmer, Tom Ranney, David Witte and Derrick Manville. Saturday the 26th we say Hap-py Birthday to K.J. Luebke, Tiffany Aquila Peebles and of course, Marty MacGregor on and Sunday to Calli O’Neill, Olivia Pichiotino, Jamee Fry, Karen Weber Jenson, Bill Engler, Rita Crapsey, Pam Be-atty, Trisha Brimacombe and especially to Vonda Seamon on her 50th from her husband Danny. Monday, September 28, we send birthday wishes to Katie Allore, Tom Drury and Tim Perry and on September 30 to Michael Shelton, Nancy Paige and Monica Long. Hope you all have wonderful days.

As autumn makes its way into Harbor Springs, it shows how much it loves the market by keeping the rain at bay and the temperatures mild. We had another great Saturday morn-ing with some excellent Celtic music by Weaving the Wind. The Little Traverse Bay Half-Marathon was a success and the runners ended their race in sunny weather with granola bars from My Sister’s Bake Shop. They loved them and you will, too! Remember, we are downtown until the second weekend in October and they we will be going inside (location is still under discussion) until the end of December. We would love to have a winter market until April but it has been a struggle so we are going to go with what works best and provide good local food through your holiday season and then we will start preparing for another great fantastic summer. This week we will be hosting Dwain Martin as our musical guest and we’ll be sharing the day with Taste of Harbor Springs. You can get tummy filling treats ALL day long!

Meet you at the market,Cyndi Kramer, Market Master

The Essence of Emmet historical collaborative will host an-other of its twice-yearly historical programs on a topic of local intrigue, on Wednesday, Sept. 30, at the Petoskey Fairgrounds from 6-8 p.m.

“Emmet Underground: The Prohibition Era Up North” is the topic for this free program that is open to the public at the Community Building at the Fairgrounds. Time is 6 to 8 p.m. No reservations are required and refreshments will be served during an intermission. In addition to the program, the Second Annual Essence of Emmet History Awards will be presented to individuals, businesses and organizations in Emmet County who are doing great work preserving and promoting local history.

“Emmet Underground” program speakers will be Richard Wiles and Chris Struble.

Wiles (MA/Ed.S) is a retired Petoskey High School American history and reading development instructor. He was also a former graduate research class instructor for Spring Arbor University. Since 2008, Wiles has written “White Papers” for the Petoskey Public Library concerning various historical topics of the Little Traverse Bay – “Tip of the Mitt” region of north-ern Michigan. He has tried to debunk the many myths that accompany local history by becoming a “history detective.” He owns Michigan North Research. Wiles’ research on Clubs Manitou (1929) and Ponytail (1962) has allowed him to un-cover the truth behind the myths of these two establishments.

Struble is the President of the Michigan Hemingway Society and has served on its Board of Directors for 14 years. He owns Petoskey Yesterday, an historic tour company specializing in turn of the century and Hemingway tours. Struble is also on the Board of Directors of the Robert Emmet Society and has extensive historical knowledge about Prohibition-era Petoskey. Struble is also the co-owner of Arlington Jewelers in Petoskey.

During an intermission in the program, refreshments related to the Prohibition era will be served. In addition, Phil Porter, Director of Mackinac State Historic Parks and Essence of Em-met member, will present the group’s annual History Awards. Several individuals and organizations will be recognized for their commitment to historic preservation in Emmet County.

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 Light-house Keepers Association, Harbor Springs Area Historical Society, Headlands International Dark Sky Park, Inland Water Route Historical Society, Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Little Traverse Historical Society, Mackinac State Historic Parks, Mackinaw Area Historical Society and Pellston Historical Society.

“Basically, a business could pay the city what it would cost to build those required parking spaces,” Richards said. “The city knew from a recent purchase of land off Spring Street (at the base of the boardwalk) how much property cost. Our engineers told us how much it would cost to pave and prepare a parking lot and we divided by the number of spaces to come up with a per parking space cost of $15,000.”

A very recent example of this parking challenge came this summer when the restau-rant Mustang Wendy’s moved from its State Street location to a larger, formerly retail space, on Bay Street, Richards said. The change, under the code, would have required the restaurant to come up with 12 new spaces. Richards said the Planning Commission reduced that requirement by 50-percent.

So, the restaurant could have paid the city $90,000 “in lieu” of creating parking (which by the way, there is a large public parking lot across the street from the restaurant). Richards said the city even looked into having that payment spread out over time.

The restaurant ended up leasing spaces on Third Street. Which, Richards pointed out, is a kind of shell game. They meet the parking require-ments, but no new parking is

required and nobody really knows where the parking is that actually “goes with” the restaurant.

In the end, Richards said, who should pay for the park-ing? How does the city free up parking spaces during peak demand?

And then city manager did somewhat of the unthinkable in change-resistant Harbor Springs. He suggested some sort of metered parking. New technologies would eliminate the need for meters up and down the street. Instead there could be one or two “kiosks” that could take credit cards, or cell phone technology could be utilized. Rates could be adjusted weekly or even daily to reflect supply and demand.

“Should the person actu-ally using the parking pay for it?” Richards asked. If the city builds parking lots, enforces parking times, then more than just businesses are paying for it. All city taxpayers are pay-ing for it.

Much discussion followed about the need for more park-ing, how to enforce it, and alternatives to the high “in lieu of parking” fees.

What was unique in the dis-cussion was the recognition that new ventures are hap-pening in Harbor Springs that could bring positive growth, could necessitate new think-ing on parking. The plans for a new movie theater, Hotel Janelle, and a number of new

restaurants in town-- includ-ing the redevelopment of the former Juilleret’s building-- all could mean more business.

“I hope you are all success-ful,” councilman Al Dika said. “It’s getting to be a lot more fun downtown.

“And I don’t think it is fair that only the new businesses are being forced to pay for new parking,” he said. “Some-body has to pay for it and I think it should be spread out over every business.”

While there was plenty of resistance to Richards’ me-tered parking option, toward the end of the meeting long-time Planning Commission members Fred Walstrom and Jeff Ford expressed support of some creative solution along those lines.

“Somebody has to pay for parking. I have no problem going to Petoskey and pay-ing 75-cents to park for a few hours,” Ford said. “I think most people coming here would be okay with it. We need to at least look into the options.”

Walstrom concurred and said there is change coming with the planned businesses and the parking will need to be addressed.

Laughing at the end, city manager Richards said of his presentation: “Well, I didn’t expect to get any applause.”

Mayor Pringle Pfeifer said “it raised a lot of food for thought.”

-CONTINUED from page 1.

Discussion initiated on parking management options in downtown

affecting Michigan is quite something to behold. Now that state and federal dol-lars are available for trail development, we are seeing a dramatic conversion of old rail beds to multi-use, multi-mile trails,” said Anne Fleming, communications specialist with the Little Tra-verse Conservancy. “These recreational trails offer one layer of easy use opportunity that complements and inter-weaves with the more rugged layers of trails such as those maintained by the DNR, by conservancies, and by the North Country Trail.”

Fleming noted that with Little Traverse Conservancy’s increased effort to monitor trail use on preserves, they now estimate that more than 27,000 trail visits have oc-curred on just 30 of their pre-serves since last December.

“Northern Michigan is more attractive than ever for health-oriented people to live, from young families to retirees. One of the largest and most significantly positive changes that has occurred for our region in recent years is the creation and availability of trails,” she added.

Conservancy trails include more than 30 different natural communities and many of Michigan’s 355 bird species reside in or pass through these protected lands.

“Birding trails and water trails are also on the rise in our state,” Fleming said. “Current-ly, the Conservancy is work-ing with the Les Cheneaux community to help create the North Huron Birding Trail. Petoskey Audubon is seeking a similar trail for Charlevoix and Emmet counties. These trails become like wonderful

scavenger or discovery hunts for people, taking them to places they might otherwise not visit.”

The state’s proclimation for Trails Week includes a list of benefits that run from health and wellness, alternative transportation and recreation to supporting economies and perhaps most important of all, a positive quality of life. Fleming said she personally knows how deeply trails im-pact her own quality of life.

“Trails generate an outdoor oriented energy that attracts people and families of all ages. A trail is so inviting, lying there welcoming us, luring us: ‘come outside and get into the wild for a bit. Breathe deeply of this clean northern Michi-gan air oxygenated by all of these wonderful trees. Walk beside the water, close your eyes, and listen.’”

“crowdfunding” campaign through Michigan-based crowdfunding platform, Patronicity. If the campaign reaches its goal of $38,150 by October 23, it will win a matching grant from the MEDC’s Public Spaces Com-munity Places program. As it stands, donations are cur-rently being matched $1 to $1.

The Ultimate Trailhead will transform the historic limestone cottage (which is conveniently situated at the intersection of the Little Tra-verse Wheelway and North Western State Trail) into an education/activities center. It will include everything

from maps to information on health, safety and wellness, as well as environmental/ecological education. The trailhead will serve as a gath-ering place for youth and family programming.

“This new location for the Top of Michigan Trails Coun-cil affords the best opportu-nity to create the Ultimate Trailhead and the place from which a ‘Trails Chamber of Commerce’ can plan, execute and evaluate programs that help communities become ‘trail towns’ and realize the greatest economic impact of the trails,” Winegard said.

He also noted that the his-

toric grounds are perfect for hosting events, and that the purchase will include almost an acre of green space, in ad-dition to the building itself.

“Over the past 30 years our communities in Northern Michigan have built hun-dreds of miles of trails,” said Steve Biggs, the President of the board of TOMTC. “Now it is time for those trails to build our communities - the Ultimate Trailhead will make that happen.”

A Point-to-Point Adventure on Little Traverse BayA heartfelt thanks goes out to the 112 volunteers and 28 local sponsors who gave their time and energy, services and support to make the Little Traverse Half Marathon and 10K Run/Walk happen. Without you, there would be no race!

Ask anybody who was on the course between the start line in Bay Harbor and the finish line in Harbor Springs – “Didn’t the weather put a damper on the race?” That would be a resounding, “Heck No!” All the volunteers had a smile on their face even while standing in the wind and rain. It surely was their good spirits—and the positive energy and appreciation of the racers—that brought out the sun at the finish line. We thank you all for making it a great experience on Little Traverse Bay last Saturday.

Molly and Josh Baker and The Outfitter Crew

In ApprecIAtIon

people were able to enjoy themselves at the finish line.”

In terms of logistics, Baker said all the pieces of the half marathon and 10k run/walk lined up, making for a very smooth event.

“The race has now earned a reputation for being really well organized, with great vol-unteer support and a unique, fun course. The idyllic finish area is the icing on the cake,” she added.

All told, 352 racers from 13 states and Ontario, ages 10-72, participated in the half marathon or 10k.

Petoskey resident, Sarah Shuman, was one of the 352.

“It was such a thrill to be able to run my first half marathon right here at home around our beautiful Little Traverse Bay,” she said. “My husband, David (an avid runner), ran the entire race with me, and at one point as the sun was shining through the clouds we commented on how blessed we are to live here-- this course was a perfect reminder of just how lucky we are. Kudos to Josh and Molly Baker; this race was such a great experience. I will

be back!”Veteran half marathoner,

Leslie Cicalo of Goodrich, Michigan, said the Little Tra-verse race is in a category of its own.

“This was my eighth half marathon, but it was by far the most beautiful course I have ever run. The best part was being out of town with seven friends and enjoying the scenery. This was our first time in this race, but it won’t be our last,” she said.

“It was a race to remember,” Baker said. “From the time the racers got on the bus, in

the dark, (and some wearing trash bags to ward off the wind and rain) to when they crossed the finish line, run-ners were really happy and pumped to be here, and very appreciative. The weather made for a more satisfying race-- runners felt like they accomplished more, and the sunshine at the finish line was a great bonus. Families and friends hung out and enjoyed themselves there, with lots of folks heading over to the water/beach. The energy was a great. Everybody was happy and having fun-- and that’s all

we can ask for at any event.”Results were as follows: Half Marathon - Female, overall top threeErica Dancik, Ann Arbor (MI), 1:37:09Sarah Furman, Indian River, 1:42:32Rina Hayashi, Philadelphia (PA), 1:42:15Half Marathon - Male, overall top threeMike Waterman, Marcellus (MI), 1:26:04Jack Deegan, Harbor Springs, 1:27:53Shane Angore, West Bloom-field (MI), 1:29:07

In the KItchen

Now that apple season has ar-rived, I couldn’t think of a better pairing than a thick cut

sautéed pork chop with apples. There’s nothing like homemade applesauce to compliment a pork chop but I wanted to take it to another level. Therefore…

Chutney. Homemade chutney is like applesauce on steroids. You can combine some amazing flavors that accentuate the flavor of pork. Adding in ginger and red pepper gives it some zest. The brandy adds some depth. The dried cherries add some extra tang. The cumin, orange zest, scallions and cinnamon bring it all together. There’s no sugar in this recipe. I was going for the deeper more savory flavors.

Actually apples are not native to India. Authentic Indian chutney is made with raw fruits. It was when Great Brittan colonized southern Asia that chutney became that savory cooked fruit condiment we are familiar with today.

I used Friske’s Orchard Heirloom Duchess Apple. Other great varieties would be Honeycrisp and Granny Smith. The amount of apples you need to purchase depends on the size of the apple. The Duchess Apple I used is quite small. So if you’re using a larger apple, you may not need a full 2 pounds.

Chutney is such a versatile condiment. It pairs beautifully with chicken, lamb, brats, cheese trays, and sandwiches. Once prepared the chutney is good for a week under refrigeration. You can also freeze the chutney

Pork today is much different from yester years. Today’s pork is much leaner, nutritious and great tasting. To get the peak of flavor from the pork we are now able to cook it to a lower temperature, maintaining its flavor and mois-ture. A little pink in the center is OK. This recipe uses sautéing as the cooking technique but you could also grill them. Opposed to using the traditional method of sautéing the pork for so many minutes on each side, I continue to flip the chop every minute. It makes the most

amazing sear on the outside while maintaining the moistness on the inside. Leave the pork chops out for an hour to get them to room temperature. The pork will cook more evenly that way. As there is so much flavor in the chutney, I only season the chop with pepper. Salt has a tendency to dry out pork so it is finished at the end with salt.

Local Apple & Dried Cherry Chutney2 lbs. Apples (6 cups chopped apple): Duchess, Honeycrisp or Granny Smith, peel, core and dice in to 1 inch chunks

1 cup Dried Local Cherries5 Scallions (3/4 cup)3 tablespoons Brandy1 teaspoon Orange Zest, chopped1 teaspoon Ground Ginger½ teaspoon Cumin¼ teaspoon Cinnamon1/8 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes*If you like a little more heat, make it ¼ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes

In a medium size sauce pan, combine all the ingredients. Cook on medium low, stirring fre-quently, for 30 minutes. The chutney is finished

when all the apples have broken down. Serve warm or at room temperature. Can be prepared ahead of time and reheated.

Thick Cut Pork Chops withLocal Apple & Dried Cherry Chutney

THICK CUT SEARED PORK CHOPS2 – 1 ½ inch Pork Chops, approximately 2 poundsCanola OilFresh Ground PepperSea Salt

Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat for 10 minutes. Pat chops dry with paper towel and season with fresh ground pepper.

Add a thin layer of Canola or Vegetable oil to the skillet. Add pork chops and flip after one minute. Continue flipping every minute for a total of seven minutes. I highly recommend you use a screen over the pan to avoid splatter. Remove chops and season lightly with sea salt. Place cooked chops on a plate to rest for 10-15 minutes.

The pork had an internal temperature of 115 degrees when I pulled them and increased to 135 degrees after they rested. With this timing, the chops were cooked medium. If you like a little pink in your pork, cook for 6 minutes (flipping every minute).

Serve with the Apple & Cherry Chutney. Drizzle accumu-lated juices from the meat over the chops before serving.

Big eaters might like a whole chop or the meat could be cut from the bone and serve up to four people.

Varsity FootballThe Harbor Springs Rams football team had an explosive 21 point first quarter and used that as a springboard to score a 38 – 0 victory in the conference opener versus Suttons Bay, Friday, Sept. 18 at Ottawa Stadium.

On the opening possession the Rams moved the ball directly down the field on some great tough running by Kern Reeves, Jason Wixson and Chris Kowalski. After a good kick return the Rams started a 10 play – 51 yard drive that featured the talents of the trio backfield. The rushing attack proved to be potent and generated three first downs on 10 carries. Kern Reeves capped the drive with a 12 yard scamper over the right side of the line for the first TD of the night. Quarterback/kicker Mitch Hoffman added the extra point kick and the Rams went ahead of the Norsemen, HS 7 – SB 0.

The Rams Defense proved to be too much for the visitors and provided a suffocating attack all evening. The Norsemen’s first possession was ended on a fourth and short play where the defensive line and linebackers stuffed the attack in the hole and forced Suttons Bay to turn the ball over on downs.

The Rams second possession began on their own 44 yard line. While the first drive saw the wings getting the most touches, this drive featured Chris Kowalski. Needing only 5 rushes to score, Kowalski rushed for 35 of the yards and scored on a nice 18 yard trap. Hoffman’s kick was good for the extra point. HS 14 – SB 0.

Suttons Bay tried to air it out on their second drive but de-fensive ends Jason Wixson and Noah Erxleben made it very difficult for the Norsemen. After forcing a 3rd and 14 situa-tion, the QB dropped back on the third play and found himself under great duress in his own end zone. Narrowly evading a safety, the QB made a poor decision to force the ball up field. Kowalski was waiting and capitalized on his opportunity by scoring a pick six interception (his second pick six in two weeks) from 17 yards out. Hoffman was accurate on the kick again. HS 21 – SB 0.

The defense was relentless the rest of the first half forcing two three and outs. The Rams stumbled a bit on the next two possessions. While the rushing attack was still effective, one drive ended after a fumble and another was finished with an interception.

After a fumble recovery by Noah Erxleben, the Rams went on a march with time running out in the half. Coach Walker dialed up Wixson’s number behind a tackle trap play blocked by standout tackle, Jacob Lechner, and was pleased with the result as Wixson shot downfield for 36 yards into Norsemen territory. The Rams advanced the ball to the 9 yard line but with 20 seconds left in the half the Rams needed to make a decision. On fourth down Coach Walker sent the Field Goal unit out. Mitch Hoffman was good again for the distance scor-ing the 26 yard FG. At he half the score was Harbor Springs 24 – Suttons Bay 0.

Starting the second half, the defense was stout again, forcing Suttons Bay to punt. The Rams needed only 5 plays to move the ball 44 yards to score again. Jason

Wixson provided the points by running hard over the left side for 13 yds. to find the end zone. The Rams extended the score on a good Extra Point Kick to HS 31 – SB 0.

Again, the defense was tough. Suttons Bay was forced into a 3 and out situation and decided to punt trying to gain field position. It was futile. The Rams only needed one play to score their last points of the night as Kern Reeves took it to the house on a 70 yard sprint. Hoffman was focused and finished perfect on the night in the kicking department as the Rams forced the score to HS 38 – SB 0.

Coach Walker’s Commented: “I feel the team played very well tonight on Defense. Outstanding. It was a great team effort. Suttons Bay only had about 100 yards on the ground and 75 of those yards were on two plays. We only gave up two passes for a total of 3 yards, that’s tough, very nice football. All the credit goes to our players for knowing and executing their assignments. I believe we are on the right track and would like to see some of the finer points improved, we will go over those on film and try to improve for next week’s game versus Kalkaska.”

“Offensively we played well for the third week in a row. All of our backs are still improving on their vision, balance and acceleration. They are beginning to see the angles a little better and that should serve them well in the future. I also thought our Quarterbacks Hoffman and Schwark are still improving. We are seeing the right things and are starting to make better decisions when we throw it down field. I think that will get better and be a bigger part of our Offense as we move forward.”

“As for the Offensive Line I think they are as good as any that I’ve had here in the last 5 years. I believe they are the best physically and mentally in the conference. Leaders like Jacob Lechner, Michael Erxleben, Kenji Chang and Jack Carter (all Seniors) are a huge benefit for this squad. Jr. Skip Schorfhaar is playing his third year on varsity as a starter and is rock solid.

Juniors Noah Erxleben and Cam Kennard are fast learners and are smart and focused. This group is opening up some great lanes for our RBs and they should all be commended. They worked hard all off-season in the weight room and it is certainly showing up on the field. They are very physical and they have a real presence on the gridiron that every team recognizes and must contend with.”

“We have a tough test next week versus a good Kalkaska team as we start a three game road swing through the conference. We really want this to be our best game of the year and we know we haven’t played our best one yet. I hope people will travel and support our Rams. It’s going to be exciting to get prepped in practice this week and we can’t wait to play them.”

Some Stats: As a Team, the Rams rushed for 371 yards on only 34 carries. A head turning 10.91 yds/carry average!Wixson, 136 yds, 14 carries, 1 TD; Reeves, 129 yds, 13 carries, 2 TDs; Kowalski, 55 yds, 5 carries, 1 TD, 1 INT / TD; Williams, 51 yds, 2 carries; Hoffman, 5/5 Extra Points, 1/1 FG; Schwark, 3/7 passing for 37 yards.

Cross Country Harbor Springs Cross Country teams continue to dominate

the competition, adding another two first place finishes for both boys and girls last week.

Traditions are part of the reason these teams remain some of the most successful in Harbor Springs athletics, and last Wednesday, Harbor topped the podium in the annual co-ed race in Boyne-- a race that includes a “marriage” the day before for the team, officiated by coach Mike Kloss, with vows that promise to run as fast as possible for their partners.

“When the kids are in a relay they seem to step up their competition level, knowing someone is counting directly on them,” said coach Emily Kloss. “usually, the girls work together as a team and the boys work together as a team, but with this format, it makes a smaller, tighter group of a boy/girl combi-nation. Harbor placed our top nine in the top 20 for scoring in the large school division.”

Kloss added that the race is tough; each runner races 1.5 miles, and then gets a short break (depending on how fast their teammate is) and then race another 1.5 miles. The race

totals six miles, with both runners combined.“Sore muscles seem to occur from this type of race, but the

fun they have outweighs it,” she said.Results were as follows: Kloss/E. Fleming, first place, 35:41;

second place, Hunt/Jensen-Philbrick, 36:08; fourth place, Alessi/Kihnke, 37:04; fifth place, Robinson/Gretzinger, 37:13; 11th place, Mills/Wagner, 38:50; Young/Wagner, 13th place, 39:04; Sydow/Cleven, 16th place, 39:49; Bassett/Johanson, 18th place, 39:58; Blancato/C. Fleming, 19th place, 40:20; Wells/Bosley, 23rd place, 41:19; Howard/Worm, 32nd place, 42:29; Tippett/Hogan, 37th place, 43:14; Sampson/Young, 51st place, 45:24; Keiser/Hoffman, 72nd place, 50:42.

“Our middle school had their second race of the season, in the 12 school meet, and finished a close second to Boyne City, 51-55. Top 10 middle schoolers medaled in this race, and Harbor had three girls and boys-- impressive for a 176 runner race,” Kloss said.

Middle school results for the 1.5 mile course were as follows: Cole Hoffman took second with a 8:40; Austin Smar, fourth, 9:13; Robbie Gillette, ninth place, 9:29.2; Liam Ransford, 25th place, 10:49.2; Ethan Schumaker, 28th place, 10:58.3; Ian Davis, 31st place, 11:01.3; Max Bosley, 33rd place, 11:08; Chad Hogan, 38th place, 11:21.9; Derek Hebner, 39th place, 11:39; Luke Baker, 44th place; 12:07; Matt Whitfield, 46th place, 12:14; Jack Wieman, 50th place, 12:38; John Weiman, 51st place, 12:39; Conner Cleven, 52nd place, 12:44.

Middle School girls results: Meaghan Wells, third place; 10:04; Emma Hayhurst, fifth place, 10:11; <alayla Gillette, ninth place, 10:46; Jordan Drayer, 15th place, 11:10.2; Ella Deegan, 16th place, 11:13.2; Jennifer Kurburski, 43rd place, 13:25.

On Saturday, the teams headed to the House on the Hill Invi-tiational in Ellsworth.

“This race is a true cross country race,” Kloss said, adding, “there are hills, more hills, and mud.”

“Our competition wasn’t what it has been in the past year, with a couple schools going down to the Michigan State University Invite the day before, but that didn’t matter. The kids raced and the top three boys got personal bests of all time on tough course.”

Kloss said both girls and boys ran approximately 20-30 personal records for the year.

“Much of the competition came from within our own team,”

she said. “This team gets along great, but when it is racing time, racing is what they do...It doesn’t matter if it is their best friend or sister competing against them; they give it their all, and we can’t ask for more than that.”

In the B/C division, 10 boys and 10 girls medaled in the top 20. “Middle school also continued to do great, getting lots of med-

als,” Kloss said. “By the time middle school raced, (they had the last race of the day), the course had became a mud run, some losing shoes in the mud and a few wiping out.”

The Top seven high school girls for Harbor Springs included a 2-7 place sweep. Ellie Fleming grabbed second place time of 21:07; Jillie Gretzinger was literally only a step behind with a third place time of 21:07.4; Alexa Jensen-Philbrick, fourth place; 21:33.6; Alyssa Kihnke, fifth place, 21:35.8; Hannah Wagner, sixth place, 22:08.9; Emma Wagner, seventh place, 22:14.4; Lauren Johanson, 11th place, 22:35; Emily Bosley, 12th place, 22:52.4; Katie Cleven, 13th place, 22.57.9; Claire Fleming, 14th place, 23.03.6; Chloe Hogan, 22nd place, 24:21.6; Jessica Worm, 25th place; 24:49.7; Andrea Young, 26th place, 25:28.5; Lydia Damoose, 30th place, 26:11.4; Marion Hoffman, 37th place; 28:12.4.

High School boys finished with a one, two, three punch, in-cluding first place Jeremy Kloss, 17:07; second place, Zach Hunt, 17:20.5; third place, Kurtis Alessi, 17:49.5; Vlad Robinson followed in sixth place with an 18:34; Max Sydow, seventh place, 18:38.7; Jacob Young, 10th place, 18:46.1; Noah Bassett, 11th place, 18:51; Jackson Wells, 12th place, 18:58.3; Raymo Blancato, 14th place with a 19:12.7; Zach Mills, 16th place, 19:59.8; Ben Sampson, 26th place, 21:24; Brandon Howard, 28th place, 21:28; Ethan Tippett, 31st place, 21:44.2; Peter Keiser, 41st place, 24.33.6; Josiah Tippett, 45th place, 27.59.1.

The middle school team also fared well in the hills and mud. Cole Hoffman led the younger Rams with a second place finish in the shorter (1.9 mile) middle school course with a strong 11.12 minutes. Austin Smar, third place, 11.38; Meaghan Wells was the first Harbor girl across the line (boys and girls run together in middle school races) with a time of 12.24; Ella Deegan, 13.57; Max Bosley, 14.02; Liam Ransford, 14.08; Ian Davis; 14.09; Jordan Drayer, 14.14; Derek Hebner, 14.14; Chad Hogan, 15.22; Luke Baker, 15:22; Conner Clevan,15.28; Jack Wieman, 16.17; Jennifer

Varsity VolleyballThe Harbor Springs varsity volleyball team topped Charlevoix on Thursday, Sept. 17. Harbor Springs won three games 25-21, 25-12, 25-23. Libby Garver had seven blocks and six kills. Mi-kayla Dickinson had six kills. Haley Rushing had nine assists.

In the Petoskey tournament held Sept. 12, results were Game one, Harbor vs Cheboygan (Harbor scores first) 25-23,23-25;

Harbor vs Pellston 23-25, 21-25; Harbor vs Petoskey 7-25, 16-25; Onaway 20-25, 23-25. Coach Dave Thom commented: “It was a rough day to be sure, lots of good competition.”

Middle School FootballLast week the Orange traveled again to East Jordan for another battle with the Devils. It was a day of wonder for the team who felt confident, but knew there were some questions to be answered after a scrimmage against the same team one week prior. One thing for sure, the team we ran into down there was not the same team we scrimmaged.

On the first play from scrimmage, Dean Cameron split the blocks of Joshua Jordan and Rigel Snively and hit the jets as he bolted 65 yards to the end zone. It looked like an easy day ahead for the Orange Crush but it didn’t turn out to be exactly that. The Red Devils took the following kick off and marched down the field to score but missed the extra point attempt which left the score separated by a duce. The Rams couldn’t move the ball well after getting it back and there were exchanges from both sides that stalled and at the half, it was Harbor 8-6 in the drivers seat.

The second half saw some improvement for the Rams as they were able to stuff the E.J. offense and field position was definitely in the favor of the visitors from the north shore of Little Traverse Bay. But the ball handling of Connor Williams, who juked his way down the field to cross the chalk in the second half was a back breaker for the host team and Ethen Fedynek iced the cake scoring the conversion points which put the Rams ahead for good. Other big plays included a rip away interception by Jamie Janicki and David Harrell put up the no vacancy sign when the Red tried to turn the corner on his side of the field. Maybe the inspirational effort was during the second half kick off when the unrelenting Owen Potter finished off a would-be side line scurry from the E.J. ball car-rier. In the end, the Orange dominated the second half to bring home a 16-6 victory.

It’s Cheboygan this week and the following will see Charlevoix come to Ottawa Stadium for a match up between the Rayders and the Rams. That game will be on the 29th and start at 5:00 p.m. It should be a good one! Rampage Rams !!

Notice of West Traverse Township Zoning Ordinance Amendment

An amendment to the West Traverse Township Zoning Ordinance has been adopted by the Township Board of Trustees and will become effective 8 days following publication.

A summary of the amendment is as follows:

The addition of Section 402:18 which regulates the erection of fences and freestanding walls in residential zoning districts (R-1, R-1-A, and R-2). This amendment specifies the height and “openness factor” (percentage of opacity) for the portion of fences and walls that exceed specified heights in each yard area (side, rear and front yard). This amendment requires a minimum setback from the front lot line and requires the fence not obstruct sight distances or present hazards to traffic and pedestrians and nor does it allow the gates to project into the right of way, or off the property. The finished side of all fences shall face neighboring properties. The Planning Commission may allow exemptions from these criteria following written notification of neighboring property owners.

Section 602 (Definition Section) to include definitions of the terms “Fenc-es”, “Openness Factor”, and “Wall”.

Section 701:2 to allow complying fences and walls to be constructed with-out a zoning permit.

A complete copy of this amendment is available for review at the West Traverse Township Office, located on 8001 S. M119 between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm Monday-Friday, by calling 231-526-7361, and on the Township website at www.westtraversetownship.com.

Business notes

McLaren Northern Michigan announced that Neurologist Shafer Z. Kurshuk, M.D., has joined the medical staff in Petoskey.

Kurshuk comes to McLaren Northern Michigan from Indiana University School of Medicine, where she received her medical degree as well as completed her Residency in Adult Neurology.

When looking for a loca-tion to practice, Petoskey was Kurshuk’s top choice. After visiting the area for several years, Kurshuk and her hus-band, Alexander Kurshuk, DDS, MSD, an Orthodontist, wanted to make Petoskey home. Kurshuk also has a 20 month old daughter and a dog the family rescued while living in Indiana. “Petoskey is a won-derful community, filled with charm, history, and abundant natural beauty,” said Kurshuk. “My family is fortunate to live in a small town that provides the community with a strong health care system, as well as excellent quality of life. As a physician, working with exceptional Colleagues and providing the best quality care to one’s patients is key. I’m excited to be part of the McLaren Northern Michigan team.”

Kurshuk will begin see-ing patients on Wednesday September 23. She has a special interest in Headache Medicine, as well as in a mul-tidisciplinary approach to the management of neurological diseases. “Practicing Neurol-ogy provides a unique op-portunity to be in a fascinating and quickly advancing field of Medicine, and allows me to spend time with and get to know my patients as we determine the best treatment for each individual based on scientific evidence and pa-tient preferences.”

For more information, contact McLaren Northern Michigan at (800) 248-6777.

Neurologist joins medical staff

BOYNE Golf – home to 11 premier golf courses span-ning three resorts in the scenic northwest corner of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula – announces Bay Harbor Golf Club (The Links / The Quarry nines) and The Heather and Arthur Hills courses at Boyne Highlands Resort have achieved 2015-16 “Best In State” recognition from Golf Digest.

With approximately 850 courses in the golf-rich Wol-verine State, their rank among Michigan’s best 25 courses places them in the top 3%, joining esteemed company like legendary private clubs

Boyne golf courses recognized by Golf Digest

Oakland Hills C.C. and Crystal Downs C.C. Bay Harbor’s The Links / The Quarry 18-hole combination is also rated among the U.S.’s “100 Great-est Public Courses” by the publication.

Golf Digest panelists play and score courses based on seven criteria: shot values (receives double the weight of other categories), resistance to scoring, design variety, memorability, aesthetics, conditioning and ambience.

“It’s an honor to have three of our courses identified for excellence by a nationally-respected authority like Golf Digest,” says Bernie Fried-rich, Boyne Resorts’ senior vice president of golf and resort sales. “We’re proud that BOYNE Golf is the standard-bearer for the quintessential northern Michigan golf ex-perience.”

The Links at Bay Harbor Golf Club is reminiscent of Ireland’s famous seaside courses. Miles of Lake Michi-gan shoreline form a back-drop of incomparable beauty, with undulating fairways and slick putting surfaces framed by scrub-covered dunes.

The Quarry, its sister nine, is widely heralded as one of the world’s most unlikely locations for golf as it winds through an immense, aban-doned shale quarry. Impres-sive gorges surrounded by stone cliffs, natural ponds and a gentle waterfall are hallmarks.

Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., The Heather was the first BOYNE Golf course and is widely credited with start-ing northern Michigan’s golf course construction boom. Set to celebrate its 50th anni-versary in 2016, The Heather is consistently recognized as one of the friendliest layouts for women and senior golfers.

The Arthur Hills course bears all the markings of its namesake designer. Wide, bunker-dotted fairways and fascinating green complexes create a deceptively challeng-ing track. The approach to the 11th hole begins a three-hole ascent that culminates with a magnificent view from the 13th tee, one of the highest points in the region.

Beyond golf, BOYNE’s unique on-property ameni-ties include award-winning spas, waterfront dining, sandy beaches, Avalanche Bay – Michigan’s largest indoor wa-terpark and adventure sport venues. They are supported by historic, lakeside resort towns Charlevoix, Harbor Springs and Petoskey all a short drive from Mackinac Island. Following in Heming-way’s footsteps, taking in the famous northern Michigan sunsets, enjoying the casino and exploring acclaimed mi-crobreweries like Petoskey Brewing mean golf isn’t the only game in town.

Each year thousands of dollars are spent in the Downtown shops, and women come back year after year with rave reviews of the event. Several years ago, a scrambler called this the “best girlfriend day ever” and it has become a loyal tagline for the event,” said Downtown Pro-motions Coordinator, Kate Manthei.

No EscapeI know, it is hard to believe that a Johnny Depp movie opened this week and I didn’t see it but it is a rare movie that my husband wants to see with me and so I am wait-ing to see Black Mass with him this week. I went to No Escape instead, not expecting too much, but it really was a very intense, gripping movie.

When Jack Dwyer’s company fails, he takes a job with a large corporation that relocates him and his family to a country (they never say what one) in Southeast Asia. When they get there, it is eerily quiet and they can’t seem to make contact with anyone out of the country. Talk about bad timing, they have arrived just as a coup is about to begin and they need to get to the U.S. Embassy in order to be safe. Trying to do that through a bloodthirsty rebel-lion isn’t easy.

Owen Wilson is surprisingly effective as Dwyer and Lake Bell, Sterling Jerins and Claire Geare are believable as his wife and daughters. It is Pierce Brosnan as a mysterious, blowsy stranger who assists them to safety who leaves the strongest impression. The major impression is that he is chewing scenery left and right, but I still found his character to be entertaining and engaging. Comparing his rough hewn Hammond to his James Bond or even Remington Steele is almost too difficult to contemplate.

There is a lot of action, intense and sometimes bloody; this is a true white knuckler. There is a rape (attempted) scene, other than that there was no sex or nudity but that scene could be disturbing to some. I actually found several scenes a little more graphic than I prefer, but I am a little wimpy on that count.

Are there holes in the plot? Absolutely there are, but the plot is original and not badly acted. Very few action movies engage me to the point of nail biting. This one did.

This is rated R for the violence and for the language, but trust me, it isn’t a movie for children. The fact that there are children involved in the terror on the screen is more of a reason to leave the little ones at home.

The Mask You Live In: film examines America’s ‘boy crisis’, A free community screening of The Mask You Live In will be shown in the North Central Michigan College li-brary conference room at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, September 24.

The free screening is being hosted by the 100 Men Campaign which supports awareness and educational initiatives in an effort to help prevent violence against women and children. The Mask You Live In explores the confining stereotypes boys are exposed to as they become men. Through personal narra-tives and expert commentary, the film delves into the de-structive and often conflicting messages that boys are being subjected to on a daily basis; messages that favor dominance over empathy, physical strength

over compassion; violence over kindness and sex over love. For more information about the free community screening of The Mask You Live In, call the Women’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan, at (231) 347-0067 or visit wrcnm.org.

On the BookshelfBooks for Young Readers

by Katie Capaldi

Now that the school year is well underway, and we have officially transitioned into autumn, Between the Covers begins its entry back into the Harbor Springs schools. This week, we host visits from three, first grade classes, who will learn where the bookstore is, what we do, and how we care for new books. We start setting up times to come into the older elementary classrooms for book talks that align with the curriculum. And the largest project of all? School book fairs.

Last February was the first school book fair hosted by Between the Covers. For two days and evenings, we set up a mini bookstore in Harbor Springs Middle School and talked books with students, teachers and parents. But be-yond that, we issued a call to any individuals, businesses or organizations invested in the future readership of this town. We asked you to please consider what you might be able to give, so that every single middle school student could purchase a book. Your generosity enabled us to offer $10.00 in Book Fair Bucks to each sixth, seventh and eighth grader. Whether this meant that these young readers turned in their vouchers for single books, or they paired it with money brought from home, all students were given this unique and remarkable opportunity to select a book for themselves and to keep that book.

This is a mission and a purpose in which we believe above all others, and so we are calling on our customers, our family, our friends and the readers of this place to again decide what they might be able to contribute to our Book Fair Bucks program. We are working with the schools to continually innovate new ways in which to spread this wealth of books to students and classrooms so that we can be genuine and conscientious stewards of your generos-ity. For further information, or to make a donation (in any $10.00 increment - every bit helps!), please contact Between the Covers. Our heartfelt thanks in advance for all you do to make is possible for us to bring our new favorite books, like these, to the students of Harbor Springs:

The Astounding Broccoli Boy, by Frank Cottrell Boyce (ages 8 -12, Walden Pond Press, $16.99)Rory Rooney stands out to his classmates because of one thing. He is short . . . really short. But the day he awakes with his skin a greenish hue, and winds up in an experi-mental hospital, he begins to stand out for another reason: his new coloring might just mean Rory has found himself some super powers. What he decides to do with them, however, is another story entirely.

The Marvels, by Brian Selznick (ages 8 - 12, Scholastic, $32.99)Brian Selznick’s new work is cause for cele-bration! Instead of his expected interweaving of words and pictures, Selznick shakes it up a bit with this most recent story. The first half is told in pictures, the second half in words. It all adds up to my favorite book by Selznick yet, and one which tells the story of many generations of an eccentric, theatre family, and the connection they have to a shipwreck, a runaway boy, and a man who lives in a house made of memories.

The Curious Tale of the In-Between, by Lauren DeSte-fano (ages 9 - 12, Bloomsbury, $16.99)Pram Bellamy has been able to see ghosts, especially her best friend Felix, for as long as she can remember. For at least as long as she’s been an orphan. She’s never given it a terrible amount of thought. Instead, she has just learned to live a quiet and pleasant-enough existence in this world of the in-between. The day Pram meets Clarence, however, she promises to help him communicate with a loved one who has past, but manages to first get them tangled up in a mysterious adventure with a woman who has other uses for Pram in mind.

The Thing About Jellyfish, by Ali Benjamin (ages 9 - 12, Little, Brown, $17.00)For readers who loved Wonder, Out of My Mind, and Counting by 7s, your next favorite book has arrived! Suzy Swanson loves facts, especially scientific facts. But no matter how much research she finds, especially about the world’s most fascinating jellyfish, she can’t seem to find an answer that will bring her best friend, Franny, back from the accident that claimed her life one summer. Not only is Suzy struggling to justify her friend’s death, but she is ultimately trying to find a way to forgive herself for the thing she herself did. The thing she did to make Franny her friend again. The thing she did because she promised Franny she would. The thing she did because growing up is rough, classmates can be mean for no reason, and often the hardest part of it all is finding your voice in the world. The Thing About Jellyfish is full of heart, hope and honesty. It is one of my favorite reads of the year . . . for any age.
