JUNE 30 - JULY 7

Rand and Nancy Gee

Welcome to Pentwater

We came to Pentwater like most folks, for a visit. Then we camped here and rented here and finally decided to retire and live here. We were enamored with the quaint village, the lakes, dunes and beautiful sunsets. We dreamed of living here someday. But we didn’t really know the true value of living in Pentwater until we moved here three years ago.

First, the locals call it “Villiagness.”

That charm of a small town with quaint shops on a quaint main street. Restaurants and ice cream stores that stay open on weekday evenings call people to walk Hancock Street, visit with neighbors and meet visitors. The safe environment where kids can be on their own gives them freedom with a strong sense of belonging. Knowing the local village council members, shop owners, and organization members on a first-name basis makes this a tight-knit community where knowing people produces cooperation that helps people and get projects done.

Second, there is a place for everyone and you can be as busy and connected as you want to be. There are a plethora of civic committees, worthy local projects, plus philanthropic and service clubs where people are working to make Pentwater an even better place. The churches

and VFW here are busy caring for many community and individual needs. The artisan center gives craftsmen a place to learn and teach. The library and school are places where stories are told, and children share their lives. Many have discovered that they can quietly run successful home-based businesses while living in a fantastic community without commuting. And for those who want quiet and solitude, there are many cozy places around the village for thinking, reflecting and communing with nature.

Third, the knowledge, skill and experience of people in Pentwater is remarkably deep and wide. All you have to do is ask someone what he or she was doing before coming to Pentwater and an amazing story will expectedly unfold.

There’s an expert somewhere in the village for every problem that arises and innovation keeps us bustling. There is always something interesting to talk about and always people willing to teach and mentor. For those who are curious and love learning, this is the place to be.

Whether you come for a day, a week, or a lifetime, Pentwater is a most unique experience that energizes, renews and expands most everyone.

Pentwater’s Bicycle Sharing Program is a gift to the community

By Mary Beth Crain Contributing Writer

Some people believe that everyone should have a good breakfast. Others believe that everyone should have a good education. And Claudia ResselHodan believes that everyone should have a good bicycle ride.

“I’ve been bicycling all my life,” the trim, energetic Pentwater resident explains. “I have this great photo of me when I was 7, with my two teddy bears strapped to the front and back of my bike. I thought everybody should have a good ride! And I still do.”

That’s one of the reasons ResselHodan, who’s on the board of the Downtown Development Association, proposed the idea of a bicycle sharing program for Pentwater as a joint venture between the DDA and the Pentwater Police Department.

“I got the idea because I know that large cities have bicycle rental stations,” says Ressel-Hodan.“And Pentwater does have bicycle rental businesses.

But I thought, why not provide bikes for free to the community, and operate on the honor system? It won’t hurt the rental merchants because it’s a known fact that bicycles bring more bicycles. So it could only help them.

“I knew that the police were picking up abandoned bikes. So I talked to our chief of police, Laude Hartrum, and he was very excited about having a purpose for those, because they were just taking up space. He also looked at the project as a possible solution, over

2 PENTWATER THIS WEEK

time, to the summer parking problem in the village.”

Ressel-Hodan chose the four best specimens from the bicycle lineup.

Those, along with two bikes donated by community members, comprise the fledgling fleet. Then, she and her brother, Tim Ressel, set to work.

“We refurbished the bikes over the winter. Then Tim made the bike stands and I painted them. Another community member, designer Janet Webber, created the signage for the sharing centers, and some members of the ar-

tisan center made the signs that go on the bikes. And I have a committee of men from the Pentwater Service Club who check the bikes for maintenance.

What I like about it all is that it’s so typically Pentwater. You never do anything alone here.”

Bicycle sharing is simple. The village provides bicycles free of charge for a day to anyone who wants one. There are two sharing stations, at the Pentwater Village Marina and Channel Lane Park, and all you have to do is grab a set of wheels and adhere to the program’s JUNE 30 - JULY 7

Can our congested downtown streets be free at last?

Pentwater Police Chief Laude Hartrum has a dream

motto: “Enjoy, Return, Be Safe.” There’s no signing out and in—at the end of the day, you just bring the bike back to one of the stations. If you need air in your tires, or need to make a minor repair, there’s a cycle aid station in the parking lot of the police department.

“The PPD helped with that project,” says Ressel-Hodan. “Laude has been extremely supportive. There’s an air pump and repair tools, and a bench with arms that you can put the bike on.”

OK. Here’s the obvious question. What’s to prevent someone from just taking off with a bike?

Well, Ressel-Hodan maintains, it’s precisely because Pentwater is such a close-knit community that trust-based program like this can work.

“We haven’t had a theft problem,” she happily reports. “So far all the bikes have been returned. After all, this is Pentwater. And I may be naïve, but I believe that people who like to bicycle aren’t into stealing.”

And Ressel-Hodan is definitely one of those people who likes to bicycle. In fact, that’s an understatement—biking is pretty much her passion.

“Bicycling has always been part of my life,” she reflects. “It’s a big part of our family. When I came to visit from Milwaukee, I’d bring my bike on the Badger and ride here. Right now I’m planning a bicycling trip—I’ll bike to Muskegon, take the ferry to Wisconsin, bike up Wisconsin from Milwaukee to Manitowoc, and take the Badger back.”

The fact that she’s 62 makes such an undertaking that much more amazing.

Pentwater Police Chief Laude HarThe bike sharing program, he retrum believes that bicycle sharing members, was actually the result of could be part of the answer to Pentwa- two separate visions: the DDA’s and the ter’s summer parking woes.

PPD’s.

If this sounds a tad unrealistic, think “Last year we put together a work of Europe.

“In Europe, and around the world, biking and cycling are huge,” Hartrum observes.

But what about the other things we use our cars for?

Like shopping and running errands?

“Well, they still shop in Europe,” Hartrum drily notes.

“So I’m assuming there are ways to make that happen in Pentwater.”

Hartrum is excited about Pentwater’s Bicycle Sharing Program for a number of reasons.

“I think there are a lot of benefits. It helps take stress off the infrastructure for the village. And it offers a number of health benefits.”

Pentwater Police Chief Laude Hartrum displays the tools He should know. Trim, fit located at the village bicycle repair center located next and good-looking, you’d to the Pentwater Police Department. never guess that once upon PTW Photo by Andrew Skinner a time, Hartrum was 70 pounds heavier and headed for some group to promote bicycle use in the serious health problems. village. We wanted to alleviate the sum“I just worked out, counted calories mer parking problems. So we looked at and changed my lifestyle,” he says with ways to put more bike paths in. Then matter-of-face modesty. “Exercise is last winter, Claudia and the DDA indekey.” pendently came up with the idea of the Does he bike? bike sharing program. Since that wasn’t “Some,” he admits. “Mainly I walk and something the PPD could do alone, work out. But biking is a great form of exercise, certainly.”

PENTWATER THIS WEEK 3

Chamber website hosts new ‘Discover Pentwater’ message Pentwater is most often thought of as a beautiful community with amenities like special weekend events, abundant summertime recreation, and great shopping, according to Ron Beeber.

“The state’s massive Pure Michigan campaign says “You’ll want to return to this special place time and time again,” Beeber said. “The notion of making Pentwater one’s homestead is typically down played.”

In an attempt to bolster the area’s population for years to come a number of residents, many of whom had recently relocated to Pentwater, late last year began talking informally about the rich quality of life they have discovered with hopes of re-defining Pentwater’s “brand.”

“There’s a lot more to do throughout the year than anyone ever imagined. The emphasis on tourism didn’t tell the full story, and perhaps wasn’t enough to sustain Pentwater in the future,” said Beeber.

This sparked a broader community-wide collaboration to capture the compelling story of life in Pentwater, and to tell that story in a coordinated way — while assiduously maintaining the charm that keeps people here.

After six months of discussion the group formed a new message that they feel better describes Pentwater as more than just a vacation destination. “Discover Pentwater. Come for a Day. A Week. A Life,” is the title of the group’s new message.

“The Pentwater Chamber of Commerce agreed to prominently carry the new message and Pentwater’s new brand message is now posted at www.pentwater.org,” Beeber said.

The new message begins: “Pentwater, Michigan—the village, township and surrounding area—is more than a quintessential, old-fashioned, laid back community with a rich history on the shores of Lake Michigan’s clear waters and sugar-fine sandy beaches. It’s more than an area that surrounds a 500-acre inland lake that’s fed by a vibrant river. And it’s also more than rows of downtown businesses offering an eclectic mix of shops, places to eat and a village green that’s a centerpiece for many fun events year-round, including a weekly summertime band concert.

To the surprise of many visitors, Pentwater is 4 PENTWATER THIS WEEK

also a great place to make one’s home and to thrive in the community in every season!”

The message goes on to describe the many positives of living and Pentwater and small town life concluding with the saying; “Whether you just come to play in any season or return to stay, you’ll discover a real Lake Michigan vil-

lage atmosphere where good people live and thrive.”

The ‘Discover Pentwater’ section of the website also includes four headings – live, work, play, and create; under each heading are topics such as raise a family, live/age well, volunteer, start a business, work from home, local/regional employment, explore history, events, be an artist/craftsmen and make music.

Some content in this area is still being developed and will soon be added, according to Beeber.

Beeber hopes the next step is for organizations with Pentwater-related websites to post links to the new brand message on the chamber’s website.

The collaborative plans to reconvene sometime in September to assess achievements and prioritize follow-on initiatives.

Miller Scholarship Pie Contest and Auction returns to village green Friday

Pie eating contest slated for 2 p.m.

The Miller Scholarship Pie Contest and Auction will take place on the Pentwater Village Green Friday, July 3 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This fun-filled day begins with the pie contest registration from 8-10 a.m. Following registration, nearly 200 pies will be sampled by judges. Pie contest winners will be announced prior to the pie auction at 3 p.m.

The pie contest is open to all ages and is sponsored by the Pentwater Chamber of Commerce, Pentwater House of Flavors and Marilyn’s Style. Once again, 100 percent of the proceeds from the auction will benefit kids heading to college with $500 scholarships.

Twenty-four scholarships were given to college students in 2014 with over 200 pies entered in the contest or donated for eating. It’s a great way to make a huge difference in helping educating our young men and women.

To enter the scholarship drawing pie makers are allowed to submit the name of one college student per each pie entered in the contest.

Scholarships are open to any student who will be attending college during the 2015/2016 school year. Those who purchase a pie during the auction are also eligible to enter scholarship drawing as well.

The scholarship drawing will take place Saturday, July 4 at noon on the village green.

A number of other activities are planned for the village green prior to the pie auction.

A raffle table featuring items provided by local merchants will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Say ‘Cheese’ Pentwater The Pentwater Arts Council invites area residents and visitors to take part in a “Homecoming Portrait” Saturday morning, Aug. 15 at the village green during Pentwater Homecoming weekend.

“Essentially it will be one large flash-mob type photo at the village green of whoever shows up,” arts council board member Pamela Burdick said.“We will then make the photo into posters and sell later that day,” Burdick added.

“We hope to make this an annual thing. The key to our success will be getting as many people as possible interested in being part of the photo.”

Local photographer Dayna Hasil, with the assistance of a bucket truck from Mike Russell, will take the photo. The photo will then be made into an 11-by-17 inch poster that will be available for sale by the time of the parade that afternoon.

Posters featuring the captioned “Pentwater 2015” will be suitable for framing and will be sold for $10.

Money raised through the sale of the posters will go toward supporting the Pentwater Arts Council, which actively supports the arts in the Pentwater area via summer Gallery Strolls, a Student Art Show, Blooming Arts (in conjunction with the Garden Club), summer and fall concerts, and the Corks and Canvas wine tasting.

“We are calling the event “Say Cheese” and hope to do this on an annual basis so they can be collected for years to come,” Burdick said. ”Anyone and everyone is invited to participate — the more the merrier.”

Free at last Continued from page 3

Claudia Ressel-Hodan displays one of the free bicycle helmets available for use while taking a break from biking around Pentwater.

PTW Photo by Andrew Skinner

Free ride

Continued from page 3 “I feel really free on a bike,” she smiles.

“Sometimes, when I’m on the bike trail, I’ll just break out singing, ‘Oh, what a beautiful morning!’

“I like the simplicity of biking. That’s why I love living in the village. Just hopping on my bike and going wherever, without having to worry about a car.”

It’s an experience she wants others to share, and not only through bike sharing. So, this ever-civic-minded woman is embarking on yet another project: the Oceana Cycling Club.

“It’s just starting up,” she notes. “My friend Denise Pegura and I came up with the idea.

We’ll meet up for long rides, and on Monday nights we’ll meet at the village green at 7 p.m. for short rides through town. Everyone is welcome.”

Although Ressel-Hodan was born and grew up in Milwaukee, Pentwater has always been an important part of her life.

“My grandfather, John Kienny, came here with the logging industry and the railroads, and my mother, Berniece Kienny, grew up here. She married my dad, Ed Ressel, and they moved to Milwaukee, but we came here in the summers. Then in 1977 my parents retired and returned to Pentwater. So then I came almost every year to visit them.”

A licensed psychologist, Claudia and her husband and fellow psychologist, Jerry Hodan, lived in Florida before retiring to Pentwater— an admittedly atypical move.

JUNE 30 - JULY 7

“We did the opposite of what most people do,” she laughs. “We really wanted the beauty of the community, and the four seasons.”

Even the winter? When your poor old bike sits forlornly in the garage, dreaming, like the rest of us, of sweet, carefree spring?

“Oh, I love the winter! I cross-country ski, and snowshoe. We love just sitting by the fireplace. And the artisan center is a great place to be in the winter. I’m learning pottery there.”

What’s her long term vision for the bicycle sharing program?

“I’d like to get a sponsor to bring in some nice coaster bikes that they would donate in return for advertising,” she says. “And of course, just more donations and volunteers.

But my main goal is to make Pentwater a bicycle community.”

While that may be a while in coming, the seeds Ressel-Hodan, the PPD and various community members have planted are already beginning to bear fruit. Even though the program has only been in operation for a matter of weeks, the feedback has been gratifying.

“An older couple told me that they’re really happy about the program because when their grandchildren come to visit, there aren’t enough bikes to go around. But now they can use ours. They said, ‘Thank you for doing this for Pentwater.’

“And one day I saw a young couple having breakfast at Goodstuffs, and one of our coaster bikes was out front. It was a beautiful day and they were just enjoying themselves. It was such a nice scene. And to me, that’s the success of all this.”

combining our efforts was the key to success. We were able to help by releasing some of our recovered bikes to them—we pick up abandoned bikes at places like the state park, Channel Lane (park) and the school and this project was a perfect way to put them to use.”

The DDA and PPD also pooled their resources to create the cycle aid station.

“We’d wanted to do a free air fill station and the DDA wanted a cycle station,” Hartrum recalls.

“So we combined the two and it’s really become a nice package for the downtown area.”

One of the challenges of having more cyclists, Hartrum acknowledges, is educating them in the rules of the road.

“One of the biggest challenges is that bicyclists have to follow the same rules of the road as cars,” he explains. “So we’re working on an education program. We’d love to see everybody wearing helmets and moving with the flow of traffic.

So one of our goals for the next couple of years is educating the public on cycling safety.”

Is he seeing some positive effects yet from the new program?

“Oh yeah,” he nods. “A lot of people come to the back door here with questions and comments, and all have been positive. We’re proud because it’s the first program of its kind that I know of at least in the two counties, Mason and Oceana. And it’s a real community effort. The volunteers coming from the DDA, and the donations, have been critical. Those guys are doing a great job.”
