Voters in Harbor Springs will see more than an uncontested City Council election (Jeff James and John Cupps, Sr. are running unop-posed) on Tuesday, November 3. A proposed street millage will also be on the ballot that will allow City Council members to set an annual level-- no more than one mill-- for current street maintenance needs for 20 years.

“By approving this millage, we will give our City Council the ability to maintain our city streets without having to shortchange and make severe cuts to the other benefits and services that we have long ap-preciated in Harbor Springs,” said city manager Tom Richards. “By voting ‘yes’ to the ballot proposal, we will ensure that our city will have a reliable source of funds that is dedicated to maintaining our streets and sidewalks.”

Richards noted the recent up-grades to the city’s water and sewer system resulted in many streets be-ing repaved. However, he said the city still has many roads that are in need of maintenance in order to avoid falling into disrepair.

“Replacing a deteriorated street is extremely expensive when com-pared to the more reasonable costs for routine maintenance needed to keep a street in good shape,” he said.

The city manager also noted that while homeowners pay property taxes to the City of Harbor Springs, the vast majority of those dollars go to fun local, regional, and state edu-cation programs, as well as Emmet County operations.

“Only a small fraction of our taxes go to pay for City of Harbor Springs operations and services,” he said. “In fact, the Harbor Springs City Millage is typically the lowest of any city in Michigan.”

If the ballot proposal passes, prop-erty owners would see a maximum addition of one mill each year.

“So, depending on current street maintenance needs, the owner of a $100,000 home will see the street fund millage of some amount be-tween zero and a maximum of $50 per year,” Richards explained.

According to ballot language pro-vided to City Council in July, a fullied levied (at the one mill maximum) millage would produce an estimated revenue amount of $238,000 in 2016. However, the plan would be to only levy as much (again, with a one mill maximum) as needed for each year’s road repairs.

If the millage does not pass, City Council will have to make “a difficult choice between making cuts in some of the city’s other expenses to meet the costs of street maintenance, or put off street maintenance and risk having our streets fall into disrepair, increasing our future street costs.”

“Currently, the city’s low property tax millage is allocated to cover the costs of services including police, fire, parks, recreation, snow plowing and the City’s planning, zoning and other regulatory and administrative functions,” Richards said.

“While Harbor Springs residents can’t solve the State of Michigan’s road funding dilemma,” he added, “as voters we have the opportunity to ensure that Harbor Springs will be able to maintain our streets at the high level we’ve come to expect without having to make deep cuts to the other city benefits and services we’ve come to appreciate.”

Harbor Springs resident Larry Fenton is one proud father. And he should be. Larry and his wife Joan recently returned from Washington, D.C. where they attended an official promotion ceremony in honor of their son Gregory J. Fenton. Gregory was promoted from Captain in the Unites States Navy to Rear Admiral. He currently works out of the Pen-tagon.

Prior to this promotion, his most recent assignment was the com-mand of the USS George Washing-ton, a United States Navy nuclear powered aircraft carrier. The carrier was based in Japan where, accord-ing to a Navy press release: “George Washington and its embarked air wing, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 5, provide a combat-ready force that protects and defends the collective maritime interests of the U.S. and its allies and partners in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.”

Fenton’s official Navy biography reads as follows:

“Rear Adm. Greg “Fence” Fen-ton was raised in Grand Ledge, Michigan. He graduated from the United States Naval Academy with a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering and the United States Naval Postgraduate School with a Master of Science in Aeronautical Engineering. He also attended the United States Naval Test Pilot School, the Air Force Air War College, the Joint and Combined Arms Warfight-ing School and the Naval Nuclear Power Training Command.

His shore assignments include Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 106, serving as a flight instructor. He

served as Carrier Suitability Depart-ment head with the Naval Strike Aircraft Test Squadron, and during his second tour at Strike he led the Ordnance Department, conducting stores testing on all FA-18 models.

He also executed the Navy’s flight tests of the Lockheed-Martin X-35C Joint Strike Fighter concept develop-ment aircraft.

Just east of Wequetonsing, the Roaring Brook Association was established on 80 acres of heavily wooded land. This peaceful path was known as “Lovers Lane”.

To the Editor:

(The following was sent to Harbor Springs City Manager Tom Richards with a copy to this newspaper.)

Dear Mr. Richards,

As I begin to learn more and more about the decisions sur-rounding the deer that were once at the Deer Park, and the new ones coming in, I am be-coming more convinced that the Community’s governance should consider relinquishing its role in animal husbandry. The quality of life the City is creating for these animals is not good. The Harbor Springs Deer Park is a type of park that once flourished in the 1950’s and 1960’s, and have been

abandoned physically, and in theory due to the quality of experience for its visitors, and the quality of life for the animals that these parks pro-vide. The pen of deer simply lacks in creating experiences in education, stewardship, and compassion. It is a program that is flawed on so many levels, and though the flaws may be a symptoms of money, time, or education I implore the City to recon-sider its position on the need for this park and that Deer Park be removed, and move the City forward in providing other great opportunities for its residents and visitors.

Vanessa V. WarrenHarbor Springs

To the Editor:

Dec 6, 2011 was the latest ‘witnessed’ violent caged kill of captive deer in Harbor Springs. It was a profoundly, painfully sad part of humanity for me to watch, few people observed it. And as this small Northern Michigan commu-nity’s ethical unease of this discovery unfolded, we asked that the City of Harbor Springs to stop the cycle of killing the captive deer and close the deer park.

“When it got reported in the media, there was consid-erable push back and con-troversy“, said city manager Tom Richards. (Harbor Light, 9-30-15) The “it” was the city’s disclosure to the community of the past population man-agement methodology used

municipally cared for captive deer who, in turn supply them to one of the 140 fenced-in “canned hunts” in Michigan.

While some feel protective, wanting to expose children/grandchildren to the ‘captive deer experience’, few have been part of the heinous killing event(s) that have been this park’s entire his-tory-- allowing this fairytale to continue. And of late, few knew about this recent policy change in Harbor Springs to supply deer farms with hand-fed, captive deer who in turn supply canned hunts.

The sudden policy change on an issue with ‘considerable push back and controversy’ occurred without commu-nicating to the community who worked hard to present alternative solutions to the City Council in the past.

From here, it appears as though transparency was not followed. Suddenly our captive deer are gone, and the policies of maintaining it, done in secret. Folks, the fairy tale of Harbor Springs Deer Park is a myth. We need to do better in Harbor Springs. Let’s evolve. We need every-one on council to be honest, transparent, and courageous and we need to be good business folks and stewards.

Remove the Deer Park...

Letters to the editor

(since the 1940’s) to keep the captive deer numbers in-check; killing a portion of the Deer Park deer by gunshot.

The Harbor Springs, Michi-gan deer park opened over 70 years ago. It still exists even though most community cap-tive deer pens/petting parks have disappeared across the country.

Some reasons for the clo-sures are entrenched in the evolved enlightenment that wild animals ought not be caged and put on display for entertainment; others revolve around the reality and by-product that mammals, when put together, reproduce/multiply, out-populating the space allocated for them to exist safely/in good health. Also, concerns exist about

the spread of disease; bovine tuberculosis, Chronic Waste Disease, etc. and how that burdens the process/future of caring for captive popula-tions of deer.

The captive deer park’s care and responsibility in our community has become yet another duty to add to the job description of the Police Department and municipal workers. This includes feed-ing, safety and the manage-ment of outside contracting for health services, plus constant monitoring as well as documentation to at least two governmental agencies.

And, of course, they are responsible for controlling of the herd’s numbers.

But the reality is the quality of animal husbandry unfortu-nately has been witnessed as sadly inferior in a number of cases and those cases ques-tioned – at least in the years following the 2011 caged rifle shooting.

Fast forward to fall of 2015-- now the Council and City has changed its last birth control policy. They have entered into a contract with Storm’s End Whitetail (Gaylord, MI), a business that breeds deer. The(se) facilities aim is to breed the biggest bodied & most robust antler genetics to ultimately supply “canned hunt” facilities. Now with the policy change, Storm’s End will trade out our com-munity’s hand fed deer every year, and in their place, put smaller, younger ones back into our fenced in pen.

It is a business, not unlike an agricultural assembly line: Harbor Springs supply-ing Storm’s End Whitetails with community hand-fed &

Betty Jean Kosorski 83 of Harbor Springs formerly of Harper Woods passed away Oct. 13, 2015 at McLaren Northern Michigan Hospital.

Betty was born March 4, 1932 in Detroit to Norman and Ellen (Garrard) Nason. Betty was a direct descendent of Edward Rutledge, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. She grew up in Detroit where she attended Lincoln High School. On February 18, 1950 she married Donald Kosorski Sr. in Detroit. They made their home in Harper Woods where they raised their five children. The couple had summered in Harbor Springs for 25 years and wintered in Clearwater, FL before moving to Harbor Springs permanently in 1984.

Betty’s greatest love was caring for her children and their families. She always thought of others before herself. She enjoyed arts and crafts and celebrated all of the holidays by decorating her home inside and out. While in Harper Woods she was featured in a special newspaper edition focusing on her holiday decorations. Betty was an avid golfer and was a member of the Harbor Point Women’s League for many years. She also enjoyed working part time at “Moving Mates’ for several years.

Betty is survived by her children Tricia VanAntwerp (Ted) of Ft. Wayne, IN.,Donald Jr. (Mary) of Mackinaw City, Eric (Paulette) of Shelby Twp., Matthew (Kippy) of Grosse Point Woods, and daughter in law Debbie Kosorski of Sterling Heights. Betty is also survived by 13 Grandchildren and 13 Great Grandchildren.

Betty was preceded in death by her husband in 1994, a son Thomas, brothers Norman, Frederick, Robert, William, and Gerald and by her sisters Eleanor Martin and Judith Knebler.

A Mass of Christian Burial took place on Saturday Oct. 17 at Holy Childhood Church in Harbor Springs. Fr. Joseph Blasko was the celebrant. Interment followed at Holy Childhood Cemetery.

The family suggests that memorial donations be made to Holy Childhood Church. Online messages of condolence may be made at stonefuneralhomeinc.com.

I know that I have touched on this subject before, but each time I hear of stupidity on this level, it renders me speechless once again. As some of you may be aware, there was a college football game played in this state on Saturday. The University of Michigan and Michigan State University met, the game was hyped beyond all feasibility and the game didn’t disap-

point. It was a good game, both teams played well. The officiating was questionable and annoying; I hate that re-views stop the game for such long periods of time but that is an issue for another day.

The ending of the game was more than highly improbable, it was practically impossible and it left the huge crowd in the Big House stunned. Full disclosure, I couldn’t have been happier with the result BUT I would like to believe that had the ending we all ex-pected played out, it wouldn’t have been life shattering. Disappointing, yes, but life would go on, even as it does with the shocking ending that occurred.

To some, apparently, it was much more important than that. Blake O’Neill, the young punter for U of M, played an outstanding game, forcing MSU to start most of their drives in the shadow of their own goal posts. Whatever happened on that final play be it a bad snap, poor com-

munication or just a mistake, it happened and I’m certain young Mr. O’Neill wasn’t happy about it. And while that play might have been the immediate reason for the final result, there were a million variables through the entire game that could have changed the end result.

But for some complete los-ers who called themselves fans, the loss was totally on O’Neill and the game was barely over before the death threats and “suicide encour-agements” began on social media. Keep in mind, this young man is 22-years old and a very long way from his home in Australia. You know he was already feeling horrible, but then to have this sort of thing on top of it? Happily, he sounds like a well adjusted young man who is handling this with dignity and grace, words that these “fans” would have to look up in a dictionary.

If you recall, this happened a couple of years ago after a University of Alabama loss,

only in that instance, one of their fans actually shot an-other ‘Bama fan for not being upset enough at the loss. Oh, and the “goat” player in that game also got death threats from “fans”. I would like to believe that had the tables been turned on Saturday that MSU fans would have been better behaved, but I know that there are idiots masquerading as fans with every program.

I heard a very bittersweet story from Kelly Flynn Neer over the weekend. Her son, Jack, had been playing foot-ball on Saturday and after the game, he told his mother, “I feel bad for that punter...it is my fault we lost our game to-day because I fumbled on the 1 yard line.” Kelly, who was one of the finest high school athletes I have ever seen, had the wisdom to note that while it was heartbreaking to hear, it would in the long run teach him character. Not only that, he clearly already has empa-thy for others, another fine

trait to try to instill in children. She offered encouragement, I’m sure, but realized that there are lessons to be learned in a loss at least as important as those in a win. I only wish that the mothers of some of the idiotic cowards hiding behind their Twitter accounts would have taken as much care to develop characters in their children. We all need to keep in mind that on the high school or college level, these are kids and this is a game. If your life is wrapped so tightly around a sports team, any team on any level, perhaps you need to rethink your priorities.

It has been a long time since the Rams have made the foot-ball playoffs, but with their win last week at Homecom-ing, they’re knocking on the door this year. Good luck to them this week.

Let’s start with some an-niversaries this week. Happy Anniversary on October 24 to Lora and Mike Erxleben, on the 25th to Connie and

Danny Warner and on the 27th to Sharla and Terry Meyer. We wish many, many more years of happiness for all of you.

I have a belated birthday wish to send out to Laenie Backus on the 19th; hope the day was wonderful. This week, we send a Happy Birth-day to Zach Spaulding on October 21, Chris Baker on October 23 and to Andy Alke-ma and Roy Hall on the 24th. Sunday, October 25, Happy Birthday to Doug Chellis, Daniel Gasco, Bernard Corpe and to Jim Cole (told you I wouldn’t forget.) On Monday, October 26, birthday greet-ings going out to California to Rob MacKenzie and on Tuesday to Julie Leik, Mike Terpening, Bryan Leavitt, Kathy Ellis, and a Happy 1st Birthday to Emmet Beach. Finally we end our week with birthday wishes on October 28 to Diane Dakins, April Backus and Justin Zuidema.

For those of us who go to the Harbor Springs City Hall on all matters of business like attending meetings, paying bills, consulting with the of-ficials and staff members of the city, and maybe just for artistic reasons like attending watercolor classes…there is a new look to the garden as you enter.

This past winter completely destroyed the boxwoods that had been there for years and thus began the garden renewal. Once the boxwoods were removed thanks to Lauri Rowe and Julie Farr from the Garden Club, it was time to

Pancake BreakfastHarbor Springs American Legion Post 281 will be hosting a Pancake Breakfast on Sunday, October 25 from 9-11 am. Cost is $8/adults, Children ages 5-15 $5; Under 5 are free. All wel-come to stop at the Legion Hall, corner of Third and State St in downtown Harbor Springs. Plenty of good food and great company!!

Club 150Club 150 is now open. This is a club for all high school kids to hang out with friends or make new ones.We have a pool table, WiFi, flat screen TV, chess and assorted games, fireplace and a free snack bar and more., check us out. The hours are 3:30-6;30, Tues., Wed. and Thurs. and is located in the lower level of Holy Childhood. Enter off of Third Street, look for the Club 150 sign.

look at the small boulder that had been sitting off-center in that garden for many, many years.

Two of us who were “in charge of the City Hall Garden” were trying to figure out how we were going to do this when two Super-Heroes arrived in the persons of two men who are part of the Harbor Springs Dep. of Public Works. Marty Amlin and I simply asked if they could “give us a hand”. After they determined that this small boulder really was enormous with most of it be-low ground level, one of the two commandeered a huge

forklift that just happened to be nearby. After expert and difficult maneuvering, the boulder was magically on its way to a new home.

The next step for this redo of the City Hall Garden was a landscaping plan, one that would replace the perenni-als with ones that would add color but also withstand the direct sun that hits that area all year and correct another problem with the entry area and that is the condition of the brick wall. For years the brick has developed efflores-cence or discoloration due to moisture. The H.S. DPW has already tried all the remedies for removal of this white dis-coloration but they have not worked.

So as Lauri, Julie, Marty and I are thinking how won-derful it would be if Gow of Litzenburger’s Landscaping could help, Gow walks out of City Hall where he had been attending a meeting with the

City. I do not want to imply that we knew he was in there (we did) nor that we were planning to not let him leave without begging his help (but we were). We did not even have to beg. Gow is simply wonderful to work with and so generous in his time and his ideas. When we explained the problems of the area (size, direct sun, brick wall stains), he promised a garden design. In a very short time, that gar-den concept arrived and the transformation was begun.

The last piece has just fallen into place. Gow’s idea to hide the wall was to have climb-ing hydrangeas growing on a trellis. First of all the trellises which he recommended were not only very sturdy but beau-tiful on their own and once the hydrangeas take root and grow, the wall will no longer stand out but the eye will be directed to the beauty of the plants. While we waited for the trellises, Gow donated two

climbing hydrangeas and had them temporarily planted.

This work in progress is now complete and with some growing time should have years of adding beauty to those who use City Hall. Marty and I are so thankful to all of those who made the idea for this transformation a reality beginning with our Super-Heroes from the H.S. DPW, with Gow for his garden concept, for the gift of the hydrangeas but mostly for being so willing to help us and for wanting this area to look beautiful for the city as well. We thank the city and the Harbor Springs Garden Club for funding the trellises and thank Lauri Rowe and Julie Farr, the H.S. Garden Club leaders, who helped us find a way to “make this garden grow”.

What a difference a day makes! Pictured left, Bill’s Farm Market’s pumpkin field was filled with fall colored gourds on Friday, Oct. 16. The next morning, they were covered in a blanket of snow as the area got upwards of 4.5 inches of the white stuff. Two weeks ago, the colors were just beginning to emerge during Nub’s Nob’s annual Open House (below left and right). Bottom left, from on high you can see the colors of the season starting to surround Little Traverse Bay on Sunday, Oct. 18. You can also see some lingering snow from Saturday’s winter event. Bot-tom right, the colors have emerged in Zorn Park.

Irish has served as a board member and on the schol-arship committee of the Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation (PHSACF). She was extremely supportive in the early days of the PHSACF, helping people understand the value of a community foundation and in providing initial financial support; her involvement continues today. Through the Donor Advised Fund Ann es-tablished in 1997, more than $100,000 has been granted to benefit countless organiza-tions in Emmet County.

Irish has also served on the Council of Michigan Founda-tions, as well as the Northern Michigan Hospital Founda-tion as a board member, vice-chair and secretary.

In 1970, Irish along with other community members, realized women in the area were in need of vital repro-ductive health and education services. She was instru-mental in establishing the northern Michigan chapter of Planned Parenthood with affiliate offices in Petoskey, Alpena, Cadillac, Traverse City and Sault Ste. Marie.

Irish is an active member of her church, supports the arts and participates in several choral groups. Ann is known as being gifted at putting people together to solve and address needs. She is described by those who know her as generous, car-ing, witty, brilliant, strong, fun, and thoughtful and an amazing asset to our commu-nity. Irish is said to have the tremendous ability to deliver wisdom to a discussion at just the right time and with just the right tone. She champions causes she believes in without expectation of fanfare or rec-ognition. Through her active leadership in our community, behind the scenes and in the forefront, our community has been made stronger.”

Business & Professions Award

Elisa Seltzer, Director, Em-met County Recycling

Nominators said: “Elisa Seltzer was hired as Director of the Emmet County Depart-ment of Public Works in 1989 and has created and led the entire 26-year development of this award-winning Em-met County recycling system. Her passion, vision and hard work have created a model recycling program that is rec-ognized throughout Michigan and beyond.

Emmet County Recycling is used by more than 80 percent of Emmet County households, collects 60 dif-ferent materials and handles recyclables from four coun-ties. Under her direction, countless hours have been put into developing aware-ness and education about the importance and value of recycling. The effort has not only contributed to the health of our local environment, but also has become an income producer for Emmet County.

Seltzer is also recognized as one of the top five leaders in recycling, statewide, and she is constantly sought out as a consultant and speaker. She has served three terms on the Board of the Michigan Recycling Coalition, is the Chairperson of the Networks Northwest Solid Waste Ad-visory Council and is one of nine members on the Gover-nor’s Recycling Council.

In addition to her recycling and environmental health contributions, Seltzer is a skilled and accomplished teacher at Temple B’nai Israel in Petoskey. Her work with the children at the Temple has been described as “ir-replaceable” as she oversees and carries out a one year pro-cess with each child training for the Bar Mitzvah for boys and the Bat Mitzvah for girls. She is an active member and revered leader in the Jewish community and also serves on the Board of the Temple.

Seltzer’s deep commitment, friendly demeanor, can-do at-titude and infectious passion are qualities that have helped her excel professionally and as a caring and engaged com-munity member.”

Community Service AwardPenny Huber, an engaged

and committed community member

Nominators said: “Penny Huber is known by many as a person with integrity, car-ing and a get-it-done attitude described as “awe-inspiring”. She served on the Friendship Centers of Emmet County (FCEC) Board of Directors from 1995 to 2003.

During the time Huber served as Board President, it became imperative to find a new space for the FCEC. She handled the challenge by leading discussions, working with project partners and keeping the project on pace. She negotiated the sale of 25 of the FCEC’s 30 acres on Anderson Road in Petoskey; the current FCEC building stands on the five acres that remain. As a member of the FCEC Building Committee, Huber developed building plans, collaborated with the general contractor, worked on the community-wide capital campaign, chaired/volun-teered on multiple commit-tees and provided financial support to ensure a positive outcome.

Huber retired from the FCEC Board of Directors in 2003, yet she has continued to impact the area’s senior popu-lation by establishing the Hu-ber Senior Center in Brutus, made possible through her dedication and financial sup-port. Seniors have flocked to this location for meals, fitness and other activities. More re-cently, she has had the Huber Center remodeled with an office, library and sitting area. Currently, she is working on a Memorial Garden outside the center.

Huber’s support of her community is evident as the

founding, volunteer editor of the Alanson Village Chronicle, a quarterly newsletter and vital source of information for Alanson residents from 1995 to 2010. Her can-do attitude helped accomplish improvements to the Vil-lage of Alanson playground. Penny was also instrumental in establishing the Inland Wa-ter Route Historical Society/Museum in Alanson.

She has demonstrated commitment and caring to area seniors, as well as the community.”

Advocate AwardMary Peterson, Director of

Good Samaritan Family Ser-vices, food pantry and resale store

Nominators said: “Mary Peterson began speaking out for the needs of people in the Ellsworth area more than 25 years ago.

In 1990, she started the Good Samaritan on her kitchen table. Through her dedication and leadership the food pantry is currently visited by more than 700 families a month. The im-pact of Good Samaritan has been direct and meaningful to many communities. Since its inception, the pantry has had 81,000 family visits and touched the lives of individu-als and families from Charle-voix to Mancelona and Boyne City to Eastport.

Peterson’s efforts reach into other counties through her cooperative efforts with Northwest Michigan Com-munity Action Agency, Michi-gan Department of Health and Human Services, Salva-tion Army, TrueNorth and the Father Fred Foundation. Mary serves on the Board of Manna Food Project and was instrumental in founding the Front Porch Restaurant in Ellsworth which provides meals at no charge to those in need, as well as a Thursday senior lunch program.

There have been four natu-ral extensions to the Good Samaritan Food Pantry and Resale Store. The Moms and Tots Center was started in 2001 to address the unmet needs of pregnant girls and single mothers who were utilizing food pantry services. This program currently pro-vides services to 450 women and their children. Secondly, low income seniors in need of weatherizing their homes can find assistance via the weath-erization program. This pro-gram provides help with items such as insulation, window winterization and replace-ment doors – all upgrades are completed by volunteers. An emergency services program provided thousands of dol-lars, last winter, to families with desperate heating and utility needs: senior citizens without heat, young moms with an electric shut-off and those with disabilities facing eviction. Peterson also start-ed a shoe store for children called Sammy’s Shoes. This store provides quality, new

shoes to children of families utilizing the Bridge Card, or those eligible for their school’s reduced lunch program.

Through her work and volunteerism, Mary Peterson has been and continues to be a leader and an inspiration through her dedication, in-tegrity and kindness.”

Man of Action AwardBill Wilson, therapist, vol-

unteerNominators said: “Bill

Wilson is truly a man of ac-tion; a change-maker. As a founding volunteer member of the Violence Prevention Team, Wilson has provided leadership, insight and a depth of understanding about the issue of violence against women. More importantly, he has taken action in a va-riety of ways to help engage others – primarily men and boys – in the movement to end this violence.

He acquired specific train-ing that helped him conduct local focus groups to gain feedback from area men about their willingness to take a stand to end violence against women. One out-come was the establishment of the 100 Men Campaign which provides funding for local awareness, educational and prevention initiatives and provides a way for men to take a stand.

Wilson actively participates in awareness-raising events such as film screenings, panel discussions and White Rib-bon basketball games. To take a public stand and speak out to end this violence, he has also used the power of the pen to write letters to newspapers to call out social injustice or shine a light on local events that are derogatory toward women.

Wilson is a well-respected therapist and has worked for Chip Counseling, Lutheran Child and Family Services and in private practice. As an adept and accomplished professional, he has also lead batterers group intervention sessions for men who offend in this manner.

Beyond his professional and volunteer accomplish-ments, Wilson embraces the characteristics of compassion and respect as he supports his daughters in their devel-opment as strong, athletic and influential individuals in their own right. He displays the traits that are essential to drive the social change so desperately needed to end violence against women and girls.”

The Tribute awards recep-tion is hosted by the Women’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan (WRCNM) with title sponsor Chemical Bank. The event takes place October 29 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Perry Hotel. Entry to the Tribute reception is $25 per person and may be reserved by calling the WRCNM main office at (231) 347-0067.

Violinist and composer Maria Kaneko Millar has per-formed as a soloist through-out Canada, Ireland, China, Japan and the United States. Maria lives to improvise: her arrangements and aural tran-scriptions of Asian, Celtic, Gypsy, Klezmer, Tango, Turk-ish, blues, jazz, pop, rock and classical music have laid the foundation for fearless ad-libbing in any setting. Maria holds accelerated Bachelor of Music/Master of Music de-grees in Violin Performance from The Juilliard School.

Flutist Shawn Wyckoff is an avid solo and chamber musi-cian who has been featured in performances at Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, The Kennedy Center, Weill Recital Hall, Merkin Concert Hall,

Middle School Football

Way back in August, the middle school football team under Coach Mike Vandermus, began a campaign which based itself around a single concept. It wasn’t to win every game, that has long been an overdosed goal which seems to be a precursor for a team that thinks the score is the only thing that matters. The concept, which has been the battle cry, “Just Win”. Every push up, every lap and sprint, every homework assignment, every down on the field and every time you line up against the opponent, “Just Win ”!! It is about competing at your highest level and rising to a new level the next time you compete. It is about finishing well and never fainting in the face of struggle. It is about the mind of the athlete pushing his thoughts and body to a new level. All this, to project an insiders view of the program and it’s goals.

News travels quickly in Northern Michigan and the Elk Rap-ids football team knew the trip to Ottawa Stadium wasn’t going to be a push over. The word has been spreading across the land about our Jr. Rams and the Elks were fired up to dethrone our young men of valor. Even so, the mind of the Orange Crush was fixed and failure unconsidered by the team. Physically prepared and nearly at full strength with the return of Tyler Bellmer and several other key players. It took 13 seconds for the Crush to cross the chalk as Dean Cameron took the reverse hand off from Connor Williams on the opening kickoff. Gaping holes produced by the offensive line, (Harrell, Damoose, For-rester, Walker/Beach, Snively, Jordan and C. Beach), left super backs Jamie Janicki, Andrew Truman and Brenden Smith little to worry about but a juke here and there to dart past the those defensive corners of the Elks. Then there was the threat in the air which saw Grant Richardson send a bullet to the sure handed David Harrell who didn’t even stutter step on his way to the house some 65 yards away. Ramping to a new level, the Black Gauntlet defense of the Rams played a suffocating game as the Elks were stuffed like a bird at Thanksgiving. 28-0 at the half, Coach V. anticipated pass in the second half and the chalk board was lit up with protective measures to protect the end zone of the home town. And it was protected well as Dennis Nixon, Owen Potter, Brent Sharp, Nate Dryer

and Parker Rose stepped up when the call came from Coach V. “ Who is ready ? “. But it was again Douglas Nixon’s day for heroics as he blocked a punt and picked off a pass matching Connor Williams who took the hope from the Elks by shutting off the air attack. In the end it was every man producing, and the reward, a 34-0 shutout enjoyed by the entirety of the team and those loyal Ram fans who were witness to a perfect 5-0 team who have ramped to a level not seen in Harbor in many years. And that is how the season will end.

Our final game has been cancelled by the opposing team and we have been unable to find someone who is able, and or willing, to fill the spot for a final game. And so this game was bitter-sweet now knowing it was the season’s finale. A team which was put together over the last 5 or so years by community leaders with names like Janicki, Rushing, Warner, Osterlund, Cameron, Beach, Truman, Smith, Bosker, Pater, Novak, Kloss and a boat load of names too numerus to mention, but you get the idea. Men who have recruited, nurtured and taught these young men through the Pop Warner Program and have produced a diamond in the rough which coach Vandermus has taken, polished and fine tuned to the level where they now stand. Parents who have offered their time to run after school study periods and prepared pregame meals that has produced a galvanizing effect on the team. Equally supportive, a Principal and teaching staff who have continually been involved with the team to make sure every academic opportunity is avail-able so that success on the field is not at the expense of a great education. And that is how this team got to where they are. Many hands making the load light which, down the road, will see great citizens stepping off the grid iron and into this big world with an attitude of , “ JUST WIN “ !! Because this isn’t just about winning at football, it’s about producing winners !! Congratulations on a job well done !!!!

The Harbor Springs varsity girls golf team competed in the Division 4 state champi-onships for the third year in a row (not second as reported last week) last Friday and Saturday, Oct. 16-17. The Rams finished ninth overall with team scores of 398 on the first day and 389 on the second day of play.

“We were proud of the girls,” said head coach Pete Kelbel. “It was very cold and windy with tough pins. Our putting was the only part of our game where we usually perform better.”

Scores from the first day of play were as follows: Madi Bezilla 97; Calli O’Neill 97; Zoey Bezilla 100; Cara Smith 104; Serena Luplow 109.

Scores from the second day were: Zoey Bezilla 86; Madi Bezilla 99; Serena Luplow 101; Calli O’Neill and Cara Smith 102.

Kalamazoo Hacket Catholic High School was the state champion in Division 4.

Coach Kelbel noted the two low scores on the first day came from freshmen Calli O’Neill and Madi Bezilla. Ser-ena Luplow shot a career low 101 on the second day.

The coach also shared that Zoey and Madi Bezilla both left immediately after their last hole on the first day and drove with their parents back

to Harbor Springs for the Homecoming Game. Zoey was a member of the Home-coming Court. They arrived in 15 minutes before half time, changed and got to the stadium. Madi played in the band halftime show. Zoey is the Drum Major in addition to being on homecoming court. They left shortly after half time to head back to East Lansing. They got back to the hotel in East Lansing about midnight and Zoey then shot 86 (12th overall on Day 2) and Madi 99.

A senior, Zoey Bezilla has now played in three straight state championships - at Bed-ford Valley (team 6th overall), Grand Valley State University (team 2nd overall) and Michi-gan State University this year (team 9th overall). Those are the rotating three locations for the state championships.

“We will miss Zoey,” coach Kelbel said, “and she has been the perfect senior captain. But we have the rest of this team back and will work hard to return to the state champi-onship.”

In what continues to be a dream of a season for the Rams, the varsity football team a homecoming victory over East Jordan on Friday, October 16. The Rams, now with a 5-3 record, are power-ing through the first winning season the team has experi-enced in 15 years.

“In driving sleet and snowy conditions, the Rams secured their win with an explosive rushing attack,” said head coach Rob Walker.

The Rams took the open-ing kickoff and methodically worked it down the field. Ja-son Wixson was able to go over the left side for the first touchdown of the evening. Mitch Hoffman added the Ex-tra Point and Harbor Springs took the lead.

The Rams defense was stout the entire first half, Walker noted, forcing a quick three-and-out by the Red Devils. East Jordan was forced to punt.

“While the East Jordan de-fense did make some plays on the ensuing series, Hoffman threw a critical pass comple-tion to senior Chris Kowalski on a wheel route to convert on a third-and-10,” Walker said. “Kern Reeves was able to break free for a 42 yard touchdown on a beautifully blocked Counter Play.”

The extra point kick was good, and the scoreboard showed Harbor Springs 14, East Jordan, zero.

“On the Red Devils next possession, the Rams defense again came up big. East Jor-dan was forced to punt again, giving the Harbor Springs team great field position to begin their third possession. The Rams only needed four plays to strike pay dirt, as Kowalski sprinted through arm tackles for another Rams touchdown,” Walker said.

Again the extra point kick was good, pushing the score to HS 21 – EJ 0.

East Jordan was able to generate some offense and was able to score on their next

possession. Their two point conversion failed and the first half ended with 21-6 on the scoreboard.

East Jordan got back into the game with a third quarter touchdown off a counter play, tightening the score to HS 21 – EJ 12.

Walker said his team was able to generate a few first downs, but a fumble occurred on a handoff and the Rams de-fense was forced into action.

“The defense was up to the challenge and after only a couple of plays, recovered a Red Devil fumble to put Har-bor Springs offense back into business,” he said. “Needing only three plays, the Rams scored again. Wixson was able to cap the 24 yard drive with a seven yard dash on a sweep to the left.” The Kick was good.

The Red Devils, however, would not let up. They only needed two plays to cover the 63 yard distance to score again. Their conversion at-tempt was no good; HS 28 – EJ 18.

With the snow getting much more persistent and the foot-ing getting tougher by the minute, the Rams also needed only two plays to cover 64 yards and score again. This time it was junior, Alex Wil-liams scoring on a very nice 34 yard sweep to the right. Hoffman added the Extra Point. HS 35 – EJ 18.

While East Jordan was able to score again, the Rams took over in the remaining minutes to seal the victory. Hoffman engineered a very nice nine play drive that featured Kow-alski carrying six out of the nine attempts. The big guys up front dominated the line of scrimmage all night. The clock was chewed up by the Rams’ ball-controlled offense and Kern Reeves was able to get his second touchdown of the night to finish the scoring. The final Homecoming score was Harbor Springs 42 – East Jordan 24.

“It was a very good team effort,” Walker said. “The Of-

fense did what they should have. We protected the ball, we were effective running the ball and played well with good balance and poise. The condi-tions were not good and got worse as the night went on; I think it helped both offenses, as they know where they want to attack and the defense had a very hard time changing momentum and direction with the treacherous footing out there,” Walker said.

The lights weren’t even out in Ottawa Stadium before Walker had turned his atten-tion to the next game. With the first winning record since 2000, it has been 15 years since the Rams earned a spot in the playoffs. This, Walker said, is the team’s goal.

“Good football teams need to beat the teams they should. That’s what we did,” he said. “We have set ourselves up to control our own destiny for a playoff berth.”

In order to make the play-offs, the Rams will have to face district rivals, Charlevoix.

“We need to beat a good Charlevoix team that has the same record as ours, 5 wins, 3 losses. They feature an ‘option offense’ and we have some work to do to prep for this team,” he said. “I believe our team can and will focus well and be prepared for next week’s game. We get to play at home, and that should also be in our favor, but we need to execute and take care of what we can control. We have earned this opportunity and it should be an exciting game.”

Some Homecoming game stats:Chris Kowalski 111 yds 1 6 carries 1 TD; Kern Reeves 97 yds, 10 carries 2 TDs;Jason Wixson 74 yds,13 car-ries, 2 TDs; Alex Williams 34 yds, 1 carry, 1 TD; Mitch Hoff-man 6/6 Extra PointsRams scored on 6 out of eight possessions.

The Harbor Springs boys soccer team was hoping to win at least a share of the conference title this year, but they would fall short after losing at home to Elk Rapids On Thursday, October 15 at Ottawa Stadium.

The Rams would hit the road to start off their final week and win their next to last regular season game in convincing fashion, trounc-ing Boyne City 8-0. The week, and the season, would not end as well though thanks to the Elk Rapids Elks.

The Elks had the opportu-nity to play spoiler all week, facing Charlevoix on Monday who was also in contention for the conference title. The Rayders weren’t ready to have their season end on a

losing note though and they would send the Elks to Harbor Springs with the chance to knock the Rams out of their share of the title.

With the Rams taking the field without one of their top starters, sophomore Joe Claramunt, it would take Elks just over 23 minutes to score their first goal of the match with a second coming exactly ten minutes later. The Rams couldn’t find the net in the opening half as they once again they found themselves unable to capitalize on first half opportunities.

The Elks would add two additional unanswered scores in the final half to claim a 4-0 win and extinguish the Rams hopes for a shared title con-ference.

Even though the Rams had

a first match bye, there was still soccer played at Ottawa Stadium on Monday as the Charlevoix Rayders won their first district round match, defeating Harbor Light 8-0.

The Rams will face Bellaire as their first district tourna-ment foe at Ottawa Stadium on Wednesday.

The InternI won’t try to convince anyone that this is fine filmmaking,

because it isn’t. But sometimes, for me at least, a movie that is simply an entertaining diversion for a couple hours is enough and this fits that description perfectly. I would argue with the classification given by the studio; they call it a comedy and while there are some comedic parts, there are just as many serious/dramatic moments, perhaps even more. This isn’t a criticism, just an observation.

Ben (Robert DeNiro) is a recently widowed retiree living in Manhattan. At loose ends since the passing of his wife, Ben notices an ad for senior interns and decides to give it a go, just to keep himself occupied. This program, the brainchild of an executive as a community outreach, is not completely embraced by Jules (Anne Hathaway) the founder of an online company who Ben is assigned to. Julies is a workaholic, simultaneously obsessed with her company yet feeling guilty about neglecting her family.

I don’t think it will come as a surprise or a spoiler to anyone when I say that Ben is not immediately accepted by his much younger colleagues, but his charm and intel-ligence eventually wins them over. There is much more to the movie than that. Ben becomes a confidante to Jules, who is having marital issues, and finds a contemporary of sorts, I guess, in Fiona (Rene Russo), a masseuse.

I wish that more of these programs actually existed and I wish that the participants were received as it is in this movie. I wish that more people chose to handle their personal problems as Jules eventually does, rather than walking away from them. It is an effective vehicle for both DeNiro and Hathaway and the chemistry (not romantic) between them is very real and they both offer believable if understated performances.

Rated PG 13, there are some sexual implications, nothing blatant, and some profanity. There isn’t a lot, probably ten incidents (wild guess) in the entire movie. It isn’t, however, a movie that children would find entertaining; this is for big people.

On the BookshelfNorwegian Wood: Chopping, Stacking

and Drying Wood the Scandinavian Way,by Lars Mytting (Abrams, $24.95)

Reviewed by Brian Boeckl

As the title would suggest, this is a book about wood and its use as a fuel. Lars Mytting, whose CV is predominantly comprised of fiction writing, found an unexpected level of success with this, his first venture into nonfiction. Having already sold hundreds of thousands of copies in Norway and Sweden alone, the English translation of Norwegian Wood is bound to resonate in the more placid corners of the United States in ways that New York publishers might not anticipate. (Translation: if you want a copy for gift giving or just to treat your-self, don’t wait long to place your order. Between the Covers has already sold out of the store’s original publisher order and has quadrupled its next. That’s how much we believe in this little volume from across the Atlantic.)

Make no mistake, Norwegian Wood may be instructional and illuminating for novice and wood-smith alike, but it is not a dry manual. First of all, it is beautiful. The trim size and heft is that of a novel, but the photography and layout is that of a great coffee table book. Especially when it comes to stacking methods, the images showcase how the task hovers between utility and art.

Idea, method and hardware are brought together thought-fully through Mytting’s cultivated use of narrative and outside sources. From post-war chainsaw advertisements to encounters with hardy rural folk and classic poets; wood chopping, stacking, drying and burning is given the full animation that wood-burning enthusiasts will immediately recognize as the core of why they love heating both their indoor and outdoor spaces the way they do.

From pondering what sort of human you are based on where your mind goes when chopping wood all day (Do you orbit around one thought? Or many? Do you contemplate with the drop of maul and axe? Or do you get lost in the rhythm of arc and contact?) to the diehard, generations-deep loyalty to one chainsaw brand over others, this book will strike a chord with anyone in love with the North Country.

Many of the Scandinavian narratives and history will be familiar to Northern Michigan families as well: how the advent of the chainsaw breathed new life into our stoves and fireplaces, or the unwillingness to let woodburning go in favor of more convenient heating methods. Even with central forced air, natural gas and propane, there is some-thing about the penetrating heat and profound comfort of reclining by the fire with a good book, a movie, or your family that can make the bottom of January the best time of year.

Whether you are a football-watching dad or a teenager absorbing Thoreau’sWalden for the first time, Norwegian Wood is the book for you. It’s not often or with such confi-dence we find books about which we can say that.
