Welcome to Pentwater

Maybe I am five in the year I finally have enough courage to climb up and hang on the white wooden railing of the bandstand. It’s a Thursday evening in August, and I can see the sun, round as an orange beach ball, at the end of the channel, starting to fall into Lake Michigan. The band is playing “Won’t You Come Home Bill Bailey?” I’ve just fortified myself with a drink of water at the top of the hill on the village green. I love the way the stream runs perpetually from the community fountain, which stands on the sidewalk in front of the enclosed tiny white clapboard information booth. Inside, Esther Hodges Dempsey answers adult visitors’ questions.

But it’s the children who reign on this evening. The little ones dance in front of the bandshell. Some like me hang on the railing making eye contact with the volunteer musicians. Older kids commence running unabashedly at the start of every tune and stop in their tracks when they hear the horn-honking applause from the old people parked in their cars behind the bandshell. Twelve year-old boys climb the ancient maple tree nearby. The girls plant themselves at the bottom of the hill below Esther’s fort, twirling their batons and tossing them into the air. It’s vacation 1950s, and parents casually stand or sit on the ground, en-

joying the music and conversation, while the kids... well, are just kids.

What’s a little unusual is that we don’t really know each other. We might learn a few first names that night, and if we’re lucky, perhaps we’ll recognize someone at the beach the next day. But many of us will be on our way home by Saturday, so the connection is ephemeral.

Now six decades later, the term “whirling dervish” comes to my mind when I think of my childhood band concert nights in Pentwater. I consult my dinosaur collegiate dictionary, and find I have stretched the literal definition: “one that whirls or dances with or as if with the abandonment of a dervish, a member of a Muslim religious order noted for devotional exercises.” I suppose in a way that’s what we kids were doing on those Thursday nights.

In recent years I‘ve met a couple of the girls who must have been there relishing the abandonment with me. I imagine us running together until the playing of “Good Night, Ladies” and “Taps,” when we were expected to find our parents in the onset of darkness and mosquitoes.

The three of us are close friends now, all in our mid-60s, retired educators and residents of Pentwater, with fond childCONTINUED ON PAGE 20 PENTWATER THIS WEEK 1

I Call of the

WILD

BY MARY BETH CRAIN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

2 PENTWATER THIS WEEK

If St. Francis is the patron saint of the animals, Kathy Babbin could be St. Francine.

For the past 23 years, the Pentwater resident has dedicated herself to rescuing and rehabilitating creatures of the wild at Misty Bend Wildlife Refuge, her sanctuary located way back in the woods off of Wayne Road.

Misty Bend’s 140 acres is home to Kathy, her husband, John, and a steady parade of furry residents, both wild and domestic. As president of Oceana County Animal Friends, Kathy also rescues and rehabilitates abandoned dogs and cats—giving a new meaning to the term “menagerie.”

“In the summer, I have an average of 55 animals I’m caring for,” she calculates.

To say it’s a full time job is a true understatement. It’s actually like working

three full-time jobs. When you count maintaining her home and acreage and 16 rentals, you’d need a slew of Kathys, like that TV commercial about the woman who gets everything done in her life by creating four clones of herself.

“I’m 71 and my husband is 75,” notes Kathy. “From spring when you get the abandoned and injured wildlife, to fall when you can release them, it’s 24-7. I couldn’t do this without donations and the wonderful volunteers who help out.

But there are never enough volunteers, and I end up doing the majority of the work.”

How is anybody’s guess. Not only is Babbin working a bone crushing schedule that would exhaust someone half her age—she’s a cancer survivor who currently suffers from an autoimmune disorder; whose liver once failed; and who JUNE 16 - JUNE 30

“can’t get around like I used to” thanks to double knee replacements.

But nothing can deter this dedicated woman. As long as there are endangered and abandoned animals out there who need her help, she’s up at the crack of dawn, fixing the milk bottles, feeding the critters, cleaning their cages, doing their laundry, tending to the sick charges and getting the healthy ones ready to be released back into the wild, making trips to the vet, and taking dogs and cats all over the county for adoption events...

A typical day starts at 6:30 a.m.

“I get up, have my coffee and my breathing treatment, because I’m allergic to animals,” Babbin nonchalantly comments.

“Well, it’s one of those things. I

don’t let it get in the way. Then I fix the bottles for the morning feedings.

We bottle feed all the babies with warm lamb’s milk replacer, in different amounts, except for the possums, who get soybean milk that we syringe feed them because they can’t suck. As soon as the baby animals are old enough, we introduce solid foods. For instance, we add baby rice cereal to the raccoons’ milk. Then we gradually soak pet food for them. And finally, we give them the food they’d eat in the wild—eggs, ber-

Bicycle Law 101 With the addition of the “Bike Share Program” in Pentwater the Pentwater Police Department is attempting to raising awareness of the bicycle laws via its Facebook page.

Bike sharing program underway in Pentwater In an attempt to make Pentwater more “bicycle friendly” the Pentwater Police Department has partnered with the Pentwater Downtown Development Authority (DDA) to promote the use of bicycles in the village.

Pentwater residents and visitors now have access to a handful of bikes to use freely as they travel through the village as part of new “Bike Share Program.”

Pentwater Police Department by resolution of the village council made available several bikes which had been recovered and unclaimed. The DBA has fixed the bikes and marked them as part of the program. Each bike features teal strips of tape around its frame and a placard housing the Village of Pentwater logo.

The bikes can be used by anyone in the village according to organizers. All that is asked is that the bikes be returned to one of the two bike share racks. Racks are located at the Pentwater Village Marina and Channel Lane Park.

There is no cost for using this program. Bikes as well as bike helmets can be found at either location.

In addition to the Bike Share Program a new “Cycle Aid Station” is being installed near the public rest rooms at 326 S. Hancock St. The aid station includes tools to fix a bike as well as an air hose, available 24 hours a day, to fill tires.

The police department is also reminding cyclists that they need to follow the rules of the 4 PENTWATER THIS WEEK

road at all times, stay off the sidewalks and always remember to wear a helmet.

Anyone with question can contact the Pentwater Police Department at 869-4630.

Operating on Sidewalks: The Village of Pentwater has an Ordinance (70.02) that follows: (A) No person 10 years old or more shall operate a bicycle on any public sidewalk.

(B) Persons less than 10 years old shall not operate bicycles on the public sidewalks adjacent to Hancock Street between Fifth Street and Lowell Street from May 15 through Sept. 15 each year.

10th annual ‘Fusion Fashion Show’ June 26 Pentwater’s classic fashion event will celebrate 10 years Friday evening, June 26 as the Fusion Fashion Show, hosted by Craze boutique, takes over the village green.

The inaugural Fusion kicked off in June of 2006 as a collaboration of two Pentwater natives fresh out of college with fashion degrees and a mutual vision to bring their hometown Pentwater community a playful, family-friendly fashion show. Fusion showcased summer looks curated and available for sale at Craze and original designs by designer and Pentwater native Graham Sanford. After the final bow, it was evident that Fusion would be an annual event.

Over the last 10 years of collaboration between producers Graham Sanford and Laura Nugent, Fusion has grown to include local surf boutique Rip Girl and is excited to again partner with Hair Culture salon of Pentwater to feature on-trend summer makeup and runway hair design in the show.

The show is slated to begin at 8 p.m. and is free to attend. Limited seating is provided.

Guests are encouraged to bring blankets or chairs.

Craze will host a VIP after hours shopping event at the boutique immediately following the show. Shop the looks shown throughout the evening and enjoy an in-house 10 percent discount on all purchases in celebration of 10 years of fashion on the lakeshore.

Stroll the galleries of Pentwater Mingle in downtown Pentwater and take in the village’s monthly Gallery Stroll, hosted by the Pentwater Arts Council, Friday, June 26 from 5-8 p.m. Seven interesting and eclectic galleries will open their doors, many providing light refreshments for your enjoyment as you peruse the art.

Participating galleries include, Art on the Town, Kook’s Eye, Jewels by the Sea, Jilly’s Gallery, Marilyn’s Style, Oldewick Post and Petri Gallery.

Visitors who have their “passport” or ticket stamped at each of the galleries are then entered into a drawing to receive a $25 gift certificate redeemable at any of the participating galleries. May’s winner was Tamira Hawkins of Cement City, Mich.

A few of the galleries will be featuring artists during the stroll.

Karen West is the featured artist at Art on the Town. An award winning artist, West, travels throughout the country exhibiting her photography which she mounts on metal. Her work includes beautiful landscapes and also contemporary pieces.

Bonny Waters will be demonstrating her work with molten glass at Jewels by the Sea. Glass beads, which she fabricates, are combined with silver to create one­ of ­a ­kind glass pieces. Raised in the coastal and intermountain west, Walters draws inspiration from the beauty of those areas. Her creations are both whimsical and stunningly beautiful.

Marilyn’s Style will feature Ferrell Cordle, a retired graphic artist with 40 years experience.

Turning to watercolor, his paintings are tight with a technical illustration quality to them.

Cheri Petri has worked hard throughout the winter to expand her gallery and opens the new Petri Gallery, double in size, with a sneak peek of her gallery prior to a grand opening celebration Saturday, June 27.

Artist and art lovers are sure to find enjoyment in this monthly event as they travel from gallery to gallery in lovely downtown Pentwater.

Pentwater teachers, parents and community members joined forces for three days in May 28-30 to help construct the Pentwater Public School’s new playground equipment. The school’s old playground was removed in late November due to concerns about high arsenic levels. Thanks in part to the numerous volunteers who took part, the school was able to save close to $10,000 in installation fees. Volunteers Lisa Davis, Ron Christians and Jim Howell, left, hold one of the playgrounds new slides in place as it is installed. All hands were on deck as a portion of the playground, below, was secured. Pentwater Elementary School students, far left, make their way down the nearly two-story spiral slide on the school’s new playground Monday morning, June 1. Children, bottom center, play on the new playground.

June 2015 Garden of the Month When Laura and Dan Nugent bought their home, 383 S. Rush St., on the corner of Fourth Street, the gardens were overgrown and in need of a remake. Getting plants from friends and neighbors was the start of two new beds in their side yard.

Several growing seasons have passed, and the beds are now full of iris and red, pink, yellow and white peonies that are just getting ready to put on a show of blooms. There is also an herb garden, along with vegetables, that will be ready to harvest later in the season. Between raising their two young boys, Oliver and Atticus, and running their shops downtown, plans are being made to put in a patio and raised beds for vegetables. Needless to say, the Nugents are a busy young family, but it’s good to see that they love their yard and are working to make another beautiful garden in Pentwater.

Treat dad to some high flying fun this Father’s Day Put dad to the test this Father’s Day during the Pentwater Historical Society’s All-U-CanEat Pancake Breakfast featuring Chris Cakes of Michigan Sunday, June 21.

The pancakes are set to start flying at 9 a.m.

Diners won’t just walk up and get a stack of pancakes, they will have to catch them, one by one, on their plate.

“As you take your plate and get nearer to the grill you will be laughing and enjoying the antics of Chris Cakes and Co.,” according to organizers.

The Chris Cakes 8’ grill can cook 48 pancakes every two minutes. Organizers say the men’s record for most pancakes eaten at a Chris Cakes event is 72, while the women’s record is 48.

Chris Cakes hold the Guinness Book of World Records for the most pancakes made in and hour and also for the highest pancake tossed and caught.

In addition to pancakes, sausage, orange juice, syrup and a variety of toppings such as mini-chocolate chips, M&M’s, blueberries and whipped cream will be served.

In the spirit of Father’s Day, there will also be a limited number of grab bags to purchase for dad for a mere $5.

So come to the Pentwater Historical Museum and treat dad to breakfast; $8 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under.

CALL OF THE WILD

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 ries, fish, bugs, acorns—their natural food.”

After the feedings, there are the cage cleanings and laundry.

“We do so much laundry you can’t believe it.

All the towels! And it has to be done twice— once to soak it, and once to wash it.”

Then bottles and bowls have to be cleaned and the various animals tended to for individual needs. There are the drop-offs that suddenly appear and must be incorporated. There are the trips for the feed and other supplies. And the premises must be constantly maintained in all areas from mowing to construction and repairs.

The animals get three daily feedings. “There are nights I almost can’t get through that last feeding because I’m so exhausted,” Kathy admits.

In case you’re wondering if she ever gets a day off, the answer is, almost never.

“Up until last year, every Saturday was spent adopting out pets from Oceana County Animal Friends,” Kathy says. “If there’s an event in Oceana County, we’ll probably be there. We do the Take It to Hart car show, the Mears Art Fair, the Pentwater Art Fair, and if there’s a weekend when there isn’t an event, we’ll probably be in Hansen’s parking lot. I go to all events personally. This is how we place so many animals. We go to the people; they don’t come out here to us.”

In her 23 years as a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, there are only a few animals that haven’t made their way to Kathy’s doorstep.

“We do exclusively mammals. And we’ve had almost every wildlife mammal, except bears and beavers.”

Coyotes, weasels, possum, skunks, squirrels, raccoons, foxes, and of course, deer, are the typical wayfarers upon whom Misty Bend has bestowed a new lease on life.

The current residents include four fawns, six raccoons, three fox kits and three squirrels with four in foster care. In addition, there are four dogs and 10 cats, including three new kittens.

“We have a sanctuary with three pens,” says Kathy. “We have a nursery pen with a heater for the babies. As they get older, we open it up into a second pen, so they have more room to move around. Then we have the woods pen, with trees and logs, where they learn to dodge trees, run quickly, and forage for food.

“We re-seed with grasses every year, so the 18 PENTWATER THIS WEEK

deer can eat what they would naturally.”

At 10 a.m. on a sunny Monday, the four toddling fawns are a sight to behold.

The white-spotted babies mill about in their indoor pen on spindly legs, crying for breakfast.

As Kathy and some volunteers hold out the bottles of warm milk, the fawns fight for the nearest nipple. Once they’ve seized one, they hold on for dear life, sucking frantically.

“They’ll soon be old enough to go outside and feed themselves at the bottle range,” Kathy says, indicating a wooden structure on the lawn with a line of holes where the bottles will be in-

the volunteers can distinguish them.”

Kathy is currently putting out a call for fox kit takeout, aka road kill.

“A rehabber in Hesperia was contacted by someone who saw these little foxes running around. It looked like the mom was not around.

The rehab, which only takes fawns, referred this person to me. So I took them. They’re now about 12 weeks old. At this age, the mother would be feeding them kill that she regurgitates, and bringing in half-live prey for them to play with and get their hunting instinct going.

“Because the kits are big enough to be eat-

serted.

And who knew baby raccoons were so adorable? Swaddled in a towel in Kathy’s arms, a tiny raccoon kit with a head full of soft, spiky hair clings to the bottle with its leathery little fingers, sucking away while Kathy beams tenderly down at the fuzzy infant.

It looks for all the world like a portrait of “Madonna and Child”—with a slight twist.

“Oh, I’m mother,” Kathy acknowledges. “But not for long. We encourage them to be independent as soon as possible, because our goal is to get them back into their natural habitat.

They are not pets. We only give them names so

ing out of a dish, I’m feeding them canine processed food, but soon they’ll be needing the kind of food they’d find in the wild for dinner, such as squirrels and rabbits. We don’t want raccoons—foxes would never eat them in the wild because they’re so vicious. They’ll only eat things smaller than themselves.”

The response to the road kill SOS has been less than enthusiastic.

“I’ve gotten a few donations,” says Kathy.“But people really don’t understand the situation.

CONTINUED ON PAGE 19 JUNE 16 - JUNE 30

CALL OF THE WILD CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18

I’ve gotten messages accusing me of feeding roadkill because I’m too cheap to provide a regular diet. That’s absolutely not the case. I just want to introduce the kits to the food they’ll be finding when they’re out on their own.”

But then there are those supporters who regularly bring welcome food donations to Misty Bend.

“I have wonderful people out there who help me,” Kathy says. “People who fish bring me fish,” says Kathy. “People who have berries bring me berries. I’m so grateful for them.”

Nonetheless, Misty Bend is a wallet buster for the Babbins.

“We operate on food and monetary donations and my hip pocket,” says Kathy. “And we don’t get enough donations. I wouldn’t dare to figure out how much I spend on food a year.

For instance, the lamb’s milk replacer used to be $69 a bag, but it’s currently $89. When I have eight, nine, 10 deer, a bag lasts a week. At the moment, we’re going through three gallons of milk a day. Add to that all other food we need and you have a rough idea of just the food bill.”

Babbin acknowledges that “You either have to be crazy or called to do this.” In her case, it was the latter. She was the executive director of a hospice, working on her MA, when she helped rescue a drowning fawn. That was the day her life changed forever.

“I instantly knew that rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife was what I wanted to do,” she says.

The Babbin family took the animal in and cared for it until it was ready to be released back into the wild. And so began the history of Misty Bend and Kathy’s mission.

“I feel like I’ve been called to do this. And when you’re called, you have to listen. You know, I’ve had people say, why do you want to spend all your time and money on wild creatures? Why don’t you just leave them to nature? And my answer is, when this earth was made, there was a plan, and these guys are part of that plan. So I figure I have to give them a chance.”

There are those painful times, however, when she does have to give in and let nature take over. Like last week, when six of her young charges—three fawns and three raccoons— died of an intestinal disorder.

“That’s when I almost wanted to throw in the towel,” she says, the grief in her voice evident. “It’s been 23 years, and I still beat myself JUNE 16 - JUNE 30

our property and we see a doe and her fawns just standing there, we’ll roll down the window and say, ‘Hi, guys!’ And if they continue to stand there and don’t bolt in fear, we know the mother was one of ours.

And when we rescue an animal from the pound that was going to be euthanized for no better reason than overcrowding, and it gets a home where it’s loved and valued…well, I don’t know if there’s a better feeling.

Babbin holds a raccoon she raised after it was abandoned.

That’s why I keep on goPTW Photo by Andrew Skinner ing. That’s why I’ll be doing this until I can’t do it anymore.” up when we lose one. And I have to realize that Babbin will be at the Pentwater Spring Fest sometimes there’s nothing you can do except to give them a warm place, a full belly and love, Arts & Craft Fair June 20-21 with adoptable dogs and cats from Oceana County Animal even if it’s only in their last hours.”

At the end of the day, however, the joys are Friends. She is currently looking for donations and volunteers for OCAF and Misty Bend. If always greater than the sorrows.

hood memories of the quaint village.

One has lived here all her life; the other grew up in Los Angeles and spent her summers here with her grandparents. I came with my family from St. Louis, Mo. for a couple of weeks each year. We enjoy each other’s company and are involved in community and volunteer endeavors.

We make a point of getting together regularly for outdoor activities, and, yes, we occasionally slip out of the present, reminiscing about our youth and yearning for the unspoiled innocence of our town.

We’re old peas in a new pod. The bandshell has been replaced with a bigger, handicapped accessible one. The tree was taken out by a terrible wind several years ago. Condos and lavish summer homes stand where real cottages used to be. There’s not quite as much room for kids to run with full abandonment when the band strikes up, what with helicop-

ter parents recording images on their phones and scads of tourists anchored in their folding chairs. And it turns out the water fountain wasn’t so perpetual after all, gone by the wayside like the drug store, the grocery, the bakery and the movie theatre.

If you want to see the old pod, there are a few glimpses to be had around town. The original bandshell and information booth are relics carefully saved and placed near the village marina. The Antler Bar has maintained its ability to quench thirst. Ice cream can be had on every block of Hancock Street, where there’s still no traffic light or fast food.

The beach and big lake continue to dazzle and delight.

On Thursday, June 25 the Pentwater Civic Band will strike up its first concert of the season at 8 p.m. I can feel the nostalgic whirling dervish in me start to awaken, ready for the music to begin and for the children to dance.
