When stepping inside the voting booth this November, community members will be asked to step up and help pay to keep the Harbor Springs pool open. Following a year of discussion, committee meetings, and opinion gathering, the Harbor Springs Board of Education has decided to put a six-year, 0.13 mill request on the ballot.
The money garnered each year-- an estimated $120,000-$130,000-- will be put directly into a fund used only for the pool.
“It will be used mostly for opera-tions and staffing,” said superinten-dent Mark Tompkins. “We are hop-ing to expand our programming, and the goal is to have the pool reopened for the year before the election. That shouldn’t be a problem at all.”
According to the district’s pool proposal document (which is avail-able for viewing on the Harbor Springs Public Schools’ website, www.harborps.org), “in a typical year, the pool costs the district ap-proximately $130,000 after revenues. This does not count the expense of

Students in Harbor Springs will see evidence of the district’s new tech-nology bond when they return to the classroom on September 5, as work began this summer on the schools’ five-year tech plan.
“We spent the summer getting classrooms and wireless access up to speed,” said superintendent Mark Tompkins. He noted all elementary rooms now have new audio and video equipment. Teachers will also have new work stations.
“All of our teachers, K-12, received iPads (tablet computers) this sum-mer,” Tompkins added. “They have had time to play around and get to know these devices, and now they will undergo a two-day training to learn how to use instructional apps as teaching tools. There are so many possibilities, it is great.”
Tompkins also said students will not be receiving their own iPads this year, even though many districts with dollars designated for technology give them to both instructors and learners at the same time.
“Right now, we’re focusing on the adults. We want our teachers to really know how to use these devices, and to fully understand the advantages and disadvantages of using them as teaching tools in the classroom. We also want to make sure our wireless network can handle all the new usage, make sure our security controls are in place, etc. We want to do this slow and right. We are really excited to see our teachers learn and create new opportunities through technology.”
Other projects the district started this summer included “tuck pointing” work on the bricks of the 1915 portion of the high school, as well as work on the pool. Tompkins said there have been problems with the pool’s roof leaking, despite it being replaced just last year, and the district is currently working with the roofing company to rectify the situation.
The only major facility update cur-rently underway is the high school locker room renovation project. While Tompkins said construction is going as planned, the locker rooms will likely not be complete until late September/early October.

“Year after year, after year,” was the phrase used by Ann Irish Wilderom to describe her lifelong commitment and love for sail-ing. Wilderom retired from the Little Traverse Sailors sailing school board last spring after 35 years of service, both as a board member and former director of the program.
Wilderom’s connection to sailing and Harbor Springs started when her family moved here-- via sailboat-- in 1943. She said her dedication to wind and water comes is genetic; her father, Herbert Irish, loved the sport.
“It just came with being a family member; you learned to sail,” Wilderom said.
Her days as a sailing instructor began with the Little Traverse Yacht Club. The club started a sailing program at Harbor Point, based on Thomas Carruthers III’s dock in 1955. Within three years, Wilderom, her brother Dave Irish, and Maxine Noll became the main instructors for the program. Years later, during the mid to late 1960s, the Yacht Club gained access to a building next to the Irish Boat shop and was able to start the Little Traverse Sailor Sailing School.

The Emmet-Charlevoix County Fair has worked to make upgrades to the annual event that are mindful of not only local families, but also the environment.
The fair will run August 21-26, featuring the Skerbeck Carnival, Grand Stand Events, 4-H Horse and Livestock Shows, the return of Hometown Idol and more.
Fair Manager, Agnes Shaw, said that on top of trying to offer afford-able “quality time” to families, the fair is also making an effort to pre-serve and honor natural resources.
With a Green Fair Project Grant, as part of a Michigan soybean promo-tion, the fair will be awarded up to $5,000 matching dollars for soybean projects used to run the event.
“It was not hard to come up with $9,000 worth of soybean products that we could use,” added Shaw.
Shaw explained the ink used to print fairbooks, and the paint used for all wood at the fair, are made of soy. Tractors and all diesel vehicles will be filled with biodiesel fuel this year.
“The grant has really helped with
fair expenses as well,“ Shaw said. She noted the fair is a non-profit organi-zation and benefits from admission costs and grants such as this one.
Making upgrades this year will also benefit the horses.

Former Harbor Springs elementary school principal Karey Scholten has filed a lawsuit against the school district, alleging a hostile work en-vironment and wrongful removal from her position.
Scholten was the principal of Blackbird and Shay Elementary Schools from 2005 until she was placed on medical leave during the last months of the 2010-2011 school year.
Her contract with the school district did not expire until June 2012. She spent one school year in a central office position, focusing on curriculum for the Harbor Springs School District.

Gow Litzenburger, owner of Litzenburger Landscape, drove down Main Street Thursday, August 9 after the Harbor Springs Car Festival in his recently renovated New York City taxi cab. The cab, a 1987 Chevy Caprice, is completely authentic even down to the functioning meter and retired medallion from the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission. The cab was restored by Litzenberger’s staff mechanics and restoration team. Litzenburger decided to purchase and restore the taxi after having two of his restored business trucks used in movies. Litzenburger says that even if the cab is not used in a movie, he is excited to have such an interesting commercial vehicle and he said it is something he has always wanted.

American Life in PoetryBY TED KOOSER, U.S. POET LAUREATE
A while back, we published a poem about a mockingbird, but just because one poet has written a poem about something, he or she doesn’t hold rights to the subject in perpetuity. Here’s another fine mockingbird poem from Carol V. Davis, who lives in Los Angeles.
Mockingbird II How perfectly he has masteredthe car alarm, jangling us from sleep. Later his staccato scatters smaller birdsthat landed on the wire beside him. Perhaps the key to successis imitation, not originality. Once, when the cat slinked upthe orange tree and snatched a hatchling, the mockingbird turned on us,marked us for revenge. For two whole weeks he dive bombedwhenever I ventured out the screen door lured by his call: first tricked into thinkingthe soft coo was a mourning dove courting, next drawn by the war cry of a far larger animal.He swooped from one splintered eave, his mate from the other, aiming to peck out my eyes, to wrestlethe baby from my arms, to do God knows what with that newborn.

To the Editor:
As a lifetime resident and past member of the original DDA, Chairman of the Har-bor Commission, Chamber of Commerce past president, and local business man, I have some comments on the redo of the waterfront.
1. Losing parking places there will lose jobs in the business places that depend on them.
2. The Harbor is full, the Harbor Plan that I was part of in 1982 and revisited in 2002 stands and there is no room for expansion.
3. Tennis courts must be replaced if removed from the present location. The Zoll Street City property would absorb 4 new courts and still have lots of green space.
4. A focal point of a carou-sel, fish pond, fountain etc offers no interest to the local people, or visiting public. Who is the visiting public in Harbor Springs? Not casual motel staying folks, but re-sorters, cottagers, and prop-erty owners who love what we have now and will resist any reduction in the waterfront parking in favor of bringing day tourists who buy only ice cream and go away, and further drive out our full time summer people. They are our industry. They need services the locals supply. The day tripper does nothing for the town.
This has been going on for some time. When I was invited to a meeting at the old City Hall, there were about 30 peo-ple there, and yet, only four of us lived here long enough to remember what life was like in the 50’s-60’s 70’s and 80’s.

I would like to voice my sup-port for Luther Kurtz’s effort and accomplishment in bringing outdoor movies to downtown Harbor Springs. On his own he has done what the ‘place making’ and ‘visionering’ groups are try-ing to do. Bring elements to Harbor Springs that will keep our young residents here, and attract tourists and others to Harbor. I attended the out-door movie and found it to be a very enjoyable experience. I didn’t do an actual head count, but must have seen 50 others there, including couples with young children.
The venue of Thursday nights on the grass at the marina provides a great en-vironment, and one similar to what other cities are doing to bring life to their towns and to support their residents.
Harbor needs to applaud Luther’s efforts and support him in any way possible. I will.

I am writing to the newspaper today, with the hope that a last minute change can be made to the Harbor Inc. Bike Path plan on M-119.
As most people know, the Bike Path is complete from Charlevoix to Harbor Springs, with the exception of a ¼ mile stretch in front of Wequetons-ing Golf Club. This last section is slated to be completed in early September.
What most people don’t know, is that there are 4 mag-nificent oak trees that will be cut down in order to complete this project. The smallest of these trees have been there for at least 70 years. You can’t miss them as you drive along by the east side of the golf club, as they beautifully frame the side of the road.
I do not use the Bike Path, however, it is my understand-ing that it was created to offer bike enthusiasts, run-ners and walkers a safe and aesthetically pleasing path from Charlevoix to Harbor Springs. I believe it has some value, but at the same time, I do not want the path to ruin the beauty of our up-north community. As much as the path has twisted and turned around mailboxes and drive-ways and natural obstacles on M-119, I would hope that MDOT and Harbor Inc. could come up with a creative way to save these beautiful trees from being cut down in the process. Once they are gone … they are gone forever. It takes a person’s lifetime for another tree like them to re-grow to this size.
I have been told by a num-ber of people involved in the process that the path can go through without cutting these trees down. The path may be slightly more narrow, but it CAN BE DONE !!
If this is important to you … please contact Harbor Inc and MDOT to ask that they kindly work around these magnifi-cent natural treasures.

To the Editor:
Thursday, August 9 was a wonderful summer evening in Harbor Springs.
We attended a very inter-esting lecture at the Harbor Springs History Museum on old landmark hotels in this city. It was Street Musique Night with lots of music and entertainment. The bonus was the fun Car Show at Zorn Park.
All of these events attracted many visitors and locals.
However, I overheard a sad commentary while trying to have dinner at the only family pizza restaurant in town.
There was a line for seating due to all the fun activities going on. A family in front of me in line was getting frus-trated by the wait. Finally, the wife with her children, said to her husband, “I told you I didn’t want to come to Harbor Springs” because of the lack of dining for families.
How sad we provide lots of opportunities for visitors but no facilities to attract them to stay longer and eat and shop.
There is an opportunity on Main Street in the previ-ous Cedar Creek Interiors/Card store to have a family restaurant.
With all our efforts with the Downtown Develop-ment Authority, Chamber of Commerce, and WadeTrim study, we need to make family friendly dining a priority in Harbor Springs.
Everyone knows this and talks about it all the time. Now someone will hopefully step forward to make this happen, if we want to make our won-derful city sustain itself as well as “grow-back to the future.”

Need for a Harbor Springs family restaurant
To the Editor:
I am sad and I am sorry that most of the world did not have the chance to meet Mrs. Myrtle Johnston (obituary appeared in last week’s Har-bor Light Newspaper). Those poor souls never had the op-portunity to be cheered by her smile, warmed up by her hug, experience the love of life sparkling from her eyes, learn the meaning of a real work ethic by her example, feel the pure pride she held for her family and her home, be infected with her wonder-ful humor, or be nourished from her kitchen. I am sorry they did not get the chance to learn from her that one
Letters to the editor
Remembering a ‘local hero’
should never judge strength by the size of the individual. It is too bad that so many never had the opportunity to learn about caring, compassion, trust, and generosity from Mert. She showed us how to be all those things to fam-ily, friends, and community without expecting or wanting anything in return.
Locally, I am so sorry that so many will have to go without knowing the tastes of her breakfasts, lunches, pies, and her endless cup of coffee. It is very sad to know that future Harbor Springs Fire Fighters will not have a chance to get a hug from Mert at the an-nual Christmas gathering at the Legion, or share coffee in her restaurant after a fire; no matter the time. It is a crying shame that some day people will forget that she al-
lowed certain Harbor Springs people to carry a key to her restaurant so coffee could be shared at 5 a.m. seven days a week. It has been a while and it is simply too bad that high school yearbook ad people cannot sit down and talk to Mrs. Johnston about an ad in the yearbook.
On the other hand I am glad. I am glad I was able to know Mert (Yes, she did tell me that her name was Mert). I am glad I can share my memories of one of my local heroes with others. I am glad that she left a bit of herself in her three daughters and her grandchildren. I am glad that the last time I saw this wonderful humanitarian we shared a hug, had a great, but too short, conversation, and left with a grin and a giggle. Our corner of the world has another void that just will not be filled.

Harbor Springs will gather a “flotilla” of watercrafts for a Pure Michigan video shoot on Saturday, August 25 at the west end of the Harbor. The shoot will be done by Rob Bliss, the creator of the Grand Rapids LipDub video.
Bliss’s viral video is known for generating millions of dollars for the city of Grand Rapids in tourism and pub-licity. As a partner of the Pure Michigan campaign, Harbor Springs was invited to dub one line of a song played for a new video featuring 50 Michigan cities.
Harbor Springs Chamber executive director, Daniel DeWindt, said the video shoot is an opportunity to gain added value as a partner of the ongoing campaign. The obvious hope for the video is for publicity and greater exposure.
“But on the grassroots side, it’s an exciting event for locals and resorters to get together and get excited about Harbor Springs,” DeWindt added.
DWindt went on to explain that summer resident, Rob Dube, proposed the idea of gathering watercraft of all sizes to showcase the harbor and all the people that love this town.
Motorized and nonmotor-ized watercraft, including kayaks and paddleboards are welcome.
“We don’t want it to seem ‘yachty,’” DeWindt said with a chuckle. “We are a boat town, but that is not all we are.”
The true hope of bringing people out on the water is to showcase the deepest harbor in the lake and offer a different panoramic view.
“Petoskey is going to have people in front of the water-front, featuring the sunset, but physically being on the

water will be great fun and a unique vantage point,” DeWindt said.
Logistics for the event are still in the works, added DeWindt, who noted the event has many working parts. Because the filmmaker is also filming 50 other cities, a specific time has not been set for the shoot.
“One of our hurdles right now is that we might be able to provide a window of time, rather than an exact time for
people to gather,” DeWindt noted.
The video shoot is cur-rently scheduled for Sunday evening.
Volunteers will be a key component to the success of the event. So far Josh Baker, owner of the Outfitter, has volunteered to help retain paddle boards, and other non-motorized watercrafts. Volunteers are also needed to coordinate the gathering of boats and safety logistics.
Community members can help to promote the event by bringing families and friends to the event and posting on social media sites like Face-book, DeWindt added.
Future communication with participants will be vital for coordination of boats and times, and those interested in participating are asked to email Daniel DeWindt at [email protected].

An update on trail work being done throughout the area was recently provided by HARBOR Inc. executive director Rachel Smolinski. There are three trail projects currently being started or completed near Harbor Springs.
The Safe Routes to School trail, also known as the Hoyt Road Trail, was approved for construction during a late July HARBOR Inc. board meeting, despite more than a $20,000 shortfall. Smolinski said she is pleased to note that short-fall has been reduced to just $9,300, thanks to generous support from the community.
“I will continue to pursue various funding sources for the remaining amount in
order to meet our obligation in October. In the meantime, an on-site utility meeting occurred last week. I have been assure that we will see the beginning of activity on Hoyt Trail by Monday, August 20th,” she said.
Approximately 300-feet of future trail on the Little Traverse Wheelway will be built to serve as a connector at Kosequat Park. The trail will be located through the wooded area behind the Bay Bluffs facility, where there is an existing dirt path. It will connect a trail-head area in the park with the Little Tra-verse Wheelway.
“We are working in collabo-ration with the Top of Michi-gan Trails Council to include directional signage connect-ing the trail with downtown Harbor Springs and Hoyt Trail. Additional safety signage will be included as needed,” Smo-linski reported.
Trail plans and additional funding were approved by Harbor Springs City Council on Monday, August 6th, with bid requests going out to local contractors on August 12th.
“We expect bid back within the next week and a half; therefore, construction may begin sometime in Septem-ber,” she added.
The last project Smolinski provided an update for, clos-ing the “Wequetonsing gap” on Little Traverse Wheelway, has been a safety-related top priority since the trail was put into place.
“The pre-construction meeting for this project was at the Gaylord MDOT office last Wednesday (August 8),” she said.

Concert benefits First Tee programMichigan attorney turned ‘Michigan’s best’ in boogie, Matthew Ball ,will heat up the piano ivories for a great cause Sunday, August 19 at 8 p.m., when he joins with The First Tee of Boyne Highlands to present an all American fam-ily friendly concert of swingin’ blues, boogie-woogie & rag-time piano music at the John Hall Auditorium in Bay View, Michigan.
This concert is being brought to Bay View by The First Tee of Boyne Highlands, a local 501 (c)(3) non-profit. Proceeds from this special musical event will go toward
programming expenses for this youth development orga-nization. The First Tee offers programs designed to impact the lives of young people by providing educational pro-grams that build character, instill life-enhancing values and promote healthy choices through the game. Partici-pants discover how skills es-sential to success on a golf course can ultimately lead to greater achievements in life. The First Tee of Boyne High-lands was formed in October of 2005 and has been officially recognized as one of over 200 chapters of The First Tee. Over
2,000 area youth have been introduced to the life and golf skills program since incep-tion. For more information, visit www.thefirstteeboyne-highlands.org
To order tickets, visit www.bayviewfestival.tix.org. To purchase tickets in person, the Bay View ticket office at Voorhies Hall is open 9:30 AM - Noon, Monday through Saturday. Tickets will also be available one hour before the performance at the door. Tickets are $35 for reserved seating and $22 for general admission.
Two local United Ways will host the 5th Annual ‘Stuff the Bus’ event on Saturday, Aug. 18, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Char-Em United Way will have a school bus at each of the K-Mart Plazas in Petoskey and Charlevoix and Otsego United Way, who is teaming up with ServPro of Gaylord & Cheboygan, will have buses at K-Mart, Wal-Mart, and Glen’s in Gaylord. Cheboygan Unit-ed Way will also be holding a “Stuff the Bus” event at the K-Mart Plaza in Cheboygan on Friday, August 17.
Extra expenses for school are difficult for many families due to the current economy. Area United Ways are asking our communities to collect and donate school supplies-for our local children. “We want to make sure that every child has the supplies they need to succeed in school,” said Lisa Luebke of Char-Em United Way. “Cuts in school budgets and the struggling economy have left many local kids and schools in need of the basics like crayons, pencils, paper and scissors.”
To make it easy for people to give, select businesses throughout Charlevoix, Em-met, Otsego and Cheboygan Counties will have drop-boxes available from August 1stthrough the 20th. As an ex-tra incentive, Char-Em United Way will have a raffle drawing for those dropping off dona-tions. The grand prize will be two tickets to Avalanche Bay Indoor Waterpark (one prize for Petoskey K-Mart and one
for Charlevoix K-Mart loca-tions.)
Shoppers can get a list of suggested school supplies and drop box locations by going to United Way’s website at www.charemunitedway.org orwww.otsegounitedway.org. The distribution of school supplies to students in need will be coordinated with each United Way’s local school districts.
Char-Em United Way is also excited to launch their participation in the nation-ally acclaimed, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library as part of their Education Initiative. Information on the program and registration will be avail-able at Petoskey and Charle-voix K-Mart locations during Stuff the Bus.
To volunteer for the event, contact Casey or Lisa at 487-1006 or [email protected] in Char-Em or Carol at 989-705-8584 in Otsego County.

Raymond Turner Peters of St. Louis, MO. and Harbor Springs, passed away Tuesday, August 7, 2012 at the age of 88.
Turner had summered in Harbor Springs his entire life. Over the years he lived in West Wequetonsing, Roar-ing Brook and finally settled in Marina Village.
Turner loved Harbor Springs. In his lifetime he saw many changes to the area but none that altered its essential appeal . . . its beauty, its simplicity, its image and sense of family and tradition.
Husband of the late Mary Bowman Peters; father of Raymond W . Peters II (Cynthia) and Elizabeth Peters Schiff (Peter); grandfather of Eleanor Bergquist (Leif), Amanda Peters, J. Turner Peters (Julie), Edward Schiff (Molly), James Schiff (Tyler) and Christie Schiff; great-grandfather of five; brother of Emelie Liebendorfer (Nils) and the late Margaret Chamness (James T. Chamness M.D. surviving).
Memorials appreciated to Little Traverse Conservancy, 3264 Powell Rd., Harbor Springs, MI 49740 or to Siteman Cancer Center, Box 8100, St. Louis, MO 63110.

You can accuse me of wax-ing on ad nauseam on the reasons that I like living here; I wouldn’t deny it. I heard a couple of stories recently that confirmed again for me that it isn’t just my rose colored glasses but that we are hon-estly surrounded by incred-ible people. The charm of this area is not the shops or even the views; it is the people.
Mary Lou Thayer called and asked me to express her gratitude for the proverbial “kindness of strangers.” She and daughter Brenda were out walking Taz, their newest fuzzy family member down in Wequetonsing when the dog made an unplanned move, causing Mrs. Thayer to fall and fall hard, strik-ing her head. She said that people came from seem-ingly everywhere to help. Someone offered tissues, her glasses were damaged in the fall and there was a doctor in the crowd who helped put them back to a point where they were wearable. Another gentleman pulled up and offered them a ride back to where they had left their car. Although she didn’t get any names, understandable in that circumstance, she wanted to express her very sincere thanks to all of these kind strangers. (Mary Lou is okay, albeit a little bruised and broken around the edges
and with some recovery time in her future before another walk.)
Another story that warmed my heart recently involved Ally Bonser Warner and her daughter Carrigan. They were on their way back from an appointment at DeVos Children’s Hospital and they stopped at a gas station in Fife Lake. After getting what they needed, they went to pay for their purchases when a woman stepped forward and said she wanted to “pay it for-ward,” she paid their bill and told them to have a nice day.
She told Ally that she does this as often as she can af-ford to and that she tries to find women with children as she was once a single mom herself. On what was un-doubtedly a difficult day for Ally and Carrigan (doctor’s appointments and tests are rarely fun,) this generous act brought a ray of sunshine.
I personally have experi-enced the honesty and good-
ness of people regularly, as I have left my wallet at 7-11 and in my cart at Glen’s (more than once) and I left my purse at the movie theater most recently; always got them back intact. My favorite personal story took place a few years ago. My niece and I were driving to Traverse City to catch a plane, it was about 5:00 in the morning and we stopped at my office in Petoskey for some last minute details. On our way a few moments later and we stopped for something to drink, only to find that my purse with our plane tickets and several hundred dollars in cash was no longer in the car. Apparently it had fallen out when we stopped at my office.
The police station wasn’t manned at that time of the night, so we drove around and found a police car, plan-ning to have him call dispatch and see if by chance the purse had been turned in. He was on the phone/radio when we got there and believe it
or not, he was speaking with a citizen who had been out jogging, found the purse and was calling to have the police pick it up. We drove a block or two to where the gentle-man lived, got the purse and were on our way, all in about fifteen minutes. He was very gracious and wouldn’t accept a reward, but he did save our vacation and I am forever ap-preciative of that.
The Pollyanna in me believes that, for the most part, people everywhere are fundamentally good, but the realist in me knows that my odds of getting my wallet back are much better here than if I left it on the subway in New York City. This is yet another reason that I am happy to be living in Northern Michigan.
The kindness and gener-osity of the area will again be tested this weekend with a fund raiser for Meghan McKinney Vanhorn at Nub’s Nob from 3-8 this Saturday. Meghan is suffering from a
yet to be diagnosed illness and any help for her and her family will be appreciated. I know there have been absolutely wonderful gifts donated for both silent and live auctions; there will be food, carnival for the kids and entertainment.

The Great Lakes Chamber Or-chestra will stage two musical performances in Charlevoix and Petoskey this month.
On Sunday, August 19, in Charlevoix, the orchestra will give a free performance at 3 p.m. in the band shell on the waterfront. The performance is underwritten by the Char-levoix County Community Foundation.
On Saturday, August 25, the orchestra will be joined by the Crooked Tree Arts Center’s Pre-Professional Dancers for a performance at 7 p.m. in John M. Hall Auditorium in Bay View. The Saturday evening concert will feature the original “Peterboro Let-ters Ballet” premiered by the orchestra last year.
The chamber orchestra commissioned Heather Raue, the Crooked Tree Art Center’s director of dance, to create a new ballet based on the music of northern Michi-
gan composer Lynn Palmer Warren and the lithography of northern Michigan artist Betty Beeby. Warren’s music was inspired by Beeby’s litho-graphs that were based on a collection of letters from 1904 that she had found in a trunk owned by her father. The letters had been written by a 43-year-old single woman who had recently been re-united with her 26-year-old son who her family had told her had died shortly after his
birth. Two other works will be
featured at the Bay View concert. Violinist Yuri Nam-kung will perform “The Lark Ascending,” a romance for violin and orchestra written by Ralph Vaughan Williams, and pianist Tony Patterson will perform two Chopin piano compositions, Waltz #14 in E Minor and Nocturne in C Sharp Minor. Members of the ballet troupe will provide dance accompaniment for
both works. Ms. Namkung is an Interlochen Arts Academy music faculty member; Mr. Patterson is on the music faculty at Alma College and Bay View.
General admission tickets for the Bay View concert cost $20; $10 for students. They can be purchased on line through TREATickets.com, at the Crooked Tree Arts Center, at the chamber orchestra of-fice at 438 East Lake Street in Petoskey or at the door. Reserved seating tickets for the Bay View event cost $50 and $25. Call 231-487-0010 or emailexecutivedirector@
glco.info to purchase reserved seating tickets. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Dance Scholarship Fund at the Crooked Tree Arts Center.
At the free concert on Au-gust 19 in Charlevoix, the or-chestra will perform the “Pe-terboro Letters Ballet” music without the ballet troupe. The concert will also feature Yuri Namkung’s performance of “The Lark Ascending” and an orchestral piece, the Holdberg Suite, Op. 40, by Edvard Grieg.
Both concerts will be under the direction of Tom Rico-bono of the Interlochen Arts Academy.

As an unknown writer said, “When work, commitment andpleasure all become one and you reach that deep well wherepassion lives, nothing is impossible”. The volunteers of theWomen’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan, Inc. (WRC)are a shining example of how passion translates intopossibility. The WRC was founded in 1977 by communitymembers who had a dream of building an agency committedto equality, justice and the well-being of women in NorthernMichigan. Their passion bloomed into the formation of theorganization’s multitude of human service programs andlives on 33 years later through the hard work andcommitment of the many volunteers who continue to activelysupport the agency.
During National Volunteer Week, April 18-24, the WRCcelebrates the many accomplishments of our volunteer team.Over 4,800 hours of service were donated to the agency in thepast year through the dedication of our volunteers. Ourvolunteer staff support families at the Safe Home, ring upsales and stock merchandise at the Gold Mine Resale Shops,serve on the Board of Directors, assist with agency mailings,answer the 24-hour crisis phone line, style hair at the SafeHome, do facility upkeep and maintenance, and otherimportant tasks.
Our volunteers touch the lives of hundreds of individualsand families served by the WRC in Antrim, Charlevoix,Cheboygan, Emmet, and Otsego counties. Last year alone, theWRC provided safety and advocacy to 595 victims of domesticabuse in Northern Michigan including 2,727 nights ofhousing provided to 167 women and children at the SafeHome. The support of our volunteers plays a critical role inthe agency’s ability to provide these vital services to those inneed. We salute the passion and possibility that WRCvolunteers bring to our organization and community!

Thousands of children and adults lost their lives to per-tussis – commonly known as “whooping cough” – each year, in the years before effec-tive vaccines became readily available. But despite today’s proven success and availabil-ity of pertussis vaccination, many people remain unvac-cinated, which places them at extreme risk of contract-ing and spreading this highly contagious bacterial disease.
“The most important thing parents can do to protect their children from illnesses like pertussis is to get their infants vaccinated, and fol-low the schedule for booster doses as their babies grow,” advised Joshua Meyerson, M.D., medical director for the Health Department of North-west Michigan. Dr. Meyerson added that, although vaccina-tion has substantially reduced the number of pertussis cases, the disease remains a threat.
“It can be a very serious illness,” he said. “It’s also im-portant for family members of young babies to get a per-tussis booster shot, so they’re protected from the illness and don’t pass it on to infants.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), increased pertussis activity or outbreaks were reported in a majority of U.S. states during the first half of 2012. The agency says nearly 18,000 cases have been reported nationwide so far this year – more than twice the number reported in 2011 – and nine infants have died.
In April, the state of Wash-ington declared a pertussis epidemic.
The CDC also noted that more than half of the infants who contract pertussis at less than one year of age require hospital care. Dr. Meyerson said infants should receive four (4) doses of pertussis vaccine by the time they reach 18 months of age, and recommends a routine booster dose before they begin kindergarten. He also warns that the protection offered by diptheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTaP) boosters can fade over time, meaning pre-teens (starting routinely at age 11) should get a DTaP dose. Adults who did not receive a DTaP dose in their earlier years – particularly healthcare workers, or those who are around infants, in-cluding relatives and daycare providers –should also obtain a booster dose as soon as possible.

With an ingrained knowl-edge of the mechanics of sailing, and many years of on-water experience, Wilderom ran the LTS sailing school from 1971-2005. One of her biggest motivations for run-ning LTS for so long? The many fond memories she has of being out on the water, and the freedom that came with knowing how to sail well at an early age.
“I’ve had wonderful times growing up sailing,” she said “I naturally want to share that with somebody else.”
From the start, LTS was a popular program, and has only continued to grow each year. By the time Wilderom retired, sail school was limited to 30 kids in the morning and 30 in the afternoon.
Scholarships for the week-long sailing sessions have al-ways been high on Wilderom’s list. She said she highly values giving kids in the area an op-portunity to sail, particularly those who may not have oth-erwise have access to on-wa-ter opportunities. Currently, LTS supports scholarships for 12-15 local students.
During her 35 years, Wilderom cemented the foundational beliefs of LTS, grounding strong ethics into sailing and racing. This di-rectly correlated with one of the first lessons she taught: a respect for the water.
“I have an honest respect for the water and love of it too,” she said, noting safety is key.
For Wilderom, going down to the sailing school every day was a true labor of love.
“It was fun; you felt like you were doing something significant in the kids lives,” Wilderom said. “It was love at first sight, it was the most wonderful job and I never had a bad day.”
Not only did Wilderom teach the students about sail-ing, she taught them many life lessons as well.
“They learn to deal gra-ciously with the ups and downs of life. Competition is good, but for a kid, I think sailing needs to be more than just winning,” Wilderom said.
Her brother, Irish Boat Shop owner, Dave Irish, said Wilderom set a tone for LTS that promoted a true passion for boating.
“The kids always came first for Ann in the program,” he said.
All of Wilderom’s contribu-tions have helped the school remain a staple activity for a whole new generation of students.
“That’s fun for me, to see those former students of mine coming back with their children for sailing school,” Wilderom said. “I don’t think the sailing school has ever been stronger than it is today.”

Construction will begin shortly after Labor Day, with clearing and construction of the small retaining wall by the Golf Club. Construction on the boardwalk and bike path will begin in mid-September through the beginning of November.
“As a result of this path, four large oak trees in the vicinity of the retaining wall will be cut down,” Smolinski stated, adding, “I assure you that HARBOR, Inc. has done everything within our power to save these trees, but in the
end it is an issue of safety. Wequetonsing Golf Club has been incredibly generous in working with us on this project, and we unfortunately cannot ask them, nor can we expect them to give us more of an easement, in order to circumvent the oak trees.
“Given the granted ease-ments, we will have just enough space to construct the path to meet MDOT safety requirements. Any further delays may result in loss of funding for the project and ultimately no bike path.”
on-going maintenance and repair which when included in the cost, raises the total expense of the pool to an average of $274,000 per year. During the last five years, the district has expended $ 1.3 million dollars on operating and maintaining the pool.”
Tompkins said a commit-tee, headed up by athletic director Dave Iafolla, has been created to campaign for the community pool millage.
“We’re hopeful the com-munity will support this im-portant resource,” he noted.
Education meeting-- which included a 50 minute closed session to discuss legal opin-ion-- Scholten was officially removed from her position as elementary principal. Schol-ten finished out her contract with the Harbor Springs Public Schools before filing the lawsuit.
The school district, through superintendent Mark Tomp-kins, issued the following prepared statement.
“The district is aware of the lawsuit. Although we were not
expecting it, especially after the EEOC (equal employ-ment opportunity commis-sion) and MDCR (Michigan department of civil rights) investigated and did not act on Ms. Scholten previous dis-crimination charges against the district. We do not believe that we have violated any of Ms. Scholten’s legal rights. However, because this is now a matter of pending litigation, the district will answer the allegations through the court process.”

Replacing the doors and adding more bars for air flow will make for a much more comfortable environment for horses and fair-goers who tour the barns, Shaw said.
Other organizations that contributed to the $26,000 project include 4H, Northern Michigan Dust Control of Charlevoix, and both Char-levoix and Emmet County Commissioners.
New this year, an ATV and side-by-side competition will be added to the Tough Trucks grandstand event on Thursday, August 23. The Monster Truck Shoot Out
will be moved into the week of the carnival on August 25 to provide other activities for spectators before or after the event. There will be no demo-lition derby event this year, due to a lack of “clunker” cars.
For the third year, Manna Food Project, along with Gibby Fries and Skerbeck Carnival, have donated 300 gate passes and ride tickets for local families.
“We know that it’s hard to get by sometimes, which is why we try and keep the fair inexpensive and have not to raise ride or gate prices this year,” Shaw noted.

Through the generosity of the Dorothy Gerber Family, Crooked Tree Arts Center will be offering strings classes for the youth orchestra program and in the schools again this fall! The strings program is celebrating its 13th season for offering classes to students in northern Michigan. Last season over 500 students from Charlevoix, Emmet, and Antrim counties participated in the program.
Crooked Tree Youth Orches-tra classes are scheduled to begin on Monday, September 17th. The Crooked Tree Youth Orchestra program consists of three main ensembles includ-ing the Concert Orchestra class, which is primarily for string players with at least two years of playing experience, and the Chamber Orchestra
for the advancing high school and adult players.
The Symphony Orchestra includes strings members from the Chamber Orchestra with the addition of stu-dents that play wind, brass, or percussion instruments. Students that participate in the Symphony Orchestra are given exposure to music writ-ten by composers, such as Mozart and Beethoven, which was intended to be performed by an ensemble with a blend of string instruments and wind, brass, and percussion instruments. Last fall, the Symphony Orchestra was able to purchase percussion equipment for the program with a grant from the Char-levoix County Community Foundation.
Also happening this Sep-
tember, orchestra directors Robert Dudd and Jennifer McAndrew will be visiting Char-Em ISD area schools to demonstrate strings instru-ments and enroll beginning students in Dorothy Ger-ber Strings Program in the Schools.
“What’s great about the Dorothy Gerber Strings Pro-gram is that there is no cost for families to register their children in the class,” McAn-drew said. “The students do need to provide their own in-strument which they can rent through one of the several music companies that service our program. Crooked Tree also provides scholarships to families that need financial assistance in paying for the rental of the instrument, mak-ing it possible for every child
to have the opportunity to be a part of our program.”
Strings classes are offered to students third grade through high school.
A Homeschool class will also be available to home school families in the area. On Monday, October 1st at 11:00am there will be a meet-ing for all home school stu-dents interested in enrolling in the strings program. Please contact Crooked Tree Arts Center regarding registration for the Youth Orchestra and String program classes of-fered in the schools at (231) 347-4337 or by visiting the Crooked Tree Arts Center website at www.crookedtree.org.

Barnwell Boat Works owner, R. Emory Barnwell-- who grew up in Harbor Springs-- will discuss the making of the 14’ sailboat that is currently on display in the Edith Gilbert Gallery at the Crooked Tree Arts Center. His sailboat is part of the Artists of Macki-nac Island exhibition that is currently on display until September 2. After obtaining a degree from the University of Montana from the College of Forestry and Conserva-tion, he next attended the International Boatbuilding Training College in Lowestoft, England to study traditional wood boat construction and restoration, building classic plank-on-frame boats with time-tested, proven methods and materials.
One of Barnwell’s first challenges out of boatbuild-ing school was the two year
restoration of the Bernida, a Great Lakes Champion sail-ing vessel that was designed by George Owen and built by George Lawley in 1921. The Bernida was the first boat to win the Bayview to Mackinac race in 1925. On display in the Edith Gilbert Gallery is a boat the Barnwell complete this March with classic handcraft-ed boatbuilding techniques.
The Coffee at Ten series is free and open to the pub-lic. The Crooked Tree Arts Center is located downtown Petoskey at 461 E. Mitchell Street. For more information please call the Arts Center at (231) 347-4337 or visit www.crookedtree.org. This pro-gram supported in part by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs.

The days are getting shorter and the weather is getting cooler....and Wednesday, August 15 is National Re-laxation Day! What better place than the market to take some time to stroll, listen to music and meet your friends for conversation and fun? Our music will be provided by Dwain Martin’s group, a special favorite of ours from winter market. We’ve had the best weather this year, almost unbelievably so, and it looks
to continue for us this week. On Saturday, August 18, the Straits Area Geocachers will be with us. If you haven’t yet been geocaching, this is your chance to learn a little more about this fantastic family activity, all you need is a GPS and a computer and you are set to have some great fun in the woods. Everyone can participate, from youngsters to grandparents.
If you have been waiting for peaches, wait no more! And
don’t wait too long....we have them but supply this year is limited because of early sea-son weather. While supplies are short, the peaches on offer are juicy bits of heaven, come check it out. Wild blueberries are still with us in full force and make the most amazing contribution to anything you add them to. While strolling Street Musique last week, we were able to sample them on vanilla gelato....mmmm-mmm!
Farmers marketAnd for just a little heads
up...on Wednesday, Septem-ber 22 we will be doing a School Supply Drive. Bring school supplies to help out those kids who are not able to get everything on that list this year and get a little sweet thank you from the market. Shop now, throw a little extra in your cart and sweeten a child’s first day of school.
There are only a couple more Wednesdays until Labor Day, and then we go to only Saturdays to mid-October. Make the most of the fresh goodness we still have!
Meet you at the market,Cyndi Kramer
Harbor Springs City Council is looking for local citizens to help the City become a Tree City USA participant.
Developing a “Tree Board” is one of the four criteria to be met if the City is to take the step to becoming a “Tree City”.
The Arbor Day Founda-tion’s “Tree City USA” is a program for cities that want to develop community plans, programs and policies to protect and enhance their ‘urban forest’ and make theirs a more attractive and healthy community.
At the August 6 meeting of City Council, city man-ager Tom Richards briefed the Council on the benefits and opportunities of becoming an official Tree City. He also advised Council of the four key requirements of joining
the program. Tree City com-munities must:
· Establish a Tree Board or department
· Develop an ordinance for the proper maintenance and regulation of trees in the City
· Create a community forestry program to help in-crease, manage and care for the City’s trees
· Annually recognize Arbor Day through a local event or proclamation
Council reviewed the many efforts that member cities use to help promote a more desir-able and sustainable com-munity. They considered the positive steps already taken in managing the City’s trees and they expressed interest in pur-suing the Tree City format for an even more comprehensive effort that would be guided by the public.
Council members recog-nized the critical role that local citizens can have in determining the best path toward enhancing and man-aging the City’s trees, but they also expressed concern that a small community like Harbor Springs may not have enough interested local citizens who would be willing to commit the time and effort neces-sary to establish a productive citizens’ Tree Board. Council agreed that it should reach out to the public to see if a Tree Board is a viable option in Harbor Springs.
Mayor Dika encourages all citizens interested in serving on a Harbor Springs Tree Board to contact him at: [email protected] or by calling City Hall at 231-526-2104.

Hallelujah, a mature love story and one that is able to push all the right buttons. Nothing makes me happier than a movie that genuinely touches an array of emotions and this one made me laugh, made me a little embarrassed and even a little choked up a couple times.
Kay (Meryl Streep) and Arnold (Tommy Lee Jones) have been married for a long time, thirty some years, and to say that the romance is gone would be the understatement of the century. When you receive household appliances for anniversary gifts, that’s a good indication there is an issue. Kay cooks the same breakfast every day, Arnold eats it while reading the paper (there is no communication,) dinner is the event of the day and then he falls asleep in his chair while watching the golf channel. They sleep in separate rooms.
Kay is lonely and sad and desperate, which drives her to a bookstore to look for help to jazz up her marriage. What she finds is a book whose author offers a one week intensive counseling course in a quaint little town in Maine and she spontaneously signs them up for it. Arnold, who thinks their marriage is fine, doesn’t want to go but realizes that he has to if he wants to preserve the relationship. (Besides, I should mention that he is incredibly cheap and doesn’t want to lose their deposit.)
Dr. Feld (Steve Carell, in an incredibly restrained perfor-mance) forces them to confront issues long ignored and to actually talk to one another. What happens is sometimes joyous, sometimes incredibly sad (and sometimes very clumsy.)
Streep is so consistently good that she probably isn’t as appreciated as she should be, it just seems so effortless to her. Watching her trying to learn to be “sexy” is a hoot. Jones is extraordinary in this role. He is vulnerable yet funny, aggravating and closed off, yet sensitive at just the right moments. At times, he almost seems to channel Walter Matthau in Grumpy Old Men.
The story is interesting and the dialogues are believable. Streep has one line that expresses what is felt by so many people in this sort of relationships; she talks about how lonely she is and that she believes she would actually be less lonely if she were in fact alone.
There are several familiar faces in small, almost cameo appearances including Jean Smart as Kay’s friend, Mimi Rogers as the neighbor and, in a great little bit, Elisabeth Shue as a bartender.
This movie is not for kids. Very light on profanity, no violence or actual nudity, but as you can guess from the subject matter, there are many sexual situations and very frank conversations. I sat with an old friend and though I can assure you that neither of us is a shrinking violet, we still commented on the explicitness in some scenes.
