letters Take Back Science?

This letter is in regards to Thomas Kachadurian’s piece concerning his faith in science. He says we were told that the low levels in Lake Michigan were due to global warming. Was this presented in a scientific journal (no reference was cited)? Was it an offthe-cuff remark by a climate scientist? Was it some journalist’s headline? He cites a number of examples where science got it wrong, and where politics has crept in. Science, like any human institution, is subject to error and corruption. This seems to have led to his conclusion that since science is not infallible, it’s better to disregard it if it disagrees with your own perception of the world.

Kachadurian says “In real science facts can be confirmed objectively. You don’t need a consensus to show that H2O turns to a solid at 32 F.” If you see an unfrozen puddle by the side of the road on a winter day, can you objectively conclude the temperature is above 32F, or is unseen road salt dissolved in the water, keeping it unfrozen? Science merely starts with objective facts. To try to understand complex phenomena, many facts will need to be related in a logical way, and seemingly contradictory facts will need to be plausibly shown as non-critical.

Theories need to be confirmed by further observation or experimentation.Results need to be presented for peer review. Then you start to build scientific consensus.

Climate change is a fact, not a political ...............................................53-57 statement. We are told that Mr. Kachadurian resides on Old Mission Point. That is a good thing; there is plenty of sand there in which he can comfortably bury his head. Hopefully 4Play..............................................................58 that will keep him from writing more material Nightlife..........................................................62 that you’ll feel the need to publish.

Intellectual Dishonesty

The scientists peddling their “scientific” papers questioning the certainty on climate change are betraying their dishonesty. To assert that there is uncertainty regarding a scientific finding describes all scientific conclusions. Science is unable to prove truth or guarantee certainty but only able to show their conclusions are likely true.

These “scientists” carry out their distortion of science by not submitting their papers for peer review, which is required by the scientific method to guard against human bias and error. Instead they impose their views on the public, as most of us are not as trained to be able to assess if the paper is factually sound.

Science uses testability to assess what is the best explanation for what is being studied.

Besides requiring certainty and avoiding peer review, these questionable seekers of truth misrepresent the predictions being made as unreliable when in fact the predictions are usually underestimates of what is occurring.

Tom Darnton, Charlevoix

Real Science

As Thomas Kachadurian in the June 6 issue suggests, we should be skeptical of scientific studies, especially when they are produced by industries or individuals vested in promoting certain products, positions, or books. However, is he really suggesting global climate change is a scam like the one perpetrated by tobacco companies?

He makes the error of mistaking local weather -- fluctuating water levels in northern Michigan -- with climate, which is global.

One does not have to have a degree in climate science to review the research. Bill Nye, affectionately known as “The Science Guy,” is not a climate scientist, but he has a gift for explaining complicated topics in an easy-tounderstand way. Is Kachadurian suggesting that a person who hasn’t done the research himself shouldn’t even talk about it?

These biased scientists usually focus on one aspect of global warming rather than the scope of what climate change is explaining.

The strength of any scientific explanation is that it is able to explain many diverse events including sea level rise, extreme weather, acidity of the ocean, flooding, wild fires, and droughts. These scientists often focus on global temperature and ignore the other events.

Kachadurian states, “Scientists don’t have to do experiments anymore.” Nevertheless, they keep at it, and they keep comparing their findings to see what holds true, just as they always have. As he must know, almost all scientists agree climate change exists, though they differ on the details. And they agree it is happening too quickly. The ones who disagree nearly all work for industries that would be adversely affected if we were to change the way we fuel our lives.

He says “It’s time to take back science.” You can ignore science, or try to distort science, but you can’t take back that which you were never invested in.

Probably the most damaging criticism of the scientists who present evidence refuting global warming is the principle of falsifiability. Since scientific claims (i.e. global warming is a hoax) must be based on evidence, it must be possible to imagine a fact that could show it is false. When such facts are presented to the deniers, they are not accepted. Because no evidence could falsify the claim, it is not empirical but a statement of belief.

Like Kachadurian, I enjoy going outside and observing. This spring he sees high water levels. I see animals and plants expanding beyond their usual range. I see unpredictable bird migration and quirky weather. I blame these and other changes on a number of factors, but I also find it helpful to see what real, smart scientists think. This world is a very complicated place. If you are just looking out your window, you are missing the big picture!

By Jack Segal U.S. forces are struggling to help indigenous troops make headway against the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq and Syria, while in Afghanistan, 10,000 American troops are trying to pull together an Afghan fighting force to keep at bay a growing insurgency.

Wars that began over a decade ago seem to be endless. Despite a trillion dollars(!) and the loss of life for thousands of brave Americans, we seem unable to “win” any of these conflicts.

Is“winning” no longer an option?

Maybe it was inevitable, but when President Obama tried to extricate the U.S. from the wars of the Bush administration, he quickly realized that good intentions don’t magically translate into an exit strategy. Afghanistan was, for President George W. Bush, an inescapable response to Al Qaida’s blatant challenge to our nation. But after U.S. troops ousted the Taliban regime, we were quickly confronted by the reality that, outside a few major cities, Afghanistan was mired socially, politically, in every imaginable way in the 14th century.

We halfheartedly pressed on, even while the attention of Washington shifted to a new war, and we’re still doing so today.

The situation in Afghanistan is deteriorating to such a degree that there’s renewed pressure to increase our troop commitment there. You can see the evidence of the failings of our Afghan allies in the steady stream of Afghans seeking refugee status across Europe. Already 200,000 Afghans have fled what seems to be a hopeless struggle in their homeland. Insurgents from the Taliban, Al Qaida, the Haqqani network, Hizb-i-Islami and now ISIS control an everincreasing swath of the countryside.

With the country’s best and brightest fleeing and Afghan security forces losing soldiers to desertion faster than new ones can be trained, U.S. troops are left to try to whip the Afghan forces into good enough shape to slow the loss of territory to the insurgents. “Winning” is no longer in our playbook.

The current “unity” government of President Ashraf Ghani and “CEO” Abdullah Abdullah remains unable to create a national identity.

How bad is it? When Doug Stanton and I toured the country in 2010, we met regional Governor Nur Mohammed Atta in the northern Afghan “capital” city Mazar-e-Sharif. Atta (no relation to the 9/11 attacker) was a slick, self-absorbed thug who was completely in control of his relatively wealthy region.

Two years ago, President Ghani decided that Atta was just too corrupt to keep in office, so he fired him. Atta’s response was to openly rebuff President Ghani: “They cannot remove me by force — I am with my people.” To this day Atta remains the de facto governor, warlord and commander of Afghanistan’s northern region.

Aside from our ongoing training of the Afghan military (which seems to have a one step forward, two steps backward nature to it), what can we do about a government that cannot enforce its authority much beyond the capital city?

I recall the sharp message I once received from a member of the Afghan Parliament.

He was wearing traditional Afghan garb and was identified to me as a Taliban sympathizer.

Sitting across a conference table from me, he proceeded to launch into a diatribe of the many injustices our forces had committed against the

4 • june 13, 2016 • Northern Express Weekly

Afghan people — the night raids into people’s homes, the accidental killings, unexplained detentions.

Then he rose from his seat. I did the same. He glared into my eyes and said, “You people. You want to tell us how to run our country.” He leaned closer. “You want to tell me how to live in my house…and you are never going to do that. Never.”

I knew that most of his accusations had a basis in fact. I had heard similar, slightly more diplomatic lectures from then-President Hamid Karzai. Too often, our tactics had turned the people against us.

The complexity of the wars we are fighting is graphically and tragically revealed in a brilliant film, “Restrepo.” The film profiles the experiences of one infantry unit in Afghanistan’s Korengal Valley. U.S. soldiers fought for years to gain support for the Afghan government from villagers whose attitudes were just like those of the Afghani who had lectured me. The Afghans wanted us to just leave them alone; we brought trouble to their primitive lives; not hope, not “democracy,” not “progress.” They had lived with war for decades and saw our presence as yet one more foreign intervention, fraught with danger for them and their families.

In one scene, a frustrated young U.S. Army captain laments that while his troops had “successfully” killed eight insurgents in one battle, they had also killed five children and wounded ten or so civilians. Our soldiers’ everhardening attitudes toward villagers, as more of our troops were killed and wounded, speaks volumes of the futility of our efforts there and on battlefields further afield.

As U.S. forces support and mentor fighters in yet another ongoing struggle in Iraq and Syria, it’s worth considering where all this “engagement” is taking us. As in Afghanistan, the U.S. has very little influence over the battle that counts — the battle for political legitimacy in both countries. We’re told that eventually the Iraqi Army will retake the city of Fallujah from ISIS. But who will control the Iranian-backed Shiite militias who are lurking on the edges of the advancing government troops? Who will ensure that another sectarian bloodbath like that in Fallujah in 2004 that took the lives of 122 American troops and thousands of Iraqis will not be repeated?

Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Jordan – everywhere we look, everywhere we send our brave soldiers and diplomats, we should ask ourselves: Are we really able to tell these people how they should run their countries?

Maybe we can’t just withdraw from the whole mess — after all, Colin Powell’s “Pottery Barn Rules” apply (you broke it, you own it). But there comes a time when “we the people” have to ask whether we are making more enemies than friends with all this “engagement.”

1 Parking Deck Coming to Petoskey?

A site might have been selected for Petoskey’s first parking deck.

This summer a private firm will study two possible decks -- either mixed use or stand-alone -- that could be located at the Darling parking lot, said Downtown Director Becky Goodman.

The city needs more parking because planners want to see the upper stories of downtown buildings developed into residential units.

How many stories would the parking deck rise? Goodman knows that in a city without many tall buildings and where views are sacred, that’s going to be an important question. She said planners want to get 100 new spaces out of the structure, so the height would depend on whether the building contains other uses.

TORCH LAKE PARTY “CANCELLED”

Beatbox Beverages and other promoters are barred from throwing sandbar parties on Torch Lake for five years, according to a consent decree that resolves a Kalkaska County lawsuit.

The settlement is a victory for members of the Torch Lake Protection Alliance, who have sought to curb partying on the south end of the lake over summer holidays.

The consent decree, signed by Circuit Court Judge George Mertz, found that the Sandbar Party Bash of July 2016 violated the Inland Lakes and Streams Act, the Marine Safety Act, and the Michigan Environmental Protection Act, according to lawyers for the citizens group, Kristyn Houle and Karen Ferguson. TLPA also won default judgements against two other defendants, Brooks Ehlert, aka DJ Fade, and LansingParty.com.

Thousands of revelers turned up on foot or by boat at the sandbar last July 4 weekend. Opponents of the party hope the legal resolution and stepped up police patrols will prompt most of the partiers to go elsewhere this year.

LIZARD BRAIN

All you need is your fiancé, we supply the rest!

It has become clear he simply can't help it.

The fear in Donald Trump's lizard brain overrides whatever better instincts he might have, and the attacks soon follow.

Wedding Tents • Tables Chairs • Specialty Linen • China and Stemware • Dance Floors

Not that Trump has the brain of a lizard. The oldest and most basic part of our brains, the cerebellum, is sometimes called the lizard brain. It controls the primitive functions of life: heartbeat, breathing, the basics.

It's also home to our fight-or-flight reflex, triggered in the face of fear. It's where racism, sexism, misogyny and xenophobia are born, where the darkness in our souls lurks, awaiting the chance to escape

Empathy, sympathy, communication, the ability to make connections with other people, what we call humanity, all are located in newer parts of our brains.

Trump's more evolved brain is not part of his presidential campaign. It must be in there someplace, but it's his lizard brain we see in

The judge, of course, is not Mexican. He was born in Indiana. The “biased” and “unbelievable” rulings? They unsealed documents exposing the sham that was Trump University; legal experts confirm the rulings were perfectly appropriate. (It does make one wonder just whom President Trump would appoint to the federal bench.)

None of that matters to Trump nor most of his supporters. He's convinced them that they, too, should be afraid.

So terrified is Trump of Muslims that he'd like to prevent them from entering the U.S. altogether and thinks we should conduct surveillance on those already here. His vision of Islam is ISIS and Al-Qaeda, not the 1.5 billion Muslims doing nothing but living their lives or the millions peacefully and productively living here. Surveillance? On Kareem Abdul Jabbar?

Mexico has unleashed Trump's lizard brain in full.

Mexican illegal immigrants — he has mentioned no other nationality — he deems “bad people” who include rapists and murderers because “Mexico is not sending their best.” action. Trump is afraid of plenty, and his instinct is to fight, not flee.

His claims of egalitarian, merit-based workplaces notwithstanding, we've known Trump has had issues with women for a long time.

Read his earlier books with their remarkably demeaning passages about women. Or listen to interviews in which he says men shouldn't let their wives work, or that his first marriage ended because his wife spent too much time working — not because of his serial philandering, about which he likes to brag.

Strong women clearly frighten him. He doesn't understand them beyond how they might look on his arm or in his bed. He lashes out at their appearance, and weight, is uniquely dismissive of most women journalists, and blames women for their husband's misbehavior.

And his fear isn't just gender-specific; he's plenty frightened by different races, ethnicities and religions too. If he doesn't understand it, or it doesn't agree with his restrictive viewpoint, he insults, demeans and attempts to diminish.

Mexico has unleashed Trump's lizard brain in full. Mexican illegal immigrants — he has mentioned no other nationality — he deems “bad people” who include rapists and murderers because “Mexico is not sending their best.” That was the setup; Mexicans are bad people who shouldn't be trusted.

he should be disqualified. After all, Trump wants to build a wall.

The payoff is his more recent verbal assaults on a judge presiding over the civil trial involving Trump University. Trump says the judge should recuse himself because his rulings have been “biased” and “unbelievable” and — this is key — the judge is Mexican; so

Perhaps the fact that Trump gives voice, often unpleasantly so, to his fears is part of his winning formula — people are already thinking these heinous thoughts, so he'll just say them.

There is actually plenty of research indicating human beings are genetically encoded to be fearful and distrustful of people who don't look, speak, act or believe like they themselves do. Fortunately, most of us also have an evolved part of our brains that reassures us and allows us to learn, understand and reason. We know better than to condemn an entire ethnicity or religion even if our backgrounds and beliefs sometimes conflict.

Trump seems unable to make such a distinction. The Trump cerebellum is ever vigilant for anything outside his narrow vision. His reaction is the same on every occasion: attack.

Maybe he isn't afraid at all, maybe this isn't the Trump lizard brain at work. Maybe he's thought it over carefully and cynically decided that being a misogynist and bigot works to his advantage because it engages the lizard brains of his supporters: Evildoers are everywhere, but he will protect us.

His plan doesn't seem to be working. Despite his claims that he loves “the women,” “the Mexicans,” and “the blacks,” and they love him, the polls indicate otherwise. They show more than 60 percent of all women voters, 70 percent of Latino voters, and 80 percent of African-American voters say they will not vote for Trump under any circumstances. If those numbers are even remotely accurate, Trump's strategy will have worked in reverse.

He activated our lizard brains, and we chose to flee. From him.

Crime & Rescue TWO INJURED IN KNIFE FIGHT Two 27-year-old Northport men were hospitalized after a fight and a car crash.

Leelanau County Sheriff’s deputies were called at 1:39am June 5 to investigate a fight in the parking lot of Tucker’s of Northport, a restaurant and bowling alley. Witnesses told them a man had been stabbed after an argument escalated into a fight.

The man was taken to Munson Medical Center and deputies looked for the suspect, who had fled before they arrived.

An hour later, the suspect, Patrick Quain, was dropped off at Munson after a car crash. Quain suffered injuries from the crash, but also appeared to have suffered injuries in the fight.

Quain was treated, taken to jail and later charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm, assault with a dangerous weapon and being an habitual offender.

WOMAN KILLED IN CRASH A downtown Traverse City business owner died in a car crash.

Laurel Jane Loomis, 65, died after her Buick Lacross crossed into opposing traffic June 6 on US-31 at Three Mile Road, Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s deputies said.

Loomis crashed into a van driven by 50-yearold Manton resident Dale Thornburg. Thornburg suffered non-life threatening injuries.

The crash occurred at just before 9am and investigators were trying to determine what caused Loomis to cross the centerline.

Loomis was the owner of Raven’s Child, a women’s clothing store on Front Street.

DRIVER CRASHES INTO TREE A driver was airlifted from a crash scene after a rollover.

The 23-year-old Gaylord man lost control and rolled his vehicle into a tree while travelling on Weisheimer Road near Brutus Road in Emmet County’s Friendship Township, state police said.

The driver was flown to Munson Medical Center in Traverse City in serious condition. Police were called June 8 at 4:42pm.

DAD MEETING ENDS IN GUNFIRE Five men met at a darkened carwash parking lot to discus a bullying incident at school when one of them was punched in the face, retrieved a handgun from his truck and fired a round into the air.

The incident happened at 11:35pm June 3 in Kingsley after a pair of men in a pickup met three men who walked to the location on Lynx Road, Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Capt. Randy Fewless said.

Information like the age of the men’s sons or what the bullying incident involved was not available.

Fewless said the 47-year-old who fired the handgun was arrested for carrying a handgun without a permit and reckless discharge of a firearm. Deputies were not able to identify the suspect who punched the man because he left before police arrived.

OFFICE MANAGER CHARGED A man is accused of stealing $145,000 from his employer.

The owner of Jim’s Well Drilling contacted Crawford County Sheriff’s deputies in November about missing money and an investigation was launched.

Detectives determined that 36-year-old office manager Ryan B. Nelson siphoned money from the company to pay bills and that he used company credit to purchase items online. The alleged theft began in 2012.

The Grayling man faces a charge of embezzlement over $100,000, which carries up to 20 years in prison. He was arrested June 1.

TWO INJURED IN CRASH A man and his passenger were injured in a motorcycle crash.

The 44-year-old driver slowed down to turn around but lost control and drove into a ditch, throwing himself and his 40-year-old passenger from the bike, Leelanau County Sheriff’s deputies said.

The Traverse City man and woman were both seriously injured and taken to Munson Medical Center, though deputies said they were likely saved more serious or deadly injuries because both of them wore helmets.

The crash happened June 2 at 6:24pm on Fouch Road in Solon Township.

PARKING METER BANDIT BUSTED A man convicted of parking meter theft in Traverse City in 2012 faces charges again.

Police arrested the 67-year-old Jackson man June 1 after an investigation by police from Traverse City and downstate.

When detectives looked into an April theft in Traverse City, they noted that it was similar to the thefts four years earlier, when the suspect had used a key to empty change from parking meters across Traverse City and collected an estimated $70,000.

A stakeout led them to Douglas Charles Hastings, who faces charges of possession of burglary tools and being a four-time habitual offender, which means he could face life in prison.

The earlier case against Hastings was profiled in the Jan. 14, 2013 edition of the Northern Express.

DO’H! IN DRIVWAY Two bizarre incidents at a Traverse City home may be part of a juvenile prank.

Traverse City Police were called June 3 after a woman discovered baking dough dumped in her driveway on Steele Street.

There was a note attached to the dough that read: “Thanks for stealing my toilet – Pillsbury Doughboy,” said Chief Jeffrey O’Brien.

Investigators believe the incident is related to one a couple days earlier when the woman’s son discovered a pair of soiled women’s underpants attached to the tailgate of his truck.

FLEEING DRIVER ARRESTED A man who fled the scene of a rollover crash was later arrested for drunk driving.

Charlevoix County Sheriff’s deputies were called just past midnight June 9 after a rollover occurred on Lake 26 Road in Marion Township.

A witness told deputies the driver had taken off on foot and the 28-year-old Charlevoix man was soon tracked down.

He was taken for treatment to Munson Healthcare Charlevoix and then taken to jail.

Who's a Good Boy? Life is good now for British men who "identify" as dogs and puppies, as evidenced by a BBC documentary ("Secret Life of the Human Pups") showing men in body outfits (one a Lycra-suited Dalmatian, "Spot"), exhibiting "sexual" expressions (stomachrubbing, ear-tickling and nuzzling their "handlers"), eating out of bowls, gnawing on chew toys, wearing collars (so as not to be a "stray"), and jumping in the air for "treats."

(However, decency demands that a Pup must only feign urinating against a lamppost.)

Said Spot (aka Tom), "It's about being given license to behave in a way that feels natural, even primal." Added "Bootbrush," "(We) are trying to grasp the positive elements of the archetype of the dog."

New World Order -- As an alternative to the more costly in vitro fertilization, researchers at a Dresden, Germany, institute announced (in the recent Nano Letters journal) that they had developed a motorized device tiny enough to fit around a sperm's tail and which could be commanded to propel it to "swim" faster toward the target egg, increasing the chances of fertilization. A prototype is still in the works.

-- The Internet pornography behemoth PornHub recently added to the glut of physical fitness "apps" with one designed to help users tone up sexual muscles.

The BangFit's routines include the "squat and thrust," the "missionary press," and other ways to practice what the company describes as the "one activity people are always motivated to do and (for) which they are never too busy." (Imagine, for example, wrote Mashable.com, "quantify(ing) your dry humps.")

The Continuing Crisis As Libya's central bank struggles to stabilize a halting economy, it could surely use the estimated $184 million in gold and silver coins that Moammar Gadhafi minted but left buried in an underground vault in the coastal city of Beyda, but the treasure is inaccessible because central bank officials don't know the lock's combination (as The Wall Street Journal reported in May). The latest plan is to have a locksmith squeeze through a 16-by-16-inch hole in the outer vault's concrete wall and once inside to try his hand. If unsuccessful, the government's bureaucrats likely cannot get paid, but even if successful, various anti-government factions may go to extremes to snatch the coins.

Bright Ideas Argentina's TV channels have many of the same taboos as U.S. broadcasting, including restrictions on women's handson demonstration of how precisely to examine themselves for breast cancer.

However, as AdWeek reported in March, the agency David Buenos Aires apparently solved the problem with an explicit TV public service announcement featuring a model (facing the camera, topless) showing exactly how such an exam should go, e.g., where to press down, where to squeeze. The secret? The model was an overweight man with generous-sized "manboobs."

Wait, What?

-- Video surfaced in May of students

at Winston Churchill High School in San Antonio, Texas, actually playing jump rope with the intestines of cats that had been dissected in biology class. Obviously, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals was not pleased, but school district officials called the exercise a valid demonstration of the "tensile strength of the organ" and only reluctantly agreed to investigate further.

-- When Triston Chase, 20, missed his court date in April in Harnett County, North Carolina, on financial fraud charges, it was revealed that his arrest in December had come when he had been found "residing" illegally, as a civilian, in a barracks at Fort Bragg -- in a facility housing the Army's 3rd Special Forces Group. According to a prosecutor, Chase had been posing as an explosive ordnance disposal specialist "for months." The official investigation of Special Forces' barracks "security" was still underway at the time of Chase's court date.

Everyone Deserves a Second Chance (1) Efrain Delgado-Rosales was sentenced to five years in prison in March for smuggling noncitizens into the country.

(The Border Patrol had caught him 23 times previously, but had declined to file charges.)

(2) Sean Pelfrey, 38, told his judge in May that the two assault charges against him in Framingham, Massachusetts, do not make him a "threat to society," even though the current arrest was his 38th. (3) Matthew Freeland, 29, was convicted of several homeinvasion offenses in Kingston, Ontario, in May, and the judge, considering a proper sentence, found only two previous probation orders -- but then, looking further, found 59 convictions and sentenced Freeland to more than two years in prison.

Weird Animals Among the critters for which life is most difficult are male nursery web spiders that (according to May research in Biology Letters journal) instinctively "court" females with food wrapped in silk -- offerings that (a) increase the males' chances of scoring and (b) decrease, by 84 percent, their chances that the female will spontaneously eat the male. The study also found that males sometimes try to mate using nonfood items wrapped in silk (with mixed results) and also that sometimes unscrupulous females accept food gifts but nevertheless immediately devour the male.

Least Competent Criminals South Carolina Chutzpah! (1) James Kinley III, 27, was charged in York County, South Carolina, in May with dealing marijuana. He apparently had the (unfounded) belief that York County deputies do not monitor Craigslist -because that is where Kinley advertised ("I Sell Weed"), in a notice with his photo, address and price ($200). (2) Grady Carlson, 58, went to the Carolina Title Loans office in Spartanburg, South Carolina, on May 25 to apply for a high-interest "payday" loan -- and nervously paced while answering questions. The Carolina employee asked if anything was wrong, and Carlson allegedly disclosed that he needed money -- fast! -- to purchase methamphetamine. A subsequent police search turned up a glass container and drugs.

By Patrick Sullivan Alyssa Goch took an unfamiliar road back downstate after a business trip to Traverse City last summer. When her 2007 Pontiac Vibe reached the first half of the S-curve on M-37 north of Buckley, the sharp turn took her by surprise.

Coming the other way, Deanna and Anthony Erving straddled their silver 2003 BMW motorcycle. The couple, ages 50 and 57, were one day shy of their third wedding anniversary.

Goch told police that she had felt unsteady when she reached the top of the curve, so she hit her brakes, causing her car to slide across the center line of the rain-coated highway. The vehicles crashed head-on. Anthony Erving died at the scene; Deanna Erving died later that day at the hospital.

A VERY COMPLICATED CASE How do you make sense of such a terrible crash, such senseless loss of life?

Grand Traverse County Sheriff ’s investigators and county prosecutors summed it up like this: Goch violated traffic laws by driving too fast for conditions; she caused the crash and should be held responsible for the deaths.

Goch’s attorney deemed the case more complicated. He claimed that Goch shouldn’t be held responsible because Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) officials have known for years of the danger this section of highway presented and have failed to realigned the curve.

Goch, now 27, was charged with two counts of moving violation causing death for the Aug. 2, 2015 crash. The case surrounding the misdemeanor grew into one of the most complicated and time-consuming ever seen in the 86th District Court in Traverse City. The trial was held over four days in May, and Goch was found guilty of both counts. She faces up to a year in jail when she’s sentenced June 17.

A DANGEROUS

ROAD

Death on a curve near Buckley prompts a question: Who is responsible for safety on our roads — the people who maintain them, or the drivers who drive them?

12 • june 13, 2016 • Northern Express Weekly

“I JUST KILLED TWO PEOPLE” Kit Tholen, assistant prosecuting attorney for Grand Traverse County, said the decisive evidence in the case was testimony from an Indiana pastor whom Goch passed just prior to the crash.

Brandon Collins testified that his cruise control was set to 55 mph when Goch came up from behind; he said her impatience at driving the speed limit was visible in his rearview mirror. He testified that she tailgated him and made expressions he believed were meant to show her frustration.

At the crest of the hill, before a descent to the first curve, and before signs warn drivers to slow to 40 mph, the pastor said Goch passed him.

“He sees the recommended speed sign, the curve, and then he says audibly to his wife and friend, ‘She’s got to slow down, she’s going to crash,’” Tholen said. “Then he sees the motorcycle coming the other way.”

In the wake of the crash, Goch exited her smashed-up car in a daze. “[According to Collins’ testimony] she’s saying repeatedly, over and over, ‘I was going too fast. I just killed two people. It was my fault,’” Tholen said.

A BOMBSHELL AT TRIAL The testimony of Goch’s spontaneous confession came as a surprise to her defense team.

Goch’s attorney, Jesse Williams, said that had they known Collins would attribute such a statement to his client, they likely would have urged Goch to plead guilty.

Williams said he was shocked by Collins’ claims. He said there was no indication in police reports or in communication with the prosecutor’s office that forewarned of that

The crushed aggregate added to the surface of a curve on M-37 north of Buckley just days after a double fatal crash.

kind of testimony.

“That was, in my opinion, just flat out sandbagging,” Williams said. “A prosecutor’s job is to pursue justice, not to seek mere convictions.”

Williams believes the testimony is the reason the jury only deliberated for 74 minutes after a trial that lasted four days.

Tholen said that everything about the case — the motions, the pretrial hearings, the posture of the defense team — told him this case was going to go to trial no matter what. He felt it was unnecessary to inform the defense about the bombshell testimony.

“She doesn’t think she did anything wrong,” he said. “That was the sense I got, and I got that through the pretrial phase.”

TUG-OF-WAR OVER EVIDENCE Williams tried everything he could to focus the case on MDOT’s ongoing management —or mismanagement — of the road.

For Williams, documents going back to the 1980s, as well as more recent emails about road repairs he received through Freedom of Information Act requests, suggested an institutional failure at work. He believes officials have known for decades that the corner is deadly. They’ve made recommendations to realign the curve. And yet nothing has happened to remedy the issue.

“There’s a very long documented history of a known problem,” Williams said. “The geometry of the roadway is the problem.”

An MDOT spokesman said he cannot comment on ongoing court cases.

Williams ran into roadblocks when he attempted to mount this defense, but he was tenacious; he didn’t stop arguing that the road was at fault, even after judges told him to stop.

After District Court Judge Thomas Phillips ruled against him, Williams convinced Phillips to disqualify himself, because Phillips had inadvertently made a comment during a hearing that assisted prosecutors in coming up with a strategy. Williams ob-

NEGLIGENT OR NOT Goch was charged under a relatively new Michigan law titled “moving violation causing death,” a misdemeanor that in 2010 replaced negligent homicide. The important distinction is that the state is no long obligated to prove a person was negligent in order to hold them accountable for a highway death. The state needs only to prove that a driver was guilty of a moving violation and that the infraction caused someone to die.

That change of law was meant to simplify prosecutions, but in this case, it had the opposite effect.

Prosecutors argued that because they didn’t have to prove negligence, the condition of the road was irrelevant; all they needed was to prove that Goch was driving too fast for conditions.

Tholen wrote: “Evidence which tends to show that she was not negligent, or perhaps less negligent, is not relevant at trial. This would include not only evidence of roadway surface changes or plans to change the roadway's path but also evidence of other crashes at that location.”

Nonetheless, after the trial, Tholen said he is confident that even if he would have had to prove negligence, he could have proved it based on the testimony.

Williams said he doesn’t believe Goch was shown to have been negligent or to have committed a moving violation.

“She wasn’t cited for speeding, and there was no forensic evidence indicating that she was — it’s pure speculation,” he said. “We’re saying that the accident did not occur because of human error. The accident would not have occurred but for the road.” jected, and Phillips recused himself.

Williams later argued that Judge Michael Stepka also should disqualify himself, saying he believed Stepka was biased against his client after Williams demanded an evidentiary hearing on MDOT admissibility issues; Stepka denied that was the case. Tholen argued that Williams was merely attempting to revisit a legal question he had already lost.

The court agreed with Tholen’s argument, confirming that what mattered in the case was how Goch drove her car.

As trial approached, the frustration of all sides leaps off of the pages of transcripts:

MDOT documents; by 2015, a human life was valued at $9.4 million, according to a United States Department of Transportation calculation created in 1993.

Juxtapose that with the estimated cost of making the road safer: In 1986, a proposal was floated among MDOT and USDOT to either flatten each of the curves for a cost of $950,000, or to re-route the road on a diagonal between the two curves for $1.16 million.

Today MDOT officials estimate the cost of realigning the curves as being between $3 an $4 million. Williams believes fatality statistics prove the road should be realigned; four

“There’s a very long documented history

of a known problem,” Williams said.

“The geometry of the roadway is the problem.”

Williams became furious that he could not argue the road was at fault. Stepka grew frustrated that Williams would not accept the ruling. Stepka ultimately allowed a limited amount of MDOT evidence to be introduced, ultimately enabling the defense to establish a basis for bringing in a defense expert to testify about the crash.

HISTORY OF A DANGEROUS ROAD MDOT’s process for making roads safer isn’t foolproof. It identifies problem sections of roads, calculates what a fix would cost, and determines — through complex formulas that include the costs of injury and death — which projects are worth completing and which are not.

Officials considered reengineering this particular S-curve on M-37 in the 1980s and again in the early 1990s, but ultimately, both proposals were scrapped.

In 1990, the value of a statistical human life was placed at $410,00, according to

people have died on the curve since 2013.

(The total number of fatalities at that curve for years prior is unknown.)

Still, officials have made other changes to the road, which they believe have made it safer.

Yellow and black chevron signs were added in the late 1980s to mark the curve, and when officials revisited the idea of realigning the road in the early 1990s, they determined the signs had made the curve much safer.

In 2014, in reaction to a double fatal crash in 2013 involving a semi and wet conditions, MDOT approved the resurfacing of the curve with a high friction surface material made of crushed aggregate and resin, an endeavor that totaled $131,000.

Unfortunately, the announcement that MDOT would the apply the new surface material to the curve was made days before the crash that killed the Ervings; the actual application wasn’t completed until weeks after.

THE BIG QUESTION Even Williams concedes that a poorly designed road does not absolve a driver of his or her responsibility to drive carefully.

But he insists that the state failed when it failed to redesign the road after earlier fatalities at the same section. Had the curve been softened, he argues, the crash would not have happened.

Tholen said the road conditions are taken into account in the law. Goch was found by a jury to have committed the moving violation of driving too fast for conditions, and that takes the entirety of the circumstances into consideration.

If MDOT memos and emails and the history of the highway would have been allowed at trial, said Tholen, it would have only complicated the issue. “I think the biggest thing is, it’s a distraction,” Tholen said. “The focus was on her actions and her behavior that day. For example, the fact that a semitruck driver two years earlier to that had lost control on wet roads with an empty trailer when he was going approximately 40 miles an hour — I don’t think that has any bearing on her actions and behavior that day.”

Some roads are more dangerous than others, Tholen argued in a motion. Most drivers pay attention and drive accordingly.

“Literally millions of vehicles pass through this curve each year without incident,” Tholen wrote. “Her moving violation, not the roadway, caused the deaths of Anthony and Deanna Erving.”

There is one question in which both sides agree.

Should the state take more drastic efforts to ensure safety at that curve?

Williams said rumble strips or a lower speed limit should be considered. The state also could install flashing lights to warn drivers as they approach the curve.

Tholen agrees.

“There could be more markings.

Whether it makes it better or not, I don't know,” he said.

By Kristi Kates The Charlotte Ross Lee Concerts in the Park series, a summer staple, really begins in February. That’s when the Crooked Tree Arts Center (CTAC) starts receiving phone calls from music fans wondering when their favorite musicians will perform … in June.

That’s how popular the Charlotte Ross Lee Concerts in the Park series has become for downtown Petoskey; so popular, in fact, that it’s spawned two additional music series, providing plenty of local entertainment all summer long.

FIRST NOTE Carlin Smith, president of the Petoskey Regional Chamber of Commerce, once called Charlotte Ross Lee “the champion of this community event.” A music fan who played the piano, Lee wanted to share music with the Petoskey community and founded the concert series in the late ’70s, raising the money, booking the shows, and making all of the preparations herself. Lee passed away in 2000, but her namesake concert series continues as her legacy, right where it began: at the Pennsylvania Park gazebo in downtown Petoskey, with concerts on Tuesdays, Wednesday, and Fridays at noon throughout the summer months.

LOCAL LONGEVITY “The longevity truly is found in the original spirit from Charlotte. She knew the setting was prime for both audience and musicians,” said Liz Ahrens, CTAC’s executive director.

“She was hoping local business owners and workers would take their lunch hour in the park if they could enjoy music.” If the weather is threatening, the concerts are moved inside to CTAC’s theater, but the shows are never cancelled. “The crowds tend to be smaller indoors, but the musicians count on the work, and many audience members travel to Petoskey to hear the performances,” Ahrens said.

2 miles west of downtown traverse city 5085 barney road 49684 (231) 947-1063 Also visit us at www.rollinghillsantiques.com

“Plus, visitors always enjoy our summer exhibits and galleries filled with local artwork when the shows are moved indoors, so it’s still an artistic experience for all!”

YEARLY FAVORITES The 2016 Charlotte Ross Lee concert series is set to include many repeat performers; this is intentional, as they’re highly anticipated by their fans, Ahrens explained. Featured acts this year include local legends Robin Lee Berry and Glenn Wolff; folk favorite Kirby Snively; classic rockers the James Greenway Band; harmonic sibling duo Penny and Radel Rosin, known as Oh Brother Big Sister; lounge singer Pete Kehoe; and longtime blues outfit The Jelly Roll Blues Band. CTAC’s Performing Arts Coordinator Carina Hume already has a favorite show picked out: “I’m looking forward to Jetty Rae as a newcomer to the series,” Hume said, “and her mixture of tunes for both adults and kids.”

NEW INSPIRATION The other two series inspired by the original?

Music on the Bidwell Plaza and the CTAC Summer Artisan Market. The former returns to CTAC Thursdays at noon all summer long; it has a heavier focus on jazz and strings this season and includes performances by CTAC’s own jazz combo, jazz chamber quartet, and jazz orchestra, as well as The Moxie Strings and Spectrum Brass. The CTAC Summer Artisan Market, which features everything from baked goods and coffee roasters to pottery, also will include music on Friday mornings from 11am to 1pm, with the market performers coordinated by Blissfest. It may be a common phrase for this type of event, but there really is something for everyone. “Today, from newborns to seniors, the audience is all ages,” Ahrens said.

Men of Cherry Capital Chorus in 1985.

celebrates a half-century

T

By Ross Boissoneau he men of Cherry Capital Chorus might not sing for their supper, but if they chose to, they’d likely earn a three-star Michelin-rated meal.

The barbershop-style vocal group certainly has had a lot of practice. It’s celebrating a half-century of harmonizing at its annual June Night of Harmony on June 25 at Lars Hockstad Auditorium.

“I think it’s a big deal for anything that lasts that long, especially a community organization,” said Carly McCall, the group’s director and the lone female in the group.

Except McCall, the members of Cherry Capital Chorus are all male; the group’s all-female counterpart is the Grand Traverse Show Chorus, a local branch of Sweet Adelines International.

“It is uncommon to have a director of the opposite sex,” said McCall, “but it happens. In our district, I think there are two of us.”

McCall boasts a wealth of experience. She has a degree in voice education and has directed numerous choirs. But she didn’t come to be a member of the men’s group until, as a member of the GT Show Chorus, she found herself in need of a male chorus for a presentation of White Christmas at Old Town Playhouse. When she asked the Cherry Capital Chorus for help, the group quickly obliged. But it needed something in return — a chorus director. When the group and McCall hit it off, their partnership was born.

The chorus currently has around 30 active members, and they are hoping to be joined onstage by enough former members to make it 50 at 50. That means Maurie Allen, longtime owner of the Captain’s Quarters in downtown TC, will get to sing with some old friends; he’s the only member who has been in the ensemble since its inception.

“There were 12 of us when we first gathered in 1966,” said Allen.

“We liked to sing and thought we’d organize a group. In a matter of a few weeks, we were up to 21.”

Allen has seen many singers come and go in the 49 years since he joined. Membership topped out at around 90 at one point. “We’ve

gone through the membership list. [Total membership over the years] is up in the hundreds.

“It’s a chance to get together and sing. What’s kept me in it is it’s such a great group of guys from all walks of life. We’ve had lots of fellowship,” he said. The fellowship has come not only in singing, but in golfing, camping, fish fry events, and general camaraderie among the members and their families.

The Cherry Capital Chorus is an unusual musical assemblage in that there are no auditions, no references, no requirements of any sort other than an enjoyment of singing. “You don’t have to read music or have voice lessons. All you have to do is love to sing,” said McCall.

“Nathan is a great example,” she continued, referring to Nathan Tarsa, the group’s current president. “He loves to sing. His wife said, ‘It’s on your bucket list. Why don’t you do it now?’”

Tarsa came to his post innocently enough. He was looking for a unique Valentine’s gift for his wife, Tammy. The Cherry Capital Chorus offers Singing Valentines. For Tarsa, that was just the ticket, a quartet showing up at Tammy’s workplace to serenade her. “I didn’t have to shop or wrap it,” he said with a laugh.

From there it was on to singing himself, though he readily admits he’s one of those without a lot of experience. “I’ve always been fascinated [by singing] and thought I might want to do it sometime.

For a guy with no musical experience, they made me feel welcome and comfortable.”

Barbershop harmony relies on four parts: Lead, tenor, baritone and bass. “The really neat thing about barbershop is you can apply it to any type of music: patriotic, Broadway, gospel, singing with a symphony,” said Allen.

The June Night of Harmony will feature the chorus as a whole, as well as individual quartets and a guest quartet. This year’s guest is a cappella vocal ensemble Vocal Spectrum. Vocal Spectrum is an International Champion, gaining that prize in 2006. “That makes this extremely special,” said Tarsa.

Tickets for the show are $15 each, $10 for children 10 and under. Go to MyNorthTickets.com or call (800) 836-0717.

MEANS STREET MUSIQUE! Downtown Music Series Returns to Harbor Springs

By Kristi Kates Street Musique started in the mid ’90s, founded by local Sheryl McCleary (of Tom’s Mom’s Cookies) and expanded further with the support of Blissfest and Blissfest guru Jim Gillespie’s ear for talent.

Today, it’s a must-see showcase for both local community talent and a diverse roster of visiting musicians, bands, and other live performers that appear throughout downtown Harbor Springs every Thursday night in summer.

DIVERSE SOUNDS Street Musique has expanded in a number of ways since the program’s inception, explained Rachel Smolinski, who runs the event with the continued assistance of Blissfest and her co-chair, Mary Catherine Hannah. “We have increased the number

of musicians playing each night by adding locations, as well as rotating some of our locations to give the musicians and visitors different spots to enjoy different types of music without stepping on each other,” she said.

The music also has been diversified, and now includes everything from string quartets to world music to indie-rockers. “We have tried to make sure there is something for everyone,” Smolinski said.

BLISSFUL BEATS Blissfest performers are included in the Street Musique roster both as a special treat for Street Musique audiences and as extra exposure for the artists before they appear at the festival. This year, Blissfest runs July 8–10 out at the Bliss Festival Farm in Harbor Springs. The July 7 Street Musique performers will include several Blissfest performers: Nathan and Jessie Band, a jazz four-piece; The Boxcar Boys, playing swing and Klezmer

music (a musical tradition of the Ashkenazi Jews of Eastern Europe); and Goldie and the Screamers, a neo-soul group featuring local native CaroMia Humphrey, who now lives in North Carolina.

PRO PERFORMERS Several Youth and Emerging Musicians nights also highlight street performers like juggler Tommy Tropic and magician Jania Taylor. In addition to these performers, and those arriving courtesy of Blissfest, this summer’s Street Musique roster will include performances by Duffy King, Sean Gaskell, The Sunshine String Band, the Peacemeal String Band, The Pistil Whips, and The Moxie Strings, among others.

AUDIO APPEAL As for the performers themselves, this should be a great year to be a street musician, thanks to the proliferation of new res-

taurants and revitalization of the downtown Harbor Springs area. Performance spaces on Third Street (aka Art Gallery Row) and down by the waterfront have increased both the visibility and audio appeal of the program, and both Smolinski and Gillespie only see a bright future for Street Musique.

“I think the community has really embraced this program, and Street Musique will certainly complement all the restaurants, both old and new,” Gillespie said.

Street Musique runs every Thursday, 7–9pm, in downtown Harbor Springs now until Labor Day. A current schedule of Street Musique performers may be viewed at visitmichiganupnorth.com. Donations to help support Street Musique may be mailed to the Harbor Springs Chamber Foundation at 368 East Main Street, Harbor Springs, MI 49740. Donations are tax deductible.

By Kristi Kates

While the list of shows Up North is long and varied each summer, some bands and artists never quite make it up this far, so you have to road trip downstate to see them live. But which ones are worth the drive? We’ve sifted through the scads of shows and selected all the can’t-miss concerts worth the ride.

JUNE 19 PAUL SIMON at Meadow Brook Amphitheatre The legendary Simon has a brand new album out (May’s Stranger to Stranger), which of course means it’s a perfect time for a tour.

While you’ll definitely hear a few tracks from his new set, Simon recently told Rolling Stone that he knows people attend his shows to hear the hits, so you’ll also get a solid dose of “You Can Call Me Al” and “Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard.” Just don’t expect Garfunkel to show up; the two aren’t on speaking terms.

JUNE 30 STING AND PETER GABRIEL at The Palace of Auburn Hills The Rock Paper Scissors Tour brings together two of modern rock’s founding fathers. Each of these artists has a long list of hits familiar to pretty much everyone, from Sting’s “Fields of Gold” to Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer.” The really cool thing is that while they will each perform tracks from their own lengthy catalogs, they’ll also perform some of each others’ songs and duet on a few as well.

JULY 3 MODEST MOUSE AND BRAND NEW at DTE Energy Music Theater This tour teams up two college alt-rock staples, both of which will play full headlining sets. They’ve also eschewed opening acts so that the full concert will only include the

headlining pair, all the better for devoted fans. Modest Mouse are still promoting their 2015 set, Strangers to Ourselves, while Brand New recently released a new single, “Mene,” and is prepping an album for later this year.

JULY 8 WEEZER AND PANIC! AT THE DISCO at DTE Energy Music Theater Speaking of alt-rock legends, few took over the ’90s better than Weezer, who is on tour with Panic!, as well as opening act Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness for a long night of hits. Panic!’s latest album, the ambitious Death of a Bachelor, was released back in January, while Weezer’s new eponymous set (also referred to as their White album), surfaced in April; it’s likely both bands will draw on their respective back catalogues as well.

JULY 18 HALL AND OATES WITH SHARON JONES AND THE DAP-KINGS at DTE Energy Music Theater The ’80s throwback duo is arriving in Detroit with Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings in tow. From Hall and Oates, you’ll likely recognize songs like “Rich Girl,” “You Make My Dreams,” and “Private Eyes,” while Jones and crew will bring soul and funk; you’ll also get a sneak peek at opening act Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue, one of the performers booked for this year’s Traverse City Microbrew and Music Fest.

JULY 22 VANS WARPED TOUR at The Palace of Auburn Hills 75 punk, emo, and alt-rock bands all in one night? That’s the idea of the Vans Warped Tour, an onstage extravaganza that this year will include headlining sets from Falling in Reverse, Good Charlotte, Less Than Jake, and New Found Glory, as well as additional performances from Reel Big Fish, Sum 41, Atreyu, Bullet for My Valentine, and the Monster Energy Party Zone with heavier bands and more slam-dancing. Lace your Vans up extra tight.

AUGUST 2 GWEN STEFANI WITH EVE at DTE Energy Music Theater Stefani is celebrating her first No. 1 solo album (This Is What the Truth Feels Like) with this extensive trek, on which she’s bringing along her pal Eve as opening act. No word yet on whether or not this pair of cool girls will team up for their joint single track onstage during the tour, but you can count on songs new and old from Stefani (including her hit single, “Make Me Like You”) and plenty of oughties hip-hop retro gold from Eve. AUGUST 6 THE ART OF RAP at the Freedom Hill Amphitheater Following in the footsteps of Ice T’s critically acclaimed film documentary, Something from Nothing: The Art of Rap, this collective festival show rounds up rap and hip-hop

celebs and legends like Grandmaster Melle Mel, Mobb Deep, Public Enemy, Naughty by Nature, Sugarhill Gang, and T himself. Old school hip-hop musician and MC Busy Bee will serve as master of ceremonies for this rap history-spanning lineup.

AUGUST 9 PITBULL WITH PRINCE ROYCE at DTE Energy Music Theater His actual name is Armando Christian Pérez, but you probably know him as Pitbull, the Florida hip-hop and house artist best known for his No. 1 single “Give Me Everything,” and his 2014 FIFA World Cup anthem “We Are One (Ole Ola)” with Jennifer Lopez. He’s currently cranking up these jams and more across the country, including Detroit, as part of his Bad Man Tour, on which he’s bringing along Bronx R&B artist Prince Royce as opener.

AUGUST 19 I LOVE THE ’90S at DTE Energy Music Theater As summer winds down, you can relive the ’90s with this energetic retro variety show tour, headlined by the era’s trendsetting hiphop icons Salt ’n Pepa and their cohort Spinderella. Also bringing back the baggy jeans and spandex for these shows will be “Ice Ice Baby” singer Vanilla Ice; “Funky Cold Medina”/”Wild Thing” performer Tone Loc; award-winning rapper Coolio (“Gangsta’s Paradise”); plus DJ Rob Base, All 4 One, and Kid ’n Play.

Attention Back Pain and Sciatica Sufferers!

Back By Request…

Back Pain and Sciatica Workshop Reveals How to Naturally Heal Back Pain and Sciatica For Good.

• Do you suffer with back pain or leg pain when you stand or walk?

• Do you have pain when you sit for long periods or drive?

• Do you experience pain, numbness or tingling into your butt, groin or down your leg?

• Does your back ever “go out” if you move the wrong way?

• Are you afraid your pain will get worse if you don’t do anything about it?

• If you have answered YES to any of the above questions (or have a stubborn spouse who is in denial) – the Lower Back and Sciatica Workshop may be a life changing event for you…

“The most important thing that I took home from this workshop was that there is HOPE. After a car accident that fractured my sternum I began having severe lower back pain. The week before I attended this workshop I was on vacation with my husband and I couldn’t even walk. This workshop showed me that traditional treatments focusing only on my lower back symptoms are not enough. I was able to focus on my upper back mobility and my hip mobility and I am able to sleep again without pain. It is amazing. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone suffering with lower back pain.” Anne Smith Back pain and sciatica can completely ruin your life…I’ve seen it many times.  It can make you lean on the shopping cart when walking through the grocery store (how embarrassing)…  It can take your focus away on enjoying your life…like spending time with your children or grandchildren…  It can mess up your work or force you to do a job you don’t want to do…  It can ruin your travel plans…  And it can take away your ability to live life…having to rely on others…or to wait for you to sit down for a minute.

And less movement and enjoying of life can lead to depression, increased stress and a sedentary lifestyle (mostly sitting…not moving much) which leads to bigger health problems…and life problems.

Here at the Sciatica and Lower Back Specialists at Superior Physical Therapy, we’ve helped 100’s of people from right here in Traverse City…and the rest of Grand Traverse County…who have suffered needlessly with lower back pain and sciatica…it’s our specialty.

So by request, I’m hosting a Sciatica and Lower Back Pain Workshop here at Superior Physical Therapy 3899 West Front Street, Traverse City, MI Saturday June 25 from 10-12pm.

If you’re confused about what to do and looking for answers, here’s some of what you’ll learn:  The Single Biggest #1 Mistake back pain and sciatica sufferers make which actually stops them from healing…  The 3 Most Common Causes of Lower Back Pain and Sciatica…  A Sure-Fire Way to Pick the Right Treatment for the Cause of Your Pain (and save you a ton of time and money)  How a problem in your back can cause pain, numbness or tingling in your leg…

 What successful treatment and permanent relief looks like without the side effects of medications, injections or surgery.

By Kristi Kates If you’ve lived in or visited Michigan for any length of time, chances are you know about many of the Upper Peninsula’s highlights: Tahquamenon Falls, Whitefish Bay, the Hancock copper mines, and Pictured Rocks.

But there are plenty of lesser-known sights that also deserve a spot on the U.P.’s must-see list, from the beautiful to the unusual to the just plain fun. Here are ten to start with:

THE LES CHENEAUX ISLANDS

Les Cheneaux means “the channels,” and that’s exactly what you’ll find weaving in and out among this picturesque grouping of three dozen small islands along the Upper Peninsula’s Lake Huron shoreline, 30 miles northeast of Mackinac Island. Nearby mainland towns Cedarville and Hessel offer plenty of lodging, shopping, restaurants, and marinas, making either the perfect place to set up base for your boating or kayaking adventure. Pack up your sunscreen, beverage, and lunch, and get ready to explore an alphabetical list of watery wilderness, beginning with Alligator Island and Bear Island and continuing to Rover Island, Strongs Island, and Winona Island.

More information: lescheneaux.org

KITCH-ITI-KIPI

Michigan’s largest freshwater spring’s name actually means “big cold water,” and Kitchiti-kipi originally was called “The Mirror of Heaven” by the early Native Americans. One look will tell you why: Its glassy oval pool is about 40 feet deep, emerald green at its furthest depths, and so clear that the fish appear to be suspended in nothing. Step onto the observation raft (you can pull it across the pool yourself with a cable), and you’ll be able to look over the side or through the viewing windows to see mineral-encrusted tree branches and shifting colors caused by the spring’s constantly moving currents of sand.

It’s mystical, beautiful, and it must be seen in-person; all you need to see it is a Michigan State Parks vehicle permit.

More information: michigan.gov/dnr

LAKENENLAND SCULPTURE PARK

More classic Americana can be found at this park of quirky and extremely creative scrap iron sculptures by craftsman Tom Lakenen.

You can choose to walk or drive through the 37-acre sculpture yard, or even bring a picnic lunch along as you view such eclectic artworks as rebar alligators, space aliens, colorful invented wildlife, and giant metal flowers. Lakenenland is completely free, and Mr. Lakenen generously provides rest areas, a fire pit, and sometimes even coffee, so he always appreciates donations. (Oh, and don’t mind the 1998 website design when you look up directions to the place; it’s all part of its retro charm.)

More information: lakenenland.com

MINERS CASTLE ROCK

You’ve probably heard of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. But if you haven’t yet visited Miners Castle Rock about six miles east of Munising, you’re missing out. This is a fairly easy-to-access U.P. spot with an enormous payoff: a paved trail leads to three separate overlook points (some stairs are involved) showcasing broad vistas across Lake Superior and out to Grand Island. These are fantastic spots for photo opportunities, and if you’re lucky you might even see a bald eagle.

More information: exploremunising.com

GLASS BOTTOM SHIPWRECK TOURS

If you’ve ever wanted to see some of the massive shipwrecks of Lake Superior but don’t have the skills or the interest in diving, these tours are the answer. Float above the lake’s “underwater museum,” and you’ll travel back through the days of American shipping history by way of a two-hour trek on a glassbottom boat that affords remarkable views of shipwreck sites, including a fully intact wooden sailing ship that was built before the Civil War and now resides only a few feet below the water’s surface. Each tour includes full historical narration, plus topside views that include the East Channel Lighthouse and the rocks and caves of Grand Island.

More information: shipwrecktours.com

OSWALD’S BEAR RANCH

Oswald’s opened in 1997 and today claims to be the largest bear ranch in the United States, boasting 29 roaming black bears in four habitats. Elevated viewing platforms allow visitors a barrier-free view of the bears as they roam in natural habitat enclosures that include plenty of trees and even waterfalls. Dean and Jewel Oswald are the bears’ keepers. The bear ranch started when the DNR asked Dean Oswald to look after one abandoned bear cub after another, and it just “never stopped,” he said. Now, the Oswalds

are a member of the Zoological Association of America and offer plenty of information and stories about these massive and smart animals that share their property.

More information: oswaldsbearranch.com

MOUNT ARVON

Mount Arvon is said to be the highest natural point in the state of Michigan, with an elevation of 1,979.238 feet. Access to this rugged mountain has been improved over the past several years; the logging road has been graded, and blue signs direct visitors up to a parking area from which they can walk the rest of the way to the pinnacle. Most vehicles can handle the road, but you can hike it if you’re prepped for a trek of 16 miles (eight in; eight back). If you’re particularly brave, you can even snowshoe or cross-country ski up in the wintertime. At the top, some of the trees have been cleared near the northwest corner, providing a great view over Lake Superior’s Huron Bay and the Keweenaw Peninsula. This is definitely one to tick off of your bucket list of Michigan sights. Make sure you open the steel mailbox at the summit, so that you can mark your visit by signing the logbook inside.

More information: michigan.org (search Mount Arvon)

THE STANNARD ROCK LIGHT

Considered one of America’s Top 10 engineering feats, the Stannard Rock Light was built in 1882, 24 miles from land on a Lake Superior reef that’s essentially an underwater mountain, rising to a depth of just four feet below the surface in places — and a notorious hazard to ships. Lighthouse keepers have long called it “the loneliest place in North America,” and its light is still maintained by the Coast Guard as a navigation aid. Visit it by charter boat (exterior only), and you’ll get an overwhelming, eerie sense of truly being in the middle of nowhere.

Less lonely: You can fish on the way there.

More information: shelterbaycharterfishing.com or daybreakfish.com

Clockwise from top left: The Les Cheneaux Islands are a paradise for boaters and paddlers.

The Mystery Spot in St. Ignace plays with the concepts of gravity and optical illusions.

Mount Avron is said to be the highest natural point in both the U.P. and the state.

The top of Miners Castle Rock offers big views across Lake Superior.

One talented craftsman built a “junkyard” sculpture park all on his own in the U.P.

THE MYSTERY SPOT

St. Ignace’s longtime tourist attraction The Mystery Spot claims to be a place where “gravity is a little different.” The jury’s out on that claim, but this place definitely captures the essence of roadside Americana. Take the Mystery Spot tour, put your skepticism aside, and simply enjoy the optical illusions and the cheerful staff as tall people appear to be shorter, balls roll uphill, and chairs (that you can sit on!) balance on two legs along the walls. You might be able to figure out the tricks if you think about it, but the whole experience is still a heck of a lot of fun.

More information: mysteryspotstignace.com

PIERS GORGE

Two levels of Piers Gorge exist for the Upper Peninsula adventurer. The rapids themselves, a fast-moving section of the Menominee River, feature 10-foot drops like Misicot Falls and rough water sections dubbed with names like Volkswagen and Hell Hole. They call it “Mother Nature’s roller coaster,” and this part of the Gorge is perfect if you enjoy the adrenaline rush of crashing across the water on a kayak or guided raft tour. If that sounds like a bit too much, you can still enjoy the Gorge from its shores, via an extensive network of hiking trails and modern footbridges, all with gorgeous views of the rapids, plus opportunities to see osprey and waterfowl.

GILLS ’N

THRILLS

LURES AND SOME OF THEIR VICTIMS.

By Al Parker

K

ayla Moore sits quietly in the stern of the fishing boat and gazes out over the darkening waters of Otsego Lake, south of Gaylord.

The 1,972-acre lake is about six miles long and relatively shallow — averaging less than 10-feet deep with a maximum of 23 feet at its deepest point. In spots, its bottom is littered with the remnants left from the long-gone lumber mills that once lined the shores. Otsego Lake is known by experienced anglers as a sturgeon fishery, having been initially stocked in 1982. It is also home to walleye, bass, muskie, crappies, bluegills and perch.

But today Moore is after northern pike and has been on the water for about an hour when she rummages through her wellstocked tackle box. After careful consideration, she pulls out a pink and blue fluorescent-colored Cotton Candy lure and snaps it onto her line. Moments later, a flick of her wrist launches the lure in an arcing cast.

It’s not long before she feels a steady tug on the line and, after a few exciting seconds, pulls up a roughly 30-inch pike, another victim of a custom-painted Gills ’n Thrills lure.

Moore, 19, not only relies on Gills ’n Thrills custom lures to score her catch but also is the founder and owner of the company producing the brightly colored bait.

“I’ve been fishing my entire life, ever since I was able to walk,” said the 2014 graduate of Mancelona High School. “I just love it.”

Based in Moore’s home in rural Antrim County, Gills ’n Thrills provides custompainted fishing lures to professional and amateur anglers across the nation. She launched the company last October and already has sent shipments to anglers in 10 different states.

“Right now I’m selling through my website — gillsnthrills.com — but I have five different retailers who are interested in carrying my lures,” said the young entrepreneur.

Moore offers 10 different lure body types, including poppers, divers, spoons and blades. Once the body type is selected, Moore removes the hooks and split ring, then air brushes each lure in a white base paint. Then, starting at the belly, she carefully air brushes paint up from the bottom of the lure, working on the pattern and any other special effects.

“Whether you’re looking for a specific color combination to be replicated or if you want to choose from our pre-painted color combinations, we have every lure to suit your needs,” said Moore. “We can do 30 different patterns, including honeycombs, stripes, glitter, fluorescent colors, glow-inthe-dark and more.”

After air brushing is complete, Moore adds a layer of epoxy and lets the lure dry for about four hours. Finally, she replaced the hooks and split ring, and the lure is ready to go. She has handcrafted 500 lures in the first six months in business. They range in price from $6 for a panfish lure to $14 for muskie and walleye.

“My biggest order so far was for 40 Rapala Husky Jerks that a guy needed for a tournament,” said Moore. “He emailed me on Monday with the order and had to have them on Thursday. I stayed up til 3am doing them. But he got them on time. I was exhausted, but he needed them for customers.

It paid off, because he’s a repeat customer and has already ordered more lures.”

When she’s not filling orders for customers, or fishing the lakes of Antrim County or Saginaw Bay with her father, Tim, Moore works as a cashier at Shanty Creek Resort.

And she’s taking business administration classes at Northwood University in Midland.

“I’ve always wanted to go into business for myself,” she said.

So does the young entrepreneur have advice for others who may want to launch their own business?

“Don’t let people hold you back,” she said. “If you’re passionate about something, run with it. Don’t be scared to take a risk.”

WHAT GILLS ’N THRILLS CUSTOMERS SAY: “Great work! Quick shipping!! I love my lures!! Can’t wait to fish them! She painted them exactly how I wanted them. Her work is unique, and her color patterns are phenomenal!” —Bryan S “As an avid walleye fisherman, it’s a must to have custom baits in your box.

When Cynthia Boal Janssens moved to Boyne City a couple of years ago, she was stunned to find that the culture in her new adopted hometown was a lot more expansive than she’d anticipated. “I found out that for a small town of less than 4,000 people, we have so, so many great restaurants and food purveyors!” Janssens said. “The idea that all of this is in this little corner of northern Michigan just astonished me.”

But while most people might just sit back and enjoy the amenities, Janssens, a former food writer for the Detroit News, took things a step further, spearheading the new Boyne Appétit! initiative to help promote the food and establishments she so quickly fell in love with.

LAUNCH TIME Janssens is now the event coordinator for Boyne Appétit!, a cooperative effort of the Boyne Area Chamber of Commerce and Boyne City Main Street (a volunteer organization committed to historic preservation and economic development in Boyne City).

Janssens joined the initiative last October. “A study was done of Boyne City and how it could be further developed a few years back, and one of the main suggestions was to promote dining,” Janssens said. “The chamber had already registered the web address ‘boyneappetit.com,’ so we had a meeting, invited all of the restaurants, and got organized.”

NEW CHALLENGES Since then, Boyne Appétit! has been meeting monthly with Janssens and a steering committee to maintain and promote current programs within the initiative and develop new ones. “Our first program was Wine Wednesdays,” Janssens said. “On the first Wednesday of each month from 5–7pm, a group of our restaurants offer wine tastings and complimentary appetizers.” Three new brewpubs going in to Boyne City this year — 7 Monks Taproom, Stiggs Brewery, and the Charlevoix Brewing Company — mean that beer tastings are on the table for potential event coordination as well. But for right now, Janssens and crew are taking on a new challenge.“We’re in the middle of organizing and promoting our first Boyne Appétit! Restaurant Week,” Janssens said.

COOL KICKOFF This kickoff for the summer season starts June 6, with nearly two dozen restaurants, delis, sandwich shops, food shops, and pubs participating. “Each will either offer two-forone prix fixe meals for under $35, or special packages to purchase,” Janssens said. Accompanying this program just in time for summer will be a new Boyne Appétit! dining and

food guide, in which the team will expand their coverage area to include Boyne Falls, Horton Bay, and Advance. The plan is to have everything work together cohesively to promote the entire Boyne Appétit! initiative.

“Having this in place and actively promoting all of it will hopefully attract even more restaurants,” Janssens said. “That’s what helps bring visitors here and makes Boyne City an attractive place to live for our locals. I can see so much potential in the food scene for this little community.”

By Al Parker Traverse City native Nancy Adams Nash knew early in life that her destiny was in art.

“I remember on my first day of kindergarten, we were let out for recess,” she said. “I saw an easel in our classroom, and I knew that I wanted to paint at that easel instead of going out for recess.

In the second grade I wrote a paper that said I wanted to be an artist and to teach art. But it wasn’t until junior high that my seventh-grade teacher, Jan Montgomery, called my parents and told them, ‘There’s something special about Nancy.’ She was very encouraging.”

After high school, Nash left TC and lived across the country, making stops in Coos Bay, Ore.; Washington, D.C.; Greenwich, Conn.; upstate New York; then Suttons Bay and Charlevoix before settling into a place on Old Mission Peninsula “I don’t travel — I move,” she said with a laugh.

During all these wanderings, Nash held down a variety of jobs and doggedly continued to paint.

For the past five years or so, she’s been painting with acrylics. An art restorer once told her that canvas rots, so she transitioned to working on wooden panels. The vast majority of her recent paintings reflect her intelligent sense of humor, often combining surrealism and whimsy.

At first, working in acrylics was a bit of a challenge for Nash. “It dries quickly and shades differently,” she explained. “But it didn’t take too long to figure out. My works are not offensive, not controversial. They’re almost automatic paintings. I start with a basic underlying color, often black, but sometimes gold or blue. Then I scribe through it with primitive tools. I only have a certain amount of time, and I never know what’s going to come out of them. They are deliberately crude, not a lot of refinement.”

After some prodding, Nash admits that her paintings have generated a following among collectors. One avid fan in Washington, D.C., has a dozen of her works.

HOW I GOT STARTED I was born at Munson Medical Center in Traverse City and went to TC schools, graduating from [Traverse City Central High School]. Drawing, painting, making ceramic things — I was pretty convinced this was my path. My mom was supportive, but my dad, a former marine, pretty much thought it was a harebrained scheme. Like most kids, I loved making pictures … unlike most people, I never grew out of this phase, and it remains my most challenging adventure.

THE STORY BEHIND MY ART, MY INSPIRATION Encouraged early on in school by my teachers, I earned a scholarship and eventually went to Michigan State University art school. I have been working in the visual arts ever since. I tend to work in my studio, with my three Siamese cats watching, from late mornings until about 6pm, five days a week.

I work almost every weekend, and I like to listen to Chopin while I work.

WORK I’M MOST PROUD OF I’ve done oils and watercolors, but now I work primarily with acrylics on wood

panels, and the paintings usually have a narrative, even symbolic, nature. Sometimes the images are somewhat difficult to interpret, but I attempt to clarify it a bit with their titles.

YOU WON’T BELIEVE I’ve been a day trader. I am pretty risk tolerant. There were some days that I would make or lose $50,000 in a day. Unfortunately, the music stopped at the wrong time. I’m not doing that any more. Now I commit all my resources to painting, making pictures.

MY FAVORITE ARTIST I have learned from thousands of artists, both past and present, but I think Man Ray, a surrealist, is my favorite. He was a significant contributor to the Dada and Surrealist movements and produced works in a variety of media but considered himself a painter above all. I'm also a big fan of the ancient Egyptians.

ADVICE FOR ASPIRING YOUNG ARTISTS My advice to aspiring artists of any age is to embrace any technology to produce their vi-

sion. I use simple old-school mediums, but if manipulating an image or an object with complex computer software works for you, why not?

MY WORK CAN BE SEEN/PURCHASED My work can be seen at the Michigan Artists Gallery in Traverse City the Sleeping Bear Gallery in Empire or at my website: nashartstudio.com.

Simply Sweet by Jessica

By Kristi Kates Jessica Stubbs’ love for baking started close to home in 2012. Baking casually for family members and friends at church was something that Stubbs found immediately rewarding, so when some local nonprofit organizations and country clubs asked if she baked for special events, the answer was a swift yes. “Once they got wind of my talents in the kitchen, the start of my business was born!” Stubbs said.

CROWDED CAKES Four years after launching her small homebased enterprise, demand had outgrown Stubbs’ kitchen, which often overflowed with cake pans, batter bowls, and, of course, trays of the delicious finished products.

“Between the influx of summer and winter residents, and my very loyal local friends and customers, it was too much,” Stubbs said. She decided it was time to expand and relocate to downtown Petoskey. “I wanted to continue to ride the momentum for my products,” she said. Those products included Stubbs’ elegant fondant-covered wedding cakes and her extravagant dessert bars — long tables covered in a wide range of sweet treats — all of which will be available from her new location.

WELCOMING WHITE In keeping with the wow factor of her offerings, the bakery-cafe itself looks a little like a wedding cake. Frosting-like mortar

overflows from white bricks on an all-white façade; a flowery script sign above the front door welcomes customers. Inside, a 20-foot-long church pew rescued from an 1890s Upper Peninsula church shares space with tile floors and bistro tables made from reclaimed barn wood. A bakery case filled with pale baked goods is topped with flowers from Monarch Floral (Simply Sweet’s neighbor across the street), and classic white wooden chairs welcome just over a dozen guests at a time — just enough to make the place feel busy but not overcrowded. “The largest challenge will probably be time management,” Stubbs said, but if we’re super busy, that’s a great problem to have!”

CUPCAKES TO COFFEE Many different desserts will be available at Simply Sweet every day. “Most of our desserts will be portioned in a mini size, so that you can order multiple items to try, and it will still be affordable and not overwhelming for the palate — or the waistline,” Stubbs said.

The mini-cupcakes are her most popular item so far, in keeping with America’s current cupcake trend; right behind are mini cannolis and macarons.

Beverages include fountain pop, lemonade, iced teas, and root beer floats made with vanilla bean ice cream made on-site. The bakery-cafe also will feature coffee selections

Gourmet bakery treats and conscious coffee for your sweet tooth

from Redeeming Grounds in Washington, D.C., which Stubbs specifically selected as her coffee provider based on its community restoration work; the coffee seller partners with farmers in conflict zones to help transform coca (cocaine) fields into coffee farms. “They’re changing lives in Colombia by converting communities from a life of poverty and drugs to coffee farming and success,” she said.

Simply Sweet by Jessica is located at 324 E. Mitchell St. in downtown Petoskey, (231)420-3785. Find them online at facebook. com/simplysweetbyjessicapetoskey

The latest from the French electronic band (their first in five years) finds them in something of a rebellious mood, as they twist their sound backward into a big potpourri of rougher cuts that are approached as offhandedly as the album’s title.

“Do It, Try It” opens the set with a manic fusion of funk, synth and opera, while “Walkaway” takes a blues foundation and chucks more synths atop; Beck stops by late in the set to add vocals to the peculiar “Time Wind.”

Kygo – Cloud Nine – KYGO

Similar to the accomplishments of the soon-to-be-retired Avicii, Kygo infuses his radio-friendly pop tracks with EDM components to appeal to a wider range of listeners — even those who may not be as familiar with electronic or house music.

It’s that cohesiveness that makes this album immediately appealing, as is Kygo’s deft usage of guest musicians like singer James Vincent McMorrow on “I’m in Love,” and “Raging,” featuring Kodaline.

If you’re a fan of pop and a fan of electronica, this one’s a must-buy.

Kaskade – Automatic – Warner Bros.

Kaskade’s ninth album is a genre-crossing effort similar to Kygo’s; he’s another DJ/producer with expertise in mixing diverse genres together. On “Never Sleep Alone,” he takes a progressive house anthem and adds in an insistent breakdown.

“Phoenix” brings in synths and pianos to replicate more of a wall-of-sound approach, and “Us” utilizes pitch-shifting and beat-matching to add in more of a pop feel. Some of this is pretty experimental compared to Kaskade’s past tracks, but it works.

Markus Schultz – Watch the World – Black Hole

“Code 10-66” opens Schultz’s album with the audio ambiance of a light spy film, perfectly setting up the remainder of this mildly dramatic effort that serves as Schultz’s first full-length artist-collaborative offering after years of successful DJ work.

The rest of the set showcases his skills with trance-pop hybrids, from the storytelling of “Love Me … ” with Ethan Thompson, to the highlight “Let It Rain.” Five acoustic versions of the songs showcase another side of Schultz’s ear entirely, stripping the songs to their roots

nice With a title mocking the Justin Bieber doc Never Say Never, the latest film from musical comedy trio The Lonely Island (of “Lazy Sunday” and “Dick in a Box” fame) would seem to be a natural — nay, a little too obvious and easy of a target for their brand of musical parody. But the rockumentary Pop Star: Never Stop Never Stopping is so much more than the one-note Bieber satire the title suggests. It deftly takes aim at the entire music industry, as well as modern celebrity, stardom, and media — but never takes itself too seriously in the process.

demand a second listening to catch all the jokes.

To a casual listener they may not even register as parody. But that, my friends, is their genius.

This is a silly, outrageous, goofy, absurd and also sweet and warmhearted comedic gem that, to enjoy, doesn’t require a lot of knowledge of what is being so gleefully skewered. You don’t need to know about U2’s unfortunate Songs of Innocence release or even Bieber’s infamous Anne Frank comments to know this film is funny.

As exciting as this collection of stars is, it’s more impressive still that these cameos never feel gratuitous or lazy. I mean, would you call Martin Sheen, dressed as The West Wing’s Jed Bartlet and yelling “Attica!” after kicking Conner’s ass, anything less than amazing?

Told in mockumentary format — think This is Spinal Tap — Pop Star chronicles the rise and precipitous fall of hip-hop impresario Conner Friel (co-writer Andy Samberg), aka Conner4Real, from his days with the boy band of his youth, the Style Boyz, to his break-out solo career.

After taking a look back at the early days of the musical prodigy, the formative role of his childhood friends and bandmates Kid Contact (co-director Jorma Taccone) and Kid Brain (codirector and co-writer Akiva Schaffer), and the reasons for the group’s demise, we come into the present, with Conner about to release his sophomore album, Connquest.

And as Conner sings the first single off the album — a song that supports gay marriage (a year late) and reminds listeners, in every other line, that Conner is “not gay” — it’s easy to foresee the disasters that will come Conner’s way. It’s a completely predictable arc for anyone who has seen a Behind the Music, but the film actually benefits from your familiarity; it’s the crazy twists on the ways his career tanks that makes Pop Star so much fun.

But what about that music? The beats are fresh, they lyrics lit, and rhymes so on point they

60 • june 13, 2016 • Northern Express Weekly

So even though the film ridicules pop culture, it never feels mean-spirited. The industry is clearly in on the joke — as evidenced by the string of killer A-list cameos from the likes of Mariah Carey, Adam Levine, Usher, Snoop Dog, QuestLove, Ringo Starr, Michael Bolton, and Justin Timberlake (of course, Justin Timberlake!).

Every supporting player, from the co-stars to the bit parts, is impeccably cast. You’ve got Tim Meadows as Conner’s manager; Joan Cusack as Conner’s mom; Sarah Silverman as his publicisit; and Will Arnett, Eric Andre, Mike Birbiglia, and Chelsea Peretti doing their best theater of the grotesque in the form of one heck of an incredible TMZ sendup.

For as much of a narcissistic, egotistical, selfabsorbed nightmare Conner is (he comes complete with a “perspective manipulator,” a short guy to make him look tall), he somehow manages to remain good-natured and likable.

Maybe it’s that he has a pet turtle named Maximus; maybe its that Andy Samberg is seriously talented. Whatever the case may be, Conner4Real is undeniably charming and sells the third act’s change of heart.

Because, ultimately, the takeaway is not about what hideous creatures our celebrity-obsessed culture has birthed, but the bonds of friendship — powerfully on display in both the film and The Lonely Island’s own meta relationship to the story. Friends since middle school, Samberg, Taccone, and Schaffer have a genuine chemistry that creates some genuinely funny moments.

This is En Sabah Nur (Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Oscar Isaac), or the titular Apocalypse, and he is convinced this new world needs cleansing; that the most powerful of the mutants shall inherit the earth. So Apocalypse sets about assembling his partners in crime (four of them, naturally, including Michael Fassbender’s Magneto). Professor Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) assembles his school of mutants to stop them.

We’re nine films in now, and each X-Men movie seems to boil down the same essential conflict. In this case, Professor X is trying to convince Magneto that he doesn’t need to be evil. It’s one of the many recurring, and overly weighted, themes that this installment can’t seem to get out from under. Following up the series high, Days of Future Past, is no easy feat. And director Bryan Singer is more in the mode of his original X-Men films than the freshness Matthew Vaughn help imbue the franchise with in X-Men: First Class. By trying to meld the series’ origins with this new rebooted path, the results are mixed. But with epic action, a cavalcade of stars, and some soul-searching performances, there are certainly worse ways to spend a few hours in air conditioning.

or all its dazzling sheen, excellent performances, and entertaining joie de vivre, it’s with some disappointment that I pronounce The Nice Guys, a buddy cop/caper mystery set in 1977 Los Angeles, written and directed by noted action guru Shane Black (Iron Man 3, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), a dull affair. Black’s disco-era L.A. is scrubbed clean and shiny; there’s no grime, grease, grit or even rubbish in the streets. It’s a shame too. Black is a very talented filmmaker, one of those directors who, if he had the patience for detail and made the time and setting as important as the story and his wonderful characters, could knock it out of the park. It’s popcorn noir, a lighthearted take on L.A. Confidential or Chinatown, yet it’s all so unchallenging and captured with such mugging moments that its loving sendup borders on bothersome. The central story, or case, of The Nice Guys is a sinister one, and one with potential to be an extremely funny, clever, madcap, insane, and compelling conspiracy film. Too bad he doesn’t see this story through. Instead, the plot focuses on the relationship between incompetent private investigator Holland March (Ryan Gosling) and do-gooder hired enforcer Jackson Healy (Russell Crowe) as they track down a girl (The Leftovers’ Margaret Qualley). Beginning as enemies, transitioning into friendly adversaries, and ending as begrudging partners, March and Healy are a fairly exquisite duo, and it’s easy to see why the film, as well as the audience, will get caught up in their relationship.

NEW OWNERSHIP money monster

M

oney Monster, a Network-esque, thrillerish fable from director Jodie Foster is something else. It’s either an entirely unremarkable and firmly middle-of-the-road movie — or one of the best, most biting pieces of satire I’ve seen in recent years. I honestly can’t tell. It’s both to the credit and detriment of the film that the line between these two distinctions is blurred. Has Foster crafted something so sharp that you aren’t sure if you actually saw it? Or is the effect so dulling that it’s all in your head (even if it isn’t?).

George Clooney plays Lee Gates, the smarmy showman host of “Money Monster,” a thinly veiled parody of CNBC’s Mad Money. “We don’t do journalism,” says his girl Friday producer Patty Finn (Julia Roberts in full Erin Brockovich mode) as she and her staff do a pre-show Walk and Talk.

Enter working stiff everyman Kyle Budwell (Unbroken’s Jack O’Connell), who lost his life savings thanks to Gates’ advice.

At the end of his rope, Kyle sneaks into the studio, taking Gates hostage, live on air. And that’s when things get tricky.

Money Monster takes some seriously strange, surprising, and shocking turns. And it may be much deeper than it looks on the surface. You will walk away either instantly forgetting what you just saw, or convinced you just watched a subversive indictment of American capitalism. But it’s kept me thinking, which ultimately means it succeeded — and also, perhaps, is worth your money.

Q

: I’m a single woman in my 40s. It’s been

ages since I’ve seriously dated anyone.

People tell me that I seem “closed off.” I don’t want to be, but I worry that I’ll get into another relationship that ends badly. I don’t want to die alone, but I just don’t think I can survive another heartbreak.

— Terrified

A

: My dad loves quoting that FDR line, “The only thing you have to fear is fear itself.”

Sorry, Pops, but that’s ridiculous. There are hings to fear in life. A couple of examples that spring to mind: 1. A hug from the lady at work who just got back from vacationing in Ebola territory. 2. Being in immediate need of lifesaving surgery and waking up to your drunken neighbor operating on you with salad utensils and a steak knife.

However, it turns out that there’s a next part to that “fear itself ” line — explaining that the problematic kind of fear is “nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.” Perhaps that sounds familiar? And granted, when love packs its bags, leaving you with just a few empty hangers swinging in your closet where your man’s shirts used to be, it’s normal to come undone for a while — perhaps spending some time lying on the bathroom floor in an evening dress and breakfasting on Froot Loops a la vodka.

However, what’s also normal is recovering from heartbreak. Grief researcher George Bonanno explains that while therapists and self-help books portray grief after a loss as a paralyzing sadness that people are unable to survive without professional help, this isn’t how he finds it affects most of us. In fact, he says we are wired to be resilient — to pull ourselves out of our misery hole and get on with things.

What helps in this, Bonanno explains, is “hardiness.” Research by clinical psychologist Salvatore Maddi finds that hardiness involves three interrelated attitudes: a desire to engage with people and life (rather than detach and isolate yourself), a belief in taking action to make things better (rather than sinking into “passivity and powerlessness”), and a willingness to face stressful stuff and use it as a learning experience — transforming personal disasters into personal growth.

Even if the behaviors that make up hardiness don’t come naturally to you, they’re there for

adviceamy@aol.com advicegoddess.com

the taking. So, yes, heartbreak will be painful, but hardiness is a shovel you can use to dig yourself out. What you don’t get to do is make the bratty demand, “I want love without hurt or disappointment!” You can fill up your life so it won’t be so empty if somebody leaves you and get comfy with the hard truth: Having love is no guarantee that you won’t “die alone” — choking on a chicken bone just as your beloved’s gone out the door all, “Wow, double coupon day at the Quik Sak! Be right back, loverbunny!”

Q

: There are two women who arouse mega-chemistry in me when we hug, talk, etc. Unfortunately, neither is available. Though I’m basically attracted to the woman I’m dating (meaning she’s the right height, weight, hair color, etc.), I don’t feel those highs with her. So, my question is, can I make a go of this relationship even though I lack the tingly zest I have with the taken ladies?

— Missing The Whole Enchilada

A

: Can you “make a go” of this relationship?

Of course you can! Before you know it, you’ll be booking one of those romantic weekend getaway packages to try to rekindle that magical indifference you felt at the start.

Unfortunately, you can’t work up to lusting after a woman, like by making your libido do pushups over her picture. We seem to have evolved to be subconsciously drawn to the smell of certain people — those who have immune system genes different from ours, with whom we’d make a baby with a broader set of defenses against icky parasites and disease. Men, in particular, evolved to be hot for features that reflect high fertility, like a small waist, big eyes, and big pillowy lips. The right smell and physical features flick the “on” switch in what affective neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp calls your “seeking system,” sending you signals (in the form of “tingly zest”) — much like a sign spinner holding up a big arrow, “Your penis here!”

No, obviously, you can’t have it all, but you have to have enough of it all — enough of the hots for a woman, along with the hots for who she is as a human being. This isn’t to say there won’t be issues in bed, but you’re more likely to solve them if the licensed professional best suited to help you is not the corner taxidermist.

JUNE 13 - JUNE 19

BY ROB BREZSNY

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): My long-term predictions for the next 15 months are a blend of hopeful optimism and a reasonable interpretation of the astrological omens. Here we go: 1. You will have an excellent chance to smooth and soothe the rough spots in your romantic karma. 2. You will outgrow any addiction you might have to frustrating connections. 3. Unrequited love will either be requited, or else you’ll become bored with the futile chase and move on. 4. You’ll be challenged to either refresh and reinvent an existing intimacy, or else get shrewd enough not to repeat past mistakes in a new intimacy. 5.

You will have an abundance of good ideas about how to install the theme of smart fun at the heart of your strongest alliances.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The coming months

will be a favorable time to boost your skills as a cagey warrior. I don’t mean you should push people around and get into lots of fights. Rather, the goal is for you to harness your aggressiveness constructively and to wield your willpower with maximum grace. In the face of fear, you will not just be brave, but brave and crafty. You’ll refrain from forcing storylines to unfold before they’re ready, and you’ll rely on strategy and good timing instead of brute strength and the decree “Because I said so.” Now study this counsel from the ancient Chinese statesman Zhuge Liang, also known as Crouching Dragon: “The wise win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Everything you

do in the coming days should be imbued with the intention of enhancing the Flow. It’s high time to identify where the energy is stuck, and then get it unstuck. You have a sacred mandate to relieve the congestion . . . to relax the tweaks . . . to unravel the snarls if you can, or simply cut through them if necessary. You don’t need to tell anyone about your secret agenda. Just go about your business with zealous diligence and unflagging purpose. If it takes more effort than you wished, so be it. If your progress seems maddeningly gradual, keep the faith.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Author Courttia

Newland quotes the pre-Socratic philosopher Meno: “How will you go about finding the thing the nature of which is totally unknown to you?”

In response to this riddle, Newland riffs on what it means to him: “Even more important than the journey itself, is the venture into the unknowable. The ability to find comfort moving forwards without quite knowing where you are going.”

I nominate these to be your words to live by in the coming days, Cancerian. Have open-hearted fun as you go in search of mysterious and impossible secrets! I’m confident you will track them down -- especially if you’re willing to be lost.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): ): Your homework is to

write a story about the life you’re going to live between now and next April. The length of this predictive tale should be at least three pages, although it’s fine if you produce more. Here are some meditations to lubricate the flow of your imagination.

1. What three questions would you love to have answered during the next 42 weeks? 2. Of the numerous adventures that might be fun to explore, which are the two that would be most consistently energizing? 3. What is the one thing you’d most like to change about your attitude or revamp about your life? 4.

What new privilege will you have earned by April 2017?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): ): According to an

old Chinese proverb, if you want to get rich, you must have a nickname. My meditations on your future suggest that this curious formula may have some validity. The next 15 months will be a favorable time to attend to the groundwork that will ultimately increase your wealth. And your luck in doing this work is likely to be oddly good if you add a frisky tweak to your identity -- such as a zesty new nickname, for example. I suggest you stay away from clichés like Ace or Vixen or Sharpie, as well as off-putting ironic monikers like Poker Face and Stonewall. Instead, gravitate toward lively choices like Dazzler, FluxLuster, Hoochie-Coochie, or FreeBorn.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): During the next

15 months, you will have an unprecedented chance to materialize a fantasy you’ve harbored for years. Essential to your efforts will be a capacity to summon more ambition than you ever have before. I’m not talking about the grubby self-promotion

that typically passes for ambition, however. Arrogant selfimportance and selfish posturing will not be part of your winning formula. Rather, the kind of ambition I’m referring to is a soaring aspiration that seeks the best and highest not just for yourself but for everyone whose life you touch. I mean the holy hunger that drives you to express impeccable integrity as you seek to master the tasks you came to Earth to accomplish. Get started!

ScORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): ): During the

next 15 months, composting should be a primary practice, as well as a main metaphor. If you have been lazy about saving leftover scraps from your kitchen and turning them into fertilizer, now is an excellent time to intensify your efforts. The same is true if you have been lax about transforming your pain into useful lessons that invigorate your lust for life. Be ever-alert for opportunities to capitalize on junk, muck, and slop. Find secret joy in creating unexpected treasure out of old failures and wrong turns.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Have

you ever made a fool of yourself while trying to fulfill your deepest yearnings? I hope so.

If you haven’t, your yearnings probably aren’t deep enough. Most of us, on multiple occasions, have pursued our longings for connection with such unruly intensity that we have made foggy decisions and engaged in questionable behavior. That’s the weird news. The good news is that now and then, the impulse to leave our safety zone in a quest to quench our deepest yearnings can actually make us smarter and more effective. I believe this is one of those times for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): During the next 13 months, what can you do to enhance your ability to be the boss of yourself? What practices can you engage in on a daily basis that will build your potency and authority and clout? How can you gain access to more of the helpers and resources you need to carry out your life’s master plan? These are excellent questions to ask yourself every day between now and July 2017. It’s time to find or create your ultimate power spot.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) The prison

population in the U.S. is over two million, more than twice what it was in 1990. In contrast, Canada keeps about 41,000 people in jail, Italy 52,000, and France 66,000. That’s the bad news. The good news, at least for you and your tribe, is that a relatively small percentage of you will be incarcerated during the next 15 months. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, Aquarians all over the world will specialize in liberation. Not only will you be extra ethical; not only will you be skillful at evading traps; you will also be adept at emancipating yourself from your own delusions and limitations. Congratulations in advance! It’s time to start singing some new freedom songs.

PIScES (Feb. 19-March 20): The English

word “catharsis” is derived from the ancient Greek katharsis, which was a technical medical term that meant “purgation” or “purification,” as in flushing out the bowels. Aristotle converted katharsis into a metaphor that described how a drama performed in the theater could “clean out” the emotions of spectators.

These days, catharsis may refer to any event that precipitates a psycho-spiritual renewal by building up and then releasing tension. I foresee at least one of these strenuous blessings in your immediate future.
