New Buffalo Township Planning Council opposes changing zoning for manufactured home community

NEWS AND EVENTS

BY THERESE DONNELLY

FROM THE NEW BUFFALO

hile acknowledging a need for affordable housing in the community, the New Buffalo Township Planning Council denied a request to rezone a parcel from agricultural to R-4 residential to allow for a proposed manufactured home community near Hoder Road at a Tuesday, July 10 meeting. Four Leaf Properties originally brought their plans for the development to the township in May and returned for the Planning Commission’s July meeting with more information. Many residents near the 53-acre site attended the meeting to express concerns. Many noted if the 254 homes were built, traffic would increase, and drainage issues could arise. Neighbors also were concerned the planned paths around the property could lead to encroachment onto private property used for hunting. Four Leaf Properties had offered to pay tap in fees and annual ready to serve fees to the township, even with a private sewer system. However, the New Buffalo School Board passed a resolution not to support the development due in part to financial concerns. School Superintendent Jeff Lesley pointed out to the Commission the expected 500 to 700 new residents would increase the number of students at NBAS without proportionately increasing the property taxes to fund these students. Prior to voting, Commissioner Traci Lauricella noted she did not object to lower cost housing but she felt the proposed development was not appropriate for the location and the density of the construction would cause issues. Commissioner David Stumm added he did not see a compelling reason to approve the zoning change request.

‘Scam alert’ issued to southwest Michigan merchants

ecently, the Harbor Country Chamber of Commerce published the following alert: “According to Moody on the Market and Edgewater Bank, an overtly aggressive scam regarding credit card processing equipment is currently being employed against downtown merchants in St. Joseph and beyond. The business community in Michigan’s great southwest is being alerted to an overtly aggressive scam currently being employed against downtown merchants in the St. Joseph central business district and beyond. Edgewater Bank President Rick Dyer issued a “scam alert” Tuesday afternoon that warned merchants to be aware that somebody or potentially a group of people is responsible for trying to convince local businesses that they need to resolve issues with credit card processing equipment by replacing faulty gear with new systems.” The Chamber then published Dyer’s alert, which states: “We have recently learned that there is an individual, or possibly a group, that has made contact with local merchants insisting that they need to change their merchant processing (credit/debit card) company and equipment because their provider is ‘overcharging and being investigated.’ They have used the actual name of the company’s merchant processing provider on the phone call, but that is information that can easily be obtained so it is not a reason to believe the call. The calls are reported to be ‘aggressive’ in nature, with insistence that the merchant make changes immediately. Do not believe the calls! This is a 100 percent fraud, or some unscrupulous salesperson for another merchant processing firm trying to get business through scare and panic tactics. Do not give out any information. Do not provide them with serial numbers from processing equipment. Do not make any changes. It appears there is an attempt to get confidential information to potentially redirect funds. A call directly to a company’s merchant processing company, using the phone number originally provided by the company and not given on the phone by the person calling, should verify that nothing is wrong and no changes are necessary. Several St. Joseph Today member merchants have confirmed receipt of the aggressive calls and demand for action, but fortunately, so far nobody seems to have fallen for the scheme regardless of where it is coming from or how strident the call gets. The business community is encouraged to remain vigilant and educate all staff members regarding the potential for receipt of additional calls going forward and the need to stand firm.” — STAFF REPORTS

Officer charged in non-fatal police chase

uring its regular meeting Wednesday, July 11, the Three Oaks Village Council approved a contract with Moore and Bruggink to research possible updates to the village wastewater treatment system. While oxygen levels in one the of the treatment lagoons have risen since the village began using NaNO2 equipment, the village is still looking for long-term methods to handle possible increased usage in the future due to additional residents or industries moving to the area. The initial research by Moore and Bruggink will include water sampling, researching state permits and DEQ requirements. The Council approved a contract not to exceed $44200, to include lab testing and plans for an IPP. The Council also voted to extend the water sewer service contract with IAI for another year to handle day-to-day functions in the Water Department. A public budget hearing is planned for Wednesday, Sept. 12, prior to the Council’s regular meeting. The tentative budget will be available at the August meeting. The Council voted to recommend the state of Michigan issue a temporary liquor license for the sixth annual Wurstfest, which is set to take place Saturday, Sept. 22.

On May 10, 2018, officers from the Benton Harbor Department of Public Safety responded to a dispatch call at 1:45 am of a man with a lawn mower. Wanting to investigate the possibility of a stolen lawn mower, officers came upon a man on a bike without a head light, a state law and city ordinance violation. The man refused to speak to officers and rode away. Officers attempted to stop the man on the bike with their vehicles by cordoning off an escape path when the man dropped the bike and began running. At this time, patrol officer Steven Johnson, driving a Department of Public Safety squad car, turned into a business driveway/alley in the 100 block of North Fair Avenue after the man ran in that direction. The squad car video reveals that after the man was in the squad car camera view for several seconds, Johnson ran over the man with his vehicle. After being struck, the man, Ronald Glover, Jr., continued to run and was subdued by other officers several feet away. After this incident was brought to the attention of Public Safety Director McGinnis he requested an independent investigation by the Michigan State Police. Michigan State Police from the 5th District Headquarters in Paw Paw then conducted the investigation and submitted the reports, squad car video and body-worn camera video to the prosecutor’s office. Because it is alleged Johnson did this purposefully he is charged with Assault With a Dangerous Weapon, a four year felony. Glover, 25, of Benton Harbor, was transported to Lakeland, treated and released. Glover was on parole at the time and later pled guilty to Resisting and Obstructing a Police Officer and Possession of Marijuana With Intent To Deliver stemming from this incident. He was sentenced on June 25 to 1 year in the Berrien County jail. Johnson, 51, of Sturgis, has since been terminated by the Benton Harbor Department of Public Safety. He was arraigned Wednesday. A personal recognizance bond of $1,500.00 was set. A pre-exam conference was scheduled for July 20, 2018 with a preliminary exam hearing set for July 26, 2018, both at 8:30 am in St. Joseph. The charges are merely accusations and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

‘Order Up:’ Dooley’s Lake House Pub now open for subs and more

BY HOLLY SHULMAN

rom the moment you walk in, you know that Dooley’s Lake House Pub is the real deal. The newly opened casual restaurant at 310 W. Buffalo St. In New Buffalo is quickly becoming a local favorite. Dooley’s has a lot to offer, with a great menu, a cool bar, a family-friendly outdoor beer and wine garden, and a lifetime of restaurant experience in John Dooley, who owns the place along with his wife, Colleen and daughter, Hannah. Dooley’s menu is fresh and plentiful, with a delicious line up of 14 Jersey sub sandwiches. Loaded with meats and cheeses, they are all served on fresh-baked bread with tasty toppings of lettuce, tomato, onion, oil, vinegar, spices and salt and pepper. Dooley’s also features several hearty specialty sandwiches, including a Reuben, an Italian beef and meatball parmesan. There’s also choice of nice-sized salads with highly fresh ingredients, all for a very reasonable price. Can you say Ky Ky? This New Jersey sub, which used to be a local favorite, was first offered here by Shirley Covert in 1984 when the shop was known as Bubba’s Jersey Sub. Dooley wanted to offer it again. “It’s iconic,” he said. “We wanted to bring it back just the same way it was originally made, to honor the tradition and the town.” A very special feature at Dooley’s is the separate bar and outdoor area. Guests can enjoy a nice selection of beer, wine and food in the shady yard with plenty of tables with umbrellas. Adirondack chairs, outdoor games and music (which is sometimes live) make the garden even more pleasant. Customers are already clamoring for Dooley’s to start serving up freshly made, 10-inch, build-your-own pizzas, which are priced from $10-$14.50 depending on the toppings. “Every day, people come in asking us when they can get the pizzas. We’re just waiting to make sure we’ve perfected the staff and training, so that we can make and serve them at their quality best,” Dooley said. John has been working in the restaurant

business since he was a kid. He started at an Irish resort in the Catskills, where he learned to cook from his grandmother. Soon, he was the short-order breakfast cook. From there, he advanced his career to become a chef at many esteemed restaurants throughout the country, including Tavern on the Green. He was general manager at Hugo’s Frog Bar in Chicago before coming here to open Dooley’s. Colleen has paid her dues in the restaurant business as well, working for several years at a San Diego restaurant, where she met John (who was then her boss). He and Colleen say they love New Buffalo and are “so excited to finally be living our dream of opening a restaurant in a small, friendly vacation town like this.” John’s New York restaurant roots show up in his speech, his high energy and his customer-friendly style. He jokes that a little bit of it has been genetically transferred to his daughter and Dooley’s co-owner, Hannah (as she loudly shouts “order up!” over her shoulder into the busy kitchen behind her). “She gets it,” John said. “There’s an old restaurant saying that says it all: ‘Hot food first!’”. At just 16, Hannah said that her takecharge spirit and natural management skills have really contributed to the success of this family-owned operation. Customers have already made the Dooley family feel welcome in New Buffalo, as they said they’ve been surprised at how busy the restaurant has been since opening June 22. “Even while we were still under construction, people kept stopping in. Since we’ve been open, we already have quite a few regular repeat customers,” John said. As one customer leaves, John gives him a broad smile, a wave and a “thank you.” The man shouts back, “Oh you bet - this is becoming our regular Friday night thing.” By fall, Dooley’s will expand to also include coffee, breakfast and baked goods, homemade soups and dinners with specialty entree plates. Dooley’s is open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays and 11 a.m. to midnight on the weekends. For more information, call (269)469-2247.

Bubbles at sunset LINDA HENDERSON IN NEW BUFFALO

r. Bubble-man is livening up the sunsets at the New Buffalo beach with his bubble-blowing apparatus and his devil stick juggling, which he demonstrates on his own homemade creations. Brad Vanschoyck, aka Juice Man (as he’s called), of LaPorte, Indiana, and Tampa Bay and St. Petersburg, Florida, is happy to entertain and educate anyone who dares to try their skills and test their luck. When the crowd gathers and watches in amazement as the giant bubbles float across the channel, it’s not hard for Vanschoyck to enlist the help of a few eager-to-learn students. Children of all ages will step up for a free lesson. Vanschoyck patiently teaches each future bubbleman, girl or juggler the delicate art of making magic juice bubbles or juggling. Vanschoyck makes his own toys (or devices) to create the giant-size bubbles, as well as other challenging toys. When he releases the bubble juice against the sunset, a rainbow of colors emerges from the huge bubbles as they drift over the channel. Vanschoyck also demonstrates his talents with devil sticks or flower sticks, which are a form of gyroscopic juggling. He starts his students with the basics, beginning with the flip idle and standard idle before advancing them to the airplane spin, top-only idle and helicopter, all of which are challenging to master for the beginner (but such fun to learn). Brad says of himself, “I am a Tramp by nature and a toy maker by trade.” Sunsets are amazing in New Buffalo; however, with a little bit of dish detergent and some ingenuity, Vanschoyck makes them even more fun and exciting. He’s located near the edge of the beach parking lot most evenings prior to sunset. Hopefully, you will be lucky enough to catch one of his performances - and a free lesson.

Mayor Lou O’Donnell IV with Councilmen and Runner

sports

From the Bleachers COLUMN BY KURT MARGGRAF IN CHICAGO

rance 4, Croatia 2. We’re happy for the country we visited last year, and particularly happy for the young man we became friends with while there. Sami had to work very hard to convince us that it wasn’t soccer, but it really was futbol. Judging from the celebrations we saw on television, Sami and his family are extremely happy with the outcome of today’s game. I have witnessed local celebrations for the Bulls, Blackhawks, Bears, White Sox, and Cubs, and shared the euphoria that a championship brings to a city, but this is the first time I paid attention to the joy that the World Cup brings to a country. I’m not getting any younger, but I hope I’m around when the USA wins. The USA women’s team has won the World Cup three out of the seven times they participated, but unfortunately for me, I wasn’t as interested as I am now. Let’s hope they continue to excel and along with the men’s team, give us something positive that we can all join together and cheer for. It would be splendid if people in our country were able to put aside their differences and have some pride in a common cause. By the time you read this, baseball’s all-star game will have already been played. Two Cubs are all-stars for the first time, and another is in the home run derby. The White Sox also landed a player on the American League squad. I’m sure that Javier Baez, Wilson Contreras, Jon Lester, and Jose Abreu will have acquitted themselves well in the game and Kyle Schwarber will have competed strongly in the home run derby. Last year at this point of the season, the Cubs were in second place, 5.5 games behind the Brewers. While this year hasn’t been spectacular, the Cubs are in first place, 2.5 games ahead of the Brewers. Both Chicago teams are playing as expected with the White Sox continuing their rebuilding efforts and the Cubs contending for the championship. Chicago’s basketball team is starting to shape up. Three new players were added and the Bulls re-signed their own free agent, Zach LeVine. The two rookies drafted by the Bulls, Wendell Carter Jr. and Chandler Hutchison look like they’ll be very good pros, and the wild card of the group is Jabari Parker. Parker is a Chicago native and was the second overall draft choice just four years ago. Adding these players to last year’s rookie sensation Lauri Markkanen and Kris Dunn give this young Chicago team a real chance to make the playoffs next season. In my opinion, the future of the Bulls is brighter than it has been for quite some time. I didn’t get a chance to talk about the Bears or Blackhawks this week, but it will soon be their turn. It snuck up on me, but the Bears actually begin training camp this week and the Blackhawks continue to shuffle their lineup. As always, it’s a busy sports calendar. Casey Stengel said, “Finding good players is easy. Getting them to play as a team is another story.” Be careful out there. Make good choices. Keep smiling. Talk to you next week. Peace, love, and happiness.

When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves -Viktor E. Frankl

Peace Runners return to Harbor Country

LINDA HENDERSON IN NEW BUFFALO | PHOTOS BY NORA HOWE

ayor Lou O’Donnell IV, councilmen Bobby Spirito, Mark Robertson and Mark Kroll and city staff and well-wishers welcomed the Oneness-Home Peace Runners to New Buffalo Saturday afternoon, July 14, at City Hall. Enduring the heat and humidity, the runners, who began their day in Chicago, welcomed a chance to relax and enjoy refreshments before continuing on to Galien, Michigan, for a restful night. The team of runners began the run from Miami, Florida, Monday, March 5, 2018. They then set off to circumnavigate the central part of North America - the United States, Canada and Mexico - before ending their journey in New York City Wednesday, Aug. 15, 2018. As the runners continue across North American, they will pass a lighted torch to each member of the relay team. The relay offers people from many nations the opportunity to express their hopes and dreams for a better, brighter future. People from all walks of life hold the symbolic torch to wish for a peaceful world. As stated by the runners, “Passing the torch from one person to the next unites us together in our common aspiration to offer something positive to our world – together we can make a difference!” Locally, anyone can join the run for a few blocks or a few miles. Since its inception in 1987, the Run has traversed Officer Jason Grimmetts more than 150 nations and territories and touched with the Runners the lives of millions of people. It’s been estimated that the torch has been carried more than 395,000 miles (632,000 km) since 1987. The Peace Run does not seek to raise money or highlight any political cause, but simply strives to create goodwill among peoples of all nations. Sri Chinmoy, founder of the Oneness-Home Peace Run, says on the website, “There shall come a time when all children of the world will enjoy one thing: Peace-dream.” Since its inception, the run has blossomed to include more than 140 countries around the world. The torch that they run with and pass from hand to hand represents humanity’s aspirations and hopes and dreams for peace. “The Peace Run is our way of saying that world peace must begin within the heart of each of us, and that only by transcending the barriers that divide us from our better selves as well as from others, will our world be a true Oneness-Home,” Chinmoy said. The runners’ theme song, which they sing at each stop, is “Peace Run, Peace Run! Oneness-world-heart-joy has begun. Peace Run, Peace Run, Peace Run, Peace Run! Sisters and brothers, our peace-torch-flame Shall feed the globeharmony-game. Peace Run, Peace Run, Peace Run, Peace Run!” (Words and music by Chinmoy, March 12, 1991.)

Whirlpool Corporation to “Rock the Boat” with fleet of cardboard boats

In criticism I will be bold, and as sternly, absolutely just with friend and foe. From this purpose nothing shall turn me. -Edgar Allan Poe

nited Way of Southwest Michigan will benefit from Whirlpool Corporation’s third annual “Rock the Boat” event at The Inn at Harbor Shores Thursday, July 19. The number of cardboard boats in this year’s race has more than doubled to 64, which is up from last year’s 30 boats. There were five boats in the race the first year. The event, which is held along the St. Joe River, is open to the public. Food and T-shirts will be available for sale. Raffle tickets will be sold onsite for drawings that evening. Spectators

can enjoy a beer garden and watch the race on a jumbotron by DPM Events. The final boat count exceeded Whirlpool’s goal this year of 60 boats. Registration has closed. Racers paid an entry fee of $250. “This event has really gained popularity around this community over the past few years. To have 64 boats registered is incredible. And all the proceeds, from the boat registration fee to items sold at the event, will benefit United Way of Southwest Michigan,” said Whirlpool Corporation’s Matt Meier, co-chair of Whirlpool Corporation’s United Way campaign.

The life-size boats are made of cardboard, duct tape and polyurethane and powered entirely by human paddling. Many prizes will be handed out throughout the night, from “Fastest Boat” to “Most Creative” and “Best Themed.” The race in the St. Joseph River starts at 6 p.m. at the Inn at Harbor Shores, 800 Whitwam Dr., St Joseph, Michigan. Proceeds from the company-sponsored event will benefit United Way of Southwest Michigan. Thursday’s race kicks off St. Joseph Today’s Midsummer Classic Weekend. — STAFF REPORTS

FOR THE LOVE OF THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER...

egional publications do work that really matters to their communities. And local journalists know it in their bones. A fatal single-engine plane crash in a corn field was the first story I ever covered for a local newspaper, the Kalamazoo Gazette. Life and death. That’s the bread and butter of local newspapers. The obituaries are among their most-read sections. What journalists don’t expect is to find their own colleagues in those pages, gunned down in the place where they work, the way five members of the staff of the Capital Gazette were, in Annapolis, Maryland, on Thursday. When events are horrific, as they were in Colorado when I was editor of the Rocky Mountain News and 12 students and a teacher were killed at Columbine High School, I learn the difference between local and national journalists. Local reporters don’t get to leave the scene of the tragedy. It’s where they live. What they do matters to their community. And local journalists know it in their bones. It’s what makes their work worth doing. One of the reasons I loved working in local journalism was that I felt close to the stories I covered. I would meet people I wrote about in the grocery store or at a movie theater. There was no getting away from seeing them again, whether I wrote something that might have angered them or something they liked. It’s one of the things that keeps journalists honest. There’s little fame or glory in covering local news, the way there might be in reporting on national or international events. I didn’t know Rob Hiaasen, Wendi Winters, Gerald Fischman, John McNamara, and Rebecca Smith, the five who died in the Capital Gazette newsroom. But I know many like them. I’ve worked among them for more than three decades, from Michigan to New Mexico, Ontario to Colorado, and Hawaii to Washington, D.C. The Gazette’s editor, Jimmy DeButts, described his fallen colleagues eloquently in a tweet: “Just know @capgaznews reporters & editors give all they have every day. There are no 40 hour weeks, no big paydays — just a passion for telling stories from our community.” This morning, the newspaper’s surviving reporters and editors put out the paper as always, covering the news of their colleagues’ deaths. There are thousands across the country doing this daily work, striving to get one more story, one more

fact, one more picture to capture the life of their community. They’re the ones who create the front pages memorializing everything, from the victory of a local sports team to the devastation of a local flood or fire. Local journalists and their newspapers play a special role. They help define a community’s character and identity. Coverage in their pages confers status. Recognition. Absence from their pages also sends a painful message, that the lives of some people don’t matter. And while their front pages may be what people remember most, the value of what’s called “agate” type, the small type that lists the times of runners in a race or winners in a contest at a local fair or the list of all of the graduates of a high school, shouldn’t be underestimated. The saying goes: Names are news. It’s true. People look for the names of their friends and family in their local newspaper. They stay in touch with their successes and sometimes failures through the pages of local newspapers. I didn’t know any of those who died. But I know people I’m sure are like them. They struggle between the demands of the job and the demands of their family. They can never do enough for either. I don’t know any of those who died or their paper. But I know what it feels like to show up at work to answer the ringing phones with people asking how the paper could have gotten something wrong. I know that it’s rare for the phones to ring with compliments. That’s not the way the world works. And I’m sure that those who died, just like the ones I worked with, were okay with that. They didn’t expect to hear love. But they deserve love. Today especially. Without them, their communities wouldn’t have a story. They wouldn’t have the first draft of their own history. I don’t know those who died, but I do know their work, like the work of many of my colleagues, was a labor of love. I don’t know why the newspaper was attacked. I never read it. But I do know many others like it, and they, too, today deserve our love. These people and these organizations are not enemies of the people, as our president so dangerously swears. They are the people. — STEVE MAKELA, PUBLISHER EDIBLE LOUISVILLE - BLUEGRASS

MY VOTE IS...

y name is Therese Simanton. I support David Benac as MI06 Candidate for U.S. Congress. I started volunteering for David in May, 2017. David came out from the beginning with a clearly defined platform. David has written and

continues to write and make available policy statements to thoroughly explain his stance on the issues. David has built a swell of excitement in the party throughout CD6 that has allowed him to be able to hold 20 Town Halls in CD6 during this primary!!!! David has worked tirelessly to win. I firmly believe David does all of this because he truly cares about all of us. I have probably spent as much time as anyone at Democratic Picnics and forums where I have listened to all of the candidates speak over the last 14 months. David Benac has my vote, my husbands and my family. — THERESE SIMANTON, BENTON HARBOR

VOTING IN THE PRIMARY IS IMPORTANT... We were taught that after many years and hard fought battles all citizens have the right to vote but did not comprehend the importance of every individual’s vote. Excuses are: “I don’t understand the issues”; “my vote doesn’t count”; “all politicians are lying crooks”; “there is no difference between the parties”; and “voting is inconvenient”. If your thinking resembles these attitudes, think again. Many elections are decided by just a few votes and if the general population doesn’t vote, elections will be decided by the extremes of both parties. Politicians know that many people, especially the majority with moderate views, don’t vote so they pander to their Base of extreme partisans. This thinking is what creates politicians that are unwilling to cooperate with the other side. I encourage you to vote in the primary on August 7th for your preferred candidate. This is where the electoral process starts. If primary voter turnout is low and only the extremes of both parties will tend to get either immoderate candidates or candidates that can’t win in the general election. It used to be that candidates run to their Base but move to the middle once they are elected. This does not hold any more. The Base and other politicians hold their feet to the fire and punish those who are willing to compromise to enact important initiatives, causing deadlock and preventing vital issues to be resolved. — DAVID BLUM, CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY COMMISSION 9TH DISTRICT

Sweet vintage rides at the Classic Car Cruise-in

BY HOLLY SHULMAN

hrome grills, red tail lights, flashy fenders, big trunks, shiny engines, cool pin-stripes and even rumble seats were all on display in downtown New Buffalo during the Classic Car Cruise-in Wednesday night, July 11. Nostalgia and envy oozed from the crowd as they poked their heads under the hoods and inside the windows to revel in the memory of beautiful rides from back in the day. Hoods were propped open to display shiny, clean engines. Forget computer boards and digital displays- these pipes, dials, steel bolts, huge fans and hoses came from another time. It was like looking down the throat of Detroit all the way to its guts. The pride of the passionate owners was also on display. Many, like Purdue University mechanical engineer and ’65 Mustang and ’67 Cougar owner Marvin Kampega, had refurbished the body or rebuilt the engines themselves. Others had purchased their cars in amazingly good shape and only had to buff things up a bit to make them show-worthy. Rich and Deb Sheaffer found their 1989 Oldsmobile ’88 in a garage in La Porte, Indiana, where it had been kept in good condition for the last 20 years. Mostly muscle cars from the ’50s to the ’80s angle parked in a chorus line of color on North Whittaker Street. Bygone paint jobs of cherry red, canary yellow, metallic gold and turquoise blue shined like eye candy in the bright sun. The name plates alone, which had the model Stingray, Mustang, Cougar, Cavalier, Impala, Plymouth GTX, Charger and Trans Am written on them, conjured up images of families and teens at the drive-in movies. The cars’ vintage interiors, which featured big steering wheels, bench seats, pristine leather or vinyl upholstery and dashboards to die for, were as gorgeous as their outsides. There were also great vehicles from other eras, including an early Ford Roadster and a 1929 Indian 101 Scout Motor Cycle. John Rettig, who owns a 2011 Ford Mustang Roush Stage 3 Prototype (one of only two ever made), had J. Roush himself sign his autograph right on the engine. The Classic Car Cruise-in is free and open to the public and takes place on North Whittaker Street in New Buffalo, which is blocked off on cruise-in nights to make it kid and pet friendly. Presented by the New Buffalo Business Association (NBBA), the next two cruise-ins are scheduled for Wednesday, Aug 1, from 6-9 p.m. and Friday, Aug. 10, from 5-11 p.m., and will feature food and live music.

Americana Music Fest a startling collection of talent

10 N WHITTAKER STREET NEW BUFFALO, MI 49117 OFFICE: (269) 469-3950 ColdwellBankerHomes.com

OPEN HOUSE

WORDS AND PHOTOS BY LAWRENCE VON EBELER

he Acorn Theater showcased some of Michigan’s and Chicago’s most talented artists Saturday, July 14, at the Americana Music Fest. VIPs started a “meet and greet” time at 5 p.m. with the artists in the Acorn’s elegant lobby. Cocktails were offered along with a pizza from Patellie’s before the first act was scheduled to perform. More than 100 VIP tickets, which were priced at $50 each, were sold before the event. Several brilliant performers were engaged in this first Americana Music Fest celebration. “Chicago Farmer” may not be all that his name implies, as a farmer does not bring down the house the way Cody Diekhoff did. (No discredit to farmers, it’s just possibly the wrong image to imply how this singer/writer can move an audience). Diekhoff’s lyrics are all about the working man’s plight, the “regular” folks and depression. His lyrics also deal with the destruction of our environment and a divided nation, which make them a challenging listen. Audience members listened and were moved by this man’s unique voice and interpolations. The songs are a man’s cry to feel empathy for the less fortunate and to protest the sad state of affairs in our country. Diekhoff made everyone sit on the edges of their seats, ensuring they don’t miss any nuance that his unique voice projected. He clearly had this mesmerized audience in the palms of his hands. Ryan Joseph Anderson, a furry-looking established Chicago songwriter, is working on a new solo project inspired by the wild duplicity of country and psychedelic folk. For five years, Anderson has fronted the “Go Long Mule” band. During his flawless performance at the Acorn, one could easily see that the experience has paid off. The way the other artists stood and watched

him from backstage was very telling with regards to the admiration Anderson enjoys from them. The Blisters are simply the serious and mysterious Henry Mosher on vocals and guitar, Spencer Tweedy on drums, Hayden Holbert on guitar and Tory P Lopez on bass. Formed in 2002, “The Blisters” have spent 10 years playing shows in not only Chicago, but all across the country. Their album, “Cured,” is available now. The colorful, very talented group has a sound that’s all its own. Audience members were engaged in swaying and foot stamping to the creative, enormously talented group that is most appropriately called “The Blisters.” (They do blister you.) First onstage Saturday night was Monte Pride, who is truly a Michigander. An original artist who’s a folksinger-songwriter and finger style guitarist, Monte has a rich tenor voice and accomplished guitar technique that make him sound more polished than his years; however, the enthusiasm he brings to the music and his performance is youthful. His powerful ability to communicate whole heartedly shine through in his writing. Monte’s partner was the stunning Vanessa Gerber, who was born in Illinois but has spent most of her life in the San Francisco Bay area. She flew in in time for Saturday’s performance. Gerber began playing guitar at age nine and continues to strum and sing to this day. While on duty for a forest service, Gerber met Monte’s girlfriend, Tess, and subsequently heard Monte’s sound. She went berserk and immediately contacted him to join the Americana Music Fest. No surprise, they both love Lyle Lovett and it’s Lyle’s music that they played during their own set in the “Style of Lyle.” In spite of her unique, soft, voice projection, Gerber sang with a heartfelt quality that could not be missed.

CHURCH OF THE MEDIATOR TO HOST SUMMER MARKET IN HARBOR COUNTRY
