Not a Bypass The so-called Hartman-Hammond bypass was — and still is — an illconsidered proposition that only made you think it was a bypass. Imagine another traffic light at Hartman and US-31 less than a half- mile from the mega intersection at South Airport. Imagine the steep and sharp curve just east of US-31 on Hartman. Imagine all the businesses that would pop up along Hammond east of Keystone Road and even west of Cass Road. All would draw more traffic.

Keystone Road is a more obvious choice for the closest “bypass,” as it runs along a rail corridor that is rarely, if ever, used, and it has space for a four-lane highway, with even a center lane for left turns. Connected to Hammond, it would result in half of a bypass solution for traffic heading north and east away from Traverse City. Guess what the Hammond bypass over the river neglects to remind you? What about all the northbound traffic that is heading west?

They are going to take US-31 up to M-22 or M-72, still coming into the city. None of that traffic would go away with a river bridge bypass. That traffic would require a northwest bypass.

Another northeast traffic bypass could be done by improving Vans Lane, which connects to M-113 and goes east to US-131. However it would certainly not be as profitable a route as a Boardman River bridge bypass or Keystone Road improvement. Take a look at Google Maps — it is pretty easy to see other more sensible northeast “bypass routes.”

Jef Mort, Traverse City

Kudos to Smith As a white youth I saw all that [racism and whitewashing of history] right here in Michigan from the 1940s through assuredly not so poignantly as [Northern Express opinion columnist Isiah] Smith’s Georgia.

We don’t get many columns of this sort locally — mostly gay and abortion bashing and who’s seen where. Of course even whites avoided the South until recently, except the Civil Rights’ Freedom Riders and other crusaders. “Constant vigilance” understates the bigotry — and not just from one side.

Genetic anthropology claims only one gene separates melanic skin coloration from Nordic skin coloration.

Mitchell Jon MacKay, East Jordan Gunning for Lemmings More “common sense” gun laws? You blind lemmings, it’s time to take out the rose-colored contacts! Our Founding Fathers made all the gun control laws that our country needed over 250 years ago.

Look at Australia. They took all the guns; chaos reigns. Crime is at an all-time high.

Aussies live in fear of the next gunman. Look at Venezuela. They are violently resisting their socialist Nazi fascist government in favor of democracy, while liberals like you are trying to steal the rights of good people in America because you don’t believe in disciplining your children.

I’m a Veteran. Do not try to assert your lack of morals on me; it will be as futile as Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign for president.

History has proven, time and time again, that immorality and decadence are the last stages of a civilization in decay, with laws upon laws, suppressing the people, until the country crumbles in chaos. Is that what you want? Anarchy? You couldn’t handle it!

The ruling party — communist or socialist, most likely — will ration everything, have curfews, and executions of dissidents like me who want the freedoms given us by the Founding Fathers and the Constitution, who fought and died for rights that you so blindly want to give away. Good American service members have died, and will continue to die, for your right to be an ignorant and blind lemming.

Don’t you get it yet? Gun-free zones only invite trouble. Criminals do not follow the law. Here’s a common sense gun control law: Make it mandatory for schools to hire a Veteran as janitor/ undercover security, and train and arm him/her to protect the children. He/she has already proven his/her fidelity and honor to America. Two birds, one stone.

Hire a vet, protect the children.

What’s more important, your ludicrous agenda, or your children’s lives? Do you get it now, or are you going to wait until it happens in your town, to your children?

Street justice is common sense.

David P. Wittlieff, Fife Lake Way to Represent On my recent visit to Traverse City to attend the film festival, I picked up an issue of Northern Express — the Traverse City Film Festival Issue. On the Letters page, I read a missive by one Keith Lints, which not only packed a bunch of lies about the effect of the number of abortions in the U.S. but also glorified the current hatred in America. I thought, of all the issues to place this letter, your Film Festival issue.

Most likely visitors to the film festival are liberal fans of Michael Moore, enjoying

your city and spending money. Why pick this issue to insult us with this right-wing spin, regurgitating MAGA propaganda?

Lawrence Fabian, Manassas, Virginia Carbon Hysteria Narrative: Sad! A benefit of being educated in geology is reading nature’s stories told in rocks and soil. Equally enjoyable, but in a very different way, is reading the absurd stories told by people. One of the most absurd is the carbon hysteria narrative. To start clear and simple: The predictions fail, and the models don’t work.

The “consensus” is both fake and irrelevant. Most people are easily able, although probably unwilling, to verify for themselves that the 97 percent is wildly incorrect. After spending 2 billion dollars a year trying to prop up a failed hypothesis, the best they came up with to browbeat the public is a fallacy based on a fraud. Sad! Were you told the ice core record clearly shows changes in temperature precede changes in CO2 by 800 years? Did you know the glaciers were already receding just as fast before significant human CO2 contributions?

CO2 alone didn’t indicate a significant problem, so they started piling on feedbacks to get the desired result. They ended up describing an alternate reality so freakishly unstable that the environment and climate as we know it could not possibly exist.

You don’t need a science degree to see though it all. Good common-sense people instantly recognize by behavior that celebrities and politicians promoting the pseudo-science don’t believe it themselves.

Those same good practical folk also recognize the political motives for the lies, and that is a very good thing.

Sorry to be the bearer of good news, but we don’t need to reduce carbon-based fuel use for centuries.

John Dezelski, Lake Ann Protect and Defend?

Trump does not understand what it means to “protect and defend all enemies foreign and domestic” that would harm America. Trump has sold out America to Russia’s Putin. It certainly makes you wonder what Putin has promised or has on Trump. It is common knowledge that Russia hacked into our 2016 election.

Now the country has tried to hack into U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill’s 2018 re-election campaign.

I find it hard to understand why Trump’s base supports what Trump has done to America’s leadership in the world.

He has isolated America from its allies, broken treaties, caused a “trade war” with our neighbors, insulted world leaders, and climbed in bed with Putin, who has eliminated his opponents.

In a representative government, both parties have to compromise in order to get anything done in Congress. When a single political party controls both branches of the government, half of the country is left out.

Enter Trump, who was elected by his base to “stir” things up. Now we’ve got a country isolated from the rest of the world, and a President aiding Putin’s agenda.

top ten TC-to-Charlevoix Trail Boosted

kid swim for gt bay

The inaugural Kids Swim for Grand Traverse Bay will be held on Fri., Aug. 10 at 6pm. Aimed at swimmers ages 12-17, this fun half-mile point-to-point open water swim will go from West End Beach to Volleyball Beach in downtown TC. The Third Annual Swim for Grand Traverse Bay will be held on Sat., Aug. 11, at 8am. Benefitting The Watershed Center, this 2-mile swim begins at Greilickville Harbor Park in Elmwood Township and ends at Volleyball Beach. Info: swimforgtbay.com

A long-held vision to see the creation of a non-motorized trail between Traverse City and Charlevoix got a lot closer to reality with a $2.4 million funding boost from the state.

“This was a significant infusion of energy, of commitment, and of faith in our region’s ability to leverage state investment,” said Julie Clark, TART Trails executive director. “Without this funding, frankly, it could have felt a long way off.”

The money, allocated through the state’s general fund as part of Gov. Rick Snyder’s commitment to growing the state’s trail system, will be used for preliminary planning to get the 46-mile project shovel-ready. The trail is expected to cost $30 million.

The Traverse City-end of the trail will begin at Acme Township’s Bayside Park. Clark said planners are attempting to find the best way to connect that trailhead with the TART Trail’s existing northeast terminus near Bunker Hill Road.

Once all the details are sorted out and the trail is constructed, it would mark a turning point for transportation in northern Michigan, creating 325 miles of connected trail once the TART system merges with the Top of Michigan Trails Council trails.

“That creates a system of national significance and statewide significance,” Clark said.

Hey, read It! my year of rest and relaxation

magine the morning that never had a chance: You spill your coffee in the car, maybe you lost some important papers, or you stubbed your toe really hard on the way to the bathroom. The best way to undo a morning like that?

Easy: a nap. Now imagine turning off from the world and all its inhabitants, yourself included, by sleeping for an entire year. This is the last-ditch effort of the anonymous narrator in Otessa Moshfegh’s latest release, “My Year of Rest and Relaxation.” A July Indie Next List pick at Saturn Booksellers in Gaylord, Moshfegh’s R&R follows an affluent but miserable 24-year-old at the turn of the millenium. As beautiful as she is wealthy, our narrator’s outwardly charmed life is actually plagued by loneliness and social inability, all stemming from the unexpected loss of her parents. So, with the help of her bumbling shrink and a positively dizzying array of prescriptions, she spends a year “sleeping it off.”

But can you really snooze yourself happy? Punctuated by Moshfegh’s iconically sharp prose and noir sense of humor, “My Year of Rest and Relaxation” is a real-world testament to the gravity of “turning it off and turning it back on again.”

Half Ironman Proposed for TC

Start training, challenge lovers — the World Triathlon Corporation and Traverse City Tourism hope to host a half-Ironman next August.

They are seeking permission to hold one of the legendary races on Sunday, Aug. 25, 2019. It would include a 1.2-mile swim in West Grand Traverse Bay, a 56-mile bike ride on Leelanau Peninsula, and a 13.1-mile run on Old Mission Peninsula and could attract as many as 2,400 athletes.

City commissioners are expected to take up the request Monday, Aug. 6. Traverse City would only be the second city in Michigan to host an Ironman 70.3 event; Benton Harbor already hosts one. Traverse City Tourism says the event would have an estimated economic impact of $4.5-$6 million.

The race would require the closure of Clinch Park Marina to water traffic from 5am to 10am on event day, use of the Open Space — which would host spectator, registration, and vendor areas — in the week leading up to the race, and road and trail closures to accommodate competing bikers and runner.

things we love Achieving Fame Through Hoarding Hey, History Channel buffs: Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz — the quirky junk junkies of American Pickers — will roll through our region this September. The guys are on the hunt for sizable, unique collections of forgotten relics and other antique treasures. Got a barn or basement full? Know someone who does?

The Pickers are looking for leads now. Send your name, phone number, location, and description of the collection, plus photos, to: americanpickers@ cineflex.com, or call (855) OLD-RUST.

Swing for Gaylord Grads Barry Owens has a dream: That every kid who graduates from Otsego County Schools receives a scholarship to further his or her education. The Treetops Resort general manager is so serious about making his dream come true, he created an annual Scholarship Scramble at Treetops. Last year, the event’s first, the scramble raised $25,000. Eighteen students received $1,000 scholarships, and the remaining $7,000 went to a community endowment that’ll fund future scholarships. “One of my dreams would be an Otsego County Promise Foundation,” Owens said, alluding to the Kalamazoo Promise, which gives full rides to resident public school graduates who go on to attend any Michigan public college or university.

“I don’t know if, in my lifetime, we would be able to award full scholarships, but being able to provide more regular college assistance would be very cool.”

Owens’ program focuses on students who “fall through the cracks.”

“A lot of times, valedictorians and salutatorians get all the money. They’re great students, and they deserve it, of course. But then what about the people who maybe didn’t choose such an academic route of study, and might like to pursue community college, or a trade career like welding? We want to make sure to include them as well, because all education is powerful.”

Want to be included, too? Students looking to receive a scholarship on behalf of Treetops can apply through the Otsego County Community Foundation. Golfers looking to give those deserving students a boost can sign up to play in the next Scholarship Scramble, scheduled this year for Sept. 5. The $150 entry fee gets you a round on Treetops’ The Masterpiece, a boxed lunch, banquet dinner, eligibility for proxies and prizes — oh, and the ability to say you’re helping Up North kids realize their dreams too.

This race started with a whopping 14 candidates wanting to succeed term-limited Rick Snyder. But only six of them have been even slightly visible in northern Michigan, so we’ll focus on them.

6 • aug 06, 2018 • Northern Express Weekly

Shri Thanedar, the most engaging of the the three Democrats, is a serial entrepreneur, having created multiple business and surviving a couple failures only to succeed again. He advocates free community college for all and a single-payer healthcare system based on expanding Medicare.

Primary election campaigns aren’t intended to appeal to all of us; pandering to the base

The most likely scenario for Democrats is that Al-Sayed and Thanedar will split any anti-Whitmer sentiment.

If either actually wins we’ll know something is afoot.

On the Republican side we have Bill Schuette, Brian Calley, and Jim Hines. The Democrats are offering us Gretchen Whitmer, Abdul ElSayad and Shri Thanedar.

Let’s start with the Republicans.

is mandatory. Republicans all become antigovernment hard asses ready to crack down on something and reform everything. They want to eliminate all those pesky regulations and let corporate America run wild and free like pronghorns in Montana.

Current Attorney General Bill Schuette is the favorite. He has a tough-on-crime reputation, wants to stop illegal immigration and make sure able-bodied Medicaid recipients get a job. He’s decided Jennifer Granholm is to blame for everything, and he loves Donald Trump, who has endorsed him.

Democrats tend to go the other way, promising an expansion of almost every social program. There will be free stuff everywhere and we’ll close corporate tax loopholes and tax the rich to pay for all of it. Various forms of inequality — pay, justice, jobs — will also be fixed by a Democrat.

Lt. Governor Brian Calley wants a constitutional amendment making the legislature part-time. He’s going to create jobs by cutting red tape and is also against illegal immigration and Medicaid fraud and loves President Trump.

These days you have to dig deep to discover what any candidate represents because their public face is a rote recitation of a campaign playbook and their advertising is either an attack piece or nonsense. The quality of these campaigns will do nothing to increase what’s likely to be an embarrassingly low voter turnout.

Dr. Jim Hines, who is not likely to win, has taken the most interesting approach; he’s not Schuette or Calley whom he accuses of being career politicians, which they are. He says he’s going to bring people together to solve problems. He has not, at least in commercials, declared his undying love for Trump.

Republican’s desperate longing for a connection to the president is hardly unique to Michigan, and it’s probably smart politics.

The Trump base is a solid core and it’s not yet clear Republicans can win a statewide primary without it.

The Democrat field is a bit less traditional.

Gretchen Whitmer was the first woman to lead her party in the Michigan Senate. She has the most money, the most endorsements (including organized labor) and the highest name recognition. She’s led in every poll since she officially entered the race. She wants to “fix the damn roads.”

12239 CENTER RD. • 231.938.6120 • CGTWINES.COM/WINEDOWN

he’d like better healthcare and insurance for all and believes he can restore blighted urban areas and the economic grief they cause. He’s been endorsed by Senator Bernie Sanders and would become the first Muslim governor in the country’s history.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a University of Michigan graduate and Rhodes Scholar, was the executive director of the Detroit Health Department when he was just 30. Not surprisingly,

There are a couple of points of interest to which we should pay attention.

First, we’ll discover if there is really an insurgency of Democrats on the Left sufficiently large and energized they can take down an establishment candidate like Gretchen Whitmer.

We have already seen a couple of noteworthy Democrat congressmen and a handful of legislators swept aside by candidates to their left.

We’ve not yet had a real test in a statewide race.

The most likely scenario for Democrats is that Al-Sayed and Thanedar will split any antiWhitmer sentiment. If either actually wins we’ll know something is afoot.

It will also be interesting to see how much the Republican nominee loves the president after the primary. Trump won the state by less than 12,000 votes and his approval rating here continues to hover around 40 percent. If the Mueller investigation digs up real trouble for the president, it will be amusing watching Republicans trying to disentangle themselves from him.

Whatever your preference, vote. If you don’t, the rest of us will be making decisions for you.

Crime & Rescue TWO ELK CRASHES IN FIVE DAYS Cheboygan County Sheriff’s deputies responded to two car-elk crashes in less than a week.

Deputies were called July 31 at 12:24am to I-75 in Mentor Township, where a 61-year-old Indian River man could not avoid a cow elk that entered his lane. The elk struck the front of his 2017 Cadillac ATS, rolled onto the car’s hood and penetrated the windshield, causing minor injuries to the man’s face.

On July 26, a 22-year-old man driving on I-75 crashed when a bull elk stepped into the path of his 2014 Chevrolet Impala. The driver was not injured.

In both cases, the elk were killed by the impact, deputies said.

MAN DISORDERLY IN LAKE LEELANAU A Suttons Bay woman on a visit to her dentist’s office called police after a strange man got into her car and demanded to be driven away.

The 68-year-old woman parked at an office in Lake Leelanau when a man opened her passenger side door and said, “Take me home now.” The woman exited the vehicle, went into the office and called 911, Leelanau County Sheriff’s deputies said.

Deputies arrived at 11am July 27 and found the suspect nearby, in possession of a surgical mask he had taken from the woman’s vehicle. The 35-year-old Williamsburg man was uncooperative with deputies, but he asked to be taken to jail. They took him to jail on charges of disorderly conduct.

TWO DEAD IN CRASH Two young adults were killed when one of them ignored a stop sign, drove through an intersection, and crashed into another vehicle.

The crash claimed the life of 21-year-old Tristan Clay of Lake Ann, who Benzie County Sheriff’s deputies described as at fault in the crash, and 19-year-old Payton Carpenter of Lake Ann, who was in the other vehicle. A 19-year-old passenger in Carpenter’s car survived and was treated for injuries at Munson Medical Center.

The crash occurred at 5pm July 26 in Almira Township at the intersection of Cedar Run and Reynolds roads.

MAN ARRESTED FOR BAT ASSAULT Leelanau County Sheriff’s deputies and tribal police responded to a report of a baseball bat assault.

Police were called to a Leland Township home at 2am July 29 on East Horn Road where a 30-year-old man was being treated by emergency responders. Deputies conducted interviews and determined that the man had been assaulted by another man with a baseball bat.

Police arrested the 22-year-old Suttons Bay man for felonious assault.

POLICE STOP TEEN’S THEFT SPREE A teenager found in possession of a stolen handgun admitted to Manistee Police that he’d been stealing from garages and vehicles for several months.

The 17-year-old, Edward Alan Mousseau, faces charges including breaking and entering, receiving and concealing a stolen handgun and other stolen property, and theft of a financial transaction device.

Police determined that Mousseau had been involved in thefts around Manistee and that in many instances, the thefts were made possible because of unlocked doors.

Mousseau became a suspect July 27, and police want to talk to anyone who has information that could help them in their investigation.

airstrip.

Three people suffered minor injuries in the collision, and they, along with two others who were not injured, were transported off the island to Traverse City following the July 29 incident.

An MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew from U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Traverse City was dispatched after the plane crash was reported the state police.

COUPLE JAILED FOR CREDIT THEFT A man and a woman were arrested after they were ID’d on surveillance video using a stolen credit card.

State police began an investigation July 17 after a victim reported the theft of a wallet from a vehicle. The victim received fraud notifications from their bank after a credit card was used to make several purchases at businesses in Grand Traverse County.

The victim had last used the credit card July 15 at a restaurant in Frankfort and didn’t know it was missing until receiving the fraud notifications, police said.

Police released surveillance video footage of the suspects making a purchase and several days later, after received many tips, investigators identified and arrested the two suspects.

ARMED, DRUNK MAN ARRESTED Grand Traverse County deputies were called to a home in Acme where a 47-year-old man threatened to harm

himself.

When they arrived at 11:30pm July 30, the man was sitting on his porch and said he had a firearm and that he wanted to harm himself. The man also had a drink in his hand.

Deputies were able to talk the man into getting off the porch and away from the firearm; they took possession of what turned out to be a loaded rifle.

The man registered a blood alcohol content of .22. He was arrested for possession of a firearm while intoxicated.

6 BLOCKS EAST OF I-75 IN DOWNTOWN GAYLORD

opinion

bY Barbara Stamiris The Great Lakes are being risked — unnecessarily. University of Michigan studies call the Straits of Mackinac the worst possible place for Line 5, yet it is the No. 1 option for Enbridge because Canadians have said no to pipelines across their own country.

Enbridge is determined to get Canada’s oil to its East Coast markets via the Straits shortcut through Michigan. But there are other, safer options: Pipelines around the lakes, which Enbridge could use to move its oil to Sarnia (albeit less profitably), already exist. And a new propane line from Wisconsin would protect the U.P. from the impact of a Line 5 accident.

In 1953, Michigan granted an easement allowing the construction of Line 5. The benefits to Michigan that once justified Line 5 have drastically diminished as those of its owner have increased. Line 5 was expected to last 50 years; now Enbridge has said it can last “indefinitely.”

In the many required studies of the last two years, the state has asked, “How can we move this oil more safely?” But the July risk analysis, like the others, erroneously assumes a need for Line 5. As the DEQ explains, Snyder seeks “a safer alternative that maintains the important energy and communications infrastructure link between the Upper and Lower Peninsulas.” But a “no pipeline” option has not been thoroughly analyzed or explored.

As a result, we hear about one plan after another for the Straits. The latest is to bury Line 5 in order to protect it from anchor strikes. Enbridge calls this plan Rock Armor but says, “There’s no armor, it’s just rocks, a lot of rocks.” The added stress and difficulty of monitoring a buried pipeline make this proposal inherently unsafe.

Enbridge has such a vested interest in moving oil through Michigan, it can’t be trusted to assess the integrity of Line 5. The company’s track record demonstrates this. Line 5 was intended to lie on the lakebed, but the powerful currents of the Straits have, over the decades, eroded the lakebed below the pipeline. The anchor supports put in place to remediate this problem have themselves caused new problems by scraping away safety

A spill from Line 5 is estimated to cause from $2 to $6 billion in damages to Michigan’s economy. Enbridge spent over $1 billion to clean up 30 miles of a Kalamazoo River when line 6b ruptured in 2010, yet it has less insurance for a Line 5 spill that would affect up to 700 miles of shoreline. Who bears the risk? Michigan taxpayers.

Michigan uses about 5 percent of the oil passing through our Straits. There is simply no need to risk the Great Lakes.

PASTA

state and issued just four months earlier, had ranked anchor strikes as the No. 1 threat to the pipeline. But rather than taking proactive steps to protect Great Lakes waters, Michigan and Enbridge are suing the tugboat owners.

The other plan is to build a tunnel. Governor Snyder overrode his own Pipeline Safety Advisory Board when he made a private plan with Enbridge for a tunnel to keep Line 5 going. The PSAB voted to shut down the pipeline until safety issues were addressed. We can’t risk the seven more years Enbridge says it will take to build a tunnel. And why should Michigan approve a tunnel for Canada?

In April, 600 gallons of toxic fluid spilled into the Straits when electrical cables were struck by a tugboat anchor. Line 5, which was dented, carries about a million gallons of oil through the Straits each hour. A spring blizzard prevented immediate remedial action, like winter does, so this was a wake up call. In the absence of state action, the federal Pipeline Safety Administration stepped in to restrict the flow of oil due to Line 5 damage.

The Risk Analysis Report, ordered by the

coatings when currents cause the pipeline to rub against them. Enbridge withheld their knowledge of this damage. Yet today they are seeking approval to install 48 more anchor supports without the required environmental overview for such design changes. This piecemeal approach is intended to keep the pipeline operating by avoiding overall independent assessment by today’s standards.

A spill from Line 5 is estimated to cause from $2 to $6 billion in damages to Michigan’s economy. Enbridge spent over $1 billion to clean up 30 miles of a Kalamazoo River when line 6b ruptured in 2010, yet it has less insurance for a Line 5 spill that would affect up to 700 miles of shoreline. Who bears the risk? Michigan taxpayers. When repairing Line 6b, Enbridge decided to double its capacity. If a tunnel is built in the Straits, a similar expansion of Line 5 is likely, as seen on the Enbridge website.

Michigan has not only the authority but also the obligation to shut down Line 5 for Enbridge’s failure to maintain and operate it prudently. Revoking the easement would fulfill the state’s legal obligation to protect public trust resources, like Great Lakes water.

In November, Michigan will have a chance to elect leaders who have vowed to shut down Line 5. Governor Snyder has said the fate of Line 5 will be decided by October.

But the governor or attorney general could and should stop the flow of oil at once and begin to decommission Line 5 now. They are charged with protecting the waters of the Great Lakes — not the bottom line of a Canadian corporation.

To paraphrase an old saying about planting trees: The best time to shut down Line 5 was 20 years ago, the second best time is now.

Barbara Stamiris is a retired educator and longtime environmental activist. She was an intervenor in federal hearings regarding the Midland nuclear plant. In 1983 she testified before Congress about safety issues at the Midland plant, which never opened. She now devotes her time to safety issues regarding the Line 5 pipeline.

Recent Alarming Headline Infamous South Beach street artist Jonathan Crenshaw, 46, attracts a lot of attention in Miami among tourists, who watch him paint on a canvas -- using his feet. Crenshaw does not have arms and is homeless. Profiled in a local newspaper in 2011, Crenshaw told of a difficult childhood (he also claimed Gloria Estefan had given birth to 200 of his children). He landed in the headlines again after stabbing a Chicago man with a pair of scissors on July 10. According to the Miami Herald, Cesar Coronado, 22, told police he had approached Crenshaw to ask for directions, when Crenshaw jumped up and, using his feet, stabbed Coronado.

Crenshaw’s story is that as he lay on the pavement, Coronado punched him in the head -- so he stabbed him, tucked the scissors into his waistband and walked away.

Police found Crenshaw, who has a lengthy arrest record, nearby and arrested him.

Bold Move Faith Pugh of Memphis, Tennessee, had a date to remember on July 14 with Kelton Griffin. Her casual acquaintance from high school “just out of the blue texted me and asked me to go out,” Pugh told WREGTV. They took her car and stopped at a gas station, where Griffin asked Pugh to go inside and buy him a cigar. But while she was inside, “He drove off. I came outside and my car was gone,” Pugh said. Shortly, Pugh received a text from her godsister, telling her Griffin had just asked her out on a date. He picked up the godsister in Pugh’s car and headed to a drivein movie. “He didn’t even have any money,” Pugh said. “She actually paid their way to get in the drive-in just so I could get my car back.”

Pugh alerted the police to the car’s location, and they arrested Griffin for theft of property.

“I hope he’s in jail for a long time,” Pugh said.

Mystery Solved On Jan. 25, 71-year-old Alan J. Abrahamson of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, went for his regular pre-dawn walk to Starbucks. What happened on the way stumped police investigators until March, reported The Washington Post, and on July 13 they made their findings public. Images from a surveillance camera show Abrahamson walking out of his community at 5:35 a.m. and about a half-hour later, the sound of a gunshot is heard. Just before 7 a.m., a dog found Abrahamson’s body, lying near a walking path. Police found no weapon, no signs of a struggle; he still had his wallet and phone. Investigators initially worked the case as a homicide, but as they dug deeper into the man’s computer searches and purchases over the past nine years, a theory developed: Abrahamson had tied a gun to a weather balloon filled with helium, shot himself, and then the gun drifted away to parts unknown. A thin line of blood on Abrahamson’s sweatshirt indicated to police that “something with the approximate width of a string passed through the blood on the outside of the shirt,” the final report says. As for the balloon, investigators said it would likely have ascended to about 100,000 feet and exploded somewhere north of the Bahamas in the Atlantic Ocean.

Bright Idea It’s time once again for minor league baseball promotion fun and games! This

time, however, the Montgomery (Alabama) Biscuits managed to tick off a whole generation of baseball fans. The Biscuits announced Millennial Night on July 21, featuring participation ribbons just for showing up, a napping area, selfie stations and lots of avocados, reported Fox News.

While some Twitter users thought the promotion was insensitive, others were more philosophical. Dallas Godshall, 21, said, “More than targeting millennials, it’s sort of targeting older generations who like to make fun of millennials.” Pitcher Benton Ross weighed in: “If it’s insensitive, maybe they should just have thicker skin.”

Revenge, Texas-Style The Austin American-Statesman reported that on June 17, RV park neighbors and longtime adversaries Ryan Felton Sauter, 39, and Keith Monroe got into a heated dispute about an undisclosed subject. Later that day, Monroe saw Sauter leaving Monroe’s RV and asked him why he had gone in without permission, to which Sauter replied, “You’ll see why.” Going inside, Monroe soon spotted a 3-foot-long rattlesnake. “I freaked out,” he said. He used a machete to kill the snake, which strangely was missing its rattles. Turns out Sauter had bitten off the snake’s tail, with its signature warning sound. Sauter has been charged with deadly conduct and criminal trespass.

People and Their Pets Tina Ballard, 56, of Okeechobee County, Florida, was arrested in North Carolina by Linville Land Harbor police on July 16 after fleeing there to “hide (her pet) monkey so that state officials could not take that monkey from her,” assistant state attorney Ashley Albright told WPBF News. Ballard’s troubles began in May, when the spider monkey, Spanky, jumped out of a shopping cart in an Okeechobee Home Depot and grabbed a cashier’s shirt, “leaving red marks on the cashier’s shoulder and back.” In June, Fox News reported, another Home Depot employee spotted Spanky in the parking lot, having escaped Ballard’s truck and dragging a leash. Spanky was spooked by the store’s sliding doors and bit the employee on the arm, grabbing her hair and running away.

The employee gave chase and eventually caught Spanky, but not before suffering more bites and scratches. Spanky was in the car when Ballard was arrested and extradited back to Florida; the monkey will be placed in a primate sanctuary.

People Different From Us A Russian man who has covered more than 90 percent of his body -- including his eyeballs -- with black-ink tattoos underwent surgery on July 14 at Jardines Hospital in Guadalajara, Mexico, to remove his penis, testicles and nipples because they spoiled his body art. Adam Curlykale, 32, of Kaliningrad, an albino, was diagnosed with cancer and started the tattooing process 12 years ago to cover scars left behind from the disease. “I always knew that I was different from the rest of society,” Curlykale told The Daily Mail. “My favorite color, for example, has always been gray, in different tones, and that’s why my current skin color is graphite.”

He plans to finish the process by inking his remaining un-tattooed skin.

A North Manitou Mystery There’s a small cottage on North Manitou that some experts believe was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Others are not so sure.

By Patrick Sullivan In his book “The Frank Lloyd Wright Field Guide,” architect Tom Heinz lists a cottage on North Manitou Island among the legendary architect’s creations.

The listing doesn’t go into detail about the evidence that led Heinz to this conclusion.

The single paragraph mentions an 1894 notice about the construction of a Frank Lloyd Wright cottage on the Lake Michigan island and includes this description: “The building was clearly designed by an architect while the others [on the island] were at best constructed by a carpenter.”

The cottage is in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, and on the official National Park Service website, the cottage is also listed as a Frank Lloyd Wright design. Park historical architect Kimberly Mann believes there is a lot of evidence it is a Wright, but that the definitive proof has yet to be discovered.

There is not, however, a consensus among Wright scholars that the architect is responsible for the building. William Allin Storrer, author of the “The Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright: The Complete Catalog,” is adamant that there is no good evidence to connect the architect with the work.

“That’s nonsense, total nonsense,” said Storrer, who by coincidence lives in Traverse City. He added, referring to Heintz: “There’s a guy who likes to do anything he can to annoy me and made that claim.”

“THERE’S NO EVIDENCE” Currently, the organization considered to

be the final word on Frank Lloyd Wright, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, sides with Storrer, who has spent decades working with the foundation. It doesn’t list the structure — alternately known as the Blossom Cottage, the Boardman Cottage, or the Monte Carlo — as one of Wright’s works.

“We have not listed the Blossom Cottage among Frank Lloyd Wright’s work as we have seen no documentation to suggest his involvement. George Blossom was a Chicago

He was surprised to learn the National Park Service names Wright in a description of the cottage on a webpage. He said that years ago, a person he knew at the park service who oversaw such things “would have screamed bloody hell” about that.

“There’s no evidence,” Storrer said. “There’s no plan of it in the foundation’s files.”

Moreover, if the building was a Wright building, Storrer said it would have featured hardware purchased from a Chicago store

“When you enter, the ceilings are low, the overhangs and stuff, the soffits are low, and then you walk into it, and it’s high,” she said. “That was a characteristic of his, if you tour any of his houses, that’s one that you find in this structure as well. There’s also the overhanging roof and the center hearth.” client of Wright’s, and their other projects together are well documented,” Jeff Goodman, director of marketing and communication, said in an email. “Given this, it is unlikely there would have been an undocumented project for Blossom. While there has been no evidence to support that this is a Wright building to-date, we would welcome seeing new documentation.”

Storrer, who is 82 and retired but working on a book about Frank Lloyd Wright works in Michigan, said the Wright claim is based on conjecture and guesswork. He said he believes if Wright had designed the building, there would be architectural plans of it somewhere.

10 • aug 06, 2018 • Northern Express Weekly

which Wright used for all of his projects.

Also, there is no mention of the cottage in Wright’s correspondence, which is all collected by the foundation.

“That’s another thing that could be researched, very easily, because all of the correspondence is available for searching,” he said.

Storrer, who is not an architect, once visited Cottage Row on North Manitou. He didn’t spend time examining the Blossom Cottage, however. He said he was told that it was another one of the cottages that was suspected, and he looked at that one.

3 OUT OF 4 EXPERTS AGREE But Heinz, Mann, and an architect hired

by Preserve Historic Sleeping Bear to prepare a report for the park service about the North Manitou cottage believe there is plenty of evidence pointing to Wright’s involvement.

Heinz said that he discovered the structure in a roundabout way. The Chicago-based writer was paging through “Frank Lloyd Wright to 1910 – The First Golden Age,” published in 1958 by author Grant Carpenter Manson, when he noticed that the edition contained an enormous bibliography.

“He had a huge bibliography in the back of it and I think, ‘Gee, I wonder if anybody’s ever looked at this?’” recalled Heinz, who has made a career of searching out what he believes are lost works by America’s most famous architect.

The bibliography led Heinz to a 19th Century architectural trade magazine, which led him to North Manitou Island in search of the architect. In the March 1894 edition of the Inland Architecture New Record, a single paragraph announces that a cottage for George W. Blossom was to be built “on Manitou by Frank Lloyd Wright.” The announcement also mentioned a home in Chicago that Frank Lloyd Wright built for Blossom. That building was documented and has long been attributed to Wright, but the North Manitou structure had somehow been lost.

“It was not listed anywhere, and I decided I need to go up and see it,” Heinz said. “It’s like finding a lost treasure.”

When he set off, he had no idea what the building might look like or which building he was supposed to look at. At first, he didn’t

know whether to look on North or South Manitou, but when he arrived at Cottage Row, a strip of turn-of-the-century structures overlooking the dock on the east side of the island, he said there was little question in his mind which one of them he was looking for.

The Blossom Cottage was not like the other cottages. There was something special about it.

“It was just a gut feeling, really,” he said.

“But my gut has been pretty accurate.”

“THESE ARE BUILT BY CARPENTERS” Heinz was not the first scholar to appear on the island looking for a Frank Lloyd Wright structure. Storrer had come years earlier, before Mann signed on as historical architect for the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in 1991.

Mann said she doesn’t know a lot about that expedition, but she said that she understands that Storrer and whoever hosted him suspected the wrong cottage and, as a result, the theory that there was a Frank Lloyd Wright structure on North Manitou didn’t gain any traction.

“They looked at the wrong structures,” Mann said. “There’s this whole series of structures, and somehow they looked at the wrong one. When I got here and was reviewing a lot of the paperwork, I had a sneaking suspicion [the Frank Lloyd Wright cottage] was the house that was known by the park as Monte Carlo.”

Then, sometime in the 1990s, Mann recalls hearing from Heinz, who wanted to come up and take a look for himself.

Wright would have been 26 at the time the cottage was constructed; around that time, he worked for a prominent architectural firm in Chicago but was at odds with his employer because he frequently worked for other clients on the side.

When Heinz arrived on the island that summer, Mann said she didn’t say anything to him about her suspicions about which one was the Wright cottage. She wanted to know whether he would come to the same conclusion she did.

“He contacted me, and he thought it was a structure on South Manitou Island, and I said, ‘No, but I think it’s a structure on North,’” Mann said. “So he made a trip to the park and went out to the island. I was out there, and I didn’t share any information. I just kind of let him look through the structures.”

Mann said Heinz was immediately drawn to the cottage she suspected.

“The first one that we went into was this one that we now refer to as the Boardman [aka Blossom] Cottage. And he spent probably a half an hour looking around. And he said, ’Well, let’s go look at some of the other cottages,’” she said. “And we go into those and he probably spent like 30 seconds and he said, ‘No, these are built by carpenters. This is not a structure that was built by an architect.’”

A LOT OF CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE Once he’d looked at each one of them, Heinz

returned to the Boardman/Blossom Cottage and that’s where he spent most of his day.

“He came back and spent hours measuring and taking a look at this particular structure,” Mann said. “And I didn’t say anything at all, and then he finally found me again on the island and said, ‘I think this is the one.’ … he said there was enough circumstantial evidence for him to put it in his book.”

While Heintz indeed included the North Manitou cottage in his book, Mann said she is reluctant to definitively call it a Wright structure, because no plans or correspondence have been discovered.

“We don’t have the smoking gun yet,” Mann said. “There’s a lot of circumstantial evidence, but we can’t find anything with his signature on it. More than likely, the evidence is out there someplace, but it’s not in the usual place.”

She said there is a lot of reason to believe it is a Wright.

“This is work that was done way before he started doing Prairie style, but it still has some of those elements, I mean the long grooves and the hearth in the center of the house,” she said. “The doors are, like, four feet wide. When you think about 1894, that’s kind of unusual.”

The doors and the open, airy spaces are features not found on typical cottages of that era. The bolding also has a silhouette that is strikingly similar to Wright’s Winslow House, a home in River Forest, Illinois, that he designed that same year.

Mann said there is also an artistry to the overall structure, a way the building plays with space and light.

“When you enter, the ceilings are low, the overhangs and stuff, the soffits are low, and then you walk into it, and it’s high,” she said.

“That was a characteristic of his, if you tour any of his houses, that’s one that you find in this structure as well. There’s also the overhanging roof and the center hearth.”

Even after a prominent Wright scholar included the Blossom Cottage in a book listing Wright’s work, nothing in particular happened to the structure.

“We just made sure we kept a good roof on it and kept the animals out and pretty much went on and worked on other projects that had funding and more priority,” Mann said. “We just made sure that this one was still standing.”

Preserve Historic Sleeping Beard decided to fund a “historic structure report” about the cottage, a draft of which was completed in 2017.

While the report makes no definitive conclusion, it marks a step toward restoring the structure to its original state. Through the middle of the 20th Century, the building had been remodeled and bedrooms added. Mann said Sleeping Bear has applied for and should receive funding to restore the cottage to its original condition next summer.

“For us, it’s something we’re going to continue to maintain and repair, and my goal is to return it back. It had a lot of modifications that were done to it to make more rooms,” she said. “For me, I want to take this back to 1894.”

A GREAT PLACE FOR BACKPACKERS Eventually, Mann said the building could be open to the public. It would make a nice place for backpackers to wait for the ferry, she said. The park service could install an exhibit about the historical significance of the house and explain the evidence that Frank Lloyd Wright might have designed it.

“It’s mostly porch, so it would be a great place for backpackers to put their stuff down,” she said. “And it’s high on that ridge, so you can look out at the dock and out over Lake Michigan, so it’s a good place for you to watch the boat come from the mainland.”

The Leelanau County Historical Society has an annual daytrip that visits North and South Manitou, a rare chance to see North without a camping overnight. This year’s excursion is planned for Sept. 10.

On North Manitou, the tour will feature the Blossom Cottage as part of its tour of Cottage Row, said Kim Kelderhouse, curator of collections. She said that if the Blossom Cottage is officially declared a Frank Lloyd Wright, and if it’s restored to its original condition, she doesn’t know how much that will change things, because North Manitou will remain remote and hard to reach.

“It’s hard to say — the way the ferry service works right now, if it did become an attraction, it would only be accessible to people capable of backpacking,” she said. “I know there’s a huge amount of tourism centered around his other homes, so I imagine if it could be proved, and the credible experts were to acknowledge it, I think it could become an attraction to those dedicated people who want to visit homes that he designed.”

When is it ok to refuse someone service?

Bill’s statement In the Disney football film Remember the Titans, Sunshine, Petey, and Blue enter a restaurant after a big win.

Though the restaurant is half empty, the owner refuses to serve them. “This is my establishment,” he says. “I reserve the right to refuse service to anybody. Yeah, that means you, too, hippie boy. Now, y’all want somethin’ to eat, you can take these boys out back and pick it up from the kitchen.”

Rev. Dr. William C. Myers Why were they refused service? Were they shirtless?

Senior Pastor No. Were they barefoot? No. Sunshine didn’t even have at Presbyterian long hair anymore! Why were they refused service? Their Church of appearance! Blue and Petey are black. Even with short Traverse City hair, Sunshine looks like a hippie.

Contrary to what those emboldened by the rising tide of white supremacy might say, race and culture are never acceptable reasons to deny a person service.

But are there other circumstances, when it might be morally or legally acceptable to refuse someone service? Yes. The Supreme Court decision in favor of A LOCAL PASTOR the Colorado baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a same-gendered couple, is one example. As a Christian, I disagree with the baker’s decision. Jesus would have baked the cake and enjoyed the wedding. However, the Supreme Court made the right decision. The baker’s religious freedom is protected by our Constitution.

With qualification, the recent examples of denying service to elected and appointed officials as an act of public shaming, are another example. Here, the act(s) for which the politicians are being shamed must be morally egregious.

One’s party affiliation doesn’t warrant shaming. In addition, as in all cases of civil disobedience, the proprietor must be willing to accept the consequences.

While refusing service to someone is acceptable in certain situations, we must remember the purpose of such actions should be restoration to the community. “ … if anyone is detected in a transgression, you who have received the Spirit should restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness.” (Galatians 6:1)

Scott’s statement Legally, a restaurateur or a baker can decline to serve or employ anyone for any reason, or for no reason, with one important exception: They cannot refuse based on a person’s status as part of a “protected class,” which usually includes gender, race, religion, and sexual orientation. The restauranteur who declined to serve Sara Huckabee Sanders was within her legal rights. The gay-wedding-averse bakers of Scott Blair cakes, well, that became a legal question involving a possible Blair is a conexception to the exception. A recent narrow Supreme Court sultant in the decision has not fully resolved it, but the law is a process wastewater treatfor drawing those lines, and I am willing to let that process ment field and work. president of the Beyond the legal angle, there is the question of what is Grand Traverse Humanists. right and best. My opinion is that we should serve one another. This is how I hope my community will behave: Bake the cake. Bring Mrs. Sanders her dinner. I saw liberal social media posts in the wake of the Sara Sanders restaurant incident justifying abandonment of standards of civility in response to their being abandoned by the ATHEIST DEBATE other side. The path this sets up for us is downward-spiraling.

Sure, sometimes it’s constructive to compromise standards in pursuit of a broader goal — we might retreat in a negotiation to an acceptable middle ground, or support a second choice after our favorite candidate loses the primary. If, however, we find ourselves walking back on principles simply to feed our anger, we should reassess. It is better to understand and manage passions — ours and our adversary’s — so we can plan the most effective action possible. Our own principled behavior needn’t be contingent on that of others. Sometimes treachery is so plain that incivility seems justified, but even then, is it effective, or does it just stoke a natural but unhelpful compulsion toward moral symmetry? I think instances where it is effective to meet incivility with incivility are much rarer than our passions would suggest.

Commitment to civility helps protect the functionality of public processes, resisting the spiral into anger and retaliation.

CROSSED

Scott’s reply Indeed, party affiliation does not warrant refusal of service. In the case of Ms. Sanders, I think the objection ran deeper than party affiliation, but I doubt that turning her out of the restaurant was intended to restore her to the community. I suspect the restaurant staff seized the opportunity, which chance offered them, to show their outrage at what Ms. Sanders represents and defends.

(There she was, right in their restaurant!) But what is the result? While the Left takes pleasure in snubbing a reviled opponent, the right points to it as evidence that liberals are hateful and uncivil. Whose cause is advanced? As we express the values and positions of our own side, shouldn’t we also live by and demonstrate the principles we want everyone to honor?

AND A LOCAL

Bills’s reply My disagreements with Scott on this question are a matter of degree. I’m not sure I would describe a 7-2 vote on a Supreme Court decision as “ arrow.” Albeit the scope of the judgment as precedent is limited (i.e., narrow), the margin of victory isn’t. The court clearly defended the baker’s First Amendment rights. I endorse Scott’s commitment to service and civility, although I would support the proprietor who refused to serve Ms. Sanders, as well. She did so respectfully and was willing to accept the consequences. Like Scott, I’m concerned with incivility on both sides of the aisle. However, I also appreciate the transformative power of civil disobedience. As Jesus and, later, Dr. King knew, maintaining civility and showing grace is what makes the disobedience restorative.

Agree statement Scott and Bill agree protests, even civil disobedience, can be an important part of cultural transformation. Such events should have the expressed purpose of seeking a community’s greater good. Commitment to civility and attention to impact keeps them constructive; succumbing to outrage and impulse toward retaliation makes them quarrelsome.

Made in Michigan:

Blunt Swimwear

By Jillian Manning

Do you know where your swimsuit was made? If you check the label, you’re likely to find China, Vietnam, or Sri Lanka listed on the tag. You probably won’t see “Made in Michigan” or even “Made in America.”

Unless you’ve been shopping at Blunt Swimwear.

“Swimwear and active lifestyle brand choices in northern Michigan can be limited,” said Erika Cotner, owner and founder of Blunt. “I wanted to make an honest, affordable, and easy way to purchase swimwear locally, so people can trust our brand.”

Cotner is a Brighton, Michigan, native who spent weekends Up North as a kid. She says those summers helped her become the adventurous person she is today and led to her love of surfing, hiking, and beach volleyball. Her adventures took her to Colorado post graduation, with plans of becoming a professional snowboarder, at least until the waters of Traverse City called her back to her home state six years ago.

But Cotner couldn’t find the bathing suit that worked for her active lifestyle in TC. “That led me to buying bikinis online, which usually led to disappointment when they would show up from China — in a black, toxic-smelling bag — two months later,” she said. Sizing was an issue, as were returns and the overall quality of the products.

So Cotner, who has a background in marketing, decided to create her own brand, and Blunt Swimwear was born.

“The name ‘Blunt’ could have a few different interpretations,” Cotner said knowingly when asked about the meaning of the brand’s moniker. “But the inspiration came from being bold and being blunt as an attitude and way of life.”

When Blunt Swimwear officially

14 • aug 06, 2018 • Northern Express Weekly

launched in June, it debuted with a signature, black two-piece suit. The triangle top will look familiar to most swimsuit shoppers, though the bottoms have a bit more edge and a bit less fabric than the styles you’re used to seeing on a TC beach.

“The cheeky designs are trending everywhere else around the world right now, but we up here in northern Michigan are a little behind the times,” Cotner said.

Cotner sources her fabric from California, where she gets what she calls “the highest quality bikini fabric that is made in America. It is soft, fits perfectly, and is durable.” The bikini is designed by Cotner and manufactured in Michigan.

Quality over quantity has been her motto from the start. Although Cotner has plans to expand the line, she is prioritizing keeping her materials locally sourced and her prices low. Handcrafted products often mean bankbreaking prices, but a Blunt suit retails for a reasonable $44 ($22 for each piece), which is on par with most women’s swimwear lines.

“To be local and affordable is important to me,” said Cotner. “Finding a U.S. manufacturing company was extremely difficult and took a lot of time initially, but I stumbled upon a manufacturer right here in Michigan. The future of Blunt involves more styles and colors as long as I can continue to get them locally sourced.”

Her dedication appears to be paying off.

The company is still in its fledgling stage at this point, but Cotner says reception to her design has been positive.

“So far the suits have been extremely well received,” she said. “I am fortunate, delighted, nervous, and surprised all rolled into one. My first sale was from Instagram the same day I put up some new pictures from our last Sleeping Bear dunes photo shoot. Social media is such a major platform for us and helped us get featured recently in

Swimsuit International.”

Because the company is based online (www.Blunt-Swimwear.com), Cotner knew being web and social media savvy would be make or break her startup. But she doesn’t try to do everything alone.

“I fully believe in supporting the local economy, so I have a [local] team who helps me with my PR, website, photography, advertising, and more,” Cotner explained.

“I try to do everything locally that involves spending money for the business. And I’ve gotten pretty lucky that I have some insanely gorgeous friends who have been extremely supportive in modeling so far!”

With a little over a month on the books at the time of publication, Cotner is optimistic about the future of Blunt Swimwear in the northern Michigan community.

“I go through lots of swimsuits, and trust me, I know how hard it is to find a good bikini,” she said. “I truly believe with all the water we have, there is huge potential to compete in this kind of market.”

Underground Fashion Designer Michael Wahlstrom has worked with major brands and department stores.

But now it’s his own label, handcrafted in a basement studio in Traverse City, that buyers want

By Ross Boissoneau In a basement setting just off Front Street, Michael Wahlstrom is creating an identity. Not a secret one, but one for those who want to feel Superior — with a capital S. His company’s name, Gitche Gumee, is derived from the Native American name for Lake Superior, and he stitches five Xs representing the Great Lakes on nearly everything he makes — with one X larger than the others, as Lake Superior is the greatest of the Great Lakes.

“It’s been an evolution. The idea shifts and pivots,” Wahlstrom said. His desire to create a lifestyle brand that reflected Michigan but wasn’t obvious led him to the concept. That concept includes handcrafted shirts, blouses, wallets, caps and bags made from various materials — all of which are made by Wahlstrom from his own designs.

That’s right, each product is handmade in his shop, which doubles as his retail outlet. But you have to seek it to find it, as the address is Front Street, but the entrance is actually off Boardman, tucked behind The Coin Slot and across the street from Coldwell Banker Schmidt Realtors, downstairs.

Once you find your way there, you discover a working studio and style showcase.

Black block walls highlight colorful bags crafted of soft, buttery leather. Comfy cropped tops and parody Ts are fashionable and whimsical. Leather card holders, belts, key rings, even luggage convey Wahlsrom’s

sense of style.

Of course, you don’t have to go there to buy there. Most of Gitche Gumee’s sales come via his website, GitcheGumee.co.

(Note: Not “.com”) Still, it’s not the same as seeing the merchandise cleverly displayed, the piles of leather and fabric under and around the multiple sewing machines, or seeing Wahlstrom at work.

He was bitten by the fashion bug early.

His first year of college, he was recruited to work for Abercrombie & Fitch. He worked his way up to store manager, and the store was a guinea pig of sorts, where the company debuted items and styles it was considering for general distribution.

While he enjoyed the work, Wahlstrom was more intrigued by what was going on behind the scenes. So after investigating which school could best provide him such opportunities, he enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, graduating from there and then working with Macy’s. “I was in fashion merchandise management, as a buyer and in wholesale,” he said.

But Wahlstrom still wasn’t satisfied. He realized he’d been involved in virtually every facet of the fashion industry except creation and construction. So he completed the professional Industrial Sewing Certificate program at Henry Ford’s M-Tech college, graduating in fall 2016. He officially launched The Gitche Gumee Company November 10, 2016, which he points out is the anniversary

of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior.

The venture is largely a one-man operation. Wahlstrom cuts, sews, creates, markets, and displays his wares himself, though he does have some part-time help, which goes full-time during the holidays.

Gitche Gumee is open seven days a week, 10am–7pm Monday through Saturday, and Sunday from 11am–3pm. Most of the time that’s where you’ll find Wahlstrom.

Currently he is displaying his Matriarch Collection, with new designs to come for fall and winter.

ERN CREPES

From Annie, With Love (and wit and sarcasm and a few well-placed profanities)

ANNIE SPENCE’S LATE-SUMMER READING LIST

Summertime, and the reading is easy. But maybe not so much for Annie Spence. The librarian, author, and all-around book fiend is worried about this summer. Specifically, that it is nearing the end. That’s a problem for her “because I’ve got so many books to read,” she said.

Maybe you do too. Or maybe you don’t. But either way, Spence, a guest of honor at the Aug. 9 National Writer Series Summer Social (see sidebar below), has prepared a list of summer reads that you really should look into before August rolls into September.

Farewell Summer by Ray Bradbury (SF) This was the last novel published during literary giant Ray Bradbury’s lifetime. It is both a paean to his own childhood in Waukegan, Illinois, and the completion of a trilogy including “Dandelion Wine” and “Something Wicked This Way Comes.”

“Ray Bradbury’s ‘Dandelion Wine’ is one of my favorite books, and this title, in a sense, picks up where it left off, only with more of a sci-fi twist. Summer is literally never-ending in this novel, and the young are in a war against the old to stop time and stop from growing up.”

The Way You Make Me Feel by Maurene Goo (Young Adult) This is described as “a laugh-out-loud story of love, new friendships, and one unique food truck.” Huh? Spence thinks it all makes sense, and it’s one of her new favorites.

“This smart and sassy new teen novel features Clara, who is forced to work her father’s food truck for the summer instead of vacationing with her mom when a high school prank goes awry.”

Former northern Michigan librarian writes to the books she loves and loathes, and we’re all the better for it.

By Ross Boissoneau “I did not want to be a librarian. I wanted to be a writer.” So said Annie Spence.

Funny how life works. The onetime librarian at the Traverse Area District Library now fills the same role downstate. But, yes, she’s also a writer. A published writer, writing about — wait for it — library books.

The author of “Dear Farenheit 451” believes in the power of books. Just not all of them, and not all the time. In her book, subtitled “Love and Heartbreak in the Stacks: A Librarian’s Love Letters and Breakup Notes to the Books in Her Life,” she writes about — and to — books from across the literary spectrum.

An example: “If you passed “The Martian” by because it looked too fantasy, or too sciencey, or too Matt Damony, you missed out on a book that is truly entertaining and informative, and also you skipped book club out of guilt, and they probably talked about you behind your back.”

She writes about one book leading to another, to another, starting in this case with “The Virgin Suicides” and leading to “Jonestown and Scientology.”

“And if, after all that, you’re hankering for another novel about teen boys longing for distracted and disturbed teen girls, it’s probably about time you read ‘The Virgin Suicides’ again.

Except this time when someone asks you if you like it, you can say, ‘Yes, and now I know all about the Peoples Temple and kielbasa and John Travolta and the Nazis.’”

It’s not like Spence suddenly decided to write after a lifetime of longing to do so. “I always wrote. Since maybe fourth grade,” she said. Her writings meandered from early short stories to an as-yet unpublished young adult novel to a blog she started at TADL. “I asked if I could start a blog where I recommend books and talk about library services.”

But when the librarian contacted an agent about an author, said agent said she liked

Spence’s blog and asked if she had a book idea.

Why yes, as a matter of fact. “It fell in my lap,” said Spence with a laugh. “I’d written breakup letters to books since I’d become a librarian just to amuse myself. She [the agent] liked that so we ran with it.”

The book provides several takeaways. One is the Spence reads and has read a lot. A LOT. And she appears to have no constraints or preferences, which is great for a librarian. Like her approach to reading, her book cuts across all genres and styles. She also has a wicked sense of humor. And she likes to swear.

The reaction from readers and critics has been hugely positive.

• “Perfect for any bibliophile and terrifically funny.” —Library Journal • “The truest testament to the quality of ‘Dear Fahrenheit 451’ … is that my enjoyment of it was, in the end, great enough to outweigh my fury that someone other than me had written it.” — NPR • “A collection of one public librarian and book lover’s snarky, relatable, and hilarious (like really, really, laugh-out-loud hilarious) letters to the books she has loved (and hated, and passed on) throughout her life.” — Bustle “I’ve had a great reaction from readers,” said Spence. “A lot say they wished they’d thought of it.

Women snorting while reading, annoying their husbands.” Though it’s not quite been universally positive. “I’ve gotten some blowback about the cursing — from my mother, and other readers.”

Among the tidbits are recommendations against some books: “Wicked was a great idea and a great Broadway show but I couldn’t get into it. I respect Hemingway, but I’ve never really gotten into him because I know how much of a chauvinist he was. I listened to an audio book, a novel by a British writer, who had the accents down perfect except for the two Americans in the book who sounded like surfers.”

And the worst book she ever read? “‘The Born Again Virgin.’ It’s about how to snag a man with money and prestige. Most of my Top 10 Worst Books are self-help.”

Fortune’s Rocks by Anita Shreve (Fiction) The last novel by this fiction-writing favorite transports readers to the turn of the 20th century and the world of a prominent Boston family summering on the New Hampshire coast.

“Historical fiction. A beach in New Hampshire. Forbidden affairs.

Broken dreams. I think that Shreve, who died earlier this year, wrote novels that were paced for beach reading, but that you can also sink your teeth into. It’s in between fun and literary fiction — it goes fast but it’s an intelligent read.”

Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen (Bio) The Boss’s bio, written by Springsteen himself. Honest and insightful, the publisher calls it “a book for workers and dreamers, parents and children, lovers and loners, artists, freaks, or anyone who has ever wanted to be baptized in the holy river of rock and roll.” A bit much?

Perhaps, but Spence agrees.

“Some celebrity memoirs and biographies are salacious but not well-written. This one is well-written. I was underlining passages in The Boss’s life story. His lyrical, working-class voice takes you into his world. And he doesn’t hide from the scary or vulnerable parts.”

This One Summer by Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki (Graphic Novel) A classic summertime read in its brevity, but a prizewinner too: It’s a New York Times bestseller, a 2015 Caldecott Honor Book, a 2015 Michael L. Printz Honor Book, and an Eisner Award Winner.

“This is a dreamy graphic novel, a nostalgic look back at the summer two friends came of age. It’s pretty and melancholy and will stick with you, even though it’s a quick read.”

SPENCE AND SHOEMAKER TO LEAD SUMMER BOOK CLUB SOCIAL Book lovers, unite! The Summer Book Club Social provides an opportunity to connect you with your favorite people: other book lovers. The brainchild of the National Writers Series, Horizon Books, and the Traverse Area District Library, the Social takes place at Bluewater Hall, on West Bay, Aug. 9.

It will feature a conversation between author and librarian Annie Spence and Northport novelist and former librarian Sarah Shoemaker, the best-selling author of Mr. Rochester, a novel about the man who won Jane Eyre’s heart.

The event is aimed at bookworms, including anyone who belongs to a book club or who is interested in joining one. Hors d’oeuvres and wine will be served, and there will be live music, a book signing, even a trivia contest.

It runs from 6pm to 8:30pm on Thursday, Aug. 9, at Bluewater Hall, which is located at 13424 S. West Bay Shore Drive, in Traverse City. Admission is free, but space is limited.

Call 231-486-6868 to reserve space.

2024 South Airport Rd at Logan’s Landing • Traverse City 8/2/18 9:36 PM

By Kristi Kates Exchange students — students who study abroad to gain new cultural experiences and expand their worlds — often return to the foreign places where they studied to relive memories or visit their host families.

But Baris Atmaca of Istanbul, Turkey, took his return a step further: He came back to to northern Michigan to open a business.

MICHIGAN RETURN Atmaca first visited Michigan’s East Jordan as a Rotary exchange student in 2005.

“I stayed with three host families, and I kept in close contact with them over the years,” Atmaca said. “They visited me in Istanbul and even attended my wedding [to Cigdem Erdal] there.”

Atmaca may have found the weather well outside of his usual, but in his first year here, he fell in love with the people.

“I realized that Michigan is full of warmhearted people who live in cold weather conditions,” he said. “People here are very social, helpful, hard working, and welcoming.

I never had a single bad day living here and always thought, one day I want to live here.”

Following high school, Atmaca returned to Turkey and earned a degree in business administration. A couple of years ago, he decided to visit East Jordan during the holidays to spend some time with his U.S. host parents, and he brought socks with him as gifts. The socks were from his wife’s family’s sock manufacturing company in Istanbul, for which Atmaca and his wife handle the production and marketing.

“We do the full cycle of production, starting from knitting and finishing to packaging, inspecting, marketing, and exporting,” Atmaca said.

“Everyone [in East Jordan] loved the socks I brought for the holidays and asked how they can purchase them for their friends and family,” he said. “It occurred to me that people here value good quality warm socks.”

VINTAGE PRODUCTION Atmaca launched his company, Socks Kick, in 2017, following a round of marketing research he did visiting shops and buyers from Petoskey down to Chicago, and also attending the Magic Trade Show in Las Vegas.

“After realizing that there is a demand for our products, we set up our company and started looking for distribution opportunities,” he said. “Buyers want to purchase locally and get the products faster rather than dealing with the hassle of importing, so we established a warehouse here in East Jordan in order to provide fast service and also to be able to give back to the community that I see as my hometown.”

In regards to the socks themselves, Atmaca emphasized that craftsmanship is about the process, not only the end result.

“The way we produce our socks and the way we sell them, it’s really about the whole experience that goes into it,” he said. “We want each pair of socks to sell the next pair. Our socks are knitted on authentic vintage machines like the Bentley Komet, using only the finest quality yarns for a superior fit and finish.”

Atmaca says the machines and material result in socks with a refined feel that is immediately noticeable to the touch.

“What makes our socks unique is that due to the production technique of our vintage machinery, the socks have a ribbed welt with high elasticity that doesn’t leave a mark on the ankles, and the toe boxes are wider to ensure comfort,” said Atmaca.

240,000 PAIRS Socks Kick is targeting retail markets like local ski shops, clothing stores, gift shops, and small boutiques, as well as bigger chain stores like Meijer and Dick’s Sporting Goods.

“The local market is attractive to start sales and grow steady and gradually,” Atmaca said. “After having brand recognition, our goal is to expand statewide and nationally. The next step after this is moving some of the production from Turkey to here so that we can have ‘Made in the U.S.A.’ socks as well employing more people. We have already been in contact with a local yarn supplier, Stonehedge Fiber Mill, in order to see if producing here is actually doable.

We were happy to see that it is definitely possible to have production here!”

Socks Kick already has a great start: “At the moment, we have more than 240,000 pairs of socks in our warehouse in East Jordan ready to be distributed all around Michigan, and we will be hitting local stores in fall 2018,” said Atmaca.

NORTHERN LIFESTYLE Like the socks themselves — all soft, thick, and colorful — suit northern Michigan’s harsh winter weather, the calmer Up North lifestyle also suits Atmaca, his wife, and their three-year-old son.

“Living in a huge city like Istanbul with more than 20 million people takes a toll on us,” he said. “We either do not have time, or are too stressed out, to do anything. That’s why every day in northern Michigan is like a vacation to me. There are so many outdoor

activites to do that we do not get to do in Istanbul. I also want our son to have the same experience and education I had here when I was a teenager.”

Turkish people, Atmaca said, are known for their hospitality. “And so are Michiganders,” he said.

“We have many similarities, such as being polite, kind, and helpful. Of course there are cultural differences between here and Turkey, but it doesn’t really affect our daily life. Being a Rotary Youth Exchange student, I learned a lot about different cultures around the world and also trained myself to handle feelings of homesickness.”

“The exchange program aims to make the world a more peaceful place one student at a time, for more understanding of foreign people and countries in the future, and for promoting peace around the world.”

“Although … I do miss Turkish food,” he added.

EVERYBODY GOTTA GET FOOTLOOSE Want to check out — or purchase some of Atmaca’s socks — but can’t wait for fall? You can buy them now at Socks Kick’s online store (sockskick.com), or at the warehouse/office/showroom at 117 S. Lake Street in East Jordan. Just want to look? Search Socks Kick on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest.

Fall’s Must-have Necessity for High School Sophomores?

A college & career consultant

By Craig Manning The ivory tower has morphed into something beyond educating the young.

For many colleges, it’s all about the bottom line.

“Colleges are not in the business of making money. Colleges are in the business of making huge money,” said Matt Breimayer, the owner and founder of Right Path College and Career Planning in Traverse City.

Breimayer works in the field of college consulting, an industry that is growing rapidly both locally and nationwide. College consulting businesses help students and families with the college planning process, including tests, essays, school selection, and finances.

College cost, Breimayer says, is at the root of this booming industry. According to Bureau of Labor Statistics, the cost of college tuition and fees has surged more than 1,000 percent since 1978. For the 2017/18 school year, the nonprofit College Board reported that a “moderate college budget” for an instate public college was $25,290. The average budget for a private college was $50,900.

With those numbers increasing every year — and students exiting school with record sums of loan debt — more and more families are looking for ways to gain an advantage during the college planning process.

Breimayer’s Right Path College and Career Planning is not the only Up North business aiming at college-bound students and their families. Another player in the local college consulting market is Vicki Beam at Michigan College Planning. Beam and Breimayer are former business partners who launched Michigan College Planning together back in 2012. Their backgrounds in financial advising meant they were there at the frontline to witness parents’ growing anxieties about college costs. They saw a need for a dedicated college consulting service, and Michigan College Planning was born.

Beam realized that a lot of the ways she had been helping her clients to accumulate wealth were inadvertently reducing the amount of financial aid they could get for their kids.

“It’s kind of like when you go to get your taxes done,” Beam said. “You want to make sure you are taking advantage of all the tax breaks and all the opportunities to lower your taxes. Well, it’s the same thing when you’re looking at colleges. Families really should strategize before getting close to filling out the FAFSA and/or CSS Profile, which are the forms for financial aid. They should speak to a specialist and make sure they are taking advantage of the rules and ways of lowering cost.”

Breimayer left Michigan College Planning about two years ago to try out a different business approach with Right Path.

Because college planning is a complicated process with so many different steps and facets, no two college consulting businesses are quite the same. Some, such as Michigan College Planning, focus more on the financial side of things. Others — including Pinpoint Advising, another TC business in the college consulting niche — are more academically driven.

Started in 2006 by Gretchen Uhlinger, Pinpoint is one of the longer-running college consulting services in Traverse City. Unlike Breimayer and Beam, Uhlinger’s background was in education, not financial planning.

Uhlinger was the Founding Head of School at the Montessori Children’s House on Long Lake Road, as well as a former admissions officer at Interlochen Arts Academy. When she retired, she got interested in the “next developmental phase” for students — a passion that led to Pinpoint.

Uhlinger says that many of the students who come to Pinpoint aspire to Ivy League colleges and other prestigious universities.

However, for Uhlinger, the job is less about helping kids get into college and more about drawing a map toward a successful career.

“We’re in the business of trying to help the students identify their interests, but that’s hard for a sophomore,” Uhlinger said.

“So we work with goals. Maybe you don’t know what you want to be, but you kind of know how you want to be. You don’t know that you want to be a neurosurgeon, but

20 • aug 06, 2018 • Northern Express Weekly

Gretchen Uhlinger

you do know that you want to move back to Traverse City, and support yourself, and help other people. So we try to help students get more clear about their goals, and then listen to their family’s goals and make sure they’re all hearing each other.”

Both Breimayer and Beam have also focused on career path in recent years, as college costs have increased and students have become more cautious about taking on debt.

More students, they say, are looking at college in terms of return on investment. Beam uses a sophisticated piece of software called Guided Path, which matches students to schools that make sense based on their interests and goals.

The software also provides a snapshot of college cost and potential financial aid opportunities at each school, making it easier for students and families to build a list of potential colleges.

One of Breimayer’s core services at Right Path, meanwhile, is what he calls a “career and interest match,” an in-depth, threehour process meant to help students start envisioning their futures.

“I think a lot of students only know about five or six careers, total,” Breimayer said. “They know what mom and dad do, and maybe a few relatives. They know stuff like doctor and lawyer. But what else is out there? My approach to college planning is to help the student find a career where they can wake up every Monday morning and love

Matt Breimayer

going to work.”

So when should students and families be connecting with college consultants like Beam, Breimayer and Uhlinger? All three indicate sophomore year as the right time to start thinking seriously about college planning.

Kicking things off in 10th grade typically leaves plenty of time for students to pick courses that align with their goals, prep for standardized tests, select meaningful extracurricular activities or summer experiences, identify scholarship opportunities and start building lists of potential schools.

There are reasons to start earlier, though.

Beam says that financial aid is determined on a “prior prior year” basis, which means that an aid package for a student graduating in 2019 will be determined based on their family’s 2017 income. Uhlinger says that many schools now fill 50 percent or more of their freshman classes with earlydecision applicants. And Breimayer notes that athletics can alter the entire timeline in complicated ways — a reason that he is in the process of adding a service that helps high school athletes find opportunities to play college sports. All these factors are pushing students and their families to start planning sooner and approach the admissions process more strategically.

Thanks to the growing college consulting market, students looking for that strategic edge now have someone to call.

Going Online to Go to School

TC’s Zoë Vande Kieft tried it. Here’s how it worked out for her.

By Ross Boissoneau Trying to fit sports and other extracurricular activities into a school day can be difficult. For Zoë Vande Kieft, it was impossible.

She found her love of and aptitude for hockey was at odds with the typical school day. So she opted to study online, and just graduated from Great Lakes Cyber Academy.

Though nominally a Traverse City resident — that’s where she’s originally from and where her parents now live — Vande Kieft has traveled all over for hockey. “My brother was into hockey. I wasn’t until middle school, [when I] started playing for fun. As I got older, I got more competitive and loved it,” she said.

Vande Kieft was at summer camp in Montana when she was recruited by a coach for a prep school. She went to a boarding school in New York State for her sophomore and junior years, but her schedules still were not gelling. So for her senior year, she enrolled at Great Lakes Cyber Academy (GLCA). While many of her peers typically sat inside classrooms from 8am to 4pm, Vande Kieft was playing hockey. She completed her lessons online before and after hockey.

She said the classes at GLCA were just as challenging as the ones she had taken previously, but now she could do the lessons without conflicting with hockey, and vice versa.

It also allowed her to accelerate her learning when she found a subject that was easy for her.

“I could go at my own pace. I could crank it up if I got it and not wait for others.”

On the other hand, when she needed extra help, it was only a phone call away. “I was always good at math, but online was more difficult.

There’s no one writing on the board, no step by step to see how it’s done. I had to contact my teacher,” Vande Kieft said. She was able to work with the teacher one on oneto help her understand the concepts and be able to solve her math problems.

Heather Ballien, the superintendent of GLCA, says the flexibility of online schooling can be beneficial to those like Vande Kieft or others who travel or who have other challenges with traditional school settings and schedules.

She said that, in addition to intense sports or other extra-curricular schedules, bullying is an all-too-common reason why some students opt for online schooling. Another is older students who are uncomfortable with a peer group that is much younger than they are.

“It’s really individualized to the student and family,” she said. “The common denominator is that something about traditional school didn’t work for them.”

GLCA is one of several such online schools operating in the state. As a state-supported charter school, it is tuition-free. GLCA currently has approximately 1,100 students from across the state in grades 6–12. Students hail from Escanaba to Tecumseh, according to Ballien.

The school had 36 teachers this past year, and Ballien is still interviewing more, with the goal of increasing the staff to 42 this year.

While it doesn’t offer many of the traditional extracurricular activities typical brick-and-mortar school do, it does offer clubs and activities for those with similar interests; that poses some advantages, she said. As an example, Ballien pointed to the school’s chess club. “Our students connect with schools from around the country, like Texas or South Dakota. They have global access, like in the real world.”

GLCA also offers options for the school year: Approximately 30 percent of the students elect to take their courses as they would with a traditional school year calendar.

The remaining 70 percent take classes during an extended calendar year. That allows for either accelerated learning, or for a student to take a lighter load at any one time without falling behind.

Vande Kieft took advantage of the extended schedule, which allowed her to take the AP classes she wanted, when she wanted.

The hockey player graduated last month, and this should be the part of the story where the protagonist turns her love of hockey into an opportunity to get a scholarship to go to school. But that’s not the way it worked out.

“After all that, I decided not to play college hockey,” said Vande Kieft. The colleges pursuing her to play hockey were mostly located in the New England area, and she didn’t feel they were a fit for her. “I knew I wouldn’t be happy there academically. I ended up choosing the University of Iowa for pre-med.”

Iowa doesn’t offer intercollegiate hockey — for either men or women — but the pull was there, she said. “My dad grew up in Iowa, and his brother went to med school there. I loved the campus, and I’ll be close to family.

“I’ll be okay. I’ve been skating all summer.

It’s been mostly hockey for a very long time,” she said, but this is an opportunity to experience other activities and facets of life.

Yarrrr! There’s a Boatload

of Fun at Pirate Fest!

By Kristi Kates Avast ye, mateys, and shiver yer timbers!

Hoist up the mizzenmast and scrounge all hands on deck, there’s a scurvy bilge-rat trying to steal our grog before we can even pillage and plunder the local landlubbers!

If that all sounds like gibberish to you, you wouldn’t be alone.

But if you recognize every zany word – well, you might just be a pirate.

A brand new summer festival — Pirate Fest — is coming to Boyne City, and it’s exactly the place to practice your pirate vocabulary.

BE A PIRATE Charlevoix Area Humane Society director and local civic entrepreneur Scott MacKenzie is the man behind the event.

“The idea actually started in a conversation about five or six years ago with my friend Tom Petrie, also known as [local juggler/ entertainer] Tommy Tropic,” MacKenzie said.

“It was just something he wanted to do. We kind of bantered it back and forth for years, until he approached me one day and finally said, ‘Let’s just do this.’”

MacKenzie and Petrie put a small committee together, and were surprised at the near-immediate enthusiasm for the idea.

“As soon as we got the word out, people came out of the woodwork,” MacKenzie said.

“But I mean — who doesn’t want to be a pirate?”

STOLEN IDEAS The two friends pulled festival ideas from a couple of different sources.

“Tommy had been performing in the Cayman Islands, and they have a huge pirate festival there, so some of the ideas came from there,” said MacKenzie.

“Also, my wife and I drove my parents to Florida, and we ended up going to a similar pirate fest in St. Augustine.”

In true pirate style, the men ‘stole’ ideas from the other festivals to help inspire events and themes for the pirate fest they planned to put together in Boyne City, including a plan for “the battle that never happened.”

“There was a real pirate called Sadie the Goat who lived out in New York in the late 1800s,” MacKenzie explained. “She’d wait around outside bars for guys to come out drunk, then she’d headbutt them in the stomach and steal their stuff. She did so well she put a whole gang together around her and became their leader.”

“We added to that story and say that she then went up the St. Lawrence Seaway and

through the Great Lakes, and ended up here in Boyne City, so there’s a group of pirates who are coming to Boyne City to find where Sadie hid her treasure.”

EPIC BATTLE The pirates will land in Boyne City on Friday, invading the town during Stroll the Streets.

“The mayor will welcome them by presenting them with the key to the city. The pirates will take that — literally — and they’ll try to take over and fight the townspeople, complete with jugglers, fire eaters, all kinds of entertainment,” MacKenzie said.

The pirate invasion will be happening during Boyne City’s sidewalk sales, flea market, and car show, “so it’ll be one crazy weekend!” MacKenzie added.

After the epic battle concludes, the pirates will get pardoned so the festivities can continue.

“We’ll be screening the movie The Greatest Showman on Friday night, along with a costume contest; the weekend will also include a family friendly silent disco, pirate-themed celebrations at local bars and restaurants, and two brunches on Sunday — at Sommerset Pointe restaurant on Lake Charlevoix and the French Quarter New Orleans Bistro on Round Lake —where you can join pirates for brunch,” MacKenzie said.

EXCEPTIONAL BENEFITS

CHARITY CHOICES Another cool thing about Pirate Fest are the charities that will benefit from the pirates’ debauchery.

“Any funds raised after we cover expenses will go to charity,” MacKenzie confirmed.

“Our three charity choices this year are The Humane Society, Safe Families, and the Inland Seas Program.”

Expect to see many pirates in full pirate regalia around Boyne City all weekend. And if you’re feeling left out, Pirate Fest even has a solution for that.

“Some of the vendors will actually have pirate costumes for sale during the festival, so if you don’t have one, or if perhaps you’re arriving in town without prior knowledge of the event, you can still participate,” said MacKenzie.

Just don’t blame MacKenzie if your “new” costume appears to be worn or stolen.

Because, you know — they’re pirates.

The Boyne City Pirate Fest will run August 9–12. For a full schedule of events and more information, visit boynecitypiratefest.com.

The Essex Green – The Long Goodbye – Merge

If you like 10,000 Maniacs-era Natalie Merchant or Fairport Convention, chances are you’ll like The Essex Green, a ’60s- and ’70s-inspired band from Brooklyn, New York, that conjures up both the sounds and ambiance of those times. Available on limitededition groovy white vinyl as well as regular CD and download versions, the revamped version of this set also includes three rarely heard bonus tracks (digital only): “Everybody’s Missing the Sun,” “Mendocino,” and “The Boo Hoo Boy Reprise” — these three alone make the album worth the purchase.

Ume – Other Nature – Modern Outsider

Austin, Texas, outfit Ume isn’t much known outside of the Austin live club scene and Euro festival circuit, but it certainly deserves more recognition for its edgy blend of pop and punk.

And this new album might change the game for the band. Helmed by Grammy-winning producer Stuart Sikes, the set puts plenty of focus on frontwoman Lauren Larson, who sings and plays a mean guitar, and the band’s pointed, hurtling melodies on tracks like “Crushed” and the galloping “Don’t You Worry.”

The Sword – Used Future – Razor and Tie

Recorded and mixed by the acclaimed Tucker Martine, the latest from The Sword shifts between visions of pulp sci-fi comics and darker themes.

Space is a center theme on this collection of heavy, high-concept tunes, which sometimes veer into the psychedelic (“Deadly Nightshade,” “Brown Mountain”) and occasionally into tracks (“Intermezzo”) that are rife with odd instrumental pauses and unidentifiable instrumental riffs. The lyrics are sometimes a little too weird, but overall this is an interesting audio trip into a graphic novel of sound.

Kevin Gordon – Tilt and Shine – Crowville

Gordon has a poetry degree. That’s the first thing you need to know about the Louisiana folk-rocker and his latest album, because one of the standout things about it is his way with a lyric. Praised by the likes of Lucinda Williams, this kind of musical prose isn’t for everyone — it can be a little rough around the edges — but it’s authentic, especially on tunes like the Delta-blues-inspired “Fire at the End of the World” or the more raucous “Right on Time,” both of which showcase his ability to scrape the sidewalks for realism in audio storytelling.

A

: Consider men’s general lack of interest in wedding planning. Of course, if men did the organizing, there’d probably be a paintball duel to the altar, strippers serving nachos, and a minister who ends the ceremony with: “You may now have a threesome with the bride and her sister.”

However, what we could call the “weddingindustrial complex” — with $56 billion in sales in the U.S. in 2017 (per The Wedding Report) — is driven mainly by women (and, more recently — and to a lesser extent — very stylish gay men). So we often hear about “bridezillas” — human nightmares losing it over picky-wicky wedding details — but it’s the rare man who even comes close to caring enough to be called a “groomzilla.”

In fact, though many women start planning their weddings years before meeting a potential groom, there probably isn’t a guy out there who gave thought to, say, what the centerpieces would be until he absolutely had to: “Um... honey, am I crazy, or is that an electric cattle prod you’re holding?”

And frankly, for the average guy getting married, the ideal situation would be to propose, get clocked with a bowling trophy, and wake up 10 months later to one of his bros shaking a tux in his face and saying, “Hose off and get dressed, man. You gotta be at the chapel in an hour!”

These sex differences in wedding micromanagement reflect evolved sex differences in what evolutionary psychologists David Buss and David Schmitt call “sexual strategies.” These refer to long-term versus short-term orientation in mating — committed sex versus casual sex.

Though there are times when casual sex is the optimal choice for a woman, in general, women tend to benefit more from a “long-term mating strategy” — holding out for men who are willing and able to stick around to protect and provide for their children. (Think handsome prince — and all that “happily ever after” stuff — versus handsome hookup.)

Men will suck it up and opt for a long-term relationship for a number of reasons, Buss and Schmitt explain: because being on the hunt is time-, energy-, and resource-sucking and

because “highly desirable” women can hold out for commitment. But because a man can, let’s just say, sheet ‘em and street ‘em and still have a pretty good chance of passing on his genes, men often benefit more from a “short-term sexual strategy” — quantity over quality, or what I call the “I love a parade!” model.

Still, this isn’t all that’s driving the average man’s lack of interest in the color of the posies on the dessert table. There’s also the evolved sex difference in status competition — the differing ways men and women compete for status intrasexually (with others of their sex).

As I explained recently, a major way men compete for status with other men is by being accompanied by smoking-hot women.

(Welcome to the Armcandylympics!) These hotties don’t have to be wives or girlfriends; they just shouldn’t look like they’re with a guy simply because his credit card cleared at the rent-a-“model” website.

Women, on the other hand, evolved to compete for status with other women by pairing up with the most high-status man they can get. Though we’re living in modern times, we’re still driven

by Stone Age psychology. In ancestral times, a woman’s partner’s status would have been a life-or-death issue — affecting the level of “provisioning” (eats, housing) and protection she had for herself and her children.

In other words, so-called “princess culture” was created by evolution, not Disney. So little girls, to the great dismay of their progressive parents, are drawn to those stories of the scullery maid who ends up marrying the prince — the rich, high-status, hunky dude (good genes!) who could have any woman but finds our girl uniquely bewitching.

A man bewitched is a man less likely to stray — so the fairy tale is actually a commitment fantasy. The “fairy tale wedding” is a celebration of that — the successful completion of an evolutionary imperative, or, as the bride might put it: “Nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah!

You girls fight amongst yourselves for the toothless peasants!”

Getting back to the male point of view, a guy gets married because he has become “bewitched” (“fallen in love,” in contemporary terms) and wants a life partner and/or a family and realizes that sex with a string of strippers is not the path to suburban dadhood. However, even when a man decides to commit to one particular woman, his evolved drive for sexual variety remains. So...to finally answer your question: No man wants to buy “Grooms!” magazine — because a wedding is, in a sense, a giant frothy funeral for his sex life.

lOGY

AUG 6 - AUG 12

BY ROB BREZSNY

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You probably gaze at the sky enough

to realize when there’s a full moon. But you may not monitor the heavenly cycles closely enough to tune in to the new moon, that phase each month when the lunar orb is invisible. We astrologers regard it as a ripe time to formulate fresh intentions. We understand it to be a propitious moment to plant metaphorical seeds for the desires you want to fulfill in the coming four weeks. When this phenomenon happens during the astrological month of Leo, the potency is intensified for you. Your next appointment with this holiday is August 10th and 11th.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Not even

five percent of the world’s population lives in a complete democracy. Congratulations to Norway, Canada, Australia, Finland, Ireland, Iceland, Denmark, New Zealand, Switzerland, and Sweden. Sadly, three countries where my column is published -- the U.S., Italy, and France -- are categorized as “flawed democracies.” Yet they’re far better than the authoritarian regimes in China and Russia. (Source: The Economist.) I offer this public service announcement as a prelude to your homework assignment. According to my astrological analysis, you will personally benefit from working to bring more democracy into your personal sphere. How can you ensure that people you care about feel equal to you, and have confidence that you will listen to and consider their needs, and believe they have a strong say in shaping your shared experiences?

PIScES (Feb. 19-March 20): Mystic poet

Kabir wrote, “The flower blooms for the fruit: when the fruit comes, the flower withers.” He was invoking a metaphor to describe his spiritual practice and reward. The hard inner work he did to identify himself with God was the blooming flower that eventually made way for the fruit. The fruit was his conscious, deeply felt union with God. I see this scenario as applicable to your life, Pisces. Should you feel sadness about the flower’s withering? It’s fine to do so. But the important thing is that you now have the fruit. Celebrate it! Enjoy it!

ARIES

(March 21-April 19): alestinian American writer Susan Abulhawa writes that in the Arab world, to say a mere “thank you” is regarded as spiritless and ungenerous. The point of communicating gratitude is to light up with lively and expressive emotions that respond in kind to the kindness bestowed. For instance, a recipient may exclaim, “May Allah bless the hands that give me this blessing,” or “Beauty is in the eyes that find me beautiful.” In accordance with current astrological omens, I propose that you experiment with this approach. Be specific in your praise. Be exact in your appreciation. Acknowledge the unique mood and meaning of each rich exchange.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): According to my

analysis of the astrological omens, you need this advice from mythologist Joseph Campbell: “Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again.” He says it’s “a rescue land . . . some field of action where there is a spring of ambrosia -- a joy that comes from inside, not something external that puts joy into you -- a place that lets you experience your own will and your own intention and your own wish.” Do you have such a place, Taurus?

If not, now is a great time to find one. If you do, now is a great time to go there for a spell and renew the hell out of yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When he was

20 years old, future U.S. President Thomas Jefferson had an awkward encounter with a young woman who piqued his interest. He was embarrassed by the gracelessness he displayed.

For two days afterward, he endured a terrible headache. We might speculate that it was a psychosomatic reaction. I bring this up because I’m wondering if your emotions are also trying to send coded messages to you via your body.

Are you aware of unusual symptoms or mysterious sensations?

See if you can trace them back to their source in your soul.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): There’s a zone

in your psyche where selfishness overlaps generosity, where the line between being emotionally manipulative and gracefully magnanimous almost disappears. With both hope

and trepidation for the people in your life, I advise you to hang out in that grey area for now. Yes, it’s a risk. You could end up finessing people mostly for your own good and making them think it’s mostly for their own good. But the more likely outcome is that you will employ ethical abracadabra to bring out the best in others, even as you get what you want, too.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In her poem

“Dogfish,” Virgo poet Mary Oliver writes, “I wanted the past to go away, I wanted to leave it.”

Why? Because she wanted her life “to open like a hinge, like a wing.” I’m happy to tell you, Virgo, that you now have more power than usual to make your past go away.

I’m also pleased to speculate that as you perform this service for yourself, you’ll be skillful enough to preserve the parts of your past that inspire you, even as you shrink and neutralize memories that drain you. In response to this good work, I bet your life will open like a hinge, like a wing -- no later than your birthday, and most likely before that.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran fashion writer

Diana Vreeland (1903-1989) championed the beauty of the strong nose. She didn’t approve of women wanting to look like “piglets and kittens.”

If she were alive today, she’d be pleased that nose jobs in the U.S. have declined 43 percent since 2000. According to journalist Madeleine Schwartz writing in Garage magazine, historians of rhinoplasty say there has been a revival of appreciation for the distinctive character revealed in an unaltered nose. I propose, Libra, that in accordance with current astrological omens, we extrapolate some even bigger inspiration from that marvelous fact. The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to celebrate and honor and express pride in your idiosyncratic natural magnificence.

ScORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Maybe happiness is this: not feeling like you should be elsewhere, doing something else, being someone else.” This definition, articulated by author Isaac Asimov, will be an excellent fit for you between now and September 20. I suspect you’ll be unusually likely to feel at peace with yourself and at home in the world. I don’t mean to imply that every event will make you cheerful and calm. What I’m saying is that you will have an extraordinary capacity to make clear decisions based on accurate appraisals of what’s best for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I’ve

compiled a list of new blessings you need and deserve during the next 14 months. To the best of my ability, I will assist you to procure them. Here they are: a practical freedom song and a mature love song; an exciting plaything and a renaissance of innocence; an evocative new symbol that helps mobilize your evolving desires; escape from the influence of a pest you no longer want to answer to; insights about how to close the gap between the richest and poorest parts of yourself; and the cutting of a knot that has hindered you for years.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “It has

become clear to me that I must either find a willing nurturer to cuddle and nuzzle and whisper sweet truths with me for six hours or else seek sumptuous solace through the aid of eight shots of whiskey.” My Capricorn friend Tammuz confided that message to me. I wouldn’t be surprised if you were feeling a comparable tug. According to my assessment of the Capricorn zeitgeist, you acutely need the revelations that would become available to you through altered states of emotional intelligence. A lavish whoosh of alcohol might do the trick, but a more reliable and effective method would be through immersions in intricate, affectionate intimacy.
