There’s a growing movement of en-trepreneurs around Michigan-- and the country-- who are seeking more than just big financial gains. The idea of conscious capitalism is becoming a mainstream ideal for companies and workforces, spearheaded in part by the big picture thinkers of in-dustry’s new-est genera-tion.

To help foster these ideals in n o r t h e r n M i c h i g a n , the Petos-key Regional Chamber of Commerce is hosting a seminar, “Purpose Beyond Profit; How to Grow Your Business While Changing the World,” featuring Nathan Harvey of Thrive Consulting Group out of Traverse City. The event takes place on Tuesday, October 27 at 9-11 a.m.

“I heard Nathan speak this sum-mer at Boyne Highlands and his presentation truly inspired me,” said Carlin Smith, president of the Petoskey Regional Chamber of Com-merce. “I remember thinking that every business owner needs to hear this message,” Smith added.

Smith connected with Havey and asked him to be a part of the chamber’s annual Business Innova-tion Series sponsored by Citizens National Bank.

“Businesses around the world are doing great things to help fulfill needs and address causes globally and locally,” Smith said. “These businesses tend to see more success and have a happier workforce; we want to teach local business how to be a part of this,” he added.

We checked in with Nathan Havey to learn more about his business, what it means to be a conscious entrepreneur, and what folks can expect at the October 27 seminar.

Tell us a little about your business, Thrive Consulting. Why is this work meaningful to you?

According to an ongoing study by Gallup, 70% of the American workforce is “disengaged”: People are going through the motions, and are not giving their full effort, nor are they fulfilled in their jobs. Gal-lup estimates that this holding back economy costs the U.S. $450-$550 Billion in lost productivity annually. The human costs of this situation are difficult to measure.

Studies have found that the con-stant low-level stress that is typical in companies across the country plays a significant role in a host of medical conditions from high blood pressure to cancer. More people have heart attacks on Mondays than any other day of the week.

Thrive Consulting Group is part of a national movement to create a new business as usual that values people as much as profit. As companies move from disengaged to lit-up, watching the impact on people’s lives, the lives of their families, and the health of their communities is deeply fulfilling.

Beer Festival set for waterfront this Saturday, Oct. 10


Snowsports enthusiasts know the signs: temperatures are dropping and fall colors are popping, which means winter will soon be here. In northern Michigan, early October is the perfect time to gear up for the snow season. The annual Harbor Springs Ski Swap, taking place this year on Saturday, October 10 during the Nub’s Nob Open House, is an op-portunity for the whole family to get outfitted for the slopes at a fraction of normal costs.

The ski swap is a crucial fundraiser for the state championship winning Harbor Springs Ski Teams. Folks can get great deals on downhill skis, race skis, cross country skis, snowboards, boots, poles, bindings, goggles, hel-mets, clothing and mores.

“For many, ski racing might seem like an obscure high school sport, but in Michigan it is highly com-petitive. The Harbor Springs High School Ski Teams have won 14 State Championships, more than any other sport,” said Michael Esposito, ski booster president. “This success

Harbor Springs has made a name for itself as a com-munity of readers. Author events here are almost always sold out experiences, and books are honored as much as great art. So it makes sense to highlight a week-long celebration of authors happening in Traverse City Octo-ber 7-15. Bookmania is a product of the National Writers Series, an organization that has introduced northern Michigan to authors like Daniel Silva to Rita Mae Brown (and so many more).

For the next six days, six authors will appear on the National Writers Series stage:

• October 7 – Mardi Link with guest host Ron Jolly talking about The Drummond Girls

• October 8 – Vanessa Diffenbaugh with guest host Sarah Bearup-Neal talking about We Never Asked for Wings

• October 11 – Ben Sidran with guest host Jeff Haas talking about There Was a Fire: Music and the Ameri-can Dream

• October 13 – Bonnie Jo Campbell with guest host Thomas Lynch talking about Mothers, Tell Your Daughters

• October 14 – Paula McLain with guest host Benjamin Busch talking about Circling the Sun

• October 15 – Sarah Chayes with guest host Jack Se-gal talking about Thieves of State: Why Corruption Threatens Global Security

As always, these events will be far more than just a writer pitching their books. The National Writers Series is known for cultivating conversations, for making audi-ences feel equal parts entertained and inspired.

“What we do, in essence, is have a real conversation on stage,” said Doug Stanton, New York Times bestselling author and one of the founders of the NWS. Authors and moderators, usually a well-known journalist or other empathic publishing-related person, have in-depth discussions that go beyond the pages of a book.

“We use good listeners, people who allow the writer to talk about what they do as humans, as people who make art,” he said. “When I have interviewed authors on stage, I want audiences to feel like they are listening to a story that won’t ever appear in Esquire or Outside Magazine (both are publications that Stanton has often contributed to).”

Stanton has written features on everyone from the founder of Patagonia Clothing to George Clooney. He’s also one of the most well known and respected non-fiction military-related writers working today. His books include Horse Soldiers and In Harm’s Way. All of this is to say: the guy knows how to conduct a really great interview. And he makes sure all NWS productions are structured in a way that will bring out the personality and story each author has to share.

As one of the founders of the Traverse City Film Festival in 2005, Stanton knows firsthand what a well-conceived idea can do for a community.

“From the beginning, the film festival has been a thought-provoking, interesting experience. Early on, I knew we could do something like that with writers and books. I’ve always been so interested in humanity, in the power of story and how it can bring a community together,” he said.

That’s the heart and soul of the National Writers Series mission. While the organization normally brings authors

To the Editor:

We were not aware of the current plans for the deer at our Deer Park until we saw a number of bucks missing from the park. We called the city to inquire and learned of their plan. The bucks were “relinquished” to Storms End Whitetails, a breeder in Gaylord. The remaining deer, including the fawns, were also taken away this week. According to their plan, six new deer will replace our park deer. This process will continue annually to “maintain herd size”.

We adamantly oppose this “process”, as does everyone we have approached. We believe this is unacceptable utilization of our city park and resources. It creates a “breeding” facil-ity for deer on city property. Ask yourself is this necessary? Acceptable?

This plan defeats the contraception project started in 2012. Reality is the 5 does + 1 buck = 5 to 10 fawns a year, which ex-ceeds the carrying capacity suggested by the MDNR. To keep the herd number at 10, as suggested, many deer will have to be “relinquished” each year. “Relinquishing” appears to mean that the tame deer from our Deer Park which go to Storms End Whitetails will be hunted in an enclosed area.

For your information: ALL does did not get the contracep-tion vaccination in 2012 because several were too young. The city was to follow up with vaccinating them the following year. They did not. End result: Simple, fawns were born.

Do we, as a city, want to be instrumental with raising deer? Funding from the city General Fund could be better used in many different areas.

Yes, many love seeing the deer and even hand feeding them. However, is this proper stewardship of the animals? We are acclimating them to humans, hand feeding them, then relin-quishing them to canned/captive hunting businesses to be hunted. We don’t think this is positive P.R. for Harbor Springs.

Is it time to close the deer park? Is it the humane, acceptable decision? Should we use our city resources for more appropri-ate and humanitarian issues?

A petition to close the Deer Park in 2012 “never even made it to a motion at the city council table”. We don’t understand why a public petition was not addressed, but we think it is time to revisit this issue.

Respectfully, Judy and Curt Brock, Harbor Springs

City Deer Park: “Is this proper stewardship of the animals?”

To the Editor:

I was walking in town enjoying my view. I noticed a woman and her dog in the grassy curb. He left a deposit in the grass and they walked away. When I confronted her she laughed at me. When I said I wasn’t kidding she started rattling off some excuse why she didn’t have to pick it up. People, there are NO excuses. Pick up after your dogs. There is no one here that gets paid to do that. It doesn’t matter WHO you are. Pick up after your dog! You walk the dog it’s your present!

Pick up after your dogs

By Gail Kloss, Executive DirectorWomen’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan, Inc.

It is a rural community college with a strong nursing program that recently began offering viticulture classes. Sound familiar? No, it’s not our community college; it’s the southern Orgeon community college, the most recent site of a mass shooting by a male gunman.

Just last week community members gathered at North Central Michigan College for a screening and discussion of

Mass violence: a symptom of a bigger problemobservations

the film, The Mask You Live In. This documentary examines what some call the “boy crisis” in America. The film delves into the destructive and often conflicting messages boys are subjected to on a daily basis – messages that favor domi-nance over empathy, physical strength over compassion and violence over kindness. Many attendees felt overwhelmed by the information presented in the film and voiced deep concern about what they can do as individuals to help boys and young men stay true to themselves while negotiating America’s narrow definition of masculinity.

After the Columbine massa-cre more than 15 years ago, ac-tivist, author and filmmaker, Jackson Katz, said that in the wake of mass violence we are missing the mark:

“This is not a case of kids killing kids. This is boys kill-ing boys and boys killing girls. What these school shootings reveal is not a crisis in youth culture but a crisis in mas-culinity. The shootings are telling us something about how we are doing as a so-ciety. The fact that violence - whether of the spectacu-lar kind represented in the school shootings or the more routine murder, assault and

rape - is an overwhelmingly male phenomenon should indicate to us that gender is a vital factor, perhaps the vital factor. Looking at violence as gender-neutral has the effect of blinding us as we desperately search for clues about how to respond. The issue is not just violence in the media but the construc-tion of violent masculinity as a cultural norm. From rock and rap music and videos, Hollywood action films, pro-fessional and college sports, the culture produces a stream of images of violent, abusive men and promotes charac-teristics such as dominance, power, and control as means of establishing or maintaining manhood.”

All cultural influences are fair game for analysis, accord-ing to Katz. Yet, he urges us to look carefully at how our cul-ture defines manhood, how boys are socialized and how the pressure to stay in those social constructs constrains boys’ and men’s emotional and relational development, as well as their range of choic-es when faced with life crises.

Katz suggests we start by asking questions such as, “How does the cultural en-vironment, including media images, contribute to defini-

tions of manhood that are picked up by adolescents?” Or “How does repeated ex-posure to violent masculinity normalize and naturalize this violence?”

Joe Ehrmann, who spoke at our community college a few years ago has said that mass violence, domestic violence and sexual assault are not just problems but symptoms of the single biggest failure of our society, “we simply don’t do a good enough job of teaching boys how to be men.”

Experts agree there is no simple explanation to this epidemic of violence. They do agree that part of the answer is in how we define the related concepts of respect, power and masculinity.

After the Sandy Hook mas-sacre, Katz urged, “Don’t buy the manipulative argument that it’s somehow “anti-male” to focus on questions about manhood in the wake of these ongoing tragedies. Men com-mit the vast majority of vio-lence and almost all rampage killings. It’s long past time that we summoned the courage as a society to look this fact squarely in the eye and then do something about it.”

By Chris Krajewski, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Assault Program DirectorWomen’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan, Inc.

In 1987, National Domestic Violence Awareness Month was established to bring at-tention to this pervasive issue, support survivors and unify those who work with survi-vors. That was the same year I began as the Domestic Abuse and Sexual Assault Program Director for the Women’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan (WRCNM).

Over the past 28 years I have met thousands of women who have experienced the perils of domestic abuse. These strong and determined women be-lieved a life free from violence was possible, even faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges. They believed in a better, safer life as do the hundreds of survivors who are currently utilizing WRCNM services.

Since the late 80’s I’ve also seen changes in how individ-uals and our society view do-mestic abuse and survivors, however we still have work to do. A recent article in the Jour-nal of the American Board of Family Medicine reveals one out of five men admit to push-ing, slapping, hitting, choking or committing some other form of violence against his intimate partner. Although

is a tribute to the athletes, but there is tremendous support from the local ski areas, the coaching staff and the com-munity through the support received by events like the ski swap.”

For people looking to sell their current gear (all sizes from child to adult are wel-come), drop off will take place on Thursday and Friday, Oc-tober 8-9, noon-8 p.m. Those who put their equipment or clothing in the swap will earn 80-percent of its sale, while the other 20-percent goes completely to the support of the ski teams.

“The ski swaps are a win-win-win for everyone. They allow those with extra or ‘outgrown’ equipment a place

to sell it to a captive audi-ence with very little effort. They offer those looking for equipment an opportunity to find ski and snowboard equipment in good condition, and at a reasonable price. Of course, the swap generates funds needed to support the Harbor Springs ski teams,” Esposito noted.

In addition to individual items brought into the swap, participating vendors include Dan Webster’s Pro Shop, The Bahnhof, Boyne Country Sports, The Outfitter, and Head Winter Sports. Esposito noted that this year, the boost-ers worked hard to ensure a strong selection of “soft goods” like jackets, pants, bibs, and gloves.

“During the swap, we have boot fitters, ski shop techni-cians and the Harbor Springs coaches and athletes on hand to assist anyone looking for advise or help selecting equipment,” he added.

Cash and Credit are ac-cepted, and additional dona-tions to the Harbor Springs Ski Boosters are welcome.

The Harbor Springs Ski Swap takes place on Saturday, October 10, from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. in the cafeteria of Nub’s Nob. The ski hill is also hosting its annual open house during this time, which includes a host of fun preseason activi-ties like free chairlift rides and the barbeque.

Have you ever heard that a four leaf clover brings good luck, or that breaking a mirror means trouble for the next seven years? Did you know that saying “God bless you” when someone sneezes was a 7th century way to protect again bubonic plague, and that wishing on stars may make dreams come true? If so, then we suspect that Hal-loween is your favorite time of year, and if you’re only mildly afraid of the dark, then we have just the event for you!

The 7th annual Headlands Challenge at the Headlands International Dark Sky Park in Mackinaw City on Saturday, Oct. 24, 2015, will challenge your superstitions -- and your bravery.

This annual, FREE family-friendly event will take place Saturday evening, Oct. 24, from 8 to 10 p.m. under wax-ing gibbous moon, sending mysterious light into the

woods and setting imagina-tions on fire along a one-mile, candlelit walk to the trail’s end where participants will find seasonal storytelling and refreshments. Shoreline dark sky viewing will also be open to the public.

During the annual Head-lands Challenge, guests park at the entrance and walk the one-mile drive to the shore-line viewing; this year, the path will divert toward the Guest House and will include paved and gravel surfaces. The path is lit with luminaries; light refreshments are served; and staff provides games and storytelling, as well as guided tours of the night sky.

“We time our Headlands Challenge each year to coin-cide with the mood that sets in just prior to the Fall Cross Quarter Day,” said Headlands Program Director Mary Stew-art Adams. “Each season we reach a halfway point, and

traditions throughout the world hold that these seasonal ‘turning points’ are times in the yearly cycle when mis-chief is let loose just prior to dedication to what is sacred.

“Halloween, more tradi-tionally referred to as All Hallow’d Eve, falls on the eve of the Fall cross-quarter day known as All Saints Day. All Saints Day marks the begin-ning of the month-long obser-vances in many of the world’s traditions during which ceremonies and celebrations are held honoring loved ones who have died, so just before we slip into that season, it’s no wonder that there are tradi-tions of mischievousness that include pranks and ghosts and superstitions.”

This year during the Head-lands Challenge, we will take superstition as the theme, and guests are invited to share your favorites, either in costume or just for fun.

this statistic makes it sound as if change hasn’t occurred, it is a step forward to acknowledge the problem exists, to write about it and talk about it. I believe breaking the silence about the reality of domestic abuse is a positive change.

During the past year, the issue of domestic violence has ignited national con-versations on the need to further break the silence around intimate partner violence. High-profile cases have brought this issue – and conversations about it – out from behind closed doors and into our workplaces, homes and schools.

I believe ending domestic abuse is about changing what is acceptable behavior in our culture – stepping out of our

comfort zone to stand up and speak out against this type of violence. I believe both men and women are ready and willing to do so.

During October, and year round, talk about the impor-tant issue of domestic and dating violence. Let others know that you think domestic abuse is unacceptable. Fi-nally, keep believing we can put an end to this violence. Change takes time and al-though it may not happen in my lifetime, I do believe in generations to come we will change behaviors and attitudes that allow violence against women to persist. Stand up. Speak out!

For immediate help or in-formation, call the WRCNM’s 24-hour crisis line at (231) 347-0082 or (800) 275-1995.


Believe we can end domestic abuse

I remember hearing a quote from someone, I thought it was Betty White but I can’t track it down. The gist of the quote was that though we look different in the mirror as we age, in our minds we remain the same. I don’t think it would be possible to explain this phenomena to a young person, but it is defi-nitely true.

Years ago, when I worked for Bucky Brower at Heather Highlands, I used to tease him about how morbid he was because the first thing he always read in the paper was the obituaries. Well, in one of those “shut up until you know what you’re talk-ing about moments”, I now understand. Not only do I check the obituaries, I pay closer attention when the prayer list for the sick is read in church. In both cases, I find myself knowing too many of the names.

How many times have you heard someone say (usually as an excuse for not going

to a funeral, in my opinion) , I don’t want to remember them that way? I know that my mind doesn’t always work the same way as others, but I have found in my experience that when I remember some-one that I loved, I remember them at a happy time. I don’t remember my mother as a woman with a body ravaged by disease and age; I remem-ber her as the strong woman who was capable of kicking butt and taking names if necessary. I remember Jeff Bodzick driving around in his blue/green car and teasing and laughing. I remember my dad as the man I could go to for anything and he’d fix it, not the man in Bay Bluffs who was dependent on us for every-thing. I’m sure there is some deep psychological reason for this but I am happy it is the case. It is so much nicer to focus on the good times.

If I am fixating on death and dying this week, it is because I lost a classmate over the weekend and I write about

what is on my mind. Jolene Kosequat Ester passed away on Saturday. When talking with other classmates, the comments about Jolene all include her smile and her voice. I don’t recall her ever being one of the “mean girls” in school, she was always kind and friendly.

Jolene was a cheerleader (yes, Virginia, we had those mythical creatures back in the day) and I personally will always remember her like that, full of energy, always bouncing around, and with that ear to ear smile. In the past couple years she battled back from a serious car ac-cident and then fought the cancer that eventually took her from us. People com-plain about social media but I am personally very grateful to Facebook for allowing me to reconnect with people like Jolene; she didn’t come home often and it was nice to remi-nisce with her.

I’d like to offer condolences to Jolene’s mother, Madge,

and to Jan and Mark and to Jolene’s son, Shawn. I under-stand that there will be a me-morial service in the area at some point. Madge has been there for this community for years and I’m sure that she now needs all of our support.

A couple other random notes, if you will permit me. First, as a follow up to Judy Meyer’s previous request about her scissors, she has not gotten them back and she wanted me to mention that the borrower’s name is Deb-bie and that she drives a white van. I also know that many of you take your kiddiwinks trick or treating at Bay Bluffs each year. I’ve just heard that will not be allowed this year, so you may want to make other plans. I wish I could tell you why, that might merit a phone call, but it saddens me. I remember how much that night meant to the residents and the employees there. I used to take my dogs there in costume, too, but I don’t know if that is allowed now, either.

Congratulations to Mela-nie (Petrowski) and Clancy Irwin on the arrival of their daughter, Kaylee Jeanette, on October 1st. Grandparents are Sandy and Chris Petrowski of Harbor Springs and Ronald and Jerri Irwin of Levering, and of course the Great Aunt is yours truly.

Happy Birthday this week starting on October 8th to Shannon Wells and Kathryn Ivey and on October to Mol-lie Kelbel Carter and to Bob Snideman. Saturday, the 10th, we wish Happy Birth-day to Kathleen Christopher and Nancy Pichiotino and on Sunday to Andy Meyer and Addelyn Aquila. Monday, October 12th, Happy Birthday to Katie Morse, Nancy Du-ray, and especially to Sarah Petrowski Hartman and I promise not to mention that it is #40. We’ll end the week on Wednesday with birthday greetings to Holly Krasiejko, Phillip Marihugh and Dave Mead.

in on a year-round, monthly basis, Bookmania is an op-portunity to connect with Traverse City for longer than an evening. With authors who write everything from poetry to memoir to blockbuster fic-tion, this festival was designed to challenge, captivate, and above all, entertain, readers of all interests.

The week-long event ex-pands the NWS to different venues throughout Traverse City, and will include educa-tional experiences for area youth, a book swap, as well as six area restaurants offering discounts and serving as hosts for post-event get togethers. Participants can buy tickets for one event, all six, or any combination of evenings.

Stanton said it’s also be-come a great opportunity for fans of the NWS who don’t live in Traverse City to make a mini-vacation plan centered around books.

“We have people come from Detroit, Chicago, and all over the nation for our events. This is another chance to take ad-

vantage of what we do, during a beautiful time of the year,” he said.

One of the reasons writers are always eager to be part of a NWS event is the level of care they are shown. From promotion to hosting to book sales, Stanton said the orga-nization sets itself apart from a sea of large scale events by doing what folks in northern Michigan do best: be kind, genuinely interested, and engaged.

“I’ve travelled to a lot of huge book festivals that have 250 authors in a day. It’s tough to stand out in a situation like that, and it’s much more rare that an author gets to share their story in a meaningful way. We’ve created a differ-ent kind of experience, and in turn, authors open up and give so much more to the audience.”

North Central Michigan College invites the public to a special presentation and book-signing with best-selling author Emily St. John Mandel. The event will be held on Tuesday, November 3 from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Iron Horse Café on the Petoskey campus. This is a free event.

Ms. St. John Mandel will dis-cuss her book, Station Eleven, answer questions and sign books following the presenta-tion. Station Eleven is the story of the Traveling Symphony, a troupe of Shakespearean ac-tors and orchestral musicians traveling the shores of the Great Lakes in a post-apocalyptic Michigan, striving to maintain their humanity in the altered landscape of a world where 99% of the population has been wiped out by a flu pandemic. Station Eleven is set in a world turned upside down, but is ultimately an exploration of people surviving and remak-ing their lives by preserving the qualities that make us human: culture, art and the humanities. The book was on the New York Times best-seller list for eight weeks and was one of the best-reviewed books in 2014. It is the selection for the 2015-2016 Great Michigan Read.

At 3:30 p.m., after the author’s departure from campus, there will be a reception in the Library for attendees, with light food and beverages, and music pro-vided by Trillium, a string duo of violin and cello from the Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra.

At 5 p.m., the Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company will stage a performance of Sta-tion Eleven inspired by scenes from King Lear, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and other plays. The Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company, based in Grand Haven, is Michigan’s only year-

Travel film producer, Tom Sterling, will be at the Petos-key High School auditorium to present his show, “Bhu-tan, The Cloud Kingdom” on Thursday, October 8 at 7 p.m.

Bhutan broke away from Tibet in the 8th century and disappeared into the mists of her mountains. For eleven centuries it was closed to out-siders and nearly forgotten by the rest of the world. Her only visitors during that time were occasional monks escaping the societal pressures of more “civilized” countries.

Today, Bhutan is the last independent Himalayan Bud-dhist Kingdom. Neighboring

Sikkim was absorbed by India and Mustang became part of Nepal. Noting the crush-ing takeover in 1959 of Tibet by China, the present king’s grandfather, King Jigme Dorji, decided to end his country’s policy of isolationism and ally it more closely with English-speaking India. Bhutan still has no diplomatic ties with China.

Tom Sterling, a resident of Crestwood, Kentucky, was born in Jackson, Michigan. He spent much of his boyhood exploring and enjoying the wondrous outdoor world of the Great Lakes region. Fol-lowing high school he worked

for a summer in Yellowstone National Park.

Tom has produced several tour films and specials for the Canadian Broadcasting Company, PBS and The Dis-covery Channel. His films have been seen in over 80 countries around the World. Since 1972 he has done over 12,000 live presentations. In 2009 Tom was awarded the “Hall of Fame” award by the Travel Adventure Cinema Society.

Tickets for the show are $8 at the door. The back door and parking lot of the Petoskey High School will be open for patrons who cannot do stairs.

The Kiwanis Club of Petoskey will have a wheelchair avail-able at the rear entrance of the school.

The Kiwanis Club of Peto-skey has served the greater Petoskey area since 1922. One hundred percent of the profits from fundraisers such as the Travel and Adventure Series are used to support community service projects, nonprofit organizations and families. For more informa-tion, please contact (231) 224-6404 and leave a voicemail message.

North Central Michigan Col-lege and the Local Food Alli-ance will host the 3rd annual Around the Table conference for farmers, food producers, health care providers, educa-tors and local food lovers on Wednesday, October 28 from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. The con-ference will be held in the Iron Horse Café and Confer-ence Center on the Petoskey campus.

The conference, Around the Table: Local Food & Com-munity Health, will focus on the connection between eating fresh local foods and improving our health. Speak-ers will highlight some of the innovative ways people in our region are connecting farmers to senior centers, getting fresh local produce into hospitals, adding local foods to the school menu and curriculum, provid-ing farm-food vouchers for income-eligible citizens and supplying food pantries with farm market gleanings. This is a free event, but preregistration is required.

Keynote speaker Laura McCain, medical dietician and chef at Munson Medical Center, has created innovative programs to bring fresh local foods to patients and employ-ees. McCain will discuss easy ways to incorporate more lo-cal foods into the healthcare setting. Presenter and nurse Chris Scott recently piloted

a farm-to-senior program at the Friendship Center. “Most people don’t know how much is happening in our area to get fresh foods to the people who need it. It’s inspiring to learn about these programs and to realize we can do a lot more to improve access to healthy foods,” says Scott.

Other speakers include farmers and representatives from the school system, health department, farm markets and the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians. Each will discuss how they connect local foods and improved health in their work and personal lives. After a light local foods dinner, speakers will be available at the break-out sessions to provide details about their programs and answer questions. The goal of the conference, ac-cording to Local Food Alliance organizers, is that people leave with an understanding of the connection between local foods and community health, and the tools to make a change.

Sponsors include: Institute for Sustainable Living, Art and Natural Design (ISLAND), Grain Train Natural Foods Market, Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation, Michigan State University Extension Service, Friendship Centers of Emmet County and Munson Medical Center. The Local Food Alli-ance, which began in 2012 as

a discussion group at North Central Michigan College, has been a driving force in the ever-growing presence of small, locally-marketed food and farm products around the area.

Farmers, health care provid-ers, educators, food proces-sors, and all those interested in

healthy local foods are encour-aged to attend. The event is free, but advance registration is required to insure enough food and materials. Tickets and information are available at www.ncmich.edu/cce or by calling 231-348-6613.

Parents: Enjoy Free Dinner, Childcare, and Gain Knowl-edge of Parenting, Child De-velopment

Local northern Michigan agencies agree that having strong families is the back-bone to a thriving community and they have come together to offer a series of free net-working nights for parents and their children. The first networking night of the series is 6-7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 14, at Char-Em ISD Taylor School for Exceptional Learn-ers in Petoskey.

“Parenting is one of the

most challenging roles we will have in our lifetime,” said Maureen Hollocker, Great Start Collaborative Director. “Yet, thanks to the collabo-rating efforts of several local agencies, free lectures on parenting and child develop-ment will be offered through-out the next eight months to Strengthen Families by build-ing Five Protective Factors: Parental Resilience, Social Connections, Knowledge of Parenting and Child Devel-opment, Concrete Support in Times of Need, and Social Emotional Competence of Children.”

This is the fourth annual series Great Start has offered that has come to be known as Early Childhood Networking Nights, Hollocker said.

“We find that the collabo-ration of resources by Great Start Collaborative, Health Department of Northwest Michigan Behavioral Health Initiative, Charlevoix-Emmet Intermediate School District and Great Start to Quality Northwest Resource Center, has led to a very success-ful education series where parents and caregivers can enjoy a night out to connect with their peers and receive support and knowledge from early childhood experts,” she added.

Financial support of the education series eliminates barriers to participation that both parents and caregivers often face.

“Everything about our Early Childhood Networking Nights

is free,” said Susan Chowen, Quality Improvement Con-sultant with the Great Start to Quality Northwest Resource Center. “Not only is atten-dance free, but we provide a complimentary dinner, child-care, and fuel cards for those in need,” she added.

This year’s topics include:October 14: Positive Social

Connections for Parent and Children

November 4: The Power of Play

January 12: The Connec-tion between Movement and the Brain

February 10: Managing Your Emotional Mayhem

March 9: The Importance of Sleep

April 20: Teaching Children about Appropriate Touch

May 11: Distracted Parent-

ingAll events are held from

6-7:30 p.m. at Char-Em ISD Taylor School for Exceptional Learners in Petoskey. Space is limited and participants must register for each event indi-vidually. To register, go online at www.greatstartforkids.com or call 231.582.8070.

In addition to in-kind sup-port from the collaborating agencies, Great Start Parent Coalition, and Early Head Start, financial support for these events come from vari-ous grants including Char-Em United Way, Consumer’s Energy, and Michigan’s Office of Great Start.

For more information please visit www.greatstart-forkids.com and click on the Early Childhood Networking Nights tab.

Children’s Clinical Therapist Rene Beyette presents information to attendees on the Social and Emotional Health of Children at one of last year’s Early Childhood Networking Nights. This year’s series of free Networking Nights begins on Wednesday, Oct. 14, with the topic “Positive Social Connections for Parent and Children.” The free event is 6-7:30 p.m. at Char-Em ISD Taylor School for Exceptional Learners in Petoskey. Space is limited and partici-pants must register for each event individually at www.greatstartforkids.com or call 231.582.8070. (Courtesy photo)

Step into Autumn...

Be a hero this flu season—make an appointment for a flu vaccination. By taking this small precaution, you will protect loved ones, stop the spread of disease, and maybe even save a life. The Health Department of Northwest Michigan is offering immu-nization clinics throughout the region to help local com-munities prepare for this flu season.

Dr. Joshua Meyerson, Medi-cal Director for the Health Department of Northwest Michigan, urges everyone six (6) months of age and older to get vaccinated for the sea-sonal flu. He said not nearly enough people in Northern Michigan receive the vaccine. “Not only does vaccination prevent influenza and related complications, it can also save lives,” said Meyerson, who noted that young chil-dren and older adults may be more vulnerable. “Every-one should be vaccinated to prevent the spread of illness.”

The vaccine, which offers protection through the entire flu season, is available in two forms: the flu shot or nasal-spray. The shot is approved for everyone ages six (6) months and older, whereas the nasal -spray is approved for healthy individuals 2-49

years old who are not preg-nant. Those interested in the vaccine should contact their physician or the Health De-partment. Cost for seasonal flu vaccination at the Health Department is $30. Medicaid and Medicare are accepted, as well as private insurance, or clients may pay by cash or check.

Appointments are required to participate in any of the up-coming clinics, which include the following:• Bellaire Senior Center,

Oct. 6• Charlevoix Senior Center,

Oct. 7• Mancelona Senior Cen-

ter, Oct. 8• Sacred Heart Church, Elk

locations and schedules, visit www.nwhealth.org or www.facebook.com/nwhealthde-partment. The Health Depart-ment also offers additional vaccines, such as those for pertussis (whooping cough), measles, meningitis, and tetanus. Immunization clin-ics are held regularly at its offices in Bellaire, Mancelona, Charlevoix, Petoskey/Harbor Springs, and Gaylord.

Call the Health Department at (800) 432-4121 to schedule an appointment. The Health Department of Northwest Michigan is mandated by the Michigan Public Health Code to promote wellness, prevent disease, provide qual-ity healthcare, address health problems of vulnerable popu-lations, and protect the envi-ronment for the residents and visitors of Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet, and Otsego Counties.

Talk a little about the idea of a new sort of “purpose beyond profit” economy.

We measure the economy, or the performance of an in-dividual company, in terms of money. Money is not the real point of the economy or of companies, however, money is a merely a proxy measure for human prosperity. When we forget that, we are capable of doing things in the service of making profit that actu-ally defeat the larger purpose profit is supposed to serve.

Focusing on the real pur-pose of business yields far-greater results in financial terms, but more importantly in human terms, it creates fewer costs and substantially more benefits for the people who are impacted by business (all of us).

Why is it so important for communities to have con-scious entrepreneurs-- and why is it vital for businesses

to create communities within the workplace?

Another Gallup study found that the single greatest predic-tor of happiness in modern society is a good job, which they define as “meaningful work among people I care about.” More than money, more than status, more than paid time off, community and meaning at work are what make people happy.

We spend 1/2 of our wak-ing adult lives at work. It is difficult to overstate the im-portance workplace culture has on the quality of life.

Why is northern Michigan a prime place for conscious capitalism?

Communities are already strong in northern Michigan. People care about their neigh-bors and are ready to lend a helping hand. My wife and I moved to Leelanau County a year ago and felt the differ-ence right away. Conscious

Capitalism is a return to the ethics of small businesses that provide the backbone for their communities. Most business people already hold these values. We just need to live them more fully and let go of some bad habits that are holding us back.

Michigan Chambers of Commerce are leading the way toward a better business as usual, and Carlin Smith and his team at the Petoskey Chamber are working to cre-ate a thriving community for us all. I’m thrilled to be invited to support their efforts.

What can people expect to come away thinking about after attending this seminar?

When leaving the seminar, people will face a choice: do I accept the status quo, or do I find a way to implement what I’ve just seen for the benefit of my coworkers and my com-munity?

This seminar is not an

interesting presentation of information and case studies. It is a call to action.

Anything else you would like people to know?

The seminar in Petoskey is a kind of preview for a state-wide effort called Thriving Michigan. Business leaders from chambers of commerce across the state will be partici-pating in a 12 month intensive program expanding on the themes presented at the Oct 27th event. It all starts in Petoskey. Don’t miss it.

The session will be held Tue. Oct. 27, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the Library Conference Center at North Central Michigan Col-lege. The event is $30, and pre-registration is required. To pre-register, call the Peto-skey Regional Chamber of Commerce at 347-4150 or visit www.petoskeychamber.com.

-CONTINUED from page 1.Upcoming Chamber seminar encourages ‘Purpose beyond profit’

Superstition is defined as an “excessively credulous belief in and reverence for super-natural causation.”

“With 7 being a universally lucky number, you can cel-ebrate all those superstitions in the safety of our own dark, starry woods during this 7th annual event, too,” added Adams.

For more information, visit www.MIdarkskypark.org, email [email protected], or phone (231) 348-1704.

Program note: Vehicle transportation through the park will not be allowed dur-ing this event, and no trans-portation to and from the ending spot will be provided, so plan to walk one mile in and one mile out during this event.


Halloween ‘Challenge’ at Headlands Park

Winners of the Second Annual Essence of Emmet History Awards were announced on September 30. The Essence of Emmet is a collaborative of a dozen Emmet County historical organizations who work together on projects that preserve, promote and share our one-of-a-kind history in Northwest Michigan.

Recognized for their historic efforts in 2015 are:Lifetime Achievement Award: Richard Moehl, Mackinaw City, whose dedicated focus on Northern Michigan’s assets, its tourism industry, maritime heritage and economic devel-opment has led to significant contributions to the quality of life in Northwest Michigan and preservation of the past.

Moehl is one of the leading lighthouse preservationists in the United States. He was a founding member of the Great Lakes Lighthouse Keepers As-sociation in Mackinaw City.

After being introduced to the Emmet County staff in 2007, his focus narrowed to projects in Emmet County. He urged the acquisition of McGulpin Point Lighthouse, bringing a national expert to the site to validate the lighthouse and the site’s importance. He oversaw major upgrades at McGulpin Point, including re-construction of the lantern to explaining the colors to paint the walls – which he helped to sand and paint.

Building on his experience with Boy Scouts and the motto he created of “Developing a New Generation of Keepers,” he worked with Troop 4 of Ann Arbor over a number of years to bring young potential Eagle scouts to the site. The result has been a significant amount of trail restoration work and four completed Eagle Scout projects at McGulpin under his leadership.

When Emmet County cre-ated the Emmet County His-torical Commission, Moehl became a founding member.

Moehl was nominated by his historical colleague, Sandy Planisek, of Mackinaw City, who said: “Perhaps most importantly of all his many achievements, both profes-sionally and personally, one of Dick’s most enduring strengths is his ability to en-courage and mentor everyone who is fortunate enough to come across his path. He shares ideas and experiences broadly to help Emmet County staff continue the important historic preservation and pro-motion efforts to which he’s been so closely tied. He always offers enthusiasm, energy and creative ideas, and always en-courages those around him to “keep the go!”Distinguished Professional Award:

Presented to Pellston El-ementary School, for encour-aging third- and fourth-grade students to participate each

year in the Emmet County Historical Commission His-torical Essay Contest. Recog-nized during the ceremony were Pellston third- and fourth-grade teachers Sandy deCastro, Kim Wagenschutz, Emily Wolford and Boyne City Elementary Teacher Katie Re-inhardt, who previously taught in Pellston Elementary School until last year.

This award recognizes these elementary school teachers’ “above and beyond” efforts to encourage their students to see the value in learning about, preserving and protecting our shared history in Emmet County. Special Program: To the Petoskey Area Antiques Club and its recent Hiawatha Program and Hiawatha Pag-eant Historical Marker

This award is presented in recognition of the club’s work to apply for and fund a state historical marker at the site of the Hiawatha Pageant (1905- ‐1915) on Round Lake in Bear Creek Township.

The Petoskey Area Antiques Club is a local organization dedicated to exploring and learning about antiques, col-lectibles and local history. In June 2014, the club, under the guidance of club member Ima Williams, made an applica-tion to the Michigan History Foundation for a historical marker commemorating the 1905- ‐1915 Hiawatha Pageant, held on Round Lake between Harbor Springs and Petoskey.

Williams’ interest in the history of the pageant was sparked over 20 years ago when her daughter, then a student at Michigan State Uni-versity, completed a research paper and special project on the Hiawatha Pageant. In the 1990s, Williams with the support of the Antiques Club worked with local produc-tion company to produce a video of the pageant which includes oral history inter-views with people who had attended the pageant. The interviews captured on video have preserved an important part of the pageant’s history especially considering many of the interviewees have since passed. The Hiawatha Pageant DVD is now part of the perma-nent collection at the Harbor Springs Area Historical Society

and may be viewed at the mu-seum by the visiting public.

Today, the former site of the Hiawatha Pageant is off the beaten path, but during its heyday visitors arrived by the thousands to Wa- ‐Ya- ‐Ga- ‐Mug, a destination point on the shores of Round Lake. There resorters and tourists would disembark the Grand Rapids & Indiana train primar-ily to watch the staged pro-duction of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s epic poem, “The Song of Hiawatha.”

Not only has the Antiques Club successfully applied for the historical marker to com-memorate the site’s important history, but they also sought and received grant support totaling $3,000 (75 percent of the project cost) from the Petoskey- ‐Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation and the Petoskey Rotary Club. The remainder of the marker project was funded by the Antiques Club.

In addition, the Antiques Club brought this story to life during a presentation on Sept. 16 at the Petoskey Fairgrounds, featuring local historian Rick Wiles, one of tonight’s featured speakers.Publications award, for ar-ticles:

Presented to Rick Wiles, af-ter nomination by Henry and Naomi Singer of Petoskey.

Wiles’ name may be familiar from the many presentations he gives throughout Emmet County on historical topics of interest that are based on his decades and decades of research into this region’s past.

Wiles is a retired educator who taught at Petoskey High School and Spring Arbor Uni-versity in the areas of history, language arts and research. Wiles is a prolific writer. The topics of his writings have included the B-52 bomber crash in Little Traverse Bay; the Rebirth of the Sloop Wel-come; The Burt Lake Burnout; The Rainbow Inn: Petoskey’s African-American Resort Ho-tel and pieces on the Robison murders in Good Hart and many other stories of interest from our past.

Wiles has contributed vast information to the historical records of Emmet County through his writing and his presentations.

Restoration/Preservation Award:

Presented to the Petoskey Brewing Company, for the restoration of the original Petoskey Brewery building on M-119.

The building known as the “Old Brewery” was first com-pleted in 1898 and was used to brew Petoskey Sparkle beer until 1915.

The building owes its unique stature to the brewing prac-tices of the late 19th century. With a total of four stories, it is over 70 feet tall, yet only 20 feet deep. The breweries of the past relied on gravity to move water, wort and beer through the production process. The fourth-floor cupola likely contained a large water tank serving the brewery’s needs. The fire-brewing took place on the third floor as evidenced by the chimney flues still vis-ible today. Fermentation and packaging likely occurred on the 2nd and 1st floor as the production followed its way down.

The building is in amazing shape considering it is almost 115 years old. This is primarily due to its construction; the walls are 26 inches thick and made from solid red brick. There is also speculation that the high dunes on the opposite side of M-119 protected the building from the destructive winds of Lake Michigan. The building has remained largely untouched since its construc-tion. The cedar shakes which now cover a portion of the exterior actually fill in the spaces where large windows once were. Porter Vaughan, who owned the building form some 25 years starting in 1973, performed restorative con-struction on the roofline that was damaged by years of water penetration.

Since closing in 1915, the brewery building has served as retail shops, as warehous-ing and perhaps even as a goat barn. It wasn’t until 2012, under the new ownership of and complete renovation by Patrick Dowd and Lou Gos-tinger, that beer once again flowed within the walls of the “Old Brewery.”Distinguished Volunteer Award: Presented to Ceal Waskiewicz, for her dedication to the Mack-

inaw Area Historical Society.In nominating Waskiewicz,

Susie Safford, Michigan State Historical Commissioner from Mackinaw City, noted: “Ceal is most deserving of being awarded for her sage advice, wonderful skills and hours and hours of volunteering. While Ceal is First Vice President of the MAHS, her job description does not come close to entail-ing the extra time and efforts Ceal devotes to preserving the history of the Mackinaw Area.”

If you know someone or a group that is working hard to preserve Emmet County’s history, please nominate them in 2016 for the Third Annual Essence of Emmet History Awards!

Harbor Springs Girls Golf TeamTC Country Club, Monday, October 5

TC West won with 331. Anika Dy of TC West was medalist with a 75. Harbor Springs took 3rd with a 390 after tying Petoskey, but winning the 5th player playoff. Cara Smith of HS was a top 10 medalist with a 6th place 92. Zoey Bezilla shot a 97, Calli O’Neill shot a 100, Madi Bezilla 101. Serena Luplow all shot a 107 and Jackie LaFaive a 113.

“We were very happy to take 3rd. We know we can shoot at least 20 shots better, but any time we keep it under 400, we are happy with the girls. I think we are ready to shoot very well at Regionals at Grayling CC on Thursday!”

Thursday, October 1Harbor Springs shot a 187 to take first place in a Tri -match

with Charlevoix and East Jordan. Zoey Bezilla was low scorer for HS with a 44. Calli O’Neill shot a 45, Madi Bezilla 46, Serena Luplow 52, Jackie LaFaive 54, Kelsey Olvitt 59. For The JV. Mia Roukema shot a 50, Lexi Kihnke 58 and Adrianna Kirby 60.

“This was a great tune up for Regionals. I was also happy to see sophomore JV player Mia Roukema shoot a career low 50!. Regionals will be tough, but our girls are staying solid below 400 and that is a must to be in the running to compete for a Regional Championship.“

Varsity FootballThe Harbor Springs Rams varsity football team traveled to Indian River on Friday, Oct. 2, and spoiled Homecoming for the tough Inland Lakes High School Bulldogs (4 wins- one loss coming into this game). The Rams Offense scored 42 points in the victory. The Bulldogs managed to put only 22 up on the board.

“We wanted to get a fast start and elected to take the ball on the opening kick off. We felt we had an advantage on the flanks of their defense and we executed well on our first drive,” coach Rob Walker said.

The Rams needed only six plays from the line of scrimmage to put up the first points of the night. Jason Wixson took the pitch over the left side and scampered 26 yards for his first TD of the night. Mitch Hoffman was good for the extra point kick and the Rams led 7-0.

The Rams were able to pry the ball loose on the ensuing kick and Wixson made a huge fumble recovery for the visit-ing Rams. Chris Kowalski was asked to go to work and he and Wixson carried six more times before the Rams scored their second TD of the evening. Kowalski scored on a 5 yd plunge, Hoffman added the extra point and the Rams extended the score to, HS 14 – IR 0.

The Bulldogs were able to get their feet underneath them and responded on their first offensive series of the night. In-dian river put together a nice ten play drive and scored on a QB Draw to bring the score closer. The two point conversion was good making the score, HS 14 – IR 8.

The defense for Inland Lakes forced the Rams to punt on the next series. However, the punt was muffed and a nimble Noah Erxleben pounced on the loose ball to give the Rams great field position inside the 20 yard line. The Rams required 5 plays to tally their next score. Hoffman was good for the extra point. HS 21 – IR 8.

The Bulldogs were able to move the ball some distance on their next possession but another big fumble recovery, courtesy of Jacob Lechner, stopped the drive cold. On the Rams first play from scrimmage, Kern Reeves was able to go over the right side for a nifty 73-yd sprint virtually untouched. Some great blocking by Lechner, Jack Carter and Wixson popped Reeves free. The Rams only needed four touches to put more points on the board. HS 28 – IR 8.

The Bulldogs last possession of the night ended with an 11 play drive. With just 4 seconds left in the half Inland Lakes was able to hit a slant pass for their second TD of the night. The two-point conversion failed. The score at the half was HS 28 – IR 14.

The Rams were able to make some good adjustments on defense at halftime and began to tighten the noose on the home team. The Rams were able to get two more TDs in the third quarter. Kowalski was able to put the exclamation point on the evening by scoring a 23 yard TD on an inside trap that ended up in him exhibiting his open field skills and speed.

While the Rams were firmly in the lead the Bulldogs were able to rally one more time for a score but it was not enough. The final score was HS 42 – IR 22.

The Rams were fortunate to force and recover five fumbles on the evening - three of those on special teams plays. Overall the Rams rolled up more than 400 yards of offense.

“Coach Iafolla and I are very proud of this team and all the young men on it,” Walker said. “We have asked them to be a

team and play like a team. They are very impressive in their ability to set aside some of their own self interests and they understand that we have a common goal that drives this team. We have great leaders and role models on this team. I’m excited to see their best game, I haven’t seen it yet…we have more to work on. We play a tough opponent in their house this week in Frankfort (5-1) and it will be a great challenge for our young men. We will put in the work required and see where the chips fall.”

Some Stats of Top Performers: Kern Reeves,130yds, 8 carries, 1 TD; Jason Wixson, 154 yds, 12 carries, 2 TDs; Chris Kowalski, 84 yds, 12 carries, 3 TDs.

The entire offensive line was dominant, Coach Walker noted. “The consistency of our running game is entirely due to

them doing their jobs. They consist of seniors, Jacob Lechner, Michael Erxleben, Kenji Chang and Jack Carter and juniors, Skip Schorfhaar and Cam Kennard.”

Defensively, the Rams were led by Schorfhaar, Kowalski and Wixson.

Middle School FootballOn the 22nd of Sept. the Rams found themselves on a field of legend. When we stepped off the bus in Cheboygan and you could smell the historic winds of success. A school steeped in football history and looking out at the team warming up on the field, I felt a chill go down my back. All this lost to the young Rams who didn’t consider the past but only the future. To them, all that mattered was how well they executed their individual jobs and the score at the last tick of the clock.

The Orange Crush has been out sized in almost every game throughout their careers, but Cheboygan took that to a new level as the jr. Rams were mismatched like David and Goliath. But the talk in the pregame was about speed winning over size and heart over talent. They were ready to battle!!

Receiving the kick, it took two plays for the “O” line to clear a path for Dean Cameron who hit the jets and went some 60 yards to pay dirt. Rams up now 8-0, putting a unintended fire beneath the Chiefs who woke up a little and realized this isn’t the team they expected. Cheboygan moved the ball right down the field after the kick off, but the Orange closed the door at the 8 yard line and denied the Chiefs a reward. Back and forth it went until just before the half, those historic warriors from the Huron side broke a 50 yard run to come within a pair after a failed conversion attempt and leaving a small 8-6 difference at the half. In the third, the Chiefs moved the ball

before the Black side of the Crush appeared and shut the door again on the weakening warriors. Douglas Nixon and Connor Williams stuffed the outside enticing Cheboygan to attempt the interior where Kayden Forrester and Ethen Fedynick put the impression of a Rams horn on the chest of the would be ball handlers. The fight continued but late in the 3rd qt., David Harrell broke it down the side line and found the chalk giving a 16-6 advantage to the Orange after Dean Cameron again converted. Cheboygan again scored and the 16-14 advantage became little as the Chiefs were again driving down the field with 2:22 left in the game. But David Harrell, on a end- tackle twist stunt, cut off the swing pass from the QB and ran the ball 75 yard to the other end of the field to finish the scoring and giving the victory to the Orange Crush 22-14.

Last week, it was the always tough Rayders of Charlevoix in Ottawa Stadium to battle with the home town hero’s. Keep-ing the ball on the Charlevoix side of the 50 almost all the first half, the Crush inside the 10 twice could not find the chalk. A charming half time speech by the coaches and leaders on the team, stepping up and showing why they deserve the respect from the team, the large home crowd saw a different team hit the field in the second half. But not before the Rayders took the opening kick and found a seam down the Charlevoix sideline to the end zone to take a 0-6 lead. But then, it was Conner Williams who roared through the blocks of the Orange on the following kick to knot the score and after the conver-sion, 8-6 after only 31 seconds had been played in the half. Again, Charlevoix from it’s own 20, escaped a backfield loss and turned on the boosters to go the distance and put the Maroon and Gray up 8-12. But the door shut for the last time on the Rayders after that play as the Black Gauntlet was set and a no trespassing sign was hung by the “D”. Nothing hits like the “Jeep” Damoose and Rigel Snively shut the middle off and Janicki, Truman, Cameron, Nixon and Smith put up the no fly zone alert leaving little for Charlevoix to do but punt. But it was the cleat severing blocks of the “O” line and the ever darting running and passing game that broke the back of the Rayders. Scoring 24 unanswered points, the history books will tell the story of this this day as the Rampage again found the heart to win. Final score, 32-12.

Next week the Kalkaska game report and then Ottawa Sta-dium will be the site for our final two games on the 13th and the 20th @ 5:00. See you there!!!

When awards were announced at the 2015 Hasting Marching Band Contest on Saturday, October 3, the results were music to the Harbor Springs High School Marching Band’s ears. The band won the competition first with a score of 82.6. In ad-dition to receiving top honors, they also received awards for Best Music and Best Marching.

“I am very proud of how well our students performed at this contest, but feel even better about the way they have prepared for this performance over the last few weeks,” said Harbor Springs band director, Patrick Ruddy. “Whether we took first or seventh place in Hasting, it would not have changed the fact that we have amazing kids in our band. Having said that, it is nice that the judges recognized the effort all of us have put into creating and performing our show.”

Overcoming rain and high winds, the band gave their best performance of the year. Led by student drum majors Zoey Bezilla, Mitch Hoffman, and Martha Johnston, they performed the 2015 production, “Stripes and Stars.” Soloists included se-nior band member Mitchell Corey on alto sax, and junior band member Kayla Keiser on trumpet. Ruddy created the show with assistance from Blackbird and Shay Elementary music teacher, Jason Byma, who wrote the music for the drum solo.

“I am very happy that the members of the band were recog-nized today, but it is important to note that we could not have achieved this placement without the help and support of our band boosters, past and present,” Ruddy said.

“Our parents help the band in a variety of ways from fitting uniforms, building props, raising money, or serving as chap-erons,” he noted. “Ultimately, I am responsible for putting it all together, but there are many people who help with the numerous pieces that make the Harbor Springs Marching Band a special organization.”

The band will conclude their marching season with a per-formance at the MSBOA Marching Expo on Monday, October 12 held in Traverse City, along with their final two home games on October 16 and 23.

“If you haven’t seen them lately, be sure to stick around half time to see this great group of students performing at their best,” Ruddy said.

Black MassThis isn’t the Johnny Depp that I know and love. My Johnny Depp is funny and goofy, not menacing and violent. They even made him unattractive; now THERE is a makeup trick.

John Connolly (Joel Edgerton) and the Bulger brothers, Billy and Jim (Benedict Cumberbatch and Johnny Depp) grew up together in South Boston. Flash forward a few years and boy, when they talk about roads diverging, that was definitely the case here. Connolly works for the FBI, Billy is a State Senator and Jim (Whitey) is the head of the Irish mob in Boston.

Connolly and Jimmy come up with a plan that has Jimmy working as an FBI informant, but only regarding the Italian Mob in North Boston and not even much of that; it is basi-cally just a way for Jimmy to go about his merry way and not be harassed by the law. This is based on real people and supposed to be a true story, much like Goodfellas, and if this is all true, Bulger was one nasty piece of work. They try to humanize him a little with a couple personal fantasies, but it doesn’t make him any less creepy.

Depp has always been an amazing actor and he does a great job here, losing himself in evil. You won’t see any of the “Depp” mannerisms or eye twinkle; this character is all bad. Cumberbatch is good but underused, as is Kevin Bacon as an FBI boss. Edgerton is right there with Depp for a believable performance, though the sane among us question why a boyhood favor would inspire you to throw away your life decades later.

Very violent, but a nice change of pace for Depp’s fans. Rated R and earning it with profanity and graphic violence throughout. The real Whitey Bulger has ripped the movie (from prison) and Depp’s performance; that is reason enough for me to believe that it is pretty close to the mark.

On the BookshelfTough Topics for Younger Readers Make Good Reads for Adults Too

by Katie Capaldi

Crenshaw Food DriveDate: October 1st - October 31st

Contact: 231.526.6658, [email protected]

Katherine Applegate, Newbery Award-winning author of The One and Only Ivan, brings lucky readers a brand new middle grade novel with a whole lot of heart. Crenshaw (Feiwel & Friends, $16.99) strives to bring awareness to a topic that is not discussed nearly as much as it should be - childhood hunger.

Jackson and his little sister Robin are living with their parents and their dog in their family minivan. This isn’t the first time, and if things don’t turn around soon for his parents and their job situa-tion, it may not the be last. It’s not so bad during the school year, when Jackson has somewhere (with bathrooms!) to spend several hours of each day. And at least during the school year, Jackson is guaranteed a couple of meals. Sum-mer vacation is, however, a whole different story. There is no school. So often, there is little food to go around. Jackson knows that things must be bad this time because Crenshaw has returned.

Crenshaw is a giant cat. A giant black cat who likes to skate-board, and is sort of sarcastic. Jackson is the only one who can see and talk to Crenshaw. Crenshaw is pretty good at doling out the sage advise, but how can the musings of an oversized imaginary friend be enough to help Jackson’s real-life troubles?

In this honest and thoughtful portrayal of something which exists in neighborhoods, towns an cities across the country (even here in Harbor Springs), Katherine Applegate opens readers’ eyes, minds and hearts to a grown-up little boy and the power of children to overcome life’s adversities.

For the month of October, bookstores across the country are teaming up with local schools, libraries and food pan-tries to collect food items for children and families in need. Individuals who would like to make donations may deliver nonperishable food items all month long to drop boxes stationed at the following places:

Between the Covers Blackbird Elementary Shay Elementary Harbor Springs Middle School Harbor Springs High School

At the end of October, all donated items will be given to Harbor Springs Food Pantry. The bookstore which reports the greatest number of donations will win a school visit from Katherine Applegate herself!

Crenshaw is imaginary. Childhood hunger isn’t. Help us feed families in need.

Symphony for the City of the Dead: Dmitri Shostakovich and the Siege of Leningrad, by M.T. Anderson (Candle-wick, $25.99):

Finally, we come to this. One of, if not, the most important book to have been published this year. It is my personal goal to see this book placed into the History curriculum at Harbor Springs High School by the start of next school year. The topic is that important. And that overlooked. And that undertaught. It is a shame that young readers, or any readers, might possibly miss this story.

As the United States’ involvement in World War II was really just beginning to show its strength, the citizens of Leningrad were already under siege by German forces. The people were attacked, starved and left to fend for themselves. Over the course of two and a half years, desperation grew, as typi-cally sane individuals turned to fighting, burning and even eating one another, just as a means of survival. Amidst the reigning chaos in the streets, however, wandered one man. A composer. Dmitri Shostakovich.

In his anger over what was happening in his city, he found one voice that might still be able to penetrate the cacophony of war. The voice of music. Shostakovich’s “Leningrad Sym-phony” would become the voice of a people. It would tell a story that would inspire, grieve, and embattle an army of common citizens. The microfilm of the symphony made its way from Russia to the Middle East and eventually on to the United States, where its performance has long been unnoticed has a driving force in encouraging America’s driving force in the war.

M.T. Anderson delivers a meticulously researched and heart-breakingly narrated story of humanity and inhumanity. We owe it to our collective history to read this one.
