Send Him Back Sen. Rand Paul has shown by his recent behavior that he is a fake human being, he has no heart, no sympathy, no empathy for our 9/11 first responders. The next time he runs for office, the people of his state should send him back to whatever planet he came from.

Dianne Carlton, Traverse City Insecure Bully Donald Trump is at his core, like most bullies, a coward. That’s why he cozies up to international bullies like Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and others. He figures if he shows them enough adulation, they won’t pick on him. Plus, he really wants to be like them.

The same psychology can be seen playing out at Trump’s ego-feeding rallies.

The people standing behind him cheering and loudly repeating his vile rhetoric are also cowards. They, like Trump, have never stood for anything honorable or admirable.

They think this is their one chance to feel like they’re being heard. In reality, Trump has made them his “b%#$hes” and uses them to further his own demonic visions.

These willfully, woefully ignorant minions and their repugnant leader must be defeated, or we could all pay a terrible price.

Richard When, Elmira Label Maker In his letter published in the July 22 Northern Express, William Deneau expressed concern about use of the epithet “racist.” He states that those who “died for the Constitution and all its amendments, including the first, would wonder how we got there.” He seems to imply that use of the term should be grounds for defamation-ofcharacter litigation.

While I share his concern that can such an accusation can label a person who has “no defense” in the minds of others, I think it obscures the realities of racism. Virtually all us Caucasians were raised in a culture

that both benefits from and propagates the realities of white privilege. Many of our behaviors (including failures to speak or act) are consequently “racist,” even when we have no racist intent. The same applies to “sexist,” “homophobic,” etc. behaviors.

However, when confronting them we need to focus on the behavior, not the person. In other words, we should state, “I think that was a racist [sexist, etc.] statement.” Not “You are a racist!” For well over half a century I have been confronted in both ways more often that I care to confess. But I have learned more from the first type of confrontation and can accept them as opportunities for growth, not as mere slander.

It has become far too easy and convenient to label each other for behaviors. Take Trump. Despite his frequent denigrations of people of color as “criminals” or “terrorists” or whose ancestral origins were in “s--- countries,” calling him “racist” doesn’t truly address his characterizations.

Similarly, ongoing documentation of his innumerable falsehoods teaches us more than merely dismissing him as a liar.

Tom Beukema, Petoskey Choking on Grapevines?

I was reluctant to write this letter because I know what a sustaining boost to our local economy the wine industry has become. And I love wine! However, it appears we have a burgeoning problem with runaway grapes that wasn’t present before the advent of all the local vineyards.

Almost everywhere you look now there are wild grapevines growing on about anything they can attach to. Take a drive in the country, and you will see them clinging to fence posts, mailboxes, power poles, old vehicles, barns, etc. The natural vegetation of my yard is fighting for survival as this tenacious plant has become an invasive species and is choking the life out of everything else. I trim the vines, cut them down, pull them out, but they come back with a vengeance. I have pulled and cut 30-foot tendrils out of the white pines at the edge of my lawn, and still the grapevines come back. The fence around my garden has disappeared behind a wall of entwining tendrils and broad, reaching green leaves.

It’s time our local agribusiness looks into this problem and comes up with a way to control the rampant growth of these errant vines before they really get out of control, and our area becomes one giant grape arbor.

Henry Ramsby, Traverse City UnBEARable You might think it would be really cool to see a bear in the wild. But your yard isn’t supposed to be wilderness.

We landscaped our grounds as a haven for birds and pollinators. In the past 20 years our National Wildlife-certified habitat has hosted more than 90 species of birds and many varieties of butterflies and bees. But three years ago we had to take the feeders in at night. Now we’re forced to keep them inside because bears show up during the day. We no longer grill. Too bad for the cardinals, finches, grosbeaks, and us.

I’ve written the deaf DNR twice about the problem but the DNR is the problem.

They want more bears for trophy hunters.

Michigan is one of only 10 states that allows bear baiting. The Humane Society

says baited bears are less shy; they associate human scent with food. Further, tainted bait can poison other animals like dogs, and so much food ends up creating more bears. The added fat helps them easily survive lean winters and ensures more milk for cubs. Beekeepers say record bear numbers are now destroying their hives.

Feeling safe? Bears can open latches.

Last year one mauled a New Hampshire woman in her kitchen. Another critically injured a Pennsylvania woman and her dog as they stepped outside. Yet another tried repeatedly to enter the home of a terrorized Massachusetts woman baking brownies.

Please contact your representatives or start a petition to end bear baiting in Michigan.

Mary Eliowitz, Maple City Ban the Bro Culture In 2017, Marines United, a social media group of 30,000 members, was busted for distributing nude photos of female colleagues and promoting sexual violence.

In 2018, the recorded words of married father and Jackson County Sheriff Steven Rand about a female colleague — “I always wanted to do a snuff film with her and she could be the star (rape). I would put one (bullet) in the back of her head”— was revealed to the public.

Last week, two Louisiana police officers were fired: One for posting that he’d like to put a bullet in a congresswoman’s head, and the other officer for liking that post.

A secret Facebook group of 9,000 border patrol agents exposed racism, indifference to suffering children, and misogyny, including images of the violent rape of a congresswoman. That succeeded an investigation of national law enforcement exposing a large group of police officers posting violent, racist, homophobic, and misogynist comments about the public they’re paid to protect.

When rape kits were finally opened after collecting dust for two decades, responding officers across the country left report comments doubting many victims — some even calling them derogatory names.

A few bad apples? Hardly. The bro/rape culture has been with us for all of history, but it’s never been socially normalized as it has in the age of Trump. He is the avatar of weak, aggrieved white men, deeply insecure, emotionally stunted in puberty, with an insatiably needy ego that can only be inflated through ridicule, oppression and sexual aggression. Our sons are being inundated with social cues about what it means to be a man in the bro culture including conditioning good men and boys to remain silent in the presence of it. These men are teaching our kids that females are disposable garbage whose human and civil rights are contingent on whether the bro club decides they’re worthy of it.

Julie A Racine, Marion All Courage In his July 30 Jamestown speech, Donald Trump gave a public and courageous voice to his position of slavery condemnation, thus sacrificing literally dozens of votes which would have come from the proslavery segment of his electorate. And this coming from the man who was so recently accused of racism.

this week’s

top ten Musket Part Found at Michilimackinac Archaeologists working at Colonial Michilimackinac in Mackinaw City have discovered yet another relic from early American history.

Researchers found a nearly-fiveinch-long “serpent sideplate” from a British trade gun; it was located in the west wall of a root cellar in House E of the Southeast Rowhouse on July 30. House E was first occupied by Charles Henri Desjardins de Rupallay de Gonneville, a fur trader who was born in Montreal on 1696, and later by an as-yet-unidentified English trader.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the archaeological dig at Michilimackinac, making it one of the longest-running archaeology programs in North America. In the same area in the last two years they’ve found ceramic vessels, tin-glazed earthenware, creamware plates, Chinese export porcelain, a mostly intact knife, the handle of a sword, a silver trade brooch, a door hinge, and a large piece of feather creamware, a thin, refined style of earthenware decorated with a feather pattern.

Hey, read it!

The Yellow House

In 1961, Sarah M. Broom’s mother, Ivory Mae, bought a yellow shotgun house in the thenprosperous boomtown of New Orleans East. The youngest of twelve siblings, Sarah’s birth would precede the death of her father, Simon, by just six months, saddling Ivory Mae with their blended brood and a rapidly dilapidating house. Due for release later this month, Broom’s debut memoir, “The Yellow House,” traces nearly a century of the Broom family tree, and the connection of its far-flung members to home, even after Hurricane Katrina wipes the titular dwelling from the map. A story of place, told by a true New Orleans native, “The Yellow House” is a celebration of the values, tradition, and familial love that even time and tragedy cannot erase.

Fried Chicken from Alliance

Since opening in 2015, Alliance — located in the heart of Traverse City’s Warehouse District — has built a reputation for creating innovative, wildly flavorful dishes with the freshest ingredients possible. The restaurant’s signature tricks are all on display in their Fried Chicken ($24), which is well on its way to legendary status among many locals.

Combining crispy chicken with toasted ginger rice, jalapeño peppers, and a collection of fresh herbs — the cilantro is especially noticeable — the Fried Chicken is both refreshing and heartily satisfying. Though Alliance typically rotates its menu on a seasonal basis, previous attempts at removing the Fried Chicken, even temporarily, have been met with quick pushback from Alliance fans. The result, at this point, is that the dish is likely here to stay, even as Chef James Bloomfield continues to blaze new trails. Fine by us! Alliance is open Wednesday through Sunday, 5pm to 10pm and takes reservations. 231-642-5545; 144 Hall St. Suite #107.

Raccoons Tapped to Teach People About Recycling

Failing to rinse something out before putting it into the recycling bin could contaminate an entire container, rendering it unrecyclable.

More than three quarters of Michigan residents don’t know that; recycling advocates at the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy want that to change.

They’ve launched a statewide campaign to teach people about recycling. At an event at American Waste in Traverse City July 29, they also announced $3.6 million in grants to improve recycling in northwest Lower Michigan.

EGLE hopes to reduce contaminated materials going into recycling bins and double the state’s recycling rate to 30 percent by 2025. Michigan’s current recycling rate of 15 percent is abysmal — it is the worst among Great Lakes states and among the worst in the country.

Part of the “Know It Before You Throw It” campaign is the Michigan Recycling Raccoon Squad, a public service campaign using raccoons to educate people about what can and cannot be recycled.

The grant funds will be used to develop recycling markets, increase access to recycling opportunities and reinforce planning efforts to grow recycling at the local level.

Stuff we love Rockin’ Cornerstone Gardens Nine years ago, Cadillac’s Cornerstone Apartments, an income-based public housing community, got a grant to establish a garden with small plots where residents and neighbors could grow healthy food for themselves and their families. The on-site greenhouse and raised beds are popular but showing their age. Thankfully, a mini windfall — a $2,500 grant from the Cadillac Area Community Foundation — blew in last week, and some improvements are about to take root in the garden. Says Carrie Ferguson, executive director of the Cadillac Housing Commission, which manages the apartments, says the garden offers folks far more than veggies: “Growing their own food gives neighbors a sense of pride, teaches them to cook healthier meals, and gives families much needed nutrition in their daily diets.”

Experience En Plein Air If you’re looking to inject a bit of the sublime into summertime, get your eyes (or easel) on Paint Grand Traverse. The second annual en plein air extravaganza offers loads of opportunities — many free! — to get creative and see some serious stunners.

Aug. 12–16, you can purchase plein air and studio works from the visiting artists in a gallery exhibition. On Monday evening (Aug. 12), you can explore the Sleeping Bear Dunes Nat’l Lakeshore to watch artists at work, on Tuesday morning (7am, Aug. 13), you’ll find them all over Leelanau Peninsula. Want to do what they do? Enroll in one of several live painting demonstrations, a day-long workshop, or even a first-timers class. Kids can get it on the action, too, at downtown Traverse City’s Aug. 16 Friday Night Live. Find more artist-at-work excursions, painting sales, and other events by viewing the Paint Grand Traverse schedule at www.crookedtree.org.

Bottoms up Casual Sunlight from MAWBY Vineyards For the summertime, beer drinkers have session ales and light, refreshing IPAs with low enough alcohol content to allow for all-day drinking out on the boat. Founders in Grand Rapids even calls its session ale “All Day IPA.” With its newest product, the Suttons Bay-based MAWBY Vineyards seems to be asking why fans of sparkling wine can’t have the same all-day enjoyment. Casual Sunlight, first introduced at the winery just last month, carries a 6.7 percent ABV and is infused with herbal tea from Traverse City’s Light of Day Organics. The result is a lightweight, one-of-a-kind treat: a mix of Mawby’s signature bubbly wines and the new, unique flavors brought in by the tea infusion. Stop into the winery to try a glass or pick up a few cans ($6 each) for your next boat cruise. Find the winery at 4519 Elm Valley Road, Suttons Bay, 231271-3522.

TIME GROWING SHORTER spectator

by Stephen Tuttle Some cities and states have accepted, and are responding to, climate change realities, while the federal government continues to ignore them. Or worse.

Traverse City is making a significant commitment to solar power. Berkeley, California, is moving away from natural gas, prohibiting its use in new commercial buildings and multiunit housing developments. Other cities are following similar paths.

The federal government is heading in the opposite direction, and that’s a problem.

A new study published in Nature traces temperature data, from a wide variety of sources, from the year zero to 2000. The last half of the 20th century saw bigger, more consistent, and more steadily increasing temperatures than at any time in the previous 1,950 years.

The climate change warnings have become the climate change reality, and still the federal government, led by an impotent Congress and a president who doesn’t believe science, does virtually nothing. And in many cases, far worse than nothing.

We know fossil fuels create greenhouse gases, and that’s changing the global climate. That isn’t a theory perpetrated by the Chinese; it’s science-driven fact. We know it’s going to get worse — in some places, intolerably worse — if we don’t make changes.

So what have the feds done? They’ve gone all in on fossil fuels.

Presidential executive orders have weakened emission standards for coal-burning power plants, reduced restrictions on where and how mines can dump their waste material, reduced some safety standards, and attempt-

The climate change warnings have become the climate change reality, and still the federal government, led by an impotent Congress and a president who doesn’t believe science, does virtually nothing. And in many cases, far worse than nothing.

The study also discovered climatic events often cited by climate change deniers, like the miniIce Age or the Medieval Warming, were actually regional anomalies that did not last long.

But the temperature increases cited in the study impact 98 percent of the planet and have been accelerating for more than half a century.

And they’re picking up speed in the 21st century. That’s neither regional nor brief.

ed to permit coal mining on public lands.

No matter how it’s measured, coal is still the dirtiest fossil fuel.

Along with these temperature increases, including warming oceans, comes a host of problems we’ve been warned about for years and years.

We withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreements signed by more than 100 other countries. The Agreements would have required us to at least make the effort to reduce our carbon footprint along with most of the rest of the world, but President Trump said it was a “terrible” agreement.

Greenland’s ice sheets keep calving at record rates, and the world’s glaciers continue their retreat. Western Europe just experienced multiple days of record-setting heat, often exceeding old standards by several degrees.

Hurricanes, fed by warmer ocean water, now include Biblical rain and companion flooding.

Normal high tides cause regular street flooding in some Florida coastal cities. That saltwater is now seeping into their freshwater aquifers through porous limestone.

August 21st, 2019 • 6pm-9:30pm (unless you are a sponsor or VIP ticket holder we have an exclusive pre-event cocktail hour starting at 5pm.)

Tickets: $100 or VIP tickets: $300/pair includes a special cocktail hour and unlimited wine throughout the event. www.stjude.org/sunsetinthevines 231-421-7001 7007 E Traverse Hwy, Traverse City

6 • august 05, 2019 • Northern Express Weekly

Rain and flooding events not associated with hurricanes, which are now commonplace in the United States and elsewhere, set their own records that keep getting broken by even more rain and flooding. In the Midwest, crops couldn’t be planted in the spring, some couldn’t be planted at all, and crop yield will be down. Again.

Record precipitation spurs plant growth that turns to tinder in subsequent record heat, creating perfect wildfire conditions. We now have twice as many wildfires burning four times the area at five times the cost of just 25 years ago.

Our hazy days here this summer have largely been caused by smoke from fires in Alaska and western Canada.

Unwanted critters, including disease-carrying bugs and human-biting sharks that once stayed in the tropics are finding homes farther north.

We’ve ramped up both oil and natural gas production and even tried to allow oil exploration in the Great Lakes. We’re now the world’s largest oil producer, though it’s debatable if that’s deserving of much boasting.

Additional executive orders have removed a whopping 13.5 million acres of federal land from national monument status and protection, thereby opening the door to more drilling and mining.

Last year we produced nearly two percent more carbon dioxide than the year before, and this year is likely to be worse. New Orleans, Venice, London, and New York are all considering multi-billion dollar gates to try and protect themselves from rising sea levels — as if we can keep out the ocean.

The changing climate is not a myth, and it’s not going to abate absent changes by the humans causing it. Many cities and some states are making good faith efforts to contribute to a solution.

But the current regime in Washington, oblivious to science, pretends to solve the problem by expanding its cause. The consequences only worsen as the time to change course grows ever shorter. The federal government turns its back as the waters and temperatures rise.

History will record it as a shameful abdication of our responsibility to the planet and each other.

Crime & Rescue FLEEING MOTORCYCLE RIDER NABBED The driver of a speeding motorcycle fled from Leelanau County Sheriff’s deputies, drove into an orchard and took off on foot when he was cornered.

Deputies caught up to and arrested the 30-year-old Suttons Bay man and took him to jail.

The chase started at just before midnight July 29 when a deputy clocked the man’s 2003 Harley Davidson travelling 55mph in a 40mph-zone on M-22 near East Carter Road.

When the deputy attempted a traffic stop, the motorcyclist sped west onto East Grandview and led deputies on a pursuit through Elmwood Township, driving through fields and ignoring stop signs along the way.

The man took Bugai Road north to Cherry Bend Road, where he turned onto Breithaupt Road and ended up at a dead end. He drove up a private driveway and into an orchard but was blocked by a patrol car when he tried to come back out of the driveway. Deputies said they arrested the man following a short foot chase.

ALLEGED PAINT THROWER ARRESTED A 28-year-old who was allegedly angry about an eviction faces felony charges after witnesses told police he threw paint onto a house near Gaylord, causing hundreds of dollars in damages.

Gaylord resident Cameron Klyder faces a charge of malicious destruction of property over $1,000, according to a July 30 press release from the Michigan State Police.

Troopers were dispatched to a home on Deepwoods Drive in Bagley Township and arrived to find Klyder splashed in paint. They arrested him after interviewing witnesses.

FARM STAND THEFT SUSPECTS ID’D Two suspects were arrested after a video was posted to social media that showed people swiping items from a farm

stand.

A 49-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man are expected to face charges.

The theft occurred at 1pm July 27 in Leland Township and the owners quickly posted surveillance video online, Leelanau County Sheriff’s deputies said. They also called the sheriff’s department to report the theft.

Corrections officers at the county jail watched the video and recognized the suspects, deputies said. They were soon tracked down to a home on Omena Road in Leelanau Township. When the suspects were confronted with the evidence, they admitted to the theft, deputies said.

BIKER SUFFERS CRITICAL INJURIES A 70-year-old man suffered critical injuries in a motorcycle crash in Wexford County.

Cadillac Police were called at 2:04pm July 25 to the intersection of E. Pine Street and N. Mitchell Street, where an 88-year-old Evart man had turned into the path of the motorcyclist, causing a crash.

The Cadillac man on the motorcycle was taken to Munson Cadillac and was then airlifted to

by patrick sullivan psullivan@northernexpress.com

Munson Medical Center in Traverse City, where he was in stable condition, police said.

WOMAN ARRESTED AT GAS STATION Two off-duty deputies decided to take action when they spotted some people acting strangely at a gas station.

The Cheboygan County Sheriff’s deputies were at Andy’s Gas Station near I-75 at Levering Road in Hebron Township at 6pm July 22 when a Ford Ranger pulled up and a female driver and two passengers got out and “started to aimlessly walk around the gas pumps.”

The deputies recognized signs of illegal drug use and confronted the trio, who it turns out were driving from Kalamazoo to Bark River, according to a July 26 press release. The deputies identified themselves, called for backup, and started an investigation.

Deputies found four ounces of methamphetamine – worth $12,000, police said – on the driver and they arrested the 33-year-old Howell woman. The case was turned over to the Straits Area Narcotics Enforcement drug team.

MAN RESCUED AFFTER BUOY CRASH The operator of a 38-foot Chris Craft didn’t see a large buoy on West Grand Traverse Bay and needed to be rescued after a collision tore open his boat’s fiberglass hull.

The Leelanau County Sheriff’s Marine Division was called July 23 at 11:20am to check on a vessel that was taking on water.

Northport Marina personnel along with Northport Fire and Rescue also responded and they used a pump to keep the boat afloat as it was towed back to the harbor.

Marine patrol deputies took over the investigation and determined the boat’s operator, a 62-year-old man from Bolivar, Mo. failed to see Red #2 Buoy and drove over it, causing severe damage to his boat. No one was injured but the damage was estimated at over $35,000.

GOLFERS DETAIN DRIVER A group of golfers at Interlochen Golf Club subdued a man who police believe caused a bad car crash and then fled into the woods.

The crash happened July 28 at 10:08am on US-31 near Gonder Road, across from the golf club.

A 27-year-old Grawn man was headed east when he crossed the centerline and crashed into an oncoming car.

The at-fault driver then ran off the road and crashed into a DTE gas main, causing a gas leak.

Another car crashed into the second car, and two more cars were damaged by debris.

When Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s deputies arrived, witnesses told them that the atfault driver had been swerving all over the road before the crash and that afterward he fled into the golf course.

When deputies looked for the man on the golf course, they found some golfers who had seen the crash and detained the suspect. The man showed signs of intoxication, but he refused to take a breathalyzer. He was taken to Munson Medical Center to have his blood drawn.

The drivers of the other two cars that crashed were taken to Munson for treatment. The road was closed for two hours while responders cleaned up the crash and stopped the gas leak.

Deputies called the Michigan State Police Bomb Squad, who determined the item was potentially live and they conducted a controlled detonation.

A sheriff’s department press release said they would refer the case to the National Park Service for further investigation. North and South Manitou Islands are part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

SHELL FOUND ON MANITOU A man who found what he suspected was a live military ordnance on one of the Manitou Islands took it home to his Manistee County residence. Later, he called 911 to let the authorities know.

Manistee County Sheriff’s deputies were called to a home on Railroad Avenue in Cleon Township at 8:40am July 30 to inspect what was thought to be an old military artillery shell.

Deputies said the man told them that he had removed the shell from the island by boat. A press release didn’t specify which island.

Our years in Yekaterinburg began with great hope for U.S.-Russia relations. Boris Yeltsin and Bill Clinton were buddies. Opening the consulate in a place that had been closed to the West for 70 years symbolized new goodwill between our nations. We found many eager regional partners for commercial ventures, as well as scientific, educational, and cultural exchanges.

Now, 25 years later, we returned against a backdrop of strained U.S.-Russia relations but a flourishing local economy. Indeed, what has transpired since Putin came to power is impressive. The urban standard of living has been transformed. Restaurants and cafes provide great food. The streets are packed late into the night with young Russians enjoying a good life.

Today, most of our consulate employees own their apartments and sometimes a second country “dacha.” We stayed in one of the many Airbnb’s on offer in the city, now possible because of privatization.

Yekaterinburg is a showcase of beautiful green areas with 50-story buildings dotting the skyline. We experienced a revitalized cultural life of opera, ballet, symphonies, and theater.

A new ice rink, Datsyuk 13, hosts summer hockey camps under the guidance of former Red Wing and Yekaterinburg native Pavel Datsyuk. Hockey moms who’d fit in anywhere in Michigan watch from the stands.

Less understood, or discussed, is where the money comes from to support all this growth.

Clearly, Yekaterinburg, the third largest city in Russia, has benefited from major state-directed investments. Additionally, the government has helped revive several production facilities for the country’s enormous deposits of copper, titanium, zinc, and other resources. Now “privatized,’ these industries are owned by a few billionaires who refrain from flaunting their wealth and, in some cases, generously “give back” to the community by supporting the arts, building affordable housing, and preserving and displaying Russian historical treasures.

Areas outside the cities aren’t faring so well. The farther you drive, the older the buildings become and the more decrepit the infrastructure. Prices for staples are kept artificially low, presumably because so many Russians lack a steady income. With the safety net of the Soviet-era gone, it can be very scary to be unemployed. A former consulate employee who has neither job nor pension is scrambling in the new “gig economy” to fend for herself.

Politically, Russia has gone backward. A development we were pleased to see 25 years ago was the first direct elections for governor and mayor. For the first time,

Russian politicians had to “stump” for votes.

It didn’t last long. Today, under Putin, all regional officials are again appointed by Moscow. In fact, The Economist recently pointed out that Putin is rewarding some of his former bodyguards by appointing them to key regional positions. In Yekaterinburg, a governor and a “presidential representative,” both appointed by Putin, vie for an unclear mandate of authority.

Meanwhile, free expression in Putin’s Russia is allowed only within carefully calibrated parameters. Complaints about environmental issues, utility rate hikes, or the rise in the retirement age are all within bounds. In Yekaterinburg, local demonstrators occupied a park for almost a week to block construction by the Orthodox Church of a new cathedral. The people won; the area remains parkland. Elsewhere in Russia, people are demonstrating against government plans to build a large landfill. But when demonstrators in Moscow last week came out to protest against the exclusion of opposition candidates from upcoming local elections, they were violently dispersed, with more than 1,000 arrested.

One of the most surprising things we saw in Yekaterinburg was the new Yeltsin Presidential Library. In contrast to popular culture’s general criticism of Yeltsin (a native of Yekaterinburg), the Yeltsin Library presents him as a sympathetic, wellintentioned figure who sacrificed himself to create a modern Russia, but one who was also manipulated by the West.

Yekaterinburg is also ground zero for another re-write of history, this one playing into Putin’s narrative of Russia’s return to greatness. To recapture the symbols of the Czarist past, Putin sanctioned the building of an enormous new cathedral on the spot in Yekaterinburg where the royal family was executed by the Bolsheviks in 1919.

Thus, Czar Nicholas II (formerly “Bloody Nicholas”) has gone from being a hapless tyrant to a saint, and the scene of the executions is now one of the most revered places in Russia.

After 25 years, we found a vibrant region encompassing many contradictions: pride in Russia resuming its place on the world stage and pride in its beautiful cities; acceptance of Putin’s domination of their political future in exchange for a better standard of living; and eagerness for more contacts with America. We heard dismay over why U.S.Russia relations are so poor: Why we won’t just lift our sanctions and accept Russia’s rightful place in its “neighborhood” and its support for Russian-speakers in Ukraine.

Many refuse to believe our allegations of meddling in our elections, noting with irony that President Trump also seems to doubt these allegations.

Jack Segal and Karen Puschel Segal are retired U.S. diplomats who negotiated arms control agreements with the USSR, served in Moscow, and in 1994 opened the first western diplomatic mission east of the Urals.

One of Those Days Sometimes a routine traffic stop (in this case, for an expired license plate) is the most interesting incident in a cop’s day. So it was on July 10 for Guthrie, Oklahoma, police officers.

Around 11 a.m., they stopped a car driven

by Stephen Jennings, 40, who had a friend, Rachael Rivera, 30, in the front seat, and a timber rattlesnake in a terrarium on the back seat. Jennings told police he had a gun in the car at about the same time they identified the car as stolen, reported KFOR. Upon further search, officers found an open bottle of whiskey (next to the gun) and a container of “yellowish powder” labeled “uranium.” “The uranium is the wild card in that situation,” Guthrie Police Sgt. Anthony Gibbs explained.

Jennings told police he was trying to create a “super snake” with the radioactive uranium.

Charges for Jennings included possession of a stolen vehicle and transporting an open bottle of liquor. Because it was rattlesnake season, his valid hunting and fishing license absolved him of any charges related to the snake. Police are still trying to figure out what charges might be brought regarding the uranium.

Right Under Their Noses Capitol Police in Montpelier, Vermont, discovered dozens of cannabis plants growing in the flower beds along a walkway at the Statehouse on July 8. Police Chief Matthew Romei told NBC5 that it was unclear whether the more than 30 plants were marijuana or hemp, and they don’t know who planted them. But since there is no criminal case, officials don’t plan to have the plants tested. “It’s legal to cultivate, but there are limits on where you can do it, and the Statehouse flower beds certainly aren’t one of those permissible sites,” Romei said. “If there is a typical Vermont story, this is probably it.”

Secondhand High Dr. Scott Dolginow, owner of Valley Emergency Pet Care in Basalt, Colorado, has noticed a new trend among his dog patients.

He told The Aspen Times on July 11 that he’s seeing three to 10 dogs a week in his veterinary office with marijuana toxicity. No, they’re not toking alongside their owners around the fire pit. Dolginow’s theory is the dogs are eating human feces while on trails or camping with their owners and getting a secondhand buzz. Pet owner Rebecca Cole said her dog, Marty, started staggering, vomiting and urinating on the floor after hiking with her on a trail last spring. Cole took Marty to the vet, where “they said he was high. I couldn’t believe it because I don’t have anything in my house.” Dolginow said, “Most dogs will eat human feces given the opportunity.”

Awesome!

-- When not just any old Motel 6 will do, check into The Haneda Excel Hotel Tokyu, near Tokyo’s airport, and ask for the “Superior Cockpit Room.” Along with two beds, a bathroom and a table, the room features a full Boeing 737-800 flight simulator that offers guests the experience of piloting a full-size jet. According to United Press International, the room rents for $234 per night, but for a 90-minute simulator session with an expert, guests will have to cough up another $277. (The simulator can’t be used without supervision.) The room became available for booking on July 18.

-- Gen. Charles Etienne Gudin, one of Napoleon Bonaparte’s “favorite generals,” was killed by a cannonball on Aug. 22, 1812, during the failed French invasion of Russia.

Posthumously, he got the star treatment -- a street named after him in Paris, his name carved

on the Arc de Triomphe, and his heart removed and brought home to be placed in a Paris cemetery chapel. But on July 6, Reuters reported, a team of archaeologists found what they believe are his remains buried (ironically) beneath the foundation of a dance floor in Smolensk, Russia.

Their first clue? Gudin had lost one of his legs below the knee in battle, and indeed the skeleton was missing its left leg. Scientists will compare the skeleton’s DNA with living descendants of Gudin’s to confirm their suspicions.

That’s Not the Way It Works, Karen In Turkey’s new Istanbul Airport, a firsttime flyer had to be rescued on July 10 after she assumed the conveyor belt carrying luggage to the baggage sorting room was her path to the plane. The unnamed woman, juggling a carry-on and a shopping bag, stepped carefully up to the moving belt at the airport check-in and tried to climb on, but lost her balance and took a tumble. The Sun reported that airport personnel were quick to stop the conveyor belt and help her off.

McARDLE & McKECHNIE CELEBRATE SONDHEIM & HAMLISH “Broadway legends paying tribute to beloved musical theater greats in the best way they know how.”

Questionable Judgment A. Janus Yeager, 49, of Dixon, Illinois, was arrested on July 9 as she motored toward home with an inflated kiddie pool on the roof of her SUV. CBS2 Chicago reported that Dixon police officers pulled Yeager over after being alerted that there were two children in the pool. Yeager told police she took the pool to a friend’s house to inflate it, then had her daughters ride inside it “to hold it down on their drive home.” Yeager was charged with two counts of endangering the health or life of a child and two counts of reckless conduct.

Andrea McArdle and Donna McKechnie, two of Broadway’s most endearing leading ladies, who starred in two of Broadway’s most iconic shows (Annie and A Chorus Line) bring their ever vibrant talent and personal connection to this celebration of two of America’s most beloved musical theater composers: Stephen Sondheim and Marvin Hamlisch.

Bright Idea People in the United Arab Emirates depend heavily on expensive desalination for drinking water. But an Emirati businessman has a novel idea for providing fresh water to the Arabian gulf. Abdulla Alshehi wants to borrow an iceberg from Antarctica, EuroNews reported in May. For six years, Alshehi has been working on a plan to tow an iceberg, as much as 1.25 miles long and a third of a mile wide, the entire 5,500 miles to the UAE coast. He estimates the journey will take 10 months and the iceberg may lose about 30% of its mass, but Alshehi believes its presence could provide drinking water to about 1 million people for about five years. And that’s not all. “It’s expected that the presence of these icebergs may cause a weather pattern change (and) attract more rain to the region,” he said. A trial run this year will move a smaller iceberg, at a cost of $60 million to $80 million. Alshehi believes the cost of the larger project will be between $100 million and $150 million.

Mr. Guo in the Kitchen With a Ladle Nearly a year after chef Xiu Bin Wang, 33, was found dead in his room above China Chef carryout restaurant in Brockenhurst, Hampshire, England, police are still trying to figure out how he died, Metro News reported.

He apparently suffered a “forceful blow” to the head, and officials first fingered Zhu Long Guo, a colleague at the restaurant who admitted to striking Wang with a ladle during an altercation. “A ladle was seized, and there was a thorough investigation,” Detective Constable Brad Wanless reported at an inquest on July 11. But the coroner could not make a definite determination: “I do not accept that there is a clear causal link between the admitted blow with the ladle and the death of Mr. Wang,” senior coroner Grahame Short concluded.

All of your Broadway favorites are featured as these ladies take you on a musical journey including selections from Company, A Chorus Line, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, Follies, A Little Night Music, and They’re Playing Our Song.

20 FASCINATING

PEOPLE Every year, Northern Express reporters fan out across the North to find 20 average folks dedicating themselves to a not-so-average existence — people who parlay their passions into something bigger than themselves. Here, our picks for the unsung but undoubtedly fascinating people that reporters Patrick Sullivan, Al Parker, and Ross Boissoneau found for 2019:

Seth Beaudry The Adventurer Meet Seth, fun-loving 21-yearold and Traverse City resident. Like so many his age, Seth loves music, fashion, and outdoor sports. But Seth’s life diverged from most on the night of June 27, 2017, his 19th birthday, when he raced a car up Peninsula Drive in Traverse City at more than 100 mph, lost control, and struck a tree. He’s now paralyzed from the waist down.

Gone is the life he lived before: skateboarding with friends, cruising the streets, dancing. His daily life now includes excruciating pain — and 18 medications to manage it — yet his outlook is positively bright.

“Each day is a blessing. You know, I never thought this would happen. No one does. But what I’ve gained is worth more than any external pleasure I had before.”

Earlier this year he joined a mission trip to Guatemala, bringing antibiotics, eyeglasses, and supplies to villagers in the countryside.

Last winter he used a monoski to race down area ski hills once more, and this summer he got the chance to ride the waves on an adaptive wakeboard.

He’s growing his own apparel business, Arête, selling his self-designed shirts and hats online and at art fairs.

Seth’s also honing his skills as a public speaker, visiting schools and churches to tell his story and issue a wake-up call of sorts.

Lori Spielman The Bucket Lister

Al Anderson The Busy Body The owner of Betsie Bay Kayaks has always been a maker, since long before that term came into vogue. “I grew up on a farm,” he said. And he learned two things. One, there wasn’t much money, so if he wanted something, he had to make it himself. And two, he didn’t want to be a farmer. “I wanted to be Somebody. I failed at that,” he said with a laugh. Not necessarily. Anderson became a chiropractor and set up his practice in the Benzie area in the early ’80s. But he found his hobby — handcrafting high-performance kayaks in the

“Greenland style” (think sleek, lowvolume kayaks traditionally used by ancient Inuit hunters) — more enjoyable.

So he brought on another chiropractor, then sold the business to him. Thus was born Betsie Bay Kayaks, and according to Anderson, he hasn’t worked a day since. “I’m never working,” he said.

Despite the fact he’s designed and built hundreds of kayaks over the years. And he restores cars. And plays saxophone and keyboards in two bands. And built his own house — a geodesic dome. No, as long as he’s doing what he enjoys, it’s not work at all: “It’s more about the doing than it is about the having.”—RB

Writing a best-selling novel is a goal on a lot of people’s life lists. Longtime teacher Lori Spielman, however, went one better. After coming across her childhood hope chest, in which she found her first bank book, a couple silver dollars, her grandmother’s rosary, and her young self ’s life list, Spielman sat down and wrote a book called, fittingly, “The Life List.” In 2013, her book was published by Bantam Books/Random House. And then it was translated into 27 languages in 30 countries. And then the bestselling author quit teaching to write full-time. The journey wasn’t as easy as it might sound, Spielman said: “I wrote four [books and screenplays] before getting an agent. You have to be pretty tenacious.” Good thing she loves the process of writing, whether at home or on board her boat, sailing around northern Michigan. So how did she make out on that life list? Some hits, some misses. “On my original life list, which inspired the book, I said I’d live on a lake,” Spielman said. Check that one off: After years of fruitlessly scanning Zillow and Realtor.com, she and her husband found a place on Round Lake in Charlevoix. She hopes to spend more time there after her husband retires from his position as a professor at Michigan State. And she’ll continue writing — her second book, “Sweet Forgiveness” was published in 2015, and “Star-Crossed Sisters of Tuscany” is coming out April 2020. —RB

“There’s this form of entitlement everywhere. It needs to be said. I wish it didn’t take me being in a wheelchair to get this perspective and platform, but it is what it is. I cannot wait to bring in this amazing perspective of what I’ve learned through this struggle.”

And now he’s out on his own.

Earlier this year Beaudry moved into an apartment, and is, for the first time since the accident, “fully out on my own in this world.”

“I’m trying to make the extraordinary ordinary now,” he said, recalling just a few days prior when he and a friend brought a new sofa into his apartment. “It was so awesome. I felt empowered, you know? Basically, I’m just trying to get back up on my feet.

Literally.” —LH

Garth Ward The Swarm Trooper Got bees? Garth Ward can help. The self-described “Swarm Trooper” lives to rescue and remove honeybees and transport them to his Rock Ridge Ranch Bee Sanctuary in Grand Traverse County. Native honeybees, that is; not those aggressive visitors that are trucked around the country. “I want to promote and propagate local bees. The ones that are transported aren’t our friends. They attack and kill our hives,” he said. He said local bees are particularly at risk in the spring after wintering, before they can build up their strength. Bees can search for food for up to five miles from where they live, and if transported bees find a local hive while foraging, they’ll attack. “Their bees will sting to death every bee [in a hive].” Ward works to prevent such destruction. He steps in when an old queen breaks away from a hive to start a new colony. Generally, between 30 and 70 percent of the colony’s bees will follow, clustering around her in a ball on their journey to a new home. Ideally, Ward captures the bee ball in transit (rather than when it’s already taken up residence somewhere problematic, like in the wall of a house) and then finds it a new home, at his place, or somewhere else safe. “It’s not as glamorous as it seems,” he said with a laugh. “I’m a Vietnam veteran and former firefighter. Who better to run into a swarm of bees?”—RB

Mica Scotti Cole The Futurist As a youngster growing up in Kalkaska and Bellaire, Mica Scotti Cole spent a lot of time investigating other worlds, either in books or in her own imagination. “I always found the real world kind of boring,” she said. “I’ve been making up stories since I was playing with my Duplos.” It’s paid off. Today she works as an editor and writer, and she’s one of 12 authors who will be honored at the 35th Annual L. Ron Hubbard Achievement Awards in Los Angeles. Kole’s 1,800-word short story, “Are You the Life of the Party?” took third place in the international Writers of the Future contest and will be published in the science fiction anthology, L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers and Illustrators of the Future Volume 35. “The easiest way to be published is short stories,” she said, noting that it’s easier to create a believable sci-fi world similar to our own in short-form, rather than a fantasy world of magic and mayhem. She’s currently writing a series for young adult readers. —RB

Inanna Hauger The Single-Minded Snocrosser Colleges don’t offer scholarships for Snocross, an extreme sport that sees snowmobiles speed around a curvy track that stacked with jump after jump. That’s why Boyne City’s Inanna Hauger is spending a chunk of her summer traveling up and down the East Coast, taking part in soccer prospect camps where she hopes to impress college scouts.

Hauger was on the road when Northern Express tracked her down to talk to her about her “other” sport.

The 16-year-old is rated No. 4 in the world among women Snocrossers. That’s No. 4 overall — not for her age group.

Hauger said she got into the sport because it was a family thing. It was something her dad, Joe, did when she was little. Hauger first started racing (tiny) snowmobiles when she was five.

“My dad did it when he was a little bit younger, and all of my siblings and I, we started doing it as well,” she said.

Over the years, her siblings all gave it up to pursue other activities.

Not Hauger. Those years of experience have enabled her to rise up into the top tier of the sport. She travels to eight national events held across the northern part of the country each winter, and she races in several regional events. She knows that kind of rigorous schedule will be difficult to keep up once she starts college, so she hopes to become the sport’s topranked racer in the next two seasons.

“One day my goal is to be first, not fourth — because I don’t want to settle for fourth,” she said. —PS

Ruth Adamus The Everything Whisperer

Nadia Daniels-Moehle The Seer

Visitors to Mackinac Island should make sure to visit Ruth Adamus, manager of the Original Mackinac Island Butterfly House and Insect World.

The Michigan State University grad is a walking Wikipedia on butterflies, insects, and animals of all kinds. She’s loved them ever since she was a youngster growing up in Dearborn.

Adamus started at the butterfly house as an intern in 2012. But her love of travel and of animal interests go far beyond butterflies and bugs.

In 2012, while still at MSU, she went to Africa to study the biodiversity of apes and tropical birds while camping in the jungles of Uganda. During the spring of that year she was in Nicaragua, helping to build a cinder block home for a family of 12. Two years later, she was a volunteer in South Africa gathering data on Great White Sharks.

“Last year I went to the Monarch migration in Mexico,” said Adamus. “It was amazing.”

When winter comes and the island life slows down, Adamus can be found in Traverse City, often planning her next adventure.—AP

A year ago this June, 18-year-old Nadia Daniels-Moehle gave herself a challenge: She would create a complete piece of art every day for 365 days. Making it harder, each piece would be focused only on one thing: the eye. She produced quick sketches, portraits, elaborate paintings, photos, and writing, all of which can be viewed at at www.nadiacdm.com.

She called the project CognEYEzant, and though it ended June 20, her vision for it — to make viewers aware and knowledgable of the humanity within each of us — is ongoing.

“Even though I’ve finished the art, CognEYEzant isn’t over,”said Daniels-Moehle. “Now everyone can participate in the project. It’s easy — ask questions, make art, look at each other in the eyes, be curious. That’s what CognEYEzant is all about.”

Blink, and you might miss what else the energetic Benzie County teen (who also serves as an advisory board member for the Grace Community Birth Center in Haiti) has undertaken: Look Wonder Discover, a non-profit designed to cultivate curiosity, research, and create content supporting literacy and learning, creativity, and contemplation.

Mary Scholl The Runaway Bride Sometimes we just know when we’re home. Mary Scholl spent her honeymoon on Beaver Island, and on the boat back to the mainland she realized she wanted to stay on the island. Permanently. “I got on the boat to go home and started crying,” she said. So when she got back to Chicago, she packed her belongings and the store she had there, then moved herself and her then-husband to the island, where she promptly opened the Beaver Island Toy Museum. In actual-

ity, it is about one-quarter museum and three-quarters store. But don’t look for any video games or remote-controlled vehicles — no batteries here. Instead, she stocks a number of inexpensive pieces (even nickel toys) that are powered by the imagination, as well as items crafted from her own hands. In fact, that’s what keeps her occupied during the long winters when the Beaver Island Toy Museum is closed. “I make things — purses, jewelry, toys, cards, paintings,” she said.

Despite — or because of — its isolated nature, Scholl loves the island life. “It’s very quiet and very beautiful. It’s perfect for me.”—RB

Paul Stebleton The Time Traveler Paul Stebleton lives in an antiquated world he has built for himself. It’s full of weathered hardcover books, worn Persian carpets, and softly lit corners made cozy by floor-to-ceiling bookcases.

Stebleton opened Landmark Books in the Mercado at Grand Traverse Commons six years ago.

“I’m an admitted Luddite; technology isn’t necessarily my thing,” he said.

Stebleton also sells and services typewriters, which he likes because of the connection the machines offer to a different age, one where writers imprinted their words in black ink onto pieces of paper. Those machines have no delete keys or cutand-paste functions; you can’t waste time on the internet with a typewriter.

“I’m a writer, and when I started writing, I started writing on a typewriter,” Stebleton said. “I still use a typewriter because it connects you to how the writing process used to be done.”

Stebleton knew he was going against the grain when he started brick-and-mortar Landmark Books in the age of Amazon, e-readers, and small bookshops folding across America, but he said he wanted to start a bookstore of the kind he liked to go to when he was in college 30 years ago. He specializes in classic literature and poetry and carries mostly hardcover books. He sells lots of signed copies and first editions.

“I felt that there was a need in town for it,” he said.

He also runs an independent publishing company that’s put out chap books of his own poetry, as well as works by some well-known local authors, such as Fleda Brown and Michael Delp. Every year Landmark Books hosts a “type-in” and a haiku contest.

Stebleton said he likes the interesting people and surprising old books that make their way into his store.

“What’s great about this business is every day I learn something,” he said. —PS

Jason Kasdorf The Beer Sommelier Jason Kasdorf recalls a moment years ago when he read a magazine profile about the manager of a restaurant chain who had curated a beer menu and, as a result, was constantly receiving samples of beers from around the world.

At the time, Kasdorf — then a working sculpture artist with a deep appreciation for the art of beer — could only dream of being in such a position.

Today, as general manager of 7 Monks Taproom in Traverse City, he has learned the truth about the kind of management role he coveted.

“Prior to this, I always thought it would be a dream job,” he said, “and it turns out, it is.”

Kasdorf got his shot through a happy series of coincidences. A decade ago, while living in Colorado with his wife, he decided that he’d like to work in the beer industry. Colorado’s craft brewing scene was well-established, and he was living near some of the world’s best breweries.

That inspired him to get certified through the Cicerone Certification Program in Chicago, a school that offers something akin to a sommelier status, but for beer. Kasdorf successfully attained a level one certificate.

Nowadays, a level one certificate is required to work as a bartender at 7 Monks, but back in 2011, when Kasdorf ’s wife took a new job at Interlochen and the couple moved to Traverse City, Cicerones were hardly common Up North. When he caught wind of a new tap room that was going to specialize in curated beer menus, Kasdorf introduced himself; he said his certificate was the edge that enabled him to get the job not only managing the tap room but also designing its beer menu.

Kasdorf has since attained a level two Cicerone certification and said he plans to attempt level three. As for level four, which would make him a Master Cicerone, there are only 13 in the world who’ve achieved that level. Will Kasdorf go for it? Given the amount of study time, he says, likely not. He might just be too busy organizing the incoming samples.—PS

20 FASCINATING PEOPLE Rebecca Russell The Tool Lady

Rebecca Russell downplays her knowledge of tools and ability to figure out solutions to construction problems; she insists her co-workers downstairs at Ace Hardware in Traverse City are just as knowledgeable as her.

But a lot of contractors, carpenters, and construction workers see it differently. They seek out Russell whenever they’ve got tough questions. They call her the “tool lady.”

When pressed, Russell conceded she’s developed a certain reputation for knowledgeability, but she maintained the workers around her have, too.

“I mean, I get fellas that will come down and say, ‘Somebody said you’re the one to talk to,’” she said.

When Russell started at Ace 15 years ago, she was just looking for a steady paycheck.

She’s since grown to love her job.

“I started as a cashier. I needed a job. I had been working at Joann’s [Fabrics and Crafts], and the hours were inconsistent,” she said.

At Ace, the hours were full-time, and she got benefits. As a new mom, she needed those.

Over time Russell moved from the cash register to the tool department, and over the years she said, she learned things; whenever she doesn’t know, she’s got friends who she can call to ask what they think.

Most of all, though, she likes her job because it’s enjoyable to meet the customers.

“I like seeing what folks are working on and what they’re doing with their hands,” she said. “I like being able to help people. That’s the enjoyable part for me.” —PS

Lindsey Anderson The Voice

Lindsay Anderson wanted to be a doctor. She was majoring in premed at Saint Mary’s College when a choir audition changed her life. “I went to college with the intention of studying medicine when I discovered I could sing,” she said, almost wonderingly. Struck by her voice, the director suggested she at least minor in music. “I fell in love with opera and dove in headfirst,” Anderson said. Why opera? Anderson said it’s what her voice was meant for. “I’m a dramatic mezzo soprano. It’s not ‘Queen of the Night’ coloratura. It’s more the lady with the horns,” she said with a laugh.

Already she’s performed at Carnegie Hall, with the Toledo Opera, Winter Opera St. Louis, and others.

She will make her local debut next month as part of the Interlochen Artists at Kirkbride Hall series.

Her day job is coordinator of artist relations and administration at Interlochen, a role she said appeals to both sides of her brain. After she changed her major from pre-med to music, she said, “I got interested in the business side of music and got my MBA from Davenport.” But wait, there’s more: “I just started Traverse City Opera. The first two years we’ll be doing operatic hits paired with spoken word.” Any other musical aspirations? “I love to play ukulele. It’s a really fun outlet.”

Eric Stanfield The Crusader for Kids After 15 years in construction management, Eric Stanfield joined some old friends to work on a charitable project in Belize in 2016. The experience altered the course of his life.

Stanfield, who spoke from the outskirts of Kampala, Uganda, his adopted home, said he decided he was unfulfilled working in construction and living in Traverse City and that he needed to follow a new path.

“I was not fulfilled at all, and there was something that was just wrenching at my heart,” the 36-year-old said.

So Stanfield joined friends Jason and Brenda Sommer on trips to other third-world countries to work on projects that could help children at risk of falling into prostitution. After visiting 17 countries, they learned that, while it’s possible to keep children out of the hands of sex traffickers, once the kids turned 18, they were prone to entering that world unless they had some other way to make a living.

“It’s sad. It’s a dark world,” Stanfield said.

The friends decided to start a vocational school in Uganda that could teach children from eastern Africa practical job skills like construction and restaurant management.

Stanfield ultimately moved there when he met a Ugandan woman and got married. The couple are expecting their first child this month.

He said he’s satisfied and fulfilled by the dramatic turn he’s taken in life, but admits it’s hard to make such a drastic change and wouldn’t recommend it to everybody.

“It’s not easy. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it, I’ll tell you that,” he said.

20 FASCINATING PEOPLE Scot Little Bihlman The Rock ’n’ Roll Journeyman Scot Little Bihlman, of the now-defunct and onceTraverse City-based rock band the Bihlman Brothers, recently got a chance to play in the rhythm section of a piece of rock-and-roll history.

Bihlman, who lives in Los Angeles, recently recorded on a John Fogerty track to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Fogerty’s appearance with Creedence Clearwater Revival at Woodstock.

Bihlman said the experience was mind-blowing, and the resulting record is great.

“It’s your classic straight-up John Fogerty magic, you know,” Bihlman said. “It was about as old school as you could get.”

Bihlman owned a house in Traverse City for about a decade beginning in the late 1990s and returned in 2011 to work on a reality television show with his brother, Jeff Bihlman. (Jeff Bihlman now serves as the musical director for the Traverse City Film Festival.)

The brothers spent just over a year working on the television show, but it never aired.

Scot Bihlman said he doesn’t get back to northern Michigan that often, but he’s about to record a solo album and hopes to release soon. Once he does, he said he wants to play a concert somewhere around Traverse City.

He promised that the new record would feature some “heavyweight guest stars,” and said that in addition to drums, he’s going to sing and play guitar. —PS

Tabatha Watkins The Batgirl Tabatha “Batgirl” Watkins has been a mixed martial arts fighter for six years and a professional for two.

The Grayling native said she took up fighting sports after high school; she had started a year-long internship at an engineering company in her home town and wanted to take up a new activity to stay in shape.

“I wanted something to stay active,” she said. “I was always into sports.”

It just so happened that she could study jujitsu at a Grayling gym, an endeavor that would offer physical fitness and teach self-defense. Watkins was soon hooked, so she expanded into other martial arts.

The 24-year-old turned pro in 2017 but said it is not easy to be an MMA fighter based in Grayling.

“It’s a lot harder than people think,” Watkins said.

“There’s really not a gym in Grayling or near Grayling that is of the caliber of the gyms downstate.”

For specialized training, she travels at least once a week to a gym in Brighton, a two-and-a-half-hour drive. On other days, she trains at the Grayling Fitness Center, where she also works as a fitness coach. When she’s got a fight coming up, she trains at least four hours a day, six days a week. If there is no fight scheduled, she trains anyway.

Since turning pro, her record is 3-2, though the losses came earlier this year in fights she accepted on short notice because they gave her the chance to fight for a higher profile organization.

She fights in the “atom” weight class, the lightest, and there is only one other fighter in that class based in Michigan, so Watkins doesn’t have a lot of readily available opponents.

Nonetheless, her ambition is to one day be world champion in her class.

Watkins, who goes by Batgirl in the ring, said she recommends mixed martial arts to any girl who’s interested because of how it develops physical and mental fitness.

“It helps so much with self-confidence and with fitness,” Watkins said. “It’s a very good workout.” —PS

Bernie Friedrich The Green-maker For more than half a century, golf has played a major role in Bernie Friedrich’s life.

Starting as a boy playing on the public courses of Midland where he would play from sunup to sundown for 75 cents, Friedrich has built a career around the game. For 43 years he’s been at Boyne Resorts in a variety of golf positions. In June the senior vice president of golf and resort sales was elected to the Michigan Golf Hall of Fame.

But, perhaps, the most impact he’s made on the game is the development of a unique dynamic-pricing model that has resulted in the Boyne courses setting revenue records every year since launching it in 2015 — and courses around the country and world following suit. Rather than setting rates based on projected, or assumed, demand, the system sets up two-hour tee-time blocks with different fees and adjusts them according to actual demand. “A tee-time from 8 to 10[am] would cost more than one from 10 to noon,” he explained. “For the golfer who is flexible with his time, he can save money by just waiting a bit longer.”

Friedrich — who has been active with First Tee of Northern Michigan, the Michigan Golf Course Association, and the Michigan PGA — is a twotime Michigan PGA Golf Professional of the year (1998 and 2001). He’s also co-founded the annual Harbor Cup golf event, which has raised more than $400,000 for food projects in northern Michigan. Nevertheless, he’s humble about his contributions to golf — his industry transforming pricing model included: “Hotels and airlines have been doing it for years.”—AP

20 FASCINATING PEOPLE

Daniel Côté The Bullet Biter That an award-winning magazine with a devoted world-wide readership came about because a tiny gun show in Fife Lake inspired a guy is incredible. But what’s perhaps more impressive? That guy and his wife have been publishing the magazine from their Charlevoix County home for 20 years.

Joanna and Daniel CÔté’s Double Gun Journal is an elegant and hefty publication devoted to the love and lore of ancient firearms — something Daniel CÔté saw at the small event he attended in Fife Lake two decades ago and was eager to learn more about. Problem was, publications about old firearms simply didn’t exist then.

“There was nothing like this before,” said CÔté. “We saw a need for something and filled it, on a shoestring.”

Their first press run was only 2,000 copies, but the issues quickly sold, and another 2,000 were printed.

They, too, quickly sold. On eBay today, signed copies of that first issue sell for $150 to $200, while other early issues go for $50 or more, even in well-used condition.

The quarterly publication, which features an impressive leather-like cover and stunning photography, is now distributed in 40 foreign countries. “Our growth has been mostly word of mouth and through our Facebook page,” said Daniel CÔté. The pair relies on a team of writers and photographers from around the world who share their expertise and love of historic weapons with the journal’s readers. —AP

Kennith Scott The Transcendent

Norm Fred The River Guard Norm Fred launched Boardman River Clean Sweep in 2004 when he and a few others did a small project of pulling trash from the river. The following year he had 80 people lending a hand in the Annual Boardman River Clean Sweep. Now they routinely clean not only the Boardman, but the Au Sable and Manistee rivers, too.

“A lot of people helped get it started,” said the 80-year-old former Coast Guard dentist who sprinkles his history of the group with a dose of humor. Last year the group expanded its efforts, cleaning up dump sites along the rivers and in wooded areas. The river-loving volunteers completed 55 cleanups last year.

Originally from Georgia, Fred “fell in love with the Great Lakes” during his Coast Guard years. He moved to Traverse City in 1972 and loves to spend time on area rivers.

Following those early years, the organization grew in popularity and there are now Clean Sweep efforts on several other Michigan rivers. “That’s something I’m most proud of,” said Fred. “For the folks in the group, it’s not work. They love to be on the river.” —AP

Part engineer, part lean-manufacturing champion, part teacher, and all curious. That’s Traverse City’s Kennith Scott in a nutshell.

Scott — who previously worked at Northwestern Michigan College in lean manufacturing and training and today works at Bay Motor Products — is a mechanical engineer who is also trained in nuclear physics. He has a special interest in quantum physics, epigenetics, and brain science. But it isn’t only the measurable, tested, and proven that fascinates Scott. Since 2012, the engineer has been practicing yoga and meditation. Today, he also teaches at New Moon Yoga, owned by his wife, Jessica Merwin.

He hosts seminars, too. His most recent: Quantum Spirituality, which explored the boundaries of physics and our understanding of what makes the material world material.

“We experience three-dimensional solid matter, but at the quantum level, everything emerges from fields of energy,” he said. That’s how Scott believes something like Reiki — an ancient Japanese technique of transferring energy to heal — can physically impact people. “It’s easier to see how someone’s energy field could affect you.” That’s also the background from which he poses the question, “What if our mental model of reality is the only barrier between us and spirit?” Om. —RB

Chef’s notes a local chef’s recipe we love, brought to you by fustini’s

I am lucky that I work in the profession that I’ve wanted to work in since childhood. Getting to work in an industry where I can grow and learn every day is very rewarding — and getting to do that in Traverse City, a place I fell in love with 16 years ago, is a dream. I believe this dish is an ideal dinner to enjoy on West End Tavern’s deck while overlooking one of this city’s greatest assets: Grand Traverse Bay. The creaminess of the polenta help cut richness of the scallops and the earthiness of the mushroom ragu. I hope you enjoy this dish and the view of Traverse City.

— Executive Chef Scott Turner, West End Tavern

Boyne City’s Bella Vita The word is out.

By Geri Dietz “We’re off the beaten path, and we don’t advertise,” said Kelly Woodard, who co-owns with her husband, Mike Woodard, Boyne City’s popular Italian dining destination Bella Vita.

While it’s not a traditional recipe for restauranteurs, the Woodards’ low-key approach works; Kelly Woodard said that the majority of their regular guests dine with them more than once a week during the summer season.

“We rely on word of mouth,” she said. “If you love us, you will be back, and most likely tell a friend or two along the way — or, as we have discovered, you’ll bring them with you the next time you visit.”

Bella Vita occupies a tidy, plain structure that spent many, many decades as a roadhouse, under different names and different ownership, but its current iteration is by far the best: Bella Vita combines carefully prepared fine foods with the conviviality of a friendly tavern in a setting that is comfortable, accommodating, and without pretention or gimmick. Bright white linens play off a neutral grey and black palette with bronze accents, and the walls are alive with vivid artwork, produced locally, and available for purchase. (With a few exceptions Kelly refuses to part with.)

Bella Vita’s focus is primarily on northern Italian cuisine, and some dishes reflect a northern Michigan influence. But like any successful restaurateur, Kelly Woodard is pragmatic: “If we find something that makes us smile and not want to put down the fork, we are not afraid to put it on our feature menu.”

Bella Vita sources ingredients from local farm markets and vendors whenever possible, but every ingredient, regardless of its provenance, is sourced with great care: “Our breads are artisan made. Some of our pastas are fresh, some are flown in, and some are dried, depending on what is going to provide the best outcome.”

BEGINNINGS A favorite appetizer is the Pizzetta con Aglio Cambozola, a warm platter bearing fresh slices of rosemary pizza bread, heads of caramelized roasted garlic, and a wedge of Cambozola, a ripened cheese with the

creaminess of a Camembert and the sharp flavor of Gorgonzola.

Carpaccio, the northern Italian version of steak tartare, is another popular dish. Paperthin slices of raw tenderloin are served with lemon, olive oil, mustard, basil, capers, and Parmesan-Reggiano. Great carpaccio, some say, is the sign of a truly excellent Italian restaurant.

WHAT’S FOR DINNER Diners will find the Italian standards: classic Minestrone, Caesar salad, fettuccine Alfredo, and four-meat and cheese lasagna.

“Our lasagna, tortellini, and gnocchi are amazing, and definite people pleasers,” said Woodard, “but my favorite is the linguini frutto di mare, pasta with shrimp, scallops, mussels, and roasted garlic in either a housemade marinara sauce or tossed in oil and garlic … I get both!”

Beef, chicken, and seafood dishes are well-represented, too: There’s filet with gorgonzola and ribeye with morels and red wine sauce; traditional veal parmesan; and the house dish, veal sautéed with butter, garlic, parsley, and a mushroom blend.

Diners can also choose between lemony chicken piccata or chicken toscano, a parmesan-encrusted chicken breast with pink peppercorn béchamel sauce. Fresh fish, jumbo sea scallops, and shrimp scampi round out the entrées.

“Our most popular dish, hands down, is our walleye, which is surprising for an Italian restaurant, I know,” Woodard explains. For the uninitiated, walleye is a sweet, mild coldwater fish found in numerous lakes in the northern United States and Canada. And, in the northern Michigan region, where most restaurants feature the popular whitefish, walleye is a formidable alternative. Bella Vita’s is prepared pan-fried in a mozzarella crust, served with an alternating chef ’s sauce. “People call in to make sure that we have it, even before they make a reservation,” Woodard adds. “But we will never run out, so there’s nothing to fear.”

THE BACKBONE The Woodards are confirmed “restaurant people,” with years of combined experience.

Kelly Woodard said she dreamed of owning her own place since she was a teenager. “My parents thought I was crazy,” she says, but

20 • august 05, 2019 • Northern Express Weekly

they nevertheless helped her with start-up funds and continue to be loyal supporters.

And the Bella Vita staff gets high marks, too.

“The staff here is absolutely unbeatable,” said Woodard. “We’re a seasonal restaurant, and it’s difficult to keep your team around during the off season, but here it’s much more like a family … I can’t say enough about our level of appreciation for the people who sacrifice their family and free time to help us achieve our mission.”

THE DETAILS Appetizers are priced from $13-$16, soups are $5–$6, and salads start at $8. Pasta entrées range from $16 to $28, with other entrees up to $34. Dishes can be prepared gluten-free upon request. And, Bella Vita sometimes takes its show on the road, catering for small dinners and parties as large as 300. Bella Vita is located at 02911 Boyne City Road in Boyne City. Find them online at bellavitaboyne.com or call 231582-3341. Reservations are preferred.

“The mission of our restaurant is to provide a true dining experience. We strive to create an inviting atmosphere that encourages guests to stay just a little longer. Our goal is to make dining with us your destination, as opposed to a stop along the way. Sit, sip, laugh, eat and enjoy.

We establish a personal connection with those who dine with us as often as we can. We know your name, your favorite table, and typically have your cocktails waiting for you upon your arrival. We pride ourselves on getting to know our patrons, hearing their stories, and sharing in their lives.”—Kelly Woodard

Many Regions, Many Flavors Bella Vita excels in producing all the nuanced flavors of Italian cuisine, but especially the northern regions. Understanding the culinary differences lends another level of enjoyment for diners. Italy is a small county, about the size of Arizona, with 20 different regions, each one having its own distinct foods and flavors, mainly based on geography.

Northern Italy shares its border with Switzerland, France, and Austria, and the cooler northern climate means a shorter growing season. As a result, it’s a land dominated by pasture not field. Grazing sheep, goats, and cows produce the milk that goes into the famous Parmesan Reggiano, pecorino, asiago, and gorgonzola cheeses. The pastures also produce prime meats, including veal, and highly flavored, salted preserved meats such as salami and prosciutto. Soups are rich and hearty, and sauces typically use butter and cream as their base. Pastas are egg-based, and a variety of herbs and garlic are used to create non-tomato based sauces such as pesto.

Waterfront Art Fair, 2019 always the 2nd Saturday in August Sixty-one years in East Park

This year held on Saturday, August 10 Held in grassy East Park on Round Lake, the natural harbor between Lakes Michigan and Charlevoix, where the variety of art, the range of technique and the array of colors across the park, make the Charlevoix Art Fair a spectacular visual experience.

COURTNEY DEYOUNG - porcelain jewelry Courtney DeYoung of Columbus, Ohio, carefully crafts unique jewelry from ceramic clay, and handpaints the pieces with an artist’s eye for vibrant color and design. DeYoung received her BFA from the Columbus College of Art and Design, where she concentrated on painting and was exposed to silver making. “I approach my work with a strong connection to materials, skill and process...My work is slow and sincere,” she said.

She creates her carefully crafted collection one piece at a time in her home studio. Her work continues to evolve into vibrant, detailed porcelain pieces that Waterfront Art Fair patrons anticipate. “Ceramic clay offers a perfect surface for delicate detail,” she said. “To begin, I emboss my designs into a thin layer of clay and cut the shape of each pendant so to compliment the final composition,” she said. her motifs are largely floral, though her subject matter and color palette are “varied and always expanding.

ANDY FLETCHER - painting Harkening from Stoddard, Wisconsin, artist Andy Fletcher, is a most anticipated exhibitor at the Charlevoix Waterfront Art Fair. He paints expansive midwestern landscapes that hint of the nostalgia of the family farm.

It has been said that his style is similar to that of the late Lars-Birger Sponberg who showed his work at the Waterfront Art Fair for over fifty years, where Fletcher met him and immediately made a connection. “People say that I am following in his footsteps. The only painting I have ever bought was at the Charlevoix Waterfront Art Fair from Lars. It was surreal to have the tables turned on me and for once be the buyer instead of the seller...the experience helped me better relate to my clients,” he said. Fletcher finds Charlevoix and the beauty of the area inspiring...” This show is a favorite of the artist. “There are more good artists at this show than at many of the bigger more well-known shows in the country. I think it is a credit to the history of great people being behind the scenes running the show, the people in the area that support the show, and show director Mary Beth McGraw, who is fabulous and makes it fun to be here,” he said.

SUSAN KLINE - mixed media collage paintings

LEAH DZIEWIT - fiber art “I live in Leelanau County in Northern Michigan and am inspired by the small portion of the earth that I embrace daily,” said Leah Dziewit, fiber artist who will be exhibiting her unique designs at this year’s Charlevoix Waterfront Art Fair.

Dziewit’s fibers express the texture and the color of nature. “My latest body of work includes lichens, mosses, trees and branches.” I dye my textiles using direct application, immersion, and resist techniques.

The clothing is designed to be the background or canvas for appliqué and piecework. I choose to work in silk and linen first because they are natural fibers but second because of the drape and feel of the texture,” she said. Shirting and free stitch also enhance the texture of many of her fabrics. Her colors are drawn from the natural world... from the blue-green of the lichens to the deep green and gold of moss and the diverse color of bark.

Susan Kline, of Peru, Indiana, is a self-taught artist who has been painting for thirty-eight years, twenty of which have been in the area of fine art. She has been in the Art Fair business for the last eight years. Within her chosen medium of two-dimensional mixed media, Kline creates collage paintings. She begins with a piece of wood, applying old book pages, sheet music, and found papers. She then adds cut-outs from hand-painted and mono-printed papers in layers. The final step of oil pastels and pencil are then added “with lots of love,” she would say. “I begin with a thumbnail sketch and build from there. My paintings often take on a life of their own.” I love to sell my art to people who really love it and it brings them happiness.

KATIE MUSOLFF - painting

ALICE MCLEAN - metal construction Alice McLean and her late husband Jack shared their life and studio for almost 40 years. A self-taught artist in her own right, she attributes her knowledge of molding metal into works of art to him. “He taught me to let the elements of metal, chemical and fire guide my work. The dialogue begins when the bronze inspires me and then resists me. It continues as I impose my design ideas on the metal and when the metal leads me. I must be ready,” she writes in an article for Artful Home Magazine, “to let the story change as the transformation of metal and the alchemy of patina happens.

Katie Musolff, watercolor artist from Vernon County, Wisconsin finds her inspiration on the backwaters of the Mississippi River. She grew up in the Milwaukee area in a creative family and graduated with a BFA from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design in 2004. She attributes “learning watercolors as a second language” from her father. After working in the city for a while, “I met a man (fellow artist Andrew Fletcher), and followed him to my present home in Stoddard, Wisconsin,” she said. Here I discovered a richly layered natural world filled with specimens to collect with stories to tell... it’s like being a kid again ... going outside to find what little adventures lay beyond the back door and coming home to the studio, jacket pockets packed with treasures.” Musolff has been practicing watercolors and gouache, her mediums of choice, since she was nine years old. Now, Musolff, specializes in depicting the wildlife and foliage she gathers along the Mississippi: dead animals, plants, birds, insects, all of which speak to her of the correlation between living things and their inevitable conclusion of death.

Musolff, like her husband Andy Fletcher, finds the “pristine beauty of the natural surroundings and the strong character of the town” inspiring as an artist. “The quality of the art is strong at the Waterfront Art Fair and the concern for maintaining it persists...this is so important as a participating artist because we have to hold each other up at the show,” she said.

When Creighton and McKenzie Gallagher host the Third Annual St. Jude Sunset in the Vines at Rove Estate later this month, it will be about more than just raising some money for a good cause. The event has become even more personal for them.

“My family always supported St. Jude.

My second daughter had a cleft palate.

We spent a lot of time at DeVos Children’s Hospital” in Grand Rapids, McKenzie Gallagher said. Some of her daughter’s recovery time was spent on the oncology ward, where the family often saw kids undergoing treatment for cancer. That heightened their awareness of the health battles some children faced.

Then, little more than a year after opening Rove, Gallagher herself was diagnosed with breast cancer.

“In September 2017 I was diagnosed with cancer. I had six months of chemotherapy.

I was really sick, with a very low white cell count.” She had to wear a mask even at home to prevent the spread of germs and potentially deadly infections.

She was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. That means that the three most common types of hormone receptors that fuel most breast cancer growth —estrogen, progesterone, and the HER-2/neu gene — are not present in the cancer tumors. Since the tumor cells lack the necessary receptors, common treatments like hormone therapy and drugs that target estrogen, progesterone, and HER-2 are ineffective. Instead, chemotherapy is the best — sometimes the only — option.

Enduring the treatments wasn’t easy, but something else made the process even harder for her. “I saw children getting infusion while I got infusions,” Gallagher said.

And, with four young children of her own, ages 2, 4, 6, and 9, plus a new business, the timing couldn’t have been much worse.

“My family was impacted. The children had a hard time. I had long hair, and to see me bald was hard for them. I let them pick out my wig and headwrap. That brought some normalcy.”

With help from their extended family and friends, they were able to get through.

“I think it made us stronger. You appreciate the little things. My husband’s family and my family are very large. They all were very helpful with kids’ appointments and extracurricular activities. The community support — all that made a huge difference. I couldn’t do anything. It was such a blur.”

She’s now been cancer free for a year and is looking forward to being able to give back again through the fundraiser they had

launched well before her own diagnosis.

Sunset in the Vines will take place Aug. 21 at the winery, located on M-72 just west of Traverse City. The first year it raised nearly $50,000. Last year the event raised just shy of $100,000 for the hospital. Gallagher laughed at the prospect of doubling it again this year, though she’s hopeful it will best last year’s total. As always, 100 percent of the money raised goes to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

The event includes a catered dinner by Uptown Catering, live music by TC Celtic, a local patient speaker, and — of course — wine from Rove Estate.

Tickets are $100. VIP tickets are also available at $175 per person or $300 per pair, which include the above plus appetizers and hors d’oeuvres an hour before the event officially opens and unlimited wine (regular tickets provide two wine tickets each). There will also be a live and silent auction; prizes include tickets to Criss Angel’s show in Las Vegas, which he donated when he appeared earlier this year at Leelanau Sands. The event runs from 6pm to 9:30pm.

Tickets can be purchased online at stjude. org/sunsetinthevines. Anyone interested in sponsorship opportunities can contact Gallagher at mckenzie@roveestate.com.

SUMMER 2019

Mark Brown

SUMMER 2019

Jim Crockett

SUMMER 2019 Aug. 9 LADY ANTEBELLUM with Kylie Morgan Mark Brown and Jim Crockett jamming in the ’70’s

By Ross Boissoneau When old friends gather together, the years slip away. On Aug. 8, it won’t be years, it’ll be decades, as pals Jim Crockett and Fred Ball will be joined onstage at the Old Art Building in Leland by a musical compadre from their past.

“I’m looking forward with great anticipation to this concert. I’m very fond of those two guys and the music they’ve written,” said Mark Brown from his home in Washington state.

For their part, both Ball and Crockett are anticipating good times when they reunite with their long-lost musical brother. “I’m really looking forward to it. It’ll be fun. I just hope somebody shows up,” said Ball with a laugh.

“Musically we fit so well back in the old days. We used to have a lot of fun sitting in the living room drinking a couple beers, playing music,” said Crockett “I haven’t seen Mark since 1978.”

That’s because after a few years playing in the Traverse City area, Brown struck out with his then-wife to make his musical mark elsewhere, landing first in Virginia, then Denver, then Washington. He hasn’t been back to this northern Michigan since. “I was playing with my wife at the time, just starting out doing music. I wanted to see what was out there,” said Brown.

While in Denver, he composed a musical, which was produced for the stage at the Jewish Community Center in Denver.

Brown then moved to Seattle, where he recorded two albums of original material and composed a second musical, which also graced the stage.

Tiring of the road, Brown pursued

Fred Ball

another avenue, eventually getting a doctorate in psychology, opening his own practice and running a number of centers for low-income and homeless people. He still found time for music, doing more recording and performing in clubs in the Walla Walla area, where he now resides.

While Brown decamped for other locales, Crockett and Ball remained in the area. Both continued making music while working other jobs — Crockett as an instructor at NMC and Ball following through on his architectural education. Among Ball’s early efforts: converting the Glen Arbor Roller Mills from a grist mill into a recording studio, where he worked with Crockett, Brown, and many others.

“I got out of architecture school and moved up here a couple years later,” he said.

“I didn’t want to jump right into architecture, so I bought the old mill.

“I had an interest in recording, so it became a 16-track recording studio. It wasn’t really a business model, but it was something I wanted to do. I met a lot of interesting people. Jimmy Buffet came by, Luther Allison recorded there, [Interlochen alums] Dave Sporny and Bruce Dunlap.”

Ball now owns and runs his own architectural firm in Harbor Springs.

Crockett was the first of the trio on the scene, and the only one who hasn’t moved.

He’s been in Kingsley since 1970. “I was looking for a quiet place to farm and raise a family,” he said. And, of course, to write and play music. “I’ve been writing and singing songs all my life.” That includes writing “The Manistee River,” one of the best-known folk anthems to come out of the area, which tells the musical tale of a family’s troubles being

washed away by the currents of the river.

These days Crockett regularly performs with a trio and will be bringing his lead guitarist to the show with him. He’ll play guitar and sing, as will Ball. Brown plays keyboards and some trumpet and sings as well. They’ll likely trade songs and vocals, backing up one another. “We’ll get together and run though a few tunes, mostly for the fun of it,” said Crockett For his part, Ball said he hopes to have some things worked out ahead of time. “Jim, he likes to wing things. Mark and I want a little more structure,” Ball said with a laugh.

“We want to try to learn each other’s songs.”

Veteran music promoter Seamus Shinners was part of the driving force behind the reunion show. “Seamus is the other tie,” said Brown. “I’d known him since freshman year of high school. They [Shinners and his wife, Jacki] lived with us. I’d been in touch with Seamus once in a while. He said a couple of times, ‘I could put together a gig.’”

So Brown took the hint — finally — and set the wheels in motion. “Mark called me out of the blue,” said Shinners. “He said, ‘Do you think you can set something up?’ It’s fun for me to put three old friends together and see what musical sparks come out of it.”

Ball said music has been a constant companion for him. “It keeps me from going nuts. It’s cheaper than a psychologist.”

It’s up to them to decide if the fact Brown now makes his living as a psychologist is a coincidence or not.

SIGRID MISSES HER OWN VIDEO SHOOT

Sigrid

ROCK

BY KRISTI KATES

Musicians often know how to improvise well — and sometimes, that particular skill or ability extends beyond the music itself.

When Norwegian pop singer-songwriter Sigrid wasn’t able to make it to her music video shoot with director Max Siedentopf because of delayed flights, Sigrid and Siedentopf devised a plan that made the video as watch-worthy as if Sigrid had made it to the location. The solution? Siedentopf stepped in for Sigrid, lip-syncing the words to her latest track, “Mine Right Now,” and even performed her choreography, which included Siedentopf gallivanting through fields and fighting a (real) windstorm. That footage was alternated with FaceTime clips of Sigrid singing along on her phone, plus behind-the-scenes clips of the crew trying to keep the whole thing from falling apart …

Wilco has added even more dates to its upcoming North American fall tour, such as a second show at NYC’s Brooklyn Steel (Oct. 13). Wilco’s first U.S. tour since 2017 will also include stops in Toronto (Oct. 8 at Budweiser Stage), Grand Rapids (Nov. 4 at 20 Monroe Live), Ann Arbor (Nov. 5 at Hill Auditorium), and Indianapolis (Nov. 12 at the Murat Theater). Before the band hit the road, singer Jeff Tweedy managed to release two solo albums and a memoir …

Michiganian Madonna is but one subject of Madonna’s Madame X Radio, an exclusive channel on SiriusXM dedicated to the Detroit pop star. The satellite radio channel is showcasing Maddie’s career from her earliest days in the Motor City, through her time in New York, and onward as she climbed to super diva status. Music from her prior albums and single releases, as well as from her current album, Madame X, will also be included, as will some behind-thescenes chatter about Madonna’s history and how Madame X was recorded …

Vintage ’80s pop musician Elvis Costello and his band, The Imposters, are prepping to kick off their Just Trust North America tour this upcoming fall. The tour will kick off in Charlottesville, Virginia, and will take the recently O.B.E. (Order of the British Empire) honoree and his band through two dozen or so live show dates, including nearby stops in Ann Arbor (Nov. 20 at the Michigan Theater), Chicago (Nov. 22 at the Chicago Theater), and Minneapolis (Nov. 23 at the State Theater). The trek will run through the end of November, wrapping up in Milwaukee on Nov. 26 …

LINK OF THE WEEK R&B singer Daniel Caesar has released a brand new album, Case Study 01, without any announcements or warning — and

the second surprise of the album is that he’s managed to lure R&B veteran Brandy out of her hiatus to sing with him on the duet “Love Again.” Check out their complimentary vocals now at youtube.com/ watch?v=nikY4hn25Yo …

THE BUZZ Sarah McLachlan is in concert this week at Meijer Gardens, performing with an orchestra on the big stage on Aug. 8.…

Also at Meijer Gardens, tickets are on sale for the big Mandolin Orange show, coming Sept. 4 …

Albion’s Swingin’ at the Shell summer music series is set to welcome Trippin’ Billies, a Dave Matthews Band tribute band, at the Victory Park Shell on Aug. 25 …

Grand Rapids Christian hip-hop/trap/ rap artist Steven Malcolm has released his sophomore album, Second City, with its lead single, “Fuego”… and that’s the buzz for this week’s Modern Rock.

Coming To THE STATE

FOURSCORE by kristi kates

Jonas Brothers – Happiness Begins – Republic

The New Jersey brothers — Nick, Joe, and Kevin — were in their teens when they first smashed down the doors of pop, gaining a legion of (mostly female) fans and becoming the ’N Sync of their day. Ten years later — after solo albums and other hiatus activities — the brothers are back, with a set that wisely recaptures a hint of their original sound while expanding it greatly. Here, each brings in elements of his solo work to craft a danceable, funky, patchwork-pop set with everything from West Coast harmonies (“Don’t Throw It Away”) to the studio-sleek “Cool,” undeniably catchy “Sucker,” and love songs like “Hesitate.”

Imperial Teen – Now We Are Timeless – Merge

OPEN NITES TIL 9 SUNDAYS 11-5

Spawned from an ’80s rock band and now sporting a classic West Coast garage-rock sound, Imperial Teen’s latest follows a pretty traditional road, with hints of psychedelia and grunge on tunes like “We Do What We Do Best,” with its steel-dense drumbeats, and “Parade,” which also brings an unexpected chorus turnaround. It’s a fairly short set (the entire thing clocks in at just over a half-hour), but the first two singles, the bouncing “We Do What We Do Best” and the electro-power-pop of “Walkaway,” prove that it’s worth a listen.

Bloc Party – Silent Alarm Live – BPP

Live editions of landmark albums seem to be a current trend, with Bloc Party leaping on this bandwagon for a decent standout version of its very first album, Silent Alarm (2005), as recorded during the band’s 2018 European tour. The initial album was named as one of the best rock albums of the decade; this live version helps testify as to why, with the original 13 tracks appearing on this set via even more urgent, energetic live takes, from the classic indie-rock of “Price of Gasoline” to the mosh-worthy “This Modern Love.”

Unless you’re not fun.

Yuna – Rogue – Verve

Blending the ’80s tones of Sade (“Soldier of Love”) with a more earthy-voiced Sia (“Chandelier”), Yuna’s unique R&B sound on this set finds her collaborating with a long list of peers, from Jay Park and Masego to Little Simz, as well as trying out some sampling sounds. Yuna debuted her music on MySpace back in the day, and her experimental spirit carries through here, 10 years later, on tracks like opener “Castaway,” with its dark violins; “Likes,” with its spiky commentary on social media; and the timely “Blank Marquee,” featuring G-Eazy.

the ADViCE GOddESS The Feud Pyramid

Q

: Two weeks ago, I finally dumped my totally abusive jerk of a boyfriend. I do miss him, but I know I made the right decision. I came to see that he was cruel, manipulative, sociopathic, and toxic. However, I stupidly went on Facebook and saw that he already has a new girlfriend!

I’m so pissed that I was replaced so quickly. I do not want him back, but I do want to make him suffer, basically to get revenge for all he put me through. My friend keeps telling me revenge is unhealthy and toxic and forgiveness is good for you and I need to forgive him. Is she right?

— Burned

A

: Revenge looks so Clint Eastwood-cool in the movies — less so when you get arrested for keying “micropenis!!!” into your ex’s car, right under a street cam.

The desire for revenge is basically the urge to punish people who’ve harmed us or those close to us. It’s widely believed to be a poisonous and maladaptive feeling that leads to poisonous and maladaptive behavior — like forays into the dark web to seek out a highly recommended but affordably priced assassin.

In fact, evolutionary psychologist Michael McCullough explains in “Beyond Revenge” that the revenge motive seems to be “a built-in feature of human nature,” a sort of psychological police force guarding our interests. It was likely vital to the evolution of human cooperation, which in turn led to essential human innovations such as flush toilets, open-heart surgery, and the Dorito.

COMMUNITY FEATURES • Outdoor pool • Community lodge • Community activities • Pets welcome • City water and sewer • Snow removal, lawn & home maintenance services available • New, pre-owned & custom homes from the $70’s to the $100’s

Research that McCullough cites suggests the revenge motive has three functions: Deterring aspiring aggressors, deterring repeat aggressors, and punishing (and reforming) freeloading moochbags.

The thing is, revenge has a companion motivation, forgiveness, which McCullough describes as “an internal process of getting over your ill will for an offender.” Interestingly, whether we forgive appears to be contextsensitive, meaning it usually isn’t the particular crime so much as the particular criminal that matters. McCullough notes that the forgiveness motivation seems to switch on when there’s a valuable relationship at stake -- a continuing relationship between the harmer and harm-ee.

In your situation, however, there’s no ongoing relationship to motivate you to forgive the guy. And though forgiveness is correlated with

mental health and even physical well-being, the assumption that forgiveness is always the best course of action is a little under-nuanced.

For example, McCullough writes that people with strong social support networks that encourage hostile responses to offenders can end up feeling “justified, comforted, and satisfied (by) their unforgiving stance” and “may not experience any negative emotional or physical consequences.” On the other hand, he notes that “people who feel coerced to ‘forgive and forget’ may find their post-offence distress exacerbated.”

To decide what’s best for you, consider the reason you give for wanting revenge: because your ex was on to the next woman pronto after you dumped him. Also consider that you now identify him as a pretty terrible person and partner. Of course, the reality is, we all want to be wanted, sometimes even by people we really don’t have any business wanting. But ask yourself something: In light of the sort of person you now see him to be, is it surprising in the least that he immediately latched onto his next victim?

Next, look at your life and calculate how much time and energy you’re investing in thinking dark and nasty thoughts about him. Is keeping the hate fires burning for him benefiting you?

Does it feel energizing (that is, rewarding), or does it feel a bit poisonous, psychologically and maybe even physically?

Sure, it’s understandable that you’d long to do something — take some action, even the score — in response to feeling angry. However, if the reason for your anger is ultimately that you didn’t look too closely at whom you were getting together with, maybe what’s most productive for you now is deciding to let go of the past and working on being better at boyfriend vetting in the future. This starts with reviewing your last relationship from start to finish. Be intensely honest with yourself about all you overlooked about the guy and how you got used to his escalating levels of abuse as your continual “new normal.”

By focusing on your part in this and how selective you need to be, you can shift into a sense of satisfaction that things will be different for you in the future. You should find this a welcome replacement for the head versus heart loop you’ve probably been stuck in: Your head says, “Move on.” Your heart says, “Sure thing — behind the wheel of heavy machinery when he has nowhere to go but el squasho!”

lOGY

AUG 05 - AUG 11

BY ROB BREZSNY

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I am overjoyed that you’re not

competing for easy rewards or comparing yourself to the mediocre crowd. Some people in your sphere may not be overjoyed, though. To those whose sense of self isn’t strong, you may be like an itchy allergen; they may accuse you of showing off or acting puffed up. But freaks like me appreciate creative egotists like you when you treat your personality as a work of art. In my view, you’re a stirring example of how to be true to one’s smartest passions. Keep up the good work!

Continue to have too much fun! I’m guessing that for now you can get away with doing just about anything you want as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I don’t

presume you should or will gleefully embrace the assignment I’ll propose. The task may indeed be too daunting for you to manage right now. If that’s the case, don’t worry. You’ll get another chance in a few months. But if you are indeed ready for a breathtaking challenge, here it is: Be a benevolent force of wild nature; be a tender dispenser of creative destruction; be a bold servant of your soulful dreams—as you demolish outmoded beliefs and structures that have been keeping a crucial part of your vitality shackled and latent.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I have cast a

feisty love spell that will be triggered in anyone who reads the first line of this horoscope.

And since you have done that, you are now becoming even smarter than you already were about getting the most out of your intimate alliances. You’re primed to experiment with the delights of feeling with your head and thinking with your heart. Soon you’ll be visited by revelations about any unconscious glitches that might be subtly undermining your togetherness, and you’ll get good ideas about how to correct those glitches. Astrological rhythms will be flowing in your relationships’ favor for the next seven weeks!

PISCES (Feb 19-March 20): I estimate that

about 25 percent of your fear results from your hesitation to love as deeply and openly and bravely as you could. Another 13 percent originates in an inclination to mistake some of your teachers for adversaries, and 21 percent from your reluctance to negotiate with the misunderstood monsters in your closet. But I suspect that fully 37 percent of your fear comes from the free-floating angst that you telepathically absorb from the other 7.69 billion humans on our planet.

So what about the remaining four percent? Is that based on real risks and worth paying attention to? Yes! And the coming weeks will be an excellent time to make progress in diminishing its hold on you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): When it came

time to write your horoscope, I was feeling unusually lazy. I could barely summon enough energy to draw up the planetary charts. I said a weak prayer to the astrological muses, pleading, “Please don’t make me work too hard to discover the message that Aries people need to hear; just make the message appear in my mind.” As if in response, a voice in my head said, “Try bibliomancy.” So I strolled to my bookcase, shut my eyes, pulled out the first book I felt, and went to a random page. Here’s what I saw when I opened my eyes: “The Taoist concept of wu-wei is the notion that our creative active forces are dependent on and nourished by inactivity; and that doing absolutely nothing may be a good way to get something done.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Below are

unheralded gifts possessed by many Geminis but not commonly identified by traditional astrologers: 1. a skill for deprogramming yourself: for unlearning defunct teachings that might otherwise interfere with your ability to develop your highest potentials; 2. a sixth sense about recognizing artificial motivations, then shedding them; 3. a tendency to attract epiphanies that show you why and how to break taboos that may once have been necessary but aren’t any longer; 4. an ability to avoid becoming overwhelmed and controlled by situations you manage or supervise.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I began writing

a book titled The Televisionary Oracle. By 1995, I had generated over 2,000 pages of material that I didn’t like. Although I was driven by a yearning to express insights that had been welling up in me for a long time, nothing about the work felt right. I was stuck. But finally I discovered an approach that broke me free: I started to articulate difficult truths about aspects of my life about which I was embarrassed, puzzled, and ashamed. Then everything fell into place. The process that had been agonizing and fruitless became fluidic and joyful. I recommend that you try this strategy to dissolve any mental blocks you may be suffering from: dive into and explore what makes you feel ashamed, puzzling, or embarrassed. I bet it will lead to triumph and fulfillment, as happened for me.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Let’s enjoy a

moment of poignant silence in honor of your expired illusions. They were soulful mirages: full of misplaced idealism and sweet ignorance and innocent misunderstandings. Generous in ways you may not yet realize, they exuded an agitated beauty that aroused both courage and resourcefulness. Now, as those illusions dissolve, they will begin to serve you anew, turning into fertile compost for your next big production.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): ld rules and traditions about how best to conduct intimate relationship are breaking down. New rules are still incubating. Right now, the details about how people express their needs to give and receive love seem to be riddles for which there are no correct answers.

So what do you do? How do you proceed with the necessary blend of confidence and receptivity? Can you figure out flexible strategies for being true both to your need for independence and your need for interdependence? I bring these ruminations to your attention, Libra, just in time for the “Transforming Togetherness” phase of your cycle.

ScORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’s time

for your once-a-year shout-out to your most audacious possibilities. Ready? Go ahead and say, “Hallelujah! Hosanna! Happiness! Hooray for my brilliant future!” Next, go ahead and say, “I have more than enough power to create my world in the image of my wisest dreams.” Now do a dance of triumph and whisper to yourself, “I’m going to make very sure I always know exactly what my wisest dreams are.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): There’s an old

Rosicrucian vow you might have fun trying out: “I pledge to interpret every experience that comes my way as a communication of God with my soul.” If you carry out this intention with relaxed playfulness, every bird song you hear is an emblem of Divine thought; every eavesdropped conversation provides hints of the Creator’s current mood; the shape that spilled milk takes on your tabletop is an intimation of eternity breaking into our time-gripped realm. In my years of offering you advice, I have never before suggested you try this exercise because I didn’t think you were receptive. But I do now. (If you’re an atheist, you can replace “God,” “Divine,” and “Creator” with “Life.”)

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

the next three weeks, I advise you to load up on copious amounts of caffeine from Monday at 8 a.m. until Friday at 6 p.m. Then drastically cut back on the coffee and consume large amounts of alcohol and/or marijuana from 6:01 p.m. on Friday through 6 p.m. on Sunday. This is the ideal recipe for success. JUST KIDDING! I lied. Here’s the truth, Sagittarius: Astrological indicators suggest you would benefit from making the coming weeks be the most undrugged, alcohol-free time ever. Your potential for achieving natural highs will be extraordinary, as will your potential to generate crucial breakthroughs while enjoying those natural highs. Take advantage!
