Humphrey said gasoline igniting inside a can tossed into a swimming pool at a vacation home in July is an example of why the requirements were needed.According to police, one of the guests was pouring gasoline from the can he found in the garage to help a struggling fire in a backyard pit when an ember ignited the inside of the container. A fter hitting the water, the can kept burning and firefighters came out to put out the flames, police said. Rising short-term rental numbers in both communities were gradual before exploding when the pandemic hit in March of 2020.
“There’s quite a bit of that,” he said.
However, La Porte County Convention and Visitors Bureau Director Jack Arnett estimated the number of shortterm rentals to meet demand especially near Lake Michigan went up again like it has in each of the past several years. “There’s no doubt it’s on the uptick. It has been for quite a while,” he said Arnett said a good indicator of the current market is vacation homes being created in the upper floors of buildings on Franklin Street in downtown Michigan City. He said some of that space has already been transformed into higher end lodging but more is on the way.
Humphrey also said a record was set this summer for attendance at the public beach while restaurant owners reported similar customer totals. Those numbers might not be an accurate gauge for short-term rental demand since a majority of visitors come here to spend just a day or evening, he Humphreysaid.said it was important to point out the figures, though, because opponents of the vacation home restrictions feared they would send the wrong message and drive people away.
Arnett said people felt they were more protected against COVID-19 in a vacation home than a hotel with rooms on multiple floors. If anything, Arnett said he believes short-term rental demand at the very least has kept pace with the spike of the two previous summers. Rentals for less than 30 days are not allowed in Long Beach and Beverly Shores. Short rental owners in Michiana Shores must have a permit and be granted a zoning variance to operate.

The restrictions in New Buffalo include no additional short-term rentals in residential neighborhoods. Despite the cap, Humphrey said demand is still there judging by the number of new short-term rentals created recently in the city’s marina and commercial districts, where no limits were“There’simposed.just as many permits as there were. They’ve just relocated which was always the goal,” he said.
Making movies is all about compromise, negotiation, and sacrifice, but the process helps you distill what’s really important to you, and once you have identified what those these things are for any particular sequence, you hold onto them and don’t let them go.
I t appears demand for short-term rentals in the Michigan City and New Buffalo areas remained strong during the summer despite recently imposed restrictions. Figures on vacation home use this season from both sides of the IndianaMichigan border won’t be available for several months, officials said.

“I think there is demand for shortterm rentals here and you’ll continue to see that,” he Short-termsaid.rental owners in Michigan City are also required now to register their properties with the city. The action taken last year in both communities was in response to complaints about things like noise from large gatherings. A registered short-term rental allows a city to quickly look up the name and contact information of the property owner to try and resolve complaints sooner.Therestrictions in New Buffalo were given birth for similar reasons.
Another sign of continued market growth is Michigan City having the third most beds in the state from vacation homes and other Airbnb rentals, he said.New Buffalo Mayor John Humphrey said the number of vacation homes registered with the city went down noticeably after restrictions were adopted last year.

OPINION BY DINO N. FATOUROS
(Scene: Summer House Santa Monica, 60614)
New Buffalo Times — SINCE 1942 —
Sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, the nominally publicized event is the world’s largest gathering of central bankers. There were 127 attendees from the U.S., the UK, Europe and elsewhere. Notable speakers included Agustín Carstens, who manages the Swiss-based Bank for International Settlements (BIS)—the rather obscure “central bank of the central banks.” Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell was also among the 19 presenters.Powelltalked about former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker’s actions in the early 1980s to “tame the high inflation” coming out of the 1970s, a period being compared to the current inflationary trends.
He added: “The inflation that he caused created a crisis for the Savings & Loans (S & Ls), which had home loans at 6% and paid their depositors 3%. That was killing them when the real interest rates climbed to double digits. S & Ls, in this crisis, turned to Congress [and obtained] junk bonds with a higher return, which was suicidal but kept them alive a little longer. Congress deregulated banking and enabled the giants to gobble up the small banks. Yet Powell portrays it as Volcker heroically stepping in.”
D: I don’t think I am :) You? (more smiles)
As for “the need for restrictive monetary policy” pushed by Powell, “Social Credit Economics” (socred.org) author Dr. Oliver Heydorn noted in a recent article that the whole idea of tightening credit by raising interest rates to “fight inflation,” an almost religious belief among bankers and economists, is flawed, since, in “cost-push” inflation—which, contrary to popular belief, is the most common form of price inflation, instead of “printing too much money that’s chasing too few goods”—higher production costs are typically pushed to the end consumer. Thus, the increased cost of credit for producers and retailers, brought on by interest rate hikes, is simply another cost of doing business that morphs into higher purchase prices. Amid the often-intense disunity in our society, it’d be especially helpful to come together and cure our economic infirmities. If the economy could actually use more money in circulation (and if more money is not a major cause of price inflation) then perhaps it’s only a matter of the government constitutionally printing U.S. notes interest-free, like Abe Lincoln did during the waning days of the Civil War and the American colonists did before the Revolution—instead of perpetually borrowing at interest from the private banking system.
The emergence of economic constraints during the pandemic and how supply considerations have returned to center stage
he annual Jackson Hole, Wyoming symposium of prominent central bankers marked its 45th year Aug. 25-27. It involved exploring “the emergence of economic constraints during the pandemic and how supply considerations have returned to center stage,” a press released noted.
“The successful Volcker disinflation in the early 1980s,” Powell told his fellow bankers in Wyoming, “followed multiple failed attempts to lower inflation over the previous 15 years. A lengthy period of very restrictive monetary policy was ultimately needed to stem the high inflation and start the process of getting inflation down to the low and stable levels that were the norm until the spring of last year. Our goal is to avoid that outcome by acting with resolve now.”
“As Fed chairman in the 1980s, Volcker tamed the inflation he himself caused earlier when he was president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank’s open-market operations. There, he started the late1970s Carter-era inflation to deregulate banking and profitably undermine the savings and loan industry for the big players in finance.”

However, retired Heritage College (Washington state) macroeconomics instructor Dick Eastman took strong issue with Powell’s remarks.
Councilmembers approved the payment of $60,000 to the Farewell family in exchange for a perpetual easement of 14 feet that will overly the existing waterline in the Wildwood/Ely Water Loop.
Saying that she’ll have more details at the village’s next meeting, Senica said that she was just informed that the Michigan Municipal League is going to file an amicus brief in the villages of Grand Beach and Michiana’s lawsuit against New Buffalo Township with regards to the township’s Public Safety Special Assessment District.
Grand Beach Village Council approves easement regarding New Buffalo Township’s maintenance of Marquette Greenway BY FRANCESCA SAGALA
Joe Farewell said that other costs may incur from a relocation from moving a telephone pole and several trees. Costs may also increase over time due to inflation, as work can’t be completed until the supplies arrive approximately 44 weeks from now.

Village attorney Sara Senica will write the easement with the township attorney before it’s submitted to both the council and township board for approval.Shesaid the village could look at an MOU as a “maintenance agreement where the township says it’s going to come in and build this pathway and they’re going to maintain it.” Senica added that while the upside to an MOU is the village gets to keep the land, the downside is the village is liable for it.
In a letter addressed to Leonard, clerk Mary Robertson and superintendent Bob Dabbs, he stated that, overall, the family believes the “cost would be closer to Farewell$75,000.”saidthe approximately 14-foot easement would be “from the right of way to right of way” on Wildwood and Ely. The village would have authority to go on the property to replace, fix or maintain the line, which would all be in the easement agreement.
embers of the Grand Beach Village Council approved the village deeding a permanent easement to New Buffalo Township for the Marquette Greenway, a proposed 60-mile nonmotorized trail from Chicago to New Buffalo, at a special Wednesday, Aug. 31, meeting. At their last Greenwayconstructioncouncilmembersmeeting,approvedoftheMarquettemovingforwardon village right of way on Grand Beach Road and that it will be determined later whether there be a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or easement with regards to New Buffalo Township taking over the maintenance of the trail.

Councilmembers approved Donkersloot and Sons using the Lake Avenue access point as a staging area for materials for the Carter Eckert Revetment Repair Project (which is slated to last through Thanksgiving) as opposed to Robin Lane access point, which they previously authorized.
While she said she has “no doubt” that the current township board will follow through on maintenance, she said that different leadership eight or 20 years down the road may not see maintaining it as a top priority.“So,you’re hiring the township essentially to come in and take care of it but you’re not paying them anything, they’re doing it out of township funds but if you get a board in the future that says, ‘Why are we spending township money on this pathway - they own it, the village owns it, why are we maintaining it?’ They could say, ‘We’re not going to spend funds on village land anymore’, and you’d be stuck with it,” Senica said.
“The benefit of an easement is that they have an insurable interest, so you would give them an easement for a certain amount of property, they’d be able to come in and build to the specs and then they’d have to take care of it and they’d have an insurable interest in the easement because it is a more permanent interest…You’d still own the land, but they’d insure it,” Senica said.
She said the easement would have provisions in it that would require the township to maintain it and it would require them to insure it under their township insurance policy, “so you are free of that liability.”
“We get a bike path, it doesn’t cost us a dime to do it and with an easement, we shift the liability to New Buffalo Township, and we get the benefit of their insurance coverage that they’re paying for,” he said.
Senica said that she believes that a future township may be able to pull out of the MOU agreement if it doesn’t “have an insurable interest in the property” and that, even if the agreement were to go on forever, a future township board may still not take care of it “at the level” the village believes it should.
Councilmember Paul Leonard said that the village will benefit from the pathway because it will get cyclists, as well as resident pedestrians who are walking up and down Grand Beach from the arches to the railroad tracks, “out of harm’s way.”
Councilmembers had accepted the lowest bid of $69,410 from Merritt Engineering and Paul Oselka from Pay Jay Construction, Inc., with regards to the water line relocation, although no contract has been signed yet.
She said that the village would then be “stuck” taking care of it and would be liable if someone gets hurt because it’s their property and “all you have with the township is a maintenance agreement.”

“A high percentage of them are not yet stuck in their ways or jaded from early life, school and all of that - and I feel confident that I’m able to build relationships with this age of student so that I can really help them get through this tough time at times and prepare them for the high school, when its more cutthroat,” he said, adding that that’s when their GPAs will start to matter in terms of their lives after school.

“So, we’re being very aware and conscientious that we have opportunities for all students and to feel belonging somewhere, whether that’s in a club, an organization or a sport - we’re just trying to open up opportunities with classes, clubs and sports so that every student that comes through our doors, they feel connected somehow to try to get us back to what we are hoping is this feeling of building a community at New Buffalo High School and that we’re all part of this New Buffalo High School Bison community,” sheHavingsaid. spent 17 years of her teaching career in high school, Ripley said she has an affinity for that age group. “They’re old enough to joke with you, they’re old enough to have a conversation with you and you find common interests with them –probably as much as they’re learning I’m learning from them, too because they’re highly intelligent...We don’t give them enough credit sometimes,” she said.As principal at New Buffalo Middle School, Dan Caudle will be leading a middle school that has a relatively smaller number of students than his previous one; however, he doesn’t feel that it’ll be much of anPreviously,adjustment.he was principal at Chesterton Middle School, which was attended by seventh and eighth graders and was comprised of about 1,000 Sstudents.

The team that was a World Series contender last season looks very average right now. Hopefully they’ll get hot and overtake Cleveland and Minnesota in their last 28 games and salvage the season. The Bears open their season this Sunday at home against the San Francisco 49ers. While the experts are predicting a dismal season for the Bears, I believe they will be very competitive and finish with a record close to .500. The coaching staff looks like they are instilling discipline and hustle into the team, and the players are being put into positions to succeed, a complete turnaround from last season.

They may be a little short in the skill department, but if they are smarter, hustle more, and are more disciplined than their opponents, the Bears should win their share. In any event, individual player improvement, particularly with quarterback Justin Fields, will the key to the season. If Fields can turn into a great quarterback, most of the teams shortcomings will be solved.
Notre Dame took the field to battle Ohio State as a 17-point underdog, but battled the Buckeyes evenly before finally succumbing 21-10 in a hard fought game in Ohio.

he New Buffalo High School volleyball team lost a hard-fought match at Lake Michigan Catholic Wednesday, Aug. 31. The Lady Bison (7-5-2) won the first two games 25-16 and 25-19. However, LMC claimed victory by winning the next three games of the match 25-21, 25-23 and 15-9. The loss could be viewed as a letdown after the Lady Bison in spectacular fashion at times defeated White Pigeon in three sets. Head coach Bruce Malineaux said LMC was a tougher opponent but it was a match his team should have won.“We’re not as quick as I’d like use to be and we made some mistakes there at the end,” he said. Jane Funk and Ava Johnson led the team on Foffense.unkhad 23 kills while Johnson racked up 27 assists.Amanda Jones led all defenders with 19 digs while Funk added 12 digs and Liz Schmock contributed nine digs. Hard striking Benita Puskinigus led all Lady Bison servers with nine aces.
“Our offense is pretty good. We’re working on our defense mostly. That seems to be our Achilles,” he said.

Celebrating 26 years of outsider art at ‘Outsiders Outside Art Fair’ BY FRANCESCA SAGALA

“They’d say, ‘I want that chair and painting and I want that quilt’ and other things before I just gave in and said, ‘Okay,’” Judith said. A s for the art show, Judith said that artists and dealers come from near and far.

F or the 26th year, those who were on the hunt for art that is different – art that is of the whimsical variety – converged outside of the Judith Racht Art Gallery at 13689 Prairie Road in Harbert for the annual Outsiders Outside Art Fair, which took place Friday through Sunday, Sept.Artwork2-4. included paintings, woodcuts, sculptures, and fiber art, created by artists who use many non-traditional materials to make their art. No matter how much one piece of art differed from another artists’ work, though, there was one common thread that ran through all the work that was on display throughout the Labor Day weekend show: It was all created by artists who have not been formally trained – hence the term “outsider artist.”It’sthe rawness that emanated from each piece that is what draws Judith to that type of art, she said. “I always bought one of kind things when I go to the auctions - I liked it because it was made by somebody’s hands,” she said. She drew attention to the paintings in her gallery, which were made from clay and pennies that were mixed and then house paint. Judith added that she attributes her love of artwork made by hand, such as quilts, to her upbringing in the south.

When she landed up north, she opened a gallery in Lakeside (in the building next to the church).Evenin the gallery’s living quarters, whimsical items abounded. In her children’s bedrooms upstairs, quilts were draped over their beds. “People would say, ‘I want to see your upstairs’ and I would say, ‘That’s just where my family stays,’” she said. Soon, she gave in and started letting her guests wander upstairs.
“As long as dealers are doing well, I’m happy…Some of them come from a long way - Texas and New York and Virginiaso it’s a long drive,” she said, noting the rising gas prices.

Replica of country’s first steam locomotive debuts at Hesston during Steam and Power Show BY FRANCESCA SAGALA

Thanks to Rick Weber’s hours of Steamconstruction,designengineering,research,andHesstonMuseumnowhas a replica of the first steam locomotive in the United States.Weber said he put 2,300 hours into the fully operational, steam powered scale replica of Peter Cooper’s Tom Thumb. Visitors could see the replica, which was made to operate on the museum’s 3-foot gauge railroad, during the museum’s 66th annual Steam and Power Show, which took place Friday through Monday, Sept.Weber2-5.said Cooper was the industrialist who had the Tom Thumb built. “It was kind of a proof-ofconcept engine – it wasn’t built to actually do any work, just to show that this new-fangled steam engine could actually replace horses that were pulling wagons at the time on the rails,” he said. Weber said his replica was built as a little bigger than half scale model, adding that it’s “basically the first time a truly authentic version of this engine was built.” The original Tom Thumb was built in 1830 to run on the Baltimore and Ohio horse drawn wagon railway. “The industrialist that conceived the idea proved that this was better than horses and from this point on, people actually had some idea of what a steam locomotive was,” Weber said, adding that people “started building locomotives and railroads in this country like gangbusters.”AsforWeber, he started building the replica 15 months ago. “That was due to Covid… I’m immune compromised, so I didn’t have any place to go, and I went out in my machine shop and started building,” he said. The process involved making wood patterns of the iron castings and machining those castings as well as several other parts. Water in the five eight scale model goes into a boiler, where a fire at the bottom heats it up and turns up the steam, The steam runs the engines and “it goes back and forth,” Weber said.

He and his wife then became involved in philanthropy work, which led them to Hesston. “There isn’t a museum in the world if they had a printing press in the basement to print enough money to keep them going, so we wanted to see if there were some things we could do to help them out,” Weber said.
Ted Rita, Hesston’s general manager, said that he’s always wanted a Tom Thumb like the replica –and Weber was “intrigued by the idea.”

“This is the first time it’s been running for the public, so I’ve kind of just been watching it and seeing some changes I might want to make, improvements, debug it a little bit,” he said, adding that he’s “run it back and forth about two dozen times” that day. Adding that the museum was “just thrilled” to have the replica, Rita said the Tom Thumb “really was some of the first steam powered equipment on this continent.”
“Up until the day of the Tom Thumb, we only used animals to transport things, there was never a machine to transport things,” he said.
The threshing demonstration has begun on The Minneapolis Elwin Bender with his model 1915 Case one-third scale
Rita said there was some steam equipment that moved that was used during the Revolutionary War; however, it was unsuccessful and was used in England. Visitors could also get a sneak peek at The Steamworks, a new museum gallery, throughout the weekend. Rita said The Steamworks will be expanded as the museum gets grant funds. “It’ll give us a little more indoor room and give us an opportunity to do smaller exhibits that we always wanted to do instead of living history exhibits,” Rita said. Rita said the museum isn’t “typical” of other ones because it includes moving exhibits that guests can even take for a ride. “We try to give experiences - we don’t want to just talk to people with glass cases so even Steamworks would be a very hands-on, very experiential type of museum gallery,” he said.

The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the New Buffalo Township Library. Moran will introduce the film, screen it and lead a discussion afterwards.Morandescribed “The Lives of Others” as “an elegant thriller, set in East Berlin during the 1980s. This is a time when The Ministry for State Security, otherwise known as the Stasi, ruthlessly and covertly intruded into the lives of East German citizens to weed out dissent and self-expression.” The story centers on an efficient Stasi agent assigned to spy on a respected playwright and his actress girlfriend. The agent does his job well; however, soon enough, his intense monitoring develops into something unexpected and very dangerous.Meetings of the film group, sponsored by the Friends of the New Buffalo Library, are free and open to all.
