housing” issue. It is the downtown business concerns that would benefit. Like Gary says, there are “plenty of detached single family units” available. So it seems the side of “affordable” that needs to be addressed has more to do with being paid a living wage!

Low wages supplemented by tax-funded assistance is the Walmart model! Our commission certainly didn’t embrace the emergence of Costco in TC. Businesses will have to compete with an employer outside the “club.”

Applaud The Blue Angels

I read in last week’s Express a letter by Tim Keenan. I have read several letters as of late, in fact, many in regards to the Blue Angels airshow and other demonstration teams like the Thunderbirds. I am appalled by peoples’ lack of respect for these teams and what they do. They put themselves on the line every day, performing for entertainment all over the country. They do it because they believe in America and everything she is supposed to stand for.

It seems to me people like Mr. Keenan have forgotten what it means to be a proud American. To be able to listen to the Blue Angels or the Thunderbirds is a huge honor

Thank you, Blue Angels, for another awesome show!

A Voice That Is Here

I found the guest opinion in the 6/27 issue

by Commissioner Gary Howe patronizing and condescending. It is in keeping with the pro-business bias/agenda and dismissive attitude toward the residential community that has been so apparent with this commission. He tells us it’s critical not to disenfranchise those prospective employees “not yet here.” He claims “many currently travel long distances to fill our needed jobs.

That is money and time not spent on family, health, education, or the future.” I want names! Pretty weak point, but it did make me laugh. He envisions a wealth-generating community. Problem is that wealth is concentrated in very few hands and in one form or another it’s the residential community that foots the bill.

I recall when the city decided to allow restaurant tables and chairs on public sidewalks. Sweet deal to expand business without more property tax. Profits increased as did trash on the street. One restaurant owner complained she shouldn’t have to pay for added trash service because she already pays property tax and it would cut into her profit margin! So who pays?

Let’s be clear about this “workforce affordable

I am sure this proposition will meet with great support from a wide variety of stakeholders including affordable housing advocates, Safe Harbor sponsors, elected officials and ordinary, fair-minded people.

They come here and give us a great performance every time, and this year was no exception, despite still being in grief over the loss of a fellow pilot and friend. The time they give to shows all over is time away from their families and friends. They are true patriots and should always be treated as such.

In the June 23 referendum known as “Brexit” — shorthand for Britain’s exit from the European Union — a clear majority of voters across the United Kingdom (Great Britain, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales) chose to leave the EU. Only in London, Scotland and Northern Ireland did the “stay” camp prevail.

Since then, several of the remaining EU member states, led by France, have pressured the U.K. to file its “divorce” papers quickly.

That act would trigger a two-year renegotiation of trade and immigration rules between the EU and what’s left of the U.K. If negotiations cannot be completed in two years, and barring an unlikely extension, trade barriers and tariffs would kick in automatically.

Wisely, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has called for patience and courtesy toward the EU’s wayward British friends. While she has emphasized that Britain will not be able to cherry-pick what parts of EU membership it wants to retain, she cautioned against precipitous action that might further upset EU markets and economies.

The key issue that swayed U.K. voters to want to leave the EU was free movement of labor and immigrants into the U.K. from other EU states.

Between 2007 and 2016, the Polish population in Britain jumped from 80,000 to 850,000; many are Poles who are willing to work for lower wages than their British counterparts. Yet Merkel made it clear that Britain must accept free movement within the EU if it hopes to retain favorable trade arrangements with the EU. What happens next is pretty murky.

Londoners, who by a 60-40 vote opposed leaving the EU, won’t have a choice. They’re stuck with the decision to leave and will now discover what that decision really means.

Already, several London-based banks and financial institutions are planning to relocate to an EU member state.

But the voters in Scotland and Northern Ireland may have more options. Northern Ireland’s leaders are exploring whether to merge with the Republic of Ireland, an EU member. The unification of the two Ireland’s could well become one of the unintended consequences of the Brexit referendum.

Of even greater importance to European security is what Scotland might decide. Scottish voters two years ago voted in a referendum to remain in the U.K. (and therefore, in the EU).

Scotland’s chief minister has said she will explore withdrawing from the U.K. in hopes of keeping an independent Scotland in the EU. Were this to happen, the NATO Alliance and the British Navy would face a crisis. Most of NATO’s strategic deterrent — the U.S. and U.K.’s nuclear submarines armed with intercontinental range missiles and their “hunter-killer” subs — operate from the U.K.’s Holy Loch bases. With Russian warships and aircraft operating more actively in the Baltic Sea and off the coast of NATO-member Iceland, the bases in Scotland play a key role in deterring Russian adventurism in and above the Atlantic.

Inadvertently, the Brexit vote has thus exposed a broader strategic reality facing today’s NATO, one that presidential candidate Donald Trump

also has raised. Trump alleges that NATO is still fighting the Cold War and has failed to adapt to 21st century security challenges. But so long as Vladimir Putin seems determined to recreate the Cold War with his intervention in Ukraine and his continued troublemaking in the Baltic region, what is NATO to do? Trump’s criticism and the recent Russian challenges to NATO together underscore that NATO must indeed address both old and new challenges.

This is not news to NATO. For the last few years, NATO and the EU have collaborated on finding a means to tackle emerging threats like cyber-crime, maritime security, piracy, human trafficking and terrorism. It’s no simple task. Many elements of these new threats are purely police matters — outside NATO’s lane.

But some aspects of this new threat matrix are transnational and might involve the use of military force — NATO’s wheelhouse. Legal, privacy and security issues all come into play in formulating responses.

Just as the U.S. has struggled with coordinating the Department of Homeland Security, the National Security Agency, drone strikes and the employment of U.S. Special Operations troops, so NATO, the EU and the transnational police agency, Interpol, encounter the same challenge. These institutions have been working to achieve some level of coordinated response to these complex security problems, but the EU does not move quickly.

Where the EU’s founding principle had been to promote greater trade and to generate wealth, instead, citizens of many EU member states today see the EU as an ineffective bureaucracy.

The stalled European economy, economic chaos in Greece and a chaotic EU response to the flood of refugees from the Middle East, Afghanistan and North Africa all point to an institution that is unable to deliver on its promises, especially regarding security.

Populist, nationalist, and often rightwing politicians have seized on the EU’s perceived ineffectiveness and are suggesting withdrawing from the EU, as the U.K. has done. Six decades of work to create a union of European states that would be unable ever again to go to war could be destroyed by short-sighted easy answers that ignore the importance of cooperation, cohesion, ease of travel and communication, and free movement of goods, services and, yes, labor.

So far, aside from Donald Trump’s occasional threats, there are no calls for any nation to leave NATO. But the current crises in Europe and the simplistic proposals bouncing around to solve Europe’s woes could easily lead voters in several countries to want to opt for “solutions” that ultimately create more problems than they solve.

NATO leaders thus have their hands full during their July 8–9 Summit in Warsaw. Regardless of what happens within the EU, it is critical to global stability that dismantling NATO not be one of the unintended consequences of Brexit.

Jack Segal was a senior NATO diplomat from 2000 to 2010. He and his wife, Karen, co-chair Traverse City’s chapter of the World Affairs Councils of America, the International Affairs Forum (tciaf.com).

Resort Owner Revolts Against Tourism Campaign

An Indian River resort owner says his constitutional rights are violated because he is forced to pay a five percent room tax to subsidize his local tourism bureau.

The Mackinac Center Legal Foundation filed a lawsuit on behalf of George Galbraith, owner of the Landings, against the Indian River Area Tourist Bureau and a state office that enables the bureau to levy a tax.

The bureau uses the money to promote tourism in the region, primarily through a website, a measure which Galbraith contends violates his freedom of speech because he believes he should not be compelled to pay for speech he disagrees with.

The lawsuit does not challenge the state’s Pure Michigan campaign, which is funded through an appropriation of the legislature.

“No one should tell individuals how to run their businesses or their advertising,” Galbraith said.

tastemakers Northern Crepes An unexpected find north of Harbor Springs is a quaint little stop awaiting those who fancy a little French summer cuisine.

Northern Crepes is located right next to the Good Hart and Soul Tea Room in Good Hart, and offers country views and a deck that’s a perfect sitting spot for you to enjoy your breakfast or lunch crepe with a pot of tea or lemonade after a drive down M-119’s “Tunnel of Trees.”

Many of the original crepe recipes were developed by longtime chef Matt Bauer, and include both sweet and savory choices, including crepes filled with fresh local fruit and dusted with powdered sugar, and more hearty varieties of crepes stuffed with asparagus or other in-season vegetables.

Everything is served right out of Northern Crepes’ cheerful pop-up food cart (nicknamed “Genevieve”), with its friendly red, yellow, and white color scheme; the whole thing, from food to setting, is so picturesque and appealing that PBS even sent Tom Daldin’s Under the Radar series to film here a few summers ago.

Northern Crepes is located at 1129 N. Lake Shore Drive, Harbor Springs (231)526-0276. Open in July and August 7 days a week, 9:30am-4:30pm daily; hours change in the fall. More information at primitiveimages.com, or find Northern Crepes on Facebook. - Kristi Kates

Bike Trail Now

A bicycle trail now stretches from Charlevoix to Alpena. The final link in the roundabout route was unveiled July 5 when the Michigan Department of Natural Resources announced the opening of the Carp Lake River Bridge in Emmet County.

That completes the 32-mile North Western State Trail project that links Petoskey to Mackinaw City on the bed of a former railroad. The trail hooks into a wider trail system that spans the top of the Lower Peninsula, reaching Cheboygan and Alpena to the southeast and to Charlevoix to the southwest.

“The Carp Lake River Bridge was the last major piece of the 188-mile trail network,” said Emily Meyerson, the DNR’s northern Lower Peninsula trails coordinator. “You can now ride a bike on a trail from Alpena to Charlevoix.”

A TALE OF TEN STORIES

spectator by stephen tuttle The battle over tall buildings in Traverse City has expanded from Front Street to Eighth Street. The idea hasn’t been any more popular there.

We arrived at this seeming obsession with the need for 10-story structures in two ways: First, a two-decade old master plan calls for buildings up to 95 feet in certain areas with a special use permit. Second, some have decided our concern over affordable housing can be solved by putting it in the most desirable locations in the city, with plenty of subsidies and tax deferrals and magic-money funds.

Unfortunately, there are those who would now characterize the debate as a kind of class war: haves vs. have-nots, pro-growth vs. anti-growth, young vs. old.

There isn’t any evidence it’s any of those things. No one is circulating petitions attempting to stop growth or progress. There

isn't any mystery about why. Old-fashioned market forces come into play. There is plenty of demand and not much supply.

That means affordable housing downtown will be significantly subsidized housing and there will be tax breaks and deferrals aplenty for the developer. It’s the only way to subvert the supply-and-demand realities. Some people call that essential economic development, and some call it outrageous corporate welfare.

It means we’ll be subsidizing housing so people can live in a location we cannot afford ourselves. That's a tough sell when you add in the 100-foot height.

Additionally, there is no way to require those living downtown to actually work downtown.

Theoretically, any new residential structure, no matter how many stories and no matter how affordable, could be occupied entirely by people who do not work downtown.

The irony here is that Traverse City is so small there isn’t any location within our 8.9 square miles that isn’t convenient to downtown. That someone has to live downtown instead of a mile or two away is foolishness. are plenty of older and younger people on both sides of the issue. Rich and poor alike also populate both sides of the issue.

What we have here is an anti-10-storybuilding-hard-against-the-sidewalk-ina- downtown-full-of-four-and-five-storybuildings movement. They’re on record supporting a 60-foot structure on the same spot so it’s hard to legitimately argue they’re anti-growth. One need only look around to see there is commercial and residential construction and growth in some abundance.

Traverse City is one of only three cities in the state realizing a real population growth. If there is an anti-growth movement, it is taking a terrible beating.

The irony here is that Traverse City is so small there isn’t any location within our 8.9 square miles that isn’t convenient to downtown. (The exception would be the little boundary peninsula that encircles the airport.) That someone has to live downtown instead of a mile or two away is foolishness.

There are other areas of the city that could use a redevelopment boost, including housing, not to mention areas immediately outside the city limits. Downtown need not be the only option. (Perhaps downtown merchants would like to subsidize a reliable park-and-ride system with BATA so workers don't have to live or park downtown.)

Eighth Street is full of two-story structures with mature residential neighborhoods just a block away. Master plan aside, residents aren't likely to welcome a 10-story building looming over their backyards.

Shorter buildings might not pencil out with quite as much profit margin, and they won't provide as many residential units. That's why it would make more sense to look elsewhere for affordable housing and let the market work downtown.

Master plans are not laws but useful and necessary guidelines. They can be revisited to reflect the population they intend to serve. It's foolishness to treat ours as if it was carved on stone tablets with divine bolts of lightning and brought down from Mount Urbanism by the ghost of Robert Moses. It can't be a sacrilege to revisit a 20-year-old document.

Yes, that would likely mean more high-end condos, some owned by people who won't live there year-round. It would also mean there’s no need for most of the financial breaks for the developer, including tax increment financing and payments in lieu of taxes. That could be a nice bump for the city's tax rolls.

The argument is that downtown is the best place for affordable housing because we can go taller, create more density, provide workforce housing and create a critical mass of something.

This isn’t a debate about depriving people of affordable housing or trying to close off opportunities for people who want to relocate here. Nobody is even suggesting any of that.

The debate is simply about size — 100 feet tall or 60 feet tall.

But downtown is home to some of the most expensive chunks of property in the city and certainly among the most desirable. There

Some people just don’t believe bigger is better, especially when it comes to buildings in Traverse City.

Crime & Rescue FIVE ARRESTED IN DRUG CASE Five people were arrested in a drug investigation that began in Elmwood Township.

Traverse Narcotics Team officers made an undercover heroin purchase at a Leelanau County home and they arrested the 51-year-old seller, police said in a press release. When they searched the man’s home police found several grams of heroin and $1,500 in cash.

Police arrested two others in the house -- a 54-year-old woman for an unrelated case and a 59-year-old man on drug charges.

The investigation led police to the Turtle Creek Casino, where a 55-year-old Detroit man was put under surveillance because they suspected him of selling heroin and cocaine. That suspect and a 35-year-old Detroit woman were arrested in a traffic stop after they left the casino and police found drugs and cash in their vehicle.

MAN STRUCK BY SEMI An 84-year-old Missaukee County man who was taking out his garbage was struck and killed by a semi after he walked into its path.

Joseph Smith was killed in front of his home on East Houghton Lake Road in West Branch Township at 4am June 30, Sheriff Jim Bosscher said.

Investigators believe Smith may have become disoriented and strayed into the road. The semi driver, a 31-year-old McBain man, immediately called 911 and other bystanders stopped to offer assistance, but to no avail. Smith was pronounced dead at the scene.

CHERRY FEST KICK-OFF BUSY National Cherry Festival crowds caused a busy weekend for Traverse City Police over the Fourth of July holiday.

Officers made 27 arrests between July 1 and July 4, though none were for extremely serious crimes, said Capt. Kevin Dunklow.

Dunklow said the arrests were for things like assaults, warrants, driving without a license and drunk driving. There were eight “minor in possession of alcohol” tickets issued during an enforcement action at the volleyball courts near the Open Space. Police answered hundreds of calls for misplaced cars, disorderly conduct and fights. Some highlights include: A 25-year-old Grand Rapids man was arrested after police heard a crash and discovered an Arnold’s Amusements pop machine had been tipped over and seriously damaged at just past midnight on Sunday.

A 22-year-old Berrian Springs man spilled a beer on a table in front of a Traverse City couple at 12:42am Sunday at Kilkenny’s Irish Pub. When the man demanded an explanation, the suspect sucker punched him in the face and fled. The man’s wife called police and chased down the suspect. The couple decided not to press charges.

Two males were witnessed climbing the Ferris wheel at 3:50am Monday. When officers arrived, the suspects jumped down and fled into the night.

FLEEING DRIVER BUSTED A man who led police on a chase from Fife Lake into Kalkaska County faces drunk driving, fleeing and eluding and possession of stolen property charges.

by patrick sullivan psullivan@northernexpress.com

Grand Traverse Sheriff’s deputies checked a vehicle’s license plate and discovered it was stolen and they tried to make a traffic stop July 1. When they tried to stop the car, its driver sped off.

When deputies stopped the car a mile later on Shippy Road, they discovered the 59-year-old Traverse City man was intoxicated and he was arrested.

COUPLE INJURED IN CRASH Two people suffered serious injuries when a minivan and a pickup crashed in an intersection.

The driver of the minivan failed to yield at the intersection of M-37 and W 16 Road near Mesick, Wexford County Sheriff’s deputies said.

The driver of the pickup was not injured, but the couple in the minivan, a 76-year-old Honor woman who was driving and her 80-year-old husband, were taken to Munson Medical Center where they were in serious but stable condition.

MAN WANDERED INTO TRAFFIC Police believe a pedestrian had been drinking before he wandered into traffic on M-72 in front of the Turtle Creek Casino.

A box truck driven by a 47-year-old Manton man struck the 26-year-old New York man who was wearing dark clothing on July 1 at 3am, Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s deputies said.

The pedestrian survived the crash and was conscious and alert when emergency personnel arrived. He was taken to Munson Medical Center.

MAN DISAPPEARS IN GLEN LAKE Rescuers searched for a man feared dead in Big Glen Lake.

Leelanau County Sheriff’s deputies were called July 5 at 3pm after an 81-year-old Warren man vanished while swimming.

The man and a friend, a 75-year-old Grand Rapids man, were swimming from an unanchored boat near Inspiration Point when the older man began to drift away, got into trouble, and could not get back to the boat.

The other man became distressed as he tried to save his friend and another boater arrived in time to pull the 75-year-old from the lake. By that time, the 81-year-old had disappeared underwater.

As the day wore on and as rescuers arrived from the Coast Guard, the National Park Service and from sheriff’s departments from Grand Traverse and Roscommon counties, the search turned into a recovery mission before it was called off for the day.

Firefighters were called to the Traverse Woods Apartments at 2:30pm July 4.

LOST FISHERMEN FOUND A cell phone signal helped save two fishermen lost in the wilds of Cheboygan County.

The father and son parked their vehicle in Wilmot Township at 7am July 5 and got lost about a mile into the woods, Sheriff Dale Clarmont said.

At 2pm they called 911 and reached a dispatcher who was able to determine their latitude and longitude.

Searchers set out and found the pair, a 54-yearold and 22-year-old from Gross Isle, who were exhausted and dehydrated but otherwise OK.

APARTMENTS DESTROYED Someone who set off fireworks from a second floor balcony apparently caused a fire that destroyed a Petoskey apartment complex.

No one was injured in the blaze, but numerous were left homeless.

The 16-unit building housed 28 people.

LOTS OF CRASHES OVER WEEKEND Leelanau County Sheriff’s deputies responded to 13 vehicle crashes over the Fourth of July weekend.

In one of them, a 54-year-old Gulfport, Miss. man rolled his 2009 Hyundai in Leland Township just before midnight on July 4. The man was not wearing his seat belt, was ejected from the car and suffered serious injuries. A 42-year-old female passenger w a s belted and also seriously injured.

Blessings, Guaranteed More and more churches ("hundreds," according to a June Christianity Today report) offer hesitant parishioners a "money-back guarantee" if they tithe 10 percent (or more) of their income for 90 days -- but then feel that God blesses them insufficiently in return. The South Carolina megachurch NewSpring instituted such a program in the 1990s and claims that, of 7,000 recent pledgers, "fewer than 20" expressed dissatisfaction with the Lord. Advocates cite the Bible's Book of Malachi, quoting God himself (according to Christianity Today): "Test me in this." "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse" and "see if I will not pour out so much blessing" that "there will not be room enough to store it."

New World Order A leading Chinese orthopedic surgeon continues to believe that "full-body" transplants are the next big thing in medicine, despite worldwide skepticism about both the science and the ethics. The plan for Dr. Ren Xiaoping of Harbin Medical University calls for removing both heads (the deceased donor's and the live recipient's), connecting the blood vessels, stabilizing the new neck, and "bath(ing)" spinalcord nerve endings chemically so they will connect. (Critics say it is impossible to "connect" spinal-cord nerves.) According to a June New York Times dispatch, doctors regularly denounce China's ethical laxities (though Chinese officials term such denunciations "envy" at China's achievements).

Suspicions Confirmed -- (1) In June, District Attorney Jerry Jones in Monroe, Louisiana, dropped drug and gun charges against college football players Cam Robinson and Hootie Jones (who play for University of Alabama but are from Monroe) --declaring that the "main reason" for his decision is that "I refuse to ruin the lives of two young men who have spent their adolescence and teenage years working and sweating, while we were all in the air conditioning." (2) A Philadelphia "casting" agency solicited "extras" to show up at polling stations on the April 26 Pennsylvania primary day for candidate Kevin Boyle, who was running against state Sen. John Sabatina -- offering $120 each (plus lunch and an open bar). Since most polling-site "electioneering" is illegal, the probable job was merely to give voters the impression that Boyle was very popular. (Sabatina narrowly won.)

-- In January, a Chicago Tribune investigation revealed only 124 of the roughly 12,000 Chicago cops were responsible for the misconduct complaints that resulted in settlements (since 2009)-- with one officer, for example, identified in seven. (A June Chicago Reporter study claimed the city paid out $263 million total on misconduct litigation during 2012-2015.)

Litigious Societies (1) Insurance agent John Wright filed a lawsuit in Will County, Illinois, in June over teenagers playing "ding dong ditch," in which kids ring a doorbell but run away before the resident answers. The lawsuit claims that bellringer Brennan Papp, 14, caused Wright "severe emotional distress, anxiety, and weight loss," resulting in at least $30,000 of lost income. (2) The ex-boyfriend of Nina Zgurskaya filed a lawsuit in Siberia after she broke up with him for his reluctance to "pop the question" after a twoyear courtship. The man, not named in a dispatch from Moscow, demanded compensation for his dating expenses. The trial court ruled against him, but he is appealing.

The Job of the Researcher A team of researchers is following about 30 tabbies, calicos, and others, recording their moves and sounds, to somehow learn whether housecats have dialects in their meows and alter other patterns of stress and intonation when they "speak" to other cats or to humans. In explaining the project, linguist Robert Eklund (of Sweden's Linkoping University) personally sounded out "a pretty wide range of meows to illustrate his points," wrote a New York magazine interviewer in April. Eklund is already an expert on feline purring (at Purring.org) -- although from a distance, as he admits to being allergic to cats.

The Passing Parade -- Quixotic Malaysian designer Moto Guo made a splash at Milan's fashion week in June when he sent model after model to the runway with facial blotches that suggested they had zits or skin conditions. One reporter was apparently convinced, concluding, "Each man and woman on the runway looked miserable."

-- Out of Control: (1) Nelson Hidalgo, 47, was arrested in New York City in June and charged with criminal negligence and other crimes for parking his van near Citi Field during a Mets game and drawing players' complaints when he ramped up the van's 80-speaker sound system. "I know it's illegal, but it's the weekend," said Hidalgo. "I usually (just) get a ticket." (2) Trina Hibberd of Mission Beach, Australia, finally showed concern about the python living inside her walls that she has known about for 15 years but (perhaps "Australian-ly") had chosen to ignore. In June, it wandered out -- a 15-foot-long, 90-pound Scrub Python she calls "Monty." "All hell broke loose," a neighbor said later, as snake-handlers took Monty to a more appropriate habitat.

Wait, What?

Brigham Young University professor Jason Hansen apologized in May after coaxing a student (for extra credit) to drink a small vial of his urine in class. The physiology session was on kidney function, and Hansen thought the stunt would call attention to urine's unique properties. He confessed later that the "urine" was just food coloring with vinegar added; that he had used the stunt in previous classes; and that he usually admits the ruse at the next class session. Nonetheless, Hansen's department chair suggested he retire the concept.

Police Report A Woman at the Top of Her Game: In Nashville, Tennessee, in June, sex worker Jonisia Morris, 25, was charged with robbing her client by (according to the police report) removing the man's wallet from his trousers while he received oral sex seated in his car, extracting his debit card, and returning the wallet to his pocket -without his noticing.

Fetishes on Parade Recidivist Jesse Johnson, 20, was charged again in June (for suspicion of disturbing the peace) after he had crawled underneath a woman's car at an Aldi store's parking lot in Lincoln, Nebraska, waited for her to return, and then, as she was stepping into the car, reaching out to fondle her ankle. It was Johnson's third such charge this year, and he initially tried to deny the actual touch, instead claiming that he was underneath the car "simply for the visual."

Johnson acknowledged to the judge that he needs help and that he had been in counseling but had run out of money. (At press time, the status of the latest incident was still pending.)

THE NORTH’S NEW

POWERHOUSE

Northern Michigan’s newest power plant, a massive twin-tower complex tucked into the woods between Elmira and Gaylord, goes online this month. It will be northern Michigan’s largest power plant, generating over 400 megawatts. The hope of officials at Wolverine Power Cooperative: that it will satiate their customers’ energy appetite for years to come.

The Alpine Power Plant is a natural gas peaking plant — aka a “peaker plant” — meaning it can be fired up quickly to provide electricity for surges in demand. Its opening has drawn little resistance from environmentalists, who strongly opposed a Wolverine coal plant project a few years back.

LARGEST IN THE NORTH Alpine, which will provide electricity to the members of Cherryland Electric Cooperative, Great Lakes Energy, and Presque Isle Electric and Gas Cooperative, dwarfs any other natural gas plant in Wolverine’s portfolio. Initial estimates projected its cost at $100 million; at completion, its cost totaled over $150 million.

“This one is our largest output. This is the largest generator north of the Saginaw-Ludington area,” said Wolverine spokesman Kenneth Bradstreet.

The plant also represents a step in the evolution of how people get electricity. Natural gas plants are called peaking plants because they can provide power on demand and are easily turned on or off. That’s an advantage over coal plants, which can take a day or two to fire up and so, must run around the clock.

In northern lower Michigan, peak times tend to be the hottest and muggiest days in the middle of the week, when air conditioners are fired up in homes, offices and factories.

Bradstreet said the scale of the plant is designed to accommodate those occasional surges in demand.

“It’s kind of like, you go into a Walmart store right now — they’ll have 25 check-out lanes, but only 10 of them are operating,” Bradstreet said.

“The reason they have 25 is because they know that, once in a while, they’ll need 25.”

Another key strategy in Alpine’s design?

Its location. While it might appear as though the plant was dropped into the middle of the woods, it’s actually located at an optimal place: the intersection of the TransCanada transmission line that carries natural gas across the state and a Wolverine electrical transmission artery.

Alpine “Peaker Plant” Goes Live This Month 10 • july 11, 2016 • Northern Express Weekly

AN ALTERNATIVE TO COAL So how did this monstrous natural gas peaker come to be? Credit the failure of Wolverine’s pitch to erect a coal plant in Rogers City. Environmental groups fiercely opposed the proposal, citing air and water quality and climate change concerns. When regulators denied approval for the 600-megawatt plant in 2013, Wolverine scrapped its proposal and looked for a Plan B. The cooperative’s experience mirrors a shift in the utility industry across the country: Coal plants are out and natural gas plants are in.

“I think it’s fair to say that if we had built the Rogers City plant, we wouldn’t have built this one,” Bradstreet said. “It’s a different kind of product really. Rogers City was a base-load plant that would have operated around the clock. This one operates on an as-needed basis.”

That as-needed basis opens up additional opportunity for environmentally friendly power, allowing the utility to easily add more renewable energy sources in the future, keeping the peaking plant as backup, Bradstreet said.

Despite many positives, Bradstreet said Alpine still generated some concern, especially from neighbors who were worried about noise generated from the plant, but the local approval process ultimately proved uneventful.

“We had a lot of questions,” Bradstreet said. “We added a couple million dollars to the design just to make sure it was as quiet as it could possibly be, because we do want to be good neighbors.”

Likewise, securing permits from state and

federal regulators was equally smooth — a large departure from what Wolverine faced with its coal plant proposal.

“I think it’s accurate to say it’s impossible to build a coal plant right now, impossible to get the permitting that you need from everybody, or to avoid the risk that seems to be there from the federal side,” Bradstreet said.

low-cost electricity,” he said.

That plant, however, only returns 70 percent of the power that it takes to run, he said.

“There aren’t batteries per se where you can store large amounts of power yet. That technology is not developed yet on a commercial scale,” Bradstreet said. “There’s a lot of different technologies that they’re working on. I hope some day that they’re able to make them efficient enough for large-scale commercial use.”

Pruss believes there are smaller-scale technologies that are on the verge of viability that will revolutionize the energy infrastructure and store energy on a large scale.

Even as battery storage improves, technology for controlling energy demand is rapidly developing. Pruss sees a world where consumers cede control of energy used by appliances in exchange for rate cuts so that electricity use is stabilized, eliminating the need for a peaking plant like Alpine.

“The aggregation of household appliances, doing that throughout the service area is very, very large,” Pruss said. “People — utility executives included — don’t fully understand how fast the technology is changing. It’s explosive growth, and it’s just starting.”

ENVIRONMENTALISTS ARE CAUTIOUS Regardless of the fluidity of the process that brought Alpine to fruition, not everyone agrees the natural gas plant is a good idea.

Stanley “Skip” Pruss is one. Principal and co-founder of 5 Lakes Energy, a clean-energypolicy consulting firm, and the director of the Michigan Department of Energy, Labor and Economic Growth under former Governor Jennifer Granholm, Pruss said Wolverine makes a lot of smart moves, but he doesn’t believe the construction of the Alpine plant was among them.

“There’s a lot of things I think Wolverine Power is doing correctly now,” he said. “They are really ahead of the curve.”

For example, the cooperative has invested heavily in wind power — so much that wind could soon make up 30 percent of its energy portfolio. Its member electrical cooperatives also QUESTIONS AND LIMITED OPTIONS are investing in solar. Pruss believes moves like Wolverine is not alone in switching to that will give customers long-term rate stability. natural gas.

BY THE MAIN STAGE!

Alpenfest’s Concert Lineup

By Kristi Kates

here’s a whole host of things to do at Gaylord’s Alpenfest, the annual summer celebration of the city’s Alpine heritage. The 52nd Alpenfest will run July 12–16 this year, with every day stuffed full of food, carnival rides and games. Not to be missed: the historic Alpenfest Grand Parade (July 16 at noon) and the transformation of the city’s Main Street into to the Alpenstrasse (July 13–16 10am–9pm), a bustling community market where more than 60 artists and craftsmen from around the U.S. sell their wares.

One of Alpenfest’s biggest highlights is its concert series on downtown’s main stage, where all shows are free with the purchase of an Alpenfest pin ($3). Here’s who’s performing:

1. BEGINNINGS: The Chicago Tribute Band Wednesday, July 13, 8pm Eight veteran musicians came together to explore the music of the rock band Chicago as a labor of love, but their ambitious collaboration caught on. Today, Beginnings is one of the best-known Chicago tribute bands in the nation. The group’s performances, complete with the full “Funky in the Middle” horn section, closely replicate Chicago’s original sound from their ’70s heyday and include tunes like “25 or 6 to 4,” “If You Leave Me Now” and “Just You and Me.” More information: beginningstributeband.com

2. THE COOKIES Thursday, July 14, 8pm Local favorites and Gaylord music success story The Cookies are one of the hottest groups in the region, thanks to their combo of Motown sounds and dance tunes that span from the ’60s to today. Jake Thomas, Richie V, Lexi Lou, and Jakey Baby are standout musicians who trade lead vocals and often change instruments between different songs; their collective efforts add piles of danceable energy to tracks like Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean,” Bruno Mars’ “Treasure,” and ’70s-era singles like “Funky Town.” With a playlist like theirs, don’t be surprised if you can’t keep your feet still during their performance.

12 • july 11, 2016 • Northern Express Weekly

3. SATISFACTION: The Rolling Stones Show Friday, July 15, 8pm These musicians work to embody the spirit and music of international rockers The Rolling Stones, performing over 150 shows a year in what’s said to be the most authentic cast and costuming of all Stones tribute shows. They’ve been featured on the news segment of CBS Sunday Morning and Rolling Stone magazine and for good reason: they groove through 50 years of the band’s original hits with absolute authenticity. The Rolling Stones themselves even have approved the band to perform, and director Martin Scorsese chose them to help promote Shine a Light, the Rolling Stones concert film.

4. ALAN TURNER Saturday, July 16, 8pm Most often compared to Garth Brooks and Tim McGraw, country fans will love this performance by 2015 Inspirational Country Awards New Artist of the Year nominee Turner, who brings along his Steel Horse Band to charge up his audiences with highenergy country-rock music. He’s a popular touring act through both the U.S. and Canada, and he logged over 130 live shows last year alone. The self-proclaimed cowboy even has opened for Kenny Rogers — appropriate, considering Turner calls Rogers’ album The Gambler the inspiration for his country music career.

THE MAIN MAN AT MAIN STREET MARKET The team at Main Street Market: Executive Chef John Chambers, owners Gary Kosch and Wendy Kosch, and General Manager Katie Buckler.

By Ross Boissoneau

G

ary Kosch might blanch at the label, but he is in fact the main man at the Main Street Market, as well as several other establishments. The longtime businessman/entrepreneur owns or co-owns numerous restaurants in the Detroit area, plus The Boathouse and the Agave Grill restaurants in Traverse City; Trout Town Tavern & Eatery in Kalkaska; and now, three facilities in the Alpine Village of Gaylord.

So yes, he’s the main man, but he doesn’t see it that way.

He prefers to share the accolades with his staff and his family. His wife, Wendy, is an interior designer, and he’s partnered with his brother Gordie and Gordie’s wife, Julie, on their downstate endeavors, as well as with his brother Doug in Traverse City.

And while he doesn’t seek the spotlight himself, he’s bullish on all his establishments — though which restaurant is uppermost in his thoughts depends on that day’s receipts: “My favorite is the one making the most money,” he said.

In Gaylord, that means one of a trio: the Alpine Tavern & Eatery, a sports bar and grill on Otsego Drive, one block south of Main Street; the Otsego Grand Event Center at 610 S. Wisconsin Ave., capable of handling parties of 25 to 200 as well as off-site catering; and the newest addition, the Main Street Market. “It’s the location,” said Kosch of the café and market located on the northeast corner of West Main and North Court streets.

It is actually many things to many people: A gourmet market, yes, but also a wine bar. A café. A coffee shop. A deli.

And an eatery.

That lattermost boasts three separate menus: for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The first features coffee beans from Keweenaw Coffee Works in the Upper Peninsula, alongside a slim selection of breakfast sandwiches and sweets.

The offerings expand at lunch, with a variety of artisan soups; salads such as kale and quinoa with a lemon vinaigrette, and a roasted beet and arugula with maple balsamic;

and sandwiches like croque-monsieur, chicken pesto Panini, the Audrain beef (named for the building’s origin as Audrain Hardware) and lemon caper salmon melt.

In the evening, they shop switches gears with a dinner menu featuring appetizers such as charcuterie and duck tenders, small plates like bison meatloaf and pork ribeye, and various flatbreads. The comestibles are complemented by craft beers, cocktails and an extensive wine list.

Executive Chef John Chambers said his motto is “fresh and local.” He said he supports as many local growers as he can and brings in and serves items as quickly as possible. As an example, he points to one of the daily specials, fresh fish from Lake Superior: “It was caught the day before,” he said.

If you’re on the go, you can grab something from the deli case or wander through the selection of jams, spreads, crackers, oils, vinegar, cured meats, imported cheeses and other gourmet items.

Why Gaylord? Like others, Kosch said after vacationing in the area as a child he wanted to return. And he saw business opportunities there, starting with the Alpine Tavern & Eatery.

“I’ve been in the restaurant business 35 years. We have multiple locations in the Detroit area,” Kosch said. “I started in northern Michigan with [the former] Gordie Howe’s [now Agave Mexican Grill]. In Gaylord, I started 12 years ago with the tavern. Last year I did the Otsego Grand Event Center.

This year, the restaurant [Main Street Market].”

Not that he necessarily intended to keep going. “I originally retired 10 years ago,” he said with a grin.

Though he and his wife recently relocated to Traverse City, he’s often on site at his Gaylord properties. In fact, he intends to build a small apartment above the market, as well as offices. Another possible option is a rooftop garden for herbs. That’s already a work in progress, as Chef Chambers and his staff tend to some parsley, thyme and basil in pots on the roof.

Before its current incarnation, the Main Street Market was a used furniture store, and, originally, Audrain Hard-

ware. When Kosch had the building stripped down, workers found some of the original brick walls in good shape, as well as the original ceiling. “We pulled down the drop ceiling and found tin ceilings up front,” said Katie Buckler, the general manager.

The decor matches past with present, mixing an industrial feel with modern, urban aesthetics. Kosch credits his wife, Wendy, for the tasteful touches, noting she was the designer for the facility. Up front, the wooden door and gears from the oldest freight elevator in Michigan add even more rustic charm.

Kosch is happy with his latest endeavor. Patrons are keeping it busy and are no doubt pleased that he failed at retirement.

Gaylord’s Alpine building motif STILL GOING STRONG

hat do you do to draw tourists if your town is in danger of dying? If you’re the people of Gaylord some 50 years ago, you transform it to look like somewhere else entirely — in this case, a quaint Alpine village in Switzerland.

“It got started with some of the business community in the early ’60s,” said Gaylord City Manager Joe Duff. Thanks to the opening of I-75, which bypassed Gaylord rather than ran right through it, as old US-27 had, travelers were driving right past the town, and business was suffering, he said.

“The town leaders worried about the death of downtown,” said Paul Beachnau, executive director of the Gaylord Chamber of Commerce. “They needed to do something unique.”

Cue the alpine theme. The nearby Otsego Club had opened in 1939. Original owner Don McLouth had favored Swiss chalet styling for his buildings, and visitors had loved it. “The city leaders said, ‘Why don’t we do this?’ It made the town look different,” said Beachnau.

“Gordon Everett, a printer and publisher, decided to encourage the downtown to take on the look. Banks said they would provide low-interest loans,” said Duff.

Gaylord citizens embraced the concept, and the style caught on throughout the central business district.

While Gaylord is more than 4,000 miles from the Swiss Alps, the style fit well with the copious amounts of snow the area was blessed with each winter. Since converting, the city council of Pontresina, Switzerland

has recognized the northern Michigan hamlet as “family,” having named it a sister city.

Today as Gaylord continues to grow, it leverages its four-season recreational opportunities more than its Alpine style to draw tourists — the city sits smack dab in the center of the region’s golf mecca and its snowbelt — but its motif is still an essential part of its success, says Beachnau. “Our message is ‘All outdoors.’ We’ve got the Pigeon River State Forest, downhill and cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, hiking,” said Beachnau. “On top of it, we’ve got this cute thematic area.”

Despite the fact there are no hard and fast rules regarding use of the Alpine theme, Duff said the facades of buildings old and new reinforce it. “We’ve always encouraged it, but there are no design standards. We’ve seen pretty good success,” he said, pointing to a recent facelift of the Alpine Tavern and the Alpine Executive Center, a multi-suite retail and office space in the heart of downtown.

The city’s growth to the west has seen fewer businesses invest in the Alpine heritage. Duff said larger corporations, such as the relatively new Meijer on the west side, are less inclined to do so. But even some of those, including Arby’s, McDonald’s, Advanced Auto, Speedway, and Burger King, have incorporated the theme to some extent.

The heart of the downtown is where the Alpine heritage is most evident. Visitors walking on Main Street can’t escape it, as numerous businesses sport the gabled roofs with wide eaves, exposed beams and brackets, window boxes and other hallmarks of the style.

Those traditions come to the forefront during Alpenfest, the city’s annual summer cel-

ebration. Beachnau said the festival is tremendously important to the city. Main Street is closed to traffic and becomes a walking version of the German Alpenstrasse, where artists and craftsmen from around the country gather to display and sell their wares.

Alpenfest’s Saturday parade features folks in lederhosen and burgermeisters, aka “master of the citizens,” in their black jackets.

The festival even includes a blowing of the alphorn, the long wooden natural trumpet used by villages in the Alps to communicate

with one another in those long-ago pre-telephone and pre-internet days. Beachnau said a local woman has been playing it at the Alpenfest for over 30 years and has passed the tradition to her granddaughter.

All this because some forward-thinking town fathers pressed for a unique look to revitalize and rebrand their city a half-century ago. “We can’t prevent [Gaylord businesses] from doing something else, but we ask them to take a look at it,” said Duff. “It’s worked out fairly well.”

hen Wendy Fleming took on a parttime job at the Sugar Bowl during Alpenfest just out of college years ago, waiting tables and bartending, she didn’t plan to stick around long, and she certainly never dreamed she would still be here a quarter of a century later. “They treated me so well, though, that I already felt at the time like I had been here forever,” she said. “It was just one of those things that was meant to be.”

ALL IN THE (GREEK) FAMILY The Sugar Bowl seems to have that effect on people. Since brothers George and Harry Doumas emigrated from Greece and founded the restaurant in 1919, one of its hallmarks has been its longstanding staff. The first chef stayed on for over 60 years, cooking on a cast-iron wood stove for much of that time. The current chef, Bob Kidder, started as a dishwasher 42 years ago, gradually training in the kitchen and moving up the ranks. Several other employees can look back at careers at the Sugar Bowl spanning four or five decades.

Today, Fleming wears many hats in the organization — among them manager, payroll clerk and assistant to the owner (octogenarian Robert H. Doumas, son of co-founder George Doumas).

“There’s a reason why our people want to stay,” she said. “Mr. Doumas is very good to all of us.

When you work for a family restaurant like this, versus a chain, you become kind of like family too — it’s so nice, and so different from dealing with a big corporation. This is one of the oldest family-run restaurants in Michigan — maybe in the country.”

That kind of employee longevity is rare and admirable — especially in the restaurant industry — but Fleming noted that it’s not the main thing that brings customers in and keeps them coming back. “They come for the food,” she said. “The menu has stood the test of time as well. We change things a little from time to time — to take advantage of seasonal ingredients, or for holidays or special events — but basically, it stays the same, because that’s the way our customers like it. They might have been coming here for 30 years, and they’ve been ordering the whitefish, and it’s good every time.

Mr. Doumas drives to Mackinaw City every week to get it fresh, sometimes twice a week in the summer. He drives there himself in his convertible that says ‘Sugar B’ on the back!”

16 • july 11, 2016 • Northern Express Weekly

The menu is designed to appeal to a wide range of people — and that also describes the clientele. “The demographic includes all ages, but we’re trying really hard to market ourselves better to the age 21-to-50 group,” said Fleming. “We do get a lot of families. Gaylord is very centrally located, and families that are spread out across the area will meet here and enjoy a nice meal together. With our large menu, everybody can find something they like. We get a lot of tourists, too, and people passing through. We have signs on I-75 and on M-32, and people driving by see them and stop in, so we get visitors from all over, yearround. People come up to this area for skiing, snowmobiling, hunting, hiking fishing — it’s not just locals in the wintertime, although we certainly appreciate their support too!”

COOKING OUT – INSIDE Fleming says Sunday is always busy during the day. The extensive breakfast-brunch menu is no doubt a factor in that, with five different offerings from the “Skillet Corner” and a quartet of omelets, eight “Sugar Bowl Favorites” (including Belgian waffles, French toast, hot cakes and more), house-made corned beef hash, and the large and — according to the menu — “super good” homebaked chocolate muffin.

“Open hearth” dinners rule on Fridays and Saturdays in the summer. “They are extremely popular,” said Fleming. “We cook out — but it’s inside. Our chefs prepare the steaks, the lamb chops, and the prime rib over an open fire, and we usually do a sauté dish that flames — it’s quite the show, and the customers love it!” Friday is a big night in the bar for happy hour, with 50 percent off drinks and $5.00 appetizers like bruschetta, flat bread pizza, baked goat cheese in wine sauce with kalamata olives, and flaming saganaki cheese.

If those last two sound faintly — or very — Greek to you, you’re on the right track. In fact, Greek specialties are — not surprisingly, considering the Sugar Bowl’s provenance — sprinkled liberally throughout its extensive menu.

“Many people come here specifically for the Greek food,” said Fleming. “It’s one of the only places in the region that you can get it. We sell a ton of gyros and a great deal of our Athenian veal, and we also have a feta-chicken sandwich, Greek-seasoned lamb chops, and our signature Greek-style lemon-rice soup, to name just a few. Mrs. Doumas, the owner’s wife, makes the

Baklava, and we make spanakopita, which is on the salad bar every weekend. Mrs. Doumas taught the cooks how to make that.”

FROM GYROS TO…BRATWURST? But the Sugar Bowl’s menu also pays homage to Gaylord’s now-traditional “Alpine Village” identity (its sister city is Pontresina, Switzerland) with several Swiss, German and Austrian dishes. And the restaurant makes it a point to feature several of them prominently during the town’s annual ode to its alter ego (this year July 12–16). “We’re a big part of the Alpenfest every year,” said Fleming. “We set up an outdoor café under a big tent that can seat between 70 to 100 people, and we serve Wiener schnitzel, knockwurst, bratwurst, sauerkraut, German potato salad — anything with a Swiss or Alpine theme.” There is also a service bar in the tent for the obligatory beer (among other beverages) that pairs so well with those specialties. “The tent is open from 11 in the morning until 11 at night, and we have a live polka band that plays,” said Fleming. “It’s always a good time — people dance in the street!”

The Sugar Bowl’s centennial is coming up in three years, a milestone definitely worth celebrating. “There will be a big celebration for sure, but for now we’re concentrating on the present — this Alpenfest, and the rest of this year,” said Fleming. “We’ll start making our plans for the anniversary when it gets closer.”

Of course. When you’ve already been around for 97 years, what’s the hurry?

The Sugar Bowl is located at 216 West Main St. in Gaylord. Open daily with breakfast starting at 7am, lunch at 11am, and dinner in the family room at 4pm. The main dining room opens at 5:30pm. Banquet and private rooms are available upon request. For more information, visit sugar-bowl-restaurant.com or call 989-732-5524.

The Straits of Mackinac Shipwreck Preserve

By Kristi Kates There is an incredible amount of history beneath the Great Lakes’ depths, and scuba divers are some of the people who know the lore best. As they descend into the fresh waters that we are all so familiar with, ghosts of the past slowly come into view: hulking freighters and broken masts. Mussel-encrusted anchors and ships’ wheels softened by decades of algae. Bilge pumps and jibs abandoned as sailors fought for their lives.

Established in 1987, the Straits of Mackinac Shipwreck Preserve’s dual goal is to promote diving and to protect shipwrecks within the preserve’s range: 148 square miles extending from Wilderness State Park, north of Harbor Springs, and stretching northeast to the northern edge of Mackinac Island and including Round Island, Bois Blanc Island, and St. Helena Island. It’s an area relatively dense with artifacts — 12 marked shipwrecks in all, with additional sites both in the shallows closer to shore and in deeper waters nearby.

Dan Friedhoff is secretary of the preserve’s managing organization, which was established several years after the preserve itself. “There was an unofficial group of people doing this for years, helping protect and promote wrecks both in the preserve and in the surrounding area, but now we’re an official organization,” Friedhoff said.

Shipwrecks are protected by law; people aren’t allowed to raise, move or take artifacts from them without permission. But in spite of this, Friedhoff explained, some divers still take things like portholes, figureheads, and cargo boxes — items valuable to underwater archaeologists and historians. “These are things that, if not left on the ship itself, should be in a museum, not in someone’s garage,” Friedhoff said.

“There’s still some theft going on, unfortunately, but now there are people like me watching, and we do end up doing a couple of prosecutions every year. ” Great Lakes shipwrecks are always impressive in photos and film, and can be even more astonishing to see in person. Due to the lakes’ cold fresh water, most shipwrecks remain intact, with little degradation, as opposed to ocean wrecks that are slowly eroded by the water’s salinity. Friedhoff points out three in particular that

he thinks every diver to the preserve must see, his voice speeding up as he relays the details rendered clear by his own experiences.

“The Eber Ward is a 200-foot wooden steamship that’s five miles west of the Mackinac Bridge,” he said. “It was going through the Straits in the spring of 1909. They thought they saw some slush ice up ahead, which they could usually just go right through, but it was thick ice that cut into the bow.” The Eber Ward now sits upright on the bottom, in water 140 feet deep, meaning you have to be an expert to dive to it.

“It gets tricky because of the depth, the cold water, and the currents going back and forth between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron,” Friedhoff explained. “But once you’re there, you can swim through the cargo hold and engine room and see the loading mechanism with its wheels and crane. And since it’s so deep, there are less zebra mussels on it.”

A second ship, the Sandusky, is a twomasted brigantine that sank in 1856 carrying a cargo of grain; it’s the oldest-known shipwreck in the preserve, felled by a violent September gale that took its entire crew. “It’s sitting on the bottom now, mostly upright with its jib boom sticking out into the distance,” Friedhoff said.

“The neat thing about that one is that it had a scroll figurehead on the bow — that’s now on display at the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse’s Straits of Mackinac Shipwreck Museum (in Mackinaw City.) But some people from Detroit made a replica of the figurehead and got permission to attach it 25 years ago, so now it just looks like part of the boat.”

The third ship of note is one that Friedhoff has a personal connection to. “The Cedarville is the third largest wreck in the Great Lakes, and my father, William Friedhoff, was a crewman on that boat,” Friedhoff said. When the Cedarville collided with another ship in dense, foggy conditions, it didn’t sink immediately, but its impact still took the lives of 10 men — and changed the lives of the rest of the crew.

“My father was one of the engine room men, but he was off-duty at the time of the collision and was up top,” Friedhoff said. “The ship rolled and threw him across the deck. He broke his leg and fell in the water. But when he surfaced, he was right next to a lifeboat. He survived, but after that experience he decided he was done working on ships.”

As difficult as these experiences were for those involved, the wrecked remains help tell the story of the ships themselves, as well as what was going on historically in transportation and commerce during the time of their sinking. Part of the preserve’s aim is to help interested parties visit the shipwrecks safely and respectfully.

Divers don’t need special permission to explore the preserve, but Friedhoff stresses that only experienced divers should go under. “You can book a local charter or take your own boat out,” he said. “But you really have to be careful.” The preserve has established safe mooring buoys above a dozen of the major shipwrecks to prevent individuals from dropping their own anchors. “Anchors can snag onto a loose part of the shipwreck and destroy it,” Friedhoff said. “And also, if you’re diving, and your boat floats away, you can be in real trouble. So we’re protecting both the wrecks and the divers.”

The Straits of Mackinac Shipwreck Preserve organization isn’t state-funded. It pays for preserve buoys and other maintenance projects by selling shipwreck calendars and Tshirts at its website. Friedhoff said that all of the effort is worth it to preserve this unique pastime and its attractions, and keep those who participate safe, informed and enthused.

“I feel like I’m doing something enjoyable for me and helping enhance other peoples’ visits to northern Michigan,” he said. “And most of all, we’re doing a public service by protecting these important shipwrecks.”

The Three Largest Shipwrecks in the Great Lakes THE EDMUND FITZGERALD About: At 729 feet, the Big Fitz was launched in June of 1958. It was the biggest ship on the Great Lakes, carrying cargo of taconite iron ore pellets from mines in Minnesota to Detroit and Toledo, Ohio. The ship has been immortalized in song by Ontario singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot.

Sank: November 10, 1975. Entire crew of 29 was lost.

Cause: A severe storm on Lake Superior with near hurricane-force winds and 35foot waves.

THE CARL D. BRADLEY About: Launched in 1927, the Bradley measured 639 feet in length and was owned by the Bradley Transportation Company, which used the ship to haul limestone from the Michigan limestone quarry in Rogers City, Mich.

Sank: November 18, 1958. Of the 35 crewmen, only two survived.

Cause: Gale force winds and a structural failure on the ship that led to an explosion.

THE SS CEDARVILLE About: Also put in service in 1927, the Cedarville checked in at 588 feet and was a sister ship of the Bradley and part of the Bradley Transportation Company, which was owned by U.S. Steel. It, too, carried limestone.

Sank: May 7, 1965. Only 25 of the 35 crewmen survived.

Cause: Collision with the Norwegian ship SS Topdalsfjord in heavy fog.

TRUSTING HIS

INSTINCTS

James Jones Keeps Grayling Record Store Alive

By Kristi Kates There are some people who know what they want to do in life from the time they’re a kid. One of those people would be Grayling’s James Jones. He grew up collecting records and, by the age of 12, knew that he wanted to open a record store.

“Music was really my only friend as a kid,” Jones explained. “So here I was, living in this small town and listening to the music everyone else was listening to at the time. Then I started reading Thrasher (a skateboarding/music magazine) in sixth grade and found out about bands like Sonic Youth and The Dead Milkmen. I got exposed to the fact that there was more outside of this town, and that was it.”

Once Jones hit adulthood, he opened Trust Fall Records and a small coffeeshop on Michigan Ave. in Grayling in September 2011. Five years in, Jones’ passionate venture is still going strong — so much so that he’s in the middle of expanding to a new location. Quite literally, it’s the music that’s moved him.

Jones, who also skateboards and includes some skateboarding gear for sale in the record shop, is a musician in his own right, having taught himself to play guitar when he was 19.

“I’d always been able to sing, but I could never find a guitarist, and I wanted to form a band,” he said. “So I learned on my own, and now I play bass and mandolin too.” His current band project, a punk band called Dude Man Sir, aka DMS., plays locally, and claims to be “Grayling’s best all-girl band,” an inside joke for those in the know; the only female member of the group is its drummer.

Jones’ own musical experimentations led him to open a small record label along with his record store. “We release local and regional music, mostly compilations and 7-inch vinyl records,” Jones said. “The goal for that is to put out unheard music and to give people a place to play.” (Jones occasionally holds live shows right in the record store). He added, “I also noticed that there are a lot of local people who are treated like royalty just because they can play a few cover songs, so I wanted to really encourage kids to write their own music.”

In the store, music fans will find plenty to keep them occupied. The space is eclectically decorated, with vintage music gear, band stickers and punk art. Bins of records range from $1 bargains — a vinyl treasure hunt — to far more expensive limited edition collector’s editions. Jones said the store’s No. 1 selling album is Doolittle, by late-’80s Boston alt-rock band The Pixies. “Whenever I order a copy, it’s rarely here for more than three days,” he said. But he also sells a lot of classic rock from the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s. On top of that, Trust Fall carries new and used cassettes, a method of listening to music that is, strangely, coming back into vogue, as well as new CD releases.

But the focus is primarily on vinyl, carefully curated by Jones’ own ear as he stays on the cutting edge of what’s new, what’s a real vintage catch, and what’s in demand. “I’ve always worshipped used record stores,” Jones said.

“It’s just so much cooler a lot of times to buy music that way, especially when you can find the original vinyl releases.”

Jones’ customers will find even more to like about the record store once it settles into its new location. The coffeeshop won’t be returning; Jones plans to focus on the music, expanding the amount of releases the store offers and eventually putting together a newalbum section that’s just as big as the store’s used vinyl department. Trust Fall 1.0, Jones explained, has come to an end. In late June he held a big farewell concert in the store, with 10 bands performing live as he packed up and prepared to move everything to its new home.

He said Trust Fall 2.0 will be up and running in just a couple of weeks. “The building we’ve been in is getting old,” he explained. “They wanted to sell it to me, but there’s so much that needs to be done to it in terms of upkeep, I didn’t want to buy it. So we’re making a final decision on our new location soon and should be open by early August.”

When the building housing Trust Fall 1.0 came up for sale, Jones initially thought it might be a sign that Trust Fall Records should close. But his loyal customers had other ideas.

“When we started having trouble with the building, people kept showing up and saying

18 • july 11, 2016 • Northern Express Weekly

‘There’s no way you’re closing,’” he said. “They were so cool — some of them even set up a GoFundMe account online to help us get moved.

So that’s how it’s going to be. I’ve had some other jobs over the years to make ends meet, but my primary goal really has been to make a life out of this record store, and so we’re going to continue on.”

TRUST FALL RECORDS JAMES JONES’ CURRENT HOT PICKS Who better to suggest new music for you than the guy who buys stacks of albums for his customers every week? Here are Jones’ top five picks for what you should buy and listen to next.

1. RADIOHEAD – A Moon-Shaped Pool “This album is so awesome, I can’t even begin to describe how good it is. I got back into Radiohead after the Atoms for Peace project came out. You have to buy this one.”

2. JEFFREY LEWIS AND LOS BOLTS – Manhattan “This is all-over-the-place indie rock, with great insert art that looks like old Zap Comix, showing how the album was made.”

3. MIKE AND THE MELVINS – Three Men and a Baby “This was recorded back in 1999, but they never got around to releasing it until now; they’ve got two bass players and make cool, concise, droning music.”

4. PRETTY IDIOTS – Pretty Idiots “Such a cool band — they make these strange, irrelevant, funny little pop songs.”

5. GRIMES – Art Angels “She makes electro-indie dance pop that’s just out of this world.”

A look back at Chasin’ Steel’s show on the Aten Place stage in 2014, the year the venue won honors from Crooked Tree Arts Center.

By Kristi Kates When asked about this year’s Aten Place concert lineup, you can almost see Bill Aten’s grin beaming through the phone. “I honestly think this is one of our very best seasons,” Aten said. “It’s just got such a good variety of performers of all different genre — about half new acts, and the other half, some of our favorites returning.”

Bill Aten and his wife, Maxine, have been running the Aten Place concerts series for 21 years now. The project started when a friend encouraged them to host a house concert back in 1995. Country-blues artists Josh White Jr. was the first performer at that first show in the Atens’ post-and-beam oak barn, set in the rural, rolling hills of an old dairy farm. The second show was Traverse City jazz vocalist Claudia Schmidt. And from there, the concerts just started rolling. “After that, the series took on a life of its own,” Bill Aten said. With each summer, the Atens made improvements to the barn venue: better seating, a bigger stage, vintage decorations, a sound system, lighting, and an outdoor pavilion.

This year, they’ve added more picnic tables outdoors, next to the covered pavilion, to accommodate those who enjoy the social opportunities nearly as much as the shows themselves. The concert series is nonprofit, so the Atens don’t sell food or beverages. Instead, they encourage people to bring their own and share if they wish. “We’re seeing more and more people showing up an hour or two early,” Aten said. “They really seem to like the opportunity to picnic before the shows. We’re also seeing a lot more groups going to shows together, like a dozen or more friends buying tickets in a block.”

There’s plenty of room for all at Aten Place, especially after 21 years of constant improvements on the property. For each show, they now welcome 175 for indoor seats, plus 25 for standingroom-only spots (also indoors), and another 100 for lawn seats. “Some people actually prefer the lawn tickets,” Aten said. “They like to enjoy the outdoors and watch the show at the same time.”

Aten Place was awarded the Crooked Tree Arts Center’s Arts and Cultural Organization eddi Award for 2014, honoring some of the best contributors to the arts in northern Michigan. And looking at the lineup for their 2016 season, they might just be in line for another award in

2017. A trio of show-stoppers hit the stage early in the summer — poprock guitarist Reina del Cid, Mark Lavengood’s Bluegrass Bonanza, and Detroit singer-songwriter Jill Jack. Then Aten Place 2016 is bringing blues artist David Gerald on July 16 and a performance by singer-storyteller Ronny Cox on July 23, the latter show one both Aten Place audiences and the Atens themselves are really looking forward to; this year marks Cox’s fourth performance on the Aten stage.

“I’m especially excited about the return of Ronny,” Aten said. “Ronny’s been in dozens of movies (among them RoboCop, Total Recall, and American Outlaws) and really got his start in the film Deliverance, but he’s such an accessible guy for the big name that he is. He meets people before and after the show and everything. It’s so great to have him back.”

The Jeremy Kittle Trio (July 30) and Nessa (Aug. 13) ring in the dog days of summer with dynamic sounds. Kittle is an American fiddle player and composer who’s been a featured performer on “Prairie Home Companion,” and Nessa is an energetic Celticfusion band that’s also performed at Aten Place before.

The season wraps up with Grammyaward-winning singer Barbara Bailey Hutchison on Aug. 20 and Virginia bluegrass band The Railroaders on Aug. 27.

“Barbara is actually concluding her live career right here at Aten Place,” Aten said.

“She’s been touring for 20 years, so she’s decided to focus on her studio work and her art from now on. We’re honored that her last show will be here at the barn.”

That sentiment is typical of how the Atens feel about most of their artists. Their concert series is a labor of love — love of music and of people. “This venture has been so rewarding in so many ways,” Aten said. “Our venue now attracts bigger-name artists. We get to share those talents with our community. And this is our way of supporting the arts. It took us a while to understand and make the best of the uniqueness of our venue. But Aten Place really seems to have become a destination for people now. We’ve come of age!”

Have Your Summer Remedy

By Kristi Kates Busking may be a fun way to play music and connect with people, but it isn’t usually a pivotal moment in a band’s career — unless you’re the Nashville-based Americana string band Old Crow Medicine Show.

The band’s turning point is the stuff of music industry legend. The band was out busking in front of the Boone Drug pharmacy in Boone, N.C., when happenstance led legendary American folk musician Doc Watson to them. Old Crow, on the spot, performed “Oh My Little Darling,” an old-time song they thought Watson might like. When they finished the tune, Watson praised the band and invited them to perform at his annual MerleFest music festival in Wilkesboro, which draws around 75,000 people every April.

At the festival, Sally Williams, general manager of the Grand Ole Opry, saw Old Crow perform and invited the band to participate in some summer music events there.

Old Crow moved to Nashville in October of 2000, and their upward trajectory began.

They were mentored by the Opry’s president, Marty Stuart, and would become official members of the Opry in 2013.

What makes the band so compelling and so unique is due in large part to their embrace and reworking of the music that pre-dates their own. When Old Crow were first starting out, they didn’t play originals; they took old blues, hillbilly, and folk songs, as well as tunes from minstrel shows and pre-war jug bands, and infused them with rock and punk sensibilities, playing the songs louder and faster and developing them into their own style. By the time Old Crow got around to writing their own music, the template had been set, and their love for “old-timey” music had become an essential ingredient of their original songs.

ple like our music is that it really isn’t old,” explained Old Crow’s Critter Fuqua, who sings and plays guitar and banjo. “I mean, Civil War-era music isn’t even that old. And during its time, it was actually all brand new music.” He suggested that the draw of their music might be its simplicity, an audio backto-basics counterpoint to the noise of modern day’s “over-saturation” of technology and convenience. “I think in America, we’re looking to our past again for music, kind of the way we are with food and sustainable farming and the revitalization of downtowns and neighborhoods,” he said.

The band’s value for organic, simple music is as much a part of their songwriting process as it is a key to their sound. For their original songs, Fuqua said, there isn’t really one songwriter in the band, nor do they have any real pattern to how they write. “The songs just kind of take form as they’re written,” he said, “whether one person brings a song to the band or we all work on a song and arrange it together.” Given that their latest album, Remedy, hit the prestigious Bill-

board Top 100 at No. 15, the highest debut in the band’s 16-year career, their formula — or lack thereof — is obviously working well.

While Brandi Carlile, the band’s coheadliner at their upcoming Interlochen show, has performed several shows Up North, Old Crow Medicine Show are lesser travelers to northern Michigan. But they’re sure to leave with a host of new fans. As part of the dual Old Crow-Carlile tour, both acts will take the stage together for a few musical collaborations during the show, as well as perform their own separate sets. “When we travel, it’s really about our live show,” Fuqua said. “We really do put on a SHOW, in big capital letters, and we talk to the audience and get them to be part of it. The biggest thing is that it’s important to us to have fun.”

Old Crow Medicine Show and Brandi Carlile will be in concert at Interlochen Center for the Arts’ Kresge Auditorium on July 15 at 7pm. For tickets and more information, visit tickets.interlochen.org.

FRESH FOOD I FABULOUS VIEW

by kristi kates

Mumford and Sons and Guests – Johannesburg – Glassnote

Much has been made of Mumford’s collaboration with Senegalese singer Baaba Maal on this album, and for very good reason.

But the additional guests — South African pop band Beatenberg and African-inspired London hip-hop/jazz act The Very Best — add even more layers to this harmony-filled project that was recorded in just a couple of days while Mumford toured in South Africa. Sonic highlights include the all-encompassing world anthem “There Will Be Time” and the soulful, spiritual “Si Tu Vieux.”

Paul McCartney – Pure McCartney – Hear Music

While McCartney’s latest collection is a greatest-hits of sorts, it’s also a unique one in that it’s curated by McCartney himself. He personally chose the songs and sequenced them in a more creative order than the usual chronology; instead, the songs are presented more like the setlist from a live show, with a cohesiveness that puts hits and classics right next to more overlooked (yet worthy) album cuts. Any McCartney album that opens with the gorgeous, wideeyed “Maybe I’m Amazed” is already off to a good start.

The Claypool Lennon Delirium – Monolith of Phobos – ato Records

This collaborative side project between Sean Lennon (John Lennon’s talented singer-songwriter son) and Les Claypool (singer/bassist for Primus) may seem like a strange mix on the surface, and in many ways it definitely is. But it’s also evident that Lennon’s more melodic, pensive sensibilities and Claypool’s weird blend of prog-rock and experimental funk play fairly well together in tunes that are at least inventive and different — if not immediately accessible. This one’s going to be an acquired listen.

TICKETS ON SALE NOW! The King’s Singers - July 11 Béla Fleck & Chris Thile - July 14

Kings Kaleidoscope – Beyond Control – GS Records

As the follow-up to their 2014 set, Becoming Who We Are, this Kings Kaleidoscope album was poised to have some difficulties as it struggled to exceed the prior set’s award-winning status. But it’s achieved a pretty good balance between staying focused on new sounds and musical experimentation, and the heart and soul of what gained the band a slew of fans in the first place. “Dust” sets down a solid beat and has perhaps one of the album’s most memorable choruses, while the lyrics of “In This Ocean” are a thoughtful meditation on fear.

DON’T YOU FORGET ABOUT FERRIS Thirty years ago, when the landmark John Hughes film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off hit theaters, there was one thing missing: a soundtrack. Movies like Dirty Dancing and The Breakfast Club were doing big soundtrack business during that era, but director/producer Hughes (who passed away in 2009) simply didn’t see a need for one. But for the movie’s 30th anniversary this year, an authorized soundtrack honoring the film is set for release via Paramount Pictures. While the tracks have yet to be revealed, the movie itself included tunes like Wayne Newton’s “Danke Schoen,” The Dream Academy’s “The Edge of Forever,” The Beatles’ “Twist and Shout” and, of course, Yello’s “Oh Yeah.” The soundtrack album is expected in September …

In other movie-meets-music news, Miss Sharon Jones!, the documentary following singer Sharon Jones of Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings has been released.

It will open on both coasts this summer and then expand to theaters nationwide.

The film includes footage of Jones’ many career accomplishments, live footage of her performing with her neo-soul band, and a look back at Jones’ struggle — through a series of unrewarding jobs and a fight against ageism — to get where she is today. The film will open on July 29 in New York and on Aug. 5 in Los Angeles …

Riot Fest is returning to Chicago Sept.

16–18 this year, and acts continue to appear on the roster. So far, the Chicago show, which will take place in Douglas Park, is set to feature Morrissey, Ween, The Flaming Lips, Death Cab for Cutie, Julian Marley, Social Distortion, Sleater-Kinney, and the original Misfits in headlining performances, along with sets from 2 Chainz, Gogol Bordello, DeVotchKa, The Hives, The Specials, and Motion City Soundtrack, among many others. Riot Fest also includes a carnival, food vendors, and more. You can find more infomation at riotfest.org/chicago …

Several musicians have written and released some new music inspired by NASA’s Juno mission, which just arrived in Jupiter’s orbit on July 4. Alt-rockers Weezer penned a song called “I Love the USA” (an appropriate title, at least, for the single’s release on Independence Day), while Trent Reznor teamed up with Atticus Ross for a track called “Juno” and a short film that they scored in honor of the space mission …

MODERN ROCK LINK OF THE WEEK: Speaking of space, Rihanna has recorded a song called “Sledgehammer,” which will be a featured track on the upcoming soundtrack for the new Star Trek movie, Star Trek: Beyond. The tune can be heard in the latest trailer for the film (Trailer

MINI BUZZ: Among those who will be heralded at the 2016 Kennedy Center Honors in December: James Taylor, Mavis Staples, and The Eagles …

Paloma Faith, Ella Eyre and Jess Glynne, all British singers, are leading the way as artists whose music is used to promote video games, TV shows, and ads …

Singer Jennifer Hudson has signed an exclusive record contract with Epic Records, and Epic’s CEO L.A. Reid and Clive Davis will collaborate as executive producers on Hudson’s upcoming new album …

Grouplove’s third album, Big Mess, is set for release on Sept. 9, also the launch for its first single “Welcome to Your Life” …

Rumor has it that One Direction’s Harry Styles has indeed signed a solo record deal

with Columbia Records, as has been buzzed about for some time now; One Direction is currently on a break, so fans are concerned that this is the end for the band …

BMG has announced a long-term deal to represent the entire Roger Waters share of the Pink Floyd catalog, spanning from the band’s first album, in 1967, to The Final Cut, in 1983 …

And these albums are vying for your attention as this week’s new releases … Good Charlotte’s Youth Authority …

Michael Kiwanuka’s Love and Hate …

Shura’s Nothing’s Real … and Chevelle’s The North Corridor … and that’s the buzz for this week’s Modern Rock.

Disney’s The BFG is a real nail-biter — a film so boring, I gnawed my nails down to the quick, simply out of the need for something to do. Slow, uneventful, and dramatically inert, the restless energy in the auditorium for the first 90 minutes was more than I could take.

So, yeah, the latest from director Steven Spielberg is a disappointment to be sure, something all the more frustrating because his dream team is all here. Produced by Kathleen Kennedy (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) and Frank Marshall (Raiders of the Lost Ark); written by the late, great Melissa Mathison (E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial); with cinematography by Janusz Kaminski (Saving Private Ryan); and music by John Williams (every great soundtrack ever), there is no group of people who speak more to my cinematic soul.

Yet even when you combine all their talents with source material from a beloved children’s classic, a pair of great performances, and impressive visuals, as it turns out, the world of Roald Dahl’s wry and droll sense of imagination is simply no fit for that trademark Spielbergian sense of wonder. And try as they might for nearly two tiresome hours, the two never manage to successfully mesh together.

The themes Spielberg has previously explored to such beautifully compelling effect are all here but told through a foreign lens and sensibility with which he is never at ease. We open in London, at an orphanage where the spunky, driven insomniac Sophie (Ruby Barnhill) resides. After witnessing a giant roaming the streets of London, she’s literally plucked from her bed and taken to Giant Country to live with him.

What starts as an antagonistic relationship soon morphs into a friendship when it is revealed that Runt, aka The Big Friendly Giant, is the non-human eating target of his nine “cannybull” giant brethren.

The bulk of the film feels like just Sophie and The BFG talking. There’s a vague Inception-like dream-collecting subplot, but conflict is minimal,

and things drag on. It’s not until Sophie’s sense of injustice spurs her into action late in the film that things truly begin.

And things really do rally with a visit to the Queen, where an unforgettable breakfast is consumed, and you get to enjoy the company of the Queen’s absolutely adorable corgis. But this feels like an entirely different film.

There was simply no reason for Spielberg to direct this, and it feels like a real waste of his efforts (Ready Player One can’t come soon enough). It doesn’t transport, it doesn’t awe, it’s an exercise in whimsy gone deeply astray, and the most forgettable thing Spielberg has done since The Adventures of Tintin.

But no one gets performances out of child actors better, and The BFG is no exception. As Sophie, Barnhill is a little dynamo. She is strong and fierce and kind and everything a heroine should be. But in this CGI-heavy film, she ultimately suffers the same fate as Mowgli in this spring’s The Jungle Book: The gulf between child actor and digital giant is just too much.

Yet Barnhill couldn’t have had a better CGI performance to play against. Oscar-winner Mark Rylance is superb and the best reason to see the film. Lovable, charming and tender, he brings Dahl’s fantastic wordplay to life with The BFG’s sweetly squiggly language and charming malapropisms — how delightfully wondercrump!

Sweet-natured, sincere, low-key and with its heart in the right place, this film had the chance to be the refreshing antidote to the garish and frenetic entertainment that dominates children’s fare (as in, there’s only a couple of fart and belch jokes). But unless you or your child is a very old soul indeed, the genteel approach will register as mundane and their adventures as tedious.

T

his is a movie that feels like summer. And it’s not the beachy setting or its sun-dappled beauty but that it captures the best of what a summer blockbuster should be: pure riveting entertainment. Yet this is no blockbuster. It’s something much, much smaller and more modest, with a tight budget of only $17 million. Stripped of Hollywood excess, The Shallows is lean and mean — just like the killer fish at the story’s center. And in a summer that has been filled with over-bloated and ultimately forgettable “bigger is better” entertainment, this is a welcome respite.

It’s the incredible story of one woman’s (a sensational Blake Lively) survival saga, narrowly escaping a shark attack and finding sanctuary on a rock only 200 tantalizing yards from shore. Yet with a blood hungry behemoth continuing to circle the waters, it might as well be the moon. So yeah, it’s a shark movie, but it’s one so effortlessly efficient in its storytelling, so unpretentious in it’s B-movie brilliance, it just might be the best shark movie to come along since Jaws.

Spanish action savant Jaume Collet-Serra (Non-Stop) has made one heck of a sharp, satisfying and thrilling piece of filmmaking. It’s fun, it’s pretty, it’s 86 minutes of engaging entertainment — nothing more and nothing less.

P

ixar always delivers. But Finding Dory, the sequel to 2003’s charming tale of familial devotion, Finding Nemo, is merely a perfectly serviceable follow-up that, while entertaining, doesn’t reach for anything new.

Set a year after Finding Nemo’s events, Dory is feeling out of sorts; she loves her adopted family of Marlin and Nemo but yearns to meet her real one. Fragments of early memories of her parents (voiced by Diane Keaton and Eugene Levy) at home start to surface. Dory convinces Marlin and Nemo to help her find her parents, and the three soon find themselves in Californian waters, where Dory is “rescued” by a marine life institute, and now Merlin and Nemo try to figure out how to get Dory back. Pixar can’t be all WALL-E and Inside Out all the time (or can it?), but the studio has conditioned us to expect that level of quality all the time. It’s a curse to be sure, one that bites Pixar pretty hard when it fails to clear that bar. But we can forgive the creators their missteps, especially when you can tell their hearts were in the right place. Dory’s heart was right where it should be, but I’ve already forgotten most of it. I’ll wager you’ll do the same.

now you see me 2

A

gainst the heavy odds — this is a film about a “criminal band of illusionists,” after all — Now You See Me 2 works, and it works in a wonderful, enchanting way. It’s forged in an older, almost outmoded idea of entertainment, one that asks for a huge suspension of disbelief and trusts that you won’t take umbrage with its choices. You will gladly shelve your incredulity for two hours because, well, it’s just so damn fun. The Four Horsemen (Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, and Lizzy Kaplan) are back, working with FBI double agent (Mark Ruffalo) to expose a Google-esque tech giant. But nothing is quite what it seems, and they’re pulled into the schemes of a sinister Brit who demands they steal an all-powerful, all-controlling microchip. NYSM2 might be the best kind of caper film, one that allows you to blissfully watch as all the puzzle pieces fall into place and be genuinely entertained without a care in the world for authenticity and plausibility. So measured in its cheesiness, so aware of its ludicrousness, and so assured of its cleverness, it’s an undeniably great time — no, trick (no, excuse me … illusion) about it.

Q

: I’ve always been a very athletic guy. I do jujitsu every day. When I don’t exercise, I feel depressed. My girlfriend, however, has never been very physically active. She has a great body — naturally slim — without doing anything, which is probably why she’s unmotivated to work out. I just think that if she did — even a little — she’d look like a superhero and feel better. I keep urging her to exercise, but it’s not working. How do I encourage her?

— Concerned

A

: There’s that saying, “You are what you eat.” Apparently, your girlfriend ate a supermodel.

Numerous studies find that exercise is a mood booster and improves our cognitive abilities (like memory), even protecting them into old age. Incredibly, a study on female twins by geneticist Tim Spector found that those with fitter leg muscles showed fewer signs of aging in their brain 10 years later. But we humans have a very noworiented psychology. So, for many people — like women who shave their legs before stepping on the scale — these pluses are merely fringe benefits of workouts for jiggle management. And unfortunately, when your girlfriend looks in the mirror, she sees that all those runs to the vending machine seem to be paying off.

It’s sweet and loving that you want her to have the benefits of exercising, but stand back, because I’m about to make a big mess slaughtering a sacred cow. Dr. Michael Eades and Dr. Mary Dan Eades, low-carb pioneers whose evidence-based approach to dietary medicine I have great respect for, dug into the research on exercise after meeting professional fitness trainer Fredrick Hahn. They were surprised at what they found and ended up writing a book with Hahn — “The Slow Burn Fitness Revolution.”

In their book, they note that many of the ways people exercise actually don’t do all that much for their bodies or long-term health.

For example, they say that many endurance workouts — like the 7-mile runs I used to do — are “tremendously inefficient” for improving health and often come with some serious costs, like the need to have your knees rebuilt with medical Tupperware.

They also write that many sports that people consider exercise — including tennis, skiing,

adviceamy@aol.com advicegoddess.com

and (sorry!) martial arts — have some fitness benefits but would better be considered play.

They explain that exercise should do all of the following: 1. Make you stronger. 2. Improve your cardiovascular system. 3. Help you lose excess body fat. 4. Improve your endurance. 5. Improve your flexibility. And 6.

Preserve or increase your bone density and muscle mass.

The one exercise that does all of these things is slow-motion strength training. This involves lifting extremely heavy weights — weights that you can barely lift at all — extremely slowly. You do just three to six reps in 60- or 90-second intervals -- to the point where your muscles just scream and give out.

By the way, though it says on the cover of their book that you can change your body by working out like this for just 30 minutes weekly, Mary Dan Eades told me that you really only have to do it for 12 to 15 minutes a week but they figured nobody would believe that.

Now maybe you’re saying, “Come on…weightlifting for cardio?” Consider that your heart is a muscle and muscle cells need oxygen as they work. Mike Eades explains on his blog that conditioning your muscles through strength training makes the body more efficient at getting oxygen into muscle cells, which is what improves your cardiopulmonary function — not all the pound, pound, pound of a run.

As for how to get your girlfriend into this kind of exercise, first, it helps to explain that it requires a ridiculously small time commitment — far less than it takes for her to do “natural look” makeup (which, ironically, can take 40 minutes or more to apply). Of course, there’s still the problem of motivating her — considering how all she has to do to fit into her skinny jeans is have a plate of french fries and a nap.

Well, when you’re in a relationship, you get to make requests of your partner -- things you ask them to do simply because it would make you happy. Put your request in that light, but give her an attractive (rebellionquashing) timetable: For just three weeks, try slow-motion strength training with you. If, after that time, she hates it, she can stop. Mary Dan Eades explains that the three-week “try this” allows a person to experience some benefits, which often motivates them to keep going. If she does really get into it, be prepared: This eliminates any need to drag you kicking and screaming to the altar; she can just hoist you over her shoulder.

It STARTS with YOU It STAYS with HIM

Help create a world where sexual assault and domestic abuse are unthinkable.

Women’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan

(June 21-July 22): If you are smoothly attuned with the cosmic rhythms and finely aligned with your unconscious wisdom, you could wake up one morning and find that a mental block has miraculously crumbled, instantly raising your intelligence. If you can find it in your proud heart to surrender to "God," your weirdest dilemma will get at least partially solved during a magical three-hour interlude. And if you are able to forgive 50 percent of the wrongs that have been done to you in the last six years, you will no longer feel like you're running into a strong wind, but rather you'll feel like the beneficiary of a strong wind blowing in the same direction you're headed.

Men 100 Campaign 156 Helping end violence against women and girls

(March 21-April 19): Upcoming adventures might make you more manly if you are a woman. If you are a man, the coming escapades could make you more womanly. How about if you're trans? Odds are that you'll become even more gender fluid. I am exaggerating a bit, of course. The transformations I'm referring to may not be visible to casual observers. They will mostly unfold in the depths of your psyche.

But they won't be merely symbolic, either. There'll be mutations in your biochemistry that will expand your sense of your own gender. If you respond enthusiastically to these shifts, you will begin a process that could turn you into an even more complete and attractive human being than you already are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): ): I'll name five

100 Men Campaign 423 Porter Street, Petoskey, MI 49770 • (231) 347-0067 Information and resources: wrcnm.org/100-men-campaign

heroic tasks you will have more than enough power to accomplish in the next eight months. 1.

Turning an adversary into an ally. 2. Converting a debilitating obsession into a empowering passion.

3. Transforming an obstacle into a motivator. 4. Discovering small treasures in the midst of junk and decay. 5. Using the unsolved riddles of childhood to create a living shrine to eternal youth. 6. Gathering a slew of new freedom songs, learning them by heart, and singing them regularly -- especially when habitual fears rise up in you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your life has

resemblances to a jigsaw puzzle that lies unassembled on a kitchen table. Unbeknownst to you, but revealed to you by me, a few of the pieces are missing. Maybe your cat knocked them under the refrigerator, or they fell out of their storage box somewhere along the way. But this doesn't have to be a problem.

I believe you can mostly put together the puzzle without the missing fragments. At the end, when you're finished, you may be tempted to feel frustration that the picture's not complete.

But that would be illogical perfectionism. Ninety-seven-percent success will be just fine.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): ): How often have you

visited hell or the suburbs of hell during the last few weeks? According to my guesstimates, the time you spent there was exactly the right amount. You got the teachings you needed most, including a few tricks about how to steer clear of hell in the future. With this valuable information, you will forevermore be smarter about how to avoid unnecessary pain and irrelevant hindrances. So congratulations! I suggest you celebrate. And please use your new-found wisdom as you decline one last invitation to visit the heart of a big, hot mess.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): ): My friend Athena

works as a masseuse. She says that the highest praise she can receive is drool. When her clients feel so sublimely serene that threads of spit droop out of their mouths, she knows she's in top form. You might trigger responses akin to drool in the coming weeks, Virgo. Even if you don't work as a massage therapist, I think it's possible you'll provoke rather extreme expressions of approval, longing, and curiosity. You will be at the height of your power to inspire potent feelings in those you encounter. In light of this situation, you might want to wear a small sign or button that reads, "You have my permission to drool freely."

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The latest Free Will

Astrology poll shows that thirty-three percent of your friends, loved ones, and acquaintances approve of your grab for glory. Thirty-eight percent disapprove, eighteen percent remain undecided, and eleven percent wish you would grab for even

greater glory. As for me, I'm aligned with the eleven-percent minority. Here's what I say: Don't allow your quest for shiny breakthroughs and brilliant accomplishments to be overly influenced by what people think of you.

ScORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): ): You are at

the pinnacle of your powers to both hurt and heal. Your turbulent yearnings could disrupt the integrity of those whose self-knowledge is shaky, even as your smoldering radiance can illuminate the darkness for those who are lost or weak. As strong and confident as I am, even I would be cautious about engaging your tricky intelligence. Your piercing perceptions and wild understandings might either undo me or vitalize me. Given these volatile conditions, I advise everyone to approach you as if you were a love bomb or a truth fire or a beauty tornado.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Here's

the deal: I will confess a dark secret from my past if you confess an equivalent secret from yours. Shall I go first? When I first got started in the business of writing horoscope columns, I contributed a sexed-up monthly edition to a porn magazine published by smut magnate Larry Flynt. What's even more scandalous is that I enjoyed doing it. OK. It's your turn. Locate a compassionate listener who won't judge you harshly, and unveil one of your subterranean mysteries. You may be surprised at how much psychic energy this will liberate. (For extra credit and emancipation, spill two or even three secrets.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): What do you want to be when you grow up, Capricorn? What?

You say you are already all grown up, and my question is irrelevant? If that's your firm belief, I will ask you to set it aside for now. I'll invite you to entertain the possibility that maybe some parts of you are not in fact fully mature; that no matter how ripe you imagine yourself to be, you could become even riper -- an even more gorgeous version of your best self. I will also encourage you to immerse yourself in a mood of playful fun as you respond to the following question: "How can I activate and embody an even more complete version of my soul's code?"

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) On a summer

day 20 years ago, I took my five-year-old daughter Zoe and her friend Max to the merrygo-round in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park.

Zoe jumped on the elegant golden-maned lion and Max mounted the wild blue horse. Me? I climbed aboard the humble pig. Its squat pink body didn't seem designed for rapid movement. Its timid gaze was fixed on the floor in front of it. As the man who operated the ride came around to see if everyone was in place, he congratulated me on my bold choice. Very few riders preferred the porker, he said. Not glamorous enough.

"But I'm sure I will arrive at our destination as quickly and efficiently as everyone else," I replied. Your immediate future, Aquarius, has symbolic resemblances to this scene.

PIScES (Feb. 19-March 20): Early on in our

work together, my psychotherapist confessed that she only works with clients whose problems are interesting to her. In part, her motivations are selfish: Her goal is to enjoy her work. But her motivations are also altruistic. She feels she's not likely to be of service to anyone with whom she can't be deeply engaged. I understand this perspective, and am inclined to make it more universal. Isn't it smart to pick all our allies according to this principle? Every one of us is a mess in one way or another, so why not choose to blend our fates with those whose messiness entertains us and teaches us the most? I suggest you experiment with this view in the coming weeks and months, Pisces.
